Unresolved fatigue and unexplainable neurological
problems haunted Hudson resident, Carl Tuttle, for 12
years before he became one of the 300,000 people
diagnosed with Lyme disease in the United States every
year. The disease is transmitted through tick bites and
can be transmitted in less than 24 hours. According to
the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
Lyme disease is the most commonly reported vector
borne illness in the United States, and while the
disease is so commonly diagnosed it does not occur
nationwide and is concentrated heavily in the northeast
and upper Midwest. This places New Hampshire
directly in the center of a high-risk Lyme disease area.
A NH tick study conducted by UMass Amherst that 77
percent of ticks in the Litchfield, New Hampshire area
carry the disease.
Mr. Tuttle reaped the negative effects
of the disease for 12 years before
finding a cause to his sudden
illness. Do to the prolonged
exposure to the bacteria
without proper treatment,
Tuttle now tests positive for
the Epstein-Barr virus. Lyme
undiagnosed or untreated
for an extended period of time can
reactivate the Epstein-Barr virus in
an individual that harbors the virus already Tuttle
explained. In Tuttles case the virus causes severe
fatigue. He commented People may see me walking
the street to the local pond and think I am well, but they
dont see me while Im on the couch sick, it can be a
few hours every day and until that is actually resolved I
havent had the energy to work full time. This chronic
fatigue was just one of the symptoms that caused
Tuttle to leave his 25 year career as a sales executive
for a national reseller of Sun Microsystems servers
and software. For seven months Tuttle was placed
on high dose IV antibiotics and after his diagnosis
in 2008 he was bedridden and put on oxygen. The
most devastating effect he faced was his loss of verbal
fluency. Public speaking was a large contributor to the
success of Tuttles career, and his neurological problems
stripped all confidence he had built up throughout the
years. I was forgetting the names of my co-workers
that I had worked with for 25 years, I didnt know where
I was on my commute home, and was being tested for
early Alzheimers disease he commented.
Between Mr. Tuttle, his wife, Janet, and daughter,
Erika, who both also have been diagnosed with Lyme
disease, an excess of $100,000 has been spent on
treatment plans. Erika now tests positive for the EpsteinBarr virus as well. She went about four years without
proper treatment or diagnosis of the disease, which
ultimately caused her to develop an Attention Deficit
Disorder. The disorder forced her to miss a semester at
college so she could take high dose antibiotics; she now
is prescribed stimulants to help control her condition.
Janets Lyme disease left her with no neurological
problems, but after six years without proper treatment
she developed severe joint pain in her knees. Carl Tuttle
explained she could barely walk up stairs without
excruciating pains, it got to the point where we were
discussing knee replacement surgery. Luckily, after
three years of antibiotics the joint pain resolved and she
has gone six months without any residual effects.
The variations of Lyme disease symptoms within
the Tuttle family alone was enough for Carl to realize
that something was off about how the disease is being
dealt with by the medical community. After years of
research, he has decided to spearhead a congressional
investigation of the CDC, Infectious Diseases Society of
America (IDSA) and American Lyme Disease Foundation
(ALDF). So far Tuttle has created a petition on Change.
org that has collected over 28,500 signatures in the last
two years alone. Each signature provides a comment
explaining how Lyme disease has affected the petitioner.
Tuttle explained some of the flaws within the standard
treatment plans for Lyme disease Were not even sure
the standard treatment guideline is ideal for Lyme; Johns
Hopkins conducted a study and 36 percent of acute
Lyme patients developed additional symptoms after they
stopped the treatment plan.
While the disease can be diagnosed clinically, blood
tests are the preferred form of diagnoses. Antibodies
toward Lyme disease do not develop for four to six
weeks after the initial bite test results are often negative
and patients are told they do not have Lyme disease.
The biggest problem we have today is there is no
way to gauge treatment failure or success so we dont
know if we have gotten Lyme out of the system. The
antibodies that develop after Lyme is contracted may
remain in a persons system for years after the disease is
eradicated, this leaves doctors with very little concrete
information as to how persistent the disease is in most
cases.
The CDC refuses to recognize the Inadequate
treatment, inadequate testing, and inadequate
classification of the disease that is causing so many
cases to go unreported and thus cause irreversible
damage to those infected.
Tuttle has spoken with representatives from both
the State House and Washington, D.C. to initiate the
investigation. He believes the lack of recognition and
responsibility for the mistreatment, and diagnoses of
Lyme by the CDC can only be stopped if brought to a
national level. For more information on Lyme disease

and Associated Diseases Society website: http://www.

Director of Community Relations, Fairview Healthcare
On Saturday, June 27, 2015, at 10:30 a.m., Kasey Gust walked down the
aisle at The Inn at Fairview escorted by her father, Michael Gust. Michael,
age 58, is living with early onset Alzheimers and is a resident of The Inn at
Fairview as a result of this disease. Since Michael will not be able to attend
his daughters wedding in the fall in Ohio because of the very specialized
care needs that he has, on Saturday, the wedding came to him.
Michael walked his daughter down the aisle to her groom, Matt Hudson.
Following the vows the family and their friends joined by The Inn at Fairview
residents and staff enjoyed a reception complete with food, flowers, and a
DJ for dancing. The bride had her father-daughter dance and her first dance
with her groom. The
wedding cake was cut,
and family photos were
taken.
The Gust family will
have keepsake photos of
this amazing event which
will include their beloved
father and husband
Michael. Due to his
diagnosis of Alzheimers
disease Michael may not
remember the wedding in
the days that follow, but
his family will have these
memories for a lifetime.
Early Onset Alzheimers
takes so much from
individuals and their
families. The goal at The
Inn at Fairview is to give
back as much as they can.

Sorry Litchfield, No School Budget Surplus


to Return to Taxpayers
by Len Lathrop
As school years wind to a close in mid- to late June, most
superintendents must take a deep breath. However, we cant be sure what
kind of breath Brian Cochrane took.
Superintendent of the Litchfield School District, Brian Cochrane offered
his resignation to the school board effective June 30, 2015. In a statement
released June 20 by Litchfield Education Associations president, Nate
Cooper, it was announced that its members had voted no-confidence in
Cochrane as the district superintendent; the term super majority was used
to describe the results of the vote. According to the LEA statement there
were several factors in the decision but most reasons for the decision
focused on its belief that the students needs in Litchfield were not
being served by the district. The statement continued to fault Corcorans
unilateral decision-making and micromanaging of teachers, programs and
building maintenance.
Following several school board meetings, Cochrane resigned, but was
appointed as interim superintendent beginning July 1, and ending August
31, 2015, with 14-day notification clauses viable for both Cochrane and
the school district.
Cochranes service as Litchfield superintendent began July 1, 2012;
prior to that he was assistant superintendent of the Nashua school system.
Brian Bourque, on behalf of the school board, issued a press release
thanking Cochrane for his three years of service to the district and wishing
him well in future pursuits.
School board member John York spoke with the HLN this week and
was candid in his conversations. Although he was not able to answer all

questions because many things happened in nonpublic session, he did


indicate that as the school board came out of nonpublic session they
voted to pay severance to Cochrane in the amount of one-year salary. York
stated it is roughly $135,000 along with about $20,000 in other payments
due to Cochrane from his contract. York was quick to emphasize that
the school board had this money in surplus from the budget at the end of
the year, and while the plan was to return it to the taxpayers as required
under New Hampshire statues, it was encumbered to close out Cochranes
tenure at SAU 27. York, when asked about the LEA vote, said he didnt
see it coming, but felt that the decision was the best for the district, as
the school board couldnt find a way forward, and any other resolution
discussed would have split the board. The hope is to have a new interim
superintendent in place before the beginning of the next school year. York
commented that he felt that Cochrane had done what the board had asked
him to do, that he has changed the direction of the district in many fronts
instituting a student and teacher information system, and changing how
the building access is granted as just two of many.
Cochrane was also very candid during a phone conversation this week
stating he was surprised by the vote of no-confidence, and felt that the
LEAs largest issue focused around the school calendar and how teaching
hours were to be used. Cochrane continued that he felt he had strived to
meet the school boards goals and that student learning was always at the
forefront. Voters had supported the school district by granting a teachers
contract for three years which on top of a cost-of-living increase allowed
some step increases for teachers who had gone without them some for

Word Is Out on the NH Hands Free Law


by Doug Robinson
We at the Hudson Police Department are very thankful and very pleased with the results of all the
advertising and education programs which have been designed to inform the public about the new
NH Hands Free Law, which went into effect July 1,2015, commented Captain William Avery.
The new law states that no use of hand-held electronic devices capable of providing voice or
data communication while driving or temporarily halted in traffic for a stop sign or traffic signal or
other momentary delays may be used. This includes cell phone, GPS, tablets, iPods, iPads or other
devices that require data entry writes Michelle Vachon, HPD Records.
Vachons interdepartmental memo also states:
Emergency calls to 9-1-1 or other public safety agencies will be allowed
Bluetooth or other hands-free electronic devices will be allowed
One-hand non-cellular 2-way radio uses will be allowed
Teen drivers under the age of 18 will not be allowed to use any electronic devices (handheld or not) except to report an emergency. Anyone violating this will be subject to
penalties and license suspension or revocation.
If your vehicle is not equipped with Bluetooth functionality, auto service centers can install
after-market systems or over the ear devices can be purchased at (various) retailers.
The penalties for violations are $100 first, $250 - second, and third
within two years - $500.
Captain Avery commented that during the period of July 1 to July 7, the

submitted by David S. Morin, HFD Public Information Liaison


A large gasoline spill on June 29 required the response of the
States Department of Environmental Services. Medic 1 with a
crew of Firefighters Sullivan, Blinn and Mulcay returning from a
call at 77 Lowell Rd. discovered the spill at the gas station located
72 Lowell Rd. at 4:46 p.m.
Upon investigating, the crew determined the spill was coming
from a gasoline tanker filling the gas station tanks and requested
an engine company to assist. Before Dispatcher Glenn could tone
the engine company, a call was received reporting a motor vehicle
accident at the intersection of Library and Ferry Streets.

Car 1 with Chief Buxton arrived on the scene within a minute


reported two vehicles. Ladder 2 on the air at the time of the
call returned to Central Station for the squad, and a Nashua
ambulance was toned to the scene.
Engine 4 with a crew of Lieutenant Kearns and Firefighter
Conlon were toned to 72 Lowell Road along with Car 4 with
Captain Grebinar. Due to the lack of manpower Ambulance 4
with a crew of Firefighter Provencal was sent to Central Station.
Car 4 assumed command of the Lowell Road scene and
reported between 20 and 25 gallons of gasoline had spilled in the
parking lot of the gas station. Firefighters spread available speedy
dry on the spilled gasoline and requested the Hudson Highway
Department to respond with sand to cover the remaining spill.
Car 1 cleared the motor vehicle crash and responded to Lowell
Road.
As crews continued to work at the gasoline spill and motor
vehicle accident fire alarm received a 9-1-1 call reporting
medical on Rangers Drive. Due to the lack of manpower to cover
apparatus Medic 1 was cleared from the scene and responded to
the call. Crews worked for about an hour to bring the will recall
under control.

In this c. 1935 photo we are standing near 99 Robinson Road
looking west c. 1930. At that time Robinson was pretty much a
single lane roadway unless you happened to meet a car from the
opposite direction. In that case the car coming east would scoot off
to the right until the oncoming car was passed. The utility pole seen
here provided telephone service from the central at Hudson Center.
Electricity was not available in this part of town until about 1946.

Letters to our Editor

Keeping the Negatives is a Positive


I occasionally look at your Salem and Pelham-Windham editions but I
most likely never paid attention to an advertisement in the Salem paper,
Cardinal Camera, because I always had my 35mm prints done at Walgreens
in Nashua. But recently all pharmacy photo processing locally has stopped,
they mail it out and you dont get your negatives back; which I think is
absurd. Then I took a gathering of rolls up to Concord Camera, thinking I
would [hit] pay dirt and I went into shock to be told the same thing.
Then, two weeks ago when I stopped by to place my own advertisement,
picked up the Salem and Pelham-Windham papers, to find the Cardinal
Camera ad for their own film processing that I wouldnt ever known about
via the HLN edition. They just got me caught up on prints going back to
last summer.
While there yesterday, I encouraged Tim (who I believe is the owner) to
put their ad in the Hudson and Salem papers because other camera folks
who still prefer 35mm might be in the same situation I was and would want
to know they still do 35mm developing in-house; Ive already told friends.
In chapter two of my life now and using my Nikon Em since my Army
days, its never let me down or been repaired/serviced. Im hoping it will
continue to keep me emotionally connected to photography the old way and
back to my Army days in a photo intelligent unit. Its my link to the past
of thousands of photos with it, that in a year or two I want to try to do a
photo-show or display.
Back to Cardinal Camera, I hope they take my suggestion to place ads
in your other papers; theyre missing out on business. They need to keep
processing 35mm film there.

Kinder Morgan is no Stranger to Political


Corruption and Negligence

Why does FERC approve these projects? Presidential elections are


influenced with money, buying a scrupulous president. How can we
have faith in the ethics and actions of FERC commissioners the president
appoints?
Will the profits from these pipeline projects turn into contributions for
these political committees?
We have the power to stop these people from destroying our
neighborhoods, towns and state!
Please write to the FERC (Docket No. PF-14-22-00), NH Public Utilities
Commission and the NH Site Evaluation Committees with your concerns.
You are also invited to write to your elected officials. Allowing KM to
trespass for survey is your choice. Facebook and pipeline groups have been
formed to make this fight together.
Please join me in doing everything in our power to stop this corruption
from destroying Hudson and NH!
For more information on how you can fight, you can email me at
hudson_liberty@yahoo.com.

Kinder Morgan (KM), a Texas company, founded in 1997 by Richard


Kinder is formerly Enron Liquid Pipeline Company (ELPC), subsidiary of
Enron Corporation (Enron). Richard Kinder is currently CEO and majority
shareholder (SH) of KM. He purchased ELPC with William Morgan in
1996. Richard Kinder was the president and COO of Enron until 1996,
where he was one of three majority SHs, earning a $700TH salary and $1M
bonus. (sec.gov)
Until his departure in 1996, Richard Kinder had worked with Kenneth
Lay, Enron executive deemed to have lead corruption scandal responsible for
collapse of Enron and financial crisis in 2001!
Financial and energy fraud (fraudulent market manipulations/capped
retail electricity prices/illegal shutdowns of pipelines by Enron caused
California Energy Crisis), contributed to demise of Enron in 2001.
(Wikipedia)
KM made numerous acquisitions, including El Paso Corporation (EPC)
in 2012, creating largest midstream energy company in North America.
EPC owned largest natural gas pipeline system including subsidiary
Tennessee Pipeline Company (TPC). KM merged with EP in November of
2014 with final merger and dissolution Jan. 1, 2015! (sec.gov)
EP was involved in energy fraud in 2000 and 2001 California energy
crisis. FERC investigated and later indicted EP energy trader for making
false energy trades. El Paso name appears on some of existing vertical gas
pipeline markers in Hudson. (Wikipedia)
Kenneth Lay, Enron, El Paso, Richard/Nancy Kinder, energy, petroleum,
gas pipeline and public service companies made numerous contributions to
political committees, which are unethically used to influence elections and
legislation. (fec.gov)
Kinder Foundation funded projects including Bush Center. Richard
Kinder campaigned for Bush and McCain.
Gas and oil companies receive special tax shelters, including exemption
from passive activity rules.
KM and subsidiaries have been involved in numerous incidents, accidents
and litigation. (Wikipedia/sec.gov-Kinder Morgan/Tennessee Gas Pipeline)
Continued political corruption destroys democracy and poses a great
threat to our well-being as a citizen, town, state and country.
How are we to believe Kinder Morgan will be different than their
predecessors, when they have already demonstrated negligence,
inconsistencies and numerous false statements?

Happy 4th of July


The 4th of July weekend is finally upon us. Actually, July 2 is the real day
of Independence, but we celebrate on the 4th because thats when congress
accepted the Declaration of Independence from Thomas Jefferson, who
had changed the wording of the document from the pursuit of property
to the pursuit of happiness. Congress eventually declared July 4 as an
official holiday in 1870 as part of a bill to officially recognize other holidays,
Christmas being one of them.
This weekend is a time for cookouts with family and friends, parades, and
fireworks. But with all of the fun and festivities, we also should take some
time to remember why we celebrate this important day. Over the years
several countries have used the Declaration of Independence as a beacon in
their own struggles for freedom. The Declaration of Independence, which
was approved by the Continental Congress on July 4, 1776, can really be
considered our nations birth certificate.
That noble experiment that gave birth to the United States of America
239 years ago continues today. Our forefathers couldve only dreamed
that what began as a declaration of their independence, on paper, would
turn into the greatest country in the world. I hope that you all have a safe
and happy 4th of July with your family and friends. Drive safely on our
highways and enjoy all that our wonderful state and great country have to
offer.
Happy Birthday America!

Not Checking Facts can be Bad for Business


I write this Letter To The Editor in response to your June 5, 2015,
publishing of a Thumbs Up? Thumbs Down? comment on Page 12 of the
Hudson~Litchfield News. The comment does not identify the person(s) who
offered it, but states:
Thumbs down to the Smith Plumbing Van that has just been sitting
dead on Fulton Street in Hudson. It is an eye sore for the neighborhood and
shows no respect for potential customers. I will be going elsewhere for my
plumbing needs and I hope others do too.
Smith Plumbing is owned and operated by the Smith family. Robert C.
Smith, a long-time resident of Hudson, founded the business decades ago.

Many people who knew him over the years could attest that his business
dealings were often based upon his good word, his trust of others and a
handshake. In recent years, the business has been and remains operated by
his sons, Jon and Curt, who from personal and business perspectives, follow
in his footsteps in many ways. His grandson, Jeff, has also been employed
with the business for quite some time and has more recently assumed
management responsibilities.
Smith Plumbing has been and strives to remain successful by pride,
devotion to good service, sensitivity to the needs of others, desire to serve
others well, very hard work and provision of quality service. Families that
operate any business are well aware that earning and maintaining a good
reputation are crucial to success, and that what other people think or have to
say publicly about the business can have a positive or negative effect.
The Smith Plumbing van that is referred to in the Thumbs Up? Thumbs
Down? comment is neither owned by the business or subject to its control
and placement. The vans presence on Fulton Street should not have been
associated with any action or intent by Smith Plumbing. The callers
comment was inaccurate and its conclusion undeserved, yet it has resulted
in some people making comments to Smith family members, or informing
them that they will no longer utilize Smith Plumbings services. Such events
are quite unsettling and of concern to Smith Plumbing.
The heading of the Thumbs Up? Thumbs Down? column of the
Hudson~Litchfield News for June 5, 2015, states that comments expressed
in the column are the sole views of callers and do not reflect the views of
the Hudson~Litchfield News or its advertisers. It also states, however, that:
... the Hudson~Litchfield News editorial staff holds the right to refuse any
comment deemed inappropriate.
My online search for the Hudson~Litchfield News resulted in me finding
the attached page, which states that comments expressed in the column are
the sole views of the callers and do not reflect the views of the Area News
Group or its advertisers. It goes on to say:
... The Area News Group Thumbs column should not be used to hurt
or defame an individual or business ... The Area News Group Editorial Staff
holds the right to refuse any comment deemed inappropriate.
On behalf of Smith Plumbing, I offer a Thumbs Down to the
unidentified person(s) who offered the undeserved comment. A simple
telephone call to Smith Plumbing, rather than offering inaccurate and
inappropriate information for public comment, could have avoided all of
this. Also on behalf of Smith Plumbing, I ask that the Hudson~Litchfield
News and Area News Group very closely scrutinize and refuse to publish
such types of comments in the future as they are offered by unidentified
persons without any investigation or proof of accuracy, and they can hurt or
defame good businesses and families, such as Smith Plumbing.

Hudsons Community Response Greatly


Appreciated
There is not much to say beyond these two simple words, thank you.
The Hudson Firefighters Relief Association called for help and the
Hudson Community responded to our aid. We asked for help to raise funds
to assist one of firefighters with obtaining a diabetic dog for his son.
Thank you for demonstrating the power of community, for thinking
and acting locally as a way to help a young boy deal with a life threatening
medical condition.
Thank you Firefighter Dave Brideau and his band Max Voltage,
Firefighter Mike Armand and the many others who donated their time and
effort to our cause.
Big things are possible from the smallest of actions as we raised over
$4,000 to move forward in the process of giving Carter a lifesaver and new
best friend.
Again, Id like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank each person who
gave to this very important event. It means a lot to Carter, his family and the
members of the Hudson Firefighters Relief Association.
President David S. Morin, HFFRA, Hudson

In My Opinion...

NH Speaker of the House Disagrees With Budget Veto


by Shawn Jasper,
NH Speaker of the House
While the legislature has been enjoying
a well-deserved summer recess, legislative
leadership, along with the governor and
her staff have begun a series of meetings
for the purpose of crafting a plan that
would allow us to move forward in
dealing with those parts of the budget on
which we disagree. While the Continuing
Resolution is in place until December,
it was important to have initiated these
discussions.
In a recent letter to the governor, I
reminded her that we have confirmed, through the Legislative
Budget Assistant, that the budget she vetoed is a balanced spending
plan, addressing many of the concerns that she had brought to the
legislature.
There are a number of different paths that we could have taken
in order to resolve the detrimental effects placed upon the people
of New Hampshire when Governor Hassan exercised her veto
authority.
As a direct result of her action, we very well could witness a spike
in property taxes, depending upon how and when the Department of
Revenue Administration sets local property taxes, the inability of the

5 George Street,

Please join us in welcoming our new


doctor Molly Harrison DMD.
Molly is a native of Windham, New
Hampshire. She received her BS at St.
Michaels College in Vermont and her
DMD from the University of Pittsburgh
School of Dental Medicine. Dr. Harrison
completed a General Practice Residency
at Loyola University Medical Center in
Chicago.Molly has been very well received
from both our staff and our patients. The
addition of Dr. Harrison will allow us to
continue to offer our extended hours and
treatment options to all our patients.

state to address the opioid epidemic, as well as any undue pressure


felt by the states health and human services providers.
House Finance Chair, Neal Kurk (R-Weare), has pointed out a
number of important points that clearly shows how ill advised the
governors veto was.
The budget appropriates $11.352 billion in total funds for
the next biennium, an increase of 5 percent from the current
biennium.
Dedicated funds were not raided in the process.
The community college system would have been fully funded
allowing them to freeze tuition for the next biennium; USNH
would have seen an increase in funds.
Health and Human Services would have received higher
funding in this budget than in any previous one - $4.449 billion,
up 8 percent from the current budget. Additionally, funding
would have been restored for elderly services, including meals
on wheels, services for veterans, the developmentally disabled,
and the mentally ill, with the latter at levels meeting the
requirements of a legal settlement.
The nearly 40,000 people served by the expanded Medicaid
program will continue to receive their 100 percent federally
funded health coverage through Dec. 31, 2016, as provided for
in current law.
Funding for substance abuse prevention and treatment would
have been increased by 49.5 percent, to $42.3 million.

A 5 percent rate increase would have
been granted to providers of long-term care in
the community.

Transportation department services
would have been funded at $1.172 billion, an
increase of 8 percent in the current budget.

The Department of Safety would have
Hudson, NH
seen a 9 percent increase in its budget, largely
through the substitution of general funds for
highway funds.

The Fish and Game fund would have
received a $1.2 million infusion from the general
fund.
I outlined many more examples in my letter to
the governor.

The Fox Always Gives You Something


Controversial to Think About
Much has happened in the little forest
called Hudson.
Weather Whys author Joe DAleo
this week points out historical facts on
how the weather has affected moods
and personalities. The Fox has decided,
based on the data that he shouldnt
ever go to Hudson Board of Selectmens
meetings on a rainy day.
The announcement that Hudson Fire
Department has served our community
for 123 years was met with this question,
What would the fire guys
be planning to celebrate
their 125th year in 2017?
Our town certainly
could use a parade and
a celebration, maybe red
trucks from other towns
could come. The chief
says that the party bell
is yours to ring, Captain

There are 160 democratic state representatives and 10 democratic


state senators who very much want to address the needs of our
citizens, as do members of the majority party. This was clearly
illustrated when most of minority party supported the continuing
resolution. That vote was necessary to address the governors
veto threat so that the people of New Hampshire would not suffer
through a shutdown of state government.
As I wrote to the governor, The cleanest and clearest path forward
for you would be to politically free all 170 colleagues from across
the aisle, allowing them to vote their conscience on veto day. We
remain confident that the many issues listed in my letter are mutual
concerns to us all. In fact, if it were not for the governors veto, we
would have a state budget in place today.
I have called upon the governor to provide us with her thoughts
as to the best way to address this issue. None of Gov. Hassans
concerns are of such a critical nature that they could not be
addressed in the next legislative session.
The governors argument over the 21 million dollar business tax
cut issue pales in the face of the systemic stresses placed on our
service providers, the neediest in our society, and the employees of
New Hampshire when she chose to veto the budget. It has proved
to be the most harmful of the three choices that were presented to
her, i.e., sign, veto, or let the budget become law without signature.
It is incumbent upon us as leaders to evaluate the impact of the
decisions we make, apply what we have learned from the results of
those decisions, and consider a new course of action. I encourage
the governor to consider the current circumstances and the impact
of not having a 2016-17 FY plan that addresses the many important
concerns for the functioning of our state. I call upon her to free
the 170 democratic legislators, allowing them to vote to follow the
clearest and quickest path for a sound, pragmatic solution, which
would be to override her veto of the budget.

the
when, is it first come first served?
One last thought this week: the Board of Selectmen
during the last several meetings has spoken of different
rules and regulations, like, the use of town water for
sprinkler systems on lawns and the requirement of oddeven days only, when can commercial trucks travel on
town roads and of course the every year predicament
that fireworks are illegal to possess in Hudson. While
it seems that there is confusion on enforcement such as
the statement by the town administrator that there are no
water police, it seems there are also no fireworks police
and trucks can roll at any time except on Greeley Street.
The Fox, of course, is a free thinker, doesnt want us to
become overly taxed on enforcing things that might or
might not be important but the question arises, What good
is a rule if it can just be broken and are our rules made to
be broken? Marcus Tullius Cicero, a 5th century Roman
orator, wrote The good of the people is the greatest law.

Kurds and druze Threatened
The conflicts in Syria have increased the complexity
of the Middle East and exacerbated the instability in the
region. Terrorists have taken advantage of the instability,
and have made dramatic territorial gains in Syria and
Iraq. They now threaten two minorities - Kurds and
Druze.
The Kurds, who are non-Muslims, are starting to
receive military aid from the U.S., and this should be
increased since they are trustworthy and reliable fighters
willing to take on ISIS and other terrorist groups. We
should send equipment and supplies directly to the
Kurds and not through the Iraqi Army.
The Druze minority, a Muslim off-shoot sect, is
threatened by ISIS and al-Nusra. There are 800,000
Druze in Syria with most of them living in the southern
province of Sweida, which is near the Israeli border.
Israel, which is home to 125,000 Druze who are
deeply assimilated into the Israeli military and Israeli
society, cannot allow the Druze of southern Syria to be
decimated and possibly suffer genocide. Israel should
provide a safe Syrian territory for the Druze and equip
them so they can defend themselves. If necessary, Israel
should provide direct military intervention to protect
the Druze of Southern Syria.

Hillary will Fight


for All of us
Hillary Clinton continues to spread her message of
being a champion for everyday Americans throughout
New Hampshire. She interacted with hundreds
of voters on her way through New Hampshire on
Monday, June 15. Her final stop of the day was the
Manchester City Democrats Flag Day Dinner. I was
fortunate enough to both hear Hillary Clinton speak
at the dinner, as well as meet her before she spoke. As
a Hillary Clinton supporter, I was extremely grateful
to be able to meet her. She touched upon many topics
that resonated with me.
Much like in her campaign launch speech, Hillary
spoke about the shame and blame rhetoric that some
Republican candidates have used to discuss womens
issues. Hillary has always been a champion for women
and girls - something that means a lot to me. She is
listening to the people of New Hampshire and listening
to what is important. After hearing Hillary speak in
Manchester, it was quite clear to me that Hillary is
ready to fight for all of us.

In a statement, Cochrane listed successes at
the district under his leadership, Much has
been accomplished in the schools and district,
with some of the more noteworthy including
the negotiation and approval of a new threeyear teacher contract, enhanced school access
control to provide greater security for students
and staff, rebuilding our technology infrastructure
and improving our smart classroom technology
allowing us to better utilize digital learning
resources in classrooms, said Cochrane. Next
year the district is also scheduled to pilot a

student information system. Over the last three
years, Campbell High School in particular has
seen significant improvements in academic
achievement with the most recent state assessment

results showing the schools best results ever in


each of reading, writing, math and science. SAT
scores have also increased significantly with
the last two years of reading and writing scores
showing double digit increases over prior years.
Advanced Placement exam results have also
trended up with increases in student participation,
average score and the percentages of students
scoring three or higher and four or higher on their
exams. The high school has also maintained a
very low dropout rate during this time.
The Litchfield School Board has 170 employees

Hudson BOS oppose Kinder Morgan Pipeline


by Kaela Law
Hudson Board of Selectman Chair Richard Maddox introduced
Kinder Morgan representatives Michael Lennon and Lucas Meyer
to a crowd of area residents at a special town hall meeting on June
16. Lennon and Meyer were there to provide information and
answer questions regarding their Northeast Energy Direct pipeline
proposition.
Were having this meeting, Maddox announced, to allow the
selectmen to decide what they want for this project, whether to
support or oppose.
Other towns along the proposed route have already passed
warrant article resolutions against this pipeline. Selectmen and
Town Administrators from Mason, Brookline, Pelham, Litchfield and
8 other towns have banded together to form the New Hampshire
Municipal Pipeline Coalition. They have collectively hired Richard
Kanuff as their attorney to represent them in fighting this pipeline.
Kanuff also represents a group called Pipeline Awareness Network
for the Northeast, which has been intervening in the Public Utilities
Commission docket #14-380. The New Hampshire Public Utilities
Commission is in place to ensure that customers of regulated utilities
receive safe, adequate and reliable service at just and reasonable
rates. Kanuff, as well as a Public Utilities Commission staffer and
the Office of Consumer Advocates have each given testimony in
docket #14-380, in which Londonderry-based Liberty Utilities is
seeking approval to sign a 20 year precedent agreement for capacity
on the proposed Northeast Energy Direct pipeline. The testimonies
were made independent of each other but each were statements
advising against approval of this contract because the risk to present
ratepayers would be too great. Despite these expert testimonies, the
Public Utilities Commission has signed off on the agreement to allow
Liberty Utilities to buy space on the proposed pipeline. The final
ruling will be made on July 22 after a formal hearing.
This is not okay, according to Pelham/Windham Pipeline
Awareness. We would like the commission to heed the advice of
their staff member and consumer advocate.
At the Hudson special town hall meeting, the pending contract
with Liberty Utilities was stated as one of the reasons this pipeline
route is now proposed to cross Southern New Hampshire to end in
Massachusetts where before it ran straight through Massachusetts
the entire way. Lucas Meyer of Kinder Morgan said, This is market
driven. This is what the region is saying they need.

Chairman Maddox questioned the route since only 5 percent


of the gas would be for New Hampshire consumption. He was
answered by Meyer that, We are a power grid for New England.
Texas is the only state that has its own power grid. Ten percent
of this pipeline is going directly [pending] into New Hampshire
through Liberty Utilities. If we want to have competitive rates
were going to need natural gas. BAE Systems [in Hudson] is at a
competitive disadvantage. They need to figure out a way to lower
their energy bill to compete on a national level.
There was not a representative from BAE Systems in attendance at
the meeting.
Another reason stated for the routing through New Hampshire was
that Kinder Morgan is hoping to theoretically co-locate along the
existing power line utility ROW (right of way) easements of National
Grid and Eversource.
A resident of Pelham asked the Kinder Morgan reps if they did, in
fact, have an agreement to co-locate their pipeline as they said they
did during their presentation.
Michael Lennon of Kinder Morgan answered no. We do not
have an agreement, Lennon stated.
The Pelham resident followed up his question with a suggestion to
Chairman Maddox, to send these meeting minutes to FERC (Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission governmental agency which will
either authorize or deny this pipeline project) and the SEC (New
Hampshire Site Evaluation Committee), asking that the powerline
expansion project and the pipeline project be delayed until there is a
coordination of both.
The powerline expansion project is called the Merrimack Valley
Reliability Project. It would see a new set of towers carrying a
345 kv line within the existing row. Siting a natural gas pipeline in
close proximity to high current overhead transmission lines presents
further engineering and safety concerns regarding pipe corrosion, as
well as concerns by the residents who live along the utility easement
about the number of years for large scale construction projects.
Lennon said, We are only in consultation with [National Grid
and Eversouce]. We would be starting up as they are finishing. If
we dont have a formal agreement in the fall, then we wouldnt file.
Kinder Morgan is planning to file with the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission in November, 2015.
Another element, seemingly missing from Kinder Morgans
pipeline proposal is a gas fired power plant. At this time, there

Rodgers Memorial Library Kicks


Off Summer Reading Program
submitted by Rodgers Memorial Library
Every Hero Has a Story is in full swing! The Rodgers Memorial Library launched its 2015 Summer
Reading program on June 26 with a kickoff barbeque and family concert with Steve Blunt and Friends.
About 200 kids, parents, relatives, and friends attended on a lovely Friday evening for this first-ever library
event. This was a team effort, said Library Director Charlie Matthews, made possible with generous
contributions of food and funding from Eastern Propane, John and Mary Ann Knowles, and the GFWC
Hudson Community and Juniors Clubs. The Hudson-Litchfield Rotary Club provided grills and chefs,
with assistance from the Hudson Lions and the Friends of the Library. The Friends also provided the tent
for performers and freshly baked cookies for all, and the Hudson Sustainability Committee loaned their
pop-up tents for the servers.
The library offers three Summer Reading Programs: Every Hero Has a Story for children up to age 12,
our teen summer reading program Hero or Villain? and Pages for Prizes for adults. The librarys Free

have not been any power plants to seek capacity from this pipeline.
Lennon stated the company is still actively seeking customers.
Jodi Hardcastle, a resident of Hudson and directly affected
property owner, came to the meeting with research in hand
showing solid numbers presented by the ISO-NE and the EIA, both
independent energy companies, that New Hampshire electricity
prices are below the national average and that New Englands
electricity use or demand is forecasted to grow only 1 percent
annually over the next decade. With energy-efficiency factored in,
that number drops to 0.1 percent. This sounds that actually we are
not as power hungry as we used to be, Hardcastle said.
By meetings end, the Hudson Board of Selectmen agreed that
they had all gathered a lot of new information that they didnt have
previously, and would need more time to deliberate before any final
decisions were made regarding whether to oppose the project or
support it, and where to go from that decision.
On June 23, the Board of Selectmen officially opposed Kinder
Morgans Northeast Energy Direct pipeline project. There are
twenty-one pipeline projects to the Northeast in the works and
I dont think we should jump on the first one that comes along,
Maddox addressed the board.
I was taken aback by their reference to BAE Systems, which was a
veiled threat at best, Selectmen Coutu stated.
Selectmen McGrath gave input that, As a former employee of
BAE Systems, I certainly cant speak for the company, but for the
more than twenty years that I worked there and for the years prior
to that when they first came to Hudson and built the facilities in
my estimation and to my understanding they have been devoted to
the town of Hudson and remaining in the town of Hudson. I took
exception to [the Kinder Morgan representatives] comments about
BAE as well. Im in a position to take a vote that we dont want, nor
do we need, the Kinder Morgan project in the town of Hudson. A
motion that was seconded.
Further discussion from the Board surrounding specific wording
that would go into their formal correspondence to FERC issued
statements from Maddox to the effect that, The Hudson Board of
Selectmen is strongly in favor of increasing our energy supply in
both availability and pricing to benefit more businesses in coming to
the town and region, but the Kinder Morgan project is too excessive.
Based on the citizens testimony, based on all the information that
we have acquired, this is not the best project for the area.

Porn Charges Brought Against


Hudson Teen
submitted by Hudson Police Department
On Friday, June 16, Louis Pilat, 18, of Hudson, turned himself in on an active Hudson Police
Department arrest warrant. Pilat is being charged with four counts of Distribution of Child
Pornography, one count of Manufacturing of Child Pornography, one count of Possession of Child
Pornography, and one count of Certain Uses of Computer Services Prohibited. All charges are Class A
Felonies.
Pilats arrest is the culmination of a month-long Hudson Police investigation. The Hudson Police
Criminal Investigative Division began its investigation after the receipt of several tips involving the
uploading of contraband images to public internet servers. Hudson Police Department was assisted
with this investigation by New Hampshire Internet Crimes Against Children Taskforce members from
the Police Departments of Portsmouth, Bedford, Salem, Manchester, Derry, Amherst, Nashua, and
US Homeland Security Investigations. The investigation is ongoing, but at this time it appears that no
children from the local area are involved.
Pilat was released on $50,000 personal recognizance bail and will be arraigned at the Nashua 9th
Circuit Court on August 6.

Just arriving were the Giovanditto family. The boys were looking for burgers.

Seeley Tabbed as Head Coach for 2015-16 Season

4 column

Former Captain Richard Seeley returns to the Jungle as Manchester Monarchs Head Coach
submitted by Mackenzie Fraser
The Manchester Monarchs are proud to announce that former
captain Richard Seeley will return to Manchester as head coach of
the Monarchs for the 2015-16 season. Seeley was a Monarchs twotime captain and played four seasons in Manchester (2001-2004,
2005-06) during his professional career.
Seeley, 36 (April 30, 1979), will lead the way behind the bench in
Manchesters first season in the ECHL. He was the second captain
in team history and played in 249 games with the Monarchs from
2001-06. Seeley was extremely active in the Manchester community
as a two-time nominee for the AHLs Man of the Year award for
outstanding community service.

Richard Seeley is one of the most popular players in Monarchs


franchise history, commented Monarchs President Matt Welch. As
a year-round resident of New Hampshire, he is the perfect choice to
lead our franchise as we make our transition to the ECHL. We are
extremely confident he will run a successful, first-class team both on
and off the ice.
Seeley brings 15 years of professional playing experience to the
job, including seven in the American Hockey League, three in the
Western Hockey League and five abroad in the United Kingdom,
Germany and Austria. He was selected as the 137th overall pick
(6th Round) of the 1997 NHL Draft by the LA Kings and is excited to
be rejoining the Monarchs organization.

Obituaries

I am very excited for the opportunity to take over the head


coaching position of the Manchester Monarchs, said Seeley. I
fondly remember playing in front of the passionate fans in the
Verizon Wireless Arena and I am committed to carrying on the
winning tradition established here in Manchester.
Seeley and the Monarchs will kick off their season on Oct. 16
at 7 p.m. as the Monarchs host the Brampton Beast at the Verizon
Wireless Arena. Individual-game tickets for Opening Night go on
sale to the public on Oct. 1 at 9 a.m.

Weather Whys and Climate Wise


Weather and Your Health
by Joseph DAleo, Certified Consulting
Meteorologist (CCM)
Since ancient times people have made a
connection between weather and health.
Hippocrates first wrote about the affect of hot
and cold winds on people, and the possible
connection between epidemics and weather
conditions in 400 BC. These ideas were further
developed by herbalists in the Middle Ages,
who prescribed specific plants for use during
the different winds. Many of these ideas were
discarded as folk medicine with the rise of
empirical science. Centuries later though,
medical experiments led to a revived interest in
the connection between weather and health.
In 1877, S. Weir Mitchell, a Philadelphia doctor,
wrote an article in the prestigious American
Journal of Medical Sciences on The Relation of
Pain to Weather. The article related the onset
and degree of pain recorded in a log by a Union
Captain, whose leg had been amputated after a
Civil War injury, to local weather conditions. He
observed that the pain began as pressures fell
and humidity and temperatures rose, conditions
usually associated with an approaching storm. He
noted the pain continued until the pressure began
to rise and humidity began to fall as the storm
departed.
Seventy years later in Germany, another very
similar study confirmed this relationship and really
kick-started Biometeorology, a new science that
studied the effect of weather on life (health).
The pain and weather relationship has since
been advanced from additional research,
which established relationships between many
ailments, performance and behavior and
weather conditions. The Germans have taken a
world lead in this new discipline. The German
meteorological service for years now have
provided daily advisories to hospitals, doctors
and clinics in Germany and to the public on the
web (biowetter) on which ailments are likely to be
aggravated due to expected weather conditions.
In this country, the principle proponent of the
science of Biometeorology was the late Helmut
Landsberg, father of modern Climatology and
author of the landmark book Weather and
Health, An Introduction to Biometeorology
(Doubleday 1969). I had the good fortune to
communicate with Dr. Landsberg numerous
times while at The Weather Channel when we
developed a weather and health feature.

On a hot and humid day in a school with no air


conditioning, it may not be a good day to start a
new topic. It may be better to show a movie that
day and leave the new subject to another day.
Moods
Weather affects how we feel every day. Bright
sunshine, comfortable temperatures and low
humidity give the greatest positive boost to our
moods. This is especially true if the weather had
been gray and dreary.
On the other hand, our moods turn sour, we
become edgy, restless and more likely to be
pessimistic even depressed when dark, dreary
stormy weather persists.
In our latitudes, the long nights, persistent
overcast and frequent storms of late fall and early
winter cause a more continuous mood disorder.
Many people dislike the dark mornings and short
days. Some have more severe bouts of feeling
down, low energy and reduced concentration to
the point where they have difficulty functioning at
work or in the home. This disorder is called SAD
or Seasonal Affective Disorder. During the spring
and summer, these people feel well and normal.
The problems partly stem from the lack of
bright light in winter. It is not a psychosomatic or
imaginary illness. Researchers have proved that
light makes a difference to the brain chemistry.
For those who suffer from this disorder, one
prescribed solution is light therapy. A bright or
fluorescent light for a few hours in the morning
reduces winter depression symptoms, perhaps
by reducing the level of the neurotransmitter
melatonin, normally present at night (production
and release in part triggered by low light levels).
In future stories, we will outline some other,
in some cases surprising weather and people
connections.

Weather Whys

Here are just a few connections, you might find


interesting and the knowledge perhaps useful.

hospital admissions. Parents should make sure


their children with asthma have their inhalers with
them when they wait for the school bus or walk to
school on those first blustery and cold mornings.
Reflexes/Reaction Times
Reaction times are best with high and
rising pressure, clear skies and comfortable
temperatures. Reaction times (reflexes) are slowed
by low or falling pressure, stormy conditions, and
extremes of temperatures. This increases the risk
of accidents for operators of automobiles and
other mechanical equipment. These conditions
can also affect the performance of sports teams.
Attentiveness/Mental Alertness
Mental function is best during times of relatively
high pressure, comfortable temperatures and
humidities. Mental alertness is generally impaired
when atmospheric conditions put a stress on the
body (extremes of heat or cold). You tend to make
more mistakes and the quality of work diminishes
when the environment is uncomfortable.
Attentiveness in school likewise can be tied
to the weather. Days with uncomfortably high
temperatures and humidity produce increased
restlessness in the classroom, poorer performance
on tests and increases in disciplinary problems.

Aches and Pains


Weather sensitive individuals with pain
ailments such as arthritis can have those ailments
aggravated by the weather. Damp and chilly
weather, rising humidity and rapidly falling
barometric pressure produces the greatest effects.
These conditions are observed to cause a
swelling of the fluids that lubricate the joints.
This then offers more resistance to movement
and increases the pains in those joints already
compromised.
Respiratory Distress
Weather sensitive individuals with chronic
respiratory ailments like emphysema and
bronchial asthma can be acutely impacted by
certain weather conditions. In addition to the
increasingly rare (in this country) air pollution
episodes, respiratory distress is greatest during
sudden cold outbreaks with much below normal
temperatures, strong and gusty winds, and rapidly
rising pressures.
The first such cold outbreaks seem to have
the greatest affect, with the largest increase in

from inspiring obvious future

Thumbs down to fireworks


parents. Yes fireworks are legal
now, but unethical and barbaric.
At one time, owning people was legal. If you are
grateful that your graduate is so smart and can
see beyond [our] selfishness of wanting quiet
enjoyment of our home, perhaps you both need
further education in ethics, and then you can ask
the question Who is selfish? Maintaining the
health of the community is the responsibility of
every resident.

Thumbs up to all the volunteers, vendors,


fire and police departments that supported the
Litchfield Presbyterian Annual Strawberry Festival.
You guys put in an amazing amount of time and
effort to make this event a great success! Thank
you all so much.

WE WORK ON ALL TYPES OF HEATING EQUIPMENT!

Thumbs down to carelessness


around fireworks, being under the
influence when lighting these can
be dangerous. Damaging others
property trees and homes. Who is
at fault if my property is damaged,
by fireworks? Its a shame
Hudson doesnt have a place to
watch them, or set them off in
a public place with appropriate
supervision. Be careful, safe and
respectful clean up your mess
after your firework display.

Thumbs down. The Fourth of July fireworks


used to occur on the fourth of July. Now Tuesday
is an excuse to blow things up. Were not asking
to ban the annual celebration. But how about
lowering the loudness of the kabooms that go off
every single day? Why not get prettier but quieter
fireworks? Terrorizing pets, waking children and
scaring the veterans are not a right. If youre tired
of the increasing noise and want it to just quiet
down, join us at fb.com/groups/NHNoise.

by Tom Tollefson
On Saturday June 27, the eighth annual Strawberry Festival,
run by Litchfield Presbyterian Church, brought the community
together for fruitful festivities that support a cause. The event served
as a fundraiser for Litchfield Presbyterian Church, which covers
the upkeep of the church building, helps those in need in the
community, and runs the Litchfield Food Pantry (run by the church).
Were working on new visibility in the community to let people
know were here if they need us, Christie Marsden, church deacon
and coordinator of the event.
The largest draw of the event was the ever popular sale of fruity
food items such as strawberry cheese cake, strawberry short cake,
and strawberry waffles in addition to brownies and other baked
goods. The activities for the day included karate demonstrations
from Granite State Karate in Hudson, crafts, candy, food, music by
local musician Del Stephens from Hudson, childrens games, and a
raffle.
We had a wonderful time doing this event. Its more than just
a fundraiser, its a chance to give back to the community, said
Litchfield Presbyterian Church deacon Betty Scofield.

FERC Scoping
by Kaela Law
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission is the government
agency which will either approve Kinder Morgans Northeast Energy
Direct pipeline project or deny it.
On Wednesday, July 29, at 6:30 p.m. FERC will be holding a
Public Scoping Meeting at the Nashua Radisson. 11 Tara Blvd.,
Nashua.
On Thursday, July 30, at 6:30 p.m., FERC will be holding a Public
Scoping Meeting at the Milford Town Hall, One Union Square,
Milford.
A third New Hampshire Public Scoping Meeting will be
announced at a future date but is probably going to be held in
Winchester.
The public is invited to these meetings to provide both written
and oral input regarding the pipeline project. According to FERC,
Your comments should focus on the potential environmental
effects, reasonable alternatives, and measures to avoid or lessen
environmental impacts.
If this project receives approval, FERC will issue a certificate of
Public Convenience and Necessity to Kinder Morgan, as well as to
set reasonable terms and conditions to any certificate issued to
allow Kinder Morgan operation in the state. Public Convenience
and Necessity is a vague standard for determining whether a project
should be authorized, according to James H. McGrew, author of
FERC: Federal Energy Regulatory Commission Basic Practice Series.
Section 7c provides that applicants for a certificate are entitled to
a hearing. However, in recent years, FERC has grown increasingly
reluctant to set certificate applications for hearings with opportunity
for cross-examination of witnesses. Instead, FERC conducts paper
hearings, in which it examines the documents filed with the
Secretarys office that constitute the record on which FERC bases

its decision.
Since January, residents in New Hampshire have been filing
comments to the FERC paper hearings regarding the Kinder Morgan
Northeast Energy Direct project. To date over 3,000 comments
have been submitted. Massachusetts accounts for 1,151 of those
comments and New Hampshire is responsible for 1,135. Of those,
only three comments are in support of this project. The town of
Pelham has the highest number of Deny Survey Access paper
forms filed with FERC, largely owing to the fact that Pelham has
the highest number of affected property owners by this project in a
single New Hampshire town.
One recent FERC filing came from Marilyn Learner of Hollis. The
pipeline no longer crosses Hollis in Kinder Morgans plans yet many
residents remain steadfast in their opposition. Scoping meetings
are about where the pipeline should go, Learner writes, not if the
pipeline should be built. She calls the FERC process flawed and
calls for a moratorium on the process and decisions until those
processes are reviewed and made appropriately relevant to our 21st
century energy and environmental goals, for the present and the
future ... The FERC approval process is out-of-date and encumbered
with many procedural steps to appear diligent.
Learners sentiments that FERC is just going through the motions
are shared by a number of pipeline opponents. Although neither
opponent nor proponent at this time, Senator Jeanne Shaheen
wrote a FERC comment for the paper record suggesting that FERC
holds a scoping meeting in any town that requests one. Pelham is
one of a handful of towns that requested a scoping meeting and is
not receiving one. In this case it would appear that the agency is
scheduling and performing minimal requirements before issuing a
certificate.
Another recent FERC filing from Kathy Chapman of Mason states

that the capacity of the Milford Town Hall is 500. The capacity of
the largest meeting room at the Nashua Radisson is 1,000. These
meetings are held on consecutive nights the last week in July.
The scoping meetings begin at 6:30 p.m. and the halls have been
reserved until 11 p.m. If each and every minute were devoted to
attendee comments, and each comment lasted approximately three
minutes, only 70 people can speak.
If the paper hearing comments to date are any indication, the
Nashua Radisson and the Milford Town Hall will host well over 70
individuals wishing to comment since this is one of New Hampshire
citizens only opportunities to verbally express their interest
favorably or unfavorably with this project.
At the Kinder Morgan Open House meeting in Hudson earlier
this year, a table was set aside for FERC representatives to provide
information regarding their processes. Windham resident Gail
Gumbel spent the evening talking with FERC representatives
to learn more about their processes. When Gumbel asked, the
representatives from FERC could only site two specific case
numbers for pipeline projects that the agency has ever denied. They
quoted her 30 percent of the projects become unprofitable for the
companies and so the companies themselves pull their applications.
The Northeast Energy Direct is a perfect example of a pipeline
that should not be approved,
Learner writes, and would
not be approved, if FERCs
approval process accurately
and impartially assessed public
need, public interest, public
health consequences and
regional energy policies and
goals.

This event is a lot of fun since it incorporates two of

the rocket, they will bring them to the launch area,
where they will be loaded with propellant, water, and
then mounted on the launch platform. By pulling the

string, theyll launch their
rocket into the blue for a
short mission.

Hudson 11U All-Stars Kick off Summer Schedule

submitted by Charles A. Huggins


With school coming to an end and the final pitch of the spring season being thrown the boys (and girl) of
summer are ready to take on the best the state has to offer. The Hudson 11U team will compete in several
tournaments this summer in scenic locals such as Londonderry, Rochester and West Newbury, Mass. They have
already hit the field in a tournament at the LAFA Complex in Londonderry. After a disappointing loss to the
defending state champs from the Seacoast region they bounced back with impressive wins over Londonderry and
Bedford.
The Londonderry game was highlighted by the pitching of Brady Simard. He struck out nine batters over three
innings allowing only one hit and no walks. He was followed to the mound by Tommy Tierney who struck out
four in his two-inning of work and did not allow a base runner. The hit parade was led by Josh MacDonald who
had two hits and four RBI powered by a two-run home run in the first inning. Jake Dufour and Xavier Santana
also had two hits with Dominic Willard, Anthony Santos, Richie Thibeault and Tierney each picking up one hit.
In the Bedford game MacDonald kept his hot hitting going as he rapped three hits and grabbed three more
RBI. He was also the star on the mound going the distance while striking out six. Quintin Perillo fresh off a
broken nose in the Londonderry game came back with authority as he missed a home run by about 2 inches and
settled for a double, he also was outstanding at third base defensively. Simard, Tierney, Dufour and Thibeault all
collected hits along with Xavier Santana, who added two hits and three RBI. It was a hot nasty, sticky night and
I would be remiss if I didnt acknowledge Mitchell Wong who caught the entire game and was a wall behind the
plate.

The Hudson 8-and-under summer travel baseball
team took home the championship trophy on Tuesday,
June 30, at the 11th Annual Summer Classic tournament
in Tyngsborough. The boys ran the table during the
tournament, defeating Dracut East (9-1), Lowell PYO (72), Londonderry twice (7-5 and 5-4), Methuen (11-8), and
finally the host team Tyngsboro (8-3) in the championship
game. The team, guided by Head Coach Mike Laroe and
assistants Ian Opie Nickerson and Mike Geiger, was
bolstered by great fan support throughout the tournament,
and a passionate and dedicated group of parents.
Against Dracut, the offense was led by Devin Smith and
Charlie Chaz Crawford, who both had inside-the-park
homeruns with the popular bright orange Mako bats.
The Londonderry games were both tough battles, with the
first one ending on a great play by second baseman Brett
Nails McKinnon and first baseman Brady Nickerson.
In the championship game against Tyngsboro, the team
broke the game open by scoring five runs in the third
inning, sparked by a big hit from James Nemeth. Gabe

C-Bass Conrow closed out his third straight game with


two strong innings in relief.
Kyle Dufour was a big contributor throughout the
tournament, with solid pitching and big hitting, highlighted
by a long blast that rolled to the fence to put the game
away against Tyngsboro. Colton Beast Laroe showed
significant improvement at the plate throughout the
tournament. Max Maximus Francisco provided his
usual solid defense and hitting from the number 2 hole.
Derek Belanger was all over the place, with consistent
hitting, great catching and the outfield catch of tournament
against Tyngsboro to stop a potential rally. Dante Pirrotta
provided strong outfield defense and an improving bat. D.
J. Moose Thibeault consistently knocked in runs in key
situations, and was a solid defensive presence both behind
the plate and at first base.
The team is currently playing in another tournament in
West Newbury, Mass., and is working towards finishing
the summer season at the state tournament in Rochester,
starting on July 25.
