Section 20 - Historical Background: Following the first vision to the young boy Joseph Smith, God gradually proceeded to work towards the establishment of his church. The angel Moroni was sent to Joseph, then to the hidden gold plates to be translated and published as the Book of Mormon; the Aaronic Priesthood was restored followed by the Melchizedek priesthood. This section lays the foundation for the setting up of the governing laws of the Kingdom of God in these latter days. Recap: The precise day is given when the organization of the church is to occur; the names of the first 2 elders are announced; duties of the members of the church and of the quorums of the priesthood; specific wording of the baptismal and sacrament prayers are given. Section 21 - Historical Background: In fulfillment of God's commandment (see section 20), on April 6, 1830, the leaders of the church met together at the home of Peter Whitmer Sr to organize and establish the church in accordance to the laws of the nation. Six men were required to sign the corporate papers to give the church official status in the state of New York. The log cabin was crowded with families and friends who all raised their hands in approval of Joseph Smith as the first Elder of the Church and Oliver Cowdery as the second, and both as presiding officers. After these formalities were completed and the papers signed, the people traveled 6 miles to Seneca Lake. Those who desired to become members of the church were baptized. After returning to the Whitmer home in Fayette, this revelation was received. Recap: Records need to be maintained in the church; Joseph Smith will be called a seer, translator, prophet, apostle and elder of the church. Members of the church should look to the prophet for direction as if given by the Lord Himself; Oliver Cowdery to serve under Joseph to preach the gospel to the world. Section 22 - Historical Background: Previous to the official organization of the church, people had been baptized for the remission of sins. Now it was required to be baptized again, this time as members of God's church. Some people objected to needing baptism again. To resolve the confusion, Joseph received this revelation. Recap: All unauthorized covenants, including baptism, are null and void and “availeth him nothing” but must be done as authorized by God. The very reason for the restoration of the Gospel was to replace the “dead works” and unauthorized and obsolete ordinances of the past.

Scientists say no immediate threat to humans The Putnam County Department of Health confirmed on Jan. 17 that the carcass of a wild goose found at Green Chimneys in Brewster last month tested positive for the highly pathogenic avian influenza, commonly known as bird flu. On Thursday (Jan. 30), the state Department of Agriculture and Markets said five more birds - three wild and two domestic - had tested positive at Green Chimneys, which provides therapeutic services for children that focus on animals and nature. The staff is being monitored for symptoms of illness, although none have been tested for avian flu, the county health department said. Green Chimneys has paused its public programs. The birds at Green Chimneys are among four confirmed cases of the disease statewide in the past two weeks: On Jan. 21, health officials on Long Island announced a positive case at a commercial poultry farm with over 100,000 birds. The facility, Crescent Duck Farm in Suffolk County, has been placed under quarantine while its staff is tested. Its entire stock will be destroyed. On Wednesday (Jan. 29), the Ulster County Department of Health announced that all but two of about 50 chickens and ducks at an unnamed farm had died of avian influenza. The remaining birds were euthanized. "Human contact with the birds was limited to the owners and a veterinarian, who will remain under surveillance for symptoms over the next 10 days," the department said in a statement. On Thursday, the state said it had confirmed two cases in Romulus, in the Finger Lakes, with tests pending on birds found dead on Seneca Lake and Onondaga Lake near Syracuse. Residents who encounter dead birds should avoid making contact. On Wednesday, on Perks Boulevard in Philipstown, Stephen Heath reported finding a dead hawk in his yard that did not appear to have injuries. He contacted the state Department of Environmental Conservation but was told that the agency isn't collecting further samples for testing. It advised him to triple-bag the carcass while wearing gloves and a mask before throwing it in the trash. Suspected bird flu cases can be reported online at bit.ly/DECbirdflu, but an agency representative said there's not much that can be done for wild birds. People should assume any dead bird is infected and follow the guidelines at cdc.gov/bird-flu/prevention. According to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, it is unusual for humans to be infected by avian influenza viruses and it typically occurs only because of close or lengthy unprotected contact (i.e., no gloves or respiratory or eye protection) with infected birds "or places that sick birds or their saliva, mucous and feces have touched." Infection can also occur through an intermediary animal, such as a cat or cow. The CDC has confirmed 67 cases of bird flu in humans, nearly all attributed to close contact with sick cattle or poultry, and one death, announced on Jan. 6 - an older Louisiana resident who contracted avian influenza from backyard chickens. There have been no reported human infections in New York state. The first bird flu viruses emerged in China in 1996 and Hong Kong in 1997, leading to 18 confirmed human infections. The first U.S. case was recorded in 2022. Avian influenza showed up in Dutchess County in 2022. Over the past two years, the virus has been evolving and has been detected in over 40 mammalian species, said Dr. Nahid Bhadelia, an infectious diseases physician and founding director of Boston University's Center on Emerging Infectious Diseases. "As of last spring, this virus has made a jump from birds into dairy cows, which has led to a scenario where many more humans may now come into contact with cows on dairy farms that are being infected," she said. "That has led to what we call 'sporadic infections,' where the infection is transmitted from an animal into humans. Thankfully, we do not see any evidence of sustained human-to-human transmission." Because tens of millions...

Welcome back Wine and Dime listeners! As the CEO and founder of Rooted Planning Group, I am fervent about assisting families in steering through the intricate world of college planning. This episode will dissect the nuances of 529 plans, a favored college savings avenue. We will scrutinize the advantages and considerations of these plans, coupled with shedding light on other savings prospects and strategies. So, pour yourself a glass of wine and accompany me as we venture into college planning, equipped with the finest insights and a splash of exquisite wine.Remember, just like a good bottle of wine, the Wine and Dime Podcast gets better with time.

As the fall season graces upstate New York, I am eager to traverse the east side of Seneca Lake. A vineyard that has piqued my interest is Caywood Vineyards. Nestled near the Finger Lakes National Forest, Caywood Vineyards boasts a tasting room adorned with handcrafted redwood and oak, complemented by a three-story fireplace. It seems to be the quintessential locale to bask in the fall atmosphere. Caywood Vineyards, a subsidiary of the Pleasant Valley Wine Company family based in Hammondsport.

Learn more about them here and discover the best wine trails around Seneca Lake here.Understanding 529 PlansTransitioning our attention to the focal point of this article - 529 plans. These plans serve as a vital instrument for college savings, yet it's imperative to avoid overfunding them. Contributions to 529 plans are facilitated with after-tax dollars and flourish tax-free. Withdrawals utilized for qualified education expenses are also exempt from tax. In certain states, like New York, tax deductions or credits are accessible for contributions to 529 plans. A notable merit of 529 plans is their negligible effect on financial aid eligibility, being categorized as a parental asset. In instances where the 529 plan is held by someone other than the parents or student, it might be excluded entirely.Strategizing Contributions and Gift Tax ExclusionWhen orchestrating contributions to 529 plans, awareness of the gift tax exclusion is vital. For 2023, the gift tax exclusion stands at $17,000, allowing anyone to bestow a gift up to this amount per annum to your child without triggering gift tax repercussions. Furthermore, direct tuition payments to colleges are unrestricted and can diminish taxable estates. Strategic planning of your contributions to 529 plans is essential, taking into account other savings avenues. Prioritizing retirement savings is prudent, as borrowing for retirement is not an...

In this edition of The Debrief Podcast we're joined by Peter Mantius from The Water Front Online. The longtime environmental reporter has been busy publishing a number of high-profile pieces on the Finger Lakes over the last two weeks; and we needed to catch up with him to break down the headlines. First up, the shocking news that was originally broke by The Deal, about Cargill seeking to sell its salt mine under Cayuga Lake. The company is one of the region's largest employers, and while advocates have been critical of safety surrounding the mine under Cayuga, a potential sale raises even more questions. Next, the latest with the town of Thurston moving toward banning field spreading of sewage sludge. It's a common, albeit odd practice for those who aren't familiar with agriculture, but the local ban could really complicate things for Casella. Advocates have pushed back against spreading sewage sludge on fields because of 'forever chemicals' that have been found in the matter. And finally, we talk about Greenidge Generation's plans to sell its South Carolina bitcoin operation. The company has had a rough stretch, but shortly after we finished recording - news broke that a federal judge dismissed a lawsuit against Greenidge over warm water discharges into Seneca Lake.

Shaw Vineyard, located on Seneca Lake, is known for its dedication to aging their wines. Their reds spend five or more years in the cellar before they are bottled, resulting in a rich and flavorful experience. They also offer a unique blend called the Cuca Hill Reserve, which combines Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc. I am eager to explore this winery and discover the nuances of their wines. If you have had the pleasure of trying Shaw Vineyard's wines, I would love to hear about your experience. And if you find yourself in the Finger Lakes area, I encourage you to visit and embark on your own wine adventure.The Five Essential Steps of College PlanningNow, let's shift our focus to the topic at hand: college planning fundamentals. It is important to approach college planning with a clear understanding of your goals and priorities. Defining your goals involves determining how much responsibility you and your child will have in funding their education, as well as considering other financial goals that may require attention. It is crucial to establish a timeline for each goal and anticipate any potential detours along the way. By mapping out your college planning journey, you can create a comprehensive and adaptable plan that aligns with your family's unique circumstances.The Power of Savings: Understanding 529 PlansWhen it comes to saving for college, 529 plans are a popular choice. These education savings plans offer tax advantages and can be customized to suit your needs. There are different types of 529 plans, including savings plans, prepaid plans, and private plans.

Hello, Wine and Dime listeners! Thank you once again for joining the show. Today, we are diving into a topic that is often overlooked but incredibly important in estate planning: The Five Wishes. This document, created by the organization Five Wishes, is the first living will that addresses not only your medical wishes but also your personal, emotional, and spiritual needs. It allows you to choose the person who will make healthcare decisions for you if you are unable to do so yourself.Key Takeaways:The Five Wishes is a comprehensive living will that addresses personal, emotional, and spiritual needs, in addition to medical wishes.The document allows individuals to choose a healthcare decision-maker and specify their medical treatment preferences.It covers how individuals want to be treated, what they want loved ones to know about them, and their funeral wishes.Distribute copies of the Five Wishes to relevant parties and keep the original in a safe place at home.Aging with dignity involves ensuring that family members are aware of an individual's final wishes.Before we delve into the details of The Five Wishes, let's take a moment to talk about something a little lighter. In our previous episodes, we featured a winery called Billsboro on Seneca Lake. If you ever find yourself in the Finger Lakes area of New York, I highly recommend visiting Billsboro. Their wines are delightful, and the setting in their beautiful old barn is truly picturesque. One wine that stood out to me was their 2022 Sarah, which will be released soon. It's a light and rich-flavored wine that I believe many wine enthusiasts will enjoy.Now, let's get back to the topic at hand: The Five Wishes. This document is a comprehensive living will that covers various aspects of your healthcare and end-of-life wishes. It was created with the help of the American Bar Association Commission on Law and Aging and is available in 29 languages.The Five Wishes addresses five key areas:1. Choosing a Healthcare Decision-MakerThe first wish allows you to designate the person you want to make healthcare decisions for you if you are unable to do so yourself. This person, known as your healthcare proxy or agent, will have the authority to make medical decisions on your behalf. It's crucial to choose someone you trust and who understands your values and wishes.2. Defining Your Medical Treatment PreferencesThe second wish focuses on your preferences for medical treatment. It allows you to specify the kind of medical treatment you want or don't want in various scenarios. You can outline your preferences for pain management, comfort, and life-supporting treatments. The document provides options for you to be as specific as you'd like, ensuring that your wishes are known and respected.3. Ensuring Comfort and DignityThe third wish centers around your desire for comfort and dignity. You can express how you want to be cared for, including specific requests such as having pictures of loved ones in your room, being treated with kindness and cheerfulness, or even being called by a particular name or nickname. This wish allows you to define how you want people to treat you during your healthcare journey.4. Communicating Your Personal WishesThe fourth wish is an opportunity for you to communicate your personal wishes to your loved ones. You can express forgiveness, love, and any other sentiments you want your family and friends to know. Additionally, you can outline your preferences for your body after death, such as burial, cremation, or donation. This wish ensures that your

Nestled on the shores of Seneca Lake, this winery is a must-visit for all wine lovers. My recommendation? The Alberino - a refreshing white grape wine that's perfect for summer. So, whether you're a local or a visitor, make sure to add Billsboro Winery to your itinerary.Decoding Power of AttorneyNext, I uncorked the main topic of the episode: Power of Attorney. I explained the two types of Power of Attorney - financial and healthcare - and the difference between durable and non-durable. I emphasized the importance of appointing a trustworthy agent and having a successor in place. Remember, this isn't legal advice, but a guide to help you understand the terminology and its relevance to your life.Pitfalls to AvoidI also highlighted some common pitfalls to avoid when dealing with Power of Attorney. From appointing the wrong agent to not having access to the physical document, I outlined potential issues that could leave a sour taste in your financial planning.Recommended WineTo pair with this episode's theme, I recommend the Alberino from Billsboro Winery. Much like a Power of Attorney, this wine is there for you when you need it most, providing a refreshing, reliable taste that you can count on. So, as you navigate the complexities of estate planning, take a moment to savor Alberino's crisp, light flavors. After all, who said legal discussions couldn't be paired with a delightful wine?That's it for this episode of "Wine and Dime."

In this episode, I take a look at the Cayuga Lake monster! I haven't really touched on lake monsters on the show yet, but after recently visiting the Finger Lakes region near Ithaca, New York, I had to talk about some of the local legends. Nearby Seneca Lake also has some lake monster sightings, so I delve a bit into that as well. Have you ever heard of Old Greeny, the monster of Cayuga Lake? What do you think about lake monsters? Do they exist? or is there a rational explanation for the sightings? #cayuga #lakemonster #fingerlakes #cryptids #ithaca Links! Follow us on Social media!

Mel Nass is a former IBM engineer who, along with his wife Phyllis, became co-owners of national grape distributor Venture Vineyards, a 150-acre farm just above Seneca Lake. Mel and Phyllis originally visited the Finger Lakes on a camping trip and fell in love with the area…the rest is history! They began raising table grapes such as Concords, Niagaras, Wordens, and seedless grapes that grow well in the Finger Lakes. Mel strategically pitched his grapes to local grocers, first giving them sample orders to sell for 100% profit…the gesture worked like a charm and they soon began calling him to order 100s of boxes at a time. On top of local distribution, he shipped the grapes all over the country and they are now carried by massive supermarkets such as Tops, Wegmans, Wal-Mart, Publix, and Winn Dixie.     Follow Carl: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/toeverypageaturning/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/CarlBuccellatoAuthor LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/carl-buccellato-60234139/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVB3YH1iQxK4IL4ya5j4-Jg Website: https://toeverypageaturning.com/   Produced by: https://socialchameleon.us

Governor Hochul has signed the first-in-the-nation cryptocurrency mining moratorium. The law will put a two-year pause on new and renewed air permits for fossil fuel power plants that house proof-of-work cryptocurrency mining, and requires the state DEC to conduct a study into the practice's climate and environmental impacts. Mark Dunlea of Hudson Mohawk Magazine talks with Yvonne Taylor of Seneca Lake Guardians who helped led the grassroots effort.

Bitcoin mining today uses a half percent of the world's electricity. Every year, as more shipping containers and warehouses full of high-powered computers are deployed to unlock more bitcoin, energy use grows by double digits. As bitcoin mining operations scramble to find new power sources, they're often turning to aging coal or fossil gas plants that offer cheap electricity. This week, we'll take you to Seneca Lake, upstate New York, where a group of unlikely activists is fighting back against a “zombie” power plant that is now fueling a Bitcoin mine.  What's happening in Seneca Lake is not a one-off story. Across the nation, the companies that own dying, dirty power plants see cryptocurrency as a chance to extend their lives. Bitcoin mining is locking in fossil fuels – so what can we do about it?

- State regulators punt a decision on bitcoin mining: For environmental advocates it was another disappointing week, as state leaders from the DEC punted a decision on bitcoin mining. Advocates say there's an environmental cost to the kind of data mining that's taking place at a plant along Seneca Lake in Dresden, Yates County. However, the DEC said no decision would be made until after June's primary elections. Does this give us a clue about the decision coming in a couple months? - Sheriff Povero says staffers actions ‘heroic': On Friday, a student brought a loaded handgun with extra ammunition to the Red Jacket High School in Shortsville. Sheriff Phil Povero says the quick action of staffers inside the building were ‘heroic' and likely prevented a tragedy. A 15-year-old was taken into custody, but little more is known about what led up to Friday's lockdown. As expected, reaction from the community was swift — with support for law enforcement and staff — and questions about how something like this can be prevented in the future. What steps can/should schools take to mitigate the possibility of incidents that are statistically unlikely? - Officer involved shooting: Sheriff Rob Milby said after an officer involved shooting in the town of Ontario that the deputy who responded to the scene retreated a significant distance before firing his sidearm. The deputy was responding to a call from New York State Office of Mental Health for a person who was said to be unstable, off his medication, and possibly intoxicated while operating a vehicle. The person became aggressive, and when deploying a taser didn't work — the deputy fired his weapon. No life threatening injuries were reported, but the debate on social media played out as expected. Some arguing that no force should have been used, while other applauded the deputy. Others were left asking: How can these situations be handled safely and adequately for all involved? - Another shopping mall in flux: Great Northern Mall in the Syracuse area has fallen into disrepair, but county officials don't want it to be another ShoppingTown Mall. They purchased that one two years ago. So, with that scenario unlikely — big questions remain. As shopping malls disappear — vast structures remain — so how should they be repurposed? - Hiring struggles come to life: Thompson Health in Canandaigua has more than 250 openings right now. Last week a job fair was held and just 40 people showed up. Around half were hirable, according to reporting from the job fair. Unemployment numbers continue declining — which begs a fundamental question about economic viability: First off, how does healthcare in rural communities survive these massive labor gaps? Second, looking outside healthcare — how does an economy keep the wheels turning with virtually every business facing the same problem? - Gas tax holiday debated further: Lawmakers at the state and federal level are trying to find ways to hold back fuel prices. One story focused on the price of gasoline, and the need for relief at the pump. Another on home energy prices, as sky high utility bills are reported throughout Upstate New York. Is it time for major action to reduce the cost of gas? What do you think? We want to hear your opinion! Share your thoughts on any of these stories — or questions — by emailing news@fingerlakes1.com.

I return to the Finger Lakes for an interview with Gene Pierce, the pioneering founder of Glenora Wine Cellars on Seneca Lake in the beautiful Finger Lakes region of New York.  Gene’s experience in vineyards spans more than 50 years, and his leadership in the Finger Lakes wine industry spans more than four decades.  Founding Glenora as the first winery on the west side of Seneca Lake, he blazed a trail for the region shortly after the passage of the 1976 Farm Winery Act.  If you like this podcast, please be sure to rate us 5 stars in Apple podcasts and like our videos on YouTube. Due to the extraordinary amount of time video editing has taken, I have put the YouTube portion of the show on hold for a little while.

On this week's episode of Uncorked with Funny Wine Girl, I take on the roles of host and guest. This one goes out to all of the wine drinkers out there and the gals who like to do a fun weekend getaway to celebrate their friends. I'm breaking down my weekend with two gal pals--Cristan and Cindy-- at the Finger Lakes to celebrate Fabulous 50. I celebrated myself in September and this was an early celebration of my friend Cristan who turns 50 on February 28. Tune in to hear about our winter weekend hitting wineries around Seneca Lake. I'll share recommendations on lodging, wine and food...and some words of wisdom (sort of).
