The Cohasset Community Center,Inc.inaugurates a First Night Celebration on the Town Common. 20 BOARD OF SELECTMEN This year can truly be cermed the Year of Volunieerism in Cohasset.Major projects spearheaded by local citizens on Town property went into high gear in 1992.Most notable of these are the leasing and reconstruction of the Government Island Duplex by the Cohasset Lightkeepers Corporation,the gift of the Bates Building to South Shore Habitat for Humanity,Inc.as affordable housing,con- struction of a Veterans'Memorial by a coaUtion of local organizations,and the addition to the Community Center which will result,among other things,in upgraded facilities for use of the Council on Aging. These activities involved contributions of time,services,and money by hundreds of persons,both inside and outside of Cohasset,on projects which will have community-wide benefits.The Board wishes to gratefully acknowledge this work on behalf of aU Cohasset's residents and Town government. The Board also extends its thanks to the Cohasset PoHce Association which raised money from residents and businesses to purchase new state of the art weapons for the Police Department. The Board gratefully acknowledges the contributions of Joseph M.Kealey for his twenty-seven years of service to the Town,during ten of which he served as Police Chief. This year was also characterized as one in which the Town's public safety services have been a subject of much concern and effort.Fire Chief John Nadeau brought new ideas and energy to revitalize and refocus the Fire Department with a goal of "fast,clean,friendly,professional service at an exceptional value."A recruitment campaign for call firefighters exceeded expectations,and it is grati- fying that due to the efforts of the Fire Chief and the interest of Townspeople the call force has been increased from fourteen to twenty-four,which greatly enhances the Town's capabiHty of fighting a major fire. The Fire Department has revamped its ambulance biQing system,and the Board is pleased that collections have improved dramatically,while rates have been maintained below what other area communities charge. A Public Safety Committee authorized by Town Meeting is studying various aspects of Town departments.The committee is expected to make its recom- mendations at the 1993 Annual Town Meeting. An effort to study regionalized area fire departments got under way in earnest,and has been supported by a $30,000 state grant to Cohasset and the Towns of Hingham,Hull,Norwell and Scituate. ONGOING AGENDA ITEMS As we enter 1993 we look forward to the completion of repairs to storm damaged areas of Atlantic Avenue and Jerusalem Road. 21 Plans are already being developed to implement 9-1-1 and to improve radio communications. As usual,finances will remain a focus of attention and concern.Residents have a right to quality services and we will strive to provide,and where possible, improve them.However,your Town officials must continually wrestle with demands for higher service levels versus the wilHngness or ability of residents to pay for those services. Finally,the Board would like to recognize the capable work provided by Town employees,especially pubHc safety and pubUc works personnel.Their outstanding efforts keep Cohasset a safe and desirable place to live,in spite of occurrences such as the December 12 storm,and other day to day problems that receive far less notoriety.Also,the Norfolk County Engineering Department deserves special thanks for providing teclinical assistance on many of the Town's construction projects.Our thanks go,too,to all Town officials,boards,com- mittees and department heads for their co-operation in this past year.

Summary This proposed law would establish a Health Protection Fund to pay for health programs relating to tobacco use,including distribution of information about to- bacco use,to be financed by a new excise tax on cigarettes and smokeless tobacco. The Health Protection Fund would be used,subject to appropriation by the state Legislature,to suppelment existing funding for the following purposes:school health education programs including information about the hazards of tobacco use,smoking prevention and smoking cessation programs in the workplace and community:tobacco-related public service advertising;drug education programs; support of prenatal and maternal care at community health centers which provide programs on smoking cessation and information on the harmful effects of smoking;and monitoring by the State Department of Public Health of illness and death associated with tobacco. The proposed law would establish a new excise tax of one and one-quarter cents per cigarette (twenty-five cents per pack of 20)and twenty-five percent of the wholesale price of smokeless tobacco.This excise would be in addition to the excise already imposed on cigarettes and smokeless tobacco.The new excise would be collected by the State Department of Revenue under the same pro- cedures that apply to the existint tobacco excise. The proposed law would direct the State Comptroller to report annually on the revenues and expenditures of the Health Protection Fund.The proposed law states that if any of its provisions were found invaHd,the other provisions would remain in effect.The proposed law would go into effect on January 1,1993.

SUMMARY This proposed law would require certain banks,insurance companies and publicly-traded corporations to file annual reports with the Massachusetts Secre- tary of State listing information from their state tax returns,including profit, income,corporate income tax due,deductions,exemptions and credits.These reports would be made public.This provision would apply only to those banks, insurance companies and pubHcly-traded corporations required by federal and other Massachusetts laws to disclose information concerning their federal tax payments. The proposed law would also require the annual release by state officials of a detailed analysis of certain tax expenditures enacted or changed after January 1,1988.State law defines a tax expenditure as an exemption,exclusion,deduc- tion,or credit that results in less corporate,sales,or income tax revenue for the state.This analysis would be required only for tax expenditures with an annual revenue impact of $1,000,000 or more.The analysis would include information on the actual revenue loss,as well as the number and proportion of taxpayers or taxpaying entities benefiting from the tax expenditure,according to income, profit,receipts or sales.

SUMMARY SUMMARY This proposed law would require all packaging used in Massachusetts on or after July 1,1996 to be reduced in size,reusable,or made of materials that have been or could be recycled.The proposed law would provide for exemptions for health,safety,and other reasons and would estabhsh penalties for violations. Packaging would have to be either reduced in size by at least 25%every five years;or designed to be reusable at least five times,with at least 50%rate;or composed of 25%or more of recycled materials (increasing to 35%on July 1, 1999 and 50%on July 1 ,2002);or composed of materials being recycled at an annual rate of 25%(increasing to 35%in 1999 and 507o in 2002).The require- ments would apply to any packaging or containers used to protect,store,handle, transport,display,or sell products III These requirements would not be applicable to tamper resistant or tamper- evident seals;packaging for medication or medical devices;packaging merely being shipped through the state;packaging required by federal or state health or safety laws or regulations;or flexible film packaging necessary to prevent food from spoiling. The State Department of Environmental Protection could also grant ex- emptions for packaging that represents an innovative approach for which addition- al time is needed to meet the requirements of the law;or packaging made of material that cannot be reused or recycled,and cannot be made of recycled mater- ial,but is being composted at a significant rate;or products for which there is no complying packaging and for which compliance with the law could impose undue hardship (other than increased cost)on Massachusetts residents.A person applying for an exemption would pay a fee to be used,subject to legislative ap- propriation,to pay the cost of administering the proposed law. ' The Department would be required to issue regulations to carry out the pro- posed law and would be required to investigate suspected violations.After issuing a warning,the Department could assess administrative penalties of up to $100 for each offense and up to $10,000 for any single shipment or single continuing act of non-compliance.The State Attorney General could also file court actions for civil penalties of up to $500 for each offense and up to $25,000 for any single shipment or continuing act of non-compHance,and could seek a court order re- quiring compliance.Each noncomplying piece of packaging would be considered a separate offense or act of non-comphance. The proposed law states that if any of its provisions were declared invalid,the other provisions would remain in effect.

SUMMARY This proposed law would impose an excise tax on oil,toxic chemicals,and other hazardous substances,and would direct that the money raised,along with the fees paid by hazardous waste transporters and specific revenues under other state laws,be deposited in the State Environmental Challenge Fund.Money in the Fund would be used,subject to legislative appropriation,to assess and clean up sites that have been or may be contaminated by oil or hazardous materials, and to carry out and enforce the excise. 112 As of July 1,1993,the excise would apply to persons,businesses,and other entities possessing 50,000 pounds or more of oil and toxic chemicals covered by the proposed law.Toxic chemicals would be covered if classified as toxic by the federal Environmental Protection Administration (EPA)under federal law.As of July 1 ,1994,substances listed as hazardous by the EPA under federal law would also become subject to the excise. Until June 30,1995,the excise would be two-tenths of one cent ($0,002)per pound.In later years,the state Commissioner of Revenue would set the excise rate at a level,not to exceed two-tenths of one cent per pound,sufficient to yield $35 million annually in 1995 dollars. The excise would not apply to gasoHne or other special engine fuelds,jet fuel taxed under other state law,numbers 1 or 2 fuel oil,kerosene,animal or vegetable oil,or waste oil classified as hazardous waste under other state law.Nor would the excise apply to oils,toxic chemicals,or hazardous substances merely being shipped through Massachusetts,or contained in a consumer product intend- ed for retail sale;or present in a mixture at a concentration of less than one per- cent;or present in hazardous waste being transported by a licensed hazardous waste transporter who had paid or will pay a transporter fee under state law; or for which the excise tax has already been paid under the proposed law and which have not been reprocessed or recycled since payment of the excise. The excise also would not apply to oils,toxic chemicals,or hazardous sus- stances that are possessed by individuals for personal,non-business purposes;or are contained in vehicles or vessels intended to be used for normal purposes;or are produced in Massachusetts as a by-product of pollution control equipment or the clean-up of hazardous materials and are handled in compliance with federal and state envirormiental laws.Finally,the excise would not apply to toxic chemicals or hazardous substances in a manufactured product the use of which requires a specific shape or design and which does not release toxic substances under normal use. Under the proposed law,the excise would ordinarily be collected from the first person or business within Massachusetts to come into possession of materials subject to the tax.If that person or business had not paid the excise,a later possessor could be required to pay the excise and could then recover a corres- ponding amount from the first possessor.The proposed law would provide credits for excised paid on materials that become ingredients in the manufacture of other materials subject to the tax,and it would provide credits for similar excises or taxes paid to other states.

Additional permanent public records are placed in the vault upon the request of the offices or boards generating the records,and are organized and shelved by provenance.Thus,additional permanent records are added each year from the offices served by the vault.Although shelf and storage space remains adequate for the present,it is possible to envision a time in the future when present vaults will be unable to hold additional material,and expansion of the Town's public records vault facility will be necessary.Proper storage of the Town's permanent public records is required under Chapter 66 of the General Laws of Massachusetts (the 'Tublic Records Law")and Cohasset should plan to continue its present conformity with that law. Respectfully submitted, David H.Wadsworth Town Archivist BYLAW COMMITTEE The Bylaw Committee has reviewed those articles proposed for each Town Meeting which involve changes in or additions to the Town Bylaws to assure that they are in conformity with existent Bylaws in style and proper placement in the text.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. Considerable time has also been spent in assuring accuracy in the Bylaws as their text hast been transferred from the software of one computer system to that of another. 123 Respectfully submitted, Mary E.Gainor,Chairman W.Roger Nast Louis F.Eaton,Jr. Richard A.Henderson,Town Counsel (ex officio) Marion L.Douglas,Town Clerk (ex officio) INSURANCE COMMITTEE 1992 continued the overall trends which have been in place for the past several years.Health insurance costs continue to escalate in excess of 15%per year while the Property/Casualty portion of the program continues to drop.We as a Town have made progress in analyzing our exposure to loss and reducing that as much as possible.This,coupled with less expensive insurance and greater options, puts the Town in a more secure position.While insurance is only part of the equa- tion,it is becoming more economical.We as a Town are also helping ourselves by being concerned with loss and doing much to prevent that with appropriate actions. The health side of our oversight continues to be in the hands of someone other than ourselves.Bay State Health provides the employee health plan.It was rescued by Blue Cross-Blue Shield due to the most attractive feature of it to the Town and employees,its low cost.Clearly,we learned why it was so inexpensive. As a result of prior year underfunding the Town experienced a 16%rate increase in July of 1992 and can expect a further increase of between 20-30%in July of 1993.To date we have not been able to find an alternative acceptable to most Town employees. The Town of Cohasset Employee Coalition Bargaining Group continues to meet and explore possibilities.A recent lack of interest by some participants may make progress impossible.They are content to let things exist as they are,but wiU surely yell and scream when rates dramatically increase.Only a dedicated effort to effect long-term change at the expense of short-term benefits/costs can allow the Town to control its own destiny.We will continue to push this along in hopes that progress can be made. This year we assisted in putting together a bid process for the Town's pro- perty casualty program.This yielded excellent results with a superior bid from Richardson Insurance with Great American Insurance Company.Costs were re- duced by over 15%and the breadth of the program improved.We also expect that a solid working relationship has been forged with our agent which will re- sult in ease of administration.As is our practice,we plan on continuing with the existing broker for the next three years,barring major difficulties or failures. The Committee is always available to discuss any points of interest with interested parties.

Respectfully submitted, Margaret Charles,Chairman Marion Douglas,Clerk Judith Volungis Dorothea Parmenter COMMITTEE TO SURVEY THE STRUCTURE AND FUNCTIONS OF TOWN GOVERNMENT The purpose of this Committee is to survey the structure and function of Cohasset town govenrment,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. At the 1992 Annual Town Meeting two Committee sponsored articles were adopted.One established a Committee to investigate the organization of pubHc safety services in the Town.The other established a committee to investigate school regionalization.The Committee remains concerned that Department of Revenue data continues to project an increased gap between town revenues and expenditures,and will continue to explore both regionalization possibilities and structural changes which promote economies without reducing services to a level unacceptable to the Town. In the course of the year the Chairman and Secretary were reelected,and Jack Bryant was elected Vice Chairman.

The 1992 Annual Town meeting accepted Ch.59,Sec.5,C1.17D of the Mass. General Laws which allows greater accessibility to the surviving spouse/elderly/ minor exemption by exempting the value of the appHcant's domicile.A provision in the law to issue quarterly tax bills was adopted at Town Meeting and was im- plemented begiiming with fiscal 1993 real and personal property tax bills. Finally,the Assessors bade farewell to long time Assessor Tom Duggan and welcomed newly elected board member Ross Rosano.We wish Tom well in his future endeavors and many thanks for the years of service on the board. The Assessors present the following value inform.ation for all taxable property in Cohasset : Type of Property Total Assessed Value Residential $713,877,900. Commercial $61,118,500. Industrial $5,215,700. Personal Property $,9,472,300. The fiscal year 1993 tax rate was $13.46.

submitted, Robert M.Egan Building Inspector/Zoning Officer CONSERVATION COMMISSION The Conservation Commission continues to be one of the busiest of the Town's agencies,and the Commissioners have collectively put in thousands of hours in the past year.The Commission's mandate is to uphold the State Wet- lands Protection Act and the Cohasset Wetlands By-Law. Throughout the year we continued working with the damage sustained from the Halloween Storm '91.We worked cooperatively with homeowners to enable repairs to be made quickly,as weather and seasons permitted.In addition,there have been some difficult and complicated appUcations presented to the board. We have been dihgent in interpreting the regulations to ensure the maximum pro- tection of our wetlands and other natural resources.At the same time we have been sensitive to the concerns of the property owner. It was a year of change for the Commission.We have three new members who are working to become familiar with the extensive regulations which govern our activities.Two members of the board left last spring.Merle Brown was elected to the Board of Selectmen and Patricia Buckley retired after fifteen years as a Commissioner.We miss their extraordinary service and commitment. Respectfully submitted. 174 Veneta P.Roebuck,Chairman John Kent Bryant,Vice Chairman Jeffrey C.Waal Thomas J.Callahan Brian Murphy Roseanne McMorris Lynn Morgenstern DESIGN REVIEW BOARD The Cohasset Design Review Board had an active year.At the request of the Cohasset Planning Board we reviewed and commented on four different projects. 1 . Target Industries Inc.:Proposed building improvement. 2.Town of Cohasset :Potential public works garage sites. 3.Exxon Company:Canopy and site improvements. 4.Cohasset Historical Memorial:Proposed structures. Respectfully submitted, Gordon S.Hislop,Chairman Robert A.Stansell,Jr.(Associate) Eileen M.Corbett Nancy S.Garrison Maxwell R.Pounder Kathleen R.Fox Robert C.Hunter (Associate) Robert M.Egan (ex officio) BOARD OF HEALTH In 1992 Thomas C.Cook,P.E.was elected to the Board fllUng the vacancy created by the resignation of Sharon L.Becker.Michael H.SuUivan resigned and Robert V.Davenport was appointed to fill that vacancy until the next elec- tion.On re-organization the Board elected William E.Baird,P.E.,Chairman and Thomas C.Cook,P.E.,Clerk.Joseph R.Godzik,VMD continued as Health Agent and Carol Oteri-Puffer as Administrative Secretary. Water testing at the schools revealed that at certain fixtures the maximum contaminant level (MCL)for lead was exceeded on some occasions.After several rounds of testing and various investigations it was not possible to determine the exact source of the lead.Bubblers which had lead levels exceeding the MCL were shut down.A replacement program for certain elements of the distribution system is now under way. The repair of the septic system at Gushing Plaza has not yet taken place.A proposal to build a small wastewater treatment plant for sewage disposal has caused a requirement for an Environmental Impact Report to be rendered by the applicant.The issues are presently being addressed by the appUcant's engineer. The Board continued its review of the proposed expansion for Cohasset Heights Ltd.Landfill (CHL).A Supplemental Draft Environmental Impact Report 175 submitted by CHL was again not accepted by the Secretary of Environmental Affairs.Many public health and environmental questions were raised by the report and still are not resolved.The Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) issued a permit to construct the gas collection system and flare to bum gases without a timetable for construction. A recirculating sand filter sewage disposal system,the first to be approved in Massachusetts,will be installed at 481 Jerusalem Road.The Board worked closely with the design engineer and the DEP to assure a proper design and relevant effluent standards for discharge to the ocean.Some areas in the Town cannot sup- port standard septic systems,so there may be more alternative systems in the future for repair of existing failed septic systems. The Board continues to operate the Recycling Transfer Facility (RTF). Rubbish is shipped to SEMASS for incineration under an interim contract.Re- cycling continues to save money through cost avoidance,as well as providing environmental protection.Because of the Town's recycling initiatives,it is well beyond the DEP recycling requirements.Closure of the landfill is now advanc- ing as the state has allowed the Town to move forward without review of every minor step in the closure progression.Permit fees were reduced to $55.00 in 1993 in keeping with the policy of funding about fifty percent of the cost of tipping fees and transportation. Presently the Board is working to attain three sources for septage disposal to include Upper Blackstone,the main disposal site,and the Hull Wastewater Treat- ment Plan which accepts a small amount.Soon a site in Carver will be permitted. It is hoped that multiple sources will provide alternatives and competition for septage haulers. In anticipation of more stringent state requirements regarding cesspools and septic systems the Board appointed a Cesspool Study Committee to provide future guidance for the Board regarding how the Town should respond to these new requirements.The following are members of the Committee:J.Anson Whealler,Edward J.Connolly,Mark Bell,Kearin A.Dunn,Robert J.Moody, Thomas McMahon and William E.Baird. For the first time in half a century a real threat of rabies is present in Mass- chusetts.Already about thirty raccoons have tested positive for the rabies viruses in 1992.Because of this threat legislation was passed which requires that cats, as well as dogs,six months of age or older be vaccinated against rabies.The effective date of this law is February 24,1993. The Revolving Account receipts and expenditures for septage disposal at Upper Blackstone Pollution Abatement District in 1992 were: Receipts $100,511.08 Expenditures $105,006.03. Respectfully submitted, William E.Baird,P.E.,Chairman Thomas C.Cook,P.E.,Clerk Robert V.Davenport 176 METROPOLITAN AREA PLANNING COUNCIL MAPC submitted a variety of Municipal Incentive Grant applications to EOCD for the communities we serve.Cohasset is one of the communities that will benefit from the Municipal Incentive Grant award to South Shore com- munities to develop and iihplement a program for sharing equalized equipment. The study wiU develop inventories of existing public works equipment,explore sharing agreements,and develop implementation strategies for participating communities.It is an outgrowth of MAPC's year-long joint services efforts de- signed to educate and inform member communities on new and cost effective ways of doing business. MetroPlan 2000 1992 activities included the Council's formal adoption of the housing,land resources,and transportation elements of the plan;development of a Capital Investment Program (CIP)to examine priorities for public infra- structure investments in the region;and initiation of the Concentrated Develop- ment Center (CDC)nomination process. MAPC also began an Overall Economic Development Program (OEDP)in 1992 that is expected to result in substantial new investments to the region from the Economic Development Administration as well as other federal and state sources. In 1992,MAPC provided staff support to the South Shore CoaUtion (SSC) as well as the South Shore Regional Refuse Disposal Planning Board.MAPC staff coordinated SSC review and comment on the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP),transportation projects,and Developments of Regional Impacts (DRI);coordinated and co-sponsored a forum on the MWRA outfall pipe and coordinated meetings with state legislators.MAPC staff also helped the South Shore Regional Refuse Disposal Planning Board implement their 1992 Regional SoUd Waste Management Plan recommendations and the regional soUd waste management district feasibility study.A workshop co-sponsored with the Ameri- can Planning Association on developing master plans was also conducted. Last year's Data Center services to communities included development and distribution of Community Employment Forecasts used in long range highway, transit,water,and sewer planning;sponsorship of the Boston Area Census User's Conference featuring workshops on census data applications,reviews of major demographic patterns,and information on how to use new 1990 census informa- tion;development of the community profiles,a two-page summary of the first release of the 1990 census information;and analysis of the Fiscal 1993 State Budget to help inform communities of the differences between the governor's, senate and house program appropriations. Last year's transportation planning efforts included,development and distri- bution of the regional Transportation Improvement Program (TIP)for the Fiscal Years 1993-1995.The document was distributed to all member communities and to ensure local input into the process,MAPC sponsored two information sessions on the TIP in July and again in December.Because the Intermodal Surface Trans- portation Efficiency Act of 1991 requires a reclassification of roadways,in 1992 MAPC also provided member communities with maps of proposed functional classifications.All communities were offered an opportunity to comment. 177 MAPC's technical assistance on the new National Affordable Housing Act included preparation of local Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategies (CHAS),the HOME program,and consortia formation.On behalf of its com- munities,MAPC also participated in EOCD's Housing Policy Commission;sup- ported the Housing Bond Bill;and sought a state CHAS consistent with Metro Plan 2000 and beneficial to MAPC communities. Respectfully submitted, Martha K.Gjesteby MAPC Representative MOSQUITO CONTROL COMMITTEE The primary functions of the Mosquito Control Committee in 1992 were educating the citizens of Cohasset concerning mosquito control and surveying potential mosquito-breeding areas.The former mission involved a series of infor- mational handouts,including a "take-home"questionnaire distributed by the P.S.O.,items in the local press,a brief presentation before the Town Meeting in June,and posters at various locations in Town.The survey involving potential breeding areas was primarily in response to requests for help from individual homeowners.Each such request was followed by an "on-site"survey and dis- cussion with the homeowner.This information was then submitted to the Ply- mouth County Mosquito Control Project (Dr.Kenneth Ludlam,Superintendent) for any follow-up activity. Our committee has also attempted to deal with current and possible future mosquito-control efforts by cooperating with our neighboring communities in Hull,Scituate,Hingham,Marshfield,etc.Two informal meetings were held at the Town Halls of Hull and Scituate with representatives from Towns within the Plymouth District.The impetus for establishing such a coalition was a meeting held in Dover on May 1 1th,at which a similar coalition of towns in the Norfolk County Mosquito Control Project was described.Since mosquitoes do not recog- nize town boundaries,cooperative efforts may produce more effective mosquito control. Linda Keller and Burk F.Ketcham have replaced James L.Gallagher and Dr.Mark L.Friedman,who resigned because of pressures of professional respon- sibilities. Respectfully submitted, Charles Gainor,Chairman Joan Prescott Busk,Secretary Ahx P.White Linda T.Keller Frank Burk Ketcham,Jr. 178 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 follow- ing responsibilities in 1992: Reviewed for initial consideration or final approval three Site Plans for the Highway Business,Light Industry and Downtown Business Districts; Continued monitoring of approved Cluster Developments,Subdivisions,and Site Plans under construction. Respectfully submitted, Alfred S.Moore,Jr.,Chairman WiUiam J.Good,Vice Chairman Jean H.Simonds,Clerk John F.O'Toole Robert H.Sturdy PLYMOUTH COUNTY MOSQUITO CONTROL PROJECT The Commissioners of the Plymouth County Mosquito Control Project are pleased to submit the following report of our activities during 1992: The Project is a special district created by the State Legislature in 1957,and Town of Cohasset in Norfolk County.On April 1st,the Town of Hanover re- joined 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. In 1992,the Project was again challenged by the threat of the mosquito trans- mitted disease.Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE).Spring and early summer were drier than normal.Residential complaints were received later,with isolated mos- quito problems in our coastal communities.Efforts were again aimed at larval mosquitoes starting with the spring brood,and aerial larviciding continued using B.T.I.,an environmentally selective bacterial agent.Upon emergence of the spring brood of adult mosquitoes,ultra-low-volume adulticiding began.The Project re- sponded to requests concerning mosquitoes,and all sprayers and trucks performed well with little time lost to breakdowns. EE Virus was first isolated from Culiseta melanura,a bird biting species,by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health from collections in Carver the week of August 23rd.Of the season's total often EEE isolates,six were from Ply- mouth County:Carver (8/23 and 9/28),Kingston (9/21 and 9/28),Brockton and Halifax (9/28).In September,a human case of EE was confimed in a 59-year- old man from Braintree who had been fishing in the Carver/Plymouth area during the last week of August.The recurring problem of EEE in Southeastern Massa- chusetts continues to ensure cooperation between this Project and the Massa- chusetts Department of Public Health. 179 The figures specific to the Town of Cohasset are given below.While mos- quitoes 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 com- fort of Cohasset residents. Insecticide Application:2,184 acres were treated using truck mounted sprayers for contol of adult mosquitoes.More than one apphcation was made to the same site is 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 85 inspections were made to 76 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 complaints answered. Water Management:During 1992,crews removed blockages,brush and other obstructions from 2,735 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. Machine Reclamation:515 linear feet of ditch was reconstructed in Cohasset using one of the Project's two track driven backhoes. Mosquito Survey:A systematic sampling of mosquitoes in Cohasset indi- cates that Coquillittidia per turbans was the most abundant species.Other impor- tant species collected inclu&QA Aedes vexans and Aedes abserratus. We encourage citizens or municipal officials to call our office for information about mosquitoes,mosquito-borne diseases,control practices,or any other natters of concern.

RECYCLING COMMITTEE The Recycling Committeeman report a successful yet busy year.Tight mar- kets for recycled goods have made delivery difficult as few vendors are interested in our products.We have been able to provide "cleaner"recycled products mainly through cooperation from residents.This means we need to separate more dili- gently to maintain a satisfactory product free from other materials. 180 A monitor has been hired on a part-time basis to help citizens in recycling. The Cohasset Boy Scouts have helped underwrite this cost. The latest addition to recycling has been magazines and "junk"mail.The state awarded the Town a four compartment bin that has proved very useful. A second bin has been awarded to Cohasset and we are currently planning a means of collecting office "white and computer"paper in same. A grant for the construction of a metal screen to encourage people to sift compost for home use was received and the unit is now in place. The Recycling Committee is continuing to find ways to better recycle and thus save money for the Town as well as to help the environment. We feel we have had a successful year thanks to the cooperation of Cohasset residents and Recycling Transfer Facility employees. Respectfully submitted, Arthur L.Lehr,Jr.,Chairman Merle S.Brown John F.Hubbard 181 PUBLIC SAFETY ANIMAL CONTROL DEPARTMENT As a result of all the publicity about the rabies outbreak in Massachusetts, ^he Animal Control Department had a very busy spring,summer,and fall with regard to wildlife complaints and calls. The latest count puts the number of rabies positive cases in Massachusetts at 30.Of the 30 animals that were confirmed rabid by the State lab,28 were raccoons,1 was a skunk,and the last was a domestic cat.Most of the rabid animals were found in towns surrounding Fitchburg.One rabid raccoon was found in the Town o f Belmont . Although Cohasset has not had a confirmed case of rabies yet,residents should be very careful when dealing with a strange animal,and should not entice wUdhfe to their property with feeding.If you notice a wild or domestic animal acting strange,disoriented,overly friendly,or vicious,you should contact my office or the Police Department immediately. Residents should also be reminded that all cats and dogs,whether indoor or outdoor pets,should be vaccinated against rabies. Respectfully submitted, William P.Quigley Animal Control Officer EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT During the past year our "emergencies"were limited and short-lived.We experienced one windstorm with high tides in December,but with pre-planning by all departments and prompt response by Eastern Edison Company,along with the American Red Cross,the Town was well prepared for any eventuaUty. The National Guard promptly suppUed large vehicles in the event we had to evacuate any areas. An evacuation center was estabUshed at Scituate High School,but proved urmecessary. The Town can be proud of its employees,as well as volunteers,for their devotion to duty despite trying moments. Respectfully submitted, Arthur L.Lehr,Jr. Director 182 xlREDEPAKEVffiNT MRE SUPPRESSION 1992 can be characterized as a year of rebuilding and reaffirmation of the Cohasset Fire Department as a combination,career/call fire protection deUvery system.At year's beginning,the call division was at an all time low state of readiness,membership at 13,protective clothing,equipment and training mar- ginal.At the direction of your Board of Selectmen,an aggressive recruiting campaign was undertaken,and resources were provided to expand the call force. At year's end,the call division was increased to 24 members,entry level recruit training was initiated,and all persoimel were outfitted with safety clothing and equipment. During 1992,programs initiated included armual hose testing,a fireground identification system,and monthly staff meetings.Departmental Standard Op- erating Procedures were reviewed and updated,and the Forestry truck,long out of service,was repaired,painted,and placed back into operations by career firefighters. Fire loss for the year was minimal,our largest loss fire the result of arson. Quick response and aggressive tactics by on-duty career persoimel were the pri- mary reasons,and numerous fires were extinguished in their early stages,keep- ing loss to a minimum. EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES During 1992,Advanced Life Support Services were introduced to Cohasset residents.Selectman Diana Kornet was instrumental in securing a contract with South Shore Hospital for paramedic services,supplementing our basic Hfe support ambulance program. The department added military anti-shock trousers to our equipment in- ventory,specified and awarded a bid to replace our 1985 ambulance,and re- affirmed the department's abiUty to collect ambulance fees.Collections for the past six months have exceeded collections for any entire year in Cohasset history, showing a 500%increase over last year. FIRE PREVENTION The majority of the department's resources are invested in suppression and emergency medical services.While much needs to be done in the area of fire pre- vention,the department did experience marginal gains (a 37%increase)in the areas of residential and commercial inspections.In addition,pubUc fire education activities and programs reached over 700 residents. ADMINISTRATION AND THE FUTURE During 1992 the community initiated a study of public safety and continued to participate in a study of regional fire protection service deUvery.Labor con- tract negotiations were entering their third year without agreement,and signi- ficant attention has been focused on the per capita cost of service delivery in Cohasset.These factors have and continue to generate an air of uncertainty within the organization,and are challenging to both departmental and com- munity leaders. The challenge for 1993 will be to build and reach consensus within the 183 community on fire protection and emergency medical delivery services.Defining the community's desire for services and acceptable response times,at a cost that everyone is willing to pay,will be a difficult process.The good news is that it has already begun,and it promises continuing operational efficiency and effec- tiveness.

Again this year the Harbor was very fortunate to sustain little damage during the December storm.Credit for this can be attributed to the assistance of Dave Marks,Cliff Dickson,and the fishermen of Cohasset in helping to secure floats, check mooring lines,and in keeping a watch on the Harbor throughout the storm.Thanks also go to Harold Litchfield of the Highway Department and Peter Laugelle of the Tree and Park Department for providing equipment to repair ramps,and for the removal of old boat cradles floating free from Bassings Beach. Their assistance is greatly appreciated. With the help and knowledge of Bob Baggs,the floor joists to the storage shed were replaced and one side repaired to deter the threat of a cave-ir* Respectfully submitted, Irving E.Gadow,Jr. Harbor Master 184 POLICE DEPARTMENT Uniform Crime Report 1992 Statistics Offense Reported Rape 2 Robbery 1 Assaults 22 Breaking and Entering 27 B&E or Larceny from M/V 30 Larceny 87 Larceny of M/V 10 Vandalism/Malicious Destruction of Property 124 Motor Vehicle Accidents Investigated 97 Traffic Citations Issued 1259 Residential &Business Alarms Answered 667 Stolen motor vehicles recovered 6 Official complains received 3796 Department vehicles-patrol mileage 173879 Special Details 503 Bicycle registered 36 RECORD OF ARRESTS 1992 Offense Male Female Abuse Petitions 1 Assault &Battery 2 Assault with Intent/Murder 2 Affray 4 Breaking &Enter/NT 4 1 CHINS 3 Disorderly Conduct 1 Domestic Violence 4 1 Larceny/Attempt 2 Larceny of M/V .4 Minor Poss/Transporting Alcohol 4 Motor Vehicle Violations 6 Operating Under Influence Alcohol 14 4 Possession Altered License 2 1 Protective Custody 41 1 Rape 1 Trespassing 3 Violation Drug Laws 3 1 Violation Town By-Law 1 Warrant Arrests 17 4 FEES RETURNED TO GENERAL FUND ^^^^^"^^^^ ^ ^^ Court fines &assessments $1 3 ,445 .00 Parking Violations $16 ,501 .00 Paid Detail Surcharge $5,879.00 License Fees $1,088.00 Requests for Police Reports 594.50 Restitution 300.00 „^„Respectfully submitted, Joseph M.Kealey,Chief 185 WIRE DEPARTMENT I herewith submit the Annual Report of the Wire Department for the year ending December 31,1 992 : FIRE AND TRAFFIC SIGNALS Two thousand feet of new alarm wire was installed for replacement of dam- aged wire and pole changeovers.Three new alarm boxes were installed on com- mercial buildings and tied into the Alarm System.Repairing of alarm movements was done within the department.Boxes were tested and timed for proper opera- tion and painting was started.Traffic lights were refitted with new timers and flashing units. WIRE INSPECTIONS All electrical work performed by contractors working in Town was inspected by the Wire Department and fees collected were turned in to the Town Treasurer. ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION AND REPAIRS TO TOWN BUILDINGS All electrical work to Town owned buildings and properties was performed by the Wire Department. I wish to thank the Board of Selectmen for its cooperation with the depart- ment and the men who worked with me this past year. Respectfully submitted, Stephen J.Wigmore Superintendent of Wires 186 PUBLIC WORKS CEMETERY STUDY COMMITTEE We report no progress in 1992 on identifying an alternative site to the Pleasant Lane location. Respectfully submitted, Glenn A.Pratt,Chairman Peter G.Laugelle (ex officio) Mary A.Hartwell Jane M.Hamilton Nancy C.Snowdale Gerard L.Deveney GOVERNMENT ISLAND STUDY COMMITTEE This committee consists of seven individuals (volunteers),interested in maintaining this historic piece of Cohasset's land area (7.37 acres).Our respon- sibility is to make suggestions regarding maintenance and improvements of the Island to the Board of Selectmen.The Board will authorize expenditures if it feels they are advisable.These are,in some cases,brought before Town Meeting to be approved by the voters. During 1992 we held four meeting to discuss: 1 . General conditions of the Island. 2.Election of Officers and welcoming a new member. 3 . Status of the Minots light project. 4.Discussion of the Lighthouse Keeper's Duplex. 5 . Other new business. The Committee is pleased to welcome its new member,James R.Bonetti. We also wish to thank outgoing member Vivian H.McCormack for her service on the Committee. The Lighthouse Keeper's house,now undergoing major renovations,is a very important piece of property,not only to the history of lighthouses in the United States and worldwide,but also to the history of Cohasset.We hope that when it is completed it will stiU remind those Townspeople and visitors of the life of the Keepers from the mid 1800s to the mid 1900s. This Committee firmly believes that the Island (formerly known as Doanes Island,now Government Island)is one of Cohasset's greatest assets,historically, commercially and recreationally.We want it to be walked,studied,looked at, appreciated and loved by the Townspeople and visitors alike. Respectfully submitted, Hamilton T.Tewksbury,Chairman Richard P.Barrow James R.Bonetti Robert M.Davenport Noel A.Ripley Irving E.Gadow,Jr.,Harbor Master 187 HARBOR COMMITTEE The Harbor Committee held a pubHc hearing in regards to the Harbor Master Plan that was drawn up in 1980.The purpose of the meeting was to review that plan and then update it.Some of the original recommendations had been followed through,but for various reasons many had not. A harbor cleanup day was held 6/13/92.The harbor area from the Yacht Club to Government Island was cleaned with the help of volunteers and the Tree and Park Department. The planned dredging that was to be completed in the latter part of the year has been postponed due to the storms,and will be completed in early 1993. The by-law was revised allowing a grace period of 15 days for failure to re- affirm for the mooring Ust,or paying the mooring fee on time.This revision will allow a person to stay on the mooring list,or keep the mooring;however,a fine will have to be paid.The amount is to be set by the Board of Selectmen, At the request of the Selectmen the Committee is attempting to locate a firm that can tow and store boats that are illegally moored in the harbor.The Committee has located two firms,and will conclude this issue prior to the 1993 boating season. Respectfully submitted, John Pfaffmann,Chairman John F.Bertolami,Vice-Chairmar Peter J.Wood,Secretary Shelanne S.Durkin Domenic M.Baccari Lorren S.Gibbons 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. We were also still cleaning up after the "No Name"storm during the month of January. With any break in the weather,my Department worked on the repair and/or replacement of catch basins and connecting pipes.In all,two basins were rebuilt and one raised.Forty feet of pipe was installed. During the spring months we were able to remove the asphalt at the Deer Hill School to make room for the additional playing fields.We then removed the Jungle Gym from the Joseph Osgood School,replaced the fence along Border Street and put down 38 tons of base in the Sandy Beach parking area. 188 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 following 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 1992.With money entirely from State Grants we resurfaced Border,HiU,Ash,Spring Streets, and Gushing Road.The Department also resurfaced various sidewalks around Town.Using 560 tons of asphalt,various roads were grader patched. During the summer months we sealed the Fire Station ramp and then re- moved a gas tank at the High School.We then built the new intersection at King and Beechwood Streets.Along with the Tree and Park Department we planted six arborvitae at the Town Hall and two spruce trees on Hull Street. The Highway Department also installed a new drainage system on Linden Drive. During the fall we began working on the walkway between the Town Parking Lot and the center of Town.This project was time consuming,but certainly worthwhile for its beauty. Finally,the Blizzard of '92 kept us busy cleaning sand and stone from road- ways and other areas. I would like to extend special thanks to my men and to the men from the Tree and Park,Wire,and Water Departments. Respectfully submitted, Harold W.Litchfield Highway Surveyor PUBLIC WORKS GARAGE STUDY COMMITTEE The Public Works Garage Study Committee was formed to study the require- ments of and potential sites for a centraUzed pubUc works faciUty.Specific tasks to be accomplished include the following: Review the data and conclusions of the Town Garage Study Committee; Review the data and conclusions of the PubUc Works Study Committee; Determine the space needs for equipment and persormel of the various public works functions and operations,including school department and refueling depot; Survey the Town for potential sites ;and Review zoning,wetlands and locational issues of each site . During 1992 the Committee has reviewed the final reports prepared by the Town Garage Study Committee and the Public Works Study Committee.To deter- mine the space needs and other requirements for a centralized faciUty,we have met with representatives of the Highway Department,the Tree and Park Depart- 189 ment,and the School Department.In addition,Committee members have visited the current facilities used by the Highway Department and Tree and Park Depart- ment. With regard to potential sites,the initial focus of the Committee was to evaluate the facihty formerly occupied by Winter Gardens,since this property was available for purchase.Based on this evaluation,the Committee determined that the use of this faciHty for a centralized pubHc works facility did not make sense from an economic standpoint. In addition to the former Winter Gardens facility,several potential sites on land owned by the Town of Cohasset have been identified based on a review of the report prepared by the Town Garage Study Committee and maps provided by the Town Assessors'Office.Specifically,the following four sites are under con- sideration: Assessors Plan 18.Location of the Highway Department Garage behind the Red lion Inn.This includes 45,785 square feet,plus a portion of the municipal parking lot (Plans 27 and 18).These plots back up to the old railroad right of way. Assessors Plan 42.'School Department'land between Sohier Street to Smith Place and westerly to Route 3A (approximately 70 acres). Assessors Plan 15.The gravel pit land opposite the westerly end of Red Gate Lane and backing up to the Little League Field (part of 8.85 acres). Assessors Plan 5.The transfer station on Cedar Street (part of 19.13 acres). As a first step in assessing the suitability of these sites,other Town Com- mittees and Boards have been asked for any comments or concerns that they may have regarding these four sites. During 1993 the Committee will focus on the following activities: Documentation of the space needs and other specialized requirements for a centralized public works facility; Identification and,to the extent possible,quantification of the benefits associated with a centrahzed facility;and Documentation of the advantages and disadvantages of potential sites. We anticipate that a final report will be prepared early in 1993.

Respectfully submitted, Barbara A.Kern Thomas L.O'Brien AhxP.White SEWER COMMISSION The Town's Waste Water Treatment Plant C*WWTP")continued its excellent record in 1992 under the Town's operation and maintenance contract with Pro- fessional Services Group,Inc. The Sewer Commissioners continued their efforts to obtain State approval of the proposed plant expansion and modernization as an acceptable alternative to the far more costly "Hull Plan".To this end,we arranged a visit to the WWTP by Daniel S.Greenbaum,Commissioner of the Department of Environ- mental Protection ("DEP"),and Edward Kunce,Deputy Commissioner of the DEP for Operations.We believe that Messrs.Greenbaum and Kunce were favor- ably impressed with the Cohasset operation and tentatively sympathetic to the Commissioners'proposal for expansion and modernization of the WWTP,parti- cularly since this would be undertaken without State funding.The Commission- ers intend to pursue this alternative vigorously in 1993. Respectfully submitted, Edward M.Guild,Chairman Henry A.Rattenbury R.Gary Vanderweil Sewer Commissioners TREE,PARKAND CEMETERY DEPARTMENT The Tree,Park and Cemetery Department was as busy as usual maintaining the parks,commons and playing fields. The Department had additional work at the Little League Field assisting in the installation of a batting cage and planting shrubs.We repaired and replaced posts,ties and some chain link fencing at Milliken and Beechwood Fields. The Tree Department removed dangerous branches and trimmed out dead wood on roadsides,all three schools,and parks. The Department will be doing drainage work soon at the Beechwood Ball 191 Park to relieve a dangerous situation tliat has occurred in the last three or four years. The Department had additional work with the Northeast and "No Name" storms. We assisted the Highway Department with the James Brook Walkway and in planting trees around the square. The Tree,Park and Cemetery Department would like to thank departments who assisted in cleaning up after the storms and also those who assisted our Department during the year. Respectfully submitted, Peter G.Laugelle,Superintendent WATER DEPARTMENT Total production of the treatment faciUty for the year ending December 31, 1992,was 194,282,200 gallons of drinking water.This is a slight decrease from previous years and is predicated on the unseasonably cold summer months we experienced.An ongoing and aggressive preventative maintenance program for both the treatment facility and distribution system is a major priority.However, due to the advancing age of the facility and associated pumping and purification equipment,some unscheduled emergency repairs should be anticipated in the future.In addition,every effort is being made to reduce or eliminate expenses and still maintain the same level of service to the community and upkeep of our systems. Mr.Franl C.J.Hamilton resigned as Superintendent after many years of service to pursue a teaching career and other endeavors.His knowledge and ex- pertise wiU be missed,but we wish him the best of luck in his chosen career. State and federal mandated requirements continue to change on an almost daily basis to assure compliance with the Safe Drinking Water Act.We can an- ticipate and will meet or surpass the more stringent guidelines being set forth, but this will be at an added expense to the Department. The Department would like to acknowledge the cooperation of other Town departments with special emphasis and thanks to Highway Superintendent Harold Litchfield and his staff. Respectfully submitted, Ronald H.Goodwin WiUiam J.Montuori James R.Sheerin Commissioners 192 HUMAN SERVICES COUNCIL ON AGING The Cohasset Council on Aging (COA)has continued its effort to meet the mandate of Chapter 40,Section 8B of the Massachusetts General Laws..."to coordinate and carry out programs designed to meet the problems of aging in coordination with programs of the Executive Office of Elder Affairs." During 1992,the Senior Center continued to act as the central mechanism for the deUvery of services and activities to Cohasset's Senior citizens'population by offering services and programs that would help them lead more independent and self-reHant lives.Programs concerning legal issues,such as estate planning, probating wills,the newly enacted Health Care Proxy,and various Medigap poU- cies,were among the educational forums held at the Center. In addition,a cataract and cholesterol screening,along with the monthly blood pressure clinics,were all well attended. A review of the past year's record illustrates that 30,571 units of services were provided to 560 individuals coming into the Center,and 250 at home util- ized service that were provided via the aging network and support system. The Outreach program has had one of the largest growth in services.Susan Connolly continues to oversee the program area and has assisted a number of older adults within the community,while supporting and providing an avenue for the provision of services for the spouse,caregivers and/or family members. Outreach is one of the most important facets of our department.The main goal of Outreach has always been to meet the needs of seniors.We will continue to seek out ways to improve our methods in meeting these needs and we will con- tinue trying to achieve this by "reaching out"and offering assistance and/or support to the individual. AccompUshments in 1991-2 include the Council becoming a sponsor of the SHARE program serving 197 different participants.The duplicated units of food totaled 947 from September 1991 -June 1992. The SHINE Program continues to be a very popular program at the Council. This past May,Pat Ryan left the position of Coordinator after three years.The Council is indebted to Pat Ryan for her efforts to keep the Program thriving and to serve more elders with fewer resources.The Program served more than 300 seniors.In addition,counselors recovered a total of $16,083.12 on behalf of their cHents.Pat's replacement,Kathy Glenzel has returned to the position she originally held and we welcome her.In September 1992,Kathy organized a SHINE Training for new volunteers held at St.Anthony's Church.All volunteers will be certified before placement into the surrounding towns. VOLUNTEERS continue to be the backbone of our department.In 1992, we were most fortunate to have received in-kind service that would have cost $190,000.This represents 21,031 hours in volunteer services,including 2,958 hours from the SHARE program.Other examples of dedication and commitment are driving the shuttle,helping with the nutrition program,program instruction, assisting in the office,working at Town Hall,sending out the monthly VISTA, SHINE counseling,and the telephone reassurance program. 193 As we look back on this past year,we feel the Council should be very proud of its accomplishments:making a smooth transition for the Service for Seniors Program from the Social Service League;helping to institute the SHINE program last Fall;working to make the first WINTERFEST a great success;the upgrading of the CO A Director's position.Over the past year,we increased our involvement with the School and Town organizations.This is a great benefit not only to the seniors,but also to the students and families here in Cohasset. The major event this year is the new addition to the Community Center.The Council on Aging has reached a crossroad where some of the programs had to be limited because of space limitations.When we finish this addition,it is hoped most of the programs and classes will again be under one roof. Lastly,our Council,and indeed our community,was saddened to lose David Chittim this past year.His interest and dedication to people in need will be sorely missed. We would like to take this opportunity to express our appreciation to the volunteers who are the mainstay of this operation,and to the "Friends"of the Cohasset Council on Aging for their financial support.We also appreciate the support and dedication of our staff,and the many Town departments that have been very helpful to the Council on Aging.

The Commission also held two special meetings and one pubHc hearing.The new schedule for the regular meetings is the first Monday of March,June,September and December. Three Certificates of Appropriateness were approved by the Commission. The Commission accepted with regret the resignation of Jim Murphy.All vacancies on the Commission have been filled by the Board of Selectmen.

Working through Eastern Utilities,the Authority replaced kitchen Hghting fixtures in sixty-four apartments and replaced thirty-two apartment building hall fixtures with energy saving fluorescent Hghts.Five hot water heaters were installed,which completed the replacement of all water heaters throughout the complex. Participation in the Federal Section Eight program continues,however,no certificates have been received in the past four years. State appointee Frederick Koed's term expired in November and he was re- placed by Richard Silvia.Members of the board and the director expressed to Fred their appreciation of his efforts to expand housing units in town.His expertise in all phases of housing matters was also much appreciated. 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 Harbor- view.

Barbara H.Clain,Exec.Director DRUG AND ALCOHOL COMMITTEE The Drug and Alcohol Committee continued to reach out to the community in an effort to increase awareness of substance use and abuse.The new year began with the initiation of a very successful 'Winterfest",a Drug Free Weekend in Co- hasset.A steering committee,cochaired by Ned Tebbetts and Karen Hettstrom, 195 organized a weekend filled with activities for every segment of the community. Due to its success,another Drug Free Weekend is in the planning stages. In June the committee presented graduates of Cohasset High School with commemorative key chains with the reminder that "Friends do not let friends drive drunk". The committee mailed the "Red Book"resource material to parents of in- coming 7th graders.An extra effort was made to impress upon the parents of 6th graders the importance of "Safe Homes"and the need to provide supervision at teen parties.The number of participating families in "Safe Homes"increased significantly this year,with almost 45%of the eligible famiUes now participating. The committee again traveled to neighboring towns to provide insight and sug- gestions for planning "Safe Homes"programs. The results of a comprehensive survey of drug use at Cohasset High School clearly indicate that we must do more to educate our children about substance abuse.In October the committee voted unanimously to pursue the implementa- tion of the D.A.R.E.program in Cohasset at the 6th grade level.In addition to the comprehensive health education program in effect in Cohasset,the committee believes that the D.A.R.E.program will offer reinforcement at a critical age. This year brought the resignation of several of the original members of the committee,and we thank them for their efforts and their commitment in bring- ing the issues of substance use to the public.

Fund raising continues and we have been steadily selling tee shirts,sweat shirts,license plates and tote bags.Wig Pierson had his own tee shirt campaign and gave a generous contribution to the project.We are going to be selling prints suitable for framing of the iron light's destruction,the interim light- ship,and a print of the present structure.These prints are copies of early pen- and-ink sketches of the 1850-60's. Work continues on the Town-wide survey.We are in the process of sub- mitting Government Island and the Town Common for listing in the National Registry of Historic Places.There is much to be done and there are many quali- fied and deserving structures within the Town that could be nominated.David Wadsworth has laboriously indexed the survey on the computer as it progresses. Our chief reason for existence is to promote and try to protect the historical integrity of the Town of Cohasset.We meet each month on the second Monday in the Town Hall.We welcome visitors and input from interested citizens. Respectfully submitted, Noel A.Ripley,Chairman David H.Wadsworth Barbara L.Dillon Judith E.Fitzsimmons Nancy C.Snowdale Hamilton T.Tewksbury Wigmore A.Pierson PAUL PRATT MEMORIAL LIBRARY The Trustees of the Paul Pratt Memorial Library are proud to report a year of real progress and a good return on the tax dollar at Cohasset's public library. Circulation "on line".Years of planning,spending,and extraordinary effort by the library staff came to fruition on December 29th,when the library's circulation system went "on line". While the marvels of electronics are hardly new phenomena,nonetheless the Old Colony Library Network (OCLN)system's handling of check-out and returns of library materials at the circulation desk seems quite astonishing.And perhaps it should,since this "magic",in fact,has been the result of painstaking re-cata- loguing of all the 50-odd thousand items in the library;for each library item, 198 complete data needed entry into the OCLN database,and a barcode affixed to each object. This monumental task has taken several years to complete.While some tem- porary staff did a considerable amount of the data entry,our own permanent staff was able to maintain cheerful and effective library service during a long transition period,and,at the same time,complete a significant portion of the data entry.Their professionaUsm in these circumstances has been both impres- sive and very much appreciated by the trustees,volunteers,and library users. New library card.Similarly,on the customer end,the new circulation system meant that new hbrary cards were needed which would permit the appUcation of an identifying user-barcode.The trustees suggested and the Friends of the Co- hasset Library,Inc.enthusiastically took up the idea of designing a logo for the hbrary which could be used on a new user card as well as other materials.John Hartshome of Border Street and his daughter Ellen,of Columbus,Ohio,a profes- sional graphic artist,collaborated in using the library's weathervane to design a logo and a library card for the library.Their generous contribution of their time and talent has greatly benefitted the town. Other gifts and free services.In addition to the marvelous Hbrary card,the Friends,under Patience G.Towle's leadership,contributed in other very impor- tant ways to the library.More than fifty volunteers worked at the library during the year,at a value of $30,000 of equivalent paid time.Beyond that help to the budget,the Friends purchased family passes to the Museum of Fine Arts,the Museum of Science,the New England Aquarium,and the Children's Museum. The Friends also gave an outright gift of $4,500 to the library to buy books,as well as paying for the books awarded in the children's summer reading program. The Friends are also helping to "market"the Ubrary with the sale of attractive canvas book bags,and by contributing weekly news to the Cohasset Mariner *s library corner. A bequest of $5,000 from the estate of Ruth H.Barrett,and a $2,000 gift to the Evelyn Wood Book Fund were welcome additions to the Ubrary's endow- ment this year.$11,924 of endowment income was used in support of the library's budget.Cohasset again quahfied for state aid to Ubraries,in the amount of $5,267. Other.A first contract between the Town and the hbrary employees'union was negotiated and approved by Town Meeting.An OCLN computer terminal has been located in the High School library for students'use during the day,with the school budget assuming the library's costs for it.Lastly,repairs to the li- brary's cupola are underway,and new,more efficient lighting wiU soon be pro- vided under an Eastern Edison rebate program. The Paul Pratt Memorial Library is one of Cohasset's treasures,under the very capable management of Richard E.Hayes,Chief Librarian.The trustees take responsibility for its well-being very seriously and would welcome comments or suggestions at any time. Respectfully submitted, Sheila S.Evans,Chairman Trustees of the Paul Pratt Memorial Library 199 RECREATION COMMISSION It gives me great pleasure to report to residents the activities of their Re- creation Commission for Fiscal Year 1992. During the year,6,685 individuals of all ages participated in a variety of structured programs,activities and special events.While budget restrictions persist,more latitude of use of the Revolving Account Fund for 100%Self- Supporting Programs has been possible due to legislative modification of the RAF laws and guidelines.Currently,most programming is conducted via the RAF Accounts,causing no impact upon taxpayers.The Recreation Commissioners adopted an Administrative Service Fee charge to all RAF programs during Fiscal Year 1992,providing a financial system that reimburses taxpayers for the costs and time encumbrances of RAF Program operations.That is,the ASF revenues are deposited into the General Fund of the Town,hence,can be applied to offset tax rated the following Fiscal Year.Collectively,it is the revenue produced via Administrative Service Fee's fees for budget sponsored programs and beach parking sticker sales that reimburses taxpayers for the budget of their Recreation Commission.Only revenue on deposit in the General Fund can be considered re- capitalization revenue. In Fiscal Year 1992,the Recreation Commission produced for the General Fund $60,016.60.Concurrently,during the same period,$73,614.60 was trans- acted via Revolving Account Funds for 100%Self-Supporting Programs via fees charged participants for a variety of services.Another $24,089.00 was transacted via other self-supporting financial systems during F.Y.1992,manifesting a col- lective $157,720.20 of recreational services to residents from the $66,963.00 budget of the Commission.These figures do not include the thousands of man hours that are annually donated by hundreds of residents,in support of a variety of program operations. Municipal recreation is for the benefit of aU residents and we continue to direct our efforts towards assurance of equal access and opportunity for the entire community.To this end,a specific and calculated portion of revenue was not collected this year from residents who were temporarily unable to pay full fee charges for services.In many instances time was volunteered in lieu of full fee payments,benefiting the department and participants of programs. The burden placed upon public recreation during difficult economic times, makes our encumbent responsibilities more difficult to satisfy,yet acutely demon- strates the necessity for governmental bodies to remain flexible and responsive to dynamic community needs.No child or youth should be eliminated from partici- pation in any municipally sponsored leisure service because of any financial cir- cumstance that might prevail,and an investment in our young people is a very apparent and worthwhile investment in our community.The concept of equal opportunity and access for all residents under all conditions epitomizes the general philosophies and principles of pubHc recreation. Programming represents only one of the responsibilities,duties,and func- tions as prescribed and conferred upon the Recreation Commission by both Massachusetts General Laws and By-Laws of the Town..Continuing efforts from 200 F.Y.91 are focused upon upgrading and renovating existing outdoor recreational facilities under the jurisdiction of the Commission.Current projects include repairs and additional apparatus for the Beechwood Field Playground,re-Ughting the MiUiken Field Tennis Courts,and installation of new lights and basketball standards,boards and rims at the Osgood School Basketball Court. During the October 30,1991 storm damage to lights and light poles were sustained at the Osgood Basketball Court by high winds.As a result of insurance claims,new Hghts have been purchased and Eastern Edison has erected a new light pole.The Cohasset Basketball Boosters Club has purchased two sets of bas- ketball standards,boards and goals for that facility.With the new court surface, completed last year via the auspices of the Highway Department,along with future regrading of the grounds adjacent to the court,the Osgood lighted basket- ball facility will soon be in top-notch condition. It has been and continues to be,through a blending of private and public resources and funding,that most facilities have been upgraded and/or renovated. Numerous town departments and officials have continued to support our efforts in this area,for which we remain enormously grateful. The seven member,elected board of Recreation Commissioners,volunteer their services to the town and department,meeting regularly in order to discuss a wide spectrum of topics relative to the leisure needs and pursuits of all residents. Further,the Commissioners estabUsh poUcy,and provide departmental direction, support and assistance.Each meeting is pubUcly posted at least on week prior to date and residents are cordially invited to attend and participate in any meeting. Essential to our proper function,and absolutely vital towards success,is the ability to remain responsive and dynamic to changing community needs.We consider your input and feedback our most important source of guidance. The Recreation Commission wishes to acknowledge gratitude to the many individuals,civic and business organizations,school and sports groups,Town boards,committees,and departments who have lent their support and assistance in our efforts to best serve the recreational and leisure needs of residents of all ages.While too numerous to mention each by name,none are forgotten and aU are sincerely appreciated and thanked.

Additional activities this year included:Annual Health Fair in May,two Mammography screenings,two Flu Clinics in October,participation in a First Aid Class at the Town Recreation Department's summer program at the Osgood School,and speaking to the Junior/Senior class at Cohasset High School on career day. Community education programs offered this year included:"Women's Heart Health"presented by the American Heart Association,a program on Breast Cancer by Dr.Dixie Mills of the Faulkner Breast Clinic,and a program on new immunization guidelines presented by Lisa Berger,epidemiologist from Mass. Dept.of Public Health. The Social Service League continues to cooperate with the Board of Health, the Council on Aging,the Cohasset schools and area physicians to improve health awareness and promote optimum health for all ages in the community.We wish to thank all volunteers and community groups that have assisted us in the past year.

While eagerly awaiting these changes,we have during the past year con- tinued to address educational issues of concern within our community.As a result of a modest increase in staff salaries and a successful override,we were able to not only continue the present level of educational services available to our students,but also to add some much needed resources to our system.The F.Y.93 budget included the new positions of Technology Assistant and Main- tenance Assistant.These two positions will enable the system to both make progress in implementing new educational technologies and also to continue our ongoing program of building maintenance and renovation. The School Committee also continued its practice of establishing armual goals for the system.For the coming year the goals are: School Facilities Revise five year capital budget plan. Implement maintenance plans at the Osgood,Deer Hill and Junior/Senior High School. Review pupil transportation options. Explore expanded community use of school facilities. Professional Development Implement new teacher evaluation procedure. Estabhsh individual school goals. Review In-Service structure. Curriculum Conduct review of K-12 science curriculum. Develop plan to better utilize diagnostic testing program. Monitor new grouping procedures at the Junior/Senior High School. Administrative Organization Review the department chairman structure at the Junior/Senior High School. Community Support Continue to implement programs that increase public awareness of school programs. Alternative Financial Resources Work with Local Education Foundation to identify corporate funding and/or other private sources of financial support for school programs. Explore possible regionalization of educational services. 204 It was with much pride that we received notice from the New England Association of Secondary Schools and Colleges that the Junior/Senior High School had received full accreditation from the Association.The awarding of accredita- tion followed a rigorous two-year self evaluation process by the Junior/Senior High School staff and on site evaluation by a team of educators from throughout Massachusetts.The staff of the Junior/Senior High School certainly can be proud of this achievement and we are certain that they share with us the feeling of gratitude for the continuing support of education by the community. We also note with enthusiasm the formation of the Cohasset Education Foundation.This private initiative developed to provide support for public education program within the community has the following Mission Statement: "The Cohasset Education Foundation is a community wide partnership committed to enriching the quality of public education programs and in- struction.In cooperation with the faculty and administration,the Founda- tion will identify projects beyond the scope of the traditional school budget which improve educational opportunities for all students.The Foundation will develop innovative resources both private and public to accomplish this mission." Support by this group as well as the Parent School Organization,the Arts Booster Club,the Cohasset Drug and Alcohol Committee,sponsors of the armual Drug Free Weekend,and others do much to supplement the activities of the school system and thereby improve the educational opportunities available to our students. Respectfully submitted, COHASSET SCHOOL COMMITTEE Barbara W.Bliss,Chairman Nancy L.Sandell J.Russell Reidy Ralph D.Kidder Kenneth P.Wilcox Stephen E.Hart,Supt.of Schools SOUTH SHORE REGIONAL VOCATIONAL TECHNICAL HIGH SCHOOL As concern over funding sound public education grows,the economy con- tinues to falter and future uncertainties become the norm. South Shore Regional Vocational Technical High School,in its thirtieth year of serving southeastern Massachusetts,maintains a positive and productive rela- tionship with its district town members.During shifting political cycles and an ever changing social climate,South Shore has been a stable asset to area business and industry,as well as to many young people and to the communities it serves.While primarily here for students and their futures,every year Vo-Tech provides dozens of services for our member towns through our diversified tech- nical programs and the skills their students have devleoped with the guidance of dedicated instructional staff members. 205 In recent months alone,repairs to local fire department equipment,re-wiring of municipal facilities,renovation to town offices,and the hosting of nearly one hundred and fifty senior citizens through their Councils on Aging for a Christmas dinner,have highlighted our commitment to involvement and partnership.Area youth groups,the Boy Scouts,athletic programs,and community organizations continue to find welcome assistance from the South Shore Regional School District.South Shore remains involved and committed to serving the community, while providing the best and most well rounded vocational technical education possible to the secondary school students and adults of the area.Through the Continuing Education Program,approximately 500 adult learners in the past year have acquired new skills or enhanced existing ones,helping to fulfill our message to all,that more than ever before,learning needs to be a life-long enter- prise. Under the new,energetic leadership of Superintendent James Hager,who took the South Shore helm on July 1st,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 integrate technical and academic instruction help to provide a meaningful bridge to the world of work and lifelong learning.As in the past,approximately 70%of last year's graduates moved directly into the work force,with the majority into career areas for which they have been trained.On average,typically 15%-20%have gone on to college and 3%into the military. College level involvement,even if months or years after graduation,is on the upswing. Perhaps the defining event for the South Shore Regional School District in the past twelve months has been the delivery of the long awaited approvals and recent ground breaking on its campus consohdation facility construction.It is anticipated that the building project will be completed and the moving in will occur around Christmas of 1993.The addition to the Hanover complex will not only add the much needed physical space,but help to provide an infusion of opportunity for even better outreach to the citizens of Cohasset and their children,as well as those of other district and surrounding communities. 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 second year,we are engaged in an important and suc- cessful Education/Industry Partnership with Procter &Gamble Company in Quincy.Other inroads to mutually beneficial relationships with business and industry are being sought and initiated.Several companies and state agencies have been contacted about possibiHties for technical school to work collaboration. During the current school year.South Shore staff have been actively in- volved in the self study phase of a ten-year New England Association of Secondary Schools and Colleges evaluation.While examining every facet of the educational operation,an important component is the relationship of school and community.Many of our graduates provide valuable advisory feedback to how we 206 can best meet our educational and community missions.A visiting committee of educators from around New England will add invaluable responses as well when they arrive for a scheduled visit in November. Currently there are 421 students enrolled in the school.One hundred seven, or 25.4%,are female,and 314,or 74.6%,are male. 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 you and your children,and to continue to add value to the entire South Shore community. Respectfully submitted. South Shore Regional School District Committee Laurence J.Mitchell Cohasset Representative REGIONAL SCHOOL DISTRICT PLANNING COMMITTEE Our Committee was voted at the April Town Meeting,and convened this fall to assess the feasibility of forming a Regional School District with one or more towns in our area.Hingham and Hull voted at their respective town meetings to form such Committees;only Hingham named its members. We have worked with the Hingham committee to prepare a preliminary finan- cial impact assessment for forming a Hingham-Cohasset Regional School District. Our approach has been to examine the key changes to facilities,personnel costs, operating expenses,and State Aid which would result from a regional approach to schools.We have received input and assistance —for which we are very appre- ciative —from the School Committees and Superintendents of both towns,from various Town agencies,and from staff members of the State Departments of Education and Revenue. At year's end,we are preparing the results of this initial assessment for sub- mission to the Board of Selectmen in early January.A major finding is that the financial impact of a regional system will be primarily determined by State Aid to Education legislation currently under review.Our Committee expects to submit a final recommendation after the legislative picture is resolved.
