Island Law: License and registration

I am Deputy George Bradbury. I work for the Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office. I am a resident of Harpswell. I live and work among you.

Your monthly warning

The fine for failure to produce evidence of insurance is $160.

The fine for failure to register your vehicle between 30 and 150 days after expiration is $85.

The fine for operating with an expired license up to 90 days after expiration is $152. After 90 days, it becomes a criminal offense.

Did you know that you need your insurance card to register your vehicle? You also need to register your vehicle before it can pass inspection. While you’re renewing your insurance and registration, you should also check your license to see when it expires.

Pop quiz

While winter is still with us, I would like to give you all a pop quiz.

Q: What is the suggested speed limit in inclement weather?

A: SLOW!

We are lucky to have the R.A. Webber crew taking care of our roads. The best thing we can do for them during storms is stay off the roads so they can do their jobs!

Remember, let’s be safe out there! And don’t get voted off the islands.

The views above are those of Deputy George Bradbury, not of the town of Harpswell or the Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office.

Ask the Anchor: Was there a tidal grist mill in Basin Cove?

Question from Ted Goulette: Being a part-time Harpswell resident, I have always been interested in Harpswell history. Our place is on Basin Cove, and from what I was told, there used to be a tidal grist mill at the entrance. I was wondering about the mill, where the grain came from, where the flour went, how long it was in operation, and when. Was there more than one? Why did it shut down?
