Dozens of children gathered around Chase Brook Pond in Litchfield last
Saturday morning. Dozens of youngsters cast their rods into the local pond at
the 33rd annual Kids Fishing Derby, sponsored by the Litchfield Conservation
Commission for just as many years.
The day was all about fun, but with a small dose of friendly competition.
Prizes were awarded to the children with the largest fish caught in the two age
groups of under 8 and 8-15. The first two finishers in each age group received
fishing poles, while the third-place finishers were awarded bait kits.
Each child was limited to five fish. It was free to fish, and none of the
children needed a fishing license since the state of New Hampshire does not
require anyone under 16 to have a fishermans license.
We keep it so that kids dont need a license. Its strictly for fun,
Conservation Commission member Marion Godzik said.
Many of the fathers in attendance enjoyed taking the opportunity to teach
their children how to fish. They also enjoyed watching their children catch fish.
The pond is stocked pretty heavy, so theyll catch something. It can get
pretty boring for kids if they dont get any fish, said John Barna, a Litchfield
resident and seasoned fisherman who came with his son, Cameron.
Last week, the pond was fully stocked for the year with a total of 400 fish.
The Conservation Commission bought 200 fish and the state matched it by
supplying an additional 200 fish. The fish included brookies (brook trout) and
rainbow trout ranging between 6 to 13 inches in length.

Some of the Hudson VFW Loyalty Day Award recipients gather with their certificates.
by Jay Hobson
The Veterans of Foreign Wars, Hudson Memorial Post 5791, and its auxiliaries
held their annual Loyalty Day Awards program on May 8, recognizing various
recipients who showed patriotism and heroism.
According to a program given to guests at the ceremony, Loyalty Day is observed
on May 1 in the United States, a day set aside for the reaffirmation of loyalty to
the country and for the recognition of the heritage of American freedom. It was
made an official holiday by the U.S. Congress on July 18, 1958. President Dwight
D. Eisenhower proclaimed May 1, 1959, the first official observance of Loyalty
Day. Although a legal holiday, it is not a federal holiday, and many people in the
United States remain unaware of it. This is a great day to honor those who give of
themselves within the community and help support the loyalty of U.S. veterans.
Because the towns of Litchfield and Londonderry have closed their VFW posts,
the Hudson post has absorbed those members, and those towns are represented in
the issuing of the awards, according to Hudson Post Commander Mike Duston.
Scholastic Awards:
Patriots Pen based on an essay entitled Why I Appreciate Americas Veterans:
Alyssa Griffin, Londonderry Middle School, first place
Teacher of the Year:

Post Awards:
Mens Auxiliary Post 5791: Peter Rodonis
Ladies Auxiliary Post 5791: Hayley Parrot
As the recipient of the Ladies Auxiliary Loyalty Day award, Parrot has been
volunteering for our organization since the age of 8 and for the last four years has
taken complete charge of elf duties and helping Santa give out Toys for Tots. As
members of the auxiliary we have watched her grow into a dedicated and caring
person, said Ladies Auxiliary President Kate Ouellette.
Mens Auxiliary Post 5791: Bryan Conant
The recipient for the Mens Auxiliary Loyalty Day award joined the mens
auxiliary a little over a year ago under his fathers eligibility, a retired Air Force
officer. Since joining, they have been active participants in many post and
auxiliary events. Bryan has become a trustee and joined the honor guard where he
is the honor guard captain, all this while going to college to become a nurse and
working as an ambulance dispatcher. Bryan is a graduate of Alvirne High School
where he was a former AFJROTC cadet, said Post Commander Duston.

Hit by Car in
Hudson Mall Lot
submitted by Hudson Police Department
On Saturday afternoon, May 9, Hudson
Police personnel responded to the Hudson Mall
parking lot for the report of a pedestrian struck
by a vehicle. Upon arrival to the scene, contact
was made with the involved subjects who were
identified as follows: driver Steven Cennerazzo,
56, of Hudson, and pedestrian Luann Bowden,
53, also of Hudson.
The on-scene investigation determined Bowden
was walking west in the parking lot (in front of the
post office) when she was struck by Cennerazzos
vehicle. His 2008 Ford Focus was traveling
south at the time of the collision. Bowden was
treated at the scene by Hudson Fire Department
personnel and transported to the Southern New
Hampshire Medical Center for what appeared to
be minor injuries. Cennerazzo did not complain
of any injuries.
This accident is still under investigation by the
Hudson Police Department.

also competed in disability awareness doing a blindfold walk,
with one Cub guiding another by voice only. They also had some
fun events like shooting Nerf darts at zombie 2-liter bottles. That
brings up the theme for the event, which was Zombie Slayer Boot
Camp. The yearly event always has a fun theme, with the games
re-named to follow that theme. Prior events have been based on
Star Wars and the Wild West.

lunch is no different. You can pre-order up to a weeks worth of
lunches, that includes both your beverage and dessert, for pick up

you are off to, so you never need to make a lunch again.
Seniors get a 15 percent discount on Tuesdays, and Cookies offers
call-ahead seating.
With fresh baked breads daily, its harder to decide what to eat

Congresswoman Annie Kuster (D-NH) announced the
reintroduction of her bill, the Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
Prevention Act, during an event at the Hudson Fire Department
last Wednesday.
Kuster said that her bill would help states implement important
programs that reduce the risk of death by carbon monoxide
poisoning.
New Hampshire Fire Marshal J. William Degnan joined her at
the entrance to the fire station for the announcement.
According to the Centers for Disease Control, carbon
monoxide poisoning results in over 400 deaths and 20,000
emergency visits each year, Kuster said.
Kuster said that this past winter, there were two incidents
in Hudson in which people were treated for severe carbon
monoxide poisoning, and just last year, three people died after a
carbon monoxide poisoning incident in Plaistow.
Im proud to introduce this legislation, which would help
protect New Hampshire families from the grave dangers of carbon
monoxide poisoning, Carbon monoxide poisoning is the leading
cause of accidental poisoning death in the United States, and is
a particular concern in cold-weather states like New Hampshire.
We must ensure that families have the resources they need, which
in many cases, is something as simple as a properly functioning
CO detector, to heat their homes safely and without incident.

PUBLIC NOTICES
PUBLIC MEETING
Tick-Tick-Tick-Tick
submitted by Hudson Fire Department
The headline does not refer to the passage of time, but to the
serious public health issue faced in New Hampshire and more
specifically Hudson. The southern tier communities
(of which Hudson is one) currently have the highest
rate of Lyme disease in the state. With that said,
the passage of time is extremely important in A)
removing a tick and B) receiving treatment when
symptoms appear.
Greater than 60 percent of ticks are testing
positive for Lyme disease in Hillsborough and
Rockingham counties. Sixty percent! The State of
New Hampshire Department of Health and Human

If there was a day when everything
went right for the Campbell boys and
girls Track teams, Tuesday was that day.
Both teams took home first-place honors
as numerous athletes racked up top
finishes.
On the boys side first-place finishers
included Mike Richardson in the 100
meter (12.38), Sean Munnelly in the 800
meter (2:08.68) and 1600 meter (4:38.8),
Trevor Rizzo in the 110 meter hurdles
(19.6) and 300 meter hurdles (46.58).
The boys team also took home first in
the 4x100 relay, consisting of Quigley,
Richardson, Robinson and Gomes, with
a time of 49.14 seconds, as well as the
4x400 relay, with Hildago, Hogan, Sam
Munnelly and Sean Munelly combining
for a time of 3 minutes and 53.54
seconds. In the field events, Harrison Vedrani
took home top honors in the high jump, clearing
5 feet 2 inches, and also in discus, with a throw
of 93 feet. In pole vault, Christian Wallenmaier
finished first, clearing 11 feet, while Luke Hogan
took home top honors in the long jump event,
with a jump of 17 feet 11 inches. Jack Curtin
hurled his javelin further than anyone else,
finishing with an event-best 119 feet 3 inches.
On the girls side, Savannah Reinitzer had
another strong meet taking home the top spot in
the 100 meter (13.49 seconds) and also in the
200 meter with a time of 28.06 seconds. The
Campbell girls also swept the top-three spots
in both the 100 meter, as Alissa Picard finished
second
(13.64
seconds) and

PMA are getting the job done. With 20 of the 27

grades, have proven to be a hard-working and
dedicated bunch.
