Let Us Know What You are Reading This Summer

Here's a book suggestion for your Summer reading from Linda Sielken...

A World of Curiosities by Louise Penney.

"Twisty, dark and so typically Gamache. I loved it."

A World of Curiosities (2022) is the 18th novel in the Inspector Gamache mystery series written by the Canadian author Louise Penny. Like the others, this one revolves around the small village of Three Pines, Quebec. The central mystery involves the discovery of a sealed and hidden room containing a strange and sinister painting; Gamache’s investigation of the painting leads him to confront frightening events from his past, as well as themes of forgiveness, redemption, and fierce bonds between family members. (Goodreads review)

Four Ways to keep from becoming a

Scam Victim

Source: Sheriff's Auxillary Scam Squad

DON'T ANSWER

When the phone rings, do not answer if you do not know the caller. Don't worry, important callers will leave a message. Many caller-id numbers are fake!

HANG UP

If you did answer, do not panic if it is a suspicious call. Do not help him or her out - just hang up! You do not owe this stranger any of your time. Hang up!

DELETE!

Delete suspicious emails, and never open any email unless you are certain of the sender. Scammers set-up email addresses that look legit.

SHRED!

Shred all mail and documents with your personal information on them. DO NOT just throw them in the trash. Shred your documents to protect your identity.

• Sign up on the Do Not Call list at donotcall.gov.
