Out Of Your Attic Thrift Shop News

Submitted By Carol Hendee

 

Special request for a special little girl; we need Little Pet Shop figures, her Grandmother is trying to collect them for her, as that is what she loves.  If you have one or several, just drop them off with a note, “Not for Sale - but for sharing.” 

 

Thank you to everyone who brought their yard sale items to the Attic instead of the dump!  I know it was hot and needed a lot of effort, and it is truly appreciated that the items will be repurposed and have a nice new home!

 

Come see the remodeled building, just after Kelly Corner Rd (coming from Epsom) on Rte 28; Mon. 8-12; Tues. & Thurs. 8-4; Wed. 11-4 & Sat. 10-4. 247-7191.

 


 

Chichester Town Library News

 

Sign-up for 3-13 year olds for the Summer Reading Program, “Fizz, Boom, Read!” starts on Saturday, June 21st, with the first activity being a soldering workshop on Saturday, June 28th .  The workshop is limited to ten participants, so signing up is necessary. (Adults may fill in any vacancies and should express their interest to Lisa or Kayla at the Library.)  The second activity is a “Science Extravaganza” presentation by Science and Nature Explorations/Science Nature Boot Camp of Chichester, scheduled for Monday, June 30th at 6:30 p.m. at the Library.  What a great beginning to a summer of fun!

 

The second used book sale in June will be June 21st.  Thanks to all who make these sales both fun and successful.

 

The new LEGO Movie will be shown at 6:30 on June 21st at the Library for the young and young-at-heart.  

 

The Down Cellar Writers’ Group will meet on Monday, June 23rd at 7 p.m.  Local poets and writers are invited to come and share their work.

 

Interest in participating in a Teen Advisory Board to help plan activities and events for teens in Chichester is still being gathered. Please call the Library at 798-5613, e-mail at [email protected] or drop in at 161 Main Street to express that interest to Lisa or Kayla.  

 

Don’t forget the June raffle, which includes antique toy cars and tow truck, a book of “blueprints” of fun things to make and a gift certificate to the Longhorn Steakhouse.   Also, the summer raffles of two bicycles, each worth over $200.00, is ongoing.  One designed for women and the other for men, these bikes are great for riding on either streets or bike paths. 

 

The Library has greatly reduced price admission tickets to Canterbury Shaker Village.  The $6/adult and $3/child fee is a bargain to see how our Shaker neighbors lived and contributed to society.  Go to http://www.shakers.org/  for further information on visiting hours, special programs, etc.

 

Other generous offerings for families to have a great summer experiencing various aspects of New Hampshire life are tickets for free admission to the exhibit galleries at the McAuliffe-Shepard Discovery Center (attending the planetarium shows will be at an additional cost) and to the NH Historical Society Museum in Concord.  

 


 

Nancy Fraher Files For State Senate Candidacy

 

Life Long Educator And Public Education Advocate Set To Run For District 17 Seat

         

Nancy Fraher has officially filed as a candidate for State Senate in District 17. Joined by fellow incumbents and candidates, Nancy filed for her candidacy with the Secretary of State so that New Hampshire can continue to move forward. District 17 includes the towns of Raymond, Nottingham, Deerfield, Northwood, Strafford, Allenstown, Epsom, Pembroke, Pittsfield, Chichester, and Loudon.

 

“My experiences as a life-long citizen of this district and professional educator, in addition to my belief that the people of New Hampshire ought to be represented by a respectful and responsible political body, have inspired my decision to run for State Senate,” said Fraher. “I will bring a unique perspective to the Senate that will allow me to be a strong voice for the fair funding of public schools to Concord, to fight for collective bargaining rights for Granite State workers and defend the medical rights of women from the radical Republican agenda. 

 

“The people of District 17 have grown weary of the radical agenda put forth by their incumbent Senator,” continued Fraher. “Granite States expect their elected officials to approach legislation with independence and commons sense. I intended to be exactly that brand of Senator.”

 


 

“Backyard Farming” Lecture Set For June 

 

The Chichester Garden Club (CGC) and Chichester Agricultural Commission (AgCom) will present its last “Backyard Farming” lecture for the season on Wednesday, June 25, 2014, 7pm, at Grange Hall, 54 Main Street, Chichester, NH.  

 

Master Gardener Ann Lacroix will talk about “Organic Basic Gardening.”  The talk will cover the components and importance of pH, organic matter, cover crops, fertilizer, soil types and amendments to build and keep a good healthy soil base.  Lacroix will also incorporate IPM or organic integrated pest management practices such as crop rotation with the nine plant families, companion plants to diversify the garden, monitoring programs, and biological controls you can use to keep pests and fungus in check.

 

Master Gardener Ann Lacroix grew up surrounded by cow fields in the 1950’s in Connecticut, living on a dead end road boarding hundreds of acres of woods.  She grew up playing and enjoying the woods.  Ann’s parents were outdoor enthusiasts, always heading into the wilds to canoe, camp and fish.  The family had Springer spaniels used for hunting pheasant, woodcock and duck.  It was a wild time then; people today have a hard time finding remote places to enjoy nature and feel comfortable in the woods.  Lacroix states, “I brought my students every opportunity I could to teach them appreciation for nature.  So it was natural to embrace organic gardening methods from my background.” 

 

Both the Chichester Garden Club and AgCom promote gardening and farming through education and partnered to create this Backyard Farming lecture series.  To join the Garden Club, please contact [email protected] or Ann Davis 603-903-3891; meetings are held at 7pm, Town Library, the fourth Wednesday of the month.  The AgCom meets the third Wednesday of the month, 7pm, Town Library; all are welcome. 

 


 

Letter 

Thank You

 

Dear Voters of Chichester,

After having the honor of serving each of you in NH House of Representatives for six years, I will not be running this Fall due to work commitments.

 

People ask what I am most proud of and at the top of the list, is this past two years when I really saw us come together, Democrats and Republicans to do what is right for the people of NH.  We passed our budget with a true bipartisan vote in both the House and the Senate.  This was unprecedented! No one can remember a year that it was  not passed strictly along party lines - not THIS biennium, when it was nearly unanimous in both chambers, Republicans and Democrats working together!  I also appreciated when you let me know how you felt on a certain issue, either by email, phone, snail mail, Face Book, a visit or a chance encounter.  You thoughts were always in my head when it came time for me to pull the lever and vote on your behalf!  Thank you.

 

It is with great pleasure that I announce that Chichester’s Grange’s Citizen of the Year, Richard DeBold will be running for my seat. He will be joining Rep. Dianne Schuett and Dave Doherty, a retired counselor from PA. 

 

John Kennedy said “As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.”  That is my current  plan.  Thank you all!

 

Sally Kelly
