The Litcheld Board of Selectmen, at
their January 6 meeting, cut the default
budget by $90,000. What this means is
that, should the voters not approve the
upcoming 2015 budget during the spring
elections, then the Town of Litcheld will
be hit with a 2 percent cut in operating
expenses from this years 2014 budget.
RSA 40-13, IX (b) states:
Default budget as used in this
subdivision means the amount of the
same appropriations as contained
in the operating budget authorized
for the previous year, reduced and
increased, as the case may be, by debt
service, contracts, and other obligations
previously incurred or mandated by law,
and reduced by one-time expenditures
contained in the operating budget. For
the purposes of this paragraph, one-time
expenditures shall be appropriations not
likely to recur in the succeeding budget,
as determined by the governing body,
unless the provisions of RSA 40:14-
b are adopted, of the local political
subdivision.
To paraphrase, a default budget may
be altered should a prior year expense be
a onetime event (such as buying a police
vehicle), a contract (such as the third
year of a contract that does not extend
further), debt service change (such as
the rate for the purchase of water) or
mandated by law.
The Litcheld Board of Selectmen
chose to go line by line as they viewed
the default budget and chose to make
default budget cuts to the tune of over
$90,000. Their review of the default
budget disregarded the proposed 2015
budget and cuts were made, at what
appeared, at will.
Most of Litchelds departments,
should the default budget be the adopted
budget, would face nancial cuts which
would result in an operating budget
below this years operating budget.
In speaking with Litchelds
Town Administrator, Jason Hoch, he
commented, This was a yearly analysis.
During the discussion, Litcheld
Selectmen wrestled with default budgets
in most departments. Administrative
postage amounts were challenged, gas
usage accounts were reviewed and
accounts involving publication expenses
were discussed.
For example, the Litcheld Board of
Selectmen challenged the current year
default budget amount for the planning
department budget of $100 in books.
They made an adjustment to the default
budget to this line to make the default
budget $16.
During the cutting process, at no
time was a reason given as to why the
proposed budget number had not been
adjusted to reect an appropriate dollar
amount.
The last part of the budget process
is the calculation of the default
budget, commented Litcheld Town
Administrator Jason Hoch. It is the
responsibility of the Selectmen to present
the correct default budget. It has been
the tradition of this board to do a line by
line analysis.
During the meeting, Hoch, responding
to a default budget cut stated, If the
number goes down, I am not entirely
sure your one time reductions meet
the one time test.
Selectman Frank Byron commented,
The law gives us the ability to give and
take.
The Town of Litcheld voters will soon
be casting their ballot to approve the
proposed 2015 budget for $5,130.166.
The default budget will be $5,006,611,
or, as a result of the Litcheld Board of
Selectmens actions, result in $90,000
less than the operating budget now in
effect.
The Board voted 3-1-0, with Byron
voting nay to the new default budget.

At Monday nights public hearing on the proposed
Hudson school budget, it was very clear that people
did not understand what is funded in a default budget.
Last March, when voters voted no on the proposed
operating budget, the default budget went into effect.
At the hearing, people spoke about not having funding
for programming in the schools as a result of this vote;
but that is not true because a default budget fully funds
a school districts budget, but does not allow any new
programs. It fully funds transportation, including late
bus service and cocurricular transportation, utilities, staff
salaries and benets, all special education programs, after
school cocurricular programs, existing spots programs and
every item needed for a sound academic program.
Superintendent Bryan Lane testied, at one point
that the default budget not only provided for $40 per
pupil for basic school supplies; but also provided for all
consumables, such as workbooks and supplies, for various
academic programs. An example would be fully funding
all supplies for science labs and science programming
offered in the school. The default budget was not the
enemy. Managing budget dollars and spending within
those developed budgets in one specialty area has been
the enemy and caused the tight money situation across
other areas in the district.
Parents thought that the school board discussed cutting
because the funding in the default budget was lower than
needed. However, with all programs funded to their
needed levels, those who understand default budgets
knew this was not the case. There has been signicant
nancial mismanagement and overspending of the special
education budget, which remember, was funded fully at
the level requested by Special Education Director Jeanne
Saunders.
Leaders in our school district developed last years
operating budget and default budgets. Principals are
responsible for working with their staff on funding and
then forwarding those needs to the superintendent for
compiling the nal budget that gets reviewed by the
school board and then by the budget committee before
going to the voters for examination. As part of this
development effort, Saunders was responsible for the
development and subsequent management of the special
education budget. Financially managing the special
education budget has been a disaster for the district, as
anyone who watches the televised school board meetings
already knows.
Although the default budget fully funded all educational
programs, Saunders had overspent her summer special
education programs by $100,000 before the school year
started in September. At this point the superintendent
should have taken steps to control the overspending in
this area; but did not and, as a result, it has continued
unrestrained by the frameworks of the requested budget.
If you watch the Hudson school district televised
meetings, you would have heard that by this time in the
scal year, Saunders has overspent so much that $680,000
had to be transferred out of other budgets to cover this
overspending. Remember, this shortfall is not due to the
default budget, as the special education budget developed
by Saunders was fully funded by the default budget.
As soon as Budget Committee Chairman Jon Maltz
opened the discussion of the operating budget, parents
went to the microphone to speak. Although most of them
started with a general bad statement about the effects of
the default budget, no parent spoke about impacts on
academic programming. One parent wanted to ensure
that the late bus would continue. An Alvirne junior
spoke to her desire for taxpayers to continue to fully fund
after school activities. One Hills Garrison parent said
she wanted taxpayers to fund pens and notebooks for
her child and further stated that she refused to buy these
items. One parent was concerned that if after school
activities were cut she would have to pay for private music
lessons for her child. Finally, an Alvirne student spoke
about academic programming and said that his science
lab could not be done because the teacher couldnt
purchase vinegar needed for the lab. Another Hills
parent said her child had never been asked to purchase
school supplies such as pens and notebooks while at
Hills Garrison. School Board Member Lee Lavoie said
he thought it was a parental responsibility to purchase
pens and notebooks for their children, but noted that the
schools default budget did fund student school supplies.
It was at this point that Lane claried that $40 per student
was funded in the default budget for individual school
supplies. He also said that he was purchasing supplies
and discounted that vinegar could not be purchased
for a science lab. He further explained that he had
just approved shuttlecocks for a badminton program
and could and would certainly approve supplies for all
academic programs.
Although Lane did say special education expenditures
had been high, he did not directly address the requests to
transfer $680,000 out of other programs and into special
education. He did say the district currently had a special
education trust fund to deal with unexpected student
issues such as a special education student who needed
expensive services moving into the district after the budget
was approved, but also stated that no money needed to be
taken from the trust fund for this type of issue.
For those who are unaware, the state also provides
catastrophic aid for special aid expenditures. This aid
reimburses a percentage of expenditures that qualify for

Glenn Givens and Dan Brian, cofounders of the
Manchester based board game company Games by Play
Date, could both be found promoting their new board game
and encouraging the community to get together and have
some fun this past Saturday at the Rodgers Library. This New
Hampshire based game design company may be on the
leading edge when it comes to the actual development of the
new age board game. This company makes both digital and
physical board games appealing to a wider range of gamers.
As a way for the company to get feedback, the public is
encouraged to communicate their ideas, concerns and
criticisms through their website, Twitter and Facebook. On
their website, the public has access to the design documents
for the games as well as podcasts of their team meetings
as a way to show their process and inspire entrepreneurs,
You dont have to be super smart or super wealthy to start
and create something on your own, said cofounder Glenn
Givens.
The young companys ambition and belief that together,
with the gaming community, they can create something more
amazing than any big toy company is inspiring and is what
gaming is all about! We feel that dialogue, quick revisions
and aggressive play testing will develop far better games
than any length of armchair designing can accomplish.
(gamesbyplaydate.com). In the next few months, Games by
Play Date will be introducing one or two new board games to
the market.
On January 11, with no television in sight, families and
friends could be seen enjoying a few laughs in good company
as they played new and old board games between the hours
of 12 and 4 p.m.

HFD Proposes Out-of-the-Box Thinking Cost
Savings with the Purchase of Squad Truck
by Doug Robinson
Hudson Fire Chief Robert
Buxton and the Town of
Hudson Board of Selectmen
reviewed the proposed
warrant article 13, involving
the purchase of a re squad
vehicle. The voters approved
the purchase of the squad
truck during the 2013
elections.
The proposed re squad
vehicle would replace the
current rescue vehicle and
would, as Board of Selectmen
Chairman Richard Maddox
refers, Transition Hudson to
a new type of re apparatus.
Of the $178,000 purchase price,
$160,000 has already been acquired in the re apparatus capital
reserve fund. The remaining $18,000 would be allocated from the
undesignated fund balance from 2012-2013.
According to Chief Buxton, the squad vehicle would help cut
operational costs; allow quicker response times; allow the larger
equipment to be used for larger calls; and afford HFD to deploy
their personnel more efciently.
The estimated purchase and operating costs for the proposed
squad vehicle represent an estimated savings of $218,000
compared to those costs associated with a traditional pumper.
Whereas an oil change for the pumper would cost the town
approximately $727, the squad vehicle would cost $200. When
comparing a brake job, the pumper would cost approximately
$1746 versus the squad
vehicles $200.
The squad vehicle has
the ability to be utilized
when responding to calls
for emergency medical
response, vehicle accident
assistance, brush res
and hazardous materials
incidents. In addition, the
squad vehicle can be used
to perform with technical
rescue, educational
activities and civic events.
Hudson Selectman
Ben Nadeau stated, The
purchase of a squad
vehicle has been one of
my priorities going back to 1993 when
I served on the budget committee. The squad vehicle will save
us money in the long run as the use of the vehicle will cut down
on the wear and tear of our front line big trucks. The truck has
the capacity to do a little bit of everything from carrying enough
water to put out a car re, to extricating a person from a vehicle.
The vehicle will carry medical supplies and will go out with an
ambulance, instead of us sending out the ladder truck or re
engine.
The selectmen asked the chief to return to a meeting in February
to further discuss the role and functionality of the squad vehicle,
as it would pertain to the proposed new deployment model under
current review.

Thank You Hudson -
You Are An Amazing Community
submitted by Stacey Forbes-Iwanicki
Thank you to all of the Hudson residents that
contributed gifts and/or donated to our elderly
residents this holiday season.
Thank you to Rodgers Memorial Library, Charlie
and the library staff, who graciously agreed to be
the main drop off for our drive.
I must extend my personal gratitude to the
person(s) that secretly decorated the bin between
one of my pickups. I was surprised to see that
the box had a design makeover. I am not sure
who the secret elf was but, they had taken the bin,
added their very own touch and kindly put it back
for all to enjoy. Thank you.
Thank you to Nottingham West Elementary
School students and staff, especially Mrs. Gloria
Eno, Mr. Peter Durso and Joyce for all of their
support. The Nottingham staff was very busy
spreading holiday cheer loud and clear with
their message that any act of kindness, no matter
how small, can make all the difference in the
world, especially to those that may be alone
during the holidays. This serves as a reminder to
all of us, to give selessly and from the heart. The Nottingham
students/children made holiday cards that were precious. I was
pleasantly surprised to see the many cards piled high and ready to
be distributed to the residents. There was pure magic in each card.
Thank you Hudson for
making the holidays special
for the residents at Fairview
Nursing and Rehabilitation
Center in Hudson. It has been
a success each and every year
because of your generosity.
Every donation was incredibly
thoughtful and helped make
the holidays full of cheer
for those who may not have
had visitors or family to share the holidays with. Thank you for
remembering our seniors this holiday season. The many gifts
were wrapped and donated right in time for the holidays. Happy
New Year!

Time for Fuel Dealers
to Use Metric System
Tis would be an excellent time for fuel dealers to switch to the metric
system.
Te U.S. Constitution, Article I, section 8 empowers Congress to fx the
standard of weights and measures, and an Act of Congress (U.S. Code, Title
15 Section 204) makes it lawful to use the metric system.
Ofer fuel oil for 95 cents per liter. A 400-liter delivery would cost $380.
Tell customers to ask the competitors what is their price per liter.
Customers who refuse to understand the metric system, and who are
trying to prevent the rest of us from enjoying its benefts, do not have to buy
any heating oil from you.

280,000 Brits have Died Since
2003 due to Climate Change
Te culprit? Climate change legislation. Tere is a revolt going on in
Europe, led by UK and Germany. Te UK Ofce of National Statistics
(www.statistics.gov.uk) in a report dated November 26, 2013 titled Excess
Winter Mortality in England and Wales states that in the winter of 2012,
31,000 UK residents died due to lack of heat. Te vast majority were over
75 and on fxed incomes. British Prime Minister David Cameron has
done a complete 180 in regards to Climate Change legislation. In 2010,
Cameron pledged, We will be the greenest government ever. In 2013, he
stated, Weve got to get rid of this green crap. Why? Because the Climate
Change Act that was enacted to diversify electricity production by forcing
investment in solar, wind and renewables has had the efect of driving
electricity prices up signifcantly. Who pays the price for liberal climate
change policy, the old and the poor? At what cost? Death.
Now Rep. Annie Kuster (Democrat) is touting her proposed legislation
for Renewable Electricity Standard Act of 2013. Forcing every state to
produce 25 percent of its electricity by 2025 from solar, wind and biomass.
Currently less than 3.5 percent of electricity generated in NH comes from
solar, wind or biomass. Even California, with all of its solar and wind power
only generates 15 percent from renewables today. Arent NH electricity rates
high enough? What will be the impact to NH electricity rates? Estimates
show such a change will increase average annual household rates by $4,000
by the year 2025.
How many NH seniors will have to die before Kuster does a 180 about
her legislation? I guess it doesnt matter if youre a NH Democrat, youll still
get their vote even if theyre dead.

Ice Cream Guy Can
Trow Whoopi Pies
A former owner of an ice cream company is waging a campaign
questioning the necessity of the Pentagons large scale weapons systems,
including the F-35 fghter bomber which has been plagued with problems to
be resolved.
We have a need for the development and implementation of strategic
weapons systems to counter the systems of Russia, China, North Korea and
Iran. Our large scale weapons systems have kept potential adversaries at bay
since World War II, and will continue to perform this vital function. Te
previously mentioned countries have extensive strategic weapons systems and
continue to improve them and develop new, more lethal weapons.
I agree with the ice cream guy that we have to assign resources to address
the threat of terrorism. In particular, Islamic terrorism is a major threat to
world peace as evidenced by the attacks in this country, Europe, Russia and
the Middle East.
If the former ice cream guy can guarantee the strategic weapons systems
of potential adversaries will melt away, maybe we can convert some of our
military manufacturing facilities to the production of ice cream whoopi pies
he can use as ammunition against our enemies.

Fred Fuller Oil & Propane Explains and
Apologizes for Inconveniences
We at Fred Fuller Oil & Propane Co., Inc. have proudly served the
heating needs in the State of New Hampshire for over two generations,
and we value the relationship we have built and maintain with our great
customers, with the service and competitive pricing we have always ofered
through the years. Recently, due to a combination of extreme weather
conditions, a huge uptake in oil and propane demand, and an overload and
temporary crash of our company wide phone system, we have fallen behind
on deliveries. We apologize to our customers who have been afected.
Tis is the frst such crisis we have experienced in our 45 year history,
and we have called this unfortunate combination of weather, demand and
technology the perfect storm. We are taking all steps necessary to catch up
on deliveries and maintain the standard of service and customer relations we
have always proudly held. We have added personnel, added hours, added
equipment and have been working with our phone service suppliers to
rectify the situation, which has now been fxed as of late this afternoon [Jan.
8], after having been down for close to six days. We will continue to do all
we can.
Because we had experienced some problems with our telephone system,
with the Governors Ofce, the Attorney Generals Ofce and the Division
of Homeland Security & Emergency Management, a special hotline has
been established at 227-0002, for our customers that might have run out of
oil. Tis hotline will stay in place at least into Tursday, January 9 while we
continue to catch up. Additionally we have worked with Homeland Security
to provide a back-up cell phone coverage plan for our ofce staf, which will
be put into place should our land lines crash again.
We are now at the point where we have turned the corner and expect to
be fully back to normal by Friday, January 10. We greatly appreciate the
input and outreach and help provided by Governor Hassan and her ofce,
by Attorney General Foster and his, and by Homeland Securitys Director
Plummer and his, in providing invaluable backup to assist us in completing
delivery to our customers.
Once again, we apologize to those who may have been inconvenienced,
and we thank them for their patience and we understand the frustration
some may have experienced. We thank our loyal customers throughout the
state for their continuing support and patronage, and we look forward to
continuing as the largest private and family owned heating supplier in the
state, and look forward to continuing to provide the competitive pricing and
service our customers have always expected of us, despite the recent setbacks.

My Grandfather and Climate Change
My grandfather advised me (in the 1950s) to believe none of what I hear,
and only half of what I read. Te part about hearing is especially true today,
now that we have talk radio. How about what I read? It took me 40 years
to notice the joke: How do I know which half to believe? I guess I cant
believe what I read either.
Luckily, some journalist and scientists are paid to write the truth as
best they can. But we must make some efort to fnd that half. We can
ask what does the writer know? What are his motives? Is he a salesman
or a politician? Is he a talk show host or tabloid writer that makes money
by saying the most outrageous things he can invent? Is he a kid that just
wants to see how far his fake rumor can go on line? How do they earn their
money? Is he paid by a political group to promote propaganda, or is he paid
to write the truth? Look at the content. Does it have data, or just opinion?
Does the data represent all the data, or just what happens to match the
writers agenda. Is the data relevant or just a smoke screen? Fortunately, we
can now go on line and check out the data, the sources and the writer. Start
with Google, Wikipedia, Politifact, Factcheck, or Snopes.
Take for instance, a recent Hudson~ Litchfeld News letter about global
warming by J. DAleo. He has lots of data, but some are not relevant. He
shows data for our neighborhood around the Atlantic Ocean. Tat is not
data for the whole planet. As he says, Arctic summer ice coverage is way
larger than last year, but it is far below average, and the trend is clearly
down. See http://nsidc.org/arcticseaicenews/ for all the ice data. Goggle
global temperature data and you will fnd lots more data. See for yourself.
Since so much information on climate change can easily be found on line,
Ill focus on DAleos last paragraph. He gives a quote by Ottmar Edenhofer
of the IPCC that makes it look like the IPCCs objective is global wealth
redistribution, and that climate change is a good excuse to justify it. Go
on line. You will fnd that DAleo just repeats a MRC NewsBusters site.
MRC is not an unbiased writer. And where did MRC get the quote? It
came from a German article that was translated by a British climate denier
with dodgy fnancial backing. Te original German can be found on line,
and the translation is pretty good. But the meaning has been twisted by
the parties listed above. My overview of Edenhofers views, after reading
more about him on Google and Wikipedia follows: Te science of global
warming is sound and not controversial among scientists whose job it is
to estimate the truth. By adversely afecting the whole planet, the rich
countries have already confscated some of the wealth of the poorer nations.
And if some people must leave oil and coal in the ground, or get taxed to
cause CO2 reduction, then that also is a transfer of wealth. Tis is defacto
wealth redistribution. So the problem goes far beyond the science of global
warming. Te issue is not just the environment. It becomes an economic
and political problem. Tis interpretation is far diferent from the spin by
Mr. DAleo.
In summary, after doing some checking, I fnd that the letter by DAleos
is in the half of what I read that I cannot believe.

Finding Solutions to Rising Flood Waters
submitted by Judy King, Alvirne High School
Pictured here are Alvirne High School
pre-engineering students who successfully
completed the National Guard Engineering
Design and Levee System Failure project.
Students worked in teams to design various
structures to protect a community threatened
by rising ood waters. The biggest challenge
according to Josue Lopez-Carrasco, Alvirne
High School student, was keeping the water
from getting into the town. Engineering plays
a crucial role. Without it, there would be no
levees.
Alvirne High School offers the national
project Lead the Way curriculum that centers on
problem solving skills by engaging students in
real world engineering problems.

Memorial Library, the same class by Sandy Pellerin, RYT
was offered to the students at Alvirne High School. Coach
Michael Lee opened his classroom 213 to the boys baseball
team, girls softball team, dancers and yoga enthusiast alike.
Gaining exibility was high on the list followed by balance,
stability strength and an overall sense of well-being. As you
can see, smiles are all around as the students return from their
relaxation pose given at the end of class.
Evelyn Susko, Captain of the girls softball team, along with
Anthony were all smiles after a great class.
Derek and Greg (featured third and
fourth) were happy to help carry the
mats and supplies back to the car.
Tanks, guys.
Wall-to-wall students. Matthew was lucky enough to get the teachers mat
(centered above), Dominic to the left along with others
without a mat were extremely adaptable.

Only the Voter Can Stop the HFD Bleeding
by Doug Robinson
Since 2010, the Hudson Fire Department has had 29 members
retire, quit or transfer to another re department. The number one
reason for them leaving is money.
Of the 35 contract employees at HFD today, eight reghters
qualify for retirement and three others are actively looking to leave
the department for higher wages elsewhere. These two numbers
represent one-third of the entire department staff. HFD is bleeding.
A reghter can walk one half mile and walk into the Nashua Fire
Department and earn $10,000 more in wages. Amanda Cormier,
HFD dispatcher did it.
A reghter can drive the 8.6 miles to the Merrimack Fire Station
and earn $10,000 more. Lenwood Brown, Fireghter EMT-I, did it.
The 2013 Fireghter EMT-Is starting rate is $14.58 per hour.
That is the lowest amount paid compared to Bedford, Goffstown,
Hooksett, Londonderry, Merrimack, Pelham and Salem. Merrimack
has the highest starting rate at $19.17. That $4.59 difference
between Hudson and Merrimack comes to around $10,000 per year,
before overtime.
Should the proposed contract going before the voters be approved
next March, a reghter, after one years service in Nashua, would
earn $1,600 more than after having worked the three-year term of
the proposed new reghter 2015 contract.
The academic employee turnover in HFD has provided hiring
challenges to Fire Chief Rob Buxton as he attempts to hire qualied
talent for his team. He cannot hire qualied help.
Hudsons Town Administrator, Steve Malizia, stated, Hudson has
been unable to compete with other towns as a result of the low
wages.
As a result, HFD is presently staffed with only 10 EMT paramedics.
Of these 10, four are ofcers. Should a reghter choose to self-
educate and raise their level of education from EMT to paramedic,
then that reghter would have to spend $9,500 out of their own
pocket.
The HFD now has a budget line to send two reghters to
paramedic school per year. The problem here is that while they are
in school, they would not be able to work in their other professions
or work overtime shifts at the department.
Recently, the HFD attempted to hire paramedics. Of the 16
applicant interviewed, none were hired because they did not meet
the qualications of schooling or the qualications of life skills.
Our number one ambulance calls these days are cardiac,
commented Captain Dave Morin. Last week we had seven calls for
cardiac. While we have great EMT-Is, their level of professional care
is governed by law. An EMT-I is not allowed to administer narcotics.
Paramedics also receive 2,000 hours of additional training above
and beyond that which an EMT-I receives. In Hudson, the starting
rate for a paramedic is $14.78. In Londonderry, it is $19.12 just to
walk in the door.
We have found that the young kids who are applying are
applying here to only receive training and then leave for higher
wages after we train them. We have become the local training
center for other re departments, stated Chief Buxton.
The voters will be asked to vote on a new contract for the
reghters at the upcoming elections. The reghters have been
working without a contract for many years; this is the primary reason
why the delta between Hudson and her neighbors has developed.
If the Hudson taxpayer wishes to become a paramedic or EMT-I
and stop the HFD bleeding, then they will need to go to the voting
booth next spring and personally address this issue.
The actual cost will be 4 cents per $1,000 to the Hudson taxpayer
to afford the HFD raises. On the average home in Hudson, this
comes to $12.
Eighth Grader Seth Bonvouloir Wins Litchfeld Middle School Geography Bee
Moves one step closer to $50,000 College Scholarship
Winner Seth Bonvouloir and runner-up Trevor Gomes
submitted by Kathy Sidilau, Litcheld Middle School
Seth Bonvouloir, an eighth grade student at Litcheld Middle
School, won the school-level competition of the National
Geographic Bee on Wednesday, January 8 and a chance at a
$50,000 college scholarship. The school-level bee, at which
students answered oral questions on geography, was the rst round
in the schools 26th Annual National Geographic Bee. The bee is
sponsored by Google.
The following students participated in the school bee for the
fth grade: Tom MacDonald, Julia Nees and Gerard Perry. The
sixth grade participants were Matthew Dion, Andrew Fay and
Jared Pedersen. Seventh grade was represented by Chris Barillas,
Meghan Gibbons and Makenna Mathieu. Trevor Gomes, an eighth
grader competed with Seth in the nal championship round with
Trevor ending up as the school runner-up. The other eighth grade
contestant was Ben Gavrin. These students were up on stage in front
of the fth and sixth grade students as well as parents and friends.
They all should be extremely proud of their accomplishments.
Seth has taken a written test that has been sent off to the National
Geographic Society to be scored. The top 100 students from New
Hampshire will participate in the state bee at Keene State College in
April.
Jeopardy host Alex Trebek will then moderate the national
competition May 19-21, in Washington, DC. The program will air
on television. Everyone can test their geography knowledge with
the new and exciting GeoBee Challenge, an online geography quiz
at www.nationalgeographic.com/geobee, which poses ten new
questions a day. You can also download the National Geographic
GeoBee Challenge app, with more than 1,000 questions culled
from past bees, from the App Store on iPhone, iPod touch and iPad;
from the Android Market; or for Nook Color.
The staff and students of Litcheld Middle School congratulate all
the participants and wish Seth luck with the next step of the process.

Our rst free introductory Yoga for Teens class was held in early
January at the Rodgers Memorial Library in the community room.
The classes are funded by the library and friends of the library and
taught by Sandy Pellerin, Registered Kripalu Yoga in the Schools
Teacher.
Upon entering the room, the students noticed the beautifully laid
out yoga mats and props just waiting for them with relaxing music
in the background. Various emotions ll the room, from smiling and
giggling to a natural nervousness as each student seemed ready and
open to experience something new.
High on the list of benets the students hoped to gain from taking
yoga classes was to be calm, more relaxed and less stressed. Along
with relieving anxiety and becoming more exible the students
hoped to learn how to better regulate their breathing.
In the beginning, the students gained better focus and memory
during their student interviews and partner introductions. The
entertaining hula-hoop game offered them an opportunity to be
involved in mutual assistance with working toward
a common goal. Of course, all laughed and had
fun while awkwardly weaving the hula-hoop
through their bodies!
Class starts with centering, a silent check-in,
where students are guided to tune in and become
mindful of any particular physical, mental and/
or emotional sensations that are present at that
particular moment, without judging or trying to
change what comes up for them.
Next, they learned the benets of different
breathing techniques. Letting-go breaths help
to release strong emotions and anxiety. Nose
breathing slows the breath rate and has a relaxing
effect, while belly breathing improves respiratory
efciency and massages the internal organs such
as the stomach, intestines, liver and heart to
improve overall function.
The standing joint warm-ups, which were fun
in themselves, are not only performed to keep
the joints lubricated for safety but are also an
opportunity to emphasize the noncompetitive
nature of yoga. Students were able to explore and
learn how to accept their bodies as they are, since
we all look and move differently.
For our rst class, we focused on the
fundamentals of half sun salutation. This yoga
pose is an excellent way to warm up the body. It
bends the spine both forward and backward, opens
up the hips and hamstrings, stimulates circulation
and establishes a deep breath. Students were able
to get a feel for the dynamic sensations created in
the body. This allowed them to experience what
it feels like to lengthen the spine from the top of the head (the
crown) to the base of the spine (the tailbone).
Finally, relaxation pose was by far, the favorite part. Here we
practice the breathing techniques we learned earlier and bring focus
to all the different parts of the body, scanning for muscular tension
and releasing any tightness to the oor and out of the body leaving
us feeling lighter and free from stress.
At the end of class, everyone comes up to a seated position for
a conscious closing and the students take a moment for another
silent check-in. However, they are guided to become aware of this
new moment, perhaps noticing the difference from when they rst
checked-in, taking an inner inventory of before and after and
accepting whatever arises.
The students were extremely cooperative during the whole
session. Here are some of the comments they had after class.
Wow, I feel great!, I feel so calm ..., I feel relaxed and that was
so fun! They were thankful and are looking forward to our next
class.
Our next free introductory class will be held February 4 at 3:30
p.m. in the Rodgers Memorial Librarys community room. Register
online with the Librarys EventKeeper or call Danny Arsenault, Head
of the Teen Department at 816-4511 for more information.
EPA Fines
Presstek, Make
Hazardous
Waste
Operations Safer
for Community
submitted by U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency, New England Regional Ofce
A manufacturer of printing equipment
in Hudson has agreed to pay a penalty of
$116,000 to resolve claims by the United States
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that it
violated hazardous waste laws.
In an agreement signed recently with the EPAs
New England ofce, Presstek, Inc. agreed to pay
the penalty and to comply with the Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA).
Last September, the EPA led a complaint
against Presstek alleging violations of hazardous
waste management laws. Its violations included:
failure to comply with applicable hazardous waste
air emission regulations; failure to implement
an adequate hazardous waste personnel training
program; and failure to maintain an adequate
hazardous waste contingency plan.
Hazardous waste regulations under the RCRA
are designed to ensure that operating facilities
manage hazardous wastes in an environmentally
sound manner from cradle to grave in order to
prevent releases that could pose risks to human
health and the environment. Manufacturing
facilities often generate hazardous wastes during
production operations; those wastes must be
properly managed and disposed of. As part of its
operations, Presstek generates hazardous wastes
that include solvent-containing wastes, which are
ignitable and corrosive wastes.
Since the EPAs discovery of the alleged
violations, Presstek has revised its hazardous
waste contingency plan and personnel training
program to comply with regulations resulting in a
reduced likelihood of impact on the community
in the event of an emergency, such as a re,
explosion or release. Presstek has also developed
and is implementing a program to monitor and
control air emissions from hazardous waste
operations at the facility, which also reduces
potential risk for the community.

Hudson Budget Committee held the required
public hearing on the Town budget this past
Monday. Selectmen have become very sensitive to
how large the school district budget is compared
to the town budget and those who attended last
years town deliberative session saw charts posted
on the wall showing the differences. This year
selectmen have taken the process one step farther.
They propose to divide the operating budget into
four unique entities with each entity having its
own checkbook and its own budget. This results in
a much smaller operating budget than voters have
seen in the past.
There were some procedural questions asked
during the process and although selectmen insist
that they have all bases covered, they were urged
to contact DRA to ensure that a failed warrant
article did not have unintended consequences on
their ability to manage the budget pieces.
Budget Chairman Jon Maltz read each warrant
article in its entirety and then turned the oor over
to questions. No explanation was given of new
items in the budgets, nor of the budget committees
positions. It was an evening of little information
being made available, which was disappointing.
Warrant Article A had both the operating budget
and the default budget for the towns operating
expenses. You have to dig through the rest of the
warrants to determine what was changed. The
proposed operating budget is $23,822,777 and if
it passes, the tax impact for just this warrant article
will be $6.44 per thousand. The default budget
amount is $23,329,646.
Warrant Article J proposes to move the cable
franchise fee into a revolving account for the cable
department. The benet of revolving accounts is
that at the end of the scal year, monies in these
accounts stay in the accounts and are not returned
to offset next years tax rate. The sole purpose
of the franchise fee is to fund public access
television. When former Selectman Shawn Jasper
asked if the monies for this were currently found
in warrant article one, the operating budget, he
was told yes and was further told that the monies
would be transferred if the warrant article passed.
Jasper suggested the need to have a start date
for this fund clearly stated in the warrant article.
While there is no tax impact, neither was there
information about how much the franchise fee is.
Warrant Article G will move the sewer fund
entirely out of the operating budget. Since this
fund is self-funded by users of Hudsons sewer,
Selectman Ted Luszey said this would provide
clear accounting and understanding of how
the sewer is funded. This account will have a
separate checking account and will have both an
operating budget and a default budget. For the
coming election, the proposed operating budget is
$1,665,684 and the default budget is $1,649,375.
Because this fund is self-funded, there is no tax
impact.
Warrant Article H moves the water fund out
of the operating budget. The proposed budget is
$3,871,757 and the default is $4,800,846. This
fund is also self-funding so there would be no tax
impact.
There are seven warrant articles dealing with
raises for town employees. Of those seven, ve
are for union contracts, which will be discussed in
a later article. Of the other two, Warrant Article
B proposes a 2.75 percent raise for the town clerk
/ tax collector and Warrant Article C proposes a
2.75 percent increase for non-union personnel.
Warrant Article I would establish a revolving
fund for senior citizen activities. These activities
are paid for entirely by participants with no tax
dollars involved. By setting up a revolving fund,
monies will not be used to offset the tax rate at the
end of the year. This allows seniors to pay for their
activities and trips and be ensured that their money
will be used for the activity for which it is paid.
Warrant Article D would establish a capital
reserve fund for major repairs for town buildings
and transfer $1 to the fund, which would open
it. Selectman Roger Coutu said selectmen are
considering selling some town owned land, and if
they do, the money would be deposited here and
then used to fund repairs.
A second capital reserve fund is proposed for
recreation equipment. Selectman Ted Luszey
said $5,000 would be placed in this account.
When asked why the town did not also establish
a revolving fund for recreation, Coutu said it was
discussed and voted down 2 -3.
A third capital reserve fund is found in Warrant
Article K, which proposed establishing a fund for
recreation eld construction. This year only $1
would be placed in the fund. No one spoke to
expected funding in future years.
Town Public Hearing on Proposed Budget Generates Questions
submitted by the United States Senate Youth Program
Senators Jeanne Shaheen and Kelly Ayotte have announced the
names of the two New Hampshire students who have been selected
as delegates to the 52nd annual United States Senate Youth Program
(USSYP) that will be held March 8-15, in Washington, DC. Leah
Stagnone of Litcheld was chosen from across the state to be part
of the group of 104 student delegates who will attend the programs
52nd annual Washington Week.
The USSYP was created by Senate Resolution 324 in 1962
and has been sponsored by the Senate and fully funded by The
Hearst Foundations since inception. Originally proposed by
Senators Kuchel, Manseld, Dirksen and Humphrey, the impetus
for the program as stated in Senate testimony was to increase
young Americans understanding of the interrelationships of the
three branches of government, the caliber and responsibilities of
federally elected and appointed ofcials, and the vital importance
of democratic decision making not only for America but for people
around the world.
Each year this extremely competitive merit based program brings
104 of the most outstanding high school students - two from each
state, the District of Columbia and the Department of Defense
Education Activity to Washington, D.C. for an intensive week-long
study of the federal government and the people who lead it. The
overall mission of the program is to help instill within each class of
USSYP student delegates more profound knowledge of the American
political process and a lifelong commitment to public service. In
addition to the program week, The Hearst Foundations provide
each of the 104 student delegates with a $5,000 undergraduate
college scholarship with encouragement to continue coursework
in government, history and public affairs. Transportation and all
expenses for Washington Week are also provided by The Hearst
Foundations, as stipulated in S.Res.324; no government funds are
utilized.
Leah Stagnone attends Campbell High School and serves on the
student council and is also a school board representative. She has
served on the student council for four years and Leah embraces
the schools core values of Responsibility, Respect, Courage
and Character. She has been successful in bringing change and
overcoming resistance with inuential leadership. She is a dedicated
student who excels academically and athletically. She would like to
attend Dartmouth or Georgetown and study international relations.
The chief educational ofcer in each state selects the delegates
after nomination by teachers and principals. This years delegates
were designated by Dr. Virginia M. Barry, Commissioner of
Education.
While in Washington the student delegates will attend meetings
and briengs with Senators and Congressional staff, the President,
a Justice of the Supreme Court, leaders of cabinet agencies,
an Ambassador to the United States and top members of the
national media. The students will also tour many of the national
monuments and several museums. They will stay
at the historic Mayower Hotel in downtown
Washington, D.C.
Members of the USSYP 2014 52nd annual
Senate Advisory Committee are:
Co-Chairs: Senator Jon Tester of Montana
and Senator Bob Corker of Tennessee; Advisory
Committee: Senator Richard Blumenthal of
Connecticut, Senator Joe Manchin III of West
Virginia, Senator Patty Murray of Washington,
Senator Tom Udall of New Mexico, Senator Kelly Ayotte of New
Hampshire, Senator John Hoeven of North Dakota, Senator Richard
Shelby of Alabama and Senator David Vitter of Louisiana. Each year,
the Honorary Co-Chairs of the program are the Vice President of the
United States and the Senate Majority and Minority Leaders.
Litchfelds Leah Stagnone Selected for Senate Youth Program
Students Headed to Washington, D.C. to Receive $5,000 Scholarship
cat aid. Lane did not say if any of the $680,000 over
expenditure would qualify for cat aid.
Lane also did not discuss steps that had been
implemented to ensure that the special education director
would begin to live within the parameters of budgets that
she develops.
Other questions surrounded requirements of the
Municipal Budget Act, which is the form of government that
residents of Hudson have voted to implement.
Warrant article one, the operating budget, will be on
the ballot in the amount of $48,044,494 which reects
an increase of $778,714. However, no one spoke to
what items were in the increase. In fact, much less
information on requested expenditures was presented by
this administration and budget committee. If passed, the
tax impact for just this warrant article would be $13.68 per
thousand (overall impact further down in the article). The
default budget would be $47,265,780 and this proposed
default budget just like this years default budget fully
funds all programming, transportation, sports, after school
cocurricular, salaries and benets.
There are ve warrant articles asking voters to vote yes on
ve new union contracts. There was discussion about the
way that data was presented. Maltz said that each contract
required salary, increases but also provided for employees
to pay an additional percentage of their health care.
Warrant article seven asks voters to vote to place another
$50,000 into the special education trust fund, but Shawn
Jasper questioned if this was viable given the current state
of the budget. There was no response from the school
district on this.
The last warrant article asks permission to withdraw
$300,000 from a trust fund in order to install an ADA
compliant elevator in Alvirne and replace the woefully
inadequate elevator currently in service. Because these
dollars have already been saved from previous budgets,
there will be no additional tax impact on the tax rate for
this warrant article.
However, there is a signicant increase in tax dollars
needed from taxpayers. Overall, Lane said the school
budget, if everything passed, would amount to an increase
of $22.50 per thousand assessed. At that rate, a home
valued at $300,000 would pay $6,750 in annual taxes.
The deliberative session is Saturday, February 1, at 9 a.m.
in the Community Center. Hopefully, more
detailed information will be available.
Hudson Default Budget- continued from front page
by Cheryl Freed
The Board of Selectmen has combined the recycling and energy
committees into a new committee named the recycling/energy
committee. The new committee will continue to promote recycling
and energy education. The committee members are very excited
about the opportunities that are available to help improve the
town by reducing trash and energy costs as well as continuing the
roadside cleanup effort in the spring (date to be announced).
On that note, single stream recycling has been in effect for almost
a year and a half and the recycling/energy committee has noticed a
disturbing downward trend in the amount of recycling being done in
town. FY2013 (when single stream began) showed an amazing effort
of recycling within the community with several months exceeding
our goal of 30 percent. The average percentage for the year ended
up being 30.29 percent. A great effort by everyone and one that we
anticipated would continue.
FY2014 began in July 2013 with a rate of 30.39 percent, but
each month since has been below 30 percent. As of the end of
November, the average monthly recycling is 27.84 percent. If this
trend continues we will be recycling at least 10 percent less this year
than last. The committee is trying to nd out why this is happening.
What has happened to convince people to throw things in their trash
barrel instead of the recycle barrel? If you have any insight as to the
reason why this is happening, please contact a committee member
or our Selectman Liaison, Ben Nadeau.

Budget Information from
the Hudson School District
submitted by Bryan K. Lane, Superintendent of Schools,
Hudson School District
The next step in the budgetary process was a public hearing that
was held Monday, January 13 at 7 p.m. at the Hudson Community
Center. The purpose of the public hearing was to give taxpayers
the opportunity to ask questions regarding warrant articles that will
be presented at the deliberative session in February and eventually
voted on in March.
On Wednesday night, January 8, the budget committee did a nal
review of the warrant articles being presented by the Hudson School
District.
Warrant Article One is the operating budget. The original budget
presented to the school board in October was $49,088,571 which
represented a tax increase of $1.12. The school board felt that this
was not an appropriate tax increase to bring to the budget committee
and asked the administration to nd areas to reduce the budget.
Reductions of $588,483 were approved in the following areas:
Hills Garrison School salary and benets: budget reduction -
$18,458
SAU tech support: budget reduction - $17,410
Hills Garrison School, two laptops: budget reduction - $1,501
walkie-talkies: budget reduction - $1,545 (purchased this year)
district wide special education: budget reduction - $225,985
windows at H. O. Smith School: budget reduction - $48,995
Alvirne High School ROTC windows: budget reduction -
$13,300
ESOL reorganization: budget reduction - $146,355
RIF social studies teacher: budget reduction-$71,286
CTE trans. by activity bus: budget reduction - $21,660
decrease textbook replacement: budget reduction - $17,289
classroom computers: budget reduction - $ 4,700
The budget presented to the budget committee was in the amount
of $48,500,088. The district was able to recommend a reduction of
$449,559 primarily due to the cost of health benets. The budget
reected a 10 percent increase when we created the budget in
September. In November, our rate increase came in at 3.3 percent.
The reduction was accepted by the budget committee. The only
other area of reduction by the budget committee was in the utilities
section of the budget for the Hills Memorial Library. The budget
committee voted to eliminate funding for heat and electricity in the
amount of $6,053. The budget that was voted on and recommended
by the budget committee in a 9 to 1 vote is $48,044,494. This was
a total reduction of $1,044,077 from the original budget presented
to the school board. If approved by the voters, this would have a tax
impact of 70 cents, a tax increase on a home valued at $300,000 of
$210 in 2014-2015. This would equal a monthly cost of $17.50.
Warrant Article Two is the collective bargaining agreement
between the Hudson School Board and the Hudson Federation
Teachers. If approved, this two-year agreement would have a tax
impact of 13 cents, a tax increase on a home valued at $300,000
of $39 in 2014-2015. This would equal a monthly cost of $3.25.
Warrant Article Three is the collective bargaining agreement
between the Hudson School Board and the Hudson School
Administrators. If approved, this one-year agreement would
have a tax impact of 3 cents, a tax increase on a home valued at
$300,000 of $9 in 2014-2015. This would equal a monthly cost of
75 cents.
Warrant Article Four is the collective bargaining agreement
between the Hudson School Board and the part-time para-
educators and food service personnel. If approved, this two-year
agreement would have a tax impact of 2 cents, a tax increase on a
home valued at $300,000 of $6 in 2014-2015. This would equal a
monthly cost of 50 cents.
Warrant Article Five is the collective bargaining agreement
between the Hudson School Board and the Hudson School
Secretaries. If approved, this one-year agreement would have a tax
impact of 1 cent, a tax increase on a home valued at $300,000 of
$3 in 2014-2015. This would equal a monthly cost of 25 cents.
Warrant Article Six is the collective bargaining agreement
between the Hudson School Board and the Hudson Custodians,
Electricians and HVAC Technicians. If approved, this three year
agreement would have a tax increase on a home valued at
$300,000 of $3 in 2014-2015. This would equal a monthly cost of
25 cents.
Warrant Article Seven is a request to take any unexpended funds
at the end of this school year, up to $50,000, and put them into a
reserve fund that would help to offset unanticipated expenditures
in special education in the future. This would have no tax impact.
Warrant Article Eight is a request to take $300,000 from a
capital reserve fund that was established in 1999 to install a new
elevator at Alvirne High School to meet ADA regulations. There
is currently over $440,000 in the capital reserve fund. This would
have no tax impact.
If all warrant articles are passed, the increase to the taxpayer
with a home valued at $300,000 would be $270, $22.50 per
month.
The public hearing is an opportunity for voters to seek information
regarding any of these issues. It will be televised on the local cable
access channel. If you cannot attend, being well informed is helpful
when it comes time to vote in March.
If you have any question on any part of the budget or the warrant
articles please feel free to contact me at blane@sau81.org and I will
get back to you as soon as possible.
Editors Note: School Administrative Unit 81 passed out, via e-mail to parents, more budget information press releases.

Thumbs Up? Thumbs Down? Thumbs Up? Thumbs Down?
Thumbs up to the Moms and Dads of Hudson
and Litcheld Football players who are getting
their sons treatment for the brain injury suffered
during years of concussions while playing football.
Other parents if your son is now suffering
depression, violent behavior, in ability to focus, or
other similar symptoms, contact the Brain Injury
Association of New Hampshire before to get your
son the treatment he needs before its too late.
Thumbs up to Chris Pascucci and Jason
Gurette for having the courage to face the
Litcheld Board of Selectmen to say what we are
all thinking. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Thumbs up to the house
on Tate Street for putting up
Christmas lights around their
tree which had ve or six
bird houses on it. Thats the
Christmas spirit.
Thumbs up to St. Nicholas
for stopping by to visit the
First Baptist Church at their
Christmas Eve Service.
Thumbs down to the
person who always slams
Jason Guerette and now has
added Chris Pascucci - what
is your agenda? Jason and
Chris are watching out for our
kids and for our wallets while
you seem to be trying to
distract them from taking care
of us. Knock it off.
Thumbs down to the
constant thumbs column
beating of two men that have
the courage to speak for
members of this community.
Chris Pascucci and Jason
Guerette are not afraid of
the public bullying that
goes along with standing
up for what they believe
in. They know how ignored
the taxpayer is and they are
ghting to protect what little
we have left after government
at all levels has a gun to our
heads and a hand in our
pockets. The only bullying
going on at these public
meetings is the members of
these boards that continue to
not listen to the taxpayers and
spend our money as though
there is no end. Chris and
Jason, keep on speaking for
us. Thumbs way up to you
both.
Thumbs up to Guerrette
and Pascucci, many people
in town actually are very glad
they are speaking up. You are
the bullies that will not see
any other way than the wrong
path to improving education, lowering taxes, and
stopping a horrible curriculum called common
core. They have to be loud and intrusive;
otherwise, nothing will change ... I hope many
other people in town will write in their comments
regarding the continued issues with our school
system or attend meetings.
Thumbs down to the thumbs down last week
about the girls basketball coach. Perhaps you
should have a conversation with the coach and
an honest conversation with your daughter to see
why she isnt playing. Maybe youll nd out that
she isnt giving 100% at practice, goong around
too much, not paying attention, not learning the
plays and giving the coach attitude. Perhaps the
coach in question plays his so called favorites
because they are putting in the effort and work
at practice. Most competitive coaches want
results, they dont care who produces, as long as
someone is. Eighth grade athletes are old enough
to know that playing school ball is not rec or even
travel. Its not pay to play anymore, you dont
get a participation trophy; you earn your playing
time.
Thumbs down to Litcheld Adult Rec Leagues
or lack thereof. All surrounding towns have an
adult mens basketball league that dont require
any funds from the town. A league as such would
certainly provide an increase in volunteers for the
few events this town offers. While were at it, how
about a holiday parade or some reworks in the
summer?
Thumbs up to all of the volunteers planning
the Winterfest in Litcheld. I cant wait until Feb.
15th.
Thumbs down to Jason Guerrette. Please stop
saying you speak for me and others in town. You
rant like a 2 year old and I hope that some day
soon you will move out of Litcheld and WE will
have a better town.
Thumbs up to the town and school board for
increasing residents local school tax last year
without residents consent or what was voted
on, by almost 0.50 per thousand, HSB great
job in tricking residents to vote for a 0.46 per
thousand increase in previous years, BOS great
job in creating confusion as to the general fund
and operating budget this year, HSB great job
in providing substandard education and telling
residents its not your job to help keep children in
school. As always great job on being one of the
few towns in the country to have
22-45 million in each school
and town general fund budget in
addition to your 22-45 million
operating budgets.
Thumbs down to our HSB/
BOS asking for more money
every year. We have 22-45
million general fund dollars
sitting in each HSB and BOS
general fund waiting to be used
by our HSB and BOS as they see
t in addition to our operating
budget that covers all town and
school expenses. Left over tax
dollars are placed in this fund yearly it grows
every year. Nashua only has $1,500 in their
general fund and our budgets if you include our
general funds and operating budgets are almost
the same for our school and town. Hudson is 1/3
the size and our taxes should reect that not be
2% less.
Thumbs down to the guest editorial Rubber
Band has Broken. Hey Doug, how broken can
it be when there are 94 applicants for the jobs!
Seems these almost 100 people think the rate is
alright! No new taxes! We are sick of it, get the
message!
Thumbs down. Big thumbs down to the
person complaining about mail delivery. How
is it you are able to witness their laziness every
day? Looking out the window and not working?
Maybe if the Rent A Center truck wasnt blocking
the mail box, your welfare check would have
been delivered. We are on the hill, too, and our
mail service is rst rate.
Thumbs down, superintendent had a raise in
2012-2013 against voters of $30,039. Now he
earns $120,712 without benets. Other school
personnel gave themselves raises without being
voter approved. Our Local school district had a
51% increase in tax rate. Our town had a 36%
increase from 2012. total town/school 3.1%
increase to tax rate 0.61%. There is a HSB 6%
increase this year in Salary/Benets. Our town
gave raises last year without being voted on
as well. They had an increase in their budget
without being voted through. This year both are
asking for salary/benet increases of 2.5% 4%.
Think Nashua, and other towns get paid more.
Word is spreading what Hudson
has accomplished; other town
residents are taking notice cutting
the waste, tracking their town/
school spending. Educating their
residents on the power of the vote
and speaking up when Budgets
are unjust and wasteful. Vote this
March to change this town for the
better.
Thumbs up. A big thumbs up
and congratulations to Madysen
for getting into all of the colleges
you applied to. Your hard work
and determination have paid off.
We are both very proud of you.
Love, mom and dad.
Thumbs up. A big thumbs up,
a big thank you to the person who
found my pocketbook on Sullivan
Road and turned it in to the police
department, and a thank you to
the police ofcer who delivered it
to my home.
Thumbs up/Thumbs down.
Thank goodness for Chris
Pascuscci who is willing to give
so much of his time keeping track
of where our tax dollars go. He
seems like the only non-partial
one with any business sense
amongst those on the BOS and
school committee. Lets try to
convince him to continue to do
what he does and not listen to
the boo birds that obviously only
want one thing. To tax us all into
bankruptcy.
Thumbs up to the parent of
Friends of Litcheld Lacrosse for
giving up his Sunday nights to run
free lacrosse clinics for the boys
and girls of Campbell High School
at Talent Hall. My daughter has
gone the last two Sundays and
had a fun time while learning the
game.
Thumbs up to Mrs. Cullentkent
at GMS, my child was so nervous
about 4th grade, he is having the
most amazing year, thank you for
making his year so amazing!
Thumbs down to Campbell HS girls varsity
basketball coach. He needs to be taught what
honesty, integrity and character are. He lacks
all these qualities plus more. He needs to pay
attention to what is written on the gym walls of
his own school. He is denitely not a coach
nor leader. His team consists of more than one
specic individual! Start acting like a coach and
pay attention to all the girls on your team.
Thumbs up to Richard Kahns letter of 10 Jan.
You nailed it, some choice, Dem. vs. Dem. Lite.
Thumbs up. If you son
played football or hockey for
Alvirne or Campbell and now
has difculty concentrating,
nds it hard to focus on tasks,
is often sad, drinks too much,
or lashes out violently, he is
probably suffering from a brain
injury resulting from frequent
concussions and needs to
be checkout. Thumbs up to
Moms and Dads who help their
injured sons get the services
they need, its never too late!
Thumbs up to the Bergeon
Family for their kindness
and generosity to a group of
Litcheld teachers! It was
greatly appreciated!
Thumbs down to Jayson
and Chris acting like fools at
the meetings in Litcheld. Take your clown act to
another town.
Thumbs down. Thumbs way down to the
ignorant parent all dressed in black at the budget
committee hearing on Monday. You really did
embarrass yourself; you were giving out false
information. I think I speak for us all when I say
Im tired of hearing you talk! Yes you have the
right to voice your opinion but you could at least
do the research before you speak?
Thumbs down to the parent at Hills Garrison
School driving a small silver car. You dropped off
your kids in the middle of the parking lot while
we waiting in line like youre supposed to do. We
were responsible for making sure your child is
safe. Im giving your license plate to the school
resource ofcer.
Thumbs down to the town of Hudson and all
their money issues. Something drastic needs to
be done before we have really bad schools and a
police department that is all either guys that we
cant get rid of, or brand new ofcers. We need to
get a private ambulance service that doesnt cost
us anything unless we need it. It worked very well
for Nashua. Lets start saving money, and save our
town.
Thumbs down to the kid who stole my sons
basketball out of the street in front of our house.
You jumped out of the car, threw it in the trunk,
and drove off and went down Melba Drive. The
ball is too small for an older kid to use anyways,
please return it. Thank you.
Thumbs down. I want to say a big shame
on you, Carpet Creations on Lowell Road, for
allowing your dumpster trucks to come at 5 a.m.,
shaking the buildings behind you, not to mention
the hundreds of people you woke up. 7 a.m. is
the starting time. Please be aware, thank you.
Thumbs up to all the teachers,
paraprofessionals, administrators of the Hudson
School District! You all are awesome and if it was
up to me I think you all deserve a raise. How dare
anybody with children in the school system to
think otherwise.
Thumbs down to New Hampshire Colleges
and Universities! You promised not to increase
tuition and you didnt, instead you tripled
mandatory fees which amount to a comparable
tuition increase. In addition, New Hampshire
Colleges and Universities ramped up their Anti-
Male campaign. Moms and Dads, in New
England, especially in New Hampshire your son
has a huge target on his back for the crime of
being male. He loses all civil liberties when he
enters a campus and becomes guilty never to be
proven innocent. Seriously look at Southern and
Western Colleges, where the cost of a degree is
half of what it is in New England and your son
will have an equal opportunity of obtaining a
good education rather than becoming a poster
child for Social Justice.
Thumbs down to the Tea Party supporter who
thinks that 90% of us are members/supporters.
The actual number is 23% with a much larger
number of people who are against the Tea Party.
As far as Obama and liberals are concerned, a
poll that drilled down on the disapproval numbers
found that 1 in 5 disapprove because Obama has
been too conservative. If you take only those who
think hes been too liberal, that number is under
50 percent. Do you really think that those who
disapprove because Obama and the Democrats
have been too conservative are going to vote for
any GOteaParty candidate, whether they are of the
extreme right like the Tea Party or less extreme like
other Republicans? The Tea Party is an extreme
right wing movement that wont fool the electorate
much longer.
Thumbs up to another honest mother who
found my daughters purse amongst her daughters
toys after she accidentally picked it up at Pizza
Hut on Friday evening. She called to make
arrangements for me to collect it and my daughter
was thrilled that she didnt have to go through the
process of canceling everything. Gives us hope
for the world when we can see and appreciate the
good in people.

A Special Treat
for Hudson Seniors
If you would like to submit a recipe or a comment for our article contact
Lori Bowen at lbowen@hudsonnh.gov or stop by and see her at the
Community Center Tuesdays through Thursdays.
by Lori A. Bowen, Hudson Senior Services Coordinator
Another fun week has been happening at the seniors! We had a great big group
for coffee club this week! Welcome to our new attendees. We are so glad you took
the time to stop by and say hello!
Things are moving along very quickly at the new building! The dry wall is up,
taped and mudded. The electrician is nishing his work, and the painters are on
site! I was able to see the color board, which is a board that shows all the colors
and products that are going to be used in the building. The hallway is a lovely green
color, nice and soothing. The main rooms are a nice tan with an accent wall of a
nice brick orange color. The other spaces are a darker version of the tan. There
is great natural light that ows through the space; we are going to have to wear
sunglasses inside! There are going to be no thresholds in the buildings and no steps
to contend with. The parking lot has a rst coat on it and will receive its second coat
when it gets warmer. The lines will be painted after that to mark the spaces. The best
news of the week is that the siding crew is here and soon the color will make its way
up to the top level and you will be able to see it. It is a perfect New England red,
white trim on the windows and black accents.
Dont forget Monday is Martin Luther King Day. Many things are closed in
celebration of the holiday.
If you want to see some basketball games this winter this is a great weekend to
do so! The recreation department is hosting its annual invitational tournament and
the games are being played in all of the schools and gyms all over town. You can
get the schedule by going to the Hudson recreation departments website at www.
hudsonrec.com. Good luck to all the teams!
Be careful when you are out and about, even stepping out to get the mail, there is
a lot of black ice on paths and roads right now. We want you to stay safe!
Dont forget you can go to the Town of Hudson website and check out the HCTV/
Senior Center building movies that have been posted. This shows the progress of the
building and is neat to see everything being built extra fast!
I had a chance to sit down with the Hudson Police Department earlier this week
and we are planning some great seminars that will be offered at the new center.
We are looking for poker players to join us. If you are interested in playing poker,
please send Lori an e-mail at lbowen@hudsonnh.gov. She will nd time for you to
meet and share a game.
Other big news this week is the town selectmen accepted a donation to the senior
center of a book that will be available at the open house for the new center. This
book was written by local author Nancy Merz Nordstrom. It is about retiring and
the ways to enjoy your life and to continue learning and educating yourself in your
golden years. It is wonderful and I am about half way through my copy. Watch for
upcoming news about the book signing!
For the Kitchen
Even though it is in the middle of winter we can still enjoy those family cookout
favorites from the summer months. Potato salad is always a favorite and I would like
to share my recipe with you. This not only goes great with hamburgers on the grill,
but also goes well with chicken, ham or pork cooked in the oven.
Special Potato Salad
Ingredients:
1 package bacon (I use maple bacon)
10-12 potatoes
4 eggs, hard boiled
1 large Vidalia onion
5 stalks celery
2 teaspoons pepper
1 tablespoon Mrs. Dash (or your favorite spice combination)
3 cups mayonnaise or dressing
Peel and cut potatoes into small pieces. Boil until tender, and then drain in
strainer, let cool.
Open package of bacon and leave as a block. Slice off 1 inch increments until all
is cut. Cook in frying pan until crispy. Drain on paper towels.
Boil eggs for 15 minutes and then put in bowl of ice water for 10 minutes. Peel off
shell and slice thinly; I use a cheese slicer to make my cuts small.
Wash and slice celery.
Cut up and mince onion.
In large bowl put all cooked, chopped and sliced ingredients in and stir. Add
mayonnaise or dressing, pepper and spices then mix until everything is coated.
Cover and put in refrigerator. Serve cool with dinner as a side dish. You can also
save the eggs and place on top as a decoration.
Reminisce about warm weather!

The Bronco Swimmers and Divers showed
up in full force Friday night to face off with
teams from Nashua North, Nashua South and
Salem High Schools at the Boys and Girls Club
in Nashua. Lauren Somers, Mikayla Sintiris
and diver Hailey Boulia lead the way for
the now 8-2 Lady Broncos, taking rst place
in their individual events helping the team
to a 3-0 sweep. Somers and Sintiris joined
teammates Ashley Dumais and Julia Balukonis
to capture rst place in both the 200 medley
and 200 freestyle relay events.
The Bronco boys (9-3) were equally
impressive, and were lead by senior Jack
Roberts who placed second in both of his
individual events. Roberts teamed up with
fellow swimmers Frank Cunniff, Nick Iannaco
and John Sojka for a rst place victory in the
400 freestyle relay while taking second in the
200 freestyle relay helping the boys squad to
victories over South and Salem while falling
just short of North.
The team will be back in the pool this
Sunday, January 19, at the Salem Workout
Club and Wellness Center taking on teams
from Pelham, Derryeld, Hollis-Brookline,
Souhegan and Windham.
Go Broncos!

HMS Girls Basketball: Sticking Together at the Right Time
submitted by Frank Girginis
Nine games into the season the Hudson Memorial School
(HMS) girls basketball team has had to overcome their fair share
of obstacles. First, they lost their starting PG and second leading
scorer to an ankle injury over Christmas vacation. Second, they
are in the middle of a tough six games in a ten-day schedule due
to snow cancellations early in the season. However, from day
one, this team has had to overcome the odds considering not
many teams or coaches thought they would be in the position
they are in. Little do those teams know, it all starts with the girls
foundation; and that is a word which has been believed in the
HMS girls basketball program for many years now, the word is
together.
With a record of seven wins and two losses, the HMS girls
basketball team is working hard and earning everything they
get. Different from a season ago, this team does not have three
100 point scorers to depend on. The teams leading scorer this
season leads the team with 115 points, however, the next player
has half that. What this team has come to rely on is each other.
Every game someone new steps up, every game a new player
emerges and by doing so the team is getting stronger from within
as they continue to build on their strong foundation. Never
depending on one player has become the norm this season. In
nine games, the team has been led in scoring by the same player
only three times. The girls believe if a team is preparing to play
them it is easier for them to look to shut down one player than it
is to shut down a team. On this team its ve girls on offense all
looking to score, never relying on one to do it all.
With ve games remaining in their season and currently in
second place the girls know they still need to get better. They
know to make a run in the playoffs they need to be ring on all
cylinders when it matters most. If they continue to raise the bar,
work hard and continue to believe in that eight-letter word that
so many players before them have, they can achieve what some
thought was impossible.

BG Cardinals Soar in High School Gymnastics
by Phillip Nichols
On January 13, Londonderry High School hosted
a gymnastics meet in which the Bishop Guertin
Cardinals, Alvirne Broncos and the Campbell
Cougars participated, along with the Londonderry
Lancers and the Goffstown Grizzlies.
The Bishop Guertin Cardinals are a talented group
of young ladies from Hudson and the surrounding
communities. The Cardinals practice at Absolute
Gymnastics in Tyngsborough, Massachusetts. Lisa
Robuccio coaches them. The Cardinals are lead by
Co Captain and Hudson resident, BG junior Carolyn
Nichols and her younger sister sophomore Katelyn
Nichols. .
Carolyn competes all around
for the Cardinals and displays her
skills with humbleness and grace.
Carolyn performed a front front
on vault and scored an 8.7 out of
10. On the uneven bars she scored
8.6; on the balance beam, Carolyn
scored a 9.05, closing out on the
oor exercise with an 8.8.
These scores propelled her to a rst place all
around nish with a combined score of 35.2 out of a
possible 36.
Her sister, Katelyn Nichols did well also,
competing in just three events. Katelyn received a
7.5 on vault, 6.4 on the uneven bars and 6.8 on the
balance beam.
Along with their other teammates, the Bishop
Guertin Cardinals beat the two other teams to take
rst place.
Next stop for the BG Cardinals is on January 28,
when they, along with Alvirne, travel to Salem to
take on the Blue Devils.
Katelyn Nichols completes a perfect leap
on beam during competition at
Londonderry High School on January 13.

Knights of Columbus
Soccer Challenge Results
submitted by Dave Wilder
Back in October, the Knights of Columbus
Council 5162 of Hudson hosted their annual
soccer challenge at the Alvirne soccer elds in
Hudson.
After a couple of delays due to unforeseen
circumstances, the award ceremony took place
in the Rodgers Memorial Library childrens room
last week.
The competition is a contest to determine how
many out of 15 penalty shots of varying degrees
of difculty, the youth could make.
The kids had the option of going for the easier
5-point shot or risk the more difcult 10 or even
20-point shots.
On a beautiful sunny day, we had a record
number of boys and girls participate in the
contest this year.
Other winners were: Cameron Steed, Matt
Towle, Ben Masterson, Damien
Barahona, Timothy Barrett,
Emily Niswander and Amy
Steed. Congratulations to all our
winners!
Look for the announcement
in the Hudson~Litcheld
News later this month for the
Knights Basketball Free Throw
Competition to be held in mid-
February.
Once again, the Knights of
Columbus partnered with the
Hudson Recreation Department
and the Rodgers Memorial
Library for this event and we
appreciate their involvement.
Special thanks to Lori Bowen of
the recreation department who
was instrumental in helping the
Knights make this event happen.

NH Indoor Track and Field League:
Campbell Cougars Compete
by Marc Ayotte
The Broncos entered the win column in Division II play on
January 9, when they upended Winnacunnet (1-5) on its home ice
by a 3-2 score. The game was a statistical anomaly in that all ve
goals were scored while one team or the other enjoyed the man
advantage situation, made possible by a combined 14 penalties.
Carrying that statistic one step further, three of the ve goals were
shorthanded tallies with Alvirne surrendering a pair of them. Curtis
Richall was once again strong between the pipes for the Broncos (1-
4), turning aside 24 Warrior shots on goal to record the win.
Alvirne grabbed a 1-0 lead at 5:22 of the rst period on a
shorthanded goal from Cam Blake. With the score tied at 1-1 in
the second, Patrick DeVito scored the rst of his two power play
goals on the night, giving the Broncos a 2-1 advantage with 3:39
elapsed off the clock. Tied at two apiece with 6:08 left in the third,
it was DeVitos second goal while Alvirne enjoyed the extra skater
that proved to be the game winner. They moved the puck well,
recalled Coach Brian Gould of his teams ability to cash in on two
power play opportunities. However, on the down side as Gould
openly confessed; but we gave up two shorthanded goals in that
aspect it wasnt good.
After facing over 40 shots on goal in his previous game against
the Wolfpack, Richalls stint in the crease against Winnacunnet was
relatively quiet. Hes been solid, noted Gould of the Broncos
lone net minder. As the only AHS goalie, Richall has logged a
lot of minutes and has faced a superuity of opposition rubber
while allowing very few soft goals. To that point, Gould said of
his goalie; hes been able to come back strong after allowing the
occasional weak goal. He works hard in practice and hes not
getting complacent with the one goalie situation.
In addressing the same topic, Richall was as calm in
his reply as he has been between the pipes; being the
only goalie on the team doesnt really change the way I
look at my responsibility as a goalie. I am still doing all
I can to give the team a chance to win. With respect to
the amount of rubber he has faced in the early going and
the impact it will have on him as the season wears on,
Richall replied with candor and a team-rst mentality;
facing a lot of shots and getting playing time is good for
my own individual development, but the only thing we
are worried about as a team, and a family, is making the
playoffs. My own success can wait.
When asked to share his thoughts about the team
recording its rst win of the season, Richall offered; We
have all believed in what we can accomplish as a team,
and now that we have gotten our rst win out of the way,
we have something to show for all of our efforts. The
poised member of
the class of 2016
added; We have
come a long way
from last year and
we want everybody
in the league to
look at us as a solid
competitor.
Two days later at
Skate 3 in Tyngsborough,
Massachusetts, Alvirne could
not put back-to-back wins
together as they dropped a
4-1 decisions to Goffstown
(3-2). Trailing 1-0 in the
second period, Christian
Gamst (Perron) scored the
sole Bronco goal at the 4:34
mark to tie things up; only
to see the Grizzlies grab
the lead back with just 2:37
remaining in the period.
Playing well and behind by only a single goal, Alvirnes hopes
dimmed when Goffstown scored just past the midway point of the
nal period to go up 3-1. We were very evenly matched teams,
observed Gould though giving the size advantage to the Grizzlies.
An empty net goal with 36 ticks left in the game produced the
somewhat deceiving 4-1 nal score.
Along with DeVito, Bronco defenseman Devin Herling received
words of praise from his head coach; the last two games, he
(Herling) has been standing out and taking control of the play.
Regarding DeVito, Gould added that his defensive play is very
strong, in addition to his offensive success on the power play.
Looking forward, Gould is optimistic about the Broncos
upcoming games against Kingston (2-2) and Timberlane (1-5).
Additionally, with a game against 1-3-1 Lebanon sandwiched
between those two, the AHS coach offered; we have a good
chance to get a few wins under our belt.

On January 12, both the Campbell Cougars boys and girls indoor
track teams competed at the University of New Hampshire indoor
track facility in Durham.
The Lady Cougars managed a fth place nish, with 20 points, out
of 11 Division III schools.
Senior Cougar, Savannah Cavanaugh, in the preliminaries of the
55 meter dash qualied with a time of 7.70, while her teammate and
fellow senior, Caitlin Heaton ran an impressive 8.10 to qualify for the
nals. In the nals, it was Caitlin Heaton who ran the same time of
8.10, to take third place in the nals.
The Lady Cougar 4x400 relay team consisting of freshman, Jillian
Kohm and sophomores, Jamie Minervini, Sam Parzych and Ashley
Rollend nished third in the nals, with a time of 5:15.10.
The 4x160 relay team was up to the challenge as well. Savannah
Cavanaugh (twelfth grade), Caitlin Heaton (twelfth grade), Savannah
Reinitzer (tenth grade) and anchor Alissa Picard (ninth grade),
nished third as well with a time of 1:35.9.
The Lady Cougars continue to improve as the season goes on.
The boys had a good day as well, with the likes of junior, Sean
Munnelly defeating all other runners in the 600-meter nals with an
impressive time of 1:24.90.
Wanting to contribute, senior Ryan Perigny followed up in
the boys 1000 meter run with a fourth place nish and a time of
2:58.50.
These two then teamed up with sophomore, Sam Munnelly and
freshman, TJ Furlong in the 4x400 meter relay and posted the fastest
time of the day, 3:56.
In the 4x160 meter relay, DJ Simoneau (ninth grade), Cole Ryan
(ninth grade), Brendan Mason (ninth grade) and Gabe Rosa (tenth
grade) held off three of the nal nine teams for a sixth place nish,
with a time of 1:29.70. The youth of this particular team is especially
promising as they continue to improve.
As if these accomplishments were not enough,
on January 11, Sean Munnelly ran the 1000 meter
race at the Dartmouth Relays and nished third
with a time of 2:35.59. Munnellys time in this
race placed him in the record books at Campbell
High School.
Exciting!
