Hudson VFW Post 5791 Retires Flags Would be More than a Best Friend Members of the Hudson VFW after the Flag Retirement Ceremony by Rhiannon Snide Under normal circumstances burning an American flag would be a disgrace, but in efforts to properly dispose of the hundreds of faded and worn-out flags being stored at Hudson’s VFW Post, a flag retirement ceremony was held. The ceremony allowed the flags to be “destroyed in a dignified way,” Rob Everett, president of the Men’s Auxiliary, explained to begin the ceremony, “when a flag is in such condition that it is no longer a fitting emblem for display, it should be destroyed, preferably by burning.” Six members of the VFW carried out the ceremony. Bryan Conant, VFW trustee, carried out the role of the service’s color guard; he presented the flags to Senior Vice Commander Mike Dustin and Junior Vice Commander Rob Everett burns the first flag. Dave Ouellette for inspection. After the flags were deemed unfit for further usage, Jack Canatra, delivered the divine blessing to honor the unfit flags; allow them to be burned. The Hudson VFW hosts a flag retirement ceremony once a year, and welcomes all patrons of Hudson to leave their unsuitable flags with the VFW for storage until the proper ceremony can be conducted.

At least $2,500 needs to be raised right away for a down payment so that the process of matching Carter with the right four-legged companion may begin. The fundraiser will be held on Friday, June 26, from 7 p.m. to midnight at the White Birch Banquet Hall, 222 Central St., Hudson. There will be a silent auction, 50/50 raffle and entertainment throughout the evening. Hudson Firefighter Mike Armand, who often sings the national anthem at Hudson events, will be performing an acoustic set. In addition, local cover band Max Voltage, a regular on the southern New Hampshire club circuit for the past four years, will be playing sets of popular rock and roll music from the 1970s to the present. Hudson Firefighter Dave Brideau is bassist/vocalist for the band. In the fall, Carter will enter the fifth grade at Three Rivers School in Pembroke, where he lives, and will be a member of the travel soccer team, which he is very excited about. For the summer, he plans to, “… ride my bike, play basketball and swim,” Carter said. He also plays the snare drum, and hopes to be a firefighter when he grows up.

Staff photos by Rhiannon Snide by Laurie Jasper Carter Lambert is an active, engaging ten-yearold boy. Already standing at 5 feet 2 inches tall, Carter is called a “gentle giant” by his family. Carter has a mom named Jamie, a dad named Eric and a six-year-old brother named Kael. He has bright eyes, an endearing smile and a real zest for life. He also has type 1 diabetes. Carter was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes less than one year ago, in August 2014. He was at his grandparents’ pool and cut himself. His mother, Jamie, decided to check his blood sugar with his grandmother’s glucose meter. His grandmother is also a type 1 diabetic. “I think it was a mother’s instinct,” Jamie said. “I grew up knowing about diabetes. He had some symptoms, and I just decided to check. We checked three times. It was over 600.” That was when their lives changed forever. What would follow were numerous doctor appointments, a lengthy hospital stay and many anxious moments. Since Carter’s pancreas stopped producing insulin, his blood sugar levels can fluctuate dramatically and must be monitored very carefully. For a very active child like Carter, it was quite a change. Carter must check his levels before and after sports, gym, or recess, before and after meals, and throughout the day. “We’re very proud of Carter. Within a month of his diagnosis, he learned significantly and was checking his own numbers and giving himself his own shots,” said Eric. Carter explained matter-of-factly the elaborate equation he does to figure out how many carbohydrates he can eat or how much insulin he may need based on his blood glucose levels. “He’s extremely smart with his numbers, and he does it all in his head,” said Jamie. “You have to use math; I’m always thinking about something,” stated Carter. Carter’s father, Eric Lambert, is a 14-year member of the Hudson Fire Department. “I’ve been on calls for diabetic emergencies, but this has been quite a learning experience. The most difficult time is at night. The first month I was so paranoid, I was up every hour checking on him,” recalled Eric. Then Eric found out about Diabetic Alert Dogs of America, which provides service dogs specially trained to alert diabetics of low or high blood sugar levels. “They scent the sugars on the acids of low and the ketones of high,” said Eric. Captain David Morin of the Hudson Fire Department said, “When Carter was first diagnosed, Eric talked to all of us at the firehouse. We understood the severity of this, and we wanted to help in some way.” The Hudson Firefighters Relief Association decided to host a fundraiser to help Carter’s ECRWSS PRESORTED STANDARD U.S. POSTAGE Delivery of the divine blessing PMA Graduates Take Flight by Len Lathrop Long after they have forgotten the grades on their exams, they will remember the friendships they made at Presentation of Mary Academy.

Dr. Todd Orthodontics Trades in Toothbrushes for Hair-Cutting Shears by Rhiannon Snide In an effort to raise money for children’s cancer research and support, Anne Todd Orthodontics put down the toothbrushes for a day and picked up hair cutting shears. A raffle was held in the orthodontics office for about a month, where patients, friends, and other local dentists could enter to cut Dr. Todd’s hair. While counting down to the moment of Dr. Todd’s hair cutting, patients were welcomed into the office turned salon for refreshments, raffles, and games. Walk-ins were welcomed to donate both hair and money during the event.

Hudson - Litchfield News | June 19, 2015 - 3 Remember Hudson When ... St. Anthony’s Friary Educated Young Men for 25 Years Saint Anthony’s Friary submitted by Ruth Parker On a beautiful fall day in October 1956 Saint Anthony Friary on the Lowell Road was dedicated. By that time the building was complete, landscaped, and the access road from Lowell Road paved. Bishop Brady of Manchester was the celebrant. Of the many sites considered in 1954, this 148-acre property, with 2,700 feet on the banks of the Merrimack River, far excelled others. It was three miles from the Nashua train station with 10 trains to and from Boston on weekdays, six on Sundays. The property was purchased from Laurette Jacques. The site was blessed and groundbreaking began March 26, 1954. Careful and professional design resulted in a three-story quadrangular building with 115 private rooms plus rooms for visitors, suites for staff, an infirmary, a two-story choir, and a library on the third floor. The Province received much professional help for which they were grateful. For nearly 25 years the friary served to educate young men for the priesthood. By 1979 the Friary building and its 172 acres were put on the market and the Town of Hudson was offered first refusal. After 25 years of landscaping by the Capuchin monks the property had pine and fir forests, red and white oaks, maple, birch, ash, hickory, and other trees. There CHS Seniors Dress for ‘Swag Day’ were also handball courts, tennis courts, a swimming pool, and self-contained water and septic systems. The three-story building was served by four stairways and an elevator. The town received permission for a special town meeting on October 19, 1979, in order to decide on the acquisition of the friary at a cost of $2.8 million. Many were in favor and many were opposed. A majority of the voters favored the purchase, but a two-thirds vote was needed. The purchase was defeated by 22 votes. Moving forward to present time, a part of the site has been commercially developed by extending Executive Drive. The Lowell Road frontage at 161 Lowell Road has not been developed.

TOWN OF HUDSON MEETING AGENDA In the past both our NH Senators have supported bills to assure awareness and funding for vaccinations globally. To help finish eradicating polio (down to 24 cases since the start of the year - 70 percent less than the same period last year), Senator Durbin and Kirk have sponsored legislation to broaden senatorial support to complete the process of having polio follow smallpox into history. The measles outbreaks in the last 18 months in the United States remind us that prevention of preventable diseases is global in scope and resources need to be applied internationally. A photo at http://amhistory.si.edu/po shows two lines of children in Memphis in the 1950s awaiting polio vaccination. This photo reveals ready and equal access to vaccines to prevent polio even while legislation supported racial segregation. So why in the United States are public health efforts which benefit substantially more than just those receiving immunizations no longer photo or news worthy? Based on the Kaiser Family Foundation 2013 Survey of Americans on the U.S. Role in Global Health, you agree with the majority of Americans if you support public health efforts not only to protect our own citizens from global diseases but to improve our image abroad. Please contact your NH Senators to encourage them to wear their previous support on their sleeves by offering to cosponsor Senator Durbin’s and Kirk’s legislation, S. Res. 108, lio/virusvaccine/vacraces.htm. You can remind them that a majority of Americans will appreciate their legislative efforts to prevent preventable diseases.

Christine Marsden, Litchfield President, Nathan Cooper Secretary, Alex Scarelli Vice President, Stacey Leary Treasurer, Deb Langton The Litchfield Education Association, voted with a super-majority that its members have no confidence in the Superintendent of Schools, Dr. Brian Cochrane. While several factors played a role in the Association’s decision, all reasons for the decision stem from the teachers’ belief that student needs are not being served in the district.

Below are the minutes from Hudson Selectmen’s non-public session from its meeting of June 9. When the board ends its non-public discussions, they have to take votes in public. No the camera doesn’t come on, but maybe it should. I had to request the minutes and received them very quickly. Let’s walk through them, easy for the Fox with four feet, but that is also two extra to sometimes be in his mouth. The Fire Chief cashed in earned time (vacation and sick time) that he had accrued before he was Chief and some time after he had become Chief. A total of about four weeks of time. It is good as it reduces the liability of the town to have to pay at a later date. Save the fact that it passed 4-0. Now review the second motion, and yes, both were made by McGrath and/or Nichols, just in different order. Additional salary increases for two town employees who had just had adjustments the week before. More on that to follow. Now this passed 3-1 with Selectman Luszey in opposition. The Fox wants to know where the fifth selectman is. All were there at the start of the meeting, all were there as they went into non-public, but only four votes on both motions. If they were there and did not want to vote they would abstain, and the tabulation would be 4-0-1 or 3-1-1. We know Luszey was there because of the no vote and McGrath and Nichols were there as they made and/or seconded the motions. That leaves Coutu and Maddox as missing. Let’s just scratch behind our ear as that is all we will ever know. If one of them were killed I don’t believe that could be kept as part of the non-public section of the meeting. But back to more raises. Two weeks ago the total adjustments were $38,815 when the budget for raises was under $15,000 so from the minutes below the new total is $40,815. Here are the motions you requested after the non-public session of June 9. Motion by Selectman Nichols, seconded by Selectman McGrath, to allow the Fire Chief, Rob Buxton, to buy out 160 hours of earned time leave; 79.3406 hours of earned time comes from time earned prior to his promotion to Fire Chief (union); 80.6594 hours as a non-union employee, carried 4-0. Motion by Selectman McGrath, seconded by Selectman Nichols, to increase the salary of the Executive Assistant by $1,000 and to increase the salary of the Town Administrator by $1,000, carried 3-1. Selectman Luszey in opposition.

Who were the Pennacooks? Why was Passaconaway, the Chief of the Pennacooks, so important? David Stewart-Smith begins this program with the last part of the Woodland Period, when Indians in northern New England were faced with several challenges. By the time of French and English exploration in the region, strong tribal alliances had begun to center along southeastern Maine, coastal and central New Hampshire, and the north shore of Massachusetts. These relationships become known as the Pennacook alliance; a confederacy of about 16 tribal and family groups that held together through severe climate changes: European colonization, devastating epidemic disease and intertribal warfare. Here we see Passaconaway rise to power and place his family in the mainstream of colonial interaction. The program concludes with King Phillip’s War and subsequent events just prior to the turn of the 18th century. Hudson Historical Society, 7 p.m., Hills House, 211 Derry Rd.

As befits the Class of 2015, this has been quite a year! From the classroom to athletics, music, drama, art, student council, robotics, and beyond you have been a busy group. That is a good thing as your energy and drive will serve you well after high school. During your time at CHS you have had excellent teachers who have worked hard to provide you with challenging learning experiences. How you have responded to those challenges is a measure of who you are, and were, as a high school student. In many cases it has also shown how much you have grown, both as a student and as a person. Enjoy your memories of high school but also enjoy the future that you will build as a graduate of Campbell High School. Continue to grow, continue to learn, and continue to represent your family, Campbell High School and the town of Litchfield with the courage, character, respect and responsibility that you have demonstrated in achieving your high school diploma. Graduation Salutatorian: Christopher Beauregard 2015 Sincerely, Brian Cochrane, Ph.D. Superintendent of Schools Litchfield School District Class Essayist: Griffin Kmon CHS Principal Advises Graduates to “Embrace the Future” Congratulations to the graduating class of 2015. High School Graduation is a milestone and a time to reflect on the past, treasure your friendships and look forward to the next adventure. When you entered Campbell High School four short years ago many of you were afraid of taking the next step. It’s been an amazing journey through high school with many fond memories to last a life time. Today as you prepare to graduate from CHS, many of you may feel exactly the same, fear of the unknown, uncertain about your next steps. My advice is to be extremely brave and embrace the future with as much enthusiasm and confidence you can muster. The class of 2015 has made a deep impression on our learning community and it is difficult to say good-bye to a wonderful talented class of seniors. I want to thankyou for stepping into many leadership roles this year and being the heart of Campbell High School. We have so much to be proud of including being a Nationally Ranked High School. Remember the lessons you have learned during your past twelve years of education. Honor and cherish our core values of Respect, Responsibility, Character and Courage. These values will serve you well in difficult situations. “The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams” Eleanor Roosevelt. It is my honor to serve Campbell High School as your Principal.

One can say they took a page out of the softball team’s playbook, as they had to battle back in both the semifinal game, and the Championship game against Monadnock. Nonethe-less they did, and came away with their second straight Division III title, and capping the program’s first undefeated year in school history. Hopkinton provided the Cougars their first real test of the postseason, as they jumped out to an early 1-0 lead in the top of the first inning, at Gill stadium in Manchester.

On Saturday the Cougars came from behind once again, digging themselves out of an early 1-0 hole, facing one of the best pitchers in the division, and arguably in the state, from Monadnock, in Ben Mallet. Campbell kept fighting back, and came out winners, as they cruised to the 11-3 victory. Everything went right for the Cougars on Saturday, as they scored multiple runs, in multiple innings. Those runs were also helped out by a host of Husky errors, but on that stage, you take them any way you can. Ryan Glendye got the win, and finished 9-0 on the year, helping the Cougars cap an undefeated year, which is only the second in school history. Just as the softball team was living in a perfect world, the Campbell baseball team also lived in their own perfect world, because they were literally perfect, the whole year.

That never came to be though, as the Cougars took down the Mountaineers of Berlin High School in the semi-final game (9-6), and then the Spartans of White Mountains Regional High School in extra innings,(7-6). “It’s a lot of work to get here,” Head Coach Mike Soby said. “We played a really good team in White Mountains, and that’s exactly what we planned for.” Both games were no easy task for the Cougars, as they trailed from the start of the game against Berlin, and used a late rally during their last at bats in the bottom of the seventh against the Spartans to send the game to extras. In their semi-final match up against the Mountaineers, Campbell gave up a run in the top of the first inning. They wouldn’t trail for long though, as they scored three in the bottom half of the inning, putting them up 3-1. Gianna Cataldo got the scoring started by hitting a single into left-field, and then moved over to second base, thanks to a passed ball during Meaghan Coughlin’s at bat.
