JO Looking to lower home taxesTax abatement eyed by 24 already, with 200 requests expectedBy Judy Wakefield

Following skyrocketing home assessments, Andover's average sin- gle-family homeowners have received their largest tax bills of this fiscal year or any other. In an effort to lower their tax bills, many home- owners now are expected to ques­tion the value of their homes.

In a typical reassessment year, about 200 homeowners question

their assessment, asking for a tax abatement that will lower the amount of tax they pay. Home- owners can argue that the town has made a mistake by comparing their home to similar homes. Twenty-four homeowners already have done so, although

Pipe dreamsRogers Brook area to have sewer when weather warms

Snowjobs

By Laura SelimaWith all the recent snow, it's easy to forget that

Andover roads have been scarred from the aggres­sive digging of workers laying sewer pipe. How­ever, between storms, crews are continuing to dig the $34 million sewer expansion that will bring sewer to hundreds of residents.

While the Ballardvale and Cross Street areas are already online, the Rogers Brook area is antic­ipated to be online in the late spnng/early summer of this year after pumps have been installed. Con­struction is set to begin Feb. 1 in areas including South Main Street, Arcadia Street, Sunset Rock

Road, and CharlotteDrive. Crews will have to dig anywhere from eight to 25 feet deep to connect sewer pipes to provide enough slope so sewage can pass freely.

Resident property has also been used to extend sewer lines. Currently, 70 to 80 property easements have been performed

out of the approximately 200 the town expects will be needed, says Department of Public Works Director Jack Petkus.

Residents should expect their betterment pay­ments to begin this year if they will be able to con­nect to town sewer within the year. Residents have the option of paying in full or paying in install­ments within a 20-year period. Once residents start using the sewers, they have to pay a sewer fee, as well as the betterment. The sewer fee is based on the consumption of water, so the more water used, the higher the bill.

The cost of the sewer expansion is paid this way, according to Petkus: two-thirds will be paid by those hooking into the sewer, and one-third will be paid by those already on town sewer.

Petkus says taxpayers do not pay for the expan­sion. “This only makes it fair because not all resi­dents will have access to the sewers. For example, those living on the other side of Route 125 will rely on their own septic tanks,” he says.

David Flanagan. 12 West Knoll Road, clears snow from his driveway last Saturday, after another storm dumped about a foot of snow in Andover.

Despite all the storms this winter, Andover seems to he spending less on snow removal than it has in recent years

By Ben HeilmanDespite all the snow that's been

dumped on Andover this year, the town has spent only $188,157 to date on contractors to get rid of the white stuff.

The snow-contractor cost last winter - a light snow year - was $322,506. That figure doesn't include related town snow-removal costs, salt, sand or overtime for town employees.

Town officials are expected to keep a close eye on the amount of money spent on snow removal dur­ing this tight budgetary year. Both the Strategic Planning Task Force and the Finance Committee expect reports on these costs this month.

It's part of a general effort to save money where possible, given the known town budgetary short­

falls. (The town received more bad news this week when the state reported it might not fund its share

Paying the cost

Andover spent more than $1.1 million on the 2000-2001 winter's snow removal. Last winter, by mid-February though there had been only 19 inches of snow, the town had spent about $600,000, said DPW Director Jack Petkus at the time. Though this winter’s costs are incomplete, here 's what the town has spent on contractors so far:

of special-education costs.)“Everybody's very conscious of

cost," says Joanne Marden, Finance Committee chairwoman. "What the manager's asking all of his depart­ment heads to do is to do more with less. That's alway s on their mind."

Water plant, budget, senior center fill thin ’03 warrant

Residents at Town Meeting this year

may decide if construction money should be given to create an improved water treatment plant.

By Judy WakefieldExcept for the budget, money to build

an improved water-treatment plant and to plan an expanded senior center are expect­ed to be the key warrant articles at this year's Town Meeting, barring a surprise high-profile article submitted during the next two weeks. Selectmen are expected to discuss the plant and center next week.

The town warrant, which opened last Nov. 4. closes in two weeks on Friday, Jan. 24 at 4:30 p.m. Residents can submit pri­vate articles to be voted on by their fellow residents at Town Meeting, set for the last week in April and the first week of May, if needed. As of Townsman press time this week, no residents had submitted any pri­vate articles, said Town Clerk Randy Han­son. Town Meeting takes up the warrant on April 28 and 29 at 7 p.m. at the Collins Center. It will convene again on May 5 and 6, if necessary.

More homes connecting this year■ SEWER COMINGContinued from page I

Although the construction can be an inconvenience, Petkus commented that many Andover residents have been complemen­tary about the construction workers.

Salem Street resident Nancy Morehardt was deeply touched by the workers' efforts to make her feel at ease when her hus­band unexpectedly died at their residence one evening last May.

"They were like big brothers to me," she said. "They found out my husband had died the night before because the same police officer that responded to my 911 call was also directing traffic on my street in the midst of the sewer construction last spring. They told me 'Anytime we can help, you let us know.' They were so courteous, so kind. I really felt cared for. They were lovely men."

Road repairs

Roads that were tom up and then patched prior to the winter season will be repaved in the spring. The roads are not imme­diately repaved because there tends to be residual settlement during the winter season, says Petkus. Therefore, it is best to wait till the patched roads have been “wintered-over" for one complete winter season, he says.

Sewer contractor uses town seal, letter in ad, draws DPW’s ireBy Ben Heilman

Andover is refusing to grant a license to a sewer-connection contractor that used Andover's letterhead and the public works director’s name to advertise its services, pending an investiga­tion by the attorney general’s office.

Jack Petkus, public works director, said that if no action is taken by the state against Boston-based company Scott and Scott Sewer Connection Service, it will be given a license, but Petkus will give a bad recommendation about the contractor to residents who call his office.

John Scott, of Scott and Scott, admits he took a letter to residents that was written by Petkus and reprinted it, adding his name and phone number at the top of a list of Andover offi­cials. Scott said he then put these letters in the newspaper boxes of 40 Andover residents on New Year's Day and Thurs­day of last week, along with a flier advertising his company.

In Scott’s reproduction, the DPW’s street address and Andover's zip code were incor­rect. Five other town officials names were added to the form - topped by Scott's name and number. Otherwise, the letter is a close match to Petkus’ origi­nal, and includes the Andover town seal. The reproduced letter includes Petkus’ signature,

which looks as if it was dark­ened with a magic marker. Petkus had harsh words, going so far as to say “That’s forgery. If that’s the way they look for business, (then I don’t support them)."

Scott also included in his detailed repro­duction a small notice from Petkus’ letter that it was print­ed on 100-per- cent recycled paper.

Scott said he didn’t believe there was any­thing wrong with using the town letter. He said he’s done the same thing in Acton and other towns and never had any problem. He also said that he’s tried to apologize to Petkus numerous times. “I was just try­ing to drum up work. I wasn’t trying to hurt anybody,” he said.

“I just don’t buy it,” said Petkus. “He said it was an acci­dent. 1 don't know how you can accidentally change a letter­head.”

Petkus said residents should be aware of the letters, as Scott is not licensed to do sewer work in the town and couldn’t do the job if he was contracted.

Scott’s partner, Scott Ferullo passed the test for receiving a drain layer’s license and was up to receive the license on Mon­

day night, before Everett Pen­ney, Andover health director, heard about Ferullo’s partner's actions. Penney said that health directors from Everett and Acton, and a private company.

gave Ferullo good references. But Scott’s actions have thrown a wrench into the works, with Penney delaying the drain layer’s license to work in town.

“I’ve taken them off the agenda based on advice from town counsel,” said Penney. Penney said this deci­sion will put Scott and Scott’s license on hold until February, barring action from the attorney general's office.

Petkus lodged a complaint to a consumer protection agency in the attorney general's office against Scott and Scott Sewer Connection Service, after receiving complaints from three Cross Street residents last week about letters in their mailboxes.

If there isn’t further action from the attorney general’s office, Scott and Scott could work Andover.

All residents who wish to tie into sewer must contract a pri­vate company to do the work. Petkus says that residents inter­ested in tying into sewer should call his office to learn that potential contractors are licensed.

Guidelines for hiring a contractor

[ (Recommended by Jack \ Petkus, public works director)

• Get together with neigh­bors. Residents have the

j opportunity to get a volume

discount. And. with more than one pair of eyes and ears, they are more likely to weed out any fraudulent con-

i tractor.

• Get more than one esti­mate and be sure that it is a written estimate so all of the details can be rev iewed.

• Get a breakdown of the : cost of the sen ices. See what

buyers are actually getting j for their money. Also, find

out how the contractorexpects to get paid.

• Ask for references and be sure to call some of them.

Town spending less on snow? Some owners eye tax abatementf

■ SNOW JOBSContinued from page I

budgeted for all snow-removal costs this year

Last year, though there had been only 19 inches of snow by mid-February, the town had spent about $600,000 on snow removal, said DPW Director Jack Petkus at the time. Depart­ment of Public Works business manager Dennis Sheehan says that about $250,000 was returned to the town's general fund last year because it wasn't used. The previous winter, the town went over its $1.1 million budget on snow removal, thanks to an early March storm.

This winterSheehan says that more bills

will come in from this Decem­ber from Andover's more than 60 snow contractors. But. even with them. DPW director Jack Petkus says it's been an easy winter for plowing.

owner paid $4,987 annually in taxes. Now, the average single- family house in Andover is assessed at $470,000. Though the current tax rate of $11.63, approved by selectmen last month, may be lower, the home's assessment pushed up the average annual tax bill by $480 to $5,466. That's a 9.6 percent increase.

Plus, this quarter’s tax bill will be the largest of the year.

Symmes explained that the first two quarterly tax bills for fiscal year 2003, which home- owners paid in July and Octo­ber. 2002, were “estimated bills.” Those tax bills were based on the previous year's tax rate.

Now. Symmes said, “It's catch-up time.”

He said the third quarterly bill is the highest of the four quarterly tax bills because the new tax rate is used to calcu­late the bill for the first time. Any under-payments from last July and October also must be paid with the current tax bill, which was issued on Jan. 1 and is due by Feb. 3.

Appealing assessmentsHomeowners who believe

the town has valued their house too highly can appeal to the assessor's office. Symmes said it was very early in the abate­ment process as homeowners can file an abatement until the Feb. 3 tax bill deadline. Abate­ments are ty pically filed closer to the tax bill deadline, Symmes said. He expects about 200 abatements to be filed by then, which is a typical amount in a revaluation year.

But, these homeowners will not know for three months about an abatement decision. The Board of Assessors has three months from the date of an appeal to make a decision. The Board looks at other properties in the neighborhood and reviews

Exempted from taxesAndover offers programs to shave tax bill for some seniors, residents

Andover taxpayers over age 70 who meet certain income criteria have the right to file for a tax exemption through the assessor's office. Such an exemption would reduce an Andover tax bill by a maximum of $1,000 a year.

So far, about 12 seniors have applied for an exemp­tion through the assessor's office. Assessor Bruce Symmes expects more as the deadline for filing is Feb. 3.

In addition, Andover offers seniors the Senior Tax Voucher Program through the senior center. It’s another way to shave off money from a senior's tax bill. Andover was one of the first towns in the state to set up the pro­gram, according to Kathy Urquhart, assistant director at the center.

It was about eight years ago, she said, when Andover launched the program that matches local seniors with a wide variety of volunteer jobs. Hundreds of Andover seniors have taken part over the years. Currently, about 150 have applied to take part in the program this year,

Urquhart said. Seniors can save up to $500 annually on their tax bills, in exchange for working 100 hours.

“Seniors are on a fixed income, and I think the pro­gram is fantastic,” Urquhart said. “It says Andover values seniors and believes they have a lot to offer.”

Seniors do work such as mentoring in schools, serv­ing lunches at the senior cen­ter, staffing the local compost site, producing a local cable television show called “There’s Something About Andover,” and providing rides to doctor appointments for seniors who need it.

“It’s an amazing range of programs,” Urquhart said, adding that Andover has about 5,300 folks over age 60.

Seniors taking part in these two tax programs must meet a list of criteria to qual­ify. For more information, seniors can contact the asses­sor’s office at 978-623-8264, or the senior center.

Other exemptions are available for veterans and the blind.

comparable sales and assess­ments to determine if an abate­ment will be granted.

Most abatements are granted on the basis of corrected or new information about a house sub­mitted to the Board of Asses­sors. Examples of past abate­ments granted show that home- owners corrected the town about the number of bathrooms in the home, the size of the home, its age, or discussed location fac­

tors. A tax-bill increase is not a valid appeal basis. Property value is the basis of an abate­ment.

Symmes said his office will he open late on the tax-bill deadline day. Monday. Feb. 3. His office will be open until 7 p.m., as will the tax collector’s office.

School, selectmen address expanded senior center

PHOTO BY TIM JEAN

Gus Lohrey shares a laugh with two friends who did not want to give their names at the senior center on Tuesday.

By Ben HeilmanThe School Committee has

cautiously welcomed a plan to expand the Andover Senior Cen­ter where it is. The Senior Center Task Force has investigated 15 possible locations for a new senior center, but wants the cen­ter to remain where it is.

Selectman Man Lyman and Don Robb, representing the task force, soothed nerves Tuesday with repeated assurances that they are only looking at the ground floor of the senior center building off Whittier Court, and aren't considering the second and third floors presently occu­pied by school offices.

"The second and third floors are not up for grabs, said Robb They offered a similar assurance about plans to usurp held space for parking.

Robb said that parking will need to be reconfigured, but tak­ing over held space wasn't on the table. At Monday's select­men's meeting there had been discussion of using the elevated playing field to the south of Doherty Middle School for park­

ing if space for a new field could be found elsewhere.

School chairwoman Tina Girdwood suggested the task force ook at the building s base­ment and offered the adjoining Memorial Auditorium when it wasn t being used by students.

The task force presented its recommendation to selectmen on Monday. Brian Major and John Hess both discussed creat­ing a community center. But when presented with seniors' support for the existing location rather than the West Andover site where a youth center will be built. Lyman said that the task force's recommendation seemed to carry more weight.

"Where do you put a commu­nity center w'hen seniors want to be downtown asked Lyman.

The next step will be a select­men vote on whether to approve the recommendation. Lyman said that if selectmen approve the recommendation, the town will draft a warrant article. The article would request S29<).(XX) at Town Meeting to pay the cost for design plans.

Senior center proponents:

Weather, cuts exacerbate senior space issueGuaranteed Lowest Prices...Always!

Dreams do tome trueBy Andrew Ravens

Not so long ago, Mary Margerison and Mildred Grosser could always count on finding a parking space and a seat in the cafeteria at the Andover Senior Cen­ter. Not so anymore, they say.

"We love coming to the center, but the walk from the far parking lot is long and cold." said Margerison. who finds that the few close parking spaces are always taken. "The people here are won­derful. but they need more space."

Margerison and Grosser are among the seniors looking forward to this Town Meeting, when they expect that resi­dents will be asked to spend $290.(XX) to design a senior-center expansion.

"The senior-center issue is not just about money for a new building." said Andover Council on Aging Chair­woman Marlies Zammuto, who spear­heads the movement for a larger senior facility. “The issue is about having enough space to make programs avail­able to support senior citizens.

"The senior population is growing and we are not ready," she said.

This year, state budget cuts to elder services and the cold weather have exac­

erbated the situation, according to Kathy Urquhart, the Andover Senior Center assistant director.

She says three services - transporta­tion, the in-house lunch program and Meals on Wheels - have been affected by the cold weather or budget cuts.

Last July 1, the Merrimack Valley Regional Transit Authority raised the one-way "EZ Trans" bus fee from $1 to $3. Most Andover seniors live on a fixed income and cannot afford the increase, said Urquhart. Some were forced to stay home, putting a strain on the already taxed Meals on Wheels program.

"It's a vicious cycle." said Zammuto. "The elderly generally stop driv ing and they find it hard to get to the center. If they cannot get there, they lose out on the lunch and nutrition program. This obviously raises health concerns."

The popular lunch program is feder­ally funded, but still relies on a $2 dona­tion per meal. According to Urquhart, after July 1. some seniors were forced to forego the donation to afford the bus fair.

Some had to stop coming completely."The ones who stop coming really

suffer," said Urquhart. "Without the

nutrition program, they are not well nourished - that and the weather weaken the immune system and lead to illness."

Space problems are also putting a strain on programs the center prov ides.

Recently, the center had to move its popular exercise program to Old Town Hall. This decision came with a steep price as the center had to split the class into two and pay the instructor twice instead of once. Other programs, like the spirituality class and men's bridge, are now only offered once a week.

“It's a juggling act," said Urquhart. “We try to do enough for everyone, but we lack the space. The biggest problem with the budget cuts is that we cannot offer our programs as often as we would like to."

Zammuto stresses that programs are still available in Andover and can be of tremendous help to senior citizens dur­ing this difficult winter.

"This is pretty severe weather we are having and it does not look like it is going to let up," she said. "We say to all seniors. Please reach out to us if you need help. Call the senior center and we can make a home visit.""

ADVISORY PROGRAM AT AHS

Helping teens feel connected at schoolBy Ben Heilman

eachers and administra­tors are trying to make Andover High feel like a

smaller, friendlier place.To that end. AHS is piloting a

new advisory program to ensure that every student in the building has regular access to an adult who knows him or her well.

Starting in early February, students will meet twice a week with a classroom teacher in groups of 15.

The sessions will last 25 min­utes and will combine students from four grades.

' Adolescence is a tough time. It’s easy to opt to become invisi­ble.” said Principal Peter Ander­son.

He said that the “advisories” will form a safety net for stu­dents that could avert a Columbine-type incident, and also allow students to discuss more mundane AHS issues with

one another.Anderson said that the pro­

gram has its roots in an initiative two years old that seeks to give Andover High the feel of a smaller school. Teachers sup­ported the initiative by a two- thirds vote. Anderson says it shows a commitment that isn't

seen in other schools. "Our first job is to teach kids, our second job is to teach subject matter,” said Anderson.

“As a teacher. I'm anxious to give it a try,” said Tom Meyers, social studies teacher and the Andover teachers union repre­sentative. "The more that you

can relate to students, the more they feel part of the school.”

Teachers had an in-service day to prepare and have had training sessions.

Anderson said that the pro­gram will be evaluated in June when it could be altered, scrapped or continued as it is.

On Wednesday, Jan. 15. Andover SEPAC and Parent to Parent will pre­sent: Brain Gym. facilitated by Bon­nie Hershey, M.Ed.

abilities. These movements have been shown over the years of clinical experience, in field studies and in published research reports, to pre­pare children with the physical skills they need to maximize their abilities to leant and function effectively in the classroom.

This event is free and open to the public and will be held in the West Middle School Auditorium, at 7:30 p.m.

CERTIFICATION REVIEW PANEL

Recommending potential teachersBy Ben Heilman

ormer Andover Superintendent Dick Neal recommends, to the state, professionals who didn't necessarily go to school to teach but who want to

become teachers.Neal sits on the Certification

Review Panel, which interviews people from other walks of life, who

I want to become teachers and think

they have the qualifications.The panel began to encourage

J talented people in other fields to

1 become teachers in the late 1980s because there was a shortage of teachers. "I really think it serves a

| purpose,” said Neal. He said there is no reason why someone with experi-

. ence should have to return to school to take more courses. “For the most part they've done probably a lot more than they would have done otherwise," said Neal.

By the time candidates are inter­viewed by Neal’s panel they have already gone through a screening process and written a 15- to 20-pageexplanation of why they believe they've met the requirements. They also need references and college transcripts. "It's not a back door." said Neal. He said that someone coming from another field will often be paired with a mentor teacher.

The review process has been in place since 1987 and Neal has been on the board for 15 years. The panel is strictly volunteer and Neal spends one day every month doing it. He finds it gratifying. "We've gotten a lot out of the profession. We owe it to the field." said Neal.

Neal said that candidates come from a variety of backgrounds and that another rewarding aspect of sitting on the board is getting to meet many interesting people.

The panel also reviews people who have taught in private schools or teachers who are seeking further certification for teaching, or who wish to become administrators.

After reviewing a candidate, the panel can recommend that the state reject or approve the person, or waive requirements that the person take certain courses. The board only makes recommendations. The candidates have to be certified by the state education commissioner, although Neal says he hasn't seen a recommendation turned down.

After the panel recommends a candidate, members don't generally know whether that person actually pursues a job in education, or if he or she actually gets one, says Neal.

8 THE TOWNSMAN, JANUARY 9, 2003

Tax breaks available to savvy seniors

Housing prices in Andover continue to go

through the roof. This is not news.

But with town taxes shooting ever higher in a

tough economic time, even more seniors this year

might he tempted to sell these golden homes and

move elsewhere. However, seniors who want to

remain in town should know that there remain a

number of ways for them to get tax breaks.

Anyone can file for a tax abatement with the town

assessor and argue that their house is overvalued.

Seniors could compare their homes to other homes to

do so. either comparing their homes to ones with

lower valuations, or showing why their homes are

less posh than ones similarly valued.

Seniors can also apply to join the Senior Voucher

Program. Seniors in this program donate 1 00 hours

of their time to town projects in exchange for a $500

tax credit. It helps the town get more accomplished

for less. Information is available at the senior center.

Finally, many seniors can benefit from the state's

circuit breaker tax credit, a state tax break triggered

when property tax payments exceed 10 percent of a

senior's annual income. Seniors must fill out a 2002

tax return to claim the credit, worth up to $790.

Recently, when a group of residents were asked

about what they want Andover to be 20 to 30 years

from now, they said they wanted it to keep its variety

of people and homes. They feared Andover would

become a homogenous town filled with mansions.

Andover's seniors are people from a variety of dif­

ferent economic backgrounds, life experiences and

world views. Keeping seniors here, in their homes of

all sizes, is of benefit to everyone. Even those selfish

few among us who do not care about keeping people

in their life-long homes can see that seniors rarely add

children to the schools, one of the main drivers of

taxes. More deserving seniors should benefit from tax

breaks available to them.

Web question

Is the night life all right or all wet?

Last week's TownsmanWeb-site question was:

To what do you attribute Andover’s lowering cancer rates?

Of the 29 people who responded:

• 6, or 21 percent, said "Greater public awareness to risk factors, such as smok­ing.”

• 2, or 7 percent, said "The town-wide smoking ban."

• 7, or 24 percent, said "The clean up of polluted industrial areas like Reich- hold.”

• 12. or 41 percent, said "Normal fluctuations in such statistics with time.”

• 2, or 7 percent, said "Other.”

This week's Web questionis: How do you feel

about Andover's night life?

• What night life? The pickings are slim so I go to Boston or elsewhere to unwind and have fun.

• There are a few great restaurants, bars and pubs in Andover, but there’s not much else to do.

• My favorite places to go are in town. 1 never have to cross the border to have a great time.

• I wish there were more nighttime alternatives.

• Other.

L ETT E R S

There’s no avoiding tax manEditor, Townsman:Dear town of Andover:

You recently mailed to us a pamphlet entitled "Real Estate Assessments and Taxes - Understanding the Process.” Instead of using my tax money for this purpose, please reduce my taxes by the costs of the printing and mailing. If a real need for this information arose, I would be pleased to read it on the town Web site, either from home or from our fine public library.

Really, the tax process is more simple than the pamphlet suggests. Each year, taxes are raised as much as possible - with pleas for more via over­rides - to address the ever-grow­ing list of "needs” and demands from various special interest groups. Residents’ only real options are paying or moving out of town. Even arguing against a particular expenditure requires sitting through a gruel­ing, multiple-day, driveling town meeting; and. even if able and willing to do that, one is most often drowned out by one of the many groups who come en masse for a special need.

Correcting ‘Past’ transgressionsEditor, Townsman:

I have been enjoying the “Past and Present" pictures that you have been including in the Andover Townsman on page 3 each week. Being a native Andoverite and a historian of the area, they have been quite meaningful to me. I must com­ment, however, that I believe whoever researches these missed the mark on Dec. 26.

Carl Elander’s and later Carl Elander & Stan Swanton was always located on the opposite side of the street - where the Royal Jewelers is now located. They were next door to Pop Wil­son’s News Store and to the Andover Book Store when they were on the corner. The main predecessor to the building now occupied by Kaps was Lawrence Gas and Electric. I remember entering their "Reddy Kilowatt" contest back in the 1940s.

Guest column

My sister, the swanWhen I was a child, the

family lived in Shawsheen Village. My sister and I played together, but Alva, four years younger than I, was also a tomboy, and joined the neighborhood boys in loud and boisterous games of kick-the-can, hide-and-seek, squash, and other games. She was a chubby little girl and that was a great trial to her. She was not really fat, but she “felt fat.” She was a target for teasing by a few of the

meaner boys. Since she was so sensitive, it did not roll off her back as it would have with a more phlegmatic personality, but made her life a tor­ment for a number of years.

As she went to school and took piano lessons, it became clear that she had multiple talents. She had a fine clear soprano voice; she learned to play the piano very well and, unlike me. didn’t mind practicing. She could act convincingly, and had stage presence. She soon became featured in some of Miss Sweeney's productions at Shaw­sheen School. After she graduated from sixth grade, she went to Abbot Academy, where she got additional training in voice and piano and turned out to be a proficient performer who was not afraid to be on stage - the prospect of which terrified me. I took part in performances from time to time, and appeared before an audience, but I was never comfortable on stage, and it showed. It was clear I would never be an actress.

We were sent away to Camp Waukela in New Hampshire each summer, where we learned to swim well, ride horseback, use a bow and arrow

for target practice. We also took hikes and canoe trips, and learned the different ty pes of trees, ferns and other woodland plants. It was a beautiful area of the White Mountains. We took part in musical productions on a somewhat higher plane than those devised by our elementary' music teacher. Miss Sweeney. We sang choral music in three parts. For Parents’ Day. we put on a simplified version of a Gilbert and Sullivan operetta in which Alva took on one of the solo parts to great acclaim. (1 think I was in the chorus.)

As a senior in high school, I would have enjoyed returning to camp. However, I had cho­sen a liberal arts college, which ensured that I would graduate with no marketable skills. My parents thought I at least needed to know typing and shorthand so that I would be employable in some capacity, and off the family dole. That sum­mer I attended Katie Gibbs Secretarial School in Lawrence.

Alva, now 14, continued to go to camp in New Hampshire. She was gone for three months. When she came home, she was a different person. The baby fat had disappeared. She was slim, with long legs and a shape; she had long, shiny blonde hair. She was knock-em-dead gorgeous! And she still had all that talent! What do you know? My pesky little sister who had felt like an ugly duck­ling had turned into a swan!

Suddenly the boys who had teased her sat up and took notice! They buzzed around like bees around honeysuckle. They came to the house by twos and threes. She knew just how to flirt and vamp. I was retained as a sort of duenna to see that no hanky-panky ensued. I was an “older woman," so they didn't pay much attention to me except that occasionally one of the boys would say, “Where have you been all my life?” or make

Area was without power for longer than reportedEditor, Townsman:

1 write in the interest of sim­ple justice. In the interest of the many on Highland Road and Marie Drive and Kathleen Drive who are part of your story, "Trees cut off downtown power" (Townsman. Jan. 2, page 3).

Highland Road and Marie Drive and Kathleen Drive were without power for more than 24 hours, not the mere 13 hours reported. During those extra 11

hours, you would he surprised how much colder an already frigid house can get.

Despite the information reported in a photo caption, Highland Avenue and Heather Drive do not intersect. Highland Road and Heather Drive do. Being q most venerable highway and byway, so old even town officials do no know its birthday, Highland Road moans, aghast at this callous error to a road once

the prime way to the Salem, Peabody and Lynn areas.

Kudos and thanks to the Massachusetts Electric Compa­ny. Not only for the repair of downed lines, but also for keep­ing us wann (or cool) and lit up so many other hours of each year. Periodic power loss is good for us: reminds us of the blessings of electricity.

From tomboy to 'Showboat' sister's spirit sailed■ COLUMNContinued from page H

some other inane remark. On me they were just practicing; she was the main attraction.

She was cast as the lead in several Gilbert and Sullivan operettas; HMS Pinafore, The Mikado, and Pirates of Pen­zance, given at Philips Academy - and a new crop of suitors appeared. Nothing serious ever came of any of these connections *- except that there was one lad of whom she was fond. Then came the war - and all the beau­tiful youths disappeared into the service, many never to be seen

again.She chose not to go to col­

lege, but instead went to New York to try her hand at show biz. She did indeed get a number of parts in Broadway shows, including the part of understudy for Mary Martin, in One Touch of Venus. But alas. Mary was never indisposed.

Alva soon became disen­chanted with stage life. In words from one of Jerome Kern's songs in Showboat. “Life upon the wicked stage ain't nothin' like a girl supposes!" After being pinched once too often by a lech­erous leading man. she retired

from the stage, having mean­while met a handsome Navy Lieutenant. He soon proposed, and my parents heaved a sigh of relief when she left New' York for a conventional life in the sub­urbs. They really had no idea what to do with her. or how to guide her talents, being totally conventional people. Her mar­riage produced three children, all musically talented and hand­some.

She now lives in Northern California, after leading an adventurous life, including living in South Africa for several y ears. Now married to her fourth hus­

band. she still plays and sings, makes tapes, writes and illus­trates children's books, works on the computer and has a big gar­den. You can't keep the creative spirit down!

All Those Years Ago50 Years Ago - 1953 station for scrap metal and old

The School Committee at its registration plates. Anyone has - regular meeting Tuesday night ing scrap metal that is too heavy adopted the 1953 budget of to bring to the bin may call the$503,090, which is $387 less fire station and it will be pickedthan the sum considered at the previous meeting. The 1952 budget was $426,356 plus $4535 which was transferred from the reserve fund late in December in order to allow the department to complete its year; the extra amount being made necessary by additional expens- es due to the unforeseen increase in the school enroll­ment last September.

The Andover committee in charge of the 1953 Infantile Paralysis drive is having a bin erected outside the central fire

up. The committee will also stage a rag and paper drive here on Sunday. Jan. 25.

The first meeting of the Finance Forum for Women, sponsored by the November club and open to all Andover women, will be held at 10 a.m. Tuesday at the clubhouse at 6 Locke St.

A group of young Andover people sponsored a Christmas dance at the Andover Country Club the night of Saturday. Dec. 27. It was decided to donate the proceeds to the Andover Youth

Center, and as a result a check for $50 was presented to an offi­cer of the organization last week.

25 Years Ago - 1978A major addition planned for

the Sheraton Rolling Green Motor Inn will result in 96 addi­tional rooms bordering an enclosed, landscaped courtyard.

While the School Committee has been pondering what to do about a general decline in ele­mentary school enrollments, the PTO at West Elementary has written that their building is overpopulated, overcrowded by “intolerable limits,” which affects the quality of their youngsters’ educations.

10 Y ears Ago - 1993

Police and fire dispatcher Audrey Denis, whose foot was crushed in a freak accident in August when her car rolled over the retaining wall behind the police station, returned to work Monday night. Ms. Denis has no restrictions as far as her work is concerned, and said she is feel­ing and walking "pretty good."

Town officials at Town Meet­ing in tlj£ spring may try to anientfthe town’s bylaws to reg­ulate political signs on private property, but the proposed changes would have little or no effect on current practices, according to Thomas Urbelis, town counsel.

TownspeopleTOWN TALK

While the snow flies’Tis the season for skiing and snowboarding, and more

than 200 Andover kids are enjoying those sports this week because of the town’s ski program in Bradford.

Department of Community Services runs the program and reports 233 kids in grades 3 to 8 are taking part this year. That breaks down to 101 kids from the three middle schools and 126 kids from five elementary schools. In addi­tion, six special needs students from Bancroft School also take part. The program runs after school on Tuesdays and Thursdays for six weeks. Andover supplies the buses that take students to and from Bradford, which is located in Haverhill. The kids either bring their own gear or rent it.

This was the first week of the program and this year’s snowy winter made for terrific conditions, said DCS recre­ation director Kim Stamas.

That's a far cry from last year when lack of snow made the program less attractive.

Andover has been offering the program, which costs about $300 per child, for the past 22 years.

No fish taleFinishing touches and a Monday health inspection means

that Hometown Seafoods will finally make the big move from Barnard Street to Chestnut Street. Owners Gene and Deborah Marshall of the downtown fish market expect to close early on Sunday and reopen at 9:30 a.m. on Wednes­day at the new location. There will be a fish fry' next Friday.

The Marshalls originally planned to open in November, but said that the inspection process and other setbacks slowed the renovation process.

Hometown Seafoods is moving into the former Earth- food Store space and will boast parking and a sit-down eat­ing area. The larger space will allow more varieties of fish as well as a 2,000-pound capacity lobster pool.

Astronomy.com chose this November full moon shot as its picture of the day Dec. 30.

Shooting

the MoonClark sees persistence pay offBy Ben Heilman

Mfrrili Clark brisgs new meaning to the term 'shooting the moon.'

Clark estimates that he's taken 400 to 500 pictures of the moon since he bought his first telescope in September 2000. Last week: a breakthrough. Astronomy.com. the online site of the magazine Astron­omy, chose Clark's shot of Novem­ber's full moon as its picture of the day.

Clark didn't find out that his picture was chosen until 11 that

night when he checked his e-mail and found e-mails congratulating him. “I was very surprised. It seemed all my hard work had finally paid off. All those cold nights, rolls of film being dropped off at Andover Photo in the middle of the night It was really valida­tion for me that I was on the right track when it came to imaging the moon," says Clark.

Clark is an amateur astronomer, but he admits to doing things in a big way. When his wife. Kimberly, suggested he take up a hobby, he

decided to fulfill a lifelong urge and take up astronomy . Then he did something he now advises other peoplenot to do. He bought a tele­scope for thou­sands of dol­lars.

Clark's Meade LX200 12-inch tele­scope is com­puterized and has global positioning technology . "I bought too much technol­ogy It can dis­

courage you."he says. For a beginning astronomer Clark suggests a Dobson telescope, which is a tube with mirrors and a lens

But Clark didn't slow down after buying his telescope Two months later, in fact, he launched the Web site www andovernights.com to share the photographs he takes and his

progress as an astrophotographer. There are examples of his work on the site from his three years of taking shots, and he say s there is a clear progression

"For the first couple of months I had horrible results." he says Clark says he wants people inter­ested in astronomy or astropho- tography to see that you don't just take magazine-quality work right away.

But Clark says that the real fun he has w ith his hobby is sharing it with others, “having people take a pause from their lives (to look through my telescope)."

just about everyone is curious about a guy with a telescope in a parking lot. say s Clark. "No one

ever knew how active it can be in Andover at 2 a.m. People would just show up and not leave." he says.

On the first night a police cruiser pulled up and a big cop got out and asked him what he was doing When Clark explained he

was just looking at the sky. he says the officer completely dropped his tough demeanor and wanted to look through the tele­scope. "This big burly guy. he says. My wife won t let me have one of these.'"

Ii wasn't long before three other cruisers filled the parking lot. "These big guys with guns were looking through my tele­scope. he says

Another night a couple pulled into the parking lot and it wasn't long before the windows steamed up Rut then Clark saw a person w ipe a circle in his w indow and a man got out of the car. leav ing his girlfriend behind, to look through the telescope.

"His girlfriend is just sitting in the car, mad." says Clark.

panoramic tour www.mhl.org/tour/. You can find the location of a book, videotape, or music CD before you come to the library. A virtual tour brings that boring map of the library to life.

One of the features of our homepage is the Internet Picks which are recommended sites under subject headings. We have just added new subjects headings of Biography, Child Care, Computers & Technology, and Time & Money. Under Comput­ers & Technology you’ll find some g<xsd sites recommended by Dean Baumeister for every thing from price comparisons for computer hardware to definitions of technology terms. Time & Money has Currency Converter to find foreign exchange rates and World Clock to quickly check the time difference throughout the world. Some of the topics that are difficult to find reliable sites with a search engine are Health and Law.

The Internet Picks are a good place to start when needing information on an illness or a state or federal law. Don't hesitate

to ask if you have questions.Recently, the National Book Foundation interviewed 15 influ­

ential American authors about books that had special meaning to them. Authors such as Andres Dubus 111. Joyce Carol Oates, and Lois Lowry spoke about the books that influenced them as writ­ers. readers, and thinkers. These interviews were collected in a 2002 publication titled The Rook Thai Changed My Life.

Inspired, we at Memorial Hall Library' decided to try' a similar project. We asked our staff to share their thoughts on books that have meant something in their lives. The choices were varied: historical novels, philosophical discourses. Young Adult stories, and more. We have collected these titles, along with a few words on what made them so special, in a display on the library s main floor. You can also see them on our Web page at www.mhl.org/rr/RecommendedReads/btcml/dcfault.asp.

We invite you to share the books that have been special in your lives. Submit a title at the online address above, or fill one ot the forms at the display site the next time you visit the library. We'd love to add your selections to our list.

tion on Andover Bus 21 every day, instead of the current week­day-only service, are invited to a meeting Tuesday, Jan. 14, at 10 a.m. at the Andover Senior Center. Whittier Court.

According to organizers, “In the event of a long weekend, from Friday to Monday or Tuesday, people can find themselves out of funds, out of medicine, and out of food. Why can we not have the same service as our next-door neighbors in the city of Lawrence? ...We invite you, your friends, and your family to join us for a meeting on this subject.’’

THE TOWNSMAN, JANUARY 9, 2003

AHS ROUNDUP

Girls varsity teams are on a rollBy Rick Harrison

Capt. Sheri Bernstein and sopho­more Libby Fortier were all-around standouts as the Andover High girls gymnastics team launched its 2003 sea­son by winning the second annual five- team Gloucester Invitational held recently at Gloucester High.

The non-league meet got the Lady Warriors, multi-time defending Mem- mack Valley Conference champions and Massachusetts State runners-up last w inter, off to a rousing start.

AHS piled up 136.25 points to beat second-place Beverly. which finished third in the state last year, by more than a point as the Panthers registered a 135.15.

Rounding out the participating teams were Bishop Fenwick of Peabody. W'bum and host Gloucester.

"We were invited but shied away from this meet last year." said coach Julie Chapman. "I felt it was too early.

"We gave it a shot this time around and the girls surprised themselves. We were more ready than we thought.

"The new kids were a little appre­hensive about competing in a high school meet for the first time. But it was a lot of fun. I'm glad we did it. It was a good way to start.”

GIRLS GYMNASTICSAndover also opened the confer­

ence season with a convincing 135.00 to 122.90 win over visiting Tewksbury earlier this week at the Dunn Gym.

The Lady Warriors have now won 26 consecutive dual meets since a 135.55 to 133.60 loss to Methuen on Feb 4.1999

They are also 88-5 in their last 93 and 109-13 since the middle of the 1989 season.

ScheduleThe Lady Warriors (5-0) return to

action next Monday night at Lowell (7 p.m.). and a week from tonight (Jan. 16) the first of two Blue-Gold intra-squad meets is on tap

The Blue/Gold will be scored just like a regular dual meet with judging by sanctioned officials. The rematch is Jan. 29.

The Shrewsbury non-league away meet has been moved to Saturday. Jan. 18 at 10 a.m.

Gloucester InvitationalThis meet was scored like the North

Sectional and State Meets. Every school had six gy mnasts competing on each of the four events, with the top four scores used to determine the team total.

Although there was no all-around champion. Shen Bernstein recorded a34.60 for Andover and Libby Fortier was close behind at 34.55.

Bernstein contributed a team-high 9.0 on balance beam, an 8.8 in floor exercise. 8.5 in vault and 8.3 on the uneven bars.

Fortier, in her first all-around per­formance for AHS. tied for team-high on bars with an 8.4 and added an 8.8 on beam. 8.55 in vault and 8.8 in floor.

Capi. Katie Call was sharp in three events with a team co-high 8.9 in floor, team-high 8.65 in vault and an 8.4 on beam.

Freshman Level 9 Katie Infantine posted a team co-high 8.9 in floor, team co-high 8.4 on bars and scored 6.5 on beam.

Sophomore Meghan Harrington was solid with an 8.55 in floor. 8.1 on

beam and 7.3 on bars.Sophomore Annmarie Cashman

produced an 8.45 in vault 7.9 on beam and 6.9 on bars.

Sophomore Jenn Palermo worked three events and notched an 8.5 in floor. 7.85 in vault and 7.0 on bars.

Freshman Ashley Baldwin took a turn vaulting and chalked up an 8.4.

Andover 135.00Tewksbury 122.90

Shen Bernstein had an outstanding night with firsts in three events, the bal­ance beam (9.0), floor exercise (9.0) and uneven bars (8.8).

Libby Fortier was tops in the v ault (8.6). tied Bernstein on beam i8.0) and tied for third on bars (8.0).

Freshman Katie Infantine also com­peted in three events, taking second on bars (8.7). second in floor (8.5) and third in vault (8.4).

Katie Cail scored with a second in vault (8.45) and third on beam (8.5). while also competing on bars (7.6).

Earning a fourth-place each w ere Annmarie Cashman (beam. 8.2) and freshman Ashley Baldwin (floor. 8.25).

"I wasn't sure how many girls Tewksbury had back from last y ear, when they had a pretty good team." said coach Chapman. “Originally we had 21 kids listed to perform, but it was reduced to 16 because I thought Tewks­bury was stronger and we would need the points.

"Courtney Walls, one of their best kids from last season, is gone and they had an ankle injury to a key gymnast in the warmups before this meet.

"The good thing is we got another awesome team score we weren't even going for. That's another one in the bank (for Sectional qualification )."

Freshman Sarah Coneeny added an 8.1 in vault and 7.9 in floor for the Lady Warriors.

Also competing were Andrea Kriv- elow (7.6) and Heather Barry (5.7) on beam. Ashley Baldwin (8.0) and fresh­man Stephanie Theroux (7.9) in vault, Lisa Vallera (7.7) and Rachel Goldman (6.55) in floor.

"We did get some first-year kids up for their first high school meet, which should help get the jitters out." said Chapman.

Andover did not enter an all-around and that enabled Tewksbury's Ashley Montague to place first with a 32.70.

Montague was third in floor exer­cise (8.3). tied for third on bars (8.0) and fourth on vault (8.3).

The locals went into the meet with­out sophomores Meghan Harrington (ill) and Jenn Palermo (out of town).

GIRLS ICE HOCKEYThe Andover High girls varsity ice

hockey team, which has lost only once in its two-year existence, blanked Waltham. 5-0. trimmed St. Bernard's of Fitchburg. 5-1. and rattled Chelms­ford. 7-2. in recent non-league and North Cape League play.

Those results boosted the Lady Warrior skaters to 5-0-1 overall.

ScheduleAHS played long-established Lin­

coln-Sudbury yesterday afternoon. after Townsman presstime, at Valley Sports Arena in West Concord.

The locals return to action Saturday night (8:30 p.m.) against Arlington High with the first of three straight

home games at Phillips Academy.

Andover 7 Chelmsford 2

AHS struggled for the first two peri­ods before breaking the tight 3-2 game open with four straight goals in the final 15 minutes at the Chelmsford Forum in Billenca.

Adrienne Shea's goal midway through the first stanza gave Andover a 1-0 lead, which was quickly erased 58 seconds later when Michelle Crotty connected for upset-minded Chelmsford.

Laura White- head. who assisted on the Lions' first goal, put the home team ahead 2-1 with 90 seconds left in the opening period.

AHS regained the lead in the middle session when freshman forward Mana Nasta found the net at 1:58. and Ashley Malins delivered the eventual game-winner at the 6:40 mark for a 3-2 edge.

Capt. Katie Stewart produced the first of four insurance goals at 3:11 of the final period.

Scoring in rapid-fire order about two minutes apart were sophomore for­ward Kim Chandler (7:31). freshman Amy Marlow (8:20) and freshman Samantha Weinberg (9:45).

Senior defenseman and Capt. Jess Leider passed out two assists, while solo setups went to blueliner/Capt. Jackie Collins, defender Allison Abreu, freshman defender Liz Roda. Capt. Katie Seero, freshman Kristen Costagliola. Malins. Chandler and Shea.

The offense was balanced as five players netted a goal each.

"We dominated." said coach Bill McCarthy. "We created a lot of scoring opportunities but had trouble finding the handle to finish off the plays around the net.

"We expected a bit of a letdown after our big game against Masconomet Regional (54 win)."

Junior forward and team scoring leader Adrienne Shea gave the locals a 1 -0 lead just 1:57 into the game against first-year v arsity team Waltham.

It remained 1-0 until Ashley Malins connected at 3:29 of the second period, freshman Maria Nasta and Capt. Jackie Collins collecting the assists.

Nasta's unassisted goal at 6:27 was followed 39 seconds later (7:06) by a Jacqui Munro tally, which came off a crisp passing play with Shea and Capt. Katie Stewart.

Stewart took a pass from Shea, cir­cled the net and fed the puck to Munro who w as stationed at the bottom of the slot.

Freshman forward Amy Marlow capped the scoring with her first varsity goal, unassisted, with 21 seconds to play in the game (14:39).

rolled to an 80-6 Merrimack Valley Conference dual-meet crossover win against Notre Dame Academy of Tyn- gsboro recently , while the boys nipped Lawrence High. 46-40. on the strength of a mile relay v ictory by the quartet of Robert Kaufman. Ryan Durkin. Vin Errico and anchorman Phil Shaw.

With ihe triumphs both AHS squads improv ed to 3-0 overall this sea­son.

ScheduleYesterday afternoon at the AHS

Field House, after Townsman presstime, the boys hosted Methuen and the girls faced Tewksbury in their first MVC Division I dual meets.

Andover boys 46Lawrence 40

Trailing 40-32 with two events left, the Golden Warriors rallied by sweep­ing the mile and winning the 4x400 relay.

"We never led the meet until the mile." said coach Art Iworsley. "But thal race, the relay and our I -2 finish in the IfXJO were the biggest keys."

In the clinching relay, first runner Robert Kaufman gave the locals a nice lead which was extended by Ryan Durkin on the second leg.

Vin Errico and anchorman Phil Shaw stayed several strides ahead on the final two legs as the Andover quar­

tet finished in 3:49.9."Lawrence never really challenged

after Kaufman took the lead." said Iworsley. "Shaw crossed the finish line four or five yards ahead of their last runner.”

The Lancers were timed in 3:51.2. All four members of the relay were

named meet MVPs and received the popular plaques sporting a white snowflake ( with a footprint in the mid­dle) on a blue background.

Earning the crucial sweep in the mile run were winner Shaw (5:13.0). runner-up Pat Twomey (5:14.4) and Brad Sherman (5:14.7).

Shaw's time was about 30 seconds slower than usual — and with good rea­son.

"We told Phil to run just fast enough to win the race," explained Iworsley. “The mile relay was right after and we needed him to conserve as much energy as possible for the anchor leg."

Placing 1-2 in the 1000 were junior Jeff Sawyer (2:32.3) and sophomore James Primes (2:40.4).

Ryan Durkin was the only other winner for the Golden Warriors, remaining undefeated this season in the two mile (10:17.8).

Contributing additional seconds were Errico in the 50 hurdles (6.9). Kaufman (300 dash. 35.7), Capt. Tay­lor Hender (600 run. 1:26.0), high jumper Dan Calderon (5'5") and shot putter Jason Shoemaker (36'7").

Adding third places for the locals, who won on superior depth, were fresh­man hurdler Adam Comeau (7.6), freshman speedster Jason Sheldon (50 dash. 6.0). Bruce Hillman (300 dash. 36.3). sophomore two-miler Sasha Seletsky (11:12.1) and high jumper Anthony Camilo.

Andover girls 80Notre Dame Academy 6

In addition to being a much stronger team, the AHS girls benefited from the absence of several key NDA athletes who were either injured or away for schixil vacation.

"We had no intention of running up a big score." said Iworsley. "It was a combination of circumstances that made the meet so one-sided."

The locals placed first in all 10 events and swept the 300. 6(X). l(XX). mile and two-mile races.

Capt. Carolyn Berbenan was the meet MVP as she once again scored in two events, winning the 50 dash (6.7) and running the first leg on the victori­ous relay.

Allison Kenv an duplicated that feat by placing first in the 50 hurdles (8.0) and handling the third leg of the 4x400.

Other individual winners were Amanda Carlson (300 dash. 42.1). Capt Stephanie Casper (600 run. 1:35.7). Amanda Buchholz (1000 run. 3:10.0), consistent miler Michelle Pirro (5:45.5), two-miler Jazzy Dingier (13:34.0). high jumper Becca Fink (4'8") and sophomore shot putter Feli­cia Thompson (37’7 1/2").

Joining Berberian and Kerivan on the relay (4:51.9) were freshmen Kelly McGowan and Risa Kent.

Runners-up included freshman Car­oline Pierce (50 dash. 6.8). Capt. Ash­ley Faulk (300 dash. 43.4), Emily Gen­tile (600 run. 1:42.3), Amy Palmieri (1000 run. 3:12.4). miler Bristol Kon- joian (6:17.5). two-miler Chrissy Nigh (14:19.1), sophomore high jumper Corinne Walsh (4'8") and shot putter

Erica Durie (26'9 1/2").Completing sweeps were freshman

Brittany Pierce (300 dash. 43.9). Emily Pearson (600 run. 1:45.6). Emily Farmer (1000 run. 3:21.9). miler Anne Galebach (6:22.8) and two-miler Mag­gie Putnam (14:37.3).

Jamie Meltz added a third in the hurdles (8.3).

GIRLS BASKETBALLStarting off the game like a true

thoroughbred, the Andover High girls basketball team exploded to a 24-4 lead midway through the first half and was never challenged thereafter in another convincing victory, 65-36. over Mem- mack Valley Conference crossover rival Billerica Tuesday night at the Dunn Gym.

The win boosted the undefeated Lady Warriors, who last played eight days earlier, to 7-0 overall and 4-0 in conference play.

After two reasonably close games to open the season. AHS has won its last five by wide margins of 25.25,21. 23 and 29 points.

"We played another outstanding first half," said coach Jim Tildsley. "And when it got physical in the second half our second group came in and did a fine job. It was an encouraging perfor­mance all-around."

ScheduleThe Lady Warriors return to Mem-

mack Valley Conference play tomor­row night at the Dunn Gym versus Division 1 foe Lowell (7:30 p.m.). The Red Raiders enter with a 7-2 overall record, the losses to Central Cathoilic and Merrimack. N.H High.

Jackie Powers netted seven points. Merry Fish six and Colleen Haugh six. Fish also had five assists, three steals and Haugh seven rebounds.

“Fish played her best all-around game and Haugh. (Kerri) O'Dea and (Ananna) Miliotis at point-guard were very effective," said Tildsley.

Rounding out the scoring were junior guard Liz Pallotta with five points. Matia Kostakis four. O'Dea two and Meagan Mennder a pair of free throws.

Kostakis collected a team-high 10 rebounds and blocked two shots, while Mennder had five boards and Saman­tha Hughes three steals and a block.

Wanriors at 2-1-2 overall, including 1-0-1 in the league, and extended the club's unbeaten streak to three games.

ScheduleAHS battled Division 1 Central Catholic last

night in a MV/DCL crossover game at the Mer­rimack Valley Forum.

games (20.0 ave.), while Jack Barrett boasts 80 points and Kevin Barrett 75.Andover 64Billerica 59

AHS raced out to a commanding 19-2 lead at the beginning of the game, and appeared ready to run the host Indians out of their own gym.

But BMHS regrouped and closed the deficit to 27-21 at the half following a 19-8 run of its own.

Billerica, better than its 1 -6 record, managed to hang around for the entire second half and cut the deficit to three points with five minutes to play.

Vetrano hit one of his four three-pointers at this juncture, and when Billerica missed at lay-up at the other end the Golden Warriors took charge for good.

Capt. Vetrano, who was called for four offen­sive fouls and fouled out with about four minutes to play, finished with 16 points and four assists.

Capt. Kevin Barrett shared game-high honors with 16 points, and he added eight rebounds (five offensive), while Jack Barren tossed in 14 points.

AHS PreviewsBy Rick Harrison

The Townsman today continues pre­views of the 11 Andover High varsity' sports teams for the 2002-03 winter sea­son with a look at girls gymnastics and boys gymnastics.

GIRLS GYMNASTICSThe 2003 Andover High girls gym­

nastics team is out to prove there is life after Kristin Elsmore and Becky Hass.

The graduation of All-Scholastics Elsmore and Hass, two of the best girls gymnasts in the history of the AHS pro­gram now diving for the University of Vermont and Tufts University women's swim teams respectively, will obviously be felt.

Also missed will be grads Jackie Barry (Providence College) and Diana Vining (UPenn).

All four were on Lady Warrior teams that won three Merrimack Valley Conference dual-meet titles and swept to both the North Sectional and State Meet championships as well in 2000.

This year's group of 27. which includes nine new freshman gymnasts, is striving for its own identity.

The locals have already taken sev er­al strides in that direction, sweeping to victory in the five-team Gloucester Invi­tational and opening the Merrimack Valley Conference season with a 135.00 to 122.90 win over Tewksbury at the Dunn Gym (see AHS Roundup, page 14).

“We're the favorite to win the MVC — and I expect us to compete for the whole thing (Sectionals and States) again," said coach Julie Chapman, who begins her 15th year with the program and 13th as head coach.

“We obviously lost a big 1-2 punch in Becky and Kristin, which will hurt us most on bars where both consistently scored 9's.

“But we still have so much depth. Now some of the other girls have a chance to step into the spotlight. It's their turn." said Chapman.

“We showed our strength through­out the lineup right away in the Glouces­ter Invitational. A couple of our fresh­men. Katie Infantine and Ashley Bald­win, are ready to step in immediately and place for us.

“We could be stronger on balance beam this year, and we'11 be outstanding again in floor and vault."

The Lady Warriors have won 26 consecutive dual meets since a 135.55 to 133.60 loss to Methuen on Feb. 4, 1999.

They are also 88-5 in their last 93 and 109-13 since the middle of the 1989season.

Last year Andover placed a close second to Barnstable in the State Cham­pionship Meet (138.775 to 138.025), and runner-up to Beverly in the North Sectionals (138.45 to 137.225).

n n nThe 2003 team has five seniors, four

juniors, nine sophomore and nine fresh­men.

Leading the way are senior Capts. Shen Bernstein and Katie Call, both all- arounds and standouts at the Gloucester Invitational where Bernstein competed in all four events and Cail in three.

Other seniors are Heather Barry (beam, floor). Rachel Goldman (floor) and Lisa Vallera (bars, floor).

Juniors are Ashley Dias (beam, floor), Andrea Krivelow (beam, vault, floor). Laura Lamontagne (beam, floor) and Jenn Mason (vault, floor).

The sophomore group is led by all- around Libby Fortier, who scored 34.55 at Gloucester in her first time as AA for AHS

Other sophomore leaders are Ann- marie Cashman (bars, beam, vault), Meghan Harrington (all-around) and Jenn Palermo (bars, vault, floor).

Also ready to contribute are Bry anna Casey (beam, floor). Andrea Coiro (beam, vault, floor), Danielle Lemire (beam, floor, vault), Aja Nicholson (beam, vault, floor) and Lauren Reed (beam, vault).

At the freshmen level. Level 9 all- around Katie Infantine is ready to step in as a top performer. Other frosh AA's are Ashley Baldwin and Sarah Coneeny.

Completing the ninth-grade group are Sheila Tayebi (vault, floor,. Siena Brooks (vault, floor), Donna Lamon­tagne (beam, vault, flow), Sonai Mehta (beam, floor). Jenmfer Pavelka (beam.

floor) and Stephanie Theroux (vault, floor).

Lindsay Rudolph, a former AHS standout and UMass Lowell senior, returns for her third year as a volunteer assistant.

□ □□Chelmsford may be the only team in

the MVC with a remote chance to give Andover a nin for its money in the con­ference.

At the statewide level, old reliables Danvers (four top returners), Baenstable and Beverly figure to be challengers along with Andovr for top honors once again.

BOYS GYMNASTICSThe future may be now for the

Andover High boys gymnastics team, whose original turnout of 42 candidates is among the highest in the state this year and could be the largest ever at the school.

Sheer numbers do not always trans­late into wins or success, but veteran coach Jack Gleason looks for the Gold­en Warriors to be competitive against a small but traditionally strong group of opponents.

He hopes to equal or surpass last year's won-los, ledger of 3-6, with the wins coming at the expense of Salem. N.H. (twice) and Revere.

"We should be better in floor exer­cise and vaulting.” he noted. "We have six gymnasts who can all do the hand­

spring vault, and there is depth in fl<x>r although we need to make up the points lost with the graduation of Todd Put­nam."

Putnam and Mike Morrissey were the key grads last year

Returning seniors are all-around Rob Ginsberg. Dan Booth (vault, floor parallel bars). Dave Fielding (vault, rings), Greg Hartwell (floor, high bar vault, parallel bars). Justin Ho (floor, pommel horse, high bar. rings). Dan Jaffe (horse, parallel bars, high ban. Kevin Lai (horse) and Mike Zammuto (floor, horse, parallel bars).

Juniors hoping to play key roles include Lyle Brewer (horse). Austin Kastaldi (parallel bars). Scott Ebner (high bar. floor, parallel bars). Josh Kel­ley (parallel bars, horse). Steve Schade (high bar) and Steve Wong (horse, par­allel bars, rings,.

Sophomores expecting to place are top floor exercise performer Alex Bergeson. Brad Day (parallel bars,. Sha- heen Ghanchi (rings,. Justin Kumpf (horse) and Geoff Stevens (parallel bars,.

Promising prospects among a talent­ed group of freshman are Seth Putnam. Todd's brother, and Mike Fortier whose older sister Libby is a standout on the .AHS girls team.

"We did some exhibitions at the middle and elementary schools last year." said Gleason. "It helped create

interest and cunousity in the program.This is Gleason's 38th year as either

a gy mnastics coach or judge, and his ninth year in a second stmt as AHS head man.

His staff consists of Steve Sirois. billed as co-head coach. Rick Jaffe and George W'alsh

Sirois, a private contractor and for­mer AHS gymnast who was the Golden Warriors' sole leader for several years, does double duty as head coach for the fledgling Lowell High boys team

Jaffe graduated from AHS in 1975 and was also a past head coach for two y ears, while Walsh is a George-of-all- trades volunteer doing whatever is

required."Most of the coaches feel Braintree

with everyone returning from last year will be the team to beat.' said Gleason

Defending state champ Attleboro should also be strong — and that's who Andover opened the dual-meet season with yesterday evening 'after Towns­man presstime, at the Dunn Gym

The locals have a non-league meet at Salem. N.H tomorrow i4 30p m ,. and tentatively will face Sirois' Lowell squad next Monday at the Dunn Gy m (5 p.m.,.

The annual State Coaches Individual Meet is set for Feb 10 at Attleboro High, with the State Team Champi­onships on Feb 14 tentatively listed for MIT in Cambridge

Company founder Jim Raras Jr. said his company's three other stores - in Bed­ford, Concord, N.H. and York. Maine - focus on cus­tomizing entertainment rooms.

His cozy business scene is a lot differ­ent from the scene at the home-enter­tainment retail giants, and people like it, he said. He said the store's

Anew Pvrk Street business offers customers the latest look in home entertainment com­

plete with a 50-inch Plas- mavision Slim Screen and modular-speakers for the perfect surround-sound experience.

Customers absorb the tunes in the comfort of a leather couch set up in the store's makeshift home the­ater, complete with pillows.French doors and track lighting. Future plans call for tossing the couch and offering customers viewing chairs that will be available for customization.

The store is ExtendedNetworking at 63 Park St. in ........................the Park Street Village area.

The feel of Extended Networking is movie theater-ish. appealing to the grow­ing number of homeowners who want a home-entertainment room.

People are staying home more than ever and spending big bucks for at-home entertainment as a result. Media rooms or home theaters featuring giant televisions and surround-sound speakers for the digi­tal video disc (DVD) players are sprouting up in upscale communities. So three 25- year-old high-school friends from Chelmsford with backgrounds in comput-

Design and installation of home-enter­tainment packages in the S10.000 to $50,000 range are typical of what the store has been doing since it opened in late November.

It sells some home-entertainment products, including that 50-inch Plasma- vision Slim Screen by Fujitsu (which sells for $10,000). cell phones and a line of

modular home-enter­tainment furniture. Viewing chairs for theater seating are expected to be avail­able in a few months.

Jim Wholey is also one of the Chelmsford trio and he flipped open his top-of-the- line Nextel cellular phone, which is sold at the store. He noted how it's customized so he can check game scores on ESPN.com.

The experience of his father. Jack Who­ley. who has an exten­sive background in computer networking,

helps these 20-something techies with the business.

“It’s all about customization,” Raras emphasized. "The demand is out there. And we think a lot of people in Andover are ready for a customized home theater."

EVENTS CALENDARYour Dental Health

by Richard D. Hopgood, D.M.D., F.A.G.D.

A tooth-saving strategyResearch shows that patients with periodontal disease can utilize the non-surgical

treatment combination of aggressive cleaning and short-term antibiotics to effectively save their teeth. The study included patients with severe periodontal disease who had four or more areas recommended for surgery or tooth extraction. The patients underwent an aggressive cleaning technique known as root planing and scaling, involving utilization of a special instrument that is slipped down to the bottom of the pocket between tooth and gums to remove harmful plaque and toxic bacterial by-products. The patients then received an antibiotic and follow-up root planing and scaling every three months It was found that the deep cleaning and medication rendered 87% of the initially recommended surgeries and extraction unnecessary.

It is estimated that more than half of all people over age 18 have at least the early stages of gum disease: after age 35, about three out of four adults are affected. Avoid the need tor scaling and root planning, and protect yourself and your family - practice con­scientious home care, have regular checkups, and eat a healthy diet. We'll help too, because we care almost as much as you do about the health of your teeth and gums. Call 978-475-2431 for an appointment at 296 Lowell Street (Rt. 133) We have easy access off Rt. 93

P.S. The benefits o, the treatment regimen described above were found to last dur- ing five years of follow-up.

Night life? In Andover?

By Ben Heilman

O - YOU LIKE THE NIGHT LIFE, you like to boogie? Chances are you go somewhere out of town to do that. But with food,

music, bars and ice cream, the Andover latenight scene attracts people from in and outside the Merrimack Valley.

From the candle-lit ambiance of Glory to the dressed-down regulars at the Park Street Pub, Andover’s handful of bars and late night restau­rants cater to a variety of clientele, many of whom are traveling from out of town.

Bartender Kelly Tinkham says that the Park Street Pub is Andover's place where everybody knows your name. “It’s very much a neighbor­hood place. Everybody knows everybody,” she

said.But “everybody”

isn’t necessarily from Andover. The regular crowd draws from Methuen, Reading, and Haver­hill at least. Haver­hill regular Kristin Dumer said that the crowd is generally in their 20s and 30s. and that around 11 p.m. the college stu­dents pour in.

Recent UMass graduate Joslyn

Evans was there from Reading, where she says there are few bars - and she adds that bars in North Reading are even worse. “There's a lot of

“People say there’s

nothing to do in Andover.

You come in here on a

Thursday or Friday, this

place is packed.”

mullets in North Reading,” she said.Glory manager Eileen Eagen says that the

stylish, relaxed atmosphere draws people from Boston. On Saturday night she said that four Bruins were sitting at the Essex Street bar.

Others go to chain restaurant/bars such as the 99 Restaurant on Route 133 or the Ground

Round on Route 28.Andover night life seems

to be an oxymoron to many residents. Palmers bar man­ager and Andover resident Joanne Donnelly laughed out loud when she heard the words used together, but then she got serious.

"People say there's noth­ing to do in Andover. You come in here on a Thursday or Friday, this place is

packed," she said.“It's packed when there's music," said Andover

resident Wayne Hopkins. Palmers has live groups play blues, R&B. rock and swing Thursday through Saturday. But Hopkins said that Glory, Justin's and Park Street (after basketball) meet his needs. “If you're an old married couple Pasta Vil- lagio is nice. It's not expensive,” said Hopkins.

In a tow n bereft of mini golf, a movie theater, a bowling alley or a nighttime mall, many teens are forced to flee to neighboring tow ns for entertain­ment. but night manager Benny Rios said that Friendly’s gets its share of youth's nighttime busi­ness. "It was really packed earlier." said Rios on Tuesday night. Rios says that Friendly's is also the post-show destination for theater audiences.
