Stroke And Osteoporosis Screenings Coming To Chichester, NH


Residents living in and around the Chichester, NH community can be screened to reduce their risk of having a stroke or bone fracture.  Chichester Congregational Church will host Life Line Screening on May 14, 2011.  The site is located at 153 Main Street in Chichester.


Four key points every person needs to know:
• Stroke is the third leading cause of death and a leading cause of permanent disability
• 80% of stroke victims had no apparent warning signs prior to their stroke.
• Preventive ultrasound screenings can help you avoid a stroke.
• Screenings are fast, noninvasive, painless, affordable and convenient.


For more information regarding the screenings or to schedule an appointment, call 1-800-697-9721 or visit our website at www.lifelinescreening.com.  Preregistration is required.


Screenings identify potential cardiovascular conditions such as blocked arteries and irregular heart rhythm, abdominal aortic aneurysms, and hardening of the arteries in the legs, which is a strong predictor of heart disease.  A bone density screening to assess osteoporosis risk is also offered and is appropriate for both men and women.  Many sites offer finger-stick blood tests to check for cholesterol and glucose.


Packages start at $139. All five screenings take 60-90 minutes to complete.  Life Line Screening was established in 1993, and has since become the nation’s leading provider of preventive screenings.

 


 

Out Of Your Attic Thrift Shop News
Submitted By Carol Hendee


If you have access to a computer, please check out the new website for Baby Threads at www.babythreadsofnh.com. A wonderful software company set it up for us for free.  When they learned that all our workers are volunteers and all donations go 100% to the charity, they were more than willing to set up this wonderful site.


You can actually see the ladies sewing the bags that are given to new mothers as they leave the hospital and many of the other workers.  It is easy to navigate and fun to watch.  You will see what is needed; it may say March, but the needs haven’t changed, just increased for April.


As you change your wardrobe from winter to spring, we will gladly accept any winter items you just do not want to store and any spring/summer items that you’re sure you won’t wear, we will find someone who will!  If you’re just not going to setup that patio furniture and hate to dump it, we will find a nice home for it at a lovely lake.
Stop in at 345 Suncook Valley Hwy, Chichester, Tues. and Thurs. 8-4, Wed. 11-4 and Sat. 10-4.  We appreciate your business.

 


 

2011 Spring Gobbler Season


The spring Gobbler Season opens Tuesday, May 3rd, and runs through Tuesday, May 31st, statewide.  The Seventh Annual NH Youth Turkey Hunt weekend takes place on Saturday, April 30th and Sunday, May 1st.  Youth took 541 turkeys in 2010. Youth must be accompanied by a properly licensed adult age 18 or over.  The adult may not carry a firearm or bow and arrow.  Contact the Fish and Game for further questions at 271-3211.


Turkeys are doing well in NH in part because the state enjoyed sunny, dry conditions during the spring and summer months last year.  This contributed to a good turkey hatch and survival rate.  Hunters are likely to take a higher percentage of 1 year old gobblers during the 2011 season.


In spring of 2010 hunters harvested 3,699 turkeys.  Fish and Game estimate over 4,000 will be taken this spring.


All hunters should keep in mind some key safety guidelines for turkey hunting:


• Always positively identify your target.
• Never assume that calls and movement indicate the presence of a turkey.  Hunters could be using turkey calls or decoys.
• Never stalk a turkey.
• Avoid clothes with colors of red, white and blue and black, as these are the colors of the male turkey.
• Be seen!  Turkey hunters should always wear a blaze orange hat or vest as they enter or leave the hunting area.


All wildlife managements units in the State are open in the spring season.  A license allows the taking of one gobbler during the spring season and one turkey of either sex during the fall archery season or during the fall shotgun season.


All residents and non-residents can obtain a NH Turkey License from the Chichester Town Clerk’s Office.

 


 

Chichester Grange


Chichester Grange met on April 20th, upstairs in the Grange Hall. It was Family and Community Night and time to judge the Baking Contest, which was Whoopie Pies this year. The winner was Mary West. She will represent Chichester Grange in the Suncook Valley Pomona baking contest on May 15th.


During the business meeting, plans were finalized for the Awards Night on May 5th. It will soon be time to spruce up Memorial Park to have it looking good for the Memorial Day celebration planned for May 30th. There was also considerable discussion of what can be done to make Chichester Grange more visible in the community with the goal of attracting new members. Planning was begun for a pumpkin carving/decorating event in October.


Mary West presented the Family and Community Night program on the topic of whoopie pies. There was a history of where whoopie pies originated, both Maine and Pennsylvania claiming the honor. A home-made memory game had members trying to match cards with ingredients and tools used to make whoopee pies.


The evening concluded with refreshments of whoopie pies and fruit. The next meeting will be the Awards Night on May 4th at 7 p.m. in the downstairs hall.

 


 

Chichester Historical Society Meetinghouse to Town House Part IV
Submitted By Walter Sanborn


In my last article at the 1843 town meeting in May the indecision of the voters left the matter of using the old meetinghouse or building a new town house in the hands of the selectmen.


We now move to the year 1844 to act on this matter.  Rather than relate to former history I am going to copy articles directly from the minutes of the town clerk as recorded in the town records.


To the inhabitants of the town, you are to meet at the old meetinghouse in Chichester on Tuesday the twelfth day of March at nine o’clock in the forenoon to act on the following article(s):


Article 9 of warrant:
To see if the town will vote to convert the old Congregational Meetinghouse in said Town into a town house to be located on the lot of town land on which said house now stands, and if not on said lot of town land agreeably to a petition of Jeremiah Lane and others.


There is no record of this petition or of the results of the vote but apparently nothing was done.


The next meeting I find posted is on the Seventh day of October 1845 by the Selectmen of Chichester and reads as follows:


1845
State of New Hampshire
To the inhabitants of the Town of Chichester in the County of Merrimack in said State qualified to vote in town affairs.


You are hereby notified to meet at the center School house so called, in school District No. 6 in said Chichester on Monday the twenty seventh day of October instant at one o’clock in the afternoon to act upon the following subjects, viz:


1. To choose a moderator to preside in said meeting.
2. To see if the town will vote to reconsider so much of a vote at a meeting of said town, holden on the 23rd of September, 1845 “to build and locate a town house” as relates to the location of said house and if the town so vote to reconsider.
3. To see if the town will vote to locate said house some where on the site of town’s land on which the old Congregational meeting house now stands and to make the necessary restrictions as to the expense of the house agreeably to a petition of Stephen Perkins Jr. and if the town do not vote to locate said house of the afore said spot, then,
4. To see if the town will vote to locate said house on some convenient and suitable spot on the Canterbury road, (so called,.)
5. To see if the town will vote to raise a sufficient sum of money to build said town house.


Given under our hand and seal this Seventh day of October in the year of our Lord Eighteen Hundred and Forty Five.


Hosea C. Knowlton 
Malachi Haines
{Selectmen of Chichester}


At a legal town meeting duly notified and holden at Chichester, County of Merrimack on Monday the twenty seventh day of October in eighteen hundred and forty five, the legal voters of said town vote and by ballot:


October 27, 1845
I, George S. Mason moderator to preside in said meeting, who present took the oath of office prescribed by law.


To the Inhabitants of said town, legal voters therein present and said by major vote,

 

Motion being made to reconsider a vote passed at a legal Town meeting of September 23rd 1845, relating to the location of a Town house it was voted in the negative.


Also to dispense with the third article in the warrant.


And to reconsider the two last votes,


And to reconsider the vote passed at a meeting of said Town holden September of 1845 relating to the location of a Town house.


Petition being made to locate a Town house where the old Congregational Meeting house formerly stood. It was decided in the negative.


And to locate said Town house on the Northerly side of Canterbury road and Easterly of land near the Methodist Meeting house on land owned by David M. Carpenter, provided said David M. Carpenter give said town of Chichester a sufficient quantity of said land for the same and to raise the sum of Five Hundred Dollars to defray the expense of building the said Town house.


And next to adjourn the meeting.

 

A true record attest Edmund Langmaid, Town Clerk.
