Online POLL

January 20, 2025 commemorates the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr, who “had a dream” that boys and girls could school together, regardless of race, religion, creed, or color, judged only “by the content of their character” and not “the color of their skin.” 61 years later, where do you think we stand as a nation?

- We have achieved Dr. King’s vision

- We have made signiﬁcant progress, but there’s still work to be done

- We have made little to no progress toward this vision

- We are now moving away from Dr. King’s dream

THE RESILIENT LEGACY OF the Morgan Manning House

BY SUZIE WELLS

In the heart of Brockport stands the Morgan Manning House at 151 Main Street, a cherished emblem of local heritage and community resilience. Built in 1854 by John Ostrom and later purchased by Dayton Samuel Morgan, a pioneering industrialist, the stately Italianate home has long been a symbol of Brockport’s rich history (as well as one of the region’s architectural treasures of the Victorian era).

Despite suffering devastating fire damage in 1964 and again last week, the house’s story exemplifies not only historical significance but also the unwavering spirit of the Brockport community.

e house became central to Brockport’s industrial narrative when Morgan, a key ﬁgure in mechanized agriculture, moved in during the late 1860s. According to History of Rochester and Monroe County, Morgan’s partnership at Globe Iron Works played a pivotal role in producing some of the earliest mechanized reapers, shaping the era’s agricultural landscape.

According to the Western Monroe Historical Society, the Morgan family remodeled many of the rooms on the main ﬂoor of the house in the late Victorian style, embellishing rooms with oak and cherry paneling and trim as well as stained glass windows.

Sara Morgan Manning, third of seven children born to Dayton and Susan Morgan, later inherited the home and became its most enduring steward, embodying a deep respect for tradition and community.

Following the early death of her husband, Frederick Manning, Sara returned to the home with her son, Arnold, who tragically passed away at 21. Despite personal losses, Sara remained committed to preserving the home and its heritage. Her enduring wish was that the house “would stand forever as a monument to the ﬁne old traditions that are so important to our heritage.”

A er a 1964 ﬁre that severely damaged the home and killed Sara at age 96, Brockport residents rallied to restore the landmark. e formation of the Western Monroe Historical Society marked a turning point, as volunteers and historians meticulously worked to return the house to its Victorian grandeur. Furnished to reﬂect the lifestyle of a wealthy canal town resident from the late 19th to early 20th century, the house became a living museum showcasing Brockport’s past.

Dedicated to educating diverse audiences on the life and times of the Morgan family in the late 19th century, the historical society aims to preserve and interpret the family legacy and time period through tours, educational programs, community events, school partnerships, and scholarship. By 1968, the Society received its oﬃcial charter with the NYS Education Department Board of Regents, and in 1991, the house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. e National Parks Service has also designated it a Point of Interest on the Erie Canal National Heritage Corridor.

Over the years, the Morgan Manning House has hosted educational tours, community events, and annual celebrations such as the Outdoor Summer Pops Concert, Old-Fashioned Fourth of July, the Winter Market, Candlelight Christmas and Santa photos, Shakespeare on the Lawn, and a wide array of author and historian talks, underscoring the house’s role as a cultural hub.

Tragedy struck once again on January 14, 2025, when a four-alarm fire engulfed the house. Yet, the response from Brockport residents highlighted a profound collective resolve. Social media posts captured the community’s determination. One resident reflected, “Even in darkness, Brockport shines,” commending the “goodness and heroism” of those who supported firefighters and emergency personnel during the crisis.

e ﬁre has rekindled eﬀorts to safeguard Brockport’s historical narrative for future generations. Many residents recall childhood tours through the Morgan Manning House, where they learned invaluable lessons about local history and heritage. is tragedy has galvanized a renewed commitment to restoring the house, ensuring it remains a beacon of Brockport’s legacy.

e future of the Morgan Manning House looks hopeful. e Western Monroe Historical Society and Brockport’s residents have already begun rallying support to rebuild and restore this historic site. eir dedication ensures that the house will continue to educate and inspire, standing as a testament to the resilience and unity that deﬁnes Brockport.

As Sara Morgan Manning wished, her home remains a monument—not just to history, but to a community’s enduring strength and pride in its heritage.

THINGS THAT PILE UP

PAW’S CORNER

By Sam Marzotta

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I adopted a puppy about two months ago. “Spencer” seemed to housetrain just ﬁne, but for the last couple of weeks, he has been pooping on the bathroom rug. It’s not diarrhea, just regular healthy poos. He does it between walks – even though he poops as normal during walks! What is going on?

– John D. in Burlington, Vermont

DEAR JOHN: Even though Spencer seems healthy, take him to the vet to rule out any underlying health issues. In the days prior to the vet appointment, get out a notepad and write down his behaviors, what time he poops each day, if he’s doing a lot of barking –anything. Bring that to the appointment; it might give the vet additional insight.

Puppies go through phases during their growth, and it’s not too unusual to see some regression in housetraining periodically. For example, when they’re teething, or as they enter their “teen” phase at around 8 months or so, you may see a change in behavior patterns or “forgetting” commands you know they’ve learned. If there is no health issue to worry about, focus on training. Go back to basics and teach him how to alert you when he needs to go outside. Work on his basic commands. Observe him closely when you’re at home to see whether his behavior is changing.

You may need to adjust your schedule as well. If he’s an especially young puppy, his body is changing rapidly and he may need more potty breaks than the training guide says. Be prepared to make those adjustments as you patiently retrain him. And don’t worry, he will fully housetrain, as long as you remain diligent.

Send your tips, comments or questions to ask@pawscorner.com.

Timothy A. Pitcher

January 7, 2025

It is with great sadness that we announce the untimely passing of Timothy Aaron Pitcher, 57, of Batavia, NY, in the early morning on Tuesday, January 7, 2025, surrounded by his family at Rochester General Hospital, due to complications from battling cancer. He was born May 10, 1967 in Buﬀalo, NY to William and Cheryl (Kingsley) Pitcher, Jr. He was preceded in death by his brother, Adam.

Tim grew up in Batavia and at an early age became enamored with the drums, attempting to emulate Neil Peart from the Canadian band RUSH. Next, he incessantly practiced playing the guitar, and eventually was able to master any instrument he touched. He graduated from Batavia High School and attended Hiram College in Ohio for three semesters, studying music with an emphasis on classical guitar. Upon returning to Batavia, he worked odd jobs before landing a few painting gigs, and eventually ran his own business, Pitcher Perfect Painting. Painting for his vocation, playing music for his avocation, and raising his family richly ﬁlled his life.

Timmy P’s passion for putting “music in the air” grew as he entertained countless audiences in numerous bands at a multitude of venues throughout Western New York. Tim, able to expertly cover music playing several instruments, preferred to jam and create original music extemporaneously. Very sadly, Tim’s active and fulﬁlling life was cut short as he heroically battled the dreaded disease, cancer.

He is survived by his loving daughter, Shanelle (James) of Amherst, NY; son, Clayton (Ani) of New York City, NY; beloved grandchild, Nolan; sister, Molly; nieces, Tayler, Mica, and Maddie; nephews, Addison and Trey; and grandniece, Lillian.

Timothy was a dedicated son, brother, father, grandfather, uncle, granduncle, faithful friend, exceptionally talented musician, and beneﬁcent bandmate who will be dearly missed.

“Music in the Air,” A Celebration of Life for Timothy, will be held Sunday, January 26, 2025 from 2:00-6:00pm at the Alexander Fire Dept. Rec Hall located at 10708 Alexander Road, Attica, NY 14011.

Flowers are gratefully declined, and we invite you to honor his passion for music through a donation in his name to the Sportsmen’s Americana Music Foundation at: 330 Amherst Street, Buﬀalo, NY 14207 www.sportsmensamf.org or in his name to the Wilmot Cancer Institute at 262 Bank Street, Batavia, NY 14020. Arrangements completed by Gilmartin Funeral Home, 329-333 West Main Street, Batavia, NY 14020.

BRIGHTER

Thank you

Thank you to whomever turned in my wallet at the Avon Tops. It was the week before Christmas too, no less. Thank you.

Please Drive Safely and Smartly!

KUDOS

THANK YOU to our local town/village of Avon for keeping our roads cleared so far this winter. They are always out early, late, and inbetween, helping to make sure we get to our destinations safely. We appreciate you!

Please be sure that your headlights are on whenever your wipers are. It is astounding how many vehicles do not follow this LAW. It is required of drivers to use their headlights when visibility is low, at dawn and dusk, and when it's raining, snowing, or sleeting. It's not just to help you see where you're going - it's to help others see YOU/your vehicle. Pleasedrive safely and smartly!

Electric Shopping Carts

I felt bad for this elderly lady (80+). She was dropped off at the door. She could hardly walk or stand and had an oxygen tank. She had to wait, quite a while, until an electric handicap cart was brought in from outside by an employee. Everyone of the handicap carts were being used by other people. Most walked ok from their vehicles that were parked far out in the lot. Yes, some do require the use of a handicap cart but it amazes me that they feel more entitled to one than to someone who really does need one.

WHEN IS JAW SURGERY NECESSARY?

Jaw surgery, also called corrective jaw surgery and orthognathic surgery, is recommended to fix irregularities in the jawbone and to functionally align the jaw and teeth, which may also improve facial appearance. Jaw surgery is usually recommended when these issues can’t be fixed by traditional orthodontics alone. Corrective jaw surgery is most often used in teens and young adults once they’ve stopped growing, usually between ages 14 to 16 for girls and 17 to 21 for boys. Jaw surgery can help make biting and chewing easier, fix speech and swallowing problems, minimize wear on teeth, correct bite issues and facial imbalances, relieve pain from TMJ disorder and other jaw issues. It may also alleviate sleep apnea.

As part of their healthcare team, we encourage all of our patients to make the commitment to do what it

takes to keep their oral health in the best of shape. Questions about your oral health? Turn to our dental professionals for comprehensive dental care, from an assessment of your existing oral condition, to restorations, cosmetic dentistry, and suggestions for at home dental-care regimens. Whatever dental care you need, you’ll ﬁnd it at BATAVIA FAMILY DENTAL, 6 Batavia City Centre, where all dental problems are dealt with efﬁciently, effectively, and compassionately. Hours by appointment; please call 585.343.4246

P.S. Jaw surgery is typically performed by an oral maxillofacial surgeon, often in collaboration with an orthodontist.

TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH

By Keith Roach, M.D.

Probiotics May Help Restore Good Bacteria in the Gut

DEAR DR. ROACH: You recently wrote that you do not recommend probiotics in healthy people. I am a 78-year-old male who, three years ago, underwent an esophagectomy to remove my esophagus and part of my stomach because of cancer. I was put on 30 mg of pantoprazole, which was later increased to 40 mg. I’ve read that prolonged use of this medicine isn’t recommended. My understanding is that this medicine is used to reduce the chance of acid reﬂux. I have read that it also kills bacteria (both bad and good) in the stomach. I asked my primary care physician about this and whether she was OK with me starting probiotics to help restore the good bacteria. -- E.M.

ANSWER: Proton-pump inhibitors like pantoprazole are often used in people after surgical treatment for esophageal cancer. They reduce acid reflux and consequently prevent a stricture where the remainder of the esophagus meets the remainder of your stomach. While it is true that proton-pump inhibitors do have the potential for side effects with long-term use, there are times when the benefits outweigh the risks. Many esophageal cancer experts feel that the benefits outweigh the risks in esophageal survivors like you.

Long-term acid suppression does lead to changes in the gut bacteria, called the microbiome. Using probiotics to improve the quality of the microbiome has been studied, and preliminary studies showed that taking probiotics daily can get more healthy bacteria in the gut. What isn’t clear is whether this translates to better outcomes for the patient or whether any of the long-term adverse effects of proton-pump-inhibitor therapy will be reduced. It makes sense that it might help, but it is unproven as yet.

There is the potential for harm in probiotic treatment, but it’s not common. A very few cases of infection have been shown to be transmitted by probiotics. The main harm is mostly ﬁnancial, since some probiotics are expensive.

DEAR DR. ROACH: I am 81 years old and in pretty good health. I often have a hard time getting to sleep and staying asleep. A couple of months ago, I was dealing with a sore lower back from overdoing yard work, so I took two ibuprofen tablets before going to bed for several nights in a row. What I noticed is that I was able to get to sleep quicker.

I have continued to take ibuprofen as a sleep aid, and it continues to help me get to sleep. But I am wondering if there might be any medical issue that could arise from the continued daily use of ibuprofen. --

J.T.N.

ANSWER: Most people don’t find that ibuprofen helps or hurts their sleep, so I don’t recommend it as a sleep aid in general. In fact, some people find that ibuprofen can be disruptive to their sleep. Others, however, find that it makes them sleepy.

In any case, the risk of two ibuprofen tablets at night, or even every day, is small. A person with a history of ulcer disease or abnormal bleeding shouldn’t take ibuprofen daily without discussing it with their doctor.

Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual questions, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible. Email questions to ToYourGoodHealth@med.cornell.edu. © 2025 North America Synd., Inc. All Rights Reserved

Here’s A Tip

BYLINE: By JoAnn Derson

* Lunchbox tip: Assemble your sandwich the night before (without veggies). Wrap in waxed paper and freeze. Add veggies and a condiment packet in a separate bag. Your sandwich will thaw by lunchtime and will stay cold!

* “Plant banana skins in your garden, just below the surface. ey rot quickly and provide nutrients for growing plants.”

-- A.R. in Ohio

* “Always keep two needles threaded, one with black and one with white. When you have a rip, a button comes oﬀ or a hem comes out of your clothes, and you are in a hurry, you can use one of these for a quick repair.” -- J.R. in Virginia

Hocus Focus

BY HENRY BOLTINOFF

KORNER

TIPS FOR REALIZING GOALS IN THE YEAR AHEAD

Emphasize time management. Hectic schedules can quickly derail resolutions. Many people want to eat healthier and exercise more but ﬁnd their time is stretched pretty thin, which can make it difﬁcult to get to the gym or prepare healthy meals at home. Findingwaystomanagetimemore effectively can make it easier to stay committed to New Year’s resolutions. Right down your daily schedule and look for ways to free up time. If you routinely take an hour for lunch each day, use that time to exercise and eat at your desk when you return from your walk, workout or jog. Try to wake up 30 to 60 minutes earlier each morning to exercise, and make use of time before bed by preparing a healthy lunch for the following day.
