Elwell Appointed Fire Chief

At the January 10th Selectboard Meeting the Selectboard appointed David Elwell as the South Thomaston Fire Chief. David has been an officer for approximately 16 years. He started as a Captain, moved to Assistant Chief then Deputy Chief. He replaces Bryan Calderwood who retired in December after 30 years of service.

Congratulations Chief Elwell. Thank you for your many years of service to the Town of South Thomaston Chief Calderwood.

The transfer station sticker needs to be picked up at the transfer station. The cost is $20 and will also be good until December 31, 2024.

FIREFIGHTERS NEEDED

TOWN REPORT DEDICATIONS

Leslie Spear has compiled a list of Town Report Dedications from 1968 to 2021/22. I’ve posted them on the Informational Documents and Useful Links page, under Town Resources. Thank you Leslie!

Village School

Once the South Thomaston Public Library moved out of the Village School into Gilford Butler, the Wessaweskeag Historical Society signed a lease with the town to use the Village School. The school has been furnished with many original school desks, photos and artifacts. A sign will be put up to designate it as a museum. Thanks to our new space Beverly St. Clair, our curator, has been able to display many more artifacts. If anyone has any historical school items or papers to donate please contact Beverly at 207-701-7147 or [email protected]
The new museum will be open on Saturdays from 10:00 am through 2:00 pm.
With the help of one of our residents we were able to get Lowe’s to donate materials to refurbish the outside of the Village School. Volunteers will be needed to dip the shingles. Once the stain has been delivered an email will be sent to determine a date and time. The original Village School was beige color. In 1965 the South Thomaston Community Service Club made the decision to paint the building red. We would like residents to please email the Town Office ([email protected]) with a preference of returning the Village School to its original color or to keep it red.

 

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED

Individuals interested in an appointment to the Planning Board, Appeals Board, Budget Committee, Ordinance Review Committee, Library and Community Center Committee, Conservation Commission  are urged to contact the Town Office for more information.
