Cannot Be Combined. Expires 9/4/2014

by Lynne OberAfter hearing a proposal and reviewing a job description, the

Hudson School Board voted unanimously to approve the position of at-risk coordinator for the school district. This coordinator, who would report to the assistant superintendent of schools as part of the SAU staff, would be responsible for coordinating the at-risk programs from kindergarten through grade twelve. At-risk coordinator duties would include identifying and monitoring, communicating with teachers and parents, contacting community resource agencies, scheduling intervention and follow-up meetings, and overseeing at-risk student information. This position will also co-chair the school district’s Dropout Task Force.

Assistant Superintendent Dr. Phyllis Schlichter told the board that

at-risk students who are not part of the special education program often “fall through the cracks.” She explained that each may start the school year with an adequate performance, but, as the year proceeds, that performance tails off, resulting in a less-than-adequate result, which means that such a student is then poorly prepared for the next year. Schlichter also said that such students often are not followed from one school to another with the same thoroughness as a special education student would be.

School Board Chairman Laura Bisson said that the Dropout Task Force identifi ed the need for a position to coordinate such efforts, with the goal of ensuring that each student received needed help. “This is one of the new positions that we put in our budget which passed (in March 2014),” Bisson advised the board.

Schlichter said she would be looking for a candidate with a minimum of fi ve years’ experience working with at-risk students and someone who had a master’s degree or equivalent and a New Hampshire certifi cation in teaching or human services fi eld. She stressed, however, that this person would not be teaching.

According to Schlichter, the coordinator would collaborate with subject area staff to support identifi ed at-risk students. “I want this position to attend meetings, such as intervention meetings, parent meetings, year-end transition, Student Success Team, etc. for the purpose of gathering and disseminating information. This will be critical for adequate follow through.” Communication among the coordinator, parents and staff would be a critical component, and the coordinator would also help identify and secure community

A great member of the Greatest Generationby Laurie Jasper

In his book “The Greatest Generation,” Tom Brokaw told the stories of men and women who lived during the Great Depression, who answered the call to defend the United States and our Allies during World War II, and, for those who returned home, who continued to sacrifi ce and build a better life for their families. As Tom Brokaw wrote, “They stayed true to their values of personal responsibility, duty, honor, and faith.”

Gerald Q. “Jerry” Nash was a great member of the Greatest Generation.

A prominent member of the Hudson area community, Jerry Nash died peacefully at the Community Hospice House in Merrimack on Friday, July 25, 2014. Jerry was born in Nashua on October 6, 1923, the fi fth of six children of Ralph Waldo Emerson Nash and Lillian Rachel (Class) Nash. He attended Nashua High School, but went to live with his sister, Marie, in Michigan and graduated from Detroit North High School in 1943. After graduation, he enlisted in the Army on September 2, 1943. All fi ve Nash sons served the United States in World War II. The youngest, Jerry’s brother Roger, was killed in action in 1945.

Jerry Nash trained at Camp Hale in Colorado as a member of the 10th Mountain Division. This elite organization was started on the urging of Charles Minot Dole, who was then president of the National Ski Patrol. Jerry Nash was an avid

outdoorsman and grew up skiing and hiking in New Hampshire, skills which certainly helped him during the intense years of training in Colorado’s high altitude.

Books have been written, movies have been made and much can be found on the internet regarding the famous 10th Mountain Division, yet it is still diffi cult to comprehend the harsh conditions the men faced in combat. They began their assault against the Germans in the North Apennine Mountains of Italy in January 1945 and on February 18, the 10th Mountain Division captured Riva Ridge and then Mount Belvedere, to the shock of the German soldiers. In April 1945, the 10th Mountain Division, along with other units, captured the Po River Valley, which was crucial to the Allied victory, and Germany surrendered on May 2, 1945. Over 992 United States Ski Troopers lost their lives and 4,000 were wounded, which was the highest casualty rate of any U.S. Mediterranean Division (www.visitleadvilleco.com).

Upon returning home from World War II, Jerry graduated from Boston University with a bachelor’s degree in business and then went to work for his father, who owned Nashua Paper Box Company. His father had served as chairman of the Nashua Community Chest and served as treasurer of Goodwill Industries. His mother was president of Goodwill Industries for over 25

years. After his father’s death in 1955, Jerry and his brother Ralph purchased Nashua Paper Box Company from their mother.

Jerry married Lucille LaFontaine on May 26, 1950, and together they raised six children on their Trigate Farm property in Hudson, where he lived for 62 years. In the 1950s, 1960s and beyond, he served on many non-profi t and for-profi t boards, carrying on the example set by his parents to give back to the community. Jerry was president of the Fresh Air Camp, a position his father had also held, on the Selective Service Board, president of the Arts and Science Center, a member of the American Cancer Society Board of Directors, and active in the Nashua Chamber of Commerce, among other affi liations. He was also a member of the Nashua Rotary Club for 52 years.

By chance, he met Sam Tamposi at a card game in Boston, Massachusetts, which began one of the most successful real estate development partnerships in New Hampshire. He sold his portion of Nashua Paper Box Company to his brother to concentrate on real estate.

Jerry Nash and Sam Tamposi shaped development in southern New Hampshire and greatly contributed to New Hampshire’s economic growth. Their business philosophy was “build the buildings and they will come,” long before

‘Show of Dreams’ Puts the Spotlight on Rare British Cars‘Show of Dreams’ Puts the Spotlight on Rare British Carsby AJ Dickinson

James Bond would have felt right at home. The New Hampshire Chapter of British Motor Cars of New England held their annual “Show of Dreams” this past Saturday at the Hills House fi eld on Route 102 across from Alvirne. The show, which featured hundreds of unique and rare British automobiles, was the culmination of a year’s worth of preparation and featured many fun activities such as the 20 mph crash simulator, BBQ, and of course British cars. The weather was bright and sunny as hundreds of people from all across New England could be seen enjoying the show.

Since its establishment in 1991 the British Car Club of New Hampshire has not only been hosting car shows throughout the region but also donating to the High Hopes Foundation of New Hampshire, a charitable foundation aiding to seriously ill children and contributing to New Hampshire food banks.

Hudson Summer Program Numbers Go up Again

Scott Wesinger, 8, gets ready to catch as Nathan Lowe, 7, prepares to bat.

by Tom Tollefson As the sizzling summer temperatures have risen so have the

numbers of children at the Hudson Recreation Department’s summer program. Over the last few years, the program has seen an increase in both the registration numbers and daily attendance. This year, there are 450 children registered in total with an average attendance of 225.

This is an increase of 90 registrations and 55 in daily attendance over the past few summers. The following numbers show the exact increase in recent years.

Year Registered Children Average Daily Attendance2014 450 2252013 400 200

2012 370 1852011 360 170Hudson Recreation Director Dave Yates credits several

factors for the increased success and numbers of the program such as the increased presence of the recreation department on Facebook, 25 additional registrations from out-of-towners (the program started allowing out-of-towners to register their children last year), and the staff.

“The staff is doing a great job supervising the children and making it a fun summer for the kids,” Yates said.

Yates also credits second-year summer director Frank Girginis for taking charge of the program and ensuring the staff stays on track.

Both Yates and Girginis have worked together to shape their vision for the program and put it into action.

“Dave has been a mentor of mine and someone I looked up to for 17 years,” Girginis said. “He’s taught me a lot and I believe we share the same vision of what we want the Hudson Recreation Summer Program to be in the future. This is a great program that the town offers and it shows in our numbers that the program is growing and needed for the children of our town.”

The vision for the program has been to above all provide safety and fun for the children in a way that adapts to the

changing times and needs of the children and their parents. Some of those changes over the last 12 years have been strict check-in and check-out lists to keep track of every child at the program, offering before and after care (additional times for supervision both before and after the program starts 8 to 9 a.m. and 4 to 5 p.m.), and open hours during lunch time (Until 2002, the program was closed from 12 to 1 p.m. for lunch).

It’s too early for the recreation department to assume specifi c changes that will take place next year. Yates and Girginis have stated they will continue following their vision and objectives to provide supervised fun for children in new and inventive ways each year as they mold the program to fi t the changing needs of the community.

Girginis has also brought back many of the former traditions of the summer program as a part of his vision. These include freeze pops for the children, classic logos on the staff shirts, staff sports tournaments, and visits from the fi re trucks on hot days to hose down the children.

“I incorporated some of the things that I learned as a young staff (member) which is a little old school summer rec (recreation) and combined it with the new rec. With a lot of the staff being former kids and growing up in the program it was an easy transition,” Girginis explained.

Remember Hudson when ...

School Enrollment Figures Show Decline

by Lynne OberHudson School District Business Administrator Karen Burnell

told the Hudson School Board that a total of 3,680 students were enrolled for fall as of July 14. The Hudson School District used to have nearly 4,500 students but is seeing the enrollment decline being reported across New Hampshire.

Enrollment at Alvirne High School has declined signifi cantly since the years when a mandatory summer program was held. As of July 14, only 1,321 high school students are enrolled with the ninth grade class being the smallest at 300. Tenth grade is the largest with 365 currently enrolled. There are 338 juniors and only 318 seniors currently enrolled.

Hudson Memorial School enrollment has also declined and currently has 895 students enrolled for the fall. The sixth grade has the fewest students at 267 with seventh grade at 304 and eighth grade at 324 enrolled students.

Kindergarten enrollment stands at 139 students, but entering students frequently enroll later in the summer. Grades 1 through 5 have a total enrollment of 1,325 students with grades three and fi ve showing the largest numbers with 279 each. First grade has 231 enrolled students. At the current time there are 262 enrolled

second graders, 122 of whom will go to Hills Garrison and 140 to Nottingham West. Grade four has 274 enrolled students with 103 expected to go to Hills Garrison and 171 to Nottingham West.

With fewer enrollments, the district should be able to consolidate busing needs, which will save the district money as those big yellow buses are known gas guzzlers.

As families move in and out of district, enrollment will continue to fl uctuate, but the majority of the students are registered for the fall.

Arborists Find Surprise in Tree Hollow

by Laurie JasperWhile trimming large branches from a 150-year-old maple tree

on Old Derry Road recently, Atomic Tree Service of Hudson found more than just some rot. The arborists discovered a group of baby raccoons nestled in one of the tree’s hollows. Did you know that a group of raccoons is called a nursery or a gaze?

Since their philosophy is not to disturb wildlife, Atomic Tree Service professionals worked around the nursery, and soon noticed they were under the watchful eye of mama raccoon. This photo was taken after Atomic Tree Service completed their work. Poor mama raccoon looks exhausted after her attentive observation of the cubs. The raccoon family has since relocated.

Enjoy a Musical Smorgasbord

at Library’s Outdoor Concert

submitted by Vicki Varick, Library DirectorEnjoy a carefree, musical evening at Jeff Warner’s concert, “Banjos,

Bones & Ballads,” on Wednesday, August 6, from 6:30 to 8 p.m., on the Aaron Cutler Memorial Library lawn. In conjunction with the concert, the public is also invited to tour the Litchfi eld Historical Society from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m.

Warner’s traditional songs, rich in local history and a sense of place, present the latest news from the distant past. Community songs, banjo tunes, 18th-century New England hymns, spoon-playing and sailor songs highlight his amusing and informative all-ages program.

Warner has performed widely, from large festivals in the UK, to clubs, festivals and schools across America. He plays the concertina, banjo, guitar and several “pocket” instruments, including bones and spoons. “He inhabits a song in a way which few singers can do” (Royal Oak Folk Club, Lewes, UK).

This concert, co-sponsored by the Litchfi eld Historical Society, is free to the public. Bring blankets or lawn chairs. In the event of bad weather, the concert will be held in the Campbell High School Auditorium.

For more information, contact Alex Robinson at 424-4044 or e-mail acml_librarian@comcast.net.

submitted by Hudson Police Department

The Hudson Police Department will receive new marked cruisers in the near future. They will be sporting a completely different color scheme and are a different make and model. The new cruisers are the 2015 all-wheel-drive Ford Police Utility Interceptors.

For years, the Hudson Police have been driving front-wheel-drive Chevrolet Impalas. These vehicles served the department well, and with an aggressive snow tire, they were great in the snow. General Motors is discontinuing the production of the Impala as a police package vehicle. The department had to search for another police package vehicle and wanted something that would be dependable in the snow.

The department consulted with area departments that are using these vehicles and received nothing but praise for their performance, durability, handling, and internal space. Three Ford Interceptors were approved for purchase.

Hudson has followed the national trends in marked cruiser appearance. While Chief Gendron was here, the national trend went from two-tone blue to white with various color schemes.

Black-and-white units started to come back in 2010. Hudson kept the cars white but added black markings. The new marked units will be black with white doors. The police department plans on phasing in the new design as the current fl eet is removed through attrition. Therefore, the white-and-black, as well as the black-and-white vehicles, will be seen for a few more years. Pictured is the new design that residents and business owners can expect to see keeping Hudson safe.

Note of Appreciation to Lucille Boucher

Th ank you to Lucille Boucher for her dedication to the Hudson Seniors. Th is is a note of appreciation for the tireless eff orts of Lucille Boucher; she was a driving force in the realization of the Hudson Seniors dream of a Senior Center here in town. Without her determination and tenacity, it is possible that we still would not have such a beautiful building. One could not begin to count the volunteer hours that she dedicated to this organization: by working at fundraisers, organizing outings, writing the monthly newsletter (which she hand delivered to many establishments in town), standing faithfully at the poles in all kinds of weather to advocate for votes of support for the town to allow the building to be built, and surely many activities behind the scenes to see that the Hudson Seniors could be sure of a permanent place to gather. We can think of no other person that was more dedicated to seeing this project become an actuality. Th ank you Lucille for all that you have done.

Bravo to all Market Basket Employees who ‘Stand Up for What’s Right’

It is truly an inspiring sight to see the Market Basket employees “Stand Up for What’s Right” in their protest against the Board of Directors’ fi ring of the company president. Th is is a classic example of power people, like these Board of Directors members, putting their thumbs down on anybody they so choose; but that’s how powerful people get their kicks. I almost wish I worked there to be part of it.

In this example the Market Basket employees have given us a perfect textbook lesson and example in activism, that I only hope they make use of in their roles as citizens against the state and feral governments, who also be reminded on a regular basis that people will speak out and “Stand Up for What’s Right” and in an example of the Market Basket employees when they were threatened with being fi red for doing just that. In our country, in our

society, too many of its citizens have either forgotten how to or don’t know about important protesting out on the streets is to “being governed” when they disagree with how they are being governed.

A quote from Oscar Wilde in “Th e Soul of a Man under Socialism” - Agitators are a set of interfering meddling people, who come down to some contended class of the community, to sow the seeds of discontent among them. Th at is the reason why agitators are so absolutely necessary.”

Th e Market Basket employees might not actually get their fi red president back but they have surely sent an earth-shaking message to the Market Basket Board of Directors to consider for the future.

And I wish there would be as much activism from coast to coast against our state and federal [all defi nitions apply] governments, mostly the federal government because of how damage it does to the entire country; just like now along the border with Mexico.

More on Climate SurveysIn his letter to the HLN, Jordan Ulery is correct to point out the error

in the statement “97% of scientists say climate change is real ... ” Th e precise statement is “97% of climate scientists agree that human activity is a signifi cant contributing factor in changing mean global temperatures” (my italics on climate). Th e authors’ summary is at http://tigger.uic.edu/~pdoran/012009_Doran_fi nal.pdf. Th e emphasis of the survey is that the more people know about climate science, the more likely they are to agree with the statement. If you have a heart condition you would not seriously consider the opinion of your eye, ear, bone, foot, or skin doctor. You would be interested in the opinion of heart specialists.

It is also correct to criticize climate change advocates who overstate the importance of that statement. Th e statement’s use of “signifi cant” is imprecise. Th e 97 percent simply agree that humans cause some change, somehow. It does make clear though that at most, 3 percent would claim that man has not changed the climate at all.

It is another study, by the American Meteorological Society (AMS), at http://journals.ametsoc.org/doi/pdf/10.1175/BAMS-D-13-00091.1, that was discussed in the HLN. It is more precise. An accurate look at the table shows that 98 percent of the most published climate scientists agree that “yes” the globe is warming. Eighty-eight percent agree that the warming is half or more caused by man and 90 percent at least partially caused by man. Of the more general respondents, 89 percent agree that “yes” the globe is warming, 62 percent that man causes half or more, and 87 percent that man causes at least some of the warming.

Th ere are 10 such studies from the 2000s summarized in Wikipedia. I start with Wikipedia because it is moderated to be uncontroversial. Searches for climate change surveys, attribution, and controversy provide plenty of information. After that, I go to http://www.skepticalscience.com/, which specifi cally argues against common myths.

Concerning temperatures, some people quibble over whether a month in the USA in the 1930s was the hottest ever or not. But for yearly averages, in the lower 48, 2012 was a full degree F. higher than any year in the 1930s. Data is at http:/www.ncdc.noaa.gov/cag/time-series/us.

But for global climate, the global temperature is what counts. Globally,

in every one of the last 27 years the globe was warmer than any year of the 1930s and 1940s. Global data is on the same site. Th e site is interactive, a plot and table appear after a few clicks.

A plot of global temperature, compared to 1951, with data from that site is:

A plot of solar brightness is shown below, with data from http://lasp.colorado.edu/lisird/tsi/historical_tsi.html. After 1978 it is from actual satellite data. After 1947 data can be based on 10.7 cm radio data and sunspot counts. Before then, it is estimated from sunspot and isotopes in ice cores.

Most scientists attribute the temperature rise up to 1940 mostly to the Sun, as it got brighter but CO2 was only somewhat above normal. Th e cooling to 1970 is possibly due to pollution, ocean currents, and the Sun. After 1980 the temperature rises while the Sun grows less bright. Th at is one reason scientists blame the global temperature rise after 1980 mainly on CO2.

Representative Frank Byron

Announces CandidacyTo the residents of Litchfi eld,

I am seeking your support in the Republican State primary for state representative, Hillsborough District 20. With years of public service to Litchfi eld coupled with extensive business experience, I believe I am well-qualifi ed as your state representative.

As a Litchfi eld resident for 29 years, I have served the town for over a decade as an elected or appointed offi cial and have worked for the past two years as your state representative.

I was one of only a few representatives to have established a 100 percent voting and attendance record in the House. Rather than avoid diffi cult decisions, I cast votes on all bills presented to the legislature and did not “take a walk” when a vote was called. I was asked to serve as committee clerk and was also assigned as chairman for several bill subcommittees. One subcommittee that I chaired was to further develop legislation in response to the Exeter Hospital’s hepatitis C incident. The bill now awaits a decision by the governor and is being considered for implementation on a national level. At the request of, and in support of both the school district and town, I worked to infl uence, amend or change legislation that would have had a negative impact on our community. I was responsive to Litchfi eld residents’ requests by responding to their email and phone calls.

In the next House session, the legislature will be faced with very diffi cult decisions concerning the state’s spending, budget, Medicaid expansion, rebuilding of the “rainy day fund” and containing government growth. I will continue to work hard as your state representative supporting the needs of the community and the state.

I respectfully request your support in the Litchfi eld District 20 Republican primary on September 9.

Big Energy Troubles Aheadby Joseph D’Aleo, CCM

Last week the governors of the six New England states met in an emergency session at Bretton Woods to discuss what to do about the pending crisis.

What crisis? The increasingly likely failure of the electric grid leaving many or all of us in the dark and cold next winter, skyrocketing electricity and fuel costs and supply shortages for natural gas and heating oil. See http://spectator.org/articles/60007/get-ready-new-england-power-shortage to see why we should be worried … very worried.

This crisis is because of the enactment of energy policies based on failed science. In a hell-bent campaign to rid itself of any form of dirty, messy “non-renewable” energy, New England has been closing down coal and oil plants for the last decade. Cleaner natural gas and hydropower (the only reliable and cheap renewable) are at our doorsteps, but there are forces blocking their entry into the region. New England doesn’t have the pipelines to bring in the gas. Nor is anyone going to be allowed to build them, either. We are only a short distance from eastern Pennsylvania, the nation’s third largest overall energy producer. Yet a proposal by Sempra Energy of Houston to expand its existing pipeline from Stony Point, New York, has already met fi erce resistance from people who want nothing more to do with fossil fuels or pipelines in their communities, and construction is highly unlikely.

Last winter, when record low temperatures hit, there just wasn’t enough gas to go around. Prices skyrocketed from $4 to an unbelievable $79 per mBTU (one thousand British Thermal Units per hour) electricity prices spiked to ten times their normal level. Just to put things in perspective, during the fi rst four months of last winter, New England spent as much on electricity as in all of 2012. Average electricity rates in New England are already more than 40 percent higher than the national average and may soon be 150 percent higher.

Despite the shortages, pressure from green groups is forcing the shutting down of the Yankee nuclear plant in Vermont that provided 75 percent of Vermont’s and 4 percent of New England’s electricity. Last winter, we imported energy from New York’s Indian Point nuclear plant, but Governor Cuomo and his fellow democrats are trying to close that too.

So the only “clean energy” left in New England is hydroelectricity - generated in Canada. The Canadians are indeed eager to sell to Americans. But that means building transmission lines down from the north and everyone is opposed to that as well. Northeast Utilities, which services much of New England, has been trying to build a Northern Pass transmission corridor since 2009, but environmental groups insist the lines be buried underground. Meanwhile, environmentalists have become so ambitious and well funded that they have bought up land and property rights in

northern New Hampshire just to block its path. Plans to bury just eight miles of the 187-mile route have ballooned costs from $200 million to $1.4 billion, and the project is years from completion - if ever.

Meanwhile, the EPA is shutting down coal-fi red electricity generation across the country (at least two coal plants in our region) by enforcing air quality standards that are unnecessarily stringent (small particulates, their so-called ‘carbon pollution’ is down 50 percent since 1999 and well under all existing standards) and impossible to meet.

These actions are increasing the likelihood of electrical grid failure. Philip Moeller, commissioner of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, “... the experience of this past winter indicates that the power grid is now already at the limit.”

The EPA also has banned the sale and more and more communities the use of many wood stoves - http://www.cfact.org/2014/01/29/epa-ban-on-wood-stoves-is-freezing-out-rural-america/ that so many people use to heat their home or supplement their other sources to keep cost down.

The same pattern that made last winter cold and this summer cool will cause another very cold winter in 2014-2015 with the coldest shifted south and east. That would increase the chances of serious energy problems here in the northeast given all the issues above.

Rising electricity and fuel costs will force companies to move out of state or shut down or, at the very least, slash staff. As we have said, rising energy costs will raise the cost of foods and all goods and services, hurting those on fi xed income as well as the poor and middle class.

All of this is unnecessary. Agenda-driven politicians are still pushing this based on failed science and the new anti-humanitarian environmentalism. See this powerful talk by Dr. Patrick Moore, the nation’s fi rst ecologist and co founder of Greenpeace on the radicalization of the environmental movement https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NtcNjoDe5Pg.

You are not told winters in the U.S. (including all nine climate regions) and in northern Europe have cooled for 20 years. Temperatures have not warmed for 20 years even in the tropics, where the CO2 models projected the steepest rises.

The demonized CO2 has proven to be hugely benefi cial gas that has helped increase crop yields and plant growth, drought resistance and diminished water use. Ask any greenhouse owner; they pump CO2 into their greenhouses. All the bad things the models suggested would happen have not. The greenhouse theory has failed miserably and the frantic alarms proven unwarranted.

Quote by Chris Folland of UK Meteorological Offi ce: “The data don’t matter. We’re not basing our recommendations (for reductions in carbon dioxide emissions) upon the data. We’re basing them upon the climate models.”

Quote by Paul Watson, a founder of Greenpeace: “It doesn’t matter what is true, it only matters what people believe is true.”

Next story: Why claims of the warmest ever months and years for the U.S. and globe are false. And how the sun controls our climate.

Joe D’Aleo, a Hudson resident for the last 25 years, co-founded The Weather Channel and served as its fi rst director of meteorology back in 1982. With more than 40 years of experience in professional meteorology, he has served as chief meteorologist for Weatherbell Analytics since 2011. As a fellow of the American Meteorologist Society, he has testifi ed about weather and climate before federal and state legislatures and taken the science lead on legal briefs to the D.C. circuit and U.S. Supreme courts.

resources to provide services and help for at-risk students.Every Hudson school currently has an At Risk Program. One of the needed pieces is someone to

gather and analyze data on at-risk students in order to determine referrals of students to the program, determine appropriate interventions and keep track of their progress, Schlichter noted. This position will also oversee at-risk student fi les in an effort to keep track of interventions and the progress of each student as well as prepare written materials such as reports, correspondence, memos to convey information to appropriate stakeholders,” explained Schlichter.

Before the vote, Jeanne Saunders, director of Special Education, said she felt this position was needed as soon as possible and hoped the board would authorize hiring the position.

After a brief discussion, the board agreed to waive their policy of a second review at a second meeting and voted unanimously to proceed and to allow the search to begin immediately. “We’d like to have this person on board when school starts,” explained Bisson.

the 1989 movie, Field of Dreams, made a similar quote popular. They purchased land suitable for big businesses to expand upon and then built quality structures to entice the businesses to the area.

“Jerry was a close personal friend and business associate of my Dad, Sam Tamposi, Sr., and he really enjoyed the challenge and art of many real estate transactions,” said Sam Tamposi, Jr. “Jerry was a man of impeccable honor and integrity. He was an astute businessman, and his word was his bond. He consummated most business deals the old-fashioned way, with a handshake! He was also a selfl ess teacher and I was fortunate enough to learn from him,” recalled Sam Tamposi, Jr., whose father passed away in 1995.

Jerry Nash was key to attracting large corporations such as Digital Equipment, Anheuser Busch, Fidelity Investments and Raytheon to the area, as well as to developing eight industrial parks throughout New Hampshire. Jerry was the founder and owner of WNDS TV Channel 50 in Derry and one of the original people involved in the incorporation of the 1590 Broadcasting Corporation and radio station WSMN in Nashua, where he served as president for many years. Jerry was also the founder and former owner of Greenbriar Terrace Nursing Home. Hudson resident Anne Shaver was Jerry Nash’s secretary from 1972 until her retirement in 1989.

“He was a man of all ages,” said Anne. “He believed in a fi rmness of purpose. His accomplishments were many; he had great discipline and was a man of great determination. He was a very bright man, with great strength of mind, very much into details, and a great teacher,” Anne said. Anne recalled how proud he was of his family, and said, “I enjoyed working for him, he had a lovely marriage, a lovely family and it was one of the greatest experiences of my working life.”

The Nash and Tamposi partnership also developed the Villages of Citrus Hills in Hernando, Florida, a community approximately 75 miles north of Tampa. Once again, they brought jobs and economic growth to an area in need. Citrus Hills has grown in stages and different areas include an equestrian area, four golf courses, a 400-seat theater, several restaurants and a world class health spa. In the 1980s, Sam Tamposi was a part owner of the Boston Red Sox and became friends with one of the greatest baseball players of all time - Ted Williams. Besides baseball, Ted’s other sport of choice was fi shing, which he took very seriously. He was impressed with Citrus Hills and built two homes there, and even agreed to be the celebrity spokesperson for the community. Some may recall the Citrus Hills television commercials featuring Ted Williams. Jerry Nash was a co-founder of the Ted Williams Museum in

Florida. Jerry Nash always had a strong

work ethic, and continued to go to his offi ce every day until May of this year, when he suffered a fall at his home. “He was a kind and generous man,” recalled Sandra Martinson, his secretary who worked for him for almost 27 years. “He was very intelligent and very good at making decisions.”

Jerry also found time to relax and enjoy life. As one might guess, he was an avid skier and also enjoyed playing tennis. Jerry was a stained glass artist and was very interested in genealogy. According to Sandra, he loved researching his family history. “He had one more thing he needed to do, he told me, and that was

to fi nish his family history,” shared Sandra. “He pretty much fi nished what he wanted to, as well as his wife Lucille’s family history, and his grandson Jeff was helping him put the books together.

“He was very proud of his family. He loved to travel and he was able to travel to different places to research his ancestry. He published the History of Lebanon, Maine; he had family who came from Lebanon. In fact, he helped to restore headstones in the cemetery there.”

Sandra also said that Jerry traveled to Germany and saw the place where his mother was born, and he also visited The Family History Library of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Salt Lake City, Utah. The Denver, Colorado Public Library archives include photocopies of correspondence from Jerry to his parents in 1945 as well as a 2003 oral history video Jerry recorded during an Italian reunion tour, as part of their 10th Mountain Division Resource Center.

Jerry’s interest in history and genealogy led him to undertake a huge project.

In 1997, The Vital Records of Hudson, New Hampshire, 1734-1985 by Gerald Q Nash, Sandra Martinson and Roland Marchand was published by Heritage Books, listing births, marriages and deaths for

that time period in one large volume. The Vital Birth Records of Nashua, New Hampshire from 1887-1935 by Gerald Q. Nash was also published. In 1994, he assisted the American-Canadian Genealogical Society in Manchester in a fundraising campaign to purchase the former Blessed Sacrament Elementary School.

Jerry loved to travel all over the world. He made many trips to Europe with the 10th Mountain Division on their Italian reunion tours, often accompanied by family and friends. He served as chairman on the National Association of the 10th Mountain Division for both the 1975 and 1980 national reunions.

For his book, Nashua Area Men and Women in World War II, Ron Dube interviewed Jerry Nash, who shared that he and other members of the 10th Mountain Division formed the Federation of Mountain Soldiers during a reunion in 1980 at Lake Placid, New York, and some German and Italian soldiers attended. Ron Dube’s book also includes a humorous anecdote

about one of Jerry’s return trips to Italy. While visiting a village, he was invited into a house and spotted an American soldier’s canteen cup, still with the soldier’s name on it. He asked the homeowner for the cup, which he received. Jerry brought it home, located the owner of the cup, and returned it to him along with a bill for misplacing government property.

“The last 10th Mountain Division trip to Italy was in 2012, and my father did go on that trip,” said his daughter, Priscilla Clegg. “There were 13 original 10th Mountain Division members on that trip, and nine who were currently serving in the 10th Mountain Division,” Priscilla

said. Also on that trip were nearly 150 descendants of 10th Mountain Division Soldiers of World War II. Jerry Nash was a member of the National Association of the 10th Mountain Division. There is also a 10th Mountain

Division Descendants Association. The original 10th Mountain Division was deactivated in 1945 but reactivated in 1985 during Desert Storm and has been active ever since.

Jerry and Lucille Nash’s children all work for the Nash Group, and the grandchildren are following into the business as well. Jerry Nash taught them the value of hard work, discipline and integrity. The Nash family has always been civic minded, and has been extremely generous to many local and national

charitable causes throughout the years. Local causes that they have long supported include Hudson Old Home Days events, the Hudson Historical Society and the yearly Santa visits to Library Park.

“All of us would agree that our father passed away the way he lived. He made the decision to enter the Community Hospice House on Thursday, and he died the next day. When he decided to do something, he did it, and that’s what he did,” said his children.

“He certainly left an indelible imprint in New Hampshire, bringing many companies and jobs to New Hampshire. He left a lasting legacy for his family, friends and associates,” said Sam Tamposi, Jr.

Members of his family include his wife of 64 years, Lucille P. (LaFontaine) Nash; six children, Quentin Peter Nash, Debra Anne Nash and her husband Matthew Bosowski, Mark Alan Nash and his wife Paula Nash, Priscilla Lu Clegg and her husband Robert Clegg, Jr., Rebecca Jean Mitchell and her husband Scott Mitchell, and the late Jeffrey Lloyd Nash; fi ve grandchildren, Jessica Lee Clegg, Jeffrey Lloyd Clegg, Benjamin Matthew Bosowski, Jacob Jeffrey Mitchell and Ethan Lloyd Mitchell; and one great-grandchild, Troy Stewart Mitchell. Jerry was also predeceased by his brothers, Ralph, Lawrence, Roger and Jason Nash; and his sister Marie Atkins.

A Celebration of his life will be held on Sunday, August 3, at the Radisson on Tara Boulevard in Nashua, from 2 to 6 p.m. The family asks that you join them as they celebrate the man that Jerry Nash was.

Donations may be made to the Rotary Club of Nashua, P.O.

Thumbs Up? Thumbs Down?Thumbs Up? Thumbs Down?

“Thumbs down. Thumbs way down for whoever egged my car on Flying Rock Road, bad karma to you is on its way!”

“Thumbs up. Way to go Market Basket employees. You are the definition of strong American works. Fight for what’s right. I will boycott our store till this is over.”

“Thumbs up so very high to my brother-in-law, Mark, for his constant effort to fight for his employees in Londonderry and for Artie T.! I am one lucky lady to be his sister-in-law! Not only love, but he’s got our respect for his tenacity and dedication! Market Basket has a great man in him!”

“Thumbs down to attacking us on 9/11, thumbs up to George Bush for showing the world you don’t attack the USA. Thumbs down to Obamacare, all the good healthcare left the state, and now we all have to pay quadruple for no insurance or horrible insurance. Death to seniors, Obamacare won’t keep you around. Thumbs down to allowing drug cartels and criminals, not children into our country illegally.”

“Thumbs down to the writer that is so filled with anti-party sentiment, they don’t care that their own party are nothing but fund raising anarchists and willing to stand by them and watch this country be destroyed. Our military is gone, our jobs, our technology, our education have all been taken away by greedy, power hungry, narcissists that think they know better. Move away from the USA ... you are not one of us.”

“Thumbs down to Obama’s newly created dream Democrat, a lazy underachiever who envies the successful, and wants to suck off the fruits of their labor. Thumbs Up to those of Character who believe in being self sufficient and responsible for their own wellbeing. The difference between a Democrat and a Republican.”

“Thumbs up to the happy Roosters. I love the sound of their ‘cock-a-doodling’, that’s why I live in small town Hudson, New Hampshire - and not in a big city.”

“Thumbs down to the town and the No Fun Police of the condos, the real parties responsible for the Droid disappearing from Lowell Road. Residents bombarded the town with complaints about the cars beeping at the Droid. So the town caved, and made the Verizon store move their Droid to the sidewalk in front of their door. This young man loved his job and had a special kind of exuberance of which we can only hope to embrace in our own lives. But now he has lost his job, thanks to the town and to the whiners of the condos. To my fellow Hudson

residents, I issue this challenge: Keep Beeping! Nothing too obnoxious, just a couple of friendly toots to remind the condo people that we loved that Droid!”

“Thumbs down to our teachers leaving! There was nothing stating they needed to stay for 3 years until the contract ends. It just stated there was 2 salary increases and increases for supplies. Workers will always leave positions especially young workers. Next time read the budget on the school/town website. Oh, home value assessments will be increased in 2015. Also, in the budget. Stay informed, read the budget/warrant articles, and don’t believe everything you hear. Consider the source.”

“Thumbs down to Hudson~Litchfield News for not covering a major news piece for Hudson and all of New Hampshire. Market Basket has a store right here in Hudson, along with many other cities and towns in New Hampshire. The latest part of this story has been going on for a week. That’s plenty of time to put together an article or two. But there’s no mention of it in the July 25 issue. Arthur S. must have paid off HLN to not cover

the story.”

“Thumbs down to the Litchfield Aaron Cutler Memorial Library! Your hours are terrible! Not open on Saturdays during the summer & often closed in the afternoons. It’s very difficult for someone to be involved in community happenings at the library when the hours are so inconvenient.”

“Thumbs up to the citizen who is paying attention to the mass exodus of teaching staff in town, it is not just a

money issue it is also a building issue. In case it is not known the bulk of it is within the confines of AHS. Our school board along with former Vice Chairman Lavoie are busy circling the wagons to protect their choice of Principal (aka friend) at the expense of highly qualified teachers. They say they have no knowledge why it is happening, if you believe that, there is some prime land for sale cheap over at Benson Park. In the meantime we are scraping the bottom of barrel, if you care at all make sure you Google your educators thoroughly. If you are unsure check with Vice Chair Langlais, I believe she actually runs the school district.”

“Thumbs down to the person requesting the dancing droid. Do you have any idea how hot those suits are? There is a real person inside there, you know?”

“Thumbs up. Big thumbs up to our neighbors in Provincial Heights. After hearing the news of my husband’s illness, our wonderful, caring neighbors have been mowing our lawn on a weekly basis. With everyone’s busy lives, they not only mow our lawn, they have provided meals, caring phone calls and cards. Our hearts are overwhelmed with gratitude. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Please know we are grateful for everything you do. God bless you all!” Love the McCartys

“Thumbs up/Thumbs down. We’re just hoping that Market Basket can get back to what they do best because my wife just got back from Hannafords and for the same amount of groceries the bill was about $40 extra. Everything is higher at Hannaford’s and Shaw’s. There’s nothing like Market Basket. Hopefully everyone will get behind this effort to get Arthur T. back on board, and we can get back to paying lower prices. Everyone, support Market Basket.”

“Thumbs down. Will the man on Derry Lane clean up his yard? You are a disgrace to your neighbors who keep

their yards looking great. Shame on you for not caring.”

“Thumbs down. The greatest heist ever was constructed by Bush and Cheney. They got away with it right in the open. How do you use our military right in front of the world to get richer? It’s what Americans can expect from Republicans so having a Republican congress is probably not a very good idea.”

“Thumbs up to the Coaches and Players from Hudson Post 48 Senior Legion Baseball. You had an amazing season. You exceeded everyone’s expectations except your own. You are fine group of young men and represented your towns and

the American Legion with distinction. Thank you to Coaches Szuksta, Bowen and Bail for all of the time you gave this summer. I know it was greatly appreciated.”

“Thumbs down does not begin to express my feelings when it comes to the very loud, obnoxious ATV use of Benson Park trails. That area is meant as a recreation area and hiking trails! ATVs have used the area in the past, and, while I have no objections to that in general, there are a few dirt bike and ATV riders that have no mufflers and can be heard miles away, disturbing not only the area neighbors, but also disrupting the trails use by others. If anyone can identify the perpetrators, please notify Hudson Police, so that we all can enjoy the solitude that Benson Park is meant to provide. To those that use the trails responsibly, thank you!”

“Thumbs up/Thumbs down. For those motorists who feel that the intersection of Burns Hill/Wason and Musquash roads is a 4-way stop: don’t! It isn’t. Those traveling east/west on Wason, kindly proceed and those of us waiting at the stop signs will take our turn. For refresher tips on rules of the road, go to NH.DMV.org (your chiropractor, soft-tissue injury specialists and the rest of us will thank you!)”

submitted by Elaine Cutler, Hudson Litchfield Rotary Club“Pancakes and Palettes” will be held at Alvirne High School on

Saturday and Sunday, August 16 and 17, from 8 to 11:30 a.m. The Rotary Club of Hudson Litchfield is looking forward to serving the community a delicious pancake breakfast and displaying local art created by adults and children alike. A People’s Choice winner will be awarded in each category. The cost of the breakfast is just $5 and children 5 years and younger are free.

The creation of a community painting was so successful last

year, it will be offered again this year. The community painting will be raffled to the public on Sunday morning at 11:30 a.m. This beautifully framed 16 x 20 original piece will be a wonderful addition to any home or office. All participants will be able to add some brush strokes to a pre-sketched drawing by a local artist.

Local artists, young and old, are strongly encouraged to drop off artwork at the Center for Physical Therapy and Exercise at 142 Lowell Rd., Hudson, August 12-14, during business hours. Forms will be available at the Center for Physical Therapy and Exercise to

affix to the artwork.Submissions are limited to two original works per person. Artwork

must be matted or framed ready to be hung. Maximum size is 18 inches by 24 inches.

Join the fun on August 16 and 17 at Alvirne High School. Make a donation, enter a piece of art, socialize with friends and neighbors, and support community projects at Pancakes and Palettes.

submitted by the Office of U.S. Senator Jeanne ShaheenU.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) voted with a majority of

the U.S. Senate July 29 to replenish the Highway Trust Fund to make sure that important infrastructure projects in New Hampshire and around the country are not delayed due to a lapse in funding. Depletion of the fund could have delayed important infrastructure projects in New Hampshire and resulted in the loss of $55 million in federal transportation funds and more than 700 New Hampshire jobs.

“The Highway Trust Fund plays an important role in making sure that New Hampshire can fund transportation infrastructure projects that are critical for jobs, economic development, and public

safety,” Shaheen said. “Replenishing the fund will make sure New Hampshire projects have the resources they need to proceed, and that investments to modernize our infrastructure will help New Hampshire’s economy continue to grow.”

Shaheen made replenishing the Highway Trust Fund a top priority following the announcement that without Congressional action the fund could have been depleted in August. She highlighted the need for congressional action with visits to numerous job sites throughout New Hampshire that would have been negatively impacted if the Highway Trust Fund depleted.

Shaheen has consistently worked to improve New Hampshire’s transportation infrastructure for both public safety and economic

competitiveness. She has introduced legislation, the Strengthen and Fortify Existing Bridges Act of 2014 (SAFE Bridges Act), to reestablish a program to provide funding specifically dedicated to repair and replace aging and deteriorating bridges. Currently, one-third of New Hampshire’s bridges are classified as either structurally deficient or functionally obsolete. She also partnered with members New Hampshire’s and Maine’s congressional delegations to obtain funding for the replacement of the Memorial Bridge in Portsmouth and has fought cuts to the Transportation Investments Generating Economic Return (TIGER) program that encourages economic activity and jobs in New Hampshire through important infrastructure investments.

People are now living longer, healthier lives than ever before. With this increase in longevity, a larger segment of

the population is experiencing physiological changes characteristic of the aging process. These changes not only affect general health, but oral health as well, since the two are so closely related. The nature of the tooth decay problem changes as people grow older. Here’s why: A decrease in salivary flow is part of the aging process. Saliva functions to lubricate and cleanse the mouth, as well as neutralize the acids produced by bacteria in plaque. With this buffering action against acids decreased, tooth decay becomes more prevalent. Generally, decay occurs around existing fillings

(recurrent decay), since many adults grew up without the benefits of fluoride and are likely to have many fillings. Decay may also be found on the root surface. Root caries, as it is called, is likely to occur in an older population who have receding gingival (gum) tissue as a result of periodontal (gum) disease. The root surface is softer than enamel and, thus, more prone to decay. Once established the decay progresses faster in the softer root structure. Coupled with a decrease in salivary flow, root caries is the most common site for decay in older adults. Unfortunately, too many older adults ignore their oral health. Some mistakenly feel that tooth loss and periodontal disease is a natural part of the aging process. Regular, professional dental care should continue for the rest of your life. This, combined with your own effort, can keep the teeth and soft tissues in your mouth clean, healthy, and feeling great.

track race ever held at Canaan Fair Speedway on September 14, 2013 while turning the fastest lap of the race. Joey picked up where he left off at Lee USA Speedway on July 25 by winning the Seacoast 100 by 0.624 seconds. Both races were run under

the Granite State Pro Stock Series banner. Joey also ran the fastest lap of the race at Lee in his No. 97 Distance Chassis powered by a Ford McGunegill Engine Performance racing engine setup by his father, Joe Pole, Sr., who is also the team owner and crew chief.

by Laurie JasperRodgers Memorial Library hosted a special “Brrr … I’m

Frozen” event in the Children’s Room on Friday, July 25. In addition to showing the movie in the Community Room, there were many drop-in activities, including Frozen-themed games, coloring activities and even snowman building.

The highlight was a visit from “Elsa!” Jana El-Sayed transformed into Princess Elsa for a visit, to the delight of many children. She posed for pictures, handed out stickers and glow bracelets and sang several songs from everyone’s latest favorite Disney movie. The crowd even enjoyed a sing-a-long.

Jana recently won the title of Miss Weirs Beach and

will now go on to compete in the Miss New Hampshire pageant. She will be entering her senior year at Alvirne High School in the fall, and plans to study biology with the goal to become a dermatologist, she told Betsey Martel, head of Children’s Services at Rodgers Memorial Library. Jana’s platform for the pageant was “Inspiring Hope for Hospitalized Children,” a cause very personal to her, and she visits children in hospitals to inspire them.

Library staff and patrons alike had a wonderful Frozen Day in July.

Betsey Martel said they will plan more events with guest appearances in the fall. Stop into the Children’s Room for a calendar of events or check www.rodgerslibrary.org for more information.

submitted by the Offi ce of U.S. Senator Jeanne ShaheenU.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) welcomed the

advance of legislation that will boost New Hampshire’s tourism industry and economy, the Travel Promotion, Enhancement, and Modernization Act, of which she is an original cosponsor, after the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation passed the bill with bipartisan support. The bill would encourage travel to the United States by reauthorizing and improving Brand USA, a public-private partnership established to attract foreign tourists to the United States. Companion legislation passed in the House of Representatives 347-57 earlier this week.

“Tourism supports more than 60,000 New Hampshire jobs and is one of New Hampshire’s most important industries. Anything we can do to boost the industry is good for our economy as a whole,” said Shaheen. “I’ve been a strong supporter of Brand USA and its mission from the very beginning, and I hope the full

Senate will clear its reauthorization quickly.” Brand USA was established in 2010 with Shaheen’s

support and has helped strengthen New Hampshire’s tourism industry ever since. The tourism industry is New Hampshire’s second largest and direct spending by New Hampshire visitors was $4.48 billion in 2012, producing more than $151 million in revenue for the state through meals and rooms taxes.

Special Guest Makes Chilling Appearance at Rodgers Memorial Library

Transformed into Princess Elsa, Jana thrills the children at Rodgers Memorial Library.

Griffi th Comes away with a Podium Finish at Lee Speedwaysubmitted by Eric R. LaFleche

Consistency is the key to competing for championships and that’s the motto for Hudson native, Derek Griffi th. The young driver of the No. 12 MOM’s of Manchester/LCM Racing Toyota Camry is right in the middle of his fi rst championship points’ battle with the Granite State Pro Stock Series.

Griffi th, who is sitting in fourth place, is just 44 points from the top spot and knew he needed a good run on July 25 at Lee Speedway to maintain his points’ position.

There were 29 Pro-Stocks on hand and qualifying was intense; the fi rst order of business for Derek was to make the show through his heat race. Derek came away fi fth in his heat race and did qualify without the need to use a consolation race.

Rolling off 13th on the grid of 24 cars, Griffi th made sure to stay out of trouble as the laps clicked off. The series, which has had some eventful races of late, was due for some long, green fl ag

runs, and that’s exactly what happened at Lee. Derek was able to stay with the leaders and was in a heated battle for third

with Maine driver No. 4 Brad Babb, when on lap 96, Babb slid high out of turn 4 and made heavy contact with the front stretch wall. Luckily, Griffi th was able to narrowly avoid becoming a casualty of Babb’s wreck.

Starting third on the restart, with only a handful of laps to go, gave

Griffi th one last shot to try and get around eventual winner No. 97 Joey Polewarczyk, Jr. and Series point leader No. 37 Larry Gelinas. Griffi th looked for room on the restart, but both of the veterans were battling each other for the win, and Derek fi gured it was good to fi nish on the podium instead of trying to get something that wasn’t there.

After the race, Granite State Pro Stock Director of Media Shawn Sicard asked Derek about the race, Griffi th replied, “This is huge to us in the point standings. The car was a rocket ship. Louie and the crew put me in a great car. There were a lot of green fl ag laps, with some clean, hard racing. We are trying for a championship, so tonight was huge.”

You can see Derek in action next on the Granite State Pro Stock Series at Monadnock Speedway on Saturday, August 9th as the series makes their second trip in 2014 to the Winchester, NH bullring. Griffi th fi nished in the seventh spot when the series visited Monadnock last May.

Hudson 10U All Stars Finish up Successful Summersubmitted by Charlie Huggins

While the tournament-to-tournament results didn’t exactly meet expectations going into the summer, the Hudson 10U All Stars enjoyed a successful run. With an overall 10-7-1 record, the team improved on last year’s effort and is already looking to next year and improving once again. The fi nal tournament of the summer was held at Lions Field in Hudson and sponsored by Hudson Youth Baseball. The locals really wanted to fi nish strong and take home this title. With impressive wins over Salem, Windham and Lowell Callery, the team was feeling good about their chances, but two losses to heated rival Londonderry proved to be their undoing.

“The team really came together as the summer went on and was starting to fi re on all cylinders,” said Head Coach Steve Beals. Hudson averaged nine runs a game while allowing an average of four for the summer. In the fi nal tournament the team was led by Brady Simard and Tommy Tierney who each collected nine hits. Simard added 11 RBIs followed by Josh MacDonald’s seven. Due to three players being gone for various vacations, Liz Huggins, yes, my daughter, was pressed into action and collected three hits and three RBIs. Every player had at least a hit with several collecting multiple hits. Mitchell Wong, Evan Beals, Jake Dufour, MacDonald and Quintin Perillo collected fi ve apiece. Richie Thibeault and Joey Jussaume had four each while John Crawford added three. Rounding out the hits were Billy Cloutier and Anthony Santos with two each.

“These guys were defi nitely starting to click,” said traveling secretary Tom Tierney. “If we had another tournament or two, a title was inevitable.” As the summer went on the team coaches were looking for players to establish themselves at certain positions. In center, Joey Jussaume did just that and was making Willie Mays-like catches as his confi dence grew. On the mound Tommy Tierney, Quintin Perillo, Brady Simard, Evan Beals and

Josh MacDonald were as solid as it comes. Beals and MacDonald were a force up the middle with Jake Dufour a vacuum at fi rst. Richie Thibeault, John Crawford and Anthony Santos patrolled the corner outfi eld spots, and all made a number of great plays. And let’s not forget behind the plate. It’s no secret that you need to have a lot of guts and desire to suit up and grab a mask to be a catcher. The catching duties were split all summer because of the heat between Beals, MacDonald, Simard and Mitchell Wong.

I think nobody enjoyed their time behind the plate no matter how hot it was more than Wong. He was a wall when he was back there and should be a force behind the dish for as long as he continues to play. “Catching was a strong point of the team,” said team caterer Tony Santos. He was proven correct as the foursome recorded nine caught stealing. I realize these boys are only 10 years old, but Hudson is in very good hands baseball wise for many years to come.

If you would please indulge me one last paragraph I wanted to end this my way. It is no secret that I am the loudest and some would say most obnoxious coach this town has to offer. Well, they say obnoxious I say enthusiastic! Baseball is the greatest sport on earth and provides more lifelong memories than anything else possible. When I was asked to coach by two guys I consider great friends, Steve Beals and Scott MacDonald, I jumped at the chance. After thinking about it though, I wasn’t quite sure how it would play out due to the fact that I did not have a child on the team. When Steve asked my daughter Liz to be batgirl, the long days were easier to handle and when she was able to play the last tournament, I think I was more nervous than she was.

To the parents, thank you! The commitment you made to get the kids to every game and practice never went unappreciated. I want to thank all the volunteers, coaches and 11U All Stars. The work you did at the fi eld and in the snack shack for the fi nal tournament was amazing.

To the boys ... you rock! Hopefully the friendships you made this summer carry thru to middle school, high school and beyond. You are all great players but more importantly incredible people. You did the league, town and your families proud. I hope to see you around town and look forward to maybe coaching you in the future. If you are ever in a position that you are not sure the correct answer just ask yourselves ... what would Scooby Do?
