On Wednesday April 8th the Jackson Memorial Library will be hosting a "Candidates' Night" at the town office. This even will focus on LOCAL candidates running for select board and school board. Join us to meet those candidates. (Those running for US senate, the governor's seat, etc. will NOT be participating in this event.) If you'd like to participate via Zoom please send your name and physical address to webadmin@stgeorgemaine.com and we'll reply with the login info.
It's Tuesday. Yes, the transfer station is open.
Speaking of the transfer station, did you know about the excellent paint recycling we have? If you have liquid paint* in the container, with the label still on it, you can recycle it? Just place it in the drop off area. There's no extra charge; the disposal fees are paid at the time of purchase.
*What do we mean by "liquid paint"? That means paint that isn't all dried up, or paint that's been mixed with woodchips or sawdust. Those were old paint disposal techniques, and that paint can't be recycled. If it's all hard or mixed with sawdust it goes right into the demolition hopper.

Property Maintenance Manager Steve Jarrett was recently making sure his personnel file had all his training classes properly documented. This man is trained! If fact, while searching through his stuff he also found he's a licensed tax preparer and a licensed hair dresser*! Keep up the learning Steve.
*This is a joke. What's not a joke? These aren't ALL the certificates Steve has.

Your final property tax payment is due by March 31st. Interest of 7.5% will begin acruing April 1st. Please make plans to have your payment in before then!
We're doing a staff shout out a little early this week. It's St. Paddy's day, so it seems only fitting we recognize one our very own Paddys, EMT Shawn McBrien.
"From the moment I set foot in Midcoast Maine my heart said I was home. I feel fortunate and grateful to have been led to this place, its people, and the work of emergency medicine. As an EMT at St. George EMS I have the honor of serving alongside an amazing group of first-responders, dedicated to family and this community. I am also immensely gratified to serve members of this community on a very human, elemental level. I was asked to include something about what I like to do in my free time. I’ll let you know when I am completely finished paramedic school with my medic license in hand--though I did promise my roses they would get more attention this year. "

Tonight through Sunday is the Mussel Ridge Hoops Tournament! It will feature not only basketball, but prizes/raffles and tons of great food. Set aside some time in your schedule this weekend; it's tourney time!
Chuck Sisson is one of our EMTs. Something he likes to do in his free time is paint. And like many artists, he's frequently not happy with his work. We, on the other hand, LOVE it. The pink shoreland painting hangs in the front office, and MANY people compliment it.

Tuesday. Yes, the Transfer Station is open. And, they're ready to receive... your old suitcase with a broken zipper. But where does it go? It's broken, so you wouldn't want to take it to the swap shop. It's not bagged trash, so it wouldn't really go in the hopper. Where does it go? Something like this goes in the demolition dumpster.
After being delayed three months the Maine state boat registration stickers are here!

Three guys stopped into the town office: the pastor (Jerry Radley), the gentleman (Mr. Francavilla), and Randy. Sounds like we need a punchline! Truly, these three hung out and chewed the fat for quite some time. A trip to the St. George town office can turn into a visit!
