Dear fellow Hanoverians:

Cardinal Cushing Centers’ MarketPlace Building, open since early
December, is selling a variety of products for Valentine’s Day, all made
by the students and adults with intellectual disabilities that Cushing
supports.

Products include Wish Bracelets, handmade Heart Pins, and Love Bugs –
adorable, hand-painted and decorated rocks with personalities – paired
with a whimsical poem. Please see the attached photos! If you don’t find
what you’re looking for in the Unique Boutique, you can pop into the Take
2 thrift store and find all kinds of items to help you celebrate the
holiday, or the Cushing Café for a sweet treat.

The new MarketPlace Building, visible and accessible directly from Route
53, is a 20,000 square foot, environmentally friendly building that houses
the Cushing Café, Take 2 thrift store, and Unique Boutique gift shop,
along with state-of-the-art training classrooms. Located at 120 Columbia
Road, the Café is open Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
and the Unique Boutique and Take 2 thrift stores are open from 10:00 a.m.
to 2:00 p.m., also Monday through Friday.

The MarketPlace provides employment training to Cushing students and job
opportunities to adults with disabilities. With the retail shops more
visible and accessible to passersby on Route 53, Cushing Centers is
increasing the number of customers they serve, enhancing job training so
their students are better prepared to obtain paying jobs in the community.
Part of Cushing’s mission is to remove barriers to integration and to
create meaningful employment opportunities for people of all abilities.

Along with the addition of the Bethany Apartments, 37 units of workforce
housing that were added to Cushing neighborhood in 2017, the MarketPlace
Building plays an important role in fulfilling Cushing’s vision for an
inclusive community where people with and without disabilities live, work,
learn, shop, and socialize together.

So, you can shop for a cause this Valentine’s Day and feel even better
about your local purchases. Revenue from the sales helps sustain the
employment training program. For more information, please contact Jody Nash
at marketplace@cushingcenters.org.

Dear fellow Hanoverians:

Hanover Town Clerk Catherine Harder-Bernier today reminded registered
Hanover voters and caregivers of registered Hanover voters that the
Massachusetts legislature passed a bill in 2013 that amended election laws
pertaining to permanently disabled voters. Massachusetts General Laws
Chapter 54, Section 86 reads in part, “A voter who will be unable by
reason of permanent disability to cast his vote in person at the polling
place may file once with the city or town clerk a certificate executed by a
registered physician who is personally acquainted with the voter and aware
of his permanent disability, stating that it is reasonably certain because
of permanent physical disability that the voter will be unable to cast his
vote in person at the polling place on the day of the election.”

Once that letter from the physician has been received by the Hanover Town
Clerk’s Office, the voter will once a year automatically receive an
application for an absentee ballot by mail. The application may then be
filled out and returned to the Hanover Town Clerk’s Office, and will be
good for the calendar year if the voter so designates. Absentee ballots,
as they become available prior to an election, will then be automatically
mailed to the permanently disabled voter.
“This is a relatively simple way to save time and ease the load of a
permanently disabled voter or caregiver. Just send us a letter from your
family physician and we will take it from there. I am pleased to be able
to continue to offer this service to Hanover residents”, said Town Clerk
Harder-Bernier.

For more information about this process, please contact Hanover Town Clerk
Catherine Harder-Bernier at Catherine.harderbernier@hanover-ma.gov or (781)
826-5000 x1079. Letters from physicians regarding a patient’s permanent
disability may be sent to Catherine Harder-Bernier, Hanover Town Clerk, 550
Hanover Street, Hanover, MA 02339.

Dear fellow Hanoverians:

Great news on the COVID-19 vaccine front! Hanover residents who live at
Elmwood Farm Drive (“Cushing Residences”) have started to receive phone
calls from volunteer members of the Community Emergency Response Team to
schedule their first vaccinations for Wednesday, February 3rd, with a
second shot on Wednesday, March 3rd. If you or someone you know lives at
Cushing and hasn’t received a phone call yet, please be patient. Calls are
being made all this week.

This is great news for the residents who live in that elderly housing
facility. It’s coming Hanover! You’ll be able to hug Grandma and Grandpa
soon.

Dear fellow Hanoverians:

Hanover Town Clerk Catherine Harder-Bernier announced today that 2021 Town
of Hanover dog licenses are now finally available on-line, via the front
door mail slot, or by mail. Due to COVID-19 illnesses and related
quarantines at the manufacturing plant, dog tag production was delayed
several weeks. Residents are kindly asked to be patient regarding the
receipt of their tags while the backlog of several hundred applications is
cleared.

The licensing period is January 1, 2021 – March 31, 2021, and a $10 late
fee applies beginning April 1, 2021. All dogs over the age of 6 months are
required by law to be licensed. The license is good for one year, and
costs $10 for spayed or neutered dogs, and $15 for intact dogs. Residents
over the age of 70 will be given a free license for their vaccinated dog
upon proof of the owner’s age.

In an effort to make this process easy for residents, there are several
ways to license your dog.
• If you use the on-line system found here:
http://atotw.com/maillist/lt.php?tid=dz+uDqeqP6q+lj6qrBW2UIY7H4lw2bh+izQX1pvxPMZoqLt7nDMYRqoN783ZLADJ
and are simply re-registering an existing dog, you can retrieve your
account by entering your first name, last name, house number and then by
selecting a street name from the drop down menu. You must enter the
information exactly how it was registered on the system in order to
retrieve your account. If found, you have to confirm your pet(s) name and
then you can enter an email and create a password. This will save you
having to upload existing rabies or spay/neuter certificates! It will also
prevent duplicate and therefore confusing records.
• Residents may also fill out the dog license application that is found
on the Town Clerk’s section of the Town of Hanover’s website at:
http://atotw.com/maillist/lt.php?tid=Nzn//G2sttuue9Sf14Wk0oY7H4lw2Sh+izQX1pvxPMZoqLt7nDM4RqoN783ZLADJ
. This is the same application that was included in the census mailing
this year. Completed forms may be mailed in with your payment, proof of
current rabies vaccination and proof of spaying or neutering (if you have
not submitted that information previously) to: Town Clerk’s Office, 550
Hanover Street, Hanover, MA 02339, and your tag will be mailed back to
you.
• Due to locally high rates of COVID-19, dog licenses are not available
in-person at this time. Residents wishing to drop off their paperwork may
simply put it in an envelope in the front door mail slot along with a check
payable to the Town of Hanover. Again, in all cases, your dog’s tag will
be mailed back to you.

Unlicensed dogs are subject to a minimum of a $25 fine, with an additional
$25 fine if unleashed and another fine of $50 if unvaccinated for rabies.
Don’t delay; get your dog’s license soon!

If you have questions or need more information about the licensing of your
dog in Hanover, please call the Town Clerk’s Office at (781) 826-5000
x1079 or e-mail clerk.staff@hanover-ma.gov .
