Lauren Jerome Of Chichester Receives Nurse’s Pin At Saint Anselm
College’s Nursing Pinning Ceremony
Lauren Jerome, of Chichester, NH, a senior nursing major at Saint
Anselm College, received a Saint Anselm College nurse’s pin at the
2012 pinning ceremony in the Abbey Church on April 28.
It was a special day for Jerome, who received a pin featuring
elements of the college’s official seal and the symbol of a lamp
referring to Psalm 119:105, "Your word is a lamp for my steps and a
light for my path." Dr. Sharon George, dean of nursing, pinned her
with the Saint Anselm pin to wear for the entirety of her career.
The pinning ceremony is a celebration of a student’s completion of
Saint Anselm College’s respected nursing program and symbolizes
preparedness to serve as a compassionate caregiver in the healthcare
setting.
Jerome will receive a Bachelor of Science in Nursing on May 19 at
Saint Anselm College’s commencement ceremonies.

Chichester Firefighters Assoc. Thermal Image Camera Fund Drive
The Chichester Firefighters Association wishes to announce it is
launching a fund drive for the purchase of a new thermal imaging
camera for the Chichester Fire-Rescue Department.
A thermal imager is a device that detects infrared heat waves and
transfers them into a viewable picture. Because infrared radiation
is not blocked by smoke, firefighters can use thermal imagers to see
through smoke, enabling them to find victims faster, identify the
seat of the fire earlier, and detect structural dangers that could
put them at risk. They can also be used outside to assist in the
search for missing persons.
At this time, the Fire-Rescue Department does have one thermal
imaging camera in-service. This camera was donated to the Town many
years ago by the Ladies Benevolent Society. Although still useful,
it lacks many of the advancements of new technology, and is quite
bulky. A new camera will be more "user friendly" and we will still
use the older camera for an additional interior firefighting team.
The cost for a new thermal imaging camera will be approximately
$10,000. Over the course of the next several months the firefighters
association will be undertaking various fund raising initiatives
toward reaching this goal. Our first fund raiser will be a Town Wide
Yard Sale to be held on Saturday, June 2nd from 8am-2pm. Spots will
be available at the lower Town Hall parking lot, or you may have
your yard sale placed on a Town of Chichester map. There is no cost
for either, but we are suggesting a donation to the Thermal Imager
Fund.
For more info on Yard Sale specifics contact Paul Sanborn at
608-6252, or sign up at the fire station.
If you would like to make a direct donation to the thermal imager
fund, you may drop it at the fire station, or mail it to: Chichester
Firefighters Assoc., 22 Main Street, Chichester, NH 03258.
