So, what makes Litchfield so
dominant?
In the World Series, the tiny
town of Litchfield, who had 11
girls try out for the team, placed
all 11 players on the team. The
young girls competed against
other teams in other states that
had thousands of players from
which to draft for their teams.
However, the Litchfield girls
Softball teams have absolutely
dominated, and crushed most,
if not all, who have jumped
onto the playing diamond to
challenge them.
Some may argue that the
strength of the Litchfields teams
rests in the fact that Litchfield is
a little more affluent than other
communities and parents are
in a position to offer the kids
the opportunity to participate
in clinics, summer programs,
and other special opportunities
which improve the play of the players.
But, the general theme, as discussed by those
close to the softball teams, state that they think
their talent is due to a combination of several
factors.
Litchfield, historically, has been a blue collar
and farming community, said longtime Litchfield
resident, Rich Lascelles. While Litchfield
has become more affluent in recent years, the
fundamental values of hard work and discipline
remain at the core of why the girls are so good.
But all will agree girls softball in Litchfield has
become a culture of winning. It has become a
culture of hard work, discipline, and respect for
one another, but most of all, for their love of the
game, and that respect it brings to the Litchfield
community.

Pelham Road now Open

after Months of Repairs

St. Johns Record Hop Reunion Helps 1965 AHS Classmate

Staff photos by Doug Robinson

by Doug Robinson
After many months of repairs to the Pelham Road Dam, Pelham Road reopened for traffic on Oct. 9. Workers were completing the installation of the
jersey barriers on both sides of the road in preparation for the road opening.
The project involved the replacement of a 5-foot diameter steel pipe, with a
new concrete box 7 feet by 16 feet wide, and the reconstruction of 540 feet of
roadway.
The profile and layout of the road was designed to improve the geometry and
the sight distance of that portion of Pelham Road, commented Hudson Town
Engineer Elvis Dhima.
Landscaping, seeding of the grass and the completion of the sides of the road
will take the construction crew another month for this project to be completed.
This project was funded, 80 percent by the state and 20 percent by the town,
and the lowest bidder was George R. Cairns and Sons Inc. for the amount of
$567,912.35.

Road paving machines and multiple dump trucks of asphalt were lined up on Pelham Road
last Friday as the paving of Pelham Road was completed. The road is now open for travel.

Forming a Local Action

Group to Combat Addiction
by Laurie Jasper
A grassroots effort is underway to attack the drug crisis in the community. As
a follow up to the May 6 and Oct. 1 community forums about the heroin crisis
and other forms of substance abuse, a meeting was held on Monday, Oct. 12 at
Alvirne High School to launch a coalition for action in Hudson.
Among those attending included Superintendent of Schools Bryan K Lane;
Regional Coordinator of Beyond Influence Lisa Vasquez; Pelham School Board
member and Pelham Community Coalition Executive Committee member
Debbie Ryan; Hudson resident and mother of Alex from Alexs Story, Rosemary
Smith-Berry; and Doug Robinson from the Area News Group.
Smith-Berry is dedicated to forming an action group in Hudson to increase
awareness, expand prevention efforts and assist those who need help in
combating the disease of addiction. Ryan shared with the group the steps
Pelham Community Coalition took to organize, almost three years ago, and gave
excellent advice. Lisa Vasquez helped guide them through the process and will
be a valuable asset for the Hudson group.

David Alukonis discusses gravestones at Rodgers Memorial Library Genealogy Club.

HMS to Undergo
Safe Zone Construction

by Laurie Jasper
Just call him a cemetery
enthusiast or a grave
hunter. Rodgers Memorial
Library Genealogy Club
hosted special guest David
Alukonis on Friday, Oct.
9 for a program entitled,
Bringing Cemeteries to
Life. David, a Hudson
native, serves as president
of the Hudson Historical
Society and is a Hudson
Cemetery Trustee, two of
his many accomplishments.
Alukonis also shared with the
crowd that he is a registered
taphophile, explaining
that means he is someone
interested in cemeteries and
gravestones.
Alukonis said he has
always had this interest since
his youth. He brought several
large gravestone rubbings on
specialty paper that he did
himself approximately 40
years ago. His discussion
included a PowerPoint
presentation with examples
of many different headstones
and burial places and the
history of markers, from
wooden and fieldstone to
slate, granite and marble.
Inscriptions on headstones
can offer key information
to those researching their
family histories. The Rodgers
Memorial Library Genealogy
Club meets the second Friday
of each month at 1:30 p.m.

Brian Miller, School Counselor,

Hudson Memorial School
New construction at Hudson

break ground this week. However,
this is not your typical architectural
project.
The HMS School Counseling
Department, along with the support
of the administration, faculty and
staff, will begin unveiling its new
program, the Safe Zone.
What is a Safe Zone? It is a place
where students, faculty, and staff feel
welcome as part of the greater school
community. Safe Zone members
respect the differences in all. When
you are inside of HMS, you are in a
Safe Zone! The Safe Zone includes
all who visit campus as well. When
you are in are building, either as
a parent/guardian, volunteer or
sports fan, you should feel part of
the program and become active
participants in the Safe Zone.
Those visiting HMS campus over
the coming months will notice
changes in our buildings appearance
as it relates to the development of the
Safe Zone. This may include things
such as classroom signs, reminders,
posters explaining the principles
behind the program, etc., to help all
Safe Zone members understand what
it means to be a member.
You may contact the Safe Zone
Team directly at SAFEZONE@
sau81.org as well. Members of the
Safe Zone team include the school
counseling staff as well as Mr. Bowen,

Remember Hudson when ...

Goodwins Fried Clams on Derry Road c. 1938
submitted by Ruth Parker
By 1931 Fred T. Goodwin and his wife
Annimae had moved to Hudson and by May
of that year Fred, a well-known amateur actor,
opened a place of business on Derry Road.
This was located at what was then the Abbott
property and directly across from Saint Patrick s
Cemetery. He specialized in Ipswich fried clams
which he obtained fresh from the flats. Fred.
and Annimae had the idea that if they served a
good meal at a reasonable price, people would
come. And they did! After the first week there
were reports that business was so great, many
were turned away, and more equipment was
quickly added. By 1935 free entertainment to
the clam emporium was added in order to attract
even more people.
Thanks to the Goodwin/Marshall family we
have these early photos of the stand. The first,
c. 1938, shows the cars packed into the lot and
along Derry Road. You see the band stand for
entertainment on the left and the clam stand
on the right. The cars to the right, opposite the
stand, are backed up against the stone wall of
Saint Patricks Cemetery in order to enjoy the
entertainment. The second photo of about the
same time shows a close-up of the front of the stand. Notice the
prices!
Fred was also very active in local theater and politics; serving as
selectman and in the state legislature. His approach to the fried
clam business gave him great notoriety as people came from all over
to the stand. Over the years the front of the stand did not change
except for addition of an ell on the right side which served as a soda
and ice cream fountain. Also by the 1950s traffic on Derry Road

Close-up of the front of Goodwins c. 1938

The clam stand and band stand with cars along Derry Road c.1938

was such that parking was not allowed in front of the stand.
Fred, Annimae, and later their family operated the stand for over
20 years. After Fred passed in 1952 Annimae ran the stand with
her family. Annimae (Grammy) worked the kitchen, Francis (Bud)
worked the grill and fryers, Elsie Marshall was the cashier. Fred,
Jr. had his own business in Nashua and would come to the stand
when he could. He routinely balanced the cash and made nightly
deposits.
By the late 1950s into the early 60s Fred III (Butch) oversaw much
of the operation of the stand. The stand employed about 15 people;

some of these were high schoolers working a summer job to save

for college expenses. In 1961 the stand had a bank of 11 fryers
(perhaps the largest in New England), a long mixing bench where all
fried foods were prepared, a chef table for preparing salads, lobster,
chicken, coleslaw, and tartar sauce.
By the mid 1960s business slowed and ownership passed from the
Goodwin family and soon after closed. By 1969 this property and
adjacent acreage was sold by the Abbott family to Phil Lamoy for the
20th Century Shopping Center.

The Word Around Town...

Letters to our Editor

Very Appreciative for the Chance

This letter of appreciation comes late but also is
perfectly timed as today is National Bosses Day. I want
to take this opportunity to recognize and give accolades
to a man who not only gave me a much needed chance
at employment but has given me a place to call my
second home for four years, seven months and 28 days
now.
My husband and I had gone through a lot, job and
financially-wise, prior to my being given my one shift
chance on Feb. 18, 2011, and it was my boss who said
to the manager upon my fourth time going in asking
for a job obviously she wants to work, just give her
a chance, one chance and see how she does. That
one chance was one of the best things that had ever
happened to not only me, but to my family because we
were almost homeless at that time.
Over the last four-plus years Ive worked with a great
team I call my second family and my boss is the reason
we all feel like family. When my brother sadly passed
away this past April, my boss, without batting an eye,
donated the food for his mercy meal and my family is
forever grateful and appreciative of that.
My boss has been and continues to be helpful,
understanding, nice, appreciative and a mentor to me
and everyone under his employment. My boss makes
sure to say hello and asks how we are doing each day
we work and he thanks us at the end of every shift and
I thank him in return. My boss gives chances to those
that really need them and that speaks volumes as to
the kind of boss and person he is. My boss is a family
man and is generous to the surrounding communities
that patron Roccos and their families; always quick to
donate food, gift certificates and even his personal time
and efforts at fund raisers and events.
So today (Boshua) Joshua Gorveatt, Happy Bosses

Day to you, the best boss I have ever had the privilege
to have (and Ive had my share) and yes, I still plan on
retiring from Roccos as Model Employee number 1!
Oh and one more thing Boss ... over use of the word
Boss ... wink!
Carolyn Cormier, Bartender, Roccos
Bar and Grill, Hudson

Whats Next at Benson Park?

Apologizing ahead of time ... but I have kept quiet
too long ...
I have been walking the trails at Bensons before all
the renovations started. I have appreciated all the work
of volunteers that have made this park what it is today.
Its the gem of Town of Hudson and I feel blessed that
I live down the street from it. Presently I am saddened
and fearful of what the future holds for this park. I
know I should air my feelings at the Benson Committee
meetings but I just cant hold back any longer.
I remember when the work began at the park ... I
read where the park was going to be created for walking
and biking and its natural state to be kept pastoral and
wild. I feel that the original idea has been lost. Lost
among the trash barrels the needless signs that obstruct
the views of ponds ... the fencing on the trails ... what is
the idea of this park? Do we really need it to be looking
like someones manicured backyard?
Please do not take this as a criticism as I am deeply
appreciative of all the work the volunteers have done for
this park. I love the park.
Let me leave you with this image ... as I feel it makes
my point ... and I ask how many signs do we need to
warn people to stay on the trail? One spot has five signs
where one would have been fine.
Nancy Lucia Daniels, Hudson

Veterans Day is Coming Soon

Back in July, I saw a Senior Beacon cartoon about
veterans observances and events that I suppose they did
with the approach of this years Veterans Day and also
because it was for July 4th and just after Memorial Day.
The cartoon depicted a gigantic football player with two
military men and one of them who appeared, who to
be a General (I guess) was slipping lots of money to the
football player; from behind, meaning of course that it
was supposed to be in secret.
That cartoon was about was, we watch NFL games
with special events for honoring our active military and
veterans, being as part of the games, that we think the
ultra wealthy team owners and teams; are producing
out of their love for and devotion to veterans and active
military; their show of their Patriotism. But then the
caption with the cartoon, lists 14 NFL teams (owned by
ultra wealthy owners who own lots of other businesses
and other sports teams) are paid to produce those
patriotic events for the active military and veterans.
As we get closer to Veterans Day 2015, I will
elaborate on this topic/subject matter but for now, think
about the ultra wealthy owners of the following teams
that wouldnt be so patriotic if they werent being paid
to be so patriotic.
Those teams are the Browns, Steelers, Bengals, Jets,
Dolphins, Packers, Chiefs, Cowboys, Ravens, Vikings,
Colts, Rams, Bills, Falcons. I think Im (we might be)
left to conclude that the owners of the other 18 teams
are truly Patriotic if they produce events honoring the
military and veterans out of their own over-stuffed
pockets.

business, any organization to produce events to honor

the military and veterans, why must they pay to have
that done? Are we, or are we not, a Patriotic country,
including businesses of all sizes, that will produce their
own events to honor the active military and veterans?
(I will mail a photocopy of that Senior Beacon cartoon,
listing those 14 teams, upon request to email: crazywords-1@NetZero.Net).
Jerry Gutekunst, Hudson

Putin It to Obama
President Putin just put it to President Obama
concerning the situation in Syria.
They had a discussion about military involvement in
Syria, and Putin convinced Obama the Russian air units
in Syria would help with attacks on ISIL. However,
Putin never considered attacking ISIL because his
military forces are in Syria to bolster the Assad regime,
and therefore they are bombing the U.S. backed antiAssad rebels; and Russian ground forces are attacking
the anti-Assad forces.
The U.S. supplies the moderate anti-Assad rebels
with arms and then the Russians bomb them and their
equipment. The arms suppliers in the U.S. and Russia
have to be laughing all the way to the banks.
Once again, President Obama has placed the national
security of the U.S. in jeopardy in order to placate
another country. This subservience syndrome will
embolden our potential adversaries in the world to test
our military posture.
Donald A. Moskowitz, Londonderry

Corn Hole Tournament Helps Fight

Brain Stem Cancer

Charles Prew prepares for his toss as his partner,

Enthusiasts from around the New

tournament.
The tournament was initiated by
Frank Lafontaine, grandfather of

weigh 14 to 17 ounces.
Two people on a team challenged
another team of two by totaling their
throws as one does in horseshoes.
The game is won when a team
reaches 21 points.
One side of the bean bag is slick
and one side is sticky, instructed
corn hole competitor, Ron Lincks.
You get one point for
closest to the hole and
three points for getting
your bag into the hole. It
is similar to the scoring in
horseshoes.
Those who competed
also brought food items
that were then donated

Area Marksmen Participate

in Junior Rifle Clinic
submitted by Bill Dutton
The Hudson Fish and Game Club Incs annual Junior Rifle
Clinic was held on Sept. 9 and 10 with 15 boys and girls,
ages 9 through 16 in attendance. The clubs Junior Rifle
Team traditionally holds this clinic to teach firearm safety,
marksmanship skills, and instruct young people in the
Olympic sport of precision rifle shooting.
Day one, the attendees were introduced to the team
members and the coaches on the range, surrounded by
reminders of the success the team has had over the years.
This included the 64 national records and multiple national
championships.
After the introductions were done, the attendees were
shown an introductory video made by USA Shooting (US
National Olympic Shooting Body). Former Team Captain
Bailey Urbach made a video cameo, from her Ohio State
University dorm room, introducing herself, and talking
about how the team helped her achieve her goal of being
on a Division 1 NCAA Rifle Team.
The group returned to the range to see a live fire
demonstration of the different shooting positions the team
competes in. This included Elizabeth Dutton shooting the
standing position with her air rifle, and using an electronic
trainer called a SCATT. Liana Squeglia demonstrated the
kneeling position. The prone position was demonstrated by
Chris Ferry.
Upon completion, they returned to the main hall for
safety training, rifle components, and an overview of
marksmanship fundamentals. Afterwards, the attendees split
into two groups, and took turns shooting on the range under
the close supervision of the team coaches and shooting
team members.

Day two, after a safety briefing, the group headed back to

the range to refine their rifle skills, and get sighted in for the
final match of the clinic. After one set of practice targets per
group, they were ready for the match.
The match was fired on the USA-50 small bore rifle target,
fired at a distance of fifty feet. To put it into perspective,
the ten ring on the target is about one millimeter wide or
the size of the head of a pin. The athletes were allowed
unlimited sighting shots, followed by twenty shots for
record. All were fired from a prone, supported position,
which means gun rested on a shooting rest.
The scores were tight among the top four shooters with
only ten points separating them. Hannah Ditch, 15, of
Derry, was fourth overall, edged out by her brother Erich,
16, who shot a 165, while Hanna shot a 160. The highest
score they could receive was 200. It came down to the last
shot for Tanner Bonner, 16, of Pelham, and Garrett Ready,
14, of Duns table, Mass. On the final shot for record, Ready
turned around to ask a coach for advice. It turned out to
be a fatal mistake. By breaking his position, Ready had
to try to settle back into his rifle and re-align himself with
the target for the final shot. All he needed for the win was
an eight or better. As luck would have it, he shot a seven,
and finished with a 169 to Tanners 170. It was a lesson he
wont forget.
Also in attendance were New Hampshire students Evan
Gainey, 11, of Hudson; Christopher Kelly, 14, of Pelham;
Jacob Hardman, 13; Demi Dionne, 13; Lauren Dionne,
11; and Andy Crusan, 14, of Litchfield; Luke Latino, 16,
of Atkinson; Thomas Cargile, 12; and Ben Mead, 13, from
Merrimack; Conner Barret, 11, of Nashua; and Aidan Finn,
12, from Windham.

PMA Harpist Heading to

Symphony Hall
submitted by Presentation of Mary Academy, Hudson
Danielle Orr-Skirvin is a fourth grader at the Presentation of Mary Academy
in Hudson. She started playing the harp at 6 years old at Indian Hill Music
with Nancy Peters. Danielle has been advancing her harp skills over the
past three years, and had the opportunity to audition at the New England

The next step for Danielle was an audition with Franziska Huhn, an
internationally known harpist. Franziska accepted Danielle for private lessons
and is the youngest member of the Junior Harp Ensemble at the New England
Conservatory. The opportunity for growth has been tremendous since
September as Danielles ensemble is working on more advanced pieces by

PMAs A Cappella Group is Wicked Sharp

Tentative Tax Rate Set

for 2015
by Doug Robinson
Town of Hudson Board of Selectmen has reviewed the 2015 tax
rate. The tentative tax rate will be reviewed for final approval and
certification from the New Hampshire Department of Revenue
Administration.
The increase in the proposed tax rate is a direct result of Hudson
schools. While the town side of the taxes was reduced by .02 the
school side of the taxes was increased by 42 cents.
Superintendent Bryan Lane stated, Even during a default budget,
the school needs to fulfill all contracts which include salaries and
benefits, and other contracts such as transportation. We also had a
decline in revenue from federal funding as well as a decline in state
funding.
The impact for the average single family Hudson home of $256,000
will be a $110 annual increase to their taxes.
Hudson tax rates for previous years are listed below:

Maria Gonzalez, Adam Shaw and the Wicked Sharp singers

submitted by Presentation of Mary Academy, Hudson
You may remember hearing about the new a cappella group Wicked Sharp at the Presentation of
Mary Academy. They are back at it!
These junior high singing students attended the Voices of the 603 workshop at UNH on Friday, Oct.
9. The event, now in its sixth year, included an all-day workshop for a cappella singers followed by a
concert and competition later that night at the Capitol Center for the Arts. The girls learned about many
different aspects of a cappella including lyrics, stage presence, vocals, and beatboxing. They were
inspired by performances from over a dozen NH high school, college, and amateur a cappella groups.
In addition, the group has been working on a video for the Macys All-School A Cappella Challenge.
The contest requires all participants to create a video of their a cappella performance of I Want You
Back from the Jackson 5. Junior High math teacher, Adam Shaw and music teacher, Maria Gonzalez are
assisting the group with their performance and video. Stay tuned to hear how they do.

Ceiling Improvements Can Get Things

Looking up in Your Kitchen

(BPT) - When youre planning a full kitchen renovation, or even just a few choice upgrades, counter tops,
cabinets, appliances and flooring command your attention. But do you ever look up? Unless a lightbulb burns
out or you want to replace a light fixture, you probably
dont think much about the ceiling in your kitchen or
other rooms.
Yet with all the cooking and living that goes on
in the kitchen, a whole lot of unpleasantness can
gather in the top half of the room, including heat
and moisture, cooking odors and grease. All that
can make the ceiling dingy, darken the room and
turn the air in your kitchen stale and unpleasant.
As youre refurbishing your kitchen, here are some
ways - simple to lofty - to improve the ceiling
and brighten the whole room:

Home
Improvement

The simple stuff

Just as painting walls is the easiest,
most cost-effective way to create a new
look in a room, painting the kitchen ceiling can have a huge impact on how the
room feels and functions. For example, if
your kitchen is short on windows and often feels dark, painting the ceiling a high
gloss white can help brighten it by reflecting light back down into the room. You can
also add faux tin ceiling tiles to reflect light
and to create a vintage look.
Stuck with light-colored flooring, countertops and cabinets that make the room look
washed out? Adding a subtle hue to the ceiling can help bring color to the room without
the aggressiveness of a heavy wall color.
Even if your kitchen has no design issues you
need to resolve from the top down, repainting the ceiling can impart a fresh, bright look.
Perhaps new light fixtures arent in your
budget or you really like the ones you have.

In either event, replacing incandescent or

flourescent light bulbs with LEDs or CFLs
can soften harsh overhead lighting and use
less electricity at the same time.

Practical luxury
Kitchens cry out for light but with wall
space often largely devoted to cabinets, it
can be a challenge to get enough natural
light into the room through windows alone.
Adding a skylight is a cost-effective way to
compensate for a lack of windows and to
bring balanced natural light and fresh air
into a kitchen.
Skylights can help vent cooking odors and
moisture from the kitchen if you choose Energy Star-qualified solar-powered fresh-air
skylights, like those from Velux America. A

The blower tube is engineered to be in line with

the handle, minimizing rotational force on the
wrist. Youll quickly create piles of leaves for composting without back or joint aches.
Clean clogged gutters
You probably dont give much thought to your
homes gutter system, but when it gets clogged
with leaves, twigs and other yard debris, youll
wish you had. This organic matter in the gutter
clogs up your roofs drainage system, which can
cause water leaks into your home, or worse, ice
dams.
Make sure your gutters are clean before frigid
temperatures set in. Using a leaf blower gutter kit
you can carefully clean out gutters and inspect
the shingles for any damage.
Trim dangerous branches
Do you have braches that have grown dangerously close to your or your neighbors home? Perhaps a branch died over summer is just hanging
there. Trim trees today to avoid hassles tomorrow.
Winter winds paired with ice and snow can snap
branches that can then cause costly property
damage - and since its your tree, youll be on the
line for the bill.
Fall is the ideal time to trim trees for winter
to give you peace of mind. For small limbs, a
pruning saw is a great tool. For larger limbs, use
a reliable chainsaw like the Husqvarna 450. The
X-Torq engine means lower fuel consumption and
reduced emission levels, plus Smart Start allows
an easy start every time. Bonus: after cutting
branches and sawing into logs, youll be ready
with wood for winter fires.

(BPT) - Depending on where you live and what

weather forecasting service you listen to, the
upcoming winter may be brutal. Weather predictions can be as variable as the weather itself, but
one thing is for sure - temperatures dont need to
drop drastically to inspire unwelcome animals to
encroach on your personal space.
Deer can devastate your landscape, rodents can
infiltrate your backyard and before you know it
you have damage to your yard and home. Wildlife
can even put your familys health at risk; deer are
known to harbor disease-carrying ticks and rodent
infestations have been associated with respiratory
ailments. It pays to take sensible steps to keep unwanted animals away from your home this winter,
no matter what the temperature.

s
Hu d s o n ~ L i t c h f i e l d N e w

Sensible Steps to Keep Unwanted Animals

out of Your Environment
lent is an all-natural, topical spray that repels
small herbivores but is harmless to all wildlife,
people, pets and contains no petro chemicals.
Rain, snow, hosing and irrigation wont wash the
product off, and you can even use it as a bulbdip to prevent below-ground foraging. It can also
be sprayed at the mouth of burrows and holes
to prevent animal re-entry. Bobbex-R will also
help protect plantings from reduced moisture
content during periods of water reduced weather conditions. In winter, cold weather, blustery
winds and frozen soil reduce plants ability to
absorb much needed moisture to maintain vitality. Bobbex-R provides retention of moisture
in plantings through periods of frigid weather,
and reduces damage from early fall frost.

Diverting deer
A single deer can consume 1.5 tons of vegetation a year. The number of whitetail deer has tripled in certain states in the past
decade, and as other food sources become scarce in fall and winter, hungry deer turn
to suburban landscapes for food. Foraging deer can cripple gardens, shrubs and trees,
sometimes rendering them unable to weather winter, leaving you with a dead, lifeless
landscape in springtime. Deer also carry the ticks that cause Lyme disease.
When winter comes, you dont want to be spending time in the cold maintaining
fences (which often arent tall enough to keep deer out), sound and sight deterrent devices (which deer get used to) or even utilizing a chemical based repellent (which can
be harmful to humans, pets, wildlife and plants). Instead, opt for a proven effective,
all-natural topical spray repellent like Bobbex Deer Repellent. Available as a readyto-use spray or concentrate, Bobbexs taste and smell deterrent wont wash off in rain
or snow, and proved 93 percent effective in independent testing by the Connecticut
Agricultural Experiment Station. Visit www.bobbex.com to learn more.
Ridding yards of rodents
If youre a fall gardener, rabbits, squirrels, chipmunks and other herbivores can do
more damage to your landscape than frost. Fencing and other types of deterrents like
plastic owls often arent effective in scaring herbivores away. Bobbex-R Animal Repel-

Pro-active tips to keep critters

out of homes
Mice, rats and even raccoons can take up residence inside homes when
the weather turns cold. A single rodent in a home can quickly turn into an infestation, damaging walls, belongings and exposing your family to allergens
and disease. Removing an infestation can be costly and time-consuming, so
it makes sense to be pro-active and try to prevent pests from coming inside
in the first place.
Before the weather cools, take a look around your home to find any
potential entry points - remember, mice may be able to get in through an
opening as small as 1/4 inch - and plug them. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends looking around doors and windows, pipes
throughout the home, fireplaces, attics and crawl spaces, vents and drains.
You can do the job yourself or hire a professional to help pest-proof your
home.
While you may have to put up with a long, cold, hard winter you certainly
dont have to tolerate unwanted four-legged foes in your home or yard once
the weather cools and winter arrives. A combination of the right deterrents and
prudent preparations can ensure your environment remains as pest-free as possible this year.

Design Tips for a Chef-Centered Kitchen

(BPT) - Many homeowners with a passion for cooking desire a

kitchen that mirrors those of renowned chefs. To achieve this, various design elements and simple upgrades can be incorporated to
create the ideal kitchen that combines ultimate functionality with
sophisticated style.

grouped together in stylish trays to keep humidity high. For an extra

splash of color, add edible flowering plants to the garden, such as
lavender, lemongrass and violet. These homegrown herbs can be
used as garnishes, to layer flavor into a dish or even in cocktails for
at-home entertaining.

Faucet makeover
Culinary enthusiasts spend a lot of time at the sink. A faucet that
simplifies tasks is a necessity and the Brizo Solna Articulating
Kitchen Faucet is a culinary-driven innovation offering flexibility
and control in the kitchen. Boasting crisp, contemporary lines, the
articulating arm can be adjusted to position the two-function spray
wand at various heights and angles - extend the arm up or outward
to fill large pots or lower into the sink to reduce splash during cleanup. Beyond function, its Scandinavian inspiration brings a streamlined architecture to any kitchen.

Designated task stations

Commercial restaurants work well with cooking stations for seamless preparation and execution. Designate specific areas for every
facet of meal preparation to aid in overall organization and evoke
the look and feel of a five-star kitchen in your home.
In most top-rated kitchens, food preparation is commonly
performed between the sink and refrigerator to
ensure all needs are met for retrieving, rinsing and

Just as great recipes call for top-quality ingredients, great kitchens

Thumbs Up?

Thumbs Down?

Comments expressed in this column are the sole views of those callers and do not reflect the views of the Hudson~Litchfield News or its advertisers. Town and school officials encourage
readers to seek out assistance directly to resolve any problems or issues. The Hudson~Litchfield News editorial staff holds the right to refuse any comment deemed inappropriate.
Editors Note: For the past several months,
readers have been hearing about the noise
emanating from the Londonderry Fish & Game
Club and the noise from fireworks in Litchfield.
After this weeks edition, comments regarding
these two issues will no longer be accepted ... its
time to move on.

Thumbs down. Lets debate going to war with

the wrong country. Shutting down government
and being owned by the most wealthy Americans
versus Ben Ghazi, health care and representing
the American people. Or just elect Hillary and
her husband who knows how to create a surplus.
Let big money lobby, not own, America and all its
people.
Thumbs down. They talk health care yet they
sicken their elderly on cat food. The price of
groceries has gone over the top and some cant
afford the prices and hope for a cost of living
adjustment yearly. The government claims that
the lower prices at the gas pump are the reason
why the cost of living will be zero this year. I
remember when the cost of a gallon of gas was
under $1 and the seniors still got a cost of living
adjustment. Watch how quickly the government
would find the money if America were to go to
war again.

you in your abusive childhood have issues dealing

in life.
Thumbs down to the local dumping needles at
the hospital and yes now they know and the eyes
are watching.
Thumbs down to the pickup truck at the
Library Street School with all the profanity and
marijuana stickers! Our kids can read and we
dont appreciate it.

then doing that. The worst part is, now that gas
is about $2 a gallon, there is some wiggle room
to bring them down and you think he would but
no, hes taking the money! Just as greedy as the
others! A far cry from 4 percent back, huh.

cut 12 waiting cars in front of you to pick up your
child? Your time is not more valuable than the
people waiting to pick up their kids? Wait in line
next time like the rest of us!
Thumbs down to the irresponsible dog owners
on Copeland Drive! Reported and will now be
walking with a pop out umbrella to shock the dog
so I can back away! But I shouldnt have to walk
in fear of dogs that cannot be controlled by their
owners! We have a leash law! Keep your dogs

Thumbs up to the person who boasts about

saving $20 over Market Basket prices by shopping
around: What are you buying and where? How
are you able to save that much? Are you buying
canned goods at the $1 store or something?
Because their competition has at least a 10 cent
mark up on pretty much everything on my list.
Most of the time, their sale prices are the same as
non-sale at MB, or even a whole dollar more than
the regular price at MB! How much shopping
around are you doing? Because between gas and
the time you spend driving to different stores, is
that worth the $20 savings you see on the receipt?
I agree that the price of food is going up, thats
hard to miss. Still, where are you shopping and
what are the products you save so much on?

Thumbs up to LMS for the excellent

communication to your parents! We really
appreciated the progress reports last week
and the weekly email updates from the LMS
administration. Keep up the great work!

comment, please specify that you would like it printed

More than 200 area youth, grades two through eight, competed
in the Presentation of Mary Cross Country Invitational track meet
held on the Presentation of Mary school grounds in Hudson.
The children were broken down into four groups according to
grade and gender. The 1.9-mile event led twice around the new
football field, up through the woods, then returning to the athletic

The
HudsonLitchfield
third-grade
Bears made
the long trip
to Plymouth
worth their
while on
Sunday
morning with
a convincing
40-0
thrashing
of the host
Huskies.
The game
was put out
of reach early
with a couple
of quick
touchdowns,
and the
offense
Post-game celebration after another Bears win
remained
on the field
often due to
numerous recovered onside kicks. The defense continued to dominate, forcing multiple fumbles and
driving the offensive line backward before many plays could get started. Two short passes by Gabe
Conrow to Camren Dillon and Charlie Crawford resulted in long touchdown runs. By halftime, the Bears
had quickly built a 34-0 lead. A second-half touchdown by the jitterbugging Dante Pirrotta ended the
scoring.
The unsung heroes of the team are the stud players on the offensive and defensive lines, which have
controlled the games this year and allowed for the skill players to do their thing. All of the kids have
made significant contributions at one
time or another, a reflection of the true
nature of a great team.
Head Coach Jeff Conrow said All
season long our goal has been to take
one game at a time, enjoy it after a win
and then move into the next game with a
0 and 0 mindset with everything to prove
to our next opponent. This game was no
different. Moving into our final game
of the season our preparation and focus
wont change. We have an amazing
group of athletes but more importantly
a great group of kids that Hudson and
Litchfield can be proud of. Our Play
Hard and Never Give Up attitude is
contagious.
After the successful three-game road
trip, the team returns home on Sunday
for their final regular season game against
the 3-4 Monadnock Mountaineers. The
game starts at 9 a.m. behind Hudson
Memorial School, and the team would
appreciate any added support from the
community.

Third-Grade Bears Steamroll

Plymouth to Move to 7-0

submitted by Kelly Champagne

Win or lose this season the
Hudson Litchfield Bears 4U football
team has been full of spirit. With a
new head coach, Coach Larry Torre,
and more than half of the 4U team
being first-time football players, the
team has built a solid base built of
team work, spirit, and dance moves.
The team has worked really hard to
find the right fit for each player.
Returning this year are 12 players
from the previous football season and
13 new players. Head Coach Torre
said These boys give us everything
they have day in and day out,
They impress me every time we are
together, win or lose. This has been
a great experience that I wouldnt
trade in for anything with half of
the coaching staff being their first
year as well like Coach Nathan
LaVarnway, Dave Reynolds, Sean
Kennedy, Tapan Mody and Dave
Thibeault to the more seasoned
Coaches like Mike McTaggart and
Ryan Fay, the team has done well.
With the overwhelming support
of the parents and families of the
team that is no surprise.
Current standing for the Hudson
Litchfield 4U team is 2-5, and the
last game of this season is a bye,
but if you are around them you
would never know. If it isnt their
half-time dance moves, but the
care and concern they show each
other; this is what a team should
always be like.
After the final regular season
game in Plymouth this past
weekend the 4U Bears with the
coaches came together for their
last huddle of the season. Smiles
were all around, and Coach Larry
addressed his team. There was
a little cracking in his voice but
after a season spent together that
is to be expected. You build a
bond with these kids even if you
dont expect to, it is just one of those
things. At the end of this season I
feel like I have 24 additional sons,
Coach Larry said.
With the season closed they
now look to build on what they
have learned this season as players
and coaches and plan on coming
back next year to start it all over
again - as a team and as a family.

Tyler Grant saw an opportunity to run on a 4thand-1. Grant scampered 31 yards for a first down
at the South 40-yard line. Runs by Brad Kamal
of 25 and 14 yards had the Broncos sitting on
the 1-yard line. Kamal went into the end zone
untouched from there.
A relatively quiet game erupted at the end of
the first half. South scored a touchdown on a
pass from Sean Holland
to Collin Morrow with 49
seconds left in the half.
Jacen Hudson weaved
his way through traffic for
a 50-yard kickoff return.

kickoff by the Purple

Kamal quickly covered the 64 yards for his
third touchdown of the game leaving the
Broncos down 33-22 at the half.
Alvirne head Coach Tim Walsh talked
about this point in the game, The players
were really psyched up in the locker room
at halftime. We kept coming back and
felt good about our chances in the second

The second half started out well for
Alvirne. After kicking off to start the

Lady Broncos Run Winning Streak

to Three Games

Cougar Volleyball Remains

Undefeated, 13-0

tighter, however, this was short lived as Tufts
finished nicely in front of the net on a cross from
Kristin Decost to finish the scoring and salting
away the 4-1 victory. Sammi Giannelli was great
in goal with eight saves, and the midfield and
strong defense were able to run off almost all the
Merrimack attacks.
The third win came against Nashua South in
the pouring rain at Stellos Field. The weather
seemed to affect the Broncos as they came
out a little flat and were down 1-0 at the half.
Whatever was said at halftime seemed to rally
Alvirne, and they came out firing on all cylinders
potting three goals and securing a 3-1 victory.
Danielle Ross got the second half started with
a quick goal on a shot from Emily Lizotte that
hand cuffed the South keeper allowing Ross to
finish with an alert poke. This opened the flood
gates as Ross got a nice feed from Kayla Juliano
at the top of the box and fired a banana into
the side netting to take the lead they would not
relinquish. Tana Tufts added an insurance goal
taking a lead pass from Ross and driving down
the left side using her speed to angle off the
South defender and finishing low into the side
netting.
The second half was all Alvirne as the Bronco
defense of Erin Rosier, Jamie Calvagna, Olivia
Bertrand and Lexi Prescott fronted goalie Sammi
Giannelli, and they kept South out of the
offensive zone and kept the ball in the hands
of their multi-faceted offense and tough nosed
midfield. The Broncos will start the next week
with Timberlane at home and end the week at
Bedford.
Good Luck Ladies!!

Keeper Sammi Giannelli makes another tough save.

Broncos decided to take a short corner with a
pass to Kayla Juliano. Juliano crossed the ball
into the box where Tana Tufts waited for the
header. Her shot was turned away and Lizotte
was able to clean up the garbage for a 2-0 lead.
Lizotte completed the hat trick five minutes
later doing what she does best, taking a lead
pass from Tufts and crossing over the defender
three times before slipping the shot low past the
Merrimack keeper for a 3-0 lead. Merrimack
responded later in the second half with a good
penetration and shot to make the game a little

What a difference a week makes! Coming
off a tough loss to Exeter and dropping their
record to 5-4-1 on the season, the Lady Broncos
were trending in the wrong direction with a
tough Lancer squad on the horizon. The team
hunkered down and rallied around their mantra
Lets finish what we started. They reeled off
three wins in a row to get to 8-4-1 and are in the
conversation as one of the toughest teams in the
division.
Alvirne Soccer started by beating the Lancers
1-0 in overtime and then in came Merrimack.
The game was played in beautiful fall conditions
and was a back-and-forth affair for the first 20
minutes. That is when the Lady Broncos started
to find their stride. At the 23rd minute Emily
Lizotte got on a breakaway and finished cleanly
to give Alvirne the lead which they took to the
half.
The second half started quickly as Alvirne
earned a corner at the 5-minute mark. The

Lady Cougars honoring Breast Cancer Awareness Month - back row, from left, Marissa Carignan, Cleo Schultz, Olivia
Martinage, Cassidy Gibbons, Gabi Sott, Ceidi Diaz, Avery Lacroix, Mary Kuczkowski, Olivia Garand, Meghan Gibbons
and Abby Gray. In the front row, Taysia Boyson, Maddy Trevains, Val Boucher and Sophie Scafidi.
Winnisquam High School brought its 10-0 record and a bit of attitude to the Cougar Den on Tuesday.
While they lost, their undefeated record in three sets to one to the home squad, the attitude still might
be there. Those who filled the Den might have seen the best volleyball contest from the top teams in this
2015 season. There were many long volleys with amazing play on both sides of the net.
Winnisquam did win one set; scoring was 25-16, 28-26, 21-25,
25-13. High scoring for the Cougars were Val Boucher, 18 service
points, four aces, 12 kills, 24 digs and Gabi Sott, 12 service points,
15 kills and 20 digs. In addition, Sophie Scafidi had 31 assists
from her setter position, and Taysia Boyson added 28 digs and two
assists.
Friday the ninth saw the Cougar Den turn pink to salute October
being Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The Belmont Red Raiders
took one set from the Cougars but had to retreat with their record
moving to 3-8. Set scoring was 25-18, 21-25, 25-6, 25-7. Leading
the points was Val Boucher 26 service points, six aces, five kills and
15 digs. Gabi Sott had 14 kills and 14 digs, while Olivia Martinage
had nine kills and seven blocks with her play at the net. Sophie
Scafidi aided with 30 assists, and Taysia Boyson tallied 18 digs,
three assists and one kill.
Earlier in the week, the ladies traveled to Moultonborough.
While it took five sets the Cougars returned to Litchfield with a W
in the team standings. Play was as follows: 23-25, 28-26, 25-19,
19-25, 15-12.
Looking forward there are three games left in the regular season.
Trinity (8-3) will be the host on Friday the 16th, and then on Tuesday
the 20th the Cougars bus will head to Pittsfield where as of this
report the home group has not won a game. The season ends with
Epping coming to the Cougar Den on Friday the 23rd; they will be
putting their current 10-2 record on the line.

Last Wednesday, Oct. 7, the Broncos played to a 2-2 tie against
Merrimack High School across the river; the result was a tie.
Alvirne scored first in the game in the first half. Mitch DeMinico
scored on a dribbler. So they were up 1-0 at the half. Merrimack
High scored twice after that, and then Jack Regan scored from

outside the box to tie it up with just a few minutes left in the game.
The game went to two OTs with neither team coming out on top, so
it ended in a tie, 2- 2. Merrimack dominated with a lot of shots on
goal in the OTs, but Alex Quatros made several big saves. Quatros
was in goal for the whole game.
On Oct. 15, Memorial Stadium was the location of the contest

against Bedford, which, at press time, might have been the last
home game for senior players. But the game vs. Nashua South that
was cancelled last Friday has been scheduled for this Saturday, Oct.
17, at 4 p.m. and it may be senior night instead of Thursday game
against Bedford. The boys finish their season on the road against
Hanover and Concord.
