by Lynne OberThis week Litchfield selectmen

introduced their newest staff member. Linda Langille began work on Monday and is the first person to hold the newly crafted Office Manager position.

Langille has years of experience in the municipal world. She has recently been the Town Administrator for Greenville, NH, a town of 2,200, but has worked in the municipal area for years.

She was Greenville’s Town Administrator for eight years and felt that this new position was the right position at the right time. While Greenville is not an SB-2 town, she had previously worked for New Ipswich, which is an SB-2 town, so she is familiar with Budget Committees, Deliberative Sessions and all the work associated with those activities.

Langille has a background in accounting and has completed a number of accounting courses, which is something that selectmen had identified as a key component for the job.

For the next few weeks selectmen have asked Langille to become familiar with the operations. She plans to report to them after she meets the department heads and becomes acquainted with the staff. At the recent selectmen’s meeting the conversation revolved around Highway Block Grant monies and even

though it was her first day, Langille was already able to make a contribution.

She’s been married for 36 years, has five children and five grandchildren. She

is looking forward to meeting residents so stop by and introduce yourself to Litchfield’s newest staff member.

Litchfield SelectmenIntroduce New Assistant

by Gina M. VotourSometimes a discussion for which

one is not necessarily prepared still turns out to be quite fruitful. Such was the experience of Hudson’s Sewer and Water Utility Committees during the June 2 Board of Selectmen workshop meeting.

Selectman Richard Maddox originally proposed the idea of speaking directly with both committees.

“These two committees control millions of dollars, service thousands of customers…I think it’s important....that we as a board can understand better, and the citizens can understand, what is involved in running a sewer and water utility,” began Maddox.

Although representatives from both committees explained that they did not know what the meeting would focus on or how to prepare, what was later termed “a healthy discussion” ensued throughout the evening.

Present from the Sewer Utility were committee Chairman Bernie Manor, members William Abbott and Craig Bailey, and Administrative Aide Donna Staffier-Sommers.

Manor began by stating that the Sewer Utility is in “pretty good shape” both financially and in terms of infrastructure, since the Highway Department has kept up with all needed repairs.

Manor agreed that communication with the City of Nashua regarding capital improvements to its sewer utility operation system, of which Hudson owns a 12 percent capacity, has been lacking. To aid in this area, a more formal meeting schedule with higher-level city authorities was suggested.

The question of allocation requests and expansion was brought to the table by Bailey, who asked the board what type of plan they would prefer in this area. The selectmen agreed that, at this point, it would be best to stick with a conservative stance, since capacity limits within the current district are already being approached.

The talk then shifted to the topic of a Vac-Con truck. Back in March, voters knocked down a proposal for a replacement Vac-Con, or drain cleaner, truck. Acting Town Engineer Gary Webster explained that the current truck, which is about 15 years old, is “really falling apart.”

Since, as Selectmen Chairman Roger Coutu pointed out, ‘no means no’ when it comes to voters’ desire on this issue, the next question

naturally was how to deal with the very possible scenario of this truck completely breaking down in the near future.

Webster responded that this would necessitate a rental truck, which could be “really expensive.” The option of a replacement truck purchase being placed on the ballot once again next year was therefore discussed. Selectman Shawn Jasper emphasized that if this route were to be taken, it would be wise to disseminate more information to voters beforehand.

The meeting focus then proceeded to the Water Utility. Committee members present included Chairman Leo Bernard, Vice Chairman Jeff Rider and members Ray Rowell and Dave Shaw.

Rider explained that the Water Utility infrastructure is in “fairly good shape,” pointing out that new pipes are needed in some areas to replace older fixtures. He also highlighted some recent improvements such as the new water tank and water line in the southern part of town.

Rider then revealed agenda items from Water Utility Committee meetings such as the discovery of additional water sources, a potential master plan for system line upgrades and extensions, and a possible rate increase.

The prospect of siting a new well was therefore explored since the town has funds collected from fees to potentially support the steps needed to undertake such a venture, including the establishment of test wells.

Also at this point, rumors of Litchfield taking their three wells back were put to rest as Town Administrator Steve Malizia emphasized that Hudson is the “rightful owner” of a portion of those wells, which also serve Windham in addition to Hudson and Litchfield.

Regarding future expansion of the Water Utility, Jasper explained that the intention was never to expand as a municipality but only as individual developments occurred. The selectmen also agreed that a preparedness plan should be devised to address future contamination and pressure issues.

The sensitive topic of a rate increase was then broached. Pointing out that there has not been an increase in eleven years, Rider asked if the board would prefer frequent small increases or one larger increase.

“I personally don’t want to see rates

by Gina M. VotourThe Town of Hudson recently

granted the 2009 contract for the Town-Wide Paving Project to CLD Acquisitions LLC-CLD Paving of Belmont.

For this task, funds not to exceed $400,000 were originally appropriated from the town’s Fiscal Year 2010 (FY10) budget under line item 5552-248 Public Works Streets-Street Overlay.

However, due to the voters’ failure of the FY10 operating budget, the default budget will be utilized. As a result, Road Agent Kevin Burns plans to put only $250,000 from this account toward town-wide paving since the remaining funds must be used to aid areas in which monies were lost.

“Because of the default budget, I need to reserve some funds to cover increased trash expenses and salt,” said Burns during the June 9 Board of Selectmen meeting.

Responding to Burns’ decision, Selectman Ken Massey stated to the viewing audience, “This is a logical explanation of why when you make votes, there are consequences and the consequence of this one was we have less money in this year’s budget than we put before the voters, so we had to make a lot of difficult choices … I think you’ve made a tough

decision Mr. Burns, and I commend you for that.”

A Request for Bids yielded a total of four proposals for this project. Continental Paving, Inc. of Londonderry submitted the highest figure of $315,550 followed by Pike Industries, Inc. of Hooksett who placed a bid for $312,900. Brox Industries Inc. of Dracut ,MA, the firm selected for Hudson’s 2008 Town-Wide Paving Project, came in with a proposal of $286,000.

With an offer of $270,530, CLD Paving had put forward the lowest bid and was therefore awarded this year’s contract.

Up to this point, CLD Paving has primarily worked within the lakes region of New Hampshire. According to Burns, the company comes highly recommended by several towns in which they have worked previously.

In closing, Burns warned that the town is nevertheless in an overall situation in which future road conditions are likely to quickly deteriorate.

“We are really going down the road to very bad roads. Right now, we are on a rotation of almost 140 years between pavings ... we’re that far out … and it’s going to come back and haunt us in the not too

distant future … this is something that could get very costly,” stated Burns. He further explained that the town contains 190 miles worth of road and that it currently costs about $176,000 to pave just one mile.

Selectmen Chairman Roger Coutu then asked Burns whether he has contacted the state regarding availability of stimulus funds for critical road areas. Burns revealed that all stimulus funds for paving are currently being used at the state level. “The money is coming into the state but it is not coming down to the towns,” he replied.

Burns additionally pointed out that the state is doing three times more paving this year than last year. The good news here is that Route 111 in Hudson is part of the state’s current plan.

Selectmen Ken Massey and Shawn Jasper each then suggested ideas regarding how potential costs for larger scale paving projects at the town level could be handled in the long term.

For the immediate future however, Hudson’s 2009 Town-Wide Paving Project will cover approximately 2 miles of road and is scheduled to begin soon after the July 1 commencement of the new fiscal year.

by Gina M. VotourThe Professional Fire Fighters of Hudson I.A.F.F.

Local 3154 will once again be holding “Fill the Boot” drives this summer to support the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA).

The drives will occur on June 20, July 18, and August 22 between approximately 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. each Saturday. During these times, firefighters will be found at the intersections of Derry, Chase and Ferry Streets with the goal of collecting funds to “fill their boots.”

All proceeds will benefit MDA, a “national voluntary health agency working to defeat muscular dystrophy and related diseases …”

Established in 1950, MDA is “funded almost entirely by individual private contributions.” According to its website, 78.4 cents of each dollar contributed is spent on research, services and education to aid over one million Americans affected by muscular dystrophy and other related diseases.

The International Association of Fire Fighters (I.A.F.F.) is MDA’s largest national sponsor. Over the past 55 years, I.A.F.F. members have donated close to $275 million to MDA through telethons and other fundraisers such as the Fill the Boot campaign.

MDA Chairman and well-known celebrity Jerry Lewis has publicly stated that “Firefighters are my heroes. They have given selflessly of their time and resources to help MDA, and it never ceases to gratify me that so many of you care so much about ‘my kids’.”

The Hudson Fire Department has participated in Fill the Boot drives for the past 12 years. In 2008, the department raised a total of $18,000, the highest amount collected by any New Hampshire municipality that year. The majority of funds gathered in Hudson directly benefit MDA programs within the town itself and also within the state as a whole.

Firefighter Kevin Blinn, who is Vice president of the Local 3154, is grateful for the support that made last year’s success possible in Hudson and, anticipating support once again, Blinn hopes “to make this year one of our best years ever.”

Flag Disposal Collectionby Lynne Ober

Hudson VFW Post 5791 is collecting worn, torn, or dirty American flags for disposal.

Do you know the correct disposal method for an American flag? Do you know that a worn flag cannot simply be discarded in the trash? Even if you do know that a flag should be burned, do you know the procedure for correctly doing that?

Disposal of a faded or worn American flag is to be done in one of three ways. You can, if necessary, put the flag out for trash collection only after you have removed the blue field from the flag. The blue field is to be burned in a peaceful manner and the ashes buried. You can burn your flag and bury the ashes. Or you can

also give the flag to any American Legion, VFW, or government office as they will know where to send the flag for proper disposal.

Using old newspaper dispensing boxes donated by Area News Group, the men of the VFW repainted the boxes red, white and blue and labeled them with VFW flag disposal labels. Three of the boxes have been distributed around Hudson — one in front of the VFW on Bockes Road; one at Town Hall; one at the Hudson Police Station.

If you have a flag needing to be disposed, take it to one of those locations and slip it into the box. VFW members will be collecting the flags, caring for them, and then once a year will be holding a flag disposal ceremony.

Pictured with the flag disposal box are Ron Miller, John Cotheimer and Al Hopkins

DeanDean is an 18-year-old senior at Campbell High

School who was diagnosed with brain cancer in May 2009. Often we read about someone’s tragedy and it doesn’t really make an impact on us because we don’t know them personally. However, Dean could be your child, your niece, nephew, brother, sister, aunt, uncle, grandchild, mother, father, child’s best friend - anyone.

As one of Dean’s former teachers, I had the pleasure of working with him for several years. Dean is a wonderful child who has grown up to be an incredible young man. He is a hard worker who never gives up. He is a big brother who cares about and helps his little brother. Dean used to go home everyday and make sure his brother started his homework. He is a sports enthusiast who loves snow boarding and competing. He is interested in welding and was fabricating his own pipes and jumps when he was in the sixth grade! He loves cars and motorcycles. He is a handsome young man who is full of life. He needs your help.

Just imagine the impact we could make if we all pitched in. If you are unable to help financially, perhaps you could give Dean your time by telling his story to friends and coworkers. Perhaps they could pool together to donate. Just imagine the money we could raise if we all sent a little something.

Hopefully you all saw the “A Night for Dean” ad in the June 5 Hudson~Litchfield News. But just in case you didn’t, here is the information again: June 27, 7 p.m. to midnight at the Hudson Fish and Game Club on Pine Road in Hudson. Tickets are available for purchase. E-mail [email protected] for additional details.

Donations can be made out to Gary and Laurie Andrews and mailed to Vincent Strokus, c/o Laurie Andrews, 5 Wissahickon Drive, Hudson NH 03051.

Progressives at WorkThe other day Representative Hardy of Litchfield

(no relation to Hillsborough County Sheriff Jim Hardy) issued a public appeal to all Representatives to contact the Progressive States Network and urge Congress to enact comprehensive health care reform.

The Honorable Woman likely had the best of intentions, but further review of her passion revealed interesting details. Hillary Clinton said she was not a Socialist, she was a Progressive. When Marxists became pariahs on society those that espoused communal government became Communists. When Communism was exposed as destroying individual liberty, freedom and free will the Communist became a Socialist. The term Socialist became so popular that even the fascists adopted the term. Remember that Nazi means ‘national socialist party.’

As Socialism was exposed for its flaws and life-stealing policies, a new word was needed to describe those who believed that government, not you, should have direct control of your life. The term chosen and used by Democrats and Republicans alike was “Progressive.” That is a nice sounding word. It evokes a feeling of moving toward something. So, it appears that the lineage of a progressive leads directly back to Karl Marx. It seems that a progressive, in general, wants big government, more government, more public dole,

more interference in one’s daily life and control over virtually every thing.

I will resist that notion. Each person is an individual. Each person has a God given life to live to the fullest and the natural right be given the opportunity to do and be what he or she may be. Barack Hussein Obama is a great example of what a person in a free and open non-progressive; non-socialist; non-communist; non-Marxist society can achieve. That is what this nation was founded upon, not “Progressive” ideas, but solid, natural ideals of individualism, exceptionalism and a willingness to work for oneself and thus create a better life for all.

Blessing of the AnimalsThis year is the 200th anniversary of the

establishment of the Litchfield Presbyterian Church in 1809. Events have been planned to celebrate throughout the year. On June 14, weather permitting, an outdoor Blessing of the Animals service will be held at the Church, 259 Charles Bancroft Highway at 10 a.m. (The church is next to the Fire Station and the Historical Society building.)

We know that in this difficult economic downturn, many of our animal friends have had to be turned over to various humane groups, or sadly, as is all too often the case here in Litchfield, left by the side of the road.

Please bring your pet and join us in this most unique service. Our animal friends deserve our recognition as well as our love. They are some of our most devoted and loyal companions.

Neighboring Towns at the New High School

As I write this letter I keep thinking of the Beatles song, Help. I’m writing as a Windham resident appealing to our Pelham neighbors. I read with great interest the newspaper article regarding the facilities proposal that was made to the Pelham School Board. And I think we can help each other out.

A lot of us were very disappointed when the regional high school failed. Although nobody ever had the nerve to say it in print, I’m just going to say it: I’m not the only one who thinks Windham kids had such a great high school experience in Salem because the cliques and snobbery in our schools was diluted out with the much more normal population of Salem. So yes, Pelham, I’m saying you’re normal.

Please believe me: there are many more of us nice people in Windham than the few snobby elitists, who may have put you off coming anywhere near us. We’d be thrilled if you would join us at the new high school, even if just for a couple of years while you plan and build your high school. You may find that the association works. Who knows?

With the economy going the way it is, now may not be the best time to build something as expensive as a high school and send your taxes skyrocketing like ours. You may end up voting a high school project down again. If Pelham students were to come to the new high school, they would benefit from state of the art science labs and facilities. I know that Windham students would enjoy an enhanced education with Pelham students there. With a larger student population, more courses could be offered and it would be more economical: lower per student cost. I don’t know anyone who wouldn’t love lower taxes. Pelham taxpayers could take the time to plan and build and make sure you’re getting the best for your money.

Who saw this economic crisis coming? Would knowing about it have changed the vote for a regional high school? Windham had an area agreement with Salem for 15 years that was very beneficial for all our children and both our towns. I wonder if Pelham would consider having a similar agreement with Windham, even for a couple of years. And like I said, I know there’s lots of support for this over here in Windham. Maybe we neighbors could help each other out.

I was told your school board was approached by the Windham School Board and will be again. Maybe you could let them know how you feel.

By the way, anyone who is upset by my speaking about the snobbery and elitism here in Windham, take a good, long look at yourself. It’s never too late to change.

Calling All Residents of HudsonHave you ever wondered what our police force

does? Did you know we have some influx of gang representation in our town? Do you know what sexting is? How about what heroin looks like? What is the speed limit on the Sagamore Bridge? All these questions and so much more can be answered by just taking a course that the Hudson Police Department offers once a year.

I have had the opportunity to take a 10-week course called the Citizens Police Academy offered here in Hudson at the police station. We had classroom instructing, we went on field trips, we shot guns, there was a show and tell, we made new friends, we did it all and we had fun!

We went up to Concord to tour the Emergency 911 center, we were able to talk to the 911 operators and watch them perform their jobs. I got to do a ride-along with Officer Cummings on a quiet Saturday afternoon. I learned about and touched baggies filled with drugs. If I wasn’t against drugs before, after that presentation I certainly am scared to death of them now. I learned what our kids are exposed to on the internet in chat rooms and about internet predators. I learned that teens send pictures of themselves, without clothes on, to each other with their cell phones. That is called sexting, and it’s prevalent in our middle school. I learned what sobriety checkpoints are for and what the officer looks for when they pull someone over. We went to District Court and saw a mock trial, stage just for our benefit. There was a prosecutor, a defense attorney, a judge, a court bailiff and the defendant (one of my peers in class).

I highly recommend taking this class if you have the smallest interest in what goes on in our town. If you have children or if you have preconceived ideas about what our police department does, if you wonder what the graffiti means on the buildings. Wonder no more, the class is very informative, the officers give their time freely, and they answer any and all questions. I would take it again if I could.

I would like to thank, Chief of Police Jason Lavoie, Sergeant John McGregor, Lieutenant Kevin DiNapoli, Sergeant Charles Dyac, Sergeant Michael Niven, Sergeant Tad Dionne, Officers Kevin Sullivan, James Stys, Pharith Deng, Allison Cummings, Christopher Cavallaro, James Connor, Daniel Dolan, Cassandra Dabilis, Rachelle Megowen, Detectives Matthew Keller and Matthew Solari for all their time and patience with the newest group (Group XI) to graduate from the Hudson Citizens Police Academy.

Every year it is the honor of the Derry-Salem Elks to host a fishing derby for veterans, held at the Hudson Fish & Game. This year in attendance there were six veterans who came from the NH Veterans Home in Tilton, three veterans from Harbor Homes in Nashua (a shelter for homeless vets), and a number of veteran members of the lodge, along with 34 volunteers to help with baiting and fishing, and serving food.

They were served a barbeque lunch and each veteran was presented a trophy for their efforts. This year’s winner for ‘Biggest Fish’ was Doug Morse from the Harbor Homes for catching a trout 12 and 3/4 inches long. First prize winner for the ‘Most Fish’ went to Eileen Neuman, a 90-year-old Navy veteran from the Tilton Home, for catching five fish, and her largest was 11 and 1/2 inches. Second place winner was Richard Kamisky and third place winner was Vic Gaintriker, both from Tilton. The veterans caught a total of 20 fish.

We look forward to doing this each year and hope to be able to have more veterans in attendance.

HPD Receives Wal-Mart Grantby Gina M. Votour

Hudson’s Wal-Mart Foundation recently made a $1,000 donation to the Hudson Police Department (HPD) in support of its Community Policing Project. These funds were unanimously accepted “with thanks and appreciation” by the Board of Selectmen during their June 9 meeting.

“I think this is another example of the business community supporting the town and it is deeply appreciated,” stated Selectman Ken Massey.

According to the HPD Website, “Community Policing is based upon a partnership between the police and the community whereby [both] share responsibility for identifying, reducing, eliminating and preventing problems that impact community safety. By working together, the police and the community can reduce the incidence of crime and improve the quality of life in neighborhoods.”

Hudson has three community policing substations, one of which is

located at Wal-Mart on 254 Lowell Road. Sam’s Club was founded in 1983 as a division of Wal-Mart,

both companies being named after founder Sam Walton. Walton’s philosophy of “operating globally and giving back locally” is realized through the Wal-Mart Foundation, which aims to provide opportunities for local, state and national organizations to “improve the lives of individuals within our communities … through financial contributions, in-kind donations and volunteerism.”

Back in September 2008, Sam’s Club presented a $1,400 donation to the HPD’s Community Policing Project. Wal-Mart has also provided grants to the Hudson Fire Department, such as one in June 2008 for $5,000.

For 2008 as a whole, Wal-Mart and Sam’s Club contributed a grand total of $1,966,933 to causes and organizations within the state of New Hampshire.

Hudson Fire Department Offers Assistance with Digital TV Transition

The Hudson Fire Department is participating in the Digital TV Transition Assistance project sponsored by the International Association of Fire Chiefs (IAFC) and the Federal Communication Commission (FCC). This program was created to assist the public with the transition to digital television, which will aid in the amount of frequencies available for public safety.

How this program will work.When someone purchases a digital

converter box they will find a trouble-shooting guide inside to support the installation. The FCC has established a

call center to assist with troubleshooting at 888-225-5322 or [email protected]. In the event they are unable to assist with the troubleshooting the FCC will contact the Hudson Fire Department to provide this person with assistance.

The Hudson Fire Prevention Division will respond to this request and assist citizens with their digital converter box. Secondarily, the Hudson Fire Prevention Division will utilize this contact point as an opportunity to educate the public regarding fire safety, including smoke detector checks, home safety inspections, and identification

of residents who may be at risk in the community.

If you have any questions please contact the Hudson Fire Department Fire Prevention Division at 886-6021.

HMS Students of the Month

On June 6 at approximately 9:37 p.m., members of the Hudson Police and Fire departments responded to Steele Road at the entrance to the Green Meadow Golf Course for a report of a motorcycle that collided with the entrance gate. The golf course was not open at the time and the gate was closed.

Upon initial investigation, it was determined a 1996 Honda CBR900 was

traveling west on Steele Road approaching the gate to the Green Meadow Golf Course. The motorcycle struck the pavement and slid under the gate.

The operator of the motorcycle was identified as Joel Napolitano, 30, of Newburyport, MA. He was attended to on scene by Hudson Fire Department personnel. He refused any additional medical treatment. Napolitano was

wearing a helmet at the time of the crash.The investigation continued and

Napolitano was subsequently arrested for Driving While Intoxicated. He was transported to the Hudson Police Department for booking. His bail was set at $1,000 personal recognizance and is scheduled to appear at the Nashua District Court for arraignment on Thursday, June 25.

Motorcycle Collides with Entrance Gate

On June 4, at approximately 4:30 p.m., members of the Hudson Police Fire Departments responded to Robinson Road at the intersection of Old Derry Road for a two-car collision.

Upon initial investigation, it was determined a 2006 Jeep Liberty was traveling east on Robinson Road, approaching the intersection of Old Derry Road. It was operated by Michelle Brady, 44, of Hudson. She was the lone occupant.

A Mercury Sable was traveling south on Old Derry Road approaching Robinson Road. The lone occupant was the driver, Christina Herbert, 36, of Hudson. Old Derry Road is governed by a stop sign at Robinson Road.

The Sable traveled south into the intersection and struck the Jeep, causing the Jeep to tip on its side and slide. The Jeep eventually righted itself as it struck a curb at the southeast corner of the intersection.

Both operators were attended to by Hudson Fire Department personnel. Herbert was subsequently transported to St. Joseph Hospital in Nashua for non-life threatening injuries. Herbert was not seat belted at the time of the crash. Brady had been seat belted and refused any further treatment from Hudson Fire Department.

The investigation determined Herbert failed to stop at the intersection and she will be charged with the stop sign violation.

Stop Sign Violation Cause of Accident

by Gina M. VotourDuring Hudson’s Board of Selectmen meeting on June 2, things

were tense between Shawn Jasper and other members of the Board.As selectman liaison to the Benson’s Committee, Jasper brought

up the issue of building maintenance on the property, specifically emphasizing that Benson’s cannot be opened to the public until roof repairs are made on several buildings within the site.

The state has mandated that three structures on the site…the Haselton Barn, the Office, and the Train Depot…be preserved and maintained by the town in a precise manner. Jasper then outlined an upcoming Benson’s Committee proposal involving potential repairs on additional fixtures such as the Gorilla Cage and the A-Frame building.

Since approximately $140,000 worth of lapsing funds were previously appropriated for the Benson’s project, Jasper put forth the committee’s wishes to use the funds for these repairs.

Time is of the essence however, since these particular funds will be diverted to the town’s surplus account within the General Fund if not used by June 30. Jasper therefore urged immediate action to secure a contractor RFP (request for proposal) which would hopefully lead to the establishment of a purchase order for this work before the deadline.

“It’s too bad we’ve waited this long but it is what it is. We really need to get some proposals out there and back quickly for at least a couple of those roofs,” stated Jasper.

The other board members expressed hesitation with some portions of this plan however. Selectman Richard Maddox pointed out that these dollars would not be lost should they end up in a surplus account since they would likely go back to taxpayers through a reduced rate. He therefore did not see the purpose in rushing to encumber the funds.

Although Selectmen Chairman Roger Coutu shared Jasper’s passion for this project, he felt the primary obligation in the immediate future should be the three main buildings. Selectman Ken Massey added that unforeseen costs relating to park maintenance could stem from repairs to any additional buildings at

this time.“It’s going to be hard to make a decision on whether to spend

money on these other buildings not knowing how they fit in the grand scheme of things,” said Massey.

Frustrated, Jasper referenced the 2002 Master Plan and asked his fellow board members why he is investing time in this project if they seem uninterested in the upcoming recommendations from the Benson’s Committee.

“[The] people of Hudson want this project; we’ve been waiting all these years… [we] appropriated this money for this purpose….We can’t open that park with those buildings in that condition, we have to make a decision…If you’re not willing to at least look at numbers with all the buildings included, then I’m not wasting anymore of my time,” Jasper proclaimed.

“All I’m asking is to let us gather the information [on the additional buildings] so that you can be educated as to what it’s going to cost and what it is that we’re looking to do…everything that is done is going to come back to this board, not nickel-one will be spent without the approval of the Board of Selectmen,” continued Jasper. He additionally suggested the option of volunteer work being used in the case of the board rejecting a future plan.

The board therefore asked Assistant Town Administrator Mark Pearson if it would be possible to assemble an RFP for work on the structures by June 26. Pearson assured the board that he would complete and post an RFP as soon as possible and that it should be fairly easy to obtain a repair estimate on all of the buildings at the same time.

“I will accomplish [the RFP establishment] in time for the board to encumber the money and make some informed decisions,” promised Pearson.

Massey then requested that specific qualifications be required from all interested contractors. The board also realized the possibility of several different contractors getting involved if a larger project involving more than just the three initial buildings becomes a reality.

“We’re going to listen to the presentation...we’ll entertain your bringing in all the buildings…but understand that we reserve the right to make that decision intelligently and it might not agree with you, but we will listen to the plan,” Coutu concluded in response to Jasper.

At press time, RFP copies were in fact available at Town Hall and on the town’s website www.ci.hudson.nh.us offering opportunities to bid on cost estimates through June 19. According to the proposal, a bid contract is anticipated for acceptance during the June 23 Board of Selectmen meeting.

TakeMeFishing.org gives some good information. Finding fi shing bait in your backyard is a wonderful way to kick off a fi shing trip with your children. They’ll love the outdoor treasure hunt and learning about nature. Worms are the most popular bait, and you can fi nd them almost anywhere.

Other good baits are grasshoppers, crickets and caterpillars.• Look for worms after a rain. Worms come to the surface then.

You can also easily pick them up early in the morning. Check on driveways, sidewalks and under rocks.

• Try at night in the spring or fall, and use a red plastic covering over your fl ashlight. Worms won’t see the red light. You can easily pick them up as they move on the surface.

• If it hasn’t rained for a while, try looking under old boards, bricks, logs or debris where the soil is still moist. Grab the worm as soon as you pick up the board, since they immediately try to go down a hole.

• Once you have worms, keep them in a large container fi lled with soft earth or compost. An ideal way to keep a dozen or more worms is in a large coffee can. Use a can opener to remove both ends, and then use the snap-on plastic lids (you will need two) to hold the worms. Since worms tend to go deep, simply turn over the can and open the top lid to get worms when fi shing.

• You can keep worms for weeks or longer in a large container of soft soil, mulch, compost or similar natural debris. Feed them with coffee grounds and vegetable scraps. Maintain a “worm bed” with a wood box from which they can’t escape, sunk in the ground and covered with a tight lid.

On May 29, Alvirne High School choruses, under the direction of Elizabeth Beaton, swept the competition at the Music in the Parks in Six Flags New England.

Winning fi rst place in every category, each of the choruses represented Alvirne in a very positive way. The B Naturals sang Lullaby of Birdland and a rendition of the National Anthem and

won fi rst place with a Superior rating in the Jazz Choir category. Alvirne Singers sang a snippet from Beethoven’s Ode to Joy accompanied by Soumya Vajjhala on the piano, and Bile them Cabbage Down accompanied by Hannah Bureau on the fi ddle. They also won fi rst place with a Superior rating in the Mixed Choir category. Finally, Women’s Choir sang I Will Be Earth and Come on Over Baby and won fi rst place with an Excellent rating in the Women’s Choir category.

In the Special Awards part of the ceremony, Hannah Bureau won the ‘Best Accompanist’ award for her fi ddle playing during Bile them Cabbage Down, and senior Angela Freeman won the ‘Best Solo Vocalist’ award for her improvisational scat solo during Lullaby of Birdland.

It is obvious that everybody’s hard work and dedication paid off.

On the heels of their success, the B Naturals were invited to sing at the opening of the American Defenders game at Holman Stadium in Nashua on Monday, June 1, where they brilliantly performed the National Anthem.

Congratulations, singers, for all your hard work! Your awards and recognition are well deserved!

On May 15, the Saint Francis of Assisi School in Litchfi eld held their Second Annual Talent Show at Talent Hall. The talent this year was fantastic! There were solo performances and duets, comedy skits, magic tricks, karate demonstrations, and dance routines. Even the teachers got into it with a song! The students look forward to this event, which celebrates the end of the year. The teachers would like to thank the Recreation Committee for allowing us the use of Talent Hall. We would also like to thank Tony Schaffer, who brought over the stereo equipment and set it all up for us!

Fantastic Talent Show at St. Francis School

by Katelyn HaggertyThroughout Jeanie Barkley’s life, she was

always giving of herself. Besides being a devoted wife and mother, volunteering could’ve been her middle name; she was always selfl essly helping others with a smile, and even a giggle. When thinking of Jeanie, one cannot imagine her without her big heart, that huge smile, and a lending hand. That’s just how she was.

But on December 22, 2007, Jeanie lost her long fi ght with a rare blood disease called aplastic anemia. In her memory, family and friends are holding the second

annual Jeanie Barkley Memorial Blood Drive and Bone Marrow Registry on Friday, June 19, from noon to 7 p.m. in the Alvirne High School gymnasium. With the help of the American Red Cross, you could give of yourself, like Jeanie did for so many others in her lifetime.

If you are at least 17 years old, healthy, weigh more than 110 pounds, and haven’t given blood in the past eight weeks, you are eligible to donate. Last year about 300 people attended the Blood Drive and 188 units of blood were collected. Please help to surpass this year’s goal of 175 units.

There is an urgent need for blood as the summer has begun and blood supplies and donations are low.

At the Blood Drive, Hudson Girl Scout Troop 10547 will be staffi ng a canteen with pizza and light refreshments donated by local businesses, and all blood donors will receive the following: a Red Sox T-shirt, Pizza Hut coupon, and a chance to win a remote car starter from GS Audiowurks of Hudson.

With Jeanie in mind, “Giving is Good.” Please donate. The need is great and you can help.

Margaret Mead once said, “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.” This is a contagious thought that is infecting many college students across the United States today. One such example of this passionate drive for service comes out of Washington, DC, and it involves a college student from right here in Hudson.

From March 13 to 20, a group of 14 students from George Washington University in Washington, DC, traveled to rural Costa Rica during their spring break to deliver school supplies to an

elementary school and to volunteer with the school’s students. Amongst the group of students was Brandon P. Mansur, 21, of Hudson. The group that he traveled to Costa Rica with was the Circle K, which is the largest collegiate service organization and service leadership program in the world. It is also the college auxiliary organization of Kiwanis International. The Kiwanis Club of Hudson (located at 19 Melendy Drive) made a donation to the student group to help defray some of the expenses of the student service trip, thereby infusing an even broader reach of supporters into the project. It also demonstrated the unique partnership and

relationship between Kiwanis and Circle K.Brandon and his fellow Circle K members ventured to the small

town of Bataan, Costa Rica to carry out a weeklong community service project. During this trip, the students renovated and refurbished the classrooms and playgrounds of Bataan Elementary School (Escuela de Bataan) in eastern Costa Rica, in addition to establishing a connection with the students and building a positive rapport for future trips and educational exchanges. Brandon and his fellow students also donated school supplies, books, school uniforms, and other resources, giving these underprivileged children

some of the necessary school items to help the students be ready for the start of the academic year in March. The trip was led by George Washington University Circle K President Orlando Carvajal, who was born in Costa Rica, and thus carried forth a personal sense of community service and national pride throughout the trip. It was largely due to his vision that Brandon and the other Circle K members traveled to Costa Rica to help serve the children of this particular school. And, it was through this simple, weeklong service project that a countless number of hopes, dreams, and smiles were born. It was about one small group of “thoughtful, committed citizens” changing the world.

Brandon P. Mansur will be a senior at George Washington University in the fall, and he will continue to execute on the hinges of a deep desire to serve his local community and the world-at-large.

If you are interested in learning more about Circle K or volunteering in Costa Rica, you may contact him at [email protected].

The third, fourth and fifth grade members of the Nottingham West Elementary School Walking Club walk weekly, four times around the school, during their recess. Every Friday, students can participate by walking one mile (four laps)

around the school and receive feet

charms to keep track of their distance. Since the first week of walking on May 8, the students have collectively walked to Washington, DC. The Walking Club invites

guests to walk with the students around the school, and past visitors have included Principal Durso and School Resource Officer Roger Lamarche.

On Friday, June 5, four members of the American Defenders baseball team of New Hampshire and their mascot joined the students during their walk, as well as to shoot some basketballs and throw a football. The mascot joined in by running up the monkey bars and swinging on the swing.

The American Defenders baseball team is made up of players selected from thousands of military personnel worldwide and represents some of the most talented athletes in the Armed Forces. The majority have deployed in direct support to the Global War on Terrorism.

Everyone had a great time, and the students all got a “meet-and-greet” time with the players before heading in for lunch.

SportsSportsSportsThe Litchfi eld Middle School baseball team fi nished off a perfect

11-0 season by winning the 2009 Tri-County Class M Championship. After beating Hampstead, last year’s champions, in the semi-fi nal playoff round by a score of 11-3, Litchfi eld faced a very solid team

from Sanborn. During regular season play, Sanborn had given the Litchfi eld Middle School boys their toughest competition and the championship game was no different. Remaining scoreless in the early innings through solid pitching and defense by both teams,

Sanborn was fi rst to score a run in the top of the fourth inning. Litchfi eld responded quickly, evening the score with a solo homerun in the bottom of the fourth. After adding a run in the bottom of the fi fth and sixth innings, Litchfi eld held on for a 3-1 win over Sanborn and celebrated their title as champions and a hard earned undefeated season.

In the regular season fi nale, the Thunderbirds played another great game in a 9-9 tie against the top seeded Falcons. With three players absent, the girls continued to play well as a team. Leading the way with the bats were Lysandra Matos, Liz Paladino,

Caroline Truesdell, Rachel Perron, and Meaghan Connors with multiple hits each. The defense was great, led by Rebekah Alpert, Makaela Page, Christine Cabral, Liz, and Caroline. Olivia Roberts was outstanding in her fi rst pitching appearance. Allowing just one run in two solid innings. Kylie Marcotte continues to pitch well for the TBirds, always throwing strikes with great enthusiasm.

Hudson Girls SoftballLeague Highlights

by Sue LaRocheTwo players from both the boys and girls

tennis squads qualifi ed for the individual state tournament this past weekend. The boys matches were held at Memorial Field in Concord NH and the girls tournament was divided between Derryfi eld School and Southern New Hampshire University.

For the boys, senior captain Jie Gu, who is co-valedictorian of his class and headed to Dartmouth, qualifi ed in the singles and lost a close match in the round of 32. Gu and senior Bob Gaudet, headed to Keene State, qualifi ed in doubles. After going down 6-1 in the set, the Broncos rallied to tie it up at 7-7 but fell just short losing 9-7. Both young men represented Alvirne admirably and are considered among the top 32 singles players, and doubles teams in the state.

On the girl’s side, senior captain Kayla Belanger, who is headed for the University of Rhode Island, qualifi ed in singles and made it to the round of 16 losing a hard fought battle in singles. Deanna Trearchis also qualifi ed in singles and lost in the round of 32 to the number 2 seed in the tournament. In doubles, the team of Belanger and Trearchis, who were seeded number four in the tournament, came out strong and made it to the quarterfi nals before losing a very close match 6-4, 5-7, 5-7. All of these athletes were selected on a very strict set of qualifi cations, and are considered the best in the state of New Hampshire as only the top players from all NHIAA Classes (S, I, M and L) are invited to play in this event.

Thank You from Rodgers Family

The Rodgers families would like to thank all those who participated in making the library dedication the great success it was. We all believe that the day is one we will never forget and it is due in large part to the generosity of time and materials of so many people that made the event run so smoothly. We would be remiss if we did not give our most deepest thanks to Gary and Robin Rodgers, Dave and Michele Alukonis and the members of the Historical Society for putting on a fantastic meal. We hope all those who attended the event enjoyed it as much as we did.

G. Philip Rodgers - Hudson

by Len LathropOn Thursday, June 4, Campbell High

School (CHS) entered into NHIAA tournament play with both the softball team and the baseball team seeing action on Wednesday and Thursday respectively. The opponent for both games was Fall Mountain Regional High School, which serves the towns of Ashworth, Alstead, Charlestown, Langdon and Walpole. The Lady Cougars posted a 3-0 victory while the men pounded Fall Mountain 11-3. Both squads played in the quarter-finals on Saturday. The baseball team faced number 10 ranked Somersworth in Litchfield and the softball unit travelled to Gilford who were ranked number three by the NHIAA.

The ladies were in a pitching duel on the Gilford diamond between Cougar Julia Nolan and Gilford’s Lindsay Carr who both finished with eight strikeouts and just two hits. The Lady Cougars’ 1-0 win came in the sixth inning. Rebecca Arnone led off with a single, advanced to second on a fielder’s choice hit by Sam Radcliffe, then pitcher Nolan

hit a ball to second which wasn’t handled with Nolan reaching first and Arnone crossing the plate.

On the diamond in Litchfield the baseball squad came out hitting behind the pitching of Cullen Baker, who struck out ten holding Somersworth to just one run. It was a multi-hit game for Baker, Bobby Frappier, John Coughlin and Gabe

Williams. The final score was 11-1 with the contest ending in six innings.

With rain on Tuesday forcing the NHIAA to move all tournament play to later this week. The Cougar baseball team will play Wednesday at Memorial field in Concord, bringing their number two standing (17-1), to face number three ranked Winnisquam (15-3), while the ladies, ranked six with a record of 14-4 will be facing number two ranked Sanborn Regional (18-1) at Plymouth State University at 5 p.m.

With wins the baseball team will play Saturday at 1 p.m. at Merchantsauto.com Stadium in Manchester, while the ladies play at 5 p.m. at Plymouth State University.

Congratulations to the Campbell High School Class of 2009! Campbell’s mission is clear and concise; “Campbell High School’s

mission is to join together with parents, students, staff and community to become a collaboration of learners born of character, courage, respect and responsibility.” I believe each year’s graduation class is an affi rmation of this vision and achieved through the hard work of our students and by community members.

Many people feel that graduation is the end to the high school experience; others will tell you it is not an end, but a beginning of the rest of your life. I think graduation from high school is just one in a series of steps you will experience throughout your educational and professional careers. Many times the destination for which you are striving will not defi ne you, or defi ne success for you, but rather the collection of experiences, relationships and knowledge built up through your personal journey.

The community has made an investment in each and every one of you, in a variety of ways. Some “payback” has been received over the years by witnessing student accomplishments and growth in: academics, theater, sports and community service. Students have taken part in remarkable musical and acting performances, participate in recycling initiatives, engaged in a little good natured competition to help fi ll the Litchfi eld food pantry, and many will continue your education at colleges and universities across the United States. There are also little-publicized success stories in mentoring: Students “going back to GMS” to help mentor our youngest students, helping freshman make the transition to high school, serving in student government, and being a positive role model for others.

Students again demonstrated outstanding skills and sportsmanship on and off the playing fi elds and courts, showing school spirit and sportsmanship are Campbell High staples. It is truly amazing to see Campbell compete for championships and yet demonstrate the consistently high level of sportsmanship and team characteristics.

The talents on display at Senior Project night never cease to amaze. You may be referred to as the “Class of 2009,” but you are fi rst and foremost an amazing collection of individuals. As you fan out to your next destinations, I hope you continue to remember and draw on the lessons learned during your brief stay here at Campbell High School.

On behalf of all the residents of Litchfi eld and the entire Litchfi eld School Board, I congratulate you on your graduation and taking that next step in your lifelong journey of learning.

Dennis J. Miller, ChairmanLitchfi eld School District

To the 2009 Graduating Class of Campbell High School,

Congratulations on your special day! You have been a wonderfully giving, responsible and focused class. You have worked hard for this achievement, and have become a source of pride to your parents, teachers and community members.

It is a great honor to send a message of congratulations to you and your family. This is a moment that you and your parents have worked hard to achieve. Your high school graduation marks a major life event for you. You are now on the brink of true independence and adulthood.

You are now entering a time of your life where you will have more responsibilities and more freedom of choice. Use it wisely. You are at the crossroads of making your dreams come alive. As you have already learned, nothing substantial comes without a great deal of effort and persistence. You have the skills, courage, and integrity to make that happen.

You leave Campbell High School with two gifts that you have received from your parents and your teachers. One is roots and the other is wings. Whenever you go, remember your roots and spread your wings as far as your dreams will take you. On behalf of the all the teachers and staff who have touched your lives, thank you for allowing us to be a part of your amazing journey.

Respectfully yours,

Elaine F. Cutler, Ed.D.Superintendent of Schools

The time has come for you to leave us and move on to the next phase of your life. As you go, it is our hope that you take the lessons you have learned in the classroom and in the community at large and put them to the test. It is your job now to reach out and try new things. There will always be the risk of not succeeding, but that is not the same as failure. The only way for you to truly fail from here on is to stop trying. To quote a film we watched together, “Road blocks are put in the way to see if you want something bad enough. If you really want it, you will find a way to conquer what is in your way and get to where you want to go.” If there is something you truly want and the road is difficult, reach out for help. Asking for help to reach a goal is never a sign of weakness, it is truly an act of strength to know your limitations and use the resources around you to work toward a common end.

While you are finding your way through life, take a moment to think about those that have made a difference in your journey. Each of you have had at least one, if not many, people who have been an influence on the person you are today and the one that you will become. Take a moment to thank them for their efforts, it will mean a lot to both of you. In the years to come it will be your turn to be the positive influence in someone’s life. It will be a big responsibility,

which will bring you true satisfaction and not only help someone else to grow but help to create a better community.

I wish you all the best of luck in all you do. Reach for your dreams each day and don’t settle for less than your best. Enjoy the day, because it is your day.

Remember Broncos Forever,Principal Bryan K. Lane

Thumbs Up? Thumbs Down?Thumbs Up? Thumbs Down?


14 - June 12, 2009

“Thumbs down in response to ‘when is enough enough?’ I say enough already. Your letter though quite astonishing succeeded what you set out to achieve, the ruffling of taxpayers feathers. You are extremely narrow-minded if you think that others should share your views. You used some clever clichés but failed to mention some more; Rome wasn’t’ built in a day, Don’t pass the buck. Put your money where your mouth is, Education begins in the home just to mention a few. You asked a question at the end of your letter, ‘didn’t we all move here to make these schools the best in the state?” No we didn’t. Some of us moved here to have peace and quite, others to enjoy the land and it’s beauty, others to retire. Why are you here? Were you unable to get support where you were so you had to move here? As for me I will continue to share a Friday night pizza with my grandchildren and help them with their homework. Don’t be afraid to get directly involved. The rest of us are already doing it. Join the club.”

“Thumbs up what a special day, May 15th was at PMA. A day we will always remember. Mrs. Pilon you are truly a unique individual. You took the time and effort to honor the grandparents of the children in your pre-k class with a fantastic celebration. No words can begin to express the emotions and love felt by all. It was perfect from the wonderful snack, photos and show in the chapel to the tears laughter and smiles. You are a very special teacher. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. God bless you.”

“Thumbs up to all the wonderful kitchen ladies at Nottingham West for all the wonderful meals they’ve cooked up this year. They seldom receive thanks for their hard work and dedication. Among some of their great lunches, the turkey dinner, the pasta, BBQ chicken, the ham salad, the cold pasta and my favorite was the best ham & cheese quiche I’ve every had. Great job! From all of us at NWES Thank You!”

“Thumbs down to police chief O’Brion. It is not unlawful to use the word. It does not ‘evoke violence or a possible threat of injury.’ It is not a ‘fighting word.’ Why don’t you study the state’s statutes instead of ‘making up laws’ to suit your situation. You are a bully! I witnessed you threaten a citizen with arrest because she used that word. You always have to have the last word, don’t you. Well not this time! You are wrong! You continue to be an embarrassment to this town. Nobody respects you because you are nothing more than a ‘sorry little man’ in a cop’s suit.”

“Thumbs up to Maddi and an awesome softball season! Loved your team spirit and those powerful hits this season. You made us proud, can’t wait until next season!” Mom and Dad

“Thumbs up to Zach-attack for your first lacrosse goal! We love your fire and drive to never give up. We are so proud of you!” Mom and Dad

“Thumbs down to the Dance School. You forgot to thank all the back-stage mothers in your recital program once again this year. Since moving to your nice new building, you have seem to forgot about the people that allowed you to make the money to afford it! You didn’t care enough about them to write one lousy sentence to say ‘thanks.’ Classless...”

“Thumbs up to Katherine for a fantastic game on Monday night! Three excellent hits, great base-running, and a nice slide (?) into third!”

“Thumbs up, way up for Kristen C. for graduating summa cum laude from UNH Manchester, majoring in psychology. We’re all very proud of you.” Love, Mom, Dad, and Lindsay

“Thumbs up to Megan for making the All-Star game in the Senior Division in Hudson Girls Softball. You have had a great season and we are very proud of you.” Love, Mom and Dad

“Thumbs up to Project Safeguard. It was a great experience for of Litchfield.”

“Thumbs up to Dan Duval for everything he does for the children of New Hampshire.”

“Thumbs up to the Hudson Revolution for a great season. You Rock!”

“Thumbs down! To rude and inconsiderate Fox Hollow neighbors. You go away for the weekend quite often leaving your assigned parking spot open and parking your second vehicle in a ‘free’ spot. Finding a free parking spot lately is hard enough and then to see

your spot open for an entire weekend or more is just rude. Please have some consideration for your neighbors, especially those who come home late at night and have nowhere to park. Some of the neighbors have discussed parking in your spot when you are gone!”

“Thumbs down, a big ‘thumbs down’ to the repair shop in Hudson. How can you take advantage of people in these times of economic hardship. You fail every car that comes in for an inspection. You are supposed to be an inexpensive alternative to the big garages, I mean come on, $39.99 for an inspection. When right down the street from you it’s $19.99. It’s time for you to move on to the big cities because that is the only place you will find your ridiculous prices. I would never recommend you to even my worst enemy. Good luck in your quest to try to squeeze every hard working dime out of all the low and middle-income people in town. If it were up to me I would shut you down. Unhappy Ex-customer.”

“Thumbs up to everyone who supported the LGSL Family Fun Day and Cancer walk both were very successful thanks to a lot of wonderful people. Thank you!”

“Thumbs up to my big sister for her hard work and dedication through some very difficult times. We are all so proud of you.“

“Thumbs down to The Presentation of Mary Academy for the refusal to hold a Kindergarten Graduation even when the parents offered to pay and assemble the entire event. Reason: 90% of these children will not be staying at PMA so why should they host an event for these children. Umm because it’s for the children. A sad day in the neighborhood, public school here we come.”

“Thumbs down to the preschool parent for sending her child into school with lice and getting sent home everyday with lice. Do what the rest of us did amd clean your kid correctly, clean your whole house and car with the spray if it can’t be washed, keep your kid home till he/she is lice free. ‘Thumbs down’ to Nottingham West for allowing this child to return everyday and get sent home everyday. This child should need a doctors note to return.”

“Thumbs down to the Gym in Hudson for not recognizing or not caring that the members would like the temperature to be comfortable when they work out. I arrived there today and when I walked in the door, it felt like I was blasted with heat. I checked the thermostat and it was set on 72 degrees. I think they need to make it more comfortable in there if they want to increase the membership in there as well as keep the members they have. I have also noticed it getting a bit dirty in there. I have not seen the maintenance person they had in there for some time now, and if they got rid of him to save some money, it will end up costing them more in lost membership fees as well as not increase their revenue when other people don’t want to become members. Turn up the AC and clean it up!”

“Thumbs up to the Alvirne yearbook. After all the complaining it turned out to be an awesome book. Thank you to the staff and someday people will appreciate the hard work you put into it.”

“Thumbs up, a giant ‘thumbs up’ to Jason on the Litchfield School Board. It’s about time for the endless spending to stop and more accountability. You are truly representing the taxpayers of Litchfield and I suspect the others are not. Too many personal agendas.”

“Thumbs down to the Alvirne High School yearbook for forgetting multiple seniors and containing numerous mistakes. It’s unfortunate that such an important keepsake could be so sloppily put together.”

“Thumbs up to Mr. Lane for doing his best to help rectify the mistakes made in the yearbook, especially because they weren’t his fault.”

“Thumbs down to the Alvirne High School 2009 yearbook. There are so many mistakes, too many. I understand making a few mistakes, but I mean forgetting about ten seniors? This is their final year at that school and they’re not even in their own yearbook. All of them handing in all their information on time. This yearbook was the worst, poorly done yearbook I’ve seen in awhile. Would it be that hard to double check? Even other people in different grades not getting in it either. It’s really depressing. Never mind the

many grammar mistakes.”

“Thumbs up to Jared H.! He’s an awesome friend! He’s the best! Woohoo!”

“Thumbs up to our neighbors on Raymond Street. When our driveway was flooded, you came to our rescue with your water pump! Thank you, we are lucky to have such wonderful neighbors!”

“Thumbs down to lunch monitors who threaten our children that if they talk during lunch they will be sent to the behavioral room 208. Gosh, remember when we were kids and we were actually allowed to socialize at lunch? and did it do any harm, no it taught us social skills, Now wonder why kids can’t communicate and solve conflicts appropriately, they are not allowed to practice social skills. Let our kids talk and stop threatening them, save 208 for the real behavior problems and find a better way to discipline. When did talking become a behavioral problem, and don’t say oh they won’t eat, cause we all know they throw out a lot of food anyway. Let’s get back to the 70’s where we actually didn’t blow everything out of proportion.”

“Thumbs down. Litchfield parents, you set such a wonderful example by shooting fireworks. Not only does it disturb neighbors, it frightens the wildlife, causes chemicals to be released into the streets and woods, leaves waste products all over (we find the shell casings in our yard), and in very dry conditions is a potential fire hazard from the sparks. Can’t you show off in some other way?”

“Thumbs up, a big ‘thumbs up’ to AM for her loving, faithful and tireless support during my deployment to Iraq. You are an Amazing Woman and a Phenomenal Partner. Words can never adequately express what your prayers, thoughts, words, actions and sacrifices have meant to me during this very difficult challenge for us. Therefore, I’m coming home to show you every day!” Love, CG

“Thumbs up to all who arranged this wonderful day of camaraderie for the citizens of Hudson. It was an event to be celebrated and to be grateful for, a beautiful new library. We had perfect weather. The Alvirne High School Band is awesome. I had only ever heard them on TV before and had thought they were not that good; obviously the TV recording was poorly done. Thanks to Boy Scouts Jacob and Anthony who took care of the trash and us older citizens who are unable to walk or stand in line for food. I am very happy that I live in Hudson. You guys rock.”

“Thumbs down to people complaining about Hudson Speedway. That track has been in business for over 50 years, so everyone knew it was there when they bought a home in the area. It’s too late to complain about the noise now, you should have considered that when you bought your house. Don’t ruin our fun because you made a bad purchase.”

“Thumbs up to Chris, Mike and Mike—the coaches of the Kansas City Royals! Your

dedication and patience makes tee-ball fun every week, and it is very much appreciated—thank you.”

“Thumbs down to the NH Grizzlies, you give my son a terrible nickname between the coaches and now his team knows it as well. It is difficult to tell the coaches from the players with the great behavior demonstrated, no leadership and poor coaching - thanks for the fleecing.”

“Thumbs down to PMA for no kindergarten graduation. The kids work so hard all year long and look forward to this. Not to mention the amount of money we spend to have them go there. You should have a little something for them. There are plenty of parents that would help out I am sure.”

“Thumbs up to Barbara. You know who you are. We want you to know we are thinking of you!”

“Thumbs up to Sam for taking 1st place in the 100m & 200m race and 2nd in the discus. You go boy!”

“Thumbs up to Mark for his perfect homerun on Monday night!”

“Thumbs up to Cole for making all three outs in the 2nd inning!”

Thumbs up to Brennan -- two doubles during a double-header! Congratulations!”

“Thumbs up, way up, to my daughter Amanda for many years of consistent commitment to academic excellence. You have always gone above and beyond and your hard work has paid off. You have also remained honest, kind and true to yourself. I am very proud of you and all you have achieved.” Love you, Mom

“Thumbs down to the old pickup truck driver using foul language in front of my 11 year old. I know how to drive, do you? The middle lane is for getting out onto busy roads, I wasn’t cutting you off. Get some glasses before you drive again, and some soap for that mouth.”

“Thumbs up to my wife, what a wonderful girl, I’m so lucky to have you in my life. Happy 43rd birthday on June 15th! You’re so good honey!”

“Thumbs up to the GMS Chorus! The won the gold medal (second place) last week at the Great East Music Festival. It’s a shame that some people missed it because the festival directors decided to put them on earlier...but you should still be proud of their efforts! Nice job kids!

“Thumbs down, way down to the bartender at the pizza establishment in Litchfield. How dare you ask the group of customers who the heck we thought we were ordering a pizza by phone and then eating it in the bar. We were running late and knew the kitchen would be closing so we called it in. Who do we think we are?...customers with money to spend. The very nice pizza chef who made the pizza for us told us ‘of course you can eat it in the bar...I will bring it down when it is ready.’ This is not the first time you have been rude to us. You don’t have to worry...the 5-8 of us that usually come there with money to spend are taking our pizza money elsewhere. The new bartender across the street at the new restaurant loves our money and isn’t rude like you are. The food there is also excellent! Later dude.”

Shirley A. (Blake) Fennell

Shirley A. (Blake) Fennell, 77, of Nashua, died June 4, 2009, at Parkland Medical Center in Derry surrounded by loving family.

Shirley was born on April 5, 1932, in Exeter, ME, daughter of the late Dana and Beatrice ( McCotter) Shepard.

Shirley enjoyed doing crosswords and needlework. Flowers and animals were among her loves. She always had a kind heart and enjoyed helping others. She never complained and her sense of humor was always present even throughout her illness. Most of all Shirley enjoyed spending time with her family and friends. She was loved and will be missed by every heart she ever touched.

Shirley is survived by a son, Brian Priest and his wife Debra of Litchfield; two daughters, Sharon Jamison and her husband Bob of Sumter, SC, and Catherine Hill of Fredericksburg, VA; two brothers, Donald Blake of Spring Hill, FL, and Carroll Blake and his wife Terry of Concord; three grandchildren, Brittany Hill of Fredericksburg, VA, Brian Jamison of Atlanta, GA and Kimberly Tomberlin of Valdosta, GA; two great-grandchildren, Madison Tomberlin and Hunter Tomberlin, both of Valdosta, GA; as well as numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins.

Visiting hours were held on June 10 in the Dumont-Sullivan Funeral Home in Hudson. The family has requested that donations be made to Home Health & Hospice Care, 22 Prospect Street, Nashua, NH 03060. To send an online message of condolence, please visit www.dumontsullivan.com.

In Loving Memory ofAdam Daniel Dubowik

Fifth Year Anniversary June 15

Our lives go on without youBut things are not the same.

It’s hard to hide the heartacheWhen someone speaks your name.

We never knew that morningThe sorrow that day would bring

When a loving heart stopped beatingAnd we couldn’t do a thing.The parting was so sudden

We often wonder whyAnd the saddest thing of all

We never said goodbye.So we try and hide our heartache

As you would want us toAnd when we shed a tearNo one knows but you.

You are in our hearts forever.

Love Mom, Dad, Danielle, Audrey,Jake, Ben, and Brian

Relatives and friends are invited to attendMemorial Mass at St. Kathryn Church, Dracut Road, Hudson

go up before they need to,” answered Jasper, explaining that the current fund balance is in good shape. Malizia added, “At the rate we’re going, with the reserves we’re building up, the surplus that we’ve got, and the control of the expenses, I’m not seeing a rate increase.” Malizia further stated that any potential rate increase would likely be related to a capital improvement project and would therefore require voter approval.

On a separate subject, Coutu brought to light a question on the minds of many regarding when the current water ban would be lifted. “Most people don’t water their lawns in the wintertime,” he joked. A motion then passed unanimously, 5-0, to narrow the current water ban each year from June 1 through August 31.

In one of the fi nal topics addressed that evening, Maddox pointed out that some

portions of the collection and shut off policies are ambiguous and should be clarifi ed.

In closing, Coutu thanked members of both committees for their time and efforts, especially since they are not paid for their work. He then stated that this workshop posed much food for thought on several issues but that the overall outlook is positive.

“I think this has been a very healthy discussion. We just want the citizens to know things are under control and we are going in the right direction,” he concluded.

18 - June 12, 2009

by Sue LaRocheThe Alvirne girls’ softball team pulled off a

dramatic upset of the number one seeded team, Spaulding on Saturday June 6, to make their way into the semifi nals of the Class L tournament. In the fi rst round, they defeated a tough Merrimack squad on Wednesday June 3 by the score of 2-0, making this the second time this year they defeated Merrimack (3-2 in the second game of the season).

Freshman pitching sensation Taylor Carbone threw her second shutout in a row, with 12 strikeouts to put her over the 200 mark for the season. Carbone now sports a 0.54 ERA and is also leading the team with a .357 batting average. The Broncos scored in the fi rst inning when Carbone tripled and came home on a wild pitch. They added an insurance run in the second inning when Kaela Craven reached base on an error, was sacrifi ced to second by Ashley Metivier and eventually scored on a rarely called catchers obstruction.It was all the offense the Broncos would need however as the stellar defense of Craven in right fi eld and Nicole Abreu behind the plate bolstered Alvirne to the win. Notching hits for the Broncos were Kayla Duval, Carbone, Delaney Burns and Metivier.

The victory over Merrimack placed the number 8 seed Alvirne in the quarterfi nals with the tall task of facing number one seed Spaulding. The Broncos came with their game faces on however and pulled off the upset of the tournament to this point as they defeated Spaulding 1-0 on their home turf. Usually, the quarterfi nal round is played on Concord’s Memorial Field however, this year the format changed and the higher seed hosted the quarterfi nal games. Defense and solid pitching again were the keys for Alvirne as Carbone fi red her third shutout in a row and received solid defense from her teammates.

The fi fth inning saw the only run of the game scored when Katie Donovan singled with one out, was sacrifi ced to second by Diana Gustowski and took third on an errant throw. Kayla Duval singled on the fi rst pitch to drive Donovan in for the lone tally. Carbone was fi ring a no-hitter until the fi fth inning and solid defense from Katie Donovan ended a Spaulding rally in both the fi fth and sixth innings. Donovan made a diving stab to strand a runner on second base in the fi fth and made a leaping grab of a line drive stranding the tying runner on third to end the contest.

The Broncos are to face number four seed Dover who they lost to earlier in the season by the score

of 4-0, but the results were not available at press time. The fi nals of the tournament will be held on Saturday June 13 at 5 p.m. at Memorial Field in Concord NH.

Team Effort Advances Broncos to Semifi nals

by Sue LaRocheNumber fi ve seed Alvirne, fi nds itself playing in the Semifi nals of

the Class L baseball tournament after they defeated both Exeter and Concord to advance in the tournament. The Broncos were slated to play number one Trinity at Gill Stadium but results were unknown at press time. The fi nals of the Class L baseball tournament will be held on Saturday June 13 at 7 p.m. at Merchantsauto.com Stadium in Manchester, NH.

On Thursday June 4, the Broncos, hosted and defeated Exeter 5-3. They would score all of their runs in the fi rst two innings with three in the fi rst and two in the second including a homerun by Adam Hagman. Hagman had a good day at the plate going two for three with 2 RBI’s and came on in relief of Korey LeLievre who picked up the victory, in the sixth inning. With runners on second and third and no outs, Hagman made eight pitches and managed to get the Blue Hawks to pop out, strike out and ground out to get out of the jam. Matt Topper had a good day at the dish as he had three hits, scored two runs and picked up his 20th stolen base of the year when he stole two bases. Alex Jones also had a hit for the Broncos who with this victory, moved onto the quarterfi nals to face Concord.

When Nashua South was ousted from the tournament earlier in the week, this put the Broncos in the position of hosting the quarterfi nal matchup against Concord on Saturday June 6. The

Broncos had the offensive machine well oiled as they had an easy 12-2 victory in the fi ve inning mercy rule shortened game. Mitch Brun swung a big bat for the Broncos as he picked up three hits on the day including a three run homerun. Derek Bratton had 2 hits and 2 RBI’s, Kyle Brigham had an RBI triple, Matt Topper had one hit and 2 RBI’s, and Ryan MacDonald added one hit and 2 RBI’s. Travis Terrill got the victory pitching 4 1/3 innings and Adam Hagman came in and closed out the fi fth sealing the victory.
