DEAR SUN SPOTS: On Monday, July 6, my son and I were on our way to Portland where he had eye surgery. He put my iPad on top of the car, but I did not know that and drove away.  The iPad is nowhere to be found, not surprising. It is an older model and […]

DEAR SUN SPOTS: Thank you for being such a big supporter of public libraries. A book sale like no other is going on at the Turner Public Library.
