HANOVER When April Salas set out to acquire information about energy usage in Hanover, she was in for an uphill battle.
Salas is the sustainability director of the town, population 11,500, which has the resources to consider such a project. In 2018, Hanover decided to put together a program that would allow it to procure green and renewable energy. But to do that, officials needed townwide information about energy usage.

Westport Cleans Up Nicely With Team C.O.W. Program
The town of Westport is looking a little cleaner these days after a large group of volunteers took to the streets to clean up the roadside trash.
There was a sea of neon green as 200 volunteers marched across the town in their Team C.O.W volunteer shirts. It stands for Clean Our Westport , Team Leader Martin Costa said. I reached out to Selectman Steve Ouellette three years ago to get the green light on Team C.O.W. and as the years rolled on, we saw more and more volunteers showing up. The first year we had 25, the second year we had 50, and finally we had about 200 just this past Saturday.
