Pat Jewett is the Heart and Soul
of Litchfield

Even if youre on the right track,

there, Pat Jewett quipped in her
speech as she was lauded at the
first annual Pat Jewett Volunteer
Appreciation Day on Sunday,

Litchfield. Following
the awards ceremony,
a dinner in Pats
honor was held in
the cafeteria, with
proceeds to help

What Happens if the Counting

Machine doesnt Work?
Moderator Paul Inderbitzen compares the machines tabulation

with the data he put on the sample ballots for the test.
by Len Lathrop
Of course, we all know that answer. If necessary, the moderator, town clerk,
selectmen and ballot clerks will count all the votes by hand, one ballot at a time.
No results are calculated by the rock, paper, scissors method.
Hopefully, it will not come to ballot-by-ballot hand counting on March the
10th. Lets look at what happens before the polls can open on that day at 7 a.m.
Everyone can guess the ballots have been printed, and we wont even go into the
absentee operations, except to say if you havent asked for one by now, you best
show up at the polls for your choices to be counted.
On Monday morning, eight days before the election, Hudson Town Clerk Patti
Barry and Hudson Moderator Paul Inderbitzen are busy testing the counting
machines. Prior to this and before each election, another firm has checked
each machine to be sure there is no data from the prior election in the machine
and that they have programmed the card with the names of the candidates
for each office and the warrant questions that were finalized at the deliberative
session about a month ago. Hudson has five of these machines and --for the
record-- they are kept in the safe in the town clerks office. Now who would you
want to tamper with a machine for a job you do for free: a volunteer or a paid
$8-a-day Hudson selectman?
But, back to the process, the test ballots that Inderbitzen has marked --two for
town questions (the white ones) and one for the school district (the yellow one)-are fed into each machine four times. So lets do the math: three ballots each
with two sides each four times. Lets not go there. Paul has been the moderator
for seven years and has spent over a week setting up this test. But somehow

by Tom Tollefson
Once again its time for Hudson to rock the vote. Many
dedicated citizens will make their way to the polls at the
Hudson Community Center to be a voice for the town and
cast their ballots toward decisions that will shape their
community. Here are the candidates that will give residents
their voice.
Selectman (six candidates running for two three-year
terms as selectmen):
Randy Brownrigg is a 20-year Hudson resident who
has raised three children in this community. Brownrigg
has served on the budget committee and conservation
commission and was a state representative from 2010-2012.
He also served in the U.S. Navy for 20 years. During his
time in the navy, he took on many challenges on different
ships and posts that would call for his attention to detail and
leadership. His focus for improvement in Hudson is better
listening to what people have to say and what their concerns
are in town.
Richard Kahn is running in his fourth campaign for
selectman and states that the only difference this time around
is his age. He still has five campaign goals and objectives
as follows: accountability, transparency, fiscal restraint, civil
liberties, and creation of a business-friendly climate. Kahn
has served on the Friends of Benson Park and Old Home
Days committees and owns Kahn Landscaping.

Ted Luszey has been a resident for 30 years. Luszey
has been on the Hudson Board of Selectmen, as well as
the budget, recycling, conservation, facilities, and solid
waste committees. He wants to improve the infrastructure
in Hudson when the opportunities arise in a cost-effective
manner.
Normand Martin, who has lived in Hudson for the past 13
years has served on the Zoning Board of Adjustment for the
past 10 years and on the budget committee. He believes in
change that will improve the way the town runs.
Lifelong resident Marilyn McGrath, currently an alternate
on the Zoning Board of Adjustment, served on the former
town council (participated in contract negotiations with
the unions), and has been on the planning board (served
as chairman in the 1980s). She also worked as a financial
analyst for BAE Systems for over 20 years and is recently
retired. She describes herself as being fiscally conservative
and not afraid to make big decisions that will help benefit the
town. One of her biggest concerns is the congested traffic on
Lowell and Derry roads. She stated that a solution will take a
concerted effort on the town and state level depending upon
funding because any corrections to those roadways will be
costly.

After Hudson adopted a unified school district in 1896, a number of local schoolhouses were purchased and converted into private
dwellings. Such was the case with the house shown in this 1956 photo.
The No. 6 (Farms District) schoolhouse was built in 1852 on what is now the vacant lot just north of 107 Derry St. and almost opposite
Hudson Hardware. By 1898 the schoolhouse was converted into a dwelling by Menzell French. It remained in the French family until
destroyed by fire in January 1980. For years this was the home of Harold and Maude French and family. Harold began the French

CHS Music Department Takes

a Trip to Nashville
Meet Greg OBrien
submitted by Jill Deleault

Over the February school vacation week, nearly 30 Campbell High School band and choir students
took part in a fun and educational trip to Nashville, Tenn. The outing to Music City USA was in
the works for months, with fundraisers and rehearsals galore. During the trip, students performed in
very rewarding music clinics with Dr. Dwayne Sagen and Dr. Tucker Biddlecombe, both of Vanderbilt
University. In addition, students toured the Country Music Hall of Fame, Andrew Jacksons Hermitage,
RCA Studio B, and many other Tennessee points of interest. Accompanying the students on the trip were
CHS music teacher Jill Deleault, CHS school nurse Rachel Baker, and two volunteer chaperones.

Letters to our Editor
Urging a Yes Vote on Article 6

I am writing this letter to express to the voters of Hudson
how important Hudson Warrant Article #6 is to the people
of Hudson. Warrant article 6 asks for the people of Hudson
to approve a contract for the Hudson Police, Fire and Town
supervisors Association. This association is made up of
supervisors from various town departments. The majority
of this association is Police and Fire supervisors. These are
experienced, professional and educated town employees, with
some having 30 years of service to the people of Hudson.
The association has not asked for above average wages, they
have agreed to an average compensation in an effort to keep
the tax impact as low as possible.
A yes vote on Article 6 will allow you to pay our public
safety supervisors an average wage for their continued
outstanding dedication to you.
The members of the Town of Hudson Police, Fire and
Town Supervisors Association thank you in advance for your
consideration on this issue. We join together with the Hudson
Board of Selectman and urge you to vote yes on Article 6.
John P. Beike, President, Hudson Police, Fire, Town
Supervisors Association
Litchfields Pat Jewett is a Marvel

On behalf of the Litchfield Womens Club, we would like
to offer our congratulations and gratitude to Pat Jewett on
her many achievements and contributions to the community
of Litchfield. In attending this past weekends Pat Jewett
Volunteer Appreciation Day ceremony, one couldnt help but
marvel at the significant difference one caring individual can
make in the course of a lifetime. Pat certainly has touched the
lives of countless individuals with her dedicated efforts to help
others.
For the past quarter-century, Pat has been a staunch
supporter of every activity that the Litchfield Womens Club
has been involved in. At the end of each community breakfast,
Pat could be counted on to gather up packaged breakfast fare
to personally deliver to families throughout town. She has
always been the clubs first line of contact to see how we might
help others in Litchfield, and the first in line as well to support
fundraising efforts, vying for raffle prizes and silent auction
items, each of which shed donate to others if she won.
Each year, the Litchfield Womens Club awards scholarships
to deserving graduates and have awarded well over $50,000
thus far. In 2014, the club created a new annual scholarship
in Pat Jewetts honor. This scholarship is awarded to the
individual who most exemplifies the very trait that Pat holds
most dear -- service to others.
We are so grateful for Pats many, many contributions to
our community. She is an integral part of what Litchfield is all
about and for that we are thankful.

BOS Supports Litchfields Town

Operating Budget
The Litchfield Budget Committee has sent to the voters
on the March 10 ballot for the town an appropriation of
$5,232,478 representing a 4.5% increase over the 2014 default
budget approved by the voters. Notable areas of increase are
spending of $119,376 for the voter approved Police Union
contract as well as the purchase of two, new Police cruisers
replacing worn out, high mileage vehicles. This will move the
Town back to the successful system of purchasing cruisers in
place several years ago. Additional appropriations were also
in the area of the Information Technology budget by $69,325
providing for the upkeep and maintenance of the towns
computer systems, $25,391 for employee benefits (health
insurance, Social Security, etc.) and an increase of $15,696 for
the Highway Department for maintenance and additional salt
purchases. The Budget Committee also took decreases in the
Selectmens draft budget for the purchase of gasoline, propane,
oil, welfare and consulting services. The Budget Committee
after much deliberation and discussion approved the 2015
budget unanimously.
The Board of Selectmen considers the Budget Committees
budget as presented to the voters to be a reasonable basis for

the running of our town. It is our belief that it will allow the
Selectmen the flexibility in addressing the expenses that we
expect to encounter in 2015 while ensuring that the taxes to
our citizens are maintained a low as possible. We support
the Budget Committees budget and have also unanimously
recommended their budget for adoption of the voters. We are
encouraging all voters to follow both the Budget Committee
and the Board of Selectmen and approve the budget warrant at
the March election.
John Brunelle, Litchfield Board of Selectmen
Bring a Rational Salary System to Town

On March 10, the citizens of Litchfield will have a decision
to make on Warrant Article 14 as to whether they will provide
their Town non-bargaining employees the opportunity to
begin moving to a wage plan that makes sense. In the past, the
Towns wage structure was composed of a system of grades with
eight steps in each grade. This system required that employees
only had to spend time in their grade before automatically
being promoted to the next step. It didnt matter on
performance, ability at their job or the knowledge they
possessed the promotion was simply tied to their time in grade.
The Selectmen would then ask for a cost of living increase
(COLA) that would be added to all non-bargaining employees
salary irrespective of their grade, step or merit performance. It
was the belief of the Selectmen that this process was inefficient,
unfair to both the employees and Litchfields citizens.
In 2013, the Selectmen voted to institute a system that
rewarding performance of employees for their work, knowledge
and effort; a merit performance based system. The Selectmen
undertook a study of the towns jobs for our non-bargaining
employees in order to arrange them into a rational system of
grades based upon duties and responsibilities. Unfortunately,
to get to this system, the many of our employees must be
moved in terms of salary. Warrant Article 14 commences
that process by starting the movement of employees whose
positional duties and responsibilities are grossly out of line with
their current salaries. This process will continue over several
years.
This system has been approved by the Selectmen
and presented to the Budget Committee who has voted
unanimously to support this effort. The Selectmen ask you to
also support this effort at bringing a rational salary system to
Litchfield.
On Tuesday, the 10th, your will have the opportunity to

be heard regarding the direction of our elected bodies. Like
you, I will get to choose amongst good people that have very
different ideas on what that entrusted position entails. When
you vote, do you expect that person to perform to the highest
of standards? Or do you simply assume they will? Do you
assume that because they are nice people, good friends, or
good neighbors that they believe what you do? Do you have
political conversations with them? Or do you subscribe
to the no talk of religion or politics philosophy as it is so
personal and possible divisive? Here is my point. This is a
political election. Although our local elections do not have
us identify ourselves by political party, you can be certain we
all have leanings toward one ideology or another across the
continuum, do we not? When you elect someone to represent
you, are you not looking for someone that shares your ideals?
Your understanding of the role of government? There is little
doubt in a small community like ours it is very likely we all
know each other to some level and we are all cordial, courteous
and overall like each other. How then are we to decide if
those that are running for a political office in a system that
does not require affiliation shares our own belief systems?
Unfortunately, you cant unless you have had those political
conversations or paid very close attention to the voting records
of those running. Please do your due diligence. Dont simply
take for granted someone elses opinion or perhaps your own
believing that your friend, neighbor or acquaintance has
your political belief system. I am Jason Guerrette, and am
asking for your vote. I am a traditional conservative running
against a self proclaimed Moderate and
a self proclaimed Liberal. Web address:
Jasonguerrette.info; LitchfieldVotes.com.
It is not often that I feel compelled to write an editorial.

However, your informed vote to this article is critical to a
vital tool that is used 24 hours a day everyday of the year. As
a voter, you are a stakeholder in the business of the Town of
Hudson. This warrant article is critical for the towns Public
Safety Departments; Police and Fire.
The Technology for this system was developed in 1999.
Our current communication system was put into service in
2004. The system has reached its end of life. In 2009, the
company stopped making repair parts. Think about it, how
many people have a car or a computer that was made in 1999.
These systems have to run 24 hours a day 365 days a year.
How much confidence would you have in your car if you left it
running since 2004?
The Fire Chief, IT Director, Board of Selectmen, and I have
spent the last three to four years studying this situation and
have determined that this is something we, as a community,
need to get behind and support.
The equipment that needs to be replaced is the equipment
that is utilized by both Police and Fire so that when you call
to use our services the information can be relayed to the police
officers or fire fighters in the field. This is the equipment
found inside each departments dispatch center. It is not
the radio towers, it is not the transmitters, and it is not the
receivers located around the town. This is just the equipment
in the dispatch centers.
The equipment is what the dispatcher uses to log the calls
for service as well as allows for two-way communication with
the emergency personnel in the field.
This is critical infrastructure needed to conduct the day-today operations of each department.
The total amount needed for the entire project is
approximately $350,000. Currently, we have a Capital Reserve
Jason Guerrette, Litchfield
nsed
Fund that puts $10,000 a year into an account so that someday

we will have money to purchase a new system. That fund only
has $20,000 in it. The vendor cannot repair breakdowns. This
warrant article would put $200,000 in this fund. It is a start to
resolving a serious problem. Please vote Yes in support of this
article to make sure our public safety people have the ability
to communicate and respond to your needs. Please vote in
support of Warrant Article 11.
Jason Lavoie, Chief, Hudson Police Department
Striving to Serve the People of Hudson

My name is Ted Luszey and I am announcing my candidacy
for Selectman. As a resident for more than 35 years, I have
been actively involved in our Town on many levels. My service
to Hudson began as a member of the Solid Waste Committee,
which has evolved into todays Sustainability Committee as
well as a six-year member of the Conservation Committee. In
addition, I was a member of the Budget Committee for more
than 16 years and am a past Selectman.
As a member of the Budget Committee I was instrumental
in implementing the vehicle replacement program currently
being used by the Town. I worked with the IT Department in
implementing the mobile communication equipment rotation
plan used by the Police Department to manage vehicle laptop
upgrades.
While serving as a Selectman, I worked with the Town
Department Heads and the Board of Selectman to implement
an automated Policy Document System for all policies and
procedures. Furthermore, I was appointed the liaison for our
seniors. In this role, I was chartered to work with our seniors
to design and build a Senior Center. I accomplished this
within the budget approved by the Board of Selectman and
within the timeframe committed.
Relative to current issues, like the proposed upgrade to
the Central Fire Station and building a replacement for the
Burns Hill Station, I dont think they are ready for primetime.
There are many questions that still need to be answered.
Like, for many years the Board of Selectman have agreed that
a significant cost saving can be realized by combining Fire
and Police Dispatch function. Space and non-compatible
equipment has been the reason for not proceeding with this
strategy. With the upgrade to the Central Station and a new
facility, no mention has been made if the strategy to combine
these two functions is part of the plan. If not, I would
question why not. And, why the Lowell Road location? The
Town owns land on Musquash Road where a new station could
be built. Was this investigated? And, should we go forward
with these two proposals as presented, whats next? Will we
be looking at a major renovation for the Robinson Road
station? The Town Hall? I hope I have demonstrated why
we need someone on the Board that will ask these questions
and work with the Department Heads and the Board to fully
vet proposals before the go to warrant. The taxpayer and
residents deserve that level of engagement from their elected
officials. And, for the record, I am in favor of fixing our aging
emergency response infrastructure in a responsible and cost
effect manner.
I hope this brief outline of my accomplishments while
serving the People of Hudson and my understanding of current
issues facing our Town demonstrates my commitment to
strive to improve the level of service for all our residents while
keeping our spending down.
I ask for your support and vote on March 10.
Ted Luszey, Hudson
Fix the Fire Stations in the Hudson Way

To the voters of Hudson, I am writing to ask for your
support for the two fire station warrant articles (Articles 2
and 9). During my time on the Board of Selectmen I have
asked many questions, squeezed every nickel, and hopefully
shown my willingness to say no when I thought no was the
way to vote. When a plan to build a new central fire station
came before the board several years ago, with a $6.4 million
price tag, I voted no. Articles 2 and 9, in my opinion, fix
the problem in the Hudson way. We will renovate, not
replace, the Lenny Smith Central Station and put a proven
design on Lowell Road for less than half of the $6.4 million
plan. I know there is no good time to raise taxes, I do not
want my taxes to go up either, but I/we need to put money
into our infrastructure. These two projects will increase the

As you head to the polls on March 10, please remember

this.
I am the number 1 conservative choice for school board! I
have studied the budget and the underlying laws that control
it, for the past three years.
I have a balanced education and experience as a Certified
Public Accountant, as well as a significant education in the
field of Psychology.
I have what it takes to work with the school department
to reduce and hopefully eliminate the gap in the standard test
scores, while keeping the budget at a reasonable level.
Personally, I successfully changed my score on the CPA
exam from 60s to 90s and feel what I have learned can help the
school district bring up the test scores of the students! I have
used what I learned about test taking and memorization to
help my own son learn and memorize.
I have the confidence and ability to suggest and implement
some well needed changes to make Hudson number1 in
education!
Please vote Peggy Huard for School Board on March 10.
The polls are open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Election is held at
the Hudson Community Center on 12 Lions Avenue.
Remind your friends and neighbors to vote. We have had
record low turnout over the past few years. There is too much
at stake to let such a small majority of this town come out and
vote and make the decisions for the rest of the town!

The Tax Return-Itemized Deductions
W.F.Boutin EA - Total Tax Solutions LLC
Taxpayers itemize their deductions in the hope of exceeding the

standard deduction allowed by the tax code for their particular filing
status. For every dollar that exceeds the standard deduction, the savings
realized is proportionate to the tax bracket they are in for their filing
status. Categories found on the SCH A, itemized deductions include:
Medical Expenses that exceed 7.5% of the AGI for taxpayers 65 or
older, all other taxpayers 10% of the AGI starting in 2013; certain Taxes
paid, such as state or local income taxes, foreign income taxes, general
sales tax (only if not claiming state and local taxes); real estate tax and
personal property tax which must be based upon the value of property
and charged on a yearly basis; qualified home mortgage Interest
including certain points paid, investment interest (limited to investment
income) and qualified mortgage insurance premiums; Charitable
Contributions by cash or check and contributions other than cash or
check.
(NOTE: The deduction of cash must have a bank record or written
communication from the charity. Contributions of property such as
clothing and household items must be in good used condition or
better.);
Non-Business Casualty and Theft Losses (subject to a $100 deductible
and 10% of the AGI); various Miscellaneous Deductions which fall into
two categories: those that are subject to 2% of the AGI before the first
dollar is realized such as employee/employment business expenses, tax
preparation fees, investment expenses, safe deposit boxes etc., and
deductions not subject to the 2% cap such as gambling losses (up to the
amount of winnings), impairment related work expenses and unrecovered investments in an annuity etc. There are many more allowed
deductions that fall into this miscellaneous category.
Most individuals do not succeed in itemizing deductions unless they
have the cost of home mortgage interest and real estate taxes.
Unless a taxpayer does not have medical insurance, or has a medical
catastrophe, most out of pocket expenses for medical do not exceed the
7.5% or 10% of AGI. (Pre-tax health insurance purchased through your
employer is not deductible since no taxes were paid on these premiums. We will discuss this further when we talk about employer
provided fringe benefit plans.)
The most understated deduction for taxpayers who do itemize is for
the donation of personal property such as clothing and home furnishings. Most taxpayers fill up trash bags of clothing and drop them off at
the nearest collection box when they go food shopping or visit their
town recycle center. We recommend that you prepare a detailed
description of the goods being donated. Then, drop these bags off at the
local thrift store; there you can receive a signed receipt for the
donation. When you return home, you can calculate the value of what
was donated. Many of these organizations have a donation valuation
guide attached to your signed receipt, listing the high and low end
value that they receive for this merchandise. (We have links at our
website that list various donation value guides)
Example: Childrens jeans have a value of $4.20 to $14.40 each. If
you included 3 pairs of jeans in your donation, which were in very
good condition, the deduction value is $27.90, $9.30 a pair which is
the average of the high to low end for that item.
We provide each of our clients who itemize a donation value guide
each tax season. A couple of bags donated throughout the year can add
up to $600 in additional deductions.

Derek Barka Asks for

Re-election to School Board
Norman Martin
Running for BOS
My name is Derek Barka and I am running

for re-election to the Litchfield School
Board. My wife, Becky, and I have lived in
town with our two children for 10 years. Id
like to thank the community for your support
as well as your feedback and engagement
over my three year term.
We are very fortunate to have great
schools in Litchfield. Over 80 percent of
our graduates go on to two or four year
colleges. I am continuously inspired by the
things I see our students doing - whether its
a first grader presenting to an audience using
the SmartBoard, a fourth grader filibustering
at the State House, an eighth grader giving a poised graduation speech, a
student explaining the code for his FIRST robot, a remarkable rendition of
The Wedding Singer, or students working on U.S. Senatorial campaigns.
The list goes on. Its clear that the Litchfield School District is a wonderful
place and the academic achievement and experiences born here are
setting our students up for success.
Over the last three years, the district has continued to move in a positive
direction. After our math scores raised concerns, weve revamped the
K-12 curriculum, added remedial and advancement programs at Litchfield
Middle School, added support programs at Campbell High School, added
AP level courses, and added geometry as a graduation requirement to
increase the expectations of our students. These changes are a work in
progress, but the work being done by the districts administration and staff
is showing promise.
As the Director of Engineering at a Manchester technology company,
I know firsthand the importance of preparing our students in the STEM
fields. I was a strong advocate for building the Griffin Memorial School
computer lab and adding technology instruction at GMS. As a district,
we need stronger STEM courses and introducing technology at GMS
sets the stage for creating stronger programs at LMS and CHS. This
past fall, Superintendent Cochrane and I toured West High School and
learned about the STEAM Ahead program and the exciting opportunities
its presenting West students. The program is in early stages, but its my
vision that we can leverage proven, successful programs like this to create
similar programs in Litchfield.
I believe that our Schools are on the right path, but there is opportunity
for improvement. I look forward to continuing to serve and helping move
education ahead in Litchfield. I ask for your support on March 10.
Hello Hudson voters it is

that time of year again where
we go out and pick our
Selectman and town officers
for the next three years for
most offices. My Name is
Norman Martin and I am
running for one of the two
open seats for Selectman in the
Town of Hudson. I am writing
this announcement to ask for
your support at the polls on March 10, 2015 starting at 7a.m.
The time has come where I feel that change needs to be made
on the board of selectman. Change in the way the selectman
speak to the department heads that are presenting to the
board, change in the way certain members of the board speak
to other selectman and how they treat them as well. When
department heads are presenting information to the board
they need to be heard and listened too because they are the
professionals that the town has hired to get the information
to the BOS and for the BOS to make an informed decision,
I do not mean that you need to give them everything that
they are asking for you just need to listen to the information
and make an informed decision and not belittle them for you
short comings. I feel that if you command respect, then you
need to give the respect when talking to others, not only to
selectman but to the people who put you in that office. There
are some selectman that think that people do not watch the
meetings that are televised live but you can bet your bottom
dollar that we do and we pay attention when these meetings
are taking place. I also feel that there needs to be more
transparency when making money transfers in the budget.
The people would like to know why we are transferring from
one line item to the next so that we can be on notice for the
next budget season when we are at the deliberative session. I
think the transfers of any amount of money need to be made
public but not given a public hearing. No good deed goes
unpunished.
I look forward to seeing all voters on election day March
10, 2015 at 7a.m. Remember to come out and vote and
support me on the Ballot my name is Norman Martin I am the
5th name down on the list. Kind regards to all.

issues that you are being asked to vote on at next Tuesdays election.
Also, you should watch the Junior Womens Club Candidate Night to
hear from those candidates who are asking for your vote.
For voting on March 10, dont forget to bring a photo ID to
check in and get a ballot. Verifying who we are with a photo ID is
becoming routine for so many things we do in our daily lives.
Be assured, no eligible voter will be denied the right to cast a
ballot at the polls. If you do not have an acceptable photo ID, you
will need to sign a Challenged Voter Affidavit that will be witnessed
by an election official. For those registered voters without photo ID
who need to fill out an affidavit, please stop at the Supervisors of the
Check List before you go to the check-in tables.

After the election, you will be contacted by the secretary of state
with a verification letter to confirm that you voted in the election.
Local elections and warrant articles are the means for you to
have a say in how the town and school district are run. By your
participation in voting, you have a direct impact on how your tax
dollars are spent. Please come out to vote on March 10 between 7
a.m. and 8 p.m. at the Hudson Community Center on Lions Avenue.
As election officials, we do our best to make the voting process as
efficient and easy as possible. We appreciate the voters patience at
the check-in as we follow the State required process. Please show
your ID and state your name clearly to the ballot clerks so they can
find it on the checklist and verify your name, ID, and address.
We look forward to seeing as many voters as possible to select
our local officials and decide what services we want the town and
school district to provide.

Bringing a Common Sense Approach

Im pleased to announce my candidacy for the Board of Selectmen. As a lifelong
resident of Hudson, I currently serve as a member of the Planning Board and as an
alternate on the Zoning Board. Previously, I served several terms on the Planning
Board and was elected to the former Town Council. During my tenure on the Town
Council I participated in contract negotiations with the unions representing our
employees. The impact of those negotiations required balance with fair compensation
for the employees with consideration of the impact to the citizens who would be footing
the bill. My employment background as a Financial Analyst preparing and analyzing
budgets and proposals provides the necessary experience to address the financial needs
of the Town and the impact to the tax rate. I am a fiscal conservative who is not afraid
of making difficult decisions to ensure public services at a cost we can afford at a time
where unemployment is high, the economy depressed and costs continuing to rise.
Our Town Planner in conjunction with the Planning Board and Board of Selectmen
has been working to revitalize the industrial parks within Hudson. Particular emphasis
is being placed on Sagamore Industrial Park which has a significant number of
vacancies. Those efforts include identifying uses for those vacant buildings that would
complement the existing businesses, enhance employment opportunities and expand
our tax base. A change to our Zoning Ordinance for the Industrial Zones would be
mandated in order for that to happen and I would support that effort.
Transparency in our government should be paramount. Deliberations and decisions
of the Board of Selectmen should be done in an open forum where the public can
witness the issues being deliberated and the decisions reached. Lack of transparency can
foster a climate of unethical behavior that is detrimental to us all.
I will bring strong ethical standards, experience, common sense and a sound
fiscal approach to problem solving and decision making for the town of Hudson. I
respectfully ask for your vote.

Politics Under the Influence (of Money)

Didnt we do this last year? Wasnt there an article on last years ballot with a
resolution to get big money out of politics? Yes, Article 15 on this years Town Warrant
is similar to one we passed last year, so Id like to explain why it is on the ballot this
year. Last years article was vague in its language, this years is direct. Last years gauged
the interest of the town in joining with 54 other NH towns and municipalities in the
state, and it passed by a large measure. This years, with its clarity of intent, should
gain that much more support if people pay attention and get out to vote. Of course I
hope you will give careful consideration to all warrant articles and vote accordingly, but
even if you vote on nothing else on the ballot please come out and vote in favor of this.
The problem is 2-fold: first it is the culture of dependency on the part of our elected
officials and second, the resulting disgust of the general public that we can actually
change the situation. It isnt a question of evil vs. good with that evil being much too
strong to take up arms against. The following is an excerpt from Lawrence Lessigs
book: Republic Lost.
the story is ... : 1. We have a gaggle of good souls who have become
dependent in a way that weakens the democracy, and 2. We have a nation of good
souls who see that dependency, and assume the worst. The first flaw bends policy. The
second flaw weakens the publics trust. The two together condemn the republic, unless
we find a way to reform at least one.
These warrant articles, which had enormous support throughout the state on last
years ballots, aim to do just that. Dont let your vote be marginalized. Vote to put an
end to the corrupting influence of large corporations and other organizations on our
election process. Vote to make your vote as valuable as anyone elses. Thats really what
its all about.
Will only the super wealthy have a voice or will we all have a say as the founders
meant for it to be? We cannot look to our elected leaders to solve this since they are
caught in the thick of the problem. (That is, none will be re-elected without the much
needed funds.) The solution must come from ordinary citizens, like you and me. But
it must be powerful enough to make a difference. An amendment to the constitution
would have that power.
There is a bill moving through the NH Senate now that would make NH the 17th
state to call for an amendment to the constitution. Should it pass, a committee will be
formed to work on the wording so we get it just right. Thank you for taking the time
to read this. I hope youll also take the time to vote in favor of this resolution.
Kate Messner, Hudson
Article 12 is a Win-Win
Im asking my fellow Hudson residents to support town warrant article 12,
the establishment of a Hudson Community Television Revolving Fund. Hudson
Community Television is a free resource the town has long provided to all residents,
businesses, and the school department to create informative, entertaining, and
compelling local television programming. It is not associated with Comcast in any
way, however the town does fully support HCTV through franchise fees Comcast pays
to the town --no property taxes are used. Article 12 will direct 80%, instead of the
current 100%, of those revenues to HCTV and the remaining 20% will go the towns
general fund. This, in effect, will lead to lower property taxes if passed. It is a winwin situation for both HCTV and Hudson taxpayers. HCTVs local programming is
produced by numerous community volunteers and is available to everyone either on
Comcast cable or by streaming it on the Internet. This article will benefit all residents,
not just cable subscribers. School sports, parades, senior concerns, concerts, cooking,
gardening, political discussions, and government meetings are just some of the areas
that have been the subject of programs on HCTV. If you have an idea for a program,
want to help others produce a show, or are just curious about what we do, come on
down to the new HCTV Access Center at Benson Park. On March 10 please support
this valuable Hudson resource and lower taxes with a yes vote on Article 12.
Mike OKeefe, Hudson Cable Committee, Hudson
no law respecting an establishment of religion ... or abridging

intent was an unrestricted right whose main purpose was to
protect political speech. This attempt by the radical left to
diminish this right would result in turning it into nothing
more than a Fascist Dictate no longer a Constitutional
right. One of the arguments they use is that it is to stop big
money from buying votes, but if they were sincere in this
claim, why then do they only focus on one side of the political
spectrum? They also assume that when you vote, you are not
smart enough to recognize the attempt, after all when you
vote it becomes your decision as to whether it happens or not,
therefore I urge all to vote no on article 15 and continue to
preserve this right.

I, Steve Perry, would like to ask for your support on March

voice that moves this town forward no matter the obstacles
at hand. I will also always be the Selectmen I pledged to be
and remain open and available to all the citizens of Litchfield,
whether it be answering questions of current events, personal
points of view, or just straight out venting. Please help me in

Preserve your Right to Vote

There is an attempt by the radical left to destroy our Constitutional freedoms. Their
current focus is on our right to free speech in the form of Article 15 on this years town
election ballot. As typical of the radical left, this is a one-sided attempt to diminish the
rights of individuals on one side of the political spectrum. This attempt is being made
because of the Supreme Court ruling that went against their failed attempt to use the
court system to accomplish their goal. The 1st Amendment reads, Congress shall make

Pastor Heath Hits the Big 30 at New Life

challenge, but its so much fun and I love doing it, he said.
Heaths resume, as well as his words and his actions, bleeds for
the mission of outreach in the community and throughout the world,
which originated in the great commission in the New Testament of
the Holy Bible.
I give the glory to God on that one, Heath said about his passion
for outreach and its origins. Introducing people to a personal
relationship with God through Jesus Christ is the most important
thing that any Christian can do, so I love doing it and helping others
learn how to do it too.
Heaths origins in his ministry at New Life began in outreach as he
came to New Hampshire with the mission of helping plan a church
in 1984. At the time he was an assistant pastor at Haverhill Alliance
Church just after graduating from seminary. He then split his time
between ministering in Haverhill and helping establish New Life.
They knew of my passion to do outreach. so they figured I
would be the best guy to lead this new adventure. I was fresh out of
seminary and had no experience planning a church, so I thought I
would wing it and let God do the rest, he said.
In the beginning, New Life was renting out the church building
off Route 101 A that is now Merrimack Valley Baptist Church. Then
they moved through renting several locations before finding their
current home in Hudson in 1996. They rented their building for the
first nine years, and then purchased the building in 2005.
After a year, Heath returned to Haverhill Alliance and Reverend
Jim Henry took over as pastor of New Life. A few years later, Henry
left New Life, and Heath felt a call from God to return to New Life
so took over as the full-time pastor. The rest follows as part of New
Life church history.
Heaths Christian walk began when he was 19 years old.
I met a pastor (Charles Flaesch) when I was 17 who taught me all
about the Bible and introduced me to faith in Christ. I grew up in
New York City, and my father was a cop and he retired and moved
up into Catskill Mountains. As newcomers in the community he
reached out to my family.
Soon after becoming a Christian, Heath received his calling to
enter the ministry.
I was about 19 years old when I felt God was wanting me
to combine my faith with my desire to help people. I went to
Houghton College in western New York for my BA in biblical studies;
then I came to Gordon/Conwell Theological seminaries in Hamilton,
Massachusetts, for my masters and doctorate.

The environment at New Life Christian Church was alive with
food, laughter, and fellowship as the Hudson church celebrated
Pastor Ken Heaths 30 years of service to them. About 150 of
the 200 members gathered at a luncheon to honor their church
shepherd.
One of the remarkable things about being here is the unity of the
people, genuine friendliness, the desire to grow spiritually in their
faith, and the willingness to let me lead them to stretch their faith
further, said Heath.
Words of love and positive attributes flowed from everyones lips
when talking about their pastor.
He is determined to teach the truth of Gods word, said
Childrens Director Sandy Birr in a speech about Heath. His
commitment to speaking the truth in love is unwavering and
unapologetic. He preaches clearly, compassionately, and boldly.
He has shown us what it means to stand strong,
New Life Churchs Secretary Karen Prescott gave a speech about
his day off and you need him he is always just a text or phone call
away. His office door is always open and the traffic coming in and
out of it never stops. I have come to know him as a shepherd that
truly loves and protects his flock. There are so many roles that he
plays that none of us will ever know of; his dedication to New Life is
incredible.
Heath was commonly described as a gifted teacher, caring,
creative, genuine, good counselor, outreach minded while balancing
it all out with a good sense of humor.
There were plenty of stories to go around to support these positive
attributes.
Our son wanted to get married in Florida, and he flew to Florida
to perform the wedding on his own time, said longtime parishioner
Laurie Bonn.
Mariann Heath, the pastors wife of 37 years, helps her husband
with the church ministry behind the scenes. She helps with nursery
duty during church, leads Bible studies, serves food, and assists with
church administration duties.
Longtime parishioner and elder Bob Barry described Heath as
certainly dedicated to the mission of outreach and taking the gospel
to the community and the world. Every year in the spring or early
summer, Heath leads a group of 25-35 people from New Life and
other sister churches on a mission trip to the Dominican Republic
and Haiti. Their mission is to assist in the construction of church
buildings.
Heath also started a daughter church in Manchester in 2000
and has begun planning another church in Lowell, Mass. Starting

her seven years of working with Pastor Heath. She admitted her
prior perception of a pastor had been someone who was always
serious and held themselves higher than others. She soon learned
that Heath was quite different, possessing a great sense of humor and
a down-to-earth compassion to listen and serve others.
Throughout the past seven years I have seen the compassion
he has shown to so many people, the long hours he works, both in
and outside the church, never on a schedule, Prescott said. If its

Explaining Zoning Articles 2 & 4

With voting coming up on Tuesday, March 10, do you have all the information needed
to make an educated vote on Zoning Articles 2 and 4? As a lifelong Litchfield resident in my
early 30s, I believe these two articles are important and should be further explained.
Article 4 - Accessory Dwelling Unit. Amended the zoning ordinance to increase the
maximum size of each unit from 650 to 800 square feet. Accessory dwelling unit is most
commonly known as an in-law apartment. By extending the square footage of these units,
the town is making it more adequate to have two occupants or one handicap occupant. Most
residents in the town have been finding that 650 square feet is just too small for even one
person to live comfortably. These units are not to be rented out, but can be used for family
members, caretakers (nurse, nanny etc) to live within the household, but have their own
space. If you couldnt live comfortably in a 650 square foot apartment, then make sure to
vote yes to Article 4!
Article 2 - Multi-family Residential Overlay. Do you know what it really means for this
town? This is on the ballot because the town is required by law to have the opportunity for
multifamily residences in Litchfield. Litchfield currently does not have any ordinances for
multi-family housing. By establishing regulations to the multi-family housing, the town is
controlling the location of future multifamily units. Multi-family housing will be limited to
the areas of Litchfield which are included in the overlay district. These areas are in the north
and south ends of town and include less than 20 percent of the total area of Litchfield. The
land available for developments in these areas is limited due to actual land availability, the
town will not be overrun by multi-family housing. Most of the land without residences is
owned by the state, owned by the water company, owned by the town, or unusable. Multifamily lots will be required to have at least 200 feet of road frontage and two acres of land. If
we do not adopt this ordinance, the town could be challenged by a developer who would then
be granted the ability to build a multifamily anywhere in town!
Multi-family housing is not a bad thing for this small town. There are many people that
would benefit from these units; such as senior citizens, single parents, recent college grads and
veterans. Limited income and/or student loan debt prevent some of these groups from being
able to purchase single family residences. Just because this regulation passes, that does not
mean that multi-family housing is going to all of a sudden increase drastically in Litchfield. It
just means the town will have a say in where these will be built and we are following the NH
requirements. Your vote counts, so make sure you know what you
are voting on!
propertys assessed value, for property tax purposes, for persons owning real property, which
is equipped with solar energy systems, intended for use at the immediate site. Such property
tax exemption shall be in the amount equal to 100% of the assessed value of qualifying
equipment under these statutes.
The adoption of the Warrant Article will not cost the tax payers of Hudson anything as the
tax exemption only covers the solar system. Each home with a qualifying solar installation
would be assessed based on the same factors as a similar home which does not have solar
panels.
The installation of an expensive, high efficiency furnace and/or water heater would never
result in an increase in property taxes. The same commitment should be extended to cover
solar energy systems!
We hope you will vote yes on Warrant Article 14 on March 10!
Hudson Needs to Support Renewable Resources

We have been homeowners in the town of Hudson since 1986. Too often there have been
concerns about brown-outs during times of high electricity usage. Perhaps more importantly,
New England continues to experience some of the highest energy costs in the nation. This
is, in part, due to an increasing reliance on fossil-fuel based electricity generation (namely,
natural gas). We strongly believe that the town of Hudson needs to make a firm commitment
to supporting renewable energy resources as proposed in Warrant Article 14. The text of
the Warrant Article is as suggested by the state of New Hampshire Office of Energy and

Hassan Reflects NH Values

Too often we only write letters and engage in politics out of
frustration or criticism, but its just as important to speak up when
we see something positive. Today Im writing this letter to voice my
support for Governor Hassans budget.
After looking into it, I believe that Governor Hassans budget
is fiscally responsible and balanced. Is a plan that will protect the
middle class and expand opportunity for all Granite Staters. Her
budget will increase funds to higher education, boost drug treatment
and prevention efforts, invest in business incubators, make health
care coverage secure for the over 34,000 people who recently received
coverage, and it moves commuter rail from Boston to Nashua and
Manchester to the next stage in planning. Importantly, it does all of
this without a sales or income tax.
So to me, Governors Hassans budget is an excellent reflection of
New Hampshire values. It is a realistic budget that seeks to make
state government smarter in order to allow for the priorities we voted
for last November to become a reality. It is a budget worth speaking
up for.

Asking for Consideration of Article 5

There are 27 part-time and full-time Secretaries who work for
the Hudson School District. Our duties are varied depending on
whether we are in the schools in the Main Office, School Counseling
Office, Special Education Office, or at the Central Office. Answering
phone calls, greeting visitors, preparing state reports, working on
budgets, preparing college applications, and helping students in a
variety of ways are just a few of our duties.
We would like you to note the following:
2010-2011 contract was not passed no raise
20112012, 2012-2013, 2013-2014 three year contract and we
agreed to no raise
2014-2015 one year contract and a 1.75% raise
Note: We do not have steps in our contract
Over five years we have received A 1.75% raise average $132.60
per year
Four years ago we presented to the School Board and the
townspeople approved, a three-year contract with zero raises for
three years. Our members felt it was the right thing to do given the
economy at that time. We live in the community and understand
the challenges faced by our friends, family and neighbors. Last year
a one-year contract was approved by the townspeople with a 1.75%
raise.
This year we are asking that you consider and approve our threeyear contract which consists of 3%, 2.75% and 2.75% increases. The
total cost of this contract for next year would have a tax impact of 1
cent per $1,000 of valuation of your residence. The secretaries have
agreed to drop the most expensive insurance plan to the district and
require all to be on the less expensive HMO or select an Open Access
plan that would save the district and the employee 7% on premiums.
We believe we have presented an extremely modest contract. What
this means is that if you have a house that is valued at $300,000 your
taxes would increase by $3 for the year, a monthly cost of 25 cents.
We love our jobs and enjoy working in the school district.
We ask that you support us by voting yes to Warrant Article 5.
Sue Wright, President; Kathy Baronas, Vice-President and Kelly
Fontaine, Treasurer, Hudson
HUDSON FIRE DEPARTMENT

2016 WARRANT ARTICLES
WARRANT ARTICLE 2
CONSTRUCTION OF A NEW FIRE STATION

Shall the Town of Hudson vote to raise and appropriate the sum of $2,100,000 for
the design and construction of a new fire station on Town-owned land located on
Lowell Road, and authorize the issuance of $2,100,000 of bonds or notes in
accordance with the provisions of Municipal Finance Act (RSA Chapter 33), and
authorize the Board of Selectmen to issue and sell such bonds or notes and to
determine the rate of interest thereon, and further raise and appropriate the sum of
$74,600 for the purpose of paying 2015-2016 bond issuance cost and interest on
said general obligation bonds or notes. Estimated tax rate impact $0.03.
Warrant Article 2 represents the design and construction cost of a new fire station for
South Hudson. This will replace the current facility located at 88 Burns Hill Road. As the
Fire Department reviewed with the Capital Improvement Committee this year, there is a
need to develop a long term plan for this facility.
Station 4 - 88 Burns Hill Road
This station was built in 1981 and originally staffed by members of the Call
Department
In 2001 this station was opened 24 hours a day, seven days a week
This facility has not had any major updates since being opened
Currently operates on a private sewer and well, with an oil heating system
Proposed Station 4 - 204 Lowell Road
Proposed facility would construct a modern fire station with much needed firematic
support functions
Proposed location would sit on Town owned property
New facility would have Town of Hudson water and sewer, with a natural gas heating
system
New location supports the Fire Department deployment plan
New location would offer an improved response district
WARRANT ARTICLE 9
RENOVATION OF THE LENNY SMITH CENTRAL FIRE STATION

Shall the Town of Hudson vote to raise and appropriate the sum of $900,000 for the
purpose of renovating the Lenny Smith Central Fire Station and authorize the withdrawal of that sum from the unassigned fund balance. Zero (0) funds are requested
from general taxation. Estimated tax rate impact $0.00.
Warrant Article 9 represents the cost of renovating the Lenny Smith Central Fire Station.
The Lenny Smith Central Fire Station was originally built as a three bay station with
associated supporting areas located on the second floor for approximately $54,000
dollars in 1952. This construction was supported by some 15,000 hours of volunteer
labor supplied by the members of the Hudson Fire Department. In 1978 a single story
addition was added to the facility for the purpose of storing the ladder and tanker truck.
The needs for the renovation to this facility have been well documented, starting with the
2007 facility study conducted by Pacheco Ross Architects. This year the Capital
Improvement Committee was presented with a proposal for a replacement facility for
Central Fire. With the development of the new Fire Department Emergency Response
Plan, we have decided to propose a renovation to the current Lenny Smith Central Fire
Station.
Goals for this Renovation are:
Update the building envelope, roof, doors, and windows
Address life safety code concerns regarding a second means of egress to the
second floor and an automatic sprinkler system
Provide updated locker facilities
Increase security within the facility
Improve protective clothing storage and decontamination area
Improve station accessibility for the public
Improve firematic support areas (kitchen, training, and dormitory)
Update the electric and plumbing systems
WARRANT ARTICLE 10
AMBULANCE REPLACEMENT
Shall the Town of Hudson vote to raise and appropriate the sum of $200,000
for the purpose of purchasing a replacement ambulance and to authorize the withdrawal
of $150,000 from the Ambulance Capital Reserve Account and to use $50,000
from the unassigned fund balance. Estimated tax rate impact $0.00.
We are requesting to fund $150,000 of this purchase from the Ambulance
Apparatus Capital Reserve Fund and the remaining $50,000 from the
2014-2015 unassigned fund balance.
This ambulance will replace the 2006 Demers, which currently responds
out of the Lenny Smith Central Fire Station and has 78,940 miles on it
as of January 15, 2015.
This replacement follows the Hudson Fire Department ambulance
replacement schedule.

After a long, unplanned challenge, I am back with a bag of new offerings for 2015.
It has been almost two years since I was actively engaged in the
day-to-day operations of Cookies and I have missed it. I need to
thank everyone who has stepped up to the plate and carried on for
me. I also want to thank all the wonderful customers who have
stood by us during this challenging time.
As we deal with the cold winter
weather, we also return to the days we all
remember so well. All the generous hot
portions of freshly prepared meals served
up with a healthy portion of friendly
service and bottomless coffee. But, the
world is changing and Cookies will be
changing with it.
First, our version of the Internet Caf.
Weekdays, when work is the first order
of business, a select number of tables in
a quiet atmosphere will be set aside with
free internet access for those who need a
place on the road to stop and meet with
business acquaintances or just get some
work done. Coffee and other beverages
will be available along with continental
breakfast foods. Of course the full breakfast menu will always be
available.
Next, is for our early morning commuters. A selection of Grab-
N-Go breakfast items will be available from 6:30 a.m. They will be
inexpensive, tasty, and ready to eat on your way to work.
Details will be posted on our Facebook page, Cookies Chuck
Wagon.
We will continue to bake our fresh
bread each morning with homemade
White, Wheat and Raisin Bread available
by the loaf after 9 a.m. And dont forget,
the raisin bread includes a portion of our
Cinnamon Butter.
Available Monday through Friday and
served from11:30 a.m. is a select lunch
menu. And check out the Grab-N-Go
Lunch program where you can pre-order
up to a weeks worth of lunches, that
includes both your beverage and dessert,
for pick up first thing in the morning on
the way to work, school or wherever you
are off to, so you never need to make a
lunch again. Also great for shut-ins and
anyone who is forced to eat out the GrabN-Go saves you money and adds the
convenience of having your lunch with you and not waiting in line
at some fast food place.
Stop in for details; you wont be disappointed.

Hudson Candidates- continued from front page

Jared Stevens is a member of the Alvirne High School class of 1999
and has lived in town for most of his life. He is the owner of Capri
Pizza and has a background in construction management and has
experience in contract negotiations.
Budget Committee (three-year term):
Ted Trost is a manager of a pharmaceutical company and a 13-year
resident. He has served on the budget committee and was an on-call
firefighter in town for 10 years. I think if the people making decisions
in town and the voters made decisions the way they make decisions
on spending their familys money, the town would be fine, he said.
Library Trustee (one position for a three-year term):
Arlene Creeden has lived in town for over 30 years and raised four
children while being active volunteering in various organizations
throughout the community. She is seeking re-election for this position.
Trustee of the Trust Funds (three-year term):
Ed Duchesne has been a trustee in this position for the past 10
years, winning three previous elections. I like to contribute my
services to the town and enjoy it very much, he said.
School Board (one position for three-year term):
Cheryl Cummings is a mother of two students in town. She hopes
to help bring different ways of learning into the Hudson School
District and help the town offer more afterschool programs.
Ben Nadeau, a former selectman and longtime resident, is an
Alvirne High School graduate with a degree in horticulture from UNH.
His primary concerns for the district are the cost per pupil, building
maintenance, and capital reserve. He believes the district should look
to the future and take the course of five years to start saving for new
buildings. We did this in the town side and we should do this on the
school side, Nadeau said.
Margaret Huard is a licensed public accountant and mother. Her
focus is creating a strong budget and helping to make the district more
cost effective. Im really excited to have an opportunity to work with
the school district and budget heads, she said.
The Candidates Debate the Issues
School Side
A total of 10 candidates attended the annual Meet the Candidates
night on the evening of Monday, March 2, sponsored by the GFWC
Hudson Junior Womens Club and the Hudson Community Club. Paul
Inderbitzen moderated the evening as the candidates each shared their
reasons for running and answered tough questions. For the school
board candidates, cutting budget costs while balancing the goal of
increased educational opportunities became the focus.
Building maintenance is number one. We have to start protecting
our assets, Ben Nadeau said
Both candidates encouraged a closer look in determining how
necessary certain line items are to the districts efficiency. They also
both agreed to take a closer look at special education costs in general
in deciding where to make cuts while continuing to providing the
same services required legally for the needs of the students.

Bronco Nation was not a place that Nashua South wanted

to visit for their first-round tournament game. But they had
to. Finishing 11th in the D-I standings gave them the dubious
task of taking on the sixth-seeded Broncos, for the second
time in exactly two weeks.
Back on Feb. 17, the Broncos had their way with the South
side ensemble to the tune of 52-35. This time didnt work out
any better for the Purple Panthers who passively fell again to a
young and aggressive Alvirne team by the score of 61-37.
Just four days after celebrating her Senior Night game,
Kaycee Carbone raised her game a notch, pouring in a gamehigh 18 points to lead the maroon and gold. Her offensive
output included 13 points in the middle quarters where
she drained three of her four triples on the night. Amanda
Wetmore continued her strong play, scoring 13, including
a tres. In all, Alvirne knocked down seven trifectas with
Marissa Sweeney (nine points) and Jess Baker (five points)
picking up the other two. Senior Emily Barry chipped in with
four points as did sophomore Katie Bellomo.
It was over early in the Steckevicz Gymnasium as the
Broncos bucked-out to a 15-4 lead after the first quarter of
play. It was more of the same in the second stanza as Alvirne
opened up with a 9-2 run that gave them a 24-6 lead with

on their bench to step up.
Once again, it was Reidy
who led the way. Brittany Reidy stepped up tonight. She had a
great game. She has been working on her shot all night. I called
on her and she did well, said Allan. Reidy scored a team-high
17 points, which include three, three-point shots in the game.
The Lady Cougars held off a final Bow attack to maintain the
lead and earn the first-round victory, 43-37. Neild had nine
points in the contest. Avery LaCroix scored eight points while
teammate Amber Gibbons collected seven points. The win
extended Campbells win streak to nine games.
It was a streak that would be halted in the quarterfinal round
as Campbell fell to fifth-seeded Pelham High School, 59-55,
on Saturday, Feb. 28. The loss ended the Lady Cougars strong
season much sooner than expected.
While the early exit is a disappointment, the Campbell
program will continue to improve and grow under an everevolving foundation of veteran athletes. We have a core group
of veterans who know what it takes and are trying to instill that
in the younger players. Its a great thing to be a part of and thats
why we have been so successful in our program, said Allan.
Those players that take it to the next level and teach, rather
than just listen. Allan will continue to build on the culture
of teaching, improving, and learning that has made the Lady
Cougars successful.
Four Broncos Place at Wrestling States and Meet of Champions
by Marc Ayotte
For the second week in a row, four Alvirne grapplers rose to the
occasion, battling the best of the best in statewide competition
and earning medals for their respective efforts. Most recently,
at the Meet of Champions (MoCs) held at Nashua North High
School, Taylor Thyne (120, 3-2), Nick Milinazzo (126, 3-2) and
Evan Manning (182, 3-2) earned third-place finishes, while
teammate Cam McClure (2-3) turned in a sixth-place finish in the
106 weight class. In the team competition, Alvirne finished tied
for ninth in the 33-school field representing all three divisions in
NH wrestling.
One week earlier at the other Nashua High School location,
the same four Broncos competed at the Division I State
Championships and qualified for the MoCs by way of their topsix finishes. McClure, Milinazzo and Manning each posted 3-1
marks on their way to third-place finishes.
But it was Thyne (2-1), the only AHS wrestler to reach the
championship bracket finals, who recorded the best showing
of the day with his second-place medal. Thyne defeated highly
touted Londonderry wrestler Tyler Byrd for
the second straight week. This time, T.T.
derailed the Lancer in the semis by a 6-0
decision, before losing a hard-fought and slim
7-6 decision to Bedfords Ben Dow in the title
bout.
In the 106 weight class, McClure capped-off
a stellar freshman season with an impressive
showing in the tournaments. Highlighting his
performance at the states was a 7-0 blanking
of Kevin Robischeau (Londonderry) in the
consolation finals. McClures sole loss on the

day came in the championship bracket semi-finals when he suffered
a 4:48 pin by eventual champion, Mark Hoyt of Concord.
After missing the final regular season meet at the Cavalier Classic,
Nick Milinazzo (126) returned to enjoy a fine showing at the states.
The Bronco sophomore turned in a 3-1 record highlighted by an
8-6 decision win against Exeters Nick Brooks in the consi-finals. At
182 pounds, it was Evan Manning who became the third wrestler to
take home a third-place medal. The senior stalwart also posted three
wins against a single loss with his spotlight victory coming against
Londonderrys Sebastian Roszcenko in the form of a 3-2 overtime
decision, also in the consolation finals.

Jess Baker (#10) drives to the hoop in first-half action

against the Pioneers.
Wetmore scored from inside the paint on a followup, offensive rebound scoop shot. Back-to-back
trifectas from Jess Baker and Wetmore ensued,
capping-off Alvirnes run. After Trinity got on
the board, thanks to a Danielle Mackey baseline
jumper, Sam Ratte (eight points) started her own
personal 6-0 contribution. Back-to-back hoops
by Ratte, including a lay-in after stealing a Trinity
inbounds pass, finished the scoring in the first
quarter and gave the Broncos a 12-4 advantage.
Ratte continued her run in the second quarter
when she drained an 18-footer with just 14 ticks
gone off the clock. Midway through the quarter,
another Bronco went on a 6-0 personal run. This
time it was Wetmore, whose third consecutive
hoop came on the receiving end of a Ratte steal,
giving AHS a commanding 23-9 cushion. As the
clock approached 1:00, Carbone connected on the
first of her three pointers, followed by a successful
drive to the hoop by Emily Barry with less than five
seconds remaining, allowing Alvirne to take a 2811 half-time lead into the locker room.
In the third quarter, the aforementioned
statistical anomaly continued when Trinitys
Hannah Fabiano became the third player on the
evening to score six straight points for her team.
Unfortunately for the Pioneers, that feat, as well as
her 15-point effort on the night was not enough as
the Lady Broncos cruised to the 13-point win.
