How Chocolate Became Tied To Valentine’s Day
SUNDAY-TUESDAY | 11 AM-2 AM WEDNESDAY-THURSDAY | 7 AM-2 AM FRIDAY-SATURDAY | 6 AM-2 AM
Heart-shaped boxes filled with decadent treats are coveted gifts on Valentine’s Day. Chocolate lovers typically have a favorite type of chocolate, whether it’s creamy filled truffles or chocolate pieces with fruit or nut fillings. The tradition of gifting chocolate is anything but new. Chocolate & other sweet treats have been offered for centuries as prized gifts. Even ancient Aztecs & Mayans celebrated chocolate & saw it as a hot commodity. Drinks made of cacao beans would be given as presents to people of high status. Chocolate also would be offered to the gods as a token of appreciation. Cacao beans were even used as a form of currency at one point. During the 17th century, chocolate consumption grew considerably across Europe. Chocolate houses cropped up in London, & the French elite often indulged in chocolate. Chocolate’s popularity continued to grow, but the dessert was not linked to Valentine’s Day until nearly 200 years later. In the mid-1800s, an enterprising individual named Richard Cadbury was looking for a way to make chocolate even more popular than it already was. He sought out a method to make drinking chocolate more palatable & created “eating chocolates.” These chocolates were packaged in decorative boxes. Eventually, Cadbury saw the benefit of putting images of cupids & roses on the boxes. Cadbury even designed chocolate boxes in the shape of hearts that could be saved as mementos. These chocolates soon became intertwined with Valentine’s Day celebrations. On the other side of the Atlantic, Milton Hershey dabbled in commercializing chocolate as well. 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 U.S., 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 & 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 & Whitmans are two such manufacturers who have long specialized in heart-shaped boxes or other decorative Valentine’s gifts.

Traditionally, men have gifted women with boxes of chocolate for Valentine’s Day. However, that role is reversed in other areas of the world. For example, in Japan, women give gifts - namely chocolates to the men in their lives to express love, courtesy or social obligation. This tradition first began in 1936 when confectioner Morozoff Ltd. ran the first ever Valentine’s Day ad in Japan through a local English newspaper. By the 1950s, other Japanese confectioners were following suit.

Chocolate has long been tied to Valentine’s Day gifting. Whether one believes that chocolate symbolizes heightened status, acts as an aphrodisiac or is just a special treat, chocolates will likely always be associated with the day of love.

Great Gadgets For Travel Enthusiasts Travel enthusiasts know that venturing off to parts unknown can be unpredictable. As a result, travelers can never be too prepared. Some gadgets can help the world’s wanderers overcome unforeseen obstacles while overseas, while others can simply add to the enjoyment of visiting a faraway land for the first time. • Translation device: A translation device can help travelers overcome the language barrier when visiting a locale where their native tongue is not spoken. Some devices, such as the iLi Instant Offline Translation Device, can translate words without being connected to the internet, which is ideal for those traveling to remote parts of the world with unreliable or no internet access. Before choosing a device for a particular trip, make sure it’s capable of translating words into the primary language spoken in the country you’ll be visiting. • Safety device: The world is a wonderful place to explore, but travelers must keep safety in mind at all times. A wearable safety device that’s not bulky won’t make it uncomfortable to travel, but it can make travelers feel more secure. The Silent Beacon Wearable Safety Device can dial 911 in an emergency, indicating users’ GPS location to emergency personnel, & alert loved ones who users load into the device before their trips. The device even allows travelers who feel threatened to call for help without letting anyone around them know. • Portable smartphone charger: Travel photos can help travelers cherish their adventures for years to come. Of course, it’s hard to take photos with a smartphone if phones are not fully charged. The Omnicharge Omni 20 comes in various models & can charge any device, including smartphones. If the Omni 20 bust some travelers’ budgets, there are other portable chargers designed specifically for smartphones. Users need only make sure the device they purchase is compatible with their specific phones. • Portable coffee brewer: A portable coffee brewer is perfect for travelers who like to sleep outside during their travels. Just because you go to sleep under the stars does not mean you can’t begin your day enjoying a hot cup of coffee as you soak up some morning sun. For those whose travels will take them up a mountain or through hilly terrain, be sure to purchase a portable brewer that’s lightweight & compact. The right gadgets can make any trip more memorable & provide a taste of home away from home.
How To Sanitize A Mobile Phone The most germ-addled item in your home may not be the toilet or the kitchen sponge. Mobile phones pick up bacteria wherever they go. In addition, users touch their phones an average of 47 times a day according to the national average determined by a Deloitte research survey, introducing new contaminants to the device each time they do so. Researchers at the University of Arizona found that cell phones carry 10 times more bacteria than many toilet seats, & there may be as many as 17,000 bacterial gene copies on the average high-schooler’s phone. While cell phone safety often focuses on protecting data, smartphone users also should consider keeping their phones clean to remove the potentially harmful microbes that accumulate on phones every day. Avoid excess moisture when cleaning cell phones, advises the home & lifestyle experts at The Spruce as moisture can damage internal components. Most cell phone screens have an oleophobic coating that repels oils from hands & fingers. Harsh cleansers or abrasive materials on the glass can prematurely remove this coating and/or scratch the surface. While you clean at your own risk, many tech experts suggest a spray mixture of distilled water & isopropyl alcohol applied to a microfiber cloth to remove surface contaminants. Don’t directly wet the phone. There also are prepackaged cleansers sold for electronics usage. Invest in an antimicrobial cover to provide an added layer of protection for the phone. Other ways to keep a phone clean are to wash your hands before use & to try to keep the phone away from areas that may be vulnerable to germs, such as bathrooms.
The Hidden Boost That Buying Local Provides Though consumers no doubt understand how buying from local merchants can benefit those merchants, few may grasp just how beneficial buying local can be to their entire communities. In 2012, Civic Economics, an economic analysis & strategic planning firm, analyzed data from 15 independent retailers & seven independent restaurants, all located in Salt Lake City, comparing those businesses’ local economic impact with four national retailer chains & three national restaurant chains. The study found that the local retailers returned 52% of their revenue to the local economy, a figure that dwarfed the revenue returned by the national chains, which returned just 14% of revenue to the local economy. Restaurants provided an even bigger boost to local economies, returning 79% of their revenue compared to just 30% for the national chain restaurants. The reasons for these disparities include local businesses spending more on local labor & relying more heavily on local service providers. So while buying local may be more convenient & eco-friendly, it also can greatly benefit local economies.

Great Reasons To Visit Your Local Library Many people have a wonderful resource at their disposal just minutes from their homes. This resource can transport them to distant lands & serve as a great place to meet new friends. So what is this magical place? Our local library - Ida Public Library, 320 N. State St., Belvidere. Libraries offer more than books, making them an invaluable resource for the community. The following are just a handful of the great reasons to visit the library. • Reading may help improve long-term mental health. A 2001 study from researchers at Case Western Reserve University found that patients with Alzheimer’s disease were less active in early & middle adulthood in regard to intellectual, passive & physical activities than people who did not have AD. Young adults & middle-aged men & women who visit their local libraries & check out a book might decrease their risk for cognitive decline later in life. • Reading can improve your vocabulary. Reading for pleasure as a child has long been linked to helping young people age 16 & under develop strong reading & math skills. But a recent study that examined how the vocabularies of more than 9,400 people developed between ages 16-42 found that vocabulary continued to improve long after teenage years. By continuing to read books, adults can further develop their vocabularies. • Libraries provide lots of free entertainment. Libraries are home to newspapers, magazines, CDs, & DVDs for entertainment. Better yet, such entertainment is free to card holders. Ida Public Library “Blind Date With A Book” offered now through February 16th - Are you brave enough to bring a book home without knowing what it is? In honor of Valentine’s Day, the library will be gathering some of the best books & wrapping them up. Don’t worry, they will give you a little hint about what is on the inside! There will be books available throughout the whole library. Turn in reaction cards for a chance to win a small drawing.

As the colder months approach, many seniors may dread the added cost of turning up the heat as part of their cold weather budget expenses. However, seniors in the area can offset their budgets by taking advantage of the Senior Grocery Markets every 1st & 3rd Thursday of the month, 8:30-11:00 AM. Located at the Northern Illinois Food Bank’s Northwest Center, 765 Research Pkwy., Rockford. They provide a variety of nutritious food to include fresh produce & assorted meats. Even though the market is located in Rockford, this free market is available to all seniors in the Winnebago & surrounding counties. Local seniors 60 years & older are eligible for this benefit. When you arrive at the market, you will need provide an ID (examples are your driver license, mail, etc.). Don’t forget to bring your own shopping bags. Seniors can pick out the foods they want, which not only helps with eliminating food waste, but is an important factor for many seniors that may have diet restrictions. One of the frequent question’s seniors ask is if a senior may have someone shop for them as a proxy. The answer to this question is yes. During your 1st trip to the Senior Grocery Market you & your proxy need to come together & fill out the proxy paperwork. Your designated person must have a valid ID as well. Despite the historic lows this winter, it felt a little bit warmer in the hearts & homes of many senior veterans across Boone County. This past holiday season, the Veterans Assistance Commission of Boone County was able to work with a local company, majority of which were seniors, by presenting them with a food basket. Each basket was filled with a turkey, potatoes, stuffing, cake & many other traditional holiday food items. For the past several years this company has made the lives of these special seniors feel unforgotten by honoring their military service to our country. This unique population of Senior Veterans served our country during war time & peace time in all branches of the military serving as far back as WWII & the Korean War. Both Veterans & volunteers look forward to this annual event. Although it may seem like a small way to say, “thank you for your service” in the form of food; it is a gift that words cannot express. The sense of thankfulness by the recipients of these food baskets is incredible. The day is full of hugs, tears & genuine heartfelt gratitude. Each basket is hand delivered to each Veterans’ home by volunteers making the delivery even more special to each person. Food donations do not stop at baskets for Christmas. The Belvidere Police Department annually provides for citizens of Boone County. Due to their efforts & community gifts, the Veterans Assistance Commission of Boone County is able to provide for Boone County Veterans by providing ongoing canned goods far beyond the holidays. Senior Veterans are able to come by & pick up items at no cost until every item has been taken. For many seniors, food can be one less expense to worry about, giving them more time to focus on family, health & happiness.
