DEAR SUN SPOTS: Someone is missing a 24” x 30” x 6” dark cranberry wine -colored sofa or chair cushion which I rescued from the center turning lane on Main Street (Rt. 26) in South Paris near Betty’s Laundromat on March 28. If this is yours, please call for directions to pick it up. My number is 207-743-7678. It is in very good condition.
Thank you Sun Spots for providing so many wonderful public services, and thank you for your help to get those old negatives printed!
—Virginia, South Paris
ANSWER: You are so welcome, Virginia! I love getting feedback from my readers when their questions are answered! Never hesitate to write in. And if Sun Spots can’t find the owner of that couch cushion, nobody can.
DEAR SUN SPOTS: I belong to a 501(c)(3) organization that has a baby grand piano to give to another 501(c)( 3) organization. If interested, please call 207-744-9128.

DEAR SUN SPOTS: Calvary United Methodist Church in Lewiston is in need of a permanent childcare/nursery provider to work every Sunday for two hours. This is a paid position. So far, we have had no responses to our post on the church website. Write to Nancy at nancycraigrn@yahoo.com. Hope to hear from someone soon. Thanks for your help.
—Nancy, no town
ANSWER: I would normally not put help wanted postings in Sun Spots but because this is for a church and because this is very part-time, I feel it’s appropriate. If you don’t have access to e-mail and want to find out more about this position, please write to Sun Spots.
DEAR SUN SPOTS: I have no computer so could you print out the song “Twinkle Lucky Star” by Merle Haggard for me. It’s a special song. Thank you.
—No name, no town
ANSWER: Here you go! It is a very sweet song:
Twinkle, twinkle, lucky star/ Can you send me luck from where you are?/ Can you make a rainbow shine that far?/ Twinkle, twinkle, lucky star/Can you really make a wish come true?/And do you shine on just a chosen few?/Is it over, have I gone too far?/Twinkle, twinkle, lucky star/Like two ships on the ocean, we drifted apart/And you found an island at sea/I’m still adrift with this pain in my heart/Won’t you send her sweet love back to me?/Twinkle, twinkle, lucky star/Can you send me luck from where you are?/Can you make a rainbow shine that far?/Twinkle, twinkle, lucky star/Like two ships on the ocean, we drifted apart/And you found an island at sea/I’m still adrift with this pain in my heart/Won’t you send her sweet love back to me?/Hey, twinkle, twinkle, lucky star/Can you send me luck from where you are?/Can you make a rainbow shine that far?/Twinkle, twinkle, lucky star.
DEAR SUN SPOTS: We want to thank Deacon Denis Mailhot, Parish Outreach Coordinator for Immaculate Heart of Mary Parish, for teaming up with AARP to provide space for the Sacred Heart Church in Auburn to process tax returns for seniors and those with low to moderate income. Certified IRS volunteers, KC Geiger, Anne and others were generous in giving of their valuable time and knowledge to so many. Thank you, Sun Spots, for all you do.
