    It Was a Spectacular Day for a Celebration with

    submitted by the Offi ce of Congresswoman Annie KusterOn May 6, the U.S. House of Representatives unanimously passed H.R.

    3329, a bill Congresswoman Annie Kuster (NH-02) helped introduce to increase access to capital for New Hampshire small businesses and individuals.

    As a member of the U.S. House Small Business Committee, supporting New Hampshire small businesses and helping them access the capital they need to grow is one of Kusters top priorities. Kuster reached across the aisle to work with her Republican colleague, Congressman Blaine Luetkemeyer (MO-03) to help introduce H.R. 3329 late last year. This bipartisan bill would make it easier for smaller community banks that did not cause the 2008 fi nancial crisis to raise capital, making more money available for loans to New Hampshire small businesses and consumers.

    Ive traveled from one end of New Hampshire to another to hear from small business owners about how the federal government can better support their job creation efforts. Over and over again, New Hampshire entrepreneurs have told me that limited access to capital is one of their greatest obstacles to success, said Congresswoman Annie Kuster. I was proud to reach across the aisle to work with my Republican colleague from Missouri to help free up more resources for our countrys small businesses, and I applaud my colleagues in the House for passing this legislation.

    In addition to facilitating small business growth, this bipartisan bill will also provide relief for hardworking New Hampshire families who turn to community banks for help buying a home or making other important purchases.

    Lady Cougars Soundly Defeat Bishop Brady, 9-1

    by Phillip NicholsThe Cougars, expected to do well this season, are not disappointing their fans. With just

    one loss coming into the game against the Bishop Brady Giants, the Lady Cougars continue to display their desire to be exceptional by scoring nine runs and giving up just one in their victory over the Lady Giants on Cinco de Mayo (May 5).

    When you have great pitching, as demonstrated by sophomore, Olivia Martinage, who pitched a complete game (striking out 15 and allowing only two hits), solid defense, and tack on some great offense it is hard to lose.

    Offensively, Emily Paquin (senior) led the way. She had three hits and one RBI, while her teammates, Brittany McNulla (senior) and Emma Kuczkowski (junior) each added a pair of RBIs for the Cougars. Meaghan Coughlin (junior) and Carrie Fernandez (junior) each had one.

    Second-year coach, Joe Raycraft said prior to the beginning of the season that, We need to continue to work hard each day and stay focused on our goals.

    With a total team effort like this, do not be surprised to see the Campbell Cougars successfully win their second Division III title under Coach Raycraft.

    Campbell Cougars Control Bishop Brady Giants in Baseball

    by Phillip NicholsCampbell High School Baseball team finds itself

    second in Division III competition following its superior performance against Bishop Brady on May 5. Defeating Bishop Brady 12-2 in a mercy-rule shortened five inning game.

    Pitcher Tyler Butler held the Giants to just six hits and two runs during the game, while almost the entire pride of Cougars provided offense. Christian Bourgea went 3-for-3 with three RBIs and while scoring two runs scored himself. Bob Baril smashed one deep for his fourth homer of the year, a three-run shot.

    Also contributing on offense was Connor Sahlin, who went two for two and scored two runs; and Austin Baker, who was two for three at the plate. At his at bats, Baker drove in one run and scored a run himself.

    Campbells feat was so over powering that the mercy rule was invoked, ending the game after just five innings.

    Over the past six games, the Cougars have averaged eight runs per game while holding their opponents to an average of three runs per game.

    While there are still a lot of games left to play, look for the Cougars to be in the hunt.

    submitted by the American Heart AssociationRemember disco? The American Heart Association and

    Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield in New Hampshire are pumping new life into the 70s disco classic to help save lives with Hands-Only CPR.

    The American Heart Association campaign uses the Bee Gees hit Stayin Alive to teach lifesaving Hands-Only CPR (no breaths, just chest compressions). The song has more than 100 beats per minute, the near-perfect rate at which you should push on the chest during CPR. Thanks to a grant from Anthems corporate foundation, the American Heart Associations nationwide Hands-Only CPR awareness campaign and tour is coming to the Granite State May 20-23, with free educational programs planned for Portsmouth, Manchester, Nashua, and Concord.

    Nearly 400,000 Americans suffer out-of-hospital cardiac arrest every year, and almost 90 percent of them die because they dont receive immediate CPR from someone on the scene. When begun immediately, CPR can double or triple a persons chance of survival.

    People feel more confident performing Hands-Only CPR and are more likely to remember the correct rhythm when trained to the beat of Stayin Alive, said Amy Dumont, MSN, RN, CCRN, vice president of Patient Care Services at Frisbie Memorial Hospital and board chair of the New Hampshire Chapter of the American Heart Association. Not only is it a fun, catchy and memorable

    way to remember what to do, but it works peoples lives have been saved because of it.

    The American Heart Associations nationwide tour, which features a state-of-the-art mobile CPR training unit, has helped train more than 10,000 people across the United States over the past three years.

    The program scheduled for Nashua will be held Thursday, May 22, at Rivier University, 420 South Main St., from 11 a.m.3:30 p.m.

    Each site will host several free training sessions for the public. Each session lasts about 30 minutes and includes a free take home training kit. Walk-ins are welcome, but to guarantee a slot, pre-registration is strongly recommended. Please visit www.heart.org/newhampshire to register.

    Anthems mission is to enhance and support the health and well-being of individuals and families, so a program like this is a natural fit for us, said Lisa M. Guertin, president, Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield in New Hampshire. We are very excited to bring this innovative program to our state. Far too many people die unnecessarily each year from sudden cardiac arrest, and we are committed to helping improve this public health crisis.

    To learn more about the Hands-Only CPR campaign and tour in New Hampshire, visit www.heart.org/newhampshire.

    head, a clean kennel or better yet, a walk in the sunshine.Animal Rescue Network of New England, Inc is

    currently recruiting volunteers for any aspect of rescue; happy walking feet (mornings and/or evenings) to exercise the dogs, hands on at the shelter and at our monthly Pet Adoption Days or off site from home.

    Hudson~Litchfield Hudson~Litchfield Hudson~Litchfield SportsSportsSportsAlvirne Gets Dramatic Walk-off Win over BG

    Kaycee Carbone belts a bases-clearing triple in the Broncos win over the Panthers.

    by Marc AyotteWere a young team with only three returning starters, indicated

    Sara Brisk, the third-year AHS girls softball coach. We started off slow, observed Brisk with respect to the Lady Broncos 2-4 start to the season, adding, but its important where we go from here. And where they have gone as a result of their last two games is into the top 10 in the Division I standings. After impressive and scintillating, back-to-back wins over Nashua South and Bishop Guertin, respectively, the maroon and gold has gained momentum, improving to 4-4 on the season.

    On May 5, Brisks Broncos began a three-game home stand with a 14-2 pummeling of the Panthers. Nashua South entered the contest winless on the season, and it wasnt long after they got off the team bus that they realized things werent going to change. The Lady Broncos welcomed their opponents with a devastating seven-run fi rst inning, highlighted by a three-run triple off the bat of Sara Siteman.

    South put up a pair of runs in the top of the third, but Alvirnes

    Kaycee Carbone would thwart that feeble comeback bid with a bases-clearing triple of her own in the home half. The Broncos would go on to score four more in the fi fth for the mercy-shortened win. Nicole Teague received the start in the circle and went the full fi ve, allowing two runs (both unearned) on three hits while striking out eight.

    On the following day, Alvirne hosted the green and gold from the other side of the river and in astounding fashion, and despite an error-fest in the fi eld defensively, overcame an 11-run defi cit to come back and stun the Cardinals with an exhilarating 12-11 win. Teague, who was near untouchable in the circle the day before, was victimized by Bronco fi elding miscues as only one of the seven runs she allowed was earned. Kellie Kennedy relieved Teague in the third, and while picking up the win, she was met with a similar fate as three of the four runs she would surrender in the top of the fourth were also unearned. And heading into the home half of the fourth inning the Broncos found themselves on the disconcerting side of an in-progress, 11-0 whitewashing.

    But that would all begin to change when Alvirne plated their fi rst runs of the game compliments of Evelyn Susko, who went yard with two runners on base, cutting the Bronco defi cit to a mere nine. After a scoreless fi fth, Alvirne chopped the Cardinal lead to just three with fi ve runs in the sixth; highlighted by a three-run triple from Teague. With Kennedy shutting down the BG offense again in the seventh, the Broncos came to the plate for their last at bat.

    A pair of walks to Danelle Hagen and Teague sandwiched a Carbone single; loading the bases with Broncos. Trailing 11-8 and down to their last out, Siteman delivered with a clutch two-run double to pull AHS within a run. With Teague and Siteman now in scoring position, Susko came up huge again with a walk-off, two-RBI single, culminating the potentially season-defi ning comeback.

    The Bronco bats were led by Susko, who ended the day going 2-for-4 with fi ve RBIs and a run scored. Siteman (3-4, 2 runs, three RBIs, 2B), Teague (1-3, three runs, three RBIs, 3B) and Carbone (2-5, two runs, RBI) also played key roles in the marque win over the now 6-2 Cardinals.

    Local Basketball Players Win AAU State Titlesubmitted by Frank Girginis

    This past weekend marked a great accomplishment for a few local high school basketball players and coaches. Amanda Wetmore (Alvirne High School) and coaches Frank Girginis, Scott Purcell, and Sandi Purcell from Hudson as well as Hannah Fabiano (Campbell High School) and Meg Donovan (Bishop Guertin High School) won the ninth grade NH State AAU Championship.

    Coached by Girginis and Purcell the ninth grade New England Flames swept away the competition during the weekend tournament at Sportzone in Derry. In pool play the Flames beat Gilford AAU as well as the Mass Frenzy which earned the girls the number 1 seed in pool play. Facing the Frenzy for the second time in the semi-fi nals was a tough task, but the girls rose to the occasion winning their semi-fi nal game 54-42.

    In the fi nals the girls faced a tough NH Elite team which has players from the seacoast schools such as Winnacunnet, Portsmouth, and Exeter. The game started off close but the Flames led by a game-high ten points each from Fabiano and Donovan was too much for the Elite to handle, and the girls went on to win the NH State AAU championship 63-31.

    As a coach I could not be more proud of all the girls, they worked so hard for what they earned. I know they will enjoy it and take

    away some great memories.Members of the ninth grade state championship team are:

    Hannah Fabiano (Litchfi eld), Meg Donovan (Litchfi eld), Amanda Wetmore (Hudson), Meg Morelli, Erieann Kolden), Molly Dee, Bri Nordengren, Amanda DAmico, Abby Field and coaches Frank Girginis (Hudson), Scott Purcell (Hudson), and Sandi Purcell (Hudson).

    Broncos Clip Cardinals in Boys Tennisby Marc Ayotte

    The Alvirne Boys Tennis team pulled to within one win of .500 on Monday, May 5 with a 5-4 win over visiting Bishop Guertin. The Broncos and Cardinals split the six singles matches and headed into the doubles contests all squared at three wins apiece. Needing two wins in the doubles component of the match scoring, Alvirne did just that; taking two of the three matches for the slim win.

    In singles action, number 1 seed Matt OBrien defeated Guertins top seed Brian Xiao by an 8-4 score. The Broncos also received strong play from number 5-seeded Sam Bonney-Liles (8-3 over John Krapian) as well as from Henry Williams who won his number 6 seed match over Peter Scannell, 8 games to four.

    In the decisive doubles matches, the number 1 tandem of OBrien and Raul Stedile brought the Broncos one step closer to winning the team match when they defeated the best BG had to offer, handling Xiao/Rishi Yemme by a comfortable 8-4 score. Playing as the number 3-seeded couples, Andrew

    Wetmore and Brett Richardson combined for an 8-3 win over Kyle Charbonneau/John Krapian to secure the team win.

    In other singles matches, number 2-seeded Raul Stedile dropped an 8-3 decision to Jason Lutcza, number 3-seeded Jared Whalen lost 8-2 to Ryan Montbleau, and Colin Calnan was defeated 8-3 by Rishi Yemme in their 4th seed match. In a tough loss in doubles action, Whalen/Bonney-Liles lost an 8-6 tie-breaker to Lutcza/Montbleau. With the team win, Alvirne improved to 3-4 on the season.

    submitted by Eric LaFlecheSeventeen-year-old racer Derek Griffith is

    looking to make some waves this weekend as he attempts his first ever Pro All-Star Series Super Late Model event at the Saturday, May 10, PASS 150 from Star Speedway in Epping.

    The Hudson native recently tested at the fast quarter mile and brought along a familiar face to the racetrack as his spotter for the test session. We were very fortunate to be able to talk long time star veteran Bobby Cabral to spot for us, while I tried to learn the track, explained Derek. Bobby has a ton of laps here and knows which groove works the best. I think we easily picked up three-tenths with just Louies [Crew Chief Louie Mechalides] and Bobbys advice.

    The Griffith racing team brought their new Lefthander Super Late Model and their current SLM that they compete on the Granite State Pro Stock Series with to the test session. Derek talked about how each car reacted and what they will ultimately do as the Saturday, May 10 race approaches. We thought we would break-in the new SLM in our test session and were running in the high 13s with the car and then we unloaded the GSPSS car, which has a 2-barrel carburetor on it, instead of the 4-barrel that the new SLM has, Derek explained. I tell you what, we pulled low 13s right off the trailer with the

    older car. I think we know which one well take.The No. 12 LCM Racing/Tyngsboro Motors

    Toyota Camry can be seen in action on May 10 at Star Speedway for the PASS 150 as he attempts his first ever Pro All-Star Series event.

    We are excited to take this next step in our racing progression and to go up against the best from the PASS North Series, I mean to race against Benjamin, Doiron, D.J. Shaw, Cassius Clark, Ben Rowe and some of the invaders to the series like Helliwell, Jr. and Polewarczyk, Jr. is an incredible opportunity for us. I think we can grab a top-10 but I am hoping for a top-5, or a podium finish would be even better.

    If you cannot make the event in person, there will be updates on Dereks Twitter @DerekGriffith12. You can follow Derek this year at his website, www.DerekGriffith.com. Derek Griffiths Social Media: Facebook - www.facebook.com/derekgriffith18 - Twitter - www.twitter.com/DerekGriffith12.
