During a test run of Engine 4 on October 4,
2006, both Selectman Richard Maddox and Fire
Chief Sean Murray experienced a “clank.” The
instrument panel lit up a warning light stating
that the cab latch had once again faltered.
This past Tuesday, October 5, Engine 4 was
taken out of service and driven to D.D.A. of
Londonderry for mechanical review.
The Area News Group called D.D.A., and in
speaking with the Service Manager, they learned
that D.D.A. had been asked to check into a
“clanking sound and generator concern.” In
speaking with the Service Manager later in the
day, the Service Manager advised the Area News
Group that the Hudson Fire Chief would not
permit him to discuss any repairs with the media.
If the media wished any information regarding
the truck, they were to “contact him.”
The length of time to repair the truck or the
expected expenses was unknown.

Out for Service

So Thankful to Live in the
Community of Hudson
I wanted to take the opportunity to thank so
many people for reminding us why we are so
fortunate to live in the town of Hudson. My
husband Phil and I were raised in Hudson,
and have raised our three children in this
community. Although no longer a small
town like when we were growing up here,
we were reminded on Friday why this is such
a great place to live and raise a family. I’d
like to thank my friend Kelly and daughter
Rachael for their quick thinking after our
horse, Scribbles, was pinned under a fallen
tree in Friday’s windstorm. Because Kelly was
there and acted so quickly to call for help,
our horse is recovering at an Equine Clinic in
New Hampshire. Our daughter Rachael is
tirelessly fundraising to help our little horse
get the care she needs.
The reghters at the scene rallied around
Scribbles, with the help of our fathers, Joe
Field and Fred Garside, who came to our help
at a moment’s notice. Jana MacMillan calmly
directed the scene, as reghters calmed our
fears and took control of a horrible situation.
When our veterinarian, Dr George, arrived on
the scene, he was able to tend to our horse
within minutes due to the help of family,
friends, and the Hudson Fire Department. Mr.
Dion, our family friend and neighbor for most
of my life (always a dad in my eyes), came
to offer his help. It was amazing how the
Fire Department took this unusual situation
into their hands with such calm and skill,
and assisted our family and vet to rescue our
beloved horse.
In a world that is so busy, some days
you think nobody cares—we got a huge
awakening to how wonderful the folks in
the town of Hudson are. From our Fire
Department, Police Department, Animal
Control (aka Rescue), veterinarian, friends,
and family—there is so much good in the
world, and we were fortunate to experience
that last Friday. Phil would like to thank
Scribbles and that tree for another good
reason for owning a John Deere Tractor. All
joking aside, we are truly blessed to live in a
big town that felt like a small town again last
Friday.
Thank you, Town of Hudson!
Becky and Phil Garside - Hudson

Scribbles the horse was knocked
down, knocked out, and laying
unconscious in the water hole of
mud and muck. Pinned solid to
the ground, not moving, Scribbles’
breathing seemed OK, yet she did
not move a hoof.
Horses are known to be quick on
their feet to avoid danger. However,
Scribbles, on this windy and rainy
day, apparently slipped in the mud
as she tried to escape the falling tree.
Two fellow horses escaped, but
Scribbles took a shot in the head by
the falling tree. The tree drove the
horse face-rst into the mud, where
she remained motionless as family
members called 911 for help.
The weight of the tree was so
great that the green and yellow John
Deere tractor could not raise the
tree limb from the stricken Scribbles.
While chains wrapped the large log,
the John Deere simply chugged and
snuffed, incapable of raising the
limb.
“The top of the tree was so
large that Scribbles did not have
a chance,” commented Scribbles’
owner, Becky Garside of Hudson.
“She tried to run, but we think that
she lost her footing in the mud.”
“When the tree fell, the large limb
smashed onto her face and knocked
Scribbles out. Her face took the
major part of the blow from the
falling tree. She also received some
broken ribs and some abrasions on
her legs. We are thankful that her
body is intact. As she took the blow
in the face, her breathing has been
affected on the right side of her
face,” said Garside.
“Our saving grace was Kelly
Lynch, Hudson,” continued Garside.
“She heard the tree snap and along
with our daughter, Rachael, called
911 for help.”
Hudson reghters who
responded to the scene were
“great, compassionate, and caring,”
commented Garside. “They did
everything possible to help Scribbles.”
Using air bags supplied by
compressed air, reghters were able
to raise the tree limb from Scribbles
safely. “Dr. Simon George, of
Deereld Veterinary Clinic, sedated
Scribbles so that the reghters could
do their job. As the reghters cut
the tree into smaller sections, we
were able to lift the tree limbs off
Scribbles with our tractor. A horse
cannot lay down for any long length
of period, so we all hurried in a safe
way to get the tree off Scribbles,”
stated Garside.
Once Scribbles rose to her feet, she
walked to a nearby horse trailer to
be transported to the Myhre Equine
Clinic in Rochester.
“She is only 15 years old,”
continued Garside. “Horses will
live for 30-35 years. We rescued
Scribbles from a situation where she
was malnourished and needed a
loving and caring environment. This
accident may result in the losing
of her left eye, but her appetite is
great; she has lots of spunk. She will
undergo surgery for her fractured
face, but we expect her to come
through the surgery in great shape.
Unfortunately, we need help with the
expenses. The cost of the operation
will be close to $7,000, and we could
really use some help with Scribbles.”
The Garside family wishes to
express their thanks to the Hudson
Fire Department, as well as to the
Hudson Police Department for their
supportive roles in the saving of
Scribbles’ life.
For those who wish to contribute
to Scribbles’ medical bills, please
contact Myhre Equine Clinic, 100Te n
Rod Road, Rochester, NH 03866.

Car Wash Benefts
AHS Key Club Activities
submitted by AHS Key Club
The Alvirne High School Key Club got a break in the weather as they
held their benet car wash at the Clean Monster Carwash on October 2.
More than 20 Key Club members, led by President Elaina Silveri, washed
and dried more than 40 cars to raise money for club activities. Clean
Monster owner Dennis Brearley generously donated time and facilities
while manager Mike Hardy worked with the students and made sure
the customers received the same quality wash that they were used to.
The hard workers not only raised money for their club, but some earned
service hours needed by other clubs such as the National Honor Society.
Everybody shared in the workload, whether it was washing and drying the
cars or waving signs on the side of the road. We want to thank everyone
that supported these ambitious young members of our community.

It was a tailgate touchdown today for Denise LaRoche
of Hudson, whose recipe for “Spicy Cranberry Chicken
Sidekick Sliders with Spicy Cranberry Aioli” won bragging
rights to the title “2010 Tailgate Recipe of the New England
Patriots.” LaRoche won over the judges with her creative use
of cranberries using Ocean Spray Fresh Cranberries and Ocean
Spray Whole Berry Cranberry Sauce.
LaRoche was among three nalists who participated in
Ocean Spray’s Tailgating Recipe Contest at Gillette Stadium in
Foxborough, MA.
The contest was held in conjunction with Ocean Spray’s Fall
Harvest Weekend at Patriot Place October 2-3, which included
cranberry harvest and recipe demonstrations, hayrides, pumpkin
carving, a farmers’ market, and the Taste of Patriot Place.
“Cranberries are more than a Thanksgiving staple,” said
Larry Martin, vice president of marketing at Ocean Spray.
“Our Tailgating Recipe Contest allows us to celebrate two
fall passions – football and tailgating – and inspires people to
explore the versatility of our native fruit, no matter the activity,
party, or gathering this fall.”
Celebrity Chef Ming Tsai, host of public television’s Emmy-
nominated Simply Ming and chef/owner of the award-winning
Blue Ginger, judged the contest and announced the winner. In
addition to bragging rights, LaRoche received a prize package,
including two tickets to the New England Patriots’ October 17
game against the Baltimore Ravens.
The contest was open to New England residents with a
passion for cranberries and tailgating. The recipes had to be
original and reect the overall theme of tailgating. Creations
were judged on uniqueness, use of product, taste, overall
appearance, and ease of preparation. The respected panel of
judges included Chef Ming Tsai, New England Patriots Hall
of Famer Steve Grogan, and Cindy Taccini, senior test kitchen
manager at Ocean Spray.
Ming Tsai, a football enthusiast, also got in on the action
by preparing several of his favorite tailgate recipes, including
“Cranberry-Hoisin Glazed BBQ Ribs” using Ocean Spray Fresh
Cranberries.

Team for National Cyber
Competition
submitted by Air Force Association CyberPatriot
Five students from Alvirne High School will be competing online in
coming weeks in the nation’s largest youth cyber security competition
for a chance to win college scholarship money and a free trip to
Washington, DC.
CyberPatriot, presented by Northrop Grumman, is the one-of-a-
kind national cyber security competition produced by the Air Force
Association (AFA), a non-prot organization headquartered near
Washington, DC. This unique competition will help students learn
rsthand about the cyber security eld and introduce many to the idea
of cyber security as a profession.
Led by Coach Kevin Grady, the Alvirne High School team, comprised
of Air Force JROTC members, will virtually compete against hundreds
of teams around the nation. CyberPatriot now has more than 500
teams registered and continues to attract high-school educators across
the country.
Other schools still have time to eld teams, with the registration’s
October 8 deadline looming.
“Because of our unique online competition format, hundreds of
teams can compete at one time,” said Bernie Skoch, CyberPatriot
Commissioner. “To join, a high school teacher signs up and signs on
ve bright students for a fun, hands-on learning opportunity. It’s a great
chance to learn and have a great time.”
Teams of ve, with an approved coach (usually a teacher), learn to
defend a computer network from real-life computer threat scenarios.
In the fall, hundreds of teams square off online using special software
and programs provided by CyberPatriot to competitively solve
vulnerabilities in their network. The top teams then compete again in
a series of online rounds to determine nalists for an all-expenses-paid
trip to Washington, DC, and the Championship Round at the Gaylord
National Convention Center in April 2011.
Any high school can eld a team for the Open Division, while
JROTC units from any service or Civil Air Patrol are also eligible to
eld a team for the all-service Commander-in-Chief’s Division. The
educational experience and materials are identical for students in
either division.
Coaches can learn more about CyberPatriot and sign up at http://

On Sunday, October 3, Mrs. Colavito’s Health Occupation Students of America classes met at
Derryeld Park in Manchester bright and early for the Juvenile Diabetes walk. The 23 walkers represented
Alvirne High School and they raised about $800 for the cause. The three-mile walk was a great success
for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, and also a great success in bringing together the Alvirne
HOSA group.
Edmond and Theresa Duchesne Celebrate
Their 50th Wedding Anniversary
submitted by Canobie Lake Park
It’s baa-aack! Canobie Lake Park Screeemfest opens its 2010
haunting season on October 1 and continues each Friday, Saturday,
and Sunday evening through October 31. Canobie’s seven-week
Oktoberfest celebration also continues through the end of October
along with Screeemfest, providing visitors to the Park with quite a
variety of entertainment – and food – options.
According to Chris Nicoli, Canobie’s Marketing and
Entertainment Manager, the “scare factor” of the Screeemfest haunts
has been ratcheted up this year, and there are new walk-around
monsters and characters. Live entertainment includes a new show
featuring a tribute to the artists Prince and Ozzy, appearing on the
Park’s Midway Stage.
For the younger set, there is the Pumpkin Palace attraction
especially for kids, along with several kiddie rides. Nicoli also
said that the huge Oktoberfest area in the middle of the Park with
traditional German food, seasonal beers, and even ‘oompah’ bands,
has proven to be quite popular.
“We have worked hard to offer our guests quite a unique
Halloween event,” said Nicoli. “Where else can you scream in the
haunted houses, then catch your breath on a roller coaster or visit a
German beer garden? We’re providing a complete amusement park
experience with rides, games, attractions, plus several live shows
and two major fall events, all for one low admission price. And
parking is always free.”
Discount coupons to Canobie Lake Park Screeemfest and
Oktoberfest are available at participating McDonald’s Restaurants,
Market Basket Supermarkets, and Tedeschi Food Shops throughout
New England while supplies last. For more information on coupon
locations, complete pricing, hours, and directions, visit canobie.com.
