Milton Hershey dabbled in commercializing chocolate. Hershey began as a caramel maker, but experimented with covering the caramels in chocolate in 1894. Hershey would go on to develop one of the most successful brands of chocolate in the United States, which included the famous Hershey bar. In 1907, Hershey launched production of tear-drop shaped “kisses.” (The chocolates were given their unusual name because of the “smooching” noise made by the chocolate when being manufactured.) The kisses became wildly popular and made for affordable chocolate gifts on Valentine’s Day. Many other chocolate manufacturers soon began packaging their chocolates in special boxes for Valentine’s Day. Russell Stover and Whitmans are two such manufacturers who have long specialized in heart-shaped boxes or other decorative Valentine’s gifts.

Incessant Dog Barking Our neighbor’s three dogs bark incessantly every time they are outside. The dogs are outside many times during the day, sometimes before 6:30am and even as late as 9:30pm or 10:00pm. We have complained to the neighbors more than once, but they claim they cannot hear the dogs barking. They say they have tried to curb the barking, but don’t want to curb the barking completely because then the dogs would not warn them if there was danger. Other neighbors have also complained and some have mentioned that they may move. We work from home much of the time and it is really hard to concentrate when the dogs are barking incessantly. It is impossible to have a quiet afternoon on our deck or walk our dog in the back yard. We have considered putting up a fence, but that would be quite expensive and likely would not stop the barking. Short of filing a formal complaint with law enforcement, what are we to do? Parking lot repairs Someone needs to do something but who is left to go to when management won’t fix things? A relative who has lived in a elderly apartment complex for years now with huge potholes, one way in and out, and 3/4 of it is horrendous. The sidewalks have been roped off for over a year, leaving occupants with wheelchairs or mobility carts in a dangerous position, unable to navigate it. Nothing has been fixed, other than stones tossed into the holes, which helped for just a few months. I encouraged them to call the housing authority or withhold rent until repairs are made; it is NOT safe. I can only imagine the damage being done to their vehicles. Anyone have other advice? Our seniors deserve better!
Awesome Coworkers I just want to publicly acknowledge what a blessing it is to have colleagues with whom we like to spend our days. Goodness knows, we spend a lot of time at work, so thank goodness for people who help us smile and see the good in life.
Loving our new sidewalks Thank you to all the Avon Village employees who worked hard to install the new sidewalks that extend to the end of North Avenue. Each and every day I see folks utilizing them for walking their pets, strolling their children, or getting in a good walk or run. Just a small thing that has improved the quality of living in this great small town.

The History Channel * On Feb. 1, 1790, the Supreme Court of the United States meets in New York City for the first time, with Chief Justice John Jay presiding. The U.S. Supreme Court was established by Article Three of the U.S. Constitution, which took effect in March 1789. * On Feb. 4, 1861, delegates from South Carolina, Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia and Louisiana convene to establish the Confederate States of America. Within two months, Virginia, Arkansas, North Carolina and Tennessee all had joined the Confederacy. * On Feb. 5, 2003, U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell gives a speech to the United Nations justifying an invasion of Iraq that is full of fabrications. Powell later called it a “blot” on his record.

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: While walking along the local riverway this frosty weekend, I noticed at least three people whose dogs were under-equipped for the cold. One dog wore an insulated vest but no booties; the other two dogs wore no cold protection at all. Why do so many owners ignore their dogs’ comfort and safety this way? -- Harold in New Hampshire DEAR HAROLD: Unfortunately, not every dog owner knows that it’s up to them to protect their pets from cold-weather hazards. Most dogs won’t ask for a sweater vest, and I’ve yet to meet one that didn’t hate booties. I know quite a few dogs that just won’t tolerate booties. Many owners do know their dogs’ limits in the cold, however. They check the temperature before going outside and survey the sidewalk or trail they’re on for hazards like ice chunks, salt or glazing. They limit the time spent outdoors so their dog’s core temperature doesn’t drop. They monitor their dogs to make sure they’re not shivering or in pain, and that their paws aren’t getting frostbitten. And they carefully wipe and check their dogs’ paws as soon as they get back indoors. How do you, an observer, make sure that an owner is following these guidelines? Confronting owners is not advisable. You may be able to strike up a casual conversation on the path, and ask how their dog tolerates the cold weather. But don’t preach at them. In my experience, owners who take the time to walk their dogs on a leash in freezing weather do care about their health and keep an eye on them in the cold.

HOW SMALL BUSINESSES CAN MAKE THE MOST OF LOCAL MARKETS Do your research: Chances are business owners can find a number of festival or marketplace opportunities in or around their communities each month. Some of these festivals may be large scale events like annual Christmas bazaars, while others might be more toned down affairs that occur each week. Business owners can research local festivals, paying particular attention to how communities market the events and which businesses attend them. Community turnout is another significant factor to consider. Such research can help business owners determine which festivals best suit their businesses and what they’re hoping to accomplish.

to infectious mononucleosis (“mono”) at college, and she is coming to spend a week at home. What precautions do we need to take to make sure that the rest of the family remains safe? How long does the virus stay active on surfaces? Also, can she get her flu and COVID shots? -- D.G. ANSWER: Mono is classically caused by the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), but very similar symptoms can be caused by other agents, viruses and even a parasite as well. The virus is transmitted through saliva. The latency period (the time from exposure until the time of symptoms) is longer than you might expect; four to six weeks is typical. Not everybody develops symptoms. Younger children seldom develop symptoms at all when infected, yet they still receive immunity. Unfortunately, they may shed infectious virus particles for months, years or even decades. It is likely that the adults in your family are immune, since 90% of adults have had an EBV infection before. EBV is not a particularly infectious disease, so transmission to family members is uncommon. Still, you should avoid sharing anything that saliva touches, like food, cups or toothbrushes. You don’t need to take special precautions with surfaces. She can get the flu and COVID vaccines as long as she feels well and doesn’t have a fever. ***

COMMON CAUSES OF TOOTHACHES Impacted wisdom teeth: Wisdom teeth are a dental milestone that takes place between the ages of 17 and 21. Wisdom teeth actually are third molars, and are given the name because they come in at a mature age, according to the American Dental Association. If there isn’t enough space for them, wisdom teeth can cause crowding and pain. When molars do not fully erupt, the result is impacted wisdom teeth, which can be very painful.
HOW TOBACCO USE AFFECTS TEETH Smoking and using smokeless tobacco products can cause several oral health issues including tooth staining, gum disease, tooth loss, and mouth cancer. The nicotine and tar in tobacco can stain teeth in a short amount of time. People who smoke have higher levels of bacterial plaque, which causes gum disease, and smokers over 65 are twice as likely to have gum disease. Smoking decreases oxygen in the bloodstream so that infected gums don’t heal as well. In addition to lung and throat cancer, smoking also causes mouth cancer. If you use tobacco products, you should visit your dentist every three to six months, more often than non-smokers, so your hygienist can keep an eye on your gum and mouth health.
It’s one of life’s simple truths—no one gets more than one set of permanent teeth. Teeth are meant to last a lifetime, but you have to work at it; you have to want to keep them badly enough to do what needs to be done. And if that means protecting them by adopting healthy habits, eating and drinking healthy foods and beverages, brushing and flossing regularly, and having regular professional visits, then we hope you will call BATAVIA FAMILY DENTAL for an appointment at 585.343.4246. We’re located at 6 Batavia City Centre. P.S. Forty-three percent of smokers over 65 have lost all their teeth.

HEEL SPUR SYNDROME/PLANTAR FASCIITIS is a common problem among people who are active. It starts as a dull intermittent pain in the heel and progresses to a sharp persistent pain. Classically, it is worse in the morning with the first few steps, after sitting, after standing or after walking. • Plantar fasciitis often begins with irritation and tearing of the fibrous band of tissue on the bottom of the foot, which may eventually result in the formation of a heel spur. • Contributing factors: Flat pronated feet, high arched feet, poor shoe support, increased age, sudden weight increase, increased activity level, family tendency. • 95% of our patients’ symptoms are resolved with conservative treatment, avoiding surgical intervention. • We also offer surgical procedures with the best post op success rates using Endoscopic Plantar Fasciotomy techniques (minimal incisions and scarring; often back in a shoe in 1 week).

Bergen Evangelical Presbyterian Church Rallies to Restore Organ BY LORI BRUTON
I
n the heart of Bergen Evangelical Presbyterian Church lies a historic treasure, gasping for air as the soulful notes that resonated through this sacred space since 1907 faded away.
Devoted individuals like Greg McAllister, Rob Willhoft, and Alden Snell united to revive the dying heartbeat of their precious pipe organ. Under the leadership of Pastor Brandt Hammack, the congregation decided to band together to bring this rare treasure back to life. Arrangements were made, ideas were composed, and the miracle of music lives on. Alden Snell, a key player in this resurrection symphony, first encountered the Bergen church organ during his junior year at Roberts Wesleyan College in 1999. His lifelong love of music began at the tender age of three when he lined up dominoes like a keyboard, pretending to play the organ. He earned his doctorate from the Eastman School of Music. After moving to Delaware with his wife, Christin, they came back to Bergen Evangelical Presbyterian Church. However, the organ was not behaving. Alden had a vision and presented it to Session members and the congregation, proposing the choice between letting the organ die a slow death or bringing it back to life. They agreed to save this treasure and embarked on a journey of restoration. Crafted at Charles Viner & Son in Buffalo, New York, the organ was originally a theater organ. Charles Viner, Sr., born in England, moved to Westfield, Massachusetts with his family just after the Civil War. A relative of Eunice Ely brought the organ to the Bergen church, and Eunice’s father hand-pumped the bellows to make the organ play. The organ was moved from Buffalo to Bergen in 1907 – the church’s 100th-anniversary. Renovations took place in the 1960s and again in the late 1980s, with dedicated church members including Fred Ely volunteering to physically redo the leathers and felts that held the keys together. Recently, the rallying cry for the organ’s restoration again echoed through the pews, leading to a pledge campaign and various fundraisers. The mechanical marvel, powered only by electricity for the blower, Alden playing organ required an overhaul. The pipes needed cleaning, keyboards were warped, and the air system begged for rejuvenation. Renovation involved organ pipe voicing, woodworkers, and designers crafting a custom wind system.
music out of the organ, saying, “The music you can get out of the organ is glorious to honor and praise the Lord.” Bergen Evangelical Presbyterian hosts a rededication of the historic pipe organ as well as a concert series to offer the community a nostalgic musical experience with performances by Eastman School of Music students, as well as Alden himself, Roberts Wesleyan Brass Quintet, Jaclyn Breeze (flute), and George Collichio (guitar). Alden will play pieces performed in 1907, as well as pieces from 1982 and 1990. Jaclyn Breeze, who started piano at 4 years old and was taught by her mom, will play in the Bergen concert series with a hymn sing at the end. Her previous concert series focused on flute music of the last 100 years, and this Spring she is doing another series with pieces that involve a solo flute, imitating other things such as trains, fish, and butterflies. George Collichio’s music interest was sparked at 6 years old by his guitar playing parents. Collichio founded Collichio School of Music in Rochester, and is now a National Recording Artist, Performer, Music Educator, and private guitar instructor. As the sounds of music reverberate through the revitalized pipes, Bergen Evangelical Cal Parsons and Fred Ely Presbyterian Church stands as a in front of organ testament to the power of unity, passion, and the enduring resonance of history and melody. The rededication is not just a celebration of a restored organ; it’s a celebration of a community that refused to let its musical legacy fade away. The notes played on this organ tell a story of perseverance, dedication, and the unwavering belief that, with a united voice, even the faintest melody can be brought back to life. For more information www.epcbergen.org/events24.
Renovation was complete in November 2023. History and music came together as people raised their voices in praise and worship, standing united for each other and their community. The music ministry includes singing hymns and other instruments. In the early days, Bev Rogers and Eunice Ely sang in the choir. Gordon and Delores Seward, loyal church members, brought joy to everyone around them through their love of music and dancing. Delores remembers Leone Simcox sliding along the bench, playing, and getting so much

I tuck my weekly coupons inside, and write my list on the back of the envelope, which is usually blank.” -- C.G. in Oregon To keep track of takeout menus, use a three-prong notebook with an assortment of sheet protectors.

Aging Well With Exercise You can get better and stronger at any age. Research shows that an appropriate exercise program can improve your muscle strength and flexibility as you age. Progressive resistance training, where muscles are exercised against resistance that gets more difficult as strength improves, has been shown to help prevent frailty. Your bones want you to exercise. Osteoporosis, or weak bones, affects more than half of Americans over the age of 54. Exercises that keep you on your feet, like walking, jogging or dancing, and exercises using resistance such as weight lifting, can improve bone strength or reduce bone loss.

GROWTH OF THE SOLAR EMPLOYMENT SECTOR According to the Solar Foundation’s National Solar Jobs Census 2016, there were 260,077 solar workers working at 8,601 solar companies in the United States in 2016. The census also found that the five states with the most solar jobs in 2016 were California, Massachusetts, Texas, Nevada, and Florida. Twenty-eight percent of state solar workers in 2016 were females, making women the largest demographic in the solar industry. Latinos and Hispanics (17.2 percent), Asians or Pacific Islanders (9.1 percent), and veterans of the U.S. Armed Forces (9 percent) rounded out the top four demographics employed by the solar industry. Of the 260,077 solar industry jobs in 2016, more than 137,000 were classified as installation jobs that paid a median wage of $26 per hour. With roughly 38,000 jobs in 2016, solar manufacturing was the next biggest employer of workers in the solar industry.

AVOID FINANCIAL PERIL AFTER A JOB LOSS Losing a job can be devastating. Even in a strong market, companies can go out of business or reduce payroll. Being let go can initially tug at one’s pride, and after a layoff sets in, it may cause individuals to start worrying for their financial futures. While many people can survive and may even enjoy a few weeks of rest and relaxation after a job loss, financial concerns may surface soon thereafter. A 2017 GOBankingRates survey found that more than half of American adults have less than $1,000 in their savings accounts. Financial planners typically advise people to have at least three month’s worth of earnings socked away for emergency situations, like a medical issue or a job loss. Even though the survey also found more than a quarter (27 percent) of respondents have $10,000 or more saved, that might not be enough to survive a job loss for six months or more. A job loss can come as a shock. However, with level-headedness and smart planning, many people can avoid dire financial situations in the wake of a layoff.
