Focus shifts to job in Kenya, accelerated school schedule
It is time I announce my resignation from my position as Selectwoman. Last summer I was offered a job in Kenya to teach 30+ students in reforestation and water conservation this June and July. I have decided to accept their offer and will most likely stay on with the organization after that. I love Andover […]
I would like to thank Andover voters for your support in our recent Town elections. I would like to thank those of you who voted for me and also those of you who voted for Mr. Caron. By your support, for either me or Lenny, it shows that democracy is alive and kicking in Andover. Again, […]
To Stephen Barton, Jake Johnson, and Carter Atwood, Thank you for a very quick response to my call for help last month at my house on Cilleyville Road. Your actions helped avert what could have been a major plumbing disaster. My gratitude goes out to the Fire Department members for doing exactly the right things, especially […]
We would like to thank the Andover Fire Department for assistance on the night of January 31. Responding quickly to our needs were Peter Smith, Jacob Johnson, Chief Rene Lefebvre, Ben Seaver, and Scott Davis. Most sincerely, Ed and Doreen Barkowski

Anyone else interested?
For many years I have wished that there could be an ice skating rink maintained on the channel of Highland Lake. I am wondering how to go about creating it.

AE/MS' wonderful observance of Veterans Day
The Andover Elementary/Middle School recently presented a wonderful observance of Veterans Day. It was exciting and moving to see the students so interested in the history and struggles of our country’s wars. The students treated the program and the veterans in attendance with respect and reverence. Teachers, staff, and students did an outstanding job in […]
Every child in the country should have this experience
My name is Bill Converse and I am a World War II veteran. I had the honor of being invited to the Andover Elementary Middle School Veteran’s Day Celebration. It was very impressive, but I think it was more impressive for the children than it was for me. I want to thank you for the […]
Woven into the negative inflammatory critiques of the present Republican political candidates, we hear the dull drumbeat of the “do-nothing Congress.” The more one hears this type of allegation without rebuttal, the more one is likely to believe them. Are the present representatives and senators responsible for the gridlock? Bills originate in the House of […]
