Dear fellow Hanoverians:

The Hanover Open Space Committee will offer multiple opportunities for
Hanover residents to enjoy, maintain and expand our growing trail system
this fall.

Join the Open Space Committee at 9:00 a.m. this Saturday, September 19th to
help bring the new Fireworks Trail to completion. Located between King and
Winter Streets, the planned loop will connect many existing trails and
provide improved access to town owned property for Hanover residents. Their
goal is to clear up trail access, trim overgrowth in one section of the
trail, and with the hard work of the Hanover DPW, finalize a new parking
area enabling all Hanover residents safe parking access to this emerging
trail loop. Meet across the street and just south of 231 King Street.
Weather permitting the group will walk the entire trail. Join them for
trimming or walking.

The Committee will meet October 17th to mark trails on newly acquired
Stasiluk-Nava Property, funded through our Community Preservation Fund.
Please contact
hanoveropenspace@gmail.com to find out specifics on meeting times, team
opportunities, and/or to join our mailing list of ongoing activities. The
committee is excited to offer access to land that residents voted to
conserve at Town Meeting. Once they successfully outline the new trails,
the Open Space team encourages all individuals and/or local groups to work
with our members to actually cut the trails.

Open Space is interested in hearing from you, too. Feel free to let them
know about maintenance or improvement ideas near you.

Be sure to pick up a free copy of the 2009 Hanover Open Space & Trails Map
at Planning and Conservation offices at Town Hall, the Library, or the DPW,
or download it

Dear fellow Hanoverians:

Mea culpa! A correction from this busy week "Around Town on the Web":

Jou Nouvo’s fundraiser last spring was with St. Andrew’s Episcopal
Church.not the Lutheran. Kristi Peak-Olivera did a great job with her St.
Andrew’s Sunday School’s efforts to support aid to impoverished school kids
in Haiti.

Dear fellow Hanoverians:

The Friends of the John Curtis Free Library are hosting a workshop for
parents of girls on Saturday, October 3, from 2 – 4:30 p.m. at the library.
Cyndi Denmat, a workshop leader and parenting consultant
(www.raisinggirls.org), will lead "Friendship and Cliques: A Primer for
Parents" with a question and answer time at the end. This program hopes to
help parents understand the nature of cliques which can so affect preteen
girls. Learn about the social function of cliques, the roles girls play in
cliques, and what to do when cliques turn negative. This workshop provides
parents specific techniques on how to coach their daughter effectively and
compassionately when she faces negative group behavior. Cyndi Denmat earned
her M.Ed. from Lesley University and is an adjunct faculty member at Lesley
University. She is the founding director of Empowering Mothers of America,
a parenting consulting organization. This event is funded entirely by the
Friends and will be FREE of charge to all participants. Tickets are
required and limited to 100 people. Please get them at the children’s
circulation desk now.

Dear fellow Hanoverians:

Regular readers will remember last spring’s school supply fundraiser led by
Hanover’s own Kerline Tofuri, founder of Jou Nouvo, in conjunction with the
Lutheran Church Sunday School here in town. Jou Nouvo, founded in 2008, got
its start by offering an adult literacy class to ten women in Bon Repos,
Haiti, a poverty-stricken community located 12 kilometers west of
Port-au-Prince. The inspiration for the venture came to Ms. Tofuri, a
Haitian native and Hanover transplant, during a visit back to Haiti. In the
24 years since she had left Haiti, she noticed a drastic change in the
community; children were not in school, rates of unemployment had risen, and
people had little access to health care.

"Around Town On The Web" is delighted to bring good news to you from Mrs.
Tofuri and Jou Nouvo. Partners In Development, Inc., an Ipswich-based
non-government-based organization, has joined with Jou Nouvo to provide
direct services to Bon Repos. PID/Jou Nouvo-specific projects will include
increased access to medical care, loans for small businesses, as well as
adult literacy and child sponsorship programs.

According to Gale Hull, Executive Director of Partners In Development, Inc.,
the partnership will further PID and Jou Nouvo’s core philosophies of
bringing resources to the extreme poor by equipping individuals and
communities with the resources that empower their families and their
futures.

For more information or to inquire about a speaking engagement, please call
Kerline Tofuri at 781-588-4555 or e-mail kerline@pidonline.org
. You
can learn more about Partners In Development at www.pidonline.org
. And in the meantime, please join me in
congratulating my friend Kerline for all of her hard work and this
outstanding news. J
