Hudson Recreation Summer

Program Opens with 260 Campers
Outside in the shade are Haylie and staer Brittney Lambert

making bracelets Monday afternoon.
Jake and Cameron might seem to be an odd pair to

be playing one-on-one basketball, but these friends
are having a good time.

Everyone is busy, and Legos and everywhere. Fun not neatness is what counts.
Coloring is being promoted as calming for every age group; it certainly seems that way at the coloring table on Monday.

Monday afternoon was hot, but you would
not know it at the Hudson Community Center
as both inside and outside of the center were
260 smiling, although a little sweaty, faces of
children ages 8 to 14.
And for all those parents reading this, there
was a light blue-shirted staff member with every
group of children, whether it was a one-on-one
activity such as bracelet making or basketball
games inside and out. You could also see a lot
of drinks for everyone. In one corner Legos
were everywhere - the table, the chairs and the
oor. It is amazing that coloring does calm
everyone, which could only be measured by the
lack of conversation around that table.
Summer Program Director Frank Girginis

attendance for a long time. Both he and

Recreation Director Dave Yates did have a strong
statement of what brought so many children to
the programs first day. Speculation was that the
early date of school closing this year might have
played into the number. Hudson schools last
day was the 15th, over 10 days ago. But both
guys smiling mentioned that the year-after-year
success of the program was the reason.
This first week had a modified schedule,
without skating on Tuesday but a field trip on
Thursday to Pawtuckaway State Park, and on
Friday the campers will be testing the waters at
Robinson Pond.
There is still time to get your children involved
with the program. Just check with the staff at the
community center.

A Strawberry Festival that Takes

Residents Back to a Simpler Time
Brooklynn Anderson is all smiles as dad Josh makes the open mouth sign for the strawberry shortcake
as her mom, Amy, watches. Amys parents mentioned that they had moved to Litchfield
when Amy was Brooklynns age, and everybody still lives in town.

A staff member, whose photos you have seen in the papers, has
been trying to get the best picture he can of the wild animals who
visit his back yard, including a gray fox. I felt we should share that
image this week. You can see how alert my wild brother is, but,
then again, my hope is no one is taking pictures of me when I am
out at night.
Thinking about being out at night, Tuesday, the Fox was out on
School Street. Well, not out but at the selectmens meeting, the
Sustainability Awards event for Earth Day was made very special
for these children as they were recognized and congratulated by
the selectmen.
Unfortunately, after that, the tension of someone not getting
their way was there at every turn. The question, which the Fox is
good at asking - should what happen at the Planning Board make
a difference with selectmens decisions? Should the actions of the
two different boards be just that? Also with this application, if it is

Looking north at 74 and 76 Lowell Road c. 1977

submitted by Ruth Parker
This week we look north from Birch and Lowell
streets onto 74 and 76 Lowell Rd. Prior to 1966,
74 Lowell Road was home to Xavier and Exillia
Gagnon and their family. At that time they moved
to a house on B Street in Hudson. Xavier was
employed and later retired from Johns Manville
Products Corp of Nashua. He passed in 1969
after living in Hudson for 43 years. His family
included his wife, Exillia, two sons, two daughters
and four grandchildren. By 1966 the house at
74 Lowell Rd. was removed and soon replaced
with The Hudson 66 Service Station; it is now a
Sunoco Station.
By 1970, 76 Lowell Road was under
construction and it became the home of Star Dry

Cleaners, later Antons Cleaners. By 1977, as
shown in this weeks photo, it was the location
of Halls Market. By 1980 the site expanded to
include Halls Market, Prime Graphics, Superior
Floor Company, and Suzies Donut and Coffee
Shop. Over time Halls Market transitioned to
Palmers Market, Suzies Diner became Kays, and
other business transitioned to Shear Paradise and
Kays Laundry, more recently D+D Laundry.
Contrast this photo with the busy intersection at
Birch Street we see today and the filled parking lot
across the way. Photo taken for publication in the
Town in Transition and is part of the Historical
Society Collection.

No Aircraft for Iran

Boeing Co. recently cut a deal with Iran Air to sell it 100 Boeing 737s
and 777s worth about $25 billion, which is a nice contract for Boeing and
its employees.
Unfortunately Iran Air has used passenger and cargo planes to transport
military equipment to Syria and other Middle East countries, and there
is nothing to prevent them from continuing this practice. Some of the
military shipments included materials for advanced weapons, and rockets
and missiles. Furthermore, it is possible these planes could be used to move
troops and could possibly be converted to bombers
The U.S. could revoke the license to sell the aircraft if Iran violates the
agreement, but Iran would have control of the previously delivered aircraft
at that time.
Congress should not approve this contract. If it is approved, delivery
of the aircraft should be stretched out over an extended number of years.
Additionally, we should install back door disabling software in each aircraft
which we can energize at our discretion.

In My Opinion...
VRA Restoration Bills Ensure
that All Have a Voice
by Alejandro Urrutia
Saturday, June 25, marked three years since the Shelby County v.
Holder Supreme Court in a 5-4 decision removed the Voting Rights
Act (VRA) provision requiring state and local governments to obtain
federal approval before amending voting laws. This unfortunate
decision led to widespread voting discrimination across America.
In the wake of the Shelby decision, states and localities that
were no longer under federal oversight pushed through laws
that have increased barriers to voting, resulting in a torrent of
voter discrimination. A previously active voters have been
disenfranchised, voting strength of people of color and language
minorities has been diluted and voters have suffered inexcusable
obstructions to their right to vote.
The Republican congressional leadership is now obstructing two
bipartisan bills that would restore the VRA, thereby allowing voting
suppression to continue unchecked.
Since the VRA was eliminated, we have seen an alarming
increase in state legislation that creates barriers to voting and
undermines the voting strength of people of color and language
minorities. States and localities are making it harder for minorities
to participate in our democratic political system.
If the VRA were still intact, state legislators would have been
required to prove that changes to state voting laws would not
deny voting rights to minorities. But freed from oversight and
accountability, these states and localities are disenfranchising
thousands of their citizens.
Although a handful of Republican lawmakers have stepped

up to support the bipartisan legislation to restore the VRA, many
members of Congress have refused to take action to move the bills.
By refusing to act, lawmakers have been complicit in turning back
the clock on 50 years of progress to ensure that all Americans have
the right to vote. This is why, with the upcoming election, NH need
change now. In recent primaries we have seen the widespread
voter discrimination minorities have faced. Unless
Congress acts soon, 2016 will be the first presidential election
in 50 years where voters will lack the full protections of the VRA to
combat racial discrimination in voting.
These VRA restoration bills are bipartisan, with broad support
from voters from all races, parties and beliefs. Most importantly,
these bills are desperately needed to ensure that all Americans,
including minorities, can fully exercise our right to vote. Senators
were elected to represent and, heading into the 2016 presidential
election, they need to ensure that all have a voice and a vote by
supporting a VRA restoration.
In My Opinion is strictly an OP-ED column that stands on the
opinion of one writer, Alejandro Urrutia, as opposed to a newspaper
reporter who does not provide an opinion but reports the facts. This
column, in many instances, is a counterpoint to published stories
and does not reect the unbiased reporting policy of the Hudson
Litchfield News or the opinion of the management, advertisers and
ownership of Area News Group.
Goodbye, Mr. Lane
It seems strange that at the Alvirne graduation there was no

mention of the long-term Alvirne principal and now Hudson
superintendent leaving SAU 81.
But I guess that is the way things go when you leave for a new
position somewhere else. Fourteen years as the principal of Alvirne
High School and four years as superintendent.
How does a Student Administrative Unit say goodbye?
Well, in Hudson, this time they will have a check ready
for Lane on June 30 for 53,000 dollars and that is just a
going-away present. This does not include the salary that he
receives for his work. This is just because he is leaving and
was smart enough to have a great contract with a leaving
notice bonus of $15,000, and, for reasons we wont be able
to ask about for 25 years as the minute of the non public
session were sealed, a severance pay agreement of $38,000.
Remember that Lane resigned. There sure were many times in
the four years that Superintendent Lanes contract was called into
question. One time the contract was not renewed at the scheduled
time, one year it was known that the school board was not going to
renew it --a polite way of saying youre done-- when the year ends.
Even with new faces on the school board things did not seem all
warm and fuzzy.
Then in March, Lane handed in his resignation. Well, that was
what we were led to believe, but the school boards minutes were
sealed for 25 years. Yes, I know I mentioned that in an earlier
paragraph; somehow it just seems strange, but enough of that. With
Lanes last check being public record, lets see what how the SAU
business staff broke it down for us:
Separation pay per employment contract
$15,000.00
Severance pay agreement
$38,000.00
FICA (7.65%) district paid, but not to Lane
$4,054.50
NH retirement (11.17%) district paid, but not to Lane
$5,920.10
Federal withholding, a personnel matter not releasable
Lane was not paid for unused vacation time per contract
Total Cost to School District
$62,974.60
Whats precious to
you is precious to us.
I want to say goodbye and thank you to Mr. Lane; somehow on

most meetings we greeted each other with the term Mister. I have
to report that in both his positions as principal and superintendent,
he always had an open door for the Hudson~Litchfield News.
Whether it was good news types of stories or the occasional
someone-was-bad
meetings, Lane
always was up
front and answered
the questions the
best he could,
respecting the
legal stipulation of
personnel matters.
I believe we both
smiled when I said I have to ask and he would say, due to it being
a personnel matter, I can comment.
We talked on football sidelines, both home and away games, we
spoke at bus accidents, we spoke when he had to ride the buses to
see why schedules were not being met, we spoke at the EDies,
(The NH Excellence in Education Awards) the school-wide award
celebration when Alvirne was School of the Year. We spoke when
tractors tipped over; we spoke at the beginnings of school years
when teachers got watches for 25 years of service. We spoke when
the Early Learning Center concept was introduced and when it
worked for the betterment of Hudson education. I guess we talked
a lot.
Well, Bryan, let me say that I have enjoyed working with you and
you have my utmost respect for the job you have done for all the
Hudson students who passed through the school system under your
watchful eyes.
Maybe this is what happens and how it goes down when you
have a professional educator and administrator working with an
ever-changing board of dedicated but elected and volunteer school
board members who come from many different walks of life and
bring many different skill sets. They, for the most part, stay about
three years, one term. Some do stay longer and some even come
back to serve after they say they are not going to run again.
Thinking of another column that appears in the HLN, I cant resist
closing with this: maybe somebody was outfoxed in this one. If
youre here in 25 years maybe
you can ask under the Right
to Know Law.

Try my Guide
to Europe
and Live
All About
ME a Little
I know that with the whole Brexit thing that some of you might
be apprehensive to travel to Europe.
Basically the Republicans think that Britain leaving the
European Union is a good thing and the Democrats think its
a bad thing. People focus way too much on why events and
certain situations are good or bad. Sometimes things are what
they are. They are just facts and they are just events. The people
voted. It was their choice. It was democracy at work. People
should be celebrating that humanity has come as far as to allow
the people of Britain to vote and then to honor their wishes by
separating peacefully from the EU. There was no war. Instead
we have the Democrats shouting that the people were wrong
and Europe needs to be united. Then we have the Republicans
(by Republicans I mean Trump) rejoicing in Britains new found
independence. Im just happy that it was done democratically
and without a war. Not sure if that makes me simple or naive.
What will this mean for Europe going forward? Im not sure.
Might more countries pull out? Maybe. Will Britain suffer some
immediate financial repercussions? Definitely. As of what will
happen to Europe and Britain overall? I dont know. Will it be
safe to travel? I dont think it will be any more dangerous than
the U.S.
The threat of terrorism shouldnt prevent U.S. citizens from
enjoying Europe. I dont know the exact statistics, but I dont
think that the threat of a terrorist attack happening in Europe is
any greater than a terrorist attack in the U.S. I also dont think
that most European cities are any more dangerous than say
Chicago or Detroit.
If you are feeling apprehensive about Europe due to the
migrant crisis, Brexit, and possible terrorist attacks, I would
probably avoid Eastern Europe. Do go to Croatia though because
it is absolutely stunning! The waterfalls are just breathtaking.
Northern Europe would probably be the safest bet. A lot of those
countries were recently name as the safest countries according to
Easy Planet Travel. Finland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Iceland,
and Ireland all made the list. Those countries are going to be
much more expensive than lets say Greece, but they will be
much safer.
Anyways, enough of the serious talk and the gloom and doom.
Its summer time! Everyone is thinking about their amazing
summer plans. Obviously I recommend going to Europe.
Im obsessed with traveling. What can I say, I like expensive
hobbies. Americans kind of have a bad reputation in Europe.
We go there and were loud, rude and obnoxious. Plus we dont
handle our liquor as well as they do.
Europeans can spot an American from a mile away; they
can even tell us apart from the Canadians. Unless I hear a
Canadian speak, I cant even do that. Europeans also think that
all Americans are similar to the ones they see on our reality TV
shows. So basically crazy, dumb, over emotional, and a bunch
of drunks.
If you do plan on going anywhere in Europe this summer,
follow my guidelines and you just may not be disliked and you
will have a super fun time!
Unless you know how to drive a standard I wouldnt
recommend renting a car in Europe. Its harder to find an
automatic to rent. Trying to figure it out on a rental car in a
foreign country is a bad idea. Some of the drivers there are
absolutely crazy. Plus the roads may be slightly difficult to
navigate depending on where you are. I would just stick to
public transportation.
In Ireland tell people that you are from Boston. They love
Boston. They call it their little Dublin. If you say youre from
New Hampshire theyre going to give you a strange look because
no one knows where New Hampshire is. People who live in
America dont know where New Hampshire is.
Italy is one of the few countries where the people absolutely
love Americans. I dont know why. Try to avoid Naples though,
especially at night, as you will get robbed. Make Pompeii a
day trip from Rome. They have a high-speed train, so you can
definitely get there and back in a day. If you go to Pompeii in
the summer there isnt a lot of shade and it is unbearably hot. So
wear a ton of sunscreen because you will burn and it will be bad
and it will ruin your trip.
Never ask why something isnt in English or why nobody
speaks English. I was in some museum when I heard a loud
American ask in a southern drawl why something wasnt in
English. I was embarrassed. When youre in a foreign country
you cant just demand English. It doesnt work like that. If
someone went up to you in the U.S and just started talking to
you in a foreign language you would just be like um no. Just
deal with it and figure it out quietly to yourself. Most tourist
places and main cities will have people that speak English, with
the exception of Hungary. It was hard finding people who spoke
English in Hungary.
There are also no well fed people in Europe, for lack of a
better phrase. I thought I saw a well fed European person
once, but then they opened their mouth I realized that they were
American.
Dont try to be cool and say football when talking about soccer
in Europe. Just say soccer -- they know what you mean. They
will make fun of you for it. If you say football theyll think youre
talking about American football and everyone is going to get
confused. Football Hooliganism isnt as big as a problem as
it once was, but it still is a problem. Just dont watch a football
game at a non-touristy pub and pay attention to which teams are
playing. Some have a bigger rivalry than others.
Here is some terminology so you dont get confused while
talking to someone when youre over there. Hens and stags are
bachelor and bachelorette parties, the queue means a line, and
pissed means drunk not angry.
The best thing to see is the Red Light District in Amsterdam.
It is perfectly safe. Obviously dont bring any children with
you. Its just a sight that you have to see. Going in a completely
opposite direction, the Vatican is the most stunning building
you will ever see. There are also the Plitvice Lakes in Croatia.
Neuschwanstein Castle in Munich is the one that Walt Disney
modeled Cinderellas Castle after. Take the tour inside, its
breathtaking. Go on the old rickety bridge that always has
hundreds of people on it. Although you might fall to your death
because all the sharp and pointy rocks down below, it is where
you get the best picture.
Europe is fun, and, even with everything going on, I still
recommend going. Its good to see a little bit of culture and
experience the world. If you live your life in your own little
world its gonna get boring and lonely. Live a little.

School District Retirees Recognized
Tim Buxton with Stacy Milbouer

submitted by Hudson School District
The Hudson School Board recognized the
educators, all dedicated and hard working, who
retired this year from the Hudson School District.
Those retirees who attended the meeting on June
20 were Ann Desrosiers, Curtis King, Marianne
Hedges, Marilyn Martellini and Tim Buxton.
Absent were Kathy Baronas, Dianne Buczynski,
Leslie Liakos and Sue Wright.
Tim Buxton
Tim Buxton leaves the Culinary Arts program
as the only chef in the 24-year history of the
program. He has been the leader of the Checkers
Restaurant, always deferring the credit to students.
He most enjoys the behind the scenes aspect of
seeing students in their own chef and supporting
roles. Tim has championed that all students from
every background and experience are welcome in
the Culinary Arts kitchen. Tim will be missed in
his transition and he is wished the best always.
Ann Desrosiers
Ann Desrosiers positive demeanor, love of
learning and desire to help prepare students for
their middle school years has been shared with,
by now, over a thousand students during her 46
years of teaching in Hudson. Ann has always
been fair and consistent with her students insuring
they are responsible, respectful and safe.
Ann has accepted all students and over the
years has been very accommodating to a range
of students needs. Ann models what a life-long
learner embodies.
Ann has always been involved in the
community of the school at large. Whenever
there is an activity sponsored by the PTO
or school district, Ann participates. She is
generous in her support of students and fellow
staff members. She served on the Bensons Park
Committee and was very involved with Mals Pals
who fundraised and erected an amphitheater at
Bensons to honor a former Hills Garrison student.
She even decorated her own sled, her version of
Cool Runnings, for the sled dog derby to raise
money for Mals Pals.
Ann has worked hard to prepare hundreds
of students for the middle school, helping
Marianne Hedges and Phyllis Schlichter
Ann Desrosiers and Phyllis Schlichter
them to develop greater independence as a

year progresses. Through her dedication and
commitment to teaching she has had a profound
impact upon many students. Ann has been an
asset to the Hudson School District and is very
deserving of a wonderful retirement.
Marianne Hedges
Marianne Hedges has spread her warmth and
genuineness at Alvirne over the past decade plus.
She has been an accomplished English teacher
and exceptionally dedicated member of the Class
Act family. Marianne has unselfishly given of her
time to theater and all its activities in a very kind
and supporting role. She deserves an Academy
Award for her work as a supporting drama
mama.
Curtis King
Curtis is a 17-year veteran of the Hudson
Memorial School staff. He is a sixth grade Social
Studies teacher and for the last three years, has
been the Social Studies Department Head. In
his tenure at Hudson Memorial School, he has
continually gone above and beyond for the benefit
of the entire school community.
Curtis is a thoughtful, kind, caring, charismatic,
extremely knowledgeable and hardworking
member of the Social Studies team. He is highly
respected by his peers and valued dearly by the
entire school community. Students who have had
the good fortune of being in Mr. Kings sixth grade
class have benefitted from his high expectations,
real world experiences and his genuine love for
his content.
In his career, Mr. he has been a member of the
district-wide Social Studies Curriculum revision
team, a sixth grade team leader, a Bowling Club
Advisor, a Geography Bee Advisor and Organizer,
the Social Studies Department Head, and the 6th
Grade Lunch Duty Captain. In his many roles,
Curtis has been a tremendous leader for both the
staff and students of Hudson Memorial School.
His efforts have always revolved around students
and because of that his opinion is always sought
after and valued.

Curtis always will be remembered as an
exceptional educator and person. He is a
respected and dedicated member of our staff, and
he will truly be missed.
Marilyn Martellini
Marilyn Martellini is retiring this year after
43 years in education, 35 of those years in the
Hudson School District. When she first came
to Hudson, Marilyn worked at memorial as a
department head of fifth grade and then the
language arts department. From HMS, she moved
to Nottingham West, first as assistant principal,
then as principal. For the past 15 years, she has
been principal at Hills Garrison School where she
is revered by staff, students and parents.
Marilyn has a reputation for being friendly,
outgoing, positive and hard working. Throughout
her years in Hudson, Marilyns commitment to the
students of this community has been evidenced

Everyone at Cookies works hard to make your dining experience

a positive and pleasurable one. Several years ago, when the banks
were over the top with credit card fees Cookies went all cash
and introduced the rewards card to give those fees back to our
customers. Clearly the idea was a good one as we have issued over
2,000 rewards card to date. But a Cookies rewards card is more
than just a thank you card it is just like a gift card. With every use
you build up value that you can spend as you like on future food
and beverage purchases; use some or all of what is on your card.
Build up the value and take the family out without digging into your
pocket.
Now, credit card processing has changed and beginning July
15, Cookies will once again accept your major credit card, with
the exception of American Express, through the square processing
system.
As you may know, some months ago we began offering dinner on
Friday and Saturday evenings from 4:30 to 8:30. This was quite a
deviation from just breakfast for which we are so well known. So,
we had to go through a learning curve and, again, beginning July
15, we will not only offer our ever changing dinner menu, but we
will introduce a regular fixed menu that you can count on every
week. Feel free to let us know if there is something special you
would like to have included.
But the biggest change coming to the Chuck Wagon is the
beginning of BYOB. Yes, you will be able to bring your own
alcoholic beverage when you come for dinner. No longer will you
need to pay for those overpriced drinks. Due to liquor liability
insurance regulations, there will be some restrictions, so give us a
call at 880-3424 for all the details.
So, no matter whether you are looking for breakfast, lunch or
dinner or if you need a place for a small group gathering (catered
or bring your own special family favorites) you need look no further
than Cookies Chuck Wagon. We are conveniently located in the
Central Street Plaza, 222 Central St. in beautiful Hudson, across
from Benson Park. We have plenty of parking and a ramped entry
for the handicapped plus we keep a wheelchair and walker on site
if needed.
We look forward to seeing you real soon.

Ayotte Urges Passage of

Funding for Zika, Military
Construction, Veterans
submitted by the Office of U.S. Senator Kelly Ayotte
Following the Senates failure to advance the Military Construction and Veterans Affairs Appropriations
bill for Fiscal Year 2017, which includes critical funding to fight the Zika virus and other important
New Hampshire priorities, U.S. Senator Kelly Ayotte urged her colleagues to swiftly take up and pass
legislation to meet these needs.
Its sad that Democrats chose to play politics and contrive objections to funding we need to fight
Zika, support critical infrastructure and facilities for our military including important projects at the
Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, Pease Air National Guard Base, and the NH National Guard and provide
services for our veterans and their families, said Senator Ayotte. Zika is an urgent public health,
national security, and economic security threat, and I have repeatedly voted for emergency funding to
fight this crisis. Weve got to put politics aside on important issues like this, and I urge my colleagues to
pass this bill.
Tuesdays bill was blocked in a 52-48 vote (60 votes required to advance), despite the fact that Planned
Parenthood is not once mentioned in the legislation. The bill provides the same access to health care
services as the Obama administrations request by allowing reimbursement to providers (including
Planned Parenthood) through public health plans, such as Medicaid. And the bill even goes beyond
the administrations request to expand access to services through more funding for Community Health
Centers, public health departments and hospitals in areas most affected by the Zika virus.
Senator Ayotte successfully worked to include key provisions for Pease Air National Guard Base,
Portsmouth Naval Shipyard and the New Hampshire National Guard in the National Defense
Authorization Act, and these provisions were fully funded in the Military Construction and Veterans
Affairs Appropriations bill.
Senator Ayotte has supported several initiatives to provide emergency funding to fight the Zika virus,
including this legislation which would provide $1.1 billion for Zika response. When added to funds
already reprogrammed by the Administration, funds for Zika response will total more than $1.6 billion.

Being a family-owned, three-generation business is important to us here at the

Dumont-Sullivan Funeral Home. This emphasis was set from its beginning in 1949 when
Leo A. Dumont, Sr. founded the funeral home with a code of
Trust, Respect, & Personal Care.

Our History
Leo, Sr. an alumnus of Nashua High School, served in World War II as a Staff
Sergeant in the Army Medical Corps from 1942-1945. Upon his return home,
he went to Boston, MA and attended New England Institute of Anatomy and
Mortuary Science (NEI) where he received his diploma in Funeral Directing
and Embalming. In 1949, at his residence on Ferry St., in Hudson, NH he
constructed a funeral home. The Leo A. Dumont Funeral Home proved to be a
personal success as well as a success to the community. In 1967, another
Leo A. Dumont Funeral Home was established on Kinsley St., in Nashua, NH.
It would remain there until 1978.
Many changes took place between 1972-1979. With confidence and support
from his wife Theresa, an addition was built to the Ferry St. location. The
Nashua location was sold and the Sullivan Brothers Funeral Home on Spring St. in Nashua was purchased. With this new
venture brought about needed help. Who better then Leo, Sr.'s son. Leo A. Dumont, Jr., a graduate of Alvirne High School and
1967 graduate of NEI, joined with his father in 1969. The two worked hand in hand for many years together.
The 1980s and 90s brought about even more changes to the
funeral homes. The construction of a new County Court House in
Nashua forced yet another move for the Nashua funeral home.
A new location of 370 Main St. was found. Renovations of a
former boarding house began and a new combined name for
both the Hudson and Nashua homes was erected. The DumontSullivan Funeral Home, now with one combined name, continues
to have two convenient locations to better serve the community.
As the new
millennium came,
High top tables to enjoy a cup of freshly brewed coffee.
Leo A. Dumont III
opted to join the family business. He is a 1993 graduate of Bishop Guertin High
School, a 1997 graduate of St. Joseph's College, and a 2000 graduate of NEI. With
the passing of Leo., Sr. in 2000 and the new perspectives of Leo III, a major
renovation and construction project took place at the Hudson facility. In 2003,
changes to the facility allowed for families to relax in the comfort of a lounge area
and we introduced the areas first children's room and DVD Tribute program. In
2007, an eager young apprentice named Kade Stewart was hired. Becoming a full
time licensed director in 2008, Kade has been a true asset in assisting local
families as well as an integral part of the daily operations at the funeral home.
Now, in 2016,
with Leo III as the
third generation
owner of the
funeral home, our newest renovation is complete. An 850
square foot coffee lounge, open to all families and their guests
during service times. Offering the highest quality Starbucks
Coffee, as well as nearly 100 premium cold beverages and
snacks including a variety of cookies, pastries, and muffins.
Our new lounge offers family and friends a place to enjoy a
refreshment and share memories of their loved one in a
comfortable, modern atmosphere.
Fresh cookies and pastries for guests to enjoy, nearly 100
cold premium beverages including iced frappuccinos,
seltzers, sodas and juices.
A casual seating area with a charging station for mobile devices.
With nearly 70 years of being a family-owned business, we have seen a lot of changes.
However, with all that has changed since 1949, one thing remains the same; the code of
Trust, Respect and Personal Care.

Litcheld Resident Makes Good in Hudson

by Sandy Russo
John White of Litchfield is the new owner of
Valentinos Restaurant on Lowell Road, Hudson.
Father of two boys, Tyler and Carter, he was born
and raised in Litchfield and now lives in the house
he grew up in. Graduating in 1999 from Alvirne
High School, he was a four-year varsity player and
captain of the football team for two years, played
basketball, ran track & field and sang with the
B-Naturals. While in high school he started as a
dishwasher at Bertuccis and was quickly trained
throughout the kitchen. He developed a passion
for cooking and enjoyed being in the restaurant
environment ,but the Army was in his future.
He is a military veteran who served in the
U.S. Army as a paratrooper with the 82nd
Airborne Division stationed in Fort Bragg, N.C.
After the service, he began working in Network
Infrastructure for Government Contracts, but knew
that was not what he wanted to do. He made a
choice and went back to the restaurant business.
Back to Bertuccis where he started as manager
and then at Ruby Tuesday as the general manager
for a few years. While at Bertuccis of Manchester,
he met his wife, Heather. After putting some time
into restaurant management, John and Heather
decided it was time to start thinking about a
restaurant of his own. When the opportunity
came along to take ownership of place already
established and in a town he once grew up in, the
decision for them was easy.
There will be no visual changes to Valentinos;
Johns main focus is food, service and atmosphere.

There are 39 employees who are working with
John for a better, friendlier place to have lunch,
dinner or cocktails. Working on small changes
to the menu, the favorite dishes will remain the
same. He will be improving on quality and
consistency of the food. The biggest change to
the restaurant is that he will be a hands-on owner
who will be there when you are. When you
come into Valentinos ask for John and introduce
yourself, he is a real people person.
There is Entertainment three nights a week at
Valentinos. Every Thursday night from 6 to 9 p.m.
in the dining room, is singer Bobby G. Anyone
who has heard him sing knows why he is there
every week. On Friday and Saturday nights there
are different local performers in the lounge. The
lounge seats approximately 60 people and is a
fun place to be on the weekends. John is also
currently working on having a comedy night once
a month in the function room.
In the dining area is a section they call the
alcove. It seats 20 people and is great for family
gatherings or small parties. Its private and very
comfortable. The main function room holds up
to 90 people and has had anything from birthday
parties to weddings and everything in between. It
has a separate menu and a full bar.
The outside seating holds 16 people on the
patio, a covered area that is shaded during the
day, so a great place for lunch.
Open every day, Monday through Sunday, at
11:30 a.m. for lunch, closing hours vary. The

only day Valentinos is closed is Christmas day.
Valentinos Restaurant of Hudson is not affiliated
with the Nashua Valentinos.
So if you have been unhappy in the past or
had a bad experience at Valentinos, come on
by and give them another try. Ask for John
White personally. He wants you to have a great

experience and to make Valentinos a great place
to come and eat with your family and friends.
Valentinos is located at 142 Lowell Road,
Hudson - 889-9900.

substantially by the polio, because he is

mentioned in the press as being in and out of the
hospital several times with broken limbs. In one
case, in 1951, he dragged himself a half mile for
help after breaking his leg in the woods.
Newells Aunt Maud died at the ripe old age
of 96 in 1959. Newell continued to live alone
in Litchfield until his death just two years later
of arteriosclerosis. His ashes were buried in the
family plot in Manchester. There were no calling
hours.
Although Newells life was tragic in so many
ways, I think we can all marvel at a person who
overcame adversity and physical handicaps and
made positive contributions to society.

Talk to
Newell Carney as a boy
A painting done by Newell Carney
It was the early spring of 1992. I accompanied

my son Brandons eighth grade class on a trip
to Washington, D.C. As is still the custom,
we attended a play there that was patronized
entirely by students on class trips. They always
announce the schools in the audience and the
towns from which they come. After the play,
I was approached by a fellow chaperone from
another town. He introduced himself as an art
teacher from a town up north. His name was
John Kendall and he told me he had grown up in
Litchfield. We chatted briey (small world type of
stuff) and exchanged phone numbers.
After getting back home, I did some research
on my new friend and found that he was an
accomplished artist who had traveled the world
and found out he had lived in the house next
door to where I currently live. I contacted Mr.
Kendall and asked if he would like to speak at
the Litchfield eighth grade graduation (I was on
the school board at the time). I was delighted
he agreed. I commissioned the best artist in the
eighth grade class, David Hudson, to draw a
picture of the house where John grew up. At the
graduation, John spoke of growing up in Litchfield
and attending the Litchfield School (now Griffin
Memorial) to the delight of the crowd and David
presented him with his drawing. John donated
several of his paintings to the school. They
continue to hang at LMS.
Through the years John and I kept somewhat in
touch. In one conversation I asked John how a kid
growing up in Litchfield had been as successful as
an artist. He said as long as he could remember
he liked to draw, but gave most of the credit to his
childhood mentor, Newell Carney, our hero in this

story.
Newell Carney was born in 1899, the first
son of John (Handsome Jack) Carney, who had
been a professional baseball player, and his wife,
Grace Baker Carney. Stricken with polio at an
early age, Newell was, in the word of the day,
crippled. Life was probably hard for Newell in
many ways. His father was a big strapping athletic
man and Newell could hardly keep up. After his
dad died at a fairly early age in 1925, Newell had
added responsibilities. After his mother died in
1944, Newell lived with a maiden aunt, Maud
(everybody called her Auntie Maud) Baker. They
lived right next door to the Kendall home where
John grew up across the street from Griffin School.
Newell served for many years as the janitor of
the school. The 1954 school district report shows
an expenditure of $700 for Newell B. Carney
for the year. By all accounts, Newell took the
young John Kendall under his wing. John tagged
along with Newell after school helping with the
janitorial duties. But there was more. Newell
liked to paint and was quite accomplished
particularly with pastels. The school did not have
an art teacher, so Newell was the de facto teacher
of art. Several Nashua Telegraph articles mention
the caretaker Newell Carney giving art classes.
Newell recognized the talent and enthusiasm in
his little neighbor and nurtured that talent the best
he could. John Kendall continued his studies at
the university and then made a name for himself
painting all over the world. John continues to this
day to give credit to his mentor, Newell.

Last Thursday, Robert G. Goody, Ph.D., associate professor of
the Department of Anthropology at Franklin Pierce University,
dispersed the mists of time surrounding the arrival of the first
people in New Hampshire. He explained to the Hudson Historical
Society at a presentation at Hills House, the ramifications of a
find in Keene that placed native Americans in that area of New
Hampshire more than 12,000 years ago.
Goody said that the Keene School District wanted to build a new
middle school on a property that abutted a wetland and needed a
wetland permit. According to state law, a study was needed to see
if there were any historical artifacts in the area before construction
could begin.
The focus of Goodys work is on Native American sites in New
England and in New Hampshire in particular, work that has
spanned the last 16 of his 32 years as an archeologist.
This site is far and away the best, the most exciting, most
important site that I have ever worked on. It gives an incredible
insight into the history of N.H. and the history of this part of North
America, he said.
When Goody asks his students when did the first human beings
arrive in the United States, the answer he gets is usually the
Pilgrims in 1620, but he notes, the Pilgrims were met and assisted
by Native Americans who were already here.
There is a long history and very evident history of Native
Americans living in this area even though some history books deny
that and say they only passed through the area, Goody explained.
Once Keene decided to construct a new middle school, Goody
was contacted to do an archeological study prior to the work.
SAU 29 owned land that had an elementary school on it and was
going to use the balance of the remaining land to build their new
middle school, and, when Goody did his initial inspection, he and
his team, found stone artifacts and he made his report to the school
district.
Because the school district was building a school next to a
wetland, it came under the jurisdiction of the Army Corps. of
Engineers which has jurisdiction over waterways including wetlands,
(so) it became a federal project and section 106 of the National
Historic Preservation Act came into play, Goody said.
Goody explained that, anytime you need a wetlands permit in

that he discovered in Keene.
the state of New Hampshire, its issued by the N.H. Department of
Environmental Services and is done on behalf of the Army Corps.
of Engineers and that makes it a federal undertaking and that is
why they had to do the study at the Keene Middle School prior to
construction.
Goody said that when he does these studies they usually take a
day or maybe a day and a half and nothing is found, but this study
was different.
One of the things I found was that the land was dead at, a
big sandy terrace left behind by a glacier, he said. It was almost
pristine with no houses, no real disturbance of the area at all. I
thought to myself this is the kind of area where we often find Indian
sites.
Goody explained that wetlands were a rich food source that
Native Americans hunted and fished.
Keep in mind that the school district had raised $110 million
to build a school that would serve the children of seven different
communities and they needed to open in September of 2010. I go
to them and tell them we may have found a Native American site
and we need to test it, Goody said.
A slide from Robert G. Goodys presentation detailing why he

did an archeological study in Keene that was needed prior to the
construction of a middle school.
This was in 2009.

Their question to me was pretty simple: How fast can you dig?
Goody went back and began his dig with an archeological team,
and, when all was said and done, found thousands of artifacts
consisting of stone scrapers, charred bone fragments and other
artifacts all carbon dated to between 12,570 and 12,660 years ago.
The artifacts are now housed in Concord and are available for any
historical research by appropriate entities.
The site was mitigated; that is the artifacts were sent to Concord
and the school was built on time. The only sad part is that out of the
four areas or houses that we found artifacts, there could have been
more that we missed and unfortunately that is lost because to build
the school, they dug down 12 feet and anything that was there is
gone, Goody said.
Even though archeologists deal with dig sites and physical objects
that are unearthed, it isnt really about those objects, he explained.
What we study are the things we find, but what we learn is about
people. Archeology is about people, Goody said.

First place went to Jacob Willett, while Seamus Delaney was

second, and Faith Wheery, who built a birdhouse from a milk
carton, received third.
In passing out the awards, Hudson Selectmen Chair Thaddeus
Luszey mentioned to many of the sustainability committee
members in the gallery that this was a great project and it was
never too early to get
the next generation
to become aware and
involved with recycling
and energy conservation.

Volkswagen to Pay NH for

Illegal Tampering; Must Fix
or Buy Back Vehicles
submitted by the Office
of the NH Attorney General
Attorney General Joseph A. Foster announces
that the state, as part of a multi-state effort, has
reached agreement with Volkswagen and its
related companies for consumer claims related
to tampering with emissions controls. This
settlement is related to a broader settlement with
EPA, the California Air Resources Board and
class action plaintiffs that requires Volkswagen
to fix impacted vehicles and provide funds for
environmental mitigation. In total, Volkswagen
will pay New Hampshire approximately $6.1
million to settle Consumer Protection Act
violations, up to $29 million in environmental
mitigation, and many millions to fix or buy back
impacted vehicles. Volkswagen will also pay an
amount to consumers for restitution.
The $6.1 million settlement for consumer
claims is the result of a large multi-state effort of
approximately 43 jurisdictions. In most cases,
states will receive approximately $1,000 for
every vehicle sold or leased in the state. New
Hampshire will also receive an additional
$340,000 because it actively participated in the
groups multi-state executive committee.
In addition, CARB, the U.S. EPA and the
class action plaintiffs reached settlements
with Volkswagen which, subject to the States
agreement, would direct up to $29 million to
New Hampshire for environmental mitigation.
Those settlements restrict the types of projects that
can receive funding to those related to reducing
emissions of nitrogen oxides. They also require
Volkswagen to fix or buyback impacted vehicles
and pay a premium of several thousand dollars to
each vehicle owner or lessee.
These settlements are the result of Volkswagens
efforts to cheat on its emissions testing by
tampering with the emissions control devices on
approximately 575,000 vehicles nationwide

over 5,000 of which were sold or leased in New
Hampshire. Volkswagen included software in
its vehicles that could sense when the vehicle
was experiencing normal, on-road conditions
rather than a government emissions test. When
on the road, the software turned off the normal
emissions controls resulting in better performance
but up to 35 times more emissions of substances
like NOx. The cheating occurred across multiple
vehicle models since 1996 including models from
Volkswagen, Audi and Porsche.
Nationwide, it is estimated that Volkswagen
will have to pay approximately $10 billion
for repairs and buybacks, $2.7 billion for
environmental mitigation, and $575 million for
violating consumer protection laws. Further,
Volkswagen has committed to investing $2 billion
over the next 10 years for the development of
non-polluting cars, or Zero Emission Vehicles,
and supporting infrastructure. Volkswagen will
also pay $20 million to establish a fund that state
attorneys general can utilize for future training and
initiatives, including investigations concerning
emissions violations, automobile compliance
and consumer protection. Volkswagen still faces
claims for environmental penalties from various
states, including New Hampshire, and the federal
government.
Attorney General Foster stated: The fraud
perpetrated by Volkswagen and its affiliated
companies is among the worst we have seen. The
deception spanned multiple companies, vehicle
models and emissions systems. It clearly shows a
corporate culture designed to mislead consumers
and regulators while disregarding health and
environmental concerns for the sake of profits.
These settlements will hopefully convince other
manufacturers to play by the rules.

Prevalent Leaf-Eating Bugs

Unsightly, but Pose
Little Threat to Trees
submitted by UNH Cooperative Extension
County foresters and forest health specialists
are reporting that three varieties of leaf-eating
caterpillars are now being seen in many parts of
the Granite State: eastern tent caterpillars, forest
tent caterpillars and gypsy moths. While these
bugs are responsible for defoliating trees and the
eastern tent caterpillars create unsightly webs, for
the most part, they are nothing to worry about.
The eastern tent caterpillar is common this
year and doing some damage to cherry and other
fruit trees, said Kyle Lombard, forest health
specialist at the New Hampshire Division of
Forests and Lands. It rarely kills the tree and its
not really a forest pest of consequence.
Dode Gladders, UNH Cooperative Extensions
Sullivan County forester, said he has seen more
eastern tent caterpillars this year than last year and
there are a few reports of forest tent caterpillars.

the feeding stops.

Forest tent caterpillars are the tent caterpillars
that dont make tent-like nests. They are active
now. They feed on hardwoods including oak and
sugar maple. Like their relative the eastern tent
caterpillar, they dont cause irreparable harm to
healthy trees.
Gypsy moths are also starting to feed. Because
this pest caused extreme defoliation in the 1980s
and 1990s, this caterpillar gets blamed for most
of the work of the other two. However, a fungus
introduced in the early part of the last century is
preventing gypsy moth numbers from exploding
and it is unlikely they will defoliate as extensively
as in the past.
Populations of insects rise and fall with natural
controls that keep them in check. Insect parasites,
predators, viruses, fungus, weather extremes and
even starvation when populations exceed the food
supply all help control them. There is little we
can do to prevent them from attacking, though
there are some effective treatments for specimen
trees. For more information on appropriate
treatments, call UNH Cooperative Extensions
Education Centers toll-free information line at
877-398-4769.
Other colleagues have reported

seeing both pests in the
southern counties, primarily
Rockingham, Hillsborough,
Merrimack and Sullivan
counties.
Forest health specialists
at the New Hampshire
Division of Forests and Lands
are receiving reports of
high numbers of forest tent
caterpillars and gypsy moths
but havent heard of any
defoliation by these pests.
Each of these pests has several
predators that help keep their
populations in check. We
fully expect rain in the next
few weeks to activate the wellestablished biocontrols and
no major defoliation should
occur, said Lombard.
Trees have adapted to
occasional defoliation and
other stresses, said Gladders.
No doubt, trees do better
without being stripped of their
leaves, but they are amazingly
resilient and healthy trees
recover as long as they arent
defoliated yearly.
Here are details on what to
look for, what to worry about
and what not to worry about.
Eastern tent caterpillars are
the most visible. They weave
webs, mostly in cherry trees,
stripping the tree bare. They
are more of a nuisance than
a threat to trees, rarely killing
healthy trees. They have nearly
completed feeding and will
soon pupate, emerging as
moths in July. Defoliated trees
will produce new leaves once

Great for the Beach not for the Lawn and Garden;
Comments on Energy and Brexit
by Joseph DAleo, Certified Consulting Meteorologist
The late spring and early summer has been pleasant with many
sunny, dry days and comfortable nights. This has been ideal for
beachgoers and hikers and campers.
The dry weather though has turned lawns brown and kept
gardeners busy trying to keep their plants watered.
We see some changes coming this week that will improve the
chances for rains and so the dryness may ease a bit. We could use
a few inches of rain although not all at once. Heavy downpours
tend to run off and not sink in.
Also, July temperatures and intense high angle sun evaporates
soil moisture. Plants incorporate water with nutrients and carbon
dioxide, which with sunshine produces growth in a process called
photosynthesis. Plants transpire water into the air from their leaves
to keep cool in a similar way our bodies do from our skin. A halfinch of rain can disappear within a few days, faster when it is sunny
and hot.
In summer when the weather pattern favors heat, the air warms
even more when it is dry. Forecasters know drought begets drought
and drought begets heat. We may feel the heat come mid to late
summer.
If we get a spell of heavy rains, like the Mid Atlantic received in
the last few weeks, the soil moisture will improve. However, the
air will be more humid and nights will not cool off as much. Either
way, the money we saved on air conditioning earlier, may be spent
later. Start thinking about the bigger electric bills.
Speaking of bigger bills, some state and regional politicians and
environmentalists are claiming victory after they killed the natural
gas pipeline needed for new natural gas powered generation. This
was sorely needed to replace coal, oil and nuclear generation that
is being retired in New England to maintain the reliability of the
electric grid. Thanks to the current and prior governor and other
blue governors in the region, we pay 53 percent higher prices for
electricity today than the rest of the nation.
When the other energy sources are retired and, if the party
pushing the end of fracking and fossil fuel assumes full control in
Weather Whys
and Climate Wise
2017, you can expect electricity and fuel oil prices to skyrocket.
Take the electric bill you get in August and the heating oil bills you
get each winter, and you can double them. That will be our future.
This is a hidden tax on the poor and middle class. You can expect
the party pushing this to blame the fossil fuel and power companies
and organize protests against big oil when it is our elected officials
and radical environmentalists that are to blame.
But arent gas pipelines dangerous? There are more than 210 gas
pipelines that cover more than 305,000 miles. Texas, Louisiana,
Oklahoma and Kansas have the most coverage. These are states
vulnerable to tornadoes and hurricanes. If there had been incidents,
you can be sure that you would have heard about them given how
the media loves to hype environmental issues. The two states with
the least natural gas pipelines, Vermont and New Hampshire, pay
the nations highest electric rates.
Which brings us to Brexit.
The British have been struggling under high-energy prices for
years, in part due to rules passed down from EU bureaucrats. Here
in the states, the regulations and executive orders that are not
discussed or voted on by our elected representatives are a small taste
of this. The Brexit vote signals that the U.K. will likely reject heavyhanded climate policies. Environmentalists opposed leaving the EU
for precisely this reason.
Britains Dr. Benny Peiser said It is highly unlikely that the partypolitical green consensus that has existed in Parliament for the last
10 years will survive the seismic changes that are now unfolding
after Britains Independence Day.

Dr. Judith Curry of Georgia Tech blogs that the politics of climate
change policies seems to have inuenced the voters in the UK.
There seems to be a substantial conuence of British climate
change skeptics and people that voted yes for Brexit. Climate
policies are one of the topics of concern regarding EU overreach.
It turns out that a large percentage of the British population are
skeptical of human caused climate change a sampling of
12,369 Brits voting in Thursdays referendum were surveyed. Sixtynine percent of those who voted to leave the EU saw the green
movement as a force for ill.
Lord Christopher Monckton, once the scientific advisor to Prime
Minister Thatcher, pushed hard for BREXIT. He and over half
the countrymen and women found that the so-called European
Parliament was no Parliament it was 28 faceless, unelected,
omnipotent Kommissars the official German name for the shadowy
Commissioners who exercise the supreme lawmaking power that
was once vested in their elected Parliaments. UK and most other
European nations have felt the pain of the green agenda with soaring
energy prices that forced over 25 percent of the households into
energy poverty.
Other countries will follow suit and hopefully the move to
globalism will end up in the trashbin of history along with many
other failed elitist ideas.
Please note that your vote counts more this time than maybe ever
before. Please study the issues and candidates. Our nations and
your familys economic future depends on it.

Dodgers Capture the HYB

Babe Ruth Championship
submitted by Christopher Varnum
It was the perfect weather for baseball on Saturday at Alvirne,
where the Dodgers defeated the Red Sox for the Hudson Youth
Baseball Babe Ruth Championship title. Although the final score
was 9-2, the game felt much closer than that. For the Dodgers, it
was a hard fought battle against a challenging opponent who had
bested them numerous times throughout the regular season. For
Sudoku
the Red Sox, they were riding the momentum of a victory just a
few nights before against the Nationals. Cole Masterson threw
six strong innings for the Dodgers, with Bobby Pace closing it out
in the seventh. With strong offense and nearly error-free defense,
the Dodgers were able to walk away with the win and the trophy.
Congratulations to the Dodgers on the win and to all teams for
another great season in the books.
