Hudson Selectmen, Sans Two,

have Conclave with Department Heads
by Len Lathrop
The Buxton room allowed everyone to have a seat at the table. The goal
was to determine what the state of the town is in the eyes and minds of the
professional staff. This was a follow-up to a meeting held last summer where a
list of priorities of the town was printed on a poster in the selectmens room.
Selectmen Luzsey, Morin, and Routis asked the department heads what they
saw as most important for the town, not just their domain. It seems that IT
(information technology) systems and then space at town hall were at the top of
the list.
After introductions for the viewing audience, department heads were asked
what their needs were. Lisa Nute, director of IT, began speaking of the towns
whether that building could be re-purposed with the recreation service and
management moved completely to the Community Center. Apparently there has
been talk about the IT department being housed there, and, with the fiber optic
cable already there, the department not being in the town would be transparent.
Storage for many departments is an issue in the town hall building and that also
might be a solution. Recreation Director Dave Yates biggest concern about
leaving Oakwood is the storage in the garage on the Oakwood site that he
reported was packed with equipment and needed items.
Assistant Assessor Jim Michaud mentioned that they had just finished the five-
year reevaluation of all properties in Hudson and have already started on the
next one. He mentioned how overused town hall is and the storage issue.

funding to expand the rank and file firefighters. Both chiefs spoke of dispatch
and where that project stands.
Town Clerk and Tax Collector Patricia Barry cited two big issues. She spoke
first of the storage of records and files - many are off site with a storage company
in Nashua, where it is hard to get the records and some things are lost and not
replaceable. She also mentioned how many citizens are using the late town
hall hours on Thursday night to the point three clerks will be needed. Currently,
the two folks who work on Thursday night take time off on Friday afternoon,
but when three are needed, that would short the office too greatly on Friday
afternoon.

Dhima and Luzsey agreed that the town agreement with Nashua waste water
treatment plant is currently meeting the towns need but is holding the towns
growth hostage to sewer capacity.
Next Recreation Director Yates spoke of a new oor at the Community Center
as the current one is wearing out and gets a lot of usage.
Last in the roundtable was Town Administrator Steve Maliza who started by
saying his first priority was to find ways to pay for all the department heads
needs. He spoke about how the ballot that voters will see in March when
the town must follow HB 251 and that all ongoing savings for capital reserve

her side is to change our country from a republic ruled by democracy to one ruled by a
few and the project proponents and many opponents are not interested in her offer.
If we as a town, or as a nation, continue to allow for mob rule, continue to allow
the destruction of public property, the intimidation of the elderly, we will soon have
total chaos. No law is not what they seek, they seek only their law. Publicly calling
for the killing of police, publicly accusing the police of corruption if they do a job the
socialist party advocates doesnt want them to do, demanding publicly traded companies
become the property of the government, elimination of freedom of speech and religion,
elimination of liberty, is their mantra. Look again at the statement: the corrupt for
profit publicly traded companies. They use labels like racist, Hitler, anything to bring
hate and discontent where there otherwise would be none.
We need to stand up and we need to do it now. We can write a law that makes it
a crime to make false accusations but that would have as much deterrence to them as
the law that says they cannot destroy private or public property. We cant just sit here
thinking they will go away because they are hoping we do that so there will be no one in
the way when they come for us.
To show my appreciation in Hudson I will wave to every police officer, smile,
and say hello when we are standing in line, say thank you for being ready, and I will
remember that these are the men and women running into the gunfire while everyone
else is running out. It is my sincere hope the letter writer of last week will remember
the very people she seeks to slander and defame are the same people who rush to her
aid when she dials 9-1-1, even when her emergency is a back up alarm on construction
equipment. They are here to protect and serve and will continue to do so no matter
what you say. Its their job.
Robert E. Clegg, Hudson
Are you Familiar with the Flashing Yellow Arrow?
I have heard a lot of folks ask why the intersection at Greeley/Central/Kimball Hill/
Windham has a weird flashing yellow arrow sometimes for the left turn lane from
Kimball Hill Road. I wondered about that, too, so I asked at Town Hall. It turns out
this is the new statewide (and possibly nationwide) standard. The flashing yellow arrow
replaces the old Left Turn Yield on Green signs for new construction.
Heres what the new set of lights do: When the solid green arrow turns on, the
people in the left lane coming from Kimball Hill Road have the right of way to turn
left. When that right of way time ends, the yellow arrow comes on for a few seconds
and then the red arrow comes on. Pretty standard so far. What is new is that the red
arrow turns off and the yellow arrow starts blinking. This means that left turns are legal,
but drivers must yield to oncoming traffic. Its sort of like an intersection with a regular
People talk about a smiling wolf. For the record, no relationship to the
(expletive deleted) Fox who writes to you every week.
The reason that the smiling wolf is mentioned is that he is known for
howling at the moon, something many Hudson property owners were doing
last weekend, based on the official letter they received from the Office of the
Assessor, Town of Hudson. But remember, as Dr. Sheldon Cooper says, Math
can be your friend, and two big paws up to Carl Dubois for trying to quiet the
screaming on Facebook over the weekend. His words: Tax impact is very
small if any change at all. An increased valuation on your home only benefits
your family in equity. Please educate yourself before making these types of
statements.
Then the reply was, What do you mean? My assessed value was $196K
at $21.15 per thousand thats $4,300 and now its $246K and at $21.15 per
thousand that is going to be $5,400! If the tax rate does not go down my taxes

that not any change?
Dubois tried to help, It

off after. I didnt feel a connection with either of them
and maybe they didnt feel anything for me.
Maybe I shouldnt bring up topics like religion and
politics, but I cant help myself. Im just trying to keep
myself from falling asleep on these dates and get to
know the person better. I cant keep asking the same
questions.
I never put in much effort after all of my dates. Just
polite text messages that I would send back hours after
I received them. For those who wanted a second date
I would just always say I was busy until they got the
message.
I always go into dates with the sole expectation that
they show up. I dont expect them to pay (they always
do), I dont expect a mutual connection, and I dont
expect a second date. I like to think of myself as a
specific person and it would take a specific person to
entertain and connect with me. Specific people are a
little bit harder to find.
So I finally went on a date with a guy who I would
consider interesting. Now I realize that I have no idea
how to react to a guy that I could potentially have a
slight interest in. Its like, well, do I text first, or do I
wait for him to text me? Do I ask to hang again or wait
for him to ask? Ugh, too many thoughts. Its so much
easier when I dont like them.
Well, I may or may not be going on my first second
date. I know that you are all interested in my love life,
so I will give you the dirty details next week.
As always, email me at nicole@areanewsgroup.com.

Have you Bought your CHS Brick Yet?
courtesy of Cara Gannon
After nearly a decade of planning and
discussion, a stadium field press box
may soon by a reality at Campbell High
School. Instead of the precarious steel
structure currently used, a two-story
enclosed building would offer safe press
box capabilities, as well as concessions
and storage. The Litchfield community can
help fund this $40,000 structure by buying
a brick that will literally pave the way onto
the stadium field where the fall and spring
athletes play.
Fundraising sales from bricks and pavers
purchased by the CHS and Litchfield
community will be used in a proposed
walkway that leads onto the game field
area. Several local businesses have already
become press box sponsors by donating
various amounts: Inside Track Cabling, Inc.;
DLB Paving; Lawn Dawg, Inc; Stagnone
Chiropractic Center; and Club National,
Inc.
The stadium field is located directly in
front of the entrance to the high school.
During the fall season, boys and girls
soccer players defend their home turf as
they compete in each game there. On
Saturdays, you will find the football team
there embracing the grind and working hard
for a victory, while the spirit squad is on
the sidelines cheering on their home team.
Springtime brings boys and girls lacrosse,
both self-funded teams, to the field as well.
With all of these sports, various people are
dedicated to filming, play calling, score
keeping, and announcing the games.
Currently, when doing these tasks, these
brave souls have to sit in a so-called press
box which is, in reality, a steel frame
scaffolding structure approximately 8-9
feet high similar to what you might see at
a painting or construction site. One must
climb an, oftentimes, slippery ladder to the
second level. These individuals then sit
precariously on a chair that is only placed on a 4-foot-deep plank. What
happens if it is windy or rainy, you might ask? Well, a huge blue tarp is
placed over the structure. Of course, it doesnt stop the wind from still
making the structure sway, and only eliminates rain if it isnt pouring. If
your gaze takes you across the field to the visitors side, you will see a
similar structure, strapped to the trees. Yikes is what most spectators
probably think. For as long as most local residents can remember, this
structure has been the only one in place, most likely since the school was
first built, about 17 years ago.
About 10 years ago, the Litchfield School District School Board tasked
then Athletic Director, Coach Dan Kiestlinger, to put together a group to
research and plan for a press box to be built on the game field. After many
well-documented, successful meetings, with a contractor on board to help
out, the project was halted and put aside due to compliance questions
and budget. So there that structure sat through rainstorms and variable
winds, during playoff games, senior nights, homecomings and other school
events.
Bronco Soccer Ladies
Due to the very basic nature of the building, Win Two in OT
minimal maintenance will be required for
several years. Per the building inspector, Kevin
Lynch, the press box with exterior stairs does
not need to be ADA compliant (per the ADA
code) and that a ramp will be built for access
into the first-oor concession area (about 6
inches in height). Additionally, there will be
emergency lighting in the building and outside
with battery backups in the event that a power
outage occurs.
The original budget, without considering
donated supplies, donated labor, and building
supplies at cost, was projected at $40,000.

Field at Alvirne High School. It was Sept. 1, the

were playing their first-ever NHIAA football game.
And it was the first time Alvirne had ever started a
freshman quarterback.
