Fire Chief’s report on Fire Danger 
            Due to the extremely dry conditions this fire season, I am asking all residents to be extra vigilant and report to the contacts listed below any and all sighted smoke conditions or open burning that cannot be explained.  The sooner we investigate these situations, the easier it will be to mitigate them.   Any fires from lightning or other causes are of a higher concern under these types of conditions.   Thank you for your cooperation.

A reminder about trash bag prices:
 Kitchen-type bags, under 20 gallons, cost $0.75 and use a GREEN sticker or punch card. Conventional trash bags, from 20-35 gallons, cost $1.50 and use a YELLOW sticker or punch card. Large contractor bags (over 35 gallons) and barrels cost $2.25 and use a PINK sticker or punch card. Trash disposal can be paid for in three ways: 1) stickers for bags, 2) punch cards for bags or barrels, or 3) cash: paying transfer station attendants directly. Stickers and punch cards may be purchased either at the town office or at the transfer station.
PLEASE DO NOT TAKE BARRELS TO TRANSFER STATION THAT ARE EXCESSIVELY HEAVY AND REQUIRE MORE THAN ONE PERSON TO EMPTY.  Seasonal note: be sure your barrels are free of ice.  Thank you.
 
From the Town Clerk:

It’s that time of year again! Starting on October 15 your dog(s) need to be licensed for the ensuing year, by January 31. On February 1 fines will begin, and they will be $25 per dog.  Please be sure to stop by to register soon! You can do this in the office, through the mail (please include a check, rabies information, if necessary, and a self-addressed stamped envelope), or online at: https://www10.informe.org/dog_license/ You will be able to pay by credit card 24 hours a day!  The online service is only available through January 31.  All fines and deadlines are set by the State of Maine and cannot be waived locally. If you no longer have your dog please contact the office so it can be removed from the listing.

From the fire department: Please remember to clean your chimney, have furnace inspected, and check the batteries in carbon & smoke detectors.
