Only a six-week absence from my writing this time, and in that time period there has been so much going on that it was either write a column or let my head explode, so I’m choosing to write.
Round Pond Column
With the changing of the season comes the changing of the hours at a few places here in the village.

Mixing work and pleasure: On the morning of Thursday, Aug. 31, one of my colleagues here at The Lincoln County News, reporter Maia Zewert, and I took a 50-minute Hardy Boat trip from New Harbor to spend the day on Monhegan Island, which is part of Lincoln County and, therefore, part of the paper’s coverage area.
Truckin’ in America
As I sit ponderin’ at this here computer, on only my second day of bein’ a married man again after a long hiatus, I’m wonderin’ what to scribble about this week. Been a lot happenin’ in the last week or so, both in the world around me and my own little world itself!
Waste Watch
I hope you all had an enjoyable Labor Day weekend. It is certainly feeling like fall this week, but I know there will still be some warm days to come.
Ponder & Stir
Our Kansas summer days have been crowded with the good old reliable joys of watermelon and sunshine, coffee and cardinals, rabbits and petunias. We have used our patio like our Maine screened porch, eating lunch in the shade of the noonday sun and entertaining family and friends at twilight.

Lincoln Theater in the limelight: As readers have no doubt noticed, Lincoln Theater in downtown Damariscotta has been closed for a number of days while the theater’s wood floor is sanded and revarnished. It will reopen in all its new glory on Friday, Sept. 8 with the screening of the 2017 film “The Big Sick.” Based on a true story, the film, which stars Kumail Nanjiani and Zoe Kazan, is about a Pakistan-born comedian who falls in love with an American grad student. Movie-rating website rottentomatoes.com gives it a whopping 98 percent approval rating on its Tomatometer.

I’m including one more announcement for the “Tea with Rosalind” fundraiser for the Jefferson Historical Society on Sunday, Sept. 10 at 3 p.m. On that day, storyteller Rosalind Benton will present the story of tea, along with some music, fancy tidbits, and more. This sounds like a fun event, with folks arriving in fancy or plain attire — and all are invited.

The show went on: Pouring rain on the evening of Friday, Aug. 18 did not stop the Walter Weymouth concert at Sheepscot General in Whitefield from happening. What was intended to be an outdoor concert became an intimate indoor concert inside the picturesque hay-filled Quonset-hut barn on the Sheepscot General property.

Hello, friends and neighbors!
I am continually amazed by the incredible opportunities we Mainers have to enjoy the great outdoors. If you have never visited Hidden Valley Nature Center in Jefferson, I highly recommend it.
Alna Column
Liz and I have been collecting phone numbers from everyone in town as they come into office. With cellphones being used mostly, if you don’t leave your number, we have no way of contacting you. If there is a problem or we need information about something for the office, it is very hard to get the work done. So please, if we forget to ask, remind us and we will be very happy.
Somewhere in Somerville
This week’s photo is the lily leaf beetle, Lilioceris lilli. The lily leaf beetle is a native of Europe and was first reported in the U.S. in 1997. Asiatic lilies are especially vulnerable to attack from this pest. Day lilies are not affected.
