New Flag for Maine?

 

Maine's House of Representatives is debating a proposal to change the design of Maine's flag.

 

Maine could be changing their flag soon if a House Provision introduced last week makes it way through the legislative process. Maine House Provision 508 was introduced by state Representative Janice Cooper to change the current Maine State flag back into the flag the State had prior from 1901 to 1909. The alternative state flag would be much simpler with a white field, a green pine tree in the center, and a blue star to the top left. Advocates for the change point to online surveys that rate Maine as having one of the worst flag designs in the country.

 

The “new” design would actually be the design Maine previously used between 1901 and 1909.

New England Patriots Week Declared!

It’s official! It’s New England Patriots Week in New Hampshire. The proclamation was issued by Governor Chris Sununu following the lowest scoring Superbowl in history, a feat which he credits to the outstanding defense played on both sides of the field. Governor Sununu says, “The Patriot’s victory over the Rams ties the franchise with the Pittsburgh Steelers for the most Super Bowl victories ever.” And that he has, “no doubt that before long Tom Brady will be leading the Patriots to a historic seventh win.”

When Should You Shovel Off Your Roof?

How much snow is too much for your roof? Obviously the answer to that depends on your particular home, but the Insurance Institute for Business and Home Safety recommends definitely getting your roof shoveled off by two feet of snow, which can weigh as much as 60 pounds per square foot. They note it’s also important to remember that fresh snow doesn’t weigh as much as older snow or ice, which is much more dense. This doesn’t mean that your roof is necessarily safe below two feet of snow. The National Research Council Canada recommends keeping an eye on signs your house may give that it’s under strain from the snow. These signs can include unusual sounds from the roof or supporting walls, visible movement of walls or sagging of ceiling and cracking of drywall or plaster. Other signs may include doors that jam or water leaks that show up after a big snow fall.

 

Keeping your roof clear of snow can save you and your wallet a lot of hurt this winter.
