Although Valentine’s Day may be geared toward adults, children are quite drawn to the celebration as well. Perhaps it’s the promise of candy or chocolate that gets their attention, but Valentine’s Day annually appeals to the younger set. Some couples opt to leave children in the capable hands of a babysitter come Valentine’s Day and enjoy the evening solo. But for those who want to include youngsters in their fun, they can explore the many enjoyable and clever crafts and other activities available. Learning games

Valentine’s Day can be turned into a learning opportunity for children. One idea is to create an “Attracting Love” game that illustrates the power of magnets and the laws of attraction. Fill an empty glass jar with various items made into heart shapes. These can include small pieces of pipe cleaner, paper clips, paper, and even aluminum foil hearts. Put the top on the jar and shake up the contents. Let children guess which items will be attracted to a magnet, then have them test their theory with a strong magnet rubbed on the outside of the jar. See which hearts are attracted to the magnet. Other learning games can include matching or finding the differences between pictures, counting paper hearts or making recipes of scented modeling dough. Dessert fun

Invite youngsters into the kitchen to try their hands at different recipes, making sure that they have a chance to sample their handiwork afterward. Faux chocolate truffles made with chocolate sandwich cookies can be a tasty treat for little hands. Start by mashing up the cookies and then add them to a bowl with one, 8-ounce package of cream cheese. Mix until everything is incorporated into a sticky batter. Truffles can be made into balls or heart shapes. For children celebrating Valentine’s Day and winter fun, turn the truffles into edible snowmen. Dip the truffles into melted chocolate or colored candy melts to coat. Place on a wax paper-covered cookie sheet and refrigerate for an hour, or until the truffles are firm.

SUPERSTARS! SUPERSTARS! tickets are now on sale at the Elks Lodge. The show is at 6 p.m., Saturday, March 7.

This show will sell out, so don’t wait until the last minute to get tickets. Call (928) 474-2572 for more information. Time for Taste of Rim Country The Library Friends of Payson 14th Annual A Taste of Rim Country Fundraiser is from 5 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., Saturday, March 7 at the Payson Public Library, 328 N. McLane Road, Payson. Tickets are priced at $35 each, and include a ballot on which to vote for your favorite chef entry. Only a limited number of tickets will be sold. Stop by the library to learn more and purchase tickets.

Crafts

Children can have fun cutting out cupids, making coloring pages or doing just about any other Valentine-inspired craft, like making their own cards. Another craft idea is to write secret love notes with invisible ink. Lemon juice can be used as invisible ink. Have children write a message by dipping a cotton swab or their finger in lemon juice and then writing words on a white piece of paper. Once

the papers have dried, an adult can reveal the message by placing the paper in front of a heat source, such as an iron or a light bulb. The message will magically appear and reveal those secret sentiments. Children can get crafty by making gifts for the special people in their lives. Combine the concept of valentines with the ambiance of a candle. For an even safer alternative, opt for an LED-flame candle instead of traditional candles. Kids can glue foam conversation hearts, sold at many craft stores, to the outside of the candle. Wrap the middle of the candle with ribbon, and they’ve just created an easy, heartfelt gift.

they can then serve to family members or friends. Children can even prepare dinner as a token of appreciation to their parents. Plan recipes with kids in advance, but look for age-appropriate menu ideas, particularly those that will not require much use of the stovetop or other dangerous kitchen appliances. Kids can always do the prep work and then ask an adult to put the food into the oven for cooking. One easy idea is to create heart-shaped hamburger sliders and Valentine-colored mashed potatoes. Use red potatoes with the skin on to create the potato mash. The sliders can be shaped by hand or using a heart-shaped cookie cutter. Valentine’s Day is just around the corner and the holiday presents many opportunities for children to share in the fun and festivities.

This is a friendly, clean country. Let’s not forget California for fun and relaxing vacations. Much of the state is interesting to many. And there are the theme parks, including Disneyland. The beaches in the southern portion of the state are popular, as are many hotels and resorts. Further north and inland are high mountains for skiing, exploring and lakes that include Lake Tahoe. Colorado grows in popularity each year and is known around the world for its mountain ski resorts. Florida is very popular especially among Midwest and Eastern vacationers year around. Orlando is now the most popular destination for travelers in the United States. Europe becomes more popular each year for Americans. Tours and cruises are a mainstay especially for first time travelers. Older travelers prefer river and

ocean cruising around Europe now since it is the easiest way to get around to the several locations desired to visit. The British Isles, Ireland, France and Italy are currently the preferred spots for American travelers, with Spain, Portugal and countries in Eastern Europe and Greece remaining popular. Most of the U.K. and Europe are quite expensive, so take along a lot of credit cards or book the tour or cruise that suits you. The South Pacific is gaining popularity with Australia and New Zealand at the head of the list. Both of these countries are quite different from one another and please most American travelers. English is the primary language in both, so getting around is easy. On your way to or from the South Pacific plan to spend a few days in Tahiti visiting the main island along with Moorea and Bora Bora. You’ll never forget the tropical beauty. As the old saying goes, the world is your oyster. Your destination desires and budget will determine where and how you go. It’s all good!

John C. Fremont is one of the better

known names of Arizona territorial governors, but not for his time in Arizona. He led a number of expeditions into the West during the 1840s and also served for a time as Commander of the Western Armies for the Union during the Civil War. Fremont was territorial governor between 1878 and 1881, but supposedly spent little time in Arizona. When the 20th century arrived, Arizona was well on its way to statehood, though obstacles remained. Oakes Murphy, Alexander Brodie, Joseph Kibbey, and Richard Sloan were the final territorial governors prior to statehood. Brodie is a particularly interesting one. Nominated in 1902 by Theodore Roosevelt, he had well established Arizona credentials. He served in the military, spending time in Arizona in the early 1870s as part of General George Crook’s Arizona campaign. After assignments elsewhere, he came back to Arizona in 1884, setting up residence in Prescott. He spent a couple years in the 1890s as Yavapai County Recorder and then served with Roosevelt’s Rough Riders during the Spanish-American War.

Richard Sloan was Arizona’s last territorial governor, helping lead Arizona into statehood. Born in Ohio, he came to Arizona in 1884 and became a judge in 1889 on the Arizona Territorial Supreme Court. He spent some time off of the court during the mid 1890s but returned to the court in 1897 until leaving for the governor’s post in 1909. It was a pivotal time. Statehood was close, so close that no elections for the 1911 Legislature were held in 1910. But statehood was pushed back because of a measure in the Arizona Constitution regarding the recall of judges, which caused President Taft to veto the statehood resolution for Arizona. Sloan helped lead Arizona through this challenging time. Ultimately the provision was removed and on February 14, 1912, President Taft signed Arizona into statehood. Arizona became the 48th state and George P. Hunt became its first governor. While the performance of Arizona’s 17 territorial governors varied, most if not all of them made a positive impact and often get overlooked in Arizona’s history.

Greeting card history and etiquette

Billions of greeting cards are sold and exchanged each year, and Valentine’s Day is one of the most popular days of the year to give a loved one a greeting card. The Greeting Card Association says 145 million Valentine’s Day units are sold in the United States each year. The association says seven out of 10 surveyed card buyers consider greeting cards to be essential to them, and are passing on the greeting card tradition to younger generations. Though the tradition of exchanging greeting cards is still going strong, few may know the history and etiquette behind this time-tested tradition.

GREETING CARD HISTORY The tradition of exchanging greeting cards can be traced back to ancient China, where people exchanged messages of good will to celebrate the New Year (which these days tends to fall in February too). Over time, greeting cards were exchanged for various reasons, and by the 1850s greeting cards were transformed from handmade, expensive purchases to relatively affordable means of personal communication and well-wishing.

Valentine’s Day greetings have been popular since the Middle Ages, when they were sung or spoken aloud to special people. Cards were popularized in the 1400s, and the oldest known Valentine created during this era is on display in the British Museum in London. Valentines were initially made by hand, but by the end of the 1800s, the process of making cards was handled by machinery. Esther Howland, an American printer and artist, was one of the first to publish and sell valentines in the United States.

KEEPING CARDS Although there are no rules governing just how long to keep and display a card, most people keep them for five to seven days. Some special occasion cards, such as milestone birthdays or religious rites of passage, may warrant holding on to the card for posterity. However, the length of time cards are kept is entirely at the discretion of the recipient. ETIQUETTE Sending cards requires a little know-how. Start out with a high-quality card to show that you value the recipient. If you’re taking the time to send

a greeting card, make sure it looks like you put some effort into its selection. Ensure greeting cards will arrive on time by mailing them out a week or two before the special day. Few things are worse than a card arriving late and seeming like an afterthought. Address cards by hand and sign them personally. Although desktop printers can make fast work of card mailings, writing things out by hand is a special touch that indicates you care. Personal greeting cards for close friends and family members may also deserve an extra special touch, like including a custom message or a photograph. Greeting cards are about expressing sentiments to special people in your life. They’re popular on Valentine’s Day and all year long to commemorate holidays and special occasions. There is a growing trend to return to sending hand-made cards. These are especially popular in the crafting world. They can be as intricate or as simple as the crafter chooses and there are numerous kits available with which to make the cards.

COVER STORY | TERESA MCQUERREY

Metro Creative Services

Flowers and Cupid are two symbols of the season of love created around Valentine’s Day.

Hearts, flowers, chocolate We have finally put the memory of the sugar highs of Thanksgiving and Christmas behind us and here it is Valentine’s Day. So what is it with all the hearts, flowers, chocolates and all that jazz? What follows is a collage of articles on the topics. EXPLORING THE CONNECTION BETWEEN THE HEART AND LOVE

Hearts and Valentine’s Day are forever intertwined. One of the most recognizable symbols of love is the modest heart, and hearts adorn candy boxes and cookies while paper hearts are pinned to doors or windows as a symbol of Valentine’s Day. Young valentines may share candy hearts printed with silly sentiments. A symbolic heart bears no resemblance to an anatomical heart, and yet it is used to represent the deepest feelings of affection a person can share. Some may wonder just how the emotions of love became tied up in the shape of a heart, even though it’s widely known that the brain, and not the heart, governs affections. In ancient times, people believed that the heart was the center of all human emotions. Since the heart is prominently located in the center of the chest and the middle of the body, it became the cornerstone of human feelings. Love is considered to be one of the most profound and strongest human emotions, therefore it was reasoned that the feeling must emanate from the heart. Surprisingly, the heart has not always

been the only organ associated with love. During the Middle Ages, the heart was deemed a useless organ. Followers of the Greek physician Galen theorized that the liver actually was the seat of the soul and love. The first depictions of a symbolic heart date back to the 11th century, when the heart was drawn to resemble a pinecone held upside down with the point facing upward. The scalloped heart that is more familiar today first arose in the early 14th century. Around the same time, the heart was depicted with the point facing downward and the indentation at the base. Naturally, as time passed and more was learned about human anatomy, it became obvious that the brain was the seat of all emotion and thought processes. However, as the brain was something intangible in a living body in ancient times, and the beating heart could be much more readily monitored — with a pulse rate speeding up when a person is excited or aroused — it’s easy to see how the link between the heart and love has endured. Although the human heart is not bright red like symbolic hearts, that was the color chosen. Red has long been associated with passion, so it made sense to depict the heart in a bright red hue. Many other theories have been offered regarding the symbolic heart and its representation of love. While there’s no definitive correlation between love and hearts,

the heart has become an accepted symbol of the emotion and the season of romance. Cupid’s connection to love

Hearts tend to be aflutter on Valentine’s Day, and Cupid just might be the scoundrel behind those starry-eyed feelings. Just who is this arrow-wielding Cupid and how did he become associated with Valentine’s Day? God of love and desire Ancient Greeks and Romans were prolific storytellers and used mythology to explain many of the mysteries of life. Certain feelings and happenings on Earth were attributed to the moods and actions of Gods who presided over the people. In Roman mythology, Cupid was the god of desire, erotic love, attraction and affection. His Greek counterpart was Eros, while in Latin Cupid was known as Amor. According to myth, Cupid was the son of the winged messenger Mercury and Venus, the goddess of love. Cupid’s machinations were often guided by his mother’s hand, and matchmaking remained his most wellknown trait. As time went on and Christian influences pushed out ancient Greek and Roman beliefs, Cupid was seen as an angel of heavenly and earthly love. Cupid could easily be mistaken for many other angelic cherubim portrayed in artwork during the Renaissance period. Eventually Cupid became a popular icon of Valentine’s Day. Cupid’s appearance Cupid has appeared in different ways in

illustrations and other artwork throughout history. Sometimes he is depicted as a winged, chubby infant carrying a bow and a quiver of arrows. Classical Greek art depicts Cupid as a slender, winged youth. The reason Cupid has wings is because lovers are known to be flighty and change their moods and minds with some frequency. He is boyish because love is irrational, and he carries arrows and a torch because love can both wound but also inflame the heart. Cupid has traditionally been portrayed as benevolent, if not mischievous. After all, his goal is to bring two lovers together. His arsenal was equipped with two different kinds of arrows. People pierced by gold-tipped arrows would succumb to uncontrollable desire. Those afflicted by an arrow with a blunt tip of lead desired only to flee.

Chocolate has a long and delicious history.

Valentines FROM PAGE 6

many other blooms find their way into the hearts of excited celebrants as well. Flowers can be used to convey love, friendship, compassion, and desire. In Victorian times, flowers were given specific meanings because only a few exotic flowers were readily available, and many of these meanings have withstood the test of time. The Society of American Florists has compiled the following list of flower meanings from various sources. Most frequently gifted flowers and their meaning: Aster: contentment; Bachelor Button: anticipation; Begonia: deep thinking; Carnation: pink: gratitude; red: flashy; striped: refusal; white: remembrance;yellow: cheerful; Daffodil: chivalry; Daisy: innocence; Gardenia: joy; Hyacinth: sincerity; Iris: inspiration; Lilac: first love; Orchid: delicate beauty; Pansy: loving thoughts; Rose: pink: admiration/appreciation; red: passionate love; red and white: unity; white: purity; yellow: friendship; Zinnia: thoughts of friends. Chocolate historically more than just food

Many cannot resist chocolate, that beloved creamy, sweet confection derived from cocoa beans, milk and sugar. All over the world people love to indulge in chocolate, especially come Valentine’s Day. According to data from Leatherhead Food Research, Switzerland consumes more chocolate per capita than any country in the world. Ireland, the United Kingdom, Austria and Belgium round out the top five. Despite its apparent popularity in Europe, chocolate was first popularized among the Olmecs of Mexico, who used the cocoa beans more than 3,500 years ago. However, it wasn’t until the last 200 years that chocolate turned into the sweet treat that is known and loved today. Aztecs believed cocoa had aphrodisiac properties, and chocolate contains a chemical called phenylethylamine, which is released naturally in the body when a person falls in love. The aroma of chocolate can induce relaxation, and chocolate also contains dopamine, a natural painkiller. Chocolate throughout history:

• Money: The Mayans once used cocoa beans as a form of currency, as did the Aztecs. • Dental health: A researcher at Tulane University, says an extract of cocoa powder could be an effective alternative to using fluoride - Chocolate toothpaste andyone? • Medicine: Chocolate is full of antioxidants, which serve all sorts of disease-fighting benefits in the body. Dark chocolate contains flavonols, which stimulate the brain and support the circulatory system. • Special effects: Legend has it that Bosco brand chocolate syrup was used as blood in the famed shower scene in the classic horror movie “Psycho.” Chocolate has been tempting taste buds for thousands of years.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) There could be some negative reaction to your tough stance when making a recent decision. But overall, your efforts result in well-earned recognition and all that can follow from that. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Your financial situation seems confusing, even for the fiscally savvy Bovine. Maybe it’s the conflicting advice you’re getting. Check it out before things get too tangled to unknot. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) A relaxed attitude goes a long way in helping you deal with any of life’s irritants that might be popping up this week. You’re also a reassuring role model for others in the same situation. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Your aspect favors creativity, which should persuade you to work on your artistic projects. If time is a problem, prioritize your commitments so that your work isn’t compromised. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Scrutinize all the job offers that interest you. Most are honest and worth considering. But a few might not be completely forthcoming about what the job is and what the salary and benefits are. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) An unexpected snafu could delay the completion of a project you’re eager to finish. Find out what’s causing it, fix it, and if you need help, don’t be shy about asking for it. Good luck. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) An idea that could be helpful to you comes from an unlikely source. Listen to it. Discuss it. If necessary, adjust it. If it looks as if it might work out quite well, go ahead and use it. (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) SCORPIO Be careful about allowing someone to share a very personal secret with you. This could cause problems down the line with others who are involved in that person’s private life. (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) SAGITTARIUS A cooling down of a relationship could be the result of neglect, unintended or not. To save it from icing over, you need to warm it up with a large dose of hot Sagittarius passion. (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) CAPRICORN This is a good time to get involved with a number of family matters that involve money and other issues that might jeopardize the closeness between and among family members. (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) AQUARIUS Cheer up. That difficult person who appears to be deliberately stalling your project might just need to be reassured of the value she or he brings to it. (Feb. 19 to March 20) PISCES Good news! Expect to feel re-energized now that you’ve gone through that stressful energy-depleting period involving a lot of changes. Now, go out there and show them what you can do. BORN THIS WEEK: You have a warm, giving nature that inspires many to follow your example.
