Dear Sun Spots: I wanted to let you know that the B Street Family Health Center in Lewiston has Maine- Care dental services available for children. They have dental hygienists and a dentist available. The children have to be patients of the B Street Family Health Center in order to access the dental services. You can reach the center at 753-5400 for more information. – Russ Donahue, Lewiston.
Dear Sun Spots: I read and enjoy your column every day. We would like to contact “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition,” shown on ABC Sunday nights and would appreciate any help you can give us. Thank you. – P. W., Auburn.
Answer: Try contacting them via e-mail at feedback@emhe.tv. Please note, if you are contacting them about applying for a makeover, please don’t make your request via e-mail. It will be ignored.
