Every October this town sets a thousand-pound pumpkin on Main Street and turns the rest of them into boats, which tells you most of what you need to know about Damariscotta. Shorty's Cleanup & Debris Removal LLC works the plainer end of that year. Autumn means cleanups — leaves, brush, storm-dropped limbs, the whole load carted off rather than left mouldering in a heap out back. Then the ground goes hard and the job turns to plowing: driveways, lots, and walkways cut down to bare pavement after each system swings in off the coast. Two seasons of hauling away whatever nobody wants underfoot.
