by AJ Dickinson The staff of Fairview Nursing Home in Hudson held their annual screenplay this past Tuesday, January 7. This years performance of A Christmas Carol might have been their best play yet. While slightly altered from the original, the passionate acting of the Fairview staff members whose characters really seemed to t the script brought this hysterical classic to life. The staff, who had never rehearsed the play as a group before, was led by Activities Director Kevin McGee who played the main role of Ebenezer Scrooge. Kevin explained that because he played the main character he could work with each person individually practicing his or her lines at the most convenient time for each actor.
The play contained all of the good elements of a grand performance consisting of a bit of comedy and drama mixed with some song and dance. Kevin reected on the performance by saying, Its nice for them to see us all in a different light, rather than just buzzing up and down the hallways We like to have fun on the oor and we like to have fun doing this. The residents seemed to fully enjoy the performance, as they laughed and gave a round of applause, one resident even started dancing with a staff member causing laughter to spread throughout the room. These plays not only give the residents something to look forward to, but they also give them something to joke about year round.

Having made the initial preparations which included installing two stair lifts so Andrew could move about the home, the Fragalas wanted to install a ramp off an existing deck so Andrew could have access to their yard while also providing a secondary emergency egress from the home. Thats when the Litcheld Lions stepped in. Peter Antonucci, friend and neighbor of the Fragala family, contacted the Lions Club about the need for the handicap ramp. Lions Club member Rick Riley then met with Kevin Lynch, Litcheld Building Department, to get the ball rolling on the project. What took place next was truly amazing. continued to page 7- Wheelchair Ramp

Thumbs Up?
Thumbs up to all the wonderful people at the Hudson Food Pantry, not just for your amazing generosity but your sheer commitment, love, and care you show us. I dont know how my kids and I would have made it through the roughest time of our lives without you. You are all an inspiration to me! When I am back on my feet, I will pay it forward and join the cause, the world needs more people like you! Thank you for your support, care, and hugs! Happy New Year and God Bless all of you! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Thumbs up to great friends and the best Scachatta ever! I believe we forgot our doggy bag! Thumbs down to Hudson schools. Why wait until 5:30 a.m. to cancel school when it was obvious that it would need to be cancelled the night before? Families could have had time to plan better with the advanced notice. Thumbs up to the front desk Manager at Sullivan Tire for his honesty and going above and beyond to x my tire. Thank you. Thumbs down to our postal carrier in the Barrett Hill subdivision. Just because a delivery truck is partially parked in front of our mailbox, doesnt mean you can skip our delivery for the day. Get some exercise and get out of the car once in awhile. I watch your laziness every day.

calls, you managed to proactively patrol Stoney Lane, as well as dedicate 13 specic patrols to monitor trafc speed even though only one complaint was received for speeding cars. The result of HPD presence on Stoney Lane - one minor car accident from 2003-2013. The HPD is doing their job. Thumbs down to a local oil company. I never was so cold in my whole life and I have lung disease and Im still cold today and I think we should have an explanation of where the oil went. Thumbs up to the snow plow contractor working at the Litcheld schools. I have three kids, one in each school, and I am very impressed with the condition of the snow removal and parking lots. With this weather Im sure it has been incredibly worrisome and you have done an amazing job. I just wanted to say thank you. Thumbs down ... way down to Jason Gurette and his sidekick. Stop acting like spoiled brats when you cant bully people into voting your way. You claim to speak for all citizens ... you do not. Your confrontational behavior makes you look foolish ... grow up, both of you! If Litcheld is so bad ... move and spare us all your antics! Thumbs down to the 8th grade Girls Basketball Coach for a Christmas tournament that was played by only 5 of the 10 girls on his team. Every year its the same thing but HMS continues to allow this coach, to pick his few favorites who will play, scream at the girls (favorite or not) with inappropriate comments, or withhold a handshake to the girl that displeases him at games end. He should be focused on providing well developed players for the high school but focuses all his attention to only those hes decided can get him the win. Does he really believe that using his full team will lose his precious game for him? It seems to be more about himself winning than it does about the young girls on his team and team development.

Also, a big thank you to everyone that made a donation. Over $2,450 was raised for this great cause. Thumbs up to the Tea Party otherwise known as 90% of the country that wants Obama, liberals, Obamacare, lazy, lying, morally corrupt contributors to this column to be rid of in 2014. Cant wait! Heres to Hillary and Obama in prison 2016. Thumbs down to Clyde Bubars letter of Jan. 3 it is obvious to me that he does not have a clue as to what todays Tea Party is all about. Do some research rst instead of acting as a lackey of the Socialist Communist left. Thumbs down to the parent at Hills Garrison School driving a small silver car. You dropped your kid off in the middle of the parking lot while we waited in line like youre supposed to do, but we were responsible for making sure your child was safe. Im giving your license plate to the School Resource Ofcer. Thumbs up to Laurie Jasper, a talented writer on a recent article about a neighbor, Mrs. Nadeau, a great lady.

Lady Broncos Back in Action
by Sue LaRoche Alvirnes Lady Broncos have a 2-1 record in NHIAA Division 1 basketball and are 4-2 overall after their 44-23 victory over the Merrimack Tomahawks on Tuesday, January 7, at Alvirne High School. This was the second time Alvirne defeated Merrimack following a convincing 61-30 victory in the Nashua Holiday Tournament. The Broncos got off to a very slow start going 6 for 19 from the eld and 1 for 7 from the 3-point line in the rst half. It was a very low scoring half as Alvirne took a 16-13 lead into the locker room. Coach Steve Tracy remarked about the rst half, we had too many uncharacteristic turnovers, but turned up the defensive pressure and execution like we talked about at half time. Alvirne better than doubled their point total in the second half, pulling away from Merrimack for the 21 point victory. Sandi Purcell led the scoring with 12 points, four steals and three assists followed by Kaycee Carbone with eight points and seven rebounds. Brittney Lambert added six points, four rebounds and two blocked shots. The junior varsity squad also came away with a big victory winning 52-34. Amanda Wetmore led the scoring with 12 points, followed by Emily Ratte with 11, Katie Bellomo with nine and Marissa Sweeney with seven. The Broncos suffered their second loss of the season, rst in NHIAA Division 1, on January 4 as they played Pinkerton in Derry and lost 48-42. Alvirne found themselves behind from the start and just could not manage to put together enough of a run to catch the Astros. The Broncos were down 17-14 in the rst quarter as Veronica Moceri pumped through 10 points to keep the Broncos close. Alvirne was outscored 10-4 in the second quarter widening the gap to 27-18 at the half. . Again, it was one bad quarter that cost the Broncos. The Pinkerton game was a good game with two good evenly matched teams going at it. We had one lapse in the second quarter as well that cost us. We would all like to have that game back, explained Tracy. The Broncos had a good third quarter, outscoring Pinkerton 17-13 but didnt have enough in the nal stanza to overcome the decit. Moceri led the Broncos with 13 points followed by Sandi Purcell with 10 points and Brittney Lambert with nine points. Kaycee Carbone added three points and 12 rebounds, Marissa Sweeney added three points and one rebound, Tori LaRoche had two points and three rebounds and Jess Baker had two points. Alvirne will be at home again on Friday, January 10, as they take on the Green Wave of Dover and again on Friday, January 17, against defending Division 1 champions, Bedford.

States Top High School Football Players to Participate in Charity Game of Kids Helping Kids
submitted by Childrens Hospital at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Childrens Hospital at Dartmouth-Hitchcock (CHaD) is pleased to announce its roster for the third annual CHaD NH East West High School All-Star Football Game, presented by Bedford and Nashua Ambulatory Surgical Centers, which includes 80 top athletes from across New Hampshire. The game, which raises funds for CHaD, features standout graduating senior athletes from every division in a battle between teams East and West. The game is set for June 28, at Saint Anselm Colleges Grappone Stadium. Litchelds Christian McKenna of Campbell High School has been selected to join team East, led by head coach Tony Johnson. Head coaches Paul Lavigne (West) and Tony Johnson (East) along with their coaching staffs selected teams from a pool of nearly 170 players.

Both teams East and West are made up of players believed to be the strongest in the state.

Players voluntarily raise funds for the cause, seeking the generosity of family, friends and local businesses. The game has raised more than $500,000 since its founding in 2011.

The stands were lled, PMAs cheerleaders provided the enthusiasm and the game was packed with energy and action. For many of the second to fourth graders, this was their rst game ever of organized basketball; but it sure didnt look like it as passes whizzed around from teammate to teammate, defenses clamped down and players ran up and down the oor like seasoned veterans. The intense and exciting game left
players exhausted but smiling as they left the court to be met by their very proud parents. Despite the points on the scoreboard, this event was truly a win-win for everyone involved!

by Marc Ayotte The Alvirne wrestling team took a break from intra-divisional competition on Saturday, January 4 when they hosted and defeated Division I Nashua South (39-36) and Division III John Stark Regional (42-33). The Broncos received strong performances in the lightweight classes, led by Nick Millinazzo who was the only wrestler to compete on the mats twice and come away with two wins. Also recording a win in actual competition on the day for Alvirne and contributing to the team wins were: Taylor Thyne (120), Ben Katsohis (126), John Plante (132), Chad Cunningham (138), David Cailler (170), Jake Noonan (182), Jacob Rice (190) and Cole Sevigny (220). In the opening battle of the muti-divisional trimeet that started at the 132 weight class, Alvirne jumped out to 24-6 lead in the team competition against South on the strength of wins from Plante, Cunningham and the luxury of a pair of forfeit wins at 145 and 160. The Panthers clawed their way back, taking the next three matches with pin wins, evening the score at 24. Sevigny stopped Souths surge; putting the Broncos back on top with a win by fall over Jacob Barton at 1:35 of their match. With an Alvirne forfeit loss in the heavyweight class, the match was squared at 3030 and primed for an exciting nish. Nick Millinazzo (113) jumped out to a quick 5-0 lead, but Souths Kevin Melanson scored a late reversal, and after one period, things were knotted at ve apiece. Millinazzo grabbed a 7-5

Alvirne Shoots Down Astros in Home Opener
by Marc Ayotte After their appearance at the Chick-l-A tournament and a snowed-out cancellation of Fridays home opener, the Broncos nally got back into its Division I regular season schedule when they hosted Pinkerton Academy on Saturday, January 4. Alex Wetmore and Sam BonneyLiles combined for 34 points for the game as the Broncos evened their season mark at 1-1 with a 72-60 win over the visiting Astros. Showing some rust from a near, week-long layoff, both teams stumbled out to a 10-10 tie after the rst eight minutes of action; with eight of the Bronco points coming from the charity stripe. The Broncos broke things open in the second stanza with an offensive outburst paced by Bonney-Liles and Evan Hunt. Bonney-Liles personal run of six straight involved an offensive rebound put back just 20 seconds in, a lay-in off the steal of George Notini and a pair of free throws that pushed the lead to 16-10. A lot of guys stepped up tonight, assessed Seth Garon, who added specically, Sam Bonney had a great night tonight. With Alvirne on top by a single bucket, Evan Hunt then took center stage. The six foot two inch junior brought some life into the Steckevicz gymnasium; draining back to back tantalizing trifectas from in front of the PA bench in a 50 second span to give the Broncos a 24-19 advantage with 3:39 remaining in the half. Evan hit a couple of big shots, reected Garon of Hunts timely pair of long range jumpers. After the Astros pulled to within two, at 26-24 with 1:10 showing on the clock, the Broncos ran-off the ensuing seven points to close the half.

Alvirnes George Notini earns a trip to the foul line after being hacked by Pinkertons Jeremy Dietzel. Another hoop from Bonney-Liles (17 points on the night) a converted steal by Justin Glenzer and a Brett Richardson twine-tickling triple at the buzzer pushed the Alvirne lead to 33-24 as both teams

headed to their respective locker rooms. With the lead trimmed to four, a Brown brother connection gave the Broncos a 4135 lead with 4:28 left in the third after Tyler hit Dan with a heads-up three-quarter court length pass. The older Brown followed that up with an individual AND 1 less than a minute later, making the score 44-37. Pinkertons Luke Rosinski (game high 27 points) spearheaded a 6-0 run for the Astros, pulling his team back to within a single point at 44-43 with just under two minutes left in the quarter. However, another nice defensive effort by Glenzer resulted in Alex Wetmore knocking down a 12 footer from in front of his own bench as the Broncos held on to a precarious 47-43 lead going into the nal frame. In the decisive fourth quarter, Alvirne erupted for 25 points, paced by Wetmore who scored seven of his team-tying high 17 points on the evening. Tyler Brown, who had a quiet evening by relative measures, came up big in the fourth, scoring six of his 11 points while Bonney-Liles whose foul line-extended jumper 22 seconds in, along with a three-pointer from the right wing, set the tone for the nal eight Evan Hunt connects on the second of his two, second-quarter minutes. trifectas against Pinkerton in the home opener.
