The Ballad Lives!

Singing the Roots of Narrative Art

Chichester Town Library

Chichester Perrault.jpg

John Perrault, poet, balladeer and former Portsmouth Poet Laureate will help usher in Poetry Month by presenting a program of traditional and original ballads, along with New England story songs, at the Chichester Grange Hall, May 2nd, 2014, beginning at 6:30 p.m.    Drawing from a repertoire that ranges from “Bonnie Barbara Allen,” to the Maine woods song, “Canada-I-O,” to his own “Ballad of Louis Wagner,” John follows the evolution of the traditional ballad from the mountains and moors of the British Isles to the Southern Mountains and Northern border of North America.

 

John Perrault is the author of Jefferson’s Dream (Hobblebush Books, 2009); Here Comes the Old Man Now (Oyster River Press, 2005); and The Ballad of Louis Wagner (Peter Randall Publisher, 2003).  His poems have appeared in The Christian Science Monitor, Commonweal, Poet Lore, the Salmon Poetry Anthology Dogs Singing, and elsewhere.   He is a touring artist for the New England Foundation for the Arts and NH State Council on the Arts, and a presenter for the NH Humanities Council.

 

John was a co-recipient of the Rosalie Boyle/Norma Farber Award, 2008, from the New England Poetry Club; a finalist in the 2007 Comstock Review Poetry Contest; and a past recipient of the Virginia Prize from The Lyric.  He was poet laureate of Portsmouth, New Hampshire, 2003-2005.

 

John will also sing selections from Rock and Root, now available from CD Baby: www.cdbaby.com/cd/johnperrault. Copies of John’s books and recordings will be available for purchase.  

 

The public is invited to this free event, which is sponsored by the Chichester Town Library, in conjunction with the New Hampshire Humanities Council.  For additional information, contact the Chichester Town Librarian, Lisa Prizio, at 603-798-5613.

The Canterbury Road Tree Project

Reminds Us Of Arbor Day

Chichester Heritage Commission has announced a new twist for its Canterbury Road Tree Project.  Unless you join the Arbor Day Foundation for free trees, it can be a costly endeavor for those who want to plant a tree every Arbor Day.  What kind of tree, where to plant, when to plant, how deep to plant, who to take care of it are a few of the concerns.  With this year’s April 25 Arbor Day quickly approaching, perhaps this year you don’t need to plant a tree.  Through the Chichester Heritage Commission, you can now honor a friend or celebrate the life of a loved one. 

 

Last spring several of the 75+ year old trees were removed along Canterbury Road due to safety issues.  To help fill in the spots left by felled maples, Commission member and project coordinator Bob McAnney supervised the planting of four 8’ salt-resistant Fall Fiesta sugar maples and one 9’ Green Mountain maple.  The saplings were supported and trunk protection provided for a good start.  Bob and wife Faye watered and tended the young trees throughout the summer.  The cost of all of these trees and seedlings were funded by private donations to the Canterbury Road Tree Fund and no public town money has been used.  The planting of maple trees reflects the Commission’s commitment to sustaining our natural landscape heritage. 

 

For the second year in a row, the Canterbury Road Tree Project is underway to replace more lost maples.  Trees have been ordered; and as soon as feasible, the new trees can be planted. 

 

Any donation is appreciated to help continue this project; upon receipt of your donation, you will receive a certificate acknowledging your generosity and participation. 

 

Making a $50 - $100 donation to the Canterbury Road Tree Project will not only help restore the natural scenic beauty of tree-lined Canterbury Road, you may choose to receive your certificate:  in your name, In Honor of a friend/family member or In Memory of a loved one.  What a wonderful way to preserve the growing need for a natural resource, enhance the rural community character while honoring someone for the next 100 - 200 years! 

 

In 2010-2011 the Chichester Heritage Commission expressed interest in restoring Canterbury Road’s natural heritage.   After careful study, the Commission identified 27 maple trees in peril, needing to be removed and replaced with new disease-resistant stock.  Project coordinator Bob McAnney assessed the old maples, researched replacement trees with various nurseries and landscape companies to choose the best options.  With the help of Fayth Noyes of Pittsfield, the signature first-planting trees were transported to prepared holes on site.  In addition, 24 NH State Forest Nursery sugar maple seedlings were planted by Commission member Faye McAnney at a plot on her Pumpkin Hill Farm in north Chichester.  After some more growth, they will be used for future reforestation.

 

Chichester Heritage Commission regularly meets 7pm, Town Library, 54 Main Street, on the third Thursday of each month; and the public is welcome.

 


 

Archeus Chiropractic Welcomes Dr. Doughty

 

Dr. Joe Tepper and Archeus Chiropractic would like to thank the Suncook Valley for two wonderfully successful years and also welcome Dr. Chelsea (Duprey) Doughty to the practice!  Dr. Doughty has returned to her hometown of Concord since obtaining her childhood goal of becoming a chiropractor, graduating as salutatorian from Palmer College of Chiropractic, Port Orange, Florida.  She is excited to serve the greater capital community that has treated her so well. 

 

Experiencing her first adjustment just 4 days after birth, Dr. Doughty can personally attest to the positive effects a healthy nervous system has on growth, development and function.  As such, she has a special place in her heart for pediatric patients from newborns on up.  During her collegiate volleyball career, chiropractic was the first intervention she sought to help with low back pain and sport related injuries, as it is an effective, non-invasive treatment.  Her goal is to educate patients to understand and embrace the positive health benefits afforded through regular chiropractic care coupled with proper whole food nutrition.  

 

While earning her doctorate, Dr. Doughty’s ambition was to study techniques that would analyze and address the body as a whole.  Dr. Doughty has since pursued further education in and primarily applies Sacro-Occipital Technique (SOT™).  SOT™ focuses on specific body indicators to guide the doctor in choosing an evolved treatment protocol that will address the patient’s major area(s) of dysfunction.  Necessary corrections are made with the least amount of force needed to create change, making SOT™ a beneficial treatment for people of all ages and conditions.    

 

If you are ready to take a holistic and proactive role in your family’s health please call to schedule a free consultation or initial appointment (603) 736-5515. Visit us at archeuschiropractic.com and find us on Facebook: Chelsea Doughty, D.C. and Archeus Chiropractic.
