All proceeds from this fund- raiser will benefit the shelter. I can be reached at (207) 744-0936 or at Galilee House, 25 Deering St., Norway, ME 04268. Thank you again for your help. – Maria Whitney, Norway.

Dear Sun Spots: This is the kind of problem that you excel in. Sun Spots has the resources to get to people with answers.

The problem I have is the local Burger Kings are running a contest that involves game pieces. The various advertisements in the store all state, in large print:, No purchase necessary. – No Name, No Town.

Answer: According to www.burgerking.com, game pieces are available without purchase, while supplies last. The Web site also notes that free pieces are given along with certain Burger King purchases. Unfortunately, the deadline for this promotion has passed, but you can find out more details at the Web site.
