Letter To The Editor

There is a lovely little pond between Canterbury Road in Chichester and Route 4. We had not visited it for some time so we took a little walk there about a week ago.

We were saddened to see some of the damage caused by logging, but even more devastated to find the bodies of two porcupines, side by side in the water along the very edge of the pond. It was very obvious that they had been killed.

I wonder if the killer has such little disregard for these little wild creatures that they may have been used for target practice? I wonder also if the killer realizes that the decomposing bodies are polluting this beautiful little pond?

I delight in seeing wild creatures and observing their activities as they go about their lives. It is very sad to realize that the lives of these interesting animals have little or no meaning to others. They are simply one more thing to be killed and disposed of instead of appreciating what their genes tell them to do and learn to live side by side. Such a great loss to all!

Chichester Grange

Chichester Grange met on June 18 with Master Anne Boisvert presiding. Youth Committee Chairman John West reported a successful Youth Rally in Hookset on June6 through 8. At the Talent Show on June 7, Mary West placed first in the vocal category.

Wildlife sightings included a hawk, a ruffed grouse, a meadow vole with babies, a mother robin with three chicks, does and fawns, a big deer who likes rose bushes, a newborn calf, blue herons, wild turkeys, crows, and a red-winged blackbird.

Members went through the list of clues for the photo scavenger hunt sponsored by the State Grange Youth Department. Entries are due in early September.

Plans were made to hold an Eat-Out at the Cat & Fiddle Restaurant in Concord on July 16. Secretary John West will contact members about menu choices. It was announced that the State Grange Family Camping Weekend will be held on June 27 to 29 at the Cornish Fairgrounds.

Chichester Grange will sponsor the Chichester Youth Association Golf Tournament again this year at the Silver level. The Grange will also pay for a subscription to Pack-o-Fun Magazine at the Chichester Library.

The program for the evening was presented by Carolee Davison and her grandson Keith. Keith, a student at Chichester Central School, had recently prepared a project on moose. He shared a moose quiz, moose facts, and moose pictures with the group.

Refreshments following the meeting were served by Anne and Marty Boisvert.


 

Field of Dreams Has Openings for Summer Horse Day Camp

The Field of Dreams Therapeutic Riding Program is celebrating 6 years of offering horsemanship lessons for children with disabilities.  Therapeutic Riding uses the horse a therapeutic tool to help individuals improve their balance, strength, flexibility and coordination.  By using specially trained horses and special teaching techniques, the rider also gains a sense of self-esteem and self-confidence.

This summer, Field of Dreams is once again offering summer horse day camp the week of August 18-22.  Campers do not have to be disabled to participate, as the funds raised from campers go to support the horses during the winter when there are no lessons.  For more information about summer horse camp, please call Teresa at 798-4110 or e-mail at: [email protected]

At Field of Dreams the focus is on independence and trust from the time of arrival until the time to leave.  Each rider has an orientation date before they start lessons.  This time allows them to become comfortable with the strange smells and noises of horses, dogs and baby goats on the farm.  Lessons are 45 minutes and consist of exercises to improve physical, mental and emotional health.  Teresa Brown, instructor at the Field of Dreams, states, "The horse is a sensory treasure box; the smell, movements, textures, sight from up high on the back of a horse and sounds stimulate natural positive responses from riders." 

 Volunteers help keep the horses, fences and pastures in good condition.  They also help during lessons to assist riders with exercises and games that are designed to improve thinking and performing.  One especially enthusiastic volunteer feels that the horses give every-one involved a sense of well-being and accomplishment.
