In Loving Memory
of
Arlene Lebel
1940 - 2009
You were friendly, kind and caring
Sensitive, loyal and understanding
Humorous, fun, secure and true
Always there...yes that was you.
Special, accepting, exciting and wise
Truthful, helpful, with honest blue eyes
Confiding, forgiving, cheerful and bright
Yes that was you….not one bit of spite.
You were one of a kind, different from others
Generous, charming, but not one that smothers
Optimistic, thoughtful, happy and game
But not just another….in the long chain
Appreciative, warm and precious like gold
Where friendship never tarnished or grew old
You were always there and
You will always be remembered, never forgotten
by those lives you touched with your kindness.

Board of Selectmen
To Manchester
Residents:
It has been an honor to
serve as the Chair of
our Board of Selectmen
this past year. We are
fortunate that we have
such a capable Town
Manager to work with,
and for a Board that is
so perceptive, commit-
ted and willing to give
of their time to serve
our town.
We have many in-depth
discussions as part of our meetings before we vote on some of the
issues that come before us. In this era of shrinking state revenues,
the Board has been working diligently to keep the budget inline
without cutting services. This includes ongoing meetings with
representatives of the surrounding communities to find ways of
sharing services in order to contain expenses.
Not only has our Board of Selectmen contributed much to the
direction of our town affairs, but we could never accomplish the
things we do without the many volunteers on boards and
committees, the fire department, organizers of activities and those
who offer advice and guidance along the way.
Reading the committee reports in this Annual Report will give you
a great appreciation of all the work that is taking place behind the
scenes. Many thanks to all of those who volunteer, chair these
various activities and give generously of their time and talent.
Thanks also to our staff in the town office. They are professional
in their service to you, the residents, and serve this town well.
15
A special thanks to the Lions Club and the Fire Department for the
Senior Dinner they each sponsored during this past winter. They were
wonderful events, well attended, the food was delicious, many prizes
for the drawings– all in all greatly appreciated by the crowd of
Manchester seniors. It was a wonderful opportunity to see old
friends and enjoy the sociability.
And let’s not forget the Silver Bullet—it’s been a smashing success!
Please vote on Tuesday, June 8
th
,or earlier by absentee ballot. We also
hope to see you at our Annual Town Meeting on Thursday, June 10
th
.
Respectfully submitted,
Elaine Fuller, Chair

Town Manager
Considering what we have been through as a
country, a state and as a community during the
past year I believe that we can work together and
make a better community We have come through
this part of the storm a bit wiser and with a certain
amount of trepidation. State revenues for educa-
tion shrinking drastically, state revenues that flow
to the town are being decimated and if that isn’t
enough, the Homestead Exemption is being
decreased from $13,000 to $10,000 To some, the
challenges we face in the next year may seem
impossible. However, I am convinced that if we
work together we will be successful no matter what
the future has in store.
A great deal of road work was accomplished during the past fiscal year. Some of
this work was necessary and work that had previously been delayed is being
completed. As I write this, major plans and improvements will be done on the
Prescott Road.
There are a multitude of individuals who make our community successful. First,
I am grateful to my family, Sue, Zac and Ethan for their love, support and
understanding of the many responsibilities of this job. To the Board of Selectmen
for their insight and thoughtful deliberation over the many issues that face us as a
community. I truly appreciate your opinions and guidance. To our town
employees: Darlene Beaulieu, Tina Cagle, Lisa Frost, Pat Gilbert, Chuck Jordan
and Marilyn Palmer for your dedication beyond the call of duty. I appreciate your
sense of humor and the ease in which you take everything in stride.
It is with bittersweet thoughts that I have accepted Town Clerk Marilyn Palmer’s
decision to retire from town services effective July 2, 2010. Marilyn has been a
valuable and loyal employee over the past 10 years (not counting her stint as the
Recreation Director). She greets people with a smile and a willingness to help no
matter what the problem seems to be. She has been an important part of our
―office family‖ contributing her creative talents to whatever project she is
associated with. I want to wish her and the rest of her family the ―Best of Luck
and Much Happiness Always‖ in whatever future endeavors they may pursue.
You will be missed, Marilyn, (and your little dog, too)!
17
I want to mention my deep respect and admiration for the people who volunteer
on Manchester’s committees, boards, and the countless number other individu-
als who volunteer to serve our community. You are the glue that holds everything
together. Without the people mentioned above, administration of this town
would be next to impossible.
To a large part, whether we experience the best of times or the worst of times
during our current economic problems is dependent on citizen involvement. I
encourage you to vote, volunteer to serve on some committee or board and ask
questions about the issues that concern you. It is only through involvement that
we can actively decide the outcome.
As always, I welcome your suggestions and comments on the circumstances that
the town faces on a daily basis. I encourage you to feel free to call or email me
at mantownmgr@roadrunner.com. If you are so inclined, stop by for a chat.
The people are warm and friendly, the lights are on, the coffee is usually hot
and the door is always open.
Respectfully Submitted,
Mark R. Doyon, Town Manager

Town Clerk
Dear Manchester Residents,
It gives me great pleasure to report
that on November 3, 2009 we held our
first Election in our ―new fire
station.‖ We had 339 absentees and
1,056 residents who voted that day at
the polls. Our total votes cast were
1,395. Wow! The day went very
smoothly. A little work is needed on
making for a smoother flow on using
the exit door after voting. As the
saying goes practice makes perfect.
In the 10 years of conducting elections with limited space at the town office
it certainly is a nice change. We now have more room for setting up the
polling place along with two large handicap bathroom facilities, the kitchen
area and a storage room to store all of the election equipment. Thank you
Manchester Residents for our new fire station and the positive feed back.
I would like to thank all of you who have assisted me before and during
Elections. It has given me great pleasure to have worked with all of you and
know that I could count on you during election time. As I have said many
times before, it’s because of all of your help that makes for a smooth and
successful election. Thank you all so much.
In closing, I have decided to retire from my position in July as Town Clerk.
I have really enjoyed my 10 years working for the Town of Manchester
along with the job responsibilities and duties. I attended many workshops
in order to keep up with the latest updates and law changes. It enabled me to
become certified as a Maine Clerk and last year I was re-certified. I had the
opportunity of meeting some wonderful clerks and learned a lot from
networking with them. I was involved in the Island Fisheries & Wildlife
working group, a member of the Androscoggin & Kennebec Counties
Municipal Clerks’ Association and Chairman of the Certification
Committee for the Maine City Town & Clerks Association. I really
appreciated the opportunity to be involved.
My thoughts and prayers will be with Town Manager, Mark Doyon and best
wishes in the future to my fellow co-workers.

Tax Collector/Treasurer
Dear Manchester Residents:
As the fiscal year draws to an end, we have been busy with budget
meetings, tax collections and soon I will be preparing for the town’s audit.
The tax club membership is increasing in popularity. If anyone is
interesting in joining, please contact me at the town office, I would be more
than happy to add you to the list.
Once again the tree auction, provided funds for those individuals who did
not meet the General Assistance guidelines. Thank you for all the business
who contributed in donated the trees and decorating them. A very special
thank you to Heidi Philbrick for coordinating the event for the tree auction.
I hope this tradition continues for many years to come.
At this time, I would like to wish Marilyn Palmer good luck on her
retirement from the town office. I wish her success in any future endeavors.
Haley, we will not be able to replace you as our town mascot, you are
unique!
Once again, I look forward to serving our community!!!!!

Report of the Assessors
The Assessing Department is charged with the responsibility of evaluating,
listing and valuing all property within the town. We maintain tax maps, track
all property ownership, review all building permits, administer State current use
programs (tree growth, farm and open space) and determine eligibility for
homestead, veterans and blind exemptions.
The Geographic Information System (GIS) is currently providing planning
and analysis benefits that has exceeded all of our expectations. Our town’s
government decision-making has been dramatically advanced with this system.
The entire town was part of an aerial photography project in 2008 which was
loaded into the GIS software. The Assessing and Code Enforcement
Department are continuing to build the land parcel layer into the GIS software
by plotting each land parcel and registering the file image as an overlay to the
photographic image. This effort requires a review of deed descriptions, survey
details, maps and plans. For this project to be successful and yield benefits for
years to come, we need to build the most complete and detailed survey and map
inventory possible. Therefore, we are, once again, requesting that taxpayers
share information regarding surveys and parcel maps they may be in
possession of. The Assessing and Codes Department are using the new
photography and software quite successfully on a case by case basis. And, once
the land parcel layer is complete, we will be implementing other layers such as
map & lot numbering system, zoning, E911 Addressing, building permits
issued, road inventory and maintenance and much more. GIS has provided
valuable information to assist us in efficiently and effectively track and
organize land use issues throughout the Town. We appreciate your assistance
and are excited about what GIS has and will continue to offer the Town of
Manchester.
We also offer many assessing services on our town website including various
forms and publications, valuation listings, a database with zoning, acreage
and building square foot living area sorted by map and lot, town tax maps,
floodplain maps, a link to Maine Revenue Service’s website, Land Use
Ordinance, and E911 Addressing Ordinance. Please be sure to check it out at
www.manchester.govoffice2.com.

Maine Revenue Services authorized the Town of Manchester to
certify at 100% in 2009 based on recent sales studies and again
in 2010.
We would like to remind residents about the following TAX RELIEF
PROGRAMS:
√ If you’re a legal resident of the State of Maine, owned homestead
property in Maine for at least the past 12 months and you declare your
Manchester homestead as your permanent place of residence and the
only property for which you have claimed a homestead exemption, you
may qualify for a Homestead Exemption. For property tax years
beginning on or after April 1, 2010, the homestead exemption amount is
decreased from $13,000 to $10,000. The Homestead Exemption carries
over from year to year until there is a change in property ownership.
Therefore, you need not reapply every year.
27
3 inch numbers
√ If you are a veteran, or a widow of a veteran, who is or would be 62 years
of age or 100% disabled, you may be eligible for a Veteran’s or
Veteran’s Widow Exemption.
Applications for the above exemptions must be filed by April 1
st
in the
year for which you are seeking the exemption.
√ Please take a moment to investigate the Maine Residents Property
Tax and Rent Refund program. Application deadline was June 1,
2010 for property tax assessed 4/1/2008 (Manchester's 2009 tax bill).
More information will be available soon for next year’s program. Visit
our website or Maine Revenue Services at www.maine.gov/revenue.
Lastly, we urge all residents to post your street numbers according to
the E911 Addressing Ordinance. Every second counts during a response to
a fire, health or safety call. If a number is not posted, emergency services
may take additional time locating the residence/business. Listed below are
guidelines to help assist you:
A structure/residence within 50 (fifty) feet of the edge of
the road right-of-way must display the assigned street
num ber on the residence in a conspicuous and visible
location.
A residence/structure over 50 (fifty) feet from the edge
of the road right-of-way must display the assigned
street number next to the walk or access drive to
the residence/structure on a post, fence, wall,
mailbox or other structure at the property line.
Numbers should be a minimum of 3 (three) inches in height.
28
Frequently check that your street sign is posted and visible. If it is not
posted or visible, please call the Town Office 622-1894.
Look from an eye of the responder and be sure your street number is
CLEARLY and VISIBLY posted.
Many residents display their street number on mailboxes at the end of
their driveway, in addition to posting the street number on the residence.
Emergency response personnel appreciate the visibility.
For those residents on private ways with mailbox clusters, it is advanta-
geous to display your street number on a post, wall or fence at your
property line, though it may not be required by ordinance. During
recent audits, it was difficult to locate street numbers of homes on
private ways.
For those residents using VONAGE or SKYPE, please verify that the
address with VONAGE/SKYPE is the address that you are currently
located.
Thank you for your cooperation!

Code Enforcement Officer
Codes are sometimes viewed as "all the things you can’t do." But their
purpose is actually to promote quality of life and ensure the safety of
construction activities. Code Enforcement helps protect property values by
ensuring that development meets the zoning and land use regulations
adopted by the Town. These codes prohibit activities that would disrupt or
change the nature of neighborhoods, and promote public health by
prohibiting the accumulation of debris and requiring that construction
meet certain standards.
In 2008 we started building our Geographic Information System (GIS).
Working together with the Assessing Department we are creating a layer
with all of the Town's parcels. Along with the parcel layer we also have:
Conservation Lands, Federal Wetlands, Flood Mapping and 2 foot contours
accurate to 6" in the vertical. It has already proven itself to be an
invaluable tool for the Town of Manchester.
It has been my pleasure to serve the Town of Manchester and I would like
to thank the Board of Selectmen, the Planning Board, Town Manager and
the Staff at the Town Office for giving me the opportunity to work in this
community.
This following report reflects activities that cover the calendar year

Keep in mind if you are planning any construction projects, or paving a
private driveway, they require review by the CEO. If your project is over
$1,000 including labor there will be a charge under the town’s fee schedule.
Please feel free to stop by and discuss issues related to the Town’s
Ordinances as a whole or as it relates to your property. My role in this
community is to advise property owners with regards to property rights based
on the current regulations which the Town of Manchester has approved.

Road Committee
During the 2009 year, the Road Committee reviewed and recommended a
series of projects to the Selectmen for completion. The Committee conducted
a review process that prioritized projects and estimated costs of completion.
There are always more projects that could be done than there is money to do
them. Nonetheless, the Committee believes that the most important projects
were completed.
Each year the Committee has tried to accomplish at least one large project in
addition to other maintenance projects. This last year we completely rebuilt
the middle third mile of the Kern’s Hill Road. That completed a three year
plan for rebuilding the entire road. In addition, the entire length of the
Puddledock Road was paved .
During the summer and fall of 2010, we will begin a two-year plan to rebuild
approximately two miles of the Prescott Road beginning at the Augusta/
Manchester town line. In addition, we hope to pave 0.7 mile of the Scribner
Hill Road.
The amount of road maintenance that needs to be done in Manchester
currently exceeds the resources available to keep up. We therefore address the
problems that affect the most citizens as we consider our priorities.
The Committee would like to thank the Selectmen for their support of our
project analysis process and thank the citizens for the financial support
necessary to keep Manchester roads in reasonable condition. If you have
issues you would like considered, please contact one of the Road Committee
members below.

Cemetery Committee
Dear Residents,
Upon the Cemetery Committee’s recommendation, Town Manager Mark
Doyon appointed Brandon Ellis of Farmingdale as the town’s Sexton.
Brandon’s duties will include placing the American Flags in before
Memorial Day, removing Flags after Labor Day, marking the grave site prior
to a burial and sounding of graves if requested.
The Cemetery Committee has worked during the past year at completing these
few goals listed;
1. Watch for construction at our new section of the Forks Cemetery in
preparation of future burial space.
2. A revision of our current Cemetery Ordinance to be voted at town
meeting in June.
We ask that no one plants trees on the lots. Anyone having urns and pots on
the burial site must remove them in the fall for the winter months and return
them early in the spring, or they will be disposed of. It is very important to
have the last resting place of our family looking neat.
Reminder: All Cemetery purchases are done at the town office. The cost
including perpetual care is $300.00 per plot.

Conservation Committee
-Manchester Conservation Commission Accomplishments- 6/09 to 5/10
-In the past year the Manchester CC has been most active in its role leading the
Natural Areas, Lakes & Streams, Agriculture, and Forestry subcommittees of
the Manchester Comprehensive Planning Committee. Along with support from
outside the committee, members developed inventories of resources in these
areas within Manchester. We anticipate making continued contributions to the
Comprehensive Planning process in the year to come as the group moves closer
to making any needed revisions to the plan.
--MCC also continued to coordinate with the Board of Selectman, town
manager, and other regional groups in promoting recycling efforts as well as
looking at the most efficient and cost effective methods available to the town for
disposal of municipal solid waste. While the Silver Bullet continues to be
very successful in Manchester, efforts continue to promote recycling, control
costs, and look at options available on a regional level to meet these goals.
--Organized and coordinated a successful annual Spring roadside clean-up on
April 10
th
, and assist in staffing and promoting Household Hazardous Waste
disposal day on May 15
th
.
--Monitor and develop opportunities for walking trails in the downtown area
and connecting with other communities. We are looking at grant opportunities
as well as incorporating these efforts into Comprehensive Plan goals.
--Work with landowners to monitor needs and coordinate protection/
stewardship of open areas such as Allen-Whitney Forest, Jamies Pond, Shed
Pond, and town owned properties. Promote and maintain trails on areas open
to public access.
--Support maintenance of scenic areas and other valued open space such as
privately owned agricultural and forest land by working with landowners and
otherwise supporting goals cited in town’s open space plan.
--Support, consult and coordinate with other groups working on related town
projects such as public swimming access and other use of town owned lands.
MCC also supported the initial formation of the Manchester Historic Society,
now an independent group.
The Manchester Conservation Commission usually meets the first Thursday
of every month at the Town Office. Members include: Jeffrey Janell - Chair;
Doug Ide-vice-chair; Garry Hinkley-treasurer, Sylvia Ouellette-secretary, Deb
Plengey, Annie Reiter, Barbara Moss, and Fred Snow –associate member. We
are always open to community members attending meetings and contributing to
any of our projects.

Comprehensive Planning Committee
Maine’s 1988 Comprehensive Planning and Land Use Act directs all Maine
communities to analyze their town’s growth needs, vision, and resources and create a
blueprint for moving forward. The law intends all communities to do this every 10 years
or so. Manchester’s current Comprehensive Plan was created in 1991, so we are
overdue for an overhaul. In the course of the process, we will be analyzing Manchester's
resources in the following topic areas: natural resources, water resources, historic,
cultural, and archaeological resources, farming and forestry resources, economy and
economic development, housing and demographics, outdoor recreation, public facilities,
transportation, fiscal capacity, land use, and residential development.
The comprehensive planning committee started meeting in November, 2009. There
is a ―main committee‖ of about 8 members, and subcommittees that have been
conducting inventories on the topics listed above. We have had a total of over 40
Manchester residents involved in the process so far. Meetings of the main committee
occur monthly, on the 2
nd
Tuesday of each month at the new fire station (7 pm). All
residents are welcome (and encouraged) to attend and participate.
We have divided the process into an initial ―inventory‖ phase, where we are
investigating the resources in Manchester under each of the above topics, and discussing
the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOTs) that characterize
Manchester’s resources in each topic. After we have conducted our inventory, we will
have a public participation exercise in which we will invite ideas and get attitudes on
how the residents of Manchester envision the future of our town. In the fall of 2010,
we will begin an analysis and policy phase, where we will revisit each topic and
determine what policies are needed to achieve our goals for Manchester’s future.
The final product of the process will be a 2-section report, one describing the
inventory of each area, and the other outlining the policies and other recommendations
that we believe will help us achieve our community goals.
The Comprehensive Planning process is being assisted by two planning professionals
from the Kennebec Valley Council of Governments (KVCOG) – Chris Huck and Jen
Boothroyd, who are helping with some research issues, with writing chapters of the
report, and are helping to assure that the Plan complies with all the state regulations.
We are also assisted by Pat Gilbert, Manchester’s Code Enforcement Officer/Planner.
We have a web site under the Town of Manchester’s web site, scroll down to the
bottom on the left side.
Schedule: our final summer meeting will be July 8: Inventory analysis on Land Use
(Land Use committee) and overall SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and
threats) discussion. August 12: No meeting – summer break. Look for announcements
on the town web site and at the town office for our fall meeting schedule.

Ongoing Projects:
*”File of Life” distribution -- personal emergency medical information
packets to adhere to outside of refrigerators for emergency and health
personnel are always available.
*Bookcases – located now at the Manchester Post Office, Manchester Town
Hall and Manchester Lions Club; updated regularly with information
available to all. Please check them out regularly.
*Blood Pressure Screenings – at the Spring and Fall Open Houses at Long-
fellow’s Greenhouses. We remind you of some six measured walking paths
at the Greenhouse, some inside and others outside. Pleasant place to
walk!!
*Day Care Reading Program – volunteers are available to read books,
obtained from the school library, pertinent to the ages at the particular day
care setting. Please contact a MHF Volunteer, if you operate a day care
center and would like to try this service.
*Augusta Food Bank – two MHF volunteers represent Manchester & the
Manchester Community Church on the Board of the food bank, which
services both Augusta and Manchester. Currently, on average, 60 of our
neighbors use their services each month. The Food Bank had a float in our
Apple Festival Parade, for the first time, thanking the town for its support
of the food bank and those it seeks to serve. They plan to return and are
most welcome!! Please continue to give to the food drives, etc. in town on
behalf of AFB.
*Manchester Heat Fund -- established in 2008 and anchored at our Town
Hall, the Heat Fund continues to help our neighbors in town who are in
need of that assistance. We remind everyone that contributions to this
most important fund are always needed and most appreciated.
Transportation – MHF volunteers are available to drive our Manchester
Neighbors to medical appointments, etc. as can be arranged. Simply call
the Town Hall with your need and they will contact us. We hope to work
toward some transportation system in our area for those in need and will
keep you updated on what develops, but right now it is through the
volunteer efforts of your neighbors.
Manchester Healthy Futures

**Winter Blues Senior Luncheon – a new project this year, co-sponsored
with the Manchester Lions Club, was by all accounts a successful event.
The winter months are long and tend to be isolating for some, for whom
health, mobility and transportation might present challenges in the
snow!! It was a nice day to get together with neighbors and friends.
The Lions intend to continue these events. Our Fire Dept. & Auxiliary
and our Grange have luncheons as well and between the three, we hope
to see such events each month. MHF looks to try to find some other
ways to bring our senior neighbors together for recreation, conversation
and perhaps a little sharing of their knowledge and talents!! Any ideas?
*Collaboration between the 8 towns west of Augusta continues – through
Healthy Futures, we meet with and collaborate with neighbors in the
seven other towns west of Augusta and are able to provide the services
of a Nurse Health Advocate to those who can benefit by that help. We
meet every other month and share ideas and work together for the
health and well-being of our little corner of the world.
*Our various activities are supported by your generous stipend and again
we want to thank you so very much.
*We welcome anyone who might want to join our little group and work
on behalf of our “neighborhood”!
Give us a call!
*Here’s to sunshine, good health, friendship and your continuing sup-
port!

Recreation Committee
Welcome to another year of K-6 Summer Recreation. Danielle Williams and
Sarah Joslyn are busy planning trips the water park in Waterville, the Dis-
covery Museum in Augusta, and Interstate Bowling. We will also have a
visit from Friends of the Cobbossee on one of our beach days, volleyball,
badminton and sand castle contests. Many activities will be happening right
at the Manchester Elementary School, such as an ice cream party, Karate,
sewing, soap making, tie-dyeing, African drumming, bug week, trips to the
MES Library, Mexican Fiesta and of course, the Talent Show and Carnival
Day. As you are probably aware, the cost of the 6-week program is $100 per
child. If you are interested in a payment plan, please contact the Town
Manager, Mark Doyon, for details.
The Recreation Committee is working with the Comprehensive Planning
Board for the Town of Manchester. We are interested in your ideas for
recreational activities. Obesity is on the rise and our youth of today are much
too sedentary. We would like to see a recreation program that encompasses
recreation for all ages within our community. We are fortunate to have a
successful K-6 Summer Recreation program. We recognize that our
programming is targeted at the younger children but without support from
the community we cannot successfully expand our young adults program
nor can we provide adult programming. Please contact us to let us know
what you would like to see for recreational activities in the future and ask
how you can support recreation within our community.
As always, we welcome you to attend our meetings held on the second
Thursday of the month at the Town Office. If you are interested in joining
our committee, or helping in any way, please feel free to contact Margaret
Manley, Chair of the Committee, or the Town Manager.

Manchester Elementary School
Dear Residents,
As always, I am pleased to share the news from Manchester School in the
Annual Town Report. However, this year the news is bittersweet for me as
I am writing my 18
th
and final report for the citizens of Manchester as I
am retiring from my position as Principal in RSU #38. I have to begin
by saying that these years, plus the additional ten I spent here as your
music teacher, have been magical ones for me. I have been constantly
amazed at the level of support and encouragement that the residents of
Manchester have had for their elementary school. Whenever a need was
identified, the town quickly jumped on board to support it. You always
understood that having an exemplary school was a plus for our community,
and you provided the necessary resources to ensure our success. I have
every confidence that this support will continue, regardless of who is at the
helm of this jewel of a ship! I also want to recognize the retirement of two
other staff members who have devoted themselves to the children of
Manchester. Mrs. Valerie Emerson and Mrs. Claudette Purington will be
leaving to enjoy all the advantages and opportunities that retirement can
bring. I’m sure that you will join me in wishing them many years of
happiness and good health. Though I am retiring from public education,
I will still be working to improve the conditions for teachers and students
through consultation work in the private sector. I’m glad to report that most
of my students say that I am ―way too young‖ to retire for good, so I’m
happy to assure them that I will be gainfully employed!
The past year brought many challenges to our school and our district.
Our first year as RSU #38 brought with it some reorganization and
restructuring. Some of the changes were easy, and we quickly adapted to
them. Others were more complicated and will still take some time to
implement. As you all know, this has been a very difficult budget year with
curtailments and cutbacks coming from the state. We have made every at-
tempt to be responsive to these budget challenges and have had to make some
very serious decisions about what we can afford to maintain. In some cases,
however, several proposed cuts would have made a drastic impact in our
ability to ensure a high quality program for our students. We all know that
we have to do with less, but there is a clear line for me when it comes to put-
ting our students at a disadvantage. We have worked very hard during this
budget season to balance the needs of the towns and residents with those of
our students. I hope you will support the final outcome of our budget
deliberations.
40
While we will clearly have fewer staff next year to work with, the
educational needs that the students present will not disappear. I urge you to
consider being a volunteer at Manchester Elementary School. In addition
to a regular cadre of classroom volunteers, we started a new volunteer
program this year. We trained a number of parents and community
members as Instructional Tutors. These tutors are working with specific
students on targeted interventions. Their work has been very beneficial,
and we hope to expand this program in the future. I urge you to contact the
school if you have some interest in the program. The adage that it ―takes a
village‖ to accomplish something is becoming more and more important,
and I know that the residents of Manchester will continue to do whatever it
takes to provide for and support our students.
Respectfully,
Rick Wilson

Regional School Unit #38
To the citizens of Regional School Unit No. 38:
As I sit down to write this Annual Report for our four towns, I remind folks
that we are more than half-way through our first year as a consolidated school
district (RSU #38). I'm sure you will remember that our consolidating
partners Winthrop and Fayette chose not to join our ranks as a consolidated
district. We are in serious conversations with Fayette about shared services
and programs, and will continue to provide a variety of services to Winthrop.
We are also struggling to adopt a school budget that is significantly reduced
due to the lack of State funding and revenues. It has forced our newly
consolidated district to look at a plethora of alternative ways to conduct our
business as well as seriously reduce staff and programs to accommodate our
revenue loss. Maranacook Area Schools has always been resilient and staff,
administration, School Board, and communities are working hard to find a
resolution to this challenge. What is most important to keep in mind is the
fact that our focus will always be on the student and our creative thinking
and budget work needs to maintain that focus.
The consolidation of school administration has been well-received generally
across the District. Having one principal for two elementary schools has
worked well, and both Cheryl Hasenfus and Rick Wilson deserve to be
congratulated for their hard work and many more extra hours to keep things
working well.
Our Middle School has embarked upon a journey for accreditation by the
prestigious New England Association of Schools and Colleges. This
recommendation was adopted by the previous CSD 10 School Committee and
the new RSU Board, and the work has begun in earnest. There will be many
ways for our communities and parents to stay connected to this work and have
the opportunity to weigh in on what we do well and what needs to change.
The RSU Board is also undertaking a Futures Visioning Process under the
leadership of a consultant from the Maine Department of Education.
This process will guide the work of the Board as it struggles with financial
challenges and a changing landscape called "education".
42
Enrollment data for the District – October 1, 2009
Our students and staff continue to excel in the academic, cultural, arts, and
athletic arenas. I am proud of our reputation and confident in our ability to
continue to improve upon it into the years ahead. I continue to look forward to
my work with our schools and communities as we try to reinvent RSU No. 38 -
Maranacook Area Schools.

Richard A. Abramson,

Manchester Country Riders
Dear Residents,
We were on our way to a good 2009-2010 snowmobile season when the
rain came in January and put an unfortunate end to riding in all but the
northern areas of the state. Prior to the rain the Manchester Country
Riders had been busy trimming, rebuilding bridges, rerouting a main
trail to keep our trails once again second to none.
Having said that I wanted to thank the Town of Manchester for
allocating the snowmobile registration revenue to the club. These funds,
along with a strong volunteer effort help tremendously to keep our trails
and equipment in top condition.
In closing I would like to once again thank the residents, landowners,
and club members for all their help this past season. Let’s cross our
fingers for a good 2010-2011 season.
Respectfully yours,
Wayne Whitman

Dear Friends,
It has been an honor serving you in my first year in Congress and working with you to rise to the many
challenges of the last year. Though we have been able to make progress in many areas, there is much to be done
in the year ahead.
My focus in Washington and in Maine continues to be creating and preserving jobs, and helping our state
recover from the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression. Passing the Recovery Act early in 2009
helped prevent a bad economic situation from getting even worse and has helped us lay the groundwork for
long-term, sustainable economic growth.
The Recovery Act is investing in Maine’s technology and transportation infrastructure, providing job training to
thousands of workers, helping us become a clean energy leader and boosting the real estate market. And
according to economists, as of the beginning of this year it has created or saved 10,000 jobs in Maine.
In Kennebec County, the Recovery Act is helping Kennebec Valley Community College become a regional center
for training solar technicians, and municipalities are receiving funds to make their buildings more efficient,
saving taxpayers thousands. My office also held a workshop in Augusta to meet with local businesses and
organizations to look for opportunities to support the great work they’re doing for the region.
Despite these successes, we need to do more to get the state back on its feet. Too many Maine families are
struggling to make ends meet, too many Mainers are out of work, and too many communities don’t have the
resources they need.
In Maine, continuing to fight for small businesses will be crucial to creating jobs. Small businesses drive our
economy, but the downturn has hit them hard. We have to help them access the capital they need to survive and
grow, make sure they have a workforce well-trained for our changing economy, and offer the resources that help
good ideas become good businesses.
And work this year will also carry on to give Maine families what they need to prosper: a clean environment, a
good education, and access to quality, affordable health care.
I was elected to Congress to serve the people of the First District. If there is ever anything I can do to help you or
your community, please feel free to call my office at 774-5019 or visit my website at www.pingree.house.gov.
Looking forward to seeing you in Maine soon.

SENATOR EARLE MCCORMICK
MAINE SENATE DISTRICT #21
ANNUAL REPORT TO THE TOWN OF MANCHESTER
January 2010
Dear Friends and Neighbors,
It is a great honor to represent the citizens of Manchester in the State Senate.
This is my second term and this session is, without a doubt, the most
challenging.
We faced many difficult decisions in the First Regional Session of the 124
th
,
and I expect the same for the second session of the Legislature. State
revenues have continued to fall far below projected amounts, resulting in yet
another massive budget shortfall of $483 million to date and with 17 months
to go in this budget cycle the shortfall could get worse.
Unlike last session where we had a massive infusion of one-time stimulus
dollars, this session we can expect little help from the federal government.
Augusta must solve the problem on its own. Maine families have been forced
to make tough decisions and the time has come for state government to do the
same.
I will continue to seek long-term sustainable change that will position Maine
to emerge from this downturn, stronger than when it began. However, we
must insure we are providing services to those in need and minimize the cuts in
state spending that will only result in increases in the property tax.
Thank you again for the honor of representing you in the Maine Senate.
Please feel free to contact me with your thoughts, concerns or if you are
having an issue with a state agency. I would be happy to help in any way that
I can. You can reach me in Augusta at 287-1505 or at home at 724-3228.
Sincerely,
Earle McCormick

County. The Sheriff’s Office has a long history of service, dating back to 1799. Our agency pro-
vides a multitude of services, including Law Enforcement, Corrections, Court Security and Civil
Service.
In 2009, Deputy Sheriffs responded to 27,768 calls for service. We answered 312 calls for service
in complaints involving domestic violence; 1,267 motor vehicle accidents; 232 burglaries and 132
K-9 calls. We also managed, on average, 179 registered sex offenders.
During the past year, our Correctional Facility managed 3,525 inmates. The offenses committed
include everything from Burglaries to Homicides. Substance abuse and the proper treatment of
citizens with mental illness continue to be two primary concerns at the Correctional Facility.
Inmates at the Kennebec County Correctional Facility are required to work. Throughout 2009,
inmates worked 92, 941 hours, valued at approximately $568,830. Inmates that are considered to
be a risk to the community work inside the facility cleaning and cooking, others are supervised on
outside projects. Our inmates raised 45,000 pounds of produce for the inmate kitchen and area
food pantries in 2009. In 2009, inmates provided enhanced sanitation at many schools, reducing
our students’ exposure to the H1N1 virus.
I am committed to providing innovative programs to reduce crimes, assist victims and to
provide an enhanced public safety. I acknowledge the ever-growing opiate addiction problem and
have committed to partnerships at the Federal, State and Local levels to combat this problem. Our
approach is aggressive enforcement, education and treatment for those afflicted.
I am committed to providing the 122,000 citizens of Kennebec County with progressive and
professional Law Enforcement and Correctional Services. I welcome any comments or suggestions,
which improve our service to the citizens of Kennebec County.
