This was the custom when neither the Governor nor petitioners had suggested a name for the new town. SPECIAL THANKS – 2016 ANNUAL TOWN REPORT All photos in the report are courtesy of the Harvard Press. Cover picture (Willard Lane on Stow Road) – Lisa Aciukewicz. The 2016 Town Report has been compiled, formatted and edited by Julie Doucet, Executive Assistant to the Town Administrator and Board of Selectmen. 2016 Annual Reports of the Town Officers of the Town of Harvard For the year ending December 31, 2016 2016 Citizen of Note Constance (Connie) Larrabee It seems Connie has been a part of the fabric of this town and has had her finger on its pulse since she arrived in 1972. The variety of jobs (both paid and volunteer) she has held since her arrival tells a story of Harvard itself, as well as Connie’s incredible interest in being part of it. For instance, her early years here were spent volunteering at the Elementary School and also working at the Westward Orchards packing plant. Educating kids and apples: Harvard’s main industries. She soon became – and for many years was - the night dispatcher, working the 11 PM to 7 AM shift. It is rumored she took her sleeping bag to the police station – nights in Harvard can be slow. Being a dispatcher, perhaps, gave her an edge in her next, multi- decades job: the local press. It began with delivering The Harvard Post in the late 1970’s. In 1982 she became a reporter and in the following years covered Finance Committee and Conservation Commission, served as feature editor, associate editor, news editor and contributing editor. Today she keeps her hand in the goings-on by serving as a copy editor for The Harvard Press. Driving the MART van from 2003-2007 introduced Connie to the needs of our senior population. She was soon appointed to the Council on Aging in 2008 and during her tenure has served as Co-Chair and Secretary. When she reached her term limit in 2014, rather than stepping away (as most would do) she continued volunteering as the COA’s recording secretary. In 2016, when an alternate member of the COA was created, she was quickly appointed to that position. But her greatest accomplishment – and the one that we can never, ever fully thank her for – is her quiet persistence and advocacy for the Renovation and Expansion of the Hildreth House. Connie was appointed as the COA representative to the Hildreth House Improvement Committee when it was formed in 2012. However, when initial estimates for the work were higher than originally expected, Connie was able to accept, understand and advocate to her fellow Committee and COA members that the project would only advance through our local political process if split into two phases. The first phase, just recently completed, addressed the parking safety and full accessibility challenges of the site and building. Through multiple iterations and changes in plans and costs, Connie has kept her “eyes on the prize” kept the project moving forward. She patiently attended multiple Capital Planning and CPC meetings, pursuing all available funding options to see the project completed. She patiently revised applications, paying attention to filing deadlines and providing complete answers to endless questions. When setbacks occurred, she found a way to work with the outcomes. And all this with a smile or a slight sigh when frustration might have led others to quit. Connie thinks she is finished now with the Hildreth House, but we all know Phase 2, the addition, remains to be done. And, frankly, we cannot quite imagine how that will happen without Connie’s steady hand at the helm. For these reasons, and more, the Board of Selectmen are very proud – and grateful – to name Connie Larrabee the 2016 Citizen of Note!

  • The Charismatic Leadership and Cultural Legacy of Stan Lee
    REINVENTING THE AMERICAN SUPERHERO: THE CHARISMATIC LEADERSHIP AND CULTURAL LEGACY OF STAN LEE Hazel Homer-Wambeam Junior Individual Documentary Process Paper: 499 Words !1 “A different house of worship A different color skin A piece of land that’s coveted And the drums of war begin.” -Stan Lee, 1970 THESIS As the comic book industry was collapsing during the 1950s and 60s, Stan Lee utilized his charismatic leadership style to reinvent and revive the superhero phenomenon. By leading the industry into the “Marvel Age,” Lee has left a multilayered legacy. Examples of this include raising awareness of social issues, shaping contemporary pop-culture, teaching literacy, giving people hope and self-confidence in the face of adversity, and leaving behind a multibillion dollar industry that employs thousands of people. TOPIC I was inspired to learn about Stan Lee after watching my first Marvel movie last spring. I was never interested in superheroes before this project, but now I have become an expert on the history of Marvel and have a new found love for the genre. Stan Lee’s entire personal collection is archived at the University of Wyoming American Heritage Center in my hometown. It contains 196 boxes of interviews, correspondence, original manuscripts, photos and comics from the 1920s to today. This was an amazing opportunity to obtain primary resources. !2 RESEARCH My most important primary resource was the phone interview I conducted with Stan Lee himself, now 92 years old. It was a rare opportunity that few people have had, and quite an honor! I use clips of Lee’s answers in my documentary.

Dear Members of the Planning Commission, The 2018 World Cup said it all. What a great event! Nashville could also potentially share in the sport the binds the world together. I support the proposed Major League Soccer Stadium and renovation to the Fairgrounds Nashville. Professional sports teams in Nashville have turned into major brands that are recognized across their various leagues. The Predators not only hosted the NHL All Star weekend not long ago but are widely hailed as having the best home ice advantage in hockey. The Titans, on the heels of their incredible new uniform update ceremony, were selected to host next year's NFL draft at Ascend Amphitheater. Professional sports always have, and always will greatly benefit not only the neighborhoods where they play, but the city as a whole. I would ask that you seize this opportunity to make history with us and vote to approve this soccer stadium as well as the accompanying fairgrounds renovations. I recently went on a trip to Belize, and in the small village of Hopkins, Belize, I and my wife had the privilege of experiencing the World Cup final between Croatia and France with many people throughout the world in this village.

  • Copyright (C) 2005 Fruitlands Museum, Harvard, Massachusetts Permission to Publish from This Material Should Be Discussed with the Museum Curator
    Guide to the Transcendentalist Manuscript Collection, Fruitlands Museum, Harvard, Massachusetts www.fruitlands.org REGISTER MS T.1 S. Margaret Fuller Ossoli (1810-1850) Papers, ca 1836-1850 Size: 2 Linear inches Acquisition: Materials were purchased from The Goodspeed Book Shop by Clara Endicott Sears BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH S. Margaret Fuller Ossoli (May 23, 1810-July 19, 1850) was a well known author, lecturer, and Transcendentalist in the Nineteenth Century. She is often called a "bluestocking", because of her feminist beliefs and unconventional life. She was born Sarah Margaret Fuller, the first of nine children of Timothy and Margaret Fuller of Cambridgeport, Massachusetts. Her father was determined to give her a masculine education according to the classical curriculum of the day. The exacting and regimental education began at a very young age and was to take a great toll on her health. But it also gave her abroad knowledge of literature and languages. Following the completion of her formal studies, Margaret gained entrance into the intellectual circles of Cambridge and Harvard. Here she formed lasting friendships with many New England intellectuals. In 1836, Margaret Fuller was hired to teach languages at Bronson Alcott's Temple School. She stayed only a year, but continued her teaching career in Providence Rhode Island at the Greene Street School. In 1839, she returned to Massachusetts and began conducting "Conversations" for society women and others in Boston. At this time, Margaret Fuller also became an integral part of the Transcendentalist Movement. From 1840 to 1842 she edited and contributed to the Transcendentalist journal, The Dial. In 1845, she published her feminist work, Woman in the Nineteenth Century.

  • Boston Ballet: Next Generation, 2016
    HOME (HTTP://CRITICALDANCE.ORG/) / BALLET (USA & CANADA) (HTTP://CRITICALDANCE.ORG/CATEGORY/BALLET-USA-CANADA/) Boston Ballet: Next Generation, 2016 ! June 4, 2016 Boston Opera House Boston, MA May 18, 2016 Carla DeFord In its annual “Next Generation” program, Boston Ballet (BB) features students, trainees, and pre-professional dancers with music accompaniment performed by the New England Conservatory (NEC) Youth Orchestra. Having attended this event since 2014, I have to say that the star of this year’s show was Geneviève Leclair, assistant conductor of the Boston Ballet Orchestra, who guest conducted the NEC ensemble. There were also several memorable dancers, but the award for sustained achievement in music performance, including Act III of Tchaikovsky’s The Sleeping Beauty and excerpts from Ambroise Thomas’s Hamlet, goes to Leclair, who conducted the orchestra with such verve and precision that its members sounded not like the students they are, but like seasoned professionals. In addition to being essential to the audience’s enjoyment of the program, the music was an absolute gift to the dancers because it gave them the structure and direction they needed. Leclair’s confident dynamics and tempos, crisp rhythms, and crystalline phrasing created powerful forward momentum. Moreover, each style in the Tchaikovsky score was vividly realized – from the meowing of Puss in Boots and the White Cat, to the chirping of the Bluebird, to the stirring rhythms of the polonaise and mazurka. How wonderful for the dancers to be supported by music of such high caliber. Act III of The Sleeping Beauty (with choreography by Marius Petipa, Peter Martins after Petipa, and Alla Nikitina, a Boston Ballet School faculty member) also introduced us to the second star of the evening: Lex Ishimoto as the Bluebird.
