RE: Pop Warner Football 2004 State Champions
Dear Peter:

I am on the Board of Directors of the Reading Pop Warner Football and Cheering
program. As you probably know, in 2004 our football "C" Squad won the state
championship for their division, and, unfortunately, lost the New England Championship
game to the team which eventually went on to win the national title in Florida. We are
very proud of our boys and their coaches who worked so hard to achieve something never
before realized in the 25+ year history of Reading Pop Warner.
This Saturday, January 29, we will be having our banquet. I am hoping that the
Town Board of Selectmen could issue a citation commemorating the achievements of this
team. I would read it at the banquet, and present it to the Head Coach, John Wrobel. Of
note is that one of the Assistant Coaches works for the Town (Paul Jackson with the Fire
Department), and another works for RMLD (Larry Gilligan). I am certain that the kids
would get a big kick out of the citation, and the coaching staff would justifiably take
pride in the recognition.
I apologize for the last-minute request, as I should have thought of this long ago.
It would be greatly appreciated if you could arrange to have the Board of Selectmen
consider this request at their meeting tomorrow night. Thank you very much for your
assistance in this matter.
Sincerely,
Wi liam F. CrovV ey

TOWN MANAGER'S REPORT
Tuesday, January 25, 2005
o Nomination papers are now available for Town officers. 50 signatures for officers and 10 in their
precinct for Town meeting members are required. Nomination papers are due back in the Town
Clerk's office by 5 PM on February 15.
Regarding the entry of Verizon into the fiber optic business in Reading, and potentially into the
Cable TV business, please see the attached email and material from Dom LaCava of T-TAC
♦ Four members of the Reading Police Department were in Washington DC this week, assisting in
security for the Presidential Inauguration. They were: Chief Robert Silva, and Officers Jack Kyle,
Mike Fitzgerald, and Matt Edson. Hopefully they brought back a pot of Federal Aid - maybe a
small part of what the Inauguration cost?
The Reading Clergy Association sponsored a performance by an African American dance troupe
in celebration of Martin Luther King Day. The turnout was good and the performance was
exceptional.
o There is an opening on the Board of Registrars for a Democrat. We have asked the Democratic
Town Committee for a recommendation.
♦ Jim Francis has just indicated that he will be resigning from FINCOM for business reasons. When
we get his formal resignation we will post the vacancy.
® There had been an issue about the appointment process of the Accounting Manager at the RMLD,
but it has been resolved through the RMLB having the authority to appoint the Accounting
Manager/Business Manager.
♦ "Dateline" aired a TV show on the solving of a 30-year-old murder of Robin Gilbert in Reading.
This is the so-called "Meadowbrook" murder. I talked to one of the participants in the show, who
said that the show was generally accurate. She was very grateful that the murder had been
solved, and was especially appreciative of the work of police Lt. Detective Kevin Patterson.
o The DPW deserves a great deal of credit for their handling of the recent blizzard. Snow clean-up
is still ongoing - the Square should take another night or two.
® Patrol Officer Peter O'Brien's last day on the job is next Wednesday. Peter is retiring after a
lifetime career with the Town.
