It Started 100 Years Ago

by Len Lathrop
Three rounds were fired by the American Legion Post 48 Honor Guard
from the Veterans Bridge at 8 a.m. Tuesday; this was followed by Taps,
in honor of all veterans. Shortly after, the honor guard moved to Legion
Hall on Central Street with another volley and Taps, once again, to
honor those who served.
When did this day of honor start? On the morning of November 11,
1918, the Signal Corps confirmed a dispatch along the western front
-- the shooting was to stop at 11 a.m. in accordance with agreement
reached between Germany and the Allied Powers. World War I was over.
It is very odd to think that men continued to fight and die up
until that 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, but
they did.
A year later, in 1919, that day was celebrated
as a holiday - Armistice Day. After World War II
the name was changed to Veterans Day. As we
mark the 100th anniversary of the Great Wars
beginning in 1914, how did you honor those
who served?
It was nice that several cars on the bridge
blew their horns, but none stopped. There was
no one in attendance from the community, and

Students, staff, and faculty filled the Litchfield
Middle School gymnasium to celebrate and give
honor to the nations veterans during their annual
Veterans Day event.
Once the Pledge of Allegiance, national anthem,
and introductions were made, student essay
winners, Jessica Grant and Olivia Carson, offered
their respects to our veterans in their winning
essay responses to Why do we honor veterans.
Jessica Grant writes that this holiday was
meant to acknowledge and honor all the men and
women who have served in our armed forces. This
includes members of the U.S. Army, Navy, Marine
Corps, Air Force, and the Coast Guard. Veterans
are honored for the sacrifices they have made to
serve our county.
She continued by stating, Veterans are the
bravest people in our nations and they are
honored for helping our country have so many
rights and freedoms. All veterans, especially the
people that do not remain with us today, have
paid the ultimate price for freedom in America.
This is why we own them a tremendous debt of
gratitude.
Classmate Olivia Carlson took to the podium
emphasizing the importance of what veterans
do for us every single day. Veterans dont get

Fuller Oil, Hudson, filed for bankruptcy on
Monday, Nov. 10. They filed for bankruptcy
under Chapter 11 bankruptcy laws.
Chapter 11 allows for companies to reorganize
while holding off creditors and potential law
suits. According to documents filed, Fuller Oil
has up to 30,000 customers in New Hampshire.
The company has pledged to continue to
service those customers who have pre-paid for
their fuel. As reported by the The (Nashua)
Telegraph, We are not going anywhere. We are
in business, we are servicing accounts. We are
operating business as usually and are hopeful to
be re-emerging sometime in 2015, said Jeffrey
Varsalone, managing director of CBIZ MHM, a
corporate-recovery firm.
Fuller Oil claims that their financial
problems are due to fuel delivery issues, as
well as a lawsuit stemming from one of their
supplies in excess of $4 million. Fuller Oil has
approximately 1,500 creditors that are looking

for payment. Sprague Energy, Fuller Oils largest

supplier, has filed a $4.7 million lawsuit against
Fuller Oil as well.
In addition to allowing Fuller Oil to hold off
creditors, the federal lawsuit against Fuller Oils
president for sexual harassment, which was to
begin Nov. 12, has been put on hold.
As reported in The Telegraph, In 2012, Fuller
pleaded no contest to a charge of simple assault
stemming from Wilkins complaints. According
to the suit, Mulcahey was fired from the Hudson
office when she intended to file a complaint.
Its the second time the EEOC has sued Fred
Fuller Oil in regard to sexual harassment. This
first complaint was settled for $780,000 in favor
of the employees in 2005.
According to state law, heating oil companies
are not required by law to keep enough money
in escrow to repay their customers.
Bankruptcy paperwork discloses that Fuller Oil
owes taxes to the towns of Hudson and Milford,

Halloween Candy
Donated to Troops

submitted by Ruth Parker

In the spring of 1947 the Hudson Post Office was the center of a
controversy. A plan to consolidate Hudson service into the Nashua
office was being considered by the Postal Department. Town officials
and approximately 1,000 Hudson residents submitted a 30-foot-long
petition expressing the need for and confidence in the existing Hudson
Post Office. The decision was made to not only retain but to enlarge the
office. The Morey Building on Ferry Street, just above the intersection
with Webster Street, was remodeled under the supervision of owner

Ernest Morey. The result was this two-story, brick veneer building.
The new post office occupied half of the first floor; the remainder was
rented out to Trombleys Shoe Repair. The second floor provided a
small number of apartments. This was the location of our post office
from 1948 until 1959 when town growth required the move to 15 Derry
Street. Those serving as postmaster during this time were Paul Richards
and Roger Boucher. This building was demolished during bridge and
road construction in the late 1960s. Photo from the Hudson Historical
Society Collection.

Because of their dedication to helping those in need,
Boy Scouts around the country hold their largest food
drive, Scouting for Food, every November. New
Hampshire Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts annually collect
around 400,000 items of non-perishables that go to more
than 30 agencies in the Nashua area, such as the Nashua
Soup Kitchen and the Manchester Christian Church.
Statewide, more than 150 agencies benefit from the food
collected by the Scouts.
On Saturday, Nov. 8, after previously collecting food
placed on door steps around town, three troops and
packs met at separate locations in Hudson to load all of

One of the thousands of door tags that

were hung on doors around Hudson last
week requesting food donations.

the donations, which were then transferred to Bishop Guertin in Nashua. The
large number of boxes and bags of food collected in these trailers and trucks
represented hours of collecting door to door across town after first placing 3,000
paper door tags requesting the donations. Throughout the day, somewhere
between 1,600 and 2,000 boxes of food were received at the BG pick-up site
and was then transferred to the many area agencies.

other antique kitchen utensils, as well as the portraits of
Litchfields residents from the past. The children were totally

engaged and asked many relevant questions.

Next, the group proceeded downstairs to view the
extensive Civil War exhibit. The antique muskets, guns with
sabers, torch lights used when President Lincoln was on
parade and pictures of Litchfield citizens who had fought
and died in the Civil War were focal points for the children.
Again, many questions were asked, and it was clear that the
children were interested in the history of their town.
Cub Scout Leader Lara West coordinated the event and
several parents also joined the tour. Staff members were
impressed with the students genuine interest in Litchfields
history and their respect for the exhibits. It was pleasure
to host Cub Scout Troop 11. Other groups from any of the
Litchfield schools and any other organization in town are
invited to visit the wonderful collection.

Is a Two-Year College
a Smart Stepping Stone?
Keeping your dreams alive

The Inn at Fairview to Offer

Comprehensive Healthcare Event

Generic Filler for Patroit Seasonal Filler for HLN & PWN

by Doug Robinson
The workshop is simply called, Starting my Bachelors Degree at a 2-Year
College - Demystifying the Process.
As a joint collaboration between Alvirne High School and Nashua Community
College, Susan Smith of Nashua Community College, will answer any and all
questions from both students and parents at the upcoming seminar at Alvirne High
Schools Checkers Restaurant, Thursday, Nov. 20 at 7:30 p.m.
My intention is to demystify the just out of attending community college and
discuss why the consideration is smart for the four-year applicant to attend a twoyear community college as a stepping stone to their four-year degree, said Smith.
I am presenting the workshop with the experience of a mom who sent both of
my daughters to community college to start. One went to Middlesex, and my other
child went to Nashua Community College. They thrived and were involved in
honors programs. They are now both thriving at their four-year colleges. Their start
prepared them well, and now they are both seniors flirting with law and medical
schools.
Smith will address the costs associated with the mind-blowing increase in fouryear tuitions. In addition, Smith will discuss the intricacies of faculty quality,
access and support of that faculty, and how a two-year college can propel the
student to further success.
My goal is to have my audience excited and full of the knowledge and tools to
put the two-year start in their wheelhouse as a smart option as they go thought the
college decision ahead, explained Smith.
In addition, the purpose of the seminar is to provide parents and student a fully
examined discussion as to why the two-year college stepping stone should be
considered as a smart option for just about every four-year college bound student
continues Smith.
This seminar will be presented as an informal, informative and interactive
meeting, and the information discussed will simplify how the two-year college
step works according to Smith.
These types of questions will be addressed:
What are the advantages of starting at a two-year college?;
How much money do I really save?; and
Can the savings help me finance my way to my dream final degree?
In addition, financial aid options, eligibility, and course selection will be
discussed. The college selection process can be as daunting as it is expensive. This
work will demystify the two-year college step and allow the parents and students
attend the workshop to feel as if they understand the mechanics and how-to
working mechanics of the college selection process.
All are welcome. The seminar is sponsored in conjunction with the Alvirne High
School Guidance Department.

The Word Around Town...

Letters to our Editor

Join the Ranks of the VFW

The New Hampshire Veterans of Foreign Wars is
looking for veterans who have served in an overseas
combat area or Korea up and including today. Help
us to continue to help you and all other veterans. The
VFW is the lead organization that lobbies Congress for
veteran benefits. With these days of budget cuts no
benefit is safe. If not for the VFW and other veteran
organization some of these benefits may disappear. In
order for the VFW to main its influence on veteran
benefit issues it needs to maintain its membership.
With the dwindling of the number of veterans it is of
the utmost importance for us to recruit as many of the
current group of veterans and those of prior wars that
have not joined the VFW.
If you want to help maintain the benefits you deserve
and improve upon them in the future you should join
our ranks. The more members we show the stronger
our efforts can be to maintain and improve veteran
benefits. Not only do we fight for benefits we also
help our communities. We reach out to our schools
with the Veteran in the Classroom program, work with
youth groups, hold events at our posts that are open to
the public and many other community projects. Do
you want to be part of this? We need your help and
support.
Consider joining the VFW. Go to your nearest post
of your choice, talk to a post officer and join us. Check
the VFW website at www.vfw.org and see the programs
the VFW has and supports. The VFW also gives you a
place to go to talk with other veterans who understand
what you are going through. We all have been there
and know the problems you have when you come home
from combat. We can help you. The Department of
New Hampshire has an outstanding Service Officer
that can help you file a VA claim or try to increase your
percentage. There is a whole world or support and help
just waiting for you. Come give us a try. We are here
to support you. Join the team and help support all
veterans and your community.

So Many Ways to
Show Support for Veterans

Thanks to the Voters

from Rep Bob Haefner

Wage Hope in Fight Against

Pancreatic Cancer

Id like to share with HLNs readers a true event, an

example of efforts to support Our Veterans, between
an individual, like myself and a Hudson business, like
Prime Subaru; so that others who want to support Our
Veterans, might do so on their own too.
I just bought a pre-owned Subaru Forester from
Prime Subaru and before finalizing the purchase, I had
mentioned to Tom Merrifield, the Sales Consultant,
that it will be an important part of my individual
efforts for Disabled Veterans as part of a self-funded
start-up endeavor known as Waste-Not-Creations
Crafts; that Disabled Veterans will become part of, I
hope, in the new year to help make various designs of
crafts from mostly recycled materials, combined with
new materials. Most of the processes for making the
different products are perfect for Disabled Veterans to
do while seated at a work bench in a workshop or even
at home if theyre not able to go to the workshop. This
endeavor has been created with the goal of turning it
over to Harbor Homes Veterans Services to sponsor and
operate in a few years, when Ive achieved the various
objectives with it.
During those discussions with Tom Merrifield, I
mentioned in passing that if Prime Subaru would want
to and be able to make a donation to Waste-NotCreations Crafts, any donation would be used to buy
new materials, adhesives, paints, etc. Although I was
hopeful for some donation, I didnt think that such an
inquiry would be productive. I was then astonished
with Primes donation, more than I thought possible,
so astonished that I wanted to share this experience
with everyone in Hudson/ Litchfield; so it could maybe
become an example of how a business can support
an individual effort for Disabled Veterans or for all
Veterans, every effort to help that might seem small and
insignificant; is not small and insignificant at all.
With so much support for Our Veterans needed all
around us, efforts to help that are big and small, all
of them make a difference. To publicly Thank Prime
Subaru for their understanding of my goals for Disabled
Veterans, with their instantaneous and generous
support, I hope will inspire HLNs readers to be part
of the many possible individual efforts; that all make a
difference too.

I would like to take the opportunity to thank the

voters of Hudson and Pelham for their confidence in
me as one of your State Reps. I have always taken my
job as one of your Reps seriously. I represent all of our
residents in both Pelham and Hudson, whether or not
you voted for me. Once elected we are not Republicans
or Democrats but your Representatives. Should you
want to make a request, or talk about legislation, call
any of us. My e-mail is bob.haefner@leg.state.nh.us
and my phone is 889-1553. Thanks again for the vote.

November is National Pancreatic Cancer Awareness

Month and I am urging our community to join the
Pancreatic Cancer Action Network to Wage Hope in the
fight against the fourth leading cause of cancer death in
the United States.
Our pancreatic cancer community is made up of
volunteers, advocates, survivors and caregivers; all
trailblazers who are fighting for progress no matter what
it takes. It means we never surrender in our pursuit
to change patient outcomes. It means the five-year
survival rate at just 6 percent must change. We must
Wage Hope in the battle against pancreatic cancer.
Fourteen years ago, I lost my mother to pancreatic
cancer just 6 months after diagnosis so I understand
firsthand the urgent need to Wage Hope for all
those diagnosed with this very difficult disease. On
November 2015 I will join the NH Affiliate of the
Pancreatic Cancer Action Network, at PurpleStride
2015, a 5K walk and run, to honor my mother and
those who have been affected by this disease. November
is designated as Pancreatic Cancer Month. Please help
us in Waging Hope against it.
Please visit www.wagehope.org and join us in our
efforts to Wage Hope in the fight against pancreatic
cancer.

Bob Haefner, Hudson

Encouraging Voter Turnout

in Hudson
I would like to compliment those Hudson voters who
took the time to have their voices heard on Election
Day. We had a 52 percent turnout, the largest in my
memory for a midterm election. For those of you who
had to wait in the long lines, I appreciate your patience.
My sincere thanks go out to all those who worked
so hard to make the day proceed smoothly: from the
Town Clerk and her staff for getting all the Ballots
ready, to the Highway Department Crew and our
Custodian, who set up and took down all the voting
booths tables, and equipment; to the crew at the
Lowell Rd. Dunkin Donuts for having the coffee and
donuts ready at 5:15 AM, to all the Election Workers,
Supervisors of the Checklist, and Selectmen, who put in
a very long day, to the Hudson Community Club, who
tabulated the write-ins and tallied the check-in books,
to the Police Department for handling the traffic rush,
to Cahills Subs and the Hudson Junior Womens Club
for providing our meals, and to the Fire Department for
helping transport all the ballots and equipment back to
Town Hall at 12:30 in the morning. It takes all these
people to make an Election Day run as smoothly as it
did.

Socks for Seniors Project

Socks for Seniors has been an annual community
service which collects new socks for the adult elderly in
local nursing homes. Pat Jewett has placed two boxes
which have been decorated with a sign on each asking
for new adult sox. One box is in the Litchfield Town
Hall lobby and the other in the Aaron Cutler Memorial
Library. Socks will be collected up to Saturday,

residents in who reside in local nursing homes. If you
know of any residents in nursing homes, please call Pat

submitted by Hudson Police Department

On Oct. 24, at about 2:29 a.m.. officers from the Hudson Police
Department responded to the area of Adelaide Street for an alleged
robbery in progress. The incident was reported by a taxi cab
driver who was in the process of driving two male subjects to their
respective residences in Hudson. Upon arrival, it was learned that
the subjects were not attempting to rob the cab driver, but one of the
subjects purported to be a police officer to the taxi driver. The two
men were found in the area of Adelaide Street and were taken into
custody on various charges.
The male subject who purported to be a police officer was

identified as Francis OHearn, 23, of Hudson. It was learned during

the course of this investigation that OHearn had unlawfully detained
the cab driver. OHearn was charged with False Personating (Class
B felony), Criminal Threatening (misdemeanor), False Imprisonment
(misdemeanor) and Simple Assault (misdemeanor).
The second subject was identified as Daniel Carlo, Jr., 22, also
of Hudson. Carlo was charged with Receiving Stolen Property
(misdemeanor).
Both OHearn and Carlo were able to post bail and are scheduled
for arraignment at the Nashua 9th Circuit Court on Nov. 20. The
investigation into this incident is still ongoing.

Reliving the Civil War presented by Bob Duffy, Costumed Civil
War, a Chautauqua or Living Historian, Nashua Historical Society, 5
Abbott Street, Nashua, at 7:30 p.m. During the Civil War, a million
and a half men came together from all over the Union to fight for
the North. Many of these men came from very rural areas and their
exposure to the high tech of the day helped spur post-war economic
growth. Bob Duffy will highlight the culture shock of a boy from a
small New England farm who participates in the greatest adventure
of his life. Bob will appear in the uniform of a Union Staff Captain.
Bob Duffy moved to New Hampshire from Long Island, NY, in 1994
and lived six years in Manchester before moving to Nashua in 1999.
By trade an aircraft instrument technician, Bob has been a Civil War
re-enactor since 1980 and has appeared in several films including
Glory, Gettysburg, and Andersonville.

Time for a Change for Hudsons Fire Stations

by Shannon Lindsay, Rivier University Intern
Over the past month, the Hudson~Litchfield News has been
keeping readers updated on some changes that Hudsons
professional firefighters and officers, in conjunction with the Hudson
Board of Selectmen, are hoping to ask the voters for approval this
coming March at town elections. Three weeks ago, a HLN article
began outlining the details of plans for a new fire station in the town.
This station would replace the Burns Hill Station (currently on 88
Burns Hill Road) and would be located at 204 Lowell Road.
Strong rationale exists for this new station to replace the Burns
Hill Station. First of all, the Burns Hill Station was never meant to
be staffed 24/7, and it is not properly built or equipped to do so, but
it has been staffed full time since 2001. Because of this, a change
needs to take place in this station anyway.
Additionally, the new Lowell Road location would bring the town
closer to meeting National Fire Protection Association laws requiring
that all fire departments be able to reach 90 percent of their towns
within four minutes, from at least one of the stations in the town.
Currently, Hudsons department can reach 58 percent of the town in

this time, and the current 2014 data shows that the response times
reach as high as seven minutes for some parts of the town. If the
station were relocated to Lowell Road, the amount of area that could
be reached with a four-minute response time would increase from
58 percent to 70 percent.
The land on which the station would be built is currently not in
use. Located next to Hardy Road, it is directly across from Fairview
Nursing Home, in between Mission Pointe and Market Basket. This
land is already owned by the town, so allows for a cost saving of
$77,100 (the price that the land is currently valued).
The Town of Hudson will also save money on designing the station
because the Hudson Fire Department has been given building plans
by the Town of Londonderry from a station Londonderry built not too
long ago. These are the plans Hudson intends to use, almost exactly
as they are.
Last week, at the town budget meeting, it was decided that the
final cost for the design and construction of this new station would
be $2.1 million. This cost would be paid through bonds or notes, in
accordance with the provisions of the Municipal Finance Act (RSA,
Chapter 33). The interest rate would be determined if the town votes
yes and authorizes the Board of Selectmen to issue and sell such
bonds and notes. As of now, the rate is estimated at 4.5 percent
These bonds would be paid over a time span of 20 years. The first
year, a $54,600 payment would be due for the bond issuance cost
and interest. This would mean that two cents per every thousand
dollars would be added to the tax rate. For the 19 years following
this, a $105,000 principal would be due each year, plus interest.
This would equal about 8 cents per every thousand dollars added
to the tax rate. The average Hudson home is valued at $256,000,
so this means the average taxpayer would pay approximately an
additional $20.48 annually in tax for those 19 years.
In addition, a proposal has been made for renovations to
the historic Leonard Smith Central Station built in 1952. The
renovations to this station would total $900,000 to be taken from the
towns Unassigned Fund Balance. The funds would come out of the

UFB in Fiscal Year 16 (FY16) that runs from July 1, 2015, to June 30,
2016, and the cost of this project would have no effect on the tax
rate. Meanwhile, selectmen already plan to remove $600,000 from
the UFB to help stabilize the tax rate for FY16, which is something
that has been done every year for at least 10 years now. Currently,
the UFB runs about 6.8 percent of gross appropriations for the town,
but, with this $900,000 and $600,000 removed, the percentage
would drop to 4.5 percent in FY16.
While this may seem like a lot of changes for the Hudson Fire
Department all at once, its important to note that none of the three
stations that Hudson currently has have ever undergone any major
renovations since being built (the newest station, the Burns Hill
Station, was built in 1981). Also, all three stations were originally
built on very low budgets.
In 1952, the historic Lenny Smith Station was built with $60,000
at the time ($54,000 for materials and $6,000 spent on other
necessary equipment for the station). All three Hudson stations
were all built on town-owned land and constructed by the hands
of Hudsons own firefighters, rather than hired laborers. The only
money spent by the town on any of these stations was for building
materials and necessary equipment. The entire kitchen in the
Lenny Smith Station was donated by the Hudson Firefighters Relief
Association, and it remains exactly the same now as it was when
assembled back in the fifties.
The only significant renovation that the Lenny Smith Station has
undergone in these past 62 years was the fairly recent addition of
a heating and A/C unit for $80,000. The other two stations have
never undergone major renovations at all, so it may be time for some
money to be spent upgrading the Hudson Fire Department.
If approved by voters in the March 2015 election, both of these
projects are projected to begin as early as January 2016. Your HLN
will continue to keep readers updated on any new developments.
Stay tuned two weeks from now for some further information about
the renovations being proposed for the Lenny Smith Station.

Hello Friends!
We are super busy and loving it up here at the Senior Center, or as
we affectionately call it, the Barn! I have so many upcoming events
to share with you, and we hope you will join us in these activities.
On November 19 the Lions Club is hosting a discussion and
presentation on The Diabetic Epidemic featuring guest speaker
Marie Hall, RN. Please join us for 1 p.m. on Wednesday; healthy
snacks will be served.
On November 18 CPTE will be at the Barn to offer balance
checks. Balance checks are important so you can be confident when
out in inclement weather
as well as maneuvering
through snowy parking
lots and sidewalks later
this winter. Be sure to
stop by the Barn any time
after 9 a.m.
Bone Builders is finally
coming to the Senior
Center to add to our
list of exercise options!
Classes will be Tuesday and Thursday mornings and the instructor is
still being determined but it looks to be a morning session.
Aerobics is at 9 a.m. on Wednesday, dont forget your weights!
Come work out with us, have a laugh and feel great! Class is $3 per
person, just stop by the window and see Lori with questions.
Are you a country fan? Line Dancing is at 10:30am on
Wednesday, and dont be fooled this group will grapevine you right
out of your boots! For those that are not quite ready to two-step with
the first group we now offer Beginners Line Dancing at 11:45 a.m.
on Wednesdays. Classes are $3 each week.
For those with more interest in a faster paced class be sure to join
us for Zumba Gold on Tuesday afternoons at 1:45 p.m. Interest in
this class is growing and they have a ball working on their dance
moves. Be sure to grab your weights for this class and bring your $4
to the window.
As the winter weather approaches be sure to watch the television
in the morning before heading out. If the Hudson School district is
closed due to inclement weather, snow and ice, the Senior Center

will not be open. Please make sure you trust your judgment and stay
home and safe.
For the grocery list: pick up your favorite canned soup, and also
extra batteries for your flashlight to have on hand in the event of a
power outage and stormy weather. Cat litter is also a good thing to
have on hand for your sidewalk and front steps.
We changed the clocks so it is time to check your smoke
detectors! Make sure your smoke detectors are working, and have
fresh batteries. Do not climb on a step ladder without someone
there to help you. If you need assistance please let Lori know.
We have been enjoying our movies on the first Wednesday of
each month. We had
15 people join us to
watch Noah last week.
We would like to thank
Nashua Crossings for
sponsoring the movie
and bringing in pizza and
pens!
The first Tuesday of the
month we have Affordable
Hearing in to the Barn.
Chris will do a free hearing screening for you and will clean your
hearing aids, regardless of where you purchased them. Stop by and

Utility Shed Sustains Major Damage

submitted by Hudson Police Department
On Nov. 8, at 7:42 p.m., members of the
Hudson Police Department responded to
the Shepherds Hill Condominium Complex
on Shadowbrook Road for a reported onecar accident. Upon the officers arrival they
determined that a 2006 Mercedes E-Class driven
by Carlene Maroun, 47, of Hudson, had driven off
the roadway and into a Fairpoint Communications
utility shed.
There were no passengers in the vehicle, no air
bag deployment and no reported injuries. At this
time it is unknown whether the driver was wearing
a seatbelt.

Subsequently, Maroun was arrested and charged

with DWI, Driving with a Suspended License for
a previous refusal of Implied Consent, and two
counts of Assaulting a Police Officer. The officer
was not injured from the assault.
No bail was set for Maroun, and she was held at
the Hillsborough County House of Correction in
Manchester until her arraignment at the 9th Circuit
Court in Nashua on Nov. 10.
The Fairpoint Communications utility shed
sustained significant damage as a result of the
impact from the car. Fairpoint Communications
advised that this may cause telephone and/or
internet disruption in the area.

Hudson - Litchfield News | November 14, 2014 - 7

by Doug Robinson
The Inn at Fairview, Hudson, recently hosted the
seminar, Hot Topics in Elder Law in an effort to
answer general law issues, long-term healthcare,
estate planning, probate administration,
guardianship, public benefits, veterans pension
programs, and special needs questions for the
disabled.
Attorney and board-certified Elder Law Attorney
David R. Craig of New Boston provided legal
advice to those in attendance about elder law.
Craig is only one of three lawyers certified in elder
law in the State of New Hampshire. Nationwide,
only 450 lawyers are certified in elder law.
The low-key, question-and-answer program
centered on specific questions from those who
attended the presentations. Their questions
focused on veterans affairs, medical care for those
with dementia, revocable and irrevocable trusts,
long-term insurance, along with the handling of
annuities.
We have two types of programs for veterans,
Craig said. One program is for those who
became injured as a service-connected injury.
Whether that is an injury from lifting a box or an
injury received on the field of battle. If the injury
is 70 percent or more, then the VA has to take care
of the injury as it is a service care disability. The
second type of care for veterans is for those who
returned from the service and lived their lives.
The veterans receive an improved benefit level.
The veteran who meets the criteria could earn
an additional $1,000 benefit. There are specific
criteria which must be met to earn the additional

benefits.
Should anyone have a question regarding
veterans benefits, I suggest you call or get in
touch with the NH Office of Veterans Services in
Manchester, N.H. They do a great job and they
are free, continued Craig.
As Attorney Craig answered the questions, he

broke down the laws as well as gave the pros

and cons to the arguments which surround each
subject.
We just moved here from PA and my 90-yearold dad is now in an assisted living. He has
dementia. We are trying to move dads funds so
that we can pay for his assisted living. We will

be out of money by March or April, and we dont

know what to do explained a daughter and
husband attending the event.
Elder law is like a ball of yarn. How you pull
on the yarn to untangle the mess will determine
what happens first, commented Craig in answer
to their specific question. This we do. We will
be happy to meet with you and your dad to help
you with your concerns.
Craig also answered questions regarding
Medicare, Medicaid, asset tests, income, and
guardianship concerns. He mentioned that when
it comes to the care of a loved one, the caregiver
must be aware of the safety concerns for the
family member. I am a big fan of care facilities
and agencies, not a fan of a private hire, he said.
There is a network of help out there. It is just
about connecting the dots. I do not think people
get to an assisted care earlier enough.
The cost of assisted living care was also a
concern. How much does it cost? It could be
$9,000, $10,000, and even higher depending
on the assisted living afforded, explained Craig.
Now I am seeing a whole bunch of people
it is a tough situation. Where it gets scary is
when you are dealing with Alzheimers disease or
Parkinsons disease. These clients could be in an
assisted living facility for 10 years or more. One
size does not fit all.
As a NH licensed-attorney, Craig remained
focused to keeping his answers to NH law.
He also offered his services to help find qualified,
licensed attorneys in other states should the
need arise.

PMA Second Graders Give Thanks to Veterans

submitted by Presentation of
Mary Academy, Hudson
Miss Chans second grade class
is learning about the importance of
our countrys veterans. The eager
second graders read the book, God
Bless Our Troops by Jill Biden. The
class discussed how people all over
the United States have to leave their
families to help protect us and our
country. The students created cards
and wrote a special message in them.
Matthew Roma, who has a father
currently serving in the Marines, wrote:
Thank you for protecting our country.
Youre my hero! When asked what
inspired her to teach this lesson plan,
Meliza Chan responded, I wanted
to be able to show the children how
lucky we are to be living in such a great
country!

Hudson Chamber Invites

Public to Attend Dinner for Charity
submitted by Greater Hudson
Chamber of Commerce
The Greater Hudson Chamber of Commerce
will hold its Annual Silent Auction/Dinner for
Charity at The White Birch Catering and Banquet
Hall on Tuesday, Dec. 9, at 6 p.m. Cost to attend
is $25 per person and includes a buffet dinner of
roast beef, baked ham and pasta primavera.
The public is invited to join the chamber for a
great meal and possibly win some fabulous prizes,
all while raising funds for a worthwhile cause.
The event is a combination of raffle items and
silent auction items, which include event tickets,
gift baskets, holiday items, gift certificates and
much more. The GHCC is also welcoming item
donations for the auction.
This will be the 12th year in which the monies
received during the evening will be donated to
the Hudson Food Pantry at the St. John the Blessed
XXIII. The Hudson Food Pantry helps many local
families by maintaining a daily food pantry,

assisting with rent and utility bills, and especially

during the holidays by distributing food baskets
and gifts to families in need. Again, the call for
services such as food requests, assistance with
medical needs, fuel assistance and basic living
expenses has dramatically increased making
participation even more important.
Last year more than 50 businesses donated
wonderful items for the auction. With over 130
guests in attendance showing their holiday spirit
and generosity by participating in the auction,
the chamber raised more than $3,800. During
the past 12 years, the GHCC Annual Auction has
donated more than $58,000 for the benefit of our
community.
The Silent Auction/Dinner will be held on
Tuesday, Dec. 9, at 6 p.m. Reservations and item
donations can be made through the chamber
office at 889-4731 or visit www.HudsonChamber.

Kuster Makes Statement

on Veterans Day
submitted by the Ofce of
Congresswoman Annie Kuster
Congresswoman Annie Kuster (NH-02) released
the following statement in commemoration of
Veterans Day on Nov. 11.
Today, we come together to show our deep
respect and gratitude to our nations veterans, who
have made grave sacrifices to protect our freedom
and way of life. My father and father-in-law were
both veterans of World War II, so I have seen
firsthand the incredible courage and dedication
of the men and women who serve in our Armed
Forces. Today, our thoughts and prayers are with
those weve lost, our veterans, active duty service
members, and their families and friends. Thank
you all for your patriotism, your commitment, and
your valor.
The dedication shown by our veterans, their
families, and those who help support these

families, represents what makes this country truly

great. Their commitment symbolizes the spirit of
fortitude and community at the core of our nation.
As a people, we have the sacred responsibility
of honoring our men and women in uniform and
of supporting them during the transition back to
civilian life. When these brave service members
return home, they must have access to quality
health care, good jobs worthy of their skills and
talents, and the support and services they need.
As a member of the Veterans Affairs
Committee, I will continue to work every single
day to serve those who have served us. Our
veterans have made tremendous sacrifices and
put themselves into terrible danger to protect
our country. Today, and every day, we thank
and honor them for everything theyve done and
continue to do to protect our great country.

Weather Whys and Climate Wise

Going Cold Turkey
by Joseph DAleo, Certied
Consulting Meteorologist (CCM)
The cold is here on schedule
and we will have two snow
threats before Thanksgiving.
The winter will be a memorable
one for cold and snow across
much of the nation including the
Northeast. NOAA had a warm
forecast for November and the
NOAA forecast is still for a warm
winter. We told you to ignore it.
The market bought it initially,
but reality has set in and natural
gas spiked already nearly a
dollar. As usual the media looks
for a reason for anything that
doesnt fit the warming theme. Last year it was the polar vortex
and this year Typhoon Nuri causing the polar vortex to return.
Remember we forecast it would happen the last two years many
months in advance using natural factors like ocean anomalies and
solar behavior.
Natural gas inventory has improved due to the moderate summer
and early fall but still lagged last year by 7 percent.

Although oil and gas

production is up, we
in the Northeast are
vulnerable to big spikes
in the winter (as seen
last year).
This year we are
especially vulnerable
as we have posted, due
to insufficient pipeline
capacity, shutting
fossil fuel plants and
the Vermont Yankee
nuclear plant and
overall bad policy from
Lynchs Folly, the socalled Climate Action
Plan pushed by the environmentalists at UNH). Hopefully the new
state house and senate will revisit this policy error.
And relative to NOAAs claim each month is the warmest ever
recorded, they are job-preserving fabrications. Yes, the NOAA
climate center lies. We have proof we have the original data. The
warming is all in the adjustments. In this US Historical Climate
Network (USHCN) plot of raw observations versus adjusted,

we do see the 60-year natural cycle driven by the sun and oceans.
The raw data in blue shows we are not as warm as the 1930s,
agreeing with the station and state heat records.
NOAAs Climate Division controls the data and their budget like
NASAs climate group depends on their supplying model and data
support for the politically driven policy decisions and EPAs heavyhanded and misguided regulatory actions.
How did they do it? They cooled off the first half of the 20th
century and most recently made changes to past ocean temperatures
so that current ones appear warmer. Here is a working document
summarizing the data integrity issues http://scienceandpublicpolicy.
org/images/stories/papers/originals/surface_temp.pdf. Here is
one showing how they did the same in New Zealand http://
wattsupwiththat.com/2014/11/01/new-zealnds-temperature-recordchallenged-by-new-skeptical-paper/ and here in Australia http://
news.heartland.org/newspaper-article/2014/09/23/australianmeteorologists-caught-fudging-temperature-measurements
The EPA once served a needed purpose and helped clean up
our air and water. All air pollutant levels are below EPAs own
standards. Also you may remember Lake Erie was declared dead in
the 1960s. Now the EPAs real goal, according to Gina McCarthy, is
to change energy policy by making it impossible to use fossil fuels
or gasoline powered cars by lowering standards to unachievable
levels. They are doing so, while ignoring public opinion and the real
science.
Dr. Jay Lehr, founder of the EPA, opines, It is clear that the shrill
panic of the global warmers has worn thin on the common people
in this nation. They no longer take it seriously and see it for what it
is: the last death rattle of a delusion that never impacted Earth, its
environment, or its citizens.
German Analysis Finds UN IPCC Synthesis Lacks Facts
Our friend Pierre Gosselin in Germany reports on findings there
that the summary for policymakers released in early November by
the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has
once again betrayed the science found in the body of the report. In
addition, its conclusions and warnings fly squarely in the face of
measurable evidence concerning the state of the climate.
The European Institute for Climate and Energy (which goes by
its German acronym, EIKE) has done a careful analysis of the IPCC
summary for policymakers (SPM) and its synthesis report. The
SPM includes significant contradictions, simplifications, and even
distortions of the science contained in the full reports. In addition,
on major points, its conclusions and warnings stand in stark contrast
to almost all of the measurements and trends observed in nature.
The EIKE report looks at nine specific claims made in the IPCCs
SPM and synthesis report and finds fault with each one - warming
air, sea level rise, ocean temperature rise, more storms, less polar
ice, more extreme weather, falling crop yields, species extinctions,
and mans responsibility for climate change.
In short, as the German magazine der Spiegel reported, At the
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, Alarmism comes before
Accuracy.
Willie Soon, Harvard Astrophysicist remarks: The natural
experiment for the last 18 to 20 years has provided us a confident
answer that atmospheric CO2 is not an important player for
controlling the globe temperature. When will IPCC admit that their
scare mongering is simply not working anymore? Our wonderful
planet is not IPCCs private casino parlor. Ditto, Washington, DC.
Joe DAleo, a Hudson resident for the last 25 years, co-founded
The Weather Channel and served as its first director of meteorology
back in 1982. With more than 40 years of experience in professional
meteorology, he has served as chief meteorologist for Weatherbell
Analytics since 2011. As a fellow of the American Meteorologist
Society, he has testified about weather and climate before federal
and state legislatures and taken the science lead on legal briefs to the
D.C. circuit and U.S. Supreme courts. Let Joe know what you think

Poor Howard Stith Brings Blues to Hudson

Professional 12-string guitarist Poor Howard Stith plays blues

at the Rodgers Memorial Library in Hudson.

by Tom Tollefson
Last Wednesday, Nov. 5, the sounds in the George H. and Ella
M. Rodgers Memorial Library transported patrons back to the
southern United States in the early 20th century through the classic
early 20th century blues melodies that graced the performance
room. Blues singer/guitarist Howard Stith, nicknamed Poor
Howard Stith, gave two performances at the library that day, one at
3 and one at 7. Both performances had 40-50 in attendance.
I like keeping the old blues alive and it always surprises me
how many people show up, Stith said.
During Stiths one-man performance, he rotated between playing
a 12-string Hauver guitar, and two different resonating guitars, in
addition to providing the vocals.
Stiths pre-World War II blues form of jazz included his own
rendition of many traditional blues songs such as Down In New
Orleans, and Bourgeois Blues by Huddie Lead Belly, Ive Got
Rambling on My Mind by Robert Johnson, and Sales Tax Boogie

by Piano Red. Stith also performed some of his original songs

such as Kansas City Papa. The lyrics in the songs vividly painted
pictures of the traditional southern U.S. culture, including topics
such as fried food, the Mississippi River, cotton fields, lively city
life, and even complaints about taxes.
Stith also treated the audience to the song Good Night Irene
by Huddie Lead Belly, which was the first song he learned to play
on the guitar. Before the song was over, he had a majority of the
audience singing along to the tunes.
I think hes fantastic. He reminds me of going to the Club 47
in Cambridge Harvard Square in 1965, said audience member
Beverly Gazio from Hudson.
Stith has been a professional musical performer for over 50 years
and has performed all over the United States. He currently resides
in Dover, N.H., and is the winner of the 2012 Granite State Blues
Society Challenge. You can find out more about Stith on www.

The Campbell High School auditorium was
ready on Nov. 6: lighting was ideal, candles
were ready, certificates were printed, pins were
at hand and the official register was at the table.
The music began and the current National
Honor Society members led the procession
into the hall, as 21 students were about to be
inducted.
As is the tradition, current chapter officers
spoke about the four principles of the
National Honor Society: character by Connor
Cote, chapter president; service by Amanda
Simoneau, vice president; leadership by Katie
Keane; and scholarship by Matthew Lepore,
chapter historian.
The guest speaker for the evening was Dr.
Scott Blackstone, who teaches engineering
and technology courses at Campbell, who
previously worked in the engineering world
starting and running several research and
development businesses. He spoke about the
four principles of the National Honor Society.

When he got to service he told the students

that they have an obligation to share the gifts
they have, and with character, they have the
responsibility to use it to help someone else.
The following are the newly inducted CHS
National Honor Society members: Jeffrey
Briggs, Adam Champagne, Kylie Elliott, Carrie
Fernandez, Sarah Flynn, Harrison Hildalgo,
Sarah Hobbs, Emma Kuczkowski, Grant

Most people just think of Veterans Day as a day off of school
or work. However, this holiday was meant to acknowledge and
honor all the men and women who have served in our armed
forces. This includes members of the U.S. Army, Navy, Marine
Corps, Air Force and the Coast Guard. Veterans are honored for
the sacrifices they have made to serve our country.
Veterans are the bravest people in our nation and they are
honored for helping our country have so many rights and
freedoms. Our rights as Americans have been preserved each time
brave men and women fight for us. One of the rights people enjoy
is freedom of religion. We are free to belong to whichever religion
we want. In other countries, people cannot openly practice
their religion or they will be punished for it. We are also lucky

Litcheld Middle School
The literal definition of a veteran is a person
who has had long service or experience in a
particular occupation or field. But a veteran is
more than just words on a Google search page.
Yes, our veterans have a lot of experience in loss
and distress but, they also have experience in
happiness and pride.
lf you ever really look into a veteran you would
know that they do so much for us every single
day. Veterans dont get the credit they deserve
for all they do for our country. As Americans we
hold the responsibility to serve them as they have
served us, and that is with respect and admiration.
We only have one day to do this out of the year
so we have to make it count. Too many times to
count I hear we get a day off from school and
thats not the point of the holiday. The reason we
have Veterans Day is to give thanks to people who
have/are serving our country. In the past couple
years we have failed to fulfill our responsibility

as Americans. This lack of respect is a betrayal to

the trust that America has to all who wear, and all
who have worn the proud uniform of our country.
We shouldnt only honor veterans on Veterans
Day. We should also honor the families that have
lost people who were fighting, and have people
fighting in the wars. Because, they as well have
contributed a great deal to our country. We
honor our veterans because of the sacrifices that
they make to secure that we can go on with our
normal lives. They offer their time, quality of life,
and most importantly, their entire life for us. They
do this believing that they will help us achieve the
greater good, in our own lives as well as others.
We honor the men and women who sacrifice their
lives so that others will live a more fulfilling life.
Veterans are more than a people with
experience; they are people that will be
remembered for what they did for our country.
We should all remember to give thanks to all
veterans on this very important day.

to be Americans because in this country children can get a good

education and most of us are able to get good jobs to provide for
our families. The men and women who have given us these rights
are veterans.
Men and women all over our country have had to leave their
families during their time of service. Many have returned with
injuries, but others arent as fortunate and sadly dont get to see
their families again. Jos Narosky once said, In war, there are no
unwounded soldiers. No military veteran, whether they served in
active duty or not, escapes the service unscarred.
All veterans, especially the people that do not remain with us
today, have paid the ultimate price for freedom in America. This is
why we owe them a tremendous debt of gratitude.

Principal Tom Leckider addresses the students and staff of Litchfield Middle School. We pause on Veterans Day to honor our brave men and women,
who for more than 235 years, have defended our freedom by their duty, honor, and selfless service.
The military taught me many things very early on in my career.
During basic training I had to learn things that didnt seem to make
sense to me at the time. Like, how to make my bed perfectly
(leaving no bumps in the sheets or blankets). Why? Whats the
purpose of that? Wrinkled sheets are no big deal, right?
I also had to polish the chrome on the sinks and toilets in the
latrines until they shined like the top of the Chrysler building.
Weird, I know. At the time when I was learning how to do all of
these things, I really did not know the importance of it.
Master Sgt. Siperek continued to state, As time went on, it all
started to make sense and all the things they taught me in basic
training sure did come in handy throughout out my career.
He stated that serving in the military has been an honor and,

although I no longer wear the uniform and report to duty, I will

remain an Airman forever. So, kids, you are constantly being told
to do things. Clean your room, do your homework, be kind to your
brother or sister. You are also being taught new things every day.
Sometimes, you will wonder why? What is the purpose? Try to
think of it like this: you are in training, training for your life and for
your future. Do things and do them well.
To conclude her speech, Master Sgt. Siperek commented,
Tomorrow is Veterans Day. It is a day of celebration to honor
Americas veterans for their patriotism, love of country, and
willingness to serve and sacrifice for the common good. Lets
remember all of our veterans.

NH Attorney General Joseph Foster told The

We are coming in and figuring out

First DI Season Ends as Broncos

by Len Lathrop
To be a first-year team in NHIAA Division I and make the playoffs
is a feat that should not be diminished by how Saturdays game
against Bishop Guertin ended. Still, the 27 to 9 loss stung.
As they had all season, the Broncos came to play. While Alvirne
won the coin toss, they deferred and the Cardinals took the kick
off, but went 3 and out with strong defensive play by the Broncos.
BG kicked to AHS who took over on the 40-yard line going out.
Alvirne then went 3 and out, and BG got the ball on the 22-yard
line. Once again, the Cardinals did not get the 10 yards and so
Alvirne got back on offense on the 40. George Notini came round
end for a first down. A pass to number 8 found the ball on the 30
heading toward the goal line as Jack Mahoney ran it to the 15. He
then took it to the 7-yard line. Next, a pass to Brycen Yarmo was

Andrew Stevens lays out in the end zone for a catch, which went incomplete.

knocked incomplete. Alvirne had to settle for 3 but was the first
team on the scoreboard. The first quarter ended with AHS ahead
3-0.
The game report would continue about the same in the second
period with the highlight being a13-yard pass to George Notini
with just over a minute left for another six points; the point-after
kick was missed with the half ending with a 9-0 Bronco lead.
The second half was a totally different game as the Cardinals
came to play and scored 27 unanswered points. Meanwhile, the
Broncos had five turnovers and only moved just over 60 yards the
whole quarter.
Game stats for AHS went this way: Danny Brown threw for
98 yards in 18 attempts with nine completions, Mike Roberts
completed two for 32 yards and Jack Mahoneys one attempt fell
incomplete. Reviewing catches, Mahoney had two for 28 yards,
Notini caught two out of six for 27 yards, and Andrew Stevens was
three for four for 27 yards (missing the second half with a shoulder

injury). Harold Leete went 2-for-2 for 32, while Yarmo pulled in
one for 11 yards, and Sam Bonney-Liles staged one for 5 yards.
The running game saw Mahoney in 22 carries gain 49, Notini had
20 yards from three handoffs, and Ryan Godchall took the pigskin
three times for 16 yards.
The Broncos defense had 21 solo tackles and 57 assists,
including Notini with five and both Roberts and Yarmo with three.
Coach Tim Walsh told the team after the game, It was a great
year. Division one is the hardest in the state; football is a process.
Thank you, seniors, for your hard work, leadership and character
-- Keep your heads up. To the underclassman -- be ready to do it
again next year, but dont forget the hurt. Learn from it; put in work
in the off season. We are not going backward.

Alvirne Lady Broncos Finish Up and Down Season on High Note

submitted by Frank G. Rosier, Jr.

The Alvirne Lady Broncos
Soccer team had an up and
down first season in Division 1
where the final record was not
indicative of how well the team
played.
The team was wrought with
injuries through the middle of
the season but played with heart
and, with little in the balance,
won their final game of the
season. That game, in the cold
rain and on Concords Senior
Night at SNHU, could have
been a throw away, but the team
played to the end and took a
hard-fought 1-0 victory. The
season featured a great start of
2-2-1 with a hard-fought double
overtime tie with Nashua North
and three shutouts in the first
five games.
Unfortunately for the Broncos,
the injury bug bit the team hard
with some key players missing

The Broncos will only lose four seniors this year and hope that the

Julianno and Hannah Croce, and sophomores,
intact led by a junior keeper Sammi Giannelli and junior center back
Jillian Houle and Dagney Wilkins, and their
Erin Rosier. This duo surrounded by sophomore Olivia Bertrand and
ability to bottle up the play in the middle and
freshman Jamie Calvagna orchestrated six shutouts out of 16 games,

facilitate for some potent front line finishers.

With their season complete, Alvirne held its annual awards night,
and Coach McAdam was emotional in his praise for the team. He
commented on their hard work ethic and ability to play through
adversity, highlighting some tough ties with high-ranked opponents.
The coaching staff awarded their Defensive MVP to center back Erin
Rosier, Coachs Award to midfielder Jillian Houle and Team MVP to
their keeper, Sammi Giannelli. Many players earned their varsity
letters and picked up a lot of varsity experience which can only help
the team next season.
The team will miss their seniors, Sarah McAdam, Ashleigh Lavery,
Samantha Mata and captain Brianna Wiggans, but hope to ride a
staunch group of underclassmen to reach even greater heights in
their second season at the Division 1 level. These returning players
include junior Erin Ruigrok, sophomores, Brianah Sellingham and
Olivia Beverlie and freshman Alexa Prescott. The teams strength has
always been great depth with a next-woman-up mentality. The team
will need all hands on deck and, before the season is over, probably
some help from their talented JV squad if they hope to have a great
2015 season.
Good luck Lady Broncos!

Cougars Cruise Past Somersworth in Playoff Opener

by Marc Ayotte
The Campbell High Football
team made it six wins in a row this
past Saturday with a resounding
34-19 thumping of third-ranked
Somersworth in D-III quarterfinals
action in Cougar Country. Campbell
withstood an all-world performance
