Town Selectman from 1994 through 2005, serving as the Vice Chair of the Board from 1996 through 1999 and again in 2003.

In Memoriam Sterling Norwood

June 30, 1954 - December 7, 2014

Sterling is fondly remembered by us all and he certainly left his “mark” which can be seen all over Town. Before he became self-employed, he was privileged to have as mentors Leo Laukka and the late Ernest Starrett Jr. He worked on many projects in Knox and Lincoln Counties. He helped the town of Warren with their many projects at the Warren Historical Society, the town gazebo, the walkway and ramp at the Second Congregational Church and also did a lot for the Warren Free Public Library. Sterling was always dreaming about “the next big project” Sterling was a dedicated family man, having been married to Cindy for 37 years and together they raised their 2 children, Becky and Sam and would have loved being a grandfather to little Sawyer.

Sterling was well known and respected and was a great story teller. He was old fashioned and enjoyed watching The Waltons, Little House on the Prairie, The Wizard of Oz and the Red Sox. He also enjoyed listing to old country music and music from the 60’s.

Report from the Chairman of the Select Board January 2015 - June 2015

To the Citizens of Warren

The winter of 2015 started with a lot of snow which kept the Public Works Department busy plowing and sanding until the end of March. At the March Town Meeting two new members were elected to the board, they were James Kinney and Wes Richardson. The cemetery mowing contract was awarded to Wilson Landscaping of South Thomaston. The Public Works Department was busy getting the roads ready to be paved and ditching where needed in town. A new ambulance was ordered in May for the Warren Rescue Department. A new plow truck was ordered in June for the Highway Department to be delivered before winter. At the March Town Meeting the town fiscal year was changed from January one to December 30 to July one to June thirtieth with taxes due May 15th and November 15th. Elaine Clark resigned as Town Manager and after interviewing the applicants Robin Bennett was chosen and began work on June 8, 2015 as our Interim Town Manager. I would like to thank the town employees for doing a great job. Respectfully submitted Arnold D. Hill, Chairman

Page 11: 2015 Annual Report Warren Maine Short Version

Town Manager Report

2015 was a year of transition for the Town of Warren.

The Town went from accounting its activities on a calendar year to a fiscal year basis. This report represents

that six month transition period. In order to facilitate the change, the Town adopted a six month budget in

March and then three months later adopted a budget representing July 1, 2015 thru June 30, 2016. There

were a few bumps along the way but overall it went well. This transition created the need to perform many

activities twice such as creating a budget, the numerous activities surrounding the collection of taxes, and end

of year audits. I want to thank the staff for all their hard work and the residents of the Town for all their

patience.

2015 also saw changes in personnel. Town Manager, Elaine Clark, moved onto another position. I came on

board as an Interim Manager until a new permanent Town Manager could be hired. The Board of Selectmen

also experienced some changes. Jim “Skip” Kinney and Wes Richardson were elected to the Board. I wish to

thank them for their work on the Board and their willingness to serve the citizens of Warren.

Finally, I would like thank everyone who welcomed me into your community. It has been a pleasure to work

with the residents and volunteers of Warren. Thank you to the Board of Selectmen for giving me the

opportunity to work in a Town that has such a great sense of community and concern for your fellow

neighbors. A special thank you for the staff who work with the best interest of the Town in mind and have

been a tremendous help to me as I learned about Warren.

Respectfully Submitted,

Robin M. Bennett

Dear Friends:

It is an honor to represent Maine in the United States Senate. I am grateful for the trust the people of our State have

placed in me and welcome this opportunity to share some key accomplishments from 2015.

Growing the economy by encouraging job creation was and remains my top priority. The tax-relief bill signed into law at

the close of last year contains three key provisions I authored to help foster job creation and provide small businesses

with the certainty they need to invest, grow, and, most important, hire new workers. Another provision I authored that

became law last year gives a boost to both Maine’s economy and traffic safety. This provision permanently changed the

federal law that previously had forced the heaviest trucks onto our country roads and downtown streets, rather than

allowing them to use Maine’s federal Interstates. In addition, I was glad to help secure another significant award for the

University of Maine’s deepwater offshore wind initiative, which has the potential to advance an emerging industry and

create thousands of good jobs in our state.

Maine’s historic contributions to our nation’s defense must continue. In 2015, I secured funding toward a much-needed

additional Navy destroyer, likely to be built at Bath Iron Works. Modernization projects at the Portsmouth Naval

Shipyard that I have long advocated for were also completed, as were projects for the Maine National Guard.

I was also deeply involved in crafting the new education reform law to better empower states and communities in

setting educational policy for their students. The law also extends a program I co-authored that provides additional

assistance to rural schools, which has greatly benefitted our state. A $250 tax deduction I authored in 2002 for teachers

who spend their own money on classroom supplies was also made permanent last year.

As a result of a scientific evaluation of the nutritional value of potatoes required by a law that I wrote, the wholesome

fresh potato finally was included in the federal WIC nutrition program. I also worked on other issues important to

Maine’s farmers and growers, including research on wild blueberries and pollinating bees.

As Chairman of the Housing Appropriations Subcommittee, I have made combating veterans’ homelessness a

priority. This year’s housing funding law includes $60 million for 8,000 new supportive housing vouchers for homeless

veterans. Since this program began in 2008, the number of homeless veterans nationwide has dropped by one third.

Maine has received nearly 200 vouchers to support homeless veterans.

Last year, I became Chairman of the Senate Aging Committee. My top three priorities for the committee are retirement

security, investing more in biomedical research, and fighting fraud and financial abuses targeting our nation’s seniors. I

advocated for the $2 billion increase in funding for the National Institutes of Health to advance research on such

diseases as diabetes and Alzheimer’s. The Senate also unanimously passed my bill to support family caregivers. The

Aging Committee’s toll-free hotline (1-855-303-9470) makes it easier for senior citizens to report suspected fraud and

receive assistance and has already received more than 1,000 calls.

A Maine value that always guides me is our unsurpassed work ethic. As 2015 ended, I cast my 6,072nd consecutive vote,

continuing my record of never missing a roll-call vote since my Senate service began in 1997.

I appreciate the opportunity to serve Warren and Maine in the United States Senate. If ever I can be of assistance to

you, please contact my Constituent Service Center in Augusta at (207) 622-8414 or visit my website at

www.collins.senate.gov. May 2016 be a good year for you, your family, your community, and our state.

Sincerely,

Dear Friends and Neighbors,

It has been an honor and pleasure to serve you in the 127th Maine Legislature. I represent House District

95 which includes the towns of Appleton, Hope, Warren and part of Union. My two year term will expire at the

end of this year.

One of the biggest issues we face is the serious and debilitating drug crisis which destroys so many lives

as well as threatens the safety of our families and communities. We have already begun to respond to Maine’s

substance abuse epidemic with a series of bills that provide much needed resources for enforcement, treatment

and prevention. I was pleased to support a bipartisan bill that strengthened the reach of law enforcement,

expanded peer supports and education, and improved treatment availability. The bill was supported by statewide

law enforcement, medical and treatment professionals, people in long term recovery, and others. The bill passed

the House and Senate unanimously and the Governor has signed it into law.

Other bills being deliberated in the Legislature are bills pertaining to the following important issues:

minimum wage, energy policies, welfare reform, property tax relief, and adequately funding our schools.

Whether we are dealing with the above issues or any other topic, I will continue to work with

Democrats, Republicans, and other “Independents” like myself to make sure we are doing the best we can for

the people of Maine.

Please feel free to contact me about any issues that are important to you or if you are having trouble with

any state agencies. You may reach me on my personal cell phone (207) 975-3020, or in Augusta at 1-800-423-

2900 or 287-1400. My Legislative e-mail address is: [email protected].

Again, it has been an honor and pleasure to serve the towns of House District 95 in the Maine

Legislature.

Sincerely,

Gary E. Sukeforth

Dear Friends of Warren,

I hope this town report letter finds you and your family well in 2016. Thank you for the opportunity to represent you and

this community in the Maine Legislature. I appreciate the many conversations and feedback as I go around the district.

In my travels, I have been passing along a few items that I thought might be of interest to you as well.

Unclaimed Property: if you have a chance, it may be worth your while to check out the updated statewide unclaimed

property list. Every year, the Treasurer's Office produces a list of unclaimed property, which consists of money and other

personal assets that are considered lost or abandoned when an owner cannot be located after a specified period of

time. Visit www.maine.gov/unclaimed or call 1-888-283-2808 to see if you have any unclaimed property.

Honorary Page Program: provides students a unique chance to observe and participate in the legislative process. As an

Honorary Page, students deliver messages, distribute documents, interact with the senators, and most importantly take

part in a real legislative learning experience. If you know of a student who may be interested, or would like more

information, please contact my office at (207) 287-1515. It would be my honor to meet with the student and his/her

family during the visit to the State House.

Legislative Update: is part of my effort to keep you informed about what is happening in the Legislature. This periodic

email allows me to share information that is useful and informative to you and our district. Please email me at

[email protected] or call to sign up.

I look forward to continuing our work in the legislature. I will do as I have always done and work with all sides to do what

is best for you, our district, and our state. Please feel free to contact me anytime.

Sincerely,

Dave Miramant

*At the meeting it was decided to place applicant Heather Badger on the pending list for the Cyrus Eaton Scholarship until we received more information. The information was received and the scholarship amount was formalized by the Warren Scholarship Advisory Committee via email vote on January 21, 2016. **In January Chairman Dan Swindler informed the Warren Scholarship Advisory Committee that Erika Knutson had not been awarded an amount from the Cyrus Eaton Scholarship. The committee, for whatever reason, did not receive her application with all of the others that were submitted. By this time the awards had been disbursed, and since we had used the allotted money available to us, we were regrettably not going to be able to include her. Subsequently money from that account did become available when another recipient’s plans changed. The amount of $1,000 was formalized by the Warren Scholarship Advisory Committee via email vote on January 21, 2016, to be awarded to Erika.

2015 Public Works Report January – June

Some of the activities for the first half of 2015 were as follows: Plowed and sanded roads through record breaking season of snow fall. Spring cleaned and prepped the cemeteries for mowing. Cleaned, raked and mowed Payson Park for opening. North Pond Road paving prep started with 2400+ feet of ditching and 440’ of culvert was installed.

Transfer Station Report January – June 2015

The Transfer Station has pretty much run on auto pilot since my last report, thanks to my co-worker Ralph Lenfestey and the on call fill in workers that help as needed. A job well done to all of them. Recycling is something that if done correctly can help reduce the footprint left behind by mankind. Currently America only recycles about 30% of their trash. The last number I was aware of for Warren was about 22%. Needless to say we are falling behind instead of going forward. I would like to give you a few ideas on how to reduce and reuse items instead of bringing them to the Transfer Station. Ever thought about buying used instead of new. It is easy to find local outlets and groups on the web that would be glad to show and sell you an item. Often you can find items that are just as good as new and less expensive. Look for products that use less packaging. Less packaging uses less materials which in turn will reduce waste and cost. A win win for the companies, consumers and the landfills. Buying reusable over disposable items also makes sense. Little things like that will make a difference. Borrow, rent or share items that are used infrequently is another great idea to loosen our carbon footprint and certainly helps sustain the environment for future generations to come. One last thing I would like to add is when you bring items to the Transfer Station for recycling please clean and rinse items. If they are not clean they are thrown away. We have no place to clean them at the Transfer Station. Over the years that I have been at the Transfer Station we have added many items that can now be recycled but the numbers still go down for recycling. If anyone knows why or has any ideas on how to improve our recycling please do not hesitate to let me know. I have done everything I can do to help keep your costs down but now I need your help to lower the costs and get recycling up. Remember everything you can recycle at the Transfer Station does have a direct cost to you. Hours of Operation: Thursday 12 noon to 6 PM – Friday 12 Noon to 6 PM – Saturday 8 AM to 4 PM Phone numbers: Transfer Station 273-2290 – Town Office 273-2421 If we do not answer, leave a message and we will return your call.

April 11, 2016 To The Citizens Of Warren: It is my pleasure once again to update you on some of the highlights of the Warren Sanitary District’s operations over the past year. The District continues to operate smoothly. The Route 1 widening project last year, though disruptive from a traffic perspective, had very little impact on our operation. We had four manholes that had to be adjusted to match the new pavement, but we were able to have that done in conjunction with the widening at a very reasonable cost. We would like to thank Lane Construction and the MDOT for their efforts to protect our system from damage and disruption during that project. Our waste discharge license was renewed last April. We did not seek any modifications to our discharge limits and the renewal went smoothly. Our license will next be open for renewal in early 2020. We cleaned the collection system east of the river last October with a high-pressure water jet. We would like to thank the Warren Fire Department for providing the water necessary for that project. This year we will clean the system west of the river. Each year we clean at least a third of the system so that no pipe goes uncleaned for more than three years. As always, please notify us at once if you are having problems with your drains or see a problem with the sewer system. As mentioned last year, most personal hygiene products marked “flushable” are not suitable for disposal in public sewers. They can cause severe problems with sewer collection systems and pumping equipment. The District uses a JWC Muffin Monster hydraulic grinder to protect our pumps from clogging due to these products, but they can still cause blockages and other issues upstream of the pump station. In order to keep our system running as smoothly as possible we urge users not to flush anything more durable than toilet paper down the drain. We have an increasing number of sewer users along Route 1 and Route 97. The most recent connection this past year was Maine Natural Health, across from the Sandy Shores Road. These connections are outside the boundaries of the District, but the District is able to accept them by separate contract. Based on anticipated usage or other technical issues it might make sense for property owners with failing systems along this corridor to connect to our system rather than replace their septic systems. Connection to the force main, however, requires installation of a pump station, and it is the user’s responsibility to install and maintain this pump station. Users connected to the force main are encouraged to test their pump, float switches, and check valve(s) at least annually to verify proper operation. This protects their property in the event of a pump or power failure, and also ensures they do not incur excess energy costs from pumping inefficiency. We are happy to answer any questions regarding the connection or testing process.

Page 25: 2015 Annual Report Warren Maine Short Version

The District does all it can to hold the rate for a single-family household (or ERU, Equivalent Residential User) to $62 per quarter. An assessment fee could also be a factor for each new dwelling or ERU that was not in existence when the system was built. It is best to contact me with any questions pertaining to your sewer bill when considering whether to add a rental unit, as additional dwelling units each incur an additional ERU. I am happy to explain this system and provide a copy of our user charges and rules and regulations upon request. I would like to thank the members of the Board of Trustees for all their hard work, the meetings they attend, and the tough decisions they make. It is an honor to work with them. The Warren Sanitary District is governed by a five-member Board comprised of the following members: Ed Courtenay exp. 2018 John Cooke exp. 2017 Mark Anderson exp. 2017 Clayton Winchenbach exp. 2018 Robert Graham exp. 2017 The Board meets on the third Monday of each month at 7 PM at the treatment plant. These meetings are open to the public and all are most welcome to attend. Respectfully, Ed LaFlamme Executive Director

As I have said before, in the past few years the fire service has undergone some major changes with mandates

and regulations. At times it seems impossible to keep up with these changes. Bear in mind mandates cost

money, but we are left with no choice, but to comply.

After you have called the fire department or rescue, try to take care of the emergency yourself if possible. I

stress, do not try to control the emergency first and then call us because it slows down our response time and the

emergency gets out of control. We need to know immediately.

The telephone number for all emergencies, fire or rescue is now 911 statewide.

We are continuing to see a high number of traffic accidents. These seem to be mainly caused by high speeds

and distracted driving.

Keep in mind that the department is constantly purchasing smaller equipment and gear with money that the

Tiger Engine Company has raised themselves or had donated to us and does not come from tax revenue.

Page 27: 2015 Annual Report Warren Maine Short Version

We would like to thank those of you that have donated money to the department. We had a number of very

large donations in 2015 and I want to an give extra special thanks to those people. This money is extremely

appreciated as it allows us to make needed purchases without putting a strain on the taxpayers.

Keep in mind that the ISO rating has now been changed to a 6 for the entire town of Warren. The insurance

services office (ISO) has a number systems that the homeowner’s fire insurance companies go by. Warren’s

numbers have been 6/9 for many years. Since 2012 the Warren Fire Department and the neighboring towns

have been working to get this number down. The lower the number the less expensive your homeowner’s

insurance should be. We started in September 2012 and worked for more than 13 months on this project. It

started with certifying water sources, such as farm ponds and rivers that are available for us to draw water from.

With that being done we had to schedule a water shuttle or tanker operation using 7 tankers. We drilled at this

many times throughout 2013 and in October of 2013 we set up this tanker shuttle operation and had it timed and

witnessed by an ISO agent. The results are now in and it is an ISO rating of 6 for the entire town. Be sure that

when you renew your insurance policies, your insurance company is aware of this new rating as it should help

lower the cost of your premium.

We continue to deal with more and more regulations from OSHA and Maine Bureau of Labor.

The fire department has for sale, illuminated house address numbers. Contact Paul Andrews at 273-2667 or

Clayt Winchenbach at 273-2622. They are available in two colors, green and blue. These address numbers are

an extremely valuable tool for our emergency services, fire and rescue, to locate your residence in the event of

an emergency as they are extremely visible, especially at night.

Also those of you that have long driveways, you need to post your address number out by the end of your

driveway so that we can see it from the road. Also, you need to keep the trees and bushes lining those long

driveways and cottage roads trimmed to an opening of 14 ft. in height and 20 ft. plus in width to allow us access

with our emergency vehicles. Our vehicles, both fire and ambulance, are a lot larger today than they were in

past years and these trees will destroy lights and equipment we have on the top and sides of these vehicles.

They also may hinder us in getting to you and your emergency in time.

I have stressed in the past you should be extremely careful, especially if you are heating with wood. Wood

requires proper disposal of ashes; remember live coals will live in ashes in a container for weeks and then when

opened to air they will ignite and re-burn.

Once again, don't forget, to be within State law you need to obtain a permit to burn brush or debris year round.

I want to thank members of the Department, Warren Rescue Service and the crew of the Warren Highway

Department for the outstanding help and support.

LOCAL HEALTH OFFICER’S REPORT To the Residents of Warren: Every Maine town is required by state law to have a Local Health Officer (LHO). The primary responsibilities of the LHO include: 1. Health resource to the town—the LHO might not have the answers to your questions but they can get

the information for you and steer you in the direction of the proper authorities, as well as continuing their training in public health matters;

2. Mediator and problem-solver in the resolution of complaints—this might mean involving the Code Enforcement officer, Animal Control Officer, Local Plumbing Inspector, or the Fire Chief; 3. Investigator and enforcer of complaints that cannot be resolved—it is required that all state laws, rules of the Department of Health and Human Services, and local health ordinances be strictly enforced; 4. Reports to the Board of Selectmen on the town’s health status; 5. Reports to Maine CDC and/or DHHS on perceived local health threats. It appears that the number of Maine cases of influenza was down this year; this is partly due to so many people getting the flu vaccination, remembering to cover their mouth and nose when sneezing and coughing, washing hands frequently, and keeping hands away from eyes, mouths, and noses which provides a perfect route for the germs to get into our bodies. Recently the news has been covering the zika virus. This is a mosquito-borne illness that can affect anyone, with or without obvious symptoms, but it appears to cause babies of infected pregnant women to be born with microcephaly. The virus is occurring in Africa, Southeast Asia, and the Pacific Islands. It has occurred in US Territories (Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, US Virgin Islands, and American Somoa). If you are traveling to any of these countries be aware and take proper precautions. We have all been aware of the increase in the tick population and the resulting possibility of contracting Lyme disease, but now there is something else to be aware of. There are many reports of people being bitten by the Lone Star Tick (so-called because of a small white patch—lone star—on the back of the adult female tick). When this tick bites a person it can introduce a sugar called alpha-gal, which in some people can cause a severe allergic reaction when eating red meat. The allergic reaction is not necessarily immediate. Everyone is encouraged to help prevent being bitten by wearing protective clothing, keeping the living/playing areas of their yard free of tall grasses, and always check yourself when you have been outside. This year I have not been contacted for any tenant/landlord issues, but keep in mind that another of my responsibilities is to make sure that tenants and landlords are protected. If you have any concerns or questions about health or environmental risks I can be reached by calling the Town Office at 273-2421. I look forward to being able to help you in any way I can.

Respectfully submitted,

Christine S. Wakely Local Health Officer

2015 Merrill Payson Park Report

Payson Park is located on Route 90 on the Georges River. In 2015 this green space was a beehive of activity as it has been for years for adults and children alike. Children were very busy on the swings and merry-go-round while strengthening their bodies on the jungle gym and climbing dome. The grills were sizzling all summer providing tasty meals for all the parties and celebrations that took place under the shelter and at nearby tables. Thanks to all of you who took out your trash with you. Fishermen were evident all year on the Georges River. Eagles, osprey, shag and seagulls all visited and feasted from this river. Two boy scouts from Warren completed projects located in this park. Two wooden teepee like structures now stand near the dome. Across the footbridge is an informational board for facts and photos related to the Georges River Canal System. The remains of this 2nd oldest canal system in America are located along footpaths and 2 staircases across the river. The public can also enjoy spring wildflowers along these paths. The Bog Brigade Snowmobile Club maintain the footbridge each winter and will be making repairs to this bridge come spring. Many thanks to this organization for their work. During the warmer seasons of 2016 we plan to install a third see saw. Repairs will be made to the timber retaining wall around the swings plus we’ll provide more mulch beds under and around the other playground equipment. We have two vacancies on this committee. We encourage anyone interest to please call Helene Rondeau at 273-2962 or Joan Winchenbach at 273-2622. Tax deductible donations are always appreciated and should be sent to the Merrill Payson Park Memorial Fund c/o Joan Winchenbach, 142 Oyster River Road, Warren, ME 04864 As the gate went up across the access road to this park a wreath constructed by Joy Harris was hung on the Payson Park sign, ending another successful year for this community park.

2015 Warren Day Report

Your Warren Day Committee has been working hard to bring a spectacular Warren Day for 2016. We want to thank the community and businesses who have sent checks and put change in our collection cans. It has come to my attention that many of you think Warren Day is run and funded by the town of Warren. This is not true. It is actually run by three local individuals and a handful of very special volunteers. There are many expenses you may not think of that have to be met before we can celebrate Warren Day. Some of the expenses are insurance costs, rental of bounce house, and cost of parade participants, entertainment and more. In the past we have been able to fund a firework display and will continue to do that if we have the money. To keep the tradition alive like our parents and grandparents did we need more community support. By spreading the word that this is not a town run event, we are hoping for more volunteers and support. Nothing is free, you would be surprised at the costs involved to have certain community bands, mascots and others participate in the parade alone. That being said, we look forward to continue seeing everyone at our town's celebration. The last weekend in June. Committee Members Barbara Moore George Field Amy Mank

Warren Field and Garden Club Annual Report 2015

Warren has several areas around town where gardens and grounds are planted with flowers and shrubs. The Warren Field and Garden Club has worked over the years to design and maintain gardens at the Post Office, Payson Park on Route 90, the Warren Historical Society, Woolen Mill Park and the Monument. We are currently looking for low maintenance ideas to make the Monument area more attractive and pleasing year round. Members also plant the flower boxes at the entrance to the town on Route 1 and Route 90. The boxes are decorated for winter interest as well. Take time to notice them as you drive into town. The Warren Field and Garden Club met in February at the Campbell House to plan for our Spring Plant Sale and to set the schedule for our summer garden tours and lectures. The trips to area gardens and agricultural and horticultural businesses are looked forward to through the long winter we have had. In May we were treated to lovely spring bulbs and flowering shrubs and trees in the garden of Barbara Furey in Rockport. Approaching from Simonton's Corner one would never realize what lies behind the simple cape. Paths wind through the gardens and around a lovely man-made pond. In June we gathered for a trip to Aveena Botanicals in West Rockport. Deb Soule gave us a special tour of the herb gardens that form the supply house for the herbal potions and teas that make Aveena unique to our part of the coast. The Spring Plant Sale was held in late May at the Ferren's Red Farm on Rout 90. We have held the sale there for many years but this was the last one at that location. We thank them for their generosity over the years. The Plant Sale proceeds allow us to offer a scholarship to a student from Warren who plans to study some form of agriculture, horticulture, or a related field. We also sponsor two children from Warren Community School for a week at Camp Tanglewood each year. Next year we will hold the sale at the Odd Fellows on Route 90 and we hope that our loyal customers will find us there and support these efforts The Warren Field and Garden Club is an organization that welcomes all to its programs and trips. We encourage participation in any of the programs or trips that are planned for the coming season. For more information and schedules contact President Carolyn Damon at 542-6065 or Nancy Blake at 701-8474.

Warren Recreation Committee Report 2015

January 2015 – June 2015

The following programs were offered by the Warren Recreation Committee during the first half of the 2015 calendar year. In the spring, we ran Tee-ball, Upper and Lower Minor League Baseball, Minor League Softball and Little League Baseball and Softball. These programs got started in Mid-April and ran through June. I also stepped up and ran the entire Medomak Girls Pee-Wee Basketball program for all 5 towns this year and I will continue to try to help that group get stronger and get the numbers back up for each age level. We ran a K-2 basketball program from late January thru February and as always we continued to help facilitate the Medomak Boy’s Pee-Wee Basketball program with gym times for games and practices. Our Cheerleading program was in full swing in January and we had a huge group this season. All four of these cheer squads will compete at tournaments in Bangor and Augusta, while the youngest group will do some sideline cheering at games as well. We hosted the March Mayhem Basketball Tournaments for Pee-Wee Travel squads (which was again a big success!) and also ran an Open Gym program on Sundays throughout the fall and winter seasons for K thru 12th graders to work on basketball skills and jump into pick-up games. The following is a brief description of our programs in the first half of the 2015 season:

Basketball Program

The Warren Recreation Committee offered a K-2 basketball program and over sixty children participated in 2015, with six teams in total. Multiple volunteers are required to coach each team at this level. We always stress learning the fundamentals and having a positive experience for this group, as we do in all of our sports for these grades. I have been very lucky in recent years to have quality volunteers step up and keep it fun for the kids. Warren Recreation once again collaborated with the Medomak Valley Pee-Wee Basketball Program for the 2014/15 season, to provide basketball for boys and girls in grades 3 through 6. It was decided that we continue with the same set up, but bring in new faces to help keep the league functioning similarly to the way it had, while letting the varsity coaches finally step away from running the teams. The majority of the issues that had come up with the league had been on the girl’s side of the program, so I stepped up and ran that side of the league for all 5 towns. I thought it was a successful year and I was able to pull enough girls up to get to 3 teams for each age group. I am looking to get stronger numbers each season. We also provided a three hour Open Gym period for children of all ages throughout the winter months on Sunday afternoons. It has always been a great way for kids to get together and practice or play pick-up games without the stress that they often deal with on their Pee-wee, Middle school or High school teams! For the ninth time in 2015; the Warren Recreation Committee organized our largest fund-raising event of the year and offered three consecutive week-ends of basketball called the March Mayhem Tournaments. Over 30 teams competed and groups from across the Mid-Coast and the state converged on Warren for some exciting basketball games! It is always the biggest fund-raising event of the year for the recreation department and it takes all 11 members to pull it off!

Cheering Program

Cheering was once again available for children from Kindergarten through the 6th grade. Our numbers jumped for the third straight year and we were lucky enough to find the coaches for four teams this season and a grand total of sixty three athletes came out to cheer! We had so many girls this year, that we split into Kindergarten, first and second grade, third grade and fourth thru sixth grade squads. As the high school welcomed two male cheerleaders to their award winning squad, we also welcomed our first male athlete to our older group and it just shows how much we have grown and how far our teams have come. Our Kindergarten team did some sideline cheering at our K-2 basketball games, but the main focus of all four of our squads was the two cheer

Page 39: 2015 Annual Report Warren Maine Short Version

competitions that they participated in during the months of February and March. These meets took place in Augusta and Bangor. There was a lot of excitement for all four groups as we held our second annual “Cheer Showcase” for all of the parents and family that can’t make it to either state meet. We have AMAZING coaches that have stepped up for these young ladies! The truly awesome part about our coaches is that the majority of them have no children of their own on these squads!!! All of the teams worked on routines to compete with at these tournaments, but also continued to work on the basics and fundamentals of cheering and tumbling that will help them grow as athletes. Our hope is that our cheer program will give them the opportunity to compete for spots on squads at the Middle School and High School levels. I was excited to see what these groups could do at the state competitions this season and two of our squads won first place and another took third!

Baseball/Softball Program

Warren’s Recreational Baseball and Softball programs consisted of one Little League baseball team, one Little League Softball team, one “Lower” Minor League baseball team, two “Upper” minor league baseball teams and two Minor League Softball teams. We also had 4 co-ed T-ball teams and the total participation in our programs for 2015 was over 130 children, along with two or three adult volunteers for each team. Once again this season, our younger boys, ranging from six to eight years of age, participated in a “coach pitch only” system. Our older boys, that included nine, ten and eleven year olds, traveled and played games that were much closer to Little League rules and there wasn’t allot of change from past seasons. This has been very beneficial to both age groups and will continue to get our boys more prepared for the jump to Little League. Our Minor League Softball teams traveled as well this season and that program continues to be a successful transition to Little League Softball. We had 4 T-ball teams that we kept in town this year, as we like to ease parents into our organized sports and all of the travel that they will have ahead in the coming years! The board of Medomak Little League continues to meet as a group, with representatives from each town in the district to oversee the new league. We have elected officers for all of the positions of the board and will meet again before you know it, to discuss the 2016 season! Despite a continued drop in numbers league wide in baseball and softball, our hope is to revitalize this sport and these teams that were once very strong in all of our communities.

The first part of the 2015 Warren Recreation season has passed and we will be heading into a busy stretch to finish out the calendar year. Our programs remain strong and our numbers are steady. We will continue to remain committed to providing positive coaches, usable fields and look to make improvements to all of our programs, buildings and facilities whenever we can. We continue to carry eleven active recreation members, but as some of their own children move on to higher levels and different schools, I expect there to be some turn over in the near future. I know that bringing new individuals into the group will re-energize and push us to maintain our level of commitment and motivation towards all of our programs. It will be tough to see any of these members go, as they have done so much for the youth of Warren. I look forward to new acquaintances and friendships in the coming year and standing shoulder to shoulder with our members, old and new, to continue to provide the programs that the residents of Warren expect and the young athletes of our town deserve!

Sexton & Town Cemetery Caretaker Report January 2015 - June 2015

To the Citizens of Warren

The winter of 2015 with the heavy snowfall caused a lot of damage to trees in the cemeteries. The Public Works Department did a good job cleaning the broken off limbs and removing the brush and limbs. Bob Williams did some stone repairs. The summer mowing contract was awarded to Wilson Landscaping of South Thomaston and a good job was done at mowing and trimming around the stones. Respectfully submitted Arnold D. Hill, Sexton and Caretaker

Woolen Mill Park January 2015 - June 2015

The Congregational Church had their annual Easter sunrise service and they joined with the Baptist Church and had a service with lovely music at another time. Despite the lack of snow, a fun time was had at the Christmas Tree lighting on the first Sunday in December. Santa distributed candy canes, arriving by fire truck, and stayed to have pictures taken with the children. Both of our ministers gave us thoughts to ponder of the holiday season. Reggie and Joe and their helpers did a great job pulling it all together - thank you!! Thanks to Eric Sewell for the many trees and Joy Harris for all the lovely Christmas wreaths. We will continue to have the badminton set for families and children to enjoy. It was used also during the music venues by the kids. If anyone has extra rackets or birdies or soccer balls you can put them in the tote by the bench. They will be appreciated. Our main problem to discuss this year is the path around the park. Grass has grown up in many places. I have discussed this with the company that put it in and they will not do anything about it. We have 2 choices which we have to give thought to--just let the grass grow in or have the present path redone. It really is used a lot if anyone has thoughts about it give me a call. Our injured tree was beautiful this year so Barry decided we should keep it another year and see what happens. If it does not survive the Garden Club has offered to replace it. Have you noticed the Lupine have taken hold and are spreading? Those were from spreading seeds. If any of you have other flower seeds to spare spread them along the banking along with the wild flowers. Hopefully we will have flowers all through the flowering season. Dick and Audrey Ferren have moved to New Hampshire and will be greatly missed. Dick has diligently taken care of the trees since planting.
