On Dec. 19, Time magazine named President Barack Obama as their Person of the Year.

The magazine invited votes on 40 candidates, including Gabby Douglas and Kim Jong Un. Other options included The Mars Rover and the Higgs Boson Particle.

Is it one of the selctmen: Laura Burns, Bruce Rabuffo or Irma Lauter?  Is it a teacher? or police officer of fireman?
