Leon personifi es the selfl ess commitment to community service and volunteerism that continues to set the highest standards for all residents of our Town. Thanks to Leon sharing his talents without reservation, our town will continue to reap the benefi ts of Leon’s service for decades to come. Leon joined the Board of Selectmen in the Town of Bow in 2001 and served until 2009. During that time he served as Chairman for three years. He also served as Bow’s representative to the N.H. House of Representatives for two years. In each position Leon gave freely of his wealth of knowledge and experience drawn from his long professional career. Leon was born in Littleton, New Hampshire and raised in Jefferson. He attended the 5 University of New Hampshire where he graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Civil Engineering and a Masters Degree in Business Administration. He joined the Department of Transportation in 1964, retiring after serving 37 years as Com- missioner. While at the NHDOT, he managed over 2,000 employees and oversaw a budget of $500 million, and directed the planning, development and maintenance of stat transportation infrastructure. Upon his “retirement” from the NHDOT, Leon joined a private consulting fi rm evaluating public works facilities. Additionally, he served as Interim City Manager of Lebanon and interim Lebanon Airport Manager. Still “retired”, Leon went on to serve as Director at the Pease Development Authority in Portsmouth, Town Administrator for the Town of Pittsfi eld and Hopkinton, and additionally, he became Public Works Director for the City of Nashua, transitioning to Broad Street Parkway Coordinator. Leon lived in Concord for 26 years where he served on numerous boards and commissions. During his lengthy career he served as President of both the NH Safety and Health Council and The American Society of Civil Engineers, and was a Trustee of the Capital Regional Food Program. He served as a member of the NH Municipal Association and on the Executive Board of the Local Government Center. This lengthy career is worth noting because Leon drew on all of these experiences to provide exceptional insight and guidance to town offi cials on the widest pos- sible range of issues. There is no other person in Bow who had as wide a range of expertise, and who gave so freely of his time and talent. Many residents are well aware that in his “spare time” Leon serves as a certifi ed offi cial of baseball and basketball, a pastime he has enjoyed for 30 years. He has enjoyed his membership in the Rotary Club for over 25 years in both Concord and Bow. On behalf of the Town of Bow, the Selectmen sincerely thank Leon Kenison for his immense contribution to our Town. We salute a truly dedicated public servant and we are pleased to dedicate this 2011 Town of Bow Annual Report to Leon. 6 2011 CITIZEN OF THE YEAR LENNY VIRGIN In March, the Bow Men’s Club selected and honored Bow Citizen of the Year, Lenny Virgin. Lenny retired from the Bow Highway Department as a heavy equipment operator in October 2011 after 44 years of service. While the Town honored him for his many years of exemplary service, the Bow Men’s Club honored him for his quiet help to folks less fortunate and his devotion to family and friends. 7 2011 BOSTON POST CANE RECIPIENT EVELYN LONGLEY GALLANT Upon this presentation of the Boston Post Cane, Evelyn Longley Gallant has been recognized as the oldest citizen of the Town of Bow. The tradition of the Boston Post Cane began in 1909 when the publisher of the Boston Post newspaper pre- sented gold-headed ebony canes to the Boards of Selectmen of 700 towns in New England for presentation to their oldest citizens. Although many canes have been lost through the years, the Town of Bow is proud to continue to present the Boston Post Cane to the oldest citizen of the Town as a fi tting tribute to the many valuable contributions such citizens have made to the community.

    StebbingStebbing SceneScene Your Village — Your Magazine Edition No: 120 Winter 2011 Remembrance Sunday Owen Barnard, World War 11 veteran & his grandson, Stewart Barnard a Royal Navy Able Seaman, who will shortly leave to serve in Bahrain The few months since the Autumn edition have flown by, and Stebbing has been suitably busy, as you will see from reports of the many events and activities undertaken by our large number of clubs and organisations. Residents are certainly spoiled for choice if they wish to participate in village life. I have made a few changes to the layout of the mag—mostly regarding size of text which I know has been an issue for some. If I have got it wrong—no doubt you will let me know! I’ve added a crossword with a Stebbing flavour , and although largely cryptic, I’ve tried to include a few easy ones to get people started. It would be good to get some different setters if anyone wants a go. Read, enjoy and have a very, very good Christmas. Richard Foot Editor 1 British Legion Poppy Appeal 2011 On Sunday 13th November 2011, thousands of people throughout the country at- tended parades, services and wreath laying ceremonies to remember those who have lost their lives serving their country. It used to be just people affected by two World Wars but as our troops continue to serve in countries like Afghanistan and Iraq, awareness has grown and the numbers swell. In Stebbing, Remembrance Sunday is also recognised by the Grange Farm and Dunmow Runners annual Stebbing 10 mile road race.

The inaugural award was created especially for the band, who was the UK host of the award show in 2007. It recognises the band’s outstanding 10 years in the music industry entertaining a generation of kids. “Back in 2007 we were the UK hosts of Nickelodeon's Kids' Choice Awards handing out the blimps rather than receiving them," said McFly’s Tom Fletcher. "McFly's ten years have been insanely awesome and having the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles award us Favourite Band of the Decade has to be one of the highlights. Cowabunga dudes!” It was announced this week that Top 10 iTunes selling artist Aloe Blacc and new band American Authors will take the stage and perform at the epic award show, taking place at the Galen Centre in Los Angeles.

Voters making selections in their own branch categories list only film titles on their ballots, not the individuals responsible for the various achievements. For that reason, as well as for reasons of printing time and convenience of using this pamphlet, full credit rosters are not provided for the listed films. An exception to the above exists in the four Acting categories, where simply listing titles would not provide enough voting information. Actors Branch members filling out their Nominations ballots must indicate both titles and the particular performers they are voting for. For that reason, the Reminder List provides a listing of up to fifty cast members for each film. Pictures eligible in the Animated Feature Film, Documentary Feature and Foreign Language Film categories are also eligible in the Best Picture category, provided they meet the qualifications for the category.
