Attention All Pie Bakers And Pie Lovers!

 

Do you love to bake pie?  Do you love to eat pie?  If you answered, “yes” to either question, then the Pie Table at the End of Summer Block Party on August 25 at Oscar Foss Memorial Library is the place for you.  You can enter your homemade pie in the Pie Bake Off and try a sample of all the pies entered and then buy a slice of your favorite. 

 

The Pie Bake Off is being hosted by Center Barnstead Christian Church and you can pre-register to enter a pie in the Bake Off by going to our website, www.centerbarnsteadcc.org.  You can also register in person when you drop off your pie at the Pie Table on August 25th from 11am to 12pm.

 

We will have a junior category for young bakers aged 17 and under and an adult category for everyone older than 17. You will need to submit two identical pies that are at least 8” and the pie filling must be completely home-made.  We will have no ability to refrigerate the pies. Also, we recommended you submit your pie in a disposable pie pan because no pie pans will be returned. You will need to drop off your pies between 11am and 12pm on August 25 at the Pie Table behind the Library. We will judge the pies starting at 12pm and announce the winner at 1pm.

 

We have some exciting prizes lined up for the winners. After 1pm you will be able to purchase a bite size sample of each of the pies submitted or purchase a slice of any pie.  All samples and slices will be sold by donation. All proceeds will be going to our Christmas Gift Fund.  We use this fund to purchase gifts for families in Barnstead who need a little extra support during the Christmas season and to send shoeboxes packed with gifts overseas via Operation Christmas Child. If you have any questions please call Center Barnstead Christian Church at (603) 269-8831

 


 

Letter To The Editor

“The Pledge” – No Broad Based Taxes In New Hampshire

 

New Hampshire politicians love to stand behind “The Pledge” of no new broad based taxes.  To say that there are no broad based taxes in this state is a bald-faced lie. What do they call the following taxes, fees and permits paid by individuals and businesses?

 

Business Enterprise Tax – Mostly Payroll Tax

Business Profits Tax – Income Tax

Medicaid Enhancement Tax – Sales Tax

Nursing Facility Quality Assessment – Sales Tax

Railroad Tax – Personal Property Tax

Utility Tax – Personal Property Tax

Interest & Dividends Tax – Income Tax

Meals and Rooms Tax – Sales Tax

Real Estate Transfer Tax – Sales Tax

Electricity Consumption Tax – Sales Tax

Communication Services Tax – Sales Tax

Insurance Premium Tax – Sales Tax

Tobacco, Beer & Liquor Taxes – Sales Tax

Road Toll & Fuel Taxes – Sales & Use Taxes

Timber & Gravel Extraction Taxes – Sales Taxes

State & Local Real Estate Taxes – Valuation Taxes 

State & Municipal Registration and Title Fees – Use Taxes 

Building, Electrical & Plumbing Permits – Property Use Taxes

All other state & local fees and permits – Taxes.

 

What is so scary about a Personal Income Tax that is based on ability to pay?  Rich donors don’t like it.  What is so scary about a Sales Tax that excludes food, clothing and medicines? The border stores will lose their beer and tobacco sales, and will have to collect it.  Well they collect it now for Meals & Rooms Taxes.

 

Vote for those who refuse to take “The Pledge” in November!
