DEAR SUN SPOTS: It’s coming up on apple season. We all have our favorite varieties, but the Sun Journal would also like to know the variety you have absolutely no interest in eating; in other words, your least favorite.

Writer Karen Schneider is conducting research for a features story about apples, their back stories and how some of our least favorite apples came to market. Email her with your favorites and your most despised varieties at iwrite33@comcast.net before Sept. 15.

Be sure to include all your contact information and your full name. If you would rather write a note, send it to Sun Spots and we will make sure Karen receives it!

DEAR SUN SPOTS: On Friday, Aug. 10, we had a yard sale at 3 Donelly St. in Lewiston. I sold a set of golf clubs, including a green Ping golf bag for $20. The fellow who I sold the clubs to had just returned from the military and was going to take up the game. He was accompanied by his dad. I let him swap the putter I had in the set with another putter. By accident, the one I let him have belonged to my husband and has great value to him. It’s a Ping putter with a brass putter head and black grip. I will gladly get the person who bought the clubs a new replacement for free. Please call 207-782-0544.

ANSWER: Uh-oh. I sure hope this gets resolved. Readers, spread the word!
