Pat Jewett by Laurie Jasper It is fair to state, if you live in Litcheld, New Hampshire, you know of Pat Jewett? More than likely, you have even met Pat Jewett. Pat hasnt simply resided in Litcheld for 62 years; she has truly lived a life of service for her beloved Litcheld. It was with a heavy heart, after experiencing recent health concerns that Pat, 85, decided it was time to resign from the Board of Selectmen. I resigned so that my position would be on the ballot. I did what I thought was the best for the people, said Pat, with emotion. Her resignation will be ofcial after the March 11 town elections. Pat was born in Raymond, NH but grew up in Derry, the youngest of three girls. We were poor, but just because youre poor you dont have to be stupid, said Pat in her own matter-of-fact style. Pat attended Lowell State, majoring in special education, and then went to Notre Dame in Manchester to be certied to teach in New Hampshire. Early on, Pat taught physical education in Nashua, traveling to seven schools. I taught outdoors until it snowed. Then I taught in the classrooms. Imagine teaching 40 rst graders to jump rope in their classroom, recalled Pat with a laugh. Pat substitute taught and cleaned houses while obtaining her degree. In addition, she was involved in PTO. Pat and her rst husband had two children before they divorced. Then, Pat met and married Will Jewett. They had two children together. Will and Pat were a true team, working together at various functions and projects in Litcheld until his death four years ago. I never could imagine a better husband than Will. I miss him so much. He enjoyed doing everything with me and he never said no, recalled Pat. Pat remembers when she rst became involved in politics. In 1952, I went to the Memorial Day supper, I made an apple pie, and the Hillsborough County Extension Services representative was there and asked me to join the conservation commission. Pat would go on to hold just about every ofce in the town, including library trustee, town trustee, budget committee member, recreation committee member, school board member and selectman. Ive been on every committee except the planning board, because Will was on the planning board. He really enjoyed that, and that was his place, said Pat. As part of the selectmens job as welfare agents, Pat directed the town welfare department for 22 years. Pat worked tirelessly to help those in need learn how to stretch a budget and eat healthy. I would go to their houses and buy the stuff and show them how to make the dinners. I made mine and taught them how to cook and shop. I brought my pots and pans along. I met some very nice people. I like helping people, I always have, said Pat. Litcheld Board of Selectman Vice Chairman Frank Byron knows rsthand how much Pat has done for the town over the years. Pat has been a constant in Litcheld. To see her leaving (the BOS) is a loss to the community, said Frank. In addition to her duties as selectman, Pat has put in countless hours on many projects that helped those in need. Pat gives a lot of her own resources time and money - to help. She helps supply new backpacks for kids and collects mittens, scarves and boots for needy kids. She also has helped kids, who have gotten into trouble, with their probationary work, helping continued to page 9- Jewett

Mals Pals Third Annual Cardboard Sled Race


submitted by Lori A. Bowen The Mals Pals have been hard at work over the last three years planning fun events and fundraisers to raise enough funds to build the amphitheater at Benson Park. The most exciting news is that it looks like this dream will become a reality this summer! One of the most fun activities is the cardboard sled race called the Hudson Cool Runnings. This is the third year and slated to be the best yet! The way this race works is each of the sleds starts at the top of the racing hill and the maker has to slide down the hill in their homemade sled. There are always spills and turns and lots of laughs watching these homemade sleds debut on the hill. Each year the sleds become more creative in looks and style. In past years, there has been a replica of the old woman in the shoe; a coffee cup and even ip-ops have made their way down to the nish line. Before the race in a sort of racing pregame, you can tour the sleds, look under the aps and kick the duct tape. Check out the sweet pin striping and wish you had thought of that awesome detail of real working headlights! Not to mention that the colors of sleds come in the blackest of black to the brightest of reds and yellows. Now the biggest question, what is your sled this year going to look like? Maybe you are thinking a snowake to slide down or an animal to sit inside of? Either way the Mals Pals hope you join in and make a sled, or come to watch all the creative minds that did race their beauties to the nish. Anyone interested in participating in this years Hudson Cool Runnings and showing off their cardboard building sled skills, should report to Benson Park in Hudson on Sunday, February 23. continued to page 7- Mals Race

by AJ Dickinson The Alvirne Friends of Music hosted their eighth annual Pasta Palooza this past Saturday, February 15 at the AHS cafeteria. The Italian themed fundraiser gives 100 percent of the proceeds back to the schools music program to help out with everything from purchasing instruments to deferring costs of trips that the bands will take. With over a quarter of the schools population participating in the music program, this fundraiser directly affects over 300 students in a positive manner. Upon entering the cafeteria, the rst thing one noticed was the elaborate Italian transformation that had taken place. The Alvirne High School jazz band serenaded the elegantly lit cafeteria as attendants were seen eating pasta donated by T-Bones. Any student that was interested in helping in the school event found himself or herself as a waiter or waitress serving the guests. The classy fundraiser, which has come to be known as a tradition at Alvirne High School, was both successful and fun for all who attended.

Conservation Commission Seeks Public Input on Trail Projects


submitted by James Battis, Hudson Conservation Commission The Hudson Conservation Commission will be seeking public input on potential trail projects at a conservation land trails workshop. The workshop will be held on Thursday, February 27 at 7 p.m. in the Ann Seabury conference room at the Hudson Police Station located at 1 Constitution Drive. The purpose of the workshop will be to collect, prioritize, and schedule possible trail maintenance and construction efforts for the upcoming work season. Over the past several years, volunteers have been conducting daylong trail clean up events at the Musquash conservation lands off Musquash Road. They have also completed several new hiking trails at Musquash and at the Hudson town forest off Kimball Hill Road. In addition, Boy Scout Eagle candidates have worked on other projects at Musquash, including: the creation of new trails, construction of a new kiosk at the parking area and creation of a system of trail signs. A newly developed map of trails in the Musquash conservation land, assembled by the Nashua Regional Planning Commission staff for the conservation commission, will be on display for public input before being published on the town website. A primary goal of the conservation commission is to build on these past efforts by developing ideas to enhance the public use of these properties. Among the topics that will be discussed are plans for new trails on Hudsons conservation lands, possible locations of additional kiosks and historical markers and the contents for the kiosks and markers.

The Word Around Town...


Letters to our Editor
Respect Needs to Go Beyond Basketball
When you come to HMS to play as part of a team, when it is not your teams time on the court, this does not mean its time to roam the halls of the school. Further, it does not mean pound on the doors of the multi-purpose room because its fun to bother the class in session there. Playing basketball for a team is more than just tossing a ball through a hoop. Its about teamwork, its about skill, and its about integrity. Its also about respect. These are traits that are as an integral part of the game as learning to dribble. They should also be traits you carry out into the World, beyond the lines of the court. What you boys did went beyond being disrespectful. Having led to not once but twice being chased down is embarrassing. We come to HMS for our class and would appreciate being left to our business. We deserve that respect and shouldnt have to ask. Your parents would be shamed by your behavior and I wonder how long youd be permitted to play if they knew. Oh, and by the way - the woman who chased you? Shes a black belt, as were three others in the room Saturday. And as for the rest of us - we are their students. So think on that before you pound on another door for fun. Keith Berson, Hudson payers as well and, as such, under our current form of government, have been elected by us to work out what they feel is best for our community. Most of the time, this comes down to the almighty dollar. While they do their best to be conservative, the idea that expenses would remain unchanged - let alone decrease - is just not realistic. They enter into every budget season with many challenges: taxpayer requests, building repair, government mandates, department requests and collective bargaining agreements. We, as tax payers, must hold ourselves responsible for the upkeep of our community. We have heard the terms pay now or pay later and you get what you pay for. Yes, the bill is going up, and not passing articles at the ballot will have a profoundly negative impact on the value of our community, our homes, and the quality of life to which Hudson residents have come accustom. Remember what we get for our tax dollar and, also, what the budgets encompass: great schools, Fire, EMS, Police, Highway, roads, street lights, trash pick-up, parks, library, recreation, place to register your vehicles, the beach at the pond, a beautiful new senior center and the list goes on Some of these are emergency services that are available and active 24/7, providing citizens with priceless piece of mind. Be an educated voter. The information is available on the town and school websites, and, if you still have questions, contact the respective department, union, or Town Official. I am certain you will get answers. Hudson has, without question, the best value for your dollar! I urge you to support both your town and school on March 11, Hudson Community Center, 12 Lions Ave., 7 a.m.-8 p.m. Derek Desrochers, Hudson a popular work of fiction, a movie on DVD, something for your eReader, or an audio book, the library has access to it. Plus, there always are books for sale on the perpetual book sale shelf on the lower level of the library. Need to work on a project? The library has computers available to the public and also provides free Wi-Fi 24/7. Looking for a little something to do? Check out the museum passes that are available. If you havent been to the Aaron Cutler Memorial Library recently, you should stop by and check it out. Im hoping youll fall in love with your library also. Michele Pesula-Kuegler, President, Friends of the Aaron Cutler Memorial Library, Litchfield Secondly, I would like to address the issue of the proposed new teachers union contract. First of all, the teachers have not had a new contract for two years. One of the interesting ramifications of this is that the only way for a presently employed teacher to get a raise is to resign and get rehired. For example a teacher with seven years experience is now being paid at the level of five years experience. If that person resigned and was rehired at the seven years level he or she would realize an increase of $3,035. Pretty ridiculous situation I think. The only part of the proposed new teacher contract that is on the ballot is the salary increases. This only tells one part of the contract. It is proper that this is the only part of the contract on the ballot, but it does not tell the whole story. What you dont see on the ballot are the concessions that the teachers have made in order to reduce cost in other areas. Everyone should be aware that health insurance costs are on the rise. The only uncertainty is just how much they will increase. The teachers have agreed to adjustments in their health benefits that will help to minimize these increases. Another very significant concession the teachers have made is in the area who will be kept on and who will be terminated in the event of any reductions in staffing. Current trends have been a reduction in student population thus reducing the number of teachers needed. Under the proposed new contract the teachers have agreed to changes that will give the School District the ability to retain a highly qualified, non-tenured teacher rather than being forced to retain a tenured teacher whose qualifications are not as good. In the history of union negotiations, this is a huge concession. The new contract will assure that Litchfield has a competitive compensation package certainly not the highest that will enable us to continue to attract quality teachers and retain the excellent ones we already are fortunate to have. It simply is not realistic to think that we can effectively and safely operate our town and schools without some degree of increase in overall costs. Vehicles and equipment wear out and incur maintenance costs. The prices of the necessities needed to operate keep going up. Just like in our own households. To my knowledge there is no one on the School Board, Budget Committee or Board of Selectmen that is not just as concerned as the rest of us with the amount of taxes they have to pay. They have put in a lot of their personal time to develop reasonable budgets. Please think carefully not selfishly about your vote on March 11. Philip M. Reed, Litchfield

Hudson Girls Softball League Needs Your Help


Have you or a loved one, played, coached, volunteered or assisted in the Hudson Girls Softball League (HGSL)? If so we want to know about it. We are asking all Hudson residents to assist us in celebrating our ??? season anniversary. Our problem is we are unsure what anniversary year we should celebrate. Maybe you have pictures? Memorabilia? Uniforms? Articles? Or you know a family member that may have originated our league? Please help us honor the founding members and volunteers that dedicated their time and effort to the success of our organization. Our records go back to 1983; however, evidence shows we might have been originated before the 1980s. Please help us give the HGSL a history to honor, and an Anniversary to Celebrate.

A Prayer for Nicole


I read the story about Nicole Jacques illness in last weeks HLN. Here is a prayer for you, Nicole. If anyone wants to join me in believing, please join in. Dear Father God, bless you. In the Holy name of Jesus I (we) come to you Lord God for the healing of Nicole Jacques. By your power, Holy Spirit, I (we) ask you that you completely heal Nicole from liver cancer. That you, Lord Jesus, breathe new life into her lungs. I (we) pray that you stop the advancement of this cancer that our adversary has attempted to cause her harm. Thank you, Heavenly Father, for your great love. In the name of Jesus we declare healing for Nicole. Please read Acts 10:34-38 what Apostle Peter wrote about Jesus. Its still true today. Jerry Desmarais, Hudson

February is Love Your Library Month


Do you love your library? I know I do. When I returned to Litchfield 14 years ago, I was hesitant to see what this small library could offer my young children and me. Having moved from a bigger city with a much bigger library, I was prepared to be underwhelmed. What I learned on my first visit and continue to see every time I visit the ACML is that it is a library that is much bigger than it seems. Have some free time? The variety of programs that are offered astound me- starting with story time for babies and working through the ages to book discussion groups for adults. Plus, there are many other programs offered to patrons, including guest speakers, authors, crafting nights, and much more. Looking for something to read? It comes in all forms and formats at the ACML. Whether youre looking for

Think Carefully About Your Vote


I would suggest that before you vote on March 11 at the Town and School District elections you make sure that you cast your ballot based on accurate and complete information. First of all, contrary to what was previously published in the HLN, the projected impact on taxes by proposed combined Town and School District budgets is not $1,200 on a house assed at $300,000. The actual impact is only about $295! Considering the inflationary trends in the costs of things that must be purchased such as fuel, health insurance, etc. this sounds like a pretty good deal to me.

Invest in Your Town (Part 1)


I would first like to thank the various Boards and Town Officials, of which you could call Volunteers for the minor stipend some receive for their tireless effort, care and concern. These members are tax

A Special Treat for Hudson Seniors


by Lori A. Bowen, Hudson Senior Services Coordinator With all this snow we have missed our friends who dont get out much during the snow and cold. Dont worry we are here and saving a space for you. Being careful and cautious of the weather and road conditions during the storm is certainly understandable. Just know we are thinking about you and cant wait for you to come back and see us! I have exciting news about the new center! The kitchen is being installed; there is a beautiful stove and all the stainless steel gleams from the lights. The electricity is on and working. The lights are in the cupolas and send a beacon out over the town at night. Just drive down Route 111 and you can see them shining. There have been signicant installations such as the ceiling tiles, lights and ooring. Not everything is done, but enough that the interior is really taking shape. We are planning on being up and running by May, so plan on the snow going away and a whole new world of activities to get involved in to open up! There will be more information to follow in a few weeks on how to register for the new center and all the activities that are going to be offered. As we get closer to the opening I want to take a moment to recognize all of the people who have given so selessly of their time and energy over the past umpteen years to see this project built. We are almost there! Dont forget you can watch the Senior Affairs Committee the third Wednesday of the month at 7:30 p.m. on Comcast channel 22. This will keep you up to date on all the happenings and progress of the senior center. A big thank you goes out to Tom Michaud who has been obtaining information for us about a billiard table for the new center. This will be a focal point of the center, so sharpen up on your skills! A group has started on Tuesday mornings to play Whist, the card game. If you are interested in playing Whist please join us around 9:30.

Arrow of Light submitted by Darlene Coyle On Sunday, February 9, Hudson Cub Scout Pack 20 held their annual Blue and Gold banquet at the VFW in Hudson. Family and friends gathered to celebrate the boys from Den 7 earning their Arrow of Light award which is the highest honor a Cub Scout can earn. This award also represents the conclusion of their journey through Cub Scouts and marks the beginning of their journey in Boy Scouts. Drew, Alex, Matt, Connor, Justin and Cooper collectively earned over 200 awards in their years as Cub Scouts. The boys and their parents decorated the Hudson VFW and cooked a pasta and meatball dinner for all to enjoy. After the meal, the boys received their Arrow of Light award and then crossed over a ceremonial bridge to join the Boy Scouts. Finally, everyone enjoyed dessert followed by an animal show.

Kiwanis Fishing Derby Nets Huge Crowd


submitted by Mike Falzone The cold temperatures and blowing snow gave way to bright sunshine as over 170 area residents took part in the Hudson Kiwanis 28th Annual Fishing Derby on Robinson Pond Sunday. The derby was open to both children and adults. Prizes were awarded based on the catch of perch, pickerel, bass, and other. We had great support from the community again this year, according to Jim Woolsey, Event Organizer for the Hudson Kiwanis. We had over 170 people take part in this years event and prizes donated from about 15 local businesses. The group was able to raise approximately $600 through proceeds. Participants began registering at 7 a.m. and then trekked out onto Robinson Pond with snowmobiles, bob houses, ATVs and even pickup trucks. Its good to see the impact this event has on participants, Woolsey said. Each child got a ribbon to go with their badge and the kids love it. We gave out over 20 trophies and we have some diehard ice shers that come every year. Woolsey commented on the success of the program, We dont do it for the money; its something to get people out. We had participants from as far south as Boston and as far north as Durham. It really brings the people out and they enjoy some family fun.

Arrest Made in Stabbing Incident, Suspect Charged with Assault and Armed Robbery
submitted by Hudson Police Department On Friday, February 7, at 9:30 a.m., the Hudson Police Department arrested Joshua J. McKinnon, 32, of Derry on an outstanding Hudson police warrant. McKinnon is being charged with two counts of rst degree assault and one count of armed robbery. The charges are stemming from an investigation conducted by the Hudson Police Departments criminal investigation division. The facts of the case are the following: On Tuesday, January 28, Hudson detectives were called out to investigate a stabbing which occurred off of Bockes Road, where a male subject and a female subject had been stabbed by an unknown assailant. The male victim had sustained injuries to his neck and hands, while the female victim had sustained injuries to her face. Both were transported to the Southern New Hampshire Medical Center where they received treatment for their wounds. Through further investigation, detectives were able to obtain an arrest warrant for McKinnon. McKinnon eventually turned himself into the Hudson Police Department, where he was processed in accordance with department policy and procedure. Bail was set at $50,000 cash.

About That Toothbrush


Wait! Before you lather up the toothbrush you bought on sale 3 years ago, take a minute to learn some facts that will help you become a better and more informed brusher. Any toothbrush you have used for more than 3 or 4 months is history, as far as its ability to fight plaque is concerned. Plaque is a thin, colorless film of bacteria that constantly forms on your teeth. If it is not removed, plaque can lead to tooth decay and gum disease. A worn-out toothbrush cannot effectively clean off that plaque. Also, bent or broken bristles can injure your gums. Although individuals vary in how quickly they wear out a new toothbrush, generally your toothbrush is maximally effective for about one season. If you replace your brush each summer, autumn, winter, and spring, it will always be up-to-date in plaque fighting effectiveness -never part of history.

Origins of the Winter Olympics


Every four years, athletes and sporting enthusiasts gather to participate in the Winter Olympics, overseen by the International Olympic Committee. Although in recent years the winter games stagger with the Summer Olympics every two years, these two events were once combined into one Olympic games. Beforehand, the winter games ceased to exist. The rst time winter sports were included in the Olympic games was in 1924 in Chamonix, France. Prior to that, individuals had presented the idea for winter games to be included, but the IOC wasnt sure the inclusion would protect the integrity of the games in general. Also, there were concerns over a lack of facilities for winter sports. Eventually, the IOC decided that the host nation of the 1924 Summer Olympics would host a separate International Winter Sports Week. The competition proved to be a success, with 50 athletes from 16 nations competed in 16 events. The following year, in 1925, the IOC decided that winter events should be made in their own separate Olympic Winter Games. The last winter games to be held took place in 2010 in Vancouver. The next winter games will occur in Sochi, Russia --making this the rst time a Russian city will host the Winter Olympics. To date there are seven categories of Winter Olympic sports. These include biathlon, skating, luge, skiing, ice hockey, curling, and bobsleigh. There are several subsets within sleighing and skiing. According to the IOC, for a sport to make it onto the Olympic roster, it must be administered by an International Federation, which ensures that the sports activities follow the Olympic Charter. If it is widely practiced around the world and meets a number of criteria established by the IOC session, a recognized sport may be added to the Olympic programme on the recommendation of the IOCs Olympic Programme Commission. A sports popularity may or may not play a role in its inclusion on the Olympic program. Although the Olympics have been watched and celebrated for decades, the inclusion of winter games is a relatively recent phenomenon.

Keep Kids Occupied During Winter Break


Winter break can be the perfect respite for schoolaged children. Although not quite halfway through the school year, the timing of winter break does come when kids might be preoccupied with the holiday season and all that comes with it. Kids may be distracted about parties and presents, but parents maybe preoccupied with nding ways their kids can spend their time during winter break -- a typically two-week hiatus from school that begins shortly before Christmas and ends with kids return to school shortly after New Years Day. Parents facing the dilemma of nding something for kids to do during winter break should consider the following tips. * Take a vacation. Vacation is the easy way out. Winter break might mark the only time until summer that parents can spend quality time with their kids completely away from the distractions of everyday life. Vacation can mean a trip to warmer climates or simply packing up the car to go spend time with the grandparents. If theres any vacation time to spare, consider hitting the road. * Teach kids some practical lessons. Kids likely wont miss the classroom during winter break, but that doesnt mean there arent enjoyable ways for kids to learn while theyre away from school. Teach kids practical lessons, like how to cook a favorite meal or how to x things around the house. This gives parents a chance to spend some quality time with their kids while encouraging kids to learn beyond the classroom. And who knows, such lessons at home may uncover a childs hidden talent. * Encourage kids to read for pleasure. Reading improves vocabulary and can stimulate a childs imagination. During the winter break, encourage kids to read a book or the daily newspaper for pleasure, assuring them there wont be any quizzes or tests after each chapter. Get the ball rolling with a few books given as presents during Christmas or Chanukah. Or take a trip to the local library and let kids choose their own books. * Soak up some snow. Parents who work from home can liven up the day during winter break by heading outside with the kids to build a snowman or have a snowball ght. Moms and Dads will enjoy the break from work while kids get some fun in the snow. courtesy photo the crowd after receiving a standing ovation, encouraging people to get involved in their community and help people who need it. Be rm, fair and fun, encouraged Pat. Since announcing her intent to retire, Pat has received numerous notes, letters, owers, phone calls and even food. I dont know what Id do without my friends. Whatever you give comes back to you tenfold, said Pat. Despite health concerns slowing her down a bit, Pat has assured people she will continue to do what she is able, which will include helping more at Community Church. Age may be slowing her down, but I guarantee shell stay involved, Frank said condently. Its not how old you are, but what you have in your heart, said Pat. Im planning to be at the polls March 11th, to do my job (as an election ofcial), to greet people and say thank you. You dont know how much Ive enjoyed this, Pat said. Thank you, Pat Jewett, for your service to Litcheld.

them to turn things around. She has organized care packages for servicemen overseas, held Pear Harbor Days and got World War II veteran plaques. She focuses on the people, a little bit different than most selectmen. The town will be poorer for her leaving the board, Frank said. Pats daughter Nancy Morey said, My mother is a unique person. She gives so much of herself. She has done a remarkable job and is the most generous person. She truly loves Litcheld. At Litchelds Town deliberative session on February 1, the gathering paused to recognize Pat Jewett. Chairman of the Board of Selectman John Brunelle gave Pat a plaque: Presented to M. Patricia Jewett in recognition of the three decades of service to the Town of Litcheld, with gratitude, the Litcheld Board of Selectmen, February 1, 2014. John pointed out that, although Pat is a frugal person, she has never been frugal about her time. Shes given tirelessly to this town and deserves all the thanks we can give her, said John. A humbled Pat addressed

Upon arrival, the ofcers determined that a 2005 Ford focus, driven by Ronald Cocolin, 72, of Plaistow, was traveling west on Central Street when a 2007 Ronald Cocolin Acura MDX, driven by Jamie Senesi, 39, of Hudson, pulled out of 222 Central Street and collided with Cocolins vehicle. Both drivers were wearing their seatbelts and the airbag in Cocolins vehicle deployed. There were no reported injuries and no other passengers in the vehicles.

submitted by David S. Morin, HFD Public Information Liaison Hudson reghters provided lifesaving training for the residents of Buttercup Hill. The training certied 12 residents in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), including using an automated external debrillator (AED). Fireghters provided this training free of charge. Cardiac death is one of the number one killers of people across the country. The CPR/AED training really serves a dual purpose. The residents are learning how to save themselves. Also, early CPR and treatment with an AED makes the chances of survival much greater. When presented with the chance to help the Buttercup residents, the Hudson Fire Department didnt think twice. Several of the departments members are certied to teach CPR and immediately stepped up to instruct the course. Hudson reghters were thrilled for the opportunity to expand their services to the town. Giving back to the community in such a direct way, such as providing CPR skills to our citizens, supports the re departments mission of keeping Hudson a heart safe community. Volunteering our services to train those we serve day in and day out is a win-win for the community and the reghters.

Our mission is to provide comprehensive, state-of-the-art dental care to our patients in a comfortable atmosphere for a reasonable fee. We stress preventative dental care to help maintain your teeth for a

lifetime.

Thumbs Up?
Thumbs up to LMS for the bullying education program with John Halligan. This had a huge impact on my kids and made for some great conversations. I appreciate the way LMS is deliberate about keeping our kids safe and informed! Keep up the great work! Thumbs down to the owners of the two white Huskies. I have seen them running loose on numerous occasions over the past few months. The other day I noticed both of them out when one almost got hit by a car. I am not sure who they belong to but please restrain your dogs before they get hurt or cause an accident. It would be a shame all the way around. Remember there is a leash law in Litcheld for a reason. leading by example, never giving up and showing that the underdog can come out on top! Thumbs down to the Hudson school system. When I went to school 10 years ago, teachers made $14 an hour and they went above and beyond to not only teach academics but to teach children the importance of staying in school and going to college. As a result most of the students had good careers after college. Our Hudson teachers need to understand as public servants, it is their duty to serve the public well and raise the bar on our poor education standards. Not ask for praise and raises when they do not deserve it.

Thumbs Down?
wonderful husband, family and all of my fantastic friends that have been helping me the past few weeks since my fall. I cant begin to thank you enough. From Laura going to the hospital with us right at the start, to the food, caring, owers, Suesitting, eld trips and constant friendship! I am so blessed to have you all in my life. Thumbs down to the driver of the red Dodge pickup with a cap at Hills Garrison. We all waited in line to drop off our kid safely, and you pass everyone, to throw your kids out at the front door, into trafc. Please be more considerate and careful. Thumbs up to Hudson PPW. This has been a tough winter with storms, and Hudson roads are noticeably better than all our surrounding towns. Nice job guys. Thumbs down to Golds Gym in Hudson for constantly changing their membership rates. Shouldnt the price remain the same each month?

pay step increase for all town employees. This needs to stop. A couple years ago our town had $400K in left over yearly taxes and they decided against giving it back to the redundants. Our school system has an almost $40M surplus/general fund. Last year town/school employees were given raises without voter consent and our property taxes went up to 0.61 against voters votes for no tax increases last year. This has to stop. Vote no on contract warrant articles and our budget articles. Thumbs up. My wife and I recently moved to Litcheld and nd the Thumbs Column one of the most entertaining and informing parts of the paper. Much more relevant than a story about a man cave. Thumbs up the parents of HMS students. Thank you so much for submitting Box Tops for Education. We have already raised a good amount of money for the school. Please keep them coming! Thumbs up the teachers at HMS that are constantly supporting their students outside of contract time. It is awesome seeing you at the games and events. Thumbs up to the Highway Dept. for keeping the sidewalks very well plowed. I am a resident of MissionPointe on Lowell Road and I walk to the Market Basket quite frequently and the sidewalks are always very well cleared. Thumbs down to mailboxes getting plowed over! Make sure your reector is visible so it doesnt happen to you. Thumbs down to the high price of cupcakes at the new bakery in Hudson. That better be the best darn cupcake I ever ate. Where are we, in New York City?

Thumbs up to Bryan DeCinto. Litcheld Middle School lost a great teacher and a fantastic coach. All the kids in the classroom and on the eld/ court miss you and wish you the best! Thumbs up to the family that gave me a ride when my car got stuck in a snow bank, you made my day!

Thumbs up. Finally, the Republican Party is coming to its senses. They are weeding out the tea party and folks like the coat brothers who support them. We are a capitalistic country dealing with socialism. We will never be a plutocracy government that the tea party is thriving for in all their agendas. Now we can be a two party system again, without hidden agendas. It may be too late, and Republicans may have to wait until Hilary completes her two terms, but its better than never. Thumbs up to Sandy. I lost my pocketbook yesterday in the parking lot at Market Basket. When I went back to nd it, I couldnt nd it. When I got home, I looked for it and it was right in front of my door. Sandy left it there. Id like to thank her and tell her that shes an angel in my book. Thank you. Thumbs up/Thumbs down. For those who are aware, there are currently 179 homes in Hudson for sale, and approximately 1/3 of those are being foreclosed on. The taxpayers in Hudson are being ripped off by the schools. The schools are killing this town. Just ask those people that are losing their houses, taxes gone up so much in the past ten years. Voters, the answer in March is no, no, no. Thumbs down regardless of whether we have Snoopy year round, I would like to know where Woodstock is? How can you possibly have Snoopy without Woodstock? Thumbs down to the visually impaired, mechanically challenged Hudson snowplow driver who didnt miss one mailbox, driveway reector, or stretch of grass. You even splintered the new telephone pole. And I have a question for thumbs, this is a thumbs question. Do snowplow drivers get paid hourly, or by the number of mailboxes and lawns they destroy? Thumbs down to the administration at AHS for allowing parents to threaten coaches without consequences. Way to hold people accountable for their actions. Thumbs down to AHS principal for having zero control of the high school. Just a recommendation: dont lie to everyone just to make friends, it doesnt work! Thumbs down to the AD at AHS doing push-ups and jumping into the fans like you were at a rock concert when your team is getting their teeth kicked in by 30 pts is the most embarrassing thing Ive seen in a long time. Thumbs up. A huge thumbs up to the ambulance crew from Burns Hill that picked me off the oor of my garage and took me to the hospital. Your courtesy and professional attitude helped to make a bad situation bearable. Im sorry I said I was sorry so many times!

Thumbs up to Coach DeCinto! As our coach we just wanted you to know we appreciated all the sacrices you made. You have helped us grow as a team and as individuals. We have learned that hard work really does pay off. You have been our biggest fan during our most triumphant times and our rock when we fell short of our goal. We can only hope that we have touched your life as profoundly as you have touched ours! Thanks again from ALL your Lady Raiders! Thumbs up to KB and all you do for Litcheld and the Litcheld Recreation Commission. Great job again on Winterfest! Thumbs up to the Hudson Police Department and our good neighbor Rick Sharland! My wife and I were away on a mini vacation when the big snow storm hit last Thursday. The car of a friend of our sons was stuck (battery had died and it was snowed in) on the side of the road in the way of the snow plows. The police came by to check out the situation and talked to one of our sons, asking if he knew how to run our snowblower, which he did not. The police ofcer helped my son get the snowblower going and showed him how to use it so that he could clear the snow around the car and create a spot for the car to park off the road. Then our neighbor Rick Sharland boosted the car and hauled it out of the snowbank with his ATV. So, Thank You, Hudson Police Department and Rick Sharland. What a great town we live in! The Baileys. Thumbs up to Cardboard Sled Races! I had so much fun making and racing my sled with my kids! Cant wait until 2/23 for the next race at Benson Park! Thumbs down. Reading the comments made at the Hudson Deliberative Session recently, the political establishment is banging the drums in support of a pay increase for town workers. They havent had an increase in four years is the refrain. The problem is many of us in the private sector havent had a raise either. In fact many of us have either lost our jobs or had a pay cut. I lost my job and am now working for 30% less that I was four years ago. How many town employees are working for 30% less? None Im sure. Vote No on any pay increases. Thumbs down to the United States Post Ofce mail delivery in my part of Hudson - rst off I very rarely get my mail prior to 5 p.m. - sometimes as late as 6:30 p.m. If it is going to be this late, might as well change to every other day. Also - whatever happened to Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds? If we get more than a dusting, we dont get mail. You would think that the USPS would try harder since their relevance is continually shrinking - I guess not.

Please donate them as they can be an eyesore for the rest of the neighborhood. Please respect and recycle. Thumbs up to the HMS Lady Colts basketball team for a wonderful season! With only three returning players, you started out a group of girls who hadnt played together before but quickly became a team and a family. You made your school, parents and community proud showing everyone along the way why hard work, determination and desire pay off. This Vince Lombardi quote sums up your season: The measure of who we are is what we do with what we have and you girls proved that on the court all season long. Congratulations to Coach Girginis and all the members of the team for

Thumbs down to the Town of Hudson School Board. The boat being steered by Hudson residents has seen troubled waters before. Only difference is were headed in the right direction, determined to reach out destination. We have taken the path less traveled, even if it has Ice bergs. Hudson residents and voters will nd their way around and to the truth. Do you think our 20 million surplus is fair and near 40 million for the HSD? Vote this March to keep Hudson headed in the right direction. Thumbs up to Hudson Highway for a great job plowing during that heavy wet mess. One of the few communities to have school on Friday thanks to you! Thumbs up to the huge snowman on Lowell Road! We love it! Thumbs up to snow days ... I love spending them with my great kids, Lily and Jack! Thumbs down to the town/ school board asking for a combined $800-$1,000 a year tax increase. No one is getting a pay increase. Residents are taking pay cuts, unemployed, or on a xed income. Now the town is going to spend $15K of our $20M surplus in to trying to increase their prots. We still dont know the percent or tax impact of the

The Tax Return The Income Tax Return

Hudson~Litchfield Sports
by Phillip Nichols Led by Zach Bergeon with 20 points, the Campbell Cougars controlled Mascenic Regional High School handily, with a 61-38 win on the road on February 4. The Cougars continue their defensive dominance over opponents and continue their winning ways offensively, while at the same time remaining disciplined.

Over the past two years, there has been much to say about the tax code, changes to the tax code and bills proposed to amend the tax code. For taxpayers to better understand how these code changes affect them, I feel that a dissection of the ling tax Form 1040 is required so that certain terms that are used will be thoroughly understood. The most important terms to understand is the difference between total (gross) income, adjusted gross income (AGI) and taxable income. If you take a look at a Form 1040, the lines 7-21 (appropriately labeled Income) is the area where you enter in all of your various taxable income items. Some income line entries require having additional forms, tax schedules or worksheets completed to arrive at the net income to be entered on these lines. For instance a self employed individual has to complete SCH. C, and possibly a depreciation, auto expense, business use of home or inventory worksheet to arrive at the net income to be entered on line 12. Line 22 is the summation of all of the income entries and appropriately titled your total income (gross income). Lines 23-35 are for adjustments (deductions) allowed for all qualifying taxpayers under current tax law. These adjustments are summarized on line 36 and then subtracted from your total income (line 22) to arrive at what is known as your Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) on line 37. (The term AGI will be used throughout many of these articles and is a qualifying factor used in determining many credits and deductions that have phase-out limits based upon the AGI.) Once the AGI is established, you are allowed to subtract either a standard deduction, based upon your ling status, (single, head of household, married ling joint) or if it is more benecial, you can itemize qualifying deductions. You will itemize if the sum of these deductions will exceed the allowed standard deduction. Itemizing deductions will be covered in depth in a future article. (Note: Determining ling status is usually a straight forward procedure for most individuals. However the rules regulating the head of household or qualifying widow(er) status can become a tad more time consuming. Maintaining a home/apartment without a qualifying child or relative does not qualify a taxpayer as a head of household) Once you have subtracted the standard or itemized deduction from your AGI total, you are now allowed to subtract a personal exemption for each qualifying person claimed in the exemption section (Lines 6a through 6d) of the Form 1040. An exemption is allowed for each person you can claim as a dependent on the return as well as for yourself and spouse if married. (Note: A very specic criterion is required to be met under the rules for a qualifying child or qualifying relative to enable you to claim an individual as your dependent.) (The amount of income to be subtracted for exemptions and standard deductions are usually adjusted for ination each year). The income left after the subtractions of the standard/itemized deductions and personal exemptions is your taxable income. Next week, we will explain the makeup of the Tax Rate Schedule and how the tax tables used to determine tax owed on the taxable income is calculated. Next week: The Tax Rate Schedule

by Phillip Nichols On Sunday, February 8, the Cougars wrestling team traveled to Franklin High School and competed in the Twin River wrestling tournament, hosted by the Franklin High School Tornadoes.

Hudson Recreation Basketball Celebrates Barbara Hamilton Day


submitted by Dave Yates, Recreation Director Week 5 Hudson- 2-21 On Sunday, February 9, the players, coaches and parents of Hudson Recreation Basketball celebrated Barbara Hamilton Day. This day is to remember past Recreation Director, Barbara, for her tireless efforts on behalf of the children of Hudson. She always stressed sportsmanship, playing hard and having fun. Memorial and Nottingham West School were busy with foul shooting contests and Recreational All-Star Games. There was a great display of fouling shooting throughout each divisions contests. The winners of the contests were: 3rd/4th Grade Girls: rst, Julindy Emerson; second, Sophia Cutuli 3rd/4th Grade Boys: rst, Cameron Cote; second, Tim Cronin 5th/6th Grade Girls: rst, Hannah Ryner; second, Emma Ryner 5th/6th Grade Boys: rst, Gregory Fallon; second, Matthew Fitzpatrick 7th/8th Grade Girls: rst, Liz White; second, Vanessa Tran 7th/8th Grade Boys: rst, Cody Fullmer; second, Oliver Thomas The Recreational All-Star Games consisted of players from each intramural team. These players were selected by their coaches to represent their team based on talent, dedication and sportsmanship. The games were very competitive and entertaining. The many family and friends in attendance were enthusiastic and appreciative of the effort shown by all the players. A special part of the day was the presentation of the Hank Center Award. Hank was another person who showed tireless effort in many capacities in youth sports and stressed sportsmanship to all. This award is given to an eighth grade girl and boy who show dedication to his or her team, consistently attends practices and games and has shown the highest level of sportsmanship toward teammates, other players, coaches and referees. Plaques were presented to the winners. The winners of this years award were Katherine Callery and Mason McGovern. Two special awards were also presented. Both awards were based on outstanding sportsmanship, dedication and showing a positive attitude. Parent of the Year was awarded to Mary Linnehan. Coach of the Year was awarded to Terry Watterson. I would like to thank John Brower, Frank Girginis and the many families, friends and coaches in attendance and everyone that helped during the day. Without everyones effort and support, our recreational programs could not be the success that they are.

Broncos Drop Two against D-I Elite

Hudson~Litchfield Sports
Staff photos by Marc Ayotte

Alvirnes Danny Brown takes the rock to the basket in action versus Trinity. by Marc Ayotte It was a rough week for the Alvirne boys basketball team as they played back-to-back games against the best that Division I has to offer. At home on February 11, the Broncos fell to number two ranked Trinity (13-1) by the score of 85-51. On the following Tuesday, Alvirne made the short trek to Londonderry where they stayed with their hosts for most of the rst half but ended up succumbing to the third ranked Lancers (13-2) by a nal score 5939. Against the visiting Pioneers, a Danny Brown AND 1 gave the Broncos fans a lot to cheer about early on as they grabbed a 7-2 lead just 1:28 after the opening tap. After Trinitys fast pace offense tied the score at eight apiece, a George Notini steal and hoop started a Broncos 5-0 run which culminated with a D. Brown triple that put AHS ahead 13-8 with 3:17 left in the rst quarter. But, for the remainder of the quarter as well as rst half, it was all Trinity. The Pioneers closed out the rst on a 14-2 spurt to lead 22-15. They then outscored the Broncos by 11 in the second stanza and held a 40-22 lead heading into the intermission. Tyler Brown opened up the third quarter with a dunk to give the Broncos faithful a glimmer of hope. But Trinitys Carmen Giampertuzzi answered quickly with a three pointer, staking his Andrew Wetmore scores a pair in the Broncos road loss at Londonderry. Tyler Janko gets fouled as he goes up strong to the hoop in a home game against the Pioneers. team to its biggest lead of the night. The Pioneers increased the cushion to 23 points, at 51-28 before Alvirne showed signs of life, outscoring Trinity 9-4 over the last two and a half minutes to trim its decit to 55-37 going into the nal eight minutes. In the fourth, the relentless and tenacious Trinity offense put things away early, coming out with a devastating 20-4 run, making it 7541 as they cruised in for the win. The Broncos did manage to get 10 players into the scoring column, but it was only Tyler Brown that recorded double digits, leading the way with 16. Danny Brown and Ryan Quinlan chipped in with six apiece; while Alex Wetmore and George Notini each added ve. Unlike the breakneck speed of the Trinity offense, Londonderry used a mostly deliberate and patient half-court offense along with some timely long range shooting to pull away from the Broncos. With Alvirne trailing by just a conventional hoop, Tyler Brown knotted the score at 13-13 with 6:00 straight up remaining in the rst half. However, in the late stages of the second quarter, a triple by Drew Coveny followed by back-to-back trifectas from Max Coleman led a Lancer 11-5 spurt that put them ahead at the half, 24-18. To start the second half, Londonderry controlled the offensive glass, as a total of four offensive rebounds yielding two hoops, along with a steal and lay-in from Max Coleman allowed the Lancers to build their rst double digit lead at 30-20; forcing Alvirne Coach Seth Brown to call for a timeout with 6:04 remaining in the quarter. Out of the timeout, a Broncos turnover led to the Lancers going up by a dozen, and despite an AND 1 by Tyler Brown with 4:49 left that brought the decit back under ten at 32-23, Londonderry slowly pulled away. An NBA range triple from Coveney with :03 left in the third gave the Lancers a 43-27 lead as they went on to outscore Alvirne by four in the fourth for the 20 point win. Once again, the Broncos were able to get 10 players into the scoring column; however no one recorded more than Danny Browns team leading nine points (seven on free throws). Tyler Brown followed with eight while eight other players scored between two and four points, inclusive. With the loss, Alvirne slipped to 5-9 on the year.

by Marc Ayotte The Alvirne High wrestling team nished the 2013-2014 regular season in less than stellar fashion, dropping its last meet of the season to Winnacunnet by a team score of 57-9. Additionally, the Broncos as a team lost four of its last ve divisional matches as well as going 0-3 on the nal weekend at the Cavalier Classic on Saturday, February 15. At the Hollis-Brookline hosted event, Alvirne fell to Bow (42-27), Winnisquam (42-29) and D-III powerhouse Windham by a score of 40-15, but did receive a pair of outstanding individual performances. Despite the disappointing overall team showing in the last regular season meet, Evan Manning and Chad Cunningham each had stellar days; recording three wins as they swept their Jaguar, Falcon and Bear opponents. The Broncos dynamic duo, by going a combined 6-0 for the day, accounted for all but three of the teams wins on the mat. Registering a WBF over Jon Ferri (WHS), Max Johnson (Bow) and Dakota VanTassel (WNSQ) in succession, Manning (182) culminated a spectacular individual season which saw him nish with a jaw-dropping 30-3 record. Cunningham (138), for his part, nished off the regular season in style; posting a pair of pin wins over Will Carpenter (Windham) and Justin Mooney of Bow. He then followed those with a dismantling of Winnisquams Cooper Guilmain; racking up a convincing 17-2 tech fall win.

Frank Roark (120) scored a dramatic overtime win over Bows Chris Forrest. Coming through with the teams remaining three wins (excluding forfeits) were: Ben Katsohis (132) with a 6-5 decision over the Jaguars Gui Gauthier; Frank Roark, who in the 120 division came up big with an impressive overtime decision over the Falcons Chris Forrest, and Ethan Laroche with a win by fall over Matt Haddock of Bow. On February 22, Coaches Tom Jackson and John Mirabella bring

In addition to the ne season closing performances from Manning and Cunningham setting the tone, the Broncos hope to ride the yearlong strong efforts of Tyler Thyne and freshman Nick Milinazzo to a strong team showing.

On Monday, February 17, the Broncos took on a powerful Londonderry squad who only had one loss prior to this contest. This time, the buzzer beater belonged to the Broncos. Londonderry put a very tall team on the oor with three players around the six foot mark. The Broncos were considerably undersized in this match-up but they did a formidable job against Londonderrys bigs. Ive got to give kudos to our forwards (Kaycee Carbone, Brittney Lambert, Nicole Teague, Amanda Wetmore and Marissa Sweeney) because they all played physical and did a good job keeping them out of the paint, said Tracy. This is one team we havent beaten since I have been coaching here, and tonight was a balanced attack. Again, the Broncos got out to a quick start taking a 17-6 lead after the rst quarter of play, but Londonderry stormed back to take the lead 27-23 at the half. However, Alvirne didnt roll over and cut the lead to one, 31-30, after three quarters of play; giving them some added condence needed for the nal stanza. The nal minutes of the game were a back and forth affair. With less than two minutes to play, the Broncos were up by one point. An inbound pass by the Broncos was stolen but in an attempt to steal the ball back, a foul was called. Londonderry was near perfect at the charity stripe, but on this occasion, only hit one of two free throws. With Londonderry holding a slim one-point lead and 18 seconds remaining in the game, the Broncos ran a sideline play. When Londonderry doubled on Sandi Purcell, she made a perfect bounce pass to Marissa Sweeney who hit the layup for a one point Bronco lead with three seconds remaining. Londonderry failed to call a time-out and inbounded the ball from under their basket as time expired, giving Alvirne the stunning victory. Kaycee Carbone led the scoring for the Broncos with eight points and four rebounds, followed by Amanda Wetmore and Marissa Sweeney with seven points apiece. Brittney Lambert added six

by Sue LaRoche Alvirne played two very difcult games, practically back-to-back with a Saturday game versus Manchester Memorial (9-4) and a Monday contest against number 2 seed Londonderry (13-2). Alvirne took one on the chin losing by three points, 43-40, to Manchester Memorial in a game that had to be made up from a cancellation earlier in the season. The Broncos faced another squad that played a majority of zone defense forcing the Broncos into outside shots, but Alvirne could not nd the shooting range all night. Alvirne had a 16-8 lead at the end of the rst quarter but Memorial came back and tied the game at 24 at the half. The Broncos went down by three points at the end of three quarters of play and despite many chances they could not recapture the lead. The Broncos allowed Memorials point guard to score 24 points on the night. They were denitely hot from the outside, especially their point guard, explained Coach Steve Tracy. Alvirne had a chance to tie the contest on a full court inbounds play but a three-point shot bounced harmlessly off the rim for the Broncos defeat. Sandi Purcell had 13 points and four assists on the night, followed by Tori LaRoche with
