Dear Valued Water Customer:
The Town of Hudson Water Utility is experiencing record water usage
due to the extreme drought conditions in Southern New Hampshire this
summer. Customers serviced by the Windham Road Booster Station are
reporting low or no water pressure, especially during the morning hours
due to the heavy demands on the station. The Town is currently working
to increase the pump capacity and reliability of the Windham Road
Booster Station that services your property and expects to have this work
completed by the end of the year. The Board of Selectmen are asking all
water utility customers serviced by the Windham Road Booster Station to
voluntarily cease all outdoor water use until September 30, 2016 in order
to ensure that all customers in this service area have sufficient pressure
for their inside needs. Your property is serviced by the Windham Road
Booster Station. The Selectmen are asking for your voluntary compliance
in ceasing all outdoor water use, especially the use of sprinklers to water
lawns. Should this step fail to alleviate the pressure problems in this
service area, it may be necessary to enforce a mandatory outdoor water
usage ban. It is the Board of Selectmens goal to ensure that all water
utility customers in this service area have enough water pressure for their
daily needs. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated.
Should you have any questions or need additional information, please
feel free to contact the Hudson Water Utility at (603) 886-6002.
Thank you for your cooperation.

Once again the Litchfield Community
steps up in support, following a motorcycle
accident.
On Wednesday, Aug. 17, just before
6 p.m., Litchfield Police and Fire were
dispatched to the Campbell High School
parking lot in response to a single-vehicle
motorcycle accident. With reports from an
off-duty EMT of serious injuries to the driver,
Hudson and Londonderry Fire Departments
also rushed to the scene, along with a request
for immediate air medical transport.
Adam Hayward, 18, of Litchfield, was the
sole occupant of the fallen motorcycle found
at the scene. Upon arrival, crews worked
to stabilize him, while responders secured

Adam and his family can see, firsthand, the overwhelming amount
of support they have behind them. Close friends Cody St. Clair,
Tyler McCrady and Colin have all donated blood to Adam to help
further progress his recovery. Adam is known as such a happy
individual among his peers. The impact this horrific accident
has had on our community is so substantial; Tyler tweeted, I just
keep calling Adams phone to hear his voice on his voicemail
Just pick up buddy so I dont gotta keep doing this Please So
many of Adams friends are eager to show him their support that
every day he maxes out the number of visitors he can have.
Finally, on Saturday, after being in a medically induced coma
for 24 hours, Adam spoke. He has battled through three tough
surgeries so far, the most recent being on Monday, all of which
have reportedly gone as well as they could. He was moved from
the ICU to the orthopedics wing on Tuesday, beginning his long
road to recovery. Adam may not be able to walk on his own in
the near future, but that will not stop his spirit from continuing to
impact the community in the positive and gracious way it always
has.
A GoFundMe page called Pray For Adam was started here:
https://www.gofundme.com/2kf5u5j8 by good friend Kimberly
Martin, to help the family pay for Adams care, and anything
related to Adams recovery. After just one day of being open,
over 150 people had donated well over $11,000 to Adam and the
Hayward family, and his page had already been shared over 1,000
times on social media. This is a simple way to show your support
to the Haywards in their time of need - every little bit helps. Please
find it in your heart to donate anything you can spare for this
wonderful family, through the link above. Letters and cards can
also be left at the Dyers house, at 8 Country Ln., Litchfield, NH
03052, in a special box on their front porch, for delivery to Adam
and his family.

a very fun and playful 7 month old

past I can be fearful at first but once
we get to know each other, I will
warm up to you and we will have the
best time together! I would do best
with an owner that has experience
with dogs similar to me. I also know
that I will be most comfortable in a
home that is adult only. I am not only
looking for a human family, but also
another dog companion. One other
dog in the house would ease me
around humans as well as keep me
occupied because after-all, I am still a
puppy! I enjoy playing a lot, especially
with my squeaky toy. I am ready to
start a new life with a caring family
that can give me the attention and
support I need. If you think we are the
right match please, come down and

While it took a long time to facilitate, School

Chairman Ted Luszey made it happen even with
several constraints: a neutral site, the Checkers

Remember Hudson When ...

Trolley Line on Central Street c. 1907
submitted by Ruth Parker
A trolley traveling along Central near Library Street has
exposed the rail lines after a recent snow storm, as shown in
this c.1907 postcard. By 1907 the Bridge section of town,
including this part of Central Street, was developing as a
residential and business center. This was facilitated by the
public transportation on the trolley, between Hudson and
Nashua.
The Methodist Church and parsonage, previously located on
Central Street near Melendy Road, had burned in 1879 and the
parish made the decision to relocate closer to the bridge and
the trolley stop. The steeple of the new brick church, built in
1880, can be seen towards the center of the photo on the left
side of Central. Another new building at that time, the IOOF
building (also called Association Hall) is visible just this side
of the church. The IOOF (Independent Order of Odd Fellows)
building was completed by 1905 and it soon became their
meeting place, plus meeting space for the Rebekah Lodge, and
Hudson Grange. Association Hall has a long history of usage
for Hudson; once owned by the town and used as a school
class room, it is now owned by the American Legion.
The house on the right, now 39 Library St., was home to
Helen and Hannah Georgina Gillis, daughters of the late Jennie
(Fulton) and John Gillis. John Gillis purchased the colonial

home on this site from Zachariah Hardy and, just a few years
before this postcard, replaced it with this house which was
modern for that time. John Gillis, and later his estate, owned
much of the land in the area of Central, Gillis and Fulton
Streets. Following the passing of their parents, Georgina and
Helen continued to live here. Helen passed at the age of 78
and Hanna Georgina at the age of 77; both passing on the
same day in 1925 as they became victims in a double murder
which occurred in their home. Their funeral service was
held at the Congregational Church on Central Street with an
atmosphere of simplicity, reverence and sadness.
By 1934, this was home to Michael and Sophie Stanapedos.
Michael passed in the late 1960s and Sophie continued to live
here until the 1980s. In 1983 it was purchased from Sophies
estate by John Sarris and remodeled into an office building
appropriately called Sophies Place.
The house on the left of Central at the corner with Gillis
Street has been a Connell Family home for over 75 years.
Occupied by Frank and Mary Connell, it is now owned by the
family of his son, Philip J. and his wife, Lucille.
This postcard is from my private collection, being mailed to
my great-grandmother in 1907. It will soon be on file at the
Historical Society.

The Word Around Town...

Letters to our Editor

Kudos to Editor-in-Chief
for Excellent Media Exposure to
Aug. 13 Art Show
The members of the Litchfield Historical Society wish
to extend our deep appreciation to Editor-In-Chief,
Len Lathrop, for the extensive pre-event publicity the
Hudson~Litchfield News provided in the weeks leading
up to our Aug. 13 Art Show. Attendance was excellent,
given the daunting heat, and many remarked upon
having seen the articles Publisher Lathrop edited.
This past weeks wrap-up article and accompanying
pictures gave those who were unable to attend a sense of
what had transpired, along with the HLN website review
and accompanying pictures.
Attention to small town events, whatever the venue, is
never overlooked by Len. We are fortunate to have him
as a local publisher, and as a friend to all things Litchfield
and Hudson.
Gail Barringer, Litchfield

Litchfields Ralph Boehm

announces candidacy for NH
Senate District 18.
I am Ralph Boehm running for NH Senate District
18, which consists of Litchfield and Manchester Wards,
5, 6, 7, 8, 9. I am an Air Force Veteran and a retired
Computer Software Engineer. I am a staunch advocate
for our military and veterans. As such I donate my time
to ride with the Patriot Guard which provides escorts for
military returning from duty and escorts for the funerals
of veterans.
I have been a State Representative for 10 years, eight
of which serving on the House Education Committee.
Also, for 22 years I served as a Selectman, Budget
Committee Member, Recreation Commission and
School Board.
I have a strong attendance record and did not
miss one vote the last two terms. I am committed to
representing you in Concord and my record of 10 years
proves that.
I am proud to have a great deal of support in
Manchester and Litchfield, including the endorsements
of Lisa Freeman, school committee member for Ward 5,
and a current candidate for state representative, as well
as the endorsements of current representatives, Frank
Byron - Litchfield, Larry Gagne - Ward 6, Mark McLean
- Ward 8, kathleen Souza Wards 5, 6 and 7, and
Victoria Sullivan Ward 9.
I am a strong fiscal and social conservative. This year
I received an A+ from Americans For Prosperity, an A
from the NH Liberty Alliance, a 100 percent from the
House Republican Alliance and an A from the NRA.
I believe in personal responsibility, parental rights and
local control. We need to take our schools back. My
priorities with education are to free NH of the Smarter
Balanced Assessment and Common Core standards and
to continue to support choice and Charter Schools.
Unfortunately, our current state senator constantly votes
against charter schools, against school choice, against
local control and against parental rights. It is time to put
a true advocate for parents and families into the Senate
seat of District 18.
NH has disproportionately been affected by the
opioid crisis. We need to take care of the addicts with
needed community help. jail is not the answer for
the users, we need a multifaceted approach to dealing
with this epidemic. Including pushing the Federal
government to close our borders; 80 percent of the
heroin comes from Mexico.
We need to grow business in NH; even though we
were able to lower the business taxes slightly, we are still
the highest in NE, and in the top 5 in the U.S. We
need to increase energy sources, thereby reducing energy
costs to businesses and to our citizens. We have a great
university and community college system, but young
people are leaving the state after graduation because of
jobs. We need to fix our business climate so that the
next generation chooses NH as the place to raise their
families and grow our economy.
Your vote should count, voter fraud exists in NH.
Our Secretary of State has stated we need to fix driveby voting. However, our Attorney General refuses to
investigate the 1,000 or so questionable cases of sameday voting. Your vote should not be wiped out because
of illegal voting. The election laws need to be tightened.
District 18 needs a change, we need someone that
will do what is best for the citizens of District 18,
not someone that is beholden to outside interests for
campaign donations. I am that someone, so please vote
for Ralph Boehm on Sept. 13.
You can find more information about me and my
campaign at rgboehm4nhsenate.com.

much more aware than were being led (like sheep) to
believe, that the current Democratic US Senator and
her husband also were much more aware of Mr. Hassans
involvement on a wider scale than has been divulged.
After all, they are all lawyers that flock together. Will
you Hassan sheeple feel as betrayed as the victims of the
decades of sexual abuse? Thats surely how the victims
of the abuses at Exeter Academy feel, like theyve been
betrayed.
Ive not written this Opinion Offering for any political
purposes, the purpose is for all of us, all voters to be
aware of how easy it is to be led down a path to a cliff; by
those who seek Deference from the press and media for
purely political cover of their transgressions, similar to
the Bill Cosby revelations that were ignored for decades.
Once this sitting Governor becomes a US Senator, she
gains even more power and influence with the other

sitting NH-US Senator; to be a shield, for any potential

continuing covering up of facts, with sealed court records
and so on. Dont even begin to be led down that path to
the edge of that cliff! Dont victimize the victims of the
abuses again, by allowing so much political power to be
amassed by a few very influential people. Do not Defer
to the political figures/names in this just now developing
crimes of sexual abuse by adults over school students.
All Deference in this matter goes to the Students, none
of it goes to the adults who committed the crimes of
sexual abuse or those who were aware of it and never
stopped it.

Thumbs down
HLN has chosen a new direction for printing their
thumbs column, and that will effectively makes this the
last uncensored thumbs comment.
So here is another view, before the newspaper evolves
into another bias Candyland theme park. It seems to be
the American Evolution though, so I want to ask every
reader just one question. Are you always happy with
what you see around you?
It is unfortunate that a lot of people have lost the
ability to communicate, whether its looking at each
other in the eye while talking, or as it is soon to be in
this case, through the press. It is unfortunate that the
living being standing right in front of you, takes an easy
second place to your phone. Thumbs Down to that !
If HLN did not allow their submissions for print to be
incognito, then we all would correct the wording of our
comments ourselves, and would reduce the Thumbtacks.
It is unfortunate that HLN will only further our
divide, since they are convinced that printing only happy
thoughts will be beneficial to a healthy community.

Its Not the Governors Budget,

Its the Legislatures Budget

Whos Fighting
for These Victims?
Theres rarely anything that gets me
enraged. I dont really care about most of the
stuff that happens today. Its over-discussed
and over-analyzed by people who dont have
lives. However, this topic does not get talked
about enough, and it is one of the very few
things that I genuinely get really upset about.
Im a huge fan of documentaries. I find
them fascinating and informative. About a
year ago I watched a documentary called
The Invisible War. I highly recommend
watching it. It came
out in 2013 and it won
numerous awards,
including a 2014 Emmy
for Best Documentary,
a 2013 Emmy award
for Outstanding
Investigative Journalism
- Long Form, as well as
a few others.
Watching this
documentary literally
made me sick to my stomach. It was about
women who got raped while serving our
country. Ive never heard of this problem
before. Its not that I didnt believe that it
existed, it just wasnt a thought that had ever
crossed my mind. I had never seen any news
stories about it, which is weird, because even
a year ago I thought that I was pretty wellinformed. After some research I realized that
I wasnt as informed as I thought. It turns out
that there are a lot of major issues that are
just not discussed in the media; so, I feel as
though its part of my job to draw attention to
these types of issues.
A good number of sexual assault victims
in the military are male, not just female.
Many sexual assault cases go unreported.
Its difficult to get proper statistics because
both male and female victims often will not
report the assault. According to defense.gov
the number of sexual assault victims in the
army in the year 2014 was 20,300. In 2013
about 62 percent of women reported the
sexual assault. Social retaliation accounted
for the largest form of perceived retribution,
but 32 percent said they faced professional
retaliation and 35 percent experienced an
adverse administrative event after reporting
an incident, according to defense.gov.
Any percent of professional retaliation is
unacceptable, and 32% is way too high
when reporting a sexual assault case.
The worst part was if the woman who
was raped by a fellow soldier reported it
and had the rape kit done, that evidence
would suddenly become lost. The male
soldier would get away with rape. Thats
disgusting and thats a shame. These men
and women are serving our country, and to
treat them that way is one of Americas dirty
little secrets. I do support our troops, and I
am thankful for all the good that they have
done, but just because one wears a soldiers
uniform should not excuse them from raping
a fellow soldier.
Many times if a woman tries to pursue
a case against a fellow officer, especially
a superior, she could be the one facing
repercussions. Seriously? Thats terrible.
Not only is the woman the one who got
raped, but if she goes forward with the claim,
its a very real possibility that she is the one
who will get in trouble, not the man. Im
sorry, but I thought this was America, not
the Middle East? Why should these women,
fighting for our freedom, be subjected to
sexual harassment and sexual assault, and
then subjected to more pain when they try
to charge their attacker? Its just a really big

Recently we have all seen several advertisements

touting how our Governor balanced the budget.
Folks, the Governor proposes a budget that is all. The
Governor does nothing more than suggest what should
be in the budget. For the last too many years the
Governors proposed budgets have only been spend,
tax, spend, tax and spend some more. This approach
has seriously harmed New Hampshire economically and
helps drive up the cost of living in our state.
The state budget is crafted and passed by the
legislature. It begins in the House and is modified in
the Senate and then both vote on a balanced budget.
It is not the Governors budget, it is the legislatures
budget. This past year a solid balanced budget was
passed by a Republican Party-led House and Senate.
That sound budget was vetoed by our Governor causing
direct harm to the effort to combat the opioid situation;
provide funding for law enforcement and educational
services; provide funding to treatment programs and in
many more areas. The veto was easily overridden by a
responsible Republican-led legislature so that urgently
needed state services could continue. Yet the press and
campaign advertisements continue to state the Governor
balanced the budget.
Under the New Hampshire Constitution the only
budget that can be passed is a balanced budget. To
claim the Governor balanced the budget is at best
an uninformed falsehood. Hard work was taken by
the House to craft a budget beginning with a careful
analysis of what revenues would be available based upon
projected revenue (a polite term for the taxes and fees we
pay). That work was done by Ways and Means in long
and sometime tiring Committee sessions. I sit on House
Ways and Means. Then the Finance Committee takes
individual bits of the operations of the State and analyzes
what is done and planned to be done with the revenue
expected. The operations are graded and evaluated and
approved as necessary to balance the budget so that
New Hampshire spends only within its means. This
is done separately in the House and Senate to get a
comprehensive picture of our economic situation.
This is a far different approach than that of several
years ago when literally scores of new taxes were
proposed to supposedly generate more and more
revenue, that just did not happen, could not happen.
Indeed, this past budget cycle the Republican-led
legislature reduced business taxes to help keep jobs
in New Hampshire. That is another falsity seen in
advertisements that our Governor is a jobs leader. The
fact is that your Republican-led legislature reduced
taxes, helped
businesses to
expand and
thus generate
more revenue.
It seems that
much of the
leadership
information
generated by the
Governor for a
campaign is less
than accurate.
It is sound

disappointment and another example of the

U.S. being hypocritical. We think that other
countries should have tougher rape laws,
but our laws dont even protect the women
that fight and serve for our country. Sorry
guys, but I believe if you abuse it you lose it,
especially if you abuse it repetitively.
Now that this problem has been brought
to the governments attention, there are some
things being done to help decrease these
numbers, and the numbers have decreased.
Its slow and there are still
too many inexcusable
sexual assault cases,
towards both men and
women. Some progress is
better than none.
However, because this
All About
is an election year I feel
the need to drag Hillary
and Trump into this issue.
If these are the two best
presidential candidates
that the U.S. can come up with, then we
are already screwed. I Googled about what
their stance is, or what their plans are for
sexual assault in the military. What came up
for Trump was an inappropriate tweet about
the subject. What came up for Hillary was
how she tried to silence her husbands sexual
assault claim and freed a child rapist, and
then laughed about it. Im not sure if these
are true, but these are just the first things that
come up. You can try Googling for yourself.
So Trump is a insert creative name here
towards everyone, not just women. I also
dont think he has made any promises about
closing the wage gap or improving the lives
of women. He is just the picture perfect
example of political incorrectness.
Hillary is probably going to win the
presidential election. I dont think shes
going to be arrested for any of the crimes
shes committed. Good for her, I guess. Its
impressive how she can buy and threaten
her way out of anything. However, it blows
my mind that she says she is for women
when she doesnt even say anything about
sexual assault towards women in the army.
Bill Clinton cant keep it in his pants and
Hillary has to waste her valuable time hiding
and silencing her husbands victims. If you
cant stand up or protect women from your
own husband how can you protect an entire
country of women?
Vote for whoever you want, they both
suck. I dont know why everyone wants to
move to Canada, its even colder there than
it is here. Im moving to a tropical island. In
2017 you can find me on the beach being
served sangria by a hot shirtless man.
So Im sure Im going to get e-mails this
week; as always you can e-mail at Nicole@
areanewsgroup.com. I do read all the
e-mails and respond to some. Please keep
the e-mails classy and intellectual because
some of you dont. Offense meant.
Down below I have listed some sources
if any of my readers are interested to learn
more about this. I highly recommend
watching The Invisible War as well.

five years to question what else is in the

contract, or should someone take a closer
look at this? But the biggest question this
week, one that the Fox has been thinking
about, is why do we need a union for our
teachers? Couldnt each principal run their
school like a business, based on merit,
where those who contribute get a larger
raise, and those who dont cut the mustard
dont get a cost of living or a step raise everyone understand the step raise system?
It was interesting to
see the public notice
to hire a new janitor
at the Senior Center
and that the new
Benson Administrator
is hiring that cleaner.
While change is good,
new administration is
good, but why was it
done in selectmens
remarks and not
approached as an
agenda item? Lets not
give anyone time to
review the issues or to be a watch dog for
the public interest.
It was thought-provoking to be speaking
with a senior Hudson police officer about
town organization and administration.
The Fox, looking in from the outside, was
not aware of how many situations with
Hudsons young people are nipped in the
bud because of relationships with our
School Resource Officer, and everything
that happens with our recreation program.
The Fox was told hed be amazed by what
these people know, when things happen.
A nice thought as everyone gets ready for
school to start next week.

The Fox loves football, and for that all
sports, but the time and energy spent on the
hiring issue was eye opening. Resolution
came when the teachers union president
signed a memorandum of understanding
during the middle of the week that maybe
put the hiring of football coaches at Alvirne
on the fieldbut should it have? The Fox
has questions: 1) Why is the number of
coaches, and what they get paid, part of the
Hudson teacher contract? 2) This teachers
contract passed last
March and starts
with the beginning
of the 2016-2017
school year and
lasts for five years,
so the pot of money
to pay coaches is
set for five years
and will remain
the same? 3)
Based on the list
of coaches and
their compensation
amounting to a
certain sum of money, did the school board
vote to allow the Alvirne principal and
Athletic Director to do what they want
as long as they dont exceed that bottom
line? 4) Do the shareholders/taxpayers
get to vote (rhetorical)? 5) How can you
have staff being paid who are not teachers
or members of the union? 6) The school
board member who worked on the teacher
contract did not even know about these
attachments. She said she was not aware
at the last meeting, and she proclaims she
doesnt like the amount of money spent on
sports as compared to the arts. 7) Does this
all mean that, if an activity is not wanted
by the students
and the club is
disbanded, those
funds can be
used for a new
activity?
It seems

With that definition in your brain, let me say, it is
not that your Hudson~Litchfield News wants to control
anything that people want to say, but understand that we
are responsible for your words when we print them, or
maybe we wont be, but the cost of lawsuits is starting
for a small paper and the pockets are just not as deep
as they were almost 35 years ago when the prior owner,
Fidel Bernasconi, started the thumbs up and/or down
column. Yes we are continually being sued or threaten
to be sued for comments that are anonymous; and after
almost 16 years of being the gatekeeper of thumbs, there
are things you dont see: the same person every week
calling in seven to 10 thumbs about the same thing or
a restaurant owner threatening to meet me in the office
parking lot to show me that I am a punk; a Litchfield
public service administrator whose lawyer put us on
notice that if his clients name or a reference to his client
is made, that we will be in court. Yes we have a case
pending in Hillsborough Superior Court from a school
board member in Windham; the paper has expended
$5K already to get ready for this case. Do you want to
know about the families who are having a nasty divorce
and that all men are scum?

September,
defeats the
purpose. I
thought
you were a
fair minded
publication. I no longer think so based upon this move
and youre all about me section from Nicole. Youre
just another liberal rag that wants to suppress the
opposing view with the power of your podium. Well
done ... We are well on our way to a communist society.
And you are just helping it along under the guise of
being positive. Hypocrites!
Your second posting is about the same, but Ill let
people read: Only printing thumbs up comments in
your thumbs up thumbs down section defeats the
purpose. We need opposing views. I thought you
were a fair publication, but no longer think that with
this along with your bratty all about me section. You
are just another liberal rag spreading your hypocritical
propaganda. You are contributing to the rot of our
culture.
While I respect your name being on your Facebook
post, your letter to the editor will always be printed - lets
see how the 60 day trial goes - so far there have been
four positive comments and two negative ones, and a
visitor to the office where we had a great discussion,
but he knows I am wrong and a salute to Mr. Potter who
put his name on his comment, which is in this weeks
letters.
Disagree with what I do as the publisher and we can
discuss it, but right now the buck stops with me. Now if
you want to be the publisher for a day (that really cant
happen), but if you want to be
the publisher forever I have
a piece of paper on my desk

Family Fun at First Baptist Church

by Tom Tollefson
Heavy clouds hung over First Baptist
Church in Hudson last Saturday morning
and afternoon, but not a drop came down
to disrupt the churchs first annual Family
Fun Day.
Its more comfortable. Its not burning,
parishioner Roy Benger said about the
overcast weather allowing for a cooler day
than the most recent blistering summer
heat.
The day was filled with food, a bounce
house, and a water slide in the church
parking lot, along with childrens games
in the church basement, and church
deaconess Kathy Benger, dressed as a
clown, who made balloon animals for the
children.
We will try to make it an annual event
because we just want to get the community
together to have fun. We are here to let the
community know that our church is always
open, said Reverend Moa Imchen pastor
of First Baptist Church.
Additional community events run by the
church include Trunk of Treat in October,
turkey baskets for those in need around the
holidays, work with Church World United
and the White Cross to make school bags
for children, and movie nights for teens
during the school year.

Landra Mahoney of Hudson recently competed

at the Massachusetts Dancesport Ballroom Dance
Challenge. It was a successful first competition
for Landra who was able to take home one first
and one second prize for a Waltz during the event
held at the Melrose Memorial Hall, Melrose,
Mass., on Aug. 20.

Rosie

by Sandy Russo
The Litchfield Presbyterian Community Church
had an outdoor Celebration and Blessing of the
Animals on Sunday, Aug. 21, at 10 a.m.
Under a soft breeze and the sun shining, Pastor
Lori Wiley led the hymns and prayers and then
blessed the dogs and cats with holy water while
speaking softly to them. The blessing prayer was
by Dr. Albert Schweitzer.
The dogs that were blessed were Angel, Peanut,

Rosie, Tucker and Wilbur. Wilbur, I understand,

attends all the meetings of the Litchfield Historical
Society. The cats in attendance were Diva and
Pipsqueak. If you are looking for a pet dog or cat,
Rosie and Diva are available for adoption through
the Nashua Humane Society.
At the end of the blessings it was time for
conversation and snacks. The snacks given out
were - you guessed it - Animal Crackers.

Selectmen - continued from page 2

and program changes could be three to five years
away. He explained that the New Hampshire
Department of Education would pay for 70 percent
of the renovation cost. He continued, it is Hudsons
turn in the rotation of building aid for vocational
school; there is one town in front of us, but our turn
is coming. He stressed that he doesnt want people
to panic as we dont have numbers or plans yet.
Langlais explains, however, that when our spot
on the list comes up, we need to be ready and the
voters will need to pass the warrant, because if you
are not ready you could be bumped from the state
list. Ben Nadeau spoke about the history of when
the current center was built, stating that Webb
Palmer had everything ready and Hudson jumped
ahead of another town, which was not ready, when
their slot became available.
Selectman Roger Coutu explained that he
watches most school board meetings on HCTV. He
doesnt know what CTE is, there is no explanation
of CTE, and he believes the general public doesnt
know what it is either. Lavoie explained that it
is Career and Technological Education, a handson program to get students into the trades. Lee
explained, relative to funding, that the 30 percent
would have to be a bond, which would take a
60-percent approval rate by the voters.
Meagan Pollard explained how well Hudson
does with this type of education, maybe to become
a welder for an example, but not just become a
tradesman, but be ready to run a welding business.
Developing 21st century skills for those students
who might or might not go to college.
Coutu stated he did not want to dwell on school
stuff, but would this [the CTE center] be on the
2018 ballot. He understood nothing was cast in
stone, but wanted to know in the first year will
the students be offered exploratory? so they can
choose what interests them. Dr Schlichter stepped
in to explain theyre still at ground oor, looking at
skill sets that student will need for the 21st century;
they have to reach out to local businesses to see
what the skill sets for the next century will be.
Coutu stated that they [selectmen] have put
things on the back burner so that other projects
could pass, but he learned from Shane [Coughlin],
the student representative on the school board,
how to get things passed in Hudson. He stated
that Shane had consulted him on many occasions
on getting the new track project to be approved by
the vote. He worked with him and worked with
Lee Lavoie. He fell in love with the kid and he got
the job done. Roger asked about other needs, a
new football field, the CTE and an art center, do
you see other projects in a five-year plan? Langlais
answered that the gym is another large ticket piece
that needs to be addressed. Lavoie mentioned
the gym could be a bonded issue also. Langlais
outlined why it needed to be done, but did not see
it on the March ballot this year.
Langlais mentioned that the talk in Hudson
is that we are great with band-aids, but not with
completely fixing things the way they should be;
something that she believes the boards need to

Obituaries

change.
Langlais asked about the town side; she offered
that she didnt know water, sewer and current state
of the police station. She thought that the students
should help on the town side; they live here and
early involvement could keep them here as Hudson
residents when they are adults.
Coutu mentioned that it pained him to say, on
the town side, that we are going to the voters again
for a Lowell Road Fire Station to replace the Burn
Hill Station. It is a public safety issue and Coutu
explained why the new station is important and
why it is a great plan. He feels it is a matter of
educating the voters. Fire stations are on Main
Street in every town and in Hudson that is Lowell
Road.
Coutu asked about a yer through the school
system, as at last weeks selectmens meeting, they
saw the Boy Scouts looking for help to get a yer
into the school. Lavoie explained the decision was
made to end a lawsuit.
Milbouer talked about cross-promoting using
social media . She felt the town needs a Facebook
site, which Coutu stated the town has. She wants
to cross selectmen and school board sites and use
Survey Monkey - she thinks that e-mails are more
important than a take-home yer.
Coutu mentioned that is a piece of the puzzle
that the town can do better than they have.
Milbouer mentioned that the school board has
a great reach to the parents and their e-mail
addresses.
Another topic Coutu mentioned that sewer and
water issued and talked about the warrant questions
are asked to both utility users and non users, while
the change or service while only the service users
pay the tab . The issue about the space problems
at the police station was mentioned; demands
on police and fire are growing as the community
grows. That conversation led to the need for a new
municipal complex and why it is needed.
Coutu would like the town and school boards
to join together for a unified IT staffing and a
centralized purchasing agent for both boards.
Can we have a student government day?
Students will replace the town government for a
day, including a selectmen meeting suggested.
Milbouer wanted to know if the Board of Selectmen
could have a student on their board?
While Langlais drew the meeting to a close,
everyone thanked each other for being there and
hoped many of the things discussed could be put
into practice. The next meeting might not happen
until after budget season.
A postscript that must be noted: while everyone
worked together on camera, there was quite the
conversation afterwards in the parking lot with
some hurt feelings from members of both boards.
As tough of a job it is for those volunteers to put
their hearts and souls into their involvement with
these boards and then to be rebutted by their own
members, it must be upsetting.
HCTV has edited the tape of the meeting and has
it playing on channel 21 and 22.

Li Ying and I will be hosting two foreign students for the school
year. The boys will be arriving this week and there will be lots
to do to get them settled in and set up with school. That is why
we have decided not to have Dinners this weekend (Aug. 26 &
27), With so much to do, we feel we will not be giving 100% to
the dinner menu for lack of time. Dinners will resume again
early September.
We will still have our Breakfast and Lunch as usual
so come on by and see us.
Thank you for your understanding.

Build Financial Smarts in Your Teen

with These 5 Tips
(BPT) - For most teens, high school is an exciting
time for those sweet, first tastes of independence: first
dates, first cars, first paychecks.
As low-stakes as some of these milestones may
seem, theres one area that deserves some extra
attention in every family: personal finance. Todays
teens are spending $260 billion a year in the U.S.,
yet only 17 states require completion of at least one
financial literacy course for high school graduation.
Consider the fact that 3.3 million high school students
are expected to graduate in 2017, and what we have
is too many young adults heading out into the real
world lacking even a basic understanding of money
management.
That means todays young people are spending
and borrowing more than ever without understanding
the consequences, says Wendy Kha, a San Francisco
teen who was selected by Boys & Girls Clubs of
America to serve as national ambassador for its teen
financial literacy program called Money Matters:
Make it Count, created in collaboration with Charles
Schwab Foundation.
Taking part in this program had a profound impact
on Kha, along with over 725,000 other Club teens
who have completed Money Matters. As an advocate
for teaching financial responsibility, she offers a few
tips for parents and teens.

difference later. Good credit is essential to getting a good rate on a car loan or
leasing an apartment later on. That credit score is an indication to future lenders that you are responsible and will pay on time. To build good credit, always
pay your bills on time and carefully manage your checking account. If you
choose to get a credit card, never charge more than you can afford to repay in
full each month.

Save early, save often

As soon as you start earning money or receiving an allowance, you should
open a savings account. Parents and teens can decide together how much of
the earnings should be set aside for savings.
Whenever you earn or receive money, put at least 10 percent of it into a
savings account, Kha says. I personally set aside 25 percent of my income
from my part-time job to help me save up for big-ticket purchases, such as
concert tickets and cool electronics, as well as college tuition.
Needs vs wants
When something fun comes up at the last minute its hard to say no, and
even harder to face the idea of missing out. The best thing teens can do is
prepare for situations that lead to impulse purchases. Start by making a list of
needs and wants. Each month, plan for the things you need, and figure out how
much is left over for the fun stuff. If you know ahead of time that your car insurance is coming due, you will be less likely to spend all your money on concert
tickets.
Keep track of spending
Now that youre aware of how much you need for necessities and whats left
over for the fun stuff, its time to start keeping track of everything you spend. It
doesnt matter if you use cash or a debit card, and it doesnt matter if you keep
track with an app or a small notebook. Just be sure to log every
single purchase. Even small things, including the taco from the food
truck or trail mix from the vending machine, should be entered
into the log. Being mindful of every dollar you spend will help you
understand your spending habits - and help you find ways to reduce
your spending and save even more.
You can avoid impulsive, emotional or irrational decisions if you
recognize them in advance, Kha says.

Get a reality check

Before graduating high school and going out on your own, its important to
sit down and get a solid idea of what it takes to make ends meet while living
the lifestyle you want. Look for a financial education program geared for teens.
A good one will cover budgeting, goal setting and planning for the future.
For example, Kha learned a lot from one component of Money Matters
called the Reality Store, a hands-on experience that helps teens envision the realities of adult life - understanding careers and salaries, managing income and
expenses as well as planning savings and investments. These lessons are also
reinforced in a new interactive feature of the program - a digital game called
$KY. Players navigate financial decisions and are rewarded for managing cash
and credit wisely, adding a fun new way to learn these
important life skills.
Its a lot to digest, Kha says. But I know when I head
off to college, my eyes will be wide open, and that will
help me make better money decisions.

$870 in tuition and fees during the 2015-2016 school year. But
that extraordinarily low tuition is somewhat misleading, as Berea
College provides every admitted student the equivalent of a fouryear, full-tuition scholarship. American college students might
be surprised to learn that the burden of college tuition is perhaps
not as burdensome for students born overseas. For example, the

A+ Ideas for Supporting Classroom Learning
(BPT) - Proud parents across the country are
watching their children head back to the classroom for another exciting school year. The knowledge they gain in class will help set them on a
path to success. However, learning shouldnt stop
when the school bell rings at the end of the day.
Education should be a driving factor of family life, says Michelle Cote, founder of Bricks
4 Kidz, an award-winning summer camp and
after-school program. Parents hold the key to a
childs success by supporting classroom learning
and extending educational efforts to the home
and beyond.
Cote offers simple ideas for parents to help support school lessons and instill a lifelong love of
learning in their children.
Know the teacher: Teachers spend as much
time in a week with your kids as you do. Build
a relationship with them by sending check-in
emails, attending conferences and volunteering. Be proactive about asking where your child
excels and what areas they may need additional
help.
Facilitate homework: Encourage good study
habits by creating a comfortable homework space
with adequate supplies and few distractions. Be
an active partner in your childs homework and
assist when needed. Brainstorm project ideas,
answer questions and quiz kids before tests.
Practice school lessons: With a fun, no-pressure approach, go over
what your children learn in school. Have a conversation each day
about what they learned, liked and loathed. Then go over important
lessons to help your child better understand the material.
Connect lessons to life: One of the best ways to help kids under-

stand classroom lessons is to connect the material to everyday experiences. Practice fractions while cooking. Chat about biology while
gardening. Head to the beach to talk about marine habitats and why
the tide changes.
Choose enriching activities: Select after-school activities that
emphasize cognitive development while building self-esteem in a

fun environment. For example, Bricks 4 Kidz uses

relatable tools like LEGO Bricks to teach science,
technology, engineering and math (STEM) skills.
Learn more at www.bricks4kidz.com.
Positive attitude: Kids will mirror your attitude
toward school, homework and teachers. Stay
positive and model resilience during difficult
times. Show kids how youre working to improve
your own education, whether that be a career
certification or a cooking class.
Read together: Reading together is a great
way to bond and show joy for the written word.
Read the same books your child is assigned in
school so you can foster a good discussion about
characters and storylines. When you both finish
the book, rent the film version and plan a movie
night.
Encourage active learning: Reading, writing
and solving math problems are passive learning
activities. At home, encourage active learning
where your child builds models, creates art projects and can ask questions and give his opinion.
Fuel brain power: There are two ways to
support learning that have nothing to do with
lessons. The first is to make sure kids are always
fueled with a variety of healthy foods. The next
is to ensure they are getting a good nights sleep.
Full, well-rested kids are always ready to learn.
A teacher will shape and support your childs knowledge. Its up to
you to grow their thirst for learning and help them better understand
important topics. These simple tips make it easy for education to
become a strong thread in the fabric of life.

Brain Foods: Eating for Academic Success

(BPT) - What do the foods your children eat
have to do with the grades they bring home? Surprisingly, more than many people think.
Research shows that certain vitamins and nutrients support brain health and development. That
means the snacks, meals and supplements your
child consumes can give them an academic edge,
in the classroom and in life.
Lauren Zimet, director of the Early Insights
Healthy Foundations Program and a mother herself, understands how food can empower the body
and brain. Here are Zimets top picks for brain

effect. Need bread? Look for
organic options so you can feel
confident your child is consuming the nutrients they need and
not the additional chemicals
that are commonly found in
conventional breads and grains.

foods that can help support your childs learning

and development.
Powerful proteins
Protein for breakfast and lunch will not only
curb hunger pangs throughout the school day,
but will also help sustain mental energy and level
moods. Kid-friendly protein ideas include eggs,
organic chicken/turkey/beef, non-GMO nitratefree turkey bacon, and beans. Have leftovers from

is about 60 percent fat? That
means when your kids eat
healthy fats, it can support brain

nuts, seeds and avocado. When
cooking, replace unhealthy
hydrogenated oils with healthier
options such as extra-virgin olive oil or coconut
oil. Eat more meals with cold-water fish like
salmon to get more omega-3 essential fats, which
play an integral role in promoting cellular health
and brain development.

Mighty nuts and seeds

These nutritional powerhouses provide generous amounts of
calories, fats, complex carbohydrates, protein, vitamins, minerals and fiber. Kids can enjoy
making their own healthy seednut snack mixes, then package
in baggies or small containers.
Also, try swapping traditional
peanut butter for other nut butters like almond or cashew for a
healthier take on PB&J.
Super supplements
Omega-3 fish oil supplements are becoming more and
more recognized as part of a
healthy family diet. They are a
convenient source of the omega3s - especially EPA and DHA
- that are so crucial to optimal
brain health and function. Its
important to know where your
fish oil comes from and how
it is purified. Nordic Naturals
specializes in purified, molecularly distilled oils that come in
various formulations, including
a variety of options for children.
Learn more at www.nordicnaturals.com.
Vivacious veggies and fruit
Real, whole foods like fresh
fruits and vegetables support
brain health while calming the
nervous system during times of
stress. Blueberries, raspberries
and strawberries are full of antioxidants and vitamin C, which
research shows helps regulate
cortisol, a hormone responsible for stress. And dont forget
bananas! Not only are they full
of potassium, but they also help
the body produce hormones that
help reduce stress and promote
better sleep.
By paying a little attention to
the foods your child eats, youll
be set for a healthy start to a
brain-smart school year!

Class Action Law Suit Filed

Are we so foolish to think that no one doesnt know what
a concussion is, with all the media information out there and
especially the controversies currently coming out of pro football?
The Mayo Clinic defines it as A concussion is a traumatic
brain injury that alters the way your brain functions. Effects are
usually temporary but can include headaches and problems with
concentration, memory, balance and coordination. Although
concussions usually are caused by a blow to the head, they can also
occur when the head and upper body are violently shaken. These
injuries can cause a loss of consciousness, but most concussions
do not. Because of this, some people have concussions and dont
realize it.
Concussions are somewhat common, particularly if you play
a contact sport, such as football. But every concussion injures
your brain to some extent. This injury needs time and rest to heal
properly. Most concussive traumatic brain injuries are mild, and
people usually recover fully.
Mayo Clinic is not really close to Hudson but their definition was
first on the web, and this story is about the efforts underway to help
treat the problem here in Hudson and across the state. When you

Thumbs Up?

Thumbs Down?

Comments expressed in this column are the sole views of those callers and do not reflect the views of the Hudson~Litchfield News or its advertisers. Town and school officials encourage
readers to seek out assistance directly to resolve any problems or issues. The Hudson~Litchfield News editorial staff holds the right to refuse any comment deemed inappropriate.

Taking a Strictly Thumbs Up Approach

Effective with the first issue in September, Thumbs Up/Thumbs Down will no longer include negative comments. Instead, the section will become exclusively Thumbs Up. Thumbs Down comments will not
be published. As with everything in this world, a few people can affect everyone. Sadly, some people call in to the paper with very negative thumbs upwards of 10 to 12 times a week.
So, as a trial, our newspapers in September and October will only include the positive comments in an effort to boost the morale of our readers, rather than printing words that are meant to tear others down. If
you have a true concern, submit a Letter to the Editor with your name attached. Since 2000, as the publisher, I have accepted negative thumbs as a forum for disenfranchised people, but many contributors have
worn me down with their constant and mean-spirited commentary. Now we will take a positive approach and emphasize the good that is all around us but often goes unnoticed. Take a moment to submit your
own kind words and make someone elses day a little brighter.

Thumbs up, a monster thumbs up, for the Aug.

19 edition. That was the most memorable for me,
Jerry G. Donald Moskowitz and I finally agreed
on something and I got a thumbs up from a likeminded soul. Those two offerings (of some wisdom)
were as enjoyable as an atta-boy from the HLN/
ANG-EIC.

are a lot of amazing people doing amazing things.

Thumbs up to everyone who gives their time to
help make Hudson a better place such as all the
volunteers at the Hudson Food Pantry, as well as the
wonderful crew who works year round to put on
Hudson Old Home Days. Thank you!

are not from New Hampshire, stay home and dont

call from California. New Hampshire does not
do with the lies and propaganda from out-of-state
Democrats!
Thumbs down to the Hudson water company for
restricting outdoor water usage to every other day
on private homes but allowing businesses, condos
and apartments 24/7 access. Abbott Farms and
other condos water their lawns twice daily. And
whats up with the condos and businesses watering
while its raining?
Thumbs up/Thumbs down. For those up there
in Hudson that are pro-Hillary I want you to know
who her owner really is. His name is George
Soros. He manipulates currency abroad. He owns
her outright, as was shown in her emails. She did
him a favor with Albania and she was rewarded
with a nice big check. Soros sold out his own
Jewish people in Hungary to the Nazis for money.
Its on your website if you look for it. He owns
the Democratic outright. Its a funny thing: the
Democrats love to jump all over the Koch brothers,
who created 80,000 jobs, but they dont say a word
about George Soros. Isnt that strange?
Thumbs down. Politicians calling veterans to
march in parades for them. The Vietnam War was
a war where many died, so Lyndon Johnson and
[Robert] McNamara could have something to do.
They were not drafted and they had a safe, fine
time at home. I was not drafted because I had a
draft deferral, so I joined the United States Marine
Corp. Kelly Ayotte and Maggie Hassan both called
me to march in a parade for them. The only time a
politician calls a vet is to further their own good. I
will not walk across the street for a politician but
know this: I will fight like hell for our country.
What they did was insulting.
Thumbs down. Trump speaks like a cult leader,
not a politician. He even calls it a movement. His
followers are drinking the kool-aid. If America
forgives and forgets anyone, it will be Hillary.
Thumbs down to people who deny climate
change in the form of global warming, but have no
problem accepting it in the form of a hole in the
ozone layer. Fun Fact: Both are a direct result of
humanity putting too much of a particular gas into
the atmosphere. Do you cherry pick your science
as well?
Thumbs up to HLN and the new ruling on only
Thumbs Up opinions. This will save me tons of
time because I only read the Thumbs Down pieces.
Nothing else. Now, I can simply take your paper
directly from the mailbox to the trash. So a hearty
thumbs up to you for saving me from even opening
it up.

Ayotte Praises Award

of CDC Grant

grant, said Senator Ayotte.

This CDC grant will improve
our monitoring of overdoses
and deaths from heroin and
other opioids, which will help
inform how we should respond
to this ongoing crisis.
In January 2016, Ayotte sent
a letter to Secretary of Health
and Human Services Sylvia
M. Burwell encouraging her
to swiftly release the opioid
abuse funding that was
allocated in the Consolidated
Appropriations Act of 2016
(Public Law 114-113).
In part due to her advocacy,
the end of year spending
legislation included a 284
percent increase in funding
for programs at the CDC and
Substance Abuse and Mental
Health Services Administration
to fight the heroin and
prescription opioid abuse
crisis.

Hudson Art Show

Staff photos by Kaylee Murphy

Its 2016; Shakespeares- continued from front page

by Kaylee Murphy
Local artist Jason DeBow had an art exhibit at the Rodgers Memorial Library last Tuesday, Aug. 16.
Many people came to support the Hudson native and current resident artist. He had about 40 different
pieces on display at the library. DeBow creates watercolor-based paintings. He fell in love with colors
so about five years ago he decided to pursue his dreams about becoming an artist. He soon became
very serious in his art and started painting a little bit every day. DeBow paints a variety of things such as
nature, portraits, animals, and more.
DeBow is an Alvirne graduate and the only art classes he took were when he was a student at Alvirne.
DeBow said that he and his friend would goof off all week in art class and yet somehow would turn in a
great project; the teachers would be upset because they were forced to give him an A. DeBow has lived
in a few places such as Arizona and California but has found himself back in Hudson.
The band Cow Hampshire Folk played music during the art show. The band is from Manchester and
plays throughout southern New Hampshire. You can find them on Facebook and look them up on
YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/user/CowHampshireFolk.
If you are interested in purchasing one of DeBows works or having him do a portrait you can find him
on Facebook.

it had almost everything you can think of, well
beyond the big hair and the catchy tunes of the
80s. Watching young thespians perform songs
and have lines that marked the era before they
were even born was entertaining, still they never
took you so far away from the theme of As You
Like It that you forgot the Shakespeare libretto.
As You Like Its Orlando, played by Tyler
Gagnon, fights with his older brother, Oliver,
portrayed by Bradley Garcia, over their fathers
inheritance. After Oliver tries to have professional
wrestler Charles, Joe Lavoie in the real world, kill
Orlando, Orlando turns the tables and defeats his
sibling but has to leave the kingdom. With more
family issues Duke Frederick, played by Madalyn
Persons-Cutting, sees her daughter Celia (Isabel
Beakey) about to be banished, she disguises
herself as a man as she leaves her cousin Rosalind
who becomes Ganymede, played by Cassie
Shelley.
Their travels and the people they met and fell
in love with showcased all 15 student actors and
their talents. Even the famous 1980s whipped
cream zit skit was there (Remember John Belushi
in Animal House?).
Director Denis called the production a team
effort and thanked everyone involved for making
it absolutely fabulouslike, totally fabulous!
Other actors were Hayli Ruiter as Adam; Alyson
Zaker as Le Beau; Casey Wiliamson a Touchstone;
Georgie Gentile as Audrey; Curtis Klemme as
Jacques; Dena Hoffman as Lord Martext; Corinne
Prestia as Phebe; Jessica Taylor as Jaques de Boys;
and Dahlia Thibeault as Dennis. Some of the
actors even did double duty as crew members.
Crew members were as follows: Jennifer
LaFrance as tech director; Corinne Prestia as
choreographer; Marianne Hedges with costume

Hudson - Litchfield News | August 26, 2016 - 15

A Time of Change
by Lynne Ober
When former Hudson School
Superintendent Bryan Lane gave his
resignation, the Hudson School Board
was already searching for a new Assistant
Superintendent as Dr. Phyllis Schlichter had
previously resigned.
Phyllis Schlichter and her husband, Bo
Schlichter, former Litchfield principal, are
one of New Hampshires education power
couples. Both love students and working
with students, but both were seeking other
opportunities. Bo has been retired for five
years and Phyllis credits him with making
working easier for her. If something needs
to be done in the house, Bo can take care
of it. She talked about the many ways that
having him at home allowed her to pursue a
more complex and time-consuming career in
education.
Im certified as a Reading Specialist, a
Speech Pathologist, an Audiologist, as well
as an administrator and superintendent,
she explained. When asked what her plans
were when she resigned, she admitted that
she didnt have specific plans other than the
desire to be able to spend the summers with
her two young granddaughters, who live in
North Carolina. It was impossible to take the
summer off with the Assistant Superintendent
position and even more so now that Im the
Interim Superintendent. I think I will work,
but in a position that gives me summers off.
When Lane resigned Phyllis Schlichter
agreed to stay for a year as Interim
Superintendent. She noted this was a
relatively easy transition as she already
knew staff and parents in the district. I
had established relationships and although
I currently have a different level of
responsibility, I knew what needed to be
done. Schlichter said the good thing about
the district is working with so many talented
staff. If I dont know something, I can easily
find someone who does know the answer,
she smiled.
Although most things are set for the
beginning of the school year, Schlichter
said they were still getting a number of late
student registrations. Approximately 230
first graders and 150 kindergarten students
have registered, with more parents coming in
each day. Overall Hudson pupil enrollment
continues to go down.
When asked why school district staff was
not reduced with the smaller number of
pupils, Schlichter said that more opportunities
were being offered to students and cited
Project Lead which begins pre-engineering for
middle school students. This makes it easier
for them to transfer into some of our high
school programs.
But thats not the only reason cited.
Schlichter said that many students are not
as well equipped to enter school as they
were five years ago. One of the missing
pieces is parents sitting and reading with
children prior to the start of kindergarten.
That, coupled with more expectations for

kindergarten students, has meant that some

students are basically behind when they start
kindergarten. With so many children going to
day-care, Schlichter was asked if the district
had reached out to the day-care programs that
feed the Hudson School District. I reached
out a year ago and talked with them. This
year we see better prepared students, she
stated. Of course, we cant tell them how to
run their businesses, but the communication
about needs in kindergarten seems to have
helped.
Weve also started working on
individualized reading programs for all
students. Schlichter said this allowed them
to modify reading programs for elementary
students and not just for Special Education
students with an IEP. We can provide
more advanced books for students who are
strong readers or choose easier books where
students need to practice reading in order to
bring their skillset up. Schlichter said the
school district has gone away from the stand
and deliver type of education. We want
every student to gain an understanding and
mastery of the curriculum.
Schlichter also said that parental
engagement with the school as well as
parental engagement with children at home
will remain a critical aspect.
Karen Burnell has been handling bus
transportation and has been working with
parents on individual issues. I think she
has worked through all the issues we know
about.
Schlichter just finished leading the
administrators retreat, which is held every
summer prior to the opening of school.
Once we get school started, all of us will
jump into the budget season. However, that
will include negotiating with two different
unions. She will find that fall will be every bit
as busy as summer has been.
When asked if she would apply to be
Hudson superintendent, she laughed and
repeated her desire to spend summers with
her granddaughters. The years pass all too
quickly. I do love to work, but I really want
summers off.
According to Schlichter the Hudson School
District is very ready to handle the inux of
students. New teacher orientation for 31 new
teachers has been held; few positions are
open and classrooms sit waiting for students.
Schlichter anticipates that Hudson will
still have 19 percent of its student population
on the Free and Reduced Lunch program
this coming year. Our district has a lower
percentage than many others, she stated.
For the remaining time that Schlichter
is Interim Superintendent, she intends to
extend the collaborative and cooperative
environment that has been the hallmark of
her time leading the district. I really love
working. I love the students and Ive loved
my time in Hudson.
The district will miss her when the year is
over.

Hudson-Litchfield Bears 9U Football Starts Season

With Dominant Victory Over Keene

Hudson~LitchfieldSports
Logan Maceachern, Jonathan Cruz-McGuire,
Patrick Deely, Damian Derkrikorian, Zach Poulin,
Aidan Mulligan, Cameron Murray, and Cameron
Bourbeau also made solid contributions along the
offensive line, while Anthony Magliano, Lucas
Lavarnway, Carsen Mills, and Sean Cryan were
defensive stalwarts.
Devin Scott (broken arm) and Brady Nickerson
(pneumonia) cheered on from the bench, and their
returns to the field are imminent.

The team was excited to give head coach Keith

Deely his first win. Deely said, I am extremely
proud of how all of the players competed. The
hard work and long practices from both the
coaches and the players paid off in a big way
against Keene. It wasnt a perfect game but we
will continue to put in the effort and get better
each week.
The team now has its home opener against
Plymouth on Sunday morning at 9 a.m. behind
Hudson Memorial School.

Running back Camren Dillon (#28) is o to the races on the way to one of his four TDs,
while Anthony Magliano (#13) and Scott Hershberger (#5) lead the way.

were made possible by the offensive line of Ryan

Rocheleau, Zach Carter, Shayne Mackey, Loghan
Marchand, Andrew Dice Deely, Dante Trombley
and Julian Goode.
The defensive line completely shut down the
Keene offense, and was led by Nick Hershberger,
Deely, Mackey, Goode, and Gavin Huntoon.
Jason Clement had two TD-saving tackles as
safety early in the game, and Scott Hershberger,
Mikey McGowan, Dante Trombley, and Loghan
Marchand played solid linebacker.

The 9U Bears celebrate after a great victory to start the season.

The 43rd annual H.P. Hood Oxford 250 is
considered by many to be one of the biggest
short track racing events in the United States and

Griffith, who

with the series
by capturing
the 150-lap event at Lee USA Speedway sees the
2016 attempt in a much different light than last
year, he explains; In 2015 we really didnt have
much experience at Oxford Plains Speedway, its
a tricky three-eighth mile oval that really only laps
and seat-time can help.
We ultimately didnt make the race, but this
year, we had a solid top-10 in the PASS race and
we traveled up for a couple weekly 50-lap events.
We were able to get a baseline of notes that we

think will translate into helping us this coming

weekend. A lot depends on the draw but I know
that Louie [Crew Chief Louie Mechalides] will
give me a good car, its my job to go out there and
perform.
A win can define your racing career; many of
my childhood heroes have won the Oxford 250,
people like Polewarczyk, the Rowes and racers
like last years winner Glen Luce have proved that
winning this race is as special as it gets in short

The Hudson-Litchfield Bears 9U football picked
up where they left off last year with a 34-6 victory
by mercy rule over the Keene Knights in Keene
on Sunday morning.
Running back Camren Flash Dillon found
the end zone four times, scoring on both sweeps
and off-tackle runs. Shawn Boogie Boudreau
scored on a power sweep to the right side, while
Charlie Chaz Crawford had another long TD run
on a QB sneak in the fourth quarter. The big runs
