Forty-six town residents were in attendance at Lovell's Annual Town Meeting where a total of 85 articles were voted on. The first order of business was to nominate Jonathan Bliss as the meeting's moderator. Stephen Goldsmith was reelected to a three-year term as Selectman and a number of people were nominated and elected to fill vacancies on a variety of boards. Mr. Bliss opened the meeting with a thank you to Larry Fox and the Lovell road crew for doing a great job of keeping the streets plowed during the winter storms.

Reflecting the hard work of the Selectmen and the Budget Committee, there was minimal discussion on the amount of monies requested. There was, however, a considerable amount of time spent debating the question of allowing recreation departments from other towns to use the Narrows Beach. A written ballot was requested and the article was voted down. (35 no to 9 yes).

State Senator Lisa Keim came to the meeting to make an announcement about various state issues and to present Fire Chief Tommie McKenzie with a commemorative snow shovel. One member of the audience commented that it was the first time in 42 years of attending town meeting that a State Senator made an appearance.

This year’s Annual Report was dedicated to the Delta Masonic Lodge #153 A.F.& A.M.
