The Planning Board will take up the $29.1 million project Monday night.

It was a bitter cold February night and Scooby was on the run.
A shy chocolate Lab mix, the family dog had scampered away from its Louise Avenue home and his owners were frantic with worry.
“We have driven all the streets and logical grids from Sabattus Street all the way down to the Androscoggin River,” Jay Brenchick wrote at about 10 p.m. that frigid Sunday night. “We rode the highway to see if somehow he got up there. I’ve also driven all over the place illogically. It’s getting late and cold but I’m confident he will turn up.”

A vulgar political flag flies in front of a Sabattus Street home in Lewiston. The city received a number of complaints about it, but city officials declined to ask the couple renting an apartment there to take the flag down, citing free speech protections. When the building owner learned about the flag Friday, he asked the couple to take it down. This image has been altered to conceal profanity.

DEAR SUN SPOTS: In response to Claire’s letter on Jan. 19, we had a similar experience. My husband and I both received our stimulus checks of $1,200 each last year, but only I received the $600 check on Jan. 11. It also was unsealed. I, like Claire, am curious as to how many others have experienced problems and if it is only involving those of us who received our checks by mail and not direct deposit to our bank accounts. Thanks, Sun Spots, for the information on how we can hopefully resolve this problem. No name, Lewiston
ANSWER: I’m sure it’s very concerning to open your mailbox and find an unsealed envelope with only half the payment you were expecting. So far, I have heard from three Sun Spotters this has happened to.
