Spurred on by state efforts to establish the E911 emergency telephone system, Town officials seized the opportunity to centralize emergency dispatch.Modern equipment purchased by the Town and by the E911 program with directory assistance revenues made this improvement possible.This fledgling service, although only eight months old at year's end,has been able to free public safety personnel to work outside the station,providing emergency and preventative services for which they have been trained. Public works and capital improvements were once again a major focus. Town Meeting authorized consolidation of the Highway,Recycling Transfer Station,and Tree,Park and Cemetery Departments.In a companion develop- ment,the Town voted to build a public works garage adjacent to the RTF,to replace our undersized and deficient facilities.When this consoHdation and fa- cility is completed,we anticipate the ability to improve the already cooperative relationship between these operations and to better maintain and utilize de- partmental equipment.The Milliken-Lillard Field athletic complex was sub- stantially completed in 1995.This will give Cohasset residents and students a first-class modern facility for a variety of athletic competition. The Water Commission took several bold steps to solve the water supply problems which so dominated 1994.Phase I of the Town's water distribution improvement plan was completed,which by fall resulted in remarkable water pressure improvements for residents of the Jerusalem Road and Beechwood areas,plus substantial fire protection improvements for not only those neigh- borhoods but for Forest Avenue residents served by Massachusetts-American Water Company.In an effort to increase productivity and increase efficiency, the Commission put the department operation out to bid.On July 1,a private entity,Cohasset Water Services,Inc.,commenced operations. Revised Title V regulations regulating septic systems gave a new urgency to the Town's proposed waste water treatment proposals.Spurred on by a citizen's group,the possibiHty of utilizing the Hull treatment plant to service the upper Jerusalem Road-Hull Street area took a step forward as officials in Hull, Hingham and Cohasset work towards agreement on providing sewers to that neighborhood.An important side benefit will be a lessening of the pollution and midge problem that plagues Straits Pond.The engineering study for expansion of Cohasset's waste water treatment facility continued to progress as well and Cohasset residents will likely see a Town Meeting article in 1996 to construct this facility. The proposed Cohasset Heights Landfill expansion continued to require the energies of both Town officials and residents.Despite considerable engin- 19 eering,legal,and lobbying effort by officials,citizens and professionals engaged by the Town,CHL was successful in clearing the MEPA process and getting a positive site suitability decision from DEP for an expansion for construction and demolition waste.The Cohasset Board of Health must conduct site assignment hearings on the proposed 27.5 acre expansion in early 1996. Efforts to get Cohasset Harbor dredged saw the Town make small steps in progress towards that goal.The Town overcame several hurdles relating to policy issues raised by the Army Corps of Engineers and,as the year closed,it appeared that the Corps and the Town would be jointly proceeding through the environmental permitting process. Finally,the ongoing permitting process for the Greenbush line of the Old Colony Railroad got a major boost as the proposed railroad restoration cleared the MEPA process and received the clear support of Governor Weld and his ad- ministration.Although there are many hurdles remaining in the process,it would now appear that commuter rail service will return to this area after the turn of the century. HIGHLIGHTS OF 1995 JANUARY —Selectmen hire consultant for environmental review of Green- bush commuter railroad restoration. Town teens volunteer to help convert Independence Building into Teen Center. FEBRUARY -Selectmen pare Town's Fiscal Year 1996 budget to soften override impact. Joseph Buckley named 1994 Citizen of the Year. Shaw's Supermarkets proposed redevelopment of Gushing Plaza. MARCH'—Public library accepts gift to restore rotunda murals and clock face. Town Meeting approves reorganization of Public Works De- partment. APRIL —School Committee adopts single winter school vacation week. MAY —VE Day commemorated. Override election approves debt exclusion for Public Works Garage and projected budget deficit of $358,000. Selectmen execute grant agreement with Commonwealth to dredge portions of Cohasset Harbor. 20 JUNE JULY AUGUST Linwood L.Davis retires from Fire Department after twenty- eight years of service. Cohasset Harbor Master Shawn Kelly resigns. Enhanced 911 goes on line. Sewer hookup with Town of Hull pondered as means of solv- ing Straits Pond septic problem.

John H.Winters III appointed new Harbor Master. Sergeant Richard G.Abbadessa retires from the Police De- partment after twenty-three years of service. Cohasset Common scheduled for Hsting in National Register of Historic Places. SEPTEMBER -Ship Cove Park dedicated. OCTOBER - NOVEMBER Water main construction completed on Forest Avenue, Cunningham's Bridge,and Beechwood Street. Proposal presented to name Town squares to honor soldiers killed in Vietnam and Korea.

Gas and Plumbing Inspector Robert A.Leonard resigns after seventeen years of service. U.S.Senate passes Cohasset Navigation Act to allow Harbor dredging to proceed. 21 Town Meeting approves funds to complete construction of new High School athletic field and make improvements to Milliken and Lillard Fields. DECEMBER -Qualified approval given by state Department of Environmen- tal Protection for expansion of Cohasset Heights Landfill. Governor Weld announces plans for Greenbush Railroad to move forward. Looking forward to 1996,it is anticipated that capital projects will again be a major focus of attention. In addition to the previously mentioned public works garage,sewer and water projects,a Special Town Meeting and election was scheduled to deal with a proposal to replace the Osgood School and to expand and renovate Deer Hill School. It is also anticipated that the Town's long delayed landfill capping project will start this year. This inevitably raises the ever-present issue of finances.Paying for these projects will require residents to dig deeper into their pockets,not only this year but in future years.Unfortunately,the postponement of needed capital improvements has resulted in the financing of many large projects almost simul- taneously.The good news is that current long term interest rates are favorable, and that,combined with relatively low inflation in the construction industry, makes this an opportune time to undertake major projects. To lessen the burden somewhat on the property tax rate,state construc- tion aid,state subsidized interest rates,and user betterments will be utilized. Nevertheless,you,the taxpayer or service user,will pay significantly more in the coming years as this long term debt is repaid. As Town Officials,we hope that these projects will improve both the quality of life and quality of municipal services in Cohasset. Respectfully submitted, Merle S.Brown,Chairman Peter J.Pratt,Vice-Chairman Martha K.Gjesteby Jane 0.Goedecke Michael H.Sullivan 22 TOWN ARCHIVIST The year 1995 saw continued activity in the Town's PubHc Records Ar- chive vault at Town Hall.Under Massachusetts'Public Records Laws,permanent public records as defined in statute and regulation,must be stored in state- approved,fireproof vaults at the site of the offices they serve.Cohasset's records vaults date from construction of the new wing of Town Hall.The vaults receive the permanent records of Town Hall offices and records of other boards,committees,commissions and departments,as they are turned over to the Town Archivist.Records are shelved in accordance with proven- ance,or office of origin,as good archival procedure requires.They also are recorded in the vault inventory booi:kept by the Archivist. Municipal boards,committees,commissions and departments generating permanent public records are reminded to make those records available for filing in the vault on a regular basis.Those not in custody of the Town Clerk's office are kept in the archive vaults in Town Hall cellar.The vaults also are the reposi- tory for the Town's historical Public Records,dating back to the original book of Parish and Precinct records begun in 1717. During 1995 work also was done to increase the amount of shelf and cabi- net space remaining available for future storage of the Town's permanent Public Records. Respectfully submitted, David H.Wadsworth 23 NORFOLK COUNTY ADVISORY BOARD Cohasset has one seat on the 28-town Norfolk County Advisory Board (an appropriating authority similar to combination of finance committee and town meeting),with a 1.88 weighted vote out of 100.00 (based on share of equalized valuation).The Advisory Board member is a selectman (general law)or can be appointee of selectmen in any Norfolk County town (special act).Merle Brown was selectman/member of record in FISC 95. Norfolk County Advisory Board meets monthly during the annual budget review and otherwise quarterly for consideration of budgetary transfers or sup- plements.County appropriations are made subject to such regular reviews,in order to make timely budgetary adjustments and reduce the likelihood of crises. In Fiscal 1995,the Norfolk County Advisory Board had three quarterly meet- ings (fall,winter,spring)plus three monthly meetings during annual budget review. SEPTEMBER 94 quarterly meeting (at Agricultural School)voted revenue adjustments for and transfers within the 95 Appropriation,including Capital Improvement Fund for Agricultural School.DECEMBER 94 quarterly meeting (at Respiratory Hospital)voted additional revenue adjustments and supplemen- tary spending authority in Fisc 95 County Appropriation;appointed three out- side trustees to Massachusetts Respiratory Hospital for six -year terms;and heard joint briefing with hospital trustees on future of the respiratory hospital. MARCH 95 quarterly meeting (Agricultural School)received informa- tional presentation on county revenue sources,with particular attention to state's history of payment for rental of county-owned court buildings;accumu- lated shortfall of $1.8 million was documented as basis for pending special legis- lation to remedy same;later business meeting voted some $72,500 for design of electrical service improvments at court buildings in Wrentham and Brookline; also approved $42,280 supplementary appropriations for operation and main- tenance of court buildings. APRIL,MAY and JUNE monthly meetings received commissioners'and department head's presentations on proposed FISC 96 county appropriations in the form of two readings on each budget,with a final vote on consoUdated commissioners'request;in effect,members had three opportunities to question each departmental appropriation before vote at June meeting.

According to the Department of Revenue (DOR)guidelines,property values should fall within a range of 10%plus or minus of 100%.A total of 131 arm's length sales were classified and analyzed and market trends were identified.The new parameters were applied consistently to all properties. By far the most influencing force in the real estate market in Cohasset is land value,which is basically a measure of desirability of the community as a place to live.Land value is directly related to supply and demand and fluctu- ates with the health of the real estate market.In Cohasset,building lots are scarce and land values have increased approximately 10%.Currently,the Town's total land value is comprised of 48%of the total valuation. As population changes,so do the tastes of buyers in the marketplace. Conducting the 1996 Revaluation "in-house"has enabled the Assessors to stay abreast of market fluctuations. The Assessors wish to acknowledge Assistant Assessor/Appraiser Cheryl Pooler for her dedication to this project,along with the office staff consisting of Janice Rosano and Debra Krupczak.We are most appreciative. Lastly,the Assessors wish to thank the residents of Cohasset for their continued cooperation in making this venture possible. Type of Property Valuation Residential 771,003,000. Commercial 47,220,700. Industrial 4,925,000. Personal Property 10,234,671. The Fiscal Year 1996 Tax Rate was set at $14.50.

Robert E.Egan Building Inspector/Zoning Officer CONSERVATION COMMISSION The Conservation Commission bade farewell to member Robin Grinnell, who moved out of town.Associate member Susan Cope was appointed to the vacancy. In 1995,the Commission contracted with Paul Shea of Independent Environmental Consultants to provide a variety of consulting and inspection services in lieu of having an employee Agent.Mr.Shea's competence and pro- fessionalism have been a great asset to the work of the Commission,and he has been well received by the Commission,town officials and applicants,and other professionals coming before the Commission. 180 The Commission also notes with sadness that its longtime Secretary, Patricia Walsh,will be retiring effective June 30,1996.Pat's long and dedicated service is much appreciated and will be sorely missed. Major projects undertaken by the Commission during 1995 included the Shaw's project,continuing work on the myriad of activities and applications involving Cohasset Heights,the upcoming sewer project,Milliken Field,DPW garage,Lamberts Lane Subdivision,and Cohasset Plaza.Building on work begun in 1994,the Commission moves into 1996 with the hope that an open space plan will be put into place and that the Town will be able to participate in the purchase of valuable open space on Turkey Hill. Respectfully submitted, Thomas J.Callahan,Chairman Edward S.Graham,Jr.,Vice Chairman John K.Bryant Susan G.Cope Roseanne M.McMorris Veneta P.Roebuck Jeffrey C.Waal James G.Dedes,Associate Robin D.GrinneU (resigned 6/30/95) DESIGN REVIEW BOARD At the request of the Zoning Board of Appeals,we reviewed and com- mented on the proposed Shaw's Supermarket development on two separate occasions.At the request of the Board of Selectmen,we reviewed a proposed addition to Cohasset's Military Memorial.At the request of the Planning Board, we reviewed a possible new access road to the Stop and Shop Supermarket property. Respectfully submitted, Gordon S.Hislop,Chairman Eileen M.Corbett Maxwell R.Pounder Kathleen R.Fox Robert C.Hunter Josiah Stevenson Robert M.Egan,Building Inspector (ex-officio) 181 BOARD OF HEALTH On January 12,1995,long-time Chairman William E.Baird resigned from the Board for personal and business reasons.On January 30,1995,Robert V. Davenport was appointed to fill his term until the spring election.Robert V. Davenport was elected in April to fill the one-year unexpired term of Mr.Baird. Thomas C.Cook,P.E.,was elected to a second three-year term.At the reorgan- ization,Thomas Cook was elected Chairman and Alix White,Clerk.Joseph R. Godzik,V.M.D.,continued as Health Agent.Carol Oteri-Puffer left her position as Administrative Secretary after a long illness which did not permit her to return to work. The Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) regulations pertaining to subsurface sewage disposal (Title 5)were implemented on March 31,1995.Septic system inspections produced a high failure rate. Initially,the DEP chose to interpret the regulations in a very strict manner,caus- ing many homeowners to have no choice but to put in a tight or holding tank. However,working closely with DEP Water Pollution Control staff provided a softening of their position and allowed septic systems to be repaired. Most repairs were made at great cost to the homeowner.Alternative and innovative technology solutions were sought.The Board became a leader in the Commonwealth in approving the use of new alternative technologies.The Board approved the first evapo-transpiration system for greywater for residential use in Massachusetts.The Board is also working closely with the Sewer Com- mission to provide municipal sewerage for the Straits Pond basin.Many sub- standard septic systems presently pollute the groundwater.Municipal sewer hookups will help produce a better water quality in the Pond.The Cohasset Heights Ltd.Landfill's proposed expansion received approval from the Executive Office of Envirormiental Affairs to proceed with a review of the site for suita- bility as a landfill.The DEP's Division of Solid Waste considered the site suit- able for a landfill to receive construction and demolition waste only.Based on this site suitability approval,the Board of Health will convene a site assigrmient hearing in January.A decision on the site assignment should be rendered in March or April. Two longtime employees of the Recycling Transfer FaciHty,Joseph Laugelle and John Barnes,retired in 1995.Closure of the Cedar Street Landfill progressed according to a revised schedule established in May.The Comprehen- sive Site Assessment (CSA)was filed with DEP and closure plans are ready to be filed in January 1996.It is anticipated that construction for closure will com- mence in the summer of 1996. The rabies epizootic 1994 was greatly diminished in 1995 with only two positive cases occurring early in the year.This was probably due to a significant die-off of raccoons. In conjuncfion with the South Shore Boards of Health Collaborative Tobacco Control Program,the Board passed regulations which limit access to 182 tobacco products.Compliance checks for sales to minors revealed that a large percentage of facilities which sell tobacco,sold to minors.The regulations passed allow only store personnel to handle the product,ban vending machines, and provide for fines and suspensions of tobacco sales if selling to minors occurs. A compHance check done after merchant education and passage of the regula- tions resulted in 100%comphance regarding sales to minors.The Board will continue to work with the Collaborative to prevent tobacco related illness and death. The Board continues to distribute vaccines provided by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health to physicians through its contract with the Social Service League.A new refrigerator/freezer was purchased to store the soon-to- be available chicken-pox vaccine since stringent temperature controls are required for storage.The Board continues to provide free pneumonia vaccine to all residents at risk —those over sixty-five years of age and those with res- piratory disease. The revolving account receipts and expenditures for septage disposal at Upper Blackstone Pollution Abatement District were: Receipts -$8,311.50 Expenditures -$8,944.80 Interest Earned -$326.38. Respectfully submitted, Thomas C.Cook,P.E.,Chairman Alix P.White,Clerk Robert V.Davenport 183 METROPOLITAN AREA PLANNING COUNCIL In order to increase its ability to serve its local communities,MAPC has made an increasing effort over the past year to add new programs and tech- nologies that will enhance our existing programs.The agency recently purchased MassTrac and MuniLaw,two services that allow MAPC to answer questions on current legislative action and local zoning and general by-laws.Additionally,the agency continues to work with the Massachusetts Municipal Association's Local Net to post information relevant to its communities.Communities that have a modem and are not yet part of the network may call MAPC in order to obtain a license that will allow them to participate in this program. The agency's Data Center has recently compiled new community profiles for each community and has developed new 25-year population age group and household forecasts for the region.These projections will be used in planning for new infrastructure and in the delivery of municipal services in the region. MAPC's Geographic Information Systems (GIS)department organized a munici- pal GIS user's group that meets to share information and help one another.The department also received a state grant to conduct workshops providing technical assistance to local communities on how to best plan for their own GIS needs. Transportation issues continue to be a major concern for local munici- pahties.MAPC works with them to help get their projects ready for the Trans- portation Improvement Program (TIP).The agency recently hosted a public meeting to provide information on the Transportation Enhancement Program so that local governments will have a better chance to make their projects com- petitive.In order to improve air quaUty,the federal and state governments encourage new and creative approaches under what is called the Transportation Demand Management Program.MAPC works with local communities to help them formulate their applications for funding under this program.Additionally, this year the agency introduced Commuter Check,a program that utilizes a fed- eral subsidy to allow employers to provide their employees with a tax free trans- portation benefit.Employers can purchase up to $60 a month per employee in travel vouchers which their workers can use for commuting by bus,boat, subway,train or vanpool.The goal is to reduce the number of single occupancy vehicles on the road,thus improving air quality,conserving energy and easing the overcrowding of the roadways.Any size business can participate. Two other transportation-related programs that MAPC has worked on over the past year are the Greater Boston Clean Cities Initiative and the Regional Bicycle/Pedestrian Committee effort.The Clean Cities Initiative is a national program that assists communities and public agencies in acquiring clean fuel vehicles by assisting with the incremental cost differences between these vehicles and conventional fuel vehicles.Through this program,communities have the opportunity to acquire electric or compressed natural gas vehicles for use in their municipal fleets.The program,through the use of Congestion Mitigation/Air Quality funding in the TIP can subsidize the additional costs associated with purchasing clean fuel vehicles.The group is also working with the private sector to help set up the necessary infrastructure to support these new vehicles.MAPC 184 has acted as the major staff support for the Boston effort.MAPC staff has also been very instrumental in helping with numerous bicycle planning efforts in the area including helping to develop a regional bicycle/pedestrian plan.The agency has assisted the Bicycle Coalition of Massachusetts in setting up a series of public meetings as part of their contract with the state to inventory existing and potential bicycles facilities throughout the state.The staff has also worked with a number of local groups and projects,including:the North Shore Bicycle Coalition,the Assabet River Rail Trail organization,the MetroWest/SWAP bikeway and the Central Mass.Branch feasibility study. MAPC continues to offer its pavement management program to all its com- munities.This year,in an effort to increase efficienty and be more compatible with the other regional planning agencies throughout the state,MAPC has changed the software it uses to VHB's Road Manager.For the first time,the agency hired and trained college students to carry out roadway inspections. This worked very well and the agency intends to continue the practice in the future. The Council has continued its active legislative efforts on behalf of its cities and towns.On the state level,MAPC played an active role in passing, supporting,and/or initiating scores of planning-related efforts,including:the MetropoHtan Highway System,the Open Space Bond bill,the River Protection bill,the MegaBoston bill,the Budget,the Transportation Bond bill,and the Growing Smart legislation.A successful amendment proposed by MAPC to the Metropolitan Highway System bill requires the state to disclose the results of a feasibility study on creating a dedicated funding source for the Central Artery to local municipalities for their review before the state can take any legislative action. This past year,MAPC placed an increasing emphasis on federal legislative priorities.MAPC met individually with six members of the Massachusetts dele- gation to discuss important federal legislative initiatives affecting local and regional efforts,including the Reauthorization of the Economic Development Act (EDA),the Safe Drinking and Clean Water Acts,Housing and Urban Devel- opment (HUD)reform,and the reorganization of the Department of Transpor- tation among the issues. The agency continues to review and comment on Environmental Impact Reports (EIRs)that are seen as having regional impacts.Staff handles hundreds of calls a year asking for information on a wide range of subjects.They also worked with a variety of local planning groups and sponsor or co-sponsor several dozen public meetings a year. The South Shore Coalition has been meeting for over ten years now to discuss issues of mutual concern in the ten-town subregion.Members of the group include:Cohasset,Duxbury,Hanover,Hingham,Hull,Marshfield, Norwell,Rockland,Scituate and Weymouth. This spring the group again held a legislative breakfast for local state legis- lators to discuss topics of concern to the local municipalities.The subregion 185 sent a letter to the two U.S.Senators in support of maintaining the Scituate Coast Guard Station.The group also sent a detailed comment letter to the Sec- retary of EOEA regarding the Greenbush Supplemental DEIR.Among the several issues they addressed were the potential traffic impacts near stations, the implementation of best management practices to control polluted runoff from parking areas,the design of parking lots for public safety and security and noise impact analyses. The South Shore Regional Refuse Disposal Planning Board,which was an outgrowth of the SSC's soUd waste study,was reactivated this year.A full time staff member was hired and the group began meeting every two weeks to work on plans to help the local communities save money on their household hazard- ous waste disposal programs. Until this summer,a special report on coastal issues was part of every meeting.Recent CZM staff changes caused that part of the regular meeting schedule to be eliminated.However,the Local Governance Committee of the Mass Bays Project,which meets monthly in Norwell,keeps the SSC informed of their projects on the south shore. MAPC staff did some research for the town on the role of the local Citi- zens'Advisory Committee members and to whom they report and to whom they are responsible. Respectfully submitted, Martha K.Gjesteby MAPC Representative for Cohasset MOSQUITO CONTROL COMMITTEE The first priority of the Cohasset Mosquito Control Committee (CMCC)is to educate and inform the public about various aspects of mosquito control. From May through September,we received weekly reports from the Virology Division (Eastern EncephaHtis Surveillance Program)of the Massachusetts Department of Public Health concerning the status of vectors associated with Eastern Equine Encephalitis (E.E.E.)found at sites in southeastern Massachu- setts.Our committee periodically submitted this information to local news- papers.Fortunately,in 1995 no human cases of E.E.E.were reported in Massachusetts. As part of our educational program,with the cooperation of the PSO, 650 packets of informational material were distributed in grades K through 5 at 186 the Osgood and Deer Hill Schools.Each packet suggested some activity for children and included information for parents about mosquito control through source reduction,as well as the proper use of mosquito repellents. Source reduction depends upon eliminating breeding sites for mosquitoes. With the enthusiastic cooperation of Jack Buckley,a considerable number of high school students and several townspeople,we initiated a reclamation project to reduce mosquito breeding sites along James Brook between Sohier Street and Smith Place,and also in the area near Sanctuary Pond.We hope to continue this reclamation project in 1996. We also estabhshed an information "packet"station in Town Hall.These packets contain invaluable recent materials furnished by the Massachusetts De- partment of Public Health and other organizations,such as the Massachusetts Audubon Society.The packets provide information on remedial and preventive steps in mosquito control,precautions about pesticide use,and proper applica- tion of repellents. The CMCC urges citizens to report mosquito problems to us so that we can take individual action in dealing with both nuisance problems and those related to health.Please call the Cohasset Board of Health (383-9900,Ext.221) to report such problems.The CMCC will respond to every call. An important goal in 1996 is to minimize the use of chemical pesticides (e.g.,Resmethrin)by reducing mosquito breeding sites.Chemical pesticides may be especially harmful to infants,children and the elderly.Spraying with chemical pesticides would,of course,be necessary if E.E.E.were declared by the Governor and the Massachusetts Board of Health to be a serious threat. We also recommend increased use of larvicides (biological agents such as Bacillus thuringiensis israehi [Bti]),which are harmless to humans and pets. Such larvicides,applied at appropriate times,prevent the development of the adults mosquitoes that cause nuisance problems. Since it is the policy of the Plymouth County Mosquito Control Project to respond to requests from individuals who wish to have their property sprayed for nuisance control,we strongly recommend that neighbors be notified of the expected date and time of spraying so that they may take defensive precautions, such as closing windows and keeping children indoors.

The Project is a special district created by the State Legislature in 1957 and is now composed of 25 Plymouth County towns,the City of Brockton,and the Town of Cohasset in Norfolk County.The Project is a regional response to a regional problem and provides a way of organizing specialized equipment, specially trained employees,and mosquito control professionals into a single agency with a broad geographical area of responsibility. Again in 1995,the season began with an above normal water table which produced large numbers of spring brood mosquitoes throughout the County. Efforts were directed at larval mosquitoes starting with the spring brood. Ground and Aerial larviciding was accomplished using B.t.i.,an environmentally selective bacterial agent.Upon emergence of the spring brood of adult mos- quitoes,ultra-low-volume adulticiding began.The Project responded to service requests until a drying trend occurred during mid-summer.All sprayers and trucks performed well with little time lost to breakdowns. The threat of the mosquito-transmitted disease Eastern Equine Encepha- litis (EEE)was low in 1995.This season marked the second consecutive year since 1981 that EEE virus was not isolated during the mosquito surveillance period.A certificate of recognition was presented on September 21,1995,to the Massachusetts Mosquito Control Association for continued cooperation and coordination with the Department of Public Health in providing surveillance of Eastern Equine EncephaHtis. The figures specific to the Town of Cohasset are given below.While mosquitoes do not respect town lines,the information given below does provide a tally of the activities which have had the greatest impact on the health and comfort of Cohasset residents. Insecticide Application.1,255 acres were treated using truck mounted sprayers for control of adult mosquitoes.More than one application was made to the same site if mosquitoes reinvaded the area.The first treatments were made in May and the last in September. Our greatest effort has been targeted at mosquitoes in the larval stage, which can be found in woodland pools,swamps,marshes and other standing water areas.Inspectors continually gather data on these sites and treat with highly specific larvicides when immature mosquitoes are present.Last year a total of 1 1 1 inspections were made to 80 catalogued breeding sites. Water Management.During 1995 crews removed blockages,brush and other obstructions from 540 linear feet of ditches and streams to prevent over- flows or stagnation that can result in mosquito breeding.This work,together with machine reclamation,is most often carried out in the fall and winter. 192 Machine Reclamation.50 linear feet of saltmarsh ditch was reconstructed in Cohasset using one of the Project's two track driven backhoes. Finally,we have been tracking complaint response time,that is,the time between notice of a mosquito problem and response by one of our inspectors. The complaint response time in the Town of Cohasset was less than two days, with more than 126 complaints answered. Mosquito Survey.A systematic sampling for the mosquitoes in Cohasset indicates that CoquUlettidia perturbans was the most abundant species.Other species collected included Culex pipiens and Uranotaenia sapphirina. We encourage citizens or municipal officials to call our office for informa- tion about mosquitoes,mosquito-borne diseases,control practices,or any other matters of concern. Respectfully submitted, Kenneth W.Ludlam,Ph.D.,Superintendent Commissioners: Carolyn Brennan,Chairman Robert A.Thorndike,Vice Chairman Leighton F.Peck,Jr.,Secretary William J.Mara Alice A.Pratt RECYCLING COMMITTEE Recycling continues successfully.All materials recycled in past years continue,with oil and oil filters added. A state grant provided the Town with a wood frame building for storage and recycling of paint.It is estimated that approximately 80%of hazardous waste collected annually is made up of paint products.By recycling latex paint, we expect to help reduce the expense of hazardous waste objection.Members of the Recycling Committee continue to research ways to improve recycling. Annual School Day continues with a tour of the Recycling Transfer Facility by four classes in the spring.Last year some eighty children learned first hand what recycling is all about in Cohasset. 193 Cohasset was cited for its outstanding recycling efforts,placing third among Massachusetts cities and towns in 1994. For 1995 our recycling percentage was 38%of total trash.The state's goal is 42%by the year 2000. The Committee is again pleased with cooperation townspeople show in recycling.We pledge our support to continue our successful trend. Respectfully submitted, Arthur L.Lehr,Jr.,Chairman Merle S.Brown John F.Hubbard Mix P.White David Bigley Luther S.Leighton Eunice L.Brownell Glen Tracy SOUTH SHORE REGIONAL REFUSE DISPOSAL PLANNING BOARD The South Shore Regional Refuse Disposal Planning Board has one to three members,appointed by the Town Moderator,from each of these ten towns:Cohasset,Duxbury,Hanover,Hingham,Hull,Marshfield,Norwell, Rockland,Scituate and Weymouth,At present there is only one member from Cohasset. 1995 was a year of substantial progress for the Board,which approved formal Bylaws,adopted a vision/mission statement,elected a slate of officers, hired a full time soHd waste planner,and issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for regional household hazardous waste collection services. During 1995,the Board's activities received inquiries from a number of other towns in the area,including Braintree,Plymouth,Halifax,Kingston,and Pembroke,about joining the Board and participating in regional solid waste efforts. As Cohasset's representative,I contributed to the work of the Board by serving as Chairman of the Bylaws Subcommittee and authoring the Bylaws that were adopted unanimously by the Board,and by serving on the Selection Sub- committee for regional household hazardous waste services. Since all of the towns in the Board's service area appear to have made suf- ficient provision for disposal of municipal soUd waste for the foreseeable future, the Board's efforts at present are being directed to assisting the member towns 194 with developing regional solutions for effectively diverting recyclables and other materials from the waste stream to better protect the environment and to (hope- fully)provide more cost effective materials collection and diversion methods for the member towns. The Board has been able to be effective on behalf of the ten member towns because of the participation of the representatives from each town,and also because of the employment of a full-time solid waste planner,Carol Swete, who has been hired this year through a grant from the Department of Environ- mental Protection.We are hopeful,with a contribution of less than $5,000 during the next fiscal year from each member town,that we will be able to keep this valuable professional assistance for at least an additional year. Cohasset has been in the forefront of recycling for decades and has one of the most successful municipal recycling programs in Massachusetts.As the smallest town in the Board's service area,we may be able to realize some bene- fits from entering into regional programs,where appropriate,for collection and disposal of recyclables and other materials. The South Shore Regional Refuse Disposal Planning Board,after about a decade of inaction and indecision,has finally developed the program and re- sources to provide effective regional cooperation on sohd waste disposal for South Shore communities.With the continued support of each of the member towns,I am hopeful that the Board can continue to develop regional solutions to soUd waste issues. Respectfully submitted, JohnK.McNabb,Jr. Cohasset Member WATER RESOURCES PROTECTION COMMITTEE During 1995 the Water Resources Protection Committee continued its efforts,pursuant to the mandate of Town Meeting under Article 46 of the 1994 Annual Town Meeting,to investigate potential sources of pollution of our sources of public water supply,review the 1986 Camp Dresser &McKee Water Resources Management Plan,study feasible means of regional watershed protec- tion,and to present a report at Town Meeting. This Committee consists of four citizens appointed by the Board of Select- men,and ex-officio representatives from the Drainage Advisory Committee, Conservation Commission,Board of Health,Planning Board,and Water Commis- sion. 195 At the 1995 Annual Town Meeting,the Committee was successful in pass- ing Article 27 to provide $3,500 for spill control equipment.The Fire Chief has purchased,pursuant to this Article,the booms,absorbent materials,salvage drums,and other spill control equipment which should better prepare the Town to respond to an oil spill that might threaten Lily Pond,our primary source of public drinking water. Another warrant article,Article 25,proposed by the Committee to pro- hibit motorboating or other activities on Lily Pond which would tend to con- taminate the water supply,was defeated by Town Meeting.The Committee has been discussing this issue with the Water Commission and is hopeful that, where appropriate,water supply protection authority will be established through the Water Department regulations.Article 26,to create the position of Water Resource Protection Officer,was withdrawn by the Committee for further dis- cussion. An appropriate forum for regional water supply protection discussions with neighboring towns was established when the Metropolitan Area Planning Commission,with the support of the Cohasset Board of Selectmen and this Committee,received a 604(b)water quality planning grant from the Depart- ment of Environmental Protection to study local water supply protection regulations,bylaws,and policies under the direction of a grant management committee representing the ten towns in the South Shore CoaUtion.At the time of this report,that grant had not yet been received but was expected in early 1996,when it is hoped that the grant will finally be received and that regional watershed protection discussions can begin. The South Shore Coalition was successful in getting all member towns to sign onto the Memorandum of Agreement for the South Shore Water Supply Protection Advisory Committee,which could be another forum for these needed regional water protection discussions. The Committee kept track of,and submitted relevant comments on,a number of potential or existing threats to the sources of water supply,including the proposed expansion of the Cohasset Heights Ltd.landfill,the Hingham Annex hazardous waste site,and the Wompatuck State Park Army restoration project.The Committee also submitted a comment on the environmental impact report for the Greenbush train restoration project and noted its concerns that potential adverse effects from the train restoration be appropriately miti- gated.

With Town Meeting funding,what was formerly the Police radio dispatch center was upgraded to accommodate radio equipment to handle Fire Depart- ment frequencies.A new Fire radio,command consoles for two work stations, and the E91 1 telephones,recording devices,and related hardware were installed to provide a modern facility to handle the combined fire,police and ambulance communications traffic.When installing the new equipment,it became apparent that a long-standing problem of poor transmissions in certain areas of Town needed to be addressed.With cooperation of the Massachusetts Highway Department,a radio was installed at its facility to transmit signals from that location. Installation of carpeting and a suspended ceiling further enhanced the ability to monitor communications from various agencies,particularly during times of busy radio traffic. Staffing the new department was a major priority,and the Committee received about 100 applications for the full-and part-time communications officer positions.All newly hired dispatchers passed the required E911 course provided through NYNEX and the State Emergency Telecommunications Board. They were provided with in-house training in handling Police and Fire Depart- ment calls. The long awaited implementation of E911 on June 7 brought its first call "a successful incident response to a call that could not have been traced without this new technology. This Committee,ever mindful of the need for rapid emergency response, hopes to continue to improve the professionalism of its personnel and looks forward to the implementation of the public safety computer system.The com- puter will eliminate manual logging of calls that can be difficult for dispatchers to handle when faced with simultaneous incidents,or those which require a multi-departmental response. Finally,the Committee wishes to thank Wiring Superintendent Stephen Wigmore,Building Inspector Robert Egan,Police Officer Richard Yocum,and Firefighter WiUiam Protulis for their technical assistance in upgrading our 197 equipment and facilities.Tlie Police Officers and Firefighters who availed them- selves of E911 training and enthusiastically assisted in training the new dispat- chers also deserve our gratitude. We look forward to 1996,knowing that the most intensive part of this program's development is behind us,with the ongoing challenge to meet the public's higher expectation level for this important service. Respectfully submitted, Gregory J.Doyon,Chairman Roger W.Lincoln,Fire Chief Brian W.Noonan,Police Chief EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT 1995 was an uneventful year for emergencies in Cohasset.A Northeaster in December buried our Town and caused considerable expense to our Highway Department for snow removal.High tides and wind did not develop to the extent that we needed to evacuate any citizens from their homes.Various departments were prepared and ready for such need. The American Red Cross estabHshed an evacuation center at the High School,but its services were not required. It was a very quiet and dry year and emergencies requiring outside assist- ance did not materialize. Town employees again responded in a professional manner to situations as they arose. Respectfully submitted, Arthur L.Lehr,Jr. Emergency Manager 198 FIRE DEPARTMENT I hereby submit the Annual Report of the Cohasset Fire Department for the year ending December 31,1 995 .

Firefighter James P.Runey was promoted to the rank of Fire Captain, effective September 27,1995. 199 EQUIPMENT Two valuable pieces of equipment were installed at Fire Headquarters during 1995: A new emergency electric generator to replace a thirty -year-old unit,and an Exhaust Removal System to protect employees from the harmful effects of diesel and gasoline exhaust.Both units were authorized by the 1994 Annual Town Meeting. TRAINING Eleven of the Fire Department's Emergency Medical Technicians were certified in the use of Epiniphrine Auto-Injectors."Epi-pens,"as they are commonly referred to,are used for the emergency treatment of severe allergic reactions to insect stings and bites,foods,drugs and other allergins. In conclusion,I would like to extend to the citizens of Cohasset,the Board of Selectmen and the heads and members of the Town departments and committees my sincere thanks and appreciation for their assistance. To all of the Officers and Firefighters of the Department for their dedica- tion and performance of duties,my sincere thanks and appreciation. Respectfully submitted, Roger W.Lincoln,Chief 200 ] i HARBOR DEPARTMENT The transition between Harbor Masters took place in a smooth manner, thanks to the able assistance of Town Administrator Gregory Doyon and Assist- ant Harbor Master Robert Baggs. The fall season gave us many storms with high winds and severe rain,with no significant amount of damage,I look forward to working with the Board of Selectmen and Townspeople during the 1996 boating season.

Wire Inspections All work performed by contractors working in Town was inspected by the department and fees collected were recorded and turned over to the Town Treasurer. Electrical Installations and Repairs to Town Buildings All electrical work and repairs to Town-owned buildings and properties were performed by the Wire Department. I wish to thank all department heads for their cooperation with the de- partment,and to the persons who v/orked with me this past year. Respectfully submitted, Stephen F.Wigmore,Superintendent 203 PUBLIC WORKS CEMETERY STUDY COMMITTEE Summary The CSC is pursuing the Beechwood Upgrade/Expansion Project in parallel with solving the long term site requirements (New facility -25 year capability). This is a change in strategy from the committee's previous phased approach. The committee expects to be in a position to request required approvals for the new facilities at the April Town Meeting. Current Status Beechwood Upgrade /Expansion Project: Engineering design proposals have been solicited and received from two companies. The proposals outline the engineering costs required to complete design development documents essential to permitting and construction of the proposed upgrade/expansion.The proposed expansion is based on the June 1988 plan to extend the existing facility by 280 graves. The CSC expects to act on these proposals by November 28,1995,which would support physical work beginning in early summer 1996.This is certainly contingent upon obtaining local/state board approvals and addi- tional funding if required. New Facility —Town-owned land off Route 3 A: Preliminary studies are under way which focus on Town-owned land off Route 3 A.This parcel (4 IB)is essentially between the Stop and Shop parking area and additional Town-owned land bordering the Deer Hill School property.The parcel is bounded to the north and south by resi- dential private property.The Town maintains a right of way to Route 3A;however,significant wetlands are involved. This parcel has been previously proposed;however,difficult access issues associated with the 3 A right of way were not able to be reconciled. The CSC is conducting preliminary studies which focus on accessing the parcel from Sohier Street.Options under consideration include a private property purchase/swap (3A end of Sohier)or gaining access from the westerly side of the Deer Hill School property. 204 The studies are extremely preliminary at this point.This is,again,cer- tainly contingent upon obtaining applicable local/state board approvals and required funding.The target schedule for physical work would be late 1996 to early 1997. Respectfully submitted, Joseph L.Jerz,Chairman Nancy C.Snowdale (resigned 6/30/95) James H.Gilman Julianna D.Hassan Joseph M.Curley Glenn A.Pratt GOVERNMENT ISLAND STUDY COMMITTEE Forty -nine years ago the Town of Cohasset bought for $29,000.00 7.37 acres of ledge,woods,marsh and a small field.It was called Gulf Island,Doanes Island,or Government Island,depending on how old you were/are.These acres contain,reflect,give to you,if you choose to look and think,a lot of history. The Town is fortunate to be able to call it our property —our piece of history. This piece of history is overseen by a committee,the Government Island Study Committee,a group of seven individuals (volunteers)who give their time to make this piece of history interesting to you and your visitors.This group recommends things to be done to the Board of Selectmen who,in turn,will have it done,or if it is a major project requiring a vote of the Townspeople, will bring it to you at Town Meeting to accept or reject.You have been very receptive to our suggestions.The Committee wishes to thank you for your vote of confidence. IXiring 1995 there were suggestions made to the Chairman by different members as to corrections needed:signs to be put up,improvements recom- mended and,in general,day-to-day actions to keep the Island presentable. These were passed on to the Board of Selectmen which processed them.This system works,but the Committee feels the need to improve this communication, so it is putting into effect specific meeting dates.Whether they are to be monthly,bi-monthly or quarterly is yet to be determined. 205 We feel that Government Island is one of Cohasset's greatest assets,histori- cally,commercially and recreationally.We hope you will take some time to visit the area yourself with your visitors and enjoy it,to sit quietly and absorb the history that is there. Respectfully submitted, Hamilton T.Tewksbury,Chairman Constance M.Afshar Richard P.Barrow James R.Bonetti Robert M.Davenport Noel A.Ripley John H.Winters III,Harbor Master (ex-officio) HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT Due to a fairly mild winter at the beginning of the year,the Highway De- partment was able to begin the road sweeping program early.Every street was swept clean of sand and general debris.During the following months the sweeper was out frequently,keeping our streets clean. With monies appropriated at Town Meeting,we replaced 1,500 feet of fence at various locations.This will be an ongoing project.Also,with monies appropriated at Town Meeting,the drainage ditches along Atlantic Avenue were cleaned. In conjunction with the Tree &Park Department,we dug up the old track at Milliken Field and then loamed and reseeded the entire area. While the weather remained good,we replaced the railing next to the Teen Center.We then installed a new 4'piece of 15"galvanized pipe with a new flapper at Margin Street. 1995 was a busy year for road repairs and resurfacing.Using our own men and machines,we resurfaced various secondary roads and sidewalks with 447 tons of asphalt. With monies received from the State,we were able to resurface sections of Pond Street,King Street,Beechwood Street and Linden Drive. We constructed new islands at King Street,Forest Avenue and Linden Drive.We rebuilt six basins. 206 During bad weather we were in the garage repairing and repainting signs around Town.We also built twelve new sets of sawhorses that have been used many times during flooding and storm situations and at other events where needed. The year ended with snowstorms beginning in November that kept us busy.My thanks to the men from the Highway and Tree &Park Departments, and the hired contractors for keeping our roads clear for safe travel. Respectfully submitted, Harold W.Litchfield Highway Surveyor SEWER COMMISSION As noted in the 1994 Annual Town Report,the Town and the Common- wealth entered into a new Agreement for Judgment on November 8,1994, ("the New Agreement").The New Agreement permits the Town to evaluate three alternatives for the resolution of its wastewater treatment and disposal problems as follows: —The Hull Alternative —The James Brook Alternative —The Cohasset Harbor Alternative Details of the three alternatives are provided in the 1994 Annual Town Report. The Town's engineer for the evaluation of the Alternatives,Tutela Engin- eering Associates Incorporated ("TEA"),has proceeded as stipulated in the New Agreement.At this point in the evaluation of the alternatives,it is the opinion of TEA that at least one of the Cohasset alternatives would be "approvable"by the Commonwealth. In the course of the TEA study for the entire Town,it has become appar- ent that the highest environmental priority within the Town is the Straits Pond area which has been designated by the Commonwealth as an ACEC (Area of Critical Environmental Concern).The Town of Hull shares Straits Pond with Cohasset and,therefore,both towns are concerned that the immediate area should be sewered.To this end,an Intermunicipal Agreement ("IMA")is in the process of negotiation between the two towns.Under this IMA,wastewater from the Cohasset side of Straits Pond would be pumped to Hull for treatment in the Hull wastewater treatment plant.The Commissioners expect that the IMA will be signed by both parties early in 1996 and that both towns will be asked to vote on the IMA at their respective 1996 Annual Town Meetings. 207 The Sewer System Evaluation Survey ("SSES")noted in the 1994 Annual Town Report has been completed by the Town's engineer for this project, Whitman &Howard ("WH").WH has located and identified sources of inflow and infiltration (leakage)in the Town's collector system.At the Special Town Meeting on November 6,1995,the Town voted the funds to repair the major sources of leakage in the system.The Sewer Commissioners expect that these repairs will be completed by mid-summer of 1996. The Town's operation and maintenance contractor.Professional Services Group,Incorporated,continues to provide outstanding service to the Town. Respectfully submitted, Edward M.Guild,Chairman Henry A.Rattenbury R.Gary Vanderweil TREE,PARK AND CEMETERY DEPARTMENT Due to an extremely dry summer,the Tree and Park Department concen- trated on removing dead and diseased trees and maintaining road sides.We planted trees and shrubs behind the backstop at Beechwood Ball Park,which improves the scenery immeasurably.We also planted trees in the newly con- structed islands on Linden Drive. In conjunction with the Highway Department,we overseeded the track at Milliken Field.We installed temporary fence at this site and made other improvements.We painted chain link fencing at both the Joseph Osgood School and Beechwood Ball Park. Most of November and December were spent with the Highway Depart- ment removing snow. Thanks to the men of the other Town departments for their continued cooperation. Respectfully submitted, Peter G.Laugelle,Superintendent 208 WATER COMMISSIONERS Contract Services On July 1,1995,Cohasset Water Services (a joint venture of Western and Sampson Services and Pennichuk Water Service Co.)began contract service operations of the Cohasset Water System.Cohasset Water Services hired Dick Cohan as superintendent and offered positions to all Cohasset Water Department employees.Three employees chose not to accept positions with Cohasset Water Services. Water Distribution Improvements 5,800 feet of water main was installed during the summer of 1995 on Forest Avenue,including fifteen new fire hydrants.Other phase one improve- ments completed included the replacement of 800 feet of eight-inch pipe under Atlantic Avenue at Cunningham's bridge and in Beechwood the replacement of 2,400 feet from Riverview Drive to the ballfield.At the water plant the filter media of three filter beds were replaced to improve water quahty.Cleaning of the storage tank interior was postponed until 1996 due to com.plications in re- moving the sediment.The altitude valve repairs at the storage tank were also completed.The backflow prevention program completed 153 surveys.Fifty- four violations were recorded,of which 32 remain to be corrected.Phase two improvements will begin in the spring of 1996 with the replacement or relining of various pipes in the system. Meter Replacement Replacing and upgrading all of the water meters throughout the Town began in January 1996 with the idea of improving billing and eliminating esti- mated and inaccurate bills.These meters will be read from outside readers con- nected to the meters inside the buildings. At the close of fiscal year 1995,over $100,000 was repaid to the Town of Cohasset of the debt owed from the Water Department.For the year 1995 the plant production was 270,706,640 gallons out to distribution.The Water Com- missioners and Cohasset Water Services would like to thank all of the various boards and committees that have assisted the department and the board through- out the year.The board will continue to seek to improve the system for the benefit of all of the ratepayers and taxpayers. Respectfully submitted, Frederick R.Koed,Chairman Robert E.Kasameyer,Secretary William J.Montuori 209 HUMAN SERVICES COUNCIL ON AGING The Council on Aging has been in existence as a Town department by way of unanimous voice vote since the Spring Annual Town Meeting 1968.Our mission remains the same today as in 1968.That is to provide assistance in maintaining the independence of older individuals in their own community for as long as it is safely possible.We have tried to accomplish this goal through services that include health,education,recreation,advocacy,and resources for the older adults of Cohasset and their families. During the past year (July 1994 -June 1995)the Council on Aging reached a record number of different individuals sixty years or older who parti- cipated in Council activities through its programs and public relations efforts. Over 941 individuals received 11,109 units of services via the aging network and support systems.This effort was also reinforced by news in the Council's monthly newsletter "THE VISTA." The year began with the Council on Aging receiving word that the Gover- nor had recommended a major increase in the local Council's budget line item that comes from the Massachusetts Executive Office of Elder Affairs (EOEA). After a long and difficult six years of struggling and stretching every nickel,it was welcome news to all Councils across the State.Much of the credit goes to Rep.Mary Jeanette Murray (Cohasset)and Rep.Paul Haley (Weymouth)for supporting and assisting in the passage of the amendment on the House Floor. Other accomplishments in 1995 included: 1.We enjoyed participation in the Cohasset Food Pantry by donating produce grown in our Community Garden.The Council on Aging entered its fourth year of the SHARE program.During the past 12 months an average of 35 persons per month received 50 food packages at a retail value of $35.00 (for only $13 each)and donated 900 hours of service to the community,with a value of $10,500.The real success of the program goes to the person most in- volved,co-sponsor of the SHARE Program Mr.John Kierce,a true community leader. 2.For the third year in a row the Council on Aging was given a small grant of $8,500 from the Area Agency on Aging to continue a Medical Access Transportation program.This program has been operated under the South South Elder Services and is specifically designed to assist Cohasset elders with transportation into Boston area Hospitals who are unable to access any other means of transportation due to their health problems.Fortunately,in October we did get extra funds to cover the shortfalls in transportation.This MAP project is part of a five-town consortium that includes Cohasset which received $12,500 to cover the next fiscal year. 210 3.The SHINE Program (Serving Health Information Needs Of Elders) has completed its eighth successful year working out of Cohasset's office.The program has twelve SHINE councilors.From July 1994 to June 1995,council- ors served 333 individuals and provided over 377 hours to the clients they serve.Of those,89 unduplicated Cohasset residents were served by the pro- grams.Counselors are trained to handle HMO inquiries,Medicare,Medicap, long term Health and Insurance questions,and the most pressing issues around sales abuse of older people.The Program has been funded for eight years under a grant from the Executive Office of Elder Affairs. 4.In January we received notification of a first time grant from the Executive Office of Elder Affairs (EOEA)to fund the position of Volunteer Coordinator.Pat Ryan had been designated as the Coordinator.This grant requires the Council to recruit,train and supervise volunteers,as well as develop new programs for homebound elder men and women.We have held training and recruitment for existing programs like transportation and senior luncheons. These two programs specifically have lost significant numbers and are in need of replacements. The fiscal year (July 1994 -June 1995)ended with 149 volunteers con- tributing 13,187 hours of service directly benefiting the Council on Aging,at an estimatedvalue of $121,701. 5.The luncheon program is once again supported by the Formula Grant and Title 111-B from South Shore Elder Services.Lindsay Guild manages the two days a week luncheon and Margaret Casey planned wonderful programs at- tracting new people coming to the luncheons.The program served 120 undupli- cated people and 2,275 duplicated people. The senior center provides multiple weekly classes and activities with a variety of special monthly programs,prevention screenings and assistance with insurance,taxes,and other problems.Our newsletter is sent to the home of every resident sixty years and older and may be requested by others.We enjoy offering the means of communication and hope everyone learns by it in some form or another. During 1996 the Council looks forward to continued improvement to the quality of service to the older population here in Cohasset.We invite the public to drop in to the Senior Center,3 North Main Street,between 8:30 am and 4:30 pm. We would like to take this opportunity to express our thanks and appre- ciation to the board,staff and volunteers who are the backbone of this opera- tion,the "Friends"for their financial support,the Community Center staff and 211 the many other Town departments which have supported us in many ways over the past year.

The Town is rich in historic and beautiful buildings and the more empha- sis that is placed on them the more they will be preserved and maintained in their original condition.It is important that additions and alterations are in the same period as the original structure and in keeping with the integrity of the building. Ham Tewksbury and Wig Pierson have done a good job in keeping the sales of "T"shirts and other Minot Light memorabilia active.All of the money received from sales goes to the Minot Light replica on Goverrmient Island.Ham Tewksbury is working on acquiring the original Fresnal lens for the replica. That will be a great addition to the restoration project. Becky Bates McArthur and Barbara Dillon are working on grade school programs for this spring.There is a great deal that can be done in making school children aware of the Town's history.The tour of the grave sites at Central Cemetery is also planned for this spring. 212 We meet the second Monday of the month at the Town Hall at 7:30 p.m. We welcome visitors and input from concerned citizens.Our main goal is to maintain the flavor and historical integrity of the Town of Cohasset.

Another issue centered around the construction of a new school. The Commission on Disabilities keeps informed about laws concerning the disabled and houses information on disability issues. The Chairman of the Commission would like to thank the members of the Commission for their outstanding service during the past year.

Two to three hundred residents came into the library each day,and more than 70%of Cohasset's men,women and children are active borrowers.The Hbrary is open 53 hours a week during most of the school year and 50 hours in warmer weather.Its collection of roughly 50,000 books,200 magazines,35 CD-ROMs, and access to the collections of all the libraries in Massachusetts were provided for less than 2%of Cohasset's annual operating budget! The library's top job is providing library service.With a building 90 years old,however,trustees and staff have continued to spend large chunks of time and energy,and the taxpayers'money,on needed maintenance projects.The '90s also find all hbraries trying to understand and to catch up with the elec- tronic age.Massachusetts'Board of Library Commissioners has,in recent years,taken a leadership role in asking the Legislature to provide funds and structure for effective sharing of the resources of libraries in the Commonwealth. A current bill,not yet passed,will implement a strategic plan for all libraries in Massachusetts —public,private and school —that promises economic and effi- cient use of resources to underwrite a first-rate library system for the Common- wealth. Cohasset's Electronic Library.Change in the way business is done in Cohasset's library reflects the particular applicability of electronics and com- puters to an institution that is concerned primarily with information.The hbrary is able to take advantage of the many possibilities afforded by technology through membership in the Old Colony Library Network,a group of 25 hbraries in the area from Plymouth to Quincy.For instance,the Paul Pratt Memorial Library has both electronic circulation and catalog systems tied in to those of the 24 other OCLN Hbraries.Daily book deliveries among OCLN Hbraries means rapid access for Cohasset users to any holding in the Network.In 1995,OCLN added a data base which indexes 2,375 magazines and provides full text of 350 magazines.Access to the Internet via OCLN wiU be available on one terminal at the Cohasset library in January 1996. This year a PC dedicated to CD-ROM has been added in the Reading Room.It was a very generous gift of the Friends of the Cohasset Library.The PC has a CD "changer"with seven CDs loaded for immediate use,and staff can provide users with any other of the library's growing coUection of CD-ROMs on request.Entire encyclopedias can fit on one CD-ROM,which gives some idea of the quantities of information available in this media. There is no doubt that Cohasset library's use of computers and the elec- tronic flow of information will increase substantially,but the printed word will continue to be the Hbrary's most important product for the foreseeable future. Maintenance Projects.Since the library is a public institution,numerous laws govern the way maintenance projects must be handled.These procedures, 214 undoubtedly enacted to protect the public,nonethless make every project a very time-consuming one.The public bidding requirement,which strongly favors the low bidder,means a great deal of time must be spent in writing very exacting specifications in order to ensure the quality of the job.Since it is not reahstic to hire experts to write these specifications,the Chief Librarian and trustees must research and draft the documents which are used in the bidding process.The result is that "getting things done"seems to take forever. In 1995,however several projects were completed.The building's roofs, gutters and downspouts were brought up to satisfactory condition,with two new flat roofs and repairs to the library's slate roof.Extensive work was done on the gutters and downspouts.Restoration of the Maclver Reddie murals in the rotunda,an original gift of Charlotte Tower,Cohasset's librarian from 1934 to 1947,was made possible by a generous gift of the Pilgrim Cooperative Bank. This restoration was completed by professional restorers Liz Crosby of Scituate and Elise Brink of Brookline.The Pilgrim Cooperative Bank also funded restora- tion of the face of the library's clock,which was done by David Hassan. Completion of the roof work will now permit the cupola restoration, begun in 1994,to be finished.Bids for masonry repair to the library building were much higher than the amount of money appropriated,and it was decided to invite bids in the spring,rather than the fall. Unbearable heat in the library occurs during the summer's hottest days. With the library open to the heat during the days and closed up during the cooler nights,httle respite occurs once the building gets hot.An unusually hot 1995 summer,with the library having to close for two days,led the trustees to consider air conditioning for the library.The November 6,1995,Special Town Meeting approved a $5,000 engineering study which would result in the design and specifications for air conditioning the entire library in sufficient detail for use in going out to bid.The 1996 Annual Town Meeting will consider funding this improvement. The Endowment.A generous bequest from the estate of the late John J. Fleming,Parker Avenue,added $25,575 to the library's endowment.The trustees approved its Investment Advisory Committee's recommendations for the library's approximate $500,000 endowment to remain invested in Vanguard STAR and Scudder International mutual funds.The trustees also approved a continued,conservative "take-out"rate of 4%of a three-year average value, which provided $14,952 to the library's 1995 operating budget. The Friends of the Cohasset Library.Cohasset's library is much enhanced by Friends and volunteers.During 1995,volunteers gave about 50 hours a week, saving Cohasset roughly $30,000.In addition,under Suzan Redgate's leader- ship,the Friends provided hbrary users with museum passes,art exhibits in the reference room,a book sale in May that netted $865,wall coverboard to protect the walls for hanging art,book marks,funds for the library's summer reading and puzzle club programs,and an Appreciation Night and gift for library volun- teers.The Friends'most significant 1995 gift,however,was the PC with CD- ROM changer,and 8 CD-ROMs,as mentioned earlier,located in the Reading 215 Room.The Friends also take responsibility for the Library Corner in the weekly Cohasset Mariner.Many Cohasset residents respond generously to the Friends'annual membership drive which underwrites these valuable projects for the library. Other Gifts.In addition to the generosity of the Pilgrim Cooperative Bank mentioned above,the bequest of John J.Fleming and the Friends'many gifts, Joanne Chittick gave the library a large watercolor for the Children's Room, Lucille McLoughlin gave a pass to the "Plimouth Plantation"to the library,and SoftKey International Inc.of Cambridge donated 15 of its CD-ROMs to the library.Trustee Anne Bowdoin gave workshops to the public on use of the computer terminals to find books. Thoughtful gifts to the Memorial Book Fund from individuals and organi- zations sponsored the purchase of 20 fine books dedicated to the memory of loved ones.A Ust of memorial books is on view in the Gift Book in the Reading Room. Additional gifts were made to the Elizabeth F.Eaton and James L.Whelan Funds.The funds,which make up the library's endowment and their values on September 30,1995,are: PAUL PRATT MEMORIAL LIBRARY ENDOWMENT Memorial Fund,Year Established Value September 30,1995 1.Alexander Williams,1901 $1,972 2.Susannah L.Stoddard,1903 19,544 3.Alice Appleton Knowles,1908 7,812 4.Mary L.Williams,1913 7,812 5.Horace W.Wadleigh,1914 19,544 6.Edith Mason Bates,1930 7,812 7.Florence N.Bates,1944 18,544 8.Fabian Fall,1945 19,544 9.Evelyn B.Wood,1983 22,726 10.Nantasket Memorial Library,1987 59,903 11.Herbert Tilden Stoddard,1987 38,756 12.Ruth Sears Chute,1987 44,965 13.Mercie Vinal Nichols,1989 169,050 14.Elizabeth Barrett,1992 6,350 15.Frederick L.Good,Jr.,1993 1,776 16.Elizabeth F.Eaton,1993 10,842 17.Paul Pratt Memorial Library,1993 9,494 18.James L.Whelan,1994 3,177 19.John J.Fleming,1995 26,639 Total Value $496,262 Conclusion.Library users were fortunate that the 2^/4%Override Vote passed in May,permitting continued library operation on a six-day (five in sum- 216 mer)schedule.Cohasset seems to love its library,which has a contagious effect on all who work at it and for it.While these current years are challenging ones for all libraries,I believe that Richard Hayes,Chief Librarian,his excellent staff, and your elected trustees,have matters well in hand to assure the library's future.As always,however,the trustees and staff welcome any ideas you may have that might make the Paul Pratt Memorial Library even better. Respectfully submitted, Sheila S.Evans,Chairman Paul Pratt Memorial Library Trustees RECREATION COMMISSION It gives us great pleasure to report to residents the activities of their Recreation Commission for the year 1995. During the year approximately 6,900 individuals of all ages participated in a variety of structured programs,activities and events.While budget restric- tions persist,continuing latitude of use of the Revolving Account Fund for 100%Self-Supporting Programs has been possible due to the legislative modifi- cation of the RAF laws and guidelines.Currently,all but two programs are RAF sponsored,causing no impact on taxpayers. The Recreation Commission adopted an Administrative Service Fee charge to all RAF programs during Fiscal Year 1992,and this financial system con- tinues to reimburse taxpayers for the cost and time encumbrances of RAF Pro- gram operations.That is,the ASF revenues are deposited into the General Fund of the Town.Collectively,it is the revenue produced via Administrative Service fees,coupled with the budget sponsored programs,that reimburses tax- payers for the budget of their Recreation Commission.Only revenue on deposit in the General Fund can be considered recapitalization revenue. During Fiscal Year 1995,the Recreation Commission produced for the General Fund $70,158.80.Concurrently,during the same period,$94,095.63 was transacted via Revolving Account Funds for 100%self-supporting programs via fees charged to participants for a variety of services.Another $59,160.00 was transacted via other self-supporting financial systems,manifesting a collec- tive $223,414.43 of recreational services to residents from the budget of the Commission.These figures do not include the thousands of man-hours that are annually donated by hundreds of residents in support of a variety of program operations,nor approximately $3,000.00 in grants/donations. 217 Municipal recreation is for the benefit of all residents and we continue to direct our efforts towards assurance of equal access and opportunity to the entire community.To this end,a specific and calculated portion of revenue was not collected this year from residents who were temporarily unable to pay full fee charges for services.In many instances,time was volunteered in lieu of full fee payments,benefiting the department and participants of programs. Programming represents only one of the responsibilities,duties and func- tions prescribed and conferred upon the Recreation Commission by both Massa- chusetts General Laws and By-Laws of the Town.Continuing efforts are focused upon upgrading and renovating existing outdoor recreational facilities under jurisdiction of the Commission. It has been and continues to be through a blending of private and public resources and funding that most facilities have been upgraded and/or renovated. Numerous Town departments and officials have continued to support our efforts in this area,for which we remain enormously grateful. The seven member,elected board of the Recreation Commissioners volun- teer their services to the Town and department,meeting regularly (on the third Tuesday of each month)in order to discuss a wide spectrum of topics relative to the leisure needs and pursuits of all residents.Further,the Commissioners estabUsh poUcy and provide departmental direction,support and assistance. Each meeting is publicly posted at least one week prior to date,and residents are cordially invited to attend and participate in any meeting.Essential to our proper function,and absolutely vital towards success,is the ability to remain responsive and dynamic to changing community needs.We consider your input and feedback our most important source of guidance. The Recreation Commission wishes to acknowledge gratitude to the many individuals,civic and business organizations,school and sports groups.Town boards,committees and departments that have lent their support and assistance in our efforts to best serve the recreational and leisure needs of residents of all ages.While too numerous to mention each name,none are forgotten and all are sincerely appreciated and thanked.

Other activities this year included:"Community Health Awareness Day," (Annual Health Fair),a mammography screening by Mobile Diagnostics Inc.in June,public immunization flu cHnics which included pneumonia and tetanus booster immunizations.Hepatitis B immunization clinics for school department personnel,and TB testing cHnics at Stop and Shop and Papa Gino's Restaurant. Community education programs included a prostate cancer program by Dr.John Mulkern at the Cohasset Rotary Club,a financial planning program for women at the Cohasset Lightkeeper's house,and a drug interaction presen- tation by CVS pharmacist Mike Nee at the Senior Luncheon at the Community Center. We continue to cooperate with the Council on Aging,the Cohasset schools,area physicians,and other health and social agencies to provide and promote optimum health care for our community.We are very grateful to all volunteers and community groups who have helped us in the past year.

We have now completed the second year of the implementation of the Education Reform Act of 1993.This Act represents the most comprehensive and far-reaching change to public education in the history of the Common- wealth.While the initial phase of the reform has proceeded in a timely manner, the next two to three years of the process will be critical.Financial support by the State Legislature must continue if we are to achieve the goals set by the Act.In addition,communities such as ours must be assured of additional sup- port.Continued reliance on the local tax base will eventually result in a lower level of educational resources in communities where substantial state funds are unavailable.In some cases funding for education in above foundational budget communities,such as Cohasset,has declined,resulting in a decHne in the quality of education. During the past year members of the School Facilities/School Building Committee have worked timelessly to develop a plan to meet the present and future space needs of our schools.Their work resulted in a comprehensive recommendation that was made to a Special Town Meeting.This recommenda- tion included the construction of a new PreK to Grade 3 facility at the present Deer Hill site and an addition and renovation to the Deer Hill School.If the Town gives final financial authorization to the project,when completed the community will have two elementary facilities with projected useful lives of fifty years.State reimbursement for the project will result in 60%payment of all costs associated with the program. During the 1994-1995 school year,a number of activities were conducted to assess the strengths and weaknesses of the Cohasset school system.The School Committee conducted a community-wide survey to identify strengths, need areas,and level of support among community members.In May 1995 the Superintendent held a joint School Councils meeting,facilitated by Dr.Chuck Christiansen,to also identify areas of strengths and weaknesses within the sys- tem.Lastly,as a result of the implementation of the Education Reform Act of 1993,each of the three schools within Cohasset had identified areas for school improvement for 1995-1996. During the time period of July 1995 to October 1995,plans were formu- lated for a Strategic Planning Workshop which was held on October 13 and 14, 1995.This workshop was attended by school committee members,school ad- ministrative staff,as well as representatives from the following groups:the Cohasset Teachers'Association,each of the three School Councils,Parent- School Organization,Students,Board of Selectmen,Advisory Board,and School Facilities Committee. 222 The members were: School Committee: School Administration: School Councils: Students: C.T.A.Representative: P.S.O.President: Board of Selectmen: Advisory Board: JoAnne Chittick James Kirk Stephen E.Hart,Superintendent Alicia Shea,Director of Student Services Curt Collins,CHS Principal John DeLorenzo,CHS Assistant Principal Donna Hartlage,Deer Hill Principal Linda Whitney,Osgood Principal Ruth Fennessey,K-6 Curriculum Coordinator Betsy Connolly,CHS Ed Leary,CHS Susan Turgiss,Deer Hill Frank Deakin,Deer Hill Jill Gomez,Osgood Linda Nash,Osgood Grace Deveney Conor Mangan Genevieve Brown Deborah Shadd Merle S.Brown Deborah Cook Roger Whitley School FaciHties Committee:Richard Silvia The facilitator for the two-day workshop was Dr.Chuck Christiansen, currently of the faculty of University of Massachusetts/Lowell,Department of Education and Consultant to school systems in strategic planning and leadership training.The strategic planning process steps were as follows: 1.Identifying and articulating the educational vision for the Cohasset Public Schools. 2.Establishing the philosophy/mission statement and values/beliefs of the Cohasset Public Schools. 3.Reviewing existing data resources available: Previous strategic plan Community survey results Joint Council Ideas Three School Improvement Plans 223 4.Identifying and assessing Emerging Trends and Events: Educational Economic Political/Governmental Social/Demographic 5.Establishing Five-Year Strategic Goal Areas (Major Objectives) 6.Identifying Activities and Strategies 7.Developing Implementation/Action Plans 8.Providing for the administration of Strategic Management and Imple- mentation of Action Plans Steps 1-6 were completed by the Strategic Planning Committee during this two-day workshop. The workshop participants identified the following four major objective areas: *To evaluate,develop and refine curriculum and instructional techni- ques which are consistent v^th state standards and current research and which demand excellence from each individual. *To provide quality school facihties to support excellence in education in the Cohasset public school system. *To strengthen community awareness,involvement and support. *To strengthen the application,resources and support of technology. We would like to share with you the results of a recent study developed by the Cohasset Education Foundation.This study reviewed the college statis- tics of our high school seniors for the past five years. 1.Percentage of CHS students accepted into a college after graduation: 1995 63 of 64 1994 65 of 69 94% 1993 69 of 73 95% 1992 62 or 69 90% 1991 71 of 81 88% 224 Percentage of CHS students accepted into the top two tiers of "Most Difficult"and "Very Difficult"colleges to get into based on Peter- son's Guide to Four Year Colleges: 1995 Most Difficult 4 Very Difficult 22 Total 26 Percentage 41% 1994 7 11 18 26% 1993 9 18 27 39% 1992 5 14 19 31% 1991 2 21 23 32% SAT scores for CHS Students as compared with the National and Massachusetts averages: CHS Verbal CHS Math Natl Verbal Natl Math Mass Verbal Mass Math 1995 489 522 1994 460 492 +37 +13 +34 +17 1993 491 540 +67 +62 +64 +64 1992 490 597 +67 +71 +62 +73 1991 475 531 +53 +57 +49 +61 These statistics support the excellent academic achievement of our stu- dents and the wise investment in education on the part of the community. We would also like to express our gratitude to the following long-term school department employees who retired this year.They include Marie David, Stephen Gilmartin,Joseph Becker and Robert Barrow.Each of these individu- als has made a substantial contribution to our community and their dedicated service will long be remembered. We wish to thank all who support our school system and to assure you that with your continued support we will strive to retain the excellence of our school system.

At South Shore Vocational Technical High School,the mission of prepara- tion for involvement in the workplace and in society has never been more im- portant or appropriate.Focus on the acquisition of integrated skills,skills which are technical,academic,social and personal in nature is critical. A significant component to successful development and implementation of Vo-Tech's school to career plan centers around partnership with business and industry and the communities of our district.In the past year,particular empha- sis has been given to building the network of prospective educational partners, individuals,employers and groups with whom we can share the mutual benefit of a well trained and educated young adult citizenry.When schools best func- tion cooperatively with parents and others in the community,everyone wins. South Shore currently enrolls 536 students in grades nine through twelve (9—12),representing a continuation of the positive enrollment growth over the past four years for the school.It is anticipated that we will reach maximum enrollment by as soon as next school year.The present enrollment includes eight students from Cohasset as of October 1,1995.These students participate in many of the fourteen diverse technical programs offered at the school,in a full array of academics courses and extracurricular activities,and in a concrete plan aimed at preparing them for rewarding careers and a lifetime of learning. A growing number of our graduates overall,both recent and those of years ago,are realizing the opportunities and necessity of continuing with post- secondary education,often in conjunction with employment demands and career expectations.Many,too,are quickly rising to positions of authority and influence in their workplace,truly demonstrating the integration of skills devel- oped while still in high school and cultivated throughout their ever challenging career paths. When speaking of partnership,the development and growth of the school's Parents'Association and newly started Alumni Association come immediately to mind.Our parents are viewed as critical links in the district's network of ongoing communication and involvement.Support for student activities con- tinues through fundraising efforts and what is hoped will be an annual alumni reception,initiated at this year's inaugural varsity footbaU Thanksgiving Day game,which promises to bring past Vo-Tech Vikings and their families back into the fold.Any and all graduates are encouraged to give the school a call or stop in and update information for a building database. 226 Examination of both academic and technical workplace changes in cur- riculum,particularly in conjunction with Massachusetts Education Reform/ Curriculum Frameworks demands,have broadened the dimensions of instruction at South Shore.Initiatives like Honors courses,Tech Prep,pilot block schedul- ing,our computer lab,and on-line information accessibility have added to the quality and quantity of experiences available to students.Practical application and inter-discipHnary instruction have allowed for increased relevance and appre- ciation for learning in all areas,an attribute which bodes well for needed recep- tivity to Hfelong learning through adulthood. Staff development too has experienced broadened opportunities with Vo- Tech's participation in the South Shore High School Alliance,a network for valuable training and professional examination by faculty members from a growing consortium of school districts in the area.Participation and member- ship in business and civic organizations like the Rotary,South Shore Chamber of Commerce,professional associations and advisory groups provide for ongoing communication and involvement with various aspects of the district-wide com- munity.The administration at South Shore welcomes new opportunities and avenues for communicating the message about a truly comprehensive regional resource. In closing,I join with Superintendent James Hager and his administration, the staff,students and parents.School Committee and Advisory Board members to the South Shore Regional School District in pledging to strive for expanded partnership and community service.Meeting and combating financial con- straints,providing the planning and foresight necessary for success,and commit- ting to cooperation now and in the future are among the challenges we share. With optimism and enthusiasm we welcome the challenges of the job ahead. Helping to bridge that all important transition from school to work,from youth to adulthood and responsibility is a common mission for both school and com- munity.We appreciate your continued support.
