The Campbell High Music Department, led
by Jill Deleault and Phil Martin, presented
the Annual Tree Lighting Concert and
Holiday Assembly on Tuesday, Dec. 23.
The jazz band provided music while
the students and faculty gathered for the
ceremony.
The purpose of the event is for the
community to honor or remember special
individuals who have been a positive
influence in students lives. Individual white
lights represented those friends and relatives
the students wished to honor. Students purchased
lights and donations were used toward a scholarship fund for the graduates at
Campbell High School.
The name of each relative or friend was placed in the days program and read
aloud at the tree lighting ceremony by members of the student council. The
Campbell High School Chorus and Band then performed seasonal songs,
with a sing-a-long, and a visit from Santa.
The performance certainly set a festive and appreciative mood for
the audience of students and staff, while both the chorus and band
performed the Christmas medley flawlessly.
Lights of Life listed this year were as follows: Paula Kane,
Jennifer Lang, Richard Lombard, Mr. Robert Manseau, Catherine
Mayo, Eleanor Neild, Haworth Neild, Claire Oakes, Joseph
Oakes, John Pynchon, Ronald Randolph, Rod Tower Robert Welch,
Francis Beauregard, Marjorie Beauregard, David Beauregard, Joanne
Bergeron, Mr. and Mrs. Clifton Canney, Lindsay Compagna, Sally
Deschenes, Theresa Dinees, Tiffany Dube, Elsie Fernandez, Jessica Ferraro,
Emily Flynn, Richard Flynn, and Sean Hardy.

for a rescue.
Over the last 100 years both communities have
provided mutual aid to each other in times of
large fires and other incidents. But it goes much
farther than mutual aid. Hudson purchased its
first two ladder trucks from the City of Nashua
for one dollar. Hudson loaned one of the trucks
back to the city in the 1970s after a city truck was
involved in a motor vehicle crash and was placed
out of service. Nashua again came to the aid of
Hudson with a loaner ladder truck in 1995 when
our truck went out of service.
In the near future the fire department will
place a smaller squad vehicle in service that will
respond to rescue calls within Hudson.

The old grey fox has been feeling a little red about not nosing
around Hudson politics and telling you what he sees. But then
again, no good deed goes unpublished.
Former Hudson Fire Chief Shawn Murray has taken over the
Central Coventry, Rhode Island, Fire District as chief. The former
Central Coventry chief resigned two weeks after the district filed for
bankruptcy.

The New Hampshire Department of Safety announced Monday the launch of its NH Alerts mobile app,
a free tool that notifies users of hazards in the area based upon cell phone location.
The NH Alerts app was developed by the Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management
with federal grants. The New Hampshire Alerts app takes emergency notification to the next level, said
state Homeland Security and Emergency Management Director Perry Plummer. Anyone with the New
Hampshire Alerts app on their phone will know about safety issues in their area, from accidents and road
closures, to hazardous weather and active shooters. We can now send messages directly to those people
who are in the path of danger. I strongly encourage everyone to download this app.
The NH Alerts app provides warnings via an audible alert. The types of alerts received are completely
customizable allowing the user to determine the frequency with which warnings are received. The
NH Alerts app works with iPhone and Android cell phones and is currently available via links on
ReadyNH.gov. The NH Alerts app is free to anyone including visitors from other states.
