Chichester NH News

December 29, 2010

The Suncook Valley Sun News Archive is Maintained by Modern Concepts. We are NOT affliated in any way with the Suncook Valley Sun Newspaper.



 

The Chichester Old Home Day Committee would like to thank the following for making the 3rd annual Christmas tree lighting a success: Data Solutions, Chichester Cub Scouts Pack 85, Chichester Fire Dept., and, of course, our cookie bakers - Joann Luikmil, Stacey Luikmil, Ashley Chapman, and Sarah Harkness.  We’d also like to thank Bernie Rheinhardt for capturing the evening’s event on camera.


Before the tree was lit, the Cub Scouts placed a star on the tree representing each person who had passed away this year.  A moment of silence was observed in memory of the 13 Chichester residents.  If you weren’t able to join us this year, we hope to see you next year.




Registration forms for the Chichester Ski and Ride Program at Pat’s Peak are available for pick-up at CCS, or you can visit www.patspeak.com to register there as well.  The program will be on Fridays, beginning Feb. 18th, and will offer (5) sessions.  There will be no session the week of Feb. 28 - March 4th. 

Again this year, there will be bussing, leaving CCS on Friday afternoons.  Please visit the website or the school to get your registration as soon as possible.  Feel free to contact Lou Barker at [email protected] with any questions or should you like to volunteer to help.  See you on the slopes!



Chichester Grange meets only once during the month of January and February. The January meeting will be held on January 19 and will begin with a Soup Supper at 6 p.m.



The Chichester Old Home Day Committee has been on the go this year, first by celebrating Halloween in August.  Shortly following was the first annual “Trunk or Treating.”  There were 23 trunks for the evening providing candies and treats to 83 treaters.   The costume parade was marched by the youngest of residents to an adult size tin man. 

This night could not have been possible without the help from the Chichester Fire Department, the girls from the National Junior Honor Society serving cider and popcorn, and the very important lighting from Dale and Pauline Halquist.

We hope our community has enjoyed the activities provided for 2010.  We look forward to entertaining you again 2011.

Snowmobile Safety Classes Underway


Don’t wait until the last minute to sign up for snowmobile education classes offered across the state.  To operate a snowmobile in New Hampshire, any person age 12 or older, must have either a valid Motor Vehicle Driver’s License or have successfully completed an approved Off-Highway Recreational Vehicle (OHRV) Safety Education class taught by volunteer instructors trained by the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department.  Additionally, all children under the age of 14 must be accompanied by a licensed adult when operating a snowmobile, unless they are on property belonging to their parents, grandparents or guardians.


Classes are underway and are filling up fast, so don’t delay.  There is no charge for the classes, which are usually completed in a single day.  Parents are encouraged to attend along with their children.  For a current class schedule, visit http://www.ride.nh.gov.


“Snowmobiling is a great way for families to have fun exploring the great outdoors, but riders have a responsibility to obey the rules of the trails, to be courteous and - most of all - to ride safely,” said Captain John Wimsatt, who coordinates Fish and Game’s OHRV Education Program.


Many of the trained volunteer instructors teaching the safety classes are affiliated with one of the more than 100 snowmobile clubs in New Hampshire. 

 
“Joining a snowmobile club is a  great way to learn about safe riding and help maintain trails for your own and others’ enjoyment,” Wimsat said, noting that club membership also gives riders a $30 discount on snowmobile registration fees.


The New Hampshire Snowmobile Association (NHSA) and its member clubs have actively promoted safe and responsible riding since 1969.  NHSA members work with Fish and Game to manage over 7,000 miles of trails in New Hampshire and provide safety education to more than 2,500 children each year.  For more information on how to become involved with a snowmobile club, visit http://www.nhsa.com.


In addition to safety education, Fish and Game Conservation Officers will use innovative enforcement patrols to detect and apprehend impaired snowmobile operators and monitor for speed enforcement and modified exhaust regulations.  These ongoing initiatives will help to keep the state’s snowmobile trails safe for all outdoor enthusiasts during the upcoming season.


The Chichester Town Clerk has membership registration forms for the Bee Hole Beavers Snowmobile Club.  The office also is a Fish and Game Agent and any person can license their snowmobile at that office.

 


 

Out Of Your Attic Thriftshop News
Submitted By Carol Hendee


A true story: I met an old friend for tea and she too is retired and doing volunteer work with the Lions Club.  She mentioned there was a local family with two young  children who had nothing for Christmas.  I called our head Elf, Bonnie, and with elf magic, we gave the children snow suits, a set of clothes, socks, undies and a beautiful gift bag with toys and various items.  This is the e-mail I received today:


“I dropped off the items you and your friend gave for the family yesterday and they began to cry.  They were so appreciative no words could describe.  They loved everything.  Thank you so much for your efforts and generosity.  I left them with a big hug and a smile.  Merry Christmas and love to all.” 


This was from another Lions Club member that delivered the presents.  This is just one of the many good deeds that were done to bring a little Christmas joy to many families.  It all starts with the Out of Your Attic Thrift Shop, 345 Suncook Valley Hwy, Chichester- Tues. & Thurs. 8-4, Wed. 11-4 & Sat. 10-4.  You helped work the “elf” magic.
