DEAR SUN SPOTS: Angus King has been on TV recently promoting windmills. We have heard once he was no longer governor he changed his residency to another state, Florida, where they have no state income taxes. Is this really the case or is this just a rumor?

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.

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
