True Story Theater comes to Hanover this fall

Dear fellow Hanoverians:

The Hanover Unity Council is happy to announce its sponsorship of a series
of 3 educational offerings in conjunction with True Story Theater. Attend
one or all three – please note the varying target audiences. These Zoom
events are made possible in part by a generous grant from Eversource
Energy. The Council wants to again express their gratitude to Eversource
for their generosity and commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion.
(Editor’s note: events extend through October; save this information
and/or register now so you don’t forget! Alternately, it will always be in

http://atotw.com/maillist/lt.php?tid=1C84mEdsVs+3kfg5t6GEgjps5iGh2mdOrGsOJt/IHpZoqLt7nDN4RqoN783ZLADJ
).

From True Story Theater: “True Story Theater is a nonprofit theater
company that offers over 50 improvisational performances and workshops a
year for community groups, businesses, and individuals in New England and
California. We work with hospitals, universities, corporations, religious
communities… for teen leaders, cancer survivors, activists,
philanthropists, business leaders… as well as for weddings, birthdays,
and other important private events.
Our mission is to promote social healing through theatre. We perform and
teach an embodied theatre of empathy, respect, and creativity. Volunteers
from the audience are helped to share what’s important in their lives.
On the spot, actors then portray the heart of what they heard using music,
movement, and dialogue.

Thursday, September 9, 2021, 6:30 – 8:30 p.m.
Story Sharing Performance and Training. Presented by True Story Theater.
Theme: “Visible and Invisible Identities”
A community story sharing performance and introduction to active bystander
skills.
What’s a True Story show like? Our events bring together the delight of
improvisation with the riveting vulnerability of people sharing their
personal truth. The show’s emcee (called “the conductor”) facilitates
brief, spontaneous conversations with volunteers from the audience who
share their own feelings and experiences related to the show’s theme.
Tonight’s sharing will be about the visible or invisible identities we have
that are often not publicly talked about. After each conversation, the
actors and a musician sensitively embody the key feelings and actions they
heard, using movement, music, dialogue, and superb listening. All of it is
improvised on the spot.
Performance Followed by Interactive Introduction to Active Bystander
Skills. Learn how to speak up and interrupt words of bigotry and bias, and
be more open to feedback.
FREE event. Donations to Hanover Unity Council are welcomed and
appreciated.

able-bodied, please join the training at 6:30 pm. Affinity group members

Whether we’re at work, school, family gatherings, or on social media, we
all witness offensive or threatening situations where we want, but hesitate
to intervene. This is an interactive workshop that explores responding to
everyday bigotry, being open to receiving feedback, and engaging in
constructive dialogue with someone who has engaged in offensive behavior.
We will practice practical strategies for handling specific situations and
discover what tools may work best for you.

affinity group from 6:00 – 6:30 p.m. We will greet each other and have the
option to share a synopsis of a personal experience of being disrespected,
marginalized, or feeling unwelcome in Hanover as a resident, student,

Working Together for Change: An Active Bystander class for Middle School
age youth and families.
Presented by True Story Theater.

An active bystander is someone who not only witnesses an offensive or
threatening situation, but also speaks up or takes steps to defuse that
situation or keep it from escalating.
We all witness situations where we want to do something, but hesitate to
intervene, whether we’re at school, the workplace, family gatherings or
on social media. We’ll focus on looking at our own blind spots as well as
how to address the microaggressions and biases we witness in friends and
family in an effective and non-aggressive way. We will practice practical
strategies for handling specific situations and discover what tools may
work best for you. Leave this class feeling more empowered and better
informed.

Sylvester Field purchased and protected in perpetuity

Dear fellow Hanoverians:

Perhaps you have already heard this news, but the good folks at the
Wildlands Trust sent along this terrific press release with lots of great
information regarding their (and our!) newly purchased and protected
Sylvester Field in the Four Corners section of Hanover. It was too good to
not share with all of you – I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I did!

On Friday, July 23, 2021, a months-long collaboration between regional
conservation group Wildlands Trust and the Town of Hanover culminated with
the final purchase and permanent protection of Sylvester Field.
Encompassing a small pine grove and 660-feet of frontage on Third Herring
Brook in Hanover’s Four Corners neighborhood, Sylvester Field’s
highly-visible 10-acre meadow and stone wall bordering Washington Street is
a cherished part of the town landscape. It has both historical and
ecological value, and has long served as an agricultural, recreational and
aesthetic resource for the community.

On May 3, 2021, with strong support from the Hanover Open Space Committee
and the Hanover Historical Commission, Hanover’s Town Meeting unanimously
approved the use of $250,000 in Community Preservation Act funds to
purchase a permanent Conservation Restriction on the field. With this
partnership, along with the generous contributions of 307 individual
donors, Wildlands Trust was able to act quickly on the rare opportunity to
purchase this highly-valuable parcel of open space in Hanover.

“It was an incredible effort, with hand-delivered mailings, personal
solicitations, a farmer’s market, banners, signs, field tours and more,
which continued unabated until the goal was reached!” marveled Sue
Chamberlain, Wildlands Trust’s Donor Relations Manager. According to
Chamberlain, this grass-roots effort proved critical for the success of the
project. A core group of 16 volunteers, led by Four Corners resident Caleb
Estabrooks, raised $150,000 to be combined with a $200,000 matching gift
from a generous donor. This community-generated funding supplied half of
the total cost of the land in just six months.
?
Most recently known to many locals as Robinson Field, the last property
owner was Clayton Robinson, who died in March of 2020. Under his family’s
ownership, a mowed path was maintained around the edge of the field, and
local residents have long-enjoyed walking past the tall grass, through the
pines, and down to the water’s edge. After his death, Robinson’s cousin
and estate representative Debbie Lincoln was an important advocate among
family members for the preservation of the scenic open field and the
continued public use of its frequently-visited walking trails.

When presented with the opportunity to preserve this land, Wildlands Trust
immediately recognized the ecological value of Sylvester Field. The
property is home to numerous wildlife species, both common and rare, and
provides an extensive riparian habitat along the Third Herring Brook, an
important tributary of the larger North River.

Under Wildlands Trust’s ownership, Sylvester Field will be maintained in
its current state. The field-edge walking trails will remain and annual
mowing of the field itself will continue. The addition of a small parking
area and an informational kiosk will improve accessibility for public
enjoyment of the preserve.

Long before European arrival, Native Americans occupied the area, including
the field, which lies at a strategic location near the confluence of Third
Herring Brook and the North River. In the mid-1600s, it was owned by
William Barstow, who is believed to be the first European settler in
Hanover. It later became part of a larger farm, changing hands to the
Stockbridge Family and then the Sylvester Family. When the Sylvester Family
sold much of the farm in the 1940s, Betsey (Sylvester) Robinson purchased
this parcel to save it from development. The land continued to be used for
agricultural purposes for many years, including the grazing of Hornstra
Farms cows and the production of hay, before settling into its latest role
as a scenic resource for the community.

Wildlands Trust is a non-profit organization dedicated to conserving land
and preserving the natural heritage of Southeastern Massachusetts. The
organization works to permanently protect and steward important habitats
and landscapes, including woodlands and fields, ponds, coastal areas,
agricultural lands, and river systems. Founded in 1973, Wildlands Trust has
worked to protect nearly 13,000 acres of open space in 48 Massachusetts
towns, including: Great River Preserve, in Bridgewater; Brockton Audubon
Preserve; Cow Tent Hill Preserve and Cushman Preserve in Duxbury; the Nook
in Kingston; Hoyt-Hall Preserve in Marshfield; Willow Brook Farm in
Pembroke; and the Davis-Douglas Conservation Area in Plymouth. For more
information about the Wildlands Trust and their purchase and protection of
Sylvester Field, please e-mail SChamberlain@wildlandstrust.org .

South Shore Children’s Chorus comes to Hanover

Dear fellow Hanoverians:

South Shore Children’s Chorus (SSCC), the region’s training program for
all young singers, announces open registration for its fall programs at its
new location this fall at Laura’s Center for the Arts at the YMCA, 97
Mill Street, Hanover. Five non-auditioned choirs welcome new singers
beginning in September, under the direction of founding Artistic Director
Kirsten Oberoi. Joyful, positive encouragement and an uplifting
environment inspire choristers to learn and embrace confidence through
their own voice.

SSCC’s Training Choir engages students in grades K through 2 by
developing their musicality and voices through song games, movement and
listening. Choristers graduate from the Training Choir loving the use of
their voices, confident in their sound, understanding pitch-matching
skills, basic vocal technique and beginning ear training. The ensemble
performs at annual SSCC performances and occasionally at community events.
Training Choir meets weekly on Tuesdays in Hanover. Singers are required to
attend weekly rehearsals, as well as one or two All-Together rehearsals per
semester on Sunday afternoons, combining all Training Choir campuses in
Hanover, Sharon and Quincy.

SSCC’s Intermediate Choir trains students in grades 3 through 6 to
develop self-confidence through the medium of vocal music, learn
musicianship skills, begin singing in two or three parts and solidify
healthy vocal technique. Choristers graduate from the Intermediate Choir
appreciating the warm and loving community cultivated in choir
participation, as independent singers confident with the sound of their own
voice, and the ability to follow music well. The ensemble performs at
annual SSCC performances and community performances throughout the season.
Intermediate Choir meets weekly on Tuesdays in Hanover. Singers are
required to attend weekly rehearsals, as well as one All-Together rehearsal
per month on Sunday afternoons, combining all Intermediate Choir campuses
in Hanover, Sharon and Quincy.

SSCC’s Advanced Choir allows students in grades 7 through 12 to engage in
an honest and accepting community of passionate singers, develop
sight-singing skills, sing challenging and unique repertoire and study
vocal technique through performance and rehearsal of a variety of musical
genres. Choristers graduate from the Advanced Choir as beautiful and kind
humans and inspired choral leaders. They are ready to participate in
choirs at the professional or college level, and exemplify respectful
behavior in a choral rehearsal, model advanced vocal technique and
management, and demonstrate impressive sight-singing and music theory
skills. As a premiere SSCC ensemble, the Advanced Choir performs at annual
SSCC performances and community performances throughout the season.

South Shore Children’s Chorus’s mission is to provide joyful music
education and vocal training to students in South Shore communities and
beyond. SSCC reveres the development and well-being of its students as a
top priority, aiming to create a safe space and loving community for
choristers to learn, grow and to find their own voice. Its programs serve
dedicated, responsible singers ages 4 to 18 who seek a well-rounded choral
education. SSCC is passionate about access for all chorister students,
regardless of financial circumstance. Need-based tuition assistance is
available by application.

For tuition and complete schedule details, to register, or for more
information, visit southshorechildrenschorus.org, email Artistic Director

Household Hazardous Waste Day

Dear fellow Hanoverians:

The South Shore Recycling Cooperative will be hosting another Household
Hazardous Waste Day in Hanover at the transfer station on October 2, 2021.
They’ve made some great changes to manage the traffic flow and
pre-registration is one of them. Please go to:
http://atotw.com/maillist/lt.php?tid=Pmumzgnu0VyzL1NOXbo5QyyZcMUMIhINqI+HhRspMdBoqLt7nDOIRqoN783ZLADJ
to register. Also on that page is a list of what they will take and not
accept.

I realize that it’s pretty early to be sending this information out, but
since pre-registration is required and two other towns will be in
attendance, I wanted you all to have “first dibs”. Sign up today if you
know now that you have some household hazardous waste to get rid of this
fall! After today, this information may be found in the ATOTW archives
found here:
http://atotw.com/maillist/lt.php?tid=1C84mEdshs+3kfg5t6GEgiyZcMUMInINqI+HhRspMdBoqLt7nDPYRqoN783ZLADJ
, so feel free to search the archives for the information if you decide you
want to attend later on. As always, we don’t send reminders – we clog up
people’s in-boxes enough as it is!

Library book sale room update

Dear fellow Hanoverians:

I suppose it is fitting that my first e-blast back is from one of the good
folks at the John Curtis Library. We’ve always had such a great rapport –
they make my ATOTW job easy by sending me info I can just cut and paste
into an e-blast, and I help fill up their programs…all in the name of
supporting our fabulous library. Lynne Campbell, the children’s librarian,
tells me that she can tell when an e-blast has gone out because
registration fills right up right away thereafter! So, dear librarians and
library patrons, read on!

The Friends of the John Curtis Free Library, 534 Hanover Street, sincerely
thank all who support the book sale space as patrons and as donors, as all
monies raised go directly back to the library for programs and museum
passes.

PLEASE remember that they can only use CLEAN books in very good condition,
with non-fiction published in 2010 or after.

Thank you for your support! Please contact Emily Blampied
(blampied@gmail.com) with questions.

Around Town on the Web is back – just in time for for the new school year!

Dear fellow Hanoverians:

Just in time for the new school year, Hanover’s Around Town on the Web
(ATOTW) is back! Please accept my apologies to all of you who sent me your
e-blast requests this summer that did not go out due to my medical leave.
The good news is that I am recovering, albeit more slowly than I
anticipated or would prefer – ha! I hope to be able to handle all of your
upcoming requests going forward.

As a reminder, here are some answers to some frequently asked questions
about ATOTW:

What will you send “Around Town on the Web”?

Please know that I am a volunteer who is simply joyfully providing a
service to my community. I send information regarding:
Non-profit events in Hanover
Events sponsored by Hanover non-profit organizations
The Town of Hanover’s municipal government
Contested town elections (candidate information must be brief and unbiased)
For-profit organizations which are providing a free community service to
Hanover residents – occasionally. I do ask that for-profits use traditional
paid-for advertising.
Individual Hanover residents in need (but not lost and found animals –
please post them on Facebook)
Significant Hanover happenings and milestones
Community safety issues

If something I send is not of interest to you, just hit delete! I make
connections, provide a resource, and bring people together. I shout good
news from the rooftops! I hope that I encourage you to get involved, stay
involved, and help to make Hanover the tremendous, affectionate, and united
small town that it already is and will certainly continue to be with your
devoted participation.

How do I submit something to “Around Town on the Web”?

Please write your information in a press-release format – include who,
what, where, how, when, and why, and send it so that I can simply cut and
paste and send it along.
Please include a contact name AND e-mail address in the information slated
to go out in case recipients have further questions. Phone numbers are also
helpful, but not a “must”. E-mail addresses are a “must”.
Please only send Word documents or information embedded in an e-mail. Most
everything else does not cut and paste well and therefore does not read
well once it goes out.
We have the capability to send .pdf’s as attachments. Please also submit
some text to go in the e-mail that accompanies the attached .pdf.
Send everything to cathyhb at atotw.com.
We reserve the right to edit anything we send out, and also the right to
refuse to send something out entirely.
Your information will usually go out within a week of my receipt unless you
request a delay. Please plan your promotional campaigns accordingly.
We also have the capability to schedule the date and time that an e-mail
will go out. So, for instance, if your e-mail is complementing a
long-running Facebook post, you may wish for the ATOTW e-mail to serve as a
reminder a few days or a week before the event.
We don’t send reminders or slightly revised updates. We clog up people’s
in-boxes enough as it is! All ATOTW postings are also available in the
archives for later reference by the residents of Hanover.

I look forward to getting back in the swing of things and connecting all of
us to each other via ATOTW. Enjoy what is left of the summer in the
meantime!

Teddy Bear Picnic Family Yoga Class

Dear fellow Hanoverians:

Teddy Bear Picnic Family Yoga Class
Monday, June 28, 11:00 a.m., John Curtis Library, 534 Hanover Street

Join the good folks from the John Curtis Library on the grounds outside the
library for a family yoga class/story time. Pack a picnic snack, a yoga mat
or beach towel, and your teddy bear and come on a magical adventure. The
group will go on a bear hunt and walk through tall, tall grass, row across
a cold, cold river, plod through thick, oozy mud, stumble through a big,
dark forest, walk through a swirling, whirling snowstorm, and tiptoe into a
narrow, gloomy cave and then celebrate with a teddy bear picnic. The yogis
will go home with a yoga mat for their teddy bears. The class is geared
toward children ages three to six, but siblings of all ages are welcome.

The class is taught by Christine Walker of Little Bee Yoga and is funded by
the Friends of the Library.

Please register from the Calendar of Events section of the library’s
website,
