DEAR SUN SPOTS: An unfortunate, odd incident happened to my good friend, Donald Hebert. Don is the produce manager for Shaw’s in Auburn, and is the lead vocalist of the popular local band Veggies by Day. He is very well-known in the community, and the nicest, friendliest guy you would ever meet, born and raised […]

DEAR SUN SPOTS: I am hoping you can help me since I have no idea where to turn to get the answer. It seems like every time I come across a contest/sweepstakes I am excited about lately, it is void in Maine. I’d never in my life seen void in Maine on anything, but now […]

DEAR SUN SPOTS: I am looking for a recipe for deep-fried scallops like we get at Rowe’s takeout in Dixfield and many other seafood restaurants in Maine. It is crunchy, and it looks like they use corn meal? It is really good, and in the winter I like to cook them at home but they […]

DEAR SUN SPOTS: The tale written below aroused my curiosity, and its validity came into question. If the story has any credence, one would think it saw print, here in Lewiston or where it allegedly occurred — Massachusetts. Around 1954-1955 a ragtag football team from in and around Lewiston journeyed to a large prison in […]

Against my better judgment, I borrowed a set of double-pointed knitting needles from a friend, and (you guessed it!) one broke. They are older needles, made of a kind of plastic material and are unusual because they […]

DEAR SUN SPOTS: I am spearheading a group of local TD Bank employees who are collecting donations to send care packages to the troops stationed overseas. I would like the help of your readers to make this collection drive a success. Anyone can drop off donations at any TD Bank location within the Lewiston-Auburn region […]

DEAR SUN SPOTS: The Edward Little Music Association will be holding a spaghetti supper and silent auction on Saturday, March 27, at the Auburn Middle School. We are currently looking for area businesses and vendors to donate items to the silent auction. The auction is always a big success and a large fundraiser for the […]

DEAR SUN SPOTS: You’ve helped me before, and I hope you can again. I have an overhead garage door that needs to be fixed. Once in a while it works automatically, but most of the time it needs to be put up manually. I hope there is somebody out there who can help me. I […]

DEAR SUN SPOTS: Earlier this month, Rita Dube, the executive director of the Franco-American Heritage Center, wrote to your column asking any St. Mary’s parochial school students who were interested in having a school reunion this summer to call the FAHC. A large response came in, mostly from the La Recontre meeting for students from […]
