HI SUN SPOTS: I’ve been wondering if the television shows “Sleepy Hollow,” “Grimm” and “Limitless” are coming back this year. I have not seen any mention of them. Thank you. — No name, no town.

DEAR SUN SPOTS: Where would we be without Sun Spots? You are such a great help to this community. Now my problem: I received a phone call from a woman in Bowdoin who said she had the Movie Money Bonanza tickets. The phone number she left was erased on my phone. Please call me again at 207-225-2360 and leave your number so we can connect. I need four of these books. Thank you. — No name, no town.
