Maple Grades Have Changed__________

By Jennifer Gornnert, Director
Division of Regulatory Services
In the US, maple syrup is usually sold by grade and color classification. For example, Grade A Medium Amber. Color is used
because it has some general relation to the intensity of maple.
However, inconsistencies between the grading systems used in
each of the maple producing states, as well as Canada, caused
some confusion.
About 12 years ago, the International Maple Syrup Institute,

which is a voluntary organization, whose members include maple
syrup stakeholders both from the US and Canada, established a
committee to review existing regulations for pure maple syrup.
The committee recommended establishing a more simplified and
uniform description of grade names and nomenclature for pure
maple syrup in the US and Canada. The two key objectives were
to eliminate inconsistent grade names, and to emphasize the taste
of the syrup by including flavor descriptors.
In 2013, the NH Maple Producers Association voted to adopt the

proposed grade changes. As a result, in 2014, the NH Department
of Agriculture, Markets and Food went through the rulemaking
process and adopted the new grading system this past December.
The NH Maple Products Law and Rules provide NH maple producers a one year transition period to apply the new grading system. Meaning, in 2015 when purchasing maple syrup consumers
may see the old grading system, or the new grading system on
containers. By January 1, 2016, all maple syrup produced in NH
must be labeled with the new grading system.

Sooo, theres a question going

around about what advice you

My first thought for me would
be You dont know everything! As I am reasonably

recently being pegged a diabetic), I would remind us in a
mind-boggling consideration
that to change any one thing

Would any of us be so composed

and relaxed in front of an excited
crowd?
Atticus and I are comfortable

pretty much wherever we go.
Perhaps it came from the earliest
days when I carried him everywhere I went when he was but a
wee pup. Or maybe it's because
we just fit well together and
always have as if wed been
made for each other. Perhaps it's
the mountains weve climbed or
how each of us has faced our
share of health issues over the
past few years - always side by
side. Whatever the reason he is
simply who he is and I take comfort in that.
Not long ago we were in front of

a standing room only crowd in
Cambridge, Massachusetts and I
spoke as I always do - from the
cuff, perhaps with a bit of wit and
Tourette's mixed in for danger.
(One never knows what I will say
next. Heck, I dont know.)
Someone asked a question and it
had to do with defining our story.

Oh, the places I could go with
such a question. And how to boil
it down into a simple answer.
After all, there are many messages in Following Atticus. What
I came up with was something
that sounded like the following:
"When we are little and standing
in front of our bedroom mirror,
we dream of hitting the winning
homerun in the World Series,
catching the winning touchdown
in the Super Bowl, being elected
president, or being given some
great award. We dream innocently of being great. But then life
comes along and through the
decades it wears us down and
before long we are thirty or
forty...or fifty, and those dreams
of our youth are forgotten. No
one dreams of growing up to sit
in a cubicle five days a week, or
beating his wife, or becoming an
alcoholic. So our story is how
one little dog led me back to
myself, led me back to being that
little boy and all the wonders he
dreamed of and we came to it by
crossing over all these beautiful
mountains in New Hampshire."
Tennyson was correct when he

said, "Tis not too late to seek a
newer world. It's never too late
to pick up where we left off when
innocence left off no matter
how old we are.
Last night I sat with a friend who

is struggling in life - truly struggling. He is mired in fear and has
a difficult time making a right
step. He gets glimpses of magic
but falls back on the old dysfunctions that nurtured his shortcomings and he sits and he doubts
and chooses to believe in anything but happy endings. But all I

morning, all of that changed. We

If the process sounds time-consuming, it is because it is. The

Grafton County budget directly
impacts property taxes, and
multiple layers of oversight and
approval exist to ensure that
critical services are maintained
with minimal impact to the taxpayers. Its also important to
point out that the County budget does not exist in a vacuum.
Federal and State budget and
policy decisions have a direct
impact on county revenues and
expenditures, and ultimately
affect county tax rates. I plan
to write about some of these
issues in the future.
As always, I encourage constituents to call me at 603-7474001 or contact me via my website at www.lindalauer.com if

you have any questions or concerns.
In addition, I invite everyone to

indoor projects - binding off
knitting projects, eagerly making my way through the three
books Im reading, and finding

creative ways to cook the potatoes, carrots, onions, and garlic
that continue to abound (fivesix months after their harvesting) in our winter storage. At
the same time, my excitement is
building for the arrival of an
active season - garden and
homestead plans fill various todo lists whose length, frankly,
can be intimidating.
Really, though, Im hesitant for

the new epoch heralded by the
March equinox - and it is rooted

antipathy for anything else. I
do love winter. The seasons
harsh beauty and stark
prospects imbue their own
shade of joy and wonder in the
short, gray days. The winter
landscape offers its unique calligraphy of frailty and vulnerability which resonates harmoniously with something in my
spirit. The frills of warmer

months are stripped away in
winter and simple comforts are
simple and comfortable, and
hard-earned on the homestead.
Reality is never more distant

cabin door, or the storm shrouding the cabin in snow.

the season of rebirth and growth
will, however, undoubtedly
return. And when it comes, the
smell of rich dirt and forest duff
will kindle an excitement and
an energy within me that will
burn bright until the freeze
returns, and the ice and snow
put the warmer world to bed for
a spell. Without these luish seasons of seeds, of harvests, of
firewood and of woods work,
the fulfillment and satisfaction
of winter would be short-lived.
Still, a part of me smiles and
cheers when I see the March
rain return to snow, or the sunny
afternoon give way to blustery
nights and chilled mornings.
Spring is getting closer!

Bradford Academy buildings
meeting room. The production
will be presented the first two
weekends in June in Bradford,
Vermont. There are parts for 2
men and 4 women, ages about
20-40.
Directed by Sheila Kaplow,
Crimes of the Heart won the
Pulitzer Prize and the NY
Drama Critics award for Best
American Play in 1981. It was
made into a movie in 1986 and
received 3 Academy Award
nominations.
The story is about three sisters

who have gathered to await
news of their grandfather, who
is living out his last hours in the
local hospital: Lenny, the oldest
sister, is unmarried at thirty and
facing diminishing marital
prospects; Meg, the middle sister, is back home after a failed
singing career on the West
Coast; and Babe, the youngest,
is out on bail after having shot
her husband in the stomach.
Their troubles, grave and yet,
somehow, hilarious, are highlighted by their cousin Chick,
and by the awkward young
lawyer who tries to keep Babe
out of jail while helpless not to
fall in love with her.

The third and final winter

biathlon of the season at the
Pemi Fish and Game Club in
Holderness, NH was held at the
clubs shooting ranges on
Saturday, March 7, 2015. The
biathletes were greeted with
near perfect conditions with the
temperature 3 degrees at 6:00

afternoon. Ample snow cover
blessed the participants with
grooming provided by the local
Squam Lakes Trailbusters
snowmobile club. Thirty-five
persons registered for this winter biathlon event, a new high
for winter biathlon at the club
with two on snowshoes and the
rest skate-skiing. Ages ranged
in age from 10 to 71. Congrats
to the two who shot clean (no
misses) and the several who had
only one or two misses!
