New Life Christian Church offered something for both children and adults in their
Easter event held last Saturday. The Hudson based church offered a free community
breakfast at 9 a.m. for everyone with an egg hunt following at 10 a.m.
We wanted to do it (put on this event) as a way to build a bridge to the
community and let them know that we are here for them, care for them and serve
the needs of their family, New Life Pastor Ken Heath said.
Several dozen children and adults alike sat down for a full breakfast
of bacon, pancakes, fruit, and of course, eggs.
I like the bacon. It was a pleasant smell walking in, said
parishioner Adam Wallis.
About 400 plastic eggs were hidden through the churchs
Sunday school classrooms and in the yard outside.
I like nding the Easter Eggs and seeing what was in
inside was exciting, Amanda Dalphond, 10, said.
The eggs were lled with candy and paper with
encouraging Bible verses written down about Jesus Christ.
A total of 12 children ages 2-10 scampered through
eagerly nding the eggs. As the children looked for the
eggs, their parents took photos and spent time socializing
with others along the way.
I thought it was a lot of fun. It was a nice way to
spend a Saturday morning, said Misty Dery, who was in
attendance with her two children.

Many Hudson locals gathered on the shore
of Robinson Pond this past Easter Sunday to
celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus Christ on
the third day after his Crucixion. The sun
was shining that beautiful spring morning as
these good hearted Christians joined together
in musical harmony singing such songs as Up
from The Grave He Arose and Glorious to the
acoustic stylings of Kathy Secrests guitar.
The short, but sweet event, which has become
somewhat of a tradition here in Hudson, was
concluded with Pastor Secrest of the First Baptist
Church of Hudson who read a passage from Luke
Chapter 24 of the Old Testament.
All were then invited back to the church,
located at the intersection on Central and Greeley
Streets, where a bountiful breakfast awaited.
Churchgoers who could not make it to the early
sunrise service were still encouraged to attend the
usual 10:30 a.m. Worship.

Governor Maggie Hassan participated in the
ribbon cutting at Mercury Systems new Advanced
Microelectronics Center Ribbon Cutting, highlighting how
innovative, job-creating businesses like Mercury Systems
are moving New Hampshires economy forward. The
opening of this new facility signies Mercurys investment to
the future of innovation throughout the state.
The new AMC facility will expand the breadth of
engineers working in a cutting-edge facility on world-class
sensors and platforms. With the launch, Mercury will now
be able to support the growth trajectory of military defense
innovation by offering a streamlined supply-chain from
design to production.
In his welcoming remarks, Mark Aslett, President and
CEO of Mercury Systems, explained why this new site on
Lowell Road is so important. He stated very simply, this
facility is a very unique asset. It is where we will design,
develop, manufacture and test RF Microwave, and other
advanced microelectronics products and sub systems.
These advanced technologies go into key military platforms
that our customers develop which, in turn, play a part in
key DoD missions.
Mercury Systems is actually headquartered just south of
Hudson in Chelmsford, MA. The Hudson AMC represents
one of the crown jewels of Mercury, there are 160 highly
skilled technical, engineering, and support staff. Aslett
pointed out that Mercury could have located this facility
anywhere, but choose Hudson because it makes good
business sense and it represents our commitment to the
local economy, with a skilled and committed workforce
and a terric quality of life.
Prior to cutting the ribbon with President Aslett, NH
Governor Hassan spoke to those gathered, mentioning how
exciting it was to see a facility such as this AMC division
of Mercury System in New Hampshire and it was made
possible by the tremendous work force that new Hampshire
has. How the citizen and businesses of NH can grow and
innovate how everyone can roll up their sleeves and solve
problems. She mentioned the current 4.2 unemployment
rate and looking at the workforce she could see.
Following the Ribbon cutting and a brief media
presentation, the new facility was toured.
a Very Unique Asset for Hudson
Governor Hassan and other dignitaries tour the new facility. Te Hudson leadership team of Selectmen Pat Nichols and Roger Coutu with Town
Administrator Steve Malizia discuss the operation with Rich Russo of the Mercury Systems.

We have so much exciting news about
the Seniors this week!
It amazes me how much can happen
in a couple weeks. The ground around
the new building is nally thawed and
progress has started on the grounds around
the building! The sidewalks are in, and
work has begun on the curbing. Soon the
guard rails and fences will be installed and
the parking lot will be paved. There are a
lot of beautiful bushes and trees that are
going to be planted around the site for all
to enjoy.
I hope everyone has had a chance to put
May 31 on your calendars as this is our
big Grand Opening Day Celebration! The
Senior Center and the Hudson Community
Television Center will open their doors
to the public at this event for everyone to
wander through the building. Touring will
start at 2 p.m. If you would like to join us
for the ribbon cutting please come for 1
p.m. Parking will be limited so please plan
on parking in the main lot at Benson Park
and walking to the new building.
Thank you so much to Charlie Matthews
and the Rodgers Library for including us
in World Book Night. We are so glad
you asked us to be a part of this special
activity. I hope that you had a great turn
out and we look forward to collaborating
with you again very soon!
The doors to the new Senior Center
will open on June 3, at 8:45 a.m. This
will be our rst ofcial day open, and I
hope everyone will join us. There will be
activity calendars available at the Grand
Opening and will have all the activities for
the months of June and July listed on it.
Please be sure to pick one up at the Center
when you come.
To register at the new building will
consist of lling out a registration form and
going through orientation to hear about
all the activities we are going to offer at
the new center. There will be registration
days later in the month of May so as
many people that want to register early
can. The dates are being set and will be
announced in my next letter. There is no
registration fee if you live in Hudson and
a $10 registration fee if you live outside
of Hudson. The Center is open to people
that are 55 and older. There will be a
lunch offered at the new Center and will
be provided by St. Joes Senior Services.
If you are 60 and older there is a $3
donation per meal and if you are under 55
there is a fee for the meal. We will have
more information on this when you register
with the center.
The tables have been ordered for the
big room, but the choice of which chair
is going to be left up to the Seniors! We
will have samples of the chairs at the
Community Center starting on Tuesday for
people to try out and see which they like
the best. Please stop by and vote on the
chair that you prefer to sit on. We will be
nalizing the chair selection by Thursday
at the latest, so get in early to see what the
choices are!
Welcome to all out new friends at Coffee
Club! We are so glad you come down on
Tuesdays to sip and chat! Mary and Dot as
always the coffee is wonderful!
A huge thank you goes out to the
Hudson Memorial School for inviting us to
the play Annie! What a wonderful job
by these talented students and we couldnt
have been more excited to
have been included. The front
row seats you saved for us were
amazing, and what a great job
by the cast and crew! Thank
you again and we will be back
next year!
~ For the Kitchen ~
Since it is getting warm out and
we have started cooking on the
grill again I thought I would
share my pasta salad with all of
you. This dish only gets better
when you add your favorite
ingredients so please feel free
to eliminate those you dont
like and add more that you
do. It can also be cut in half
to make a smaller portion and
refrigerates very well so it can
last all week.
Pasta Salad
1 box pasta (rotini, ziti,
macaroni or use your
favorite)
Cherry tomatoes
Yellow, green and red
peppers
Large Vidalia onion
1 can black olives halved
Cubed cheese (Cheddar,
Mozzarella or Colby Jack)
Pepperoni (cut in half or
quarters)
Ham cubes
Baby carrots
Celery stalks
Cook Pasta to desired
texture, drain and set aside.
Chop all vegetables, peppers
into small pieces, carrots
into small bites, celery into
small pieces and halve the
cherry tomatoes. Mince
the onion and cut up the
meat if needed to make
small bits. Place pasta and
all ingredients in a large
mixing bowl. Stir ingredients
together. For the nal touch,
add your favorite mayonnaise
or dressing. Italian salad
dressing is nice and so is
Ranch. For a larger group,
use multiple large vegetables,
for a smaller serving use only
one or half of one for each.
Feel free to add or subtract
ingredients based on your
favorites; it also tastes great
with summer squash! Enjoy!

In March, when voters turned down the
Operating Budget proposed by the Selectmen
and negotiated with the Budget Committee,
Hudson was faced, for a second year in a row,
with a default budget. For dollar and cents
people, that means that the town has to operate
with $507,000 less than the Selectmen had
planner for. For the constitutionalists among
us, the NH RSA known as SB2 denes how
a municipality can proceed after a budget
is rejected. In simple terms, it is the last
scal years operating budget, less one-time
expenditures, plus any contractual obligations.
There is one more twist. You should know that
the budget that was rejected in March is only a
bottom line amount; the Selectmen can move
line items in the roughly $29 million budget
to meet the needs of the town as they see them.
What alternatives are there? These became
the focus at the beginning of the Selectmens
meeting Tuesday. Since the 59 no votes
stopped the budget, the Town Administrator
and the Finance Director with consultation of
all department heads have looked for options.
Should the town hold a second election
and ask the voters again to approve some
aberration of the budget or should the town
take the money in the default budget and move
it around to make ends meet the best they can?
Well, after some discussion, Chairman
Coutu asked the question, another election or
do with what we have and make it work? The
board agreed to balance the budget by making
adjustments to expense lines and putting off
some spending.
Selectmen have set their meeting on June
3 to be the time they will decide what the
July 1 budget will look like. Decisions to
be made: How many days a week to keep
open the brand new Senior Center? The new
budget provided for ve days a week but under
the default budget it could be zero days per
week. No decision will be made until the
June meeting. The Central Fire Station needs
a new heating/air conditioning unit(s). The
goal with this consequence is to try to nd
the funds in the current budget, mostly from
unlled positions. The police station needs a
new security system. Can the money be found
for that? How much can be spent on town-
wide road paving. Is the loss of a weekend
gate attendant at Robinson Pond important?
The skate park being closed allows for those
funds to be used elsewhere. Will the town be
forced by EPA to treat stormwater before it is
discharged?
Unintended consequences will be a topic
for discussion for the next several months but
as Selectman Maddox put it, just like your
household, budget things will have to be
juggled.
Hudson Selectmen Offer Unintended
Consequences as Budget Alternative

On Monday, April 21, at approximately 9:15
p.m., Hudson police patrol personnel responded
to Bush Hill Road (just east of Wason Road) for
the report of a motor vehicle accident. Upon
arrival to the scene, a 2013 Toyota Corolla was
observed upside down leaning against several
trees on the westbound side of the road. Two
16-year-old subjects were in the vehicle at the
time of the accident and were identied on
scene as Matthew Achorn the driver and Michael
Guiffrida as the passenger; both are from Hudson.
Investigation on scene showed Achorn lost
control of the vehicle while heading westbound
on Bush Hill Road. Both subjects were wearing
their seatbelts at the time of the accident and
were not injured. Achorn was issued a citation
for unreasonable speed.
The Hudson Police would like to remind the
public of the importance of wearing seatbelts as
this accident is a perfect example of how they
save lives.

Litcheld Fire Rescue on Tuesday, April 22, was
notied by a 9-1-1 call at 5:05 p.m., of a person in
the Merrimack River in the area of Riverview Circle.
The caller reported someone screaming for help but
at the time had no visual of the victim. Fireghters
manning one rescue and two command vehicles, one
ambulance along with marine units from Hudson and
Merrimack responded to the scene. On his arrival on
the riverbank Fire Chief Frank Fraitzl witnessed the
victim oating in the swift current. The chief directed
reghters to the riverbank in the area of Talent Road.
The incident took place while the victim was
kayaking and for an unknown reason fell out of the
boat into the cold water.
Before marine units could be deployed a resident
assisted the victim to the riverbank with a canoe.
Fireghters using ropes hoisted the victim up the
riverbank where medical crews worked to warm
and remove the patient from the riverbank. The
patient was transported to a local hospital for further
treatment.

School Key Club
Campbell High
was the place to be
last Friday night.
As you crossed
the red carpet,
you noticed the
cafeteria has been
given a Parisian
theme and lled
with music and
talent. At each
table was a red
ower above a
starry tabletop.
To start the night,
all the way from
Detroit, were the
Blues Brothers,
Jake and Elwood.
MC and comedian,
Vice Principal Mike Perez, who also maintained the Parisian theme with a fashionable beret, brought
out the well-dressed duo. Talented performers channeled the likes of Justin Timberlake, John Legend
and Regina Specter. Others drew on inspiration from groups like the Foo Fighters and All Time Low. A
wonderful dancer owed before the audience in a routine that was beautiful and mesmerizing. The
variety of this talent spanned from the comedic to the heartwarming as we experienced the spoken word
of Grandparents and the ravages of Alzheimers
as seen from a granddaughters eyes. Food and
beverages were available but the nal course
of the evening was Thawing the Haddock, the
name of the last group whose lead singer was
denitely in the band as we all could see from
his shirt.
The night was a great success and the Key
Club has decided that all money raised is to be
donated to the Bedford Animal Shelter. They run
many events in the community and make their
own decision as to where the money will be
used. The Coffee House has become a signature
event of the Campbell Key Club. It was started
four years ago by member Christine Lepore. This
year Jessica Greene successfully ran the show
along with her fellow ofcers Rebecca Gibson,
Rachail Quinneville, Angela Valenti and Cassie
Page. Overseeing the club is faculty advisor
Linea Manley. Along with students, faculty
and parents there were also Hudson Kiwanis
members Dan and Gayle Zelonis and Key Club
advisor Mike Hardy. The Hudson Kiwanis Club
is the sponsoring association and works directly
with the Key Club.
We look forward to see what the Coffee
House will
present next
year. We are
sure it will
be another
outstanding
show.

New Climate Models Being Developed
Since climate research afects many of the bills that come before the General
Court I have taken time to examine much of the noise associated with
climate change theory. Perhaps the best line I have found is: Climate Change
unstoppable. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unstoppable_Global_Warming:_
Every_1,500_Years] Tat is a truism of magnitude because the climate of the
earth changes, constantly. Perhaps not in our life time nor over a millennia, but
it does change. Te Roman Empire expanded to the extent of wine production,
and retracted as Scotland became cooler. Eric the Red saw green pastures on
Greenland and recently ancient Viking settlements were, albeit briefy, exposed
on the glacial island. Tere are some in Concord who refuse to look at reality;
that the vaunted computer models for global temperature have not been verifed
with real data, only predictions.
Tere is far too much to say on the topic in a short letter, but I would urge
readers to take a moment and read this rather clear discussion: http://www.
newclimatemodel.com/new-climate-model. Te earth is far too complex
to be reduced to a computer model of what may happen if this happens or
if something else may possible occasionally... Factual data is clear from a
multitude of sources: Researchers at NASA have difculties with data (http://
www.foxnews.com/scitech/2010/03/30/nasa-data-worse-than-climategate-data);
Researchers at East Anglia University lied (Email gate); Te Mann Teorem
(hockey stick) is not verifed by ice core samples (it was warmer in the dark
ages than now); current data is taken from improperly placed recording stations
(average temperature data from a station next to a refecting parking lot is valid?).
All I can say is rather than vilify a person for their opinion based by fact
and analysis perhaps a little reason interferes. Should we consider this http://
www.newscientist.com/article/dn11646-climate-myths-the-hockey-stick-graph-
has-been-proven-wrong.html#.U1Pm8qKhzw0. Te crucial point is that
our modern civilisation (English spelling) has been built on the basis of the
prevailing climate and sea levels. As these change, it will cause major problems.
Climate Change has happened and will happen and humans adapt, to but
cannot control that change.

submitted by the NH House of Representatives
In a press conference at 1 p.m. on Monday, April 21, Speaker Terie Norelli discussed
her decision not to seek re-election this fall.
Remarks, as prepared:
Eighteen years ago, Martha Fuller Clark asked me to run for the legislature, though
my husband may never forgive her for it. After weeks of conversation, I said I would
try it for two years. Thank you, Martha, for the push.
And thank you to my rst Speaker, Donna Sytek, my rst committee chair and
ranking members, Jeb Bradley and Clif Below, and to my rst Democratic Leader, Peter
Burling. Each of them encouraged me and offered me opportunities to grow.
Those opportunities ultimately led to my having the honor of presiding as Speaker
of the rst Democratic majority in the New Hampshire House in 84 years and the
rst back-to-back Democratic majority in New Hampshire history. It has been both a
challenging (think herding cats) and a rewarding experience.
Thank you for asking, Martha. I did give it a try. In fact, eighteen years of trying ...
... to defend reproductive rights.
... to protect our states mountains, trees and lakes.
... to ght for working Granite Staters, their families and our communities.
... to ensure economic and social justice for all our citizens.
And, we had many successes.
As Speaker, I had the tremendous privilege of presiding over
the passage of Civil Unions and then one term later, Marriage
Equality.
Im proud of the work weve done to preserve and protect
New Hampshires great beauty, including implementing RGGI,
the regional greenhouse gas initiative. Our work on these issues
ensures that our scenic views, our clean air and clean water
will continue to be enjoyed by generations to come, and will
continue to drive our states economy.
We nally ended the education lawsuits, established statewide
Kindergarten, and lowered the high school dropout rate. We
worked hard to deliver Justice Reinvestment, improving public
safety and decreasing costs to taxpayers. We eliminated the
Developmental Disabilities waitlist.
We expanded health care access by allowing children under
26 to stay on their parents insurance - a few years before the
Affordable Care Act made that a national policy.
And we expanded health care access once again - just a few
weeks ago - giving 50,000 Granite Staters access to desperately
needed care.
In a budget that garnered broad bipartisan support in both
chambers of the legislature this session, we restored essential
investments in our communities, including re-establishing a
CHINS program and moving forward on the Mental Health plan.
And we did it with decorum, respect and transparency.
I am so gratied by all that we have accomplished for the
people of New Hampshire in the time I have been a state
representative.
Now I feel that its time for me to step back and catch my
breath - and give my family a break, too. So I am announcing
today that I will not be running for re-election this fall.
I am incredibly proud of the time Ive spent here and I am
honored to have had the opportunities Ive had. Most of all, Im
humbled by the people Ive met and with whom Ive worked
throughout this journey.
I believe our Democratic caucus has some amazing talent
waiting in the wings, and I will be leaving the House, your
House, in good hands.
The ght doesnt end today. We have more work to complete
this session. We have an election to win this fall. Though I will
not be running for the House myself, I am committed to work
hard over the coming months to insure that for the second time
in New Hampshire history, Democrats will hold the majority in
consecutive terms.
We know what the alternative looks like. We must win for
the people of New Hampshire in order to preserve the gains
we have made restoring investments in our communities. To
ensure equality continues to be as real in our laws as it is in our
hearts. To protect our states clean air and boundless beauty.
To defend working families and minorities across this great
state. To guarantee that women have access to the full range of
reproductive health care.

Friday morning, April 18, U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen
(D-NH) hosted a roundtable at NEMO Equipment in Dover
with representatives from New Hampshires environmental,
outdoor recreation and timber sectors to discuss the
continued importance of the Land and
Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) for New
Hampshires economy and environment.
The LWCF protects natural resources,
outdoor recreation opportunities and
working forests in New Hampshire and
around the country.
In New Hampshire we have
long recognized the importance of
conservation and the economic and
environmental benets that come from
supporting outdoor recreation, Shaheen
said. We are lucky to live in a state with
an abundance of natural treasures that draw visitors from
all over the world and that have created robust tourism and
outdoor recreation industries which support thousands of jobs
and contribute billions to the economy.
Shaheen recently led a bipartisan coalition of senators in
calling for strong investment in land conservation programs
to help protect continued access to public lands for hunting,
shing and other outdoor activities, which supports millions
of jobs in New Hampshire and across the country.
Protecting New Hampshires natural treasures is whats
best for our environment and the economy and will ensure
that our outdoor spaces are there for generations to come,
Shaheen added.
Tourism is New Hampshires second largest industry.
According to the Outdoor Industry Association, the outdoor
recreation economy supports 49,000 jobs and produces $4.2
billion in direct consumer spending in New Hampshire.

On Saturday, April 12, scores of friends, family and fellow
scouts attended an elaborate ceremony at the Litcheld
Presbyterian Church commemorating the Eagle Scout Court of
Honor for Harrison Hidalgo. Harrison is the youngest Eagle
Scout weve ever had in the troop, revealed Keith Soucie,
who is the Eagle Scout Ceremony Coordinator. Soucie, who
earned his Eagle Scout Rank in 1973, and whose son Dustin,
preceded Hidalgo with the Troop 11 honor, also said of Hidalgos
achievement, its a very rare accomplishment to do it in such a
short time frame.
Its the highest rank attainable, noted George Weghorst,
Assistant Scoutmaster of Litchelds Troop 11. His son, Eric,
also received the honor some 10 years ago as a member of
the same troop. Weghorst continued by saying its a very
high accomplishment; it takes years of work including a major
Eagle Project serving the community. While also fullling the
requirements in the areas of leadership, service, and outdoor
skills, Hidalgos service project involved instituting a sign-in
kiosk near the soccer elds located off Albuquerque Avenue in
Litcheld.
Having a love for the game of soccer, Hidalgo who started as
a Tiger in the Scouts at the age of six offered, Ive been playing
soccer since I was little and wanted to contribute to the soccer
program. The entire project is an extensive undertaking and
in Hidalgos case involved a variety of responsibilities in order
to complete the project; ranging from petitioning the Litcheld
Recreation Committee, to fundraising, to purchasing the materials
to ultimately building, transporting and installing the kiosk at its
nal destination. I feel very happy, very satised, exclaimed
Hidalgo with respect to his undertaking, adding, Im very proud
about achieving the rank of Eagle.
On Saturday, according to a troop source, Hidalgo ofcially
became the 23rd Eagle Scout from Troop 11.
Included in the long line of predecessors are Ben
and Andy Towne (sons of District Chairman Jeff
Towne), Brad Loeb (son of Greg Ferraro) and Matt
Rafferty (son of Matt Rafferty, Troop 11 Assistant
Scoutmaster). The troops run of Eagle Scouts dates
back 16 years to when Nathan Curtis became
the troops rst recipient. Nathan is the son of
John Curtis, who is currently the Assistant District
Commissioner and was the troops Scoutmaster
back in 1998.
On hand for the event were several state and
local ofcials. Representing the town of Litcheld
and presenting citations to Hidalgo was Fire
Department Deputy Chief Paul Allard, who is a
former Scoutmaster and has two sons, Eric and
Travis, who also earned the rank of Eagle Scout.
Additionally, Ofcer Heath Savage presented a
citation on behalf of the towns Police Department.
State ofcials who attended and presented their
respective citations were: State Senator Donna
Soucy (on behalf of Governor Hassan) along with
House of Representatives Ralph Boehm and George
Lambert.

GMS Fourth Grade Touches the Industrial Revolution
Courtesy photo
submitted by the GMS PTO
The Mills and the Industrial Revolution in New
Hampshire are a major topic in the fourth grade
curriculum and Grifn Memorial School students
have been getting a very hands-on chance to
learn about it. Presenters from the Museum of
NH History came into their classrooms recently
to help them learn more. After an interesting
presentation about the NH Mills and how they
were built and run, students were able to explore
objects like raw cotton, large shuttles, bobbins
and period shoes with rows of buttons. One
student was surprised at how hard it was to
button shoes, saying that he would have to get
up much earlier to get dressed. They could feel
hand woven fabric as well, comparing it to the fabrics
they wore. Overall, it brought history to life in a
very touchable way, allowing them to connect more
with their states past. This was an enrichment event
sponsored by the GMS PTO through funds raised by
the families at the school.

Nottingham West Elementary School
On April 8, Nottingham West second graders had a visit
from the New Hampshire Higher Education Assistance
Foundation. During a special program called I Can
Save, they learned about the value of money and saving
at a young age. This program aims to encourage students
to begin a habit of saving that will continue as they grow
older. Since 2008, the NHHEAF Network Organizations
Center for College Planning partners each April with the
NH Jump$tart Coalition and Fidelity Investments to support
youth nancial literacy.
All students received moonjars that contain three
moneyboxes for spending, saving and sharing. They
participated in a discussion of the difference between needs
and wants, and shared some of the things they would like
to spend and save for
in the future. The I
Can Save program
also connects to the
second grade math
curriculum, where
students are learning
more about money
and the value of
coins.

THOMPSON AUTO GROUP
Before looking into the advantages and
disadvantages to duct cleaning, it is advantageous
to examine the process involved when cleaning
air ducts. There are two ways to have the ducts
cleaned in a home: rotary vacuum brushing or
high pressure air washing.
Vacuum brushing utilizes a spinning brush
to scrub dust and debris off the air vents and a
vacuum to capture whatever is dislodged.
High pressure air washing uses pressurized air
blown through the air ducts. A truck-mounted
industrial vacuum is attached to the furnace, and
all of the air register vents in the
home are covered. Once all the
air ducts have been blown clear,
another air wand is fed into the
end of the hot and cold air supply
lines. Dust and debris is then drawn
backward into the vacuum.
Pros: One of the more obvious
advantages of air duct cleaning is
improved health and hygiene in
the home. Those prone to allergies
may nd that routine cleaning
helps ameliorate the problems of
sneezing and watery eyes. Duct
cleaning can remove allergens and
dust.
The Environmental Protection
Agency says air duct cleaning
is handy if there is a noticeable
accumulation of dust and debris
in ducts or if particles are actually
released into the home from supply
registers. If ducts are infested with
rodents or insects, cleaning will
make indoor air much safer.
Mold is another factor to
consider when determining if ducts
need to be cleaned. Mold spores
oating in the air can lead to
illness. Professional cleaning may
be the only way to remove mold
and mildew from the system.
Homeowners who have
replaces may nd the air
becomes dirtier faster. Thats
because of the residue put into
the air from burning wood and
other fuel. This residue not only
builds up inside of the chimney in
the form of creosote, but also can
form a sticky, sooty layer inside of
ductwork. Cleaning the ducts can
remove this soot.
Cons: The EPA advises that no
research has denitively shown
that duct cleaning prevents health
problems. Neither do studies
conclusively demonstrate that
particle (e.g., dust) levels in homes
increase because of dirty air ducts.
This is because much of the dirt in
air ducts adheres to duct surfaces
and does not necessarily enter
the living space. Whats more,
dirty air that enters the home
from outdoors or indoor activities,
such as smoking or cleaning,
can actually
cause greater
exposure to
contaminants
than dirty air
ducts.
There also
is no evidence
that cleaning
ducts and
components
of the heating/
cooling system
will make
the furnace or air conditioner work any more
efciently.
Air duct cleaning is an expensive undertaking.
On average the cost of such a service can range
from $400 to $1,000, depending on the extent of
the cleaning and the size of the home.
Homeowners should never attempt to clean
air ducts themselves. If the decision is made to
have the cleaning done, it should only be on an
as-needed basis and completed by a reputable
cleaning service.

Nine Ways to Improve Curb Appeal
Homeowners who want
their homes to make strong
rst impressions must prioritize
curb appeal. Homes with
strong curb appeal sell well
and can impart a welcoming
feel to all visitors. Improving
curb appeal need not be
expensive, and the following
are a handful of ways to
improve the appearance of
your home.
1. Install a bold-looking
door in a vibrant color or one
with a custom design. This
helps the home stand out
from other properties in the
neighborhood.
2. Edge the driveway
to create a distinct border
between the driveway and
the lawn or other landscaping
features. This helps homes
appear neat and well kept.
3. Use outdoor lighting to
make a home more inviting.
Outdoor lighting also makes
properties safer to traverse at
night.
4. Clean a homes exterior to
remove mildew or discolorations from the siding, driveway, patio, and other outdoor elements.
5. Improve landscapes with fresh plants and seasonal color. Homeowners without the time to plant
can consider container gardens, which dont take much time to assemble but still add appeal to a homes
exterior.
6. Prune planting beds and add new mulch to restore color.
7. Add shutters and accent trim to a homes exterior to improve on the beauty of the house.
8. Install new fencing or give a fresh coat of paint or stain to an existing fence.
9. Replace concrete paths with tile or stone walkways to make entryways more impressive and inviting.

Homeowners are often interested in projects to
improve the aesthetic appeal of their homes, particu-
larly those that may increase the curb appeal of their
properties. But some projects, including improving attic
ventilation, can benet a home even when they arent
especially eye-catching.
Attic venting preserves the life of a roof while improv-
ing the energy efciency of a home. Although it may
seem counterproductive to let air into the attic when
you are sealing drafts elsewhere in the home, there is
rhyme and reason to venting an attic throughout the
year.
What is attic ventilation?
Attic ventilation is a system of air intake and ex-
haust that creates a ow of air through the attic. In the
summertime, air owing through the attic will cool
temperatures within the attic, preventing damage to the
underside of roong shingles and preventing ambient
heat from traveling inside of a home. In the winter, air
ow helps to keep the attic cool and dry. This prevents
moisture that can lead to mold and rot issues from
building up inside of the attic. Attic ventilation also
prevents warm indoor temperatures and rising heat from
warming up roofs during the winter, creating the freeze-
thaw pattern that results in ice dams.
Improving attic air ow
Many attics already contain passive
ventilation in the form of vents or ventilation
strips built into the edge of the roof. Other
vents may appear in gables or eaves. Some
homeowners prefer the addition of an attic
fan to work in concert with existing venting.
The spring season is an ideal time to have
an attic fan installed because the weather is
temperate, making it easier to work up in the
attic.
According to Natural Light Energy Sys-
tems, attic temperatures can exceed 160 F
on hot summer days. Proper attic ventilation
can reduce those
temperatures by up to 40 F, prolonging the
life of the roof. Attic ventilation also reduces
the load on heating and cooling systems. No
matter how much insulation is in an attic,
some transfer of attic air will occur between
the home and the attic, and that transfer
makes heating and air conditioning systems
run longer and harder to compensate.
Homeowners who notice their HVAC
systems running endlessly to keep the home
comfortable can benet from improved attic
ventilation, as can those homeowners whose
attics feature moisture damage in the way of rusty nails
or moldy wood framing. An attic fan is often an effective
remedy to these issues.
Attic fan 101
The installation of an attic fan is best left to a profes-
sional, as it requires running wiring to the fan and it
may necessitate cutting into the roof for venting. Many
fans work with a thermostat and will turn on when the
air temperature in the attic reaches a certain tempera-
ture. The fan will circulate the air, helping to keep the
attic cooler and dryer. Also, the fan can help expel
fumes from cooking or appliances from the home.
Canada Go Green notes that attic fans can reduce
energy bills considerably by making HVAC systems
work more efciently. Keeping attics cool and dry may
also reduce how frequently HVAC systems need to be
turned on or at which temperatures thermostats in the
home are set.
Improving attic ventilation may not add much to a
homes curb appeal, but such a project can save hom-
eowners money and provide year-round benets.
Improving Attic Ventilation Benets Roofs and More
Passive and active venting systems for attics help keep homes
comfortable and energy-ef cient all year long.

Tis the season for making changes in and around the home. The
arrival of warmer weather renews homeowners vigor for various
home improvement projects, and many have grand plans for interior
and exterior renovations as they prep their living spaces for comfort,
beauty and entertaining opportunities. While there are many worthy
projects to pursue, adding outdoor lighting to a home can help
increase its value and make the home safer and more attractive in the
evening hours.
According to the American Lighting Association, with a few up-
dates to outside lighting, families can make even better use of their
homes at night. Adding outdoor lighting is easier and less expensive
than many homeowners may know, allowing them to transform an
existing patio, deck or pool area into an enjoyable nighttime retreat.
Pool parties, dinners on the patio or barbecues with neighbors
become even more memorable when outdoor lighting is added or
improved. But homeowners who want to install or upgrade their out-
door lighting should consider the following tips, courtesy of ALA.
* Improve navigation. Lighting is typically layered into a room
or outdoor space in three ways: overhead, task and ambient. Even
outdoors, where there are no typical boundaries and borders, those
three layers are necessary. Outdoor overhead lighting should improve
visibility on steps, paths and walking surfaces, especially where
theres a bend or an intersection. Task lighting can be used around
cooking or gardening areas. Ambient light will cast a comforting
glow around any outdoor space.
* Enhance security. To improve visibility and security, combine a
motion detector with a sconce to illuminate dark corners or entry-
ways. Be sure to aim lights away from the door to improve visibility.
Lanterns on either side of the door can give a home a warm, welcom-
ing appearance and improve the safety of entryways.
* Create outdoor rooms. Outdoor lighting at the borders of a space
is a great way to create barriers, both vertically and horizontally.
Lights in a tree create some-
thing akin to a chandelier hung
in the middle of the sky, and
even accent lights in the gen-
eral area of the edge of a patio,
deck or porch will shine across
the space and provide enough
of a comfort level for people to
understand where things are.
* Reduce glare. Outdoor
lighting that casts a glare can
be blinding, as can light thats
too bright. Lighting along paths
should be cast downward,
with xtures that are hooded.
A variety
of lighting
options will
create layers,
allowing you
to add or
subtract as
necessary.
Exterior-safe
dimmers
also can pro-
vide exible
control over
the level of
light, as can
movable x-
tures added
to a patio or
porch.
* Add dec-
Lighting Sets The Stage for Outdoor Fun
Outdoor lighting can play up the more decorative features
of a yard, including fower beds.
orative elements. Just as arbors, pergolas, patios
and other outdoor elements help to enhance the
style of an outdoor space, so, too, can lighting
contribute to a well-designed landscape. Lighting
should play up decorative features of a yard and
add the ambience that homeowners desire. Step
lights make passage safe while also highlighting
molding or trim details. An outdoor chandelier
can make for a wonderful accent during dinner-
time on the deck or under a pergola. Patio lights
provide atmosphere as well as illumination for
cooking outside.
* Enhance views from inside. Outdoor light-
ing can make the view from inside pleasant
and enjoyable. Use a variety of lights, including
spotlights on trees, lights dotted along pathways
and accent lights on unique landscape features,
to create an idyllic landscape visible from inside
the home.
Outdoor lighting enhances functionality of
yards and landscapes while making such areas
safer for homeowners and their guests once the
sun has gone down.
Thumbs Up? Thumbs Down? Thumbs Up? Thumbs Down?
Thumbs up to three nice people who offered to
be witnesses on my behalf when my car was hit in
the Hannaford parking lot. Its nice to know such
people still are around.
Thumbs up to President Obama on his
masterful achievement of a reset with Russia.
Pity its a reset back to the Cold War days. Oh,
well.
Thumbs up/Thumbs down. Im sick and tired
of reading how the Democrats are going to save
us. I am an Independent, not a Republic. We
must work hard. Stop relying on Barack Obama.
He lied to us. Stop relying on old Hilary Clinton.
She lied about Bengazi. Now
after someone lies to you,
and you vote for that person, I
have a shrink. Ill give you his
name, but I wont put it in the
paper. You can go see him.
Semper Fi.
Thumbs down for Alvirne
School principal for allowing
discussions on sex in the
classroom in not even a
sex-ed class. Sir that is
not your business. That is
the parents venue and not
yours. Take your sex talk to
your own home and keep it
there. School is for the basic
fundamentals, and hopefully
you are aware of what they
are. But just in case youre
oblivious to the facts, its
math, history, science,
languages. Basics. Not some
rot put out by the culture rot
advocates. Is that clear, Mr.
Principle?
Thumbs down to the
person who said Obama is
the best President we ever
had. Are you kidding me?
Your village called; their idiot
is missing.
Thumbs up/Thumbs
down. How is it legal to
be a politician and do the
bidding of a few wealthy folks
for self-gain? Isnt this what
todays Republican serves?
What kind of government do
we have if we cannot stop
it? Doing nothing is not what
people voted for. And folks
like the coat brothers should
not be able to purchase
our government. Dont we
have protection built in our
government to stop a hostile
take-over by billionaires?
Republicans were for the
people, by the people and
not for people. Today, they
rule against it. How is this
possible, and legal?
Thumbs down to the AHS
principal for not sticking
to the Basic Fundamentals
... i.e., History, English,
Math, Science and Foreign
languages (not sexuality).
Funny, how this topic does
not appear on the school
website for all to see? Our
young adults should not be
subjected to sexual preference subjects, without
parent approval ever. Make sure it does not
happen again ... this is my job as a parent to teach
my child respect to all.
Thumbs down. Enough about Benghazi. Its
so 20 minutes ago. Dude, why dont you and
the rest of your cronies simply admit that you
hate Obama, always have, and it has absolutely
nothing to do with Benghazi. You dont need
Benghazi as an excuse. All you need, and have
ever needed, is your own hate, paranoia, and
insecurity. Come on, just admit it. The truth will
set you free.
Thumbs down. For those of you railing against
an increase in the minimum wage, consider
this: there is some new concern about ination
(how has your food bill been the last 6 months?),
the overall tax burden in NH compared to other
states is low, rents keep going up, housing is
increasingly out of reach, but our wages have
walked a at line for years. Oh, by the way,
corporate prots are through the roof. At some
point, we have to think about our own survival
- party afliation notwithstanding. A little more
in our pockets might make life a little easier. Or,
we can eat less and try to subsist on political
platitudes. Time to ght.
Thumbs down to what our young children
and teens have to be subjected to in our schools.
Bad behavior (over and over), horrible language
with (no consequence) in our classrooms and
video sideshows that are personal and not
educational. FYI, more than half of our children
are not comfortable with this going on right here
in Hudson our schools). I made a huge mistake.
I will vote no the next time and every other time
until this town cleans up our schools. Make the
parents responsible for their problems. Keep
personal preferences to the individual. Not in
our schools. A disgusted taxpaying responsible
parent.
Thumbs up to the LMS production of The
Big Bad Musical. The kids did an amazing job!
Thank you Nick Masson and Melissa Masson!
What a great job you both did working with the
kids.
Thumbs down to the Hudson Litcheld News
Group for even allowing this Thumbs Up/Down
column. I realize it is only peoples opinion that
honestly do not matter but really, it could escalate
when people straight out tell lies and deception
about their neighbors. If it turned into a slander
suit with all the disinformation in this column it
is disturbing. Yes, HLN, you would be included
for allowing this idiocy. Regards, Deb Black aka
Chopper Mans Wife
Thumbs up to the Hudson PD who will be
doing their jobs and stopping
loud motorcycles in accordance
with NH Title XXI Section
266:59-a. Quieter motorcycles
are a benet to us all. Loud
motorcycles are a benet to
none.
Thumbs up to seeing Buddy
the cat returning to our yard. We
missed seeing her all winter. We
promise we will not feed her
this year if you keep her indoors
during the week if you are going
to be gone all day.
She lived here
only because she
was lonely. Such
an adorable and
lovable cat. I
worry about her
being out because
she is deaf though.
Is that wise?
Thumbs up to our wonderful
boat neighbors that also have
motorcycles. You are very nice
people who mind your own
business and someone keeps
harassing you about your boats.
They think you are having a
business but they do not realize
you have multiple boats. Last year
they vandalized your motorcycle
more than once and repeatedly
complained about you. Well, we
also have a motorcycle as well as
most of the neighborhood. Maybe
we should all go to your house and
rev our bikes together. They better
watch out, we have a neighborhood
watch now. God Bless our
beautiful neighbors, we love you.
Thumbs up to the April18th
thumbs down on the President
going to a fundraising event after
his attending a memorial service at
Ft. Hood. Of course the fundraising
event was already planned for,
before the mass shooting, but a
moral person would have canceled
the fundraising event and stayed
at the Memorial Service as the
Commander-in-Chief of our Armed
Forces. It takes a moral person
to do the right thing. Have I said
enough?
Thumbs down to all the cowards
who will threaten people but wont
sign their names. Deb Black
Thumbs down. And the Legacy
continues. How many talented
AHS baseball players have to quit or
refuse to play at the Varsity level for
the real problem to be addressed?
So many formal complaints
led over the years fall on deaf
ears. Why? Three plus decades
as coach and how many state
championships? Time for a change,
Alvirne. Time for a
change.
Thumbs up
to the Cornhole
Tournament
on June 21st in
Litcheld. I went
to LitcheldCornhole.com to
register and got a great laugh
out of the Cornhole Song that
played on the site. Very funny.
Cant wait to play and win my
$500 prize!
Thumbs up to the woman
in Litcheld who voluntarily takes the recycling
(plastic and cardboard) that is set aside from the
schools and delivers it to the dumps recycling
area every week. She is saving us taxpayers
quite a bit of money thanks to her environmental
concerns. Otherwise, these materials would be
tossed into the school dumpster with everything
else and the town would not receive money from
the materials recycled.
Thumbs up to the Cornhole Song on the
www.LitcheldCornhole.com. Very funny!
Thumbs up to D.A.B.D.A the ves stage of
life. Denial Darn trafc. Anger Road rage.
Bargaining Maybe if I change lanes itll be
better? Depression oh well Acceptance It
is what it is. I cannot change you. You cannot
change me. Change starts within.
Thumbs up to the Litcheld Battle of the Bags
Cornhole Tournament! Cant wait for June 21st to
throw some bags and win my $500 prize. Great
website also at LitcheldCornhole.com.
Thumbs up to everyone who attended the most
recent Comedy Night in Hudson. Your generosity
during the 50/50 rafe was outstanding! It is
a great feeling to know that when one of the
families of Hudson needs help - the community
pulls together. The Jacques Family was touched
and very much appreciated the help. Every
little bit counts. A special thumbs up to Lisa -
who won the rafe and donated her half of the
winnings back to the family. You are a special
lady. It just goes to show there really are angels
here on earth amongst us. Thank you all.
Thumbs up. 16 million thumbs up for
Obamacare. Thats two from each successful
signee from the rst wave of healthcare.gov
enrollment applicants, with millions more
citizens to follow starting this November 15. The
legislation has succeeded beyond everyones
wildest dreams, resulting in the now-dwindling
federal decit and lowered premiums from most
of the insurance carriers. And well all watch
through election day as Scott Brown and the rest
of the Republicans continue ogging the dead
horse of anti-ACA sentiment instead of giving up
and moving on, spewing even more nonsense
about an obviously-working and benecial policy,
while simultaneously not offering a single new
idea of their own to improve it.
Thumbs up to the LMS drama club! Excellent
performance of Big Bad- the Musical! Singing
and dancing and tons of fun made a great show!
Thanks Mrs. Masson, Nick Masson and Corey
Sulzen! Without you the kids would not have
achieved such a highly entertaining show!
Thumbs up to the LMS and CHS jazz bands!
The Jungle Boogie was phenomenal! What a great
collaboration with Goffstown and all the music
directors!
Thumbs up all the work still being done
behind the scenes to make the Zach Field a
reality. Who knew there was so much asbestos
in Hudson? And than God the state and federal
agencies came along to help! No, really, some day
ask Len Lathrop or Mike Thompkins to tell you all
the help they had, and people from all mannaer of
agencies that lent a hand to make things progress!
Thumbs up!

The Nutrition and Food Service Department
is preparing to implement a new POS (Point of
Sales) system called Nutrikids in our school
district with a launch date of May 13.
Every student in the district has been entered
into this new computerized system. Students will
be using their same lunch card (Grifn Memorial
School) or pin number (Litcheld Middle School
and Campbell High School) to make purchases at
the serving lines.
Meal payment deposits will be made the
same way. Students may bring in cash or check
to school to deposit into their meal accounts
or parents may make deposits online using a
credit or debit card. Our new online payment
system called My School Bucks will be in
operation May 19. Go to their website www.
myschoolbucks.com to register for a new account.
Then, create an account for each of
your children by using their name and
date of birth as the passcode. Please
be aware that only payments for
school meals and no other school fees
can be paid with this online system.
Parents currently using
mymealtime.com can continue
making online deposits until Friday,
April 25, when their service will end.
We strongly recommend that parents/
guardians deposit enough money into
their childrens online accounts before
April 25 to cover the three weeks that
online payment system is non-operational or send
lunch payments to school with your child.
If your child has qualied for free or reduced
meal prices, this information is noted in the
system, and the meal will be processed just as
it is for all other students without any special
indication to the students.
If you are concerned about a food allergy that
your son/daughter has, please notify the cafeteria
with this information. If indicated, a warning will
appear on the cashiers screen for a review of the
items on the students tray.
We are excited to bring Nutrikids and My
School Bucks into the district as it has updated
and improved features to make operations more
efcient. If you have questions, feel free to Email
or call Hilda Lawrence, Director of Nutrition &
Food Services 546-0300, ext. 3112 or hlawrence@
litcheldsd.org.

We have not heard
the term El Nio in
awhile. El Nios
(Spanish for the
children) and La
Nias (Spanish for
the girls) relate to the water temperatures in
the Tropical Pacic from South America to near
the dateline. The reason meteorologists care is
because both have specic effects on our weather
in winter and summer.
In La Nias, stronger than normal equatorial
Pacic easterly winds cause cold water to surface
near South America and move west along the
equator. In El Nios, the winds weaken and warm
water piled up during El Nio in the western
Pacic sloshes east to South America.
Sir Gilbert Walker rst discovered this
phenomenon in early 1900 while trying to
understand what caused Indias monsoon.
The monsoon is important to feeding the
subcontinents huge population by bringing
abundant rains some years. In other years, as was
the case in 1899, the monsoon fails and famine
results.
Walker found surface pressures across the
Pacic tended to ip-op. When they were high
near Australia and low near Tahiti, the monsoon
rains were weak. When the opposite occurred,
they were bountiful. He termed it the Southern
Oscillation. By looking at global weather data,
Walker concluded that the oscillation had global
impacts. His notion was scoffed at but was given
new life in the 1960s and nally statistically
conrmed in 1988; after $8 billion in losses
globally occurred after the strong El Nio of 1982-
1983. Scientists were forced to take a closer look.
They found that Walker was right.
Since the great El Nio of 1997-1998, there
have only been three El Nios. The 1997-
1998 one was warm and rainy but the opposite
occurred this last decade. 2002-2003 was
remembered for its persistent cold and heavy
snows here in New England. The last El Nio
was in 2009-2010, the year the Mid-Atlantic from
Baltimore and DC to Philadelphia and New York
City will never forget with all-time record snows
and cold that never ended.
Back in 1997-1998, the belief among many
climatologists was that we had entered an era of
semi-permanent El Nios, thanks to greenhouse
gases. After all, from the mid 1970s to 1997-
1998, there were 10 El Nios and only three La
Nias. But after 1997-1998, the opposite has
occurred with eight La Nias and just three El
Nios.
I have shown on weatherbell.com, how this
relates to the overall state of the water in the
North Pacic as dened by what is called the
Pacic Decadal Oscillation or PDO. In the
late 1990s, oceanographers at the University of
Washington worked to try to understand why
the salmon sheries had abundant runs in the
Northwest for decades at a time and then reduced
catches for decades. They discovered the North
Pacic Ocean temperatures took on an El Nio
like conguration for a few decades (the warm
phase) and then suddenly ipped to a La Nia like
conguration (the cold phase).
When the PDO is warm, as it was from 1977
to 1998, El Nios dominate. When it is cold,
as has been the case since 1998 and especially
since 2006, La Nias are stronger, more frequent
and often multiyear. La Nias feed the northern
jet stream and often mean drought in California,
Texas and even Florida. We have been in drought
conditions in the southern plains for ve years,
much like the 1950s, when similar conditions
existed. La Nias mean more northern cold and
snow and springtime tornadoes. They increase the
chance of hurricane landfall on the East Coast, as
we experienced with Irene and Sandy.
El Nios feed the southern storm track and
instead bring ooding to California, snow to Texas
and ruined winter vacations in a wet Florida in
winter. They do reduce the hurricane activity in
the Atlantic, though it only takes one to make
landfall, like Andrew in 1992 or Isabel in 2003,
to make the otherwise quiet hurricane season
memorable.
In winter, those storms often turn up the East
Coast bringing noreasters. When the Pacic is
in its cold mode, the El Nios tend to have the
warmest tropical waters migrate to the central
Pacic (called the El Nio Modoki), making it
colder in the lower 48 states and the noreasters
more likely to bring snow even to the coast.
Some of the worst winters are those when
neither El Nio nor La Nia is present. Last winter
was one of those years. It ranked in the top three
coldest and snowiest in most of the Midwest into
the East, the coldest ever in some places. It was
driven, not by the tropical Pacic, but by a warm
water pool that had developed in the very strong
La Nia of 2010-2011 near Hawaii and drifted in
the currents into the Gulf of Alaska. This rerouted
the jet stream north to Alaska and then south
into the central United States, funneling northern
Canadian and Siberian arctic air into the central
regions. This became known as the polar vortex.
Philadelphia came close to breaking that snowy
2009-2010 record. March 2014 was the coldest
ever for Vermont, the second coldest on record for
New Hampshire and Maine and there was plenty
of snow in the north.
As El Nio comes on through, we can expect
a more normal summer for the United States.
However, there will be an enhanced risk of late
developing tropical systems in the warmer than
normal waters near the East Coast that could
inuence the Northeast. The deep tropics are
cooler than normal in the Atlantic and should be
quieter than normal again.
That warm pool in the Pacic is still there and
will have the same effect next winter if it persists
(they usually last two years). If El Nio behaves as
it usually does in the cold PDO, the combination
would mean another wild winter focused more in
the East. It would also end, at least temporarily,
the drought for California and Texas.
Even if that happens, the world usually warms
some in El Nios and cools in La Nias, so expect
these weather patterns to be hyped as a sign we
are back on track for global warming (after a
pause going on 18 years). However, these are
natural cycles operating as they have since man
rst walked the planet.

In March, voters approved a warrant article to
remove $300,000 from one of the school districts
capital trust funds to install a new ADA approved
elevator at Alvirne High School. The school
district prepared a Request for Proposal (RFP) and
the bids are back.
According to Business Administrator Karen
Burnell, two bids were received, but both of them
exceeded the $300,000 warrant article amount.
Both bids contained a contingency amount as
construction typically encounters one or more
unknown glitches when walls are opened.
The low bidder is Harvey Construction, who
proposed the elevator at $295,000, but then
added a contingency amount of $14,750, which
brought the total bid to $309,750.
Schroeder Construction was the other bidder.
They bid $427,994 with a contingency amount of
$20,926 for a total bid of $448,920.
Both bids have been checked against the RFP
and both meet requirements as stated in the RFP.
Burnell plans to recommend that the school board
accept the bid from Harvey Construction with the
intent to cap the project at the $300,000 amount.
However, if there are unexpected expenses she
said that additional funds would come from the
Alvirne High School building repair budget line.
If approved, the elevator would be installed during
the summer vacation.

Hudson reghters
on Saturday, April 19,
were alerted to a shed
re on Bush Hill Road
at 2:39 p.m. Hudson
Fire Alarm received
numerous calls from area
residents reporting the
re. The callers reported
brush around the shed
catching re and the
home close by. First
arriving reghters found
a 12-foot by 20-foot
shed heavily involved.
Additional assistance
of a tanker and forestry
command vehicle from
Litcheld and a Nashua
engine were also called
to the scene. At the time
of the blaze, the residents
were not at home.
Fire crews made
an exterior attack and
quickly had the ames
controlled. They were
successful stopping the
re from spreading to
the house and a tractor
near the shed. Neither
was damaged due
to the quick work by
reghters. The bulk
of the re was knocked
down within 13 minutes
of the rst arriving
apparatus. Fireghters worked an additional 20 minutes to wet down the re area.
There were a total of eight reghters and ofcers manning two engines, one tanker, and one
command vehicle at the re. Mutual aid from Nashua and Litcheld was returned before their arrival
and there were no injuries reported. The shed and its contents suffered
heavy damage during the blaze. The cause of the re remains under
investigation.
While reghters were responding to the shed re call, they spotted
a brush re in the area of Pelham Road. A Hudson forestry command
vehicle and a Nashua engine responded to that call.

Rainy weather can arrive any time of year. While an afternoon spent
indoors watching the drops fall can be relaxing, driving in the rain is
anything but. It requires extra concentration and improved reaction
time. Rainy conditions can be challenging and treacherous, and
drivers should proceed with caution on rain-slicked roads.
Rain is blamed for many accidents, but many of these situations
are largely preventable among drivers who adapt to the weather and
roadway conditions. Here are some things to consider.
* Reduced visibility occurs from wiper blades, glare (particularly
at night) and heavy downpours. When you are unable to see the road
aheadreduce your speed. If the rain is coming down in torrents, pull
over to the side of the road and wait for a respite. Turn on your lights to
ensure you are visible to other cars on the road.
* Recognize that rain can cause slick conditions. A lm of water
develops on the roadways, and that can affect the performance of
your vehicles tires. Less traction means the car can
slip and slide. Hydroplaning, or coasting on the
surface of the water, is common. Another, lesser-
known condition is slickness caused by grease and
oil in the asphalt. During a long dry spell, these
substances build up on the roads. When it rains,
the oil and water doesnt mix, bringing the oils
to the surface and exacerbating slick conditions.
The rst few hours of a rainstorm can be quite
dangerous until heavier rains wash the oils away.
* Water spraying up onto tires and brakes can
compromise braking ability. That means it could
take longer to stop under wet conditions. Do not
tailgate and leave extra room between vehicles.
If you drive through a puddle of water, pump
the brakes and test them out to be sure you can
stop. Brake
earlier so that
other drivers
understand
your intentions
and can react
accordingly.
* Avoid
extremely
large puddles.
First of all, you
cannot judge
the depth of
the puddle
and you
may end up
getting stuck,
especially
in the event of
roadway
ooding.
Water
splashing into
the engine
compartment
may damage
electrical
components.
Steer around
puddles to be
on the safe
side.
* Use extra
care watching
out for
pedestrians.
A normally
observant
person may
be distracted
by the rain,
puddles and
wrangling
an umbrella
and veer into the path of cars. * Change wiper blades twice per year.
You do not want to be caught with shoddy wiper blades in poor
conditions. Without an effective wiper blade, rain cannot be cleared
effectively from the windshield.
* Limit distractions inside of the car to focus even more of your
attention on the road. While some have become accustomed to
answering phone calls or elding questions from the backseat while
driving, avoid such distractions when driving in the rain. Turn down
the radio if you must and encourage passengers to remain quiet until
safely home.
* Leave extra time to get to your destination. Rain causes slowing
down of trafc. Rushing may increase your risk of being in an
accident, so always leave extra travel time when driving in wet
conditions.
Making a few adjustments improves safety on the roadways.
Tips When Driving in Rainy Conditions
Few decisions weigh as heavily on automobile owners as their
choice of mechanic. A good mechanic goes a long way toward
ensuring drivers and their passengers stay safe on the road and that
those drivers vehicles perform at their peak for years to come. Thats
an important role to play, and its why many drivers acknowledge
that choosing a mechanic is a decision that should not be taken
lightly.
Rest assured you dont need to be a car guy or gal to nd a
trustworthy and talented mechanic. You might just need to open a
dialogue with a prospective mechanic, discussing a handful of topics
that can help you feel more comfortable and know you have made
the right choice in automotive service provider once a nal decision
has been made.
Certication
Certication can go a long way toward helping drivers nd me-
chanics they can trust. The National Institute for Automotive Service
Excellence was founded in 1972 and continues to work to improve
the quality of automotive service and repair by testing automotive
technicians and certifying those who live up to or exceed ASE stan-
dards. An ASE-certied technician should have his or her credentials
readily available to prospective customers, and these credentials list
each professionals area of certication. When shopping for a new
mechanic, make sure that he or she is ASE-certied. In addition,
discuss with the mechanic his or her work history, including any ad-
ditional areas of expertise.
Pricing policies
Many mechanics offer free estimates, but that should not be taken
for granted. When bringing a car in for an estimate, drivers should
conrm with the mechanic who will conduct the examination if the
estimate is free or if they will be charged an inspection fee.
In addition to any fees regarding estimates, drivers should also
inquire about labor costs and the payment policies at the facility.
Labor can be quite expensive, so its best that you know these rates
in advance of any repairs being conducted on your vehicle. Its also
important to get a rundown of the company payment policies, espe-
cially if your vehicle is in need of potentially costly repairs. You dont
want the bill to shock you once the work has been completed, so
dont hesitate to be inquisitive before leaving a car at the garage.
Parts
Replacing parts on a
vehicle is a cause for concern
for many drivers, and right-
fully so. Consumer advocacy
groups have exposed many
mechanics who pass off
used auto parts as new parts,
charging their customers
new part prices along the
way. While theres no way
drivers can guarantee they
wont fall victim to such
criminal behavior, they can
inquire about company poli-
cies regarding vehicle parts.
Does the garage even install
used parts? If so, do they let
drivers choose either new or
used parts before any work
is done? If the garage only uses new parts, ask for parts with solid
warranties, so if the part must be replaced, you wont have to pay for
it again.
Documentation
The preowned vehicle market is thriving, and drivers who take
care of their vehicles have earned the right to reap their rewards
for being good owners when it comes time to sell the car. When
interviewing prospective mechanics, ask if they are willing to pro-
vide detailed documentation of any work they do on your vehicle.
Such documentation can then be shared with prospective buyers
when you want to sell the car, and it also serves as a way to keep
the garage accountable for all the work they have done on the car
throughout your relationship.

BFL Area 4/25.indd 1 4/21/14 4:51 PM
by Marc Ayotte
The Alvirne baseball team has had a difcult beginning to the 2014 campaign; opening up with
three straight losses. To their credit, however, the Broncos have been in every game, losing all three
by a combined ve runs. In the season opener, they were able to plate only one run in the 4-1 loss
at Manchester Central (2-2). Two days later in their home opener, Coach Mike Lees legion battled
undefeated and visiting Pinkerton (4-0) into the last inning, but dropped a tough one run decision to the
Astros, 7-6. In another one
run game against Spaulding
on April 21, the Broncos
were hard-luck losers once
again; dropping a gut-
wrenching 1-0 pitchers
duel that took 10 innings to
decide.
In the home opener
against the early season,
division-leading Astros, the
Broncos offense displayed
its best output to date.
Starting pitcher Ethan Beals
received the early hook
from Lee after allowing two
runs on three hits without
retiring a batter. However,
Matt McKinley (2.1 IP, 4
ER) entered in relief and
shut-down Pinkertons rst
inning burst. The Broncos
answered with a single
run in the home half of the rst when Dan Brown led off with a free pass and then crossed the plate after
Derek Hudson lined a single past rst base and down the right eld line.
McKinley blanked the Astros in the top of the second, allowing the Broncos to score twice in the
bottom half and take a 3-2 lead. After Cam Blake was victimized via a circus catch by centerelder Chris
Geressie, Alvirne proceeded to load the bases. Tyler Brown lined a solid single up the middle, Anthony
Cestrone was hit by a pitch, and Dan Brown received a four pitch walk. With two outs, Derek Hudsons
ineld grounder was booted, allowing two unearned runs.
In the Astros third, the rst two batters reached before McKinley fanned the next two, but he soon ran
out of steam. Geressie lined a two RBI double down the left eld line and then starting pitcher Connor
Donahue helped his own cause by going yard; capping a four-run fourth and chasing McKinley from
the hill with a 6-3 lead. Robbie Flohr came in and struck out Tom Diskin to end the inning, and would
continue to blank the Astros until the decisive last inning.
Alvirne got most of that back in their half of the third, as they tied the score at six apiece. Jacen
Hudson received a one-out walk followed by a Cam Blake shot to right eld, putting runners on the
corners. Tyler Brown then singled
through the hole between third and
short, scoring Hudson. A successful
sacrice bunt by Cestrone moved both
base runners into scoring position. Dan
Browns ensuing single plated two runs
including brother-Tyler who scored after
the ball was misplayed by left elder
Ryan Flammia.
Both teams posted bagels for the next
three innings but Pinkerton took the
lead for good in the top of the seventh.
Nate Rossi lined a one-out double to the
left centereld fence and later scored
on an end of the bat ineld single by
Donahue. The Broncos were unable
to tie things up in the bottom of the
seventh; stranding Dan Brown at rst
after drawing his third walk of the game.
Campbell Cougars
Track Teams Compete
at Monadnock High School
by Phillip Nichols
On April 17, Campbell High Boys and Girls track teams traveled to Monadnock High School to take
on six other teams in their second meet of the season.
Coach Kevin Hodge reported that the girls nished in sixth place, while the boys nished third.
With the sixth place nish for the Lady Cougars, several individuals did extremely well. Jamie
Minervini ran the 1600-meter in 6:31 seconds
(second place nish), while Samantha Parzch
pole-vaulted to a height of 6 feet 6 inches (second
place nish). Adding to the great early season
improvements, Elizabeth McGregor propelled the
Javelin 69 feet 10 inches to take second place.
Alissa Picard showed her power in the long
jump by taking rst place with a nal leap of 15
feet.
The Lady Cougars 4x100 Relay team,
consisting of Picard, Reinitzer, Roy and Parzch,
took third place with a time of 57.1 seconds.
In the nal analysis, the Lady Cougars team, as
a whole, earned 44 points and nished in sixth
place.
The boys nished in third place with 95 points.
Likewise, there are a few Cougars who you
should keep your eye on as the season progresses.
Two specialists in their events happen to be
brothers.
Sean Munnelly participated in the 400 meter
run and nished in rst place with a time of 50.8
seconds, while his brother, Sam Munnelly earned
third place in the 800 meter run. Sam ran the
800 meter in a time of 2:21.6 seconds.
In the 300 meter Hurdles, Trevor Rizzo took
third place with a time of 52.8 seconds and Gabe
Rosa cleared 5 feet 2 inches in the High Jump
(third place). Ben Billings demonstrated his skill
in the pole vault where he lifted himself to 11 feet
6 inches, earning second place.
The Cougars relay teams represented
themselves very well. The 4x100 Relay team
consisting of Billings, Rosa, Robinson and Perry,
nished in second place with a time of 49.1
seconds.
Sam Munnelly teamed up with Jefferies,
Beuragard and Periygn to take second place in the
4x800 Relay in a time of 9:20.8.
The Munnelly brothers, along with Nordyke
and Periygn showed that they are a team to be
chased in the 4x400 relay. This combination ran
the race in 3:52.4 and took rst place.
Overall it was a good day for the Campbell
Cougars and they will continue to improve as the
season moves along.
The Campbell Cougars will host their next
home meet on May 1, at 4 p.m., and would love
for you to come out to support them.
