House Backs Apple Cider as State Beverage

submitted by Cissy Taylor

Apple cider won out over milk as the official state beverage in a lopsided vote in the New Hampshire House of Representatives on March 18.

House Bill 1206, introduced at the urging of a fourth-grade class

from Jaffrey, passed on a vote of 230 to 74. After the bill was first introduced, a fourth-grade class from Gilford had called on the House Environment and Agriculture Committee to make milk the official beverage instead. Representative Bonnie Mitchell (D-Jaffrey), the bill’s sponsor, urged her colleagues to vote in favor of apple cider, reminding them that first-in-the-nation did not always apply to the presidential primary, but could apply to being the first state to have apple cider as its official drink.

Representative Laura Gandia (R-Litchfield), speaking in favor of

choosing apple cider over milk, reminded the House of the numerous apple orchards in the state and the number of cider mills, including White Mountain Cider Co. in Bartlett. She also pointed out that the apple peeler was invented by David Goodell, “a former member of the New Hampshire House of Representatives from 1876 to 1879, a member of the state’s board of agriculture from 1876 to 1883, and the governor of the State of New Hampshire from 1889 to 1891.”

Windham Votes to Amend Customary Home Occupation Ordinance

submitted by Elizabeth Wood, Community Planner

On March 9, Windham voters elected to amend the Customary Home Occupation Ordinance.

It is clearly a secondary use of the property that does not adversely affect the residential character of the neighborhood. It is in compliance with the criteria established for a Customary Home Occupation. The purpose of the Customary Home Occupation ordinance is

In 2008, when the owners of T-BONES and Cactus Jack’s (Great NH Restaurants, Inc.) learned that the NH Food Bank was in desperate need of help, they started brain-storming ways they could help. “We wanted to get everyone involved; our staff, our customers, and our New Hampshire business associates,” says Tom Boucher, Owner and CEO. “We decided to come up with some type of game ... everyone loves games!” That game evolved into Let’s Trade A Meal™ and ended up providing the NH Food Bank with 40,000 meals.

After the success of the first Let’s Trade A Meal game, the owners of Great NH Restaurants decided to lend a helping hand again this year. The promotion began on February 15 and has generated much interest from many loyal customers. Let’s Trade A Meal ends on April 15. Fifty semi-finalists will be randomly selected and invited to the Let’s Trade a Meal Grand Finale Game Event, where six finalists will win one of the major prizes. Over $75,000 in prizes will be awarded to winning participants. Let’s Trade A Meal Prize List:

• Northeast Bath Builders – $12,500 Bathroom Makeover • New England Sight and Sound – $10,000 Home Theater • New Hampshire Motor Speedway – $10,000 Sonoma NASCAR and Wine Country Trip

• Centrix Bank – $5,000 Certificate of Deposit • HK Powersports – $4,500 Polaris Ranger RZR ATV • The New England Pass – $4,000 Ski for Free Plus, six additional runner-up winners will each receive $1,000

in T-BONES and Cactus Jack’s Gift Certificates and all of the 50 semi-finalists will each receive a gift basket valued at over $500 at the grand finale Let’s Trade A Meal party on May 2 at the Cactus Jack’s in Laconia. “We have always been impressed with T-BONES and Cactus

Jack’s generosity. We are excited to be a partner in this year’s Let’s Trade A Meal and are happy to help them give back to our community,” states Dave Hamblett of Northeast Bath Builders. T- BONES and Cactus Jack’s will make a donation to the NH Food Bank with an overall goal of $50,000, enabling the NH Food Bank to deliver thousands of meals to those in need around New Hampshire.

An important goal of the Let’s Trade A Meal event is to raise

awareness of the support that the NH Food Bank needs to continue to provide food for needy New Hampshire families through their 386 agencies. For more information on the event, visit www. LetsTradeAMeal.com, or visit any of the seven restaurants: T- BONES – Bedford, Derry, Laconia, Hudson, and Salem; Cactus Jack’s – Laconia and Manchester, or online at www.T-Bones. com.

Buy a Boat

Analyze the type of activity you want to pursue. Some boats are made for a specific purpose, like water skiing, while other boats serve multiple purposes. Will your boating activity include your spouse and children? Do you plan to include friends on boating trips? Think about the people you want to boat with and consider the kind of space you’ll need to enjoy your activities and remain safe and comfortable. Where do you want to spend your time boating? On an inland lake? On the ocean? Consider the flexibility offered with a “trailerable” boat in terms of selecting different boating destinations versus keeping your boat in a wet slip at a specific location. Do your homework. Gain as much knowledge as possible from boating publications, other boaters, boat dealers, and marinas. Operational costs may include fuel, maintenance, insurance, and spare parts. Other expenses to consider include winter storage; winterizing engines, water systems, heads and holding tanks; and seasonal slip rental. Should you have a vessel inspection? If you purchase a previously owned boat, bring along a friend who knows a lot about boats, or hire a marine surveyor to inspect it. Don’t be afraid to tell a boat dealer or private seller that you’d like to do an inspection. Be comfortable with your decision. How you feel about your

purchase is driven by the value you receive from the experience of owning and operating your boat. If you discover you’re not using your boat as much as you thought you would, or if boating is more expensive than you thought, you should consider selling your boat.
