Were Hudson
Selectmen Thirsty after
their Jan. 5 Meeting?

by Len Lathrop
Several of the Hudson Selectmens recent conclaves have included
discussion about the current town-owned water utility. As they have
opened the tap about the current state of the water system questions
arise. Should more supply of water be sought and some commercial
expansion of the system be done?
On Tuesday, first on the agenda was an application for a new
Dunkin Donuts at the corner of Derry Road and Robinson Road.
While there is municipal water in the general area, the most
economic way to connect for the new building, which has attached
stores to the doughnut shop, is to extend the line under Route 102
and then to the Brady Road intersection with Robinson Road. Coming
from near the intersection of West and Derry, a tunnel will be drilled
through the rock the road sits on, the boring will be lined with a
plastic sleeve, and then one section of pipe will be passed under
the road. Several selectmen had issues with the process and had
questions about the pipe under the street. The project had been tabled
at an earlier meeting so that the Hudson town engineer could get
some questions answered.
While the builder would pay for this project, it becomes part of the
water utility and the responsibility of the utility once it is completed
and accepted by the town. If the pipe were to develop a leak, the
repair would mean pulling the single section of pipe from under
Route 102 and either repairing it or replacing it. The section of pipe
needed for the tunnel carries a cost of $9,000, a cost the selectmen

The Dunkin Donuts and other stores being built in Hudson will
necessitate the extension of town water to them via drilling under Route
102 and placing a pipe under the highway

had a problem being responsible for if something went wrong. To

alleviate the concern, the builder offered to give the town $15,000 to
be held in case of a problem in the future.
As Route 102 is a state road, state approval was needed for this
type of construction and has been granted by the NH Department of
Transportation. Selectmen voted to approve this project.
The next agenda item also related to Brady Drive. On top of the
hill is Hilltop Self-Storage, who will tie into the new water line at the
junction of Brady and Robinson. That project also was approved.
The primary focus of this workshop meeting was to establish a
dialogue with the Pennichuck Water Service Company. Now if you
said who, that requires some explanation. Lets draw a word picture.
Yes, Hudson does own its water system; the town purchased it
from the Consumers NH water company in 1998. The purchase
price was $27.5 million, secured by a bond. With refinancing the
bond, Hudson has 12 years to pay off that obligation. What Hudson
bought was three wells that supply the water to Hudson that are
named Dame, Ducharme, and Weinstein. All three wells, which are
located in Litchfield, are known as aquifers, or pools of water under
the ground. The aquifers are filled by rainfall or water runoff from a
higher location that seeps into the soil.
Recently, a second Weinstein well was drilled because the original
well was beginning to show excessive wear and tear. The decision
was made to re-drill a new well next to the original Weinstein as this
would be the less expensive route to go. Currently, this new well
is being tested and will apply to the state in the spring for pumping
certification for gallons per day allowed.
Hudson also got all the pipes under the streets that provide water
to the houses, the pumping station and water tanks that hold and
regulated the water pressure in your home. The Hudson town
engineer had advised the HLN in December that currently the wells
are producing 1.55 million gallons of water per day, and the town is
currently using 1.2 million gallons per day. Still waiting to understand
Pennichucks relationship? It is threefold. All maintenance and
repairs on the water system is done under contract with Pennichuck.
This includes a system that electronically watches all the pump

Harlem Wizards Bring Flash and Comedy

to the Hudson Hardwood
by Tom Tollefson
The Steckevicz gym was once again
electrified with the basketball magic of
the Harlem Wizards. For the third straight
year, the Alvirne Athletic Boosters Club
sponsored a fundraiser game between
the Harlem Wizards and the Hudson
Hoopsters team, made up of Hudson
teachers with Alvirne High School
Principal Steven Beals serving as the
referee.
Its always a fun night for the families,
and its sports related so its a great event
to support the boosters, said Booster Club
Vice President Amy Corcoran.
In total, 20 percent of the proceeds from
the ticket sales and merchandise went to
the Alvirne Booster Club, which funds
non-budget items for all Alvirne High
School athletic teams such as uniforms,
equipment, and other expenses. The 20
percent of the sales was only guaranteed
to the club if they provided six members to

staff the souvenir table.

During the day prior to the game, the
Wizards paid a visit to Hills Garrison,
Nottingham West, H.O. Smith, and
Hudson Memorial School to meet
Hudsons youth and tell them about
their game.
It was a lot of fun because we go got
to meet a lot of the kids at the schools
and then see them at the game and
have a good time, said Harlem Wizard
player Dwayne Simpson Swoops.
The evening was filled with jokes and
top 40 format music blasting throughout
the game in addition to the flashy dunks
and dribbling for which the Harlem
Wizards are known. The players kept
their routine up to date by taking breaks
between the action to snap selfie
photos in the stands with the fans.
The Wizards have asked fans to post

Triangle Online Campaign Lends a Hand to Humane Society for Greater Nashua
submitted by Triangle Credit Union
The Humane Society for Greater Nashua is
the place where concerned citizens bring stray
animals found in their neighborhoods or release
owned pets when a family can no longer care for
the pet due to loss of jobs, income, home, illness,
or a death of the pets owner. The organization
is proud to take these local animals in, care for
them and re-home them with new families, said
Laurie Dufault, director of development for HSFN.
In addition to helping local animals, the shelter
transports strays from other parts of the

country to find homes for otherwise euthanized

dogs and cats with local families.
Over the last few years, Triangle has established
an online campaign, with a Triangle matching
contribution up to $750, for members and staff.
So often we concentrate on families and friends
this time of year and forget about the animals
in need, said Triangle Credit Union President/
CEO Maurice D. Simard, Jr. This year we
raised $3,200 to support the Humane Society for
Greater Nashua. We found great success in our
membership participating in an online gift-giving
campaign.

Everyone Has One

Budget Committee Recommends

Firefighter/Paramedic
Funding on Warrant
by Jay Hobson
On Jan. 14, the Litchfield Budget Committee
voted 8-1-0 to recommend to voters a new version
of Warrant Article 19 which funds the training of a
new firefighter/paramedic.
We had voted to accept the previous warrant
article, but changes have been made to it so we
had to vote on it again. One of the changes was
that the board of selectmen had voted to use
monies from the unreserved fund balance for the
article, said Budget Committee Chairman Cindy
Couture.
Vice-Chairman Keri Douglas said, In my
opinion, of everything to take out of fund balance,
this would not be it. If I were doing it, it would be
appropriated because people should understand,
its too easy to not understand the full cost impact,
whereas if its appropriated, the public will
understand what theyre paying for.
Selectmen Budget Committee Representative
Frank Byron said that the logic of the selectmen
was that to use the unreserved balance fund
would not affect the taxpayers as the money was
already there.
If we dont use it, it stays, Byron said.
A concern raised was that employees get hired
and then after a short time and having been

trained, leave.
Thats the nature of the business world, Byron
said.
At the public budget committee hearing held
earlier that evening at the Campbell High School
auditorium, Couture said that Warrant Article 19,
which appropriates $37,600 for the training of a
new firefighter/paramedic, would not come from
an increase in the tax rate.
This article would fund one full-time firefighter
as a paramedic, and the sum would come from
the unassigned fund balance and would not be
raised from taxation, Couture told the sparse
audience.
She went on to say that it would be, a nonlapsing appropriation per RSA 32:7 VI and will not
lapse until training is completed or December 31,
2019 whichever is sooner.
According to Couture, the breakdown of the
monies will be $11,000 for the program cost
and $26,600 which provides for the coverage
while the person is out training for a total of the
$37,600.
Couture said that the warrant article was
recommended by the board of selectmen by a
vote of 4-0-1.

Remember Hudson When ...

Robert and Bertha Hardy House

submitted by Ruth Parker

This home was located on the
east side of Lowell Road, opposite
Fairview Nursing Home and adjacent
to the entrance road to what is now
Mission Pointe. In the 1920s the
family of Marion (Parker) Brown
lived here. Marion was one of the
daughters of Caroline and George
Parker. When John Hardy purchased
the Pollard Farm this became the
home of his parents, Bertha and
Robert Hardy. Robert passed in 1969
and Bertha passed in 1984. The
property was sold to settle Berthas
estate. The home was vacant for
a number of years, and, in 1996,
it was demolished to allow for the
expansion of Lowell Road in that
area. In 2001 it was purchased by the
Town of Hudson. This home was on
the site recently selected by the town
for the proposed Lowell Road Fire
Station. Photo from the Historical
Society Collection.

The Word Around Town...

Letters to our Editor

The Day the World will be

Watching New Hampshire
This letter is to reach out to my fellow New Hampshire residents.
Tuesday, Feb. 9, will not be just another ordinary day for us. It is a day the
world eagerly waits to hear our voice and begin the race towards the most
powerful chair in the world. This election has already made history from
chaotic and embarrassing moments. Feb. 9 is the Democratic Primary; the
candidates running for election have provided the normalcy of a true and
passionate campaign.
The honor given to us to be the first heard provides a chance of a proud
historical moment. Setting Presidential Candidate Hillary Clinton; on the
path to be our first woman President! This amazing woman, like it or not, is
known, loved, and respected around the world. Despite her great attributes,
achievements, and powerful titles, she humbly is on a first name basis across
the globe. After all the hard work, she deserves to be our candidate. We
of all states know hard work when we see it. We respect and stand by our
decisions. With even more confidence now, we can choose to stand by our
decision for her again. Showing the world, we do not stray from our belief.
Respectfully, we must go to the polls on the 9th!
As an educator of ethics and future administrator for higher education, I
stand proud to be from NH. Souhegan High School (Amherst), Keene State
College (Keene), found love for teaching (Dover) to gaining a Doctorate in
Educational Leadership living here in Londonderry. Our great Dartmouth
Medical Center (Hanover/Lebanon) helps with my struggle with a seizure
disorder. The gain of motivation to prosper came from great role models
while growing up. Hillary Clinton was and still is very predominant within
that group.
This primary vote gives NH an honor of importance, hand in hand, with
great responsibility. That Tuesday, one poll station, one ballot, one mark,
for one person. Cast your one vote as the world watches NH define, living
free, but before we die we shall, be heard! Go to polls! Cast your vote! Make
history on Tuesday, Feb. 9! Thank you for your time.

compromise. They have gotten us further into debt and mired us in political
correctness (an oxymoron?). They have enlarged the entitlement sector of
our population to its limit and, if left unchecked, will in short order drain
away a secured retirement for future generations.
Is it too late to turn America around? No. Ben Carson can start us on a
path in advancing Americas goals without leaving behind values upon which
this country was built. I believe that Ben Carson possesses old fashioned
common sense, intelligence, integrity, kindness, a desire to help the needy,
knowledge that ALL lives matter, and a deep and unshakeable love for
America. These are the characteristics that we need in our next President.
One can assemble a team of advisors but they cannot assemble a team of
values. They must be innate. Also, the next president must put together an
experienced team who acknowledge that government is put in place by the
people and that their power is only given to them by the consent of those
people. They must have the desire to re-instill in the American people a
trust in our legislators by working across the aisle when asked and to reach
out to the other party for input before making those decisions that will
affect our future. That is what we must demand of our elected officials. To
impress on candidates the seriousness of our resolve in this matter, we must
stand consistent and united.
You are an integral part of an important time in Americas history. Which
fork in the road will America take at this moment? You decide. When
you fulfill your obligation of voting in the New Hampshire primary and
nationally, you make a statement to all candidates and previously elected
legislators. You are saying no more. No more partisan politics! Do what is
best for the American people. No more self-indulgence with pork projects!
Elected officials must start working together in a bipartisan manner. It is
in Americas best interest. It is in the best interest of we the people! Ben
Carson is determined to leave to our children and grandchildren a better
America. That must be our mission also. It is a sacred trust with future
generations.
Cathie Chevalier, MSHEd, NH VFW Auxiliary
Legislative Chairman, Hudson

Tantralita Chatterjee, Londonderry

Would Members of Congress Qualify

for a Concealed-Carry Permit?

Help Decide which Fork in the Road

America will Take
I am the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) Auxiliary State Legislative
Chairman and State Chairman of the Carson NH campaign. I recently
attended the No Labels Problem Solver awards luncheon in Manchester.
No Labels is a non-profit, non-partisan organization. It has but one
requirement in order to earn their Problem Solver seal. The person
running for office, if elected, must agree to meet with leaders of both parties
within 30 days of inauguration to discuss one of four strategic goals:
Create 25 million new jobs by 2027
Secure Social Security and Medicare for the next 75 years
Balance the federal budget by 2030
Make America energy secure by 2014
Doctor Ben Carson has spent his life solving problems, in the operating
room, in board rooms, and in life. He received the seal. What is notable
though is which candidates did not agree to work across the aisle. They are
Bernie Sanders, Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, Hillary Clinton, Carly Fiorina,
Mike Huckabee, Jim Gilmore, and Rick Santorum.
I am let down by Americas political culture today.
The tenets upon which this country was founded have been undermined
in the last decade. The leader of this, the greatest country in the world has
dismantled our military bit by bit, released jailed terrorists, decimated our
healthcare and education systems, encouraged racial divisiveness, allowed
criminals and terrorists unfettered access, and declined to link arms with
allies, while apologizing, and bowing, to those who wish us harm. Much of
this has been done unilaterally, without conferring with the other party.
This is what America has been reduced to. This status quo, engaged in by
both political parties, cannot stand. If it does it is likely that America wont.
Let us take our country back. Demand that elected officials at every level of
government put aside partisanship.
I praise the other candidates who were awarded the No Labels Problem
Solver Seal: Chris Christie, John Kasich, Donald Trump, Rand Paul, and
Martin OMalley.
Ben Carson is a pediatric neurosurgeon. What is he doing running for
President? How can he possibly run this country? Hes not a politician; isnt
that a problem? My friends, I think it is one of his most desirable assets.
Politicians have been pushing their own agenda and refusing to

And would the President qualify for a concealed-carry permit, with it well
known that theyre all addicts with various mental disorders as well? We
all know about their collective addiction to spending our hard-earned tax
dollars to benefit mostly themselves and their wealthy donors. We surely
know of their collective mental health instability from the legislation they
pass and refuse to pass, as well as their collective attitudes and behaviors,
supposedly to be as adults who represent all citizens; but seem to represent
a chosen few who finance their re-election campaigns. And in case some
readers are not fully informed about their addictions and mental health
instability, the following example will surely enlighten some readers; I sure
hope so.
The President has proposed to give $4 billion to the automakers to begin
developing self-driving cars. Over the next 10 years the government wants
to give the major auto makers around $4 billion so that self-driving cars can
begin to have no deaths attributable to car accidents. But what will this
lunatic government do to stop the roll-over deaths in Fords, General Motors
faulty key-ignition units, the Toyota airbags suddenly inflating when theres
no accident, the failing brakes in other cars, the Ford gas tank explosions,
etc. etc.; that all combined have killed thousands of drivers over many years?
And heres the best example of their mental health instability, of this country
being in debt by trillions of dollars and millions of American citizens in
poverty and homeless conditions; but this lunatic government can find $4
billion to give to the automakers to develop self-driving cars. Maybe they
have a long range plan of developing these self-driving cars to use on Mars,
where theyre wasting billions of our tax dollars to try to get to, and start
exploring. Maybe with a handful of Mars astro-nuts up there in their selfdriving cars, they can claim no deaths attributable to car accidents!
Does anybody else besides me, see the lunacy in this federal government
and does anybody else understand why its our collective lunacy to vote for
this kind of insanity? If you do, Id like to hear from you at [to_the_point@
NetZero.Net].
This Congress we have and these presidents we get they are all the Ones
Who Fly Over the Cuckoos Nest and I sure hope they dont have concealedcarry permits because then were all in danger.

We want to thank Hudson Paving for paving our driveway! They did
an incredible job and were super nice while doing the work! This is part
of a project to build a bedroom for our son, Connor who has Autism and
Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. Duchenne will put him in a wheelchair
between 10 and 12 and sometime in his 20s it will claim his precious life.
Its so important to make our house accessible for him as the need arises for
part time wheelchair use. We are so grateful for the help! Thank you so
much!

Thumbs Down and Gun Control

Over the last few weeks I have seen a number of Thumbs Down entries
regarding gun laws here in NH. I suspected that person must be someone
who transferred here from another state; most likely Massachusetts, New
York or Connecticut, based on the tone presented in the Thumbs entries.
My suspicions were confirmed this past Friday when I read the Thumbs
entry calling for a repeal of the Open Carry law. Like many other states,
New Hampshire has never had a prohibition against open carry. Never, as in
never since New Hampshire became a State. The individual making these
Thumbs entries has clearly not done any homework regarding the gun laws
in NH and should consider moving to a state more aligned with their liberal
and overly zealous we know whats best for you! views on gun (people)
control. Another option to consider would be to actually get educated
before calling for changes in legislation that affects others.
That is why I decided to write this letter. I have grown quite weary with
calls to legislate (State and Federal) based on emotional responses or because
someone thinks its the right thing to do even though available data shows
them to be wrong. It truly isnt gun control; it is people control. I am quite
grateful we do not live in a Democracy but rather a Representative and
Constitutional Republic.
The New York Times, that bastion of liberalism to our south recently
admitted that violent crime has steadily dropped since the 1970s even
though the number of firearms in the country has increased dramatically.
The feared pools of blood on every street corner have not occurred.
Further, those countries used as the example to strive for; the UK and
Australia, have seen their rates of violent crime continue to increase
significantly since their confiscation efforts occurred. A treasure trove of
unaltered statistics can be found quite easily if one removes the party or left/
right leaning blinders and looks for it.
If the sight of a properly holstered firearm causes someone fear and alarm,
that person needs to learn the real facts and, more importantly, realize that
they took a far, far greater risk just driving to the eating establishment they
are calling out in the Thumbs entry.
Matthew J. Harper, Hudson

Navy Boats in Peril

As a former Navy enlisted and Navy officer, I am disappointed with the
capture of our two riverine boats and crews by the Iranians in the Persian
Gulf.
I understand one of the boats had a navigation problem, either
mechanical or human error, and it wandered into Iranian waters. But why
couldnt the other boat tow it away from Iranian waters?
Furthermore, why wasnt a warship accompanying the two small boats as
they traversed waters in close proximity to an unfriendly country?
Why didnt the riverine boats communicate their problems to their
commanding officer, who should have been monitoring their transit from
Kuwait to Bahrain? If they did communicate their situation, what were the
instructions they received from higher command?
It appears to me the personnel on the riverine boats and the command
hierarchy viewed the movement of the boats as a routine operation, and
they were caught off guard by the problems encountered, and they were not
prepared to conduct contingency operations. It reminds me of the capture
of the USS Pueblo off of North Korea many years ago.
This incident could embolden the Iranians and other unfriendly countries
to test our military prowess.

We are writing to share with you, after much collaboration, planning

and communicating with Town and Rec administrators, that our group
will be supporting Warrant Article 20, Funding for Capital Reserve Funds
from Unassigned Fund Balance.
The warrant article requests that the money the town raised from selling
property in 2015 be split between three capital reserve funds. One fund
being the Recreation Field Construction Capital Reserve Fund. We will be
making a request from the floor that additional funds be added to this for
field construction.
We kindly ask your support by coming to the Deliberative Session for
the Town Budget on Feb. 6 and vote to have Warrant Article 20 pass to
move to the ballot in March! We need to show and up be heard!
Feel free to contact us with any comments, suggestions or feedback and

Cookies Chuck Wagon Values Customers

The hustle and bustle of
the holidays has come to
an end. Getting back to
the normal routine of life
is settling back in. Well,
here at Cookies Chuck
Wagon that is not the
case. As we come into
our 24th year in business,
we understand the need
to keep things fresh, ever
changing and moving
forward. Back in October,
we added a new dinner
menu with a fresh new
menu each week. Last
week we broadened that
menu to include some
old new favorites. In
addition, we have added a
gluten free dinner special
each week which includes
desserts and have added
a new breakfast item,
Cornmeal Pancakes with Apple Maple Chicken Sausage. We only
ask in the beginning to give us a call before heading in to be sure
we have it prepped and ready for you. Be on the lookout for weekly
breakfast specials; be sure to ask your server.

Again, we, at Cookies,

thank you for making these
nearly 24 years possible.
A great quote by Mahatma
Gandhi: A customer is
the most important visitor
on our premises; he is
not dependent on us. We
are dependent on him.
He is not an interruption
in our work. He is the
purpose of it. He is not an
outsider in our business.
He is part of it. We are
not doing him a favour by
serving him. He is doing
us a favour by giving us
an opportunity to do so.
So very true. Thank you
to all for being such great
and faithful customers
and part of our Cookies
family. To those who have
yet to experience who
we are, please come on in. We would love to change that. Open
seven days a week, Monday to Friday, 7 a.m. to 2 p.m., Saturday 6

Hudson Selectmen-continued from page 1
stations, the wells and the storage tanks 24/7
to be sure everything is working. Pennichuck
reads your water meter and if a pipe breaks, their
crews come out to fix the problem. Pennichucks
licensed engineers and chemists also control
the chemicals that go into the towns water as is
required by the state. Hudson pays Pennichuck
about a half a million dollars every year for those
24-hour services, and by contract, Pennichuck
owns 15 percent of the water that the Hudson
wells produce.
Do you have a picture of why the selectmen
wanted to meet the Pennichuck representatives?
Town Engineer Elvis Dhima is the point person
for interaction with Pennichuck and is in regular
communication with them, but the selectmen
had never, to Chairman Maddoxs recall, ever met
with the Pennichuck team. It is a complicated
relationship as there is one more twist. When
Hudson cant produce enough water from the
wells for it needs, the town buys water from

Pennichuck, which comes to us via the Nashua

water pipe and under Veteran and Memorial
bridges.
Hoping you have the picture, the meeting that
night was cordial and everyone agreed that more
communication was wanted.
As the selectmen knew in December, after a
parlay with Dhima, that new well drilled next to
the Weinstein was not tested to produce any more
gallons per minute than the current Weinstein well
that is wearing out. Dhima had advised selectmen
that most of the decreased output is due to a drop
in the water level in the aquifers from 14 feet
below ground to 22 feet below ground.
Water is certainly going to be a topic for
discussion in Hudson for quite some time. And
here is one final point to ponder. When the Town
of Hudson water utility has to purchase water
from Pennichuck, the cost is roughly four times
the cost of the water that the water utility can
pump from the well it owns.

Fatal Hudson Crash under Investigation

submitted by Hudson Police Department
On Thursday, Jan. 14, at 1:30 p.m., members
of the Hudson Police and Fire departments
responded to the area of 300 Derry St. for a
reported two-car accident. Upon the officers
arrival they conducted an on-scene investigation.

spent the last year making
cheerful baby blankets and
crocheted hats to comfort
the children at Dartmouth
Hitchcock Childrens Hospital
in Manchester. Theses
blankets were given for
the children to use during
their hospital stay. Thanks
to community donations,
dedication and a dash

adult community members
completed 105 fleece baby
blankets and crocheted
52 hats for delivery to the
hospital. In 2016 they
hope to continue making
handmade blankets and hats
for CHaD.

To begin this discussion of the tax law changes that went into
effect in 2014, lets start with a definition of terms:
Minimum Essential Coverage (MEC) - This is an insurance
coverage under a government sponsored program, an eligible
employer sponsored plan, a plan in the individual market, a
grandfathered health plan or other coverage recognized by the Dept
of Health and Human Services. Also known as qualifying health
care coverage.
Shared Responsibility Payment (SRP) - If the taxpayer or any
member of the tax household, did not have either MEC or an
exemption for any month during the tax year, a taxpayer must
compute a shared responsibility payment on the income tax return.
Tax Household - the tax household includes the taxpayer,
taxpayer's spouse if filing a joint return, ANY individual claimed as
a DEPENDENT on the return as well as EACH person the taxpayer
can, but does not claim as a dependent.
Marketplace (aka The Exchange, Health Insurance Marketplace) A government or nonprofit entity that offers qualified health plans to
individuals.
Health Coverage Exemptions- A recognized reason for not having
MEC during any month of the tax year. Examples are unaffordable
coverage, short coverage gap, household income below filing
threshold.
Premium Tax Credit - A new tax credit for certain people who
enrolled in a qualified health plan offered through the Marketplace.
A taxpayer MUST NOT be eligible for other minimum essential
coverage, as through an employer to qualify.
Under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), the federal and state
governments, insurers, employers and individuals share responsibility for improving health insurance coverage in the US. The ACA
created the "Marketplace" where taxpayers can find information
about insurance options, purchase qualified health plans and when
eligible acquire help paying premiums and out of pocket expenses
utilizing the new premium tax credit. The ACA also created the
individual shared responsibility provision, which requires individuals to have minimum essential coverage for each month of the year,
qualify for a coverage exemption, or make a shared responsibility
payment when filing their income tax return.
Most taxpayers will have this MEC when covered through an
employer plan. If coverage was maintained throughout the year,
then these taxpayers will simply have to check a box indicating this
fact on the tax form, no further action is required. Taxpayers with
this type of coverage will receive a 1095-B from the insurance
company by March 31 with their coverage information but do not
have to wait to file since this form is not required to accompany the
return. However taxpayers who did not maintain a MEC throughout
the year may still be exempt from the SRP and will not have to
make a payment with the return if an applicable coverage exemption applies for the periods not covered by the MEC. Coverage
exemptions are available for individuals who are specifically
described as having a religious, economic, or other justification for
not having the MEC. These taxpayers who qualify for an exemption
will be required to file Form 8965, Health Coverage Exemptions
with their tax returns. Needless to say, if a taxpayer or any dependent on the return did not maintain a MEC for each month of the tax
year and does not qualify for a coverage exemption, will have to
calculate a shared responsibility payment and add it to their tax
liability on the tax return.
As you can see, in terms of simplifying the tax code, we have
added another layer of calculations to complete the yearly return.
As stated, for most individuals who have family plans through their
employer or seniors with Medicare Part A or Medicare Advantage,
there is little to be concerned, a simple box must be checked. This
year you will receive a reporting form in the 1095 series to verify
your MEC. It is for individuals, who purchased through the Marketplace and qualify for the new premium tax credit or for individuals
that did not maintain MEC and must calculate a payment where
confusion will abound.
If a taxpayer purchased insurance through the Marketplace, then
they will receive a 1095-A which has pertinent information required
to complete the return. A taxpayer who is offered health insurance
through their employer, but has decided that they cannot afford the
insurance and did not purchase through the Marketplace will
receive a 1095-C, which will have the information regarding what
the employer offered and what the employee would be required to
pay. Unless this information can be obtained prior to receiving the
1095 form, these taxpayers may need to wait to file so their returns
can be filed accurately. Companies have until March 31 to get the
Form 1095-C to their employees.
In the next article, I will continue to delve into the quagmire,
however since their are limitations to the size of these articles, I will
be attempting to add a web page at our website so that many of the
charts and formulas required to complete some of these tasks can
be displayed.

Campbell cant Overcome Winnisquams Strong Second Half

The influx of free throw shooting for

Winnisquam opened the flood gates
for their offense and disheartened
Campbells defenders. When everything
seems to be called a foul regardless it
becomes hard to stay motivated to push
on defense. French, Stanium, and Gray
continued to keep the lead close, but
the free throws would be too much. By
the end of the first half Campbell was
trailing 41-49.
The second half would be
significantly more disappointing for
Campbell. They continued to give up
offensive rebounds, and Winnisquams
point guard was not only excellent at
drawing fouls, but had a keen passing
sense as well. His pure athleticism
helped Winnisquam storm away with
the lead, leaving Campbell shaking
their heads in disappointment as the
opposing coach continued to rave like a
mad lunatic. Campbell would fall short
63-83.
This loss is Campbells third in a row,
but they have a lot of talent on the team,
especially when Gray shoots like Klay
Thompson. The Cougars will have their
next three games at home, and it seems
likely that they will go back to being
a talented team once their opponents
dont have a spotless record.

Sean French (#1) runs the fast break on his way to the basket.
(#14) started the game off with a huge block that
galvanized his teammates on the defensive end.
Suddenly the Cougars were rotating seamlessly
and hustling to stay in front of cutting wing
players. Winnisquam players chucked up shots
left and right, always drawing iron but never
scoring points. Unfortunately Campbells frantic
defense occasionally confused the players and
they forgot to box out, creating open lanes
for Winnisquam offensive players to grab the
rebound and lay it in easily.
Michael Gray (#33) was the lifeline for the
Cougars early. His three-point shooting form was
perfect straight from the tip off and he scored
four 3-pointers in the first quarter alone. Spencer
Stanium (#30) was also hot coming into the game,
scoring a couple points out of the post and off
of passes from Sean French (#1). One of such
passes led to a layup for Stanium that forced him
to contort his body around another player. He
scored the basket and earned a free throw off of

by Craig Smith
Coming into Campbells matchup against
Winnisquam the Cougars held a 3-4 record
while Winnisquam remained undefeated at 7-0.
Campbell fans were eager to see how their boys
would matchup against such a team, but behind it
all was a dull sense of fear that Winnisquam might
live up to its record. Few teams get through half
the season undefeated, and the team that takes
them down becomes all the more infamous for it.
Campbell was hoping to channel the basketball
spirit of the Milwaukee Bucks who defeated the
Golden State Warriors in the NBA. The Warriors
had put up one of the greatest winning streaks
of all time, and Milwaukee caught them off
guard and stole a game from them. Now it was
Campbells turn to do the same.
The match started off fairly evenly, with both
teams jockeying for a piece of momentum that
would carry them to the end. Nick Boucher

Michael Gray lands one of his five first-half 3-pointers.

the play. Campbell ended the first quarter with
a huge 3-pointer to give them a 23-22 lead, but
each minute the defense seemed to break down
just a little bit more. Winnisquams offensive
rebounding was amazing for its sheer volume, and
it seemed as if there was nothing Campbell could
do.
Gray came into the second quarter ready to
light it up again and started it off with another
three-pointer. In response Winnisquams point
guard recklessly drove to the basket, flinging up
shots that were more likely to land on the moon
than in the basket. It was clear he was hoping to
draw fouls and get all of his points at the line, but
the referees saw no benefit to coddling a player
that couldnt make his own shot. Winnisquams
coach interpreted it differently. The man went on
a screaming rampage, cursing out referees and
players alike. He acted more like the mad hatter,
a man who had lost his mind due to mercury
poisoning, than a coach of youth basketball. His
tirade worked however, not only pushing away fan
interest in the game, but by forcing the referees
to agree with him if only to get him to be quiet.
Although unconfirmed there are reports that his
spittle had to be cleaned from the court before
play could begin again.

It should come as no surprise now that the
Campbell swim team continues to perform with
a level of excellence that far surpasses any other
school. The notion that theyre understaffed
with no coach and only five members has been
written about ad nauseam. To bring up their
underdog status would be nothing new. There are
no new hooks with this team, only a continued
consistency and a level of performance that is
enchanting in person and appalling statistically.
The five move with a grace unlike any high
school athlete seen before. The quintet almost
looks more at home in water than on land, as if
they were born in the rippling water rather than
on the stable earth. Hyperbole aside, it would
be a disservice to athletes everywhere to not give
these young adults their public due.
On Jan. 16 Campbell traveled to Londonderry
to once again put on a show. Perhaps to many
it would be just another thing that needed to
be done; a chore meant to be finished without
reflection. These Campbell athletes are no such
individuals. The minutia of the event, the travel or
warm up, may be as meaningless to these athletes

as to the many others, but it is in the practice

of dominating the water and besting their own
personal records that makes this Campbell swim
team different from so many others.
Trent Levasseur and William Bauer both
participated in the open 100 freestyle. Fourteen
individuals participated from three different
schools and of those Levasseur took first. His
time of 58.32 was impressive, especially when
compared with the other performers who
competed at so high a level themselves. Bauer,
too, performed admirably. He earned fourth place
with a time of 1:06.64, nearly two seconds faster
than the next fastest swimmer.
Bauer also participated in the open 200
freestyle to similar results. His time of 2:24.12
earned him third place on the night. The next
fastest swimmer was almost seven and a half
seconds slower. He has truly made a case for
himself as one of the best individual swimmers in
nearly every meet. His numbers dont show the
same prowess as those that finish first, but he is
never far behind. He will be a fascinating athlete
to keep an eye on in the years to come.

This past week, six
members of the Alvirne
varsity girls gymnastics
team qualified for the
state championship in
February. The team,
captained by senior
Jenna Banatwala,
led the team by
competing in all events
(vault, uneven bars,
beam and floor) at
all competitions this
season. Fellow team
members Felicity
Burgess, Helen
Smith, Devon Rosier,
Lauren Balukonis and
Kaelyn Gagnon all
qualified for the state
championship too. Aisling
Macaraeg has not qualified
yet due to a sprained ankle
injury.
At the Keene Tournament,
Alvirne placed third overall,
while Banatwala earned
second and Rosier took
third place overall at the
event. Rosier said, It is
fun to see people becoming
more aware of the team,
and I love getting to be
more involved in Alvirne
sports.
The team is coached
by Lisa Rubuccio, who
has competed in USA
Gymnastics for 20 years
and has participated in
regional and national
championships. Jill Rosier
is the assistant coach and
represented Ithaca College
in gymnastics competition.
The teams next
tournament will be on Feb.
7 at Pinkerton Academy.

Boys basketball has been
in the Cougar Den over the
last week or so with things
sometimes going well and
sometimes not. When two of
your last three games go into
overtime, no one can speculate
that youre not playing hard or
are a team to be taken lightly.
Squads that have visited The
Den this past week were seeded
higher in NHIAA Division 3
play, and one was undefeated in
the 15-16 season.
Lets recap: On Jan. 8,
the Prospect Mountain
Timberwolves came down from
the Lakes Region and battled
into an overtime period where a
last-minute shot sent them back
to Alton with their tails between
their legs, 56 to 54. Cougar
Sean French threw in enough for
21 points and teammate Mike
Gray scored 20.
Next, on Jan. 12, the Hawks
of Hopkinton flew in with
an undefeated record on the
season; the buzz throughout
the Cougar Den was look how
big and old they (Hawks) look.
One person on the sideline even
commented, We are going to
get killed; they are full-grown
men. Well the game went to
OT, based on the Campbell
hustle and ball movement, the
Cougars kept the pressure on
Hopkintons inside players,
while the Hawks prevailed at the
overtime buzzer, 68-62, pushing
the Hawks record to 7-0. The
Cougars played a fantastic game.
Mike Gray tallied 14 points
followed by Sean French with
11.
Friday the 15th the boys were
on the bus to Belmont (5-2 on
the year), where things did not
go well. Mike Gray had 15
points. Final score was Raiders
57, Cougars 42.
On Tuesday, Jan. 19,
Winnisquam came to Litchfield,
putting their 7-0 record on the
court. Undefeated Winnisquam,
now 8-0 on the season, pushed
the Cougars into an 83-63 loss.
Campbell drops to 3-5 on the
season.
This was the last home game
for the Cougars for the month
of January. They will travel to
Mascenic on the 22nd, Sanborn
on the 26th and Conant on the
29th.

Broncos Win Two Matches with Pins

by Len Lathrop
The Bronco grapplers traveled to Salem on the 13th.
Coach Mirabella reports that Alvirne wins a close one
against Salem, New Hampshire. Huge pin by freshman
Bailey Lussier 160, to lead the way to victory!
Alvirne had six wins by pins over their Salem opponents:
Jake Leigh in the 106 weight class, Cam Mcclure at 113,
Nick Milinazzo at 126, Bailey Lussier at 170, Jacob Noonan
at 195, and Dashaun Morin in the 220 weight class. In the
285 group Cole Sevigny picked up a forfeit win.
Goffstown High School traveled to the Steckevicz
Gymnasium on Saturday for a non-divisional meet. Alvirne
showed their developing skills by pinning six, winning one
match by decision, and having Goffstown forfeiting two
weight divisions. Pins were recorded by Jacob Noonan,
at 195, at 1:16 of his match and Dashaun Morin at 1:59
in the 220 weight class. Cole Sevigny took 3:09 to pin his

combatant in the 285 class; Cam Mcclure, at 113, won by

decision; Nick Milinazzo, at 126, pinned his challenger
in less than minute; at 132, Frank Roake achieved a pin at
1:38; and, at 145, Michael Braccio, took 3:06 to pin the
Goffstown wrestler. Final tally for the day was AHS 51 and
Goffstown 12
Alvirne is seeded 9 of the 13 teams in NHIAA Division
1, with a Division 1 away meet Jan. 20 after press time and
then at home versus Exeter on Jan. 27.

Cavaliers Hockey
Takes Two
submitted by
Southern New
Hampshire
Cavaliers
This past
weekend the
Southern New
Hampshire
Cavaliers Pee Wee
hockey team won
two games. In
the first game, the
Cavaliers defeated
the Wakefield
Warriors 5 to 1. With Cavan Quinn in net, he was supported with
Keith Hubbert in and Grant Gunderson in defense. An explosive
offense was provided with goals by Isaac Winsor, Keven Perry,
Sinead Macaraeg of Hudson, Sean McCarthy and Connor Reeves
of Pelham.
On Sunday, the Cavs fought a highly contested game against
the Masco Chieftains, which resulted in the Cavaliers defeating
the Chieftains 5 to 3. Evan Doughty and Sean McCarthy both
scored twice and Winsor delivered another goal. Matt Tataronis of
Hudson provided two assists. Connor Reeves was the goaltender
for this game and held off a late Chieftain rally with a stout
defensive effort from Emma Dunn, Cameron Defilippo and Steven
Strong. The Cavs next game will be against Billerica.

shortly before their banner is hoisted into the Cougar Dens rafters.
by Len Lathrop
During halftime of the girls basketball game, the
Cougar state champions returned to The Den to see their
achievement saluted as two of the three co-captains
raised it to its rightful place. Being the NHIAA Division
3 softball champs and posting a record of 19-1 was an
outstanding result to the hard work that the ladies had
put in all season.

Alvirne-Pelham Avalanche
Nets First Win
submitted by the Alvirne-Pelham Avalanche
The Avalanche split the weeks games last week, losing to Londonderry and defeating the newly formed
co-op team Nashua North/Souhegan.
The Londonderry game was thought to be a good test, but a winnable game, but it didnt turn out that
way. The Avs lost a one sided game 9-0 on Wednesday, Jan. 13. Londonderry outshot AP 35-9 in the
game; it was a poor effort by all on the team.
Saturday, Jan. 16, versus North/Souhegan was a bit different as
the Avs were able to hold them off and pull out their first win of
the season by a score of 6-5. There were many positives in this
game for the Avs, including the return of sophomore Doug Herling.
Although he didnt make the scoreboard, he seemed to bring a
spark to the team. AP started the scoring with a goal from Fr. Riley
Nutter assisted by Matt DiPrizio, who was playing his first game
as a forward instead of defense. North/Souhegan tied the game
later in the period and that was how the first ended. The Avs came
out strong in the second; scoring three goals compared to North/
Souhegan one goal. Goal scorers were Brendan Parent (2G, 2A),

Cam Richall (1G, 3A) and Matt DiPrizio (1G, 1A). There were some

Broncos Split a Pair of Games

Jacen Hudson, who finished with a game-high

17 points, hit two big three-pointers in the
quarter to give Alvirne a slim three-point lead,
41-38, after three quarters. The final quarter
has, at times, been a nemesis for the Broncos
this season. Tonight that was not the case.
Coach Lynch talked about it after the game,
Were aware that the latter part of the game
has been our downfall several times this season.
We tried to substitute more in the second half,
and I think that gave us more energy down the
stretch.
The Broncos were definitely the team with
more energy in the fourth quarter. Sparked
by DJ LaMothes back-to-back three pointers
to give Alvirne a 49-43 lead, the Broncos
outscored the Red Raiders 20-10 in the final
stanza to secure the win. DJ scored 8 of his 10
points and was a force in the last period. He
spoke briefly after the game, Weve had issues
late in the game. Im glad I was able to step up,
but it was definitely a team effort tonight. It
certainly was a team effort.
In addition to Hudsons 17 points and
LaMothes 10, Jack Brown had a season-high 15
points, and Max Bonney-Liles scored 12. The
Broncos are now 2-4 in NHIAA Division I play
and 4-5 overall.

Alvirne opened the week in Derry on Jan. 12
with a 78-52 loss against Pinkerton. The Astros,
led by the strong inside play of senior Brennon
Morris, were a tough matchup for the smaller
Broncos team. The height disadvantage
limited the Alvirne offense to outside shots
and very few second chance opportunities on
the offensive glass. Pinkerton jumped out to a
37-19 halftime lead that was never threatened
by Alvirne.
Broncos Coach Brian Lynch talked about
the Astros, Pinkerton is always a tough
matchup for us. Their size and depth
obviously presents a matchup problem for
us. DJ LaMothe led Alvirne with 11 points.
Danny Brown chipped in with 10.
Alvirne Bounces Back
After a slow start to the game on Jan. 15 the
Broncos got on track and upended Spaulding
61-48. Early turnovers plagued the Broncos
as they found themselves on the short end
of a 15-5 score after one period. The Red
Raiders were dominant early in the game
inside with 10 of their 15 points coming from
within three feet of the basket.
In the second quarter Max Bonney Liles
got Alvirne back on track. On back-to-back
plays, the sophomore made shots, was fouled,
and hit the free throws to close the gap to 1815. A three-pointer by Jack Brown followed
by a Jacen Hudson layup gave the Broncos
their first tie of the game at 20 points midway
through the quarter. Spaulding responded
and led for the remainder of the second
quarter until Connor Lambert drained a threepointer with time running out to knot the
game at 30.
It was a back-and-forth game throughout
the third period with multiple lead changes.

Both teams in the Cougar Den came ready to
play on Friday night. For a sport where contact is
not the main object, there was certainly a bit of
it this snowy Friday night. The Raiders just were
not as scrappy as the Cougars as the ladies from
Litchfield finished with an 11-point win 48 to 37.
Led by strong play in the paint by Lexi
Putzlocker who scored a team high of 16 points,
sophomore Cleo Schultz worked hard under the
hoop on defense, playing in place of an injured
Amber Gibbons. Following in the scoring were
Gabi Sott and Emma Rousseau who threw in 11
and 10 points, respectively. The Cougars are now
5-4 on the season, seeding them at 12th place in
the 27-team NHIAA Division 3 bracket.
The ladies are now on the road until Feb. 2
when Somersworth comes to The Den.
