Firefighters Offer a Dinner, Italian Style
Two-and-a half-year-old Finn Jordan and his mother enjoy the
spaghetti prepared by firefighters.
by David S. Morin
Mama Mia! Litchfield firefighters put on an Italian spaghetti dinner with all the fixings at Campbell
High School on April 22. The dinner is the Litchfield Firefighters Relief Associations annual fundraising
event, but this year, instead of the traditional ham and bean supper, they added a little Italian flair. More
than 200 people from the Litchfield community came out to support their firefighters.
Relief Association President Jason Ricard said the Litchfield Firefighters Association contributes to
charities such as the Firefighter Cancer Support Network, Christmas Angels, the local chapter of Salvation
Army Emergency Disaster Service, the local food pantry, Veterans Count, American Cancer Society and
many other charities that help those in need or benefit the community. The supper also supports the
benevolence of the firefighters.
Ricard said they offer scholarships for local students entering into a field of public service, provide
equipment to the fire department and offer training to the firefighters in order to help them better serve
Follow the 10
Commandments
of Firearm Safety
Last weekend, 34 local hunters participated in a hunting education
workshop at the Hudson Fish & Game Club to prepare them for the
adventures that lie ahead.
Hunter education, which provides both rifle and archery certification, is
mandatory for anyone wishing to buy a hunting license in New Hampshire.
It is designed to teach hunters proper safety and ethics in the field. NH
Fish and Game posts courses beginning in February with these workshops
running through October. Everyone who is 16 years or older must have a
license to hunt in New Hampshire. Online pre-registration is required for
many program offerings, including certification courses.
In Hudson, this weekends hunter education participants received a stack
of educational materials and guides to aid them, including Todays Hunter
in the Northeast, a Guide to Hunting Responsibly and Safely.
The Ten Commandments of Firearm Safety (outlined in Todays Hunter in
the Northeast)
1. Control that muzzle! Keep it pointed in a safe direction at all times.
2. Treat every firearm with the respect due a loaded gun. It might be,
even if you think it isnt.
3. Be sure of the target and what is in front of it and beyond it. Know
the identifying features of the game you hunt. Make sure you have an
adequate backstop - dont shoot at a flat, hard surface or water.
4. Keep your finger outside the trigger guard until ready to shoot. This is
the best way to prevent an accidental discharge.
5. Check your barrel and ammunition. Make sure the barrel and action
are clear of obstructions, and carry only the proper ammunition for your
firearm.
6. Unload firearms when not in use. Leave actions open and carry
firearms in cases and unloaded to and from the shooting area.
7. Point a firearm only at something you intend to shoot. Avoid all
horseplay with a gun.
8. Dont run, jump or climb with a loaded firearm. Unload a firearm
before you climb a fence or tree or jump across a ditch. Pull a firearm
toward you by the butt, not the muzzle.
9. Store firearms and ammunition separately and safely. Store each in
secured locations beyond the reach of children and careless adults.
10. Avoid alcoholic beverages before and during shooting. Also avoid
mind- or behavior-altering medicines or drugs.
According to Todays Hunter in the Northeast Guide, more than half of
the fatal firearm incidents reported each year happen in the home. By being
knowledgeable and avoiding carelessness, hunters and gun owners can help
prevent these accidents. They can ensure a safe home environment by using
common sense and keeping safety in the forefront.
Gun Safety at Home
Lock unloaded guns away where children cant reach them. Store
ammunition in a separate location.
Use trigger locks. These inexpensive safety devices fit around the
trigger of an unloaded firearm to prevent it from being fired accidentally.
Immediately point the muzzle in a safe direction when you pick up a
firearm.
Keep your finger off the trigger.
Always check to see that the chamber and magazine are empty.
If a gun is taken from storage to show friends, be sure they understand
safe gun handling rules.

Learn More about Renovation Plans for CTE and Alvirne

Alvirne High Schools principal encourages town residents to
attend an informational night, on Thursday, May 4 at 7 p.m. in the
high school music room, that outlines the plans to renovate the
Career and Technical Education Center and Alvirne building.
Though much has changed in education over the last four
decades, not much has changed at Alvirne, said Principal Steve
Beals in a letter that recently went out to parents and guardians.
As a proud graduate of the school in 1985, it is certainly the same
building that I attended.
As many residents know, Beals wrote, the original Alvirne
building was built in 1975 following a catastrophic fire. In 1992,
the Webb Palmer Vocational Center was added. That means the
main building is, in Beals words, 42 years young while the newer
vocational center is 25 years young. Beals reminds residents that
the CTE building is eligible for state funding of up to 75 percent for
An architectural rendering of the proposed renovations to CTE and Alvirne
both renovation and new construction. Renovation of the Alvirne
building and the remaining 25 percent of funding would need to
come from the community.
At the May 4 meeting, renovation plans for the CTE, Alvirne, as
well as updated site plans to improve parking and building access,
will be made available. In addition, plans for the new spaces to
be occupied by the performing arts and athletics will be seen. The
Hudson School District Renovation Committee has been working for
almost a year on the development of the plans, according to Beals.
The architect will be on hand with a presentation and renderings.
Public feedback will then be collected in a question-and-answer
session. Beals urges residents to attend so that they can be well
educated for the vote in March 2018.
Anyone who is unable to attend on May 4 can go to a similar
presentation on Monday, May 1 to the Hudson School Board.

Remember Hudson When ...
by Ruth Parker
Andrew Andy Polak served 34 years as a
member of the Hudson police force, 26 of these
years as police chief. For the year ending Jan. 31,
1943, the police department operated with a budget
of $3,200, including $1,826 salary for H. J. Connell
as chief, 13 part-time officers earning .50 per hour,
and expenses for operating the police cruiser. Of
the police officers Andy logged the most hours,
earning a salary of $350.50 for 701 hours! In April
1946 Officer Polak was appointed chief after Chief
Harry Connell resigned due to poor health. Chief
Polak remained in that capacity until his retirement
in October 1972.
In this weeks photo we see Officer Andy next
to the police cruiser on the Derry Road in front of
Goodwins Fried Clam Stand with Saint Patricks
Cemetery in the background. Visible are the front
wall of the cemetery, a house adjacent to the
cemetery and the corner of the roof of Goodwins
Stand. Perhaps Andy was at the stand on town
business as Fred T. Goodwin, proprietor, was one of
the three selectmen for the Town of Hudson.
Police activities for Chief Polak in the early years
was much different than today. In addition to
being police chief he was also the health officer,
responsible for recording measles, mumps and other infectious diseases. The mobile radio installed in the
cruiser was receive only. Calls for service were dispatched to the chief. After completing the call, or if he
needed additional personnel, he would have to find a phone nearly to call in his report.
Chief Polak attended the Federal Bureau of Investigation National Academy in Washington, D.C., where

Officer Polak and the Cruiser, 1942
he learned about all phases of police work and investigations
including fingerprinting, photography and shooting. The local
Lions Club was able to sponsor this schooling for the benefit of
the town.
During his time as chief, Andy and his department were
instrumental in solving many major crimes in Hudson; here are
a few. In 1958, a man reported that his wife was missing to an
on-duty officer at the Hudson Speedway. After investigations and
questioning the husband it was disclosed that he and his wife
had argued and she had been murdered and was buried out of
state.
The following year Hudson was the site of one of the largest
robberies in the state up to the time. Three men entered Bensons
Wild Animal Farm, beat a watchman, bound and gagged an
animal trainer, and opened the safe with a blowtorch removing
$23,000. After eight months and a five-state investigation
the crime was solved. No significant amount of money was
recovered; however, a large number of other robberies were
solved in connection with this investigation.
In 1968, the first bank robbery in Hudson occurred. The
Indian Head Bank, then located on Ferry Street near the site of
the present Santander Bank, was robbed. The investigation of
this $1,900 robbery was unsuccessful.
Officer Andy Polak and the cruiser in 1942 In 2000, during a ceremony to recognize retired Chief Polak
at the Hudson Historical Society, he donated his police uniform
to the society to be retained as part of our towns history.

N.H., Town Report for the year ending Jan. 31, 1943. Copies of the Town in Transition are available for
purchase from the historical society. The photograph is from the societys collection and was a donation
from Celia Polak, daughter of the chief.

Geopolitics in Todays World continues through
May. The Rodgers Memorial Library is offering a
new program, Geopolitics in Todays World. The
purpose of this program is to bring awareness of

on politics and on the relations between nations.
The sources of the information are obtained from
world-wide think-tanks, and established world-
wide geopolitical websites. The presentations
are scheduled on Wednesdays from 11 a.m. to 1
p.m. through May 31. Presenter John Penasack
has been facilitating the popular Geopolitics and
Conflicts program for the Rivier Institute for Senior
Education and will now be bringing this related
program to the library. Anyone interested in this
topic is encouraged to attend any session. Pre-
registration is requested so adequate materials can
be prepared. Walk-ins welcome.

How They Voted

The Operating Budget*
*There are two state budgets: the operating budget
(HB-1 and 2) and the capital budget (HB-25). HB-25
did pass the NH House.
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 will be

changed to another term to avoid confusion as to the
intent of the vote. Presiding is the speaker who only
votes in a tie.
HB-1 and HB-2: The New Hampshire Operating
Budget. Background: The state operating budget is
unique and complex. It determines the funding for
state programs and the state departments for the next
biennium. To meet constitutional restrictions, the
operational budget is submitted in two bills. HB-1
is the budget, containing the accounting and the
numbers. HB-2, sometimes called the trailer bill,
contains the statutory changes and enactments
necessary to provide funding for and direction of
the expenditures delineated in HB-1. The process
proceeds whereby the governors submitted budget
(HB-1 and HB-2) is worked by the House finance
committee who prepare an amendment to HB-1 and
HB-2 intended to replace the governors proposal with
the proposals by the House.
The House was divided into three voting blocs:
1) Those that supported the finance committees
amendments, 2) Those who opposed the finance
committees amendments because they increased
spending too much and 3) Those who opposed the
finance committees amendments because they
didnt increase spending enough. Over the course
of a two-day session there were many votes taken on
amendments to HB-1 and HB-2. No amendments
obtained a majority. No compromises could be
reached. Eventually, HB-1 and HB-2 were tabled. As
no bill was forthcoming, the creation of an operating
budget passed to the Senate.
Presented below, as examples, are the votes on the
finance committees amendments to HB-1 and HB-2.

The Next
Big Catch
by Capt. John Parkhurst
The 2017 fishing season is here! On the
ocean, haddock fishing has been awesome.
A dropper loop rig with a 5/0 offset
baitholder hook, lead bank sinker, a chunk
of clam or squid or vertical jigging iron has
been great. For haddock I look for 160-220
feet of water depth and keep your weights on
the bottom. A drift sock or anchor will aid in
the effort if a strong wind or current is making
it hard to stay on bottom.
You cant keep cod due to low stock
reports, so deflate their swim bladders and
safely release. The unofficial proposed
regulations did not allow cod to be harvested
in the Gulf of Maine this year, north of Cape
Cod. Its not set in stone but doesnt look
like cod fishing will be allowed. The official
NOAA regulations get released just before
May 1 for the 2017-2018 season.
On a positive note, recreational fishermen
and charter boat customers are coming back
to the dock with their 15 haddock limit, and
unlimited pollock, redfish and cusk. This
time of year they are closer to shore, North
Halfway Hump is a good place to start then
work your way out to the Cove, Prong and
then the Curl on the ledge. Tip: Captain
Seagulls area charts, found at local tackle
shops, help to identify the nick names for
locations.
Striped bass will be coming in to the
Merrimack River by the middle of May. Great
time to get your fly-rods or light spinning
tackle out and throw some sand eel imitations
or slug-gos at the 12-24 inch stripers. For
spinning gear I use Savage Gear sand eel
paddle tails in their 5-inch configuration
worked great last year. Tip: use super glue
between the body and lead head hook so it
doesnt keep slipping down. Reminder: legal
striper size is 28 inches and you can only
keep one per angler a day in New Hampshire
or Massachusetts State waters (three miles
out). Also, make sure to purchase your
saltwater fishing license and do not fillet your
striper at sea or on the beach or you could
be ticketed by the conservation officers.
Check your regulations before fishing, and,
if youre confused, call the state fisheries
offices for clarification. Finally, check the
weather, wave conditions, safety gear and tell
someone where youre going and when you
expect to return before leaving!
Tight lines!
Captain John Parkhurst of Parkhurst Charters,
Salisbury, Mass.

MOTHERSDAY

All the Best for

Bridging the Distance on Mothers Day

Many modern families are spread out across the country if not
the globe. Some people move away from family to further their
careers, while others are called upon to care for others. Children
may separate from their parents to witness new travel experiences.
Military service may call individuals away from home as well.
Distance can make it challenging to spend time together for
major holidays and other special occasions like Mothers Day.
But Mothers Day can still be special even if Mom lives hundreds or
thousands of miles away.
Embrace technology
Technology helps break down some of the barriers created by
distance. While phone calls were once the way to keep in touch,
interest in town. These little touches of home can mean the world to
her.
Create a special day
Even if you do not live near your mother, you can still plan a fun
day for her in her town. Make reservations for a spa, hair salon or
other sources of pampering and surprise her with all the details.
Treat her to the ultimate surprise
If possible, make a surprise visit this Mothers Day. Coordinate the Customized jewelry
