Dear fellow Hanoverians:

School Vacation Week Programs at John Curtis Library

Wednesday, February 20, 2:30 – 4:00 p.m. Art Workshop with Pop-Up Art
School
The Pop-up Art School will present a workshop on the art of Vincent van
Gogh. The lesson, for children 8 to 12 years old, will focus on his humble
painting of a chair. Students will make a two dimensional drawing of a
chair which will then be cut so the seat and front legs of the chair “pop
out” from the background. Attendance is limited.

Thursday, February 21, 2:00 – 3:00 p.m. Sparky’s Puppets
Sparky’s Puppets will present “Stories From Snowy Lands”. Watch a snowman
come to life, see a bear go ice fishing, and visit a toymaker on a wintry
day. Sparky’s Puppets have performed throughout New England for over 30
years. They have visited the Hanover library multiple times and are always
a delight.

Please register for both programs from the Calendar section of the
library’s website, www.hanovermass.com/library. For more information, call
781-826-2972, extension 4, or email the children’s librarian at
lcampbell@ocln.org.

Both programs are funded by the Friends of the John Curtis Library.

Dear fellow Hanoverians:

The John Curtis Free Library has teamed up with the Boston Bruins to
participate in their annual pajama drive to benefit DCF Kids and Cradles to
Crayons. The PJ Drive’s goal is to collect 12,000 pairs of new pajamas
for children and teens in need.

The Pajama Drive runs from February 1 through March 15, 2019. The JCF
Library will be collecting new pajamas for babies, children and teens. A
collection box for donations will be set up in the library’s main lobby.

Bruins forward P.J. Axelsson and his wife, Siw, started the PJ drive during
the Boston Bruins 2007-2008 season as a way to give to give back to their
community. The couple collected 1,600 pairs of pajamas for Cradles to
Crayons which connects with social service agencies to identify specific
children in need.

In 2017, the drive expanded to benefit DCF’s Wonderfund. DCF estimates
that at any given time the agency is working with 45,000 babies, children
and teens. DCF’s participation helps ensure that PJs stay in the area in
which they were collected, benefitting local kids and teens.

Participating libraries will compete with other organizations for special
Bruins prizes including a street hockey clinic with Bruins Mascot Blades
and autographed Bruins items.
The Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners (MBLC) works with the
Boston Bruins to coordinate library participation in the drive. Libraries
from around the state use the Massachusetts Library System’s delivery
service, typically used to send books and other library materials, to send
their PJs to area collection locations which increases libraries’ ability
to participate in the drive.

For more information about the drive, please contact Lynne Campbell at
lcampbell@ocln.org .

Dear fellow Hanoverians:

Hanover Town Clerk Catherine Harder-Bernier announced today that nomination
papers are now available in her office for the Annual Town Election
scheduled to be held May 11th, 2019.

“Election Day is set for May 11th and signed nomination papers are due
March 22nd, 2019. Given the abolishment of the Board of Public Works last
year, there are only nine open seats, which is a relatively light election
year,” said Harder-Bernier.

On the ballot this spring will be elections for one member of the Board of
Selectmen for a three year term, one member of the School Committee for a
three year term, two members of the Board of Assessors – one member for a
three year term and one member for a two year term, one member of the
Planning Board for a five year term, one Board of Health member for a three
year term, one Trustee of the Public Library for a three year term, one
Town Clerk for a three year term, and one Moderator for a one year term.

Interested residents are encouraged to contact the Town Clerk’s Office,
any of the related departments, or sitting members of the board or
committee they are interested in becoming a part of in order to gain more
information about an open position.

To run for office, candidates only need to obtain 50 signatures of
registered Hanover voters in order to be placed on the ballot. Candidates
for office have until Friday, March 22nd to submit the signed nomination
papers to the Registrar’s Office for signature certification. Attached
please find the Spring Election Calendar for more information.

For more information about the election process and related deadlines,
please contact Hanover Town Clerk Catherine Harder-Bernier or Assistant
Town Clerk Meg Pallotta at (781) 826-5000 x1079 or by e-mail at

Dear fellow Hanoverians:

The South Shore Conservatory (SSC) announces the creation of “Singing with
Parkinson’s”, a chorus designed for individuals living with Parkinson’s
disease and their care partners. This new chorus, a partnership between
SSC and the South Shore YMCA, is supported by a grant from the American
Parkinson Disease Association, MA Chapter. Sessions are held at the Laura
Center for the Arts, South Shore YMCA, 97 Mill Street.

“SSC is excited to partner with the South Shore YMCA to bring the first
specialized chorus of this type on the South Shore,” said Kathy Czerny,
SSC President. “For years, we have witnessed the power music has to
touch all populations, and we hope this weekly musical interlude serves to
brighten the lives of all who participate.”

SSC proposed the Parkinson’s chorus to provide multiple therapeutic
benefits. Research shows that those participating in organized music
groups experience a sense of belonging. This is especially meaningful to
those dealing with a progressive disease, which can be isolating.
Neurologically, music affects the brain and muscles in a way that allows
individuals to use their voice and move their bodies more effectively and
powerfully. In addition, the structure of music and its ability to
re-circuit in our brains when areas shut down, provides opportunity for
individuals living with Parkinson’s to address multiple symptoms in a fun
and social way. Singing in a chorus provides patterns, practice habits,
and social engagement, designed to maintain not just skills, but quality of
life.

No musical experience is necessary to participate. The chorus is directed
by board certified music therapists highly skilled in adaptation and
accommodation, and meets Wednesdays from 1-2:30 pm. The group will perform
music from a variety of genres and time periods. Singers will have the
opportunity to help choose the repertoire. Every rehearsal ends with time
to gather and socialize over refreshments.

“The South Shore YMCA is excited to be collaborating with the South Shore
Conservatory on this project. We are thrilled to expand programming around
inclusion and medical wellness. These are two primary areas of focus for
our organization and a great need in the South Shore. Being able to
collaborate with the South Shore Conservatory is a great way to be able to
expand our reach together and promote both organizations missions and
expand programs and services around these needs. We look forward to
developing the chorus for individuals with Parkinson’s with SSC, and see
other opportunities to collaborate more in the future” said Dan Berry,
Executive Director, South Shore YMCA-Emilson Branch.

In keeping with SSC’s mission to provide access, there is no cost to
participate in the Singing With Parkinson’s chorus. The Laura Center for
the Arts is fully accessible. To register, contact Eve Montague at
e.montague@sscmusic.org or 781-934-2731 x20.

For a full line up of classes and programs at South Shore Conservatory,
