Andover High School building contract contains default clausesBy Neil Fater

Andover can declare Stone-Congress, the contractor for the Andover High School con­struction project, in default of its contract. The town can also withhold money from the contractor in addition to the 5 percent retainage that’s withheld during any project. The town has chosen not to withhold extra money or declare the contractor in default.

Due to a reporter’s error, last week’s story “Mashpee declares Stone, AHS contractor, in default” erroneously indicated that Andover’s contract with Stone-Congress doesn’t allow it to take such actions. The error occurred in large part because of the reporter’s confusion concerning the proper

terminology for specific contract clauses.Town officials continue to say they don’t

want to comment on certain contract issues because of pending litigation. Stone- Congress has sued Andover for $1.7 million, claiming the architectural plans for the pro­ject were so bad that the project could not be built with them.

But because of last week’s article, Tom Urbelis, town counsel, talked about the con­tract with the Townsman.

Andover does not have “a default penalty. Thank God we don’t,’’ said Mr. Urbelis, because in many cases a penalty is unen­forceable. But Andover does have more than

Growth in Andoverfree huggers and others say growth can and should be controlledFifth in a series of articles on growth and development in Andover the Townsman will run between now and April Town Meeting.

By Don StarukMost residents want Andover to be the

way it was when they moved here, with lots of open space and conservation areas, but they also want a nice downtown and a vibrant economy, according to A1 French, of 17 Moreland Ave. He feels that way and says growth and development in Andover “can

Mr. French said.Chairman of the Bay Circuit Alliance, a

former selectman, owner of Moor and Moun­tain Outfitters in Dundee Park and a new member of the Andover League of Women Voters, Mr. French categorized himself as a “tree hugger,” a conservationist. And he does not agree with a recent comment about growth by Steve Colyer, town planning

It's Martial Arts Season For EVERYONE ...a Not Just A "Special Few"\

By Neil EaterThere’s no outward sign of

regret, no visible disappoint­ment. Perhaps if you’re like Eliz­abeth Collins and you've seen the birth of a great great grand child, something that happened 67 years ago seems less impor­tant.

But while Ms. Collins, of Main Street, dismisses the possibility

she could have become an entertain­er if things had been dif­ferent after her crown­ing in 1929 as "Miss Lawrence,” others in her family do wonder about what might have been.

M s . Collins cele­

brated her 90th birthday last week with a surprise party and a special gift from one of her granddaughters. Her grand­daughter Donna McHarg gave her a framed copy of newspaper articles about Ms. Collins’ victo­ry in the week long "Perfect Girl” pageant of 1929.

“It was my girlfriend who put my name in,” said Ms. Collins. “1 didn’t want to go and my dad had a fit, but my mother was very modem. She was probably ahead of her time."

Ms. Collins*, then Miss Rliza-

beth Buss, won the contest with­out the aid of make-up or a fancy bathing suit. Her father, a strict Catholic, had forbid their use.

“There were a lot of girls," Ms. Collins said modestly. “Why that ever happened 1 don’t know because I picked out two girls myself who I thought should have won.”

As part of her crowning, the then Miss Buss was given a dozen roses that she tried to give to her church.

"They refused to take the ros­es because it was scandalous. I suppose it was a scandal because she had won a beauty contest,” said her granddaughter, Donna.

The then-Miss Buss also won $500 in prizes and the right to represent her area in what news­papers were calling “the big New- England beauty contest at Revere Beach in June.” A stage engagement was to follow.

But around the time that Miss Buss became Miss Kawrence in February, her mother fell ill. She died three months later at the age of 46.

"I decided I could not contin­ue and that pleased my father,” said Ms. Collins, lightheartedly. “If I had been carefree it would have been different, but I wasn't and 1 think I was very attached to my mother so I took it very hard.”

On the verge of the Great Depression, Miss Buss took over the task of raising her brothers and sisters, aged 5, 9, 12 and 15. She says she didn’t think much

While other sports such as baseball and soccer develop team spirit, martial arts work on individual skills your child

needs to succeed. Much of the martial arts training will, of course, help with performance in other sports. Balance,

flexibility, strength, stamina and coordination go a long way in most sports. In our Kung Fu program, your child will

develop all of those skills, plus a lot more such as increased concentration, self-discipline, self-confidence and integrity.

Hearing set on Main Street plans at PA

A design public hearing will be held by the Massachusetts Highway Depart­ment Wednesday, April 3, in the select­men’s office at town offices on Bartlet Street, at 7 p.m. The purpose of the hearing is to discuss the proposed roadway reconstruction and traffic sig­nal improvements of Main Street (Route 28) at Phillips Academy.

The proposed project consists of geo­metric improvements, installation of new traffic control signals, cold-plan­ning existing pavement and resurfac­ing, reconstruction of sidewalks and placement of pavement markings. The right side curbline along both sides of Route 28 will essentially remain the same. The existing grassed median will be widened, narrowing the pro­posed roadway surface. The project includes Main Street from approxi­mately 300 feet north of its intersection with School Street, continuing souther­ly to approximately 400 feet south of its intersection with Dwight Street.

Written statements and other exhibits in place, or in addition to, oral statements made at the public hearing are to be submitted to Thomas F. Brod­erick II, Acting Chief Engineer, Mas­sachusetts Highway Department, 10 Park Plaza, Boston, Mass. 02116. Such submissions will also be accepted at the hearing. The final date of receipt of these statements and exhibits will be 10 days after the hearing. Plans will be on display one hour before the hearing begins with an engineer in attendance to answer questions.

munity Hero,"Mr. Samel was one of 5,500 community

heroes selected in a nationwide search con­ducted by the United Way. These community heroes will comprise most of the 10,000 torch- bearers who will help transport the Olympic Elame by torch starting in Ix)s Angeles on April 27. The Olympic Flame will travel more than 15,000 miles through 42 states in 84 days to Atlanta, Ga., where it will kick off the 1996 Centennial Olympic Games on July 19.

“We were picked not for our athletic abili­ty, but for our contributions to the communi­ty," said Mr. Samel.

Kenneth A. Gallant, Merrimack Valley United Way president, said, “Individuals were nominated last fall through an entry form which included an essay of up to 100 words on why the nominee possesses the qualities of a community hero. The commu­nity heroes were selected as those who make significant contributions to others through outstanding volunteer work and community leadership, by performing acts of generosity and kindness and heroic feats. Evaluation was conducted by 157 citizen panels with at least one judging site located in every state. Each entry was read and scored indepen­dently by three separate judges."

According to the ACOG, Mr. Samel’s com­munity contributions embody the spirit of the Olympic movement: the respect for human dignity, the joy found in effort, the value of good example and service in others - simple qualities of a hero.

Mr. Samel is a member of the I^awrence Rotary Club where a fellow member nomi­nated him. He has served as director, trea­surer and special events chairman for the Rotarians. Mr. Samel also served as the state games director of the Special Olympics.

Mr. Samel’s volunteer activities also include coordinating the Adopt-a-School pro gram at James S. Hennessey Elementary School in Lawrence. He also reads once a month to a third-grade class and provides frequent barbecues, funded by the Rotary club, for the school.

“Jon works tirelessly on our behalf,” said

Jonathan Samel works to get the flame of the torch under control for a series of photos.

Alyce Merlino, principal at Hen­nessey School. “1 cannot say enough about him. Jonathan is absolutely wonderful and we love him."

Mr. Samel said he will run for half a mile with a 3.5-pound torch Saturday, June 15. He won’t know exactly where he’s running until the first week in June, but

said that it will occur as close to Andover as possible.

The ACOG is allotting each runner two to three hours to run the half mile and expects the flame to travel an average of 150 miles in 15 hours each day. The ACOG said that the Olympic Torch Relay is not an athletic event, but is designed to share the spirit of the Olympic Games throughout the United States.

According to Mr. Samel, however. “They want you to move in a timely fashion."

Mr. Samel said that the ACOG gave him an in-depth questionnaire regarding his physical and athletic capabilities and will provide an escort runner for his segment of the torch relay.

For his efforts, Mr. Samel will receive a free official 1996 Olympic Torch Relay torch- bearer uniform and the opportunity to buy for $275 the torch that he will be carrying during his segment of the relay.

Besides the 5,500 community heroes, there will be 800 U.S. Olympians, 500 international torchbearers and an estimated 2,000 individ­uals, to be selected through Coca-Cola’s “Share the Spirit,” contest who will carry the flame in honor of 100 years of athleticism and feats in modem Olympic Games compe­tition.

School building contract{Continued bom page I)

one default clause.Mr. Urbelis said this means

Andover “is entitled to certain remedies as described in the con­tract if the contractor defaults or fails to live up to his contractual obligations.”

Andover also does not have a penalty clause but does have a damages-for delay clause that allows it to recover damages caused by Stone-Congress. This could include money to pay for keeping architects and consul­tants on the job longer and mon­ey for items such as temporary heat, said Mr. Urbelis.

Mr. Urbelis said, “I’d really rather not get into" why no mon­ey is being withheld besides the retainage typically withheld dur­ing a project.

The Andover School Building Committee will ask for $2.43 mil­lion more at Town Meeting to complete the AHS project.

While the Andover High pro­ject was originally scheduled to be finished by the opening of school in September, Stone- Congress is now saying the school won’t be complete until April, 1997. Andover has agreed to give Stone-Congress more time than was awarded in the original contract. But Town Manager Buzz Stapczynski said the town granted the extra time but not because there are prob­lems with the architects’ docu­ments.

"Mostly it’s latent condition type things," said Jim Marsh, building committee chairman, explaining the extra time.

Although Andover is not with­holding any money except retainage, Mr. Urbelis said he, the architects’ lawyers and the project manager have discussed how to handle the problems with the project. “You can rest assured that from August of 1995 there have been many discus­sions,” said Mr. Urbelis.

Is Andover documenting expenses it will ask the contrac­tor to pay for at the project’s end? Mr. Urbelis said he’d rather not comment on that.

Mr. Urbelis said Andover would “not necessarily” have to kick the contractor off the job if it declared the contractor in default. But he would not com­ment on what other options Andover would have available.

Andover’s contract differs from Mashpee’s because Mash pee is believed to have a liquidat­ed-damages clause, while Andover has a damages-for-delay clause.

"A liquidated-damages clause is a clause in which if the con­tractor is in delay of completion there is a pre set determined amount that he is assessed per day,” said Mr. Urbelis, who notes he has not seen the entire Mashpee contract and is not sure it has such a clause.

For instance, the town might be entitled to $250 per day if it can prove the contractor is responsible for the delay.

"There’s pluses and minuses to a liquidated-damages clause. If a liquidated damages clause is in fact enforced then, generally, you cannot get any other dam­ages. If you have damages

beyond that $250 per day you many not in some circumstances be able to recover them,” said Mr. Urbelis. “If (you) have (actu­al) damages of $10,000 per day, you may in some circumstances, I don’t want to say all, be precluded from recovery.”

Another problem is that if the liquidated damages clause asks for too much money per day than is reasonable, a court could rule that the town doesn’t get any money.

But Andover’s contract contains a sen tence reading, “Nothing herein shall limit the owner’s right to liquidated or other dam­ages for delays by the contractor or to any other remedy which the owner many possess under other provisions of the contract docu­

murao

’'ftflp

ments or by law.”Mr. Urbelis said he believes, “That is

much broader than any liquidated damages clause that Mashpee has, even though I haven’t seen theirs. If theirs is a liquidated damages (clause), this is much broader.”

The town counsel said when people get a chance to see sections such as the new gym or the new science wing, they will see an impressive structure.

"Keep that in mind. Keep your eyes on the prize. What is the goal here?” he said. “You have to take everything into consideration in deciding how you approach a project, an on­going project, that has had some delays.”

Town trash contract could cost, or save, millionsBy Don Staruk

Town officials suggested a Special Town Meeting will be needed this fall to deal with a proposal for a major change for the trash-to-ener- gy plant in North Andover where Andover sends its trash.

According to offi­cials from the North East Solid Waste Committee (NESWC), a consor­tium of 23 area com­munities including Andover, who made a presentation to selectmen Monday night, trash fees at the plant are already double the state aver­age and could more than double again in the next few years. Andover paid $1.5 million for trash dis­posal last year.

A plan has been negotiated to stabi­lize the rate, but it could involve an immediate 26 per­cent increase in the fees and an exten­sion of the town’s contract with the trash plant from the 10 years remaining on its current con­tract to 20 years.

Andover and the

other 23 communi­ties have to make a decision on whether to accept the new contract by Nov. 15 of this year. That decision would have to be through a town meeting vote, accord­ing to Steven M. Rothstein, NESWC executive director.

Don Robb.

Finance Committee chairman, said Mon­day that the agree­ment would not require a town meet­ing vote, but Larry Larsen, selectmen chairman, said it would still be a good idea to have the spe­cial town meeting to let residents decide.

Article 83 on next

month’s Town Meet­ing warrant address­es this issue, asking voters to authorize selectmen and the town manager to negotiate an agree­ment with the plant operator. But Bob McQuade, Public Works director and Andover’s represen­tative to NESWC.

recommended Mon­day night that no action be taken on the article at the upcoming town meeting.

Mr. McQuade said that would give the town time to get firm figures on various costs involved, and to continue negotia­tions with Whee-

labrator Environ­mental Systems Inc., the owner/operator of the trash plant.

According to NESWC officials, the plant was built in the mid-1970s when ener­gy prices were on the rise and landfills were slated to be closed by the state. The revenues pro­

duced by the sale of the electricity pro­duced at the plant were tp have kept trash costs down. But energy prices stopped rising, the state did not close all the landfills and recycling has reduced the amount of trash going to the plant.

Despite the fact that three names will appear on the ballot for the School Committee seat, only two remain in the race. One-term incumbent School Committee member Richard R. Muller, 43, of 18 Candlewood Drive, faces a challenge from Eric J. Nadworny, 42. of 8 Rogers Brook East. Timothy M. McCarron withdrew from the race, but his name remains on the ballot because the forms were already print­ed. Ms. Hanson said she turned down a request by some residents for her to post notice of Mr. McCarron’s with­drawal in the voting booths.

Mr. Muller is vice president and general manager of Fagor Electronic Components of Andover. He has three children in the school system.

Mr. Nadworny, a fonner member of both the Shawsheen and Townwide PTOs, is an attorney serving as nation al director of labor relations for Ven- cor Inc. He has two children in the school system.

John Doyle, 71, of 40 Reservation Road, is challenging Mr. Doherty for the moderator position for the ninth time. Mr. Doyle, a professional air­plane model builder, has challenged Mr. Doherty the last eight years, since 1988, and come up short each time.

Mr. Doherty, 80. of 9 Juniper Road, is the incumbent town moderator look­ing for his 19th one-year term. Mr. Doherty owned and operated Doherty Insurance on Elm Street until he retired. First elected in 1978, Mr. Doherty, is a life-long Andover resi­dent and author of a book on the town. Andover As I Remember It.

William T. Downs, of 147 Elm St., is running unopposed for his fourth three-year term on the Boani of Select­men. He was first elected to the five- member board in 1987. He also serves on the town's retirement board. Mr.

Candidates clarify some issues after flier controversyBy Don Staruk

Incumbent School Committee can­didate Dick Muller this week changed a flier before it was distributed in this week’s Townsman after several com­plaints that statements in it were either wrong or misleading.

Mr. Muller is running for re-elec­tion against Eric Nadworny in this Monday’s town election.

Mr. Muller handed out the fliers during the recycling collection at West Middle School Saturday, March 16. It included five statements citing Mr. Muller’s position on different issues, with each followed by a line saying “My opposition” voted against (Mr. Muller’s) position or otherwise had a different position.

By Monday morning, several peo­ple had called the Townsman to say the information was untrue if “my opposition’’ meant Mr. Nadworny. Mr. Muller says “my opposition” does not specifically mean Mr. Nadworny, but “people formerly on the School Committee who currently have come out supporting Mr. Nadworny.”

He named Mary Lyman, Bill Hus­ton and Sue Jenkins, all former School Committee members, as three to whom he is referring, but said his opposition certainly is not restricted to those three.

“It has to do with people who repre­sent the other sides of those issues, who have become very vocal support­ers of Mr. Nadworny,” Mr. Muller said. “The opposition is all those peo­ple who have taken opposite positions and who are holding signs for Mr. Nadworny.”

Mr. Muller deleted the lines related to his “opposition" for the version of the flier distributed with today’s Townsman.

“I don’t back off from the flier," Mr. Muller said.

“I think the use of a flier like this

speaks for itself,” Mr. Nadworny said. “We’ve got to focus on the issues that confront us now, not past issues.”The issues

Because the flier already is in the hands of several residents, the Towns­man this week asked the candidates to clarify their positions on those specif­ic issues mentioned in it. They are addressed here one at a time.

• Shawsheen SchoolIn the flier, Mr. Muller said he vot­

ed to keep Shawsheen School open. “My opposition voted to close the school.”

“I’ve never been his opposition and I’ve never voted on anything" in that regard, Mr. Nadworny said. “I was president of the Shawsheen PTO for a full year before he was elected and we fought to keep that school open suc­cessfully.”

Mr. Muller said he worked on the Shawsheen School issue before he was elected and that he doesn’t remember Mr. Nadworny taking an active role in that discussion.

• Condom distributionIn his flier, Mr. Muller said he vot­

ed against condom distribution in the High School, and that “my opposition voted to offer condoms to the kids.”

“Absolutely incorrect. I didn’t vote,” Mr. Nadworny said. “I can’t say that I have any familiarity with that issue, with what was discussed at the School Committee level, because I wasn’t on the committee. I was not familiar with the information that was available to the School Committee when they made their decision.”

But he would not commit to a posi­tion now. "The current position is that they are not being distributed and I have no problem with that position.” Mr. Nadworny said. “It’s not a current issue.”

one’s position is is important because it can be put on the agenda at anytime” by any School Com­mittee member. Mr. Muller said. ‘‘To answer the question with that ‘it’s not an issue right now,’ doesn’t leave me with a great deal of comfort. It’s avoid­ing the issue.”

• Busing feesMr. Muller’s flier

said he voted to elim­inate busing fees, but that *'my opposition voted to continue charging you those fees.”

"We fought the imposition of those fees in the first place, and obviously sup­ported them being eliminated.” Mr. Nadworny said.

Mr. Muller said he was in the minority in that vote, w’hich was 3-2, along with Ms. Dalton.

Later, after a non­binding town meet­ing vote recommend­ed eliminating bus­ing fees, the School Committee followed suit.

• 6th-grade mathMr. Muller’s flier

said he supported offering accelerated sixth-grade math, and to continue the current leveling at AHS. "My opposition disagreed,” Mr. Muller said.

Mr. Nadworny said he is somewhat unfamiliar with the issue but that he has said he supports lev­eling where appro­priate.

• RedistrictingMr. Muller said in

his flier that he sup­ported the redistrict­ing plan for the schools utilizing new space in South School and the full utilization of Shaw- sheen School. “My opposition w’anted to delay this initiative,” Mr. Muller wrote.

When the redis­tricting plan was first proposed, it called for the elimi­nation of the Shaw- sheen School pro­gram. Mr. Nadworny

said, which he opposed. And the plan was not widely publicized, he said. “The original plan was also not accept­ed by the School Committee. It was changed.”

Mr. Muller said the School Commit­tee did vote to delay that initial plan and later came back with a new plan that they eventually approved. It was on the agenda five times before the final meeting on it, Mr. Muller said. The plan was presented and discussed with several groups and, after several changes were made, it was approved by a 3-1-1 vote with Ms. Lyman abstaining and Mr. Huston voting against it. Mr. Wil­ley, Ms. Dalton and Mr. Muller voted for the final plan.

• AHS construc­tion funding

In his flier, Mr. Muller also brings

up the issue of addi­tional funding for the AHS building project. “I feel strongly that if addi­tional money is need­ed to finish the job, it must be funded from available funds, and not from an increase

in taxes,” Mr. Muller said in his flier.

“He’s already vot­ed to pay for it out of an increase in tax­es,” Mr. Nadworny said. He pointed to the School Commit­tee’s vote last Tues­day in which mem­

bers voted to recom­mend approval of the warrant article ask­ing for an additional $2.43 million for the construction. The proposal includes a debt plan that calls for increased taxes.

What Mr. Muller

said he meant by his statement in the flier is that the additional cost should be fund­ed “without another (Proposition 2)0 over­ride and within the confines of what the town manager has recommended as rea­

sonable debt for the Capital Improve­ment Plan.” If that means other projects have to be delayed, then that’s what it means, Mr. Muller said. Completion of AHS should be a pri-

Grand marshal in St. Patrick's Day ParadeBy Carly Nelson

“The perception is that my people are homophobes," said Chester Darling, an Andover resident and lawyer who represent­ed the South Boston Allied War Veterans Council in the trial to ban gay and lesbian groups from participating in the St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Boston. The state courts ini­tially overturned the ban, but the US Supreme Court unanimously ruled last June that the parade was a private event, and the council could exclude gays and lesbians.

(The council) “didn't want a group of out­siders in the parade,” said Mr. Darling. Parade marshal

As thanks for his support, the parade committee appointed Mr. Darling grand marshal of the parade last Sunday.

“I rode in front with (parade director John) Hurley. I’ve never seen a million peo­ple in one place before,” said Mr. Darling. “I got a nice thanks from the people on the street. It was an appropriate finish to the case.”

Mr. Darling took the case pro-bono. “I took the case for my fundamental belief in the First Amendment. (Gays) didn’t have a right to interrupt our parade.”

Mr. Darling said he and his clients have nothing personal against gays. “I know’ you think I'm an Archie Bunker. But I have no desire to sit on the side of haters.”

'City of Angels' at Andover High March 29-30 SchoolTalk

South School fourth-graders perform the plantation work song Follow the Drinking Gourd, which helped direct escaped slaves to freedom. The March 12 pageant, full of pre-Civil War black folksongs, celebrated the Underground Railroad. Linda O’Donnell, who teaches music at South, organized the pro­gram, assisted by Lilia Gourian.

Andover High musicians and thespians are working on one of their most chal­lenging performances to date. The Andover Drama Guild will sponsor the double­cast musical “City of Angels” next weekend, March 29-30, in the Collins Center. Tickets are $8. Show time is 8 p.m. on both nights. “Donna/Oolie” will be played by sophomore Lindsey Strube (in photo) and senior Mira Tamarkin.

< The “Baggy/- Bobbi” role will be played by senior Kelly Davis (at far left) and sopho­more Jen Powers. The story mixes fiction with reali­ty as author “Stine,” played by Todd Buonopane (not in photo), reacts with his fic­tional detective, “Stone,” played by T.J. Witham (in photo). Most char­acters have two parts to play, as they represent real-life actors and actresses who play fictional characters in the scenes depicting a movie.

Seniors Rick Snyder (center of photo) and Keith Putnam will play the roles of “Buddy/Irwin,” wliich organizers said was the play’s most ohnoxious character.

Fourth-grade students at South Elementary School per­formed in a pageant celebrating the Underground Railroad on Tuesday, March 12. Linda O’Donnell, who teaches music at South, assisted by Lilia Gourian, organized the program built around plantation work songs, coded songs like “Follow the Drinking Gourd,” which helped direct escaped slaves to freedom, and other pre-Civil War black folksongs. Fourth-graders per­formed the music and recited poetry and prose selections on the theme of slavery, including Dream Variations by Langston Hughes.

The fourth-grade curriculum includes study of the Southeast United States history and econo­my, which was built on slavery before the 1860s. As part of their lessons, students composed cre­ative pieces on this subject. Lydia Wise’s class wrote poems from the point of view of a slave. Beth Kennedy’s students took on the persona of a northerner witness­ing slavery on a trip to the South and wrote newspaper articles about the experience. Members of both classes recited their work as part of the program.

The Underground Railroad presentation and its preparation integrated the music curriculum with the social studies and lan­guage arts curriculums. The per­formance allowed the fourth grade to share that experience with the whole school.

* * *The student producers of Our

World gathered at Doherty Mid­dle School last Thursday, March 14, with their parents and family members to watch the premiere of the 60-minute television docu­mentary, which was shown on local cable Channel 12.

The Doherty students had eagerly awaited the premiere, postponed because of a March 7 snowstorm. Refreshments were served, and the students and par­ents joined Harry Durso, the pro­ject director, in discussing the show’s impact on the community. The Doherty students who pro­duced the documentary are cur­rent eighth-graders Aynslie Accomando, Peter Edgerly, Nicholas Fitzpatrick, Juliet Grabowski, Kevin Hess, Aaron Litvin, Bonnie Miner, Katina McClain, Megan Monroe, Crys­tal Raadmae, Beth Regan, Bar-

16 THE TOWNSMAN. MARCH 21, 1996On CampusSix students from

Andover were named to the dean’s list at Bates College as a result of their scholastic standing during the first semester of the 1995-’96 aca­demic year.

Stuart B. Abelson, ajunior neuroscience major, is the son of I)rs. Mark and Annalee Abelson of 26 Phillips St. Mr. Abelson was a Dana Scholar in 1994. He is the founder and coach of the Bates water-ski club, presi­dent of the Bates aviators and the 1995 National colle­giate trick water-ski champi­on. He was named All Ameri­can on the national team and is the New Hampshire and Pine Tree (Maine) state champion. Mr. Abelson is the technical director for the Bates College television net­work. He graduated from Pingree School in 1993.

Weslie S. Byers, a senior English major, is the daugh­ter of Philip and Karen Byers of 1 Carriage Hill Road. Ms. Byers spent the winter semester of her junior year in England. She is a 1992 graduate of Andover High School.

Max N. Dawson, a sopho­more biology major, is the son of Adrian and Molly Dawson of 7 Belle Isle Way. The Andover High School graduate was a volunteer for the Androscoggin Land Trust program and is a mem­ber of the men’s cross-coun­try team.

Emily H. Girdwood. asenior art major, is the daughter of Andrew and Bet- tina Girdwood of 15 Tucker Road. She is a 1992 graduate of Deerfield Academy.

Melanie A. McGarry, a sophomore, is the daughter of William and Penelope McGarry of 16 Bannister Road. The Andover High School graduate participated in the Career Discovery Internship program and Peaks Day, to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the Bates Outing Club.

* * *Anna Minkkinen, daugh­

ter of Allan and Leena Minkkinen of 24 Dale St., completed her first profes­sional film as director and screenwriter while a Ful­bright Scholar at the Univer­sity of Art and Design in Helsinki, Finland. Presently, she is a graduate student at San Francisco State Univer­sity, where she is a graduate assistant working on her master’s degree in film. .

The film, which she co­produced with the Finnish Broadcasting Co., has been on Finnish television and

was pre­sented at t h e Munich, G e r • many,

™ and Tam­pere, Fin- land, film festi- vals.

It has Anna been

Minkkinen selected to be

shown at the Chicago Inter­national “Women in the Director’s Chair” Film Festi­val this year. Still photos from her film were used in the Chicago festival’s brochure, which referred to the film as "a visually stun­ning narrative.” Ms. Minkki­nen has been invited to the Tel Aviv, Israel, Film Festi­val in June, where she will present her film and par­ticipate in master classes.

The film is an allegorical narrative based on themes found in the Finnish nation­al epic, The Kalevala. Although this short film, Home Cooking, focuses on the section of the Kalevala entitled The Gold and Silver Bride, about Ilmarinen’s attempt to resurrect his dead wife, it does not attempt to retell this particular story in a conventional narrative for­mat. There is no spoken dia­logue. The film uses symbol­ism and mood to evoke not only the story of Ilmarinen and his wife, but also charac­ters and themes that run through the Kalevala. Ms. Minkkinen said, "I hoped as a director to create a poetic piece that captures the magic of the Kalevala through its visual atmosphere.”

Ms. Minkkinen attended the Andover public schools, Phillips Academy, and Brown University. She was active in the instrumental music programs, art and dra­ma activities in the Andover schools. “It is only natural that she would have selected a career in the arts in her professional life,” her par­ents said.

* * *Amy Baker of Andover

has been named to the dean’s list at the College of Educa­tion, Nursing and Health Professions, University of Hartford, Conn., for the 1995 fall semester.

Deborah Barry ofAndover was named to the dean’s list at Randolph- Macon College in Ashland, Va., for the 1995 fall semester.

Students qualify for the dean’s list if they have been enrolled in no less than 12 semester hours, earned a quality point average of at least 3.25 on a 4.0 scale, and no grade below C- in academ­ic subjects that term.

* * *Andover residents have

been named to the dean’s list at Bentley College in Waltham for outstanding academic achievement and the president’s list for extraordinary academic achievement in the fall 1995 semester.

Tracy Joyce, a junior computer information sys­tems major, was named to the president’s list.

Jennifer Cavicchi, a senior accountancy major, and Michael Leamy, a sophomore business commu­nication major, were named to the dean’s list.

The Greater Lawrence Habitat for Humanity will pre­sent the Saengerfest Concert Chorus in a benefit concert at Phillips Academy’s Cochran Chapel Sunday, March 24, at 3 p.m. A private reception for sponsors will be held at Phillips Academy’s Addison Gallery of American Art at 5 p.m. Proceeds from the concert and sponsor’s reception will help the Greater Lawrence Habitat for Humanity (GLHFH) meet its mission to build simple, adequate hous­ing and provide homeowner- ship in partnership with peo­ple in need. Concert tickets are $15 ($10 for children 12 and under). Tickets for the concert and private reception and buf­fet are $125. For tickets and information are available. Call the GLHFH office at 681-8858.

Auction to follow concertThe Greater Lawrence Habitat for Humanity will hold a

silent auction Sunday. March 24, at the Addison Gallery at a reception directly after the Saengerfest Concert at Cochran Chapel at Phillips Academy.

Donations of items, theme baskets and/or gift certificates are needed to be included in the auction to raise funds to build homes in Lawrence for qualified families.

Send contributions to Joan M. Sweeney, Silent Auction Co­chairwoman, Whiffletree Circle, Andover, 01810.

The Saengerfest Concert Chorus is comprised of some 40 male voices who perform traditiorral English, Welsh, and American folk songs, spir­ituals, and classical excerpts as well as popular pieces and original choral music com­

posed and/or arranged for Saengerfest. The chorus is a select group of members of Saengerfest, which originated just after the turn of the centu­ry in Cambridge, when a Har­vard Medical School professor from time to time invited his students for an evening of light refreshments and singing. These occasions were so enjoyed that, upon graduation, the doctors continued to get together, inviting friends from other professions in the Boston area to join them. Today the Saengerfest has approximately 150 members, who meet four times a year for a social hour, dinner, and an evening of song. The full group never sings in public and members, no matter what pro­fession, still refer to each other as doctor.

<4 The Boston Saengerfest Concert Chorus will come to Andover, giving a bene­fit concert in Phillips Academy’s Cochran Chapel Sunday, March 24, at 3 p.m. The local member of the group, Sam Rogers (front row, second from right, and at right), was introduced to Saengerfest by the late Phil Allen andJack Hawes, Sam’s wife, Andy (above right), gave him a CD of Welsh male choirs that captured his imagination and started his collection of recordings. The Rogers have made numerous trips to England and Wales.

26 THE TOWNSMAN, MARCH 21, 1996What’s UpYouth Council says, "Never give up!"By Kate Brown and Valerie Parker A YC members

Last year was both a tough and exciting year for the Andover

Youth Council. We had some pretty big letdowns, but the AYC has learned from its experience, and has received support from various groups in Andover.

One of the Youth Council's beliefs is to “always stay posi­tive."

Now it is March1996, and people are wondering, “What is going on with the Andover Youth Council now?”Despite the chal­lenges the Council faces this year, one thing is certain: the new year brought a freshly energized Youth Council, and with it, exciting new ideas for the youth’s future in Andover.

in addition to Andover Youth Council veterans Kate Brown, Pat Sharkey, Valerie Parker, Todd Buonopane, Dave Gutstein, Donny Pat- tullo, Lacy Arse­nault, Pete Zetlan and Carey Levine, new members Elise Brierly, Jennifer Solomon, Geoffrey Gresh, Meghan Gregg, Leah Sciabar­rasi, Eric Stoltz and Kelly Ellis have been selected to create an entirely new group of leaders who are ready to improve upon the conditions for youth in Andover.Continuing events

The Andover Youth Council plans to continue holding various events like Comedy Night, the Movement techno­rave. the Holiday Java Jam. Home for the Holidays alumni concert. Bridging the Gap, and concerts. Main Street Madness

VARICOSE VEINSDID YOU KNOW:

Varicose veins are caused by increased pressure in the legs due to height, the physical strain of working or pregnancy Prolonged standing or sitting can add to the problem

As you age, the walls in your veins lose elasticity. The valves which con­trol blood flow back to your heart may not close completely which allows blood to escape. The result is varicose veins and/or swelling caus­ing discomfort and pain With mod­em techniques, compression hosiery.

commonly known as surgical stock­ings, allows for a two-way stretch yarn that is elastic in all directions. This allows for a smooth fit with no wrinkles. The porous texture allows skin to breathe freely to reduce sweating, itching, etc. Surgical stock­ings are available in a variety of sizes and compressions. (May require pre­scription ) Stop by and have certified fitters help you to determine how surgical stockings can help you with your painful or swollen legs.

Call today for an appointment for a private consultation. Our experienced fitters will help

you and your doctor select a stocking that is right for you.

springtime events have literary twistBy Virginia Lopez Begg 350th Committee

Artists and jxx?ts are invited to partici­pate in two events, both sponsored by the 350th Committee, which will cele­brate Andover’s 350th anniversary.

A townwide art exhibit, “Andover in His­tory,” will take place April 22-25 at four loca­tions: Memorial Hall Library; Old Town Hall; the Baptist Church; the Unitarian Church. Those who sculpt, take photographs, work with clay, paper or natural materials, in addi­tion to those who paint and draw, are encour­aged to create works depicting Andover.

All adult artists must register with Fran McCormick, 64 Bartlet St., by Tuesday, March 26. Forms and registration details are available at the library and at Old Town Hall. School children will participate in the Fine Arts Festival through their art teachers.

Artists may explore Andover streets and nature reservations for subjects in all sea­sons, with views from the past, present or future. The exhibit will feature an opening gala on Tuesday, April 23, and refreshments, flower arrangements and music at each site.

The 350th Committee will also sponsor a poetry festival, “Landscapes and Legends: Poems for the Andovers,” Sunday, Nov. 24. The festival will celebrate Andover’s poetic tradition from the days of Native Americans into the 21st century, and will include a poet­ry reading, an exhibit of poetry by local poets, past and present, and the publication of a booklet containing a sampling of the fes­tival’s poems.

Wednesday. May 1, is the deadline for poems intended for both the reading and the booklet; poems for the reading only must be submitted by June 30 and marked “Reading only.” All poems should be sent with a stamped, self-addressed envelope to David Rodger, Andover Books and Prints, 68 Park St., Andover 01810.

Poems will be selected by a group of poets and teachers, and responses will be sent dur­ing the summer. High school and college stu­dents should include the name of their school.

SIDE BY SIDEThe loss of a spouse may be so deep as to be nearly indistin­

guishable from losing part of one’s own self The committed relationship we call marriage serves to coalesce two souls in ways that may render marriage partners nearly indistinguish­able Nowhere is this sentiment more aptly expressed than in the words ot Alexander Smith attesting to the closeness of the marriage bond 'There is a peculiar beauty about Godly old age - the beauty of holiness Husband and wife who have fought the world side by side, who have made common stock of joy or sor­row. and become aged together, are not infrequently found cun- ously alike in personal appearance, in pitch and tone of voice, lust as twin pebbles on the beach, exposed to the same tidal influences, are each other's alter ego'

The sudden change from being a husband or wife to being widowed takes a long time to believe, adjust to and accept Prepanng tor possible widowhood is wise This means that hus­bands and wives should discuss and share financial decisions, funeral arrangements, and other practical matters and responsi­bilities ahead o, time Understanding, awareness of needs and practical help can make adjustments to widowhood a little easi­er For more intormation about pre-planning, contact BURKE FUNERAL HOME at 475- 5200 or see us at 390 North Main Street

Storyteller at theAndover Bookstore

Storyteller MarciaEstabrook will be at the Andover Bookstore Friday,

March 22. at 7 p.m. to perform a character portrayal of Ellen Craft, escaped slave.

On Dec. 22, 1848, a light skinned Georgia slave, dis­guised as a white male planta­tion owner, traveled north to freedom with her husband, William, posing as her slave. Four days later, on Christmas morning, they set foot on the free soil of Philadelphia, Pa. The four days were filled with danger, deception, risk, intrigue, close shaves and prayer as well as humor and surprise.

Through Ms. Estabrook, Ellen Craft tells the story of

their daring escape from slav­ery, not on the underground railway, but on the real rail­road, and of their subsequent trials dealing with their newly- found freedom in Boston, Bris­tol, England, and eventually, back in Georgia.

Ms. Estabrook, founder of “Characters” Educational The­ater in Dedham, brings history to life through her characters.

AAUW has workshopon therapeutic touch

The American Association of University Women will explode the role of women as healers in an experiential workshop on therapeutic touch Wednesday, March 27, at 7:30 p.m. at Sutton Hill Nurs­

ing and Retirement Center, 1801 Turnpike St., North Andover.

Since ancient times, the practice of lying on of hands has had a significant role in the healing practices of may cultures. Therapeutic touch is a contemporary interpretation of these ancient healing prac­tices. With increased interest in the mind/body connection, therapeutic touch has become an important modality in the holistic health movement For a more comprehensive approach to staying healthy, traditional medical diagnosis and treatments are more com­monly being combined with alternative health practices involving nutrition counseling and stress-management strate­

gies.Participants of the work­

shop will learn the role of relaxation in facilitating heal­ing and have a chance to expe­rience several phases of the therapeutic touch process.

The workshop will be con­ducted by StefTanie S. Mul- loney, a registered nurse who has studied healing for 18 years. Ms. Mulloney is founder and coordinator of the Thera­peutic Touch Support Group of Boston and was recently fea­tured on Channel 7 Healthcast.

The workshop is open to the public fee of charge. For infor­mation, call Alease Bruce at 475-3221. The American Associ­ation of University Women is an organization that promotes education and equity.

Selectmen, FinCom: Add $500k to schools budgetAndover's total budget could exceed $70 million for the first timeBy Don Staruk

Selectmen and Finance Committee members this week agreed to recom­mend giving the schools another $500,000 in the Fiscal 1997 budget.

Both boards recommended raising taxes to fund the increase. Approval of the extra funds at April Town Meeting would result in about a $31 increase in taxes for the owners of a $235,000 house. (At the meeting Monday night, Finance Director Tony Torrisi said the effect would be about $55 on the aver­age house, but he revised that figure Tuesday.)

"We would be hard pressed to rec­ommend anything higher than that $500,000,” Finance Committee Chair­man Don Robb told selectmen when asked if his board would consider a higher counter offer from the School Committee.

The School Committee had asked for an additional $1.25 million, but at its meeting last Tuesday. March 12, direct­

FinCom Chairman Don Robb makes a point dur­ing a recent meeting about the budget.

ed Superintendent Richard Neal to go back through the budget to try to reduce that figure.

The $500,000 will bring the increase in the schools budget, from last year to this year, from the towm manager’s rec­ommended 5.5 percent to 6.2 percent.

It will also consume abbut half of the surplus levy capacity, which was about $900,000 coming into this year, a sum that selectmen and the town manager had built into the budget over the last few years. The levy limit is the maxi­mum amount of revenues the town can raise through property taxes within the guidelines of Proposition 2k.

The vote by selectmen was 4-1 in favor of adding the $500,000 to the school budget, with Selectman William Downs opposed. Mr. Downs favored

($35,500)

waiting until the School Committee came back with a revised Figure before taking any action.

Selectmen went through the entire FY’97 budget department by depart­ment at their meeting Monday night, recommending budget amounts for each. The Finance Committee had already done the same thing at its meeting a week earlier.

Town Meeting voters will see three sets of recommendations for the budget on the floor of the meeting next month. The town manager’s recommended budget is $69,885,705. The Finance Com­mittee’s recommended budget is $70,162,905. The selectmen’s recommen­dation is $70,358,905.

No new planner

In the General Government account, selectmen voted 4-1, with James Baren­boim opposed, to reduce the town man­ager’s recommended budget by $37,800. Their recommendation is the same as

the FinCom’s. It removes funding

for arequested third planner position, and a computer ($2,300) requested by the Commission on Disabilities.

Selectmen told the town manager he is welcome to contract services for a part-time planner, not a regular employee, if he could fund it with cuts made elsewhere in the General Gov­ernment budget.

Michael Miller, Planning Board chairman, pled with board members to fund the planning position. The Plan ning Board recently voted to raise fees on various permits to raise a projected extra $110,000 this year, Mr. Miller

said. That was done, in part, to fund the third position, he said.

“With all due respect, I’m disap­pointed,’’ Mr. Miller said after select­men indicated they would not fund the position.

Prior to the budget discussion, selectmen had talked about having a task force study the impact of growth in town, and how planners would have to play an active role in that group. Then they turned around and voted not to give planners the tools to work with, Mr. Miller said.

“I think that’s worse than taking no action at all,” he said. “I don’t know how you’re going to be pro-active... if you’re not going to provide the tools to do it.”

Mr. Miller did not say whether plan­ners would go back and take another vote to reduce the permit fees it had intended to raise. Last week he said that was a possibility.

Raise Spring Grove fees

Selectmen went along with the town manager’s recommendation on the Municipal Maintenance budget, as did the FinCom, but went along with the FinCom’s suggestion to move Spring Grove Cemetery toward self-sufficien­cy in two years.

They recommended raising the cemetery’s fees to cover half the town’s subsidy to the cemetery ($35,000 of the $70,000) this year, and again to cover the balance next year.

Mr. Robb said the fees for burial in Spring Grove are well below those of the private cemeteries in town, and that it does not appear those in finan­cial straights are the ones making use of the facility. In many cases, those buried there are relatives of people who live or lived in town and never lived here or paid taxes to Andover, said FinCom member Gerald Mulligan. Mr. Mulligan said the town actually may be subsidizing the burial of those who least need it, those with the higher end incomes in town.

Four new police officers?

Selectmen at first agreed with Fin­Com members that three of four police patrol positions requested should not be funded, but later voted to recom­mend approval of the town manger’s Public Safety budget recommendation, which included funding for all four police jobs.

Selectmen and FinCom members agree that the town needs a DARE offi­cer, but the other three positions, which were requested to fill vacancies that are anticipated due to retirements, were not recommended by the FinCom. Although federal and/or state funding may be available initially to pay the salaries of the new officers, the added costs of training, overtime and benefits would not be covered, Mr. Robb said. And the federal subsidies, if they ever materialized, would decrease each year, he said. Besides, the FinCom was never given adequate evidence that the positions were needed, Mr. Robb said.

“If you don’t really need it, then it’s not really a bargain,” Mr. Robb said.

Selectman Chairman Larry Larsen said he, too, had requested documenta­tion supporting the need for the new officers and that he never received it.

An amendment by Selectman Jerry Silverman to reduce the budget by the $90,000 for the three police jobs was rejected 2-3, with Mr. Silverman and Chairman Larry I^arsen in the minori­ty.

A subsequent vote to approve the entire public safety budget, including the $90,000 for the four police positions, was approved 3-2, with Dr. Larsen and

Selectman Bill Downs in the minority.

Fire Department budget

Prior to the public safety vote, Fire Chief Harold Hayes gave an impas­sioned pitch for full funding of his bud­get, which was approved as requested.

The FinCom had recommended not funding $100,000 in additional overtime that the town manager had agreed to fund in the recent contract settlement with firefighters.

Firefight ere said the money is need­ed to adequately staff both the second ambulance purchased last year and the ladder truck. Mr. Robb said the differ­ence in the health and safety protection provided by running the second ambu­lance didn’t justify the $100,000 expense, mostly because the second ambulance was only picking up service currently covered by mutual aid.

Due to increased revenues from fees charged for the second ambulance, fire officials estimate the net impact on the budget will be more like $40,000 to $60,000, not $100,000. Selectman Silver- man said that if the ambulance saved one life by getting to a scene quicker, it would be worth the money.

He also said the FinCom was over­stepping its bounds in trying not to fund a contract agreement made by the town manager.

Mr. Mulligan said that when the FinCom agreed last year to purchase a second ambulance, it was with assur­ances from firefighters that the staffing was in place to operate it. Now they were being told that is not the case.

Lt. Jim Cuticchia, firefighter’s union president, said firefighters did think they could staff the second ambu­lance without additional funding, but have since found they cannot adequate­ly maintain a full crew on both the sec­ond ambulance and the ladder compa­ny. That’s why the additional overtime money is needed, he said.

“We did not lie to you Mr. Mulligan. We did not lie to the Finance Commit­tee,” Lt. Cuticchia said.

In fighting for the funding, Chief Hayes recited a number of statistics. Since 1986, the number of ambulance calls has increased from 1,253 to 2,008 a year, he said. Mutual aid calls have tripled, from 109 to 313. Where the aver­age ambulance call used to last 35 to 45 minutes, each call now takes an hour to an hour and a half because of the increased services the attendants pro­vide. Chief Hayes also said Andover is the fastest growing community in the Merrimack Valley.

“I can’t raise Lazarus from the dead, and neither can my men. We need that ambulance,” Chief Hayes said in clos­ing.

Other recommendations

Selectmen and the FinCom agreed to recommend approval for the same amounts requested by the town manag­er for the rest of the town departments.

director, who said, “When you reach build out, you become static, and when you become static you die.” [Can devel­opment be stopped? Should it be?” Feb. 1 Townsman, page /.J

“That statement implies there are no limits to growth, and I think there are limits to growth,” Mr. French said. “The limits to growth in Andover are the square miles of space and the vision of its inhabitants as to what type of community it should be."

“I’m proud of the professionalism of Steve Colyer and his associates,” Mr. French said. “There is no animosity at all. But there is a very definite policy difference.”

Selectmen a few years ago hosted a series of mini town meetings to learn what residents in different neighbor­hoods felt the town’s priorities should be. One itemthat was ranked high in each of those meetings was conservation of open space.However, selectmen have not followed that mandate,Mr. French said. “Select­men have not given their sup­port to that,” he said.

The mechanisms being proposed now to manage growth - moratoriums, limiting building permits and institut­ing impact fees - have all been tried before, Mr. French said.

“I happen to feel we already have the mechanisms, through zoning and through town meeting and capital acquisitions of land,” Mr. French said.

Is it wrong to limit the town’s popu­lation? Mr. French says “no.”

“It’s necessary because I do not agree that there is room for untold growth,” Mr. French said. “If it contin­ues, Andover will not be the space that the majority of its citizens want it to be.”

Mr. French agrees with Mr. Colyer that there are ways to channel and manage growth. He favors land acqui­sition by the town, and rezoning to require larger lot sizes. He supports allowing high-density development in exchange for open space. He would rather see a multi-family unit on one portion of a lot and the rest of the land left open, than have single-family homes on all the land.

"Give credence to what the voters are saying by being willing to spend some money to buy land,” he said. It will be paid back with savings on the impact on schools. “Almost any acqui­sition of open space is an economic boon compared to the alternative, because any development will have higher costs generally speaking.

“I don’t think the majority of the town agrees that Andover dies if it stops growing," Mr. French said. “The

A1 French and Doug Johnson

majority doesn’t like traffic jams and the loss of open space.”Buy land to control growth

Liz Tentarelli, of 4 College Circle, is chairwoman of the Andover Trails Committee and a member of the local league of Women Voters Community Paths Committee, which is working to make better use of the open space that surrounds most new developments. Development will continue, she said.

“1 think it would be unrealistic to think that we’re going to stop it. So it’s best to plan for it,” Ms. Tentarelli said.

The warrant articles proposed for April Town Meeting could slow growth, she said, but she agrees with a statement by Mr. Colyer, [Feb. 29 Townsman, “Moratorium threat causes chaos for planners," page 71, that attempts to limit development just cause chaos, and it comes in clumps instead of spreading out.

“I’ve always thought if a town really wants to limit growth, then they ought to put their money where their mouth is and purchase land," Ms. Tentarelli said.

There is still roughly two-thirds left of the $1 million approved at town meeting a few years ago to purchase open space, she said.

“I think that's what a town has to do,” she said. “Decide which places you don’t want development and either negotiate conservation easements, or actually go out and purchase land.

“To go to a property owner and say, Don’t develop it because we don’t want any more development,’ is not fair,” Ms. Tentarelli said. “This idea of say­ing don’t develop it, we don’t want it, without compensation, doesn’t make sense.’’

Ms. Tentarelli said she has worked with these issues for a long time. When she lived in Atkinson, N.H., that town approved a bylaw that required devel­opers to give 10 percent of the property to the town for open space. That worked out well and the town got some nice little parks out of it, she said, until the bylaw was taken to court and the town lost. Although most developers didn’t come back for their 10-percent parcels, they could have, she said.

“Eventually, you realize growth is inevitable,” Ms. Tentarelli said. So it becomes an issue of managing it, she said.

Community Paths Program

wants to connect open spaceLiz Tentarelli, of 4 College Circle,

chairwoman of the Andover Trails Committee, is also a member of the local League of Women Voters Com­munity Paths Committee, which is working to make better use of the open space that surrounds most new developments. Without planning, growth will continue as It has been, she said, with most subdivisions con­sisting of cul-de-sacs and with little regard being given to the open spaces around them.

Working with the planning boards of Andover and North Andover, the LWV’s Paths Committee is urging that more attention be paid to the relation­ship between these various parcels of open space. They want more opportu­nity provided for their use for passive recreation through linking them. They want to connect them via trails between the neighborhoods, and to other open spaces, such as AVIS lands. Right now, the Andover Village Improvement Society has to fight for access every time a new development threatens to land-lock one of its prop­erties.

“What the League of Women Voters is trying to do is get planning boards and planners to think about this from the very beginning,” when that pro­posal first comes in, Ms. Tentarelli said.League favors management

The Andover League of Women

“In fact, Andover has done a won­derful job in controlling growth,” she said.

The Conservation Commission con­trols 1,500 acres of land. AVIS controls 1,000 acres.

“It’s impressive. It shows a commit­ment of many people in town to con­serve open space," she said.

Ms. Tentarelli would not support an effort, if one were made, to create two- or three-acre zoning in town, she said. Other than the downtown, most of Andover’s current residential zoning requires one-acre lots.

And she is not sure if she would sup port impact fees, but especially not if the town didn’t also kick in some mon­ey.

“It should not just be the new people in town who end up paying for this by having it tacked onto their house,” she said. She believes the town should match whatever the new home-buyers are asked to pay.

She thinks there will be “a lot of ranting and raving” at Town Meeting regarding the growth issues, and that Tom Urbelis, town counsel, will even­tually tell everyone what can be done legally, and there will be a vote. But she won’t predict how it would go.

Any citizen who hears there is going to be a development nearby seems to

Voters will meet near the end of March to discuss the April Town Meeting warrant articles regarding growth - the proposed impact fees and moratorium - and will take a position on the petitions before the Town Meet­ing.

Susan Jenkins, president of the local League, said the League has a strong written position, developed on the national level, regarding planned land use, but that local League is about to take a more studied approach to see if a change in that position is warranted on the local level.

“We’re going to be looking at the specific position because it was writ­ten in the ’70s,” Ms. Jenkins said. “We want to look at the current planning or land-use position to see if there are other things we need to add into it, and to see if there are things that need improvement.”

One area the League will study is whether the planning department needs to be urged to work more close­ly with other town boards, including the schools, she said.

According to the local League’s handbook, the national League’s posi­tion on land use states, “Strengthen­ing the capacity of local, regional and state government to manage and guide land use is not only consistent with our national land-use position, it is a key factor in implementing it”

Dennis Teves

panic, she said.“We always want the status quo,”

Ms. Tentarelli said.Master Plan

Dennis Teves, of 8 Mohawk Drive and who’s been very active in recent years watching where the town spends its money, said he would like to know what the selectmen’s policy is on manageable growth.

“Do you have amanageable policy with the town space that is available, school space, town services and infrastructure and the current tax rate?” he asked.

Mr. Teves asked that question of planners at the end of a recent Plan­ning Board meeting and was told rather abruptly by Mr. Colyer, “Yes, the Master Plan.”

But Mr. Teves said the Master Plan, which was compiled by planners and adopted by Town Meeting in 1992, is not easily accessible to everyone.

“It’s up to officials to slow growth. They’re not going to do it,” Mr. Teves said.

What commercial and industrial projects are currently being built in Andover?By Don Staruk

The following is a list of commercial and industrial development projects currently in progress in Andover. The list was compiled by the planning department last month.

• Courtyard Retail Center (the for­mer Shawsheen Manor, 351 N. Main St.) - A special permit was reissued in 1995 for development of a 15,770-square foot commercial/retail building on this site. The developer has recently been working to revise the parking areas in anticipation of development during 1996.

• Marland Place (the former Stevens Mills on Stevens Street west of the Shawsheen River) - In 1995, the Planning Board approved modifica­tions to special permits for this major historic preservation project, which will provide nearly 130 assisted-living units in the 163,000-square-foot former mill building. Construction began in late 1995.

• Marland Place East (Where Sub urban Health Care Center is located on Stevens Street, east of the river) - In 1995, special permits were issued by the Planning Board for major renova­tions and expansion of the 72,000- square-floot building housing the health-care offices. Suburban Health will expand its current 8,500 square- foot operation to a total of 22,000 square feet. In addition, 10,000 square feet of

new office space will be created. Lately the developer has suggested that addi­tional development such as a Wal­greens store might be proposed on this site.

E i s a i Merri­mack Valley Labora- t o r i e s (Federal Street) - C o n - struction is under­way for Eisai’s new 95,000- square- f o o t pharma­ceutical-manufacturing building on Federal Street. Eisai has capacity for an additional 158,000 square foot struc­ture on this lot.

• Genetics Institute (Burtt Road) - Staff began discussions in late 1995 that have continued into 1996 on expansion plans for this 1,000,000-square-foot bio- pharmaceutical research and manufac­turing campus in Lowell Junction. Genetics recently completed a 130,000- square-foot research building, and is currently laying the groundwork for

another major structural expansion by commencing parking areas and utili­ties.

• Woodland Park (Lot 3, Federal Street) - An application is currently

being pro­cessed by the planning division for a new 117,000- square- f o o t office building in this industri­al devel­opment off River Road.

•Woodland Park (Lot 6, Federal Street) - Staff met with the developer’s engi­neers in early January 1996 to discuss modifications that would create four new industrial lots at the end of Feder­al Street, and provide for a total of 249,500 square feet of commercial con­struction. It is anticipated that plans will be submitted prior to summer 1996.

• New England Business Center(Old River Road) - Staff was contacted in January 1996 regarding anticipated development of the remaining two lots

containing 17 acres and nine acres each, in this industrial subdivision.

• 32-34 Park St. (the former bowling alley) - An application was submitted in January 1996 for special permits that will provide for a new two-story 13,500-square-foot retail building and associated parking areas on this site. The existing structure that housed the bowling alley will be demolished.

• 40 Railroad St. (Tyer Rubber building) - In 1995 the Planning Board issued a special permit to provide for 45,600 square feet of office/retail space through a renovation of the existing structure, and the construction of a new building on this site. Development of this property includes the installa­tion of new traffic signals at the inter­section of Railroad Street and North Main Street. It has recently been* learned that the developer of the for­mer bowling alley has secured this site, and it is anticipated that construc­tion could commence during the sum­mer of 1996.

• 19-21 Lupine Road - An applica­tion has been filed for a special permit to renovate the 16,320-square-foot building on this site for commercial retail space. The building has been vacant for quite some time. At this time the anticipated tenants would be a hardware store and an audio/ video/photo store. The Planning Board will be reviewing the proposal in the' near future.

Tree-huggers say growth should be controlled(Continued hom page 34)

The Master Plan is mandated by the state and is required to "provide a basis for decision-making regarding the long-term physical development of the community,” according to Chapter 41 of the Mass General Laws.

“Each community shall conduct an interactive public process, to deter­mine community values, goals and to identify patterns of development that will be consistent with these goals,” the law states.

The plan also must include:• A natural and cultural resources

element that provides "an inventory of the significant natural, cultural and historic resource areas of the munici­pality, and policies and strategies for the protection and management of such areas;”

• An open space and recreation ele­ment that “provides an inventory of recreational resources and open space... and policies and strategies for the management and protection of such resources and areas”;

• A services and facilities element that “identifies and analyzes existing and forecasted needs for facilities and services used by the public.”

One question that continually comes up is whether the property taxes paid on a new single-family home offset the cost to the town of providing services to that home. Mr. French doesn’t think so. He would like to see an independent study on the comparison.

Calls from the Townsman to places such as the Department of Revenue, the state Office of Community Develop­ment and Planning, county planning boards, the Boston Municipal Research Bureau, and others turned up little information in this regard.

“We haven’t done a study on it,” said Tony Torrisi, Andover’s director of finance.

Gaylord Burke, chairman of the Merrimack Valley Planning Commis­sion, said no studies on this compari­son have been done recently, if ever, by the MVPC. One study was done a few years ago relative to the tax rate and tax classification in Boxford, he said.

The purpose of that study was to see if commercial and industrial develop­ment would raise or lower the tax rate. But the statistical analysis found that C/I development was no more likely to raise or lower the tax rate than resi­dential development.

“Which was kind of a surprising conclusion,” Mr. Burke said.

A similar study was done in Nashua, N.H., which had the highest tax rate in that state at the time, and again “the probability was, it didn’t make any difference.”

But it is pretty much accepted as fact, he said, that “the cost of education exceeds the value of a house in most cases,” Mr. Burke said.

“The bigger question is (total) taxes, but one shouldn’t let property tax con­cerns dictate what you want the com­munity to be like, what the land-use plan is. You should set your own val­ues - what do you want your communi­ty to be like - then plan accordingly,”

Mr. Burke said.Limiting new-growth revenues

Mr. Teves has submitted a warrant article for the April Town Meeting ask­ing voters to limit the amount of new- growth assessments the town can use to increase tax revenues each year. New growth revenue, that which comes from new assessments on addi­tions and newly-built houses each year, is allowed in addition to the 2S percent tax increase provided by Proposition 2K tax-limiting legislation.

“I don’t like the idea that they are using new growth as another source of tax revenue,” Mr. Teves said. “I don’t have a problem with paying the taxes, but not when developers are reaping the profits.”

Mr. Teves also questions the need for six building inspectors and three planners in Andover. Most towns have two building inspectors and one plan-, ner, he said.

“The reason, I believe, is the growth,” he said.

“All I want is for the officials in the town to come up with a policy to man­age growth, to have the kind of growth that can be sustained with the (exist­ing) school space, infrastructure, ser­vices and tax levy,” he said.

Make sure to vote Monday

Two things that could go wrong with next week’s election: You could show up Tuesday, and learn that the election was Monday; and you could vote for Timothy M. McCarron and learn later that he withdrew several weeks ago from the race.

Andover has, as long as we can remember, held its town elections on Mondays, which tends to confuse some residents since state and national elections are held on Tues­days. Polls are open here from 8 a.m. until 8 p.m.

We hope people won’t use the fact that there are only two contests on the ballot to stay away from the polls. There is one very important race on the ballot - the one for a three-year seat on the School Committee. The incumbent is Richard Muller. He is being challenged by Eric Nadworny.

The race has been controversial at •times, but it also has brought out some of the important school-related issues. If you don’t have an opinion of which man is the better one for the position, talk with your friends. There are a lot of people in Andover who care very much about this race.

Everyone votes in this election at the gym at Andover High School.

See you at the polls.

Several words about the AHS building project

The Townsman will publish a spe­cial section next week. Past, Present and Future: A Complete Report on the Andover High School Construction Project.

Our intention is to print in one sec­tion everything residents need to help make an informed decision about the added money requested on the warrant to finish the building project at Andover High School. It’s an important decision. No one wants to leave the project unfinished, but it’s an expensive proposition.

The Townsman held a forum last Saturday of officials who are involved in the building project at Andover High School. The results of the forum will be printed in a special section published with the Townsman next week. From left, are Dick Neal, superintendent of schools; Selectmen Chairman Lar­ry Larsen; Town Manager Buzz Stapczynski; and David Birnbach, School Committee member. The forum, said Townsman Editor Perry Colmore, “was like a group interview in which we tried to answer as many questions as possible about the Andover High School building project.”

Using light to chase away violenceBy Perry Colmore

If you’re struggling with some of the violence and hatred that we’ve seen in the national news lately, you’re not alone. School kids gunned down in Scotland, suicide bomb­ings in Israel, another tourist murdered in Florida. How do we deal with all of this demoni­ac news?

A perfor­mance last Sun­day at Temple Emanuel of Love Etty, The Journal of Etty Hillesum, helped some of us think about how to maintain hope.

The one-woman hour-and-a-half presentation, adapted and per­formed by Jane Smith Bernhardt, was both moving and illuminat­ing.

Etty Hillesum was a young Jew­ish woman living in Amsterdam during World War II. Her letters and diaries have only been avail­able to English speaking audi­ences for about 10 years. She wrote from Westerbork trans­portation camp. She died at Auschwitz Nov. 30, 1943.

Jane Smith Bernhardt plays the part of Etty Hille­sum.

Ms. Bern­hardt’s perfor­mance was full of Ms. Hille- sum’s horrible first-hand accounts of the Jews’ plight.“The whole world is in the process of col­lapse,” she observes.

Another time she describes her role in help­ing ready babies and calm down mothers when the for­mer are being dressed to be sent away.“Small bottles are being pre­pared.” One mother. sheexplains, is hysterical because her baby has a high fever. "They take the sick children away,” she says. “You never get them back.”

And then, “The cries of the babies grows louder, filling every corner of the barracks. I think to myself, ‘This is what hell is like.’ ”

Even though I am the only

reporter here and I feel responsi­ble for recording the performance, I lose concentration for a moment. I’m a mother. I remember that wonderful baby-powder smell at the back of my babies’ necks when I’d hold them. Take my baby away? I am unable to imagine the pain. Or at least I am unwilling.

But Ms. Hillesum keeps coming back to light, to hope and to God.

"If we just care enough, God is in safe hands with us, despite everything,” she concludes.

Once she says, while caressing a flower, “Life is still beautiful.”

“Why is there war?” she asks.Then she answers, “Because I

and my neighbor and everyone else don’t have enough love.”

A man sitting in front of me in the audience puts his arm around the back of his daughter’s chair. She snuggles into him. He pats her shoulder.

“I have this feeling that if I can bear it inside myself and write it down, perhaps I will help someone one day,” the actress says, using Ms. HiUesum’s words.

"They say 700,000 Jews perished last year,” she continues. “They say the Germans are exterminat­ing us with gas or burying us alive. And we must accept it.”

THE TOWNSMAN, MARCH 21. 1996 37LettersSeveral clergy support

Boy Scout policy on gaysin the organization

Editor, Townsman:We are writing to offer our support

to the local Council of Boy Scouts of America and to affirm the rightness of their long-held national policy of bar­ring avowed gay persons from holding positions of leadership in scouting. This policy is evidently being opened to question in a public hearing called by the Unitarian Congregation in Andover.

Meeting tonight at the library to discuss policy:

_________page 3_________In our opinion, the existing policy of

the Boy Scouts, which has been upheld in the courts, is not one that needs to be debated. It is a common sense policy aimed at providing young children and adolescents in Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts with positive adult role models who espouse traditional family values and providing parents of Scouts with confidence that their children are safe in the hands of every adult entrusted with leadership and authority.

Scouting has for the 85 years of its existence been an integral part of the life of communities helping to build values such as honesty, decency, citi­zenship, and religious conviction. Therefore, we believe is it unwise and misguided to suggest that the Boy Scouts should reverse this policy. Efforts in this direction will not bring greater harmony and understanding but will only harm the delicate fabric of trust and goodwill that exists among the institutions of Andover, such as scouting, the religious institutions, the public schools and the family, all of whom have a stake in raising healthy, well-adjusted children.

Therefore, as clergy representing various faith traditions, we stand in solid support of the Boy Scouts of America and the traditional family val­ues they espouse.

Keeping costs downEditor, Townsman:

Something is wrong in the town of Andover and it just seems to be getting worse.

If a private company were to spend $40 million on a project and it didn’t work out, wouldn’t the stockholders demand a change of some kind? I doubt very much if the called-for change would be the award of several million dollars more.

The extra fancy lights and landscap­ing at South School could well pay for music in the school system. Maybe the electric bill alone could cover the music cost which I believe should nev­er be cut from the budget.

Did anyone inform the architect that we really didn’t need the new entrance to the High School to look like the entrance to the Taj Mahal?

As a taxpayer in the town of Andover and a lifelong resident, I feel it is time we stopped, stand back and take a good long look at what is happening to this town. A private company would be looking to cut expenses but yet be a profitable company.

I don’t ever remember very much talk about “holding the line” or coming up with ways to pay for projects with­out large tax increases every year. Every year the budget increases more than inflation calls for and we are expected to just pay it.

I shall be at Town Meeting and I will vote no on any and all articles requir­ing money that I consider an unneces­sary increase in the budget, as I suspect will be many others.

I shall vote yes on any and all arti­cles that will bring some sense to the budget.

One last question: Who really pays for development?

must die in his place,” she says. “We are all marked men.”

Rabbi Robert Goldstein explained during a discussion after the perfor­mance that Ms. Hillesum’s refusal to hide to save herself is one reason that her diaries are not as widely read by Jews as Ann Frank’s diaries. “Survival is a Jewish tradi­tion,” Rabbi Goldstein explains to the audience. “We have a tremen­dous emphasis on choosing life.

Try to be more frugal but don't cut musicEditor, Townsman:

I am an avid supporter of good edu­cation for our children, but I am trou­bled by the increasing cost to the com­munity. Every citizen must balance cost against value received when vot­ing at Town Meeting. This letter is not intended to sway voters one way or another because frankly I have not yet made up my own mind how I will vote.

I am deeply troubled by the school administration’s proposal to cut the music program to balance their budget. There must be other ways to live with­in our means without cutting a vital program, and I regard the suggestion to do so to be a reflection of poor planning and/or lack of attentiveness to stu­dents’ and parents’ wishes, and sounds too much like blackmail.

Any well-run business works hard at finding innovative ways to keep costs in line and I feel our town government, including the School Committee, should do the same. This is not meant to be a criticism of past actions, and it is not intended to elicit a response telling us about all the good things that we are doing and have done in the past. Rather it is intended to provoke thought and lead to subsequent actions to find innovative ways to be more fru­gal and seek other sources of funding.

I believe we should:• Work harder to keep non-instruc-

tional staffing in-line;• Use the school-site councils to

address needs hands-on to take the load off our administration;

• Make greater use of volunteers;• Seek grant money more aggressive­

ly-I am sure there are those who will

say that we are doing all we can, or will cite reasons that some of these won’t work, but we are approaching a crisis and aggressive, innovative approaches are called for.

For the record: I am a senior citizen and a member of the Council on Aging. For the last four years I have partici­pated in a program to help the Boston school principals cope with their prob­lems; I have worked with the ad hoc school technology committee for the last six months and support their efforts to enhance the use of computers in the classroom; and I am helping a

Administration hasn't heard our music plea -Editor, Townsman:

The article appearing in the Towns­man detailing a plan by Fine Arts Director Diana Kolben to cut the instrumental music program is highly discouraging and disappointing. Our organization and others in our commu­nity have made it quite clear that such a reduction in the instrumental pro­gram offered to the children of Andover’s public schools is unwanted and unacceptable.

Yet forces within the town’s boards, have failed to heed the outcry from the affected community and have contin­ued to find ways to undermine a suc­cessful and necessary program. With a constituency as large as exists with the families of instrumental music stu­dents, it is difficult to believe that the School Committee, the superintendent, the administrative council and the fine arts director have not heard the mes­sage loud and clear. Cuts to the instru­mental music program are not accept­able. Cuts to the arts in our schools are not acceptable.

We have stated in the recent past that instead of curtailing instrumental, music, the committee should be pre­senting the superintendent’s 10.62-per- cent increase which neither eliminates instructors nor cuts the program. Instead it advocates the addition of a full-time position for instructional instrumental music.

Music 'compromise' doesn't workEditor, Townsman:

I am disturbed and saddened that a “compromise” proposal for cutting the instrumental music program has been made by the fine arts program director after so many members of our commu-

(Continued on page 38)

says, “Don’t see God as the pup­peteer. The question is whether or not we can see God’s presence. We are not looking for God to micro­manage the world.”

And so we are left with a feeling that it is love that will make the dif­ference, that love brings light into darkness, that Etty Hillesum worked to keep that love lit so life would go on.

She certainly did her part.

38 THE TOWNSMAN, MARCH 2T, 1996 LettersMusic compromise doesn't work(Continued from poge 37)

nity have clearly shown support for the successful existing program. This new proposal yields minimal financial gain and yet carries the same devastating ■impact. That it should excite the School Committee is of even more concern. Apparently, neither they nor the fine arts director comprehend that the excellence of Andover’s program is due to its completeness as well as the dedi­cation of its full staff. Arbitrarily elimi­nating any aspect of it will destroy it. There will be no quality secondary pro­gram without a solid foundation in the elementary schools.

It has been clearly and repeatedly stated that Andover’s instrumental program is an integral part of our .schools, with participation by a large number of students and a deep commit­ment by our instrumental teachers. Of the nearly 750 students (grades 3-12) who participate in the combined instrumental music programs, 419 are in the elementary schools. (That’s the equivalent of 17 classrooms.) The strings program involves 265 students, two-thirds of which are at the elemen­tary level. The band program boasts 483 students systemwide, with one teacher at the middle- and high school levels and another servicing the 244 in elementary. There are at least 27 instrumental groups systemwide (five apper level and three elementary strings, plus eight upper level and 11 elementary bands), only nine of which meet after school.

The proposed “compromise’’ still includes elimination of the backbone of the program, the in-school introducto­ry group lessons, affecting 419 elemen­tary children and eliminating the “feeder” into the upper levels. After­school lessons are an unacceptable sub­stitute.

(1) Private lessons cost $17 per half hour, $34-36 an hour. For 30 weeks of group lessons, which are currently pro­vided, this would amount to $510-$l,080 per student. Even at a possible $250 semi-private rate, introductory lessons will be unaffordable for many families.

(2) Most of the 327 students in the upper levels already take after-school lessons from 31 private teachers. Plac­ing an additional 419 elementary stu­dents in an already heavily scheduled private sector is unfeasible. If enough private teachers can be found, how many of them will teach groups of five- eight students? Who will hire them? (Ms.) Kolben’s suggestion that the two remaining teachers do so is unsound. Also, the cost of keeping the schools open for these lessons will offset the savings of cutting a teacher.

(3) After-school family commitments abound in our busy community, so that scheduling and transportation difficul­ties will prevent most of these children from participating in after-school lessons, leading us again to the reduced

numbers/reduced program scenario. It will not take long for this reduction to impact the upper levels.

(Ms.) Kolben’s proposal would cut the newest teacher who now conducts the middle- and high school bands. The entire strings program is already suc­cessfully managed by one teacher. If lessons are eliminated, will he be expected to conduct band groups to ful­fill his full-time position? A strings teacher is no more qualified to teach band instruments than a band teacher to teach strings. This leaves the remaining band teacher with the entire band program of 19 groups.

No mention has been made, either, about the marching band. This is a stipend, after-school position, currently held by the teacher whose position will be cut. How can the remaining band teacher also be expected to take on this additional, considerable responsibility, and is he even trained to do so? Or will our award-winning marching band go down the tubes as well?

The extensiveness of Andover’s instrumental program is obvious and in fact, the numbers of students partici­pating show a need for an additional teacher as recommended in the origi­nal budget. It is time for the School Committee to support its constituents (not merely listen), to affirm its com­mitment to the arts as an integral part of our children’s education, and to lay to rest the periodic threats of elimina­tion that this program has faced throughout the years whenever budget cuts surface.

To Andover: You haven't learned all your lessons wellEditor, Townsman:Dear Andover:

Happy Birthday. Wow! 350 years! Some say with age comes maturity and with maturity comes wisdom. You cer­tainly are celebrating your age. Maturi­ty? Your residents would surely like to consider you mature, “fully developed to your maximum potential," (Web­ster’s New College Dictionary). Unfortu­nately, even after three and a half cen­turies of growth and development you manage to continually squeeze out ever more buildable parcels from your once pristine countryside. Growth, a hot top­ic in your town as you enter into the second half of your fourth century.

You had a substantial dose of wis­dom in the late ’70s when you plotted all your wetlands. What a sight it was to see that little band of dedicated peo­ple with their long measuring sticks tromping over just about every acre within your boundaries. With the data collected, wetland maps were devel­oped and criteria established delineat­ing what were developable lands and buildable lots. Many in your midst were relieved and happy with the

knowledge that finally growth would be controlled.

But, alas, this year of festivities has a pang of sadness. Is it that at 350 years you are progressing into your declin­ing years clouded by what may be called senility when logic is replaced by distorted rationality and purposeful goals revert to childish egoism? Woods and thickets are cut down, green spaces are abated as golf fairways are nar­rowed, hay bales contain fens and ver­nal pools. Even outside forces are your allies as judges overrule local zoning bylaws and technology advances improve septic performance all in the name of growth.

Growth, who’s mottoes appear to be “the more the merrier” or “the bigger the better” as developers’ and contrac­tors’ pockets bulge while your town and school departments are under such stress that either their budgets or your residents’ budgets are about to burst into financial chaos.

You showed a glint of wisdom around the time of your 325th birthday when you made zoning issues a prime agenda item. Your voters endured end­less hours at a multiplicity of town meetings dealing with ever-extending requests to rezone land for “clean industry.” These requests were pre­sented to your residents as the God­send to residential tax stability as R&D/office park facilities would broad­en your tax base. Looks like your birth­day jubilation is being a bit diminished by the loud cries of those companies over tax classification and their needs for concessions on utility rates and tax­es. Yet, the existence of these facilities have required continual road upkeep and expansion, new traffic control installations and a constant need for police and fire protection.

What a shame that your lack of maturity and wisdom must overshad­ow this year of celebration. Along the road to maturity you have stumbled several times. These past couple of years have been deja vu as far as your school fiascoes go. A quarter +/- centu­ry ago your education component was in turmoil - perhaps you were in your adolescent stage. You showed your immaturity with a volatile School Com­mittee who polarized your citizens, your brashness in dismissing adminis­trators without adequate explanations, your stubbornness in your demand for additional classrooms and an auditori­um at the High School, your whimsy in creating the Bancroft School, your cre­ativity in radical new curriculum in math and reading programs and your independence in breaking with tradi­tion and forging into open, unstruc­tured class spaces.

Luckily for your residents you out­grew these capricious years discarding what wasn’t working, fixing what could be improved and rehabing exist­ing schools for functional classrooms. How unfortunate experience has not been your best teacher. Polarization has reared its ugly head once again over the issues of the past year; dis­

missal of a principal, a wrangling School Committee, runaway construc­tion costs at AHS, the make-up of cur­riculum offerings - this time technolo­gy vs. the arts vs. athletics. And, per­haps the most divisive topic of all, the High School mascot/logo. How dis­mayed that handsome Indian would be if he knew his people’s heritage was no longer going to be the guiding light for the young people of your town.

Your year-long birthday gala plans are a formable feat with a calendar full of “parties.” May your citizenry come together in harmony to enjoy the festiv­ities. In closing my birthday message to you, Andover, is: That you thrive through and beyond the 21st century as a peaceful, well educated, morally strong and culturally enriched commu­nity of people whose sharing and toler­ance of others’ heritages and beliefs are continually cultivated into a genial society. May your younger generation, their offspring and their progeny be always mindful, appreciative and preservative of your attributes; the sus­tainability and sereneness of your lands and waters which attracted your original inhabitants - the Indians; your fertile soils that nurtured your immi­grants - by the farmers; the great potential of the area for expansion of job opportunities along with develop­ment of benevolent villages - by the early mill owners; excellence in educa­tion - the founders of schools both pri­vate and public; ecumenical tolerance with open acceptance of all beliefs - by leaders of just about all faiths. May your Main Street area return to the full service mercantile center of yore to provide for your villagers’ needs from the practicality of nuts and bolts and spools of thread to the indulgent luxu­ries of gourmet cuisine and haute cou­ture; that your townsfolk hold steadfast as prudent stewards of your remaining fields and forests; that your leaders maintain a healthy financial balance and don’t let big business bite the hand that fed, indeed led, them to become a part of your makeup.

Uphold the old adage “education is only as good as the teacher” which should be an exemplary philosophy in the education of your students irre- gardless of the edifice. And, finally, let your welcoming symbols of steeples and domes, stained glass windows, arches with imprints of the Star of David or the cross of Christ with names sounding familiar or foreign encompass congregations who disdain “political correctness,” prejudices and preoccupation with personal agenda in favor of preachings promoting toler­ance and understanding, openness and acceptance, values and responsibilities.

Many happy returns, Andover! May you never lose sight of the hows, wheres or whens that have brought you to this 350th milestone. Congratu­lations!

With best wishes for an unspoiled future.

Getting ready to • clean up AndoverEditor, Townsman:

Re: Townwide cleanup (April 20- 27).

Andover’s 350th celebration is in full swing. While picking up litter and trash on the roads and in the woods may not have the same glam­our as hearing the Boston Pops play, it can, nevertheless, give an equal

feeling of pleasure and well being.,We have open land and woods in

Andover because people from the past recognized the importance of its existence. Litter and trash occur in places people go. Ignorance, oblivi­ousness, immaturity, whatever the reason, it is people who litter. Thus, it is for those of us who see, under­stand and care about our environ­ment to pass on the knowledge, not just by words, but by action. How Andover celebrates its 400th birthday

. depends on our example......................It is the Earth Day Committee’s

hope that neighborhoods, churches, scouts, downtown merchants, clubs and civic groups will organize cleanup crews. Call Peg Campbell at DCS (623-8276 ) or Carole Chanler (470-1550) for more information. Call Ollie Jones (470-0365) of SWEAT, Shawsheen River EnvironmentalAction Team.

44 THE TOWNSMAN, MARCH 21, 1996 SportsGolden Warriors' hot streak chilled by scrappy WinthropBy Rick Harrison

The 1996-'96 season came to a screeching halt for the Andover High varsity hockey team recently when Winthrop High posted a tough, physical 3-1 victory over the Gold en Warriors in their MIAA East Division 11 Tournament preliminary round game at UMass Boston.

It was a bitter pill to swallow, especially since coach Bill Cullen’s club had ended the regular season six days earlier with an 8-4 victory over the same Vikings' team.

The same Winthrop team, that is, except for a different goaltender and a new-found urgency for body contact.

The defeat left AHS, which had lost only once in its previous 10 games (5-1-4), with a 9-6-5 overall record.

Prior to the tournament setback Chris Cullen, the all-time career scoring leader in Andover High hockey history, pumped home four goals including a pure third-peri­od hat trick as the Golden Warriors com pleted the regular season with the 8-4 victo­ry over non league Winthrop at Merrimack College.

“It’s been a long, hard season," said fifth year coach Bill Cullen, whose AHS teams have qualified for the tourney five straight years. “The five ties seemed to drag things out even more.

“We were hurt tremendously by sick­ness. It started right around Christmas time and ran through the whole season. There were very few games or practices where we were 100 percent healthy.”

Coach Cullen's overall won-lost-tied record at Andover is now 58-35-12.Health report

Big 6’4” sophomore defenseman Adam Colucci missed the regu lar-season Winthrop game with severe strep throat.

Defenseman Mike Kelley, who missed vir­tually the entire season with vari­ous injuries Including frac­tured ribs and leg problems, dressed for the first time against Winthrop.Conference honors

Chris Cullen was named to the DCL MVC Divi­sion 2 All-Confer­ence Team. He was one of four forwards and eight players selected.

Cullen, Josh Prudden and defenseman Jeff Hesenius were the Golden Warriors representatives in the All-Star Game against the Cape Ann League at Merrimack College, a contest that ended in a 2-2 tie.

St. Augustine B team crowned as AndoverChurch Basketball League Senior Girls Division champsBy Rick Harrison

St. Augustine B won the Andover Church Basketball League Senior Girls’ Division championship recently, capturing a pair of single-elimination playoff games against St. Robert’s A (29-20) and St. Robert’s B (25-18).

The playoffs were needed because the three teams involved all finished the regu­lar season with identical 6-3 records.

On the final weekend of regular season play. Stephanie Pierce’s fourth^uarter bas­ket lifted St. Augustine B over St. Robert’s B, 13-12, and St. Robert’s A struggled past upset-minded St. Augustine A, 1613, to cre­ate the three-way tie for first place.Scoring race

DRIVEN VIRTUALLY TO DETRACTIONThe fear that some dental patients experience when

undergoing a procedure has more to do with anxiety about pain than the actual pam itself For instance root canal treatment has an unfair reputation among patients lor being painful The fact is that the pam associated with root canal actually stops at the dentist s office with the administration of anesthetic Still this does not stop some patients from being overly anxious What does the dentist do when patients presented with less-than-pamfut fads fail to relax’ Thanks to a Seattle-based company that manufactures virtual reality eyeglasses, the dentist can send anxious patients on a virtual nde as they sit m their chairs Once outfitted with a pair of these virtual reality glasses, patients can watch movies rather than gaze mto th eyes of their dentists and wonder anxiously what will happen next In fad. they may ask themselves what dentists will think of next

AHS stars at Indoor Track & Field eventBy Rick Harrison

The Andover High trio of junior Peter Ellis, senior captain Erik DeMarco and Craig Hartwell will go down in the record books as the first team champion in the men’s division of the inaugural Massachusetts State Indoor Track & Field Pentathlon.

The event tested participants’ skills in Five events, the 60-meter high hurdles, long jump, high jump, shot put and 1000 meter run (800 meters for women).

The Golden Warriors *A’ squad scored a com­bined 8,455 points to top a field of 12 three-man teams who competed in the inaugural Pentathlon last week at the Reggie Lewis Track Center in Rox­bury.

The Andover men’s ‘B’ team, comprised of seniors Adam Westaway. Vinnie Dolan and Mike Shaughnessy, placed third with 7,361 points.

Sandwiched in-between, a distant runner-up. was Acton-Boxboro with 7,676 points.

Ellis barely missed winning the individual State Pentathlon title as well, leading the pack until the last of the five events (1000 meter run) when Central Catholic’s Jon Faucher came from 44 points behind to edge Ellis by four points.

Faucher, who ran the 1000 slightly more than four seconds faster, scored 3,247 individual points while Ellis had 3,243.

DeMarco had the best time of all athletes in the 60-meter high hurdles (8.40) and Hartwell was sec­ond in the shot put toss (11.40 meters).

There were a total of 23 schools who sent at least one competitor in the men’s division, which featured the 12 teams and 45 athletes overall.

The Andover women did not fare as well, although they competed against a larger field that included 16 full teams and 57 total athletes.

The Lady Warriors ‘A’ team of senior captain Susan Ashlock, sophomore Barbara Contos and senior captain Missy Famiglietti placed 11th with 6,445 points.

The ‘B’ team of senior Christine Contos, junior Erin Harris and junior Stephanie Brown was 14th with 5,595 points.

THE TOWNSMAN, MARCH 21, 1996,

Moynihan heading for Cornell UniversityRyan Moynihan of Andover, a

standout hockey player the past three years for New England Prep School power Cushing Academy in Ashbumham, has been accept­ed as an early decision applicant at Cornell University in New York.

Moynihan finished his Cush­ing career recently with more than 250 points, including 47 goals and 53 assists for exactly 100 points in 35 games this winter.

The 47 goals tied his own sin­gle-season school record estab­lished last year, and he finished tied for most career goals at Cush­ing with 111.

Selected as a Division 1 All- New England All-Star, Moynihan scored two goals and assisted on a third as Cushing routed Phillips Exeter Academy 9-1 in a New Eng­land Division I Prep School Tour­nament quarterfinal round game.

Cushing then defeated Deer­field Academy, 5-1, in the tourney semifinals at the Tully Forum in Billerica to earn a berth opposite Moynihan’s hometown school Phillips Andover Academy in the title game.

Moynihan made sure he went out a champion, scoring two goals and passing out two assists as Cushing slugged PA’s Big Blue 7-1

to caphire the New England Divi­sion I title for the first time ever and complete the season with a spectacular 34-1 overall record.

All that separated Cushing from a perfect season was a 1-0 loss to Phillips Andover in a game where PA goaltender Greg Berard made 46 saves.

Ryan, son of Daniel and Car­olyn Moynihan, is a consistent honor student and a top baseball player as well at the Central Mass, school.

Moynihan played his youth hockey in Andover, beginning with skating and fundamentals at age 3 in the Andover Hockey Asso­ciation clinics. He played with Andover travel teams through the Bantam level (age 16).

His coaches in Andover includ­ed Ijouie Stella, Larry Destefano, Larry Hesenius, Steve Munroe, Dick Allard and Brendan Sheehy.

From ages 7-14 Ryan also skat­ed with the North Shore Raiders and Mass. Bay Chiefs of the Metro Boston Hockey league.

First line centerAn assistant captain for the

Penguins, Moynihan has skated on Cushing's top line the past two seasons and led the team in goal scoring.

As a junior in 1994-’95 the smooth-skating 5’11”, 175-pound center-iceman established a school record for goals in a single season with 47, a total which was also tops in New England Division I.

He and his linemates, includ­ing Jayson Philbin of North Andover, have been the most pro­ductive line in Cushing’s 72-year hockey history (dating back to 1924).

Moynihan collected both his 100th career goal and 200th career point during the current season.

In 1994, Moynihan played on the Tier 1 Midget Select National Championship Team in Washing­ton, DC.

As a sophomore at Cushing he was named the team’s Most Improved Player, and last year he was selected Offensive MVP.

He is also a two-time Hockey Night in Boston All-Scholastic, as a junior and senior, and in that tournament was named the Merri­mack Valley Prep-Private Offen­sive MVP.

Ryan was also selected to play in the Pro-Am All-American Tour­nament at Boston University, and was named a Hockey Night in Boston All-Star at the conclusion of last summer's Showcase of the

Ryan Moynihan

Stars at Merrimack College.

Pure sniper“Ryan is a legitimate pure

sniper.” says Cushing head varsi­ty ice hockey coach Steve Jacobs. “He is also one of the most solid defensive players I’ve coached in 19 years. Along with his offensive

49) >

skills Ryan Is also our top penalty- killer. He’s a tenacious two-way player and outstanding team lead­er.”

A product of Andover’s Littl& League and Senior League base­ball systems, in which he played from ages 8-15, Moynihan is look­ing forward to his upcoming spring season on the Cushing dia­mond.

A three-year starter in base­ball, he was chosen Cushing’s Most Improved Player as a sopho­more and the team’s Defensive MVP last spring.

As a 12-year-old in 1988, MoynS- han played for the Andover National All-Star team that won District, State and Eastern Region­al titles on the way to the Little League World Series in Williamsport, Pa. where A-N placed sixth.

While at Cushing, Moynihan has served as a dorm proctor and a tour guide to prospective stu­dents and their families.

All-around leader“When Ryan came to Cushing

we asked him to excel in thr<> areas, academics, athletics and social activities,” said Bill Troy, an assistant coach in both hockey and baseball who is also Ryan’s academic advisor and teacher.

“Academically, Ryan has bene­fited from the small class size and

has excelled in an environment where he felt comfortable.

“Athletically, Ryan has made the commitment to become the finest two-way hockey player that he can be. On the baseball field Ryan has become one of the most consistent players, both offensively and defensively, in New England."

Last season Moynihan hit for average and also had three home runs.

"Socially, Ryan is the type of individual you want your own son to be like,” said Troy. “Not only is he well-liked by both fac­ulty and fellow students, he is

also well respected. Throughout the successes Ryan has had at Cushing he has remained quiet­ly efficient.

"Ryan’s acceptance to Cornell will benefit Ryan and it will also benefit the university. A high quality, first-class college is get­ting a high quality, first-class individual."

Cornell, located in Ithaca, N.Y., on the Cayuga River, is an Ivy league school and member of ECAC Division I.

The Big Red is attempting, under first-year coach Mike Schafer, to return to the kind of national collegiate hockey prominence it enjoyed in the

Andover Hockey Association's Initiation Program wrapped up its season recently. More than 75 par­ents laced up their skates to partici­pate in a parent vs. player game at Phillips Academy. According to the flayers who range in age from 4 to 7,

the game was a clear rout, with the young players winning by an over­whelming margin.

More than 400 players and family gathered at Lucent Technologies at the Merrimack Valley Works (for­merly AT&T) after the game for a banquet to recognize the young play­

ers’ achievements. The banquet and coaching awards were donated by Lucent Technologies, the sponsor of the initiation program.

After all program participants received their awards, coach Larry Limagna thanked CEO Jack McKin­non for Lucent Technologies’ hospi­tality and said he looked forward to seeing everyone next season.

The initiation program is the introductory level of Andover Hock­ey Association and is open to Andover residents between the ages of 5 and 8.

The present Cornell roster has a distinct Canadian flavor, with only four Americans included, and the rebuilding has begun successfully with Cornell winning the Ivy League title this winter.

Cushing Academy, a small private boarding school, is about one hour due west of Andover. It has 375 boarders from 33 states and 31 foreign countries.

struggle with a power play goal early in the session.

Dave Collins netted what proved to be the game-winner just 94 seconds into the final stanza, and Jason Calla provided the insurance with an unassisted, empty-net tally on a long slapshot from his own blue line just 32 seconds from the final horn.

Josh Prudden set up Hesenius’ goal with an excellent rush, and Albert Kwon also notched an assist.

Rival goaltenders John Hogan of Andover and “secret weapon” Jeff Perrotti of Winthrop (12-8-1) both played outstanding games in net

Hogan stopped a pair of breakaways and several other point- blank Winthrop bids, while Perrotti weath­ered a furious AHS third period onslaught to preserve the Vikings’ slim lead.

It was only the fifth time in 20 games Andover was held below three goals.

The game marked the end of high school careers for seniors Chris Cullen, Jeff Hese­nius, Marc Roy and goaltender Ryan Lynch.

But with 17 under­classmen on the roster, including 14 who skat­ed regularly, the Gold­en Warriors figure to be back as a strong league and tournament contender again next winter.

Regular Season Andover 8 Winthrop 4

The eight goals were the third most for the Golden Warriors in a game this winter, sur­passed only by 14 ver­sus Loyola High of Montreal and 13 in the season-opener against Lowell.

This was Andover’s first game in seven days and the locals were rusty at the start, falling behind 2-0 early.

“We came out slug gish," said coach Cullen. “It took us almost two periods to get rolling."

Trailing 3-2 with one minute left in the mid­dle period, the Golden Warriors came alive on two goals 42 seconds apart by Josh Prudden at 14:06 and 14:48 to give AHS a 4-3 lead after 30 minutes.

Cullen, who scored the first Andover goal at 13:35 of the opening period, produced his pure hat trick and boosted the lead to 7-3 with three rapid-fire third-period goals just two minutes. 45 seconds apart.

The hat trick was Cullen's team-high third of the season.

Rob Busby wrapped up the offense, follow ing Winthrop’s final goal, at 10:58 of the third stanza.

Albert Kwon netted the other Andover goal, the lone power play connection, at 1:06 of the second session to tie it 2-2 at the time

Jeff Hesenius and Prudden passed out three assists each, rear guard Ryan Boillard and Albert Kwon dis­tributed two set-ups apiece, and single assists went to Scott Petersen, Busby and Cullen.

AHS outshot the Vikings 14-9. 14-11 and 14-7 by period for an overall 42-27 advantage

John Hogan played 42 minutes and stopped 21 of the 25 shots he faced, and senior Ryan Lynch worked the final three minutes in the

Golden Warriors’ cage and made two saves.

“It was the final reg­ular season game for our four seniors (Cullen, Hesenius, Marc Roy and goalie Lynch), and it was good to see all four play well," said coach Cullen.

“Josh Hoerner also did an excellent job killing penalties.”

The Golden War­riors were hit with 11 minors in the game but did not surrender a power play goal to Winthrop.
