DEAR SUN SPOTS: I love all the information I find here daily so I’m hoping you can help me. Do you know anyone who will remove snow in my driveway in Lewiston with a snow blower, not a plow?

— No name, Lewiston

ANSWER: Readers, please send me some current names. Snow removal contractors, please write in! You can also take out an inexpensive ad in the classifieds to promote your business. We need you … winter is coming whether we like it or not!

DEAR SUN SPOTS: Regarding the reader in Oct. 19 Sun Spots who is looking for a good home for books, she should call The Root Cellar at 89 Birch St. in Lewiston. They work with our local immigrants, assisting children with homework and teaching English writing and speaking to adults. These books might be a wonderful addition to the library of this nonprofit organization. I’m one of your faithful readers.

—Louise, Lewiston

ANSWER: Thank you, Louise. What a fabulous idea! This is a group of amazing volunteers who provide an opportunity for our immigrant neighbors to learn the English language through cultural and community-based skill building. The Root Cellar can be contacted at 207-782-3659. For more information, visit their web site at therootcellarlew.org.
