by Jordan Ulery Over the past several weeks much

has been written about the plightand effect of those moving fromone country to another. While it isa given of Natural Law that peoplehave the absolute Right to move fromplace to place. It is also an absoluteRight to be left alone in peace. This

may seem to be a “rock and a hard place” dilemma, but itmay not be. It may be good hearted attempts are creating asituation where a large group of people are rejected by thevery place in which they sought refuge.

First let us consider what a migrant is. Being in NewHampshire, let us use Daniel Webster’s cousin’s dictionary.A migrant is therein defined as a person who moves fromplace to place, on a regular basis, in search of work.Individuals in this group are not seeking political power,nor are the seeking societal support other than that due to ahuman being. Growing up I worked and played with manymy own age in the fields of northern Indiana. The peoplecame, worked, were paid the same as all others workingand, when the work was done, they moved to the next job.Today I suppose their work could be compared to workingfor a Temp Agency (that being a sequence of farmers).

It is estimated by the UN (UN Population Facts, 9/2013)that there are more the 230,000,000 such workersworldwide. The EU and Asia combine represent theemployment of the vast majority of these workers. The UShas the highest number for a single nation according toUN estimates at around 46,000,000 souls in 2013. Thesepeople are here because they want to work, and they wantto return home. Unlike the rest of the world, the US, withlax border controls, has no record of who is here, who hasa visa to work and who is here in violation of law (illegally).

The other term is emigrant. Webster’s defines andemigrant (emigrante) as a person who moves, for whateverreason, from the place that they are to another with the

intent of becoming a permanent resident of that new locale.An immigrant may develop from a refugee, but is usuallya person who has made a willful decision to re-establishthemselves in a new place. Webster’s, in the definition,uses also the term to assimilate into the new place. That isthe key difference, assimilation. The 18th and 19th centuryterm for the homogenization of cultures into a new, vibrantculture representing various elements from Swiss Cheeseto Jalapeño poppers is “Melting Pot.” This was attemptedby the Austro-Hungarian Empire in Slovakia, Neapolitan(Italian), Czech, Serbia, Hungary (Transleithania), Germany,Swabia, Romania, Slovenia, Ukraine, Austria (Cisleithania)and with nearly every possible religion from Sunni Islamto Roman Catholic failed in large part by the failure ofthe diverse people to respect one another and join ina common bond. They were rather a “salad bowl” ofethnicities and religions rejecting the “Indivisibiliter acinseparabiliter motto and phrase “Unser Kaiser, unser Land”promoted by the emperor. What happened in that oncegreat Empire is now called balkanization. This salad bowlapproach was arguably a direct cause of World War I.

The term illegal alien refers to federal law. 8 USC § 1101defines alien as a person who is not a national nor citizenof the United States. That is the definition. An illegal alienis a person who unlawfully enters or remains in the UnitedStates as defined at 8 USC § 1325. It is not a derogatory

term; it is merely the legal term. There is no such entityas an undocumented migrant – legally. When a personcame to Ellis Island With Out Papers (usually fleeing theGaribaldis civil wars of the Italian peninsula) occasionallya large stamp WOP was placed on the record saying theperson had to be checked carefully. Thus the origin ofthe derogatory term “wop.” Some today, however, seembent on creating yet again a derogatory term for those whoare undocumented. Far better to use legal terminologythat create a pejorative phase to denigrate a whole groupof people. By the way, entry into the U. S. is a crimepunishable by up to six months imprisonment in the firstinstance.

All of that legal terminology is well and good, butwho are illegal aliens? First and foremost, they are notmigrant workers for there is a good working program inwhich millions participate annually. Second they are notemigrants for they have rejected the laws of this country in

favor of their own, perhaps and likely, self-interest. Thatalso means, however, that the illegal alien has rejected jurisdiction of the laws of the United States and theSeveral sovereign States thereof in favor of a lawlessnessand in favor of living outside the protection of the law. Inthe middle ages such a person was commonly called anoutlaw. Does this mean that all who enter are “bad?”No, it means only that all who enter illegally are illegalaliens. Whether or not they are “bad” is a moral decisionand needs to be made on a case-by-case basis. Consider,however, when you find a person in your house uninvited,what is your first instinct?

In practical terms this does not mean that every personwho is “different” is to be treated with suspicion. Forheaven’s sake, and I do mean Heaven’s Sake use thecommon definition of social justice, i.e. ‘giving unto eachwhat each deserves’, which is St. Thomas’ way of saying ‘dounto others …’ The definition of justice used by Isadore isperhaps more fitting (and it is also used by St. Thomas): “aman is said to be just because he respects the rights [jus]of others.” That strongly suggests that life should not be so

comfortable, so lax, here that it is better to be an outlawthan it is to be an emigrant and adopt one’s new land. Thatdefinition also makes clear that the outlaw is acting unjustlytoward the person he is displacing by not adhering to locallaw.

It is difficult to become an U.S. citizen. It is also easierto be a U.S. citizen as an emigrant than it is to become alegal subject of the Queen of Canada, or a citoyen de laFrance. It is much, much, much, much, easier to become aCitizen of the United States than it is to become ciudadanonaturalizado de México, which is not usually granted.

To say that the people coming to the United Statesin massive numbers are doing so out of love is a small,insignificant part of the story. At the same time, if one trulyloved one’s family and wanted them to enjoy all the fruitsof life and liberty in this land, would not you strive to makeyour homeland secure or seek legal entry, rather than facedeath by Guardias fronterizos mexicanos or carteles dedrogas? If we are a nation of laws, then enforce the laws.The U.S. entry laws are not that odous nor difficult withwhich to comply. Invite people to join with us, but invite

them to join as legal, emigrants, not illegal aliens. Wewant people to join, to amalgamate, to merge, to infuse, toenergize, to strengthen, to assimilate; not to balkanize orreject our joint culture and laws.

War was Never the only Alternative

Initially, the President’s objective was toeliminate Iran’s nuclear capabilities, backedby rigorous inspections that would occur“anytime, anywhere.” As Iranians wounddown their program, sanctions would belifted and frozen assets released. Also, Iran

would be required to disclose the extentof their nuclear program (baseline data fordetermining how quickly Iran could achievea nuclear “breakout”). So far, so good.

However, after almost two year ofconcessions, that plan is unrecognizable!

*Iran can continue enriching uranium.*Te “anytime, anywhere” inspections can

occur only if Iran permits them, buying timefor Iran to evade detection.

*Most sanctions will be lifted immediately.*Te $100 billion in assets will be released

immediately (the President admits the money will fund terrorism)

* Critical program data isn’t required.(Whatever happened to the verify part of“trust but verify?”)

Also, despite the fact that the President hasremoved many Iranians from sanctions lists,Iran continues to hold American hostages

Te result is that Iranians appear havebeen rewarded and are essentially free tocontinue nuclear development.

If Iranians were to fail to comply with theterms of the agreement, the President claims

the “snapback” of sanctions would addressthe issue. However, if those sanctions wereto be re-imposed, that would provide amechanism for Iran to back out of the dealand totally bar the UN inspectors. Also,once the many international business dealsin the pipeline with Iran are finalized, it ishighly unlikely that their sponsors wouldagree to severing them.

Only when this agreement has well-defined, independently verified milestonesfor dismantling Iran’s nuclear program,should sanctions be lifted and assets released.For a balanced and equitable agreement,these are reasonable goals with no warrequired. Te world gets to oversee Iran’snuclear program, while Iran receives billionsof dollars and the opportunity to re-enterthe global economy. However, withoutcritical changes, the current agreement is adangerous miscalculation.

Significantly, the President bypassedCongress and ignored valid concerns, while not objecting to the UN’s reviewand approval of the agreement. If or whenCongress is allowed to vote, the Presidenthas already announced that he will veto anydisapproval.

In the meantime, Iran has reported thattheir parliament will review and vote on theagreement in October. Te objective maybe to demand even more concessions beforefinalizing it. If so, where would the Presidentdraw the new line and would Congresssupport it?

4 Dracut Rd • Hudson, NH • 603-594-0872

by Doug RobinsonSix roses, wrapped in multi-colored red, white, and blue ribbon,

rested stoically at the base of the 9/11 Memorial within Benson Park.Their colorful brilliance and sweet smell symbolize the lives loston Sept. 11, 2001, that still remain vivid in our memories. Todayseveral “remembrance” rose bushes bloom near the memorial thatboth honors and recalls those who died 14 years ago..

On that fateful, cloudless blue sky morning of Sept. 11, husbandsand wives, boyfriends and girlfriends, moms and dads kissed theirloved ones good-bye as they would on any normal day.

But Sept. 11, 2001 was not another normal day. Like the bombingof Pearl Harbor or the explosion of the space shuttle Challenger,those old enough to understand and to have knowledge of thesignificance of that day, will never forget what they were doing orwhere they were going.

“In the span of 102 minutes taken from us were mothers, fathers,sisters, brothers, husbands, wives, children and citizens from 57countries,” said Captain David Morin, Hudson Fire Departmentduring his 9/11 Memorial address (on Sept. 2011).

“We in Hudson lost David Kovalcin, a husband, father, neighborand friend. Three hundred fellow firefighters, 60 police officers andeight EMS personal made the ultimate sacrifice that day trying torescue victims from the peril in New York.”

For months, the 20 members of the 9/11 Memorial Committeeplanned, created partnerships with architects, constructioncompanies, landscaping companies, granite companies, and ourtown officials to complete their vision, t o honor our first respondersand those citizens who gave their lives.

Morin continued, “To the rescue workers in Arlington, Va., andShanksville, Pa., who put their lives on the line to save other victimsof that day. We thank them.”

The people of Hudson rallied together to make sure the heroes of9/11 would not be forgotten. “Selectman Roger Coutu, Fire CaptainDave Morin and several other Hudson residents (left) for New YorkCity early Thursday to pick up a 26-foot long, 54 inch-wide steelbeam from the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. It’s oneof the many beams that fell with the Twin Towers on Sept. 11, 2001,”wrote Nashua Telegraph’s Cameron Kittle (in 2011).

In speaking of t he large hangar at the New York Port Authority thatheld the fallen steel from the Twin Towers, “We stood there in totalawe,” commented Captain Dave Morin, Hudson Fire Department

and president of Hudson’s 9/11 MemorialCommittee. “The mood of everyonechanged at that point and it became muchmore emotional and real. It was trulyamazing.”

Having received the steel beam from theport authority, the group then traveled backto Hudson with the beam draped with anAmerican flag.

Dozens of stories have been written overthe years about the “Beam of Pride,” “TheSteel Beam of Resolve,” “When Steel Can

Speak “and “WTC Beam Makes Stand i nHudson.”

But those two silent words, expressedby those six roses, left by an anonymousvisitor, resting at the base of Hudson’s9/11 Memorial speak louder than anywritten words could express. They silentlyexplode with, “I remember” for everyoneto hear. “I will never forget.”

On the tenth anniversary of Sept. 11,

the 9/11 Memorial at BensonPark with its steel beam wasdedicated. As reported in theNashua Telegraph, “This is apark that belongs to the peopleof the state of New Hampshire,not just the people of Hudson,”said Selectman Roger Coutu.“This (memorial) will be open toanyone who wants to come inand to spend some tranquil timeand commemorate the lives thatwere lost on 9/11.”

More than 1,000 people

attended the dedication ofHudson’s 9/11 Memorial atBenson Park on that Sundayafternoon, Sept. 11, 2011.

Granite walls, shaped likethe Pentagon, enclose the 9/11Memorial. Visitors pass ninedescriptive walkway markers,erected to offer a silent timelinetribute that provides a minute-by-minute account of that fatefulday.

“8:46:26 a.m.-Flight 11Impacts the North Tower of theWorld Trade Center, Sept. 11,2001”

“9:02:59 a.m.-Flight 175Impacts the South Tower of theWorld Trade Center, Sept. 11,2001”

“9:37:46 a.m.-Flight 77Impacts the Western Side of thePentagon, Sept. 11, 2001”

“9:59:04 a.m.-The SouthTower of the World Trade CenterCollapses, Sept. 11, 2001”

“10:03:11 a.m.-Flight 93Crashes Near Shanksville,Pennsylvania, Sept. 11, 2001”

“10:26:25 a.m.-The North Towerof the World Trade Center Collapses,Sept. 11, 2001”

At the base of the memorial, themarker states,“The Entrance tothis Memorial Follows the FlightPath of Flight 77 into the Pentagon,

Arlington, Va.”

Two more markers proclaim,“Never Forget” and “In Honorof Our Military Men and Womenwho Dutifully Serve to Protect OurFreedom,” Sept. 11, 2001.

Multiple rose bushes have beenplanted around the Pentagon-shaped granite walls and are knownas “remembrance” roses.

The grass surrounding the steelbeam symbolizes the field inPennsylvania where the hijackedFlight 93 crash landed at the handsof the very brave passengers who

averted further tragedy by givingtheir lives.“I felt I had to write to you of

our family’s sincere appreciationfor your wonderful contributionsand generosity to the 9/11 site atBenson’s, now a beautiful park,”wrote Ester Ross and family.

“I lost my dear cousin and 66 ofhis employees and friends in theSouth Tower at World Trade Centeron September. Always wanting a‘go to’ place locally, I was thrilledto hear of the work being done atBenson’s. On Saturday, I went tothe site thinking that before theceremony the next day I’d have afew moments of privacy to reflect onour losses and see what was done.

“As I walked the path and sawthe exquisite memorial makers,the etchings and particularly thevery last monument with the WTC,Shanksville, Pentagon, I was, forthe first time in all these years,turning my grief into appreciationfor this magnificent tribute, dignifiedwork, and you are all my heroes.”Written Sept. 2011 by the family ofthe late Herman Sandler (Sandlerand O’Neill) WTC South Tower,Manhattan.

Captain Morin also stated duringhis address (in 2011), “The steelthat rises above us all, although aninanimate object, has provoked anamazing and emotional response.I have had the honor of watchinghundreds of people visit the steel. Ihave seen thousands of tears, hugs,and many hands touching steel aswords of prayer are whispered. I

have seen expressions of empathy, joy, sorrow, awe, compassion,

fascination and thankfulness.”As a young family began to exit the memorial recently, the son

attempted to place his skateboard down on the walkway path as hewished to skate his way out of the memorial. The dad snapped athis son stating, “Pick that up.” The son replied, “Why?” The dadstopped and turned to his son and stated, “Respect. Look around,understand where you are and never forget.”

9/11 First ResponderHealth Issues Affect Thousands

by Doug RobinsonExecutive Director Patrick J. Foye of the New York Port Authority

wrote, “With the 14th anniversary of September 11 approaching, youor your organization may be having memorial events in the comingdays. These events present an opportunity to raise awareness aboutthe continuing health impacts to responders and survivors. Theinformation below conveys the scale of the issue and comes fromthe Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s World Trade CenterHealth Program, which was established by the Zadroga 9/11 Healthand Compensation Act:• There are more than 71,000 responders and survivors receiving

medical monitoring and/or medical treatment for their September11 injuries. In the past year, more than 3,600 responders and

survivors enrolled in the WTC Health Program.• September 11 responders and survivors enrolled in the program

are in every state and in 429 of 435 Congressional districts.Approximately 8,000 responders enrolled in the WTC HealthProgram reside outside of the NYC Metropolitan Area.

• More than 33,000 responders and survivors have at least oneinjury or illness related to September 11 - more than 22,000 havetwo or more. More than 3,700 responders and survivors havecancer related to the events of September 11.

We thought it important that you and your organization know aboutthe scope and magnitude of the health issues faced by September 11responders and survivors across our country.”

Have a Beef with Hudson Administration or Selectmen?

by Len LathropHaving heard from several Hudson residents who volunteer on various committees in town about the new

Public Input rules that the selectmen adopted at their last meeting, it seemed important to look into the matterfor you.

Here is the policy as it was send to the town committee chairmen with a subtle hint that it should beadopted by all committees. But let’s let you read it.

The introduction on the email:Good afternoon –

At the Board of Selectmen’s meeting of August 25th, the Board adopted “Public Input at Board ofSelectmen’s Meetings.” I am passing this along to our boards/committees if you too would like to follow theBoard’s guidelines at your meetings. This is in no way meant for each of you to adopt but rather a tool inconducting public input.

Here is what one reader sent to me:Len, I don’t know if you have seen

this policy, but I am blown away byitem #3. It is written so broadly that a

person could not go to the board andcomplain about a member of the BOSand if you had a complaint about theTown Administrator, you would have to

go to him with your complaint. I alsobelieve that it is not right for a citizennot to be able to go to the BOS to lodgea complaint against a town employee.Maybe I am missing something?Another wrote:

The board cannot enforce a 91-Asituation on the member of the public,If someone is complaining about an

employee, that is the citizen’s right. If itis a personnel matter of the board notthe public. They might not be able torespond but have to listen to it. A citizencan say what they want, while they canslander someone or a business, but thatonly can be enforced by the courts.

Being at the Board of Selectmenmeeting on Aug. 25, the documentwas not readily available to thosein attendance and the discussionfocused around having public inputat the workshop meetings, which theselectmen hold on the first Tuesday ofevery month.

Having watched the meeting from the gallery and also reviewing it on HCTV22, the debate was aboutallowing or not allowing public input at workshop meetings. Selectmen Coutu was adamant that if theselectmen are meeting as a board, the public should be allowed input. The conversation centered arounda ‘number 7’ (one of the items concerned with who was allowed to speak) that at Coutu’s insistence, andhe would not capitulate, was removed and the policy subsequently passed.

Citizens can give public input at workshop meetings the same as at regular meetings, but who knows

what will happen if you have a complaint about a town employee, or the town senior staff or even aselectman. As it reads now you have to talk to the town administrator first, even if the complaint is abouthim.

The Cost of Gas in Hudsondoes not Make Cents

by Doug RobinsonThe roads of Hudson o ffer multiple choices when it comes to filling

up your car, boat, RV, lawnmower, or motorcycle. And with thoseoptions comes a discrepancy of prices for a low of $2.39 up to ahighest price in Hudson of $2.49 at Haffner’s (all of the gas prices wererecorded on Friday, Sept. 4).

According to Wikipedia, “The United States federal excise tax ongasoline is 18.4 cents per gallon and 24.4 cents per gallon for dieselfuel. On average, as of April 2015, state and local taxes add 30.5 centsto gasoline and 29.7 cents to diesel, for a total U.S. average fuel tax of48.9 cents per gallon for gas and 54.1 cents per gallon for diesel.”

NH taxes gas at a rate of 42.23 cents per gallon, of which 23.83cents is appropriated to the NH Highway Fund. Of that, one third isreturned to the towns for road and bridge repairs.

In speaking with Hudson’s Town Administrator Steve Malizia, hecommented that the town does not offer any “special exemptions” togas stations that would cause a difference in their pricing of their gas.

So, if all the gas stations have the same tax structure, why is theresuch a difference? In Derry, gas is offered at low as $2.11. AnotherDerry station is selling gas at $2.05 with the purchase of a car wash.

In Windham, B&H is selling gas for $2.25. Engen at North LowellRoad, an independent gas station on the town line of Derry/Windham,is selling gas for $2.28.

AAA lists as a national average for Sept. 8 at $2.39 per gallon.Manchester is listed at $2.27 per average gallon.

On Sept. 5, Motor Trend Magazine reported that Nashua’s averageprice for gas was $2.39.

According to exxonmobilperspectives.com, “The answer (on theprice of gas) is based on the economics of supply and demand and howproducts are manufactured and sold – along with what the government

takes in taxes.“The cost of the raw materials used to make a product has a majorimpact on the final product price. The raw material for gasoline iscrude oil. The price of crude oil is set by global markets, where buyersand sellers constantly react to supply and demand factors. Oil is justone of many commodities traded every day in the global market.”

Terry Burgess, owner of Hudson’s Ferry Street Gulf, commented that“I receive my cost price from Gulf at midnight every day on the costof the gas I purchase. From this number, I then need to figure out myselling price. My price is determined by local competition, cost ofoverhead, payroll, and I also need to figure in the credit card fees. Inthe end, I need to make enough to stay in business to keep the lightson.”

The owner (wished to have his name withheld) of the Mobil stationon Derry Road commented that “My gas prices areset by Mobil. They tell me what to price my gas. Ilease the gas, and I own the store. I receive a straightcommission for the gas sold. My involvement withthe gas is to make sure the pumps remain operational,keep it clean, and keep the prices at what I am told.”

As of press time, Haffner’s had not returned a request

for information regarding their pricing. However, theHLN did notice that they dropped their gas price by 10cents. Whether they reduced the price as a reactionto inquiries or as a result of their marketing strategy isunknown.

It is known that approximately six weeks ago,Haffner’s was purchased and restructured.

Two gas station owners did comment, “Haffner’sused to be the leader of gas prices. They are notanymore.”

Another stated, “Maybe it (their high price of gas)is because they are close to the highway and do notworry about it anymore.”

But for whatever the reason, the gas prices inHudson just don’t make sense.

“Thumbs down to any substance abuser; druguser who feels tax payers should help with rehabor narcan. You caused the addiction and resultingproblem, not anyone else. Get tough on yourselfand don’t lean on anyone else.”

“Thumbs up to the person who called fora resolution to the escalating and unbearablegunshot noise in Litchfield. Yes, we respectthe right of sportsmen to enjoy their hobby, butsomeone has to speak up for our right to live inpeace. Moreover, somebody has to take action tofix it. We have lived here for 25 years and 23 ofthem have been quite peaceful. Now, it is awfulto be outdoors. What is going on? In what worlddo people think it is reasonable to ask folks to livewith this constant noise? As the poster says: there

Keene Edges Alvirne in Tight Battle

by Mike Bourk During the off season senior Brad Kamal transferred from Pelhamto Alvirne. He made quite the impression in his first game for theBroncos rushing for 173 and two touchdowns. Unfortunately,it wasn’t enough as Keene beat Alvirne 23-18 at Alumni Field inKeene.

Several turnovers and penalties at key points of the game reallyhurt the Broncos’ chances. Keene was penalized much more with11 penalties for 93 yards. The difference was that the Blackbirdpenalties came at less critical junctures in the game.

On Keene’s opening drive Alvirne overcame four penalties forcingthe Blackbirds to punt from midfield. The Broncos started their firstdrive from their own 12-yard line. From there they executed an88-yard drive consuming 8 minutes and culminating in a 12-yardtouchdown run by Brad Kamal. Kamal has two 20-yard runs on thedrive, successfully navigating the holes opened up by the Broncooffensive line. Defensive back Danny Brown picked off a Keenepass to end the first quarter with the Broncos up 7-0.

In the second quarter a Bronco fumble gave Keene possession justshy of the 50-yard line. The Blackbirds ran the ball on 11 straightplays repeatedly gaining four and five yards at a time, ending with

a Chanse Glinka touchdown run. Alvirne blocked the extra pointleaving the Broncos with a 7-6 lead with 30 seconds left in the half.On the ensuing kick-off Alvirne fumbled and Keene recovered. TheBlackbird quarterback found Cullen Costa on a 23-yard pass gettingthe ball to the Bronco 4-yard line. Despite the missed extra point

just a moment earlier, Blackbird Coach John Luopa opted for a fieldgoal attempt with two seconds left in the half. Kicker Erick Zechadid not disappoint nailing a 21- yard field goal and giving Keene a

9-7 lead at halftime.The Broncos, who won the coin flip prior to the start of the game
