Dear fellow Hanoverians:

The Postal Workers’ Annual Food Drive is almost here again! It will be
held Election Day, Saturday, May 9, 2015. There will be a combination of
food drive volunteers and postal service workers making the rounds. The
Hanover Food Pantry is in serious need of volunteers on that day again this
year. What better way to support residents of our town in need? Please
consider volunteering at the food pantry! It is also a great way for those
who need service hours to accrue some time for a good cause.

The Hanover Food Pantry will need:

• Drivers and gatherers (beginning as early as 10:00 a.m. or anytime up
through 3:00 p.m.) to go out on assigned routes for food pick-up. Take a
long route or a short route, no matter what; your help will be appreciated.
You’ll be given a map, and you will bring the food you gather back to the
pantry.

• Sorters to be stationed at the pantry from 12:00 through 5:00 p.m., in
two hour shifts. Feel free to stay as long as you like. The food pantry
will supply water, soda, coffee or tea and PB&J sandwiches, along with hard
work and a good time.
Anyone wishing to volunteer to drive and pick up or sort donations can do
so by e-mailing Sally Lovett Boutin at kidsense@comcast.net or calling her
at 781-826-6485, or on her cell at 781-799-0053 (texting also available).

Remember that all collected food stocks the shelves of our very own Hanover
Food Pantry for our friends and neighbors in need. The food that is
gathered each year at the Postal Workers Annual Food Drive sees those in
need through the summer when the churches, civic organizations, schools and
other groups stop or slow their regular collections. Your support will be
greatly appreciated.
Regardless of your ability to volunteer to help that day, please don’t
forget to donate your food to the town-wide drive on May 9th!

Dear fellow Hanoverians:

A town wide contest is challenging Hanover residents, groups, and
businesses to express their local spirit as part of the “Artful
Anchors” community art project. A limited number of large-format anchors
are available for decoration, and will be displayed for judging by the
community at Hanover Day in June.

The “Artful Anchors” contest is being conducted by Karen Cass, chairman
of the Hanover Cultural Council, and is possible through a generous
donation from Gibson Roofs of Hanover, a major supporter of the arts in
town.

A cash prize of $200 will be awarded to the winner as part of the 10th
Annual Hanover Day Celebration on Saturday, June 20, 2015.

The anchor was chosen as the image for the contest because the town seal,
designed by James Waterman, includes an anchor to symbolize the town’s
shipbuilding past and its long history of forging anchors for the US Navy.

There are only 10 anchors available, so individuals or community groups are
encouraged to act quickly to reserve a 4’ x 4’ wooden anchor to design
and decorate in any medium they choose. The entry fee is only $25. Anchors
will be on display at Hanover Day and visitors will be able to vote for
their favorite design. Completed anchors must be delivered to the B.
Everett Hall/Sylvester Field by 9:00 a.m. on June 20 and will need to be
fitted with brackets on the back in order to be displayed at Hanover Day.
Brackets will be provided when you pick up your anchor.

Anchors are cut from special, water-resistant plywood and can be displayed
outdoors. Artists should prime all exposed surfaces of the anchor to seal
the wood and further protect the surface. All techniques and materials are
welcome, and artists are encouraged to be inventive and express themselves.
Participants can use the anchor to show town spirit, a unique group theme,
or business affiliation. All town organizations and individual artists are
welcome to enter this contest.

Artists will be encouraged to choose a prominent location in town to
display their Artful Anchors.
For more information, contact Cultural Council Chairman Karen Cass,
617-388-4427, or karencass@comcast.net.

Dear fellow Hanoverians:

Each year, as part of the Advisory Committee’s review of town meeting
articles, the AdComm takes a half day to tour many of the proposed capital
requests. The video found here: https://vimeo.com/125958097 will take you
through the fiscal 2016 requests and give you a tour of everything from
police cruisers to a presentation on a new North Hanover fire station. It
is two hours long, but can be looked at on-line at your own pace. It will
also play on Hanover TV until town meeting on May 4th at 7:30 p.m. at
Hanover High School.

For more information, please contact Advisory Committee Chair Chris Martin
at chris.martin14@verizon.net .

Dear fellow Hanoverians:

Town Clerk Catherine Harder-Bernier, after consultation with members of her
election staff and the State Elections Division, today offered the
following information for voters at the May Town Election.

“Voters who are new to the voting process in Massachusetts, or even
long-time Hanover residents who vote regularly, may be surprised when
election workers who are friends or neighbors ask for their street address
and full name prior to giving them a ballot. Voters are therefore advised
that it is actually state law that requires poll workers to ask for
everyone’s street address and name, said Harder-Bernier.”

According to Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 54, Section 76, “Each
voter desiring to vote at a polling place shall give his name and, if
requested, his residence to one of the officers at the entrance to the
space within the guard rail, who shall thereupon distinctly announce the
same. If such name is found on the voting list, the election officer shall
check and repeat the name and shall admit the voter to the space enclosed
by the guard rail and…such voter shall be given one ballot.”

“In Hanover we try very hard to make our election experience
user-friendly and welcoming. Voting is an important cornerstone of our
democracy, but let’s be honest, it is also an enjoyable social
experience. Please know that any formalities that are imposed upon the
voter are for good reason, including state laws, which must be followed.
We try to balance the competing interests and look forward to warmly
greeting everyone on Election Day,” said Harder-Bernier. “My staff
appreciates your understanding in the meantime!”, she added.

The Annual Town Election will be held on Saturday, May 9th, 2015 from 8:00
a.m. – 6:00 p.m. All Hanover voters vote at Hanover High School, located
at 287 Cedar Street. If you have further questions or need more
information about the voting process, don’t hesitate to contact Town
Clerk Catherine Harder-Bernier at (781) 826-5000, x1079 or
catherine.harderbernier@hanover-ma.gov .

Dear fellow Hanoverians:
State Senator Thomas P. Kennedy (D-Brockton) has sponsored legislation
relative to the recently enforced headlight law. The bill, An Act
clarifying the headlight law as a non-surchargeable offense for insurance
purposes, comes as a response to public concern about the penalties for
failing to comply with the law. Currently, in addition to a $5 ticket,
offenders are subject to increased insurance premiums due to the infraction
being considered a surchargeable traffic violation. Senator Kennedy’s
bill eliminates the surcharge provision, and leaves the nominal fine in
place.
The headlight requirement makes it mandatory for motorists to turn on their
headlights during inclement weather when the windshield wipers are engaged.
The practice, which is standard procedure for commercial truck drivers,
has proven to be effective in enhancing visibility, and has already been
adopted in 18 other states.

Senator Kennedy was instrumental in the passage of the original headlight
bill, believing it to be not only a positive life saving measure, but a
logical procedure with a wide range of public safety benefits.

“To use that old adage, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure,
applies to this measure,” said Senator Thomas Kennedy (D-Brockton),
“Hopefully, it will become standard practice for drivers to activate both
headlights and windshield wipers simultaneously, all in the name of good
driving habits in the realm of road safety.”

State Senator Tom Kennedy, is a veteran legislator and resident of the City
of Brockton, which he represents along with several surrounding communities
in the Massachusetts Senate. Concerned constituents may contact his office
with any questions at 617.722.1200 or via his District Director,
michael.king@masenate.gov .

Dear fellow Hanoverians:
The below message is from our Town Manager!
Please help us shape the future of
Hanover……………………………….

Customer service and community outreach is our priority. We encourage your
feedback; please take a few minutes to fill out the on-line survey found
here: http://www.hanover-ma.gov/survey . This anonymous survey inquires
about issues such as community priorities, municipal services, and customer
service.

The results of this survey will provide us with a consumer report card for
the Town by allowing residents the opportunity to rate the quality of life
in Hanover and their satisfaction with community amenities and local
government. The results will be compiled into a report that will be
reviewed by the Board of Selectmen, Town Manager, and Department Heads. The
report will also be posted on the Town’s website to serve as a benchmark
for years to come.

If you have any questions about the survey please call my office
781-826-5000 ext. 1032.

Your participation in this survey is very important. Thank you for your
time!

Sincerely,
