Are your Fingerprints on those Door Handles?

by Len Lathrop
Was it your brothers school or your school or were your children students
there? Maybe you visited for a meeting, kinda like being called to the
principals office, just worse. Just think about the number of fingerprints that
the three doors of the Kimball Webster School have recorded, some with
gloves and mittens and some just bare hands of all sizes and shapes.
Staff photo by Bruce Preston

These doors will soon be gone as new ones are on order. The 2018 budget
called for their replacement, and this week the school board awarded the bid
to Portland Glass for the three doors that have swung open so many times over
the years. For $17,148, new aluminum doors made of black metal will be in
their place, including the door in the front that you see from Library Street and
the two doors that are part of the addition to the original Webster School.
While we can ask if you have ever walked on the roof of the Alvirne
gymnasium/library, the answer is probably no for most. But if you have been
in the Steckevicz building you know that rain is captured in buckets. The
project will be paid for out of capital reserve funds, which had been put away
by voters for school district building repair. The voters approved $175,000; the
bid from Corolla Contracting came in at $136,400. Business Manager Karen Kinball School before the 1929 fire that destroyed the center of the building

This 1977 aerial photo of Derry Road was taken from
behind the 20th Century Shopping Center (now 102 Plaza)
looking easterly such that we see Saint Patricks Cemetery,
McDonalds and Hudson Mall across the two-lane Derry
Road.
As plans for the new bridge(s) across the Merrimack
River evolved in the 1960s, businesses and homes near
the old Taylor Falls Bridge were slated for demolition.
This included 20th Century Store, White Cross, Hudson
Pharmacy, along with other businesses, apartments and
homes. Phil Lamoy, owner of the 20th Century Stores,
announced plans to build a shopping center on the Derry
Road; groundbreaking on the 25-acre parcel took place
in July 1969. His site included the location of the former
Goodwins Fried Clam Stand. Goodwins, a popular clam
stand and restaurant, had been located here since 1931.
By 1970 Lamoy had moved his 20th Century Hudson
store into this center which provided retail space for a
drug store, beauty shop, barber shop and restaurant along
with a large parking area. By 1977, the 20th Century
Store had given way to Bargain Outlet. The center went
by the name of 20th Century but the store itself was no
longer doing business in Hudson.
By August 1970 the president of the Bank of NH
(formerly the Second National Bank and now TD Bank)
announced the purchase of a spot on the northern part of the 20th Century Center for a branch office.
Just north of the bank was Quigleys Citgo gas station which began operation about 1972. This Citgo has
morphed over the years into the Mobil Station. North of the gas station where we now have a Dunkin
Donuts and the roadway to Abbott Farms Condominiums we see no development.
Development of Hudson Mall on the opposite side of the road occurred a few years later. This was the
Mark McLean, Candidate
for State Rep, District 44
As a candidate in the
special election for State
Representative in District 44,
I would like to take this final
opportunity to ask the people
of Litchfield for their support,
and to remind everyone that
the election will be held on
this coming Tuesday, May 23.
Im running because after
working as an engineer for
more than two decades,
Ive become concerned
about the weakening of our
manufacturing and technology
base, the erosion of diversity
in our economy, and the
resultant loss of opportunity
that has been pushing our
young people out of the state.
I ran and won a seat as a representative in
the 2014-2016 term. In that time, I supported a
budget that reduced the business profits tax for the
first time in decades, and the business enterprise
tax for the first time ever. I worked to hold the
line on the expansion of excessive regulations,
and Im hopeful that we can continue to make commitment to address the looming drug and
further gains in that area. The current regulatory
environment is still overly cumbersome, and it
can be especially punishing for small businesses
that dont have an abundance of resources to help
ease compliance.
Many legislators unfortunately tend to view
problems exclusively in legislative terms. They
see a situation brewing, and with the best of
intentions, seek to solve it. Sadly, this desire
to find a legislative solution to every problem

only serves to create a
yearly quagmire of almost
1,000 bills, many of which a
redundant. The end result is
an ever-changing patchwork of
regulations that steals flexibility
from our businesses and often
hurts the very people we want
to help.
As an engineer, I have always
had a structured approach to
solving problems. I understand
that legislation is not the
solution to every situation,
and that it should only be
brought into being after the
root cause of an issue has
been determined. This was my
legislative philosophy in my first
term, and I will employ it again if I am chosen to
return to Concord to represent you.
I believe that under the new leadership of
Governor Sununu we will continue to make
further progress towards tax relief, easement
of regulations, and development of energy
infrastructure. The governor has indicated a strong
mental health crises, and we are finally looking at
educational diversity with fresh eyes. Im excited
by what Im seeing.
Im grateful to have the endorsements of both
of Litchfields current reps, Frank Byron and Rich
Lascelles. If I am fortunate enough to be selected
as your representative, I promise to always
represent you with dignity, integrity, and all the
ability at my disposal.

site of Abbott Dairy, operated initially and for many years
by George Abbott. After his sudden death in 1929 his
sons Roland and Kenneth ran the milk business. Local
dairy farmers would deliver their milk for processing
after which milk and cream were delivered to homes
and businesses in the Nashua and Hudson area. After
Rolands death in 1964, Kenny carried on until the
property was sold for the new Hudson Mall. Prior to
1968 the west side of Derry Road near Quigleys station
had been home to Roland and Hazel Abbott and their
family. On the east side, adjacent to Abbott Dairy, was
the home of Kenneth and Hilda Abbott and their family.
In 1973 Vickery Realty, owner and developer,
publicized their plans to build Hudson Shopping Mall
on the east side of Derry Road, just north of St. Patricks
Cemetery. The original mall was a multi-million dollar
complex of a climate controlled, enclosed sidewalk mall
with a large Alexanders Super Market on the north end.
Alexanders opened for business in 1974; other smaller
stores and First Federal Bank soon followed. By May
1977, McDonalds restaurant was added as a stand-alone
business.
Significant changes have occurred over the years. In
1988, the post office was relocated to this mall. In
1990, Alexanders supermarket (now Hannafords)
moved up in size and relocated to the south end of the

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
how geography and economics have an influence
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.

Incident Commander Captain Kevin Grebinar said Hudson Fire
Dispatch received a 911 call just after 7 p.m. reporting an odor of
gas in the home. Upon arrival, the firefighters found that the homes
occupants had self evacuated the building. Firefighters entered the
building with gas and air monitors to find the source of the odor.
An ambulance was requested to the scene to evaluate the mother
and three children as a precaution Grebinar said.
Hudson firefighters evaluate a mother and three children at the scene.
Firefighters found no readings of any harmful gases in the home
but did ventilation of the building due to an ongoing heating system
problem. The four residents were evaluated and released at the
scene. Firefighters had the situation under control 20 minutes after
their arrival.
Nine firefighters and officers staffing an engine, ladder,
ambulance and command vehicle operated at the scene. A Nashua

How a Raffle Becomes More than an Act of Kindness

by Len Lathrop
It all started inside a simple log cabin. This act of
kindness a raffle for a Hudson man in needcame
to be because these people who heal others, who care
about their community, wanted to make a difference.
Most everyone around town is familiar with Barclay
Chiropractic. It is a medical practice housed in a log
cabin in south Hudson. Officially, this is the office of
Drs. Warren and Ryan Barclay of 5 Dracut Road.
While that is where this story took place last
Thursday, it really began in the state of Washington in
early February. Everyone --unless you open your eyes
in Hudson, drive to Boston for your work and turn
around at the end of your day and simply go back to
sleep-- must know of the accident that changed the life
of a Hudson family 180 degrees that day.
On Feb. 11, 2017, Joshua Keller was unexpectedly
shot in the neck by an accidental weapon discharge
while in Washington State. Joshua is a specialist
assigned to the 2nd Battalion, 1st Infantry Regiment,
7th Infantry Division. Joshuas twin brother; also an
Army Ranger, was present at the time of the shooting.
The surgeons at the hospital credit Zachary with saving
his twin brothers life by administering CPR several
times as well as taking numerous measures to help
control the bleeding.
While the bullet and bone fragment are still lodged in
his spine, Joshua is working on his recovery in a Boston
Army hospital.
Last Thursday was the day that the raffle ended at the
chiropractic office. Staff members had worn their Joshua Strong
shirts one day a
week for the past
month as patients
and others had
a chance to
purchase tickets
to win the basket
and pillow from
the team at the
chiropractic
group.
One knew
that this was
more than just
a raffle when
the first words

uttered, on his
way out from

were, what

COLLINS BROS.
Matt continued the story about the journey,
speaking from his heart. Most of the staff, and even
the senior Dr. Barclay, a military veteran himself,
had tears in their eyes. Matt spoke of Joshua and
the stories of the people who visited to tell of their
involvement with this 23 year old.
There were snippets of details about the time in
Washington and their new family at St. Josephs
Hospital where Joshua was in the ICU unit. There
was a visit from the FBI director from the Tacoma,
Wash., Bureau who brought flowers and vodka.
Matts public service history involved many
contracts with the FBI. The nurse at St. Joes showed
compassion as no flowers are allowed in ICU, but
allowed them to be kept in water at the nurses
station. As for the vodka, Matt has pledged not to
drink until Josh can drink, so the bottle is being
stored away for a later day.
The dad explained that Josh is not on life
support now. He doesnt need any assistance with
breathing, can talk and is in good spirits. He spoke
of the amazing drive that Joshua is showing, saying
at one point, He is my rock. Keller explained
that his sons spinal column is intact; the injury
caused a tourniquet type of reaction that has led to
paralysis. He told about operating Joshs different

Girl Scouts Troops 10224 and 12360 got to attend the Scoutmasters Camporee at West Point, N.Y.
Over 6,000 Scouts attended this event and Hudson Girl Scouts were picked out of a pool of 12,000
applicants to attend. The camporee was hosted by the Army Cadets that evaluated campsites, taught
first aid, land navigation, physical fitness and held a leadership reaction course. The Scouts piloted
an inflatable raft, demonstrated martial arts and honed their outdoor skills. Scouts saw a military unit
parachute land at the drop zone and helicopters displaying aviation skills. The girls even learned to like
the native mud. The last day ended with a huge bonfire with a DJ and concert. The camporee ended
with a passing review with the commandant of West Point and a three star general from the Army, to
review all the Scouts. The American Legion Post 48 of Hudson was instrumental in its support of the Girl
Scouts. The Scouts and their leaders felt this was a very well organized event and the cadets were great
hosts and role models.

The town of Litchfield was settled/established in 1734. The
towns history is replete with instances of the citizenry going
off to war, leaving family and friends to keep the home fires
burning, as the expression goes.
Joan Kendall, Litchfield native and local seamstress, has
handmade period costumes representing various residents of
the past, both those going to war and those staying behind.
This contingent will proudly march in the May 29 Memorial
Day Parade, which will step off at 10 a.m. from the Litchfield
Middle School and march to the fire station. A program
of remembrance will be provided by the historical society,
followed by tours of the historical society building which
houses an enormous array of genuine local, historical artifacts.

Hudson Man Pleads Guilty Get Help at a Hudson Fire Log

to Distributing Fentanyl
submitted by the Office of Acting U.S.
Attorney John J. Farley, District of New
Hampshire
Acting United States Attorney John J.
Farley announced that Dennis Higgins,
23, formerly of Hudson, pleaded guilty
to unlawful distribution of fentanyl.
According to court documents and
statements in the court proceeding, on
Feb. 15, 2016, Higgins sold a quantity
of fentanyl to M.W., a 22-year-old
female from Kittery, Maine. Because
of a 911 call the following morning,
emergency personnel responded to
M.W.s residence in Kittery, where they
found M.W. dead from a suspected
drug overdose. In the immediate
vicinity of the body, law enforcement
officers found needles and a plastic
bag that contained a white powdery
substance that was determined to be
fentanyl. An autopsy determined M.S.s
death was caused by acute fentanyl
intoxication.
Higgins is scheduled to be sentenced
on Aug. 23. The plea agreement
contains a binding stipulation that the
parties agree to recommend to the
court that Higgins be sentenced within
a range of 120 months to 144 months
of imprisonment; however, the court
deferred acceptance of the stipulation
until the time of sentencing.
Opioid abuse is at epidemic levels
in New Hampshire, said Special
Agent in Charge Michael J. Ferguson.
Fentanyl is causing overdose deaths
across the Granite State, and DEA
is committed to aggressively pursue
anyone who distributes this poison in
order to profit and destroy peoples
lives. This investigation demonstrates
the strength and continued commitment
of our local, state and federal law
enforcement partners.
Acting U.S. Attorney John J. Farley
said, Fentanyl continues to be the
cause of far too many deaths in the
Granite State and throughout New
England. The aggressive investigation
and prosecution of individuals
engaged in fentanyl trafficking in New
Hampshire remains a top priority of
the United States Attorneys Office and
our law enforcement partners at the
local, state and federal level. While we
support access to treatment for those
who suffer from addiction, those who
distribute these deadly drugs need to
be held accountable for the substantial
damage they are causing in our
community.
This case was investigated by the
U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration
with assistance from the Kittery, Maine
and Merrimack, New Hampshire
police departments. The case is being
prosecuted by Assistant United States
Attorney Jennifer Cole Davis.

Cougar LAX Women Continue to Play Hard

by Len Lathrop
The past week has been a scheduling nightmare for coaches and athletic directors. The season only has
a week and a half left to schedule games, and Mother Nature has brought rain into the equation.
The CHS girls lacrosse team dropped one to Gilford on Thursday, May 11, by a score of 16-8. Jamie
Jutras, Jocelyn Theriault and Caitlin Newell each had two goals. Emily Mailhiot and Emma Montenero
both had a goal apiece. Midfielders combined for eight draw controls. The game eventually came down
to loose ball control where Gilford had 21 scoops to Campbells six with shots on goal that were 23-15.
On May 15, the Campbell girls lacrosse team lost to first-place and defending state champions Laconia
High School by a score of 14-5. Campbell was running on fumes as they were playing their fifth game in
five days. Jocelyn Theriault had three goals and Jamie Jutras and Olivia Christino each had a goal. Jamie
Jutras also had three assists and added six loose ground balls.
On Friday this week, May 19, Coe-Brown Northwood will be in Litchfield for a 4 p.m. game. On May
23, Kearsarge will be in town for the seasons last home game where seniors and their parents will be
honored at 4 p.m. The final game of the season will be on May 26 at Belmont; the time is not yet set.

The following are game reports from Alvirne Coach
Sarah Brisk. Facing Londonderry on May 15, the
Bronco ladies were silenced by a grand slam in the
first inning. The Alvirne struggled at the plate the
entire game, hitting only three singles in all. These
came from Liz DeRosa, Farrah Cestrone and Alexis
Charbonneau. Unfortunately none added up to a digit
on the scoreboard. Kellie Kennedy suffered the loss,
pitching seven innings and giving up seven runs on 10
hits.
On May 13 vs. Exeter, the Alvirne girls were
swinging bats that were almost too hot to handle. In
fact, the AHS team tallied an even dozen runs in all
compared to one lonely run by the home team. In
