DEAR SUN SPOTS: Not long ago, a reader wrote extolling the product Cedarcide. Both Walmart and Target stores were said to carry it. Cedarcide was mentioned again in the 7-26-17 column. The Auburn Walmart does not carry it. What Walmart store does carry Cedarcide, or better yet, do any other stores in Lewiston or Auburn carry the product? Thank you. — Janet, Auburn
ANSWER: We’re sorry for the confusion, Janet. Cedarcide is available at Walmart online, or like thousands of other products, on Amazon. It would be best to order directly from Cedarcide by calling (800) 842-1464. Cedarcide’ s website lists the stores in Maine where you can find it, but the nearest place listed is at Freeport Hardware (865-9557) on Route 1 and Edmunds’ Red and White (639-3721) on Rangeley Road in Phillips. Possibly your local hardware store could order this all-natural pest control product for you if you let them know how much you’d like to try it! Be aware there are several different, specific forms of this brand so just let them know what exactly you want to accomplish.
DEAR SUN SPOTS: I don’t have a TV in my home, but on Sunday afternoon I visit my friend Mary and we watch the Hallmark Channel. It is always something about Christmas. I wish they would revive some of the older programs and movies from the 1950s, like “Davey Crockett,: “Daniel Boone,” “Wyatt Earp,” “Mr. Ed” and “The Beverly Hillbillies.” Would you let me know the addresses for those stations so I could write to them and see what they think about it? Thank you very much. —Heidi, Dryden
ANSWER: Many of the old programs you mentioned are sold as DVD sets that can be purchased on Amazon and other online companies. If you have a DVD player and are interested perhaps you could ask someone to assist you in finding them. Just look them up by the name of the show. Another option may be to call your library and see if they have them or can get them for you through interlibrary loan! Librarians are our friends!
You and Mary may also want to see if the TV Land channel has a program you might enjoy. They have “Gunsmoke,” “Bonanza,” “The Andy Griffith Show” and others.
The address for TV Land is 1515 Broadway New York, NY 10036. The Hallmark Channel’s address is Viewer Services, 12700 Ventura Blvd. Studio City, CA 91604. I do hope you find what you’re looking for!
DEAR SUN SPOTS: We haven’t seen Kelsey Fabian on Channel 6 news for a while. Has she moved? — No name, No town
ANSWER: Kelsey was a breath of fresh air, wasn’t she? A weekend anchor, morning show reporter, and one of WSCH’s youngest on-air contributors, she returned to her home state of Pennsylvania in the spring after being with the station for three years. Kelsey was a great sport as she tried out many Maine jobs and often broadcast live during some really crazy weather.
