1 1 1 Dr. Cosgrove also suggested Mr. Poolner also contact Beatrice Phair in the Town Manager's Office about programs for the elderly. Mr. Poolner said that he asked to go before the Board to find out just what is available and what the Town was offering in a way of clinics for the people. He said he would like to run a blood pressure clinic on Saturdays so that they could get the "Working People" to come to it and get their pressure checked. He said if he runs them on Weekdays all that would come is senior citizens and apparently they have clinics to go to elsewhere. Dr. Cosgrove suggested it would be a good idea to check some of the high school students. Sometimes they have high blood pressure and are unaware of it. Mr. Poolner told the Board that they plan to have a nurse do their clinics and also an assistant to help with the clinic. He said the nurse would advise the person whether or not they should contact their physician and if the person does not have a physician they will have a referral list there for them to see. Mr. Poolner also, plans to put on a "lung function test. diabetes screening and a hard of hearing screening clinic besides the blood pressure screening. He said they will have two clinics a month after the initial clinics. Mr. Poolner then thanked the Board and retired. Lisa Fitzgerald then came before the Board. She was accompanied by her father FITZGERALD and Karen bresnihan (she helps her with the horses). Lisa came into see if her ANIMAL permit could be raised to keep 6 horses on the premises instead of the 4 that PERMIT she currently had. 32 BEDFORD STREET Dr. Cosgrove, Chairman; told Lisa that Mr. Smith, the Health Director, and Barry Littleton, Animal Inspector, went to the Fitzgerald property to check the property out. Mr. Smith reported that the manure pit is very unsatisfactory. He told the Fitzgerald that when he and Barry were up there inspecting the property they went on the land that is leased to her and a young man came out and threatened them if they didn't get off the property he would let his four dogs loose to chase them and he was abusive with his talk to the two of them. Dr. Cosgrove said not to be too sure that the Board wouldn't file in court against that person threatening them as they had a right to be on the property as long as that land was leased to the Fitzgerald's for that purpose. Mr. Fitzgerald said the neighbor has nothing to do with Lisa's land. Mr. Smith said they are dealing with Lisa alone. She can have four horses and no more on her property and if the manure pit isn't any better soon, hw will recommend even the four horses be removed. Lisa said that Barry told her she could have a three -sided manure pit with a cover. She also said what the neighbor did had nothing to do with it. Mr. Lambie said it does have something to do with it. If you're leasing the Johnson property for horses, we have every right to go on it and inspect it.
