 Air Force JROTC Cadets Recognized for Exceeding Standards

by Len LathropAmy LaBlanc knew how it felt when her husband, Steve, was called up in 2004 and

2010, so when the New Hampshire National Guard 3rd Battalion 197th Field Artilleryanswered our nation’s call recently, she wanted to do something for the families justbeginning to understand what a deployment meant.

Her family and friends joined her to put together a brunch and family day. Hudson‘sAmerican Legion Post 48 donated its hall and facilities for the event. While the brunchwas amazing with quiches, sausage, bacon, French toast, and fruit pastries; the hallwas decorated with flowers on every table, color placemats with the unit’s logos andinsignias.

Alvirne High School senior cadet officers were there, greeting the families, helpingthem with the raffle tickets and giving out carnations to every wife or mother who came

in.National Guard soldiers are used to training two weeks every summer and servingtwo weekends a month, but their lives change when they are called up. Amy and herhusband mentioned that in 2010 he was gone for 17 months; from Amy’s face youcould see that she still remembered that deployment. This event was more than just abreakfast. It was a wish for the best and a shout-out that these families don’t need tofeel alone; the guard has family resources and the American Legion is always there tohelp. Saturday showed the bond that former military still have for the families of thosecurrently on active duty.

“The foundation of the National Junior Honor Society is basedupon five pillars,” said eighth grader Angad Chugh, Nashua CatholicNJHS Chapter president. “They are scholarship, service, character,leadership, and citizenship, and each of our new inductees have

proven himself or herself worthy of selection based upon thesepillars.”

Seventh graders Kristen Coumas and Chloe Tardif, both of Hudson, joined with 28 other new inductees and 22 standing members torecite the chapter pledge before Christofily Baker, Nashua Catholicfaculty adviser, who presented each new member with their pin.

He told them that he was very proud of their effortsand congratulated them, as well as their proud families and friends.He also said that Nashua Catholic was the only junior high school inthe diocese with a Junior Honor Society.

nation’s premier organization established to recognize outstandingmiddle school students by encouraging every student organization,especially student councils and honor societies, to promote theidea that new skills, values, and perspectives are essential to strongstudent leadership in the 21st century.

Parents spend countless hours in the cardriving their children back and forth to sportscommitments and other non-school activities.So where are these same dedicated parentswhen it comes to their children’s schools?

Oh wait. I think I just heard a pin drop.It probably makes sense to go back to Election

Day. Do you remember where you were onNovember 4th? Maybe you were one of the hardyfew who made it to the polls that day to cast avote. If not, a small number of Hudson residentsmade the decision for you. And so, the voters didnot support the Hudson School District’s proposedbudget. That means that the 2015-2016 schoolyear will operate under a default budget that,ultimately, has required $1.5 million in cuts.

All of us are quick to complain when somethinggets taken away from us, but do we step forwardto be a part of the solution?

Hudson Superintendent Bryan Lane has

probably spent his fair share of restless nightswondering where these cuts would occur. Whatan agonizing process.

In the April 17 edition of the Hudson~LitchfieldNews there was a guest editorial from Amy Sousa.She spoke about the school budget based onher conversations with Business AdministratorKaren Burnell and Superintendent Lane who bothassured her that the educational programs wouldnot be impacted by the default budget. Dr. Sousaworks in treating many disadvantaged youngpeople with a myriad of challenging diagnosis.She is a professional who understands theeducational process in detail.

In her guest editorial, she talked about goalsand the definition of public education, as wellas the efforts of Hudson educators. In closing,she asked what the purpose of public educationwas and encouraged readers to send her theirideas in 30 words or less by May 1. At the end ofApril, the paper had received only two legitimateresponses to Amy’s question and even one ofthose was from a ‘John Jane Doe’ email, but theone true response was “my teachers taught andled by example, teaching students, a higheststandard of academics, discipline, respect, andhard work. They sometimes operated on a defaultbudget without lowering students’ educationalquality.” The response from the ‘Does’ wasHudson education should mean our teachersare teaching to a higher standard, preparingour children for bright future. Teaching onegrade level and above and mastering basic andintermittent skills.

After reviewing the handful of emails, Dr. Sousaposted her question to a closed Facebook sitefor Hudson parents where several more positiveresponses were received.

“I read the question in the HLN. This was awonderfully written article on your part. Likeeveryone else, I was left at a loss of what this

question was pertaining to. Education as a whole?Education to me? Honestly- teach. I send mykids to public school to socialize, adjust to varioussituations and peers, and to learn how to spell,write, do math, read. I would love to see morethinking outside of the box, more pen pal writing,more field trips to local places of value (Town

Hall, Senior Center to volunteer, Concord Capitalbuilding, etc). I would like less testing, less Federal$ reliance, less diagnosis of “behavioral” mattersand more emphasis on learning- both aboutindividualism & typical school work. Is this evenan answer to the question?” 

“Why are you asking? What do you think itis? This question is a very wide open-endedquestion and given the climate of how the votingwent in March, it is a very loaded question, too. Iwould start by asking that question to the schoolboard first - I would be curious to see how theyrespond. There is a long history of opinions ofwhat a “public education” is ... In the beginning,it was used as a way to educate the children of

immigrants so that they could teach their parentshow to speak American English and have a way tocommunicate with the government services; read-

 pay taxes. Now it is a law to provide every childwith a quality education to be a better citizenand contribute positively to society. That is thenutshell. Of course there are other questions inhow does a community provide that education.There are so many more facets to this idea of

 public education, as I am sure you are trying toroot out with this post. So many opinions on whatconstitutes a quality education.” 

“Public education is a means to educate allchildren to prepare them for lifelong learning andhelp them to reach their full potential as a happyand productive member of a civil and prosperoussociety. As a benefit, quality universal publiceducation raises the prosperity of society as awhole and enables the success of the democratic

 process.” 

Dr. Sousa responded: “The goal of the questionis meant to inspire conversation about the missionand value of our educational system. The missionshould drive the decision making. Right now,voters are presented with bottom line spendingfigures without a clear sense of what is beingpurchased and what we’re trying to achieve. Inmy line of work, you start with the mission thenyou allocate funding. So, what are we trying toachieve?”

Did we get the public more involved? Maybe,but most likely Apathy will prevail as the schoolboard meetings are not fi lled with very fewoffering to help or even giving their opinion. And,as of May 4, next week’s budget is not set and theargument at the board level is still where to makethe final cuts. Is the band going to two awayfootball games more important than library books,or should some part of co-curricular/athletics go?

As we advise our kids to do, we, too, need

to use all of this as a learning experience.Obviously, all of our children can still receive agreat education here in Hudson, default budgetor not. Still, maybe next year we’ll all pay a littlemore attention when Election Day arrives so ouropinions can be counted.

Backyard Fireworks: Why So Many?

Over the course of several years living in Litchfield,I have seen the number of neighbors doing a fireworksdisplay go from zero to four. Not only are peoplefinding extra money in their pockets to invest in thepurchase of fireworks, it seems that the neighbors aretrying to outdo each other in the quantity and varietyof explosives as well as the length of their display. I’veprobably witnessed more fireworks going off in the lastfive years than I did in my previous 40-plus years of life.

In this town, landowners are required to obtain afire permit, issued based on weather conditions. Butlandowners are not being asked to obtain a permit tocarry out a fireworks display in their yards. As a result,multiple displays are occurring in one neighborhoodon one day. When, in my case, four neighbors chose tohave them last year, their decision produced deafeningnoise for hours. Tis was on July 5, as we had arainy 4th, which fortunately helped lessen the risk of wildfires. While loud cannons and exploding Romancandles might give some people a thrill, their noiseis hurtful to others, animals in particular. Pets and

 wildlife are very sensitive to the sudden loud, echoingexplosions and will seek refuge from the noise. Whenmultiple cannons are being fired at once or even atintervals from various directions over the course of 2-3hours, being in my home on the 4th is like being in thecenter of a battlefield, not knowing when or where thenext bomb will drop, nor when the shelling will finallyend.

In addition to having empathy for a nimals in thearea, the families who like to celebrate the 4th of Julyby setting off explosives should consider people with aheart condition when they explode bombs at randomduring the day and into the night. Tey should alsoconsider that in time of summer drought, their actionscan result in wildfires. And that if any person in theircrowd is careless or drunk, their actions can result inserious injuries. Fireworks high in the sky can inspireawe. But allowing so many non-professional individualsdo whatever they want with them is a recipe for disaster.

Unlike fireworks that explode too close to our houses,a Professional Firework Display is a thrill to watch and

can be a treat for young and old. On July 4, HolmanStadium in Nashua hosts a day of activities, culminating with the Fireworks Display at 9:00. You can bringyour family and friends there to enjoy the fun, and you won’t have to spend your money at the fireworks storesthis year. Anyone who feels that changes should bemade regarding the use of fireworks in our town, call424-4046 or email your suggestions to our selectmen attownhall@litchfieldnh.gov.

submitted by NH House of RepresentativesAfter years of being missing, a historic

document first presented to the New HampshireHouse of Representatives In 1885 by StilsonHutchins of Laconia is coming home. Speaker

Shawn Jasper, himself a lifelong student of history,unveiled the document May 6 at the State Houseprior to the regularly schedule house session.

“When I first learned of the discovery of thisdocument I knew that we had to bring it back

to its rightful place in the New Hampshire StateHouse,” said Speaker Jasper. “When Mr. Hutchinsfirst presented the document to his colleagues inthe House in 1885 it was with the hope that itwould remain in our legislative chamber.”

On July 4, 1876, the Centennial of AmericanIndependence, a document signed by President

Ulysses S. Grant, was created by order of a specialact of congress to honor the historic milestone. Itwas titled, “The  Administration of the 4th, 1876.”It was then signed by the cabinet members,Supreme Court justices, and members of the U.S.Congress. Only New Hampshire native and VicePresident Henry Wilson’s name is missing becausehe had recently died while in office. On August26, 1885, Representative Hutchins, who wouldone day publish what is now the ManchesterUnion Leader , presented a framed copy of thisdocument to the New Hampshire House. SaidHutchins at the time of the presentation, “I havethought it would be a peculiarly appropriateaddition to the historical treasures of thelegislative chamber, where it has beenplaced by the Sergeant-At-Arms, and whereI trust it will remain.”

At some point in New Hampshire history,perhaps during one of the renovationsof the State House, the framed copy

disappeared. Some thought it may havebeen stolen. It remained an historicalmystery for many years until recently.While shelving was being removed fromthe New Hampshire Archives building inConcord, the crated copy was discovered.

“As the original donor, Stilson Hutchins,had requested in 1885, I am having thisunique part of New Hampshire historyreturned to its rightful place in the NewHampshire House for our citizens to enjoy,”added Jasper.

HELP WANTED

by Len LathropRecreation Director

Dave Yates has been infront of the selectmentwice recently topropose developing apickleball park at theformer skateboard park,located at the corner ofMelendy and CentralStreet.

Vandalism at theskateboard park forcedits closure over a year

ago; at that time theHudson HighwayDepartment removed allthe ramping from thiscourt.

What is pickleball?A lively racket gamefor all ages and ability,pickle ball was createdwith one thing in mind:fun. It was designed to be easy to learn and play whether your 5or 85 or somewhere in between. Pickleball is traditionally playedon a badminton-sized court with special pickleball paddles madeof wood or high-tech aerospace materials. The ball is similar toa wiffle ball, but slightly smaller. The lower net and wiffle ballallow the game to be accessible to people of all ages and abilities,while still allowing more competitive players to test their mettle. Inaddition to the modified net and gear, there are several key rules inpickleball that help make the game more accessible. In tennis and

many net sports games are won or lost by the power of the serve; inpickleball, the ball must bounce once on each side before volleysare allowed. This opens the game to more players andextends place for added fun.

Pickleball was invented in 1965 on the Bainbridge Island outsideSeattle. The goal, then and now, was to create a game that is fun forevery member of the family.

The global courts are recommended to be 20 feet by 44 feet forboth singles and doubles play; the net is lowered from the standardbadminton height of 36 inches on the end and 34 inches in themiddle. The recommended space for the court to include out-of-bounds areas should be 22 feet by 56 feet.

Yates presented to the selectmen that he has met with a contractorand that the biggest cost of converting the former skateboard park

would be about $6,000, most of which would be for resurfacingof the court and repairing cracks. During the board’s April 28meeting, Yates said current plans would be one pickleball and oneshuffleboard court at that location. Selectman Coutu asked Yatesabout the equipment needed to play pickleball as players wouldhave to provide their own balls and rackets.

Yates passed around the sample of the paddles and the balls used.A quick search of the Internet, showedthat paddles can range in price from roughly $10-$12 up to $50and are made of many different materials; some even have noise-reducing paddle material. The balls are made for durability andlongevity and appeared to be about $2.50 apiece.

Schematics of how pickleball and shuffleboard will fit into thecurrent skateboard area are still in the development. Yates said onMonday that he wasn’t ready to release the plans as there are somemodifications to the plan that he is taking back to the selectmen.The understanding is that the Hudson pickleball park could beopened by summer.

Pickleball is Coming to Hudson

flower beds with brickwork at all three fire stations in Hudson. Theproject is being done in conjunction with the fire department’s plansto install new signage at each station.

Gendreau, 16, a Life Scout, the second highest rank attainable, istaking on the project as part of his requirements to achieve his EagleScout ranking.

The idea for the project came from his work as a fire explorerwith the Hudson FireDepartment. Gendreau, whosays he hopes to become afirefighter/paramedic someday, isparticipating in the Hudson FireExplorer program. He started inthe program as soon as he waseligible, at 14.

When it was time forGendreau to come up with anidea for his project, he wanted

to do something that involvedhelping the fire department. “Iwent to my fire explorer adviser(Captain Dave Morin) and askedif there is anything that theyneeded” and that is where theidea came from. Morin said thatthe project “comes at a perfecttime (as) the signs are all indisrepair and this will be a greatimprovement to each station”because it will enhance all ofthe new signage.

All aspects of the project needto be thoroughly documentedthroughout the project. Recordsmust be kept including amaterials list, size of the project,projected staffing needs, allrelated costs and expensesfor the project, and plans for

fundraising and donations.A junior at Alvirne High

School, Gendreau had topresent the idea to the HudsonFire Department, the EagleBoard, and the HudsonBoard of Selectmen. He hasgotten approval from eachorganization, and can nowmove forward with the project.

Gendreau hopes to getdonations from local businessesto help cover some of thecosts and materials that will be

necessary. He is also planning on holding car washes in May and June to raise funds.

If all goes well, Hudson residents should see the new flower bedsat each fire station by the end of the summer. “I hope it makespeople more likely to look at the signs and see the messages put outby the fire department,” said Gendreau.

Whetheryou decide to whip up somehomemade confections in thekitchen or visit a nearby storefor something decadent, momwill no doubt appreciate thechance to indulge on her bigday. Moms who prefer cook-ies and portable snacks will nodoubt enjoy Pocky and Péjoybiscuit sticks. These tasty snacksfrom Gilco are dipped or filledwith popular flavors, such aschocolate and strawberry, andare now available with greentea cream. Pair with a cup oftea, coffee or whichever bever-age mom prefers to comple-ment her favorite treat. Pocky isavailable in most grocery stores,and can typically be found inthe Asian food section.

Pair the mealwith her favorite wine andmake sure you handle allthe cleanup.

While mom waits for din-ner to be served, a soothingcup of tea can set the tonefor a relaxing evening. The

Planan easy menu of foods thathave portability. It’s easy totransport hot or cold foodswhen you have Tiger Stain-less Steel Thermal Wares on

hand. A refreshing fruit salad can be kept cool for about 8 hours.If mom prefers pasta primavera, the thermal container can keep itwarm and ready until it’s time to enjoy.
