Home My Public Portal About1991 Town Report ANNUAL REPORTS OF THE TOWN OFFICERS OF THE TOWN OF ORLEANS FOR THE YEAR 1991 Printed by Athol Press Inc.,Athol,MA 01331 T1118 BOOK 18 DEDICATED to the Memory of Gn8ton Norgeot 19244991 a J � t While this annual report is dedicated to the memory of Gaston Norgeot, it would take a book of greater size than this to fist all of his accomplishments. Between the years of 1963 and 1985, he served nine terms on the Orleans Board of Selectmen. He was proud of being a "call"firemen for over twenty-five years. He was instrumental in the establishment of programs for public transit (B-Bus), medical care (E.M.S.), mental retardation (Nauset Workshop) and the treatment of alcoholism. To say that Gaston was active in local affairs would be a gross understatement. But, perhaps the least publicized and yet most appreciated efforts of Gaston,were those to help the"little people".He helped in many ways untold numbers of people who did not have their own resources or benefactors. Those of uswho knew,worked with,and loved Gaston will always think of the times,even when having his worst days,when the response to a question about how he was doing would be, "Never better'. What a great way to take on life. 2 IN MEMORIAM DORIS BERGER Orleans Historical Society 1980-1989 Orleans Historical Commission -1991 DOLLY DEADY Secretary, Council on Aging LAWRENCE ELLIS Harbormaster/Shellfish Constable 1982-1989 ANABEL FALLON Library Assistant 1981-1991 FREDERICK G.

John Ingwersen Betsy Dow Chairman Chairperson FINANCE COMMITTEE The Finance Committee was pleased by the Selectmen's decision to recommend no Proposition 2 1/2 override for the 1992 Budget. The Committee has repeatedly recom- mended curtailment of ever increasing spending, borrow- ing, and size of town government. This year's zero base budgeting for all town departments(excluding schools)is a great improvement requiring each department to justify every salary and expense. Much has been accomplished, in spite of an upward thrust due to inflation and contractual obligations.The Committee recommended passage of the Back-(1-r)Firefighter Ken Mayo-Mike Gould-Craig Bodamer-Tony Pike-Will Reynolds-Bob Felt-Peter Vogt-Paul Tassi.Front-(1-r) Town budget which was increased only$56,000 over last chief Ray Merrill-Dispatcher Susan Swanson-Deputy Chief Steve year.
