In case you haven’t
noticed, the playground at Carpenter Park is GONE. The Chichester
Youth Association and others are raising money to build a new
playground that meets today’s standards for safety. The goal is
$40,000. Details are on the Town website. If your small child will
need a place to play at Carpenter Park next summer, please donate
soon.

individual choices of the members. December’s selection is The
Emperor’s Guest: Coming of Age Behind Barbed Wire During WW II in
Indonesia, by Titia Bozuwato. This is a non-fiction book about
a seventeen year old whose father was an officer in the Dutch Navy,
stationed in the Dutch East Indies. When Japan invades the
country, all Westerners are placed in internment camps, thus leaning
into the title of the book.

policies and revising/updating them, as necessary. This is a
meeting open to anyone interested in the policies of the library.
Letter To The Editor
This is a short note
thanking Chief Clarke from Chichester Police Department, his
officers, all the officers from surrounding towns, including the
State Police who were there to help a family friend in need last
week.
The professionalism and
compassion from Chief Clarke was incredible. His drive from getting
the command station set, canines, and working with State Police, to
getting the helicopter in the air on such short notice was truly
appreciated.
It is this kind of
dedication that identifies the elite, and I am truly honored to let
you know that Chief Clarke and those men, are in this category.
I am a long-time resident
of Epsom and I say in general, you don’t really appreciate these
guys until you need them. Thank you all for what you do.
