Highway Department Needs Interns to Offset Benson’s Workload


by Doug Robinson The Hudson Highway Department has received


approval from the Hudson Board of Selectmen to hire two seasonal “interns” to assist the laborers who mow grass, take care of the cemeteries, and other ground maintenance-related summer jobs required of the Highway Department. During the Board of Selectmen’s meeting, the Hudson Town Administrator referred to these interns as “seasonal labor.” According to Road Agent


Kevin Burns, the addition of Benson’s to their responsibilities has stretched the Highway Department’s ability to keep up with all the Town’s summer groundskeeping needs. The Hudson Highway Budget (page 283 of the Town Budget) has listed for “grounds and maintenance” a budgeted amount of $0.00 (acct. 5566) for salary and benefits to take care of Hudson’s grounds and maintenance.


In looking at the 2012 budget for Benson’s, salaries have not been identified as requested by the Road Agent for the two interns. Under both Benson Park Committee and Benson Park Operations, labor for the park is not identified as a line item.


In addition, the expense listed as Benson Park Operations, Park Maintenance is budgeted for $19,250. The maintenance budgeted refers to “gravel, RAP, asphalt, wire, pipes, and conduit.” The salary and benefits for this maintenance category is listed at $0.00. In checking the Highway salary budget, the term “seasonal” and “intern” are not found. Salaries are listed as administrative, full-time, part- time, overtime, FICA, retirement, flex benefits, and insurance benefits.


When detailing further,


Highway salaries are defined as “streets full-time” and “streets salaries seasonal.” The Highway Department has budgeted


$12,480 as Seasonal Street Salaries. “Salaries Seasonal” has a definition of “part-time summer help.” While the budgeted amount is $12,481, total wages with healthcare is $13,435.

Canoeing is a great family activity, and


our rivers and streams provide a variety of opportunities for fun and enjoyment ranging from slow, idyllic stretches to adrenaline-charged, swift water. Regardless of the paddling activity chosen, the following tips should always be taken into consideration for a safe, enjoyable trip: • Always wear a personal flotation device. Even if just going a short distance, traveling in cold or swift-moving waters can be dangerous.


• Dress to prevent hypothermia. Regardless of the environment, cold water can kill. Hypothermia is the rapid loss of the body’s core temperature. In cold water, body heat is lost 25 times faster than in air of the same temperature. Dress in layers of clothing that will trap body heat, even when wet. Polypropylene or wool are good materials for such conditions. Avoid 100-percent cotton fabrics.


Charlie with Canoeing Tips Chalk


• Always stay within the limit of the boat’s maximum carrying capacity. The boat’s capacity plate gives the maximum number of persons and the maximum weight of the equipment and gear on board that the boat can safely accommodate. Overloading is a leading cause of capsizes of small boats.


• Know your abilities. Do not attempt to navigate a swift-moving river or stream if you have not had previous training. Fast water is extremely powerful: what looks like a fun ride could be deadly. Always paddle with more than one experienced boater in your group so that if trouble occurs, help is nearby.


• Watch for river hazards. Be alert for river characteristics that could cause harm to your boat or persons on board. Strainers, such as fallen tree limbs, which “strain” the water through while pinning solid objects, are all hazards that should be avoided.
