By Ben HeilmanA School Committee seat

w ill be open in March as Chair­woman Tina Girdwood has announced that she will not seek reelection in 2004.

Selectmen Chairman John Hess and School Committee member Dick Collins have announced their intentions to seek reelec­tion. Select­man Ray Hender is undecided and will announce his inten­tions in early 20G4.

Gird- wood said her main reason forstaying on the committee in 2001 was to see the completion of construction of the then unnamed High Plain Elemen­tary and Wood Hill Middle schools. With the schools open. Girdwood said she felt com­fortable leaving. "1 think nine years is enough." she said Mon­day.

Girdwood said she would miss sitting on the board, on which she has acted as chair­woman on and off since her first election in March 1995. “I'm goingto miss it.

and member Hender are also up for reelection in March 2004.

Hess said supporters have asked him to run and he has already picked up his papers to do so. "I enjoy it. I enjoy talk­ing to people about the issues in town," said Hess. Hess said his seven years experience on the board was a strength. He was first elected in March 1997.

Hender said he needed to discuss his plans with family and committee members before making an announcement "1 had promised my self I'd make up my mind at the beginning of the new year." said Hender. “I

BALLARDVALE HISTORIC DISTRICT COMMISSION

By Andrea GregoryThe Ballardxale Historic

District Commission will ring in the new year by finding a home for a large, histone bell

The large cast-iron bell orig­inally rang at the Ballardvale United Church. The congrega­tion moved to a new location in the 1950s. and a fire destroyed its former building in the late 1960s. according to Veronica Croke-Golden.

A few years after the fire. Leslie Trombly - Croke-Gold- en's father - purchased the land to build a house for his family, simultaneously inheriting the old church bell. For more than 20 years the bell has remained on the property and in the fami­ly’s possession.

"We have the bell. 1 know it's very old. oxer 100 years old." said Croke-Golden "It s a big, heavy bell. It looks like the Lib­erty Bell."

She said the hell is still intact, and she thinks if it could he lifted, it w ould still ring.

But the bell has not rung in years, as this piece of Ballatd- vale history has remained sta­tionary on het parents property That was never the intent, though. Croke-Golden said

For as long as she can remember her father had w ant­ed to give the bell back to the tow n, and hav e it remain in Bal- lardxale. She said he had men­tioned putting it on the Ballard- v ale Green. "It w as one of those things he never did get done." Croke-Golden said

Her father died in 1991. five years before the Ballardvale Historic District Commission formed in 1996

Diane Derby. Ballardxale Historic District Commission x ice chairw oman, said the com­mission plans to take the bell off Croke-Golden s hands, and help put it on the Ballardx ale Green in the coming y ear "As far as 1 know, the bell is the only thing that remains," said Derby "It looks like it s in pretty good shape"

“(My father) would be delighted." Croke-Golden said "My dad always wanted to donate that. That would be great It would be very nice to have it out there.

"Ballardx ale is such an old section of Andover I'm sure there are a lot of people w ho still live in town who remember that bell ringing."

As state classifies, town police keep track of sex offendersPolice offer information on some who live, work in town

By Andrea GregoryOn the bulletin board in the

police station lobby is a recent picture of a 33-year-old man with a slight smile. The top of the page reads “level 3 sex offender community notifica­tion." Level 3 sex offenders are those who pose the highest risk of recommitting sexually based crimes, according to the state.

When Andover police were notified recently of this resi­dent's classification, they, in turn, notified 34 different agen­cies, such as the schools in town. As the state continues classifying sex offenders during the next six months, Andover police could receive additional information they want to share with the public.

The level 3 offender police recently informed others about has been convicted of two offenses. - assault with intent to commit rape in 1988. and open and gross lewdness and lascivi­ous behavior in 2001. Neither incident took place in Andover but since this sexual offender now lives in Andover, and has for more than six years, the offender had to register with Andover police.

Level 3 is the highest level a sex offender can receive. According to the Massachusetts Sex Offender Registry Board Web site a level 3 classification is given when "the board deter­mines that the risk of reoffense is high and the degree of danger­ousness posed to the public is such that a substantial public safety interest is served by active dissemination."

Once a year, sex offenders register with the local police. Every three years, they are up for reclassification.

According to Lt. Arthur Ricci. Andover has two level 3 sex offenders in town, and one is challenging his classification. Until the matter is settled by the courts, police are not allowed to release his information. Ricci said there are no level 2 sex offenders - those who the state

believes pose a moderate threat to recommit - living in town, but there are seven that work in town. There are five level 1 sex offenders in town, with two liv­ing here, and three working here, he said.

But these numbers might not include every sex offender in Andover.

“Is that all of the sex offend­ers? Probably not," said Ricci.

According to police the num­ber could be higher, given the state is still working to classify all sex offenders. In addition, not all sex offenders register with police to start with, even though by law they are required to register, said Ricci. Of those who are registered, some still have not been classified.

According to Charles McDonald, director of commu­nication and legislation with the state's sex offender registry board. Massachusetts was the last state to approve a sex offender registry law in 1996. He said the law was challenged numerous times, and then shut down by the Superior Court for a period of time. On June 28, 2001, the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court over­turned the Superior Court deci­sion and reinstated the law, but with new guidelines.

“With the old law, what the courts have said is you cannot classify a person solely on the crime they've committed," said McDonald.

Since the revamped registry law became active in 2001. the state has been working to classi­fy sex offenders on their "danger level as of now," said McDon­ald. He said he hopes within six months the state will be caught up with classifying sex offend­ers who have already served their time.

“It's a backlog that’s been created by the rulings of the courts," he said.

While the crime of a sex offender is taken into considera­tion. it cannot be the sole reason for classifying someone at a cer-

tain level, said McDonald. He said, how long ago the crime was committed, if the person has a job, what kind of treatment program the person is in and if the person has other issues, such as drug or alcohol problems, all play into a sex offender’s current threat status. Sex offenders have the right to appeal a classifica­tion and petition every three years to have their classification lowered.

Only level 3 offenders are publicized. Police will release a list of level 2s by written request only. Police require residents to give them identification and a signature before residents can see any information on level 2 sex offenders. Police record requests in case of future harass­ment or crimes committed against the sex offenders. Ricci and McDonald both stress that registered sex offenders have served their time, and crimes against them, or harassment of them, is illegal.

Information about individual level 1 sex offenders is not pub­lic information and they are con­sidered to pose a low risk to re­offend. Only police are aware of who they are.

“They know we know," said Ricci.

Ricci said he is available to talk to residents with concerns about sex offenders, and this information is not intended to scare people. Posting and dis­tributing flyers of level 3 sex offenders and making lists of level 2 sex offenders available is meant to arm Andover residents with knowledge, said Ricci.

“Sex offenders like to operate below the radar. What this does is remove the veil. The people that may come in contact with him have a right to know about this person," said McDonald. “People should conduct them­selves and take care of their chil­dren knowing there are people who commit these crimes out in the community."

CULTURAL COUNCIL

An artsy First Night celebration for 2004?

TRUSTEES OF MEMORIAL HALL LIBRARY

Next up: Accessibility

By Ben HeilmanA "First Night" celebration

could be in the works for Andover for Dec. 31, 2004. The Andover Cultural Council, which disperses money received from the Massachusetts Arts Council, is considering a large- scale event to showcase the ails, said member Mark Spencer.

Ideas are still being consid­ered. but Spencer said a large festival or event is being consid­ered for 2004-05. A First Night- style celebration is one of the contenders. “We want to fund an event that showcases the arts." said Spencer.

As for the past year, in 2003, the council gave $6,850 in grants to area artists and arts and cultural programs, said Spencer. Many of the grants averaged about $400. he said, but the awards are more important than the money, acting as a "good housekeeping seal." that the event or art work had passed a review process, said Spencer.

The Greater Lawrence Edu­cational Collaborative and the Chinese Cultural Exchange were two of the bigger winners in 2003. receiving $750 each. GLEC funds the middle school

literary journal Apple Sauce, the Academic Bowl and other edu­cational programs. "We like them a lot." said Spencer.

The Andover Chinese Cul­ture Exchange offers classes and programs at West Elementary School on Saturday mornings. The arts council funded their cultural celebration, which is scheduled at West Elementary on Saturday. March 27 from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. Another funded program in March is origami artist Michael LaFosse, who will be at the Bancroft Elemen­tary on Monday. March 1.

The Andover Historical Soci­ety got a $500 grant for running the archeological program “Lucy's Acre; A Place in Time" which featured the life of a for­mer Andover slave and the white women in her life who might have helped her.

Andover artist Joan Nyman, who presented "Before the Holo­caust; Faces of a Lost People" at Memorial Hall Library received $350. Some other 2003 award winners were the Andover Chamber Music Series. Treble Choir of New England. Andover Choral Society and New England Classical Singers.

By Alan ChitoffWhen was the last time you

visited Memorial Hall Library ? Well, next time you walk through the front doors of the town library, look across from the counter where library patrons use computer termi­nals to search the library’s holdings and you'll probably see young students sitting together in a study area created especially for them.

“Some years ago we did a survey of Andover residents to see what they felt their needs were - what they wanted to see in their community,” said Karen Herman, chairwoman for the Trustees of Memorial Hall Library, the group appointed by the selectmen to help define policy, support the library staff, and create a posi­tive atmosphere for staff and patrons alike.

“The results of the survey showed that the needs of that age group really hadn't been

; addressed before.” she said.The “young adult study

area" is a group of tables and comfortable chairs surrounded by shelves of young adult liter­ature and has become a conve-

; nient place for young students to read a book, hook up a lap­top. surf the Web. play a video

game, and work together on a school project. The students who gather here are usually supervised by a library staff member. “We think it's a good thing." Herman said.

Big issue of 2004?The foremost initiative in

2004 will be to make the library more user-friendly for people who have disabilities, said Herman. The plans include increased signage and altering some of the facilities so that people with disabilities can more easily access library resources.

The Trustees will also be looking at ways to leverage the resources that are already in place. "Because we're cutting edge on the technology, we've been able to be much more efficient and provide a lot more services than we would be able to otherwise." Herman said. "But we have to be very concerned about the budget and what that means for us. We're going to be stretched to the max, and it’s very hard with the kind of staffing that we have right now to meet all those needs, especially the children’s room which is so popular. We'll do as much as we can do."

By Ben HeilmanIn 2003, Andover's Commis­

sion on Disabilities helped Memorial Hall Library obtain $30,000 in grant money to improve its services for people with disabilities. Chairman Justin Coppola Sr. says in 2004 the commission will look to improve wheelchair accessibility downtown, on Main Street.

The $30,000 will be used to improve signage and buy soft­ware to improve computer access for the vision-impaired and people with speech impedi­ments. says Coppola.

The commission also provid­

ed training for town employees regarding the Americans with Disabilities Act.

The commission’s goals for 2004 are educating downtown merchants about the need for equal access to their stores. Forty percent of downtown businesses are not wheelchair accessible, says Coppola. "Our main focus is physical access," says Coppo­la, whose son Justin Coppola Jr. is wheelchair-bound. “The town's come a long way. At the same time, it has a long way to come." The commission will also look at Andover's town and school playgrounds in 2004.

Andrea GregoryHow much Andover homes

are assessed for is always a hot topic because of the direct link to residents' tax bills.

At the beginning of 2003 res­idents saw' a 30 to 40 percent jump in the assessed values of their home, said John Petty, member of the Board of Asses­sors.

"We were playing catch up." he said explaining the high jump in property values.

He said this year the assessed values of homes seems to have reached a plateau after last

year's large hike. He said most residents can expect a 3- to 5- percent increase in the assessed value of their homes.

“The tax bills are in the mail right now." he said.

According to Petty, the Board of Assessors meets as needed, which was about 20 times in 2003. He said a lot of the meet­ings came early in the year when about 450 people chal­lenged the new assessed values of their homes and requested hearings.

He said since the increase in assessed values is not as sub­

stantial this year, the board is not expecting to conduct as many hearings, but they will know for sure after Feb. 1, the last day to challenge assessed property val­ues.

According to Petty, the Andover Board of Assessors also plans to stay ahead of the game when it comes to assess­ing homes. Since fiscal year 2002, Andover has been assess­ing homes on a yearly basis, he said. He said the state will require all towns and cities start assessing homes on a yearly basis in 2005.

COMPAREAT:

By Ben HeilmanAn increase of development caused the Con­

servation Commission to deny more construction in Andover in 2003 than in previous years, said commissioner Paul Finger. Finger blamed devel­opers trying to overdevelop Andover for the denials. He expects the commission will have to continue to police and deny improper develop­ment in 2004.

The Conservation Commission is a seven- member body appointed by town manager to pro­tect Andover's natural resources in accordance with state law and town bylaw. The commission meets the first and third Tuesday of the month to grant or deny building permits.

Finger sees Andov er running out of space for development, but Finger says despite shrinking space, developers aren't relenting. "1 don't see a slow down at all in development," he said. “Developers alway s want to push the limit," said

Finger. "Our responsibility is to expect reason­able development with reasonable control," he said.

"We denied more permits this year than in pre­vious years," said Finger. "The constraints will increase (in 2004)."

Legislative changes in recent years and regula­tions implemented in 2003 have made the com­mission more effective, said Finger. A law allow­ing the commission to use residents’ permit money to hire outside consultants has made it eas­ier for the commissioners to focus on conserva­tion. Before the legislation, the commission had to request residents hire the consultants. This could create a conflict of interest, said Finger.

Commission Chairman Donald Cooper declined to speak to the Townsman for this story, referring staff to Conservation Agent Jim Greer. Greer did not return a phone call by Townsman press time.

HOUSING PARTNERSHIP

C hange to Brookside could lose 1% of town’s affordable homes

By Andrea GregoryAs a group that promotes affordable housing in

town, the Andover Housing Partnership Commit­tee can look hack at 2003 and consider the town reaching its 10 percent affordable housing thresh­old quite an accomplishment.

But w hile steps forward are being taken, those actively involved in creating and maintaining alfordable housing know that in the coming months the future of a significant development will be determined.

W inn Development is looking to convert Brrxik- side Estates, a 168 rental-unit development, into condominiums - primarily market-rate condos. Talks between the Housing Partnership Commit­tee. Housing Authority and Winn Development began last summer, and so far no resolution has been met.

Joan Duff. Housing Partnership Committee chairwoman, said if Winn’s plan goes through. Andover’s affordable housing count would drop one percent. All parties involved have agreed to spend more time negotiating to reach a compro­mise.

Duff said Brookside Estates is not the only development that will become eligible to turn its affordable units into market-rate units, and the part­nership committee will continue to look at way s to maintain the town's affordable housing stock.

For the Housing Partnership Committee's newest member. Bruce Sorota. the possibility of losing Brookside Estates to condos is the first big issue he has had to address. He said the committee is looking to reach a resolution in 2004.

"The Winn Development has been interesting to work on. ” said Sorota. "You work hard to get the 10 percent, and then you work on keeping units."

True affordability eyed■ AFFORDABLE HOUSINGContinued from pave 1

homes in the slate's formulaTown records show the state counts

I. 311 units as affordable, making up theII. 39 percentage. Only 708 of these units are actually affordable. That is about 54 percent of the units considered affordable

If only the actual affordable units - units renting and selling below market rate - were counted, the total would equal 6.15 percent of Andover's housing.

"The real need isn’t being met because of this inflated number," said Colyer.

"There is a very humane side to this," said Christine Metzemaekers, Andover Housing Authority director. "It's a tough time now . A lot of people are out of work. We are seeing more and more people come to our door every day. We do see the humane side of affordable housing on a daily basis more than other people do."

Metzemaekers said it is not just voucher holders who benefit from affordable hous­ing. and she stressed the difference between affordable housing and low income hous­ing. She said the two satisfy different needs, and it is important that Andover assist low income families as well as families looking to own their first home in town.

Colyer and Lisa Schwarz, senior planer, both said reaching the 10-percent threshold eliminated developers’ grounds for instant appeals to the state if denied Now that the town has more pull at the negotiating table with developers. Colyer does not believe

Andover will see large developments with 100 or more units again. But he said reach­ing the state's 10 percent requirement does not mean Andover should dismiss all affordable housing proposals. He believes the town should be more selective and sat­isfy the actual affordable needs of the town.

Colyer said it is important to keep in mind that new market-rate units are alwavs

being built, raising the number of afford­able units needed to reach 10 percent of

housing in town by the next census in 2010“It's always a moving target. " he said

"You're always playing a game of catch up."

“Come 201 I (when the census is releasedi you want to make sure you've been adding actual affordable units." said Schwarz So before the next census Andover should l<x>k to build affordable housing that fits Andover, said Schwarz She said the tow n has set standards for the type of affordable housing it would like t< see. Now that Andover has reached If) per­cent. it can apply those standards to new developments.

She said some town boards have expressed a desire for creating smaller affordable housing developments, develop­ments that are not clumped together, and affordable single- family homes

She said addressing the town's need for affordable three-bedroom units - whether owned or rented - is an issue as well

Andover planning officials have noticed a development trend: that rental units in Andover are being eliminated as part of a condominium craze. Colyer said it is easier for dev elopers to build or conv ert units to condos and walk away with a profit. "Near­ly all of the multi-family developments are condos," he said "In two decades, no one has built rental, except JOB- "

Colyer said there are many ways the town can look to create affordable housing and balance the needs of the community He noted that the town could own or build its own affordable units where 100 percent of the units could be affordable While most of the recent JOB projects have been creat­ed for people making below 80 percent the area's median income ($74,300). the town could choose to create homes for people who make at 50 percent, or any other per­cent. he said.

Town Meeting to vote on senior centerBy Ben Heilman

The Senior Center Task Force is finalizing a Town Meet­ing article that will ask lor money to design a new senior center. A meeting to draft the article was planned for Tuesday. Dee. 30 after Townsman press tune, said Selectman Mary Lyman.

In 2003. the task force decid­ed to try to build a center on a playing field near the existing center on Whittier Court. Seniors chose the location over a West Andover spot behind the West Andover Fire Station. Seniors liked the downtown aeeessibilitv of the current loca­

tion. The task force most recent­ly received permission from the School Committee to take a small soccer field to the south of Doherty Middle School and use that land for the center.

Lyman said a schematic of the proposed center will be pre­sented at Town Meeting and the task force is talking to other towns with senior centers to decide what features it should have. Lyman said a primary function of the next center will be to extend the lives of seniors, so it will offer wellness pro­grams such as nutrition and fit­ness programs. Lyman said a new' center could have a clime

where flu shots could be given and a doctor could make on-site visits.

If the article is approved at Town Meeting, the task force

plans to request money to build the center in 2005. said Ly man If construction proceeds smoothly, the new center would open in 2007. she said

NEW YEAR, NEW OWNERS

Happily learning on the jobLawyer buys Andover Liquors, plans few changes to Shawsheen Plaza shop

By Andrea GregoryBob Gilbert figures the best

way to learn about wine is to own a liquor store. Now, as the new owner of Andover Liquors in the Shawsheen Plaza, he is eager for his education to continue - and he said he plans share his palate­pleasing discoveries with his Andover clientele.

Gilbert has lived in Andover for 11 years, working as a lawyer downtown and raising three kids with his wife Annie.

“I got really interested in wines seven or eight years ago." said Gilbert.

Gilbert remembers being at a party, trying a really expensive bottle of wine and not caring for it. He said a much more inexpen­sive bottle of wine satisfied his pallet.

He said he began to discover that some more reasonably priced wines were equally, if not more satisfying than expensive wines. Thus, his research into the wine world began.

In time. Gilbert said he could not resist the chance to own a wine store, and when Andover Liquors went up for sale he jumped at the chance. The sale was finalized in mid-December.

"I thought for the next 40 years I would be driving by the store and regret it every day if 1 didn't (buy the business)," he said.

Since 1976. the store was owned by the Hoffman family. Gilbert said he has always thought highly of the store, so any changes he makes will only build on w hat was already established.

"The Hoffmans did such a great job running the place, there's little improvement that needs to be done," he said. "If 10 years from now' people think of the store as

being just like Joe Hoffman's place. I'll consider it a success."

What new’ changes are on their way?

While those purchasing a case of wine used to receive a 10-per- cent discount. Gilbert has upped it to 15 percent.

A mailed newsletter will enlighten customers on the wine business and feature a variety of products available in the store. Employ ees have already begun

collecting e-mail addresses to start their mailing list, and anyone who w'ould like to receive the newslet­ter can leave an e-mail address at the counter. Gilbert said.

"If you can educate the con­sumer. they’re going to love wine, and they're going to come back." he said. "We're looking for cus­tomers for life."

Although Gilbert is now run­ning the show', he said he is hold­ing onto all the employees who

have worked there. He also said he has no intention of changing the store's name.

“I think it's fantastic. I really do. You need a little new’ blood once in a while." said Marc- Aldrich. wine buyer, about the recent sale of the store.

"We're all excited for the new change and look forward to better and bigger things," said Rich Daly, store manager of 26 years.

New Year's resolution involve exercise?You'll find new owner more than spinning her wheels at former Training StationBy Judy Wakefield

A four-year member of the for­mer Andover Training Station now owns the Dundee Park fitness center.

Jeanne Scarpa of Shadow Lane in Andover bought the club last month. She assumed her new role

as president/owner on Dec. ? and the first order of business was to change the name. The health club is now called Andover Fitness and Conditioning Center.

Scarpa, a workout-a-holic who was a spinning instructor at the Andover Training Station, knows

Resident Jeanne Scarpa, a former spinning instructor, is now owner of Andover Fitness and Conditioning Center.

the business as she is clearly dedi­cated to it. She works out every day and has been doing so for years.

"It's a big part of my life and has been for the past 16 years," she said. "I know the industry, know the community and know I can make this w ork."

Except for the name change, other planned changes are mini­mal. Spiffing up the wood floor and bathrooms are among the small changes. Staffwise. there will be lots of familiar faces as many Andover Training Station employees are now working for Scarpa. The club, located at 5 Dundee Park, will continue to offer day-care services.

"I delegate and 1 have a great staff, a great management team, so things are going really well during this transition,” Scarpa said.

She considers health clubs "a comfort zone for so many people." Her business plans for the new year include offering a personal training and conditioning program to members, along with nutrition serv ices and hip-hop classes. Chil­dren's classes are also planned.

This mother of three, whose husband is Andover native Car­men Scarpa, said kids will get spe­cial attention under her watch. For

starters, she's already talked to coaches at Andover High School to talk about letting track and ski team members use the treadmills and other equipment after school. The 2:30 to 4:30 p.m. slot is typi­cally quiet at health clubs as the after-work crowd hasn't arrived and many young mothers prefer morning workouts.

"I plan to reach out. especially to kids and their parents, about the benefits of exercise," Scarpa said. "There's so much news about the growing number of obese kids in this country. I think it's an impor­tant issue."

But don't look for Scarpa to be at her club after school. She's a morning workout devotee who hits the gym after her kids are on the school bus. She's home when that bus makes its return run around ? p.m.. she said.

She's been a stay-at-home mom for years and knows it is a tough balancing act for many women when they re-enter the work force.

"That's where my management staff steps in." she said, noting that she has a history of turning her phone off between 2:30 and 8:30 p.m.

THE TOWNSMAN, JANUARY 1, 2004 7

Down economy time to focus on select issuesW

hen a year such as 2003 ends, many thoughts

are bound to come to mind. The town remem­

bers those it lost this year, including several people

who were staples of the downtown. Residents also

remember the significant stories, and the progress

made toward long term goals. Andover’s safety center

has inched toward completion in 2003. planning for a

senior center has progressed, many neighborhoods

have had new sewer lines installed, and money has

been collected slowly for a youth center.

Although the problems of 2(X)3 - such as ensuring

Andover High School students receive enough class­

room time - will earn into 2004. there is always rea­

son for optimism. The budget will be lean, but it will

mean that fewer new projects will crowd the town’s

plate and distract attention. In the year ahead.

Andover, its officials and its residents can focus on

the major projects that people always list as priorities:

• Successfully educating Andover’s public school

students while prioritizing town spending

• Completing ongoing projects, especially the safe­

ty center and phases of the sew er expansion

• Raising the funds privately for a youth center

• Creating a plan for a new senior center the major­

ity of the town can support.

If 2004 accomplishes just those things, it will be

one of the most productive years in a long time.

Web question

What’s the top priority for 2004?

Last week's TownsmanWeb-site question was:

What really makes Christmas feel like Christmas?

28 votes people voted.• 4, or 14 percent, said,

“Snow. I'm dreaming of a white Christmas."

• No voters said. “Pre­sents.”

• 15. or 54 percent, said. "Spending time with family or friends.''

• 1, or 4 percent, said. "The food”

• 3, or 11 percent, said. “The music.”

• 1, or 4 percent, said. “The lights”

• No voters said, “The cards.”

• 2, or 7 percent, said. "Church services."

• 2. or 7 percent, said. “Other.”

This week's question:What would you most

like to see the town tackle with vigor in 2004?

• The new youth center. Before another generation of youth grows up waiting for a youth center. I believe this is

the year the town must really endorse this project.

• The new senior center. Seniors have spent too long in a space that is too small to house all of their programs, and the senior population is only going to increase the longer the town waits.

• 1 want to see the safety center finally completed. It's close, and 1 believ e it actually has a chance of wrapping up in 2(KM.

• I want to see the Main Street beautification and traf­fic improvements to take place. It sounds like Andover's downtown will look great when it is finished, and it is something everyone who travels through dow n­town will enjoy.

• More than any project. I would like to see the high school offer the 990 hours to each student as is required. I would like to see the town come up with a long term solution to this problem to make sure it doesn't happen in the future.

LETTERS

The public and gamblingEditor. Townsman:

Representativ e gov ernment is a tricky sy stem. State Sen. Susan Tucker, an avowed opponent of legalized gambling, represents Andover. Ironically. Andover seems to love and subscribe to gambling. Seniors regularly bet on bridge games at the senior center. Andover High School recently touted and then hosted a charitable casino night to raise revenue for after-school clubs - despite the fact that gambling is illegal for young people and rep­resents an important risk factor, not unlike drug abuse, for this age group. Were there no fund-

j raising alternativ es to a gambling night that implicitly taught

I young people about the allure j associated with casino-style ’’ gambling? One Townsman read­

er recently interpreted the suc­cess of this casino night as evi­dence that the tow n is committed to superior education. Can you

j similarly imagine a wine-and-

spirits night to benefit the high i school ? Then, if w e could gam- ! ble or drink enough, maybe

Andover High School wouldn't suffer a shortage of curriculumtime.

Now that most communica­ble disease has been reasonably well-managed, lifestyle is the greatest influence on health risks and therefore medical care costs. Like America, Andover is ambivalent about lifestyle activi­ties that can compromise health, for example, gambling, drinking, and smoking. Citizen ambiva-

| lence puts elected representa­tives in untenable positions. What are politicians to do w hen constituents gamble, drink or smoke outside the established public-policy parameters - like

| the benign card play ing at the senior center that likely con­tributes to social life - or w hen

i they gamble, drink or smoke I within the letter of the law, but in

ways that diminish the long term; self-interests of the community - ’ like casino gambling to raise rev ­

enues for the high school? Alter­natively. perhaps elected repre­sentatives just don't understand

! the will of the people. Will

Rogers once described citizen ambivalence when he quipped that. "Mississippi will drink wet and vole dry so long as any citi­zen can stagger to the polls"

j Representing the people can bevery tricky indeed.

like Helen?I should have know n

w hen I saw her in Septem­ber that she wouldn't have told me how sick she really w as. She nev er was one to complain about the aches and pains that came w ith age. Only once did she ev er hint about what it felt like to be nearly 80: "Some­times it's difficult not being able to do the things I used

to do." she casually said onemorning this past May. But when I pushed her to explain, she flashed me her brilliant smile, winked at me with those cry stal blue eyes, and gracefully changed the subject. That w as her way

In fact, during our seven year friendship. Helen hardly ever talked about herself. Her chil­dren. yes Her grandchildren, yes. Her husband Jim. yes. The changes in town, sometimes.

But when it came to who she was - her past, her hopes, her dreams - she bowed out of the spotlight and graciously became the backdrop.

During our last visit together in early Septem­ber - that day we sat in her husband's family farmhouse sharing tea - I knew Helen had some­thing more to tell me. I knew because when I asked about her visit to the doctor that morning, she just looked at me and smiled. She offered no words at all. So. like a pesky child. I asked her

again: 'Helen, if everything is all nght. then why did you have to go to the doctor's this morning "'

For another moment or two. Helen just looked at me. still smiling - but not smiling with her usual brilliance. She became quiet: I became quiet There, in that 200 year old den. we just looked at each other for a few quiet second- And in that time. I knew: Helen and I w ould not be hav ing tea w ith each other again

Tonight as I -it here wnting. I'm thinking about Helen, my gracious older friend, and how much I will miss her company and conversation So I'm trying to remember what exactly did -he say . her last w ords to me?

Helen commented on the sky About how beautifully blue it was and how -he wished that -he could stay longer this year - long enough to see the leaves change But not this year, -he -aid Maybe next.

Fall is gorgeous here. I remember saying, but it is always too short. Then I laughed a little and told her about a new Scottish CD that I had been listening to on my way over to see her I keep playing Auld Lana Syne." I sheepishly admitted "Do you think that's strange, considering it's still summer.’"

"Oh. no." Helen exclaimed. "It s a lovely tune A perfect song of friendship at any time of year "

So then, as I w nte my last column of this y ear. I raise a cup of kindness for my dear friend. Helen Young.

Regency Ridge: A public road that wants sewerEditor. Townsman:

Regency Ridge is a public- street. The April 28. 200? Andov er Tow n Meeting v oted to accept Regency Ridge as a pub­lic street; and the street was deeded to the town in Mav 2003.

A Dec. 4 Townsman article entitled “Private roads, like Regency Ridge, not part of sewer project” mistakenly reported that "Regency Ridge is not part of the tow n's sew er plan because it is not a tow n-owned road." Jack Petkus. the town

Department of Public Work- director. asserted in the article that Regency Ridge "is a pri­vate road" that did not meet sub­division standards He went on to say Regency Ridge residents are "...paying privately for trash collections and snow plow­ing...because it is not a town owned road." which is why Regency Ridge will not be con­nected to the new tow n sew er

Regency Ridge actually meets and exceeds the town's subdivision standards as certi­fied by Jack Petkus' DPW and

all other required town depart­ments prior to the April Town Meeting street-acceptance vote. The town does collect the trash and plow the street, as it does all other Andover public streets. Regency Ridge is eligible, as a public town-owned street, for public sewer, and the residents have actually requested that the new sewer be installed on their street.

TOWN TALK

Strolling old Andover’smemory lane at holiday time

Holiday time causes many residents to wander down memory lane and the Andover of yesteryear as they gather with loved ones.

For Barbara lnnes of Juniper Road, last week's mention in the Towns­man's All Those Years Ago column of an Ice Capades skater caused her to reminisce about Christ­mas in Andover during the 1950s.

That’s when ice skating was very popular and even allowed on Haggetts Pond, which serves as the town's drinking water supply.

Local skater Irene Hamden w as the ice princess in town as she was chosen for the Ice Capades.

“Her father. Everel Harnden. was a good skater and he built an outdoor rink with lights in their backs ard He taught her how to skate.'' said lnnes. w ho w as dating her husband. Robert, at the time. Robert was a neighbor of the Hamdens on Haggetts Pond Road, at the comer of Low ell Street.

Neighbors were proud of Irene and always went to the Ice Capades Christmas show at the old Boston Garden where they gave her roses.

"In those days, neighbors were family ," lnnes said fond­ly.

Irene Hamden eventually married skater Stigg Larson - an Ice Cadet w ho played badminton on skates in their show They had three kids and settled in Andover, but lnnes lost track of them in the 1970s.

Another bumper crop year for senior tax voucher program

Town Treasurer David Reilly said Andover's Senior Voucher Program continued to thrive in 2003. The program allows seniors to work side by side w ith town staffers, work­ing 100 hours and S500 off their tax bill in exchange.

Seniors participate by performing tasks such as stuffing water bills, excise tax bills, personal property bills, and helping out in Town Offices.

The program has been in place for nearly 10 years now. and Reilly hopes additional seniors can take adsantage of the benefits in 2004. "Ten years ago w e had 50 people: then we went to 100; now we're close to 150 people in the pro­gram," said Reilly. "They're a great group of people. We learn a lot from them and they learn a lot from us."

Every Wednesday, at the Andover Senior Center. Francis meets with her group to make the dolls. Although most of the women who are part of Dolls for Dolls are over 50. the group encourages y ounger peo­ple to join in on the fun.

"I love being part of Dolls for Dolls. It's a very rew arding experience and it all goes to a good cause. I also meet a lot of new people and make new friends Everybody who does it loves it and I think more people need to be invoked in something like this." said Francis. "We could always use more people and they can be of any age and don't have to be skilled. We make our dolls in sta­tions, so there's something for everyone to do. For example, one person sews all the dolls: another person stuffs the dolls, anoth­er person paints on the faces, and so on. So I think there's something that every one can do."

The first doll ever made for these charita­ble purposes w as in 1992 at Stevens Memo­rial Library by North Andover resident Eve­lyn Avallone. Avallone decided to start Dolls for Dolls in hopes that the dolls would lift the spirits of sick young children and their families. "We some­times make dolls for adults too: but. the majority is given to children." Francis said.

The dolls are made out of polyester and stuffed w ith fiberfill. all of w hich is donated. Then the arms and legs are attached, clothes are put on. a face is drawn and finally, the dolls are bagged and shipped. The dolls differ in gender, col­ors. races and even clothes.“We've dressed up some dolls as basketball players and have also dresed them up in vests and jackets. We try to make it cre­ative," said Francis.

“Each doll also has a name and a mes­

shows children that we

care about them and that

we haven’t forgotten

about them.”

sage." added Francis. "For example, we would name a doll John, and then write a message on it saying. T love you' or Hi my name is.' Then we sign the dolls using the actual name of the doll. So. in this case, we would sign the doll 'John.'"

"Once all the dolls are made, they are sent to the Main Office on Salem Street in South Law rence and then sent to local hos­

pitals and nursing homes. Dolls for Dolls has shipped dolls to Lawrence General Hospital. Holy Family Hos­pital. Mass General Hospi­tal. and has esen shipped dolls overseas to Peru. Africa. Korea and Iraq." Francis said.

Francis and her group make an estimated 40 dolls per w eek. This season i from last Christmas through July), they have made about 5.000 dolls. Orders start

coming in during September and October. Francis said.

With the holiday season here, parents are buy ing presents for their children and fami­lies are decorating their Christmas trees.

Dolls for Dolls meets regularly at the Andover Senior Center to mane dolls for children who are sick or in challenging circumstances.

"It's a joy ous occasion of family together­ness and fun With all this excitement and joy. it's sometimes hard to remember the unfortunate families w ho are unable to cele­brate the holiday s like most people do There are children in hospitals who don't get the chance to put up a Christmas tree, or even spend the holidays at home I belies e Dolls for Dolls show' children that we care about them and that we hasen't forgotten about them. I think these dolls hase a great impact on people, and I think these dolls helps to put smile' on their faces." Francis said.

Along with Francis, residents of the Andos er Commons on Railroad Asenue has e also been a part of Dolls for Dolls

Dolls for Dolls isn't the only orangiza- tion Francis is dedicated to. Francis has also been involved with another nonprofit orga­nization that makes lap robes for the nursing homes. She first came up with the idea six months ago and members of the First L'mt- ed Methodist Church in North Andover hase joined her "I try ms best to gise as much as I can to others. It gises me a great feeling and I know that my dedication to these two organizations hase really helped to make a lot of people happy."

Restoring the ‘Jewel’ at the Stevens-Coolidge Place

The French Garden Restoration Project at the Stevens-Coolidge Place will be the topic of a presenta­

tion at the Andos er Garden Club general membership meeting Tuesday, Jan. 6 at 10 a.m., at the West Parish Church Fellowship Hall.

Laura Bibler. Andover Gar­den Club member, developed a rehabilitation plan of the French Garden as the subject of her the­sis in Landscape Design at Rad­cliffe Institute in 2000

She has been designing resi­dential landscapes since 1993 and has served on the local com­mittee at the Steven-Coolidge Place since 1991.

Bibler is a resident of Andos erand currently serves on the Histone Preservation Com­mittee of the Garden Club Fed­eration of Massachusetts, the parent organization of the

Andos er Garden Club.The French Garden was a

prominent component of the Stevens-Coolidge Place land­scape as it existed during the 1930s.

Created under the guidance of Joseph Everett Chandler, a premier preservation architect, the French Garden display ed an intricately patterned potager and the flavor of French formal design. In 1972. the garden was greatly simplified and lost many of its character-defining fea­tures.

In 1999. the Trustees of the Reservations, the non-profit conservation organization that owns and manages the property , initiated measures to return this piece of the property to its for­mer stature as the "jewel" of the Coolidge's estate.

Bibler's presentation will describe the history of the

French Garden, interpret the concept framing its original design and explain the Rehabili­tation process that is nearing completion. In addition. Bob Murray, the superintendent of Stevens-Coolidge Place, will provide information on the reha­bilitation progress and the Trustees of Reservations.

The Andover Garden Club, dedicated to the issues of con- sen ation. preservation and edu­cation. encourages residents of the area to attend this meeting and learn about this treasure.

A fee of $5 is charged for non-members to cover the cost of refreshments.

Residents of Andover are welcome to join this non-profit club by contacting membership co-chairs. Penny Majike and Karen Schnorrenberg (978-474- 8973 or karensberg@ Comcast .net.)

School students use their cafeteria to sit at tables and eat lunch. But on Friday afternoons, students gather around a different table there - a pingpong table. That's when AHS' pingpong club takes the floor.

Founded by senior Joshua Zhang, the club has become a place for students to gather, socialize and play friendly games before leaving school for the weekend The three- year-old club attracts many of AHS' Asian students, according to teacher Mark Winer and several play ers.

Junior Steven Sun came to America from Taiwan four years ago. Pingpong is a pop­ular game in Taiwan because the country is overpopulated and pingpong doesn't require much space to play, he says “Me and my mom play ping- pong usually once a day." says Sun.

Sun's school in Taiwan was involved in many ping- pong tournament' and he w as a team leader. "It is really popular." he says.

The AHS club is much lower key than Sun s former team, say students. The stu­dents don't follow a set pro­cedure. but just start volley s. Many play doubles. Some play ers might keep score of a game before the afternoon is over, and the club has com­peted w ith other schools at times, but the club is mostly about has mg fun. “It's a cool dow n after school." say s senior Abraham Lipton.

“It's a nice start to our w eek­end." agrees senior Vamsi San- nupureddy.

Ruth Tibbetts on the paino. Mildred Jones and Mickey Nazzaro showed their spirit as they prepared for the senior center s New Year's Eve party and talent show.

By Ben HeilmanAndover's seniors are getting ready for a

sold-out New Year's Eve event. The second annual Andover Senior Center New Year's Eve Party is set to pop. with entertainers, refreshments and the earliest toast in town as the party is set to begin at l :30 p.m.

The 2003 New Year's Eve Party was such a popular ev ent. Senior center manage­ment decided to bring it back.

“A lot of the seniors told us it was nice to have something to do for New Year's Eve." said Bernadette Graycar. assistant program coordinator. Senior center planners capped the attendance at 70 so the event could include a performance area in the cafeteria, said Graycar. They sold out the party early at S3 per ticket, she said.

The party 's main event is a talent show that has drawn on the talents of seniors, res­idents and town employ ees to offer an early afternoon of entertainment. The show is an eclectic mix featuring singers from the Department of Community Services, guitar- playing health inspector Dan Tremblay and piano soloist Ruth Tibbetts, to name a few

Semi-retired singer Gloria Lyons and the

"DCS Divas" is one anticipated act. Lyons has performed with bands since her youth and was once featured on her own radio show. She volunteers al the DCS through the town's senior tax voucher program.

But office work is not her true forte, so DCS head Mary Donohue volunteered Lyons when DCS workers were approached to entertain at the party. "She's really the tal­ent in the office." said Donohue. Lyons will perform old standards titled "Old Time Favorites" with Donohue and other "divas" Kim Stamas. Meg Batcheller and Vem Loschi.

Tibbetts, the piano play er, is a regular, if informal performer at the senior center Her music rolls through the hallways, always attracting admirers. Tibbetts grew up play­ing piano, and said music has always been a part of her life.

"It's a pleasure to play (at the center)," said Tibbetts.

The roster of performers also features a senior center tap-dancing group in an act titled "Taps io Broadway." another dance act featuring Irish step dancing and storyteller Bill Barrons.

Camille Greico is one of several seniors who said Monday she would attend the senior center s New Year s Eve party on Wednesday, after Townsman deadline.

Some of these works are written as a humorous satire on Victori­an times provoking Queen Vic­toria to forbid their production, but to no avail. Their popularity has continued and spread, espe­cially in America.

Gilbert, who wrote all of the librettos, was a dealer in quips and paradoxes and ludicrous dilemmas, while Sir Arthur Sul­livan. one of England's great composers of "serious" music, clothed Gilbert's lyrics in music by turns lyrical and humorous.

de strain or "pulled" muscle To recogr/ze the differences between a sprain and a strain keep in mind that a strain always involves the mus­cles and tendons: a sprain involves the liga­ments.

Muscle cramps are an age-old enemy of the athlete. Chiropractic adjustments can improve your circulation while proper nutritional support can help keep your electrolytes in balance to prevent painful muscle contractions.

Numbness tingling, or pain in the hand area can be symptoms caused by excessive pres­sure applied to the median nerve, a nerve which extends from the neck to the wrists. Watch closely for any nsk of developing a repet­itive stress disorder commonly referred to as carpal tunnel syndrome. Chiropractic is very effective at relieving this type of nerve pressure.

A spinal exam from Maddox Chiropractic

can determine if there are physical limitations present that may increase your risk of over use injuries. Chiropractic corrects spinal misalign­ment conditions the muscles and promotes total healing of soft tissue. That’s how chiro­practic improves muscle balance and coordina­tion, which ultimately helps to prevent further injury.

The integration of your bony structures and supportive soft tissues keeps your body bal­anced Chiropractic puts it al together for your good health.

John Linnemann of Andov er, recently completed a 30-day summer backpacking and sea kay aking course in Australia with the National Outdoor Leadership School, which is based in Lan­der, Wyo.

This expedition-style course traveled through a remote region in western Australia known as the Pilbara. Students were chal­lenged in this land of extremes as they explored rugged plateaus, dramatic gorges, blue waters, and white sandy beaches. The stu­dents began them journey kayaking the waters surrounding the Dampier Archipelago. There they w ere given the opportunity to practice kay aking skills along with the chance to explore part of Australia's beautiful marine ecosy stem.

Priority: Clearing walks near schoolsSuperintendent calls lor such street sidewalks to be plowed first after storms

By Ben HeilmanSanborn Elementary School parent

Kristin McMahon was duly impressed when she saw Sanborn Principal Stephen Jankauskas shepherding stu­dents to their side streets when snow made the sidewalks near the school impassible. Such efforts might not be necessary if the town adopts a proposed plan to prioritize student walking routes as the first sidewalks to be cleared of snow.

The record-breaking December snow storms made the morning school commute difficult for many children who walk to school, said Superinten­dent Claudia Bach. She has planned a meeting with Highway Superintendent Chris Cronin to address the problem. "I am coming up with a plan with High­way Superintendent Chris Cronin to prioritize w hich sidewalks are plowed first." on days when kids have to get to school in the snow, she said.

McMahon was still grateful that Jankauskas made the extra effort on Monday. Dec. 15. when sidewalk snow forced students to walk on Lovejoy Road. "They (the sidewalksi weren't plowed at all. They were impassible." said McMahon. She thought the side­walks on Lovejoy Road should be con­sidered a priority in plow mg.

Bach apologized for the inconve­nience caused that day. when a snow­storm hit and then intensified in the early morning hours. Bach first post­poned the school day for two hours and then canceled the school day at 8:30 a.m. "The choice I made was my least, least favorite." said Bach.

But Bach said if December was any indication of the w inter to come, she may be faced w ith more difficult deci­sions. "I hope parents understand that this may happen again." she said. Bach said parents should follow their ow n judgment in sending their kids to school in w eather that seems danger­ous. "They (students) will never be counted absent." said Bach

Technology advocates worry cuts could cause failure to integrateTechnology director: 7 years of technology, training ’going to be wasted’

Jane Champion from Andover, completed a 31-day Alaska Mountaineering course with the National Outdoor Leadership School last summer.

This expedition style course explored the Chugach Moun­tains on Alaska's coast, a pristine wilderness of sky, snow and rock seldom seen by visitors. The coastal Chugach are the most heavily glaciated mountains in the world: the interior Alaska Range possesses some of the continent's highest peaks. The group traveled and lived on glaciers learning skills like crevasse rescue and technical snow and ice climbing. NOLS moun­taineering courses focus on prov iding students with the skills to continue climbing, camping, and traveling through the w ilder­ness long after they return home.

Jonathan J. Swift, from Andover, is enrolled in Hobart Col­lege as a member of the class of 2007 in Genev a. N Y.

By Alan ChitoffAlthough Andover has invested millions

in its technology program during the past decade, some educators are concerned that the technology program could face serious obstacles in the future.

Budget cuts already hav e set back the ini­tiative to integrate computers into classroom curriculum, they said, and they fear addi­tional cuts w ill follow. Andover is scram­bling to find money for as many as 16 new teachers at Andover High School to satisfy state requirements for 990 hours of class­room learning.

"The amount of money w e've put into technology and our training ov er the course of the last sev en y ears is going to be wasted." said Ray Tode. director of educational tech­nology and information systems for Andover public schools.

After the most recent round of budget cuts. Andover High School cut four out of six technology teachers.

"It s frustrating to lose good people that we ll probably never get back, " said James Batchelder, graphics arts teacher at Andover High School.

Tode said cuts to the regular operating budget and to capital improv ement plans have significantly affected the ability of the remaining technology integration specialists

to support classroom teachers.Hav mg a specialist, w ho was a classroom

teacher, come into the classroom and work w ith the teachers to help plan lessons around computers is critical to a successful technol­ogy integration program, he said But those specialists hav e been pulled out of that role now and assigned to computer labs to teach basic computer skills

"It's a step backward in my opinion." Tode said.

Technology integration specialists have been disappointed with the change, too. Before the budget cuts, the specialist would support the classroom teacher, helping to train on new softw are applications and sup­port new lessons by w orking with individual students to build computer skills

But w ithout the specialists there to help, such software applications are less likely to be a pan of classroom learning "Teachers really aren't making an attempt to get involved." because technology specialists are not there, said Candy Borrello. the technolo­gy integration specialist at Doherty Middle School w ho w as part of the pilot program to hav e a rolling laptop lab

Borrello said training on the use of lap­tops and application had to happen to make the rolling laptop lab program a success "It's a process to plan a lesson around your

computer, and it really does take someone that has an idea of how the technology works to help people out with it. Teachers took advantage of it. when I was there and available to them."

"Training is absolutely critical for teach­ers." said Tode "If you put a thousand com­puters into a school and you don't train the people on how to use them and apply them in the classroom and have the student use them in an appropriate way. then it's a waste of money."

Cutbacks have significantly altered the program in other w ay s, according to some educators Instead of integrating technology into classroom cumculum. students are now going to a technology class w here they leant basic computer skills that might not be part of a classroom lesson. Classroom teachers are released during these times to prepare lessons while the students work on a tech­nology lesson

Tode warns that classroom teachers might begin viewing the technology initiative as another "flash in the pan" - that technology really isn't that important

"We re going to have old computers in the classroom that people don't w ant to use

And how do y ou train w ith new er stuff that's coming out.’ Like anything, you need to nur­ture it and pay attention to it." he said

Two Andov er residents entered Bry ant College in Smithfield. R.l. for the 2003-04 academic year.

Bryant admitted the following students to the class of 2007:Ashley Hegarty. a freshman communication major; and

Amanda Gallant, a freshman, undeclared major.

Forty-four students were representatives of their schools as they participated in the Andover Public Schools Middle School Cross-Country Meet earlier this fall.

The 1.3-mile course started and ended on the track at Andover High School's Eugene Lovely Field and included field running, road running, and some running through the woods.

The event was held to bring students from the three public middle schools together in an envi­ronment promoting friendly athletic competition, school spirit and sportsmanship.

Andover High cross-country coach Leo Lafond. assistants Russ Wrigley and Brenda Clarke-Warne. and dozens of members of the cross-country team had laid out the course and conducted the event. Student-athletes from the team were assigned throughout the course, acting as guides and assisting runners. They also timed the runners and recorded the results.

Separate boys and girls races were held. The finishing places for the first five runners from each school in each race were added for a race score.

The results from the boys and girls races were combined to crown a middle-school team cham­pion. Doherty Middle School, behind strong run­ning from several students, claimed the team championship over West and Wood Hill middle schools.

The Doherty team was awarded the Golden Warriors Cup to display at their school.

The results of the boys race is as follows:1. Josh Torres (Doherty) 10:262. Aaron Williams (Doherty) 10:323. Kaelan Crawford (Doherty) 10:334. Brendan Crawford (Doherty) 10:495. Adam Vetere iDoherty) 11:056. Alex Cole (West) 11:207. Mark Vetere (Doherty) 11:20

BASKETBALL

Vetrano knocks down all-time AHS scoring markTops Tom McLaughlin early in Christmas tournament, expected to pass Charlotte Muller

By Rick HarrisonAndover High boys hoop sharpshooter Chris Vetra­

no made sure the suspense didn’t last long, waiting just three games into the 2003-04 season before surpassing recent legend 7om McLaughlin as the all-time scoring leader in AHS boys basketball history.

After a seven-point season opener, Vetrano rang up back-to-back 30-point performances as the Golden Warriors split their first two games in the Greater Lawrence Christmas Tournament.

Those 67 points jumped his career total to 1.592. McLaughlin (1997-2000) graduated with 1,564 points in a high school career tragically cut short when he missed his entire senior season w ith a knee injurs

The actual record-setting basket was. fittingly enough, a trademark three-pointer midway through the first half of a 76-64 toumev consolation win over North Andover.

As the Townsman went to pi“ss Vetrano was also poised to pass Charlotte Muller a. the top scorer, boy or girl, in AHS annals — needing only nine more points to eclipse Muller's round and remarkable 1.600 figure.

Vetrano was an odds-on favorite to net the nine in Andover's fifth-place consolation game against Greater Lawrence Tech Monday afternoon.

The only meaningful individual milestone left for Vetrano is to become the first 2.000-point marksman on the AHS books.

While Vetrano's place in Golden Wamors' basket­ball lore is assured, for the moment it is probably tem­pered in his mind by the aggravating fact that Andover came up short in its latest quest for the elusive Christ­mas tourney championship.

Lawrence once again made sure of that, as the Lancers were left standing after an 82-76 opening round (quarterfinal) shootout victory at the North Andover Field House.

***

Following a resounding 66-30 victory over Methuen in the semifinal round, the AHS girls varsity basketball team was poised to capture another Greater Lawrence Christmas Tournament championship as the Townsman went to press.

Andover's Jack Barrett (#22) tries to avoid a trap by Lawrence in Greater Lawrence Boys Basketball Christmas Tournament action. Lawrence upset Andover in the second game of the tournament.

Salem. N H High (3-0) for the title Tuesday, as the locals chased a fifth straight tourney crown and seventh in eight years.

BOYS BASKETBALLChris Vetrano also set several

Christmas Tournament records even before stepping on the court for the consie against Greater Lawrence Tech.

In the victory over North Andover, he became the all-time tourney leader in both total points and three-pointers.

He tied a tourney mark for treys in a game, nailing eight against North .Andover, and needed just one tnfecta against Greater Law rence to set a record for most (14) in a single

tournament.The Golden Wamors were 2-1

entering the game against GLT. and next up is a non-league road tussle this Saturday night against South Shore giant Brockton at the Boxers' gym (7:30 p.m.).

The double jinx continued as the Golden W arriors were unable to beat Lawrence High in the Christmas Tournament and did not mount a serious run at the elu­sive tourney title.

The Lancers' size and quickness gave Andover problems, and despite a Herculean effort on offense the

locals dropped the shootoutChris Vetrano was on target from long

and short range, pouring through a game- high 30 points I20 in the second half). and Jack Barrett pumped in 22.

two.Andover never let the Lancers, who

led 39-34 at the half, get too far away although a Lawrence burst to open the second half did briefly build the lead to 16 points (52-36).

The Golden W amors are capable of devouring seemingly-large deficits with their outside artillery , but on this night they needed to shoot better than 25 per cent from behind the arc.

Lawrence also ousted .Andover from the tournament last year. 67-48 in the semifinal round, and gav e the locals their early walking papers in the first round of the MLAA Tournament. 71-63.

The Scarlet Knights refused to go away, testing AHS throughout the game and trailing by only a bucket (32-30) at the break.

18 THE TOWNSMAN, JANUARY l, 2004

AHS ROUNDUP

Undefeated on ice (girls), in water (boys) or on track (girls)(Ed. Note: Due to the New Year's Day

holiday and the Tuesday morning Towns­man deadline, many Andover High games played Monday and Tuesday of this week will appear in next week's AHS Roundup).

By Rick HarrisonThe Andover girls gymnastics team won

the Gloucester Invitational while girls hock­ey, girls track and boys swim & dive were all undefeated at presstime

GIRLS ICE HOCKEYSophomore forward Maria Nasia and

freshman forward Alison Bums popped in two goals each, while 16 players figured in the scoring w ith at least one goal or assist, as the Andover High girls varsity hockey team hammered Gloucester. 11 -2, in vaca- tion-week play at the Merrimack Valley Forum

Nine players netted goals as the balanced Lady Warriors improved to 3-0. including a 9-0 romp over the same Gloucester crew exactly one week earlier

ScheduleThe schedule began to toughen as AHS

returned to action yesterday, visiting Biller­ica on New Year's Eve for a game at the Hallenborg Pavilion.

"We re off to a terrific start." said AHS head coach Bill McCarthy "We hope to fin­ish 2003 on a high note by beating Billeri­ca.”

Tw o more rugged opponents are on the immediate horizon, as this Saturday the locals play Westford Academy at the Tyn- gsboro Skate 3 Pavilion moon) and next W ednesday night Lmcoln-Sudbury comes to the M\ Forum for an 8 20 p.m. game.

"January is a pivotal month for us." said McCarthy "We play 10 games and almost all are against highly-respected opponents — or teams we've never played before and know little or nothing about."

Andover 11 Gloucester 2

For the second time in seven days Andover jumped all over struggling Gloucester, scoring early and often on the w ay to a 4-0 lead after three minutes and a 7-1 advantage at the end of the first period.

"It's not our sty le to run up a score." said McCarthy "We used a trap forecheck m the second period and didn't score any goals. All we wanted to do was bottle them up.

"1 let our kids loose for the first few min­utes of the third period and then reined them in again."

Nasta. who scored two goals m each of the first three games, gave the Lady War­riors a 1-0 lead just 42 seconds after the opening faceoff

Megan Finn connected 27 seconds later, freshman Becky Caims scored for the third straight game 53 seconds after that, and Nasta completed the early onslaught with another goal at 3:04

After Gloucester's Tricia Robinson-Neff

netted the first of her two goals. AHS coun­tered with tallies by Capt. Ashley Malms, sophomore forward Samantha Weinburg and Alison Bums 91 seconds apart later in the period.

Bums pocketed her second goal at 1:21 of the final session and sophomore Liz Roda found the range 17 seconds later.

Adrienne Shea joined the goal parade 43 seconds after Roda. and sophomore Amy Marlow 's first goal of the season at 7:36 capped the potent AHS attack

Nasta completed a five-point day with three assists, while Malins also passed out three assists and Bums had two setups to give the prolific first line 13 points for the afternoon.

"Those three girls are playing so well together right now they make something happen every shift," said McCarthy .

"All their goals were the result of quick bing-bing-bing passing and a setup for a shot into an open side of the net.

"Jacqui Munro. Shea and Caims are also creating a lot of opportunities But they’ve been a little snakebitten,” said McCarthy. "Today they missed on a couple breakaw av chances and didn't convert on passes that were on their sticks."

Also contributing assists were freshman defenseman Samantha Monson (2). Caims (2). Shea. Weinburg. Kim Chandler. Munro, freshman Becky Johnson. Capt.Allison Abreu. Samantha Collins and Kristen Costagliola.

Goaltenders Dolly Beechinor and fresh­man Christina Cahill combined for 18 saves as Andover finished with a 29-20 shooting edge.

BOYS HOCKEYThe Andover High boys varsity hockey

team, struggling to get its offense untracked against several strong early-season oppo­nents. dropped a 5-0 decision to Merrimack Valley/Dual County League Division 1 power Billerica and lost to hard-hitting Winthrop. 3-1. in the opening round of the annual Haverhill Christmas Tournament.

"We played very well in all but the first period of the Winthrop game." said AHS head coach Bill Cullen. "Those are tw'o of the better (public school) teams in the state. We were 0-0 with Billerica into the second period and we skated with Winthrop after that (nightmarish I first period."

ScheduleThe Golden Warriors faced another

perennial power, coach Cullen’s former team Wilmington High, in the final round of the Haverhill Tournament on Tuesday (after Townsman presstime).

Today (Jan. 1) the locals play a New Year's Day matinee against Division 1 Westford Academy (2-2-1) at the Tyngs- boro Skate 3 Pav ilion (2 p.m i

Saturday it's back to MWDCL Division 2 action at Haverhill (6 p.m.). and next Wednesday a five-game "road trip" con­cludes against Dracut at the Janas Rink in

Lowell (6 p.m.).The Golden Warriors' schedule is heav­

ily-weighted on the away side" this season, with 13 of the 20 regular season games on enemy ice.

Injury reportSophomore forw ard A.J. Drivas suffered

a shoulder injury when he was checked into the boards during the Winthrop game.

At presstime the exact nature and extent of the injury', as well as how long Drivas is expected to be sidelined, was unknown.

Last year Andover was hit with no less than five shoulder separations that kept sev­eral top players off the ice for large chunks of time.

Haverhill Christmas Tournament First RoundWinthrop 3Andover 1

It took sophomore Matt Colby exactly 26 seconds to give the Golden Warriors a 1- 0 lead.

Linemate Tobv Cohen swung behind the net and passed across to Colby stationed near the far post for a quick tap-in.

But that w as all Winthrop goalie Justin Cerulli would surrender, and it was the first of only two Andover shots in a period that saw the Vikings out-gun the locals by a mammoth 18-2 margin.

"Even though we came out of it 1-1 it was a very disappointing 15 minutes of hockey." said coach Cullen. "Winthrop liv ed up to the reputation (tough and physi­cal ) it brought into the game."

AHS junior netminder Craig Espinola was immense, stopping the first 17 shots he faced before the Vikes' aptly-named Bubba Gunn fired home an unassisted goal to tie it

1 -1 with 23 seconds left in the stanza.The final 30 minutes were pretty even.

Winthrop holding a 15-14 shooting edge for a 33-16 game advantage, and it remained 1- 1 until early in the final period.

Matt Driscoll notched an unassisted game-winning goal at the 3:20 mark, and Gunn set up Frank LeClair's insurance marker just 92 seconds later (4:52).

Espinola finished w ith 29 saves and freshman Dan Abreu, w ho played the final minute in the AHS net. stopped one shot.

Billerica 5Andover (I

The Golden Warriors w ere locked in a scoreless tie w ith Billerica for the first 16 minutes, before the Indians netted a pair of second-penod goals and three more insur­ance tallies in the final stanza.

BMHS goaltender Chris Curtis kept the locals off the board by stopping all 14 shots he faced.

In his varsity debut. Andover freshman netminder Daniel Abreu was impressive w ith 36 stops as he stepped in for Craig Espinola I sidelined by the flu) and received his baptism under fire.

"Abreu came into a tough situation and

displayed excellent poise and cool." said coach Cullen. "It bodes well for the future.”

Andrew Scarpaci sparked Billerica with two goals and an assist, while Ryan Kelly contributed a goal and three assists.

GIRLS GYMNASTICSLike just about every other girls gym­

nastics coach in the state, Julie Chapman didn't know quite w hat to expect when her Andover High team stepped up to compete for the first time this season in the third annual Gloucester Invitational.

"Every team in Massachusetts is still adjusting to the rule changes (USA to Fed­eration)," said Chapman. “Trying to make sure their girls' routines match the new scoring system."

Adding to the mystery , the AHS coach had no idea what the other teams had for new and returning talent.

The glitzy seven-school held included four of the eight All-State Meet qualifiers from last winter — Beverly, Woburn. Bish­op Fenwick of Peabody and Andover.

"This is our second time at this competi­tion. It's a great way for us to get our feet wet." said Chapman. "There's less pressure. It’s a fun meet."

When it was over the AHS coach could­n't have been much happier, the v ictorious Lady Warriors repeating as champs and looking by far like the most organized and

know ledgible of the participants.Andover's 132.10 score was nearly three

points better than runner-up Reading, which finished at 129.375, and only reigning state champ Barnstable (with a 133) has gone higher in early-season meets.

Beverly, the state runner-up last winter, placed third at Gloucester (128.00) and was followed by Bishop Fenwick (125.70). Woburn (125.275). Gloucester (121.40) and Pope John of Ev erett (120.85).

"No running tally of the team scores was posted," said Chapman. "1 knew we were doing well, but until they announced it no one knew who won the meet.”

Every team had five or six gymnasts competing in each of the four events (including a maximum of two all-arounds). Team scores were determined by adding the top four individual totals.

For AHS. juniors Libby Fortier and Meghan Harrington were the all-arounds with Fortier registering a 34.25 and Har­rington 32.45.

Fortier was team-high in floor exercise, with the only 9.0 of the meet for the locals, in vault (8.65) and on the uneven bars (8.55). She also posted an 8.05 on balance beam.

Harrington scored 8.45 in floor. 8.4 on bars. 7.9 on beam and 7.7 in vault.

Sophomore Katie Infantine, although slowed by the flu, still came through with an 8.7 in floor, 8.45 on beam and 7.95 on bars.

Freshman Renee Coiro made an auspi­cious high school varsity debut with an 8.2 in floor. 8.0 in vault and team-best 8.6 on

beam."An outstanding first meet for a fresh­

man." said Chapman. "Especially since we’ve been changing her routines almost

daily."three Lady Warriors competed in two

events each, junior Ann Marie Cashman on beam (7.9) and bars (7.6), Capt. Jenn Mason in flixir (7.45) and vault (7.2). and sopho­more Sarah Coneenv bars (7.85) and floor

(7.4).Capt. Andrea Knvelow registered a 7.o

on beam, while sophomore Steph Theroux had a 7.65 and junior Andrea Coiro a 7.35

in vault.While Infantine was hampered by the

flu, freshman Carly Verrette missed the meet altogether because of the illness.

"The word for us is 'potential.' We have a ton of it," said Chapman. "The thing that surprised me is that we displayed so much

so quickly."The scores were across-the-board

excellent, especially since most of the rou­tines had to be watered down because of the

new rules."Our depth gave us an edge," continued

Chapman, "and we seemed to have the best grasp of the changes.

"I was surprised at the continuity and consistency of the judging. The officials took more time to make sure they had it right (again the new rules), and the scores matched what I was watching."

BOYS SWIM & DIVEJunior Tom Avila placed first in the 1 (X)-

vard butterfly and 100 breaststroke, while junior sprint freestyler Chris Mullen cap­tured the 50 and 100 free to power the Andover High swimmers past Central Catholic, 95-82. in a Merrimack Valley Conference dual meet at the Lowell High pool.

The victory boosted AHS to 2-0 heading into a showdown next Tuesday against multi-time MVC and reigning state champ Chelmsford in the home opener at the Greater Lawrence Vo-Tech pool (3:30

p.m.).

Andover 95Central Catholic 82

Avila swam the 1(X) fly in 1:11.25 and the 100 breast in 1:17.77, while Mullen clocked 25.03 in the 50 free and 56.02 in the 100 free.

Mullen also competed on two victorious relays, joining freshman Oliver Scarbor­ough. Jon Meltz and Ben Carter on the 200 free squad 11:44.43) and Rob Medaglio. Joe Reynolds and Zac Broomfield on the 400 free crew.

Other individual winners for the Golden Warriors were Capt. Nick Saunders (200 free. 2:01.09). Meltz (200 IM. 2:15.53) and Reynolds (100 backstroke, 1:07.31).
