Our tennis courts don't compete
Editor, Townsman:
In reference to your story about California Products, it's ironic that while Andover is home to the world's leading manufacturer of tennis court surfacing materials, our high school's courts are among the most poorly constructed and maintained in the region.

Andover is not a community geared toward seniors. The news that The Andovers Village at Home will disband later this month certainly will not improve that.
TAVAH, an organization meant to help seniors live independently in their homes by providing them with services and with a network of trusted providers, for a fee, could not attract enough users or financial support to continue. Whether more people did not join was because of its cost, old-fashioned New England pride and self-sufficiency or another reason is something worth finding out.
We are a great country but we are not perfect. Like other countries we have our share of physical and social diseases.
For the most part, like other countries, physical diseases are not of man's doings and will take many years to completely cure. Alzheimer's, Lou Gehrig's and heart diseases along with certain forms of cancer are just a few. I'm sure you could add to the list.
Enough hip-strionics, let them dance
Editor, Townsman:
This letter is in response to "High School considers controls on 'grinding' dance" (Feb. 2, 2012 Townsman, page 1.)
Anyone remember the '50s? I'm certain some of us do. After all, the Boomers were just reaching their own, becoming teenagers - wild, free and rebellious. During that time there were a lot of "hot button" issues to inflame parental concerns: girls wearing pants, boys with long hair, interracial dating and new types of music. Rock'n'roll was banned for most high school dances back then, remember?
