Looking forward to spring already? Come to the Chichester Town Library and see the variety of floral photographs by Diane Morey. These pictures were taken on a family visit to Martha’s Vineyard during the summer of 2011. Diane has enjoyed using cameras for more than 20 years. Enjoy pictures of day lilies, roses, a dahlia, a petunia, a daisy and look forward to flowers returning to Chichester in the spring!

Chichester Conservation Commission

 

The Conservation Commission will host a program on open space protection on November 10 at 7 pm at the Grange Hall. Representatives of the Five Rivers Conservation Trust (5RCT) will be available to answer questions on a range of topics related to conservation easements, grant support of local efforts, and federal tax implications for the landowner.

 

As we have noted in previous articles, the Town of Chichester currently has about 350 acres of open lands protected through conservation easements or deed covenants. An easement is a legal agreement by which a landowner donates or sells rights to develop the property for residential or commercial purposes and a qualified conservation organization oversees the terms of the agreement. The landowner continues to own and manage the land, and continues to pay local taxes, although possibly at a lower rate. Qualified conservation organizations include conservation commissions, state agencies such as the NH Department of Fish and Game, and the Society for Protection of NH Forests.

 

Through conservation easements, landowners typically retain the right to mange the land for agriculture, forestry, non-commercial outdoor recreation, and wildlife habitat. The landowner sometimes puts a conservation easement on only a portion of the property in order to retain development options on the rest of the land. The landowner controls the terms of the easement, and other specific exemptions can be included in the easement agreement.

 

The Five Rivers Conservation Trust (5RCT), a qualified local land trust, oversees 40 conservation properties totaling 2,300 acres in Concord and surrounding towns. Representatives of 5RCT will relate first-hand accounts of working with local conservation groups and financial support organizations to protect valuable open spaces in the Concord area.

 

Many details of protecting land through conservation easements are more complicated than can be described here. We encourage interested landowners to attend the November 10 meeting to learn more.

Chichester Library News

 

The Chichester library is launching a six month experiment. A private donor has provided the library with a small selection of Eurogames, which library patrons may now borrow.

 

Eruogames, also known as German Games, are boardgames aimed at adults and older children. As the name suggests, many of the games were designed in Europe, and they boast some interesting advantages over typical American fare.

 

Components of the games tend to be beautifully designed and durably constructed. Playing pieces may be of wood, stone, metal or glass. Artwork is usually beautifully executed. Everything is designed to provide both aesthetic pleasure and years of wear.

 

Eruogames typically allow multiple paths to victory, accommodating players of differing personality type, age, experience and reasoning style. Victory itself often has more than one definition, and all players generally remain in the game throughout the game. Well-designed rules provide outstanding strategic depth and player choice, rather than a random roll of the dice. Most of these games offer a different experience every time they are played.

 

The very popular "Settlers of Catan", for example, does this literally. The physical game board is randomly arranged every time it is set up.

 

Eruogames tend to be flexible. Playing time runs from 30 to 120 minutes, and many games are designed to play equally well with pairs, odd numbers or large groups.

 

Eruogames tend to have economic or historic themes. In these games the theme is a framework for the mechanics, and the mechanics will both challenge the mind and entertain the heart.

 

Drop by the library, pick up a game and schedule a family game night this week. You won’t be sorry.
