Forum, March 5: Thanks to voters of Hartford Published: 3/4/2021 10:00:16 PM Modified: 3/9/2021 9:57:39 AM Thanks to voters of Hartford This is a letter of thanks to all those who supported my reelection campaign to the Hartford Selectboard. Many of you wrote letters to the Valley News Forum, made social media posts, posted signs and held conversations with neighbors. Hearing such support from so many residents, as well as so many community members who run nonprofits in Hartford, made all the difference and was the key to success. Your vote is your voice and you let it be heard loud and clear. I am honored to have received such wide support and look forward to continuing to serve the town for three more years. I must also give a shout of thanks to our town clerk, Lisa O’Neil, and the entire election team for all the work they did (for months) to make this election run so smoothly during a pandemic. I am especially thankful to all the candidates who ran ....

I serve as an adviser to the Lebanon Students of Color Collective. My years in the Lebanon School District were marked by frequent changes I attended the School Street, Hanover Street and Seminary Hill schools, Lebanon Junior High, Lebanon Middle School and Lebanon High School. I served on Student Council for my four years at LHS, served two years as student representative to the School Board, and was moderator (similar to president) of the Student Council my senior year. ....
Forum, Feb. 27: Kelly McConnell has experience Published: 2/26/2021 10:00:06 PM Modified: 2/26/2021 10:00:04 PM Kelly McConnell has experience On Tuesday, Hanover residents will vote on the Hanover and Dresden school budgets, as well as for School Board members. Given the multiple challenges of the pandemic, continuing work on the district’s strategic plan, and ongoing efforts at the state and local levels to control what and how teachers teach, it is critically important that we consider experience and continuity in selecting board members. With six years of service, if reelected, Kelly McConnell will be the longest-serving member of the Hanover board. Her tenure also exceeds that of every single administrator in SAU 70. ....
Group plots direction for trail through West Lebanon Modified: 2/17/2021 9:45:22 PM WEST LEBANON A coalition of city officials, nonprofits and local businesses is seeking to break through years of gridlock and expand the Mascoma River Greenway through West Lebanon. At issue is how to link the greenway, which runs along an old rail trail, to newly created trails paralleling Route 10 and the Connecticut River without having to rely on the Twin State Sand and Gravel site, which is served by the rail line but whose owners have not been able to redevelop the property as quickly as they had hoped. The group, headed by the city’s West Lebanon Revitalization Advisory Committee, plans to advocate for a “West Lebanon Greenway” that could encompass several recreational hotspots in the area. ....
Westboro rail yard money ready to spend on demolition Modified: 2/11/2021 9:50:55 PM WEST LEBANON Money set aside two years ago to demolish crumbling buildings at the Westboro Rail Yard will finally be utilized to clear the 22-acre property of debris, giving hope to Lebanon officials and residents who want to build a public park along the Connecticut River. The New Hampshire Department of Transportation, which owns the rail yard near Route 10 in West Lebanon, informed city officials last week that it intends to unfreeze funds dedicated to site cleanup and asbestos removal. DOT has not said specifically what it will spend, but estimates indicate it could be more than $500,000. ....
