Flanagan Town Manager TO: The Honorable Board of Selectmen and the Citizens of the Town of Andover Over the past eighteen months it has been my privilege to be introduced to the community including meeting residents, business owners and our regional partners. Andover defines the concept of “sense of community.” The quality of the Town and the success of the municipal organization is clearly reflected by the level of citizen engagement and participation and the common goal of moving Andover forward. I am pleased to report that 2016 was a year of extraordinary progress for the Town of Andover that included investment in our infrastructure, improvements to our financial and budgeting processes, historical economic development and steps to continue to promote an organizational culture of excellence, professionalism and efficiency. In January 2016, I declared that 2016 would be the year of the downtown. Building off the progress of the establishment of the Historic Mill District, the Town was provided with the opportunity to truly move forward with establishing mechanisms that will make our downtown a destination. Moving forward with a Town Yard project has continued to be a priority of the Town and the Board of Selectmen for the past decade. The 2016 Annual Town Meeting voted to take the following steps towards realizing the construction of a new Municipal Services Facility and creating an historic economic development opportunity for the downtown: 1. Appropriated $2,250,000 from Free Cash to purchase 5 Campanelli Drive. 2. Supported sending a Home Rule Petition to the Legislature that will establish a Municipal Services Facility Mitigation Fund for the purposes of using specific revenues from the future reuse of the site of the current Town Yard (11 Lewis Street) to mitigate the financial impact of constructing a new facility at 5 Campanelli Drive. The Home Rule Petition has been approved by the legislature. 3. Appropriated $900,000 from General Fund Taxation (Capital Projects Fund) to fund the design and engineering phase of the Municipal Services Facility Project which has been completed. The plan presented to Town Meeting included that the capital capacity ($900,000) associated with funding the design phase in FY2017 would be shifted from General Taxation to Non-Exempt Debt Service in FY2018. This will offset the costs associated with the construction phase of the project and allow the overall project to be funded within the levy and limitations of Proposition 2 ½ and will not require a debt exclusion vote. I am pleased to report that the project is on track and consistent with the commitments made to Town Meeting in 2016. 5 Furthermore, the Town successfully supported the efforts to remove both the Balmoral and Stevens Street Dams. The removal of these dams will present the Town with an historic opportunity to reintroduce the river to Downtown Andover and provide residents with access for recreational activities. In addition, these two important projects will have a significant environmental impact and improve the quality of the watershed. Andover was selected as one of four municipalities internationally to participate in a peer consultancy project with the International City/County Management Association (ICMA) to launch the “Imagine Andover” project. The Town was able to leverage expertise and best practices from around the country and facilitated a community dialogue about the future of Downtown Andover. The product of this effort was the development of a road map and “playbook” of best practices to further enhance the vibrancy of Downtown Andover. In July of 2016, I moved forward with reorganizing the Town’s service divisions (Recreation, Youth Services, Elder Services and Veterans Services) as a single Department of Community Services. The goal and objective of the reorganization was to streamline operations, establish efficiencies and expand service delivery by functioning as one department. I am grateful to the leadership of the new Director of Community Services, Joseph Connelly, who has been instrumental in the successful implementation of the reorganization. Mr. Connelly came to Andover and joined the Senior Management Team with 22 years of experience as a department head and having served four municipalities. For the first time in the history of our Town, Andover was awarded the Distinguished Budget Presentation Award from the Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA). The award is reflective of “the commitment of the governing body and staff to meeting the highest principles of governmental budgeting.” The award is consistent with the objectives and principles of my Administration to establish both transparency and accountability within our budgeting systems and reporting. In 2016 we welcomed John Mangiaratti as Andover’s new Deputy Town Manager. Mr. Mangiaratti came to Andover having served as the Assistant Town Manager in Westford for the past 11 years. John’s guidance, leadership and contributions to the strategic goals of the Board of Selectmen over the past year has contributed extensively to the collective successes of the organization. I would like to thank the Board of Selectmen for its leadership and policy direction during the past year. I want to recognize the Town’s Department and Division Heads for their professionalism and commitment to our organization. Their input and institutional knowledge of their departments and the organization has proved to be invaluable. I also want to recognize Executive Assistant Wendy Adams for all of her assistance and support in facilitating the work that goes into developing the Town Report. In closing, I want to thank the residents for their input, collaboration and passion for Andover. I look forward to working with you over the next year as we move forward with what will be an exciting period for our Town. Respectfully yours, Andrew P. Flanagan Town Manager 6 TOWN OF ANDOVER MISSION & VALUES STATEMENT Developed by the Board of Selectmen, Town Manager and Town Department Heads Adopted by the Board of Selectmen on October 6, 2003 The mission of the Town of Andover is to ensure the safety, education and well-being of the community; to be a leader in the delivery of efficient and effective quality services that respond to community needs;

  • My Country, 'Tis of Thee Introduction
    1 My Country, ’Tis of Thee Introduction Samuel Francis Smith was a twenty-four-year-old Baptist seminary student in Massachusetts when he wrote the lyrics of “America (My Country, ’Tis of Thee),” the patriotic song that would serve as an unofficial national anthem for nearly one-hundred years. In 1831, while studying at Andover Theological Seminary, Smith was asked by composer Lowell Mason to translate some German song books. Inspired by one of the German songs— “God Bless Our Native Land” (set to the tune of “God Save the King”)—Smith set out to write an original patriotic song for America set to the same melody. The result was what Smith called “America” and what would eventually be better known as “My Country, ’Tis of Thee.” The song was first performed on July 4, 1831, by a children’s choir in Boston. Smith’s lyrics invoked the history of America—“Land where my fathers died, / Land of the Pilgrims’ Pride, / From every mountain side / Let freedom ring”—as well as its beauty and sense of itself as a blessed land—“I love thy rocks and rills, / Thy woods and templed hills, / My heart with rapture thrills, / Like that above.” “America” soon took on a life of its own, quickly becoming widely known and well loved, and the song served as an unofficial national anthem until the adoption of “The Star-Spangled Banner” in 1931. In 1864, in the midst of the Civil War, Smith sent a copy of the song to former US Representative J. Wiley Edmands of Massachusetts.

Someone on the floor recognized him and pointed him out to others. whereupon the clamour quickly subsided as traders ceased their dealing to pay tribute to the old man. Presently out of the wheat pit came the sound of familiar words: My country, 'tis of thee, My native country. thee, Sweet land of liberty. Land of the noble free, Of thee I sing; Thy name I love; Land where my fathers died, I love thy rocks and rills. Land of the pilgrims' pride, Thy woods and templed hills; From every mountainside My heart with rapture thrills Let freedom ring. Like that above. Then the men gave their visitor a tumultuous cheer. The Secretary of the Board escorted him to the floor, where all the members flocked' around him, reaching out eagerly to shake the hand of the 79-year-old· author of 'America'. Then, removing their hats, they sang the rest. of, the hymn.

    “Pen and Ink Communion”: Evangelical Reading and Writing in Antebellum America mary kelley RITING to his mother and sister on 31 January 1834, W minister and moral reformer Samuel Francis Smith highlighted the crucial role that evangelically oriented read- ing and writing played in the lives of his family. “You will re- ceive,” he told Sarah Smith and Susan Eleanor Smith Parker, “a Waterville Journal Feb. 1, & another by Sat. following, each contains 2 of my articles—also, perhaps, a Zion’s Advocate pretty soon, with another. The Watchman soon has one from me, & Temperance Journals.” In addition to contributing to various newspapers and magazines, Smith, who had taken a Baptist pulpit in Waterville, Maine, and had begun teaching at the local college, was circulating among his parishioners other popular forms of print, including the tracts his family was sending him from Boston.

To Michael Tilghman Stevens, for his support and unwavering commitment. 4 Introduction It is the dawn of the Fourth of July in a small town in Ohio. Although nearly everyone has the day off, people are up early--there is a parade coming. Outside the flag-bedecked homes and the manicured lawns, the driveways are lined with the cars of the many guests who have returned to town for this special day. In front of the houses, horses have arrived in their trailers from outside the city, snorting, impatiently waiting as their owners groom them and decorate their manes with ribbons of red, white, and blue. Cell phone ringtones and the whistles of stray bottle rockets mingle with equine whinnies in an unlikely cacophony, as the aroma of coffee coming through the front screen doors mixes with the smells from the barnyard.
