Hooray for Mr. Durso Day!
by AJ DickinsonSince 2007, Litchfield residents have driven past the Mosnickas
house on Hillcrest Road around Halloween to enjoy the many hand-carved jack-o-lanterns on display in the front yard. Carving jack-o-lanterns were a hobby of Robin Mosnicka. Robin was an elementaryschool teacher, a loving mother, and had long reaching ties to thetown. Robin was an eighth generation resident of the town. Tragicallylast April Robin passed away. To honor her long-standing tradition ofcreating and displaying the hand-carved pumpkins, various membersof the community, friends, neighbors and Girl Scouts showed theirrespect by bringing their own jack-o-lanterns to add to the collection.
Amy Rossi, a Litchfield resident whose children often enjoyed theMosnickas Halloween themed house held a pumpkin carving eventthis past weekend to show her support for the family.
A grand total of 327 carved pumpkins now lay on the grounds infront of this familys beautiful home. This community, as well as thesurrounding communities of Salem and Pelham, has shown so muchsupport for this family that Mark Mosnicka found it hard to find thewords to describe his appreciation. I dont know the right words forit but its just the most amazing thing, he said, trying his best to holdback tears. Mark ended his interview by simply saying, She was anamazing woman who touched a lot of lives.
Although Robin Mosnicka is greatly missed, she will never beforgotten as her jack-o-lantern tradition lives on.
Late Litcheld Residents
HalloweenHobbyLives On
by Lynne OberU.S. Senator Kelly Ayotte met with New
Hampshire residents at Hudson MemorialSchool last week. When she arrived, she waswearing a Boston Red Sox hat, which she jokedshe had put on for the first game, which the Soxwon, and now Im not taking it off until the Soxwin the World Series.
There were nearly 100 residents gatheredto hear her speak and then participate in thequestion and answer period after her talk.Prior to the schedule beginning time for theTown Meeting, Ayotte posed for pictures withattendees.
When the program started, Ayotte pointedto one of the large screens at the front of theroom. That is my debt calculator, she said.The federal government spends $10 milliona day and has to borrow $2 million every day.You can watch the debt calculator and see ourcountrys debt go up and up .
Ayotte painted a bleak fiscal picture.Beginning with the current years budget, shesaid, This is one milestone we never wantedto meet, stating that in the current fiscal yearalone theres an anticipated budget deficit of$759 billion.
She wanted to help the audience understandthe magnitude of our countrys debt. The2013 deficit alone could pay all of the 2013salaries of every Major League Baseball playerfor the next 248 years, but that wasnt all, Itcould purchase the newest iPhone for half ofthe worlds population or buy a cup of DunkinDonuts coffee for every American every day forfour years.
Although the economy is recovering from a
recession, Ayotte pointed out the loss of jobs.Our labor force participation rate is at itslowest since 1978. We still have 21.5 millionAmericans that are either unemployed orunderemployed right now.
The future doesnt offer much hope accordingto Ayotte, If we stay on the path were headed,our debt will reach $25 trillion in the nextdecade. In Washington, weve done a very good
job at kicking the can down the road.According to Ayotte just over 60 percent of
government spending is on mandatory programssuch as Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid,which she characterized as promises that thegovernment was made and that we need tokeep.
The recent 16-day government shutdown costan estimated $2.2 billion, according to Ayotte,who said that every shutdown always cost morethan keeping government open and thats why
she worked to bring an end to the shutdown.At the end of her prepared remarks, she
opened the floor to questions. State SenatorSharon Carson, using cards filled out byaudience members, called people to speak.Questions revolved around a number of itemsfrom veteran support for those who have beenhurt during serving, to Bengazi and to concernabout the future of the country for the generationof American children growing up now.
In response, Ayotte provided thoughtfulanswers. She said that in the 1970s that 6percent of our countrys debt was owned byforeign countries, but in 2012, China alone held48 percent of our debt. This was a great concernto Ayotte, who commented that the federally

Local Resident Strongly Opposedto Circumferential Highway
In another recent Opinion Offering I began withexplaining that I never really set out to offend anyone, Ialways have it in mind to tr y to inform someone aboutsomething of importance; which is the purpose of thisOpinion Offering on this C ircumferential Highway.
I believe, and it is my opinion that other Hudsonitesmight share, that this Circumferential Highway idea isa combination of Special Interests and a very misguidedlocal political leadership. Te Special Interests haveno real regard for anything else but what they want tohave done and the misguided local political leadershipdances around with this kind of foolishness; whenthey should instead be addressing the far greater needsof the Hudson community. Another example ofSpecial Interests and misguided political leaders is thathundreds of millions of dollars wasted on wideningI-93, when in this contrived economic disaster;hundreds of people in our own area h ave lost jobsand homes. Tere are more people living in povertyor in shelters now than before and food pantries areconstantly searching for more sources of foods supports.
Its as if these Special Interests and misguided political
leaders read the newspaper with all of this miseryblacked-out so they dont read it and only look for newscoverage on their foolish endeavors of multi-millionsof dollars on highways that a rent needed; so they can
pump themselves up. It is irresponsible for any politicalleader or elected official or town employees to wastetime and resources on this decades old CircumferentialHighway. Its just like the wasteful and destructiveBroad Street Parkway across the river, where theSpecial Interests hammer away at it for decades untilthey manipulate things to go their way eventually andthats what its all about. I do not have any respectfor any Hudson Political Leader or town employeefor propping up and supporting this CircumferentialHighway foolishness but I would surely have respectfor them if they addressed the greater needs of theHudson Community instead; that they would not beable to grandstand about, but hopefully and quietly takemore pride in doing. Tere is a simple solution to thepassing-through traffic and th ats to strongly restrict thatpassing-through traffic with high cost fines, just like itsdone with restricting truck traffic through residentialareas. Force the passing-through traffic to go thoughHudson on highways that are built for that purpose.
Wake up folks to the manipulation thats going
on again and stand firm against this foolishness of aCircumferential Highway. And a final closing thought,that with every highway thats built, it costs more andmore to maintain it but look around at all of the area
highways and interstates; at the deplorable conditiontheyre always in with weeds and poorly maintainedroad surfaces. Stop this madness.

In My Opinion...
In My Opinion...In My Opinion... by Daniel M. DellingerLets Serve Veterans as Well as They Have Served Us
by Daniel M. DellingerDuring the recent government shutdown many numbers were
thrown around. But there is onenumber that stands out and it hasnothing to do with the debate over thefederal budget.
More than one a day. That is howmany members of our active-dutymilitary, National Guard and Reserveforces have committed suicide overthe last year. Simply put, we are losingmore service members by their ownhands than we are by the enemy inAfghanistan.
Only those who experienced firsthand the horrors of combatcan understand why most of these young men and women feelcompelled to take such drastic and permanent measures.
As Veterans Day ceremonies and parades occur throughout thecountry, it is important that we commit ourselves to do everythingpossible to prevent these needless and tragic deaths.
We are their friends, their family, their co-workers and theirneighbors. It is up to us to ensure that every veteran feels that his orher service to this country is appreciated by their fellow Americans.There are many tangible ways that we can acknowledge theirsacrifice, but the easiest is to simply say, Thank you for what youhave done for our country.
If he is showing signs of unhappiness or depression, encouragehim to seek help through the VA immediately. If she has haddifficulty obtaining the benefits that she is entitled to, let her knowthat The American Legion has thousands of trained service officers
nationwide that will help her navigate the bureaucracy free ofcharge.And if that veteran has made the Supreme Sacrifice, remember the
price that has been paid for our freedom and offer your support tothe loved ones left behind.
But Veterans Day is a time to honor not just those who have foughtfor us in battle, but in fact, all of the outstanding men and womenwho served in our nations Armed Forces since our founding morethan 237 years ago.
Not all veterans have seen war, but a common bond that theyshare is an oath in which they expressed their willingness to die
defending this nation.Perhaps most significant in preserving our way of life are the
battles that America does not have to fight because those who wishus harm slink away in fear of the Navy aircraft carrier, the CoastGuard cutter, the Air Force fighter squadron or the Army soldier onpatrol. Or they have heard the words that recently retired General
James Mattis shared with his Marines: Be polite. Be professional.But have a plan to kill everybody you meet.
While we should all be grateful for the remarkable advancementsmade in military medicine and prosthetics, the fighting spirit andinspirational stories of our veterans are not due to technology.
These traits come from the heart.And many of these veterans are women, such as Army Chief
Warrant Officer Lori Hill. While piloting her helicopter over Iraqin 2006, she maneuvered her chopper to draw enemy gunfire awayfrom another helicopter and provide suppressive fire for troops onthe ground. Despite flying a damaged aircraft and suffering injuries,she landed the helicopter safely, saving her crew. For her actions,she became the first woman to receive the Distinguished FlyingCross.
Women are major contributors to our military presence inAfghanistan and many have given their lives in the War on Terrorism.The American Legion recently issued a report calling upon VA toimprove its response to the unique needs of women veterans. TheVA and military health systems need to adequately treat breastand cervical cancer as well as trauma that resulted from domesticviolence, sexual harassment and assault. America is home to morethan 1.2 million women veterans and they deserve our support.
In the poem Tommy, the great writer Rudyard Kipling lamentedover the rude treatment a British soldier received at a pub. Writingin classical old English, Kipling compared the abuse with the morefavorable treatment that Tommy receives by the public during war.
For its Tommy this, an Tommy that, an Chuck him out, thebrute!
But its Savior of is country when the guns begin to shoot;An its Tommy this, an Tommy that, an anything you please;An Tommy aint a bloomin fool you bet that Tommy sees!Let us always treat our 23 million veterans as the saviors of our
country that they are. Even when the guns are no longer shooting.
Area Boy ScoutsGather Food
In southern New Hampshire, local food pantries feel the economicstrain as they receive more calls and visitors each month. The areaCub Scout Packs and Boy Scout Troops are helping again this year tomeet that need.
On Saturday, November 2, Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, Venture Scoutsand Explorers will hit the streets to deliver tens of thousands of doorhangers to residences across the Nashua area.
One week later, on Saturday, November 9, Scouts will retrieve thebags filled with non-perishable goods for distribution to local pantries.
This time of year, pantries often see their lowest food reserves,yet an increase in need, said Gaylord. One of many Scout serviceprojects, Scouting for Food brings youth an awareness of theircommunities needs, but also demonstrates the astounding supportour neighbors provide one another. Some pantries tell us this singlefood drive keeps their shelves stocked for over four months. To thinkthat one-third of the food helping local families comes through thehands of Scouts is a remarkable testament to Scoutings importance.The perfect bag
With so many varieties of canned foods in todays supermarkets,choosing what to donate can be a difficult decision.
Dieticians suggest the following items to be good contributions inthe perfect Scouting for Food bag: 2 cans hearty soup, stew or chili1 can fruit and 1 can 100% fruit juice 2 cans tuna, chicken or salmon1 can vegetables 1 can tomato or pasta sauce 1 canned meal 1 canbeans 1 box of pasta
The Scouts want to remind those donating to put their bags outFriday night, or before 8 a.m. on Saturday the 9th. The little CubScouts get really exci ted when they see a bag of food on the porch orfront steps of a house. If you can make sure the bags are out, well doour part to get them to those that need them.

Litcheld FireReminds You ...
submitted by Steve DubeEach year fire claims the lives of 3,400
Americans, injures 17,500, and causes billions ofdollars worth of damage. People living in ruralareas are more than twice as likely to die in a fire asthose living in mid-sized cities or suburban areas.The misuse of wood stoves, portable space heatersand kerosene heaters are especially common risks
in rural areas.All heating equipment needs space. Keepanything that can burn at least three feet away.Supervise children whenever a wood stove or spaceheater is being used. Have a three-foot kid-freezone around open fires and space heaters.Portable Heater Fire Safetyo Wood Stoves
Wood stoves cause over 4,000 residential firesevery year. Carefully follow the manufacturersinstallation and maintenance instructions. Look forsolid construction, such as plate steel or cast ironmetal. Check for cracks and inspect legs, hingesand door seals for smooth joints and seams. Useonly seasoned wood for fuel, not green wood,artificial logs, or trash. In pellet stoves, burn onlydry, seasoned wood pellets. Inspect and clean yourpipes and chimneys annually and check monthlyfor damage or obstructions.o Electric Space Heaters
Buy only heaters evaluated by a nationally
recognized laboratory, such as UnderwritersLaboratories (UL). Check to make sure it has athermostat control mechanism, and will switchoff automatically if the heater falls over. Heatersare not dryers or tables; dont dry clothes orstore objects on top of your heater. Plug spaceheaters directly into wall outlets and never into anextension cord or power strip. Always unplug yourelectric space heater when not in use.o Kerosene Heaters
Buy only heaters evaluated by a nationallyrecognized laboratory, such as UnderwritersLaboratories (UL), and check with your local firedepartment on the legality of kerosene heateruse in your community. Never fill your heaterwith gasoline or camp stove fuel; both flare-upeasily. Only use crystal clear K-1 kerosene. Whenrefueling, allow the appliance to cool first and thenrefuel outside. Never overfill any portable heater.Use the kerosene heater in a well ventilated room.o Fireplaces
Fireplaces regularly build up creosote in theirchimneys. They need to be cleaned out frequentlyand chimneys should be inspected for obstructionsand cracks to prevent deadly chimney and rooffires. Check to make sure the damper is openbefore starting any fire. Never burn trash, paperor green wood in your fireplace. These materialscause heavy creosote buildup and are difficult tocontrol. Use a screen heavy enough to stop rollinglogs and big enough to cover the entire openingof the fireplace to catch flying sparks. Dont wearloose-fitting clothes near any open flame. Makesure the fire is completely out before leaving thehouse or going to bed. Allow ashes to cool beforedisposing of them. Place ashes in a tightly coveredmetal container and keep the ash container at least10 feet away from your home and any other nearbybuildings. Never empty the ash directly into a trashcan. Douse and saturate the ashes with water.
Finally, having a working smoke alarmdramatically increases your chances of surviving a
fire. And remember to practice a home escape planfrequently with your family. For more informationplease contact part-time fire inspector Steve Dubeat sdube@litchfieldfd.com for more info.

Some UnexpectedOutcomes from The
Default Budgetby Kristen HoffmanHudson School district programs are feeling the pinch due topurchasing restrictions put in place by the Districts default budget.There has been a hold placed on new purchases for the duration ofthe budget cycle.
The affects are being felt district wide, and has imposed newrestrictions on instructors. Instructors now need to get permissionfrom either Superintendent Bryan Lane or Burnell prior to purchasingnew equipment. Its not to say that we cant buy new textbooks,Burnell said. But oversight needed to be added to the purchasingprocess to keep in line with the default budget.
There have been major over expenditures, BusinessAdministrator Karen Burnell said. Burnell said that as a result of theSchool District operating on a default budget, programs have beenaffected, and there hasnt been any leeway for recouping losseswithin other sectors of the district.
Currently, Special Education Program has a $384,000 default.This default is due to federal mandates, I.E.Ps and state mandatedstudent placements. Burnell said that under normal budget cycles,departments are able to pull from other areas in order to curb budgetdefaults, but this year that was not the case.
This year, the school districts budget was set at $47,231,604,down from the districts suggested budget of $48,026,049. Thiscaused the budget to be $794,445 less than anticipated, causingthe district to scramble to find ways to pay for mandates and newsupplies. The purchasing hold has been one way for the district tokeep a look out on rising costs, and found that it has helped.

Hudson Residents Small GestureMakes Many Grateful
submitted by Alexys GilcreastTwo years ago, I began collecting clothes
for a clothing giveaway. I didnt have a goalfor how much to collect or a solid plan o f how
to give it away, but I did know that I wantedto see the impact that the giveaway wouldmake first-hand. I never imagined that thecommunity would join and support me as theydid. It was truly amazing.
After gathering 45 boxes of clean clothes,organized by gender and size, distributingflyers in Spanish and English to the NashuaSoup Kitchen and other local non-profitagencies, working with Corpus Christi for useof their parking lot, and borrowing foldabletables from friends, the two day event began.With the help of a few volunteers, we weregiving away the clothes on Tuesday andThursday afternoons.
On Tuesday I brought a large bag of stuffedanimals, thinking that if some kids showed up,maybe they would like one. It was amazingto see the smiles on their faces. I told onelittle girl that the stuffed sea turtle she pickedcame all the way from the Bahamas and that
it probably tells great stories. She snatched itup and hugged it the entire way home, witha smile stretched ear to ear. One toddlerin particular stood out. He needed a littlecheering up and a stuffed monkey was just thetool for the job. His dad asked if we had size13 shoes, pointing at the sandals on his feetand saying, This is all I have. Heartbroken,we found someone to donate size 13 shoesdirectly to him. That family had just beenoffered a small apartment after renting a singlebedroom in an apartment with twelve otherpeople, but had nothing to put in the newplace. Thinking of all of the things we takefor granted, a mattress, dishes, silverware,microwave, and shoes, we told them we hadsome extra things. The next day, we broughtthem a full sized mattress, some dishes, acouch, and a table. After reaching out to a fewfriends, we furnished their entire apartment,except for a washing machine. Were stilllooking for a donated washing machine. Butnow they have silverware, a few decorationson the walls, a dresser to get their clothes outof trash bags, microwave, pots and cookingutensils, and all the other basics for anapartment. They were ecstatic. The mom said
This has been a great week. Kasper just gota job that starts tomorrow, we were offered anapartment, and now this. How little it tookfrom us to make a massive impact and helpget this family back on their feet. And to thinkthat if it wasnt for the stuffed monkey, we mayhave never known how much we could helpthem.
By the end of Tuesday, we gave away 35boxes of clothes, and I worried that we would
not have enough for Thursday. The hardestpart was the realizing that although the clotheswere great, people were in desperate needof warm blankets and jackets with the coldweather quickly approaching. We put theword out as fast as we could. Mr. Beals, myprincipal at Alvirne High School, emailedhis staff and told them what I was trying todo for the community. We put a messageon Facebook and Twitter looking for moredonations of specific needs. In a mere 48hours, the community donated heaping pilesof clothes, jackets, shoes, and blankets. Weentered the Thursday giveaway with moreboxes than what we started with on Tuesday.
On Thursday, one little boy was so excitedto pick out a shirt, that he never checked thesizes. He just picked up the top one andnever stopped smiling. We helped him get theright size and asked if he liked the Patriots. Ilove the Patriots! he said as we handed him
a Patriots blanket . He was so appreciative ofwhat we had given him that he ran to give myGrandmother a hug. It made me realize thatall of the hard work was well worth it.
A woman named Cathy saw the article inthe newspaper and had come to volunteer on
Tuesday. After seeing what the giveawaywas all about, she not only came back onThursday, but she dug deep herself, bringingbaskets of clothes and blankets to donate as
well.It is very important to me that
everyone who helped knows howthankful my family and I are.Thank you to all of the non-profits,Attitudes by Amanda, Mr. Bealsand the Alvirne community, aswell as all of my friends and familyfor their support. Also, I wouldlike to especially thank Cathy forher help and friendly smile, andCorpus Christi for hosting the
event.This event was a real eye opener
to me. There truly is nothing in thisworld that makes me happier thanseeing how grateful people are forwhat is such a small gesture to meand my family. Never underestimatewhat you, as one person, can do.Anyone can give back. There is
nothing better.
Alexys is a senior at Alvirne HighSchool

SudokuEvent Introduced Students to Interesting Careersby Marc Ayotte
As part of the Campbell HighSchool curriculum, students wereable to experience lectures andpresentations from approximately30 guest speakers; someinvolved in local businesses andranging from venture capitaliststo environmental scientists toregulatory affairs for medicaldevices. The three 30 minutesessions were conducted during
morning classes as students rotatedtheir way to designated classroomsfrom where the speakersconducted their presentation.
According to CampbellsDirector of Guidance, JodiCallinan, the event is part of acomprehensive guidance planthat addresses academics, careeropportunities as well as social/emotional issues. This helps fulfill the career piece of it, citedCallinan. Getting first dibs on sitting in on the lecturers of theirchoice were NH Scholar Students along with upperclassmen.
One of the featured speakers was Ryan Leach, who is groupsales and education coordinator for the Manchester Monarchsice hockey team. Leach addressed the students in the confines ofEnglish teacher Erin Longs classroom and discussed a wide range
of job related responsibilities. AManchester Central High Schooland UNH graduate, Leach spokeof his travels to Los Angeleswhere he was involved in severalsports marketing positions forboth collegiate and professionalorganizations.
The main theme conveyed byLeach to students that are interestedin pursuing a career in his aspectof the sports world is to be willing
to accept a job in any city andfor any team. He mentioned thewillingness to relocate away fromthe New England area is even moreimperative due to the success of theBoston based professional sportsteams; a simple lesson in supplyand demand. Jobs are availableif you are willing to go somewhereelse, noted Leach, adding that
you are sort of pigeon-holing yourself if you insist on workingfor Boston teams.
After the NHL lockout forced Leach out o f season ticket salesfor the L.A. Kings, he returned to Manchesterto work with the Monarchs organization. Imfortunate to work in the industry I went to school forin the town where I live, cited Leach
Another speaker on the day was Dawn Miller,who many know as the assistant to the CHS AthleticDirector, but is also a hair stylist for Shear ClassBeauty Salon located in Hudson. Miller along with
fellow stylist Liane Wells addressed the class, notingthe logging of many hours before ever being ableto touch a customers hair. Saying that there was alot to learn and its not as simple as one might think,Miller also touched upon the importance and lengthof time of establishing a positive reputation; a keyelement for establishing clientele and becomingsuccessful.
For those interested in pursuing a career in thisprofession, Wells revealed three principle waysone can become a hair stylist; cosmetology coursesin high school, work at a salon as an apprentice
or attend a school such as the Hudson based Continental HairAcademy. You just dont go in and start cutting someones hair,
joked Miller. Lions Plan Psychic Fairsubmitted by Jeri Maynard, Hudson Lions Club

First times,for anyexperience,are full ofuncertainty.This is whata childfaces whenthe first visitto a dentist
lies ahead. As a parent, youcan do a lot to ease your child'sentry into the unknown land ofthe dentist's office.
It's all a matter ofpreparation. Most of your effortswill be preventative. First, don'ttalk up the visit ahead of time;this only gives your child anopportunity to hear about theexperiences of friends. Usuallythey will be exaggerated,alarming accounts that canonly cause uncertainty andfear.
You can avoid this by notmentioning the dental visit untilthe night before, that waythere's no time for a lively
imagination to go to work on aroutine subject.
Don't make a special event out ofthe visit. Don't promise rewards; theyonly tell your child that somethingunusual is going to happen. That's asure way to trigger anxiety.
Your best attitude is to have noattitude. You want to convey thatthe dentist is another friend, like
those who come to your home andshow they care about your child.You want to make the visit to thedentist seem like one more typicalchildhood experience.
Be prepared for questions,children are full of them. Be factualin answering them. The dentistwants to know what's happening inyour mouth. He'll shine lights and hasa tiny mirror. He'll let you becomeacquainted with the instruments heuses in your mouth.
Most difficult rule to follow: Stayout of the treatment room. In yourchild's eyes you're the protector, theguardian. Your presence signalsdanger. There is none. Your trustbecomes a model for your child.

SportsCougars Compete at D-3
Cross Country States
by Marc AyotteGrabbing the headlines once again on October 26 was Sean
Munnely when the Campbell X-C teams competed at the 2013divisional championships at Derryfield. Munnelys gravitation togreatness continued this time in 5K competition as he posted atime of 17:44 to finish 15th in the field of 195 runners. As a result,Munnely is the sole CHS representative to qualify to compete atthe Meet of Champions to be held at Mines Falls in Nashua onSaturday, November 2.
Also having a solid showing in this years states for Coach KellyFrasers squad despite not moving on to compete along the banksof the Nashua River, was Ryan Perigny, who finished 47th overallwith a time of 19:02. As a senior and after competing in his lastX-C event as a Cougar, Perigny shared his thoughts about the roadto the D-3 championships; I had a rocky start to the season withone of my slowest times in my high school career in our first racebut I was able to make quick adjustments and get back on myfeet to eventually record my fastest time of my high school careerthe week before states. With momentum on his side, he added;I had never felt more confident going into a race than I did onSaturday.
With respect to theone on one battle withthe tough Derryfieldcourse, as well as thesport of cross countryracing, Perigny becamephilosophical; Ive heardpeople say theyd rathershoot themselves in thefoot rather than run atDerryfield because of thechallenging hills and thepressure of the crowd. Ilove that course. The
hardest battle a runner hasto overcome is the mentalgame, which I conquerwith no hesitation. TheCHS runner who hadnumber 694 pinned
to his jersey continued by expounding upon hisefforts and expectations; If you can defeat the
course mentally than youve done all the hardwork. Knowing I was never going to qualify atthat race, my one goal was to overcome my finalattempt at this course both mentally and physically,and I believe I accomplished my goal by recordinga time that I am proud of and has shown all thework that I have put in through my four years ofrunning.
Completing the top five finishers for Campbellwho contributed to the overall team score were:Marcus Rothaker (3rd, 88th overall, 19:53),Michael Gray (4th, 94th overall, 20:02) and SamMunnelly (5th, 116th overall, 20:41).
