The Latest Looks for Spring and Summer

Staff photos by Len Lathrop

by Len Lathrop
The Campbell stage was alive with the different looks in casual and formal wear, for both spring and
the upcoming proms. While this is the 16th annual fashion show, the goal was to bring a brand new
appearance this year to the show.
As Cougar juniors and seniors rocked the runway, emcees Michael Perez and Dala Johnson described
the fashions the students were showing and where they could be purchased. Clothing for the student
models came from TJ Maxx, Londonderry; Marshalls, Bedford; Davids Bridal, Nashua; and Mens
Wearhouse, Manchester.
Mrs. Gasper, fashion show adviser, credited the shows success to coordinators Aleisha Gray and
Roberto Landrau, committee leaders Brianna Carney, Caitlyn Rossi and Madison Rossi, and committee
members Emily Amache, Emma Montenero, Jianna Ramos, Julia Noury, Lisa Scarfo and Olivia Mastalerz.

How They Voted
Here are some important votes taken by your state representatives in Hillsborough District 37
(Hudson and Pelham) and Hillsborough Districts 20 and 44 (Litchfield). In some instances the yea or
nay may be changed to another term to avoid confusion as to the intent of the vote.
SB10 An act relative to dairy farm relief. This bill creates a program to repay licensed milk
producers $2 million for losses they may have incurred during the 2016 drought. Proponents claim
that many New Hampshiremilk producers have suffered significant financial loss as a result of
diminished crops due to the drought during 2016. As a result, several milk producers have ceased
milk production. Proponents also claim these farms enhance our natural landscape from which
our citizens derive great pleasure and to which so many of our tourists are attracted. Also locally-
Four Levels of Care produced milk is important to the states ability to feed itself
Opponents claimed the bill is simply a bailout, using taxpayers money, of a specific group of
private businesses. Opponents assert that weather conditions affect many businesses and should
be considered a part of doing business. They also question whether this will set a precedent for the
taxpayers subsidizing many other weather-affected businesses like skiing, travel, and landscaping,
to name but a few. On March 23, the NH House voted OPT/A (Ought to Pass with Amendment),
Rehabilitation 257-96. Yea can be construed as a vote for the bill. Nay can be construed as a vote against the bill.
Provided the Senate agrees to the amendment, the bill will proceed to the governor for signature.

Shaheen to Oppose Judge Gorsuchs
Supreme Court Nomination
submitted by the Office of U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) delivered the following
statement on the nomination of Judge Neil Gorsuch to serve on the
Supreme Court:
After meeting with Judge Gorsuch and reviewing his record and
testimony, I cannot support his nomination to serve on the Supreme
Court, said Shaheen. His record on womens reproductive rights
is very troubling and, despite the many questions raised to him
during his nomination hearing, he did not provide any assurances
that he would defend the important precedent of Roe v. Wade. I
cannot support a Supreme Court justice who would turn back the
clock on womens reproductive rights.
In addition, he has a very alarming record of putting the interests

of large corporations over those of their employees. I was also
disheartened by his evasive answers to questions regarding the
Citizens United decision, which has dramatically increased the
amount of secret money in politics.
When President Obama nominated Judge Garland, Republican
leadership immediately blocked his nomination, preventing a
hearing and a vote. Despite this unprecedented obstruction by
the Republican majority, I remain committed to upholding the
constitutions instruction to advise and consent on Supreme Court
nominations. As Judge Gorsuchs nomination comes to the floor, I
will support a 60-vote threshold for approval, an appropriate high
bar that has been met by seven of the eight current Supreme Court
justices.

Nashua Coins & Collectibles

Nashua Coins & Collectibles, at 202 Main St. in the heart of Downtown Nashua, has been open for
almost six years and is growing strong. The company is built on family values and customers love to just
stop in to say hello, often leaving with items they didnt know they were looking for.
Laurie and Gary Galbo are a husband and wife team operating a small business successfully! In this
shop you can bring a coin collection to Gary for an appraisal and he will help you make the best decision
on options you have. The options could be selling them, putting them in a coin auction, taking them
back to see if there is a change in their value, or a combination of these options. At times, you can also
be told to spend the money.
One of the newest aspects of the business is an online component to auctions which allows bidding
to occur from around the world! In the past two previous auctions, winning bids came from France and
Nova Scotia making Nashua Coins and Collectibles an international dealer!
If you are thinking about spring cleaning, they may be able to help if you have antiques, collectibles
or coins in your attics or basements. Like the American Pickers on TV, they love going to peoples

Why I Cannot Support Judge Gorsuchs Nomination for the Supreme Court
Judge Gorsuch has consistently sided with big corporations, showing a disregard for the impact his decisions have
on the lives of real Americans
by Senator Maggie Hassan
At the foundation of our American democracy is the principle that every person counts. While our
founding fathers did not count everyone at first, they established a system of self-government that would
allow us to continue striving to do so and we have.
An independent judiciary is critical to that system and to our march toward progress. Our founders
established our court system to serve as an independent arbiter. In the Constitution, they gave Supreme
Court justices secure posts free from political winds so they could stand up for equal justice under the
law and protect the rights of every American, even when those rights may conflict with the interests of
those in power.
In our judicial system, equality and justice are not cold concepts to be approached as academic
exercises divorced from reality. They are fundamental to the ability of people to live their lives with
dignity, opportunity and freedom.
Dignity to marry the person you love. Opportunity to live with a disability as a full member of your
community. Freedom to make your own health care decisions.
There is perhaps no position that requires a greater commitment to the pursuit of justice and protecting
the rights of all Americans than a lifetime-appointed justice to the United States Supreme Court.
Cases that come before the Supreme Court touch countless lives, and each of those lives counts. Our
system only works when Supreme Court justices consider the impact of their rulings on real people.
The Senate has a constitutional duty to provide its advice and consent on the presidents nominees to
the Supreme Court. It is one of a senators most solemn responsibilities.
Over the past weeks, I have carefully considered the record of President Trumps nominee to the
Supreme Court, Judge Neil Gorsuch. I studied Judge Gorsuchs judicial record and his testimony before
my colleagues on the Judiciary Committee, I met with him in my office and I have heard from people
across New Hampshire regarding his nomination.
After considering the totality of Judge Gorsuchs record and judicial philosophy, I have concluded
that at this critical moment in our nations history, Judge Gorsuch has failed to demonstrate the judicial
approach needed in a Supreme Court justice. While Judge Gorsuch is by all accounts a man of great
integrity in his personal life, his record demonstrates that he has too often shown a disregard for the
impact that his decisions have on the lives of real Americans, consistently putting big corporations before
the rights and liberties of hard-working people and families.
Take for example, the case of Alphonse Maddin, a truck driver whose bosses ordered him to stay with
a broken-down trailer on the side of the road in subzero temperatures. As the feeling began to leave his
body, Maddin left his trailer for a short time in order to save his life. His company fired him as a result.
Maddin sued his company and seven judges heard his case. Only one of those judges Judge Gorsuch
sided with the corporation over an employee who acted to save his own life.
In another ruling, the Supreme Court just this month unanimously rejected Judge Gorsuchs narrow
view of the educational rights of people who experience disabilities and their families under the
Individuals with Disabilities Education Act.
As the mother of a son who experiences severe disabilities, I know that these are not abstract legal
issues. If not for the IDEA, my son would not have had the opportunity to go to school, to learn and make
friends in our community, opportunities we all want for our children. Yet throughout his career, Judge
Gorsuch has repeatedly ruled against the rights of people with disabilities.
Judge Gorsuchs disregard for individual rights also extends to the rights of women, and I have deep
concerns about Judge Gorsuchs failure to commit to upholding the precedent of Roe v. Wade. On the
bench, he has taken the side of large, for-profit corporations who have denied birth control coverage to
women workers.
For women to participate fully in our democracy, they have to know that their government respects
their capacity and right to make their own health care decisions. I am not confident Judge Gorsuch will
uphold womens constitutionally protected right to reproductive freedom and full participation in the
economic and civic life of our country.
Additionally, Judge Gorsuchs history of siding with corporations and his vague responses on the
Citizens United decision suggest that he would rule to continue allowing unlimited, dark money to
overwhelm our political system and the voices of everyday Americans.
At a time when our country all too often feels deeply divided on the critical issues we face, we need
a Supreme Court justice who will rise above partisanship and protect the core values that we hold dear.
President Trump can truly honor his pledge to be a president for everyday Americans by nominating
a mainstream, consensus Supreme Court justice who would put the rights of hard-working Americans
ahead of big corporations and ahead of a cold judicial philosophy.
Unfortunately, Judge Gorsuch is not that nominee.
Judge Gorsuch is not in the mainstream. He has not shown a commitment to protecting the rights of all
Americans, and he does not seem to always fully consider the consequences his decisions have on real
lives. I will vote against this nomination, and I support maintaining the traditional 60-vote threshold for
confirming Supreme Court nominees.

the Best Taxpayer ROI
With tax day approaching, WalletHub has
released its latest analysis of the U.S. tax
landscape, an in-depth look at the states with the
Best & Worst Taxpayer Return on Investment in
2017. Ideological differences regarding the role
of local taxation have resulted in dramatically
different tax burdens. This begs the question of
whether people in high-tax states benefit from
expectedly superior government services or
if low-tax states are more efficient or receive
correspondingly low-quality services. In short,
where do taxpayers get the most and least bang
for their buck?
WalletHub used 23 metrics to compare the
quality and efficiency of state-government services
across five distinct categories - Education, Health,
Safety, Economy, and Infrastructure & Pollution -
taking into account the drastically different rates
at which citizens are taxed in each state. The
state that received the highest Taxpayer Return on
Investment turned out to be New Hampshire. See
below for how New Hampshire fared in each of
the five categories.

Dryer Fire Requires a Building Evacuation

Photos by David S. Morin

by David S. Morin
A small fire in a dryer at the D&D Laundromat and Dry Cleaners
caused no damage but required an evacuation of the building for a
short time. Firefighters were called to the 76 Lowell Road location
after a 9-1-1 call reported smoke coming from the roof of Suzies
Dinner just before 3:30 p.m.
Captain Kevin Grebinar arrived on the scene of the call and
reported smoke showing from the roof. Firefighters quickly placed
ladders to the side of building to access the roof to determine the
extent of the fire.
Additional firefighters first entered the dinner and found no signs
of a fire. They then checked the laundromat located to the rear of
the restaurant finding material had ignited in a dryer causing the
smoke. Firefighters opened up the ceiling panels to make sure
flames had not spread in the concealed spaces. A thermal imaging
camera was used to scan the roof area and ventilation system for
signs of heat or spreading flames.
The fire was placed under control 45 minutes after the arrival of
crews. No injuries were reported. Hudson firefighters were assisted
at the scene by a engine company from Nashua.

3 tips to prepare to sell your home
According to Realtor.com, spring is the busiest
and best season to sell a home. While a good home
can find a buyer any time of year, homeowners
might find the buyers pool is strongest in spring and
into summer. The reasons for that are many, ranging
from parents wanting to move when their children
are not in school to buyers wanting to move when
the weather is most accommodating.
Because spring is such a popular time to sell a
home, homeowners who want to put their homes on
the market should use winter as an opportunity to
prepare their homes for the prying eyes of prospec-
tive buyers. The following tips can help homeowners
during the pre-selling preparation process.
1. Address the exterior of the home.
Winter can be harsh on a homes exterior, so as
winter winds down, homeowners who want to sell
their homes should make an effort to address any-
thing that might negatively affect their homes curb
appeal. A study of homes in Greenville, S.C., from
researchers at Clemson University found that the
value of homes with landscapes that were upgraded
from good to excellent increased by 6 to 7 per-
cent. If its in the budget, hire professional landscap-
ers to fix any problematic landscaping or address
any issues that arose during the winter. Homeowners
with green thumbs can tackle such projects on their
own, but hiring professionals is akin to staging inside
the home.
2. Conquer interior clutter.
Clutter has a way of accumulating
over the winter, when people tend to
spend more time indoors than they do
throughout the rest of the year. Hom-
eowners who want to put their homes
on the market in spring wont have
the luxury of waiting until spring to do
their spring cleaning, so start clear-
ing any clutter out in winter, even
resolving to make an effort to prevent
VIRGINIA KAZLOUSKAS
its accumulation throughout winter. Just like buyers
are impressed by curb appeal, they are turned off by
clutter. The Appraisal Institute suggests homeown-
ers clear clutter out of their homes before appraisers
visit, and the same approach can be applied to open
houses. Buyers, like appraisers, see cluttered homes
as less valuable. In addition, a home full of clutter
might give buyers the impression, true or not, that
the home was not well maintained.
3. Eliminate odors.
A homes inhabitants grow accustomed to odors
that might be circulating throughout the house. Pet
odor, for instance, might not be as strong to a homes
residents as it is to guests and prospective buyers.
Because windows tend to stay closed throughout
the winter, interior odors can be even stronger come
late-winter than they are during the rest of the year.
A thorough cleaning of the house, including vacu-
uming and removal of any pet hair that accumulated
over the winter, can help to remove odor. In the
weeks leading up to the open house, bathe pets
more frequently, using a shampoo that promotes
healthy skin so pet dander is not as prevalent. Open
windows when the weather allows so more fresh air
comes into the home.
Spring is a popular and potentially lucrative time
to sell a home, and homeowners who spend winter
preparing their homes for the market may reap even
greater rewards.

AHS Softball Prepares for a Promising Season

Hudson~LitchfieldSports
by Len Lathrop
It was raining
and only about
35 degrees on
Monday as the
Bronco softball
team practiced.
Sorry, forgot to
mention that they
were at Play Ball
in Nashua. In
one cage, Coach
Brisk had the
ladies scooping
up ground balls

call catch. It
was noted that
catcher Siteman
did not flinch when the ball popped as it hit her
glove.
Many of the faces working the fielding drill
were from last year when the ladies played in
the NHIAA Division 1 finals losing to Salem.
Truly, there are only two new players hoping to
be on the roster: freshman Alexis Charbonneau,
who could be the Broncos first baseman and
Christine Cabral, a senior, who has a lot of
softball experience and could be a utility person
both in and out field.
Varsity finals in practice at Play Ball in Nashua
The season is scheduled to open on April 12
at Manchester Central. On the Alvirne diamond
on that Friday against Dover, listing the players
names who are returning, one has to think that
once the winter muscles are stretched back into
playing shape, the Lady Broncos should be ready
to go. Returning players are Jenna Bradish, Jamie
DeAngelo, Elizabeth DeRosa, Kellie Kennedy,
Haley Peaslee, Alicia Salvalzo and Ashley Silva.
With an 18-game season and the last contest
on May 26, Coach Brisk mentioned that there are
some very good teams in D1. Like Salem and
BG, Timberlane is always right there and with
Londonderry and Pinkerton who always can give
you a game.
As the team was leaving Play Ball, Coach
Brisk mentioned that three of the players will be
playing on the college level in 2018, with Kellie
Kennedy at Rivier, Sarah Siteman at UMass-
Lowell and Nicole Teague at Marist. She talked
about what a great group of players the team
was, calling them great people, great athletes. Senior pitcher Nicole Teague.
