Thanks Mr. Kenneally for a job well done here in Chichester. I know it was not an easy job, but I appreciate the fact that I could always depend upon you and your crew to keep the roads safe for travel at all hours of the day and night.


I am pleased that we have our own town road crew, and I trust that this same consistent high quality service to which we have been accustomed to will continue with our newly elected Road Agent. It is well documented that utilizing contracted services for snow removal, grading, and excavating are costly and far from reliable. We here in Chichester have been blessed for some time by having an experienced full time Road Agent fully qualified to operate the town owned equipment such as the grader, excavator, plows, and bucket loader, as well as recognizing not only the financial but the environmental ramifications of purchasing quality supplies.


I would also like to thank Mr. Mara for suggesting in his Letter To The Editor (Suncook Valley Sun dated 3/4/09), that townspeople read the minutes posted on the town’s website, chichesternh.org. It was truly enlightening to see what the former Road Agent had to endure simply in order to do his elected job. It is a wonder that he could have maintained such consistent high quality work in light of such apparent sniping and backbiting from the Selectmen. In the private sector, I would hazard a guess that such treatment would be considered workplace harassment, subject to legal recourse.


Congratulations Mr. Plunkett on your win. I certainly hope that you will be treated with more respect than Mr. Kenneally was.


See you on the roads !!
Bette Bogdan

I would like to thank David Kenneally for the fine job that he and his crew have done here in Chichester for many years as our Road Agent.


I appreciate the fact that you and your crew were out many holidays, weekends and so many long, late nights keeping our roads safe.


Congratulations to Jim Plunkett for his win. Mr. Plunkett, if I may make a suggestion? After reading the Selectmen’s minutes at chichesternh.org, I would suggest that before every Tuesday night Selectmen’s meeting, you stop by Chief Clarke’s office and request a Kevlar vest. It will help deflect all those knives that will be tossed at you by the Selectmen when your back is turned.

Chichester School District Meeting


On the 30th Anniversary of her move to Chichester, Sally Kelly, School District Moderator, opened the meeting promptly at 9 a.m. After the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag, Principal Pamela Stiles gave her report on the state of the school. Again this year Chichester Central is among the finalists in the Excellence in Education program.


School Board Chairman John Porier gave an overview of the budget, which had been kept to bare bones this year in keeping with the national economic situation. The small number of students in the Grade 2 class and a change in state guidelines for class size will result in a single classroom  for next year’s grade three and one less classroom teacher to pay for. Art, Music, Spanish, Physical Education, and the Library will be cut back from three hours per week to 2.5 hours, resulting in additional savings. Also, there will be only one bus taking high school students to Pembroke Academy next year. The number of student riders does not justify more than one bus, but the bus route will have to be modified for fewer stops to keep the ride to a reasonable amount of time.


The reduction in the Spanish program means that Spanish will not be offered to students in Grades one, two, and three. Early elementary school is a prime time for learning languages, and an attempt was made to restore money to the budget  to keep the Spanish program at its current level. However, the motion failed. A similar motion to keep two classrooms at the third grade level also was defeated.


The budget passed as written at $5,374,742.10. The meeting closed at 10:50 a.m., making it one of the shortest school district meetings in recent memory.

Out Of Your Attic Thrift Shop News
By Ruthi True
Thrift Shop Shy??


Do people ever stop you on the street and say “Hi, did you get that at the thrift shop??” Of course not, why not shop at your local thrift shops and look decent? Who knows where you bought it except you? You can buy designer clothing cheaper at a thrift shop than you can buy a brand new outfit at a mall or department store


Once you get used to thrift store shopping you will have to force yourself to pay full retail. For you folks who won’t shop thrift stores, please keep shopping wherever and when you clean out your stuff, keep bringing it to us as you help our non -profit shop at 345 Suncook Valley Road in Chichester, NH, to continue our many projects that have helped several people.


I”ve helped in thrift shops for 13 years now and just because a thrift shop is in a better location or is a BIG chain thrift store shop it doesn’t make the deals any better. At the Out Of Your Attic Thrift Shop in Chichester we get some really neat stuff, brand names and sometimes totally new items. If you are a regular at our shop and you’re looking for something that you don’t need that minute just mention it to us and well be on the look out for it. We’ve kept many people happy with our wish list. The local donators who read the Suncook Valley Sun Paper never let us down and we always seem to find those folks their items eventually.


With the sign of the times, more people should be shopping their local thrift shops, and local stores in general.


Wish list:
1) Baby walker or jumper.
2) Snowshoes for someone making syrup to get to sap taps.
3) Custard cups (2 people looking for some).


SMILE, REMEMBER BIRDS HAVE BILLS AND THEY STILL SING!!!!
