DEAR SUN SPOTS: I have been helping my mother clean out closets and have some things to donate to a yard sale. I would love for it to benefit animal shelters if possible , but any worthy cause will do. I was also curious if you knew anywhere that could use empty 35-mm film containers? […]

DEAR SUN SPOTS: When the Sun Journal changed formats, they stopped printing the full obituaries, such as important information about the deceased, such as where the person worked in the past, their family members’ names and other pertinent information about the deceased. Why can’t the Sun Journal start printing this information in the obituaries again […]

DEAR SUN SPOTS: I just love your column. It’s the best part of the paper. I can’t remember what channel this advertisement is on, but it shows abused animals and plays the saddest song. I don’t know the name of the song, but some of the words are “in the arms of the angels.” Could […]
