Town Clerk Hours

Sandi Pierson writes: "In the December 26, 2012 the Select Board minutes noted that the town clerk's office would be holding two daytime hours each week. This is not accurate. Along with the regular schedule, the town clerk's office will be open on the third Friday of the month from 9 AM to 11 AM."
If you have any doubts about office times, trash collection, or town events, check the town calendar. And if you have Google Calendar, remember that you can easily add the Orange calendar to your own!

Big Burls Don't Cry

Sandi Pierson sent in this photo of an enormous burl, with Gabe Roxby from the Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests.
The tree--is that a maple, Sandi?--grows in the Sudrabin forest: "Orange's best kept secret... a wonderful woodland playground," she notes.
