Dear Sun Spots: We have been trying to locate caterers that service the Rumford-Mexico area. For some reason, we have not been able to locate any except one and we would like to know if anyone knows of food caterers in the Rumford-Mexico area. We have a couple of future gatherings and would like to know ahead of time what is available. — No Name, Rumford.

Answer: In addition to responses from readers, contact Catering N’ More Brickyard Cafe, Route 2 West Farmington, (207) 799-0708, and ask for Greg Racklisse, owner and chef. Racklisse says he is open from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. and is in the Oaks and Parkhurst building.

Dear Sun Spots: I hope you can help. Is there any way to get a copy of the season finale of “The Shield”? It airs Tuesday nights at 10 p.m. My phone number is (207) 364-3255. — G.P., Mexico.

Answer: Sun Spots was not able to find anything online. Hopefully, readers who taped this might be willing to share it with you for a reasonable price.

Dear Sun Spots: My inquiry is twofold. First, I am looking for a wringer washing machine in reasonable condition and working order. I am willing to drive a fair distance and could pay a modest amount for the right one.

Secondly, my husband and I own a wool carding machine. The name on the machine is Sacopeetee. After the name is the number 1908. I am guessing this could be the year it was made. We need help or information about where to get parts. I would have to imagine someone reading this column may have worked in the textile industry and could possibly have used or worked on such a machine. We were told this machine was at one time operating in the Robinson Manufacturing of Oxford. Our dream is to refurbish the machine and start a home business using it to process wool from our own sheep. Any help or information would be appreciated. We can be reached by phone after 7 p.m. at (207) 890-7130. — Ingrid Twitchell, Bryant Pond.
