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.

Letter to the editor: Viking funerals more respectful than embalming, burial
Share
As a man named Eric, born in Norway (Maine) and a graduate of Oxford Hills High School, I must say that I am all in favor of the Viking funeral movement.
I consider myself death-positive and have already planned the rest of my passing: bagpipes playing the “Star Trek: The Next Generation” theme, and a headstone printed in Comic Sans so I can continue to annoy people well after my death.
Is it disrespectful to do things in a manner that may not be traditional or well accepted? Not if it’s what you want for yourself. How is it better to lay rotting in a box, pumped full of chemicals that seep into the groundwater?
