DEAR SUN SPOTS: I couldn’t survive without your column. Could you give me the address of the Audubon Society of Maine? Maybe you can answer one of my questions. I have a large birdfeeder that is made so I can see the birds, but they cannot see me. I would like to know how birds […]

DEAR SUN SPOTS: Every year I have to call the Maine Department of Transportation about snowbanks that obstruct oncoming traffic on Phil O Mar onto Washington Street. The banks are so high at the corner of Phil O Mar and Washington Street that we can’t see oncoming traffic without getting right out there in the […]

DEAR SUN SPOTS: Just wanted to thank you for all the great information you provide in your column, which I read every day. You always seem to know right where to go for the right information. A lot of us really appreciate your efforts; keep up the good work! I have a few questions and […]

DEAR SUN SPOTS: What’s the point of taking the time to recycle and place it in the blue recycle buckets when Almighty Waste just throws it in the garbage truck?

DEAR SUN SPOTS: I am sending three questions for you to answer when you are able. 1. CBS has decided to drop Tom Selleck’s “Jesse Stone” movies. Was there a new movie in the series released this year? 2. Who would I write to at L.L. Bean in Freeport concerning a product they no longer […]

We have collection boxes in the school, and we will be collecting at the basketball games at Lewiston High on Friday afternoon. Please drop them off so that we […]

DEAR SUN SPOTS: I read your column every day. It is very interesting. You have helped me in the past. I hope you can help me once more. Growing up in a big Catholic family we did not eat meat on Friday during Lent, which is just around the corner. My mom always bought cusk […]

DEAR SUN SPOTS: I have a membership to Planet Fitness and used the facilities in Lewiston weekly until they closed. I have gone to the one in Auburn since the closure in Lewiston but am just not happy there. The equipment is just so crowded and there are many times that you have to wait. […]
