Charlie Gleason’s South Shore

Dear fellow Hanoverians:

Charlie Gleason’s South Shore
Saturday August 20th, 1:00 – 4:00 p.m.
Stetson House Barn, 514 Hanover Street

Charles Gleason (1880-1979) was a Hanover resident and dry goods peddler
who kept a remarkable documentary record of small town life on the South
Shore. Beginning in 1908, Gleason used a $2 Brownie box camera to
photograph his family, neighbors, and clients in Hanover and the
surrounding towns. He traveled first with a brightly painted green and
yellow wagon and then on a bicycle, taking photos as he went. Gleason put
his photographs into scrapbooks and carefully labeled each person and
scene, creating a unique and fascinating source for local history. Views of
Hanover, Norwell, Pembroke, Marshfield, and Scituate are featured in the
scrapbooks, along with his stories, commentary, and humor.

The Hanover Historical Society has conserved eleven of the scrapbooks and
is now involved in a digitization and transcribing project to make these
available to the public. Join the Historical Society on Saturday, August
20th, from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. to view the scrapbooks and learn more about
the project.
See the South Shore as Charlie Gleason saw it a century ago.

For more information contact the Hanover Historical Society, at P.O. Box
156 Hanover MA 02339, 781-826-9575, or by email at
hanoverhistoricalsociety@gmail.com, or on-line at

Garden lecture

Dear fellow Hanoverians:

Please join the Hanover Garden Club for a lecture by noted horticulturalist
Kerry Ann Mendez:
“The Right-Size Flower Garden: Exceptional Plants and Design solutions
for Aging and Time Pressed Gardeners”: Change happens. Job demands,
kids, money, hectic schedules, aging bodies and changing interests have led
to gardens that are not in balance with our lifestyle. Time for some
‘editing’. This inspiring lecture provides easy-to-follow right-sizing
strategies, recommended no-fuss plant material, and design tips for
stunning year-round gardens that will be as close to ‘autopilot’ as you
can get.

The program will take place on Thursday, August 18, 2016, at 1:30 p.m. at
the Hanover Council on Aging, 665 Center Street. Open to the public at no
charge but space is limited. If you wish to attend, please call the
Hanover COA, 781-924-1921, for reservations. You may e-mail
pruerog@verizon.net if you have questions. This program is supported in
part by a grant from the Hanover Cultural Council, a local agency supported
by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency.

Refreshments will be served following the lecture and Ms. Mendez’s books
will be offered for sale.

New voter registration law and deadline to register

Dear fellow Hanoverians:

Hanover Town Clerk Catherine Harder-Bernier announced that Friday, August
19th is the last day to register to vote in the State Primary Election
scheduled to be held on September 8th. The Registrar’s Office will be
open from 8:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m. on Friday the 19th of August.

Thanks to new legislation that went into effect August 1st, 2016, any
Hanover citizen who is sixteen years of age or older is eligible to
register to vote. Citizens who will be eighteen on or before Election Day,
September 8th, 2016 will then be eligible to actually vote. Once registered
and 18 years of age, individuals will be eligible to vote in all elections
thereafter, including the State (Presidential) Election in November.

Citizens of Hanover may conveniently register to vote or change their party
status on-line, by mail or in person. The link for on-line registration is
here: https://www.sec.state.ma.us/OVR . If residents choose to register
by mail they should download the “Massachusetts Mail-In Voter
Registration Form” found here:
http://www.sec.state.ma.us/ele/eleifv/howreg.htm and mail the completed
form to the Hanover Town Clerk’s Office.

If voters wish to register to vote in person, they may do so at two
convenient locations: Hanover Town Hall or the Registry of Motor Vehicles.

“The State Primary Election is the precursor to the big State Election in
November, but it features a number of important races, including one for
State Representative on the Democratic side and one for Representative in
Congress on the Republican side,” said Harder-Bernier. “With the new
legislation that allows teenagers to register to vote beginning at age
sixteen, even though they still cannot vote until they are eighteen, I hope
their interest is piqued and they start to become engaged in the election
process. It does not get much better than a Presidential Election year to
become excited about this process!” she continued.

Questions may be directed to Hanover Town Clerk Catherine Harder-Bernier at
(781) 826-5000 x1079 or by e-mail at Catherine.harderbernier@hanover-ma.gov
, or Senior Registrar Nancy Goldthwait at (781) 826-5000 x1082 or
nancy.goldthwait@hanover-ma.gov .

A Circus at the Library?!

Dear fellow Hanoverians:

Circus Minimus will appear at the John Curtis Library on Wednesday, August
3 at 12:00 noon. Kevin O’Keefe presents his “one-man circus
in-a-suitcase”, which he has performed over 500 times around the globe,
for family theater audiences and school assemblies alike. From Kevin
O’Keefe’s suitcase an entire circus emerges: tent, band, lights, the
boisterous ringmaster Steve Fitzpatrick, the officious Mervin Merkle, the
incredible Bumbilini Family, the Magician to the Stars Clyde Zerbini, and
Keefer–an innocent trying to run away and join the circus. However, the
most important performers emerge from the audience. Each performance
becomes a dialogue between the characters and the audience–a
light-hearted collaboration.

The program, for all ages, is funded by the Friends of the Library. Please
register from the Calendar section of the library’s website,
www.hanovermass.com/library . For more information, call 781-826-2972,
extension 4 or e-mail lcampbell@ocln.org .
