Encountering Quilts of Every Shape, Size and Design
Floral Breeze
by Len Lathrop
It was the 28th Annual Quilt Show sponsored by the Hannah
Dustin Quilters Guild. Expecting that Friday afternoon would
be a slower time at the event was wrong as a multitude of
people were on hand looking at the 117 quilts on display.
The co-chairwomen of this years show were Linda Simmons
and Karen Gilbert. Leading the way through the rows of quilts,
Gilbert pointed out some of the shows award winners and
spoke of the uniqueness of the many quilts.
The first stop was M-213, called Hillside Houses, where
Janice Kagenski used different pastel colors to cover her quilt in
various houses shaped with different colored roof lines. Gilbert
pointed out the unique stitching; the picture was enlarged so
you could see the stitching with the circles and waves. As you
can see, this quilt was recognized with three awards from this
show and was one of four entered by this artist.
Traveling to the back of the Community Center brought
visitors to a large quilt hanging against the wall; its number is

VFW Post 5791 Observes
Loyalty Day
Photos by David S. Morin
Loyalty Day Award recipients and members of the Hudson VFW Post 5791
by David S. Morin
The Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 5791 held its Annual Loyalty Day Award Program at the post hall
on May 5 to recognize those who show patriotism and heroism.
Loyalty Day is observed each year on May 1 in the United States. This day was set aside to reaffirm
loyalty to the country and for the recognition of the heritage of Americas freedom. The United States
Congress made the official holiday on July 18, 1958. The first official observance of Loyalty Day was
proclaimed on May 1, 1959, by President Dwight D. Eisenhower. Loyalty Day is not recognized as a
federal holiday, so many people across the country are unaware of it. The day is to honor those within
the community who help support United States veterans.
The evening began with the Alvirne High School
ROTC posting the colors. Program Coordinator Rob
Everett served as a master of ceremonies of the event.
Big Cows can be Scary
The awards program includes the towns of Hudson,
Litchfield and Londonderry. The VFW Hall was filled
with family, friends and community leaders there to
support this years recipients.

Chairman/tour guide Karen Gilbert pointed to this piece with
its two ribbons, noting the leaves were all different sizes and
shapes and of various materials coming together, appearing as
if they were tumbled on to the background, not placed. But, as
quilters know, each one had indeed been meticulously placed,
as was the background of varying shapes and hues.
It was a sweltering April 28, and, if you remember, the
question that day was what had happened to spring. The
temperature that afternoon had soared to somewhere around
80, so not stopping by a quilt that was adorned with spring
flowers and colors became impossible. This light blue- and
yellow-based quilt made by Joanne McClure, aptly named
Floral Breeze, was in the large quilt category labeled L-316.
L-321 had a patriotic theme with a large eagle in the middle
of the quilt and so, not surprisingly was called the Eagle. It
was one of seven quilts that artist Betty Goldstein had in the
show. The alternating border of different colored stars with the
same red square in the centers made it a very powerful piece. Hillside Houses

the state is considered abnormally dry (Hudson is
in this category) and 44.54 percent was normal.
Hopefully, the rain will continue to fall and we
will be back to normal soon. In the meantime,
your water conservation efforts are appreciated.
Pollinators
The much needed rain provides nitrogen to the
soil which is needed for plant growth. Another
important component for plants is pollination.
Pollination occurs when pollen is moved from
plant to plant by pollinating animals. We typically
think of bees doing the bulk of the pollination
but they are helped by the butterflies, birds, bats,
moths and beetles. The wind also helps with the
process.
Pollination is important. Without it many of
the foods we eat would not be available. Apples,
pumpkins, vanilla, coffee and potatoes are just
a few of the many plants that need the bees and
other pollinators flying from flower to flower
in order to produce fruit and seeds. Without
pollinators our food supply would decrease
significantly and would impact every one of us.
A few ways you can help protect pollinators
include:
Installing butterfly, bat and bee houses;
Planting milkweed and other flowering plants
Plant clover instead of grass seed.
Go to our Facebook page and let the committee
know what you are doing to help the bees and
the other pollinators. We would love to see your
pictures and hear your ideas.

The Word Around Town...

Mark McLean, Candidate for
State Representative, District 44
As a candidate in the May 23 special election for
State Representative in District 44, I would like to take
this opportunity to introduce myself to the people of
Litchfield.
Ive worked as an engineer in the manufacturing
sector for over two decades and I understand its role
in anchoring our economy. I know that a strong
manufacturing base provides our citizens with greater
opportunity and promotes diversity throughout
the entire economy. I never thought that I would
throw my hat into the political ring, but watching
our manufacturing and technology base slowly erode
ultimately led me to the decision to step up and get
involved.
As a representative in the 2014-2016 term I
supported a budget that reduced taxes on business, and
worked to hold the line on the expansion of excessive
regulations. Im excited to see Governor Sununus
commitment to reversing the regulatory tide, and Ill
work hard to help him in that mission in any way that
I can.
I see our high energy costs as the greatest barrier to
growth in the state, and this is a core issue for me. It
has evolved from a nuisance to a full-blown crisis. The
average commercial energy rate in New Hampshire
is over 14 cents per kWh. When contrasted with
Pennsylvanias rate of 9 cents and Arkansas rate of 7
cents, it is clear that folks operating in this state do so
at a sharp disadvantage.
A recent example of the impact of high energy prices
is Sig Sauers decision to open a new manufacturing
facility in Arkansas instead of expanding the existing
one in Newington. The Armys recent contract to
replace the M9 as its sidearm with Sigs P320 is an
endorsement of the quality that this New Hampshire
company has to offer. But while the military contract
will be fulfilled out of Newington, all of the spin off
business will be coming from Arkansas simply because
our energy rates are double those of that state.
Unlike tax or regulatory policy, there still doesnt
seem to be any unified movement on energy. Its a
tough nut to crack. We need to deal with players in
and out of government, special interests and even
our place within the ISO NE framework. The result
has been an energy approach that sort of resembles a
game of whack a mole. I think we need to step back
from this piecemeal approach and do the hard work
to identify a unified forward vision. It may even be
time to empower an energy task force similar to the
drug task force that was brought into being in the
fall of 2015. While we still face tragic setbacks in the
drug crisis, I truly feel that we have become unified as
a people in how to deal with the plague of addiction,
and Im confident that the drug situation is one that
we will ultimately conquer.
Letters to our Editor
Whatever mechanisms we chose to address the issues
that face us, the time to move is now, and I think that
having Governor Sununu at the helm will provide us
with a fresh opportunity to do just that.
Im grateful to have the endorsements of both
of Litchfields current reps, Frank Byron and Rich
Lascelles. If I am fortunate enough to be selected as
your representative, I promise to represent you with
integrity in all things, address your concerns with all
my ability, and to always remember that it is you I
represent.
Mark McLean, Manchester
Thanks to All from the Bottom
of his Heart
My name is Matt Keller and I am the father of
U.S. Army Specialist Joshua Keller. I am writing this
on behalf of Josh and my entire family to express our
thanks to our friends, family and the entire Hudson
community for the support we have received since
Feb. 11. I have a hard time expressing what this
support has meant to my family but I can say it is
what has gotten us through this roller coaster ride we
have been on. Weather the support has been a get
well card, a text, email, phone call, financial, food,
a hug, organizing a fundraiser, selling or buying
Joshua Strong t-shirts, going to a spaghetti dinner,
a motorcycle ride, taking care of our house, buying a
raffle ticket for a basket or most importantly praying.
Thank you! It is a miracle that Joshua is alive and for
that we are so grateful. Josh sustained life altering
injuries but with the continued support of our Hudson
family and our friends we can bask in his smile,
rejoice in the sound of his laughter, watch a Red Sox
game with him or just have a conversation. From the
bottom of my soul.
Matt Keller, Hudson

Trump: the Bot, Android
or Drone
I think like most or many of us as observers of
the behavior of this person, isnt he a reminder of a
bot (robot for those who dont know what a bot is)
or an android or a drone. His mannerisms, his way
of speaking, his absence of any humanity, his mean-
spirited attitudes and behaviors; its almost as if hes not
really human. But then that begs the question of who
has and is programming this thing (since many of us
agree its not a human being that we see, hear and read
about). Theres been many an opine or observation
that theres surely something startling uncomfortable in
our thinking about this thing thats being thrust into
our lives and our being of most of us. I dont know
the answer to Who is programming this thing that we
cant seem to even go to sleep without thinking, is it
even safe to go to sleep while hes been thrust into our
lives and minds. Oh, how we are suffering so badly
from this persistent [P]resence of [T]rump [S]tress [D]

Three Things
I have Noticed
about Online
Dating
Last week was a little insane for me. Due
to a series of unfortunate events I spent two
20-hour days at an airport. I love airports and
flying, but that was a little much. What do you
do in an airport for 20 hours? Well, I drink.
Drinking is highly expensive in airports. so now
Im broke. So much for trying to save money.
Girls of New England, I just want to point
out how guys are so much nicer in other
places than they are in Massachusetts and
New Hampshire. I dont know why the men
here are mean and think that they are all that,
but the men elsewhere are hotter and nicer. I
know Ive talked about free dating app profiles
before. Free dating apps are just such as large

ME
part of my generations life that I feel like its ok
to continue my analysis on them.
You know Ive noticed three things on these
free dating apps. First off, the only honest guys
are the ones who say they are just looking for
fun and come across as a jerk in their profiles.
They are jerks, they know it, they admit it, and
you are not going to change them. If you invest
your time in them thinking anything else is
going to come out of this relationship, youre
an idiot, and, when you get hurt, you have no
one else to blame but yourself.
The next thing I have noticed is the worst
kind of guy on free dating apps is the self-
proclaimed nice guy. In their profiles these
guys will tell you that they are nice, looking
for something real and generally have been
a victim in the past. I absolutely hate when
people say they want something real. Real
as opposed to what? Generally I have found
that guys who want something real want to
get way too emotionally involved way too fast.

conquest, a conquering culture that placed little
value on the Indian experience and a strategy of
self-preservation that required many Abenaki to
go underground, concealing their true identities
for generations to avoid discrimination and
persecution. Robert Goodby reveals archeological
evidence that shows their deep presence here,
inches below the earths surface. Goodby is an
associate professor of Anthropology at Franklin
Pierce University. He holds a PhD in anthropology
from Brown University and has spent the last 30
years studying Native American archaeological
sites in New England. Free; donations appreciated.

Seeding and Fertilizing Schedule
Restoring lawns and gardens
back to their pre-winter glory is
high on many a homeowners
landscaping to-do list. In much
of the country, the best times to
tackle lawn projects are when
temperatures are moderate, like
in spring and fall. These seasons
also mark the best time to seed
and fertilize.
Planting and fertilizing new
grass seed should be done when
frost is no longer a concern and
before frost arrives if you are
planting in autumn. According
to Roger Cook, a landscape
contractor and contributor to
This Old House magazine,
sowing lawn seed should be
done when the soil is warm,
the daytime temperatures are
moderate and you can keep
the new seeds quite moist at all
times.
While grass seed can be
applied in the summer, it is
more challenging to get the
seeds to take root and thrive at
this time, as water is more likely
to evaporate under the hot sun.
Also, many weeds germinate in
the heat of summer. As a result,
the weeds can infiltrate areas
of the lawn where you planted,
compromising the look of your
lawn.
The process of reseeding and
fertilizing your lawn is relatively similar if you decide to do so
in late spring or early fall.

HOME IMPROVEMENT Learn How to Prevent DIY Injuries

2017

Thousands of people try their hands at do-it-yourself home
improvement projects every year. Whether working indoors or outdoors,
wearing safety gear and exercising caution is a necessity when
undertaking any home remodeling project.
According to the Home Safety Council, one in five consumers will
need medical attention this year as a result of home improvement
projects. A 2013 survey by 3M TEKK Protection and the National Safety
Council found that more than one-quarter of DIY home improvement
projects ended with injuries to homeowners or someone else in the
household. Falls from ladders, cuts from power tools and injuries from
thrown debris account for many emergency room visits. Accidents
involving chemicals and cleaning agents also can occur. Safety should be
the utmost priority when renovating, and that means utilizing appropriate
safety equipment.
Footwear
Wear solid shoes that provide considerable traction during home
improvements. A firm, reinforced toe is helpful as well. Should any
items fall, theyll be less likely to cause injury if your foot is encased in a
protective boot or sturdy shoe. Soles that grip surfaces will help safeguard
against slips and falls.
Eye protection
Safety goggles and glasses are a must-have for any do-it-yourselfer.
They will provide a barrier between the eye and flying debris. According
to VisionWeb, an eye education resource, most of the 110,000 eye
injuries that occur each year in homes within the United States result
from splashes with household cleaners, flying debris such as wood
chips, or getting hit by branches. Many of these injuries can be
prevented by wearing eye protection.
Ear protection
Power tools can be quite loud. When operating loud, powered
machinery, use earplugs or safety earmuffs to reduce the risk of damage to
hearing and potential hearing loss.
Ventilation and respiratory protection
When working with chemicals and other products that have strong
odors and/or emit particulates into the air, make sure you do so in well-
ventilated areas. This will help dissipate the smell and prevent inhalation
of concentrated chemical substances. Masks guard against dust, pollen and
some other microscopic particles and may not provide enough protection,
depending on the job. The Home Depot suggests using particulate or
filtration respirators when performing tasks, such as sanding, where you
might be exposed to particles. Gas and vapor respirators offer protection
against additional substances.
Create a safe environment
When working at home, make sure to use tools in the manner in
which they were designed. Keep power cords tidy so they do not pose a
tripping hazard. Falls from ladders often occur when climbing above the
recommended rung or engaging in risky behavior while on the ladder, such
as reaching or hanging over too far.
When outdoors, exercise caution in inclement weather, which can make
it harder to work safely. Be sure there are no bystanders too close when
using power tools or tools that can kick up debris.
The right safety gear and some smart do-it-yourself techniques can help

More Energy Efficient Renovators Trade

Drafty windows

comfortable by
allowing cold
air in during
the winter and
warm air in when
temperatures rise.
But comfort is not
the only concern
associated with
leaky windows, as
such fixtures also
can have a negative
impact on the
environment.
Leaky windows
require heating and cooling systems to work
harder to keep home interiors comfortable
during times of the year when temperatures
can be extreme. In the dead of winter, a leaky
window will force a homes inhabitants to turn
up the thermostat, which only increases energy
consumption and energy bills. The same scenario
plays out in summer, when leaky windows allow
hot air in, leading homeowners to lower the
temperature of air conditioning units so everyone
inside is cool and comfortable.
Thankfully, making windows more energy
efficient does not necessarily require homeowners
to replace existing windows. Before going that
potentially expensive route, homeowners can
consider the following strategies to improve the
energy efficiency of their windows.
Hang curtains. Curtains can help
homeowners cut down on heating and cooling
costs. According to the U.S. Department of
Energy, properly hung draperies can reduce heat
loss by as much as 25 percent. In the summer,
curtains can block the hot rays from the sun from
entering a home, reducing the need to turn up air
conditioning units. While curtains wont fix leaks
or block hot or cold air from entering a home,
they can serve as a buffer between a homes
inhabitants and the air seeping in through leaks.
Caulk or add weatherstripping. Small cracks
and gaps around windows, which are most
often found around
windows in older
buildings, might
not seem like a
big deal, but such
breaches can lead
to considerable
energy loss. The DOE
recommends using
caulk to seal cracks
that are less than
14-inch wide on the
parts of the window
that do not move (i.e.,
frames and where
the trim meets the
wall). Caulk might be
less effective at fixing leaks larger than 14 inch in
width. Employ weatherstripping to address leaks
on movable parts of the window. Properly applied
weatherstripping should adequately seal windows
when they are closed without making it difficult
to open or close them later on. Weatherstripping
is available in various materials, and homeowners
can visit www.energy.gov/energysaver/
weatherstripping to find the material thats most
suitable for their situation.
Install windows films. Plastic window films
are another option for homeowners looking to
improve the energy efficiency of their windows.
Heat shrink film can be cut to fit each individual
leaky window in a home and then attached
to windows using double-sided tape. A hair
dryer can then be used to shrink the film and
remove any wrinkles. Low-emissivity, or Low-E,
coatings are a more expensive alternative to heat
shrink film, and they can be equally effective
at improving energy efficiency. Installation of
Low-E coatings can be more difficult, as they do
not provide as much leeway for mistakes during
application as heat shrink film.
Leaky windows are bad for homeowners
energy bills and the environment. But
homeowners have options other than full window
replacements to fix leaks and improve efficiency.

HOME IMPROVEMENT Factors to Consider
2017

to Granite Countertops When Choosing Carpeting

Granite has long been a popular
countertop material for homeowners
looking to combine functionality with
aesthetic appeal in their kitchens.
But granite is no small investment,
and homeowners looking to refurbish
their kitchens should know there are a
multitude of countertop materials available
to those working on a budget or those
who simply want to give their kitchens a
different look.
Solid wood: Wood countertops create
a warm, homey interior. Butcher block
counters are less expensive than granite
and do not necessarily need to be ordered
from a speciality retailer. But wood can
stain and dent and can even burn when
hot kitchenware is placed atop it. Regular
application of oil can help homeowners
maintain the appearance of their wood
counters for years to come.
Marble: Marble tends to be less
expensive than granite without sacrificing
aesthetic appeal. However, marble is softer
and more porous than granite, so it can
stain and be etched. Diligence in wiping
away spills, routine sealing and a gentle
touch is necessary for those who choose
marble countertops.
Soapstone: This is a natural stone
composed mainly of mineral talc that gives
When the time comes to choose flooring for their
homes, homeowners may be overwhelmed by the vast
array of options at their disposal. The choice between
carpet and hardwood flooring, laminate or tile is a matter
of personal preference. People have long extolled the
virtues of hardwood flooring, but carpeting can be just as
stylish and provides a host of other benefits as well.

material, homeowners who want Hiring a landscape architect may be a smart move
something new have many additional for homeowners who are planning major overhauls of
options at their disposal. their properties. The Operational Outlook Handbook
defines a landscape architect as a person who designs
parks, outdoor spaces of campuses,
recreational facilities, private homes, and
other open areas. Landscape architects
typically must be licensed and many hold
degrees in landscape architecture from
accredited schools. Architects who work
on residential spaces often work with
tracks and dirt, but theyre higher on the comfort
spectrum than other types of carpet. Berber, which is
more flat and dense, helps mask stains and tracks. It is
durable in high-traffic areas. Textured carpets like frieze
are cut from fibers of different heights, so they mask
stains and are also softer on the feet than berber.
Padding
Padding can impact the way carpeting feels and how
long it lasts. It isnt always
necessary to purchase the
most expensive or thickest
padding. However, it is wise
to pick a pad that matches
the type of carpeting youre
selecting and one that aligns
with how you plan to use
the room. You may be able
to go with a thinner pad
in low-traffic rooms and
beneath dense carpeting like
berber. In high-traffic rooms,
choose a thicker, more
durable padding. Padding
prevents carpet backing and
fibers from coming apart
over time. It pays to invest in a padding that will last as
well.
Installation
Select a reliable carpet retailer and installer for your
business. Competent installers will lay the carpeting
in the correct manner so that it will look beautiful and
maintain its durability for the life of the product. Shop
around to find the right installer or even do the work
yourself if you feel capable.
Take time when shopping for carpeting, which is a
substantial investment that can last for many years if the
right material is chosen and installed correctly.

management, and pools. Landscape architects design
spaces to do more than merely look good. Designs
also are about functionality and meeting the needs of
the homeowner. Outdoor spaces are designed after
considering what the homeowner wants to experience
and how homeowners want to use a given space.
Landscape architects often do not plant and maintain
these spaces. Rather, architects collaborate with other
landscaping professionals to produce the final results.
