Office Hours – We are open Monday and Thursday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on Friday. As always, if you need assistance during other days and times, please don’t hesitate to call and we will do our best to accommodate your needs. Office Closed – The Town Office will be closed Monday, May 30, 2016 in observance of Memorial Day. New OPEN Flag – We have a new OPEN flag that will be flying when the Town Office is open. Many times we see people drive or walk up to the door so they can determine whether or not we are open. We hope the flag will help! New Employee – We have a brand new position and a brand new employee, Ann Thaxter . Since Dick and Diane Calder retired as our Cemetery team, we have struggled to find replacements. Last year, Beth Howe volunteered to do thework of a Cemetery Superintendent and Tom Calder was contracted to mow the cemetery. We have just hired Ann Thaxter for both jobs, Cemetery Superintendent and Cemetery Maintenance. We are looking forward to having Ann as part of our team. Property Taxes Due – The second half of property taxes was due April 1, 2016. Interest on the amount due April 1st began to accrue April 2, 2016. If you have questions about the amount due, please call the Town Office at 207-846-3148. The tax lien process will begin during the month of May. Temporary restrictions on registering NEW vehicles – Because of recent changes in personnel at the Town Office, we are restricted to processing Re-Registrations and

Transfers using the same license plate. We have completed our training sessions with the Bureau of Motor Vehicles and with our software company, TRIO. We are waiting for word from BMV as to when the restrictions will be lifted. Thank you very much for your patience. If you have a new vehicle, you will need to come to the Town Office to pay Excise Tax and then finish the registration at one of the State of Maine Motor Vehicle offices.
