15 SELECTMEN’S REPORT
The Board of Selectmen re-organized in 1 984 with Robert W. Foster as Chairman, Walter Silveira as Clerk of the Board and Everett J. Macomber, Jr. as Veterans’ Agent.
Continued emphasis was made throughout the year to promote Fairhaven’s business and industrial potentials in all areas and with a total town commitment and cooperation, the American Tel. & Tel. Co. not only completed its Data Processing facility, they added a new service building on the same parcel of land.
A major expansion of the American Tel. & Tel. Co. is the clerical and billing facility presently being constructed on a parcel of land south of Bridge Street at Mill Road. They are presently building a 16-million dollar office complex on 25 acres of land and the other 25 acres were rezoned to industrial zoning for future de- velopment. We are most grateful that they saw fit to choose Fairhaven as the site for this expansion.
Industrial development is also proceeding along at a rapid pace on the easterly side of Alden Road. Lambeth Associates have built a U-Haul office along with mini-storage warehouses. D.R.D. Trans- portation is presently building in this same development.
Hathaway-Braley Wharf, Inc. has completed their ice plant and Shaw’s Market is presently increasing their floor space.
From all the information we receive, it appears that the Federal Government will eliminate the Revenue Sharing program. The additional tax base derived from this industrial development will help ease this loss of revenue.
A major concern of our community and, certainly not unique to Fairhaven, is the problem of refuse disposal. Through proper disposal methods, Fairhaven does have some time left in their landfill area, but we are also taking steps to insure the future of refuse disposal. An agreement has been signed with Energy Answers Corporation. They hope to build a waste-to-energy plant in the Town of Rochester.
Steps are also being taken to insure the continued use of the parcel that is presently leased from the Fairhaven Drive-In Theatre. We hope to either extend the lease or purchase the property to
16 guarantee the ten or fifteen years of life that we anticipate at our present landfill.
The Executive Office of Communities and Development approved the CARD program (Commercial Area Revitalization District). This will bring new life to our waterfront district that plays a major part in Fairhaven’s economy.
For the first time in the history of the Police Department, a Lieutenant was appointed as second-in-command to the Police Chief.
This thinking will also carry over to the Fire Department when a Deputy Fire Chief will be appointed as soon as the Civil Service examination is held.
Proposition 2% requires very diligent and prudent consideration of all financial decisions. The Financial Management Council will continue to monitor all available revenues to assist the Finance Committee and the Town Meeting members in making proper de- terminations on all expenditures.
With all the constraints and restraints of Proposition 2V6, we were still able to grant raises to our employees and have not found it necessary to curtail any services.
Proof of our continuing fiscal responsibility is the fact that the tax rate has remained stable for the past three years. In this day and age of inflation, we are quite happy that this has been accom- plished.
We are particularly appreciative to the many dedicated individ- uals including department heads, appointed and elected officials, committee members, employees and town residents for their con- tinued cooperation and total commitment toward making 1984 a year of progress.
The year of 1984 had its share of problems, plans and accom- plishments. Fairhaven has taken some giant steps to maintain and improve its services to its residents and has, through the efforts of many, improved its image.
17 raise our families We know it is an excellent place to live and the con- and we will continue to make a sincere effort to reflect fidence and pride we have in our community.
ROBERT W. FOSTER, Chairman WALTER SILVEIRA EVERETT J. MACOMBER, JR.

SYLVIA , Chairman HAROLD BIB NOWELL JEANNE C. REEDY 69 BOARD OF HEALTH The Board of Health has met regularly on the second and fourth Wednesdays of each month. Special meetings were called for show cause hearings or upon request by aggrieved individuals seeking a variance from the State Sanitary Code and local rules and regulations. The regularly scheduled clinics sponsored by the Board of Health, and conducted by the Community Nurse Association of Fairhaven, were well attended. The Immunization Program as implemented by the Town has been very satisfactory. These programs include immunizations against childhood diseases and influenza. Lead paint poison testing is also made available upon request. The Board has continued to actively support animal rabies and encephalomyelitis clinics on an annual basis. After several meetings with the Sewer Study Committee, the Board conducted a survey in the East Fairhaven area to deter- mine and justify a need for municipal sewer. There was an 81% response and the results were submitted to the Board of Public Works to assist them in applying for State and Federal grants. The Board will continue to work toward municipal sewer in problem areas where septic systems have failed, or are failing, with no alternatives for repairs. Consideration will also have to be given to some type of maintenance program in those areas where it will not be practical to install municipal sewers. The following Communicable Diseases were reported this year: 42 Animal Bites 5 Hepatitis 94 Chicken Pox 2 Salmonellosis 1 Dysentery 5 Scarlet Fever 20 Gonorrhea 30 Strep Throat The following licenses and permits were issued: 87 Food Establishments 3 Health Spas 3 Retail Food Stores 3 Massage License 401 Food Handler’s Certificates 4 Motels 3 Milk (Dealers) 6 Wells 70 76 Milk (Stores) 55 Percolation Test 1 Frozen Dessert 8 Removal of Offal 6 Catering 18 Animal Permits 6 Mobile Food 7 Boat Marina Disposal System Installer: 10 Private Systems: 16 Public Swimming Pool: 1 Residential Swimming Pools: 30 Premature Births: 4 Burial Permits: 123 Total Fees Collected: $6,441.42 SANITARIAN’S REPORT It is apparent that suitable land on which to build is becom- ing scarce throughout the Town. Consequently, requests for percolation tests have increased, many of which have been in areas which have previously failed to pass the minimum require- ments set forth in 310 CMR 15.00, The State Environmental Code, Title 5, “Minimum Requirements for the Subsurface Disposal of Sanitary Sewage.” The forementioned has also created a situation whereby more tests are being performed in the Nasketucket River Basin Water Supply. Although the regulations pertaining to the Nasketucket River Basin are more restrictive, many of these tests have passed allowing the applicant to obtain permission from other regulatory Boards to build a dwelling. Authorized repairs to existing subsurface systems are being made but almost as many unauthorized repairs have been brought to my attention. It will be most beneficial to the homeowner when more Town sewers are installed. MILTON K. DELANO 71 SANITARIAN’S REPORT The Board of Health’s laboratory proved to be a valuable asset in discovering high bacterial counts along the west shore- line of Sconticut Neck Road in June. Only through quick laboratory handling and the Board’s immediate response to those results was a potential health hazard averted. All food establishments were inspected at least three times throughout the year, and all establishments maintained at least the minimum requirements set forth by Article X of the State Sanitary Code. Two retail food establishments were opened in Town and two were closed. Under Chapter II of the State Sanitary Code there were nine requests for inspections and three requests for HUD Section 8 housing inspections. It has been a pleasure to serve the community and I look forward to another productive year of service in 1985. PATRICIA B. FOWLE ANIMAL INSPECTOR’S REPORT There were 505 animal inspections for the Board of Health, and 278 dead animals properly disposed of. Several nuisance complaints were investigated relative to the keeping of horses, and more requests for the keeping of animals in the Nasketucket River Basin have been considered. KEVIN BARAO The Board of Health would like to take this opportunity to thank all those who have assisted in any way to carry out our program. Respectfully submitted, DR. EDWARD J. MEE, Chairman DR.

The area west of Green Street, along the waterfront, and certain areas on Sconticut Neck were problem spots. Compliance with the state law that requires the owner/keeper of a dog, 3 months of age or older, to license said dog with the Town Clerk was at an all time low. It is my hope that a town by-law, which would simplify enforcement, can be enacted for 1985-86. Respectfully submitted, KEVIN BARAO Animal Control Officer 73 COMMUNITY NURSE ASSOCIATION OF FAIRHAVEN, MASSACHUSETTS, INC. The Community Nurse Association of Fairhaven, Inc. con- tinues to provide Public Health Nursing to the residents of Fairhaven through a contractual agreement. Childhood Immunization Clinics have been held throughout the year with good attendance. Three Influenza Vaccine Clinics were held in October with 612 attending. This was more than a 5% increase over last year. Walk-In Sessions held in the Banquet Room of the Town Hall, Tuesday and Friday 2:00 P.M. — 3:00 P.M., continue to be busy. Services offered include blood pressure monitoring and tuber- culosis skin testing for food handlers and other workers requir- ing the test. Geriatric Health Counseling, alternating months at Green Meadows and Oxford Terrace, continue to be offered and in- clude: monitoring of vital signs, medication check, urine testing, and nutritional and dietary teaching. Fairhaven senior citizens may attend by calling the nurses’ office for an appointment. In this my final report, I wish to thank the Board of Health and those who have assisted. It has been my pleasure to work with them. Respectfully submitted, ADA M. MACOMBER, R.N. Administrator Ada M. Macomber, R.N., Administrator Susan M. Guy, R.N., Assistant Administrator Virginia B.

There were 75 petitions heard and acted on with 46 being granted, 7 denied, 17 postponed and 5 with- drawn without prejudice. Respectfully submitted, EDWIN J. MARNIK Chairman BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS The Fairhaven Board of Public Works would like to thank all the employees in the departments for their cooperation and dedication during the past year. Special thanks and best wishes are forwarded to Mr. Lucien E. Fortin, Water Superintendent, who retired in September following 51 years of service to the Town, Entenor Perry, Highway Department, 28 years of service, Anibal Henriques, 17 years of service, Maurice Burner, Park Department who retired with 12 years of service and John Meehan, Sewer Department, 5 years of service. During 1984, Four Major Projects were either completed or started. Using a Small Cities Grant of $272,000 and $145,000 of Town Funds the Rotch Street Sewer Pumping Station was eliminated by installing a gravity sewer pipe to the South Street Pumping Station. Work on this project began in December 1983 and was com- pleted in December 1984. The General Contractor filed Bankruptcy in July and following a three-month delay, the Bonding Company hired a new contractor to finish the job. In order to install the pipeline more than 2300 cubic yards of ledge had to be removed at depths of 17-19 feet. The Town has been very fortunate in obtaining Small Cities Grants which have enabled the Town to eliminate the three old Sewer Pumping Stations on Spring Street, Bridge Street, and Rotch Street during the past two years. Residents in these areas should no longer experience sewer backups when the power fails. 77 The Reconstruction of Main Street began in September with approximately 80% of the work being completed prior to the winter shutdown. When work is completed in the spring of 1985, Main Street will have been totally reconstructed from Route 6 to Howland Road. A new drainage system has been installed which should eliminate the flooding problems in the area. All galvanized or lead water services will have been replaced with copper. Curbing has been straightened and replaced. New side- walks have been installed and all broken sidewalks repaired. When work is completed sidewalks will have been installed in all areas on both sides of Main Street from Route 6 to Howland Road. All intersections have had wheelchair ramps installed. One mile of roadway will have been reconstructed at a total cost of approxi- mately $500,000 with the majority of funding being State Chap- ter “90” money. The Board of Public Works is also pursuing State and Federal Grants for the expansion of the Sewer System into unsewered areas. Prior to extending sewer mains and handling the existing peak flows, the Treatment Plant must be expanded from 2.1 Million Gallons per day to 5.0 MGD. The Town has received a State and Federal Grant of $405,000 for designing the enlarge- ment of the Sewerage Treatment Plant, rehabilitating the exist- ing sewer system and setting up a Septic System Maintenance Pro- gram for the unsewered areas of Fairhaven. Design drawings should be completed in May or June 1985. Construction will be- gin whenever Federal Funding is available. Traffic Lights were installed at the Intersection of Bridge Street and Alden Road. This intersection has been one of the most dangerous locations in Fairhaven over the years. Special thanks to Senator William Q. MacLean who was able to obtain $50,000 from the State Legislature for these lights. The Board of Public Works has opened bids for the erection of a 1.5 Million Gallon Water Standpipe on Sconticut Neck Road on a site south of Grandview Avenue. The total project costs are estimated at $700,000 with a $356,000 State Water Rehabilitation Grant to offset part of the cost. Work should be- gin in March 1985 and be completed by September 1985. With the completion of this Standpipe the water pressure in the Sconticut Neck Area should dramatically improve. During 1984 Fairhaven did not have to purchase any drinking water from New Bedford. The new Well Field on Wolf Island in 78 Mattapoisett has performed well and has provided more than 300 Million gallons of pure water. Another Well Field has been located off Tinkham Lane in Mattapoisett. Pumping Tests have shown this site to be able to yield more water than the Wolf Island Site. The site has been purchased. The quality of water is excellent with little or no treatment being required. Hopefully, Town Meeting will appro- priate funding in 1985 to start Engineering Design Drawings. Design Drawings and Specifications have been completed for a 10” Water Main to West Island. Plans also have been com- pleted for the construction of Retention Basins in the Long Road area to eliminate flooding in the Adam Street Area. If funds are appropriated at the 1985 Annual Town Meeting these projects will begin. During 1984, sections of Francis Street, Maitland Street, New Boston Road, North Walnut Street, Marilane Place and Wilding Street were reconstructed and sections of Sconticut Neck Road, Bridge Street, Linden Avenue, Oxford Street and Alden Road were resurfaced. Many other streets in Town need to be re- paired and your continued support is required. Respectfully submitted, VICTOR OLIVEIRA, JR., Chairman MANUEL CORREIRA, Vice-Chairman PAUL E. FRANCIS, Clerk DAVID SZELIGA JOSEPH CATALDO, JR. JEFFREY W. OSUCH, Superintendent 79 HIGHWAY DIVISION During the year 1984 the Highway Department has been very busy reconstructing streets, laying drainage lines, repairing man- holes and catch basins, cold mix patching, grading dirt streets, repairing sidewalks, removing tree stumps, replacing street signs, grass and brush cutting, ditch cleaning, street sweeping and snow removal being the major parts of our work. The Street Reconstruction Program included the following streets: Maitland Street — from Main Street east 1200’ Marilane Place — from Sconticut Neck Road to John Street New Boston Road — from Bridge Street south 2000’ North Walnut Street — from Larch Avenue to Elm Avenue Wilding Street — from Main Street to Adams Street Wilding Street — from Houle Street to the end Wilding Street — from Adams Street to Houle Street to be completed in spring 1985. These streets represent approximately 5000 feet of recon- struction which includes drainage, gravel, process tone, asphalt, curbing and sidewalks. Streets receiving large patchwork and resurfacing were Bridge Street, Alden Road, Francis Street, Sconticut Neck Road and Linden Avenue. Other streets receiving reconstruction or resurfacing under water, sewer or state aid contracts are: South Street — from Main Street to Chestnut Street Rotch Street — from Center Street south to end Main Street - from Route 6 to 195 bridge Alder Street and Balsam Street from Causeway Road to the Town Beach were oiled and sanded. Maintenance of our gravel streets this year saw over 2100 tons of process gravel and stone being used. 80 Potholes remain a serious problem with many streets patched several times during the year. We have placed over 260 tons of cold mix this year. The department has placed over 1200 feet of new drain lines with catch basins and manholes on the following streets: Rotch Street, intersection of Pleasant Street and Washington Street, intersection of Francis Street and Bellevue Street, intersection of Francis Street and Pilgrim Avenue, Francis Street and Massasoit Avenue, Laurel Street and South Street, Green Street and South Street, Fort Street and South Street, Long Road, Kane Street, Pine Grove Street, Maitland Street, Wilding Street, and New Boston Road. The Sidewalk Participation Program has again worked very well and could use more money as we have had to turn away some application due to the appropriated money being used up. Vandalism is still a problem with street signs as we replaced just over 100 this year. I would like to thank the men of the Highway Department for their cooperation and for doing a fine job for the many phases of work that they must do. Respectfully submitted, JOHN B. HARRISON Superintendent 81 PARK DIVISION The Park Department has been very busy this year maintain- ing our town parks, memorials, ballfields, tennis courts, town beach parking lot and other recreational areas. Vandalism continues to be the major problem in our parks. In Cushman Park the concession stand has been broken into several times and the roofing shingles ripped off. The band shelter has had the rear wall completely torn off and the roof shingles have also been ripped off. The rest room building roof and the roof for the concession stand have had new shingles re- placed. The ball park fences have been pulled out of the ground, bent and runover, they will be repaired before next spring. On the bright side of things we purchased a new Ford tractor and mower to be used grading the ballfields and cutting the grass. I would like to thank the employees of the Park Department for doing a fine job during the year 1984. Respectfully submitted, JOHN B. HARRISON Park Superintendent SANITATION DIVISION We continue to work in the Phase II area of the landfill and will continue to do so for the years to come. The 1979 955 Loader has received major engine work and is now operating satisfactorily. We have leased a new 1984 Caterpillar 81 6B Compactor for the next five years. The machine is operating and doing a fine job. 82 We changed refuse contractors this year and the new contrac- tor has received very good reports on his operation. I would like to thank the men at the landfill site for doing a fine job during the year. Respectfully submitted, JOHN B. HARRISON Superintendent WATER DIVISION The year 1984 was one of change for the Water Division. Lucien E. Fortin, the Water Superintendent retired this year after fifty-one years of service to the community. His hard work and dedication have been responsible for the constant improvement in water quality, quantity and service provided to the Town. Everyone in the Water Department would like to take this opportunity to thank him and to wish him good luck in his retirement. We pumped 448,813,900 gallons of water from our three pumping stations. The bulk of this amount was taken from the new station at Wolf Island Road. Thirty-one new water services were added to the system bringing the total number of customer services to 5,206. Fifteen old galvanized house services and forty-six lead street services were replaced with copper tubing. The meter replacement program progressed steadily with one hundred ninety old meters being replaced. One thousand five hundred forty-two feet of water main and two new hydrants were added to the system. All the fire hydrants were checked by the Fire Department and many problems were corrected by Water Personnel. Four very old hydrants had to be replaced with new models. At least forty additional hydrants need to be replaced at a cost of $50,000. The benefits derived from the new station on Wolf Island Road were quite evident this year. The increase in the quantity of water we can now pump has enabled us to establish a flush- ing program throughout the town. This program helps to im- prove both the system and the quality of water it provides. The new facility has helped us to keep up with the increasing 83 water needs which come with the expansion and growth of the Town. I would like to thank the men and office staff of my depart- ment, their efforts and dependability are greatly appreciated. My thanks and appreciation also go out to the supervisors and personnel from the other town departments for their assistance and cooperation. Respectfully submitted, EDWARD L. FORTIN Acting Water Superintendent WATER POLLUTION CONTROL FACILITY AND COLLECTION SYSTEM I would like to express my appreciation to the employees of the Sewer Department and the Water Pollution Control Facility for their cooperation and a job well done. Mr. John Meehan of the Sewer Department retired December 31, 1984. I would like to take this opportunity to wish Mr. Meehan a happy and healthy retirement. The Treatment Facility handled a total of 870.15 million gallons of which 611.11 million gallons received secondary treat- ment and 209.04 million gallons received primary treatment. The Town of Mattapoisett contributed 40.95 million gallons from January 1, 1984 to December 31, 1984. The facility processed 341.1 tons of dry solids. 326 loads of septic waste was received for a total of 602,800 gallons. There were 62 permits issued of which 51 services were in- stalled by private contractors and 11 services were installed by the Sewer Department employees. We repaired 22 broken services and responded to 178 service calls for plugged services. 84 Our cleaning program continues with the completion of North Fairhaven from Route 195 to Acushnet with the exception of Howland Road. The south end of town from Center Street to Fort Phoenix, all of Sconticut Neck and most of East Fairhaven except for Washington Street from Gellette Road to the Naske- tucket River. Along with cleaning of sewer mains we are clean- ing drainage lines in those same areas. Emergency repairs were made to 8” and 15” sewer mains in Sycamore Street at the intersection of Howland Road. Also, 40 Ft. of 8” sewer main on Center Street at the intersection of Rotch Street, 70 Ft. of 8” sewer main was repaired on N. Walnut Street between Linden Avenue and Larch Avenue. An 8” and 12” sewer main on Maitland Street from Main Street east to house #53 was also replaced. A 8” sewer main was installed on Temple Place. A private homeowner installed a 8” sewer main on Akin Street from Washington Street north approximately 200 Ft. at his own expense. The Phoenix Restaurant received an easement from the Harpoon Lounge to build and maintain a 8” sewer on the Harpoon Lounge property for use by the Phoenix Restaurant. The controversy of a 6” sewer service on Alfred Street continues with little progress. Work on the new sewer main on Rotch and South Street was completed in early December. This was a very difficult project due to a great deal of ledge which had to be excavated. The pro- ject was also complicated in June when the project came to a standstill because the Contractor filed for Bankruptcy. In late August the Bonding Company hired two (2) contractors to com- plete the project. In late December the project was completed. There is a small punch list of items to be completed. The completion of this project eliminated the need of the Rotch Street Station and will relieve the constant backing up of sewage into neighboring homes when there were power failures or heavy rainfalls. The bricks on the wet wells at Manhattan Avenue and East Allen Street pumping stations were replaced by Spaulding Brick Company at their expense. Each of these stations sustained visible damage to the bricks caused by moisture entering the bricks and freezing during the past few winters. 85 The Acushnet River, New Bedford Inner and Outer Harbors were polluted and extreme high counts of Total Coliform Bacteria was found. After a lengthy investigation by local and state officials the Town of Fairhaven’s Water Pollution Control Facility was cleared of being the source of pollution and the City of New Bedford’s sewage system was found to be the guilty party. Whaling City Cable Television broadcasted a guided tour of our Water Pollution Control Facility in early July. The Town received a grant to design and upgrade the present Water Pollution Control Facility. At this writing the design is approximately 20% completed. The design is expected to be completed by August 1985. The Town also received Chemical Reimbursement for 50% of monies expended for odor control, sludge conditioning and disinfection. The total sum of reimbursement was $18,693.61. The reimbursement was made available by the Department of Environmental Protection Agency, Division of Water Pollution Control. Respectfully submitted, ALFRED F. RAPHAEL Supervisor and Chief Treatment Plant Operator 86 BUILDING DEPARTMENT This year brought the appointment of a new Building Com- missioner, Thomas E. Marnik, on May 29, 1984 and the resigna- tion of Timothy M. Allison. Robert Silver was appointed an Associate Plumbing and Gas Inspector. His appointment to Associate Gas Inspector was in part to cover the gas inspections while our head Gas Inspector, Harry Whiting is recovering from a heart operation. We all wish Mr. Whiting a speedy recovery. 1984 has been an extremely active year for construction in town. There has been a 73% increase in the dollar value of Residential construction and a very healthy 300% increase in Commercial construction. This has meant an outstanding 700% increase in Commercial construction in the past two years. Some of the large commercial projects that were started in 1984 were two A. T. & T. buildings, the Hathaway-Braley Ice Plant, Shaw’s Supermarket expansion, two expansions to the New Bedford Thread Plant, and two Mini Warehouse storage buildings in a seven lot industrial subdivision off Alden Road. (With the addition of the two new A. T. & T. buildings and the jobs, services and housing needs they will create, 1985 promises to be an even better year.) The Building Department would like to take this opportunity to thank the many other town departments we work with daily for the full cooperation they have extended us this past year. We would also like to thank the builders and townspeople for their cooperation in our effort to provide well-built, safe and adequate buildings in the Town of Fairhaven. The following building permits were issued during 1984: Residential Structures 19 $ 867,800.00 Commercial Structures 9 17,998,000.00 Accessory Structures 47 107,221.00 Additions & Alterations Residential 106 612,785.00 Commercial 22 927,641.00 Miscellaneous Swimming Pools 30 104,715.00 Woodstoves, Chimneys Etc. 28 17,750.00 87 Decks 15 $ 11,098.00 Signs 8 11,861.00 Other 22 94,120.00 Demolitions 7 — 313 . .

ALPHONSE ROBERT SILVER 88 CIVIL DEFENSE In an effort to serve the residents of Fairhaven better, the volunteers of the Civil Defense have attended workshops and training sessions at the Training Academy in Topsfield, Massachusetts. Besides a Basic Rescue Course and an Auxiliary Police Course, we have scheduled a Winter Rescue Course for mid- February. We have also shared our experience with the Police Department by holding an in-service demonstration and training session in late December. During the year, we have participated in various civil cere- monies by providing our specialized lighting truck and public address system. The Memorial Day Parade, football pep rallies at the high school, and the Halloween Parade held at Oxford School are just a few of the activities that we have supported. We continue to submit annual and quarterly reports to Area II headquarters in Bridgewater. Our participation in this pro- gram assures our town of federal and state reimbursements of Civil Defense expenditures. As the year progresses, the Civil Defense will continue to train its members in order that we might be better qualified to serve the residents in the town of Fairhaven. We are looking forward to a very productive year. Respectfully submitted, MACY F. JOSEPH, III, Director PLANNING BOARD 1984 produced renewed activity in development in Fairhaven. Building permits for single family homes doubled over previous years. Many commercial facilities increased their operating areas and others have signified their intention to do so. A new commercial sub-division, Lambeth Warehouse Park, on Alden Road, started construction and should be in operation in 1985. By far, the greatest impact on Fairhaven will be the new A.T. & T. complex on Mill Road and Bridge Street which started con- struction and will be completed in 1985. The Planning Board, in 1974, had backed the rezoning of the area effected. Without this condition, Fairhaven would not have been able to secure 89 the A.T.& T. facility within the time frame required. The Planning Board has again shown foresight in 1984 by backing the recent rezoning of another thirty (30) acres adjoin- ing the new facility which A.T. & T. has also acquired. Although no plans for the development of this parcel have been formulated by A.T. & T. at this time, the area is available when they do so. A great many projects are being reported as imminent for Fairhaven and the next five years should result in a large build up of taxable entities. The Board expects many site plans and other matters under its responsibility to be reviewed. Some of these will include residential properties; as much pressure seems to exist for this purpose. As commercial facilities come on stream, they could cause our long stable population to increase and our continuing drop in school enrollment to cease. It is essential that problems with the Town’s municipal sewerage system be addressed in order to handle expected build ups. Some adjacent communities have been saddled with build- ing moratoriums until similar problems are corrected. Now that Fairhaven has the development opportunities so long sought after, we hope roadblocks do not occur in our area. The Board has concerns about development in the Nasketucket River Basin and is reviewing zoning by-laws in that regard. Union Wharf development is also a continuing concern and will be kept under the Board’s surveillance. The Board has been concerned during the last two years, due to the lack of attendance by some of its members. This has re- sulted in long delays in starting meetings until a quorum could be available. In some instances, meetings had to be canceled as a quorum could not be attained. A new member, Marinus VanderPol Jr. has been elected to the Board and it is hoped that attendance will improve. The electorate should take matters of this concern into consideration when voting. The Planning Board expects to be busy with many of the matters noted in this report and it is therefore necessary that members serve accordingly. Respectfully submitted, RAYMOND FLEURENT, Chairman ANTONE MEDEIROS ALBERT BORGES, JR., Vice Chairman CHANNING W. HAYWA: ALBERT RODERIQUES, Clerk MARINUS VANDERPOL ARNOLD CORREIA JOYCE LISTER, Secret Pursuant to provisions of Section 34, Chapter 98 of the General Laws, I herewith present the report of the activities of the Sealer of Weights and Measures for the year ending December 31, 1984. The duties of the Sealer are stated in Section 41, Chapter 98 of the General Laws of Massachusetts. Section 41 states that Sealers shall annually test, seal or condemn all weighing and measuring devices used for the purpose of buying or sell- ing, goods, wares or merchandise, for hire, reward, or public weighing. A large portion of the consumers weekly salary is used to purchase commodities by weight or measure. Meat, produce, gasoline, fuel oil, and numerous other packaged, bottled and canned items, are several products daily by weight or measure. Protecting both consumer and merchant against short weight or measure in these transactions is the main concern of the Sealer. The manner in which fuel and food is distributed today, does not allow the consumer an opportunity to check the quantity of his purchases. He must out of necessity rely on good weights and measures enforcement. Attached please find an itemized report of the activities which this department completed during the year.

PRZYBYSZEWSKI Sealer of Weights and Measures COUNCIL ON AGING With deep regret in January 1985, the Council on Aging accepted the resignation of Board Member, Monica Belliveau. Mrs. Belliveau has been very involved in elderly affairs since approximately 1968. Some of the many activities Monica participated in are: Coastline Elderly Services — Board of Directors, Clerk of the Advisory Council, Chairperson of the Nutrition Project Council, Prime Organizer of initiating the Elderly Nutrition Program in Fairhaven. Mrs. Belliveau volunteered many hours to the Fairhaven Council on Aging in the office, and with services provided to the elderly. The Council will sincerely miss the dedication, enthusiasm, and kindheartedness she has shown through her work for the elderly. We wish Monica all the best for the future. The year 1984 was quite an exciting and eventful year for our Director, Doris Green. Mrs. Green was named Outstanding Public Servant of the Year by the North Fairhaven Improvement Associaation. A banquet was held in her honor at the Century House on Saturday, January 19, 1985. Most deserving of this award, Mrs. Green is to be commended for her kindness and dedication to her work with the Fairhaven elderly. As we are sure our senior citizens are aware, Mrs. Green has given much of her time to help those who have come to her seeking aid or advise. We are proud of Mrs. Green and all her achievements with the Council on Aging. The Council wishes to thank the North Fairhaven Improvement Association and all those who have made this honor possible. The elderly population is steadily increasing throughout the country as time progresses. In 1984 the senior population in 92 Fairhaven totaled 3,965, an increase of 490 from the previous year. The Council is aware of the elderly population increase, and will be preparing to offer services to all who need them. Breakdown of our senior population is as follows: Those 60 to 70 years 1,891 70 to 80 years 1,332 80 to 90 years 603 90 to 106 years 139 The Council’s Annual Report to the Department of Elder Affairs also shows an increase from last year in the services we provide to the elderly. The total number of all services rendered was 63,480. Un- duplicated individuals served totaled 2,301. Some of the services provided through the Council on Aging are: daily nutrition pro- gram, bus transportation for nutrition program and grocery shopping, daily meals on wheels deliveries, legal assistance, respite care, outreach, housing assistance, recreational activities, monthly newsletter, tax assistance, cheese and butter. Improvements to the Council building were again this year an important factor to us. We are proud of the substantial im- provements that have already been made, and received many compliments on these changes. Our sincere thanks to all those who have helped with these improvements. With a grant received from the Department of Elder Affairs, the counter top in the kitchen was replaced with formica, four- teen round tables were covered in formica, one 8 foot metal folding table was purchased along with five foot metal folding tables. With these purchases, all our equipment for serving meals is in excellent condition. Funds received from Capital Outlay were used to replace the fence on the north boundary of the building. Monies from a Department of Elder Affairs Formula Grant was used to finish the addition of the vestibule located at the front of the building. Labor was donated by the students of the Greater New Bedford Vocational School. 93 The Council was recently awarded $4,931.00 from the Depart- ment of Elder Affairs for work to be done on the exterior of the Senior Center. Also included is the updating of the lighting inside the building. The new lighting will provide a more reliable, attractive, and brighter light source. In the future we look forward to continuing improvements to the Senior Center, which will make a pleasant, comfortable atmosphere for all who drop in and the seniors who visit the building daily. Your Council on Aging invites the Fairhaven residents to stop by and visit our Senior Center located at 150 Sconticut Neck Road to see the building, and perhaps inquire about the services we offer. The Council wishes to thank all Town Departments for the help they have extended to us throughout the year.

Your Com- mission was active in many areas and, through the efforts of its members, was able to accomplish a great deal. Some of its accomplishments were as follows: 1. Completion of the Academy Building’s interior decorating program under the supervision of Mrs. Helen Radcliffe. 94 2. The playground on North Street now has a memorial identifying this area and acknowledging the gift of this land by George Taber to the Town of Fairhaven. 3. A Tourism Committee was sponsored by the Commission and approved by Town Meeting. This Committee, under the direction of Mr. Roland Seguin, will promote Fairhaven and its historical attractions. 4. The land, on which the remains of one of the oldest houses in Fairhaven is located, was donated to the Commission by the Old Dartmouth Historical Society of New Bedford. This historic landmark will be preserved. 5. The Anna B. Trowbridge Memorial Music Shell at Cushman Park will be restored to its original form in the spring of 1985. Construction will be planned that will prevent any further vandalism. 6. The Historic District Study Committee, under the co- chairmanship of Gail Isaksen, has received approval from the Massachusetts Historical Commission of the plans for establish- ing historic districts in Fairhaven. Further action will be taken in 1985. Other projects the Commission has had as well are Fort Phoenix, the Old Stone Schoolhouse, the Moby Dick Trail, and the Fire Museum. Although much has been done in 1984, the Commission looks forward to an active 1985. Respectfully submitted, LOUIS A. VEILLEUX, Chairman MEMBERS ASSOCIATES Rita E.

Caseload breakdown by period of Service: World War II 10 Korea 8 Vietnam 12 30 In addition to financial assistance, many other types of ser- vices have been granted. A new Veterans’ Outreach Center has been opened in New Bedford, geared especially to assisting Vietnam Veterans in obtaining employment or training under the Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA) or other supportive services. Veterans who served during any other period are also eligible for these services. This center is located at 181 Hillman Street, formerly the New Bedford Vocational School. As of July 1, 1984, the State increased their reimbursement to 75% of funds expended, not including salaries and operating expenses. Respectfully submitted, EVERETT J. MACOMBER, Agent ESTHER WOJCIK, Clerk 96 LIBRARIAN’S REPORT MARK TWAIN AND HENRY ROGERS Although many very important special events are included in this report, the most outstanding is the publication of the handsome paperback “Mark Twain and Henry Huttleston Rogers: an odd couple,” by Earl J. Dias, Chairman of the Library’s Board of Trustees. Mr. Dias has long wanted to complete his study of the two men and has done so in a very satisfactory work, the last of his three books on this subject. It is with a great deal of pride that the Library has placed this set on its shelves. It is also another tribute to the Rogers family for its encouragement and support of Mr. Dias’s effort to depict our benefactor and his friend as the people of Fairhaven knew them. THE JAPANESE VISITORS July twenty-second was a special day for extending a greet- ing for the first time to a delegation from Shimoda, Japan. The Annual Black Ships Festival, held annually in Shimoda, where Peary came to Japan with his fleet, to open the door between East and West, was relocated this year in Newport, Rhode Island. Government officials and interested townspeople traveled to Newport by way of Fairhaven to pay tribute to Manjiro Nakahama and to see the library’s collection of memorabilia of interest to all Japanese whose historic figure came to Fair- haven in 1843 on a whaleship and was educated in our schools. A small reception was held for the visitors. With the valuable assistance of Acushnet’s Mrs. Ayako Rooney as interpreter, the gathering proved to be very successful. GIFTS As every year, a generous public donated books, periodicals, paperbacks, records and artifacts to enhance our collection. It is impossible to list the donors of all the printed and audio materials, but their contributions are warmly received. Mr. Edward Lefkowicz presented us with a very outstanding addition — a large back issue collection of the valuable periodical “Fine Woodworking Magazine.” 97 Our Library, fast becoming an Athenaeum, received a Horn of Plenty from the Rogers summer home. This striking piece was donated by Alfred Saulnier in memory of Mary Silveira and Evelyn Saulnier. The Marjorie Wilbor Baylis Fund provided a work of a local artist, George Marshall, from Acushnet. The oil is a view of Mattapoisett woods from Route 195. Mr. Kenneth L. Gammons unwrapped a pen and ink drawing by R. Swain Gifford of his daughter, Rose Lamb Gifford, done when she was a child. Every year, our friends from the Embroiderers’ Guild of America, Sea Spray Chapter, donated some of their exquisite work. For the past two years we have had a handsome array of handmade tree ornaments, and this year a needlepoint “no smok- ing” sign was made for the Auditorium, and a needlepoint door stop makes our hall a bit more elegant. The Rogers Room now has a case with two beautifully made Japanese dolls holding an ancient musical instrument. Captain and Mrs. Richard P. Faria of New Bedford shared this display with us. Mrs. William K. Laughlin, great-granddaughter of Henry Rogers, has made another donation. Her gardening interests prompted her to landscape the grounds after the 1968 addition was completed. New memorial funds were started for Helen Bisbee, Joseph Rogers, Charlotte Nye, and Thornton M. Richards. Books have been given in their memory as well. Throughout the year the Marjorie Wilbor Baylis, the Mildred O. Tunstall, and the George Freitas funds were increased, along with gifts from the Colonial Club for departed members. Money and book requests to be used as living memorials have also been added for many former residents of Fairhaven. Count Ernesto Vitteti, a great-grandson of Henry Rogers, sent us three letters received by his grandmother, Mai Rogers Coe, from her father and her mother, Abbie Rogers. These are the only letters in our files from Mr. and Mrs. Rogers. 98 A great tribute was paid to the Library by Everett S. Allen, long-time library trustee, prominent journalist, and author of many books. Mr. Allen has donated his five original book manu- scripts: “This Quiet Place,” “Children of the Light,” “A Wind to Shake the World,” “The Black Ships,” and “Martha’s Vine- yard: an Elegy” to the Library to have and to hold. We are truly grateful. STAFF On June ninth, the Library lost a very valued employee, Helen Bisbee, Circulation Librarian for twenty years. She was born to love books and shared that love with our library patrons. Her passing is a loss to Fairhaven. Two new part-time workers have been added. Jeanne Adshead, an early retired elementary school teacher, will be in charge of the pre-school story hours, and Debra Charpentier will be our Circulation Assistant. The Library is grateful for the extra tasks that were performed so well by the staff during Mrs. Bisbee ’s illness and also during the sick leaves of the Librarian and the Custodian. To end this section on a joyous note, Mabel Hoyle Knipe, our chief researcher and head of the “Fairhaven Star Project,” was honored on June second at the dedication of the Mabel Hoyle Knipe Auditorium at The Fairhaven High School. The extensive monies needed for the restoration of the interior of the school are being rasied by the Fairhaven High School Alumni Associa- tion. Mr. Paul Peralta- Ramos, great-grandson of Mr. Rogers and President of the Library Board was one of the speakers. On April third, the Fairhaven Improvement Association hosted a testimonial dinner for the Library before a large audi- ence and the local Cable TV. During the year staff members attended professional meetings and participated in workshops and discussions. CHILDREN’S DEPARTMENT Carolyn Longworth scheduled class visits for the children from Oxford, Rogers, and East Fairhaven schools as well as groups from the Little People’s College. 99 Miss Longworth also promoted the Library in an interview on the local Cable TV. As mentioned before, Miss Adshead will be in charge of the pre-school programs. The Fairhaven Hardware Store donated numerous sample books for us in creating arts and crafts with the little people. ADULT PROGRAMS The spring and fall series in 1984 attracted sizeable audiences and were well received. The Spring Series, April through June, featured the following: Norman H. Hayes, whose slides were shown on China at two different sessions because of popular demand; Louise E. Strongman’s slides of “Boating in Yorkshire” commanded the largest audience; Peggi Medeiros from WHALE was the commentator for the film on preservation in New Bedford entitled “Not Just Anywhere.” The new film on “Beatrix Potter — a private world” was greeted by all her fans. Dr. Morris E. Rubin showed his slides “Life on a Kibbutz” in Israel, where the Rubins give of their time every year. The series ended with readings from members of the New Bedford Poetry Society. The Fall Series, October through December, opened with, always a winner, Everett S. Allen, journalist; Betty Knowles with her slides and actual paintings of Harry Neyland, a former South Dartmouth artist; Ellen Rex had beautiful slides of “Scandinavia;” Jean Campbell, slides on “Spain;” our good friend Henry T. Callan from Marion with his first showing of a new lecture “Glass Flowers of Harvard,” with slides from the Museum. Louise E. Strongman came back to show her new slides on Austria, and Selma Mohel had a much anticipated book review. The series ended with the Alec Guinness film, “The Lady killers.” The annual Christmas program is always anticipated. Dorothea Pauli reads the poem “A Child’s Christmas in Wales” and then the film is shown, with Dylan Thomas reading his poem against the black and white Christmas landscape of Wales. THE ART ROOM The monthly art exhibits by local artists caused much interest during the year. 100 In January, Jack Iddon displayed some of his fine photo- graphic work; February, Mary Ellen Seeley brought a valuable collection of her work with gems and metals; April, Frank McCoy from SMU showed some of his watercolors; June and July, Clement Daley arranged a most interesting display of fishing boats done in pen and ink; Eila Pitola featured some of her watercolors in August; the September exhibit consisted of work which won the awards for the contest winners from the Sea Spray Chapter of the Embroiderers’ Guild; Joan Friar had a first showing of her pen and ink house drawings in October; two artists, Mrs. Bonita Simmons and Joan Crocker, featured oil paintings in November; and the year ended in December with charming watercolors painted in France by Suzanne S. Under- wood. “FAIRHAVEN STAR” RESEARCH PROJECT The final phase of the “Fairhaven Star” filing system has now been completed, resulting in a research production of more than 180,000 card entries and 70 scrapbooks of easily available clippings from the “Star” and other area newspapers. This re- sult has taken seven years of close work on the part of some twenty volunteers, and makes available information on innumer- able aspects of Fairhaven ’s past and present. Patrons are becoming familiar with the potentialities of the system, and are using the microfilm facilities of the “Star,” as well as the bound volumes of the newspaper (1879-1967) to be found in special library stacks. Moreover, many topics concerning town lore and personages have been researched by the volunteer staff to satisfy requests sent by mail. This information has then been posted to out-of- town patrons who do not find it convenient to visit the library in person. Telephoned requests for research in the department have also been honored. Mabel Hoyle Knipe, director of the program, has been con- sistently tracking patron interest in the varied areas of town history, and is now drawing together pertinent material on the more popular requests. These she personally researches and is writing a series of informative essays to expedite the work of patrons. These essays are typed and inserted in the “Blue Book” clipping volumes. A few of the subjects covered are: 101 The old-time Fairhaven School Tramps and peddlers in old Fairhaven Fairhaven and the moving picture History of the Fairhaven High School Alumni Association The islands in the Acushnet River When called upon, the “Star” research team has also been pleased to serve the “Advocate,” town newspaper. Employees of the latter vehicle have used the “Star” files extensively; and recently, a simple filing system or “morgue” has been initiated by the “Star” research team, covering the five years of the “Advocate’s” existence and opening its resources also to re- searchers of a more modern day. The “Star” volunteer staff, during 1984, has consisted of Mabel Knipe, Dorothea Pauli, Thelma Finan, Ernestine Locke, and Alda Hayward. Hours for research are Monday through Thursday, 9 A.M. — 12 noon. THE BOOKMOBILE Our Millicent Library Bookmobile continues to function well, and this past year has been especially good as far as its physical condition is concerned. It is gratifying to be able to say that in its twenty-ninth year, we are able to continue our regular sched- ule. The van continues to visit Bradford- Russell Home, Green Meadows, and Dana Court Housing developments for the elderly on a weekly basis. We pay bi-weekly visits to St. Joseph’s School and enjoy the children who seem to value our time with them. Summer visitors to our town continue to make good use of our facilities and as always, we look forward to their return each year. Mrs. Philip Young’s daughter, Mrs. Harris, donates money yearly for us to buy special books and records that we could not otherwise supply to our patrons. Perhaps the single most important change this year is our use of large print books. We now carry a shelf full and our patrons 102 have discovered how valuable they are to them. It has been a pleasure to be the Bookmobile Librarian since the vehicle was put into operation, and we look forward to yet another interesting year. LIBRARY USE The following groups make use of our facilities yearly, and we welcome their visits: the Fairhaven Historical Society Board, the Fairhaven Historical Commission, Sea Spray Chap- ter of the Embroiderers’ Guild, Bradford- Russell Board, High School Restoration Committee, Tucker Anthony Seminar (one time only), Fairhaven Public Schools Kindergarten testing; Fairhaven Historical Society meetings, Rogers School Anniver- sary Committee (1984 only); Value Line; Fairhaven Community Nursing Association Board; Fairhaven High School Reunion Committee; Friendly Visitors from the YWCA; DAR; Children’s Seminar conducted by the Eastern Regional Library System; Eta Chapter, EKG; Flu Clinic; Council of Women’s Clubs; College Club; Village Green Library Club; Riverside Cemetary Board; Reception for Ada Macomber on her retirement as the Director of the Nursing Association. Our audio-visual equipment is in great demand for use outside the building. 1,895 books were added and 641 were discarded, leaving a total of 87,158 in our collection. 1,929 items were cataloged. 75,797 books were circulated; 1,640 borrowers were regis- tered, making a total of 4,446 Fairhaven residents library users. Respectfully submitted, RITA E. STEELE Librarian 103 PERSONNEL BOARD In the many years of operation and administration of the Per- sonnel Board, it has concerned itself with some serious issues: administration and revision of the By-Laws, planning for anticipa- tion of the collective bargaining process, and compensation and classification of the non-union employees of the town. Although there have been drastic changes over the last few years, some important issues have arisen over the past year call- ing for still further changes and amendments to our by-laws. We, the members of the Personnel Board, have attempted to deal with all of the issues we have faced with an eye toward fairness to all. We wish to express our gratitude to all those who have worked so closely with us on these issues. The cooperation and help we received were instrumental in making so many positive steps possible. We hope that our efforts have resulted in better working con- ditions and happier relationships for all Town employees, for we believe that when an employee is happy, he or she gives back to the Town much more than he or she receives. To all Town Meeting members, other boards, department heads, the Town Clerk and Treasurer, and all the employees who were so patient and understanding, we say thank you. Through cooperation and consultation, the Personnel Board will continue to concern itself with fair treatment toward the Town’s employees while remaining cognizant to the tax burdens we all must bear. We look forward to a productive new year. Respectfully submitted, DAVID SYKES, Chairman BRAD PAIVA PETER F. STAITI NORRIS WALECKA, JR. MARTIN HIGGINS III JOYCE CABRAL, Board Secretary 104 RECREATION COMMISSION The Fairhaven Recreation Commission has continued to pro- vide town residents, both young and adult, with numerous, varied and worthwhile programs that are aimed at giving the residents an opportunity to enjoy themselves in a healthful man- ner. The Commission is proud to report to its town that their strong attendance has been encouraging and that through their continued attendance it is obvious that the programs have been meaningful and that the Commission has been successful in its endeavors. The summer programs at the junior high school’s Entin Gym- nasium consisted of varied activities including but not limited to basketball, volleyball, weight training, ping pong, badminton, tumbling, field and floor hockey, wiffle ball, and track and field events for the town’s youth. In addition, the Commission sponsored its “park” program at the junior high school with in- struction in arts and crafts and other creative activities. Livesey Park was the second site for park activities with arts and crafts and creative activities available and balls for use on the available courts and play areas. In addition, in the summer of 1984 the Commission initiated a program in Track and Field instruction at the FHS Stadium Track utilizing the FHS track coaches and athletes and various town volunteers to instruct young people from pre-school through high school age in track activities including the hurdles, high jump, long jump, shot put, and various running events. At the conclusion of a nine-week program a track meet was held in which almost 100 young people participated. Ribbons were awarded to all. The winter programs were highlighted by the Saturday morn- ing activities at the Entin Gym. In 1984-85 both girls and boys participated in the programs at the single site. In addition adult activities were sponsored in the evenings at both the junior and senior high school facilities. During the February vacation figure skating was offered to the residents at the nearby Hetland rink. The Commission also continued to help in the coordination and operation of the town youth basketball league for both boys and girls. Volunteer coaches and local sponsors have helped to make this program, now in its third year, a huge success. 105 The Commission wishes to thank those who have given so freely of themselves for our youth. Your Commission has taken other projects under advisement and will announce throughout the year all programs as they be- come available. We thank all who have supported the programs as participants, volunteers, and instructors and wish to express our gratitude to school department personnel for their continued cooperation, but, most importantly, we wish to thank the people of the Town of Fairhaven for their support of our endeavors and their astute understanding of the need for recreation in our community.

WESTGATE JANICE BENOIT, Board Secretary SOUTHEASTERN REGIONAL PLANNING AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT During 1984 the Town of Fairhaven continued its membership for the fifteenth year in the Southeastern Regional Planning and Economic Development District. SRPEDD is a planning and economic development agency formed under state law to serve twenty-eight communities in southeastern Massachusetts by pro- viding a cooperative approach to regional issues. The District is governed by a Commission consisting of a chief elected official or designee and a planning board representative from each participating municipality and six low-income and minority representatives. Fairhaven ’s representatives from the Board of Selectmen and Planning Board respectively, are Kenneth R. Vining and Raymond Fleurent, who serves on the Executive Committee. 106 In addition to regional planning and economic development, SRPEDD assists member cities and towns. Through the free municipal assistance program, each community receives time for local projects and assistance in preparing applications for federal and state funds. The agency’s purpose is to plan for regional land use, economic development, housing, transit, transportation, solid waste, energy resources and conservation, and air and water quality. Local participation in these regional plans enables communities to be eligible for federal and state dollars. Services to Fairhaven this past year include: • CDBG Administration Assistance • Professional/Technical Services Regional plans and other activities conducted this year benefit- ing all communities included: • Approval of over $60 million in regional grant applications to federal and state agencies and of over $196 million in Industrial Revenue Bonds which will create approximately 1,700 new jobs in the region. • Environmental assessment reviews of state and federally funded projects, and reviews of all local zoning amend- ments. The reviews are advisory and are oriented toward making proposals more cost-effective and feasible. • The annual update of the Overall Economic Development (OEDP) which makes member communities eligible for U.S. Economic Development Administration funding and a 10 percent bonus for public facility projects. • The annual update of the Transportation Improvements Program (TIP) which lists major projects in each com- munity for federal and state funding. A project must be included on the TIP in order to be eligible for these funds. • Conducting a community education effort on the safe handling of industrial hazardous wastes under a contract with Southeastern Massachusetts University. 107 • SEED, South Eastern Economic Development Corporation, established and staffed by SRPEDD, provides low-interest, long-term financing to small businesses in southeastern Massachusetts through the U.S. Small Business Administra- tion’s “503” Program and a newly established $1 million revolving loan fund. In 1984 SEED assisted three businesses which resulted in total investments of over $1.7 million and created 96 jobs. SRPEDD represents the collective will of its member com- munites. As the responsibilities and problems of muncipalities become increasingly complex, the District can provide technical assistance to local boards, encourage cooperation among com- munities, and provide a comprehensive approach to issues that cross local boundaries. Respectfully submitted, RAYMOND FLEURENT KENNETH R. VINING Delegates SHELLFISH DEPARTMENT 1984 was again a good year for the taking of shellfish. Soft shell clams are still on the upswing, with seed showing in areas where they have not been seen in years. Oyster taking was down this year compared to last. Hope- fully this trend will not continue. The department is proud to say that in 1984 a record amount of quahogs were planted. I would like to thank my duputies and several commercial fishermen who worked long and hard with little or no pay to help me achieve this goal. The license and permit list is as follows: Dredging (Skipper and Boat) 6 @$100 $ 600 Dredging (Crew Members) 9 @$30 270 108 Commercial Quahog 78 @ $ 50 = $3,900 Commercial Scallop 16 @ 25 = 400 Non-Resident 13 @ 50 = 650 Extended Permits 49 @ 25 = 1,225 Permits 692 @ 5 = 3,460 Over 70 115 FREE Respectfully submitted JOSEPH F. PAULINE Shellfish Constable TOWN PLANNER The Town Planner’s report for 1983 listed several prospective developments that were possible for the year 1984. Happily, most of these occurred, led by the A.T.T. expansion on Bridge Street and Mill Road. During the year, many expansions occurred including more dwelling units than usual. A.T.T. completed its expansion of its Data Processing facility including that of an additional ser- vice building. Its new facility south of Bridge Street is also well under way. It is also expected that a new project will be under way in 1985 to encompass the remaining acreage acquired by the company. Hathaway Braley started an ice making plant on their wharf, Nye Oil-New Bedford Thread added several additions. Shaw’s Market also expanded their facility. Lambeth Associates, located a commercial sub-division on Alden Road and another is contemplated south of Bridge Street. Adams Drug is now located in the building at the intersection of Huttleston Avenue and Washington Street and intend to expand the use of the wrap-around property. Executive Coffee, Medeiros Bus, Huttleston House, Berdon Plaza and others are talking expansion. Papa Gino’s and others are seeking locations and expect to do so within the year. Also several apartment complexes are being considered and may come on stream in the future. Taking all things under con- sideration, Fairhaven should experience a continued building 109 boom for the next five years. All of these development aspects should draw additional facilities into the area, especially those having a relationship with the A.T.T. operation. Tax-wise this should help the Town and its economic condition to a considerable extent. With the advantages also come responsibilities. Additional infrastuct- ural needs must be provided and serviced. Your Town Planner visualizes a development corridor from the A.T.T. complex at Bridge Street and Mill Road, down Alden Road, through the Berdon and Fairhaven Plazas to Drown Boulevard, with Drown Boulevard extended to Pleasant and South Streets and to the waterfront. New sewer lines would extend from Bridge Street, down Alden Road to the extension of Drown Boulevard to the new tie-in provided by the elimination of the Rotch Street sewer pumping station. In the process, it would provide the necessary utilities on Alden Road, from Bridge Street to Drown Boulevard, therefore opening up that area of Alden Road to development. At the same time, it would relieve the overloaded conditions of the Bridge Street and Washington Street sewer interceptor lines. In addition, the Elizabeth Street area could be tied into the proposed Drown Boulevard interceptor, a gravity flow line. The Egypt Lane area would be tied in also, relieving the sewer problems existing in Bryant Lane and adjacent areas. Drown Boulevard would provide easy access to Sconticut Neck Road. Tripp, Summer and Hitch Streets are to be extended to Drown Boulevard thus eliminating dead end problems. It is felt that this would open up the Atlas Tack facility for eventual redevelopment whenever the current pollution prob- lem of that facility is eliminated. During 1984, the Rotch Street sewer pumping station was eliminated and replaced with a gravity line to the South Street pumping facility, largely completed with Federal funding. Stubs were left in place for the eventual tie-in to a proposed line on Drown Boulevard which, when activated, will serve to solve other sewerage problems. It is fast becoming an absolute necessity that 110 the sewerage treatment plant be expanded. We are now way over design capacity and the situation must be relieved if we are to ser- vice contemplated expansions. Fairhaven’s long awaited Commercial Area Revitalization Dis- trict (CARD) has finally been given full approval. This area to be designated as CROW, the Center for Rehabilitation of Our Waterfront, extends southward from the Skipper to Hathaway Braley Wharf and inland on a staggered line along Middle and Main Streets. Commercial entities are now entitled to apply for low cost loans within the framework of the regulations for this type of activity. It is the intention of the Town Planner to secure funds for a feasibility check of the area for housing rehabilitation, to be followed by an application for Community Development funds for the purpose of supplying grants and low cost loans on a re- volving basis for this purpose. Fairhaven Marine, Acushnet Safe Boating and Kelley’s all have plans and desires to extend their areas for more productive use but are currently hampered by lack of permits for the purpose. Hopefully, these will be resolved shortly. Fairhaven’s Alden Road area, just north of Route 6 and ex- tending to the A.T.T. complex on Bridge Street and Mill Road is a prime section for development. Its high visability and major highway proximity will see this accomplished in the near future. All types of housing will be needed and we can expect this to be on-going along with the expected commercial development. It is also expected that Fairhaven’s long stabilized population will increase as people are drawn into the area to service the commercial and business facilities. It is expected that all of Fairhaven’s area, now zoned for the purpose, will be absorbed by development within the next five years which could then put much pressure on marginal areas for housing and other developments. Respectfully submitted, NICHOLAS F. TANGNEY Town Planner 111 FAIRHAVEN HOUSING AUTHORITY The current Board of Commissioners of the Fairhaven Hous- ing Authority are: Chairman Robert R. Norris Term Expires 1987 25 Garrison Street Vice Chairman Walter J. Borowicz Term Expires 1985 4 Coggeshall Street Treasurer John E. Keary Term Expires 1988 12 John Street Assistant Treasurer Hazel Kidd Term Expires 1989 64 Howland Road State Appointee Arnold Correia Term Expires 1985 22 Hedge Street The Fairhaven Housing Authority holds its regular meeting on the second Thursday of the month. The annual meeting of the Board is held on the second Thursday in May. At that time the election of officers for the coming year is held. Presently, the Fairhaven Housing Authority is administering 255 units of Elderly and Handicapped Housing. The develop- ments are: 667-1 Green Meadows 40 Units Completed in 1966 667-C Green Meadows 52 Units Completed in 1971 (addition) 667-3 Oxford Terrace 108 Units Completed in 1976 667-4 Dana Court 55 Units Completed in 1982 These developments are financed by a grant issued from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, which exercises general supervision over the Authority through the Executive Office of Communities and Development. On November 9, 1984, the Authority filed an application for additional housing, thirty (30) units of 667 Elderly and Handi- capped, and eight (8) units of 705 Scattered Family. The rehabili- tation of the Anthony School would accommodate the 667 Elderly and Handicapped Housing, and scattered land sites, thru- out the Town, would provide the 705 Scattered Family Housing. 112 During the past year there has been a turn over of fourteen (14) apartments. There were seven (7) deaths, three (3) went into nursing homes, one (1) transfer, and three (3) people went to live with relatives. The community rooms of these developments are being fully utilized by many Senior Groups. At Green Meadows the follow- ing groups and organizations use our facilities for meetings or functions: Coastline Elderly Services, Inc. Fairhaven Community Nurse A. A. R. P. Muscular Dystrophy Group of the Local Area Green Meadows Activity Club East Fairhaven Seniors Green Meadows Seniors Girl Scouts At Oxford Terrace the following activities, meetings, or services are held by these organizations: Line Dancing Fairhaven Seniors Oxford Seniors Fairhaven Golden Agers Fairhaven Community Nurse Friends of Fairhaven Elderly Beano Parties — Are held every Monday afternoon and Friday Evening. Exercise Classes — Monday and Wednesday from 9:00 A.M. to 10:00 A.M. On April 27, 1983, an architectual contract was signed with Mace, Inc. of Norwell, Massachusetts to correct prior construc- tion problems inherited by the Authority when Project 667-3, Oxford Terrace was being built. These corrections will be done through the Modernization Program with funds from our Opera- ting Reserve Account. Problems that exist and are to be corrected are: 1. Remove roof gravel from entire perimeter of the roofs. 2. Copper Scuppers have to be replaced. 3. Replace facial boards at all links and flash to prevent leaks. 4. Repair eave ends of Building B to prevent leaks. 113 ! Advertisement for Bids have been published on Friday, January 11, 1985 and Friday, January 18, 1985. Hopefully, by April of 1985 repairs will begin. The Fairhaven Housing Authority is locally managed by Stanley A. Wojcik, Executive Director and Urania M. Oliveira, Administrative Assistant. Respectfully submitted, STANLEY A. WOJCIK Executive Director TREE DEPARTMENT Removing and replacing trees became an important part of our daily routine in the Tree Department in 1984. The Depart- ment of Public Works had projects in the New Boston Road, Main Street, Fort and Church Street and Anthony School areas which required the removal of thirteen trees. Because of the type of work planned in most of those areas it was impossible to replace these trees as the growing area for a tree was eliminated. Twenty-six other trees were removed around town for a variety of reasons amongst them being the obstruction of tree roots in the sewage system of many older homes. Unfortunately the planting of these trees and the placement of original sewage pipes were aligned rather than staggered. To replace such a tree would only repeat this situation in the future. Wherever possible new trees replaced removed ones. In other areas of town new trees were rooted for a total of seventeen new arbores. This small number is reflective of the $500 now allocated to our depart- ment for trees as opposed to the $1,750 in the 1974-75 budget. Preventative medicine was the prescription for the remainder of our beautiful foliage. Pruning, spraying for disease and in- sects, straightening and general maintenance were carried out with T.L.C. There is little more beautiful than a tree in spring showing its new green leaves — more soothing than the shade of a tree in the heat of a summer day — or more breath-taking than the magnificent color of a tree on an autumn afternoon. We hope our continued efforts can maintain such sights for us all to enjoy Respectfully submitted, OMER BLANCHETTE, Tree Warden 114 POLICE DEPARTMENT The year 1984 has been a very trying year for the Fairhaven Police Department with the work load growing by leaps and bounds. The uniformed branch answered a total of nine thous- and ninety-nine (9,099) complaints for the year. They investi- gated seven hundred forty-one (741) accidents which included two hundred twenty-six (226) injuries and one (1) fatal. With the assistance of our State Senator, William Q. Mac Lean, the Town of Fairhaven received $50,000.00 from the State for the installation of traffic lights at the intersection of Alden Road and Bridge Street. This site has been the scene of many accidents and injuries. The Detective Division investigated two hundred ninety- three (293) cases resulting in one hundred sixteen (116) arrests. The case load in this division is overwhelming, mainly because of the great increase of cases referred to this unit, plus the fact that the Division is operating short handed. In the up-coming year, I hope to add another officer to this unit. In doing so, I hope this will relieve some of the work load. The Highway-Safety Division is now under the direction of Officer Ralph Tate and provides a very important service to our community. This unit deals mainly with our children and schools in providing safety programs for our students. Officer Tate has spent countless hours visiting the classrooms and in- structing the children in the many safety programs such as bus evacuation, riding your bicycles, walking to and from school, etc. The Emergency Medical Service Unit has met with great success this year, under the direcoion of Officer Macy Joseph III. This unit responded to six hundred eighty (680) calls requiring medical assistance. Officer Joseph has trained 104 citizens in C.P.R. as well as providing the refresher courses for the Police Department personnel. In the up-coming year I will ask for your assistance in the purchasing of a new ambulance at the Annual Town Meeting. Our current ambulance is a 1977 model and has experienced many mechanical problems plus it has been in several accidents over the years. I am beginning to have some doubts as to its dependability as a front line emergency vehicle. This piece of equipment is very vital to our community in pro- viding our resident with the first-class service they have learned to rely on in the past. 115 During the year 1984, there has been a number of personnel changes in the Police Department due to retirement and one (1) resignation. Officers Joseph Costa and Armand Becotte retired, with Sgt. Edward Silva leaving for private industry. All three officers were a credit to the Town and will be sorely missed. In August of this year, Sgt. Donald Joseph was promoted to Lieutenant, the first such position in the history of the Depart- ment. Lt. Joseph is the second in command of the Police De- partment and heads the Detective Division. In closing I would like to thank the members of the Fairhaven Police Department, the Police Departments of the surrounding communities, The Massachusetts State Police, the Office of the District Attorney, the Honorable Board of Selectmen, all the other Town Boards and their employees for their continued co- operation and assistance in helping us to accomplish our goals. Particular gratitude must be made to the citizens of the Town of Fairhaven for their continued support throughout the year. On behalf of my officers and myself we are all very grateful. Respectfully submitted, PETER F. BARCELLOS Chief of Police FIRE DEPARTMENT The year 1984 proved to be a most interesting year for the Fairhaven Fire Department. Following the retirement of Chief Arthur Paquette, a permanent Civil Service Chief was finally appointed to fill that vacancy. A special thanks is in order to Richard H. Carpenter who served in that capacity until the per- manent appointment was made. Since our last report, Robert Lincoln has been appointed to the permanent force to fill the vacancy created by the retiring Chief. In addition our new Ranger pumping engine arrived and is a welcomed addition to the department, replacing a 1956 vintage pumper. Also through the generosity of the town meeting members a new 1985 Ford Station Wagon was purchased for use by the Fire Chief. It re- places a 1977 Ford Wagon that has since been placed into service for inspections and other similar uses thereby restricting the use of larger vehicles used previously. 116 On a sadder note, the department mourned the passing of long time Call Firefighter and Assistant Chief Lindsey Gifford. Mr. Gifford dedicated nearly fifty years to the town and department. The department at present is vigorously implementing and en- forcing a strong smoke detector program as mandated by the town meeting two years ago. Starting on January 1, 1984 and running through December 31, 1984, the Fairhaven Fire Department responded to a total of 504 calls. Included in this figure is 352 still alarms and 152 box alarms. The following breakdown is offered: Total Runs 504 Still Alarms 352 Box Alarms 152 Total Runs 504 Legitimate Calls/Alarms 398 False Alarms 106 Total 504 Box Alarm Breakdown: Flagrant False Alarms 51 Accidental Alarms 10 Lighting Strikes 1 System Malfunctions (Fire Alarms) 35 Water Surges 5 False Telephone Calls (Reporting Fires) 4 106 Legitimate Box Alarms 46 Total Box Alarms 152 False Alarm responses to Master Box locations owing to lack of maintenance or other factors: Skipper Motor Inn/Restaurant 19 Bowler Van Storage Warehouse 5 Dana Court Housing for the Elderly 5 Fairhaven Village Housing for the Elderly 5 Oxford Terrace Housing for the Elderly 3 K-Mart Shopping Center 1 Anthony School 1 Town Yard (Board of Public Works Building) ... 1 Total 40 117 Total Still/Box Alarm Breakdown: (Legitimate) Investigation Calls (No Fires) 49 Structural Fires (includes all interior type fires) 49 Brush and/or Grass Fires 48 Auto Fires 37 Washdowns (Oil/Gasoline Etc.) 29 Illegal Burning 21 Miscellaneous Incidents 18 Electrical Fires 16 Sub Total 267 Chimney Fires 15 Auto Accidents 14 Boating Incidents 9 Trash Fires (Dumpsters, Etc.) 8 Oil Burner Incidents 9 Broken/Frozen Water Pipe Incidents 8 Clothes Dryer Fires 4 Drownings/ Search and/or Recovery 3 Mutual Aid (Assist other communities) 3 Pumping Details 10 Ice Rescues 1 Attempted Arson of Building 1^ Total 352 In addition to alarm responses, the Fire Department provided a number of Services such as those listed below: School Inspections 14 School Quarterly Drills 28 Nursing Home Inspections 16 Hurricane Dike Inspections 2 Oil Truck (Delivery) Inspections 2 In-Service Demonstrations ; 2 Fire Permit Site Inspections 30 Plug Out Fire Alarm Boxes 19 Assist Police Department (Lock-outs) 15 Replacement of Halyards (Public Buildings) 2 Cleaning of Gutters (Town Hall/Library) ... 2 Assist Animal Control Officer (Cats in Trees) 2 Assist B.P.W.

In closing The Board of Fire Engineers would like to take this opportunity to thank all of the members of the department for their dedication to duty in the past year. In addition, we would also like to thank all of the other town departments for their cooperation and assistance throughout the past year. Respectfully submitted, CHIEF DONALD R. BERNARD for the Board of Fire Engineers ROBERT W. FOSTER, Chairman WALTER SILVEIRA EVERETT J. MACOMBER, JR. 119 FIRE ALARM The Fire Alarm Department is happy to report a generally quiet as well as progressive year. Much of the credit is due to the wire replacement program which concluded two years ago. Our system was able to weather several storms and gales with- out incident. However, the steadfast maintenance and expan- sion programs continue in an on going manner. Since our last report, we have implemented and upgraded our system to a fast time program. This method allows generally a quicker response to alarms by apparatus and men as well. We are currently completing a program of testing and overhauling of each fire alarm box. In addition, at least six new master boxes have been installed at various locations which are a result of the acceptance by the Town Meeting members of Massachusetts General Law 148; Section 26 C regarding smoke and heat detectors in certain apartment houses containing six or more units. Also as the busi- ness community continues to expand, there is need for more master boxes to be placed on our system such as the construc- tion of the A.T. & T. building. We are also replacing many of the old fire alarm box drop wires throughout the town and at the same time we will repaint the boxes and relabel the poles as well. As an added reminder, the present maintenance cost of our radio pagers or “beepers” which is the life line to our firefighters continues to spiral causing an increase in cost to our radio maintenance program. In summary, our present fire alarm system is functioning well and is operating according to standards. Respectfully submitted, BOARD OF FIRE ENGINEERS STANDISH SMITH ROBERT W. FOSTER, Superintendent of Fire Alarm Chairman DONALD R. BERNARD WALTER SILVERIA SR. Chiefc of Department EVERETT J. MACOMBER, JR. 120 FAIRHAVEN CONSERVATION COMMISSION The Fairhaven Conservation Commission has been deluged this year with applications, mostly for shore-front property in the Sconticut Neck and West Island area. We have also had many wetland violations keeping all our Commissioners very busy. Most of the complaints have been successfully processed without the need of court action, however, some still linger and continue to be a source of trouble. We have had a long standing violation situated in the Naske- tucket River Basin which, after much legal entanglement, has finally been concluded. This was the first such case that dealt mostly with serious wetland destruction and strong protective measures were necessary to obtain compliance. The Commission has also had to deal with the loss of assist- ance from full time town employees and has had to shoulder much additional work on to the part time secretary. However, by all indications it now looks as if we have regained control of the situation except for the fact that our annual budget will be seriously depleted and may require some assistance from the Finance Committee.

The statistical information contained herein refers to the 1984 fiscal year and the 1983-1984 school year. The narrative information spans the calendar year of 1984, since this report is written in the month of January, preparatory to the 1985 Town Meeting. INTRODUCTION For the seventh year, we are engaged in fiscal and program- matic retrenchment in order to operate our schools with a smaller and smaller percentage of the available monies, while at the same time coping with the increased costs of salaries. We have recently concluded a two-year bargaining pact with the major professional units represented by the Fairhaven Educators’ Association, an affiliate of the Massachusetts Teachers’ Association. These agreements provide for a five per- cent (5%) increase in 1984-85 and a six percent (6%) increase in 1985-86. Other school department units were held to one- year agreements. During the past year, many major renovation and improve- ment projects have been completed. At the Senior High School, the Knipe Auditorium has been completely refurbished with the assistance of the Fairhaven Alumni Association and the Massachusetts Historical Commission, which allowed us to com- plete a project of renovation which has restored most of the original beauty of this unique facility. The response and the support for the renovation of the High School has been due entirely to the efforts of the Alumni Association, the Rogers Family Trust Fund and a Massachusetts Historical Commission grant. The renovation of the roofs in both sections of the Rogers School, the east section of the Wood School and the remaining north wing of the Hastings Junior High School were com- pleted during the spring and summer of 1984. Each of the ten (10) oil burners in the various school build- ings were replaced with the new anti-pollution, atomizing 128 burners now required. This increases the efficiency with which the oil is burned and allows the maximum amount of heat in terms of BTU’s per gallon to be derived from the oil purchased. This, together with the installation a year ago of the automated temperature and boiler room controls, should make our heating system as efficient as possible. However, we have noted a vastly increased cost of electricity, which was not anticipated. This is caused by the necessity for pre-heating the oil to a temperature of over two hundred (200) degrees in order to atomize the heavier oil so that it may be burned with new efficient burners. Cost studies are currently underway to determine whether or not it might be more effective, from a financial point of view, to burn a #2 or #3 heating oil which is lighter and therefore could be atomized at a much lower temperature. NATIONAL AND STATE IMPERATIVES As noted in our report of last year, the national study on school effectiveness, published by the National Commission on Excellence in Education and followed by at least fourteen (14) other similar reports on various other factors in education, has caused a great deal of examination, both internally and exter- nally, ranging from a study of testing scores, up to and including high school graduation requirements. These national, as well as some state studies, have produced claims that many Massachu- setts youth were ill-prepared upon graduation to function adequately at the college level or in the work force. Many recom- mendations made to local, state and national school officials, as well as legislative imperatives, were debated throughout the en- tire year. The Massachusetts legislative plan which was promulgated by the legislative Commission on Education, coupled with a plan by the Governor, was debated in the Legislature under the head- ing of House Bill 5704. In the closing days of the Legislature it was passed to be engrossed by the House of Representatives under the heading of House Bill 6300. However, it was never considered in the Senate. Inasmuch as the legislature failed in the past session to pass any meaningful form of educational reform, I am certain this matter will be debated again in the coming legislative year. In the meantime, local initiatives within the various schools, as well as those initiated by the Administration and School Committee, are ongoing for the purpose of updating our offer- ings and educational services for the children of our community. 129 In response to the requirements of the Massachusetts Depart- ment of Education, our Basic Skills testing, using the California Achievement Test battery in Grades 2 through 6, indicated that Fairhaven students had an average total battery score ranging from a low of 61.9 percentile to a high of 73.4 percentile of the national sampling. At the secondary level (Grades 7-12), out of 204 students evaluated on the eighth grade level, only 32 students did not meet minimum standards in at least one of the areas tested. The SAT, or College Board, scores have increased slightly for the second year in a row in Fairhaven. This is parallel to the slight increase in Massachusetts as well as in the nation as a whole. We are encouraged with such improvement, but are not satisfied that our students are doing as well as we would like to have them do. It should be noted, however, that many of the students taking the SAT, have not been enrolled in college level preparatory courses. The scores of such students were, in a significant majority of the cases, not sufficiently high to enable them to be accepted in a four-year, degree-granting institution. SCHOOL PROGRAMS The High School has received notification of the acceptance of their two-year report on accreditation and have been notified by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges of their continued accreditation in the Association. The High School has aligned and departmentalized the classes within the High School facility so that teachers in each of the departments are physically located adjacent to each other in their respective areas of the building. The library facilities have been rearranged to better meet the students’ needs. Provision has been made for the institution of a computer science program with the addition of twenty-seven (27) new computers, which are currently in use during 100% of the class day, as well as be- fore and after the school sessions. The master schedule at the High School has been rearranged and realigned to accommodate the use of outstanding part-time personnel in physics, chemistry and languages. In addition, an eighth period has been added to the school day so that students may increase the number and depth of their classes in order to better enable them to meet today’s entrance standards at the college level. 130 A great deal of effort is currently underway to prepare for a new organization at the Junior High School level which will allow the institution of a middle school (Grades 6-8) at the Elizabeth I. Hastings Junior High School and a four-year organi- zation at the Senior High School. The philosophical approach to the proposed middle school will be to provide the incoming sixth grade with a program which will ease the transition from an elementary school and yet provide the eighth grade with a program which will help them to adjust to a more structured setting at the High School. The middle school program being planned will offer a program that builds on the elementary and links with the secondary school, maintaining the best qualities of each. It is hoped that the new program will be a student- centered program with emphasis more on student development than on content. It is intended that this program provide an en- vironment where the student and not the program is the most important factor. During the past year, special education services were provided to students in the Town with programs that varied little from the previous year. Some reorganization of programs had occur- red as the system moved from six to four elementary schools. These programs remained in place with very little change during the past year. Special Needs programs also provided speech therapy and school adjustment counselling services to all students who required them. Guidance and psychological services also were included as part of the Special Needs services activity. Students at the secondary level continued to receive services from resource room activities, pre-vocational training programs at the Southeastern Massachusetts Educational Collaborative and from various social and service agencies in the area. It is anticipated that minor adjustments in Special Needs services will need to be made at the secondary level, if the School Commit- tee develops a planned middle school program at the Hastings Junior High School. There may be a need for one additional re- source room teacher, if these plans are finalized, because only one Special Needs teacher is currently providing services at Fairhaven High School. A total of 380 students were served by the Special Needs de- partment during the past year. This number compares with 418 students, who were seen by department personnel in the 1982-83 school year. While there are indications of some fluc- tuations between the enrollments of the past few years, there is 131 a tendency for the populations to remain within rather narrow limits. We anticipate enrollments to remain relatively stable in the near future. The current programs available in the Town are able to provide most necessary services required by Special Needs students. In selected cases there is the need to provide programs for students who require more services than those that are offered within the local schools. Whenever possible, the Special Needs Department has opted to develop programs in conjunction with the Southeastern Massachusetts Educational Collaborative (SMEC), which does provide programs for low-incidence types of Special Needs prob- lems which may require attention. The Collaborative has a behavior management program com- ponent which offers services to older elementary students, who do require a structured remedial and therapeutic support en- vironment. Five students were enrolled in the program during the past year. The highly successful pre-school program has also continued to serve Fairhaven students. Thirteen (13) children were in the program last year. There is also a career education exploration component offered through SMEC at the Burt School in Acushnet, which offers students the chance to explore selected vocational activities in woodworking, marine industries, small engines and graphic arts. Most of these students also attend classes at the Hastings Junior High School and Fairhaven High School. The Collaborative options do enable the Special Needs Department to develop program services that can meet a number of demands that need to be met for selected students. While day and residential placements are considered as alterna- tive options for students, attempts are made by the Special Needs Department to provide as many services as possible within the framework of the local school system. Each child is entitled to a “free and appropriate education” and steps are being taken to meet this objective. The Town also benefits from the continuing funds allocated for Special Education supplementary services under Public Law 94-142 and Public Law 89-313. During 1983-84 the Special Needs Department received $80,300.00 in P.L. 94-142 funds and $5,000.00 from the P.L. 89-313 allocation. These funds provided assistance in the following ways: the provision of a full-time 132 psychologist in conjunction with the Acushnet Public Schools; the provision of a resource room teacher for the Hastings Junior High School; two (2) aides to resource rooms; part of the salary of a part-time speech therapist; partial payment of bills to the SMEC Collaborative which are in excess of the local appropria- tion. These funds assisted greatly in keeping Special Needs ex- penditures within a reasonable level during the past year. In the future we will need to consider the development of a program for elementary special needs students, who will require a substantially separate program from the regular mainstream pro- grams provided. We are receiving a number of students from the SMEC pre-school program, who will require more attention than can be provided in a regular resource room class. This type of program may require a restructuring of our current personnel assignments, but hopefully will not require added personnel. As has been stated in many of our previous reports, the Special Needs Department has tried to maintain a fiscally re- sponsible budget, in spite of continuing increases. There have been minimal increases in staffing patterns and those that did take place were in the aide categories, so that teachers could pro- vide services to more students. We are hopeful that this pattern of level personnel allocations can continue next year and that the primary added cost to the program will be for increased costs for supplies, staff and other needed contracts. The past year was characterized by stability in services for the Special Needs Department, and few problems in procedures were encountered. Four (4) new teachers were employed to replace personnel who had left the system. We hope that our programs will continue to offer the highest caliber of services that can be provided by these individuals. SCHOOL HEALTH The School Health Department is currently under the leader- ship of Diane Lopes, R.N., B.S., who replaces Judith Pasquill, R.N., as Supervisory Nurse. We regretted the departure of Mrs. Pasquill to another position and we wish her well in her new position. To fill out our full complement of four (4) nurses, we were happy to welcome Mrs. Nancy Starr, R.N., who has been hired on a temporary basis until a new Civil Service list is re- leased. 133 There were five (5) immunization clinics held, each at a different school location, in order to be more readily accessible to the Town’s population. These clinics were under the aus- pices of the Board of Health with the assistance of the School Health Department. The usual yearly health screenings were held, which also included scoliosis screening in order that any problem found may be brought to the attention of the parent or guardian of the student and followed up. School Resource Study Team meetings were scheduled each week in the elementary, junior and senior high schools in order to provide input to the 766 Core evaluation process. These meetings were attended by a school nurse whenever necessary. The elementary school nurses have provided the home visit section of the Core evaluation process and have followed through on medical examinations which were deemed necessary. Students in Kindergarten, first, fourth, seventh and tenth grades were given physical examinations by the school doctors or by their own family physicians. Every student participating in the schools’ competitive sports programs were given physicals by the school physician before participating unless they had the clearance of their own physician. School nurses took health his- tories and blood pressures on each student. All doctors’ re- ferrals were followed up as necessary. Health services in the area of hearing, vision, testing and physical examinations, where needed, were provided also for St. Joseph School under the direction of the school department’s nurses and Dr. Roy Fazendeiro, the elementary school physician. School nurses work with the attendance officer in cases where it is necessary to evaluate attendance problems due to health reasons. Jointly, with the attendance officer, home visits are made where these types of evaluation are needed. All parents of students, who are absent for three (3) consecutive days are con- tacted by school nurses to advise them, if needed, and to get a projected time of absence. Home instruction is provided wherever necessary. The secondary school nurses are also involved in following up on home contact in case of absences. Each parent is contacted, if their youngsters are absent and they have failed to notify the school. Elementary schools also have a similar follow-up program. 134 School nurses are also part of a team involved in investigation of child abuse cases where such instances are suspected. Health counselling to students, parents and staff members comprises a large portion of the school nurses’ work. The Fairhaven School Department also has a safety committee which evaluates students’ and employees’ accidents and recom- mends any changes to prevent any further accidents. The nurse at each school is a part of the individual school safety committee.

It is our sincere wish that this brief sum- mary of school department activities for the past year may merit your support and approval and that it will assist in providing you with information necessary to our purposes and programs. We sincerely expect to be able to do all in our power to prevent any erosion of services during these periods of depleted staff and 135 material resources. We expect to be fully involved in the near, as well as long-term, future in any programs of local, state or national initiatives designed to improve school effectiveness. It is our intent to give as much attention as possible to in- dividual problems as they occur, but we urge you to be patient when, in some cases, our response may be more limited than it has been in the past. We cannot give as much individual attention as you might wish us to, due to the depletion of avail- able staffing, time and funding. We have appreciated constructive comments which have been offered by the public concerning how we may better serve you and/or utilize the monies which are available to us. Educational programs cost money, and increasingly so each year. 87% or better of our programs involve staff salaries and/or staff time. Since we are a public educational agency, we must administer our programs in an even-handed way. We must assure that what- ever we are willing to do for one segment of our population we must, of necessity, provide to any other segments in an equitable manner. Exceptions cannot be made, because these exceptions in an equitable arrangement must become the rule and not an exception. As our budgets become relatively lower in relation to the in- creasing labor and material costs, there will be more and more areas where it would seem that school administration priorities do not always agree with some of the narrow vested interests within the general public. Requests of an individual nature many times cannot be granted or allowed since it would be impractical to allow numerous exceptions as a general rule for all citizens and/or students. We sincerely urge everyone who has suggestions or criticisms, to make them known to us in order that we may be able to use your input to implement a course of action which will be as fair and as impartial as possible. We would like to express our appreciation to the staff, faculty, town officials, town department heads and all others, who have contributed to the continued success of our educational and public mission. We are most appreciative to the various members of the Fairhaven High School Alumni Association, the individual school 136 parents and parent-teacher organizations, businesses and in- dustries, who have contributed time, money and material re- sources to improve and supplement our programs. It would not have been possible to develop many of these activities with the limited tax resources that were available to the Town and the School Committee.
