submitted by Kelly ChampagneNicole Jacques touched the

lives of many people duringher short 14 years. Theformer Hudson LitchfieldBears cheerleaderwas remembered byher family on August

26 during a memorialservice at HudsonMemorial Middle Schoolwhere she attended

eighth grade last year.Certainly dedicated to

the Bears, Nicole wasconsidered a cheerleader

off the field as well. Herpositive and enthusiastic attitude

was evident to all who knew her.Nicole was 14 when she passed

away the morning of May 29 after adifficult battle with a rare form of liver cancer.

As music played, a member from each of the teams wasasked to pour sand, colored blue and white, to symbolize the

Bears family uniting together in remembrance of Nicole.Nicole touched so many in her short time with us, said Kelly Champagne,

president of the Hudson Litchfield Bears. I so often hear people sharing memoriesabout Nicole and the one thing that stands out to me is how people talk abouther smile and her gentle personality. She was the girl that lit up a room when she

walked in.One of Nicoles good friends, Kirsten Rourke, was a fellow Bears cheerleader and

currently a student demonstrator for the Division 12 team. During the memorial,Kirsten read a poem and shared her thoughts about Nicole:

We thought of you with love today, but that is nothing new.We thought about you yesterday, and days before that too.We think of you in silence; we often speak your name.Now all we have is memories, and your picture in a frame, with which we well

never part.Angels, you in their keeping; we have you in our hearts.Next, Kirsten told those in attendance that the

Hudson Litchfield Bears will start an academicscholarship this season in Nicoles memory. TheBears will contribute $250 toward a $500 bondeach year to fund a scholarship in her name.This annual scholarship will be awardedby the state to any child in the NH YouthFootball & Spirit Conference organization,not only Hudson or Litchfield.

Two symbols have been added to theBears uniforms: a number 27 and an NJembroidered on the cheer skirts, on thefootball players helmets and on the boardmembers/coaches shirts. The number 27is in remembrance of Zachary Tompkins aplayer the Bears lost on March 8, 2010. TheNJ is in memory of Nicole Jacques.

Both were young, athletic, and vibrantmembers of our families before they were takentoo soon, Kirsten said. Please continue to rememberthese two angels each and every time you see these symbols as they will always be our friends always be HudsonLitchfield Bears always be our family.

Alvirne High School Fire:

by Tom TollefsonTragedies stick with you. Even years after the

damage has been cleaned up, the memories remain.Anyone who was there for the Alvirne fire stillremembers it vividly even as its 40th anniversary

approaches. The glare of the flames, stench of smokehanging heavy in the air, and the reconstruction arememories that will be forever locked in the minds ofresidents who were in Hudson at the time. Its not onlya story about the largest school fire in New Hampshirehistory, its a tale of triumph as a community cametogether to make the best of a tough situation and seethe reconstruction completed in only a year. Thesemoments and details both bad and good are best toldthrough the words of those who experienced themfirsthand.

Mostly everyone you ask about the fire willdescribe it as horrifying and overwhelming. Noone ever expected to see the towns largest schoolbuilding exploding in flames and searing smoke, butit happened. In the early morning hours of Sunday,September 8, 1974, just a few days into the new schoolyear, Hudson Selectman Stanley Alukonis happened tobe driving by when he saw the flames and made theemergency call.

The emergency call went to Nashua and they senta fire truck to Nashua High and found nothing. Thenthey saw the sky was lit up by Hudson. They notifiedHudson to check their high school, said Hudsonfirefighter Lieutenant Harry Chesnulevich, who becameone of the first responders at the scene.

Chesnulevich was one of the first firefighters toreceive the call through Kelly Answering Service,which helped the fire department receive emergencycalls at the time. He ran down the street from hishome on Library Street to the Leonard Smith Fire

Station and jumped into a fire truck and was on hisway to Alvirne. Only minutes after the emergency callcame in, his truck was the first one to arrive on thescene. Dozens of other fire trucks were close behindand tore into the parking lot of the high school with all

sirens blaring.When we got to around where True Value was we

saw the glow in the sky. Upon pulling up in front ofthe school we saw the cupola (dome structure) hadcollapsed onto the first floor, he said about first seeingthe flames. The school was pretty much engulfed.

Another historic moment Chesnulevich and manyothers recall is Fire Chief Frank Nutting, Jr.s speedyride. Nutting was on vacation in Wells, Maine atthe time, but still made it to the fire scene in only 45minutes from the time he received the call.

Many residents heard the sirens and noise andgathered to see what was happening.

I was impressed that morning when I got up thereat about 5 a.m. in the morning and there were townspeople already up there, said Peter Dolloff, Hudsonsuperintendent at that time. It was stunning to lookup and see that building on fire. You would think itwould be somewhat fireproof with a brick building, butit didnt have fire stops and the fire just raced throughthe attic from one end to the other.

Not long after arriving, word went out to thefirefighters to stay out of the building.

We had thoughts of going into the building andstopping the spread of the fire to the north end, butupon finding a crack on the roof edge, we were toldno one was going into the building because it couldcollapse, Chesnulevich said. I looked and saidwe arent going to save anything here so well justsurround and drown. I had my crew more or lessprotect the office area.

by Len LathropThe ALS Ice Bucket Challenge went to

new heights last week when the HudsonFire Department, the ProfessionalFirefighters Association (Local 3154) andthe Firefighters Relief Association gottogether after being challenged by theHudson Police Department and theirrespective brotherhoods a week earlier.

A Port-a-Tank was set up in front ofthe Lenny Smith Fire Station and filled

with approximately 2,500 gallons; thenbuckets of ice were added. Chief Buxtonled the way and addressed the audiencestating that the Relief Association and theProfessional Firefighter Association eachwere donating $101 to the ALS cause. Inaddition, the HFD challenged Litchfield,Londonderry and Derry firefighters tomeet the challenge.

As he returned to the Port-a-Tank, ChiefBuxton, Union President Dave Cormier

and Relief Association PresidentDave Morin all dove in the ice-filled pond. Simultaneously,the deck gun from Engine Onesprayed the ice water from thepond onto the group members andfamily who had gathered to acceptthe challenge and supported ALS.

Is it our governmentsfault? If you have problemswith government, look in themirror - did you vote in the lastelections? Politicians need tobe held accountable and the only way to do that is to vote. Tellthe incumbents that you wont return them to office and/or let thenewcomers know that you dont agree with what they stand for.

Tuesday September 9, is the primary election where the ballotsfor the general elections are established. Yes, you cant vote foreveryone or should I say vote against anyone, if youre not affiliatedwith one of the major parties, the Democrat or Republican. You haveto choose a ballot, which you can do at the polls. And rememberthat if you want to be an undeclared voter you have to be undeclaredafter the election, or you become a party member, not a bad thingbecause at least your voting.

Yes, you can look in the mirror and say I voted. I am letting

government know what I want. Can one vote change anything inWashington? There is no way of knowing, but, in this primary, one ofthe races you are deciding is for state representation. Both Hudsonand Pelham are in the same district; on the Republican ticket thereare 15 candidates for 11 seats, on the Democratic ballot there areonly eight for the 11 seats, so you could write in your own familyand friends. The biggest race across the state is for the U.S. Senateseat as there are 10 names for one seat on the GOP ballet and theincumbent Jeanne Shaheen on the Democratic ballot.

Now, if youre now totally confused, go to SOS.NH.GOV andfind the Sample Ballot and then choose your town for the ballotthat you will be handed on primary day. Every ballot in everytown is different as New Hampshire senators and representativeshave different districts; only the candidates for governor and U.S.senator are the same as even the U.S. Congress representative canbe different as there are two NH districts for that seat. And dont askme to explain why the candidates are listed in different alphabeticalorder in each town, for that explanation visit RSA 656:5-a. And youstill wont really know.

Enough about voting. I get to push you to the polls three times insome even numbered years like this year 2014. Did you miss the

local election last March (have you seen what the selectmen andschool board have done this year) and only once for the town ballotin odd number years like 2015. Think ahead to 2016; thats whenyou get to elect a new president.

Remember I asked if youre happy in the title of this editorial.Dont forget that the local government is always looking for people toserve on local boards and committees. Someone once said, Dontcomplain if you are not involved. Stand up and do what you can.

EditorialEditorial

Are You Tired, Broken,

Unhappy and justScared of the Future?

A Pig in a PokeTis was a late middle age con trick, whereby someone would advertise

they were selling a piglet in a closed bag, but in reality a cat or dog. Tis

is also an idiom for voting for someone without a history. What are youreally going to get? Tere are people running in this primary that have norecord or history, no way that you can really know where the individualstands on the issues other than their words. Has the candidate ever held anyother political office, such as selectman, budget committee, school board,etc. Does the candidate even have any other record, for example a businessrecord, that can be looked it? For state rep has the candidate ever had anylocal government or community involvement? So one needs to ask, are webuying a pig in a poke? Another idiom comes to mind, talk is cheap. Fromthe governors race on down to your local state rep, who has the verifiablerecord? Who has just the words? Who has the better or longer record? wopeople running for Executive Council, one with an outstanding record,and one with just words. In the important state rep races, check out thecandidates, who has a record, who has served the community, who has neverdone anything, but want you to believe their words. Again, talk is cheap.Weve seen this in the past, people running for office, saying one thing, andthen doing the opposite. History is more important than words. Questionsyou should ask yourself before voting.

Taking Action with MemorialSoftball Tournament

Cancer affects so many people in all of our lives. It leaves quite the wakeof emotions, fear, sadness, helplessness, and sometimes, if we are lucky,triumph. I lost a fellow team mate to Acute Myeloid Leukemia on August 8,2012. Many people in this community rallied around her (she was a 1999Alvirne Graduate) and her son. We all fought for her, tried to keep hopeinthefight. Prayed that she would be able to fight like agirland win. Tat wasnot to be. wo years later, I still wonder what more could have been done.

Tis year, we decided to take action. On Saturday, September 13, I amhosting the first annual softball tournament in Amiees name. All registrationfees are being donated to LLS in A miees memory (September 12 was herbirthday). So, what does this have to do with you? Come watch! We willhave Be the Match there for those interested in becoming a bone marrowdonor, a 50/50 raffle, and lots and lots of softball!

Interested in playing? E-mail Jessie at: [email protected] for moreinformation (co-ed teams $150 entry fee brackets close Monday 9/8). Alsolooking for volunteer umpires to help out! Please come and support ourfight to keep hopealive.

Welcome Students to Civicsand Social Studies 101

Tis is your first day of one of the most important classes you will takethis year, Civics and Social Studies 101. I have unexpectedly and suddenlyhad to change todays introduction class because of the recent developmentsin the Market Basket settlement of the dispute between the powerful ownersgroup family members and the very popular Artie . You are likely sittingthere wondering why is Mr. G. including the Market Basket protests and thevery positive outcome, as an exa mple for a Civics and Social Studies class; solet me save you a lot of time wracking your brains on what Im trying to getat.

Te entire Market Basket saga is a perfect example of, the Market Basketprotests being a model for all citizens of the power of protesting to our feral(all definitions apply) government to make the changes tha t the citizenswant and demand; Changes We Can Believe In. And if we dont get those

changes, every one of them, then we get everyone responsible for failingto carry out the demands of the people, theyll be turned out of office; aswe citizens move ahead to have a government really Of, By, and For TePeople.

So remember that Civics and Social Studies 101 is really Market Basket101.

Be Careful with your Republican ChoiceAlmost daily, there are news stories that find fault with the current

administration or Congress and with the approaching primaries, we gethammered with stories about the more well known candidates. But ifyou want to make a change in the administration, your vote must count.Sometimes it may seem that a particular candidate is going to win all thevotes and be elected.

Tere is a problem coming up in the primaries. Perhaps the personthat you want to vote for, will not receive enough votes; because the list ofcandidates is very long. Tere are currently eleven names for the position ofUS Senate. Tere is only one candidate listed for the Democratic candidate

which probably will practically guarantee nearly 100% of all Democraticvotes cast will be for that one candidate. Tere are ten names on theRepublican list and even if there are more total votes cast for the Republicancandidates; your choice may not get enough votes to win

Please be careful as you vote Republican, that the one candidate whostands out above all the others; is the person that you vote for above allothers. Weigh carefully; even if the candidate does not answer all of yourwishes, but is the one candidate that most closely matches your preferences,and is the one most likely to win enough votes to challenge the Democraticcandidate.

Pants on Fire: NH Voters Deserve HonestyUnfortunately, its become all too common for Washington politicians to

be dishonest and deceitful. But its particularly troubling when candidatessuch as Gary Lambert, who aspire to be in Washington, use lies and negativeattacks to take down another member of their own party.

Last week, Gary Lambert attacked his GOP primary opponent, MarilindaGarcia, through mailers and V ads. Lamberts claims that Garcia supports

new taxes were heavily criticized by a recent Union Leader editorial for theirlack of evidence, and were given a Pants on Fire rating by Politifact NewHampshire for their absurdity. In reality, Marilinda is a proponent of lowertaxes across the board.

Lamberts V ads also attacked Garcia on the issue of immigration.However, these criticisms were baseless as well, because Garcia has alwaysbeen an opponent of amnesty for illegal immigrants. She is known as anadvocate for stronger border security, continued enforcement of existingimmigration laws, and for making the immigration process more efficient forthose coming here legally.

Its clear that Lambert is grasping at straws in a shameful attempt to spreadlies and fool the voters of his own party with misinformation. Granite-Staters deserve honesty and principle in their leadership.

FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH OF HUDSON

236 Central St., Hudson, NH 882-6116

www.firstbaptisthudson.comSee us on Comcast Cable ch. 20 Sundays at 9AM and 6PM

On the First Sunday of each month we serve communion andhave a time of fellowship and refreshments after the Worship Service.

Sunday Worship Services-10:00 am to 11:00 am

No Sunday School during the Summer.

Many interesting statements are made by townofficials during meetings and other gatherings.While most dont warrant enough for a full storyfor our readers, some are great ideas, forwardthinking and others make you say what? Or justshake your head. Our newspaper staff memberswhen out and about are often asked questions, asif we should know more than the average citizen.Sometimes we do, but many times we have tomake phone calls to find out.

Take a moment to ponder these thought-provoking happenings around Hudson andLitchfield:

A Sideways ThumbsIt was 8:40 of the selectmens meeting Tuesday

night. During selectmens remarks, ChairmanCoutu started with his usual rant about the weeklypaper and the Thumbs column. He alluded thatit was all back and forth about politics, and he feltlike he should have worn his beige suit. Then heproceeded to read a wonderful letter from the firechief of Barrington, NH Rick Walker who laudedthe action of HFD firefighter Dennis Haerinckfor being a first responder to an accident,providing treatment to the victim and assistingthe Barrington Fire Department upon their arrival.

And if he represented the men of the HFDwhat a wonderful department Hudson has. Thequestion is what did this have to do with theHudson~Litchfield News?

Safety First?At the last meeting of the Hudson School

Board, when bus routes where being discussed,the business manager mentioned that busescould not travel on unaccepted roadsmentioning Barretts Hill and the new SentorDevelopment off of Old Derry Road. Withthe first day of school Tuesday, we ponder whythere are four bus stops in the Fox Hollowcondos. Seems much safer than major stops onbusy Lowell Road, but are rules just made to bebroken?

Well-come EvaluationsSelectmen renewed efforts to add to

Hudsons supply of water.

With school district permission, wells in theAlvirne Tree Farm and near the athletic field willbe evaluated. In addition, a well on the Nashproperty that had been looked at before will beevaluated.

Much Ado about Dress CodesClothing seemed to be an agenda item at

Tuesdays selectmens meeting. First SelectmanCoutu commented about his beige suit and thenmade multiple references to Selectman Nadeauslack of a suit. Nadeau had raced to the meetingfrom his shop and had on his work clothes. Onecomment was made that he would have to visitAttorney Jasper about his wardrobe. This was areference to Selectman Jaspers ability to alwayswear a jacket and tie and how he set the dresscode for the meeting many years ago.

Funny ha-haEven Selectman Nancy Burner showed a sense

of humor, commenting that Joan Rivers could haveused Hudson Fire for her ride from the clinic tothe hospital; she would be very happy if the HFDdelivered her there.

More Dress Code BluesIn a phone conversation Wednesday morning,

Selectman Nadeau reported that a residentwatching the selectmans meeting on TV hadalerted the Bass Pro Shop about his attire and,according to Nadeau, wanted to know where theselectman shopped and if he was a rewardscustomer.

by Laurie JasperEvery life tells a story. Susan Woodbury Misek

considered her life a great adventure. Sue, asshe was called, was remembered at a memorialservice at the First Baptist Church on August 30.

In her practical style, Sue contributed to theservice, selecting her favorite hymns and readingsprior to her passing. Presiding at the celebrationof Sues life was Reverend Moa Imchen, thepresent pastor of the First Baptist Church. Hewas joined by Reverend Scott Secrest, formerinterim pastor, and long-time pastor Reverend

James Harrington, who served the church for 17years before retiring in 2012. Throughout theservice, Sues deep faith and devotion to Godwas evident. One of her favorite quotes from theBook of Philippians seemed most appropriate: Ihave learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewithto be content.

Sue and her husband, Victor, moved toHudson in 1957. As her son, Will, recalled,Her commitments were to family, church andcommuni ty. Sue was a long-time Boy Scoutleader and received recognition for her manyyears of service. She also volunteered as a ballot

clerk at elections and at Benson Park and wasa longtime member of the Hudson HistoricalSociety.

Both of us were collectors of hobbies; thatwas our hobby, shared Will, to laughter. Shetaught jewelry making and design, was devotedto her vegetable and flower gardens, and lovedto be outdoors. Many will recall that Sue wasseldom without a camera in her hand. Anotherone of her interests was genealogy and familyhistory. She was the chairman of the Hudson

Historical Societys GenealogyCommittee and loved to researchtown subjects as well as herown family. Pastor Jim Harrington said, This isa celebration of Sues life and a celebration ofher faith. She wanted this to be a joyful occasionbecause she knew where she was going. Suedescribed her life as a great and grand adventure,and her passing as a continuation of that greatadventure.

Sue died on August 3, 2014, at the age of 82, atthe Community Hospice House, and is survivedby Victor, her husband of 59 years, children,Martha Frick, William Misek and Carl Misek, andmany relatives and friends. She was predeceasedby her son, Stevan Misek.

Where does Scott Brown Stand on Immigration?

Republican senatorial candidate Scott Brown isattacking Senator Shaheen and President Obama forbeing soft and supporting amnesty for illegals. Howcan an administration that has already deported moreundocumented immigrants than the George W. Bushadministration did in its entire eight years be consideredsoft?

What amnesty are you talking about, Mr. Brown?Are you referring to Bill S. 744? Tis is the BorderSecurity, Economic Opportunity, and ImmigrationModernization Act, supported by Senator KellyAyotte and Senator Jeanne Shaheen. It is a proposalfor reforming the U.S. immigration system, written bya bipartisan group of Senators including Senators JeffFlake (R-AZ), Marco Rubio (R-FL), Charles Schumer(D-NY), John McCain (R-AZ), Richard Durbin (D-IL),Lindsey Graham (R-SC), Robert Menendez (D-NJ) andMichael Bennet (D-CO).

Tis bill addresses all aspects of the immigrationprocess from border and enforcement issues to legalimmigration reforms. It makes changes to the familyand employment-based visa categories for immigrants,provides critical due-process protections, increases theavailability of non immigrant workers to supplementall sectors of the workforce, and provides legal status

to 11 million undocumented immigrants within theUnited States. Tis bill alsoincreases resources needed tosecure the border and modernizeand streamline our current legalimmigration system.

Mr. Brown, recently you saidthat had they (Shaheen andObama) not provided thoseincentives, almost a magnet,we wouldnt be in this situationtoday. Why did you, Mr. Brown,as Massachusetts State Senator,vote for a budget amendmentthat permitted undocumentedimmigrants to be eligible for in-state tuition rates and fees at theUniversity of Massachusetts andin community colleges of thecommonwealth?

Mr. Brown why are you

opposing comprehensiveimmigration reform? It is acommonsense solution thatexpands visas for many talentedforeign graduates from U.Suniversities in the sciences andtechnology.What do you have againstan immigration reform thatincreases over time the numberof temporary high-skilled visasbased on demand and expandsopportunities for entrepreneursand investors to come to the US?

Why you are emphasizingimmigration as the key campaign

issue in New Hampshire? Is it because you care aboutpeople or because you see this as a way to score politicalpoints? Why havent you been talking about any of theother issues impacting citizens of the Granite State, likehow to expand opportunities for the small business ofNew Hampshire?

Alejandro Urrutia, Hudson

NH has been Ignored

by Senator ShaheenNH used to have many health insurance providers

that promoted competition. A fter Senator Shaheenstated on the floor of the Senate everyone will be ableto keep their health plan if you like it. When the rateswere changed based on a persons health vs. Obamacare,many of the insurers left the state leaving very littlecompetition.

She should have known better based on her being aNH legislator.

She has voted with Obama 96 percent of the time.Based on her actions, she is now afraid to face the NH

voters. She has not had a town meeting the whole year.You have a better chance of seeing Shaheen, Carol SheaPorter and Annie Kuster on a milk carton before theyface the NH voters. None have had town meetings.

During the August recess most members of congressuse that time for town meetings. We had to settle forJohn McCain from Arizona to hold a town meeting inNH.

PS: I got a kick out of Annie Kuster when someoneasked her a question on Benghazi. She said we are nothere to discuss Benghazi, we are here to discuss theMiddle East. Duh, doesnt she know that Benghazi ispart of the Middle East?

Bob Wilkie, Hudson

Foreign Policy of ProcrastinationWhen President Obama was questioned about

countering the Islamic terrorists (ISIS) in Syria, hisresponse was We dont have a strategy yet, and thisexemplifies the status of our foreign policy. Te ObamaAdministrations has deferred our foreign policy decisionsto other countries who defer back to the U.S. It is apolicy of procrastination based on hopes and dreams theworld problems will fade away or be solved by foreigngood guys in shining armor.

Te results of our diplomatic pullback, our militarycuts, and decreased readiness have allowed the Russians

to take the Crimea, North Korea to threaten SouthKorea, China to flex its military might in the WesternPacific, Iran to develop nuclear weapons, and Islamicterrorists to establish a territory in Iraq and Syria forlaunching attacks in the Middle East and the world.

We cannot rely on other countries to take the lead ina dangerous world. As an example, since 2008 Europeangovernments have relinquished any leadership role bypaying $165 million in ransom to Islamic terrorists forthe release of European citizens. o deter and defeataggression in the world, the U.S. has to provide globalleadership in our foreign policy strategies and decisions.

Whats the Top Learning Style in America?Hands-on Wins Hands Down, Survey Says

(BPT) - Children learn by doing, and every child has a uniquelearning style all his or her own, child development experts tell us.The same can be said of adults if a recent survey is any indication.A majority of Americans say hands-on training is the hands-downwinner when they want to learn something new in an educationalenvironment, according a Harris Interactive poll conducted onbehalf of Everest College.

Surprising in the Internet age when most Americans spend hoursa day online, 52 percent of the 1,011 adults polled said active par-ticipation through hands-on training was the best learning method,while just 19 percent counted using the Internet as a preferredlearning tool. Watching a demonstration by an instructor came in a

distant second at 28 percent, and just 15 percent valued watchingvideos.

When it comes to what learning methods work best, everyoneis different, says John Swartz, regional director of career servicesat Everest College. Clearly, most Americans feel hands-on train-ing works best for them. For our education system to succeed inpreparing Americans for the working world, its critical for us tounderstand what learning styles work best for all students, whethertheyre pre-K kids or older Americans returning to school for ad-vanced training.

Theres no arguing the value of higher education in professionallife. In 2012, workers with a professional degree earned $1,083more per week than those with only a high school education, ac-cording to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Unemployment rates forthose with only a high school diploma were more than four timesthat of workers with professional degrees.

With college costs continuing to increase and competitionremaining high for available jobs, both high school graduatesand working professionals seeking to further their careers throughadvanced degrees recognize the importance of finding the righteducational program for their learning style.

Students who practice what theyre learning in a hands-on envi-

ronment canoften retainmuch moreinforma-tion whencomparedwith sittingpassivelyin a lectureroom, soits not asurprise that

hands-ontraining is the overwhelming favorite, Swartz says.

Other variables play a role in determining an adults preferredlearning style, the survey indicates. While both sexes preferredhands-on training overall, men were significantly more likely thanwomen to say hands-on training worked best for them. Womenwere significantly more likely to say visual demonstrations workedbest for them.

Top earners also liked the Internet; 30 percent of those withhousehold incomes topping $100,000 said the Internet workedbest for them as a learning tool, while just 18 percent of workersearning less than $35,000 agreed. Twenty-eight percent of Ameri-cans ages 45 to 54 chose reading from a text book as their topmethod.

Its no secret that students in the U.S. are falling in the rank-ings on global achievement tests, so its imperative that we investin early education, retain the top educators, and identify the bestforms of training programs and learning methods to prepare futuregenerations, Swartz says. One of the major benefits of tactilelearning, or hands-on training, is that it develops critical thinkingskills that give students the ability to make on-the-spot decisions ina workplace environment.

Help Your Kids Make the Gradewith Healthy Back-to-School Snacks

(BPT) - School means big adjustments and big demands foreveryone involved: shopping for supplies, shuttling here and there,studying - or overseeing the studying - special projects, and more.Its easy to forget nutrition in all the hustle and bustle.

Make a pact to embrace healthful eating, whether breakfast onthe run, packed lunches or after-school snacks. In other words,plan now to fuel those little bodies with something better than po-tato chips and cookies and to nourish at regular intervals to avoidbig dips in energy and focus.

The first step is to start the day off right. Eating breakfast helps thebrain to function and has been shown to improve performance inschool. In fact, children who eat breakfast score higher on cogni-tive tests than those who dont. With a little forethought, you can

stock your pantry with breakfast staples, and orchestrate a fresh andhealthful breakfast that is also tasty and quick.

One of the easiest options is to simply mix yogurt with granolaand top with California grapes for a balanced and nourishing boost

to the morning. Pump up the goodstuff even more with a YogurtPower Bowl. This breakfast-in-a-bowl combines Greek yogurt,fresh grapes, walnuts, chia seedsand flax seeds with a touch ofcinnamon. The yogurt serves asa great source of protein, thewalnuts, flax and chia seeds offerhealthy omega-3 fatty acids, whilethe fresh grapes offer a fresh flavorboost and contribute beneficialantioxidants and other polyphe-nols that support a healthy heart.

Yogurt Power Bowl with Cali-fornia Grapes Serves 4

Ingredients:

1/2 cup nonfat vanilla Greek yogurt1/4 cup chopped walnuts1 teaspoon chia seeds1 teaspoon flax seeds1/2 teaspoon cinnamon3 cups red, black or green seedless California grapes, halvedDirections:Mix the yogurt, walnuts, chia, flax and cinnamon in a large

bowl. Toss the grapes into the mixture to coat. Serve chilled.Next, keep your childs brain-power on a roll at lunch time by

offering a balanced variety of foods. Grapes from California are aneasy component of packed lunches; they complement sandwiches,salads and soups as well. Plump, juicy clusters of grapes help to

hydrate and refresh, and wont likely be traded off for somethingelse. Grapes are easy to share, so you might just want to packextra.

After school, kids need to refuel and recharge to accomplish theslate of afternoon activities, whether homework, sports, enrichmentclasses or simply a playdate. They arent alone, actually: accordingto a recent study by Technomic, 71 percent of people enjoy a snackin the mid-afternoon, with some 50 percent stating that healthful-ness is important to them in a snack.

Fresh grapes are the quintessential healthy, but oh-so-tasty snack.They are the perfect finger food, easy to eat, convenient and porta-ble. Grapes play well with other foods too, complementing cheese,crackers, nuts, yogurts and granola bars. Grapes from Californiaare available May through January, with a wide selection of grapevarieties available throughout the fall.

Consider these super snack ideas:* Let the kids make their own no-brainer burritos: Spread a

tortilla with whipped cream cheese, a sprinkling of cinnamonsugar, and line the center with grapes. Roll up for a tasty fruit-filledburrito.

* For a savory roll-up, spread cream cheese on a sun-dried-tomato tortilla, and top with sliced turkey. Roll it up andslice to enjoy.

* Smoothies are a great way to add wholesome fruitsand vegetables into your childs diet. Enhance it with aspoonful of nut butter for extra staying power.

* Set out a platter of hummus, pita bread and fruit.Remember that hummus, while traditionally made fromchickpeas, can be made from any type of bean, fromblack beans to white beans to pinto beans, and edama-me (soybeans).

* Top an open-face peanut butter sandwich with ba-nanas and grapes.

* Create a fresh trail mix with nuts, cheese cubes,chocolate chips and fresh grapes instead of raisins.

* Pair almond butter with fruit. Spread directly onapple slices or mix with a little honey for a peanut dipfor colorful grape skewers.

* Frozen grapes are always a cool treat.* Sometimes it is OK to play with your food! Create

some grape

caterpillars bythreading greengrapes ontobamboo skew-ers. To makeeyes on the endgrape, place adot of cake ic-ing on the backof each of twomini chocolatechips and stickthem to thegrape.
