The Raymond Community Stewardship Committee Caretakers & Facilitators Of The Vision For The Future
Established in July, 1992 by the Board of Selectmen as a permanent advisory committee of the Town of Raymond, our fifteen-member group of volunteers accepted a formidable challenge with enthusiasm. We are made up of eleven members at-large, plus one representative each from the Board of Selectmen, the Planning Board, the Conservation Commission, and the Raymond Industrial Development Corporation. As charged by the Selectmen, we are "to provide an orderly forum to discuss and consider matters that affect the town's public image, historic heritage, community spirit and public facilities planning." In addition, we are "to identify ways the town can leverage its assets to attract desirable business and industry in order to broaden its tax base." Formation of the committee grew out of Raymond's participation in the 1991 Governor's Commission on the 21st Century. Raymond was one of two communities chosen by the Office of State Planning to help the Commission develop a process and set of planning tools that could be used by communities state-wide, and that would enable them to direct the location, character and timing of their future development in order to 1.) conserve important natural resources, 2.) promote economic growth, and 3.) maintain the "rural" atmosphere that makes New Hampshire living so desirable. In January of '92 a series of intensely productive meetings took place between Raymond citizens and a Task Force of State Planning Officials and private-sector volunteers with expertise in banking, real estate, architecture, landscaping, conservation, the environment and historic preservation. They left convinced that Raymond had great potential for managed economic growth and for enhancing and preserving its warm, small-town flavor. They were heard to comment in amazement that "people in Raymond actually talk with each other and are willing to exchange ideas!" Seeing cur town through a stranger's eyes, helped us realize the need to preserve the character and unique beauty of our town center; to utilize the scenic beauty and
recreational potential of the Lamprey River by making it more visible and accessible to the community. We caught the vision that a revitalized town center would project a positive town image; become the focus of greater community activity and act as a "magnet" to attract desirable business and industry to Raymond. The eagerly awaited Stewardship Program Report was received by the Selectmen in June. It was discussed, deemed feasible and a call was issued for committee volunteers. Once the committee was named, we received copies of the comprehensive
report and set to work, our enthusiasm for the project and its size, dictated that we meet weekly for the first few months. After electing officers and setting a sub-committee to work on by-laws and procedures, we began an exhaustive study of the Stewardship
Report, Part I. This covered the program overview, gateways, village center development, the municipal core and town green, traffic patterns and parking, the Lamprey River, building renovation, senior housing and a village center economic development strategy. It al included business/industrial park site identification, landscape and green space concepts and a business/industrial development strategy. Our Wellhead Protection Program's compatibility with such a strategy was also analyzed. Part II of the report reviews our land use regulations and makes recommendations geared to the village and economic development strategies in Part I. After Town Meeting, Part II will be studied in depth, on our own and jointly with the Planning Board to help fine-tune any changes that might be presented to the voters in '94. In the first months of operation, we also held informational meeting with the Old Firehouse Committee, the Historical Society and the Library Trustees. Invaluable input was gained and we'll continue this practice with other boards and groups. In December, we met with downtown business owners, Senior Center officers, a Community Action Program representative, clergy of the downtown churches and interested citizens. Again, input and information was exchanged to everyone's benefit. Attending a seminar sponsored by Rockingham County on marketing strategies for economic development, gave us more ideas worth implementing. For greater efficiency, we have divided into two groups: a Village and an Economic Development sub-committee. We have also chosen our colors of green and white to symbolize renewal. We support the idea of visually restoring downtown Raymond to the turn of the century when the town rose from the ashes of a devastating fire. As an unfunded advisory body we applaud and support Town Management's aggressive pursuit of grants to provide funding for safer sidewalks; to bring us into compliance with handicap parking and accessibility regulations; and to expand parking facilities for all. We could only add a suggestion for safer crosswalks, better lighting, more greenery, the visual expansion of the Town Common via a more attractive, open fence, and visually unifying the municipal core. We are developing a symbol and slogan to use in signage and gateway designs drawing people into Raymond. Depending on fund raisers and donations, future plans include a computerized business profile of the town, a brochure highlighting its assets, plus a town map with scenic and tourist attractions and business and service listings. Hopefully with help, we'll stage activities and events to inspire a new enthusiasm for Raymond as a wonderful place to live, work, shop and play. Plans include summer concerts on the common, a "Silly Boat Race" on the river and perhaps a "Winterfest".
As stated previously, this is a "formidable challenge" - but with community support we will realize our long-term goal of a renewed, prosperous Raymond of which we all can be proud!

BUILDING INSPECT./HEALTH OFFICER Richard J. Mailhot, Sr. Board Of Selectmen To the Citizens of Raymond: The Board of Selectmen identified the following goals to address in 1992: 1. To actively participate and develop the Community Stewardship Program. This program involved a close review of the Town, specifically its downtown center, commercial, and industrial needs. The Board appointed a Community Stewardship Committee which has been meeting weekly to review these needs and develop a work plan for each. Please see the report of the Community Stewardship Committee on the front inside cover. In connection with this process the town is pursuing an Economic Development Administration Grant for the downtown center which will revitalize it through the handicapped accessible streets; installation of improved lighting, sidewalks, fencing around the common, and landscaping. 2. Pursue Community Development Block Grant Program. In conjunction with Southern NH Planning Commission the Town of Raymond has identified the specific locations of the Municipal Wellheads and identified all pollutant sources within the Wellhead Protection area of 460+ acres. They have also developed a recommended comprehensive program of regulatory mechanisms, the combination of which will help to minimize or prevent existing and future potential contaminant sources from adversely impacting the groundwater supply. The Planning Board is reviewing this proposal to incorporate it into our various land use regulations. 3. Community Development Block Grant. The Town has continued to apply for Community Development Block Grant monies in 1992. We were awarded $200,000.00 to continue to revitalize the downtown area through the rehabilitation of multifamily housing. 4. Development of a Water Resource Management Plan. The Board of Selectmen has in conjunction with the Southern NH Planning Commission developed and are in the process of implementing a Water Resource Management Plan which is being reviewed by the Planning Board. This plan identifies the potential pollutant sources within the entire Town of Raymond. The Board of Selectmen is sincerely appreciative of all town volunteers and employees for their hard work over the past year. They have taken great strides in improving Raymond's services and we are deeply indebted to them for this. Respectfully submitted, Franklin C. Bishop Chairman Town Manager To the Citizens of Raymond: It is with pleasure that I submit my report to you as your town manager. The past year has been one of trying to "hold the line" in all areas of town government and trying to maintain acceptable levels of service. Through the cooperation of all, and an understanding public, we feel we have been successful in accomplishing this. The year has been one of "leveling off' relative to the economy. However, this has allowed our town officials to examine more closely Raymond's economic and strategic position in the state and how this might be enhanced in the years ahead. This led to our involvement with the Office of State Planning and the formation of the Stewardship Committee which has been formed to address our community's needs in several areas. A positive note has been realized with our success in making application through the U.S. Department of Commerce for an Economic Development Administration (EDA) grant through the Public Works Impact Program, for downtown revitalization. This grant is available to towns with a high unemployment rate (Raymond rose to a high of 17.6% during 1992), and would require that the town provide 20% of the total project cost while the federal government would provide the remaining 80%. This labor-intensive project is designed to improve our Main Street and provide for handicapped accessible sidewalks, improve traffic flow, address parking availability, town common renewal, lighting, and landscaping. While it might be said that this is hardly the right time to undertake such a project, it is the only time when such funds will be available. Next year not only do we expect the unemployment rate to drop, but the EDA grant will change to a 50% matching grant another year. The Board of Selectmen is currently writing letters requesting donations from the downtown building owners, and other town business people and organizations to help offset the local cost of this project. My thanks to the Stewardship Committee for their very active participation in the development of the project plan. The Fire Department, as was mentioned in my report of last year is in the need of a Fire Tanker Truck. You will note that this bond article is in the warrant for the 1993 Town Meeting. The 1965 Tank Truck is in desperate need of replacement. Patching of the tank has been minimally successful in the past two years and the body has suffered serious rusting. The normal life expectancy of tank trucks is roughly 20 years and at 28 years, this tank truck has certainly lived a full life. In 1992, the Parks & Recreation Director applied for and received a grant to install lights at the Ai S. Welch Ballfield on Route 107. The Raymond Youth Athletic Association has agreed to raise a matching sum of $25,000.00 for this purpose also. We are sincerely indebted to them for their willingness to undertake this project and look forward to this lighting in the future. My thanks to all town officers and employees for their cooperation and assistance throughout the past year.

Town Clerk fees, principally in the area of motor vehicle registrations, were $10,171 less than those of 1991 reflecting the fact that folks are buying fewer new cars in these troubling times. Residents are reminded that they may register their vehicles by mail if they wish; saving them a trip to our offices. Please call us if you are interested in this service. An additional fee of $1.00 is charged for the service. Town elections will be held in March and residents are reminded that they can register to vote at the Town Clerk's office at anytime up to ten days prior to the elections. Absentee ballots are available prior to election day for those unable to get to the polls on election day. Again, please call if you have questions or need assistance. Your Town Clerk/Tax Collector's office has assumed the responsibility for the collection of Raymond's Town water bills. This new function is running smoothly and should result in better service to the community. I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to all in the community for your wonderful support and expressions of thoughtfulness during my recovery from the accident I was involved in. Your many kindnesses were overwhelming. I would also like to take this occasion to thank my Deputy, Doris Gagnon, and my clerk, Norma Lovejoy, for the outstanding job they have done under trying circumstances. My thanks also to Bette Patterson and other employees at the Town Offices for their valued assistance. Respectfully submitted, Gloria E.

Our review of these systems was not intended to provide assurance on the internal control structure and should not be relied on for that purpose. Under the standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, reportable conditions involve matters coming to our attention relating to significant deficiencies in the design or operation of the internal control structure that, in our judgment, could adversely affect the Town's ability to record, process, summarize, and report financial data consistent with the assertions of management in the financial statements. A material weakness is a reportable condition in which the design or operation of one or more of the internal control structure elements does not reduce to a relatively low level the risk that errors or irregularities, in amounts that would be material in relation to the financial statements being audited, may occur and not be detected within a timely period by employees in the normal course of performing their assigned functions. Our consideration of the internal control structure would not necessarily disclose all matters in the internal control structure that might constitute reportable conditions and, accordingly, would not necessarily disclose all reportable conditions that are also considered to be material weaknesses as defined above. The following other matter came to our attention that we have discussed with management as an opportunity for efficiency and/or cost savings related to the administration of the Town GENERAL ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING SYSTEM We were pleased with the improvement in the general accounting system records for both the General Fund and the Water Department. The general ledger accounts as well as the revenue and expenditure reports were reconciled and in balance. The Bookkeeper was committed to this goal and succeeded despite illness and misfortune that affected key financial personnel of the Town during the year. However, because of the size and complexity of the general accounting records, in addition to the number of Federal grant funds, we still reiterate the need for a Town Finance Director. 45 . Town of Raymond Independent Auditor's Communication of Reportable Conditions and Other Hatters This individual should possess the necessary skills to enable an assumption of responsibility for supervising all bookkeeping and record-keeping functions of the Town We are pleased to report that, during the course of our review of internal controls, no material weaknesses in the Town's accounting systems and records were identified. Minor weaknesses or other considerations coming to our attention were generally procedural in nature and dealt with administrative or record-keeping practices. In these instances, we made specific recommendations or provided instruction to those individuals involved during the course of our audit fieldwork. This report is intended solely for the information and use of management and others within the administration. This restriction is not intended to limit distribution of this report, which is a ^atter of public record. : February 12, 19. 2 46 Plodzik & Sanderson Professional Association 193 North Main Street Concord. N.H. 03301 (603) 225-6996 INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT ON FINANCIAL PRESENTATION To the Members of the Board of Selectmen and Town Manager Town of Raymond Raymond, New Hampshire We have audited the accompanying general purpose financial statements of the Town of Raymond as of and for the year ended December 31, 1992, as listed in the table of contents. These general purpose 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 general purpose financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the general purpose financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall 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 Downtown Housing Improvement Program (CDBG) Fund, which will be completed at a later date. In our opinion, except for the effect on the financial statements of the omission described in the preceding paragraph, the general purpose financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Town of Raymond as of December 31, 1992, and the results of its operations (and cash flows of its nonexpendable trust funds) for the year then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the general purpose financial statements taken as a whole. The combining and individual fund financial statements listed in the table of contents are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the general purpose financial statements of the Town of Raymond. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the general purpose financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly presented in all material respects in relation to the general purpose financial statements taken as a whole. ^*^6 February 12, 1993 ^^ -^ 47 Onway Lake (formerly Jones' Pond) Much of the town's early history has centered around the Lamprey River and its largest "pond". Fullonton's "History of Raymond" published in 1875 states that Jones' Pond "is the largest, and is situated south-west of the village and north of the railroad. A saw-mill was built near its outlet, in early times, by a Mr. Jones, hence its name." For decades the lake was a center for tourism; its shores dotted with several "boarding houses", with people coming from miles around to enjoy its pristine water and beautiful surroundings. The site of a girls' boarding summer camp for several years, a continuing location for a Boy Scout camp, a town beach, and several summer and year round residences, the lake continues to be a focal point in the community. Dearborn Land - Onway Lake 48 49 Police Department Your Police Department has been refining its service to you in a number of ways during the past year. You should have noticed a friendlier, smiling officer when he takes a report on your complaint. We also offer a home security check where the officer checks your residence and makes suggestions on how to improve the protection of your possessions. We, along with other town employees, are striving to give you, our customers, the best service available. Your comments and suggestions are always welcome. The economic constraints of the past year have accomplished the goal of a level tax rate. We have had to devote much time to insuring we did our part. The efforts are difficult to measure due to the increase in work load from the pressures put on the families by the economic instability. We are proud of each of our officers and the efforts they have put forward to maintain the professionalism and integrity we are known for. These efforts have brought to successful conclusion numerous cases, such as the 34 felony cases presented to the Grand Jury for indictment and the 150% increase in juvenile prosecution for damage to property and criminal trespass. We also had a homicide committed in July and solved in November by the State and Federal authorities. These crimes reflect a national trend as reported by the National Crime Index report. Our officers have been continuing their education to keep abreast of the latest techniques. We will endeavor to improve our service to you despite the increased work load. We are thankful for the assistance rendered by the town office personnel; fire and highway departments; Raymond Ambulance, Inc.; the State Police; Candia, Chester, Deerfield, Epping, Fremont and Nottingham Police Departments; the supervision and support of the Town Manager, Martha St. Amand; and the Board of Selectmen. A special thanks to the dispatchers who strive to present a calm and concerned attitude when you call for help or information. We appreciate all their sacrifices and continued support. My personal thanks to each of our officers for their commitment and dedication to the success of our department and to each of their family members who make so many sacrifices in family life to insure our officers have the support necessary to get them through the difficulties. We also thank you, the citizens (customers), who assisted, commented and worked with us to keep Raymond a safe and community-oriented place to live. Respectfully submitted, Richard E.

A look at 1991 reveals three structure fires for the year. This was the start of a busy year in building fires. The overall number of calls was down but the type of calls we had required more hours of service from the responding firefighters than last year. We had 101 more calls this year. Mutual Aid from the neighboring towns was utilized a lot as was it returned. Raymond's Engine 3 is proving to be a valuable asset to the town. Again "Hometown Friends" came to the rescue of 25 families, 11 from fires in Raymond. Another job well done. The RFD is proud to hold the charter for the Raymond Cub Scout Pack 100, Boy Scout Troop 111 and the Firefighters Explorer Post 2100. Cubmaster Peg Louis with her 29 adult leaders has made this another great year for scouting. Because of space limitations I can only list a few of their accomplishments. They assisted McDonalds in recycling Christmas trees for the school district, ran games, and sponsored Easter Parade, Town Halloween Party and Christmas on the common. They are very proud of Raymond which is evident in the number of hours spent cleaning up of roads, beaches and the common. They assisted the R.C.C.A.P. food program and collected food for Knights of Columbus Christmas baskets, and collected 5,105 items of food for area distribution to the needy. I am very impressed by the members of the Raymond Fire Department and the community that has supported them. The RFD put forth a great effort over the last three years to raise a large sum of money by working together on weekends and nights. The sold raffle tickets, Christmas trees, extinguishers, and detectors. The community supported RFD by buying these things and donating materials to our projects. At a meeting less than a year ago the members decided to build a rescue truck at no cost to the town. 52 In April a walk in van was bought from Ryder rental at the cost of five thousand two hundred dollars ($5200.00). The committee laid out and designed a truck. They set out to build a rescue truck with no cost to the taxpayer. As word got out merchants offered to help. The first help we received other than the firefighters was from Lumbertown with the offer of a dozen sheets of plywood. JCR of Raymond got word and offered a 500-watt 110 transformer; Ai Welch Oil, Pratfs tools and Radio Grove donated next. All the firefighters donated in one way or another. Rescue equipment came from retired Raymond Fire Chief Burgess Chase and Raymond Ambulance. The Master Plan talks of a rescue truck purchase in 1995. This truck will allow this purchase to be put off a few years. The total cost of this project out of pocket was around $8,000.00 and about 2,000 man-hours at no charge. I am very pleased with the effort put out by all concerned. Two years ago we had to retire 1,500 gallon tank 2 from emergency service and by 1993 our 1,200 gallon 1956 tank 3 should be retired. In the town's Master Plan (CIP) the first truck should have been replaced in 1991 and the second in 1992. Last year the firefighters put together a bid package for a tank truck with a 2,500 gallon tank and a 1,250 pump. This truck committee included 8 firefighters, several meetings, and two trips to fire truck manufacturers which were all managed at no cost to the town. As always I would like to thank the other departments for their assistance and for making our work easier; and the Selectmen and Town Manager for support during this financially tough year and for helping us help others. Finally to all the firefighters and families that have given up so much to protect life and property. It has been said that "A man can give no more valuable gift than his time". Thank you for time and your dedication. The following are your firefighters: Wayne Welch, Dep. Chief Don Tenney, Dep. Chief Paul Welch, Capt. Mike Poole, Capt. Paul Hammond, Lieut. Bill Hoitt, Lieut.

The Raymond Ambulance, Inc. has come a long way from its start 33 years ago. We have always been a volunteer service. We now employ 1 full-time and several part- time employees to cover Monday through Friday during the day-time hours and the evenings and weekends are still covered by volunteers. We have two ambulances and 32 volunteers. We currently have 1 paramedic, 3 EMT-I's, 8 EMT-D's, 8 EMTs, and 12 AFA's. Education is one of our priorities. Taking classes now are 1 paramedic, 3 EMT-I's, and 1 EMT. We have 1 EMT-I waiting for her test, 6 AFA's who will be starting EMT classes in February and Auto Defib in April. We also have several observers who have recently joined our organization. We are pleased to announce that our service is involved in Exeter Hospital's new program, the ALS (Advanced Life Support) service. This new service comes out of Exeter Hospital and is a non-transporting truck with a paramedic and a driver aboard. This service is like bringing the emergency room department to us and is no additional charge to the town. It is based on individual calls. Raymond Ambulance, Inc. would like to take this opportunity to thank Exeter Hospital for their new ALS service. The ALS crews are hard-working and dedicated medical personnel. They allow us to provide the best emergency care for Raymond and our surrounding towns. Raymond Ambulance, Inc. would like to extend a special thanks to our families for their support and understanding throughout the years. We also receive assistance from Raymond Dispatch, Fire, and Police Departments; Fremont Rescue and Fire Departments; Deerfield Rescue and Fire Departments; Epping Ambulance and Fire Departments; and Southern NH Ambulance. We would like to say thanks to all the organizations mentioned above for being part of our team that supplies our town with the best service possible. April 1992 was a very busy month for us with our change of officers and lots of new members joining our team. This was a challenge which Raymond Ambulance, Inc. met head on and overcame with the help of our Selectpersons and Town Manager. We wish to extend our appreciation for their time and support. We would also like to thank all the people who supported us with all of their time, donations and loyalty throughout the year. Raymond Ambulance, Inc. is looking forward to providing the best emergency service in the upcoming year.

At a Town Meeting on March 14, 1893 it was voted to direct the selectmen to build a suitable fence around the common and to raise the sum of $100 to defray the expense. 55 Dispatch center Another year has passed and the Raymond Dispatch Center continued to be the center of activity for the three town area Emergency Services Departments. The total number of calls for service we handled for each of the seven Departments we dispatch for is as follows: Raymond Police Department 8,098 Raymond Fire Department 205 Raymond Ambulance, Inc. 613 Deerfield Fire Department 46 Deerfield Rescue Squad 104 Fremont Fire Department 51 Fremont Rescue Squad 72 TOTAL 9,189 The radio communications equipment project is underway. The new radio console and equipment, low band base station for the Highway Department, back-up radio and encoder has been ordered and expected to be installed around the first of February. The Dictaphone dual reel voice logger and call check have been delivered and installation will begin the last week of December. We wish to thank the citizens of Raymond for approving this portion of the equipment replacement from our Capital Improvements fund. Special thanks to all the people who assisted with putting this project together. Keeping equipment updated is most important in providing the best possible service to the citizens and insuring the safety of Emergency Services personnel in the field. Thank you to the following people and departments for your assistance and support throughout the year: Martha St. Amand, Town Manager; Raymond Board of Selectmen; Raymond Police, Fire, Ambulance, Public Works and Town Office employees; Fremont Fire and Rescue; Deerfield Fire and Rescue; Rockingham County; New Hampshire State Police and all Public Safety personnel we worked with. Our commitment to serve often goes above and beyond the call of duty. With the personnel shortages we experienced this year, many members of the department worked extra long hours to provide around-the-clock coverage. These dedicated professionals are the glue that holds the local emergency services network together and to them I extend my heartfelt appreciation. While most of you are at home enjoying weekends and holidays with family and friends, there is a Raymond Emergency Dispatcher on duty ready to answer your call for help. They are: Michelle Williams, Michael Medeiros, Betty Gallison, Pauline Gordon, Robyn Tolman, Kevin Woods, Marian Lovejoy, Nancy Rice, Liz Wunderlich and Tom Tufts. Respectfully submitted, Judy Van Zant Head Dispatcher 56 Public Works The Raymond Public Works consisting of Highway, Landfill, General Government Building and Water Departments has remained extremely active during 1992. Each department has strived to maintain existing service at reduced appropriation levels with very good success. The departments achieved a number of goals within an austere financial frame work and have established new goals for the coming year. A complete analysis of all Town Government Buildings has resulted in an inventory of necessary maintenance with prioritized tasks which will result in improvements being implemented in a timely basis. The majority of improvements scheduled for the coming year are planned to provide energy savings to the Town. The Town Landfill/Recycling facility has continued to provide environmentally minded residents an alternative to throwing recyclable materials into the trash. Planning is underway to accept used motor oil in the coming year and to host a household hazardous waste collection day for Raymond residents and surrounding communities. The Highway Department continues to provide various services to the Town in an effort to maximize the return on the residents tax dollars. Rather than continue to contract out roadside mowing, the department has elected to provide this service with its own staff and equipment. Although Reconstruction/Overlay funds were minimal, the department was able to complete the overlay of Green Road and Harriman Hill Road. Also, the second of three phases for reconstruction of Prescott Road was begun with completion scheduled for 1993. The Highway Department continues to provide vehicle maintenance services for all town-owned vehicles. This is a mammoth task requiring the efforts of the entire highway staff to assure that all forty plus pieces of town equipment is properly serviced and road worthy. The department plans to implement a Municipal Equipment Maintenance system to computer track the maintenance needs, costs and schedules of the town's rolling stock in the upcoming year. The Water Department has experienced great change and activity this year with more planned for the future. The major goal accomplished was computerization of the department's water bills and the exterior and interior painting of the Route 156 water storage standpipe. Prior to painting the standpipe the Water and Highway Departments expended substantial effort in installing control valves, constructing temporary telemetering and emptying and filling the tank. Painting of the Orchard Street standpipe has been delayed until 1993 due to the determination of the existing paint system being lead based. This work will be re-bid and performed in the spring of 1993. Both myself and the Public Works staff thank the townspeople for the opportunity to provide them with the many services noted, and look forward to offering continued and improved essential infrastructure services in the coming year in an efficient and economical manner. Respectfully submitted, Dennis G. McCarthy Director 57 Water Department In accordance with Warrant Article #244 duly acted upon in the affirmative by the voters at the March 12, 1988 Town Meeting, the following aggregate revenues are in the arrears of greater than sixty days. In addition, the following users are in arrears by greater than ninety days as of December 31, 1992.

Ending months of considerable controversy as to whether the water system would be owned by private individuals or by the citizens of the town, the outcome was that the Raymond Water Works Company, Inc. would be owned by the municipality. Actual cost of constructing the system was $25,356.35. The standpipe was located at the end of Orchard Street on a high spot known as "Standpipe Hill". Wells were driven in sand situated along the Lamprey River near Epping Street, and the steam pump was located in the shoe factory of F.M. Hoyt & Company. — Excerpted from "Pictorial History of Raymond, N.H. 1964-1976" 58 Solid Waste & Recycling Committee Every pound of trash responsibly diverted from the waste stream translated into dollars saved in pickup and disposal fees (cost avoidance). Although approximately 50 tons were recycled in 1992, the town could realize an estimated $45,000 savings in cost avoidance if we reduce, reuse, and recycle 25% of our current waste stream. The "Raymond Recycles" program at the landfill continues to collect aluminum cans; tin cans; newspaper; corrugated cardboard; PET plastic; HDPE plastic; clear, brown and green glass; light iron; aluminum and scrap metal. The collection and recycling of computer, white and colored paper at the town offices is ongoing. The paper collection at the high school has resumed. Space constraints prohibit the expansion of the paper program to the other schools. The primary focus for 1992 was education. An information booth was set up at the Town Fair. A comprehensive flyer, "Throwing It Out With the Trash", was created and distributed. Newspaper articles on topics ranging from composting to gift wrap were drafted and printed. Future topics will include creative reuse of common household items and safe alternatives to hazardous household products. The committee welcomed the arrival of graduate student, Sharon Mastenbrook. With her help and the cooperation of the committee and the town's Department of Public Works, a tentative multi-town household hazardous waste (HHW) collection is being organized for May/June 1993, contingent upon the approval of a state grant subsidizing the HHW collection. An application for a second state grant has been submitted for a HHW minimization program. If approved by the state, this self- supporting program entails multi-town resident swaps of common but hazardous household products such as leftover paints and stains. The committee's goals for 1993 are: 1. Implementation of HHW minimization and collection programs. 2. Gather updated information on curbside recycling and "pay per bag" programs. 3. Continue expansion and review of current recycling programs. 4. Education.

Kathleen McDonald Kathleen Chamberlain Stuart Saslow 59 Building & Health It's December 30 and I'm here trying to think of what were the most intriguing and beneficial projects that my office was involved with this year. Several projects come to mind... the C.D.B.G. Housing Rehabilitation going on downtown... expansion planning of the Dudley Tucker Library... the grant application process for the Economic Development Grant... and the continued work of the Stewardship Committee, just to name a few. Although all are of great importance, my favorite is the ongoing Stewardship Committee work. Much effort has gone into the basis this committee is working with to assist Raymond's residents with a "new perspective" of the downtown area for both residential and commercial activities. A new enthusiasm has developed about the town's center area, much of which is the result of the "seeds" planted by the Office of State Planning^ Stewardship program which saw it's beginnings here in Raymond. This, I feel, has the potential to start an entire, new, revitalized era for Raymond. I am proud to have played a small part in that process and look forward to a continued role in the committee's and Raymond's progress. Relative to building permits, I offer the following statistics: 1992 1991 Total Permits to Date 367 330 Total Permits for New Homes 27 24 Although not startling, it does represent an increase of 12% in overall construction activity. Once again I would like to take a moment to thank the citizens for this opportunity to work "for and with them" in the many facets of a dynamic community such as Raymond. Respectfully submitted, Richard J. Mailhot, Sr. Code Enforcement Officer 60 Capital Improvement Projects Committee The Raymond Capital Improvement Projects (CIP) Committee has completed the annual schedule update, now for 1993-98. With input from the school and town for the six-year plan, the committee is pleased to announce no year in the CIP schedule will expend as much as in 1988, the peak year. The schedule is published with the Raymond Master Plan and is also used in the budgeting process. The most distinguishing feature of the 1993 CIP schedule regards bond issues. A few years ago the library trustees deferred the library move and renovation project to aid possible passage of the safety complex. The safety complex was passed and built, but the recession of recent years caused all significant projects to be put on hold. A scaled down library renovation project returns to the CIP as a proposed 1993 project. A new fire truck is also proposed for 1993. Finally, acquisition of a SAU 33 administrative office is proposed for 1993. Future years indicate proposal of an elementary or middle school addition or new construction, conversion of the Lamprey River Elementary School from electric to oil heat, and future renovation of the old fire station. A return to previous spending levels for road overlay and reconstruction is also proposed for 1994-98. The 1993 Capital Improvement Projects Committee thanks the department heads for their input in this process, the SAU 33 Superintendent and the Town Manager for their assistance, and the town planning consultant for his guidance. The 1992-93 members are: Mark Lagasse, budget committee; Roger Retzke, member-at-large; Ramona Stevens, school board; Ramona Strojevs, planning board; and Neal Welch, selectman. Respectfully submitted, Roger F. Retzke Chairman 61 Planning Board In 1992, a slow down in development provided the Raymond Planning Board with the opportunity to devote more time to planning for the Town's future. The Planning Board was an active participant in the Raymond Community Stewardship Program, an initiative by the NH Office of State Planning to offer technical assistance to two New Hampshire communities in a self-designed planning process. Professionals in the fields of architecture, planning, landscape design and engineering volunteered their time to meet with local officials and citizens to learn their concerns and interest for improving Raymond. This process eventually resulted in a set of community-based recommendations designed to improve the physical appearance of downtown Raymond. This effort, in cooperation with the Community Development Program, has enabled the Town to submit a pre-application to the U.S. Economic Development Administration (EDA) for street, sidewalk, lighting, and landscape improvements in downtown Raymond. Because of the high unemployment rate in the Town and the need to alleviate a public safety problem, EDA is considering providing a grant of $400,000, or 80% of the proposed improvements. At the Selectmen's request, our planning consultant, Gerald Coogan, prepared the pre-application to EDA. The Southern New Hampshire Planning Commission has worked with the Town on developing a Wellhead Protection Program, only one of two in the State, and a Water Resource Management Plan. The Planning Board is very concerned with maintaining and enhancing the Town's water supply, and these studies will help the Board develop sound land-use policies designed to protect one of our most valuable resources. The Planning Board wants to take an appropriate amount of time so that the proposed land use regulations are compatible with the Town's desire to encourage quality commercial and industrial growth, and to garner the support of the Townspeople. With assistance from the consultant, the Board assisted in updating the Town's Capital Improvement Program (CIP), a guide for the Town's spending of major investments such as road improvements, library expansion, and school expansion. The Board's planning consultant, along with the Building Inspector and Public Works Director, are available to meet with prospective applicants to review and discuss zoning issues, subdivision and site plan review regulations. Because of the current economic slow down, there are few new proposals. However, applicants are meeting and discussing previously approved subdivisions and site plans, which have been delayed due to economic reasons. In this category, the Board reviewed seven subdivisions and three site plans; ten minor site plans were reviewed and acted upon. In the spring, the Board conducted its annual review of excavation areas in order to determine compliance with the Town's Earth Excavation Regulations. The Planning Consultant conducted two major review meetings with representatives of a major excavating company in Town. The Board, acting on behalf of the Town reached settlement on a lengthy legal action. A public informational narrative on the planning process has been prepared for those persons who are not familiar with the Town's planning process, and wish to become knowledgeable. It is available at the Town Clerk's office. 62 In 1993, the Board will continue to work on the Wellhead Protection Plan and the Water Resource Management Plan so that appropriate land-use regulations can be drafted and presented to the Town Meeting in 1994. The Board will research the practicality of recommending performance standards for commercial and industrial land. Through its consultant, the Board will review recommendations of the Stewardship Committee, and suggest ways to implement the agreed-upon recommendations. Early indications suggest that the Town may experience increased development activity in 1993. The Board's consultant is available to meet with prospective applicants and developers to review proposals and existing regulations. The Planning Board welcomes residents to attend its meetings which are posted for alternating Thursdays at the Town Office Building. The Board wishes to thank the Selectmen, Town Manager, Building Inspector, Public Works Director, Fire Chief, our consultant, and the Townspeople for their support and cooperation through 1992. Respectfully submitted, Diane White Chair Turning Back the Clock... The 1 893 Raymond Town Report contains the first library report. A Free Public Library had been formed in 1892 with a town appropriation of $25.00. However, all the books purchased were destroyed in the fire in December of that year, except nine that were on loan at the time. Three trustees were appointed in 1893 to receive books valued at $100.00 from the State and a bookcase was built in the Town Hall, the only accessible place that had not been destroyed by the fire. The reading room was reinstated in the parlor of the new Congregational Church. An association was formed to raise money by donations and concerts to support the building of a library and at the last meeting recorded in 1906, Mrs. Gilman Tucker was empowered to represent the Association in the transactions with Andrew Carnegie. — Excerpted from "Pictorial History of Raymond, N.H. 1964-1976" 63 . Southern New Hampshire Planning Commission All dues-paying members of the Southern New Hampshire Planning Commission are offered a wide range of services, resources and technical assistance by professional planning consultants on an as-needed basis. With the concurrence of your representatives, each year the staff develops and carries out regional planning programs that are mandated under the state and federal laws, as well as those planning activities which pertain more directly to your community. Local planning assistance is provided upon receiving a request from your Planning Board and/or the Town Manager. Certain studies that are of common interest to all member municipalities are conducted, notifications made and training workshops held on an as-needed basis. Services that were performed for the Town of Raymond during the past year are as follows: 1 Co-sponsored the Municipal Law Lecture meetings. These meetings were attended by Raymond officials. 2. Conducted a six-hour training workshop for the planning board members. The Raymond Planning and Zoning boards were invited to that workshop. 3. Staff prepared a computerized census block map for the town, using the U.S. Census TIGER files. 4. Prepared a handbook on impact fee development. 5. Conducted traffic counts on several locations in the Town of Raymond. The data has been forwarded to the Public Works Director. 6. Prepared a computerized town road base map using the town's tax maps and USGS Quad Sheets. 7. The towns Water Resource v=nagement and Protection Plan was completed and has been forwarded to the Planning Board for its action. Raymond's Representatives to the Commission are: Craig Lapham Edward Vamey Kenneth Semple, Alternate e Committee Member: Craig Lapham 64 Conservation Commission This has been a varied year for the Conservation Commission (ConCom). We more than doubled our activities over last year; and we again had some membership turnover. Our activities included finalizing our education to develop criteria to set and document values for wetlands identification and evaluation. Several ConCom members attended an all day Saturday workshop on non-tidal wetlands comparative evaluation methods put on by NH Audubon. With completion of this workshop, one new volunteer member has taken on the task of managing the photo documentation of all site visits, inspections, and evaluations. Another new volunteer member has taken on the task of managing all the written and mathematical aspects of the same. These two tasks will create and ensure permanent documentation of all our comparative evaluations. Other member activities have included site-walks to inspect and photograph some permit applications as well as some suspect permit violations. Some of these inspections have been brought to our attention by use of a joint request form designed by both the Code Enforcement Officer and the ConCom. This form can be used to request an inspection of any questionable activity anyone may come upon. This form may be anonymously filled out and can be telephoned into Town Hall. The ConCom intervened on a Wetlands Board Permit. The Wetlands Board did uphold the findings of this ConCom and denied the initial permit. And, although an amended permit request has since been granted, this intervention has encouraged the State's attention to Raymond. The ConCom also worked with and attended Selectmen, Zoning Board of Adjustment, Planning and Stewardship meetings as well as other public hearings and meeting to assist in the protection of Raymond's natural resources. As mentioned earlier, membership is an issue. New members are not inevitable; but they are the key to the ConCom. Only through voluntary participation can this ConCom achieve more. The ConCom looks forward to the challenges of protecting and managing our town's natural resources and invites you to join us! Respectfully submitted, Kathleen M. Stockley Chairperson 65 Dudley-Tucker Library Anyone who used the Dudley-Tucker Library during the summer months this year can testify to the success of our Summer Reading Program. During the two-month program, 162 readers read a total of 2,073 books. The readers represented countries participating in the summer Olympics-our winning countries were Spain, gold; Kenya, silver; and Canada, bronze. All participants received special recognition from the library and their school. Space and handicapped accessibility continue to be the primary planning concern for both the library trustees and staff. The trustees are working with the Stewardship Committee (and their conceptual plans for the downtown area) to increase the usable square footage of the library without moving it to a new site. In comparing Raymond to communities of like population (6,001 to 9,000), we rank 12 out of 14 in per capita expenditure, and 11 out of 14 in total appropriation. One telling statistic is the comparison of collection size to circulation. Add to the communities we have already included; such towns as Amherst, Hudson and Windham, and Raymond still comes out #1. We circulate more items for our collection size than any of these libraries. We certainly believe that Raymond residents get the biggest bang for their library dollars. A special thanks to Peter Harney and the Friends of the Library for their ongoing support. 1992 STATISTICS (Increases over 1991) Circulation: Adult 17,126 (17.84% increase) Juvenile 22,061 (28.59% increase) Total 39,187 (23.46% increase) New Patron Registration 548 (13.56% increase) Average Monthly Attendance 1,968 (21.93% increase) New Materials Added to Collections[is 1,122 Respectfully submitted, Sherry Brox Librarian 66 Parks & Recreation Department The year 1992 was one of many successes for the Raymond Parks and Recreation Department. It began with an award from the New Hampshire Department of Resources and Economic Development Land and Water Conservation Fund to install lighting at the Ai S. Welch Athletic Field on Route 107. Many of our programs have continued with their success of past years; aerobics, men's basketball, indoor soccer and volleyball to name just a few. The Raymond Arts Associates have also had another successful season. They received a first place in the New Hampshire Community Theater Association Festival for the best visual concept. As always, youth programs are alive and well in Raymond. There are 450 young baseball players in the RYAA, 375 youth soccer players in the fall league and 160 players in the winter indoor league. Basketball is growing by leaps and bounds with 200 players in the league. This season the addition of a girls' program, a summer program, and a seventh and eighth grade program gave Raymond's young players additional opportunities to play and improve their skills. The success of these programs is due to the help and support of a great many enthused and active volunteers. These people serve the community in many ways and without their help and dedication, these programs would not be as rewarding an experience for the young people who participate. The Rec'n Crew is well-attended by teenagers who are looking for something to do. It was recognized by the New Hampshire Recreation and Park Association with a first place award in a state-wide competition for programming excellence. With 108 teenagers signed up last summer, we hit an all-time record high. With the help of a grant from Rockingham county, we were able to provide teenagers with a fun-filled summer of trips and events. A 27% increase in Summer Playground registrations brought us 100 additional children. The total registration number for the summer program topped 375 with an average daily attendance of 177. The 11 paid staff whose average age is slightly over 18 met the challenge of the overwhelming numbers with a level of competence I would match against any other staff in the state. The Learn-to-Ski Program has continued with its popularity with 90 skiers in the weekly trips to Highlands in Northfield, NH. Utilizing free passes from the State of NH, Division of Parks and Recreation under a special program for young people, skiers in the program travelled to Sunapee State Park on three different days. They also took two day trips as well as a three-day trip during February vacation to Sunday River in Maine. I would like to thank the citizens of the Town of Raymond for their help and support over the past year. Without you, Raymond would not have the Recreation program that it has.

Hoelzel Raymond School District Clerk A true copy of the minutes of the Raymond Special School District Meeting of November 5, 1992. Attest: Linda J. Hoelzel Raymond School District Clerk 102 Raymond School Board It is the duty of the Raymond School Board to provide elementary and secondary education to all pupils who reside in the district. It is also our responsibility to represent the wishes of the people to exercise lay control of educational goals and direction. Since 1989-90 to the 1992-93 school year the school district has lowed the tax by a total of $4.10. Under the direction of Dr. Kenneth Severson, Superintendent, and Mrs. Cheryl Stratchko, Assistant Superintendent, they will continue to watch the budgets closely and to get the best prices possibly without losing quality. One of our major problems in the Raymond School District is space. This year the board took the responsibility to try to find the best solution. To see our situation, one should look at the information on growth and percent of facility use further on in this book. What do we do? We know we can add on to the Lamprey River Elementary School, but that will only help for one year in the other two schools. Should we build a new elementary school which should take care of the district to the year 2000? Is this the time to present a bond to the people? Due to the space problem this year the Raymond School Board voted to stop having ninth grade tuition students at the High School in the 1993-1994 school year. The tuition students already in the High School will phase out over the next three years. At last year's School District meeting, the people voiced their concern about paying rent for the SAU. A committee has visited places to rent and places to buy. After looking around, the committee's goal is to build our own SAU at the High School. The dropout rate in Raymond High School has gone down from the past years. The rate for the 1991-1992 school year is 2 percent compared to 7.7% and 9.63% in the past. More seniors are going on to higher education than in the past. The praise for these two items must go to the staff and the community for giving the students the caring and education they need to stay in school or to go on to further their education. This year the Raymond School Board has tried to keep the residents informed. We have sent out three news letters and have had two public forums. The purpose for the first forum was to open up communication between the residents of Raymond and the Raymond School Board. The purpose of the second forum was to discuss with the residents of Raymond our space needs. I hope the Raymond School Board will continue these forums in the future. At the School District meeting last March the people voted to create a cooperative school district planning committee. This committee has been meeting with other districts to discuss their needs and the needs of a co-operative school district. At the March meeting you will be hearing a report from the committee. For the first time we have a student board member and this is to facilitate the lines of communication with the student body. To be elected to the position, students must follow all the state laws just like a resident of Raymond must when running for a position on the school board. The only difference is, it is done in the schools, and not through the town. The first student Raymond School Board member is Mr. Charles O'Donnell. This year added to our regular meeting agendas are reports from the principals. Each principal is scheduled to come to a meeting on a rotating basis. We have had 103 presentations from faculty members of the schools, results of test scores, and scheduling reports for the up coming year. The policy book of the Raymond School District continued to be reviewed and updated. Many new policies have been added during this year. Thanks to the policy committee for the extra worked you did for the school board. The Raymond School Board would like to take the time to THANK many people in the district. Many of the accomplishments would not have been done without their dedication and hard work. I would like to mention everyone, but I know I would miss a group of people and that I don't want to do. A special THANKS goes out to all who have volunteered their time for the Raymond Schools. A thank you goes out to the Raymond School Board, from myself, for the work you have put in this past year. This is a very young board and a lot had to be learned over the past 12 months. But most of all; a THANK YOU, from the Raymond School Board, to the all Raymond residents for the support of the education for the students of Raymond.

French 105 Superintendent Of Schools The shortage of classroom space continues to be a major problem in the Raymond School System. Maybe this can be interpreted as a compliment to the Town of Raymond as being a good place in which to live and raise a family. Whatever interpretation is made, it doesn't make the problem go away. The Raymond School District has a space crunch in all three of its schools. The Lamprey River Elementary School, which houses pre-school students through the third grade, has the capacity to hold 600 students. It is anticipated that 597 will be enrolled there next fall. The Iber Holmes Gove Middle School, which houses grades four through eight, has a capacity of 625 students. It is anticipated that 749 students will be enrolled there next fall. We are now in the second year of a three year lease of four portable classrooms at the Iber Holmes Gove Middle School. Raymond High School, which houses students in grades nine through twelve, has classroom space for 500 students. It is anticipated that 491 students will be enrolled there next fall. In that some of these students are from surrounding towns which pay tuition to Raymond, the Raymond School Board has notified the surrounding towns that no more of their ninth grade students will be accepted at Raymond High School next fall because Raymond has to take care of the needs of its own students first. Unfortunately, this cuts back on the amount of money which Raymond receives for tuition. It is anticipated that 35 tuition students in grades ten, eleven, and twelve will be in attendance at Raymond High School next fall for which the Raymond School District should receive $178,500. In 1974, Public Law 94-142 was passed by the United States Congress, requiring school districts throughout this country to provide for the educational needs of handicapped students. Some of the costs are provided by the Congress in Washington, D.C., and by the State of New Hampshire. Currently, eighteen percent of our student population has an educational disability; most of these have a specific learning disability or a language disability. Only eighteen students are educated outside of the School District, and most of these are court placements. A few are students with severe and rare handicapping conditions for whom we have no appropriate placement in our District. One major goal for our entire District has been to move toward more inclusion for our disabled youngsters. That is, we wish to educate them in Raymond with their non-disabled peers as much as possible. To that end, we have brought some youngsters who were out of District back, have prevented others from being placed out of District, and have worked on more fully integrating the youngsters who are here into the full life of each school. We believe that all students (both disabled and non-disabled) benefit from learning, working, and growing together in the same environment. We believe they will learn some important lessons, including acceptance and compassion. The High School is the most integrated and has been working on this project the longest. All students at Raymond High School attend regular classes. Special education 106 teachers work with regular education teachers to ensure that the students are properly supported and that classwork is modified as necessary to meet each student's needs. The Iber Holmes Gove Middle School began two new inclusion classrooms this year, one each for 4th and 5th grades, and plans for the 6th grade class are well underway. Each inclusion class consists of 24 students, half of whom are significantly disabled. Each class is taught by a regular education teacher, and is staffed full-time by an aide and half-time by a special education teacher. In addition, all related services, such as speech, physical, and occupational therapies, take place within the classroom. The Elementary School has disbanded all self-contained special education classrooms. All students are now primarily placed in regular classrooms, and are pulled out only for special education services. The pre-school is now partially integrated for the first time this year. Each Tuesday and Thursday, six normally developing youngsters aged 3-5 join our disabled preschoolers to provide appropriate role modeling and companionship. This system seems to be beneficial for all the children involved. The TREE group has been taping texts for students who have great difficulty with reading. We used grants to purchase audiotapes and cassette recorders, and the TREE group rounded up volunteers to read the texts. These tapes are being housed in the libraries at the Middle and High Schools for students to use. These tapes allow disabled students to remain and succeed in the regular classroom with their peers. The project is far from complete at this time, and we could certainly use more volunteer readers. The Special Education Parent Advisory Board was established this year. It consists of parents who have disabled students, plus Assistant Superintendent of Schools, Mrs. Cheryl Stratchko, and our Director of Special Education, Ms. Janeen W. Reich. The purpose of the Board is to give parents a voice in the long-term special education program planning for the District. The Board just recently sent out a survey to parents to get their impressions of the special education needs for the District, and will be surveying the teachers soon. Also new this year is the full-time status of the Home-School Coordinator, a position funded by a grant. Originally this position was intended to focus on drop-outs and potential drop-outs, to support students and to help them make better decisions about their educations. The Home-School Coordinator's role has expanded to helping approximately fifty students and their families in a variety of ways in order to keep students in school. Last March, we underwent an on-site evaluation by the State. The evaluation team consisted of representatives from the Department of Education and a number of educators from several other districts. In general, the on-site team's comments were very positive, and our special education programs received a four-year approval. The Team was very impressed with the caliber and dedication of our teachers, our staff, and our Director of Special Education, and encouraged us to continue our inclusion efforts. The only major citation, which is not easily corrected, involved the limited space for services at the Elementary and Middle Schools. 107 In cooperation with the Town and School Districts Capital Improvement Committee, the Raymond School Board has identified three needs; (1) a new school building or an addition to one of the current schools; (2) a building for School Administrative Unit #33; and (3) conversion of the electrically heated Lamprey River Elementary School to a heating system which uses a cheaper source of fuel. Our teachers continue to improve their teaching techniques by attending courses and workshops. Currently, forty teachers are enrolled afterschool in either a ten week basic course in Cooperative Learning or a six weeks course in Advanced Cooperative Learning taught by our Assistant Superintendent of Schools, Mrs. Cheryl Stratchko. We were sorry this year to lose three of our administrators to other school districts, with salaries higher than those of the principals currently employed in Raymond. Two of our assistant principals left us to become principals in other districts and our high school principal left us to serve as a principal in another high school in New Hampshire. An african proverb states that it takes a whole village to raise a single child. If we are to create quality schools for our children, an effort must be made by our total community. We are fortunate to have numerous parents and others in Raymond who contribute their time and effort to help our young people grow. It is only by people working together that we can provide good schools, which in turn can assist greatly in creating the type of community in which we all like to live. Respectfully submitted, Dr. Kenneth Severson Superintendent of Schools 108 Lamprey River Elementary School Your children's accomplishments are a constant source of delight and pleasure. Their letters found their way to our servicemen in Somalia and to pen pals throughout our nation. A science lesson grew into an entrepreneurial venture called "Rock's R Us - A Unique Rock Company". The clinking sound of 72,930 pennies cascading into five- gallon plastic pails changed to a freshet of dollars used to keep the Raymond Community Action Program's Food Pantry stocked throughout the year. Young Authors' Teas featured nervous but proud readings of original stories such as "When My Lunch Came to Life" and "The Snow Child". A castle, complete with lords and ladies, grew right in the middle of the classroom. Santa couldn't miss finding each child's home with the directions first graders wrote guiding his every move. Award winning art projects were proudly displayed at Deerfield Fair, during Old Home Week, and decked our halls all the school year. We listened to the entrancing performance of "Mostly Mozart" and "Bells" performed by our third graders. Flowers and trees were planted including a specimen from the dinosaur days - a Ginkgo. The first ever celebration of literacy began with a pot-luck supper on St. Patrick's Day and ended on a dreamy spring night with a program of songs and choral readings. The children were terrific. In one way or another, this potpourri of accomplishment rests on a solid diet of basics. The kids weren't exactly elated to see the Metropolitan Achievement Tests hailing them when they returned from spring break. For a week straight our first, second, and third graders bubbled in answer after answer on math, reading, science, language, and social studies tests. Even I was pleased to bid them a fond adieu as we loaded the answer documents on the truck headed for the scoring service. How did we do? Well, our average score on the complete battery in grade one was equal to or better than 75% of their peers in the national sample. The second grade average score on the complete battery was equal to or better than 71% of the national sample, and our third grade average score was equal to or better than 77% of the national sample. These tests, by the way, were obtained by our Assistant Superintendent, Mrs. Cheryl Stratchko, at no cost to the school district. The kids did all right, too. These test results, the science fairs, the books children publish, and all the rest, are positive thanks to dedicated and talented teachers who give their best each day. Our teachers expect children to learn, create appealing and caring classrooms, and contribute countless unseen hours to provide your children with opportunities which challenge, motivate, and create enthusiasm for learning. They are also a first-rate group of professionals who are a pleasure to work with each day. Schools do not exist in isolation. Expectations are high. So are the demands and challenges which walk through the schoolhouse doors each day. Volunteers play a vibrant and diverse role in the school helping to enrich the lives of children in so many different ways. Some take pictures of kids with Santa; others off-load a truck filled with fund raiser products, and many have given up a Saturday morning to shovel sand on the playground. Volunteers have baked for class parties, tutored children, saved soup labels 109 served on committees, planned assembly programs, wrapped presents at Santa's Secret Store, worked as reading moms, and literally, contribute thousands of hours to the school every year. Thanks to all of you, Lamprey River Elementary School received the Blue Ribbon School Achievement Award for its outstanding parent involvement for the third year in a row. This icing on the cake is presented annually by the New Hampshire Partners in Education to those schools in New Hampshire who meet their strict criteria. Thank you. The energy, time, and talent that members of the LRES PTO contribute to the school is remarkable. The PTO organizes the volunteer program, does the Call-in Program, provides excellent assembly programs for kids such as "Slim Goodbody," "Peanutbutterjam," and Dan Grady's Marvelous Marionettes. At the PTO sponsored Awards Night, the efforts of over 100 students are recognizes. Thanks to the fund raising efforts, there are new slides on the playground, more extensive mini libraries in our classrooms, additional listening stations in the media center, and a bookbinding machine. They operate Santa's Secret Store, conduct tours of the school, save soup labels, sponsor Spirit Week, and provide programs for parents. Their contributions contribute significantly to the lively and vivacious life of the children at Lamprey River Elementary. While we are justly proud of our students, their accomplishments, and the school, we know that neither the children nor the school can stand successfully without the community's continued involvement and support. Respectfully submitted, Roderick D. Crepeau Principal no Iber Holmes Gove Middle School At the beginning of the current year, Mr. Frank Flood, our assistant principal since 1989, was elected to a principalship in a neighboring school district. Mr. Flood, an intelligent and talented administrator, effected many positive and needed changes to our school. We thank him for his contributions and wish him well. Immediately following Mr. Flood's departure we were able to secure the services of H. Wilson Eaves, a retired school administrator, who served as interim assistant principal with distinction. We are delighted to have hired William Hagen, formerly of the Pelham School District, to be our new assistant principal. Perhaps our most important recent curriculum development has taken place in special education. For a long time it has been customary to remove special education students from their regular classroom to receive special education services. We began to reverse this process approximately two years ago. This year we have created two classrooms, one in grade 4, and one in grade 5, in which the special education students receive all of their special education services in their regular classroom. Each of these classes has been an enormous success. This Spring during the week of April 19th many of our 6th grade students will journey to Nature's Classroom in Sandwich, MA and our 8th graders will have the opportunity to travel to Washington, D.C. Both trips are long established traditions. No school district funds are used at present to finance any portions of these valuable trips. We wish to thank everyone who has supported our fundraising activities which raise money to support them. Last year at this time we were faced with the prospect of eliminating co-curricular activities and advanced math and science courses for this school year. Fortunately, the school district meeting supported the restoration of these admirable programs. This is the first chance we have had to thank the adults and students who publicly supported this action. We are most grateful. Once again we wish to express our gratitude to our Parent Core Group for support and kindnesses too numerous to mention. Our major problem is still the lack of space. Because of increasing enrollment we need two additional portable classrooms for next year. This June we will graduate 1 24 eighth grade students. In September we will admit approximately 180 fourth grade students. This represents an increase of 56. Right now we are using every bit of space. We cannot accommodate 56 students (2 classes) without 2 additional classrooms. Wonderful things continue to happen at our school. In addition to our new special education programs and our advanced placement courses, student achievement, as measured by standardized tests, continues to grow. We have a fine teaching staff. Most importantly, it is a pleasure for us to educate and work with your fine children. Respectfully submitted, Edward W. Donovan Principal 111 Raymond High School It has been my viewpoint that in addressing the problems of education, we should not blame a lack of resources for our perceived shortcomings. Placing blame here does not bring us closer to a solution and a solution is what I am seeking. Raymond High School has been trying to do more with less for some rime. The statistics which best illustrate this point compare our student-teacher ratio. In the 1988- 1989 school year we employed 37 teachers and had a September student enrollment of 368 students. In the 1992-1993 school year we had 32 2/5 teachers at the high school with a September enrollment of 475 students. This translates into a 12.5% decrease in teaching staff and a 29% increase in student enrollment. As much as I feel that blaming a lack of resources is a scapegoat in solving problems in education, there is a point at which we must address the inequity of this situation and that time is during consideration of the school budget at the school district meeting. The facts which convinced the school board to put teaching personnel back into the budget include the following information: 1. More than one third of the high school faculty are teaching six instructional periods a day. This is a burnout situation for these staff members because of the difficulty of adequately preparing for, teaching and grading student work for six classes a dav. 2. Raymond High School does not meet state standards of approval for our guidance staff. The state guideline is one counselor for each 300 students. We have one counselor for 470+ students. Our current guidance counselor. Mr. Bryan Lister, is a committed and experienced individual who has done a fine job with those tasks he has been able to address but the job is beyond any one individual. It encompasses student scheduling, academic difficulties, personal counseling, college and career inquiries, crisis situations, student-to-student conflicts, testing, scholarship applications, financial aid and vocational school coordination to name but a few of the tasks associated with the job. 3. Seventeen classes do not meet state regulations due to excessive class sizes. any of our science classes are overcrowded because there are more students in the class than :here are lab stations. This can create a dangerous situation when students are dealing with chemicals and open flames in an overcrowded setting. In our physical education classes, we have student aides helping referee games but we still find the student injury rate has increased and we have no supervision of the girl's locker room with just one male teacher. In most other mainstream courses, we have large classes of between 25 and 30 students. Tris creates serious difficulty for our committed teachers who assign ambitious writing projects, journals and complex, real world problems to solve. There simply Isn't enough time in the day to prepare classwork, teach, and grade complex task assignments en the s rodent-teacher ratio is out of balance. 4. In order to offer the diversity of math offerings that meet the needs of our s:ude-:s. we have had to :::er a 5era:r Algebra and Trigonometry course durir.g :he same period with the same teacher that "General Math" is taught. 112 5. Raymond continues to lose good programs that provided needed enrichment to our students. This year was the first that the SEARCH program was cut so no high school students were offered the opportunity to attend the University of New Hampshire's seminars for advanced high school students. Along with Search, we have also lost winter track, boys and girls cross country and the student newspaper as co- curricular activities that were once a part of the Raymond High School program. The foregoing rationale is not set forth to say that Raymond High School is doing a less than adequate job in the role of education Raymond students. Instead, it is put forth as the information needed by the informed voter who wishes to prevent the deterioration of some very fine educational programs and curricula. The progress of programs, curricula and training at Raymond High School has been significant during the last year. One of the most fundamental successes that came out of the S.I. P. ("School Improvement Program") team has been the Raymond Advocacy Program (R.A.P.). We are in the middle of our second year of this teacher-advisor program and the results have been very positive. For ten minutes each day, a group of approximately 1 2 students will meet with a teacher or responsible adult. A variety of programs and discussions go on during this time each day but the focus is simply touching base with a responsible adult. The idea is that each advisor is responsible for shepherding these advisees through their high school career. One piece of information that we believe to be linked with this program is the significant lowering of Raymond High School's dropout rate. In 1990-1991, before the program was begun, we had a 7.7% dropout rate. DURING THE LAST YEAR WITH THE INITIATION OF THE RAP PROGRAM WE LOWERED THE DROPOUT RATE TO 2.0%!! There are a number of other programs offered at Raymond High School that continue to reap rewards for our students. This is the sixth year in which the high school and elementary school students have worked together very successfully in the "Amigos" program. On Friday afternoons the thirty high school Amigos go to the elementary school to meet their elementary Amigos. The students engage in writing exercises, tutoring activities, and a variety of indoor and outdoor activities. The high school students are carefully selected as they serve as role models and companions for their young associates. The 1992-93 school year is the third year in a row that our math teachers have offered a "math lab" after school on Tuesday through Friday until 3:00 p.m. This gives those students having difficulty with their mathematics courses an opportunity to work with their teachers in a tutorial setting so they have every opportunity for success. Mr. Floyd, the curriculum director for the mathematics department, has also been successful in applying for a Federal Eisenhower Grant which has provided training for our teachers in cooperative learning, the use of manipulatives in teaching mathematics, and up to date knowledge about current teaching practices from the "National Council of Teachers of Mathematics" standards. Again this year the Raymond High School Guidance Department sponsored a series of career days which are scheduled each month. We've been able to offer a career 113 awareness project through the generosity of the Boy Scouts of America and the United Way. Mr. Lister, our Guidance Director deserves the credit for maintaining this important activity when funding through traditional means was no longer available. Raymond High School's participation in the New Hampshire Alliance for Effective Schools "School Improvement Program" (S.I. P.) was a three year project with state funding that ended officially at the end of the 1991-92 school year. Those of us who are part of the program, however, believe that it is the best vehicle for addressing issues of school restructuring in the district. For this reason, we are determined to continue in our quest for school improvement and the makeup of the committee (which consists of a school board member, community representatives, teachers, administration and students) allows for a broad scope of input and support. Our most recent action plans have focused on the introduction of a "Tech-prep" program at Raymond High School and a "Community Service" project for academic credit. Another significant success during the 1992-1993 school year has been the initiation of a new heterogeneously grouped high school English curriculum. For Sophomores through Seniors we are offering semester courses in American Literature, Myths and Legends, Children's Literature, British Literature, World Literature, Sports Literature, Gender Race and Class, Short Fiction, Science Fiction, Fiction Writing, Drama, Speech and Debate, Non-Fiction Writing, and Shakespeare. The heterogeneous grouping in these courses provides a challenging curriculum to all in attendance and the semester format and diversity of courses allows students to take English courses as electives for the first time! The challenge which is before us is how Raymond High School can best prepare our students for the post-industrial economic age. How can we continue to integrate technology into our curriculum so that our graduates are better prepared for the work opportunities of the twenty-first century? At present, we have attacked this problem by assembling a technology committee which is addressing issues related to the best use of available resources. This committee is also developing a three year plan for the updating of curricula, software, training and hardware so that our students are better prepared for available careers and further education. I have spoken so far about the progress and challenges which are before us. I would like to conclude on a more personal note. I am honored to be chosen by the Raymond School Board as the principal of the high school. I have worked in the educational interests of the students and the townspeople since 1976 when I was first hired to teach in your school system. I am committed to the creation of a student- centered institution which honors learning and works hard to attain the highest achievement from each member of our student body and faculty. I thank you for giving me the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of Raymond's youth. Respectfully submitted, Christopher L. George Principal 114 School Lunch Report Life in the Raymond School Lunch Program has not been nearly as exciting as it has been in the rest of the world this year, but, for me, it has been interesting and informative. My first year as a school lunch director certainly had its ups and downs, and now, looking back, it is amazing how quickly it was over, and the new one beginning. Two of last year's goals were realized in 1992. The first was a recognizable improvement in the variety and quality of the food served. I lost some of my idealism and finally realized that the student population would rather eat chicken nuggets or pizza every day, but I refused to give in to the pressure and still wrote menus that contained such time-honored dishes as Beef Stew, Shepherd's Pie and Tuna Noodle Casserole. These "comfort foods" may not sell quite as well as a hamburger, but they are warm and nutritious and, hopefully, they encourage our young people to try new foods they would not otherwise eat. We are making much better use of federally donated food commodities and, at the same time, trying to limit amounts of fat to the recommended daily allowances. Making some items from scratch rather than using processed foods help us to keep an eye on the nutritional values of the foods served. The second goal that was achieved was the expansion of the Breakfast Program at the Middle and High Schools. We have added many new items to the menu including hot offerings such as Sausage & Cheese Biscuit Pizza, Chourros-a Mexican-style donut, and our own scrambled egg and cheese muffin sandwich. On an average day, approximately 300 students start their day with one of our full breakfast meals and countless others at least have a juice or milk. Our efforts were recognized when we were ranked 7th in the state behind such districts as Concord and Manchester in the size of our breakfast program. I would still like to see a breakfast program instituted at the elementary school as well and will continue to work within the system toward this eventuality. The program served over 175,000 lunches last year which worked out to mean that approximately 60% of the student population avail themselves of the school lunch. This year we will certainly continue working within the standards we set for ourselves last year. I would like to develop updated job descriptions for all the food service workers and a main concern of mine will be to foster a good working relationship with the newly formed classified staff union. As always, we feel we are doing our best to make sure that all our young people are healthy, motivated and ready to learn. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any comments or concerns. We all appreciate your continued support. Respectfully submitted, Susan A.

We have also audited the School District's compliance with requirements applicable to nonmajor Federal financial assistance program and have issued our report thereon dated September 11, 1992. We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards; Government Auditing Standards , issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; and Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-128, Audit of State and Local Governments . Those standards and OMB Circular A-128 require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the general purpose financial statements are free of material misstatement and about whether the School District complied with laws and regulations, noncompliance with which would be material to a Federal financial assistance program. In planning and performing our audit for the year ended June 30, 1992, we considered the School District's internal control structure in order to determine our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the School District's general purpose financial statements and on its compliance with requirements applicable to Federal financial assistance programs and not to provide assurance on the internal control structure. The management of the Raymond School District is responsible for establishing and maintaining an internal control structure. In fulfilling this responsibility, estimates and judgements by management are required to assess the expected benefits and related costs of internal control structure policies and procedures. The objectives of an internal control structure are to provide management with reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that assets are safeguarded against loss from unauthorized use or disposition, that transactions are executed in accordance with management's authorization and recorded properly to permit the preparation of general purpose financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that Federal financial assistance programs are managed in compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Because of inherent limitation in any internal control structure, errors, irregularities, or instances of noncompliance may nevertheless occur and not be detected. Also, projection of any evaluation of the structure to future periods is subject to the risk that procedures may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the effectiveness of the design and operation of policies and procedures may deteriorate. For the purpose of this report, we have classified the significant internal control structure policies and procedure in the following categories: Accounting Controls Budgeting Cycle Payroll Cycle Expenditure (other than payroll) Cycle 123 Data Processing Cycle Revenue Cycle Financial Reporting Cycle General Requirements Political Activity Civil Rights Cash Management Federal Financial Reports Allowable Costs/Cost Principles Drug-free Workplace Adrninistration Requirements Specific Requirements Types of Services Eligibility Matching, Level of Effort, or Earmarking Reporting Claims for Advances and Reimbursements Amounts Claimed or Used for Matching For all of the internal control structure categories listed above, we obtained an understanding of the design of relevant policies and procedures and determined whether they have been placed in operation, and we assessed control risk. During the year ended June 30, 1992, the Raymond School District had no major Federal financial assistance programs and expended 58% of its total Federal financial assistance under the following nonmajor Federal financial assistance programs: National School Lunch Program Special Education - State Grants (Part B, Individuals with Disabilities Education Act) We performed tests of controls, as required by OMB Circular A-128, to evaluate the effectiveness of the design and operation of internal control structure policies and procedures that we have considered relevant to preventing or detecting material noncompliance with specific requirements, general requirements, and requirements governing claims for advances and reimbursements that are applicable to the aforementioned nonmajor programs. Our procedures were less in scope that would be necessary to render an opinion on these internal control structure policies and^- procedures. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. 124 Reportable conditions involve matters coming to our attention relating to significant deficiencies in the design or operation of the internal control structure that, in our judgement, could adversely affect the School District's ability to record, process, summarize, and report financial data consistent with the assertions of management in the general purpose financial statements or to administer Federal financial assistance programs in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. A material weakness is a reportable condition in which the design or operation of one or more of the internal control structure elements does not reduce to a relatively low level the risk that errors or irregularities in amounts that would be material in relation to the general purpose financial statements being audited, or that noncompliance with laws and regulations that would be material to a Federal financial assistance program may occur and not be detected within a timely period by employees in the normal course of performing their assigned functions. Our consideration of the internal control structure would not necessarily disclose all matters in the internal control structure that might be reportable conditions and, accordingly, would not necessarily disclose all reportable conditions that are also considered to be material weaknesses as defined above. We noted no matters involving the internal control structure and its operation that we consider to be material weaknesses defined above. This report is intended for the information of management and the applicable State and Federal agencies. This restriction is not intended to limit the distribution of this report which is a matter of public record.
