Remember Hudson When ...

Jasper Poultry Farm Stand c. 1962

Jasper Farm Stand c. 1962 Ds Auto Body at 296 Derry Rd., 2017

by Ruth Parker
By the late 1950s the State of New Hampshire had re-routed Route 102 (Derry Road) just north of
the Hills House to proceed north through parts of Litchfield, then back into Hudson, then forward to
Londonderry and Derry. Before that time Route 102 followed what is now Old Derry Road, past Jasper
Farms, Nadeau Farm, the Hudson Speedway and on to Londonderry and Derry. This new highway
removed much of the traffic from Old Derry Road; at the same time the new highway created business
and retail opportunities on previously undeveloped land.
In March 1960 Jasper Farms, under the management of Robert Jasper, purchased five-and-a-quarter
acres of land on the new highway opposite what is now Connies Plaza. Shortly after, in an effort to
expand local retail presence and take advantage of the new highway, Jasper Farms opened its farm stand
at what is now 296 Derry Rd. By looking at our first photo we see one could purchase farm fresh eggs,
Bar-B-Q chicken, ready-to-cook chicken, as well as some Hoods dairy products.
This retail store did not survive for long. By June 1968 the five-and-a-quarter acre parcel was sold to
Bernie and Phyllis McArdle. Bernie established his Home Decorating Center where he sold wallpaper,
paint, and provided paint contracting services.
As time went on the property was subdivided and the building expanded to accommodate two
businesses. The building has been used for R + S Supply by Bob St. Onge, K + M Trailer Sales by The
Kierstead Family, and One Stop Auto Parts. By February 1981 it was purchased by Gerald Desrocher for
Ds Auto Body, a business which continues to this day under the management of his son, Scott.
Our first photo is compliments of the Jasper Family and the second was taken by the author. Both
photos are part of the Historical Society Collection.

Health Care in New Hampshire is Struggling under Obamacare

and Senator Shaheen Projects it will be Worse under Trumpcare
by Len Lathrop
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen was joined by Brendan Williams,
President and CEO of the New Hampshire Health Care Association
at Fairview Healthcare on Lowell Road Monday for a meeting to
discuss the current state of healthcare in New Hampshire.
Meeting in the dining room of Laurel Place, Fairviews traditional

added that New Hampshire has the second oldest population in the
nation and the third worse reimbursement rate.
Williams statement was This legislation would blow a hole, a
gigantic hole, in New Hampshires budget. The New Hampshire
Health Care Association provides education, advocacy and
communication services for health care entities in the state.

Senator Jeanne Shaheen and Brendan Williams at Fairview Healthcare discussion.
assisted living facility, Rich Leboeuf, Administrator of Fairview,
opened the discussion with some data about New Hampshire
and Medicare. He mentioned that New Hampshire Medicare
reimbursement rate is the third lowest among all the states.
Currently the Fairview facility loses $60 with every Medicare
patient in their care; Rich explained that revenues from the Inn and
Laurel place are used to balance the ledger.
Both the Senator and Williams were in agreement. Williams
mentioned that two facilities in NH have closed this year, and the
Senator posed that it will be worse if the plan currently before the
Senate, which needs 51 votes to pass, goes into effect. The Senator
reinforced the number that Rich had opened the meeting with and
Both roundtable leaders praised Gov. Chris Sununu for opposing
the health care bill.
While many at the event were the senior staffers from Fairview,
there were administrators from both Courville and Greenbriar
who joined in as the discussion focused more on the facilities
being unable to get staff to care for their patients, especially LNAs
(licensed nursing assistants); most were stating that the rate of pay
was the problem which is compounded by qualified applicants.
All three centers are working with different programs to get their
applicants licensed and into the workforce.
The roughly one-hour meeting ended with a request from the
Senator for everyone to reach out to legislators to defeat the bill.

Drug Abuse Prevention Forum Planned

by St. Kathryn Veterans Committee
submitted by Kelly Fraser
On July 29 from 5:30 to 7 p.m. at the St. Kathryn Parish Hall on 4
Dracut Rd. in Hudson, the St. Kathryn Veterans Committee is hosting
a drug abuse prevention forum. The forum will include a panel of
experts with representatives from the NH State Narcotics office,
Hudson Police Department, Hudson Fire Department, Regional
Access Point Services and the Greater Nashua Substance Misuse
Coordinator. The target audience is parents of children 10-18 years
old, but anyone interested in learning more about the serious drug
abuse problem in southern New Hampshire is invited. This forum
will educate parents on how to protect their children: how to
safeguard legal drugs and alcohol in the household, the warning
signs that a problem may be starting, and the other signs to watch for
in your home and neighborhood.
Drug-related deaths are increasing in southern NH at an alarming
rate. In 2015 drug related deaths had surpassed automobile
accidents as the leading cause of death in NH (Schreiber, NH
Sunday News, April 11, 2015) and our children are at increased
risk. Hudson Police Chief Lavoie referred to a heroin epidemic
(Robinson, Hudson~Litchfield News, July 17, 2015) in our area and
we need to protect our children from this epidemic. Illegal drugs
are flooding into southern NH in increasing amounts. The police are
working the issue hard and are having some success in interdicting
the supply with Operation Granite Hammer and other programs,
but we want to focus on the demand for drugs. If the demand for
drugs dries up the supply will go elsewhere. We want to protect our
children and crush the demand
- and its not just illegal drugs.
campaign.
These are the ages of greatest risk. Oftentimes a drug problem
will have its beginnings as early as early as age 10 with seemingly
innocent experimentation with legal drugs or alcohol. Any
drug misuse is extremely risky but in some cases it amounts to
nothing more than youthful experimentation. In other cases the
experimentation continues and increases and turns into a larger and
more dangerous problem with life-or-health-related consequences.
Why is the St. Kathryn Veterans Committee involved?
Were a service organization. Our members have served their
country and/or community throughout their lives and want to
continue this service. It has been demonstrated that when all sectors
of a community come together, social change happens. In the past
year we have held a total of five breakfasts at the Anne Marie House
in Hudson, Harbor Homes in Nashua and for the veterans at St.

Litchfield Police Seek Information
submitted by Litchfield Police Department
On July 6 at approximately 9:30 p.m., an officer
from the Litchfield Police Department observed
a motor vehicle operating erratically traveling
northbound on Charles Bancroft Highway in the
area of Robyn Avenue. The vehicle in question
was speeding and passing another motor vehicle
in a no passing zone. After passing the Litchfield
Police cruiser, the vehicle in question increased
speed and continued northbound towards
Manchester. The Litchfield patrol unit attempted
to conduct a motor vehicle stop of the vehicle;
however, the vehicle fled the area.
When checking the north end of town, patrol
units located a motor vehicle collision in the
negative contact as the operator had fled from the
scene of the crash.
The Litchfield Police Department then
conducted a thorough search with the assistance
of a New Hampshire State Police K-9 unit. After
checking the wooded area around the crash
location and surrounding neighborhoods, the
search was concluded.
In the early hours of July 7 at approximately
4 a.m., a patrol unit observed a male subject
walking along the northbound travel lane in the
proximity of the crash. The male subject was
waving a shirt and upon seeing the Police cruiser
the subject fled into the woods.

area of Watts Landing. Car debris was located
in the travel lane, and the guard rail along the
southbound side of the road had sustained serious
damage. An investigation ensued, and officers
located a Nissan Maxima down an embankment
with major damage to the vehicle. Efforts were
made to locate the operator of the vehicle with
an active investigation regarding the identification
of the operator of the vehicle. Anyone with any
information regarding the crash or identification
of the operator is encouraged to contact Sergeant
Tessier or Officer Flynn at 424-4047.

Hudson Democrats July Meeting

ALEC stands for American Legislative Exchange Council, otherwise known as ALEC, allows corporate
lobbyists to write legislation behind closed doors that is then introduced in State Houses across the country.
This model legislation is not drafted in response to any local interests or community concern, instead it is
intended solely to benefit the bottom line of special corporation interests - often at the expense of everyday
Granite Staters. The influence of ALEC corporate special interests in the New Hampshire State House is

Thumbs up to the Boot Camp at Darrah Pond
in Litchfield! I am new to this class and I felt
comfortable from the beginning! Everyone was so
nice and I was challenged but could also take a
break if needed. The instructor does a great job!
Happy I joined!
Thumbs down, way down, to the do-as-I-
say, not-as-I-do mentality. Thumbs down to the
supervisor that took three days bereavement when
his grandmother died and when his employees
grandmother passed the same supervisor ran to
HR questioning if the employee is entitled to three
days bereavement. You are a despicable human
being and a poor excuse of a boss. You should
not be in charge of people. A better supervising
position for you, supervising sneaky snakes like
yourself.
Thumbs down to unsolicited phone calls!
To the person asking about the 214-295-9608
repetitive calls, they are from a church called

and they are probably looking for more donations.
Use 800notes.com to find out who is calling. Just
type in the phone number. I use it all the time.

On June 25, the U15 Boys Team from the Hudson United Soccer Club placed second
in the NH State Finals after a hard-fought match against the undefeated Hampshire United
Team. Ranked third entering the semi-finals, the Hawks beat the Lakes Region Soccer
Club in a 3-0 shutout to advance to the finals. As expected, the final game was a battle
against a difficult opponent but Hudson didnt give up and kept it close with a final result
of 2-1 game. Reaching the finals was a bittersweet finish for this close-knit team with a
core group of players that have been together for eight years. Great job Hawks!

On May 27 at the Hudson Fish and Game Club, the
skies cleared for a perfect day for 15 of the regions
best to compete in the 2017 NH Conventional Position
Regional/State Championship. The 3 Position small bore
match consists of 40 shots in each of the three shooting
positions (Prone, Standing, Kneeling) at targets 50 yards
away following the NRA conventional small bore rules.
The young sub-junior Rio Ferguson of Northborough,
Mass., set the pace in the prone position with a perfect
score of 400-32xs. Rio wasnt the only one to shoot a
perfect score. Ricky Miller of Whitman, Mass., also shot
a 400 with 24xs. Rickys Hanson Junior Rifle teammate
Matt Lazarsky of Hanson, Mass., stayed close behind
with a 398-24x including one clean 200-12x target.
Elizabeth Dutton, Co-Captain of the Hudson Fish
and Game Club, also chalked up one clean target
of 200-17x, keeping pace with Lazarsky with a
397-32x.
In the standing match, where the better
shooters tend to separate from the field, a shakeup
occurred in the standings. The Sub-junior
Ferguson held a narrow lead shooting a 388-12,
but Dutton shot into second place with a 391-9x.
Kayley Pasko of Collinsville, Conn., shot the days

standing and 3 position aggregate scores he fired in this
