Changes at
Hudson Fire
Department
by Lynne Ober
Five of eight call reghters resigned from
the Hudson Fire Department slightly more
than a month ago. These reghters will
be missed and are a loss to the department,
said Hudson Fire Chief Rob Buxton, but
we are still fully staffed for all needs.
Buxton characterized all his call reghters
including those who resigned, as the best of
the community.
Decades ago Hudsons Fire Department
began as an all-call re department and
then in the 80s and 90s full-time staff
was approved and hired to support the call
department. As the years passed, more full-
time staff was added and, today there is a
role reversal with the call staff supporting
the full-time staff. Call reghters are
also well trained and very dedicated, said
Buxton.
It used to be that employers would
allow call reghters to leave their jobs to
respond to a call, but today the working
environment has evolved and that is not
the case, said Buxton, who noted that in
the past most of the reghters lived in
Hudson. That is one reason that many re
departments moved to a model of full-time
reghters while continuing to train and use
call reghters as well.
Buxton said that regionally statistics
are kept and shared by other re chiefs,
and these statistics show that today a
call reghter will average between
18 and 24 months of service to a re
department. Our call staff is made up
of trained reghters who bring a lot to
the community so when there is turnover
in stafng; each reghter who resigns is
missed. However, we all have families
and full-time jobs so a call reghter
is balancing all facets of his life and
sometimes something has to give.
If a call reghter from the 20s returned
to look at todays reghters, he would
be amazed at the changes. Today each
reghter goes through state training
and gets certied, has more advanced
equipment than before, is required to
participate in continuing training and
responds to a wider variety of incidents.
For a call reghter there is a monthly
training commitment as well as a
commitment to respond to calls.
When former Fire Chief Shawn Murray
was Hudson assistant chief, he began the
ride-along program, and still today each
call reghter must complete a minimum
of 4 hours each month in this program, but
may opt to complete up to 14 hours each
month. While these are paid hours devoted
to training and working with the Hudson
reghting team, the hours are also hours
away from other things such as family.
Buxton said that he and his staff are
reviewing the role of call reghters and
looking for ways to retain them once they
join the force. Buxton said that if someone
wants to become a call reghter, but has
had no training, the town will invest nearly
$10,000 before that person is ready to
respond to a call. There are a number of
steps from getting a physical, which we pay
for, purchasing protective clothing, getting
certied training from the state and then
getting internal training. Because of that
cost we are reviewing how we can retain
our call reghters.
Buxton also noted that while there are
nationally recognized standards, there are
differences from department to department.
We might staff one of our apparatus with
three reghters while another department
would staff that same type of apparatus
with four reghters, and thats why
monthly training will be needed even
if a call reghter serves at another re
department.
Buxton complimented the work done
by Captain Dave Morin as he manages
the departments Explorer troop. We
have gotten several call reghters from
the members of the Explorer Troop, said
Buxton, and some members have become
full-time reghters in other departments.
Buxton cited Tommy Sullivan as an example
of an Explorer who rst because a call
reghters and then became a full-time
member of the department; Buxton noted
there were others.
Since the resignations, full-time staff
members have responded. Buxton said he
sees a continued role for call reghters
now and into the future. As with all facets
of any organization, we need to review and
perhaps revise the role that call reghters
currently play. We want them to feel like a
part of the team when they respond to a call
with full-time permanent staff. The ride-
along program is one was to accomplish
that.

Hudson reghters twice traveled to Boston, Mass., to give a nal farewell to
Boston Fireghter Michael Kennedy and Boston Fire Lieutenant Edward Walsh. Both
died in the line of duty while battling a nine-alarm re on Beacon Street. Some
tough days for the re service, thousands of reghters from across the United States
and the world paid tribute to Boston Fire Lieutenant Walsh. And again, on April 3,
all gathered once again to honor Fireghter Kennedy.

The Hudson Community Center was buzzing Saturday
morning as multiple little faces enjoyed breakfast prepared
by Lynne Ober
Once again, the community turned out to support the annual Fireghters
Association Ham and Bean Supper. As always Warrens Magical Beans
were the star of the buffet line, but this year there was a new twist. Last fall
Litcheld reghters had a chili contest at their fall open house and Lt. Clancy
made the winning chili. His chili was featured at the ham and bean supper
and, according to Paul Allard, the winning chili from each years fall open
house will make a guest appearance at the ham and bean supper.
Scouts from Boy Scout Troop 11 were ready and willing to help diners. They
carried trays full of food to tables and then ensured that the tables were clean
once dinners were done.
Half way into the rst hour of service 71 people had already come to enjoy
the dinner, talk with neighbors and just enjoy an evening out. Every year the
Manchester Motorcycle Club, a family club for bikers in the area, comes to
this event. The Litcheld reghters help the community, and we like to
attend this event as a club, said Club President Ed Kobisky. We are family
oriented and like to do community events.
As tables lled, diners just arriving started waving at friends and neighbors
they hadnt seen in a long time. We just like to get the community together,
said Warren Adams, who smiled as he gazed around the room.
For the rst time the Litcheld Fireghters Association is also selling T-shirts.
These attractive black shirts have the reghter association patch on front and

HUDSON WATER MAINS FLUSHED
As part of an ongoing maintenance program, Pennichuck Water will be
conducting water main and hydrant flushing for two weeks in the Town
of Hudson, Sunday, April 13, 2014 to April 17, 2014, and Sunday,
April 20, 2014 to April 24, 2014 from 10:00 pm to 6:00 am.
This program involves opening flushing valves to create increased
water flows which dislodge and clean out naturally occurring sedi-
mentation in the pipelines. It may cause minor flooding of streets
and slight discoloration of water and/or a short period of low pres-
sure. Please avoid washing clothes during the dates and times
detailed above.
Flushing is done to maintain water quality throughout the distribu-
tion system. The Company reassures customers the water is safe to
drink and any discoloration should clear up after the water is run a
few minutes.
Please visit our website at www.pennichuck.com for more
information.

and Horticulture at the Connecticut Agricultural
Experiment Station; and Mariko Yamasaki,

Service Northern Research Station in Durham.
According to Inge Seaboyer, program forester,
NH Division of Forests and Lands and Co-Chair
for the NESAF conference, Everyone enjoyed
touring the woodlot and being introduced to both
the ongoing management and Alvirnes natural
resources program by Mike Gagnon and his
students. The location was a great spot for lively
discussions on topics such as wildlife habitat
opportunities and current forest health issues.
Mike Gagnon, forestry teacher commented:
Hosting the tour was a great opportunity for
my students to meet other professionals, both
male and female, in the forest industry from
around New England, including foresters,
wildlife biologists, and forest health specialists.
The tour included approximately eight stops
where we showcased the ongoing management
activities that Alvirne students are involved in on
the approximately 85-acre tree farm at Alvirne
in forestry and natural resources classes. The
students gained insights into forest management
techniques that benet forest tree health, water
quality, soils, and wildlife from leading experts in
the eld.

submitted by K. Sullivan
Litcheld Middle School celebrated Baseballs
Opening Day with a baseball party held right
in the LMS cafeteria. After a treat of popcorn
from the PTO, students could purchase fun
ballpark food like ice cream and
hotdogs from PTO volunteer
hawkers. Baseball pencils and
toys, along with bigger prizes
donated by local businesses like
Lix Ice Cream, Converse, ONeil
Cinemas, Mels Funway, and the
Fisher Cats, made the day a win
for everyone. After lunch, students
went outside where the Litcheld

of their pitches (rumor has it that
some of the fastest exceeded 42
mph!) Organized by the LMS
PTO and LMS Staff, it was a great
a way to bring the school together

A Special Treat for
Hudson Seniors
by Lori A. Bowen, Hudson Senior Services Coordinator
Hello my friends! Another week and more exciting changes and things to share about the new Senior
Center
We had ve new friends join us at Coffee Club this Tuesday, welcome to all of you. It is such a pleasure
to meet new people and we are so glad you are taking time to join us. As always thank you to Mary and
her helper Dot for making the very best coffee.
We are still playing Mah Jongg on Tuesday mornings, and we have added Whist and Bridge; they are
having a ball. Come down on Tuesday mornings to see what it is all about.
The date has been set. Mark your calendars for May 31. This is the ribbon cutting and open house for
the new building that will be our new home. We will have more information coming soon as to the time
and events planned for the day. There is a lot of work that still needs to be nished between now and then
so lets hope Mother Nature is on our side!
Thank you to the middle school for inviting us to come see the play Annie this week. The drama and
music departments always do such a wonderful job, and we are so pleased to have been invited. Good
luck to the student performers, break a leg! Congratulations on another successful year, and good luck
this weekend.
World Book Day is coming to the Senior Center. Charlie Matthews, head librarian for the Rodgers
Memorial Library, is going to be joining us on April 23 for World Book Day. He is bringing with him
copies of The Zookeepers Wife by Diane Ackerman. This is a wonderful event and we are so excited to
have Mr. Matthews join us and make us a part of World Book Day.
I am looking for help to organize Bingo for when we move over to the new building. Our room is
much smaller than the Community Center and so we are going to have to make a few alterations to the
way Bingo is run to accommodate the most people possible. If you are interested in helping me with this
task please join me for a discussion on April 22, at 1:30 p.m. at the Community Center. If you are unable
to attend and want to have some input, please stop by and see me or leave a note. You can also email me
at lbowen@hudsonnh.gov.

Litchfelds Tird Annual
Easter Egg Hunt
Te Easter Bunny stopped by Granite State American
Kenpo to accept a donation for Litchfelds third annual
Easter egg hunt. Te Litchfeld Playgroup will host
this years egg hunt on Sunday April 13 at 1 p.m. at
Roy Memorial Park in Litchfeld. Te egg hunt is being
sponsored by Te Litchfeld Pickleball Association and
co-sponsored by Target, Granite State American Kenpo,
Hudson Grand Rental, Hannaford of Hudson and Te
Home Depot of Londonderry. Target has donated the
grand prize baskets and silly faced egg prizes, which
consists of 14 large baskets full of toys and goodies and
over 75 smaller prizes. Granite State American Kenpo
(GSAK) has donated over 1,500 plastic Easter eggs, four
pizza parties for 20 friends, money towards the food
concession, and 500 two weeks free coupon that every
child will receive in their participation bags. GSAK will
also have three instructors at the egg hunt to teach and
allow children to break a re-breakable board. Each child
will then receive a pass to GSAKs studio to break a
real board. Hudson Grand rental is donating a portion
of the bounce house and hot dog steamer fee. Both
Hannaford and Te Home Depot donated $25 towards
the food concession and feld material. Again this year
Magician Stephanie Beach will be performing on the
spot magic tricks as well as a full performance on stage.
Wumples the Clown will be making balloon animals for
the children and once again the Easter Bunny will be
making a special appearance at1:15 p.m. so make sure
to bring your camera!
Tis years event, as in past years, is free to all
Litchfeld children. However, donation buckets will
be left out at the food concession stand and parents are
more than welcomed to contribute if they are able to,
but not obligated to, to insure that this event can be
carried out in the future. Te Easter Egg Hunt is for
Litchfeld children and their parents and will be held on
April 13 at 1 p.m. Both Manchester and Hudson have
similar events for their children, so this one is just for
the Litchfeld kids.
Te annual Easter egg hunt has been organized and
is hosted by Te Litchfeld Playgroup. Te Litchfeld
Playgroup, a division of the Litchfeld Recreation
commission, was formed for the children of Litchfeld
and surrounding communities to help socialize them
early in life. Te Litchfeld Playgroup meets once a
week for one hour of parallel play and group play for
the children in our communities.

A Future Speech from the President?
Im in awe that I recently received a request from the
White House to draft a presidential speech to be given at a
future date.
My draft of the speech sent back to the White House:
Good evening citizens of America and the world. From
this day forward (presidents are keen on that lingo) All
of our members of all our armed forces from around the
world, and we have too many of them around the world,
will begin the process of returning to American soil and
that process will be complete in 6 months from this date.
Our armed forces will no longer protect U.S. based
corporations in foreign countries, especially those U.S.
based corporations that avoid paying billions of dollars in
U.S. corporate taxes with their of-shore secret tax diversion
schemes and hidden bank accounts. Our armed forces
remaining in any foreign countries will be specifcally to
provide security for our embassies and consulates and their
stafs.
Tis decision has been made for the above reasons
but also to convey a sincere message to every country
and nation around the world, that we must all inhabit
together, that the United States of America is a peace
loving nation, even though we possess and too often use,
the most efective and lethal military forces on this planet.
Tis government and the citizens of the United States
understand that we have and will always have adversaries in
too many places, many of which we have too often created
with our attitude and behavior; but we now collectively
hope that will all begin to change; so that we can begin a
process of true respect for each others diferent cultures
and societies. But its also very important to have a mutual
understanding with any adversaries, that even though most
of our military personnel are returning to our soil, we will
always have the full capability to send our military forces to
the front doors of any adversaries carrying out hostile acts.
Our responses to signs of impending or actual hostile acts
will be swift and lethal, a capability that has already been
well documented.
It is now the heart-felt wish of this government and its
citizens that this decision will begin a new way of life for all
citizens of this planet earth, to sense a new freedom from
fear and tyranny at the hands of their own governments
or evil forces outside of their own country, such as we
have done in the past by trying to overthrow existing
governments.
Te government of the United States will now begin
to fully support the United Nations peace keeping forces
around the world that American taxpayers have already
been supporting with billions of tax dollars for decades, we
will no longer take any military action on our own; except
to protect our embassies and consulates. And fnally, the
government and citizens of the United States are looking
forward to begin redirecting billions of their tax dollars to
the urgent and critical needs of America and its citizens.
I would like to conclude this Presidential Speech to
American citizens and the world with my singing for all of
you, Joy to the World.
Te above possible future speech from the White House
is a Post April Fools ofering, for we are all fools to think
such an event will ever happen in our life time.

New Hampshire Region, Nashua
Response to Letter by Margaret
Femia on Weather Whys Story
Tanks for your reply and thank you for the
opportunity to set the record straight.
Climate is always changing. Our current climate
is remarkably benign compared to the past. Tis last
century continued the recovery from the ice age of prior
centuries. We warmed from the 1920s to 1940s, cooled
to the 1970s, warmed to the 1990s then have stabilized
and begun to cool again this century. Tis temperature
pattern fts to a tee the natural multidecadal changes in
the oceans and solar cycles.
Te UN commissioned greenhouse theory based
climate models continue to fail miserably because they
ignore the real climate drivers. We dont live in the
virtual world of the models but in the real world where
only real data matters.
When the earth did warm from the 1970s to 1990s, it
was in northern latitudes only and that warming stopped
18 years ago. Tere has been no warming in the tropical
atmosphere and oceans for 35 years as shown by balloons,
satellite and buoys that measure temperatures down to
300 meters. Tis is the area where all the greenhouse
models forecast warming would be most robust. Tere
has been no increase in drought or food (NOAA), or
heat waves (the 1930s holds 23 of the 50 state records, 38
came before 1960 and there were more cold record than
heat records since the 1940s). Hurricanes globally are
at a 34 year low. Tornadoes in 2013 were 142 less than
any other year on record and the number of forest fres in
the US last year was the lowest in the record since 1984.
Tese events will happen, always have and always will but
man is not responsible.
You seemed most concerned about sea levels. Te
sea level hype has gone on for decades with promises
of global increases of 20 feet by Gore and even 264
feet by Hansen. In actual fact, the global sea level rises
have slowed dramatically to an average of less than 4
inches a century. NOAA US tide gauges are rising at
an average rate of 3.6 inches/century. See this story by
Nils Axel Morner, the worlds foremost sea level expert.
http://www.21stcenturysciencetech.com/Articles_2011/
Winter-2010/Morner.pdf.
Bangladesh is seeing sea levels rise because the land is
sinking, as it is along the Mid Atlantic. Tere has been
no rise in sea level at Tuvalu or the Maldives, the poster
children of the scare the world program of the UN. Te
author you mentioned to me, Church is a UN IPCC
chapter co-lead author and his projections are based on
adjusted data and model projections. Dont buy into the
disinformation, they are peddling. It is driven by politics.
Te real threat comes not from warming but potential
continued acceleration into colder conditions. Solar
scientists have warned of a major cooling from greatly
diminished solar activity, down already 60 percent since
1990. Tat would be far more problematic for the world
food production and energy needs than an imperceptible,
gentle warming.
Tis is the 212 year solar cycle that caused the last
mini ice age in the early 1800s and the major one in the
1600s that caused crop failures and famine and disease.
Russian (http://en.ria.ru/russia/20060825/53143686.
html). German, UK, American (NASA http://www.
skyandtelescope.com/news/216752671.html) and many
other scientists are warning of this but Washington has
ignored it. While we chase a phantom warming based on
a failed theory, many worry we may get slammed from a
very diferent, far more threatening change. Cold is far
more dangerous and deadly than warmth.
But many politicians and the environmentalists are
determined to destroy our fossil fuel energy industry even
as we discover we are blessed with the worlds greatest
supply, all to allegedly save the planet, but in reality to
gain even more control over our lives. Tey put us all
in jeopardy of even more unafordable or unavailable
energy in an increasingly brutal climate. Europe has
discovered that renewables are not yet the answer. Te
wind farms will be dismantled starting next year in the
UK and Germany is building 24 new coal fred plants.
Tey awoke to the reality that those that can aford it the
least, the poor and middle class, were hurt most by bad,
idealistic, feel good policies.

Great Turnout at Rabies Clinic
Huge thanks are expressed by all the members of the
Litchfeld Historical Society for a fantastic Rabies Clinic
held on April 6, 2014. Te turnout of appreciative pet
owners was so large we ran out of Rabies Vaccine.
Dr. Sarah Garland, Melissa Sheldon and other
Countryside Animal Hospital staf donated their
personal weekend time. Dr. Garland and Dr.
Herrrmann donated the Rabies Vaccine as a public
service. Linda Lovejoy, owner of the Fur N Feathers
Pet Spa once again hosted the event, opening her doors
to over 100 pets. Terri Briand, Litchfeld Town Clerk
and Tax Collector, was on hand to register Litchfeld
dogs, a benefcial convenience and again an example of
personal time volunteerism.
Heidi Hale Miller, Art teacher at the Grifn
Memorial School provided engaging Cat and Dog
posters created by her students. Paula Barry, Graphic
Arts teacher at Campbell High School once again tasked
her students with the assignment of designing posters.
Tese posters were place in businesses in Litchfeld,
Hudson and Londonderry. Te Hudson Litchfeld
News, Te Nashua Telegraph and the Manchester
Union Leader all published our announcements and
we at the Society are grateful for the opportunity to
advertise our community service event.
Again, on behalf of all the members of the Litchfeld
Historical Society, genuine thanks to all who helped
support the promotion of pet health. We know how
important their well being is to our own.

More Record Cold Winters on the Horizon
by Joseph DAleo, CCM
This was for the nation one of the coldest winters on record, a
throwback to the late 1970s when the world was worried about a
coming ice age. Many cities in the north central had their coldest
winter ever going back into the 1800s. In Wisconsin, the October to
March period was the coldest since 1895. Chicago had the coldest
November to March period since records began in 1872. It was
also among the snowiest - third snowiest ever in Chicago, second in
Detroit and Philadelphia.
What was most remarkable was how persistent the pattern
has been since November. The warm interludes were brief. The
snow did not come in monstrous snows like 2013 but in frequent
moderate events.
Polar Vortex
Yes, you can blame it on the now infamous polar vortex.
Meteorologists know it is not new but a permanent feature of the
Polar Regions. It is an upper-level low pressure enclosing the
coldest air in the hemisphere and is their winter and summer. In
winter it expands unevenly (driven by other factors). In 2009-2010
it expanded into the U.S. and brought a record cold winter to the
southeast. In December 2010, it was displaced to near the UK,
where it brought the second coldest December since the Little Ice
Age in 1659 and later in the winter the U.S. where it brought big
snows. The vortex took aim at Alaska, Europe and China in the last
two winters but this year it was North Americas turn.
This year, it was a warm ocean pool in the Gulf of Alaska that
buckled the jet stream and anchored the polar vortex over central
North America. This drove persistent cold from the Canadian arctic
into the central and eastern U.S. with a steady stream of storms and
frequent snows and many below zero nights. Chicago had the third
most sub-zero days, other locations like Green Bay, the most ever.
The result of all the cold was 92.2 percent of the Great Lakes froze
solid, the greatest since 1978-1979. On April 1, the Great Lakes
were still 69.1 percent ice covered, around 700 percent of normal.
A mass of Siberian air, typically 10-20 colder than Canadian arctic
air, was captured in January and really amplied the vortex into the
central states. Thats when the media became enthralled with the
term, polar vortex.
The media in general though has not acknowledged that global
warming stopped almost 18 years ago (why it is now called climate
change) and in the U.S. winter temperatures have cooled for 20
years (2.26F.). Here in the northeast region, the two decade cooling
was 1.2F. Snow, which was supposed to be rare by 2010, instead
is occurring at a record pace. In the eastern states, we have had 14
high impact snowstorms this decade (just four years in), beating out
the 1960s, which had 11 events,
But some might say, Yes, it was cold and snowy, but that is
weather, not climate, and we hear 97 percent of scientists agree our
climate is warming.
97% Consensus
The late, great Dr. Michael Crichton wrote, Historically the claim
of consensus has been the rst refuge of scoundrels; it is a way to
avoid debate by claiming the matter is already settled.
Surveys of the public and economists nd global warming at the
bottom of their priorities. Those pushing the warming theory have
been trying to convince you that your gut instinct this might be hype
--based on your wearing out your snowblower and all the snow days
eating away our childrens summer vacation and of course those fuel
bills-- is wrong by telling you theres a 97 percent consensus of the
worlds climate scientists.
The rst 97 percent study was an email survey of 10,000
scientists that in the end tallied only the responses from just 77
climate scientists who had published on climate. They asked (1) is
it now warmer than 1800 (the Little Ice Age) and
(2) does man play an important role in climate?
The answer to both is yes. Surprisingly only 97
percent agreed. We are fortunately not now in a
Little Ice Age and, yes, man through urbanization
and land use changes, has an effect on local climates. Another
literature study survey that proclaimed 97 percent consensus has
been debunked by follow-up peer review, and a rework of the rst
study was rejected by the journals.
That did not stop the American Association for the Advancement
of Science and the administration from using 97 percent as rationale
for the policies that Hollywood and environmentalists (both with
plenty of money to fund election campaigns) are pushing for.
The Oregon Petition (http://www.petitionproject.org) meanwhile
lists 31,487 legitimate scientists and 9,029 PhDs who agreed there
is no convincing scientic evidence that the human release of CO2
or other greenhouse gases will cause in the foreseeable future a
catastrophic warming and disruption of the climate, and, moreover,
there are many benets of CO2, an essential element of plant
photosynthesis.
Benets of CO2 Enrichment
Indeed, increased CO2 is a plant fertilizer, not a pollutant.
Nurseries pump it into the greenhouses. It also makes plants more
drought resistant, reducing water needs. Yields for rice, corn,
beans and wheat have increased 3 to 5 fold worldwide since the
1960s. Corn yields have increased 6 fold in the U.S. as CO2 rose
and are expected to double again by 2030 according to Dr. Perry,
an economist at the University of Michigan. The economic benet
from increased crop production by CO2 enrichment may total $9.8
trillion by 2050. http://www.co2science.org/education/reports/
reportarch.php
The carbon pollution they now talk about is really soot. Soot
has been virtually eliminated by scrubbers here in the U.S. where
particulates are well below current EPA standards but is a problem in
China without scrubbers on their coal plants.
The real threat to our physical and economic health comes
not from warming and CO2 but potential continued acceleration
into colder conditions while we pursue unwise and unnecessary
environmental regulations and energy policies.

Police Department
Members of the Hudson Police
and Fire departments responded to
Dugout Road for a reported motor
vehicle collision on the afternoon
of March 29. Upon arrival it was
determined that this was a single-
vehicle collision. The vehicle, a
2005 Chevy Impala, was traveling
east bound on Dugout Road
when the driver collided with the
supporting cable of a telephone
pole. Though the pole itself was
undamaged, the impact of the
collision caused a power outage for
various homes on Dugout Road.
PSNH was contacted and a crew
responded to the scene. The
driver was identied as Jeremy
Wallace, 20, of Pelham. Wallace
was not injured in the collision.
Further investigation revealed
that Wallace was attempting
to access an electronic device
which diverted his attention.
Wallace was issued a citation
for Negligent Driving and is
scheduled to appear in the 9th
Circuit Court on April 17. Speed
and alcohol do not appear to be
factors in this collision.

How to Inspect for Roof Damage
How to Repair and
Replace Window Screens
Many homeowners do not think twice about
their roofs. But when leaks develop, roof repairs
and the subsequent costs of such work shed light
on how important it is for homeowners to pay
closer attention to the roofs over their heads.
Though certain roof issues, like shingles lost to
inclement weather, are unforeseeable, many prob-
lems can be avoided with routine roof inspec-
tion. Checking roof conditions twice a year can
help homeowners avoid potentially costly repair
work or even more expensive roof replacement
projects.
Spring is a good time to inspect roofs, which are
often at the mercy of harsh conditions throughout
the winter. Heavy snow, ice and biting winds can
do signicant damage, making spring the perfect
time to assess if any such damage occurred and
address any issues.
* Start the inspection in the interior of the
home. Before breaking out the ladder and climb-
ing up to the roof, inspect the homes interior, pin-
pointing potential problems that may indicate roof
damage. Check for stains on the ceiling which
may indicate leaks that need to be addressed. Ho-
meowners with attics should enter their attics and
look for signs of water
damage, making note of
any damp or wet insula-
tion. This will let you
know if water has been
entering the attic all
winter. Pay attention to
the location of any wet
spots or stains so you
can match them up to
the exterior of the roof
later on. Musty smells
also may be indicative
of moisture problems,
even if there are no vis-
ible leaks.
* Inspect the roof
outside. Grab a set of
binoculars and inspect
the exterior of the
roof. Look at the roof
ashing, including around the chimney and other
areas of protruding pipes and vents. If the ashing
is warped or damaged, moisture might be settling
underneath. Sealant around dormers or skylights
can also degrade, resulting in leaks. Check for
spalling on masonry, such as the mortar of chim-
neys. Porous areas will allow water to inltrate.
* Go directly on the roof and check. Work with
a partner and carefully climb on the roof while
someone holds the ladder below. Walk on the pe-
rimeter of the roof, looking for peeling or warped
shingles, missing shingles, holes, or scrapes. If
the roof is compromised in any way, it will need
to be repaired. The problem will only grow more
signicant and repairs more expensive if damage
is ignored. Sometimes a repair can be as simple
as patching a leak with a new shingle and roong
cement. Popped nails can be pounded down and
any curled shingles can be nailed or cemented
back into place.
* Consult a roong expert. If you are unsure if
your roof has made it through the winter un-
scathed and would like a second opinion or if
you nd there is considerable damage, contact a
roong contractor. This person will offer a profes-
sional assessment of what can be repaired or if the
roof should be replaced. If your roof is metal or
features clay tiles, you may not have the expertise
to make repairs yourself and will need to hire a
professional.
* Check the gutters, too. While you are up on
the roof, inspect the gutters and downspouts as
well. Cracked or damage gutters will cause water
to leak down the side of the home, potentially
damaging the foundation. Clear any debris or left-
over leaves from the gutters to ensure the rain can
wash through
unobstructed.
A post-
winter roof
inspection
can protect
homeown-
ers and their
families from
the elements
and reduce the likelihood of potentially costly
repairs down the road.
Window screens can let fresh air into a home
while preventing insects and outdoor critters from
making their way inside. But screens are far less
effective at keeping critters out of a home when
theyre damaged.
Addressing such damage is typically an easy
do-it-yourself project, one that begins with gather-
ing the right materials, including:
* new screening, either synthetic or aluminum
* a rubber spline
* a screen rolling tool
* a razor knife or sharp scissor
* measuring tape
* masking tape
* a screwdriver or an awl
Once those materials have been gathered, the
process of replacing or repairing damaged screens
is rather simple.
1. Measure the area of the window to determine
how much replacement screening you will need.
Remember to leave extra room in your measure-
ments so you have slack to make the new screen
t taut. The measurement will also help you deter-
mine how much spline you will need.
2. Remove the screen from the window frame.
Some windows do not have removable screen
frames, and you will have to work on the screen
in its upright position.
3. Use the screwdriver or awl to pry the edge
of the existing spline that holds the screening
material in the frame. Pull out the old spline and
remove the damaged screening.
4. Measure the new screening from a replace-
ment roll. Lay the screening down on the frame,
ensuring there is overhang on all sides. If neces-
sary, use masking tape to temporarily secure the
screening to the frame while freeing up your
hands. This also works if you must replace screen-
ing vertically and cannot remove the window
frame and make repairs on a at surface.
5. Take a new piece of rubber spline and push it
into the edge of the screen frame, securing a cor-
ner of the new screening to the frame. Continue to
press the spline around the perimeter of the screen
frame rmly into the groove with the screen roll-
ing tool, which looks like a small pizza cutter. This
effectively secures the screen into the frame.
6. Continue around the edge of the frame, pull-
ing the new screening taut as you go. This helps to
keep it free of wrinkles.
7. Once you have inserted the
spline all the way around, cut it off
from the spline spool and push in
the edge.
8. Use a razor knife or sharp
scissor to cut off the excess screen-
ing, being careful not to dislodge
it from behind the spline when
cutting.
9. Replace the screen in the
window.
In the case of small tears in a
screen, a complete replacement
may not be necessary. Home im-
provement stores sell screen patch
kits. Some work by cutting out a
piece of patch that is attached to
an adhesive backing and sticking
it over the hole. Other patches are
small, woven wires that can be
threaded through the hole in the
screen. A really small hole can
be mended with a drop of clear-
drying glue.
The same method of screen re-
placement can be used to replace
screens on screened-in porches,
aluminum doors or sliding patio
doors. Just be sure to purchase
replacement screening that will t
the dimensions.

Equip Your Home with a Sump Pump and Backup Battery
In 2012,
hundreds
of miles of
coastline
along the
northeast-
ern United
States
were bat-
tered and
decimated
due to Hurricane Sandy. More than a year later,
many homeowners were still dealing with the
consequences of the devastating storm.
Hurricane Sandy illustrated just how destruc-
tive water can be. Each year, storms across
North America have the potential to ood
homes or cause water to enter the basement
or rst oor. According to the National Flood
Insurance Program, a mere six inches of water
in a 2,000 square foot home can cause around
$40,000 in damage. Homeowners looking to
avoid such damages can rely on sump pumps
and backup emergency systems to keep sublev-
els dry and safe.
Sump pumps are frequently used in homes
at risk of ooding or in homes where the water
table is above the foundation of the home.
Sump pumps remove water that has accumu-
lated in a water collecting sump basin built into
the foundation of the home. Water may enter
through perimeter drains (French drains) built
into the basement or directly through the sump
basin itself. The pump will send the water away
from the house through a series of pipes that
could drain into a dry well, into a municipal
storm drain or at the curb.
Many sump pumps are hard-wired into a
homes electrical system and will automati-
cally turn on when the water level in the sump
basin has risen enough to trigger the pump. A
otation device built into the pump will rise
enough to turn on the pump, which will then
dispel the water until the device returns to its
regular level.
When operating correctly, sump pumps are
effective at removing water and keeping base-
ments and crawl spaces dry. However, in the
event of a power outage, which is common
when strong winds accompany ooding rains,
a sump pump is rendered useless unless there
is a backup battery attached to the sump pump.
Having a battery hooked up to a sump
pump, or a backup sump pump that is battery-
powered, can give homeowners peace of mind
in any storm. A backup plan ensures the pump
will still be able to remove water for a certain
period of time until electricity is restored to
the home. Another option is to make sure the
sump pump is connected to a power generator
should the main power supply go out. As long
as the generator is running, the sump pump
will expel the water.
Water damage to a home can cost thousands
of dollars in repairs, particularly when it is not
covered by standard home insurance policies.
Sump pumps can help keep homes dry and
safe.
Homeowners who live in areas prone to fooding can
protect their homes with sump pumps.
Practice Garage and Workshop Smarts
Completing home improvement projects on your own can be
both rewarding and nancially responsible. A growing number of
homeowners are dabbling in do-it-yourself projects, recognizing
both the personal and nancial rewards of such undertakings. As
more and more homeowners perform their own renovations and
other improvement projects, many are outtting their homes with
state-of-the-art workshops and transforming garages into a do-it-
yourselfers paradise.
Safety is vital in any workshop. During a typical home renovation,
homeowners will use all sorts of dangerous tools and chemicals, and
even the simplest mishap can result in a serious injury. Following
safety rules can reduce the risk of injury.
Know your tools
Before novice do-it-yourselfers begin working with power tools,
they should familiarize themselves with their owners manuals and
the operating instructions. Some home-improvement retailers offer
classes in various home renovation projects and may be able to
teach tool usage. Do-it-yourselfers should consult professionals with
regard to proper tool use and safety. Do not use tools for purposes
other than what the tool was intended to do. If machine guards are
provided, they should be used and never removed.
Wear safety gear
Eye, ear and breathing protection are key in any workshop envi-
ronment. Dust and chemical gases may be present when working
with certain products, and debris can be kicked up and enter the
eyes, causing irritation or even blindness. Loud power tools can
damage sensitive ears, especially when used in a contained room.
Always wear goggles, sound-mufing earphones and dust masks
when working.
Assess physical well-being
Do-it-yourselfers should
never work with machin-
ery if they are feeling sick
or fatigued or while taking
medication that can affect
concentration or alertness. All it takes is a moment of distraction to
cause an injury.
Never surprise anyone who is working with power tools and keep
unnecessary people out of the workshop, where they might chat and
distract others from the tasks at hand.
Factor in ergonomics
Failure to work in comfortable conditions can result in repetition
injuries or muscle strain. Make the workshop as comfortable as pos-
sible. Ensure the work table is at the right height. Use a rubber mat
on the oor to reduce standing fatigue. Have a stool or chair avail-
able for taking breaks.
Keep a clean shop
Power cords strewn around the workshop present a tripping
hazard. They also make it possible to drag sharp or heavy tools off
of tables and workbenches if the cords are pulled or tripped over. A
neat workshop is a safer workshop. Pay attention to where tools are
kept and keep cords manageable.
Dress appropriately
Loose clothing and hair can become tangled or lodged in equip-
ment. Do not wear jewelry. Dress comfortably but appropriately for
the workshop, being sure to wear sturdy shoes.
Lock it up
Children and pets are curious and may wander into a workshop
to explore. They can become seriously ill or injured by the bevy of
chemicals and tools used for common projects. Some items are am-
mable and sharp and should always be out of reach. Locking cabi-
nets and drawers can keep tools inaccessible. Also warn youngsters
against entering the workshop unattended.
As more people engage in do-it-yourself projects, homeowners
should reacquaint themselves with safety procedures.

Improve Your Home and Diet
with a Vegetable Garden
Planting a garden can add aesthetic appeal and functionality to a
property. Vegetable gardens can transform landscapes while putting
healthy and homegrown food on the table. By growing their own
fruits and vegetables, homeowners have total
control over what foods can be harvested, and
they can ensure sustainable, safe practices are
used to care for the plants.
Vegetable gardens can be compact or expan-
sive, depending on how much space is available
to cultivate. However, rst-time gardeners may
want to begin small so they can hone their skills
and experiment to see which plants are most
likely to thrive in their gardens. Expansion is
always a possibility down the road.
Choose a location
Spend some time examining your landscape.
Vegetables generally need ample warmth and
sunlight to thrive, so nd an area of the yard that
gets several hours of direct sunlight per day.
A sunny spot is good, but you also want a loca-
tion with adequate drainage so your garden does
not succumb to ooding or fungus during and af-
ter heavy downpours. Dont place the garden too
close to rain gutters or near a pool, where splash-
out may occur. Select a location that is isolated
from pets so the plants are not trampled and cats
and dogs do not relieve themselves nearby.
Decide what to plant
When deciding what to plant, consider what
you eat and how much produce the household
consumes, then choose vegetables that t with
your diet. Some vegetables, like peppers, toma-
toes, eggplant, and squash, produce throughout
the season. Others, such as carrots and corn,
produce one crop and then expire. Plan accord-
ingly when you purchase plants or seeds, as you
want enough food but not so much that it will go
to waste.
Choose three to four different vegetables and
plant them in the garden. Select varieties that
require similar soil conditions, so that you can
adjust the pH and mix of the soil accordingly. This
will serve as good practice, particularly the rst
year of your garden. After you have mastered the
basics, you can branch out into other produce.
Know when to plant
Many of the foods grown in
vegetable gardens, including
tomatoes and peppers, are sum-
mer vegetables, which means
they reach peak ripeness after
the height of the summer season.
Pumpkins, brussel sprouts and
peas are planted to be harvested
later on. These plants may be put in the ground a little later than oth-
ers.
It is less expensive to start seedlings indoors and then transplant
them to a garden when the time comes. Seeds can be started three to
four weeks before they would be put outdoors. Many vegetables are
planted outside in April or May, but denitely after frost conditions
have waned. Read seed packets to know exactly when to plant or
consult with the nursery where you purchased established seedlings.
You also can visit The Garden Helper at www.thegardenhelper.com/
vegtips to nd out when to plant, seed depth and how long it takes
plants to reach maturity.
Vegetable gardens can become central components of outdoor
home landscapes. Not only do gardens add aesthetic appeal, but
also they produce fresh fruits and vegetables to enjoy throughout the
season.

Thumbs Up? Thumbs Down? Thumbs Up? Thumbs Down?
Thumbs down.
Thumbs way down to the
former re chief. After
the spectacle you put
on accusing the police
department of breaking
and entering and the
enemies you made in our
neighboring towns, you
have the nerve to call the
board chair out on the
color of his font in replying
to your email? Are you
serious? You need help.
Thumbs down.
Thumbs way down to the
Three Stooges of Litcheld
politics, Schoeld,
Guerette and Pascucci.
Stop speaking for me at
selectmen meetings! You
have no idea how I, or my
neighbors, feel.
Thumbs down to the
thumbs down criticizing
Republicans since 2001,
if you want to criticize us
please be more informed
and take a history lesson,
in 2012 in Benghazi
not Bangladesh, 4 brave
Americans were killed
by radical Islam terrorist,
Ambassador Stevens,
Ofcer Sean Smith, and
Navy Seal Glen Doherty,
and Navy Seal Tyrone
Woods, As you Dems.
Say, does it really matter
how they died, well it
matters to me, typical
Dem., stop drinking the
cool-aid and know your
facts before you want
to make an intelligent
argument, idiot.
Thumbs down to
Tom Schoeld. When
are you going to grow
up into a real man and
stop hiding behind the
Thumbs Column? Oh,
thats right, your famous
words I dont write in the
Thumbs Column. Yeah,
right! Grow up and face
the people you have issues
with.
Thumbs down!
Obama and Clinton lied
- 4 Americans died. Four
Americans died in the Benghazi terrorist attack
and both Obama and Clinton continued to lie to
the American people. Terrorist attacks didnt go
along with Obamas campaign theme. Osama is
dead and Al Qaeda is on their heels ... They had
to continue with the lie and they got away with
it.
Thumbs down to the article from the
reghter or union member. Yes, it is true that
the reghters are not to receive a cost of living
increase with their warrant/contract article passed
on March 11th. Although, it is not true that they
will not receive a pay increase. As stated in the
article. A majority of members will receive a pay
step increase on their yearly anniversary date. Pay
step increases are raises. Adjustments were made
to the wage scale (pay step) to bring it in parity
with other communities. This info taken from
reghters contract. Be honest in the future.
Thumbs down to the Religious group for
continuously trespassing on my property and
putting your propaganda in my door or disturbing
me on weekends to sell your views. Ive told
you repeatedly over the years that I have my
own religion and am very comfortable with it, so
please dont try to force your beliefs on me. Dont
you report back to your elders that some residents
want to be left alone and then have them removed
them from your contact list? Please respect others
beliefs and stop the force feeding. Enough is
enough!
Thumbs down to raising the minimum wage. I
am still waiting for a Democrat to explain how a
business is to pay for the increase without passing
the costs along to the customer and suffering
decreased sales as a result. Also, what happens to
the worker who worked hard and is already being
paid a bit more than the minimum wage? Wont
he/she be upset when the new worker gets moved
up the pay scale right next to them?
Thumbs up to Common
Core standards! They provide a
wonderfully equal path to failure
for students by assuming that
they all learn the same way and
in the same manner. OK, I was
being facetious. Nothing like
having the government decide
how our students should be
programmed.
Thumbs down to our school/
town for neglecting to tell voters
about the added pay step/
pay move increases and not
adding this to the voter ballots.
Example, re dept pay step thats
a 0.07 per thousand increase
to the re dept on their yearly
anniversary date. Every town
and school department will get
these types of increases and
will have them in addition to
their 1.5-2.75% cost of living
increase. Why was it ok to
neglect to tell voters about this
in the HLN or more importantly
on the voting ballot? Contact
Coutu and Lee Lavoie, this is
wrong and deceitful.
Next year vote down these salary
increases.
Thumbs down to the comment
about the Raytheon worker. How
do you know next year our property
taxes will only increase by a couple of
hundred dollars a year? Did you vote
on March 11th on school and town
ballots that included the tax impact
on them? I did not think so. Just for
the record, I get paid about $16 a hr.
at Raytheon. I dont know how I will
pay next years tax increases, or the
additional increases in 2016 and 2017.
See, Raytheon workers are not all
wealthy.
Thumbs down to our Hudson Town
and School district, for not including
the tax impact on every salary increase
warrant article on March 11th. Voters
cannot be misinformed and forced to
vote on warrant articles with pertinent
information left out. Like the tax
impact, pay step or pay move increases
and the schedule of these increases.
Example, additional 2.75% increase in
2015, 2016, and 2017. A few years
back, voters voted for a school 0.46
per thousand property tax increase,
because they thought it was general
fund/surplus fund paid. This increase
came off the pockets or residents.
They were not informed. Voters
beware. Contact Selectman Coutu
and HSB Chairman Laura Bisson.
This must stop!
Thumbs
down to the
Hudson~Litcheld
News for posting
the same thumbs
comments in back-
to-back weeks. I
nd it appalling
that you posted
the same thumbs
down regarding
Tom Schoeld and
Jason Guerrette two
weeks in a row.
They were word for
word. How about
posting Thumbs Up duplicates if you
still have space available. Absolutely
ridiculous. The thumbs written for
both of them were mean enough and
you had to print them two weeks in
a row.
Thumbs up to Tom Schoeld and
Jason Guerrette. I do not agree with
all of their points of view and did not
vote for Jason in the last election, but
democracy is about all points of view.
Thumbs down to the haters out there.
Imagine what this country would be
like if we all thought alike. Do you
really want that?
Thumbs down to the HLN for
printing the same thumbs as last
week.
Thumbs up to Mr. Baker and
Ms. Fitzgerald! Every morning (all
through winter too!) they are outside
at Library Street they greet every
child by name and with a smile. And
parents too! Thank you for making
my son feel welcome and starting
his day at school on such a positive
note.
Thumbs down in Hudson, now
that the schools pay more maybe the
teachers can buy software and not
pirate it. You students know and talk.
Thumbs up to the anonymous
person who has been plowing our
driveway while we have been away
this winter. We wish we knew who it
was so we can offer a gift to show our gratitude.
It is truly wonderful to know you are looking
over us and being an exceptional neighbor and
community member. Thank you again!
Thumbs down to the property owners,
renters, and the landscaper companies that use
Leaf blowers to clean out winter yard debris
by blowing into the Streets and other peoples
homes and yards. Grab a broom and a shovel
and go clean it up! Its your mess, your yard, your
responsibility!
Thumbs down to the jab
against Planned Parenthood.
Check your facts before
writing. PP provides many
essential services such as STD
and cancer screening for those
who otherwise cannot afford it.
Only 3% of their budget goes
to abortions and by law, none
of their federal funding can be
used for it.
Thumbs up to all the people
who brought electronics to the
Pack 21 Recycling event! Thank
you! Pack 21
Thumbs up to all the people
on Lowell Road who let others
merge. If you are frustrated by
waiting in the trafc, please
dont take it out on people who
use both lanes legally. Face it;
we need two right turn lanes at that spot, and two
lanes onto the bridge.
Thumbs down to the state of NH for not
protecting residents against uninsured drivers.
More should be done to make people more
accountable should they damage someones
property with their vehicle. For those of you
unaware, your uninsured motorist coverage will
not pay for property damage.
Thumbs up/Thumbs down. Yes, spring is here
and with spring our driving habits change. As
one of the Hudson safety guards, I stand at a very
busy intersection where I see so many vehicles
well exceeding the speed limit of 35. People are
talking, texting, putting on makeup, and not giving
any thought to the children Im crossing. I dont
mind helping people, but I put myself in danger as
you the drivers dont see whats going on. Please,
slow down.
Thumbs up to Barack Obama for being one of
the best Presidents we have ever had.
Thumbs down. Why must our way of life
change because of the almighty dollar? Many
have given their lives to protect our way of life.
Today, politicians disrespectfully sell out to a few
billionaires. Nothing good can come out of this
fools gold. Republicans and Democrats should
be having a bidding war to work for the people
and the middle class that makes us great. What
are we without the people? We must take our
country back from billionaires that corrupt the
thinking of our leaders. We once jumped on hand
grenades for one another. We would never do
that today.
Thumbs up to the Hudson PTW for the
amazing job on our streets. Our neighborhood
looks so great, all the sand and snow cleaned up
and the winter mess is gone.
Thumbs down to the ignorant person who
every year rakes his lawn into the street, hoping
that the wind, rain and cars will somehow
disperse the mess so he doesnt have to dispose
of it.
Thumbs down to the family who allows their
dog to do his business in the circle, and dont
even bother to pick it up. Gross!
Thumbs down to the parents dropping off their
kids at Hudson Memorial in the morning. Stop
dropping them off one by one! Pull your car up
as much as possible and the whole line should
let their kids out at once. Your kids wont suffer
walking a few extra feet. My kid has been late so
many times shouldnt take 10 minutes to go from
Central Street to the school.

Bronco Baseball Gearing up for Season Opener
U9 Lacrosse Under the Lights
by Marc Ayotte
Despite having made the playoffs in each of the last three
seasons, Coach Mike Lees squads have had their playoff runs cut
short after encountering a series of baseball buzz saws; losing to
two state champions in Londonderry and Exeter (2013) as well
as Merrimack, who nished second in 2012. After nishing the
2013 season with a somewhat mediocre 11-8 record that placed
them sixth in D-I, this years edition of Alvirne baseball hopes to
utilize a pair of brother combinations to move up a few slots in the
standings.
Coach Lee who is in his 31st season as skipper and has
amassed an amazing 304 wins during that stretch, admits his team
incurred some key losses to graduation. A pair of All-State players
in Pat Emanuelson (catcher) and Mike Sirvydas (ss/p) in addition
to Dakota Williams (DH) who is currently lacing up the spikes for
Daniel Webster College, will be missed from this years roster.
Nevertheless, Lee has ve returning starters to lead the way with
four returning lettermen and ve rookies rounding out the varsity
team. Pitching, as always, will be crucial, and the Broncos have
a very formidable 1-2 punch in starters Tyler Brown and Derek
Hudson. Brown is expected to have a banner senior year for AHS
as a prelude to making the trip to Huntington Avenue in Boston
next year where he will be pitching for Northeastern University.
Meanwhile, Hudson will be in the starting rotation for the third
consecutive season, and according to Lee; should have a big
year.
Completing the Brown and Hudson brothers duo are sophomore
Dan Brown and classmate Jacen Hudson. In his freshman
campaign, Dan played the middle ineld positions of second
baseman/short stop as well as registered a lofty .411 batting
average on his way to earning All-State recognition. Jacen,
who also started as a frosh, helps out the Bronco cause with
a great glove at 3B in addition to his appearances on the hill.
Rounding out the returning starters is senior Anthony Cestrone.
Affectionately referred to as War Dog, Lee says of his eet-footed
center elder, (He) can go get the ball.
The four lettermen returning for duty are all upperclassmen
and are led by captains Ethan Beals (P/3B) and Greg Emanuelson
(Catcher). Senior Robbie Flohr brings experience to the pitching
staff as a four-year varsity pitcher with Kyle McKinley adding some
depth to Lees hurlers while also playing the outeld.
Wearing the maroon and gold on the base paths for the rst
time will be Andrew Teague (junior, P/2B), Matt McKinley (while
completing the trifecta of siblings suiting up for Lee) will play
SS/2B and pitch, Josh Nardelli (Junior rst baseman) and Nathan
Roystan (junior outelder). Cam Blake completes the list of
rookies on the diamond, though he is certainly not a stranger
to donning the Bronco team colors as he transitions from three
excellent years on the ice playing for the AHS hockey team to the
left eld position.
Going forward, Coach Lee, while separating himself from
most baseball coaches by being inducted into the NH Coaches
Hall of Fame in 2008, also shares something with virtually
every other coach with respect to keys for a successful season;
staying healthy on the mound. He praises this years group by
acknowledging they are good baseball players with great attitudes
who work hard every day. While admitting that the team defense
should be very good, he countered that by adding; (We) hope to
minimize youthful mistakes. Additionally, with respect to when
his Broncos are in the batters box, Lee posed the question: Who
will have a big year at the plate?
The season opener is slated for April 14 when they travel to the
Queen City to take on Manchester Central. After opening up on
the road, the Broncos will return home for a four-game home stand
beginning April 16 when they host Pinkerton.
Hanging out after
a long preseason
practice are AHS
baseball players,

Hudson, Ethan

Presentation of Mary
Academys new turf eld was
the site last Friday night when
the Hudson Recreation Lacrosse
under nine year olds came to
scrimmage the PMA teams.
Both leagues elded two squads
for this age bracket.
Picture this, in Hudson, the
rst Friday night of April, the rst
game at 6 p.m. and the second
game at 7 p.m. It was raining
somewhat, on and off, and
it was cold. Finally, lacrosse
players were wearing shorts.
Now with that image in your
vision, if youre playing on a
U9 team, you might be 6, 7, 8
or 9 years old, but it was great
these players ran and handled
the ball like they had been at
it for years. They worked as a
team and knew their positions.
On occasion, especially as the
teams switched sides at every
12-minute quarter, someone
got the ball and headed in the
wrong direction; yes, 12-minute
quarters but running time.
As this was a scrimmage with
some teams headed to different
opening day games over the
weekend, when someone scored
it was great. The encouragement
from both coaches on the eld
showed their dedication to the
game and even more so to their
players. In closing, please note,
the PMA coach also wore shorts.
Preston Ball of Hudson maroon,
far left, is about to come face to
face with Alexander Hobley of
PMS white.
#35 Carlo Catalan of
Hudson maroon plays
defense, with Hudsons
#33 Zach Connerty
playing goalie. Anthony
Smith of PMA white is
shooting the ball.
#53 for Hudson
Recreation Liam
Connerty takes the ball
down feld. Te PMA
white players defending
him are Alexander

Thumbs Up? Thumbs Down? Thumbs Up? Thumbs Down?
Editors Note: Due to a computer glitch, the
March 28 Thumbs were published in last weeks
edition. Thumbs Up/Thumbs Down comments
for April 4 are included in this weeks publication
for your reading pleasure. We apologize for any
inconvenience.
Thumbs down. Huge thumbs down to the
town of Hudson for not repairing the holes on the
streets. How many at tires and shocks do we
have to go through? What are they waiting for
and what are our taxes paying for?
Thumbs down. I dont like what Republicans
did to America from 2001 to 2009. I also resent
the fact they refuse to help, when the recovery
that was a direct result of their leadership.
Disrespecting our President while he is trying
to clean up their mess is inexcusable. Today,
they continue to do nothing, and look only to
cause more hardship to America. A Republican
congress that votes no to any help government
offers its people, is not a vote getter. Why would
the people vote against themselves? Why cant we
get a Republican candidate thats for the people,
and not bought and paid for by folks like the Koke
brothers?
Thumbs down. This is to the genius that
blames the Republicans that for everything except
the great biblical ood. Big thumbs down. I
assume youre referring to Bengazi, where the
regime in the State House and the White House
declined to help four Americans under attack,
and then lied about the reason for it being under
attack. Happened to look up the resources for
you. It was not a lack of resources, but a lack of
will. At least two could have been saved, and
maybe all four. But the regime led potential
rescuers to stand down. Wake up!
Thumbs down to Mr. Beals, way to set another
ne example to the kids about showing up to
school functions Drunk or on Drugs. Because
they are an athlete they seem to get a little slap on
the wrist. My child has been playing sports there
for several years now and in the parent meetings
we are allows told that there is no tolerance
for this type of behavior. Seriously 10 days
suspension, two weeks off the school team? How
about actually keeping them off the team. AA
meetings? Some things so others would actually
learn from the experience. This is the second one
that was allowed back on school team after being
caught ... Mr. Lane would have never allowed this
behavior.
Thumbs down. To people who drive the speed
limit ... and only the speed limit. Start driving like
real people. And get over yourselves.
Thumbs down to Superintendent Brian Lane
and other Alvirne faculty for wanting the Alvirne
farm closed. As a former Alvirne Agriculture
graduate, I am appalled that you want to close a
one of a kind educational facility, which allows
not only Hudson students, but students from
surrounding towns to experience a hands-on
education like none other. What happened
to your famous phrase Academic Excellence
when you yourself were once the leader of the
Broncos?
Thumbs down to the Hudson school board
members, Alvirne faculty, and Superintendent
Brian Lane for wanting the Alvirne farm closed.
This is a one of a kind hands-on academic facility
that I myself can proudly say I spent hundreds of
hours on when I was an Alvirne student, having
most of my fondest memories be made out
there under Ray Marcotte and Jessica Edwards.
Unfortunately Emery Nadeau hasnt been given
enough credit by the faculty and Board members
who have no sense of agriculture. Apparently
they think you can grow your food from the
asphalt and dispense your milk from a well in the
back yard.
Thumbs up. A huge thumbs up to the
supporting staff and teachers of Grifn Memorial
School! Everyone that we have had contact with
has been extremely friendly and caring. I feel
good knowing that my children are being looked
after each day by an incredible, involved, loving
team. Please know that you all have made a huge
difference in our lives and especially the life of my
son. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
Thumbs up to Mr. Schoeld. It has got to feel
pretty good to have them attacking you again.
Clearly they are scared of you. Im sure they are
thinking (hoping) that if they hit you hard and
early on you will back off. The Attorney General
and the Secretary of State shutting them down
clearly sent them wild. Please! Keep up the good
work!
Thumbs down about the comment about the
Hudson ex-Raytheon workers property taxes
going up by $600-$800 a year. Can you prove
that it will not increase by that much? Our
emergency personnel are receiving as stated in
their contract warrant article 3, 4, 5 they are each
going to receive additional increases on their
anniversary date yearly and our school system is
going to receive those additional salary increases
yearly or every couple of years for some. Were
these pay step amounts and pay move salary
increases listed in the HLN, or warrant articles?
Not just on the town and school websites
contract/warrant articles. So tell me again how
much its going to cost the voters with these
additional increases, the total tax impact with
these increases added in?
Thumbs up to the HLN. If it werent for this
newspapers thumbs Column giving residents the
truth! Then where would we get! If it werent for
the thumbs, I would just throw this paper in my
wood stove, without even looking at it. Everyone
I speak to reads the thumbs column.
Thumbs up to the person who found my cell
phone at the Litcheld dump and turned it in to
the Litcheld Police. It is good to know that there
are still people who are honest.
Thumbs down to the man that loves to belittle
people such as Jason and Chris. Maybe the signs
were not put up by your favorite person. Maybe
it was me, but wait - youll never know who I
am. Very tired reading your complaints about
Litcheld and some residents. Could you be a
coward? Try acting like a man that I know you are
not. Wait again; maybe you do not wear the pants
in your household. This could be your way of
thinking you are a man. You write like a coward.
Almost forgot something again, theres a yard sale
with lots of dresses and pretty colors this Saturday
...
Thumbs down to listening to gunshots all
week-end long in the north end of Litcheld! Real
nice way to relax - especially for those who have
served active duty, and may suffer from PTSD.
Can anything be done to restore peace to country
living?
Thumbs up to Hudsons Highway Department
this winter year. For the rst time in 12 years,
I dont have to spend a lot of my money on re-
soding, replanting or re-seeding half my property
thats been ruthlessly destroyed by plow trucks!
Enjoy your new, well deserved raises; your
department has earned it!
Thumbs down to Obamas appointed
Democrats that are being arrested daily all over
the country. Governors, senators, 3 or 4 last
week, gun smuggling, drugs, embezzling, they
are dropping like ies. He knew he was putting
criminals in ofce, anything to get his Anti
American, Communist Agenda shoved through ...
Thumbs up to Selectman Kevin Bourque for
helping me change my at tire when I was stuck
on Page Road Sunday morning. After talking
with this young man I learn not only is he a
Selectman but he also serves on the Litcheld Fire
Department. This is what makes our community
so special. Thank you so much for serving our
community in multiple levels.
Thumbs down to the Litcheld teachers union
for not picking up their campaign signs. You were
good enough to take the time to put them up, now
that you got your money; you choose to leave
your sign all over the roads. What are you waiting
for? The taxpayers to pay the road department to
pick them up for you?
Thumbs down to Selectmen chair John
Brunelle. Were a small town with limited funds.
Its time to start representing the taxpayers of
Litcheld instead of a few of your cronies.
Thumbs down to John Brunele. Even
though only a few people are willing to speak
at Selectmen meetings, and take all the abuse
associated with speaking the truth, there are many
more standing right behind those gentlemen that
support every word they say. The Selectmen better
listen to the voters and start acting r responsible.
Thumbs down to Jason Guerette. Who are
you to tell the selectmen anything? You lost the
election ... now just stay home and be quiet ...
better yet ... move out of town!
Thumbs down to Chris Pascucci. Stop
lecturing the selectmen ... you have no clue!
Several of my neighbors, as well as myself, were
confused as to the story about the tax increases
... that turned out to be wrong. We didnt see the
retraction! Dont be telling them things that you
dont know! Stay away from those meetings ...
youre making a fool of yourself, along with your
buddies.
Thumbs down to the former re chief
Schoeld. After almost ruining the re department
you have no right to say anything ... especially to
the selectmen! Sour grapes taste pretty bad dont
they?

Prime Appraisals Repeats as Hudson Rec Hoops Champs
John Kostro (#23) drives to the hoop during championship game action in the
Hudson Rec mens 35 and Over Mens Basketball League.
by Marc Ayotte
Scoring in the rst half of the Hudson Rec 35 and Over Mens
Basketball League championship game rivaled the droughts of the
Dust Bowl years of the 1930s and 1950s. However, in a spirited
second half, it was Prime Appraisals (PA) that built upon its slim 13-
11 halftime lead with a balanced second-half scoring performance
to defeat D & R Plumbing by a 43-37 score.
Midway through the second half, D&R Plumbing took a
commanding 28-20 lead. But PA responded with a Prime-Time 12-1
burst, spearheaded by back-to-back triples from John Lavoie and
John Kostro, along with an And 1 from Bob Iannaco to take a 32-
29 lead with 5:14 showing on the clock.
Player/sponsor Bob Wessons team took the lead for good on a key
hoop in the paint from Iannaco that snapped a 34-all tie with less
than three minutes remaining. Lavoie then drained both ends of a
one and one from the charity stripe with 48 ticks remaining; ushing
D&R Plumbings bid to dethrone the defending champs.
Leading Prime Appraisals in scoring as well as owning the boards
was Bob Iannaco who scored seven of his team-high 11 points in the
decisive second half. Five other players entered the scoring column,
including Lavoie and John Kostro, each chipping in with seven.
Filling out the score sheet was Scott Sweeney and Bob Wesson with
six apiece and Greg Gush with four. Leading D&R Plumbing in
defeat was Tobin Dozois who rained-in four trifectas on his way to a
game-high 16 points.

Congratulations
to the Hudson
6th grade boys
basketball team!
They traveled
to Deereld to
defend their 2013
championship title.
The boys initially
played a tough ICB
team who were out
for revenge for the
Bow tournament.
However, ICB was
no match for the
Heat. The Hudson
boys continued on
in the tournament
and remained
undefeated breaking
down Marshwood in the end for
the championship. The Deereld
Championship was the last tournament
of the season for the boys. It was a long
season and at one point they were 14-14,
but they turned it around and nished
with two championships and a nal
record for the season of 33-19. What a
great group of boys. Congratulations to
the team, their families and their fans and
thank you for a great season.
submitted by Carola Mandeville, Head Coach
