Chichester Town Library News

 

There are still a few days left to drop off your homemade Valentines, or to make some, at the Library.  These Valentines are intended to brighten the day of our veterans at the New Hampshire Veterans Home in Tilton. 

 

Pre-schoolers and kindergarteners will be gathering tomorrow morning at 10:30 for their weekly crafts, stories and fun time.

 

The Book Club will meet tomorrow at noon.  New members are welcome.

 

“South Pacific” is our classic movie of the week.  Showing at 2 p.m. on Friday, this Rodgers and Hammerstein musical was based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning book by James Michener, “Tales of the South Pacific.”  It won ten Tony Awards, including Best Musical, Best Score and Best Libretto when it was on Broadway in 1949.  The film version and album were released in 1958.

 

The Board of Trustees will meet on Monday, February 8th at 3 p.m.  This open meeting welcomes the public.

 

The Adult and Teen Craft Group is also scheduled to meet on Monday.  They will meet at 6:30 p.m.

 

The NH Barn Dance with Dudley Laufman and accompaniment was a huge success, with approximately 90 people in attendance.  Thanks to all who came and enjoyed the music, fun and food; and, thanks to all who helped.  (We even found a number of adventurous people who enjoyed the haggis!  Thanks, Lisa, for pushing the boundaries for some of us.) Inspirational speaker Randy Pierce of 2020 Vision Quest will present a program on February 21st at 2 p.m. at the Grange.  This is a family-friendly program from which we can all benefit from Randy’s experiences.

 


 

Letter To The Editor

 

Editor,

To solve our problems, we need a president who knows how to reach out to Republicans and Democrats alike. Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton had that ability. Alas, Barack Obama does not. And we need a pragmatic president willing to compromise.

 

So far, six NH daily newspapers out of seven have endorsed Governor John Kasich, his record and his appeal to Republicans, Independents and Democrats.

 

Chairing the House Budget Committee, John Kasich worked with President Clinton to balance the federal budget four years running, repaying $560 billion of the national debt, or nearly ten percent, in the years 1998-2001. He cooperated with Clinton to reform welfare and the Pentagon.

 

As Governor of Ohio, John Kasich has worked with the legislature to balance the state budget, converting an $8 billion deficit into a $2 billion surplus, cutting taxes $5 billion. Ohio’s economy is roaring, with over 400,000 new jobs, and wages rising faster than the national average. John Kasich brought jobs home from China and Mexico. And he’s addressed the needs of those who struggle, the working poor, the mentally ill, the drug addicted, those without insurance.

 

During his eighteen years in Congress, John Kasich served on the Armed Services Committee. He is a national security expert right now, requiring no on-the-job training, unlike the other candidates for president.

 

Governors make better presidents than senators. Compare Reagan and Clinton with Obama, as proof. Among the governors in the race, John Kasich’s record is by far the best. That is why former Senator John E. Sununu, former Congressman Chuck Douglas and I, among many others, have endorsed him.

Letter

 

Tonight @ 6:00 PM, at school, there will be a public hearing on the proposed school budget.  As always, this budget has been a challenging one, especially when a large portion is based on our increasing enrollment at Pembroke Academy and other items which are fixed costs.

 

This year, we are testing having a Budget Advisory Group made up of volunteers from the community.  It is a diverse group including parents of children currently in school as well as retired tax payers.

 

The board is very thankful to this group, all seven of which, attended every school board meeting this fall & winter.  They presented new eyes to help (repeatedly) scrutinize the budget, ask tough questions and really explore various options to cut expenditures.

 

We’ve heard their input and now it is time to hear input from the rest of the community.  Please join us this evening as we come together to put the finishing touches on our school budget.

 

All input is appreciated and welcome.

 

Thank you.

Your School Board

Letter To The Editor

“Smooth Sailing” Isn’t Quite Accurate

 

I’d like to cite a quote from the 1/27/16 Concord Monitor Local/State section (page A3 and A4) article “Smooth Sailing at Hearing,” where I must quote, “...budget committee and road advisory committee... wished the proposal would have gone through the specialists in town who are charged with planning for roadways.”

 

So Mr. Debold, Mr. Paviliglio, and Mr. Jordan answer this: Isn’t the BOS responsible for relaying information brought up by residents at the BOS meetings to the proper town committees AND aren’t you responsible for guiding and encouraging residents to follow process by properly communicating that their issues need to be brought before said committees, whether it be Planning, Zoning, RAC, etc? 

 

Yes, you are.  So, to read in the Monitor that you “wished” anything is a crock... and you know it.  Save your “wishes” for your birthday. In the meantime, try honesty and accountability.  To hear from Budget Committee members and RAC members that this is “the first they’ve heard of a Hutchinson Road paving request”  is absolutely crazy since past discussions are clearly on record here:

 

BOS meetings:

ChichesterNH_Minutes/Past%20Selectmen’s%20Minutes/

 

Road Advisory Committee meetings:

http://www.chichesternh.org/Public_Documents/

ChichesterNH_RoadAdvComMin/

 

More to come on this subject next week where I will provide more background.  It’s important to let Chichester residents understand what’s happening with Hutchinson Road and how the situation is wasting your tax dollars year after year (for more than a decade now).

 

Respectfully,

Brenda Roukey
