The Steckevicz Turns into

a Winter Wonderland
by Len Lathrop
Following a process that began in
August 2016, a new superintendent
for the Hudson School District, SAU
81, has been named. What follows
is a press release from the New
Hampshire School Boards Association.
Superintendent-elect Russell provided the paper with a statement on his

appointment.
Im humbled and excited to have been chosen by the board to lead
the staff of the Hudson School District in our efforts to provide a rigorous
and engaging learning for the students. Im looking forward to working
collaboratively with the teachers, parents and community members as we
focus on continuing the significant strides the Dr. Schlichter and her team
have made in recent years. In addition, it will be important to help students
develop the 21st Century skills (creativity, communication, collaboration and
critical thinking) that will prepare them for the jobs of the future, many of
which do not even exist today. Achieving these goals, while still honoring and
perpetuating the tremendous traditions and culture of contributing back to
the community in Hudson, will be the driving forces of the district under my
teams stewardship.
The HLN congratulates Lawrence Russell on his appointment as
superintendent of the Hudson School District.

Campbells FIRST Robotics

to Build a Very Versatile
Robot for Competition
Campbell High Schools FIRST Robotics team members

submitted by Carolyn Spaulding
FIRST Robotics is a sport
of the mind, as students work
together to build and compete
with robots under the guidance
of experienced mentors. Just
like a regular sports team,
robotics has a season, which
kicked off two weeks ago at
Southern NH University. At this
kickoff, after hearing speeches
from FIRST founder Dean
Kamen and Senator Maggie
Hassan, the game the team will
compete in was revealed.
Now the team is in the
midst of building a robot in
six weeks that can overcome
the engineering challenges
proposed by the current
competition. For this years
competition, this means
building a robot that is able to
accurately launch wiffle balls
into a goal nine feet above
the ground, move around
large yellow gears and climb
a rope while being controlled
remotely. This is no easy task
to complete, and is challenging
everyone involved. Throughout
the six weeks of building the
robots, the engineering skills of
Connor Donahue works on the robot.
the students are being constantly
challenged, making FIRST
Robotics the closest a high school student can get to real world engineering.
All of the teams hard work will be put to the test on March 3 during a
regional competition at Windham High School against 39 teams from New
Hampshire as well as surrounding states.

Dancing in the Steckevicz during the winter semi-formal

by Len Lathrop
With finals over it was time to dance, as the student
leadership team held a winter semi-formal at Alvirne. With
snowmen on the gymnasium walls and blue lights moving
on the outside of the brick front of the building, the feeling of
being there for a sporting event was completely gone.
Ladies were dressed in very elegant dresses and even
some gowns while most of the young men were in shirts and
ties. The red carpet effect was replaced by a blue-and-white

snowflake runner, which made for an enchanted winter feel.
While the upstairs gym was where the music played,
the cafeteria provided a nice retreat for some food with an
abundance of pizza, chicken wings and several types of pasta.
If offered a quiet place to sit for a minute without the music.

Remember Hudson When ...

Ferry Street May 30, 1949
by Ruth Parker
Behind this weeks photos we find not one story but two. The
first being the Sherman tank and army vehicles heading down Ferry
Street. The second is the story behind the houses along Ferry Street
we see in the background.
These photos were taken May 30, 1949. In that year Memorial
Day observations for Hudson were held over a two-day period. The
activities were under the direction of American Legion Post 48 with
Roger L. Boucher as chairman of the Memorial Day Committee. On
Sunday, May 29, the legion and auxiliary attended Mass at St. John
The Evangelist Church. In the afternoon Post members joined with
veterans organizations from Nashua and parishioners of St. Patricks
Church Parish in the dedication of The War Memorial at St. Patricks
Cemetery in Hudson.
On Monday morning, May 30, a parade assembled on First Street
with the line of marchers proceeding to Ferry Street and down the
hill to Library Park assembling for the activities to be conducted
there. This parade included a police escort, parade marshal and
representatives from veterans and service organizations from Hudson
and Nashua. In these photos we see one modified Sherman tank.
According to newspaper write-ups the next day, there were actually
six such tanks included in the Hudson parade. At Library Park past
Post Commander Harry Salvail was the master of ceremonies. The
guest speaker of the day was Elliot A. Carter of Nashua. Wreaths
were placed on three markers in honor of those who gave their lives
for their country.
On Monday afternoon, American Legion Post 48 participated in
the Memorial Day Program in Litchfield where a tablet was unveiled
in honor of the war dead of Litchfield. The Sherman tanks, at least
five of them, proceeded to Nashua to participate in the Memorial
Day parade through the streets of city.
The second story is with the houses along Ferry Street we see in
the background; what is now 44 and 46 Ferry St. In the mid- to
late-1940s and in to the 1950s there was a large increase in traffic
along Ferry Street; automobiles and gas were more available and
individuals were traveling to Nashua for employment. During this
time period there were a number of small Mom and Pop enterprises
opening up. Of course we remember the 20th Century and before
that Sals Market. There were also the smaller variety stores like
Bradleys Market at the corner of Library and Ferry.
Even further up Ferry, at what is now 44 Ferry, was a small variety
store operated by Herbert and Mary Shepherd. If you lived in that
area and/or attended Webster School or Hudson Junior High School,
Sherman tank near 44 Ferry St.

you may have memories of your own. George Abbott remembers
going across the field between School Street and Ferry Street to buy
snacks from Mamie Shepherd on his lunch hour during junior
high. Neil Cunningham who lived further down on Ferry Street
remembers his Mom sending him to Mamies for a loaf of bread.
Carol (Whittemore) and David Flewelling remember going there for
candy and ice cream.
Mary Mamie (Perkins) and Herbert Shephard lived in what is
now 44 Ferry St. from about 1946 until Herbert passed in 1961, at
which time Mary continued to live there until 1972. During this
time Herbert was employed as a bus driver, a railroad worker or

exemplifies volunteerism and civic duty in the town of Litchfield. This person should embody the characteristics of Pat Jewett who has organized numerous events for
the town, and served the town of Litchfield for over 50 years in various capacities whether it was as a member of the school board, conservation commission, board of
selectman or other committee.

Young Carolers Lifted our Spirits

We are fairly new to a quiet 55-plus community in Litchfield. On the Thursday evening before Christmas, our doorbell rang and we were greeted by a group of
young ladies (with chaperones) who sang a wonderful Christmas Carol for us and presented us with cute little bags of candy and cookies. We did not know who they
were. On any evening, this would have lifted our spirits, but on this evening my husband and I had just returned from an overnight and full day at the hospital not
knowing if he would be home for Christmas or not, so it was especially uplifting after such a stressful time. During these tumultuous times we live in, it is encouraging
to see these wonderful young people taking the time to come out and spread love and joy! We thank them from the bottom of our hearts. Well done!

State of Washington Students Seeking Information on NH

I am a student at Cascade Christian School in Puyallup, Wash., and I am writing a report on the State of New Hampshire. We are responsible for gathering a much
information as we can about your state. If any of your readers would like to help me by sending any pictures, post cards, used license plates, fact, products, etc., from
your state it would be greatly appreciated. Please send to Cascade Christian School, Attn: Roxy, Grade 5, 609 9th Ave. S.E., Puyallup, WA 98372. Thank you very
much.
Roxy, Puyallup, Wash.
The Fox had questions this week related to bills in front of the New
Hampshire House and Senate, but they can wait until next week-- things
like carrying concealed guns and smoking in public places.
Lets scamper instead through the snow to another issue. Do you
know what lit up the phone lines Tuesday night? After a somewhat
lackluster selectmens meeting, it was time for selectmen comments.
Selectwomen Pat Nichols read a prepared statement, lamenting about
her service to the town and the rewards tangible and intangible she has
received. She announced that she will not be seeking another term as
selectman, primarily due to heath issues,
but closed by saying that she will be
involved as possible in Hudson.
Quickly, former Selectmen Richard
Maddox was back in the race and
ironically the registration period to run for
various seats in town government started
Wednesday the 25th. Maddox had an
agreement with Nichols that he would
not run against her. An email stated that
former Selectman Ben Nadeau had called
town hall seeking information according
to another sitting selectman, who also
mentioned that Selectman Routsis will be
endorsing a candidate whom she stated
would beat both of the former selectmen.
The filing period runs until Feb. 3, the
night before the town deliberative session,
that is when we will know who wants to serve. Everything is just rumors
until citizens sign up online at the Town Clerks office.
Before the selectmen could get into non-public with the television
broadcast going black, the issue of Hudson being known as a businessunfriendly town began. The conversation was started by Chairman
Luszey, who suggested a joint meeting. Just as a disclaimer, the Foxs
paws and brain were multi-tasking, between the broadcast and cell
phone texts about the candidates for selectmen. Luszey recognized
Selectwomen McGrath to give comment, who seems to think that after
all her years on various land use boards she an expert of the usage
issue and will let you know that. She disagreed with the contention
that Hudson is labeled as non-business friendly and felt that the
selectmen should meet with the ZBA separately from the planning board
as they both do very different things. She had no issue with meeting but
explained to other board members what they do and how well they do
it. The Fox has to agree with her on one topic that the people who serve
as volunteer-appointed members of these boards work without pay on
top of their real world jobs. The Fox hears that Hudson is unfair in many
decisions, but also knows how hard it is to deal with the public. Just
think about the 50/50 rule of every issue; if half agree and half disagree,
its impossible to make everyone happy. The Hudson business-unfriendly
issue will be a topic of a joint meeting once
a new board member is seated after the
March election.
Just a note for people to think about, two
seats are open on the Hudson School Board
that will be decided on. The registration
period also is currently running from Jan. 25
to Feb. 3. It is known that one incumbent
of the two is not running.
When looking at the town ballot, check
out warrant article number 4 to Amend
Zoning Ordinance 334-14 sign. The
question is asking to amend paragraph K
to provide that no inflatable, balloon or
portable signs are allowed in any zoning
district unless specifically authorized in a
permit issued by the Board of Selectmen for
a fair, festival, limited duration performance
or other event of a temporary nature. Does this mean no balloons on
your mailbox for welcoming a new baby or celebrating your childs
birthday party? Can you imagine the list of requests in front of every
selectmens meeting? Considering all the zoning rules, who will be the
balloon police?
In an effort to educate readers, the Fox has made requests for
information to the zoning administrator and the town administrator and
others to get information about all four of these zoning amendments.
Finally, the Fox is very sorry that truck frames were mentioned as a
New Years wish to Road Agent Kevin Burns. Once again, Burns has a
plan that is in the best interest of the town as getting another 10 years
from 2001 trucks for the cost of replacement frames surely is.

Trump
Extremists on
Either Side
Need to Settle
Down
I am sick of talking politics at this point, but I
dont have anything else to write about.
So lets discuss the inauguration. The
political race is over, but the country is
more separated than ever. This is the first
inauguration I have ever watched. It was
boring, but its important because its supposed
to be an example or a symbol of our country
transitioning
power
peacefully.
For the most
part that
happened.
All About
There were
about a little
more than
100 people
who decided
to be idiots and throw stones at police officers
and destroy private property. You really showed
Trump ... Are you dumb? Do you think he
cares? One hundred people creating chaos at
the inaugurationjust pitiful.
I am all about the peaceful protest. I think
its one of our greatest rights. You can make
your point without destroying private property.
When you destroy private property youre
creating a headache for that property owner,
who is just a citizen, trying to go about their
everyday life.
There are basically two groups in this
country that are annoying me. The diehard
Trump supporters and the diehard anti-Trump
supporters. Seriously, both of those groups
need to go away. Madonna went way too far
with her whole blowing up the White House
comment. Do I think she will be arrested?
No. I hope that the FBI or the CIA or whoever,
does talk to her and let her know that that was
wrong. With that being said, I do appreciate
all the celebrities who were out there protesting
over the weekend because its nice to see them
being active and practicing what they preach.
So much for rising above and being better.
Lashing out is exactly what Trump does, so it
kind of puts her on the same level as Trump.
I know Im going to get some hate for that
comment, but its true and I speak the truth.
The tweet, posted by an SNL writer, about
Barron Trump was inappropriate. Im not going
to go into details about what the tweet because
its unnecessary. Can we leave poor 10 year
old boys who have no say in who their parents
are out of it? That tweet might even be stooping
lower than some of Trumps comments.
I was very disappointed with how the women
treated the pro-lifers who wanted to march.
Just because they have a different opinion than
you on a very controversial topic doesnt give
you a right to make that group feel unsafe. Prolifers have just as much of a right to protest as
pro-choicers.
The extremist Trump haters, if you will,
need to cool it. He is not resurrecting the
1920s in America. Women will not magically
become housewives again, and not every single
Mexican and Muslim is going to be deported.
So please stop committing hate crimes.
Both sides need to stop acting like emotional
teenagers. This is America, we are supposed to
be an example of the world and instead we are
a laughing stock and rightfully so. Its far past
time to grow up, be less catty and less pathetic
and be the country we supposedly once were.
I have faith in America!

comments, concerns and questions to nicole@

Kiwanis Provides YMCA

with Donation
submitted by Hudson Kiwanis

The Hudson Kiwanis president
presents Joseph W. Manzoli, Jr., chief
operating officer YMCA of Greater
Nashua, with a $1,000 donation
toward programs in the Hudson
schools. The YMCA conducts the
Super Heroes Program where they are
seeing a positive impact in attendance
and grades. A new program being
offered in the middle school called

the YMCA Achievement Center began
this school year. This program is
similar to the Super Heroes program
but is specifically tailored to children
of middle school age. It is based on
positive psychology principles. It is
the result of a joint effort with Rivier
University and Hudson Memorial
Middle School.

In mid-February, the New Hampshire Department of

Motor Vehicles will be implementing a new computer
system (VISION). During this implementation period, the
registration system that all towns use for vehicle registrations
will not be available. The system will shut down at the close
of business on Thursday, Feb. 16 and will not be available
again until Wednesday, Feb. 22, assuming all goes well with
the transition. This means that anyone who purchases new
vehicles over the next few weeks and has 20-day plates that
will expire between Feb. 16-21 will not be able to register
their vehicles, nor will they be able to receive an extension
of their 20-day plates. The Hudson Town Hall office will
remain open for all other transactions during the transition
period.
According to the Hudson Police Department of Safety,
there will be an interruption in motor vehicle registration
processing statewide due to the states new computer
system. Throughout this process, the Hudson Town Clerks
office will be open for other transactions not related to
vehicle registrations during their normal, scheduled hours
of operation, according to the Hudson Police Departments
Facebook page. If you have a new registration, a temporary
plate or your registration renewal is due during February,
please make sure you are aware of the processing
interruption.
Please feel free to visit the DMV website at www.nh.gov/
dmv for updates concerning this implementation.
In other New Hampshire DMV news, the department
recently announced a new look to the New Hampshire
drivers license and non-driver Identification card, according
to the nh.gov/dmv website. The new
design will be phased in over five years
Four Levels of Care

and requires no additional action or cost on the part of New

Hampshire citizens. The new cards include state-of-the-art
security features not available during the last re-design in
2008 and will make the license one of the most advanced in
the nation.
The redesign not only makes the cards more attractive
and easy to read, but it also takes a significant step
forward in security and the protection of our customers
information, said DMV Director Elizabeth Bielecki. The
five-year phase in allows customers to wait until their
regular renewal date to receive the new license.
DMV customers who renew or apply for a license or nondriver identification card after January 2, 2017, will receive
the new design. Current licenses and non-driver IDs will
remain valid until their scheduled renewal. Those renewing
or being issued a new license at a DMV office will receive
a temporary license and the new license will be mailed to
them within sixty days. Those opting to renew online will
have the new license or non-driver ID mailed to them.
The new design has a more colorful background and
includes iconic New Hampshire symbols, such as a profile
of the Old Man of the Mountain, the purple lilac, and an
outline of the state.
The new design will also be REAL ID compliant for those
who choose to opt-in to that program. REAL ID compliant
licenses and ID cards may be used for certain federal
identification purposes, including boarding domestic flights
and entry into federal buildings. All current, valid licenses
can still be used to board domestic flights and for entry into
federal buildings until Oct. 1, 2020. Additional information
on REAL ID, including specific document requirements can
be found at nh.gov/dmv.
Rothe Selected as Alvirne Broncos

Head Football Coach
by Len Lathrop
While there was a snow day on Tuesday and
football is a fall sport, being a head coach means
that you are in charge of a program and not
just a team with a win/lost record. On Monday
night, the Hudson School Board elected Tarek
Rothe as the head football coach, based on a
recommendation from Alvirne Athletic Director
Karen Bonney.
Coach Rothe, when asked, gave a short history.
He has been coaching football for over 20 years
starting in Dracut, Mass., Pop Warner in 19932000, Nashoba Tech in Westford, Mass., 19941996; then came to Alvirne with Michael Defilice
in 2001 stayed under Bobby Nimblett through
2010.
In addition to football, Rothe also coached track
at Dracut from 1991-2001 (boys) and has been
the girls head track coach at Alvirne since 2002.
Rothe returned to football after a call from
Coach Gush from Campbell came calling in 2014.
He became the defensive coordinator for him for
two years, where he won a state title in 2014.
Rothe played for Dracut High School, winning
a state championship there as a senior (The Super
Bowl) as they are known in Massachusetts. He
was the MVP of the game. He was a two-year
starter as a running back and a defensive back.
Playing college football at the University of Lowell
as an outside linebacker, he was a teammate of
Jeff Moore now head coach at Bishop Guertin
High School in Nashua. During his time at
ULowell he was on the only team to qualify for
the NCAA tournament in the schools history.

A torn ACL at the end of that the 1991 season

essentially ended his playing career.
In a phone interview on Tuesday, Bonney,
spoke about Rothe and the needs of Alvirne and
the football program. Having three different
coaches in the past four years and seasons of only
winning one or two games makes it hard to build
a program. Having a head coach who teaches at
the school would help build the program pointed
out Bonney as Rothe has been with the Alvirne
Special Ed Department since 2006. She spoke
about his relationship with the students and how
he understands the need to build the program
and to get the students and the school community
to invest in it. Yet, Bonney believes Rothe
understands that in NH Division 1 athletes can
play both way ways. While Alvirne might have
started a game and looked competitive, often, by
the second half, the players were worn out and
the nature of the their play had changed.
The paper reached out to Coach Gush who
offered, I enjoyed working with Coach Rothe
very much when he was with us at Campbell. He
is very passionate and I know hell do a great job
at Alvirne. Im very happy for him and excited for
a new start for the program.
Rothes closed the conversation with this
comment: I love working where I work because
of the wonderful people that I work with, and I
truly love working with kids at the school. I dont
only have a passion for coaching but I have a
passion for Alvirne and I hope that that can make
a difference.

Statewide Poll Shows
Overwhelming Opposition
to Changes in Smoke-Free Law
Answers on page 9
submitted by the American Cancer Society

Poll results released today by the American
Cancer Society Cancer Action Network showed that
the voters of New Hampshire are overwhelmingly
supportive of the states current smoke-free law
and oppose attempts to once again allow smoking
in certain public places. This information was
released on the heels of ACS CANs annual legislative
breakfast, where over 50 cancer survivors and
advocates converged in Concord to urge lawmakers
to protect their right to breather clean indoor air and
oppose HB 279.
According to the poll, conducted by Public
Opinion Strategies, fully 88 percent of New
Hampshire voters oppose the proposed bill that
would allow smoking in grocery stores, restaurants,
cocktail lounges and bars. Majority support for the
current law is bi-partisan and spreads across every
demographic sub-group and geographic region of
New Hampshire. Even smokers themselves are
opposed to a change. Other findings of the poll
include:
84 percent of voters favor the current law
which prohibits smoking in bars, restaurants, and
other public places and only 14 percent oppose it.
An incredibly high 74 percent of voters strongly
favor the current law. A smoke-free environment is

important to voters, and by seven-to-one, they say
the right of employees and customers to breathe
smoke-free air is more important than the right of
smokers and business owners to allow smoking in
restaurants and bars.
70 percent of voters say they are less likely to
vote for their state legislator if they back this bill.
The results of this poll are unprecedented and
should send a loud and clear message to lawmakers:
voters overwhelmingly value their right to breath
clean indoor air, and wholeheartedly oppose any
changes to the states current smoke-free law, said
Mike Rollo, director of government relations for
ACS CAN in New Hampshire. There is simply no
political upside to supporting this bill, nor is there
any upside for the health of Granite Staters.
Along with voters statewide, ACS CAN strongly
opposes any legislation that would weaken New
Hampshires clean indoor air laws, said Rollo.
We hope lawmakers will take in account the
overwhelmingly high opposition to changing the
law as they debate HB 279. Voters have made their
opinion clear: now is the time to be looking forward
to continued progress in the fight against cancer
not the time for stepping back to undo a decade long
protection of clean indoor air in the Granite State.

Hudson Fire Assists Dracut Crews
Hudson Lieutenant Todd Berube and Firefighter Ian Canavan extinguish hot spots on the second floor of the home.
Dracut, Mass., firefighters strike four alarms for this fire at 215 Varnum Ave.
by David S. Morin
Hudson firefighters responded to the Town
of Dracut, Mass., on Jan. 14, to assist crews
there battle a four-alarm fire. Hudson Fire
Alarm received a call at approximately 5:30
a.m., requesting an engine
company to respond to the
fire at 215 Varnum Ave. in
Dracut.
Engine 4 and the duty
captain responded to the
scene. On their arrival
numerous fire companies
were battling the fire in the
single-family cape-style
home. The Hudson crew
was assigned to control the
heavy fire burning in the
second floor of the house.
A passerby discovered the flames and notified

9-1-1 of the fire. The residents dog was still in the
building, and the passerby entered the house filled
with fire and heavy smoke to rescue the animal.
The cold temperatures froze water from
the hose lines on contact causing hazardous
conditions for firefighters working at the scene.
Crews used the exhaust pipes from their engine to
melt ice from the breathing apparatus to allow for
the tanks to be refilled with breathing air.
Once the flames were knocked down Hudson
firefighters performed overhaul on the second
floor and removed family photos from the
building saving them from further damage.
Firefighters from Lowell and Tyngsborough,
Mass., along with Hudson, Pelham and Nashua,
assisted Dracut crews at the fire. Hudson crews
returned to town shortly before 8 a.m.

you choose the wrong coach for varsity football.
Maybe you should have a panel with some
experience on it so you can find an elite coach!

Every time I shop on Sundays I see you doing
nothing. You stand at the front end with your
nose up bossing the employees around. Youre
very condescending and often downright rude.
You obviously think you are too good to ring on
a register. I honestly dont know why they keep
you.
Thumbs down to the customers that lick their
fingers to count their money and hand it to the
cashier. Dont you realize you are handing your
nasty germs to the innocent employee making
minimum wage handling your food! Know
what else you find at Hannaford or Shaws that
you dont at Market Basket? High prices and
employees that dont acknowledge your existence.
So please feel free to shop elsewhere, we prefer
nice customers.

Traveling last Wednesday, Jan. 18 to Belmont
must have been a longer trip home than to their
school. While Campbell, who is now 6-2 on the
winter season, lost by 13 points to Belmont who
have been victors in all but one of their games.
The final was 64-75, and the Campbell squad
never led during the contest. Leading scorers for
the Cougars were Harrison Vedrani with 19 points
followed by Matt Gagne with 14.
Friday saw a win in the Cougar Den for
the home team when they ran over Prospect
Mountain with a final of 36 to 68. When the first
buzzer sounded the score tally was 18-6 on the
Cougars side of the scoreboard, and, at the half, it
was 35-19. Things did not get better for Prospect
Mountain, who only has one win this season, as
the third period ended 58-30.
The Vedrani boys led the scoring charge for the
Cougars, Harrison with 14 and Carter with 12.

Tuesdays snow forced a postponement of the

Bedford was scheduled to come to the Steckevicz
with a 9-1 record with their only defeat by Bishop
Guertin. Alvirne has played eight games without
a loss. The game was played on Wednesday, and
the paper will have gone to press, so watch for the
first paper on Feb. 3.
Last Thursday, during midterm exam week,
maybe an important foot note, maybe not, the
opponent was Spaulding High School from
Rochester, who from an outside look seemed to
be having a very bad season as they do not have
a W in the column. As the team was warming
up, the coach mentioned that their bigs were
hurt and not suited up because of a knee needing
surgery and an injured shoulder.
Now, readers, not knowing the scoring per
quarter, one might think the victory versus
Kn w Y ur Car
Bailey Joviak works hard for two from the paint.

Spaulding might have been a cake walk for the
Broncos. But it wasnt. Now lets throw a couple
more facts at you: there were very few in the
stands, for an undefeated team mid-season, and,
to hear from Coach Szuksta, the practice schedule
was different due to exams.
Well, you know that the ladies are still
untrounced with a final of 58 to 38, but was it the
same level of play that the ladies had shown this
season? In the third period, they had only nine
points. Amanda Wetmore led the scoring with
14, all but two points from play around the hoop;
Marissa Sweeney had 11 points, mostly from the
paint. Alvirne pitched in three 3s, and Kathryn
Bellomo worked as the field general and threw in
10 points.
Watch for next weeks report on the Bedford
game which happened as the paper was being
printed.

AHS Lady Gymnasts Earn Team-High Scores
Helen Smith on beam
Kaelyn Gagnon on floor
The Alvirne gymnastics team participated in two meets this past weekend.
On Friday in Salem, the Broncos competed against Exeter, Pelham, Dover,
Bishop Guertin, Manchester Central and West. Devin Rosier was acting as an
assistant coach due to an injury. Competing in all four events were Helen Smith
and Aisling Macaraeg. On the floor, Lauren Balukonius scored a 7.3 and Kaelyn
Gagnon joined in, while Helen took the highest team score
with a 7.4. Kaelyn competed on the beam along with Helen
and Aisling, recording a 6.0. On the vault Aisling secured
a team high of 8.1, while Kaelyn took a 7.0. Last on bars,
Lauren with Helen and Aisling placed well.

On the 18th, the Alvirne hockey players were at Kingswood High
school, a team they had played earlier this season at Skate 3, posting a
final score of Kingwood 4 and Alvirne 3. Wednesdays game saw the
Broncos put 3 in goal; scoring were Kyle Sintiris from Justin Hudgins,
Doug Herling from Damien Barahona and Jake Natola, and Doug
Herking unassisted. Unfortunately, Kingswood pushed the biscuit
across the line four times.
Dover (5-4) was at Skate 3 on Saturday at 6 p.m. When it is almost
50 degrees outside it makes the rink seem all that much colder when
youre inside the ice house. While the puck went in the net seven
times, none of them counted for the home team. The Broncos skated
hard and controlled the first-period action, but just could not get the
elusive goals.
As the paper goes to press, the Broncos will be in Portsmouth (3-4)
to play the Portsmouth/Newmarket combined team. Then the Broncos
will return home to Skate 3 on the 28th for a contest against Spaulding,
who is 3-4 on the season, at 6:10 p.m.

Alvirne Swimming and Diving
The following gives the results from our swim meet on
Jan. 20 with Londonderry, Goffstown, John Stark, Spaulding,
Campbell and Salem High Schools along with the diving
results from the Nashua South Diving Invite. Both Bronco
teams continued their dominance in the pool and on the
board posting multiple best swims and dives while improving
their overall dual meet records to a very impressive 22-2
for the ladies and an outstanding 15-8-1 for the gentleman
respectively. The coaches and I are very proud of the
accomplishments we have made heading down the stretch.
We like where we are as a team and are very much looking
forward to our next meet at Oyster Rivers Bobcat Invitational
tomorrow (Jan. 21) along with our final dual meet of the
season next Saturday against Bishop Guertin, Bedford and
Windham at the Boys & Girls Club in Nashua.
