I was given a very old school clock. It may date back to the 1930s, 1940s or 1950s but needs repair. It was made by Company 18, The Standard Electric Time Co. of Springfield, Mass. I may be reached via mail at 32½ Bartlett St., Apt. 2, Lewiston, ME 04243. – Gerard Tibbetts, Lewiston.

Answer: You might consider contacting Rohman Clockworks at 721 Lake St., Auburn. They repair antique and modern clocks, including cuckoo clocks and grandfather clocks. For more information or to set up an appointment with them, please call 784-1211.

Dear Sun Spots: I have called psychic Janice Myers several times, leaving my phone number and name on her voice mail. I never receive a return call. I wonder why? – No Name, No Town.

Answer: Sun Spots readers have written in about this in previous columns and were advised that Myers did not take calls until after the month of December. If you’ve called around that time and not received a return call, you might consider calling her again. If you receive no response, perhaps it’s time to find another psychic.
