DEDICATION 


MERELISE  O'CONNOR 


After  1 8  years  of  service  to  our  community,  we  bid  farewell  to  a  dedicated  public 
servant.  Merelise  "Mel"  O'Connor  began  her  career  in  Plymouth  in  1981  as  Parks 
and  Recreation  Director.  Untold  scores  of  Plymouth's  young  people  benefited  from 
her  enthusiasm  and  able  leadership  of  the  recreation  program. 

Mel  became  Town  Administrator  in  1987  and  for  the  next  11  years  worked  with 
the  elected,  appointed  and  volunteer  boards  of  Plymouth  to  improve  our  community. 
The  measure  of  a  public  servant  is  her  ability  to  remain  true  to  the  greater  public  good 
in  face  of  political  storms  and  competing  interests.  Mel  has  exceeded  that  measure, 
and  her  dedication  to  our  community  is  truly  noteworthy. 

It  is  with  honor  and  appreciation  that  we  dedicate  this  Town  Report  to  Merelise 
O'Connor.

PLYMOUTH  BOARD  OF  SELECTMEN 
1998  ANNUAL  REPORT 


In  last  year's  report,  we  asked  you  to  be  prepared  for  some  inconvenience  when 
work  began  around  the  town  common  during  the  summer.  The  work  and  the  incon- 
venience came  and  lasted  longer  than  expected,  but  the  great  majority  of  citizens  han- 
dled both  with  stoic  good  nature  as  well  as  interest,  and  the  results  have  been  gratify- 
ing and  widely  praised.  Aesthetic  improvements  resulting  from  putting  utilities  under 
ground  and  from  adding  new  stone  and  brickwork  for  curbs  and  walks  and  new  light 
fixtures  were  only  part  of  the  scope  of  the  project,  as  much  needed  upgrading  of  the 
storm  drainage  system  down  Highland,  Court  Street,  and  around  the  common  were 
completed.  We  live  in  the  Granite  State;  so,  I  guess  we  should  have  expected  that 
ledge! 

A  further  project  that  was  completed  in  town  was  the  boat  ramp  on  the  Pemi  next 
to  the  courthouse.  Thanks  go  especially  to  our  State  Representative  Allen  MacNeil 
and  the  New  Hampshire  Fish  and  Game  Department. 

This  summer,  if  approved  at  Town  Meeting,  it  will  be  the  turn  of  those  who  live 
on  or  travel  Thurlow  Street  to  bear  the  inconvenience  of  repairs  as  we  tackle  the  often 
postponed  project  to  rebuild  Thurlow  Street  from  Stonybrook  to  the  top  of  the  hill. 
This  is  part  of  our  long  range  plan  to  restore  and  maintain  our  community's  infra- 
structure. It  requires  funding  the  capital  improvement  plan.  We  hope  this  can  be  done 
while  keeping  the  tax  impact  to  a  minimum  and  without  having  to  borrow  any  money. 

Additionally,  this  summer  will  probably  see  the  construction  of  a  new  Walmart 
super  store  in  Plymouth.  Certainly,  this  is  not  a  project  without  some  controversy,  but 
it  is  one  which  the  Selectmen  support  and  which  we  think  in  the  long  run  will  be  a 
positive  addition  to  our  town  and  a  clear  benefit  to  our  citizens.  A  tip  of  our  hat,  by 
the  way,  to  the  people  of  Rite  Aid,  who  have  just  completed  a  well-designed,  attrac- 
tive new  store  -  a  visual  and  commercial  asset  for  our  town. 

We  are  saying  goodbye  this  year  to  a  dedicated  and  valuable  employee.  Town 
Administrator  Merelise  O'Connor  is  moving  on  to  new  opportunities  and  new  chal- 
lenges in  state  government.  These  will  indeed  be  difficult  shoes  to  fill. 

Again  this  year  we  want  to  thank  all  our  town  employees  for  their  dedicated  ser- 
vice to  the  town.  Whether  it  be  repairing  the  devastation  from  this  past  summer's 
flash  flooding,  dealing  with  the  major  ice  storm,  handling  the  disturbance  on  Russell 
Street,  or  responding  to  calls  for  emergency  service,  their  skill  and  professionalism  is 
greatly  appreciated.  We  also  owe  a  large  debt  of  gratitude  to  the  volunteers  who  spend 
countless  hours  serving  as  members  of  town  boards,  committees  and  commissions. 
What  would  Plymouth,  or  even  the  state,  be  without  these  responsive  citizens? 
Without  a  doubt,  these  are  exciting  times  -  our  town  is  on  the  move,  and  it  is  these 
same  people  we  will  depend  on  to  keep  our  town  the  great  place  it  is  in  which  to  live 
and  to  raise  a  family. 


Respectfully  submitted, 

John  H.  Tucker,  Chairman 
Board  of  Selectmen

INDEPENDENT  AUDITOR'S  REPORT 


To  the  Board 

Town  of  Plymouth,  New  Hampshire 

We  have  audited  the  accompanying  general-purpose  financial  statements  of  the  Town 
of  Plymouth  as  of  and  for  the  year  ended  June  30,1998,  as  listed  in  the  table  of  con- 
tents. These  general-purpose  financial  statements  are  the  responsibility  of  the  Town  of 
Plymouth  management.  Our  responsibility  is  to  express  an  opinion  on  these  general- 
purpose  financial  statements  based  on  our  audit. 

We  conducted  our  audit  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  auditing  standards. 
Those  standards  require  that  we  plan  and  perform  the  audit  to  obtain  reasonable  assur- 
ance about  whether  the  general-purpose  financial  statements  are  free  of  material  mis- 
statement. An  audit  includes  examining,  on  a  test  basis,  evidence  supporting  the 
amounts  and  disclosures  in  the  general-purpose  financial  statements.  An  audit  also 
includes  assessing  the  accounting  principles  used  and  significant  estimates  made  by 
management,  as  well  as  evaluating  the  overall  general-purpose  financial  statement 
presentation.  We  believe  that  our  audit  provides  a  reasonable  basis  for  our  opinion. 

The  general-purpose  financial  statements  referred  to  above  do  not  include  the  General 
Fixed  Assets  Account  Group,  or  Long-term  Debt  Account  Group  Landfill  Closure  and 
Post  Closure  Care  Costs,  all  of  which  should  be  included  to  conform  with  generally 
accepted  accounting  principles.  The  amounts  that  should  be  recorded  in  the  Account 
Groups  are  not  known. 

In  our  opinion,  except  for  the  effect  on  the  general-purpose  financial  statements  of  the 
omissions  described  in  the  preceding  paragraph,  the  general-purpose  financial  state- 
ments referred  to  above  present  fairly,  in  all  material  respects,  the  financial  position 
of  the  Town  of  Plymouth  as  of  June  30,  1998,  and  the  results  of  its  operations  and  cash 
flows  of  its  non-expendable  trust  funds  for  the  year  then  ended  in  conformity  with 
generally  accepted  accounting  principles. 

Our  audit  was  conducted  for  the  purpose  of  forming  an  opinion  on  the  general-pur- 
pose financial  statements  taken  as  a  whole.  The  individual  and  combining  fund  finan- 
cial statements  and  schedules  listed  in  the  table  of  contents  are  presented  for  purpos- 
es of  additional  analysis  and  are  not  a  required  part  of  the  general  purpose  financial 
statements  of  Town  of  Plymouth.  Such  information  has  been  subjected  to  the  auditing 
procedures  applied  in  the  audit  of  the  general-purpose  financial  statements  and,  in  our 
opinion,  is  fairly  presented  in  all  material  respects  in  relation  to  the  general-purpose 
financial  statements  taken  as  a  whole.

PLYMOUTH  POLICE  DEPARTMENT 
1998  ANNUAL  REPORT 


1998  was  a  successful  year  for  the  Plymouth  Police  Department,  but  also  includ- 
ed some  enforcement  challenges.  Some  student  rebellion  in  the  Spring  caused  us  to 
re-examine  our  efforts  and  strengthen  our  policy  and  protocols  in  several  ways.  Our 
resources  have  been  more  efficiently  coordinated  to  further  a  stronger  response  to  dis- 
turbance and  nuisance  calls,  and  this  is  being  done  without  compromise  to  our  com- 
mitment to  provide  fair  enforcement. 

1998  saw  the  assignment  of  Barry  Tanner  to  a  Detective  position.  Barry  has  been 
with  the  department  for  several  years  and  has  embraced  this  new  challenge  with  great 
enthusiasm.  Kevin  Lincoln  was  promoted  to  Dispatch  Supervisor,  and  we  believe  his 
sensitive  approach  to  callers,  visitors,  and  employees  alike  will  promote  a  very  pro- 
fessional reputation. 

Captain  Steve  Temperino  was  selected  to  attend  the  FBI  National  Academy.  This 
training  is  some  of  the  best  offered  to  local  law  enforcement,  and  Steve  was  the  first 
officer  from  Plymouth  to  ever  attend.  He  graduated  in  September  and  we  congratulate 
him  on  this  major  achievement. 

The  police  department  has  a  roster  of  approximately  30  full  and  part-time  posi- 
tions, and  it  is  natural  that  each  year  there  is  some  employee  turnover.  1998  saw  the 
departures  of  Dispatch  Supervisor  George  Faran  and  Secretary  Sharon  Saunders.  New 
full-time  employees  include  Dispatcher  Erin  Gaites  and  Secretary  Pam  Mack.  We 
appreciate  the  many  years  of  service  to  those  who  have  moved  on,  and  we  welcome 
our  new  staff  and  wish  them  all  the  best. 

It  comes  as  no  surprise  that  our  once-young  officers  are  getting  older  and  turning 
into  more  seasoned  veterans.  While  it  can  be  easier  to  recruit  young,  single  people  to 
fill  a  patrol  position  in  a  college  town,  the  real  challenge  is  employee  retention...  espe- 
cially when  employees  get  married  and  start  families.  I  am  hopeful  that  through  bud- 
get talks  and  contract  discussions,  the  Board  of  Selectmen  and  the  local  citizens  will 
support  fair  and  significant  increases  so  we  can  keep  some  of  the  knowledgeable, 
trained  talent  now  on  board,  and  stop  existing  as  a  "short-term"  place  of  employment. 
The  approximate  cost  to  the  Plymouth  taxpayer  to  equip  and  train  a  new  officer  is 
$19,500.  By  investing  in  better  wages  we  strengthen  longevity...  everybody  benefits. 

In  closing  I  must  say  that  it  is  a  pleasure  to  be  Chief  in  a  department  where 
employees  are  both  competent  and  dedicated...  and  it  is  only  fitting  that  I  close  by 
thanking  each  and  every  member  of  the  department  for  all  their  hard  work  and  ser- 
vice. They  are  a  wonderful  group  of  young  professionals  and  you  and  I  are  very  lucky 
to  have  them. 

Sincerely  yours, 


Anthony  W.  Raymond 
Chief  of  Police

THE  PLYMOUTH  FIRE  AND  AMBULANCE  DEPARTMENT 
1998  ANNUAL  REPORT 


1998  is  again  projected  to  be  a  record  setting  year  for  the  Fire  and  Ambulance 
Departments  in  the  Town  of  Plymouth.  Combined  Ambulance  and  Fire  Activity 
increased  4%  over  1997. 

In  July  we  took  delivery  of  a  new  pumper/tanker.  The  apparatus  replaced  our 
1975  Mack  fire  engine.  The  new  apparatus  chassis  was  manufactured  by  Freightliner® 
and  the  body  was  built  by  Smeal  Corporation®  in  Snyder,  Nebraska.  The  new  appa- 
ratus carries  2,500  gallons  of  water,  has  a  pumping  capacity  of  1,500  gallons  per 
minute  and  carries  up  to  five  fire  fighters  in  a  fully  enclosed  cab.  The  change  from  a 
standard  pumper  to  a  pumper/tanker  enhances  the  versatility  of  our  fire  fighting  capa- 
bilities outside  the  hydrant  district.  The  apparatus  cost  just  under  $200,000.00  and  we 
believe  that  we  got  a  lot  of  equipment  for  our  money. 

The  Ice  Storm  of  1998  continues  to  plague  our  community.  Working  through  the 
Governor's  Office  of  Emergency  Management  the  Highway  Department  was  able  to 
acquire  funds  to  clean  up  much  of  the  roadside  damage.  The  damage  back  in  the 
woods  has  been  very  hard  on  the  fire  service.  In  July  a  very  small  fire  on  Tenney 
Mountain,  that  should  have  taken  3  personnel  15  minutes  to  contain  and  extinguish, 
ended  up  taking  25  personnel  two  days  to  mitigate.  The  fire  fighters  had  to  literally 
cut  paths  through  downed  trees  to  get  to  the  fire  and  then  carry  all  of  their  equipment 
and  water  in  on  their  backs.  If  it  wasn't  for  the  storm  damaged  trees,  the  fire  never 
would  have  had  the  fuel  to  burn  so  deep  and  the  personnel  would  have  had  unimped- 
ed access.  The  New  Hampshire  Department  of  Economic  Development,  Forest 
Protection  Bureau,  understands  the  severity  of  this  damage  and  has  acquired  much 
needed  wildland  fire  fighting  equipment  for  communities  should  the  need  arise  again 
in  the  future. 

Major  construction  projects  have  kept  us  busy  again  this  year.  Final  tests  of  fire 
protection  systems  and  safety  inspections  on  the  newly  renovated  Lamson  Library  are 
now  completed  and  an  ongoing  addition  to  Speare  Memorial  Hospital  is  being  close- 
ly monitored.  We  work  very  closely  with  architects,  engineers,  contractors  and  own- 
ers to  assure  that  these  public  buildings  are  safe  for  those  that  visit  or  work  in  them. 

The  facility  housing  our  operation  is  inadequate  and  does  not  afford  us  the  ameni- 
ties to  provide  good  protection  for  the  community.  The  Board  of  Selectmen  are  cur- 
rently working  diligently  with  myself  and  other  agencies  to  develop  a  plan  to  provide 
adequate  facilities  at  a  reasonable  and  affordable  cost. 

The  department's  efforts  to  provide  a  higher  level  of  Emergency  Medical  Service 
to  the  citizens  is  paying  off.  All  of  the  full  time  personnel  and  two  on  call  personnel 
are  trained  to  the  EMT  Intermediate  level  and  we  are  regularly  providing  advanced 
care  to  our  patients  in  need.  As  the  budget  continues  to  provide  the  training  we  will 
continue  to  increase  training  to  other  on  call  personnel  in  the  department. 

Through  hard  work  and  diligent  negotiations  the  Board  of  Selectmen  signed  an 
agreement  in  1997  with  Plymouth  State  College  to  provide  funding  for  fire  services. 
This  funding  will  increase  by  $15,000.00  this  year  to  $108,000.00.  We  will  all  con- 


43 


tinue  to  work  toward  a  funding  mechanism  that  is  equitable  and  fair  for  all. 

I  would  like  to  commend  the  citizens,  businesses  and  government  officials  for  the 
support  given  to  us  over  the  past  years.  It  is  only  with  this  support  that  we  can  pro- 
tect lives  and  property  in  the  Town  of  Plymouth. 

If  anyone  has  any  questions  or  if  we  can  assist  you  in  any  way,  please  contact  us 
at  your  convenience.

PLYMOUTH  HIGHWAY  AND  SOLID  WASTE  DEPARTMENTS 

1998  ANNUAL  REPORT 

The  past  year  has  been  marked  by  numerous  events  in  both  departments.  In 
January,  the  ice  storm  of  '98  caused  extensive  damage  across  the  northeast  which 
Plymouth  did  not  escape.  Much  of  the  higher  elevations  were  impacted  as  trees  and 
power  lines  collapsed  under  the  weight  of  excessive  ice.  Plymouth's  Highway  crew 
was  vigilant  in  keeping  the  roadways  open  for  travel  during  the  second  week  of 
January  and  thus  began  the  long  methodical  clean-up.  In  June,  the  already  saturated 
water  table  was  subject  to  excessive  rainfall  in  a  24  hour  period  resulting  in  the 
destruction  of  six  miles  of  road.  The  long  process  toward  restoration  proved  to  be  a 
major  setback  and  put  a  halt  to  any  planned  improvements  during  1998.  Federal  aid 
for  reconstruction  was  approved  in  August  and  to  date  approximately  85%  of  the 
restoration  has  been  completed. 

Plymouth's  downtown  received  considerable  attention  this  past  year.  Beneath  the 
new  sidewalks,  crosswalks  and  lighting,  drainage  infrastructure  received  much  need- 
ed reconstruction.  Total  cost  for  the  project  was  $1,225  million,  with  a  town  match- 
ing portion  of  $142,000.  Simultaneously,  the  town  and  the  Water  &  Sewer 
Commission  joined  in  a  cooperative  project  in  the  reconstruction  of  Maple  and 
Broadway.  Final  landscaping,  overlay  and  sidewalk  rebuild  will  take  place  during 
1999.  Thurlow,  New  Hebron  and  Bartlett  Roads  are  scheduled  for  improvements  dur- 
ing 1999  as  well. 

The  team  of  Peter  Furmanick  and  Jimmy  Boucher  captured  the  Plow  Rally  State 
Championship  this  past  June.  In  October,  the  team  of  Chris  McCormack  and  Steve 
Taves  captured  first  place  in  the  Lancaster  region. 

While  prices  for  recyclables  have  been  down,  the  volume  of  recyclables  sold, 
along  with  revenue,  have  reached  new  peaks.  At  this  juncture  revenue  is  approxi- 
mately 20%  ahead  of  FY'98,  while  volume  is  up  60%  over  last  year's  pace.  Nobis 
Engineering  has  been  hired  to  design  construction  documents  for  the  landfill  closure. 

This  past  year  both  departments  experienced  marked  turnover  in  personnel.  At 
the  solid  Waste  Department,  Paul  Freitas  was  appointed  to  the  position  of  Foreman; 
Bill  Martin,  Andy  Kimball  and  Robert  Bain  were  newly  appointed  to  operator  posi- 
tions. Members  of  the  department  have  done  a  very  good  job  maintaining  the  conti- 
nuity of  service  during  this  transition.  In  July,  Joseph  Fagnant  was  appointed  to  the 
position  of  Highway  III  and  Steve  Taves  was  hired  to  fill  the  Highway  II  vacancy. 

On  a  sad  note,  this  year  also  marked  the  passing  of  Fred  Bennett,  a  long-time 
employee  of  the  Solid  Waste  Department.  Fred's  unique  character  and  strong  work 
ethic  will  be  sorely  missed. 

Finally,  I  would  like  to  thank  residents  of  the  community  who  have  been  most 
supportive  of  our  efforts  in  both  departments. 

Respectfully, 

Richard  J.  Gonsalves 

Superintendent  of  Highways  and  Solid  Waste  Management

PLYMOUTH  PARKS  AND  RECREATION  DEPARTMENT 
1998  ANNUAL  REPORT 

It  was  another  great  year  of  recreation  opportunities  for  the  residents  of 
Plymouth.  The  Plymouth  Parks  and  Recreation  Department  continues  to  flourish  and 
offer  a  wide  variety  of  programs,  classes,  special  events,  and  bus  trips  for  all  to  par- 
ticipate and  enjoy. 

New  programs  this  year  included:  Toddler  Camp  offered  activities  to  children 
three  years  of  age  giving  them  a  pre-camp  experience.  Without  the  assistance  of  the 
Whole  Village  facility  this  program  would  not  have  been  possible.  The  seven  week 
after  school  adventure  program  was  offered  at  the  Plymouth  Elementary  School  for 
grades  3-5,  Whole  Village  for  grades  1-2,  and  the  Star  King  Unitarian  Fellowship 
Church  for  grades  K  -  2. 

Other  successful  programs  that  we  offered  in  1998  included  Summer  Camp  at 
Fox  Pond  Park.  Our  program  provided  children  with  a  daily  program  of  games, 
sports,  arts  and  crafts,  creative  activities  and  field  trips.  Tied  in  with  our  summer 
camp  program  is  one  of  our  biggest  yearly  events  -  the  Senior  Citizen  Picnic.  This 
popular  event  is  held  at  the  Plymouth  Regional  Senior  Center  and  consists  of  a  lunch 
and  show  performed  by  our  summer  camp  participants  for  seniors,  parents,  and  fam- 
ilies. This  year's  picnic  marked  our  15th  annual  event.  Our  specialty  camps  includ- 
ed gymnastics,  theater,  baseball,  football,  soccer,  and  tennis.  Other  camps  we  would 
like  to  offer  are  field  hockey  and  softball.  Aquatic  activities  included  swim  lessons, 
swim  clinic,  family  open  swim  and  our  swim  team  known  as  the  White  Mountain 
Rapids.  Our  summer  swim  team  is  a  very  successful  program  that  gives  children  the 
opportunity  to  expand  on  their  swimming  skills.  Thanks  to  our  coaches  Kate 
Donahue  and  Barbara  McCahan,  and  all  the  parents  who  work  together  as  a  team  to 
make  this  program  what  it  is.  Our  winter  wrestling  clinic  has  developed  into  a  suc- 
cessful program  thanks  to  Coach  Randy  Cleary  and  members  of  the  PRHS  wrestling 
team.  Instructor  Gary  Strong  continues  to  offer  a  dedicated  Tae  Kwon  Do  program 
on  a  month  to  month  basis  through  the  entire  school  year. 

In  the  spring,  the  Department  received  a  "Field  of  Dreams"  Grant  from  True 
Value  Hardware.  The  materials  supplied  were  a  part  of  the  1998  True  Value  Field  of 
Dreams  Program  which  is  a  cooperative  effort  of  Major  League  Baseball,  True  Value 
and  local  True  Value  dealers.  Steve  Rand,  of  Rand's  True  Value  Hardware,  provided 
us  with  $1500  worth  of  tools,  fertilizer,  and  supplies  for  the  Plymouth  Elementary 
School  Ball  Fields. 

The  Skateboard  Ramp  was  completed  in  early  July.  This  mini  ramp  was  con- 
structed by  Parkitects  of  Waterville  Valley  and  financed  by  P.L.A.Y.  and  Plymouth 
State  College.  Currently,  the  ramp  is  located  in  the  parking  lot  of  the  Facilities 
Building  at  PSC  across  from  D&M  Park.  Our  goal  is  to  eventually  have  this  ramp 
relocated  to  Fox  Pond  Park. 

The  Plymouth  segment  of  the  Heritage  Trail  was  dedicated  on  August  1,  1998. 
Plymouth's  portion  of  the  trail,  a  5.6  mile  long  walking  loop  with  sixteen  points  of 
interest,  was  completed  through  a  coordinated  effort  of  the  Plymouth  Chamber  of 
Commerce,  the  Plymouth  Regional  Senior  Center,  Plymouth  State  College,  the  Town 
of  Plymouth,  and  the  Plymouth  Parks  and  Recreation  Department. 


46 


The  Department  once  again  sponsored  nine  Keniston  Freeman  Summer  Concerts 
on  the  Common.  With  the  assistance  of  Main  Street  Plymouth  Inc.,  food  vendors 
offered  affordable  family  meals  at  each  concert.  These  vendors  included: 
Biederman's  Deli,  Subway,  Plymouth  House  of  Pizza,  Bull  and  Bier  Haus,  Shop  n' 
Save,  Puppy  Love  Hot  Dogs,  and  Jenron's  Pizza.  We  look  forward  to  continuing  and 
building  upon  this  successful  event  in  the  future. 

As  always,  the  Department  owes  a  special  thanks  to  the  Plymouth  Schools  and 
the  School  Administrators  and  staff  who  open  the  school  doors  and  create  an  envi- 
ronment of  cooperation  so  we  can  offer  the  programs  we  do  throughout  the  year. 
Thanks  are  also  extended  to  the  Plymouth  State  College  PE  Center,  Holderness 
School,  and  the  Plymouth  Regional  Senior  Center  for  the  use  of  their  facilities. 
Thanks  also  to  the  hundreds  of  volunteers  who  put  in  endless  hours  to  help  us  run  such 
a  complete  recreation  program.  Thanks  are  also  in  order  to  all  recreation  staff  mem- 
bers full  and  part-time  seasonal.  Full  time  members  include:  Lisa  Fahey-Ash, 
Program  Coordinator;  Jim  Blake,  Park  Foreman;  Jennifer  Dobbs,  Groundskeeper  II; 
and  Brian  Cottrell,  Groundskeeper  I.  Their  positive  attitudes  and  willingness  to  work 
long  hours  in  order  that  others  may  enjoy  their  leisure  time  is  one  of  the  main  reasons 
for  our  success. 

And  finally,  thanks  to  the  Recreation  Commission  and  P.L.A.Y.  members,  Town 
Administrator,  and  Board  of  Selectmen  for  realizing  the  importance  recreation  plays 
in  the  health  of  a  community  and  supporting  our  efforts  to  provide  a  quality  program. 

Respectfully  submitted, 

Larry  J.  Gibson 

Director  of  Parks  and  Recreation

PEASE  PUBLIC  LIBRARY 
TOWN  REPORT  1998 


125  years  ago,  in  1873,  fourteen  young  ladies  living  in  the  town  of  Plymouth 
began  to  organize  a  circulating  library.  They  conducted  many  fundraising  events,  and 
in  1 874  established  their  library  on  Main  Street.  The  library  was  housed  in  a  second 
floor  room  supplied  by  John  Langdon,  and  located  over  his  express  office.  Within 
three  years  the  collection  and  patronage  had  increased  so  rapidly  that  larger  accom- 
modations became  necessary.  In  1876  Col.  Henry  W.  Blair  purchased  the  old  court- 
house, restored  it,  moved  it  to  a  new  location  on  Court  Street,  and  presented  it  to  the 
Young  Ladies  Library  Association.  In  the  succeeding  decades  the  library  continued 
to  grow  and  develop,  and  to  evolve  in  its  management  and  mission. 

Since  1873,  despite  the  many  changes  in  the  library,  two  constants  have 
remained.  The  library  has  been  in  continuous  operation,  and  the  Young  Ladies 
Library  Association  has  maintained  its  support  of  the  library.  This  past  November, 
two  events  were  held  in  celebration  of  the  125  year  history  of  the  library,  and  the 
Young  Ladies  Library  Association. 

The  decade  of  the  1990s  has  seen  the  most  significant  changes  in  the  library  since 
its  founding.  In  1990,  thanks  to  a  bequest  from  Charlotte  Pease,  the  library  was 
moved  to  a  new,  modern  brick  facility  within  a  block  of  both  former  locations.  In 
September  of  1998,  the  installation  of  an  automated  circulation  system  and  card  cat- 
alog were  completed.  This  dramatically  changed  procedures  that  had  been  virtually 
identical  to  those  used  in  1874.  A  computer  cluster  now  offers  patrons  instant  access 
to  information  on  the  library's  holdings,  to  the  internet,  to  word  processing  programs, 
and  to  materials  in  CD-ROM  format.  The  great  challenge  of  the  next  decade  will  be 
to  keep  pace  with  rapidly  developing  technology,  which  is  vastly  changing  the  ways 
libraries  provide  information. 

We  continued  to  offer  a  variety  of  programs  in  1998.  Storytimes  for  three,  four, 
and  five  year  olds  drew  capacity  attendance.  Our  summer  reading  program  involved 
hundreds  of  elementary  school  children  in  both  weekly  programs  and  reading  chal- 
lenges. We  are  grateful  to  Heidi  Mock,  Jan  Ahern,  Jay  Moscowitz,  Jeremy  Sinaikin 
and  MacDonald's  for  their  assistance  with  summer  1998  programming. 

Monthly  adult  book  discussions  were  also  held,  with  Mary  Rotella  leading  two 
series.  Things  Fall  Apart  discussed  five  books  set  in  varying  countries  and  detailing 
political  and  social  disintegration.  Questioning  Technology  was  a  six  part  series,  rais- 
ing questions  regarding  the  benefits  and  liabilities  of  the  technological  age. 
Introduction  to  the  Internet  classes  walked  newcomers  to  this  technology  through  the 
first  steps  in  learning  to  use  the  internet. 

There  are  many  organizations  and  individuals  who  contribute  to  the  success  of 
the  library.  Our  thanks  to:  the  Plymouth  Business  and  Professional  Women's 
Association  for  providing  a  pass  to  the  Christa  McAuliffe  Planetarium  in  Concord;  the 
Fleet  Bank  for  providing  a  pass  to  the  Science  Center  of  New  Hampshire,  and  to  the 
Young  Ladies  Library  Association  for  its  varied  support,  including  the  purchase  of 
materials.  Sight  Services  for  Independent  Living  has  provided  a  closed  circuit  televi- 


48 


sion.  This  device  magnifies  printed  material,  and  projects  the  image  onto  a  television 
screen.  It  is  available  for  use  by  anyone  with  visual  impairment,  regardless  of  place 
of  residence. 

Volunteers  donated  over  1500  hours  in  1998,  an  invaluable  source  of  assistance. 
Special  thanks  to  Jack  Ellard  who  designed  and  built  tables  for  our  computer  cluster, 
in  addition  to  volunteering  many  hours  each  week.  Thanks  also  to  our  other  able  vol- 
unteers: Pat  Andrews,  Cheryl  Beraudo,  Sandra  Gaudet,  Winnie  Hohlt,  Stephanie 
Kirkpatrick,  Rhoda  Mitchell,  Charlotte  Stevens,  and  to  staff  Patricia  Hanscomb, 
Deborah  Perloff,  Sandra  Pickel,  Ann  Pierce,  Susan  Jarosz,  Irene  Blake,  and  Jody 
Randall  who  assisted  with  the  technology  project. 

Respectfully  submitted,

CAPITAL  IMPROVEMENTS  PLAN 
FOR  FY  2000-FY  2005 


New  Hampshire  Statutes  (RSA  674:5-8)  place  responsibility  for  capital  planning 
with  the  town's  Planning  Board,  provided  that  the  Planning  Board  has  adopted  a 
Master  Plan  and  that  the  legislative  body  at  town  meeting  authorizes  the  Planning 
Board  to  proceed.  For  the  Town  of  Plymouth,  a  Master  Plan  was  in  place  by  1987  and 
a  vote  at  the  1987  Town  Meeting  provided  the  Planning  Board  with  the  authorization 
to  develop  a  Capital  Improvements  Program  (CIP). 

The  Planning  Board  established  a  Capital  Planning  Committee  (CPC)  to  for- 
mulate a  CIP  for  their  review  and  final  approval.  The  CPC  first  receives  input  pro- 
vided by  all  of  the  town  departments  and  meets  with  various  department  representa- 
tives. The  CPC  only  considers  those  items  classified  as  a  "capital  project,"  a  term 
which  is  defined  for  CPC  purposes  as  "a  physical  public  betterment  involving  a  facil- 
ity, parcel  of  land,  or  a  major  piece  of  equipment  with  a  value  exceeding  $10,000  and 
occurring  no  more  frequently  than  every  five  years."  In  developing  the  plan,  the  CPC 
prioritizes  projects  based  on  urgency  and  need  for  realization  and  recommends  a  time 
sequence  for  implementation  (RSA  674:6)  with  the  overall  goal  of  eliminating  major 
year-to-year  fluctuations  in  the  capital  budget  by  building  on  the  previous  year's  plan. 
The  resulting  CIP,  once  adopted  by  the  Planning  Board,  is  only  a  recommended  course 
of  action  to  be  used  by  the  Advisory  Budget  Committee  and  the  Board  of  Selectmen. 

The  adopted  FY  2000-FY2005  plan  attempts  to  recover  from  major  cuts  made 
in  last  year's  capital  budget  and  return  the  plan  to  a  plateau  similar  to  that  level  main- 
tained during  the  FY  1996  through  FY  1998  budget  years.  The  main  changes  in  the 
plan  include  a  new  item  for  FY  2000  to  address  potential  Y2K  problems  with  Police 
Department  software.  A  "Conveyor"  line  was  also  added  to  the  Solid  Waste 
Department  section  and  the  plan  includes  funding  that  was  set  aside  last  year.  Another 
item,  which  the  CPC  put  in  the  plan  for  FY01  funding  consideration,  was  a  "Cushman 
Police  Vehicle"  for  parking  enforcement  requested  by  the  Police  Department. 
Another  new  line,  "Digitize  Tax  Maps"  was  inserted  as  a  capital  reserve  item  starting 
in  FY01  at  the  request  of  the  Selectmen's  Office.  The  Planning  Board  also  broke  out 
some  of  the  plan's  "Highway  Department's  Roadway  &  Drainage"  line  into  a  new 
"Highland  Street  Capital  Reserve"  line  starting  in  FY01.  The  rest  of  the  plan  is  sim- 
ilar to  last  year's  plan  with  a  few  adjustments  and/or  shifts  in  certain  lines  based  on 
updated  inputs  and  priorities.  A  few  items  from  last  year's  plan  were  eliminated  based 
on  department  suggestions  or  decisions  by  the  CPC. 

The  Planning  Board  adopted  the  revised  CIP  on  November  5,  1998.

PLANNING  BOARD 
1998  ANNUAL  REPORT 


1998  has  proven  to  be  an  exciting  year  for  the  Planning  Board.  Several  site  plan 
reviews  and  proposed  changes  to  the  Zoning  Ordinance  have  drawn  larger  than  usual 
crowds  to  our  meetings.  The  Board  welcomed  Leslie  Mclver  as  an  alternate  member 
and  said  goodbye  to  departing  members  Carol  Kenneson  and  Kate  Coupe. 

After  several  years  of  hard  work,  the  Master  Plan  update  has  been  completed.  The 
Master  Plan  is  an  advisory  document,  but  its  statement  of  goals  for  future  develop- 
ment plays  a  major  role  in  determining  the  direction  that  growth  and  development  in 
the  Town  take  in  the  years  to  come.  Several  public  meetings  and  hearings  were  held 
prior  to  adoption  of  the  Plan,  and  many  citizens  turned  out  to  voice  their  concerns  and 
opinions. 

Construction  of  new  sidewalks  and  drainage  improvements  in  the  downtown 
began  in  the  summer  and  was  completed  in  early  December.  These  improvements 
were  funded  by  federal  ISTEA  funds,  State  Aid  for  Reconstruction  funds,  and  local 
funds.  In  addition  to  the  sidewalk  and  drainage  improvements,  brick  crosswalks  and 
sidewalk  edging  were  introduced,  enhancing  the  aesthetics  of  the  downtown  area. 
Pear  trees  and  attractive  lamp  posts  were  added  along  Main  Street. 

The  south  end  of  Main  Street  saw  further  change  with  the  construction  of  the  new 
Rite  Aid.  Approval  for  the  project  was  received  in  1997,  but  construction  did  not  begin 
until  this  summer.  The  construction  crew  was  able  to  continue  working  into  December 
due  to  the  unseasonably  mild  weather  this  fall,  thus  completing  the  project.  The  raz- 
ing of  the  former  Rite  Aid  building  has  given  pedestrians  and  travelers  a  new  gateway 
as  they  arrive  at  south  Main  Street.  Coupled  with  the  landscaping  and  signage  rec- 
ommended by  the  Planning  Board,  the  new  Rite  Aid  is  an  attractive  anchor  for  south- 
ern Main  Street. 

During  the  course  of  the  year,  the  Planning  Board  reviewed  15  site  plans,  3  lot 
line  adjustments,  3  subdivisions,  and  took  part  in  a  number  of  conceptual  reviews. 
Most  notable  among  these  is  the  current  site  plan  review  of  the  proposed  Wal*Mart 
on  Tenney  Mountain  Highway.  The  residents  of  Plymouth  and  surrounding  towns 
have  come  out  in  record  numbers  to  voice  their  concerns  or  support  for  this  proposal. 
The  review  of  this  application  will  continue  into  1999,  with  everyone  eagerly  await- 
ing the  outcome.  It  has  proven  to  be  both  exciting  and  exhausting  for  everyone 
involved. 

Respectfully  submitted, 

Jane  Blaine,  Chair  Carolyn  Kent,  Vice-Chairman 

Tim  Daigneault  Dave  Switzer

PLYMOUTH  MUNICIPAL  AIRPORT 
1998  ANNUAL  REPORT 


On  September  1,  1998, 1  assumed  the  duties  of  Airport  Manager  and  conducted  a 
survey  of  the  facility  to  assess  what  actions  needed  to  be  accomplished.  I  established 
a  priority  list  of  the  things  that  I  had  identified  as  immediate  action  items.  Those  items 
were  the  repair  of  broken  glass  in  the  Terminal  Building,  clean-up  debris  around  both 
buildings  and  the  perimeter  of  the  airfield. 

A  second  list  of  action  items  was  identified  that  addressed  those  items  that  were 
of  a  longer  time  frame  and  these  are: 

1 .  Developed  a  plan  to  remove  a  fuel  storage  tank  on  the  property  to  bring  the 
Town  into  conformance  with  State  regulations  regarding  aging  fuel  storage  facilities. 

2.  Began  clearing  brush  on  the  right  side  of  the  taxiway  from  the  hanger  in  a  west- 
erly direction.  This  is  needed  to  allow  taxing  aircraft  adequate  clearance  from  aircraft 
landing  on  runway  30.  Brush  was  removed  from  the  windsock  and  Segmented  Circle 
area  to  allow  better  visibility  of  both  from  the  air. 

3.  Inspected  the  drainage  system  on  the  westerly  end  of  the  airfield  and  developed 
a  plan  to  repair  it. 

To  date,  $1837.50  has  been  collected  in  fees  from  hanger  rental,  tie-downs  and 
land  rental.  I  am  developing  a  plan  to  establish  additional  user  fees  for  persons  using 
the  airport  property  but  not  permanently  based  on  the  property. 

I  am  optimistic  that  I  will  be  able  to  attract  more  users  to  the  airport.  Specifically, 
negotiations  are  underway  with  the  Franconia  Soaring  Club  to  bring  them  to 
Plymouth  Airport.  This  has  the  potential  to  bring  8-10  aircraft  to  our  facility  and  gen- 
erate upwards  of  an  additional  $1500/2000  in  fee  revenue. 

I  am  working  with  the  Airport  Study  Committee  in  developing  a  plan  to  construct 
additional  hanger  space  at  the  airport.  Hanger  space  is  the  number  one  revenue  gen- 
erator and  attraction  at  any  small  airport  and  the  Committee  has  presented  a  proposal 
that  has  the  potential  to  build  several  hangers  at  no  cost  to  the  taxpayer. 

Given  the  tax  environment  we  all  have  to  live  with  in  Plymouth  I  will  be  empha- 
sizing the  use  of  volunteer  labor  drawn  from  the  user  base  to  accomplish  several  other 
tasks.

Peter  C.  LeBlanc 

Manager,  Plymouth  Municipal  Airport

CEMETERY  TRUSTEES 
1998  ANNUAL  REPORT 


At  the  annual  Town  Meeting  in  1997,  the  voters  approved  the  Board  of  Selectmen 
stepping  down  as  Trustees  of  Plymouth's  cemeteries.  There  will  be  three  residents 
on  the  ballot  this  year  to  assume  those  responsibilities.  Each  year  a  new  trustee  will 
be  on  the  ballot  for  a  period  of  three  years. 

This  year  at  Riverside  Cemetery  the  following  was  accomplished: 

•A  14'x28'  wood  frame  building  was  erected  from  boards  salvaged  from  the 
removal  of  the  old  pine  trees.  The  project  was  designed  and  erected  by  the 
PRHS  Building  Trades  students.  The  building  houses  the  cemetery  truck  and 
burial  equipment. 

•  An  area  in  the  southeast  corner  of  Riverside  was  cleared  of  trees  and  shrubs  to 
be  used  as  Division  VI,  the  last  of  the  expansion  program. 

The  headstone  cleaning  program  starts  May  1999  and  will  continue  under  a  five 
year  program. 

We  welcome  suggestions  in  order  to  improve  the  appearance  of  our  community 
cemeteries.  Please  contact  the  Cemetery  Sexton. 

Respectfully  submitted, 

Board  of  Selectmen/Cemetery  Trustees

CONSERVATION  COMMISSION 
1998  ANNUAL  REPORT 


Since  the  last  report  to  the  Town,  Chair  Rob  Pike  has  stepped  down  after  putting 
in  a  lot  of  time  on  behalf  of  the  of  the  Commission  and  the  Town.  Thanks  to  his 
efforts  and  those  of  a  number  of  volunteers,  the  Sutherland  Trail  up  Plymouth 
Mountain  is  now  accessible  having  been  obliterated  by  "the  Great  Ice  Storm".  The 
Commission  will  also  miss  other  members  who  have  put  in  time  and  effort:  Lea 
Stewart  and  Jim  Mayhew.  With  these  membership  changes  in  effect,  we  seek  replace- 
ments. Those  interested  in  serving  on  the  Commission  should  send  a  letter  to  the 
Office  of  the  Selectmen.

PLYMOUTH  HEALTH  OFFICER 
1998  ANNUAL  REPORT 


1998  was  my  first  full  year  as  Health  Officer.  The  basic  responsibilities  include 
protecting  the  environment,  workplaces,  housing,  food  and  water. 

My  role  as  Health  Officer  has  given  me  great  opportunities  to  work  with  many- 
levels  of  town  management.  From  the  Selectmen.  Town  Administrator  and  Planner  to 
the  Police  and  Fire  Departments,  resources  at  the  State  of  XH  Level  have  also  been 
professional  and  a  pleasure  to  work  with.  PSC  and  the  taxpayers  of  Plymouth  have 
been  a  great  pleasure  to  work  with  as  well. 

In  1998  I  spent  time  participating  in  a  variety  of  committees  and  diverse  groups. 
In  no  particular  order.  I  could  be  found  at  College/Community  Council  meetings. 
Highway/Safety  Committee  meetings.  Housing  Standards,  and  State  of  XH  Health 
Officer  Team  Building  meetings. 

I  will  summarize  the  Health  Officers  responsibilities  in  a  list  for  you  and  place 
beside  it  a  number  reflecting  the  frequency  I  responded  to  such  calls  in  1998  (through 
Thanksgiving).  I  strongly  encourage  you  to  look  at  how  you  handle  opportunities 
with  you  neighbor,  tenant,  landlord,  or  even  yourself.  Then  try  to  deal  with  issues  pro- 
fessionally and  respectfully.  "THE  EARTH  MATTERS'".  ""Be  careful  and  be  safe."  I 
strongly  encourage  you  to  call  me  with  any  questions  or  concerns  that  you  are  unsure 
of  or  can't  handle.

REPORT  TO  THE  CITIZENS  OF  DISTRICT  ONE 
BY  RAYMOND  S.  BURTON,  COUNCILOR 

As  one  of  your  elected  officials,  I  am  honored  to  report  to  you  as  a  member  of  the 
New  Hampshire  Executive  Council.  This  five  member  elected  body  acts  much  like  a 
board  of  directors  of  your  New  Hampshire  State  Government  in  the  Executive 
Branch. 

In  my  twentieth  year  representing  this  District  with  98  towns  and  four  cities,  there 
are  many  changes  I've  seen  and  been  a  part  of  in  the  past.  My  focus  in  this  report  to 
you  is  toward  the  future  and  some  suggestions  on  how  you  as  citizens  might  be 
encouraged  to  participate  in  the  future. 

The  following  are  some  ideas  and  suggestions.  The  Governor  and  Council  have 
a  constitutional  and  lawful  duty  to  fill  dozens  of  boards  and  commissions  with  volun- 
teer citizens.  If  you  are  interested  in  serving  on  one  or  more  of  these  volunteer  posts, 
please  send  me  your  resume  at  the  State  House  and  I'll  see  that  it  is  passed  on  to  Kathy 
Goode,  Governor  Shaheen's  liaison  to  the  Executive  Council,  or  you  may  wish  to  send

REPORT  OF  TOWN  FOREST  FIRE  WARDEN 
AND  STATE  FOREST  RANGER 


To  aid  your  Forest  Fire  Warden,  Fire  Department  and  State  Forest  Ranger,  con- 
tact your  local  Warden  or  Fire  Department  to  find  out  if  a  permit  is  required  before 
doing  ANY  outside  burning.  Violations  of  RSA  227-L:17,  the  fire  permit  law  and  the 
other  burning  laws  of  the  State  of  New  Hampshire  are  misdemeanors  punishable  by 
fines  of  up  to  $2,000  and/or  a  year  in  jail.  Violators  are  also  liable  for  all  fire  sup- 
pression costs. 

There  are  ten  Forest  Rangers  who  work  for  the  New  Hampshire  Division  of 
Forests  and  Lands,  Forest  Protection  Bureau.  State  Forest  Rangers  are  available  to 
assist  communities  with  forest  fire  suppression,  prevention  and  training  programs  as 
well  as  the  enforcement  of  forest  fire  and  timber  harvest  laws.  If  you  have  any  ques- 
tions regarding  forest  fire  or  timber  harvest  laws,  please  call  our  office  at  271-2217. 

There  are  2400  Forest  Fire  Wardens  and  Deputy  Forest  Fire  Wardens  throughout 
the  state.  Each  town  has  a  Forest  Fire  Warden  and  several  Deputy  Wardens  who  assist 
the  Forest  Rangers  with  forest  fire  suppression,  prevention,  and  law  enforcement. 
Early  in  1998  we  experienced  an  ice  storm,  which  caused  severe  damage  to  forests  of 
New  Hampshire.  This  damage  created  a  greater  potential  fire  hazard  as  well  as  safety 
hazards  to  many  areas  of  the  state.  Your  local  fire  warden  and  Forest  Rangers  need 
your  assistance  in  preventing  wildfires  in  these  hard  hit  areas  and  throughout  the 
State.  If  you  need  assistance  or  information  dealing  with  ice  damaged  woodlands, 
please  call  1-800-444-8978. 

The  State  of  New  Hampshire  operates  15  fire  towers,  2  mobile  patrols  and  3  con- 
tract aircraft  patrols.  This  early  detection  and  reports  from  citizens  aid  in  the  quick 
response  from  local  fire  departments.  This  is  a  critical  factor  in  controlling  the  size  of 
wildland  fires  and  keeping  the  loss  of  property  and  suppression  costs  as  low  as  possible.

PLYMOUTH  COMMUNITY  CHANNEL  3  COMMITTEE 
1998  ANNUAL  REPORT 

Plymouth  Community  Channel  3  (PCC3)  is  the  public,  educational,  and  govern- 
mental access  channel  for  Frontier  Vision  Partners'  subscribers  in  Plymouth  and  sev- 
eral adjoining  towns.  The  PCC3  Committee,  inactive  for  a  number  of  years,  reports  to 
the  Plymouth  Board  of  Selectmen.  PCC3's  Cablecasting  Center  is  located  at  Pease 
Public  Library.  The  Center  has  an  Amiga  computer  for  generating  a  continuously 
repeating,  electronic  bulletin  board  with  accompanying  radio  programming.  There  is 
equipment  for  automated  airing  of  prerecorded  video  programs  submitted  by  mem- 
bers of  the  Plymouth  public,  schools/college,  and  government.  The  Center  also  has 
an  S-VHS  video  camcorder  and  mike  for  taping  governmental  and  other  programming 
for  cablecast  on  Channel  3.  The  channel  has  no  set  operating  budget.  However,  the 
Plymouth  Board  of  Selectmen  and  FrontierVision  Partners  did  cover  the  cost  of  pur- 
chasing some  replacement  hardware  and  other  miscellaneous  items  needed  by  the 
Channel  in  1998.  PCC3  depends  totally  on  volunteers  to  create  and  run  its  program- 
ming. By  stipulation  of  the  franchise  agreement  with  FrontierVision  Partners,  PCC3 
is  non-commercial. 

In  calendar  1998  through  December  15th,  265  new  messages  were  run  on  PCC3's 
bulletin  board.  This  is  down  22%  from  the  339  run  in  1997.  The  drop  can  be  attrib- 
uted to  the  decrease  in  volunteers  to  a  single  person  to  enter  messages  into  the  com- 
puter. Over  450  more  messages  were  received,  but  were  not  run. 

In  calendar  1998  through  December  15th,  prerecorded  video  programming 
totaled  169  shows.  This  is  a  63%  increase  over  1997's  total  of  107.  The  numbers  of 
program  contributions  from  each  of  the  3  categories  of  access  users  are:  Public  —  42, 
Educational  —  118,  and  Governmental  —  9.  For  the  third  year  in  a  row,  the  access 
user  submitting  the  greatest  number  of  taped  programs  was  PSC's  Meteorology  Dept. 
Their  6-minute,  PSC  PM  WEATHER  local  forecasts  ran  on  115  evenings.  The  pro- 
gram producer  who  submitted  the  second  largest  number  of  programs  was  Public 
Access  User  Jerry  Larson.  Jerry  contributed  37  Sunday  services  of  the  Plymouth 
Congregational  Church.  Two  consecutive  evenings  of  live  programming  were  pro- 
duced by  the  Plymouth  Chamber  of  Commerce.  These  shows  were  the  Chamber's 
TV/radio  auction,  their  major  annual  fund  raiser. 

PCC3  volunteers  who  deserve  many  thanks  are  John  B.  Bowen,  Jr.  and  Ken 
MacDonald.  The  staffs  of  Pease  Public  Library,  Plymouth  Selectmen's  Office,  and 
FrontierVision  Partners  were  always  most  helpful.

GRAFTON  COUNTY  SENIOR  CITIZENS  COUNCIL,  INC. 
ANNUAL  REPORT  1998 


Grafton  County  Senior  Citizens  Council,  Inc.  works  through  its  local  programs  to 
support  the  health  and  well  being  of  our  older  citizens  and  to  assist  them  to  remain 
independent  in  their  own  homes  and  communities  for  as  long  as  possible.  Through 
eight  locations  throughout  the  County,  including  Plymouth,  Bristol,  Canaan,  Lebanon, 
Orford,  Haverhill,  Littleton  and  Lincoln,  older  adults  and  their  families  are  able  to 
obtain  community  based  long  term  care  services  such  as  home  delivered  meals,  senior 
dining  room  programs,  transportation,  social  work  services,  information  and  referral, 
health  and  educational  programs,  adult  day  care,  recreation  and  opportunities  to  be  of 
service  to  the  community  through  volunteering. 

During  1997,  448  older  residents  of  Plymouth  were  able  to  make  use  of  one  or 
more  of  GCSCC's  services,  offered  through  the  Plymouth  Regional  Senior  Center. 
These  individuals  enjoyed  3,778  balanced  meals  in  the  company  of  friends  in  a  senior 
dining  room,  received  6,286  hot,  nourishing  meals  delivered  to  their  homes  by  caring 
volunteers,  were  transported  to  health  care  providers  or  other  community  resources  on 
2,297  occasions  by  our  lift-equipped  buses,  were  helped  through  868  visits  by  a 
trained  social  worker  and  found  opportunities  to  put  their  talents  and  skills  to  work  for 
a  better  community  through  4,940  hours  of  volunteer  service,  the  cost  to  provide  these 
services  for  Plymouth  residents  in  1997  was  $76,476.00. 

The  Plymouth  Regional  Senior  Center  celebrated  its  5th  anniversary  in  October, 
1988.  During  the  past  5  years,  the  center  has  become  a  resource  for  community  resi- 
dents of  all  ages,  hosting  parties,  arts  and  crafts  festivals,  railroad  events,  as  well  as 
many  health  and  human  service  programs.  This  year,  also,  the  center  initiated  a 
chore/home  repair  program  for  elders,  designed  to  assist  them  to  maintain  their  homes 
in  a  safe  and  comfortable  condition.  PRSC  volunteers,  Bob  and  Jean  Bergeron  were 
honored  by  Governor  Shaheen,  in  September,  as  recipients  of  the  Vaughan  Award  for 
Grafton  County,  and  another  PRSC  volunteer,  Mary  Ruel,  was  presented  with  the 
Ageless  Hero  award  for  her  many  contributions  to  the  community.  A  woodworking 
shop  was  established  in  an  auxiliary  building,  to  teach  skills  to  disabled  adults  and  to 
serve  as  a  resource  for  center  participants. 

Community  based  services  provided  by  GCSCC  and  its  many  volunteers  for 
older  residents  of  Plymouth  were  often  important  to  their  efforts  to  remain  in  their 
own  homes  and  out  of  institutional  care  despite  chronic  health  problems  and  increas- 
ing physical  frailty,  saving  tax  dollars  and  contributing  to  the  quality  of  life  of  our 
older  friends  and  neighbors. 

GCSCC  very  much  appreciates  the  support  of  the  Plymouth  community  for  ser- 
vices which  enhance  the  independence  and  dignity  of  our  older  citizens  and  assists 
them  to  meet  the  challenges  of  aging  in  place.

NORTH  COUNTRY  COUNCIL 
1998  PLYMOUTH  TOWN  REPORT 


In  1998,  North  Country  Council  supported  Plymouth  on  several  projects.  A  pro- 
posal has  been  developed  to  fund  an  arts  based  downtown  -  economic  development  ini- 
tiative and  cultural  resources  plan.  The  proposal  was  submitted  to  EDA  for  funding. 
We  secured  a  foundation  grant  for  the  town  to  pay  for  a  downtown  design  -  visioning 
effort.  We  began  the  process  of  evaluating  the  fairground  site  with  a  local  committee. 
NCC  worked  with  the  sewer  department  on  sewer  line  relocation  as  part  of  the 
NHDOT  downtown  road  reconstruction.  We  also  provided  assistance  to  the  town  on 
roadway  and  drainage  issues.  We  also  have  been  working  with  the  town  seeking  fund- 
ing for  water  line  extension  on  Tenney  Mountain  Highway.  The  Council  also  provid- 
ed engineering,  planning  and  traffic  review  services  to  the  Planning  Board  for  the  pro- 
posed WalMart.  We  also  continue  to  provide  support  to  the  Solid  Waste  District. 

In  25  years  of  service  we  recall  working  with  the  279  various  boards  in  the  region 
on  more  than  1300  projects.  We  have  seen  extraordinary  changes  in  the  last  25  years. 
In  1973,  a  first  class  stamp  was  8  cents.  We  had  rotary  dial  phones  that  required  only 
4  digits  to  make  a  local  call.  Our  vehicles  had  CBs,  not  cell  phones.  A  few  of  us  had 
photocopiers,  but  a  lot  of  people  still  typed  carbons  on  typewriters.  No  one  had  com- 
puters. A  hand  held  calculator  was  a  $100  marvel.  And  a  fax  machine  was  a  futuris- 
tic daydream.  Hundreds  worked  in  shoe  factories.  Employees  at  the  paper  mill  in 
Lincoln  outnumbered  workers  at  Loon  Mountain  by  a  factor  of  five.  A  job  at  a  bank 
was  a  job  for  life,  those  bank  made  loans  on  a  handshake.  Ski  areas  prayed  for  nat- 
ural snow,  it  was  the  only  way  they  could  operate.  From  Plymouth  to  Pittsburg  there 
were  5  traffic  lights,  and  forget  about  gas  or  coffee  north  of  exit  23  on  1-93  after  9  p.m. 

Since  1973,  we  have  seen  legislative  and  regulatory  change  in  banking,  energy, 
trade,  environment,  labor  relations,  safety,  transportation  and  health  care.  The  impact 
of  these  actions  on  our  communities  has  been  drastic.  Old  jobs  vanished  and  new  ones 
emerged.  In  this  environment,  the  Council  helped  40  towns  write  master  plans  to 
encourage  growth,  limit  development  or  just  to  help  them  get  a  hold  of  their  destiny. 

We  are  not  the  same  organization  we  were  in  1973.  As  your  needs  have  changed 
we  have  changed  with  you.  We  still  fight  for  our  share  of  road  upgrades  and  improve- 
ments but  now  we  also  seek  byways  that  enhance  cultural  assets  and  showcase  local 
landscapes.  We  still  seek  water  and  sewer  improvement  but  now  we  also  seek 
telecommunication  improvement.  Changing  times  summon  new  responses. 

Twenty-five  years  has  left  us  with  a  rich  legacy.  We  have  an  expert  staff.  Half  our 
staff  are  North  Country  natives,  the  other  half  have  lived  here  half  their  lives.  We  have 
solid  connections  with  agencies  in  Concord  and  Washington  that  can  equip  the  region 
for  a  changing  future.  We  have  learned  to  seek  incremental  improvement  by  educat- 
ing, sharing  information,  evaluating  possibilities,  holding  forums,  providing  technical 
assistance  and  obtaining  funds.  The  last  quarter  century  has  also  bestowed  on  us  the 
modern  technology  to  accomplish  these  tasks  and  serve  you  more  efficiently  and  effec- 
tively. This  legacy  is  the  promise  of  another  25  years  of  service  and  leadership. 


Sincerely, 
Preston  S.  Gilbert

PEMI-BAKER  HOME  HEALTH 
AN  AGENCY  REVIEW:  1998 


Home  care  has  been  an  American  tradition  for  more  than  a  century.  Home  care 
improves  our  society's  quality  of  life  by  enabling  individuals  to  stay  in  the  comfort 
and  security  of  their  own  homes  during  times  of  illness,  disability,  and  recuperation. 
Home  care  maintains  the  person's  dignity  and  independence. 

Pemi-Baker  Home  Health,  as  your  local  not-for-profit  home  care  agency,  contin- 
ues to  reach  out  to  the  public  by  informing  and  educating  our  communities  through 
our  agency  newsletter,  local  news  articles,  and  fundraising  efforts.  Internally,  agency 
employees  stay  informed  about  the  latest  healthcare  issues  and  clinical  developments 
through  staff  development  and  continuing  education.  By  the  end  of  this  year,  our 
Clinical  Coordinator,  Elaine  Vieria,  will  receive  her  Bachelors  in  Healthcare 
Administration  and  our  Executive  Director,  Margaret  Terrasi,  will  receive  her 
Master's  in  Management. 

Pemi-Baker  Home  Health  Agency  has  had  a  year  of  substantial  changes  in  the 
arena  of  healthcare  in  general.  Perhaps  the  biggest  change,  and  one  that  stands  to 
jeopardize  many  agencies  and  their  ability  to  continue  serving  the  nation's  37  million 
Medicare  beneficiaries,  is  the  Interim  Payment  System.  Under  IPS,  as  it  is  called,  per- 
beneficiary  cost  limits  are  used  (instead  of  the  traditional  per  visit/fee  for  service  reim- 
bursement)-based  on  an  agency's  1994  cost  figures-which  are  well  below  today's 
higher  actual  cost  of  care.  The  effects  of  the  new  payment  system  have  hit  both  home 
care  providers  and  patients  alike.  In  a  recent  study  it  was  revealed  that  92%  of  agen- 
cies have  cost  well  above  the  cost  limits  and  will  have  great  difficulty  in  maintaining 
their  agencies  within  the  new  guidelines. 

Indeed,  it  has  been  a  challenging  year.  At  a  time  when  agencies  are  struggling  to 
find  the  perfect  "fit"  between  the  newly  defined  home  care  benefit,  a  new  reimburse- 
ment system  and  ongoing  patient  needs,  agencies  continue  to  be  restricted  by  other 
mandates  in  the  form  of  additional  paperwork  requirements.  In  the  name  of  quality 
care,  patient  satisfaction  and  outcome  based  results,  agencies  are  trying  very  hard  to 
balance  what  little  time  is  left  for  caring  for  the  patient  with  bureaucratic  requirements 
that  force  costs  to  escalate.  As  reimbursement  avenues  are  cut  or  restricted,  agencies 
must  become  even  more  innovative  with  the  services  they  offer  to  those  in  need. 

This  agency  has  been  able  to  maintain  its  own  against  forces  that  seem  to  be  clos-

PEMI-BAKER  YOUTH  &  FAMILY  SERVICES  COUNCIL,  INC. 

1998  ANNUAL  REPORT 


The  Council  is  an  organization  dedicated  to  promoting  community-wide 
approaches  which  support  the  development  of  healthy  youths  and  their  families.  The 
Council  currently  coordinates  five  programs  which  are  available  to  people  in  Eastern 
Grafton  County: 

1.  Juvenile  Court  Diversion  -  a  voluntary  program  for  first-time  juvenile  offend- 
ers which  holds  them  accountable  for  their  actions.  Volunteers  from  the  community 
develop  a  contract  with  each  youth  and  family.  Contracts  may  include  community  ser- 
vice, referrals  to  other  agencies  and  programs,  personal  development  tasks,  etc.  We 
have  found  that,  of  the  youths  who  graduated  from  Diversion  in  1996  and  1997,  92% 
have  not  committed  a  subsequent  offense  since,  saving  tens  of  thousands  of  dollars  in 
court-ordered  services. 

2.  OSS  (Opportunities  for  Suspended  Students)  -  This  program  works  with  stu- 
dents and  families  from  Plymouth  Regional  High  School  who  are  at-risk  of  losing  course 
credit  due  to  repeated  suspensions.  This  community -based  approach  connects  families  to 
services  in  the  region  which  help  the  students  and  families  develop  their  strengths. 

3.  The  Challenge  Course  -  a  15-hour  early  intervention  program  for  teens  which 
focuses  on  alcohol,  tobacco  and  other  drugs.  Courses  are  non-judgmental  and  confi- 
dential. Teens  in  the  small  groups  are  asked  to  assess  their  relationships  with  these 
substances  and  learn  what  they  can  do  to  reduce  their  use  or  stop  using  entirely.  Of 
all  the  youths  who  successfully  completed  the  program  in  1996  and  1997,  not  one, 
0%,  has  re-offended. 

4.  OCTAA  (On  Campus  Talking  About  Alcohol  &  Other  Drugs)  -  offered  in 
cooperation  with  local  police  departments  and  Plymouth  State  College,  OCTAA  pro- 
vides an  effective  educational  opportunity  for  anyone  between  the  ages  of  18-21.  This 
is  also  a  lifetime  risk-reduction  program  on  the  use  and  abuse  of  drugs. 

5.  Information  and  Referral  -  provides  area  residents  with  a  clearinghouse  of 
information  on  regional  human  service  agencies  and  programs.  People  with  a  variety 
of  needs  can  receive  free  and  confidential  assistance  on  how  to  access  these  resources. 
Callers  ask  how  to  report  child  abuse,  how  to  access  public  assistance  or  counseling 
services,  where  to  find  after-school  activities  for  children,  etc.  The  Council  distrib- 
uted nearly  2000  comprehensive  Grafton  County  Resource  Guides  in  1998  to  help 
towns,  police,  schools  and  other  human  service  providers  find  services  for  the  people 
they  work  with. 

Total  service  figures  for  the  Council  in  calendar  year  1998  are  as  follows: 

Juvenile  Court  Diversion  36 

OSS  Program  (no  summer  referrals)  16 

Challenge  Course  42 

Information  and  Referral  calls  and  visits  208 

Grafton  County  Resource  Guides  2000 

OCTAA  (no  summer  course)  96

ly. The  field  marks  on  the  ground  commonly  considered  to  be  the  line  boundaries  will

A  discussion  followed  which  explored  the  advantages  and  disadvantages  of  such 
a  change  but  also  underscored  the  fact  that  many  voters  did  not  understand  the  work- 
ings of  this  law. 

Mr.  MacNeil  suggested  that  voters  wait  until  a  comprehensive  report  on  the 
Municipal  Budget  Law  could  be  presented. 

Janet  Moorhead  asked  if  this  article  could  be  amended  to  include  provisions  for 
an  ad  hoc  study  committee.  Moderator  Clay  explained  that  the  language  of  this  par- 
ticular article  was  dictated  by  statute  and  thus  had  to  be  voted  up  or  down  without 
change.

To  transact  any  other  business  that  may  legally  come  before  said  meeting.

Clay's  previous  ruling  on  the  proposed  amendment  to  Article  22.  Town 
Administrator,  Merelise  O'Connor,  stated  that  based  on  her  experience  the 
Department  of  Revenue  Administration  would  rule  the  proposed  amendment  as  inap- 
propriate and  inadmissible  and  disallow  this  appropriation.  The  law  does  state  that  a 
warrant  article  must  distinctly  address  the  purpose  for  which  a  reserve  is  to  be  estab- 
lished. Mr.  Houle  was  of  the  opinion  that  this  criteria  was  met  because  the  following 
article  did  specify  raising  and  appropriating  money  for  the  same  purpose  and  that  the 
total  amount  would  not  change. 

Voted,  by  affirmative  voice  vote,  to  uphold  the  Moderator's  ruling. 

There  was  no  other  business  and  the  meeting  was  adjourned  at  10:10  pm. 


Respectfully  submitted,

COMMISSIONERS'  REPORT 


The  Board  of  Commissioners  and  staff  are  striving  to  prepare  the  District  for  the 
21st  century  in  regards  to  improvements  to  its  water  and  sewer  infrastructure  and 
facilities.  Expansion  of  the  Tenney  Mountain  Highway  water  line  from  Highland 
Street  to  Arlyn  Farm  was  approved  by  voters  at  the  1991  annual  meeting  and  is  antic- 
ipated to  be  completed  in  1999  to  provide  a  potable  water  supply  to  existing  and 
planned  businesses  and  residences.  Expansion  of  the  sewer  line  on  Fairgrounds  Road 
from  Riverside  Cemetery  to  the  District  boundary  has  been  delayed  for  many  years. 
Three  engineering  assessments  of  alternative  alignments  have  been  funded  in  the 
search  for  a  cost  effective  solution.  This  remains  a  high  priority. 

Improvements  to  existing  infrastructure  are  ongoing,  as  evidenced  by  replace- 
ment of  the  Maple/Broadway  and  Court  Street  water  and  sewer  lines  in  1998.  The  lat- 
ter work  was  done  by  PSC  with  minimal  cost  to  the  District. 

The  District  has  formalized  an  agreement  with  the  Town  of  Bristol  to  accept  its 
sludge  for  conversion  to  compost  at  the  Plymouth  facility.  A  similar  agreement  with 
Woodstock  has  been  ongoing  for  years.  This  will  reduce  operation  costs  to  the 
District  and  improve  the  utilization  of  this  facility  while  maintaining  the  high  compost 
quality.  A  fee  schedule  has  been  adopted  to  recapture  some  of  the  costs  for  compost 
production. 

The  District  has  amended  its  septage  receiving  policy  effective  September  1st. 
Twenty-one  towns  have  signed  a  written  agreement  with  the  District  to  provide  for 
septage  disposal  and  will  be  paying  an  annual  fee. 

The  District  has  worked  closely  with  the  Downtown  2000  Project  in  infrastruc- 
ture improvements  on  Main  Street  and  at  Riverfront  Park. 

Improvements  and  system  expansion  come  at  a  cost.  The  District  voted  to 
increase  rates  in  1998  and  must  raise  rates  again  in  1999.  The  District  remains  in  the 
lowest  third  in  the  state  in  regard  to  rates.  This  has  resulted  in  some  difficulty  in 
securing  federal  assistance  for  infrastructure  improvements!  Nevertheless,  the 
District  expects  to  service  an  increasing  clientele  as  we  position  ourselves  for  the 
future.  The  Commissioners  and  staff  are  focused  on  continually  improving  our  prod- 
ucts and  services  for  the  benefit  of  District  rate  payers.  Efficient  management  of  our 
wastewater  to  protect  the  Pemigewasset  River  while  producing  a  viable  compost 
byproduct,  and  providing  potable  drinking  water  for  an  expanding  population  base 
will  remain  a  challenge  in  light  of  increasing  state  and  federal  requirements. 

The  Commissioners  serve  you,  the  rate  payers  and  users,  and  we  value  your  con- 
tinued support. 

Respectfully, 

John  J.  McCormack  Jr.,  Chairman 
Steven  H.  Temperino 
Richard  A.  Flanders  Jr.

OPERATIONS  REPORT 


1998  was  an  exceptionally  busy  construction  year  for  the  District.  The  following 
water  and  sewer  line  replacement  projects  were  completed: 

Broadway  and  Maple  Street  2250+/-  lineal  feet  of  10"  class  52 

ductile  iron  water  main 
2250  +/-  lineal  feet  of  8"  PVC 
gravity  sewer 

Final  paving  to  be  completed  in 
Spring  1999 

Court  Street  with  PSC  350+/-  lineal  feet  of  6"  class  52 

(Replacement)  ductile  iron  water  main 

350+/-  lineal  feet  of  8"  PVC  gravity 
sewer 

Main  Street  with  the  Town  and  DOT  177+/-  lineal  feet  of  8"  PVC  gravity 

(Replacement)  sewer 

Smith  Street  160  lineal  feet  of  10"  ductile  iron 

(New)  water  main 

The  Smith  Street  installation  was  done  to  facilitate  the  last  phase  of  the  water 
loop  from  the  reservoir  to  Maple  Street. 

Water  Division:  Compliance  with  EPA's  water  quality  regulation,  the  copper  and 
lead  rule,  has  been  achieved  for  the  fifth  consecutive  year.  The  detected  level  of  dis- 
solved lead  in  special  water  samples  remains  at  less  than  1/2  the  allowable  EPA  limit. 
We  would  like  to  thank  those  homeowners  who  have  participated  in  this  sampling  pro- 
gram. 

Positive  results  were  again  received  through  our  water  usage  audit.  The  audit 
compares  the  total  gallons  pumped  with  all  known  water  uses,  such  as,  customer  use, 
fires,  flushing,  construction,  etc.  The  1998  unaccounted  water  percentage  is  4.1%  of 
the  total  pumped.  The  industry  standard  is  <15%, 

Water  System  Totals: 

142,317,500     gallons  pumped  at  the  wellsite 
389,911     gallons  per  day  average 
This  represents  a  3.7%  reduction  over  1997  usage. 

Wastewater  Division:  Several  improvements  have  been  made  to  the  wastewater  treat- 
ment facility.  The  most  significant  were  to  the  soil  filter  and  the  compost  mixing 
machine.  The  soil  filter  that  controls  the  odors  from  dewatering  and  septage  receiving 
was  reconditioned.  This  project  was  completed  in-house,  saving  the  District  $2,200. 
The  controls  and  computer  program  for  the  compost  mixing  machine  were  updated. 
The  mixing  machine  is  the  hydraulic  powered  machine  that  mixes  sludge  and  amend- 
ment to  make  the  compost.  This  process  is  now  working  more  efficiently.

INDEPENDENT  A  UDITOR  'S  REPORT 


To  the  Members  of  the 

Board  of  Commissioners 
Plymouth  Village  Water  and  Sewer  District 
Plymouth,  New  Hampshire 

We  have  audited  the  accompanying  general  purpose  financial  statements  of  the  Plymouth  Village  Water 
and  Sewer  District  as  of  and  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  1998  as  listed  in  the  table  of  contents. 
These  general  purpose  financial  statements  are  the  responsibility  of  the  District's  management.  Our 
responsibility  is  to  express  an  opinion  on  these  general  purpose  financial  statements  based  on  our  audit. 

Except  as  discussed  in  the  following  paragraph,  we  conducted  our  audit  in  accordance  with  generally 
accepted  auditing  standards  and  the  standards  applicable  to  financial  audits  contained  in  Government 
Auditing  Standards  issued  by  the  Comptroller  General  of  the  United  States.  Those  standards  require  that 
we  plan  and  perform  the  audit  to  obtain  reasonable  assurance  about  whether  the  financial  statements  are 
free  of  material  misstatement.  An  audit  includes  examining,  on  a  test  basis,  evidence  supporting  the 
amounts  and  disclosures  in  the  financial  statements.  An  audit  also  includes  assessing  the  accounting 
principles  used  and  significant  estimates  made  by  management,  as  well  as  evaluating  the  overall  financial 
statement  presentation.  We  believe  that  our  audit  provides  a  reasonable  basis  for  our  opinion. 

Government  Accounting  Standards  Board  Technical  Bulletin  98-1,  Disclosures  about  Year  2000  Issues, 
requires  disclosure  of  certain  matters  regarding  the  year  2000  issue.  The  Plymouth  Village  Water  and 
Sewer  District  has  included  such  disclosures  in  the  Notes  to  Financial  Statements.  Because  of  the 
unprecedented  nature  of  the  year  2000  issue,  its  effects  and  the  success  of  related  remediation  efforts 
will  not  be  fully  determinable  until  the  year  2000  and  thereafter.  Accordingly,  insufficient  audit 
evidence  exists  to  support  the  Plymouth  Village  Water  and  Sewer  District's  disclosures  with  respect  to 
the  year  2000  issue.  Further  we  do  not  provide  assurance  that  the  Plymouth  Village  Water  and  Sewer 
District  is  or  will  be  year  2000  ready,  that  the  Plymouth  Village  Water  and  Sewer  District's  year  2000 
remediation  efforts  will  be  successful  in  whole  or  in  part,  or  that  parties  with  which  the  Plymouth 
Village  Water  and  Sewer  District  does  business  will  be  year  2000  ready. 

The  general  purpose  financial  statements  referred  to  above  do  not  include  the  general  fixed  assets 
account  group  which  should  be  included  in  order  to  conform  with  generally  accepted  accounting 
principles.  As  is  the  case  with  most  municipal  entities  in  the  State  of  New  Hampshire,  the  Plymouth 
Village  Water  and  Sewer  District  has  not  maintained  historical  cost  records  of  its  fixed  assets.  The 
amount  that  should  be  recorded  in  the  general  fixed  assets  account  group  is  not  known.

Plymouth  Village  Water  and  Sewer  District 
Independent  Auditor's  Report 

In  our  opinion,  except  for  the  effect  on  the  financial  statements  of  the  omission  described  in  the 
preceding  paragraph,  along  with  the  effects  of  such  adjustments,  if  any,  as  might  have  been  determined 
to  be  necessary  had  we  been  able  to  examine  evidence  regarding  year  2000  disclosures,  as  noted  above, 
the  general  purpose  financial  statements  referred  to  above  present  fairly,  in  all  material  respects,  the 
financial  position  of  the  Plymouth  Village  Water  and  Sewer  District,  as  of  December  31,  1998,  and  the 
results  of  its  operations  for  the  year  then  ended  in  conformity  with  generally  accepted  accounting 
principles. 

In  accordance  with  Government  Auditing  Standards,  we  have  also  issued  our  report  dated  January  12, 
1999  on  our  consideration  of  the  Plymouth  Village  Water  and  Sewer  District's  internal  control  over 
financial  reporting  and  our  tests  of  its  compliance  with  certain  provisions  of  laws,  regulations,  contracts 
and  grants. 

Our  audit  was  made  for  the  purpose  of  forming  an  opinion  on  the  general  purpose  financial  statements 
of  the  Plymouth  Village  Water  and  Sewer  District  taken  as  a  whole.  The  combining  and  individual  fund 
financial  statements  listed  as  schedules  in  the  table  of  contents  are  presented  for  purposes  of  additional 
analysis  and  are  not  a  required  part  of  the  general  purpose  financial  statements  of  the  Plymouth  Village 
Water  and  Sewer  District.  Such  information  has  been  subjected  to  the  auditing  procedures  applied  in 
the  audit  of  the  general  purpose  financial  statements  and,  in  our  opinion,  is  fairly  presented  in  all 
material  respects  in  relation  to  the  general  purpose  financial  statements  taken  as  a  whole.

SUPERINTENDENT'S  REPORT 


This  is  a  crucial  year  for  the  Rumney  School  District  and  the  Pemi-Baker 
Regional  School  District. 

Russell  Elementary  School  is  in  dire  straits  regarding  its  air  quality.  The  carbon 
dioxide  levels  in  the  building  are  high  and  could  only  be  resolved  this  year  by  leaving 
windows  open.  The  result  has  been  fresh  air,  but  children  have  had  to  work  in  low  60 
degree  temperatures.  High  carbon  dioxide  levels  indicate  that  the  ventilation  in  the 
building  is  poor.  When  carbon  dioxide  levels  are  high  it  is  likely  that  other  contami- 
nants are  high  also  (dust,  mold,  viruses,  bacteria,  chemicals  and  countless  other  sub- 
stances). Some  contaminants  are  released  from  the  building,  some  from  cleaning  sup- 
plies, some  from  food  preparation,  some  from  office  supplies.  The  sources  are  virtu- 
ally countless.  However,  increasing  the  air  exchange  rate  will  reduce  concentrations 
of  carbon  dioxide  and  the  contaminants.  The  solution  of  the  situation  is  to  install  mod- 
ern ventilation  systems  in  each  room.  This  will  allow  our  children  and  staff  to  breath 
healthy  air  free  of  excess  levels  of  carbon  dioxide  and  contaminants.  Rumney's  space 
needs  study  committee  has  recommended  that  this  ventilation  issue  be  resolved  as 
soon  as  possible  and  has  also  recommended  renovation  and  addition  to  the  school. 
The  bond  for  the  gymnasium  is  now  paid  for  and  interest  rates  are  at  an  all  time  low. 
Please  give  this  problem  your  most  serious  consideration. 

Plymouth  Regional  High  School  has  seen  student  enrollment  move  from  550  stu- 
dents in  1992  to  our  present  enrollment  of  845  students  for  1999.  This  represents  an 
average  increase  of  50  students  per  year.  We  anticipate  that  the  growth  will  continue 
and  then  eventually  level  out  somewhere  in  the  range  of  900+.  The  building  needs 
study  committee  has  been  working  diligently  and  for  long  hours  to  develop  an  pro- 
posal which  is  a  million  dollars  less  than  last  year's  proposal  (actually  two  million 
dollars  less  than  the  proposal  two  years  ago).  Members  of  the  committee  have  done 
this  by  eliminating  the  theater/music/art  complex,  foregoing  reconstruction  of  the  dri- 
ves and  parking  areas  and  eliminating  any  athletic  field  construction.  The  committee 
is  recommending  that  we  resolve  the  crowded  conditions  in  theater/art/music  through 
renovation  and  members  have  focused  the  new  space  on  the  academic  areas,  library 
and  the  cafeteria.  Briefly  our  science  classrooms  are  inadequate  as  laboratories.  They 
do  not  have  enough  space  and  are  absent  proper  and  safe  storage.  Also  as  many  of  you 
know,  program  needs  have  increased  in  the  areas  of  special  education,  computer/tech- 
nology, vocational/technical  education  and  for  students  at  risk  which  has  put  addi- 
tional pressure  on  our  space.  The  library  has  traffic  flow  and  space  utilization  prob- 
lems that  limit  proper  viewing  areas  and  adequate  use  of  technology.  The  heating  and 
ventilation  systems  have  reached  the  limits  of  their  usefulness  and  considering  the 
number  of  students  in  the  building,  must  be  replaced/upgraded  in  order  to  provide  the 
air  quality  necessary  for  nearly  1000  people  (including  staff)  who  are  in  the  building 
at  any  given  time.  The  building  committee's  recommendations  are  sound,  well  rea- 
soned and  fiscally  responsible.  The  proposal  addresses  the  foreseeable  future  in  the 
most  appropriate  and  economical  manner.  If  you  study  the  committee's  proposal,  I 
think  you  will  be  pleased. 

SAU  #48  is  working  hard  to  coordinate  K-12  curriculum  between  each  elemen- 
tary school  and  with  the  high  school.  It  is  important  to  do  this  because  all  of  our  stu- 


S-4 


dents  eventually  go  to  the  high  school  and  we  also  have  a  need  to  align  our  curricu- 
lum with  the  State  frameworks  (NH  Assessment).  We  will  have  finished  K-12  math- 
ematics by  the  end  of  this  summer.  Technology  curriculum  is  being  finalized  and  work 
continues  on  the  K-12  science  curriculum.  Much  of  this  work  is  supported  by  grants 
written  in  the  SAU  office. 

As  is  our  practice,  we  have  tried  to  keep  all  of  our  district  budgets  at  a  minimal 
increase  while  still  providing  a  quality  education.  This  has  been  particularly  possible 
because  of  increased  state  revenues  which  hopefully  will  continue.  In  addition,  our 
teachers  and  principals  have  been  thoughtful  and  cautious  in  their  recommendations. 

I  am  deeply  appreciative  of  the  myriad  of  contributions  made  by  our  community 
members,  board  members,  and  staff  members.  The  towns  within  this  SAU  have 
always  been  supportive  of  quality  education  and  I  am  appreciative  of  the  support  I 
have  received  as  we  continue  to  strive. 

Respectfully  submitted, 

John  True

PRINCIPAL'S  REPORT 


TO  THE  CITIZENS  OF  THE  PLYMOUTH  SCHOOL  DISTRICT: 

Plymouth  Elementary  School  opened  it's  doors  in  September  with  an  enrollment 
almost  identical  to  that  of  last  year.  Although  there  has  been  a  flurry  of  movement, 
enrollment  is  presently  at  508  students.  We  anticipate  a  larger  kindergarten  class  for 
next  year,  which  will  return  our  enrollment  to  a  number  around  530  students. 

Teachers  and  members  of  the  community  continue  to  work  in  several  curriculum 
areas.  This  year  we  are  piloting  a  K-8  Social  Studies  curriculum  which  is  aligned  with 
the  New  Hampshire  State  Frameworks.  Presently  committees  are  working  in  the  areas 
of  science  and  technology. 

Plymouth  Elementary  has  been  nominated  as  a  Blue  Ribbon  School  of  Excellence 
by  the  U.S.  Department  of  Education.  The  application  for  this  honor  was  a  lengthy 
process  that  members  of  the  faculty  and  school  board  completed  in  September.  We 
anticipate  hearing  final  results  this  spring.  We  could  not  have  been  considered  for  this 
award  without  the  continued  support  of  the  community  and  a  dedicated  faculty. 

This  year's  Educational  Theater  Collaborative  (ETC)  will  present  Fiddler  on  the 
Roof.  This  collaboration  with  Plymouth  Friends  of  the  Arts  and  Plymouth  State 
College  continues  to  provide  our  students,  parents,  faculty  and  community  members 
a  wonderful  opportunity  to  display  their  talents.  For  those  of  us  less  talented,  it's  a 
time  to  spend  an  exciting  evening  watching  our  friends  and  family  perform.  We  hope 
everyone  will  have  an  opportunity  to  view  this  delightful  production. 

My  thanks  go  to  the  volunteers  and  parents  who  are  involved  in  making  this 
school  such  a  wonderful  place,  and  to  the  voters  of  the  Plymouth  School  District  who 
continue  to  support  quality  education  for  their  children,  who  are  our  future. 

Respectfully  submitted,

PLYMOUTH  ELEMENTARY  SCHOOL 
NURSE'S  REPORT 


The  following  is  the  1998  report  of  the  Health  Services  at  Plymouth  Elementary 
School: 

Health  Services  are  provided  for  approximately  512  students  and  85  staff  mem- 
bers. These  services  encompass  a  variety  of  offerings.  The  health  office  is  open  daily 
for  first  aid  visits,  illnesses,  medication  dispersal,  health  counseling,  vision  and  hear- 
ing checks,  blood  pressure,  lice,  scoliosis  and  asthma  checks.  Also  included  is  com- 
munication and  referral  to  area  physicians  and  agencies.  About  70-90  students  visit  on 
a  daily  basis. 

My  administrative  duties  consist  of  fiscal,  legal,  hot  lunch  program,  monitoring 
daily  absences  and  keeping  a  complete  health  file  on  all  students.  This  file  consists  of 
immunizations,  medical  exams  by  a  physician,  medications  and  health  histories, 
including  chronic  illnesses.  I  am  also  available  as  a  resource  person  for  health  class- 
es, and  periodically  teach  health  to  various  classes. 

Over  the  course  of  the  year  approximately  80  sports  physicals  were  performed  by 
Plymouth  Pediatrics.  In  April,  a  clinic  was  held  here  to  administer  measles,  mumps 
and  rubella  vaccine  to  incoming  seventh  graders.  This  booster  is  required  by  state  law. 
At  this  time  we  also  offered  a  booster  of  tetanus  and  diphtheria  to  eighth  graders.  This 
was  to  prepare  them  for  entry  into  high  school.  A  total  of  73  students  took  advantage 
of  this  clinic.  In  November,  40  staff  members  received  the  flu  vaccine. 

This  year  we  began  a  new  dental  program  in  conjunction  with  Speare  Memorial. 
The  program's  goal  is  to  provide  dental  care  to  children  who  would  otherwise  not 
always  receive  care.  The  program  consists  of  screening,  prevention,  and  referral  to  an 
area  dentist  for  restorative  care.  Barbara  Laverack  was  the  dental  hygienist.  A  total  of 
231  children  were  screened;  61  students  signed  up  for  cleaning  and  fluoride,  33  stu- 
dents paid  and  28  students  were  treated  for  free;  44  referrals  to  a  dentist  were  made. 

In  October,  19  staff  members  participated  in  a  Personal  Wellness  Profile  spon- 
sored by  Blue  Cross  Blue  Shield.  The  profile  was  administered  by  Catholic  Medical 
Center. 

SAU  #  48  school  nurses  continue  to  meet  monthly  to  share  information,  monitor 
and  update  policies  and  programs  as  needed. 

Please  contact  me  at  any  time  if  you  have  any  questions  in  regards  to  your  child's 
health.

Board  does  not  recommend  this  Article.)  (60%  majority  vote

A  member  of  the  public  stated  that  she  is  not  in  favor  of  the  SB2.  The 


S-9 


way  school  district  meetings  are  currently  held  are  very  effective. 

Dave  Moorehead  stated  that  he  felt  this  area  is  very  well  informed  due 
to  the  public  access  channel  and  the  local  newspapers.  He  is  in  support 
ofSB2. 

Patrice  Scott  stated  that  people  are  very  informed  in  this  area  and  she 
supports  SB 2.  She  feels  that  some  individuals  are  not  able  to  attend  the 
district  meetings  because  of  other  commitments,  therefore,  they  are  not 
able  to  vote  and  take  part  in  the  discussions. 

Jack  Criste  also  is  in  support  of  the  SB2.  People  are  informed. 

Mr.  Cantor  stated  that  he  is  not  in  support  of  the  SB2.  This  Bill  has  not 
proven  itself  in  other  districts  that  have  voted  it  in. 

Widge  Kent  commented  that  the  people  in  the  community  elect  the 
school  board  members  and  they  should  feel  that  they  are  working  in 
everyone's  best  interest.  She  does  not  support  SB2. 

Article  8:  Joanne  Strickland  paid  tribute  to  Mary  Crane  for  her  years  of  service 

to  the  Board.  She  will  be  greatly  missed. 

With  no  further  business  to  transact,  the  meeting  was  adjourned  by 
Moderator  Robert  Clay  at  7:23  p.m. 

Respectfully  submitted,

INDEPENDENT  AUDITOR'S  REPORT 


To  the  Board 

Plymouth  School  District 

Plymouth,  New  Hampshire 

We  have  audited  the  accompanying  general-purpose  financial  statements  of  the 
Plymouth  School  District  as  of  and  for  the  year  ended  June  30,  1998,  as  listed  in  the 
table  of  contents.  These  general-purpose  financial  statements  are  the  responsibility  of 
the  Plymouth  School  District  management.  Our  responsibility  is  to  express  an  opin- 
ion on  these  general-purpose  financial  statements  based  on  our  audit. 

We  conducted  our  audit  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  auditing  stan- 
dards. Those  standards  require  that  we  plan  and  perform  the  audit  to  obtain  reason- 
able assurance  about  whether  the  general-purpose  financial  statements  are  free  if 
material  misstatement.  An  audit  includes  examining,  on  a  test  basis,  evidence  sup- 
porting the  amounts  and  disclosures  in  the  general-purpose  financial  statements.  An 
audit  also  includes  assessing  the  accounting  principles  used  and  significant  estimates 
made  by  management,  as  well  as  evaluating  the  overall  general-purpose  financial 
statement  presentation.  We  believe  that  our  audit  provides  a  reasonable  basis  for  our 
opinion. 

The  general-purpose  financial  statements  referred  to  above  do  not  include  the 
General  Fixed  Assets  Account  Group,  which  should  be  included  to  conform  with  gen- 
erally accepted  accounting  principles.  The  amounts  that  should  be  recorded  in  the 
General  Fixed  Assets  Account  Group  are  not  known. 

In  our  opinion,  except  for  the  effect  on  the  general-purpose  financial  statements 
of  the  omission  described  in  the  preceding  paragraph,  the  general  -purpose  financial 
statements  referred  to  above  present  fairly,  in  all  material  respects,  the  financial  posi- 
tion of  the  Plymouth  School  District  as  of  June  30,  1998,  and  the  results  of  its  opera- 
tions for  the  year  then  ended  in  conformity  with  generally  accepted  accounting  prin- 
ciples. 

Our  audit  was  conducted  for  the  purpose  of  forming  an  opinion  on  the  general- 
purpose  financial  statements  taken  as  a  whole.  The  individual  and  combining  fund 
financial  statements  and  schedules  listed  in  the  table  of  contents  are  presented  for  pur- 
poses of  additional  analysis  and  are  not  a  required  part  of  the  general-purpose  finan- 
cial statements  of  the  Plymouth  School  District.  Such  information  has  been  subject- 
ed to  the  auditing  procedures  applied  in  the  audit  of  the  general-purpose  financial 
statements  and,  in  our  opinion,  is  fairly  presented  in  all  material  respects  in  relation  to 
the  general-purpose  financial  statements  taken  as  a  whole.
