HOW EVERYDAY PEOPLE CAN CUT ENERGY CONSUMPTION
Install a low-flow shower head. The U.S. Department of Energy recommends that eco-conscious consumers looking to reduce their energy consumption install lowflow shower heads with flow rates less than 2.5 gallons per minute. This is especially important for people living in homes with dated fixtures. Water fixtures installed before 1992 might have flow rates as high as 5.5 gallons per minute, which is both wasteful and costly. Test the flow of a shower head by placing a one-gallon bucket beneath a shower head running at the pressure you normally use. If the bucket fills up in less than 20 seconds, install a low-flow shower head.

Warsaw’s David Hawley Memorialized at Camp Sam Wood’s Nature Pavilion
BY CHARLOTTE CLARK
Great Falls Council of Scouting America (formerly the Boy Scouts of America), held a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Saturday, July 19th, to reveal the new David Hawley Memorial Nature Pavilion at Camp Sam Wood. e pavilion is one of several upgrades to the camp property over the past year, many of which have been funded through the generous bequest of Mr. Hawley, an Eagle Scout, Scoutmaster, camping chair, and board member since 1985 of the local Scouting America council.
Mr. Hawley, of Warsaw, N.Y., a former teacher at Pioneer Central Schools, passed away in November 2023, but he le the council with a legacy gi to help cover maintenance and project expenses at Camp Sam Wood in Pike, N.Y., which is one of three Scout camps operated by the Great Falls Council.
e Dave Hawley Memorial Pavilion was constructed over the past nine months and replaced a previous structure that was suffering the effects of time and decay. e pavilion serves as a designated space for programming, ceremonies, meals, and fellowship for campers and visitors to Camp Sam Wood.
“His memory is celebrated by many in our Scouting community, and we truly miss him being around.”
JIM MCMULLEN
Gary Decker, CEO and Scout Executive for Great Falls Council, says, “Dave’s legacy is much more than a pavilion. Dave was the Scoutmaster of Troop 4055 in Arcade for nearly three decades and was actively involved on the board of directors for Genesee Council, Iroquois Trail Council, and Western New York Scout Council before his passing. He made a huge difference in the lives of so many young people during his years as a volunteer. We are honored to name the pavilion in his memory.”
A WOOD SIGN DECORATES THE SIDE OF THE PAVILION, NAMED IN MEMORY OF SCOUTING VOLUNTEER DAVID HAWLEY.
A GROUP OF SCOUT VOLUNTEERS AND STAFF FROM GREAT FALLS COUNCIL ATTENDED THE RIBBON CUTTING CEREMONY FOR THE DAVE HAWLEY MEMORIAL PAVILION ON JULY 19

was Wood Badge trained, having also earned four “beads” (recognitions) for his additional leadership to the Wood Badge program. e Silver Beaver recognizes volunteers whose service to Scouting goes above and beyond. Wood Badge is an advanced, national leadership course for Scouting volunteers and professionals.
Jim McMullen, Chief Operating Officer for Great Falls Council, and former Scout Executive for Iroquois Trail Council, says, “I knew him for 50 wonderful years. He was one of those people you could always count on to have a positive attitude and show up to help before you even knew you needed it.”
“Dave loved everything about Scout camp and never missed a chance to help on the work weekends leading up to summer camp,” Mr. McMullen added. “His memory is celebrated by many in our Scouting community, and we truly miss him being around.”

Foster Literacy Skills by Reading to Babies
10 TIPS TO GET KIDS READING MORE
Ask your child to read a book to you.
Play a board game together.
Take your child to get their own library card. Read newspaper comic strips or comic books. Ask kids to write a short story and read it out loud. Read and prepare a recipe together. Make bedtime stories a nightly routine.
Play word games like reading tongue twisters, doing crossword searches or unscrambling words.
Take a book with you wherever you go, so you can read together at any opportunity.
Keep a book on your child’s nightstand, so they are prompted to read if they wake up early.
It’s never too early to begin reading to babies. In fact, reading to infants beginning at birth helps support their cognitive development and their bond with parents. It also increases the likelihood that parents will continue reading to children as they grow, improving language skills and concentration to prepare them for academic success.
Zero to Three, an organization focused on early childhood development, recommends these book-type guidelines for babies and toddlers:
Birth to 6 Months - chunky board books, soft fabric books and vinyl bath books
6 to 9 Months - board books with short, simple stories and colorful illustrations
9 to 18 Months - board books with simple stories, stories with rhymes and phrases that repeat, and stories with pictures of other babies and familiar objects like animals
18 to 24 Months - longer, slightly more complex stories; humorous stories; and stories featuring silly rhymes
24 to 26 Months - books with paper pages, nonfiction stories about things like animals or seasons, and books that discuss jobs
ANDDON’TFORGET… studies show that good reading habits in older adults can help improve memory, sharpen decisionmaking skills, reduce stress and protect against Alzheimer’s and dementia.

My Friend, Linda by Sylva Palmer
I never had a sister, Only brothers and my sons. Although I love them dearly ey weren’t into “girlie” fun.
A lady moved in down the street, So I took a little walk. She turned out to be a friendly sort And we began to talk and talk.
roughout the years our bond grew strong, And we discussed all sorts of things. We talked of books and TV shows, Politics, weather and our offspring.
We sometimes got in trouble, Like getting lost out in the woods; Or trying on some gaudy hats, Laughing louder than we should.
Our coffee time was sacred. Nothing stopped our daily meet. During COVID we set up outside Observing a safe six feet.
But tragically my friend got sick. She fought for four long years. is month will mark a year gone by, And I still can’t stop the tears.
She was my friend, my confidant, My sounding board, “my sister,” And as long as I live on I know I’ll always miss her.
Rest in peace, Linda

A heartfelt thank you to the parking and office staff of the Orleans County 4H Fair for their courtesy, thoughtfulness, and follow-up. Our precious granddaughter lost an item that is very special to her at a few levels within minutes of walking away from our parked car. With heavy hearts, we went to the fair office to inquire about lost and found, and our number and the item description were taken with a promise to call if it was found. As it is a high demand item, we expected nothing, but to my surprise, I got a call two days later that it had been found! A very, very special thank you again to fair staff for follow-through and honesty. These lessons are more valuable than the item itself and I thank you all for being a part of the village it takes to raise a child right! We also had a wonderful time at the fair! Great job, as always!
Libraries
I am so grateful for our libraries. I have the fondest memories of weekly trips to the library with my father. Now I can share that experience with my grandson. We attend the weekly story time at two libraries. He is able to enjoy fabulous stories, engage in craft projects, and/or dance and play with other children. Of course, libraries offer more than that. They provide internet access for those who do not have it at home. They provide employment resources for those looking for jobs. They offer a variety of fun classes and build community. Of course, you can always find a good read there. Our communities are enriched by our libraries. And thank you to the librarians who make it happen.

Examining the Common and Available Treatments for Gallstones &body mind
By Keith Roach, M.D.
Scholarships come in different forms and are usually offered to students as a gift to be put toward college or university costs. Some schools offer scholarships, while other scholarships are sponsored by outside organizations.
Q. A.
DEAR DR. ROACH: What advice do you have for the treatment of gallstones? -- N.W.
ANSWER: Gallstones are common (6% of men and 9% of women will get one over a lifetime) and are mostly composed of bile salts and cholesterol. The goal of treatment is to reduce symptoms and the risk of complications. Depending on the size and composition of a person’s gallstones, there are different therapies available.
Themostcommontreatmentforsymptomaticgallstonesissurgery. Surgery is highly effective, although there are complications such as bleeding, infection and leaks. About 10% of people will develop diarrhea after surgery, which tends to get better over weeks to months but sometimes requires treatment with a bileacid-binding drug like cholestyramine. Surgery is performed laparoscopically,which means faster healing times.
For people who are not good candidates for surgery (such as those with significant medical illnesses) or people who do not want surgery, there are other options. Medications given by mouth, such as ursodiol (Actigall), can dissolve gallstones, but this can take a long time,usually several years.People with smaller stones that are mostly made of cholesterol can be good candidates for this treatment.However,it is not 100% effective.
Another option is a tube placed into the gallbladder through the abdominal wall to drain bile, which is also sometimes done to remove stones, but I have seldom seen it done. Similarly, shockwave treatment, which is commonly used for kidney stones, is rarely used but can be a reasonable option in people with only one or two stones.

DID YOU KNOW? The demand for qualified, talented nurses figures to grow in the years to come.According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, more than half a million nurses are expected to retire by 2022. Couple that with an existing nursing shortage, and the BLS projects a need for 1.1 million registered nurses in the near future. A shortage also figures to affect Canada, where the Canadian Nurses Association recently estimated that the country would be forced to confront a nursing shortage of roughly 60,000 nurses by 2022. Various factors are contributing to the nursing shortage in both countries, including an increasingly large aging population that will require more and more nurses to meet its health care needs. In the United States, the Affordable Care Act, which was passed in 2010, increased access to health care for millions of people across the country, thereby creating a greater need for nurses and other health care professionals. In addition, a greater emphasis on preventive care in many countries across the globe figures to compel more people to visit their physicians even when they’re otherwise feeling healthy. As more people prioritize preventive care, the need for more nurses will likely increase.

SENIOR NEWS LINE
By Matilda Charles
Reasons to smile
With all the negative, questionable and just plain bad news out there lately, I’ll take good news anywhere I can find it.
And one place is the website Good News Network (www. goodnewsnetwork.org). GNN, started in 1997, currently has 21,000 good news stories from around the world. Categories range from life, to gardening, to health, business and more.
There’s a free app for the phone, and if you don’t like to see ads, you can pay a yearly fee of $15 to get rid of them. Or click the “Subscribe” button to get a free bit of good news in your email each day.
There’s even a GNN book: “And Now, The Good News: 20 Years of Inspiring News Stories,” by Geri Weis-Corbley, available on Amazon in paperback. The reviews for the book are great, saying that the short stories are real mood-lifters. I’ll be ordering it. Here’s an example: The bank that lost 66 of its employees on 9/11 have paid to put all those employees’ kids through college. How great is that?!
Here’s another one from the book: A piece of a family farm was being sold at auction and a very young family member wanted to bid and hopefully win back the property. By common agreement, all the other 200 farmers at the auction stayed silent while the young family member was bidding.He won back the family’s farm land.
The Good News Network isn’t the only bright spot. Positive News (www.positive.news) will send a good news email once a week. The categories range from society to science to economics and more. It’s British, which makes it even more interesting. If you’d rather look around on your own, do an online search for good news, positive world news or even good news for seniors. You’re sure to find something to smile about!

We started as one paper out of a garage in Avon, NY, tediously writing, pasting, and hand drawing ads for our weekly shopper. Now, we have grown to cover quite a footprint in Western New York–delivering papers from the Southern Tier’s Steuben County northwest through Orleans County with our now twelve weekly editions!
Since our founding in 1948, our beloved publication has continued to expand while remaining family-owned and operated right here in Avon.
Ali is almost 8 years old. He’s a rescue from Rochester Animal Services. His favorite season is summer because all the leaves are bloomed for him to “ghost walk” in.

How to protect your pets from extreme heat
LAKE LIFE & LIFE JACKETS
From Silver Lake to Conesus, dogs love a good splash but not all are strong swimmers. If you’re boating, consider a doggie life vest. It makes retrieval easier if they fall in, and yes, they come in adorable patterns too.

Don’t leave pets in a parked car. The temperature inside a vehicle can quickly approach dangerous levels on hot days, so pet owners should never leave their pets in parked cars, even if they leave the air conditioning on and the engine running. The HSUSnotesthatonan85-degree day, temperatures inside cars with slightly cracked windows can reach 102 degrees in as little as 10 minutes. Rather than taking pets with you on car trips, leave them at home inside a comfortablyairconditionedroom where they won’t be vulnerable to rising temperatures.

Dog Makes Odd Breathing Noise
DEAR PAW’S CORNER: Recently, I had my 9-year-old, part-poodle/Maltese dog’s teeth cleaned. The vet had to pull two teeth as well. Since this was done, “Scoobie” seems to make an odd noise as he is breathing. I feel like this is due to the tube they put down his throat as they cleaned his teeth. When I got him home, he had a hacking cough, which subsided about three days later. But the noise he makes when breathing continues. He doesn’t seem to be in pain, though. I like our vet a lot and hate to question him, so hopefully you can help me out or let me know what I could ask the vet. -- Valeeta R., Montgomery,Alabama
DEAR VALEETA: A good veterinarian will not mind extra questionsfromapetowner,soIencourageyoutocontact your vet and describe Scoobie’s breathing noise. Infact,youshouldgoaheadandbringScoobieintohave thevetcheckoutthenoiseinpersonsohecanruleoutany seriousissues.Petsthatareputundergeneralanesthesia for certain procedures (such as the tooth scaling Scoobie had) can develop complications afterward, ranging from stress reactions to major health emergencies. Don’t be worried about bothering your vet -- your dog’s health is the most important thing here.
Ask lots of questions, and insist on straightforward answersfromthevet--notanswersdesignedjusttomake youfeelbetter.Ifafterwardyoufeelthatyoudidn’treceive satisfactory answers, or if Scoobie doesn’t improve, take your dog to another vet for a second opinion.

EFFICIENCY AT WORK
Figures from the U.S. Census Bureau indicates that the average worker spent 26 minutes traveling to work, the most recent year for which the USCB has data. That marksanearly20percentincrease in average commute time since 1980. Things aren’t much better in Canada, where the National Household Survey found that the average commuter spends just over 25 minutes traveling to work each day. People who commute via public transportation can use the time they spend going to and from the office to answer emails, review schedules or even work on projects. Commuters who drive themselves to work can consider switching to public transportation or, if possible, move closer to their offices so they spend less time sitting in their vehicles, where they have no choice but to be unproductive.

THINGS TO LOOK FOR IN A NEW JOB
Satisfaction: When attempting to achieve a better work/life balance, it can be easy to overlook satisfaction at work in exchange for more time at home. But studies have shown that feeling satisfied by what you do can have a profound impact on your overall happiness. It’s possible to find an engaging career that still affords you time away from work, and such a career can ultimately pave the way toward a happier life.
