FOUR TOWN NURSING SERVICE REPORT


TO THE SELECTMEN:


The 40th Annual Report of the Four Town Nursing Service, Inc. for the fiscal year 1971, is submitted herewith:


The Four Town Nursing Service is dedicated to bringing better health to the community. We assist with the School Health Programs and Pre-School Clinics. Nursing visits into the homes are made when doctors so prescribe. No patient is denied care despite inability to pay.


Our annual audit showed cost per visit rose again last year from $7.10 to $9.00. However, we are not asking for an increase in Town appropriations.


Four Town Nursing Service is approved by the Department of Health, Educa- tion, and Welfare to assist those under Medicare.


Nurses made 1199 home visits, traveled 9358 miles, and patients made 50 office calls.


Six Pre-school Clinics were held, covering all four towns.


In the School Health Program physical examinations were given to students in Sub-Primary, First, Fifth and Eighth grades in Four Towns, and to sopho- mores in G.S.A .; also to the athletic teams and cheerleaders in G.S.A. and to all students in the Open Door School.


Immunizations: D.P.T., Vaccination and Rubella. Measles and Oral Polio were given to students in the Four Towns according to the schedule prescribed by the Department of Health and Welfare in the State of Maine. Tuberculosis tests in Grades 1, 7 and Seniors in G.S.A. Vision and Hearing Tests were done routinely.


27


The Physical Therapist made 20 visits with the nurse, prescribing exercises and corrective treatment for patients suffereng from arthritis, strokes, and mus- cular deficiencies.


Eye examinations and glasses and dental care were provided where there was real financial need.


A pilot dental program was conducted by Dr. James Carey, on the children in Sub-Primary and First Grade in the Elementary School in Blue Hill. The children's teeth were cleansed and given a Fluoride treatment.


We continue our Nursing Scholarship Program.


We are active members of the Pine Tree Association of Home Health Agencies.


Mrs. Marian Carter, R.N., Staff Nurse, and Mrs. Patricia Wallstrom, R.N., Assistant Nurse, earn real praise for excellent service, as do Mrs. Elizabeth Mc- Connell, Secretary, and Albert Varnum, Accountant.


Special thanks to Drs. J. G. Murray, Jr., Bradley Brownlow, Richard Britt, Robert Russell, Philip Gray, and Dr. James Carey, D.D.S.


Dr. Robert Russell has resigned as School Physician to Brooksville and Sedgwick. His many years of devoted service will long be remembered. It was a pleasure to serve with him. Dr. Harold Schwartz has been appointed by the MSAD 73 School Board to serve as School Doctor, and we welcome him.


Without financial support from the Four Towns-Blue Hill, Brooklin, Brooksville, Sedgwick-Penobscot, this work could not continue.


Sincere gratitude to the friends of the Service who through their generosity made it possible for us to complete our fortieth anniversary year of service to the community.


We go forth with confidence and courage to serve another year.


Respectfully submitted,


Maria K. Chadwick, President THE FOUR TOWN NURSING SERVICE, INC.


PLANNING BOARD REPORT


The Sedgwick Planning Board was greatly disappointed that the Town Dock on the Benjamin River was not completed for use last summer.


The lowest of three bidders promised a start on the cribs and walkway by June 21. This was missed and a firm date of July 15 was agreed upon only to be later extended to Sept. 1.


Work on the land end for ramp access, parking and abutment has been com-


28


pleted and logs for cribbing and supports are now available at the dock site.


Approvals have been obtained for the dock site from the U. S. Corps of Engineers and the Maine Environmental Improvement Commission. Every ef- fort will be made to complete the Town Dock as soon as possible.


Town Representatives to the Hancock County Planning Commission have been regularly attending monthly meetings in Ellsworth.


The Commission has completed necessary organization arrangements and filed for certification by the Federal Housing and Urban Development group in Washington.


Hancock County Towns have 10 million dollars in projects requested or underway, which will bring in $400,000 in bonuses to member towns of a certified Regional Planning Commission.


An office and small staff has been established as required for certification.


A state law now requires that Shoreland areas, both fresh and salt water, have zoning and subdivision control ordinances by June 30, 1973. Guide lines for such ordinances are soon to be announced by the State Planning Office.


The County Planning Commission is now reviewing plans for use of a sanitary land fill program for solid waste disposal. It has been suggested that communities be grouped into small districts, each using a common land fill site. Such an ar- rangement is being tried on Mount Desert Island.

LADIES AUXILIARY FIRE DEPARTMENT


To the Citizens of Sedgwick:


The Sedgwick Ladies Auxiliary for the benefit of the Sedgwick Vol. Fire Dept. would like to give their report for the year 1971.


We have had various fund raising projects besides our membership drive. Our treasury has a total of $222.08 to date.


During the past year we have contributed $18.64 for six pairs of insulated gloves. We have bought two smoke masks with oxygen tanks with the capacity of 50 mins. oxygen supply and one extra oxygen tank to have on hand for a spare. The Firemen are to be instructed in the proper use of this equipment. The total cost of these items was $986.00.


In January, the Firemen invited the Ladies Auxiliary to inspect the new addition to the fire house. This addition has made it possible to keep all three trucks under cover at the Fire House in North Sedgwick.

COMMENTS * * * * * * *


The financial position of the town appears to have been improved, the major factor being that the unexpended departmental balances total $3,246.46 in contrast to overdrafts of $674.39. In certain areas the costs reflect a shorter fiscal period. Additions to the Capital Reserve Fund have increased the provision for the Dock, Ramp and Picnic Facilities, this fund being available for use when- ever authorized by the voters. A factor to be considered in the determination of financial gain pertains to the procurement of snow plow equipment, with the result- ing overdraft being carried forward. This procedure is in accordance with the modern accounting method of charging the snow removal account rental for such equipment, otherwise the factor of depreciation is ignored. It is believed that the current rental is at a rate much too low to compensate for both depreciation plus the cost of replacements. The unexpended balance for snow removal is in part unrealistic.


It is suggested that the terms of a voted tax levy or an appropriation for the preservation of town records specify that the account continue for a period longer than one fiscal year. Such projects are not easy to complete immediately, consequently the 1971 tax levy has reverted to surplus and is thus counted as if a financial profit.
