The Concord/Epsom Elks Lodge 1210 Is Sponsoring a “Hoop Shoot”
National Free Throw Contest

 

The Elks “Hoop Shoot” Free Throw Contest is the largest most visible of the many youth activities sponsored by Elks lodges. Over 3,000,000 boys and girls ages 8-13 will participate this year. The Elks “Hoop Shoot” has served to highlight the Elks commitment to America’s youth. From the millions of youngsters who participate and advance through the local, district, state and regional competition, six national champions are named - one boy and one girl in each of the three categories: ages 8-9, 10-11 and 12-13. The winners each receive a trophy and their names are inscribed on a plaque at the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield, Massachusetts. Parents accompany contestants throughout the competition. The parents of finalists at the state, regional, and national levels attend the competition as guests of the Elks.


The Concord/Epsom Elks Lodge 1210 invites the communities of Epsom Concord, Pittsfield, Barrington, Northwood, Nottingham, Deerfield, Barnstead and Concord to participate in the Elks National Hoop Shoot.


The hoop shoot is open to Children from 8-13 years of age.


The Event will be held on NOVEMBER 21, 2009 8:00AM At the EPSOM CENTRAL SCHOOL, 282 BLACK HALL RD., EPSOM, NH 03234.

Letter


To my constituents in Allenstown, Epsom, & Pittsfield:
Next year will be a very busy session in the Legislature. There are almost 700 bill titles listed on line already, and the Senate hasn’t even started to file its bills. I’ve filed eight bills. Three are repeals of obsolete statutes: the crime of adultery, which hasn’t been prosecuted in decades; a WWI vintage wartime alien registration act; and the laws against business on Sunday. The next bill requires only one license plate per car, which should be at least a small cost saving.


Then I put in a clarification of one of the business taxes. Another bill would create a forum to hear problems with the state’s policies on children, especially child support and custody issues. There are a lot of stories, but no good way to tackle the problems as a whole.


The next bill I put in would forbid the state building code or fire marshal from requiring sprinklers in residences, even though the latest national code does so. The problem is that if you get your water from a well, as many households do in New Hampshire, sprinkler systems become a lot more complicated and expensive, and less effective. Many people would not want the expense and the trouble of maintaining a system that would only gain them a marginal advantage in a very rare occurrence.


Finally, I put in a bill to require state employees to reimburse the state for any personal use of state vehicles, including commuting, at the same rate the state pays for business use of personal cars. Right now commuting is reimbursed at a low, flat rate that gives employees an incentive to commute in state cars.

 

Anyone interested in what’s going on at the State House is invited to email or call me.
Representative

Kitchen Memories, the new Epsom Historical Association cookbook published in July, has already gone to a third printing.

Mudhook Design Studio helped to create the unique, user-friendly layout.

Copies cost $14.95 and are currently available in Epsom at Valley Artisans, Route 4/Goboro Road, and in Northwood at Rustique, 1022 Dover Road (Route 4). There is an additional $3 postage fee for mail orders. For information or to place an order, contact Carole Brown at 736-4407, Betsy Bosiak at 736-4477, or Mary Frambach at 736-9295.
