Read, Kids, Read!
In today’s digital world, getting kids to pick up a book can be a challenge. While reading offers countless benefits, from boosting creativity to improving vocabulary, many children are spending less time reading for fun. Parents who want to encourage their kids to read more can try several effective strategies to foster a love of reading that lasts a lifetime.
Start by setting limits on screen time to help shift their attention to other activities like reading. Becoming a reading role model by showing your own love for books is another powerful way to inspire kids. Make books more accessible by taking them to the library, buying books from their favorite genres, or introducing digital reading options like e-readers. Finally, don’t worry about the content—they don’t have to read classic novels! As long as it’s age-appropriate, let them enjoy whatever books capture their interest, whether comic books or magazines.

Understanding What Hyperbaric Oxygen Can Do for Hearing Loss
DEAR DR. ROACH: I was just diagnosed with sudden sensorineural hearing loss. They gave me a steroid injection into the ear and more steroids by mouth, but they say it’s up to me whether I want to try hyperbaric oxygen.
Do you have any opinion on it? How does breathing pure oxygen at 2 atmospheres help anything? Is there some underlying theory to explain why people do this? It seems to me all this accomplishes is that it raises my blood oxygen level from 97% to 100%. How can this help anything? --
D.J.L.
ANSWER: Sudden sensorineural hearing loss is an uncommon condition. It can often be misdiagnosed, and since some people get better on their own, it is sometimes never diagnosed at all.
I suspect there isn’t one single cause in all cases as several causes have been proposed, including infections (especially viral), medications and recreational drugs, brain tumors, autoimmune diseases, head trauma, and associations with other diseases. But most cases have no clear underlying cause.
In addition to a careful exam, hearing tests and an MRI of the brain are generally recommended. Early treatment with steroids (either by injection, orally, or both) has been shown to enhance recovery.
In people with more severe hearing loss, hyperbaric oxygen has been shown to improve outcomes compared to steroids alone. It is thought that the high amount of oxygen delivered via the hyperbaric chamber may be able to deliver oxygen to areas of the cochlea that were damaged, but the mechanism of action isn’t completely clear. The benefit of hyperbaric oxygen isn’t that it gets your red blood cells more oxygenated. You can’t do better than 100%, and 97% is very close to 100%. With hyperbaric oxygen, the fluid of the blood itself carries much more oxygen, which is then dissolved in the plasma -not in the red blood cells. The oxygen in the fluid is 60 times higher with 3 atmospheres of oxygen compared to room air,which is enough to deliver oxygen to your tissues without red blood cells.
Carefully done, the risks of hyperbaric oxygen are small. The high pressure can cause pain and pressure in the ear and sinuses, which can be relieved by equalizing pressure through maneuvers that open the Eustachian tube (such as yawning or swallowing).
While I understand why physicians want to get your opinion on your treatment, it doesn’t sound like they gave you enough information to make an informed choice. In my opinion, they should have gone over the risks and benefits, then given you a clear recommendation.

“THE ALTERNATIVE TO A NURSING HOME”
HEALTH CARE SCREENINGS FOR MEN BETWEEN THE AGES OF 18 AND 39
Testicular cancer: The National Cancer Institute reports that testicular cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in men between the ages of 15 and 34. The USNLM advises against testicular self-exams, so young men should discuss testicular cancer screenings with their physicians, especially if they notice any changes in the size or shape of their testicles.

KEEPING IT LOCAL, TOGETHER.
Dear Readers,
Lately, it feels like the world is moving faster than ever — with constant talk about technology, artificial intelligence, and big changes coming our way. It’s easy to feel overwhelmed by it all.
We want to give you a break from all the noise when you read the Penny Saver. We want to continue to curate a product that you feel good about reading, where you can learn about what’s happening with your neighbors and feel proud about living in our beautiful region. e Penny Saver has been many things to many people but the one constant for the publication has been a focus on “local”. To that end, we want to expand all that we share with you to make this the best and most useful publication. So what does this mean?
e bottom line is we want to create and share more local content. at might include stories about high school athletes, highlights of local trails and other natural gems to visit, homesteading tips, reviews of new books coming out from local authors, shared local poetry, new playground reviews, and even local generational recipe sharing! ese are just a taste of what we want to build. However, our focus will not be on hard news. Politics and police blotters have never been our specialty, and we want to leave that type of reporting to the folks in the news that do that best.
ere is a reality to these ambitions. Costs continue to rise, especially for postage and revenue is unpredictable due to an ever-changing advertising landscape. We’ve worked hard since the pandemic to lower our costs and provide the same great service to you, but adding content to better serve readers requires more resources.
Here’s what we’re asking. If every home that receives the Penny Saver gave $5 we would be able to fund all of this local content and more. Our goal is to keep the Penny Saver a free publication and available to as many readers in the community as possible. What we are seeking is an investment from you in the product you love to make it even better.
It’s said in our industry that the health of a local publication is a direct reflection of the community it serves. Our commitment to local goes beyond our content. Our paper is printed right in Avon, NY by employees, managers, and owners that live here in Western New York. We hope to remain strong for many years to come and even foster the next generation of readers who share the love of “local”.
We’ve included a form below and we so appreciate your attention and support of the Penny Saver’s future.

Is crate training working for this hyper puppy?
DEAR PAW’S CORNER: My best friend adopted a puppy a few months ago. Training seems to be going well: “Freya” gets regular walks, and she heels pretty well and responds when called. However, my friend uses a kennel crate, and whenever Freya acts up (which is pretty normal for puppies, right?) she puts her into the crate. I don’t think crates should be used as punishment. What’s your advice? -- Glen in Marietta, Georgia
DEAR GLEN: While you’re correct that a crate shouldn’t be used as punishment, crate training a puppy can get complicated sometimes. Those little guys are wriggly, fast and always a bit hyper. The line between “calm and relaxed” and “zooming around your ankles” is paper-thin.
Before giving your friend advice about how to crate her dog, ask a tactful question or two. Like, “How do you know when it’s time for Freya to go into her crate?” or, “Freya is so good at going into the crate on command. How did you accomplish that?” Owners are often willing to reply in detail about their training method, especially when it’s working well.
Signs that it’s not going well are when both owner and pet seem stressed near the crate; when the dog is deeply reluctant to enter the crate, or even fearful. If the owner is yelling or yanking the dog’s leash or collar, that’s not a good sign; there’s a bigger issue than the crate happening.
Ideally, both owner and dog should be relaxed, calm and happy around the crate. That’s a huge help in crate training, because Freya will associate the crate with those emotions (and treats). You could point your friend to the AKC’s page on crate training: www.akc.org/expert-advice/ training/how-to-crate-train-your-dog-in-9-easy-steps.

Consider depth of field. Sometimesyouwillhavenocontroloverthebusybackground an interesting subject is in front of in a planned photograph. A shallow depth of field achieved with a wide aperture can blur a background and separate the subject from that background, according to Shotkit, a photography and gear authority.

THE LIVING IS IN THE PRACTICE: Laurel Nelson and the Wisdom of Lagom Landing
BY GEORGE CASSIDY PAYNE
What if the cure for our modern world’s relentless pace isn’t found in doing more, but in simply landing?
Nestled in the wooded hills of Dansville, Lagom Landing offers a gentle invitation to step away from the endless hum of modern life. Here, among Amish neighbors, rolling landscapes, and gullies carved over centuries, guests encounter a place that is quiet yet alive, shaped as much by human hands as by nature’s enduring forces.
Lagom Landing sits on the ancestral, unceded lands of the Onöndowa’ga’, the Seneca Nation, the western doorkeepers of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy. is deep history is not forgotten. “We recognize there are layers of displacement and violence that allow us to do our work here,” reflects
Laurel Nelson, Lagom’s co-founder and Executive Director. “Being present on this land means cultivating a spirit of reconciliation and collaboration with our Native siblings who continue to live in the region, learning all they have to teach us about the land itself.”
Laurel was raised in Colorado, and she was called to ministry, serving as a Presbyterian minister in Wyoming County, NY for six years. When she met Norman Richard, “Rock,” the two connected. Inspired by the creativity of Rock’s three young adult children and their friends, and by their own experiences in early adulthood as people who didn’t want the traditional college route, they envisioned a space to explore passions, learn practical skills, and reconnect with the land. In 2012, they built a house in Dansville that became the program’s first dormitory, the seed of what would become Lagom Landing.
e name “Lagom” carries deep personal and cultural resonance. Seed funding came from a farm settled by Laurel’s Swedish great-grandfather, a second-generation immigrant who grew up in an orphanage. “Lagom” (pronounced LAH-gome) is a Swedish word meaning “just the right amount” or “enough.” Now in its twel h year, Laurel reflects, “We feel like this was the name we were meant to have. ‘Lagom’ embodies much of what we want to be about.” It’s an ethos of contentment and presence, values deeply needed in a culture addicted to excess and perpetual dissatisfaction.
“We maintain hope that through community and kinship, we will always have ‘just the right amount.’
e Landing strives to embody those principles every day, and Laurel, says, Our program is designed to instill that spirit in participants, so they leave more at peace with life’s bounty than when they arrived.”
LAUREL NELSON & ROCK CASTOR
But what does it mean to land? Laurel says, “It’s landing into the present moment. It’s an ongoing, moment-to-moment practice. It’s not a destination where you check in and it’s done.”
For ten years, Rock and Laurel “landed” together with ninemonth cohorts of young adults, and in 2022, the Lagom Landing Board voted to offer shorter opportunities for adults of all ages to practice these “landing skills.”
At its core, Lagom Landing is about creating space – physical, emotional, and spiritual. Laurel says, “ e more time I spend here, the more I realize there isn’t much expected of me. Yes, tending the land takes effort, but there’s also this spirit here that feels welcoming and relaxing.”
A primary value at Lagom Landing is the grounding power of physical labor, connecting us to our bodies, to one another, and to the earth. Guests are asked to contribute 1-2 hours of labor daily, whether weeding gardens, cooking meals, clearing trails, leading workshops, making maple syrup, splitting wood, or cleaning shared spaces. is shared labor roots people in the rhythms of the land and community. Rest is equally honored. Guests are encouraged to do whatever restores their body, mind, and spirit, and Laurel says, “If you want to sleep, read, and be alone, that’s fine. But we also believe coming together helps us feel less alone. Our space fosters shared reflection and connection.”
While meals are usually prepared in each unit’s kitchen, guests are encouraged to collaborate. Every Wednesday, the

LAGOM LANDING LABRYNTH
entire community gathers for a communal dinner, an intentional pause to share stories, deepen connection, and nourish each
Laurel and Rock work with guests to cra personalized experiences, tailored to their own needs and rhythms. Immersive activities vary by season and interest: gardening, food preservation, woodworking, hiking, yoga, maple syrup production, bread baking, Enneagram workshops, and more.
Laurel speaks to how this rhythm nurtures mindfulness and healing: “I’ve caught myself, when tense, reminding myself to breathe and relax. en I get to notice the profound difference between working unconsciously and working with presence.”
Lagom Landing is a welcoming and inclusive community, and Laurel says, “Our program is designed as a brave space for personal development. We believe the gi of working with your hands is empowering for every person, no matter their background or identity.”
Laurel acknowledges a lingering tension: “ ere’s always this worry: is contemplative action enough to impact all the horrors in our world? Our economy and culture push nonstop doing, and slowing down is certainly a privilege. But without reflection, we risk our very existence.”
Ultimately, Lagom Landing’s invitation is simple: pause, breathe, and reconnect, to the land, to community, and to yourself. As Laurel reminds us, “ e living is in the practice.”

I’m a 94-year-old and I use a cane until I get a cart. I do a lot of shopping at the Family Dollar in Caledonia. The manager there is great, and so are the people. They hold the door, get a cart, or help put things in my car. You are all wonderful! Thanks.

Where’s e Beef?
Thank you, Farm Workers of America, documented and undocumented. Growing up on a farm I picked fields of stone and harvested vegetables. It’s hard work and the sun can be relentless. That work doesn’t even compare to the acres of vegetables I see as I drive to work in my air-conditioned car. How many of you have ever slaughtered and butchered an animal? It’s not a pleasant job but someone needs to do this work if you want to eat. We owe these people who provide for our sustenance our gratitude. They work grueling hours and many live in fear because they desire a better life for themselves and their families. If you think anyone can do this work think again or try it for a day, especially one of our 90-degree weather days. I guarantee that you will feel differently about these wonderful people and the price of beef may seem like a small price to pay. If you are inclined to say Grace for the food that you eat that should include a thank you as well as a request to protect those who do the bulk of the providing.
I do! Today I tried to cancel my trash and recycling service to sign on with another company who offers tote valet service. I am a senior and struggle to get the totes to the curb. It took an hour or more to “get help,” but I am still uncertain that anything was done. I tried various phone numbers only to be put on hold in eternity. I also tried to be savvy by doing it online, but to no avail. There was no option for cancelling service. I had much to do today but had to “productively” spend my time waiting. I even did a “live chat” but nothing was accomplished. If this is the ongoing future of customer service in the USA, nothing will get done and we will wither and die as a nation and we will have no need for the BBB because there will be no business! God help us all!
Killing Hawks
My Vent is about using poison baits to kill rodents. Recently a young hawk, that made its summer home in our neighborhood, was sickened and died after eating a poisoned rodent. Yes, rodents cause many problems for people and poison-based products offer what initially seems like a simple and inexpensive pest-control option. Unfortunately, they also have unintended consequences. In addition to this Vent, I also need to include a Brighter Side for my neighbors, and the DEC officer, and the Wildlife Rehabilitator who were all instrumental in trying to save this beautiful raptor.

August 6th marked the 80th anniversary of the US atomic bombing of Hiroshima, Japan, killing 140k people, followed by the bombing of Nagasaki, Japan August 9th, killing 70k people. Survivors fear growing global nuclear proliferation as a threat to the “peacebuilding frameworks so many have worked so hard to construct.” Do you agree or disagree?

Homemade hummus with truly unique taste
Hummus provides a delicious and healthy alternative to less nutritional dips. Versatile and available in various flavors, hummus can be whipped up at home for those who prefer to make their own dips. The following recipe for “Garbanzo-Carrot Hummus with Grilled Yogurt Flatbread” from James Campbell Caruso’s “España: Explore the Flavors of Spain” (Gibbs Smith) includes some Moroccan flavors that give this easy-toprepare recipe a truly unique taste.
Garbanzo-Carrot Hummus with Grilled
Yogurt Flatbread
Makes 2 cups
2 medium carrots, peeled and chopped
Salt
1 cup cooked garbanzo beans, drained
4 teaspoons chopped cilantro plus 1 teaspoon for garnish
2 tablespoons chopped red onion
21/2 teaspoons ground cumin
11/2 teaspoons ground coriander seeds
2 tablespoons lemon juice
4 teaspoons olive oil
2 teaspoons chile flakes
2 teaspoons Moroccan Spice Blend (see below)
Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 batch Yogurt Flatbread (see below)
In a medium saucepan, combine the carrots with 2 quarts water and 2 teaspoons salt. Bring the mixture to a boil then reduce the heat and simmer for 8 to 10 minutes, until the carrots are tender. Remove the pan from the heat and allow the carrots to drain and cool in a colander.
Combine carrots and remaining ingredients, except for Yogurt Flatbread, in the work bowl of a food processor and puree until smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper and garnish with the remaining cilantro. Serve with fresh, hot Yogurt Flatbread cut in wedges.
Moroccan Spice Blend
Makes about 2 tablespoons
In a small resealable glass or plastic container, combine 1 teaspoon each of: ground cumin, ground turmeric, saffron threads, ground coriander, ground cinnamon, ground smoked paprika, finely grated lemon peel.
Yogurt Flatbread
Serves 4
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon coarse salt
21/2 cups plain yogurt
Olive oil
Sift the flour, baking powder and salt into the work bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook. Add the yogurt and mix on low speed for 2 minutes. Cover the work bowl and allow the dough to rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
Preheat a gas or charcoal grill to medium. Scrape the dough from the work bowl and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll the dough into a long log and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and use a rolling pin or tortilla press to flatten it into a 1/4-inch-thick tortilla shape. Brush each “tortilla” lightly with olive oil. Grill each for about 40 seconds then turn and cook another 40 seconds.
SENIOR NEWS LINE
By Matilda Charles
Doing the right thing
How many of us are continuing to do things we feel we should, even if we don’t want to?
A neighbor bemoaned the fact that her husband had signed them up for yet another line dancing class at the senior center. “And I don’t want to go,” she said. “I’m tired of learning new dances. I’d like to just enjoy the ones I already know.”
Like many of the people at the senior center, my neighbor and her husband were generally signed up for one or more classes being offered. And to the staff’s credit, there is a wide variety of classes to choose from on a rotating basis. We have tech classes, language classes, seated yoga, drawing and painting, Cooking for One, writing your memoir ... and another line dance class. We’ve been through several and now there’s apparently one called Cowboy Hustle. And my neighbor didn’t want to learn it.
Curiosity got the better of me, and one recent day at the senior center I asked the group waiting for a class what they keep doing just because it’s the right thing to do. There was a variety of replies:
-- Attempting to walk thousands of steps per day.
-- Walking the neighbor’s dog so she doesn’t have to give it up.
-- Counting calories.
-- Sewing clothes for the grandchildren.
-- Eating vegetables every day.
-- Taking the mother-in-law out to lunch every Friday.
I saw my “no more line dancing” neighbor again. Maybe he just wants to keep both of you active and healthy, I suggested. And maybe he enjoys doing things with you, I added. She smiled and nodded, acknowledging that her husband was actually a good guy. And I knew that she’d be there learning the Cowboy Hustle alongside her good guy husband.
How about you? What do you keep doing just because it’s the right thing to do?

4 REASONS TO TRAVEL MORE
In addition to eating healthier, exercising more and getting more sleep, many people resolve to travel more at the dawn of a new year
Travel is much more than leaving one’s home. It’s about setting habits aside, escaping comfort zones and trying something different - and doing so in a different location.
In its latest World Tourism Barometer, the United Nations World Tourism Organization found that 1.184 billion tourists traveled outside their countries’ borders for at least one night in 2015. Europe, Asia, the Pacific, and the Americas all recorded around a 5 percent increase in international arrivals that year. Europe was particularly popular, perhaps hedged by a weaker euro against the American dollar and other currencies. The U.S. Travel Association says that direct spending by resident and international travelers in America averaged $2.7 billion a day.
Millennials may be leading the travel-enamored pack. The United Nations estimates that 20 percent of all international tourists, or nearly 200 million travelers, are young people, and that the millennial demographic generates more than $180 billion in annual tourism revenue. The U.N. also reports that millennials are more interested than older generations in traveling abroad as much as possible.
Infrequent travelers or those who have never traveled may not understand why heading to parts unknown is so appealing to so many people. The following are just a handful of reasons why travel is so enticing.
1. Engage the mind. Staying mentally active over the course of a lifetime promotes long-term health. Navigating unfamiliar places or reading a foreign language while sitting in an international country can engage the brain and get synapses firing. The Mayo Clinic reports that higher cognitive activity endows the brain with a greater ability to fend off brain pathologies, such as disease and dementias.
2. Connect with new people. Travel opens a person up to not only new experiences, but also new people. English poet John Donne penned the famous line, “No man is an island,” which underscores the importance of having friends and making new acquaintances. Research conducted by the University of Michigan found the act of talking with people in a friendly way can improve a person’s memory, suppress external and internal distractions, and encourage people to see things from another person’s perspective. It doesn’t hurt to broaden one’s social network, either.
3. Build confidence. Leaving one’s comfort zone can be a great way to bolster one’s self-esteem. Navigating cultural boundaries and overcoming those boundaries may be initially intimidating, but doing so can make a person more confident and more adaptable to change.
4. Develop opinions. Until a person visits a place in person, he or she only has third-party information to form opinions. Visiting a city or country for the first time can offer a more complete perspective.
Travel gives people the chance to rest, explore, meet new friends, and make lasting memories.
