Both the Hudson Selectmen and Planning
Board this fall have had discussions about
traffic on the streets of the town. A third
party to these conversations also has been the
Nashua Regional Planning Commission.
According to the NRPC website, the
commission was established in 1959 and is
the oldest of New Hampshires nine regional
planning commissions. The group was formed
by the City of Nashua and the Town of Hudson
to address highway congestion and coordinate
land use development. That same spirit of
regional cooperation and problem solving
characterizes the commissions activities today.
Now serving 13 municipalities, including
Nashua and Hudson as well as Amherst,
Brookline, Hollis, Litchfield, Lyndeborough,
Mason, Merrimack, Milford, Mont Vernon,
Pelham, and Wilton, the commission focuses
on developing and implementing innovative
planning strategies that preserve and improve
the quality of life in southern New Hampshire.
In Hudson the officials and staff and most
everyone else agree that the six biggest projects
are, as outlined in the planning boards Oct. 3
Notice of Decision:
1) Complete a corridor study of Lowell Rd.
(Rte. 3A), from the Sagamore Bridge Rd.
intersection to Central St. Note: the board
determined that the completion of this
study is essential, relative to improving
the safety and convenience of travel along
this corridor, which is the only north/
south travel corridor in Hudson, and is
overburdened with traffic during the a.m.
and p.m. peak commuter hours.
2) Intersection of Kimball Hill Rd./Route 111/
Greeley St. - modify the existing traffic
signal at this intersection to include:
(i) an exclusive left-turn arrow for Kimball
Hill Rd. westbound onto Rte. 111, and
for said left-turn arrow to coincide with
an added exclusive left-turn arrow for
Greeley St. eastbound onto Rte. 111.
Also, exclusive travel lanes be added
at this intersection for Kimball Hill Rd.
westbound and north (through) traffic.
3) Intersection of Birch St. and Lowell Rd. relocate the utility pole on the southwest
corner of this intersection, i.e., to a
location that provides safe and efficient
southbound Birch St. movements onto
Lowell Rd.
4) Entrance ramp onto Sagamore Bridge
Highway - modify this ramp and provide
two lane ramp access to Sagamore Bridge
Rd. from Lowell Rd. and Wason Rd.
5) Intersection of Pelham Rd. /Lowell
Rd. - add a traffic signal. Note: this
signal would be coordinated with the
existing signal at Nottingham Square,
and would essentially be a fourth phase
to the Nottingham traffic signal, treating
both intersections as one. Further, the
proposed Pelham Rd. signal would only
be green for Pelham Rd. and red for
Lowell Rd., when northbound Lowell
Rd. is red at Nottingham Square and
the southbound left-turn arrow into
Nottingham Square from Lowell Rd. is
also red.
6) Amend the Ferry St./Central St. /Library St.
/Highland St. Traffic Signal Improvement
Project by installing cameras at the
following legs of this multiple road
junction:
(i) Central St. NB, at the Ferry St.
(ii) Library St. NB at Ferry St., and
(iii) Highland St. WB at the Derry St.
signal.
As with everything there is a price tag, so
Town Planner John Cashell was kind enough to
provide some estimates of the cost to complete
the work:
Project 1 - $100,000
Project 2 - $400,000
Project 3 - $30,000
Project 4 - $1,000,000
Project 5 - $300,000
Project 6 - $150,000
Total cost for all six projects is $1,980,000.
Selectman McGrath, during a recent
selectmen meeting, stated that there were
impact funds for roadway improvements,
that the planning board had collected from
developed for these improvements.
During that same meeting Selectman Coutu
was very upset that anyone would think about
spending more taxpayers money on the
roadway around Library Park. He stated that
they were worse than before all the changes
over the past year. He continued that the town
should be trying to have the engineers who did
the plans reimburse the town for the problem
or pay to correct the issues.
Lets see what the next steps are.

Bernie Manor Left his Mark as Clerk of the Works

Bernie received the Greater Hudson Chamber of Commerce Citizen of the Year Award in 2014.
Pictured above with his family.
by Laurie Jasper
Bernard Bernie Manor, 78, passed away
Oct. 1 at his home, surrounded by his family.
Born in Burlington, Vt., and raised in Jericho,
Vt., Bernie, his wife, Kathy, and their four
children moved to Hudson in 1975 and
quickly became involved in their town.
Bernie, who worked for U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers in Massachusetts and Connecticut
for 35 years, shared his vast knowledge on
various Hudson boards and committees,
living a life of service to his community.
Hudson resident Phyllis Appler said, I served
with Bernie on the Hudson Conservation
Commission in the late 70s and 80s. We
did a lot of crashing through the underbrush
checking out wetlands. He was always a voice
of reason on the commission, with a wisecrack
on the side. What a loss for Hudson.
For many years, Bernie was a member of the
Hudson Planning Board and Municipal Utility
Committee. He also served as chairman of
the sewer committee and as a member of the
building board of appeals.
Hudsons Town Planner John Cashell

recalled Bernies strong work ethic.

From the first time I worked with
Bernie on a Hudson project, back in
2002, I knew I was working with a
man who knew what he was doing
and what he needed to do to get the
job done. Bernie was always looking
out for Hudsons best interest, and
no one brought more to the table to
help Hudson achieve its goals. His
talents and skills for getting the job done will
be sorely missed by all who were fortunate to
know this very special man, shared Cashell.
Bernie became the go to guy for all major
projects in Hudson, rightfully earning the
title, Clerk of the Works. Bernie oversaw
the construction of Hills Garrison Elementary
School, which was completed in 2001,
working closely with the Hudson School
Board. He was also involved in the Memorial
School addition at the same time.
He was a classic Vermont farmer, said
David Alukonis, who was chairman of the
Hudson School Board
during the construction

of HGS. He was practical and methodical

and could make the most complicated thing
simple, bringing it down to simple terms. He
was constantly on site as the eyes and ears of
the Hudson School District and town, said
Alukonis.
Hudson resident Elaine Brody agreed. Ive
known Bernie for many years. The first project
we worked on together was the Hills Garrison
School. I worked with a group called March
to March to inform Hudson residents of the
importance of getting out the vote to build the
school and on the school building committee.
Bernie was the one person I knew who knew

Instead, he withdrew the monies from the account
and used them for his own personal expenses
for over seven years. Because his mothers death
was not reported to Social Security, Duquette was

Webb, who passed away on Sept. 27 at 80 years

of age. Webb retired in 2001 from his position
as director of Vocational Education at Alvirne
High School, after working for the Hudson School
District for 38 years. By unanimous vote, the
school district named the facility Webb
worked so hard to plan the Wilbur H.
Palmer Vocational Technical Center at its
dedication in 1993. Webb was an Alvirne
trustee at the time of his death.
Fittingly, Alvirne vocational students
played key roles in the service, with FFA
students passing out programs, horticulture
students contributing beautiful floral
arrangements, media students producing
the slide show presentation and culinary
students baking for the reception held
afterward in the cafeteria. Alvirne
AFJROTC presented the colors and led the
salute to the flag. Current B Naturals and
alumni performed an emotional a cappella
rendition of Amazing Grace, conducted
by Choral Director Michael Gallagan.
Alvirne Principal Steve Beals noted that
Webb gave a directive to retired Alvirne
Choral Director Candy Friborg that this be
sung at his memorial service.
In a true testament to the many people
whose lives were touched by Webb, those
in attendance included family members,
friends, many former colleagues and
students. Throughout the program, those
who spoke shared a common theme about
Webb and his faith, hard work, sacrifice
and love of family.
Dan Hicks, the owner of Sunnycrest Farm
in Londonderry, shared with the crowd his
thoughts on Webb. His eyes listened to
everything you said. He wanted to inspire
you to go out and do what he did, Hicks
said. He tried to get people to never say
no. He taught every day until he died.
Lets take a little bit of Webb Palmer and
bring it further.

Remember Hudson When ...

The House at 26 Lawrence Road
by Ruth Parker
This house at 26 Lawrence Road is remembered by many,
including myself, as the home of Hazel and Walter McInnis
and their daughter Winnie. The McInnis family purchased
this farm in August 1944 from the family of Edward
Senneville.
For many years Walter McInnis was a dairy farmer using
the brook located across from his barn on Lawrence Road to
water his cows when the farm well was low. Until the new
Route 111 was constructed in the middle 1960s, this was the
state road and traffic along the road was often halted while
approximately 12 cows crossed the road to get water from
the brook! Mr. McInnis passed in 1969. Mrs. McInnis and
Winnie lived here until the farm was sold in August 1982 to
the Marcum family.
In 1858 this was the home of Simeon Robinson, Jr. and by
1892 it was the home of his son Frank. Simeon, Jr. was born
in March 1821 and by the age of 23 he was a single father
and a widower. His first wife, Elizabeth, passed away in
1844 leaving him with their 4-year-old son, Lucius. In 1848,
Simeon, Jr. married Charlotte Glidden. Their oldest son,
Frank, was born in 1850. Upon the death of Simeon, Jr. in 1897, the
farm passed to his son Frank. It was sold in October 1924 to Warren
Gilcrest by Franks widow, Alecia, and two daughters, Charlotte and
Annette. Gilcrest owned the place until 1942 when it was sold to
the Senneville family.
Take a look at the photos of this house. The earlier photo was
taken about 1893. Based upon the ages of Simeon, Jr. and members
of the Frank Robinson family at that time period, the people in this

photo are likely Franks wife, Alecia, his father Simeon, Jr., Frank
himself, and Franks young daughters, Charlotte and Annette. The
recent photo shows the house as it looks today and is the photo of
record with the Town of Hudson.
The Robinson family moved into this part of Hudson (then
Londonderry) in 1763 when Peter Robinson, Simeon, Jr.s
grandfather, purchased a farm of about 150 acres from Elisha and
Mary Cummings of Londonderry. Peter moved here by 1768 with
two adult sons, Simeon and Douglas, plus his second wife and their

Simeon remained in this area and married Susannah Tarbox. The
descendants of Simeon and Susannah settled on Peters farm. This
farm, now at 11 Old Robinson Road, remains in the family line from
Simeon and Susannah. After the death of Susannah in 1818, Simeon
married a second time to a widow, Susan (Wyman) Tarbox. They
had one son, Simeon, Jr. who ultimately settled at what is now 26
Lawrence Road.

The Word Around Town...

Letters to our Editor

Entertained by the Fox Column

Im not writing this as a member of the Planning Board, though I am one.
Im writing as a bemused HLN reader who was entertained by this weeks Fox
column. I thought I would have some fun and give the readers of the column a
little insight.
First, the HLN is not the New York Times. Good thing. Between the two,
the HLN gets it right more often.
On that point, the Fox got a some of the story on the Planning Boards
recommendations to the Selectmen right. Some other aspects of the Planning
Boards letter may have been a bit confusing and were misinterpreted. The Fox
started with a report that the Selectmen received a letter from the Planning
Board headed NOTICE OF DECISION. The Fox then went on to ask why
the Planning Board was getting involved with matters better handled by the
Selectmen and the Nashua Regional Planning Board (NRPC).
Why would the Planning Board, which meets every few weeks in the
basement of Town Hall and whose main task is to review projects, get the
notion to make trac recommendations?
Well, first, one of the mandates of the Planning Board is to ... plan. The
towns Master Plan, the Land Use Regulations, the Zoning Ordinance, the
yearly Capital Improvement Project list are just a few of the things they plan
in conjunction with other Town Boards. And since the NRPC has come to
the Planning Board on numerous occasions to consult about things like trac
along the three main trac corridors in Hudson, trac is one of the things
they plan for. Trac plays an important part in reviewing projects in town.
Thats not something that you think about right away concerning a board that
approves subdivisions, housing projects and shopping centers.
As an example, when the beautiful and fun outdoor deck at T-Bones came
before the Board, the issues of parking and trac on Birch Street came up. This
included the phone pole that is really close to the intersection at Lowell Road
that was one of the items in the recommendation to the Selectmen.
So what makes those folks in the basement qualified to make suggestions
to the Selectmen? Well, two of the members are Selectmen (one Member and
one Alternate Member). Among the other highly qualified members are a State
Legislator, a retired State Police Captain and a Professional Engineer with an
incredible resume who has worked on billions (yes, with a b) of dollars worth
of highway projects.
Now what was that NOTICE OF DECISION about? Although it would
appear to be a demand or a fait accompli, the Planning Board merely decided
by vote to make suggestions to the Selectmen. If the Selectmen liked the
suggestions, they, the Selectmen, would proceed to implement them. If the
Selectmen didnt like the suggestions, well, theres a recycling bin on the first
floor of Town Hall. All Planning Board decisions, including ones to merely
recommend something, are headed NOTICE OF DECISION. That makes it
an ocial suggestion.
The Planning Board does not have the authority to demand anything of the
Selectmen. So it doesnt. And it didnt.
To answer the Foxs question, How much would all of the recommendations
cost? the answer is a lot, taken as a whole. Some of the recommendations are
relatively inexpensive, like moving a phone pole. Some are far more expensive.
Its up to the Selectmen to pick out what they do or dont want to do, and it
appears that they liked some of the recommendations and are moving forward
with them. (Thanks, Selectmen.)
So whats the point of this letter? Its to pass on a little information about the
workings of one of the Towns boards, and to say Rock on, Fox! Even if you
dont get it completely right, you get people to talk about whats going on in
Hudson, and thats good.
Glenn Della-Monica, Hudson

nation and we rank last in our facilities for treatment. We must find provable
solutions and the resources to implement them. Dan is committed to do that
as a top priority.
This past session we saw a bi-partisan eort by the NH Legislature to expand
Medicaid enabling 50,000 more people to have health insurance. This was
one states eort to show Washington what can be accomplished when elected
ocials from both parties work together. Dans opponent is committed to
reverse this.
Dans opponent is committed to defund Planned Parenthood which would
deny women access to aordable cancer screenings and preventative care. The
most recent funding only passed the Executive Council by one vote.
Dans opponent is also opposed to extending rail service to Nashua and
Manchester. This is a project that has almost unlimited potential for jobs and
economic growth not just for the region but for the entire state.
Clean energy is also a priority for Dan as it should be for all of us.
Dan Weeks is an exciting new young political voice in the spirit of the late
Granny D for our state and region. Lets not miss the opportunity to get him
aboard and see what can be accomplished for District 5 and the State.

Enough Is Enough (Obamas Legacy)

People are saying, I dont recognize my country anymore. Maybe its
because of some of the following changes occurring in the last eight years:
increased racial division; rioting and burning buildings in major cities; killings
by radical extremist with bombs, knives and shootings in streets and malls;
killings of police; IRS targeting conservative organizations; government
taking over student loans; increasing the national debt by 80 percent;
amnesty for illegal immigrants to increase the democrat voting base; failed
economic stimulus; open borders; flooding of refugees; sanctuary cities
for criminals and illegal immigrants; down-grading our military; neglecting
military veterans; unconstitutional executive orders; Common Core, a failed
federal education program; increased tensions between Iran and U.S.; same
sex marriage; transgender bathrooms; cradle to grave welfare; failed nuclear
peace deal with Iran; giving Iran (country that supports terrorists) $1.7 billion
in ransom; openly hostile to Israel, our most crucial ally in the Middle East;
cyber security threats; lying about Aordable Care Act (Obamacare) being
aordable, reducing cost, and keeping doctors; Obamacare infringing on
religious liberties; IRS fines for citizens not purchasing health insurance; jobs
reduced from full time to part time; 14,179,000 fewer people in the workforce;
poor trade deals; many companies moving to Mexico; anemic (1%) economic
growth; home ownership down 5.6 percent; median household income down
2.3 percent; Americans on food stamps up 39.5 percent; Isis taking over Iraq
after our troops were withdrawn; releasing five Guantanamo prisoners for one
military deserter; Isis growing - now in 28 countries; destroying the reputation
of the FBI; Dr. Dinesh DSouza, who made a movie about Obamas America,
went to prison for eight months for making a $2,000 campaign donation to a
friend who was running for the senate; weakened Americas place in the world;
claims climate change is the biggest threat facing our country; Russia and
China accelerating their incursion in the world; appointed two extremely liberal
Supreme Court Justices; challenging our religious freedoms; and changing the
face of America.
Hillary Clinton plans to continue with Obamas legacy, and bring in at least
another 65,000 refugees and wants to increase taxes and food stamps. She and
her family have been living o their charity, Clinton Foundation with less than
20 percent going to charities, and paid speeches. Its all about money with
the Clintons. While in the White House the Clintons actually rented out the
Lincoln bedroom. When the Clintons moved out of the White House, they
took $200,000 worth of furniture, china, and artwork which they were forced
to return.
As Secretary of State her record is as follows: diverted funds for Haiti
relief after 2010 earthquake; ignored calls for help before and during the
Benghazi attack; put the U.S. under great risk by mishandling of 22 national
defense top secret e-mails; had her lawyers destroy her 33,000 emails after
a Congressional subpoena was issued; cash flowed to Clinton Foundation
after approving Russian uranium deal; she approved XL Pipeline after Canada
made a contribution to Clinton Foundation; she called the Trans-Pacific
Partnership the gold standard but now is against the TPP; told Brazilian
bankers that she dreams of open borders and open trade in our hemisphere;
took Clinton Foundation contributions for favors (pay to play) from Middle
Eastern countries; she admitted that her private discussions dier from her
public stance on many issues; has insulted Catholics and Evangelicals in emails;
supports late term abortions; has received funding from big oil companies for
favors; conspires with the main stream
media (Democrat campaign hacks); has
said she would appoint Supreme Court
Justices who will change and shape the
law - not interpret the Constitution;
unable to account for $6 billion of State
Department funds; when interrogated
about her emails by the FBI, she
responded 21 times, I do not recall. If
elected, Hillary will appoint only liberal
Supreme Court Justices. Hillary Clinton

How to Deal with

Difficult Bosses
Since I have worked in many different types of jobs and had
to deal with a shiny rainbow of different people, I am going to
impart my wisdom on how to deal with the variety of bosses
that you will encounter throughout your life. Good timing on
my part since Oct. 16 was national Bosss Day. My wisdom will
only help you identify what kind of boss you have. Before you
follow any of my advice on how to deal with your type of boss,
ask yourself do I love my job more than I hate my boss? If the
answer is no, then great! That means you dont care if you lose
your job and I suggest start looking for a new one now.
1. The psychotic boss. This boss may have a secret drug
problem or some sort of unknown underlying cause of their
absolute insanity. Not sure if these bosses are just bored or
on some kind of power trip. Whatever the reason for their
psychological issues, its unfortunate when you have to deal
with it. Their behavior may leave you wondering how they
have made it this far and how they function successfully
on a day-to-day basis. With this kind of boss you need to
accept that everything is your fault. It doesnt matter if it
isnt, you just gotta take it because defending yourself will
only make it worse. When they are going off on one of
their mile-a-minute rants, nod at the appropriate places
and just ignore them. The skill of not listening is equally
as important as listening. Never ever disagree or interrupt
them or bad things
will happen. They are
always right and you
are always wrong. Try
to keep your questions
and conversation with
All About
them as minimal as
possible. Find a new
job ASAP.
2. The boss who doesnt
care. I actually enjoy this boss. I just personally anoint
myself as unofficial leader and make people do the task
that I dont want to do even though I have absolutely no
grounds to stand on. Todays high schoolers are so gullible.
Its a great learning situation because when your boss
doesnt care you have to figure out how to solve problems
and fix your own mistakes. The only problem is when
things start to go south and things are going above your
head and your pay grade will they come through? Maybe
not and youre going to have a lot of angry screaming
customers coming your way.
3. The mean boss. If any of you have ever worked in a
kitchen you know the kind that Im talking about. Its like
the less talented, less successful, less attractive but equally
mean version of Chef Gordon Ramsay as your boss. These
bosses are degrading and nitpicking. Often times its just
not worth it. Thats when you throw in your towel and say,
I dont get paid enough to deal with this (insert creative
word here) and storm out. Before you quit make sure
you hurl one last clever insult out to your boss. Screw
rising above, say your peace and make a dramatic exit. I
know that you should never severe ties with a place of
employment, but sometimes its necessary.
4. The patronizing boss. This boss thinks that you are an
idiot, useless, and cant do anything right. Who knows
maybe you do suck at your job and cant do anything right?
I dont know. Maybe if you get better at your job your boss
will back off a bit. However, if you are good at you job and
youre confident about your knowledge and your ability to
handle the tasks at hand dont be afraid to tell your boss to
back off a little (as politely as possible).
5. Last and my least favorite kind of boss is the slightly lesser
intelligent, over emotional, and gets way too into work
drama kind of boss. Im sorry but there is no crying in
the workplace, especially if you are a boss. Toughen up!
Crying is a sign of weakness, not a sign that you are in
tune with your emotions. You can cry, cuddling a bottle
of wine, when youre safe at home by yourself. If you cry
in front of employees or customers they are going to walk
all over you. Dont get involved in the employee drama
either. Unless its affecting work performance just ignore
it. Youre supposed to be above it. Let the kids figure it out
themselves; chances are they will. If not you may have a
bigger problem on your hands.
Anyways, if youre reading this and you realize that you
are one of these five types of bosses, good, you can try to
change. If youre reading this and you realize that you work
for one of these five different types of bosses either suck it up
or quit. Chances are youre working 40 hours a week. Do
you want to be miserable for those 40 hours? As always have
a super awesome day and feel free to email me at nicole@
areanewsgroup.com with any of your questions, comments,
concerns, compliments or complaints.

Nan King began 36 years ago and has become a Hudson staple
for Chinese/Asian cuisine.
Our food has come to encompass local flavor and tastes. We
currently serve Chinese, Cantonese, Polynesian and Schezuan style
dishes. From time to time we also add some American and other
ethnic items to our menu and buffet.
We pride ourselves on being a family friendly restaurant with a
come as you are mentality. You can often see photos and cards put
up from our friends and customers in the local area.
Nan King also provides take out trays for our menu items. Are
you having a football party, World Series party and dont like lots of
takeout boxes to serve your
guests? Call ahead and order
either half trays or full trays
for better serving options.
The highlight of our
restaurant is our buffet
offerings. We offer a weekly
lunch buffet and a dinner
buffet Friday, Saturday and
Sunday evenings. Our buffets
have a good mix of our most
popular items as well as fresh
fruit and desserts.
It would be our pleasure to
serve you and your family.
Nan King is also grateful for
the return of Brady! Go Pats!

The contracts have been finalized, and
construction will soon be underway to get the
people of Litchfield connected to public water.
The goal is to get 173 of the 360 houses
connected by the end of 2016. Larry Goodhue,
CEO of Pennichuck, said that they are going to do
their best to connect as many of those 173 homes
as possible, weather permitting. The rest will be
connected in 2017.
Those who dont get connected this year will
receive a temporary point-of-use system, until they
can be successfully hooked up to public water.
Although the connection is free for the
Litchfield residents who have been affected by
elevated levels of Perfluorooctanesulfonic acid
caused by Saint-Gobain Performance Plastics,
there will still be an average of $60 a month water

bill per household. Saint-Gobain, Pennichuck and

New Hampshire Department have been working
together to ensure that the people of Litchfield get
safe drinking water.
On Tuesday, Oct. 25 at 7 p.m. at the Campbell
High School auditorium, there will be a meeting
with all of the updated information and specific
details regarding the construction of setting
peoples homes up to public water. Goodhue
stressed the importance of the residents of
Litchfield who are going to get connected to
public water going to this meeting.
Following the meeting, Pennichuck employees
will be on hand with service agreements that need
to be signed. If a person can absolutely not attend
the meeting, a service agreement will be mailed
to the house to be signed and mailed back as soon
as possible.

Jacqueline Louise (Malhoit) Yarmo

Jacqueline Louise
(Malhoit) Yarmo, 90, of
Hudson, died peacefully
in her home on Oct. 16,
2016, surrounded by her
family. She was born
in Nashua on Aug. 13,
1926, and was the loving
wife of the late John
Stanley Yarmo.
Jackie was a lifelong
resident of Hudson and was a 1944 graduate of
Nashua High School. As a teenager, she worked
as a waitress at the Rosebud restaurant and later
was employed at Nashua Corporation, also
known as the Card Shop. Under the tutelage
of her sister-in-law, Stacia Fontaine, Jackie went
on to become a skilled seamstress specializing in
home decor. She had her own custom drapery
and slipcover business for over 20 years before
expanding into interior design and owning a
Decorating Den business. After retiring from
decorating, Jackie enjoyed working at the City of
Nashua Fire Department for many years.
Jackie was a sports enthusiast and played in
a womens basketball league in the late 1940s
and early 1950s. She took great pride in her
home and enjoyed attending her sons sporting
events and her daughters dance recitals. She
and her husband John enjoyed hosting parties for
their friends and taking square dancing lessons.
Later in life, Jackie travelled and enjoyed outings
with the local senior groups. She loved going
to the Nashua YMCA to stay fit and cherished

her friendship with the Y Girls. She also

loved playing cards and talking walks with her
neighbors, whose friendships were of the most
dear to hear in the last decade of her life.
Jackie was passionate about serving others and
was a dedicated volunteer at the Nashua Soup
Kitchen for over 20 years. She also enjoyed her
work volunteering at the Southern NH Medical
Center and their 55-Plus Program. She could
always be found helping those less fortunate
throughout her life.
Jackie was a doting grandmother to 12 beautiful
grandchildren that she adored, as well as 11
great-grandchildren. She is also survived by her
son Paul and his wife Debra Yarmo of Hudson,
son Robert Yarmo and his wife Mary Sanford of
Pelham, son John Yarmo and his wife Barbara
Michaud of Candia; and daughter, Jacqueline
Yarmo and her husband Charlie Gray of Verona,
N.J. She was also well-loved and a favorite aunt
of many nieces and nephews.
Visiting hours will be held on Sunday, Oct.
23, from 12 to 2:30 p.m., followed by a Service
of Remembrance from 2:30 to 3 p.m., at the
Dumont-Sullivan Funeral Home, 50 Ferry St., in
Hudson.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations in
Jackies name may be made to the Nashua Soup
Kitchen and Shelter, PO Box 3116, Nashua, NH
03061-3116 or online at www.NSKS.org.

Though her time among us was agonizingly
brief, Amberlee brought more joy and fulfillment
to our family than can ever be adequately
described in words. She possessed a unique and
remarkable soul, and to know her granted her
loved ones an opportunity to experience the most
genuine goodness that life has to offer. Amberlees
passion for performance mirrored her zeal for life.
Whether she was performing on stage or playing
the piano, Amberlee spent much of her life putting
beauty into the universe - beauty that has touched
so many, and beauty which will remain with so
many for so long.
In her relationship with her loving and
committed boyfriend Pedro, Amberlee exemplified

Manor, 78, passed away
on Oct. 12, 2016, at

Lead Slips Away from Broncos

on Offside Penalty
by Len Lathrop
Hard play kept Alvirne
football in the lead most
of the game, but Bishop
Guertin moved to 6-1 at
Stellos Stadium on Friday,
Oct. 14.
The Broncos had two
long drives, which were
capped off with Mason
Miller crossing the goal
line. Milller had just
over 100 yards on 27
touches of the ball. The
Cardinals did no step into
the lead until BGs Sam
Ratt pounded it across the
line with less than two
minutes on the
clock, ultimately
taking the win 23
to 16.

The Bedford High School Bulldogs were in
Hudson on Monday, Oct. 17, where the Broncos
took the contest in three sets.
Alvirne Stats: Amanda Wetmore - three aces, 13
kills and five blocks; Liz DeRosa - nine kills and
seven digs; and Morgan Smith - 19 assists.
The final game of the season is against HollisBrookline on Oct. 21. The Broncos should be
leaving Hudson with a 14-3 record. Hollis
Brookline could be at 14-3 or 13-4 based on their
Wednesday night contest with Bedford.
The Hollis-Brookline game should be a great
showdown of two of the top teams in the division.

Cougars Garner Big Win on Road

Alissa leaves the court with her arms full of flowers.

was honored with a gift from her teammates and a rose
from each of the JV players.

Last week was to be a playoff testing week for the Lady Cougars.
One week they had 10-3 Mascenic and then another 10-3 squad on
Saturday in Litchfield in Farmington High School. Three sets to one
set seemed to be how the ball bounced for the Cougars, as that was
how the opponents fell last week.
There is one more regular season contest on the 19th, as the
diggers and killers will be on the bus to Manchester to volley against
4-8 Trinity High School.
In NHIAA Division 3, 14 teams make the playoffs. As we go to

press the Cougars are positioned at number 8, which most likely

will mean a first-round game on the road. However, with a game
for every team this week, a move to the seventh seed could find
the team at home on the 27th. Until the last game is played it is
all speculation, but the first game is the 27th and Campbell will be
playing.
The sets on Wednesday versus Mascenic on the 12th were 1025, 25-17, 25-20, 25-14; Coach Walker called this a big road win
against a tough opponent in his game report. Player stats, Gabi

The Hudson-Litchfield Bears 9U football team breezed through their last two
games of the regular season, winning 32-0 over the Blue Storm and 41-0 over
Laconia to wrap up their second straight perfect regular season at 8-0.
On Oct. 9, the Bears traveled to Concord to take on the Blue Storm on a rainy
cold day. The game was never in doubt as Camren Flash Dillon sprinted past
defenders for three TDs, and Mikey McGowan got his first career TD. Charlie
Chaz Crawford added a defensive score just before halftime with a scoop of a
fumble in the backfield and a quick sprint to the endzone.
On Oct. 16, the team made the long trip to Laconia for a final pre-playoff tuneup. It was a day to celebrate the first career TDs for Brady Nickerson, Concrete
Scott Hershberger, Jason Clement and Andrew Dice Deely. Sean Crusher
Cryan and Julian Juju Goode also added TDs, the latter on a kickoff return to
open the second half. Ryan Rhyno Rocheleau added a safety in the first half to
cap off the scoring.
Head Coach Keith Deely, who recently had a giant replica of a pu-pu platter
erected in his honor at SoHo restaurant in Hudson, said The victory against
Laconia was another great team effort. From start to finish we had contributions
from many different players. What was most fulfilling was that we had
touchdowns from six different players. This kind of team performance is what has
us really excited going into the playoffs. To go 8-0 in the regular season is very
special but now we have to stay focused and prepare hard for the playoffs, and I
look forward to seeing what this team can accomplish.
The perfect regular season has earned the team the number-1 seed in the state
playoffs, a first-round bye, and an automatic berth in the state semi-finals this
Sunday.

submitted by Bob Gannon, Campbell Boys Soccer

On Saturday, Oct. 15, the Campbell Cougar boys
soccer team played Bishop Brady at St. Anselm College
for the Brady Senior Night. After a very physical and
emotional game, Campbell fell short 3-2, when the
Cougar defense inadvertently deflected the ball into their
own net midway through the second half. Campbell
played a solid game, controlling most of the action in the
second half. Scoring for Campbell were Keegan Smith
and Zach Kirby.

Ben Cote heads the ball towards the net just

missing slightly over the bar.
Check out this team support! Students go all out
to make sure their Cougars feel the love.
The day before the Campbell boys defeated the
Timberwolves of Prospect Mountain at home, 4 to 1.
Freshman Joaquin Heller had scored his first varsity goal,
while Keegan Smith, Justin Furlong and David Latcha
each had a goal. Chad Martel, Keegan Smith and David
Latch had the assists. Keeper Matt Gagne had two saves

on three shots, with Prospects only goal coming off a

defensive miscue with just under three minutes to play.
Campbell had 17 shots on goal, with midfielders Jake
Scafidi, Chad Martel, Ben LaBatt, and Eli Smith playing
really well, controlling the center of field.
Campbell finishes the regular season on Friday, Oct. 21
at home against Somersworth for their senior game. The
Cougars currently sit in the seventh seed as they head
into the last week.

their record by defeating 10-4 Winnacunnet

The Alvirne squad celebrated Senior Night

With high school football the goals can be measured
in many ways, but if youre a New Hampshire school,
regardless of school size, you want to be playing on
Nov. 19 at UNH. The top two teams in each of the
three divisions will be there. And there is chance that
with their win on Saturday under the lights that the
Cougars will be.
Saturdays game saw Campbell putting the Hill
Toppers of Somersworth back on their bus with a 2814 loss. Prior to the game, sideline coaches spoke of
the Toppers having two bigs in the middle of the line
and one receiver who could catch most everything.
The records of both squads were equal and a win by
either would bring the Nov. 5 first playoff game on
their schedule.
Campbell was rested coming off the Division 3 bye
week, took the kick off to the 50-yard line and then
moved down field but turned the ball over on the 22.
When Somersworth fumbled, the Cougars had the ball
again and the training wheels came off. The Cougars
were ready to go as running back Ryan Yanusezewski
went for 167 yards and a score. In the fourth quarter,
Nick Boucher came alive to score both on offense and
defense.
While the win under the lights was spectacular
for the Cougars, the Homecoming Weekend offered
the senior football players and their families a venue
to be honored before the game. Seniors saluted

Readers must be getting tired of the mention of how time

somehow seems to stand still as youre rounding a magic
corner somewhere on Charles Bancroft Highway. Well,
this week that magic was the homecoming bonfire after the
big football game at Campbell High School. Something
that you cannot find in the big town next door (Hudson).
Thank you, Mrs. York, for the pictures. Maybe heading
home ASAP was what the mind needed; after all it was
Saturday night. Go Cougars!
