by Doug RobinsonSince the 1940s,

Hudson Fire Department professionals have been grooming and growing Hudsons youth in fi re service. A commitment to serve, both within the fi re department and the community is the core value taught. The Hudson Fire

Department adopted the program established by the Boy Scouts during the 1970s and formally established the Explorer Post at that time.Youth between the ages

of 14 to 21 are eligible to become an Explorer. Currently the HFD Fire Explorer Post 551 has 15 youth involved.Those who have served in years past a Hudson Explorer are

now working as fi refi ghters in Florida, Colo. Approximately, 40 to 50 Explorer graduates have entered the fi re service as a fi refi ghter or as an EMT/paramedic throughout the United States.The Explorers train and live side by side the Hudson

professionals as they learn fi re service, fi re safety, and the commitment required to community as demonstrated by Hudson fi refi ghters. All Explorers follow the same probationary program that

our probationary fi refi ghters follow. They, too, are required to be probationary fi refi ghters for six months before they are accepted into the program, commented Captain Dave Morin.During their experiences as an Explorer, they will learn

CPR, perform ride-a-longs, learn department policies and procedures regarding fi re suppression perform truck and equipment checks, and live as a fi refi ghter.Explorers are also separated into a work structure consisting

of fi refi ghters, captain, and a chief. As they learn and grow within the program, they are encouraged to interview for promotions as well as assume leadership roles. These life lessons prepare these kids for what will happen to them later in life and teaches them what to expect. It prepares them for a career. The Explorers are very dedicated and want to learn and grow, explained Captain Morin.The Hudson Fire Explorers spend considerable time helping

out neighboring communities, as well as Hudson. During this past weekend, they assisted in the opening of the new Fire Training Center in Nashua and then went to Manchester to

Apples, Bales and Cider Make up the ABCs of Fall

submitted by Presentation of Mary Academy, HudsonThe three kindergarten classes at the Presentation of Mary Academy had their annual fi eld trip to Apple Acres in Windham.

The students have been learning about fall and all the fun things that go along with it. The staff at Apple Acres demonstrates for the children how they make apple cider and peel the apples for homemade apple pie. Farmer Sam treated the students to a hay ride and showed the children how to pick the perfect apple! The visit ends with a sample of cider and a fresh apple donut made on site. The kindergarten students have visited Apple Acres as part of the fall curriculum for the past eight years.

Hudson Fire Explorers Show Dedication, Commitment to Service

What to Expect When You Get to the Polls in March

by Len LathropAt Monday nights Hudson School

Board meeting a budget overview was disseminated to the board by Superintendent Bryan Lane.In his introduction Lane noted

that this a proposed budget that was created through a joint effort between each school and the SAU staff. The proposed budget is

$50,407,312. This amount refl ects an increase of $1,012,005 or 2.05 percent from the current default budget. Projected revenue for the district will decrease by approximately $325,000.Lane outlined the impact. After

taking all funds into account, the town appropriation is proposed to increase by $1,126,320. This will have an impact of 43 cents per $1,000 of property valuation. For a home with an assessed value of $300,000, this would be an increase of $129 annually or $10.75 per month in taxes. The default budget (as defi ned

by SB 2) is calculated as being $50,367,987, which is $39,325 less than the proposed budget. Areas of specifi c increases in the

memo included: $706,000 for health insurance increases; they have budgeted for an 8 percent increase.

$128,000 Transportation, the SAU has budgeted a 10 percent increase. As they will be negotiating a new transportation contract and they wanted to account for any increases that may come from the bus company.

$323,000 Special Education Tuition, as described by Larry Russell at the Sept. 28 school board meeting, the district has had students move into the district in the last fi ve months that require out-of-district placement

for which they could not anticipate.

TechnologyThese above areas account for

$1,157,000, an amount greater than the total increase in the budget.Additional areas of increase

included: $35,000 Facilities for snow removal

$210,000 Facilities for projects that include window replacement at the Early Learning Center (H. O. Smith and Library Street schools), replacement scoreboard at Alvirne High School, VCT tile projects, air conditioning for new computer room at Hills Garrison, locker room renovation at Hudson Memorial School, replacing basketball backboards at Nottingham West Elementary School, and roof fl ashing project at Nottingham West Elementary School.

There are textbook replacement requests for chemistry and earth science at Alvirne High School and for history at Hudson Memorial.There are increases in the area of

technology in both equipment and infrastructure to move forward with the Information Technology Strategic Plan that was previously presented to the school board.Lane is recommending two fewer

teachers at the elementary school level, one at Hills Garrison and one at Nottingham West, due to declining enrollment. Also proposed is to decrease one part-time secretarial position at Nottingham West. The decrease in positions will be done through not fi lling positions of retiring staff.In addition to the budget warrant

article other potential warrant articles will include:

the Hudson Community Center for the Heroin in Hudson - A Community Discussion, they also broke down all the chairs and tables. At the discussion, they could be seen distributing water to the nearly 200 people in attendance.We strive to teach the Explorers what it means to be a

Hudson fi refi ghter. When they put on that shirt, they represent the Hudson Fire Department and they are to act accordingly. When our phones ring, we answer. Period. We are here to serve, and every Explorer understands that value, stated Captain Morin.The Explorers can be routinely seen standing shoulder-to-

shoulder with their adult peers not only at most motor vehicle accidents, but at fi res as well. In addition, they ring the Salvation Army bell, assist with station tours and participate in all Hudson Fire Department functions.Being involved in community is as big a response to our

community as our answering those calls. People look up to fi refi ghter and that is a responsibility they must embrace.

The Hudson Fire Explorers have a bedroom dedicated for their learning should they chose to work a full shift at the fi re department. In this arena, the Explorers perform every duty necessary and required during a fi refi ghters normal shift. Should a call come in during their shift, they will ride with the captain on duty, fully dressed in their turn-down gear, ready for what that call may bring.The Explorers are not allowed to participate in sensitive situations

involving personal injuries or calls where the Explorers may not be suited, these Explorers are learning as they attend school by participating in a live-in Fire Department program. This type of working/educational relationship affords the new fi refi ghter with both hands-on experience with an education, stated Captain Morin.The Manchester Fire Department has hired four Hudson Fire

Explorer graduates, while the Nashua Fire Department has taken on six Hudson Fire Explorers.The Hudson Fire Department has hired four graduates, and they

are currently working as full-time Hudson fi refi ghters.

Hudson Fire Explorers support the grand opening of Nashuas Fire Training Center.

submitted by Ruth ParkerDuring the decades of the 1940s and 50s a business center

developed in Hudson along Central and Ferry streets as you approached the bridge into Nashua. This center evolved, for the most part, in pre-existing wooden buildings many dating back to 1900 or earlier. With the planning of the twin span bridges, new access routes were necessary on both sides of the Merrimack. As a result a large number of buildings in the Hudson bridge area were demolished. Phil Lamoy, owner of the 20th Century Stores, announced his

plans to build a shopping center on Derry Road. Groundbreaking on the 25-acre parcel, which included the site of the former Goodwins Fried Clam Stand, took place July 1969. As the

buildings in the bridge area were scheduled for destruction, Lamoy moved his 20th Century Market into this center in 1970. The shopping center expanded to include a drug store, beauty salon, barber shop, restaurant, department store, and parking for up to 700 cars. Businesses at the time of this photo included: Bargain Outlet, China Village, Clean and Handy Laundromat, Dion Cleaners, Haps Donut and Coffee Shop, Hudson Barber Shop, Hudson News and Card Shop, One-stop Auto Parts, Photo Island, and Continental Academie of Hair Design. This shopping center continued as the 20th Century Shopping Center, but by 1977 the 20th Century Store itself was no longer doing business in Hudson.This shopping center has evolved over time. Today it is knows as

his wife, Kim, a teacher at Hudsons Early Learning Center, will be running a one-half marathon event in support of CHaD (Childrens Hospital at Dartmouth).As New Hampshires only comprehensive, full-

service childrens hospital, the Childrens Hospital at Dartmouth-Hitchcock provides an extended system of care that offers advanced pediatric services, according to CHaD.When a child is born with Congenital Heart

Disease, New mothers often wonder if they did anything to cause their babys CHD writes Boston Childrens Hospital. Experts agree that at this point in time, there is no identifi able reason as to why the heart defect (in the child) occurred.

As a parent, if you have a CHD, doctors recommend that you speak with a genetic counselor or genetic specialist. About 1 percent of all children are born with CHD, but the risk increases if either parent, or a sibling, has CHD. In addition, nine out of every 1,000 babies require intervention to prevent death the fi rst year of life. Approximately 1.3 million people living in

the U.S. today were born with a congenital heart defect, and at least half of these individuals are under age 25.Dave and Kim will participate in the

upcoming 10th Annual CHaD Hero Run. The event will be Oct. 18.

The Cayots have named their team Team Lyra, after Lyra Mae Evans, 3, who passed away from CHD last March. They

have set a fundraising goal of $1,000 for the event, and would greatly appreciate any contributions that can be made at chad.donordrive.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=donate.team&teamID=5219. All monies will be donated to CHaD.Lyras mom, Erika, stated,

This is a great way of honoring my daughter. I love that Kim is running in my daughters name and help getting the word out about CHD. When people think of heart disease, they usually think about heart attacks. An awareness needs to get out there more.Erika continued, Lyra is my

hero and touched a lot of lives in her short time. She spent half her life in the hospital and she had a positive attitude.

Your Generous Hearts and Helping Hands

Making the Holidays Special for our Troopssubmitted by Ted LuszeyIts hard to believe that another holiday packing event is

almost upon us. Operation Care for Troops (formerly known as MooreMart) is gearing up for its holiday shipment to the best darned troops in the world. You have given them so much joy over the years, with your generous hearts and helping hands, that were sure you must be Santas Elves! This year, there are three ways you can help: Fill one stocking or more with the items noted below, donate items

requested by our troops below and well fill the stockings and/or write brief cards or letters to the troops.If You Are Filling Stockings Yourself:If you fill stockings yourself, we need to receive them by Nov.

13. Bring them to us at the Nashua Armory, 154 Daniel Webster Highway, Nashua, anytime from 2:30 to 7 p.m. on Nov. 12 or 13.Heres how to pack them, in order to cram as much stuff as

possible into it without bursting it at the seams. Start with a 14-inch to 15-inch stocking (some have used a 17-1/2 -inch one with the top folded over). Open that stocking wide.

Put two pairs of white athletic socks way down in the toe. Add two or three power bars (like Cliff Bars) on top of

those. Put in a ziplock bag. Fill another ziplock bag with a toothbrush, dental floss, and

a small to medium tube of toothpaste. Add a box of individual powdered drink mix. Gently toss in two packages of those yummy Ramen

noodles. Dont forget a movie-sized box of candy (movie to be

determined). Add a card game for fun or small Nerf ball Top it off with a small package of beef jerky. And most importantly, write a card or a short letter of

cheer to the happy service person whos going to get this stocking!

Now, that is a Christmas stocking!If You Want To Donate Items Instead:If you want to donate items the troops have asked for, we need to

receive them by Nov. 13. Bring them to us at the Nashua Armory anytime from 2:30 to 7 p.m. on Nov. 12 or 13. The troops have asked for these items:

White socks; Power bars; Ramen noodles - packages, not cups; Oatmeal - individual packages; Hot cocoa - individual packages; Tuna pouches; and Nuts/trail mix - individual sizes or smaller package.

If You Want to Write Cards And Letters to the Troops:If you would simply like to write cards or letters to the troops, you

should know that this is their favorite part of the package. You can either write your own upbeat and encouraging words or better yet, gather some friends or family members together and write many letters. Bring them to us at the Nashua Armory anytime from 2:30 to 7 p.m. on Nov. 12 or 13.We know this is a tall order - but we have faith in you, as you have

faith in us! And none of us can ever forget the men and women whose day we make, when they open their Christmas stockings and think of home.Merry Christmas and God Bless our soldiers, sailors, airmen, and

Marines.

submitted by the Office of Congresswoman Annie KusterOn Tuesday, Oct. 1, Congresswoman Annie Kuster

(NH-02) presented a letter to the Federal Regulatory Commission calling for FERC to consider assessing energy projects across the region in tandem with its review of the proposed Northeast Energy Direct pipeline. The letter was read at the final scoping meeting before FERCs preliminary scoping period ends and Kinder Morgan officially files with FERC initiating the Environmental Impact Study process. Congresswoman Kuster has fought for a respectful, comprehensive, and transparent public review process for the pipeline. Moreover, Kuster has made a point to tour key sites in southern New Hampshire that would be impacted by construction and operation of the pipeline. Throughout my tenure in Congress, I have advocated

for smart energy policies that preserve our environment, protect the public, and lower electricity costs for Granite Staters, said Congresswoman Kuster. New Hampshire and the greater New England region are currently faced with a number of energy projects designed to meet the electricity needs of the regional energy market. As the preliminary scoping process comes to an end, I urge FERC

to assess all of the regions proposed projects together to determine a course of action that is in the best interest of the public. FERC must consider all options and alternatives in this process. I will continue listening to town officials and residents from impacted communities and ensuring their concerns are addressed by FERC. I share many of these same concerns and am confident that New Hampshire can find a way to satisfy its energy needs without endangering the people, natural beauty, or the character of our state.This letter comes in the wake of previous letters that

Kuster wrote to FERC and Kinder Morgan highlighting her concerns with the project. Additionally, the congresswoman has previously joined with the other members of the New Hampshire congressional delegation to call for more public meetings in communities that could be affected by the proposed pipeline, in calling for a review of FERCs process for determining public need, and expressing concerns about the ability of impacted residents to contribute to the federal review process of Kinder Morgans Northeast Energy Direct natural gas pipeline.

Bipartisan Group of Attorneys General Endorses Ayottes Heroin Legislation

Attorneys General from 38 States Urge Passage of Comprehensive

Addiction and Recovery Act of 2015submitted by the Office of U.S. Senator Kelly AyotteThe week of Sept. 28, a bipartisan group of Attorneys General

from 38 states including New Hampshire - sent a letter to leaders of the House and Senate Judiciary Committees endorsing the Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Act of 2015. Senator Ayotte joined a bipartisan group of colleagues to reintroduce the bill earlier this year. The letter was sent on behalf of the National Association of Attorneys General and signed by 38 attorneys general, including New Hampshires Joseph A. Foster. Law enforcement has always been on the frontline when it

comes to drug crises, but we cannot arrest ourselves out of the current epidemic. Research shows the best way to address this challenge is through a strategy that includes prevention, law enforcement, reduction of overdose deaths, evidence-based treatment, and support for those in, or seeking, recovery, wrote the Attorneys General.Only through a comprehensive approach like the one outlined

in this bill can we reverse current trends. We are grateful for your leadership and urge all Members of Congress to support The Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Act of 2015, they continued.

by Laurie JasperThe community came together on Thursday, Oct. 1, as the Area

News Group hosted Heroin in Hudson - A Community Discussion at the Hudson Community Center. More than 16 area organizations volunteered their time to provide information and support to the public regarding the opioid addiction crisis experienced in many local communities.

Panelists invited to speak included U.S. Senator Kelly Ayotte; panelist Charlene Morissey; Hudson Firefi ghter/Paramedic Greg Rich; Hudson Police Detective Sergeant Jason Lucontoni; Lori Magoon, manager of Southern New Hampshire Medical Center Substance Misuse Intensive Outpatient Program; Alvirne Guidance Counselor Dan Wells; Sandi Coyle, director of New Futures; and John Wozmak, senior director for Substance Misuse and Behavioral Health, State

of New Hampshire Offi ce of the Governor.Before and after the panel

discussion, adults had the opportunity to enter a mock teenage bedroom that contained over 80 warning signs and indicators of potential drug use and underage drinking. Safe Surroundings founder and licensed clinician Melissa Fernald spent the evening explaining all of the curious items parents might not notice. The Area News Group sponsored this eye-opening display. Doug Robinson from the Area

News Group moderated the discussion. Among those in the crowd of approximately 200 attendees were invited guests: State Senator Sharon Carson; Speaker of the New Hampshire House of Representatives Shawn Jasper; and State Representatives Eric Estevez, Robert Haefner, Lynne Ober, Russell Ober, Kimberly Rice, Gregory Smith, Charlene Takesian, Jordan Ulery. Hudson Selectmen Chairman Richard Maddox and Roger Coutu, along with Superintendent of Schools Bryan Lane and Hudson School Board Member Patty Langlais, also attended. Police Chief Jason Lavoie, Captain William Avery and Hudson Fire Chief Rob Buxton, along with several other members of the departments were also there. The Firefi ghter Explorers assisted in setting up and taking down the chairs and tables and handed out bottled water throughout the evening. Robinson opened the evening with Alexs Video, My Life as a

Heroin User. This video introduced the audience to Alex, who started smoking marijuana in middle school and eventually became a heroin user, but entered recovery at age 18. Kids need to know theres more to life than drugs, said Alex in the video. Parents need

to know they just cant ignore it. Robinson next introduced Hudson

Superintendent Lane. Alex was one of my students, said Lane, formerly Alvirne High Schools principal. Alex is one of my children, he is one of all our children. He is every child, continued Lane. To the obvious surprise and pleasure of Lane and the crowd, which burst into applause, Alex approached his former principal at the end of his remarks and gave him a big hug. Next, Charlene Morrissey gave a

personal account of having a son who is a recovering addict. Dont hate the addict, hate the disease, she shared, concluding, As a mother, my drug of choice is love.Hudson Firefi ghter/Paramedic Greg

Rich gave an informative PowerPoint presentation about heroin. In 2014, Hudson dispatched 73 calls as overdoses. Already in 2015, that number is 43. There were 51 uses of Narcan (used to revive those who have overdosed) by EMS in 2014, and 41 so far in 2015. Rich started by explaining that heroin is an opioid drug derived from morphine, which is obtained from opium poppy plants. Heroin binds the receptors in the brain to produce its body-wide effects, Rich said. It is a downer, so it slows breathing. Next, Rich explained that Narcan is an opioid antagonist, which reverses the effects of opioids. However, he stressed that Narcans effects last for a shorter amount of time than the effects of heroin. With the heroin on the street now stronger than ever, due to other opioids like fentanyl being cut into the heroin, it is taking smaller amounts of heroin to cause an overdose.

Rich said that medical attention is needed immediately, even after Narcan is administered. Hudson Police Detective Sgt.

Lucontoni explained that heroin can be different colors, depending on what it was cut with, from off-white to tan or brown. Heroin can be used in many different ways, injected, smoked (inhaled) or snorted (sniffed). Lucontoni shared a list of signs and symptoms of heroin use (see chart to the right).I treat all

prescription drugs like a loaded gun in my house. I lock mine up, said Lucontoni. He then told the crowd that, while it was recently National Drug Take-Back Day, the Hudson Police Department

offers that service every day. The police station has a collection box for unused and expired prescription drugs. There is no excuse to keep expired, unused prescriptions. The price is right and the hours are great. It is free and we are open 24 hours a day, 365 days per year. We ask zero questions, Lucontoni added. Lucontoni then shared a very personal story

about how heroin has affected his family. He showed a picture of his godchild, who lives in another state and was a star athlete and straight-A student who got injured and became addicted to pain medications. He then turned to illegal drugs. Heroin does not discriminate;

it has no boundaries, said Lucontoni. His advice included be involved in your childrens lives, become educated about drug use signs and symptoms, and be understanding. U.S. Senator Ayotte,

returning to New Hampshire from Washington, D.C., addressed the crowd. A couple of weeks ago I had the opportunity to go on a ride-along with the Manchester Police Department, and within an hour and a half we went to two heroin overdoses, Ayotte said. This issue is staggering to me, having served as attorney general of our state, and the number of drug deaths that weve had in the State of New Hampshire that are in 2014 - 320 deaths, and, in fact, fatal drug-related overdoses, 250 of those were heroin and fentanyl, she said. Ayotte explained that the drug dealers mix the heroin with the fentanyl, which is 40 times more powerful than heroin, and people dont even realize what they are taking. In addition to illegal drugs, Senator Ayotte

discussed the problem of prescription drugs. She thanked the fi rst responders and those on the panel. You being here tonight is going to make a big difference, she said. Senator Ayotte has been a part of a bi-partisan

group in Washington that has introduced multiple pieces of legislation to address the opioid crisis and expand prevention, treatment and recovery. The Comprehensive Addiction Recovery

Act is one that focuses on prevention, support for prevention and education, Ayotte said.

She stressed that at the federal level a national prevention campaign is key, working with local feedback, as well as giving the people on the front lines the tools they need.This is one we all have to work together on. I

thank all of you who will be sharing your stories. I look forward to the discussion, Ayotte concluded. Lori Magoon, manager of Southern New

Hampshire Medical Center Substance Misuse Intensive Outpatient Program, talked about treatment. I dont like the term drug addict, they are a

person, Magoon began.We need to understand addiction and how it

works, she continued. When you are living in your primitive brain, it is all about survival, you are either frozen, running or will fi ght. The frontal lobe doesnt work anymore, Magoon said. She stressed that those who face addiction need treatment, not judgment. Magoon said that most people addicted to opioids also have anxiety disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder or attachment disorder. Treatment

involves learning triggers, and most importantly working with family members. Alvirne Guidance

Counselor Wells said the schools are the front lines of what is going on with our young people. Wells discussed the proactive responses the Hudson School District has in place, including the Drug Abuse Resistance Education Program (DARE), drug education in Memorial School and Alvirne High School health classes, and Red Ribbon Week annually in the elementary schools and middle school. The schools also respond to help students obtain help they need. The Hudson School District now employees a full-time At-Risk Coordinator, Heather Parsons, who works with all the schools.The key word for warning

signs of substance abuse is change, said Wells. Sandi Coyle, director of

New Futures, received a standing ovation when she shared that she is a recovering alcoholic and drug addict, and has had no mind-altering drugs for 11 years.

Two years ago, less than a handful in my life knew I was a person in recovery, said Coyle. I am a person in long-term recovery, Coyle now tells people. I raise the fl ag of hope, she said. Coyle said there are many pathways to recovery and shared various options. John Wozmak, New

Hampshires drug czar, said he is working on prevention, treatment and recovery and has issued 22 recommendations to Governor Maggie Hassan. I am working with the Department of Education, Wozmak said. He said prevention messaging needs to be, infused and incorporated into curricula and not just simply added on.The heroin addicts I have interviewed on average shoot up 10

times a day the real issue is the heroin addicts in the community far outnumber the overdoses and deaths, said Wozmak. Wozmak urged people to think of Narcan as CPR; it will help but you need to call 9-1-1 fi rst. Prevention is a community effort, Wozmak said. Several audience members asked questions of the panel at the end of

the presentation. Len Lathrop, the Area News Groups publisher, said the paper is part

of the community and it is important to him to host events like this for the residents of Hudson. This event was Dougs idea. The paper hosted an Alzheimers event

and sponsors other events throughout the year, including the annual turkey raffl e for the Alvirne Booster Club, Lathrop said. While I had the vision, I was

supported by many dedicated volunteers who shared their time to put on this program. This town has so much spirit; everyone there said, what can I do? The panel offered hopeful solutions, said Robinson. Among the agencies represented at

the community discussion: Hudson Fire Department; Hudson Police Department; the Hudson School District; Southern New Hampshire Medical Center; Pelham Community Coalition; FED UP; Gatehouse Sober Community; Families Advocating Substance, Treatment, Education and Recovery (F.A.S.T.E.R.); Hope for Recovery; Lamprey Health Care; Merrimack River Medical Services;

Senate Panel Approves Legislation to Address Newborn Opioid Dependency

submitted by the Offi ce of U.S. Senator Kelly AyotteThe Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee

voted unanimously on Wednesday, Sept. 30, to approve the Protecting Our Infants Act of 2015, legislation that U.S. Senator Kelly Ayotte is cosponsoring to address the increasing number of newborns born with opioid dependency. The House of Representatives previously passed companion legislation, and the bill now awaits consideration by the full Senate. As a co-sponsor of this bill, I welcome the committees approval

of this legislation, which is an important step toward addressing an urgent and especially tragic aspect of New Hampshires heroin epidemic. By supporting state, local and federal partnerships and working to address current gaps in research and treatment, this bill will give us the necessary tools to combat the growing problem of neonatal abstinence syndrome. I urge my colleagues to approve this bipartisan measure without delay so we can better protect both pregnant mothers with opioid use disorders and their newborns.The Senate version of the Protecting our Infants Act of 2015 was

introduced by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and Senator Robert Casey (D-PA). The bill would direct the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to develop a comprehensive plan that helps address the increasingly high number of infants exposed to opioids while in the womb, resulting in dependency and withdrawal.Across the nation, the number of infants diagnosed with newborn

withdrawal has increased by 300 percent since 2000. Researchers also estimate that every hour more than one dependent infant suffering from withdrawal is born. In May, Senator Ayotte led a discussion at the Catholic Medical Center (CMC) in Manchester to hear from medical personnel and fi rst responders who treat and respond to cases of newborn withdrawal. CMC offi cials reported that 7 percent of newborn babies were born with neonatal abstinence syndrome, a 4 percent increase from last year. According to offi cials at CMCs Pregnancy Care Center, close to half of the mothers cared for are struggling with a substance use disorder.

Anyone Anytime can Experience AddictionThe Facts about Narcan

by Doug RobinsonAnyone anytime can experience addiction, according to drugfreenh.

org/anyoneanytime.In response to the heroin epidemic being faced in many towns, the

Questions regarding Naloxone, commonly known as Narcan. This drug is administered to those who have had an opioid overdose.The following questions and answers have been prepared and

reviewed by several work groups associated with the Opioid Task Force of the NH Governors Commission on Alcohol and Drug Abuse Prevention, Treatment, and Recovery. Members of these work groups have included senior staff of the NH Medical Society, the NH Board of Medicine, the NH Board of Pharmacy, and the Attorney Generals Offi ce, according to Anyone Anytime.

From a dental point of view, nursing babies from bottles can cause problems. Dentally

-speaking - what's the

worst thing you can do to a baby? Stick him in his crib with a bottle at nap time and let him fall asleep with the bottle in his mouth. Milk or juice in the mouth and on the teeth will produce an acid that will cause teeth to break down rapidly. Many babies who sleep with a baby bottle develop severe tooth decay, often in their front teeth. The

sugar in the milk, formula or fruit juice causes the decay. Sometimes, these teeth become so decayed they cause severe pain and may break off or have to be extracted.

During the day, the baby swallows these drinks quickly, so there is no damage to the teeth. But during sleep, the liquid pools behind the baby's teeth and keeps them bathed in sugar for hours.

One solution is to give baby the last feeding before bedtime. If your baby is still using a bottle when his teeth begin to appear, let him use it for short periods of time awake or sitting up. If he is using a bottle as a pacifier, put water in the bottle

Reading, Talking or Singing

submitted by Bryan Lane, Superintendent of Hudson SchoolsThere are many times that school district employees

are asked by parents, What can I do to help my child?As I refl ect on this question, my response to any parent

would be that you as a parent are the childs fi rst and most important teacher. Just as the work the school district does in the early grades supports the students ability to be successful later on, the interactions you have with your children from the time they are born support their future learning. There is a great deal of research on this. One thing that parents can do is to talk to their children. Successful students will hear between 40 million and 50 million words by the time they reach fi rst grade. There are about 1 million words in the English language so our kids are destined to hear the same words over many times.The way to work with your children to hear these

words is to speak with them, read with them or sing with them. An important concept here is that you are interacting with the child and that they can interact with you. The words can come from any person who is willing to spend the time with a child. Parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, family friends and older siblings can all be part of the process. When the child can associate the things they see with the words they

hear and then they can become part of the conversation. That is when the fun really begins! One thing that the research emphasizes is that these 40 to 50 million words are not effective if they come from a media source. That would mean that television, videos, and computer games (no matter how educational) are not going to be the answer. Interaction with the child from a caring person is what makes the difference.The best thing about this is that it is free! The only

thing it costs the person talking to the child is time. If you want to fi nd books for your children

so you can read to them, our public library has many childrens books. This level of interaction can transfer beyond the age of 5 in that you can develop habits and traditions around communication that can carry on throughout your familys lives. So, turn off the TV, put down the video game, silence the cell phone, turn off the movie in your car and talk to your children. Make it a tradition; make it something the kids look forward to, make it something that will create a life-long difference for you and your child. It will be rewarding for them and for you.

Vocational Center at Alvirne High School, which at this time is planned to be funded from a capital reserve account, so doesnt effect the tax rate.

Collective Bargaining Agreement with the Hudson Federation of Teachers is at this time very hard to project; however three years ago when the last contract was voted upon, the effect was $328,000 or about 13 cents on the tax rate

Collective Bargaining Agreement with the AFSCME, district leadership affects the tax rate by about 3 cents.

Non-lapsing warrant articles to fund Building and Special Education Funds are funded at the end of the fi scal year from surplus in the budget. Surplus is the result of purchases not being made or positions not being fi lled.

A preliminary estimate at this point would be 59 cents per $1,000 of property evaluation, as this is a proposed budget and there are many reviews before it goes to the polls in March 2016.

And the Answer is ...The Area News Group

has received several responses identifying the What is It? tool pictured in the Sept. 25 and Oct. 2 editions of the HLN. In our readers own words they correctly identifi ed the mystery tool.The tool is a model

267D or 267E machinists speed indicator. When the tip of the tool is pressed against the center of a rotating shaft, it counts the number of revolutions. When used in conjunction with a stopwatch, the tool can be used to determine the shafts rotational speed in revolutions per minute. Several versions of this type of
