Dear fellow Hanoverians:

The John Curtis Free Library has teamed up with the Boston Bruins to
participate in the 17th annual Boston Bruins PJ Drive to benefit Department
of Children and Families’ (DCF) Wonderfund and Cradles to Crayons. The PJ
Drive’s goal is to collect 10,000 pairs of new pajamas. Many of the
pajamas donated go to local DCF offices in the area in which they were
collected, benefitting local kids and teens. DCF estimates that at any
given time the agency is working with 50,000 babies, children and teens.

Bruins forward P.J. Axelsson and his wife, Siw, started the PJ drive during
the Boston Bruins 2007-2008 season as a way to give to give back to their
community. Libraries from across the state joined the PJ Drive in 2014 and
have collected over 53,000 pairs of pajamas since then. The Massachusetts
Board of Library Commissioners works with the Boston Bruins to coordinate
library participation.

The Hanover Library’s goal this year is to collect 100 new pajamas by
March 15th when the drive ends. The collection box is located in the lobby
by the main entrance. For more information, please call 781-826-2972 or
email lcampbell@hanover.ocln.org.

Dear fellow Hanoverians:

I don’t often publish “opinion pieces” from readers, but the importance of
this topic to all of us here in Hanover has led me to the following post.
Thanks, Kyra, for sending this information along. Your interest in our
community is very appreciated!

After listening to both Hanover and Hanson community meetings on National
Fireworks site status, Hanover resident Kyra Brissette believes that it is
clear the only option is for the National Fireworks site to be listed as a
Superfund site. The Hanover Select Board hasn’t decided whether to
support or oppose getting the site added to the National Priorities List,
but it has said that they will meet in February. Hanson has already voted
to support, and Pembroke will have a say too, since they border the site.
Editor’s note: Another alternative would be for the Town to do nothing
with the Fireworks site. Information from the EPA may be found here:
http://atotw.com/maillist/lt.php?tid=O7Gx6V+kXma3MHDa4qhB+nOGJcbcoesPsEA7fujqa2ZoqLt7nDOoRqoN783ZLADJ
.

According to Brissette, in the meantime cleanup has been funded by a
settlement with a former property owner, but the $74 million is close to
running out. The state tried to negotiate with the “potentially
responsible parties” ? the Department of Defense, the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology and National Coating Co. ? for more money but was
unsuccessful.

At the Hanover and Hanson meetings, officials said $200 million more is
needed to complete the project. It was suggested at both meetings that
community members from all towns reach out to the MA members of the House
and Senate Committees on Armed Services and ask for funding from the
Department of Defense to continue the work on the site until it becomes a
Superfund Site and the EPA can take over. According to Brissette, the
earliest that the site could be proposed for the National Priorities List
is August 2025.

Brissette asked that the following contact information be shared for those
inclined to communicate with them:
