DEAR SUN SPOTS: The Heywood Club of Norway’s Annual Seven-Mile Yard Sale will be held July 18.

We are hoping more people will have had their COVID-19 shots by then, but will still be requiring everyone to wear masks. As you know, we were unable to have it last year because of the pandemic.

We hope to see lots of familiar faces and will be doing the advertising for the whole neighborhood.

The Heywood Club is the oldest continuous organization in Norway and this is one of the ways we raise money to keep our building maintained. If anyone has good, clean items they would like to donate to our cause, please call 743-5150 for more information.

Sun Spots, thank you for the great service you provide to your readers. — Barbara, no town

DEAR SUN SPOTS: I would like to know if anyone may have an Oxford Hills High School yearbook from the Class of 1966 stashed away that they feel they can part with. I have a friend who would dearly love to have one since she graduated that year and has lost hers.

I would love to find one for her. If you have one to give, please call 743-1678. If I don’t answer, please be sure to let me know your call is “about the yearbook”. — No name, South Paris

ANSWER: Aha! Another yearbook search is on! Just a few weeks ago, Sun Spots helped match a Rumford High School Class of 1970 yearbook with someone who had lost theirs in a fire. With any luck, a generous classmate will step forth to answer this request.

If that doesn’t happen (and I think it will!), try contacting the school to see if they have extra copies archived or perhaps the town office or library has one.

Last time this request was made, we got a tip from two Sun Spots readers about classmates.com, a site where all the high schools are listed by state, and you can get a yearbook. Please let us know what happens!

DEAR SUN SPOTS: In response to the inquiry about disposing of leftover paint, Maine is one of about eight states that participates in PaintCare. This is a cooperative program among many of the paint manufacturers to work with states to dispose of or recycle unused and waste paint in an environmentally responsible manner.  Many local hardware stores and some municipal transfer stations accept waste paint, and the PaintCare program collects it from these facilities. Most Aubuchon and Sherman Williams stores accept the paint as does EPI, a firm that operates household hazardous waste collections throughout the region and much of the state. People can locate a facility by putting their ZIP code into www.paintcare.org/drop-off-sites or searching for PaintCare.

Depending on its characteristics, waste paint may be recycled or incinerated for energy production. — No name, Poland

ANSWER: Thanks for reminding me of this! Readers, please call the locations mentioned above ahead of time to make sure they are accepting paint at this time and be sure to follow their disposal instructions.
