St. Valentine, as depicted in 1575 by artist Jacopo Bassano, in St. Valentine Baptizing St. Lucillac. Valentine, a priest (perhaps, even, a bishop) secretly performed marriages for young couples in defiance of imperial law, for which he was beheaded by Claudius II on Feb. 14, 270 A.D.

Valentine’s Day a sentimental journey Feb. 14 celebrates love, legend, and tradition

By Carol Marsh

DarkeCountyMedia.com

DARKE COUNTY — When Sleepless in Seattle premiered in theaters across America in 1993,

the romantic comedy, starring Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan, inspired a generation to consider the age-old question of star-crossed, fated love; a tale of two strangers (named Sam and Annie) who, upon meeting by chance, find themselves “perfectly matched” as a result of some not-so-perfect life circumstances.

The movie ends with Sam and Annie romanti-

cally holding hands atop the Empire State Building, as Jimmy Durante’s gruff voice croons of the importance of love and “making just one someone happy.”

While this cinematic moment is a heartfelt tribute to Valentine’s Day, February 14th has an checkered history, steeped in pagan lore, Christian legend, and artful tradition.

The origin of Valentine’s

Day can be traced back to the ancient pagan celebration of Lupercalia, a fertility festival dedicated to the horned Roman god of agriculture, Faunus, as well as Romulus and Remus, the twin founders of Rome.

Occurring annually on the “Ides of February” (1315), the festival was also known as Dies Februatus See JOURNEY | 3A

emerged . For centuries, flowers have been used to convey intentions of love and marriage from the sender to his or her intended, especially on Valentine’s Day. King Charles II of Sweden studied the oriental language of flowers, known as Selam, after spending 5 years of exile in Turkey; upon his return in 1715, he “spoke” the language of love and affection through the symbolism of bouquets of flowers at court. Red roses were a particular favorite to express deep and abiding love. In 1861, Richard Cadbury started packaging chocolates in elaborate, heart-shaped boxes to increase his sales.

Likewise, in 1847, Boston pharmacist Oliver Chase created the first candy hearts as sore-throat lozenges. By 1866, Chase and his brother, Daniel, perfected the lozenge by inventing a special “printer” made with vegetable dye, to convey sayings directly onto the lozenges, such as “be mine,” and “I love you.”

In spite of the COVID-19 pandemic, 6 million couples are likely to get engaged this year on Valentine’s Day 2021, and 5.4 million American households will give their pets a Valentine’s gift (or two). In addition, over 250 million roses will

(after ritual instruments of purification, called februa) and allegedly fended off evil spirits, releasing fertility to inhabitants of the city.

A later Christian legend contends that in third century Rome, the Emperor Claudius II (known as Claudius the Cruel) outlawed marriage for young men because he required more soldiers to carry out Rome’s military campaigns. Valentine, a priest (perhaps, even, a bishop) recognized the injustice of the decree, and secretly performed marriages for young couples, in defiance of imperial law.

When Valentine’s “treason” was discovered, Claudius ordered that he be beaten with clubs and beheaded, and his mandate was carried out on Feb. 14, 270 A.D. One romantic version of the story alludes to a jailer’s daughter befriending the priest, who, upon his death, discovered a final note signed, “from your Valentine.”

In 496, Pope Gelasius I discouraged non-Christian ritual feasts by declaring Feb. 14 as “St. Valentine’s Day.” In spite of this effort, it was commonly believed throughout the Middle Ages that Feb. 14 was the beginning of bird-mating season, and a sign of good luck for love and fertility.

Even the famed English poet, Geoffrey Chaucer, commented upon this phenomenon in his poem, Parliament of Fowls, in 1375. The oldest known “valentine” note was written by Charles, Duke of Orleans, to his wife after the Battle of Agincourt, in 1415, while imprisoned in the Tower of London. By the end of the 18th century, it was common for friends and lovers to exchange small tokens of affection or handwritten notes, especially on Valentine’s Day. In the early 1700s, Americans colonists brought with them the old-world traditions of hand-made valentines. This art was perfected in the 1840s, when Esther A. Howland began selling homemade valentines made with ornate lace, ribbons and colorful “scrap” images. By 1900, innovations in print technology allowed massproduced cards to replace handwritten letters.

Although 145 million Valentine’s Day cards are sent each year (surpassed only

Lady Railroaders down Lehman Cavaliers

By Gaylen Blosser DarkeCountyMedia.com

BRADFORD – The Bradford Lady Railroaders defeated the Sidney Lehman Catholic Lady Cavaliers by a 42-33 score in non-conference play to close regular season play with a 17-5 tying the program for the most regular season wins.

Emma Canan and Cassi Mead played their final home game for the Bradford Lady Railroaders bring praise for Coach Chris Besecker.

“It’s ironic that that class four years ago was celebrating a 19-0 eighth grade season and when it’s all said and done, we have two survivors that stayed committed to the program all that time,” said Besecker. “It says something about them.

They have meant a lot to the program. We have had a lot of success and those two are a big part of it.

We finish at 17-5 and that ties for the most wins in a regular season. Hopefully we can keep rolling into the tournament and chalk

Sidney took advantage of Miller and Canan riding the bench to open fourth quarter play and quickly grabbed a 29-28 lead with 5:49 on the fourth quarter clock. Coach Besecker went to his bench bringing Canan and Miller back into the game resulting in nine unanswered Lady Railroaders points to give the home team a 37-29 advantage with 1:07 on the game clock.

“When we got them back in the game with both of them having four fouls, Emma immediately made several big plays at the defensive end,” Besecker said of Emma Canan and Austy Miller. “That was huge and got us some momentum back.”

“Austy’s been pretty good from the free throw line all year,” Coach Besecker continued. it’s nice to have that weapon there when the game is on the line and you need somebody to knock down free throws.”

GREENVILLE – The Greenville Senior High School swim team competed in the OHSAA Sectional swimming meet at Trotwood Madison High School showcasing many great swims over the two days including a Greenville High School record breaker.

“The entire Greenville High School swim team

has worked extremely hard this season,” said Greenville varsity swim coach Mollie Mendoza.

“Swimmers advancing to the district meet is a testament to their dedication.”

“Carlos Badell, a Green Wave junior, advanced to the district meet in both his individual events, which include the 200yard individual medley (IM) and the 100-yard butterfly events.

Badell broke the Greenville 200 IM record on Friday with a time of 2:07.92. The record-breaking feat is the third Greenville record Carlos has broken this school year.

Badell bested the school’s 200-yard butterfly time at the team’s last home meet of the season, January 31, with a time of 2:12.85 and he smashed the Greenville High School 400-yard IM record earlier in January at the

Europeans also rediscovered the guitar by replacing gut strings with steel ones.

Christian Frederick Martin, who came to America from Germany, created a new guitar, known as the “flat top” which could withstand the stress of modern steel strings. Other modern guitar-inventing pioneers included Orville Gibson, Leo Fender, and Les Paul.

Greenville’s Bach to Rock Music, located downtown at 334 S. Broadway, offers aspiring musicians the opportunity to choose from a full line of instruments and accessories, with lessons conveniently offered at the store. Guitars have been a particular favorite over the years, with the shop selling various brands and models, including Alvarez, Ibanez, and Austin instruments.

Bruce Kaiser, owner of Bach to Rock since 1986,

who plays both guitar and piano, invites the community to come in and explore the many different kinds of guitars available, from acoustic and classical, to electric and bass.

“A good starter guitar pack runs around $179.

A professional guitar can go as high as $1,000,” explained Kaiser. “A quality electric or bass guitar is made from select tone woods and is set-up for ease of playing. An average guitar is made from less expensive woods and may not play as easy as an expensive one.”

Although instruments are available, the COVID19 pandemic has impacted some of the distributors, creating a high demand on the industry, and impacting supply chains and inventory.

In light of following COVID-19 safety protocols, the chamber hosted its 14th annual event via Zoom on Friday afternoon.

The panel of guest speakers included Sharen Geier, President of Dayton Realty, Jeff Kniese, President and CEO of Greenville Federal, Kent James, President and CEO of Greenville National Bank, and Todd Durham, Vice President and Trust Officer of Park National Bank. The meeting was moderated by Peggy Emerson, President of the Darke County CoC, and John Warner, President and CEO of the Brethren Retirement Community and Chairman of the Board of the Darke County CoC.

SCOTT ZUMBRINK DARKE COUNTY TREASURER Darke County Courthouse Case No. 21-CV-00064 Greenville, Ohio 45331 Plaintiff, -vsTHE ESTATE OF LORENA PUBLIC NOTICE OF M. RICHARDS, et al FORECLOSURE Defendant(s) JONATHAN HEIN, JUDGE Public notice is hereby given that on 02/09/2021, the Treasurer of Darke County, Ohio, filed a Complaint in the Common Pleas Court of Darke County, Ohio, for the foreclosure of liens for delinquent taxes, assessments, charges, penalties, and interest against real property described in that Complaint.

The object of the action is to obtain a judgment foreclosing the tax liens and ordering the sale of such real estate for the satisfaction of tax liens.

Such action is brought against the real property only and no personal judgment shall be entered in it. However, if the property is sold for an amount that is less than the amount of the delinquent taxes, assessments, charges, penalties, and interest against it, the Court may enter a deficiency judgment against the owner for the deficiency. If that owner of record is a corporation, the Court may enter the deficiency judgment against the stockholder holding a majority of the corporation’s stock.

The permanent parcel number of each parcel included in such action; the full street address of the parcel, if available; a description of the parcel as set forth in the associated Delinquent Land Tax Certificate or master list of delinquent tracts; a statement of the amount of the taxes, assessments, charges, penalties, and interest due and unpaid on the parcel; the name and address of the last known owner of the parcel as they appear on the general tax list; and the names and addresses of each lienholder and other person with an interest in the parcel identified in a statutorily required title search relating to the parcel are as follows: Permanent Parcel Number: F24-3-212-12-01-01-10900 Property Description: OR 497, Page 333, Official Records, Darke County, Ohio Darke County Recorder’s Office Deed Records Property Address: 8454 Greenville-St Marys Road, Greenville OH Amount of Taxes, Assessment, Charges, Penalties, and Interest Due: $3,798.95 Last Known Owner: Lorena M. Richards, deceased Lienholders or Other Persons of Interest: The Estate of Lorena M. Richards, Brian K. Richards, Executor, PO Box 254, Covington OH Fifth Third Bank, 38 Fountain Square Plaza, Cincinnati OH Any person claiming any interest in or lien upon, any parcel of real property above listed may file an answer setting forth the nature and amount of interest owned or claimed and any defense or objection to the foreclosure. Such answer shall be filed in the office of the Clerk of Court, and a copy of the answer shall be served on the Prosecuting Attorney, on or before 04/02/2021, (twenty-eight days after the date of final publication of this notice).

If no answer is filed on or before the last day for filing an answer, a judgment of foreclosure will be taken by default. Any parcel as to which a foreclosure is taken by default shall be sold for the satisfaction of the taxes, assessments, charges, penalties, and interest, and the costs incurred in the foreclosure proceeding, which are due and unpaid.

At any time prior to the filing of an Entry of Confirmation of Sale, any owner, or lienholder of, or other person with an interest in the parcel listed in the Complaint may redeem the parcel by tendering to the Treasurer the full amount of the taxes, assessments, charges, penalties, and interest due and unpaid on the parcel, together with all costs incurred in the proceeding. Upon the filing of an entry confirming the sale of the parcel, there shall be no further equity of redemption. After the filing of any such entry, any person claiming any interest in or lien upon the parcel shall be forever barred and foreclosed of any interest in and equity of redemption in the parcel.

Concerns over court plan

By Nathaniel Kubik DarkeCountyMedia.com

GREENVILLE — The Darke County Board of Commissioners met Monday afternoon to discuss grants, roadway resurfacing, and the purchase of a new courts-related building. Commissioners Matt Aultman, Mike Stegall, and Larry Holmes were all present.

Resolution (R-36-2021) was approved. This resolution authorized the Darke County Solid Waste District (SWD) to file an application for a grant from the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). This gives the Darke Co. SWD the authority to apply for financial assistance, and to administer finances to hold scrap tire amnesty and clean up events in the county.

The board reviewed a fixing of date motion to secure bids for the asphalt

resurfacing of various county and township roadways. Each bidder must be pre-qualified in accordance with specific details provided by the county. Bids will be received until 1:30 p.m. on March 24. The motion to accept the date was approved.

The board approved a motion to accept the company Arrow Lift, out of Columbus, to install a stair lift at the county administrative building. The total cost of the project is $18,750. The board noted that Arrow Lift was selected due to the quality of their product and the available upgrades for it. The company also provides a lifetime warranty for the motor and gear boxes used to operate the lift.

Ryan Berry, Executive Director of Main Street Greenville and the Darke Co. Visitor’s Bureau, attended the meeting with Hillary Holzapfel, Co-Founder and Execu-

tive Director of the Final Bow Center on Broadway in Greenville. Both Berry and Holzapfel expressed concerns about the Darke County courts purchase of the property known as Chillz Frozen Yogurt, located at 331 S. Broadway Street. The courts plan to use the building to provide work-release classes and resources designed to teach convicted criminals applicable life skills.

Though this building is under contract, Chillz will remain open for the time being. More information on this property will be released when it becomes available.

The issue, as raised by Berry and Holzapfel, is that the new courts building is located directly next to the Final Bow Center, which enrolls nearly 300 children of all ages in various theater, music, and dance programs. Neither Berry or Holzapfel believe that this location, or

Broadway in general, is the correct place for this building. Holzapfel expressed deep concerns about convicted criminals loitering near the Final Bow Center, where dozens of children play and are dropped off by their parents on a daily basis. Holzapfel and Berry both acknowledged that a courts building of this type would be a positive development for the community, but are in disagreement with the choice of location.

The commissioners all agreed with Berry and Holzapfel, and believe that the courts building should be opened at a different location.

The Darke County Board of Commissioners meets every Monday and Wednesday at 1:30 p.m. at their office located at 520 S. Broadway Street in Greenville. To contact the board, call 937-547-7370.

Last State Restricted Morgan Silver Dollar Bank Rolls go to OH residents Ohio residents get first dibs on last remaining Bank Rolls loaded with U.S. Gov’t issued Morgan Silver Dollars dating back to the 1800’s some worth up to 100 times their face value for just the $59 minimum set for state residents - non state residents must pay $136 per coin if any remain after 2-day deadline STATE DISTRIBUTION: A strict limit of 4 State Restricted Bank Rolls per OH resident has been imposed

OHIO - “It’s a miracle these State Restricted Bank Rolls even exist.

That’s why Hotline Operators are bracing for the flood of calls,” said Laura Lynne, U.S. Coin and Currency Treasurer for the National Mint and Treasury.

For the next 2 days the last remaining State of Ohio Restricted Bank Rolls loaded with rarely seen U.S. Gov’t issued Morgan Silver Dollars are actually being handed over to Ohio residents who call the National TollFree Hotlines listed in today’s newspaper publication.

“We are thrilled to present these excellent productions from Virginia Repertory Theatre, not only because we are fulfilling DCCA’s purpose to enrich local lives through the arts, but also because we are supporting a venerated arts theatre group which has been unable to perform due to the pandemic and is therefore suffer-

Additionally, Jordan said that providing the series for free is a thank you to the community which has continued to support the local arts organization throughout the restrictions necessitated by the pandemic which have greatly impacted DCCA’s ability to provide enriching and entertaining arts experiences for public enjoyment.

According to David Warner, DCCA Artistic Director, all three shows reinforce educational goals while also providing delightful entertainment for the entire family. “’Harriet Tubman’ is a deeply moving musical history lesson that

will be meaningful for all ages, while ‘Jack and the Beanstalk’ and ‘The Little Red Hen’ will enthrall toddlers and elementary school students with their rollicking scripts and captivating music,” Warner said.

DCCA’s Family Theatre Series is sponsored by Bach to Rock, Darke County Foundation, Park National Bank, Edison State Community College, Wes and Patti Jetter, Jordan Agency, Jim & Julia Poeppelman, Jean Louise Thieme Fund of Darke County Foundation, Greyson James Steyer Fund of the Darke County Foundation, Gordon & DeSantis Orthodontics, VFW Post 7262, Zechar Bailey Funeral

to have crosswalk lights to ensure maximum safety.

The committee discussed the different types of traffic lights available, and how to best teach children proper safety when acclimating to the new light. State of Ohio Highway funds will cover the entire cost of this project. Upon state and council approval, the committee will begin moving forward with details on how to best install the light. Genovesi concluded by stating that he hopes the light will be open by the beginning of the 2021-2022 school year.

Jacob Banks, chair of the Service and Leisure Committee, reported that the local girl scout troop presented him with plans to plant wild flowers throughout the park. He noted that the girl scouts plan to get in contact with Arcanum Schools to create informative videos about the different flowers in the park. He also noted that Arcanum Junior Baseball contacted him about a contract for the upcoming baseball season. He stated the pricing for the ball diamonds and swimming pool will be discussed at the next committee meeting.

Arcanum Village Council meets the second and last Tuesday of every month at 7 p.m.
