The Town of Cohasset is not immune to the economic forces at work State-wide,and in spite of the ringing endorsement of the electorate in support of a ballot question to guarantee a portion of sales and income tax revenues to support local government,it is a certainty that decisions taken to balance the State budget will have a major influence on Town government in the coming year. Let us hope that the Town can take the necessary steps to adjust to this new economic environment without sacrificing the quality of life and municipal services that our residents have come to expect. 1990 KEY ACTIONS AND APPOINTMENTS January Town successfully concludes two major property tax suits,resulting in $250,000 in unexpected revenue.

ONGOING AGENDA ITEMS: Aside from the general economic and financial crises facing our community,the community will have to deal with preservation and renewal of its physical plant,i.e.,our roads, bridges,public buildings,water system,and machinery and equipment . The year 1 99 1 will likely see decisions made on whether to expand and upgrade the sewer system,restore the Old Colony Railroad,and whether to initiate various changes in Town government structure. Fortunately,the Town continues to benefits from the involvement and dedication of its citizens from all walks of life.Support and volunteerism from individuals and civic groups in various community projects have made Cohasset a better place in which to live. The work of our many dedicated committee and board members,and the continued efforts of Town department heads and staff to provide quality service,deserves notable mention in these difficult times. Outside agencies,most notably Norfolk County Engineer AI vah.C.Downs and Assistant Civil Engineer Wayne Simpson,made valuable contributions in their tireless efforts in providing technical assistance on a number of public works projects. The number and variety of challenges never ends,and the Board looks forward to addressing the issues and problems of 1 99 1 .

This information is available for public inspection during normal office hours. Respectfully submitted, Frances L.Marks Town Clerk of Cohasset Town Archivist 1990 marks the first full year of operation of the Town's new controlled environment Public Records vaults at Town Hall.During the year,additional permanent Public Records were placed in the vaults.There has been a continuing project to protect permanent records and to legally dispose of certain unneeded short-term temporary records in accordance with procedures established by the Public Records Department of the Massachusetts State Archives,and with participation of appropriate Town Offices.Additionally,as part of the archive project,specific areas of the old Town Hall building needing to have material organized and reduced in bulk have been cleared up with the cooperation of the appropriate offices.Steps have been taken to gather and organize town maps and plans,many of which have archival and historical significance.An inventory of all historical and modern Town 96 permanent record books in the vaults is planned for the near future.The Archivist would like i to note that Massachusetts laws require that all permanent Public Records be protected in fireproof and controlled environment vaults.May I urge that all municipal offices and committees arrange to have their permanent records placed within the new vaults as statutes require.The Archivist would like to thank the Offices of Selectmen,Town Clerk,Treasurer- Collector,Assessors,Recreation Department,and the Historical Commission for partici- pation and assistance in the continuing project to store and organize the Town's Public Records in conformance with the laws and regulations of the Commonwealth. Respectfully submitted, David H.Wadsworth,Town Archivist. Bylaw Committee The Committee's responsibility is to review new Articles and/or provisions pertaining to the Town Bylaws.The purpose of the review is to maintain the existing form,to ensure clarity,and to prevent contradictions or errors in substance. As often as requested,the Bylaw Committee has met and conferred with those preparing material for presentation. In order to fulfill the objectives for which the Bylaw Committee was created with efficiency and a minimum of expense and duplication of effort,it is essential that all proposed changes in Town Bylaw provisions be presented to the Bylaw Committee,in addition to Town Counsel,within the time prescribed for review prior to inclusion in the Warrant. Respectfully submitted, Cornelia L.O'Malley,Chairman Mary E.Gainor,Secretary W.Roger Nast Frances L.Marks,Town Clerk (ex officio) Richard A.Henderson,Town Counsel (ex officio) Cable Television Council The Cable Television Council is appointed by the Selectmen and meets periodically to assure that Continental Cablevision complies with the requirements of its contract with the Town.We also encourage community members to make full use of "public access"to cable television in Cohasset.Please let us know if you have any complaints or suggestions regarding cable TV in Cohasset by leaving a message at Town Hall.Also,we encourage your attendance at our meetings. In July,responding to our request,the Board of Selectmen reduced the Council from its original size of nine to its present size of five members.We hope this will make it easier to get consistent quorums for meetings and conduct our business more efficiently. Rate increases continue,and with them our concern that re-regulation of the cable industry may be the best course for consumer protection.We are studying the Federal Cable Act,and may recommend to the Selectmen that they could join the national campaign to restore local municipal controls over cable rates. 97 Cohasset's Continental Cablevision Community Program Director,Deb Duggan,has had a successful first year.The merger of the Cohasset studio into a larger shared facility in North Scituate,accomplished two years ago,continues to be beneficial for community programming in both towns. Besides the continuation of Wigmore Pierson's popular "Cohasset Talks",this year's regular Channel 3 Cohasset programs have included the Selectmen's meetings (live on Mondays and recablecast on Tuesdays),an aerobics class —"California Fitness Connec- tion",and the School's "Videotime".Two new Cohasset productions,"McNamara on Money"and "The Business Show",as well as the award winning "Newsbeat 53",can also be seen on regional Channel 53.Town Meetings were cablecast (most live),as were many other meetings and events of public interest,notably extensive local election coverage.The ongoing Channel 3 bulletin board serves many of the Town's organizations.Cohasset community television is becoming an integral and important part of our Town life. Respectfully submitted, John R.H.Packard,Chairman Shelanne S.Durkin Tamsin E.Elliot Marek L.Laas Charles M.Kane (resigned) John D.Walp Harbormaster During 1990 we continued to improve the maintenance of the harbor,and rebuilt three (3)floats at Government Island and two (2)floats at the fisherman's docks by the Salt House. Due to an accident at the ramp located on Government Island which caused the ramp to be unuseable,we acquired an aluminum ramp from the Town of Scituate,rebuilt it,and replaced the damaged ramp.We also rebuilt the damaged ramp from Government Island and replaced the ramp on the fishermen's floats by the Salt House which had deteriorated beyond repair. Due to the Coast Guard's policy of not providing immediate assistance in non-distress situations where there is alternative assistance available,such as Harbormasters or commer- cial towing,the Harbor Department assisted forty-five (45)disabled boaters.There were eight (8)dingies reported missing,of which six (6)were recovered,and three (3)incidents of vandalism reported. With the help of Harold Litchfield,Tony Sestito and the Public Works Department,we removed a Minke whale which had washed ashore during a storm at Richardson's Beach and it was towed to sea by Coast Guard Station Scituate. We are currently working with the engineers from Nucci Vine Associates, Newburyport,Mass.,for maintenance dredging and rock removal of Cohasset Harbor to improve navigation safety and provide additional mooring area. We would like to express thanks and appreciation to Cliff Dickson and Dave Marks for their assistance this summer and to those fishermen who assisted in rebuilding the floats at Government Island.Also,thanks to Robert Baggs,whose expertise in construction made this 98 possible without taking any floats out of service at a savings of approximately $20,000 to the Town. Respectfully submitted, Irving Gadow Harbormaster Insurance Committee Fiscal Year 1990 presented some difficult challenges for the Insurance Committee in the area of health benefits for Town employees.This will continue to be a challenging situation until all employee groups (Fire,Police,School,custodial,and other)reach a mutual consensus on a benefit plan design.At that point the Insurance Committee will be able to assist in identifying and obtaining a cost effective and sound plan.Until that time we will have to accept the available options,which are dramatically being reduced. In April,Blue Cross/Blue Shield announced that it would no longer be interested in the Town due to the lack of participants in their program.By June they had issued a formal notice of cancellation,to be effective September 1 ,1 990.At the same time,the rates being charged increased dramatically.The end result was the termination of Blue Cross/Blue Shield as an alternative,due to a lack of participants. With the current enrollment distribution of employees,there are no indemnity plans available for Town employees.All active employees are utilizing either Bay State Health or Medical East,two Health Maintenance Organizations. There is a strong desire on the part of all employee groups to find a common ground in terms of plan design and acceptability.Working with union representatives we hope to come up with a solution to the existing situation. On the property and casualty side,the Town has been favored with a complete, comprehensive,sound,and competitive program.As long as the insurance marketplace continues to be stable,we see no change in the program. As we look ahead in 1991 we see the financial responsibility requirements of underground storage tanks being an issue that the Town must comply with in September. Fortunately,enough lead time is available to do this in a well thought out and smooth manner. The Committee is always available to discuss any points of interest with interested parties. Respectfully submitted, Samuel W.Wakeman,Chairman Robert C.Ernst Robert J.Murphy 99 Committee to Survey the Structure and Function of Town Government The purpose of this Committee is to survey the structure and function of Cohasset Town government,its officers,departments,and boards,and from time to time,report its findings and recommendations,if any,to Town Meeting.To this end the Committee held meetings on a regular basis this past year.We have also met,individually and collectively,with members of other committees,Town officials,and interested citizens. In 1990 the Committee's primary activity was looking into the question of privatizing the Town's ambulance service.The Committee met with representatives from other towns, from private ambulance companies,the Cohasset Fire Department,and reviewed data from a variety of sources.The resulting report was presented to the Board of Selectmen in late summer.Their response to it will determine what further action the Committee takes. The Committee kept in touch with representatives from surrounding communities in hopes of identifying redundant activities which could be regionalized,but little enthusiasm was evident.If municipal conditions in the region worsen,this issue may again move to the fore.The Committee also considered animal control,and determined that no action was necessary. In the course of the year,the Committee's Chairman and Secretary were re-elected,and Jack D.Bryant joined the Committee.

PURPOSE:The Assessors'main function is to raise through taxation exactly the sum of money necessary to fund the operating Town Budget voted at Town Meeting—NO MORE AND NO LESS.The Assessors have no more control over that sum than the other 7300 registered voters in the Town.When Town Meeting is finalized and the tax levy set (as in FY 91)at $9,438,776.82,we divide that sum by the total valuation of the Town's total taxable parcels,some 2,300,and arrive at a tax rate.In FY91 the tax rate was $9.90. PROBLEMS:Under Proposition 2 1/2,valuations of property are determined every three years based on sales to assessment ratios for the previous three years.That is to say the assessment for FY90 (our revaluation year),was based on the comparison of sales to assessment ratios for the years 1986 through 1989.Unless in the intervening years there was permit work of any nature conducted on a dwelling,the assessment remains the same until the next revaluation in 1993.There is no question that this system has brought with it problems not only for Cohasset,but for all of the other 35 1 municipalities in the Common- wealth.First,the declining real estate market has brought with it new questions regarding 130 how assessed values should be adjusted to reflect market conditions and the required "100% Full and Fair Cash Value".Given that over the past many years the rule has been unprecedented growth,it is understandable that changes in the market are producing confusion as to what the requirements for adjusting values are.The assessed value for property tax purposes in a given fiscal year,is determined on an "Assessment Date'of the prior January 1.For example,tax bills for FY91 (the current year)are based on property values determined as of January 1 ,1 990 and to determine those values the Assessors use data from the preceding calendar year.This means that the home price sales during calendar year 1989 are the basis of residential property assessments for FY 91.Given these facts,it is understandable that some taxpayers feel that their most recent assessments are higher than what they could expect to sell their homes for at this time,since the market has continued to slow down.However,it is important to note that these assessments are correct if they reflect values as determined on January 1,1990,based on sales that occurred in 1989. Secondly,the principle that taxes must be uniform and equitable demand that there be a fixed assessment date on which all property is valued.Even if it were possible to continue to update values based on current sales all the way up to the time tax bills are mailed,it would not be desirable because some taxpayers would have the amount of their taxes determined on the basis of more up-to-date facts than other taxpayers. PLEASURE:As most of you know,Ms.Dorothy Graham has chosen to retire after forty years as a Town employee,having worked for the Board of Selectmen,the Board of Welfare and then the Board of Assessors.The Boards of Selectmen,Welfare and Assessors were one at the time.She has been a dedicated and conscientious worker for all of those forty years.Her knowledge of Assessing and the property within the Town is irreplaceable.She never failed to complete whatever task was asked of her and beyond,and the Assessors will miss her dearly.We have presently,at this writing,Janice Rosano working as diligently as possible to complete all of the tasks previously handled by two people.The office processes, in addition to the real estate tax bills,1 77 personal property bills ,300 excise tax bills on boats (approx.)8500 excise tax bills on automobiles,and (approx.)450 sewer and water liens yearly.This is no small task,and we are proud to have had two such devoted public servants in our employ.And we continue to be thankful that the Town has Janice to carry on all of this work. The Assessors would like to present the following information to you,our fellow taxpayers. Type of Property Residential CIP (Commercial Industrial and Personal Property) Note:The difference between the Town's total 3300 parcels and the figures above are in Town-owned land,open space and lands held by other non-taxable entities. As we move forward into the 90's,the challenges facing the Assessors are formidable and numerous.Be assured that the present Board is prepared to face all of these problems 131 No of Parcels Total Valuation %of Total 2217 $867,040,500.00 90.9546 86 80,158,059.00 9.0591 squarely,with resolution and firmness,and most importantly,fairly,for the benefit of all of our residents.

Department for the year 1990: Building Permits Issued 387 Building Permit Fees Paid to Treasurer $47,732.00 Estimated Cost of Construction $5,976,36 1 .00 Buildings Inspected for Group Occupancy 16 Group Occupancy Fees Paid to Treasurer $760.00 Occupancy Permits 24 Fees for Occupancy Permits $650.00 Plumbing Permits Issued 159 Plumbing Inspector Paid for Services $4,199.00 Plumbing Fees Collected $6,1 24.00 Gas Permits Issued 98 Gas Inspector Paid for Services $1 ,508.00 Gas Fees Collected $1 ,696.00 Fees for Copy Machine Use $48.00 Zoning Maps (38 sold)$1 14.00 Zoning By-Laws (83 sold)$415.00 TopoMaps $10.00 The Building Department showed an increase of 16%in the number of permits issued, although the value of construction decreased by 1 3%.The permit fees collected remained the same as in the past year. In addition to reviewing proposed construction and issuing building permits,the building inspector conducts inspections of construction in progress,issues Certificates of Occupancy,inspects public building and all buildings for public assembly.The Building Inspector is also responsible for enforcing the Cohasset Zoning By-Law. I would like to thank the other Town Boards and Departments for their assistance and cooperation in the past year and I hope that I have extended the same to them. Respectfully submitted, Robert M.Egan Building Inspector/Zoning Officer Conservation Commission 1990 was an extremely busy year for the Conservation Commission.The Commission met almost weekly with all seven members present at most meetings.The Commission held 36 hearings on new Notices of Intent,26 hearings on Requests for Determinations of Applicability (hearings are often continued over several meetings),and reviewed over 91 Building Permit Applications with owners,engineers,architects,contractors,and land- scapes,with many meetings lasting from 7:30 p.m.until almost midnight.In addition, 142 Commissioners had to personally inspect all the properties for which hearings were held. Many of these were very complicated,involving expensive projects such as subdivisions, shopping center septic system,piers,docks and floats in the Harbor,as well as on the Gulf, and also involving remittance of flooding and drainage problems. The Commission also completed and published the new Cohasset Wetlands Regula- tions authorized under the Cohasset Wetlands Protection By-Law.Additionally,Commis- sioners and their secretary attended many training sessions and workshops provided by the Massachusetts Association of Conservation Commissions,and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts'Department of Environmental Protection on the new State regulations. Thomas J.Callahan,Chairman Merle S.Brown Patricia C.Buckley John K.Bryant William H.Parmenter Veneta P.Roebuck Jeffrey C.Waal Board of Health In 1990 William E.Baird,P.E.,was re-elected for a second three-year term.Michael H.Sullivan was elected Chairman and Sharon L.Becker Clerk during reorganization of the Board.Dr.Joseph R.Godzik continued as Health Agent,with Carol Oteri-Puffer serving as Administrative Assistant. The operation of the Recycling/Transfer Facility (RTF)proceeded smoothly through- out the year.Cohasset remains in the forefront of surrounding communities with a full year's experience under a Mandatory Recycling By-Law.An annual $52 permit fee for residential use of the RTF was adopted.Intermediate cover material was placed over the Landfill in preparation for closure.A consent order was signed with the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (DEP),establishing general parameters regarding closure and setting up of a timetable for completion.The DEP agreed to the construction of a groundwater diversion wall rather than a leachate groundwater collection system.The diversion wall will reduce groundwater contamination and save large sums of money in leachate disposal costs once the Landfill is closed. A joint venture with the High School Water Department and The Gulf Association,Inc. to study water quality of the Gulf River Watershed was initiated.The project will continue on into next year and hopefully also will involve the Town of Scituate.High School students will collect water samples and perform analytical tests for water quality at the Water Department laboratory. The noxious odors in the area of the Cohasset Heights Ltd.Landfill continue.Two projects to mitigate or eliminate the odors have not been successful.A final plan to collect and burn the gases coming from the landfill is awaiting approval by the DEP. Installation of new septic systems for the Osgood and Deer Hill Schools and the housing on Government Island,was overseen by the Health Agent.Actual installation was performed by the Highway Department,with engineering supervision provided by the 143 Norfolk County Engineers.Many thousands of dollars were saved through the utilization of Town personnel for these important projects. On September 15,a household hazardous waste collection day was held for residents of the Town.Thirty-two 55-gallon drums of hazardous waste were collected.Changing habits to use non-toxic materials instead of hazardous ones will reduce the necessity for such collections in the future.Another collection day is planned for 1 99 1 .Waste oil and batteries are now accepted at the RTF. A program for testing of private well drinking water was provided to residents at no charge.Samples were collected by a High School science student,who was paid for his services,and testing conducted by Water Department laboratory staff.Equipment used for testing was purchased through the cooperation of the Water Department and the Board of Health.Ongoing use of the new equipment for projects previously sent to commercial laboratories will reduce expenses. With the data capability of the Board of Health's new computer,a program is in place to enforce the Town By-Law requiring homeowners to pump their septic systems every other year. The Board continues its attempt to meet the needs of the townspeople despite the existing and further projected State fiscal crisis in support services and staff.As always,our priority is to maintain and protect the public health of the community. Septage Hauling Revolving Account Report Amounts Collected Interest Earned 1989 $39,836.50 $262.05 1990 $81,941.80 $1,071.12 Respectfully submitted, Michael H.Sullivan,Chairman Sharon L.Becker,Clerk William E.Baird Recycling Committee The Recycling Committee has had a very busy and successful year keeping up with the ever-changing markets for our recycled products. Paper and glass are still our largest products with corrugated cardboard and plastic following close. One vendor taking our chipped milk jugs went out of business so we had to find another market.A large semi-trailer was loaned to the committee and is used for storage of the plastic containers.Recycling Services of South Boston brings its own chipper and takes plastic directly from the trailer. An agreement was made with the Salvation Army to remove on a weekly basis clothing placed in their box at the Recycling Transfer Facility (RTF).This has been very successful with a bin filled within each week.Small toys,etc.are also taken from the Boutique at each visit by the Salvation Army. Compost produced from leaves collected last fall has been developed with compost being taken by home owners and also used for dressing along the roadway entrance of the RTF.The new batch of fall leaves are on site and "cooking." 144 Tin and aluminum cans are collected in a small bin on site. Tires collected for a fee are being picked up from the storage trailer when it is full. Iron and steel,including large appliances,are stockpiled.When a sufficient amount is accumulated,the vendor crushes/services items on the premises and removes them. Aluminum market fluctuates and product requires so much work cleaning that it is also placed in the steel pile for disposal. Waste oil is collected and then stored in a special tank in the supervisor's building.A program was arranged for residential disposal of this hazardous waste. Batteries are recycled as they accumulate. Returnables are collected in the Boy Scout building and sorted,boxed or bagged. Scouts and volunteers deliver them to redemption centers. A progress sign donated by the Cohasset Boy Scouts shows recycling efforts on a monthly basis with cost effective savings to the Town. Recycling is only as successful as the residents of the Town work to make it so.The Recycling Committee thanks all the citizens of Cohasset,including the RTF employees,in their efforts to make recycling the success that it is. Respectfully submitted, Arthur L.Lehr,Jr. Merle S.Brown John F.Hubbard Transfer Station Building Committee At the beginning of 1990 the Transfer Station was in operation,but there was a list of five punch-list items to be completed.The Town had retained $10,200 from the contractor's final payment request pending completion of these items.It had also retained $2,500 of the engineers'fees pending completion of liaison work related to these items. During the year,two of the five items have been completed.The Town has received a complete set of as-built drawings and our committee has reviewed and accepted them.The Town has also received and accepted a letter from the building manufacturer assuring us of the structural integrity of the northeast corner of the building as installed.As a result of these completions,the Town has released $8,000 to the contractor and $1 ,000 to the engineers.We still hold $2,200 from the contractor and $1,500 from the engineers pending completion of the remaining three items. On October 20,Peter O'Connor resigned from our committee to accept an appointment to the Advisory Committee.He leaves with our best wishes and thanks for a job well done. Respectfully submitted, J.Anson Whealler,Chairman William E.Baird Arthur L.Lehr,Jr. Joseph R.Godzik (ex officio) 145 Design Review Board The Design Review Board had an active year.We worked on improving the Tedeschi Plaza Shop frontage on Route 3A and the historic water pump layout for Cohasset Village. We also assisted the Planning Board with the changes to the signage by-laws. Unfortunately,we lost two of our members this year when Roger Whitley and Peter O'Connor accepted appointments to the Town Advisory Committee.We wish them both well in their new posts.

In April ,the Massachusetts Department of Public Health issued an advisory on Eastern Encephalitis to local Boards of Health and Mosquito Control Districts.An additional advisory was issued to all campgrounds in Southeastern Massachusetts in early summer.The first isolation of Eastern Encephalitis virus in CULISETA MELANURA,a bird biting species, was detected in Halifax the week of June 22,and Health officials were concerned about a spillover of virus into other mosquitoes known to bite humans.The highest risk for transmission of virus to humans usually occurs during August and September.Information based on Department of Public Health mosquito trapping data precipitated an aerial spray program for all of Plymouth and Bristol Counties,plus a portion of Norfolk County,during the morning and evening of August 27-29.A dramatic reduction in adult mosquito population occurred after the spray program,but three human EE cases had been contracted prior to the aerial spray.All historical case data suggest a return of the EE virus,which runs in two or three year cycles,in 1991. 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:2,640 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 October. 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 69 inspections were made to 68 catalogued breeding sites. 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 112 complaints 148 answered. Water Management:During 1 990,crews removed blockages,brush and other obstruc- tions from 565 linear feet of ditches and streams to prevent overflows or stagnation that can result in mosquito breeding.This work,together with machine reclamation,is most often carried out in the Fall and Winter. Mosquito Survey:A systematic sampling of the mosquitoes in Cohasset indicates that Coquillettidia perturbans was the most abundant species.Other important species collected included Aedes Vexans and Culiseta melanura. We encourage citizens or municipal officials to call our office for information about mosquitoes,mosquito-borne diseases,control practices,or any other matters of concern. Respectfully submitted, Frank E.Parris,Chairman Carolyn Brennan,Vice Chairman Robert A.Thorndike,Secretary William J.Mara Richard E.Kurgger,Sr., Commissioners PUBLIC SAFETY Animal Control Department During the past year the Animal Control Department has received a total of 1 ,004 calls on a variety of animal-related problems and complaints. There was a total of 705 licensed dogs in the Town,and of the 705 dogs,525 of them were either spayed or neutered. 4 1 court complaints were issued to Cohasset residents for violation of the Town's leash law.From the 41 court complaints issued,a total of $1,450.00 was collected in fines. 1 10 warnings were given and a total of 26 dogs were impounded.Of the 26 dogs impounded,one was euthanized and one was adopted by a Cohasset family. Although it may be frustrating at times when I am not immediately available to answer your calls,it must be remembered that I work only part time Respectfully submitted, William P.Quigley, Animal Control Officer 149 Civil Defense The past year was a quiet year as far as local emergencies were concerned.Through this time a comprehensive emergency management plan for the Town of Cohasset was completed with the help and cooperation of various department heads.The purpose of the plar was to develop a management program which seeks to mitigate the effect of hazards,to preserve life and minimize damage,and to respond during emergencies and assist in returning the town to normal. Our Emergency Alert Test Program has functioned satisfactorily during the year. I thank and compliment all town departments and employees in their dedication to responsibilities that at times seem routine. Respectfully, Arthur L.Lehr,Jr. Civil Defense Director Fire Department A statistical analysis of the Department responses for the year is as follows: Structure Fires 39 Motor Vehicle Accidents 19 Motor Vehicle Fires 5 Medical Calls 472 Brush/Outdoor Fires 30 Investigations 153 Assistance/Miscellaneous 362 Inspection 239 Total 1,327 Mutual aid with surrounding fire departments; Aid Rendered 104 Aid Received 37 At the end of 1990,the Fire Department was operating the following apparatus out of the single fire station at 44 Elm Street: Engine 21,a 1987 Pierce Dash 1250 GPM Pumper. Engine 2,a 1961 Prisch 750 GPM Pumper. Engine 23,a 1979 Farrar/Duplex 1 250 GPM Pumper. Ladder 1,a 1978 Seagrave 100 foot Aerial Ladder. Forestry 1,a 1982 Farrar/Ford 4wd 100 GPM Brush Pumper.

Cohasset continues to have the best service with the funds available for this most important task of saving lives.In this time of financial crunch,we tend to rely more on support from friends and neighbors;therefore,I would like to extend to the citizens of Cohasset,Board of Selectmen,the heads and members of the Town Departments and Committees,and especially the officers and firefighters of the Fire Department my sincere thanks and appreciation for their cooperation and assistance.

A proposal was agreed upon,and a budget was approved by the committee and subsequently by the Selectmen,for presentation to the voters. The final amount,based on specific line item estimates provided by the architect,was $396,000,which I am happy to report was approved by the voters as a result of the Annual Town Meeting convened on April 7,1990. During the Summer our architect prepared final plans and specifications preparatory to the bidding process. The Committee was extremely pleased to have received sixteen bids from general contractors and over sixty-one sub-bids. The general bid was awarded to Lambrian Construction Corp.,341 Belgrade Ave., Roslindale,Mass,for $248,366,which was well below our $300,000 estimate for the construction phase of the project. Construction actually began the week after Thanksgiving and has progressed quite rapidly. As of year's end the new roof is on,the general rough carpentry complete,and the new entrance pads and a good amount of electrical and plumbing is finished. Completion now appears to be possible by April 1,1991.Bob Egan,Town Building Inspector,has performed yeoman service as clerk of the job. During the year,the standing committee of Gerard Buckley,William Higgins and myself welcomed the assistance of new member Joseph Manfredi,who is a knowledgeable mechanical engineer. Respectfully submitted, David Chase,Chairman Gerard A.Buckley Francis Collins William Higgins Joseph F.Manfredi 152 Wire Department FIRE AND TRAFFIC SIGNALS;Replacement of 1,000 feet of alarm wire was installed along Atlantic Avenue and Linden Drive.One new alarm box was installed on the Fire Alarm system.Alarm boxes were tested and painting was started on boxes.Traffic lights were kept in working condition,and replacement of two flashing lights will be done this Spring. WIRE INSPECTIONS;All work done by electrical contractors was inspected by the Wire Department and fees collected were turned in to the Town Treasurer. TOWN BUILDINGS;Electrical work done on Town-owned buildings was com- pleted by the Wire Department. I wish to thank the Board of Selectmen for its co-operation with my Department and to thank the men who worked with me this past year. Respectfully submitted, Stephen F.Wigmore,Superintendent of Wires PUBLIC WORKS Cemetery Study Committee Our Committee was increased to five members during 1990.At the request of the Selectmen,we reviewed our site options again.To date,no new site has been selected as an alternate to Pleasant Street. During the year,we completed engineering and survey work on the Pleasant Street site, and filed a Notice of Intent with the Conservation Commission and State D.E.P.for review. Recommendations were made to the Selectmen regarding Beechwood Expansion, New Rules and Regulations,and the repurchase of graves. Respectfully submitted, Glenn A.Pratt,Chairman William J.Ferriter Mary A.Hartwell Jane M.Hamilton Nancy C.Snowdale Gerard L.Deveney Peter G.Laugelle (ex officio) 153 Department of Public Works Study Committee The Board of Selectmen voted to establish a Department of Public Works Committee at its August 6,1990,meeting.The charge of this committee is to study the feasibility of combining two or more of the following departmental operations: •Highway Department •Tree,Park and Cemetery •Wire Department •Recycling Transfer Facility •Water Department •Sewer Department The committee's initial task was to develop a work plan for achieving the objectives outlined in the committee's charge.This work plan includes the following tasks: •Review other towns'experience with public works departments. •Summarize the current situation for each department in Cohasset with respect to the following: Enabling mechanism Organization and staffing Operations Equipment and facilities Budget •Identify potential opportunities for increased effectiveness and/or reduced costs. •Develop one or more possible approaches for consolidation that take advantage of these opportunities. •For each alternative approach for consolidation,describe the following: Financial implications Improved efficiency and/or effectiveness Organizational and personnel changes required Legal changes required Implementation schedule. •Prepare a report presenting the committee's recommendations and documenting each phase of the study. During 1990 the committee's efforts have focused on the first two tasks listed above. As part of our review of other towns'experiences with public works departments,we contacted twelve communities first to determine whether or not they currently have a public works department.For those towns having a DPW,questions were asked regarding the department's organization,costs and benefits associated with the department,etc. To develop a better understanding of the current situation for each of the six departments included in our charge,we have obtained and reviewed the following for each department: Budgets for FY90 and FY9 1 •Job descriptions and responsibilities for department personnel •List of vehicles and equipment. In addition,we have initiated a series of meetings with the heads of each department to provide us with more detailed information on the operation of each department and to allow 154 them to express their opinions regarding any proposed consolidation. In 1991 we will complete our interviews with department heads.Once completed,we will review the results of these meetings and other information that we have obtained,identify potential opportunities for increased effectiveness,cost savings,etc.,and develop one or more alternative approaches for consolidation.The report documenting these activities is tentatively scheduled to be completed by the end of February. Very respectfully, DPW Study Committee Terry J.Atherton,Chairman Robert K.Dennis,Clerk John F.Greene Mary Jane McArthur Robert J.Moody Government Island Study Committee In 1946 this volunteer seven member committee was voted by the residents of Cohasset,at Town Meeting,to act as advisors to the Selectmen.This committee consists of six community-minded members whose interest is in the Town and the preservation of Government Island,one of the Town's most historical landmarks.The Harbormaster is the seventh member. This Committee,which has no budget,makes recommendations to the Selectmen,who evaluate and accept or reject suggestions. During 1990 we have maintained contact with the Historical Commission regarding the reconstruction of the top section of Minots Light on the Island. The Committee believes that the Island is one of Cohasset's greatest assets,histori- cally,commercially and recreationally.We want it to be used,appreciated and loved by all, townspeople and visitors alike. Respectfully submitted, Hamilton T.Tewksbury,Chairman Richard P.Barrow Robert M.Davenport Edward J.Figueiredo Vivian M.McCormack Noel A.Ripley Irving E.Gadow,Jr.,Harbormaster. 155 Highway Department During the winter months,beginning on November 23,1989,we concentrated our efforts on snow removal and ice control.We were out a total of forty-one times.Once again, I feel we can all be proud of the job the men from the Highway Department and the hired contractors have done in keeping our streets safe during the winter months.Cohasset is, indeed,one of the safest towns for travel after a snow storm,and for that,we can thank these conscientious workers. With any break in the weather,my Department worked on the repair and/or replace- ment of catch basins and connecting pipes.In all,sixteen basins were rebuilt and three new basins were installed.One hundred and eighty-eight feet of ten-inch aluminum pipe was installed with these new basins. Once the good weather arrived,we started our program of road sweeping.Every street was swept and cleaned of the build-up of sand and general winter debris.During the following months the sweeper was out whenever possible,keeping the streets clean. During the year,my men replaced or repaired signs at the request of the Board of Selectmen.We also fixed fences with whatever money was available. We installed new sewerage systems at the Joseph Osgood and Deer Hill Schools and at the Government Island House with the help of the Norfolk County Engineering De- partment.We also repaired the roof drains at the Deer Hill School. Seven hundred and seventy-six tons of asphalt was used to grader patch various roads and two thousand,five hundred and seventy feet of sidewalks were resurfaced. The Highway Department also removed the gas tanks from the Police/Fire Department building. I would like to extend special thanks to my men,and to Stephen Wigmore of the Wire Department,Joe Hamilton of the Water Department,and Peter Laugelle of the Tree &Park Department,for their continued support and cooperation. Respectfully submitted, Harold W.Litchfield Highway Surveyor Sewer Commission In general,the Town's Wastewater Treatment plant continues to operate on a satisfactory basis.In August and September,the plant was hit by apparently illegal discharges,which resulted in temporary operation above permit levels and odor problems. The Commissioners have written to all sewer users on this matter and are also investigating other steps to protect the integrity of the collection system.As of the writing of this report, the plant is once again operating on an entirely satisfactory basis. In October,the Commission signed a three-year contract for the operation and maintenance of the Town's Wastewater Treatment Plant with Professional Services Group Incorporated of Houston,Texas,headquartered locally in Brockton.This contract com- menced November 1,1990.It expires October 31,1993. The Commonwealth indicates that revised funding may soon be available for the project to connect the Town's wastewater system with the Town of Hull's treatment plant. 156 Additional information on this should be forthcoming in the first quarter of 1991. Respectfully submitted, Edward M.Guild,Chairman Henry A.Rattenberry R.Gary Vanderweil,Jr. Tree,Park &Cemetery Department The Tree &Park Department had a very busy Spring,Summer and Fall maintaining the Town's parks,commons,and playing fields,due to a lot of rain and hot weather.Because of the additional cuts in budget,we did not have a capital outlay budget this year.We concentrated on work that did not involve a lot of equipment,but mainly use of labor. The Department assisted in two projects at Osgood and Deer Hill Schools that required loam and seeding on new septic systems. The Cemetery Department made improvements at Woodside and Beechwood Cem- eteries,which involved repairing and re-cementing some headstones. The Tree &Park Department would like to thank all other departments for their help and cooperation. Respectfully submitted, Peter G.Laugelle,Superintendent Water Department The major accomplishment of 1990 was the acquisition of land around Lily Pond for the protection of our water supply.These 37 acres will remain in their natural state for the mutual benefit of all.Donations have already been received through the Conservation Trust to reduce our annual payments and we intend to continue seeking other sources and grants. Production for the year was 200,400,000 gallons. We thank the men and women of the department for their continued efforts and service throughout the year.We further acknowledge and appreciate the cooperation of the other Town Departments and personnel for their assistance,with special thanks to Highway Surveyor,Harold Litchfield and his staff. Respectfully submitted, Ronald H.Goodwin,Chairman James R.Sheerin William J.Montuori Water Commissioners 157 HUMAN SERVICES Council on Aging 1990 was a year of challenges for our seniors,as well as our staff.Due to the grim financial picture generally,services to senior citizens were directly impacted all across the State.In July,the grant allocation for the Town's elderly was reduced by 10%,an another 10%was cut from our Town budget,resulting in the termination of the newsletter "Vista", and all class instructors. This past year has been one of political activism for all of us.in May,COA members participated in a regional board training session designed and co-ordinated by its Directors and the Executive Office of Elder Affairs,with the Towns of Milton and Weymouth.Out of this training came the mission statement for the Cohasset COA,and plans for three-year goals and objectives.In August,the COA hosted first-of-its-kind regional board training on the history and responsibility of Councils on Aging,offering training resulted in a better knowledge of the concerns of various towns.Eighteen different Councils attended the one- day sessions.In October,three staff and board members attended an all-day Workshop for the State-wide Elder Advocates training program in Weymouth.In late Fall,five staff and board members attended the Massachusetts Council on Aging Conference in Fitchburg.All saw first-hand that this Council is truly "community based",and the needs of elders are foremost in the minds of the board and staff in Cohasset. Our three major programs,"Shine","Outreach",and transportation,have grown substantially over the past year.The Cohasset "Shine"program submitted a grant to EOEA through August of FY9 1 .This grant was approved,and the "Shine"program remains in good shape financially through this period,despite the fact that three consortiums out of nine lost all funding and two others had the Co-ordinators'hours reduced.The "Shine"program,under the direction of Pat Ryan,feels that this is great news for Cohasset and we are proud of the work of Pat and her counsellors."Shine"has had a growth rate of about 35%since its inception in July 1989,and looks forward to placement of counsellors in South Shore, Quincy,and Milton Hospitals in the Spring of 1991. Establishing contact with isolated elders and making them aware of available services is at the heart of our "Outreach"program.In October 1 990,as a follow-up to the goal-setting of the board,the "Outreach"worker organized a "Caring for Elders at Home"series,held for five weeks at the South Shore Art Center.After January,the COA is planning to institute a monthly support group for family/friend caregivers of older persons.This support group will provide an opportunity for the primary caretaker of older persons living at home to discuss common concerns and share information.Other projects planned by the "Outreach"program in 1 991 include calling on people between the ages of 80 and 89,contacting Town department heads to inform them of services offered,and working closely with the Handicapped Commission to ensure that handicapped people have proper access to a transportation accessible vehicle. While 1990 was a successful year in terms of numbers of people served,it was also a difficult year because of financial constraints on the Town and agencies the Council relies upon for services.South Shore Elder Services was forced to close intake for new clients from 158 July through December,and while the COA could not possibly provide the types of services available through home care,we worked to the best of our ability to locate alternative services that would enable older persons with certain needs to remain at home in an independent manner. The Council expresses its appreciation to the volunteers who are the mainstay of our operation,the assistance and guidance it has received from EOEA,the Massachusetts COA Association,South Shore Elder Services,Friends of the COA for their financial support, support and education of our staff,Social Service League,other Town departments that are always willing to help,and residents of Cohasset for their support.We give special thanks to Rev.John J.Keohane,Tony Finegan,Kathy Brennock,and Ann Hublitz (SSL),who stepped down from the board in June,for their continued energy and talents.We would also like to publicly thank the third-grade Osgood School classes for the wonderful programs they planned over the past year.Four times a year following the Tuesday afternoon lunch program, we all had a chance to enjoy the children,and share a new experience.We hope to be able to expand this project in 1991 .

Funding for the renovation and rehabilitation of the elderly housing complex continues under the auspices of the State Modernization Bureau,and the scope of work to be completed will include gutters,downspouts,attic ventilation and kitchen heaters. Construction of family affordable housing continues to be a goal of the Authority.The land donated by the Town did not pass required percolation testings;consequently,the 159 Authority is in the process of attempting to purchase private property. In October,the Authority applied to EOCD for congregate housing for frail elderly clients,and it is hopeful that approval for this program will be forthcoming. The Federal Housing and Urban Development Section #8 Program is in place and is administered through the Authority office. The elderly units continue to be fully occupied and four new residents were welcomed to Harborview this year. The Authority wishes to thank the Highway Department,Fire Department,Social Service League,Visiting Nurse Association,Council on Aging,Homemakers,and all agencies that contribute to the health and well being of the residents at Harborview.

In keeping with that philosophy,we instituted the "Safe Homes"program for children in grades 6-1 2.We feel the initial response to the program has been excellent and we plan to continue promoting it throughout 1 99 1 .The program,through individual contributions,was entirely self funded.We have received inquiries from other towns and private schools regarding our experience with the "Safe Homes"program,and are providing whatever assistance we can to them.Additionally,two of our members have been active with both the Mariner and Cable TV in implementing educational programs.The committee has also asked school organizations holding mixed youth/adult functions to consider making those events alcohol free. Plans for 1991 include:an open house for "Safe Homes"participants,providing a forum for discussion by interested parents;a seminar to be conducted by "Prevention Resources"for elder caregivers from Cohasset and surrounding towns regarding substance use issues among the elderly ;a Town-wide awareness program to be held in conjunction with state or national awareness efforts;and a program to open lines of communication between the schools,the police and the community regarding substance use and abuse.

Robert W.Jackson Sandra S.Kent Michael J.McFadden Mary L.Oliver Susan M.Shumaker Thomas Wigmore Handicapped Commission On January 22,1990,the Task Force for Citizens with Disabilities held an organiza- tional meeting for the objective of forming a Handicapped Commission.Under the provi sions of M.G.L.,Section 8J,Chapter 40,a Handicapped Commission is authorized for the purpose of coordinating or carrying out programs for the disabled in coordination with the Office of Disability.The warrant article drafted by the Task Force creating a Handicapped Commission passed at Town Meeting and was later approved by the Attorney General. The organizational meeting of the Handicapped Commission was held on September 1 2,1990.The goals of the Commission are to identify and gather available resource material, to identify equipment available for the disabled,to identify disabled Cohasset residents,to be a liaison with other Town boards and commissions and to survey public and private locations open to the public in regard to accessibility for the disabled. At this time,the Commission is gathering resource materials on different aspects and issues facing the disabled.In order to identify disabled residents,a needs assessment survey 162 will be distributed in cooperation with the Council on Aging.With the help of the community access monitor,the Commission will assist businesses in becoming handicap-accessible. Respectfully submitted, Michele A.Buckley,Chairman Deborah J.Richards,Vice-chairman David Chittim,Secretary Katherine S.Bryant Ronald M.Campbell Pamela M.Johansen John Zotos Paul Pratt Memorial Library The Board of Library Trustees gratefully acknowledges the valuable support of the Friends of the Cohasset Library,and the 334 persons and families who contributed to the Friends'first Townwide fund drive in the Fall of 1989.This fundraising effort enabled the Friends to make an unprecedented gift of $7,000 to the Library,which was crucial to maintaining current open hours and the book fund.Another $2,965 was raised and spent on museum passes,for family use,and other services. The current fund drive of the Friends has received 255 donations.The Trustees encourage Library supporters to consider that voluntary tax-deductible gifts are the only way the Library can maintain level service,when Town tax revenue fails to keep up with costs. A generous donor has added $2,000 to the Evelyn Wood Memorial Fund,a permanent book endowment.This fund is one of 13 endowment funds created between 1901 and 1989. A notebook in the New Book Room lists the funds and the books purchased with them. Budget constraints compel us again to consider a further reduction in open hours or book fund.Unavoidable cost increases must be taken out of staff needed to keep the Library open,or out of the book budget,if Town tax support cannot maintain level service.We believe it is wrong to reduce Library open hours.The Library has been closed Wednesdays since 1 982.Library use shifted from Wednesdays to other days,making the Library and its parking area more crowded.The Town has invested a great deal in the facilities and in the book and magazine collections.It is a shame to lock the doors at times people would make good use of these valuable resources.The Library appropriation is less than 2 cents of the tax dollar. The Library uses volunteers to the greatest extent of any similar agency we know of and 60 people give more than 2,400 hours a year.We gratefully acknowledge,on behalf of users and taxpayers,this valuable help. The Library's membership in the Old Colony Library Network improved service during the year.OCLN is a computerized network of 21 public libraries.A new computer system was installed in February at the central site in Canton.The Library has installed public access catalog terminals and now patrons can search the collections of 2 1 libraries.The staff can send electronic mail to member libraries,increasing the speed with which books and information are exchanged between libraries.We are continuing the task of entering our holdings into the computer file.As of January 1,1991,we have entered 48%of adult books. We no longer type and file catalog cards. The board welcomed new Trustee Lucille McLoughlin,following her election in April. Mrs.McLoughlin has been a long-time member of the Friends of the Library and a volunteer 163 in the Library. The board conducted a formal performance evaluation of the Chief Librarian,and the Chief Librarian conducted evaluations of the staff.The staff voted to form a collective bargaining unit.The Board of Trustees and the Board of Selectmen have recognized the unit; negotiations have not yet begun. During the Summer,the children's librarian conducted a reading incentive program in cooperation with the schools in which 122 children read 2,200 books. The school department used a Federal grant to create a new collection in the public library,the Early Childhood Resource Collection of books and nonbook materials,for parents and teachers.An annotated bibliography of the collection is available at the Library and at the office of the School Superintendent. We gratefully acknowledge gifts totaling $460 to the book fund in memory of loved ones.A list of the gifts and books purchased may be seen in the gift notebook in the New Book Room. In fiscal year 1990,the Library loaned over 77,000 items for home use.This equals 30 loans per open hour,or 1 1 loans per resident.(Average rate of loans in Massachusetts public libraries is 5.7 per resident.)If the average value of a loaned item is $20,then these loans are worth more than $200 per resident.In-house use of materials,facilities and staff is probably worth another $200.The total tax cost of operating the Library is about $31 per resident. Correction to last year's report:the endowment funds produce 5.4%of the operating budget (not 20%). Respectfully submitted, Richard E.Hayes,Chief Librarian Recreation Commission It is with distinct pleasure that the report of your Recreation Commission is submitted, as we enter our fifteenth year of full-time operation and service to our community. During Fiscal Year 1990,the Recreation Commission served 6,128 individuals with a wide spectrum of services designed for residents of all ages.Most services are now provided via 100%financially self-supporting systems,reflecting no direct costs to taxpayers.At this juncture,only four children's/youth programs are conducted with budgeted monies;all other services must generate 100%of the associated costs of any given service. While approximately $20,000 of budget money was expended for the operation of the four programs and issuance of beach stickers,those activities generated $45,274.25 for the General Fund only.General Fund revenues are important to all residents,as those monies are collectively applied towards off-setting the tax rate the following Fiscal Year.To allow for a more finite perspective,the FY 1990 recreation budget of $60,349.30 generated a total cash flow of $89,422.25,of which $45,274.25 went to the General Fund.Further,for the $15,015.00 budget replacement deficit,over $200,000 worth of services were provided for residents.The $15,015.00 deficit,the difference between the recreation budget and revenue deposited in the General Fund only,translates as follows:The FY 1990 tax rate was $9.60, accounting for a total tax levy of $9,123,493.44.$15,000.00 is .16%of the tax rate,making 164 our cost 1 1/2 cents to each tax payer.Naturally,we are pleased with our low financial impact upon taxpayers and high yield of services ratio;however,especially impressive are the reasons that have manifested this situation,which remain particularly satisfying.Community interest,participation and support,are the three factors dictating the ratio of service vs.cost, as it has been via community participation that these equations exist year after year. Participation comes in many forms,aside from just activity attendance levels.While the level of program/activity participation remains exceptionally high,it has been participa- tion in other areas that remains impressive and vital.Volunteerism indicative of a number of community attributes,continues at an extremely high level,allowing for many far-reaching, acute impacts regarding our services,but also impacting on the general quality of life in our community. Especially during the past three years,a remarkable level of support and interest has been provided via still another means of participation.That is,donation and gift.Currently, the Recreation Commission can offer some events/activities only because of private donations supporting specific services.Summer band concerts have been financed for the past two years through the generosity of the South Shore Playhouse Associates,Inc.,coupled with a matching grant from the American Federation of Musicians.The Annual Easter Egg Hunt is sponsored fully by numerous donations from residents,civic and business organi- zations,business establishments of Cohasset,and volunteer help. The Recreation Commission wrestles constantly with the conflicts between the concepts of 100%financial self-support and equal access of all residents to all services at all times.It is the role and duty of public recreation to insure equal and universal access of residents to all leisure and associated services.To account for accessibility,it remains essential to keep per capita fee charges as low as possible while retaining the capability of reducing,or waiving fee charges upon request.Allowing for this condition can cause conflict with the concepts and abilities encountered with achievement of absolute financial indepen- dence.The Recreation Commission expends much effort towards these considerations in the best interests of all residents. The Recreation Commission has facilities to oversee and maintain this function.It has been through the continued auspices of numerous Town departments and organizations that repair and maintenance is facilitated.We are especially grateful and indebted to the Tree, Park and Cemetery,Highway,Wire,and School departments of their continued efforts on our behalf. Our capability to purchase or lease equipment/supplies/materials,or facilities,is extremely restricted and it has been via the continued cooperation of the School Department, Cohasset Soccer Club,and Cohasset Basketball Boosters Club that we have been able to provide beyond the level of our financial ability.(It has been because of coordinated and cooperative efforts of numerous organizations,town departments,and residents that much can be accounted for.) The seven-member,elected Recreation Commission volunteer time,effort,and expertise.The focus of concern of the Commission is serving the best interest of all residents. Recreation Commission meetings are held at least once monthly,and all meetings are open 165 to the public.It is through direct input,feedback and community involvement that we are best able to serve. Respectfully submitted, John M.Worley,Director Richard P.Barrow,Chairman Gerard A.Buckley,Vice-Chairman Mary K.Muncey,Secretary Terese E.Duggan Shelanne S.Durkin Stephen C.Endris Donald E.Staszko Social Service League The Social Service League,under contract with the Board of Health,offers Public Health Nursing services to Town residents.These services include:monthly Keep Well Clinics,health promotion and education programs,and communicable disease follow-up. The League office at 1 6 Highland Avenue is open for blood pressure checks,blood sugar and anemia screening,tuberculin testing,and general health consultation.The office hours are Monday,Wednesday,and Friday from 8:30 to 9:30 a.m.12:30 to 1:30 p.m. Regular Keep Well Clinics were held at the monthly meetings of the 60+Club,at senior citizen housing,60 Elm Street,and at the Senior Center luncheons at the Parish House.These clinics are open to all Town residents. Additional clinics held this year included:a lead screening for the Town's pre- schoolers,a lazy eye screening at the Town's nursery schools,a blood pressure clinic at the Post Office,three mammography screenings,two flu immunization clinics,tuberculin testings at the Stop &Shop and Chart House restaurant,and two cholesterol screenings. The Annual Health Fair on May 10 provided residents the opportunity to participate in approximately twenty health screenings and programs,and to become familiar with various resources and agencies available in our community. The League will continue to work cooperatively with the Board of Health Agent,Joe Godzik,the members of the Board of Health,the Senior Center,and the Council on Aging, for the purpose of enhancing health awareness and promoting optimum health among the senior population and all the residents in the community. The Nursing Committee meets regularly and continues to offer support and ideas for new programs which will help to meet the diverse health needs of our Town residents reflected in our yearly statistics. A special word of thanks is expressed to our many volunteers for their loyal service and assistance to the League.

Public Health Nurse EDUCATION South Shore Regional Vocational/Technical High School We often hear in today's economy references to improving the value of a product or service by adding something to it,or improving its efficiency,or polishing it to a higher sheen.In the jargon of economists it is called "value added".The most important national product or resource we have is clearly our children.Most of us take great pains to select or encourage only those activities or inputs into our children's lives that will add to their character,improve there intellectual skills,strengthen their bodies and make them more competitive in a increasingly competitive work place.In short,we too do what we can to "add value"to our children's lives. For the past 29 years,South Shore Regional Vocational Technical High School has been adding value to the lives of thousands of students from Southeastern Massachusetts.In fact,it has added significant */alue to the economy and social life of the South Shore area. Nearly 31%of our graduates over the years have gone on to assume leadership and/or ownership positions in businesses and industry in our region.That's an added value.Every year South Shore provides dozens of services for our member towns,including printing forms and booklets,providing culinary services to special town projects,painting and decorating municipal buildings,discount culinary and cosmetology services to senior citizens,building houses and additions for local citizens and repairing myriads of town vehicles.This represents not only value added to our member towns,but significant savings for them as well. In truth,your community has added value to South Shore Vo Tech and enhanced its potential to serve the citizens of the region for nearly three decades.The academic and technical education available at South Shore enjoys the reputation of being "top shelf. Every year approximately 80%of our graduates go directly into the work force in the career areas for which they have been trained.On the average,1 5%will go on to college an 3%into the military.Currently there are 409 students enrolled at the school Ninety-six or 23%are female while 3 1 3 or 77%are male.Last June,one student from your community graduated 167 from South Shore,Nicole Woodland. As of October 1,1990,three students from your town are enrolled in several of the present 17 programs offered at the school. South Shore has been proud to serve the community of Cohasset and the region over the years.We appreciate your support and pledge to continue to deliver the highest quality programs it is within our power to provide to you and to your children and to continue to add value to the entire South Shore Community. Respectfully submitted, Laurence J.Mitchell Cohasset Representative School Committee and Superintendent of Schools During this past year the school system has continued to face the challenge presented by the combination of increased enrollment and decreased financial resources.Although enrollment on a K-12 basis increased modestly,the substantial increase at the elementary level necessitated the employment of an additional classroom teacher at the Osgood School. We remain committed to maintaining class sizes in the low 20's at the early elementary level. Since the increase to the school budget originally approved by the Town Meeting was reduced to the 4.5%level as a result of the override vote and decreased state assistance,we were forced to reduce offerings at the secondary level in order to accommodate the increased operating expenses at the elementary level.As a result of these reductions at the secondary level,the comprehensive nature of our high school program has been placed in jeopardy. Should additional reductions be required in the living arts areas the future of comprehensive education in Cohasset will be at real risk.In addition to reduction in the living arts areas, offerings in foreign language *nd physical education were also reduced. Despite these reductions to our educational offerings,we have been able to maintain a strong academic program for our students.This strength is evidenced by the outstanding performance of our students both on standardized achievement tests and State administered basic skills and assessment instruments.These results are due to the dedication of our excellent teaching staff,the support of our parents and the community,and undoubtedly the ability and motivation of our student body.We have,however,reached a point where continued erosion of our educational system cannot be tolerated. If the community expects our students to maintain their competitive status with their counterparts across the State and nationally,then a commitment must be made to support our programs at a level which will ensure the continued academic success of our students. This past year also marked the retirement of Jack Creamer,Principal of the Osgood School.Jack,who was a teacher and administrator in the Cohasset School system for 36 years, will certainly be missed by all.Jack had a true love for the children with whom he worked 168 during his years in Cohasset and this caring attitude is reflected in the warm,supportive environment which typifies the Osgood School. Also during the last year Cohasset joined with the Scituate and Hull School Systems in developing four regional in-service programs for staff.These same three systems are also exploring the expanded use of new technologies to expand both professional development opportunities for our teaching staff as well as additional course offerings for our students.We believe that our faculty will benefit greatly from this opportunity to share educational philosophies and practices with their colleagues from other systems. Reviews of foreign language at the secondary level and reading at the elementary level were completed during the past year.During the present school year we will be reviewing the English and reading curricula at the high school and mathematics in the elementary schools. We believe that this regular review process is essential in order to ensure that our curriculum is relevant to the needs of our student body. Substantial renovations were made to the Osgood School during the past year.These included the construction of three instructional areas in the open space area previously used to house our two kindergarten classes.The boys'and girls'bathrooms at Osgood underwent much needed renovations and both are now handicapped accessible.The heating system was modified so that the severe over and under heating of areas of the building was eliminated and the septic systems at both the Osgood and Deer Hill Schools were rebuilt,.We would like to express our thanks to the various Town departments,including the Highway Department, Tree and Park Department,and the Wire Department,which worked cooperatively to reduce the costs of the septic system installations.We would estimate that these projects were completed at approximately fifty percent of what the cost would have been had they been constructed by private vendors. We sincerely thank all members of the community for their continuing support of the school system and assure you that we will do all in our power to continue to provide high quality education to the children of Cohasset.
