Great Falls TV, the local cable access channel, reserves the Wednesday broadcast slot for the Lisbon Board of Selectmen. So, the tax-cap panel’s Wednesday meetings will be taped and broadcast on Thursdays, said City Clerk Kathy Montejo.

You’ll have to wait to see City Administrator Jim Bennett’s presentation of his municipal budget under the tax-cap plan. Unless you get yourself to City Council chambers at 7 p.m. Wednesday night and see it live.

The Hair Salon at Sears is celebrating 50 years of cutting hair by offering $3 haircuts all day Tuesday, Sept. 28. The price reflects the typical cost of a haircut back in the 1950s when Sears first introduced salons into their stores. A portion of the money raised will go to the retailer’s American Dream Campaign, which a few years ago purchased televisions for Martel School.

The Lewiston salon is getting into the swing of things by planning a malt shop theme. Manager Brigitte Whitten is encouraging stylists to wear poodle skirts, bobby socks and other ’50s-era clothes. Refreshments will be served.

Appointments can be made by calling 786-2911; walk-ins – especially wearing saddle shoes – are welcome.

Still feeling charitable after getting that new bob?

Mike Brooks is still raising money for Camp Sunshine in Casco. The runner from Auburn who trekked through Death Valley this summer, raising more than $17,500 sent notices out to friends and supporters this week about another Camp Sunshine promotion.

Till the end of September, the New Balance Foundation will donate up to $25,000, $1 every time someone clicks on that company’s logo at campsunshine.org. It’s being dubbed a “click-a-thon.”

Brooks used several pairs of New Balance on his run through the desert.
