However, we were unable to improve the value of the funds as we remained in a cash position during the year. With fluctuating interest rates at the current time, our future yields are difficult to project. Our goal is to create a proper balance between income and capital gain so as to realize a good return while improving the value of our funds through sound investment. It is only through such long range planning that we can off-set the annual impact of inflation and insure the present and future financial benefits to the Town. This is, in our opinion, the desire of the people who established these Trust Funds.

FIRE DEPARTMENT ACTIVITIES Last year at the town meeting, David Walker was elected to the Business Inspections 20 Board of Fire Wardens. David has since moved from town and had Oil Burner Inspections 39 his position on board. The Selectmen appointed to resign the Woodstove/Chimney Donald Mooney to fill this position on the board.

Currently the members are: School Inspections 8 Peter Jenkins, Chairman, Gossett McRae, Donald Girard, Marcel Training Hours 2,728 Yergeau and Donald Mooney. At the 1 981 Town Meeting, the citizens voted to purchase a new fire truck and municipal alarm system. At this writing, the new pumper, aerial ladder truck has been delivered. We are currently training with this vehicle. This truck will operate from the Pinardville station and shall go into service in January. The alarm system includes a new transmitter in the village station, alarm cable from East Union Street to the traffic lights at Pinard Street and Mast Road, and a receiver to be installed at the communications center in the Town Hall. This receiver also includes a computer to store response information for the dispatcher. The cost of the new truck was $1 98,800 and purchased from the American LaFrance Com- pany. $200,000 had been approved at town meeting. The alarm system was purchased from L. W. Bills Company for $23,6 1 5 which was the appropriated amount. The Fire Department is in need of call firefighters. There is especially a need for those who are available during the hours of 7:30 AM to 5:00 PM. Anyone interested in serving the community should feel free to contact me at the village fire station during the week by calling 497-361 9. The Emergency Medical Services continue to be financially maintained by the Goffstown Emergency Medical Services Asso- ciation. The operating cost of $4094.32 was reimbursed to the town by this organization. GEMSA receives contributions from people who have used the services of the Goffstown Fire Depart- ment for medical problems, people making outright contributions, and organizations and businesses donating to a vital service within our community. The Fire Department wishes to thank the citizens, the Board of Selectmen, Budget Committee, other town departments, and the families of the firefighters and emergency medical technicians for their support through the year.

This slogan has been the motto of the N.H. Division of Forests and Lands, Forest Fire Service since 1909 when the first forest fire laws were passed by the Legislature. These laws set in place a cooperative forest fire protection program of State and local forest fire personnel that has, in the past 75 years, established New Hampshire as a leader in forest fire prevention and control. Our annual acreage loss to forest fires of one-half acre per fire is the best in the nation. This fire record has come about through the cooperative efforts of our state/town forest fire protection prog ram. The state provides detection of fires, training for local forest fire wardens, low cost forest fire suppres- sion equipment to local fire departments, and technical advice at the fire ground. Local governments provide the volunteer fire fighters who are appointed as wardens and deputy wardens and who re- spond quickly to suppress reported forest fires. This program has resulted in a steady decline in annual acres lost to forest fires since 1910 when the average fire burned 33 acres compared to the modern day loss of one-half acre per fire. Only by the continued cooperation of the State/towns and our entire citizenry can this record be maintained. 1 982 STATISTICS State District City/Town No. of Fires 391 45 17 1982 American LaFrance combination No. of Acres 161% 17.3 2 pumper-ladder —30— Police Department The police department received a total of 6,848 complaints PROGRAMS during 1982, versus 6,671 in 1981.

We have completed 54 units and one which could not be counted, but was allowed, at an average cost of $4567.16 per unit. The program goal set by HUD was to rehabilitate 46 units at an average cost of $5000 per unit. The committee and staff are very pleased with the results, since we exceeded HUD requirements. The program will be audited privately on or about February 15, with a HUD audit to take place shortly thereafter. The Committee would like to take this opportunity to thank the staff for a job well done, and also to thank Mrs. Gage who kept the accounting straight and Jim Tethers of the Southern New Hampshire Planning Commission for his sound advice.

Special meetings are held as required and as published in the Goffstown News. The year 1 982 was a rather slow one as far as variances and special exceptions were concerned. The recession and the high cost of money has caused a slowdown in the building industry, and thus a slowdown in the number of hearings. There have been a few cases in which the Board has tried to act in the best interest of the Town, and as a consequence, the Town is now engaged in legal action. We hope that these will be settled to the Town's benefit. We would like you to be aware of the procedure for bringing a petition to the Board. The petition must include a plot plan and a drawing of the proposed structure. Without these, the Board will not be able to act and the petition will be delayed. Town residents are urged to attend our meetings and to voice opinions on the petitions before us. Further information may be obtained from the Building Official's office, or by calling any Board member.

Conservation Commission Once again the members of the Conservation Commission have had to devote much time to the pending litigation concerning timber trespass on the mountain. However, such efforts are worth the time when one realizes that the Uncanoonuc Mountains are one of Goffstown's greatest natural assets. Recreational use of the mountain has been discussed with the Selectmen and the Commission is presently working on a plan to develop a trail system for hiking and cross-country skiing. As the proposed trails offer some excellent views of Goffstown, we hope to be able to combine both the natural aspects of the trail with some of the historical sites which can be seen from the mountain. Once again, we would like to remind citizens that we are always willing to advise and assist any landowner who wishes to preserve private open space through donation of land to the Conservation Commission; granting of conservation easements, or other techniques of open space preservation.

The firm of Whitman & Howard completed their in-depth study of the existing system and recommended work that should be completed in the future, some of which will be performed during the year 1983. They also recommended that the Precinct continue to Polly Pig the water mains. The goal of the Board of Water Commissioners is to provide safe drinking water and to continue to improve the system. The Engineering report contains many suggestions that will allow the Board to achieve these goals. Water usage for the year 1982 totalled 56,862,225 gallons. There were seven breaks, eight freeze ups and forty-four meters replaced. A. Kenneth Hambleton was an active member of the Board for many years. At the time of his death he was an Honorary member. His dedication to the Goffstown Village Precinct has been and will be missed in the future. Respectfully submitted, James P. Ackerman, Chairman WATER MAIN CLEANING In August of 1982 the Water Department with the help of Veino Excavating and the crew at Medford Farms cleaned 3,000 ft. of water main in Parker Station. We would like to apologize for the problems with rust and thank the people that were directly affected. They were very patient with us. The results of this cleaning were very good. We brought a 6" water main which became a 3" back to a 6" main again. Also, a fire hydrant which was getting 250 gals, a minute is now getting 500 gals, per minute. I would like to thank the Goffstown Highway Department and Fire and Police Departments for their help. I would also like to thank Brad Veino for all his help in the last 10 years. Now that Brad has moved away I would like to welcome Roger Bernard of Medford Farms who will be helping us out. We will be continuing our efforts to overcome the rust problems in the affected areas. We hope to continue cleaning the mains as this is much less expensive than replacement. Keith Moore, Supt.

Our examination was made in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and accordingly, included such tests of the accounting records and such other auditing procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. As is the general practice with many New Hampshire muni- cipalities, the Goffstown School District has not maintained a record of its general fixed assets and accordingly, a statement of general fixed assets, required by generally accepted accounting principles, is not included in this financial report. In our opinion, except that the omission of the financial state- ments described above results in an incomplete presentation, as explained in the preceding paragraph, the combined financial state- ments referred to above present fairly the financial position of the Goffstown School District as at J une 30, 1 982 and the results of its operations for the year then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a basis consistent with that of the preceding year. Our examination was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the combined financial statements taken as a whole. The supporting schedules listed in the index are presented for the purposes of additonal analysis and are not a required part of the purposes of additional statements of the Goffstown School District. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the examination of the combined financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the combined financial statements taken as a whole.

This will involve teachers and principals receiving guides to work with the specific grades and being trained in a six hour session. The teachers trained will use this program a minimum of one hour per week for thirty weeks. Monthly logs of activities are com- pleted and sent to the program developer. Students will be ad- ministered a pre and post test to determ ine the effectiveness of the program. Gifted Education — Under a block grant we have initiated a pilot program to make educational provisions for gifted students within the classroom. Selected teachers from all schools attended sessions which were presented by Wilma Sherman, who is our Education Consult- ant working in the area of Gifted Education. In these sessions we developed an instrument which will be used for the purpose of identifying students who are gifted. When we have determined the students we classify as gifted, programs will be planned within the framework of the classroom to provide enrichment activities for these students. These programs could be for students on an individual basis or for a group of students who have similar areas of giftedness. We hope this program to be an initial step in the direction of having programs available for the stu- dents who display talents and abilities above average students. At present, in the schools we provide quite well for those stu- dents with average and below average capabilities. We hope this program will make provisions for the more gifted students, who at this time, do not have the alternatives available to them that other students do. Programs of this type are an attempt to serve all students in the best possible manner. Math Curriculum — This year in the Elementary School we will be doing a Math Curriculum study. Each year in sequence, we do one of the five subject areas. This committee will have four members from each of the grade levels, one through six. The committee members will represent the elementary schools of Goffstown, New Boston, Dunbarton and Weare. -61- Public Schools' Reports GOFFSTOWN AREA JUNIOR/SENIOR school curriculum an opportunity to succeed.

This latter responsibility is one that many of us William H. Marston feel critical to the success of the public school process. The needs Principal of our students and the expectations of the communities require us to meet the challenge. During the past year-and-a-half as your principal, I have joined with the faculty in helping to narrow the disparity between some practices and programs and the things we say are important for all students. I believe we have made some very measurable progress. This school year has seen the introduction of the Title I Reading Rotation Program which helps 1 20 eighth and ninth graders who have identifiable reading problems. We are excited about the success of the program and wish to involve seventh graders next year. A special thanks to Mrs. O'Reilly at the Central Office for helping to make this program available for our students. The be- havioral code governing student participation in school sponsored activities was reviewed, expanded and clarified with the help of members of our faculty, student body and school board. Attendance procedures have been improved and the results to date, most gratifying. The special education program has been completely re- organized with the help of the special education faculty and the expectation is that the academic needs of these students will be better served. Recently, an alternative program was initiated that provides students who cannot meet the requirement of the regular —62- Public Schools' Report GOFFSTOWN ANNUAL SCHOOL HEALTH REPORT All students through grade eight are given an opportunity to participate in the school dental health conference sponsored by September 1 981 - June 1 982 the New Hampshire Bureau of Dental Health and the local Mothers' Clubs.
