by Kaylee Murphy It was a cold gray morning at 7 a.m. as the First Baptist Church

of Hudson held its annual Sunrise Service at the boat ramp onRobinson Pond. Still, compared to last year’s service, this onewas warmer and without all the snow. The birds were chirping,which was a welcome sign to prove that spring is near.

People showed up to pray and sing hymns in celebration ofEaster. Rev. Moa Imchen led a beautifu l service in which hementioned the Belgian terrorist attacks and, how that even thoughthere has been so much tragedy in the news, Christ is alive.

The church has been a staple for many years in the Hudsoncommunity. Rev. Moa became a pastor at this church in July of2014 after he and his family moved to New Hampshire from SanFrancisco. The church has been offering Easter Sunrise servicesfor many years, and Rev. Moa happily continues the tradition.

and eighty-eight wells inLitcheld will betested; however,at Thursday the24th’s meetingat the LitcheldMiddle School,there seemedto be a lot ofunknowns. Butwhat is knownseems to notbe good, asperuorooctanoicacid, or PFOA,is in wells inboth Litcheldand Merrimack. Also known is that it came fromthe Saint-Gobain Performance Plastics Plant.Also known is that some studies about effects onpeople have associated the chemical with highcholesterol, thyroid disease, ulcerative colitis,testicular cancer, kidney cancer, pregnancy-induced hypertension and even more; but thatthe effects of long-term exposure to PFOA are notfully known.

Peruorooctanoic acid, or PFOA, aperuorochemcial (PFC), is part of a family ofmanmade chemicals that were used for decadesas ingredients to make products that resist heat,

oil, stains, grease, and water, such as non-stickcookware, weather-resistant outdoor clothingand gear, and stain-resistant carpeting. Manychemicals in this group, including PFOA, arecommonly present in the environment and do notbreak down easily.

Dr. Ben Chan, a medical doctor, when speakingabout PFOA, told the audience of over 250people that the half-life is four years. While thesechemicals have been used in manufacturing formany years, little hard data seems to be availableand the fact that EPA has not set any lifetimestandards nds people in the one mile radius ofthe Merrimack manufacturing plant, whose wells

have tested above100 parts per trillion,will be drinkingbottled water fromthe state.

While all theslides that werepresented onThursday nightwere to be on theDES website as ofTuesday afternoon,there were only twowhite paper typesof reports available.The second postindicated that 59results from wellsthat were testedhad been received.

Directly from the DES website,“Test Results: The water wellsamples were collected onMarch 18 through the 21st,within a 1-mile radius fromthe Saint-Gobain facility inMerrimack. The results fromthis round show levels of PFOAranging from no detection to 830 parts per trillion.Of the 59 results received, 17 wells showed PFOAlevels above 100 parts per trillion (ppt) rangingfrom 110 ppt to 830 ppt. In total, 20 water wellshave tested above 100 ppt since the investigation

began. Previous test results from the MerrimackVillage Water District ranged from 17 to 90 partsper trillion.”

accounts, a neartragic event ata high schoolswim meet atthe University ofNew Hampshirehas already hada far-reachingimpact and,hopefully, willoffer untoldeffects intothe future thatcan never bemeasured.

Before youlearn aboutthe invaluablecommunity gift,let’s recount the“perfect storm”that changedone Alvirne HighSchool senior’slife forever.

Alvirne senior Ashley Dumais, a swimmer with the high schoolteam for four years, had attended every state meet for all theyears; her specialty was the freestyle. It was January 24, 2016.Ashley had swum her leg and, as the swimmer in the pool does,she moved to the edge of the pool so the next swimmer coulddive over her to complete the next leg of the race. Before Ashleyclimbed out she was observed going under the water again. Hermother, Bonnie, mentioned that many swimmers, especially thegirls, do that to get the hair out of their face.

But then she went under again and did not pop up. Alvirneparents on the side lines immediately started to yell. The lanetimer from UNH jumped in and pushed Ashley up, but as theywere in the deep end, he could not get her unto the deck. TheAlvirne swimming coach, Sean McLaughlin, reached underAshley’s arms and pulled her to the deck.

Mom Bonnie, with tears in her eyes, talked about the “dreamteam” of parents who began lifesaving efforts. The professionalcredentials of the parents involved included an ICU nurse, ananesthesiologist, a paramedic trainer, another doctor and anUNH student who knew where the AED (Automated ExternalDebrillator) was just down the hall. Bonnie explained that the

staff at Massachusetts General Hospital said thatthe great intervention that Ashley received wasresponsible for her great o utcome.

But let’s nish. She was transported from UNHto Wentworth Douglas Hospital in Dover andshort transferred to MGH by ambulance, wherethey were met in the doorway by 12 treatmentteam specialists, doctors, nurses and otherdirect care professionals who had a treatmentplan ready. Before Bonnie could tell about thetreatment at MGH she stopped and commentedabout this handmade blanket that the nursesplaced on Ashley almost instantly upon heradmittance into the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit.

Using hyper therapy Ashley’s body was cooledto allow her organs to recover over a 36-hourprocess in which she would need to be intubatedbecause of the cold that then caused her to beparalyzed.

Once the process was reversed and Ashleywas extubated, Bonnie told about the visitors thatstarted to arrive: Principal and Mrs. Beals, all herswim coaches and parents of other swimmers.

10,000 Eggs were Picked upin Less than 7 Minutes

by Len LathropThe annual Easter Egg Hunt on Saturday at Benson Park

saw many happy children with baskets and pails full ofplastic eggs that they had collected. The slightly overcastsky or the temperature around 40 degrees did not dampenanyone’s spirits. The recreation staff had prepared 10,000eggs in total for the different age groups; some eggs had aspecial prize note in them.

Te Easter Bunny was happy to see 3-year-old Addison Sawtelle afterthe 0 to 4-year-old group gathered their eggs.

‘I might be dressed for the Easter Bunny and looking for eggs, but picking up stis fun,’ according to Addison Bean. Life is nice when you are 2.

Elyse Goulet didn’t quite know what she had won when she found the orange paper in her egg, but was very excited when Dad told her what it meant.

submitted by Ruth Parker In this week’s photo we travel to the south end of Hudson and

visit the historic marker for the home of Ensign John Snow and therst town meeting for the town of Nottingham, Mass., held May 1,1733. This marker was placed in 1934 by the town Bi-centennialCommittee using funds remaining in their accounts after thecelebration was completed. The committee searched the area fora suitable boulder, and one was found close to the highway onland then owned by Charles Shunaman near 103 Musquash Road,not far from the site of the Snow homestead. The original marker

consisted of a bronze tablet attached to the boulder. Later, aftervandals removed the tablet, the inscription was made directly intothe stone.

On April 4, 1733, some three months after the charter ofNottingham, Mass., was issued, an order was directed to RobertFletcher, a principal inhabitant, giving him the authority toassemble and convene the town for the purpose of choosingtown ofcers to hold until the following March. Fletcher issuesthe call for the meeting to be held May 1, 1733, at 10 a.m. at thehome of Ensign John Snow. At this meeting the inhabitants chosea moderator, clerk, treasurer, ve selectmen, surveyors, fence

viewers (in charge of boundaries and disputes), and hog reeves(warden in charge of wandering swine and appraisal of damagesthey cause). The 1733 tax list contained 55 men. This may seemlike a large population, but we must remember, many residentsof Nottingham lived outside the area, which later becameNottingham West and Hudson. Of these 55, only 18 residedwithin the boundaries of the present-day Hudson.

Ensign John Snow, born about 1667 in Woburn, Mass.,married Sarah Stevens in 1693. They had three children:Elizabeth who died young, Joseph who also resided in

Nottingham, and Mary. Little else is known about Ensign Johnexcept he was elected the rst town treasurer, and a few yearsafter this rst town meeting he passed at the age of 68. He isburied in Ford Cemetery not far from his home.

The cellar where his house stood was pointed out to KimballWebster by Timothy S. Ford many years prior to 1912 and thepublication by Webster of the town history. Photo from theHistorical Society Collection.

The Word Around Town... Letters to our Editor

All About

METhere are tons of resources telling students

how to pick their college, decide on a majorand make their applications stronger. All ofthese tools help, but how do you make going tocollege cheaper?

One way to make college more affordableis to live off campus. I can help you with thatby educating you about the perils of off-campusliving. Seriously, Sometimes picking a collegecan be easier than coordinating your livingarrangements. Remember that you want tosave money by moving off campus, but youdon’t want to be responsible for injuring yourroommate by the end of your rst semestertogether.

If you’re a resident at a college theysometimes don’t allow you to live off campusuntil sophomor e year. However, if you’regoing to school in a large city they might havetrouble housing all of their students so you mayhave to nd an apartment. Any high schoolstudents who are planning to go to college andeventually live off campus with roommatesshould pay attention to this article I’m givingyou real and useful advice. I consider myselfa roommate expert. Parents who are having

their children go off to college this is what your

children are going to be dealing with if theydecide to move off campus, and this is whatyou’ll have to listen to over the next severalyears. So if this pertains to you in any way Isuggest you read it closely.

In college I went through a lot of apartmentsand roommates (always their fault never mine).Some of them were male and some of them

were female. I’ve noticed that some issues wereconsistent in all of my living situations.

When living with another person(s), thereis one thing that can break up any romanticrelationship or friendship, no matter how strong

it is and that’s dishes. Do not underestimatethe power of the dishes. They are everyone’sdirty leftovers that no one wants to claimresponsibility for or clean up after. If you arefortunate enough to have a dishwasher or haveenough money to pay for someone to do thedishes then your living situation might be savedyet.

Here are three commonly used excuses thatcollege men use to get out of doing the d ishes.1. They claim that they don’t know how to doit. It blows my mind that they got into collegeand yet they have no idea how to wash a dish.2. They don’t do a good enough job. Well, youknow what they say, practice makes perfect. 3.They didn’t use the dishes. They may not haveused a pot or a plate to heat or eat their takeoutfood, but that glass that they drank water out ofand the fork, that they used to eat, adds up aftera while and counts as dishes even though it maynot be an actual dish.

If your roommate is refusing to do the dishesthere are some things you can do to gently coaxthem into doing it. 1. Only do the dishes whenthey’re in the shower. If you’re in an old smallapartment, which most of the college kids are,there is a good chance that that shower is goingto turn real cold real quick. 2. Keep all of yourdishes in your room. As soon as you’re doneusing them, wash and dry them. That way eitherthey have no dishes or they’re stuck with just theones they own.

The bathroom situation is typically a messdue to the girls. We just have a ton of stuff. We

have our makeup, our hair products, our skinproducts the list goes on and on. Guys have anall-in-one soap, shaving cream and a razor. Theonly mess they really create in the bathroomoccurs when they don’t wash the sink out afterthey shave. It’s gross. Please clean it up.

I found that separate grocery shopping andnot communal is the easiest. I don’t knowif people can tell, but I’m denitely not acommunist because, although communismlooks great on paper; in reality human naturetends to get in the way. Everybody likes differentthings, some people eat more than others, andit just leads to a whole argument about foodand money. If people want to pitch in for butterand milk that is ok. Not recommended, butprobably won’t lead to an overblown argument.Label all your food and always ask permissionbefore you eat someone else’s food. Also don’task too often because no one likes a mooch.

Toilet paper and paper towels can also be

problematic. It’s such a trivial, but totallynecessary thing. College students hate spendingmoney on it. I one time had a guy tell me thathe doesn’t have to buy toilet paper because hedoesn’t use it. No problem, I just bought toiletpaper, kept it in my room and when he askedme one day where the toilet paper was I saidthat I thought he didn’t use any. Obviously Ididn’t give him any or else he wouldn’t havelearned his lesson fully.

The last and most important thing I can tellyou about roommates is if you’re planningon moving in with a couple - don’t . That is a

terrible decision. They will most likely breakup before the lease is up. Dating someone andliving with someone are two totally differentthings. Living with a person is, in my opinion,the reason why most relationships and marriagesfail. If I ever get married I’m living in the condonext to my husband. I’m not going to live withhim.

When, not if, they break up, it will be veryawkward. Most likely one of them will moveout, which will screw everybody up nanciallybecause now your rent increases, unless you cannd a new roommate real quick mid-semester,which isn’t likely. I f you do nd a roommate itwill be an old creepy loser and your things willslowly start to go missing.

If you have any problems with roo mmates,questions or concerns shoot me an e-mail [email protected], and I will gladlytell you what to do to make your situation better.

ESTATE PLANNING- IT’S YOUR FUTURE

Are our Senators Listening?I drove by the Rockingham Race Track complex Friday and thought

“How sad that our Senators in the upper chamber couldn’t see the positivein passing a single casino bill last ursday. What an ideal spot for a casino.

What much needed revenue it could bring into our State.” And then it occurred to me that even though polls showed that that a

majority of NH residents favor lega lized gaming, our Senators don’t listen.I think that’s because we don’t take the time towrite to our representatives,locally, or on the state or national level. ere’s nothing like the writtencommuniqué to get the attention of our elected offi cials, if enough of us write.

ink of Kelly Ayotte’s pandering to big money and her siding withMitch McConnell, refusing to vote on President Obama’s nominee, JudgeMerrick Garland for the Supreme Court vacancy. It’s the same issue. emajority of citizens polled think the United States Senate should do its joband consider Judge Garland. Senator Ayotte refuses to do her job. Shedoesn’t “hear” us.

e critical message for all of u s, then, regardless of where one comesdown on an issue, is to do our own job, and contact our elected offi cials.If they listen then we have done our part as conscientious citizens. If theydon’t listen, then let’s vote them out of offi ce.

Gail Barringer, Litcheld

Vacancy on Litcheld Budget CommitteeIn our rst meeting since the recent elections, the Litcheld Budget

Committee accepted with deep regret and appreciation for his many years ofservice, the resignation of Bill Spencer. Bill provided invaluable service onthe committee and it will be diffi cult to replace his years of experience andvast knowledge.

e Budget Committee is now faced with appointing his replacementuntil next year’s elections. We are asking any interested residents ofLitcheld to submit a letter of interest outlining why you want to serve onthe committee and what skills you bring to the table. Please submit yourletter of interest to me at [email protected] by Friday April 8. We will be interviewing those who have submitted a letter of interest and thenappointing a new member at our next scheduled meeting on April 21.

As always we invite members of the community to attend any of ourmeetings where we do have an opportunity for community input. Wetypically meet on the fourth ursday at of the month at 7 p.m. in theCampbell High School media room. In the fall during budget reviews wemeet more often. For further information about the Budget Committeeplease check the Town website at www.litcheldnh.gov.

Cynthia Couture, Chair, Litcheld Budget Committee

Take Pride in our Town A recent letter mentioned the unsightly litter we all see driving into

Hudson over the Sagamore Bridge. e stretch of land between MallWartand Goodwill is state property not Town property – therefore our townHighway Department is not responsible for its maintenance. We have adedicated volunteer group in Hudson that holds roadside clean ups twicea year but how much can a group do? Look at the amount of litter on theroads as you drive along Wason, Robinson, Greeley and many other Townroads. Cups, bottles, cans, plastic bags, butts, clothing and general trashcreate an unpleasant picture of Hudson. When folks see litter, they gure noone cares and add their junk to the stuff already there. It adds up. We needto take action and have more pride in our town. Why look for “someone” todo it? Go to that littered area in your neighborhood with your friends, bringgloves and trash bags and let’s pick up some of that stuff. Lastly, what doesit take to keep a bag in your car for your empty cups, beer bottles, wrappersand trash? rowing it out of your car window doesn’t make it disappear; itonly makes it more visible to everyone else.

Long after the Revolution,the System has Failed

Actually there are more failures than there are successes if you look at the whole picture with a critical eye and not a bias towards the government,because some readers think they’re obligated to do so. What I’m yakkingabout is in the March 23 to 30 edition of “ e Sound” a Seacoast areanewspaper, is a story about the Seacoast Family Food Pantry in Portsmouth,celebrating their 200th Anniversary soon, as they prepare to again move toeven larger facilities because they continue to outgrow the existing spacebecause more and more families come to the Food Pantry for their foodneeds.

I’m hoping that any readers of this Opinion Offering aren’t watchingtheir giant screen wall mounted TVs at the same time they’re reading thisimportant message, or they’ll miss the point completely; that this FoodPantry has been in existence for 200 years and continues to grow to providefood needs for Portsmouth area families and individuals in poverty. at is what I mean when I say “Long After the Revolution, the system has failed,”actually it failed a long time ago, like a person who died in the emergencyroom and it just took the doctors a long time to admit that the patient wasdead a long time ago. ( e patient being the Federal Government system.)But nobody seems to care that 200 years of feeding people in need is talkedabout in 2016, while at the same time this President and our FederalGovernment is now proposing that Foreign Aid be given to Argentina and

Cuba, along with various mid-Eastern countries. Nobody seems to have anyinterest in holding this federal government accountable for its gross failuresand conditions that keeps its own citizens in so much poverty for so l ong,that a food pantry is thriving for 200 d-*#!+*@!-d years. But nobody gets it!Everybody is oblivious to the enormous failures of this federal government,that we foot the d-*#@!+*#@!-d bill for, nobody screams to stop this insanityof taking care of people in foreign countries while our own citizens suffer inpoverty and homelessness. at’s an example of what the HLN - EIC talkedabout in his apathy rant. It’s the terminal cancer of this country, it’s part of what’s driving people to drugs and alcohol abuse to mentally get out of allthe apathy in this country and society; it’s their only way out. is federalgovernment and the two-party political system that controls itmust be heldaccountable for such massive failures to its citizens, but it will never be donebecause of apathy. Nobody gives a d-*#@!&%#@!-d.

The Tax Return- The State of NH Tax ReturnsW.F.Boutin EA - Total Tax Solutions LLC

The State of New Hampshire may not have an income tax returnthat affects every citizen of the state, but they do have two returnswhich affect many taxpayers, the DP-10, Interest and Dividends TaxReturn, and the DP-8, Low and Moderate Income HomeownersProperty Tax Relief.

The DP-8 is not a tax return, but is a form that can be led by lowto moderate income taxpayers to receive relief from the burden ofthe additional State Education Property Tax.

The Form DP–8 cannot be submitted prior to May 1 and no laterthan June 30 of each year to the NH Dept. of Revenue Administra-tion. To qualify, you must own a homestead subject to the stateeducation property tax; you must have resided in the homestead onApril 1st of the prior year for which the claim for relief is made;your AGI, as submitted on your Federal Income Tax Return, must beless than $20,000 for the single ling status or less than $40,000 forthe married and head of household ling status. You are notrequired to have led a Federal Return to qualify, but you mustcalculate what income you did have as it would have appeared onthe federal return, had you led. A good majority of the citizens thatdo qualify for this relief are not required to le a Federal Return.Taxpayers, who feel like they may qualify for this relief, should seekassistance in completing these forms so that they do not addincome, such as Social Security Income, to their calculations andlower the amount to which they are entitled. We are available inMay to assist taxpayers in making these calculations and preparingthe forms for submission.

The DP-10, Interest and Dividends Tax Return affects taxpayers

who receive interest and dividends in excess of the exemptionamount allowed by state tax law. Each taxpayer receives anexemption of $2400 for the ling status single or head of house-hold, and $4800 for married ling joint. An additional exemption isallowed for taxpayers 65 or older of $1200 and those considered tobe legally blind an additional $1200. The tax rate on interest anddividends that exceed the exemptions is 5%. We have found thattaxpayers who are required to le this NH Form are usually in ahigh 25% to 28% tax bracket on their federal return. Not only is theincome from these investments being taxed at a high federal rate,but usually the same investments are affecting other areas of theirfederal return causing an additional tax burden. I usually suggestlooking into changing the investments to NH municipal bonds,which earnings would be tax free on the federal and state returns.The bond interest rates on the surface are usually lower than otherinvestments but when the tax burden is factored into the equation,they actually result in a higher interest yield. If you nd yourself inthis predicament, you can use the following formula to determine ifa non-taxable municipal bond is equal to the interest from a taxableinvestment or taxable bond. The formula is: the interest rate paid bythe taxable investment, multiplied by (1 minus the taxpayer’s taxbracket percentage) equals the interest paid after tax.

Example: Mary is in a 25% tax bracket. She receives 5% intereston her CD investment, which is taxable on her federal return. Shewould like to know if investing in a municipal bond that offers only4% interest is to her advantage. Her calculation is .05 (1-.25)= .0375. Her 5% interest after tax is equal to 3.75%. Her invest-ment in a municipal bond at 4% will give her more money and no taffect other areas of her federal income tax return. If not taxable ona state return there will be additional savings realized.

This sums up this year’s articles for “Maintaining Your Piece of thePie”. I hope that they have been informative and that I haveachieved my goal of attempting to make the tax code a bit lessconfusing. I am available year round to answer any tax questionsthat may arise.

by Lynne Ober It started in 1996 with Randy

and Tricia Brownrigg and twolittle kids who searched for 200eggs. Over the years, it hasgrown into a breakfast buffet fornearly 100 people. “The littlekids are now big kids with kidsof their own that they bring withthem,” smiled Randy Brownrigghas he cooked for the buffet.

The Brownrigg’s Eastercelebration has grown every yearand although Randy swears thatevery year is his last year, it is stillgoing strong. When you arriveat the Brownriggs you are met byve bunnies decked out in theirEaster nery and standing at the foot of the driveway.

“One year one of those bunnies was kidnapped,” said TriciaBrownrigg. “We didn’t realize it at rst and then we startedgetting ransom notes – all of them funny and from everywhere.”

“One note came from New York,” recalled Randy.“One note said roses are red, violets are blue and this bunny

doesn’t love you,” ginned Tricia.“One came with a picture of our bunny sitting at a table with

a cocktail.”The next the Easter Bunny was again sitting with his friends at

the end of the driveway where he still sits guard today.Randy made blueberry pancakes, cinnamon pancakes and

buckwheat pancakes. “We got 20 pounds of blueberries, 30pounds of bacon and 24 dozen eggs,”he said. “Can you tell I like to cook?”

New arrivals also brought goodiesto eat. By 8:30 a.m. over 7,000 plasticeggs were scattered over the front, sideand back lawns. Large inated bunnieswatched over the eggs from the frontlawn. “I can tell you that 2,500 eggsgo into one bucket,” said Tricia. “Forsome reason I counted as we lled thebucket.” All the eggs had candy andchange. “We probably have about$200 dollars in change inside the eggs,”said Randy.

It was clear that this is a familytradition that has grown and grown andnow encompasses friends, families andneighbors.

A Family Easter CelebrationExpands to a Buffet for 100

Well within One Mile - continued from front page

A Perfect Storm - continued from front pageBonnie kept telling about the community and the support that

Ashley and the rest of the family received and how upon arrivinghome they noticed the dining room table was covered withcards.

In fact, Ashley’s dad, Randy, had taped so many to the largewindow that you could not see out. This family could not bemore thankful for the outpouring of support. Now that Ashley isrecovering, the family is determined to pay it forward.

Ashley returned to school a week after the event, and has adebrillator; she is heading toward a complete recovery.

While Ashley was in the hospital the Alvirne community hada fundraiser to offset medical costs. When the family’s insurancecovered most of the expenses, Alvirne Principal Steve Bealsasked what the family wanted to do with the funds that had

been raised. He mentioned to them a project that he had onthe drawing board for a while: to offer CPR and AED training toevery student and staff member at Alvirne. The family felt thiswas the best way to pay it forward and agreed that that wouldbe the ideal use of the funds. As Principal Beals ordered thenecessary equipment to complete training for the 1,500 peopleinvolved, the Massachusetts company where they were orderedfrom chose to donate the training units. Now the collectedfunds will be used to purchase another AED for the school.

On Thursday, April 21, the high school teachers, staff andstudents will be trained in hands-only CPR and the properuse of an AED. Hudson Fire and Police, along with Hudsonschool nurses and other trained community partners, will teachmembers of the high school community how to perform theseimportant skills. The public is invited to join the Alvirne studentsand staff in the training event. The public training times arefrom 9:15 to 11 a.m. or from noon to 1:30 p.m. Please park inthe visitors’ area and enter through the Steckevicz gym’s mainentrance.

Dumais explained how critical the use of these skills can befor survival in a sudden cardiac arrest. The window for a goodoutcome is only six minutes, and for every minute after two,there is a 10 -percent drop in survivability.

It would be a major omission not to stress, once again, howgrateful the Dumais family is to everyone who showed theirsupport during this life-changing event.

Ashley’s hope is that people will realize the importance ofCPR and AED training and maybe other schools will followAlvirne’s effort to increase awareness.

was found in the two wells at the Dar-Col Horse stables; the levelwas 350 ppt. This drawing is from Thursday’s meeting and theresult received by DES is not incorporated.

Many questions remain unanswered with the only answersthat residents truly got from the state were 1) there is a concern,without any lifetime level for people yet established, we justdon’t know, but we will test all the wells in a 1-mile radius ofthe plant and if your well tests above 100 ppt then the state willprovide you with bottled drinking water. 2) when asked aboutnative-grown produce bring affected there was no clear answer.3) How will this effect property values? Again, no clear answer.

For residents who receive water from the municipal watersystem operated by Pennichuck, those wells have been testedand came back at 7 and 9 ppt. This is the water that is in theHudson water; the water used in the Hudson municipal system issupplied by the wells owned by Hudson in Litcheld.

Both Senator Kelly Ayotte and Governor Maggie Hassanhave written to Washington asking the EPA to quantify thehealth standards. From the senator’s press release: “U.S.Senator Kelly Ayotte today wrote to Environmental ProtectionAgency (EPA) Administrator Gina McCarthy urging her toexpedite the release of a n ew health advisory standard for thechemical peruorooctanoic acid (PFOA) following reports ofwater contamination in several cities and towns across New

Hampshire.”“Due to the increasing number of impacted communities,the unknown potential health effects related to using watercontaminated by PFOA, and the conicting standards as towhat level of PFOA should prompt water treatment or use of analternative water source, I urge EPA to expedite the determinationand release of the new health advisory standard for PFOA assoon as possible,” wrote Senator Ayotte.

The EPA has identied PFOA as an “emerging contaminate,”and, in 2009, the agency issued a provisional health advisory fordrinking water of 400 ppt for PFOA. New Hampshire residentsconcerned with this emerging contaminate have learned that inthe State of New York, the EPA has set an “action level” of 100

ppt of PFOA, and further the State of Maine has set a healthadvisory level of 100 ppt and the State of Vermont has set ahealth advisory level of 20 ppt. These varying levels have created

great uncertainty among the public regarding what PFOA level issafe for use and consumption.”From Governor Hassan’s press release: “Governor Maggie

Hassan, Governor Andrew M. Cuomo of New York and GovernorPeter Shumlin of Vermont ofcially requested that the U.S.Environmental Protection Agency conduct a review of the bestavailable science regarding peruorooctanoic acid (PFOA), inorder to assess and ensure the safety of drinking water exposedto the contaminant. Additionally, the Governors called for fullfederal funding of the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund andthe Clean Water Revolving Fund, which are critical tools forsupporting state efforts to upgrade drinking water infrastructure.

Governor Hassan, NY Governor Cuomo and VT GovernorShumlin urge the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency toreview and issue new PFOA guidelines for safe drinking water

Only one Litcheld Selectman, Brett Lemire, lives in the one-mile circle. When emails were traded on Monday of this week,Selectman Lemire had the following comment: “Yes, my wellwas tested over a week ago but I have not gotten the results backyet. We are 3 houses up from DarCol stables and DES testedall of ours as well. My neighbor is on bottled water also at this

point as of last Saturday. My well is a deep artesian and I havea ltration system so it may be a moot issue but I’m not sure.I’ve decided to take a step back, listen to the experts and followtheir advice at this point. I’m condent that they will do what’sin our best interest when they determine the cause, effect andramications of this issue.”

W o o d P e l l e t s

The Fox is a little worn out this week. Maybe it was all theEaster egg hunts or the sunrise services. The Fox found thatthose plastic eggs all over the ground look great but don’t tastetoo good until you get to the goodies on the inside. A one pawup to everyone who gives their time and energy to make eventshappen. As it is almost a week since the last hunt, all the littleones out there have come down from their sugar highs.

And now our focus needs to turn to a very importantsituation in Litcheld.

Everyone --people and our four-leggedfriends-- needs clean safe drinking water,and that seems to be a real big issue for thesection of north Litcheld next to the rivercenter in the area of Saint Francis Churchand School for the lack of a better knownlandmark. Homeowners in the one-mileradius know as they have been contactedby the state. The question is, of course,how bad is this, and what health situationsare there. If PFOA (Peruorooctanoic acid)concerns have been known since 2001and the manufacturing company started phasing it out in 2004,why has it just reached a level of concern in 2016? The Fox’sears are up on this one.

Now to something that might be legal but doesn’t seem tobe right, but then the Fox has the option to be wrong. But itseems Litcheld now has a husband and wife on the BudgetCommittee. Jennifer Bourque ran for and won a seat on thecommittee with 428 votes. While her husband, Brain Bourque,became a School Board member in the same election with 654votes and everyone knew that they both where run as they hadcampaign signs around town with both of their names on themand the ofces that they were seeking. But did anyone thinkthat Mr. Bourque would be the School Board representativeto the Budget Committee? While the Fox doesn’t know theBourques, he certainly respects everyone who commits

themselves to serve their town as people who our worldneeds more of. But could the school board chair have made adifferent committee assignment then for the husband? There area lot of responsibilities for school board members and maybethis isn’t a great one.

The Fox got into a conversation with several Litcheld folksthis week and budget became a topic. Wonder why, but againthe question of who checks the default budget came up. In

SB2 towns it is generated by a formula setby RSA, and for those who have read theFox’s running in circles diatribes, these justgot faster. The RSA is last year’s operatingbudget less any one-time spending plusany contracted obligation that gives thevoters who don’t like the operating budgetthat the governing body asked to beapproved and gure that won’t close theschool if the no votes won. School andtown need to continue and really can shutdown, but it seems that no one checksthose calculations except the person/

department/board who but these numbers together. Whycan’t the budget committee do that? While it would be timeconsuming, it should be very hard in today’s world of computersand spreadsheets or just a marker and a pencil. If you boughta freezer for the school kitchen that should be out, but votersagreed to a three-year contract with a pay raise for janitors andnow it is year two that needs to be included. And with a shakeof the tail you have a number. A lot of decisions as to what areone-time purchases and no one is checking.

Regarding budgets, Hudson has seen the school board ndmoney for a raise in the bus rate and a new strategies teacherand a STEM director all with budget transfers. Money doesn’tgrow on trees, so for the budget that starts in July changes“transfers are all ready needed.”

Asset Forfeiture Fund for NH LawEnforcement Reinstated

Action follows calls from Sen. Shaheen to resume programsubmitted by the Ofce ofU.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen

On March 28, U.S. Attorney General LorettaLynch announced that the Asset ForfeitureFund, an important source of funding for NewHampshire state and local law enforcement,would be reinstated. Late last month at ahearing of the Appropriations Subcommittee onCommerce, Justice and Science, U.S. Senator

Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) questioned Lynch onthe suspension of the fund and the program’simportance to local law enforcement in NewHampshire.

“Our police are stretched thin and need allthe resources they can get to respond to theopioid crisis,” said Shaheen. “Suspension of thiscritical source of funding couldn’t have come atworse time. However, today I’m very relievedthat the Department of Justice will once againallow this funding to be used by our local policedepartments. It makes sense that assets seized inNew Hampshire should go towards ghting crime

in New Hampshire. Our ofcers are saving livesand putting dealers behind bars every day, and I’mvery pleased these funds will once again aid themin their efforts.”

Assets seized by police during joint federal andstate investigations are generally liquidated by thefederal government with a p ercentage returnedto the state. Suspension of state reimbursementthrough the Asset Forfeiture Fund has resulted inless revenue for purchasing equipment, providingtraining, and direct support for other policeactivities. These scal challenges have beencompounded by the opioid crisis which has puta tremendous burden on law enforcement. Thereinstatement of the Asset Forfeiture Fund will givelaw enforcement access to the resources necessaryto continuetheir work toaddress thestate’s growingopioid crisis.
