Hudson Fire Explorers Show Dedication, Commitment to Service
by Doug Robinson
Since the 1940s,
Hudson Fire Department
professionals have been
grooming and growing
Hudsons youth in fire
service. A commitment
to serve, both within the
fire department and the
community is the core
value taught.
The Hudson Fire
Department adopted the
program established by
the Boy Scouts during
the 1970s and formally
established the Explorer
Post at that time.
Youth between the ages
of 14 to 21 are eligible
to become an Explorer.

Recently, they worked behind the scenes to not only set up
the Hudson Community Center for the Heroin in Hudson - A
Community Discussion, they also broke down all the chairs and
tables. At the discussion, they could be seen distributing water
to the nearly 200 people in attendance.
We strive to teach the Explorers what it means to be a
Hudson firefighter. When they put on that shirt, they represent
the Hudson Fire Department and they are to act accordingly.
When our phones ring, we answer. Period. We are here to
serve, and every Explorer understands that value, stated Captain
Morin.
The Explorers can be routinely seen standing shoulder-toshoulder with their adult peers not only at most motor vehicle
accidents, but at fires as well. In addition, they ring the Salvation
Army bell, assist with station tours and participate in all Hudson
Fire Department functions.
Being involved in community is as big a response to our
community as our answering those calls. People look up to
firefighter and that is a responsibility they must embrace.

The three kindergarten classes at the Presentation of Mary Academy had their annual field trip to Apple Acres in Windham.
The students have been learning about fall and all the fun things that go along with it. The staff at Apple Acres demonstrates
for the children how they make apple cider and peel the apples for homemade apple pie. Farmer Sam treated the students
to a hay ride and showed the children how to pick the perfect apple! The visit ends with a sample of cider and a fresh apple
donut made on site. The kindergarten students have visited Apple Acres as part of the fall curriculum for the past eight years.

The Hudson Fire Explorers have a bedroom dedicated for their

learning should they chose to work a full shift at the fire department.
In this arena, the Explorers perform every duty necessary and
required during a firefighters normal shift. Should a call come
in during their shift, they will ride with the captain on duty, fully
dressed in their turn-down gear, ready for what that call may bring.
The Explorers are not allowed to participate in sensitive situations
involving personal injuries or calls where the Explorers may not
be suited, these Explorers are learning as they attend school by
participating in a live-in Fire Department program. This type of
working/educational relationship affords the new firefighter with both
hands-on experience with an education, stated Captain Morin.
The Manchester Fire Department has hired four Hudson Fire
Explorer graduates, while the Nashua Fire Department has taken on
six Hudson Fire Explorers.
The Hudson Fire Department has hired four graduates, and they
are currently working as full-time Hudson firefighters.

At Monday nights Hudson School
Board meeting a budget overview
was disseminated to the board by
Superintendent Bryan Lane.
In his introduction Lane noted
that this a proposed budget that was
created through a joint effort between
each school and the SAU staff.
The proposed budget is
$50,407,312. This amount reflects
an increase of $1,012,005 or 2.05
percent from the current default
budget. Projected revenue for the
district will decrease by approximately
$325,000.
Lane outlined the impact. After
taking all funds into account, the town
appropriation is proposed to increase
by $1,126,320. This will have an
impact of 43 cents per $1,000 of
property valuation. For a home
with an assessed value of $300,000,
this would be an increase of $129
annually or $10.75 per month in
taxes.
The default budget (as defined
by SB 2) is calculated as being
$50,367,987, which is $39,325 less
than the proposed budget.
Areas of specific increases in the
memo included:
$706,000 for health insurance
increases; they have budgeted for
an 8 percent increase.
$128,000 Transportation,
the SAU has budgeted a 10
percent increase. As they will be
negotiating a new transportation
contract and they wanted to
account for any increases that
may come from the bus company.
$323,000 Special Education
Tuition, as described by Larry
Russell at the Sept. 28 school
board meeting, the district has
had students move into the
district in the last five months that
require out-of-district placement
for which they could not

anticipate.
Technology
These above areas account for
$1,157,000, an amount greater than
the total increase in the budget.
Additional areas of increase
included:
$35,000 Facilities for snow
removal
$210,000 Facilities for projects
that include window replacement
at the Early Learning Center
(H. O. Smith and Library Street
schools), replacement scoreboard
at Alvirne High School, VCT
tile projects, air conditioning
for new computer room at Hills
Garrison, locker room renovation
at Hudson Memorial School,
replacing basketball backboards
at Nottingham West Elementary
School, and roof flashing project
at Nottingham West Elementary
School.
There are textbook replacement
requests for chemistry and earth
science at Alvirne High School and for
history at Hudson Memorial.
There are increases in the area of
technology in both equipment and
infrastructure to move forward with
the Information Technology Strategic
Plan that was previously presented to
the school board.
Lane is recommending two fewer
teachers at the elementary school
level, one at Hills Garrison and one
at Nottingham West, due to declining
enrollment. Also proposed is to
decrease one part-time secretarial
position at Nottingham West. The
decrease in positions will be done
through not filling positions of retiring
staff.
In addition to the budget warrant
article other potential warrant articles
will include:

During the decades of the 1940s and 50s a business center
developed in Hudson along Central and Ferry streets as you
approached the bridge into Nashua. This center evolved, for the
most part, in pre-existing wooden buildings many dating back to
1900 or earlier. With the planning of the twin span bridges, new
access routes were necessary on both sides of the Merrimack. As a
result a large number of buildings in the Hudson bridge area were
demolished.
Phil Lamoy, owner of the 20th Century Stores, announced his
plans to build a shopping center on Derry Road. Groundbreaking

Calling on FERC to Review All Energy

Projects in Region
submitted by the Office of Congresswoman Annie Kuster
On Tuesday, Oct. 1, Congresswoman Annie Kuster
(NH-02) presented a letter to the Federal Regulatory
Commission calling for FERC to consider assessing energy
projects across the region in tandem with its review of the
proposed Northeast Energy Direct pipeline. The letter was
read at the final scoping meeting before FERCs preliminary
scoping period ends and Kinder Morgan officially files with
FERC initiating the Environmental Impact Study process.
Congresswoman Kuster has fought for a respectful,
comprehensive, and transparent public review process
for the pipeline. Moreover, Kuster has made a point to
tour key sites in southern New Hampshire that would be
impacted by construction and operation of the pipeline.
Throughout my tenure in Congress, I have advocated
for smart energy policies that preserve our environment,
protect the public, and lower electricity costs for Granite
Staters, said Congresswoman Kuster. New Hampshire
and the greater New England region are currently faced
with a number of energy projects designed to meet the
electricity needs of the regional energy market. As the
preliminary scoping process comes to an end, I urge FERC
to assess all of the regions proposed projects together to

determine a course of action that is in the best interest
of the public. FERC must consider all options and
alternatives in this process. I will continue listening to
town officials and residents from impacted communities
and ensuring their concerns are addressed by FERC. I
share many of these same concerns and am confident that
New Hampshire can find a way to satisfy its energy needs
without endangering the people, natural beauty, or the
character of our state.
This letter comes in the wake of previous letters that
Kuster wrote to FERC and Kinder Morgan highlighting
her concerns with the project. Additionally, the
congresswoman has previously joined with the other
members of the New Hampshire congressional delegation
to call for more public meetings in communities that
could be affected by the proposed pipeline, in calling for a
review of FERCs process for determining public need, and
expressing concerns about the ability of impacted residents
to contribute to the federal review process of Kinder
Morgans Northeast Energy Direct natural gas pipeline.

Your Generous Hearts and Helping Hands
ESTATE PLANNING- ITS YOUR FUTURE
Making the Holidays Special for our Troops

submitted by Ted Luszey
Its hard to believe that another holiday packing event is
almost upon us. Operation Care for Troops (formerly known as
MooreMart) is gearing up for its holiday shipment to the best darned
troops in the world. You have given them so much joy over the
years, with your generous hearts and helping hands, that were sure
you must be Santas Elves! This year, there are three ways you can
help:
Fill one stocking or more with the items noted below, donate items
requested by our troops below and well fill the stockings and/or
write brief cards or letters to the troops.
If You Are Filling Stockings Yourself:
If you fill stockings yourself, we need to receive them by Nov.
13. Bring them to us at the Nashua Armory, 154 Daniel Webster
Highway, Nashua, anytime from 2:30 to 7 p.m. on Nov. 12 or 13.
Heres how to pack them, in order to cram as much stuff as
possible into it without bursting it at the seams. Start with a 14-inch
to 15-inch stocking (some have used a 17-1/2 -inch one with the top
folded over). Open that stocking wide.
Put two pairs of white athletic socks way down in the toe.
Add two or three power bars (like Cliff Bars) on top of
those. Put in a ziplock bag.
Fill another ziplock bag with a toothbrush, dental floss, and
a small to medium tube of toothpaste.
Add a box of individual powdered drink mix.
Gently toss in two packages of those yummy Ramen
noodles.
Dont forget a movie-sized box of candy (movie to be
determined).
Add a card game for fun or small Nerf ball
Top it off with a small package of beef jerky.
And most importantly, write a card or a short letter of
cheer to the happy service person whos going to get this
stocking!
Now, that is a Christmas stocking!

Attorneys General from 38 States
Urge Passage of Comprehensive
Addiction and Recovery Act of 2015
submitted by the Office of U.S. Senator Kelly Ayotte
The week of Sept. 28, a bipartisan group of Attorneys General
from 38 states including New Hampshire - sent a letter to leaders
of the House and Senate Judiciary Committees endorsing the
Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Act of 2015. Senator
Ayotte joined a bipartisan group of colleagues to reintroduce the
bill earlier this year. The letter was sent on behalf of the National
Association of Attorneys General and signed by 38 attorneys
general, including New Hampshires Joseph A. Foster.
Law enforcement has always been on the frontline when it
comes to drug crises, but we cannot arrest ourselves out of the
current epidemic. Research shows the best way to address this
challenge is through a strategy that includes prevention, law
enforcement, reduction of overdose deaths, evidence-based
treatment, and support for those in, or seeking, recovery, wrote
the Attorneys General.
Only through a comprehensive approach like the one outlined
in this bill can we reverse current trends. We are grateful for
your leadership and urge all Members of Congress to support

receive them by Nov. 13. Bring them to us at the Nashua Armory

anytime from 2:30 to 7 p.m. on Nov. 12 or 13. The troops have
asked for these items:
White socks;
Power bars;
Ramen noodles - packages, not cups;
Oatmeal - individual packages;
Hot cocoa - individual packages;
Tuna pouches; and
Nuts/trail mix - individual sizes or smaller package.
If You Want to Write Cards And Letters to the Troops:
If you would simply like to write cards or letters to the troops, you
should know that this is their favorite part of the package. You can
either write your own upbeat and encouraging words or better yet,
gather some friends or family members together and write many
letters. Bring them to us at the Nashua Armory anytime from 2:30 to
7 p.m. on Nov. 12 or 13.
We know this is a tall order - but we have faith in you, as you have
faith in us! And none of us can ever forget the men and women
whose day we make, when they open their Christmas stockings and
think of home.
Merry Christmas and God Bless our soldiers, sailors, airmen, and

it slows breathing. Next, Rich explained that Narcan is an opioid
antagonist, which reverses the effects of opioids. However, he
stressed that Narcans effects last for a shorter amount of time than
the effects of heroin. With the heroin on the street now stronger
than ever, due to other opioids like fentanyl being cut into the
heroin, it is taking smaller amounts of heroin to cause an overdose.
Rich said that medical attention is

Senate Panel Approves Legislation to Address

Newborn Opioid Dependency
submitted by the Office of U.S. Senator Kelly Ayotte
The Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee
voted unanimously on Wednesday, Sept. 30, to approve the
Protecting Our Infants Act of 2015, legislation that U.S. Senator
Kelly Ayotte is cosponsoring to address the increasing number
of newborns born with opioid dependency. The House of
Representatives previously passed companion legislation, and the
bill now awaits consideration by the full Senate.
As a co-sponsor of this bill, I welcome the committees approval
of this legislation, which is an important step toward addressing
an urgent and especially tragic aspect of New Hampshires heroin
epidemic. By supporting state, local and federal partnerships and
working to address current gaps in research and treatment, this bill
will give us the necessary tools to combat the growing problem of
neonatal abstinence syndrome. I urge my colleagues to approve
this bipartisan measure without delay so we can better protect both
pregnant mothers with opioid use disorders and their newborns.
The Senate version of the Protecting our Infants Act of 2015 was
introduced by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and

Senator Robert Casey (D-PA). The bill would direct the Department
of Health and Human Services (HHS) to develop a comprehensive
plan that helps address the increasingly high number of infants
exposed to opioids while in the womb, resulting in dependency and
withdrawal.
Across the nation, the number of infants diagnosed with newborn
withdrawal has increased by 300 percent since 2000. Researchers
also estimate that every hour more than one dependent infant
suffering from withdrawal is born. In May, Senator Ayotte led a
discussion at the Catholic Medical Center (CMC) in Manchester
to hear from medical personnel and first responders who treat
and respond to cases of newborn withdrawal. CMC officials
reported that 7 percent of newborn babies were born with
neonatal abstinence syndrome, a 4 percent increase from last year.
According to officials at CMCs Pregnancy Care Center, close to
half of the mothers cared for are struggling with a substance use
disorder.

Reading, Talking or Singing
Helping Your Child

submitted by Bryan Lane, Superintendent
of Hudson Schools
There are many times that school district employees
are asked by parents, What can I do to help my child?
As I reflect on this question, my response to any parent
would be that you as a parent are the childs first and
most important teacher. Just as the work the school
district does in the early grades supports the students
ability to be successful later on, the interactions you have
with your children from the time they are born support
their future learning. There is a great deal of research
on this. One thing that parents can do is to talk to their
children. Successful students will hear between 40
million and 50 million words by the time they reach first
grade. There are about 1 million words in the English
language so our kids are destined to hear the same words
over many times.
The way to work with your children to hear these
words is to speak with them, read with them or sing
with them. An important concept here is that you are
interacting with the child and that they can interact
with you. The words can come from any person who
is willing to spend the time with a child. Parents,
grandparents, aunts, uncles, family friends and older
siblings can all be part of the process. When the child
can associate the things they see with the words they

hear and then they can become part of the conversation.

That is when the fun really begins! One thing that the
research emphasizes is that these 40 to 50 million words
are not effective if they come from a media source. That
would mean that television, videos, and computer games
(no matter how educational) are not going to be the
answer. Interaction with the child from a caring person
is what makes the difference.
The best thing about this is that it is free! The only
thing it costs the person talking to the child is
time.
If you want to find books for your children
so you can read to them, our public library
has many childrens books. This level of
interaction can transfer beyond the age of 5
in that you can develop habits and traditions
around communication that can carry on
throughout your familys lives. So, turn off
the TV, put down the video game, silence
the cell phone, turn off the movie in your car
and talk to your children. Make it a tradition;
make it something the kids look forward to,
make it something that will create a life-long
difference for you and your child. It will be
rewarding for them and for you.

During the day, the baby

School Board Wrestles with

Athletic Policy Regarding
Suspension Criteria
by Doug Robinson
District Athletic Director Karen Bonney
prepared a document for the Hudson School
Board that listed the athletic suspension of Alvirne
High School athletes for violating the drug,
alcohol, and tobacco policies of the school.
At the request of the School Board Chairman, I
asked our Athletic Director to compile information
regarding athletic suspensions since 2011, wrote
Superintendent Bryan Lane to the Hudson School
Board.
The report listed 29 suspensions for reasons of
smoking marijuana, to consuming alcohol at
a party, to under the influence at school event,
and trespassing,
A suspension for the use of a vapor cigarette
and smoking cigarette was also listed.
The length of game suspensions ranged from
a minimum of 1.25 games to a maximum of 4.5
games.
School board members had varied opinions
with the punishment given to those who selfreported as to those who did not self-report.
Only four students of the 29 students listed
were recorded as self-report.
Bonney stated that the school practices the
discipline principles of Life of an Athlete.
As stated by the NHIAA (New Hampshire
Interscholastic Athletic Association), New
Hampshire Life of an Athlete is being
implemented through the NHIAA with support
from the 10 Bureau of Drug and Alcohol Services
Regional Networks. NH Life of an Athlete is
an adaptation of the Life of an Athlete program
that will foster the partnership among NH

Interscholastic Athletic Association, schools,
administrators, coaches, Regional Networks, and
youth in a targeted effort directed at substance
abuse prevention.
All athletes and their parents were advised to
the school suspension policies in a preseason
meeting commented Bonney.
School Board Chairman Mike Truesdell said
that he was having a problem with the concept
of self-reporting. He went on to say that selfreporting was a way for the student to cover
myself and self-report to get my sentence
reduced.
While Bonney discussed the need for students
to own their bad decisions she also stated that
some kids get caught and do not report. Kids
need to own their behavior, (and) acknowledge
they made a mistake and go through the process.
The chairman continued to state that the policy
had loopholes and that kids were using the
policy just to cover themselves, knowing they
would get a reduced sentence.
Bonney stated that the sentences are reduced
for those who self-report.
At the request of the superintendent, the
suspension policy was sent back for review at the
next policy board meeting and then would return
to the school board for final approval.
The next policy committee meeting will be Oct.
13, at 1:15 p.m. in the Randy Bell Conference
Room at the SAU. The meeting is open to the
public.
And the Answer is ...

The Area News Group
has received several
responses identifying the
What is It? tool pictured
in the Sept. 25 and Oct.
2 editions of the HLN. In
our readers own words
they correctly identified
the mystery tool.
The tool is a model
267D or 267E machinists
speed indicator. When
the tip of the tool is
pressed against the center
of a rotating shaft, it counts the number of
revolutions. When used in conjunction with a
stopwatch, the tool can be used to determine
the shafts rotational speed in revolutions per
minute. Several versions of this type of tool can
be seen here: https://www.vintagetools.net/
category/speed-indicators. Chris Bulmer
This is a speed tack used to check the speed
of a turning shaft. Tom from Litchfield
The tool in the picture is a tachometer for
measuring spindle RPM. I had one of these
tools many years ago. Years ago in machine
shops, we had to change belts and pulleys
to get the correct RPMs for the steel that we
were machining. They were also used in other
manufacturing applications. Keep the tool
photos coming, I enjoy them. Wayne Burgett,
Hudson
Saw a picture of a tool that you are trying
to identify. Its an old speed-indicator. Its like
a modern day tachometer, except you need to

use a stop watch at the same time. The tip can
be placed on the center of a spinning wheel/
axle, and the number of dial-spins in a minute
(100 revolutions of the tip make one revolution
of the dial) can get you the angular velocity of
the rotating object. The bump on the zero so
you can use a finger to count the dial spins. Im
not sure about the specific manufacturer of the
photo, but a description of a similar one is here:
http://s132.photobucket.com/user/revgo1898/
media/speedindicator001.jpg.html. Neil
It looks like a revolution counter for a
rotating shaft or gear. Bill Abbott
It tests the RPM of rotating shafts or engines
according to my father, Dan Farland. He has
one in his garage. Dianne Vermette
I think it is a device used to wind coils. You
select the number of desired turns and twist the
handle that then wraps the wires. Brian McCue

Four Simple Ways to Winterize Your Home
Page 10
October 9
As winter approaches, homeowners know

they must do certain things to ready their
homes for the coming months. Wrapping up
the grill and closing the pool are no-brainers, but homeowners also must prioritize
winterizing their homes to ensure homes
withstand the winter.
Winterizing tasks range from small to big,
but each can protect a home and its inhabitants and some can even save homeowners a
substantial amount of money. The following are four simple ways to winterize your
home.
season for fireside chats approaches, have

your chimney serviced by a professional so
its ready for use and you are not greeted
by some unwanted guests upon lighting
your first fire.
3. Clear the yard
Autumn days, particularly late autumn
days, can be gusty, and strong winds can
cause branches to fall off trees. Branches
big and small can cause damage to cars,
siding and roofs, and smaller branches
can get clogged in gutters, potentially
causing gutters to back up and leading to
leaky roofs that damage a homes interior.
Take a walk around your property at least
once per week during the fall, clearing any
fallen limbs and trimming branches that
appear one strong gust away from falling
off of trees. Remove any branches that are
hanging over your home and driveway so
they dont pose a threat to your house or
vehicles.
1. Plug leaks
Leaky windows and doorways can cost
homeowners money year-round, allowing cold air to escape on hot summer
afternoons and letting cold air in on
brisk winter nights. When such
leaks arent fixed, homeowners
are more liable to turn up their
air conditioners or heaters, unnecessarily padding their energy

Maximize Fall and Winter Energy Savings with Simple Tips

By Scott McGillivray
As temperatures decrease during the fall and winter months, energy usage
and costs tend to climb. These five energy-saving tips for your home will
ensure the comfort of your family and your wallet.
1. Adjust your thermostat. Lower the heat on
your thermostat while
you are away from
home and before
you go to bed.
Better yet,
invest in a
pro-
grammable thermostat so you

dont have to give it a second
thought.
2. Seal gaps around windows
and doors. Cracks and gaps
around windows and doors can
let cold drafts into your home.
Weather-stripping or caulking
will seal these problem areas
and keep your home warmer,
without having to turn up the
heat.
3. Insulate well to protect your home from the
cold. Add insulation to your basement walls,
headers or attic to make a noticeable difference
in the temperature of your home and its energy
consumption. A mineral wool product specifically designed for thermal performance, such
as Roxul Comfortbatt, is ideal. This type of batt
insulation will also provide protection from
fire, moisture and unwanted noise. Adding
insulation is one of the simplest and mostcost effective ways to increase home
energy efficiency.
4. Make use of natural sources of heat.
Pull back your curtains to let natural light
in. The sun can help to warm a room
with its rays on a bright fall or winter day.
If there are any large windows in your
home that dont
receive much sunlight, keep the curtains
closed to form a barrier from the cold.
5. Use ceiling fans to your advantage. In the winter, set the fan to rotate clockwise. The blades will pull the air up and around, redirecting warm air that rises
back down into the living space. The effect can help you lower your thermostat by
two degrees in the winter. While cutting back on energy may seem more challenging as the weather gets colder, it doesnt have to be. There are many no- or lowcost methods to conserve energy that can provide consistent savings over time.

Various Ways you Can Put Pumpkins to Use

ies and shakes. A bit of spiced pure may appear
as flavoring in teas and coffees.
Roasted pumpkin seeds make a healthy treat.
Foodies suggest using the seeds from sugar
pumpkins or the ones best for making pies. Boil
the seeds for a few minutes before draining. Spray
a baking sheet with non-stick spray and put the
seeds in a single layer. Bake at 400 F for 20 minutes. Allow to cool and serve.
Pumpkin wines and beers are popular
as well. There are many recipes for developing sweet, fermented beverages,
which tend to be especially popular in
the fall.
The guts of the pumpkin can be
simmered along with aromatics and
other vegetables to create a vegetable
stock perfect for soups and broths.
Pumpkins can be used as more than just tasty pie fillings.

Few items signal the fall harvest season more
than the bright, orange pumpkins that dot fields
and liven up displays outside of homes and businesses. Come fall, many pumpkins are turned into
grinning jack-o-lanterns just in time for Halloween.
But there are many other uses for pumpkins as well.
Pumpkins are believed to have originated in
North America. Early Native Americans relied on
pumpkins as a source of food that helped them
survive long winters. Pumpkins could be roasted,
baked, boiled, and dried, and they were eaten and
used as medicine. Pumpkin blossoms were added
to stews. The shells of the pumpkins could be dried
and used as eating and storage vessels.
While pumpkins may now be symbolic of Halloween, the following are a handful of additional
ways this versatile fruit can be put to use.
Decorations
Pumpkins can also add to
ones home dcor during the
fall. Pumpkins can be carved for
Halloween displays, hollowedout to hold tealights or simply
left on tables and used as
centerpieces. Larger pumpkins may be used as natural
flower pots for mums or other
seasonal floral displays. As the
Native Americans once did,
pumpkins can be hollowedout and used as bowls to serve
favorite soups and dips.
Use a hollowed, small
pumpkin as a natural aromatic
candle holder. Cut holes in
the sides to vent the exhaust. Rub
aromatic spices, such as cloves,
nutmeg, allspice, cinnamon, and
vanilla bean, on the inside of the
pumpkin. Insert a beeswax candle
in the bottom of the pumpkin and
let it send inviting aromas into the
air.
Pumpkins are a versatile fruit
that can serve many purposes beyond just jack-o-lanterns and pies.

particles from a home. High-efficiency particulate
air filters, known as HEPA filters, are extremely
effective at removing airborne particulates from the
air inside your home.
Pay attention to pets. Like their owners, pets
tend to spend more time indoors during the winter.
That means more fur and pet dander, the skin flakes
in an animals fur or hair that can trigger allergic
reactions, is likely in your home during the winter
than in the summer. To combat this, bathe your pets
regularly in the winter, making sure to wash the
animals bedding in hot water on a weekly basis as
well.
Open the windows when possible. Winter
does not typically provide many opportunities to
open the windows, but you might get a few chances to let some fresh air in through the windows
during winter. Make the most of these opportunities, and when possible crack the windows when
youre cleaning so dust and other particles that kick
up have a path outside of your home.
Clean interior air should be a year-round priority,
but homeowners may have to go the extra mile to
keep their homes interior air clean when winter
arrives.

Thumbs down all the way around to the
folks complaining about the noise from the
Londonderry Fish & Game. My question to you
is why arent you complaining about the blasting
coming from Litchfield Sand and Gravel? Their
door rattling blasting has become more frequent
as of late. Arent your dogs cowering in the
basement because of that?
Thumbs down to the person
who stole my sons wallet at
Alvirne High School. He works
hard for his money after school
and weekends. What a coward
to have to seek around and steal
from people. You know what
they say about payback. You
will get yours.
Thumbs down to leaders.
Do you ever wonder if they
actually hear what they are
saying?
Bigger thumbs down to school officials for not

addressing it. I am still befuddled by brake
failure causing an accident during the first week
of school, did anyone pull service records from
the company? Are these busses not serviced
during the summer? If so how could brakes fail
during the first week of use? Maybe speed was
more of an issue than was related to the public.

at the turn on Eayers Pond Road. There is no need
to monopolize the other side of the street for your

It is also unnecessary for your husband to stare

Clean it up.
Thumbs down to the teachers at LMS. You are
not preparing Litchfields kids to be responsible/
productive citizens. You preach common core
and college and career ready, but homework is
no longer counted and students are given retake
after retake. You are not a high school.
Thumbs down to the Litchfield School Board
for not asking for parent input before approving
changes to LMS grading policies.
Thumbs down to all of this noise about noise.
Litchfield and Hudson residents complaining
about fireworks and gun clubs! I wonder if you
complain to the airport too. Those planes are
pretty loud, what about plow trucks in winter
do you complain about those, landscapers and
blowers and lawnmowers? I wonder if you are
just grumpy freedom hating anti-gun people. As
much as you feel the club should have bought

that we sit idly by and watch the candle vigils,

Thumbs up to the upperclassmen of the
Alvirne football team! I so disagree with last
weeks thumbs down. The three captains along
with the other seniors and juniors have been
very supportive and positive to my sophomore
son. They have been good role models and have
helped to motivate and inspire my son to work
hard! In addition, my interactions with the kids
on the team as a parent have been very positive.
These boys are very polite and appreciative.
Thumbs up to the residents of Litchfield who
are against the noise created by gunfire in our
town. Why not propose and get passed a town
ordinance/law that any and all guns fired in
Litchfield must be fitted with noise suppressors or
silencers with no exceptions for private citizens,

gun clubs, hunters or anyone firing guns at any
time.
Thumbs up to Frank at Litchfield School

all you do working within a budget, keeping our
schools safe and holding school district employees

work.

Thumbs up. Thumbs raised high for a
complete change in our corrupt two party political
system that produces misery, sorrow, and sadness
for everyone; outside of it. Would you throw
a party and invite only two guests? Of course
not, those two guests would take everything for
themselves and leave you with nothing. Aint that
we got now? So why have a two

lived within ear shot of the gun range before the
gun range existed, then you have every right to
complain. If you moved close to the gun range,
after the creation of the gun club and range,
knowing full well gun ranges typically come with
the sound of gun shots, then your choices include
listening to those sounds or pack up and move
somewhere else.

Lawn Party
Held for
Carly Fiorina
by Lynne Ober
On Saturday, Bob and Priscilla Clegg
of Hudson opened their beautiful gardens
to a lawn party for Carly Fiorina, one of
the Republican candidates for president.
With 150 people in attendance, Fiorina
stood on the upper stairs in the garden and
spoke. She fielded a variety of questions
that ranged from NSA (National Security
Agency) to the space program (NASA). The
education she received at MIT Sloan School
of Management as well as her many years of
serving in a variety of government positions
and working in business showed in her
thoughtful, common sense approach.

Bill to Help Veterans who have Committed Non-Violent Crimes

submitted by the Office of Senator
Jeanne Shaheen
On Oct. 1, Senator Jeanne Shaheen
(D-NH) introduced legislation to bolster
efforts to provide treatment to veterans
in the criminal justice system as an
alternative to incarceration, particularly
for those struggling with mental health
and substance abuse. The Veterans
Justice Outreach Act would empower the
Department of Veterans Affairs to work
within the criminal justice system to train
law enforcement, courts, attorneys, and
legal assistance organizations in order to
divert veterans into treatment programs
and identify common challenges to
reintegrating veterans into society.
Theres a growing consensus that
prison sentences are not the answer for
many veterans who are in the criminal
justice system, particularly those suffering
from post-traumatic stress or substance
abuse. said Shaheen. Communities in
New Hampshire and around the country
are responding to this challenge, and we
can do a much better job at the federal
level supporting those efforts. We need

to focus on identifying veterans early-on
who are eligible and would benefit from
treatment so that they
can get back on their
feet. This legislation
provides a helping hand
and a second chance for
struggling veterans.
According to the
U.S. Department of
Justice, 9.3 percent of
the nations incarcerated
population are veterans,
70 percent of them for
non-violent offenses.
Senator Shaheens
legislation formally
authorizes the VAs
Veterans Justice
Outreach program
to help judges and
prosecutors determine
eligibility for VA
benefits and enroll
veterans in treatment
Caregivers Needed:
Exp. caring for the elderly preferred. Various shifts,

programs. Providing an alternative path

to rehabilitation can often help veterans
prevent the development of more serious
issues, including further interactions

with law enforcement or homelessness.

The Hudson-Litchfield third-grade Bears withstood a
challenge from a very tough Windham team on Sunday
morning at Windham High School, but broke things open
in the second half to win 26-13 and extend their perfect
record to 6-0.
An early score put the Bears up 7-0, but the defenses
were in control for a while after that. Late in the first
half, Windham put together a long drive using a powerful
outside running game, and with 20 seconds to go in the
first half they had the ball on the 1-yard-line on 4th-andgoal. However, the attempt to run the ball up the middle
for a touchdown was stonewalled by the human wrecking
crew of an interior defensive line that is Nick Big Red
Hershberger and Andrew Dice Deely.
The goal-line stand changed the momentum of the game
going into halftime, and, in the third quarter, the stellar
offensive line and Camren Flash Dillons personal snow
plow Charlie Chaz Crawford opened up big lanes for
the speedy back to score two more quick TDs. Windham finally got
on the board on a long kickoff return, but Dillon snatched the game
away with another TD run early in the 4th quarter. Shawn Boogie
Boudreau had some tough running to move the chains and kill the
clock late, and Windham added another meaningless TD late in the
fourth quarter.
The defense was great again, with the tough outside running game
of Windham contained by the cornerbacks and often cleaned up by
middle linebacker Gabe C-Bass Conrow. Dante Trombley, Shane
Mack Mackey, and Zach Big Z Carter were also in on numerous
tackles.
Jack-of-all-trades Assistant Coach Mark Emanuel said, Normally
we build up such a big lead that I can relax and take a nap during
the second half. But Windham was really tough and our boys had to
really dig deep for this one.
Head Coach Jeff Conrow said, This week we played a good

The Bishop Guertin Cardinals
raced out to a 36-0 halftime lead and
never looked back dealing the Alvirne
Broncos a 43-0 loss on a rainy Friday
evening.
Bishop Guertin senior Jordan
Hiscoe played only the first half yet
managed to complete 14 of 19 passes
for 241 yards and two touchdown
passes. Hiscoe also ran for a
touchdown. He was complemented
on the ground by halfback Jackson
Houseman, who also played only
the first half. Houseman carried the
ball 15 times for 113 yards and three
touchdowns.
The Cardinal offense was able to
overcome 21 accepted penalties
totaling 175 yards in the game. With
the exception of penalties, Bishop
Guertin had no problem moving the
ball in the first half, piling up 440
yards against the Broncos. Hiscoe
completed passes to six different
players, including two touchdown
passes to Sarveen Sharfian-Raad.
With the increase in concussions
over the past several seasons NHIAA
officials are paying much closer
attention to penalties, especially
personal fouls and illegal blocks,
away from the ball. The majority of
Cardinal penalties were major fouls.
This game saw a significant increase
in penalties. Both sides combined for
35 penalties called, 31 of which were
accepted.
Over the last 15 years Bishop
Guertin has had Alvirnes number.
The Cardinals are 13-0 against the
Broncos and have outscored them
444-90 over that span of time. With
Bishop Guertin up 30-0 and Alvirne
without a first down in the first half,

Cardinal Coach Jeff Moore wasnt
about to take any chances. With time
running out in the first half Moore
opted to run a trick play, having one
receiver lateral to another to score
their sixth touchdown of the half as
time expired.
Alvirne had particularly difficult
time moving the ball on offense.
Leading the Broncos offensively was
Brad Kamal who garnered just 33
yards on 14 carries. The remainder of
the team combined for just 36 rushing
yards. No Bronco passes were
completed.
BG was just so much faster and
quicker than we were; I knew this
would be a tough game for us. As has
been the case in earlier games this
season we thought wed have a slight
edge with the offensive and defensive
line play. We were wrong about that,
said Alvirne Coach Tim Walsh after
the game.

underclassmen not to let the BG game
get them down and to put forth their

Alvirne Lady Broncos Drop One vs. Exeter, Rebound against Londonderry

submitted by Frank Rosier

Lady Broncos Soccer lost a tough one to the Exeter Blue Hawks,
2-1, at home on Thursday. The game was a hard-fought one and
was played in the midfield for most of the first half. There were few
chances for either team, and any Exeter runs were run off by the
Alvirne back line.
The second half was much more eventful. The Lady Broncos
scored first to the delight of the home crowd as Tana Tufts slid a pass
to Kayla at the top of the box and she found the upper far corner.
Exeter then got a ball of their own at the top of the box and sent it
to the far upper corner to knot the game at one. With the game tied
Alvirne poured on the pressure but could not break through for the
go-ahead goal. Exeter broke the pressure and found the back of the

loss. Keeper Sammi Giannelli had nine saves in the loss.

After the tough loss to Exeter, the Lady Broncos looked to rebound
against the second-place Londonderry Lancers on the road. The
Broncos were on a mission from the start and controlled the play in
the first half. Londonderry finally organized and put some pressure
on the Alvirne defense. Their best chance came on a nice pass into
the box. As the Lancer forward eyed the open corner she came up
empty as Erin Rosiers foot shot out of nowhere through a tangle of
feet to knock the ball to safety keeping the game scoreless.
Alvirne had many opportunities but could not break through,
and their best chance of the half came on a skillful move by Kayla
Juliano who beat the defender and hustled to goal. As she entered
the box, she was brought down hard from behind to earn a penalty
shot. She lined up and fired a shot to the left side of the goal, but the
Lancer keeper made a fantastic save to keep the game scoreless. The
half ended

the ball by the
keeper and leaped over her to finish the job when the Londonderry
keeper brought her down for a penalty shot This chance was taken
by Tana Tufts, but, once again, the Londonderry keeper was up to the
task and turned away another golden opportunity.
Finally, in the second minute of overtime, Olivia Beverlie struck a
pass to Danielle Ross who turned and lifted a long arcing shot that
got over the tough Lancer keeper for the game winner. Erin Ruigrok,
Tana Tufts and Kayla Juliano played extremely well in the midfield
and Rosier anchored the stellar defense of Lexi Prescott, Olivia
Bertrand and Jamie Calvagna to record the Broncos fifth shutout
of the season. After the 1-0 Londonderry victory, the Lady Broncos
returned home to face Merrimack on Wednesday, Oct. 7.

Whats the first step in sound proofing your home? Finding which
rooms have the least amount of sound resistance.
To do this, make sure everyone is out of the house, unplug all
electronics and close all doors and windows. Take a quick walk
through your house and pause for a few moments in each room
to evaluate which ones are the noisiest. Now consider if youre
installing a media room or teenage recreational room where volumes
will be blasting on TVs and stereos.
With this information, you should have a good idea of where you
need to soundproof and create barriers against noise. Heres a great,
green way to start the soundproof process:
Plant trees and hedges along the exterior of your home,

perhaps along a fence. Not only do trees and hedges help with the
environment and provide a good amount of privacy, they also slow
down the travel of noise from the neighborhood into your home.
