Do you draw? Creative artwork is needed for the 2013 Chichester Town
Report. The Selectmen are looking for artwork for the front and back
covers, and other artwork will be included in the body of the report
as space permits. Chichester citizens of all ages are invited to
submit their perceptions of our great community. Artwork may be full
color or black and white, not larger than 8.5 X 11 inches. Submit
all artwork to the Selectmen’s Office before January 16. It may be
on paper or electronic in .jpeg or .pdf format. If you have
questions, please contact the Chichester Town Offices, 54 Main
Street, or call them at 798-5350.
Chichester Grange will meet only once during the month of January.
That meeting will be January 8, with a Soup Supper at 6 p.m. and the
meeting to follow. Plans will be made for the Organization Fair to
be held in early February.
If you are doing a written report for the 2013 Chichester Town
Report, the deadline is January 10. Financial and statistical
reports are due on January 23.
Out Of The Attic Thrift Shop News
Submitted By Carol Hendee
A GREAT BIG THANK YOU goes to Dominicks Restaurant, our neighbors
across Rte 28.
They donated a very large box of toys to be passed out to children
as they came into the store!
That created many smiles!! Also, thank you to the “lights guy.”
Many of you have strings of colorful Christmas lights from his
generous donations of many strings of lights he had collected over
the years. Thank you to everyone who donated items to the Attic
this year. It was a good one with so many articles of clothing,
kitchen items, books, cd’s, dvd’s, etc. all passing from one house
to find use again in another. We hope to see many of the familiar
faces and new ones in 2014! Happy New Year! We are 5 miles from
the Epsom Circle, Rte 28 north-Mon. 8-12; Tues. & Thurs. 8-4; Wed.
11-4 & Sat. 10-4. 247-7191.
2014 NH Hunting And Fishing Licenses Available
The Chichester Town Clerk has 2014 Hunting and Fishing Licenses
available for purchase. Get yours early and be set for outdoor
adventure from ice fishing to bagging your deer next fall. Licenses
are good from January 1 through December 31, 2014.
For State residents, an annual Freshwater Fishing License is $35;
the Basic Hunting License is $24.50 and a Combo Hunting and
Freshwater Fishing License is $48.50. Residents can buy a one day
Freshwater Fishing License for $10.00. Coastal anglers need an $11
NH Saltwater Recreation Fishing License, if older than the age of
16.
Beginning in 2014, Regular Hunting and Fishing Licenses will be
computer generated. Making it much easier and faster since
information will already be in the system. A $3 transaction fee will
be charged per license form. Chichester was fortunate to be a pilot
town using the new system since August and the transition went very
well.
When you get your license from the Chichester Town Clerk’s office,
pick up the new 2014 Freshwater Fishing and Saltwater Digest. Also
available is the 2014 Hunting Digest along with the OHRV/Snowmobile
Digest.
Letter
I would like to bring your attention to a situation with the
Chichester Police Department. My name is Eddie Torres. I live in
Pittsfield. At the Pittsfield Police Department we have what is
called a “call box.” This “call box” is used if a police officer is
off on a call or if after business hours and the station is closed.
This “call box” makes sure if ever an emergency, you can get help
ASAP.
At 1:30 AM, I ran out of gas and decided to go to the Chichester
Police Department and use their “call box.” After making it there by
foot that late night, I found out the police were nowhere to be
found. I had no way to contact them. If this situation were an
emergency (example: woman in need or in an accident), I or anyone
else would or could ultimately be in danger!
The Town of Chichester and its visitors should always feel safe...
and I know that night/morning, I did not feel safe at all.
I would please ask anyone who has children or anyone they care about
to use their voices to get Chichester to fix this problem. Not
everyone has cell phones, so 911 is not always an option for
everyone.
Eddie Torres
