“Thumbs up to


Jason Guerette for exposing the over $200,000 that was illegally put into the default budget!”


“Thumbs down.


While watching the BOS meeting I was surprised to hear that Hudson has p--- problem at the park and that animal control is spending so much time at the park and no reports were made about the street patrols. What is up with that? Are we obsessed with the park at the expense of animals running free all over town and to those that pick up behind their pets I say thank you for your care and consideration. It is those who are lazy to clean up that make the rest look bad.”


“Thumbs up to the entertainment being


provided by the bored housewife spending her husband’s recent settlement. What you don’t seem to realize is that it’s for lost future wages that he may have made. Try to plan ahead for your bills rather than living for the moment or you may just end up needing to get a job yourself to have ‘gas money.’ You still have a house and a family to think of, not a midlife crisis.”


“Thumbs


down! Jasper got voted out partly because of his comments stating, ‘There is no waste fraud or abuse in this town in any metric. We’re not getting any interest on the general fund monies, so we might as well spend it (on the senor/media center).’ ‘If you can’t take the heat get out of the kitchen,’ Not endorsing the Hudson resident petition warrant


articles to cut spending of tax dollars and help stop waste, fraud and abuse. I agree that

sources related to taxes, budgets, and spending of our general fund and others funds are found in the budgets/ town minutes and HCTV! I read their comments as many people do.

voters of Hudson need to attend the debilitate sessions and vote! Good luck to Jasper as State Rep, live and learn.”


“Thumbs down to the comment about thumbs comments! I have researched most info related to taxes and even saw Internet links sources in some thumbs comments related to Hudson’s taxes. I have noticed that most of the HSB/TOWN

April 10: Who Won the War of 1812? New Hampshire’s Forgotten Patriot Pirates, Milford, NH. When was the War of 1812? That’s a trick question, but if you don’t recall America’s “Forgotten War” with England - you’re not alone. Two hundred years ago, with only 17 armed ships, a youthful United States declared war on the world’s largest navy (with 700 ships). Then we invaded Canada. In retaliation the British burned Washington, DC to the ground. So how come we think we won? History writer J. Dennis Robinson offers an upbeat, often irreverent, bicentennial look at New Hampshire’s reluctant role in “Mr. Madison’s War” with special emphasis on the privateers who swarmed out of the state’s only seaport. 7 p.m. Wadleigh Memorial Library, 49 Nashua St. (603) 673-2408. April 11: Italian Gardens: Then and Now, Litchfi eld, NH. “The garden is a home’s most important room.” Cornish resident Charles A. Platt (1861-1933), architect, artist, and landscape designer, practiced what he preached. A jump ahead of Edith Wharton and Maxfi eld Parrish in admiration of these gardens, Platt photographed and applied Italian design principles for villas and gardens so that Americans could follow them. A PowerPoint presentation describes and illustrates Italian gardens as Platt photographed them in 1894. Re-photographed in a pilgrimage a century later, we’ll explore what these gardens look like today, from the same vantage point, and discuss the history of designed spaces. Presented by James B. Atkinson. 6:30 p.m. Aaron Cutler Memorial Library, 269 Charles Bancroft Highway.


Aaron Cutler Memorial Library. (603) 424-4044. April 11: Fruit Tree Grafting and Pruning Demonstration, Brentwood, NH. Nada Haddad, UNH Cooperative Extension Educator, Agricultural Resources, Rockingham County, and Bill Lord, Fruit Specialist, Emeritus will conduct the demonstration. They will graft apple trees and prune large, medium and young trees. They will also prune peach trees. This is an outdoor event, held rain or shine. Dress for the weather. No registration is required. 4-6:30 p.m. Apple Annie, 66 Rowell Rd. (603) 679-5616; deb. stevens@unh.edu. April 12: Crime and Punishment on the Isles of Shoals, Rochester, NH. Louis Wagner was charged with murdering Anethe and Karen Christenson on Smuttynose Island, Isles of Shoals, in March of 1873. He was convicted on the fi rst charge and executed in 1875. Although sentiment against Wagner was at a fever pitch immediately following the murders, time and refl ection have generated an ongoing debate as to the fairness of the trial and the validity of the verdict. Drawing from the trial transcript, media reports, and the cultural milieu in which the trial took place, independent scholar John Perrault invites you to examine the law’s judgment of Louis Wagner. Perrault weaves his “Ballad of Louis Wagner” through the course of the program with guitar and vocals. 7 p.m. Rochester Historical Society Museum, 58 Hanson St. (603) 330-3099. April 13: Colin Mochrie & Brad Sherwood: Two Man Group, Lowell, MA. Following the enormous success of ABC’s Whose Line Is It Anyway? Colin Mochrie


and Brad Sherwood, two stars of the Emmy nominated series, have teamed up to present an evening of extraordinary improvisational comedy. Using their quick wit, Mochrie and Sherwood take contributions from the audience to create hilarious and original scenes. Throughout the evening, the show becomes truly interactive as audience members are called to the stage to participate in the fun. Admission fee. Lowell Memorial Auditorium. (978) 454-2299; www. lowellauditorium.com. April 13-15: Patriots’ Day Celebration, Ogunquit, ME. Historical characters offer insights into the past at reenactments throughout the weekend, plus a treasure hunt and a slew of fun activities for all at various downtown locations. (207) 646-2939; visitorgunquit.org.

“Thumbs down to HSB Lee Lavoie, for telling me, ‘In my experience, never has a warrant article had the tax impact’ on voter warrant-article ballots! Lavoie would not tell me why School District Warrant Article 1 did not list there was a 46 cent tax increase associated with the passing of this warrant article, on voting ballots? HSB stated on warrant article 2, ‘And further to raise and appropriate no funds for the upcoming fi scal-year,’ Stating no tax increase? Why didn’t warrant article 1 state there was a 46 cent increase, if the article was passed? Town/School articles should have the

Reps. for overriding the governors veto. Now Pelham will be lumped in with Hudson for representation, and your vote shows how you will represent our town. You totally dissed us after sitting before the Board of selectmen saying you would help us get our own district. You will not be getting my vote!”

“Thumbs up to the selectman for seeing that


the chief doesn’t need a new luxury Tahoe to drive to the lake on the weekend. Sorry, the cup Holder in the old one will have to do. And thumbs down to Ben Nadeau, uninformed again because they are replacing the Deputy’s position.”

These meetings start at 6:00 p.m.-7:00 p.m. and can last until 10:00 or11:00 p.m. Residents need to work in the morning and care for their children. Most residents feel they should call re: any issues they may have. They simply do not have the time to spend at night to go to these meetings and they cannot run for selectman. Most selectman are independently wealthy, retired, or own businesses they don’t need to supervise 40- hrs a week.”
