We enjoy an art project or a craft and share juice and cookies. Moms are welcome to be readers as well. It is very valuable for children to learn to sit and listen to a story and to experience to wonder of a good book. Join us if you can.

Deer Hunting


Submitted By Evelyn Pike
Chichester Town Clerk/Tax Collector
Deer are New Hampshire’s most popular game animal, with a total of more than 80,000 deer in all areas of the state. The N.H. Muzzleloader season is a special attraction for hunters given its timing, with a start 11 days before the firearms season. Firearms season begins November 11, statewide. The muzzleloader license allows the holder of a regular NH hunting license to take a deer during the special muzzleloader deer season using the firearms deer tag.


Anyone applying to hunt with a firearm or bow must present a previous hunting or archery license or a certificate of completion from an approved hunter or bowhunter education course.


An archery license allows a hunter to hunt with a bow and arrow during the archery or any open season and to take one deer of either sex during the archery deer season. The archery season ends for any deer December 15th under Wildlife management B-M. It is legal to hunt deer with bow and arrow during the firearms deer season under a regular NH hunting license without an archery license and in compliance with the wildlife management unit restrictions for deer during the firearms deer season. No archery license is required for archers under 16 years of age but they must be accompanied by a properly licensed person at least 18 years of age. Archers must have their name and address on arrows. Minimum draw weight for deer is 40 lbs. The trophy deer program recognizes hunters in three categories, archery, firearm, and  muzzleloader who take whitetails weighing 200 lbs. or more. The current NH records are with archery 252 pounds, muzzleloader 277 pounds and with firearm 289.25. Trophy deer entry forms are in the new hunting digest.


Hunting licenses are valid til December 31 of each year. Purchase your licenses from the Chichester Town Clerk’s Office, you will find their office congenial and helpful. Please call 798-5808 for further information.

 


 

Out Of Your Attic Thrift Shop News


By Bonnie Champagne
When talking with Ruthi about what would we ever do if she couldn’t run the thrift shop, she told Daryl and I that everyone was replaceable. Well, she never told us it would take at least 6 people to do the job that she was doing! Ruthi is home from the hospital and we hope she is getting lots better. We all miss her very much.


Change is always difficult for people. Due to Ruthi’s illness, we have had to make some changes. We apologize that we are not able to do it like Ruthi did it. We are doing the best we can. If Ruthi is able to come back, which we sure hope she can, she can put things back to fit her liking.


Please mark your calendar for Oct. 24th. A special Ruthi appreciation event will be taking place at the Blueberry Hill Plaza where the Out of Your Attic Thrift Shop is located. More news will follow about this event. It will be a chance for all of us to give a little back to Ruthi as we raise some funds to go toward her medical expenses.


Come by to check out the specials at the Out of Your Attic Thrift Shop at 345 Suncook Valley Rd. in Chichester, Tuesday-Thursday, 8-4:00 and Sat., 10-4:00. Donations are cheerfully accepted during our hours of operation.


Please do not leave items when the shop is closed. If you would like to call ahead or have any questions, the shop number is 435-9339.

 


 

Chichester Grange


Chichester Grange met on Wednesday, October 7, with Master Anne Boisvert presiding. The clothes basket of new linens to be donated to Rape & Crisis Shelters by the State Grange Family & Community Committee is beginning to fill up. October 21 will be the last day to bring these items in. Another collection for State Grange is 2010 calendars. These are donated to nursing homes around the state.


The Chichester Grange exhibit at Deerfield Fair won a blue ribbon and prize money will be forthcoming. Hannah West gave a tour of the Grange Hall to Chichester third graders on September 21 as part of their visit to places of interest in their community.
Resolutions and other materials for the State Grange Annual Convention in late October have been received and will be discussed at the October 21 meeting. Wildlife sightings included geese landing at Shirley Water’s pond on Dover Road, flying ducks, gray squirrels, a small opossum, and an owl.


As the program for the evening Fred Carlson showed some hazelnuts that he had harvested on his property and talked about a hazelnut survey he was participating in from the Arbor Day Foundation. Most of the hazelnuts used in the United States are imported, and there is no reason why they cannot be grown in the US. Fred also brought in some pumpkins that he had grown to share and told some pumpkin stories gleaned during a pumpkin tour with some members of his church. The program concluded with a short skit by Mary West and Kevin Belval.


Refreshments for the evening were cider and donuts provided by Anne and Marty Boisvert.
