News from the Friends

Dear fellow Hanoverians:
The Friends of the John Curtis Free Library have a couple of February
announcements:

First, some indoor winter fun is planned for children. The Friends are
pleased to announce two, six-week art programs for children to begin
soon at the library.

Pam Golden, a sculptor and art educator (www.pamgolden.com

), will teach children ages 8-10 in her *Faces and Figures Workshop*
to create clay animals, masks, puppets, and more. This class will meet
on 6 consecutive Tuesdays from 3:30 – 4:30 pm in the children’s room
at the library beginning January 28 and running through until Tuesday,
March 4 (goes through February vacation week).

*Kreative Kids*, taught by Karen Cass, a Hanover artist and private
educator (www.karencass.com
), will provide children ages 3-5 with an introduction to basic art
techniques while focusing on nature and the winter season. This class
will meet on Wednesdays at the library from 11 am – 12 pm beginning on
February 5. This class will run until March 19, skipping the February
vacation week (February 19).

Each class will support 10 children and is fully funded by the Friends
of the Library with participants asked to pay only a $10 supply fee.
Registration is happening now at the children’s circulation desk at
the library with your $10 supply payment. Preference is given to
children who have not taken this class before.

Also, the Friends are seeking new volunteers this February. A *meeting
for new volunteers will be held on Saturday, February 1* at 10:30 am
at the library. Please consider joining this great group to enhance
our wonderful library. If you are unable to attend the new volunteer
meeting, please plan to attend our *Annual Meeting on Monday, February
24, at 6:30 pm in the library*. The Friends hope to see you at one of
these events!

For more information, please contact Tracy Marchetti
(tjmarchetti@verizon.net
).

The impact of a Hanover boy

Dear fellow Hanoverians:
I am hard-pressed to find adequate words to describe what the loss of
Matthew Cox means to our community. I think one of the things that
strikes me the most is the outpouring from all corners of town…young
and old, classmates and teammates, parents and grandparents…for a
ten year old boy who so many of us knew, but so many more of us did
not know, myself included. So, we got to know him, we prayed for him,
we wept for him, and when it was announced Friday that he was gone, we
wept some more.
Matt was a Hanover boy. Raised here until last summer by his
kindhearted and loving parents Ann and Bill, he played sports here,
went to church here, and he grew as old as he would become here. His
tragic zip-lining accident the day after Christmas was every
parent’s worst nightmare. The innocence of a child, snatched while
laughing and playing? Whose heart would not break at that news?
So we did what Hanoverians do. We rallied around Matt and his family.
We stopped each other in the hall or grocery store to check in with
news about him. We read “Caring Bridge” updates to each other at
work, posted Facebook updates on our smartphones, and created
“Messages for Matthew” on a website. Hundreds of light blue
ribbons were wrapped around telephone poles and mailboxes all over
town. Games were dedicated to him. We donated money, took up
collections of gift cards, and printed up bracelets. We gathered at
St. Mary’s to pray, and some even found renewed faith thanks to Matt
and his family. We shared stories of Matt in the classroom, on the
ball fields and skating rinks, and in our homes. And we hoped, and we
cried together.
He brought us together, that too-young Hanover boy. For four weeks, we
were a little softer around each other, and perhaps a little more
forgiving. Some of us played with a bit more intensity because we
realized how fleeting play can be, and I am sure we were more loving
when looking in the eyes of a child. From all I have heard about him,
that sounds like who Matthew Cox was every day for his ten years:
softer, forgiving, playful and loving. Maybe we’ve all become a
little bit more like him. What a gift therefore he was to our
community! Godspeed Matthew Cox. Our thoughts and prayers are with
those who loved you.

Send your census in today!

Dear fellow Hanoverians:
Town of Hanover residents are reminded that the 2014 “Street Listing
Questionnaire”, more commonly known as the town’s census, has been
mailed to all households and needs to be returned as soon as possible
to the Town Clerk/Board of Registrar’s Office in Hanover Town Hall.
Senior Registrar Nancy Goldthwait noted that the census is important
for a number of reasons. “Hanover Police and Fire Departments need
to know who is living in a residence so that they can respond
appropriately in case of an emergency, the correct tally of persons is
necessary for voting purposes, and so that Hanover receives adequate
state funding based on population,” Goldthwait said.
Town Clerk and member of the Board of Registrars Cathy Harder-Bernier
added, “it is important that you promptly review your form, make
changes as needed, and sign and return it to the Town
Clerk/Registrar’s Office – *even* if all the information is correct.
Forms may be returned by mail or dropped off at Town Hall. There is
even a mail slot in the front door of Town Hall that allows for
after-hours drop-offs.”
“Help the town to save on postage and avoid having to do a second
mailing to your home by returning your census today,” said
Goldthwait.
Further information about the town’s census may be obtained by going
to the Town Clerk’s page of the Town website at
http://www.hanover-ma.gov/town-clerk/pages/street-list-and-census

, by calling the Board of Registrar’s Office at (781) 826-5000 x1082
or by e-mailing nancy.goldthwait@hanover-ma.gov

or catherine.harderbernier@hanover-ma.gov

.
Misplaced your form? Blank forms are available on the Town Clerk’s
webpage at
http://www.hanover-ma.gov/sites/hanoverma/files/file/file/blank_street_listing_census_form.pdf
