No school on Tuesday? How come?

Dear fellow Hanoverians:

Those of you with kids in school may be wondering why there is no school on
Tuesday. It was no small reason and no small feat to get us there. With
gracious thanks to HHS Principal Matt Paquette, Hanover Schools
Superintendent Matt Ferron, Administrative Assistant Rachael O’Callaghan,
and the entire Hanover School Committee, the safety and security of our
children remained the priority as they scheduled a professional development
day to coincide with the Presidential Primary this coming Tuesday.

At the risk of forgetting someone, additional thanks and praise go to
Athletic Director Scott Hutchison and all of the coaches for juggling their
basketball and wrestling schedules so that the gym may be set up on Monday
afternoon without incurring overtime costs to the town. HHS Office staff
members Kathy Gallagher, Debbie Kinney and Nancy Foster answer my countless
questions and make more quiet arrangements than I’ll ever know. Bob and
Patty Dugas of Joe’s Coffee Shop provide free coffee and muffins for
election workers and Lynne Petrowski and the HHS cafeteria staff share
their resources and food, too. Another shout out to the DPW – this time
to Jerry Peterson and the Facilities Staff – for working with me and all
of the above mentioned folks to set-up our election and break it down with
minimal interruption for the students on Monday and Wednesday. The Highway
staff of the DPW stands ready to set up our traffic patterns and temporary
“election parking only” signs on Tuesday. All of it will be
orchestrated with the able oversight of our Hanover Police Department
details thanks to the supervision of Chief Larry Sweeney.

Election staff members have been hard at work for weeks and months, too.
Wardens Carol and Rick Mattes, John Morris, and Joe DiSabato have scheduled
workers and tested voting machines…twice, thanks to the re-printed
ballots. Senior Clerk Meg Coogan has processed and organized hundreds of
absentee ballots. Debbie Balch, Corina Silva, Sean Meehan and Theresa
Mercurio have pre-counted over 10,000 ballots. Registrars Nancy
Goldthwait, Pam Ferguson and Kathy DiSabato have registered hundreds of new
voters, checked countless registration statuses, and printed voting lists
(with the able assistance of Judy LeClair and Pat Beers, too).

So yes, there is no school next Tuesday. I hope you will take some time
that day to come and vote; it is the greatest power of our democracy. It
takes a lot of co-operation from a lot of people – months and months
before the big day – to run an election. Thanks to all involved.

Thanks to the Hanover DPW and Police departments

Dear fellow Hanoverians:

This just in from the Meads Family of Hanover:

As many of you who travel down Union Street may have seen on Friday,
February 12th, there was a water main break which closed down Union and Old
Washington Streets for several days. The break happened at the end of our
driveway, collapsing one lane of the road. We were out of town for the
day, and upon returning home in the early hours of Sunday morning, realized
there was no running water or heat in our house (our furnace requires water
to run). The temperature in the house was 37 degrees; outside it was 10
below zero. Concerned our pipes would freeze and after learning that the
town was unaware that the water main break had left our home without heat
and water, we spoke to Neal Merritt and Tom Chiarelli of the DPW who were
stationed outside on the road, along with several others. A short time
later, Neal miraculously arrived back at the house with a handful of space
heaters to try and keep the pipes from freezing. There was a team of
Hanover DPW and Hanover Police working day and night Friday through Monday
to make repairs and keep people safe.

Our family wants to thank everyone involved for their professionalism and
hard work to fix a very serious issue during the record breaking cold
temperatures. We really appreciate everything everyone has done and want
everyone else to know how hard working these folks are. This is truly one
of the benefits of living in a small town – people care about their
neighbors. Everyone’s generosity is appreciated.

Thank You – The Meads Family
