DEAR SUN SPOTS: The Lewiston High School Class of 1958 will celebrate our 65-year reunion Sunday, July 23, from 1-4 p.m. at Davinci’s Restaurant in Lewiston. The cost is $30 per person.
This is a reminder to those who haven’t responded yet to please let us know if you are planning to attend. The committee would love to hear from you.
We have been unable to contact the following classmates: Carl Hammond, Peter Mullen, Irving Hodgekin, Connie Demers Boucher, Claudette Parent Tardif, Lorraine Hamel Friese and Marise Roy Lebel.
If anyone in Sun Spots Land has an updated address/contact for these classmates, please call Rachel Tardif Cyr at 786-3052 or Joan Tankey at 782-4240, or email jtankey827@aol.com.
As usual, we thank you, Sun Spots, for your service to our community. — Rachel, no town
ANSWER: I hope you find all your classmates and have a fabulous reunion. 65 years — wow!
DEAR SUN SPOTS: My neighbor and I were out on a walk and the subject of scones came up. I haven’t found them anywhere in the Lewiston-Auburn area. Perhaps someone in Sun Spots Land has an idea of a place to get them.
Thanks again for being the master of sought-after trivia and for making our days brighter. — No name, Lewiston
ANSWER: There’s got to be an L-A establishment that serves scones. Have you tried The Bakery Barn and Dubois Café in Lewiston? You may have to go on a scone hunt! Readers, help us out.
DEAR SUN SPOTS: Does anyone besides me wonder why it seems iPhones take an eternity to charge? Once charged to 90%, the charging time seems to slow down to a snail’s pace. — No name, Lewiston
ANSWER: Actually, an iPhone charges slower after 80% to protect the battery health and prevent overheating. When the battery charge level reaches that level, charging speed automatically slows down to reduce the stress on the battery cells and prevents them from getting too hot, which can damage the battery over time.
I read that it really is better to not charge your phone fully, and it’s not necessarily bad to allow the battery to go down to around 30% before charging it again. As long as you have access to a way to charge your phone while you’re out and about, this gives your phone some extra TLC.
DEAR SUN SPOTS: First, thank you for all you do. With that said, I’ve lived in the same house for 36 years and have never seen any sign of deer in my yard. There have been no visible changes in our area for many years, but this year I’ve had hungry deer around.
There are trees and shrubs on the property line and the arborvitae and yews were eaten along the entire length, leading me to think that if the deer are hungry, they’ll eat whatever is available. Good luck to Sarah and her neighbor. — No name, Auburn
ANSWER: This comment is regarding the June 8 Sun Spots. I sympathize. I’m still seeking tips to help keep the deer away so readers, let’s help each other on this one.
