Pastor and Mrs. Howe, along with the small parish, began

1963. Work began on the church building and by September the
foundation was completed. On a few subsequent Saturdays, as
many as 29 men from other churches in the district gathered for a
church-raising bee. The first floor was completed followed by
the sidewalls, and then the roof. Within 11 days the building was
made weather tight, all with volunteer labor. Through the winter
months others volunteered services to complete the interior. Sam
Lapan served as head carpenter with Pastor Howe overseeing the
work. The church was completed and dedicated in June 1964.
In the spring of 1965, a seven-room garrison-style house
was built by the membership as a parsonage thus providing

family. Some funding for these buildings came from district and

The Word Around Town...
Urging Support of School Board
Budget and Teachers Contract
My name is Jill Pennington, and its been a joy and a
privilege to teach at Campbell High School for the past 12
years. Ive come to know so many of you over the years at
school and community events, and Im proud to say that I work
in a community full of generous and civic-minded residents
who value that which is unique about Litchfield, and who work
hard to maintain and expand opportunities within this town.
Similarly, Im so thankful to work with a truly remarkable group
of professional educators whose content skills and knowledge
are matched by their genuine love of the students here in
Litchfield.
In my opinion, one of the greatest ways you can support
the ongoing prosperity and success of this town is to support
its schoolchildren and the educators who work with them on a
daily basis. On Tuesday, March 14, I urge you to come out and
vote to keep Litchfield kids first by supporting both the school
operating budget and Warrant Article 2, the proposed teachers
contract.
Thanks to the diligent work of both the School Board and
Budget Committee, the proposed school operating budget
maintains vital educational programs while still respecting the
fiscally conservative and responsible ideals of town taxpayers.
Warrant Article 2 is a proposed contract that will allow
teacher salaries to stay competitive with those in comparable
communities nearby, while significant health insurance
concessions on the part of the Litchfield Education Association
will keep the bottom line reasonable.
If youd like to learn more about these proposals or any other
warrant articles connected with Litchfield School District, I
urge you to check out the school district website which has
specific details that can help you to make a very informed
decision at the ballot booth on Tuesday, March 14.
Jill Pennington, CHS Teacher of the Year 2016, NH
Teacher of the Year Finalist 2017
Vote No on Litchfield Article 15
I am writing to ask my fellow citizens of Litchfield to (for
2017 anyway) vote no on Article 15 relating to adopting a
tax cap.
Many of you know that I have been consistently opposed
to a tax cap with our form of government. Having served for
several years on the Budget Committee, I became aware that
the way this article is written, it will render the actions of that
committee virtually moot.
Unlike cities, towns such as Litchfield enjoy the most direct
and purest form of democracy authorized by our constitution.
Citizens directly elect their local ocials and hold them
accountable for their actions both at Deliberative Session and
on Town Meeting (voting) day. Adding a tax cap restriction is
both unnecessary and regressive. The way this one is worded
will not allow the Budget Committee to recommend any
amount over the cap, even though they may agree with the
expenditure. Many projects such as recreation improvements,
road projects, public safety improvements, etc. will be sacrificed
because of the restriction.
I would oer that a tax cap is not a panacea. Manchester had
its bond rating downgraded by Moodys because they instituted
it. Also, they have overridden their tax cap several times over
the last few years.
The tax cap proposed for Litchfield restricts an increase
in expenditures to $175,000 for the total budget, including
warrants. It was not intended to be that restrictive, only to
cover the towns Operating Budget. Our representatives have
indicated that they will work to adjust the state laws regarding
the wording of tax caps. If that occurs, it could certainly oer
the opportunity to revisit the proposal and put it before the
voters.
At least for this year, please vote no until appropriate
wording can be allowed from the NH Legislature.
Brent Lemire, Litchfield
Vote Yes on Hudson School
Warrant Article 3
We are asking for your support of the Hudson Leadership
Team contract (School Warrant Article 3). This is a contract
that was negotiated between the Leadership Team (Principals,
Assistant Principals, Department Heads, School Counselors,
Library Media Specialists) and the School Board. It is fair to
both sides and brings equity and stability to both the district
and the employees. Please show your support for the dedicated
school leaders who work hard for your students by voting yes
on School Warrant Article 3.

Time to Get out and Vote for Stacy
It is time again for everyone to get out and vote. It is so
important to know who you are voting for since they help to
make our schools and town great. I am asking that you vote for
Stacy Milbouer for school board. I have worked alongside Stacy
for the past three years on the school board. Stacy has headed
up the search committee for the new superintendent and is
also the chair of the policy committee which is the biggest
responsibility we have as a school board member. She also took
it upon herself to see a need for a communication committee
which she not only chaired but started. I have seen her be an
advocate for the teachers when it came to teacher contracts.
While still being mindful of the tax payers. Stacy is always

Budget Committee Chair Says
Vote No on Tax Cap Article 15
Why is the Chair of the Budget Committee asking you to
vote no on the tax cap article?
Changes in 2014 to NH RSA 32:5-b allowed towns to enact
local tax caps. Last year a tax cap was proposed. There was
a lot of confusion around what was included in the tax cap
calculations and how it would be applied. A required step in
the approval process was missed so last years vote was declared
invalid even though it passed 807 to 297.
The problem with jumping onboard with new untested
laws is that they can have unintended consequences. The tax
cap includes the base budget plus all warrant articles. This
was not clear last year; it was thought that it did not to apply
to individual warrant articles. As it stands now, the Budget
Committee will never be able to recommend most major
infrastructure proposals for the town from a fire station to fire
trucks to major road repairs or any other justified large expense.
This fall when the Budget Committee received the Town
budget, they chose to abide by the tax cap and the decision
of the voters. The committee spent six weeks reviewing
expenditures line by line and the justification for each requested
expense. At the end of this long process, after numerous
reductions and much debate, we were still significantly over
the tax cap amount. How could that be? When looking back
at the history of past budgets since 2010, even years where a
default budget passed, all but one year would have also been
significantly over a tax cap. Yes, even with default budgets it
would not have met the tax cap.
The tax cap only applies to the budget committee. The
selectmen are free to propose any amount of budget over the
tax cap. In theory, voters are free to approve any amount
over the tax cap, but the budget that is voted on is the Budget
Committees number. In order to meet the tax cap, the budget and more, I wanted nothing else than to be in the firehouse,
committee could not approve several warrant articles that they
felt made good financial sense only because they did not meet
an arbitrary tax cap number. Since the budget committee cant
legally support them how are the voters to know which ones
they are?
You elect a budget committee to make sure every dollar is
justified and to recommend a budget that will meet the needs
of the town and taxpayers. The tax cap as it is now prevents
the committee from providing voters with the information they
need to make an informed decision. The law needs to be fixed
so that the local budget committee can continue to analyze and
make appropriate recommendations on expenditures.
Please vote No on the Tax Cap Article 15 so that your
Budget Committee can continue to inform voters with warrant
article recommendations that mean something. Thank you.

Every Child can be an A+ Student
with the Right Attitude and Tools
Memorization and the right attitude will help you increase
your test scores.
I honestly didnt realize this until I was trying to pass the
CPA exam. One review course taught students to learn and
memorize enough information to score the minimum, a 75.
I prepared for the exam, trying to pick up areas I knew cold,
hoping they would be on the test. The magic combination
didnt occur! I scored in the 60s.
The final review course taught students to go for 105 percent!
They spent time teaching cool games and other techniques to
form a solid memory so that we could recall the information
with ease! Striving for 105 percent, I was now ready for any
combination and I scored in the 90s!
During this final CPA exam review course, I realized how
much I actually missed in my previous years of education. Had
I learned not to settle for less that 105 percent early in my
education, I could have performed far greater in high school
and college and pass the CPA exam with much greater ease?
How many students are going through this and are being
tested for the first time when the test counts for a grade?
There are many tools available to help. Flashcards are used at
an early age for spelling, vocabulary and multiplication tables.
When material gets more dicult, you have to break it down
into smaller parts and use things like mnemonics and interactive
databases to form the information properly into your mind.
Interactive databases like Quizlet can help. You can test your
knowledge before the big test that counts! Many teachers have
their own methods to assist students that are ready, willing and
knowledgeable that they can increase their test scores/grades.
Hudson uses a portal system that shows the detail to a
students grade! It lists grades on homework, quizzes and tests.
You can catch a poor grade before it is too late. Tests can often
be retaken to improve a grade!
I have assisted my seventh grade son, in bringing up his
grades to high honors by assisting him with memorization skills
and promote an attitude of striving for 105 percent instead of
settling for average!
People are settling blindly for a grade without realizing
they are in control of their grades! Many dont understand the
importance of education for a future career that will sustain
them in adulthood!
You cannot score above average if your goal is average! You
can not apply what you dont remember! You cannot remember
what you never learned! Hudson_liberty@yahoo.com.

Voting Yes on
Hudson Article 19
I am writing in support of Article 19
on the Hudson Town Warrant. While
no one likes to pay fees, few of us should
be in favor of paying for people from
out of town to use Benson Park without
contributing to the costs associated with
maintaining and upgrading the park. I
think that we all know that a very large
number of people from out of town use
the park on a regular basis. Voting in

place; it would only give the Board of Selectmen direction from
the voters. I believe that they would in turn give the charge to
develop a plan to the Benson Park Committee. As a member
of the committee I would not support any fees which did not
include a low seasonal pass for residents. Having a fee schedule
would allow us to charge those who do not pay property taxes
in Hudson to help us support the park. While I understand
that some Hudson residents might not like the idea of paying
twice, I would suggest that having to pay a small annual user fee
is much more fair than the current system of having all Hudson
taxpayers support the park, whether they use it or not, while
allowing people from out of town to get a free pass. I hope you
will join with me and vote yes on article 19.

Captain Dave Morin Changed this
Fire Explorers Life
I am writing to tell you about what David Morin has done
to change my life. He took the time to put me on a path that
I am proud to say I continue down today. I was a young high
schooler when I was first told about the Hudson Fire Explorer
post that gave kids from ages 14-21 an opportunity to get real-
life fire service experience. From a very young age Ive always
known that for me to sit down and be at a desk all day for a
career was just not practical. When I was little I was fascinated
by big trucks, especially fire trucks. This curiosity grew into an
interest for firefighting so I jumped at the opportunity to join
the Hudson Fire Explorers. From my first meeting to my last I
loved every second I had in the fire house with Captain David
Morin, better known as Cap.
After just one meeting with the fire explorers I knew for sure
that this is what I wanted to do for a living. Every meeting or
day spent in the firehouse or training with the guys was always
filled with valuable lessons on the fire service, life, and anything
in general. As I gained more time under my belt on the
explorers I was starting to get the opportunity to go in and ride
with Captain Morin and the members of HFD Group 1 every
so often. My love for the fire service only kept growing more
doing firemen things. Captain Morin could see this and he did
everything he could to support me.
The fire house is a dierent world, its a culture that takes
time and guidance to understand and be a part of. When I
would ride I was the low man on the totem pole. The fire
service has a very strict etiquette, he saw that I had a desire to
do the job and he helped me understand the culture. He took
me under his wing teaching me what the fire service is really
about. As time went on, our bond grew stronger. Capt. Morin
made sure I was always in check with everything from my
schoolwork to my attitude and performance in the firehouse
and with the post. I had my bumps in the road when I was
a cadet. The captain was a great mentor and role model, if
I made a mistake, he would make sure that I wouldnt make
the same mistake again. My high school days were not spent
getting in trouble, causing mayhem like the usual teenager does,
instead I spent almost all of my free time at the station, hanging
with the Cap.
I am sure this was not easy for Cap, but he took the time
to help me fit in with all of the firefighters in Group 1. These
four years gave me the direction and opportunity to move on
to the next level in my fire service career. My friend who was a
past fire explorer in Hudson was enrolled in a Fire Science live
in program through Southern Maine Community College. I
was very excited to learn about the great program that he was
in. The process was made easy by Capt. Morin because he
helped guide me through writing a resume, and making myself
the best candidate possible. I was hired as a live-in firefighter
in Scarborough, Maine. My success is a product of the great
work Capt. Morin did making me not only the fireman, but
the person I am today. I owe more than I could ever repay to
Capt. Morin for the role model that he has been to me. I hope
that taking the time to read this shined a positive light on your
opinion of David.

Beauty and
the Beast and
an Alabama
Drive-In
Theater
Before I start off this week I would just
like to clarify the Muslim ban. That was
just the terminology that mainstream media
was using so I used it. What I should have
said was a temporary travel ban on people
in select Middle Eastern countries. Are we
angry thumbs downers?
Anyways, onto this weeks uplifting topic.
A lot of us are very excited about the new
Beauty and the Beast movie that is coming
out this month. I am personally very excited.
Im a huge fan of when Disney remakes their
animated films into adult ones. I would
be over the moon if they remade Mulan,
The Hunchback of Notre Dame and
Pocahontas.
So, as I was scrolling down Twitter, I
stumbled across an article about how an
Alabama drive-in theater would not play the
new Disney Beauty and the Beast movie
on account of there being a gay character.
All About
ME
I believe that in the article it said that
they couldnt play a movie that they
couldnt watch with the Lord. I believe that
eliminates a lot of movies. So Im not sure
how that particular drive-in is going to stay
in business if they can only show movies
that they think the big guy upstairs would
approve of.
Its 2017. There are going to be gay
people in movies. I dont know what else
to tell you. When you own a business and
discriminate the only one that gets hurt is
your business. You are losing money. Plenty
of other places will happily show the movie.
The only thing that youre proving to the
world is that you are making a poor business
decision.
On the contrary, they do have the right
to not show that movie. Who are we as a
society to dictate what the owner can and
cant play at his drive-in theater? He has
the right not to play it and I have the right to
comment on it how I see fit. It is the beauty
of this country.
The problem is this begins a slippery slope
and leads to a bigger problem. We saw that
companies were refusing to sell gay people
their wedding venues or wedding cakes
because they didnt believe in it. It kind
of reminds me when blacks were refused
service, just saying. What happens if a lot
more business and venues decide its their
right to refuse service to that community?
On top of it being highly insulative it could
make life a little more difficult for the gay
community. People have been using the
Bible for years as an excuse for hate. Why
dont we just love all of Gods creatures and
respect one another. We have been on this
earth for a long time. Lets evolve a little.
The second story to come out of this movie
is Emma Watsons risqu photo. I love Emma
Watson. For those who dont know her, she
played Hermione in the Harry Potter films,
went to Brown University, and is a known
feminist. She is an amazing, intelligent and
classy woman in my opinion.
She took a risqu photo and all of a
sudden she gets ripped to shreds. People
were calling her a hypocrite. Emma Watson,
as brilliant as she is, responded back by
saying, Feminism is about giving women
choice. I think the point is if she wanted
to take that photo a man didnt make her.
A woman should never be forced in the
entertainment industry to take photos or
do scenes that she isnt comfortable with,
but if she wants to its totally fine. All that
matters is that women should have the right
to choose.
Besides, our brains arent the ones that
stop working when a little cleavage is shown.
As always email me your thoughts,
comments, concerns, compliments,
complaints and questions to nicole@
areanewsgroup.com.

Hudson Kiwanis Members Continue Pease Greeters

to Serve in Hudson and Litcheld
The success of Kiwanis in local communities results from the strong and active service of thousands of
Kiwanis club members. In fact, many Kiwanians have been club members for 25 years or more. Kiwanis
of Hudson, N.H., meets the first and third Mondays of the month at 7 p.m. at Kiwanis Hall, Melendy Ice Fishing
Road in Hudson.
Kiwanis is a global organization of volunteers dedicated to improving the world one child and one
Derby
community at a time. The six permanent Objects of Kiwanis International were approved in 1924 and
have remained unchanged for decades.
To give primacy to the human and spiritual rather than to the material values of life.
To encourage the daily living of the Golden Rule in all human relationships.
To promote the adoption and the application of higher social, business, and professional standards.
To develop, by precept and example, a more intelligent, aggressive, and serviceable citizenship.

HUDSON KIWANIS
To provide, through Kiwanis clubs, a practical means to form enduring friendships, to render altruistic
service, and to build better communities.
To cooperate in creating and maintaining that sound public opinion and high idealism which make
possible the increase of righteousness, justice, patriotism, and goodwill.
No two Kiwanis clubs look exactly the same. Each members and communitys needs are different,
and each club looks different. Some clubs are very traditional, with weekly meetings and a strong sense
of history. Other clubs dont meet at all, and instead hold meetings online and only come together for a local organization of volunteers dedicated to
service projects. Newer clubs may follow the 3-2-1 concept: 3 hours of service, 2 hours of social activity serving the world one child and one community at a time.
and a 1 hour meeting each month. Clubs tend to reflect their communities and their members and work
to meet their needs. Flexibility is key to a successful club. Help Us Help Them. Contact 883-0374

members stage nearly 150,000 service projects; devote more than 6 million hours of service; and raise www.hudsonkiwanis.org
nearly $100 million in the U.S. every year for communities, families and projects. Key club members Hudson Kiwanis supports locally:
pitch in 12 million hours of service each year, and CKI members another 500,000 hours of service. Club Alvirne High School Scholarships
members donate another 92,000 hours of service every year. Add it all up, and thats more than 18 Campbell High School Scholarships
million hours of service every year!
The local Hudson Kiwanis club recently celebrated its 40th anniversary. Originally an offshoot of the Kiwanis Pediatric Trauma Institute
Nashua club, there are still some members who came to Hudson from the Nashua club, which joined Hudson Girls Softball Kiwanis Ball Field
forces with Hudson due to an aging membership and low numbers. Meals on Wheels High School Key Clubs
The Hudson club sponsors two high school key clubs with over one hundred students participating.
There are clubs at both Campbell High in Litchfield and Alvirne High in Hudson. Key clubs are the
Blessed John XXIII Food Pantry
high school service club extension of Kiwanis. The kids participate in service and leadership projects Girls Inc. of New Hampshire
throughout the year. Many key clubbers go on to continue volunteerism in college and beyond, giving Alvirne Sports & Academic Clubs
back to their communities and the children locally. and many more....
Its great to see the enthusiasm and interest at the high school level, explained Key Club Coordinator
Mike Hardy. Kiwanis will be awarding $10,000 in Alvirne High School, and $5,000 to Campbell High
students.
Kiwanis has been offering scholarships for many years, and recently hit the $15,000 per year total in
annual awards.
We focus on students who show that they like to volunteer in the community, said club President Bob
Guessferd. Its nice to recognize students efforts volunteering in the community. We hope that spirit
stays with them through college, and when they come back and join the work force here in Hudson.
Kiwanis is always looking for people who want to help with community projects, organize events and
local fundraisers, or who just want to meet some new, like-minded friends.
Hudson Kiwanis meets at 14 Melendy Rd. (Hudson Bingo Hall) in Hudson on the first and third
Monday of each month. The Hudson club is looking to partner with folks who have a heart for helping
out in Hudson and the surrounding communities.

you two. You want to change
the process to elect a president! You want to do
away with the Electoral College. By doing so, you
would then null and void any votes that are cast
in New Hampshire for president. If the process
changes, New York and California would be
electing the president simply because of the large
voter population. You both stood by and cast your
electoral vote for Hillary Dillary ... guess what?
She lost! Get over yourself and start acting in the

by Len Lathrop
While there were a few days that felt like spring last week, this past
Saturday it was pretty cold and basketball playoffs were still in progress and
the college March Madness had not started.
But it was softball at the Hudson Memorial, two gyms full, an all-star
clinic and best of all it was for a very good cause. This clinic was to support
Russ Saucier, who is fighting stage 4 esophageal cancer. As Keith Bowen, a
Northeast Heat coach and the principal of Hudson Memorial, mentioned,
softball at this level is a real commitment from April to August. You are
together playing different teams, but everyone knows everyone else and,
Russ Saucier is respected throughout the softball system.
Russ Saucier grew up in Nashua. He excelled in sports. Playing for the
Nashua Little League you could find him playing second base or pitching.
from the community came out to support him. This past Sundays softball
clinic is just another example as instructors from multiple organizations
volunteered to help with the cause. Coaches from neighboring softball
programs were quick to lend a hand and spread word within their own
programs for their girls to attend this valuable clinic.
The premier softball instructors who were on hand Saturday were
Mike Soby, director and coach of Northeast Heat and head coach at
Campbell High School; Sarah Brisk, head coach at Alvirne High School
and former UMass-Lowell standout pitcher; Matt Tupman, head coach
of the 16U Concord Lady Cannons, former UMass-Lowell standout and
played professionally as a catcher for the Kansas City Royals and Arizona
Diamondbacks; Joe Kennard, head coach of the PLEX 14U Red in Bedford;
Mark Grams, former UMass-Lowell standout and highly regarded hitting

Sometimes you could encounter him on the mound pitching to his brother,
Norm, who was a catcher. Later on, Russ moved to Hudson, and it seems
he has been coaching baseball and softball for as long as he can remember.
He started coaching his children when they were young. His son, Zachary,
was a standout pitcher for Campbell High School in 2010 and his daughter,
Alexis, was a travel softball pitcher. As his children got older, Russ love for
coaching never faded. He coached at Pembroke Academy and the Concord
Lady Cannons. He is the director of the Lady Cannons softball program.
Last summer his 16U team won multiple tournament championships.
Hes the kind of coach that all of the players love to play for. And across
the softball community, he is well known and respected. Look no farther
than a fundraiser held in February in Pembroke where hundreds of people

Chip Brisk, assistant coach at Alvirne High School; Dave Yates, head coach
at Hudson Memorial School; Jimmy Cestrone, head coach of the Northeast
Heat 12U Blue; and Glen Bradish, assistant coach of the Northeast Heat
12U Blue.
The high school players helping out were Sara Siteman, Nicole Teague,
Jenna Bradish, Farrah Cestrone, Liz DeRosa, Haley Peaslee, Jamie Kennedy,
Kelli Kennedy, Dakota Bilodeau and others.
The clinic consisted of a couple of hours of defensive skills, pitching, Delaney Power works on arm movement under the

High school basketball doesnt, well, at least

best of three or best of five, it is one and done.
The Cougars boys finished their regular season
contests with a record of 13-5 which placed
them as the number 8 seed in NHIAA Division
3. Mascenic had the same record, but, due to the
factor that on Feb. 10 Campbell beat them 74-64,
the game was played in the Cougar Den. Both
teams played hard but the Litchfield kids finished

with 14 in the first quarter. Matt Gagne had 12 in
all from outside the circle. Two Cougars threw in
eight each, Sean French and Spencer Stanium.
But then the other shoe dropped as Campbell
had to play #1-seeded Kearsarge (16-2), and
the game was on Kearsarges court. In January,
Kearsarge was successful against the Cougars 76-
