DEAR SUN SPOTS: Can you please find out if there will be any kind of tax rebate this year? In the past we had rent and tax refund on our property taxes from the state. Last year we had just a straight tax refund, and even if we did not have to file income taxes, […]

DEAR SUN SPOTS: I just recently found out that my paperboy has not been getting his tips, which I include with my monthly payment. I can’t imagine working so hard as they do to get the paper to me in all kinds of terrible weather only to not get their tips from their employer. Can […]

DEAR SUNSPOT, For the last few months we noticed that while watching shows on our 32-inch TV lots of time we have a piece of the head missing or the top part of a program is not there. Is there a way to correct this? We haven’t received our new telephone directory from FairPoint. Last […]
