Clowning Around with

Friends of Benson Park

The Friends of Benson Park,
Inc. hosted a spaghetti Supper on
Saturday, Oct. 24 from 4 p.m. to 7
p.m. at the Hudson Community
Center. The Halloween-themed
event included delicious food
along with raffles, face painting,
balloon animal sculptures and
even a special appearance from
members of Granite State Clowns,
who entertained the crowd
throughout the evening with fun
treats and a few good natured
tricks, too.
We had a great night tonight;
Lucky Penny (aka Karen Hill from Salem) lives
weve been busy. We had more
up to her name by winning the nights 50/50
families come with their kids this
rae. Here, she shares the spotlight with Ryan

Gasdia, 8, of Hudson who was excited to win one

of the rae prizes.
As the days grow colder, the
Friends of Benson Park will continue
with projects on the property, and some will be concentrating on the inside of the
former elephant barn during the winter. A dedicated group of volunteers meets
regularly during weekdays. If youd like to help out with maintenance of the
trails and other projects, please contact the members through
www.friendsofbensonpark.org.

These close-knit Campbell seniors look all business as they get ready to play their final game in the Cougar Den:
Valerie Boucher, Olivia Martinage, Christina Marra, Avery LaCroix, Sophie Scafidi and Taysia Boyson.
NHIAA Division 3 tournament play began Thursday, the
29th, with Raymond bringing its 3-13 record to Litchfield.
Campbell played Raymond on Sept. 22 during the regular
season and took all three sets from them at that time. In
the one-and-done format of the NHIAA, one loss ends
tournament play for you. The winner will play next
Halloween versus the winner of the Newfound/Trinity
match. With Campbell being the number-one seed, that
contest would be in the Cougar Den.

Epping High School came to the Cougar Den Friday,
the 23rd, for the final regular game of the 2015 season.
The Blue Devils came with a respectable record of 11-4,
and did manage to take one set. Set scoring was 23-12,
25-18, 18-25, 25-17 on this senior night for the Campbell
girls. In the scoring book, Gabi Sott had 13 kills, Sophie
Scafidi turned in 29 assists, and Val Boucher was credited
with 13 kills.

A lot of great cooking with a liberal dash of clowning took place in the kitchen at the Friends of
Benson Park Spaghetti Supper. Volunteers even got a visit from the Granite State Clowns, from

Cracker Jacks (aka Barbara Foristall), and Don Newell.

Exciting Chinese Acrobats

and Some Language Lessons
by Len Lathrop
Your HLN is lucky to have an office about two minutes away from Presentation
of Mary Academy. On Monday we were invited to come down the street to see
Chinese acrobats perform.
With more than 500 students at the academy, two performances were needed
to get everyone into the second-floor auditorium. During this show in attendance
were kindergartners to fourth graders, who were excited to see the Bureau of
Lectures and Concert Artists, Inc. This special opportunity was supported by the
PMA parents group. The only way we can tell you about this performance is show
you, our readers, some pictures of both the performers and the students and their
enjoyment. Almost forgot to tell you, there was an educational component to the
performance. The MC taught the students some Chinese words as the performers
readied themselves for the many different
feats that they showed the children.

The seniors with their families

The General Federation of Womens Clubs New Hampshire
held its Fall Field Meeting and 120th Anniversary Celebration
on Saturday, Oct. 24, at SERESC Conference Center in
Bedford, N.H. GFWC-NH President Tina Smith welcomed
over 50 members to the day-long event, themed Renew.
Rebuild. Rejuvenate.
Following the business meeting in the morning, special
highlights in honor of the 120th anniversary included a video
message of appreciation from Senator Kelly Ayotte, a reading
of a proclamation from Gov. Maggie Hassan by Tina Smith,
and retrospective speeches about past presidents and junior
directors, during which current members portrayed several
leaders from GFWC-NHs past who played pivotal roles in
GFWC-NH history.
Special guest Rebecca Rule, a New Hampshire author,
humorist and storyteller, shared a special presentation after
lunch entitled Strong Women with Attitudes, delighting the
audience with her charming stories, subtle wit and quaint
New Hampshire accent.
GFWC-NH Hudson member Laurie Jasper displayed a
portion of her vintage hats collection she inherited from her
aunts, which were appreciated and worn by many throughout
the day. In fact, Rebecca Rule selected a lovely hat to wear
throughout her program, quipping that her talk was about,
Women with Attitudes and Hat-itudes.
Yankee humor is my specialty. You have to be smart to
put it together, Rule said with a grin. With a lot of my
humor, people dont actually laugh until the next day, she
said, to immediate laughter.

GFWCNH was founded by Lilian Carpenter Streeter

on Oct. 24, 1895, in Concord. GFWC is an international
womens organization that is dedicated to community
improvement by enhancing the lives of others through
volunteer service. The list of accomplishments and projects is
long and varied over the 120 years, from the New Hampshire
Farm Museum in Milton, and the Clean River Project to the
Kindergarten Bill and even the purchase of a war bomber
during World War II.
Hudson has two GFWC NH Clubs, GFWC Hudson
Community Club and GFWC Hudson Junior Womens Club,
which were both represented at the meeting.

Liam OKeefe was pulled from the audience.

Remember Hudson When ...

Robinson Road near Pond c. 1930

submitted by Ruth Parker

In this c. 1930 photo readers can see a horse-drawn wagon traveling on Robinson Road just west of Robinson Pond near the present intersection with Parker Drive. On the wagon seat are Charles Charlie Parker,
Whitney Westneat and Alice (Mrs. Arthur) Westneat. In the wagon is the Rev. Arthur Westneat. Their oldest son, Arthur, is riding horseback. Rev. Westneat, a former pastor of the Baptist Church of Hudson, and his
family, were spending their summer vacation time visiting with John Abner and Julia Robinson. Photo courtesy of the Parker/Robinson family and now a part of the Historical Society Collection.

Visiting the Amazing Natures Classroom

submitted by Presentation of Mary Academy, Hudson
For many years, Presentation of Mary Academy has given its students the opportunity to attend Natures Classroom during
the fifth grade. Natures Classroom offers a unique educational experience for students and their teachers. The common
goals that are integrated throughout the experience are for the student to improve their self-concept, to work together with
others and recognize that the community is comprised of individuals with their own individual needs and uniqueness.
This year, Mrs. Tooheys and Mr. Desaulniers classes had a blast! One student was asked what they learned while living
and working with the other students. I learned when you work together, you can do amazing things!

Hudson Community Television

Hudson residents are invited to come out and tour YOUR new
local access television center.

Hudson Community Television is holding an open house this Sunday, November 1, from 1pm to 5pm. The center is located in the lower level of the North Barn at Benson Park. HCTV is a free resource provided by the Town of
Hudson that gives local residents the opportunity to produce television programs that then run on cable television and the Internet. Many of your neighbors are already producing shows with topics ranging from cooking to
exercise, from politics to sports. If you have an idea for show you'd like to produce stop by the event where you'll be able to chat with HCTV staff and volunteers. Tours of the center, television studio, and mobile production
truck will take place along with hands-on demos of cameras, microphones, lights, and the control room. At 2pm we will be dedicating the television studio to Coleman Kelly, a long time supporter and advocate of local access
television in Hudson. Whether you want to be in front of or behind the camera, we have volunteer opportunities for you! Stop by the Hudson Community Television Open House this Sunday and explore all of the FREE
resources available.

The Word Around Town...

Letters to our Editor

Area Boy Scouts to Gather Food on Nov. 14

In southern New Hampshire, local food pantries feel the economic strain
as they receive more calls and visitors each month. The area Cub Scout
Packs and Boy Scout Troops are helping again this year to meet that need.
On Saturday, Nov. 7, Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, Venture Scouts and
Explorers will hit the streets to deliver tens of thousands of door hangers to
residences across the Nashua area.
One week later, on Saturday, Nov. 14, Scouts will retrieve the bags filled
with non-perishable goods for distribution to local pantries.
We seem to have touched upon a formula that makes it easy for people
to give, and the residents of our communities have always been generous,
said Jack Gaylord, District Director of Arrowhead District of the Daniel
Webster Council, Boy Scouts of America. Our Scouts are proud to be able
to help our local citizens.
This time of year, pantries often see their lowest food reserves, yet an
increase in need, said Gaylord. One of many Scout service projects,
Scouting for Food brings youth an awareness of their communities needs,
and also demonstrates the astounding support our neighbors provide one
another. Some pantries tell us this single food drive keeps their shelves
stocked for over four months. To think that one-third of the food helping
local families comes through the hands of Scouts is a remarkable testament
to Scoutings importance.
With so many varieties of canned foods in todays supermarkets, choosing
what to donate can be a difficult decision. Dieticians suggest the following
items to be good contributions in the perfect Scouting for Food bag:
2 cans hearty soup, stew or chili
1 can fruit and 1 can 100% fruit juice
2 cans tuna, chicken or salmon
1 can vegetables
1 can tomato or pasta sauce (plastic bottle)
1 canned meal
1 can beans
1 box of pasta
The Scouts want to remind those donating to put their bags out Friday
night, or before 8 a.m. on Saturday the 14th. The little Cub Scouts get
really excited when they see a bag of food on the porch or front steps of a

house. If you can make sure the bags are out, well do our part to get them
to those that need them.
If you find that your bag was somehow missed, please bring it to your
local church, food bank, or grocery store. They all accept donations of food
and will get it to the folks that need it.
Yes, Scouting is strong in the HLN area! To join please go to www.
BeAScout.org or visit the website of the Daniel Webster Council, Boy Scouts
of America at www.nhscouting.org.

Are Veterans Really being Cared

for and about?
Two weeks ago I began thinking more about veterans than I usually
do, because Veterans Day is coming again so soon, but also because Im
becoming aware that all the hype and public relations we read, see, and hear
about how our veterans are so important to give them the best that can be
given and done for them; is not always true. In my first part of this Opinion
Offering, I referred to the 14 NFL Teams that are paid by the Department of
Defense to produce on-field half-time events to honor veterans and I asked
why the Department of Defense has to pay anyone to do that; especially the
14 millionaire NFL team owners.
Then last Thursday I received an email alert from Retired Army General
John K. Singlaub that disabled veterans are being evicted from where they
live. (Go to info@saluteheroesproject.org). The report/alert goes on to
explain that the federal government and the VA still has more than 370,000
pending disability claims; that those 370,000-plus veterans continue to wait
for disability benefits claims approvals and while they wait, they cant pay
their rents and bills and eat. Im hoping that whomever reads that, that it
has an impact on them equal to being run over by a 747 just landing and
that therell be a real true outrage felt everywhere. That additional example
is not the end of how our veterans and especially disabled veterans are really
being treated as opposed to all the public relations messages we see on TV or
read about, even locally. Sure there are local efforts to care for and support
veterans, especially those who are disabled, but there are many actual realworld examples where even locally; veterans are being ignored and even
disregarded, including disabled veterans. I know from
first-hand experience with five Hudson area businesses
and even a veterans organization that disabled veterans
are disregarded in Hudson, but to be truthful I wasnt
shocked at all, saddened yes, but not shocked. And
those six examples arent even ashamed of themselves.
Im going to close this second part with an example
of how veterans are disregarded, describing a Nashua
area Vietnam Veteran who sustained combat injuries
and PTSD, in later years was diagnosed with Acquired
MS from the constant exposure to Agent Orange; that
he then had to file a lawsuit against the VA to force
them to pay for his health care. He won his lawsuit
but why does a disabled veteran have to beg and file a
lawsuit to have our government pay for his health care,
why?
Part 3 will follow around Veterans Day.

Benson Parks Fundraising Event

a Huge Success
The Friends of Benson Park Inc. (FoBPI) would like to send out a big
thank you to all that attended our spaghetti supper. A special thanks to the
Granite State clowns for donating their time and entertaining the adults and
children also Cindy our face painter.
Also thank you to all of those that volunteered at our event and brought
raffle items or desserts. There are just too many to mention names, but you
all know who you are and we do also. I also personally like to thank the
FoBPI board members that donated a lot of the supplies needed to make this
event a positive one.
We need also to recognize the businesses that continue to help us with our
events. Their generous contributions helped us make this a profitable event.
To the following businesses who donated goods and services : Benson
Bakery, Northside Restaurant, T-Bones, Cookies Chuck Wagon, Joseph
Labrie Plumbing and Heating Service, Showtime Computers, Gate City
Plumbing! Please support them when you can.
It was another huge success for us and will help us continue our work on
the museum. Over the winter we anticipate the gift shop to be completed
before we open in the spring. Our goal is to have the gift shop complete
with the exception of utilities. We are also planning on having most of the
outside of the barn done next year before the store closes. Please keep in
mind that 100 percent of all funds received go to the operation and building
of the museum and that there are no tax dollars being spent on this building.

Obliviously Sailing into Danger

As a former naval officer who was an officer of the deck underway,
navigator, and meteorology officer, and on track for ship command, I am
appalled by the decision of the Captain of the El Faro container ship to head
into a ferocious storm at sea.
The Captain departed Jacksonville, Fla., on Sept. 29, 2015, on a
southeasterly course for San Juan, Puerto Rico. This course took the ship on
a track near the Bahama Islands and straight into the storm. At the time of
sailing the storm was designated a tropical storm with winds of around 45
or 50 knots and seas running about 20 or 25 feet. Soon after the ship left
port the storm intensified to hurricane strength, and the National Hurricane
Center issued a hurricane warning, which the El Faro should have received,
forecasting winds of 125 knots and seas of 40 to 50 feet.
Apparently, the ship lost propulsion, which I assume occurred within
the hurricane due to the pounding of the ship and probable flooding. The
ship would then be in the trough of the waves, and with a top heavy load of
containers, it could have rolled over and sank.
The shipping company had a responsibility to ensure the ships Captain
was aware of the potential danger. If the shipping company provided any
coercion or threatened the Captain if he refused to go to sea, the owners of
the shipping company could have criminal liability for the sinking of the
ship. In any case, the Captain, who was hired by the shipping company; and
owners of the vessel, are responsible for the safety of the ship and crew.

HCTV Open House

Welcomes You
Hudson residents are invited to come out and tour your new local access
television center. Hudson Community Television is holding an open house
this Sunday, Nov. 1, from 1 to 5 p.m. The center is located in the lower
level of the North Barn at Benson Park. HCTV is a free resource provided
by the Town of Hudson that gives local residents the opportunity to produce
television programs that then run on cable television and the Internet.
Many of your neighbors are already producing shows with topics ranging
from cooking to exercise, from politics to sports. If you have an idea for
show youd like to produce stop by the event where youll be able to chat
with HCTV staff and volunteers. Tours of the center, television studio,
and mobile production truck will take place along with hands-on demos of
cameras, microphones, lights, and the control room. At 2 p.m. we will be
dedicating the television studio to Coleman Kelly, a long-time supporter
and advocate of local access television in Hudson. Whether you want to be
in front of or behind the camera, we have volunteer opportunities for you!
Stop by the Hudson Community Television Open House this Sunday and
explore all of the free resources available.
Michael OKeefe, Chairman, Hudson Cable Committee

Litchfield Road must be Made Safe

for Walkers
The last couple years as official taxi driver to my teenage son Ive been
driving on Pinecrest and Talent Roads frequently. People walk, bike,
scooter, and skateboard on these roads frequently. I frequently see kids
skateboarding in the middle of the road. Today on Pinecrest a woman
was walking behind a stroller in the middle of the road because there is
no sidewalk. Putting sidewalks in would help people have better access
to Albuquerque for exercise and for walking their dogs. Skateboarders,
scooters, bikers and people pushing strollers would have a safe space to be
on. I worry every time I see someone in the road and a car is coming around
the corner. I worry that they will not be seen.
Last winter I saw kids walking to Campbell High every day down Talent
Road with huge snow piles on the sides of the roads so they had to walk
in the middle of the road. There must be some sort of regulations around
having areas where kids are required to walk and providing a safe space for
them. There is no crosswalk going across Albuquerque either.
There should be crosswalks all along Albuquerque, so people can get to
the bike path safely. I contacted the selectmen and Mr. Perry responded.
He said that a preliminary cost to come up with a plan would be $13,000
for each road. The actual cost of finishing the sidewalk on Pinecrest would
be between $130,000 and $200,000. Crosswalks across Albuquerque would
be $2,500 each as they have to be ADA approved. They would have to have
special Braille plaques. So that kind of money seems like a lot.
I wonder if there is a way to investigate a plan that would be more
reasonably priced. Maybe the road agent could investigate a grant as he did
for completing Albuquerque. Maybe it could be done in segments like the
road paving is. After I got the response from Mr. Perry I started thinking it
just wasnt do-able. Then I stopped to let the woman with the stroller cross
Pinecrest and went around her coming back the other way.
I feel like we need streets that are safe and accessible for walkers. This is
a family town. I dont want to see anyone get hurt because we are putting
saving money before safety. I do notice that recreation projects seem
to get funded every year and that may be because they are doing things
incrementally.
If you feel like I do, that we need sidewalks to create safety on Pinecrest
and Talent Roads, and/or if you would like to see crosswalks, especially
near Campbell High then please email me. I set up an email address:
pinecrestandtalent@gmail.com. According to Mr. Perry I need 25 signatures
to be able to ask the town manager to create a warrant article for voting in
March. If you are interested in signing the petition please email me.

the highway guys want to add

Community Service Day of Raking

by AHS Students
submitted by Alvirne High School
On Veterans Day, Wednesday, Nov. 11, Alvirne
High School will hold its annual community
service raking day. The students of Alvirne High
School will provide their services to those senior
citizens in the community, along with families in
need of some help with their yard clean up. The
fall leaves should be just about all down by the
11th, and we will come to your house and clean
up your leaves. If you need the leaves bagged, we

would ask that you provide the bags for us. If you
have a place on your property to put the leaves,
we will be glad to add to your compost pile.
If you are interested in taking advantage of this
service, contact Scott Szuksta through e-mail at
sszuksta@sau81.org or by leaving a message at
886-1260 extension 2656. Leave your name,
address and a phone number so we can make
sure we take care of you.

Learn about Respect

by Len Lathrop
Its that time of the year when we
all have started to heat our homes,
put pumpkins on the door steps, and
turn our thoughts to the upcoming
holidays.
On the radio the other day I heard
the words sung by Bill Withers,
Somebody to lean on when youre
not strong. The songs message
prompted me that it is time to remind
the community that the Hudson
Fish and Game Club has put plans
together for this years Thanksgiving
dinners.
For the past several years, the
Hudson Fish and Game, along with
the Karen Knox Family, has provided
1,400 meals to those who are not
strong or who are alone. Meals are delivered
or folks can come to the fish and game club on
Pine Road to enjoy their meals.
While my group volunteers to carve, peel,
mash, serve and clean up, it is always tough
getting enough turkeys and potatoes. If you can
help in any way --donate a pie, a turkey or a
bag of potatoes-- it would be much appreciated.
Money is also useful; checks can be made out
to Hudson Fish and Game and dropped off or
mailed to them to 53 Pine Road, Hudson, NH
03051.
For more information you can call Karen

Get Your Vehicle Ready for Fall with These Tips

(BPT) - Families across the country have returned from their
carefree summer road trips and are already back to the grind of daily
school commutes. With such a heavy reliance on the family vehicle,
fall car care should be at the top of every drivers fall priority list.
Americans hold on to their vehicles longer than ever before, keeping the same car for an average of more than seven years, according
to a recent national study. With motorists racking up thousands of
miles to a cars odometer each year, the vehicle takes on wear and
tear simply from normal usage. Whether your car is brand new or
a seasoned veteran of the road, its vital to properly maintain your
vehicle so it can remain dependable while transporting your most
precious cargo.
Completing a simple seasonal vehicle checkup this fall can mean
the difference between a well-running and reliable vehicle versus
spending excessive time and money to fix avoidable and preventable
issues.
Here are a few simple tips to help you arrive safely at your destination:

Always be prepared:
Pack an emergency kit and keep it on hand, before you end
up needing it. Essential items to have easily accessible in your
vehicle include water bottles, a cell phone charger, a spare tire
that is properly inflated, an air pressure gauge and a first aid
kit.
Adding the name and number of your nearest Goodyear
Auto Service Center to your contacts in your cell phone can
help put you in control in the event of a vehicle breakdown.

Steer clear of sharp objects:

Avoid sharp objects on the roads as much as possible.
Objects like bolts, nails, stones and other hazardous items
cause punctures resulting in flat tires. Next time you have a flat
tire, bring your vehicle to a company owned Goodyear Auto
Service Center that now offer free flat tire repairs for most cars.
Visit www.goodyearautoservice.com to find the nearest Goodyear Auto Service Center for complete details.
Under pressure:
As the temperatures change, so does tire pressure. Proper
tire inflation is essential for automotive safety and significant
cost savings including better fuel mileage. Tires should be inflated to the vehicle manufacturers recommendations printed
on the vehicle door placard or in the owners manual.
Gain traction:
Drivers should check their vehicles tread before embarking on a fall drive to ensure proper traction. The simple penny
test is an easy indicator to see if your tread is low. Insert the
penny into the tread, and if you can see the top of Lincolns
head, you need to start looking to new tires. For those in need
of new tires, consider an all-season tire such as the Assurance
TripleTred All-Season, a premium tire featuring three unique
tread zones providing motorists with confident handling in any
weather condition.
Steer clear of fallen leaves:
Fallen leaves are a sure sign of autumn, but they can also
pose a risk to drivers by creating potentially dangerous driving
conditions. Leaves that accumulate can become wet and turn
the road into slippery surface for drivers to navigate.

all signals your blades have reached the end of their lifespan. Ninety
percent of your driving decisions are based on vision, so make sure
you replace your cars wiper blades if they are not up to standards.

Check your oil:

Motor oil is essential to your engine, and keeps your vehicle running as smooth as possible while fighting the excessive heat and friction that can do substantial damage if the engine is left unlubricated.
Every vehicle is different and each manufacturer requires the oil to
be changed at different intervals or mileage points, so check your
owners manual for your vehicles maintenance schedule.

Enjoy the fresh air:

Though you may be reveling in the cool, crisp fall air, your car
could be choking on the pollen, dust and sand it sucked in throughout the summer months. Replacing your air filter improves airflow to
the engine and increases engine performance.
For more helpful car care advice or information on tires for cars,
light trucks, SUVs and more, visit your local Goodyear retailer or go
online to www.Goodyear.com.

Visibility is key:
Inspect your wiper blades and look out for cracks, tears and cuts
on the blades or streaks left behind on your windshield, which are

Simple Ways to Increase Energy Efficiency and Savings

(MS) Fall and winter can be tough on your home
and your wallet. As temperatures drop, chances are your
furnace will be working overtime. This results in two
things greater energy consumption and higher heating
bills. In fact, costs associated with heating and cooling
a home year-round typically comprise two-thirds of the
average energy bill.
Try these easy DIY projects to help cut down on energy loss and expenses:
1. Replace worn weather-stripping around doors and
windows. Worn weather-stripping can create drafts
and let heated air out, stressing your furnace and
compromising your comfort. Replacing it takes little
time and is a low-cost, high-impact solution.
2. Top up or replace old insulation in your attic.
A poorly insulated attic is a primary source of energy loss. Also, over time, some types of insulation
can settle and compact, allowing heat to escape
through gaps. Experts recommend topping up
or replacing attic insulation with a dimensionally stable batt insulation like Roxul

Comfortbatt. Aim for an R-value of at least

R-50 or a depth of roughly 16 inches.
3. Insulate basement headers and walls.
Uninsulated basement headers are common,
especially in older homes. They can act as
a gateway for heated air to escape. Fixing
the problem is fast and easy. Simply cut
Comfortbatt mineral wool insulation to fit
the cavity and compress into place. Doing
this throughout your basement will prevent
heat loss and can potentially save hundreds
of dollars each year.
4. Caulk around windows. Cracks and
crevices are a source of heat loss. They can
also be an entry point for water/moisture, as
well as for unwelcome insects. Preventative
maintenance, such as caulking, can improve
energy efficiency and prevent costly repairs.
5. Change your furnace filter. Make it a
point to check your furnace filter monthly,
always changing it when its dirty. This will improve the

performance and efficiency of your furnace, saving you

money.

Lesser-known Information about Halloween

Home
Improvement

Witches once were held in high regard.

Pumpkins actually are a fruit, a type of squash that is a member of the gourd
family. Its cousins include cucumbers, melons, and other squashes.
Trick-or-treating may have originated with a European custom called souling. On All Souls Day, early Christians would go door-to-door begging for soul
cakes, which were square pieces of bread with currants. The more cakes a
person received, the more prayers he or she would promise to the dead relatives
of the cake donors.
Witches may have rubbed a sacred ointment made with a hallucinogenic
herb onto their skin. This gave them a feeling of flying, and if they had been
fasting, they felt even giddier. Many witches rode on horseback, but those who
were poor traveled on foot and carried a broom to launch themselves over
streams.
One-quarter of all the candy sold each year is purchased around Halloween. Halloween candy sales in the United States average about $2 billion
annually.
Some people still celebrate the ancient Celtic customs of Samhain. Many
followers of various pagan religions, such as the Druids and Wiccans, observe
this day as a religious festival and a memorial day for their deceased friends. It
also is a night to practice various forms of divination.
The owl is a popular Halloween symbol. In Medieval Europe, owls were
thought to be witches.
The first-known mention of trick-or-treating
was found in print in 1927 in Blackie, Alberta,
Canada.
Ireland is believed by many to be the birthplace of Halloween.
Both Salem, Massachusetts, and Anoka, Minnesota, are the self-proclaimed Halloween capitals
of the world.
Pumpkins are now carved and displayed
as Halloween decorations. Orange is a color of
strength and symbolic of the harvest. The largest
pumpkin ever grown was more than 1,600 pounds.
It was grown by Joe Jutras of North Scituate, RI.
Halloween is a mysterious time, born of various
10% OFF First Time Customers (expires 8/31/15) festivals, rituals and symbolism. Over several centuries, the celebration has evolved into a holiday
enjoyed by millions, each in their own different
ways.

Halloween is a day of costumes, hijinks and an often unhealthy helping of

sugary sweets. Many celebrants know that Halloween evolved from ancient
Celtic festivals, such as Samhain, which marked the end of the harvest season
and the dawn of winter. Celts were no longer spending long days in the pastures,
and so they gathered in their homes to tell stories and wait out the winter. When
Christianity spread, Halloween became intertwined with a feast day dedicated
to the saints and deceased loved ones. All Hallows Even, eventually got shortened to Halloween, and then Halloween.
Though certain parts of Halloween history are well-known, there are many
additional interesting facts about this beloved holiday that are less widely
known. The following are some lesser known Halloween tidbits, courtesy of the
websites, The Thought & Expression Company and Random History, as well as
The Halloween Handbook (Citadel Press) by Ed Morrow.
The first jack-o-lanterns were
made from turnips and beets. Pumpkins were used after Halloween was
brought to North America.
The word witch is thought to
come from the Olde English word
wicce, meaning wise woman.

Heat your Home Without Wasting Energy this Season

purchase a door stopper to plug the gap or you can
use a towel at the base to block the opening. Try to
close off the bottom of any exterior door, particularly the doors you seldom use.

its masonry heaters and its commitment to sustainability at
Tulikivi.us.
Close the drafts
One of the best ways to improve your energy efficiency
is to reduce your energy waste. Window cracks and door
drafts allow warm air to escape, which means youre leaking both energy and money.
Seal those areas by using caulk to shore up any drafty
windows and put plastic wrap over the window surface

before the New Year. Also, contractors are busiest during the warmer months their business cools as the weather does.
Facing tight timelines and tighter budgets, homeowners often need to prioritize
their projects. Installing hardwood floors often provides a high
return on investment, both from
a quantitative (home value) and
qualitative (pride in ownership)
standpoint.
No matter what a homeowner
chooses to do during the fall
home improvement season, it will
help reduce cabin fever during the
winter months.

Energy efficiency is top of mind

With colder weather on the horizon, homeowners shudder at the thought of
higher heating costs. They upgrade windows, layer in more insulation, service or
replace old furnaces and, in some cases, do all of the above.
The weather is nice
Home improvement projects
can be hard and even grueling
work, particularly for DIYers.
Lower temperatures and humidity
create a much more comfortable
environment for getting things
done (and rhetorically keeping
your cool when obstacles inevitably arrive).

Fall: The Best Season for Home Improvement

(BPT) - The rituals of fall include sending kids back to school, raking leaves and
cheering on the hometown football team. In addition, a new fall tradition has
emerged for Americas nearly 74 million homeowners - home improvement.
This fall promises to be particularly popular for home projects. Lower gas prices are boosting peoples discretionary income and Metrostudys latest Residential
Remodeling Index points to a continued rise in activity.
Like many trends, there isnt one particular reason fall has emerged as a popular time for home improvement, several factors play a role.

Heat more efficiently

A crackling fire makes for more than just a pleasurable experience; it can also be an energy-efficient heating source. Fireplaces from Tulikivi help heat your home
long after the fire goes out. Tulikivi fireplaces are built from
soapstone, which has better thermal conductivity compared to other materials because of its dense structure and
mineral composition.
For homeowners, this means once you start a fire in
your fireplace, the soapstone will store heat in its thermal
mass, allowing a two-hour burn to radiate heat for up to
24 hours. This lets you enjoy the clean, comfortable, costsaving warmth without using additional energy.
You can learn more about Tulikivi, the recycled materials

Make sure your other heating options

are running efficiently
When youre not using your fireplace, its good
to know your backup heating options are operating efficiently. Have your furnace inspected
routinely and make sure you change the
filter each month. You should also invest
in a smart thermostat. This technology
allows you to set the temperature of your
home for different times of the day so
you can lower it when youre sleeping
or away. The calendar option means you
can program your homes temperatures
ensuring you never waste energy.
Although its still nice outside, colder
temperatures are on their way. That
doesnt mean you have to sacrifice your
green lifestyle when you cheeks turn
red. By using the tips above, youll still
enjoy the same warmth and comfort
without the additional environmental
impact. To learn more about Tulikivi,
visit Tulikivi.us or find them on Facebook and Twitter.

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

(BPT) - If youre interested in living a greener lifestyle,

perhaps youre already trying to reduce your energy
usage as much as possible. Maybe you ride your bike to
work, unplug your electronics when theyre not in use,
use fans during warm weather and avoid wasting water.
Saving energy can get more difficult, however, when
the seasons change and colder weather sets in. Heat
is a primary source of energy usage. In fact, research
from Tulikivi, the worlds largest manufacturer of heatretaining fireplaces, shows that 52 percent of a homes
annual energy consumption is allocated to heat.
Now is the time to think about reducing your energy
usage during the winter. Here are some ideas that will
help you enjoy a warm, cozy home while saving both
money and energy.

Thumbs down to the HSB

for proposing a budget increase
of $200 for the average home,
to pay for building repairs and
technology/computers. Correct
me if Im wrong, dont we have a school capital
reserve fund for new technology, a surplus for
building repairs? The town has one and they use
it. Why is the HSB reluctant to tell the taxpayer
the amounts in these funds, if they have them?
If they do not isnt that irresponsible? The HSB
needs these funds if repairs to school buildings
cannot wait and if the school district gets sued.
Thumbs down to the HSB for proposed
budget increase of $200, average home. That
doesnt even include the proposed salary/benefit
increases. Why did the school neglect to talk
to the town about their proposed budget and
salary/benefit increases? Isnt that irresponsible
and inconsiderate? The town will also have
their proposed budget and their salary/benefit
increases. This could total $260-500 for the
average home. Taxes go up every year now,
because people dont vote. Its a shame. Where
are Robin Hood and the voters? Vote-stop the
tax increase trend. Look at your tax bills. Ask
questions, get involved.

Thumbs up to the volunteers of the Alvirne

Broncos Booster Club. Although most of them
no longer have students in the high school
they remain knowing the great value of this
organization and the service it provides our young

Thumbs down Hillary Clinton. Benghazi

reminder. This is how dumb she thinks you are.
She lied and said a video was the cause of the
violence, told her daughter that it was terrorism.
She received hundreds of emails from the
Ambassador requesting extra security, the attack
was on 9/11. But did nothing. When troops
wanted to go in and save them, she told them to
stand down. Then she claims she fell and hurt her
head so she could avoid answering any questions
for weeks. Watch videos of Amb. Stevens being
murdered, watching him die, because that is what
she did. You want that type of sociopath to be our
President? Look it up, its all true.
Thumbs up to the Benghazi hearings. They
proved that Clinton knew it was terrorism on 9/11,
and that she blatantly made up a lame lie about
a video instead of admitting they didnt secure
our embassy on 9/11. Speaks volumes about our
government. They will do or say anything that
protects their agenda, not ours.
Thumbs down to the goofy advertisement for
Eversource. Are we supposed to be able to read
squares instead of letters?
Thumbs down to the misguided shopper that
over spent her food bill by $65. Now-a-days

anyone who walks into a food store expecting

an automatic savings entitlement deserves to
spend more. We must shop around and compare
and save. I agree with the majority of thumbs
shoppers.
Thumbs up to the shopping genius that spent
$65 more at Market Baskets competitors. There
is one big difference between us, dearie ... my
husband and I have a food budget and you appear
to be on an unlimited budget and are very lazy
and capable of making poor decisions. Good
luck, my dear, you are going to need it!

Rodgers Library
to Open on Sundays
by Doug Robinson
The Trustees of the Rodgers Library have
approved the library to be open, on a trial
basis, between the months of mid-January
2016 through the end of April.
Discussion held by the trustees centered
on last years efforts to be open on Sunday
and the fact
that few people
attended the library
on those Sundays.
The library is
open to the public
65 hours a week.
FY15 saw 96,897
visits to the library,

say that Our patrons downloaded over

the library opened for a trial period

from January through May, in response to
requests from those who have difficulty
visiting us, continued Matthews. The
trial was hampered by inclement weather
but still attracted an average of 80 visitors
on Sunday afternoons.
When Trustee
Linda Kipnes
commented that
even if (we are)

we will find the

with regards
to staffing the
library on Sunday,
fellow Trustee
Arlene Creeden
commented that the

Director
Matthews stated,
We need an extra
person.
Currently, the
library has nine full
timers and 21 parttime employees on
staff.
The vote passed by a 3 to 2 margin
to have the library open on Sunday,
beginning in January, as a test.

MVA Closes Portions

of Lowell Road
submitted by Hudson Police Department
On Oct. 22, at about 3:45 p.m.,
members of the Hudson Police and Fire
departments responded to the area of
Lowell Road by Haffners Gas Station
for a motor vehicle accident.
Upon the officers arrival, they
determined that Amy Gagnon,
36, of Hudson, who was
operating a 2014 Mazda CX9,
was traveling north on Lowell
Road and making a left turn into
the Haffners Gas Station. At the
same time, Bryan Jette, 57, of
Nashua, was operating a 1996
Yamaha motorcycle and traveling
south on Lowell Road near
Haffners. Gagnon crossed into
Jettes travel lane and the two
vehicles collided. Subsequently,
Jette was transported by the
Hudson Fire Department EMTs
to Southern NH Medical Center
for minor non-life threatening
injuries.
Gagnon was wearing a seat
belt, and she was the lone
occupant of the vehicle. There
was no airbag deployment
and she was not injured. Jette
was the lone occupant of the
motorcycle, and, at his time,
it is unclear whether Jette was
wearing a helmet.

Denise Freeman provided the group picture of the senior soccer
players and their families before the last home game Wednesday
afternoon when the Cougar men played Conant High School,
gaining a 3-5 win. On Friday, Oct. 23, the bus took the boys to
Monadnock and returned the team with a win, 3-0, which took the
Cougars record to 13 wins and three losses.
Being seeded number 5 in NHIAA Division 3 tournament play,
the Cougars had a first-round bye and were scheduled to play the
number 12-seeded team, Mascenic, in Litchfield on Thursday, the
29th. While this edition heads to the printer Wednesday at 5 p.m.,
our sports reporters will be watching the Thursday game for you,
with the hope that the Cougars can win and move on to play the
winner of the Belmont versus Newfound game on Saturday, either
at Campbell or Belmont (game is played at the home of the higher
seed). Semi-final games will be played at Laconia High School
on Nov. 4, and the state championship will be played Nov. 7 at
Southern NH University.

The Hudson-Litchfield third-grade Bears couldnt quite put
the cherry on top of what was a great season, as they lost to a
very tough Pelham team 14-0 at Nashua North High School
on Sunday in the Super Bowl, a one-day single-elimination
tournament that ends the third-grade season each year.
The top-seeded and undefeated Bears got a bye in the first
round, before taking care of both
Manchester East (21-7) and Windham
(31-12) to reach the championship
game. Meanwhile, the third-seeded
PC/ Laptop Repair
Pelham team cruised past Salem
and Nashua to bring them to the
& Diagnosis
rematch with the Bears. The Bears
beat Pelham 19-17 in the first game
Virus Removal
of the season, but Pelham did not
allow a point the rest of the season.
The rematch seemed inevitable in
Hard Drive Data
the week leading up to the game, as
Recovery
these were clearly the two best teams
in the state.
Pelham took the opening kickoff
Highly Trained

and marched steadily down the field for an opening-drive

touchdown, and the extra point made the score 7-0. The
Bears offense struggled early, as Pelham successfully focused
on stopping All-World running back Camren Flash Dillon,
who was the only player to score on Pelham all year. A series
of stalled drives lead to halftime, with the score still 7-0.
Charlie Chaz Crawford took the second-half kickoff all
the way back to the Pelham 30-yard-line, but the very fast
and physical Pelham defense was able to withstand the threat
again. The Bears great defense continued to hold Pelhams
offense in check, however, but the last couple of Bears drives
were also unsuccessful. Pelham put together a long drive late
in the game to clinch the victory.
Head Coach Jeff Conrow said We are proud of our body
of work through the undefeated regular season. The sting of
a loss in the end-of-year Super Bowl Jamboree will serve as a
benchmark for us to improve but will not take away from our
major accomplishment of an unbeaten real football season.
This is a special group of athletes that we can all be proud of
both on and off the field.
The future is bright for this group as they take a break and
prepare for whatever winter sports they may be playing.

What is it?
Since no one took a guess about the What is It? picture
in last weeks edition, maybe a hint would be helpful. Prior
to the automobile, it was a mainstay in the transportation

Bronco Win Secures Home Playoff Game

submitted by Frank Rosier

The Alvirne girls Soccer team
went wire-to-wire against Concord
on senior night to score a 2-0
victory and a date with Exeter in
the upcoming playoffs. There was
a threat of rain with a few drops
before game time, and this was
the only blemish on an otherwise
perfect night for the Lady Broncos.
Before the game the team
celebrated their seniors with
purple tie dye shirts made special
for them by their underclassmen.
They donned these during warmups and the underclassmen wore
shirts extolling their love for their
seniors. The celebration continued
as all the seniors were called out
and were greeted by their families
and posed for pictures to honor

Sammi Giannelli makes a leaping save against Concord.

Seniors and coach enjoy a fun moment at senior night.

their last regular season

home game of their high
school careers. The moment
was especially emotional for these seven
seniors as most of them have been playing
together for the better part of 10 years.
Seniors include Hanna Croce, Sammi
Giannelli, Kayla Juliano, Danielle Ross,
Erin Ruigrok and captains Erin Rosier and
Tana Tufts. After the emotional ceremony
the large crowd in attendance was treated
to a stirring rendition of the national
anthem sung by junior midfielder, Jillian
Houle. Her performance energized the
crowd and her mates as they raced onto
the field.
Alvirne started out fast and controlled
