Letter from the Editor
AGING TREE ILLUSTRATED
began in February of 2014. Now, marking our
one-year anniversary, we celebrate the belief
and hope that we’re making a difference in
Volusia County and helping you, the reader,
through our wonderful writers and messages.
corey shenk, editor in chief
A song lives in our mind, but a moment of
real understanding shows itself occasionally.
Understanding our place in the world and the
people we have the good fortune of engaging
with in life often loses its true value (and is
nearly impossible) if one isn’t truly paying
attention. A moment of clarity bread from another can last a lifetime. However, conveying
what’s in our mind is sometimes hard to do,
and transferring heartfelt thoughts to paper
can be even more difficult.
On the one-year anniversary of this publication, this first “letter from the editor” is very
important to me. What exactly is this paper,
and who or what is here for you? Well, it all
starts with those that put their heads down to
make it happen.
I feel so enriched and fortunate to have the
opportunity to know our writers and staff
here at Aging Tree Illustrated (ATI). We work
hard to put together thoughtful, quality editorials, illustrations and educational pieces.
In addition, we work hard to bring you relevant advertisers that have the same beliefs
and ethics as we do – those that work hard to
earn your business.

Sometimes we don’t see the light from the
dark. Sometimes we don’t see the proverbial
forest from the tree: I feel fortunate to have
more moments of clarity these days than not.
Searching my thoughts for this, my first letter from the editor, was important to me. It’s
my truth. I want to be completely transparent
regarding what ATI represents, and on my
behalf, I want you to know that the design of
our message is so very important to us.
We take great responsibility in our product,
and the message we truly believe combines
that of conveying knowledge, overcoming
life challenges, the pursuit of happiness, and
more––All things that touch us and affect us
when we allow the opportunity and we are
really paying attention.

From the Roots
2014 brought a great evolution of this publication: from birth, to crawling, to walking, and
now running – in just 12 months. We continue
to receive so many compliments from all of
you, and I for one want you to know that we
heard each and every one. It tells us we are
moving down the right path and have made
choices that were for the right reasons. Now
this doesn’t mean we’re content! As with any
endeavor of this nature, you’re always trying
to improve. I’d like to encourage our readers
to email me or call me with any questions,
comments, suggestions, or concerns at anytime. Knowledge and growth cannot be received without feedback.
In 2015, we have adjusted our format slightly and we are very excited about the ease of
readership, the lightness, enjoyment, and the
educational opportunities we have planned.
Aging Tree Illustrated has evolved, and in
2015 we are committed first to a positive, happy approach to editorial and content. I want
our readers to feel good when they read ATI:
I want you to smile. We have also committed
ourselves to more pictures and graphics that
help the human eye smile. After all, we all are
more visual that we think!
In closing, I would like to say thank you to
our readers, advertisers, and staff. It is such
an honor to be surrounded by you. 2015 looks
very bright, and as a publication we will always try to recognize those moments of good
fortune, of engagement with our readers
through our writings and of conveying the
true value that is our life here and now.

Will You Be My Valentine?
A History of Valentines Day
W
hat do ancient Roman
religious rites, Papal
edicts, medieval beliefs, and English poets have to
do with one of America’s favorite holidays? Quite a lot! While
today Valentine’s Day is a time to
celebrate romance and love, the
holiday’s origins are remote and
its purposes murky. Although
the Catholic Church no longer
officially honors a St. Valentine,
archaeologists have uncovered a
catacomb and church dedicated
to a martyr of that name, historians acknowledge that Valentine’s Day has both Roman and
early Christian roots.
I (494–96) abolished the ritual,
but whether he replaced it with
anything else is disputed.
The Christian origins of Valentine’s Day are also shrouded
in mystery. Around 197 C.E., a
Christian bishop, Valentine of
Interrama (now Terni) was martyred in the reign of Emperor
Aurelian. Little is known of his
life, but that he was supposedly imprisoned, tortured
and beheaded in Rome
for his Christianity on, according to tradition, February 14th, probably a later addition to the growing
legend of St. Valentine.
ON THE WAY TO THE
ROMAN FORUM
In about 289 C.E., a second
Valentine, a Christian priest
or bishop, was martyred
under Emperor Claudius.
He was apparently arrested
for giving aid to prisoners.
While in jail, Valentine converted his jailer when he restored the
sight of the man’s daughter. According to another version, he is
said to have fallen in love with
the daughter, sending her a note
saying “From your Valentine.”
One source of our 21st century
‘spend fest’ is the ancient Roman religious festival of Lupercalia, dedicated to expunging
evil spirits and purifying Rome,
releasing health and fertility. It
was observed on February 13th
through 15th, and, led by the
Luperci, a holy order of priests,
a goat and a dog were sacrificed and eaten, and salt meal
cakes prepared
by the Vestal
Virgins were
burnt.
Some
argue for that
more
licentious activities
took
place,
but scholars,
using sources
from antiquity, refute those
connections,
emphasizing
Lupercalia’s
links to fertility
and safe birth
Rome’s Lupercalia pagan festival
deliveries.
By the 5th century C.E., public
observance of pagan rites was
outlawed by Rome’s now Christian emperors. However, the Roman populace, although nominally Christian, still clung to the
Lupercalia festival. Pope Gelasius
A good story, but discounted by
historians. This Valentine was
supposedly executed like his
namesake on February 14th, a
coincidence also doubted.
EUROPE AND
SHAKESPEARE IN
LOVE
It was the French who boosted
the holiday’s association with romantic love. In medieval times,
handmade paper cards became
the gift of choice of French aristocratic gallants emboldened by
courtly
love to send to
their beloved. Moreover, supposedly on St. Valentine’s Day
the French opened the ‘High
Court of Love’ in Paris to attend
to cases of the heart: marriage
contracts, divorces, infidelity,
and beaten spouses. And in 1415, it
was a French noble who sent the
first recognizable
Valentine card to
his wife. Charles,
Duke of Orleans,
penned the missive while he was
imprisoned in the
Tower of London,
England’s
infamous jail for the
famous and unlucky. As a high
level asset, Charles
was
ransomed,
and unlike St. Valentine died decades later of old age.
Receiving a bit more credit for
our present-day Valentine’s Day
celebration is Geoffrey Chaucer,
the 14th century English poet
famous for writing the Canter-

bury Tales. So argues Dartmouth
English Professor Peter Travis,
citing Chaucer’s poem
The Parliament of
Fowls, which drew
on a belief in Europe
that birds chose their
partners in the middle of February. The
poem explores the ideals of cosmic order, political order, and erotic
desire. Finally, Nature
encourages all her birds
to choose their appropriate mates.”1 Or, as Chaucer put
it,
“For this was on St. Valentine’s
Day/
When every fowl cometh there
to choose his mate.”
But Chaucer meant this for the
birds!
It was William Shakespeare, in
his play Hamlet, in 1601, who
linked St. Valentine’s Day to

in 2013. Total spending reached
about $17.3 billion in retail sales.
Men spend twice as much on
gifts for their significant others
as women.
Kohl’s Plaza-Orange City
A personal note with a thoughtful message would mean much
to a special someone. But probably the celebration will play on…
at least until the next special day
designated for gifts and card…
When is Mother’s Day?
To be your Valentine.”
In Will’s time, references
to the romanticized holiday were common, and
the celebration became
increasingly popular in
Britain and Europe.
THE POSTAL SERVICE AND MASS
PRODUCTION
By the mid-1700s, in
England, the passing of
love-notes was popular,
and some made cards of
lace and paper. In 1797,
The Young Man’s Valentine Writer was published with suggested
rhymes and messages.
As postal service grew
more affordable, the
anonymous St. Valentine’s Day card became
popular. By the early 19th century, cards were so popular that
factories started to mass-produce them.

Cards from the 1920s
ST. VALENTINE’S
DAY IN AMERICA
In 1847, Esther Howland of
Worcester, Massachusetts, received an English Valentine, inspiring her to design her own
and to sell them through her father’s stationery store. In 1879,
Esther Howland formed a partnership with Edward Taft, head
of his family’s enterprise, the
New England Valentine Company. In 1881, in an early example
of industry consolidation, the
New England Valentine Company combined with the Whitney
Valentine Company. Despite
competition from the Hallmark
Card Company which opened
in 1910, the Whitney Valentine
Company prospered. It was the
largest greeting card business
in the world until 1942, when
a World War II paper shortage
caused its liquidation.
promoting Valentine’s Day as a
time for giving a special piece of
jewelry, and another “tradition”
took off. By 2010, an estimated
one billion Valentine’s Day cards
were sold, making it the second
most card-heavy celebration after Christmas.
Today, the holiday is even bigger
business: According to market
research firm IBIS World, Valentine’s Day sales reached $17.6
billion in 2014; this year’s sales
are expected to total $18.6 billion.

But Valentine’s Day in 2015 celebrates more that romantic relationships; consumers also honor
their family members (59.4%),
friends (21.7%), teachers (20.4%),
and colleagues (12.1%). Interestingly, about 19.4% of Americans will buy gifts for their furry
friends.
For some commercialization has
ruined the day. But consumers,
according to Helen Fisher, a sociologist at Rutgers University,
only need to stop buying cards
and candy to return Valentine’s
Day to its less commercial state.

Pet Service Quick Tip
“If your dog jumps on your guests when they enter your home,
there’s a simple trick that can correct that behavior, but it takes
practice and some cooperation from your guests. Before you let the
guests in the house, tell them that Fido will likely jump on them
because he wants to play. Tell them to turn their backs and give
no attention. He will keep trying, but they can keep turning their
backs. Eventually, Fido will sit on the floor, and at that moment (the
sooner the better), the guests should shower Fido with the love and
affection and praise he’s craving. Eventually he’ll learn that sitting
politely gets him what he’s after.”

What is Love?
A
February
calendar
tends to be decorated with cupids and
red hearts, chocolate and
roses - symbols of romance
and love in our society today. These markers serve to
remind us men that we had
better come up with some
thoughtful way of letting
our spouse know that we
love and appreciate them.
There is a problem though,
and that is that I can use the
word love to talk about my
favorite team, a beloved pet,
my first choice for lunch, or my
spouse, “I love my wife”. Love
is a many splendored thing, but
it has a long list of definitions, as
broad as it is long.
There are some languages that
seem to understand the importance of having several different

has the idea of
emotional love.
While AGAPE
emphasizes the
complete giving of love to
another
person,
PHILEO
emphasizes the
affection, emotion, a fondness
one person has
for another.
3. EROS: Eros
refers to love between a husband and wife.
It is more than love making, because it also includes
embraces, longing, and caring.
4. STERGO: Stergo primarily
refers to love between parents and children. It sometimes refers to love between
people and their ruler and
also to love between a dog
and his owner.
LOVE
x
words to be able to articulate
the particular kind of love one
is wanting to express. In Greece,
for example, there are four major categories of the word love:
1. AGAPE: It has the idea of a
person giving all his or her
love or favor to another.
2. PHILEO: This Greek word
Other words for love, in Greek,
combine different words to
make a special point. The meanings of these words are here
briefly given.
AGAPETOS: Beloved or loved
one.
ASTORGOS: Without love.
PHILADELPHIA: Brotherly
love.
PHILANTHROPIA: Love for
mankind
PHILEMA: A kiss.
PHILIA: Friendship love.
PHILOS: A love for a friend or
relative.
PHILOSTORGOS: Tender love
or affectionate love.
An impressive list indeed. And
any guy would feel well qualified to woo his sweetheart with
such a bouquet of words as this
in hand.
The Bible’s New Testament
was written in the Greek language and uses several of these
meanings for our word love.
By Loren Fish, LCSW
The most prominent of these is
the word Agape, which is used
a total of 259 times as a verb or
as a noun. Philos and Phileo occur 54 times. Eros and Stergo
do not occur at all in the New
Testament. So let’s take a closer
look at this word agape. One of
the texts that uses this form of
the word love is found in John
15:13, where Christ, speaking
of himself says, “Greater love
has no one than this, than to lay
down one’s life for his friends.”
A couple of years ago a father
and his adult son who was disabled, were taking their daily walk along the ocean road,
when a car careened towards
them, out of control. George
Tyson, 61, pushed his son Garry out of the path of the oncoming car, but took the full impact
himself. He was killed almost
instantly. His 32-year-old son
was airlifted to hospital and later discharged after being treated for minor injuries and shock.
What a heroic act by a father for
a son he loved dearly.
2012, in a movie theatre in Aurora, Colorado, when James
Holmes opened fire, three boyfriends leapt to cover their girlfriends, shielding them from
harm with their bodies, and
thereby saving them, at the cost
of their own lives. This showed
a greater kind of love, than just
romantic.
Dr. Librescu was a professor
at Virginia Tech in April, 2007.
When a gunman began to open
fire on random people. By holding the door shut, the seventysix-year-old Romanian teacher
managed to stop the gunman
from forcing his way into the
classroom, but in doing so, he
was shot 5 times himself—including a fatal bullet to the head.
All but one of his students managed to escape with their lives.
We might find it easy to risk
our lives for someone we cared
about, yet what if you didn’t
even know the person you are
putting your life on the line for?
Do you remember January
13th, 1982? Air Florida Flight
90 had smashed into in icy Potomac river, in the middle of a
snowstorm, and all but six passengers were killed. Some 20
minutes later, a helicopter arrived to rescue survivors. After
getting one man to safety, the
helicopter threw a life-ring to
Arland Williams, Jr of Atlanta…
who immediately gave it to the
passenger next to him in the icy
water. He continued to do this
until only he was left and when
the helicopter returned for him,
he had drowned.
What prompts someone to do
such selfless acts, even for perfect strangers. In this season of
red hearts and red roses, let us
look beyond the romantic love,
and begin to add to our lives the
kind of love that is empty of self.
I Corinthians chapter thirteen
(the love chapter) describes this
kind of love.
1 If I speak in the tongues of
men or of angels, but do not
have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2
If I have the gift of prophecy and
can fathom all mysteries and all
knowledge, and if I have a faith
that can move mountains, but
do not have love, I am nothing.
3 If I give all I possess to the
poor and give over my body (as
a martyr), but do not have love, I
gain nothing.
4 Love is patient, love is kind. It
does not envy, it does not boast,
it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it
keeps no record of wrongs. 6
Love does not delight in evil but
rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
8 Love never fails.
13 And now these three remain:
faith, hope and love. But the
greatest of these is love (agape).
(NIV).

For example, there are two popular ways of reducing the amount of money
you owe in taxes: deductions and credits. These two options are similar but
deductions reduce the amount of money that is taxable, while credits reduce
tax liability—the amount of tax a person owes in general. It’s a subtle but
important difference. Deductions are limited by the taxpayer’s liability, while
credits may not be limited by that liability, and so may earn you a tax refund.
For more information, please call our office and we will be happy to answer
any questions you may have.
