Mutt and Jeff were used in this road sign on Kelley Corner on the north side of the road opposite the driveway to the home of Paul Adams. It is thought that it was originally painted by Blake Adams using characters of a cartoon which first appeared in 1907. Jeff is pointing to Pittsfield and Mutt to Concord. The sign was referenced in the article written by Walter Sanborn in the September 3 issue of The Sun.

 


 

Are We Looking For You?

We are if you were in the Class of 1959 at Pittsfield High School! It has been 50 years since some of us have seen each other.


A group is forming to plan for our big 50th Class reunion. If you would like to join this group, come to the Pittsfield Community Center on Main Street (the old Town Hall) on September 24th at 7:00 p.m. Hope to see you there.
 



There will be a 6 P.M. Chichester Youth Association meeting Sunday, September 14th in the Selectman’s office. All are invited to attend.
 



Chichester Grange will meet on Wednesday, September 17, at 7 p.m. upstairs in the Grange Hall. Members are reminded to bring items for the Chichester Food Pantry.
 



This is the time of year to become more active in Town governance. The Capital Improvement Program Committee, Space Needs Committee, Road Advisory Committee, Parks and Recreation Commission, Conservation Commission, and Planning Board could all use additional citizen membership and input as the time comes near to finalize the budget and prepare the warrant for the Town Meeting. March may seem far away, but the budget needs to be set soon so that hearings may be held and documents printed. If you want a say in what happens in Chichester in 2009, the time to become involved is now.
 


 

Chichester Grange Hears Food Bank Speaker

Chichester Grange met on September 3 upstairs in the Grange Hall. After the opening ceremonies Lecturer Hannah West introduced Connie Miville from the NH Food Bank. Connie gave a power point presentation about the many services that the NH Food Bank offers. It is not a place for individuals to come for food. Instead it works to collect and distribute food all over the state through local agencies and also provides many food-related programs. There are cooking classes for young people and immigrants who need to learn how to shop for and prepare nutritious food on a low-income budget. There are classes to train the jobless for a new career in food preparation. Fresh produce is grown on land in Manchester. The NH Food Bank participates in a Fresh Rescue Program where supermarket meat and other food, which has reached its sell-by date, can be frozen and then distributed by the Food Bank. There is a Mobile Food Pantry which trucks food to distribution centers. A newly expanded program is the Back Pack Program, which provides food and literacy materials to school age children and their families. Everyone was invited to come to the Food Bank in Manchester for a tour or to learn how to volunteer there.


During the business meeting, which followed the speaker’s presentation, members worked on end of the year reports, made plans to weed the Memorial Park, and began to plan for a Memorial Day observance in 2009. Refreshments following the meeting were served by Carolee Davison. The next meeting will be September 17, when Deputy Rhoda Davis will make her official visit and members will confer the Second Degree.

 



Out Of Your Attic Thrift Shop News

By Ruthi True
Save Green$$$$$$$$$

It seems like the best way to save money is to shop a thrift shop and go green by buying pre-owned gently used clothing and other items. Buying pre-owned is almost always the best deal.


Some kids are back to school already and they didn’t have to feel left out or embarrassed because they couldn’t afford a new backpack. That sure wouldn’t be a good way to start the new year. But remember some go to school without the supplies they need that’s why we delivered many back packs to so many local schools and we were happy to help.


Thanks to the efforts of many local families that donated items to “OUT OF YOUR ATTIC THRIFT SHOP” in Chichester. Those back packs were loaded with all the necessary things that they have to bring on their own to school now.


I remember how excited I was to go to school each year and the teacher would give me a pencil box with a pencil, eraser, ruler, and a box of crayons. Wow!  things have changed. We don’t get as much for that tax dollar anymore plus we get to buy our own school supplies as well. With cash tight and the cost of fuel, food, and clothing so high we are sure these back packs were much appreciated by the children in the local surrounding towns who received them.


It isn’t just poor families needing help now, we are finding many middle class families needing our help as well. Sometimes the money just isn’t there so stop pretending and help those less fortunate.


Wish list:

  1. Warm new blankets for winter projects.

  2. Canned meat and soup for the food box project.

  3. Paper grocery bags always needed.

Also, the lucky winner week #4 was Dora Hill and week #5 the winner was Carol Locke. Congratulations girls. Anyone can come in and spend $5 and enter for a chance to win the weekly drawing.
