As children return to school and trudge through the rst few weeks of classes,
one question inevitably comes up concerning their school work: when will I ever
use this?
For Alvirne alumni Joe Allison and Nicole Barreira, the answer to that question
is all throughout your career. Both Allison and Barreira graduated from Alvirne
High School in 2002 and are now executive chefs. Allison is an executive chef
for Nashua Country Club and Barreira is an executive chef for T-Bones. Both went
through Alvirnes vocational culinary arts program and have high praise for all they
learned and experienced through the classes.
Barreira has a culinary degree and Bachelor of applied science in hospitality
administration both from Southern New Hampshire University. Allison also
graduated from Southern New Hampshire with his BA in culinary arts. After
college he was a sous chef at Nashua Country Club. He then worked for Concord
Country Club in Concord, Mass. before returning to the Nashua Country Club as
banquet chef. Then, a year later in 2011, he became the executive chef.
Both agree that Chef Robert Buxton and his assistant, Shirley Nadeau, were the
driving forces behind the program that taught them what they use in their careers
today.
It was his drive
to keep pushing you
and keep you going,
Allison said. It was
a big program, but 75
percent of the kids just
took it as an elective
class. He knew which
ones really wanted to
do this and which ones were taking it as a fun elective class.
Barreira believes that Buxtons approach gave all the
students an accurate idea of what it was like to be in a
culinary career. While the courses offered some book work,
the majority of the class time was dedicated to giving students
a chance to see what it was like to cut vegetables, cook food,
set tables, serve customers, and quite simply run a restaurant.
The classes were held at the public restaurant Checkers in
the vocational wing at Alvirne High School where they served
meals for the public in a real restaurant environment. They
both believe the pressure of serving actual customers helped
them learn to do their tasks efciently in preparation for their
careers.
He has a very realistic approach to teaching culinary arts.
He taught the fundamentals and also taught just being in the
kitchen and being involved and taught the importance of
learning all the stations on the line including prep and menu
writing, Barreira said. The kids at Alvirne should be thankful
for their vocational studies and the opportunities they have
with that vocational wing. Its an opportunity to explore your
passions before you have to be committed to it at a nancial
level.

Campbell High School has been ranked among the
best high schools in the United States, according to
Newsweek magazine. Of the 15,000 high schools
across the country, CHS was ranked 142 out of the
top-500 schools selected. The Newsweek 2014
rankings highlight the high schools that do the best
job of preparing students for college. This year their
methodology was more stringent than ever with
new measures of quality of education based on
a perceived college readiness score developed
by Newsweek researchers. On September 19, the
school community is celebrating Campbell High
School Day. All students are being asked to wear
school colors. Thank you to the community for your
support of Campbell High School; we all have so
much to be proud of.
While most residents were home Wednesday night, September 10, the professional
and call reghters of the Litcheld Fire Department where out testing their skills and
exposing themselves to some very extreme
temperatures. Eastern Propane and Oil on
West Road provided their training facility
for this training. If propane burns at 4,337
degrees Fahrenheit, think of the heat that
these reghters are exposed to in this
training exercise.
As you watch the video, watch for the
spray from the re hose to change from a
single stream to a fan pattern and see how
the reghter can push the ames away
from the valve end of the tank with the
shut off valve. In an actual re, unless the
tank has erupted, shutting off the tank can
prevent the re from igniting surrounding
structures. When the tank has been
compromised causing a leak but no ames
at this times the reghter goal is to cool
the tank to prevent an explosion.

September 11, 2001, is a day that Americans will never forget.
At 8:45 a.m., on a clear Tuesday morning, an American Airlines Boeing 767
loaded with 20,000 gallons of jet fuel crashed into the north tower of the World
Trade Center in New York City. Eighteen minutes later, with evacuation of both of
the twin towers underway, the unthinkable unfolded before the eyes of thousands
of New Yorkers. Caught in the midst of their morning commute, they watched in
horror as a second Boeing 767 United Airlines Flight 175 suddenly turned toward
the World Trade Center, slicing into the south tower near the 60th oor. The
massive explosion caused debris to rain down on New York City streets.
Soon after, American Airlines Flight 77 crashed into the Pentagon in
Washington, D.C. As for New York City, by 10:30 a.m., both World Trade Center
towers had collapsed. More than 3,000 people were killed during the attacks,
including more than 400 reghters, police ofcers and rst responders. The
last hijacked plane, United Flight 93, which had been circling above New Jersey,
crashed into a rural eld in western Pennsylvania after a team of ight attendants
and passengers raided the cockpit with re extinguishers and boiling water.

Last week, readers learned
that Hudson erected two new
schoolhouses in 1896. The second
house was the D. O. Smith School
in Hudson Center on what is now
Windham Road. The building
committee was authorized to spend
up to $3,000 to build and equip the
Smith School; which was named
in honor of Dr. David O. Smith. In
his younger years, David O. was a
successful teacher; he then studied
medicine and became a very skillful
physician. After becoming a doctor,
he retained his interest in the schools
of this town, doing more for the
schools than any other person during
his long lifetime. This school house
was completely destroyed by re and
was replaced by the Hudson Center
School on Kimball Hill Road in 1909.
The Smith School was located on the
north side of the road at or near the
present address of 42 to 44 Windham
Road. This picture is from an old
sepia photograph from the Historical
Society collection.

The United States Air Force Academy celebrates its 60th
anniversary this year, coinciding with the 67th anniversary of
the U.S. Air Force. Its remarkable to think how quickly the
academy was established after the Air Forces founding. In less
than a decade, Air Force leaders, with the support of President
Eisenhower, recognized the importance of a separate institution
dedicated to educating those expected to slip the surly bonds
of earth to ght the enemy, often in one-on-one air battles
reminiscent of medieval knights.
Of course, as technology and modern warfare has evolved,
so have the ideas of what it means to be an airman. No longer
is it a single pilot, or perhaps a small crew, strapping into an
aircraft. Rather, its a complicated network of effort that couples
technology with innovative decision making to ensure the right
effect is delivered to the right location at the right time. In todays
Air Force, its a team sport. Intelligence analysts gather data from
technologies operated by space experts and protected by cyber
warriors to work with pilots, who employ technology developed by
engineers, all supported by airmen operating the biggest weapons
system in the Department of Defense - the Air Force base. For
this networked system to work, it takes airmen dedicated to those
ideals on which the Air Force was founded: innovative problem
solving, calculated risk taking, the ability to learn from early failure
and rapid decision making.
Since its establishment on August 14, 1954, the Air Force
Academy has been developing
many of these airmen as it has
worked to remain on the forefront
of both innovation in higher
education and development of
the airmans ethos and Air Force
culture. It has continued to adapt
as the problems faced by our
nation have evolved.
Recently, the U.S. Air Force
released a short document titled
Americas Air Force: A Call to the
Future. This third-in-a-series of
foundational documents serves
as a call to action and sets a
sight picture for where the U.S. Air Force needs to go over the next
30 years. It highlights the need for agility of mind and diversity
of thought to tackle the complex problems well encounter in
an ever-changing future. These qualities provide guide posts for
what were trying to achieve in every academy graduate. What
we do at the academy - develop character and leadership in a
competitive curriculum designed to balance liberal arts with
science, engineering and math, and immerse students in the Air
Force mission and culture - has remained unchanged. Its how we
do what we do that is changing.
Recognizing the importance of diversity of thought (i.e.,
inclusivity) in decision making, were not only attempting to recruit
students with diverse experiences, but were intentionally designing
pathways that enable our students (and students from other Air
Force commissioning sources) to develop new experiences after
admission. Were examining alternatives that recognize many of
todays students apply with an already diverse set of experiences
and accomplishments that can be leveraged for the benet of the
individual and institution. Although certain U.S.AFA traditions
are unwavering, as described in Americas Air Force, developing
airmen may not follow the well-trodden (paths) of old.
The academy faculty and staff are also working with colleagues
across higher education and the DOD to develop and employ
educational innovation to ensure our graduates are the agile
thinkers needed for tomorrows problems. Fortunately, we are
uniquely positioned to ensure we graduate agile and innovative
leaders for tomorrows military. We do that through unique
opportunities such as ying remotely piloted aircraft and satellites,
a demanding combatives curriculum, and partnering with UC
Colorado Springs to develop mid-career ofcers for future
leadership opportunities.
Although Ive only been in the ofce of the Academy
Superintendent (i.e., college president and installation commander)
for a year, Im motivated by all the academy has accomplished
over our six decades. I look forward to where were heading and
Im encouraged that Americas Air Force: A Call to the Future sets
a clear sight picture for our future. I welcome you to visit your
U.S. Air Force Academy to see many of the great things our young
cadets your future Air Force leaders - are doing.
Lt. Gen. Michelle D. Johnson is the 19th Superintendent of the
U.S. Air Force Academy.

Hudson reghters assisted the Derry Fire Department on September 14
in battling a three-alarm re in a large commercial building on Maple Street.
Engine 1 and Car 4, staffed by three reghters and the duty captain, were rst
called to Derry at 8:28 p.m. to cover one of the towns re stations. Before
responding apparatus could reach their cover assignment, both units were
called to the scene of the re. Hudson Car 1 responded to the re to oversee
reghters operations.
Hudson crews
were assigned to
operate several
attack lines in the
rear of the building
and from ladders.
Due to heavy re
conditions in the
building, reghters
used a defensive
attack, pouring
thousands of gallons
of water into the
building.
The ames
weakened the
structure making it
too dangerous for reghters to enter the building. An excavator was called in
to demolish the building so ames deep in the building could be extinguished.
Hudson reghters assisted with the operation, wetting down the debris as the
burned material was removed from the building.
Fireghters from 10 surrounding towns with 75 reghters responded to the
scene. Hudson crews returned to town at 2 a.m.

Fluctuating Temperature Readings
Tabulating the temperature trend for the lower 48 states involved over
100 million temperature readings, some taken before NOAA was even
founded. A paper by Hansen from 1999 shows 1934 as 0.1 oF higher than
1998. But the raw data include errors. A correction for urban heat island
efect by Hansen in the same paper raised the diference to show 1934 as 0.3
oF higher than 1998.
But other errors in the raw data remained, and a total update called
USCHN V1 was issued in about 1999. A correction for thermometer
readings at diferent times of day and for updating to modern instruments
increased the estimated trend by about 0.5 oF. Other corrections increased
the trend another 0.15 oF, but a correction for the urban heat island efect
lowered it by about 0.1 oF. http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/oa/climate/research/
ushcn/ushcn.html (fgures 2 and 4)
Weather Whys and Climate Wise (WWCW) in last weeks HLN called
such changes not easily explained. But NOAA explained it all at in the
reference above. NOAA transparently explained why and how, made old
and new data available, made the software available, and published graphs
documenting the amount of each correction.
NOAA updated the estimates in 2008, as USHCN V2. Te new software
now automatically compensated for the urban heat island efect. WWCWs
claimed that changes in 2008 made the trend higher. NOAA writes that the
2008 changes made the US warming trend lower. ftp://ftp.ncdc.noaa.gov/
pub/data/ushcn/v2/monthly/menne-etal2009.pdf (table 3)
WWCW wrote that the urban heat island adjustment afects the trend by
1.2 oF. In fact, the urban island heat efect is less than 0.1 degree F. http://
pubs.giss.nasa.gov/docs/2010/2010_Hansen_etal_1.pdf (paragraph [47])
WWCW wrote that the urban heat island efect contaminated the global
data in a big way. It is in fact quite small and was corrected in the GISS
global data in 1999. http://pubs.giss.nasa.gov/docs/2010/2010_Hansen_
etal_1.pdf (paragraph [12] and section 4).
WWCW claims that the urban heat is in efect moved to the rural areas.
But NASA explained that urban trends are adjusted to match the rural
trends, in the reference above (paragraph [39]).
Australia also adjusts the raw data, as described at http://www.
theguardian.com/environment/planet-oz/2014/aug/27/climate-sceptics-see-
a-conspiracy-in-australias-record-breaking-heat.
Tese corrections have been discussed at length by scientists for several
years, and numerous independent bodies estimated essentially the same
temperature trend. But members of the climate community made an
accusation that part of the government misused federal funds to fake
scientifc data. In 2009 Tirteen Republican members of Congress asked
the Inspector General of the Commerce Department to Investigate. Todd
Zinser (appointed by G.W. Bush) responded that NOAA adjustments were
in fact appropriate. See http://www.oig.doc.gov/OIGPublications/STL-
19846.pdf.
At http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/cag/time-series/us we fnd that 1998 is
now estimated to be 0.13 oF warmer than 1934. 2006 is a bit warmer
than 1998, and 2012 is more than a full degree hotter. But this is just in
the US, and as shown by WWCW, the global temperature is rising even
faster. Globally, the highest May ever recorded is in 2014, the highest June
is in 2014, and the highest April-June is in 2014. No wonder that the press
emphasized that, rather than local cool weather in the US.

Ralph Boehm Tanks Litchfeld Voters
I would like to thank the voters of Litchfeld for once again giving me
their support by making me their candidate for State Representative. I
will continue to represent you. All of you, not some segment, or group. I
will vote on what is best for all the residents of Litchfeld as I have always
done. And I will continue my record of being there, at committee meetings,
at sessions, at department meetings, whatever it takes to make sure that
Litchfeld is represented.
Ralph Boehm, Litchfeld
Its Heartbreaking, Its Appalling ...
But its not all that surprising to me and to maybe many other HLN
readers that some businesses would refuse my request for them to display
a poster/announcement for a Homeless and Disabled Veterans event at
Harbor Homes in Nashua for October 9. But thats what is happening as I
go from business to business requesting that they display the announcement
in a visible location so that more people will know that they can maybe help
homeless and disabled veterans.
Some of those replies have been, we dont display posters in our windows,
but I leave the announcements there anyway; knowing that when I go back
in a few days, it will not be seen at all. Tis is how our society has become
so selfsh and close-minded, that they cant even make an exception to
demonstrate their compassion for homeless and disabled veterans. I wish
I could list those businesses that said no to me, they know who they are,
or that I sensed they would not display the announcement, so that I could
promote a boycott of those businesses; so all I can do is a word-of-mouth
urging to boycott them. Its even those businesses who Im sure have family
members and acquaintances who have served or are serving in the Armed
Forces, and who might be homeless or disabled, or have other urgent needs;
that have said no or Im sure they wont display the announcement.
We all have right to our opinions and beliefs, but there are times when
our hard-fast opinions and beliefs must be put aside, we must learn to
do that, for something far more important on a personal level that could
promote a higher level of well-being and care for someone else, like for now
with our homeless and disabled veterans. With all of the news reports this
year on how veterans have been denied healthcare services through the VA,
you would think there would be an out-pouring of compassion; with an
immediate yes I will display your announcement and thank you for asking.
I will try to have the announcements displayed in businesses throughout
Hudson, Litchfeld, Pelham, etc., and just maybe, if youre in a business
place and you dont see the announcement anywhere; you could tell them
about the October 9 event at Harbor Homes or you might think to yourself
that youre in one of those businesses that said no thank you, we dont
display announcements in our windows, even for veterans.

Te PSAT: Is it a Necessary Evil?
Say what you want about standardized testing but the truth is that
a majority of universities and colleges still require them as part of the
admissions process. It is true that more and more colleges are questioning
the efcacy of these tests but they are still something to consider if you are
planning on going to college. It is better to take the test and potentially not
need it than to not prepare properly and wish you had taken it. Students
can choose between the SAT or the ACT (American College Testing) as
their test of choice. At Alvirne High School we see the SAT as the test most
students opt to take and submit as part of their admissions portfolio. To
properly prepare for the SAT it is highly recommended that students take
the PSAT (Preliminary SAT). Tis test is given only once a year in October
to any interested sophomore or junior. Part of being successful when taking
the SAT is feeling comfortable with the test and there is no better way to feel
comfortable than by practicing. Taking it as a sophomore will give you the
opportunity to practice what you have learned so far in a safe environment;
the scores are not reported to anyone outside of the school. As a junior you
could be eligible for the National Merit Scholarship Program, depending
on your score. Either way, taking the PSAT will give you an insight to
the test and help you know what to expect when you sit for the SAT. If
you are a sophomore or junior at Alvirne wish to take the PSAT at Alvirne
High School on Saturday October 18th, bring a check made out to Alvirne
High School in the amount of $30 to Ms. Piper in the Counseling Ofce
no later than Wednesday October 15th; signups are on a frst-come, frst-
served basis. Tis fee provides you with a seat for the exam, a study guide,
and follow-up services through www.collegeboard.org. If you have any
questions, please contact the Counseling Ofce at 886-1260 extension 2506
and ask for your students counselor.

Struck by how Lucky Tey are
Our barn was struck by lightning, we were lucky enough to have a
neighbor be in the right place at the right time and saw it. With her being
there and letting us know what was happening, with the help of friends,
neighbors, customers and the Hudson Fire Department the fre was put out
quickly.
Tere is no way to show our appreciation, we are lucky to have so many
wonderful people in our lives.

Forget the Partisan Politics
Tank you to those who took time to go out to vote and to those who
voted for me.
I am running to represent the citizens of Hudson and Pelham in the New
Hampshire House of Representatives.
We need to stop placing politics above peoples needs. If you vote for
me on November 4, 2014, I pledge to place New Hampshires needs above
partisan politics. I believe that by cooperating we can build consensus, make
a diference, and invest in our future prosperity. We must work together
to have a Granite State that works for all of us. Working families and the
middle class are the engines of the economy of New Hampshire. Te
drivers of a successful economy are good jobs, retirement with security and
afordable health care and education.
In this hyper-partisan age, I plan on going to Concord with the
vocation for a bi-partisan dialog. I am convinced that the individual
intelligence grows with collaborative intelligence. I need your support,
your help, and most importantly your vote to represent you in the House of
Representatives.
Te desiring to give back to the community compelled me to run for State
Representative in 2014. Does not matter if you are Democrat, Republican
or Independent, my only pledge is to represent you. I am in politics not to
gain a position but, to fnd ideas and stand for them.
I want to hear from you. Please feel free to e-mail me at: alejandro.
urrutia@yahoo.com or by mail to: 9 Campbello St., Hudson NH 03051.
Please join me in making the diference.

Tips on How to Give Your Home an Annual Checkup
(BPT) - Theres no better time than now to give your home the attention it deserves.
Give it an annual checkup before cold weather arrives to help add comfort, save energy
and cut home maintenance in the long-run.
When inspecting your homes windows and doors, heres what to check:
Inspect interior and exterior nishes: Over time, paint and stain can weather away.
Flaking or peeling may mean that its time to renish or replace the unit. When replacing
windows or doors, consider factory prenished wood or berglass options from Pella, or
vinyl options that dont need painting or staining, to save time and money.
Look for damaged exterior surfaces or signs of leaks: Check your sprinkler system
to make sure its watering your lawn and landscape, not soaking your windows
or doors. Cracked or deteriorated wood may be a sign of water penetration.
Leaks can linger and affect interior walls, oors or ceilings, so look closely for
discoloration or other moisture signs.
If you spot a problem, track its trail. For example, discolored trim around
a window might actually be caused by moisture entering a ways away. With
a leaky roof, water may run down inside the wall and appear at the window.
Contact a professional for help in making home repairs.
Clear windowsills and tracks of dirt and debris: Sand, leaves, insects or
pine needles stuck in weather-stripping can affect the performance of your
windows and doors. Open the windows and clean the opening with a
soft brush, like a dry paint brush or vacuum attachment. Do the same for
sliding patio doors.
Try opening and closing: Open your windows and doors to make
sure moving parts work, and units close properly. Replace worn or
broken parts.
Inspect weather-stripping: Re-attach loose weather-stripping around
windows or doors, and replace material thats ripped or torn.
Replace or repair broken locks: If locks feel loose or dont work
smoothly, replace them. Keep windows and doors locked when not in
use. Locks help hold doors and windows tightly, to lock out rain, wind,
snow and insects.
Inspect weep and breather holes: Weep holes in the exterior of
windows, allow excess moisture to escape, while breather holes allow
air exchange within certain components. Clear blocked holes of dirt or
debris with a wire or toothpick.
Check exterior sealants and caulk on and around windows and
doors. Pay attention to areas susceptible to rain, water and extreme sun-
light. Remove damaged material and reapply sealant.
In coastal locations, rinse exterior metal like exterior aluminum trim or
cladding: Rinsing exterior metal parts three or four times a year can help
extend the life of your windows and doors by minimizing corrosion from
salt spray or fog.
Feel for signs of air leakage around the window or door: Improperly
installed windows or doors can be drafty, decrease energy efciency, and
allow unwanted moisture into your home. To help save on utility bills and
keep your home more comfortable year-round, replace drafty old, leaky
windows with new, ENERGY STAR-qualied Pella windows installed
properly.
Visit Pella Windows and Doors on Pinterest for design inspiration or
Pella.com/news to connect with a Pella representative for tips on caring
for your windows and doors, or choosing new replacements.

Are You Spending Home Improvement
Dollars on the Wrong Door?
(BPT) - How often do you use
the front door? Not often, right?
When Americans come home
from work or school, the front
door now takes a back seat to the
garage door.
The garage door is used
more often, it commands
more curb appeal, and price-
wise, its a great bargain,
says Jim Lett of ABE Doors
& Windows in Allentown,
Pennsylvania. A past presi-
dent of the International
Door Association,
Lett sells both
garage doors and
entry doors.
Lett says this
major paradigm
shift means more
homeowners
are investing in
impressive garage
doors with substan-
tial curb appeal
instead of front entry doors, which are used less and often shrouded in
shadows.
The primary entrance
A national survey by Harris Interactive reveals that the garage door is
indeed the door used most often to enter U.S. homes. Forty-ve percent of
homeowners with garages say the garage door is the primary point of entry
into their home. The front door came in a distant second at 35 percent.
The front entry door is used so little, many homeowners no
longer even carry a key to that door. The new house key to todays
home is the remote control to the garage door.
The battle for the front
For decades, garage door guys were jealous of the attention giv-
en to the front entry door, says Gordon McGraw, owner of Over-
head Door of Eugene-Springeld, Oregon. But thats changed.
Real estate agents used to tell people that the front door is the
most important element to
spruce up, because its the rst
thing visitors see, he says. But
thats not true. A front-facing ga-
rage door is clearly much more
dominant.
Best door bargain in the house
While the garage door is sig-
nicantly larger, research shows
its also more affordable. The
average installed garage door
sale is only about $1,500, while
a much-smaller berglass entry
door runs about $2,800, accord-
ing to the Remodeling 2014 Cost
vs. Value Report (www.costvs-
value.com). In that same report,
the cost of an upscale garage
door was only $2,800 compared
to $7,300 for an upscale front
entrance.
Its crazy, but the garage
door delivers ve times the curb
appeal, yet it costs less than a
comparable front door, says
Lett. I always encourage garage
door customers to go for the upscale models. Its well worth every dollar. You shouldnt
settle for a plain-Jane garage door.
Unprecedented choices
The last 10 years have seen manufacturers introduce an unprecedented variety of dy-
namic new garage door styles. Its now common for garage door dealers to offer dozens,
if not hundreds of carriage house designs, the hottest new look. Visit www.garage-
wownow.com to see a wide variety of new designs from many manufacturers.
Todays garage doors are widely available in durable low-maintenance steel, and
some new steel doors have a paint nish that looks exactly like real wood. Besides steel,
the industry also offers innovative designs in aluminum and berglass. Gorgeous custom
wood garage doors are also available as a premium choice.
Welcome home
Today, when America comes home, its not through the front door. In terms of use,
convenience, and visual appeal, the garage door is the new front door of the American
home.
5 DIY Fall Yard Cleanup Tips
(BPT) - Fall is the perfect time to give your lawn the extra attention and
care it needs - especially after an action-packed summer. Inclement weather,
extreme temperatures and heavy foot trafc can take a toll on your yard, and
inhibit the overall health and growth of your lawn. Its important to let your
lawn recover during the fall and make sure it has the nutrients and strength it
needs for the coming months.
Consider these fall yard cleanup tips to help get your lawn back in shape
and ready for winter.
Rake - Raking is one of the most common yet effective ways to clear
leaves and other small debris like twigs from your yard. Easily remove leaves
by raking onto a tarp, which allows you to drag and dump the leaves. If you
experience backaches while raking, its best to use an ergonomic rake to
help reduce pain often caused by repetitive motion.
Split logs - Neglect-
ing large tree branches
or limbs left in your
yard from harsh winds
and severe storms
can compact soil and
weaken grass. Clear
your yard by using a log splitter, like the Yard Machines 21-Ton Log Splitter,
to quickly and efciently spilt wood instead of using an axe. For safety pur-
poses, always place the log splitter on a at, dry and solid surface, and then
secure the wheels to prevent the splitter from moving during operation.
Clean gutters - Downspouts and gutters can ll up with leaves, dirt and
other debris over time, keeping water from properly draining. This can cause
gutters to overow, which may lead to a ooded landscape and slick walk-
ways, so be sure to thoroughly clean your gutters and remove objects that
could disrupt or block water ow.
Fertilize - Applying fertilizer to your lawn helps grass rejuvenate from the
summer heat and gives it the strength it needs to survive the winter. This will
also help grass establish strong roots and improve soil richness for the com-
ing spring.
Weed - Since weeds start to store food in their roots during the fall to
prepare for the winter, its best to remove as many as possible - including the
roots - to prevent regrowth. After youve nished weeding, cover landscape
areas with mulch or rock to block sunlight and deter growth.

achieve a better lawn, visit mtdproducts.com.

September 12: Nashua North vs. Alvirne
Fresh off a scoring bonanza against Manchester Memorial, Alvirne
looked to keep the ball rolling against North. The rst 20 minutes
produced some scoring chances for the Lady Broncos, but they were
unable to break though the layered, smothering defense of the North
Titans. These were the last serious scoring chances by Alvirne and
the game changed to a defensive battle.
For the next 80 minutes, including two overtimes, unable to
control the play in the offensive zone, the Lady Broncos relied on
staunch mideld play led by Dagney Wilkins and rock-solid defense
anchored by the standout play of Jillian Houle and center defender,
Erin Rosier. This trio was assisted on the outside by Alexa Prescott
and Olivia Bertrand and combined to shut down the Titan attack.
The stingy Bronco defense thwarted every foray into the zone that
Nashua could muster. Backing up this wall was their last and best
defense, goalkeeper, Sammi Giannelli. Sammi made 12 saves for
the Lady Broncos with a few real testers to earn a hard fought 0-0
tie. This was the third shutout for Alvirne in their rst three games
against staunch division one opponents.
With a solid defense and opportunistic offense, Alvirne should be
poised to make some noise in their remaining 11 games. Alvirne
traveled to Pinkerton on Tuesday to face the Astros, once again
looking to push their record above .500 for the rst time this season.
September 10: Manchester Memorial vs. Alvirne
Following their loss to Keene, the Lady Broncos tried their luck
against the Crusaders of Manchester. Some early offense was
created by Manchester with several corner kicks that tested the
defense, with dangerous head balls and attempts in the box. These
chances never materialized. Alvirne was able to break through
with a goal of their own in the eighth minute by Danielle Ross
from Kayla Juliano to change the momentum which stayed with the
Lady Broncos for the remainder of the game. Danielle Ross scored
her second breakaway goal of the game, this time on a pass from
Kristen Decoste to make it 2-0. The half closed on a penalty kick
by Kayla Juliano after a foul in the box on Kristen Decoste, to make
it 3-0 at the half.
The second half was much of the same, as the Lady Broncos
kept up the pressure and pushed the advantage to 4-0 with a nice
nish by Jamie Calvagna on a pass through the defense by Kristen
Decoste. One last goal from Brianah Sellingham on a beautiful
stab from a great cross by Celine Dumais ended the scoring 5-0
and nished off Alvirnes second victory of the year. The Lady
Broncos evened their season record to 2-2, and looked to go north
of .500 against Nashua North at home.
September 8: Alvirne vs. Keene
The Alvirne Lady Broncos traveled to Keene to take on the
Blackbirds. Alvirne got off to a great start, scoring rst on a
long, towering shot from Danielle Ross, taking the lead 1-0. The
Blackbirds answered back almost immediately with a breakaway
goal of their own to even the score. The game was a very physical
battle, with very few chances for the remainder of the half. The
score remained tied until a late, second half goal by Keene, which
handed the win to the Blackbirds and sent Alvirne home with their
second loss of the season.
Lady Broncos Finish Week Strong with a Win and a Tie

On Saturday September 20,
Collins Dentistry for Children
will be hosting their ninth
annual Childrens Safety Fair
at their ofce, located at 100
Bridge Street in Pelham. The
event will be held from 10
a.m. to 2 p.m. In sponsoring
the event, Collins Dentistry
has teamed up with DNA
LifePrint, who will be present
and offering free Child ID Kits
to all who attend. Each ID Kit
includes FBI endorsed Next
Generation Identication that
replaces ngerprints with
palm prints, a current digital
photo, DNA sample, and a
safety pamphlet that provides
important safety tips for children and parents. Parents are given the
completed kit to keep in a safe location.
Collins Dentistry will be providing Toothprints dental
impressions at no charge for all children who attend. The
Toothprints dental impression is a tool that can be used by parents
and law enforcement agencies in the unfortunate event of a missing
or abducted child. The special material used to make the impression
also collects a sample of each childs saliva, which provides law
enforcement agents with a DNA sample and possible scent to be
used by tracking dogs. The impression is taken when a child bites
into a special, softened plastic wafer that
records the characteristics of the teeth and
jaw. It takes less than one minute to obtain
an impression.
Children will have the opportunity to
play in a bounce house, receive a balloon
animal, grab a free hot dog, cider and
ice-cream (courtesy of Friendlys), meet
members of the Pelham Fire and Police
Departments and tour their emergency
vehicles, and inspect the giant tow truck
and race cars courtesy of Woodys
Towing. As if all that excitement was not
enough, mascots from
the UMass Riverhawks,
Lowell Spinners, and
Nashua Silver Knights are
expected to make guest
appearances to meet the
public and sign autographs.
Grab a friend and come by and visit. Meet
your favorite mascot, get a chance to blast the
siren on the re truck, and jump in the bounce
house! Parents will have an opportunity to pick
up some important tools to assist you in keeping
your child safe, and who knows, maybe convince
your children that a visit to the dentists ofce
really can be fun.

violence have a safe place to turn, and Im truly inspired
by the crucial work the New Hampshire Coalition Against
Domestic and Sexual Violence does on behalf of New
Hampshire women and their families, said Kuster. No
one should be afraid to live in their own home, and thats
why its critical that we continue to support efforts like
these to end domestic violence. Congratulations to the
Coalition on this grant award and thank you to all the
dedicated men and women who work day-in and day-out
to support victims and end the violence.
The Grants to Sexual Assault and Domestic Violence
Coalitions Program supports coalition efforts by
coordinating victim services and responding to instances
of violence against women. State coalitions provide rape
crisis centers and battered womens shelters for victims of
domestic violence with training, funding, and technical
assistance.
The Violence Against Women Act has saved lives
and helped millions of survivors nd safety, security and
independence from their abuser, said Maureen McDonald,
community relations director at the New Hampshire
Coalition Against Domestic and Sexual Violence. The
grants to state coalitions are critically important to
supporting our statewide advocacy work here in New
Hampshire. This is the only funding stream that supports
policy work like the recent successful
efforts to strengthen our laws around
domestic violence, sexual assault, and
human trafcking.

One week after suffering a season-opening loss at Pinkerton
Academy to an Astros team that is arguably the best in the state, the
Alvirne Football team turned things around in a remarkable way on
September
13 when
they traveled
to Stellos
Stadium for
a Saturday
matinee.
Behind a
versatile
offensive
attack that
featured a
combined
nearly
400 yards
through the
air and on
the ground,
along with
a tenacious
defensive
effort, the
Broncos
thumped
the Nashua
North Titans
to the tune of
27-0.
Quarterback Danny Brown led the aerial assault, completing 15
of 20 passes for 239 yards and three touchdowns, the rst of which
went to Andrew Stevens just three minutes into the contest. After
Alvirne forced the Titans off the eld on a four and out in their rst
possession, the Broncos started their opening drive on the North 39
with a little trickery. A half back option pass from Jack Mahoney to
Stevens inside the 10 was unsuccessful, however, a pass interference
penalty against North resulted
in a rst down at the 24. Two
plays later, Brown dropped back
and threw to the back right
corner of the end zone where
Stevens made a spectacular
diving catch, leading to a 7-0
Bronco lead.
On Alvirnes next series, Brown, on a third down boot-leg right,
found Stevens for a 36-yard pick-up down to the Titans 13-yard
line. Mahoney (18 carries, 78 yards, TD) then took a pitch from
Brown and ran right for a gain of six, down to the seven. On the
next play, Brown dropped back into the pocket, scanned right
and then threw back left, nding George Notini (eight receptions,
118 yards, two TDs) all alone in the end zone. And with Browns
second point after, Alvirne had taken a 14-nothing advantage
with less than four minutes remaining in the opening stanza.
The Broncos continued to look sharp in the second quarter, but
a couple of untimely penalties thwarted promising drives. The
most crucial series of miscues occurred in the nal drive of the
half that began with 1:04 remaining. An 18-yard gain by Ethan
Rainville on a dump pass from Brown was negated on an offensive
holding call. On the next play, Brown connected with Stevens
(four catches, 93 yards, TD), who this time skied to haul down
the reception for a 36-yard gain down to the North 17. With ve
ticks remaining, Brown found Notinin in the left corner of the end
zone for an apparent score, but that was called back as a result
of another Bronco infraction. Nonetheless, the Broncos rode an
impressive 14-point halftime lead into the locker room.
Alvirne received the kickoff to start the second half and, on the
rst play from scrimmage, Rainville (10 carries, 70 yards) rumbled
for 33 of them, across mideld to the Titans 47-yard line. On a
fourth and three, North committed a costly penalty of their own,
giving the Broncos an automatic rst down at the 25. A few plays
later, Mahoney from ve yards out, followed Rainvilles lead block to
pay dirt, increasing Alvirnes lead to 21-0 with 7:51 showing on the
third quarter clock.
The Broncos closed-out the days scoring later in the quarter
with a 76-yard scoring drive that elapsed a mere 1:19 off the clock.
Starting on their own 24, Brown hit Notini for an 18-yard pass play.
That was followed by a 13-yard run from Ryan Godschall. The drive
culminated when Brown connected on a 45-yard TD strike with
Notini for his second score of the game.
Elsewhere offensively for the Broncos, Sam Bonney-Liles had one
reception for 10 yards and Mahoney added to his ne ground game
with one catch for 6 yards, while Brycen Yarmo chipped in with a
catch for 2 yards.
After the game AHS Head Coach Tim Walsh was pleased with
his teams performance; the guys came out and set the tone for the
game, adding; defensively we put in a package that worked out
well for us. Walsh went on to say that the team executed well and
played with passion and expounded upon that by adding that the
win will go a long way in establishing identity as both players and as
a school.
Alvirnes home opener will be against Keene on Friday, September
19. The Blackbirds come into Hudson with a 0-2 mark; suffering
dismal losses to Merrimack and Salem and being outscored by a
combined 75 to zip in the process.

Teenage Hotshoe Derek Grifth is excited about this coming weekends trip to White
Mountain Motorsports Park.
WMMP is a picturesque quarter-mile bullring in northern New Hampshire that offers
touring series the opportunity to race at one of the nicest facilities in New England.
Grifth is coming off a great podium nish at the Inaugural NH Classic 100 at Star
Speedway on September 7. Derek started in the second spot for the 100 lap feature
and stayed in the top 5 all day long. The podium
nish allowed Grifth to pull ahead of Barry Gray
for third place in the season long points battle.
With two races to go, Derek feels he can seize an
opportunity as the Granite State Pro Stock Series
(GSPSS) makes its rst ever trip to WMMP.
White Mountain is a neutral track for our series,
I think if we hit our marks in practice and set the
car up properly, we can at least grab a podium
nish again but we are squarely looking for the
win, stated Grifth.
Derek will pilot his Moms of Manchester/
LCM Racing No. 12 Toyota Camry this Saturday,
September 20 at WMMP and try to secure his rst
career GSPSS win. Derek has
multiple top-3 nishes for the year.
Grifth explains what a win would mean to his team, We are very close to getting
our rst win. This season more than any other, we feel we can content at all the race
tracks the series [GSPSS] visits. Getting that rst win will validate all of Louies (Crew
Chief Louie Mechalides) and my dads hard work; we are always fast off the trailer and
our team has really come together. We are a pretty solid bunch.
The Granite State Pro Stock Series at White Mountain Motorsports Park on September
20 has a post time of 6 p.m.
