Dr. H.O. Smith Elementary School Gym

Becomes a Testing Ground for Many Superheroes
by Len Lathrop
It wasnt a bird or a plane. It was the Superhero
Training Academy, a program created by the
YMCA of Greater Nashua, celebrating its 10-week
completion Tuesday afternoon at Dr. H.O. Smith
Elementary School. School board members,
administrative staff, other principals and teachers
were on hand to bring to life a contingent of
young superheroes.
The Superhero Training Academy is designed
to address the needs of first graders who have
been classified as at risk by the schools at-risk
coordinator, yet did not necessarily qualify for
support under a diagnosed need. Teachers and
guidance counselors felt a significant number
of students were suffering from low self-esteem,
difficulty with social interactions, and/or with
anxiety and, as a result, were not engaged in the
classroom.

2- Superheroes must exhibit strong character
in the form of caring, honesty, respect and
responsibility;
3- Superheroes must act for the common good;
4-Superheroes must be good leaders in their
communities.
They reinforced to the students that while at
superhero training academies they would work
on all four of these areas through fun, physical
activities, as well as games, to help teach more
about how to be a character driven-leader in
your community. And, as these first graders used
their superpower skills, they would design their
own superhero costumes and decide how they
The 10-week pilot program began this January.

Three YMCA staff members met with the selected
35 first graders weekly for 45 minutes to teach
the youth to be their own superheroes by
demonstrating the Ys core value of making the
right decisions for themselves, their school, their
friends and the community. The students learned
that teamwork, physical activity, believing in
yourself and doing the right thing are all at the
core of becoming a superhero.
Josh Schupack, one of the three YMCA staff
members who came weekly to the school,
explained that the superhero program was a
spinoff of their superhero activity program that
runs at the YMCA. Each week, Schupack, along
with Tiffany Joslin and Justin Parker, used the
four critical components of superhero training
incorporated by the YMCA of Nashua:
1-Superheroes must be healthy and strong;

they were allowed to present
to Dr. X, under his alias
Superintendent Bryan Lane,
what they had learned and ultimately reveal what
superheroes they were.
In that gym, on Tuesday afternoon, it was hard
to see who was smiling more: the superheroes or
the staff members who were present. The energy
was exciting as these enthusiastic first graders
all disclosed their super characters names, their
actions and how they relate

to their communities. The
superheroes met with the
various leadership people in
attendance to discuss their
special identities with them.
Students also were on hand
from Library Street School
to see the superheroes big
revelations.
Joseph Manzoli, the
chief operating officer
of the YMCA, explained
that program surveys
were just starting to be
returned from the various
classroom teachers of the
participating superheroes.
Overall, comments have
been very positive so far:
My students seem to have
more confidence in sharing
with the class and I have
been very happy with this
program. Other comments
include these responses:
My students look forward
to it every week, I can
see that they are becoming
more confident every
day, and It is making a
difference.
This has been the first Superhero Training
Academy that the YMCA of Nashua has offered to
a school system. Based on the positive feedback,
Dr. Phyllis Schlicter, the assistant superintendent,
expects that September will bring a new team of
superheroes for the incoming first graders who
need a little boost in Hudson.
Kaleb Dixon Defender of Responsibility reads to Joe Manzoli Jr of the YMCA.
The superhero program at H.O. Smith was based on a similar one

developed by the YMCA of Greater Nashua.

Well, if youre Rela Burns and you go to the gym three to four times
a week, it might be just another day that your daughter said, mom,
lets go to the gym. Little did she know that the staff, her family and
friends at Golds Gym of Hudson had planned a surprise party for her.
At the gym there were 90 cupcakes complete with nine and zero
candles along with balloons, gifts, a table-sized card signed by most
everybody who had worked out at the gym in the last few days. The
whole celebration was under the watchful eye of Golds Gym General
Manager Dana Doui and his wife, Tara, who, by the way, made all of
the cupcakes. Dana had pointed out as guests waited for the birthday
girl to arrive that Rela still held court and was a vibrant 90 year old
who, on many days, even drove herself to the gym.
Folks watched out the window for the birthday girls arrival. When
the car was seen, everyone stopped working out and gathered around
the doorway to surprise her with happy birthday greetings. On hand
were her children, grandchildren, and even great-grandchildren to
help celebrate this 90th birthday.
Born in Sanford, Maine, Rela moved with her family to Nashua

when she was three months old. She attended Nashua schools and
was the 11th of 15 children. She raised four children, David, Don,
Patty, and Pam, with her husband, Raymond Burns, who left her
in 2006. She has seven grandchildren and 10, almost 11, greatgrandchildren as her daughter Pam put it. A member of St. John the
Evangelist Church here in Hudson, Rela loves puzzles of any nature
crossword or jigsaw-- and can beat most people in a high-level
Scrabble contest.
Rela was encouraged to sit on one of the exercise bikes for the
group picture. Not surprisingly, her feet and legs never stopped
moving as gifts were given to her and, as the giant card was unveiled,
she continued to pedal. Most likely, she was watching how many
miles she had traveled that morning.
Rela explained that this was the third celebration that the Golds
people had to recognize her birthday; but at 90, this was just
spectacular. If you know Rela or see her in the street or at the club,
please wish her a happy birthday She is one outstanding artist and
citizen that everyone should know.

Remember Hudson When ...

Thompsons Market on Central Street c. 1977
submitted by Ruth Parker

The tradition of a grocery store at Hudson Center
continued when the Thompson Brothers, Dave and Bob,
relocated their business to 230 Central St. in 1970 following
the fire at the Kimball Hill Road location. This Central Street
site had been part of the Greeley-Wentworth property. Dave
and Bob ran the business together for about five years, at
which time Dave retired from the business. Bob purchased
his brothers interests and continued to manage the store.
He did this until his retirement in 2002, when he received
an offer from 7-Eleven Corporation. Thompsons Market
was an ever popular min-supermarket fondly remembered
by many. In this c. 1977 photo notice the low price of gas
and pork chops. This location is now the 7-Eleven located
at 230 Central St. in Hudson Center.

Leprechauns Beware
Litcheld Cub Scouts

Receive Arrow of Light,
Cross over to Boy Scouts
submitted by K. Sullivan
Litchfields Cub Scout Pack 11 said goodbye
to five of its members on Sunday as they
crossed over into Boy Scout Troop 11. The
five Scouts, led by Den Leader Dave Hart also
received their Arrows of Light, Cub Scouts
highest award. Eric Coates, Jonathon Lewis,
Mathew Hart, Alex Tymowicz and Ben Sullivan
all received their plaque and badge.
These awards were earned over the past few
years and indicate that the Scouts learned and
demonstrated many skills including hiking,
craftsmanship, citizenship, and fitness. The
ceremony featured a reading of the definition
of the qualities of a Boy Scout such as loyalty
and kindness, each read by younger Cub

Scouts. After the five crossed the bridge,
they were welcomed by the older members
of Troop 11 who gave them their new books
and scarves, indicating that they were now
part of the troop. Cake and fun followed the
ceremony with the families of both the pack
and the troop coming together to celebrate.
The day was organized by Den Leader Dave
Hart and Pack 11 Activities Coordinator Nicole
Wilson with help from the leadership and
members of Troop 11.
The ceremony was a special recognition for
the boys and their families.

March 17 was a busy day for all first graders as well as Mrs. Cotes and Mrs. Mics second grade classes at
Griffin Memorial School. Those rascally leprechauns had struck again.
Luckily, the students were prepared and had set up traps to capture them. Students had worked
diligently in the days prior to research and construct the very best traps designed to catch those feisty little
leprechauns. Unfortunately the luck of the Irish was not with the students this year. Not one leprechaun
was caught. Students knew the leprechauns had visited because they left the classrooms a mess. Naughty
little beasts. Good luck next year to GMS students who are sure to catch a leprechaun!

According to our towns website (http://www.hudsonnh.gov) based on
the results of the recount on March 19, 2015, 2,745 total votes were cast. (I
went up by 12 votes. Thank you, Jared Stevens.)
If my math serves me correctly 2745/16433 = .167 or 16.7%. 16.7% of
registered voters in Hudson cared enough about the direction their town is
taking to show up and say something about it. I suggest drawing your own
conclusions about what that means.

Drawing Conclusions about Voter Apathy

First and foremost, thank you to all the people who came out to vote,
even if you did not vote for me.
When things not just political things do not go my way, it is a natural
tendency to try to find out why. Opponents may cite one thing or another
critical of my message. Others may say it is the way I deliver my message.
I had no delusions of grandeur about the outcome of this election. Before
I even declared my candidacy I knew that to win, we were going to need to
get some people out to vote who might not regularly vote in local elections.
According to the Secretary of State (http://www.sos.nh.gov), as of the 2014

On March 14, officers of the Hudson

Police Department participated in
the seventh annual Winni Dip in
Laconia. The Winni Dip is a fundraising
event which takes place at Lake
Winnipesaukee to raise money and
awareness for Special Olympics. The
water was a balmy 33 degrees, but that
did not stop Team HPD from taking
The Dip.
This year, officers from HPD raised
over $6,400 for the charity bringing the
grand total to over $12,000 raised in
just two years. Out of the 18 teams that
participated in the Winni Dip this year,
the Hudson Police Department officers
raised the most money per member,
around $740 each. Kevin Riley led
Team HPD with over $1,000 collected.
Thank you very much to the following officers who took the
dip on March 14: Sgt. Mike Niven, Det. Kevin Riley, MPO Roger
Lamarche, MPO Jason Downey, MPO Derek Lloyd, MPO Adam
Lischinsky, MPO Chris Cavallaro, and Det. Alan Marcotte.
Total collected that day from the law enforcement community and
other supporters of Special Olympics was more than $69,000.
Thank you to the above mentioned officers for their continued
support and dedication to Special Olympics New Hampshire.
The Hudson Police Department has been a long-time partner and
supporter of Special Olympics and will continue to be for years to
come.
If you are interested in supporting team HPD for the Winni Dip
or other Special Olympic sponsored events contact Alan Marcotte
at the Hudson Police Department for more information and/or
upcoming events at 816-2280.

Richard (Rick) Malcolm Small

Richard (Rick) Malcolm Small, 60, of
Nashua, passed away peacefully on March
23, 2015, at the Community Hospice House
in Merrimack, after suffering a debilitating
stroke. He was born in Milo, Maine, on June
21, 1954, the son of the late Charles S. Small
and is survived by his mother, Hattie M.
(Rackliff) Small. He was raised in Litchfield
and attended Alvirne High School.
How do you pack the funny, wild, caring,
compassionate, loving, laughing, amazing
life of Rick Small into this little space? It
wont do the man justice. Our Dad, Papa, son, brother, friend is
bigger than this in so many ways.
Rick worked for many years at Bee Bee Rubber, as a Drywall taper,
and for Allen Mello motors. He was an avid fisherman, cribbage
and horseshoes player, and enjoyed watching the New England
Patriots and NASCAR and he hated the Yankees. He enjoyed
spending time with his family and adored his two sons and grandson
of whom he was forever proud. He loved his dogs that were both
waiting to greet him in heaven, Bear and Benji. Rick will always be
remembered for helping and taking care of his friends, family and
neighbors, his wild personality, sense of humor and ability to have
fun.
In addition to the love of his life, Sandra Tossel, with whom he
enjoyed 16 wonderful years, family members include two sons and a
daughter-in-law, William Small of Manchester, and Russell and Sally
Small of Chester; a grandson, Dominic Small of Chester; siblings,
Robert and Beverly Small, Dennis Small, Roxanne and Charles Ulee,

Nestor Elias Veloz, 81, of
Hudson, died March 21, 2015, at
the Community Hospice House
in Merrimack surrounded by his
loving family.
He was born October 8, 1933,
in Milagro, Ecuador, son of the
late Elias and Rosa Elvira (Lemarie)
Veloz. He was also predeceased
by two brothers, Marcos Veloz and
Dr. Ernesto Veloz.

Nestor was the husband of Blanca (Barragan) Veloz of
Hudson, with whom he shared 53 years of marriage.
Nestor and his wife immigrated to America in 1967
and he was employed at Malden Mills for over 33 years.
Nestor was a proud, religious, loving man who in his
younger years enjoyed fishing at the ocean. He enjoyed
caring for his home by planting flowers and constantly
maintaining his property. He had a sweet tooth and
loved a relaxing moment enjoying vanilla ice cream.
Most of all, he loved joking with his grandchildren.
He had a passion for traveling around the United States
and learning all he could about its history. One of his
greatest qualities was that he was able to accomplish
Charles Small, and Linda Small; two stepchildren, Alex Tossel and
Theresa Tossel Boucher; as well as many nieces, nephews, extended
family and friends who were loved like family. He will be missed by
everyone.
Please join us in a casual celebration of life to include a light
lunch and refreshments on Saturday March 28, at 11 a.m. at
Tabernacle Baptist Church, 242 Derry Rd., in Litchfield. The family
asks that in honor of Rick you share a laugh, story, or memory that
celebrates his life and feel free to post them on his Facebook page.
When a mans stories are remembered, then he is immortal.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you make a donation to
Community Hospice House, 210 Naticook Rd., Merrimack, NH
03054; www.hhhc.org who took care of him and his family in his
final days with grace, compassion, respect and dignity.

Piece of the Pie
The Tax ReturnAGI - A Very Important Number
W.F.Boutin EA - Total Tax Solutions LLC
As you have seen in the last two weeks of articles, the total
income on the return of which the majority is usually wages,
minus certain deductions determine the Adjusted Gross Income
on the return. The AGI is an all important number because it is the
determining factor on whether a deduction or tax credit is
reduced or completely phased out for the taxpayer.
For instance Deductible contributions to Traditional IRA's, the
Student Loan Interest deduction, the Tuition and Fees Deduction,
Itemized Deductions and Personal Exemptions are all reduced or
in some cases phased out completely by the AGI calculated on
the return. The Child Tax Credit, Earned Income Credit, Adoption
Credit and Retirement Savings Credit are all reduced or phased
out by the AGI on the return. The Dependent Care Credit, even
though it is never completely phased out, is reduced from 35% to
20% of expenses incurred based upon the AGI.
Understanding the interaction on the income tax return, and
how certain actions or increases in income can affect multiple
areas of the finished return is of great importance. Of course
further down the road, after standard/itemized deductions and
personal exemptions, we arrive at the taxable income on the
return which jumps into higher tax brackets as this income
increases.
So one of the main goals for many taxpayers should be that if
they have to spend money for certain services, can these expenses
be paid with pre-tax money, therefore lowering the income on the
tax return?
Many employers offer a fringe benefit package with allows
taxpayers to set aside income on a pre-tax basis to pay for items
such as out of pocket expenses for medical bills and daycare
expenses. These type of benefits not only lower the wages for
Federal and State income taxes on the tax return but also lower
the wages subject to Social Security and Medicare Taxes. Medical
insurance purchased through an employer also is pre-taxed for all
four types of wages. 401K contributions help to lower wages
subject to federal and state taxes only, however help the bottom
line for AGI and taxable income.
Taxpayers who have high deductibles on their health insurance
plans may qualify for a deduction by making contributions to a
Health Savings Account. These types of contributions are made
with after tax money however, the deduction is taken on the
income tax return lowering the AGI and taxable income on the
return. Contributions to a deductible IRA work in the same
manner.
John and Mary both work and have one child in daycare. Their
taxable income on their tax return is $10,000 into the 25% tax
bracket. John has the ability through his employer to set aside a
maximum of $5000 for daycare expenses on a pre-tax basis, but
has never taken advantage of this benefit because he gets a tax
credit for the money spent on his tax return. The credit through
the tax return is limited to $3000 worth of expenses for 1 child.
John and Mary get a tax credit of $600. Had they opted for the
benefit through the employer, they would lose the $600 credit on
the return but would have saved $1250 in federal taxes (25%
bracket), $250 in state taxes(5%) and $382.50 (7.65%) in Medicare and SS taxes. That is a savings of $1882.50 vs. $600. (Note:
the maximum pre-tax amount is $5000 per family not per child.
Unlike trying to claim the credit on the return where the expenses
are limited to $3000 per child for the credit, tax law allows the
full $5000 against expenses as a fringe benefit even if only for 1
child.)
John and Mary's AGI on the return was $113,000. Unfortunately, the child tax credit starts to phase out at $110,000.
Therefore their Child Tax Credit was reduced by $150. Had they
contributed to the fringe benefit for child care expenses, their AGI
would have been $108,000 therefore they would have gained an
additional refund of $150.

Girl Scouts Celebrate

Peace through
Partnerships with
World Thinking Day
submitted by Terri Ferullo
Pelham/Hudson Girl Scouts will celebrate World Thinking Day with
the Cinderella movie at Chunkys in Pelham on Sunday, April 12 at
2 p.m. World Thinking Day celebrations are for girls to participate
in activities and projects with global themes to honor their sister Girl
Guides and Girl Scouts in other countries. World Thinking Day is part
of the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts global action
theme and based on the United Nations Millennium Development
Goals, which aim to improve the lives of the worlds poorest people.
The theme this year is to develop partnerships for development, as
girls worldwide say we can create peace through partnerships.
World Thinking Day not only gives girls a chance to celebrate
international friendships, it is also a reminder that Girl Scouts from
the United States are part of a global community, one of nearly
150 countries. The Pelham/Hudson Girl Scouts will focus on the
WAGGGS regions, Africa, Arab Region, Asia/Pacific, Europe and
Western Hemisphere.
Cadet Girl Scout Troop 10886 is hosting the event at Chunkys.
Girl Scout troops and their families are encouraged to attend. Girls
enrolled in scouting should talk to their leaders about participating.
Typically troops select a country and do research about what it is like
to be a Girl Scout in that country. Next they make a poster, an then
learn a song, skit, or dance. Many troops dress up in costumes as
girls would from their country. It is an exciting event that girls look
forward to every year.
This wonderful event on April 12 at 2 p.m. will also be open to
girls who express an interest in Girl Scouts. Girls may attend the
celebration and watch Cinderella with their mother to learn more
about Girl Scouting in Pelham and Hudson. A Girl Scout Council
representative will be at a table to answer any questions people have
about joining Girl Scouts as a girl or leader.
If you have questions, call Troop Leader and Community Recruiter,
Terri Ferullo at 770-8936 or tferullo@gmail.com.

Easter eggs are a centerpiece of many family

traditions come Easter Sunday. Easter eggs symbolize fertility and rebirth to some, but many people
associate Easter eggs with youngsters scouring the
yard in search of treasure.
Whether Easter eggs are associated with secular
or religious beliefs, these colorful staples of Easter
Sunday are an integral part of springtime holiday
decor and celebrations. Certain misconceptions
about Easter eggs have developed over time, and
the following are some of the more common myths
about Easter eggs that have made the rounds.
Myth: Easter eggs are safe to eat after your egg
hunt is over.
Fact: Hard-boiled eggs generally remain safe to
eat at room temperature for about two hours. If the
temperature outside or indoors is very warm, the
eggs should be eaten within one hour. People risk
food-borne illnesses if they consume Easter eggs that
have been left out for several hours or overnight. It
is better to dispose of colored eggs after the annual
egg hunt or at least keep hard-boiled eggs refrigerated until the
hunt begins.
Myth: It is
unsafe to eat
all dyed Easter
eggs.
Fact: Whether
dyed eggs are
safe or not
depends on
the type of dye
used. Many
kits use vegetable-based dyes
that are food-safe. These same
pigments are used in traditional
food coloring. Even if the dye
has penetrated beneath the

shell, it should still be safe
for consumption. Kits for
blown-out eggs may use
dyes that are not food-safe.
Also, people who are allergic to certain food dyes
might want to avoid eating
dyed eggs.
Myth: Pastel-colored
eggs have long-rooted
religious significance.
Fact: An Easter egg hunt
is a tradition that originated with pagan spring
festivals. But like many
pagan practices, Easter
egg hunting was eventually adopted by Christians
and assigned religious
significance. In the Orthodox and Eastern Catholic
Churches, Easter eggs are
dyed red to represent the
blood of Christ shed on the
cross. The hard shell of the
egg symbolizes the sealed
Tomb of Christ for many. In
A.D. 1610 under Pope Paul
V, the Christian Church officially adopted the Easter
egg custom that the eggs
symbolize the resurrection.
Myth: An Easter egg roll
is an American tradition.
Fact: In Germany, England and other countries, children traditionally rolled eggs down hillsides at Easter. This practice may have
initially symbolized the rolling away of the rock from Jesus Christs
tomb before his resurrection.
When European immigrants
arrived in North America,
they brought these Easter egg
traditions with them. One of the
more popular Easter egg rolls
of modern day takes place on
the White House lawn, where
children push an egg through
the grass with a long-handled
spoon. Some say this tradition
was established by Dolly Madison in 1814.
Myth: A raw egg will stand on
end during the spring equinox.

The premises outside the Hudson Community Center last Tuesday
looked liked voting day with nearly every parking spot occupied as
residents came and went throughout the day. The 53rd semi-annual
Hudson Police Blood Drive yielded a total of 294 pints of blood for the
Red Cross, which surpassed their goal of 250 pints. The Hudson Police
Department, along with volunteers from the Hudson/Litchfield Rotary
Club, Digital Federal Credit Union and the Hudson Police Explorers, all
chipped in to make the event possible.
We cant do this without everybody, said Hudson Police Information
Manager Jamie Iskra, who coordinated the blood drive. The community
support from all the donors and businesses is what made today a
success.
The police department members set up for the drive, registered donors,
and gathered the donated food items and served them to blood donors
after their donation. Many police officers could also be found donating
as well.
It comes with the job. Its part of what we do to help people, and its
a way to interact with the Hudson citizens, said Officer Roger Lamarche.
Many residents were pleased with the hospitality and the generous
meals supplied after their donation.

Attorney Amy Breault

Expands Services
by Marc Ayotte
Conveniently located at 238 Central Street
in Hudson, the Attorney office of Amy Breault,
Esquire, recently added the services of marital
mediation, an increasingly integral part of her law
practice which focuses on Family Law. In January
of 2015, Attorney Breault became certified as a
Marital Mediator, having gone through extensive
training and an internship which culminated in
being approved by the Board of Marital Mediation.
Breault, a resident of Pelham, received her high
school education in Pelham before moving on
to obtain her Bachelor
of Science degree
from Marist College in
Poughkeepsie, N.Y., in
1997. She then attended
Suffolk University Law
School in Boston, Mass.,
where she earned a Juris
Doctor degree in 2001.
Attorney Breault is very
active outside her law
practice as well; currently
serving on the Board of
the Hudson Chamber of
Commerce, and a member
of the Greater Hudson
Business Networkers. She
is also a member of the
American Bar Association,
New Hampshire Bar Association, New Hampshire
Association of Justice, National Association of Elder
Law Attorneys, and Nashua Bar Association.
With statistical interpretation varying as to
the actual divorce rate, the fact remains that a
significant percentage of marriages end before the
til death do us part element of the marital vows.
Relatedly, and in recent years, a contributing
factor to the lessening number of ugly divorces has
been the practice of marital mediation. Breault is
excited about her expansion into the mediation
aspect of helping couples with marital issues;
citing affordability as well as more effective
communication as just two of the many benefits of
assisting clients to handle their divorce amicably.
In an excerpt found in an article on Mediate.
com, a brief synopsis of the process says; Marital
Mediation uses mediation techniques to open and
improve lines of communication, helps couples
address areas of friction in their relationship, and
develop guidelines that focus on the behavioral
changes each person will make in order to lessen
future conflict.
In the mediation process, one can be assured
of receiving the same professional expertise as
ESTATE PLANNING- ITS YOUR FUTURE
is experienced with all the aspects of her Family

Law practice, which in addition to divorce
representation includes parenting, child support,
alimony, prenup/postnup agreements, as well as
the termination of parental rights. I am dedicated
to providing clients with ethical, affordable, and
competent legal representation, offered Breault.
And in emphasizing her ability to address
each clients varying needs and situation, she
added; I provide clients with personalized
attention in representation and counseling. From
minimizing legal troubles before they happen,
to resolving issues and
disputes after they have
arisen, your unique
need will be the focus
of the attorney/client
relationship. Reflective
of her attention to detail
and the importance of
transparency placed
on each client, Breault
notes; I am candid with
my clients, providing
information about not
only what I think the
divorce or legal matter
will cost them, but also
explaining if there are
holes or any problems
with the case that I
anticipate having to work through.
One of the other major focuses of Breaults
law practice is Estate Planning, including trusts,
power of attorney, health care directives, Medicaid
planning, probate and guardianship. Additionally,
Breault offers; I also focus on such estate planning
matters as business succession planning, estate
administration, guardianships, contested probate
matters, and the creation and administration of
Sweetheart wills, Simple Wills with Advance
Directives with a Drop-down Trust as well as Wills
with Advance Directives with a Tax Planning Trust.
Accordingly, Breault emphasizes the importance
of being thorough regarding the process of estate
planning, saying; Estate planning may be carried
out with simple legal documents such as wills and
trusts, however, without the help of an experienced
attorney, planning for the future can become
incredibly complicated. Its here again that the
service she provides to her clients individual needs
and circumstances is of paramount importance.

Early Start Learning Academy:

Providing Education in a
Child Care Environment
by Marc Ayotte
One of the most difficult issues facing families
today is finding an effective balance between
parents going to work and securing adequate
child care for their children. In a day and age
when both parents are forced to work to make
ends meet, the need for obtaining child care is
becoming increasingly important.
Locating a place that will offer a trusted and
acceptable combination of child care, safety,
and education is a formidable task. Early Start
Learning Academy and Child Care, conveniently
located minutes away from Benson Park and the
Senior Center in Hudson, stands apart from the
rest; making it the definitive choice for parents
in meeting that objective. And one of the major
contributors for that being the case is that they are
the only Licensed Plus center in Hudson.
Put simply, it represents a quality rating that
recognizes New Hampshire child care programs
that go above and beyond the requirements put
in place by the Childcare Licensing Bureau.
Additionally, the Center has received the Safety
1st award for having demonstrated a professional
and responsible commitment to safety, as can
be found in the classroom as well as in their
spacious, natural playgrounds designated for child
interaction and the development of motor skills.
With the business, formerly known as Early Start
Childrens Center, current owner, Kathy Nolan,
and her daughters, Sherry Nolan-St. George and
Karen Nolan-Richardson, have shifted the area of
concentration to a multi-aspect approach. There
is now an emphasis on education over a day
care philosophy, and it is depicted in their new
slogan: The building blocks to social, emotional &
academic achievement.
Kathy has 35 years of Early Childhood education
experience, a Bachelor of Science degree in
Elementary Education and Psychology and had
owned and solely operated a successful preschool
business in Dracut, Mass., for 20 years called
Building Blocks Nursery. In 2000 she opened
up the Hudson location and ran both schools
simultaneously until 2005. The following year,
daughters Sherry and Karen took the reins of the
Dracut location until this past year when the two
relocated, along with the business, to the Hudson
location in the consolidation move.
ESLA, as it is now referred to, is implementing
a new approach as a result of the two businesses
becoming one. We are combining what we have
as a child care in Hudson with Kathys building
blocks philosophy of education, expressed Kathy
Nolan. Elaborating on her mothers comment,
Sherry offered a comparison that reflects the shift

in emphasis: Before, we provided child care with
an education. Now, were trying to be a school
with child care attached to it.
The curriculum is well coordinated and
comprehensive, with teachers at the Academy
being required to understand the hows and whys
of the designated lessons, so that they are better
prepared to communicate the importance to the
children.
As part of the curriculum, an extensive screening
process is used by ESLA to make sure that children
can hear the differences in sounds. We teach
letters, words and sounds, explained Sherry. We
do it with seven different methods contained in
the Multi-Sensory Program. She continued by
saying, Reading actually starts with how you hear,
not what you see. With respect to the screening
process, she noted that; if you have a three year
old who cant rhyme, thats a red flag for us and
we want to get their hearing checked. Involved
directly with this aspect of the operation is her
sister, Karen, who is the curriculum coordinator
and has a masters in Special Needs. Additionally,
she is certified as a reading specialist in the
aforementioned Institute for Multi-Sensory reading
program.
The classroom sizes are designed to most
effectively teach each of the respective age groups,
as evidenced not only in the low student to teacher
ratios, but also in the actual number of students
per teacher. The age groups are broken up into
four categories; 18 months 3 years, 6:1 ration;
3-4 year olds, 8:1; 4-5 year olds, 12:1 and 5-6 year
olds (kindergarten) having 15 children per teacher.
As such, the academy offers a variety of
programs within the curriculum, including
Handwriting without Tears, Beginning Reading
Series, a Phonemic Awareness program and
weekly visits with the ESLA librarian. With all
of the teachers having degrees as well as being
certified with the state, the staff takes an interest in
the personal development of each child. And as
Kathy points out with respect to each child, the
whole child needs to be ready to be successful;
he/she must have confidence, self-esteem and be
excited to learn.
ESLA is open Monday through Friday and also
has an extended hour schedule to accommodate
families who need to have their children watched
longer than the ordinary 8-3 school day. For

Join Kiwanis as we honor Hudson Residents

over 25 years of service
Meetings 1st & 3rd Monday at Kiwanis Hall, 14 Melendy Rd, Hudson, NH.
The success of Kiwanis in local communities

results from the strong and active service of
thousands of Kiwanis-club members. In fact,
many Kiwanians have been club members for 25
years or more. Kiwanis of Hudson, N.H., will be
honoring Legion of Honor Award members April
6 at 7 p.m. at Kiwanis Hall, Melendy Road in
Hudson.
It is such an honor to recognize some of the
long time members who have worked for many
years, and essentially kept the Kiwanis Club
in Hudson going, explained President Paul
Rousseau.
To be eligible, a Kiwanian must have at least 25
years of Kiwanis-club membership. (The 25 years
do not have to be consecutive, and they can be
accumulated in more than one club.)
After recognition for 25 years of service, a
member is again eligible to receive the award for
30 years, again for 35 years and so on. A member
is eligible for each when he or she is within six
months of the reaching that
milestone.
Receiving the honors are
Michael Burton, James E
Carlen, Arthur J McAleer,
James J Rousseau, Claude
Turcotte, Daniel M Zelonis,
and Frank Wolfenden.
Other members will be
honored for Merit, which
includes five years or more
of service.
Kiwanis is a global
organization of volunteers dedicated to improving
the world one child and one community at a
time. The six permanent Objects of Kiwanis
International were approved in 1924 and have
remained unchanged for decades.
To give primacy to the human and spiritual rather
than to the material values of life.
To encourage the daily living of the Golden Rule in
all human relationships.
To promote the adoption and the application of
higher social, business, and professional standards.
To develop, by precept and example, a more
intelligent, aggressive, and serviceable citizenship.
To provide, through Kiwanis clubs, a practical
means to form enduring friendships, to render altruistic
service, and to build better communities.
To cooperate in creating and maintaining that
sound public opinion and high idealism which
make possible the increase of righteousness, justice,
patriotism, and goodwill.
No two Kiwanis clubs look exactly the same.
Each members and communitys needs are
different, and each club looks different. Some clubs

are very traditional, with weekly meetings and a
strong sense of history. Other clubs dont meet
at all, and instead hold meetings online and only
come together for service projects. Newer clubs
may follow the 3-2-1 concept: 3 hours of service, 2
hours of social activity, and a 1 hour meeting each
month. Clubs tend to reflect their communities
and their members and work to meet their needs.
Flexibility is key to a successful club.
Service is at the heart of every Kiwanis club, no
matter where in the world its located. Kiwanis
members stage nearly 150,000 service projects,
devote more than 6 million hours of service,
and raise nearly U.S. $100 million every year for
communities, families and projects. Key Club
members pitch in 12 million hours of service each
year, and CKI members another 500,000 hours of
service. Club members donate another 92,000
hours of service every year. Add it all up, and thats
more than 18 million hours of service every year!
The local Hudson
Kiwanis club recently
celebrated its 40th
anniversary. Originally
an offshoot of the Nashua
club, there are still some
members who came to
Hudson from the Nashua
club, which joined forces
with Hudson due to an
aging membership and low
numbers.
The Hudson club
sponsors two high school Key Clubs, one at
Campbell High in Litchfield and one at Alvirne
High in Hudson. Key clubs are the high school
service club extension of Kiwanis. The kids
participate in service and leadership projects
throughout the year. Many key clubbers go on
to continue volunteerism in college and beyond,
giving back to their communities and the children
locally.
Kiwanis is always looking for people who want to
help with community projects, organize events and
local fundraisers, or who just want to meet some
new, like-minded friends.
Hudson Kiwanis meets at 14 Melendy Road
(Hudson Bingo Hall) in Hudson on the first and
third Monday of each month. The Hudson club
is looking to partner with folks who have a heart
for helping out in Hudson and the surrounding
communities.

Londonderry Flea Market

Celebrates 25 Years of
Bargain-Hunting Fun
Courtesy photo
by Marc Ayotte
His daughter used to go to a flea market on
Sundays to sell her unwanted items. One day
he and his daughter were at Grandview Flea
Market in Derry, perusing the grounds; there was
wall-to-wall people. I mean it was packed. We
looked at each other and said Wow, recalled
Pete Sapatis, patriarch of the family operated and
iconic landmark known as Londonderry Flea
Market.
That was the impetus that helped grow his
10-vendor location at the time to a massive
undertaking, spread over 30 acres that reflects
300 vendors and thousands of customers who
visit the Londonderry location every Saturday
and Sunday from April to October. We open the
first Saturday after Tax Day and close the last
weekend in October, offered Sapatis, who noted
that this year as the calendar falls, would be the
dates of April 18 through Nov. 1.
The concept really came from my daughter,
recalls the original owner of the flea market
endeavor, of his daughter, Alaina Paul. Since he
received planning board approval back in April of
91, Sapatis, his daughter, his right hand woman,
Linda Morrow, grandchildren and other valued
employees are there every weekend morning at 6
a.m. to receive the vendors as they prepare for the
multitude of people who canvas the grounds.
On Sunday morning at 8 oclock when the
bell rings, a hundred people come flying out
onto the flea market grounds, expressed Sapatis
of the early bargain hunters. Accordingly, and
in the interest of maintaining order, there is
a Londonderry police officer on the grounds
every Sunday; Its nice to have him be seen
by customers and vendors, said the Air Force
Retired Col. Sapatis.
I had only been to a flea market once in my
life, recounted Sapatis of his trip to a New Jersey
operation. I thought I would only have to work
on Sunday. Let me tell you, its a seven-day-aweek job. With 10 vendors it wasnt, but today
it is. Sapatis credits Morrow for an excellent
job in handling the paper work associated with
monitoring such an operation. The paper work

is so immense; its constant and changing with
handling the flux of different vendors from week
to week.
He also takes pride in the widespread selection
of old and new items that his vendors have
for sale. The flea market is made up of fifty
percent recycle and fifty percent new items,
said Sapatis, giving the nod to the old items
as the major draw. A natural marketer, Sapatis
efforts constantly attempt to keep things fresh
and enticing; incentivizing both customers and
vendors, alike. From day one Ive encouraged
anything new, I try to give it a fair atmosphere,
but we dont have fair prices, he offered
jokingly of the many low-priced items sold
there, including kettle corn, fried dough, pizza
as well as burgers and hot dogs available at the
concession stand operated by his daughter.
About 10 years ago, the flea market started
opening on Saturdays. At present, admission
prices are still very consumer friendly. For
customers 12 to 61 in age, the cost is $1 while for
those under 12 years old as well as 62 and over
they never pay, said Sapatis. Additionally, if you
pay $1 on Saturday, that entitles you to cruise the
grounds again on Sunday, at no additional cost.
Also, on the last Saturday of each month, senior
citizens (62 and older) receive a $1 gold coin,
complements of the Londonderry Flea Market.
But it hasnt always been a picnic at the flea
market for Sapatis and his family, having gone
through recent litigation involving concerns over
certain products being sold by select vendors.
The flea market survived a lawsuit from Coach,
conveyed Sapatis, while confidently adding; we
were completely exonerated in federal court of
selling counterfeit products.
On Sundays we allow dogs, as long as they
are on a leash, explained Sapatis with yet
another attempt to make customers experience
at his flea market that much more enjoyable.
Walking your dog and shopping there arent
many places you can do that.

Insurance is one of lifes necessities, a vehicle
used to protect our material assets, business
interests, personal health as well as caring for
those we leave behind as a result of our death.
Finding the appropriate coverage at an affordable
premium also can be a time-consuming, laborious
and nerve-racking endeavor. Facilitating the
process is an insurance agent who has years of
experience in providing consumers with their
respective insurance needs. For those of you in
the southern New Hampshire area, you have the
services of French Insurance Agency located at
your very fingertips.
Approaching 90 years of serving all of NH
as well as the state of Maine, the local business
was established back in 1928 by Harold French,
the grandfather of current owner, Rick French,
and his sister, Carol Angell, who also works at
the agency. With a staff of licensed insurance
agents that offers a combined 100-plus years of
insurance experience, the French Agency offers
to their clients, a personal, diligent and hands-on
experience by meeting their needs via several
insurance companies. We pride ourselves
with the level of personal service we offer our
clients, conveyed Rick French, who lives in the
community to whom his business serves.
With an emphasis on finding their clients the
best-fitting auto, home and business policies
available in the market place, French expounded
upon the products that the local business has
to offer: We offer our customers a wide variety
of insurance products that cover automobiles,
homes, mobile homes, other personal or business
property, motorcycles and recreational vehicles.
French Insurance deals with a multitude of
companies including Travelers, Safeco, Mt.

Washington, Commerce, Safety, Providence,
Hingham, Ohio Mutual and Liberty Mutual.
Additionally, the agency has a strong business
relationship with Anthem, Assurant Health, Mass
Mutual and Genworth Life; assisting you in your
attempt and need to keep current with your
personal life and health insurance needs.
Located in the center of Hudson, French
Insurance adds customer-friendly access to its
professional service. Either by calling them or
by visiting the staff in the office located at 12
Derry Street, you are assured of receiving quick,
courteous and professional service. When the
phone rings, a live person will answer the call,
expressed French. Elaborating on the agencys
philosophy of dealing directly with its valued
customers, French assures prospective customers
of his attention to detail; they are, therefore,
better able to assist the individual with their
specific insurance needs. Finally, if a claim arises
and there is difficulty or delays, we will assist the
insured until the claim is resolved.
As well as serving the local townspeople with
their various insurance scenarios, French, who has
been a member of the Hudson-Litchfield Rotary
for 30 years, plays a vital role in town sports and
activities; supporting through donations, Hudson
youth sports, Alvirne sport teams and the Alvirne
High School Band.
For more information on how the French
Insurance Agency can assist you with your
insurance needs, call 882-9532, e-mail Rick
French directly at: rickafrench@comcast.

Dear Readers;
I feel obligated to point

todays thumbs have giant
errors in them. While I

I want you to be extra
cautious to understand
that many of the thumbs

town budgeting or how
things operate. The school
department does not have
a $20 million surplus. By
law any surplus is returned
to the taxpayer. No Hudson

brochure that you received
about the school employee

the union and not by the

Parents and students worked hard
in the gym competing against

there was an activity in every
classroom, there were many
activities to choose from. Students
could participate in games ranging
from Vocabulary Hedbanz to Ring

they were finished, students turned
tickets in for a chance to win
raffle baskets that were generously
donated by GMS families. All in

Car Suspended over River after Crash

submitted by David S. Morin, HFD Information Liaison
Hudson and Nashua firefighters on Saturday, March 21, were
alerted to a motor vehicle crash on the Sagamore Bridge at 3:35 p.m.
Hudson Fire Alarm received a phone call from an off-duty Hudson
firefighter reporting a single vehicle hanging over the river on the
guard rail. On arrival Hudson Medic 4 reported the vehicle on top
of the rail with the rear of the car suspended over the river. The
driver had self extricated from the vehicle before emergency crews
arrived on the scene.
Firefighters secured the vehicle and evaluated the driver who was
shaken up but not injured.
The crash took place on the Nashua side of the bridge, and the
scene was turned over to Nashua Fire Rescue on their arrival.
One ambulance, one squad and one command vehicle staffed by
six firefighters from the Central and Burns Hill fire stations along with
a Nashua engine, tower ladder and command vehicle responded to
the scene.

Hudson Meteorologist Takes Some Unpredictable Roads

Fellow meteorologist
John Colemen, left,
convinced Joe DAleo
to come to
Chicago and help
him develop an allweather channel that
ultimately became
The Weather
Channel.
Joe DAleo during

his days in
Atlanta at The
Weather Channel

by Sue Krzeminski
A hurricane named Carol introduced the eight-year-old boy to
severe weather. As it was too late to evacuate from the island rental
home on Long Island, the DAleo family rode out the storm from
the second floor. Of course, the boys fear was undeniable, but his
curiosity had been piqued.
His interest became fully ignited as a teenager during the stormy
winter of 1960-61 when he walked through Brooklyn, amazed that
the snow reached his waist. Joe DAleo was officially hooked on
meteorology. Still, who wouldve predicted that this inquisitive
young man would go on to co-found The Weather Channel?
Now a meteorologist for Weatherbell Analytics, Hudsons DAleo
provides forecasts for an array of energy, agricultural and retail
clients. He even manages to write a blog each day that explores a
different weather topic. Today, he still enjoys his seven-day-a-week
job, but is quite happy to forgo the long commutes of the past and
instead work out of his home of 27 years.
Although Joe, the oldest of three boys, grew up among a bevy of
writers a financial editor, a TV critic, and a poet/playwright-- his
family was quick to support his scientific career path. He made
his way to the University of Wisconsin, which had a respected
meteorology program. There he earned his bachelors and masters
degrees and then headed back to New York City to pursue his
doctorate at New York University while working for CBS as a weather
producer. After four years, when the NYU program shut down,
DAleo left for Vermont to help build a fledgling college meteorology
program that, over the past 40 years, went on to produce many of
the local forecasters and broadcasters working in television.
Known as an expert on East Coast storms because of his
dissertation work, DAleo got an offer that would eventually turn
into something bigger than anyone could have ever imagined. The
call came from meteorologist John Coleman about developing a
cable network (like CNN did for news) devoted solely to weather.
Coleman asked DAleo to come to Chicago and help him figure
out the logistics. DAleo agreed, so he and his wife, Emily, and two
young daughters moved there; he took on an overnight role as a

weather producer for John on ABCs Good Morning America, while
days were spent with Coleman trying to figure out this weather
channel thing.
At times, DAleo felt like Sancho Panza following Don Quixote
on his impossible dream ride. Some people laughed at us at first,
he admitted. A lot of skeptics felt viewers just would not turn in to
see 24/7 weather reporting. And yet, after a year, Coleman secured
funding and The Weather Channel was born. The Weather Channel
became an instant success because, for the first time, people could
get immediate weather updates whenever they needed them. By
November 1981, Joe and his family had moved to Atlanta to get the
channel off the ground. Within three months, 64 meteorologists had
been hired from all over the country, and the lights were turned on
at The Weather Channel on May 2, 1982.
A great resource that DAleo tapped into was a pool of
meteorologists he was very familiar with from his six years teaching
at Lynden State College in Vermont. While teaching there, he had
built a strong meteorology program, including the nations first
student-run cable station. Two of his former students even went on
to work for NASA as shuttle launch forecasters, another became CEO
of the largest aviation forecasting business, and dozens succeeded
as big market television broadcasters. From this expansive field of
contacts, DAleo was able to draw the ideal meteorologists to fill
specific roles at The Weather Channel. These newly minted weather
prognosticators were enthusiastic and happy for the opportunity to
be a part of the ground-breaking venture.
DAleos teaching philosophy has always been a positive one:
Teach people how to think not what to think. Give them the tools

they need and let them find the connection. Two years ago, a
Lyndon meteorology reunion brought back more than 100 former
students, many of whom were from the earliest graduating classes.
Everyone really cared about this little program, he explained.
Lyndon administrators bestowed DAleo with an honorary doctorate
because of his contribution to the schools curriculum as well as the
field of meteorology in general.
Sometimes DAleo wonders about the forks in the road he took
along the way. What if he had stayed in New York City or what if
he had continued teaching in Vermont? I never had a road map,
but I feel like Ive done everything Ive wanted to do in the field, he
commented. (There are) students everywhere I keep in touch with.
This Hudson-based meteorologist is content with where life has
led him. He and his wife, a retired registered nurse, have two grown
daughters (neither went into meteorology) and three granddaughters.
Like everyone in the Boston area, they are happy that the historically
cold and snowy winter is over. Joe DAleo makes a prediction about
the upcoming weather here in Hudson: Eventually the sun will win
out and we will have spring.

There are dozens of prominent citizens of
Hudson throughout the towns rich history. Two
of these citizens have collaborated to produce a
collection of history records of some of the most
noteworthy townspeople who over the years
played a part in making Hudson the community it
is today. The Jasper couple was at the George H.
and Ella M. Rodgers Memorial Library on Sunday
to kickoff the launch of their book, Legendary
Locals of Hudson. The duo, along with other
notable residents mentioned in the book, signed
copies of the book for the public.
Shawn Jasper is a fourth-generation Hudson
native who is the current Speaker of the New
Hampshire House of Representatives and has
also served on the Hudson Board of Selectmen
and many other town boards. Laurie Jasper is a
member of the Hudson Genealogy Committee,
the clerk for the Hudson Historical Society in the
1990s, and currently works at the library. Laurie
was first contacted by the publishing company
Arcadia Publishing about writing a history of
Hudson since she had previously published
Hudson: Images in America, which told the
towns history mostly through photographs.

Bastien took over as Alvirne music director in
1996 when the program had only 32 students
and has expanded it to a program now with
195 students. Bastien began the long-standing
tradition of the schools Cabaret concert, which
is always known around town as being a sold-out
event.
Former Alvirne vocational teacher and
Vocational Director Wilbur H. Palmer was
included in the book and on hand at the library

It was an honor to be in Hudson. My greatest
reward is the number of former students that call
me and come visit me. Its unbelievable, Palmer
said.
The current Wilbur H. Palmer Vocational Center
was named after Palmer when it opened in 1992.
During his time at Alvirne, Palmer built up the
vocational studies and advocated for the funding
of a vocational center and received a grant from
the state for $6.3 million for the building.
Without him we wouldnt have the vocational
school. He knew every inch of that school and
did everything with it, longtime resident Shirley

Oh the Places Youll Go was the fun and apt theme
of Caties Closet annual gala and auctions at the Andover
Country Club on March 21. It was a triumphant event with
400-plus supporters celebrating not only the fifth anniversary
of Caties Closet, but also its thriving success.
As Caties Closet chairperson, Anne-Marie Bisson,
passionately shared, The first closet was opened in May of
2010 as a tribute to my daughter Catie who passed away five
years ago. Students living in poverty face insurmountable
odds daily. Some dont know where their next meal will
come from and others may not have a home. They all face
the challenge of trying to fit in with their peers. Thats where
Caties Closet comes in.
Caties Closet improves school attendance and
performance by providing like-new clothing, toiletries and
school supplies to students living in poverty discreetly
accessible in their school and free of charge. The concept
has evolved over the past five years from a familysponsored project into a dynamic social enterprise. From
its initial closet, opened in Lowell High School in 2010, the
non-profit now has 25 in-school closets serving more than
12,000 K-12 students in need throughout the Merrimack
Valley up from 16 schools and 6,000 students last year. The
program helps boost kids self-esteem and alleviates the social
stigma and visible burden of poverty.
By removing barriers and the peer pressures from the
appearance of poverty, kids are more likely to go to school
regularly, focus on their education and succeed in ways that open
their world, stated Bisson.
Hudson is an important Caties Closet hub and home to three
of the 25 CC in-school stores, thanks in large part to the diligent
efforts of another Bisson (Caties Aunt) - Hudsons Laura Bisson,
CC co-founder and board member. The fifth CC in-school store
was launched in late 2011 at Nottingham West, which serves all of
Hudsons elementary students and is championed by Pat Maglio.
Hudson Memorial School quickly followed in early 2012 and is
currently overseen by HMS staff member, Mary Jo Howe. Alvirne
High Schools closet was opened in late 2012 and is championed
by Sue Piper. Three other NH closets are in Nashua schools at
Dr. Crisp Elementary, Elm Street Middle School and Fairgrounds
Elementary.
It is so incredible to see how much the community has
supported Caties Closet for the past five years through donations,
volunteerism, and financial support, thankfully commented Laura
Bisson. When we ensure all students have the basic necessities
and clothing to succeed in school - when kids feel like they fit in they come to and succeed more in school.
Im so amazed that what started as an idea to open one closet
in Lowell has now grown to 25 closets, and our waiting list keeps
growing, humbly concluded Laura.
For her many contributions to the Hudson community, including
two terms and chair of the Hudson School Board, Laura Bisson
will also be honored as Hudson Citizen of the Year at the Hudson
Chamber of Commerces 46th Annual Awards Dinner on March 31.
Lynne Baril, volunteer coordinator of more than 200 Caties
Closet volunteers, tied success of the program to the amazing
volunteers that give of their time effortlessly and with compassion.
She also presented CCs only Volunteer of the Year Award to Sue
Piper, Alvirnes School Counseling office administrative assistant
since 2005.
Sue Piper, frequently accompanied by her 12-year-old daughter
Janelle, volunteers in the heart of Caties Closet the expanded
distribution center in Dracut, Mass., which opened in the fall of
2013 and processed more than 250,000 items last year alone. In
addition, Piper has also served as Alvirnes closet champion in AHS
room 112 since last September. Janelle and I are very excited and
proud to represent Caties Closet, enthused Piper. From the first
Saturday we volunteered at the Distribution Center 14 months ago
we have felt like we just belong there.

Dont Forget Headlights When

Performing Routine Maintenance
Veteran and even novice drivers understand the importance of
visibility when they get behind the wheel of their vehicles. When
visibility is not an issue, drivers can more easily see their fellow
motorists and better anticipate potentially dangerous situations. But
when visibility is compromised, drivers and their passengers are
vulnerable to a host of dangers, including inclement weather and
aggressive motorists.
Many things can affect drivers visibility on the road, but those
who take a proactive approach to improving their visibility can put
themselves in a better position to handle any negative situations that

Standard headlight bulbs (left) vs. Philips X-tremeVision bulbs (right) that provide up to 100 percent more light on the road.
may arise. One of the ways to do just that is to pay more attention to
your headlights. Often overlooked when performing routine vehicle
maintenance, headlights must be maintained to ensure optimal visibility for drivers.
The following are a few ways drivers can improve the performance
of their headlights to make their vehicles safer for themselves and
their passengers.
Pay attention to the headlights output. Perhaps the most noticeable indicator of an aging headlight is its light output. As bulbs
start to dim, drivers may find themselves struggling to see during
twilight and at night. That difficulty is not necessarily because drivers own vision is failing, but may be a result of aging bulbs whose
light output is gradually reduced by the effects of humidity, electrical resistance and filament fatigue. Drivers who
notice their headlights are not producing as much
light as they once did should know that reduced
output is a telltale sign of aging bulbs that need to
be replaced.
Say so long to the status quo. Recognizing
dimming bulbs is just the first step toward improving the performance of your headlights. The next
step is for drivers to recognize that all headlight
bulbs are not created equal. Instead of replacing existing bulbs with the same type of bulbs
provided by their vehicles manufacturer, drivers
can vastly improve their visibility by upgrading
to a bulb designed to provide more light than the
standard halogen bulbs found in
many of todays vehicles. Leading automotive lighting manufacturer Philips produces a range
of Upgrade Headlight Bulbs that
Your BMW and MINI Service Alternative
One Industrial Drive

(Rt. 111, Hudson, NH
603-882-3400
www.3Dautoworks.com
offer up to 100 percent more light on the road than standard halogen
bulbs. Thats a significant benefit to drivers, as motorists visual
acuity is reduced by 70 percent at night, when statistics from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration indicate 49 percent of
all fatal accidents occur. The NHTSA also notes that the fatality rate
per mile driven at night is roughly three times as high as it is during
daylight hours.
Find the right fit. The right headlight bulb can dramatically improve visibility when driving at night, but whats good for the goose
is not always good for the gander. Thats because motorists drive for
various reasons and on various roads, so the right bulb for seniors
who dont often take to the highways will not necessarily be the best
fit for commuters who routinely drive long distances. Philips makes a
headlight bulb for every type of driver, and each Upgrade Headlight
Bulb creates a better beam pattern that is dramatically longer than
that provided by standard halogen lights, ensuring drivers can safely
see no matter how accustomed they are to driving at night.
Let there be light. Regardless of how effective a bulb has the
potential to be, drivers who dont routinely clean their headlights
will continue to have their visibility compromised. Certain preventative measures can help drivers address headlight issues before they
appear, ensuring their visibility is not compromised. When checking
your oil in the driveway or even when youre filling up at the gas
station, take a few moments to inspect your headlights and address
any issues that arise as soon as possible. The Philips Headlight Restoration Kit includes a post-treatment that provides long-lasting UV
protection for headlight lenses. The kit also includes a cleaner/polish
and restorer/protector so drivers can restore their headlight lenses to
like new quality while increasing visibility and reducing glare in as
little as 30 minutes. Such quick and simple maintenance can ensure
your headlights are performing optimally.

For the second year in a row, the Hudson All
Stars, coached by Dave Yates and Jim Tomaswick,
returned to win the Manchester Suburban League
Championship.
The boys had a great season going 12-0 to remain
undefeated during their regular season. They
fought hard during the playoffs to make it to the
championship game against a tough Hooksett team
who had their sights on the team all year.
During the game, the offense was led by Eric
Allard, Jake Dufour, and Jared Graham, all of whom
topped the team in assists. The majority of the
teams points came from the Hudson teams big men,
Ben Mullett, Brendan Graham, and Colby Carlisle,
who scored a combined 16 points. The defensive
strengths of Richie Thibeault, Calvin Durham, Owen
Hartson, and JJ Dziegal held the Hooksett team to
just 14 points. It was truly a team effort.
Congratulations to the team and their coaches and
thanks for a great season.

Alvirne-Pelham Hockey Enjoys Inaugural Banquet
by Marc Ayotte
For six years the Friends of Alvirne Ice Hockey
organization has been a cohesive and strongly
supportive group for the hockey team at the
Hudson high school. In addition to their many
fundraisers to help fund the teams participation
in NHIAA hockey, the organization has held
year-end banquets; recognizing both team and
individual accomplishments during the course of
the season.
This time that year-end celebration took a turn
as Alvirne went from exclusively suiting up their
own Bronco skaters, to joining forces with six
Pelham High hockey players; forming the co-op
team called the Avalanche. On Sunday, March
22 at The White Birch Catering & Banquet Hall
in Hudson, the new version of Friends of Alvirne
Ice Hockey paid tribute to the players who in
previous years competed in D-II and D-3, and in
their first year as the Avs, stepped up a notch to
compete in Division I.
The three-hour event featured a roll call of
thank yous to the many volunteers responsible
for making the organization and the sport, a very
prominent aspect of the AHS athletic program.
Afterwards, the players and parents listened to
guest speaker, Tom King, sports writer for the
Nashua Telegraph. The longtime writer shared
stories and his experiences of covering local
professional sports teams, such as the Bruins and
Patriots, as well as his thoughts on the status of
NH high school hockey.
Soon after a brief question-and-answer session,
the recent season and their formative years.

Wrapping up the evening was the presentation of
a variety of awards to individual players for their
effort during the 2014-15 hockey campaign.
Starting things off was the presentation of Fun
Awards by Brian Gould. According to the Bronco
Head Coach, who just finished his sixth year
behind the bench, the awards were presented
in jest; a way of recalling the in locker room
camaraderie experienced throughout the season.
Among some of the unconventional distinctions
were: Best Hair Award Justin Hudgins; Longest
Stick Award Patrick DeVito (who also competed
in the Senior All-Star game the day before at the
Exeter Rinks); Prom King Award Devin Herling;
Last One Out Award Brett Pitre; Wheres my
Shirt Award Brad Brock, and Most Tidy Locker
Award that went to senior defenseman, Ryan
Gamst.
On the serious side of the ledger, Leadership
Awards were presented to the trio of Patrick
DeVito, Cam Blake and goalie Curtis Richall,
who also received the Team MVP award (by the
coaching staff) earlier in the week at the AHS
awards night. Among the other players bringing
home the hockey hardware were: Bobby Haverty,
Cam Blake & Brett Pitre for the Sportsmanship
Award; Matt Lubinski 7th Player Award; Doug
Herling Rookie of the Year Award; Brad Brock
Utility Man of the Year Award and Brendan Parent
who was voted Player of the Year, by the Friends of
Alvirne Ice Hockey.

meal that featured breaded chicken breast, ham,
rice, French fries and tossed salad, which was
followed by a team photo cake for dessert.

HMS Cheerleading Wins Again

submitted by Liz McGivern
Once again, the Hudson Middle
School cheerleading team earned
first place at the Guertin Classic
competition on Saturday, March 7.
The HMS Colts scored 85.9 points
with no safety deductions, which
beat both Salem and Hood by four
points. The team also scored higher
than every other team in their session,
which earned them grand champion
status.
Team members Jocelyn Fielding,
Madison Hoyt, Victoria Ciardiello and
Hannah Covey added new tumbling
and stunting skills to the routine on
Saturday.
The team now has one grand
champion win, three first-place wins
and one second-place trophy this
season. Their last competition of the
season will be the state competition
on Saturday, March 14 at Nashua
South, where they will compete
against six of the best middle school
teams in the state.
Congratulations Colts!
Jocelyn Fielding and Madison Hoyt hold the
teams Grand Champion trophy.

The Hudson Havoc drove home
from Cape Cod this weekend with
smiles on their faces. The 4th
graders entered Sunday as the top
seed in the 23rd Annual David
Busnengo Memorial Basketball
Tournament. Hudson did not
disappoint as they completed their
perfect 4-0 weekend with a thrilling
15-10 victory over North Adams,
Mass., for the championship. Jaime
OConnor was voted tournament
MVP.
The teams success was not
limited to this past weekend
however. After a season opening
two-point loss to Bedford in midDecember, all this team did was go Hudson Havoc (from left): Top Row: Coach Matt Smith, Molly Smith, Laurin

stretch, Coach Paquette and Coach
Smiths Havoc won tournament
championships in both Pelham and Hudson, and finished as runners-up in the Merrimack Invitational.
Hudson beat Bow in the championship game in the Pelham Holiday Tournament in what was one of
the most exciting games you could ask for. Hudson also went undefeated in its own 38th Annual MLK
Day Tournament. Hudson sought revenge for their early season loss to Bedford and beat them in the
championship game. Jaime OConnor was once again named tournament MVP, and Brooke Paquette
was named to the All-Tournament Team.
Three tournament championships, one tournament runners-up and runners-up in the suburban league
championship compiling a 28-3 overall record. But with all of that success, what Coach Mike
Paquette and Coach Matt Smith are most proud of is the way these girls played the game. These 11 girls
played with passion, teamwork, respect, intensity, and sportsmanship. Havoc Nation has very proud
parents and fans. Congratulations on a terrific season.
