SEAFOOD PAELLA
Serves 6 to 8 people
2 Spanish onions, chopped
3 garlic cloves, chopped
1/4 cup olive oil, plus more for drizzling
2 28-ounce cans crushed tomatoes
2 bay leaves
1 pound fresh squid, sliced
1 pound cuttlefish, cut into pieces
1 pound lobster tail meat, cut into pieces
Salt, to taste
3 cups chicken stock
1 cup dry white wine
2 cups Arborio rice
2 dozen fresh mussels
2 to 3 dozen fresh clams
1 tablespoon saffron
1. In a large paella pan, sauté the onion and garlic in the olive oil over medium heat. Add the tomatoes and bay leaves, and simmer for 5 minutes. Add the squid, cuttlefish, lobster, and a pinch of salt, and cook, stirring, for a minute or so more.
2. In a saucepan, bring the chicken stock and wine to a boil. As it boils, add the rice to the fish mixture in the paella pan and blend thoroughly. Ladle three-fourths of the boiling stock over the rice and bring to a boil. Season the rice with more salt to taste. Reduce the heat to low and mix well, distributing rice evenly in the paella pan. Continue to cook the rice for 18 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3. While the rice is cooking, heat about 1 inch of water and a drizzle of olive oil in a separate sauté pan, then add the mussels. Steam until the mussels open, then transfer to the paella pan with a slotted spoon. Steam and transfer the clams in the same way. Take 1 cup of the clam water and whisk together with the saffron in a small bowl. Add to the paella pan, and simmer the mixture for 5 minutes more. Serve the paella directly from the paella pan.
HOBBIES THAT SUIT A SUMMERTIME VIBE
Photography: Summer seascapes and landscapes are awe-inspiring, making this an ideal time of year to take up photography. Novices can begin by utilizing their smartphone cameras to take snapshots of local landscapes. Once the skill of pointing and clicking has been honed, amateur photogs can graduate to more expensive and precise cameras.

2025 Avon Corn Festival
BY ROBERT MELLEN
“As the Avon Rotary Club’s largest fundraiser, all of the club’s proceeds from this event are invested directly back into supporting many great causes in the community.”
COLLIN HAYES
For 36 years the small town of Avon has generated excitement across Western New York by celebrating its heritagewithanannualCornFestival.
Offering over 145 arts and cra s vendors, live music all day long on two stages, a beer tent, a feast of food trucks and games, the 37th annual free street fair on Aug. 9 is fun for everyone. Sponsored by Avon Rotary, the festival’s main attraction is the arts and cra s vendors.
Rotarian Josh Tonra said, “We are really excited about this year’s arts and cra s vendors. Last year, we had the largest number of vendors in our history and we are on pace to break that record again, making this year’s Corn Fest one of our best ever.”
Among the many tents lining both sides of the street, it’s easy to find practically every kind of item a cra fair can offer, including jewelry, dog and cat gi s, needle arts, home decor, clothing, Christmas items, resin art, fiber art, wood carvings, honey, Mexican cra s, wine, pottery, sunflowers, and more, seemingly without end.
In addition to vendors, there is much more, starting with nonstop music on two stages. e ever-popular Skycoasters headline the lineup, scheduled to play a free three-hour concert at 7:30 p.m. Preceding them during the day will be a variety of performers with a wide-ranging repertoire, starting with Your American Jukebox Big Band at 10 a.m. followed by Public Water Supply at 1 p.m. and Bob’s Brothers Band at 3 p.m.
As if that weren’t enough, blues musician Chris Beard will complicate your choices by performing on a second stage at 3 p.m. You also can dance to the music of e GateSwingers, who play big-band classics and fresh arrangements featuring two singers. So, big bands, indie/ alt rock, soul/funk, classic rock, blues – something for practically everyone.
Even if music is not your pleasure, this year both the Avon Community eater and the Geneseo Community Players plan surprise performances onthenewlyrenovatedstageatoptheOperaBlock.
When all the walking around causes hunger pangs, the Corn Festival has solutions, primarily in the food court, packed with a wide array of food trucks, including such favorites as Philly cheese steaks, grilled cheese sandwiches, Korean fusion BBQ, loaded baked potatoes, beef on wick, and festival chairman Collin Hayes says, “Of course visit the Avon Rotary Corn Booth for our famous corn fritters and fresh sweet corn and salt potatoes from J&A Farm Market. Adults can also relax at the beer tent with cra beverages from Watershed Brewery.”
Looking for fun for the little ones? No worries. Rotarian Karen Vanderbilt says, “Our Kids Zone will keep them entertained. Let them bounce to their heart’s content in our awesome bounce house and explore in our corn crawl. Best of all, every bit of fun supports our Interact Club’s initiatives.” Interact’s purpose is “to provide opportunity for young people to develop leadership skills while discovering the power of service above self.”

Examining the Common and Available Treatments for Gallstones &body mind

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.

Trespassing
I live in [local town] on a side street. The complex behind me thinks it’s okay to use my driveway and lawn to cut through to their apartment. If that isn’t bad enough, dropping trash along the way. Then it’s all hours of the day and night. I hear their convos on phone with each other and their loud music. If you live in [town] please think of your neighbors. Hear elt ank You!
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.

HOW PARENTS CAN SIMPLIFY STUDENTS’ TRANSITION TO COLLEGE LIFE
Let kids fly solo on school day mornings. New college students have to make many adjustments upon moving into their dorms, and getting themselves out of bed each morning and off to class on time is one such change. Parents worried that their students will sleep in when mom and dad isn’t around to remind them to wake up can start letting kids fly solo on school day mornings during their final year of high school. Let kids set their alarms, prepare their own breakfasts and get out the door on time all on their own. By the time their freshman year of college arrives, kids will know how to handle their mornings by themselves.

DID YOU KNOW?
Diamond engagement rings are presented as tokens of love and affection during wedding proposals. The majority of first-time brides will receive a diamond ring, with surveys indicating only 13 percent opt for another gemstone. Researchers from Emory University determined that the average price for a diamond ring is roughly $2,500. However, grooms can spend much more. Diamonds have symbolized eternal love for centuries, perhaps since they were first discovered in India more than 2,000 years ago. The ancient Greeks actually thought diamonds were tears of the gods, while ancient Romans believed diamonds were splinters from heavenly stars.

DISTRACTIONS THAT CAN AFFECT EFFICIENCY AT WORK
The internet: The CareerBuilder survey found that employers believed the internet is the second biggest productivity killer. Professionals with a lot on their plates should do everything they can to avoid surfing the internet during the workday. The internet can be a rabbit hole, and even individuals who only intend to take a brief break from work to check the news or clear their head may soon find themselves moving from website to website while their work piles up. If it’s a mental break you need, get up and take a brief walk around the office instead of surfing the internet.
HOW BUSINESSES CAN EXPRESS APPRECIATION FOR EMPLOYEES
Cater meals when possible. Employers recognize the key seasons of the year that are crunch times for their particular businesses. Employees may have to work harder or put in longer hours during this time. Set aside one day a week to have lunch or dinner catered for the team.
