Cohasset Town government had to cope with unusual problems and still deliver the day-to-day services expected by its residents,with an economy still in decline,as evi- denced by high unemployment and lower state tax revenues.Most,if not all,municipali- ties sustained losses in state aid far beyond the percentage reduction in the rest of the state budget,in spite of the passage of a statewide referendum in support of a guaranteed 40%share of state income and sales taxes to be distributed back to the cities and towns. Regionalization has been seen as one possible solution to the Town's fiscal plight, and Town officials have engaged in discussions with neighboring communities to con- sider joint solutions to advance life support ambulance service,fire protection,E9 1 1 pub- lic safety dispatching,and refuse disposal. Cohasset had its lighter moments,too,with the inaugural Harborfest/Arts Festival weekend and the filming of the movie "Housesitter." 1991 KEY ACTIONS AND APPOINTMENTS January Selectmen vote to back President Bush in his deliberations with regard to Saudi Arabia.Clergy hold candlelight vigil on Town Common and a prayer vigil for peace. Budgets are cut again in the face of a stagnant economy and almost certain state aid cuts. February Selectmen endorse South Shore Hospital's proposal for a regional advanced life support ambulance service. March For cost-saving reasons,Selectmen vote to reject private ambulance bids and retain the Town's ambulance service. Proposition 2 1/2 override ballot scheduled for May 18. Public Works Study Committee presents its findings in support of a phased consolidation of several municipal operations. April Town Meeting adopts a by-law regulating smoking in public places,and a non-criminal disposition by-law that authorizes tickets to be given for vio- lations of various Town by-laws. Cohasset voters endorse the restoration of the Greenbush Line of the Old Colony Railroad. May Cohasset Housing Authority's home for the mentally handicapped opened. Village Pump project is completed through the efforts of many citizens led by Jacqueline Dormitzer of the Village Renaissance. Voters approve $146,169 in two general levy override questions,as well as $115,000 Junior/Senior High School renovation questions.Seven other override questions defeated. Selectmen join with S.A.F.E.committee in opposing Cohasset Heights, Ltd.as a Massachusetts Water Resources Authority sludge site. June Selectmen and Town Meeting endorse proposal by non-profit citizens' group to lease Government Island Duplex for community and residential purposes. 17 July August September October November December Annual Town Meeting winds up its business by approving a budget with state aid still uncertain. Police/Fire Station open house held to display newly renovated facility to the public. Selectmen vote not to renew Fire Chief Daniel F.Brock's contract. Successful inaugural Harborfest weekend celebration held in conjunction with South Shore Arts Festival. Town Hall garage renovation is completed with assistance from Norfolk County Rehabilitation Program. Tag-A-Key program to regulate sales of keg beer approved at the request of Drug and Alcohol Committee. Selectmen extend Police Chief Joseph M.Kealey's contract to March 1993. In response to Town Meeting resolution,Selectmen vote to support the sale of the Bates Building to South Shore Habitat for Humanity,Inc. Regional E911 emergency dispatch study gets underway. Harbor improvements to Margin Street floats and Harbor Master's toilet facilities completed with assistance from fishermen and boaters. Bronze dome mounted onto Minot's Light replica at Government Island through efforts of Historical Commission,local craftsmen and volunteers. Filming of movie "Housesitter"turns Cohasset into Dobbs Mill for a week. Hurricane Bob downs trees and causes extended Town-wide power outage. Local SHARE program started by Social Service League with assistance from the Council on Aging offers discounted food to community volun- teers.Town provides use of Town Hall Auditorium at no cost. Special Town Meeting balances budget after $275,000 cut in state aid,and rejects a three-year contract settlement with the Police union. Town Clerk Frances L.Marks announces her retirement after twenty-two years of dedicated service. Major coastal storm batters Cohasset,causing damage to homes,seawalls, beaches,and roads. Local business preference purchasing policy adopted at request of Cham- ber of Commerce. Assistant Town Clerk Marion L.Douglas appointed Temporary Town Clerk effective January 1,1992. Board votes to offer the Fire Chief's position to John R.Nadeau,Deputy Fire Chief of Sanford,Maine. Water Department secretary Elizabeth J.Maree retires after thirty-two years of dedicated service. 18 ONGOING AGENDA ITEMS The year closed with some unfinished business which should be resolved in the new year.Groundwork for turning the Government Island Duplex into a small civic center should be complete,as well as transfer of the Bates Building to South Shore Habitat for Humanity,Inc.,for affordable housing. Expected public improvements include the anticipated restoration of storm damaged seawalls and the Sandy Beach parking lot.There will be a larger than usual amount of bituminous paving as the state finally relinquishes highway aid monies which have been enriched by the increase in gas tax. The long awaited reconstruction of the Doane Street bridge appears likely to happen this year,as state officials have assured the town that funding is available.Although the permit process is not complete,it is anticipated that the Cohasset Cove dredging project will commence late in 1992. If one takes a closer look at the list of key events of 1991,it becomes quite evident that ordinary citizen volunteers contributed a lot of time and resources in making Cohas- set a great place to live. Our thanks go out also to the veterans of the Kuwait/Saudi Arabian conflict,the qual- ity efforts of Town department heads and employees,and the assistance provided by out- side agencies,including the Norfolk County Engineering Department. The Board of Selectmen take this opportunity to wish everyone a healthy and a more prosperous new year as we look forward to meeting the challenges of 1992.

Committee to Survey Structure and Function of Town Government Section 13 C of the Town of Cohasset by-laws states:"This Committee shall survey the structure of town government and the functions of the various officers,departments, and boards,and shall report from time to time,in writing,at Annual or Special Town Meetings its conclusions and recommendations for action." In 1988 this Committee requested that the Selectmen obtain a Commonwealth of Massachusetts,Department of Revenue,Division of Local Services,Town of Cohasset Revenue and Expenditure Forecast for the five year period encompassing FY90-FY94. The Report was published in February 1989 and was reviewed by the Committee shortly thereafter.This Report projected an increasing gap between revenues and expen- ditures,provided the Town continued its present methods of operation. Our Committee recognized this immediate threat to our level of services and decided to investigate and explore alternate methods of maintaining our services in the face of declining revenues.An initial decision was made to pursue the possibility of Regional- ized services.With the encouragement and assistance of the Board of Selectmen,repre- sentatives from this Committee met with delegates from the surrounding Towns over a period of months.As I had reported at the last Annual Town Meeting these discussions were ongoing but,had not to that point borne fruit,and for reasons unknown to this Com- mittee,we regret,the initial enthusiastic response of our neighbors waned. In these discussions,areas suggested for possible regionalization included Animal Control,Central Lock-up,Central Dispatching and Enhanced 911 Services,Basic Ambu- lance and Advanced Life Support Services,and shared purchase of Heavy Equipment. At the same time this Committee also received and reviewed the new Department of Revenue Annual Figures which compared Cohasset to all of the other cities and towns of the Commonwealth by both population and expenditure by department.This Committee analyzed this data and compared Cohasset to towns of like size as well as neighboring towns. Since Regionalization of service,with the exception of Advanced Life Support,did not receive an enthusiastic response from our neighboring towns,the Committee decided to pursue the possibility of Privatization of services.The closest example that we could find was right here in Cohasset with the Sewer Department.We,therefore,sought to find a town close-by that used private contractors for other public services.We found such a contract in Marshfield.There they had contracted for Basic Ambulance Service and it was successful.The Committee decided to pursue this possibility for our Town. After months of visits to other towns and many discussions about private ambulance service the Committee determined that the most efficient way to maintain and enhance our ambulance service was through Privatization.We therefore asked the Board of Selectmen to draft and circulate a Request for Proposal (RFP)for such service.The Board drew up and advertised an RFP.The results this RFP elicited were not favorable. The Board rejected the bids as submitted.Our committee contacted three ambulance companies who had reviewed the RFP for possible bids.We were told the wording of the RFP was unlike anything they'd ever seen,and,accordingly,they were unable to comply with the bid request. In light of continuing projected overrides this Committee strongly feels that Cohasset is well advised to continue to pursue Privatization of our Basic Ambulance Service.We also believe Cohasset would be well served to pursue regional Advanced Life Support service. 27 We regret to report that the latest information from the Department of Revenue bears out its 1989 Projections.This Committee will continue to encourage new ideas and con- tinue to investigate options for providing more cost effective forms of service. Respectfully submitted this sixth day of April 1991, F.Roy Fitzsimmons,Chairman Wilson Pile,Secretary Jack D.Bryant Jean Cotton Patricia Facey Dennis Roth James Whelan RESOLUTION offered by Alfred S.Moore,Jr.,Chariman of the Planning Board. BE IT RESOLVED THAT: WHEREAS Daniel C.Cotton has served the Town of Cohasset as a member of the Planning Board for ten years and has chosen not to stand for re-election,and WHEREAS Daniel C.Cotton previously served the Town as a member of the School Committee for three years;as a member of the Advisory Committee for six years; and as Chairman of the Committee to Study Town Office Space Needs for three years, and WHEREAS Daniel C.Cotton has been a community leader in planning and zoning matters as well as in other areas where the quality of life in Cohasset was at issue NOW THEREFORE,be it resolved that the citizens of Cohasset in Town Meeting assembled on this sixth day of April,1991,hereby record their deep appreciation of the exemplary service rendered by Daniel C.Cotton,and Be it further resolved that,with the continued esteem of his fellow citizens,he may enjoy good health,happiness,and great success in all future endeavors. Resolution is adopted unanimously.

This information is available for public inspection during normal office hours. Respectfully submitted, Frances L.Marks Town Clerk of Cohasset Town Archivist During 1991 the Town's two controlled-environment Public Records vaults in Town Hall cellar have been in continuous use,holding both the Town's modern permanent records and the historical records relating to Town government,as required under the Public Records Laws of Massachusetts.With cooperation of the Board of Selectmen and the Wire Department additional lighting has been installed within one of the two vaults, gready improving working conditions therein.The Archivist has completed an inventory listing of Town books and document boxes stored in the archive vaults,this being the first comprehensive survey of Cohasset's historical and modern Public Records.Additionally, many books have been tagged and labelled for identification as permanent records.Dur- ing 1991 the Archivist has made progress in organizing the Town's map and plan files,a project needing more work.State statue and regulation requires that all permanent Public Records be stored in a fireproof and climate-controlled environment.The Town archivist urges that all offices and departments continue to make such records available for storage in the vaults provided for that purpose. The Archivist wishes to express sincere appreciation to retiring Town Clerk Frances Marks whose continuing efforts forwarded the establishment of a modern Public Records vault system in Cohasset. Respectfully submitted, David H.Wadsworth,Town Archivist Bylaw Committee The Bylaw Committee has reviewed those articles proposed for Town Meetings which involve changes in or additions to the Town Bylaws.The Committee has also reviewed such articles passed by Town Meeting and accepted by the Attorney General, and has directed that these changes be incorporated in copies of the Bylaws in the office of the Town Clerk. Changes in the Bylaws have been numerous during the past two years,and many copies of the Bylaws held by individuals may not be complete or up-to-date.Persons requiring revised copies of the Bylaws should obtain them from the office of the Town Clerk. Respectfully submitted, Mary E.Gainor,Chairman W.Roger Nast Louis F.Eaton,Jr. Richard A.Henderson,Town Counsel (ex officio) Frances L.Marks,Town Clerk (ex officio) 122 Cable T.V.Council The community Television Council is appointed by the Selectmen.It meets periodi- cally to ensure that Continental Cablevision complies with the terms of its contract with the Town and to advise the Selectman on Cable TV related issues as they arise. One such issue was the decision to increase rates on April 1st.Because of de- regulation of the cable industry,the Town has no real power to counter these increases. The council,however,studied the rates of other towns in Southeastern Massachusetts, some of which have other providers,looked over additional documents from the com- pany,talked with our counterparts in other towns,and concluded,somewhat reluctantly, that the company's increases were fair,given the quality of their product and the compa- rability of rates.We noted that "fair"does not necessarily mean affordable,and cus- tomers may obviously implement their own rate controls by selectively dropping cable services. Relief may be in sight,as new federal legislation would return significant control of cable rates to the municipalities. Continental Cablevision continues to be a quality company and has gone out of its way to be a good neighbor.As indicated in their 1991 annual report,their cameras cov- ered more events than ever before,and the stream of quality,locally originated program- ming continuous unabated,including the award-winning Pierson to Person,CHS Video- time,Selectmen's meetings,The Fitness Connection,The Business Show,McNamara on Money,Fatima Today,and The Historical Society Presents...A Living History. Newsbeat 53 specials focused on many events and issues impacting our community, including the departure and return of local troops to the Persian Gulf,election coverage and candidate debates,telethons and news events coverage. They have an active training program,and conduct numerous workshops throughout the year to train volunteers.They are even more involved in Cohasset Schools,providing a program called Cable in the Classroom that provides a multitude of commercial-free educational television programs over cable,and a monthly magazine that lists them by curriculum area.Continental's Community Coordinator,Deb Duggan,has spent many hours in the Deer Hill School and the High School working on television productions with the students. The Cable Council actively solicits suggestions or complaints regarding cable TV in Cohasset,and encourages attendance at our meetings.The Council is short two members and is seeking new members this year. Respectfully submitted, John D.Walp Shelanne S.Durkin Marek L.Maas John R.H.Packard,Chairman (resigned) Tamsin E.Elliot Harbor Master 1991 was a very successful boating season.There were no boating fatalities this year. The season began with the continued maintenance of docks and ramps.Rebuilding of the Margin Street float and ramp was completed with the help of Robert Baggs.Thanks to Bob,all floats and ramps around the harbor are in good shape. 123 In June 1991,we had the Arts Festival and Harborfest,with many activities sched- uled around the harbor,including a parade of boats,which was very successful with no incidents. On July 4,there was a display of fireworks at the harbor sponsored by Mr.Peter Roy. With the Assistance of the Cohasset Fire Department to patrol,there were no incidents. In August and October two major storms occurred of hurricane force winds.The har- bor was very fortunate to sustain very minor damage. The Harbor Department assisted thirty-one disabled boaters this year which was down from last year. Addition of a bathroom to the Harbor Master's Office was completed. I would like to express my appreciation to Harold Litchfield,Tony Sestito,and the Public Works Department for their assistance in installing the bathroom at the Harbor Master's office and the removal of debris from the harbor following the two storms. Also,I express thanks and appreciation to Cliff Dickson,Dave Marks and the fisher- men for their assistance throughout the summer and especially during the two storms. Irving L.Gadow,Jr. Harbor Master Insurance Committee Fiscal Year 1991 continued the ground work and direction in the area of Health Bene- fits for Town employees.The Town of Cohasset Employees Health Insurance Coalition Bargaining Committee was formed and spent considerable time formulating a plan,eval- uating alternatives,and reaching a conclusion on the best form for the Health Insurance program to take.Unfortunately,we were unable to come up with a cost effective alterna- tive which could replace Bay State Health and Medical East as the Town's Health care alternatives.This was extremely disappointing. The process did,however,produce positive results.We had a solid group of dedi- cated individuals from all parts of the Town.This coalition group came to understand the difficult issues and long term direction of our situation.While we did not reach any dra- matic conclusion,we were able to have in place a working group which will be ready to move forward when the opportunity presents itself. On the property and casualty side,the Town has been favored with a complete,com- prehensive,sound,and competitive program.As long as the insurance market place con- tinues to be stable we see no change in the program.We did make some fine tuning changes which we expect will be cost effective over the long run. The Committee is always available to discuss any points of interest with interested parties. Respectfully submitted, Robert C.Ernest Robert J.Murphy Samuel W.Wakeman,Chairman Personnel Committee The weakness in the economy and state reductions in disbursements to the cities and towns in the Commonwealth made 1991 a difficult year for contract negotiations.The Fire Department Union contract was heavily negotiated but ended up in fact finding.The Police Department Union reached agreement with the Personnel Board for 0%raises in 1991-1992 and 4%for each of the next two years.This contract was defeated at the Spe- 124 cial Town Meeting.Also reflecting the tight times was the defeat of any increases in the pay scale for other Town employees.Prior to Town Meeting,some employees of the Town voted to establish two new unions.The Konohasset Clerical and Custodial Associ- ation is expected to begin negotiations in early 1992.The Library workers also voted to form the C.L.A.S.S.union in 1991.Negotiations with the Personnel Board have been ongoing and a contract is near completion. Despite the budgetary difficulties,there was not a reduction of the Town's non-school work force in 1991.1992 promises to be another year of difficult negotiations in the face of continued reduction of revenues. Respectfully submitted, Joan S.Brown,Co-Chairman Barbara J.Moore,Co-Chairman Peter F.Pacetti Marek L.Laas Frederick J.Stobart 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 collec- tively,with members of other committees,Town officials,interested citizens,and repre- sentatives from other communities. At the 1991 Annual Town Meeting the Committee reported its concerns over the long-term fiscal forecast for the Town,its unsuccessful efforts at promoting regionaliza- tion of services,and its recommendation to pursue the privatization of ambulance service. Since then the Committee has surveyed public safety organization and staffing in similar communities with the goal of maintaining a level of public safety that is acceptable to the Town with a cost that is equal or less than the present structure.In addition,the Commit- tee reviewed the DPW Study Committee Report,and,at the request of the Selectmen, looked at the office of the Town Clerk. Towards the close of the year the Committee was invited to look into regionalization possibilities by a neighboring community.As the latest information from the Department of Revenue continues to project an increased gap between revenues and expenditures,we will continue to investigate options and encourage new ideas. In the course of the year the Chairman and Secretary were reelected,and Dennis Roth was elected Vice Chairman.Long-term member Jean Cotton retired and was replaced by Jean Muir.The Committee wishes to salute Jean Cotton for her many contri- butions to the Committee and the Town.

The 1991 Annual Town meeting accepted Ch.59,Sec.5,CI.50,of the Mass.General 1 Laws by adopting an article inserted by the Board of Assessors,which in essence allows a property tax exemption for improvements to residential property,if necessary,to provide housing for a person at least 60 years old.The amount to be exempted is the increase in value to the residential property that is attributable to the improvements or alterations up j to S500 in taxes due. The Assessors present the following property value information for all taxable prop- erty in Cohasset: Type of Property Total Assessed Value Residential $778,983,600 Open space 1,166,800 Commercial 67,421,900 Industrial 6,276,900 Personal Property 8,155,800 In Fiscal Year 1992 the tax rate was $11.48. In 1992 the Board of Assessors will continue to streamline office functions,search ir untapped sources of revenue,and strengthen taxpayer relations.

request of the Planning: Board we reviewed and commented on four different projects:1)Red Lion Inn:Pro-i posed outdoor drinking area;2)818 Chief Justice Cushing Highway:Proposed retail shop improvements;3)11 Elm Street:Proposed combination of historic building on top of new building;4)391 Chief Justice Cushing Highway:Proposed Sunoco gas station improvements. At the request of the Cohasset Board of Selectmen we reviewed and commented on the condition of the duplex residential building at Government Island. At the request of the Cohasset Lightkeepers Corp.we attended a meeting to review architects'drawings for proposed development of the same residential building at Gov- ernment Island. At the request of the Cohasset Chamber of Commerce we made a presentation at a meeting to discuss possible improvements to Cohasset Village. Respectfully submitted, Gordon S.Hislop,Chairman Robert A.Stansell,Jr. Eileen M.Corbett Nancy S.Garrison Peter O'Connor (resigned 10/20/90) Maxwell R.Pounder Kathleen R.Fox Robert M.Egan (ex officio) Robert C.Hunter,Associate Conservation Commission The Cohasset Conservation Commission serves the Town in a regulatory and advi- sory capacity.It is the only official Town agency with the specific duty of protecting our natural resources through the state regulations and the Cohasset Wetlands Bylaw. During the year we were extremely busy working with both homeowners and con- tractors protecting our wetlands and helping with homeowners'needs.In addition to a very busy year,the Commission's workload and responsibilities were increased greatly by the Hallowe'en storm which caused tremendous damage along the coastline. Throughout this time of crisis homeowners and the Commissioners worked closely together.This cooperation was mutually beneficial at a very difficult time. Recently we lost a very respected Commissioner and member of our community,Bill Parmenter.He will be greatly missed by all of us who served with him. Respectfully submitted, Merle S.Brown,Chairman Veneta P.Roebuck,Vice Chairman John Kent Bryant Thomas J.Callahan Patricia C.Buckley Jeffrey C.Waal William H.Parmenter (resigned) 162 Board of Health In 1991 Michael Sullivan was re-elected for a second three year term.During reor- ganization of the Board,Sharon L.Becker was elected Chairman,Mr.Sullivan,Clerk, with William E.Baird,P.E.the third elected board member.Joseph R.Godzik,V.M.D., continued as health agent with Carol Oteri-Puffer serving as administrative secretary. Operation of the Recycling Transfer Facility (RTF)remains under the direction of the Board of Health.A sudden,unexplainable increase in solid waste tonnage for the last six months of the year will cause a significant budget deficit for FY92 if the trend continues. The permit fee for residential use was increased from $52.00 in 1991 to $75.00 for 1992 for the first vehicle.An additional fee of $25.00 for the second vehicle was established. Business permits will be $200.00.This increase maintains the ratio of fees to taxation established at the opening of the RTF.Fees pay about one-half of the cost of disposal. The increased cost to businesses is the result of increased costs of recycling:i.e.,card- board is no longer free but costs the town up to $129 per ton.The cost of trash disposal is $63 per ton.About one-third of the solid waste brought to the RTF is recycled.The clo- sure of the landfill has not progressed.State cutbacks in personnel and a low priority for the project have left the Town without approvals to proceed with the closure. The Board has worked diligently in reviewing the proposed expansion of Cohasset Heights Ltd.Landfill (CHL).The Secretary of Environmental Affairs required that a new Draft Environmental Impact Report be submitted which would address the Board's public health and environmental protection concerns.The plan to collect and burn the gases emitted from the landfill is still at the Department of Environmental Protection awaiting some technical data from CHL for final permit approval.Engineering studies conducted by the Board indicated "no threat to Lily Pond"as a result of contamination leaving the landfill. The project to study the water quality of the Gulf River continues in conjunction with the Gulf Association,the High School,and the Water Department.Assistance is also being given to a Hull student project regarding water quality in Straits Pond.This project hopes to develop a means of midge control in the Pond without the use of pesticides. Through a grant from the Norfolk County-Newton Lung Association,radon testing was conducted at all three schools.Only a remote storage area in the Osgood School tested above the level of concern of 4 picocuries in the thirty areas that were tested. Improvement in air quality in the high school was realized through a new heating filter maintenance program recommended by the Board. A new by-law regulating exposure to environmental tobacco smoke proposed by the Board was adopted at Town Meeting.This is one of the most comprehensive by-laws or regulations in the Commonwealth.Restaurants must now devote 75%of their seating to non-smokers.Employers must essentially eliminate non-smokers from being exposed to environmental tobacco smoke in the workplace.The American Cancer Society honored Sharon Becker at its annual meeting in Atlanta,GA for her work on smoking issues. The Board has pursued litigation against the owners of Cushing Plaza to repair the failed septic system.It is anticipated that the repair will be accomplished in 1992. Respectfully submitted, Sharon L.Becker,Chairman Michael H.Sullivan,Clerk William E.Baird,P.E. 163 Recycling Committee The Recycling Committee has had a busy and successful year.The ever-changing markets and more stringent vendor requirements for our recycled products have been a challenge. Paper and glass continue to produce the largest quantity of the items recycled.Cor- rugated cardboard and plastic run a close second. A large semi-trailer loaned to the committee is being used to store plastic containers. Recycling Services of Boston processes the plastic at the RTF with its chipper. The Salvation Army agreement to remove clothing weekly from the container sup- plied by them has been so successful a second bin has been added.Other Boutique items such as toys,etc.,are also given to the Salvation Army. Compost produced from collected leaves is available to be taken by homeowners and also is used along the roadway entrance to the RTF Tin cans are collected in a bin on site. Tires collected for a fee are being picked up by a vendor from the storage trailer when full. Iron and steel,including large appliances,are stockpiled.When a sufficient amount is accumulated the vendor crushes/services the items on the premises and removes them. Aluminum is not being recycled separately at this time,as the preparation require- ments are too labor intensive.Aluminum is placed in the steel pile for disposal. Waste oil is collected and placed in a special storage tank in the Supervisor's build- ing.A program has been arranged for residential disposal of this hazardous waste. Batteries are recycled as they accumulate. Returnables are collected in the Boy Scout building,sorted and 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.A new RTF entrance sign was donated and erected by Troop 28,Boy Scouts of America. The Town was awarded a five compartment bin that is to be used for magazine col- lection and possibly computer paper. 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, for their efforts to make recycling the success that it is. Respectfully submitted, Arthur L.Lehr,Chairman Merle S.Brown John F.Hubbard Planning Board The Cohasset Planning Board,under the authority granted to it by M.G.L.Chapter 40A,Chapter 41,and the Cohasset Zoning By-laws,fulfilled the following responsibili- ties in 1991: Reviewed 12 Subdivisions Not Requiring Approvals; Reviewed for initial consideration or final approvals four Site Plans for the Highwa Business,Light Industry and Downtown Business Districts; Continued monitoring of approved Cluster Developments,Subdivisions,and Site Plans under construction; ' 164 Amended the definition of a "Subdivision"as found in the Rules &Regulations Gov- erning the Subdivision of Land in Cohasset; Under the direction of Daniel C.Cotton the Board spent many hours reviewing and correcting the Zoning By-laws to eliminate grammatical,punctuation and spelling errors contained in the official text; The Board held public hearings concerning seven articles for the Zoning By-laws. These By-laws included proposals for new and/or amended definitions,the use of trailers on active projects,open display of Christmas Items,limited use of wetlands,etc.,in determining maximum coverage,and regulations regarding signage. 1991 also brought changes of the Board Membership.Daniel C.Cotton retired after giving ten years of invaluable service to this Board and many more years to the Town. The Board welcomed Jean H.Simonds. Respectfully submitted, Alfred S.Moore,Jr.,Chairman William J.Good,Vice Chairman Jean H.Simonds,Clerk John F.O.Toole Robert H.Sturdy Metropolitan Area Planning Council MAPC provided staff support to the SSC (South Shore Coalition),of which Cohasset is a member;coordinated review of the Transportation Improvement Program;facilitated discussions and public input to the amendments to the State Implementation Plan for Air Quality;attended on behalf of member communities all PMT (Program for Mass Trans- portation)meetings to hear regional concerns. MAPC also identified commuter parking locations in the South Shore Coalition sub- region;introduced and offered participation in the Pavement Management Program;pro- vided population/age group forecasts;subregional and community census profiles;census data analysis;mapping of land resource protection areas;and coordinated review and input to "A Strategic Metropolitan Transportation System"as part of MetroPlan 2000. MetroPlan 2000 continuing efforts include development of the Transportation,Land Resources and Housing Elements of the Plan with input by the subregions and policy committees. The South Shore Coalition is continuing its Solid Waste study which has been delayed due to funding constraints.The Coalition is actively working on regional puchasing and shared services especially in this difficult financial time. Respectfully submitted, Martha K.Gjesteby Representative for Cohasset Plymouth County Mosquito Control Project The Project is a special district created by the State Legislature in 1957,and is now composed of 24 Plymouth County towns,the City of Brockton,and the Town of Cohasset in Norfolk County.On July 1 the Town of Abington rejoined the Project.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. 165 In 1991,the Project was again challenged by the threat of the mosquito transmitted disease Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE),but rainfall did not reach levels of the previ- ous year.Residential complaints were received earlier than normal due to the anticipated EEE threat and resultant media coverage.Efforts were again aimed at larval mosquitoes starting with the spring brood,and aerial larviciding was expanded using B.T.I.,an envi- ronmentally selective bacterial agent.Upon emergence of the spring brood of adult mosquitoes,ultra-low-volume spraying began.All available manpower responded to requests concerning mosquitoes,and all sprayers and trucks performed well with little time lost to breakdowns. In April of 1991,the Massachusetts Department of Public Health issued an advisory on EEE to local Boards of Health,Mosquito Control Districts,and all campgrounds in Southeastern Massachusetts.Virus was first isolated from Culiseta melanura,a bird bit- ing species collected in Carver the week of July 28.The Project responded by targeting areas of high risk.Concern of transmission of EEE to both horses and humans devel- oped,and on August 2 a Westborough horse died with symptoms consistent with EEE. On August 8 another horse from the same farm was destroyed.However,no human or equine cases occurred in Plymouth County,although additional virus-positive bird biting mosquitoes were collected. Historical case data suggest a return in 1992 of the EEE virus,which runs in a two or three year cycle. 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:2,144 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 95 inspections were made to 69 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 140 com- plaints answered. Mosquito Survey:A systematic sampling of mosquitoes in Cohasset indicates that Coquillettidia perturans was the most abundant species.Other import species collected included Aedes vexans and Culexpipiens. 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, Carolyn Brennan,Chairman Robert A.Thorndike,Vice Chairman Richard E.Kurgger,Sr.,Secretary William J.Mara Leighton F.Peck,Jr. Commissioners 166 Mosquito Control Committee The Mosquito Control Committee was formed in December 1990 by the Board of Selectmen to assist in implementing a plan for mosquito control pertaining to Eastern Equine Encephalitis,and to educate the public on methods of protection and prevention. To that end,the committee met with the following on separate occasions:Mr.John Doane,of the Cape Cod Mosquito Control Project,Mr.Dan Daly,Public Relations Offi- cer for the Plymouth County Mosquito Control Project,Mr.John Kenney,Cohasset resi- dent and Mass.Pesticide Inspector,Ms.Laurie Martinelli,Director of Public Policy for the Mass.Audubon Society,Peter Laugelle,Cohasset Tree and Park Department,and Dr.John Godzik,Board of Health Agent. In addition,an individual member of the committee attended the following pertinent meetings:A meeting at Stonehill College in which Massachusetts Departments of Health and Human Services and Environmental Affairs presented a joint program,"Environ- mental Day"at the State House sponsored by the Mass.Audubon Society,at which time discussions were held on mosquito control with Senator Hedlund and Representative Murray. Additionally,educational material was distributed throughout the town. Because the summer was dry,the threat of EEE was negligible.The Committee formed the following policy statement for future years:It is the Mosquito Control Com- mittee's hope that all efforts to maintain mosquito control be focused early in the Spring on natural methods of control such as the natural bacteria,BTI,water management,pub- lic education,and homeowner maintenance.If,however,based upon the State Depart- ment of Health's declaration that a serious human health emergency exists,then spraying of pesticides is considered a reasonable response.A majority of the Committee believes that a serious health emergency should be considered if there is one human case.We would like to focus on long term integrated management so that ultimately pesticide use will not be necessary. In 1992 the committee plans to focus on specific ways in which Cohasset can move toward integrated management,reduce the need for pesticides,and perhaps save the Town money that it now spends on mosquito control.We will also be evaluating the rela- tionship between the Town and the Plymouth County Mosquito Control Project. Respectfully submitted, Charles Gainor Mark L.Friedman,M.D. Alix P.White James L.Gallagher Joan Prescott Busk 167 PUBLIC SAFETY Animal Control During the last year the Animal Control Department received a total of 1241 calls on a variety of animal related problems and complaints. There were 762 dogs licensed in the Town,and of those dogs,582 of them were either spayed or neutered. 34 Court complaints were sought against Cohasset dog owners for violation of the Town's leash law.A total of 125 leash law violation warnings were issued and 21 dogs were impounded. Dog and cat owners must remember to have their pets vaccinated against rabies.The Massachusetts Division of Animal Health is warning all animal care/control agencies that the danger of a rabies outbreak exists.It is imperative that pet owners have their animals vaccinated. Although trying to reach the Animal Control Officer may be frustrating at times,resi- dents should remember that I work just nine hours per week. Respectfully submitted, William P.Quigley Animal Control Officer Civil Defense Civil Defense has changed its name to Emergency Management to be more in keep- ing with duties and responsibilities of the Agency. This past year was uneventful until the fall when Hurricane Bob slammed through our town,causing considerable damage to foliage and trees and affecting our electric wires and poles.Although we did not cut power in Town,supply lines through Norwell and Scituate were damaged and we consequently lost power. An emergency evacuation center was set up at the High School manned by School Personnel,Explorer Post 28,and American Red Cross.Few needed these services,how- ever. All departments responded well to the emergency and the Town was soon back to normal.Storm damage assessment was completed and applications made for reimburse- ment for damaged property. We were barely back to normal when the "no name"Northeaster struck,causing havoc with shore line damage.This emergency was also well handled by our various Town departments with the help of the Army National Guard. An emergency light plant is in process of being assembled from the surplus hospital at Deer Hill Storage,to be made available for emergency illumination. All Town employees,as well as volunteers,are to be complimented on their devotion to duty despite unpleasant conditions. Respectfully submitted, Arthur L.Lehr Director Emergency Management 168 Cohasset Fire Department 1991 marked the 100th anniversary of the Cohasset Fire Department.The year passed without much fanfare,in large part due to a diminishing economy and a planned change in leadership. Cohasset residents can take pride in the fact that fire loss was minimal,there were no fire deaths,and ambulance services improved.The addition of cardiac defibrillation,the continuing education of our EMT's and the growing admiration of our firefighters'com- mitment and dedication to emergency medical services was evident. With the closing of 1991,we reflect on our one hundred year history.We're excited about our future,we recognize the changing environment in which we live,and we antici- pate a transition to a customer driven orientation.Cohasset residents may look toward their Fire/Rescue services and see a dynamic,effective,highly skilled team,responsive to their needs,preventing fire,suppressing it,and providing a high level of pre-hospital emergency medical treatment and transportation. We take this opportunity to thank you,our customers,for your support during the year and your understanding of our future transition challenges.Perhaps our 200th anniversary report will characterize the 1992 year as transformational,a period where we "actively listened",planned and delivered premier services to a premier community,a period where we established a vision of "Fast -Clean -Friendly -Professional -Services -at an exceptional value",a period where we relendessly pursued our vision,our future. We conclude this report with a statistical breakdown of service delivery and reiterate our appreciation of your continuing support.

Wire Inspections:All work done by electrical contractors was inspected by the department and fees turned in to the Town Treasurer. Town Buildings:Electrical work done on Town-owned buildings was completed by the Wire Department. I wish to thank the Board of Selectmen for its cooperation 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 During 1991,the Pleasant Lane land was sub-divided from the school land and was recorded as a separate parcel.We met with the Conservation Commission to discuss the Pleasant Lane site layout and design. 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) DPW Study Committee Editor's Note: The DPW Study Committee presented its Final Report to the Board of Selectmen in March of this year.The full report (too voluminous to be published in its entirety) includes a recommended phased-in consolidation of public works functions.It is available for inspection in the Selectmen's office. 171 Government Island Study Committee Our volunteer committee oversees this unusual piece of property for the Town.We make suggestions regarding maintenance and possible improvements to the Island to the Board of Selectmen.They will authorize expenditures to accomplish our suggestions if they feel they are advisable.These are then voted on at Town Meeting. During 1991 we held three meetings to discuss: 1 . General condition of the Island. 2.Disposition of the Lighthouse Keeper's Duplex. 3.Election of Officers. 4.Status of the reconstruction of the Top of Minot's Light. 5.Other subjects pertinent to the Island. We feel that the Lighthouse Keeper's House is an important tie to Cohasset's History and should be restored to its original appearance.Internal changes,if any,would be made to meet current needs. The Committee firmly believes that Government Island is one of Cohasset's greatest assets,historically,commercially,and recreationally.We want it to be walked,looked at, studied,appreciated,and loved by Townspeople and visitors alike. I wish to thank the members for their attendance,interest,and support.As I have said many times before,this is a committee of volunteers and it takes a certain type of person to assume its responsibility. Respectfully submitted, Hamilton T.Tewksbury,Chairman Richard P.Barrow Robert M.Davenport Vivian H.McCormack Noel A.Ripley Irving E.Gadow Jr.,Harbor Master. Highway Department During the months of January,February and March we concentrated our efforts on snow removal and ice control.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,nine basins were rebuilt and one new manhole was installed.Fifty-six feet of pipe were installed. 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 debris.During the fol- lowing months the sweeper was out frequently,keeping the streets clean. During the year my men replaced or repaired signs where needed. The Highway Department was also active in road resurfacing in 1991.With money entirely from State Grants,Elm Street was resurfaced.The Department also resurfaced various sidewalks around town.Using 500 tons of asphalt,various roads were grader patched. We installed the handicap ramp at the Fire/Police Station and prepared the parking area for asphalt. 172 While the weather was good we installed the septic system at the Harbor Master's building.We then rebuilt the retaining wall at Jerusalem and Gammons Roads.We then installed an electric trench for the Common pump. When asked by the Recreation Department to help out with the basketball courts at the Joseph Osgood School and at Beechwood Park we were able to resurface the courts and repair the basketball nets.These projects are most rewarding as they benefit the Town's youths.We also removed the seesaws and merry-go-round,as they were found to be in need of repair. Finally,the seasons'storms kept us busy.During the month of August,we worked with the Tree &Park Department cleaning up after Hurricane Bob.Most recendy,it was the no-name storm that kept us busy cleaning sand and stone from roadways and rebuild- ing damaged fences and walls. I would like to extend special thanks to my men and to Peter Laugelle of the Tree & Park Department,Stephen Wigmore of the Wire Department,and Joseph Hamilton of the Water Department for their continued support and cooperation. Respectfully submitted, Harold W.Litchfield Highway Surveyor Sewer Commission The Town's wastewater treatment plant continues to give excellent service and is one of the better performing wastewater plants in the Commonwealth. State funding for the expansion of the sewer system was unavailable in 1991.In view of the lower funding levels that will apply when funds do become available again,the Commissioners are investigating less costly alternatives.We have been in contact with the Department of Environmental Protection on this.It is not possible to predict the out- come because of the Town's and State's straitened financial circumstances. Respectfully submitted, Edward M.Guild,Chairman Henry A.Rattenbury R.Gary Vanderweil, Sewer Commissioners 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 the 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. Due to Hurricane Bob and the Hallowe'en Storm,the Tree &Park Department was very busy.We had a lot of damage but we have cleaned up approximately 90%of what we can see.There will still be storm damage that will appear in the Spring,broken branches,split trees,etc. The Tree &Park Department is going to refurbish the practice field at Milliken Field which will involve loam,reseeding and aerating.The field is closed for the Spring and Summer and will be opened in September. 173 The Tree &Park Department is in the process of issuing User Fees for use of all the parks,commons and beaches. The Tree,Park &Cemetery Department would like to thank the departments that assisted in cleaning up after Hurricane Bob and the Hallowe'en Northeaster.And also all those who assisted our department during the year. Water Department Production for the year was 214,160,000 gallons.This increase reflects the heavy consumption due to the very dry summer months.A concerted effort is being made to reduce expenses,yet allow for maintenance increases on the treatment facility,which is now fourteen years old.Improvements to the distribution system have been ongoing.An additional water main on Beechwood Street will be completed in 1992. The land at Lily Pond purchased in 1990 was named "The Robert S.Pape Reserva- tion"and endorsed by Town Meeting Resolution. This year cannot pass without acknowledging the thirty-two years of service to the department of Betty Maree.As Secretary/Accounting Clerk,she has been an asset to the Town,The Department,and the customers.Happy Retirement,Betty. The Department would like to acknowledge the cooperation of other Town Depart- ments,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 174 HUMAN SERVICES Council On Aging The Cohasset Council on Aging (CO A)worked creatively in 1991 implementing its role as an advocate for all Cohasset's senior citizens. The Council is committed to meeting the needs of all Cohasset residents 60 years of age and older through advocacy,services,education,recreation,and outreach.We have continued to work toward these goals through the diligent efforts of the volunteer nine- member Council on Aging Board.It is because of the leadership and efforts of this Coun- cil that the program continues to grow and meet more of the needs of the community. COA Board of Directors: The Council on Aging Board is primarily responsible for setting policy,doing short and long term planning,developing the fiscal budget.This year has been most difficult with such a small operating budget.The Council's 1990-1991 budget for those 1488 elders was $37,708.17,or $25.35 per senior.As with most town departments our budget consists mainly of personnel (who provide the services),as well as small general mainte- nance for the van. Friends of the Council on Aging: We owe a very special thanks to the Friends of the Council on Aging for all of their hard work and strong financial commitment over this past year.An important part of the organization's income was derived from projects like the Flea Market on the Common, Queen of Back Bay,and the Rotary Road Race.Special thanks go to Karen Bartow and her board for their work with the Rotary Club and local businesses for allowing programs and day trips to be offered at reduced rates. Grant Awards: In September the Council on Aging was awarded two grants from the Executive Office of Elder Affairs: Serving Health Information Needs of Elders (SHINE).We received a grant in the amount of $9,010 to be used for the period of one year for the continuation of the SHINE Program for FY92. Formula Grant.We received the annual Formula Grant in the amount of $2,299, awarded by the Executive Office of Elder Affairs,to purchase a business computer.This will give the Council the ability to track budgets,income and expenses,print monthly newsletters,and collect and maintain data on all clients under the Council. Senior Center: The Senior Center continues to provide a central mechanism for the delivery of ser- vices and activities of Cohasset senior citizens.The Center offers a familiar and conve- nient location for those needing assistance as well as an easily identifiable mechanism from which to seek assistance.For many seniors,the Center helps to overcome feelings of isolation and loneliness.During fiscal year 1991,we served 637 different persons com- ing into the Center. A random sample of a few of the COA's services and programs provided during the period of time from July 1,1991,to June 30,1991: 175 SHINE Consortium 600 73 Outreach/Client Finding 55 Case Management 11 Referrals to Home Care 28 Referrals from Home Care 15 Caregivers/PEER 25 Transportation 266 Congregate Meals 70 General Information 3594 People Contacted SHINE, Unduplicated Seniors from Cohasset Unduplicated/165 Duplicated Unduplicated/14 Duplicated Unduplicated/Same Unduplicated/21 Duplicated Unduplicated/125 Duplicated Support Unduplicated/3 ,326 RIDES (one way) Unduplicated/1450 Meals Served Duplicated/300 Unduplicated Monthly. Request for certain services increased,such as a referrals from South Shore Elder Services,(due to their closing of intake they turned to Council on Aging to handle their people)Job Placement,Shine calls,and Home Making Services.These requests also increased due to poor economic times. Volunteer Services: Once again in 1991 the Council on Aging was most fortunate to receive $100,440.72 in volunteer services from a total of 220 volunteers'giving and sharing of their time and energy.This includes volunteer instructors,drivers,mailing the newsletter,SHINE volun- teers,income tax preparation,nutrition program,gourmet,men's Breakfast Club,office helpers,Town Hall volunteers,etc.The Council could never exist without the many dedi- cated volunteers who spend countless hours helping others so that they can have the same opportunities. Future Directions: The Council on Aging has concentrated on better coordination of services with other community agencies,as well as continuing to strive to provide quality services to Cohas- set's older residents.Our Council has been invited to reach even further and become involved with "Project Share"along with the Social Services league.The S.S.League in August asked the Council to assume responsibility of the Services for Seniors Work Reg- istry Program started a few years ago.This program offers more opportunity for seniors to choose the type of services that they can afford. We also took forward to the expansion and modernization of the Community Center and increased space for the Council on Aging. In closing,we would like to remember the great works and commitment of Ray Remick and Alice Daunt,both of whom epitomized the word volunteerism.

New England Steel Tank of Quincy fabricated the steel work and Herb Jason and his brother Ken made the copper smoke ball chimney.Herb Jason volunteered his time over the winter to fabricate the copper roof.Many people have been involved in the project. We want to especially thank the many people who have generously contributed monies. We have had a number of four digit contributions.We have also sold "T"shirts,sweat shirts,tote bags,license plates and Minots Light prints to raise the needed money.The above items are still available and for sale.To date the donations have amounted to about $100,000,which include contributions of materials,labor,fabrication and money.The thirty-foot addition to Government Island has generated a good deal of interest from many people of the Town as well as visitors to the area.This year we hope to put the windows in,the upper railing and the steel entrance door. Our annual school project was headed by Judy Fitzsimmons and David Wadsworth. It was a slide lecture given at the Deer Hill School involving early transportation in Cohasset.It was an interesting combination of auto,rail,water and other overland means of travel. Our continual ongoing projects of recording,researching and identifying older houses and landmarks in Cohasset is making impressive accomplishments.We would 177 like to submit more candidates to the National Registry for consideration.The primary purpose of the Cohasset Historical Commission is to help preserve the character and fla- vor of the town.We welcome concerned citizens to our meetings and encourage public participation.Our regular meetings are held on the second Monday of the month at the Town Hall.We are most interested in new projects dealing with identification and preser- vation of Cohasset's history. Respectfully submitted,Noel A.Ripley,Chairman David H.Wadsworth Barbara L.Dillon Judith E.Fitzsimmons Nancy C.Snowdale Hamilton T.Tewksbury Wigmore A.Pierson Cohasset Housing Authority After ten months of planning and construction,the home for people with special needs was occupied on May 8 and dedication ceremonies took place shortly afterwards The home consists of two ranch houses which are connected and which serve eight clients.Human Service Options,Inc.of Quincy,Mass.staffs the units and supervises the clients. The Trettis house is still under consideration for use as a home for four special needs clients and the Authority is waiting for approval from the Executive office of Communi- ties and Development so they can proceed with this project. Renovation work continues at Harborview through the state Modernization Bureau Gutters,downspouts and attic ventilation work was completed,as well as the installation of thermostatically controlled kitchen heaters. The Authority,working through Eastern Utilities,installed new lighting fixtures throughout the complex as well as installing insulation and energy saving devices within the buildings.This program was done at no cost to the Authority and is proposed to save approximately 18,000 kwh per year. In the midst of negotiations for a site for family housing,the Authority was informed! by E.O.C.D.that family housing throughout the state was being suspended until further notice.Capital spending at the state level has been severely restricted and was the ratio- nale behind the suspension.Regrettably,because of these state budget constraints,the position of administrative assistant was eliminated. Participation in the federal Section Eight program continues;however,no certificates | have been received in the past three years. The Authority wishes to thank the Highway Department,Fire Department,Social Service League,Visiting Nurses,Council on Aging,Homemakers,and all agencies that contribute to the health and well being of the residents of Harborview.

Attended by individuals from Cohasset and surrounding towns,the seminar focused on issues of substance use in the senior community,providing care givers additional insights into this problem.In May,the committee had a table at the Social Service League's Health Fair,distributing literature on a range of substance use concerns to the attendees. Following the lead of MADD,the committee worked with the Selectmen to implement "Tag-A-Keg"in Cohasset,a program currently being mandated state-wide.We are very pleased that Cohasset was part of the vanguard of this program.We also took the lead in replicating Belmont's Drug Free Weekend in Cohasset.Now scheduled for the last week- end in January,"Winterfest"has been planned and implemented by representatives from seventeen community organizations.Additionally,our committee opened a dialogue with the schools,having two meetings with administrative personnel.This dialogue will be an important part of a coordinated substance awareness program.Finally,our successful "Safe Homes"program expanded again in 1991,adding approximately 20%more fami- lies to our list of participants.While the program still has a way to go,we are encouraged by its current success.Members of our committee also met with people in Carver,Ply- mouth,Norwell and Duxbury to assist them in planning their own "Safe Homes"pro- grams.All in all,1991 was an active and successful year for the Drug and Alcohol Com- mittee.We are particularly pleased that these activities were all funded through private contributions,a measure of the need for this committee in Cohasset.

Appreciation is expressed to past members David Chittim and Murray Campbell for their dedication to the Commission during their tenure. 179 The Handicapped Commission would like to express thanks to the Sandy Beach Association for building a walkway so that disabled and elderly residents can enjoy the beach.Also,thanks should go to the Stop&Shop for making a specialized cart available to people who need assistance.

On the State level,many changes have occurred at the Massachusetts Housing Part- nership.There are opportunities to continue to try to meet the state's substantial unmet needs for housing for low and moderate income families despite decreasing state rent and operating subsidies.The soft real estate market has meant lower prices and more stock in the affordable price range,and also,lower construction costs for new housing.The MHP priorities are: •to utilize existing housing stock; •to invest in urban neighborhoods and town centers; •to provide "one-stop shopping"for developers; •to encourage private investment in affordable housing. The Massachusetts Housing Partnership is providing support for local housing initia- tives with information,technical assistance,pre-development loans,and permanent financing for rental and home ownership. The Housing Partnership would welcome the interest and help of any resident who would like to develop affordable housing in the Town to meet our needs.

The Friends of the Cohasset Library,under the leadership of Patience G.Towle, have again made an enormous difference in the quality of Cohasset's Library.More than 50 persons volunteered more than 2100 hours for the library,helping at the loan desk,in the office,shelving books,and visiting nursing homes.Had taxpayers paid for this volun- teered time,the Library budget would have been almost 10%greater;had these services not been provided voluntarily,the Library would have been forced to cut open hours and reduce book purchases.In addition to providing volunteers,the Friends also raise money through their annual membership drive,with about 16%of Cohasset's households mak- ing tax -deductible contributions.The Friends also raised almost $1,000 through its annual book sale.With these funds,the Friends supported the Library's book budget with $4,500,the children's summer reading incentive program with $250,and provided family passes to the Museum of Fine Arts,the Children's Museum,the Museum of Science,and the New England Aquarium.These passes may be reserved by Cohasset residents by call- ing the library. The annual budget of $234,076 for the Library,voted by Town Meeting,represents less than 2%of Cohasset's operating budget,but permitted the Library to continue with- out cutting the number of hours it is open to the public,and to continue to qualify for State Aid Grants by maintaining the book budget at 19%of the Library's total operating budget.This State Aid Grant,$4,500 from the Friends,and income from the Library's endowment funds,added almost $22,000 to the tax support received from the Town. Combine this with the value of volunteer time and one must conclude that Cohasset tax- payers are receiving good value from their investment in their local library. The staff of the Paul Pratt Memorial Library continues to be one of its chief assets. Under Richard E.Hayes'able leadership,they offer to library users friendly and effec- tive service,and to volunteers helpful guidance. The Old Colony Library Network (OCLN)is the computerized network of 21 libraries to which Cohasset belongs.Terminals in the Library give the user easy access to the collections of all member libraries.The staff can use the electronic mail features of the system to ask for books from other libraries which are delivered daily to Cohasset.It is expected that circulation of library materials in Cohasset will be handled electronically before 1992 is over. Cohasset readers use their Library!In FY91,82,600 items were borrowed,which averages to be 291 loans per day and 32 per hour.For every household in Cohasset,32 items were borrowed during the year.Of these loans,2,200 were to school classrooms and over 100 were delivered to nursing home residents.Over 700 of these were obtained from 33 other libraries by Library staff.In addition to taking books out of the Library, Cohasset residents use its resources.The staff help users in some way at a rate of 17 such transactions per hour. The Trustees,elected for three-year terms,meet monthly.In addition,they may con- 181 sider special issues in small groups,such as investment of the endowment,need for main- tenance and repair,liaison with the Friends,and so forth,and report back to a Trustee meeting.We are responsible to Cohasset residents for the management and operation of the Library,and would welcome questions,comments or ideas at any time. Respectfully submitted, Sheila S.Evans,Chairman Trustees of the Paul Pratt Memorial Library Recreation Commission It is with distinct pleasure that we take this opportunity to inform the citizens of Cohasset of the activities of their Recreation Commission. During Fiscal Year 1991,8,631 individuals of all ages participated in a wide spec- trum of Commission programs,activities,and events.At this juncture,most services are provided via self-supporting financial systems,explicitly designed to relieve the taxpayer of all burden.The few services that remain under operation from budget appropriated rev- enues reimburse taxpayers for the use of those revenues. In Fiscal Year 1991,we deposited into the General Fund of the Town towards recapi- talization $62,811.15,our total budget appropriation that year being $64,451.40.Further, another $77,230.99 was produced from financially self-supporting mechanisms of opera- tion and support.Therefore,our budget appropriation of $64,451.40 produced $140,041.24 more,equating to services to residents,including budget revenue,over $205,000.00.Not calculated in these revenue-only figures are thousands of man hours volunteered by hundreds of residents each year in support of a variety of program opera- tions. Municipal recreation is for all residents and we continue to direct our effort towards assurance of equal access to leisure opportunity to all residents of our community.To this end,approximately $8,000 of fee charges were not collected this year from residents who were temporarily unable to pay.In many cases,time was volunteered in lieu of fee pay- ments that families were unable to make.While this figure is especially high this year,it does,unfortunately,mirror our economic conditions. The burden placed upon public recreation during economic times such as these makes our encumbent responsibilities more difficult to satisfy,yet acutely demonstrates the need for government bodies to remain flexible and responsive to dynamic community needs.No child or youth should be restricted or eliminated from participation in any municipal recreation service because of any financial circumstance that might prevail. The concept of this occurring is contrary to the principles and philosophies of public recreation. Programming represents only one aspect of the overall functions,duties,and respon- sibilities conferred upon the Recreation Commission by both Massachusetts General Laws and By-Laws of the Town.This year particularly,priority focus was directed towards upgrading outdoor recreation facilities that fall under Recreation Commission jurisdiction.Without available budget revenue,these projects were undertaken in a more creative fashion via a blending of private revenues,interdepartmental coordination,and cooperation of efforts and aid from local organizations and individuals. Work at the Beechwood and Osgood Schools installing lighting for outdoor basket- ball courts began and continues.Through the accrued interest in the Beechwood Improve- ment Association Fund,expenditures were made for purchase of basketball standards, boards and goals for the Beechwood facility,and further encumbrances from the BIA 182 fund will be dedicated towards upgrading the playground apparatus at Beechwood Field. The Cohasset Basketball Boosters'Club purchased basketball standards,boards and goals for the Osgood School Court,and under the auspices of the Highway Department,the Beechwood equipment was erected and Osgood basketball court resurfaced free of charge to the Recreation Commission. Many of our outdoor facilities demand more frequent intervention and attention. Work was completed again this year at Elm's Meadow.A lighted skating area and tennis courts at Milliken Field were installed through the cooperative and coordinated efforts of the Tree and Park,Highway,Wire and Water Departments. While the need for municipal recreation services to become financially self- supporting has never before been greater,the demand for public recreation,equally acces- sible and available to all residents,has never before been so evident.This fact became acutely apparent this year and was reflected throughout the entire range and scope of ser- vices,inclusive of both children's and adult services. Government,as we know,is for the people,by the people,and it is within this con- text that public recreation can best serve residents.The seven-member,elected board of Recreation Commissioners meet at least once monthly in order to discuss a wide spec- trum of topics relative to the leisure needs and pursuits of residents of all ages,and to establish policy 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.Municipal recreation must remain responsive to dynamic commu- nity needs in order to best serve residents.To this end,we consider your input and feed- back as absolutely essential and vital to our success. The Recreation Commission wishes to acknowledge gratitude to the many individu- als,and civic,business,sport and school organizations,Town boards,committees and departments who have supported and assisted us in our effort to best serve the recre- ational and leisure needs of residents of all ages.While too numerous to mention each by name,none are forgotten,and all are greatly appreciated and sincerely thanked. Respectfully submitted, Richard P.Barrow,Chairman Stephen C.Endris,Vice-Chairman Terry E.Duggan,Secretary Shelanne S.Durkin Mary K.Muncey Donald E.Staszko Thomas W.Wigmore John M.Worley,Director Social Service League The Social Service League,under contract with the Board of Health,offers Pub- lic Health Nursing Services to Town residents.The services include monthly Keep Well Clinics,health promotion and education programs,and communicable disease report follow-up.The League office at 16 Highland Avenue is open for blood pres- sure checks,diabetic screening,tuberculin testing,and general health consultations. The office hours are Monday,Wednesday,and Friday from 8:30 a.m.to 9:30 a.m.and 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. Regular Keep Well Clinics were held at the monthly meetings of the 60 Plus Club,at senior citizen housing at 60 Elm Street,and at the Senior Center luncheons at the Parish House.These clinics are open to all Town residents. 183 Additional activities this year included our annual Health Fair in May,two Flu Clin- ics in October,a cholesterol screening,a mammography screening in September and tuberculin testing done at Bergson's restaurant in December. The League and the Board of Health sponsored educational programs during the year which included a nutrition program by the American Heart Association,the "Taking Con- trol"program by the American Cancer Society,and an update on AIDS program with a panel of guest speakers.We also had Dr.Kahlil Sharifzadez from the Mass.Department of Public Health,Food Safety Division,address the Senior Luncheon in November regarding food poisoning and safe food practices. The Social Service League continues to work cooperatively with the Board of Health, the Council on Aging and the Cohasset Schools to improve health awareness and promote optimum health among all in our community.Our nursing committee meets regularly and offers support and ideas for new programs which help meet the diverse health needs of our residents reflected in our yearly statistics. We wish to thank all our volunteers for their loyal service and assistance to the League.

Despite the continuing financial limitations imposed on Massachusetts school systems, we feel that you can be proud of the educational opportunities made available to our stu- dents.These opportunities are available as the result of the extraordinary efforts of par- ents and staff who,working together,have,in part,offset the reduction in State and Local funds to our school system.We are also thankful to the community in general for their support of local education as evidenced by their approval of a series of educational over- rides during the past years. The ability to maintain the high quality of education in our community was due in large part to the fact that none of the major bargaining units in the school system have received a salary increase for the present year.Had there been an increase comparable to that received in the past,we would have faced severe reductions in our teaching staff.We can only hope that in the coming years education is considered a higher priority by our state leaders. In order to deal with this continuing educational crisis in Massachusetts,a joint leg- islative committee has recently proposed "The Educational Excellence and Accountabil- ity Act."This sweeping reform proposal acknowledges that the future of our economy depends largely on the quality of the education received by our students. The proposal requires that: 1 . demanding measurable standards for student achievement be established 2.the highest quality teachers be employed in our schools 3.more autonomy be available at the individual school level 4.all involved in the educational process be held accountable 5.innovation and choice be rewarded in schools,and that 6.state financing of education be increased while at the same time becoming more equitable. We look forward to this additional emphasis on education at the state level.While these state initiatives are laudable we must continue to be active at the local level.The School Committee continues to annually establish a series of goals for the school system. For this year their goals are: School Facilities Complete maintenance survey of the Junior/Senior High School. Oversee response to previously conducted surveys at Osgood,Deer Hill and Junior/Senior High School. Revise transportation plan for district. Revise Five-year capital budget plan. Professional Development Review and respond to proposed new evaluation instrument. Prepare to implement instrument in the 1992-1993 school year pending acceptance by School Committee and Teacher Association. Continue to monitor the evaluation process by having the Superintendent review all objectives set by staff members as well as each final evaluation report. 185 Curriculum Conduct review of secondary mathematics curriculum. Monitor the implementation of the new mathematics curriculum at the elemen- tary level. Initiate study of grouping practices at both the elementary and secondary levels. Evaluate the effectiveness of the In-service program. Review the athletic policy for 7th grade students. Develop academic intervention strategies. Administrative Organization Review the department chairman structure at the Junior/Senior High School. Community Support Continue to explore opportunities for increased public awareness of school programs. Alternative Financial Resources Identify non traditional sources of financial support. These goals represent an ambitious undertaking for all school staff.As the year pro- gresses,the School Committee will receive periodic reports on the progress being made on achieving these goals. This year marked the retirement of six senior members of the school staff.Together these teachers have devoted approximately 140 years to the community and to our stu- dents.We would like to express our sincere appreciation for their many years of service. We encourage all citizens of our community to become actively involved in our school system.It is only with your active participation that we can ensure that our chil- dren receive the highest quality of educational opportunities.

During economic up and down turns,political cycles and an ever changing social climate, South Shore has been a stable asset to area business and industry as well as to the com- munities it serves.Every year Vo-Tech provides dozens of services for our member towns through our diversified technical programs,their skilled students,and dedicated instructional staff members.It may have been by printing local school and municipal let- terhead,hosting an area civic group,providing culinary arts services to special town pro- jects,helping to construct a playground or municipal addition,making repairs to a town facility or automotive fleet,assisting Councils on Aging,or the local Boy and Girl Scouts. South Shore remains involved and committed to serving the community,while providing the best and most well rounded vocational technical education possible. Historically,we judge that approximately 30%of our graduates have gone on to assume leadership and/or ownership positions in businesses and industry in our area.This year,for the first time,we have engaged in an important and successful Educa- tion/Industry Partnership with Procter &Gamble Company in Quincy.Other inroads to mutually beneficial relationships with business and industry are being sought. The academic and technical education provided at South Shore continues to be responsive and current.Programs such as Principles of Technology,Honors level course work,"Tech Prep"articulation curricula with area colleges leading to advanced standing for our graduates,and attempts to appropriately integrated technical and academic instruction help to provide a meaningful bridge to that world of work and lifelong learn- ing.As in the past,approximately 80%of last year's graduates have moved directly into the work force,the majority into career areas for which they have been trained.On aver- age,typically 15%have gone on to college and 3%into the military. Currently there are 383 students enrolled at the school.Ninety,or 23.5%are female and 293,or 76.5%are male.Last June one student from your community graduated from South Shore.This graduate was Jay Rattenbury. As of October 1,1991,one student from your town is enrolled in several of the pre- sent fourteen 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 qual- ity programs it is within our power to provide to you and to your children,and to con- tinue to add value to the entire South Shore Community.
