Day 1: Thursday – A Spooky Kick-off The first day of Old Home Days, Hudson’s annual end-of- summer event, kicked off with trick or treating for the children, and karaoke and live music for the adults. On Thursday, children bit into an early taste of Halloween as they had a chance to dress up in their favorite costume and trick or treat at the 67 vendors. The Halloween preview was followed by a children’s costume parade, much to the excitement of the parents who stood on the side with cameras in hand. This was the third year for the early Halloween event at Old Home Days. Rory Chamberlin, Marketing Associate at Chamberlin Electric said about the “spooktacular” event: “It’s a different twist and it brings a lot more people out. You can get to see a lot more faces.” Parents also enjoyed watching their youngsters scamper from vendor to vendor as they collected their favorite sugary treats. “I think the Halloween event is spectacular. It gives kids of all ages an opportunity to enjoy Old Home Days,” said Kim Buccarelli, who brought her two children and nieces and nephews. Allie Silva, owner of a women’s fitness center in Hudson called Flock Together said the turnout was “fantastic” as children “flocked” to her table for candy as well as the stickers she handed out all weekend. Silva went through three bowls of candy over the course of the hour-long trick or treat fest. Later in the evening, the Dueling Murphys performed pop and rock cover classics such as “Don’t Stop Believing” by Journey. The group performed using vocals and electronic pianos and also took requests from the audience. This group consisted of the husband-and-wife duo of Heather and Larry Maconaghy. “Everybody’s having a great time and we’re so happy with the weather,” said Larry Maconaghy. The weekend was made possible by the Old Home Days Committee and the following sponsors across town: Atlas Fireworks, Fairview Healthcare, Charles Schwab (Nashua), Columbus Dental, the Nash Foundation, the Town of Hudson, Continental Paving Inc., Eastern Propane and Oil, Collins Dentistry for Children, Benson’s Bakery, TD Bank, Greater Hudson Chamber o Commerce, the Hudson Mall, Hurd Electric, Perfect Entertainment, Regan Clothier Ltd., Service Credit Union, Kohl’s, Pinard Waste Systems, Financial Insurance Services, Sousa Realty and Development, Red Brick Clothing, T-BONES of Hudson, TJ Malley Electric, The Telegraph, Sullivan Tire, Digital Federal Credit Union, and State Farm Insurance, Denise McCarthy.

The following are excerpts contained in the press release from New Hampshire Governor Maggie Hassan’s office on August 14: In order to protect public health and well-being, Governor Maggie Hassan today declared a State of Emergency in the State of New Hampshire as a result of recent overdoses in Manchester and Concord as a result of the use or misuse of the synthetic cannabinoid identified as “Smacked!” Generally referred to as “spice,” synthetic cannabinoids are chemically engineered substances similar to tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the active ingredient in marijuana. While they are labeled as not for human consumption, “herbal incense” products of this type are known to be ingested by smoking or brewing into a tea because they contain synthetic cannabinoids. Other brands of synthetic cannabinoids may also pose dangers for substance abuse and public health. Stores are encouraged to voluntarily remove all synthetic cannabinoids from their shelves. Earlier on the same day that Governor Hassan issued the State of Emergency, this reporter had a chance to sit down and discuss the “Spice” situation in the Town of Hudson with HPD Detective Sergeant Jason Lucontoni and Detective David Cayot.

And on Saturday, August 15, in a politically and military, dignitary-filled National Guard Armory in Nashua, MooreMart, as an organization, took time to honor those volunteers that make the whole process possible. On display in the Armory were hundreds of greeting cards that were part of a contest MooreMart conducted in school districts covering several local towns. “We decided to put them up and see all the submissions and how much the kids appreciate the soldiers’ sacrifice,” explained volunteer Sharon Zeigler.

Co-founders of MooreMart, Paul Moore and his sister, Carole Biggio, were joined by numerous New Hampshire politicians including U.S. Senators Kelly Ayotte and Jean Shaheen, along with NH State Senator Chuck Morse, Nashua Mayor Donnalee Lozeau, and NH Governor Maggie Hassan. In addition, several military representatives were on hand, including Major General Reddel and Colonel Richard Duncan, who, like the distinguished politicians on hand for the ceremony, shared stories and gave thanks to the efforts of the entire MooreMart family of volunteers. Nashua Mayor Lozeau, a longtime volunteer for MooreMart, was the first to speak, and while commending what the local service organization represents on the whole, specifically acknowledged the importance of the volunteer structure by paraphrasing what she referred to as one of her favorite quotes; “volunteers don’t just have more time, they have more heart.” In Senator Ayotte’s address, she referred to MooreMart as a “New Hampshire treasure,” and a “national model,” for their continued support of U.S. Troops. “It shows the nation a way we can give back to the soldiers who have defended our freedom,” continued Ayotte. She also mentioned how, when her husband served in Iraq, it was so important to him to receive one of the care packages with which MooreMart has become symbolic. Ayotte also commended MooreMart’s humanitarian aid contributions, saying that it plays a prominent role for the children of Iraq, showing the compassion that the United States has to offer. Senator Ayotte, along with Senator Shaheen, each presented Paul Moore with a Congressional Record Statement, recognizing their support of U.S. soldiers. Governor Hassan, in her address, said we should all be eternally grateful to the service men and women for what they do, and indicated the critical role that MooreMart plays in the support of their mission. “It sends a very powerful message of support,” noted Hassan of the organization’s benevolence, via the care packages.

Fifth Annual Zach Attack Race

Keeps Dream Aliveby Tom Tollefson

Zach Tompkin’s memory was kept alive as 367 runners competed in the fi fth annual 5K Zach Attack race. Every year, runners raise money to fund Zach’s dream of building a football stadium in Hudson. At 10, Zachary Tomkins died from a genetic heart defect. The race was sponsored by Ayotte’s Stateline Market, Carbonneau Insulation, Walgreens, 7-Eleven, JLH Construction, and the Hudson Fire and Police departments.

“I’m so blessed and grateful for all this support. It blesses my heart to know that they still honor him (Zach Tompkins), support him, and remember him,” Necole Tompkins, mother of Zach Tompkins, said about the race.

Alvirne science teacher Adam Goldstein took fi rst place overall with a time of 18:26.

“It was surprising. I was expecting to see the soccer and cross country boys go way ahead of me,” said Goldstein, shortly after crossing the fi nish line.

Mike Gagnon followed close behind with a time of 18:27.“I got about 10 meters in front of him and then he took off on the

turn around the corner,” Gagnon said about his neck-and-neck fi nish with the science teacher.

Pro fi tness competitor Melinda Corssino was the fi rst woman to cross the fi nish line with a time of 23:14. Corssino admitted to not

having done much training for distance running and primarily does focuses her training on sprints, body building, and weight lifting, which she still said helped her.

The complete results for the race can be found on www.coolrunning.com. Anyone interested in donating to the Zachary Tomkins Memorial Fund can log onto www.zacharytompkins.org.

Chase Clark Plays for Hudson Rec Kidsby Tom Tollefson

Robinson Pond was rocking with the music of Alvirne alumni Chase Clark as his vocals and guitar notes streamed out over the water. Clark is the lead singer and guitarist for the Hudson-based rock band Figure 8. He came to the pond to put on a show for the children of the Hudson Recreation Department’s Summer Program, who spent every Friday during the summer at the town pond.

“It was fun playing out here by the water. The kids really got into it and had a blast,” Clark said.

The children swam and lounged on the beach as music played. This was the third year that Clark came out to play for the kids at one of their last days at Robinson Pond for the summer. He played newer songs such as “It Started With a Whisper” and classics such as “Sweet Home Alabama” by Lynyrd Skynyrd.

“It was great. He was entertaining the kids and it gives the beach day a little bit more of a beach feel,” said Hudson Recreation

Summer Program Director Frank Girginis. The young audience enjoyed the music at one of their last

summer days at the pond. “It felt soothing and awesome. It was very unique because he

blended the songs going from one song to another,” said Kayleigh D’Amico, 12.

Chase Clark poses with Jacob Rhyner, Sophia Fitzpatrick, and John Patrick Burke at Robinson Pond.

Hudson Fish and Game Jr. Rifl e Team

Looking for New Talentsubmitted by Bill Dutton

The Hudson Fish and Game Club, NH Junior Rifl e Team has a few openings available for juniors, age 11 and up, for the upcoming year. This is a competitive paper target shooting program. The new members become part of a team that holds individual/team state and national titles.

A two-night rifl e clinic will be held September 10-11. The clinic is a great way to learn about the rifl e program and meet the coaches and team.

Rifl e is an Olympic sport. New members will be trained for smallbore .22 rifl e and precision air rifl e competition in this style. Team members are taught 3 position competitive rifl e from the beginning using NRA programs and materials. Coaching staff includes NRA certifi ed rifl e coaches and instructors. No previous rifl e experience is necessary. All members need is a desire to shoot and compete.

Once basic marksmanship skills are learned, new shooters will participate in both indoor and outdoor match competition. Travel to other states is expected but is within New England in most cases.

The Hudson Junior Rifl e Team will supply the .22 rifl e and basic equipment for the beginning marksman. Some parental involvement may be needed (match transportation, occasional help during practice, etc.). The only cost for the beginner is a monthly membership fee of $40.

Practices will be at the Hudson Fish and Game Club on Wednesday or Thursday nights 6 to 9 p.m. beginning in mid-September.

Contact HFGJRT Director Bill Dutton at [email protected] or (617) 594-2194 for more information.

ESTATE PLANNING- IT’S YOUR FUTURE

Closer to Zach’s DreamOn behalf of the Zach Tompkins Memorial Fund, we would like to say

thank you to all 386 runners and walkers who attended the � fth Annual Zach Tompkins Walk/Run 5K. Each step you took brought us one step closer to realizing Zach’s Dream.

Lately the buzz across town has been one of curiousness. “What’s going on over there?” “Is that thing ever going to be built?” � e simple answer to the � rst question is asbestos and bureaucracy, two things with which most of us are unfamiliar with. An initial grant of $625,000 was slated to remediate the site, however, it wasn’t enough to complete the process. � erefore, another grant was obtained to � nish the clean-up, which I’m proud to say is 100 percent complete.

On Sunday, August 17, professional tree cutters began removing trees. Land preparation will soon begin followed by � eld work in spring of 2015. To those in the community who have been a part of this process, now is the time more than ever, to heighten your e� orts to see this project through to completion. We are calling on volunteers and local businesses to step forward to join us. We need to hear from any type of tradesman that would like to donate their time working on the project, and any local businesses wishing to donate merchandise, please reach out to us.

It’s been nearly � ve years since Zach’s passing and I know some of you have felt you have been nickel and dimed, but I can assure you every penny has been and will be put towards realizing Zach’s Dream. Remember in your hearts that one day sooner than later, all the children of Hudson will be able to play the very game he so loved on his � eld.

At the moment of this printing, the � fth annual Zach Tompkins Memorial Golf Classic may not be held. We desperately need golfers and sponsors. � ose of you that can help out, please reach out to us. We need your support more than ever.

Lastly, to all who came to the 5K, I hope you had a great time! I sure did! We are already planning for next year. Look for an email in the next couple of weeks detailing some of the fun and exciting things we have planned for next year. Hope to see you all soon!

Pancakes and Palettes a Success� e Hudson Litch� eld Rotary Club wishes to express its appreciation to

the community for its support of Pancakes and Palettes held last week at Alvirne High School. We served over 225 guests and displayed 239 pieces of student art and 23 pieces of community art.

� e People‘s Choice Award winners were students Amanda Michaud, Emily Holten and Olivia Horstkotle. Adult winner of the People’s Choice was Cathy Claricucio.

� is event could not have been successful without the support of more than 70 sponsors.

Special thanks to the custodial and administrative sta� at Alvirne High School as well as Deb Ballok, Heidi Miller and Denise Freeman, art teachers in Hudson and Litch� eld.

We would like to acknowledge Aramark, Suzie’s Diner, Hannaford’s Supermarket, Co� ee Pause, and CPTE for in-kind donations that greatly contributed to the event.

We look forward to providing deserving students scholarships to further their education and supporting other community projects.

A Famous Man Once Said ...Most readers won’t believe that a school chum of mine, from a long time

ago, regularly reads the Hudson~Litchfi eld News. He, Mark Twain that is, enjoys the letters and opinions of Hudson and Litch� eld folks and he’s a big fan of � umbs, because as most of us know, he enjoyed poking his thumb in certain people’s eyes whenever the chance was there.

He regrets that from where he is, he cannot contribute to � umbs or

Opinions, so he calls on me at times to do that for him and such a time is when he read an opinion in the August 15 edition about keeping our military the strongest on the planet. Mark T. asked me to remind the HLN’s devoted readers of one of his wisest wisdoms on that topic when he said “I do not want Our Eagle’s’ Talons to touch down on any other lands.” As it so happens, my thoughts about that wisdom are identical and further that the talons or boots or wheels of our eagles have touched down on the lands of most every country in our world and that is why there is so much anger, hatred, death and destruction around us.

We are a war-mongering society, going as far back as when the colonists pushed the Native Americans o� their lands and we haven’t stopped since then. We insist that other societies be an image of us but we are a poor image to the other societies as we have the highest rates of endless poverty, we imprison more citizens than any other country, we keep certain citizens on reservations like zoo animals to be visited in the summer, and our feral (all de� nitions apply) government is one of the most in-e� ective, inept, and corrupt systems.

A lot of the world’s problems would not be as perverse as they are, if we as a society began to tell our feral government how we want to be governed, not listen to how they will govern us; we need to have a mental revolution. I might imagine then that most Americans would agree with Mr. Twain about where the talons of our eagles belong and do not ever forget that we have had a very recent president who lied to us, about why our eagles’ talons must touch down on the lands of Iraq and in doing so; thousands of innocent Iraqi men, women, and children we murdered because it was an unjusti� ed, immoral, and illegal invasion of another country.

Positive EEE Reading in Londonderry

My name is John Latsha, Chairman of the Litch� eld Mosquito Control District. I would like to inform the public that a mosquito pool in Londonderry has tested positive for EEE. It is the � rst � ndings in the state this year. With that said, I would like to encourage all residents in the surrounding communities to please take some precautionary steps such as using bug spray, which contains Deet, during peak mosquito activity dawn/dusk and read all directions prior to use, and try to eliminate all standing water on your property that you can control.

� ank you and please enjoy the remaining weeks of summer.

Act of Kindness will be Paid Forward

Monday morning, August 18, � e Golden Gals held their monthly breakfast get together at Suzie’s Diner in Hudson. As the group was checking out, their waitress informed them that their bill had been taken care of, including the tip. � e ladies had an opportunity to meet the gentleman before he left and promised that each would pay it forward in their own way. � e Golden Gals would like to thank Mr. JP of Hudson for his kind act.

Join the Hustle and Bustle of the North Barnby Lori Bowen, Hudson Senior Services Coordinator

Hello Friends!We are in our twelfth week being open here at the North Barn

and I thought maybe it was time to share our weekly operations with you, so you have a better idea of what happens here every day.

TuesdaysTuesday mornings we are a buzz of activity. The doors open at

8:45, and we have a large group that joins in our coffee club. They sit and drink coffee or tea, chat about anything that comes up and enjoy each other’s company. We also have a large group that plays Scat on Tuesday mornings. They play for nickels so bring some if you want to play! We also have a Wii that we play bowling on, and there is a group of men that get together and play Billiards. The Whist players also come on Tuesday mornings and play rowdy hands of whist; and of course the Mah Jonng tables are fi lling up as we have multiple games of Mah Jonng going on.

Lunch is served at 11:30 every day and a $2 donation is requested for every meal. The money goes to support St. Joe’s Senior Services

out of Merrimack. St. Joe’s holds the contract with the State of New Hampshire for Hillsborough County and provides meals for senior centers and Meals on Wheels. The menu consists of healthy meals with a meat, vegetable sides and bread as well as a small dessert offering. Everyone really likes the food and it is served by our wonderful kitchen coordinator from St. Joes, Diane, and her volunteer, Mack. On large serving days other volunteers are recruited and you will fi nd Claire every Thursday serving the bread and butter with a smile. These volunteers help Diane and really make lunch go smoothly.

In the afternoon on Tuesdays we are still busy with lots of activity. In the Function room the wall gets pulled across by Lori and the tables and chairs are moved so the Zumba Gold has a dance space. Zumba starts at 1:45 and is $4 to take the class; it is a drop in class so everyone is welcome to join in this high energy dance class. On the other side of the wall you will fi nd space to enjoy coffee or a late lunch, or just sit and watch the dogs in the dog park. There are also cards and dice in the afternoon, Sevens is played right after lunch and that is followed by Pokeeno. Pokeeno is getting so popular we have started playing on two long tables. Bring your pennies for afternoon games, but please join us even if you don’t know how to play!

On the other side of the building starting at 1 p.m. there is a cribbage game to join and a bridge game to play. If you prefer a different game there are still tables available to sit and friends to make. Of course the billiard table is still there and there is always someone wanting to play against you. The Center close at 3 p.m., but by then everyone has found their way to their next adventure. On the fi rst and third Tuesdays of the month the Hudson Community Television Center opens their doors to the Seniors to tour the facility and studio, give demonstrations on the equipment and other fun things. See Lori for more information, but tours start at 1pm and you can meet them at the doors to the HCTV Access Center down behind the Barn.

WednesdaysOn Wednesday we are in the mood to exercise! Aerobics with

Sylvie starts at 9 a.m. and she runs a low impact aerobics routine, then follows it up with chairs exercises and a balance routine. After that we turn a little bit country for some Line Dancing. Gail is the instructor and she teaches her class the steps and then they dance to all kinds of country music. We are hoping to add a beginners Line Dancing class this fall, so please let Lori know if you are interested in participating. Both classes, Aerobics and Line Dancing are $3 per class and are drop in classes so you can participate at your leisure. The card group is back for more fun and games with Scat, Sevens and Pokeeno. The same rules apply as Tuesday, so bring your change! Wednesday’s lunch is served in the dining room at 11:30.

In the afternoons on Wednesday the Senior Center has “The North Barn Presents” which is a presentation of some kind every Wednesday at 1 p.m. This is mostly a free presentation, excluding movie day, which serves popcorn and water for a $1 donation. The schedule is always changing and there are many different types of presentations planned for upcoming Wednesdays. This week brought Inspector Steve Dube from the Fire Department in and next week we have Superintendent Brian Lane coming in to discuss this upcoming school year. The schedule for Wednesday can be found

in the North News, the newsletter about the happenings at the Barn, and on the website at www.hudsonnh.gov you will fi nd us under the Recreation Department.

ThursdaysThursdays are fun here at the Barn! Thursday

morning brings a meeting to attend if you desire. The fi rst Thursday of the month there is a Men’s Meeting moderated by Charlie Matthews, the director of the Rodgers Memorial Library. The second and fourth Thursdays of the month is the Senior Meeting, the historical twice monthly meeting of the Hudson Seniors that anyone is welcome to attend. If you have something to add to the agenda please stop by the offi ce and add it. The third Thursday of the month is the day for the Book Club, sponsored by the Rodgers Library. Natalie and Amy are your reading group leaders, and they come and discuss a pre-planned book and sign out the following month’s books. The context is always changing and Lori can sign out a book to you starting Thursday afternoon after the Book Club meets. And fi nally, starting in October, on the fi fth Thursday of the month is going to be “Coffee Conversations” where the Senior Coordinator, Lori Bowen, will be available

in the Function Room to sit and chat about happenings at the barn, hear your suggestions and feedback about the activities and events and she will be available for group conversation. The fi rst Thursday of the month in the morning tours will be given to anyone that wants to visit the Barn.

Also on Thursdays we have many Scat games and new friends to meet. The Silver Needles that meets at 9 a.m. in the Craft Room. You are invited to bring down whatever craft project you are working on and join them for conversation. Lunch is served at 11:30 a.m. and in the afternoon you can always fi nd people milling about the

lounge playing Billiards or working on the community puzzle. Mah Jonng is taught on Thursday mornings at 9:30 a.m., so come learn to play.

Thursdays is also Bingo day. Bingo cards

are sold at 12 p.m., they are $1.25 each card and we play 12 games. Our Bingo System is high tech

with a Bingo machine, light board and three televisions that show the next ball being called. We are starting to fi ll our room, so come on down and join us.

Tuesdays and Thursdays we also are starting a Softball team. If you are interested in playing please meet Don at Sousa fi eld on County Road in Hudson and have fun. Don’t forget your glove and it is coed.

Other Activities and FeaturesSome of the other features and activities we have here at the

Barn are the community puzzle located in the lounge. Everyone is welcome to sit down and add pieces to the puzzle. We are up to the fourth puzzle already. The billiard table is always available for anyone wanting to play, and don’t forget we are going to convert it to ping pong for Patriots day. The lending library is also located in the lounge and there you can fi nd books of all genres ready to go home with you. No sign out needed, just borrow and bring it back when you are fi nished. There is also a puzzle library that works that same way. The Indoor Yard Sale is located in the hallway, as is the bulletin boards that hold a ton of information on the Center and the Community.

We hold an Arts and Crafts event on the last Thursday of the month and this August we are making Fairy Gardens. Stop by to sign up and get more information and to see what will be coming in future months. We also host Foot Clinics and Blood Pressure clinics on a regular basis. Please see the North News for more information.

The Trip Offi ce is open on Wednesday and Thursday mornings from 9 to 11 a.m. You can always stop by with a check and slip and leave them with Lori and she will see that Lucille gets them. But if you would like to discuss a particular trip with Lucille she is available those mornings. The trips are also located on the website. Trips are paid per seat and prices range in price from $65 a seat to $90 for a day trip. Overnight is based on the location and travel expenses. All trip information is posted on the bulletin board and can be found on the website. Trips are fi lling up fast so be sure to book early!

We have a Suggestion Box located in the hallway for anyone that would like to offer up a suggestion to the Senior Center. All comments and suggestions left in the box will be addressed at the Senior Meetings on the second and fourth Thursdays. This is our center and this will help to ensure all your needs are being met.

Volunteers make the world go round and we are no exception here in the Senior Center. I just want to publically recognize all those that make my world go round … Mary, Dot, Lucille, Sandy, Diane, Janice, Dave, Frank, Shirley, Davin, Mack, Dave, Chrissy, Leo and Lynne. Not to mention all of you who have graciously volunteered to take the North News places. This place would not be as wonderful without you and I greatly appreciate your help. Happiness is found in all the little things, and I thank you all for your help to make this place a home.

All the information and our trip information on the Senior Center can be found by stopping by the Barn, picking up a copy of the North News or going online to the Town of Hudson website at www.hudsonnh.gov. Under departments you will fi nd the Recreation website and we are located in the left margin under Senior Center. Lori is also available by e-mail at [email protected]. Stop by and see us Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday, 8:45 a.m. to 3 p.m. even if you are not a “Senior.” We are so proud of this center and are happy to show it off!

Don’t forget this Senior Center is, yes a “Senior” Center, but the word Senior is used loosely around here. Being over 55 just allows you to register here at the Barn and keep in mind we are “An active and independent adult recreation facility that caters activities to its registrants that are over the age of 55 and their spouses.” So your age is just the right number here at the Barn. And we are not “Zip Code” biased, so please come see what all the fun is about!

‘End 68 Hours of Hunger’ Coming to Hudson Schools

by Len LathropIn a moving presentation during Monday’s school

board meeting, Erin and Emma Beals, with the support and assistance of their mom, Regina Beals, outlined and introduced the “End 68 Hours of Hunger.“

This private, not-for-profi t effort targets the approximately 68 hours of hunger that some school children experience between the free lunch they receive in school on Friday afternoon and the free breakfast they receive in school on Monday morning. The Beals explained that childhood hunger – or food insecurity – is a national problem. It occurs when children receive insuffi cient food on a regular basis and in many cases, miss meals entirely. After a while, these children also experience “fear of hunger” that affects their behavior as much as physical hunger affects their bodies.

According to the “End 68 Hours of Hunger” website, the program is growing nationally but has some amazing numbers. For example, 19 children in New Hampshire were being helped back in October 2011. As the effort closed out 2013, more than 700 children were being served weekly in New Hampshire (Alton, Barrington, Conway, Dover, Exeter, Hampton, Milton, Nashua,

New Durham, Northwood/Nottingham, Oyster River (Durham, Lee, Madbury), Somersworth, Portsmouth, Rollinsford) and

Maine (Eliot, Kittery, York). Recently, the “End Hunger” effort has crossed the great divide as Vacaville, Calif., has been added to the town roster. Currently there are over 350-plus volunteers who have helped raise $160,000 in addition to tons of food.

The Hudson effort will be handled a little differently as the Beals have teamed up with the Food Pantry at Saint John the XXII Church, who will manage the distribution to the schools. Regina Beals noted that there is no cost to the those receiving the food and the program is run without tax dollars solely based on donations and sponsorship support. Pauline Boisvert from the food pantry accompanied the Beals with the presentation and explained how the food pantry has been providing extra supplies to the families they serve to balance the loss of the school lunch program.

Bags will delivered to each school on Fridays for the students to take home for the weekend; Boisvert explained that they are ready to do 150 weekend kits as school starts and can adjust to the need. The distribution system will be different for each school based on the school’s age grouping. The organizers have met with the Hudson Food Service director and each school’s administrators to get their input.

The school board supported the program, thanking both the family and the food pantry for making this happen in Hudson.

Jordan Ulery has announced that he is a candidate for one of the 11 seats representing Pelham and Hudson in the 2014 Republican Primary. Ulery has served on the Ways and Means Committee in the House and on the Joint Legislative Ethics Committee most recently. Previously he served on the Criminal Justice Committee. In Ways and Means Ulery consistently voted to prevent unnecessary and un-need increases in fees, fines and taxes proposed by the Democratic majority. He voted not to increase the cost each taxpayer paid for goods and services each of the past two years. Previously he sponsored and stewarded the request for a Balanced Budget Amendment through the General Court which was forwarded to Congress. Currently Ulery is active with the Article V Caucus to re-establish the power of the states in a revitalization of the federalism that help make America great.

Jordan Ulery is a long-time resident of Hudson, his two boys attended grade school in town and attended St. John the Evangelist Church. Those children are now grown and have families of their own. The eldest recently retired from the Marine Corps. The youngest works for United Health Care. Mr. and Mrs. Ulery have been married for 43 years and have lived on Webster Street in Hudson for 42 years. Jordan is also active in the Knights of Columbus and serves as an alternate on the Hudson Planning Board. His wife is a former OB/GYN nurse and assisted many mothers in Hudson and Pelham with their deliveries at local hospitals. Many Sunday mornings he can be found at Suzie’s restaurant when he is available to answer your questions of comments. Said Representative Ulery, “I look forward to again being able to serve the people of Hudson and Pelham in Concord as their representative.”

Service has been the hallmark of the work Ulery has done in the region and in Concord. “I have worked with hard working, dependable men and women on the Republican ticket who have tried to keep New Hampshire government within its means. It will be an honor to return to Concord to continue the work to prevent expansive government from interfering with each of us,” said Ulery. I hope the Republican voters of Pelham and Hudson will support me at the September 9 Republican Primary, was expressed by Representative Jordan Ulery.

Jordan Ulery to Vie for Seat in House of Representatives

by Tom Tollefson McKenzie Lowe found out she had even more

friends last Sunday at Old Home Days. Jason Denehy, a member of the board of

directors for Team Micky Ward Charities, presented McKenzie Lowe with a donation from his board. Denehy said this is only the start and that he will continue to work to help support Lowe’s cause both through donations and through word of mouth.

The Friends of McKenzie Lowe is a dedicated group of supporters that raises money to cover the medical expenses for McKenzie, who was diagnosed with Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma, an inoperable brain tumor, in 2012. The group set up a vendor to sell wrist bands, offer a raffle, and collect donations at Old Home Days.

“I’ll look at this every day as a reminder,” Denehy said as he looked down at his pink bracelet with the words “Be McKenzie’s Hero.” “We’ll get the word out to as many people as possible to help get this young lady better.”

Denehy first heard about the McKenzie’s cause when he saw a donation jar at Ayotte’s Stateline Market store in Hudson.

“That rang a lot of bells with me. It stands close to home because of other work I’ve done with the Joe Andruzzi Foundation as a volunteer,” Denehy said about his motivation for bringing up the donation opportunity with the rest of the Micky Ward board of directors.

Anyone interested in helping can donate to Friends of McKenzie Lowe at DCU Credit Union on 257 Lowell Road in Hudson.

The Mickey Ward Charities is a non-profit organization that raises money to help charitable causes. Micky Ward was a world champion boxer from Lowell, Mass., who was played by the actor Mark Wahlberg in the movie, The Fighter. For more information you can go to their website at www.teammickycharities.com.

the legal ramifi cations associated with possessing the product as well as the health issues involved with the use of the substance.

In confi rming what came out in the governor’s press release, Sergeant Lucontoni described the product in question as a “leafy substance that was sprayed with a synthetic chemical.” Lucontoni went on to say that there has been an increase in the product being sold in southern New Hampshire. He noted that the product has been around since around 2010-2011 and that, at about the same time, the Drug Enforcement Administration had outlawed the sale of the substance, based on its chemical composition at the time.

However, as Detective Cayot indicated, the manufacturers keep changing the chemicals as a means of circumventing the DEA restrictions; in effect staying one step ahead of the law. “It’s come back to the forefront – in the news again,” observed Cayot, adding; “it’s hard to say what the exact cause of that is.” The detectives indicated that since 2013, there have been 56 overdoses, with 30-40 percent attributed to heroin, but did not confi rm that any were a result of the product “Smacked.” Both Cayot and Lucontoni shared an informational fl ier from the DEA that was being used by the HPD in their attempt to educate the store owners. Included in the fl ier were various street names of the product, how it

is abused, what it looks like (similar to potpourri) as well as the effects of using Spice or K2.

In reiterating the department’s objective of informing and educating store owners as to the various perils of being involved with the illegal substance, Cayot addressed the moral issue. Regarding any potential continued sale of the product by store owners, after being informed of the adverse and mind-altering affects resultant from its use, Cayot intimated that it would be unconscionable for the “seller” to continue selling the product, knowing the potentially grave ramifi cations to the user.

Such was not the case in nearby Pelham, where the PPD made a recent arrest of a store owner, Christopher Matte, 43, of Hudson. Matte, the owner and employee of Ace Discount Cigarettes on Bridge Street, Pelham, was charged with two counts of felony Sale of Drugs. These charges stem from the distribution of synthetic marijuana, also commonly known as “Spice.”

After personally searching out “Smacked” in several store locations in Hudson, this reporter was unable to procure any; with some store clerks/owners more convincing than others in their assurance that they did not carry the product. However, at Ayotte’s Stateline Market - Smokin Joes, a convenience store located on the Hudson/

Tyngsboro, Mass. state line, manager Mike Roberts was adamant regarding the sale of the product: “We’ve never carried it. I’ve been against it from the very beginning.” Hopefully, his feelings are shared by all retail store owners as well as other potential sellers.

And at the risk of getting too editorial on the subject, maybe the DEA should become signifi cantly more restrictive with the ingredients for this product; expand the scope of illegal chemicals and stop leaving the door open for potential manufactures to circumvent the law by making subtle changes in formulas that allow them to continue distributing the product to prospective sellers.

A fl ier distributed by the DEA and used

by the HPD in their eff ort to inform store owners about the product ‘Spice’

Susan Woodbury Misek was born in Milton Mills, NH, and passed away in hospice on August 3, 2014, as a result of failed cancer treatment.

Born on September 25, 1931, the daughter of Doris Horne Woodbury and William E. Woodbury of Milton Mills. She is survived by three siblings, Ann Davis, Jane Seeling and Stephen Woodbury.

Sue graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design in 1953 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Textiles. In 1954 she was employed by Sanders Associates, Inc. in Nashua as a patent draftsman.

Soon Vic Misek appeared with a patent application which required drawings. After a whirlwind courtship, she married Victor A. Misek in 1955. Sue and Vic celebrated their 59th anniversary together in June, 2014. She is survived by husband Victor and children Martha Frick, William Misek and Carl Misek, but predeceased by the eldest son, Stevan.

Sue and Vic have been residents of Hudson since 1957. Their home was designed by Sue. After the kids grew up, Sue worked for Sanders Associates and New England Microwave as a draftsman. She taught jewelry making and design at the Manchester Institute of Arts and Sciences. She was active for many years in

the Boy Scouts of America rising to the rank of commissioner and receiving the Silver Beaver award, one of the highest in scouting, for her many years of service.

Sue was actively interested in local history and genealogy, having membership in the Hudson Historical Society, Nashua Historical Society, New Hampshire Historical Society and New Hampshire Society of Genealogists. She spent many days at Hills House with colleagues gathering and cataloging historical treasures. She also devoted considerable effort to interviewing and tape recording family members to preserve their life experiences for posterity.

The loves of her life were family, the First Baptist Church of Hudson, cats, gardening, bird feeders, cooking, sewing, knitting, quilting, birthday dinners at Pickety Place, lobster feasts in the yard, summers at Horn Pond and family reunions.

Oh Susan how we miss you!At 11:30 a.m., Saturday, August 30, a

Celebration of Life memorial service for Susan will be held at the First Baptist Church of Hudson, 236 Central Street, Hudson.

At 1 p.m., after the service, a Celebration of Life Luncheon will be served at the White Birch, 222 Central Street, Hudson.

CRIMINAL, INJURY & BANKRUPTCY

from the last few decades such as “Sweet Home Alabama” by Lynyrd Skynyrd and the more recent “It Started with a Whisper” by the Neon Trees. The crowd enjoyed the good mix of familiar songs from the ‘70s, ‘80s, ‘90s and today.

“They seem to be quite diversifi ed with the amount of instruments they have there,” said audience member Dave Gravelle.

This was the third straight year the hometown band, made up of recent Alvirne Alumni, played at the end-of-summer festival. The band is made up of the following members as listed on their Facebook page:

Chase Clark - lead guitar/lead vocals; Vincent (Vinny) Dupont - bass/back vocals; Eric Dupont - drums/back vocals; Steve Caporale – sax; Cody Knapp - trumpet/guitar/vocals; and Tim Duffy - keyboard.

“It’s always great to play in front of the home crowd, which responds well and it was a great turnout,” said trumpeter, guitarist, and vocalist Cody Knapp.

The festival even drew an international crowd. Hudson born and bred Sari Cavanna (Grossman was her maiden name) was in town visiting from Zurich, Switzerland and brought her husband Laurent Cavanna and sons Lois and Jacques.

“It was great to see family and friends that I grew up with at Old Home Days,” the Hudson native said as she admitted to feeling the nostalgia of the weekend since much of the festival was still the same as she remembered growing up with rides and fried dough.

After the balloon rides and music, many of the residents went over to the Stonyfi eld booth for free yogurt.

“We were giving out our yogurt and we thought the Zach Attack Race demographic would be perfect to market our product. As a Hudson resident, I love being able to show our product to our town,” said Stonyfi eld Event Marketing Representative Brianna Knap.

Day 3: Saturday – Busy, Busy, Busy Saturday is always the busiest day of the

weekend for Old Home Days. As usual, it was the most eventful day of the festival packed with live music, kids’ games, a chili cook-off, touch a truck event, and of course everyone’s favorite Old Home Day tradition ... fi reworks at 9 p.m.

Dozens of parents and children fl ocked to the Touch a Truck event sponsored by Continental Paving Inc. Several trucks were on display including a police crime scene truck, grader, school bus, National Guard resupply vehicle, up armor humvee, tractor, the town’s fi rst mail truck, and a 1950 Dodge with a fl at bed owned by the Hudson Historical Society.

Children enjoyed sitting on their parents’ laps as they honked the horns in the various trucks and the sirens in the Hudson Police crime scene vehicle.

“He loves it every year and looks forward to it,” Mark Gouveia said about his son Kyle’s love for the “hands on” truck show.

Another favorite for the pint-sized residents were the children’s games sponsored by Collins Dentistry for Children and Digital Federal Credit Union. The games included bean bag toss, hula hoop contest, parachute games, and small pin bowling. Prizes included toys such as bouncy balls and fake money much to the delight of the competitors.

“I like how the volunteers are interacting and adjusting the games for the different ages,” father Jeff Cote said as he watched his daughter bowl.

While the children enjoyed the games, the adults were excited about the music. The country band called Walkin’ the Line, the cover band Rock Daddys, and the middle school band Silent Fist performed throughout the day. Residents relaxed under the tent as they ate and socialized with their friends around town. Many stated that they enjoyed the “rhythm,” “beat,” and “diversity” of the music by Rock Daddys.

“I like that they’re not too loud so you can still talk and socialize,” Hudson resident Brandon Locke said as he ate with friends.

Another major music act of the day was an up-and-coming band Silent Fist. The members may have not been old enough to drive cars, but they drove the crowds wild with their own brand of rock cover songs such as Imagine Dragons’ “Demons,” Daft Punk’s “Get Lucky,” and Stevie Wonder’s classic hit “Superstition.” This weekend, the band was sponsored by Red Brick Clothing and Columbia Dental Care.

“It was exciting and a lot of my friends were here. I never thought we’d play at Old Home Days,” said Silent Fist lead singer Murray Reynolds.

As they started playing, the socializing in the tent slowed down and all eyes and ears were on the middle schoolers. The crowd was engaged, and the group even had people jumping in their seats every time they said “jump” in their cover of “Jump” by Van Halen.

“They’re great. They’re very spirited and so happy go lucky. They look like they’re having a great time,” said audience member Donna Hughes.

Silent Fist has been around for about a year and a half and took second place for junior band in the New England Music Festival in Newton, Mass.

The country music cover band Walkin’ the Line, sponsored by Fairview Health Care, also put on a live show.

“The place is busy, the weather is great, people are friendly, and people here are drawn to country music,” said Walkin’ the Line lead singer Kevin White.

Another vendor with a worthy cause was Shane’s Anti-Bullying Program, which is a non-profi t program started by a 16-year-old student named Shane Graham-Bevis from Lowell, Mass., who was violently bullied in middle school. Shane now travels to colleges and schools to raise awareness about the damaging affects of bullying. Over the weekend, Shane and his mother, Summer Graham, sold T-shirts, bracelets, posters,

and jewelry that had anti-bullying messages and gave out free informational packets about bullying and its effects. Day 4: Sunday – Showcasing Talented Singers and Dancers

The four-day end-of-summer extravaganza fi nished with a bevy of activities on Sunday. The fi nalists for the “Voice of Hudson” singing competition emerged after two previous nights of karaoke. The judges admitted it was “tough competition,” but three winners emerged after the fi nal round on Sunday. There were three winners, one from each age group. Michaela Short won for the 13 and under group, McKenzie Catanzaro for the 14-17, and Maria McManus for the adults. This was the fi rst year the competition was open to adults.

“It was really fun. I could barely sleep last night because I couldn’t wait for this day to come,” said Michaela Short after winning fi rst place and stating she “wasn’t nervous.”

Also among the top fi nishers in the competition was adult second-place fi nisher Alan St. Louis, who holds the world record for most times singing the national anthem over the course of a year at 217.

“I sing a cappella so it’s stepping outside of my box, but it was fun,” St Louis said.

The singing competition was judged by Chairman of the Hudson Board of Selectmen Roger Coutu; Hudson Memorial Principal Keith Bowen; and Renee Gregoire, one of the staff at Old Home Days. The winners of each age group were awarded cash prizes: $200 for fi rst place, $50 for second, and $25 for third.

While Hudson’s best vocalists sang their hearts out, residents were amazed by the dancing skills in the other tent across the fi eld. Here local dance groups came out to showcase their best moves. WPI Ballroom, and Paper Moon Dance Center students demonstrated various dances such as the cha cha, rumba, bolero, fox trot, tango, waltz, and salsa just to name a few.

“I think it was well received. It was a fun showcase of dance. A lot of people see Dancing with the Stars, so it’s fun to let them know about local opportunities to get involved with dance,” said Scott Bergendahl, a student at Paper Moon Dance Center.

Local political candidates also joined the weekend festivities to mix and mingle among the townspeople and share their views and values. Hudson’s

own Jim Lawrence was in the mix of political candidates at Old Home Days. Jim Lawrence is currently running for Congress.

“I’ve come to Old Home Days every year and it’s great like every other year. There was a lot of great family fun and it was good to see a lot of neighbors and friends,” Lawrence said about his weekend at Old Home Days.

Luszey, in a heartfelt acceptance address, thanked his daughter, Ashley, for her dedication to MooreMart. He then thanked Deborah, his wife, with an emotional tribute: “Behind every successful man there is a great woman.”

In closing out the ceremony, Paul Moore addressed the volunteers and special guests, thanking them for their effort through the years. “You’ve been able to help change an individual’s life, half a world away,” Moore told his valued core of volunteers. Specifi cally, Moore addressed the role of local and state politicians in MooreMart’s efforts: “In

New Hampshire we have elected offi cials who, as they say, ‘walk the walk.’ They’re not afraid to roll up the sleeves and work with you.”

Looking forward, Moore believes that the need to continue shipping care packages to the Middle East has “never been greater – with troops asking for essentials (and) the necessities.” As such, Moore indicated that he is “committed to serve the troops as long as they are in harm’s way.”

You can See the Trees from the Field; Zach Field is on its Wayby Len Lathrop

Zachary has been gone for a while now, but he and his dream are not forgotten. The only thing that is gone on the 9 Industrial Avenue site is the asbestos.

Well, it is truly not gone, but buried in the ground where it is not a danger to anyone playing on, visiting or even in the next several months, working to make the Zachary Tompkins Field the home of the Bears. The New Hampshire Department of Environment Services has declared that the memorial foundation can begin work. While there are several things that will be need to be done before the site is certifi ed for games, the approved cleanup plan must be completed. Those tasks include paving the parking lot, fi lling the pre-game practice fi eld area to be level, and then to loam and seed it. These tasks will be completed using the remainder of the state and federal funds that the Town of Hudson has received to abate the asbestos.

For fi rst-time readers, Zachary Tompkins was an 11 year old who just didn’t wake up on March 8, 2010. Prior to his death, he had made a platter with his grandmother and told his mom that someday he wanted to own a stadium. The community came together to build Zach’s dream. Stacey Iwanicki wrote: “I think it’s most fi tting to keep Zach’s memory alive because as anyone who knew him would agree, in only 11 years, he left an ‘angelic’ mark on Hudson that would take most a lifetime to leave. Our town was blessed to have him with us.” To know more about Zach, read the Mark 19, 2010, edition of the Hudson~Litchfi eld News front page which can be found in the achieves at www.areanewsgroup.com.

This complex is no longer just a dream. Through the support of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the NH Department of Environmental Services, and other community funding of roughly $1.2 million will be spent to make this site safe to be a multi-discipline game fi eld. While the greater Hudson community

continues to support this endeavor in many ways, the mitigation of the asbestos has consumed over four years of grant writing, Memorandum of Understanding, designing for the fi eld and site studies about the contamination. Volunteers started removing trees in sections of the complex that were not reachable prior to the asbestos being buried.

Getting confused? Yes, four years have elapsed. Quite simply, there was more asbestos than any of the professional engineers had calculated, more than double the volume expected. In fact, roughly 65,000 cubic yards became 150,000 cubic yards and then throw in a whole area of ledge at the front edge of the hot zone and many things began to change. Ledge outside of the hot zone was blasted and moved. This allowed for the parking lot size to be expanded for the containment cell under the parking lot, which now is sealed with a material barrier and a lot of compressed crushed stone. It will then be paved with 6 inches of black top. Ledge in the hot zone could not be blasted or hammered due to the cost factor of it being in the hot zone. The construction team, the Hudson engineer and the Zach Foundation went back to the design phase and found that an elevated practice fi eld was the more practical engineering and fi nancial way to build the complex. This meant that the game fi eld had to be turned, resulting in the game fi eld being perpendicular with Industrial Drive and not parallel as originally planned. Imagine needing 400 feet for the game fi eld from one end to the other, not just the 300 feet of the actual game fi eld.

As the community stepped up four years ago, now it is time to reestablish the drive and excitement that we had then. All that is left is to build the game fi eld, which will be a showcase complex for the Bears and also other very needed sport fi elds for the youth of Hudson. The loose group of Family Friends of Zach, community members and the Bears leadership now informally known as the “Foundation” have committed that the game fi eld will be artifi cial turf and will be striped for not only football but also soccer and lacrosse. Field house and concession stands may be portable for the fi rst few years, but the game fi eld will be a place where Hudson youth can play. Many parts of the complex that needed to be done, such as parking lot drainage and non-hot zone blasting, were paid for by the “Foundation” as this project has developed with the current foundation investment being $100,000. The

Bears president Kelly Champagne has been in conversation with Andre Tippit, the contact person for the Kraft family, and the Patriots; grant work is being completed to apply for some funding for the game fi eld surface.

The Bears have been practicing since the beginning of August and have their season opener this Sunday as the teams are on the road. The Annual Golf Tounament is September 15 and it is never too late to sign up to play. While tree cutting began this past week, this is the fi rst day of cleaning in which volunteers will be needed.

It is time to remember four years ago, it was important then and is now even more important – send an email to the Zach foundation to ask how you can help: [email protected]

Wholesome Snacks for Back to School(BPT) - The school year is here and with it, all of those

hectic schedules. You may think the chaos of another school year means you’re too busy to provide your children with nourishing after-school snacks, but that doesn’t have to hap-pen. There are many easy recipes available that will allow you to provide wholesome and delicious snacks to your kids, and there are easy ways to be sure they enjoy them. Here are a few ideas.Ask them to help

Your children will be more excited about eating a healthy after-school snack if they have a hand in its creation. Creat-ing a garden vegetable tray is an easy way to let kids cus-tomize their snack to their own taste preferences. Smaller kids can organize the grape tomatoes while you cut the peppers, and when you’re fi nished, you can all enjoy the snack together. This large recipe is perfect if your kids are

bringing friends over. You could also create the tray on a Monday and then enjoy it all week long.

Garden vegetable trayIngredients1 package Simply Organic

Southwest Ranch Greek Yogurt Dip Mix

1 16-ounce package Stony-fi eld Plain Organic Nonfat Greek Yogurt

1 small zucchini, sliced1 small yellow squash, sliced1 pint grape tomatoes1 medium jicama, peeled and

sliced into sticks1 orange bell pepper, seeded

and sliced1 green bell pepper, seeded

and sliced1 bunch of radishes1 bunch green onions - about

10 - trimmed1 head romaine lettuce, large

leaves only for the base of the vegetable platter

1 red bell pepper

InstructionsMix Simply Organic Southwest

Ranch Greek Dip Mix with the 16-ounce package of Stonyfi eld Plain Organic Nonfat Greek Yogurt. Chill for 30 minutes.

Line a large tray or shallow dish with a decorative napkin and Romaine lettuce leaves.

Seed the red bell pepper by slicing off the top of the pep-per, then pull out the membrane and seeds. Discard membrane and seeds, but keep the top for decoration.

Fill the hollow bell pepper with chilled Simply Organic Southwest Ranch Greek Dip and place in the center of the tray or dish.

Arrange corn, zucchini, yellow squash, grape tomatoes, jicama sticks, orange and green bell pep-per, radishes and green onions

around the red bell pepper dip cup.Place toothpicks or skewers on nearby serving platter.

Hide healthy foods in delicious fl avors

Sometimes the right presentation is all you need for your children to enjoy healthy snacks. This recipe for a banana, pineapple and orange smoothie hides nutritious fruit in a savory offering that feels more like a dessert. Just make sure your kids don’t drink it too fast to ward off brain freeze.

Banana, pineapple and orange smoothieIngredients1 medium sized frozen banana (peel removed before frozen)1 cup frozen pineapple6 ounces Greek Yogurt1/2 cup coconut milk1/2 teaspoon Simply Organic Orange Flavor1/2 teaspoon Simply Organic Vanilla FlavoringFresh orange slices and shredded coconut, for garnishDirectionsIn a blender, blend all ingredients until smooth, about 3 to 4 min-

utes. Use a spatula to scrape the sides down as needed throughout blending.

Serve immediately.Snack on the runAfter a long day of sitting at their desks at school, your kids may

not be interested in sitting at the table for snack time. If you’re kids are on the go, this quick, savory recipe will give them a nutritious snack they can enjoy anywhere so you don’t have to turn to chips or candy.

Roasted chickpeas

Ingredients2 cans (16 oz. each) chickpeas, drained, rinsed and dried2 Tbsp. olive oil1 packet Simply Organic’s Crazy Awesome Veggies seasoning

Seven Tips for a Greener Back-to-school Season(BPT) - With back-to-school shopping, changing

schedules and preparing kids for the upcoming school year, your family’s environmental impact may be the last thing on your mind

It is possible to have a greener back-to-school season. Here are seven simple things parents and children can do to care for the environment - and themselves - as they return to school.

1. Reuse and recycle notebooks. While high schoolers may go through multiple notebooks per subject every year, it’s rare for elementary school-aged kids to use up their notebooks. Tear out used pages (and recycle them, of course) from last year’s notebooks so that kids can use the remain-ing blank pages. Use contact paper to freshen and reinforce covers that are worn or written on.

2. Give broken and worn down crayons new life. Gather all the bits and separate by color. Remove all papers. Using a mini-muffin pan (or mini ramekins in fun shapes), fill each cup with crayon pieces in one color. Melt in an oven set at 350 degrees just until crayons are completely melted. Cool at room temperature, then freeze for 30 minutes to make it easier to remove the newly formed crayons.

3. Refresh smelly shoes naturally. Stinky gym

bags and tennis shoes don’t have to be a reality for your athletic child, and you don’t have to resort to chemicals to kill odor. You can create a natural de-odorizing spray with essential oils. Simply mix 12 to 16 drops of lemon oil, six drops of red thyme oil and 2 drops of patchouli oil and 4 ounces of water in a misting bottle. Shake vigorously and mist inside gym bags and shoes. The formula not only kills odors, it adds an energizing, refreshing aroma.

4. Look for ways to green your commute to school. If you live close to school, consider

walking or biking. Families with lon-ger commutes may consider carpool-ing or using the school bus.

5. Green lunch-es by packing them in reusable lunch bags (no brown bags or plastic baggies, please). Pack sandwiches in reusable sandwich containers, and

use bento-style boxes with multiple compartments to hold snacks, veggies and other sides. Replace plastic water bottles with reusable bottles - plenty of fun, colorful options are available.

6. Energize naturally. Do your kids grab a sug-ary soft drink or sweet snack to boost their aware-ness while doing homework? Instead of relying on unhealthy treats for an energy boost that will come with a crash afterward, energize homework time with an essential oil diffusion. Aura Cacia offers this mood-boosting blend:

Ingredients: 10 drops peppermint essential oil 3 drops eucalyptus essential oil 2 drops ginger essential oil 3 drops sweet orange essential oil

Directions: Combine all oils in a mister bottle and spritz

in the air around your child’s work space. To give kids a boost during the school day, soak a cotton ball in the essential oils blend, slip it into a reus-able plastic container and place in your child’s book bag. Whenever he needs a burst of energy during the day, he can open it and take a quick whiff.

7. Lighten up your electricity use and carbon footprint. Get kids involved in a fun weekend project by replacing incandescent bulbs through-out the house with energy-efficient CFLs or LEDs. These bulbs give off the same amount of light for back-to-school tasks like homework or picking out a first-day outfit, but use about 80 percent less electricity and can last for eight or more years before needing replacement.

How to Help Kids Transition Back to the ClassroomThe dawn of a new school year is an exciting time. Kids may not

want to say goodbye to days spent lounging by the pool, but such disappointment is often tempered by the prospect of returning to school with friends.

For parents, getting kids ready for a new school year is about more than updating their wardrobe or organizing carpools with fellow parents. Reacclimating kids to the routine of school after a relaxing summer is a significant undertaking, and the following are a handful of ways for parents to get a head start as the school year draws closer.

* Establish a routine over the last few weeks of summer. Summer vacations typically lack the structure of the school year, and that lack of structure can help kids unwind and make the most of the freedom that summer vacation provides. But as summer starts to wind down, parents can begin to reintroduce some structure into their kids’ lives to make the transition back to school go more smoothly. Plan morning activities so kids can read-just to waking up early each day. In addition, serve breakfast, lunch and dinner at the same time you typically serve it during the school year so kids’ bodies can begin to readjust as well.

* Take kids along when shopping for school supplies. If you plan to buy your child a new com-puter or other supplies for the upcoming school year, take him or her along on your shopping trips. Kids who get to choose their supplies might be more excited about returning to school than those youngsters who are given what they need without offering their input.

* Monitor or assign summer reading. Many students are given summer reading lists to keep their minds sharp over the summer and prepare them for upcoming coursework. Parents should monitor kids’ progress on such reading lists and even discuss the books with their kids when pos-sible. Read the books along with them if you think it will help engage them. If kids were not assigned summer reading lists at the end of the school year, assign your own books, rewarding kids when they finish a new book. Kids who read throughout the summer may be more likely to start the school year off on the right foot than those who don’t crack a book all summer.

* Encourage kids to sign up for extracurricular activities. Many school-aged athletes get a head start on the new school year by try-ing out for sports teams. Such tryouts often commence a week or two before a school year is scheduled to begin, and this can help kids ease their way back into the school year. But even nonathletes can begin pursuing extracurricular activities before the first school bell of the year rings. Theater programs may begin auditions or encourage interested youngsters to attend orientation meetings before the dawn of the school year, and such sessions can be a great and pressure-free way for kids to ready themselves for a new school year.

The arrival of a new school year can be both exciting and daunt-ing. But parents can help their youngsters readjust to school in vari-ous ways after a relaxing summer.

Thumbs Up? Thumbs Down?Thumbs Up? Thumbs Down?

“Thumbs up to Lowell Road eatery where our experiences are consistently good, The 4% discount was an amazing surprise. Thanks for being like family to employees and diners.”

“Thumbs up to the town and school district of Hudson! Even though we voted on multiple raises and budgets to be Approved this year and they were. Our teachers and town personal are still leaving we were told if we voted for the raises and budgets this wouldn’t happen. They gave us their word they would stay in Hudson but unfortunately there was nothing in writing. Now our properties will be reassessed next year and taxes increased with passing budgets and pay raises. A educated voter is a informed voter. See it in writing before knowing what’s right to vote for.”

“Thumbs down to the intersection of Musquash and Wason Roads. It is very dangerous trying to pull out after the stop sign, there is not enough site distance with the overgrown trees and brush at the house on the corner. The Road Agent and the BOS need to take a look at this problem before someone gets seriously hurt or killed.”

“Thumbs up to all of the parents and alumni that donate their time to make Alvirne High Schools Marching Band and Color Guards Band Camp such a big success!”

“Thumbs up to the families where both parents work full time! Not only do families with at least one stay-at-home parents hurt their children but they hurt their spouse as well by not contributing to retirement.”

“Thumbs up/thumbs down? To the USMC who gave the Market Basket protesters the fi nger. I understand not everyone agrees with this but I just wanted to thank you for your selfl ess and valiant service to this country that has allowed me and my coworkers to exercise our right to express our opinions and fi ght for our rights. Again, thank you for your service. I Believe.”

“Thumbs up to the 2nd Amendment of the Bill of Rights;”… the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” Good Luck to all you game hunters this Fall.”

“Thumbs down to our current president! There is one debacle after another and he remains disconnected from the American people? For that matter the entire world! This country is in shambles and this guy has taken more vacations than any other president in U.S. history, costing hard working tax payers millions! Two

vacations to Africa alone cost us 44-plus million each which I fi nd staggering! This is money that could have been put too much better use securing our borders! Granted everyone deserves a vacation after working hard all year but the key word here would be working.”

“Thumbs up. A huge thumbs up to Kelly O’Neil and O’Neil Apple Tree Cinemas in Londonderry for their extremely generous donations of popcorn to the town of Litchfi eld. The O’Neil Cinemas have always donated popcorn for Griffi n Memorial School’s Bingo night, GMS Mother/Son Movie night and Litchfi eld’s WinterFest Movie night. Thank you so much for always supporting the community!”

“Thumbs up. A big thanks to the guys who returned our fence on Adelaide Street. It’s nice to see that there are still honest people in this world. Greatly Appreciated!”

“Thumbs up/Thumbs down. Republicans know they can win races but not the race to the White House. Republicans block minority progress.”

“Thumbs down to the State Rep candidate who uses the Benson Park sign with the Town of Hudson on it on his political fl yer.”

“Thumbs up to everyone who has done the Ice Bucket Challenge. It has raised awareness for ALS and has totaled millions of dollars for research. Approximately 5,600 people in the U.S. are diagnosed with ALS each year. Visit www.ALS.net to read about this disease and to understand where the Ice Bucket challenge originated. Good Work!”

“Thumbs down to all the political signs up and down the main roads. Not only do you fi ll our mail boxes with your pamphlets and all the ‘junk’ mail, why not take all that money

used and energy and solve the problems all over the state.”

“Thumbs up to Hudson Old Home Days. Congratulations to Tim and Brenda for another successful year. Your hard work and dedication is much appreciated by the town people who look forward to this event every year. Applause, applause and thank you.”

“Thumbs down to the poor broadcast quality of the Hudson School Board meeting. It seems that they just don’t want to be on TV. What are they trying to hide?”

“Thumbs up to the wonderful job Hudson did on Executive Drive. The town is very lucky that this crew can do all the prep and fi nish work relative to the paving.”

“Thumbs up to the Alvirne Farm for being open during Old Home Days. A great addition.”

“Thumbs up to all the kids heading back to school. Good Luck! Get involved with extra activities, make new friends, help someone in need and enjoy these years, they will go by so fast.”

Weather Weather and Climate WiseWhys

Weather Weather Whysand Climate Wise

by Joseph D’Aleo, CCMI had planned another topic

for this issue but felt obliged to correct the misinformation in two recent letters by Bruce Atwood. He obviously spends a lot of time mining the web for information and knows more than the average person, but as you know, you can fi nd on the web information that can support your ideas. He frequently mentions Wikipedia, which he says he trusts because it is ‘moderated.’

Wikipedia is a useful resource but should come with a disclaimer – user beware!

Many of us use Wikipedia to recall the name of an actor, a favorite movie, the name or year of a song, fi nd out how old an actor or singer we like is. You need to be careful, though, about biographies, history, politics and science, because the material is open source and often not true or at least slanted.

In a story this April “Wikipedia: where truth dies online,” http://www.spiked-online.com/newsite/article/wikipedia-where-truth-dies-online/#.U-l3GoBdVgn ,”Spiked on-line” warned that not all Wikipedia publishes can be trusted. “There are over 21 million editors with varying degrees of competence and honesty … Many teachers warn their students to exercise extreme caution when using it. (Note: some teachers forbid citing Wikipedia in a paper).”

Lawrence Solomon for CBS News http://www.cbsnews.com/news/wikipropaganda-on-global-warming/ wrote how some issues like climate have the information controlled by editors or administrators who have a clear bias.

Kim Dabelstein Petersen is a Wikipedia “editor” who seems to devote a large part of his life to editing reams and reams of Wikipedia pages to pump the assertions of global-warming alarmists and deprecate or make disappear the arguments of skeptics.

Holding the far more prestigious and powerful position of “administrator” is William Connolley … a software engineer and sometime climatologist (he used to hold a job in the British Antarctic Survey), as well as a serial (but so far unsuccessful) offi ce seeker for England’s Green party.

And yet by virtue of his power at Wikipedia, Connolley, a ruthless enforcer of the doomsday consensus, may be the world’s most infl uential person in the global warming debate ... William Connolley rode shotgun on just about any climate-related article on that website.”

As of a year ago, Mr. Connolley had edited 5,428 Wikipedia articles, almost all on climate and complaints about his zealotry ultimately earned him a suspension.

There are other sites like Skeptical Science that Mr. Atwood references, but they have the same bias http://tinyurl.com/3aytkus and http://tinyurl.com/k9s38vl.

Now to address Mr. Atwood’s other claims with facts.The grand maximum did not occur 50 years ago but over the

period from 1950 to 1990 with multiple peaks around 1958, 1980, 1990. Ilya G. Usoskin of the Sodankyla Geophysical Observatory at the University of Oulu, Finland published in Living Reviews of Solar Physics a paper examining records from two isotope proxies (Be10 and C14) and found that solar activity at the end of the 20th century was at the highest levels of the past 1,200 years.

The IPCC and warmists like to use the solar brightness (the visible part of the solar spectrum) which changes only 0.1 to 0.2 percent during the 11-year solar cycle to try and discount the solar climate connection, but they ignore other solar variables which greatly amplify the small change in the visible light like ultraviolet (which changes 6-8%), geomagnetic and the effect of the solar wind on cloud enhancing cosmic rays. You have to consider the total solar effect. http://icecap.us/images/uploads/Solar_Changes_and_the_Climate.pdf.

UK Professor Lockwood in 2013 found the measurement of the solar wind and record low magnetic fi elds during the long and record low minimum 2007 to 2009 provided some important clues for understanding the solar dynamo and explaining both the

Dalton minimum near 1800 and the deeper Maunder Minimum (1640-1700). Lockwood, the Russian Pulkovo Observatory, NASA’s Hathaway and many, many other solar scientists predict a turn to much colder as we dive deeper into the upcoming next Grand Solar Minimum. The cooling winters after 1995 (2.26 F. for the last 20 years for the US) refl ect the initial decline that began after the fi nal 1990 peak (there is a lag of 5-8 years).

A 2014 paper by Chinese scientists (Zhao et al) reported the impact of carbon dioxide on climate change may have been overstated with the total solar activity giving a better explanation of changes in the Earth’s temperature. Indeed, the greenhouse models are all failing miserably. The IPCC admitted to low understanding of water vapor, clouds, solar and ocean cycles, all far more important than CO2, so that is no surprise.

The greenhouse theory is falsifi ed by the facts warming is not global, that the so-called atmospheric tropical hot spot, the signature feature of the heat trapping theory, was absent and that the greenhouse models have failed. http://tinyurl.com/mwmk5qj.

Yes, at the surface, there was model-predicted warming in higher latitudes, but that has been observed only in the Northern Hemisphere (and ended 17 years ago – see last link) and the arctic (which is also cyclical http://icecap.us/images/uploads/ARCTIC.pdf).

Satellites, weather balloons and ocean buoys have all shown there has been no warming in the tropics from the high atmosphere all the way down 300 meters into the tropical oceans.

Finally, the health study Mr. Atwood mentioned was one the EPA found impossible to defend in Congress. Health claims do not relate to CO2 but to soot, which is why they no longer talk CO2 but ‘carbon pollution.’ With every breath, we exhale 100 times the CO2 that the air contains so it obviously doesn’t cause premature deaths or children’s asthma.

Soot is a problem in China but no longer in the U.S. Small particulates have declined 50 percent the last 15 years here and are below the EPA standard.

Real data suggests they are not a health hazard. See this story http://tinyurl.com/oh68sym debunking the role particulates had even when they were more prevalent. The famous pollution episodes in Donora, PA, in 1948 occurred due to trapping of other chemical pollutants and in London in 1952 from sulfuric acid mist from burning of high sulfur coal in a pea-soup inversion fog.

I had lunch with Dr. John Dale Dunn, an emergency physician with experience in epidemiology at Fort Hood and saw his presentation at a recent conference. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVfl _kp_Gkw.

We agreed the EPA health risk claims are totally bogus and what is ignored is the far more serious threat due from the cold where countries (like the UK) abandoned coal and fossil fuel to chase the environmental dream of unreliable wind and solar and where prices rose so much as to make energy unaffordable for those on fi xed incomes and the poor. See the deadly results of cold homes http://tinyurl.com/nj3pl4b. That is where we will be going, if we ‘buy insurance’ and allow the EPA to run amuck ‘just in case.’

Joe D’Aleo, a Hudson resident for the last 25 years, co-founded The Weather Channel and served as its fi rst director of meteorology back in 1982. With more than 40 years of experience in professional meteorology, he has served as chief meteorologist for Weatherbell Analytics since 2011. As a fellow of the American Meteorologist Society, he has testifi ed about weather and climate before federal and state legislatures and taken the science lead on legal briefs to the D.C. circuit and U.S. Supreme courts.

Bears Face Tyngsborough in Scrimmageby AJ Dickinson

Since the start of the American Youth Football season for the Hudson-Litchfi eld Bears on August 2, the young athletes of the 8U Division have their sights set on their fi rst game this Sunday. As a way to prepare for the season, Bears Coach Chuck Rubino, along with Tyngsborough, Mass., Coach Dave Robson, organized a scrimmage Tuesday, August 19, on the lower fi eld of the Memorial School. The full-contact scrimmage provided both teams with a glance at their team’s strengths and weaknesses in this year’s roster while giving the kids a chance to play a team they normally wouldn’t face during the regular season.
