DEAR SUN SPOTS: In response to Hector (Aug. 27) who was looking for the ‘green girl’ monument: I live at the end of Blanchard Road on Mount Gile in East Auburn. The monument is still on Mount Gile on the Lake Auburn side of the trail that goes over the mountain to East Auburn. No […]

DEAR SUN SPOTS: I’ve wondered this for a long time. When Lewiston Public Works repairs a manhole, they cut out a trench surrounding the cover and then just leave it for days or weeks, placing traffic cones and traffic signs up. This can be a huge inconvenience and a safety hazard. It makes getting in […]

DEAR SUN SPOTS: My granddaughter, Avery, just turned 1. I made various size adult and kid T-shirts for people who came to her party. Most adults didn’t take theirs home. I’m hoping there is another little Avery about to have her first birthday. I would love to see them used again (free). Please call 212-3670 […]

DEAR SUN SPOTS: Can you remind area gardeners who have an abundance of fresh fruits and vegetables to please share with their local food pantries, which are struggling to feed the hungry? Many needy folks cannot afford to purchase fruits and vegetables, and, with help from gardeners, food pantries can do that for them. Gardeners […]

DEAR SUN SPOTS: I have read with interest the two letters (May 31, Aug. 20) you have received regarding the deduction of property tax and donations on the income tax return. Your response to the first letter was right on, but obviously they still feel their accountant hasn’t done their return correctly. I work for […]

DEAR SUN SPOTS: I am looking for a person to teach me simple computer skills. Someone who comes into my home and helps me learn more on my own computer. — Julie Therrien, Livermore, 897-2787 ANSWER: Sun Spots usually recommends adult education classes, but obviously they don’t come to your house. A previous inquiry in […]
