ANSWER: Have you looked through the help wanted ads in the classified section of the Sun Journal’s print edition as well as online at http://www.jobs.sunjournal.com/?

Tracey at Bonney Staffing Center, 155 Center St. in Auburn, encourages you to start your employment search as soon as possible because it is helpful for staffing agencies to know when you can start working. You can call her at 207-783-7000.

Linda at Adecco staffing center, 17 Westminster St. in Lewiston stated that agency also helps college students find temporary summer employment.

DEAR SUN SPOTS: Enjoy your column very much. Maybe you can help me. Is there any grocery store that delivers groceries? I have been ill and can’t drive myself.

Can you give me information on “Med Assist” — West Lake, Ohio. On the phone they start out by saying “With St. Mary’s permission we are calling to assist you with medical expenses.”

The company also send you forms to fill out to see if you qualify.

Does St. Mary’s Hospital give out a list of their patients? I find this an invasion of my privacy and hope the hospital doesn’t give out patients’ names to the company.

Thank you and keep up the interesting column. — Yours truly, No Name.

ANSWER: To answer your first question about grocery stores that deliver, Sun Spots was unable to find one in Lewiston-Auburn. You may want to look into hiring a personal care assistant who can help you with shopping and errands. The state of Maine lists several organizations you can contact to locate one of these assistants. These organizations include: Aging Excellence, 466 Main St., Lewiston, 207-376-3031; and Helping Hands, 571 Sabattus Street, Suite 2, Lewiston, 207-777-5294 or 1-877-449-4694.

To answer your second question, Sun Spots spoke to staff at St. Mary’s and as they explained it, you should have no worries. They stated, “As a service to our patients, St. Mary’s partners with MedAssist. MedAssist’s specialty is to help people who are uninsured or under insured find coverage. Some of this outreach is done right at St. Mary’s and some through the Ohio office. It is St. Mary’s hope that we, along with MedAssist, can ease the financial burden of health care costs for our patients.”

DEAR SUN SPOTS: I need an address for Netflix. I am paying for the movies but not receiving them. Thank you. — B.T. in Mechanic Falls

ANSWER: Are you paying for the DVD service or the unlimited streaming plan or both? In 2011, Netflix made changes to its plans and offers: a streaming only plan, a DVD only plan or the option to subscribe to both. Netflix terms and conditions state: “Under DVD plans, members select movies and TV shows at our website, receive them on DVD by U.S. mail and return them using prepaid mailers, with no due dates, late fees or shipping charges. After a DVD is returned, we mail the next available DVD.”

Call Netflix about any problems or issues relating to your account at 1-800-585-7265. If you want to send a letter by mail, use this address: Netflix, 100 Winchester Circle, Los Gatos, CA 95032.
