The due date for property taxes was March 31st. In a couple of weeks we'll be mailing a "30 day notification" to remind you, and to alert you you're in danger of having a lien placed on your property. That letter, with it's postage and added services, is around $10. Those fees get added to your account. And, if you have more than one address on file (like a mortgage holder, or multiple family members on the account), each one of those gets a letter too; that means the $10 for each of THOSE letters gets added to your account as well. We would prefer not to go through this process, and would prefer to to add extra charges to your account. So please, if you have outstanding taxes, could you please get them paid?

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.

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. "
