The convoy will arrive in Lewiston via Exit 80, travel Lisbon Street to East Avenue and should arrive at the school at 156 East Ave. about 3:10 p.m.

The convoy will leave the school about 6:10 p.m., travel East Avenue to Webster Street, to Sabattus Street, to Main Street across the Longley Bridge to Court Street in Auburn to Minot Avenue and to Route 202 to New Gloucester. We’re hoping to see many neighbors waving to the convoy  as they pass by. — Joyce, Richmond

ANSWER: According to a letter from Joyce, a Gold Star Mother, a ceremony will be held at the school gym where local veterans will be presented with wreaths and programs by the school chorus and band. The Lewiston High ROTC Honor Guard will present the colors.

The public is invited to the ceremony to meet the escort.

DEAR SUN SPOTS: The Heywood Club had a wonderful tree lighting this past  Sunday afternoon.

The parents of the boy who left us all too soon were there to “light the tree,” which was special. A large basket full of items was given to them from the Caring Hearts Tear Basket group.

Thank you to everyone who has donated so far. We have room to add more lights and are still taking donations for lights in honor of, or in memory of, those you love until Dec. 20. You can mail your donation to Barbara Townsend at 475 Crockett Ridge, Norway, ME 04268.

It’s a beautiful tree and the lights burn brightly from 4-10 p.m. daily through Dec. 31 for viewing. — Barbara, Norway

ANSWER: I plan on making a special trip over to shop and have an early viewing of the lights. Norway is one of my favorite places in Maine.

DEAR SUN SPOTS: I’m looking for old newspapers that people are finished with for use as fire starters in my wood stove. Instead of recycling the newspapers, would someone be willing to let me have a stack of them, please? I live in Hartford, between Canton and Buckfield. Please contact me at [email protected]. – No name, Hartford

ANSWER: Lots of people need fire-starting material and kindling this time of year, and just as many folks are looking for ways to get rid of newspapers, brown packing paper, cardboard, and more. I hope Sun Spots helps you find a match!

DEAR SUN SPOTS: I have a bathroom cabinet in good condition to give away for free. Please call me at 783-3850. — Normand, Lewiston

ANSWER: You may want to take a photo of that cabinet in case folks want to have a look  before coming over. Good luck with finding a new home for it!
