Chichester Town Library News

 

A reminder to aspiring writers:  Joe Smiga, a published New Hampshire writer and blogger, is coming to the Library on March 13th at 7 p.m. to present a program on how to get books published. There will be an interactive discussion with the participants on how they started writing, and how they develop the content. What genre have they chosen and how do they get through writer’s block?  Who should do the editing and what are the next steps? The Down Cellar Writers group is helping to facilitate this program.

 

With St. Patrick’s Day around the corner, the March raffle of the Lucky Basket o’ Green would be a perfect gift for someone else—or for yourself.  Come in to participate in the raffle and to enjoy the art work of Eleanor Graham and Ralph Vinson, featured in a previous edition. Hope to see you at the Library!

 

Save the date for a soldering workshop, scheduled for Saturday, March 22nd at 9:30 a.m.  This workshop was requested based on the book Zero to Maker, which focuses on repairing items that might need a bit of solder to get them working again, instead of just throwing them away.  Brad Towle has graciously agreed to lead the workshop.  There is a sign-up sheet at the Library for interested participants.

 

Thanks to all who supported the recent Book Sale.  The next one is planned for April.

 


 

Letter To The Editor

 

As a 37-year resident of Chichester, I was very proud last year to participate with residents “approving $373,000 worth of improvements of the town’s most deteriorated roads.”  This was part of the 20-year Plan to reconstruct approximately 1.2 miles/year of road recommended by Road Advisory Committee (RAC) at Town Meeting.

 

Many spoke favorably of $373,000 and the 20-year Plan to maintain our roads, being $186,500 more than Selectmen recommended.  After all, how can we expect to safely live, work and play here?  How can we expect businesses to flourish here without a well-maintained transportation infrastructure?

 

RAC accomplished their goal - upgrading the proposed road segments and under budget.  Kudos to RAC and Road Agent.  A job well done!

 

Yet again, this year, our municipality does not recommend the requested amount, reducing it by $155,000.  This is NOT acceptable!  We cannot afford a 60-80 year repaving cycle; it will cost less if we pay as we go.

 

RAC was established by townspeople at the 2005 Chichester Town Meeting to prepare a written long- term proposal for roads.  In 2012 & 2013, the Committee met often and worked diligently to assess road conditions throughout the town to prepare the required annual Road Management Plan.  This information was entered into a Road Surface Management System which allowed the committee to further assess the immediate and long-term needs for road repair.  Therefore, no one knows the condition of our roads better than the members of RAC.  This being said, it would behoove Chichester residents to heed RAC’s recommendations so all roads in our town may be brought to an average or better condition and keep them so for their average 20-year life span.  

 

We need favorable representation for the much needed road reconstruction - OUR transportation infrastructure is at risk.

 

Ann Davis
