DEAR SUN SPOTS: Is there anyone who can help my sister-in-law who needs to have her roof shoveled off? She’s 82 and lives in Auburn. I’m concerned about her. — Grace, no town
ANSWER: Hopefully, some of the snow has melted off that roof this week but perhaps Sun Spots readers could recommend someone to help with the job if we get another big storm.
In the meantime, please check with SeniorsPlus in Lewiston (795-4010). They have a list of community resources and may be able to help.
