The GFWC Hudson Junior
Womans and Community
Clubs hosted a Bunny Blast on
Saturday, March 19, from 9 to
11 a.m. at Rodgers Memorial
Library. This event was in place
of the annual Bunny Breakfast
normally held at the Hudson
Community Center. Plenty
of goodies such as muffins,
donuts, breads, coffee, juice
and candy were offered to
the 100 children, parents and
grandparents who stopped
by, and several Easter crafts
were on hand for creative kids.
The highlight of the event, of
course, was the arrival of the
Easter Bunny, who was eager to
have his photograph taken with
everyone who visited.
I think the kids who came had
a wonderful time; a lot of people
have been doing the crafts and
taking out books. Its like doing
the kids chores all at once, said
GFWC Hudson Juniors President
Linda Kipnes. We appreciate
the library giving us the space
and helping us out today. This
has been wonderful. I would
like to get back to the Bunny
Breakfast next year, though,
concluded Kipnes.
Recreation Director David
Yates said they had a dance at
the Community Center on Friday
night, which is when the Bunny
Breakfast set up usually occurs.
Yates said he did offer to do the
set up for the group after the
dance. However, at that point,
Linda Kipnes decided to find
an alternative for this year. The
GFWC Hudson Junior Womans
Club plans to continue the Bunny
Breakfast tradition next year.

In honor of Dr. Seuss and his birthday on March 2, the students at
Griffin Memorial School celebrated Read Across America week.
To kick off the week, they had an assembly where they sang two
Dr. Seuss songs led by Mrs. LaBelle, and read the Readers Oath.
Miss West read a poem and Mrs. Elliotts class performed a Dr.
Seuss skit. The audience had on the craziest hats ever seen. On
Tuesday, to represent the book, I Am Not Going to Get Up Today,
everyone wore their pajamas. On Wednesday, everyone went wacky

with their clothing and hair. Some had mixed socks and shoes
on. Others dyed their hair different colors. At 10 a.m., everyone
gathered in the hallway and read silently for 15 minutes. The walls
were lined with kids reading their amazing books. On Thursday,
everyone showed their school spirit to support their school by
wearing orange and black clothing. This is Griffin Memorials colors!
On Friday, everyone wore as many colors as they could to represent
the book My Many Colored Days. The students ended Read
Across America week by partner reading with older and younger
students paired together. Throughout the week, the cafeteria,
directed by Hilda Lawrence, served reading-themed lunches, such as
Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs subs. The students definitely
had fun during Read Across America week.

Remember Hudson When ...

Bronze Tablet Donated by Webster School Students in 1933
submitted by Ruth Parker
While giving tours and talking town history
we, at the Historical Society, frequently hear the
question When was our town established? The
bronze tablet pictured here identifies the five
birthdays, or founding dates, for our town.
Dunstable, Mass., was founded in 1673.
Most of the land contained within the present
boundaries of Hudson was included within that
town, with the exception of about 4,600 acres in
the northeast part of Hudson which was then a
part of Londonderry. The geography of Dunstable
included land on both sides of the river, including
all or parts of some 14 towns in present day
Massachusetts and New Hampshire. In the early
days of Dunstable land had been granted on
the east side of the river, but no real settlements
occurred until about 1710. We remained a part of
Dunstable, Mass., until 1733.
As the number of settlers on this side of the river
increased they petitioned Massachusetts to be set
off as a separate town. This petition was answered
on Jan. 4, 1733, when the charter for Nottingham,
Mass., was granted This town included all
Dunstable lands on the east side of the river. The
General Court ordered that a Town Meeting be
held within three months and a minister be settled
within three years. After survey and much debate
the center of the town of Nottingham, Mass., was
agreed upon and a meeting house built on what
is now Musquash Road. The town of Nottingham,
Mass., remained as such for only nine years, until
1741.
The ancient boundary between the provinces
of New Hampshire and Massachusetts was based
upon the Merrimack River and the misconception
1933 historical bronze tablet depicts the towns five founding dates.
that the river flowed from west to east; with
no idea of the abrupt bend northward the river
made near Chelmsford, Mass. This resulted in
some dual grants by the rival provinces of NH
and Massachusetts and a boundary dispute that
was not settled until 1741. At that time the line
was established to run three miles north of the
Merrimack River from the ocean until reaching a
specific point north of Pawtucket Falls; after that
the line ran due west to the Connecticut River. All

land south of this line was in Massachusetts. Land
to the north was in Nottingham, N.H; called by
many historians as the District of Nottingham as
towns had not yet been incorporated under the
laws of the State of NH.
During the time after 1741 a number of smaller
New Hampshire towns were spun off from
Nottingham and were incorporated within NH.
One of these, Nottingham West, was incorporated

in 1746 and a charter issued July 5, 1746.
Nottingham West contained most of the lands
of the present town of Hudson, except for those
acres in Londonderry and minor adjustments to
the boundaries with Windham and Pelham.
We remained as Nottingham West until 1830.
At the annual town meeting of 1830 the voters of
Nottingham West adopted an article to petition
the General Court of NH to alter the name to
Auburn or to designate some other name. The
name was changed to Hudson July 1, 1830.
Our town has five founding dates or birthdays.
In 1672 we were established as Dunstable, Mass.;
1733 as Nottingham, Mass.; 1741 as Nottingham,
N.H.; 1740 as Nottingham West, N.H.; and
in 1830 as Hudson, N.H. This confuses our
celebrations! In 1933 we celebrated the 200th
birthday of incorporation of Nottingham, Mass;
in 1972, some 39 years later, we celebrated the
300 birthday of the founding of Dunstable! To
my knowledge there was never a centennial or
bi-centennial celebration for Nottingham West
and no centennial celebration for changing name
to Hudson in 1830. So, when will our next
celebration be? Perhaps in the year 2022, some
six years from now, when we celebrate the 250th
anniversary of Nottingham West?
This tablet is located within the School
Administration Building, aka Kimball Webster
School, and was donated to the Town by the
students of Webster School as part of our 1933
bi-centennial celebration. Photo taken for
publication of Town in Transition and is part of the
Historical Society Collection.
Imparting Some Grocery Store Etiquette

All About
ME
Most of us Im assuming have gone to the
grocery store at one point in our exciting lives
and have done shopping. I personally hate
grocery shopping. My parents force me to go
grocery shopping for the whole family every
week. Then they get upset when I dont get
the right brand or the right flavor. There are so
many different specific products on the list, how
am I supposed to get them all right? Then they
get even more upset when they see the Twinkies
or the six pack as those items were definitely
not on the list. I argue that its my reward for
having to go grocery shopping. If it werent for
me, braving the chaotic environment that the
grocery store provides, we would have no food.
The thing about grocery shopping is that
most people do it. Everybody needs food. So
when you go grocery shopping theres always
that heightened risk of encountering the
dreaded masses because the masses tend to
lack intelligence and common courtesy. I am
not currently an author of an etiquette book,
nor do I specialize in grocery store etiquette.

However, Im going to disperse my wisdom
on the general public and give them the gift of
common sense.
Operating a carriage is like driving a car.
Notice your surroundings and focus on whats
in front of you. I cant tell you how many times
I have gotten into a carriage accident. Parents,
there is no shame on keeping your kid on a
leash. I always have a fear of running over a
small child with a carriage. That is a bunch of
paperwork that neither I nor the grocery store
employees want to fill out.
At an intersection in the grocery store, signal
for the person in an aisle to be able to turn
either left or right onto the main road. A
signal might be a simple wave or a go ahead.
Remember defensive carriage driving is the way
to go.
Push the carriage on the same side as
most countries other than the U.K, Japan and
probably a few others I dont know about,
drive on. Just go with the flow of traffic. No
speeding and go faster than a turtle because,
although its not a race, people dont want to
spend a whole super fun day at a grocery store.
When stopping to look at or grab an item, pull
over. You dont park in the middle of the street
to go run in and check on your friends cats. If
you did you would get rear ended or endure
at least a few angry honks. So pull over. If
you see a carriage blocking an aisle with no

shopper in sight move it to the side and then
proceed down the aisle. Or if youre feeling
immature and evil, you can place the carriage
down a different aisle. Just kidding (not really)!
Im pretty sure eavesdropping is wrong, but
when there is a person on the phone loudly
going into juicy graphic details of their life,
people just cant help but listen. They will
listen and they will judge, and its nobody elses
fault but the person blabbing on their phone.
You never know who might hear your most
intimate life details at the grocery store. So
keep your most graphic details about your life
confided to the privacy of your own home, only
if you dont want other people to know. If you
dont care, then by all means spill because I
secretly and now openly love it.
Now we are almost at the end of our
fantastic grocery shopping experience and its
the dreaded checkout line. This is where the
tantrums happen. The lines are long and the
children are tired from grocery shopping. They
see the candy, and when the parent says no
their faces turn red and an ungodly noise erupts
from their mouths. Just ignore. The situation is
out of your control. Dont judge because Im
sure when you were that age you did the same
thing. When you have a child it will probably
happen to you. Get over it. Put your groceries
on the conveyor belt, pay and leave.
After youre done loading up the groceries

into the car, please put the carriage in its
designated spot. Dont be lazy. I promise it
is not that far of a walk. If the parking lot is
busy, it could block a valuable parking spot; if
its windy it could hit a car or an unsuspecting
small child. Then you would feel bad because
you were too lazy to move the carriage in
the right spot. Plus the employees have to go
around and collect them all, and I actually have
been to the grocery store where they had run
out of carriages and that just gets ugly.
Anyways, congratulations, your grocery
shopping experience is now over, and all you
have to do is drive home, unload the car, put
the groceries away and get back to your very
busy and important lives.
Here are some helpful grocery shopping tips:
If you want to avoid large crowds, dont go
on Sundays, because all the old people go after
church. Dont go before large snowstorms, just
starve. Dont go before holidays and on EBT
days.
If you dont agree with what Ive said then
youre probably one of those people who leaves
the carriage in the middle of the aisle and talks
loudly about the most intimate details of your
life so that everyone can hear.

Residents of Hudson, NH: I want to take this opportunity to thank
everyone who wrote me in for Budget Committee on the Hudson town
ballot. I never thought that with less than a week to campaign, Id get 215
write in votes. I will do my best to earn the faith that you put in me to serve
our town and never forget that I do not serve for my own agenda but to
represent you, the Hudson taxpayer.
Even more importantly, while the voter turnout was low this year again, it
was higher than last year - lets keep this trend moving in the right direction
and please come out each year and vote no matter what the issues are. Every
issue is important. Id love to see the day where the local election turnout
rivals the national and state level turnout. Great job, Hudson!
For all Hudson residents, if you have questions or concerns, please do not
hesitate to contact me at bobhearsyou@gmail.com and I will do my best to
address them.
The Fox scrambled to get the information about Superintendent

Lanes monetary package for resigning and moving on. The reason
it comes up again is that while the Right to Know law prevents the
information from being told, when the final June 30 paycheck for the
superintendent is issued that amount will be public knowledge and
The Fox will be there to give you the number.
Last week after the paper hit the mailboxes, the Fox learned that
Lane isnt the only leaving employee who got a large going away gift.
While the Fox will bark about it in upcoming weeks, everything that
is paid out becomes part of the school budget which can be found
on its website. Check page 19 in section 8. There is apparently no
right answer on how to keep teachers and staff employed by the
school district, pay more in the beginning and have better yearly
raises (Steps in the academic world) but never talk about merit.
Great teachers get no more annually than average teachers. The
Fox was once told that merit pay in the education world would
break down the collective working relationships necessary for the
betterment of the students; yes, this explanation came from a veteran
teacher.
The biggest question is who does the school board represent?
It seems there are three factors to consider, one, of course, is the
children, then there is the staff, and lastly is the shareholder. Yes,
that is the taxpayer. Should that be the order and how can we tell
how good the Hudson school system is? Recently, a close friend of
the Fox mentioned that their daughter, a former Hudson teacher, is
building a house in Londonderry. When the Fox put his foot in his
mouth and

Hudson Leadership Team Thanks You

On behalf of the Hudson Leadership team (Principals, Assistant
Principals, Counselors, Department Heads, Library/Media Specialists,
School Psychologists) we would like to send a big thank you to the voters of
Hudson for approving our contract. We appreciate the support you have
shown for us as we partner with you to provide a quality education to the
students of Hudson.

Treasurer and Karen OBrien, Secretary, Hudson
answer was a better school system. How did we get behind a lot of
the other towns, or do we live next to the best system in the state?
The Fox also ran to the other side of the road this week. You
know the white office building versus the old red school house,
wondering why there was no Easter Bunny Breakfast this year. The
answer heard so far seems to do with a scheduling conflict of the
community center, but a full paws up to the Junior Womens Club for
joining forces with the library to have a Bunny Blast, which, by all
reports, was a great event.
While it might seem that the Fox only looks for trouble, that is not
true, but the trouble is that is what most people talk to the Fox about.
There will be a polynomial event on April 21 at Alvirne High School
- something very special for our students and staff at the school,
planning is under way, and, without rolling over and kicking his feet
in the air, this is one of those events that comes out of near tragedy
to be amazing. Cant tell any more about it until next week, but
watch for the Fox to howl as this is going to be great.
Congratulations to the two new chair folks - for the town, Ted
Luszey and the school board, Patty Langlais, both who grabbed the
reigns this week, with both boards looking to work together to save
the taxpayers some coin with economies of efficiency.
As Easter is Sunday and the true meaning of the day is especially
important, let us all be thankful that we are safe in our hamlet of
Hudson and that we pray for those who were hurt and killed as
terrorism washes across our world.
The Fox also hopes that the only chicks in your home are colorful
Peeps.

If everywhere in Hudson-ville, every person who saw such litter and wrote
about it as Don has done, then think about the impact such a community
effort would have on the community of Hudson-ville. Im not beating my
own drum, as almost deaf I wouldnt even hear it, but just as I sounded the
alarm about the extreme amount of litter and debris on Greely Street some
years ago; it is the responsibility of all of us to speak out/speak up. Its most
often at this time of the year when the snows melt away, that we find what
people throw away, shame on them; but it truly does blow away from trash
containers/dumpsters and trash collection trucks too. So fill the pages of the
HLN weekly with rants about trash and litter that makes us so bitter. Then
well see apathy give way to sympathy in all things Hudson.

A regulated drip oiler used on most older manufacturing

Our readers are correct. The item in question is known as a
sight feed oiler. Oil is forced out of the reservoir through the
sight glass by an upper plunger and then forced on through
the check valves and into the cylinder. Various industries
are served by this particular part, including construction,
agriculture, forestry, automation, robotics and mining.

Why Cant We See Past the Words Tax Collector?

The voters choose not to give one of the hardest-working town
employees a raise.
First, lets say that this editorial was not asked for by Patty Barry
or any member of the town staff, but by
people wherever I go - the health club,
the grocery store or a Chamber event
at Enterprise Bank. We start talking
about the elections, and they always
ask what did not pass and, of course,
my answer is the Lowell Road Fire
Station and a raise for the town clerk/
tax collector. Those who know Patty
Barry want to know why, which I say I dont know. We always
come down to the words Tax Collector. Even speaking with a
town public servant, a member of one of the unions mentioned that
when their union contacts are promoted to the people of Hudson
that the title Tax Assessor is somehow left out of the list of affected
people. Even if we hate taxes, they are what keep our government
running, provide for the quality of life we enjoy, and keep us safe
in our homes, street and neighborhoods.
But that is not the point I want to make. We have an outstanding
town employee. Yes, it is an elected position, but the only one of
everyone elected that gets elected to a full-time job. History shows
that Barry took the job in July 10, 2007. Her salary was $52,403,
its where it stayed until 2015 when it went up 2.75 percent to
$53,844 and then in FY 2016 it is $54,921 another 2 percent. As
you know the voters cant be wrong, as they are the stakeholders of
our town. Barry runs a department in town hall that has seen many
changes over her tenure.
Just some more facts before I get to the close, and, hopefully, all
of you who voted no cant sleep tonight as it was only a difference
of 123 votes. Maybe that is too tough, but how about a promise to
vote differently next year?
In your dealings with the Town Clerk/Tax Collector office have
you seen the following?
Improving customer service;
Offering extended hours on Thursdays evenings;
Expanding motor vehicle services to include boat
registrations;
Offering in office payments by credit card; and
Offering online payment service.
Editorial
As everyone knows change is hard in Hudson, and then add to

that many things in that office being dictated by state statutes. Do
have a job where there is a book of rules?
But let me continue to preach to
you. Patty never asked for a raise, the
town administrator felt that a raise was
in order and put in a 2 percent raise.
When the selectmen reviewed and
asked what other towns were paying,
they moved for the $6,035, which
made the salary $60,000 for the year.
Just for the record, in Litchfield the pay
range is from $63,731 to $80,620 in a community of 8,271, and
to our south in Pelham, it is a minimum salary of $66,248, while
Londonderry tops the scale at $75,640.
In Hudson, the clerks office collects 95 percent of the
revenues for this town and is responsible for accurately receiving
and accounting for those funds. With an overall budget of
approximately $52 million, thats an awesome responsibility to
place on an elected official!
I am getting closer to being done, but last week when Barry was
swearing me in as your Trustee of the Trust Funds, as usual I was
talking and asked my starting question to Patty, did you not get
a raise as your job title is Tax Collector? I can only relay what
I was told; I hope I have it right. She stated, I am proud to say
that I have accomplished all the goals that I spoke of during my
campaign back in 2007, and I have done this without ever asking
for an increase in my departments operating budget. But I am
most proud of my staff. We have gone to great lengths to improve
the overall atmosphere of this office; to make it a much more
friendly and welcoming office.
I can only end with what Patty told me on Friday, Whether I got
the raise or not, I am fortunate to be able to say that I love my job.
From where I stand it must be about the title of Tax Collector,
as I can see no reason why Barry doesnt deserve that raise that the
voters said no to.
A New Face at Hudson Board of Selectmen

by Len Lathrop
After 12 years of seeing Rick Maddoxs face in one of the five
chairs around the room, Tuesday night was different, or was it?
Angela Saucier, the newest of Hudson selectman, was seated at
the left where Selectman Roger Coutu had sat for the last year; and
previously, former selectman Ben Nadeau, now a school board
member; and when the late Ann Seabury wasnt the chair person,
that was her seat.
As the last agenda item was the election of a new chairman,
congratulations to Ted Luszey who was elected chair on a first
motion and Selectman Marilyn McGrath who became the vice
chair after there were two nominations for her and Selectman
Coutu. Coutu quickly and eloquently bowed out recommending
the position go to McGrath.
Prior to the election of officers, Vice-Chairman Coutu ran the
meeting, the board accepted Patricia Dubays resignation from
the conservation committee, and under consent items, Selectman
McGrath questioned if the Granite State Salvage Company on
Dracut Road, who was among the item for consent for a renewal
of their license to purchase scrap metals, had a site plan. After
determining that the license was good until the middle of April, the
decision was moved to the next meeting.

On the calendar, Selectman Nichols asked that the date for the
senior affairs committee be changed as the committee has decided
to meet every three months. This request by Nichols led Luszey
to ask if the committee is viable with all the changes to senior
services and the senior center being completed and so functional.
The new business section of the meeting moved quickly.
Hudson Road Agent Kevin Burns reported that he had an
unanticipated replacement need. A 2002 pickup needs $11,000 to
stay working; it can be replaced for $26,000 from the state bid list,
and he has a surplus in his budget due to the winter weather this
year. Selectmen approved the purchase, and Coutu even thanked
the road agent for getting ever dollar out of a vehicle
The Hudson Police Department was approved to accept two
grants from the NH Highway Safety Agency, one for standard traffic
enforcement patrols and the other for DWI patrols that totaled over
$22,000.
Selectmen voted to sell 17 Merrimack St., a town-owned
property, for $79,900 and to market it with 19 Merrimack St.,
which is already being marketed.
Selectmen went into non-public session shortly before 9 p.m.
Langlais Elected Chairman of Hudson School Board

by Len Lathrop
The first order of business was to elect a new chairman for
the upcoming year. Once Superintendent Bryan Lane asked for
nominations, Patty Langlais, who was re-elected in the March
8th voting, was the only name offered; a quick vote was 4-0-1.
Langlais took the gavel and asked for a vice-chair nomination.
Stacy Milbouer and Lee Lavoies names were placed in contention,
however, only Milbouer had received a second, and the vote was
again 4-0-1.
The school board members governing the schools are Chairman
Patty Langlais whose term ends in 2019; Vice Chairman Stacy
Milbouer, her term is up next year 2017; Ben Nadeau who will
serve until 2018; and Lee Lavoie who was elected with Langlais
this year. Lavoie has served on the board in the past and was
chairman; he will serve again until 2019.
Committee responsibilities were the next order of business.
While the chair asked that people email her, a discussion broke
out. With a board where everyone has served at least a year,
members seemed to indicate that only slight changes were
needed. The one assignment that no one was comfortable taking
was the budget. Both Nadeau and Lavoie wanted facilities, but
with Nadeau being the CTE renovation liaison, Lavoie will handle
facilities. Chairman Langlais will have a complete list for the next
meeting.
Under presentation to the board were two instructional changes
that the administrative staff wanted the school board to know
about and authorize a further proposal for their review and
approval. First related to a K-12 STEM director position, which

is an expansion of the current successful K-8 coordinator, works
with grades K-8. This person work to be sure that we have a
vertical integration of the science, technology, engineering and
math subjects from one grade to the next. The current position is
a stipend paid to a department head; the directors slot would be a
Step 1 of Category 4 as part of the AFSCME bargaining unit at an
annual rate of $79,395 annually.
In another discussion to see if the staff should process with the
support of the board were the Strategies for Success at Alvirne
High School in which students experiencing difficulty with
school life can get extra support to remain in regular classes. The
proposal asking for a second teacher was made by Principal Steve
Beals, Dean of Academics Susan Bureau, and Strategies teacher
Rocio Camacho. Currently one teacher is supporting 54 freshmen
at AHS. Two board members, Megan Pollack and Stacy Milbouer,
expressed that this concept and approach is very important to
assist any student who needs a little help. The Alvirne leaders will
be returning to the school board with more information and to
seek their approval to proceed.
Superintendent Lane shared that Alvirne High School is fully
accredited by the New England Association of Schools and
Colleges, Inc. Commission on Public Schools after a visit in
November of 2013 until the next visit in 2023. Lane mentioned
that the completion of the new elevator resolved the last
outstanding issue, and he offered congratulation to Principal Beals
and his staff.

Piece of the Pie
The Tax Return- AGI - A Very Important Number

W.F.Boutin EA - Total Tax Solutions LLC
The income on the tax return of which the majority is

usually wages, minus certain deductions determine the Adjusted
Gross Income (AGI). The AGI is an all important number because it
is the determining factor on whether a deduction or tax credit is
reduced or completely phased out for the taxpayer.
For instance Deductible contributions to Traditional IRA's,
the Student Loan Interest Deduction, the Tuition and Fees Deduction, Itemized Deductions and Personal Exemptions are all reduced
or in some cases phased out completely by the AGI calculated on
the return. The Child Tax Credit, Earned Income Credit, Adoption
Credit and Retirement Savings Credit are all reduced or phased out
by the AGI on the return. The Dependent Care Credit, even though
it is never completely phased out, is reduced from 35% to 20% of
expenses incurred based upon the AGI.
Understanding this interaction on the income tax return,
and how certain transactions increases the income which can affect
multiple areas of the finished return is of great importance. Of
course further down the road, after standard/itemized deductions
and personal exemptions, we arrive at the taxable income on the
return which jumps into higher tax brackets as this income
increases.
So one of the main goals for many taxpayers should be
that if they have to spend money for certain services, can these
expenses be paid with pre-tax money, therefore lowering the
income on the tax return?
Many employers offer a fringe benefit package with allows
taxpayers to set aside income on a pre-tax basis to pay for items
such as out of pocket expenses for medical bills and daycare
expenses. These type of benefits not only lower the wages for
Federal and State income taxes on the tax return but also lower the
wages subject to Social Security and Medicare Taxes. Medical
insurance purchased through an employer is also pre-taxed for all
four types of taxable wages. 401K contributions help to lower
wages subject to federal and state taxes only, however help the
bottom line for AGI and taxable income.
Taxpayers who have high deductibles on their health
insurance plans may qualify for a deduction by making contributions to a Health Savings Account. These types of contributions are
made with after tax money however, the deduction is taken on the
income tax return lowering the AGI and taxable income on the
return. Contributions to a deductible IRA work in the same manner.
An Example: John and Mary both work and have one
child in daycare. Their taxable income on their tax return is $10,000
into the 25% tax bracket. John has the ability through his employer
to set aside a maximum of $5000 for daycare expenses on a pre-tax
basis, but has never taken advantage of this benefit because he gets
a tax credit for the money spent on his tax return. The credit through
the tax return is limited to $3000 worth of expenses for 1 child.
John and Mary get a tax credit of $600. Had they opted for the
benefit through the employer, they would lose the $600 credit but
would have saved $1250 in federal taxes (25% bracket), $250 in
state taxes(5%) and $382.50 (7.65%) in Medicare and SS taxes. That
is a savings of $1882.50 vs. $600. (Note: the maximum pre-tax
amount is $5000 per family not per child. Unlike trying to claim the
credit on the return where the expenses are limited to $3000 per
child for the credit, tax law allows the full $5000 against expenses
as a fringe benefit even if only for 1 child.)
John and Mary's AGI on the return was $113,000. Unfortunately,
the child tax credit starts to phase out at $110,000.
Therefore their Child Tax Credit was reduced by $150. Had they
contributed to the fringe benefit for child care expenses, their AGI
would have been $108,000 therefore they would have gained an
additional refund of $150.

submitted by Shane Coughlin

In the spirit of March being National Foreign Language
month, Alvirne High School will celebrate by designating
March 28 to April 1 as Foreign Language Week. Students in
foreign language classes will be creating posters representing
many languages and flags used around the world. Introductions
to the morning announcements will feature Alvirne High
School staff speaking in different languages each day. Students
taking Spanish or French at Alvirne will be asked to research
careers and discover how knowing a foreign language can
be helpful and sometimes even considered necessary. Those
taking foreign language classes will have the opportunity to
learn dances from other cultures, including the bachata and
the merengue. Checkers, Alvirnes restaurant, will offer foreign
foods to celebrate this week. To wrap up the week, classes will
have students make dishes from other cultures for the entire

Barclay, D.C.
PROFESSIONAL QUALIFICATIONS

of highly specialized college training?
Todays Doctor of Chiropractic must complete 4,485 hours of classroom instruction and
pass a rigid chiropractic board examination before earning a license. In most states,
continuing educational seminars must be completed for annual license renewal.
PERSONAL BACKGROUND
I am a graduate of Bishop Guertin High School and have graduated with a Bachelor of
Science degree and a Doctorate of Chiropractic degree from Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa. Palmer College is widely considered the most prestigious
chiropractic college in the world. While at Palmer, I held several positions of leadership. In addition, I have done extensive post-graduate studies in the diagnosis and
treatment of back problems, whiplash, headaches, sports injuries, nutrition, physiotherapy and rehabilitation.
Additionally, I devote three days every six weeks attending a nationwide seminar in
chiropractic training to stay current on the latest advances in my profession.
This is the kind of training and professionalism I offer you. If you have hesitated visiting
a chiropractor, perhaps you didnt know that chiropractors go to such great lengths to
provide you with the latest techniques and the most qualified service. Call me today
and let me help you.
Did you know that the symptoms most commonly

treated by chiropractors are:
Back Pain
Headaches
Neck Pain

the sources of pain and discomfort at our state-ofthe-art facilities in Hudson

One of the things I find myself doing often
is going back to the beginning, explained Dr
Barclay. Sometimes I take for granted all the things
chiropractic can help with, and we need to be
continually telling people all the different advantages
of chiropractic care can offer them. When I hear
someone say I didnt know that chiropractic can
help people with headaches,- thats what I mean
when I say I have to go back.
Often patients will come to a chiropractor
because of pain. Some of the things chiropractic
helps with - pain in neck and back, sciatica, tingling
and numbness in arms and legs, headaches, sleeping
interruptions, and more.
New patients come in for pain relief, often dealing
with chronic issues for many months. They are
scared to go to a general practitioner, and many fear
medication or surgery, or are looking for a natural
way to ease pain.
We try to show patients how periodical care
for total body health is better than just pain
management, and chiropractic care helps in many
areas with quality of life, said Dr Barclay.
You dont wait until youre 300 pounds to go to
the gym and start working out, so dont wait until
the pain is so bad that you cant function to call a
chiropractor for help.
Education is a big factor, as it seems throughout
the health care industry right now. Internally the
spine and how it affects all your body, its not as well
understood. The entire nerve system passes through
the spine.
One of the issues chiropractors face is that people
have told them that they dont like the cracking noise
your back or spine
makes.
People are often
fearful, explained
Barclay. I try and
reassure them they
really have nothing
to worry about.
Most of the
employees at
Barclay Chiropractic
live and work in the
community, and are
often friends with
the patients they
see in and around
town. Our staff
genuinely wants
to help people live
free from pain,
continues Barclay. So the quality of the care we
provide matters- its personal.
People have had bad reactions or experiences
at medical facilities and at chiropractors, we
understand that, said Barclay. I am not anti
medical- if I break my leg, Im off to the hospital,
but there are many things that can be helped with
chiropractic, and we try and educate patients on
ways we can help the body heal itself.
There is a shift at American Medical Academy
level, where the AMA now recommends chiropractic
care first before surgery for low back-related issues.
Thats a huge shift. People are seeing what the body
can do, so we will often co-manage care for people
to get patients healed.
One of the issues we face is that some people
dont like the cracking of the neck or spine, and
have heard that you need that for a chiropractic
adjustment.
Part of the adjusting procedures offered at Barclay

Chiropractic is the Toggle Recoil method to address
one of the most critical nerve centers in the bodythe brain stem and the spinal bone that surrounds
it, the atlas. This is where regulation of heart rate,
breathing, sleeping, and eating occur. A part of
the brain stem, the medulla oblongata, controls
moods and emotions, blood pressure, and digestion
functions. All these functions can be diminished
with the presence of an atlas misalignment.
Barclay can make adjustments without tilting or
turning the head, snapping or cracking the spine.
The Toggle adjusting motion or actual part of the
chiropractors table moves in a manner that affects
the spine and affected areas.
Post adjustment checks help us to know when the
adjustments are made and the body is working the
way its designed to, explained Barclay.
When a nerve center is affected, symptoms in the
human body dont happen immediately, like a light
switch turning on a light, but its more like a dimmer
switch effect- over time, the symptoms slowly
increase as the misalignment issue remains intact.
If you have a misalignment in the spine or neck
area, your body will compensate, and you may need
adjusting in other parts of your spine. Your body
instinctively wants your eyes to be in line with the
horizon, so if your neck is off, the spine compensates
farther down so your eyes are brought into that
alignment.
These are the types of things an adjustment will
help resolve, aligning the spine, so there is no
pinching of the nerves that flow through the spine.
Depending on how long the misalignment has
been present, some people respond immediately,
and for others, the response is much more gradual.
We love to help patients with sports injuries anyone whos played contact sports needs to be
seeing a chiropractor, said Barclay.
You cant miss their gorgeous office on the
corner of Dracut and River Roads in Hudson. We
designed and built the office as a log home because
we wished to get away from the traditional and
sterile environment of a hospital. Our patients who
visit find these surroundings warm and welcoming,
states Dr Barclay.
We invite new patients to schedule a
comprehensive consultation with Barclay
Chiropractic - Warren R. Barclay, DC or Ryan J
Barclay, DC by calling (603) 886-1133. If your
pain is severe we will do our best to expedite your
appointment.
From 2 weeks old to 102, it would be our
pleasure to serve you.

Americas Pets Provides a Personal Approach

Lill and Kristi, a mother-daughter team, have owned and
operated Americas Pets for the past 14 years. Located in the
Nottingham Square Plaza, the local pet supply store carries
holistic, all- natural food and treats for a variety of pets including
dogs, cats, birds, bunnies and more. Their food selection consist
of foods with many unique formulas which provide customers
a variety of all-natural diets that help with allergy and digestive
problems their pets may have. We dont just sell pet food to
make sales, we work with customers on a one-on-one basis to
improve the well being of their furry family member, said Lill.
The employees are very knowledgeable of different foods and
supplements to help with a pets allergy and digestive needs. They
carry many natural supplements that complement the diets they
recommend. The staff is available for one-on-one consultations
to educate people about the specific products that meet their pets
needs, from supplements that make a home-cooked diet complete
to feeding a raw diet. We know our foods. If theres questions
about a product that we are not familiar with, we will do research
and convey our findings and recommendations to our customer,
mentioned Kristi. The overall health of your pet is a direct

correlation to the quality of the food that they are fed.
Americas Pets also offers a full-service grooming department
with a groomer who has over 20 years of experience. They
use all natural shampoos in a quiet low-key environment. All
grooming is by appointment only, so the dog is in house for

less stressful for the dog. This practice falls within the holistic
philosophy that Americas Pets stands by.
Americas Pets has two customer appreciation events each year.
Many manufacturer representatives are on hand at each event

Norwex: Cleaning Without Chemicals
Detox your home by

mechanically REMOVING contaminents
from the surface rather than relying
on toxic chemical cleaners!
My name is Linda Jacques, Norwex

Independent Sales Consultant. One year ago,
I discovered the most incredible eco-friendly
company. While attending a party, my friend
talked to me about this safe, natural cleaning
product line. Ive had my own cleaning
business for over 20 years and knew how
important chemical free cleaning was to my
clients, especially those with allergies. It felt
right. I knew I wanted to share the mission of
easy, safe and cost effective cleaning.
As a mother of three beautiful young adults,
I was wearing many hats. But I was determined
to spread the word and share how these
products could improve the quality of life for
my family and my clients. Family, pets, cars,
skin care, you name it, they have it.
Norwex products filled up my home and my
life.
Our Global Challenge
We realized early on that household
pollutants negatively impact our health and our
environment. Most of the chemicals in products
in our homes have never been assessed for
their impact on human health. Indoor air
pollution is one of the top five highest ranking
environmental health problems in America
with chemical levels up to 70 times higher
than outside. Research and information on the
health effects of manufactured chemicals has
not kept pace with their development and use.
In the last 50 years, the global production
and use of manufactured chemicals has
increased substantially. More than 80,000 new
chemicals have been created.
Indoor air pollution is one of the top five
highest-ranking environmental health problems
in America.
Evidence shows homes have chemical
levels up to 70 times higher than outside.
Most of the chemicals that people are
exposed to every day have never been assessed
for their impact on human health.
Parabens utilized in personal care for
decades have been shown to have potential
harmful effects.

have on humans is extensive. Most concerning

are the growing links to chemicals that
surround us in everyday life. They are linked to
serious diseases such as birth defects, cancer
and psychological abnormalities. Many today
believe the extensive use of chemicals indoors
contributes to many of our modern diseases
such as allergies and asthma.
Our Mission at Norwex is to improve quality
of life by radically reducing chemicals in our
homes. In addition, the Norwex products make
cleaning faster and more cost effective than
traditional cleaning products.

products you can realize up to a 90% savings!

charity bringing the grand total to over $20,000 raised
in just three years. Kevin Riley led team HPD with over
$1,600 collected, by himself (in three years Kevin has
raised close to $4,000 alone).
Thank you very much to the following officers who took
the dip on March 19: Sgt. Mike Niven, Det. Kevin Riley,
MPO Roger Lamarche, MPO Jason Downey, MPO Derek
Lloyd, MPO Adam Lischinsky, MPO Brian Morgan, Det.
Allison Cummings, and Det. Alan Marcotte.
Total collected that day from the law enforcement
community and other supporters of Special Olympics was
more than $83,000.

Helping High School Dropouts

by Lynne Ober
The New Hampshire Department of Education has a robust
adult education program that is aimed at grants to school districts
and private not-for-profit organizations for the purposes of offering
educational services to adults who have not received a high
school diploma or high school equivalency certificate, or who
need to improve basic skills in reading, math, writing, and English
language learning. These programs are helping adults earn high
school diplomas or high school equivalency certificates; prepare for
postsecondary education; learn English; or prepare for a job.
The program has a budget of seven and three quarters million
dollars, which is comprised of federal, state and local funds. The
average cost per student was $1,166.62. When you wonder why
that was so low, remember this is for education only no sports and
no afterschool activities of any kind.
Students provide their own transportation to and from classes as
well.
To date 1,242 students
have received a high school
equivalency certificate or a
high school diploma, and more than 6,600 students have enrolled
in programming. There are currently 2,381 students enrolled in
programs that teach them English as well.
This offers students who failed to complete high school a
successful way to continue classes at night or on weekends while
still working. Locally, Hudson,
Londonderry, Derry, Nashua,
Salem and Manchester all offer
programs. A student does not
have to reside in the town where
the program is offered. If you
know someone who needs a
high school diploma, more
information about programming
can be found at http://education.
nh.gov/career/adult.

Driving today is different than it might have been when many motorists first earned
their drivers licenses. As a result, safe driving techniques have changed. Learning
these changes and adjusting driving habits can keep motorists and their passengers
safe.
Watch the clock. Older guidelines indicated keeping hands on the steering wheel
at the positions of 10 and 2 if you were imagining it as a clock. New information
indicates this can be dangerous to the arms and hands should the air bag deploy
in a crash. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and AAA now say
you should grip the wheel at the 9 and 3 positions, which safely allows drivers to
maintain control of their vehicles.
Change your turns. Air bag safety also comes into play when making turns. Rather
than the formerly taught way of hand-over-hand turning, drivers should push with
one hand and pull with the other to steer the wheel - safely keeping their hands
away from the plastic casing and the possible release of heat and pressure from an
exploding air bag.
Use hazard lights only when real hazards are
encountered. Some people are very generous in
their use of hazard lights, turning them on when
double-parking, in bad weather or when they are
carrying a heavy load. Various states and areas
have specific laws governing the use of hazard
lights, including when and when not to use them.
Hazard lights may inadvertently put drivers in
danger because they can override turning signals.
Some other drivers have become so accustomed
to seeing hazard lights that they may not take
them seriously. Esurance suggests checking local
laws to determine which situations warrant using
hazard lights. Anticipate road conditions. There
are differences between driving on rural roads,
paved roads
and heavily
trafficked
highways,
especially
during
inclement
weather
or when
encountering
adverse
conditions.
time. Drivers
need to learn
to adapt to
the conditions
to facilitate
safe passage.
It can be

to stop on

PMA Cheer Coaches, also Alumni, Heading to College
submitted by Presentation

Its a bittersweet ending
to cheer season for the
Presentation of Mary

cheerleaders. Coaches
Emma Stalker and Samantha
Thompson are graduating
from Bishop Guertin this June
and heading off to college.
Both girls are alumni of
PMA and have been coaching
for the past six years. They
recalled how it all started.
We were in seventh grade
and there was not a cheer
program at PMA. We
approached Principal Sister
Maria and asked if we could
start a Mites cheer team for
grades three through six.
Sister agreed to let us coach
as long as we found an adult
to supervise us. In stepped

Thompson. Chris started
out as the Team Mom and
eventually head coach in
2012. The girls were so

cheer program that I couldnt
They finished their winning season as repeat state

champions for 2016. What an exciting way to finish
their season as well as Samantha and Emmas final
day of coaching.
The most rewarding part of coaching is watching
the girls work hard and perform their best. There is
always an amazing transition from the first practice
until the final competition. The team also has lots
of brain power. Thirteen of the 15 girls are honor
roll students just like their coaches.
Sister Maria Rosa gets teary eyed when speaking
about the girls. Both girls are very proud moments
for me. I have watched them be strong, intelligent
leaders and their values are always in place. I never
worried about the program. They took it and ran.
Samantha and Emma are also Bishop Guertin
cheerleaders and have been cheering together for
nine years in addition to coaching. They are sad
that their coaching careers at PMA are finished but
are looking forward to what lies ahead. Both girls
are heading to college and promise to come back
and visit.

Litchfield Woman Runs for Cancer Research
Hudson Memorial School
Wed 6:30-8:30pm
Participating in the Boston Marathon

to support Dana-Farber Cancer Institute
submitted by Shea Gribbons, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute
On April 18, Mary Prindle from Litchfield will run to conquer
cancer as a member of the Dana-Farber Marathon Challenge team
in the 120th Boston Marathon.
Prindle, along with more than 550 Dana-Farber Marathon
Challenge teammates from across the United States and around
the world, will run Massachusetts historic marathon route from
Hopkinton to Boston with a goal to raise $5.4 million for cancer
research at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.
This year marks the 27th annual running of the Dana-Farber
Marathon Challenge. One hundred percent of the money raised
by the Dana-Farber Marathon Challenge team funds Dana-Farbers
Claudia Adams Barr Program in Innovative Basic Cancer Research.
The Barr Program supports uniquely promising science research in
its earliest stages, providing researchers with critical resources to
test their leading-edge ideas. Findings from Barr Program research
can provide the results necessary to seek additional federal
funding as well as novel clinical insights.
Since its inception in 1990, the Dana-Farber Marathon
Challenge has raised nearly $75 million for the Barr Program.
Dana-Farber Trustees J. Wayne and Delores Barr Weaver founded
the Barr Program in 1987 to honor Mrs. Weavers mother, Claudia
Adams Barr, who lost her battle with cancer 30 years earlier.
In 1990, Dana-Farber was among the first charity organizations
to be recognized by the Boston Athletic Association (B.A.A), which
organizes the Boston Marathon. The Dana-Farber Marathon
Challenge team offers its members extensive fundraising support,
training guidance from 1976 Boston Marathon mens champion
Jack Fultz, and team training runs, plus volunteer opportunities for
non-runners. Dana-Farber Marathon Challenge runners who are
not time-qualified for the Boston Marathon receive an invitational
entry into the race. Dana-Farber Marathon Challenge runners
include cancer survivors and patients, and family and friends of
those who have been affected by cancer. Runners of all abilities
Weapons classes & tai chi included

Low monthly rates Family discounts No contracts
participate with the goal to help put an end to cancer.

Each Dana-Farber Marathon Challenge team member must fulfill a
basic fundraising commitment:
Invitational runners, runners who receive their entry from
Dana-Farber, have a fundraising commitment of $5,000.
Own entry runners, runners who have joined
the DFMC after obtaining their own race entry,
have a fundraising commitment of $4,000.
A cornerstone of the Dana-Farber Marathon
Challenge is its Partner Program. Each year,
approximately 50 current and former pediatric
cancer patients of Dana-Farbers Jimmy Fund Clinic
are paired with DFMC runners as Patient Partners.
For the young patients, their partnerships with
Dana-Farber Marathon Challenge runners provide
a unique and friendly focus outside their illnesses.
Another two dozen Partner Program families are
paired with runners through the In-Memory
Program in remembrance of their childrens brave
struggle with the disease. All of the children and
families in the Partner Program serve as special
motivation for the entire DFMC team.
The Dana-Farber Marathon Challenge is
one of multiple ways runners can support the
lifesaving mission of Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.
Participants can run on the Dana-Farber team in the
Boston Marathon, the B.A.A. 5K, the Falmouth Road
Race, and the B.A.A Half Marathon, or run in any
race, of any distance, in any city, while raising funds
for Dana-Farber and the Jimmy Fund. For more
information visit RunDanaFarber.org.

Hi, Im Amy. Im a gorgeous 2

year old kitty who is ready to
settle into my new home. I lived in
a very quiet environment for my
entire life, so Im a bit
overwhelmed by all of the activity
here. Ive started to come out of
my shell though, and with a little
time in the right home I will show
you what a sweet, playful girl I
am. I absolutely love being
brushed and will give you purrs of
happiness to display my
enjoyment. With a little love and
patience you will see my goofy
side as I play with my favorite
ribbon toys. Even though Ive lived
alone my entire life, Im young
enough that I might possibly
enjoy the companionship of
another cat so we could keep each
other company. Will you give me a

How to Determine if Downsizing is for You
often find that their homes are still filled with their childrens
possessions, even long after those children have entered adulthood
and left home. If the storage in your home is dominated by items
that belong to your children and not you, then downsizing might
be right for you. Tell your children you are thinking of downsizing
and invite them over to pick through any items still in your home.
Once they have done so and taken what they want, you can host a
yard sale, ultimately donating or discarding what you cannot sell.
Once all of the items are gone, you may realize that moving into a
smaller place is the financially prudent decision.
Examine your own items as well. Your childrens items are likely
not the only items taking up space in your home. Take inventory of
your own possessions as well, making note of items you can live
without and those you want to keep. If the list of items you can
live without is extensive, then you probably wont have a problem
moving into a smaller home. If you arent quite ready to say
goodbye to many of your possessions, then you might benefit from
staying put for a little while longer.
Consider your retirement lifestyle. If you have already retired or
on the verge of retirement and plan to spend lots of time traveling,
then downsizing to a smaller home may free up money you can
spend on trips. And if you really do see yourself as a silver-haired
jetsetter, then you likely wont miss your current home because
you wont be home frequently enough to enjoy it. If travel is not
high on your retirement to-do list
but you have a hobby, such as

As men and women retire or approach retirement age, many opt

to downsize their homes. Such a decision can save older adults
substantial amounts of money while also liberating them from the
hassle of maintaining large homes they no longer need.
Downsizing to smaller homes or apartments is a significant step,
one that homeowners should give ample consideration before
making their final decisions. The following are a handful of tips to
help homeowners determine if downsizing is the right move.
Get a grip on the real estate market. Downsizing is not solely
about money, but its important that homeowners consider the real
estate market before putting their homes up for sale. Speak with
a local realtor or your financial advisor about the current state of
your real estate market. Downsizing can help homeowners save
money on utilities, taxes and mortgage payments, but those savings
may be negated if you sell
your house in a buyers market
instead of a sellers market. If
you think the current market
wont get you the price you
are hoping for, delay your
downsize until the market
rebounds.
