T SINCE 1936, RE AGLE INSURANCE HAS BEEN PROVIDING TOPNOTCH INSURANCE SALES AND SERVICE TO CLIENTS IN E ASTON AND ITS SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES.
he year was 1936. President Franklin D. Roosevelt was in The White House, just elected for his second term. The Great Depression still was impacting our country. Gas was 10 cents a gallon, a loaf of bread was 8 cents, and you could rent a house for $24.00 a month. One gentleman, Loring M. Reagle, decided to start an insurance agency focused on customer service in a small one-room location right here in the Lehigh Valley. Over the next 83 years, it grew into a prosperous company with a full staff. That company is Reagle Insurance. Now on its third generation under President James Reagle, Reagle Insurance has customers in Easton and its surrounding communities, including Forks Township, Palmer Township, Bethlehem Township, Allentown, Macungie, and the Poconos. James graduated from Easton Area High School in 1981. He graduated from Wilkes College (now University) in 1986 with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration. Soon after, James started his career with the family business. In 1994, he became a certified insurance counselor. Before James came his father Martin F. Reagle. According to James, Reagle Insurance is very much a family business. You will find his brother Robert M. Reagle, his sister-in-law Laurie A. Reagle, and his nephew Michael Reagle. “All of our staff members play an important role to the company. I would also

WHERE DID THE
HeartShaped Box ORIGINATE?
BY SHANNON AUSTIN
A
lthough Valentine’s Day can be traced back to Roman times, the tradition—or some would argue, requirement—of giving chocolate to a loved one on this holiday is a much more recent idea. Up until the early 1800s, chocolate was primarily consumed as a drink: think hot chocolate. However, at this time Europeans were starting to get over chocolate due to its greasiness, until a Dutch chemist discovered how to remove cocoa butter from roasted cocoa beans, thus removing the undesirable consistency. With all this excess cocoa butter now available, British chocolatier Richard Cadbury learned how to perfect his recipe for what was then called “eating chocolate,” shortly after taking over the family business in 1861. He added a small amount of clarified cocoa
butter back into the cocoa solids along with sugar and a few other ingredients. This made the chocolate moldable, meltable, and, since it could easily be mass produced, affordable. It turns out that timing is everything. Within the past few decades, Valentine’s Day had become a more commercialized holiday punctuated with gift-giving and card exchanging, so Richard Cadbury made the brilliant decision in 1868 to sell his new chocolates in heart-shaped boxes: beautifully decorated ones that people could hold on to long after the chocolate was gone to store love letters or other momentos. Since he didn’t patent the idea, we now have heart-shaped boxes of Russel Stover chocolates, Godiva chocolates, and even M&Ms, providing a plethora of options of the ultimate go-to gift for your chocolate-loving lover.

Pano’s Omelette at Billy’s Downtown Diner BY LENORA DANNELKE
O
mnivorous omelette fans questing for an ideal form of this classic dish—one that’s both warmly comforting and sufficiently hearty to help power through a busy day—need to tuck into the lead item on the list of Signature Breakfasts at Billy’s Diner. Initially unveiled at the flagship Bethlehem eatery 18 years ago, Pano’s Omelette has achieved cult-level status at all three locales, each of which sells some 300 each week.
After opening in 2000, owner Billy Kounoupis was experimenting with omelette variations when a certain combination was a hit with his eldest son, Pano—short for Panayioti. “He’d ask, ‘Daddy, can I have some of your omelette?’ So I finally said, ‘No, it’s not my omelette, it’s your omelette,’” explains Kounoupis, who notes that naming dishes for family members, friends, and customers contributes to the community feel of the restaurants. While the menu showcases a playful assortment of sweet and savory delights, Pano’s Omelette underscores the elegance of simplicity. “We’re using just basic ingredients, but how they’re put together and layered makes that omelette look so great,” Kounoupis says. And it doesn’t fall short in taste, either: Diced smoked ham
and shredded cheddar are melted evenly throughout the rolled omelette—think of it as three-egg gift-wrapping—drizzled of sour cream and topped with crispy bacon bits, chopped scallions, and a gentle scattering of more cheddar shreds. Because of the way the elements are blended, flavors carry all the way through each bite. Buttered Texas toast contributes another dimension of crunch, and the standard choice of sides includes freshly prepared home fries— requesting “OPA the Papas” will add onions, peppers, and American cheese—or field greens with house-made Goddess dressing. However, other options available on request encompass Southern-style grits—a customer enlightened Kounoupis on the technique for achieving authentic creamy texture— oatmeal, or even a piece of fruit. The omelette may also be customized to an egg white-only version by telling the server to “Make It Healthy.”
AND A NEW LOCATION OPENING IN 2020!
Kounoupis suggests kicking off with a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice before selecting from an array of plain and fancy coffee styles. To appreciate the difference made by premise-filtered water and the house blend of beans—ground fresh for each pot—try a sip of traditional “Coffee” before adding sweetener or dairy. You might discover that black coffee really is your cup of tea.

hen “married with children,” the lines often blur together between time spent as a couple and time as a family. Occasional date nights made possible by babysitters keep the spark alive, yet sometimes the most outstanding moments lived as a family are the ones that fuel the fire. This treasured time having children at home only lasts so long until the kids grow up and begin pursuing their own romantic interests. With only so many years between now and then, make each moment special and meaningful with Valentine’s Day date ideas the whole family can enjoy.
1
Awaken your inner artist.
3
Hit the slopes.
Here are 10 great date ideas for Valentine’s Day with kids.
Go as a family to Crayola Experience, the AR Workshop, a pottery studio, painting studio, or any of the wildly creative classes and workshops open to families in the Lehigh Valley. Take your family out to dinner at a special place you can all enjoy together. Try new foods and opt for a little on the fancier side to create a special experience your kids will remember for a lifetime.
2
Broaden your taste buds.
February is the perfect time of year to shred through some fresh powder. Take your family to one of the Lehigh Valley’s best ski slopes or snow tubing adventures where everyone in the family can enjoy a little exercise and some great memories.

5. Enjoy a little culture.
4
Go ice skating as a family.
Few winter activities measure up to ice skating in terms of fun and active family time. The entire experience is worthwhile and even better with kids in tow. (Be prepared to feel a little sentimental when your slow song partner has a new hand to hold!)
Check out some of the local museums with your family to broaden horizons and expand knowledge. Consider the Da Vinci Science Center for kids of all ages, the Allentown Art Museum for creatives, and the Mack Trucks Historical Museum and America on Wheels Museum for vehicle fans. (Bonus: Check out Cars, Corks & Chocolate at America on Wheels Museum on Sunday, February 16!)
6. Cheer for the home team!
The Lehigh Valley Phantoms take on the Bridgeport Sound Tigers on Valentine’s Day this year and there are plenty of other home games, too. Take the whole family to cheer for our hometown hockey team.
7. Inspire your kids' imagination.
At Imagi Nation in Allentown, enjoy watching your little ones in the different stations at this fun center’s bank, diner, grocery store, fire and police station, pit challenge, and more. Be sure to stay for Scoopendorf’s Flavor Lab (peanut free) where guests can make their own ice cream flavors or enjoy taste testing.

Entertain your kids the old fashioned way— without screens! Head over to a family fun center like The Mill in Bethlehem, featuring laser tag and 18-hole mini golf indoors, or one of the video arcades like the VR Café, GameChangerWorld PA, or even Chuck E. Cheese for the little ones.

10. Get your hearts pumping.
Take the family to an indoor trampoline park like Sky Zone or Freefall Trampoline Park where everyone can act like kids again. Enjoy the exercise, work up an appetite, and then head out for lunch or dinner. Of course, couples with children still need time together as much as they also love spending time with their families. Luckily, Valentine’s Day weekend offers multiple days where you can choose one for a family day and one for a date night for just the two of you.

THE OLDEST VALENTINE Pair a language of romance with romantic words and the stage is set for the oldest valentine on record. It’s not surprising that the earliest valentine was penned in French. While imprisoned in the Tower of London in 1415 during the battle of Agincourt, Charles, Duke of Orleans wrote a love poem to his wife Bonne of Armagnac. Although his wife sadly passed away before receiving his missile, he is credited for creating the first Valentine’s Day love poem. To this day, Charles, Duke of Orleans’ poem lives on in the British Library in London. The translation of his poem goes like this:
MY VERY GENTLE VALENTINE, SINCE FOR ME YOU WERE BORN TOO SOON, AND I FOR YOU WAS BORN TOO LATE. GOD FORGIVES HIM WHO HAS ESTRANGED ME FROM YOU FOR THE WHOLE YEAR. I AM ALREADY SICK OF LOVE, MY VERY GENTLE VALENTINE.

VARICOSE VEINS BY FRED JERANT
V
aricose veins: they’re unsightly, sure—but do they constitute a serious condition? Where do they come from? Can you get rid of them? Dr. Hei Jin Chung, MD, FACS, RVT, is a vascular surgeon and vein specialist in Phillipsburg, New Jersey who answered these questions—and many others—about this common condition. Lehigh Valley Marketplace: Dr. Chung, we’ve all heard of “varicose veins.” What are they, exactly? Hei Jin Chung: Our veins have one-way valves for proper blood flow. But when those valves don’t work right, blood can leak back through them. That blood can pool in your legs, putting more pressure on the valves and on the veins. When those veins swell, they create pain or tenderness. Although the veins are very small, they dilate enough that we can see them through the skin.

LVM: Do varicose veins display any other symptoms besides swelling? HJC: Some patients experience pain, tenderness, or throbbing; others are painfree. The symptoms can be worse near the end of the day, especially if you’ve been standing all day.

LVM: Are there any particular causes of varicose veins? HJC: The tendency to develop them is mostly hereditary. There’s no guarantee of this, but if one or another of your parents have varicose veins, you’ll probably have some degree of it. That is, you can have a very mild case, or one that’s very serious. They’re also often part of the aging process. LVM: So there’s a range of severity. What can you tell us about that? HJC: Varicose veins fall into six general categories, or classes.

The internal pressure can lead to further skin damage, even skin infection. At class 5, patients will have a healed venous ulcer, and class 6 indicates an active ulcer. LVM: Are there any general groups of people who might be more prone to varicose veins? HJC: Yes, there are. Caucasians are more likely to develop them, followed by Hispanics and Asians.

Women experience them more than men, often because of the hormonal changes associated with pregnancy. Varicose veins often emerge around the age of 40, and are more likely as you grow older. In fact, about two-thirds of the female population will experience some degree of varicose veins. LVM: Can varicose veins lead to any other health hazards? HJC: Yes, they can. The biggest problem we see is at class 4 and 5, which involves skin ulcers. These can easily lead to various skin infections. In addition, clots have a slightly better chance of forming in the smaller veins, and superficial veins can be prone to phlebitis [inflammation], which can be painful. Because the walls of varicose veins are weak, they sometimes rupture and cause significant bleeding. A little nick in your skin can be enough to cause it, and you might need to visit the ER. LVM: What can people do to avoid varicose veins, or at least lessen the severity?

HJC: Weight control is a big factor. So is exercise, like walking. Strong calf muscles will help push blood in the right direction.
You can consider wearing some type of compression stockings. If you’re looking for only a little support, you can get some from a medical supply store or online without a prescription. And many of them have fashionable looks, ranging from sporty to dressy. If you need more compression, you’ll need a prescription to get those stockings. Your primary care physician can evaluate your needs.

LVM: What are the options for treating varicose veins? HJC: For varicose veins that fall into classes 1 through 3, it can be as simple as wearing some type of compression stockings.

LVM: What sorts of treatments are there? HJC: There are several. One is phlebectomy, which is the removal of veins that are close to the skin. In sclerotherapy, a salt solution injected into the vein causes it to collapse and eventually turn to scar tissue. We can also use ablation to close off the veins. The process uses a probe that emits radio waves or a laser inside the vein. In some cases, we can use Trivex [transilluminated powered phlebectomy]; a rotating blade cuts the vein, which is then removed by suction. Of course, the proper treatment depends on the size and location of the veins, and a vein specialist is the best person to determine that.

AIN’T NOTHIN’ BUT A
Groundhog BY SHANNON AUSTIN
G
roundhog Day is known as February 2: the day an unassuming groundhog has the ability to forecast the next six weeks of weather (and, to many, a classic movie from the ‘90s starring Bill Murray). Although the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club calls it “a day to take everything a little less seriously,” there is surprisingly some logic behind how this annual event started. As February 2 falls halfway between the winter solstice and spring equinox, many ancient cultures held celebrations at this time to mark the beginning of spring. The Celts celebrated with a pagan festival known as Imbolc on February 1 and 2. According to Gaelic legend, February 1 is the day that Cailleach, the goddess of winter, would set out to gather firewood for the rest of the season. If it was a sunny day, she would easily be able to complete her task. If the weather was unfavorable, she wouldn't be able to leave her house and the winter would soon end.

Retirement is for living. FUN FACTS • Groundhogs are the largest animal in the squirrel family, typically weighing 13 pounds and growing up to 24 inches with a 9.75-inch tail. • Although groundhogs live up to 10 years in captivity, legend has it that Punxsutawney Phil is 133 years old thanks to a magical potion he drinks every summer. • Punxsutawney further celebrates its claim to fame with 32 6-foot tall fiberglass statues of groundhogs throughout the town known as “The Phantastic Phils.” Created by artists from all over the state, each is sponsored by a different business or organization and has a unique theme and name.
Imbolc soon evolved into a celebration called Candlemas as Christianity expanded. In some parts of Europe, they believed a sunny Candlemas meant 40 more days of winter. Germany evolved this idea, claiming the day as sunny only if hedgehogs and other small animals saw their shadow. When Germans settled Pennsylvania in the 18th and 19th centuries, they carried on this tradition, but chose the native equivalent—the groundhog— as the star subject. The first official Groundhog Day event took place on February 2, 1887 in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, when local newspaper editor Clymer Freas boldly claimed that Punxsutawney Phil was the official weather-predicting groundhog of America. Today the tradition continues as thousands of spectators pour into Gobbler’s Knob every year to see if Phil will see his shadow. Despite the fact he is reportedly correct in his forecast only 39% percent of the time, we in Pennsylvania and the 30,000 people that travel to Punxsutawney every year will hold on to any far-fetched hope that spring is showing up early.
It took decades of long hours and hard work, but you’re finally ready to quit the old nine-tofive—which, let’s be honest, was never quite so regular. Early morning flights, late night phone calls, weekends at the office, a never-ending trickle of things that needed your immediate attention. Time long gone, but here you are, with nothing but time and the freedom to spend it as you wish. Doubtless you have questions. How do you guarantee income in retirement?

Add the onion, celery, leek, and fennel and sweat over medium heat for 10 to 12 minutes until the onions become translucent. Next add white wine and reduce until the pot is almost dry. For the roux: In a separate small saucepan, combine the remaining reserved bacon fat with butter* over medium heat. Once the butter is melted, combine with all-purpose flour, stirring constantly for about 5 minutes. (*There should be an equal ratio of fat to flour, so the amount of butter needed depends on the quantity of rendered bacon fat.) After the wine in the large stockpot is reduced, add potatoes, garlic, heavy cream, Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco, vegetable stock, and sachet. Next add the roux, continuing to stir constantly until the chowder comes to a boil. When boiling, reduce heat to a simmer. Continuing simmering for 30 minutes or until the potatoes are tender. Next add freshly shucked oysters with their liquor, lemon juice, minced parsley, and chives. Season with white pepper and salt if necessary. (The oysters and bacon often have enough salt content to season the chowder.) Remove the sachet. Bring chowder back to a simmer and serve.

The Original Conversational Candy BY SHANNON AUSTIN
The candy company Necco, or New England Confectionary Company, was founded in Boston in 1847 by a man named Oliver Chase. The first confection candies were in the shape of sea scallops. Instead of messages printed on them, they contained a message inside much like a fortune cookie. Other shapes that made up Necco’s assortment of confection candies included baseballs, horseshoes, and watches before consumers fell in love with the heart. In the early 1900’s, Oliver’s brother invented a machine that had the ability to stamp directly on the candies with red vegetable dye, and the conversational Necco’s Sweethearts we know today were born.

Some of the original phrases still in use today include “Be Mine,” “Be True,” and “Kiss Me.” The phrases have evolved over time to the delight of consumers. Popular phrases of the ‘90s included “Fax Me,” “Dig It,” and “You Go, Girl.” The timely phrases of recent years have included “Text Me” and “Tweet Me.”
More than 8 billion candy hearts are sold in the six weeks before Valentine’s Day. Following chocolate, they make up 40% of the Valentine’s Day candy market. Necco went out of business in 2018. Spangler Candy, whose claim-to-fame is the Dum Dum Lollipop, purchased the company that fall, but couldn't get production ramped up in time for the 2019 holiday, making it the first year in almost 120 years without the original adored candy.
The most requested candy heart is “Marry Me,” for an extra sweet proposal. Good news and bad news: Spangler is bringing the hearts back in 2020 with the same recipe Necco used, but they anticipate not being able to meet consumer demands since it took almost a year to move all the equipment from the Necco factory to their own. For the best chance at securing the original candy heart this year, it’s recommended to check nationwide drug stores like CVS and Walgreens. Another change for 2020: due to their printer breaking, some of the hearts will not be conversational this year. Suggestions: tell your partner their love makes you speechless, your love doesn’t need words, or some things are better left unsaid. Look for the candy hearts to be back in full force in 2021!

he Lehigh Valley Music Awards, the annual showcase for our region’s outstanding music-related talent, turns 21 this year—and it’s traveled a long path since the founding of the Greater Lehigh Valley Music Association in 1999. Early versions of the program were held in little clubs throughout the Valley; as few as 100 people watched the presentation of just 10 awards. But it wasn’t long before the show outgrew the bar scene. It sequentially moved into the Meadows in Hellertown, Allentown’s Miller Symphony Hall, and Scottish Rite Cathedral.

But it found its current home—the Musikfest Café—about 10 years ago. “Patrick Brogan, who is now chief programming officer and manager of the ArtsQuest Center, had been on our board for a couple of years before suggesting a partnership with ArtsQuest,” said GLVMA director Gloria Domina (a 2012 Grammy winner herself, for the children’s album “All About Bullies”). And the arrangement has been fruitful. “We meet regularly with ArtsQuest throughout the year,” Domina said, “discussing staging, lights, sound, and other matters. They help us put on the best show we possibly can.” LVMA winners also perform during the opening of the Levitt Pavilion season and during Musikfest. “It really helps present our local musicians in a positive light,” she added. Other corporate support includes sponsorship by C. F. Martin and Co., the show itself is presented by Tri Outdoor, Inc., the only locally owned and operated outdoor advertising company in the Valley. This year’s event will be hosted by local favorites Daniel Roebuck and Freddie Frederick, Jr. Bethlehem native and Bethlehem Catholic High School graduate Roebuck has worked in Hollywood for 35 years, appearing in The Man in the High Castle, Glee, Lost, Agents of S. H. I. E. L. D., Criminal Minds, and numerous film roles. “Every year, the winner of the DJ category acts as co-host the next year. This will be Freddie’s third trip to the stage in as many years,” Domina said. Frederick has been a Lehigh Valley fixture for decades, whether on radio or at private events. The roster of presenters includes many Valley notables (including the State Theatre’s senior vice-president of marketing, Jamie Balliet, who received a Special Recognition award from GLVMA in 2018) as well as representatives of the Philadelphia chapter of The Recording Academy, which administer the Grammys program.

HABITAT FOR HUMANITY'S
'Restore' Store BY ANDY COOK
A SURPRISING SOURCE FOR YOUR HOME PROJECTS

s we start a new year (and new decade!), you may already be thinking about getting an early start on your spring house projects. One way to help stretch your budget dollars is to consider buying gently used or new items to help get your project completed. Did you know that we have a Habitat for Humanity ReStore (that’s the name they use for their retail store), here in the Lehigh Valley? It’s located on Grape Street in Whitehall, on the site of the former Circuit City. While many people know that they accept merchandise donations (tax-deductible, by the way), many don’t realize that you can benefit from the donations made by individuals, contractors, businesses, retailers, and manufacturers. You’d be surprised at the sheer variety of things you’ll come across, including home furnishings (furniture, housewares, books, lighting), building materials (hardware, lumber, doors, electrical supplies, flooring, lumber, windows), and actual fixtures like bathtubs, sinks, toilets, appliances, and even kitchen cabinetry! Not all of the donations are used—some are brand new, but unneeded by the individual or business, and all items are sold well below their full original retail price.

Sometimes remodelers (professionals and the do-it-yourselfers), rather than send unneeded materials from their jobsites to the dump or landfill, take the time to uninstall things which they then donate. The ReStore is one of those hidden resources especially if you are looking to do a period renovation—where else might you find a harvest gold or avocado green appliance for that retro rec room in your basement? Taking a trip to the ReStore, you might find as you wander around the warehouse complete kitchens (including cabinets, sinks, and so forth), or a vintage sink you need for your 1960’s house. I’ve seen rows of exterior windows and doors that must have come from an older home that were donated. It’s also a great place to look for mid-century modern furniture 52

if you’re into that vibe. What’s great about places like this is that the inventory changes over quickly, so it’s worth checking out periodically. I can tell you first-hand that they are appreciative of donations large and small. When I updated all of the hardware on my kitchen cabinets (they were a lovely 1970’s-era antique brass door knocker-style with ornate backplate), I dropped off a large box of complete hardware. FYI, the two bathrooms and laundry room also had the same hardware! The folks there are great and very helpful (habitatlv.org/restore-home) and can also address questions if you need details on the types of donations they accept. If you’re unable to drop the items off yourself, they also can pick up large items, too.
Habitat Lehigh Valley has been around since 1989, and their mission is to offer local families in need a hand up, not a hand out. The Habitat ReStore opened in January 2013. Habitat LV uses the proceeds from ReStore sales to support efforts right here in the Lehigh Valley. They like to say their store is part home improvement store, part home goods store, and part resale store. If you are someone who is environmentally conscious, ReStores across the country help divert hundreds of tons of waste materials from landfills! Our ReStore can also recycle latex paint at no charge. According to paint.com, an estimated 10 percent of the more than 650 million gallons of architectural paint sold each year in the United States is
3 WAYS TO DONATE 1 | DONATE ITEMS You can either drop off donations, or contact the store to see if free pickup can be arranged. Check the website for details and specifics as to what is accepted. Think about what could be used by someone else. They also can be tax deductible (check with your CPA to be sure!). 2 | SHOP FOR ITEMS If you don’t have anything to donate but still want to help, consider shopping at these stores for home project materials! If you have a penchant for thrift stores and yard sales, you may want to add the ReStore to your route. 3 | V OLUNTEER YOUR TIME There are a myriad of ways you can volunteer including customer service, furniture repair, pricing inventory, and more. You can volunteer on a build site, too! You must be at least 16 for the construction site, and at least 18 to volunteer at ReStore.
