April is the month for licensing your dog at the Town Clerk’s office. Dog licenses are due April 30. The cost is $7.50 for an altered dog and $10.00 for unaltered. Senior citizens (65) have a special rate of $2 for first dog only.   Make sure your dog’s rabies shots are up to date.

 


 

The members of the Chichester Fire Department would like to offer our sincerest thanks to the citizens of Chichester. Your overwhelming support in purchasing the new Fire Engine, as well as your willingness to save money towards the future needs of your Fire Department is greatly appreciated.

 

A special thank-you also goes to the Board of Selectman, the CIP Committee, and the Budget Committee. Without everyone’s willingness to work as a team towards a common goal, the steps to move our town and Fire Department forward would not be possible. Thank-you all and have a safe and happy 2012.

 


 

The matching grants which will supply a large part of the funding for the Carpenter Park Project need to be matched with donations from citizens and businesses. Those wishing to donate money, time, equipment, or materials to the project are encouraged to visit the donation web page http://www.webharrison.net/carpenter-park.

 

Keep your eye on Carpenter Park. Tree removal has begun and will be continuing in April. The park will be closed during the hours that logging is in progress, and the parking lot will be used as a staging area for the logging operations.

 


 

Do you want fireworks on Old Home Day? If so, you will need to support them financially. The Old Home Day budget was cut in half this year, so instead of raising $1,500 toward the cost of fireworks the committee must now raise the whole $3,500. Make checks to: Chichester Old Home Day and send them to Carol Frekey-Harkness, Treasurer, 97 Suncook Valley Road, Chichester, NH 03258.

 


 

Out Of Your Attic Thrift Shop News

Submitted By Carol Hendee

 

I was cleaning out some drawers and came across a hand-written memo from 6 years ago. It was about how the Attic operated.

 

Sometimes folks pass judgment on how thrift shops handle their money. All our money, after rent, heat, and "bare" necessities such as water and storage bags, goes to help folks.

 

Perhaps it’s a baby receiving a new layette kit because the Mom has nothing. It could be a homeless person under a bridge receiving one of our bags packed with hygiene items (towels, socks, toothpaste and brush, shampoo and deodorant). Sometimes folks have suffered a loss in a fire and need kitchen supplies, etc.

 

The rest of the memo is missing, but it is amazing that the focus of the Attic today is the same as it was from the start. Thank you for your support all these years.

 

We’re at 345 Suncook Valley Highway, Chichester. We are open Mon. 8-12, Tues. and Thurs. 8-4, Wed. 11-4 and Sat. 10-4. You can call us at 247-7191.

 


 

The Carpenter Park Enhancement Project

Submitted By Richard DeBold

 

Following approval of the Carpenter Park warrant article at Town Meeting on March 17th, the Chichester Parks and Recreation Commission and Conservation Commission are moving forward with the first steps of the Carpenter Park enhancement project.

 

The first work that needs to occur is the cutting of trees in the areas of the planned perimeter path, and the expanded community area and recreational field. This timber removal is being combined with thinning of trees elsewhere on the Park property, both uphill of the recreation fields and behind the Town’s salt shed across Bear Hill Road, as recommended by the Town’s forester. The tree thinning will take a large number of the larger trees as the forester has noted that many of the pines are in poor condition due to "pine decline," a little understood degenerative disease caused by a variety of stress factors. The thinning will save as many of the hardwood trees as possible. These should thrive to produce a much healthier forest stand for the future.

 

The clearing and thinning activities are planned to begin in earnest the first week of April, and be completed on the recreational side of the Park in less than two weeks. The work is moving ahead quickly to take advantage of the current dry weather, to complete the work prior to the games of youth baseball and softball season, and to allow construction of the perimeter trail, which needs to be complete by July.

 

The Park will be closed to the public from 9 am until 4 pm for safety reasons during the timber operations. Use of the main parking lot will be limited for the duration of the timber activities. Visitors using the Park during its open hours of 4 pm until 9 pm will be given further instructions on alternate parking areas. Successful construction in an active Park can only happen with close coordination with Park users and as such, both the Chichester Youth Association and the Old Home Day Committee are actively involved in the planning and scheduling of the enhancement project.

 

The first major enhancement constructed at Carpenter Park will be a half mile perimeter trail providing universal access, fitness opportunities, and linking major sections of the Park. More detailed information concerning the actual construction of the perimeter trail will be provided soon through newspapers and the Town’s website since much of the work of the enhancement project will be performed by volunteers and supported by donations.

 

Those wishing to donate money, time, equipment, or materials to the project are encouraged to visit the informational and donation web page http://www.webharrison.net/carpenter-park.

 

Other than trail construction, the major site work at the Park will not occur until summer. The scale of the work requires an Alteration of Terrain (AOT) permit from the State Department of Environmental Services. Preparation and review of the permit will likely allow major work to occur in early summer; also the end of baseball and softball activities.

 

Thanks to all for your support as we work to improve Carpenter Park for everyone.
