DEAR SUN SPOTS: Your column has been a help to so many, and I hope it will be for me, too.

My 17 year-old-granddaughter’s boyfriend lost the chain she gave him for their first anniversary as a couple. He lost it while playing in the recent Maine Shrine Lobster Bowl at Lewiston High School. They are just devastated.

The chain is gold with two charms, a cross and the letter “N.” If anyone has found it, we would be grateful if that person would call 207-212-6542 and make two great kids very happy. Thank you.–Sue, Auburn

ANSWER: Let us know what happens. My fingers are crossed.

DEAR SUN SPOTS: Winter storms, flooding, power outages and soaring temperatures all take their toll on our health, our dollars and our communities.

“Maine Won’t Wait,” Maine’s Climate Action Plan, created in 2021, has already increased community resilience, renewable job opportunities and clean energy infrastructure. Now, the Maine Climate Council wants to hear from Mainers across the state as the next four-year plan is developed.

We can make our voices heard this summer through the Maine Climate Council Survey. Survey takers can read the proposal, offer their own ideas and evaluate the recommendations in each of eight categories: Building, Coastal and Marine, Community Resilience, Energy, Land Use, Materials Management, Natural and Working Lands and Transportation.

Heat pumps keep Maine cool on these hot summer days. Many heat pumps were installed as part of the Maine Climate Action Plan, administered by Efficiency Maine. This program offers huge savings to landlords who install heat pumps in multifamily apartment buildings. I am pleased to see plans to expand this program to low-income households and businesses in the “Building” section of the survey.

Clean energy jobs in Maine already top 15,000, and Maine’s renewable energy goals continue to foster job growth and make us more energy independent by investing in home-grown clean energy sources.

Maine’s Climate Action Plan invests in Mainers, making our state more resilient and prepared for whatever a changing climate might bring.

Please join me in taking the survey and supporting the Maine Climate Action Plan.—Kerry, South Paris

DEAR SUN SPOTS: To the person looking for Clark Bars, see www.boyercandies.com and type “Clark Bar” in the search box in the upper right corner.—Philip, Lewiston

ANSWER: The reader is looking specifically for Clark Bars, which are sold out now at Boyer, but the candy cups are available in some sizes of packaging.

DEAR SUN SPOTS: Boyer Candy Co. Inc. of Altoona, Pennsylvania, now makes Clark Cups. They can be ordered online at boyercandies.com. The company is sold out of most sizes of boxes, but does have 10-ounce bags.

If this person lives in Lewiston-Auburn, we would be happy to bring some back from the factory outlet store the next time we go to Altoona. We go twice a year. Contact us at 207-784-3269.—Nancy, no town

ANSWER: It is generous of you to offer to fetch the candies that were requested in Sun Spots on Aug. 1. I hope our reader sees this and responds to you. Thanks for the tip.
