from cancer. For
ten months they
have been planning
and executing their project.
Jillian Nangle, Chloe Provencher, Sophia Garas, Camdyn Levesque and Kristyn Rambeau have
diligently worked with assistance from their mentor, Joy Whitaker, a seventh grade ELA teacher at
Hudson Memorial School. They created a slide show that runs on a laptop with many happy pictures
of MacKenzie Lowe. They also researched cancer and made a fact board about this disease. Then
they began making blankets.
Silver awards can only be funded by family or money can be earned. The girls are prohibited from
fundraising. These ambitious girls developed a plan to make two-ply fleece blankets that are being
donated to CHaD and to Dana Farber Cancer Centers. They have made both large and small blankets
that are being given to children and babies with cancer. Already approximately 100 blankets have
been made.
The Scout troop has held three community awareness workshops. One was at Hudson Senior
Center and the last one was held this past weekend at Hudson Memorial School. Community
members, as well as the Girl Scouts, made more blankets. Everyone got an instruction sheet that
could be taken home so that more blankets could be made for family members or as gifts.
We wanted a way to remember MacKenzie and to help other children with cancer, said Jillian as
she talked about the cancer research project.

Oblates Retreat House on Lowell Road c. 1977

OMI Retreat circa Christmas 1956


submitted by Ruth Parker
The Oblates purchased the Wilson Farm on the
Lowell Road in 1922 and established a novitiate
for young men entering the priesthood. The
initial wooden building burned in 1935 and was
replaced by this brick building in 1936.
The novitiate closed and the building was
used as a retreat house beginning about 1941.
Many religious-based retreats were held here
for religious leaders, lay persons, teens, and
individuals with special needs. A large lecture
hall and chapel were added later. In the first
photo is the Oblate Retreat House as it appeared

Oblates of Mary Immaculate Retreat House circa 1976

in 1976.
Some readers may recall attending a weekly
or weekend retreat at the OMI (Oblates of Mary
Immaculate) Retreat House; many more will
remember the magnificent display of Christmas
lights as early as 1952. In 1960 as many as
300,000 lights were used in the special display
that caused a glow in the sky for many to see!
Travelers were lined up and down Lowell Road to
catch a look at the display, which was visible from
the road. The second photo shows one of these
exhibits. These exhibits left fond memories with
many residents; the magnificent displays on the

building and grounds and the enchanted village


inside. All were open to the public.
Local residents remember, and miss, the
friendly, welcoming atmosphere extended by the
brothers of OMI to the kids and families living in
the area. Hudson resident Leo Demers and his
childhood friend, Fran, would spend summer/
winter days helping the resident brothers and
priests with chores such as weeding, raking
and general clean-up, as well as decorating for
Christmas. For this they were paid a dish of ice
cream!
After the retreat house closed the property was

placed in a holding company and purchased


by Etchstone Properties in 2005. This building
and the acres around it are now the location of
Mission Pointe, residences for age 60-plus, at 200
Lowell Road.
The Oblates of Mary Immaculate were one of
three religious organizations who purchased large
pieces of farmland along Lowell Road; using the
property in their own mission, keeping fields/
forests maintained and unused for commercial
purposes. Photos from the collection of the

The Word Around Town...


Letters to our Editor

Kinder Morgan Coming


to BOS Meeting June 16
There is a controversial pipeline project brewing
in New Hampshire to be constructed and directed
by major pipeline company, Kinder Morgan. Kinder
Morgan has proposed to put excessive miles of 36 inch
pipes for high pressure, transportation of natural gas
from shale in Pennsylvania, across New York, to New
Hampshire and Massachusetts.
Only a small part of Hudson is deemed effected,
but in reality, it will affect a larger part of Hudson than
many people realize.
According to an interactive map on the website for
Nashua Regional Planning Commission, the pipeline
is proposed to cross Bockes, come up behind the right
side of Hopkins and continue on across Griffin where it
will run through a small part of Ingersoll Tree Farm and
a farmers land, across David Drive and up to Lenney,
Kienna, Breakneck and Boyd and then continue on up
though Londonderry until it reaches a point at Elwood
Orchards and then begins to turn southwest where
it is proposed to run through many New Hampshire
communities that have already aggressively risen in
opposition to this project.
David Drive area is the watershed for Robinson
Pond! This fact wasnt even disclosed in Kinder
Morgans original Draft Proposal to the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission. Another draft proposal will go
to FERC this month.
Along with environmental and safety concerns
regarding this proposed project, Kinder Morgan and
the energy industry are tied with current and past
corruption. Richard Kinder is a former owner of
Enron, a company that not only was part of a large
financial crisis in 2008, but responsible for participating
in a fraudulent energy crisis. The energy industry has

contributed to millions of dollars to various political


campaign committees in past years. Richard Kinder is a
large donor to various committees as well.
Additionally, the residents that will be
inconvenienced do not appear to benefit from the
natural gas that will be transported by these pipelines.
The pipelines will merely be a transportation highway
for the natural gas.
Kinder Morgan, the pipeline company for this
proposed project will be making an appearance at a
special Board of Selectmans meeting on Tuesday, June
16, at 7 p.m. at the Community Center on 12 Lions
Ave., Hudson. Please come by and listen to what they
have to say as well as various concerns from many
citizens who strongly oppose the plan. Come by and
ask your questions.

The Phantom Iraqi Army


The Iraqi Army has a history of moving to the rear
and exposing their back sides to attacking forces.
The Iraqi Army melted like butter when we attacked
them in 2003. They faded away when ISIL attacked
them, and then lost Mosul and most of northwestern
Iraq along with large quantities of U.S. equipment.
Recently they turned tail and abandoned U.S. military
equipment when they ran from Ramadi.
The Iraqi Army cannot be relied upon to fight ISIL
or any other insurgent groups, and we should not
supply them with weapons we could possibly face in the
future.
Our attack aircraft are currently destroying former
U.S. military vehicles captured by ISIL from the Iraqi
Army, and this will continue into the future.
The latest news is the Administration is sending

should not supply these rockets to the Iraqi Army,

NSA Proposes
Sportsmanship to all
For several months I have been trying various ways to
present my organization to the American people. Since
we have no Star Power, presentation has become an
arduous and expensive task. Simply explained: The
National Sportsmanship Alliance (N-S-A) strives to
promote fair play at all levels in all areas of competition.
Check out n-s-a.org. Our immediate emphasis focuses
on prevention of unnecessary and intentional injuries,
especially concussions. Such injuries often occur at
the end of a play or as a player is definitely going out
of bounds or when a player is falling, whereas a simple
push would suffice to end the play. And yet, some
teams are coached to take that opportunity to deliver
a devastating blow, one that could knock a player out
of the game or end the players season or worse end
the players career. Football isnt the only example of
the aforementioned unnecessarily rough play. Head
butts in both boys and girls soccer, elbows to the head
and face in both boys and girls basketball, blind side
checks in both boys and girls hockey, sticks to the
face in both boys and girls hockey and lacrosse are
common examples of poor sportsmanship. A quicker

whistle would decrease the number of injuries in those


examples. Rules in all sports need to be changed
and adjusted to reduce the number of injuries. Why
are 70 percent of the batters that are hit above the
waist playing on the winning team? Could it be
the frustration of the losing pitcher that causes him
to throw high and tight, where one hit to the head
could change a players life - a familys life. Immediate
ejection from the game is a possible deterrent. Two
ejections and the pitcher is done for the season. If you
think thats too harsh, how do you feel when your child
or brother/sister or friend has been hit? Uncontrolled
bullies have no place in sports. Sportsmanship has its
place in sports and in life. You can help the present
and future athletes, male and female, young and old by
joining the National Sportsmanship Alliance. We need
your help. n-s-a.org. Sportsmanship to all.

Eagle Scout Fundraising


Project to Benefit Hudson Fire

In the Dark about Library Laser Tag


Reviewing the calendar in this weeks HLN, in was noted
that the Rodgers Memorial Library will host a game of laser
tag inside the library on June 29. The program is open to sixth
graders to 12th graders; it begins at 9:30 p.m. and will last until
1 a.m. Now the Fox is a fundraising type of animal, but it seems
incomprehensible to play tag in a new $4.5 million complex,
which operates under the watchful eye of the elected library
trustees with over a $1 million taxpayer-supported budget.
Underground Concerns in our Communities
The environment for many reasons is important to the Fox.
Kinder Morgan is proposing a 36-inch pipeline that will travel
across many New Hampshire towns including Hudson. Hudson
Selectmen will host a meeting on June 16 at the
Community Center. Whether the pipeline is in
your back yard, you should be asking questions
about having this gas pipeline in our town.

Inside the Numbers


Is fiscal 2015-16 going to be a great year?
Hudson Selectmen must think so. Over the past
two meetings, they have approved spending money
that they dont have budgeted allocations for. While
that is not an uncommon thing as budgets are only
guidelines and under SB2 it is only a bottom line
that they cannot exceed. But lets start thinking: the
year hasnt started, it is 18 days away. Moving the
train station at Benson Park needed $50,000 more
than was planned for. The recent salary adjustments
saw a $24,000 money drain. Construction that
is starting this summer with the bridge/dam on
Pelham Road, as well as the lights and roadway
improvement slated for Library Park, are two
big projects that could have overruns that the

th
contingency fund wont cover. What then?
Hudsons leadership team does a great job of finding funds
when funds are needed. This winter was a perfect example as
the snow removal budget pushed the Highway Department funds
into the hole for about $150,000, and that money was pulled
out of various budget lines to keep our roads safe. The question
today is, of course, how good is the budget? If that type of money
can be found in line items, do we need a budget with a larger
contingency fund and less money in other operation line items?
A budget is to be a plan; do we need a better more detailed plan?
And One More Thing
While weve talking about money, one more question comes
to the Foxs mind. Why after 10 years of the police chief and
fire chief getting the same salary, did the police chief get $3,000
more this time? Both departments are about the same size. Just
wondering.

Obituaries

Paul A. Phaneuf, 74, former resident of Hudson, passed away at the Tidewell Hospice Home in
Port Charlotte, Florida, on May 30, 2015. He was born in Nashua on April 23, 1941, and was the
son of the late Oscar and Alberta (Guerette) Phaneuf.
Paul enjoyed camping with his family, deep sea fishing, and spending time with grandchildren.
He had a passion for cars and raced at Hudson Speedway and New England Dragway in his
earlier years. He later joined a car club with his wife Claire and would attend car shows with
his El Camino and her Thunderbird. Paul had also enjoyed spending time at the Nashua Moose
Lodge where he was elected and had held the position of Lodge Governor.
Through the years, places of employment included Bemis Bag where he was a Paper Machine
Operator, Sanders Associates and Lowell Mass General Hospital as a 3rd Class Steam Engineer
in their boiler rooms and in later years was employed at Anheuser Busch, Inc. In addition, he
spent many years self-employed as a contractor where he loved working with wood. His love
of woodworking also included working in his workshop creating cribbage boards and clocks for
family and friends.
Paul is survived by his wife of 56 years, Claire (Demers) Phaneuf; his brother and wife, Maurice
and Jean Phaneuf of Nashua; his son and daughter in-law, Donald and Nancy Phaneuf of Hudson;
his daughter and son in-law, Laurie and Scott Libby of Merrimack; and son, Mark Phaneuf of St.
Petersburg, Florida. He also is survived by seven grandchildren, 1st Lt. Ryan Phaneuf, Christina

Donald Scott Parker, 68, died peacefully with his wife at his side at the Community Hospice
House in Merrimack on May 29, 2015. He stubbornly fought a four-year battle with multiple
myeloma and now is safe at home in the arms of his Heavenly Father.
Scott was born June 27, 1946, in Rockville Center, New York, the son of the late Donald
Charles and Joyce (Quinn) Parker. Scott was a graduate of Bishop Bradley High in Manchester
and then attended The Citadel in South Carolina. He enlisted in the Marines and served his
country for four years in Vietnam. A long-time resident of Litchfield, known at work as Don, he was employed
as a lab technician with Nashua Corp. for over 25 years.
Scott was a kind, quiet, gentleman who was an avid reader, lover of history and nature, and an avid walker who
followed UNH sports and loved his family pets.
He leaves behind his wife of 31 years, Marcia (Heald) Parker, and two sons, Bryan of Hudson, and Brad of
Beverly, Massachusetts. Family members include sisters, Deborah Champagne, and Tracy Gerlack and her
husband Russ, all of Milford; and his nephews, Kevin and Michael Rockwell of Oregon, to whom Scott was a
surrogate father. In addition, he leaves behind nieces, Heather and Kimmie; grand-nephews, Logan, Ewan and
grand-niece, Samantha.
A Memorial service will be held at Londonderry Christian Church, 372 Mammoth Rd., Londonderry, on
Wednesday, June 17, at 6:30 p.m. At a later date, he will be interned at the NH State Veterans Cemetery, 110

Diet & Dental Health


A wel balanced
diet is very
important in
maintaining
a healthy
body.
Similarly,
what we eat
is critical to
the development and
maintenance of healthy
teeth and supporting
structures.
Research has shown that
damage to teeth is related
not only to what you eat, but
also to when you eat. How
often you snack and how
long the food remains in your
mouth are critical factors
that determine the damage
caused by foods.
Here is why. Bacteria
present in plaque digest
sugars and produce acids
that attack tooth enamel.
After repeated acid attacks,

Learning, Creativity and Fun:


All Part of the How-To Festival

the enamel breaks down,


forming cavities. It is important
then to limit intake of sugars as
well as the frequency and
duration that sugars are in
contact with teeth. To
accomplish this it is
recommended sugars be
eaten as part of a full meal,
rather than in-between meal
snacks. Between meals it is
best to choose non-sugary
snacks. Fresh fruit, raw
vegetables, cheese, and
yogurt are excellent choices.
Sticky foods or any food that
remains in the mouth will
prolong the acid attack by
remaining in contact with the
teeth longer.
Good dental health
depends on more than diet.
Proper brushing and flossing
techniques should be
employed to ensure a healthy
mouth, as well as regular
professional dental care.

by Lynne Ober
Saturday was the How-To Festival at George
H. and Ella M. Rodgers Memorial Library. It
kicked off at 11 a.m. and there was something
for everyone throughout the day. Want to learn
how to find your ancestors? There was an hourlong session at 11:00, or at the same time you
could learn how money works and how to keep
your home safe.
If you preferred to be outdoors, there were
several tents set up on the library grounds. The
Nashua Community Music School brought a
display plus a trio who were accomplished
at Bang Your Bucket. Trash Talk is their new
and exciting performance ensemble that turns
the traditional idea of a percussion ensemble
right on its head. They perform a variety a
contemporary percussion music that is scored for
trashcans, plastic buckets, and metal pails, as a
full ensemble as well as by smaller groups. On
Saturday their trio not only played, but taught
others who had an interest. They explained that
this program is open to any budding musician
(not just drummers) with strong rhythmic
ability who is looking for a cool, new musical
challenge.
If you were more interested in crafts for
summer days, the Roving Beaders were
demonstrating two different techniques of bead
weaving or you could learn how to spin your
own wool and then make it into a variety of
crafts.
Three gentlemen from Make It Labs, New
Hampshires first community-operated workshop,
Quality Dental Care For Your Entire Family
also known as makerspace or hackerspace,
entertained young and old. They had a two262 Derry Rd (Rt. 102), Litchfield, NH 03052 880-4040
seat mobile chair that was made to go with
SteamPunk and, which they plan to take to
Nashuas SteamPunk event. If you were brave,
this remote-controlled chair would take you for
a short, but entertaining ride in the parking lot. Paul was teaching
people how to make plastic bracelets with a 3D printer in no time
at all. Using PLA, a starch based plastic, hed produce bracelets
while chatting about the technology. Make It Labs is located in
Nashua, has a website and has open houses once a week. Paul
www.nhlions.org/hudson
said the lab is 6,000 square feet of workshop space filled with all
sorts of tools and equipment, both familiar and exotic. Theres
metalworking, welding, machining, automotive, carpentry,
electronics, laser cutting, 3D printing, programming, and best of all
they also offer classes if youd like to learn new skills.
You could also learn to play guitar songs with only three chords,
plant and raise a day lily, compliments of Hudsons Harmon Hill
Farms, prevent Lyme disease or make a quilt.
All day long, you could get information on free passes to
th
museums and attractions, how to access test preparation and
academic skills review, download free books or read an auto repair
manual through the library website. If you wanted to make your
Doors Open at 4pm

Learning to make a friendship bracelet started with fabric so that you could
learn the method. Then Erin Farrell, 11, and her brother Ryan, 7, used
embroidery floss to complete their projects with the assistance of Miss Kristen.

Litchfield Lions Get Quacking


to Raise Money

Dominique Kaempf Recognized for Academic


Achievement, Leadership and Community Service

by Tom Tollefson
When you think of rubber ducks, you
think of bathtubs, but how about racing
through a pond? Last Saturday 379
rubber ducks raced through McQuesten
pond on the premises of McQuesten
Farm in the third annual Litchfield Lions
Club Duck Race fundraiser.
This event helps raise money for the
Lions Club to benefit the less fortunate
around the world, said Litchfield Lions
Club member Matt McQuesten.
All proceeds from the race went to
the Litchfield Lions Club general fund,
supports various charitable organizations
and causes. The Litchfield organization
helps pay for eye glasses for people in
need, donates money to the Litchfield
Food Pantry, Lions Sight and Hearing
Foundation, Lions Health Services
Board, and the Lions International
Foundation, which exists to support
humanitarian purposes around the
world.
Dozens watched with bated breath
to see if their duck would get to the
other side of the pond first. The end of
the race was marked by a rain gutter
set up in such a way that it would sort
out the ducks one by one as they fell
down the waterfall, which served as the

Dazzling Performances Given at PMA

submitted by Presentation of Mary Academy, Hudson


The first-ever performance by the Presentation of Mary
Academys band happened this week and what a show
it was. This is the first year that band has been offered.
Assistant Principal Kate Gaudreau worked diligently all
year to make the new band program a success.
Its important to offer extracurricular activities to
nurture the strengths of all students, Gaudreau said.
The students had a successful year learning their new
instruments. Students in grades three through eight
chose which instrument they wanted to learn, and lessons
were offered from the Paul Effman Music Company. The
company came to PMA each week and held practices
after school.
Joining the show was PMAs choir directed by music
teacher Diane Dube. Students have
been rehearsing a variety of songs
throughout the year and opened up
the show with The Star-Spangled
Banner. In addition, the amazing a
cappella group dazzled the audience
with their rendition of two pop
songs. The junior high a cappella
group consists of girls that direct the
group themselves and create all the
material for their performances. They
all demonstrated amazing talent and
leadership. Congratulations to all the
musically talented students at Presentation of Mary Academy.

Ayotte, Shaheen Vow to Continue Efforts to


Improve Implementation of
Veterans Choice Card Program
submitted by the Ofces of Senators Kelly
Ayotte and Jeanne Shaheen
Senators Kelly Ayotte (R-N.H.) and Jeanne
Shaheen (D-N.H.) released this statement
following the forum they hosted on May
26 focused on the Veterans Choice Card
programing:
Todays forum was an important step
towards ensuring that New Hampshire
veterans are able to use the Veterans Choice
Card program to receive the timely care they
need, close to home. We appreciated the
opportunity to hear directly from veterans
about the problems theyre facing with the
implementation of the Veterans Choice
Card program, and from VA officials about
potential solutions to those problems. Based
on the feedback we received today, we also
plan to facilitate an additional event that will
allow veterans to hear directly from Health
Net officials about how they can best utilize

the Choice Card Program. We will continue


to work with VA to ensure that they get this
program right.
Todays forum was a part of a continuing
effort by Senators Ayotte and Shaheen
to ensure that the Veterans Choice Card
program is implemented correctly in New
Hampshire, the only state in the continental
U.S. without a full service VA hospital. Last
year, they included a provision in the VA
reform bill that allows most New Hampshire
veterans the option to seek care from local
non-VA health care providers in New
Hampshire, rather than having to travel long
distances to receive VA services out of state.
The senators have expressed concerns with
the VAs roll-out of the Choice Card program
in New Hampshire, which has caused
confusion among veterans seeking to use the
program.
In addition to pressing the VA secretary

to address problems with the Choice Card


programs implementation, in February,
Ayotte and Shaheen sent a letter to President
Obama expressing opposition to a provision
in the administrations Fiscal Year (FY) 2016
budget that seeks to cut funding from the
Veterans Choice Card program. The senators
urged the president to faithfully implement
the Choice Card program as Congress
intended. Ayotte and Shaheen have also
introduced separate legislation to protect the
Choice Card program for the states veterans.
Under current law, the Choice Card program
is authorized for three years or until its $10
billion dollar initial funding allocation is
exhausted. The senators new legislation
would make the program permanent for
veterans living in states without a full service
hospital, like New Hampshire.

Hudson Police Investigating

submitted by Hudson Police Department
On Sunday June 7, around 12 p.m.,
Hudson Police responded to St. Patricks

Take Fire Survey, have Dinner with


Duty Crew at the Len Smith Station
submitted by Hudson Fire Department
To better meet the needs of the community, the Hudson Fire Department has developed a survey to
gain insight into residents knowledge, concerns, and opinions related to the possible construction of a
new fire station on Lowell Road. In appreciation for residents completing the survey, one respondent will
be chosen in a random drawing for dinner at the fire station with Group 1.
The short survey asks the respondent to rate the departments delivery of information on why a new
station is needed, as well as if there a need for a new station and concerns that may be related to the
station. Each survey question also provides the respondent an opportunity to provide open-ended
comments, without restriction. Additionally, if a respondent wishes to be contacted regarding their
responses or have questions, they can include their contact information in the appropriate section of the
survey.
The observations, opinions, and recommendations of residents are valuable, as the department
continually strives to improve all operations and fire protection services. Please take a moment
to complete the survey to assist the department in identifying the needs of a new station, areas for
improvement, and opportunities for continued growth. The survey is currently available and will remain
online at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/JMB6T72.

Senate, House Make Statement


on NH Operating Budget
Senate President Chuck Morse (R-Salem) and NH House Speaker Shawn Jasper (R-Hudson)
released the following joint statement regarding the states operating budget.
Any speculation of a government shutdown is unfounded. As leaders in state government we
will do everything in our power to ensure that state government continues to run smoothly on July
1, just as it will on June 30.
The House and the Senate will continue to work together and communicate openly with the
Governor to produce a state operating budget that is supportive of the citizens of the State of New
Hampshire.

Presidential
Candidate
Fiorina Stops
by Hudson
Republican presidential candidate Carly
Fiorina met with about 90 voters at the VFW
hall in Hudson on Tuesday afternoon. The
event was sponsored by the Hudson Republican
Town Committee. Fiorina, who is the former
Hewlett-Packard CEO and the first woman to
lead a Fortune 500 business, spoke for about
30 minutes and then took questions from the
audience. Some of the topics covered included
foreign relations, cyber security, political
leadership and what her first actions would be if
she were elected president. Leadership is not
about title, position, power or status, Fiorina
said. The highest calling of leadership is to
unlock potential in others. Leaders challenge
the status quo.

This weekend the Hudson Hawks U9 Maroon team played its last regular season game. They played
a hard-fought game and came out on top of the home team, Peterborough. The final score was 1713. Even more amazing is that these kids have put up an undefeated season. The Hudson Hawks U9
Maroon team has finished the season with an impressive 8-0 record, with the most goals in their entire
division. Congratulate them when you see them.

The 39th Army Band will Play a


Free Concert on the Green
submitted by Jim Ehlinger, Post Commander, John H. Hargreaves Memorial VFW Post 10722
The John H. Hargreaves Memorial VFW Post 10722 in Pelham is proud to welcome the 39th Army
Band to Pelham to perform a free public concert on the Village Green. The concert will be on June 29
starting at 6 p.m. The concert will be a great time for everyone to come out and enjoy the music of the
39th Army Band. They have performed all over New Hampshire and in faraway places such in Greece,
the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Costa Rica.
The 39th Army Band, New Hampshire Army National Guard, can trace its lineage back 136 years to
its inception in Manchester in 1879. When activated for the Spanish American War, it was known as the
Band Section, 1st Infantry New Hampshire National Guard. During World War I, it became known as
the Band Section for 1st Army Headquarters Regiment. During World War II, it was known as the band
for 172nd Field Artillery, New Hampshire. Since 1947, it has been known by its current designation as
39th Army Band New Hampshire Army National Guard.
The band is comprised of musicians representing many communities throughout the state. The
members of the 39th Army Band are dedicated soldiers whose high standard of performance is respected
and anticipated wherever they perform. Truly, the 39th Army Band is a shining example of New
Hampshires soldiers at their finest.
For those who are not familiar with Pelhams Concerts on the Green, the concert will start at 6 p.m.
and will be held outside, so for seating, it is recommended to bring some lawn chairs or a blanket and
set up anywhere on the Village Green lawn. Concessions of hot dogs and hamburgers will be sold by the
VFW and will used to benefit veteran programs in Pelham and across New Hampshire. Unfortunately,
due to the Army Bands limited availability, there will not be a rain date if there is inclement weather.
The VFW hopes to see everyone on June 29 to hear some of NHs best musicians.

Teague steals third base in the bottom of the third.

Derek Hudson fans 10 BG batters and only walks one.


to advance to third, giving Bishop Guertin the 1-0 lead. The
Cardinals next batter hit a hot shot that allowed another run to
score.
The top of the fifth inning was no better for Alvirne. The first
batter of the inning for Bishop Guertin reached first on a routine
ground ball. A sacrifice bunt moved that runner to second, and
after a groundout, the same runner was brought home on a single
into right field, making the score 3-0.
As Coach Lee said, the Broncos had trouble mustering their
usual firepower at the plate. As a team, Alvirne had a total of
five hits, with three of them coming on doubles, and the other
two singles. Only one batter went down on strikes, and the rest
made some sort of contact with the ball, but the BG fielders were
consistently able to make the outs.
Alvirne will lose four seniors from this years squad that finished
12-7. We are losing some important seniors, Coach Lee said.
They arent easy to replace. The future looks bright for the
Broncos, but the future will have to wait until next year.

It definitely was not the day they had played hard all season
for as Alvirne Baseball lost on their home field to the Cardinals of
Bishop Guertin, 3-0.
Guertin played very well, Coach Mike Lee said. They didnt
make any errors, they had a lot of nice defensive plays and they
hit the ball well.
It was just one of those days for the Broncos, where everything
they tried to do just didnt work out the way they wanted. A bright
spot on the day was the pitching of Hudson, who fanned ten
batters while only walking one. Unfortunately, it didnt matter
how he pitched today, because we couldnt score any runs for
him, Lee said.
It started in the top of the third inning, with Cardinal runners
on first and third, when a groundball was hit to LaMothe at first.
He stepped on first for the out, and then threw the ball to second
try to turn the double play. Unfortunately, his throw to second
5 x 4.5tocolumns
ended up in left field, letting one runner score, and the other

Mud Hens Capture Championship with a Win


over the Grasshoppers

Matt Hudson
Thanked for 12 Years
of Coaching

as they came out swinging after the delay and strung together a few
hits coupled with two walks to tie the game at 3.
This would be the end of the scoring for the Grasshoppers though
and the beginning of the Mud Hens run to the title. The barrage of
lefts and rights came from the likes of Grady Hudson, Forsyth, Xavier
Santana, Paul Borletto and Charlie Laporte with the knockout punch
being provided by Hudson on a steal of home. The 11-3 final score
doesnt really do the game justice as a bounce here or there could
have made all the difference in the game.
It just seemed like every time we got something going the Hens
made a great play to shut us down, said outfielder Abi Narra who
had two hits. Also chipping in with hits for the Grasshoppers were
Casey Corletto, Josh MacDonald (two), Kyle Boulanger and Anthony
Santos.
An emotional coach Matt Hudson of the Mud Hens said after
the game that this would be his last game as a coach for HYB and
couldnt have asked for a better way to go out. The Mud Hens
finished the season at 19-1 while the Grasshoppers end up at 14-6.
All Playoff Team: Mud Hens: Grady Hudson, Jagger Forsyth, and
Paul Borletto. Grasshoppers: Kyle Boulanger and Carlos Camargo.
Rock Hounds: John Crawford and Isaiah Power. Bandits: Brady
Simard and Ty Baker. Sea Dogs: Tom Tierney and Ricky Meighan.
Sand Gnats: Jake Dufour and Adam Regan.

The Mud Hens celebrate their championship.


submitted by Charles Scoops Magoo Huggins
After what could only be described as the
baseball version of Ali vs. Frazier, the Mud Hens and
Grasshoppers squared off in a heavyweight battle for the
ages on June 4th and provided an extra inning thriller
that will be talked about for a long time in this town.
The Mud Hens took the tilt 11-10, leaving both teams
exhausted and the bullpens spent, so it is not a stretch
to say that the rematch to settle the Hudson Youth
Majors Championship would be the hottest ticket in
town. The game quickly sold out, and this reporter has
learned that tickets were going on the secondary market
for as much as triple the face value.
Fast forward to Tuesday, June 9. The Mud Hens
jumped out to a quick 3-0 lead in their half of the first
inning before most fans could even get settled into their
seats. Starting pitcher Jagger Forsyth was determined to
make that lead stand up, but Mother Nature had other

Pole Scores Third Win of the


Season at Devils Bowl

submitted by Jimy Weaver


Joey Polewarczyk would go into this past weekends Peoples United Bank 100 at Devil Bowls
Speedway in West Haven, Vt., a mere nine points behind point leader Wayne Helliwell, Jr. but would
close that down just five markers with a dominating performance and his series-high third win of the
season in the caution-free event.
Starting in the seventh position, Joey would ride just outside the top 5 for the first 25 laps of the event
before turning up the wick and making his charge to the front. We were riding there in the beginning
and everyone was kind of equal, Pole said. I tried to go to the outside of Travis Stearns, I tried to (get
to) the inside of Travis for a while, and I just couldnt complete the pass. So then I backed off and said I
guess its not time yet. Then, all of a sudden, it was like a light switch. I dont know. The car just really
came into it.
Pole would make his way up to the third position by lap 50 and watch leaders Wayne Helliwell and
Nick Sweet battle back and forth with each other for the top spot while making their way through lapped
traffic. Joey would use that lapped traffic to help catch the leaders and jockey his way past Sweet setting
his eyes on Helliwell. Once in second he would track down the point leader and, once again, used
lapped traffic to his advantage quickly passing for the race lead with only 25 circuits remaining taking the
checkered flag 2.917 seconds in front of second.
We could really roll the bottom, and it was tough on the outside groove; there wasnt a lot of grip up
there, Pole explained. When the leaders would get to lapped traffic, it would close everyone back up
because they had to go to the outside. Lapped traffic was huge for us. Helliwell and Sweet were quite
a ways away from me by the time I got to third.
Luckily, lapped traffic allowed us to close in on
888-797-3943
them. We had a great car. We were able to get
BESTAUTOGROUPNH.COM
through lapped traffic easier at times. I got by Nick
579 Amherst Street,
Sweet by going in between him and a lapped car.

dog fight the whole way. Pole and Helliwell count


for five wins out of the six races run this year with
three and two, respectively. Momentum is a huge
part of this, Pole said. I think this is going to be
one of the best seasons in a long time. Waynes
just one hell of a competitor and one hell of a guy.
To be racing him like this and its kind of weird,
but its a dream of mine. Ive known him for a
long time. Hes won two races, and weve won
three races just because weve brought each others
competitiveness up just another notch. He wants
to beat me and I want to beat him. There are 30
other guys we want to beat, too, and they all want
to beat us. Helliwell would eventually finish in
third.
The tight points battle will resume on June 20
when the ACT tour thunders into White Mountain
Motorsports Park for round seven. For more

Ryan Glendye leads his Campbell teammates to victory.

Zach Byers shows his energy after hitting an RBI double.

by Zack Miller
When Ryan Glendye has pitched this year for the Campbell
Baseball team, it has led to a victory for him and his teammates as
well. Saturday was no different, as he dazzled in a 7-2 quarterfinal
playoff victory over the visiting Orioles of Conant High School.
When they take the field with him pitching, there is a very good
chance they are going to win, Coach Jim Gorham said. They
know it, and they play with confidence.
Glendye got a bit of a test in the top of the first inning, when
he gave up a single to the first hitter he faced. He then got the
next batter to ground into a fielders choice, and then hit the third
batter he faced in the shoulder, putting runners on first and second.
Another fielders choice put runners on the corners for the Orioles,
but Glendye stayed cool. Those runners in scoring position were

left on base, because Glendye got the number-five hitter to strike out
swinging, getting a big cheer from the crowd, and his teammates
alike.
It was then Campbells turn, and they didnt waste any time putting
runners on the bags either. Matt Gagne led off with a single into left
field, and moved to second after Kyle Shaw grounded into a fielders
choice. Gagne would scoot over to third after a passed ball, during
Zach Byers at-bat. With Gagne now on second, Byers hit a shot
to straightaway center field. This brought Gagne home for a 1-0
Campbell lead, and they wouldnt look back.
In the bottom of the second, the Cougars were at it again. With
the bases loaded, Gagne hit an RBI sacrifice bunt, which plated Kyle
Manning, upping the score to 2-0. After Shaw drew a walk, loading
the bases again, Byers brought two more home, on a grounder that

went through the legs of the second baseman, pushing the score
higher to 4-0.
The bottom of the third brought more of the same for the Cougars,
as Austin Baker took one for the team on his left leg, putting him on
first base. After Manning flew out to center field, Baker stole second,
and came home on a Justin DiBenedetto single to center, making
the score 5-0. Campbell added another run in the home half of the
sixth, thanks in part to a sacrifice fly to right-field by Baker, plating
Shaw, moving the score to 6-0.
Glendye gave up his first run in the top of the fifth, on a single into
right field, cutting the Campbell lead to 6-1. It didnt matter, though,
as the Cougars would push the lead back to six, in the bottom of the
sixth. Shaw doubled to straightaway center to start off the inning,
and after Byers grounded out to the shortstop, moving Shaw to third,
Bob Baril hit an RBI sacrifice fly, making the lead 7-1.
The top of the seventh proved to be a little problematic for
Glendye, as he gave up singles to the first two batters he faced,
prompting a visit from Coach Gorham. I told him they havent
invented a seven-run homer yet. No matter what this guy does, we
will still be ahead at the end of his at bat. All we are looking to do is
get an out, Gorham said. Glendye would get that out, as he got the
batter to ground into a fielders choice, for the first out of the inning.
He would give up one more run, on a sac-fly, but thats as close as
Conant would get. The last batter of the game went down by way
of the K, giving Campbell the victory, and another chance to get
back to the title game. Campbell took on #4-seeded Hopkinton on
Thursday, June 11 at Gill Stadium in Manchester. The winner will
advance to the championship on Saturday, June 13 at 7 p.m.

Not much went right for the Broncos in the game, as Nicole Teague was given the
loss after allowing seven total runs, with three being earned. She did strike out four,
while only walking one. At the plate she scored half of her teams runs, with a solo
homer to left-center in the top of the second inning.
The Broncos would get their last run in the top of the sixth inning. Jenna Bradish
led off the inning with a walk, and came home on a Sara Siteman RBI double to right

Campbell Softball Cages Hawks

Broncos Bounced
by Green Wave

Hannah Neild slides safely into home to score the games first run.
by Zack Miller
If you had to compare Mondays NHIAA quarterfinal
softball game between the Cougars and Hopkinton to
something, it would be a bottle of soda. When you keep
shaking a bottle of soda, the fizz will come to the top, until
you finally open it, and it forces itself out. That is exactly
how Mondays game started, and finished, for Coach
Michael Sobys team, as they took down the Hawks, 4-0.
Hopkinton is a very good team, and I expected a very
tight battle, Coach Soby said. We got exactly what
I expected. The first five and a half innings could be
described as the shaking portion of the soda bottle,
as the Cougars and Hawks went scoreless, and only
combined for a total of six hits. The cap almost came off
in the bottom of the fourth, when Campbell threatened
to score with Amber Gibbons on second and Meagan
Coughlin on third, with one out. It looked as though the
scoreless tie would be broken, when Haleigh Cardello hit
a fly out to center- field, allowing Coughlin to tag up and
score the games first run. Unfortunately, for the Cougars,
Coughlin left the bag to early when she tagged up, causing
her to be out after Hopkinton stepped on the third base
bag.
Nonetheless, the shaking of the bottle continued. It
continued all the way until the bottom of the sixth, when

the cap finally came off, causing the fizz to go everywhere.
Hannah Neild led off with a bloop single into center field;
then, Gianna Cataldo singled down the third-base line,
giving Campbell their first two base runners since the
fourth inning. After a Coughlin sacrifice bunt moved them
both into scoring position, Carrie Fernandez hit a sac-fly,
which scored Neild, giving Campbell their first run of the
day. The damage would continue, when Amber Gibbons
doubled down the left-field line, driving in Cataldo,
pushing the score to 2-0. Cardello was the next batter, and
she too registered a single of her own, bringing Gibbons
home, increasing the lead to 3-0. Cassidy Gibbons gave
Campbell their last run of the game, when she tripled into
right center, plating Cardello, and giving the Cougars the
4-0 lead.
With Olivia Martinage on the mound, you can always
expect a strong showing, as she gave up no runs on two
hits, while walking two and striking out five Hawk batters.
Im very proud of how Olivia handled herself today,
Coach Soby said. She had great backup with her defense,

Factors to Consider Before Selling Your Home


Selling a home is no small undertaking.
It often pays to be patient when putting a
property up for sale, but waiting for an acceptable offer can be stressful, especially for those
homeowners who have already found their
next homes.
Because so much tends to be riding on the
decision of whether or not to sell a home,
homeowners would be wise to consider the
following factors before putting that For Sale
sign in their front yards.
Motivation: Many homeowners sell their
homes because their families are growing and
they have outgrown their current residences.
Others may recognize a sellers real estate
market and want to strike while the iron is hot,
while still others might be moving for a new
job. The factors that motivate homeowners
to sell their homes vary with each individual
case, but prospective sellers should keep in
mind that moving can be expensive, and finding a new home may not be so easy, nor is the
grass necessarily greener on the other side.
When deciding if now is the best time to sell
your home, make sure you will be selling for
the right reason. That can make the often trying
process of selling a home a lot easier to handle.
Market: The local real estate market is another factor to consider when deciding whether or not to sell your home. A home is a
significant investment, and you want to earn as substantial a return
on that investment as possible. Selling when the market is struggling will make your investment less valuable. Research recently
sold homes in your neighborhood to get an idea of how much you

can expect to get if you sold your home in


the current market. It might be worth it to sell
now, or it might pay off to be patient and wait
until the market rebounds.
Kids: Selling your home will impact your
family just like it will impact your bottom
line. Unless you plan to move down the street
or to another home in your community, selling may mean you and your family no longer
see your friends and neighbors. That can be
a difficult adjustment, especially for schoolaged kids who will have to adjust to a new
school. The potentially negative impact that
selling can have on your children may not
be worth the financial benefits of selling, so
the decision of whether or not to sell should
not be taken lightly by homeowners who also
happen to be parents.
Quality of life: It can be difficult to turn
down an opportunity to make a lot of money
on your real estate investment. But if you plan
to sell and move further away from your office
and your friends and family, the financial
windfall you earn when selling your home
may not be worth the sacrifices you have to
make in order to earn that money. Studies
have shown that longer commutes can elevate stress levels, and
even the most affordable property may not be worth moving to if
you wont be able to enjoy the home with your friends and family.
When deciding whether or not to sell their homes, many homeowners make the decision a strictly financial one. But there is more
than money to consider when deciding if now is the right time to
sell your home.
