by Laurie Jasper Continental Academie of Hair Design in Hudson is celebrating its 40th anniversary. Named Best of Hudson Salons the last ve years in a row, Continental Academie has been family owned and operated since opening in 1973. Owners Rhona Charbonneau and Alida Weergang built several successful hair salons in the area prior to 1973. Their rst salon, Continental Crimping, opened in 1964 at Lowell Road and Central Street, which would later be the location of Hetzers Bike Shop. While traveling through Europe, Rhona and Alida were inspired by the foreign salons and wished to offer their customers a more continental beauty experience than most of the shops of the day, and their salons dcor represented the style and service they wished to provide. In 1966, with the success of their rst salon, they were able to open a second location on Main Street in Nashua. When they were ready to expand the business once again, Rhona and Alida tried an innovative move by separating the treatment and service rooms, allowing for a more intimate experience. While this is now a current trend, it was a new approach in the 1960s. Their third expansion in 5 years was located in Simoneau Plaza in Nashua and named Continental Hair, Fashion and Wig Design. Always staying current with trends while offering excellent customer service, they incorporated special bridal areas and a mens section, and even had a special childrens section complete with a mini motorcycle for the young clients to ride while having haircuts! In 1974, their Royal Ridge Mall location in Nashua opened, with a black and white, Art Deco, Great Gatsby motif. This was one of the rst salons in the area to offer separate skin care facilities and European facials. As busy salon owners, Rhona and Alida faced the challenge of nding qualied employees who met their high standards. Thus, in 1973, they opened Continental Academie of Hair Design in Hudson, not 500 feet from its current location. They moved into their current spot, 102 Derry Street, in 1981, which more than doubled

Sisters Alida Charbonneau (standing) and Rhona Wollenhaupt their space. Also in 1981, they purchased Houles Beauty School in Manchester, which became Continental Academies second location. Continental Academies success can certainly be attributed to Rhona and Alidas shared commitment to being leaders in cosmetology education. Rhonas strong business background, combined with Alidas talent in the hair styling eld, offered their students the most current curriculum while also focusing on the important basics of styling and customer care. Alida Weergang is originally from the Netherlands and is an accomplished hair stylist. She studied extensively in England, France, Spain and Germany and has received many awards and accolades. She was on the United States Hairstyling Team, which placed rst for the world championships in Germany. Alida also won the Rose DOr de Paris, Frances highest award for hairstyling.

Early photo of current location of Continental Academie Rhona Charbonneau and her late husband, Claude, raised their family in Hudson. In the 1980s and 1990s, Rhona was active in politics and was elected to the State Senate. Rhona is also a former long-time Hudson Selectman. While Rhona Charbonneau and Alida Weergang remain involved with the business, the next generation administers the daily operations of the salon. Rhona Charbonneaus daughters, Rhona Wollenhaupt and Alida Charbonneau, grew up sweeping the oors and folding towels. Each graduated from the Continental Program. In addition, Rhona Wollenhaupts daughter, Ashley (Wollenhaupt) Coleman, began working at Continental in 2009, the third generation to be involved in the business. Like her mother and aunt, Ashley has also been a part of the school her whole life. She is the Director of Financial Aid for Continental. We teach the most current and latest trends, but also the basics. We want our students to succeed. They love what theyre doing. They receive a strong foundation, and from that foundation you build, said Rhona W. Her sister, Alida C., said, Weve learned to go with the ebb and ow of the latest needs of the industry, yet always stress clean, neat, safe, organized. We set our standards higher than the State Board standards, because we know our students can do it. The course of study not only qualies students for the state cosmetology licensing exam but also allows them to enter the job market with the most current knowledge and skills. Students learn all aspects of the business, from scheduling, extensive retail training, presentation and customer service. Forty-eight percent of cosmetologists are either self-employed or own their own business, said Rhona W. Continental was completely renovated in 2010, with updates to the students salon clinic area, reception area, manicure and pedicure and spa rooms. At one time the school offered housing, but that area is now used for ofces. The Hudson business is now the only location. continued to page 9- Continental

Hudson Native Robert Richard Tells of his Mingling with the Stars
by Tom Tollefson For many of us, meeting a celebrity is a brief and rare moment. Not for 75year old Robert Richard. The Hudson native has met and socialized with some of Americas most notable names. Richards career in showbiz during the 1950s and 60s allowed him to rub elbows with these rich and famous faces. The seeds for his love for the showbiz world go back to his days of selling candy at plays put on by the Hudson Players, the only theater group in the area at the time. He was only about 12, but remembers becoming engrossed in theater after seeing plays put on by Hudson Players such as Ghost Train and See How They Run. I just wanted to act. I probably just wanted to be someone other than myself, Richard said. Later on from eighth to 12th grade, Richards passion for theater continued to grow at Alvirne High School. continued to page 6- Robert Richard

Scarecrow Jamboree at GMS

submitted by V. Mango On Friday October 25, Grifn Memorial School held its 31st annual Scarecrow Jamboree. The scarecrows were all created by the third and fourth grade students. An impressive showing of 70 scarecrows and 105 students participated this year. For the past 30 years Mrs. Cullen Kent has been the advisor for the event and this year she passed the torch to Victoria Mango, who added a few new twists to the event. The students who participated in the jamboree showed amazing creativity and imagination and did a fantastic job keeping the jamboree exciting and fun for all. Scarecrows that were submitted to name a few were The Beatles, Uncle Si, Evil Minion, Dunkin Doughnuts, Amelia Earhart, traditional scarecrows, and even recycling scarecrows were entered. The theme this year was to recycle, reuse and repurpose materials in creating the scarecrows. The students really did a fantastic job at keeping this event environmentally friendly. Along with ribbons and prizes the participants also were graced with extreme generosity by the community as well. Haleys Pizza donated pizza for pizza parties to the two top participating classrooms, and McQuestens farm donated sugar pumpkins to every student who participated in the jamboree. The event was a great success! Thank you to all who participated, volunteered, donated and organized to make this event special for the students of GMS.

The Word Around Town...

Letters to our Editor
Rational or Irrational?
I cant seem to be anything but amused at reading the thumbs up/ downs in this paper. I believe it always boils down to the same vitriolic few that are too ashamed to write a letter and sign their name so we can all know who is rational or irrational. Those who cannot logically argue their point feel that they must personally attack anyone with a different viewpoint. In last weeks paper I expressed my opinion about our school district union tactic to undermine education using their own assessments and summation of their own behavior. I did not fabricate what they did. I did not paraphrase it nor state anything other than exactly what they said they did in the prior weeks article penned by the union president. What we all got to see however, is the childish personal attacks by the same folks that would hope to stifle any person who dares speak out against what was a very disturbing course of events. Not imagined by me, but detailed by the very organization that perpetrated the behavior upon our children and this community. Fortunately, I have a thick skin. Unfortunately, those that are a bit more timid, and possibly with much more to contribute, stay far away from helping heal this divide in our community because of these type of incessant attacks on those that desire more, and better from those that at times spend more time with our children. I can say unequivocally that we have some very superb folks in our district. The behavior of a few has a very detrimental impact to those folks that want to do the very best for our children to have to feel the pressure from the union to do things that arent in our communitys best interests. That is why I thanked Ms. Leite, last week. For having the courage to publically disclose what they had chosen to do and to recognize the harm it caused. The question then to the voting public is whether or not we choose to reward the behavior. As for the cowards that live to try and destroy others in the shadows of thumbs down. Rational people understand your irrationality. Please do continue as it does nothing but help rational people see the difference. Finally, I am disappointed that our School Board knew from the beginning about the work slow down and disservice to our students and chose to say nothing of it. I, for one would have appreciated it if the Board would have at the very least acknowledged it was happening. Publically. Then reassured parents by telling us what the expected impact was going to be and how to work around it to ensure the least possible negative impact on our children. Jason Guerrette, Litchfield shape, so it can go undiagnosed for years. My name is Vincent Kanhai-Singh and I was diagnosed with COPD in 2002 and I am a volunteer and a Board Member at Breathe New Hampshire. I am a dedicated supporter of their mission to eliminate lung disease and to improve the quality of life for those living with lung disease. If you know someone who has symptoms of COPD, such as a chronic cough, shortness of breath or difficulty taking a deep breath, encourage them to get a breathing test. Finding and managing COPD early can help you breathe better and live longer. As a volunteer with Breathe New Hampshires Lung Health Awareness Team, we are offering free COPD screenings in November across the state in recognition of COPD awareness month. Get a free breathing test in Nashua at Walgreens, 283 Main Street on Thursday, November 14, from 1 to 3 p.m. or at Courville Communities, 22 Hunt Street on Monday, November 18, from 1 to 4 p.m. Smoking is the most common risk factor for COPD but other things like prolonged exposure to dust, fumes and secondhand smoke in the workplace and at home, may also put you at risk for COPD. Genetics may also play a role. I encourage you to take advantage of this free test and urge others to check out their lungs. Visit www.breathenh.org for a list of free COPD screening sites being held in NH this November during COPD awareness month. Vincent Kanhai-Singh, Litchfield

Learning About COPD

Did you know that COPD or Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease is the third leading cause of death in our country? And it is estimated that as many as half of those living with it do not yet know it? COPD symptoms come on slowly and are often brushed off as a sign of aging or being out of

In My Opinion...

Gender Matters
The recent shutdown of the federal government was an unnecessary and costly embarrassment. Of course, there are strongly held views in our nations capital and in every American community. Some of the political issues are difcult ones. That really hasnt changed, though, over the course of American history. There have always been strong differences over how we should govern ourselves. In an age where we are facing erce international competition from the likes of China and many other countries, one would think that our federal government should be as united as ever to put our people in the best competitive position. It is folly to think that we can thrive without a strong national government leading us into the future. And, that brings me to the way in which the government shutdown was nally brought to an end. We can thank many of our female United States senators and congresswomen for communicating with each other and reaching a compromise solution. Time Magazine recently wrote, Women are the only adults left in Washington. I wouldnt go so far as to say that, but the point is worth noting. Women make up more than half of the entire population in the United States, but our United States Senate is occupied by only 20 percent female senators. In Congress it is less only 17.9 percent. Many make a case that we need more women representing us in Washington and in all levels of government. Certainly, New Hampshire, with its all female federal delegation, is doing its part. There is hardly any political issue that does not warrant compromise. Weve all heard the old axiom that politics is the art of compromise. That has been in short supply in Washington. For whatever the reason, women in politics seem to have more of an ability to negotiate and compromise than their male counterparts. Surely, at least, the inuence of women in the entire negotiation process is important, just as it is to have Democrats, Republicans, and independents contribute to the decision-making. Not only will our country benet from higher participation of female elected representatives, so will our states and municipalities. According to the November edition of Gender Matters, a publication of the New Hampshire Womens Initiative (www. nhwi.org), New Hampshire women make up 51 percent of our population, with a respectable 34 percent of our representation in the Statehouse. Women are underrepresented in municipal government, though. We have only 198 women out of 734 elected ofcials in our cities and towns, only 21 percent female. Only two of our 13 cities have female mayors. Over my many years in New Hampshire political ofce, I have observed the leadership styles of female Governors, female Presidents of the Senate, and female Speakers of the House. Without disparaging the leadership by many ne male elected ofcials, I have seen the contribution of their female counterparts to a debate process that is less acrimonious, but still effective, and legislation that has strengthened our state.

by Debora B. Pignatelli

There is a lot to be said for the contribution made by women in politics. If we could approach the point where the percentage of female elected ofcials in all levels of government nears the 50 percent mark, more proportionate to the overall population, I think we will all benet from it.

Laurel Place Spooks their Guests

Residents of Laurel Place, Carolyn Beaulieu, Kay the dog and a trick-or-treater. by Gloria Lavoie Tiny goblins, sweet witches and friendly devils visited the residents of Laurel Place for a fun and safe alternative to traditional trick-or-treating. They scored tons of candy, made new friends and put smiles on the faces of the many residents at Laurel Place in Hudson, an assisted living community. The halls and gathering rooms were decked out for the holiday. The residents and staff dressed in costume and greeted children and their families during what would normally be a very quiet time of evening in the 24 room facility. Carolyn Beaulieu, Activity Coordinator at Laurel Place brought in decorations from home to decorate, The residents told me where they wanted everything. Its their gig, Beaulieu explained. Her adorable and friendly dog, Kay, who also works at the home, was also in costume, to the delight of the children who haunted the halls. It is Beaulieus third Halloween at Laurel Place, and she admits its her favorite activity. We even had a howling contest earlier, she said.

Barkley Halloween Offered a Good Scare

by Len Lathrop Who is the man behind the walls? And what are all the equipment and wires for? For the last 14 years, John Barkley and his friends have spent the two months before Halloween planning and creating a haunted house designed to bring a truly frightful experience to all those who dare to attend. If the name Barkley sounds familiar, it is because Jeanie Barkley was a beloved volunteer in the schools, the Girl Scouts, and other local groups. Unfortunately, in December 2007, she lost her battle with aplastic anemia, a rare bone marrow disease which causes your body to stop making blood cells and platelets. Membership in the recent JBMF 300 Club fundraiser included an invitation to come see what John and friends had done to his garage for this Halloween. The tan house was turned blue with spooky smoke that drifted over the yard. Entering the garage in groups of three or four, willing victims were ushered into the catacomb of hallways and rooms, where the patients and staff of the Paradise Asylum met you, some greeting you and others just scaring you. The elevator actually moved as you went from one level of the hospital to another. Doors opened and closed with constant noise and sounds keeping you on your toes. The lights, or absence thereof, guided you from one scene to the next. Actors (Johns daughter and their friends) moved and appeared in many different asylum roles, including a doctor to help keep the inmates in line. Watching these kids in action was a truly amazing thing! To learn more about the JBMF and its support of the community, visit www.jeaniebarkley.net and mark your calendar for the annual blood drive June 13, 2014. Where else do you think all the blood for the lunatic asylum comes from?

The students of Campbell High School are denitely enthusiastic about taking on this legendary show. Director Deleault is pleased to have dozens of talented students involved on and offstage, as well as a production team of four choreographers, a pit band conductor, and multiple student stage managers to bring the show to life. Show times for Guys and Dolls are Friday, November 22 at 7 p.m.; Saturday, November 23 at 7 p.m.; and Sunday, November 24 at 2 p.m.. All performances will take place in the Campbell High School auditorium. Admission is $10 for adults, $5 for students, and free for children 6 and under.

Hugh something. He proceeded to x me with a tall scotch and soda while in my twenty-year-old cocky way asked him what was his claim to fame. He said he was a writer and publisher. I found him rather boring and was relieved when other members of the cast arrived, Richard said, remembering his encounter with Hugh Hefner, the infamously controversial adult magazine owner. It wasnt until years later that I realized who he was. Soon after these encounters, Richard left Chicago for the lure of the theater life in New York City. Thats the place where theater is and where television was and I just wanted to be in the golden age of television, he said. Myerson, who had her own show titled The Big Payoff, helped Richard get a job for CBS Television as an usher. I worked on shows such as The Ed Sullivan Show, where I seated Cecil B. DeMille, saw many, many celebrities and when directing the audience out the side door of the theater telling them to watch their step. I told Wilt Chamberlain to watch his head, Richard said. Richard also worked on Myersons show The Big Payoff as a lead usher and had to re future Peoples Court interviewer Doug Llewelyn for goong off and sleeping in the balcony. During his time at CBS, Richard also assisted journalist Walter Cronkite during the ve hour national coverage of an off-year election. Richard could be seen on national television continuously over the course of the ve hour national telecast, as he brought the ticker tape results to Cronkite. Richard referred to this as his 15 minutes of fame. I got letters from friends and relatives all over the country who saw me on national news, Richard said. Thirty-ve years later, my Chicago landlady sent me a picture of me with Walter Cronkite which her boyfriend had taken off their television set. Richard also worked CBS as an assistant production manager and then worked in the accounting department. His celebrity run-ins continued with frequently saying hi to Carol Burnett and engaging in some brief small talk with the comedy icon. She is the most down to earth person Ive ever met. She was a real person. She didnt put on any airs as far as being snobby or anything, Richard said about Burnett. In later years, Richard received an apology from actress Judy Garland (famous for her starring role as Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz) at a Boston Club. Garland came into the club and a crowd followed her as a result. She then apologized to Richard for bringing in such an uproar of fans and extended her cheek for him to kiss. I think she thought I was the owner. I always stood around like I owned the place, Richard said. Richards celebrity sightings and encounters also included Mike Wallace, Edward Murrow, Gordon McCray, Diana Ross, Jack Dempsey, and Jerry Herman among many others. Today, Richard resides in Hudson. Its not just a town he grew up in, but the same town where he found his lifelong love for theater and entertainment. It was the pursuit of this eld that led him to have encounters with stars that few of us have had or will ever have in the future.

Richards time in the school theater group afforded him opportunities to make connections with the stars as well as immerse himself in the entertainment world and hone his acting skills. One of these opportunities Richard remembers well is a trip he and three other Alvirne Drama Club members took to the Shubert WE DELIVER! - hurry while supply last Theatre in Boston to see Carol Channing perform in the play Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. On another trip to Boston, Richard had a chance to chat with notable Boston drama critic Elliott Norton. After graduation, Richard then moved to Chicago to attend Goodman Theater School of the Art Institute of Chicago where he had many more celebrity run-ins. One such celebrity was Gloria Foster, who played the Oracle in the Matrix series. * Richard met Foster when he performed a soliloquy for her class and appeared in a play * with her at Goodman Theater.

A motto at Continental is, Family is what we are. Family is what you become, and the owners are proud to now be teaching children of former students. Many graduates stay in touch and often stop in to visit or be a guest presenter. Our mother always taught us the importance of giving back to the community and our industry, and we are proud that we have contributed over $10,000 in charity work the last few years, said Rhona W. In addition, Continental Continental Students outside gets involved in various fundraisers, such as the recent Making Strides for Breast Cancer walk. Rhona Charbonneau and Alida Weergang now split their time between Hudson and Florida and are doing well.

In My Opinion...
The rst piece of writing my daughter ever draftedoutside of rst-grade class work was a letter to her kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Malinowski. Mrs. M was a very kind, patient woman whose gentle approach to teaching small children was very effective. By the end of her rst grade year, my daughter still missed her beloved kindergarten teacher. She wondered how Mrs. Malinowski was doing - and more importantly - wanted Mrs. M to know she was thankful for the gift of reading and writing. I suggested to my daughter that she write a letter to Mrs. M. and tell her. A couple of weeks later, my little girl received a letter addressed to her. Mrs. Malinowski responded to Christinas letter with a lovely letter of her own, written on delicate lacy stationary, thanking Christina for thinking of her, and expressing hope that she was enjoying school. My daughter was thrilled to have gotten a response. It was not only that her teacher still remembered her; it was the rst time the art of writing - of putting her heart and thoughts on a page - brought with it a rewarding outcome. It was also the rst time Christina realized that teachers valued her appreciation for what they did. As each school year drew to a close, my daughter carried on the tradition of thanking her teachers with a note, poem or letter. And she has had so many teachers to thank. Third grade teacher Ms. Stearns awakened in Christina the ability to craft ction;

Thanks to Litchfield Teachers

fourth grade teacher Mrs. Ash, made learning fun, and introduced Christina to The Beatles. Seventh grade science teacher Ms. Gault combined humor, science and The Beatles in a tour du force of instruction. Mr. Keefe and Mr. Gingras combined wit with instruction. Mr. OKeefe, high school chemistry wizard, amazed, inspired and encouraged. Ms. Brown honed my daughters critical thinking skills, made her a more enlightened reader and a talented essayist. Mr. Perreault - perhaps Abraham Lincoln reincarnated brought history to life. Mr. Orban gave her laboratory skills well beyond high school level. There are many more: far too many to mention. With each year and each subject, Christinas love of the learning process grew. Not surprisingly, her deep appreciation for the gifts her teachers gave her, were reected in her report cards, and ultimately, in the college that accepted her. In spirit, my daughter has now taken all of these wonderful teachers with her to college, where their lessons still resonate. She has become engaged with the world outside, deepening her knowledge of science, math and literature. She continues to be concerned about the status of women in other countries, and with politics on a national and international scale. Each individual teacher had some part in shaping the person she has become. How can I possibly begin to thank these teachers for these great gifts they have given to my child? Teachers inuence who our children become; and in doing so, have an important role to play in shaping our community, and ultimately the country in which we live. We owe it to our children to provide them with the best teachers. We owe it to our teachers to provide them with the tools they need and the thanks they deserve.

Inter-Lakes Volleyball Extinguished Cougar Tournament Hopes

November 8, 2013 - 11

Hudson~Litchfield Sports

by Len Lathrop The playoffs started on Halloween for the Campbell volleyball team, but there were no tricks when Portsmouth Christian of Dover entered the Cougar Den as the 13th ranked team with a record of 7-9. These teams had met once before during the regular season when Campbell defeated the Eagles 2-3 in the Cougar den on September 6. The Cougars played as a team and worked hard, at the conclusion of 3 games they had defeated the Eagles, The next contest was Saturday at 6 p.m. in the Cougar Den where fourth ranked Campbell challenged fth ranked Inter-Lakes High School of Meredith. The two teams did not met during regular season play, but both were ready Saturday night. The close match up promised a good contest, and the fans were treated to a back and forth battle with many lead changes in all three games. NHIAA tournament for Girls Volleyball are based on the best of ve games. The rst set ended 27-25, the nal point was awarded on a net violation after it was tied at 25 in favor of Inter-Lakes. Campbell came back in the second set, supported by great team play and outstanding work by Senior Captain Alex Trevains. The Cougars led 21-23. On a bad call of double touch it was the score tied at 23-23, with Inter-Lakes taking control of the middle by #25 Jordan Donohue and #22 Jessica Schoeld. Set three was tied at 11 and then with several questionable calls it was 22-16, with Inter-Lakes taking the nal set 25-18. After the game Campbells Coach Walker spoke of both teams playing very competitively and that sets one and two could have

gone either way as is what you should have when number 4 ranked team meets the number 5 ranked team, both sets were won by one or two points. He was very proud of the Cougars they fought as a team, working together and each one of them gave it their all. Looking forward Campbell has only three players graduating, Captain Rebecca Landrau, Captain Alex Trevains and Captain Brianna Hardy.

High School Football Playoffs

by Mike Bourk NHIAA Offsides in Playoff Seedings The NHIAA released the NH high school Division III football playoff brackets and the selections and seeding are in a word, horrible. The NHIAA opted to take the top two teams from each of four brackets and have them play against each other. Heres what the schedule looks along with their nal overall ranking: #2 Bow (7-1) at #1 Pelham (8-0) #4 Newport (6-2) at #3 Stevens (6-2) #12 Bishop Brady (4-4) at #9 Epping-Newmarket (4-4) #10 InterLakes-Moultonborough (4-4) at #5 Gilford (6-2) Missing the playoffs are: #6 Campbell (5-3) #7 Mascoma Valley (5-3) #8 Somersworth (4-4) Outside Looking In Campbells situation is particularly egregious as their only losses were to Pelham, Bow, and Somersworth. The Cougars beat Bishop Brady, Stevens, and Epping-Newmarket all of whom made the playoffs. Bishop Brady did not beat any team with a winning record this season. Their four wins came against teams with a combined record of 5-28. InterLakes-Moultonborough also has not beaten a team with a winning record. Their four wins came against teams that were 6-26. Gilford at 6-2 has yet to beat a team with a winning record. To The Victor Go The Spoils This may be true in other high school sports where the upper seeds host the lower seeds. This is not the case in football. For an unexplained reason football is divided into four subdivisions. Two teams from each division make the playoffs regardless of their won/ loss record. Those two teams play against each other in the rst round. For the 2013 season that means second ranked Bow plays at ranked Pelham and fourth seeded Newport plays at third rated Stevens. In the other games a ninth ranked team is hosting a number 12 rated team and a number 5 team hosting a number 10 ranked team. Teams In Other Divisions Suffer As Well This situation is not unique to Division III. In Division I the number 5 rated Bedford (7-2) and number 7 rated Bishop Guertin (6-3) have been left out of the playoffs while Londonderry (4-5) will be playing on Saturday. In Division II Milford and St. Thomas, both with 6-3 records, miss the playoffs while Kennett and Sanborn at 5-4 both make the playoffs. A Better Solution I never understood the need to create a playoff structure for football that varies from every other high school team sport. If the NHIAA insists on the 4 subdivisions only the top team should be guaranteed a playoff spot and host the rst game and select the 4 visiting teams from the remaining teams. A less desirable but still fairer than the existing format would be to have teams in each division split into two subdivisions, East and West, using a dividing line similar to what the CHAD All star game uses. Some type of a change has to be made. A change in the NH high school football playoff structure is needed. To rewarding mediocre teams with a playoff spot while slighting much better and more deserving teams, makes no sense.

Lady Broncos Lose in Quarterfinals
at 1-1 midway through the second half. With the game remaining scoreless in two 10 minute overtimes, it unfortunately meant the game would be decided by penalty kicks. The Broncos sent Heather Barkley to the penalty hash mark rst and she squeaked one in which brushed under the top of the crossbar for the 1-0 lead in PKs. Goalkeeper Sammi Giannelli came up with a stop on the rst Saints kick. Kayla Juliano put her PK away cleanly giving Alvirne a 2-0 lead. Giannelli again stopped the second PK by the Saints preserving the slim 2-0 lead after two rounds of kicks. The Broncos missed the next two PKs but Giannelli saved one of the next two Saints shots for a 2-1 lead going into the nal shot for each team. Erin Rosier placed the ball low to the right side of the Saints keeper and it managed to make it through the goalies hands giving Alvirne the 3-1 lead and the victory to push them into the quarternal round. Giannelli only had 12 saves in the contest but none of those saves were more impressive than the three saves in the penalty shot portion of the game. Alvirne would face Coe Brown in their quarternal round, again a team that they had lost to two weeks earlier in the season by the score of 3-2. That was perhaps one of the best games the Lady Broncos played all season, so their hopes were high for this quarternal match-up. It was a beautiful fall day with temperatures in the high 60s, the sun was shining and the stands were packed with fans. I cant say enough about how the support of the other Alvirne teams, the parents, relatives, friends and the entire Hudson and Alvirne community meant to the girls, explained McAdam. All of the fall teams have done well this season, something to be very proud of. Alvirne played hard and continued with their domination of time of possession, but unfortunately, they could not nd the back of the net. The Broncos had a momentary lapse of focus in the rst ve minutes of the game and allowed Coe Brown to put a free ball away for a 1-0 lead. Despite again out shooting their opponent, the Broncos faced one of the nest goalkeepers in the state and she showed why she is an All State candidate with 12 saves, three of which looked like sure goals were it not for outstanding saves. With a hot goaltender and their ability to take advantage of some Bronco mistakes, combined with an injury to striker Danielle Ross which forced the Broncos to go deep into their bench, Coe Brown took a 1-0 victory moving them onto the seminal round of the NHIAA Division 2 playoffs and ending the hopes of the Broncos and their fans. We nished 12-5-1 and have had an outstanding season, remarked Coach Lance McAdam. Assistant coaches Emily Ingram and Christine Cochrane played an instrumental role in helping this team to develop. With the play and leadership of our veteran seniors (Heather Barkley, Sabrina Carter, Brittney Lambert, Tori LaRoche, Morgan Knight, Marie Morrier and Shantelle Lacasse) and the talented underclassmen (juniors Brianna Wiggins and Sarah McAdam, sophomores Danielle Ross, Sammi Giannelli, Hannah Croce, Erin Rosier, Kayla Juliano, Tana Tufts and Marianne Poulin and

by Sue LaRoche The Alvirne Lady Broncos made the most of what they had this season nishing the regular season with a record of 11-4-1, good enough for a fourth place seed in NHIAA Division 2 girls soccer. This seeding earning the Lady Broncos two home playoff games something that has not happened in Alvirne girls soccer for many years. If you had told me we would be in this place at the start of the season, I would have said Ill take that, said Coach Lance McAdam. He continued We had an amazing year; it is a long season and we were put to the test in many ways and the girls responded. The girls really came through - they came back from injuries, and when called upon, the bench really lled in admirably. From top to bottom, it seemed like it was somebody different stepping up every game. The mix of experienced seniors combined with talented underclassmen, gave the Lady Broncos a unique chemistry and they became a tight knit team, winning some games by sheer will. With their number 4 seed, Alvirne earned the right to play the number 12 seed St. Thomas Aquinas Saints, a team that they had lost to by the score of 1-0 just one week prior to the beginning of the playoffs. The Saints came in believing that they could knock off the Broncos again, but Alvirne had different designs. The Broncos dominated play, shooting 28 times compared to just nine shots for the Saints. Alvirne had many scoring opportunities including two shots by Tori LaRoche and Marie Morrier that hit the posts, but they could only manage a 1-1 tie in regulation, forcing the game into overtime. Tori LaRoche scored at the 23:42 mark of the rst half, putting a long rebound away off the shot from Kayla Juliano, who posted the assist. Unfortunately, the one goal lead did not stand up, when a hand ball in the box off a corner kick gave the Saints a heavenly gift of a penalty kick which they put away to tie the score

Keeper Sammi Giannelli with one of her many saves freshmen Jillian Houle and Kristin Decost), this was a team that went out and competed every game. They showed tremendous character. Following the lead of the seniors, the underclassmen have seen what it takes and have had some great experience this year to build on for next season. They fought hard and to the end I am very proud of these girls.

by Phillip Nichols On October 26, the Campbell Cougar Spirit team participated in Nashua High School Norths Cheer Madness to highlight Bullying isnt Glamorous. This was an all day event in which a total of 15 different Spirit teams from all different age groups. The goal was to raise money and highlight Bullying. The Campbell Cougars competed in the afternoon session in the Varsity Division III/IV against the Bow Falcons. This competition between these two schools demonstrated more than just a competition. It demonstrated sportsmanship and teamwork. The Falcons coaches were unavailable for the days competition so Campbells coach, Renee Lubinski, stepped up and lled in as coach for both teams. Campbell wowed the crowd with their high ying stunts and precise dance moves. Their focus, skill and precision, which resulted in their rst place nish. Of the 15 teams that competed, Campbell was the only team to complete its routine without any major aws or missed stunts. According to Coach Lubinski, we stressed dance, focus and ghting to complete our stunts and that paid off for us today. These young ladies put in a lot of time and effort. They trust each other, when it comes to completing their stunts.

After taking game one in one of the most exciting and intense tournament games fans could ever hope to witness, it soon appeared that 4th ranked Alvirne had awoken a sleeping giant.

Jose Rodriguez turns the corner against the Blackbirds by Mike Bourk The Broncos hung in there early in the game, trailing just 7-0 after the rst quarter. During the rst quarter senior Rob Albertine had a key sack ending an early Blackbird drive. In the second stanza the Broncos had no answers for the explosive Blackbird offense who put up 24 second quarter points and went on to win by a nal score of 44-7. As has been the case for most of this season Alvirne would make a good play or two but just couldnt seem to string together four plays in a row to get a defensive stop or consistently move the chains on offense. An uninspired pass rush combined with inconsistent play in the secondary allowed Keene to pick up 225 passing yards in the rst half. In the second half the Broncos played somewhat better as they we outscored only 14-7. Fumble recoveries by Tyler Cabrel and Mark Bisson ended two Blackbird drives. Jose Rodriguez and Jack Mahoney each had a couple good runs. Lucas Notini had the lone Alvirne touchdown and Danny Brown kicked the extra point. When asked about his thoughts on his rst season as a head coach at Alvirne Phillips replied I enjoyed coaching the kids this year. This is a young group of kids, I thought the backs did a nice job but our linemen have to get bigger and stronger if we are to be successful next season. Theyll have to spend more time in the weight room during the offseason. A retrospective look back on the Broncos 2013 season During the preseason the Alvirne offense looked sharp. They had talented wide receivers with good hands and several big tight ends. They had multiple options for a rushing game. They had pretty good offensive and defensive linemen and solid linebackers. Even with the injuries this team still could have been more successful with more consistent play. The team has been uninspired over the last few games. The enthusiasm and inspiration displayed by Coach Philips in August and early September waned with each passing game. It was a tough season for Philips, a rst time head coach. It was an equally tough season for the seniors who with their talent, deserved better than a 1-8 record in their nal season. Jack Mahoney follows blockers for a short gain

Thumbs Up?
Thumbs up to all the eighth grade lady raider soccer players on a great season! Good luck at Campbell High School! Thumbs up to Hudsons new Senior Services Coordinator, Lori Bowen. Loris enthusiasm and joy is contagious, and she is excited about the activities and plans for the new Hudson Senior Center at Benson Park that will open in the spring of 2014. Gratitude also for all the loyal people who have worked diligently for years to make their dream a reality. Thumbs up to all those who donate their free time in the Boy Scout and Girl Scout organizations Thumbs up! My thumbs hurt because they are up so high for the Campbell High Concert Choir and their performance Sunday. They sang The Water is Wide with a legend conducting them ... and they brought tears to my eyes with their sound. Kudos to the fantastic student clarinet player as well. Wow! Thumbs up to the custodians at Alvirne High School, thank you for all that you do in an unappreciated environment caused by certain administrators. We know how hectic is can get for you. We support you! Thumbs up to Campbell High School Football Teams Players and Coaches! What a surprisingly good season for a supposed rebuilding year. You guys played incredibly well, strong offense and an amazing defensive line, Great Job! Thank you coaches for all your dedication and hard work!

Thumbs Down?
again. Once a cheater, always a cheater. Thumbs up/Thumbs down. To the voters exercising their rights. Voting! Thumbs down to the (R) Party for lack of respect of the ofce of the president. In Party fudes, obstructing the voters with new rules. Making it difcult for seniors and the poors. Just some reasons to vote (D) Party. Where is civility gone? You can change this by voting in greater numbers. Vote (D) Party. Thumbs up to Cougar volleyball! You worked hard and made the Town of Litcheld proud! Thumbs up to all the lights on Lowell Road. You dont have to worry about speeding when youre stopping every 100 feet. Thumbs up to all the residents who showed their spirit for the Red Sox winning the pennant. Nice to see Hudson Strong! Thumb up to Ambroise Pare for creating a new and more effective ointment to ght those bad infection. Which led to the advancement in the medical eld that save more people lives. Thumb up to Isaac Newton for discovering gravity. If it was not for you I wouldnt know how I was kept down on earth

Thumbs up to the Alvirne varsity cheerleaders who helped teach cheers, jumps and stunts at the HMS cheerleading tryouts this week. You were great role models and excellent teachers! Thumbs down to the person at library street school who buttoned my sons shirt up to his chin on picture day. I left the top button undone for a reason. You may personally like all the buttons done up. I personally like the top one unbuttoned. Im sure who ever did it was trying to be helpful but next time please leave the clothes how the parents sent them in to avoid picture retakes. Thumbs up. A huge thumbs up to the two Junior and Senior students from AHS, and the other citizens of Hudson, who so generously donated to the fundraiser wishing well that we had set up in our yard during the month of October with our Halloween display for our friend Jon who is very sick with cancer. Our family, as well as his, are so incredibly grateful for the extreme levels of generosity and human kindness that we have seen this month. Thank you so much! Thumbs down to the HPD, every other Police Station that arrived, and Alvirne High for what happened this past week. This blatant attack on personal right of the students as well as staff at the school was absurd. A drill that the teachers were not even notied about? Police evacuating the school and then entering with weapons drawn for a drill? Stop terrorizing Alvirne, LSS and any other school that was interrupted. Thanks for keeping us safe, keep up the great job. Thumbs down barely two months back to school and already cranky pants at NWES is dodging his responsibilities and passing them on to others. You should be ashamed of your ponderous behavior. Try to step up and accept your own dignity if you can possibly muster an ounce of honor. Thumbs up to another Litcheld community member - Janine Lepore. You are always stepping up to take things on. You are the one who says How can we help, how can we x this? You speak for some of us who cant nd the right words or are too shy to voice our opinions. You do so much for the community. You are a great neighbor. You are an incredible mother! You are so kind to so many. Thank you Janine Lepore for all you do for our town of Litcheld.

Broncos Ride Streak to Final Four

Hudson~Litchfield Sports
Broncos Kyle Salucco had a strong performance against Nashua South, scoring two goals in the 4-1 first round win Alvirnes Anthony Oliveira (far left) heads the ball past Londonderry keeper Jeff Baroody for an insurance goal in the 2-0 quarterfinals win Eleven minutes later, Brett Richardson nearly put the Broncos on the board again when he went in alone on Jimenez, but a nesse chip over the top of the Panther keep was well played, resulting in a save that kept the lead at two. With 7:30 remaining in the rst forty, Matt Lubinski continued the AHS assault by drilling a shot from just outside the six that was deected wide of the goal by defenseman Curtis Buxton. With Alvirne completely dominating the ow of the game, it wasnt until the 36th minute that Bronco keep Regan faced the Panthers stiffest scoring opportunity but Nick Scavettas point blank attempt traveled wide to the right of the Alvirne goal, as the two teams headed to the intermission with Alvirne up 2-zip. The second half featured more of the same Broncos attack. An unanswered against-the-grain bid from Richardson from inside the eighteen along with a Raul Stedile header that skimmed off the top of the crossbar kept Souths hopes alive. However, with 20:02 left, Salucco scored his second of the afternoon when he lasered a shot into the upper left side of the net past a bewildered Jimenez for a commanding 3-0 advantage. Alvirne closed out its scoring in the 70th minute when recently called-up junior Anthony Oliveira took advantage of his varsity minutes, scoring to put the Broncos up 4-0. South captain Srishail by Marc Ayotte Ancient Philosopher Lau Tzu said, The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. Im not sure how popular soccer was in China back in 550 B.C.; nonetheless, the adage still applies. And though it may not be a thousand miles long, it is a road the Bronco boys soccer team hopes to travel all the way to the ultimate promise land of the NHIAA division I soccer title game. Alvirne took that rst step on a drizzly October 31 afternoon; advancing to the quarter nal round with a solid 4-1 victory over Nashua South. Two days later on a wind-chilled and gorgeous Sunday afternoon, the Broncos used a pair of goals from an interesting junior tandem; a stalwart scorer and a JV swingman, along with an eight save effort by keeper Liam Regan to blank Londonderry and move on to the Final Four at Stellos Stadium in Nashua on October 7. In the preliminary round game with the Purple Panthers, Alvirne dominated early. With just 124 ticks off the clock, Brett Richardson on a nice feed from Jeremy Longchamp, staked the Broncos to a 1-0 lead, beating South goalie Chris Jimenez. In the games 14th minute, Kyle Salucco continued his superb play when he scored the eventual game winner to double Alvirnes lead at 2-0.

Thapa scored on a meaningless penalty kick in the waning minutes to get the visitors on the board. In the quarter-nals, the number 4 ranked Broncos were still enjoying some home-cooking as they hosted number 10 seeded Londonderry. Although the Lancers appeared to come out with a higher energy level, the aforementioned scoring sensation in the form of Brett Richardson once again recorded the all-important rst goal of the game. With just 4:19 expired, the Bronco striker, while positioned in the six capped off a scramble for the loose ball and drove it past a lunging Jeff Baroody for the only goal Alvirne would need. With both teams swapping scoring chances for the remainder of the rst half, it ended with the Broncos holding a slim 1-0 lead. In the rst three minutes of the second half, Londonderry nearly evened the score, but Liam Regan came up with a nice save on a Lewis Carroll direct kick from just outside the eighteen. Three minutes later, a Nate Gow header off a corner kick sailed harmlessly over the Alvirne net. With the Broncos trying to regain control of the ow, the 48th minute saw a Stedile boot from 22 yards out sail just outside the right post past a screened Baroody. Moments later, a frantic urry in front of the Londonderry cage got the AHS student section excited but that was all that resulted. With 23:32 remaining, Salucco, with the best scoring chance of the half, had his sharp-angle bid from the right side sail just over the crossbar. Answering back and as the clock ticked inside the 20:00 mark, Lancers Tommy Cranmer was stoned by Regan as the Bronco keep attired in his iconic green garb came up with a big-money save, keeping Londonderry off the board. Then with 16:02 left on the clock, an unlikely Alvirne striker made a timely reappearance from his playoff debut just a game before. Anthony Oliveira rose to new heights as a Bronco when he soared over three at-footed Lancer defenders, resulting in a dazzling header to nish-off a brilliant corner kick to the far post from Ethan Beals. Hes been a swingman, but we havent had him up here yet, stated Al Conti. The Broncos Assistant Coach continued by saying; he has that physicality and that speed thats hard to guard. Reecting on Oliveiras ability to make the best of his varsity opportunity with goals in his rst two post season appearances, Conti offered with a reticent and subtle smile; not bad at all. The Broncos will ride its 13 game win streak into the matchup against Manchester Central in the rst of two-seminal games slated to start at 4 p.m. Alvirne (16-2) suffered one if its losses back on September 6, when they fell to the Little Green, 2-0, in the second game of the season. In the nightcap at Stellos, number 1 seed and undefeated Hanover will take on the fourth ranked Crimson from Concord.

Broncos X-C Team Concludes Fine Season

by Marc Ayotte Prior to the beginning of this years Cross Country Meet of Champions held in Nashua, Alvirne Coach Tom Daigle mentioned that he would be pleased with a top 10 nish in the team competition. Well, thats exactly what his boys squad delivered; as they nished exactly 10th with a total of 239 points and a cumulative time of 1:26:32.40. Finishing in the top three spots were Champions Oyster River (104 points), followed by Pinkerton Academy (108) and Souhegan with 152 points. Regarding the days performances, Daigle noted that his runners had real good times. He extended that thought by adding that they had an awesome season. Contributing to the best team performance in nearly two decades, Daigle cited the runners willingness to buy into a new culture which includes training during the off season; now they all want to do their summer running. Adding to a deep and talented squad which will see the return of its core in 2014, the Bronco coach praised the teams collective intangible; they have more heart than any team Ive had before. Leading the Broncos once again in the individual competition was Phil Demers. The AHS junior traversed the Nashua South grounds and Mines Falls woods in a time of 16:30.1. Demerss 15th place nish qualies him to compete on November 9 (12:30 start) at the New England Championships which will be held back at the Derryeld course in Manchester, which was the site of the NH state divisional meets two weeks ago. Finishing in 32nd place, just 23 seconds behind the lead Bronco was Noah Bellomo. The freshman runners time of 16:53.5 just missed qualifying for the New Englands, as only the top 25 individuals (and the rst six teams) in the Meet of Champions advanced. After the 5K trek, Bellomo reected on what may prove to be the rst of a string of impressive showings at a state meet; I think I might have over thought my strategy. I dont know if I was mentally tough enough throughout the race. Showing the presence and maturity of a seasoned upper classmen, Bellomo noted that for him, being mentally prepared for a race is imperative and if not so, the physical element of the race can be adversely affected. Yesterday I was physically prepared, noted the AHS rookie runner, just not mentally. Adding to the grueling aspects of the race was the physicality of a 165 runner eld. Citing ying elbows, pushing and being cut off as components he had yet to experience during the regular season, Bellomo said of his initiation to an ultra-competitive event such as the MoCs; I may have wasted some energy there. While acknowledging that he met most of his individual goals during the season, Bellomo

Alvirnes Phil Demers wears some celebratory canned-foam as well as the 15th place medal he received, competing in the 2013 yielded to the greater whole, saying it was a cross country Meet of Champions big year for the team. Rounding out the top ve runners for Alvirne (top 5 contributed to the team competition were Noah Cote (6th, 112th team score) were Kendall Westhoff (3rd, 82nd overall, 18:04.0) and Anthony Cestrone (7th, overall, 17:32.8), Kyle Saunders (4th, 93rd overall, 123rd overall, 18:17.4). 17:47.9) and Frank Cunniff (5th, 95th overall, 17:48.1).

by Marc Ayotte As the only Campbell High cross country runner to qualify for this years individual competition at the Meet of Champions that took place at Nashua South, all eyes were on Cougar Sean Munnelly. After earning his way to the MoCs with an impressive 15th (17:44) place nish in the Division III state meet one week earlier at Derryeld, Munnelly to his own admission, was not pleased with his uncharacteristically slow stroll through the woods of Mines Falls; nishing with a time of 18:56.9 which landed him 144th in a eld of 160 runners. My performance was not where it should have been, exclaimed the Cougar star runner who virtually owned the shorter 400, 800 and 1600 meter races during last seasons track campaign. My tness level and endurance was there, continued Munnelly, (I) just suffered a pain in my abs which mentally took me out of my race. Not afraid of admitting to a sub-par showing, he recapped the rst leg of the 2013-2014 season by saying; it was overall just an awful season; I never came close to my potential.

Munnelly Eyes Indoor Track after MoCs

Looking beyond the longer distance of 5K that is reective of the cross country meets, Munnely says; I plan to come back strong in indoor (track) to make up for my disappointing cross country season. With hopes of improving upon last years performances, he added; I plan to set new personal bests and become a top runner again.
