Duane Anctil, age 16, of Chichester was honored recently at the State House by Governor John Lynch and the Veteran’s Administration for his outstanding accomplishment of collecting more than one ton of food for the MASH (Veteran’s Assisted Supplement Housing) Program.


Duane started this for a community project last year at Pembroke Academy.

 

He continues to collect food for our veterans because of his admiration and appreciation for the willing sacrifices they made for all of us and our country.

The good work continues at the Attic. Many people have commented on how glad they are it is open when funds are low. Your generosity is keeping the store open. We have many items on the Wish List-such as items to help young couples set up housekeeping, and new parents provide for their child. We would greatly appreciate donations of strollers, cribs, high chairs and baby gates. Also needed are kids toys, any sports equipment, kitchen utensils, men’s sneakers (size 11-12) and if you are purging your old VCR tapes, we have requests for them, especially the children’s tapes. We are open Tues., Wed., and Thurs., 8-4 and Sat., 10-4 at 345 Suncook Highway, Chichester or call 435-9339 with any questions.

 


 

Letter


If there’s one thing the Sanborns enjoy as much as sticking our noses into town politics, it’s stuffing our faces with a delicious sweet treat. Luckily, a bounty of excellent homemade goodies lies within town limits at the Route 28 Bakery and Dairy Bar.  Situated next to Clark’s Grain Store, you’d be excused for zooming past without considering a visit, but don’t let the unadorned exterior of the building fool you. The food is fantastic, and well worth your time. To be certain, Laura Foss, who owns and runs the shop, knows what she’s doing.


Let’s get to the good stuff. Here are some items I highly recommend, the menu condensed to an all-star list of deliciousness:  coconut and chocolate cream pie, both with rich, substantial layers of filling; squash bread, with great light texture in a large loaf ready for toasting; pumpkin whoopee pies, with a generous amount of smooth cream cheese frosting sandwiched between soft sections of pumpkin cake;  and apple crisp, dense and loaded with apples cooked to just the right pliability, sitting under a thick hood of crispy streusel crumbles. I haven’t even touched on the huge pecan pie bar slabs, the pillowy raised donuts, moist cupcakes loaded with frosting, or the plates of iced Dutch apple cinnamon buns.


So here’s the deal:  stop in and try Route 28 Bakery! This isn’t just a plea for charity, asking you to support local business simply on principle.  Laura’s prices are reasonable bordering on cheap; the food is consistently delicious and made from scratch. Your schedule may be hectic and the shop a little out of your way, so call ahead (435-8081) and place an order for pickup if you need to. The Bakery deserves to be humming with business and I am confident if you grant it one try, many visits will follow.

Numbering Chichester
By Walter Sanborn


In 1994 the U. S. Congress adopted a new law called the Enhanced 911 System which required all towns and cities in the United States to name all streets or roads within its’ boundary.  Each building or lot on a street was to be given a street number at least 4 inches high posted on a building or mailbox visible from the road. This number was to be permanently used as a postal mailing address on property location for utility numbers and a 911 location for emergency use.


In 1995 Robert Hackney driving his pickup truck and I riding on the tailboard with a measuring wheel measured all the existing roads in Chichester. Starting at one end of a road we recorded the distance every 100 feet starting with number 1 on the left side and number 2 on the right side to the end of the road giving each lot or building a number. All roads have even numbers on the right and odd numbers on the left thus number 9 would be on the left side of the road and number 10 across the road on the right.


Previous Chichester residents received mail from Pittsfield, Epsom and Concord after the North Chichester Post Office was closed in 1972. 


Wishing our new addresses to identify Chichester again as a town we petitioned the Postal Department to issue the new numbers be used mailing address within the town boundary of Chichester.


On June of 1995 we received this letter from the U. S. Postal Office.


“This is to advise you that the Postal Service plans to adopt the street addresses assigned by the community of Chichester in conjunction with the 911 implementation. These new addresses will be adopted by the Postal Service effective July 22, 1995.


“As part of that change, Chichester residents who now have a Pittsfield mailing address will have their deliveries transferred to the Epsom Post Office.


“This change will allow you to use “Chichester NH 03234” in the last line of your mailing address. Your mail will be delivered by a Carrier originating from the Epsom Post Office. You will be able to pick up parcels and accountable mail at the Epsom Post Office. If you prefer, you can call the Epsom Post Office to request redelivery.


“We are pleased that we are able to make the necessary internal operational adjustments to provide our Chichester customers with a postal identity conforming to the community’s boundaries.”


Chichester asked that we might be reissued our old Zip Code 03258. We were informed that it had been abolished and no longer existed so we must use the Epsom Zip Code 03234.


Miracles do happen, and in July, 2001, James Adams who lived in Pittsfield became the Postmaster General of the area and notified the Town of Chichester that he was going to give the town its old Zip Code 03258 back. In 1995 at a ceremony at the Chichester Fire Station he presented the Town of Chichester a letter proclaiming that we were now Chichester, NH 03258.
