$21.5 million and is completely funded by the local community.
One caveat is that Warrant Article 1 has to pass for Warrant Article 2 to
be viable.
At most school board meetings there isnt much of an audience,
but Monday saw many folks coming forward with statements and
questions about the renovation/addition project. There was support
for the greenhouse cost, which is one of the options tabled this week.
Replacement of the tennis courts was important to several speakers,
while there were also questions about the academic wing of the school
and its needs.
Many questions and statements dealt with confusion about the number
of students needed to have a class formed. Several speakers spoke
about the projects, and the importance of passing both warrant articles

property values. With effective bonding and economies of scale, doing

everything together would mean a lower cost than tackling the projects
separately.
While there are eight decisions to be made by the school board once
they see the operating budget for the upcoming year, the two questions
will be on the ballot in March.

Volunteers Ensure that Benson Park is Always Picturesque

by David S. Morin
Have you ever wondered as you walk through Benson Park how
the many gardens, picnic areas, pathways, and walking trails are
maintained? Most of this work is completed by volunteers on
a weekly basis and during several cleanup days each year. The
volunteers range from Benson Park Committee members, adopt a Lily Wagner,

apples, pinecones, and branches; to putting crushed asphalt along a
pathway in the Butterfly Garden.
Barbara Bouchard spent the day on her hands and knees weeding
one of the many gardens. She first became aware of the park after
her nephew spent many hours in the park enjoying the parks many
features and his love for fishing. Her nephew who was very fond
of the park passed away some time ago, but his one wish was to
have a tree planted in the park where the family could meet and
remember him. The boys wish became a reality when a tree was
planted within the park by his family. Today Barbara said the park
is worth all of her efforts, and she continues to volunteer in the park
participating in as many cleanup days as she can.
The mother-and-daughter team of Linda and Jessica Kipnes spent
several hours with rakes and shovels spreading crushed asphalt
along a path in the park. The Butterfly Garden is a project of the
Hudson Junior Womans Club of which Linda is a member. Along
with her daughter Jessica, who recently returned to her hometown,
Linda enjoys working in the park. Linda joins in on as many
cleanup days in the park each year as she is able. Since returning
home, Jessica has spent several hours a week in the park completing

So as not to confuse this new cemetery

Entering Westview Cemetery at 20 Burnham Road
When the Old Hudson Center Cemetery, located on the
Common, became nearly covered with graves, the need for
additional cemetery space in that part of town became apparent.
The Hudson Center Cemetery Association published its intentions
on the Oasis, a newspaper published in Nashua for three weeks in
a row, in accordance with the laws of the State of New Hampshire.
An initial meeting was held at the town house in Hudson Center,
now Wattannick Hall, on Dec. 4, 1849. At this meeting a set of by-
laws and a slate of officers were elected. Elected as directors were
Jefferson Smith, Joseph Dane, James Smith, 2nd, Dustin B. Smith,
and Daniel W. Robinson; Eli Hamblet was elected clerk and Amory
Burnham as treasurer.
The initial acreage for the cemetery was donated by Reuben
Greeley. This parcel is located to the right as you enter the
cemetery gate from Burnham Road. The cemetery was laid out
into large lots, most of which would allow for 12 burials so as to
accommodate large families and multiple generations. Between
each lot, space was allocated for walkways. The layout also
included streets wide enough so that horse and wagons, and later

called Clement Cemetery. I am not sure why

and it is known by that name today.

The Word Around Town...

Letters to our Editor
What about a Yearly Lottery make America great again. Was he promising us to go back to the past? As soon

to Help with School Issues?
Wow! When I read about the renovation, I said to myself we can do better.
First, I would get rid of the entire School Board. Id have a yearly lottery for
voters who wanted to be on a committee to oversee the projects for the schools.
It seems as though on a yearly basis we hear about issues with the schools. The
cost to the Town of Hudson appears to shovel out our hard earned money.
Second, I would get rid of 25 percent to 35 percent of the entire teachers. It
is time to put a stop to the olde fashion days of teaching classes of boredom.
Having teachers go by books only in boredom. Its time for on the hands
training. Where students in all classes have literally physical items to feel,
touch, walk around to see a new future that they can better understand what
they are holding and looking at. The world must not keep teaching years past.
The telephone wasnt only developed because of a book. It was developed by
physical materials and diagrams, with hand held trial and error.
Teaching in the schools is like that of a dinosaur. Think about it! We are
living in an era of technology. How is it that engineers build buildings, aka
schools, that dont last a century or more? Why? Like everything else in this
money hungry society, its built not to last! How about this, the original school
that is 10 years old needs another 15-20 year cycle. What foolishness; 10
pathetic years and it needs replacement. So lets build a theater, a gym, lets buy
an upgraded for a backbone system for only $350,000. My opinion, get a real
construction crew that provides a 100-year guarantee contract that makes the

Money Magazine published its Best Places to Live in America on

13 was Waltham, Mass., and 26 was Newton, Mass.; Nashua, N.H.,
who has been in the top 5 before, was 57th this year with Salem, N.H.,
coming in at number 82.
The number 1 spot was Fishers, Ind., as it is described as a booming

House instead the President offered wobbly words of disapproval without even
mention white supremacist. The pardon by President Trump to former Sheriff
Joe Arpaio, a man who forced American Latinos into tent cities he compared to
concentration camps, makes me ask the Making of America Great Again is to
make it, once again, white mans land? Regrettably the pardon of Arpaio is an
official presidential endorsement of racism. To Make America Great Again we
need a president who is not surrounded by cronies and white supremacist pals.
We need a president who believes in the rule of law and the rights of We the

Three Longtime HPD Officers Take New Roles

by Len Lathrop
When Captain Kevin DiNapoli took a new job in Massachusetts in
August, it created the need for a captain on the force. Under Chief
Jason Lavoie there are two captain positions. One is in charge of
operations; that slot is filled by William Avery, who has been with
Hudson PD since 1996. The other captains position is in charge of
all the administrative operations of the department. The list includes
all community support, school resource officers, information
management, records division, dispatch, animal control, the building
and the upkeep, the school crossing guards and the budget of the
department.
Chief Lavoie presented then Lieutenant Jason Lucontoni to replace
DiNapoli, which the selectmen approved in their last meeting in
August.
Lieutenant Lucontoni started his career in law enforcement with
the Town of Lyndeborough Police Department in July 1994. He
transitioned to the Rockingham County Sheriffs Department until
1996 when he joined the Hudson Police Department.
Lt. Lucontoni has served as a patrol officer, mountain bike officer,
detective, and detective sergeant with the department. During his
time assigned as a detective, he was temporarily reassigned to the
Attorney Generals Drug Task Force. Jason was very successful
during his time with the drug task force and served as both an
assistant team leader and as a team leader for approximately five
years. Jason has received numerous awards for his drug work.
He returned to the Hudson Police Department in 2007 from the
Attorney Generals Drug Task Force. Since his return, he has served
as detective, detective sergeant and was recently promoted in
2015 to lieutenant. He currently heads the departments Criminal
investigations Division where he supervises detectives and is
responsible for overseeing the investigations into all felony-level
crimes against people and property in the town of Hudson.
Lt. Lucontoni earned his associates degree in criminal justice from
Hesser College and has received countless thanks for his service to
the community as well as his dedication to reducing the amount of
drugs available on the streets and his role in providing informational
seminars on internet safety.
Jason and his wife, Dawn, reside in Bedford, N.H., with their two
children, Madison and Shea.
Lieutenant Lucontoni is dedicated to his job and has certainly
been an asset to the Hudson Police Department.
The promotion left a lieutenants position in the department
whereas Chief Lavoie recommended Sergeant Michael Gosselin, a
22-year veteran on the Hudson team. The selectmen also appointed
the sergeant to lieutenant. The newest lieutenant will be in charge of
the B Shift in the patrol division.
Sergeant Gosselin began his law enforcement career with the
Hudson Police Department on March 13, 1995. Upon graduation
from the New Hampshire 107th Police Academy in November
1995, Sergeant Gosselin was assigned to the patrol division. He
spent many summers patrolling as a member of the departments
motorcycle unit.
In July 1999 he was transferred to the Criminal investigation
Division. In January 2002, Sergeant Gosselin returned to the patrol
division as a master patrol officer and was promoted to the rank of
Sergeant on March 1, 2009. He has been instrumental in mentoring
new police officers assigned to his squad.
Sergeant Gosselin is a member of the Hudson Police Departments
Honor Guard. He spent many years volunteering for the New
Hampshire Special Olympics. He also spent many years at the
Special Olympics Winter Games at Waterville Valley and spring
track games held here in Hudson at Alvirne High School.
Sergeant Gosselin served in the United States Army from 1980 to
1983. He was a military police officer in Bremerhaven, Germany,
where he met his lovely wife Christine. He earned a criminal justice
degree from Hesser College. Mike and Christine have two children,
Jason and Lisa; both reside in Washington state.
Sergeant Gosselin is dedicated to his job and has certainly been
an asset to the Hudson Police Department.
As the open positions trickle down there was a need for a
Sergeant. Master Patrol Officer Steven McElhinney was promoted to
that slot he will be assigned to the B Shift of the Patrol Division.
Master Patrol Officer McElhinney began his law enforcement
career with the Hudson Police Department July 29, 2007. MPO
McElhinney graduated from the New Hampshire 144th Police
Academy. He holds a bachelors degree in history from the
University of Norwich.
MPO McElhinney is currently assigned to the C.O.P. Unit in the
Criminal investigations Division and as a tactical member of the
Southern New Hampshire Operations Unit. He is also a certified
field training officer.
MPO McElhinney is very loyal to the Hudson Police Department
and has spent time volunteering at the Red Cross blood drives,
Salvation Army, Toys for Tots, and Special Olympics. He received
a Life Saving Commendation Award in 2015 for his CPR assistance
with an unresponsive female subject. He also received a Chiefs
Achievement Award in 2015 for solving two theft cases.
MPO McElhinney is dedicated to his job and has certainly been
an asset to the Hudson Police Department.
There were many shifts of job duties with these promotions.
Hudson Police operate with a policy of officers roles changing
roughly even six months with the need rotation schedule for January
2018.
The following is from the HPD web page and just seems right,
especially with all the public stories we see in the national news.
Thankfully, Hudson advocates the following doctrine. In order to
best serve our community we employ many models of policing. In
1829, Sir Robert Peele (known as the father of modern policing)
said in his Nine Principles of Policing ... the people are the police
and the police are the people. He was talking about community
policing. Community Policing is the core model we work with. We
also use other methods of policing such as strategic planning and
data-driven policing in order to provide the professional police
service our community deserves. Embracing these philosophies and
being open to others, the police work in partnership with the public
to solve problems and fight crime.

to New Ipswich on Tuesday, Sept. 19 to play Tyler St Onge soars for
Mascenic. In a very ugly game that found the the ball against Belmont
Cougars down by two goals with 10 minutes at home.
left to play, Campbell dug deep and found their
rhythm. Junior Justin Furlong had four goals in
the game, two in those last 10 minutes, along
with a goal by David Latsha to give Campbell
the win. Earning assists were the teams three
captains Jake Scafidi, Nate Dillow, and Sean
Gannon. The Cougars outplayed and dominated
play throughout the game tallying 26 shots,
12 of them on goal. The defense had several
miscommunications that led to Mascenics four
goals, but still only allowed eight shots.
Campbell next plays at home today at 4 p.m.
(Friday, Sept. 22) against Laconia.
Campbell 0 (3-4) - Belmont 2 (4-1-1)
Campbell boys soccer struggled to put the ball
in the net. On Thursday, Sept. 14, the Cougars Justin Furlong uses his
controlled play for the majority of the game head to force a shot
against visiting Belmont, shooting the ball 25 past the Belmont goal
times. But the 12 shots they put on goal couldnt tender as Anthony
find the back of the net. Belmont, on the other Grieco tries to make
hand, had eight shots and scored on two of them. some space.
Senior Tyler Grant had a solid game on defense
for the Cougars. Campbells next game is at
Mascenic on Tuesday, Sept. 19.

Forward-thinking Yard Projects to Tackle as the Weather Cools Off

(BPT) - The temperature may not have dropped
just yet, but make no mistake, fall is coming. Soon
enough, baseball will give way to football, green
leaves will turn yellow and red and your lawn
care routine will take on a whole new set of tasks.
Fall lawn care isnt the long marathon of the sum-
mer yard season, but it packs plenty of work into a
few short months before the winter. You can make
this lawn care blitz a little bit easier by applying
the following tips.
* Stimulate your lawn. While your grass may
no longer need its weekly mowing in the fall, you
cant ignore it until spring. Look for brown, tan
or white patches on your lawn, as this can be a
sign of mold growth. Apply a lawn fungicide to
halt this growth and an organic fertilizer to stop its
spread and support future root growth.
* Blow those leaves away. Raking leaves can
be a Herculean task, so simplify the process by
investing in a lithium-ion blower. The Greenworks
60-volt Backpack Blower is a heavy-duty solution
perfect for homeowners with a quarter to three-
quarters of an acre to cover. And for yard-lovers
that prefer a handheld blower, Greenworks has
you covered there too! Both solutions are light-
weight and reduce noise while eliminating emis-
sions, and because theyre battery powered, you
dont have to bother with mixing gas and oil.
* Seed and sod. If you do notice patches of
dead grass in your yard - a common occurrence
if fallen leaves have not been blown away - dont
wait until spring to address the issue. Over-seed-
ing the area can rectify the problem if the spaces
are small. If your lawn has significant portions that
have died, it may be time to look into sodding op-
tions instead for more comprehensive coverage.
* A fresh spray clean. A seasons worth of wind
and rain can leave the sides of your home looking
pretty dingy. Fall cleanup is the perfect time to
give your home a reset by spraying down your
siding, decks, and patios. Greenworks 2200 PSI
Electric Pressure Washer is an environmentally
friendly gas-alternative solution with five nozzles
that allow you to adjust the tools water pressure
based on the task at hand. The pressure washer is
also designed with Smart Response Technology to
adjust motor RPMs as nozzles are changed, ensur-
ing the perfect water flow for every job - and the
on board LED display guides you to the best job
for each nozzle, letting you clean your home in a
smart, efficient way.
* A hole in the ground supports future growth.
Fall is arguably the best time of year to aerate your
yard, allowing water, oxygen and fertilizer to more
easily reach the root structure of your grass. Self-
propelled aerators are relatively inexpensive, and
you can also rent one if you plan to make this a
once-a-year chore. Whatever you decide, tackling
this chore now will allow your lawn to grow back
thicker and fuller next year when it will be time to
start thinking about spring lawn care once again.

The Campbell girls soccer team went 1-1 in this
weeks action. On Sept. 18, the girls traveled to
Raymond and suffered their first loss of the season.
Despite losing 1-0, Campbell continued to impress
on defense as Raymonds constant pressure resulted
in few scoring chances. Campbell and Raymond
exchanged pressure for 67 minutes until Raymond
forced and capitalized on a corner kick for the only
score of the game. The Campbell strikers Madison
Greenhalgh and Erin Douglas pressed for the tying
goal pushing the field in the final 13 minutes. When
the final whistle blew, both teams walked away with
identical records of 5-1-1. Strong play was turned in
at midfield by Autumn Thompson and Caitlyn Rossi
with effective defense from Carolyn Fletcher and
Kate Stoncius.
Earlier, on Friday, Sept. 15, the girls faced
defending state champions Fall Mountain at home in

rain-soaked conditions. The girls found
themselves down for the first time all
season early in the second half when Fall
Mountain capitalized on a rare Campbell defensive
breakdown. The girls responded accordingly by
turning up the heat. Senior Caitlyn Rossi took a
back pass from freshman Karleigh Shultz and beat
the left halfback to the corner where she lifted a
cross that connected with Sara Keene at the 15-yard
mark to tie the game 1-1. Campbell continued to
pressure Fall Mountain capitalizing at the 60-minute
mark when Schultz followed up her early sequence
with a strike from the 25-yard mark that found the
top left corner of the net. Campbell stood strong the
final 20 minutes to hand Fall Mountain its first loss
of the season and first loss since the 2015 season.
