Fire Prevention Week in Litchfield Makes Safety Fun for the Whole Family

have kicked over a lantern in the barn starting the fire.
Litchfields events started off with the annual fire truck parade,
which winds through the streets of Litchfield with fire apparatus from
across the area. This years event was attended by firefighters from
Belleville and Saddle Brook, N.J., and a New York City firefighter
stationed in Harlem. The trio on its annual trip to New Hampshire
was invited to ride along on one of the antique fire apparatus
participating in the parade.
The three firefighters said its great coming to the state as whatever

Litchfield firefighters spread the message about fire safety to the
towns residents as Fire Prevention Week was observed. In the
United States, the first presidential proclamation of Fire Prevention
Week was made in 1925 by President Calvin Coolidge. Fire

the hospitality is second to none. As each came from a very urban
area, they very much enjoyed riding in the parade, particularly the
reception they received from the townspeople along the parade
route. There was a lot of discussion among the visiting firefighters
and local firefighters comparing the differences between the very
urban and very rural firefighting areas.
On Saturday, more than 500 residents made their way to Litchfield
Fire Station for the annual open house. The event had something for
everyone in the family. The kids got to spray fire hoses, extinguish
fires, watch a demonstration on how fire will spread through a
building, and the big hit of the day was, of course, a ride in a fire
truck including lights and siren.
Several attending the event donned fire gear, and, using the Jaws
of Life, had the opportunity to cut up a vehicle. Parents could obtain

plans for the proposed new fire station.
A band was on hand for entertainment. Meanwhile, the hot dog
and cotton candy stands satisfied anyones need for treats.
Litchfield Fire Department has held this event annually since the
1970s to provide those they serve with the needed information on
fire safety and to demonstrate their commitment, dedication and
service.

When Telemarketers Call, Hang Up
I recently got a telephone call from a research firm conducting a poll. I
wanted to participate, but I thought better of it.
What about night shift workers trying to sleep in the daytime? What
about a father in the middle of bathing a baby, who snatches the dripping
kid and rushes to the telephone because it might be a job offer? What about
the patient who is told to get some sleep, but to leave the ringer on in case
the test results mean going into the hospital? These folks dont need to be
disturbed.
Of course, the caller cannot know about these issues before dialing; just

The next step is to go to the Nashua Board of Aldermen for

Of course the big question is why is the Fox mentioning a

Economic development seminars talk about the person asking

In Litchfield there is a private workforce house project under

So if we need workers on all levels of our economy wont a

NH Congressional Senator Hassan to FCC: Triangle Credit Union

Delegation Calls for Abandon Efforts to Lower Protecting Member Identity for
Peace of Mind
Improved Facilities High-Speed Internet courtesy of Triangle Credit Union

for Women Standards

Veterans at VAMC
On Oct. 5, the New Hampshire Congressional
Delegation requested that the U.S. Department of Veterans
Affairs improve facilities for women veterans who receive
care at the Manchester VA Medical Center. The current
womens facility was damaged during a catastrophic flood
in July, and the delegation is urging Acting Director Alfred
Montoya to use the rebuilding period as an opportunity
to ensure women veterans, some of whom are survivors
of military sexual trauma, are able to receive care in an
appropriate setting.
We write to you today to reiterate our concerns about
the quality of care provided to women veterans that use
the Manchester VAMC, wrote the members. While we
appreciate the work currently underway to repair the sixth
floor Womens Health Clinic, we remain concerned that
the facilities are inadequately designed in the long term to
accommodate women who often are survivors of military
sexual trauma and other mental health disorders. We
share with you the common goal of ensuring quality and
accessible health care for all New Hampshire veterans.
Improving the Womens Health Clinic is an important step
toward this goal.
The letter, signed by Congresswoman Annie Kuster
(N.H.-02), a member of the House Committee on Veterans
Affairs, U.S. Senators Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.) and
Maggie Hassan (D-N.H.), and Congresswoman Carol
Shea-Porter (N.H.-01) specifically calls for the Manchester
VAMC to provide a separate entrance for women veterans
at the center, to relocate the Womens Health Clinic to the
first floor or a separate building, and to improve medical
spaces provided for
women at the Manchester
VAMC.

how you handle time pressure and what types of
questions you find most challenging can help you
determine which test is a better fit. Register for our
free practice tests at the Rodgers Memorial Library.

The Friends of the Library of Hudson and the NH
Humanities Council are sponsoring a presentation
by Stephen Collins, an actor who brings to life the
iconic American poet, Walt Whitman. Collins
portrays Whitman on the evening of his 70th
birthday. The audience is a visitor to his room
as he prepares for his birthday celebration. He
reminisces and questions his success as a man
and a poet. We trace back along with him the
experiences that led to the creation of Leaves of
Grass, his lifetime work, and the occurrence of the
Civil War, when he nursed wounded soldiers in
hospitals. Stephen Collins has performed the Walt
Whitman character in venues around New England
for over a decade to rave reviews. He will leave
you with a greater insight not just into the great
man or the great poet, but with an appreciation of
Walt Whitman as an eternally free spirit. See him
at 2 p.m. at the Rodgers Memorial Library.

One person was flown to a Boston hospital after a three-vehicle
rear-ender crash on Central Street and Park Avenue.
Hudson Police Sergeant McElhinney said on Oct. 10, at
approximately 3:30 p.m., the Hudson Police and Hudson Fire
Departments responded accident. Through the initial police
investigation, it was determined a 2002 Ford Ranger, operated by
Joseph Albina, 22, of Milford, was traveling east on Central Street
approaching stopped traffic at the intersection. Albina became
distracted and failed to yield to stopped traffic, after which he
struck the rear of a 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse, operated by Pamela
Denny 74, of Hampstead. Dennys vehicle was pushed forward
into another vehicle, a 2010 Honda CRV operated by Claire
Dumon of Hudson.
Hudson firefighters evaluated Denny and determined she had
received potentially serious injuries during the crash and was
flown by helicopter to Massachusetts General Hospital.
Dumon received minor injuries and was transported by the
Hudson Fire Department to Southern New Hampshire Medical
Center for treatment. All vehicles sustained heavy damage.
As a result of the seriousness of the accident, the Hudson Crash
Investigation Team was activated to investigate the scene; the
investigation is ongoing.
Albina was cited for Negligent Driving; drugs or alcohol do not
appear to be a factor.
All of Hudson on-duty crews operated at the scene and
an engine company from Nashua was called to provide fire
protection at the Wall Street helicopter landing site.

Its Time: Signs Your Heating System Needs a Tune-up

(BPT) - Temperatures are falling, pumpkin spice everything has
reappeared and stores have already put out holiday displays - all
signs that winter is either on the way, or already here, depending on
according to ENERGYSTAR.gov. Proper maintenance can help en-
sure your system works as efficiently and cost-effectively as possible
throughout the winter. Failing to care for your heating system now
could leave you without heat or with hefty emergency repair bills if
the system breaks down during very cold weather.
A tune-up is an inexpensive way to ensure heating equipment is
operating properly, and provides peace of mind that no potentially
harmful blockage exists in a flue or exhaust vent. While its best to
service a heating system before the cold weather arrives, its also
never too late to perform routine maintenance.
According to the home repair experts at HomeServe USA, a typi-
cal professional heating system tune-up will include:
* Inspect safety features and controls
* Check thermostats (including adjustment if needed)
* Inspect burners (with adjustments if necessary)
* Check and clean the pilot light
* Check and clean any gauges
* Flush low-water cutoff
* Inspect filters, belts, oil motors, pumps and condensate line (if
applicable)
* Check the flue pipe and chimney draft
* Inspect and clean the blower assembly
A thorough tune-up before the heating season starts can help
reduce the risk of a problem in the dead of winter, but you should
still be aware of your systems performance. Symptoms that may
warrant having a professional check the system include:
* The system takes a long time to warm the house after the
ing vents.
* The system cycles constantly.
* The burner flame is yellow or flickering. The flame should be
blue in natural gas furnaces; a yellow flame means the unit is not
burning efficiently and may even be producing harmful carbon
monoxide.
* You notice your heating bills have increased more than you
would reasonably expect given the temperature outside.
* You experience excessive moisture building up on windows,
walls and other cold surfaces.
* You find visual evidence, such as streaks of soot around the
furnace, rusting on flue pipes or pipe connections or the vent pipe
visible from outside the home, or water leaking from the base of the
chimney, vent or flue pipe.
If you act quickly at the first sign of a problem, you may be able
to avoid a costly and potentially dangerous failure of your heating
system. For more information about why you should schedule a
tune-up, visit www.nationaltuneupday.com.
HomeServe offers home heating protection plans, including ones
that cover tune-ups. A 24-hour repair hotline ensures plan holders
can be connected with local, licensed and insured technicians 365
days a year. Visit www.HomeServeUSA.com to learn more.

Tips for Staining Wood

Staining wood can transform the look of everything from fencing
to decking. While wood can be beautiful in its natural state, staining
can protect the wood and complement landscaping and other home
design elements.
Staining can seem like a simple project, and that is often true.
However, certain woods, such as pine, cherry, maple, and birch,
can be difficult to stain. Boards with attractive grain patterns also
can absorb stain differently, resulting in blotching and uneven tone.
Before beginning a staining project, it is important for homeown-
ers to test the stain chosen on a sample piece of wood to see how
the color and absorption turn out. This gives homeowners the
chance to understand what theyre dealing with and time to make

Shaheen, Hassan Introduce Legislation that Would Ensure Transparency

and Accountability in DEA Quotas for Prescription Opioid Painkillers
For 2018, the DEA is proposing an annual quota equivalent to manufacturing 9.5 billion opioid painkiller pills

courtesy of the Office of
Senator Jeanne Shaheen
U.S. Senators Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) and
Maggie Hassan (D-NH) joined four of their
democratic colleagues o Sept. 28 to introduce
legislation to shed light on Drug Enforcement
Administration (DEA) quotas on OxyContin and
opioid pain medication, and the secretive process
by which the pharmaceutical companies gain
approval to produce the deadly opioid painkillers
that are taken in New Hampshire and across the
country.
The over-production and over-prescription
of painkillers has taken a devastating toll on our
communities, and fueled the worst public health
emergency in our states history, said Senator
Shaheen. The DEA has already taken positive
steps to reduce the amount of opioid painkillers
in the marketplace, and this legislation will
create greater transparency as we seek to reduce
the over-production and over-prescription of
opioid drugs. Oversight and accountability are
fundamental to this effort. This legislation will
provide the necessary information needed to help
in our fight to control and prevent abuse of these
potentially deadly drugs.
As the heroin, fentanyl, and opioid crisis
continues to ravage communities in New
Hampshire and across the country, we must do
more to address the overuse, misuse, and abuse of
prescription opioids that has played a major role
in fueling this epidemic, Senator Hassan said. I
applaud the Drug Enforcement Agency for taking
steps to lower opioid production quotas earlier
this year, but we must keep working together to
combat this crisis. I am proud to help introduce
the Opioid QuOTA Act, which will provide
much-needed information on these quotas and
the pharmaceutical companies that manufacture
prescription opioids, and I look forward to
working with members of both parties to advance
this important legislation.
For 2018, the DEA has proposed
manufacturing levels in the United States
that would be the equivalent of nine billion
10-milligram pills of OxyContin. Despite
this massive quantity of addictive opioid pain
medication that the DEA would approve for
production, there is little public information
about which individual companies are
manufacturing prescription opioid pills or how
many. Specifically, the Opioid Quota Openness,
Transparency, and Awareness Act requires the
U.S. Attorney General to make available through
DEAs website the quotas for an opioid painkiller
issued to a registered manufacturer, as well as that
manufacturers actual use of the quota. The bill
also makes available the applications submitted
to DEA by registered manufacturers requesting a
particular quantity of active ingredient, and year-
end reports on actual quota use, which DEA now
treats as confidential.
A copy of the Opioid QuOTA Act can be
found at https://www.markey.senate.gov/imo/
media/doc/QuOTA%20bill.pdf.

Shaheen Denounces Trump

Administrations Order to Curtail
Womens Access to Birth Control
courtesy of the Office of Senator Jeanne Shaheen
Senator Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) released the
following statement Oct. 6 in response to the
Trump administrations repeal of the birth control
mandate included in the Affordable Care Act
(ACA):
This administrations obsession with rolling
back womens reproductive rights and access
to care is dangerous and reflects a shallow
understanding of womens health, said Shaheen.
This order will undoubtedly increase unwanted
pregnancies and abortions, at a time when both
are at an all-time low. I will continue to fight
for womens access to coverage for preventative
services, including birth control, and will oppose
any effort that infringes on, or compromises,
their reproductive freedom. I urge the President
to consult health experts and reverse this ill-
considered policy shift, and work with Democrats
to improve access to healthcare, which includes
reproductive health services.
Senator Shaheen is a dedicated advocate for
womens reproductive rights. Senator Shaheen
has been fighting for years to increase coverage of
womens preventative care in the annual defense
authorization bill, and just last month, added an
amendment to an appropriations bill that would
boost funding for international family planning
and reproductive health programs, and repeal the
Global Gag Rule.

The Alvirne Boys Soccer team improved to
2-12 after defeating Spaulding on Tuesday by a
score of 3-1. The Broncos got off to a quick start
just one minute into the game when Jackson
Ramalhinho made a run behind the Red Raider
defense as Connor Lambert fed him a great
through ball. Ramalhinho chipped the ball over
the goalie and into the far corner of the goal for
a 1-0 lead. Fifteen minutes later, Ryan Ruigrok
made it a 2-0 score as he settled a corner kick by
Lambert and set himself up for a left-footed strike
from ten yards out. Ten minutes later, Lambert
set up another goal with a free
kick into the box. The Spaulding
defense was unable to clear the
ball before Cam Hilton found it and took a quick
flick over the goalie. Spaulding would make it 3-1
with a breakaway goal with just a few minutes left
in the first half.
The Broncos held on for the victory after a
sloppy, but scoreless, second half. Alvirne lost
control of the midfield for much of the second half
after Lambert dropped into a more defensive role
to help preserve the lead. Kyle Ping had another
stellar game on defense, while Jamie Bertrand
made several acrobatic saves to prevent Spaulding
from closing the gap.
Despite their record, the Alvirne boys have
become a team that no one wants to face. Last
week, the Broncos fell to both Pinkerton and
Salem, two teams near the top of the NHIAA
Division 1 standings, by identical 1-0 scores.
Alvirne gave both teams everything they had, with
some good scoring opportunities and control of
the ball for stretches of both games.
The Broncos have two games left in the season.
Next Tuesday, Oct. 17, is Senior Night at home
against Winnacunnet. The game is at 5:30 p.m.,
with the seniors being recognized at 5:00. The
Broncos final game is at first place Bedford next
Friday.
Alvirne Soccer lost a close one to Salem High
School on Thursday, Oct. 5. At the half, the
game was scoreless. It wasnt until the 47th
minute in the second half that Salem scored a
goal on a header off a cross at about the 6-yard
box. It was tough for the Broncos to come up
on the short end of the defensive battle, 1- 0. In
all, Alvirne goalkeeper Jamie Betrand, a junior,
made eight saves. Standouts for the Broncos on
defense were sweeper Ryan Ruigrok, a senior,
as well as sophomore Nate Day and senior
Kyle Ping at outside backs. Additionally, junior
Garrett Lambert and freshman Charlie Thomas

Bronco Football Continues to Fight

by Len Lathrop
While their season record includes only one win, the team continues
to fight. Fridays game against Nashua South saw the Broncos cross the
goal line twice.
Just before halftime, Tommy Callahan grabbed a pass from QB Kyle
Gora for 45 yards and a TD. Zach Reddig kicked the point after, making
it 32-7 at the half.
The second score in the fourth quarter came from a 42-yard run by
Tyler Mahaney. Reddig tacked on the PAT again.
The Broncos are on the road this Friday, the 13th, when they face the
Astros in Londonderry.

Hudson~LitchfieldSports 0, in both contests. The set scoring was 25-18,
27-25, 25-20. Leading the team Friday were
senior Cleo Schultz - 10 kills, one block, one
dig; senior captain Gabi Scott - 10 kills, six digs;
junior Meghan Gibbons - four aces, two kills, six
digs; junior captain Olivia Garand - one ace, 12
digs; and senior Mary Kuczkowski - one ace, one
block, 33 assists.
Coach Miner reported, This has been
the toughest match we have played since
Winnisquam. Going into this match I was
confident we were going to put our best foot
forward. My goal was to not let Epping take a
set; it was a little nerve racking in set two, but we
buckled down and played like the team we are.
In set three, we were behind by at least four points
throughout because of our mistakes. The girls
recognized this during a timeout, and, when they
went back out on that court, they went after them
to win the match.
Im very proud of their strength and
determination.
