It was a full house this past Tuesday night as people piled into the Campbell High
School auditorium. Litchfield citizens listened to what Pennichuck, the Town of
Litchfield and New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services had to say.
At the beginning of the meeting the Town of Litchfield wanted to ensure the
public that even though St. Gobain has agreed to hook up 360 Litchfield homes
that this is not a settlement. The Town of Litchfield had their first meeting with
St. Gobain in September and St. Gobain has agreed to continue talks. When
Selectman Frank Byron started reading out loud the list of the town of Litchfields
demands, applause erupted when he reached the demand that St. Gobain pay the
impacted citizens and businesses water bills for the next 20 years. However, as
soon as a homeowner gets connected to public water they are expected to start
paying their monthly bill.
Pennichucks average customer pays about $50 per month. An additional $9
might be added to that monthly cost if Pennichuck rates go up. Pennichucks last
rate increase was in 2010. Pennichuck does guarantee clean, safe drinking water
and that water will be available 24/7/365 even during a power outage. People
voiced their concerns about Pennichuck not having the capability to supply an
additional 360 homes. Larry Goodhue, CEO of Pennichuck, assured people that he
does by naming off several of their water sources.
At the meeting the construction was explained as two phases. Phase ones goal,
which has already started, is to connect 173 Litchfield homes by 2016, weather
permitting. The rest of the homes will be connected during phase two. All roads
will be repaved after the pipes have been put in. Construction should be over by
mid-August 2017.
Pictures will be taken of private property before the construction of hooking up to
private property begins. Contractors will begin fixing any damages to homeowners
property on April 1 (weather permitting) at no cost to the homeowner. The homes
who dont get connected to public water in 2016 will receive a Point of View,
which will be installed by Culligan.
NHDES wanted to let people know that in order to be connected by public water,
homeowners private wells must be disconnected. This leaves the homeowner
with three options. The first option and the one that NHDES recommends is for
homeowners to decommission their wells. The second is to disconnect your private
well from your house but have it still be viable for non-consumption use. An
example of that would be watering your lawn. The third option is to refuse public
water. However, if you refuse to hook up to public water now, St. Gobain will not
be paying you to connect later. In New Hampshire if a homeowner is trying to sell
their home a realtor is required to inform any potential buyers if your home has a
contaminated well.
Since Pennichuck will be going to peoples homes, Goodhue wants to remind
everybody of what they should be expecting for safety purposes. No one from
Pennichuck should be showing up at your house without an arranged appointment.
All Pennichuck employees will have shirts with the logo on it as well as a badge.
The badge should have their name, picture, employee identification number and
the Pennichucks 800 number listed below. Most of the time they will be showing
up in a Pennichuck vehicle, but not always.
For those who did not attend the meeting and are one of the proposed 360
homes, you should be getting paperwork in the mail basically agreeing to be
hooked up to public water and for what you would like to happen to your well.
Many people signed the forms after the meeting on Tuesday.
If you have any questions call Pennichuck at 1-800-553-5191.

Hudson School District Administration presented a 2018
budget reduction during the School Boards Monday meeting,
while the next step for the budget is a stay and review at the
Budget Committee. The 8-cent reduction is a symbol of the
$318,663 in cuts. The chart below shows where the budget
adjustments were made. Please note that the insurance
adjustments are the result of the actual cost being lower than
the expected increase that was planned for.
Karen Burnell, Finance Director, reviewed each line and
mentioned that, with the assistance of each schools principal

and/or department heads, it was agreed that these needed

replacement items and equipment could be delayed for one
year, but would need to be in the following years budget.
Also included but removed by the school board was a rebuild
of a Physics Lab; the school board felt that this needed to be
included in the FY 2018 budget.
The complete table is presented to the readers with the one
caveat that FY 2017 is the year that we are in now, calendar
dates July 1 2016 to June 30, 2017. And the FY 2018 is the
budget that will become effective July 1 2017 and run until
June 30 2018.

Deaf Visor Cards for Drivers can Help

Prevent Misunderstanding
by Kaylee Murphy
For the last three years Jerry Gutekunst of Hudson has been an
advocate and an activist for deaf drivers. Gutekunst had an incident

a while back when he was stopped by

a Nashua police officer. The officer
was questioning Gutekunst about his
registration sticker and his license plate.
Since Gutekunst is completely deaf in
his left ear and also suffers from Auditory
Processing Disorder (his brain can no
longer recognize the words that he is
hearing) he could not understand the
officers questions. When Gutekunst
attempted to pull out his accommodation card, the officer moved
back and placed his hands on his gun. Nothing happened, but
similar situations have occurred across the U.S., and the outcomes
can turn out tragically.
A deaf visor card can help prevent a possible tragic situation. This
card can help clarify the situation and decrease the chance of any
misunderstanding. Drivers can place the card on the visor so that
it is out of sight and yet easily accessible if needed. There are two
different types of visor cards. The deaf visor card notifies a police
officer that a driver is deaf and communicates using American Sign
Language. The hard of hearing visor card is for people who can
speak English and wear hearing aids. Anyone who is interested in
obtaining either card can visit this website: hearinglosshelp.com/
shop/visor-cards-deaf.
Another risk for deaf drivers relates to emergency vehicles. If
a deaf person doesnt have
a hearing aid or a cochlear
implant they may not be able
to hear the sirens. If they do
have one of those devices the
noise level of the sirens can be

almost traumatic to the ears and the brain due

to the level of the sirens. Many drivers dont use
their hearing aids while driving because they
can encounter many uncomfortable noises such
as construction sounds. Gutekunst has found a
device, through his local Subaru dealership, that
will activate a flashing light when an emergency
vehicle is approaching. Gutekunst likes his
Subaru because it has a lot of windows and
he can see more easily. Its important for deaf
drivers to be even more visibly aware of their surroundings.
According to hearinghealthfoundation.org, 48 million people in
the U.S. suffer from some degree of hearing loss. About 60 percent
of veterans coming back from Iraq or Afghanistan arrive back with
some hearing loss.
Hearing loss sneaks up on you. No one wants to admit it when
their hearing starts to fail because it changes your life, Gutekunst
said, when you have a hearing problem you have to learn to drive
totally differently.
Support groups are available in New Hampshire to help people
who are deaf or suffer from some degree of hearing loss such as the
Northeast Deaf and Hard of Hearing Services, Inc based in Concord.

Remember Hudson When ...

The Meadows on Central Street c. 1977
by Ruth Parker
In the late 1940s traffic along the Route
111 corridor, known as Central Street
in Hudson Center, was on the increase.
This was the result of the popularity of
Bensons Wild Animal Farm as well as
the convenience of automobile travel for
business and pleasure. Businesses were
beginning to open up or relocate to this
section of the highway. One of these that
holds a permanent place in our memories
is The Meadows, a seafood restaurant.
In September 1947 John Wollen, founder
and longtime owner of The Meadows,
purchased about 20 acres on the east side
of Central Street from Perley B. and Clara
E. Smith. The Smiths lived in the area and
Perley operated a Cider Mill just a few lots
south towards Belknap Road. By the spring
and summer of 1949 The Meadows opened
for business and soon became a popular
eating place for the locals as well as the
tourists visiting Bensons. Their menu
included fried clams, haddock, scallops
and sandwiches along with onion rings, French fries and cold slaw. A soda fountain was added for drinks
and ice cream-based desserts. In 1962 a miniature golf course and a shuffle board court were added just
north of the restaurant and near the meadow around Merrill Brook.
John Wollen was born in Hudson and educated in Nashua schools. He was the founder and owner of
Meadows until a short time prior to his passing in November 1985. He also operated the McNulty and
Foley catering and function hall when it was located on Amherst Street in Nashua.
The Meadows was destroyed by fire on November 23, 1992, after business was closed for the day. A
neighbor across Central Street noticed the flames and called the fire department. The fire was fought
by the Hudson fire department with assistance from Londonderry, Windham, Nashua and Litchfield. At

The Meadows Restaurant of Hudson Center c. 1977

the time the building was owned by Arthur Bursey of Manchester and the restaurant operated by George
Apostolopoulas of Wilmington, Mass. The Meadows did not re-open following the fire.
Many Hudson residents remember Berk and Son Farm Stand and Scotts Wood Craft which operated on
the northern end of The Meadows parking lot adjacent to Merrill Brook. Little remains of The Meadows
except our own memories of the delicious seafood and the summer evenings playing miniature golf. The
20-plus acres, with 500 feet of frontage onto Central Street which Mr. Wollen purchased in 1947, have
been idle for many years and are on the commercial real estate market.
Todays photo of The Meadows was taken about 1975 at the time of the preparation of The Town In
Transition, an update to Hudsons History.

The Word Around Town...

Letters to our Editor

Consider Your Options

With outrageous ballot access restrictions, the Democrats and Republicans make
it difficult in many states for other party candidates to get their names printed on
the ballots. Now the Libertarians, on the ballot in all 50 States and the District of
Columbia, are being locked out of the debates.
Republicans denouncing Trump are reluctantly suggesting voting for Clinton.
Without even saying so, they pretend she is the only alternative to Trump.
Truth is, if Trump and Clinton each win 267 electoral votes, and Johnson wins
in New Hampshire, the race gets thrown into the U.S. House of Representatives,
where Republican members can vote for a Republican without voting for Trump.
The hanging chads in Florida would have been irrelevant in 2000 if a third party
candidate had won in New Hampshire.
If you vote against Johnson, you are as guilty as all the other voters who prevent
him from winning.
Tom Alciere, Hudson

Encouraged by Ayotte
It takes courage to work with senators outside of your party in order to get done
what needs to be done, but Kelly Ayotte has certainly not been afraid to do so. Our
country is at a pivotal moment with the presidential election coming up. I think
many people, including myself are not happy with our options. I am comforted to
know that Kelly is out there fighting for New Hampshire. If I do not feel confident
in a presidential candidate. I am glad I can at least count on Senator Ayotte to keep
fighting for us. She certainly has my vote.
Noelle Baker, Hudson

Just so You know

You dont have to be a registered Independent to be an independent thinker
in the General Election. I have lived my entire life, save for a brief period, here
in Litchfield. I was raised by my grandmother, Bertha Griffin Crowell, who set a
fine example for me re: nonpartisan thinking and voting. She voted for Franklin
Roosevelt on the one hand and Dwight D. Eisenhower on the other. As a registered
Independent and following her example, I took a Republican ballet in September
so that I could vote for Rich Lascelles and against Kelly Ayotte. I think that this is
certainly the year to thoughtfully make varied voting selection choices.
With independent thinking in mind, consider voting for Donna Soucy, our
incumbent State Senator representing us here in Litchfield as well as southern
Manchester. She has made it a point to involve herself in our local issues and
concerns. She spoke eloquently at the Memorial Day Program this year, and
attended the summer Art Show, both events sponsored by the Litchfield Historical
Society. She has visited businesses here in town and wants to know what she can
do to assist Litchfield citizens, whether its dealing with our clean water crisis or the
drought effecting our farms.
Jon Hopwood is running for Hillsborough County Treasurer for the first time.
Jon, a veteran, has family ties in Litchfield going back generations. (He also spoke
at the Memorial Day Program this year.) He is committed to seeing that Litchfields
small town status doesnt leave us wanting when it comes to needed services and
financial considerations. He is knowledgeable in the possibility of Grant availability
and other funding sources. He is committed to supporting Litchfield.
Again, I ask that you think independently, and vote for both of these fine
candidates, regardless of your Party Affiliation. I believe Donna and Jon will hear
our Litchfield concerns and take note for real action. Thank you.
Gail Barringer, Litchfield

Prepare and Anticipate before Election Day

In a little more than a week, you will be voting on who our next President,
U.S. Senator and Representative, Governor, and all the State and County officers
are going to be. We are expecting a very large turnout for the election. A little
preparation by you will help the day go smoothly and maybe keep the long lines to
a minimum. Please consider the following:
1. If you are not registered to vote, do so before Election Day. The last day
to register is Saturday, Oct. 29. The Supervisors of the Checklist will hold
a session at Town Hall that day. Check the Town website or Cable Access
Channel for times. If you are not sure if you are registered, you can look
yourself up at the Town Clerks Office or in the voter databbase on the
Secretary of States web site, www.sos.
nh.gov.
2.
Review the traffic pattern for
getting to the Community Center. There
are maps posted on the Town website
under Elections and also under the Town
Clerk Department. I believe that the
map will also be on the Cable Channel on
Town Information. If possible, try to vote
outside of the peak times of early morning,
lunchtime and early evening. There will be
99/ton
officers onsite to direct traffic and parking.

Two Good Men Want to Represent Litchfield

in the NH Legislature

Let me first start off by saying I love Halloween.

Absolutely love it. Its definitely a contender for
my favorite holiday. When I celebrate Halloween
it usually consists of a two-to three-day celebration.
I remember in college we went all out and bought
a fog machine and a ton of pumpkins. Well, the
next day, as I was picking up the remnants from the
night before, I could see a plow truck driving by
my house, picking up all the smashed pumpkins
#whoops #sorrynotsorry.
As much as I love the creative drinks, candy,
haunted houses and costumes, believe it or not,
some people take Halloween to a whole nother
Olympic-like level, which I admire and support.
Unfortunately, I just dont have enough time and
money to reach that pinnacle.
The other day I was scrolling through my Twitter
news feed and read that apparently some colleges
(University of Florida) are offering a 24-hour
hotline and
counseling
services for
people who
get offended
by this years
All About
Halloween
costumes. If
you think
about it,
almost every Halloween costume is offensive and
a large majority of them are basically appropriating
other cultures. Heres a list of costumes that are
probably offensive: nun, priest, devil, Native
American, witch, either presidential candidate,
anything when a skinny person dresses as a fat
person, and like a million other things.
The only costume that I believe should be
banned this year is the clown. Nobody likes
clowns and those creepy clown sightings are just
weird and kind of freak me out. Im totally for
banning clown costumes, but thats it. Typically
when a girl dresses up as a nun, schoolgirl, teacher,
Native American, really anything that has a lot less
fabric, her goal isnt to be racist but to attract a
member of the opposite sex (or same sex).
Halloween can literally offend every culture,
race and religion. So if it offends everybody, then
whats the point of crying about it? Im so sick of
everybody getting so offended over everything.
Its obnoxious and repetitive. Are there situations
where you should be offended? Absolutely.
However, if you are a person who gets offended
over every little thing, that offense starts to mean
less and less.
Disney had to pull a costume from their new
movie Moana because it was deemed racist.
Disney does have a past tendency to be racist. I
mean have you seen Dumbo? Thats racism in a
nutshell. I do think they are trying to be less racist
with their newer movies such as The Princess
and the Frog and Moana. Personally, I am very
excited to see Moana. I dont understand whats
offensive about dressing your kid up in a suit with
a slightly darker skin color with tattoos on it.
Maybe I dont get offended as much because
Im white and have no strong religious ties, but I
feel like by banning certain little kid Halloween
costumes because the thick fabric is slightly darker
is kind of racist in and of itself. White people can
only dress up as white people for Halloween, so
sorry, but, if your favorite character has a different
skin tone, you are out of luck.
You dont want to be labeled a racist at the age
of five do you? Little kids intentions are not to
offend anyone; their intentions are to get as much
free candy as possible and show off their costumes
to their friends. Disneys goal in this decade I
dont think is to be offensive or racist; I think its to
make as much money as possible. Again, I could
be totally wrong as this is just coming from your
average white millennial girls perspective.
As always, please e-mail me with your
comments, questions, compliments and complaints
at nicole@areanewsgroup.com. Please try not to
offend anyone this weekend (good luck with that)
and have a safe and super fun Halloween!

These two men are running for office. Im proud to tell you why I think they
deserve your vote on Nov. 8.
Richard (Rich) Lascelles has lived in town since 1979. He has proven his interest
to us by being involved on the School Board for nine years. Rich was the Chairman
of the School Board and was instrumental in the building of Campbell High
School. He was involved with the Recreation Committee shortly after moving
to town. He served as chairman of the committee, coached softball, baseball and
basketball teams. Rich was very instrumental in getting helpers in rebuilding the
inside and outside of Talent Hall and improving the park. He was the leader for
townspeople in field days, parades, summer camp and team sports. With Richs
enthusiasm and leadership, he helped our town grow to what it is today.
Frank Byron is another highly looked up to individual who has proven to me and
others that since 1985 has been a hard worker, fair, honest and willing to put in the
necessary time in all tasks. He served on the Planning Board for three years, and
represented the Board of Selectmen on the Budget Committee. He has been on
the Board of Selectmen for 12 years and chairman for five years. Frank has worked
hard for four years as a representative to the legislature and has served on various
important committees there. He is a man who likes research and will find the
answers to help our town.
These two men know the town, its people, and enjoy helping the town. They
are hard workers and doers rather than talkers. Theyll both be assets for our town
and Im proud of both of them. Wont you please join me in voting for them to
represent Litchfield in the New Hampshire legislature on Nov. 8?

Catholic Women Speak Out

Initially, Hillary called us irredeemable deplorables. Bill Clinton said we
were red necks for not supporting Hillary. Now, comes the ultimate insult. An
attack on our Catholic Faith. The Clinton campaign, in recently released e-mails,
calls us stupid for following the tenets of our faith and they promise a Catholic
Revolution during Hillarys administration (hopefully and prayerfully it never
happens).
After hearing this, Fr. Jonathan Morris spoke to Catholics in the U.S. and
reminded us that what the Clinton campaign is saying about Catholics is complete
bigotry. Fr. Morris conveys to Catholics that we should be outraged at the Clinton
campaign threatening our faith. Hes right!
Hillary Clinton has espoused since 2015 that religious beliefs have to be changed.
Pay attention, my fellow Catholics. In saying this, she means our Catholic beliefs.
It is time for Catholics in the U.S. to unite and defend our faith. As Confirmed
Catholics, we are soldiers in the Army of Christ. We have the Sacramental Grace
we need to stand up to the Clinton campaign and fight for our religious freedom.
Hillary destroyed the Middle East. Do not let her destroy Catholicism, because,
that is her plan. If you treasure your religious freedom to practice your Catholic
Faith, please pray. We have very little time left before the election. Lets show
Hillary how Catholic women in NH fight for our faith. Vote like your religious
freedom depends on it - and - believe me, it does.

The Fall of The United States of America,

Americas Decline
America has never been in such peril as it is today, as a result of the infiltration
of the Red-Green Axis - the Communists, the Muslim Brotherhood and its
political affiliates into the Democratic party and all levels of our government, The
Enemies within. Admiral Ace Lyons.
We the American people seem to be very blind sighted when it comes to all the
compulsive liars in the New Democratic Communist Party. The enemies within
our government Hussein Obama, a Marxist tyrant that has succeeded in destroying
70 percent of our country. Hussein Obamas one and only focus is the downfall of
America, turning America into a Marxist/Communist society. Obama nominated
Sonia Sotomayer to the U.S. Supreme Court, a self-proclaimed Communist, with
the sole intent in destroying our country. Sotomayer who outright discriminates
against male Caucasians.
Elene Ragen, an unfit Supreme Court Judge who is anti-American, antiCapitalism, anti-U.S. Constitution. Elene Ragen, yet another self-proclaimed
Communist who is not fit to be a Supreme Court Justice. Neither adheres to the
United States Constitution and they will not stop with the destruction of our
country of laws. They support the Muslim Brotherhood as did Hussein Obamas
university years.
The sad fact is that Washington is completely out of control ... Congress
is corrupted and incompetent ... and the outgoing Hussein Obama behaves
with nothing but contempt for the U.S. Constitution. We are at a point where
government corruption is as bad as it has ever been in modern American history.
Judicial Watch
Clinton, a left-wing Communist, if elected, will continue to destroy the United
States of America. Already she talks of spending billions upon billions into the
trillions of dollars of our hard work money. lf elected Clinton will nominate
Merrick Garland, another ultra left-wing Marxist that was Hussein Obamas
choice for the Supreme Court. Hence, tilting the communists into a powerhouse
of destruction, with a 6-3 Communist majority. Are we, the people, so blind to

allow Hillary to pick up where Hussein left off? The destruction
of our Constitution, freedom of speech, our right to bear arms.
Clinton-Obama conspiracy attack and cover-up of Benghazi.
Clinton supports illegal aliens and open borders, Clinton wants
sanctuary policies and amnesty for over 11 million illegal aliens.
We already have the hardship of more taxes. Clinton is a puppet of
the Kenya-born illegal president. Clinton is without doubt corrupt
to the core. God save America!

A Second Look at Hillary

candy distributed, courtesy of the Litchfield Lions Club. If you or

your family would like to be Tailgaters, come at 5:30, and please
stay until 8 p.m. This is the first year for the Tailgate Trick-orTreat, and was born out of the fact that many homes on Charles
Bancroft Highway do not get Trick-or-Treaters due to the fact that
it is a highspeed road, heavily trafficked, and unsafe after dark.
Many of the people living along the Charles Bancroft Highway are
long-term residents who miss those masked marvels of yesteryear.
So the Litchfield Lions Club (half of whom live along the Charles
Bancroft Highway) is beginning a new tradition.
The Lions Club is the largest service organization in the world,
with clubs in different communities. Historically they were
encouraged by Helen Keller to help those with vision and hearing
loss. They have since branched into working to eradicate measles,
disaster relief, winter clothing for needy local families, oxygen
masks for the Litchfield Fire Department, a Peace Poster Contest
for middle school students and a scholarship for graduating
seniors. At Christmas they assist the Childrens Librarian at the
Litchfield Library with a Polar Express production that brings
over 100 young children. The Lions Club raises funds for these
events through the Duck Race, selling food at the McQuesten
Farm Oktoberfest, and the Litchfield Recreation Departments
Winterfest. Whenever there is a need in Litchfield, Lions are
there to lend a helping hand. The Litchfield Lions Club meets on
the second and fourth Tuesdays of each month at 7 p.m. in the
Fellowship Hall of Litchfield Community Church. All meetings
are open and guests are welcome. We hope to see many of you
Monday night whether it be participating in the handing of candy
or trick or treating.

So what is Hillary planning for the economy, employment,

education and healthcare?
The economy still isnt delivering for most Americans so shell
double down on the failed policies that stalled the recovery.
The federal governments role now includes daily
micromanagement!
Already Obama has issued more that 20,000 new rules costing
the country over $740,000,000,000.
This regulatory burden hurts us all every day - compliance costs
lead to higher prices, slower wage growth, etc.
America also has the highest corporate tax rate in the
world. And now, businesses are routinely vilified as greedy and
untrustworthy - and ripe for more regulation.
In employment, new jobs have grown, but millions of people
stopped looking for work. Her goal to cut domestic oil production
will not only reduce jobs, it will increase our fuel costs and leave
us dependent on foreign oil. Her willingness to reduce global
Lori Wiley on behalf of the Litchfield Lions
trade will penalize many companies and farmers that depend on
exports, producing more job cuts. How is she going to convince
the countrys real job creators (employers) that they
should invest and expand to provide the 10 million jobs
she promised? Intrusive regulation and threats dont seem
to work.
For education, free college tuition and caps on student
loan repayment look more appealing. However, the CBO
at
reported that over the next 10 years the current program
will cost taxpayers $170 billion. Her own free tuition
and loan forgiveness would cost $35,000,000,000 a year!
Sadly, the students who are supposed to benefit will be
paying for this for their entire working lives with tax
dollars. Consider that in 2015 only 25 percent of grade
12 students were proficient in math and 37 percent in
reading. Our students are often not ready for college or
the workplace. Maybe the emphasis should be on K-12.
As for affordable healthcare, more people enrolled. But
the goal to reduce actual costs remains an empty promise.

John White, Valentinos new owner, is working on some
positive changes for the restaurant. A new menu is out now,
and a new Wine & Cocktails list will be soon to follow.
Valentinos is getting a new website with a whole new look.
It is still under construction and will have a live calendar to
check out the upcoming entertainment and so much more.
Matt DePaolo from Nashua is still the General Manager and
a new Manager has been added to the Valentino family,
Terry DeSimone from Salem. Entertainer Bobby G is in the
dining room on Thursday nights from 6 to 9 p.m. On Friday
and Saturday nights there are always local entertainers in the
Lounge.
In the dining area, there is a section they call the alcove.
It seats 20 people and is great for family gatherings or small
parties. Its private and very comfortable. The main function
room holds up to 90 people and has had anything from
birthday parties to weddings and everything in between. It has
a separate menu and a full bar. This room is filling up quickly
with Holiday Parties but there are still a few openings in
October and November. The outside seating holds 16 people
on the patio, a covered area that is shaded during the day. It is
a great place to have lunch with the beautiful fall weather.
Something new for local Hudson and Litchfield businesses:
Do you have office meetings and company lunches, but you
dont have time to leave and pick up the food? Give us a call
and well deliver it to your office for you. We just need 24hour notice. Dont forget to ask your server about the Rewards
Program.
Valentinos is open every day, Monday through Sunday, at
11:30 a.m. for lunch; the closing hours vary.

Halloween Candy Give-Back Program

at Immediate Care of Southern New Hampshire
Children Give Back to Troops & First Responders

submitted by Southern NH Health System

Taking candy from children is usually frowned upon, but teaching
kids the value of giving back by donating their excess Halloween
candy in support of U.S. Troops and First Responders is a win-win
for kids, parents and Healthcare providers alike.
This Halloween, local trick-or-treaters will join kids across the
nation when they bring their Halloween candy and handwritten
letters of gratitude to any Southern New Hampshire Immediate
Care location. The goodies will be shipped to Operation Gratitude
for inclusion in Care Packages to U.S. Service Members deployed
overseas in harms way and to First Responders serving here at home.
Southern New Hampshire is proud to work with first responders
and representatives of our military in the greater Nashua region, and
proud to support them overseas, says Melissa Wu, MD, Director
of Immediate
Care. This is
a wonderful
opportunity

you for your

alone, 294

Operation

Care Packages that include items such as DVDs, handmade scarves

and hygiene products. Halloween candy is a wonderful addition
to these packages, says Operation Gratitudes founder, Carolyn
Blashek. The candy is a great morale boost for the troops, and a
means to create positive interaction with local children. Equally
important is that the Halloween Candy Give-Back Program provides
every American child the opportunity to learn about service and
generosity.
Candy donations can be dropped off at any Immediate Care of
Southern New Hampshire location, Monday - Friday, 10 a.m. to 8

The Alvirne Varsity Girls Soccer
team finished the season on Thursday,
finding themselves one spot out of the
playoffs. They went 3-1 in their last
four games (all against playoff teams),
but came up just short in the end.
On Oct. 20 the Girls Soccer Team
played their final game of the season at
the first-seeded Bedford High School.
Although the game was scoreless for
the first 20 minutes, the Broncos gave
up two goals before the half. Knowing
that a tie was needed to make the
playoffs, the Broncos played harder in
the second half but came up short with
a 4-0 final score.
On Oct. 18 the Broncos hosted High School on their senior night.
The fifth seeded Winnacunnet team was a
difficult opponent for Alvirne. Kristin DeCost
was the lone difference in the game, scoring
off her own rebound from a free kick at
the top of the 18-yard box. Seniors Grace
Carter had four saves and Dagny Wilkins had
six saves. Seniors included the following:
Olivia Bertrand, Olivia Beverlie, Grace
Carter, Kristin DeCost, Jillian Houle, Brianah
Sellingham, and Dagny Wilkins.
On Oct. 14 the Alvirne Girls hosted
Timberlane High School. Two first-half goals
by Emily Lizotte (assisted by Kathryn Wiggins
and Jane Ostberg) were all the Broncos
needed for a 2-0 final. Dagny Wilkins had
nine saves in net.
On Oct. 11 the Broncos played at
Spaulding High School. Kathryn Wiggins
started the goal scoring early on with a mishit cross that found its way in
the back of the net in the second
minute. Kristin DeCost added
two goals, and Emily Lizotte
and Kelly McDermott each
scored making the final 5-0.
Assists were tallied by Jillian
Houle, Kathryn Wiggins, Brenna
Paquette, and Kristin DeCost
(2). Dagny Wilkins and Brianna
Jones each had a save for the
Broncos.

Comments expressed in this column are the sole views of those callers and do not reflect the views of the Hudson~Litchfield News or its advertisers. Town and school officials encourage
readers to seek out assistance directly to resolve any problems or issues. The Hudson~Litchfield News editorial staff holds the right to refuse any comment deemed inappropriate.
Dear Hudson~Litcheld Readers,
I am sure most of you have tried something that doesnt necessarily go just as you had hoped. Well,
as we reach the end of the two-month trial period of not accepting Thumbs Down, I am sorry to say
that, as of Nov. 4, Thumbs Down will once again be accepted. An overwhelming number of readers
have spoken asking that both sides once again be represented in the column.
But the brass tacks are that things can cause a newspaper to have to defend itself in court will not be
printed. Whether positive or negative, Thumbs should be used to give someone a pat on the back or

friendly reminder that something might not have been just right. Slander will not be published, whether
it is the truth or not. If you have something that you are really upset about, write a Letter to the Editor,
sign your name and it will be printed.
Thumbs from a guerilla e-mail address will not be accepted, and those that are sexual or racial will
not be printed.
I thank any readers who submitted comments in support of the removal of Thumbs Down. The
majority has spoken and you have been outvoted by those who wanted the Thumbs Down reinstated.

Thumbs up to all the people that are out

exercising and enjoying the beautiful season. I
enjoy seeing people of all ages outside. Some
walk slowly, some run fast. Some people have
their dogs with them. I enjoy seeing kids on bikes.
I know that we live in this digital age and that
there are many children and adults who spend far
too much time indoors on a computer or device.
Thats why its especially great to see all sorts of
people taking advantage of the great outdoors. Its
so healthy to spend time in the fresh air.

us and we are getting more like them. Hillary

Clinton is not friends with Putin. The election
of 2020 will determine how much we value our
freedom.

Thumbs up to the all the Presidential campaign

workers. Im talking about the hard work people
are doing, it doesnt matter for which candidate.
To work on a presidential campaign is for some
people a once in a lifetime opportunity and
there are huge teams of people on both sides
who will work endless 24/7 shifts until the last
vote is counted on Nov. 8. There are a lot of us
armchair supporters; there are a lot of people
who dont mind sticking a sign or two in their
yard. Thats great, too. Giving some thought to
the sheer number of man/woman hours it takes
to run a campaign and the teamwork that is
needed is another reason why I am proud to be an
American.
Thumbs up to Donald Trump for showing us,
every day, and during every debate, why there is
only one logical person to vote for this election
year. And that one person is Hillary Clinton!
Thumbs up to Democratic gubernatorial
hopeful Colin Van Ostern and the positive
campaign hes running against Republican Chris
Sununu. In August, Van Ostern became the only
2016 governors candidate endorsed by Planned
Parenthood. Other endorsements include the
mayors of most of New Hampshires largest cities
as well as major unions like United Steelworkers

and the Teamsters, along with most of NHs

Patrolmens Associations. He is also the only
aspirant to release a detailed plan for NH families
on policies ranging from increasing the state
minimum wage and paid family leave to bringing
more girls and women into STEM (science and

Thumbs up. We are finally getting some

truthful TV ads about Kelly
Ayotte. She is just trying to

year paycheck. Thank you.

Thumbs up to Hillary
Clinton for convincing her
followers that she truly cares about children. She
cares so much that she advocates killing them
before they breathe their first breath. She stated
that Margret Sanger is her idol. Sanger started
Planned Parenthood in black neighborhoods to
control their population. Well, as the saying goes
Watch out for false prophets; they come to you in
sheeps clothing.
Thumbs up, a huge thumbs up, to the Alvirne
Girls Varsity Soccer Team for organizing such
a special night! The deannestrong shirts were
awesome and the words said brought me to
tears. Its safe to say my first year of supporting
the girls soccer team was truly special. From the

Psychic Fair Planned

submitted by Jeri Maynard, Hudson Lions Club
The semi-annual Psychic Fair, hosted by the Hudson Lions Club, is
fast approaching! On Saturday, Oct. 29, at the Hudson Community
Center, 12 Lions Ave., in Hudson, eight great psychics will be waiting
for your visit. Readings are scheduled in 15-20 minute intervals
and cost $20 per session. Each psychic specializes in one or more
psychic techniques; information about their individual skills will be
available at the appointment table. Appointments will be made from
10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Start your Christmas shopping early by visiting the unique vendors
that will be on site. A sampling of our vendors are: Younique Girl,
Mary Kay, Jerky and chocolate candy vendors, Massage Therapist,
Scentsy, our Christmas Table, Party Mixes, Dipping Oils, lamps
created from wine/liquor bottles, jewelry, handmade scarves and hats
with more to come. Everyone is welcome to come in and shop at
our vendor tables. A small snack bar will be available for the hungry
amongst us.
All proceeds from the Psychic Fair will go to the Hudson Lions
Clubs charitable causes. Currently, we are focusing on the St. John
XXII Food Bank, the Anne Marie House, both located in Hudson.
In addition, we support Boy Scout Troop 20, maintenance at Lions
Field, Red Cross Blood Drives at White Birch Catering, Santas Visit at
the Community Center, Hudson Baseball/Softball as well as eyesight

The Hudson-Litchfield Bears 9U football team is moving on to the
state championship game on Saturday in Keene after defeating the
Windham Wolverines 22-18 in Laconia on Sunday morning.
Things got off to a rough start as Windham recovered the onside
kick on the opening kickoff, and then pieced together a long drive to
punch in the first touchdown and take a 6-0 lead. The Bears quickly
regained the momentum on the first offensive play of their day, as
Charlie Chaz Crawford went up the middle and then left, breaking
multiple tackles along the sidelines for 52 yards and a TD. The
successful extra point made the score 7-6. The second quarter was a
battle of defenses. The Bears did put together a nice drive that ended
in a TD, but it was called back due to a penalty, and the teams went
to halftime at 7-6.
Windham came out of halftime fired up and put together another
good drive to go ahead 12-7. The Bears quickly responded,
however, as Concrete Scott Hershberger had a big kickoff return
well into Windham territory. After a Bears penalty, the irrepressible
Camren Flash Dillon wound his way through multiple defenders
for a 41-yard TD run to make the score 14-12 Bears.
After defensive stands from both teams, Windham scored on a
long run to go up 18-14 late in the third quarter. But the Bears
came right back with another nice drive, highlighted by more
tough running from Dillon and Crawford, and had the ball on the

Windham 3-yard line as the fourth quarter began. However, an

untimely Bears fumble gave the ball back to Windham on their
2-yard line. A tough Bears defense stifled the opposing offense this
time, and Windham took an intentional safety on 4th down to get
out of danger and make the score 18-16 Windham.
After the free kick, another good Bears drive stalled out on the
Windham 8-yard line, and it was now Windhams ball with the lead
and under four minutes to play. Things were beginning to look grim
for the Bears, especially after Windham got a first down. But the
Bears stiffened on the next three plays, and after a timeout Windham
punted back to the Bears with under 2 minutes to play. The punt
return by Dillon brought the ball to the Windham 28-yard line with
90 seconds left to play and no timeouts.
An 8-yard run by Crawford was quickly followed by a 7-yard
Dillon run that got out of bounds and stopped the clock with 42
seconds to play and the ball at the Windham 13-yard line. Another
power run by Crawford for 7 yards was quickly followed by a Dillon
1-yard run that ended with 9 seconds left. An injured Windham
player forced a stoppage of the clock and allowed the Bears to reset
for a final play.
The final play was a thing of beauty, a 338 Total Sweep: Julian
Juju Goode and Zach Big Z Carter fired out on the left side of
the line, center Devin D-Dog Scott made a perfect snap and block
on the middle linebacker, and right guard and tackle Andrew Dice

Deely, Dante Trombley, and Ryan Rhyno Rocheleau took care

of the left side of the Windham defensive line. Left guard Shayne
Mack Mackey pulled to the right and leveled the biggest Windham
lineman, Crawford helped to seal off the linebackers, and Shawn
Boogie Boudreau made the biggest block of his life by stuffing
Windhams best player at the goal line as Dillon busted into the end
zone for a Bears victory as the clock ran out! The booming response
from the Bears fans registered 2.2 on the Richter scale and woke up
the entire town of Laconia.
Head Coach Keith Deely, who is the kind of man other men aspire
to be, said Well as expected this one was a real nail-biter! We
knew coming into this semi-final game that Windham was a solid
team and they came out ready to play by forcing a turnover on the
opening kick and immediately scoring an early TD. We committed
some untimely penalties and lost a fumble near the Windham goal
line late in the game, but we still managed to pull it out late in the
game. These kids just find a way to hang in there and get the job
done week after week, and I am incredibly proud of this team. On
to the championship to face the other undefeated team Bedford so
our task doesnt get any easier. We will prepare hard this week and
give them our best shot.
The state championship game against Bedford, who, like the
Bears, is also undefeated during the last two regular seasons, will be
held at Keene High School at 8 a.m. on Saturday.

Friday afternoon was the last home game of the regular

season; also the final game of the season and the boys
prevailed in a big way with an 8-0 win over Somersworth

(6-10). Soccer fans rarely see

scores this lopsided; the game
was exciting as Somersworth
was a somewhat colorful team
until the referee took out the
yellow card on their goalie.
Prior to the game Campbell
recognized the senior players
and their families.
Campbells seeding at
number 7 means that on
Thursday Fall Mountain came
to Litchfield with their 10-6
record; Campbell did not play
the Wildcats in the regular
season. As the Cougars
prevail, Oct. 30 at 2 p.m. is the
next round. It is at the home of
the higher seed. The semifinal
game is on Nov. 2 at Laconia
at 4 p.m. and the finals are at
SNHU on Nov. 5 at 1:45 p.m.

After Two Days of Play, Broncos Didnt Score Until Final Second

Hudson~LitchfieldSports
by Len Lathrop
When, on Monday, Kishon Chapman crossed the
goal line, the Memorial Field clock was at zero, and
the Broncos could not even try for the points after,
but it would not have made a difference - the Keene
Blackbirds had an 18-point total next to their name.
This contest started on Friday night. It was raining,
everything was going relatively well; well I guess it
matters where you were standing. Yes, Alvirne was
down by six points and everyone was wet. Wet is
one of those words that has different degrees for
everyone. There were five seconds left in the first
quarter and then there was a light in the sky and a
mandatory 30-minute delay from the last lightning
sighting was in effect. Teams went to the locker
rooms and fans were ushered in to the cafeteria.
The sky continued to light up and the game was
rescheduled for Monday afternoon at 4 p.m.

In the rain on Friday Mason Miller looks

for a place to run.

Monday the sun was out and the field had

drained; the Broncos kicked to the Blackbirds
and the contest was back underway. Up until the
Chapman run from the 41-yard line, the Broncos
had played hard but had less than 50 yards of
forward progress to show for it. Mason Miller was
the workhorse for the Broncos, but there just were
the holes in the middle for him to get past the line
of scrimmage. Was it the Keenes linebackers that
plugged the gaps?
Keene is only 2-4 on the season and Alvirne
should have been able to make some headway. Fans
saw some great tackling from many of the Broncos
including Mike Braccio and Griffin Carbonneau and
others.
Alvirne closes their season on Friday against 7-1
Exeter.

On Monday Alvirnes Griffin Carbonneau heads

upfield with the ball from a Keene kick.

Cougars Grind Their Way into Playoff Berth

The throw - Adam Breton let one fly toward Spencer Stanium.

by Len Lathrop
Saturday afternoon it was still raining on
and off, maybe a drizzle would be a better
word, especially after teams across southern
New Hampshire learned what rain was like the
night before. But Coach Gush had a plan and
the Campbell Cougars took it to a team with the
exact record they had. The pre-game sideline
talk was who ever won would be in the playoffs
and the losers would probably not be in a game
on Nov. 5.
All season fans watched CHS #30 move the
ball; now the field is wet, even after the drizzle
has stopped, what better plan than to Let Ryan
Run. Ryan Yanuszewski took the handoff 29
times for 173 yards. As he scampered he did
find the goal line twice for touchdowns.
Dont be fooled into thinking that there
werent some nerves as the Bears marched on
the first possession of the game to the end zone
in eight plays. Winnisquam was up 8-0 with
just over two minutes off the game clock.
The Cougars defense was first for the home
team to put points on the scoreboard, when
a broken play by the Bears occurred. Bears
handed off to their running back, Blaise Ross,
who, when trapped in the end zone, threw the
ball out of bounds; this was flagged with an
intentional grounding penalty and the Cougars
were on the board with two points from the

safety.
Campbell moved into the lead 9 to 8
moving down the field in two plays and
Yanusezewski put six on the score with an over50-yard run. The extra point was good off the
foot of Spencer Stanium.
The Bears continued to play hard and found
their way into the end zone as the second
quarter started and made a 2-point conversion,
score now 14-9 for the visitors.
However, just before the half, Yanusezewski
was again in the end zone and Adam Breton
tossed to Stanium for the two point extra points.
As the buzzer sounded it was CHS 17, WHS 14.
Third period excitement came as Devin
Ventura got both in front of a Bears punt forcing
it high into the air and into the end zone when
Ventura covered it up for seven more points,
another Stanium kick made it 24-14.
The Bears struggled in trying to move the
ball and in the fourth period Stanium grabbed a
pass from Breton for the final Cougar score, and
Stanium put it in between the goal posts for the
extra point making the final 31-14.
It appears that Coach Gush and his staff will
have to be ready to play on Nov. 5, when the
D3 NHIAA playoff begins, but lets not look
past next weeks game against 2-4 Franklin in
Franklin.

Thursday was the final game of the regular season for the Girls Soccer team.
Newport was at Litchfield, the 5-10 Tigers played above what their record would
indicate. It took an overtime period before the Cougars would prevail on a goal
from Erin Douglas. While a win is very good, it must have been bittersweet for
the senior members of the squad, but as the number 2 seeded team in the NHIAA
Division 3 bracket, they would have another game at home in front of the red and
black fans.
With a record of 14-1 the Ladies have a bye in the first round of the playoffs,
which began on Wednesday, Oct. 26. Berlin High School and Conant High
School would battle and the winner will play the Cougars on Saturday at 2 p.m.
Conant has a record of 9-7 and was defeated by Campbell in the first game of the
season on Aug. 26 and Berlin posted a record of 9-5. Campbell and Berlin did not
have a contest this season.
With a win on Saturday the Cougars will then play in the semi-final found at
Laconia High School on Nov. at 4 p.m., and when they prevail they will be in the
final on Nov. 6, also at Laconia High School.
Campbells only loss this season was on Sept. 16 by one goal to Fall Mountain
High School. Fall Mountain went undefeated this season but if both teams prevail,
the finals would be the first chance that they would meet again.
