Difficult financial times require creativity and cooperation in order to meet the needs of the people and to deliver the service they expect and deserve. Although there is always room for improvement,
Town employees strive to meet the public's demands. Every effort is made to improve service while maintaining the bottom line. Although 1992 presented many challenges, accomplishments exceeded expectations. The Office of State Planning awarded the Town a total of $485,000 in Community Development Block Grant funds for the
Water System Improvements Project. In order to meet the current need for increased water resources and to stimulate economic growth, an additional water resource must be located.
Hydrogeological studies began in December 1992. Lead service connections and two water main river crossings will be replaced at no expense to the Town or customers. This project should be completed by December 1994. In addition the Town received $16,000 in grant funds from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to implement a
Wellhead Protection Program. Together, these two projects will help to ensure the Town's ability to provide a sufficient water supply to meet growing demands. Voters at the 1992 Town Meeting approved funding for a curbside recycling program. Although it took a number of months to negotiate contracts and to implement the program, the benefits are very rewarding. The merger of the Lebanon and Hartford facilities provided the Town an opportunity to increase services at reduced costs. Instead of $60 to dispose of a ton of rubbish, the Town will pay only $45. In addition, household hazardous waste disposal is available to Enfield residents at the Hartford Recycling Center. We applaud the Recycling Committee's efforts and look forward to increased participation in the program. Another method used to improve service and decrease expenses was the implementation of twice per year tax billing. The change reduced the need to borrow in anticipation of taxes by approximately fifty percent. We will continue to seek ways to reduce costs while providing the best possible services. Last year, the voters turned down the request to fund the replacement of Pillsbury Street Bridge. Many people questioned the need for the bridge and the type of construction proposed by the
Department of Transportation. The Board believes a feasibility study is required to provide professional needs assessment, analysis, and
recommendations . The results will enable the people to make an informed decision regarding the future of the bridge. The Selectmen and Library Trustees are sponsoring a warrant article to renovate Whitney Hall. The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) requires accessibility for public programs and services. The renovations include installing an elevator to the third floor, handicap restrooms, improvements to the library, and providing a sprinkler system for the building. We request your support for the $188,700 bond issue to make these necessary repairs.
Last, but not least, we would like to thank all the members of Town Boards, Commissions, and Committees for their hard work, relentless energy, commitment and dedication. Your efforts are appreciated and we look forward to working with you in 1993. Good government requires citizen involvement. Your talents and expertise can be a catalyst for change. Please consider volunteering your time to improve your community. There is an
Application for Appointment In the back of the Town Report. We look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Nickolas M. Loupis

This amendment would meet the minimum requirements of the Federal Emergency Management Agency which would allow the community to participate in the National Flood Insurance program. These flood plain regulations are required in order for property owners in town to be eligible to purchase flood insurance for the protection of their properties.

Adoption of these flood plain regulations will also allow federally insured banks to provide mortgages to property owners in flood plain areas and will allow the Town to receive federal disaster relief funds in case of a flood disaster. If this amendment is not adopted, the Town will be suspended from the National Flood Insurance Program and none of the above items will be available to property owners or the community.

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Town's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. The general purpose financial statements referred to above do not include the General Fixed Asset Account Croup, which should be included to conform with generally accepted accounting principles. The amount that should be recorded in the General Fixed Asset Account Group is not known. In our opinion, except that omission of the General Fixed Asset Account Group results in an Incomplete presentation, as explained in the above paragraph, the general purpose financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Town of Enfield at December 31, 1991, and the results of its operations (and cash flows of nonexpendable trust funds) for the year then ended In conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. 33 Also, In our opinion, the combining and individual fund financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the individual funds of the Town at December 31, 1991, and the results of operations of such funds for the year then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

As taxpayers and residents we all intend to avoid needless spending, recognizing at the same time the responsibility to maintain an adequately funded budget. A three (3) percent increase for town employees is suggested for 1993. There was no cost of living increase in 1992. Suggested revision of the town Master Plan is slated for 1993 and will be completed over a three (3) year period by mutual consent of the Selectmen, the Planning Board and the Budget Committee. Much of the Master Plan is still current. A computerized workstation is requested for the Town Clerk. This workstation was requested three (3) years ago and added to the budget for 1993 by the Selectmen and Budget Committee. The new database will include such items as titles, vital statistics, dog licenses, checklist generation and registrations and fees. There will be a datalink between Enfield and Concord. Needed improvements will be made to Whitney Hall including painting, structural roof repair and pavement for the parking lot. The beleaguered and controversial Pillsbury Street bridge project will receive funding for a feasibility study, if passed by Town Meeting. Payments to capital reserve will include funding for the ambulance replacement and an addition to the Union Street fire station. If the budget is accepted - as presented - at the Town Meeting in March citizens of Enfield would realize a fourteen (14) cent increase in the tax rate, from $5.34 to $5.48, representing a 2.6 percent increase over the 1992 tax budget. 61 Special concentration was given to the recommended Whitney Hall handicap access and Library renovation. Originally two (2) different warrant articles: the two were combined to one warrant article because of their interrelationships with one another. Although characteristics of the Library are optional at this time special consideration must be given to handicap access. Federal mandate requires the compliance to handicap specifications and failure to comply could very well cause forfeiture to the access of Whitney Hall. Municipal Budget law, RSA 32, requires a Budget Committee, where mandated by municipality, to represent citizens in an advisory capacity to prepare annual municipal budgets and Budget Committees must, in all cases, be sensitive to operational and administrative need as well as public opinion. Prior to the Public Hearing presentation on January 28, 1993, the Enfield Budget Committee met until late hours for ten (10) sessions with budget representatives. The Enfield Budget Committee respectfully requests consideration of its efforts at Town Meeting in March and expects the overall presented budget to meet the needs of Enfield in 1993. Respectfully Submitted Russell Muzzey III, Chairman Enfield Budget Committee 62 BUILDING INSPECTOR/HEALTH OFFICER To those who are planning a building project in 1993, I encourage you to begin your paperwork early. Building permits shall be obtained before beginning construction, alteration or repairs, other than ordinary repairs. [Ref. 1990 BOCA, Section 111.0, Application for Permit.] Building permits were issued, in 1992, for 12 single family homes, 1 multi-family/condominium, 21 barns and garages, 5 mobile homes, 41 additions and renovations, 48 storage buildings and decks, 4 commercial projects, 2 renewals and 4 demolitions. The Town is presently using the 1990 BOCA National Building Code. Since its adoption, the BOCA Building Code has been a great help in protecting the public from improper methods of construction. BOCA Code books are available for viewing at the Selectmen's Office and the Enfield Public Library, during regular hours. Building Permit applications may be obtained at the Selectmen's Office. If you need help, or have any questions, please do not hesitate to call me at 632-4067. Questions now can prevent delays later. Office hours are 8:00 AM. - 1:00 PM., Tuesday and Wednesday. As Health Officer I have assisted in several repairs and replacements of failed septic systems. I have also responded to several complaints of improperly discarded rubbish. Please help us to keep our Town a place of which we can be proud. Respectfully submitted. Howard Adams 63 ENFIELD CONSERVATION COMMISSION The Enfield Conservation Commission had a very productive year. The most significant project in terms of hours and probable improvement of environmental protection was the Enfield Wetlands Evaluation. The Commission is grateful to the Town for the funding of the professional study by Lobdell Associates. The Wetlands subcommittee spent many hours on this project. Citizens other than Commission members who gave much time and effort were Celie Aufiero, Charlie Bosson, Jim Gerding and Judy Lampe. The study shows that five of Enfield's wetlands are particularly valuable in terms of flood control, water quality, wildlife habitat and size. These wetlands are suggested by the study to be nominated as Prime Wetlands. Prime Wetlands, as defined by the New Hampshire Wetlands Board, have more protection from development at the state level. At the 1993 Town Meeting there will be a ballot vote to decide if the Town wishes these five to be designated as Prime Wetlands. The study and maps showing wetlands larger than 2 acres in size are available for public review at Whitney Hall and the Public Library. The Commission reviewed 8 Dredge and Fill applications in 1992. Dredge and Fill applications are required in the event of any disturbance to any wetland. Wetlands may be obvious such as a marsh or a wet meadow. More subtle wetlands are drainage swales and vernal pools. The Commission is available to help citizens decide if a Dredge and Fill Permit is needed for their projects. The Intent to Cut subcommittee Investigated 20 notices this year involving 254.5 acres of woodland(s). Requested and received from the State were 20 copies of the fieldbook for Best Management Practices for Erosion Control on Logging Roads Id New Hampshire . They are offered to persons filing intent-to-cut notices at the town office. The Trails subcommittee used federal money under the Emergency Youth Public Service Program to hire a crew of eight teenagers and an adult supervisor to work on Cole Pond Trail on the Bog Road. General improvement to the trail as well as erosion controls were accomplished with this project. 64 The Commission has formed two new subcommittees: the Natural Resource Inventory subcommittee will inventory the town's natural resources that may contribute to the town's decisions concerning growth, the Current Use Tax subcommittee is looking at possibilities for conservation uses of the current use tax. The Enfield Conservation Commission again thanks the town for its generous support for the Wetland Evaluation project. Citizens are welcome to serve on our subcommittees and attend our meetings. We look forward to being of service to you in 1993. Respectfully submitted, Kip Riley, Present Chair Craig SanbomT Past Chair Henry P. Brown 3^^, Secretary 65 ENFIELD F.A.S.T. SQUAD We started the year with our annual community C.P.R. course. Once again it was very well attended. We thank all those who took the time to take this life saving course. We look forward to seeing you in the spring of 1993. The F.A.S.T. Squad participated in a mock mass casualty incident that was held at the Lebanon Municipal Airport. The F.A.S.T. Squad also participated with the Enfield Fire Dept. in a mock disaster drill involving motor vehicles. The F.A.S.T. Squad started to do some fundraising to replace our ever aging defibrillator. As of this writing we have about three quarters of the money in hand. We should have our new defibrillator by February of 1993. This purchase could not have been possible without the help of our local businesses and organizations. Thank you! This year we had a number of our members upgrade their level of training from First Responder to E.M.T. - Basic. We congratulate all those who have done so. Congratulations are also in order for Bruce Turner who went one step further in his level of training. Bruce went from E.M.T. - Basic to E.M.T. - Intermediate. Congratulations Bruce on a job well done. In November, eleven members of the F.A.S.T. Squad took a defibrillator course and all successfully passed. In December six members took an esophogeal obtuator airway (E.O.A.) course and these members also passed. Both these techniques are used for someone in cardiac arrest. After all this training we still managed to do 176 ambulance calls. In closing, we would like to thank the taxpayers for their support throughout the year and to those who have sent in donations. Without your support we couldn't do what needs to be done. We hope you continue to support your F.A.S.T. Squad. Thank you! Respectfully submitted, Diana Albanese President, Enfield F.A.S.T. Squad 66 ENFIELD F.A.S.T.

This reflects a 14% decrease ENFIELD PUBLIC LIBRARY Patron use of the Enfield Public Library including circulation and special program attendance increased again during 1992. The summer reading program was attended by 39 young people who completed the reading session. Collectively a total of 608 books were read. Awards, gift certificates and museum passes were presented and refreshments served at the final program celebration held the end of July. In March the police department left their quarters in the library building to occupy the newly built police facility. Since then this space has been utilized for a variety of library activities. Responding to a request from the library administration, Susan Palmatier of the N.H. State Library prepared a report addressing present and future needs of our library. This information enhanced by expansion studies prepared by OZ Architecture and Trumbull-Nelson provided the data and floor plans which will allow the library to maintain its presence through the decade into the 2V^ century. With town approval of these recommendations and expansion plans the building will be handicapped accessible, structurally stronger and will continue to be a serviceable building for the Town of Enfield. In closing, thanks go to Susan Mellow and her volunteers for continuing to provide a monthly storytlme program. Appreciation also to Jean Baarson "The Book Lady" for her support of the library. Ma^rie A. Carr Librarian 69 MUNICIPAL WATER DEPARTMENT The most newsworthy event for the year regarding the municipal water system was that of securing two important Federal grants. The first grant, for $485,000 and coming from the Department of Housing and Urban Development, is to be used to replace two sections of water main crossing the Mascoma river, to replace most if not all of the remaining lead service lines, and to locate and put into operation a new water production well. The second grant for $16,000 and funded by the Environmental Protection Agency, is to be used to prepare a Wellhead Protection Program for the existing well supplies. As of the close of the year, the status of the projects are as follows: • Survey and some design work has been completed on the river crossings.. .expect construction in the early fall of 1993. • Lead service line replacement contract to be let out for bids in the spring of 1993. • Preliminary geophysical surveys have identified several favorable well siting zones, two of which have been selected for a more detailed search. • Computerized base mapping to support the Wellhead Protection Program is underway by the Upper Valley Lake Sunapee Regional Planning Commission. Water quality continues to be excellent. New State and Federal regulations nave resulted in a tremendous increase in water sampling requirements. 73 separate samples to test for the presence of bacteria were taken from the water system in 1992, compared to approximately 24 per year in the past. Some samples in October indicated the possibility of the presence of, or the potential development of an unhealthy bacteria growth, but quick and appropriate precautionary action by the department resulted in the water being declared completely safe by the State. Routine use of chlorine or other disinfection is not indicated nor desired. 70 MUNICIPAL SEWER DEPARTMENT With the help of the Town Highway Department, the Sewer Department was able to construct approximately 1100 feet of new collection sewer on Flanders and Day iJawn streets. Equipment which we didn't have was rented, and two temporary laborers hired. Three weeks later, substantial completion occurred. In addition to saving several thousand dollars on engineering and construction over what the project might have cost if private contractors and engineers were involved ($67,000 compared to up to $75,000 to $80,000), a good deal of the money stayed within the Town as Highway Department equipment rental and labor costs for the project were credited to the General Fund from the Sewer Construction Fund. With the urging and support of the Board of Selectmen, particularly Nick Loupis, the project provided an opportunity to demonstrate a "can do" spirit of teamwork and provided valuable experience for both the crew and supervisors. Coals for 1993 include the preparation of an updated sanitary survey of the Town to assist in securing grants or loans to sewer other areas, with special emphasis on Route 4 from Prospect Hill to the business area further east. Respectfully submitted, Timothy P.jj^fihings Water/Sewer Superintendent 71 ENFIELD PLANNING BOARD The Enfield Planning Board has had a moderately busy year. There was approval of 11 subdivisions, 4 site plans, 1 home occupation and 19 annexations. The former Mascoma Lake Lodge had deteriorated to point of being a safety hazard and was razed. A subdivision followed, creating four prime house lots at the lake. B.S.P. Trucking received approval for a warehouse facility at Exit 15 off 1-89. They have replaced a town bridge on Old Route 10, reduced the length of town road that needs to be maintained, provided an underground water tank for fire protection of their property and all properties in that area, and have built a fine modern trucking warehouse which opened its doors on December 1, 1992. Eastman Hill Road at Exit 16 has been rebuilt with a majority of the funding donated by Evan's Fuels. The road improvement should help solve safety problems that have been experienced there in the past. The Shaker development has had some building activity. Hiico Corporation has started upgrading the water system to bring the system into compliance with current state regulations. Pinnacle Peak Subdivision on Methodist hlill obtained approval for a 38 unit project, to include a guaranteed snowmobile/hiking trail for public use, a field to remain undeveloped and substantial reconstruction of the bottom of Methodist Hill Road as development is phased in. The Federal government has required towns that wish to continue to receive federal flood insurance to adopt the newest version of the Federal Flood Plain regulations. This will require Enfield to amend the flood plain regulations section of the Zoning Ordinance. Failure to make these changes could endanger existing mortgages to homes in the 100 year floor areas and also make it extremely difficult to obtain financing to buy a home in these areas. These regulations would also ensure that any new construction would be done is such a way that buildings would be able to withstand the flood, would not impede flood waters, and loss of life would be greatly diminished. This amendment to the flood plain regulations is an article on the 1993 Town Meeting Warrant. The Enfield Planning Board looks forward to serving and receiving input from the citizens of Enfield in the coming year. Respectfully submitted, Tim Taylor, Chairman 72 PLANNING BOARD FUNCTION The basic purpose of the Planning Board is to oversee the orderly growth of the Town in relation to the established Zoning Ordinance and related land use regulations. This entails the review of sub-divisions, commercial proposals and industrial construction through site plan review. The long-range purpose should be the planning of land use for various proposals so as to accommodate the orderly growth of residential neighborhoods, community business and commercial developments, taking into account the soil types, wetlands, traffic patterns and availability of Town services. The Planning Zoning Administrator is available to assist the public Monday 9-3 and Thursday 9-1 or by appointment, 632-4067. Respectfully submitted, Francis V. Lombardi Planning/Zoning Administrator 73 ENFIELD POLICE DEPARTMENT With anticipated elation the department moved into new quarters during March 1992. The much needed facility and space are most welcome and will enable us to better serve the Town. The new station consists of 3200 square feet and includes a reception area, operations area, a sallyport, processing room, training room. Chiefs office, a prosecutor's office, two interview rooms, and a garage. The facility is adequate for the departments needs and shall be for the foreseeable future. Criminal activity remained, as in years past, low. While a depressed economic condition continued to embrace the community, it did not appear to have an impact on our operations. Illegal drugs continued to be of grave concern with marijuana being the drug of choice. Four felony drug arrests were made during the year for sales and the cultivation of marijuana. Our efforts in this area are two fold, enforcement and education. The department has an active Drug Awareness and Resistance Program (DARE) in place at the Indian River School. A total of 137 fifth grade students graduated this past spring and 109 students are currently enrolled. A juvenile diversion program was developed by the department and approved by the Lebanon District court. Effective in August, the program has proven to be very successful. Meeting monthly, the committee composed of Chairman Paul Mirski and members Earl Brady, Leafie Cantlin, Wally Andrew, and Diane Croteau resolve minor cases involving juveniles. Joyce Osgood serves as program coordinator and acts as a bridge between the department and the committee. Our efforts in the promotion of safety in the community causes us to give notice of the increasing number of motor vehicle accidents. There was a 7% increase in reported accidents over the past year and the number of accidents with injuries increased in number from 12 to 26. While the use of safety belts may not prevent accidents, studies have shown that injuries can be greatly reduced by being buckled up. A recent survey depicts that safety belt utilization is slightly under 50% of the drivers in Enfield. The department has received a federal grant to promote safety belt usage with a goal of obtaining 70%. With the assistance of the Law Enforcement Explorer Post #44 the department will be increasing its efforts to encourage the use of safety belts. BUCKLE UP - ITS IMPORTANT 74 ENFIELD POLICE DEPARTMENT RECYCLING COMMITTEE Three years of study resulted in a range of recycling options presented on the 1992 warrant. Residents adopted a comprehensive curbside program for alternate week collection. A grant of $3,400 was secured to assist in the purchase of recycling bins. New household count figures and complicated negotiations with the City of Lebanon, and joining the new Greater Upper Valley Solid Waste District, extended the starting time until mid-November. After the first full month of the curbside program, 14)4 tons of recydables were collected. This is about 10% of the waste stream, or 173 tons annually. And we have just started! The job of the Recycling Committee has not ended: we are continuing our educational effort to increase participation in curbside recycling and are planning periodic town-wide drives to collect materials not included in our program like used batteries, cardboard, or magazines. Volunteers who could help out with a collection day or assist with recycling education at the schools should let the Town Offices know. Respectfully submitted, Linda Jones Enfield Recycling Committee members: Linda Jones, Becky Powell. Caryn Bosson, Mary Harrington. Peter Martin. 76 TOWN CLOCK PROJECT COMMITTEE I had hoped this would be the year the Enfield Town Clock Project Committee could report that all the hurdles had been overcome and the reconstruction of the Whitney Hall tower would soon begin. Alas, this was not to be. While the project is still going forward, the committee has encountered a time-consuming but essential obstacle, namely the urgent need to repair/support the main beam under the balcony on the third floor of Whitney Hall. Th's beam has degenerated over the years, at the point that the roof line joins the tower. Having chosen the tower as the appropriate location to establish the Town Clock and despite the committee's desire to see the construction begin, the committee finds no justification for proposing the project to the town until this very serious defect in the building is repaired. It has been agreed that the defect, which has occured over many years, is the financial responsibility of the town and not the Enfield Town Clock Project Committee. Our committee is responsible for the cost of the reconstruction of the tower, above the roof line. As of November, there is just over $25,000 available (with stipulations) for the project, or about 1/3 the anticipated cost. It is still the committee's intention that all necessary monies will be raised through donations and other activities. Unless, and until, the voters approve the funds to repair Whitney Hall the Enfield Town Clock Project Committee cannot move forward with our current proposal. The committee would like to thank all those who have donated their time, expertise and financial support to the restoration of the Enfield Town Clock. Respectfully submitted ^. Evelyn Palmer, Chairman Enfield Town Clock Project Committee members: Evelyn Palmer, Chairman: Ken Wheeler, Vice Chainnan; Dolores Struckoff , Secretary; Frans Strandberg; Christine Howe; Pat Cillam Ralph Ferland, interested citizen; Donn Lathrop, clock maker and advisor: Nickolas M. Loupis, Selectmen's representative 71 ZONING BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT In 1992 the Zoning Board of Adjustment (ZBA) heard a wide variety of cases, some appeals affecting the entire town while others only dealing with certain areas. Each application provided the town with valuable guidance to further the development of the Zoning Ordinance. The bulk of the applications were for variances from side and front setbacks. Although, much of the Board's time was spent on appeals regarding the Commercial and Industrial zone, proposals in this area are usually large projects which require careful consideration. Three new members were elected in 1992 and with them came a new direction. The Board has clarified the appeal process, allowed the alternates more participation and enacted various administrative and policy changes. While some aspects of the ordinance have been changed since its adoption in 1990 the spirit of the ordinance remains the same. The ZBA consists of 5 elected members and 3 appointed alternates who interpret the Enfield Zoning Ordinance. The Board meets on the second Tuesday of each month at 7:00 PM. in the Police/Municipal Facility conference room. Any property owner may appeal to the Board for the following reasons: a) A special exception which are listed in the ordinance for each specific zone, b) A variance to any section of the ordinance which would prohibit the applicants proposed use. c) To appeal an administrative decision, in which case you must be an abutter or officer of the town and you must appeal within 30 days of such decision. An application and copies of the ordinance are available at the town office for a minimal fee. A properly completed application, sketch of the property 1"=20', an application fee and list of all abutters will be required before a hearing shall be scheduled. The Zoning Board Administrator is available to assist the public with their application at 632-4067, Monday 9-3 and Thursday 9-1 or by appointment. Respectfully submitted. Gerry Stark, Chairman 78 REPORT TO THE PEOPLE OF COUNCIL DISTRICT ONE The five member NH Executive Council has its Constitutional authority in Articles 60 through 66 in the New Hampshire Constitution. Through the many Legislative Sessions much of New Hampshire law includes the Council in major decisions that are made by the Governor and top Executive Branch Officials. Acting similar to a Board of Directors of a corporation, the Council by law is called to act upon requests from the many executive branch departments and divisions. These requests are reviewed prior to Governor and Council consideration by the Attorney General's Office and the Commissioner of Administrative Services to be legally correct and that proper funds are available. Generally all contracts with outside state government agencies and individuals must be approved by the Governor with the advice and consent of the Council. This brings to the very top of your Executive Branch an elected voice from your area. The entire Judicial Branch of NH State Government is nominated by the Governor and confirmed by the Council. This is a very serious and key function of the Council. Judges are seated until their 70th birthday! The five member Council by law is now part of the Ten Year Highway Plan for New Hampshire and must by law hold hearings to gain citizen input and information on changes in the highway and bridge system of New Hampshire. Our report is due to the Commissioner of Transportation by June 1, 1993. The Council also plays a key role in assisting citizens, agencies, towns, cities and businesses in their relationship with New Hampshire State Government. A Councilor is only a phone call away and stands ready to assist in this ombudsman role. As Councilor for your Town and area, ! stand ready to be of service. Raymond S.

We are pleased that the $13.5 million budget adopted in late June showed a modest 3.45% increase. While the county property tax increased to $6.1 million after two years of decreases, the average annual county tax increase since 1989 has been less than 3%. Under state law, $3.5 million or 58% of the county tax dollars collected from Grafton County taxpayers in 1992 were sent to Concord to pay the county share of state assistance programs (Old Age Assistance, Aid to the Disabled, Medicaid/Nursing Assistance, and Services for Children & Youth). The Grafton County Nursing Home has continued to offer high quality medical, nursing, and support services to approximately 120 elderly and infirm residents while meeting the stricter federal Medicaid mandates imposed in 1991. The Special Needs Unit for individuals with Alzheimers Disease and similar illnesses, opened last year, has been especially well received by residents, families and staff. During 1993 the County plans to expand the unit form 11 to 32 beds. The County Department of Corrections saw a 15% increase in inmates over the past year. Drug forfeiture funds from the Attorney General's Office have enabled the department to increase and coordinate drug and alcohol abuse reduction programs with the goal of decreasing the number of repeat offenders. Again during 1992 the County Farm generated a modest operating surplus, providing work opportunities for County Corrections inmates and supplying meat and vegetables for the Nursing Home and Jail. For the second year the Farm also produced potatoes for the local food pantries throughout the County. The Commissioners, Sheriff and Assistant Sheriff implemented the second phase of a 3-year plan to ensure that subscribers pay the full cost of telephone answering services provided by the County Dispatch Center. The County also replaced the radio repeater on Cannon Mountain in order to upgrade law enforcement communications throughout Grafton County. 80 During 1992 the County distributed over $78,836.00 in state Incentive Funds to local programs that prevent out-of-home placements of troubled children and youth. The County has also continued to provide Youth and Family mediation services available free-of-charge in Lebanon, Littleton and Plymouth areas. Looking ahead to the late 1990's and beyond, the Commissioners initiated Long Range Planning as part of the annual budget process. A committee of county officials has been charged with recommending plans for addressing the needs of the county and state offices now housed at the Courthouse. The County sponsored a Community Development Block Grant for the AHEAD Agency in Littleton, a non-profit housing development organization. Funds are being used to purchase and rehabilitate multifamily rental housing units for the benefit of low- and moderate- income households in the northern part of Grafton County. During 1992 the Commissioners continued efforts to inform county residents about county government, encouraging tours of county facilities and holding information sessions for local officials and other groups. The Grafton County Board of Commissioners hold regular weekly meetings on Tuesdays (note the change from Thursdays) at 9:00 a.m. at the Administration Building on Route 10 in North Haverhill. All meetings are open to the public, and we encourage attendance by the public and the press. Please call the Commissioners' Office at 787-6941 for further information or to request a speaker or our slide show on county government for school or civic groups. In closing we wish to express our sincere appreciation to local officials, agencies and the public for cooperating in our efforts to serve the citizens of Grafton County. Respectfully Submitted, GRAFTON COUNTY COMMISSIONERS: Betty Jo Taffe, Chairman Gerard J. Zeiller, Vice Chairman Raymond S. Burton, Clerk 81 GRAFTON COUNTY SENIOR CITIZENS COUNCIL Grafton County Senior Citizens Council, Inc. provides services to older residents of Enfield. These services include home delivered meals, a senior dining room program, transportation, adult day care, outreach and social work services, health screening and education, recreation, information and referral, as well as opportunities for older individuals to be of service to their communities through volunteering. Any Enfield resident over the age of 60 or members of his/her family are eligible to use the services of GCSCC. Handicapped individuals under the age of 60 may also be served through these programs. Although there are not charges for the services, the Agency does request contributions toward the cost of services. During 1992, 301 older Enfield residents were served through all of GCSCC' s programs. 188 individuals enjoyed dinners at the Mascoma and Upper Valley Senior Center or received hot meals delivered to their homes: 1 5 elders used transportation services on 843 occasions to travel to medical appointments, to grocery stores, to do personal errands or to the Senior Center. 34 Enfield volunteers contributed 2,508 hours of time, energy and talent to support the operation of the Agency's services. 57 others participated in recreational and educational programs or used our information and referral service; 74 older people used the services of our social workers: 1 participated in our Adult Day Care Program and received 1 hour of care: 40 used the services of the nurse for health screening or foot care. Services for Enfield residents were instrumental in supporting many of these individuals as they attempted to remain in their own homes and out of institutional care despite physical frailties. Working closely with other agencies, providing services to older people in the community, our goals for the future include additional efforts to assist older Enfield residents and their families in taking advantage of available programs and services which will improve the quality of their lives and enable them to remain independent in their own community. Through the years, GCSCC has very much appreciated the support of the Enfield community for services which enhance the independence of older residents of Enfield. This support is much more critical at a time of Federal and State funding constraints. Carol W. Dustin, ASCW Executive Director 82 HEADREST Headrest, the Upper Valley's 24-Hour Crisis Hotline and Information & Referral service, thanks the people of Enfield for their support. Now in our 23rd year of continuous operation. Headrest serves Enfield residents in many ways: 24-Hour Hotline: In an emergency, some one is always available at Headrest to offer personal support and help to locate resources. Headrest's Hotline is certified by the American Association of Suicidology, and phone workers have special expertise in handling crises involving the use of alcohol or drugs. Hotline workers are trained to be understanding, listen carefully to the caller, and lend emotion support in a non-judgmental way. Information & Referral: People can call Headrest whenever they have a question or problem and are not sure where to turn. Headrest's computerized Information & Referral service has information on local services, tenants' & consumers' rights, drugs & alcohol, legal assistance, counseling services, and support groups. We have also been designated by ACoRN to be a contact point for information on AIDS issues. Shelter for the Homeless: Safe lodging is offered to homeless people referred to Headrest by local police, hospitals, churches, and mental health centers. Also, supervised overnight lodging and follow up counseling is available for intoxicated persons with funding from the NH Office of Alcohol & Drug Abuse Prevention. Alcohol & Drug Programs: Headrest offers infomiation, educational presentations, plus individual family and group counseling around substance abuse issues. Headrest is virtually the only free or low cost drug & alcohol counseling service in the Upper Valley. In 1992, Headrest also offered three different kinds of group counseling: a general group for alcohol and other drug abusers, two women's groups, and a STOP group for men who batter. Teenline Headrest's Teenline has been operating since March, 1990. This 24-hour "talkline" for teens anywhere in Vermont or New Hampshire (1- 800-639-6095) can be an important source of support for teens concerned about their own and others' drug & alcohol problems, who may be depressed or suicidal, victims of abuse, or who may just be in need of a caring listener. It is particularly effective in helping to reduce the isolation felt by young people in rural areas. Complete financial information and statistics are on file with the Town. In 1992, 128 Enfield residents called Headrest's 24-Hour Hotline a total of 212 times, including 16 suicide calls, 45 having to do with alcohol or other drugs, and 50 requests for counseling. 83 HOSPICE OF THE UPPER VALLEY Hospice of the Upper Valley, Inc. is a voluntary, community- based human service organization which addresses issues of life- threatening illness, death and bereavement. Our emphasis is on caring. Services include: direct patient/family care; volunteer, professional and community education; patient/family advocacy; case management; and influence in the development of public policy. The work of volunteers in the delivery of patient/family care is the mainstay of Hospice. Our major sources of income are from memorial gifts, individual donations, and town support. We gratefully acknowledge the support we have received from Enfield. The care patients and families receive is overseen and guided by the Hospice Interdisciplinary Team, which includes at least one representative from the following professions: clergy, discharge planner, Hospice nurse, home health nurse, oncology nurse, physician, social worker, Hospice volunteer. In order to ensure comprehensive medical and case management services. Hospice participates in the Hospice Regional Network (with six area home health agencies and four other volunteer Hospice programs) to provide the Medicare Hospice Benefit. For the first eleven months in 1992, Hospice serviced 330 patients/families in our various areas of service, of which 15 have been from Enfield. Patients/family units received Hospice nursing assessment and consultation, volunteer assistance with routine tasks or respite care in home, hospital, or nursing home. Families received support and guidance in their grief through our support groups for bereaved children and ongoing adult support groups. People coping with issues related to death and dying received short-term counseling, and other received information or referral to other services. AIDS buddies are Hospice- trained to provide care for those in need. Hospice of the Upper Valley services are available free of charge. Respectfully submitted, Clinton G. Cooper Executive Director 84 TOWN FOREST FIRE WARDEN AND STATE FOREST RANGER 1992 was below average for wildfires reported in our state. Our largest fire was in May in Rumney where a suspicious origin fire burned approximately 150 acres with a total cost of approximately $30,000. The N.H. Division of Forests and Lands assisted many other communities in wildland fire suppression as well. Our fire lookout towers reported 289 fires, burning a total of 136 acres. Our major causes of fires were fires kindled without a permit, unknown causes and children. Please help your town and state forest fire officials with fire prevention. New Hampshire State Law (RSA 224:27) requires that, "No person, fimi or corporation shall kindle or cause to be kindled any fire or burn or cause to be burned any material in the open, except when the ground is covered with snow, without first obtaining a written fire pemiit from the Forest Fire Warden of the town where the burning is to be done." Violation of this statute is a misdemeanor, punishable by a fine of up to $1,000 and/or a year in jail and you are liable for all fire suppression costs. Local fire departments are responsible for suppressing fires. The small average fire size of .47 acre/fire is a tribute to early detection by the public or our fire tower system and the quick response of our trained local fire departments. Please help your Warden and fire department by requesting and obtaining a fire permit before kindling an open fire. For fire permits and information, call 632-4331. The N.H. Division of Forests and Lands assisted 28 towns with a total of $20,000 in 50/50 cost share grants for fire fighter safety items and wildland suppression equipment in 1992. If you have any questions regarding New Hampshire forest fire laws, please contact your local Fire Warden, State Forest Ranger, or Division of Forests and Lands at 271-2217.

Crate Forest Ranger Enfield Forest Fire Warden 85 UPPER VALLEY HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE COMMITTEE For the last eight years the Upper Valley Household Hazardous Waste Committee has organized an annual household hazardous waste collection each spring, which has provided the residents of Upper Valley Towns with the opportunity to dispose of their hazardous waste products in a safe and environmentally sound way. This collection program has met with increasing success and last year we collected 16 tons of toxic waste from 628 Upper Valley households, which was transported for proper treatment and disposal by EPA licensed disposal services. In 1992 this program had an annual budget of over $38,000 paid for by contributions from landfills, state grants, towns and private donors. The Upper Valley Household Hazardous Waste Committee is pleased that the newly formed New Hampshire/Vermont Bi-State Solid Waste Program has taken on the responsibility for regular collection and disposal of household hazardous waste, at a specially equipped hazardous waste facility at the Hartford Recycling Center. This new center will service the program's member towns, which includes nearly all of the towns that the Upper Valley Household Hazardous Waste Committee has traditionally served. The Committee, therefore, will no longer be responsible for collecting hazardous waste in the Upper Valley. Our committee, which is composed of volunteers from Upper Valley towns and organizations, will now confine its activities to public education and information on hazardous waste issues. The Upper Valley Household Hazardous Waste Committee encourages Upper Valley residents to reduce their use of hazardous products in their homes and gardens and to ensure that household hazardous wastes such as oil based paints, batteries, pesticides and used motor oil are separated from regular trash and taken to the town's designated collection station or the Hartford Recycling and Hazardous Waste Center. Respectfully submitted, Colin J. High, Chairman 86 VISITING NURSE ALLIANCE OF VT & NH (MASCOMA HOME HEALTH SERVICES) We are pleased to have the opportunity to report on the activities of Mascoma Home Health Services for 1992, our twenty-third year of providing home and community health care to the residents of your community and our first year as a branch of the Visiting Nurse Alliance of Vermont and New Hampshire. As we reported last year, Mascoma Home Health Services joined together with six other home care agencies so we might better serve the home care needs of our communities. These services include skilled nursing, physical and occupational therapy, home health aide, homemaking and medical social services, and hospice care to the terminally ill. We are now able to make services available 24 hours a day, weekends and holidays included, and offer a private duty program. Help at Home. This has been a year of tremendous growth in the need and request for home care services. This has affected all programs, especially home visiting. This year 3,007 home visits were made to residents of the town of Enfield. We are proud of our staff. Their experience, dedication and skill in caring for people in their homes have made it possible for us to meet this challenge. The Family Health Services Program is available to young families in your community. This program includes a Well Child Clinic with an enrollment of 64 children from Enfield, and a Parent Aide Program. Home visits to children and families are made by nurses specializing in pediatric care and parent aides to help parents care for themselves and their children in the most productive and positive way possible. This year, 49 families have received services in your community. The agency also conducts community screening clinics, flu clinics and other health programs such as blood pressure screenings and foot care clinics. The Board of Trustees and the Incorporators Group, where your interests are represented by members of your town, the staff, and the people who are helped by our care, all thank you. We believe in the value of home and community health care and appreciate all that you do to support our efforts in your community. Respectfully submitted. President Elizabeth J.
