Russian Egg Art
by Laurie Jasper
Marina Forbes brought Russian culture to Hudson on
Sunday, March 6, with her program entitled Faberge Eggs:
From Fine Art to Fine Craft at Rodgers Memorial Library. The
unique program combined a slide show presentation on the
life of Russian master jeweled egg artist, Peter Carl Faberge,
as well as Russian music. Forty-five people of all ages signed
up to attend the talk and then learned how to paint images on
wooden eggs using traditional Russian techniques and designs.
The program was free to participants and sponsored by the
librarys Zylonis Fund.

by Len Lathrop
Over the past 18 years that Bryan Lane has worked for the school
district, your Hudson~Litcheld News has reported many times
about many different things. The list is long, but the one thing that
always remained the same was that Lane was professional. He
never told us anything that was not appropriate or protected due to
a number of reasons, such as employment issues dealt with in nonpublic, or minutes being sealed. Lane always understood, though,
that the paper had to ask the questions.
Tuesdays meeting was no different; the papers list of questions
was prepared, but the basic information is Lanes resignation was
accepted on March 7 at the School Board meeting. Starting July 1,
2016, he will be at the Wilton-Lyndeborough Cooperative School
District, as Superintendent.
The Wilton-Lyndeborough Cooperative School District has
significantly fewer students than the Hudson district. Hudson board
minutes show a student population of almost 3,700 in grades K-12,
while NH Department of Education has the Wilton-Lyndeborough
Cooperative School District enrolled with 570 students.
Asked about his leaving due to the repeat termination threats
that the Hudson School Board seemed to level his way every other
year and, as you expect, Lane had no comment. Little may ever be
known; after the last time his contract was not renewed the minutes
of the meeting were sealed for 25 years. When the conversation
turned to must have been pretty bad here, it seems you will have
more travel and less money. Quickly, no comment was offered, but
Lane confided that the drive time will be about double, increasing
to 50 minutes. Just is no easy way to get to Wilton-Lyndeborough
from Derry, Lane said.
Lane moved the direction of the talk to what that school
district was looking for; he mentioned only three buildings: an
elementary school and a junior/senior high school, and where the
Kiwanis Hall, Melendy Road, Hudson
superintendents office is located is where the kindergarten holds

classes, so Lane guesses he is the principal of the kindergarten. The
district buildings have gone through recent renovations and the
current superintendent is leaving as she wanted to be only part-time;
the school board feels they need a full-time leader.
When asked if Lane had a magic wand what would be changed?
As the general election was just starting, he hoped that the new
teachers contract would be passed as it would mean a new
direction for Hudson; getting teachers and keeping them in the
system is very important to the learning process. Asked if this
contract is too good for the union as it is for five years and not the
standard three years as seen in New Hampshire, Lane agreed that
this might be the first five-year teacher contract in New Hampshire;
but with the concessions that the teachers made in the health care
insurance it is a good deal for the taxpayer also. The step scale
changed but still has 18 steps; as it stands it takes 18 years to
reach the top pay. It is a longer timeframe than many other school
systems. Salem, for example, has only 13 steps. Teachers need to
come to Hudson and stay in Hudson.
As our meeting came to a close, everyone should know that Lane
is committed to leaving Hudson in the same professional manner
that his 18 years here have always exhibited. And as Lane disclosed
after 18 years, Hudson is important to me.

Resignation of

School Board and the District success. The Hudson School Board
immediately will begin its search for a new superintendent.

Remember Hudson When ...

Ferry Street Fire Station c. 1926
submitted by Ruth Parker
The Hudson Fire Department takes its
origin back to 1892 when the Hudson
Hose Company was founded by a group
of volunteers. This independent company
raised its own funds for equipment and
expenses. Individuals paid dues, were
fined for missed meetings, and engaged
in fundraisers. Their first project was the
building of the Old Hose House on Central
Street just above the Methodist (now
Community) Church. Individuals pledged
time in order to supply the necessary
labor. This building was sufficient to house
early equipment and provide a place for
volunteers to meet.
In 1913 this group purchased the Kelly
Springfield truck by public subscription at
a cost of $1,030. Individuals signed a note
at The Nashua Trust Company. This vehicle
is said to be the first piece of motorized
fire equipment used in New Hampshire.
The next year this truck and the balance of
payments were turned over to the town with the understanding that
the truck would be housed near the bridge. Prior to this time the
town had not formerly helped the department. Through this action,
and payment of a small salary, our early firefighters were able to
join the States Firemens Relief Association. The Kelly was housed
in a garage on Campbell Avenue donated by Charles Norton. As
the department expanded and more equipment was purchased, the
move was made to the House Brothers Garage on Ferry Street.
In April 20, 1926, the Osgood Construction company of Nashua
Fire House and Department members, c. 1926

was awarded the contract for a new fire house for the Hudson
Department; built for Raymond House. Details were finalized and
work started immediately. The press release in the local paper April
20, 1926, stated that part of the old garage was moved to make room
for the new engine house. The Town of Hudson had signed a fiveyear lease with Mr. House for this new station which had two vehicle
stalls, an office and lounging room for members of the department,
as well as a sleeping room. It was a bungalow-style building made
of brick and concrete blocks. Brick on the front and concrete

Rosa says, We teach

blocks on the sides. The new building was

expected to be ready for occupancy in a few
months. This station was located on Ferry
Street, opposite and slightly north of the
intersection with Campbell Avenue; about
where the Gulf Station is now located.
A vote was recorded to have a photograph
of department members in front of the
newly completed station in the mid 1920s.
The photo of the Ferry Street Station c. 1926
seen here could be the result of that motion.
The photo shows the two-stall station, the

This Ferry Street station served the department and the community
until sometime after World War II when it was expanded to a fourstall station. Then, as town growth occurred in the early 1950s,
the Central Fire station (now Leonard Smith station) was built on
the corner of Library and School streets. In time, the Ferry Street
building was razed to make way for the access roads leading to and
from the bridges. Photo from the Historical Society collection.

Letters to our Editor
Thanking Hudson Voters
rising up the ladder of high-stakes poker politics.

Instead of prancing around for photo-ops and campaign-speak, she
should be in a three-year period of mourning for 938 dead New Hampshire
citizens and counting.
Lets be honest folks, instead of being proper because of this or any other
person who might be governor, this governors performance is a disgrace, it
does not equate to rising up the ladder. It equates to banishment. She has
no soul or anyone associated with her.
Thank you for considering publishing my Opinion Offering for the
HLN March 11 edition, even though I realize it is a very strongly expressed
opinion for the sensitivities of some Hudson~Litchfield News folks and maybe
within Area News Group; especially folks who cotton to this governor for
whatever reason.
I cannot express how excited the Alvirne Track Team is knowing that the
track renovation plan passed with overwhelming support. I would like to
thank all of the Hudson residents who voted. Our voter turnout was higher
than many had expected.

The Governor of Death and Denial

Its appalling but not surprising to me that this current Governor, being
promoted by her handlers for the U.S. Senate, has the recognition of being
the Governor on Duty as [1] 938 NH citizens have died in three years
from drug overdoses and is just now starting to do something about it,
and [2] that $30-some-million was unspent/denied to provide services to
NH citizens with developmental disabilities on the waiting list (who as a
lawyer got herself into politics as a crusader for the rights of those very same
developmentally disabled NH citizens.)
In my (fantasy) world, a governor with this kind of legacy would resign
from office and withdraw from public life with a burden of shame for her
gross failures to provide compassionate care for her fellow NH human
beings. But people like this governor, with her past in the legal profession,
Im not surprised at all that her political party and handlers dont consider
her to be toxic, an embarrassment, a liability, a black mark. Nothing ever
surprises me with what these political animals are capable of just to keep

Annual Bunny Breakfast Changed

The GFWC Hudson junior Womans Club is sorry to announce that due
to circumstances beyond our control we will not be sponsoring our annual
Bunny Breakfast this year. Instead, we are partnering with the Rodgers
Memorial Library to organize the Bunny Blast. It will be held at the
library on Saturday, March 19, from 9 to 11 a.m. We will have our usual
Kids Crafts, and pictures with the Easter Bunny (bring your own camera);
and there will be pastries and breads as well as Easter goodies. We are very
grateful to the library for offering to collaborate with us on this event, and
In My Opinion...
we hope lots of you can join us for this Easter/Spring celebration.

Linda Kipnes, President, GFWC Hudson Junior Womans Club
Thank You Judy Barry

My name is Leslie Liakos and I have been a teacher in the Hudson
School District for 36 years. I have loved every minute of teaching fourth
graders and revel in their accomplishments. Such great kids, parents, and
memories! Today, I would like to thank judy Barry, who was an incredible
teacher, mentor, and influence for my son when he was a student at
Alvirne High School. She encouraged my son, made learning fun, and
taught him to believe in himself! Today, my son is a successful man who
has accomplished his dream of becoming involved in movies and Tv as a
director. judy Barry was the teacher who encouraged him to achieve his
dream. She helped him through difficult high school courses, while praising
him for his accomplishments and never allowing him to feel defeated when
feeling overwhelmed. judy Barry is the teacher that I wish all high school
kids could have. She is a true lover of all kids regardless of their so-called
learning ability. All kids shine when they have a teacher who truly cares
about them and loves them. To this day, my son credits judy Barry for his
success due to her compassion, dedication, humor, inspiration, and love for
kids! Thank you, judy Barry! You will always be our Teacher of the Year.

Chose a Temperature Trend, Heres the Menu

by Bruce Atwood
At the surface of the Earth, where climate is defined,
and where we live, the temperature trend is up. But
in the upper atmosphere, in the stratosphere, the
temperature trend is down (something to do with ozone
emissions).
In the atmosphere in between, the temperature trend
changes from down to up, so we see any trend in
between, and we can show just about any trend we want.
Here is the menu of data, taken by thermometers on balloons at several
locations. On the left are trends for lower altitudes. On the right are trends
for higher altitudes:
If you want to see if the Globe is warming, look in the oceans, where
about 90 percent of the extra heat caused by CO2 goes. A

If you want to show dramatic cooling, pick one of the upper plots on the
right, for the stratosphere above 16,000 meters.
If you want a plot with no warming at all, pick the plot on the right in
blue, for 11,800 meters. (This is at 12 km, 7 miles, or 39,000 feet, just
above where passenger jets fly. It is cold up there. The weather reports
usually do not report it, because nobody lives there.)
If you want to show some warming, pick a plot from the
left, in the troposphere, nearer to the warming surface.
See that we can choose almost any warming trend we want
somewhere in the atmosphere.
But if you want to see how the climate is changing, look at

(The plot at top right has been slightly adjusted to correct

problems with the historical data. The raw data, which shows
even more warming, can be seen in the lower part of figure 2
at science.sciencemag.org/content/348/6242/1469.full. The
adjustments to modern global data after 1940 are negligible.
Satellite data for the atmosphere is less certain.)
Remember, climate is defined where we live, at the surface of the Earth,

not up where the jets fly.
And be on the lookout for data from the atmosphere or the middle
troposphere, as it can show any trend desired.

Now that the elections

are over and God help us as
the direction of our school
district and the town will
change - from the Foxs closeto-the-ground position there
are a few questions that might
make you think.
Lets start with a picture
question - for those driving
on Central street last week, did you have a chance to read the
Recreation sign in front of the pickle ball courts (former skate
park) and even
former Highway
Garage - not part
of the question,
but an effort to
get everyone
located. Was this
a use of taxpayer
funds to tell you
how to vote? It is
not informational;
it is directive
to vote yes on
Article 15 and Article 20. But at least it said please.
I guess if that is the biggest issue that the Fox saw this week,
then things might not be bad, but then again ...
The Fox might get many wrong, but not when it counts.
Something that Leonardo da Vinci said is important as we look
at our social system, Nothing strengthens authority so much as
silence. And I guess that the Fox, who tries to always see good,
is jaded by what is happening around us. As the Fourth Estate
was part of the English government, one of the statements that
came out of that time was, If you dont have moral courage you
dont have journalism.
What happens when an airplane dumps fuel before an
emergency landing - where does that fuel go?
While it was great to see our teachers all over town on
Saturday holding signs asking for your support of their five-year
contract, did you ask why they are so excited about this contract?
Is it a great advancement for them? Our starting salary should not
be the lowest in the area, but will the new step raises that go into
effect next year seem to change that? The Fox just doesnt know,
but is there a school board member who does not have children
in the system? Why a five- year contract when in the past it
was always a three-year contract? The Fox did not review the
contract; Superintendent Lane presented that the stated increase
of over $500,000 in the second year of the agreement will be
offset by health care savings.
Tuesdays results are in on the towns side: no fire station
on Lowell Road and, as the now only senior statesman in the
selectmens office, Roger Coutu - while Ted Luszey is there and
always has ideas and plans - it makes Coutu the enforcer if
anything gets out of hand. And of course, the question will be
who will be the chairman (or woman). Soccer families should
be elated as a second field at Freedom Fields was a campaign
promise, not a bad thing for Hudson.
The Foxs abacus is moving and the color beads are jumping
from one row to another. On the school side it appears to be
$14.48 per thousand, thus a $300,000 home will see a request
for $4,344; that would be an increase for this years rate of
$13.62 which leaves a levy of $4,086. As the time to go to print
was here, those numbers will have to wait until next week.

Kuster Convenes Field Hearing on Opioid

Prescribing and VA Pain Management Practices
submitted by the Ofce of Congresswoman Annie Kuster
Friday, March 4, Ranking Member Congresswoman Annie Kuster
(NH-02) hosted the House Veterans Affairs Committee (HVAC)
Oversight and Investigations (O&I) Subcommittee for a field hearing
in New Hampshire. The hearing, entitled Addressing VA Opioid
Prescriptions and Pain Management Practices, examined current
pain management practices within the Veterans Administration and
its connection to the ongoing opioid epidemic sweeping across
New Hampshire and the rest of the country.
As Ranking Member on the O&I Subcommittee, it was an
honor to bring todays hearing to New Hampshire and to hold
this important conversation with some of the Granite States

todays witnesses for taking the time to be a part of todays hearing.

Its clear that VAs over-reliance on prescription opiates to
address chronic pain has been harmful to both veterans and our
nation, said Representative Mike Coffman, Chairman of the House
Veterans Affairs Subcommittee on O&I. If it is shown that safe
and effective alternative treatments are working at White River
Junction or at other VA centers, VA should ensure these programs
are implemented nationwide. I look forward to continuing to
work with Representative Kuster on moving these potentially lifechanging treatments forward.
Id like to thank the House Veterans Affairs Committee for
hosting this important field hearing today in New Hampshire, where
we have one of the countrys highest proportions of U.S. military
veterans, said Representative Frank
Guinta. In Congress, my colleagues
and I are constantly looking for ways
to improve their health care at the
Veterans Administration. In the middle
of an opiate and heroin epidemic,
affecting nearly every demographic, we
must be especially careful that vets in
need of pain management assistance
do not become victims of opiate overprescription, leading to other forms of
drug abuse. As a founding member of
the Bipartisan Task Force to Combat
the Heroin Epidemic, I appreciate the
opportunity to hear from the experts
and to add their advice to legislative
solutions in Congress.

Piece of the Pie
The Tax Return- The Value of Fringe Benefits (Part 1)

W.F.Boutin EA - Total Tax Solutions LLC
Many employers offer their employees a fringe benefit package.

These packages can range from elective deferral plans such as a
401K, Thrift Savings Plan, 403B tax sheltered annuity plan, or
cafeteria/section 125 plan that offers a menu of benefits that can be
purchased with pre-tax dollars. Some employers offer benefits
which are completely paid for by the employer such as adoption
assistance plans, dependent care assistance, educational assistance,
that is excludable within certain established limits from the
employees earned income.
When these benefits are paid for from the taxpayers salary on a
pre-taxed basis, taxpayers are able to lower their gross income, AGI
and taxable income on the tax return. In the majority of cases, this
will save the taxpayer considerable tax dollars. There are the
exceptions for individuals within a particular income bracket and
filing status that actually will lose tax dollars from partaking in these
benefit plans. A seasoned tax professional should be able to explain
if participation in these types of plans is beneficial for your particular circumstances.
Elective deferral plans are savings plans geared for your retirement. These deferrals are not subject to income tax until you receive
distributions from the plan at some future point in time. The intent is
that you will be in a lower tax bracket at the time of retirement or at
the same level. Many employers also offer a contribution match up
to a certain percent of the employees salary, for those who participate in such a plan. Lets look at an example of how this all works.
John, a single taxpayer, has gross income from wages of $82,000.
According to the tax tables he is in a 25% tax bracket. He has no
other income. After we deduct his standard deduction and personal
exemption in 2015, his taxable income is $71,700, of which
$34,250 is still in the 25% tax bracket. His employer offers a 401K
plan that allows him to contribute up to 10% of his salary with an
employer match of up to 5%. John elects to contribute 10% of his
salary or $8200. His employer will match up to 5%, so he will
receive the additional amount of $4100 tax free to work towards his
retirement. This $12,300 only cost John $6150.00 since if he had
not deferred the $8200, he would be paying $2050 in federal taxes
on this income (he is in a 25%tax bracket and he would not have
received his employer match).
Ironically, John also had some education expenses to deduct this
year. The phase out range for a single person for this credit is
between $80,000 and $90,000 in 2015. Before he deferred some of
his income to his retirement fund, his AGI was the same as his
wages $82,000, so part of his credit was not allowed. By contributing to his 401K, he has lowered his gross income and his AGI to
$73,800. He will now be allowed full credit for his education
expenses.
As stated before, each taxpayers situation is different based upon
other information on their particular income tax return. A change in
one area of the return can affect several other areas, so when
making decisions, the total picture must be reviewed.

About Total Tax Solutions: W.F. Boutin EA registered Total Tax
Solutions in the State of NH as a LLC in the summer of 2006 after 10
years experience working for a major tax preparation company and 8
years of teaching basic level and advanced tax courses. The
company mission is to deliver an excellent customer service experience year around, to offer knowledgeable advice so that clients can
make informed decisions regarding their financial future, and to
provide this service with integrity, confidence and professionalism
where she pushes for increased transparency at the VA and helps to

lead the charge in Washington on the need to address the heroin crisis.
The daughter of a World War II veteran, Congresswoman Kuster has
long advocated for the needs of New Hampshire veterans, and she
frequently holds veteran roundtables, forums, and job fairs for Granite
State veterans across the district.
As addiction to opioids has risen dramatically across the Granite
State, Kuster has also prioritized efforts to address the opioid crisis
by holding regional briefings to hear directly from local community
members, and by highlighting the issue at the federal level through
her work in Congress. Last year, Kuster helped introduce bipartisan
legislation that aims to attack the epidemic from a number of different
angles, including through increased grant funding and improved
coordination among federal agencies. As co-founder of a Bipartisan
Task Force to Combat the Heroin Epidemic, Kuster brings together
experts from federal agencies to coordinate efforts to fight the
epidemic. She has also attended ride-alongs with law enforcement
officials in Nashua, Keene, and Franklin, providing her with a direct
look at the challenges facing law enforcement and local communities.
These experiences help Kuster continue to lead efforts in Congress to
bring an end to opioid abuse in New Hampshire.

submitted by John Collins

You might be surprised to talk to our
patients or their parents. The groans
associated with visiting the dentist have been
replaced by excited shouts of I have no
cavities! or This was a lot of fun! A large
part of pediatric dentistry is encouraging
patients and parents alike that visits to the
dentist are fun, and proper home care helps
limit those visits to once every 6 months. Dr.
Collins and her team of skilled, caring dental
professionals do this every day.
Children who have early positive dental
experiences are more likely to maintain
regular dental visits and excellent at-home
dental care as adults, explains Dr. Collins.
We provide a comfortable setting and
establish confidence so that each of our
patients can achieve and maintain optimal
dental health. From the moment children
walk into the office, we want to build a
relationship with the patient, establish trust,
and set the stage for excellent oral care now
and in the future.
Dr. Collins is proud to be listed among the
Top Pediatric Dentists in the state for the past
several years. But despite her achievements,
Dr. Collins and her staff continue to improve
their clinical and patient care skills by
attending continuing education courses in
their respective fields. Dr. Collins constantly

strives to stay abreast of the ever-changing
field of dentistry and improvements in dental
technology. She participates in various
educational activities so she can provide
quality services to her patients, ranging from
about 1 year of age through college age.
Dr. Collins is excited to announce the
addition of two more pediatric dentists to the
team. Both doctors will be starting in July
after completion of their Pediatric Residency
Programs. The addition of these dentists
will allow us to continue treating our many
existing patients as well as provide dental
care to many others seeking treatment.
Dr. Collins remarks, We encourage
parents to bring their children in when the
first tooth emerges. We make that first dental
visit short, enjoyable and very comfortable.
We encourage parents to establish a dental
home where we can monitor each childs
dental condition because poor dental hygiene
may affect sleep, social relationships, and
overall health.

in either Nashua or Pelham, please visit

your child on a lifelong journey of good
dental habits.

Academy and Child Care
Early Start Learning Academy
Weekly Library
One of the most important decisions a parent
can make is where to send their child for their first
educational experience. Your childs interactions
in these settings are an important and exciting
starting point for your childs educational journey.
Early Start Learning Academy (the only Licensed
Plus center in Hudson) will be sure that your
child has a positive experience for their very first
educational schooling. A licensed plus center
represents a quality rating that recognizes New
Hampshires child care programs that go above
and beyond the requirements put in place by
the Childcare Licensing Bureau. The school is
concerned not only with the successful academic
education of your child, but also the successful
emotional and social developmental skills as well.
The building is made for children with its large
windows and bright, clean, spacious classrooms.
The building sits on over two acres of land, which
allows for multiple outdoor play areas. Outside
play is such an important part of childhood.
The playground areas let children practice and
enhance their large motor and cooperative play
skills. An outdoor learning environment also
allows them to explore and learn while using their
imaginations.
The academy offers a variety of programs within
the curriculum, including field trips, plays, weekly
visits with the librarian, Handwriting without
Tears and Beginning Reading Series that include
phonological awareness, pattern predictable text,
sight words, vocabulary and comprehension. The
curriculum uses a multi-sensory based approach
for the emergent reader. This approach enables
learners to capitalize on their language and
reading skills, while strengthening their weakness.

This combines a strong literature program that
includes a rich mixture of written and oral
language with organized, direct instruction to
meet the needs of each individual child.
During the summer months, a very fun and
exciting summer camp program is offered for
children 18 months to 6 years of age. This
program offers summertime flexibility. Parents

and Making Masterpieces (Aug. 22-Aug. 26).
Each session runs for two weeks at a time (except
Making Masterpieces - one week) ... come join in
the fun!

Hudson Chamber of Commerce: Membership has its Advantages

The Greater Hudson Chamber of Commerce offers a myriad of
opportunities for their business members while also committing to
improving the community where we all live and do business. The
Greater Hudson Chamber is committed to improving the vitality
and quality of life of the community by utilizing the support, talent
and resources of its members creating stronger relations within our
community. The chamber believes communities that prosper and
succeed begin with creating businesses that thrive and succeed, and
it is dedicated to support all local businesses for the benefit of the
community.
Members of the GHCC form a dedicated and aware group of
civic-minded business leaders as well as men and women of our
community working together to promote positive growth. Being
a member of the GHCC means investing in the future of the area.
Chamber members are businesses, organizations, and individuals

concerned with the socio-economic climate of our community.
These businesses have joined together because they know they stand
a better chance of getting things done when they speak as one voice.
As the chamber works to improve your communitys economy and
quality of life, their primary objectives are to help businesses prosper
and grow, to increase job opportunities, to encourage an orderly
expansion and development of all segments of the community, and
to contribute to the overall economic stability and quality of life of
the community.
The Greater Hudson Chamber of Commerce serves as the
front door to the business community to jointly undertake major
projects that could not be accomplished as an individual business.
Membership within the GHCC offers members a stronger voice
in the business community, keeping with the adage that there is
strength in numbers, achieving success in our community.
We are here to support the community and as an advocate for
our businesses, stated GHCC Executive Director Brenda Collins.
We strive to bring the business community the necessary and
important resources to help them grow and prosper. The Hudson
Chamber works to help build business-to-business relationships and
community connection.
Many benefits of belonging to the chamber are offered to promote
business at no cost, including a free listing in the GHCC Member
Online Directory with a free link to your company website, a free
listing of job opportunities and commercial real estate listings, free
networking events, free membership lists, and all our members
are encouraged to display their marketing collateral for free at the
chambers office.
The most invaluable benefits would be the relations, business and
personal, achieved as a result of membership. Regular networking
opportunities, offered free of charge to chamber members, are held
to assist the business owner to network with other local, like-minded
business people, which offers you a personal connection with
prospective clients, employees, and associates. These face-to-face
interactions build personal credibility, as well as personal contacts
building networks not just networking. The GHCC does all this
while maintaining the lowest dues structure in the state of New
Hampshire.
The GHCC not only supports local businesses - they also support
the community by hosting an annual charity event for the St. John
Food Pantry and providing scholarships for Hudsons junior citizens.
The GHCC has donated back to the community in excess of $95,000
during the past 16 years through the generosity of the business
community.
The chamber accomplishes their goals by providing meetings
with speakers on important relevant subjects, scheduling Business
After Hours and providing members an opportunity to meet
fellow members and make business contacts, offering advertising
opportunities, as well as sponsorships in various programs organized
by the chamber.
One of the most exciting events for a business, whether new
or existing, is celebrating a grand opening, anniversary, or recent
achievement. The Greater Hudson Chamber of Commerce offers
its assistance in the planning and preparation of your ribbon cutting
ceremony. They provide the giant scissors and the ribbon. The
staff will photograph the event to preserve the moment and send
out press releases to the local media.
Greater Hudsons Chamber of Commerce is a voluntary
partnership of business and professional people working together to
build a healthy economy and to improve the quality of life in your
community. As the Greater Hudson Chamber of Commerce works
to accomplish these goals, it wears many hats: economic developer
and planner; tourist information center; business spokesperson;
government relations specialist; human resources advisor; and
public relations practitioner. Simply stated, the Greater Hudson
Chamber of Commerce is business and professional people working
together to make your community a better place for everyone to
live and work. Being a member of the Greater Hudson Chamber
of Commerce is good for business; your business - and it is an
investment in your community because business fuels our economy.
More information about the Greater Hudson Chamber of Commerce
can be found at www.HudsonChamber.com or visiting them at 71

Windham Orthodontics
Spring Fling Promotion
Dr. Danielle Ross, DMD, PC, owner of
Windham Orthodontics, provides orthodontic
care for adults, adolescents and children. She is
passionate about her patients and takes the time
to get to know each one of them. She offers a
warm, comfortable environment, but also always
makes it fun to be a patient! There are patient
contests that change regularly, fun and informative
Facebook postings, and special surprises when
treatment is complete.
Dr. Ross has been treating patients in southern
NH since 2002 and has received the NH Top
Dentist award for the last eight consecutive years.
She is an Invisalign Premier Preferred provider, a
distinction awarded to only the top five percent of
Invisalign providers.
In addition to orthodontic care, Dr. Ross
provides esthetic services, such as Teeth
Whitening, Botox, and Fillers. You may not have
known that orthodontists are uniquely qualified
to provide Botox/Fillers due to their extensive
education in head and neck anatomy.
Her practice, located at 25 Indian Rock Rd.
in Windham, continually strives to provide the

most up-to-date state of the art technology. It
is complete with diagnostic digital imaging
equipment, and an in-house lab. Most recently,
Dr. Ross also used an iOC scanner, a digital
scanning system which eliminates the need for
plaster, resulting in a much more comfortable
patient experience. Windham Orthodontics uses
only the highest quality orthodontic materials.
As an American Association of Orthodontics
member, Dr. Ross follows the AAO guidelines
recommending that orthodontic evaluations begin
at age seven. She will follow your childrens
growth and development at regular intervals until
they are ready to begin.

Hudson Police Looking

for Gun-Wielding Suspect
submitted by Hudson Police Department
On Wednesday, March 2, at 8:10 p.m., patrol
officers of the Hudson Police Department
responded to Walmart, located at 254 Lowell Rd.,
for an altercation where a firearm was displayed.
The dispute may have stemmed from a road
rage incident before the individuals entered the
Walmart property. Prior to the officers arrival, the
suspect motor vehicle fled the area toward Lowell
Road. The firearm was not discharged, and no
one was injured.
The suspect motor vehicle was described as a
light blue or grey Jeep Cherokee or similar style
displaying New Hampshire registration plates.

Additionally, witnesses stated that the suspect
vehicle was lifted, had a row of LED lights in
the front grille area, and a smoke stack type of
exhaust which exits over the top of the vehicle.
The driver is described as a white male.
The Hudson Police Department is asking for the
publics assistance in identifying the suspect motor
vehicle. If you have any information, you are
asked to contact the Hudson Police Department at
886-6011, the Crime Line at 594-1150 or police@
hudsonpd.com.

Thumbs down. Evidently the Republican voter
has no voice in their own party. The Republican
voter is being abused by narcissistic leadership.
Stay with the Democratic Party till 2024. While
the Democrats work on fixing the country, the
Republicans can use that time to fix their own
party.
Thumbs up. Didnt Obama restore America?
The Republican Party destroyed this country and
Obama had to pick up the pieces and restore this
country. Obamacare saved lives but Republicans
only talk about the cost of Obamacare. What
was the cost of Republicans shutting down our
country and holding us hostage? Foul mouthed
Republicans are an embarrassment so follow the
party that is most honest. Hillary and Bernie give
Americans their best choice.
Thumbs down, two thumbs down to

the Hudson School Board for letting Bryan
Lane slip through their hands. Mr. Lane, an
immensely talented and dedicated educator,
has seemingly received little support from this
group, and now leaves the community. And
to what end? To continue to tout the virtues
of someone who clearly, to use one of his pet
phrases, has no clue how to be an effective
leader? You know what is going on at
Alvirne, but youve backed the wrong horse.
To Mr. Lane, thank you for your wisdom, your
leadership, your dedication to excellence.
Godspeed.

Discussion About Ways to Save on College at AHS

by Kaylee Murphy
On Monday various Alvirne High School students learned about
how to make college more affordable. Most students who plan on
furthering their education after high school stress about the financial
burdens of a higher education. The meeting held a variety of people
from AHS guidance counselors, to people who work at NH colleges.
Tori Berube talked about NHHEAF (NH Higher Education
Assistance Foundation), which is an organization and a free resource
to help NH high school students and their families navigate through
the college application and financing process. For example they help
guide families through filling out the FASFA.
Mark Rubinstein from Granite State College explains how his
school is primarily filled with non-traditional students, adults. They
have 11 campuses across NH, which makes commuting easy.
However, they also have been ranked as one of the nations best
online courses. Its cheaper and easier to live at home and either
commute to school or take the classes in your own living room.

They also partner with community college system.

Karen Schedin is the Vice President for Enrollment
for Rivier University. Rivier was a doctoral institute
founded by nuns; although they are a Catholic-based
institution you dont have to be religious to attend.
Half of their students are commuters. They welcome
transfers from community colleges. Starting in
September they are having an Employee Promise
Program. If nine months after a student graduates
they still do not have a job, they will allow you to
enroll up to six graduate credits or theyll pay 12
months of your loans. For more information visit
their website at rivier.edu.

selection of teachers to choose from. I also
remember that I desperately wanted Mrs.
Parent as my teacher because to me she was
one of the teachers that really embodied
the fourth grade and embodied GMS. I
think for any youngster there are a group
of teachers that really dene the school or
the institution, and for me, at that time, Mrs.
Parent was one of those teachers. I did not
end up getting Mrs. Parent as a teacher, I
got Mrs. Gigerenzer, a ne teacher in her
own right, but I certainly felt Mrs. Parents
presence and her inuence nonetheless. I
think its safe to say if there were a Mount
Rushmore for teachers in Litcheld, Mrs.
Parents glowing face would be etched in
stone.
As a professional, I can say Margaret
really exemplies what it means to be
a good teacher. To her teaching style,
to her sunny disposition and warm and
welcoming personality, she is a consummate
professional who has inuenced a number
of the ne teachers we still have here in the
Litcheld School District. I know I speak
on behalf of my colleagues when I say she
has served as a stellar example of what it
means to be a good teacher and a great
ambassador of our profession.
For many generations of Litcheld
residents, Margaret has dened what it
means to be an active and engaged citizen

of the community. Her rsum, which

many of the speakers have already spoken
to, is a stellar example of what it means to
be seless and how to give back to your
community. As a civics teacher, each year I
give an assignment to my students that asks
them to carry out an act of good citizenship.
Some struggle mightily with coming up with
an idea, others try and take the easy way
out. Part of the assignment asks them to
have proof of their act by taking a picture or
video of some sort. Based on these pictures
I am amazed how many of you throw water
Poland Spring bottles and other odds and
ends onto your own front lawns and into
your own driveways. I think Margaret
knows what her next volunteer endeavor is
going to be.
Well, we spend a lot of time talking about
what it means to be a good citizen, and
what things we can do in our community,
and who in our own community embodies
these qualities. Each and every year, there is
one name that I can count on to be brought
up by the students and paraprofessionals
who live in town ... and that is Mrs. Parent.
To me that speak volumes about the impact
she has in this town and the impact she
still has on the young generation of this
community.
It really is a great honor for me to have
been able to speak this evening. I want
to thank everyone for giving me this
opportunity to honor one of the great
residents of this town. So, Margaret, Mrs.
Parent, on behalf of the teachers and
students here and Litcheld, I offer you
our sincerest gratitude for all that you have
done and continue to do for the town of
Litcheld. Congratulations, and God bless.

Team Chemistry Stops Lady Broncos in First Playoff Contest

by Len Lathrop
In NHIAA basketball, the playoff seeding is
generated directly from regular season win and loss
records. Alvirnes record of means that the number
1 ranked team plays the number 16 ranked team.
The Broncos were 13 and 5, which placed them
as number 6. Merrimack was number 11 as their
record was eight wins and 10 losses. So, first round
play put the game in the Steckevicz Gymnasium last
Wednesday night.
The Lady Broncos season ended at Steckevicz
on Wednesday due to chemistry. This team had
played all season with the same 12 players and
several ladies dressing from the Junior Varsity. While
Samantha Ratte had been out most of the season
with a leg injury and had only recently returned to
the squad, the team played well using a rotation
of four or five under the rim, to the point that the
Broncos had met the Tomahawks on Feb. 2 where
the final was 45 to 36 in favor of the Alvirne girls.
On Wednesday, starter Amanda Wetmore was out
of the game with an injury that changed the equation
of the squad. Maybe if the ladies had had a couple
of games to adjust to this new chemistry things might
have been better was a comment that Alvirnes AD
Karen Bonney mentioned as the game progressed.
The Tomahawks played hard and drew the
Broncos into their style of play. It could be seen that
Merrimack had made several adjustments coming
into the contest and played differently from the team
that was defeated in February.
While Alvirnes Coach Scott Szuksta did not
comment to the HLN, he was quoted in the
Telegraph: One of the things we struggled
with all season was depth. They are very well
coached and they did a great job getting ready for
us and making some adjustments to what we did
offensively.
Marissa Sweeney worked hard under the rim and
led all scorers with 11 points; seniors Samantha
Ratte had 10, and Jessica Baker pitched in eight
points.

seconds left to go
in regulation time,
Sam Mullett hits a
shot from the baseline to tie the game and send it into
overtime. The boys continued to battle in overtime with
great defense from Cam Jones and a final two-point shot
by Shaky Mugariri to win the game. This win, although
not pretty, solidified their spot in the Championship game.
The York, Maine, team beat Merrimack to put them into
the championship game against the Heat. The Maine
team came to play and wanted another shot at our boys.
The Hudson boys took on the York team much differently
than the first time the two teams played. With defensive
rebounds by Shamyr Roy, Kyle Boucher and Devonte
McCoy-Sophos, and steals from both Adam Scharn and
Brett McKinley, the opposition couldnt keep the ball in
their own hands. The Heat team went on to win 65 to 45
to bring home the championship trophy. The tournament
proved to be yet another great team performance by this
group of eighth graders.
Next up for the Heat will be the Manchester Suburban
League playoffs.

Hudson Heat Wins Again

submitted by Lee Mullett
For the third time in four years, the
Hudson Heat basketball team takes
home the big trophy in the Merrimack
Invitational Tournament. This years
tournament was a little different than the
past years. The competition, although
always good, proved to be much
tougher this year. The team started
out playing a scrappy team from York,
Maine, who definitely brought their A
game. Down by one with less than 10
seconds left, Paul Manzi goes up for a
layup and misses the shot. However,
Jack DeWitt was there for the rebound
and the put back for two as the buzzer
sounded for the win. With Nathan
Days assists, the boys had no problem
taking on the Londonderry eighth grade
team in their second game, but the third
game against Goffstown proved to be a
difficult one.
