    Cannot Be Combined.Expires 7/4/2014

    by Len LathropA 16-year-old male student from Alvirne HighSchool was taken into custody on Wednesday,May 28 by Hudson Police for having a hit listof five students. The student was arrested andarraigned that afternoon in Nashua District Courtafter the court found that the Hudson Police hada true bill involving this juvenile. All local newsoutlets were notified, and many interviewedSchool District Superintendant Bryan Lane andPolice Chief Jason Lavoie at Alvirne following thearrest.

    This week your HLN followed up with bothSuperintendant Lane and Captain Avery of theHudson Police to provide our readers with anupdate. As the student is a juvenile, the recordsare sealed, even more tightly than those of anadult who has been arrested. Captain Averyadvised that at this time the charges are not

    considered adult charges and the matter remainsin the juvenile court system.

    Avery mentioned that he has received manyphone calls from neighbors and residentsconcerned with their families safety. Hereinforced that this was a specific threat againstfive students and not a general threat about thehigh school and the community, not a random hitlist. All the families involved, three in the Hudsoncommunity and two in Pelham, have beencontacted, and Pelham Police Chief Joe Roark hasbeen involved in the ongoing case.

    Lane, when asked about school consequences,explained that they are following the policy statedin the student handbook where a RSA (a statestatute) is referenced. According to the studenthandbook, the school principal can suspend astudent for up to 10 days and the superintendent

    can suspend for an additional 10 days. Afterthat, the issue goes to the school board whereexpulsions can be voted on. He cautioned thatthis situation is in the courts hands and is stillongoing. Until the case is adjudicated, he did notbelieve the board would be involved, but all wereadvised of the situation.

    Avery could not comment on where thestudent was at this time, but confirmed thatHudson Police searched the juveniles home onWednesday; the results of that search have beensealed by the courts.

    While the HLNelected not to contact otherstudents about the event, Lane pointed out thatone positive aspect was that the reporting student,when confronted with the social media threat,felt comfortable approaching a teacher for help.Another positive component was that the school

    administration and Hudson Police acted swiftlyto resolve any further escalation of the situation.Avery also spoke about how well this washandled by the school department and how everyavailable resource of the Hudson Police was usedin this investigation; patrol officers, detectives,and the prosecutor to the command staff were allactive once the call was received.

    Neither Lane nor Avery had the answers tomany of the million dollar questions aboutwhat would ultimately happen and when, butthe newspaper editor was struck by a voluntarycomment from the police captain: Alvirne is agreat school, and 99.99 percent of the studentsare great students. I hope that the communityrealizes that.

    Alvirne Student Charged with Criminal Threatening

    by Tom TollefsonPolice officers make a difference every day, whether its

    apprehending a dangerous suspect or simply rescuing a dog or

    cat. However, Hudson police officer Robert Lamarche recentlymade a difference on his own time in a very different way. OnMarch 25, Lamarche donated bone marrow to potentially save amans life.

    I just feel like its in my nature to genuinely help people. Alot of people commended me for what I did, but I look at it as

    just being a lucky match. The donation didnt cost anythingpersonally or financially and potentially helping save someoneslife outweighs anything bad that could have come from it,Lamarche said.

    The organization Delete Blood Cancer organized the entireprocess for Lamarche and the bone marrow recipient. Lamarcheis currently waiting to hear about the recipients conditionafter the stem cell transfusion. Delete Blood Cancer only giveslimited information about the anonymous recipient. The onlyinformation Lamarche knows is that the man is 39 years old, hasa type of Leukemia called AML (Acute Myeloid Leukemia), andlives in the United States. A year after a donation, the donor andrecipient can meet, if mutually agreed upon.

    Id like to meet my recipient and see that they had asuccessful transfusion and put a face to the case, he said.

    The technical name for the process is peripheral bloodstem cell donation. First it involved him being injected witha synthetic protein, Filgrastim, which increased his bodysproduction of more blood stem cells. They hooked him up to amachine that separated the stem cells from his blood, and then itwould return anything that it didnt need back into his body. Theprocedure itself took five and a half hours, and they collectedenough stem cells for two transfusions, if needed.

    The procedure itself was like donating blood, just for fiveand a half hours, Lamarche said about his experience. In myleft arm was the line they used to extract the blood. They wentthrough the machine with the centrifuge (a piece of equipment).They were able to separate the stem cells out of my blood andcollect the stem cells into an IV bag, and return the remainingwhite and red blood cells that werent needed.

    by Lynne OberThe grand opening of the North Barn, home to Hudsons Senior

    Center and Hudson Community Television, occurred this pastweekend. The weather was breezy with clouds flowing overheadand the sun peeking through the entire proceedings. The NorthBarn, built in memory of the big red barn that burned down onBenson Park grounds, is just on the edge of the park.

    Prior to the beginning of the grand opening festivities, peoplegathered in the parking lot. Lots of talking, laughing and smilesfloated through the air as everyone eagerly anticipated the openingof the senior center.

    It was a celebration that seemed to span decades as peopletold stories about the 22-year fundraising efforts of Hudsonseniors as they dreamed of a home of their own. Town

    Administrator Steve Malizia kicked the proceeds off by introducingselectmen, Congresswoman Kuster, Senator Sharon Carson, StateRepresentatives Andy Renzullo, Rick LaVasseur, Lars Christensen,Lynne Ober, Russ Ober, Bob Haefner, Shawn Jasper, Mary AnnKnowles, Charlene Takasian, school board members, the recreationdirector, Steve Porter of the Council on Aging, and Lucille Boucher,who has been a long time promoter of Hudson seniors.

    Kuster spoke first and talked about the years of work needed tomake the project a reality. The best part is now the facility is open.Our seniors represent the very best of us.

    Lucille Boucher followed and said, Welcome. This has been along time coming. The seniors held their first fundraiser on March 9,1992. She said that the Council on Aging had furnished the insideof the senior center. Lucille noted that several people who hadhelped with the project had died, but she felt they were watchingfrom heaven.

    Steve Porter, chairman of the Senior Affairs Committee, saidthat he wanted to express thanks and gratitude to everyone whohad helped with this project over the years. We want as many

    programs as possible held in this building.Mike OKeefe, chairman of the Cable Utility Committee, saidhe wanted the cable group to be known as Hudson CommunityTelevision and hoped that many creative and informative programswould be developed in the new studio.

    Wow, said former selectman Ken Massey. Why is the buildingbuilt like a red barn? He spoke about the barn that burned on theBenson property and said they felt it was a fitting tribute to use thatbuilding design, but noted that the inside of the building lookednothing like a barn.

    Former selectman Shawn Jasper said he liked to dwell on historyand recalled the groups who had wanted a home for seniors andwho had worked to make that a reality. This will truly be a homeand it is a debt-free facility.

    Selectman Roger Coutu invites former Selectman Jasper.

    This marks the 60th year thatthe International Association ofFirefighters has taken on the battle ofMuscular Dystrophy. In 1952, Bostonresident Charlie Crowley who had

    two children who were affected byMuscular Dystrophy went to a friend,Boston Firefighter George Graney, forhelp. Graney, with assistance of 20other members of Bostons Local 718,completed a neighborhood door-to-doordrive and collected at that time the largesum of $5,000.

    In 1954, Boston Firefighters attendedthe IAFF national convention wherethey proposed that the IAFF take onthe Muscular Dystrophy Associationas their charity. Since that time, morethan $240 million has been raised forresearch and treatments to prolongthe lives of children suffering withMuscular Dystrophy. This assistancehas been used to purchase braces andwheelchairs, in community healthcenters, support groups, and for summercamps.

    Since 1997, the ProfessionalFirefighters of Hudson have held Fillthe Boot drives at intersections aroundtown. That first year, Hudson firefightersfound that a young girl living across

    the streetfrom CentralFire Station

    was suffering from this debilitatingdisease. With this young girl motivatingfirefighters, they were determined toraise funds to help find a cure andthe Fill the Boot d rives became ayearly event. Today that little girl hascompleted college and is marriedbut still remains the inspiration for

    firefighters to continue their work.This work has been the focus of onemember, Dispatcher Gayle Robertson.This past March Gayle was presentedthe 2013 MDA Above & Beyond Awardfor her 10 years of dedicated work withmany events for Muscular Dystrophy.

    Since Hudsons first Boot Drive in1997, about $219,621 has been raised

    through the generosity of motorists. Thisgenerosity from the Hudson communityis the backbone of our work. TheProfessional Firefighters of Hudson arevery appreciative are thankful for all thesupport.

    The Fill the Boot drives will be heldagain in the months of June, July and

    August. Firefighters, family and friendswill be out seeking donations at theintersection of Derry, Ferry and Chasestreets on June 7, beginning at 9 a.m.When you pass through the intersection,please fill the boot and help yourfirefighters find a cure for MuscularDystrophy.

    Do not Support aRevised First Amendment

    As Ronald Regan would say now here you go again. Our DemocraticSenator, Jeanne Shaheen has backed legislation that would curtail the 1stAmendment to the Constitution.

    Te amendment proposed by Senator Udall and co-sponsored by JeanneShaheen, with the help of Majority leader in the Senate, Harry Reid, wouldamend the First Amendment to curtail citizens speech. Te amendment isfour or five times longer that the first amendment itself. Just what we needis more regulations.

    Tis amendment would give the Congress and the states the ability toregulate the amount of money that c andidates for office would be able toraise and spend. Tat is a curtailment of speech. Why does the governmentneed to control the political participation of the peoples funding?

    Tis article also indicates abridging of speech of the people, but not thepress. Basically the government wants to control the people but not thepress. We know why they would want that included.

    It would not be to long before our government uses this amendmentin different ways than it was originally intended. Tey dont follow theconstitution now. What makes us believe that they would not expand thisto other areas?

    I am still trying to find anything during Shaheens 6 years in office thatshe has done, to deserve another 6 year term.

    We need to vote the senator out of office before she can sponsor more billsthat give the government control over the people.

    It has come to the Litchfield/Campbell High School Administrative eamthat social media is again being used in an inappropriate fashion. District/School administration and the Litchfield Police have been made aware of awebsite used nationally that is accessing social media accounts from studentsall over the nation. Tis message to you is dual pronged and we as acommunity would like you to have a conversation with your children duringthe next few days.

    First, please discuss that this website has no real known origin and thatthe authorities are aware of it a nd dealing with it appropriately.

    Secondly, please discuss withyour children about limiting theconversations dealing with thissubject matter due to individualsensitivity towards this topic.

    If you have any questions orconcerns feel free to email me or

    call: 603-546-0300, ext. 1111, [email protected].

    Dear Mr. BealsI am a parent to two of your students. I had heard about the hit list

    through the media and thought that as a parent I would have received anemail in regards to this and I have not. My son had came home from schoolon 5/29/14 and talked to my husband and I about what he had heard. Myson was concerned for the safety of his fellow classmates. I would like toknow why the students were told on 5/30/14 not to discuss this matter orthey would be suspended? I believe that all of your students should havesome form of outreach available to them to talk about how this effectsthem. Children and young adults need to be able to discuss their feelsand or concerns that effect them at school and you are not allowing thisto happened. Please advise me as a parent on these issue that concern myteens. When things like this happened in other school there are counselorsavailable for the children to talk to. Why is this not happening in yourschool?

    Concerned Mother, Hudson

    Where are Mr. Atwoods Credentials?Having followed the back and forth between Joe DeLeo and Bruce

    Atwood, I am adding my own commentary. Mr. DeLeo is a degreedclimate scientist who still works as such at companies like WeatherBell. Hehas studied weather for a greater part of his life and has the experience ofhis studies. Mr. Atwood, it seems, spends his days looking up stats thataddress climate change and global warming only to disagree with a wellknown climatologist. I have yet to see Mr. Atwoods credentials as a weatherspecialist.

    Tat said, I would suggest that thinking that we as humans can doanything about the earths changing climate is arrogant and delusional at theleast.

    Sandra LeVasseur, Hudson

    Not Hiding behind Anonymityof Tumbs Column

    Unlike the parents hiding behind the anonymity of the weekly TumbsUp, Tumbs Down column and the players disrespectful rants on socialmedia sites regarding Mr. Lee as a coach, I would like to come forward and

    share some thoughts that I would ask you to kindly consider. My name isKameo LeLievre, and I have had the pleasure of knowing Mr. Lee for severalyears now as he was my brothers baseball coach when he was at Alvirne, andmy economics teacher my senior year. In addition, my dad volunteers as acoach on the Varsity Baseball team this year, and my sister manages the teambooks.

    First, I find it quite ironic that many of you are the first to confrontappropriate authority figures when you disagree with Mr. Lees approachto coaching, and you want him to be held responsible, but should yourchildren not be held accountable for their actions as well? We are all unifiedin making mistakes, but are we all unified in owning them? You may notagree with some of his methods, but I can guarantee that he is providingyour children with preparation for the real world both on and off the field.I can speak to this first hand as he provided a life lesson each time I enteredhis classroom by challenging those willing to better themselves every da y.He may be tough, but he is honest, genuine and has a passion for the gamethat pushes the boys to be the best possible players they can be every timethey walk onto the field.

    When your son has a boss he dislikes, a professor he finds controversywith or another coach he conflicts with, you will not be able to fight hisbattles, and your thumbs down will not matter. What are these anonymous

    thumbs down teaching your children anyways? Respect? Courage?Independence? One day, they will have to learn to handle lifes lessonson their own, and now should be the start. Mr. Lee may not be the onethrowing strikes or making outs, but remember he is the one behind thescenes in the dugout guiding your sons success in the game. Fridays gameagainst Merrimack stands as a prime example. Your current 10-8 recordwould not be possible without him. You are so quick to judge him for thenegative, but what about the positive? You should consider it a privilegeto play for him and start letting your life speak through your actions.Undoubtedly, Mr. Lee has in his thirty years of dedicated coaching.

    I wish the Alvirne Broncos Varisty Baseball eam the best of luck inplayoffs, and I hope you translate more of your energy into cheering at thegames where you will be heard loud a nd clear.

    Kameo LeLievre, Hudson

    by Laurie JasperJune 7 is a very special date in Hudson. It is the

    fifth anniversary of the dedication of the GeorgeH. and Ella M. Rodgers Memorial Library. Forsome, it may seem like only yesterday that thebeautiful 15,000 square foot structure opened itsmajestic doors to the public. For others, it mayseem as if Hudsons library has always been at194 Derry Road, nestled near Alvirne High Schooland Hills Garrison School on an educationalcampus.

    To celebrate the special event, RodgersMemorial Library invites the community toattend a special 5th Birthday Celebration onSaturday, June 7, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., rain orshine. There will be music,face painting, childrenscrafts, sidewalk chalk andloads of fun. In addition,local authors will be inattendance throughout thebuilding, and event goerswill have an opportunity tomeet them and purchasetheir works.

    Those who wish mayenter a special raffle if theyvisit at least five authorsand have their passportstamped. Since no birthdayparty is really completewithout cake, a varietyof free birthday cupcakes

    will be offered as part of a Cupcake BakingContest. Also, June 7 has been dubbedFine Forgiveness and Free Library CardReplacement Day. For that one day only,patrons who want previous fines on theiraccount forgiven or need to replace a lost cardmay come to the library in person to receivethis gift. Charges for lost or damaged items arenot included in Fine Forgiveness.

    It was exactly five years ago to the date,on Sunday, June 7, 2009, that the grand

    opening of the George H. and Ella M. RodgersMemorial Library took place. In 2007,Hudson residents G. Philip and Alvin Rodgersdonated the $4 million needed to build the

    new library located at 194 DerryRoad. Named in honor of Philand Al Rodgers late parents,the Rodgers Memorial Libraryreplaced its p redecessor, HillsMemorial Library, 100 years after

    that historic building was built.Rodgers Memorial Library is more than three

    times the size of Hills Memorial Library, offeringpatrons a spacious, well-lighted facility, with

    a community room, two study rooms, plentyof comfortable seating, a separate childrensprogramming room, and well-appointed parking.Hudson will forever be grateful to Phil andAl Rodgers and the Rodgers family for theirtremendous gift to the town. The two were theeldest of five sons of George and Ella Rodgers.They began Rodgers Brothers Construction in1956, building quality homes and commercial

    properties along with a solid reputation in thegreater Hudson area. Throughout their lives, theyalso actively served their community.

    Sadly, G. Philip Rodgers died on March 10,

    2011 at the age of 82.Stop by Rodgers Memorial Library on June

    7; bring the family. Enjoy a cupcake; listen tosome musical entertainment; meet an author ortwo. Celebrate Rodgers Memorial Librarys fifthbirthday and the legacy given with pride by Philand Al Rodgers.

    2:00-4:00 pm203 Lowell Road, Hudson, NH

    by Joseph DAleo, CCMThe greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance, it is the

    illusion of knowledge, according to Daniel J. Boorstin, an Americanhistorian and former librarian of the U.S. Congress.

    Recently the media reported John Kerrys proclamation, in MexicoCity, that the temperatures in Europe and Russia of 29-34C (84-89F)

    was unprecedented, breaks every record thats ever been seen. Hesaid it with such certainty and concern.

    Only he could not be more wrong. The highest temperature everrecorded in European Russia was 44C (111F) in 2010; in Germany40.2C (104F) in 1983 and 2003; in Italy 48.5C (119F) in 1999; andin Turkey 48.8C (120) in 1993 and Spain 51C (124F) in 1876.

    It probably has happened to you we are inclined to believe whatwe hear on the news as factual, but then when a reporter reports ona subject you know a lot about and gets it wrong, you cry out at theTV, No, thats not true. Todays media is not like the journalis tsfrom years ago who checked and double-checked facts before theywere aired. Today there is pressure to be first, to hype stories and tobe always politically correct.UN Politics Wins out over Science

    This happened with the latest UN report after one lead authorannounced the UN needed to be honest and admit that their modelswere failing as temperatures stopped rising 15 or more years agofor reasons they could not explain and uncertainty was far greaterthan they had previously projected. He was quickly silenced asour administration and many other countries sent representatives topressure the summary team to stay with the predetermined message

    despite what scientists might think or the inconvenient facts.They followed what Einstein said agenda-driven people often do:

    If the facts dont fit the theory, change the facts.These hijinks already led one of the reports best known

    contributors, Professor Richard Tol of Sussex University, to refuse tosign, because he was uncomfortable with the tone of hysteria in thereport summary. Lead author Harvards Robert Stavins alleged anastonishing three quarters of the original document was deleted orrevised after a late-night meeting in Berlin.

    Professor Stavins said the government officials fought to makebig changes to the full reports summary for policymakers. Thisis the condensed version usually cited by the worlds media andpoliticians.

    Stavins said in the final meeting he was one of only two scientistspresent, surrounded by 45 or 50 government officials. He saidalmost all of them made clear that any text that was consideredinconsistent with their interests and positions in multilateralnegotiations would be treated as unacceptable.Hurricane Threat

    You will remember that the politicians and media used Sandy in2012 as evidence of mans effect on climate.

    Although it was called a superstorm, Sandy came ashore as barelya Category 1 storm. Sandy did its damage because of bad timing coming at high tide and full moon and on a track that forced waterto converge on the region where Long Island and New Jersey form aright angle forcing water to converge on the city at the apex.

    Politicians and our media have no sense of history. Most ofour elderly family members will tell you stories about the greathurricanes (most Category 3 or greater) that savaged the east coastfrom 1938 to 1960 during the last favorable Atlantic mode (theHurricane of 1938, The Great Atlantic Hurricane of 1944, Carol,Edna and Hazel in 1954, and Connie and Diane in 1955 and thenDonna in 1960).

    I told the tale of the great Hurricane of 38 called the September

    Surprise in 2008here: http://www.intellicast.com/Community/Content.aspx?ref=rss&a=135.The Great New England

    Hurricane of 1938 struckas a strong Category 3on September 21. Theanemometer at theBlue Hill Observatoryregistered a peak windgust of 186 mph beforethe instrument broke.Significant damageoccurred in our area.The hurricane killedmore than 600 peopleand leveled most treesacross the entire region.Its considered the worstNew England storm ofthe modern era.

    In New York City, therehave been many strongerstorms than Sandyincluding a Category

    3 hurricane in 1821at the end of the LittleIce Age. With the city completely unprepared forsuch a monstrous storm, the damage was enormousfor the time. It could have been worse except itcame ashore at low tide, only 152,000 people livedin New York City, and there were no subways ortunnels to flood. Now 8.2 million live in the city, 20million in the metropolitan area, many on coastalland, reclaimed swamp and natural barrier beachesthat nature has created to protect the mainland fromhurricanes.

    For all of us in New England it has been a longtime since the great storms of 1938 and 1944 andCarol in 1954. You have to be a senior citizen andhave lived here then to remember.

    In my role with Joe Bastardi at Weatherbell.com, we forecast weather seasons in advance. Wepredicted last July that this past winter would bebrutal. We predicted a relatively cool and wetsummer this year and another cold winter nextyear but further east. We use cycles in the oceansand sun and other natural factors to make thesepredictions.

    In 1995 the Atlantic went back into the mode thatfavors more Atlantic hurricanes. Most until 2011hit the Southeast and then Florida and the Gulf.The Northeast was spared though Isabel (photo) in2003 came close. In early 2011, we predicted thatour luck would soon run out and provided earlywarnings of Irenes landfall naming NYC. In 2012we alerted New York and New Jersey more than aweek in advance to get ready for Sandy.

    We have advised our clients that again this year,

    the East Coast, including New England, is vulnerableeven though activity overall in the Atlantic shouldbe normal or below normal. If we see a major storm,expect politicians would not let a crisis go to wasteand, with help of the environmentalists and the media,would once again endlessly hype it and exploit it.

    If it happens this year, dont let them tell you it isunprecedented and we are responsible. Please seealso this: Obama EPA rebuttal: http://icecap.us/index.php/go/joes-blog/why_obamas_epa_plan_is_not_needed2.

    History is a relentless master. It has no present,only the past rushing into the future. To try to hold fastis to be swept aside. John F. Kennedy

    Joe DAleo, a Hudson resident for the last 25 years,co-founded The Weather Channel and served as its firstdirector of meteorology back in 1982. With more than40 years of experience in professional meteorology,he has served as chief meteorologist for Weatherbell

    Analytics since 2011. As a fellow of the AmericanMeteorologist Society, he has testified about weatherand climate before federal and state legislatures andtaken the science lead on legal briefs to the D.C. circuitand U.S. Supreme courts. Let Joe know what you thinkat [email protected].

    Troop 11 attendedthe West Point ScoutMasters Council

    Camporee from May3-6. There were 29adults and Scoutsfrom Litchfield inattendance. It was awonderful experience.To be selected forthis Camporee, wefirst needed to besponsored by a WestPoint cadet. Troop 11was honored to havesecond-year Cadetand Litchfield residentChuck Neild sponsorour troop. Chuckand I had known eachother from football and Future Business Leaders ofAmerica (FBLA). I first approached Chuck last year, butunfortunately we werent selected. This year, we re-

    applied and got in. Over 7,000 scouts, from all over thecountry, were in attendance. Many more had applied,but had been turned away. It was quite an honor to be

    selected.The Camporee began with a three-

    mile hike to Lake Frederick. We thenfollowed with extensive physicaltraining. The Camporee was set upwith many different competitive sites,including a leadership reaction courseand an obstacle course just to namea few. We were also called uponto memorize many important WestPoint facts that helped the troop earnadditional points. It was a lot of fun.

    We were able to meet many otherscouts from different troops, and webrought away many great memories ofour time at West Point. I would liketo personally thank all the adults whohelped make this trip possible, and givea special thanks to Cadet Chuck Neild.

    First-time Eventfor Troop 11 at West Point

    by Laurie JasperThe Hudson Historical Society held its annual

    meeting on Wednesday, May 28, at the historicAlvirne Hills House. After the business portionof the meeting, society members were treated toa performance by four members of the OttarnickDulcimer Club.

    Bob Haefner shared the history of theinstrument, stating that the traditional way to

    play the dulcimer is to pluck or strum the stringswith the right hand while fretting or pressingdown on the strings behind the frets (raiseddividers under the strings). Bob and his grandson,Matt Haefner, visited a dulcimer festival and acompany in Arkansas that makes dulcimers duringtheir return trip home following Matts recentgraduation from the University of Montana. BothBob and Matt have been playing the dulcimer forabout eight years, while Cheri Stafford Rogers hasbeen playing for 20 years and Rich Labbe started

    two years ago. Inbetween songs,Cheri entertainedwith interestingand often amusinganecdotes aboutthe musicalselections.

    The HudsonHistorical Society

    is busy preparingfor Hudsonsannual Old HomeDays weekend, aswell as the secondannual LumberjackShow on Saturday,September 27. Formore information,visit www.HudsonHistorical.com.

    Every item in the store will always be made in NH only. The

    owners want people to know what they are buying and eating.We stand behind local farmers, chefs, and businesses who create

    NH made products, continued Goodwin.We have visited farms to see the way things are being made and

    chemicals used before choosing which farms to use in our store. Welike companies who go back to the way food used to be made withreal ingredients.

    The newly redecorated space features a penny floor and separaterooms and displays showcasing over 60 New Hampshire smallbusinesses.

    Products featured will be produce and meats, catered lunches,meals to go, organic products, home pantry staples, natural healthand beauty products, cleaning products and pet foods, florals, giftbaskets, and more.

    Supporting local helps our State of NewHampshires economy and helps the 60-plus

    small businesses in our store, explainedGoodwin. This was our passion behindstarting this store, and we know people willlove it.
