Yarn donations sought

Dear fellow Hanoverians:

South Shore Hospital has informed the Hanover Senior Center that the
hospital nursery is in desperate need of hand-knit baby items such as
blankets and hats. The knitting group at the Senior Center would therefore
appreciate donations of pastel baby yarn (“pound of love” is a great brand)
so they can provide lovely hand–knit items for these newborns.

All yarn donations can be dropped off at the Hanover Senior Center at 665
Center Street, Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. Please
contact the Senior Center at 781-924-1913 for more information, or email
Teresa Slight at teresa.slight@hanover-ma.gov.

Dear fellow Hanoverians:

Classes will meet on Mondays beginning March 14 and run through April 18.
The morning class will run from 10:30-11:30 am in the large meeting room
downstairs at the library. The evening class will run from 6:30-7:30 pm.
Each class will support 12 adults.

All classes are fully funded by the Friends of the Library with
participants asked to pay only a $10 supply fee. Registration is happening
now with your $10 supply fee — please register upstairs at the adult
circulation desk. Sign up quickly as these spaces won’t last! Contact

Know before you go on Tuesday to vote in the Presidential Primary

Dear fellow Hanoverians:

An election day should not go by without an email reminder from me!
What’s your voting strategy? When will you find time in your day to go
vote?

Polls are open from 7:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m. at Hanover High School, 287
Cedar Street on Tuesday, March 1. All four of our precincts vote in the
same location, but you are encouraged to “know before you go” to this
Presidential Primary!

If you are not sure which precinct line you will need to stand in, go to:
http://www.wheredoivotema.com/bal/myelectioninfo.aspx to find out your
precinct number. You will also find copies of all four possible ballots on
this results page once you type in your address.

What’s your registration status? Are you registered? Are you active or
inactive? This is a primary, which means there are multiple ballots. Are
you registered in a party (Democrat, Republican, United Independent Party
or Green-Rainbow)? Or perhaps “unenrolled” (commonly known as
independent). Which ballot will you be given or do you get to pick? Know
before you go! Go to
https://www.sec.state.ma.us/VoterRegistrationSearch/MyVoterRegStatus.aspx
to find out your registration status ahead of time.

Turnout will be heavy; please allow extra time to park, stand in line, and
go through the check-in and check-out processes.

See you Super Tuesday at the polls!

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.
