A lot of calls come into the newspaper,

but my daughter made her prom dress
from duct tape and needs some support
to win the $10,000 scholarship is a new
one.
Meet Kim Goodwin, a Hudson senior,
who, with her brother as her prom date,
came to Hudsons Library Park, aka the
town center, the town common, Saturday
afternoon for some pictures.
Not just the dress, but the jewelry,
shoes, nosegay, the dates shoes, jacket
vest and pants are all courtesy of Duck
Brand duct tape. The pictures speak
louder than any type of long-winded
explanation. And as you can see it wasnt
gray, and it wasnt just a one color. The
dress was purple, and the appliqu was
a galaxy pattern with darker colored
stars and a brand new blue tape used
as a highlight. When asked about how
long the ensemble took to create, Kim
answered simply: 300 hours of time and
40 rolls of tape.
While Kim did the work, her brother,
Loren a junior at
Alvirne, was the
model for most of
the construction of
the wardrobe. On
Saturday, Loren was
literally taking some
heat adorned in pants,
vest and jacket covered
with multiple layers of

The Campbell High
School Art Department is
pleased to announce that
Emily Thorpe of Litcheld
received a national Silver
Medal Award in The 2014
Scholastic Art and Writing
Awards administered by
the nonprot Alliance for
Young Artists and Writers.
The Scholastic Art and
Writing Awards, is the
countrys longest-running
and most prestigious award
and recognition program
for creative students in
grades 7-12. In addition, all
National Awardwinning
high school seniors are
now eligible to apply
for a special pool of more than $8 million in
scholarships, set aside specically for them
through partnerships with the Alliance and
esteemed colleges and universities around the
country.
The Scholastic Art and Writing Awards serve
as clear validation of young artists and writers
creative talent, persistence and promise in their
respective elds, said Virginia McEnerney,
Executive Director of the Alliance for Young Artists
and Writers, the administrator of the Scholastic
Awards. It is our honor to share in these dening
moments of achievement for our nations teens
and to elevate their unbelievable talent on the
local, regional and national levels. We see it
as a privilege to support them on their journey
to becoming artists, writers, designers, doctors,
business owners or any aspiration they are
determined to realize.
This program year, a record-breaking 255,000-
plus works of art and writing were submitted
to more than 100 afliates of the Alliance for
regional adjudication. Students, who received
regional Gold and Silver Keys, as well as
honorable mentions, have been celebrated in
all corners of the country. More than 100,000
regional Award recipients families and friends
gathered at local exhibitions, ceremonies and
readings nationwide to recognize student works.
From the outstanding pool of regional Gold Key
recipients, a panel of creative-industry experts
chose more than 1,800 of the most talented
students - representing 47 U.S. states as well
as students in Washington, D.C. and American
schools abroad - to receive national medals.
These artists, authors, critics, educators and
skilled professionals blindly judged works based
on originality, technical skill and the emergence
of a personal vision or voice - the original three
criteria of the programs founding in 1923 colleges
and universities around the country.
To celebrate the Scholastic Art and Writing
Awards national winners, the Alliance will kick
off this years national celebration in New York
City on June 5, with the rst annual Maker Prom
- a party with interactive art-making stations - at
the Roosevelt Hotel, as well as the grand opening
of the Art.Write.Now. National Exhibition, a large
selection of award-winning art and writing that
will be on display at Parsons The New School
for Design and the Pratt Manhattan Gallery. On
June 6, students will be honored during a special
awards ceremony live-webcasted from Carnegie
Hall, where they will be joined onstage by this
years Alumni Achievement Award Recipient,
Kay WalkingStick, whose career retrospective
will open in 2015 at the Smithsonians National
Museum of the American Indian. Following the
ceremony, the annual Scholastic Art and Writing
Awards Benet will take place at The Edison
Ballroom, and to further amplify the festivities that
evening, the iconic Empire State Building will be
lit in gold.
For 91 years, the Scholastic Art and Writing
Awards have fostered the creativity and talent
of millions of students through recognition,
exhibitions, publications and scholarships.
Alumni of the Scholastic Awards have gone on
to continue their education at many of the top
colleges and universities across the country,
including Maryland Institute College of Art, Rhode
Island School of Design, Parsons The New School
for Design, Carnegie Mellon University, Harvard
University and Columbia University. Since its
founding, the awards program has identied
the early promise of some of the nations most
exceptional visionaries, including alumni such as
Andy Warhol, Truman Capote, Richard Avedon,
Philip Pearlstein, Sylvia Plath and John Updike,
all of whom won when they were teens. More
recently, Stephen King, Myla Goldberg, Zac
Posen and Lena Dunham have become celebrated
alumni of the program.

Going to the Prom
Dressed in Duct Tape?
by Len Lathrop
Governor Maggie Hassan, Commissioner of the
Department of Resources and Economic Development Jeff
Rose, Commissioner George Copadis of Employment Security
and several other top state government ofcials were on hand
Monday to welcome and celebrate an awaited announcement
by Comcast that 55 Executive Drive will become a call center
serving more than one million area customers.
As Steve Hackley, senior vice president of Comcast Greater
Boston Region, stated in his remarks, before the summer
tans fade, there will be 100-plus people answering customer
concerns from the Hudson center and, following that, another
100 jobs will be added by years end.
Employees at the new call center will provide support for
Comcast residential products and services, initially handling
calls from across the Greater Boston region, which serves
1.6 million customers in New Hampshire, Maine, eastern
Massachusetts, Cape Cod and the islands. When our
customers reach this call center, they will be connected with
agents who are best equipped to help with their specic
needs, Hackley said.
Using 127,000 square feet of the Presstek building, the
Comcast Center will feature state-of-the-art technology, a
company training center, an employee cafeteria and a gym.
Both Hassan and Rose praised Comcasts commitment
to New Hampshire. With this facility Comcast will have
more than 1,700 workers in the state in a dozen different
buildings. This relates to an over $170 million investment in
New Hampshire employees including payroll, payroll taxes,
benets, healthcare, training and tuition reimbursement.
Hassan spoke of how this new call center reinforces New
Hampshire emphasis on high quality of life, low taxes and
a responsive state government, all of which makes New
Hampshire an attractive place for business and competitive
with other states for this business.

Emily Torpe of Campbell High, left, was recognized as a national silver medalist for her
painting, We are Beautiful. Also pictured is Campbell Art Educator, Denise Freeman.
Construction of the memory care assisted
living facility, the Inn at Fairview, is nearing
completion. The process included erecting a
temporary wall while the connecting hall was created
between Laurel Place Assisted Living and the Inn. It was not
very pretty to look upon. Deciding to make lemonade from the
lemons of construction, ve residents under the direction and with the
assistance of their activities coordinator, Carolyn Beaulieu, painted a relaxing
Spring in NH inspired wall mural. The mural looked realistic enough that a
therapy dog bumped his nose on the wall attempting to walk the path to the lake. The
resident artists included Pierrette Berube, Therese Tessier, Nada Herbert and Barbara Ward.
Eventually the wall will come down but the satisfaction of creating will remain.

Receiving Political Rhetoric
I received two mailings from Jeanne Shaheen on
May 30. Both imply that the Senator is promoting
home ownership and that she is helping people achieve
those goals. Anyone who wants to own a home will do
everything that they can do to achieve such a goal. I
hope the Senator is not advocating a repeat of allowing
people who cant aford the payments to purchase
a home. Te Senator indicates that she is trying to
protect the tax incentives of home ownership. Tis will
only happen if they revamp the whole income tax code.
I think that is a little beyond her capability.
Te second thing the mailing indicates the Senator
is going to save money for the people and businesses
of New Hampshire. Tis will occur by creating more
energy efcient homeowners and businesses. Te
mailing claims that this will create more jobs and
protect the environment.
Tink about this folks how is she going to that. Tis
is nothing but political rhetoric.
Lastly, both mailing indicate she was fghting and
prevented increases in food insurance for NH. All she
did was vote yes on the Bill that was passed.
Te mailing both had Tank You Jeanne Shaheen
in big bold letters twice in each mailing. I dont
understand why we should be thanking a person who
has voted 96 percent of the time with President Obama,
who has almost ruined this country.
If the Senator has done anything in her six year term
worthy of being voted for another term I have not
found it yet.
Scott Brown has voted with his party 66 percent of
the time. At least he is more of a middle of the road
person who seems to think before he votes on bills.

Volunteers Do Make a Diference
First clean-up for the year was held at Benson Park
on Saturday, May 3. Under warm and sunny skies the
volunteer crews through-out the park worked to make
this clean-up one of the best.
A special thank you is being sent out to Te Dog
Park volunteers, Butterfy Garden volunteers, Elephant
Barn building committee volunteers, Adopt-a-Spot
volunteers and the general park volunteers.
A wonderful lunch was provided by volunteers,
Natalie, Harry, Eileen, and Patti. Water and lemonade
were available.
Anyone interested in this activity at the park can
sign up on the second Saturday of the month, starting
in June. Volunteer hours are from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. A
willingness to help keep our park in its best form is all
that is required. If you would like to Adopt-a-Spot just
check the Kiosk for information.
Tank you everyone!

UN Intergovernmental Panel on
Climate Change (IPCC)
In last weeks HLN, Bryan Donovan comments on
the complaints by Robert Stavin about the section
of the recent IPCC report that gives a summary for
policymakers. Stavin is on the IPCC committee that
wrote that section.
First, as far as the science goes, Stavin on his site
writes:
I want to emphasize that the IPCCs Working
Group III Technical Summary and the underlying
Working Group III report of 15 chapters were
completely untouched by the government approval
process of the Summary for Policymakers. So, the
crucial IPCC products the Technical Summary and
the 15 chapters of WG 3 retain their full scientifc
integrity, and they merit serious public attention.
Now the policy section involves politicians and
economists, and the IPCC requires unanimous approval
by all governments. So we should not be surprised
that government representatives watered down an
early version. Te section in question is only one to
two pages long. Reading both versions on Stavins site
http://www.robertstavinsblog.org, we see that many
lines have been deleted from the frst version by the
IPCC. Read both versions. Tey look pretty innocuous
to me, with no real changes, just some omissions.
Tis is not creating lies. No lies were involved. And
Stavin does not claim anything of the sort. Stavin
seems to be complaining about the method of making
last minute changes, and that the report was watered
down to get unanimous agreement. He does not claim
that it was falsifed. He does not even claim that it was
altered. He makes a mild complaint about some minor
deletions.
Despite this, Donovan falsely claims about Stavin:
His point is do we have to lie this much?
Ten Donovan writes of the IPCC: Do we have to
debase ourselves to this low level?
Lastly, Donovan writes What anthropological
climate change BS?
Am I the only one to see the irony here?
Bruce Atwood, Hudson
Obamas Comatose Foreign Policy
Te Obama administrations foreign policy is non-
existent. He has relinquished our leadership role in the
world as evidenced by various setbacks.
Te State Department failed to increase security in
Benghazi after receiving warnings of increased terrorist
activity, and then the White House covered up the
fasco by blaming an internet video on the Benghazi
attack.
Although we won the war in Iraq, terrorists are
now in control of some Iraqi towns, and the Iraqi
government has forged close ties to Iran while Iran
moves closer to the development of nuclear weapons.
We will be withdrawing our troops from Afghanistan
this year, but it appears Karzai is cozying up to the
Taliban. He recently released dozens of imprisoned
terrorists.
Te war in Syria continues in a stalemate between
the government and its Shiite followers against the
Sunni fghters, and it is drawing in other Middle East
countries.
Putin is reasserting Russian power with the takeover
of the Crimea. It appears he might invade eastern
Ukraine under the guise of protecting Russian speaking
Ukrainians.
Obamas proposed cutbacks in our military coupled
with apologies to world leaders for our successful
society, has reduced our stature in the world and hurt
our national security.

Fun-flled Scouting Camporee this Weekend
submitted by Ben Dibble
Hudson Cub and Boy Scouts will enjoy a Chuckwagon Derby and Camporee
on May 9-11, at the Hills House grounds and Alvirne Woods.
The Cub Scouts will compete as teams in their annual Chuckwagon Derby.
The theme this year is SpongeBob and the boys will play several games based
on the popular cartoon character. The event is a competitive one with rst-,
second- and third-place awards for the top-three wagons.
The Cubs will pull wagons shaped like the chuck wagon used during cattle
drives or when the settlers moved west in the 1800s. It carries their gear, lunch
and rain coats for emergencies. The boys, ages 7-11, always enjoy the games
and competitions. This year there are games from the Krusty Krab and Mrs.
Puffs driving school. The event runs from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday the
10th, with awards at 2:30 p.m.
The older group, the Boy Scouts, will also be competing
that same day. Their theme this year is Mario Brothers.
The Scouts will focus on their standard scout skills, like
lashing a ladder to Rescue Princess Peach, doing rst aid at Dr. Mario, and
breaking bricks on trampolines, only they wont be using their heads like Mario
does. Other events are a paintball range where they will be shooting at Marios
nemeses, Goombas and Thwomps. To put a nal cap on the day, the Scouts
will be racing Mario Karts they built themselves. They will have Drag Races
and navigate an obstacle course, which will include the avoidance of banana
peels and gathering of gold coins.
Boy Scouts is for boys age 11-17, and is jam-packed with fun, camping and
outdoor adventures, and exciting activities.
Cub Scouts is a program specically designed for young boys with age-
specic activities and programs. Cub Scouts do fun things with other kids. They
get to wear a cool uniform, go places and see things. They play all kinds of
sports and build things, like race cars and bird houses. Want to learn a secret
code? Want to learn about wild animals? Join Cub Scouts!

Hands-only CPR Training Sessions Planned
submitted by the American Heart Association
Remember disco? The American Heart Association and Anthem
Blue Cross and Blue Shield in New Hampshire are pumping new
life into the 70s disco classic to help save lives with Hands-Only
CPR.
The American Heart Association campaign uses the Bee Gees hit
Stayin Alive to teach lifesaving Hands-Only CPR (no breaths,
just chest compressions). The song has more than 100 beats per
minute, the near-perfect rate at which you should push on the chest
during CPR. Thanks to a grant from Anthems corporate foundation,
the American Heart Associations nationwide Hands-Only CPR
awareness campaign and tour is coming to the Granite State May
20-23, with free educational programs planned for Portsmouth,
Manchester, Nashua, and Concord.
Nearly 400,000 Americans suffer out-of-hospital cardiac arrest
every year, and almost 90 percent of them die because they dont
receive immediate CPR from someone on the scene. When begun
immediately, CPR can double or triple a persons chance of survival.
People feel more condent performing Hands-Only CPR and
are more likely to remember the correct rhythm when trained to the
beat of Stayin Alive, said Amy Dumont, MSN, RN, CCRN, vice
president of Patient Care Services at Frisbie Memorial Hospital and
board chair of the New Hampshire Chapter of the American Heart
Association. Not only is it a fun, catchy and memorable way to
remember what to do, but it works peoples lives have been saved
because of it.
The American Heart Associations nationwide tour, which features
a state-of-the-art mobile CPR training unit, has helped train more
than 10,000 people across the United States over the past three
years.
The program scheduled for Nashua will be held Thursday, May
22, at Rivier University, 420 South Main St., from 11 a.m.3:30 p.m.
Each site will host several free training sessions for the public.
Each session lasts about 30 minutes and includes a free take home
training kit. Walk-ins are welcome, but to guarantee a slot, pre-
registration is strongly recommended. Please visit www.heart.org/
newhampshire to register.
Anthems mission is to enhance and support the health and
well-being of individuals and families, so a program like this is
a natural t for us, said Lisa M. Guertin, president, Anthem Blue
Cross and Blue Shield in New Hampshire. We are very excited
to bring this innovative program to our state. Far too many people
die unnecessarily each year from sudden cardiac arrest, and we are
committed to helping improve this public health crisis.

New Hampshire, visit www.heart.org/newhampshire.

Hometown Backyard Chickens. This free
program will held from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. at the
Hudson Police Department in the Ann Seabury
Community Room. Live chickens are expected to
be on hand for demonstration (not for sale).
According to Hudsons Animal Control Manager
Jana McMillan, I have seen a rise in backyard
chicken ownership in the last couple of years. I
have also had an increase in complaints, mostly
from neighbors who nd them roaming, or report
roosters crowing, or have concerns for the way they
are kept. I took a course at the MSPCA at Nevins
Farm on Backyard Chickens to educate myself
and thought it was very informative. Because I am
a huge advocate of educating the public, I wanted
to offer something to our residents to help them
and to help the chickens! I found out that the local
4H group, New Hampshire Cluckers, would give
a talk on this topic and could earn community
service hours for doing it. This is a win, win!
There are no ordinances (yet) on chicken
ownership in Hudson. However, there are certain
areas of town not zoned for livestock. There is state
law on proper care and treatment of livestock.

The Manual: How Our Unspoken Expectations
of Others Interfere with a Life of Joy. Each of us
has a manual for everyone in our lives. Think
about it: when were driving and someone cuts us
off, we immediately get upset - we may even go
into a rage. Why? Because theyre not supposed
to do that. We have unspoken expectations all
day, every day - and we get upset, sometimes all
day, every day, when the people around us dont
behave the way theyre supposed to. In this
presentation Master Life Coach Diane MacKinnon,
MD will explore the idea of The Manual and
discuss how to get rid of it (or at least make it
much smaller!) in order to enjoy your life and your
relationships to the fullest. Rodgers Memorial

Hudsons Ben Marshall Shines
in Dance Competition
by Laurie Jasper
Hudsons Ben Marshall, a 2007 graduate of
Alvirne High School, is a true outdoorsman.
While at Alvirne, he was a member of FFA,
participated in forestry classes and helped
out on the school farm. Ben received his
associates degree in Forest Technology from
the University of New Hampshire, works for
his father at Atomic Tree Service, helps his
mother at her shop, Annes Florals and Gifts,
and works part time for a local farm. Ben has
competed in lumberjack shows since high
school, traveling throughout New England and
as far as Wisconsin. So, it might surprise some
people to know that Ben has a new passion
- ballroom dancing. Not only has Ben been
taking dance lessons, he just returned from his
rst dance competition weekend which was
held in West Palm Beach, Fla., where Ben and
his dance instructor/partner Karen did very
well.
It was the last week in January, it was a
long winter, and I wanted to nd something
new to do, replied Ben when asked how he
started dancing. Ben continued, I was talking
to a friend who thought I might enjoy dance
lessons. I asked around and heard good things
about Royal Palace Dance Studio in Manchester,
so I signed up for lessons. Its a lot of fun, and its
a good workout, a lot of cardio.
Ben danced at the Majestic Dance Sport
Competition in Florida last weekend with 36 entries
in eight dance styles: waltz, tango, foxtrot, rumba,
merengue, country 2-step, bolero and salsa. He and
his partner, Karen, won three second-place awards
and 33 rst-place awards. Ben also won newcomer
bronze for his waltz solo with Karen (solo means
they were the only couple on the dance oor at the
time). There were over 50 competitors overall. Ben
also won top male student award for the event.
Congratulations, Ben! Dancing With The Stars just
might have some local competition.

Shaheen Endorses Increased
Minimum Wage
submitted by the Ofce of
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen
In advance of the Senates consideration of
legislation to increase the minimum wage,
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH), on
Tuesday, April 28, cited data that shows New
Hampshires families, veterans and economy
would benet greatly from raising the minimum
wage to $10.10. Currently, New Hampshires
minimum wage is $7.25.
According to reports, increasing the
minimum wage would result in a raise for
more than 110,000 Granite Staters, including
approximately 67,000 New Hampshire women.
The move would also lift more than 10,000
Granite Staters out of poverty.
Raising the minimum wage will help create
New Hampshire jobs, boost our economy, and
make sure hard working people can provide
for their families, Shaheen said. Increasing
the minimum wage is the right thing to do for
the 110,000 Granite Staters who have earned
a raise and for the 10,000 who would be lifted
out of poverty. I hope we can pass this bill this
week on behalf of New Hampshire workers,
families, and our economy.
According to data from the Bureau of Labor
Statistics and analysis from the Economic
Policy Institute, raising the minimum wage to
$10.10 would also add $90.8 million to New
Hampshires GDP; help more than 4,500 New
Hampshire veterans earn a living and stay out of
poverty; and create 400 new jobs.
The federal minimum wage has lagged
behind the cost of living for decades and has
lost more than 30 percent of its value since
1968. The Minimum Wage Fairness Act would
help restore the earning power of the minimum
wage by raising it to $10.10 over two years.
The Senate is expected to consider the bill this
week.

Is Supreme Court Ruling on Cross-state
Air Pollution Good or Bad?
Editors note: Based on the following April 29 press releases
from New Hampshire Governor Maggie Hassan and U.S.
Senator Kelly Ayotte, both legislators strongly endorse the recent
Supreme Court ruling regarding Environmental Protection
Agency regulations on cross-state airborne pollution. The Area
News Group reached out to its weather authority, Joe DAleo,
for his viewpoint and to ask him if this will really help us here in
southern New Hampshire. Or is it just another case of government
legislation wasting taxpayers dollars? Take a look at Joe DAleos
Weather Whys column on page16 for more compelling weather
insight.
Supreme Court Decision will Help Protect New Hampshires Air
Quality
(Senator Ayottes 4-29-14 press release)
U.S. Senator Kelly Ayotte (R-NH) welcomed U.S. Supreme Court
decision on Tuesday, April 29, clearing the way for a clean-air
regulation to move forward to protect New Hampshire and other
downwind states from pollutants emitted by out-of-state power
plants. Ayotte has fought efforts in the Senate aimed at rolling back
the EPAs Cross-State Air Pollution Rule, which encourages the use
of the best technology available so downwind states such as New
Hampshire will be able to achieve national clean air standards.
Air pollution doesnt stop at state borders, and New Hampshire
shouldnt be the tailpipe for pollutants from out-of-state power
plants. Without this rule in place, New Hampshire would be
unable to achieve national clean air standards because of air
pollution that is outside of the states regulatory control, said
Senator Ayotte. Its a matter of common sense to ensure that one
states emissions arent unduly harming another states air quality,
and Im pleased that the rule will move forward.
Senator Ayotte voted in 2011 against Senate Joint Resolution
27 a Resolution of Disapproval that sought to prevent the Cross-
State Air Pollution Rule from being implemented. The resolution
failed by a vote of 41 to 56.
Governor Hassan Statement on Supreme Court Ruling to Uphold
EPA Provision
(Governor Hassans 4-29-14 press release)
This ruling is a victory in our ght to ensure healthy air for
our citizens and a healthy economy for our businesses. For too
long, New Hampshire has borne the health, environmental and
economic cost of pollution caused by other states.
I call on upwind states to make the modest investments
necessary investments New Hampshire made long ago to
prevent their pollution from affecting our state. The cost of
removing an additional ton of pollution in downwind states,
including New Hampshire, is estimated at between $10,000 to
$40,000, compared to as little as $500 a ton in upwind states,
where even some basic control technologies have not been
installed.
Joe DAleos Comments:
All the regulations are meant to drive fossil fuel prices up
and force coal and even some oil and gas plants to shut down,
force prices up which make the unreliable renewables more cost
competitive.
As the Wall Street Journal said yesterday, New England gas
prices rose to a record above $90 per million British thermal units
in January, according to Intercontinental Exchange Group Inc.
Bostons wholesale gas price averaged $24.09 per million BTUs for
January and February, compared with just $3.37 in Pennsylvania.
Even frigid Chicago paid less than half what Boston did, averaging
$10.79 per million BTUs ... The demand crunch will be
compounded as New Englands coal-burning power plants close.
In 2000 only 15 percent of the electricity used in Connecticut,
Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Maine
came from natural gas. That has increased to nearly 50 percent
as coal and fuel-oil plants have been phased out to meet tighter
clean-air regulations.
Will {Senator] Shaheen and [Governor] Hassan be
congratulating the EPA next winter when we are sitting in the dark
and pipes are freezing and bursting, when we are paying $7 per
gallon for heating oil and gas spikes again?
For the last decade, Brits have been dying from the cold at the
average rate of 29,000 excess deaths each winter, British science
journalist Matt Ridley wrote in The Spectator.
Compare this to the heat wave of 2003, which claimed 15,000
lives in France and just 2,000 in Britain. In the 10 years since,
there has been no summer death spike at all. Excess winter deaths
hit the poor harder than the rich for the obvious reason: They
cannot afford heating.
Well over 25 percent of the residents of the Wales in the UK are
in energy poverty, having to decide between heating and eating.
This is especially true of the pensioners on xed income who are
hit with heating bills that are double. Sound familiar?
That is why [British Prime Minister] Cameron has decided to
dismantle the onshore wind farms starting next year and is slant
drilling in the North Sea for oil and why Germany is building 24
coal plants where 600,000 had their electricity turned off because
they could not afford to pay the high prices.
Here in New England, we came within a few days of running
out of heating oil backup supplies being used in our power plants
when NATGAS (natural gas) spiked.
We dont have a pollution problem. The EPAs own charts show
the particulates are well below existing standards in the U.S. They
are proposing to lower standards so much, it will force coal, even
some other fossil plants to shut and even effect manufacturing
plants. High prices alone my drive them out of the region to
places where energy is affordable.
The sad thing is we have found we have the oil and gas supply
that together with the Keystone Pipeline could drive energy prices
way down which would help the poor and middle class and
retirees most. If we had $1.50 heating oil and energy bills half the
current levels, there would be more people could spend on other
items which would benet the overall economy of the region. We
could become the top energy supplier for the world, and create
100,000s of high-paid jobs.
But that would make Hollywood and the enviros unhappy.
They like green energy. They want us all driving small electric
cars and powering our homes with wind and solar. Europe was
10 years ahead of us buying into the enviro agenda after Kyoto.
Their failure should be the canary in the coal mine for us, but with
people in power like Shaheen and Hassan, we have years of pain
ahead before we come to our senses.
The EPA should not be congratulated; the agency should be shut
down.

Injuries Sustained in Two-car Crash; One Driver Charged
Police Investigating Cause
of Multi-vehicle Accident
Hudson Driver
Crashes into Pole;
Charged with DWI
submitted by Hudson Police Department
Members of the Hudson Police and Fire departments responded
on May 2 to Lowell Road for a vehicle that crashed into a telephone
pole. Upon arrival, the ofcers determined that a 1998 Nissan
Altima veered off the road and collided with the telephone pole.
The driver of the vehicle was identied as Ann Youngman, 55, of
Hudson.
Youngman was evaluated by emergency medical technicians and
transported to Southern New Hampshire Medical Center in Nashua
for minor injuries. Youngman was alone in the vehicle at the time of
the accident. At this time it is unknown if Youngman was wearing a
seatbelt.
An on-scene investigation was conducted and subsequently
Youngman was arrested and charged with DWI. Youngman was
released on personal recognizance bail and is scheduled to appear
for arraignment at the 9th Circuit Court in Nashua on May 22.
On May 1, at 8:40 p.m., members of the Hudson Police and Fire
Departments responded to the area of Derry Street near Tracy Lane
for a reported rollover accident with entrapment. Upon the ofcers
arrival they discovered a 2005 Ford F-150 pickup truck lying on its
roof along the northbound breakdown lane of Derry Street. The
driver of the pickup was identied as Kevin Rodonis, 42, of Hudson,
and his passenger was identied as Robin Rodonis, 39, also of
Hudson. The ofcers also located a 2011 Inniti M37X down an
embankment along the northbound
lane of Derry Street that was
involved in the collision. The driver
of the Inniti was identied as Lisa
Santiago, 40, of Londonderry, and
her 11-year-old daughter was a
passenger.
The Hudson Fire Department
utilized the Jaws of Life to extricate
Kevin and Robin Rodonis from
their vehicle. Kevin Rodonis was
initially transported to the Southern
New Hampshire Medical Center
in Nashua, and then he was
transferred to Beth Israel Hospital
in Boston. Robin Rodonis was
transported to St. Joseph Hospital
in Nashua. Both Kevin and Robin
Rodinis are being treated for
serious but non-life threatening
injuries. At this time it is unknown
if the Rodonis were wearing their
seatbelts.
Lisa Santiago and her daughter were transported to St. Joseph
Hospital to be evaluated for minor injuries. Santiago and her
daughter were wearing their seatbelts, and the vehicles airbags
deployed.
The ofcers conducted an on-scene investigation and determined
that Kevin Rodonis was traveling south on Derry Street, and
Santiago was traveling north on Derry Street. In the area south of
Tracy Lane, Kevin Rodonis drove into the oncoming lane of trafc
and struck Santiagos vehicle. This caused Rodonis vehicle to roll
over and Santiagos vehicle to drive off the roadway and down an
embankment.
Subsequently, Kevin Rodonis was arrested and charged with a
felony level Aggravated DWI. He was released on $2,000 personal
recognizance bail and is scheduled to appear at the 9th Circuit Court
in Nashua on May 29.

On Sunday, May 4, at about 6 p.m., Hudson Police patrol
personnel responded to the intersection of Lowell Road and Wal-
Mart Boulevard for the report of a three-vehicle accident. Upon
arrival to the scene, it was determined a 2014 Ford Explorer, being
operated by George Smith, 53, of Hudson, was travelling north
on Lowell Road when a collision occurred in the middle of the
intersection with a 2005 Volkswagen Jetta being driven by George
Malapanis, 88, of Dracut, Mass.
Also involved in the collision was a 2003 Mercury Sable being
operated by Jon Betty, 47, of Tyngsborough, Mass.
Both Malapanis and Betty appeared to have been taking left turns
onto Lowell Road from Wal-Mart Blvd. All subjects were wearing
their seatbelts at the time of the accident. Smith and Betty were
not injured, however, Malapanis and a female passenger were
transported to Lowell General Hospital with undisclosed injuries.
This accident is still under investigation by the Hudson Police
Patrol Division.

Pianist Fills Library with Ragtime Music
by AJ Dickinson
Deborrah Wyndham, nationally
renowned pianist and composer, performed
a Ragtime music concert at the Rodgers
Memorial Library on Tuesday, May 6. She
contacted various libraries in the area to
conduct performances. Subsequently, she
organized an evening of music here in
Hudson. Many Hudson locals crowded the
library that evening at what was referred
to as the most popular of all the Rodgers
events. Wyndham, who has performed
more than 3,000 times, has been featured
on FOX, NBC, and ABC. The relaxing night
consisted of music, entertainment, and awe
from everyone who listened to this talented
musician harmonize. Past listeners have
described her playing as sounding like four
hands.
Pianist and composer Deborrah Wyndham entertains her audience at Rodgers Library with ragtime music from years gone by.

You turn off of Sherburne Road on
to Spaulding Hill Road as you drive
up the hill. The road seems to open
up, not to swallow you, but to allow
you to see some distance between
the houses and through the trees.
There is a road to your right that
continues skyward, and
set back from the street,
you notice a white gazebo,
surrounded by grass and
landscaping. This is the
village envisioned by
John Gargasz, the current
property owner/developer
for Skyview Estates.
Locals in Pelham
might know the site and
understand the majestic
view that this part of their
town offers, but what they
dont know is how John Gargasz and his team have designed and engineered this neighborhood to be a
place where there are opportunities for connection. You can get to know your neighbors, grow your own
vegetables and owers in the 3.5-acre community garden, take leisurely strolls and enjoy the views, and
stop to relax in the charming gazebos.
The developers green approach to natural land preservation is second to none, and theyve worked
diligently to maintain the natural surroundings when sculpting home sites. The neighborhood abuts Pelham
conservation property, which amounts to 200 acres including
many hiking trails. Every homeowner will be a member of the
homeowners association who will govern the development. When
all phases of Skyview are developed and sold, each homeowner will
also be a 1/63 owner of all open spaces.
Buyers can choose from one of Skyviews nine oor plans (see
Skyview website to view them all) or provide their own plans, which
can be customized by their on-staff architectural designer. Skyviews
plans include 2-, 3- and 4-bedroom options even a sophisticated
ranch.
The model home, The Sherburne, boasts the ultimate in elegance
and must be visited in person to be appreciated. Gleaming hardwood
oors grace the entryway, dining room, family room and kitchen. The
nished basement is an entertainers dream. It is open every Saturday
and Sunday, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., or by appointment.
Pelhams location offers fantastic access to area highways Route
3, 495 or 93 making commutes to Boston, Manchester, or even
Lowell - very easy. It offers the ultimate in small-town charm with
annual community events like Old Home Day, as well as top-notch
schools a $22 million bond was recently passed for a major
addition to the high school. Add to that close access to shopping,
movie theaters, hiking, restaurants there is truly for something for
everyone to enjoy.
Skyview is offered exclusively by the Coco, Early and Associates.

Tips for Dining Out on Mothers Day
Mothers Day is right around the corner, and this special
holiday serves to honor all those women who devote so
much time and effort to their families. While gifts and other
trinkets are certainly part of the celebration, a vast major-
ity of children opt to treat Mom to a night out on the town
come Mothers Day. Not only does this give mom a night
off from cooking, but also it presents an opportunity to get
dressed up and spend time together as a family.
A vast number of families travel to their favorite restau-
rants for Mothers Day meals. Mothers Day is one of the
busiest holidays of the year for restaurants. The National
Retail Federation says 54.8 percent of Americans treat their
mothers to a special meal out on Mothers Day. Billions of
dollars are generated by people eating out with their moth-
ers. With large crowds to be expected, diners can follow a
few tips when treating Mom to a meal.
* Book early ... very early. To guarantee a reservation at
any restaurant, namely your favorite restaurant, you will
need to make a reservation well in advance of Mothers
Day. Its never too early to put your name on the reservation
list. Dont forget Mothers Day is Sunday, May 11, 2014.
* Expect to wait. Even with
a reservation, youre bound to
spend some time waiting at the
restaurant. Other families may be
lingering at their tables, as no one
wants to rush Mom out of the door.
Plan accordingly for a potentially
long wait time. This means having
a snack before you leave. Dont
arrive famished, as no one wants
the dining party to be hungry and
cranky, which is not a good way
to celebrate Mom. Have plenty
of snacks and drinks on hand for
young children, as well as activi-
ties to keep them entertained.
* Consider dining out a day
before or after. Restaurants are
generally packed on Mothers Day,
and as a result kitchen and wait
staffs might be overtaxed. Whats
more, diners might be relegated to a special or abbreviated menu.
If you want a more relaxed setting and the ability to order what-
ever you desire, it may be a better idea to celebrate Mothers Day
in advance. Then have Mom enjoy a relaxing day at home on her
special day.
* Take-out is an option. Families can treat Mom to a dinner out,
without really having to go out. Many restaurants offer takeout
service, so you will not be limited to pizza or Chinese. Even chain
restaurants have curbside service, so if Mom is in the mood for a
burger or something more elaborate, shell have that option.
* Expect an included gratuity. Restaurants often include a
gratuity in the bill when servicing larger parties, such as those that
might be celebrating Mothers Day. The standard gratuity rate is 18
percent, but you may want to go above and beyond if you feel the
service is exemplary.
* Hire a sitter for young kids. Although Mothers Day is a
chance for the entire family to spend time together, the main goal
is to ensure Moms comfort and happiness. If very young chil-
dren are in tow, she may not be able to relax and enjoy her meal.
Infants will need to be fed, and toddlers may be easily distracted.
Have a sitter watch little ones when adults are dining out, and
then Mom can enjoy time with the kids when she returns home for
more celebrating.
How Moms Can Help Kids to Go
Green and Protect the Planet
Todays kids are growing up in a very differ-
ent world than the one their parents inhabited as
youngsters. One of the biggest differences between
now and then is that kids growing up in the 21st
century are being taught to embrace eco-friendly
activities and lifestyles on a far broader scale than
their parents were. While parents of school-aged
children might have learned about the planet and
even celebrated Earth Day when they were kids,
their kids are growing up in a world where Earth
Day is just one of the many opportunities to pro-
tect the planet and respect the environment.
Because todays kids are growing up in an eco-
conscious world, its no surprise that kids are often
enthusiastic about joining in environmental efforts.
Moms tasked with nding productive outlets for
that enthusiasm may want to employ the following
strategies.
* Organize weekly events with other kids.
Much like adults, kids often nd activities more
fun when their friends are around. Mothers who
want to inspire their kids to protect the planet
can organize weekly eco-friendly events for their
youngsters and their friends. Consult local park
ofcials and set up a park cleanup where kids
can pitch in by picking up litter. Do the same if
you live near a beach or lakefront area. Kids will
benet from enjoying the great outdoors while
simultaneously doing something good.
* Take kids on trips to the grocery store. Moth-
ers are often in charge of stocking the family pan-
try, and this, too, can be used as an opportunity to
teach kids about the environment. When visiting
the produce aisle, explain to your youngsters why
youre purchasing organic fruits and vegetables
instead of those that might have been genetically
modied or grown with the use of pesticides.
When it comes time to visit the snack aisle, choose
organic items and remind kids come snack time
that their new favorite treats also happen to be
eco-friendly. This reduces the likelihood that kids
will grow up associating healthy and eco-friendly
foods with a lack of taste, potentially laying the
groundwork for a lifetime of healthy eating.
* Involve kids in the garden. Moms who plant
owers or tend to their own gardens can invite
kids to join them. As you and your youngsters
plant vegetables, explain to them that growing
your own fruits and veggies reduces your reliance
on trucks to transport these items from afar, which
helps to conserve fuel and reduce pollution.
* Start a neighborhood carpool. Simple every-
day tasks make for great learning opportunities,
especially when teaching kids about the benets
of an eco-friendly lifestyle. Moms can organize
a neighborhood carpool to get kids to and from
school, explaining to each child that carpooling
reduces fuel consumption and air pollution.
* Volunteer with an environmental organiza-
tion. Kids benet from volunteering in numerous
ways. Moms looking to get their kids involved with
local volunteer organizations can combine the
lessons learned with giving back to the community
with their youngsters passion for the environment
by signing the family up to volunteer with a local
environmental organization. Such organizations
might clean up heavily littered roadways, plant
trees in public parks, help remove debris after
harsh storms or long winters or promote environ-
mental awareness. Each of these activities teaches
kids the value of giving back while also provid-
ing for them an outlet to pursue an eco-friendly
lifestyle.
Moms tasked with fostering a love of the en-
vironment in their children can do so in various
ways.

Unique Gifts Ideas for Mothers Day
Breakfast in Bed for Special Occasions
Few gestures of affection create such a stir as presenting a
loved one with breakfast in bed. On special occasions, treating
a loved one to breakfast in bed can get their big day off on the
right foot. The success of such an endeavor often boils down to
following a few tips.
* The surprise of breakfast in bed is almost as important as
the presentation. Make sure everyone keeps the secret and rises
early enough to prepare the meal. Time the meal so that it is
ready when the person of honor typically awakes.
* Banging and clanking in the kitchen does not a relaxing
morning make, so select an easily prepared dish to cut back
on the noise. Store- or restaurant-bought foods can still make
a nice impression if they are dressed up.
* Adult supervision is a must when young kids are cook-
ing. This ensures everything goes safely and smoothly while
still giving kids the chance to pitch in.
* Delegate some tasks to kids. A young child may be able
to arrange owers in a vase, while a slightly older child may
be more adept at slicing toast or helping to ip pancakes.
The breakfast should be a joint effort so that the person
treated to breakfast knows everyone involved cared enough
to pitch in.
* Choose easy-to-eat foods. Crumbly and messy foods
are not the ideal t for breakfast in bed. No one wants to
spill food onto pillows or go to bed the next evening to nd
a pile of crumbs beneath the sheets. Finger foods or bite-
sized items that can be popped into the mouth will not make
much of a mess. Crepes may be a nice alternative to messier
mufns. Serve coffee or tea in a cup with a lid to help pre-
vent spills.
* Invest in a food tray to make serving breakfast in bed
that much easier. A bedside table or nightstand also can t
the bill.
* Add small details to make the breakfast even more special.
Use heart- or ower-shaped cookie cutters to add whimsy to
everything from pancakes to fruit. A hand-written card or poem
is another nice touch.
Breakfast in bed is a special treat for any family member.
Employing a few strategies for success can make it that much
more special.
Breakfast in bed is made even better with a beautiful presentation
that helps anyone feel pampered on a special occasion.
Whether shes still hard at work raising children or her kids have
grown up and now have children of their own, Mom deserves our
best efforts come Mothers Day. And while traditional gifts like
owers and chocolate might make for thoughtful Mothers Day
gifts, those who want to go the extra mile for Mom this year can
consider the following unique gift ideas.
* Concert tickets: Many adults recall the days of their youth
when Mom would relax while listening to some of her favorite
music on a lazy summer afternoon. Why not take a stroll down
Memory Lane and take Mom to see one of her favorite acts in con-
cert? Even if you have outgrown Moms musical tastes, she will still
appreciate the chance to spend an evening out on the town with
her kids and some good music.
* Theater tickets: If Mom is a
fan of live theater then nothing
will elicit a bigger smile than
tickets to a Broadway show she
has had her eyes on. If Broadway
is a bit too far for you to travel,
do your homework and nd a
traveling production of a former
Broadway show. Such productions
often feature many of the same
actors who made the play famous
on Broadway so youre still bound
to see an unforgettable show
Mom will love.
* Parts unknown: Moms who
love to travel and experience
other cultures would certainly
appreciate a trip abroad or a
domestic getaway to a region
of the country they have yet to
explore. Before booking any such trips, speak to your Mom and
ask if theres anywhere in particular shed like to go. Such trips can
be expensive, so adults might want to speak to their siblings and
nance such an excursion together.
* Spa treatment: If Mom is still as active as ever, then a day of
pampering at a nearby spa is sure to please. Many luxury spas of-
fer packages, especially around Mothers Day, that make a full-on
spa treatment a more affordable gift. Men and women can even
accompany Mom on her trip and reap the rewards of being such a
thoughtful son or daughter.
Thumbs up/Thumbs down
to the man who got arrested
for trying to have sex with
underage boys. Move out of
the neighborhood. We have
families that live here. You
know who you are; nobody
wants you here.
Thumbs down to Burger
King on Lowell Rd. Why
does the sign say open at 5:30
if youre never open until
6:00 or after? This morning
(4/29/14) I waited 30 minutes
past open for the doors to
nally open. Once I nally
got in the girl in the kitchen
loudly yelled already! It
was clear she did not want
to make my food. She was
cranky and storming around.
Will never return!
Thumbs up to responsible
pet owners who are
considerate of both their pets
and neighbors.
Thumbs up/Thumbs down.
I would like to know why
NH drivers are not required
to have car insurance. What
a joke. I pay a fortune for
insurance to cover these
people that dont want to foot
their own bill? Ridiculous!
How do we change this?
Thumbs down to the
uninformed Rep. basher. One
of the founding principles
of the GOP was on the
anti slavery platform. The
Democrat Party was the party
of slavery, segregation and
Jim Crow and provided much
of the resistance to the civil
right movement of the mid
sixties. BTW, Donald Sterling
is a major contributor to
the Democrat Party. Which
doesnt surprise anyone who
knows the true history of the
Democrat Party. Oh, and
how is that .1 percent growth
working out for you? Im sure
that you are pleased to know
that China is slated to surpass
the USA in terms of being
the number 1 economy. That
hope and change is going
along just swimmingly isnt
it?
Thumbs down. I have
to respond to a thumbs up
that was totally inaccurate.
Obama care may have signed up 8 million but
there are a lot of things not being said. First, of
those 8 million how many have actually paid?
How many of those were the 6.2 million that
lost their health insurance due to the ACA? How
many are medium income
earners versus those who
will get a reduced or receive
Medicare? Here is an example
of this affordable care. My
brother went to sign up. He is
a lower middle income earner
($29,000). While he does
qualify for a reduced monthly
rate that is only a part of the
story. His deductible is $5,500
a year. So his monthly payment
before he gets any coverage is
$484. Living week to week with
no extra how is this affordable?
Oh, and by the way, my insurance
premiums went up $35 a week
or $1,820 a year. No reduction
there! So know your facts before
you talk about how great this
travesty is!
Thumbs up. Thumbs way
up to the sweeping company in
Litcheld! The streets are some
much cleaner and the town looks
all the better. Thank you, Fred.
See you next year.
Thumbs up/Thumbs down. If
you want to know what brought
this country to its knees, you
better read up on public education
and Common Core curriculum,
Obamacare, amnesty, welfare
fraud, the lack of protecting
the innocent, empowering the
criminals ... and voting democrat
...
Thumbs up to American
businesses that do business
the right way. Please support
companies/corporations that share
prosperity with its workers, keeps
jobs in this country, supports our
environment, balances prot with
concerns of the greater good of
society. Thumbs up to American
consumers that look beyond
price and do business with moral
companies. Thumbs up to the
middle class American citizens,
who are the only group of people
that has the motivation and will to
make this country strong again.
Thumbs down to the Hudson-
Litcheld News. We are 1/3
through the softball season and
not 1 article about the Campbell
Lady Cougar Softball Team. They
are defending state champions and
going for their third championship
in 4 years and no coverage.
Thumbs down to Democrats.
How can anyone in their right
mind call themselves an American
and vote democrat. This party
has destroyed the middle class,
increased unemployment, crime,
energy cost, drugs, mental health
issues, never mind broken all ties
with our foreign alliances. I blame
you and you alone for the fall of
this once great nation.
Thumbs down to believing
the ACA isnt
working. Those
of us with
pre-existing
conditions and college
graduate children can nally
get coverage. And no longer
can insurance companies
cancel your policy just because
you have the audacity to
actually use it. Why would
we ever want to repeal this?
And as to canceled plans:
please check your facts. The
mandate to meet the minimum
standards was rolled back
until 2016 so no plans have
been canceled because of ACA
unless your insurance company
decided to cancel it on its
own.
Thumbs up. I would like a thumbs up for
Captain Avery of Hudson PD. Thanks for all that
you do. From a Fox Hollow resident.
Thumbs up for Abraham Lincoln. He said
you can fool some of the people some of the
time, but you cannot fool all the people all of the
time. Benghazi, we lost an ambassador. Hes
dead. Three civilians, U.S. Theyre dead. All
of the while, Hillary and President Obama lied
to us about some video. Those two trumped up
the story and put an American in jail for taking a
picture. He went to jail for one year. Is this the
type of government we want?
Thumbs down. As long as you dont break the
law, atheism is your right. Racism is your right.
But taping people in the privacy of their own
home without their permission is a crime. TMZ
had no right to air Sterlings words if they were
gotten illegally. Because of this, the NBA and its
players needed to control their rage as human
beings and pursue this matter at a higher level
of thinking. Instead, the NBA turned into a mob
with illegal evidence and did more harm than
the ones of a known racist. Sterling has recourse
against his girlfriend, TMZ and the NBA. Bullying
Sterling into loving the races needs a better happy
ending.
Thumbs up/Thumbs down. I want this
country to be the best it can be. That means
its citizens, government and businesses all are
in unison and there are shared sacrices and
prosperity. How do we grow beyond where
we are now? How can the greatest good be
achieved? This is what I want to hear from
my elected ofcials in government. We need
everybody on board the ship to make the
promised land of our constitution. Whose legacy
will it be to make America great again?
Thumbs down to the Lund Street resident who
closed and placed his or her own lock on our gate
the evening of April 26. There were many people
attending the reworks at the Londonderry Fish &
Game Club and such a malicious act potentially
compromised the safety of all attending the event.
We get that you dont like the event but is it worth
the risk of getting arrested?

Like Hudson~Litcheld News on
by Joseph DAleo, CCM
Sitting on the worlds greatest supply of gas and oil, we may face
shortages because of green energy policies.
This past winter, bitterly cold weather placed massive stress on the
U.S. electrical system - and the system almost broke down. Eight
of the top 10 all-time winter energy demand peaks occurred in
January 2014. Heroic efforts by grid operators saved large parts of
the nations heartland from blackouts during record-cold temperature
days. Nicholas Akins, CEO of American Electric Power, stated in
Congressional testimony, This country did not just dodge a bullet -
we dodged a cannon ball.
Environmental policies established by Congress and the
Environmental Protection Agency are moving us toward electrical
grid failure. This EPA crusade against global warming continues even
though last winter was the coldest U.S. winter since 1911-1912.
Winters have cooled in all nine U.S. climate regions for the last 20
years.
EPA policies are forcing the closure of many coal-red plants,
which provided 39 percent of U.S. electricity last year. American
Electric Power, a provider of about 10 percent of the electricity to
eastern states, will close almost one-quarter of the rms coal-red
generating plants in the next 14 months. Eighty-nine percent of the
power scheduled for closure was needed to meet electricity demand
in January. Not all of this capacity has replacement plans.
Energy prices exploded this winter. The winter wholesale price of
gas increased four-fold over 2011-2012. New England businesses
and residents have almost spent as much money on power this winter
as they did in all of 2012.
The regional grid operator, ISO-New England, attributes these sharp
increases to the combination of low temperatures, high demand for
natural gas and limited natural gas pipeline capacity. There are 210
natural gas pipelines over 305,000 miles in the nation but limited
transmission into the northeast. Because natural gas runs so much of
New Englands power generation, the price of that fuel is closely tied
to the price of electricity.
ISO said last January, when natural gas prices spiked to all-time
record levels, power plants that could burn oil were able to run on
oil through the Winter Reliability Program which stockpiled oil as a
reserve emergency supply.
Over the course of the winter, these power plants had burned
through most of the 3 million stockpiled barrels. Some generators, at
one point, only had two days worth of oil left.
The oil produced in the United States has increased 38.25
percent since 2009, but not because the federal government which
recently delayed decision on the Keystone Pipeline. The production
in federal lands actually dropped 6.3 percent. It was a boom on
private land that made the difference. Production there, where the
federal government cant control it, increased 61 percent. If leases
were granted for more drilling on federal land and in the sea, and
the Keystone Pipeline was approved, hundreds of thousands of jobs
would become available. Very low cost energy would benet the
poor and middle class. We would all have more money to spend,
providing a huge boost to the economy.
But the party in power is in bed with the more radical
environmentalists willing to support strong policies with big money
and whose ideal world is one without fossil fuel (and far fewer
people).
So ironically, while we are literally sitting on an abundance of
energy, we may see major power outages and shortages and still
higher prices for electricity, oil and natural gas ahead.
ISO is worried next year could be a start of major problems for the
Granite State as non-gas generators capable of producing 2.6 million
MWh (milliwatts per hour) are scheduled to retire before next winter
Salem 3 (coal), Salem 4 (oil) and Vermont Yankee (nuclear). In
New Hampshire, PSNH (Public Service of New Hampshire) is under
pressure from regulators to sell off its coal-red plants in Bow and
Portsmouth. Those plants were called upon to produce electricity
throughout much of the winter, when their cost of operation was
actually lower than the cost of electricity produced by natural gas.
We are, as we said in the last Weather Whys column, heading into
an El Nio. El Nios with the Pacic Ocean temperatures in the
current pattern are very cold and snowy (think of 2002-2003, 2009-
2010).
Canaries in the Coal Mine
The U.S. escaped this year. Not so in Canada where every
Canadian Province except British Columbia experienced rotating
blackouts in record cold.
The past ve years were record setters in Europe and Asia though
they got a break this winter. In a stunning admission by Germanys
Economics Minister and Vice Chancellor to Chancellor Angela
Merkel, Sigmar Gabriel announced that the countrys once highly
ballyhooed transformation to renewable energy, the so called
Energiewende, a model that has been adopted by a number of
countries worldwide, is on the verge of failure.
When electricity prices skyrocketed last year, 600,000 German
users had their power turned off. Germany is rushing the building of
24 coal-red plants and renewing their nuclear program.
In the UK, Prime Minister Cameron announced that he plans
the dismantling of the on-shore wind farms and the UK is busy
slant drilling for coal in the North Sea and fracking for natural
gas. Spain stopped the subsidization of their wind and solar when
prices skyrocketed and industry moved plants overseas, forcing
unemployment to increase to 27.5 percent. Two real jobs were
lost for every green job created, and only 1 in 10 green jobs was
permanent. It was a similar tale in Italy where 3.4 jobs were lost for
every green job created.
The Australian government recently released an issues paper
nding carbon taxes have contributed to household electricity costs
rising 110 per cent in the past ve years, hitting the poor the hardest.
Lynne Chester of the University of Sydney estimated last year that
20 percent of households are now energy poor: Parents are going
without food, families are sitting around the kitchen table using one
light, putting extra clothes on and sleeping in one room to keep
warm, and this is Australia 2013.
In the U.S., 70 solar companies beneting from the government
stimulus have gone bankrupt since 2009. Does the U.S. learn from
the failures of the radical green energy movement in Europe, Canada
and Australia and early ones here? No of course not, it instead
doubles down based on bad science (next report).
Friends we are not talking about just inconvenience; cold is a killer.
For the last decade, Brits have been dying from the cold at the
average rate of 29,000 excess deaths each winter, British science
journalist Matt Ridley wrote in The Spectator.
Excess winter deaths from cold hit the poor and elderly harder than
the rich for the obvious reason: They cannot afford heating. They
have to choose between heating and eating.
That could be our future if you dont take the threat seriously and
push back. Time is running out.

Recycling Matters Recycling Matters
by Cheryl Freed
The Recycling/Energy Committee hosted the 2nd annual spring
roadside clean-up on April 19th. Approximately 30 people
(including a group from Planet-Aid) participated in the clean-up of
Greeley Street and Old Derry Road. Several bags of trash and many
bags of recyclable items were collected in the two-hour time frame.
Several residents gave shouts of appreciation as the volunteers
uncovered the side of the roads. Some feedback has been given
regarding making the clean-up more efcient as well as inviting state
representatives to participate in the next clean-up. All comments
and suggestions will be reviewed and incorporated, when possible.
The clean-up discussion led to a conversation regarding littering
and why people litter. Suggestions were made regarding how to
discourage people from littering while encouraging them to dispose
of their trash properly. One easy solution would be to keep a couple
of plastic bags in your vehicle and use one for trash and the other
for recycling then dispose of them when you have access to a trash
and/or recycling receptacle. The committee would welcome any
comments or suggestions the public may have to reduce the amount
of littering within the town.
Littering, or more precisely, not littering is a personal
responsibility. According to the Keep America Beautiful (www.kab.
org) website, Litter cleanup costs the U.S. more than an estimated
$11.5 billion each year. Something to think about the next time
you roll down your window to toss out a coffee cup, a soda bottle or
a cigarette butt.
Bright Ideas for Saving Energy
With the return of warmer weather, a committee member
suggested it is time to get out the clothesline and dry clothes outside
instead of in the dryer. In addition to saving money and energy,
sunshine is a natural germ and odor killer. So string up a clothesline,
get some clothespins and hang a load of laundry out to dry.
Planting deciduous trees around your home will keep it cooler in
the summer and warmer in the winter. According to the Arbor Day
Foundation (www.arborday.org), large deciduous trees planted on
the east, west, and northwest sides of your home create soothing
shade from the hot summer sun and reduce summer air conditioning
costs by up to 35%. After the leaves fall, the sun pours through
tree branches to warm your home in winter. So a little thoughtful
planning could help save money and energy.
On the Road with the Recycling/Energy Committee

It Was a Spectacular Day
for a Celebration with
Bensons Bakery & Cafe
Like Hudson~Litcheld News on
submitted by the Ofce of Congresswoman Annie Kuster
On May 6, the U.S. House of Representatives unanimously passed H.R.
3329, a bill Congresswoman Annie Kuster (NH-02) helped introduce
to increase access to capital for New Hampshire small businesses and
individuals.
As a member of the U.S. House Small Business Committee, supporting
New Hampshire small businesses and helping them access the capital
they need to grow is one of Kusters top priorities. Kuster reached across
the aisle to work with her Republican colleague, Congressman Blaine
Luetkemeyer (MO-03) to help introduce H.R. 3329 late last year. This
bipartisan bill would make it easier for smaller community banks that did
not cause the 2008 nancial crisis to raise capital, making more money
available for loans to New Hampshire small businesses and consumers.
Ive traveled from one end of New Hampshire to another to hear from
small business owners about how the federal government can better
support their job creation efforts. Over and over again, New Hampshire
entrepreneurs have told me that limited access to capital is one of their
greatest obstacles to success, said Congresswoman Annie Kuster. I was
proud to reach across the aisle to work with my Republican colleague from
Missouri to help free up more resources for our countrys small businesses,
and I applaud my colleagues in the House for passing this legislation.
In addition to facilitating small business growth, this bipartisan bill will
also provide relief for hardworking New Hampshire families who turn
to community banks for help buying a home or making other important
purchases.
Bill Passed to Increase Access to
Capital for NH Small Businesses

Lady Cougars Soundly Defeat
Bishop Brady, 9-1
by Phillip Nichols
The Cougars, expected to do well this season, are not disappointing their fans. With just
one loss coming into the game against the Bishop Brady Giants, the Lady Cougars continue
to display their desire to be exceptional by scoring nine runs and giving up just one in their
victory over the Lady Giants on Cinco de Mayo (May 5).
When you have great pitching, as demonstrated by sophomore, Olivia Martinage, who
pitched a complete game (striking out 15 and allowing only two hits), solid defense, and
tack on some great offense it is hard to lose.
Offensively, Emily Paquin (senior) led the way. She had three hits and one RBI, while her
teammates, Brittany McNulla (senior) and Emma Kuczkowski (junior) each added a pair of
RBIs for the Cougars. Meaghan Coughlin (junior) and Carrie Fernandez (junior) each had
one.
Second-year coach, Joe Raycraft said prior to the beginning of the season that, We need
to continue to work hard each day and stay focused on our goals.
With a total team effort like this, do not be surprised to see the Campbell Cougars
successfully win their second Division III title under Coach Raycraft.
Campbell Cougars Control
Bishop Brady Giants in Baseball
by Phillip Nichols
Campbell High School Baseball team nds itself
second in Division III competition following its superior
performance against Bishop Brady on May 5. Defeating
Bishop Brady 12-2 in a mercy-rule shortened ve inning
game.
Pitcher Tyler Butler held the Giants to just six hits
and two runs during the game, while almost the entire
pride of Cougars provided offense. Christian Bourgea
went 3-for-3 with three RBIs and while scoring two runs
scored himself. Bob Baril smashed one deep for his
fourth homer of the year, a three-run shot.
Also contributing on offense was Connor Sahlin, who
went two for two and scored two runs; and Austin Baker,
who was two for three at the plate. At his at bats, Baker
drove in one run and scored a run himself.
Campbells feat was so over powering that the mercy
rule was invoked, ending the game after just ve innings.
Over the past six games, the Cougars have averaged
eight runs per game while holding their opponents to an
average of three runs per game.
While there are still a lot of games left to play, look for
the Cougars to be in the hunt.

Remember disco? The American Heart Association and
Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield in New Hampshire
are pumping new life into the 70s disco classic to help
save lives with Hands-Only CPR.
The American Heart Association campaign uses the
Bee Gees hit Stayin Alive to teach lifesaving Hands-
Only CPR (no breaths, just chest compressions). The
song has more than 100 beats per minute, the near-
perfect rate at which you should push on the chest
during CPR. Thanks to a grant from Anthems corporate
foundation, the American Heart Associations nationwide
Hands-Only CPR awareness campaign and tour is coming
to the Granite State May 20-23, with free educational
programs planned for Portsmouth, Manchester, Nashua,
and Concord.
Nearly 400,000 Americans suffer out-of-hospital
cardiac arrest every year, and almost 90 percent of them
die because they dont receive immediate CPR from
someone on the scene. When begun immediately, CPR
can double or triple a persons chance of survival.
People feel more condent performing Hands-Only
CPR and are more likely to remember the correct rhythm
when trained to the beat of Stayin Alive, said Amy
Dumont, MSN, RN, CCRN, vice president of Patient Care
Services at Frisbie Memorial Hospital and board chair
of the New Hampshire Chapter of the American Heart
Association. Not only is it a fun, catchy and memorable
way to remember what to do, but it works peoples lives
have been saved because of it.
The American Heart Associations nationwide tour,
which features a state-of-the-art mobile CPR training unit,
has helped train more than 10,000 people across the
United States over the past three years.
The program scheduled for Nashua will be held
Thursday, May 22, at Rivier University, 420 South Main
St., from 11 a.m.3:30 p.m.
Each site will host several free training sessions for
the public. Each session lasts about 30 minutes and
includes a free take home training kit. Walk-ins are
welcome, but to guarantee a slot, pre-registration is
strongly recommended. Please visit www.heart.org/
newhampshire to register.
Anthems mission is to enhance and support the
health and well-being of individuals and families, so
a program like this is a natural t for us, said Lisa M.
Guertin, president, Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield
in New Hampshire. We are very excited to bring this
innovative program to our state. Far too many people die
unnecessarily each year from sudden cardiac arrest, and
we are committed to helping improve this public health
crisis.

and tour in New Hampshire, visit www.heart.org/

Bill Passed to Increase Access
to Capital for NH Small
Businesses, Families
submitted by the Ofce of Congresswoman Annie Kuster
On May 6, the U.S. House of Representatives unanimously passed H.R. 3329, a bill
Congresswoman Annie Kuster (NH-02) helped introduce to increase access to capital for
New Hampshire small businesses and individuals.
As a member of the U.S. House Small Business Committee, supporting New Hampshire
small businesses and helping them access the capital they need to grow is one of Kusters
top priorities. Kuster reached across the aisle to work with her Republican colleague,
Congressman Blaine Luetkemeyer (MO-03) to help introduce H.R. 3329 late last year.
This bipartisan bill would make it easier for smaller community banks that did not cause
the 2008 nancial crisis to raise capital, making more money available for loans to New
Hampshire small businesses and consumers.
Ive traveled from one end of New Hampshire to another to hear from small business
owners about how the federal government can better support their job creation efforts.
Over and over again, New Hampshire entrepreneurs have told me that limited access to
capital is one of their greatest obstacles to success, said Congresswoman Annie Kuster. I
was proud to reach across the aisle to work with my Republican colleague from Missouri
to help free up more resources for our countrys small businesses, and I applaud my
colleagues in the House for passing this legislation.
In addition to facilitating small business growth, this bipartisan bill will also provide
relief for hardworking New Hampshire families who turn to community banks for help
buying a home or making other important purchases.

Alvirne Gets Dramatic Walk-off Win over BG
Kaycee Carbone belts a bases-clearing triple in the
Broncos win over the Panthers.
by Marc Ayotte
Were a young team with only three returning starters, indicated
Sara Brisk, the third-year AHS girls softball coach. We started off
slow, observed Brisk with respect to the Lady Broncos 2-4 start to
the season, adding, but its important where we go from here. And
where they have gone as a result of their last two games is into the
top 10 in the Division I standings. After impressive and scintillating,
back-to-back wins over Nashua South and Bishop Guertin,
respectively, the maroon and gold has gained momentum, improving
to 4-4 on the season.
On May 5, Brisks Broncos began a three-game home stand with a
14-2 pummeling of the Panthers. Nashua South entered the contest
winless on the season, and it wasnt long after they got off the team
bus that they realized things werent going to change. The Lady
Broncos welcomed their opponents with a devastating seven-run rst
inning, highlighted by a three-run triple off the bat of Sara Siteman.
South put up a pair of runs in the top of the third, but Alvirnes
Kaycee Carbone would thwart that feeble comeback bid with a
bases-clearing triple of her own in the home half. The Broncos
would go on to score four more in the fth for the mercy-shortened
win. Nicole Teague received the start in the circle and went the full
ve, allowing two runs (both unearned) on three hits while striking
out eight.
On the following day, Alvirne hosted the green and gold from
the other side of the river and in astounding fashion, and despite
an error-fest in the eld defensively, overcame an 11-run decit to
come back and stun the Cardinals with an exhilarating 12-11 win.
Teague, who was near untouchable in the circle the day before,
was victimized by Bronco elding miscues as only one of the seven
runs she allowed was earned. Kellie Kennedy relieved Teague in the
third, and while picking up the win, she was met with a similar fate
as three of the four runs she would surrender in the top of the fourth
were also unearned. And heading into the home half of the fourth
inning the Broncos found themselves on the disconcerting side of an
in-progress, 11-0 whitewashing.
But that would all begin to change when Alvirne plated their rst
runs of the game compliments of Evelyn Susko, who went yard with
two runners on base, cutting the Bronco decit to a mere nine. After
a scoreless fth, Alvirne chopped the Cardinal lead to just three with
ve runs in the sixth; highlighted by a three-run triple from Teague.
With Kennedy shutting down the BG offense again in the seventh,
the Broncos came to the plate for their last at bat.
A pair of walks to Danelle Hagen and Teague sandwiched a
Carbone single; loading the bases with Broncos. Trailing 11-8 and
down to their last out, Siteman delivered with a clutch two-run
double to pull AHS within a run. With Teague and Siteman now in
scoring position, Susko came up huge again with a walk-off, two-RBI
single, culminating the potentially season-dening comeback.
The Bronco bats were led by Susko, who ended the day going
2-for-4 with ve RBIs and a run scored. Siteman (3-4, 2 runs, three
RBIs, 2B), Teague (1-3, three runs, three RBIs, 3B) and Carbone (2-5,
two runs, RBI) also played key roles in the marque win over the now
6-2 Cardinals.
Local Basketball Players Win AAU State Title
submitted by Frank Girginis
This past weekend marked a great
accomplishment for a few local high
school basketball players and coaches.
Amanda Wetmore (Alvirne High School)
and coaches Frank Girginis, Scott
Purcell, and Sandi Purcell from Hudson
as well as Hannah Fabiano (Campbell
High School) and Meg Donovan (Bishop
Guertin High School) won the ninth
grade NH State AAU Championship.
Coached by Girginis and Purcell
the ninth grade New England Flames
swept away the competition during the
weekend tournament at Sportzone in
Derry. In pool play the Flames beat
Gilford AAU as well as the Mass Frenzy
which earned the girls the number 1
seed in pool play. Facing the Frenzy for
the second time in the semi-nals was
a tough task, but the girls rose to the
occasion winning their semi-nal game
54-42.
In the nals the girls faced a tough NH Elite team which has
players from the seacoast schools such as Winnacunnet, Portsmouth,
and Exeter. The game started off close but the Flames led by a game-
high ten points each from Fabiano and Donovan was too much for
the Elite to handle, and the girls went on to win the NH State AAU
championship 63-31.
As a coach I could not be more proud of all the girls, they worked
so hard for what they earned. I know they will enjoy it and take
away some great memories.
Members of the ninth grade state championship team are:
Hannah Fabiano (Litcheld), Meg Donovan (Litcheld), Amanda
Wetmore (Hudson), Meg Morelli,
Erieann Kolden), Molly Dee, Bri
Nordengren, Amanda DAmico,
Abby Field and coaches Frank
Girginis (Hudson), Scott Purcell
(Hudson), and Sandi Purcell
(Hudson).

Broncos Clip Cardinals in Boys Tennis
by Marc Ayotte
The Alvirne Boys Tennis
team pulled to within one
win of .500 on Monday,
May 5 with a 5-4 win over
visiting Bishop Guertin. The
Broncos and Cardinals split
the six singles matches and
headed into the doubles
contests all squared at three
wins apiece. Needing
two wins in the doubles
component of the match
scoring, Alvirne did just
that; taking two of the three
matches for the slim win.
In singles action, number
1 seed Matt OBrien
defeated Guertins top seed
Brian Xiao by an 8-4 score.
The Broncos also received
strong play from number
5-seeded Sam Bonney-Liles
(8-3 over John Krapian)
as well as from Henry
Williams who won his
number 6 seed match over
Peter Scannell, 8 games to four.
In the decisive doubles matches, the number 1 tandem of
OBrien and Raul Stedile brought the Broncos one step closer
to winning the team match when they defeated the best BG
had to offer, handling Xiao/Rishi Yemme by a comfortable
8-4 score. Playing as the number 3-seeded couples, Andrew
Wetmore and Brett Richardson combined for an 8-3 win over
Kyle Charbonneau/John Krapian to secure the team win.
In other singles matches, number 2-seeded Raul Stedile
dropped an 8-3 decision to Jason Lutcza, number 3-seeded
Jared Whalen lost 8-2 to Ryan Montbleau, and Colin Calnan
was defeated 8-3 by Rishi Yemme in their 4th seed match. In
a tough loss in doubles action, Whalen/Bonney-Liles lost
an 8-6 tie-breaker to Lutcza/Montbleau. With the team win,
Alvirne improved to 3-4 on the season.

Seventeen-year-old racer Derek Grifth is
looking to make some waves this weekend as he
attempts his rst ever Pro All-Star Series Super Late
Model event at the Saturday, May 10, PASS 150
from Star Speedway in Epping.
The Hudson native recently tested at the fast
quarter mile and brought along a familiar face to
the racetrack as his spotter for the test session. We
were very fortunate to be able to talk long time star
veteran Bobby Cabral to spot for us, while I tried
to learn the track, explained Derek. Bobby has a
ton of laps here and knows which groove works the
best. I think we easily picked up three-tenths with
just Louies [Crew Chief Louie Mechalides] and
Bobbys advice.
The Grifth racing team
brought their new Lefthander
Super Late Model and their
current SLM that they compete
on the Granite State Pro Stock
Series with to the test session.
Derek talked about how each
car reacted and what they will
ultimately do as the Saturday,
May 10 race approaches. We
thought we would break-
in the new SLM in our test
session and were running in
the high 13s with the car and
then we unloaded the GSPSS
car, which has a 2-barrel
carburetor on it, instead of
the 4-barrel that the new SLM
has, Derek explained. I tell
you what, we pulled low 13s
right off the trailer with the
older car. I think we know which one well take.
The No. 12 LCM Racing/Tyngsboro Motors
Toyota Camry can be seen in action on May 10 at
Star Speedway for the PASS 150 as he attempts his
rst ever Pro All-Star Series event.
We are excited to take this next step in our
racing progression and to go up against the best
from the PASS North Series, I mean to race against
Benjamin, Doiron, D.J. Shaw, Cassius Clark, Ben
Rowe and some of the invaders to the series like
Helliwell, Jr. and Polewarczyk, Jr. is an incredible
opportunity for us. I think we can grab a top-10
but I am hoping for a top-5, or a podium nish
would be even better.
If you cannot make the event in person,
there will be updates on Dereks Twitter @
DerekGrifth12. You can follow Derek this year
at his website, www.DerekGrifth.com. Derek
