CONSERVATION COMMISSION REPORT 1983

1983 was another busy year for the Kingston Conser-

vation Commission, and also another year of changes. Weare now part of the building permit process, reviewing each

application with regard to the Wetlands Conservation Dis-

trict regulations. Review and inspection of new sub-divisions

with the Planning Board continues, as well as contributing

to some Board of Adjustment cases. The Forest ManagementProgram is in full swing. Planned timber cuts have been

completed, and surveying and marking of another portion

of Town Forest off Thome Road is under way. Another 500

trees were planted in the old clear-cut area of Town property

on Dorre Road, with some help from local Boy Scouts. Wewere again able to sponsor another Kingston youth for Con-

servation Camp.Gravel pits were reviewed and test pits observed to de-

termine water table levels, as required by NHS statutes. At

the request of the Board of Selectmen, the KCC continued

to monitor all active gravel pits for compliance with TownOrdinance, reported any violations, and in some cases rec-

ommended that Cease and Desist Orders be issued by

Selectmen for lack of proper plans in addition to other viola-

tions. A number of minor Dredge and Fill projects were re-

viewed and approved, some with limitations, followed in each

case with a written report to the NHS Wetlands Board.

We are pleased to contribute to the Town Master Plan,

particularly the "Open Space and Recreation" section. In

conjunction with this section, we are currently completing

inventories of Town properties, private properties now in

Current Use status, and Wetlands, to be used for future

planning. KCC members attended several conferences onsolid waste districts, recycling. Prime Wetlands identification

and protection, and the annual meeting of theNH Association

of Conservation Commissions at which there was discussion

of new legislation, gravel pits, and methods of preserving

agricultural land and open space.

The KCC plans to continue with the Forest ManagementProgram, to complete the land inventories and makeProgram, to complete the land inventories and make rec-

ommendations for future land use, and focus on water quality

issues. As development increases, more stress is placed onthe natural capabilities of the land to collect, control and

purify water. We hope to encourage wise land use and

develop aquifer protection and preservation of some Prime

Wetlands.

We welcome your interest and participation in our pro-

jects. The KCC will meet every 2nd and 4th Wednesday at

7:30 P.M. We have ambitious plans for the coming year, and

would like to have additional people to help with specialized

HISTORIC DISTRICT COMMISSIONANNUAL REPORT

1983 continued to show an increase in activity for the

Historic District Commission: 21 Applications were received

and acted upon during 11 regular and 4 special meetings.

In addition, a great deal of time was spent in rewriting

and revising the Rules and Regulations. The updated form

should provide more helpful and definitive guidelines for

both the homeowner and the Commission.

Thanks to Lynn Monroe of the Rockingham Regional

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE FAMILY MEDIATIONPROGRAM SERVING SOUTHERN

ROCKINGHAM COUNTY

The Family Mediation Program serving Southern Rock-

ingham County, has gone through many positive changes

over the last six months. Originated as the Plaistow-Kingston

Mediation Program, and funded solely through those Towns,

the Program, has gained the respect and recognition of other

Towns within the Southern Rockingham County Court Dis-

trict, and has officially been registered with the State of NewHampshire as a "nonprofit independent organization".

With Juvenile crime on the rise, both the Police and

Courts are fully supportive of the Family Mediation Program,

as an alternative to the high cost of juvenile care within this

state. Mediation works as an effective vehicle to keep families

of troubled youths together, and assists them in working out

their own problems within their individual limits.

In the first six months of its existence, the Family Medi-

ation Program has assisted approximately fourteen (14)

families, and has proven to be both highly beneficial and cost

effective to the participating Towns.

TRUSTEES OF TRUST FUNDS REPORT — 1983

There was no change in membership of this Board in

1983; Mary V. Kanaly and Roger E. Nason, Sr., were reelec-

ted in March. A summary of trust fund accounts and a listing

of cemetery lot trust funds are given on the following pages.

The full report is on file with the Selectmen , Trustees and

required State officials and may be seen on request.

TRUST FUNDSCemetery perpetual care trust funds and other funds

yielded slightly less interest than in 1982 because of declining

rates but a large portion invested in 1981 will continue to yield

high rates into 1984. At that time the earnings will be subject

to new interest rates available.

The reserve funds of Town Departments are now in-

vested in Money Market checking accounts on which interest

varies from month to month. This facilitates deposits and

withdrawals at will. This 1983 report does not show two ad-

ditions to reserve funds which did not reach the Trustees

for deposit until 1984; namely -

Fire Department $20,000.00

Recreation Commission 5,000.00

CEMETERIESFor the fourth year, no increase is requested in the Town

budget item for its share of cemetery maintenance - $7,000.

This sum supplements the earnings of trust funds.

No major improvements were made in 1983.

Maintenance at South Kingston again was in charge of

George W. Leate and at other cemeteries was done by John C.

Tilton, Mark Richards and David Peterson with someincidental help.

NICHOLS MEMORIAL LIBRARY

The library purchased a total of 567 circulating, hard

bound books in 1983, plus Grangers Index to Poetry, VanNostrands Scientific Encyclopedia, The Illustrated Bible

Dictionary and The Encyclopedia of American Religion for

the reference shelves, plus 125 gift books that were cataloged

and shelved. This brings the total number of books to over

14,775 volumes. In addition to this we also subscribe to 32

periodicals.

The Bookmobile services which had been reduced to a

van delivery 3 times a year were terminated as of September

30th, due to a lack of funds at the state level. We now rely on

requests directly to The New Hampshire State Library for

supplemental requests where they have a Union Catalog

which contains non-fiction holdings of 42 public and academic

libraries.

During the month of August, Polaroid Corporation do-

nated 2 Sun Cameras to the library that can be checked out

the same as a book. They are the permanent property of the

library.

The Friends of the Library re-grouped in the fall with newofficers and have attracted many new members. They are

looking forward to being active and helpful to the library in

the coming year and we are very grateful for their help.

Our policy states that the meeting room may be reserved

without fee by educational, civic or cultural groups. At the

present time, it is being used by The Rockingham Planning

Commission, The Kingston Improvement and Historical

Society and The Friends of the Library.

Story and craft hours are held twice a week in the children's

room and are enjoyed by many preschoolers. Once a weekafternoon activities are held for school age children. Chil-

dren's Book Week was celebrated in November with a spe-

cial afternoon visit when Bill Oakes, a Kingston author and

illustrator came to share his experiences with children and

adults at the Nichols Memorial Library.

EXETER AREA VISITING NURSEASSOCIATION, INC.

The Exeter Area Visiting Nurse Association experienced

a year of growth and change in 1983. The EAVNA operated

with the largest budget, caseload and staff in the history of

the Agency. The two new services, speech and occupational

therapy, were very well utilized. The other disciplines, nur-

sing, physical therapy and home health aides all show a

marked increase in visits. Needs are changing. People are

staying home rather than being cared for in nursing homes.

HOME CARE now requires increased skills and up to date

technology to meet the needs of the acutely ill as well as the

chronically ill. Service was provided as needed 7 days a week,

24 hours a day.

In addition to the HOME CARE program, the MATER-NAL & CHILD HEALTH PROGRAM was ever responsive

to the needs of its population, working closely with local

pediatricians and the state and federal policy makers.

The Agency's ADULT HEALTH PROGRAM was ex-

panded to meet the needs of the adult population. Foot care

panded to meet the needs of the adult population. Foot Care

Clinics provided a new service for people needing assistance

caring for their feet. Self help sessions were held to assist

elders in independent living. Immunization clinics for adults

were added to the program and blood pressure clinics were

increased to serve the middle and younger adult.

The EAVNA continues to promote a clinical setting to

students of health care as well as provide continuing educa-

tion for its own staff to enable the Agency to continue to meet

the changing needs of its clients and of the community.

15,313 units of service were provided to residents of the

service area between January 1, 1983 and December 31,

1983. (Individual town statistics are sent to the selectmen of

each town.)

In the 80's, the shift of health care is to the HOME and

the COMMUNITY. The EAVNA is meeting the challenges

and will continue to collaborate and coordinate with other

health providers to assure that quality health care is available

to residents of the area.

RECREATION COMMISSION REPORT

This has been both a rewarding and a frustrating year

for the Recreation Committee.

We started off the year at Easter with a party at Nichols

Memorial Library, again successful due to untiring effort of

a few dedicated citizens.

Planning for the Summer program and swim program

continued until everything was worked out. The swim pro-

gram was well run and conducted in a very professional

manner, by a well trained staff. Unfortunately we have decided

to eliminate it, as it is not serving the citizens of Kingston in

the way that it should; for two years it has lost money. It is felt

that with all the private swim lessons in the area the impact

would not be that great.

The Summer program again was well attended and pro-

fessionally run. During our planning it was felt that it would

require another aide. With the influx of youngsters, it proved

that we had made the right decision. Under the direction of

Ellen Hume, for the second year the daily attendance has

increased to the high of 80. The Arts & Crafts portion was

disappointing and this has been revamped for the coming

season; dropping the Arts & Crafts director, to be run within

the aide position.

We sponsored a trip to Fenway Park which allowed

some of our citizens to see a Big League game for the first

time. This will be improved upon and more games will be

planned so keep watching the papers.

Halloween parties were sponsored again with the "Haun-

ted House" at the Grace Daley House being a huge success.

Thanks to the effort of Kingston Community Theatre/Encore

Co. This will also be expanded on.

Thanks to our citizens, improvements continue at the

Town Hall. With the volunteer help of Joe Julien, Seth Carr

and Tony Kawejaza, we constructed storage platforms on

both sides of the stag, at the same time enclosing the existing

closet, making them more secure. This gives more room on

the stage and certainly enhances the appearance. Later on

the new curtains were installed, which were long overdue.

Thanks!!!

38

Page 43: annual - report - UNH Scholars' Repository

This year saw the Tree Lighting and Yule Log combined.

Wow!!! Thanks to Pat Cline and Gertie McGlinchey this

proved to be the highlight of the year. These gals got prac-

tically every organization in Town to participate. With a snowstorm hitting us, this went off without a hitch. Snow and all

about 200 people enjoyed singing carols and refreshments

at the Town Hall.

Your Recreation Committee is constantly striving to

provide programs of interest for all ages. We need your sug-

gestions and your help—but most of all we need your con-

tinued support.

The Committee extends its thanks to the Selectmen and

the Office staff for the help and courtesy extended throughout

the year.

KINGSTON CIVIL DEFENSE AGENCY

This year I have continued to work with the firm of Costello,

Lomasney & deNapoli, Inc. with regards to the Seabrook

Power Station emergency procedures. I have also worked with

H. M. M. Associates, who were contracted by the Public

Service Company, to determine the type and locations of a

warning system to be installed within the town for use to notify

the towns people of any type of an emergency.

With the assistance of the Superintendents Office, work has

been completed on an emergency plan involving

comprehensive emergency procedures for all schools in town.

Also, the emergency procedures for all town departments

were updated.

I have been able to secure a 5kw generator for use at the

Central fire station, and ownership of two military type

vehicles loaned to the town under the Federal Excess Property

program, have since been turned over to the town.

The Kingston Civil Defense Agency has applied for and

received $496.09, in reimbursement, from the Federal Govern-

ment thru the Emergency Management Assistance funding

program.

KINGSTON POLICE DEPARTMENTANNUAL REPORT

Kingston Police Department has added on a new officer, and

had him certified part time by state standards. After regret-

fully loosing Officer Robert L. Stevenson for health reasons. At

this time I would personally like to thank Robert for all the help

and the time that he has spent, and is continuing to spend

with the cadets in the Explorer program thru the Boy Scouts of

America.

The Explorer's were founded in 1981 in conjunction with the

Police Department and the Boy Scout of America, Whittier

Council, Haverhill, Massachusetts.

Explorer Post 120 has ten members at full force. Some of the

Explorer's in the picture have completed beginner's and

advanced courses at St. Anselm's College in Goffstown, NH,this past summer.

These young adults are very conscientious of their jobs as

Explorer's. Their willingness to help and to do more than their

share of work, is exemplary.

With a smiling face and a "Yes, Sir," these young people

never complain, just roll up their sleeves and pitch in to help.

This small group of young men andwomen between 14 and 20,

under the direction of Robert Stevenson and others, has

worked thousands of hours over the past two years, providing

support to our police force (in non-dangerous areas), and

indeed covering certain police duties when manpower and

budget limitations prevent regular police coverage. These

duties performed by, the Explorer's has saved approximately

$20,000.00, had the services been performed by regular police

officers. They have conducted or assisted in serveral

community projects, such as fingerprinting, crime-watch

program, house numbering and frequent traffic control

situations.

They have also become known and respected outside of

Kingston for several other services they have rendered.

KINGSTON FOOD PANTRY

Working along with Rockingham County CommunityAction of Raymond, the Kingston Pantry started in August of

1982. Together the district consists of Kingston, Newton and

East Kingston.

To supply the locker with canned foods, we have asked the

Bakie School and the Newton Memorial School pupils to bring

one can of food.

The residents and business firms also have donated to the

food locker. At the annual town Christmas party donations

have been made.

The Food Pantry purpose is to help needy people who comeand ask the town for help. The Pantry has served 52 families

with sometimes helping a few families twice.

Because of this activity with RCCA we have had the

opportunity to be supplied with government surplus cheese

and butter. Our first serving had taken care of 150 households,

on the second serving 180 households and on the third, 274

households, which were from Kingston, Newton and East

Kingston.

I would like to thank everyone for the great help with their

donations and we hope to continue.

Thanks,

1983 REPORT

The year 1983 shows another increase of $37,515.00 in

vehicle permit fees. This was largely due to more new vehicles

being registered. A total of 724 dogs and 13 groups were

licensed for 1983, with a decrease of $696.80 in receipts.

Notices are being mailed to delinquent dog owners. I want to

thank Dick and Brenda Samoisette for their fine cooperation.

The following vital statistics were recorded: 56 Births, 56

Marriages and 19 Deaths, showing an increase of 10 Births and

15 Marriages and a decrease of 4 Deaths.

During 1983, 95 Voter Registrations were accepted as well

as 2 name changes and 4 changes of party. Appreciation is

48

Page 53: annual - report - UNH Scholars' Repository

expressed to the Supervisors who are fully cooperative at all

times. We were deeply saddened by the sudden death of

Richard Berry. There was one election - Town Meeting in

March. 96 Absentee Ballots issued. Thanks to the Moderator

and all ballot clerks, counters and assistants who help me at all

elections. There will be 4 elections in 1984: Feb. 28 -

Presidential Primary; Mar. 13 - Town Meeting; Sept. 11 - State

Primary; Nov. 6 - General Election. Polls open 10 A.M. - 7 P.M.

Starting Dec. 6, 1982, Kingston was designated as one of the

first 6 Towns to issue renewal decals for the State of N.H. -

Motor Vehicle Division. This added service continues to be

happily received since it saves time and gas. We also have the

added feature of evening hours for 2 nights and the M.V. is not

open in the evenings. We can renew only the same vehicle to

the same person to the same plate. We DON'T have newplates and we CANNOT do transfers.

Currently I am happy to represent Kingston on the

Executive Board of the N.H. City & Town Clerks' Assoc, as

well as being a member of the Legislative and Convention

Committees and a liaison between the Association and the

State Departments. Meetings are held monthly in Concord.

My deepest appreciation goes to my Deputy, Rochelle

Lafontaine, and to Holly Ouellette, the Office Clerk. Both are

fully trained to replace me in case of emergency or illness. Also,

many thanks to the Selectmen, Treasurer and all other officers

and committees for their fine cooperation.

In the Tax Department, the Warrent for 1983 shows another

increase of $244,987.94, and as of 12/31/83, 87% of this

Warrant was collected. Total Resident Taxes were 3142, an

increase of 115. The balance of the unredeemed taxes is

$69,204.95 which is $5,360.53 more than the year before. This

is a much smaller increase than in 1982.

One of the most pleasant things of the year was the second

Holiday Party on Dec. 17th at Plaistow Caterers, for all TownEmployees, Committee members and their guests. 154 people

attended and thanks to everyone who helped make this a big

success. I am now looking forward to the 1984 party already

scheduled for Dec. 15th at the same place.

Many thanks for the continued support from ALL residents,

and it is still a pleasure to serve Kingston as I complete 24 years

as Tax Collector and 14 years as Town Clerk.
