Dear Sun Spots: Thank you for all the times you have helped me. Now I am in need of some help again. I am looking for a carpenter to build a large church bird house. I have one for a pattern. It is very old and too far gone to paint again. I hope someone can build one for me at a reasonable price. I want to paint it myself. Also, does anyone know of a store that has Priscilla curtains, white cotton, with a 2-to 2½-inch ruffle around the outer edges? In sizes 63 and 54 inches long? I don’t know if they make them anymore. Any help would be appreciated. – No Name, No Town.

Dear Sun Spots: I am trying to find an experienced violin teacher for my 4-year-old in the Lisbon Falls, Lewiston or Topsham areas. I would prefer a teacher who is familiar with the Suzuki method, but would also be interested in teachers practicing other methods.

Dear Sun Spots: I’ve never seen this addressed anywhere so I’m turning to you for an answer. I used to hold a valid driver’s license that indicated on the back I’d donate one of my organs. But now I only carry a state identification card. How do I go about being an organ donor again? This is important to me. Can you please help? Thanks. – P.S., Auburn.
