“Woodies in the Cove” Free to Attend for the 11th Year WELLS T he e le ve nt h a n nu a l Woodies in the Cove car show, sponsored by the Historical Society of Wells and Ogunquit (HSWO), will be held on Saturday, August 13. The annual show brings together Woodies – vehicles constructed of wood or styled to resemble wood elements – from the Model As of the ‘20s to the Tin Woodies of the ‘50s. According to HSWO, interest in these unique vehicles has made this show one of the largest attended and most popular car shows in New England and
on the East Coast. It is also the largest fundraiser for the society and remains free to the public. “Visitors and residents alike look forward to this show every year,” says executive director Bryce Waldrop, “It is like a museum of fine Woodie cars and a fun community event for people of all ages. And this year we will be offering a colorful, 16-month Woodie calendar for sale. They are sure to sell out!” Trophies for various categories will also be awarded by the society. The event will be held next to McDonalds on Route 1
in Wells, at 974 Post Road, and runs from 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m., followed by a parade from the venue through Ogunquit and into Perkins Cove, 2-3 p.m. Vehicle registrants are for Woodies only, with some additional unique and high-end cars that may attend by special invitation. Owners of vehicles wishing to participate should contact the event coordinator, Sonny Perkins, at woodiesinthecove@gmail.com and include a picture of the car.

A Start to the Bark Park in York YORK The Friends of York Dog Park (FOYDP) are pleased to announce that the site preparation for the community dog park at 17 Bog Road has begun. The organization has engaged the service and expertise of Rick Barnaby, of Yankee Hardwood, to create the pathway through the woods that will lead to the fenced-in acreage on which there will be one large and one small exercise pen. Strategies are being implemented to adhere to both aesthetic and environmental guidelines. In addition to creating and grading a woodland walk and grading the pen area, an expanded parking area adjacent to

the Mackey Skate Park will also be created. Friends of York Dog Park is a nonprofit organization founded by York residents who believe a community dog park will be a benefit to all by providing a safe and confined location for owners to meet and exercise their dogs. The group first met in December 2019 and incorporated as a nonprofit in May 2020. No taxpayer funding is involved in the project, and FOYDP actively seeks contributions from individuals and businesses to fund the park’s creation and maintenance.

Habitat Home to Hold Ceremony
KENNEBUNKPORT Habitat for Humanity York County has completed construction of a single-family home in Cape Porpoise in Kennebunkport and will hand over the keys during a dedication ceremony on Tuesday, August 9, at 3 p.m. The ceremony, being held at 36 Mills Road, Kennebunkport, will be an opportunity to hear speakers from Habitat, the homebuyer family, and community leaders. In 2018, a resident of Kennebunkport generously donated the property to Habitat for Humanity. Habitat worked with the town of Kennebunkport to split the lot to allow it to build two simple, decent, and affordable homes. These homes are energy efficient, affordable to operate, and designed to suit the character of the neighborhood.
The dedication ceremony celebrates the completion of the first home on this property. It comes at a time in which housing prices nationwide are at an alltime high. Partnering with Habitat has enabled Derek, Alicia, and their two young sons to own a home in the community where they lived and worked for several years. Derek, who served three tours in the Middle East with the 82nd Airborne Division, has worked in the greater Kennebunkport restaurant industry for many years. This home will allow the family to become an integral part of the community and grant them the peace of mind that comes with stable housing. Parking is not available in front of the house; Habitat has See HABITAT on page 3 . . .

New Tuskegee Wall in Town Hall SOUTH BERWICK As of this week, people who enter the town offices in South Berwick will learn about Tuskegee, AL, a city 1275 miles and a world away. The town has taken another step in solidifying its relationship with Tuskegee by installing a full wall display introducing its sister city in Alabama. During the final evening of a four-day visit to South Berwick by Tuskegee Mayor Tony Haygood and three other residents of the city, South Berwick Town Manager Tim Pellerin unveiled the new exhibit. “This wall will be for ‘sharing our culture and ideals to remember our past, embrace the present and enhance our future by joining together our shared vision for tomorrow,’” Pellerin said, reading from the inscription on the wall. The wall that welcomes visitors to the town hall also includes photos of the Tuskegee Airmen, the country’s first African American military pilots; a photo of Booker T. Washington, the founder of Tuskegee University, with his famous quote,

Old York’s Rare Waere Chest YORK Old York Historical Society (OYHS) has purchased a rare Boston chest of drawers that descended through the Weare Family of Cape Neddick. The chest of drawers, known as the Weare Chest, was made between 1680 and 1700, and is attributed to the Mason-Messinger shop tradition. Ralph Mason (1599-1679) and Henry Messigner (d. 1681) were London-trained joiners (cabinetmakers) who began working in Boston in the 1630s. Their sons were trained in the craft and continued making London-style furniture in Boston. While Mason-Messinger was considered the top cabinet-making shop in 17th-century Boston, relatively few of their high-style chests of drawers survive. The Weare Chest is one of the finest known chests of drawers produced by the shop tradition. The presence of the chest in the York area is well documented. It descended through the family of Peter Weare Sr. (1618-1692), an early resident of York and Cape Neddick, to his sixth great-granddaughter, Virginia Weare Parsons (1920-2017). The chest was sold at auction by the Parsons estate in
2017, and then subsequently sold in 2021 by a North Carolina auction house to a private collector in Florida. OYHS staff contacted the collector through the auction house and, over a period of months, negotiated the purchase of the chest. Securing the chest of drawers for the collection was made possible through the Virginia and Robert Parsons Collections Fund bequeathed to OYHS by Virginia Parsons in 2017. When the Parsons estate sold the chest in 2017, OYHS did not have the financial resources to purchase significant objects and had not yet received the bequest of the Parsons Collections Fund. Chests of drawers are documented infrequently in early See CHEST on page 8 . . .

. . . CHEST from page 4 York households. Research into the wills and estate inventories of members of the Weare family reveal that the chest of drawers likely came into the possession of the Weares around the time of the 1763 marriage of Joseph Weare (1734-1830) and Elizabeth Stone (1735-1804). Joseph was the great-grandson of Peter Weare Sr., and his wife was the daughter of Benjamin Stone (1690-1773), a shipwright and innkeeper who was born in Boston in 1690 and settled in York around 1712. Stone built a large house at 192 York Street that still stands, and his will in 1773 lists furniture, likely made in Boston, including “my Table and Chest of Drawers and large looking glass.” Joel Lefever, OYHS executive director, says,“The Weare Chest is a major addition to our collection. York was the seat of government in colonial Maine, and the town’s survival following the Candlemas Raid of 1692 meant that Maine remained part of New England. Only a handful of objects owned by York residents before 1715 are known, and the addition of the chest will help us to better interpret the early period of York’s English settlement.” The chest currently is on exhibit in the Remick Gallery of the Old York Museum Center and Virginia Weare Parsons Education Center, 3 Lindsay Road, York.

~ Arts & Entertainment ~ Love and Chance at Hamilton House
SOUTH BERWICK Faked identities, slapstick comedy, and a set of marriages. Join Hamilton House this summer for an outdoor performance of Theater in the Open’s “The Game of Love and Chance” (Le Jeu de l’Amour et du Hasard), Sunday, August 14, 5-6:30 p.m., in the lush garden overlooking the Salmon Falls River. Pierre Marivaux’s classic romantic comedy from 1730 will have the audience in stitches, as two couples use deceit to figure each other out. Silvia and
Dorante play the game of love and chance with each other, egged on by Silvia’s father, Monsieur Orgon, and the commedia dell’arte-inspired characters Lisette and Arlequin. Hamilton House is located at 40 Vaughan’s Lane, South Berwick. Viewers are invited to bring a beach chair, blanket, and a picnic for their enjoyment. Tickets are $20 and can be purchased at the gate or online. For more information, visit www.historicnewengland.
Maine Plien Air Exhibition YORK The George Marshall Store Gallery is pleased to present “The Maine Plein Air Experience,” an exhibition of paintings by five Maine artists: Lois Dodd, David Little, John David O’Shaughnessy, Russel Whitten, and Charles Thompson, who is also curating the show. According to the gallery, “Each artist paints on location and from observation, honestly and intuitively translating their surroundings through the ever-shifting filters of weather and light. Dodd, an icon of the postwar New York art scene, paints brilliantly straightforward depictions of her home and surroundings in midcoast Maine. Little, an
author and artist, has painted and studied the state’s diverse terrain for over thirty years. O’Shaughnessy composes seascapes from life in all shifts of weather, and teaches at the Currier Museum of Art. Thompson, a professor at the University of New England, paints entirely from life, beginning and completing each piece on location. Whitten, a student of the late DeWitt Hardy, captures quintessential views of Maine in masterful watercolor paintings.” The exhibition is on view August 13 through September 18 in the gallery located at 140 Lindsay Road, York. An opening reception will be held Saturday, August 13, 5-7 p.m. Regular hours are Thursday through
John David O’Shaugnessy, “Rocks Holding the Coastline,” oil on canvas.
Sunday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and by appointment. The George Marshall Store Gallery “is a contemporary art space specializing in exhibitions of emerging and mid-career artists from Maine and New England.” For more information, visit georgemarshallstoregallery.com.

According to the artist, “’The Anchorite’ is an immersive, theatrical offering which holds space for visitors to process these unavoidably harrowing times whilst being reminded of their humanity and the beauty that still remains. This long-form theater piece will occur over the span of one month, with three ‘sittings’ a week wherein visitors may witness or contribute to the Shrine of Holy Noticing, take a moment to rest in the sanctuary, or speak with The Anchorite about their own lives in this existentially complex time. The Anchorite is a magical space which balances our need to tenderly place ourselves amidst uncertainty with the need to remember the little moments of love, wonder, and beauty that make life worth living.”

Playhouse Announces Cast of “Mr. Holand’s Opus”
OGUNQUITOg unquit Playhouse is proud to announce casting for the world premiere musical adaptation of “Mr. Holland’s Opus,” featuring book, lyrics, and direction by Tony Award winner BD Wong and music by Tony Award nominee Wayne Barker. Inspired by the 1995 Oscar-nominated film, “Mr. Holland’s Opus” depicts a high school music teacher’s profound effect on the lives of his students. Glenn Holland gives up his dreams for teaching
high school music to make ends meet. Little does he realize that leaving one’s mark on the world can take many different forms, as his temporary detour leads to a lifetime impacting the lives of hundreds. Adapting Patrick Sheane Duncan’s screenplay for the 1995 film that starred Richard Dreyfuss, this musical journey is a love letter to the enduring influence music has on humanity. The playhouse says its production “boasts a refreshingly diverse cast of Broadway actors

According to the artist, he is known for his impressionistic style in capturing light, and aims to bring his artistic interpretation to his paintings rather than laboring for bare realism. “Southern Maine, specifically Ogunquit, gives a painter such beautiful inspiration as it has been painted by so many famous artists in the past,” says Della Bernarda. “As my private studio is only open one weekend a year, it has become a community event where people can both enjoy art as well as visit a working studio.” For more information, visit www.ricdellabernarda.com.

~ Ask The Computer Pro ~ From the (Digital) Archives Dear Computer Pro, I see a lot of people have pictures of their grandkids on their computer screen. I have lots of pictures of my grandkids, but I must open my files and go to pictures to see them. How can I put one on my screen all the time? Thank you, Mabel Dear Mabel, I think what you are referring to is the desktop background or wallpaper. This is the image that stays on your screen behind all the icons and any open programs. Since you already know how to open File Explorer and browse to your Pictures folder, you are 99% of the way there. Once you have found the photo that you want to make your desktop background, simply right click on the photo, and choose “Set as desktop background” from the menu that appears and
voila! Glad to help, Matt Dear Computer Pro, I just bought a new laptop, and it came with a trial of McAfee? The trial is nearing the end and I don’t know if I should pay to renew it or is there something better? Thank you, Jane Dear Jane, If you ask five IT professionals this question, you will likely get five different answers and twice as many reasons why they like one or dislike the other. So, my response is merely my opinion, based on thirty years in the industry. I don’t care for McAfee. I have experience with all the big names, and my choice for the past several years has been Webroot. I have it deployed on hundreds of customer machines and have never had an issue with it keeping the machines safe. The biggest reason I prefer Webroot over the others is the fact that it takes
up minimal resources on your computer. Some of the other desktop security programs take up so much of your resources that your computer gets slower. If your computer was already beginning to feel like it was slow, this could be the difference between a computer that you can use or one that you cannot. I also like that Webroot is considered a “cloud antivirus solution,” which means that virus definitions are instantaneous rather than downloaded on a regular basis. If a new threat is found, you don’t have to worry about not getting an update for an hour or a day, it happens automatically in near real-time. Lastly and, to some extent, most importantly, Webroot was founded in Boulder, CO, in 1997 and is currently headquartered in nearby Broomfield, CO. When talking about desktop security software that has access to everything on your system and po-
Tech To Make Gardening More Fun Many people take to the great outdoors to escape the increasingly tech-driven daily grind. Though that’s an understandable perspective, gardeners who aren’t deploying tech in their home gardens could be missing out on a host of benefits that could help their plants, flowers, and vegetables thrive. Devices like smartphones and tablets have made many aspects of life easier and more efficient, and various tech products can do the same when working in the garden. Plant monitor: Plant monitors are sensors that can keep tabs on the health of plants and deliver that information to gardeners. Plant monitors often connect to smartphones via Bluetooth and can deliver information on the amount of heat, light, and water a plant is getting. Sensors vary in price, and some will provide more information than others. But these sensors are ideal for
gardeners who love their plants but often forget to check up on them each day. Garden camera: Critters and insects are the bane of many gardeners’ existence. Determining just what is nibbling away at flowers and plants isn’t always so easy, as many animals are savvy enough to restrict their dining to the middle of the night, and insects are so small they can be hard to spot. Garden cameras can serve as the watchmen of a garden, and gardeners can review footage to determine just who is compromising all of their hard work. They can then use that knowledge to remedy the situation and give their plants a better chance to thrive. Weather sensor: Even the most seasoned gardeners cannot document the conditions outside as effectively as a good weather sensor. Weather sensors track conditions such as temperature, relative humidity and air quality. This information can then
be paired with irrigation devices to ensure plants get all the care they need to thrive throughout the season. Garden hub: Avid gardeners have traditionally had to arrange for neighbors or loved ones to tend to their plants when they leave home for vacation or weekend getaways. Garden hubs can take care of that by pairing with smart irrigation systems that ensure plants are watered even when no one is home. Certain hubs even gather and analyze local weather conditions to develop a watering schedule to ensure plants thrive. These hubs aren’t just handy when on vacation, as they can be great for gardeners who want to know things about their plants that are not apparent to the naked eye. People may see their gardens as welcome respites from their devices. But garden gadgets can help plants thrive and make time in the garden that much more enjoyable.

tentially on your network, I am not a fan of using software from foreign countries. Here is a list of some of the biggest security companies out there and where they are located so you can decide for yourself: AVG (Czech Republic), Avast (Czech Republic), Bitdefender (Romania), ESET (Slovakia), Kaspersky (Russia), Malwarebytes (USA), McAfee (USA), Norton (USA), Sophos (UK), Webroot (USA). Good luck! Matt Dear Computer Pro, I recently upgraded my desktop to Windows 11. I have gotten used to most of the nuances, but the one thing that just irritates me is the location of the Windows 11 icons on the taskbar. They are centered in the middle of the taskbar like my daughter’s MacBook. Is there any way to “fix” this and move my icons to the left where they have been since Windows 95? Thanks, Bob Dear Bob, This was the one thing that bothered me most about Windows 11 at first. Luckily for us users, it’s an easy fix. All you need to do is right click on an empty spot on the taskbar and then click “Taskbar settings” from the menu that appears. From the taskbar personalization window, click on the “Taskbar behaviors” header to expand that section. One of the options in this section is “Taskbar alignment” with a pull-down menu. Change that option from “Center” to “Left” and you will see your icons instantly move to the left side of the Taskbar . . . where they belong! While in this taskbar personalization window, this would be a wonderful time to turn off the icons that most people never use. At the top of that screen under “Taskbar items,” there are
WS
toggle buttons for “Search,” “Task view,” “Widgets,” and “Chat.” If you never use these programs, you can remove them from your taskbar and save a little bit of space by simply clicking on the corresponding toggle switch. The last section I typically customize is the “Taskbar corner overflow” section. This is where you can toggle which icons are always visible on the right side of the taskbar near the clock. This can save time by not having to first click the up arrow to get to the hidden icons. Hope this helps! Matt Dear Computer Pro, I just bought a new computer. My last one had Windows 7. Windows 11 looks completely different. I’m old school and would like to find a book that I can read and learn about Windows 11. Do you have a recommendation? Thanks, William Dear William, Though many may find the naming convention insulting, the “for dummies” books are absolutely wonderful. “Windows 11 for Dummies” is available, and I am sure it will show you everything you need to know to get started. Another terrific book from the same folks is “The Internet for Dummies.” Though it is a few years old, it is still highly informative and touches on everything from setting up a cablemodem to social media. Lastly, Sali Kaceli has created a video titled “Windows 11 Full Tutorial” that is available on YouTube. Enjoy! Matt Interested in learning more? Matt Gallant is owner of Oasis IT in South Berwick.

My Eyes are Dim: Computer Eye Strain Workplace hazards are a part of life for people in various professions. Office workers might not consider themselves vulnerable to injury when they’re at work, but individuals who spent much of their day staring at a computer screen are at risk of developing computer eye strain. According to The Vision Council, nearly 60% of individuals who routinely use computers and digital devices experience symptoms of computer eye strain. The health care experts at Cedars Sinai note that computer eye strain symptoms can include dry eyes, headache, blurred vision, and eye twitching. Despite the prevalence of computer eye strain, office workers and others who spend long periods of time at their computers can take steps to reduce their risk. Redo your work environment. Cedars Sinai recommends individuals concerned about computer eye strain create a better work environment to reduce their risk. The online vision health and wellness resource All About Vision notes that eye strain is often a byproduct of excessively bright light. That light could be natural light coming in through a window or from interior lighting that is harsh on the eyes. If exterior light is making your office excessively bright, close drapes, shades, or blinds to keep that light out. Excessively bright lighting fixtures can be modified
by using fewer light bulbs or fluorescent tubes or replacing existing bulbs with lower intensity alternatives. All About Vision also notes that some individuals find floor lamps that employ soft white light from LED bulbs are less taxing on their eyes than overhead fluorescent lighting. Schedule vision checkups. Cedars Sinai notes that uncorrected vision problems are a major cause of computer eye strain. The American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO) recommends individuals get a complete eye exam once in their 20s, twice in their 30s, and then again when they turn 40. A comprehensive eye exam at 40 is necessary because, the AAO notes, this is when early signs of disease or changes in vision may appear. Diseases or changes can contribute to computer eye strain, among other issues. After conducting a comprehensive eye exam, ophthalmologists will then tell patients how often they should have their vision tested, and individuals should heed this advice and keep appointments. Upgrade your tech. All About Vision notes that f latpanel LED screens with anti-

reflective surfaces are preferable to computer screens with cathode ray tubes, which can cause an imperceptible flicker of images that contributes to computer eye strain. A large display screen, whether it’s a desktop computer or a monitor connected to a laptop, also can reduce risk for computer eye strain.

plateau. But recognizing this phenomenon can help people get their workouts back on track. What is a fitness plateau? The exercise resource GymBet says a fitness plateau is a phase when the body adjusts to a workout routine and stops progressing further. The body has become accustomed to the stress and changes an exercise routine has put on it in order to grow muscles, reduce fat, or improve in training. What causes a plateau? The human body is incredibly resilient and can adapt to the physical demands of a workout. That means a workout initially can produce noticeable results. But over time, the body will adapt, and something that was challenging will become easier. As a result, a familiar and once effective workout will no longer produce the desired results. Some call this General Adaption Syndrome. Even though hitting a plateau may seem frustrating, it is a good sign that an individual is making progress in a fitness program.

Health & Fitness What a Headache! Anyone who has experienced a headache is aware of just how overwhelming they can be. And when it comes to pain and disruption of daily life, perhaps no type of headache is more overwhelming than migraines. The World Health Organization notes that migraines are caused by the activation of a mechanism deep in the brain that leads to the release of pain-producing inflammatory substances around the nerves and blood vessels of the head. Though all headaches can be painful, migraines tend to be especially so, and even longtime migraine sufferers may not know why that is. The health care experts at Penn Medicine note that migraines are more than just headaches. When a person is suffering a migraine, the changes in brain activity that are occurring are affecting blood in the brain and surrounding tissues. That can cause a range of symptoms that can make migraines an especially difficult issue to contend with. Severe head pain is a common characteristic of migraines, but Penn Medicine notes individuals also may develop other symptoms while suffering from a migraine, including, nausea, increased sensitivity to light, sound, or smells, dizziness, and extreme fatigue. Each of these symptoms is difficult to contend with on its own, and much more so when individuals also are experiencing migraine-related pain. In addition, some individuals experience some or all of these symptoms during the course of a migraine. What’s more, estimates from the American Migraine Foundation (AMF) indicate that untreated migraines can last anywhere from four to 72 hours. In addition, the AMF notes that a migraine attack is made up of four phases, and a week can go by between the onset of the first phase and the completion of the fourth. The symptoms combined with the length of the migraine undoubtedly contribute to the well-earned reputation that migraines are the most difficult of all headaches to confront. So what can be done? The A MF notes that the exact causes of migraines remain unclear. However, there may be a hereditary link, and various environmental factors

can trigger an attack. Individuals should ask close family members, including parents, if they have dealt with migraines. It also can be wise to avoid common triggers, which may include certain foods and alcohol. Making a concerted effort to stay hydrated also may help in the fight against migraines. Data indicates that women suffer considerably more migraines than men, and the AMF suggests that hormonal fluctuations, such as those that occur during menstrual cycles, could be behind that. Women armed with this knowledge can do their best to avoid potential migraine triggers when they are menstruating. Migraines can be debilitating, and headaches are not the only way they can adversely affect quality of life. Individuals can learn more about migraines at www.americanmigrainefoundation.org.

Men and women are well aware that minor aches and pains are part of aging. A balky knee that acts up on rainy days or an old sports injury that still triggers periodic discomfort may not be much to worry about, but a more serious condi-
tion such as chronic back pain can be so debilitating that it’s wise for individuals to do whatever they can to avoid it or delay its arrival. Millions of cases of chronic back pain undoubtedly go unreported. That’s because many individuals accept back pain as a

side effect of aging, while others lack access to health care, making it difficult to pinpoint just how prevalent chronic back pain is. However, the Global Burden of Disease Study 2017 estimated that around 577 million people across the globe experience lower back pain, or LBP. That prevalence should not give the impression that chronic back pain is unavoidable. In fact, various strategies can be employed to prevent back pain and all the negative consequences that come with it. Be active. The Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (ODPHP) notes that physical activity strengthens the back and lowers the risk for developing back pain. The ODPHP recommends individuals engage in back-strengthening and stretching exercises at least two days per week. Chiropractors or personal trainers can recommend safe back-strengthening exercises, which the Mayo Clinic notes include the bridge exercise and shoulder blade squeeze. Stretches individuals can try include the knee-to-chest stretch, the lower back rotational stretch, and the cat stretch. Embrace new exercise routines. Individuals accustomed to strength training that involves dumbbells and circuit training machines should know that there are other ways to build strength and benefit the back at the same

time. For example, studies have shown the value of Pilates in increasing the strength of core muscles, including those in the lower back. In addition, the ODPHP recommends yoga to individuals who want to make their backs stronger and lower their risk for back pain. Many fitness facilities have long since recognized the value of yoga and pilates and now include each approach in their class schedules. Perfect your posture. Another way to prevent back pain is to make a concerted effort to maintain good posture. The ODPHP urges individuals to avoid slouching when standing and sitting and to stand tall with head up and shoulders back. When sitting, sit with back straight against the back of the chair and feet flat on the floor. If possible, keep the knees slightly higher than the hips when sitting. Alternate between
sitting and standing to avoid being in the same position for too long. Lift correctly. Poor technique when lifting things, even items that are not excessively heavy, can contribute to back pain. When lifting items, do so with the legs and not the back. The ODPHP urges individuals to keep their backs straight and bend at the knees or hips when lifting items. Avoid lifting especially heavy items without assistance. Despite its prevalence, back pain is not a given. Individuals can keep various strategies in mind to avoid joining the hundreds of millions of people across the globe who suffer from back pain every day.

. . . PLATEAU from page 14 sociation says one way to overcome a plateau is to follow the FITT principle of exercise. This stands for frequency, intensity, time, and type. Once a plateau has been reached, a person will have to change one or more components of FITT to once again get desired results. That may mean increasing frequency and/or intensity, spending more time in an exercise session, or changing the type of workout. If the plateau involves a lack of weight loss, then tracking food for a week or two can show just how many calories are going in versus how many are expended. Often, hitting a plateau can be traced to dietary changes.
Another factor in hitting fitness plateaus that people may not realize is mental motivation. An individual who is becoming bored in a workout may not put forth the same level of effort, and that can manifest itself in a lack of results. Modifying the workout or attending a new program can be a small trigger to reach a new fitness level. A fitness plateau is something active people need to consider. Modifications can be made to get progress back on track. The Weekly Sentinel does not endorse any products or services suggested by third-party sources.

Paul Edward Brouker, 91 YOR K – Paul Edward Brouker died peacefully early Sunday morning, July 24, 2022, surrounded by family and loving caregivers at the Maine Veteran’s Home in Scarborough. He will be dearly missed. He is survived by his beloved spouse, Marlene, and their three children, five grandchildren, and two greatgrandchildren, as well as nephews, nieces, and cousins. Paul and Marlene were married for 68 years. Paul was devoted to Marlene and was a great husband and father. Paul especially loved being a grandfather and great-grandfather and had such pride in them all. He

had a Christian heart and was always a good friend. Paul worked 37 years at the General Electric plant in Pittsfield, MA. However, his life was molded by the Navy and the Air Force, where adventure found his heart. His service in the Air Force was during the Korean War. He loved his family, his country, and his Red Sox baseball throughout his 91 years. Paul and Marlene moved from their hometown of Pittsfield in 2005 to be near to and watch their grandchildren grow up. They lived for 15 years in York Senior Housing and enjoyed their apartment by the beach. They made friends and served on boards as resident helpers, marking some of the most wonderful years of their life. Paul looked tough (and he was!), but underneath was a soft and loving soul. Humor was very important to Paul, and a smile or quick joke would lift your spirits. An artist at heart, a precious gift from his mom was the ability to play the piano by ear. You could name a song and Paul could play it beautifully. Paul knew history and read countless books, especially military history. His favorite holiday was Christmas, perhaps because of the miracles the holiday represents.

Andy, lovingly known as “Grampy” or “Uncle Andy” to family and friends, is survived by his loving wife of 47 years, Norma (Theriault) Compagna. A ndy was bor n in Manchester, NH, on May 3, 1929. He was the son of the late Joseph Compagna and Angeline (Sevigny) Compagna.

Andy retired as a Master Sergeant in 1975 after 26 years of US Navy and
Bernier-Gelinas FUNERAL HOME
Kittery, ME We are often asked by the families we serve, here at JS Pelkey & Son and Bernier Funeral Homes, why certain expressions and traditions exist in the funeral service industry. One of the most often asked questions is “Why send flowers to a memorial service or funeral, aren’t they just a waste of money?” Well nothing could be further from the truth. As my friend Todd Van Beck recently wrote in an article: Flowers are sent to funerals for several reasons. Flowers are a means of expression. It is often difficult for those mourning a death to put feelings into words. Flowers are a visual expression of love, sympathy, and respect. They are a way of lending support and sharing the burden of grief. In addition to sending flowers to the funeral, there is a growing trend to send flowers to the home of the bereaved after the service. Some people also send flowers to the church in memory of the deceased. Flowers create a background of warmth and beauty which adds to the dignity and consolation of the service. Those who have attended services where there were no flowers have noted that something was

bereaved’s feelings in the patterns of community support which are psychologically beneficial. Flowers, however, express the inexpressible – they are symbolic.
missing – that the funeral was depressing. The funeral meets the bereaved’s need for support. Death throws people into despair and depression by separating them from one who has provided love, companionship, and security. The funeral and customs provide the means by which those close to them can give their support and share their suffering. The funeral period provides for the expression of sorrow. Only through talking about the past can the bereaved person realize the extent of the relationship with the deceased, and accept the loss and suffering. Only through weeping and talking to good listeners can they release their grief and feelings of guilt and hostility. Experts in grief therapy believe that it can be expressed best through rites, rituals, and ceremonies. The ceremony deals primarily with intellectual concepts and doesn’t fully engage the
125 Old Post Rd., Kittery, ME 207-439-4900 www.jspelkeyfuneralhome.com
There are three points to be stressed, finally, in connection with the tradition of funeral flowers. First, the role of flowers are both symbolic and aesthetic. They add great value to the richness and meaning of the ritual. Second, flowers represent sympathy extended to the bereaved. Third, flowers are sent to both the living and the dead. They are sent to the living as comfort and as tokens of respect for the deceased. We, at the JS Pelkey & Son and the Bernier Funeral Homes, hold the value of the work our local florists do in very high regard. We always encourage the families we serve to contact a local florist directly. Certainly there are national floral outlets that can be reached with a simple Google search but, honestly, the quality of these products are often substandard. Simply click the “Send Flowers” tab on our website and you will be directed to our list of trusted florists.
Air Force services. He worked on the radio and radar controls at Pease Air National Guard Base in Portsmouth. At a young age, Andy’s favorite hobby was repairing picture tubes television. He was known as the “TV Repair Man.” After retirement, Andy loved being a part of all of the activities at York Senior Center, especially socializing with his friends. He was a loving and devoted husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother, uncle, and friend. Andy had a great zest for life and will be profoundly missed by his family, friends, and anyone who had the pleasure of knowing him. Andy was deeply devoted to his faith and love of the Lord, our God. He was a very longtime parishioner of St. Christopher’s Church, York. He will be remembered for his love of music, singing, and playing at his church. He was predeceased by his parents; two grandchildren, Sara and Aaron; four brothers, Raymond Compagna, Robert Compagna, Raoul “Ralph” Compag na, and Marcel Compagna; and four sisters, Estelle Tessier, Anita Staples, Aura Walsh, and Irene Egan. Family members include his wife, Norma Compagna, of York; his children and their spouses, Robert and Cathy Compag na, of G reen land, N H , Pau l i ne a nd Rob e r t Charest Sr., of Carroll, NH, David and Kim Compagna, of Lexington, SC, Arleen and Greg Peterson, of Manchester, NH, James Compagna, of New Durham, NH, and Michele Theriault, of Portsmouth, NH; ten grandchildren, Robert Jr., Steven, Heather, Kenneth, Keith, Thomas, Tatum, Sean, Amy, and Adam; 28 greatgrandchildren; one sister, Cecile Sullivan, of Bedford, NH; and many nephews and nieces.

Helga Joan Dunbar, 87 W ELLS – Helga Joan Dunbar passed away peacefully on July 31, 2022, at the Portsmouth Regional Hospital. Helga was born on February 25, 1935, at the Hale Hospital in Haverhill, MA, the daughter of Harold D. Osgood and Ruth H. (Frecker) Osgood, and sister to H. Davison Osgood Jr. Helga g raduated f rom Fryeburg Academy in Fryeburg, in 1952, where she played on the undefeated softball team as the second base player in 1950, 1951, and 1952. Helga would tell stories of shoveling pathways from her dorm to the classroom buildings where the walls of snow would tower over her. During her high-school years, she worked summers at the Christmas Farm Inn in New Hampshire, at the Narragansett Inn in Kennebunk Beach, and at the Lawnmere Inn in Southport. In 1954, Helga graduated from Colby Junior College, now known as Colby Sawyer College, in New London, NH. Br ief ly, Helga worked at Hale, Sanderson Byrnes & Morton, a Boston law firm; but, always seeking to be outside in the fresh air, she meandered back to Maine where she worked at the Sprucewold Lodge as the events reservation manager. It was in Boothbay, where she met her future husband, Hugh Dakers, who worked as a chef at the Spruce Point Inn, and they were married in 1955 at the Bradford Congregational Church, near Haverhill. After living in different locations, moving several times in one year, Hugh and Helga built a home in KenSee DUNBAR on page 22 . . .

FINANCE & CAREER Senior Property Companies Receive Tech Grants Tax Stabilization
YORK COUNTY Over 100 technology companies in Maine were recently awarded a total of $23.3 million in grants as part of the Maine Jobs and Recovery Plan. The awards were made by the Pandemic Recovery for an Innovative Maine Economy (PRIME) fund, which is administered by the Maine Technology Institute (MTI). The new fund focuses its investments in businesses engaged in Maine’s targeted technology sectors, which include biotechnology, composites and advanced materials, forestry and agriculture, marine industries, and precision manufacturing, among others. Among the companies who received grants were Hyperlite Mountain Gear Inc., Biddeford Internet Corp., DeepWater Buoyancy Inc., ATX Advisory LLC, Thermoformed Plastics of New England, Farmhand Automation Inc., Marine Solar Point LLC, Tootie’s Tempeh Inc., Ropeless Systems Inc., Ocean Approved Inc., Prapela Inc., all in Biddeford; Pumpspotting Inc. in Eliot; Caron Engineering Inc. in Wells; and Orion Technology Group LLC and Abierto Networks LLC, both in York. Awards to these companies ranged from just under $18,000 (Orion) to nearly $380,000 (Caron). To be eligible for a PRIME grant, businesses must be engaged in Maine’s designated technology sectors through research, development, or innovation; employ 250 fulltime employees or fewer; and demonstrate that their business
has been adversely impacted by the pandemic. “MTI received well over 300 applications for the PRIME fund, which demonstrates the overwhelming need for the support,” said Brian Whitney, president of MTI. “While the funding decisions were incredibly difficult given the sheer volume of proposals and the high quality of the applications, we are confident that these grants will help strengthen our state’s tech-based businesses, generate quality jobs, and provide for a more resilient Maine economy.” Eligible uses of grant funds include payroll, rent or mortgage payments for business facilities, business-related equip-
ment purchases, start-up costs for new programs and/or new markets which may require capital investment, and more. Since the onset of the pandemic, the Mills Administration has allocated more than $288 million in assistance to support Maine small businesses across a variety of economic sectors. Earlier this month, the governor announced two further programs – Grow Maine and Thrive Maine – that utilize federal funds to deliver an additional $120 million to help small businesses succeed.

Question the QR STATEWIDE From the Better Business Bureau (BBB) Maine: There are many legitimate and helpful uses for QR codes. The use and consumer familiarity with them present an opportunity for businesses to direct current or potential customers to their websites, mobile apps, digital marketplaces, or anything else available on the internet. Restaurants often use them to allow their diners to access a digital menu, preventing the spread of contagions and saving the business money. Business cards can include a QR code that will direct to an online portfolio, complete with videos and more in-depth information about the services offered than a standard business card can display.
However, scammers are also taking note of the technology and using QR codes to carry out various schemes. Here are some recent ways scammers are using QR codes: Parking meter payment. Fraudulent QR codes are often placed on the back of parking meters, leading victims to assume that they can pay for parking through the QR code if they do not have change. Con artists can easily create a QR code for free online, which they then print on stickers and either cover up an actual QR code or place where it makes logical sense. After paying for the spot through the QR code, some victims return to find their vehicle has been towed or received a parking ticket for non-payment, multiplying the amount of money lost.

STATEWIDE Property tax stabilization for senior citizens, also known as the Property Tax Stabilization Program, is a state program that allows certain senior-citizen residents to stabilize, or freeze, the property taxes on their homestead. As long as they qualify and file a timely application each year, the tax will be frozen at the amount billed in the prior tax year. Eligible residents who move may transfer the fixed tax amount to a new homestead, even if that new homestead is in a different Maine municipality. To be eligible for the program, an individual must meet all the requirements as of April 1 of the property tax year for which they are requesting stabilization. Eligible applicants must be at least 65 years old, a permanent resident of Maine, have owned
a Maine homestead for at least ten years, and be eligible for a homestead exemption on the property they are placing in the program. If a homestead is owned by more than one individual as joint tenants, only one owner needs to qualify for the program to participate. There are no income or asset limitations to qualify. Applications are available at the Maine Revenue Services (MRS) website at www.maine. gov, from your local town offices, or download a PDF at www.tinyurl.com/2xeete8k. Applicants can also call the Property Tax Division of MRS at 207-624-5600 to have an application mailed to them.

. . . DUNBAR from page 20 nebunkport in 1962 and moved in with their three sons, one of whom still owns the house today. Never one for sitting, Helga immersed herself in southern Maine civic activities, including being the secretary for the Women’s GOP Club and a Kennebunkport Budget Board member. Helga also worked tirelessly for the Head Start Program in Biddeford helping many local children to truly catch a head start in life. She was an overachiever and had high expectations for everyone she worked with to help ensure the best possible results. In addition, she always had time to be involved with and supportive of her sons’ sporting activities and outside interests. She was a Cub Scout leader, traveled far and wide to watch hockey games, baseball games, and other sporting events, and would even watch all three showings of the same school play if her son was a part of the performance. It was during this time that she developed a closer relationship with the Lord and became an active member of the Village Baptist Church, teaching Sunday school, helping with Christmas pageants, typing bulletins, and hosting potluck suppers. In the mid-1970s, Helga was the dining room manager for the Boothbay Harbor Yacht Club for several summers, working alongside her husband and three sons, raising the standard for the dining room experience and extending warm hospitality to the Club members and guests – she would run a tight ship, having an eye for every detail. In the early 1980s, Helga worked as the assistant innkeeper at the Captain Lord Mansion in Kennebunkport for nearly twenty years, offering friendly hospitality to all that she met. She enjoyed greeting all the guests with a warm smile and making
~ Obituaries ~ their stay at the inn delightful. And, one day, she was pleased to welcome Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward to the inn. In 1986, Helga married Carl L. Dunbar, and they enjoyed many happy years living in Wells and traveling throughout New England. Soon after they were married, Helga joined Carl in his newly formed business, Dunbar Water Pumps and Filters. Helga was the vice president and treasurer and truly ran the office without a glitch. Together they successfully grew the business. Many customers became friends because of Helga’s warm and caring personality. Even after marrying Carl, Helga and Carl always took the time to care for her former husband, Hugh, in his later years. Carl and Hugh became close friends. In 2003, she helped to oversee the renovations at the family cottage at Biddeford Pool. The pool held a special spot in her heart. Helga spent every summer on the beach at the pool from the year she was born in 1935 until her passing. She would welcome summer guests to the cottage as if they were arriving at a bed and breakfast, with muffins and treats in hand. Carl and Helga spent many years visiting quaint B&Bs, 75 in total, across New England, with a love for many special places in Maine. She particularly loved Camden, Boothbay, and places up north. A highlight was always the Blueberry Festival in Milford. Of course, in her travels, she could not drive by a craft fair without stopping to find special gifts for her family and friends. After selling the water company and retiring, Helga could not sit still. Helga dedicated herself to Safe Haven Humane Society in Wells, where she would care for neglected kittens and older cats, making sure that each one had a soft, warm bed and a hug goodnight. She made many friends at the Humane Society
and was glad when a cat departed for a forever home, including her three cats, Mindy, Tilly, and Twinkles.

Joan Greenough Littlefield, 85 NORT H BERW IC K – Joan Greenough (Wayne) Littlefield passed away July 28, 2022, at home surrounded by family and with lots of love from those that could not be with her. She was born on January 6, 1937, in Concord, NH, to Joseph Fredrick Greenough and Helen McElroy Greenough. Joan graduated from Concord High School, class of 1955, and married Anthony (Pete) Wayne of Concord, NH. In 1956, they began their family of six children and relocated with Sprague Electric to Sanford, and began Walnut Brook Farm. She enjoyed raising and showing their black angus cows along with the various other animals. Joan started her next life in sales and marketing, moving to North Berwick, Lancaster PA, and Deerfield/Clewiston, FL. She later returned to her beloved Maine and began her childhood dream of caring for the elderly in their homes with the Visiting Nurses Service for many years until retirement. She remarried later in life to Bruce Littlefield, of North Berwick, and they retired to North Fort Myers, FL, for over ten years until her return to Maine four years ago to be nearer to her family. Joan was very devoted and active in many churches during her lifetime. She loved to walk, garden beautiful flow-
ers, taking pictures of them and sunsets, painting and crafts, and spending time with her family. Also a huge sports lover of the Patriots and the Red Sox, with many a family member getting hats, shirts, glasses, or anything with their logos, along with her screaming at the TV during the games for the great and bad plays. Joan also enjoyed her food with the funny comments of “Yum yum” or “Boy, oh boy, is that good!!” Joan is survived by her children: Peter Wayne (eldest son) and caring partner Linda Libby, of North Berwick; Jans Wayne, of Barnstead, NH; Jon Wayne and wife Georgia, of Berwick; Paula Wayne and partner Jay Bell, of Bradenton, FL; and Heidi Wayne Bergeron and husband Tim, of North Berwick. Joan has nine grandchildren: Joshua, Jans Evan, Daniel, Jennifer, Kristen, Jessup, Casten, Kally, and Mary; and ten greatgrandchildren: Mason, Taylar, Maxwell, Zachary, Lily, Violet, Isla, Veda, Sydney, and Darlene. Joan is also survived by her three sisters: Jane Greenough Mcleod and husband Bob, of Moultonborough, NH; Peggy Greenough Small, of Greenacres, FL; and Judy Greenough Strople and husband Peter, of Moultonborough, NH. She was predeceased by her son Todd Wayne and grand-daughter Alyssa Wayne. Online condolences and memories may be shared at www.bibbersautumngreen.com. Donations may be made in her memory to Animal Welfare Society of Kennebunk, online at www.animalwelfaresociety.org, or by mail to Animal Welfare Society, PO Box 43, West Kennebunk, ME 04094. Arrangements are in the care of Bibber Memorial at Autumn Green, 47 Oak Street, Alfred. • • • • • • • • • • See MERRILL on page 24 . . .

. . . MERRILL from page 22
Morgan Layla Merrill, 16 NORT H BERW IC K – Morgan (Moe, Moe-Moe) Merrill passed away in her sleep on July 1, 2022, at her home in North Berwick. She was a sassy,
non-verbal young lady who would let you know how she felt through her eye contact. If she didn’t know or like a person, she typically would not look in their direction. When she loved you, her eyes would shine and her love would beam to those around her. A student of Noble High School Special Education classes, Morgan loved her friendships with the students and staff; even through online classes, her eyes would shine at the sound of her friends’ and teachers’ voices. Those who knew Moe closest knew her as a sweet, feisty, sassy, secret keeper; but above all else, she was the strongest person that those around her had the pleasure to know and love. Morgan loved rock music, her favorite band being AC/ DC, and loved to listen to her
music loud. She enjoyed spending time with family, going to school, and adored her brother and sister. Morgan was born with a very rare genetic disease called KCNT1 gene mutation. Although her life was cut short, she lived on the love and care of her devoted parents, school staff, school aides, direct support staff, medical stay, PT/OT therapist, family, and friends, along with the intensive care nurses who have held us in their hearts through hospital stays. Morgan is sur vived by her parents, Jamie and Katie (Pelletier) Merrill, her beloved sister and best friend, Harper, and her (whom her eyes always said) wild little brother, Nolan, all of North Berwick; grandparents Virginia and Paul Vallieres, Edward and Kathy Pel-
letier, Micki Merrill; aunts and uncles Shannon Merrill, Kristin and David Harding, Bruce and Jill French; and cousins Bruce and Alyson French. She was predeceased by her grandfathers, John H. Merrill, of Somersworth, NH, and Lee Albert, of East Rochester, NH, who both cherished her deeply. In lieu of f lowers, donations may be made to Noble High School Knight Hawks Unified Basketball team, C/O Deborah Hasty, 100 Noble Way, North Berwick, ME 03906 or VENMO @Deborah-Hasty-1; because Moe would want her favorite team to have new uniforms. If it wasn’t for the teachers’ tender love and care, Moe would have never been able to attend school. We would like her to live on in others’ happiness and joy in the simple things.
Love each other well. A Celebration of Moe’s life will be held Saturday, August 13, 12-1:30 p.m., followed by a service at 1:30 p.m. at the Johnson Funeral Home, 26 Market Street, North Berwick. Memories and condolences may be shared at www.johnsonfuneralhomeme.com.
dren and friendly kitties who want to be his sibling, Rainy will blossom into the confident, belly-rub-loving kitty that he’s shown he is deep down inside. Give us a call at 207-646-1611 for more information. Begin by filling out an adoption application at www.safehavenhumanesociety.org. Our Safe Haven Shop at 1784 Post Road in Wells is now open seven days a week during the busy summer season, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. We accept donations on Saturdays from 12 to 3 p.m. Books are currently 50% off.

If it’s unique and special, we would love it.
~ Pets ~ Safe Haven Humane Society WELLS Rainy’s life has been an adventure. In his two short years, he’s been trapped and neutered, then ear tipped and released. Ear tipping is a way of identifying a cat released back to the wild after it’s been neutered, so the kitty won’t have to be trapped again. Rainy eventually found his way to Safe Haven, and his

newest adventure began. He’s gotten lots of love, food, smiles, and a sunny, happy, free-roaming environment with other kitties to be his buddies. The only thing that Rainy is missing is a special kind of family. Right now, you can’t just walk up to him expecting purrs and cuddles; he’s is still testing the waters. Some of our volunteers have been accepted by him, and he allows them to pat him. Some have even given him belly rubs. But those are the chosen few. The right person for Rainy has the soul of a cat-lover: someone patient, grateful, unde-
Animal Welfare Society KENNEBUNK The Animal Welfare Society (AWS), the Animal Refuge League of Greater Portland (ARLGP), and three Maine shelters have been awarded legal custody of all but two cats and two dogs from the more than 50 pets seized by Maine Animal Welfare agents on April 7 from an Alfred home and property. The seizure occurred after the state’s animal welfare program received complaints regarding the condition of animals being housed on the Alfred property. After investigating, the agents deployed to the site for the removal and relocation of the pets.
They were supported by animal care staff members and veterinarians from both AWS and the ARLGP. Upon arrival at the respective shelters, the pets were examined by medical professionals at both AWS and ARLGP. Most of the animals had illnesses, such as intestinal parasites, and suffered from dehydration and malnutrition. They were exhibiting fear-based stress and anxiety. Several dogs tested positive for heartworm, which requires longterm treatment to cure. Shelter veterinarians have begun treatments, and the heartworm-positive dogs are steadily improving.

“After a long process of caring for and helping these pets heal, we are grateful for a resolution to this case,” states Abigail Smith, AWS executive director. “We look forward to finding new homes for these cats and dogs in the coming days and weeks.” ARLGP’s Patsy Murphy concurs. “These pets have made great strides in our care and in the care of our dedicated foster homes. After nearly four months, we are honored to finally find them the new beginnings they deserve.” Currently, the AWS has 25 dogs and 9 cats, and the ARLGP has 14 dogs and 1 cat. Many are being adopted by the foster families who have been caring for them; the remainder will be available for adoption starting Tuesday, August 2.

impossible for the user to know where the code will direct them after scanning, allowing scammers to send victims to phishing websites or downloads that will infect devices with malware. After scanning a code found in an email, text, or on a flyer, some victims are directed to a website that requests personal information that can lead to identity theft, compromised passwords for online accounts, or downloads that track the user’s activity on the device. Many phishing attempts begin with notification of “suspicious activity” on one of their online accounts and include a link or QR code for the user to verify their identity. In reality, the information provided is going to a scammer, which they then use for other purposes.

Utility and government impostors. Many consumers report they are contacted by their utility company, the Social Security Administration, or the IRS regarding an outstanding debt they must immediately pay in full. The representative claims that failure to pay the unpaid bill will result in either arrest, additional fines, or shutting off access to electricity, gas, or water. According to the impostor, the regular payment portal for these services is currently offline, but the victim can submit payment through another portal which, conveniently, they can access by following a link or scanning a QR code. The payment portal to which the victim is directed often mimics the real portal down to the finest detail, providing a false sense of security that it is legitimate. False sense of security. Reports to BBB and additional screenshots, emails, and texts detail how scammers include a legitimate QR code for the company or entity they are claiming to represent to give victims a false sense of security. These QR codes route to the official website for the organization, leading victims in receipt of these communications to more likely believe that the scammer is a legitimate representative. Other codes will direct the victim to an “employee profile” that includes official logos, badge numbers, professional headshots, and additional information designed to ease any fears the victim may have. Once the scammer is con-

fident that they have convinced their target, the likelihood that the victim will provide whatever information or money is requested drastically increases. How to avoid QR scams: Confirm QR code before scanning. If you receive a QR code from a friend via text or a message on social media from a workmate, be sure to confirm with that person they meant to send you the code to verify they have not been hacked. Also keep in mind what you know about the person messaging you. Trust in your intuition and avoid scanning any QR code until you know they sent it on purpose. Do not open links from strangers. If you receive an unsolicited message from a stranger that includes a QR code, BBB strongly recommends against scanning it. If the message promises exciting gifts or investment opportunities under the condition that you “act now,” be even more cautious. Scammers use this type of language consistently and rely on their targets to make immediate decisions before taking the time to verify its authenticity. Be wary of short links. Suppose a shortened URL appears when hovering your camera over a QR code. In that case, there is no way of knowing where it will direct you once the link is followed. Make sure you are confident that the QR code is legitimate before following short links, as it may send you to a malicious website. Once on the website, look at the URL and verify the domain and subdomain make sense for the organization that supposedly operates it. Scammers often switch around the domain and subdomains for URLs or slightly misspell one word to make websites appear legitimate. Check for tampering. Some scammers attempt to mislead consumers by altering legitimate business ads or placing stickers on the QR code. Keep an eye out for signs of tampering and, if discovered, have the business check that the posted QR code is genuine. Most businesses permanently install scannable QR codes in their establishments using laminate or placing it behind glass. They will often include the business’s logo in the code itself, often in the middle. If you’ve been the victim of a QR scam, report it at bbb.org/ scamtracker.
