Annual Report of the Town of Madison, New Hampshire /V/faitramp mh 3D0& Annual Report Town of Madison, NH FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING DECEMBER31 2008 // Twilight on Silver Lake (Front cover oil painting by Ruth Shackford in 2001) About the Artist Ruth Shackford has lived in Madison all her life. She married Bud Shackford in 1947 and raised five children, all of whom reside in Madison. Ruth and Bud ran Lucky Boy Farm on High Street, along with an excavation business, for over 30 years. Ruth later worked for the US Postal Service, first at Silver Lake then up to Conway, retiring in 1990 after 20 years. Ruth started painting after her retirement; joining a weekly group of painters in Ossipee whose company and expertise increased her love of painting. Ruth also paints scenes on wooden napkin holders made by Bud and Christmas ornaments. Bud also builds the oak frames that display Ruth's paintings, making the end result a team effort. She can be found selling her work at the annual Elementary School and Old Home Week craft fairs. Ruth's talents extend beyond painting. She bakes and decorates cakes for the annual Church Donation; many years her cakes have sold for over $100. She has also prepared wedding and special occasion cakes for family members. She puts a lot of time and effort into everything she creates and likes painting because it allows her to make non-edible creations that last. She enjoys cooking for her whole family and teaching the younger ones her secrets. She also mends everyone's hard-to-part-with clothing items. Her family presently consists of six grandchildren (all but one lives in Madison) and six great-grandchildren. She has a smile on her face and is a friend to everyone who meets her. Many of her pieces decorate the walls at Town Hall. Thank you, Ruth, for sharing your artwork with the Town. 2009 Town Report Cover Contest The Library held a very successful photo contest during 2008 Old Home Week and will hold another in 2009. All residents and taxpayers of Madison, NH are invited to submit a photograph taken in Madison. The winner's photograph will be featured on the cover of the 2009 Town Report. Check the Library's website in June for contest rules. In Memoriam We dedicate the 2008 Annual Report to Larry Shanks and Bud Colcord who passed away in 2008. It was a pleasure to have known and worked with Larry over the years. Larry was hired in Octo- ber 2005 as the Town Mechanic and part of the Highway crew. He also worked for the town as a volunteer for numerous years prior to joining the town employee family. He served on the Parks & Recreation Committee not only as a member who came to the meetings regularly but as a community member who took pride in the Town of Madison. Many times he would take it upon himself to pick up the trash left on the beaches or ballfields, fix the raft that had been mangled by overzealous swim- mers, paint a building that had undesirable graffiti art on it or just help out in the events of the Rec pro- gram. He was well known for displaying his yellow antique truck in the Old Home Week parade with a gang of kids in the back. Larry was very instrumental in updating the "Madison Garage" to a municipal service facility which helped save many thousands of tax dollars by servicing our vehicles in-house. The office staff deeply misses his smile and daily joke be it delivered via email on in person, and the highway crew has opted to keep his radio call number unassigned to honor their coworker and friend. Larry's passing was unexpected and he is deeply missed. It was an honor to have known Bud - whether it be as a relative, friend, co-worker, fellow volun- teer or community member. He brought much to the community of Madison over the years-- -serving on the Fire Department for 54 years in a number of official capacities including Fire Chief, Deputy Chief and Fire Warden. Bud also assisted in the coordination of the Ossipee Val- ley Mutual Aid Association. Bud was a quiet gentle man with strong hands and the tenacity to get the job done. He shared with many his vast knowledge of how things were, be it in the gar- den, driving a vehicle or in the workshop, helping his neighbors and the community. Bud had the ability and patience to transform an old wooden piece of furniture that looked about ready to use as kindling back to its original state of beauty. Bud worked his magic on a few pieces at Town Hall, the Code Enforcement Officer's desk, the hallway table and the outdoor benches are a few of his many accomplishments in restoring the beauty of furniture. Bud is missed dearly. While their passing is a loss for the town, their contributions to the community will live on for many years to come and their dedication is greatly appreciated. 2008 Annual Report 2 Town of Madison, New Hampshire TABLE OF CONTENTS Archival Vault Project Report 47 Auditors Report 28 Budget Committee Report 131 Budget of the Town (MS-6) 63 Capital Improvement Program 124 Code Enforcement Officer's Report 104 Comparative Statement of Appropriations and Expenditure 53 Conservation Commission Report 90 District One Report 122 Fire and Rescue Report 96 Forest Fire Warden and State Forest Ranger Report 97 Heritage Report 91 Historical Society 121 Library Report 106 Medstar EMS Activities Report 99 Meeting Procedures 8 Minutes of Town Meeting March 11, 2008 9 MWV Economic Council 100 NH Community Profile 101 Old Home Week Committee Report 119 Parks and Recreation Department Report 117 Planning Board Report 118 Police Chief's Report 92 Road Agent Report 114 Revised Estimated Revenues (MS-4) 29 Selectmen's Report 51 Silver Lake Association of Madison Report 115 Statement of Appropriation (MS-2) 94 Summary Inventory of Valuation (MS-1) 70 Tax Collector's Report 35 Tax Rate Calculation -2008 31 Town Officers 5 Town Clerk's Report 29 Treasurer's Report 78 Trustees of the Trust Funds Report (MS9) 69 Veterans Monument Committee 130 Village District of Eidelweiss 113 Vital Statistics 48 Wage and Benefit Information for Employees 61 Warrant 135 Zoning Board of Adjustment 124 2008 Annual Report 4 Town of Madison, New Hampshire Town of Madison Officials SELECTMEN FIRE COMMISSIONERS John Arruda, Chair - 2009 James F.
