Columbus Day: In 1492, Columbus sailed the blue ... Whether or not Columbus actually "discovered" America, many of us get a holiday out of it. And there's no dispute that Columbus's making landfall in the Americas brought about significant change. So, there's no school today and town offices are closed. That means trash is delayed a day for the rest of the week, too. Kidzone 'School’s Out' Party: Children up to age 8 are invited to come in to Kidzone for a day of fun!

Town Council meeting: Could it be a bakery is coming to Main Street? Well, the agenda says it could be so – Silver Spoon Bakery is applying for a victualling license. McDonald’s is also looking for a victualling license for a new restaurant on New London Turnpike. (And, just in case you – like me before I got this job – didn’t know, victualling means “provide with food.”) EG Farmers Market: It's official, fall is here. We may be sad about the passing of beach season, but a visit to the EG Farmers Market at Rector Street will make any sadness vanish. Fall foods are just so picturesque! Enjoy. From 3 to 6 p.m. (Parking is plentiful across Academy Field in the town and St. Luke's lot.) EGHS Home Games: Girls Tennis plays Portsmouth at 4 p.m…

Town Council meeting: On tonight’s agenda is further discussion of the Lamar Advertising proposal to put two billboards on Route 4 by Avenger Drive. But, Town Council President Michael Isaacs stressed last week, this is not a public hearing. He said he wasn’t sure the proposal would go any further than tonight’s discussion and that he, for one, is now against the idea. Also on the agenda is the first reading of an ordinance change that would require a 4-way stop at the intersection of Rector and Church streets. Right now, only cars on Rector are required to stop. The meeting, held in Council Chambers at Town Hall, begins at 7 p.m. EG Farmers’ Market: The market is going great guns this season, with new vendors and old favorites. There …
