Retired and active members from the Navy,
Coastguard, National Guard, Army, police and
re departments, and even a World War II Civil
Service employee gathered for breakfast on the
morning of August 30 at The Inn at Fairview. The
breakfast was held in honor of those who serve
this country, both foreign and domestic, as a way
of saying thank you for all their work. It was
the rst of future heroes breakfasts as Fairview
plans to make it an annual event.

10th Anniversar 10th Anniversaryy 10th Anniversar 10th Anniversar 10th Anniversar 10th Anniversary
by Marc Ayotte
It is a truly amazing,
inspiring and motivating
story that started with a
simple personal request
being answered. And just
10 years later, the service
organization known as
MooreMart continues to
receive national recognition
for its patriotism and support
of thousands of United
States Armed Forces serving
throughout the Middle East.
Paul Moore and his sister
Carole Biggio are co-founders
of MooreMart. It is Moores
military history that has
played an ongoing and telling
role in his involvement with
this wonderful endeavor. A
1975 graduate of Alvirne High
School, Moore nished Airborne School in
1978, completed Ranger School and was
commissioned in 1980 and while in the
Army served in Korea in 1981.
But Moores military service came to a
tragic and abrupt end that year when he was
involved in a parachuting accident which
resulted in him being in a body cast for nine
months as well as undergoing therapy for
18 months. Over 20 years later, Moores
ill-fated jump would in part serve as the
impetus for starting the now nationally
renowned liaison between deployed U.S.
soldiers and caring loved ones at home.
In early 2004, Paul Moore received a
request from his brother, Brian, who had
been deployed to Afghanistan
as part of the New Hampshire
National Guard. In the rst of
his eventual three tours in the
Middle East, Brian requested
his rst care package. A
subsequent request by Brian
involved sending a care
package to a fellow soldier
in his unit. That turned
into three or four packages
per shipment. And as Paul
Moore recalls; it turned into
20, then 40 as word spread
to adjacent units. Soon
he was sending out 100
packages per month and the
concept of troop support
via care packages sent from
home, would prove to be
monumental.
On August 16, when the
next shipment is making its way to the
troops, the inception-to-date total count
will have reached a staggering 65,000 care
packages. Additionally, MooreMart will
exceed 8.5 tons of relief supplies shipped,
as part of the humanitarian aid effort to help
clinics, orphanages, scout troops, schools
and other civic organizations in the Middle
East.
The moniker of MooreMart came about
early on as a result of an e-mail Paul Moore
received. He recalls the e-mail starting out
with: Dear MooreMart, and the reason for
that, according to Moore, was because the
writer intimated that we believe you have
more supplies than Wal*Mart! We used
Two New Support Programs
Approved by Hudson School Board
by Len Lathrop
During its August 4 meeting the board
approved two staff programs that were presented
to them by Superintendent Bryan Lane. Both
were presented, discussed and passed by the
board on a vote of 4-0. Chairman Laurie Bissen
was not in attendance.
A tech support program came from the
technology subcommittee whose goal is to
increase the amount of technology support
available in each building within the district. It
would create technical support assistant (TSA)
stipend positions in each building for the initial
screening of requests for simple problems. Staff
would apply for these positions to provide
assistance to fellow staff for simple computer
issues that could range from jammed printers to
disconnected wires. School district computer
network technicians estimate that more than 50
percent of their requests for assistance are of this
nature. The TSA would be a staff member who
is comfortable in solving these basic problems.
There would be one TSA for every 30 staff
members in a building. Each elementary campus
would have one, the middle school would have
two, and at the high school there would be three.
The proposal is based on a time commitment
of three hours per week and the stipend would
be $2,300 per person. Eight TSAs would require
funding of $20,000, which includes NH
MooreMart to Celebrate
10th Anniversary
Robinson Road Fire Station
Now Staffed 24/7
by Len Lathrop
Known in the re department as Station One,
located on Robinson Road almost in sight of the
pond, now has a crew of three reghters/EMTs
around the clock. The long-awaited opening
occurred on this past Sunday.
With the stafng of Station One the town now
has nine reghter/EMTs on duty at all times,
with three staff members at each station. The
staff scheduling continues to be based on four
groups of reghters/EMTs who work 24-hour
shifts. Every station has an ambulance and there
are paramedics in every manpower group.
All Hudson reghter/EMTs are cross apparatus
trained, and apparatus alarm assignments have
been adjusted under the direction of Chief Rob
Buxton to minimize response time and to have
the equipment and manpower on all emergency
scenes, to handle all situations.
As your HLN goes to press Wednesday night,
only three days have passed with Hudson
having three stations staffed 24/7. No data is yet
available on new response times to north Hudson
homes and will be shared with readers as soon
as it is.
Sylvie Cotnoir, director of Laurel Place at Fairview Healthcare, extends a special thank you
to Marjorie Trainor who served as a nurse in the U.S. Army.
First duty crew at Robinson Road Station.
As co-founder of MooreMart 10
years ago, Paul Moore continues to
play an active and vital role in the
service organization that provides
care packages for U.S. troops
stationed in the Middle East.

Responding to a Tumbs comment in last weeks Hudson~Litchfeld News,
School Board member Patty Langlais stated if she is accused of running the
school district I guess I can wear the crown.
Many interesting statements are made by town ofcials during
meetings and other gatherings. While most dont warrant enough
for a full story for our readers, some are great ideas, forward thinking
and others make you say what? Or just shake your head. Our
newspaper staff members when out and about are often asked
questions, as if we should know more than the average citizen.
Sometimes we do, but many times we have to make phone calls to
nd out.
Take a moment to ponder these thought-provoking happenings
around Hudson and Litcheld:
Altering Trafc Patterns
Hudson Selectmen learned that change is hard. After a
recommendation from the Highway Safety Committee and two
public hearings and hours of discussion, the trafc pattern in the
Sagamore Industrial Park has been changed. Just as they were
ready to vote on the town ordinance, a business owner in the
industrial park appeared before them stating that they have turned
Wentworth Avenue into a race track with the removal of stop signs
at both of the three-way intersections. Selectmen hope to keep
trafc from the park off Lowell Road especially with the arrival of
the Comcast Call Center. They hope that by making it easier to
come out of the park on Flagstone Drive and turn right onto the
bridge, it would keep trafc off of Lowell Road at Executive and
Hampshire intersections. Only time will tell.
Engineering Change
E-mail released from the Hudson Engineering Department
indicated that Laurie Stevens is no longer the Hudson town
engineer. Stevens had only been with the town for about ve
months. The e-mail advised that those with engineering matters
address them to Gary Webster.
A Deadly Concern
A Litcheld reader called a member of the news team asking if
it would take a fatality for the state and the town to install a light
at the Page and Derry Road intersection. There was another severe
accident earlier in the day.
School District Money Matters
During Monday nights meeting, the Hudson School Board
approved by a 4-0 vote $39,697.99 for Ex/Co-curricular
nominations for the upcoming school year.
A nal question for the Hudson School - what is the difference
between a department head and a mentor?

Lynda Bennett Proclaims her
Candidacy for Treasurer
of Hillsborough County
Ralph Boehm Declares
Candidacy for Litchfeld
State Representative
I am Ralph Boehm, candidate for State
Representative for Litcheld. I am asking
for your vote to re-elect me to continue
what I have always done. That is to
represent the people of Litcheld, all the
people not some group, but all. I do not
accept donations from any individual,
corporation, or unions. I am a retired
software engineer, and as always will be
your full time representative. I have lived
in Litcheld for 38 years. For 22 years,
from 1988 to 2010 I was a Selectman,
Budget Committee member, and on the
School Board . I have been a state rep in 2005-2006, and 2009 to
present. In the past I was on the Home Education Advisory Council
and presently on New England Board of Higher Education (NEBHE).
During the 2013-2014 academic year, 15 Litcheld students saved an
estimated total of $78,116 on their out-of-state tuition bills because of
NEBHEs programs.
As reported by the Nashua Telegraph some months ago, I had
100 percent attendance for the past two years. And to repeat what
someone had said in the Hudson~Litcheld News, one cannot
represent you if they dont show up. Not only do I have 100 percent
attendance for house sessions, I have also not missed any committee
meetings.
I am currently the ranking Republican on the House Education
Committee and previously the vice-chair, and over the past years we
have passed a number of education bills to help x the education
mess we have now. We increased tenure from three years to ve, so
your school board can make sure we hire good teachers. I worked on
a bill that decreased the mandates for home schooled students. We
also passed a scholarship law that will make private school accessible
to all and not just the rich. But more needs to be done to put local
control back in education.
In the past two years I have received:
99 percent and 100 percent from the House Republican Alliance
Highest among all Reps currently running.
I am also on the New Hampshire Liberty Alliances ve year
Honor Roll. And received an A- the past two years.
A+ in the past two years from Americans for Prosperity.
A+ from the NH Families for Education.
As you can see from these ratings, I am pro U.S. and NH
constitutions, pro-business and against any increase in taxes. My
goals are to continue to protect your freedom of speech, religion, your
right to bear arms, and all other rights, including the 9th and 10th
amendments which the federal government is abusing.
Challenges for this term is to turn around the states economy. We
need to lower the corporation taxes, we are the 48th highest in the
country, and the highest in the region. Young people are leaving the
state because of jobs, we need to keep our brightest in the state, and
we cant do this if businesses leave the state. We need to cut our
spending, but we need a good conservative governor to force the state
commissioners to slim their departments.
So please vote for Ralph Boehm on September 9th and allow me to
continue to represent all the people of Litcheld. If you want to help
my campaign by allowing a sign in your yard, holding signs at the
polls, etc., contact me at: rgboehm@comcast.net. Remember, I do
not want your money, just your help and vote.
Lynda Bennett announced on August 1 her
candidacy for county treasurer of Hillsborough
County which includes 29 towns and two cities.
If I am elected, I will be a strong advocate
to return each scal year budget surpluses to
our taxpayers and scale back our bonding for
county projects which, in turn, will save dollars
for our citizens, stated Hillsborough County
Treasurer Candidate Lynda Bennett.
Lynda is a native of New Hampshire,
attended local schools and graduated from
the University of New Hampshire and New
England Deaconess Hospital School of Nursing.
She is a CMC Parish Nurse Volunteer, active in
her church, and an avid sports fan. A former
regional administrator of Home Health Care,
Lynda has two sons, Jeffrey and Gregory.
Some Comments on Weather Whys
Following are some comments on HLNs Weather Whys of last week.
So far, the planet has only gained a degree F. from manmade CO2 in the
atmosphere. So of course, all the bad things have not happened yet. Te
question is, what happens in a hundred years, when CO2 has doubled?
With a constant Sun, and the present CO2 emissions trend, predictions
center around a further increase of 6 degrees F.
We cant be completely certain of CO2s precise efects, but should we
buy some insurance and cut its emission when the net cost is reasonable?
Reducing the burning of coal saves lives. Wikipedia says: A study
commissioned by the Maryland nurses association in 2006 found that
emissions from just six of Marylands coal-burning plants caused 700 deaths
per year... Tat is over 100 people dying, per year, for each coal fred plant.
As the article says, cuts in fossil fuel use are fnancially painful in the short
term, and people dont want pipelines in their own backyard. Weather
Whys claims nor is anyone going to be allowed to build them.
To the contrary, four small pipelines are under construction now.
Tey are listed at http://www.northeastgas.org/pdf/system_enhance0714.
pdf. A dozen specifc proposals are listed at http://www.northeastgas.org/
pipeline_expansion.php. I predict: Follow the money, we will get
more pipelines.
Te article speaks of warming in the tropics: where the models
projected the steepest rise. Tat is not what the models predict.
Te models predict more surface warming at the higher latitudes
and less at the tropics, which has, in fact, happened. See http://
stephenschneider.stanford.edu/Climate/Climate_Science/Science.
html#Itislikelythathumanactivitieshavecausedadiscernibleimpactonobserved.
Te models predict that in the tropics, troposphere warming should be
more than the warming of the surface there. Te graph shows the actual
troposphere warming. It is less than expected so the data are under review.
It is complicated. Sun was perhaps brighter in the 20th century than
for hundreds of years. It has been less bright last 50 years, but the Earth
continued warming. So to determine the amount of warming caused by
CO2 we use science, and that means equations and models.
And to project to the future, we must use models, since we obviously have
no data for the future. And local or short time data dont matter. We need
a longer time frame, and global data. Tat is my proposal for the context of
the quote spoken by Chris Folland. Te quote is from 1992. Te data for
global warming were clear even then.
Paul Watson was half quoted in Weather Whys, to infer that Watson
is in favor of lying: It doesnt matter what is true; it only matters what
people believe is true ... But in the rest of the quote, that was not

... To know Watsons meaning you need more of the quote. Te quote
is from http://www.aim.org/wls/author/paul-watson/, with their source:
Environmental Overkill, by Dixy Lee Ray with Lou Guzzo, 1993, page 172.
Spreading the truth is an uphill battle. Unfortunately, sometimes it
doesnt matter what is true. It only matters what people believe is true.
You can quote me on that. But use the whole quote, please.

Alex Tucci Completes Intense Army ROTC Training
by Laurie Jasper
Now that it is August, members of
Alvirne High Schools Class of 2014 will
soon be transitioning into college or the
working world for the rst time. For 2014
AHS graduate Alex Tucci, his transition has
already begun.
Alex is enrolled in Wentworth Military
Colleges accelerated Army ROTC program
in Lexington, Missouri and recently returned
from a 29-day Leaders Training Course
at Fort Knox, Ky. This intense course is
designed to combine the rst two years
of Army ROTC into four weeks. Alex
learned skills such as land navigation,
marksmanship, leadership and team
building, as well as extensive physical
training.
Upon completion of this two-year
program, Alex will be commissioned as a
2nd lieutenant in either the Army Reserve
or Army National Guard, and will then
complete his bachelors degree at a college
he chooses. He plans to take part in the
Army CULP program, spending three
weeks in a foreign country, training with
its military and teaching English to military
cadets. Alex certainly has the intelligence,
energy and motivation to succeed, as those
who know him can attest.
Alex received the Early Commissioning
Program scholarship that covers tuition,
room and board and other expenses, and
also pays a monthly stipend. Alex was
vice president of the Alvirne Class of 2014.
He is the eldest of three sons of John and
Bridget Tucci.

Nashua Man Charged in
Harassment of Hudson
Police Department
submitted by Hudson Police Department
On Monday, August 4, Hudson Police arrested Paul Dinucci, 53, of
Nashua, on a Hudson Police Department arrest warrant. The arrest warrant
was issued charging Dinucci with two counts of Harassment (Class B
misdemeanors) and one count of Breach of Bail (Class A misdemeanor).
The harassment charges stem from an investigation where Dinucci, with
no legitimate purpose, either contacted the Hudson Police Department or
appeared at the police station multiple times between July 16-29, and again
between August 3-4.
On November 9, 2013, Dinucci was charged with three counts of
Harassment when he, with no legitimate purpose, contacted the Hudson
Police Department multiple times between November 6-8, 2013. At the
time of that arrest Dinucci was rereleased on bail. Subsequently, Dinucci
violated the conditions of his bail and was arrested for Breach of Bail on
January 13 and again on August 4.

the name originally as a
good-natured joke, recalled
Moore, adding, next thing
you know, people all over the
country are sending e-mails
to MooreMart requesting
supplies.
In the formative months
of the service, expenses
associated with sending the
care packages were paid
by Moore, along with his
family and friends. In the
fall of 2004, Moore began
to obtain nancial support
from veterans organizations
and the like and from that
point forth as he recalled; it
just exploded. Because of
the increase in volume, shipments went from monthly to every six
weeks. When it (packages) hit four to ve hundred, we went to
every ten weeks, said Moore. In the last three years, MooreMart
has been averaging 1,000 to 1,200 packages every shipment.
The service also incorporates seasonal themes into their support
of the troops. Christmas stockings are a big hit; a record 4,678
stockings were sent in 2010 with an average of 3,000 per year
having been shipped since then.
Originally, all items destined for care packages were stored in
Moores Nashua-based attorneys ofce. As the requests increased,
the size of the storage facilities needed to house the items changed
accordingly. Currently, the donated and purchased items are stored
locally in Hudson and when shipment time comes around every
13 weeks, the items are transported to the Nashua National Guard
Armory where the three day packing and shipping process takes
place.
Thursday is set aside for set-up and inventory. Friday is pre-
packing day, with Saturday being the big day when the items are
packed and shipped. Right now its a well-oiled machine, said
Moore of the network of volunteers involved in the shipment of the
packages. With a core group of 10 volunteers, he says that each
packing event day also reects about 30 different volunteers helping
out, resulting in about 100 different people showing up to help get
the packages on their way. Everyone is there because they have a
sincere desire to support our troops, expressed Moore.
One of the afore-mentioned core volunteers is Ted Luszey. Moore
has known Luszey for 25 years and says that Luszey offered his
services back in the beginning and has since become a vital part
of the operation. According to Moore, Ted is the backbone of the
organization. Without his managerial skills and hard work, only a
fraction of the packages would be going out the door. Moore also
commends Luszeys wife, Deborah and their daughter, Ashley, for
their spirited commitment to the MooreMart cause.
Each rst care package sent to a soldier is identical to the next
one. However, inside that initial package, as explained by Moore, is
an index card on which soldiers are able to submit personal requests
for the ensuing
shipment. And as is
the case with all the
items contained in
the care packages,
there is no cost to the
recipient or the family
member or friend
making the request on
behalf of the soldier.
We are one of the
few non-prot care
package organizations
serving on donations
from the community,
expressed Moore,
adding; everyone is
a volunteer; no one
gets paid.
One of the aspects that Moore pays close attention to is the
quality of the items sent to the troops. Were very careful about
rotating stock, cited Moore who also noted that all items that are
purchased and/or donated, are brand names. If someone requests
Oreos, they get Oreos, he said with a proud grin. Also, he notes
that special arrangements have been made with area suppliers and
manufacturers in an attempt to provide the freshest items possible
to the troops. We have on-demand buying, said Moore, adding
relatedly that it takes just seven days for the package to reach its
destination. Think about that, urged Moore, half way around
the world into a battle zone I think its pretty impressive.
Moore also indicated that care packages are built to suit
specic soldier needs in the different geographic regions. For
instance, troops in the mountainous terrain of Afghanistan would
receive hand warmers to deal with the colder weather, while
those stationed in the desert would receive sunscreen. In addition
to the necessary, regionally-specic items, Moore lightheartedly
indicated that over 8,000 T-shirts bearing the phrase MooreMart
Regional Rep have been shipped to troops in the Middle East, not
to mention 9,200 cases of Girl Scout cookies.
Through the years, MooreMart has received recognition from
the White House, the U.S. Senate and the Department of Defense,
to go along with citations from the state of New Hampshire. In
addition, for their service to the National Guard, Moore has
received accolades from all of the major veterans organizations.
Perhaps the most meaningful of all, was the recognition received
from the Congressional Medal of Honor Society; presented to
MooreMart for its support of the troops.
In remembering his stint in the army, Moore recalls that back
then, it took forever and a day to get a care package. While
addressing the importance to him of receiving a package from
back in the states, he explained; it was important for me to know
I had friends and family at home thinking about me. He believes
that feeling is prevalent with todays soldiers as well. Thats part of
the motivation, he explained with respect to why he is still a driving
force in the MooreMart endeavor. I was very lucky to survive and
there were a lot of people in the military that helped me and Id just
like to pay that forward, revealed Moore.
Today, as a Merrimack Circuit Court Justice, Moore continues to
be active in the day-to-day intricacies associated with supplying
care packages to the troops. With regard to how he thinks the
deployed soldiers psyche is affected by the continued receipt of
care packages, Moore shared his thoughts, I truly believe the
average service man, and woman appreciates the fact that his or
her community is supporting their deployment. He continued by
saying; by sending care packages, they recognize the community is
recognizing the sacrices that the soldier and his family are making.
Its a constant reminder they are not forgotten and that we appreciate
their sacrice, as a country as a whole.
As both active and retired service members ate, they reminisced
about their days of service. A total of 15 people attended the
breakfast. The notable service members included Fairview resident
Bob Winter, who shared stories about being a guard at a Japanese
prison in 1947 during World War II.
Resident Edith Perkins also had a very heroic past herself.
Perkins may have not served as an enlisted member of the war, but
was considered a hero by the Fairview community just the same.
Perkins worked at Atlantic Parachute Corp repairing and inspecting
parachutes for American troops serving overseas in World War II.
Those of us who havent served were sure to say a heartfelt
thank you for giving us the freedoms we enjoy today, said Rosie
Samson, director of Community Relations at the Inn at Fairview,
concerning the veterans.
The meal, provided by Fairview, included stuffed breakfast
burritos, homemade red bliss potato home fries, homemade
blueberry mufns, banana bread, sausage links and fresh fruit
salad.
The Inn at Fairview/Fairview Healthcare appreciates the
sacrices that have been made in the past as well as the service
that is provided today, Samson added.
The Inn at Fairview was added two months ago to give the facility
expanded rehabilitation and specialized focus on memory care.
Fairview will continue to serve the community with fundraisers and
events throughout the year. One of the next major events will be
a car wash fundraiser on Saturday, Sept. 15 from 9 am to 1 pm to
raise money to research a cure for Alzheimers disease.

On Sunday, June 22, friends and
family joined Troop 20s Connor
Hamilton at Hudson Fish and Game
Club to celebrate his rise to the rank
of Eagle Scout, an honor bestowed
on less than two percent of boys
who join Scouting. While the rank
embodies hard work, diligence and
leadership, a boy might take a more
roundabout way to the top, with
multiple stumbles and starts along
the way.
According to Master of Ceremonies
and former Troop 20 Scoutmaster Bill
Zaharchuk, it took Connor a while
to get his Second Class merit badge
due to an inability to fold and repack
his tent at campouts. At this point in
the ceremony Connor was presented
with an instruction pamphlet from the
Eureka Tent Company, much to the
amusement of the audience.
Beyond packing tents, an Eagle candidate must earn 21
merit badges; he must be active and serve in a leadership
position in his troop. He must display an adherence to the
principles of the Scout Oath and Law in the decisions he
makes and the actions he takes in his personal life. Finally,
he must organize, plan and lead a service project to benet
a religious organization, school or his community.
Connor is a quiet fellow, but he had a vision. Connor
is a lifelong member of St. John the Evangelist church in
Hudson, and it was there, during his years of religious
instruction that Connor became familiar with the St.
Vincent de Paul Food Pantry and its mission. He knew
he wanted to help the food pantry in its quest to serve the
community.
Father Pierre Baker was not immediately sold on the
project. He questioned Connors commitment before
permitting him to begin, but Connor was true to his word.
He and his crew replaced the food pantrys metal racks
with spacious, sturdy shelving over six weekends of work.
Pauline Boisvert, director of the St. Vincent de Paul Food
Pantry, expressed her appreciation for Connors project
which, she said, expanded storage in a limited space and
permitted the organization of goods in such a way as to
expedite their retrieval. Since this food pantry serves
approximately one-third of Hudsons population, this is no
small feat.
Connor admits there were bumps along the way. The
worst part, he said, was the proposal he had to prepare
for the Eagle Board before they would sign off on the
project: 16 hours of writing, checking and re-writing.
Before construction could begin, there was calculating and
measuring, there was ordering and storing supplies; there
was the scheduling of work crews and tracking volunteer
hours and expenditures and the meticulous logging of
everything for the Eagle Boards review.
According to Father Baker, the nished project is a great
gift to the food pantry and to the Hudson residents it serves.
And its a great legacy for Connor, who, through his efforts,
exemplies the rst two lines of the Boy Scout Oath:
On my honor I will do my best
To do my duty to God and Country
Well done, Connor. Well done.

Retirement and FICA. For this rst year, the funds would come from
savings in the vacant stafng list of the budget. After documentation
and evaluation of the rst-year operation, if successful, it would
become part of the budget for the 2015-2016 school year.
The computer network technician in each building would keep a
log that the district technology director would review on a quarterly
basis. In addition, an evaluation would be presented to the school
board in May to determine its viability.
The second program came from a recent survey of teaching
staff in which 98 percent responded that a mentor program for
teachers would be an essential facet in creating a better educational
environment within the district. After meeting with SAU staff it was
proposed and presented to the board.
The following was the bullet points of the presentation:
Two mentors would be in place for every 30 staff members in
each building: two mentors at each elementary, four mentors
at Hudson Memorial and six mentors at Alvirne. Mentor
expectations would consist of one hour per week for 36 weeks at
$25 per hour, $900 annually with an annual cost to the district of
$14,400. In the FY15 budget, funds would come from savings in
salary costs and for future years, the cost of the program would
be budgeted.
Two one-hour formal meetings would occur per month with the
mentees. This would be considered the study committee in
the contract for new staff. Informal meetings and responses to
questions would satisfy the other two hours per month.
Teachers new to teaching would be involved for two years;
teachers coming with experience would participate for only one
year.
Activity logs would be kept by mentors.
On a quarterly basis, mentors would meet with the
superintendent to monitor progress of the program.
If there was a minimal need in one school and a greater need in
other schools, budgeted resources could be moved annually.
Assistant Superintendent Phyllis Schlichter mentioned that she
already had a list of teachers wanting to be involved, and she saw
this setting a tone of leadership. Acting Chairman Patty Langlais
asked Beth Lavoie, president of the Hudson teacher union, who was
in the audience to speak to the board about this proposal, Lavoie
was very positive and explained that Superintendant Lane had
spoken with her about it. While she felt that teachers always try to
help the teacher across the hallway, she thought having a formal
system with an assigned and compensated person would make it
easier to get answers. Board member Stacy Milbouer asked Lane
if he felt that this would help hold on to people and overcome the
lower salaries offered in Hudson. Lane replied that it was moving in
the right direction.
School Support- continued from front page
by Tom Tollefson
In its rst year, redistricting has been a success according to the
Hudson School Administration due to the increase in state test scores
for all levels of elementary school students.
Last year, staff and students were situated around the district
according to grade. All four school buildings had previously housed
grades kindergarten through fth grade. Since the redistricting,
grade levels are located this way:
Grades 2-5 at Hills Garrison;
Grades 2-5 at Nottingham West;
First grade at H. O. Smith; and
Pre-K and kindergarten at Library Street.
The goals for this change have been to better meet the students
academic needs, spread out the districts resources, and help
improve the test scores for each school.
Our goal was to create better practice for instruction and
assessment and to make informed decisions around instruction
through the use of data, said Hudson Superintendent Bryan Lane.
The test scores in both math and science have improved for all
levels of elementary school students in town according to the state
standardized test results, taken in the fall. The next standardized test
will come in the spring of 2015.
Our goal is to continue to increase our student scores and to
ensure that the gap with those with special needs and those without
closes dramatically, Lane said.
The school district has also begun using STAR Assessment, which
measures student improvement in math and reading throughout the
year. This assessment also showed an increase over the course of the
rst year after the recent transition.
In spite of the optimism for the new change, several concerns
were raised about transportation and cost impact on the districts
budget.
According to Lane there are no negative ongoing impacts on the
budget. The only cost item was $25,000 (larger than expected) for
the moving expenses.
The transportation costs remain the same on the budget, as no
additional buses were needed for the change.
Lane stated that we still have to cover the entire town regardless
in reference to the transportation.
Parents main concern was the increased commute times for their
children. Some parents reported that their children did not get off
the bus until 4 p.m. or later. Lane has stated that the district has
addressed these issues by working to decrease travel times for the
buses.
Initially there were major problems which after about four to ve
weeks were solved. Some of the runs are a little bit longer, and we
worked throughout the school year to modify them to decrease travel
time, Lane said. We will continue to work to decrease travel time
throughout the district in every way possible.
Another concern parents had were the anxieties in their children
as they dealt with the change of a new building, teachers, and new
peers.
Lane, administrators and teachers around the district agreed
that the school communities (teachers, principals, and guidance
counselors) excelled in easing the anxiety and providing a smooth
transition for all students.
I didnt see any sign of people not belonging, said Hills Garrison
Principal Marilyn Martellini. We worked really hard to get to know
the students and the staff. Staff worked hard to welcome everyone
into the school. We had a lot of new names to learn. I greeted the
children at the front (door) every day, and you do whatever you need
to make the children feel comfortable. The children adapted well to
the new facility and enjoyed it.
Lane has been pleased with the changes hes seen throughout the
schools.
Its been a positive change across the board. There have been
some concerns from parents about the changing schools and
transportation that we are dealing with. Academically, it has been a
positive change in every way, he said.
The ideas for redistricting came from the administration team
comprised mostly of Lane and principals from around the district.
The team developed the idea after analyzing the strengths and
weaknesses of the district.
We found that there were class sizes that were not consistent,
Lane said referring to the fth grade at Nottingham having 29
students per class compared to H. O. Smith having fewer than
20 per fth grade class. We also found that there was a lack of
organizational structure because our resources were spread pretty
thin. We focused resources where they were needed most and
could be better utilized, and we came up with a plan to create a
change in stafng patterns.
The staff at each school regularly meets in their grade level to
discuss curriculum, exchange ideas, analyze student data, discuss
student concerns, and discuss the strengths and weaknesses of their
classrooms.
It has been a very productive year for that exchange of ideas and
working together. I can honestly say that the teams meshed from the
very beginning, said Martellini.
The school administration believes this change has been critical to
the students recent progress. Instead of only having a small team of
teachers on grade level, H. O. Smith has all the rst grade teachers
in the district, and Library Street has all the pre-k and kindergarten
teachers in the district. They believe this change gives the two
schools more individual ideas and strategies that can be shared and
discussed in order to meet the best decisions for the students needs.
By focusing staff on grade levels we were able to create better
access for instruction, interaction between staff by grade level
to compare and contrast information, and enhance instructional
practice, Lane said.
This year isnt the end goal for the district. The long-term goal is
set for ve years. In that time Hudson schools will continue working
together to increase state test scores for all levels of students;
decrease academic learning gaps; and improve overall use of their
stafng, time, and resources to better suit the needs of the students
as they prepare them for middle school
To make real change and academic progress we stated that in
a ve-year span we would have to show that we are successful in
increasing test scores for all students. At this time we are on our way
to doing that, Lane said.

Keep Them Home, Happy and Studying: Creating a Kid-friendly Space
(BPT) - Would a great study space ease your childs transition from
summer to school? Perhaps an awesome lounge area could convince
your teens - and all their friends - that your house is the best hangout
spot ever. Whatever your objectives, a few design and decorating
tricks can help you create a kid-friendly space in your home.
The basics of good design that make grown-up spaces appealing
also work for childrens spaces. When designing a kid-friendly room,
however, its important to keep in mind not only the purpose of the
room (study, fun, sleep, etc.) but the age of the occupant, his or her
interests as well as incorporating fun into the design. Here are some
tips to get you started:
* Consider creating a theme. Kids of all ages love themes. To
decide which one might be right for your project, consider things
your child has shown an enduring interest in. For example, she may
be into princesses right now and hate the theme next year. On the
other hand, if shes always loved the color pink and has a passion
for animals, those elements could be worked into a theme that shell
appreciate for years to come.
* Choose ooring that fullls multiple needs. Carpeting ab-
sorbs sound (for when kids play loud video games or music) and is
comfortable for youngsters who like to sit or lie on the oor while
they do homework, read, watch TV or socialize. Whats more, its
available in virtually every hue and pattern imaginable, ensuring
youll nd something that appeals to both your design sense and
your childs tastes. Stain-resistant formulas and durable bers ensure
modern carpeting can stand up to the rigors of use in a childs room.
And, according to the Carpet & Rug Institute, properly cleaned
carpet can maintain indoor air quality, making it a viable choice
for families impacted by asthma and allergies. To learn more about
carpet, visit www.carpet-rug.org.
* A childs space needs layers of lighting, just as adult spaces
do. As youre choosing lighting, keep in mind how your child will
use the room. If he will be doing homework, task lighting and desk
lights will illuminate study areas. Will the room be a movie room or
a hangout for older teens? Recessed and dimmable lighting may
be appropriate. Dont forget to include natural light in your illu-
mination plans. Avoid heavy drapery. Instead, opt for bright colors
and lightweight materials for window treatments so windows admit
ample light. If you have a larger budget, consider adding a skylight
to provide light while preserving privacy.
* Organization is key in a childs room, and ample storage facili-
tates good organization. Depending on the size of the room and
how it will be used, shelving, portable cubes, book cases and other
furnishings can provide plenty of storage space. For desks, look for
desktop organizers that will keep important papers and supplies tidy
and close at hand. By helping kids stay organized now, youll be lay-
ing the foundation for a lifetime of good organizational skills.
* Remember the fun factor. Whatever the purpose of a childs
room, fun should be a universal ingredient. You can infuse fun in a
room in many ways, from creating a video game center for lounge
rooms to choosing colorful, texturally appealing carpeting for a bed-
room. A touch of whimsy, such as a swing hung from the ceiling or
a wall mural of your childs favorite cartoon character, can produce
smiles every time kids see them.
With some creativity and the right decorating materials, its pos-
sible to create a space that will make children comfortable, happy
and ready to tackle the new school year.
Teaching Kids to Give Back
(BPT) - One of the most
rewarding reasons to get
involved in your community
is to set a good example for
your kids. Whether you do-
nate money or time, giving
back is benecial, and not
just for the recipients. The
reward for your seless acts
can be a beautiful thing for
both your community and
your childrens future. But
what are some of the ways
you can teach kids to give
back and what age should you begin encouraging them?
Giving back is just as much about volunteering as it is about
philanthropy. Dr. Lois Winchell, child and family
therapist at Argosy University, Sarasota, believes
it should be a combination of both. If we want
our children to give back, our families need to
be involved in multiple activities, says Winchell.
These include volunteering resources and time
and giving money when possible. Learning how
to donate time can be a very powerful lesson for
children because it is a giving of ourselves. This
intimate experience can be signicant and can
often reap a more personal reward than the offer-
ing of money and things.
As with everything else in life, kids learn best
by example. The closer you can bring your child
to the recipient of the gift, the more personal the
experience becomes.
Nurturing a sense of giv-
ing and making sure this is a
value for your children starts
as early as age 3 or 4, says
Winchell. At this develop-
mental age, we can teach
them that others have feel-
ings and that your child has
an impact on those feelings.
This sense of empathy is the
underpinning of charity. The
most signicant impact on
our children is what they
actually see us doing as it
relates to a giving spirit. As we engage in specic projects, we can
have conversations with our children regarding why the project is
important and who will benet.
Start by expanding their sense of environment, from the immedi-
ate family to their local community and eventually the world around
them. A sense of awareness of something greater than themselves
is important in raising a compassionate individual. This sense of
responsibility to others and the environment as a world citizen can
be supported by making children aware of others needs whether
in visiting a shelter or a food banks with family members or simply
helping younger siblings.
From infancy to about 5 years old, children arent necessarily
capable of thinking outside of themselves. Even so, parents need to
foster their childs sharing with others, says Winchell. As children
grow older they can begin volunteering and supporting community
projects more directly. Whether they donate toys to a childrens
shelter or simply participate in a walk for charity, these years are
continued to page 10- Giving Back

Healthy Lunch and Snack Ideas for Back to School
(BPT) - If schools and parents received report cards on the lunches
theyre serving kids, most wouldnt receive a passing score. Many
lunches, whether served at school or brought from home, are made
with bleached our, articial sweeteners, food coloring, high-
fructose corn syrup, articial preservatives, hormones and trans fats.
Studies have shown that these ingredients are linked to weight gain,
defects in insulin and lipid metabolism, hyperactivity, increased risk
of tumors, cancer, digestive issues, asthma, premature heart attacks,
diabetes, and overexposure and resistance to antibiotics. Some of
these ingredients are even banned in other countries.
As a parent, what can you do to keep your child healthy? Life
Time - The Healthy Way of Life Company, suggests checking in with
your childs school to learn where foods are sourced, the nutritional
values and ingredients in order to make informed decisions.
The more highly processed foods are, the more likely they are to
contain the seven unsavory ingredients. Meaning they are foods its
best to nd alternatives for, says Laura Burbank, a registered dieti-
tian with the Life Time Foundation.
We encourage parents to speak with school nutrition direc-
tors and cafeteria managers about reducing the amount of highly
processed and articial items served in their lunch rooms, in favor
of wholesome, real foods, and were able to help parents throughout
that process, Burbank says.
Until changes are made, Burbank advises actively engaging kids
- starting when theyre young - in packing lunch at home. Getting
kids involved in packing their lunches makes them more likely to
eat and enjoy them, says Burbank. They feel helpful and theyre
learning along the way. She says its important to include a protein,
whole grains, fresh fruit, vegetables and healthy fats with every meal,
and provides some ideas below.
Lunch box option one:
* Lunch: turkey or ham sandwich with avocado and spinach on
whole grain bread. Look for meat that is free of hormones, antibiot-
ics, nitrates, articial preservatives and other additives.
* Snack: orange slices and string cheese.
Lunch box option two:
* Lunch: grilled chicken breast, avocado and roasted bell pepper
or shredded carrots in a whole grain pita with a Greek yogurt based
dressing or pesto.
* Snack: apple slices and almond butter. If your childs school has
a strict nut-free lunchroom guideline, include Greek yogurt with
vanilla and/or honey.
Lunch box option three:
* Lunch: a wholesome PB&J made with al-
mond butter and 100 percent fruit preserves on
whole grain bread.
* Snack: hard boiled eggs, cherry tomatoes, cucumbers with
Greek yogurt based vegetable dipping sauce, or pita chips and pep-
pers with hummus.
Healthier lunch room choices
Burbank notes that sometimes making lunch at home isnt a viable
option. If thats the case, she suggests parents discuss healthy lunch
room options with their kids, as studies have shown that in addi-
tion to nutritional benets, healthier diets also associate with higher
academic performance. Things to consider include:
* Choose a salad when available to include more vegetables in the
meal.
* Choose white milk over chocolate milk to cut down on sugar
intake.
* Choose 1 percent milk over skim or non-fat milk, the higher fat
content is more satiating.
* Choose whole grain pasta over bread which may contain
bleached our and preservatives.
* Choose red pasta sauce (vegetable-based) over cream sauce
(high in fat).
Choose fresh fruit over canned fruit which may contain articial
colors, preservatives and sweeteners.
Parents should also be encouraged to talk to the nutrition direc-
tors and cafeteria managers about reducing the amount of highly
processed and articial items in the school meals. The Life Time
Foundation is a great resource for more information on this.
The Life Time Foundation partners with schools to help them
remove highly processed and articial ingredients from school meals
by providing resources and assisting with menu development. For
more information on how your school can get involved, visit www.
ltffoundation.org.
important for a child to learn the art of giving back. When they
become teenagers, they can do even more for the community by
assisting an elderly neighbor with his yard work or helping out at a
local food bank or soup kitchen.
Additionally, it is important to convey the message that giv-
ing back does not include an expectation of getting something
in return. Instead, highlight the sense of joy in being able to make
someone happy and how those feelings are the greater gift.
When a child experiences sharing and the serving of others, an
internal sense of contentment and self-worth is experienced, says
Winchell. This self-enhancement and sense of belonging is coinci-
dent with their giving and results in a benet that cannot be gained
any other way. This sense of happiness and accomplishment then
contributes to their positive sense of self. In other words, teaching
kids to give back is one of the best things a parent can do for the
community and the child.

Thumbs Up? Thumbs Down? Thumbs Up? Thumbs Down?
Thumbs down to the
response to left turners out
of Lowell Road condos. And
thumbs down to anyone who
takes the left of way. Yes,
people turning right have the
option of right turn on red.
Thats the law, has been for a
long time. A short time on the
light isnt license for cutting
someone off. If theres an
accident - youre at fault! If
theres not enough time on
the light, tell the highway
department. Dont barrel out
and almost hit me.
Thumbs up to all the
motorists who follow the State
of NH Move Over Law, by
moving over and if you cannot
then slow down for stopped
emergency vehicles.
Thumbs down. Would you
Obama supporters please do
yourselves a favor and research
subjects before you speak
(or write). Every time I read
your facts which are actually
uneducated opinions, I cry at
what our Country is coming
to.
Thumbs up/Thumbs down.
Glad the green droid is gone!
Three years of incessant
honking - enough already.
If you were a Lowell Road
condos neighbor, you wouldnt
think it was so cute. Over
1,200 honks every weekend.
Verizon didnt care even after
multiple complaints. Now we
can nally open our windows
and sit outside in peace
without feeling like we live
next to a never-ending protest
rally. Your actions affect others
- think before you honk!
Thumbs up to the patron
who expressed interest in
increased hours at Litchelds
public library. While its true
we are closed on Saturdays in
July and August, we are open
10-8 Tuesday Thursday, and
10-6 on Friday. Please call or
email and let us know if we
can help you in any way!
Thumbs down to Walt
Haverstein. Apparently he was all for Obamacare
when it personally beneted him and his
company but now that hes thrown his hat in
the ring as a GOP candidate, hes decided
hes against it after all. Give back the money
you made off it and then Ill
believe you, otherwise you are
a hypocrite.
Thumbs up to the man
cleaning up litter along
Albuquerque early in the
mornings. I tip my hat to
you!
Thumbs up to Sue Ayer
and the wonderful CHS staff
for supporting WorkcampNE
this summer. All your hard
work was greatly appreciated
every day! You assisted
everyone in a very pleasant
and professional manner.
Thank you from all of us!
Thumbs
down to the
man going to
the Litcheld
dump that
did not stop
at the four
way stop on
Albuquerque
and Hillcrest.
Just because
others stop,
does not
mean you
can go without stopping. A
4-way stop means all cars
must come to a complete stop.
Learn the rules of the road
before you cause an accident.
Thumbs down to the
chicken owner. You wake up
my entire family every day
and they are constantly getting
loose!
Thumbs up to the Water
Rocket Launch sponsored by
the Cub Scouts. Join us at the
next one coming up on the
19th.
Thumbs up to me for being
in the right lane at the DDs
light, and for all the folks
merging nicely before the
Sagamore Bridge.
Thumbs down to greedy
corporations and the
executives that run them! First
Comcast and PSNH and now
Market Basket ... Cmon guys
no need to rape and pillage
all the villagers at once. Save
some for the next generation
of greedy executives following
right behind you! What a
disgusting shame things have
become! Whatever happened
to the days when you received
a quality product for a fair
price?
Thumbs down! Ray
Buckleys recent rant in
the local daily newspaper,
belittling Romney, is ridiculous.
Do you know why he wrote
about Romney? Because
there is buyers remorse in NH! They need to
squash any hope now if Romney decided to run
for President. Romney would have been one of
the best Presidents ever. He was belittled by the
Obama machine then and they are still beating
the drum. This is what the democrats do ... make
out the good guy to be a demon, out of touch,
mean-spirited, and a racist when you dont agree
with the democrats ... woman haters ... hates
the poor. Yeah, look at where the poor are now
... even more hooked on the free stuff. What
incentive have they been given? And, woman?
Oh, Free birth control! Now, thats something for
the democrats to be proud of.
Thumbs up/Thumbs down. A great big
heartfelt Thank You to Hannafords in Hudson,
NH for donating the Hoodsie Cups and toppings
for Alvirne High Schools Bronco Marching Band
and Color guards Freshman Ice Cream Social.
We appreciate everything that you do for us and
our community.
Thumbs up. Two thumbs up and a thank you
to the parents, guardians, students and alumni
who took time out of their busy schedules to assist
with Alvirne High Schools Bronco Marching Band
and Color Guard uniform ttings over the summer.
Without you we would be lost tting 200 band/

Ulery Attends 2014 ALEC Conference
submitted by Jordan Ulery
Last week Representative Jordan Ulery, representing Hudson and
Pelham, attended the annual meeting of the American Legislative
Exchange Council. Ulery joined nearly 1,200 other legislators from
across the nation to discuss issues facing the several states and the
nation and review possible answers to those issues. Sited in Dallas,
the event was opened by Governor Perry and closed with comments
by Attorney General Abbott of Texas.
Ulery was able to attend a series of lectures on scal policy led by
international experts such as Dr. Richard Vetter, Dr. Stephen Moore,
Dr. Arthur Laffer and Dr. Jonathan Williams. Said Jordan Ulery of
Vetters presentations; Dr. Vetter is the only person who can make
the dry subject of economic theory exciting and funny. Dr. Vetter
was invited to address the new General Court in early January. He
expressed a desire to return to the Granite State if he is available.
Despite being a seeming unexciting topic of economic policy
said Representative Jordan Ulery, scal freedom is what separates a
freeman from a serf.
The Wednesday luncheon speakers reviewed the new publication
on how states acquire revenue and how they spread the wealth to
others. Titled An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth
of States, Dr. Arthur Laffer and Messers. Alex Spinqueeld and Travis
Brown published a New York Times and USA Today Best-selling
book on the economics that directly affect each of us through local
taxation, said Representative Ulery. For a preview of this exciting
new economic theory book you may consider visiting http://www.
wealthofstates.com.
Two new and innovative programs to deal with the massive tax
burden caused by Medicaid Expansion were reviewed as well.
These programs have been tried in other states and have reduced
dependence upon government direct assistance and helped people
received better health care than the traditional poor out-come
Medicaid assistance programs existing. Representative Ulery
commented that the purpose of Legislators getting together to
discuss common problems is to use each state as a laboratory of
innovation to help all the other states. Some of the ideas presented,
especially dealing with the highly successful volunteer foster care
programs developed in other states, may nd its way into NH
legislation.
The Representative from Hudson and Pelham was also able to
have quiet dinner with Herman Cain to discuss the on-going active
efforts to pass a Balanced Budget Amendment (BBA) in the states.
Many states, including New Hampshire, have already petitioned
Congress for an Article V convention to change the Constitution
to force the federal government to live within its means. Mr. Cain
has stated that he hopes to return to New Hampshire to discuss this
issue in the Winter or Spring. Other states, including California and
Vermont, have requested a Convention To Propose Amendments.
Congress is not
going to limit its own
power. The Founders
created a mechanism
in the Constitution
for the Several States
to limit a runaway
Congress. For more
information of Article
V consider: http://
conventionofstates.
com/ and http://
articlevcaucus.com.
For information on
the many speakers
and educational programs offered visit www.alec.org. All was
not lectures and discussion groups. One single evening, after
the lectures, was set aside for a Texas barbeque, complete with
mechanical bull riding, beans, BBQ brisket and BBQ pork, jalapeo
corn bread (rather good), peach cobbler and Shiner Boch (in my
opinion, NH regional beer is better in case you are wondering).
The American Legislative Exchange Council is a 501(c)3 charitable
association registered with the IRS. The mission statement of ALEC
is Limited Government. Free Markets. Federalism. Before some
highly opinionated person begins a critical diatribe based upon
lack of accurate information; no evil corporate entities (you know,
the ones that provide jobs, healthcare programs and pensions to
say nothing of investment opportunities) contributed directly to
Representative Ulery or any of the several other New Hampshire
Representatives, of both political parties, who are members of ALEC.
Yes, I am a member of ALEC and serve as a co-chair for the Granite
State (which only means I get to arrive early and leave late at events).

Ulery Attends 2014 ALEC Conference
submitted by Jordan Ulery
Last week Representative Jordan Ulery, representing Hudson and
Pelham, attended the annual meeting of the American Legislative
Exchange Council. Ulery joined nearly 1,200 other legislators from
across the nation to discuss issues facing the several states and the
nation and review possible answers to those issues. Sited in Dallas,
the event was opened by Governor Perry and closed with comments
by Attorney General Abbott of Texas.
Ulery was able to attend a series of lectures on scal policy led by
international experts such as Dr. Richard Vetter, Dr. Stephen Moore,
Dr. Arthur Laffer and Dr. Jonathan Williams. Said Jordan Ulery of
Vetters presentations; Dr. Vetter is the only person who can make
the dry subject of economic theory exciting and funny. Dr. Vetter
was invited to address the new General Court in early January. He
expressed a desire to return to the Granite State if he is available.
Despite being a seeming unexciting topic of economic policy
said Representative Jordan Ulery, scal freedom is what separates a
freeman from a serf.
The Wednesday luncheon speakers reviewed the new publication
on how states acquire revenue and how they spread the wealth to
others. Titled An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth
of States, Dr. Arthur Laffer and Messers. Alex Spinqueeld and Travis
Brown published a New York Times and USA Today Best-selling
book on the economics that directly affect each of us through local
taxation, said Representative Ulery. For a preview of this exciting
new economic theory book you may consider visiting http://www.
wealthofstates.com.
Two new and innovative programs to deal with the massive tax
burden caused by Medicaid Expansion were reviewed as well.
These programs have been tried in other states and have reduced
dependence upon government direct assistance and helped people
received better health care than the traditional poor out-come
Medicaid assistance programs existing. Representative Ulery
commented that the purpose of Legislators getting together to
discuss common problems is to use each state as a laboratory of
innovation to help all the other states. Some of the ideas presented,
especially dealing with the highly successful volunteer foster care
programs developed in other states, may nd its way into NH
legislation.
The Representative from Hudson and Pelham was also able to
have quiet dinner with Herman Cain to discuss the on-going active
efforts to pass a Balanced Budget Amendment (BBA) in the states.
Many states, including New Hampshire, have already petitioned
Congress for an Article V convention to change the Constitution
to force the federal government to live within its means. Mr. Cain
has stated that he hopes to return to New Hampshire to discuss this
issue in the Winter or Spring. Other states, including California and
Vermont, have requested a Convention To Propose Amendments.
Congress is not
going to limit its own
power. The Founders
created a mechanism
in the Constitution
for the Several States
to limit a runaway
Congress. For more
information of Article
V consider: http://
conventionofstates.
com/ and http://
articlevcaucus.com.
For information on
the many speakers
and educational programs offered visit www.alec.org. All was
not lectures and discussion groups. One single evening, after
the lectures, was set aside for a Texas barbeque, complete with
mechanical bull riding, beans, BBQ brisket and BBQ pork, jalapeo
corn bread (rather good), peach cobbler and Shiner Boch (in my
opinion, NH regional beer is better in case you are wondering).
The American Legislative Exchange Council is a 501(c)3 charitable
association registered with the IRS. The mission statement of ALEC
is Limited Government. Free Markets. Federalism. Before some
highly opinionated person begins a critical diatribe based upon
lack of accurate information; no evil corporate entities (you know,
the ones that provide jobs, healthcare programs and pensions to
say nothing of investment opportunities) contributed directly to
Representative Ulery or any of the several other New Hampshire
Representatives, of both political parties, who are members of ALEC.
Yes, I am a member of ALEC and serve as a co-chair for the Granite
State (which only means I get to arrive early and leave late at events).

Hudson Girls Softball League
Hudson Girls Softball League hosted its annual
2014 HGSL Championship playoff game. It was
on Friday night, June 20 when 27 senior division
players met at Alvirne High School eld C, to
battle it out on the softball diamond for the 2014
HGSL Championship title.
Both teams known as the Nor Eastas and
the Storm stepped on to the eld with one goal
of winning the 2014 championship title. For
a tense two and half hours both teams showed
outstanding offensive and defensive softball
playing. The Nor Eastas came out strong in the
rst few innings, taking a large lead over the
Storm. Team Storm rallied together for a strong
warning with an unbelievable turn around, and
bringing it to a two-run game.
Coming back from a devastating last place
in the 2013 season, the Nor Eastas showed no
mercy, as they swept the Storm away, taking the
win and rights as the 2014 HGSL champions.
Nor Eastas Capture HGSL 2014 Championship
Hudson Girls Softball League Senior Division team Storm takes
second place in the 2014 HGSL Championship Playof game.

Successful First Season
for 8U All Star Travel Team
submitted By
Coach Ron Ricard
This summer Hudson Youth
Baseball put together its rst
8U All Star Travel Team for
the 2014 season and was
quite successful. Managed
by Ron Ricard and assisted
by coaches Dave Thibeault
and Mike Laroe, Hudson 8U
came out with a 7-5 and 1
record.
The team had a great
time participating in three
tournaments in Salem,
Lowell and Tyngsborough
just missing a playoff spot
in the rst two tourneys and
securing a playoff spot in the
nal tourney in taking fourth
place in Tyngsborough.
Hudson played the rst-
place Lowell Highlands team
in the playoffs for a chance
to play in the championship
game. Hudson kept it a close
game (0-0 through three
innings) losing 3-1. Several
great defensive plays were
made by both teams and the
pitching was great. In a short
period of time (one month)
Hudson came together as
a strong team constantly
keeping up with older 8U
teams. Hudson, which was
comprised of seven 7 year
olds and ve 8 years olds,
kept all opponents on the
fence and the parents on the
edge of their seats in every
game. These Hudson players
are going to be baseball
leaders next year at their age
level.
Special thanks to team Mom Cheryl Belanger
for all of her support and help, Ian Nickerson for
constantly keeping score and the support of all of
the parents at practices and to the Hudson Youth
Baseball Organization for making this possible.

Blast 10U Softball Captures Regional Title
by Marc Ayotte
They took things as far as they could
and beat the best of the rest. The spirited
and talented ensemble of Litcheld softball
players culminated a phenomenal, season-
long run this past week when they added
to district and state titles by earning the
title of New England Regional champions.
The Blast blew away Windham in a mercy-
shortened, 13-1 affair in Rochester on
July 27. At the U10 level, there is not a
World Series to compete in, consequently,
the regional win served as the softball
pinnacle in what was an exciting and highly
successful tournament season. After the
regionals, the Blast owned an impressive
season mark of 30-10-1; including four
tournament wins along with a second-place
nish.
With a downpour of Rochester rain pre-
empting their post-tournament celebration,
the Blast team celebrated their victory this
past week at Darrah Pond in Litcheld. After
a short practice in preparation for the season-
ending tournament being held on their home turf,
the team took advantage of a photo op; posing
with this years collection of trophies and plaques.
Then, under somewhat threatening skies, players,
coaches and parents moved to the pavilion to
enjoy a well-earned pizza party.
Heading into the Rochester-based tournament,
the 10U Blast were looking to make it
back-to-back regional titles; adding to their
accomplishment of B2B years of winning the
districts and states. In what was a crucial rst
game, Litcheld faced the revered, hometown
Rochester team. Trailing 4-1 late in the game, the
Blast exploded for ve fth inning runs on their
way to a 6-4 win.
Litcheld continued its quest for a title repeat by
running into an uncharacteristic speed bump from
Connecticut; losing to the Cheshire Flames, 5-3
in game 2 of pool action. Once again our bats
were slow, recalled Head Coach Rich Gamache,
referencing the teams timid offensive start in
the opening game. After staking Cheshire to a
5-0 bulge with all ve runs coming in the fourth
inning, the Blast comeback fell short, answering
with only three runs in the fth.
In their third game of the tournament,
Litchelds bats were resurrected. Spearheaded
by Nikki Monoxeloss three RBI performance
on a 2-for-2 day at the plate, the Blast emerged
from pool play as a number 2 seed after bombing
Barrington (NH) by a 10-4 score. In the circle,
Litcheld received strong efforts from Madeline
Davis and Sarah Corbett. Davis, who Coach
Gamache referred to as his work horse, went the
distance in game one and red four innings in
game 3 in picking up the wins. Corbett pitched
the nal two innings in that game, earning praise
from her coach: She is a legitimate closer; she
had a change-up that bafed every girl. In all,
Corbett went on to make relief appearances in
every game except the opening game against
Windham.
Moving into the double-elimination bracket
round, Davis staked her claim to
pitching prominence with three
wins, as the Blast started by
disposing nearby rival Windham
in game one, crushing the
Wildcats to the tune of 12-2. In
the next game, the Blast exacted
revenge on the Cheshire nine,
dousing the Flames with a 6-4
win.
Cheshire was then ousted
from the tournament when
they suffered an elimination
game, 9-8 loss to Windham;
setting the stage for yet another
Litcheld vs. Windham battle
for it all. In what proved to be
the second championship game
confrontation in as many weeks,
Davis and Corbett once again
combined to shut down the
Cat attack. And with a timely
offensive surge as reected by
Catherine Carignans three-run
home run along with notable
at-bats from Chloe Steiniger (two
hits, two RBI) and Abby Buxton
(3-for-3, two RBI), Litcheld
lit up Windham pitching for
double-digit runs on the way
to an abbreviated, four-inning,
13-1 victory.
In referencing current 12U
Blast team member O J Byers,
who almost single handedly
shut-down opponents bats last year while in the
circle as a 10U, Coach Gamache gave praise to
the concerted team effort of 2014. I cant believe
where this team went. Pitching and bats all came
together at the right time to accomplish what they
did, admitted Gamache, adding; Im very proud
of them.

Several familiar faces were absent from this years
Alvirne High School-hosted 5K Invitational, but truth
be known, its unlikely any of them would have been
able to stop the Bronco locomotive who has been
lights-out since last springs high school track and eld
season. In a personal record-setting performance,
AHS junior Kendall Westhoff broke away from a eld
of nearly 40 runners and established a new Muck-
Muck/Ding-Ding race record, crossing the nish line
in a mid-summer, eye-opening time of 16:55.4.
The Hills House in Hudson was the site for the
start of the third annual Hudson Community Run
that serves as a fundraiser for the Alvirne boys and
girls Cross Country teams. Bronco running star Josh
Bellomo (2nd, 17:09.9) had the lead at the rst turn
on the AHS home course, but soon after, Westhoff
took control of the race and it was his to lose. Spring
track was the season everything came together for
me, offered Westhoff who destroyed his previous
personal best by 37 seconds.
Westhoff will be entering his junior year at Alvirne
when school resumes later this month. He became
a Bronco this past season after relocating to Hudson
from the North Pacics Marshall Islands. I ran while
I was there, reected Westhoff, but noted that the
competitive atmosphere did not compare to what
he has experienced here in Division I. Going on to
explain that not only is the competition better in NH,
but the training he is receiving from his coaches is
better. Westhoff noted, Even on the team, the guys
push me.
Pushing him
almost the
entire distance
and nishing
just 15 seconds
behind in
second place
was 2013
winner, Noah
Bellomo.
Once dubbed
the fastest
freshman in
D-I, Bellomo
did not
establish a new
PR but did beat
last years time
in this event
by nearly 90
seconds. I ran pretty well; Kendall took it out pretty
hard and I just went with him, explained Bellomo.
Although he has not competed this summer, Bellomo
admitted that he participated in this event just to see
how he felt and also in preparation for the high school
season which starts at the end of the month.
With respect to the 2014 season, Bellomo
commented on what appears to be a stacked team
and who are, according to Assistant Coach Jeff
DiPrizito, ranked third in D-I pre-season polls. I
think its looking very good. I think our top three is
really solid, said Bellomo while noting that

Phil Demers (part of the Bronco triumvirate)
was not able to attend the race as he
was working at a running camp in
Bangor, Maine. In his stead, teammate
Kyle Saunders who will also be a strong
component to this years Bronco team,
assumed the third position for the day;
nishing with an impressive 18:16.9 effort.
Rounding out the top-ve nishers were
Alvirne senior Noah Cote (4th,18:34) and
Frank Cunniff (5th, 19:44).
Representing the AHS girls X-C team on
the Sunday, August 3, race, and nishing
rst among female competitors (20:46.4,
9th overall) was Shaylyn Saunders. I
thought I ran well because my goal was 22
minutes, so Im really happy, revealed the
Lady Bronco. Although she has not run
competitively all summer, Saunders did say
that she may compete in the Zach Attack 5K before
the start of the school season.
Finishing rst among the adult runners was Chris
Mulligan. The Hudson resident, whose daughter,
Kendra, dons the maroon and gold for the AHS girls
X-C team, has run this race in each of the rst three
years nishing 16th overall this year.
After the race, Bronco Head Coach Tom Daigle
voiced his pleasure with the performance of members
of his team, saying; My top ve guys are running
really, really well. Their times are where we need
them to be in order to be competitive this season.

Litchfeld 12U Softball Heads South to World Series
by Marc Ayotte
For the third consecutive year, the
Blast 12U girls softball team will be
heading to Alachua, Fla., to compete
in the Babe Ruth World Series. The
annual event, which features the best
22 teams from across the land, is being
held at the Hal Brady Sports Complex,
August 6-14.
The eld of competing teams is
comprised of 12 regional champions
and 10 invitational winners. As Head
Coach Bob Wright revealed, the Blast
qualied for this years World Series
when they won one of the qualier
tournaments that took place in
Londonderry earlier in the season. The
Blast reached the World Series for the
rst time three years ago in identical
fashion; having won the Londonderry
qualier, but this will be the rst
appearance for Wright as the 12U
coach.
The team is rolling onto the national stage, ring on all cylinders
after going 6-0 just last week in the nal regular season tournament
held at Darrah Pond in Litcheld. The Blast went unblemished
and walked away with the heavy hardware after a convincing 11-1
lambasting of Londonderry in the nals. O J Byers and Marissa
Carignan combined for the win in the circle while Byers, Steph
Daigle and Liz Wright led the
bat-attack with multiple hit
games. We had good hitting
all through the line up, noted
Coach Wright.
One week earlier, they had a
strong showing as well, nishing second
in the New England Regionals. In pool
play, the Blast posted a perfect 3-0
record resultant from a 10-2 win over
Vermont, a tightly contested 6-4 victory
over Inter-Lakes and a 15-5 pummeling
of Plymouth. In the Inter-Lakes contest,
Steph Daigle was the offensive star,
blasting a 212 foot shot over the left
eld fence for a two run homer, which
gave them a 6-1 lead at the time and
ultimately proved to be the winning
runs.
In the double-elimination bracket
round, Litcheld started nicely by
recording a 9-3 win over Berlin. After
losing game 2 to Stamford, Conn., the
Blast bounced back with an elimination
game win over Raynham, Mass.
However, in the nals, they fell to
Stamford for the second time in as many
attempts, dropping a 9-5 decision.
Regarding the trip to the Sunshine
State, the Blast players and coaching staff are excited and ready
for the challenge. Theyre psyched, exclaimed Coach Wright
in discussing the overall team approach. The nals win over
Londonderry put the players in a positive frame of mind heading to
the nationals, intimated Wright. I think theyre ready to go. They
hadnt been hitting well early Sunday. (Against Londonderry) they
came out on re it was a good way to end.
The week-long experience proves to be action-packed with
softball and other recreational activities. Several of the players and
their parents have post-tournament plans which include the likes of
visiting Disney World and Gator Country, a trip to the campus of
the University of Florida, located in Gainesville, less than 20 miles
away.
One of those excited about
visiting UF and spending
some private time with her
family is Steph Daigle. An avid Gator fan, Daigle is chomping at
the bit over the prospective visit to the land of orange and blue
as well as enjoying the aftermath of her rst home run in a 12U
uniform. It was a really good feeling. I didnt know that I could
even hit it that far, recalled Daigle of her tape-measure job in the
regional nals. As to the trip to the nationals, she said, Im really
excited that were getting the opportunity to go.
Echoing similar sentiments was catcher Liz Wright. Enjoying her
role as the everyday catcher, Wright summed up her take on the
opportunity of playing on the big stage by saying: It feels insane;
thats pretty much it.
OJ Byers said the experience means a lot to her, and she
appreciates the opportunities she has had of playing in tournaments
outside of Litcheld. Accordingly, she noted one of the teams
recent, big wins, Winning states was real exciting; we lost to
Londonderry the last time we played them.
Marissa Carignan agreed with her teammates, saying: Its a great
experience. Although they earned the right to compete in the
World Series by winning the regional qualier, Carignan and the
team still felt they had something to prove to themselves. It took
a lot of pressure off, but we wanted to earn our way by winning the
regionals.
After the plane touches down in Florida, players and coaches
face a hectic and busy schedule before play commences. Once
they arrive at their designated hotels (reserved especially for World
Series participants and their families) they will go to an orientation
meeting which includes individual photos, a meeting with the media
as well as being introduced to other team members. The opening
ceremonies, which will feature a light show with reworks, will
reect a rst in Babe Ruth History occurrence, as two World Series
age groups will be taking place at the same time; the Cal Ripken
Major/60 teams along with the 12U Babe Ruth Softball.
Once play begins, the Blast will open up their schedule on Friday,
August 8, with an 8:30 a.m. game against Ormond Beach, Fla. Later
in the day at 5:30, they will face the same Stamford, Conn., team
that bounced them from the N. E. Regionals. On Saturday, pool play
continues when they face another Florida team, Ocala, at 12:30,
and then they close out the day with a game at 5:30 against the West
Coast representative, Lodi, Calif., squad.
Prior to his ight to Florida,
Coach Wright wished to express
his deepest gratitude to the
Litcheld softball family which
has been such an integral part
of the teams success all season
long. Id like to thank all the
coaches, parents and volunteers
for the year-long help. It takes a
big effort, and without them, this
probably wouldnt happen.
