Theres a New Cadet
Commander at Alvirne
The senior cadets assemble during the change of command ceremony at Alvirne.
by Len Lathrop
While the command change
seems simple, when you consider
what the speakers said, their
speeches put many things into
perspective from the past year and
into the next school year.
In the Steckevicz gymnasium, the
cadets of Alvirne JROTC watched
and listened as the guidons, flags for
marking or signaling, were passed.
This is a tradition that dates back
centuries and now is a standard in
todays military.
In military organizations, the
practice of carrying colors, standards
or guidons, both to act as a rallying
point for troops and to mark the
location of the commander, is
thought to have originated in ancient
Egypt some 5,000 years ago. The
Roman Empire also made battle
standards a part of their vast armies.
It was formalized in the armies of
Europe in the High Middle Ages,
with standards being emblazoned
with the commanders coat of arms.
Serving as narrator was Cadet
Lt. Colonel Ben Desrochers, who
explained to the assembled cadets
and parents attending the ceremony,
that First Cadet Lt. Colonel Jess
Maucieri will relinquish command
Incoming Group Commander Catie Donahue accepts the guidon
and cadet Jillian Robicheau will take
command of the Logistics squadron.
Following that, Cadet Lt. Colonel
Isabelle Russell will hand the
command of the operations squadron to Cadet
Nicholas Spargo.
After brief remarks, Lt. Cadet Colonel Noah
Bellomo relinquished command of the Alvirne
Cadet Group to Cadet Catie Donahue under the
watchful eye of Lt. Colonel Christian Cheetham
serving as presiding officer.

a journey of ups and downs.
Final speech as Group Commander
by Noah Bellomo
Going into the 2016-2017 school year the
senior staff knew that this year would not only
be a busy year but a challenging one. We
knew that we were here to set precedents and
establish standards that we hope will live on.
Together we learned how to accomplish our
goals and strengthen our program to be its best.
This year has been a journey with unexpected
twists and turns, ups and downs. However
these are the very things that help us learn and
grow to become better students, leaders and
citizens

remember the memories, the lessons and the
friendships that we made. This was all made
possible by the hard work of you and your
classmates; however I would like to give my
sincerest thank you to my entire senior staff
for the countless hours they put into to every
event and activity we planned this year. I
would like to give a special thanks to Lt. Col.
Cheetham for being a teacher, a mentor,
but, more importantly, a role model.
Without the hard work of these people
it would be difficult to accomplish many
of our goals. I would like to offer my
thanks for a great year, your support and
unwavering dedication to this program,
which is like a family to so many of us.
As we pass command to the class of
2018 I wish them the best of luck in their
endeavors and continuing the work of
the class of 2017! Thank you!
Speech by incoming G.C.
Catie Donahue
I am extremely grateful to stand in
front of all of you today. This years
senior staff has done a tremendous
job in running the program and have
continuously gone above and beyond
what is asked of them, and I can only
aspire to experience that same level of
commitment from my fellow peers -- a
commitment that I am confident we can
achieve.
It is my goal for the upcoming school
year to adapt and expand upon all the
new changes that were made to the
organization this year as well as to
implement new changes and ideas
that will benefit the program and all of
you. These new changes are a topic
of excitement, and it is one of my top
priorities to ensure that they will lead to a fun
and successful school year as individual cadets.
I am eager to take on this responsibility as
your next group commander, and, although
I know I have some big shoes to fill, with the
help of my senior staff, I am more motivated
than ever to see this program reach its fullest
potential. Each and every one of you will play
a key role in the growth of the program, and
it will be because of your efforts that we will
reach the success we strive for.
Thank you for the hard work and dedication
you all have given and will continue to give. I
cannot wait to see what next year brings.

Community Comes Together
to Support One of their Own
Photos by David S. Morin
A little muscle flexing goes on as community supporters proudly display their Joshua Strong T-shirts.
Hundreds showed up at the spaghetti dinner to support Army Specialist Joshua Keller and his family.
The community came together last Friday, June 2, at the Hudson VFW for a spaghetti dinner to help
Army Specialist Joshua Keller and his family. The Kellers have faced tremendous medical expenses
following Joshua being shot in the neck by an accidental weapon discharge in Washington state on
Feb. 11.
The reason I am proud to be a member of this community is because when we need to band
together and show support to one of our own we do just that, said Selectman Angela Routsis. I
know the family felt your support and will continue to feel your support.
The fundraiser was pulled together with the assistance of the Hudson Police Department Relief
Association, Selectman Routsis and others in the community. According to Routsis, 357 people
turned out to support the Keller family; 65 pounds of pasta and 1,000 meatballs were served along
with 400 rolls and salad. In addition, four tables were covered with desserts and five tables filled by
raffle items, all donated by the community. Joshua is in now undergoing rehabilitation in a military
hospital in Massachusetts. The proceeds from this fundraiser will help his family to adapt their
Hudson home for him.
Guardians Carry Torch of Hope

Hudson Police officers carry the Flame of Hope down Derry Road.
by David S. Morin
For the last 20 years in June, members of the Hudson Police Department have laced up their
sneakers and run the five miles from the Londonderry town line on Derry Road to the Nashua border
at the Veterans Bridge.
Known as Guardians of the Flame, law enforcement members carry the Flame of Hope across
the state and into opening ceremonies at the local competition held on June 2 and 3 at the University
of New Hampshire.
There are more than 97,000 law enforcement members who carry the Flame of Hope annually.
The flame symbolizes courage and celebration of diversity uniting communities around the globe.
The Torch Run began in 1981 when Wichita, Kan., Police Chief Richard LaMunyon created it. He
thought the Torch Run would help law enforcement become active in the community and support
Special Olympics in Kansas. In 1983, Chief LaMunyon presented the program to the International
Association of Chiefs of Police. They decided to endorse Torch Run and became the founding law
enforcement organization. With the Chiefs Association support, LETR became the movements largest
public awareness and fundraising group for Special Olympics.
The portion the Hudson officers ran also included their peers from Salem to Nashua.

The Word Around Town...
Editors Note: There is never too much honor to give to those who served and
those who gave the ultimate sacrifice. What follows is the Memorial Day speech
offered by Dave Mayopoulos, the Commander of Hudson American Legion Post
48, in the abbreviated Memorial Day remembrance.
Honoring Those who Served our Country and
Those who Made the Ultimate Sacrifice
It is truly my honor to be speaking today at this Memorial Day
remembrance. Two hundred forty-two years ago, 65 men from this town,
from this common, started a march to what would become a battlefield in
Lexington and Concord Mass. More than a million service members have
died since those colonial soldiers took up arms to fight for independence
in 1775. Each was a loved one cherished by family and friends. Men with
lives, dreams and hopes for the future.
The observance of this day was born of compassion and empathy.
Mothers, daughters, sisters and wives tending the graves of their
Confederate soldiers in Columbus, Miss., on a spring day noticed close by
the graves of Union men, dusty and overgrown. These women understood
these soldiers too were cherished loved ones from towns far away so they
cleared the brush and mud from these graves and placed flowers by them.
Sixteen years later in 1882, the first official Memorial Day was observed.
This effort was not started by government, but by ordinary citizens with
compassion and the understanding that remembrance is important. Your
presence here today is proof that this fine American tradition lives on.
Army veteran and author, Charles M. Provine wrote these words:
It is the soldier not the reporter who has given us Freedom of the
press. It is the soldier not the poet who provides freedom of speech. It
is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the freedom to
demonstrate. It is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves the flag,
whose coffin is draped by the flag, who allows a protester to burn the flag.
Fifty years ago, two mothers from this town grieved. They knew each
other and so did their sons. High school friends Lenny Nute and Pete
Fletcher grew up together. One became a soldier and one a Marine. They
were both killed in Vietnam 50 years ago this year.
It is right that we gather and remember and be thankful that this
community, state and nation provided and still provides fine men and
women who serve in uniform. Because until the day comes, the day we
all hope for, that everlasting peace is upon us, there will be a need for such
service and sacrifices. And even then we should and will remember the men
and women who made it possible.
Dave Mayopoulos, Commander, American Legion Post 48, Hudson
Thank You does not Say Enough
On Friday June 2, from 5 to 9 p.m., at the VFW in Hudson we held a
Spaghetti Dinner for Army Specialist Joshua Keller.
We didnt know what to expect. Some family, friends and a good time is
all we really wanted so we could show support to Joshua and his family.
What we ended up with far exceeded my expectations.
I will never be able to express my gratitude enough to this community for
banding together and coming to support Joshua and his family.
We had 357 people in total come to the VFW during the four-hour
event. The family, friends and strangers who came together to show the
Keller family support was astounding. I know a lot of friendships got
rekindled that night and a lot of friendships were made that night. We even
had a few visitors from New York who made the trip to Hudson to support
Josh.
We ended up going through 65 pounds of pasta, 1,000 meatballs, 40 jars
of sauce, 400 rolls and most of the salad. Everything we have left will go to
the food pantry as a donation from Army Specialist Joshua Keller.
We had four tables full of dessert that was all donated by you, the
community. We had five tables of raffles that again were all donated by you,
the community.
Some of the Alvirne students came to support and promote the Joshua
Strong t-shirts for anyone that didnt already have them.
The Boy Scouts came to help during the event with cleanup of the

The volunteers that helped with planning, setup during the event and

would have been possible or run as smoothly as it did.
The food donations from companies were astounding. T-BONES,

Entenmanns.
There are so many people to thank and so much to say. I know the
family felt your support and will continue to feel your support
If I missed anyone or anything I apologize.
I am so overwhelmed by the generosity and thoughtfulness of this
community that there is so much to say and I do not know how to express
it all so I will end with this.
The reason I am proud to be a member of this community is because
when we need to band together and show support to one of our own we
do just that. We do not waiver, but we stand together and we support each
other. I am proud to live in Hudson and I thank every one of you for being
you and helping to bring a smile to someones face when they need it the
most.
Thank you always

Recalling the D-Day Invasion
at Normandy 73 Years ago
As June 6 approaches it is, as 73 years ago, rainy and stormy. Few of us
can understand what was in the minds of the quarter of a million men (and
a few women) who waited for the invasion, stormed ashore or served on
ships off the coast of Normandy. Yes, the movie loosely based on Ryans
book gave some account (from both sides) of the days event and Saving
Private Ryan gave a more graphic depiction, but the sheer horror of that
day cannot be shared.
I had the honor of hosting Sgt. Noel Dube of Pepperell at a NH KofC
dinner in Hudson many years ago. Sgt. Dube was the soldier who actually
blew a gaping hole in the Atlantic Wall at Omaha Beach. No, he was not
killed as the composite character in the film was. Sgt. Dube said he had
been given a Rosary by his mother (illustrated by another in the film) before
combat. He attributed surviving D-Day all the way to the Hurtegen Forest
without a wound to praying the Rosary in his landing craft as it approached
the hell that was on the beach. He was awarded a service medal for his
actions. Following the war he created a shrine on his property in Pepperell
as he promised he would during that long trek to the beach.
Whether Catholic or not, whether a believer or not, the courage,
steadfastness, devotion to duty in fighting National Socialism demonstrated
in the nearly 10,000 who lost their life that day (and the next few) must
be remember. We just recalled all who died in service to our country
this Memorial Day. Let us take at least a brief moment to remember 73
years ago the hell, the courage, the sacrifice of all those of The Greatest
Generation who began the land war to tear asunder the socialist threat to
civilization. One should also mention that as France was being invaded,
Rome was being cleared of remnants of Italian socialist Fascists and German
NAZIs. That is a feat unparrelled in history! Lets us remember!
Jordan Ulery, Hudson
We Didnt Vote for Whats Happening
I just read an e-mail about another major protest by citizens/voters
against Trump and his gang of thuggish goons in power that begins with
We didnt Vote for. There-in we find the heart of the message about
standing up against and protesting the actions of this billionaire-gone-mad
president, simply because he and his thugs want to do what they want to
do; not what needs to be done for all of us, not a handful of the powerful
elites who prop him up for their own benefits. This particular protest is
against his removing this country from Paris Clean Air Agreement that most
countries signed on to support and achieve the stated goals. So, what do we
as the citizens do about a president who is so destructive in so short a time?

Getting a College
Degree and Getting
into a Whole Lot
of Debt
I watched the One Love Manchester Benefit Concert
on Sunday and I was very impressed. The fact that
they didnt cancel it and all those people still showed
up after the London Bridge attacks was very brave and
admirable. I think its important to stand together and to
continue on with your everyday lives.
Wonder Woman was amazing by the way. If you
havent seen it yet, go. I went to the movies and there
were about an equal number of men and women there
from what I could speculate. Not gonna lie, I cried a
little bit at the end.
Now onto something Im 100 percent totally against:
raising the minimum wage. I know you may think
thats terrible of me because who can live off of $7.25
an hour? No one can live off of $7.25 an hour. Its
funny though because I know people who didnt go to
college and
work their way
up through their
high school job
and make more
money than
I do without
All About
ME
all the debt. I
think that they
did a very smart
thing. A lot
of jobs dont
actually require a college degree. I learned this when
I was applying to jobs. The ones that did require a
college degree also tend to require five or 10 years of
experience, which I obviously dont have. However,
youre less likely to get hired at certain jobs or certain
positions if you dont have one. I feel like they just dont
put a college degree as a requirement, so that justifies
them in paying you less.
$7.25 is meant for a high school student who is just
starting off in the workplace doing relatively simple and
easy labor. The rule of thumb is you get what you pay
for. You want to pay minimum wage to your employees
that means you are going to get minimum wage work.
Im not saying that thats a bad thing. Im just saying it
is what it is. I would be insulted if a person who bags
groceries made $15 an hour. It would be like a slap to
the face. I dont even make $15 an hour, and I have
a college degree. I cant name a single friend that I
graduated college with that makes over $15 an hour.
If they raise the minimum wage to $15 do you think
I would be making more than $15 an hour? I highly
doubt it. So I would then be making the same amount
as a grocery bagger at a more stressful job, plus I have
a ton of debt. That means the bagger actually makes
more money because they arent in tens of thousands of
dollars in debt like me.
I dont consider myself an activist, but I would launch
a full-blown crusade against raising minimum wage.
Other than me being super insulted and reminding me
that I fell into the biggest scam that this country has,
it might not be the most economically wise decision.
Small businesses might struggle with a pay raise that
significant. A lot of businesses might cut jobs in order to
stay afloat.
Im just speculating; Im not an economist. The
main thing is that I very rarely get personally insulted
in this day and age where everyone gets personally
insulted. However, when it comes to money, being
as materialistic and superficial as I am, um, yeah, I
would definitely be super offended if the minimum
wage increased to $15 an hour. What was the point of
going to college if Im going to make the same as a high
school dropout?
Kids, Ive said this before and I will say it again. Do
not go to college. It is the biggest waste of time and
from being in debt their whole life and struggling hard
to make ends meet, then writing this column would
have been totally worth it. Education is not the most
important thing. Hard work, experience and talent
are just as good if not better, in my opinion. A college
degree does not make your life easier; it makes it a lot
harder. If they ever raise the minimum wage to $15 a
hour, reap those benefits. Skip college and live your life
a lot easier than people like me who got scammed and
got a degree.

Hudson Memorial Baseball Ends Season with 10-2 Record

submitted by Kyle Precourt
The Hudson Memorial Baseball team had quite a season, ending with a 10-2
record. The team clinched the number 1 seed going into the playoffs. The Colts
were able to make it to the championship game after a 6 to 0 win over Woodbury
Middle School. In the championship game, Bedford Middle School got out to an
early lead and was able to hold on to it for the entire game, winning 11-1.
Even though the season came to an end with the loss, the team had one of the
best seasons in years. The Colts had 11 eighth graders that all contributed in a
positive way. Strong pitching performances from Jagger Forsyth, Jacob Hobart,
Thomas Tierney, Kody Hobart and Josh Macdonald kept the Colts in every game.

The bats of Kyle Boulanger, Evan Beals, Nick Jacques and Hayden Shattuck
allowed the team to put pressure on their opponents in the early innings. Sound
defense from Carlos Camaigo, Charlie Laporte, Aiden Tierney, Ethan Doran, Jake
Dufour helped the pitching staff get out of many innings. Overall, it was a solid
season for the boys. Good luck to the eighth graders moving on to AHS next year.

holding a 5 to 3 advantage, with only an inning to
go. The BG ladies dug deep and produced three runs,

quarterfinals play vs. BG. At press time, Bishop Guertin

the semi-finals.
In the sixth inning, the Lady Broncos looked poised
for the playoff win as AHS scored three runs, gaining a
two-run lead. According to AHS Coach Sarah Brisks
game reports, Liz DeRosa led off with a triple to left
center field, scoring on a single up the middle from
Ashley Silva. Farrah Cestrone followed up with another
single up the middle. Ultimately, both Silva and
Cestrone would cross home plate thanks to yet another
single up the middle, this time from Alicia Salvalzo.
The Alvirne offense combined for multiple hits
from both Nicole Teague and Cestrone, bolstered by a
triple from DeRosa. In all, RBIs were earned by Alicia
Salvalzo (2), Sara Siteman, Teague and Silva. Alvirnes
