Smart Meter Update

The installation of smart meters in Dixfield is now effectively complete. Later this year, CMP’s customers will be able to view detailed information about their energy usage through the Company’s website. The installation of smart meters is part of CMP’s plan to build a stronger, smarter grid for Maine. In 2011, CMP invested more than $500 million in Advanced Meter Infrastructure and other grid improvements, and they will spend nearly as much again in 2012. These investments are creating thousands of jobs for the Maine economy, while ensuring long-term grid reliability and capacity for growth. On behalf of Central Maine Power, we want to thank municipal officials for providing a forum for us to interact with your residents and businesses and for being a conduit for getting information out and sharing residents’ concerns with us. Your involvement has provided an important public service by allowing an open and transparent way to share information. Residents looking for additional information about smart meters are encouraged to visit CMP’s web site at www.cmpco.com/smartmeter.

Harry L. Francis Presented Dixfield’s Boston Post Cane

Long-time Dixfield resident, Harry L. Francis, 96, was presented with Dixfield’s Boston Post Cane on Monday, March 26, 2012, at his home at 26 Weld Street. Having been recognized as the town’s oldest citizen, Harry was presented with an Easter basket Harry Francis - Boston Cane Recipient full of goodies and a plaque in place of “holding” the cane. The cane was returned to the Town Office to be held on display under lock and key. Harry was born December 23, 1915 to parents Elroy B. and Hazel (Briggs) Francis in Otisfield, Maine. He moved to Dixfield in 1922 and married a beloved Dixfield teacher (and violin teacher), Ruth (Jacobs) Francis on May 27, 1939. Harry has been a true gentleman figurehead in town. He is kind, friendly and a great neighbor to everyone. Congratulations, Harry! We’re all very proud to have you as our honoree.
