Smiles Warm the Crowd as Santa

Comes to Town
Hudson~Litchfield
News
Volume 26 Number 23 December 5, 2014 16 Pages
by AJ Dickinson
Hundreds of Hudson families braved the cold and trudged
their way through the thick snow to catch a glimpse of Santa
Claus on Friday, Nov. 28 at his yearly arrival on the town
common. At around 4 p.m., the Alvirne bands of both alumni
and current musicians filled the air with wonderful Christmas
tunes like We Wish You a Merry Christmas and Here Comes
Santa Claus.
Soon after, Santa arrived via fire truck to greet all of the smiling
children and, of course, to light the town tree. After the tree
lighting, many made their way over to the community center
where the little ones told Santa themselves what they wanted
for Christmas and even took part in some fun activities
such as arts and crafts and cookie decorating.
Quite an array of organizations were on
hand, including two Girl Scout troops, a Cub
Scout troop, the AHS Little Broncos, the AHS
Key Club and many more.
Scott Wilson, who has been a Lions Club
member for 11 years, said, Its just one
of those nice small-town community gettogethers; look around at all the kids smiles.

Thankfully, Losing Power Doesnt Stop

Resourceful Volunteers from Making 1,300 Meals
by Len Lathrop
What time did you lose power on Wednesday and were
you elbow deep in squash, potatoes, pies and, of course,
turkey?
Now picture these 164 turkeys, 800 pounds of squash, the
same amount of potatoes and then add hundreds of pounds
of sweet potatoes and all the others fix-ins. Lets further
compound that scenario by adding that many of the people
with peelers and knives in their hands were teenagers
helping with the food. They were Scouts, both boys and
girls, many family members, who might have begun when
they were kids, there with their parents and now they were
parents there with their children.
The goal was to have roughly 1,300 complete meals ready
to be delivered on Thanksgiving Day, and then, without any
fanfare or flicker, it was dark.

If you havent figured it out yet, it was the 27th time that
the Hudson Fish and Game Club on Pine Road was getting
ready to serve Thanksgiving dinner to folks who needed
some help with a hot meal.
But back to the Thanksgiving tale as what happened next
amused those there who were over say 50 years old. Out
of pockets came cell phones switched to the flashlight
application with two or three at each table, and people went
back to work. Being on the turkey carving team, we kept
cutting and it seemed that things just happened. Within 20
minutes, a generator was retrieved from Arlain LaCassies
home just around the corner, several halogen work lamps
were powered and full production was continued.
While the individual slices of pie were put in containers,

Cheers went up when the first halogen light was powered by the generator.
the last of the turkeys were deconstructed; breast meat isnt cut until the morning to
keep it from drying out. Sixty-quart cooking pots --large enough to need two full-size
men to move-- were filled and readied to be cooked starting at 4 a.m. Thanksgiving
Day. A row of propane burners was in line to do 15 pots (giant pots) all at the same
time.
It was about 7:45 p.m. Most volunteers were gone, except for several club
members, who were relaxing and making sure everything was ready for morning.
They were in the well, just the name of the room in the club. This turkey carver
went home to a heated house and maybe a cup of hot coffee, but was home for less
than an hour when there was a big bang and the house went dark. Out came the
generator and, thankfully, it started.
Set the phone alarm for 5:15 a.m.; the turkey cutting crew started again to slice the
breasts at 6 a.m. On Pine Road the generator was running and the temporary lights
were or at least seemed brighter than the night before by 7 a.m. Work stopped for
five minutes --not a union break for volunteers-- as the generator was wired into the

Hudson School Board Re-Opens Negotiations

with Superintendent Bryan Lane
by Doug Robinson
At the Dec. 1 Hudson School Board meeting,
School Board Chair Laura Bisson read the
following from a prepared statement.
There has been a great deal of speculation
regarding the status (of) continuing a contract
with our Superintendent (Bryan Lane.) On the
advice of our legal advisors, last June the Board
voted to discontinue specific language in the
Superintendents contract that automatically
renewed the contract on an annual basis, unless
the board notified the Superintendent otherwise.
The Board (at that time) voted to change the
(contract) language.
The specific renewal language of Lanes
present contract states, This agreement shall
annually be automatically renewed for a period

of one year on the same terms and conditions
of the second year of this Agreement unless
the Hudson School Board, at least one year
before the end of the original two-year term
of this Agreement, gives written notice of nonrenewal to the Superintendent of Schools or
offers him or her a new contract on terms no
less favorable than this contract. After that time,
the contract will continue to be automatically
renewed for an additional year, on an annual
basis in accordance with this paragraph. During
any period by which contract is automatically
extended pursuant to this paragraph, the
Superintendent of Schools is entitled to written
notice of non-renewal at least 12 months (no
later than June 30) prior to the end of such term

or this contract will automatically be renewed
for another one-year term. In the event of
non-renewal, the Superintendent of Schools is
entitled to make a formal presentation to the
Hudson School Board.
Bisson further stated, Since last June, the
board has been in an evaluation process of the
job performance of the superintendent. Specific
concerns were raised by the board and goals
were created for the superintendent to work
toward.
The minutes of that June 6 meeting have been
sealed. At that time, Lane was told that his
contract was not going to be renewed for

T-Bones Staff Loves to Give Back

with its Annual Tips for Toys
submitted by Hudson Police Department

On Saturday, Nov. 29, at around 10:50 a.m., officers from the
Hudson Police Department responded to Route 111 near the
Windham town line for a report of a motor vehicle collision involving
a vehicle and a sheet of ice that came off another vehicle.
Upon arrival it was discovered that a large sheet of ice/snow had
come off a white van or large SUV that was traveling east on Route
111. The ice/snow came down onto the windshield of a westbound
Volvo wagon shattering the windshield and almost penetrating the
passengers compartment. The driver of the Volvo wagon was able
to pull over to the side of the road safely. The white van/SUV never
stopped and no plate number or identifying features were reported by
the victim or the witness to this incident.
The operator of the Volvo, Lisa Beauchemin, 35, of Hudson, was
showered with glass but otherwise uninjured. Also in Beauchemins
car were her two young daughters who were also uninjured.
The Hudson Police would like to remind the public to clean off all
snow and ice from their vehicles after snow storms. The driver of any
vehicle that has ice or snow come off it and strike another vehicle is
responsible for any damage or injuries that result.

Hudson School Board Reviews Proposed Renovations of AHS Athletic Facilities

to accommodate the 100-meter and
high-jump competitions.
The current football field would
be resized to accommodate not only
football, but also soccer, and both
mens and ladies lacrosse fields.
The width of the present football
field would expand to 214 feet.
In addition, the new football field
would be converted to a synthetic
material, replacing the natural
grass. Huntress mentioned that
the maintenance of the synthetic
material would cost the district less
than to maintain the current natural
grass surface.
Overall, site improvements would
also involve a 200-seat expansion
to the home grandstands, a new
concession and storage building,
sports lighting modifications, digital
scoreboard, wireless play clock,

The Hudson School Board contracted with
the Andover, Mass.-based company, Huntress
Associates, a landscape, architecture, and land
planning company to perform an Existing
Conditions Analysis of the AHS athletic fields,
concessions, storage facilities, and grandstands.
The scope of work would involve an Athletic
Field Master Plan and Preliminary Estimated
Construction Cost (Plan) for any proposed
changes to the existing athletic fields.
While addressing the Hudson School Board,
Christian Huntress of Huntress Associates stated,
While the cost for a renovated stadium and track
are significant, I view both as assets that can
benefit the full community. Our facilities are used
by citizens of all ages as we all promote wellness
and good health.
Hired four months ago, Huntress Associates
has met with local members of the high school
administration, maintenance and athletic staff
to discuss the upgrade options available to the
Hudson School District to revitalize the existing
AHS athletic areas. The document presented to
the school board was titled, Alvirne High School
Track and Field Master Plan.
The track and field upgrade would involve
the football field, surrounding track, concession
stands, storage facilities and the grandstands.
Since the first meeting with the Andover planning
company, eight different options and layouts have
been reviewed. It comes down to priorities,
budgets and what is important, commented
Huntress.
At this point in time, neither the permitting nor
the engineering requirements are done, stated
AHS Principal Steve Beals.
Having walked and examined the track and
fields, Huntress further stated: The site is around
17 years old and has held up reasonably well.
The life span of an asphalt track and interior field
is around 15 to 20 years. The track is now starting
to show signs of cracking, which is normal. It also
has depressions. This does not mean anything is
wrong; this just happens.
Huntress analysis also included the concession
area as well as increased seating capacity in
the grandstands. Currently, approximately 200
students from the band are required to remain on
the field, as the bleachers will not accommodate
them.
The proposed new track would offer six
running lanes with two straight-aways. These

Post Office Square at Central Street c. 1900
submitted by Ruth Parker

This is among my favorite pictures! A view
of Central Street from Post Office Square at the
bridge c.1900. On the hill we see the Baker
Brothers Store, Cumming Brothers Shop, and the
Methodist Church (now the Community Church).
In the foreground to the left we see the watering
fountain.
Walking across the square are pedestrians
coming and going to the waiting station for the
electric trolley. If you look carefully you can
see the electric tracks coming from Nashua and
up Central, out Webster, and Ferry streets. From
this square one could take public transportation

to Nashua as well as down Webster Street to
Manchester; up Ferry Street to Hudson Center and
on to Salem; and up Central Street to Lowell Road
and on to Dracut and Lowell. The waiting station
and ticket office is off the picture to our right.
In 1853 the location of the Hudson Post Office
was moved from Hudson Center to the bridge
area and was located at first in the Greeley Store
Building. As time progressed, the location would
shift from that site to the Baker Brothers Store
depending upon who was appointed postmaster.

Collecting Socks for Seniors

Time goes by fast. Between now and Saturday,
December 20, were collecting new socks for Litchfield
men and women in nearby nursing homes and
hospitals.
The idea started in Ohio 14 years ago when some of
those seniors were lacking socks to go home or a to a
rehab center. Pretty sad in this day and age.
If youd like to donate a pair of new socks, drop them
off in the Litchfield Town Hall lobby or the Aaron
Cutler Memorial Library.
Also, if you know of any resident in the nursing
home or hospital, call Pat Jewett at 424-6636 so theyll
be sure to receive some from the residents of the town.
Thanks for your interest and generosity. Happy
Holidays to you and your family.

The first weekend of October was an eventful weekend for New
Hampshire junior shooters, as many of them would be competing
in both the NRA NH Conventional Team Invitational State
Championship on Saturday the 4th and the Plymouths of the World
Postal Prone Championship on Sunday the 5th. The juniors knew
they had a long day ahead of them on Saturday when they arrived
at the Hudson Fish and Game Club. This match was actually four
smaller team matches, two of 30 shots per team member and two
of 60 shots, and an overall aggregate match.
The Hudson Fish and Game Clubs Junior team, The Plastics,
comprised of Bailey Urbach and Elizabeth Dutton, started their
day with a 588-29x team score, beating out the Ferry Brook Junior
Shooters Gold Team of Andrew Solomonides and Tobin Sanctuary,
who had fired a 570-25x. The Plastics won the second match of
the day, which was twice the number of shots as the first, 117861x over Ferry Brook Golds 1175-58x. They placed second in
the third match, falling to Ferry Brook Gold 588-21x to 586-24x.
The Hudson Fish and Game girls pulled off a win in the fourth
match with a score of 1189-64x, with Ferry Brook Gold coming
in second place again with a score of 1172-60x. This gave the
Hudson Fish and Game Clubs The Plastics the overall high
aggregate: 3541-178x. Second place overall went to Ferry Brook
Gold with their 3505-164x aggregate, and third place went to

while Andrew and Tobins 588-21x set new Civilian, Open, and
Junior records as well. Hudson Fish and Game Blues fired a 4695x in this match, also breaking this Sub-Junior category National
Record. In the 60 shot matches, The Plastics 1189-64x broke the
Open, Civilian, Woman, and Junior Two-Person Team records for
Outdoor Conventional Position Any Sights, while the Ferry Brook

Alvirne High School
Eiric Marro, Project Lead the Way
teacher, gave his pre-engineering
students a challenge to design a robot
using three-dimensional software.
The robot must climb a 5-inch ramp
and grab a 3-inch-by-2-inch block
of wax and exit the platform without
crashing. It is not an easy task.
Students worked in teams of three
to come up with solutions. Prior to
this assignment, students did small

motors work. Pictured here (from left)

Opera Performer Conducts

Master Class at Alvirne
submitted by Elizabeth Beaton
Jimi James is an opera performer whose vocal
talents were deemed a force of nature by the
Springfield News Leader, and who joyously
applies his talents to his greatly varied roles up
and down the eastern seaboard. Alvirne High
School was fortunate to welcome James, who
taught a Master Class on operatic performance
for Select Chorus participants on Nov. 13. James
heard various renditions of Per La Gloria from
the opera Griselda (Giovanni Bononcini) by
B Naturals and Treble Choir students who are
hoping to achieve coveted spots in the NHMEA
All State chorus this year.
James began his speech with a performance of
The next day was the Plymouths of the World International Prone
Postal. For the first time in 11 years, the Plymouth, New Hampshire
teams won the overall match, which is comprised of two smaller
matches: Teams of Six and Teams of Ten. Two Hudson Fish and
Game Juniors, Bailey and Elizabeth, one Ferry Brook Junior, Tobin,
and two Hudson Fish and Game coaches, Brian Jylkka and Bill
Dutton, earned five of the six top spots for the match, each firing
above a score of 570/600. Tobin was the New Hampshire high
scorer with a 578-24x. The NH team won the Teams of Six match,
3451 to Plymouth UKs 3421. They also won the Teams of Ten
match, again over Plymouth UK, 5680 to 5644. Plymouth, NH
also placed well in the Plymouth Challenge, in which the same
match is opened to non-Plymouth teams that wish to compete. They
won the Teams of Six with their 3451, but they fell in second place
behind The Rest of The South, The West, and Wales for Teams of
Ten, 5705 to 5680. The New Hampshire juniors showed much
improvement over their summer season, closing it out with these two
matches, multiple new national records, and an international win.
Figaros Aria from Il barbiere di Siviglia, ossia

Linutile precauzione by Gioachino Rossini. Jimi
James own performance was comical, energetic,
and vocally brilliant. His critiques were insightful
and sensitive to the ages of the performers. This
program was brought to Alvirne High School
by Opera New Hampshire and their generous
donors. NHMEA All State auditions are being
held at Memorial High School in Manchester on
Saturday, Nov. 15.
As a result of hard work and Jimi James
inspiration, 14 students will represent Alvirne
High School at All State this year. AHS came in
second place behind Pinkerton Academy who will
send 15 students.

Police Arrest Former McDonalds

Manager over $10K in Missing Cash
On Oct. 29, the Hudson Police Department initiated an investigation
at the request of the McDonalds Corporation. Representatives
reported that over a month-long period cash sales were missing from a
McDonalds located at 75 Derry Street. The Hudson Police Department
conducted an investigation into the reported theft, and with the
assistance of the McDonalds Corp., determined that over $10,000 in
cash sales had been stolen.
On Nov. 25, Joshua Infantino, 41, of Milford, and a former manager
of the Derry Street McDonalds, turned himself in to the Hudson Police
Department for an arrest warrant. Infantino is being charged with a
Class A Felony Theft in connection with the missing money. Infantino
was released on $50,000 personal recognizance bail and is scheduled to
appear at the 9th Circuit Court Nashua Division on Dec. 24.

Winter Parking Ban Reminder

The Hudson Police Department reminds all
citizens that beginning Dec. 1, a town-wide
winter parking ban went into effect. This means
that vehicles are not allowed to be parked on
public streets between the hours of 11 p.m. to 7
a.m. The reason for this parking ban is to enable
the Department of Public Works to remove snow,
without vehicular impedance, from the roadways
in the event of an overnight snowstorm. Vehicles

parked overnight on the roads make it very
difficult for DPW workers to remove the snow.
This creates traffic issues and road hazards for
those who commute to work during the morning
hours.
The Hudson Police Department will issue
$20 parking citations for those parked on public
roadways between the hours of 11 p.m. and 7
a.m. If the fine is not paid within
72 hours of the date issued,
Bringing Light into the Darkness!

Right People, Right Bikes,

the Right Difference
by Len Lathrop
As John Farrer, partner, CTO/CIO of Right Networks of
Hudson, off-loaded 27 bikes of all different shapes and sizes, to
Rosemarie Dykeman of The Salvation Army of Greater Nashua
Santa Fund.
These bikes will make the children and teens who receive
them upwardly mobile. More than just toys, these bikes will
enhance their lives as they allow the youngsters to go different
places and acquire a since of independence.
This is the second year that the employees and management of
Right Networks have been able to donate enough bikes to fulfill
the request list the Santa Fund had.
Right Networks purchased the bikes at Walmart, and Walmart
donated enough bike helmets for every recipient. Of course,
the dedicated Salvation Army staff quickly matched the proper
color and size helmet with the right bike. For example, the blue
helmet with the Mohawk strip on it had to go with the blue boy
mongoose bike.
Farrer explained that the Right Networks folks donate the bikes
but also have several families that they provide Christmas gifts to.
The Salvation Army serves over 700 families with Christmas
gifts and food every year, doing their best to provide the children
with the items on their wish list.
Dental Care in Patients

with Heart Conditions
Walmart donated enough bike helmets for every recipient.
Even
During
routine
dental
treatment
with general
manipulation of
the gingival
(gum)
tissue,
bleeding may occur. As a
result, bacteria from the
mouth may enter the blood
stream and subsequently
enter the heart. This presents
a risk for those individuals
with certain cardiac
abnormalities because the
bacteria may cause
bacterial endocarditis, a
serious inflammation of the
heart valves and tissue.
To determine whether an
existing heart condition
poses such a risk, your dental
professional needs a
complete medical history.
Therefore, it is important that

you inform your dental
professional of any existing
cardiac conditions.
Adherence to guidelines set
forth by the American Heart
Association and a consultation
with your physician are all that
is necessary to provide simple
preventive measures against
bacterial endocarditis.
Preventive measures usually
include antibiotic medication
shortly before and after dental
treatment.
However, poor dental
hygiene resulting in
periodontal (gum) disease
may spread bacteria to the
heart even in the absence of
dental treatment. It is
therefore paramount to
establish and maintain
excellent oral health by
regular brushing, flossing, and
regular professional dental
care.

Tis the season to be festive, and that usually means stringing up hundreds of twinkling
lights to create a welcoming glow on dark winter nights. Some people view the holiday
season as their chance to go all out with regard to decorating their homes with an
abundance of lights, inflatable lawn ornaments and maybe even some mechanical figures.
While these decorations certainly may be symbols of the season, its easy to forget just
how much energy and resources they consume. A typical strand of lights uses around 300
watts of electricity. Multiply those figures by the dozens of strings of lights people use and
its easy to see how quickly energy usage can add up.
In addition to lights, lit candles, animated dolls, wreaths, trees, and scores of imported
ornaments contribute to the energy consumption per household. Even so, environmentally
conscious individuals need not skip the holiday dcor and entertaining. Fortunately, there
are various ways to be energy efficient with holiday dcor this season.
Switch to LED lights. LED lights consume a fraction of the energy traditional
incandescent bulbs do. While a standard string of 50 lights consumes 300 watts, LED sets
only consume four watts. This not only saves energy, but also considerable amounts of
money over the course of the holiday season.
Use fiber-optic decorations. Fiber optic items are lit by one light. The illumination
carries through the fiber optic cables to the entire decoration.
Use a power strip and timer. Plug decorations into a power strip (be sure to follow the
recommended power load for safety) and hook everything up to a timer so lights are not
on when no one can see them.
Check light strands. Always inspect lights for frayed wires and any damage. Frayed
lights are less efficient and pose a considerable safety risk.
Enhance decorations. Use mirrors and reflective ornaments to give the appearance of
more lights without actually adding more.
Turn off ambient lighting. Christmas tree lights or the lights framing a picture window
should be sufficient to light up a room. Keep lamps and overhead lighting off while the
tree is lit to save money and energy.

Sudha Komma, DVM- NEW OWNER
A Modern Makeover Proposed for

Hudsons Historic Lenny Smith Station
Courtesy photos
by Shannon Lindsay, Rivier University Intern

Over the past couple of months, the
Hudson~Litchfield News has been keeping you
updated on changes that Hudsons professional
firefighters and officers, in conjunction with
the Board of Selectmen, are hoping voters will
approve this coming March at town elections.
The previous HLN story gave a detailed outline
of the budget for both projects being planned.
The bigger of the two projects is the
replacement of the Burns Hill Station with a
new station to be located on Lowell Road.
Many of the details of this project have been
reported here already. It has also been proposed
that some renovations be made to the historic
Leonard Smith Central Station.
The Lenny Smith Station, located at 15 Library
Street, was built in 1952 for $54,000, with only
another $6,000 used to to purchase equipment
for the station. Built with used bricks and by the
hands of Hudsons own volunteer firefighters at
the time, this building was not meant to be very
elaborate.
It was originally a three-bay station. A kitchen
was added in the late fifties, thanks to donations
by the Hudson Firefighters Relief Association,
and, in 1978, there was a single-story addition
to the building for the purpose of storing the
ladder and the tanker truck. From that point on,
no major renovations were made to the station
until fairly recently when a heating and A/C unit
was added for $80,000.
There has been talk of renovations to the
Lenny Smith Station since 2007 when a
this year, it was decided to finally

make an official proposal of these
renovations.
One of the biggest updates that the
department would like
to accomplish with these
renovations is updating the
building envelope, roof,
doors, and windows. Raising
the doors is very important
Located across from
because currently the doors

renovations would be to

the overall comfort

of the firefighters.
The fire department
wants to update
the current locker
facilities and to
also improve
the kitchen,
training area, and
dormitories. Many
of these areas
have never been
modernized. The
kitchen remains
exactly as it was
when it was built in
the 1950s.
Still other
renovations
would improve
the accessibility
of the facility for
the public. Lastly,
updates would be
made to both the
plumbing and the
electricity.
All of these
renovations have been estimated at about
$900,000, a cost that would be taken from the
towns Unassigned Fund Balance. The funds
would be coming out of the UFB in Fiscal Year

16, which runs from July 1, 2015 to June 30,
2016. The cost of this project would have no
effect on the tax rate.

Police officers responded to Walmart for a
report of two subjects that fled the area, on
foot, after attempting to steal a large screen
TV. The suspects fled through the rear of
the store parking lot into a wooded area.
Upon arrival, officers attempted to locate
the suspects and an initial investigation
ensued. Moments later, following a foot

How to Send Gifts to Faraway Friends and Family
Seasons Greetings
The holiday season is a time to share happy experiences with

friends and family. But reconnecting with loved ones come the
holidays is not always possible, especially when family and friends
are spread out across the country, if not the globe. Even though these
people may not be close geographically, theyre still close in our
hearts and, therefore, still on our holiday shopping lists.
Some issues arise when sending gifts to faraway friends and family.
Distance necessitates shipping gifts or making travel arrangements.
To make that process less complicated, consider these suggestions.
Package gifts wisely. When shipping gifts, exercise caution to
ensure the item arrives on time and in one piece. The holiday season
is one of the busiest times of the year for the shipping industry, and
packages may endure a few bumps along the way. For fragile items,
use extra packing peanuts, newspaper or other protective wrapping
material. Choose the right size package so the gift does not move
around much inside of the box. If the gift is expensive, insure the
package in the event it gets lost or damaged. Also, you may want
to spend a little more money to have the shipment tracked and a
confirmation sent when the package is delivered. This can offer some
peace of mind during a hectic time of year.
Take advantage of free shipping offers. Many retailers offer
discounts on shipping rates during the holiday season. Shop at retailers that offer such discounts, as shipping costs can be exorbitant
depending on the sizes of the packages being sent. In

addition, online retailers may allow you to ship the gift
directly to its recipient, which can help you ensure the
gift gets to its destination on time.
Give gift cards and certicates. Gift cards are an
easy item to ship, and can be sent within the regular
mail for the cost of a stamp. Certain retailers may
have digital gift cards or certificates that allow buyers
to email a special code to the gift recipient, who can
then redeem the code for a purchase credit. This is a
convenient, fast and inexpensive way to send holiday
wishes.
Dont forget about inspections and customs
procedures. Items shipped out of the country may be
delayed by customs inspectors at their ultimate destination. Assume that certain packages may be opened
or detained, and ship such packages early so the gifts
still arrive on time. Packages that look unusual or like
theyre hiding something may be prone to inspection
more so than others. Be honest about declarations
of value and what is contained in the package. Also,
realize certain items, like fruits, vegetables, plants, or
seeds, may be prohibited. Learn the international shipping rules for
your gifts destination prior to sending anything.
Distant family members and friends may be out of sight but certainly not out of mind come the holidays. When it comes to sending
gifts, ship smart.
Gift Exchange Dos and Donts

Chanukah, Christmas and New Years Eve are right around the
corner. That means neighborhoods, buildings and stores will soon
be awash in holiday splendor. Social schedules will be full, and men
and women everywhere will shuffle to complete their holiday shopping.
Grab bags are a staple of this season of giving, and the following
are a few dos and donts to ensure participation in gift exchanges is
fun and friendly for all involved.
DO set a gift amount limit. Holiday grab bags are more about
having fun and exchanging a little something with friends and family
members than walking away with amazing prizes. Establish a spending limit so everyone receives a gift of roughly the same value and
no one feels slighted or left out.
DONT exceed the spending limit. It can be tempting to spend
more to make your gift appear more impressive. But overspending defeats the purpose of the gift exchange. Grab bags typically

are anonymous, so being overly

generous will not win you any style
points.
DO make it a game. Tossing gifts
in a bag only to have others reach
in and grab one is certainly effective. But the concept can be even
more fun if you make a game out of
it. Try passing wrapped gifts around
in a circle to a holiday song. When
the music stops, the gift you are
holding is the one you open. Experiment with your own variations
to make gift exchanges more fun.
DONT let anyone see the gift
you bring. The idea is to keep
things as secretive as possible so
as not to sway the selection of
presents.
DO ensure your gift is unisex.
Unless you know specifically that
only men or women will be opening the presents, select items that
will appeal to both genders. Food,
gift cards, music, or home staples make great grab bag gifts.
DONT forget to consider ages as well. Gift exchanges may
include both children and adults, so include gifts that appeal to all
ages when necessary. When the exchange has ended, allow participants to swap gifts if they want to.
DO expect some grab bag gifts to be gag gifts. Such gifts are

of humor and youre likely

DONT regift items to
use as grab bag picks.
Should the person who
gave you the gift participate in the grab bag, he or
she can trace that gift
back to you and may be
offended.
DO make sure everyone
is aware that there will be

The holiday season is a joyous and busy time of year.

Decking the halls, catching up with old friends and
holiday shopping make this time of year especially hectic.
Though the season is generally jolly, there are those
people who take advantage of the hectic nature of the
holiday season, preying on busy holiday shoppers who
may be understandably distracted as the season progresses. As a result, shoppers and holiday revelers should heed
the following precautions to ensure this holiday season is
as safe as it is festive.
1. Exercise caution at ATMs. Thousands of dollars
change hands at stores and banks this time of year. Potential thieves know that ATMs make good places to target
victims withdrawing funds for purchases. Shoppers should
Handmade Holiday Wreaths
choose ATMs that are well lit and withdraw money only
when banks are open. If thats not possible, avoid using
ATMs in remote locations or dark alcoves. Keep your eyes
fixed on your surroundings and be aware of the people
in your vicinity. Promptly pocket your money and do not
openly display your cash.
2. Keep purchases out of view. When shopping, keep
your purchases hidden from prospective thieves. Make
frequent trips to your car when shopping and store merchandise in the trunk of your car or in a cargo area with
a cover drawn. Once items have been brought home,
keep them well out of sight, stored in closets or away from
windows.
3. Only park in well-lit lots. Finding a parking space at
a busy mall can be difficult, but
be picky when choosing spots.
Try to park in a well-lit area in
a busy location and be aware of
the surrounding vehicles. If you
feel uncomfortable going back
to your car, ask a security guard
to escort you.
4. Shop in groups. Go to the
store with a group of friends.
There is safety in numbers and
having more eyes to look out is
to your advantage. Thieves are
less likely to approach a group
of people than a solitary person.
185 Lowell Road Hudson, NH 03051
5. Carry minimal items.
(Corner of Lowell Road and Executive Drive)
Always keep your hands free to
ward off any people in the event
Open: M-F 7:30am - 6pm, & Sat 7am - 1pm
of an attack. Bags and packages
weighing you down make you
an easy target.
6. Leave extra credit cards
at home. Carry only what you
need on a shopping excursion.
Do not carry your entire wallet
or extra credit cards. This only
puts you at greater risk of identity theft or fraud should you
lose your wallet.

A few simple strategies can help you save time and reduce stress this holiday season.
With so much on our plates between Thanksgiving and New Years

Day, the holiday season can be hectic. Fortunately, there are many
ways to save time and make the holiday season more manageable.
If you dont have plastic clips to hang lights around windows
and to the eaves of your home, inexpensive clothespins will work
just as well. If youre concerned about the color of the wooden clips,
paint them holiday hues before stringing the lights.
Put a bath mat, rug-side down and rubber-side up, beneath your
Christmas tree stand. This allows you to spin the tree as you hang
lights and ornaments without damaging the floor underneath. It also
makes it simple to undress the tree once the season is over. Use a
tree skirt to hide the mat.
Squeeze artificial tree portions into concrete form tubes. First
wrap the tree portions in twine and then slip them into the concrete
sleeves. Each tube can be stowed in attic or garage rafters, freeing up
precious space.
Use empty squirt bottles to make baking and cooking easier.
Pancake and cookie batters can be squirted from the containers for
less mess.
Store one or two strings of lights in a plastic shopping bag to
keep the strands from getting tangled. Hang the bags from a hook in
a garage or stack them in a storage bin.
Use plastic zip ties to attach garland and lights to bannisters.
Theyre easy to assemble and will not damage the bannisters.
A paper towel holder can be screwed to the wall in a craft room
to neatly hold spools of ribbon. Simply pull the length you need
from the spool and cut for easy decorating.
Mount a tree stand to a piece of wood with screws or glue. This
prevents spills from reaching the floor while stabilizing the tree.
Old maps make interesting gift wrap and are a nice change of
pace from commercially produced paper or newsprint.

Wrap duct tape or another type of sticky tape around your
hand. Pat over fallen pine needles that accumulate around the tree.
In hard-to-reach areas, wrap the tape around a broom or a floor
sweeper.
When traveling for the holidays, use a brightly colored suitcase
or flashy tape to make your suitcase stand out from others at the
airport.
Place hardened brown sugar in a baking dish, cover it with a
moist paper towel and either microwave it on high for 20-second
intervals or place it in a 300 F oven for five minutes. This will soften
the sugar, making it easier to use the sugar to prepare your favorite
holiday cookie recipes.
Save plastic bread ties, which can be used to make tags for the
wires on certain devices. Such ties also can be used to organize
decorating components and to keep your place on a roll of tape.
Measure the inside of your picture window and construct a
wooden frame to its dimensions. Staple holiday lights to the frame
and then easily slip the frame in and out of place each year.
Hang a live wreath or some boughs of evergreen in your home
to give it that fresh pine scent if you have an artificial tree.
Color-code storage containers so you can easily find holiday
decorations in the attic or basement.
Pack for a holiday excursion using a collapsible clothing storage
hanger for closets. Fold clothes on each fabric shelf and then collapse it into your suitcase. When you get to your destination, unfold
and hang it in a closet so all of your clothes will be at the ready.
Make the holidays even more enjoyable with a variety of timesavers and clever tips.

(MS) -- Whether its for a couple on their wedding day, a youngster just
graduating high school or as a birthday gift to a beloved family member,
cash has become an increasingly popular gift in recent years. Once considered impersonal, cash is now a go-to gift for shoppers whose foremost
concerns are putting smiles on their loved ones faces.
Those who still hesitate at the thought of giving an envelope full of cash,
take note: There are many clever ways to give green that make cash gifts just
as enjoyable to give as to receive.
* Steer clear of cold cash. Regardless of how thoughtful it may be, a greeting card with cash inside does not exactly elicit the warm sentiments synonymous with special occasions like weddings, graduations or the holiday
season. When giving monetary gifts, gifters might want to get a little more
creative. At Plumfund.com, thoughtful gift givers can set up a cash fund
for their loved ones free of charge. Contributors to this account can pledge
money in the form of cash or a personal check at no cost, or make direct
online payments into the account for a minimal processing fee. Once the
big day arrives, recipients will receive their gifts and no doubt appreciate the
less conventional but far more creative route chosen by their loved ones.
Gifters who make online contributions can do so through Plumfunds
integrated WePay solution, a simple two-step system that makes it easy for
recipients to withdraw their money, make an electronic transfer to a personal
bank account or choose a paper check, all without incurring withdrawal
fees. Recipients may also choose to have their cash gifts immediately deposited into their PayPal accounts.

thing too personal, such as clothing, perfume or

jewelry. Food or gift cards are a safer bet. Experts
say a gift in the range of $10 to $25 is adequate.
Chipping in for a gift with other employees may
be the best course of action so you dont inspire
resentment among coworkers.
Boss
Gifting the boss is a sensitive subject and
should be dictated by company protocol. If you
are the only employee to buy your boss a gift, it
may seem like you are trying to curry favor. However, if everyone else is gifting and you fail to offer
a gift, you may be caught off guard.
Some business etiquette experts say that it is
customary for bosses to give gifts to employees
but not the reverse. However, employees who are
especially close with their bosses or who work
closely with them each day may want to offer a
small token of appreciation.
When selecting gifts for bosses, do not give any-
Babysitter or nanny
Caregivers play important roles in the lives of
children. Once you have found a sitter or nanny
who you trust, you want to ensure you keep that
person content. If you regularly use a nanny or
sitter, money is always a great gift. For a full-time
nanny, one week to one months pay is adequate.
For a regular sitter, consider a gift equal to two
nights pay.

nient than swiping debit or credit cards when making purchases big and
small. This is especially true when gifting recently minted grads or newlyweds about to head overseas, where swiping a credit or debit card is far
easier than waiting in currency exchange lines at airports or hotels. Gifters
who want to make their cash gifts even more convenient can purchase a
prepaid debit or credit card that recipients can use anywhere, whether its
buying trinkets at an overseas souvenir shop or filling up the car with fuel on
a post-graduation road trip.
* Pool your resources. Another unique way to give cash gifts is to pool
your resources with fellow loved ones. Plumfund.com does not restrict the
number of people who can contribute to a given account, making it much
easier for family members to pool their resources when gifting cash to their
loved ones. This is especially convenient when loved ones have expensive
big-ticket items on their holiday wish lists or wedding registries.
Such was the case with David, a soon-to-be 60-year-old avid skiier who
aimed to hit the slopes in Colorado for a few days. Recognizing his love
of skiing, Davids family and friends organized a Plumfund for him, raising
$860 that David used to finance his trip, including his flight to Colorado,
ski rentals, accommodations, and even some money for a night out on the
town. Once a Plumfund account has been established, gifters can get the
word out to their loved ones via social media, email or by word of mouth.
Cash has become an increasingly popular and convenient option when
gifting loved ones on special occasions. Gifters now have a host of options at
their disposal to make their cash gifts more unique.

Coach or club leader

Children today are involved in many different
activities, and chances are parents schedules are
filled with sports games and practices. A small
gift of $10 to $20 can show your appreciation to
a coach or club leader. This is another instance
when it might be nice to pool your resources with
fellow parents to purchase one large gift.
Mail carrier
If your mail is delivered by the same mail carrier week after week, you may want to spread some
holiday joy. Mail carriers have an extra workload
during the holidays, when they are tasked with
delivering packages and greeting cards in addition
to more routine mail. Civil servants may be forbidden from receiving cash. In such instances, a gift
card makes a great gift.
Trash collector
Hauling garbage is neither an easy nor glamorous job. Many garbage collectors appreciate a tip
for their hard work. Take notice of who collects
the trash from your home. If it is the same people
each week, take the time to personally deliver an
envelope with a small tip of around $20.
Hairstylist
If you are a regular for frequent treatments and
color in a salon, show the stylist you appreciate
his or her work with a cash gift. If you want to
give a wrapped present, avoid tools of the trade
or anything that is too personal. Stylists are on
their feet much of the day, so a gift for a massage
appointment or pedicure may be just what they
need.

Citizens Bank Invites Public to Set #AnExtraPlate

to Feed 100,000 Neighbors in Need
Bank kicks off #GivingTuesday global giving event with social media program that empowers others
submitted by Citizens Bank
To help some of the more than 49 million
Americans who are food insecure, Citizens
Bank kicked off #GivingTuesday on Dec. 2 with
#AnExtraPlate, a social media campaign that will
provide 100,000 meals to Americans who struggle
to put food on their tables.
Simply set a plate, snap a photo of it, and
tweet it out with #AnExtraPlate to @CitizensBank
throughout the holiday season. Or on Facebook,
share a photo to your timeline with #AnExtraPlate,
tag Citizens Bank, and set the post as public. For
every plate shared with the bank online, Citizens
Bank will donate a meal to a local food bank, up
to 100,000 meals.
The holidays are a time of gathering together
with family and friends, often enjoying a meal, but
sadly, many arent able to participate in this time
honored tradition, said Joe Carelli, Citizens Bank
New Hampshire president. You may not be able
to invite all those who are hungry to your holiday
table, but you can help by setting an extra plate
for them, and feeding them

virtually by participating in
#AnExtraPlate.
Food insecurity is a problem
in even this countrys wealthiest
cities. For example, over
40,000 children and adults go
without meals in Hillsborough
County. There are nearly
26,000 food insecure citizens in
Rockingham County, and over
14,000 in Merrimack County. Citizens Bank has
made a commitment to help those who struggle
to put food on their tables in the communities
where it does business. Through Citizens Helping
Citizens Fight Hunger, Citizens Bank has provided
more than 2.2 million meals in 2014 alone.
Giving Tuesday is a global day dedicated to
giving back. On Tuesday, Dec. 2, charities,
families, businesses, community centers, and
students around the world came together for one
common purpose: to celebrate generosity and

One hundred and fifty pounds of sausage stuffing was being
rotated in the oven, Chief Rudy was making gravy and turkey wings
were being roasted. Ever have a turkey wing? That was a special
treat at 7:30 in the morning for the early Saturday crew who found
it amazing. Buffet pans kept coming in from the well where the
big three squash, sweet potatoes and regular potatoes are cooked,
water drained off. Then, using a special mixing head on a one
horsepower drill, each was mixed and butter was added by the
pound and scooped into the buffet pans, which were covered with
aluminum foil and labeled to be kept warm.
Back in the main room, all the breast meat has been sliced, and
the assembly line is intact. John Weldon lines up the cookers in
the same order as they were last year and the many years before
that. In the firing range, Tammy Curran, the second generation of
the Knox family to organize and run the event, has people filling
the gravy containers as fast as Chef Rudy has it made.
Other people are coming into the club; it is 10 oclock. The
assembly line is ready except for the peas. Its 10:20 a.m., and one
of the giant pots is being carried in by two large men.
Weldon is showing first timers how to hold two Styrofoam
containers at once and explaining to the servers how much is
the standard portion. At 10:30 it starts. There are eight cases
of 150 each of the Styrofoam containers, and the first meals are
assembled. The containers move to the firing range, where the
gravy container, cranberry sauce, rolls, fresh fruit and, of course,
pies are put together. Meals are counted, drivers are instructed,
and bags are labeled with the address and directions. Tammy
has been setting up this computerized labeling system for several
months. And out the back door the complete meals go.
Lets not forget that the Fish and Game Club still doesnt have

any electrical power from the grid as these meals leave the club
and is still run on a generator.
While I only mentioned a few of the volunteers by name, many,
many more worked for weeks to make this happen. Everyone has
been making this a very special day for 1,300 people who needed
a hot meal.
Hopefully your dinner without power had the great ending as
did this one. Many Thumbs Up to everyone involved.

another school year. According to his contract, the present
superintendent was to receive a one-year notice should the board
decide not to renew his contract. The board was serving him that
notice.
In speaking with Superintendent Lane, he stated, (The) board
asked of me to work on my communication, specifically with the
implementation of procedural policies. I was also asked to work
more closely with the board in communicating a more accurate
picture of the things that were happening within the school system.
Bisson continued reading from her statement, At this time I
would ask for a motion from the board to enter into negotiations
with Bryan Lane to extend his contract and continue servicing as the
Superintendent of Schools beyond the 2014-2015 school years.
The Hudson School Board voted 5-0 in favor of continuing
negotiation discussions with Lane.
Superintendent Lane commented, I appreciate the boards help in
becoming a better leader. I look forward to continuing to work with
the school district after having worked for the Town of Hudson for 17
years.
Lane further stated, As we enter the contract negotiations, we will
examine other school districts similar to Hudson with regards to pay
and benefits. Once we have agreed on that contract, it will become a
public document for all to review.

The Litchfield Lady Raiders basketball team is dedicating this season to Lauren Hill. Lauren was
diagnosed with DIPG, a form of brain cancer. She is a strong young lady and continued to play basketball
all through her six weeks of radiation. She is an inspiration to the community. Lauren attends Mount
St. Joseph University, Cincinnati, Ohio, where she is a member of the basketball team. Lauren captured
Americas heart when she insisted on playing even just one game with her college team. Lauren
continues to be a spokesperson, fundraiser and advocate for other kids battling brain cancer through The
Cure Starts Now Foundation.

The Gruberization of Climate

by Joseph DAleo, Certied Consulting Meteorologist (CCM)
Despite the administration and mainstream medias continued
emphasis on so-called global warming to support their
ideological agendas, there are many scientists around the world
who strive to educate the populace through editorials, interviews
and debates on the real climate change story. One such person,
Dr. Gordon Fulks, worked with me and other scientists on amicus
briefs to the DC Circuit and Supreme Court on the failed science of
the UN and EPA.
In debates, he has had to fight the arguments that the science is
settled with 97 percent in agreement, and the 18-year pause does
not exist with this year being the warmest year on record. These
claims are fabricated.
The 97 percent claim of support among scientists is complete
fraud. The Petition Project: http://www.petitionproject.org, which
collected the signatures of 31,000 American scientists, 9,000 of us
with PhDs, demonstrated that the claims of overwhelming support
are completely bogus. Support among scientists who earn their
living from climate hysteria is probably that high but not among
those with similar training who do not.
A study of the professional members of the American
Meteorological Society (Stenhouse, et al., BAMS 2013) showed
support at about 50 percent, depending on the question asked. A
recent study by Legates et al showed support for the most extreme
positions that CO2 is causing everything and we are headed for
catastrophe is less than 1 percent.
Temperatures have flat-lined in all the satellite and ground-based
data sets for 18 years.
Using the actual data that goes into the forecast models for the
seven-day forecasts you see on TV and the internet, we find the
global anomaly was a mere +0.07C in November and for the year
to date a measly +0.11C, far short of the +0.68C warmest ever
anomaly that NOAA claimed last month. One modeler told me,
It was obvious to me since about April that NOAA had decided
that 2014 was going to be the hottest year ever. The White House
needed this for their political objectives. It appears Grubers
ideas have legs. See a recent editorial at right in blue box from Dr.
Weather Whys
and Climate Wise
Gordon J. Fulks. Reprinted with permission.

Finally, in response to a recent HLN letter championing the UN
and saying their work says my presented facts must be wrong, I
post a link to this story by TV Meteorologist and college professor
Art Horn. Art has appeared with me on Hudson Cable TV hourlong climate discussions. http://icecap.us/index.php/go/politicalclimate/ipcc_5th_assessment_is_very_confident_that_theyre_not_
sure/.
And in this post, http://wattsupwiththat.com/2014/04/26/twoscathing-reviews-by-scholars-working-with-the-ipcc-show-whythe-organization-is-hopelessly-corrupted-by-politics, read how two
well-known IPCC lead authors quit the IPCC during the attempts to
prepare the latest Summary for Policymakers because they felt the
science was being seriously corrupted by politics. They are just the
latest in the growing list of IPCC scientists who quit because they
did not want their name associated with the UN reports.
Joe DAleo, a Hudson resident for the last 25 years, cofounded The Weather Channel and served as its first director of
meteorology back in 1982. With more than 40 years of experience
in professional meteorology, he has served as chief meteorologist
for Weatherbell Analytics since 2011. As a fellow of the American
Meteorologist Society, he has testified about weather and climate
before federal and state legislatures and taken the science lead on
legal briefs to the D.C. circuit and U.S. Supreme courts. Let Joe

Politics and Alarmism have

no Place in Climate Science
by Dr. Gordon J. Fulks
When Professor Chris Folland of the British Hadley Centre for
Climate Prediction and Research said: The data doesnt matter.
Were not basing our recommendations on the data. Were basing
them on the climate models, he was being exceedingly honest
about the way alarmists view science.
Because of the subsequent uproar, he is now willing to admit some
role for robust scientific data. But he still seems unable to clearly
separate storytelling and computer simulations from real science.
He should know that if it is not anchored in logic and evidence, it
is not science. Non-scientists may find this difficult to understand,
because they have been fed a steady diet of climate alarmism from
the media. Tall tales, anchored in consensus (politics) and belief
(religion) are not science.
Appropriate scientific education is also lacking among prominent
alarmists such as Dr. Rajendra Pachauri, chairman of the UNs
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, and Dr. Ralph
Cicerone, president of the National Academy of Sciences. Railroad
and electrical engineers should be able to understand this topic, but
these two certainly do not.
Past presidents of the NAS who were genuine scientists, such as
Dr. Philip Handler, had a better understanding: Scientists best serve
public policy by living within the ethics of science, not those of
politics. If the scientific community will not unfrock the charlatans,
the public will not discern the difference - science and the nation
will suffer.
What about Folland? It turns out that he has only a bachelors
degree in physics, hardly enough education to be a real professor.
Yet he has won many awards for adhering to the paradigm. Could
he be correct that climate simulations actually work? A report by
alarmists in the Proceedings of the NAS (Santer 2012) contained the
striking admission that their models are high by a factor of two in
predicting the global temperature trend. Of course, that admission
was buried where no one saw it. Another critique by climatologist
Dr. John Christy showed that the models are wrong by a factor of
3.5 in the tropical mid-troposphere where there is supposed to be a
hotspot caused by carbon dioxide warming. Robust satellite and
radiosonde data show no hotspot.
What about the unusual warming recently claimed by President
Barack Obamas National Climate Assessment 2014? The only thing
unusual has been the lack of global warming for more than 15 years.
The Arctic did warm more than any other region after 1975, the
tropics only slightly and the Antarctic not at all. But the Arctic also
warmed significantly after 1900, to a peak around 1940 that was
warmer than today. Surprise! Our climate is cyclical over decades!
Thats an ocean effect, not a CO2 effect.
With climate models that do not work, with a missing hotspot, and
no net global warming in a long while, the governments scientific
case for alarm strikes out. The San Francisco Examiner had it right in
1888: There is no joy in Mudville, mighty Casey has struck out.

University of Chicago, Laboratory for Astrophysics and Space
Research.
