Hudson Fourth Graders Win State Class Act Tourism Award for Video
Bacon said that the video will be shown at the
Governors Conference on Travel and Tourism
which is next month.
Were hoping to get more media coverage on
it and it will be featured on our website and it will
be up until next year, Bacon said.
According to Neilsen, the class will receive a
trip up the Mount Washington Cog Railway, one
of New Hampshires oldest tourist attractions.
The group will receive luxury transportation
to the Cog by Premier Coach. This is the fourth
year the NH Division of Travel and Tourism has

Fourth grade students from Hudsons Hills
Garrison Elementary School were surprised
last Wednesday to learn that their 60-second
video had won grand prize in a statewide video
contest promoting New Hampshire as a tourist
destination.
Hills Garrison Principal Marylin Martellini
said that the announcement would be made in
the library because the fifth grade was taking the
Common Core Assessment test and the students
reaction could disturb them.
Representatives from the New Hampshire
Division of Travel and Tourism Development,
Marketing Assistant Katrina Bacon and
Communications Manager Kris Neilsen showed
up at the school to surprise Susan Senecals class
for its work on the Class Act Video Contest.
The class was called to the school library and
under the guise of giving input for other tourism
videos, where they watched a small video and
gave their thoughts on it. After commenting on
the video, another video was shown in which the
announcement was made by Victoria Cimino,
Director of NH Travel and Tourism Development,
that their video had taken first prize.
I have some great news for you. You guys
are the grand prize winners in the Class Act
video contest. Great job and thanks for helping
us showcase all the great places to see in New
Hampshire, Cimino said.
The students surprise was evident, as it took a
couple of seconds to register that they had won,
but when it sank in, the cheers went up and
several students covered their mouths with their
hands in surprise.
I nearly died I was so excited, student Alyssa
Longchamp, 9, said.
Bacon and Neilsen brought cupcakes and
lemonade to help the students celebrate.

achievement:
Eagle. Its lots
of fun, but its challenging, and at times, its downright trying.
Every Scout in Troop 20 has a nickname. Dylans first campout was a
freeze-out camping trip that took place in January. The first day was
warm, a January Thaw kind of day that had people shedding their coats
at midday, but piling on the layers by nightfall. Except Dylan couldnt find
any layers to pile on top of his sweatshirt. Theres an unspoken rule in Boy
Scouts: Be tough. Dylan played harder, then started shivering, preferring
to brave the bitter temperatures rather than cry Uncle, thus earning the
moniker, Iceman (note: Dylans father maintains that if hed only
looked in his backpack, warm clothes were there). Eventually he
ended up borrowing a too-large sweater, but as fellow Eagle Scout
James Gillum commented, the shivering little kid was tough:
it was a testament to what he was able to endure.
Dylan is a small guy, but hes got an outsize personality. Hes
always smiling and happy, always confident that things will turn
out okay. Assistant Scoutmaster Tim Cunniff pointed out that at
Wanocksett Summer Camp, Dylan was eager to learn to sail despite
the fact that he couldnt swim. Fellow scouts recall Dylan was an
active participant in every campout, every workday, every meeting,
and every Court of Honor. Dylan has seen a number of Scouts earn
their Eagle wings, and it occurred to him that he, too, could go all
the way.
His experience in Alvirne High Schools ROTC program proved a
great asset to the leadership role Dylan would assume in the Troop.
As he mentored the younger Scouts, Dylan started thinking about his
Eagle Project. He had an idea: deciding that Hudsons Musquash
Pond hadnt received much attention of late, Dylan chose to plan
and build an information kiosk for the area, much like the one at
Bensons. The fact that he started the project in the fall didnt bother
Dylan one bit. As I mentioned, this guy has confidence, for which
winter weather was no match.
It wasnt easy work. There were boulders that needed to be moved
before anchoring the kiosk. Naturally, this didnt hamper Dylan,
who says that one of the best parts of his project was watching
Mr. U (Assistant Scoutmaster Joe Undercofler) take out two boulders
from the Musquash entry area with his truck and a chain.
Dylan hopes the kiosk will help people recognize the historical
importance of Musquash Pond and the surrounding area. Hudson
Board of Selectman Chair Roger Coutu told Dylan and the assembled
crowd that the kiosks aesthetics and quality of work adds beauty
to the entrance of Musquash Pond, and that the Board of Selectmen
and Town of Hudson appreciate the work.
Dylan will graduate from Alvirne High School in June, and plans
to become an Emergency Medical Technician. As for his years as a
Boy Scout, Dylan says, I didnt want it to end.

Between 1886 and 1905 the Chapel of the Holy Angels in Hudson served as a mission chapel of the Good Shepherd Episcopal
Church in Nashua. Initially, services were held at the number two school off River and Steele Roads. In 1890, after the town voted to
build a new school house, the church purchased the old house and moved it onto the east side of Lowell Road, just north of Stewarts
Corner. Renovations were made to the exterior and the interior of the building. A belfry and cross was placed over the front gable.
In the belfry, there was a bell from the foundry of Clinton H. Meneely, of Troy, New York. This bell was inscribed with Let him that
heareth say come. The belfry and bell were the gift of Dr. and Mrs. (Virginia) Hills. Other improvements were also made and the
chapel was consecrated in September 1892. Weekly services continued through 1905. By 1907, the building was sold and converted
into a dwelling. Until recently we had no knowledge about the disposition of the bell. Next week we will see that the bell was saved
and placed in another building in town. Photo from the collection of the Hudson Historical Society.

LMS Doin Your Best Breakfast

for Second Quarter
submitted by Emily Gamache,
Student Council Secretary
Its already the third quarter in the 2014-2015
school year. In fact, it is almost over and we will
be in the last quarter of the year. Just like first
quarter, the teachers at Litchfield Middle School
have chosen six students from each grade that
they feel show the following qualities: honesty,
integrity, responsibility, respect, a strong work
ethic and being a positive role model for their
peers. I have often heard teachers comment how
hard it is to only pick six students each quarter,
which shows how great LMS students are.
Congratulations to the following fifth graders:
Lily Adamakos, Trevor Carty, Mia Kittredge,
Brody Mills, Brooke Sullivan, and Kiley York.

In grade six the students chosen by their

teachers are: Sophia Breton, Charlie Dyac,
Hayden Hartman, Sara Riendeau, Gavin Tavares
and Emily Tyler.
Grade seven honorees were: Stephanie Daigle,
Jillian Ferris, Josh Hoffman, Nick Molinari, Trevor
Scopelites and Mackenzie Wagner.
Lastly in grade eight we celebrated: Maddy
Busky, Cameron Bortle, Emily Coughlin, Jonah
Crema, Abi Gray and Tyler OMara.
We want to recognize and thank the Student
Council, who runs the breakfast, and volunteers
for their time. Great job to all the students and
good luck in the next quarter.

The Word Around Town...

Letters to our Editor

Guest Editorial
Education by Default

Representative Eric Estevez

Calls For Unity

by Amy C. Sousa
This year on Voting Day, I found myself outside of the Hudson
Community Center polls in a heated disagreement with a
candidate for school board over the need for public education
and concomitant spending. Only hours later, I learned that
the Hudson School District budget was voted down and would
revert to default spending. Admittedly, I was disappointed. As
an ardent advocate for education, I thought for certain a default
budget meant a reversion to a lesser standard of education.
Immediately following the default announcement, I scheduled
an appointment with Superintendent Bryan Lane and Business
Administrator Karen Burnell to determine exactly which
educational opportunities would be
denied to our students. The answer
startled me: Our educational
program will not be impacted,
stated Mr. Lane. I was told that there
will be no layoffs, just retirements;
textbooks will be purchased; and
online programming will remain.
Ms. Burnell went on to say, Its
our job to ensure that educational
programming is not interrupted no
matter the budget.
With prompting, I discovered
that some computer hardware
purchases will need to wait and
select upgrades to facilities will be deferred. Its possible that
some extracurricular activities might be cut or become feebased and library purchases may slow down. As I reviewed the
list with the administrators before me, I recognized the relative
importance of each item on the chopping block; but, I couldnt
help but be underwhelmed by the impact and I said so.
The real issue, responded Mr. Lane is that we wont make
advancements in our educational program.
Weeks later, Im still perplexed by the notion of
advancements in our educational program. It sounds
commonsensical enough. As a parent, community member, and
educator, I want students to advance. But, then I wonder, where
are they going?
I know firsthand of the extreme efforts many of Hudsons
educators exert to ensure that students learn academic, social,
and daily living skills. There is meaningful progress being
made in the District toward addressing national college and
career readiness standards. Hudson students are making strides
on grade level standards and are doing well when compared
against many other states. Do these achievements among
individual tracks of students, teachers, or even grade levels
translate into a shared, community-wide goal of advancement in
public education? Im not sure.
I keep flashing back to that debate outside of the polling
place on Voting Day. The goal of the candidate for school board
was to reduce per pupil costs, especially for special education
students. My goal for public education is decidedly different.
So, I write this editorial with a purpose. Rather than continuing
to rely on what weve always done, I propose that we answer, in
30 words or less, this simple question: What is the purpose of
public education in Hudson?
Middle school teacher Heather Wolpert-Gawron asked
members of her community this same question and got
responses such as these: create a civilized population; prepare
students to contribute to an ever-evolving society; create critical
thinkers; give students the skills to compete globally; and create
lifelong learners.
Email the purpose of Hudson public education in 30 words
or less by May 1 to education@areanewsgroup.com. Your
de-identified responses will be reported in a future edition
of the Hudson~Litchfield News, where we can have a public
conversation about advancing the goals of public education
in our community, because our students deserve more than
education by default.

A state representative of a great state such as

ours, and the editor of great newspaper such as
yours, owes a common obligation to the people:
an obligation to present the facts, to present them
with candor, and to present them in truthful
perspective. It is with that obligation in mind that
I have decided to discuss briefly at this time the
story that was published regarding a recent event
in Concord, NH.
The facts of the event on April 1 are as follows.
My friend and colleague Representative John
Manning of Salem invited me to attend a lunch
reception at the historic Upham-Walker House
in Concord, NH, across the street from the state
house. Upon arrival, we introduced ourselves to
Nashua Mayor Donnalee Lozeau. The mayor then
informed us that the event was for the Nashua
delegation only. However, in good faith, my
colleague from Salem and I attempted to discuss
important policy issues that affect our area of the
state with the mayor before leaving. At that point,
Representative Bill Ohm of Nashua decided to
immediately confront and accuse us of disturbing
their event. There was no profanity used, and no
physical altercation took place. Representative
Manning and I left the Upham-Walker House and
returned to the state house.
My vision of the southern New Hampshire
region working together to advance the public
interest failed miserably. Instead of Pelham,
Hudson, and Salem having a diplomatic dialogue
with Nashua regarding job creation, fighting taxes,
providing local aid to our region, and helping
people through constituent services, Nashua
essentially told Pelham, Hudson, and Salem that
they were Persona non grata, i.e., not welcome.
The fact is the New Hampshire House of
Representatives is a 400 member legislative body.
As the largest legislative body in the world behind
the British Parliament, and the U.S. Congress,
according to the National Conference of State
Legislatures, it is impossible for our region of the
state to effectively lobby for our interests without
the cooperation and teamwork of our local area
legislators. My colleague and I were disappointed
that the people of southern New Hampshire
would ultimately suffer as a result of the lack of
unity that took place that day. For example, my
economic development bill SB 113, a law that
if passed, would create jobs, decrease taxes, and
provide local aid to our communities. The bill
requires at least 201 votes to pass the House of
Representatives.
Although my colleague and I deny the use
of any profanity or physical altercation, we do
take responsibility for attending an event as
uninvited guests. The fact is, too many political
lunches, receptions, and events are invitation only
depending on party, ideology, and region, etc.
This exposes a serious problem in our political
system. Our contemporary political climate of
polarization creates inefficiency and mistrust of
government. This is unacceptable, and we can do
better. We the people deserve a government that
works together collectively to help people and
advance the public interest. It is time for unity.
We can accomplish great things if we begin to
work together. As your state representative, I will
continue to work with anyone who is committed
to the progress of our great state. Conducting
myself as a statesman, not a politician will always
be my top priority.
In the final analysis, we must reexamine our

attitudes towards the issue of unity. For what

President John F. Kennedy said in 1963 remains
true today, Our most basic common link is that
we all inhabit this planet. We all breathe the same
air. We all cherish our childrens future. And we
are all mortal.
God bless you and your families. And may God
continue to bless our great state and nation.
Representative Eric P. Estevez, Pelham

Carrying the Flame of Hope

for Special Olympics
For the last 33 years, a largely untold story has
been happening; members of the law enforcement
community have been going above and beyond
the call of duty volunteering their time for people
with intellectual disabilities - the athletes of Special
Olympics.
The Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special
Olympics (LETR) is a volunteer movement
that was established by members of the law
enforcement community to support Special
Olympics. The mission of LETR is to increase
awareness and raise funds for Special Olympics
and its athletes.
The LETR for Special Olympics is the largest
grassroots fundraiser for Special Olympics with
more than 100,000 Law Enforcement participants
around the world. At its most basic level, the
Torch Run is an actual running event where
Law Enforcement Officers and Special Olympics
athletes run the Flame of Hope into the opening
ceremonies of Special Olympics competitions
which are usually held at Waterville Valley (Winter
games) and the University of New Hampshire
(Summer games).
In the last year, more than 100,000 Law
Enforcement Officers carried the Flame of Hope
in all 50 U.S. states, in Canada and 47 countries
around the world, raising awareness and funds
for Special Olympics. To this day, officers and
employees at the Hudson Police Department
continue to carry that Flame. We fundraise and
volunteer our time to this organization and have
done so for over 25 years.
Our officers and employees participate in
the Winni Dip (a refreshing dip in Lake

interest groups in our local politics. Thus far, he

has not indicated support for this bill.
Yet it is undeniable that the influence of money
on our politics is corrupting. Thats why the
residents of New Hampshire agree that Citizens
United must be addressed, with overwhelming
majorities of Democrats, Republicans and
Independents, according to a University of New
Hampshire Granite State Poll. Furthermore, 68
towns have passed town warrant articles urging our
legislature to act.
The necessity of this bills passage is so clear
that our State Senate passed it with a unanimous
voice vote, with vigorous support from both the
conservative and liberal wings of the Senate. The
bill also includes language to ensure the protection
of First Amendment rights for all citizens.
Standing up to special interests takes
tremendous courage. Thats why we, the citizens
of Hudson, should show Representative Ober that
we will stand with him in favor of this bill. Please
call him at 603-883-9654 or 603-271-3661 and
share your support. Your voice still counts so
speak up and be heard. Together, we can fight to
return our democracy to the hands of the people,

Middle East Equilibrium
Due to indecision by the Obama White House
to support moderate Sunni rebels in Syria, Islamic
terrorists in Syria (ISIS) were able to reposition
forces and attack the Iraqi Army, which folded
and abandoned its U.S. equipment, including
many Humvees and 155mm guns. The Iraqi
government requested air strikes against ISIS, but
President Obama ignored the request, referring
to ISIS as the J V Team. The result was ISIS
captured our military equipment, and established
territory from which they can launch terrorist
attacks. We belatedly decided to send advisers to
assist the Iraqi Army, and we launched air strikes
against ISIS.
We appear to be fostering equilibrium in the
Middle East with Shiites of Syria, Iran, Lebanon,
Yemen and Iraq counter weighted by Sunnis of
Saudi Arabia, the Emirates, Jordan, Egypt, Syria
and Iraq. We should continue to conduct air
strikes, training, and covert operations in Iraq and
Syria to counter ISIS. The Kurds, who are reliable
Arab allies, should be well armed. Other Arabs,
including so called moderates, should be sold used
equipment without spare parts.
With the decrease in our dependence on Middle
East oil, containment of turmoil and fighting
by Arabs in the Middle East could translate to
increased security for the U.S. and other countries.

President Obama Attacks

Freedom of Religion on
Christians
Hussain Obama pretends as he tells the America
people that he is a Christian. When the truth be
told, when Egypts newer Prime Minister lbrahim
Mahlab asked Hussain Obama if he really gave
up his Muslim religion he said I would never give
up my Muslim religion as the microphone was
still on. Fox News host Megyn Kelly believes
President Barack Obamas recent comments about
the less-than-loving expressions by Christians
could have a chilling effect on those who want to
speak out against ongoing religious persecution of
their religious brethren. On Easter, I do reflect
on the fact that as a Christian, I am supposed to
love. And I have to say that sometimes when I
listen to less-than-loving expressions by Christians,
I get concerned, said Obama.
Obamas Father Wrote About Socialism - His
father wrote a paper called Problems With Our
Socialism that advocates 100% of the rich,
communal ownership of land and the forced
confiscation of privately controlled land. Source:
Greg Ransom, PrestoPundit.
Obamas Mother Was a Communist
Sympathizer - Friends describe her as a fellow
traveler, that is, a communist sympathizer,
from her youth, according to a March 27, 2007,
Chicago Tribune report. Source: Spengler, Asia
Times. The values she taught me continue to be
my touchstone when it comes to how I go about
the world of politics - Barack Obama. Source:
Tim Jones, Chicago Tribune.
Hussain Obama has disgraced the United State
Constitution since 2008. His pro Marxist stance
to take down our economy. In putting two selfproclaimed Communists on the U.S. Supreme
Court bench, they being Sonia Sotomayor, a
Hispanic racist against Caucasians, and Elena
Kagan, both Anti-Capitalism. l would hope
that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her
experiences would more often than not reach a
better conclusion than a white male who hasnt
lived that life, said Judge Sotomayor. Barack
Obama says US will reassess relationship with
the Israel following Benjamin Netanyahu shift on
two-state solution. Doesnt it all now make sense
that Hussain Obama, a Muslim, is not only AntiAmerica, anti-Christian, but anti-Jewish.

Day of Discovery

Bridging the Gaps

Youre an
adult, and
missing teeth
have left
gaps in your
dental
architecture.
What
should you
do?
The word architecture
holds the answer. If a key
vertical support were to be
removed from a building, the
risk of structural collapse is
very real.
Thats exactly the threat
your teeth face when one of
them is removed from the
structure of your mouth,
which in this respect is not
different from a building.
A lost tooth cancels the
partnership with teeth
adjacent to it and above or
below it. The remaining
teeth become vulnerable to
a variety of problems. They
can drift without that

supporting partner. Food

impaction then occurs
between teeth resulting in a
higher incidence of decay.
Periodontal disease, the
largest single cause of tooth
loss in adults, can develop.
The missing tooth should be
replaced by a fixed bridge,
partial denture, or implant. If it
isnt, chances are very high
that you will lose additional
teeth, and in time, possibly all
your teeth.
Thats not an exaggeration.
Nature designed the dental
arch to work properly only with
a full complement of teeth,
each one helping, protecting,
and stabilizing the neighboring
teeth.
Because your teeth work
together as a team,
substituting a dental
replacement for missing teeth
will maintain your mouths
architecture, as well as your
ability to chew properly and
your smile.

State Budget- continued from front page

Overall, the DHHS budget spends an average of
$12,000 per year per person receiving benefits. Over
the years, more application processes have been made
available on-line and more people are using this on-line
facility. As a result, funding to a private organization,
ServiceLink, has been cut. ServiceLink does not provide
any direct services to residents and the Commissioner
felt that he had enough administration and needed to
concentrate on delivering actual services to residents.
The total increases the total funding for the Department
of Health and Human Services is $141 million over
the FY 2014 actual and FY 2015 adjusted authorized
spending levels for the biennium when adjusted for higher
uncompensated care payments. As mentioned, general
funds increase by $78.4 million above current biennial
spending levels.
Reductions in the cost per youth for operating the
Sununu Youth Services Center were made and the Sununu
Youth Services Center will now be funded at the average
daily cost of community service providers and provides
the option for the Department to operate more efficiently,
to privatize operations or to send children to community
service providers. This is partly because additional
services will be provided as a result of increasing the age
of minority for juvenile delinquency proceedings from 17
to 18 years. As a result more children will be serviced and
the overall cost of administration will be spread across a
larger resident population.
And lastly, the DHHS budget provides funding for the
Child Protection and Child Development Programs at
existing levels.
The DHHS budget increases general funds by $1.6
million to reinstate the Medicaid Breast and Cervical
Cancer program and Medicaid coverage for Low Income
Pregnant Women program upon repeal of the New
Hampshire Health Protection program. As well as
allowing Medicaid managed care organizations to use
their own preferred drug lists to save $2.5 million in
general funds each year of the biennium.
To achieve some of the changes the DHHS

STATE AGENCY
BUDGET REQUESTS

Commissioner requested, the Meals on Wheels program

was funded below current level. However, the House
requested that this funding be made a priority and the
Senate has already reported that they have revenue to fund
this program at its existing level.
No changes have been made to the pension system for
four years, so towns and school boards can expect to pay
the same amount as before. In both cases, payment will
only go up if the voters have approved more raises.
In the current budget 44 towns fail to receive all of their
student funding because there has been a cap on adequate
education grants. The proposed House budget removes
that cap and level funds catastrophic aid for special
education in FY 2017. Towns such as Windham and
Pelham will finally begin to receive all of their educational
adequacy funding something not done in the existing
budget.
The budget also provides approximately $15 million
over the biennium in tuition and transportation assistance
to local schools, as well as continues and funds efforts to
lower pupil drop-out rates.
Cities and towns will receive $127.6 million for meals
and rooms distribution over the biennium. This maintains
FY15 levels through FY16 as proposed by the Governor
and keeps the funding level in FY17.
The budget fully funds the Land and Community
Heritage Investment Program (LCHIP) by appropriating
$7 million over the biennium, which is, in turn, given in
grants to cities and towns.
Highway Block Grant funding remains fully funded,
as does the Department of Transportation and the
Department of Safety. The budget also provides more than
$14 million over the biennium for municipal bridge aid. It
does postpone any new DOT equipment purchases.
There is increased funding for Legal Aid, which will be
of help to towns and residents who need legal support.
Funding was provided to support the eFile program,
which will allow businesses and residents to file taxes
electronically. Business support remains as originally
budgeted.
State retirees who are
younger than 65 will
begin to pay a 20 percent

GOVERNORS
BUDGET PROPOSAL

In February of the first year of the term, the Governor presents the budget proposal, HB1 and HB2. Following production of
the bills, they are then received by the House and assigned to the House Finance Committee. Spending levels are based on
recommendations from Governors own revenue estimating panel and/or new revenue streams (taxes, fees, etc).

Once the House and Senate have approved their own versions of the budget, a committee of conference is usually requested.

premium on their health insurance, which remains

This does not impact town or school district
employees.
In addition, funding was provided for eCourt,
which will develop an end-to-end electronic court
case processing system in a digital environment,
eliminating paper processes and decreasing case
processing time, while increasing information
management efficiency, accuracy, and constituent
service through leveraged uniform work processes.
This will provide better access for residents to
court documents.
Counties will see a benefit in the budget as well.
Funding was provided for the Judicial Branch to
raise payments to County Sheriffs. In addition,
legislation for the new program that will lower
county costs by removing prisoners from county
jails 60 to 90 days sooner, thus ensuring a more
rapid trial system.
So, the bottom line to the budget is that it
spends $75 million more in general funds than
the existing budget. Although there are no new
taxes or fees, this increase in general funds is
directly related to an improving economy. Every

The Default Budget Not Quite Balanced

by Len Lathrop
The Hudson School Board met in a workshop format in the
library at Alvirne High School to try to balance the default
budget. After the voters defeated the operational budget
during the March election the task of the school board and the
administration was to bring in a budget that followed Revised
Statutes Annotated (RSA) rules that define the default budget as
last years operating budget, less any one-time spending, plus any
contractual obligations of the school department.
While that sounds simple, it really isnt. The administration
has worked at coming up with a set of numbers that were
displayed to the public in this workshop format. After making
all the adjustments, the shortfall was $1,158,697. The first
step for staff was to evaluate the budget, adding back in funds
from accounts that were lower in the proposed budget than the
default. As the accounts balances dont go up, they also dont
go down. This amount was $439,341. As Superintendent Lane
pointed out at the last school board meeting a week ago, while
the budget is made in late August or early September many
things like enrollment change. These changes were outlined
in last weeks summary in your HLN. These totaled $477,600.
That left $263,511 that needed to be reduced from next years
budget. Twelve items that will not have an adverse effect on the
educational program would then reduce this grouping was worth
$151,720. The further reduction needed is $111,791.
In the 2014 school year, the school board voted to add some
new programming to the budget, staff reports these programs
are very successful and would hope that they could be refunded
in the 2016 budget. They total $71,169. This put the adjusted
amount to be reduced from the budget total at $183,560.
The Monday nights meeting filled the room. There were many
staff and probably an equal number of residents. School Board
Chairman Mike Truesdell asked Superintendent Lane to go down
the worksheet that he had provided. At each section, public
input was sought, people could speak, and each school grouping
was voted on by the school board. The meeting progressed
quickly with a 5 to 0 vote by the school board. On the first two
blocks of reduction there was quite a bit of discussion about the
programs that the school board and the superintendent wanted
to add back in, but that $71,169 passed on a 3 to 2 on a motion
made by Patty Langlais and seconded by Meagan Pollack.
Superintendent Lane suggested that each school be looked at
separately starting with Alvirne High School. Lane was quick
to mention to all that all these reductions were worked out with
the school principals and department heads and that this was a
collaborative effort. Many line items were quickly accepted by
the board. After public input, however, several stumbling blocks
where many members of the public spoke and professional staff
helped Lane with the explanation. The first line item question
was freshman athletics which would reduce the budget by

Sudoku
4

$32,635. Lane asked athletic director Karen Bonney about this.

Bonney explained that while cutting freshman sports sounded
simple, the ripple effect could force sophomores and juniors
off of playing fields. She explained that if they were freshmen
that could try out for teams, maybe a sophomore and junior
wouldnt make those teams, where when freshmen are isolated
in their own teams they dont compete with the sophomores
and juniors. Lane had, prior to Ms. Bonneys speaking, spoke
about the difference between a 14-year-old who played freshman
sports and a 16-year-old who might be playing JV sports both in
maturity and size, which Bonney concurred with. After much
conversation in public input Alvirne Principal Beals made a
request of the school board to leave the $32,635 in the budget
and allow him and the athletic director to work on finding ways
to make up that money without sacrificing freshman sports. The
rest of the items on the list were approved to be removed. At
the middle school, the list included non-athletic programs, field
trip transportation, school suspension paraprofessional position
and library book replacements. Several questions were asked
of Principal Bowen and the discussion moved to the elementary
schools. $3,783 included on the list was earmarked for thirdgraders trips to historical sites and Hudson fourth-graders trip
to the state house. After public comment from several people
that money remain in the budget and not be part of the reduction
list, the administration also included a reduction of 15 percent
in the publication budget, special education equipment that was
deemed not to be needed due to population change and districtwide painting of the schools.
As the meeting drew to a close at 9:30 p.m., much had been
accomplished but many things still needed to be accomplished.
One citizen asked what the deadline was to complete this.
Superintendent Lane advised mid-May is at that point teachers
contracts need to be disseminated for next year. The school
board will meet again on April 20 to continue the discussion to
have more questions answered and to make a final determination
of where roughly the $50,000 left to balance the budget will be
removed from. Interested citizens should watch HCTV channel
21 to see the complete meeting. Reporting here to you would
take 4,000 to 5,000 words.
In closing words from Beth Lavoie, who teaches at Alvirne and
is the teachers union president, ring true this is going to hurt
people one way or another. While no teachers were eliminated,
this is a roller coaster. Budgets pass, budgets fail. Parents didnt
come out to support the budget; a very small percentage of the
registered voters in the town of Hudson voted.
The school board will meet at the Hills Library at 6:30 p.m.
Monday the 20th; the public is allowed to speak there in public
input session.

Kuster Urges VA to Protect

Whistleblowers from Retaliation
submitted by the Ofce of Congresswoman Annie Kuster
During a House Veterans Affairs Subcommittee on Oversight and
Investigations (O&I) hearing, Congresswoman Annie Kuster (NH02) heard testimony from VA whistleblowers and strongly urged
VA officials to crack down on retaliation against employees who
come forward to report mismanagement at the VA. Kuster currently
serves as Ranking Member of the House Subcommittee on O&I,
and she has long urged the VA to fire or discipline any individuals
responsible for creating a culture of intimidation and retaliation at
the VA.
As Americans, it is our duty to ensure that every one of our
veterans can easily access high-quality care at his or her local VA.
Last year, whistleblowers helped our Committee uncover gross
instances of mismanagement at VA centers around the country,
which eventually led to Congress passing the Veterans Access,
Choice and Accountability Act to resolve issues at the VA and
drastically improve the quality of services offered to our veterans,
said Congresswoman Annie Kuster. Whistleblowers are crucial
to our effort to uncover any impediments to veteran care, and
we must ensure not only that whistleblowers are protected, but
also that any individual who attempts to retaliate against them
for coming forward is immediately disciplined or fired. Leading
by example is the only way to end the culture of corruption and
intimidation at the VA, and I strongly urge VA officials to send a
clear message to all VA staff that retaliation against whistleblowers
will not be tolerated under any circumstances.
In July of last year, the House Veterans Affairs Committee held
a hearing to hear directly from whistleblowers about issues at the
VA, and their own treatment as a result of coming forward to report

fraud, mismanagement, and threats to the quality of veterans

health care. During yesterday evenings O&I Subcommittee
hearing, the Members heard from VA whistleblowers, the
Office of Special Council, and the newly created VA Office of
Accountability Review about changes the VA has taken since July
to better protect whistleblowers from retaliation. After hearing
that the whistleblowers themselves rather than the individuals
accused of mismanagement or those responsible for retaliation
often found themselves the subject of VA investigations after filing
their complaints, Congresswoman Kuster called on VA officials
to immediately increase efforts to crack down on retaliation and
discipline any individuals responsible for intimidating or retaliating
against VA whistleblowers.
Congresswoman Kuster currently serves on the House Veterans
Affairs Committee, and she helped lead the investigation into
mismanagement scandals at VA centers in Phoenix and across the
nation last year. She was recently selected by her colleagues to
serve as Ranking Member of the Veterans Affairs Subcommittee on
O&I, which will allow the Congresswoman to continue to provide
increased oversight at the VA to ensure every veteran can easily
access high quality care. Since taking office, Kuster has held a
series of roundtables throughout the state with veteran service
organizations and local veterans to hear directly from them about
any issues they are experiencing
with their local VA facilities, so
she can take their concerns back
to Washington and fight for their
right to access the care they need.

Make the Most of Your Home Appraisal

Area News
Group
Hudson
Litchfield
News

When homeowners think about renovating

their properties, many first need to secure some
funding to finance such projects. Some may tap
into the equity of their homes by refinancing an
existing mortgage, while others may apply for
home equity loans. Taking the latter approach
may require certain steps, including an assessment of how much the home and property is
worth.
Home appraisals compare your home to
neighboring properties to determine your
homes current market value. Homeowners can
facilitate the process by having certain information readily available for the appraiser. When
preparing for appraisers, homeowners should
consider and collect the following information:
If your home was built on the largest lot in
the community.
If you have made significant upgrades
since it was last appraised, such as installing
a new roof or siding. Dont overlook smaller
renovations, like extra insulation added or
sealing drafty windows, which can increase a
homes value.
Proof that you have used sustainable
resources or if you participated in any energysavings programs.
Naturally, any expansion projects, such as adding another
bedroom or extending the footprint of the home, should be
mentioned.
A real estate appraiser is a certified, licensed professional
who will do his or her best to determine the value of your
home. The appraisal provides banks with information that
can tell loan officers if the house is worth the loan amount.

Dos and Donts 0f Kitchen Remodels

Need A Roof Replacement or Repair?

According to Remodeling magazines 2014

Cost vs. Value Report, a major kitchen remodeling project should enable homeowners to recoup
74.2 percent of their initial investments. Kitchen
renovations have long been a safe way to improve the functionality and value of a home. But
not every kitchen project is a guaranteed winner.
Homeowners may inadvertently make changes
that end up sticking out like a sore thumb rather
than improving the space. Take a look at these
kitchen remodeling dos and donts to guide your
next undertaking.
DO consider the way your kitchen will look
with the rest of the home. Keep architectural
integrity in mind when designing the space. A
farmhouse sink and country cabinets can look out
of place in an ultra-modern home.
DONT overlook the importance of a seasoned
designer or architect. These pros will know the
tricks to maximizing space and achieving the
ideal layout of appliances and may be able to
recommend local contractors and vendors.
DO look beyond surface details to the structural integrity of the design. The kitchen should
be functional, long-lasting and beautiful.
DONT design just for today, but look to the
future as well. Unless you are willing to spend
$50,000 every five years, look for styles and
materials that will last for the long haul. Older
homeowners may want to make adjustments now
that address potential mobility issues down the
road.
DO work with what you have. A complete
demolition and renovation is not always necessary to achieve the desired results. Only invest in
major changes if something is not working (such
as having to walk across the entire kitchen to
access the stove) or is unsafe. Otherwise, minor
upgrades may do the trick.
DONT over-improve the space. A fully
equipped commercial kitchen may be handy for a
professional chef, but the average person may not
need an industrial hood and indoor pizza oven.
When you make excessive improvements, you
may not be able to recoup as much of the money
spent because your home will not be on par with
the values of homes in the neighborhood.

Our skilled professionals can get the job done.

The appraiser gathers information for the appraisal report
from a number of sources, but the process often begins with
a physical inspection of the property, both inside and out.
He or she also will compare your home against a few others in the neighborhood, which are known as comparables,
or comps. Appraisals will be based on recent prices of
comparable properties as well as other factors.

design because of lack of money may leave you feeling dissatisfied afterward.

Apart from the improvements done to the

home, there are other ways to get a higher
appraisal amount. The appraiser may consider
the overall maintenance of the home and
property. It is wise to consider curb appeal
and ensure the home is clean and maintained
when the appraiser arrives. Minor repairs or
common maintenance can impress the appraiser. Removing clutter and cleaning up the
homes interior can make the home appear
larger, possibly increasing its value as a result.
It may be worth it to invest some more
money into the property before having an
appraisal done. A study sponsored by the
National Association of Realtors says wood
floors, landscaping and an enclosed garage
can lead to a more favorable appraisal.
An appraiser will spend roughly 30 minutes
in a home. Try to give that person space to do
his or her job. Following the appraiser around
during an inspection can raise a red flag that
something is wrong with the house that you
dont want to be seen. Turn lights on throughout the house, make sure the heating or cooling system is functioning at full capacity and
keep pets locked away. Move items that can
impede access to basements or attics.
An accurate assessment of the value of your home will
give banks the information they need to determine loan
amounts for future renovation projects. Providing background information on the home and having a well-maintained property can improve the chances of a favorable
appraisal.

vacation season generates enough rental income to pay for

the second home year-round.
Personal style goes a long way toward determining how to
renovate a primary residence. But men and women who own
vacation homes they hope to rent out should not allow their
own personal styles to dictate a vacation home renovation
project. The following are some additional
things homeowners should consider before renovating their vacation homes.
Curb appeal: When renovating
a vacation property, relatively minor
updates can dramatically improve curb
appeal, which may bear more weight with
prospective renters than it would prospective buyers. Potential buyers are making
a substantial financial commitment when
they buy a home, so they will go over a
home with a fine tooth comb. But vacation renters are making a much smaller
financial commitment, so curb appeal
can go a long way toward encouraging
vacationers to rent your property. Repaint
a home in a more vibrant color or replace
old siding with newer material. Hire a
local landscaping service to tend to the
property throughout vacation season, and
be sure to include updated photos of your
property with online listings.
Connectivity: While vacation was
once a respite from
all aspects of our
everyday lives, nowadays vacationers want
to maintain at least
some connection to
the outside world. If
your vacation home

Construction Quick Tip:

Build A Disaster-resilient Home
With Sustainable Technology
(MS) Which type of natural disaster might be around the corner where you live, now that extreme
weather events are so common? Is it a hurricane, an ice storm, a tornado? Perhaps a flash flood? Forest
fires are also on the rise, but even accidental house fires pose a threat. Peace-of-mind is still possible,
however. Today you can select the strongest materials and smartest technology, like concrete instead
of wood walls. An innovative method that uses preassembled, insulated concrete forms (ICFs) is also
energy efficient, healthier for residents, cost effective, and eco-responsible, according to leading building
technology supplier Nudura. ICFs lock together like Lego to give us walls that are disaster-resilient to
storm winds as high as 402 kilometers per hour. As compared to wood, concrete walls will also be far
more fire-resistant, with a fire-protection factor up to 4 hours long. And thanks to the superior insulation
of concrete walls, homeowners report energy bill savings up to 70 percent. By eliminating the wood
frame, the sound-proofing improves, drafts and cold spots are eliminated, mold and mildew growth
is diminished, the investment value is protected, and for the duration of any family life in that home,

is not up-to-date with its wireless technology, upgrade to a

faster network that offers high speed Internet. Such connectivity can and likely will prove attractive to prospective renters who have grown accustomed to relying on the Internet,
even when they are on vacation.
Appliances: A vacation rental may not need the latest
and greatest appliances, but homeowners may find it easier
to attract renters (and charge more in rent) if the home is
not filled with outdated appliances reminiscent of a long
forgotten era. Upgrade especially outdated appliances, but
make sure any upgrades fit with the theme of your rental. For
example, stainless steel appliances may look great in your
primary residence, but such appliances are costly and may
not be what renters hoping to find a beachside bungalow are
looking for.
Accessibility: Some people want a vacation home far
off the beaten path, but that does not mean the home has to
be inaccessible. If your vacation home is in a wooded area
far off the road, consider paving the access road prospective
renters will use to get to and from the property. This relatively
small touch may appeal to potential renters who want some
seclusion but dont want to put their vehicles through the
ringer every time they leave the property.
Renovating a vacation home is a great way to generate
extra rental income from the property, and there are several
ways homeowners can make their vacation homes more attractive to renters without breaking the bank.

Remodeling Spending Increases ss Renovations Rise

Home
Improvement

In the not-so-distant past, home improvement projects all

but came to a halt, as homeowners were weary about investing any money into fixer-uppers. But the tides have changed
dramatically in recent months, and homeowners are again
ready and willing to invest big dollars into home renovations.
Renewed confidence in the economy and an upswing in
the real estate market have contributed to the remodeling
frenzy. In early 2014, the Joint Center for Housing Statistics of Harvard University forecasted nearly $150 billion
in major remodeling spending over the year. JCHS said as
homeowners gain more confidence in the housing market,
theyre more likely to undertake home improvements they
would have avoided in recent years.
While the numbers do not yet match pre-recession
remodeling spending, the number of construction projects
has steadily trended upward. According to the National Association of Home Builders, as of November 2014, a greater
number of remodelers reported higher business activity than
during the previous quarter. Remodeling spending has been
gradually climbing back up from the all-time low it reached
in 2009.
This growth in home renovations has led to more jobs

Consumers are no longer leery about investing money

in home projects.
for carpenters, plumbers, painters, electricians, and other
construction workers. In Massachusetts alone, a recovery in
overall construction employment has led to a gain of about
18,000 jobs during the past four years.

The Home Improvement Research Institute expects an

additional 5.8 percent sales growth in home improvement
spending in 2015. States that showed the highest levels of
home improvement spending in 2014 are likely to continue to hold the top spots through 2015, and the National
Association of Home Builders says these areas include the
District of Columbia, Connecticut, New Jersey, Maryland,
Massachusetts, and areas of southern California.
Americans are not the only ones increasing their home
spending. According to reports released by Moneris Solutions Corporation, Canadas largest credit and debit card
processor, purchases at home improvement stores rose by
8.49 percent over the same period last year, and spending
on plumbing and heating equipment and electrical contractors climbed by 5.14 percent and 5.08 percent, respectively.
Spending patterns indicate that homeowners are investing in
DIY projects as well as seeking specialized work provided
by professional contractors.
Now is a good time for the real estate and home improvement sectors, as homeowners have renewed their fervor for
making home renovations, both to increase comfort in their
homes and make their homes more buyer-friendly.

Find the Best Method of Treating Warm Weather Insects

Homeowners know that the arrival of spring also marks

the re-emergence of insects. While not every insect is harmful, if an infestation grows considerably or if insects begin
to move from the outdoors into a home, it may be time for
homeowners to call in a professional.
The Entomological Society of America points out that
homeowners cannot count on bitterly cold winters to help
control the numbers of insects in their yards. Insect ecology
is affected by various factors and is not solely dependent on
temperature. Furthermore, what occurred one year certainly
may not be repeated the next, as homeowners who have
had various insect infestations in their yards can attest. One
year a yard may be overcome with ants, while the next year
it may suffer through an earwig infestation.
The first step homeowners looking to curtail insects in
their yards can take is to determine if the insects they see

cide if it is bearable living with the

insects. If insects are not doing any
damage or if they can be controlled
relatively easily, then you might
be able to avoid calling in the
professionals. However, if critters
like termites and certain species of
wood-eating insects are invasive
and damaging your yard, you may
need to take action.
Anyone concerned with the side
effects of pesticides and insecticides can first try to remedy the
problem naturally. Sometimes
its just a matter of making a yard
less hospitable to insects. Remove
leaves and clean up debris close
to the house, as these can both encourage infestations. Piles of rotting
wood or leftover firewood can be a
food or shelter source for a number
of insects. Inspect water spigots for
leaks and improve suspect drainage
on your property, as these things
can be welcoming to bugs that
like moist surroundings. Remove
standing water whenever possible

to eliminate spots for mosquitoes

to incubate larvae.
Natural remedies also may do
the trick. Mint, bay leaves, catnip,
and garlic can repel insects like
roaches and ants. Citrus can be a
natural flea deterrent. Some homeowners have had success planting
marigolds around their yards to
serve as a natural bug repellent because the flowers produce a scent
that many insects find repulsive.
Thai lemon grass plants also can
be used to keep mosquitoes at bay.
Remember, natural predators,
such as birds, bats, spiders, and
larger insects, feed on nuisance
bugs. Keeping these helpful predators around may be an effective
and natural way for homeowners
to control annoying pests.
If an insect problem seems out
of control or if you need a professional opinion about the damage
being done to your home or landscape, consult with an exterminator. Licensed exterminators have
the training and expertise to assess
insect concerns and create a plan of action that
will minimize the risk to inhabitants of your
home and nearby wildlife. An exterminator will
know what it takes to treat insects and maximize
the chances of removing the problem promptly
and effectively.
Warm weather is synonymous with many
things, including the return of insects. Homeowners may be able to treat unruly bugs on their
own, but especially problematic infestations may
require the help of experienced exterminators.

Griffith Wins
at Thompson Speedway

submitted by Eric LaFleche

Eighteen year-old Hudson native Derek
Griffith had a plan for the Thompson Speedway
Motorsports Park Icebreaker. The plan was to feel
good enough in his Pro Stock to compete for the
win at the five-eighth mile, high-banked oval.
His plan almost can to a realization as he
ended up with a runner-up finish in the 40-lap
Granite State Pro Stock Series (GSPSS) season
opening event.
Griffith, who is racing a freshly overhauled
Toyota Camry, stated he felt good in Saturdays
heat race until he started having stagger issues
with the tires. We were having a good heat, until
for some reason we started having stagger issues
and the handling went away quickly. We got it
dialed in for the feature.
Derek rolled off in the 10th starting position
on the 17-car GSPSS field, Griffith talks about the
beginning stages of the feature, Our MOMs of
Manchester/LCM Racing Toyota seemed good to
go for the feature and we were in the seventh or
eighth spot for the first 15 laps
or so and we were good until a caution came out
for the Todd [Stone] spin. Then we lost all of our
stagger and the car started pushing real bad but
we were still fast.
Griffiths car was one of the fastest on the track
and was tracking down race leader No. 5 Dillon
Moltz but simply ran out of laps and came home
with a clean car and a second-place finish.
The Granite State Pro Stocks are back in action
at Claremont Speedway in Claremont on April 24
for a 125-lap feature event.

Joey Pole to Compete in Dual Races

PMA Lacrosse Hosts

Hudson Recreation

submitted by Jimy Weaver

Saturday, April 18, will mark a few firsts for the Joey Pole Racing team. It will be the first ACT pointspaying event of the season and the first Pro All Stars Series North race of the season. It will also mark the
first time ever that both ACT and PASS will race together in a doubleheader event, and the No. 97 Poles
Automotive Ford Fusions will be competing in both races. Both series will compete in separate 150 lap
dual features this Saturday at Oxford Plains Speedway in Oxford, Maine.
Originally scheduled to be the second race of the season, Oxford now becomes race number one after
the Governors Cup 150 at Lee USA Speedway was postponed until April 26 due to the excessive snow
following the harsh winter.

Playing under the light on a Friday night there was excitement for these U9 teams.

I am really excited to be going back to a place where I had one

of my biggest wins. Were running both cars this weekend and its
going to be a lot of work to get both cars running great, but my team
can handle it,
Pole said.
With new backing from CigarPerforator.com, Joey and his team
will be competing to defend their 2014 ACT Championship. We
will be running the full ACT tour and the combo events with PASS.
Its been really exciting having CigarPerforator.com come on board.
They are a great young company and they are passionate about
racing, said Joey.
Post time for this Saturdays racing at Oxford is 2 p.m. For more
information check out JoeyPole.com and follow @JoeyPoleRacing
on Twitter.

Expand downstairs to maximize space and energy efficiency
(MS) - With home prices on the rise, finishing a basement is the
latest trend in real estate. More and more homeowners are enjoying
the perks of additional living space, a reduction in heating and
cooling costs, a healthier home, and, if done right, a more desirable
home when selling.
A finished basement can be used for virtually anything and may
offer multipurpose spaces the entire family can enjoy. Common uses
include additional storage or a media room, craft room, guest suite,
workshop, or gym. A little extra room can give a growing family
space to breathe and provide convenience for everyday life.
An unfinished basement can be a source of energy loss. By
finishing your basement, you can expect to see savings on your

heating and cooling costs. Industry experts

recommend finishing the space with the proper
framing, insulation and vapor barrier to guarantee a
cozy and inviting space. Insulation plays a key role
in the comfort of your newly remodeled space and
although its hidden within your walls, insulation
will make sure your space stays cool in the summer
and warm in the winter. Retailers suggest using
a stone wool insulation, such as ROXUL. This
recommendation is also fire and water repellent
and is resistant to mold, mildew, rot and bacterial
growth - making your space healthy and safe.
An added benefit to expanding downstairs
with a finished basement is the instant marketability. Many buyers
