DEAR SUN SPOTS: I found a jacket on Center Street in Auburn on the roadside by Kentucky Fried Chicken. This is a black jacket with a hood. It’s a large size and has an Avalanche label. In one of the pockets there is some jewelry. Is there anyone out there who can help return this jacket to its owner? My contact number is 312-9699. Richard, Lewiston
ANSWER: Thank you for the very good description of the jacket and for your contact information. You filled in all the blanks. Let us know what happens.
DEAR SUN SPOTS: Regarding the Jun 8 Sun Spots about Target opening, my understanding is that the company will have access to renovate and occupy the space starting in July. I hope they can get construction crews in there and be open for the Christmas season! Rick, Auburn

DEAR SUN SPOTS: In downtown Lewiston, there are marked boxes where free face masks are offered. I thought I should do my part to help stop the spread of the virus so I am making masks and putting them into these boxes. Every time I’ve gone to drop off more masks, the boxes have been empty so I’m assuming people are taking them and being safe while keeping others safe.
My challenge is to those people who have extra fabric, extra time, and a sewing machine to make a face mask or two and place them into one of these boxes on and near Lisbon Street. I know this will be greatly appreciated. No name, Auburn
