by Len LathropThe last hurdle before March

10 voting for the town ballotoccurred Saturday morning at9 a.m. Yes, it was cold and thewind was blowing, but the roadsand parking lot were clear.

Chairs were arranged and theHudson Junior Women werethere with cookies, cakes andsandwiches to keep everyonewell fed. Now here is therub, and this is directed to thefolks that were not there, theseats were two-thirds empty,

head count of the audiencewas 36 at 10:30, and with theassistance of former SelectmanTed Luzzi only 13 people inthe community center were nottown staff or had some positionin government. Almost forgot tomention the budget committeemembers and selectmen sittingin the front; that makes another16 people. Just setting the stagefor the meeting. After, the colorswere posted by the Hudson Police Departments Honor Guard and thenational anthem was sung by HPD Lieutenant Charles Dyac.

There are 13 articles that you are being asked to decide on, by thenumbers:

Article 1 - Construction of a new fire station created the most discussionof the day. The proposal is to build a new station on Lowell Road acrossfrom the Fairview Nursing Home; it is a bond issue, which will requires athree-fifths vote. The price of the project is $2,174,600, built on town land.Selectman Roger Coutu pontificated on how surrounding communities arespending twice as much as Hudson for a station, causing a question from thefloor of why? Chief Buxton explained the saving come from the town owningthe land, that the plans had come from Londonderry and had been used fourtimes in different towns and is a great design, with the property having townsewer and water is also a saving to the citizens. Chief Burton mentioned thatthis new station would cost the average Hudson homeowner $282 over theten years of the bond. Questions from location in the south end of town totraffic on Lowell Road were discussed. Selectman Maddox spoke to the factthat this station is a necessity and not just a want.

A general fund operating budget of $24,392,956 received much less

Litcheld Deliberative SessionLeads to Little Change in Proposed Town Articles

by Mike Falzone

For those who arent involved in town politicsor budgets, Saturdays Litchfield Town Deliberativesession was the unveiling of the proposed 2015town budget.

The process begins in summer with the selectmenmeeting with town department heads to ironout projections and needs to bring to the budgetcommittee.

Over the course of two months in the fall, thebudget committee and selectmen discuss eachline item and debate the needs vs. wants, and finalbudget amounts.

Saturdays presentation delivered the proposedbudget at $5,232,478. The budget represents a4.49 percent increase. About 40 people were inattendance to hear the presentation.

There were five areas of major increase over lastyear:

Police Administration, $119,376, whichincluded the police contract approved lastyear, and a cruiser purchase.

Informat ion Technology, $69,325 whichrepresented an IT support contract, workwhich had up to now been done on avolunteer basis.

Personnel Administration, $25,391, whichencased workers comp, social security,retirement, and a decline in health insurancecosts.

Road Maintenance, $15,696, which wasincreased road repairs and salt purchases.

Assessing, $11,606, which was the fifth yearof a five-year cycle.

Solid Waste, a decrease of $16,395 thatresulted from a change in the way the townhandles wood recycling.

There wasnt much discussion about the budget

other than the presentation by Budget ChairpersonCindy Coture, which passed without much fanfare,to be presented to voters on Election Day on March10.

A total of 18 warrant articles were presented inaddition to the budget, only nine of which had animmediate financial impact to voters.

Articles 2-4 centered on an overlay of a Multi-Family Dwelling district, impact fee changes, andAccessory Dwelling Unit changes.

Article 6 focused on road improvements andupcoming paving projects. Litchfield has 77 milesof roads, and 16.71 miles of those roads are in needof repair. The last few years, the town has beenusing highway block grant monies to catch up onroad reclaiming and repaving, and has gotten on amore even schedule of repairs.

Litchfield lists 26 percent of its road in poorcondition, and on a current cost basis, wouldneed $4,636,905 to bring those roads to a goodcondition.

The five-year priority plan will cost the townan estimated $2.2 million. The warrant articlestates: To see if the Town will vote to raise andappropriate the sum of $200,000 for the purposeof road pavement improvement projects. It isanticipated that these funds will be used toward thecost of repairs to Pinecrest Road and Blue Jay Wayas well as other roads as necessary.

In addition to the $200,000, Litchfield will use$170,000 in highway block grant monies to makeemergency repairs to McElwain and Woodburndrives, repave the remaining half of Stark Lane,rebuild a portion o f Albuquerque Road, reclaimRobyn Road, shim 1,000 feet of Nesenkeag Drive,patch Page Road, and overlay Musquash Drive. The

rebuilding of Mike Lane, including major drainage

repairs, is included.The article anticipates reclaiming Pinecrest Roadfrom Moose Hollow Road to Hillcrest Road, andreclaiming and repaving Blue Jay Way.

Article 7 targeted the replacement of the firedepartments airpacks. The article is expected to becovered 90 percent by FEMA grants. The currentairpacks were manufactured in 2001 and have a15-year life expectancy. The remainder will be paidthrough grants, or from the towns general fund,having no impact on the budget.

Article 8 proposed replacing a fire departmentutility vehicle for $20,000; Article 9 proposedrepaving the old town hall/fire station parkinglot for $70,000; Article 10 proposed replacing$12,970 in the Public Works Expendable TrustFunds, money that was used for the replacement ofa baler in 2014; Article 11 proposed $7,500 for thepurchase of a paint striping machine, allowing townemployees to repaint portions of crossing, stop bars,and warning markings on town roads.

The problem with adding town assets is thatwe have to maintain and house these things allyear long, for use one to two weeks of the year,explained Litchfield Budget Committee memberChris Pascussi. The next thing were going to needis a new building to house all the new tools andmachines we buy.

Article 12 proposed an extension of AlbuquerqueAvenue to a new intersection at Route 102, endingnear Tabernacle Church. The article seeks fundsfor planning, design, engineering and permittingfor extending Albuquerque Avenue to a newintersection along NH Route 102. This is the resultof the approval of 2014 Article 19 directing theBoard of Selectmen to bring forward an article

Selectmen Kick the Can Down the RoadRegarding Proposed Town Fee Increases

by Doug RobinsonHudson residents, as well as the Greater

Hudson Chamber of Commerce, voiced theirconcerns regarding the increase of town feesinvolving the Inspectional Division.

The Board of Directors of the Greater HudsonChamber of Commerce wrote the following letterto the board. Dear Hudson Selectmen: Thankyou for the opportunity to present this letter to youexpressing the views of the Board of Directors forthe Gr. Hudson Chamber of Commerce on theproposed changes to the Town of Hudsons Fees.

The Chamber would like to voice its concernregarding increasing these fees and the potentialeffect on economic development within the Town

of Hudson and housing affordability. Increasingfees on residential and commercial buildingpermit process may have a ripple effect on theprogress of our community. When so much of ourcommunity is invested in attracting and retainingbusiness to our region, increased building andpermit costs could have adverse consequences onpotential new business as well as affordability tomiddle class families.

We respectfully request further considerationbe given to the large step in increases on both theresidential and commercial fee structures and theimpact it may adversely result.

Tim Malley, of Malley Electric, commented thatany increase of fees would hurt the consumer.

He further stated that the increase in fees woulddrive someone out of our community.

Hudson Board of Selectmen Chair Roger Coutubelieved that the increased fees were hiddentaxes and that the fees were convoluted.

Hudson resident Glenn Della-Monica told theselectmen that for what you get, its not worth aheck of a lot.

Selectman Richard Maddox stated that theinspectional fees had not been changed since2004.

Hudson Fire Chief Rob Buxton said that hebelieved the (new) fee structure impacted theuser only. The average homeowner should notbe burdened for the inspectional costs incurred

by other homeowners or businesses.Chairman Coutu analyzed the cost increases

to be excessive stating, We are giving away the(Hudson) advantage (for businesses) as our pricesare the lowest. The proposed fee increases raisedthe permit fee from $25 to $60. The proposedresidential electrical permit fee went from $75 to$200. Permits for a roof went from $0 to $200.

As a result of the conflicting discussions, theselectmen then decided to kick the can downthe road, as commented by Selectman Maddox,and requested that the fire chief reviews hissuggestions and returns to the board at a laterdate.

attention. Budget Committee ChairShawn Jasper introduced the budget,remarking that it impacted the tax ratewith an increase of 9 cents over lastyears rate, which translates to $23 onthe average Hudson home. Jasper notedthat the committee had only reduced theamount by $18,000, all reflected in theRodgers Library portion of the financialplan with $3,000 due to cost of oil heatat the Hills building being over last yearsexpenditures and $15,000 from thepart-time salary line due to plans by theLibrary Trustees to pay overtime to staffworking on Sundays who had not worked

40 hours in that week.John Drabinowicz, an 18-year budget

committee member, rose and said henormally would not support an increasedbudget, but this represents a reasonableincrease. Roughly two-thirds of thebudget is personnel; the rest is inmechanical things - computers, trucks andbuilding maintenance, he said.

My name is RichardKahn and Im running forselectman for the townof Hudson, three-yearterm. I have a Bachelorof Science degree incomputer systemsfrom the University ofMassachusetts-Amherstand Master of Educationdegree from RivierCollege. I have been

married to Sherry for over 31 years and havea 27-year-old son, Matthew, daughter-in-lawNancy and first grandchild on the way. I haverun a landscaping business in town for the last 14years.

My campaign is still centered on the fiveprimary goals and objectives first defined threeyears ago. 1) accountability, 2) transparency, 3)fiscal restraint, 4) civil liberties, and 5) create abusiness-friendly climate.

1) Accountability There are steps we maytake at the local level to solve or at leastminimize problems created at higher levelsof government and I intend to take them.

2) Transparency Why should we force ourcitizens to go through hoops (RSA 91Arequests) to get information they are entitledto from their government?

If I have access to it and you are entitled toit, it is yours.

3) Fiscal restraint how come default budgetsare sometimes higher than actual budgets?If the budget is the same or worse when youvote no that to me says your vote does notcount. I would work to fix this problem.

4) Civil liberties On Sept. 11, 2001, we hadthe worst terrorist attack to date on Americansoil. We gave our government the PatriotAct of 2001 (warrantless wiretapping),Military Commissions Act of 2006 (suspendshabeas corpus), and the National DefenseAuthorization Act of 2008 (indefinitedetention without trial) and yet, they couldnot protect us from the Boston Marathonbombings. And lets not forget civil assetforfeiture for the Drug War.

5) Business-friendly climate many businessesin town seem to be at the mercy of busybodycivil servants who are neither civil nor

servants. When the only tool in your toolboxis a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.They all say they want to attract businessto town. They want a more efficientbureaucracy. I say, You want to attractbusiness to town? Get out of the way!

As you consider the options, you will seeone candidate for selectman is not saying whatthe other candidates are saying. If you likethat difference please let me have your vote onTuesday, March 10.

Isabel Chin, a violinist and asixth grader at Presentation ofMary Academy, and Daniel Chin,a violinist and a third grader atPMA, both of Windham, are two

of 44 Project STEP music studentswho were recently honored withthe National Arts and HumanitiesYouth Program Award. The awardis the signature program of thePresidents Committee on the Artsand the Humanities.

Chosen from a national pool ofmore than 350 nominations and50 finalists, Project STEP is one of12 programs across the countryto receive the award, which is thehighest honor for such programs inthe United States.

Project STEP (String Trainingand Education Program) wasrecognized for its rigorous, year-round classical string trainingprogram for under-representedminorities that invites them into aworld of classical music that might

not otherwise be available to them.Studies show long-term music educationprograms, such as the one Project STEPprovides, increases overall academicachievement, literacy and language abilities,communication, graduation rates, andcollege enrollment, as well as performanceskills, and cultural awareness.

Prompted by concern over the historicunderrepresentation of minority classicalmusicians, Project STEP was founded in1982 by William Moyer, a now-retiredBoston Symphony Orchestra personnelmanager. As the first program of its kind,Project STEPs mission is to address thisimbalance by identifying talented, motivatedyoung minority students and providing themwith access to the best string music trainingavailable. As of 2012, just five percent oforchestra musicians in the United Statesare African-American or Latino. Sixty

percent of Project STEP graduates are nowprofessionally involved in music.

Make Your Voice Heard

Tere is an ongoing movement in Concord to persuade the NH Legislatureto be the 17th state to call for a Constitutional Amendment to overturnCitizens United. We can add our voices to this by voting yes on WarrantArticle 15. Tis article has two parts that are directly related to the CitizensUnited decision.

Te first part specifies that only human beings and not artificial entitiesare endowed with Constitutional rights. Tese artificial entities includecorporations, unions, and non-profit groups. Tese groups certainly have

privileges and responsibilities, which are granted by us as citizens throughour elected representatives when we make laws defining the requirements andbenefits of incorporation. All the members of corporations and unions andnon-profits have rights as humans that are defined in the constitution, but thatare actually inherent and inalienable. Artificial entities do not have rights thatare inherent and inalienable; their privileges are defined and regulated by law.

Te second part specifies that money is not speech, so regulating politicalcontributions is not limiting political speech. Of course it costs money tobroadcast our speech through media and other public relations avenues,but that money is not the same as the speech itself. Government may andshould regulate, limit or prohibit political contributions and expendituresso everyone has equal access and ability to influence elections. All politicalcontributions and expenditures should be publicly disclosed; and spendingmoney to influence elections should not be construed as speech under the FirstAmendment.

It is hoped that such a Constitutional Amendment would help to removemuch of the influence of big money in politics, and would return to thepeople the confidence that their voice can be heard and that all voices will beheard equally. Please add your voice to this resolution to recapture the powerof all of us to be heard and to influence the political process. Please vote yes onArticle 15.

Ayotte Votes toFund Homeland

Security, ReversePresidents Actions

on Immigration

submitted by the Office of U.S. Senator Kelly AyotteU.S. Senator Kelly Ayotte (R-NH) today voted to start debate on the

Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act (H.R. 240),which would fund the nations homeland security programs throughSept. 30. The legislation, which previously passed the House ofRepresentatives, would also reverse the presidents unilateral actionson immigration. The bill failed to advance on a party line vote of 51to 48.

I voted to start debate on this legislation, which provides fundingfor our nations homeland security operations. It also would reversethe presidents unilateral actions on immigration actions thathe said more than 20 times he didnt have the authority to take,said Ayotte. This legislation should receive a full debate withopportunities for members of both parties to offer amendments,and its unfortunate that Senate Democrats voted against evenallowing debate on this bill. Republicans and Democrats must worktogether to find a path forward that ensures continued funding forthe Department of Homeland Security and addresses the presidentsexecutive actions on immigration.

Shaheen Reintroduces Legislation to Establish Health Care Equityfor Military Women, Dependents

Legislation would provide military women with free contraception, increase family planning resources, and

guarantee access to emergency contraception for sexual assault victims

submitted by the Office of U.S. Senator Jeanne ShaheenU.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) re-introduced legislation on

Feb. 4, the Access to Contraception for Women Servicemembers andDependents Act of 2015, which would overhaul current Departmentof Defenses policy on contraceptive coverage and family planningcounseling. Shaheens bill would bring health care provided by the

military in line with current law for civilian populations by ensuringthat all women who receive health care through the United Statesmilitary have access to all FDA-approved contraception with nohealth insurance co-pay.

Its wrong that women in the military dont have the sameprotections civilian women do to get the comprehensive care theyneed and deserve, Senator Shaheen said. No woman should beworried about how they will afford their contraception or find familyplanning services, and its time we come together to fix that for ourwomen in uniform and military families.

Comprehensive family planning counseling and education forservicemembers is woefully lacking, and this shortfall undercuts theirability to make informed decisions about their health care needs,said Sherry M. de Vries, Lt. Col., USMCR (Ret.). This bill gives ourtroops the tools they need to make those decisions and will certainlyhelp increase the health of our servicewomen and overall readinessof our armed forces.

I strongly support the Access to Contraception for WomenServicemembers and Dependents Act of 2014, said Glenna Tinney,Captain (Ret.), United States Navy. It should be a no brainerthat women who rely on TRICARE have standard contraceptive

coverage - all FDA-approved contraceptive methods and any relatededucation and counseling without cost sharing - that other womennow have under the Affordable Care Act. Contraception, the key tofamily planning, is basic preventive health care for women that iscritical to military readiness. Can we afford anything less?

More than 350,000 women serve on Active Duty in the armed

forces or in the Selected Reserve and put their lives and limbsat risk to safeguard our freedom, said Donna Barbisch, MajorGeneral, US Army (Ret.). They deserve the same access to careas the people they protect. Senator Shaheens bill ensures that ourservicemembers, and dependent family members who serve andsacrifice equally, have the same healthcare coverage, including

contraceptive coverage, provided to all other women enrolled in theFederal Employee Health Benefits Plan.The unintended pregnancy rate among women in the military is

significantly higher than in the general U.S. population, said Dr.Daniel Grossman, vice president for Research, Ibis ReproductiveHealth and Assistant Clinical Professor, University of California,San Francisco. Unwanted and mistimed pregnancy can havenegative health consequences for women and their children anddisrupt womens careers - and it also reduces troop readiness giventhe growing role that women play in the military. Comprehensiveefforts are needed to address the problem of unintended pregnancy,including providing contraceptive counseling to women andeducation to all members of the military, training of clinicians onevidence-based provision of services, and collection of better dataabout unintended pregnancy and contraceptive use.

The Access to Contraception for Women Service Members andDependents Act of 2015 will open doors for service women to gainthe best health care available, said Erica Hunt, Service WomensAction Network Interim CEO. Having strong and healthy servicemembers ensures operational and military readiness. Currentlyservicewomen do not have access to the reproductive health care

and education they need and this bill will help meet the healthneeds of the entire force, including servicewomen, and is critical tothe militarys ability to accomplish its mission.

The Access to Contraception for Women Servicemembersand Dependents Act builds off the Shaheen Amendment, whichwas signed into law in 2013 and creates health care equity to

women serving in the military. Studies have shown that the rateof unplanned pregnancy in the military is estimated to be up to 50percent higher than the unplanned pregnancy rate among civilianwomen, and the re-introduced legislation addresses contraceptiveaccess and counseling for all women who receive their care throughthe military and takes steps to ensure that servicewomen have the

best possible information about their health care and family planningoptions, wherever they are serving.Under Shaheens legislation, women receiving health care through

the United States military will be guaranteed access to all FDA-approved contraception with no health insurance co-pay, regardlessof where they receive it. Additionally, the legislation directs theDoD to develop and implement family planning education for allservicemembers at specific points during their service. Finally, thelegislation would also ensure access to emergency contraception forservicewomen who are survivors of military sexual assault so thatthat they receive the critical and time-sensitive medical counselingand care they may need.

Shaheen introduced this legislation in the 114th Congress, and thepolicy has received strong support from womens health advocates.Shaheens bill is co-sponsored by Senators Harry Reid (D-NV), PattyMurray (D-WA), Sherrod Brown (D-OH), Michael Bennet (D-CO),Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), Ed Markey(D-MA), Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY), Tammy Baldwin (D-WI), DickDurbin (D-IL), Chris Coons (D-DE), Bernie Sanders (I-VT), DebbieStabenow (D-MI), Barbara Boxer (D-CA), Elizabeth Warren (D-MA),Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), Maria Cantwell (D-WA), Bob Menendez

(D-NJ), Jon Tester (D-MT), Ben Cardin (D-MD), Mazie Hirono (D-HI),Al Franken (D-MN), and Brian Schatz (D-HI). Congresswoman JackieSpeier (D-CA) plans to introduce companion legislation in the Houselater this morning.

The Affordable Care Act- Part 3W.F.Boutin EA - Total Tax Solutions LLC

The Premium Tax Credit is the sum of the credit calculated amount foreach month. The credit amount is the lesser of 1) the monthly premiumfor the plan in which the taxpayer's family enrolled and 2) the monthlypremium for the taxpayer's applicable second lowest cost silver plan(SLCSP) minus the taxpayers contribution amount. The taxpayers

contribution amount is the taxpayers household income multiplied bythe applicable figure as determined in the following manner. Using theFPL based upon your family size, divide the household income by the100% FPL. The result is your household income in relation to the FPL asa percentage. Utilizing the percentage amount, use the chart as foundin the instructions for Form 8962, to determine your applicable figure.

An example:A single person, John, has an annual premium of $5000. His

applicable SLCSP as reported on his 1095-A is $5200. His householdincome for the year is $28725. 100% of his FPL for a family of 1 is$11490. $28725 divided by $11490 is 250% of the FPL. Based uponthe chart, 250% = an applicable figure of .0805. His PTC is the lower of$5000, his annual premium or the SLCSP of $5200 minus his contribu-tion amount which is $28725 (household income) x .0805 (applicablefigure) = $2312. $5200(his SLCSP) - $2312 (his calculated contributionamount) = $2888. The lesser of $5000 (his plan premiums) or $2888 ishis PTC. (Since all 12 months of his SLCSP and health plan were thesame, we can do a single annual calculation.)

Taxpayers who have changes in monthly amounts not shown on their1095-A (the taxpayer became eligible for an employer plan as anexample and did not notify the Marketplace) must do monthly calcula-tions. If the family size changed during the year since enrollment, thebigger the difference will be between advanced payments and actualcredit due. Taxpayers should notify the Marketplace ASAP aboutchanges in their circumstances. Unexpected increases in householdincome, marriage, divorce, birth of a child and changes in address arejust some of the circumstances where the Marketplace should benotified.

It is also worthy to note that the PTC is a refundable credit. If theamount of the calculation of credit is greater than the tax liability on thereturn, the taxpayer will receive the difference as a refund.

If you should receive a 1095-A which is incorrect, it is lost or younever receive the form, contact your Marketplace directly for areplacement. Form 1095-A is required to be mailed to taxpayers byJanuary 31st for the prior year of coverage.

As previously mentioned, some taxpayers opted to have an advancecredit payment paid directly to the insurance provider to lower theirmonthly premium amounts. When filing Form 8962, these taxpayerswill be calculating how much they should receive in credit due tohousehold income and will be subtracting the amount already paid tothe insurance carrier in advance. If an excessive amount was receivedduring the year due to changes in household conditions or due tounderestimating total income for the year, the difference will increasethe amount of tax due on the return.

For taxpayers whose household income is below 400% of the FPL,

the amount of taxed owed due to advanced payments may be limited.The new tax Form 8962 consists of 5 parts the last two to cover

unusual situations. In some circumstances, a taxpayer may be enrolledin a policy with a person who is not part of their tax family. This canhappen when a taxpayer got divorced or separated during the year. Ataxpayer who is claiming a deduction for a person who was actuallyenrolled in a policy by another taxpayer. A taxpayer who enrolls in apolicy but is actually being claimed by another taxpayer on their return.Also when a taxpayer decides to file separately from their spouse.Under these conditions, Part 4 of 8962 must to used for a Shared PolicyAllocation.

If taxpayers got married during the year, and one or both taxpayersreceived advance payments, they may use an alternative calculation todetermine their excess advance payments in Part 5 of 8962 AlternativeCalculation for Year of Marriage.

Litcheld Planning BoardProposes Zoning Amendments

submitted by Michael Caprioglio, Chairman,Litchfield Planning Board

The Town of Litchfield Planning Board is putting forth threewarrant articles to be voted on at the 2015 Town Meeting. Voterswill recognize the first article, the proposed Multi-Family OverlayDistrict. This new overlay district has again been put forth toensure the town is in compliance with state law, which requiresmulti-family residential construction be allowed. Without such anordinance, the town risks being challenged by a developer.

It is important that Litchfield include multi-family homes as apermitted use in its ordinance in order to control development,said Planning Board Chairman Mike Caprioglio. The proposeddistrict would permit multi-family homes in the northern andsouthern ends of town and requires a minimum of two acres ofland. Multi-family structures would be required to be designedconsistent with the towns single-family character and limited tosix units per building. The board is hopeful the voters will supportthe boards efforts to ensure the towns land use ordinances arecompliant with state law and ensure diverse housing choices forfuture generations.

The second article, a re-written impact fee ordinance, is theculmination of a couple years work to review and update both theimpact fee ordinance and fee schedules. The board is proposing

a complete overhaul of both to clarify and modernize the process.The two separate impact fee ordinances (Sections 1300 and1400) that exist today are proposed to be replaced with a singleordinance that consolidates both sets of provisions, reorganizescontent to clarify the process, and updates select provisions tomeet current practices and standards.

The final proposal by the board is a minor amendment to thetowns Accessory Dwelling Unit ordinance (Section 507 of thezoning ordinance) that was originally adopted in 2012. Since thattime, as part of the building permit application review process, ithas become apparent that the maximum of 650 square feet for anaccessory unit is not always adequate particularly in instanceswhere a handicap-accessible design is needed or there may betwo people living in the unit. The proposed amendment seeks toincrease the maximum size of such units from 650 to 800 squarefeet.

The planning board would like to extend an invitation toLitchfield residents to attend board meetings the first and thirdTuesday of the month, 7 p.m. at the town offices. Volunteers andnew members are always welcome. Contact Joan McKibben formore information at [email protected] or 424-2131.

First times,for anyexperience,are full ofuncertainty.This is whata childfaces whenthe first visit

to a dentistlies 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 that

the dentist is another friend, likethose 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.

And the GRAMMY Goes to ...Jared Cassedy

by Jillian DiPersio,Windham HighSchool Intern

On Monday, Feb. 2,2015, CBS This Morning

announced that WindhamHigh Schools very ownJared Cassedy had beennamed the recipient of the2015 Music Educator Awardpresented by the RecordingAcademy and the GRAMMYFoundation. Despite the factthat a snow day preventedMr. Cassedys studentsfrom giving him formalcongratulations, socialmedia and Mr. Cassedysinbox have been floodedwith words of joy andpride for this outstandingeducator.

The award was designedto recognize music educators for theirdedication to keeping music as anintegral part of their students lives.

Cassedy was chosen from a pool of over7,000 fine music educators from aroundthe nation.

Upon hearing the announcement,Cassedy recounted, I was completelyfloored. Beyond the excitement hefelt as a result of the announcementitself, he commented, CBS News did afantastic job on their piece. They reallyhighlighted the students and all theyhave done throughout the years to makethe band program the best that it canbe.

Kaley Missert, junior at WHS andFrench horn player in the Concert Band,said that she heard the announcement onthe news. Even on a snow day she Rolled out of bed at8:25, I stumbled downstairs, turned on the TV, it was like8:29 and I was freaking out I jumped up off the couch,I screamed, and I cried a little bit!

She certainly was not the only one. Amanda Bono,

WHS junior and flute player, explained, I was up at 8, Iwas so ready for it. I was beyond excited. This is a hugedeal for him and Im so happy hes gotten the recognitionfor it.

The entire Windham community was quick tocongratulate their band director right after theannouncement. WHS junior and bassoonist CierraCowan stated that, had it not been for the snow, Iprobably wouldve jumped up, screamed, said oh myGod you did it, hugged him, I totally knew this wouldhappen. Hes so deserving, I feel so lucky to have him asa teacher, a mentor, and a friend.

Cassedy was immediately inundated with calls, texts,

emails, and Facebook notifications. He joked, I usuallytry to keep a clean inbox but that has not been the casethis morning. Cassedy posted a message on Facebook,stating I wish I could call, hug, text, email every singleone of you! I am completely humbled and honored bythis! I want you to recognize that you have all impacted

me along my journey in so many ways and helped meto make it to where I am today. For that I am foreverin your debt! Thank you so much - I am beyond wordsand am completely blown away! Thank you GRAMMYFoundation GRAMMY in the Schools and the RecordingAcademy for recognizing the importance of musiceducation! This means the world to our professionalcommunity!

WHS Principal Ryan Kaplan said he woke up actuallyextra early today awaiting the CBS announcement thismorning. My wife and my two children sat with mearound the TV waiting for the news to break, and itwas such an extraordinary feeling to see Cassedy as thewinner of the Grammy Award. My whole family sharedin the excitement. However, he was not surprisedto hear the result. He stated, Going into this I couldnot imagine somebody more dedicated, committed,impassioned about music education than Mr. Cassedy.When you hear such news its just a validation of whatyou already knew.

Kaplan described Cassedy as an extraordinary teacher,professional, and colleague and the Windham SchoolDistrict and Windham community is incredibly blessedto have him on our team working for the betterment ofall of our students, not just students involved in the arts.He continued, The GRAMMY is simply a testament toall that he has done throughout his career up until thispoint.

Similarly, WHS Assistant Principal Bob Dawsondescribed Cassedy as the rare educator whotouches the lives of his students ... Althoughwe have had only three graduating classes, I amabsolutely certain that his students will continueto be inspired by his example, to learn in newways based on the motivation he has instilled inhim, quote him to their children or students orfriends, and more importantly, to smile at the greatmemories of rehearsals and shows from their timeat Windham High School.

Speaking with Cassedys students, it is clear tosee that his influence extends far beyond simply

music education. Bono described working withCassedy as a gift. She said, He is honestly oneof the best teachers I have ever had, not only justteaching music but its more than just music.

WHS junior and trumpet player, Conor Leland,said, Every day Mr. Cassedy inspires everyonearound him with his exuberant energy andpassion for music. Three years ago I came tothe high school not knowing much about theband and I was contemplating not participating.When I got to the high school, however,I realized that Mr. Cassedy had created acommunity of amazing and talented people thatI wanted to be a part of. Leland concluded,Mr. Cassedy has been a mentor and a true heroin my life, and I just want to say thank you tohim and a huge congratulations!

Likewise, Cierra Cowan explained that hermost memorable moment with Cassedy wasnot a performance but rather when I wasreally stressed out by midterms and he just

[asked] are you ok? You seem really stressedout. If theres anything I can do He knewsomething was off and he was just so worriedand concerned about my well being and we

just talked it out and I was not stressed at all bythe end.

Cassedy explained, This award representsmore than just music and teaching but acommunity of students who are truly committedand dedicated to music. Its a testament to whatthey have put into making this program what itis.

However, Bono stated that Cassedy is alwayssaying its all you guys (the students). Im

just glad that hes finally gotten recognition forhimself because I always feel like hes puttingit on the students. Im just glad he finally gotsomething for him.

Thumbsdowntothe HudsonMiddle Schoolfor forcingstudents totake off theirsweatshirtsbefore gettingin the lunchline becausesomeone isstealing food.Whats next,frisking andbody cavitysearches? If kids are stealing maybe they arehungry and their families need the reduced lunch

program. Is it too hard to have a monitor standwatch instead of humiliating developing teenagerswith taking off their clothes. A lawsuit waiting tohappen.

Thumbs upto all the neighbors on Oak Ave.It snowed and we came together and helpedeveryone out! The wine and vodka after helpedwarm everyone up too! Thank you for being ourneighbors!

Thumbs upto our son, Kevin, for making theDeans List High Honors at UNH for the 2014 fall

semester. We are so proud of you! Love, Momand Dad

Thumbs upto teaching cursive as part of theschool curriculum, as well as typing. Withoutlearning cursive our kids will not be able to writea thank you card; keep a personal journal or diary;or read the original version of The Declarationof Independence and the U.S. Constitution Billof Rights. Schools are designed to expand astudents horizons, not restrict it.

Thumbs downTown ofHudson for even thinking of

spending our money. You arenot watching our money. Myhealth insurance has increasedalong with more out of mypocket expenses for medicine.We cannot afford anymore. Notonly is our town spending ourmoney but have you noticedhow many new liquor storeswe have. Coliseum Ave.,Nashua, Elm Street, Manchesterand lets not forget the ones onthe highway just beyond thetoll plaza. How much did thiscost us? I would like to knowwho approved spending all thismoney on these stores. They saythat we will make more revenuebut how long is it going to taketo get this revenue back? Ohand one last thought: dont drink

and drive - arent we the onlystate to have liquor stores onour highways? Please go vote inMarch - get these spenders out ofoffice.

Thumbs up. Thank God forgood neighbors at HighlandWoods. After the 32-inchsnowfall I went out to shovel thesidewalk. I got about 25% doneand took my first break. My wifetook one lookat me andtold me to gethelp or shewas calling9-1-1 to comeget me. Myneighbor andher 9th grade
