Your hometown beat

Valentine’s Day 2014: Feb. 14Expressing one’s love to another is a celebrated

custom on Valentine’s Day. Sweethearts and fam-ily members present gifts to one another, such as cards, candy, flowers and other symbols of affec-tion.

Opinions differ as to who was the original Valen-tine, but the most popular theory is that he was a clergyman who was executed for secretly marrying couples in ancient Rome. In A.D. 496, Pope Gelas-ius I declared Feb. 14 as Valentine Day.

Esther Howland, a native of Massachusetts, is given credit for selling the first mass-produced valentine cards in the 1840s.

The spirit continues today with even young chil-dren exchanging valentine’s cards with their fellow classmates.

Candy1,148: Number of U.S. manufacturing establish-

ments that produced chocolate and cocoa products in 2011, employing 35,538 people. California led the nation with 122 of these establishments, fol-lowed by Pennsylvania, with 109.

440: Number of U.S. establishments that manu-factured non-chocolate confectionery products in 2011. These establishments employed 19,198 people. California led the nation in this category with 56 establishments.

$13.5 billion: The estimated value of shipments in 2011 for firms producing chocolate and cocoa products. Nonchocolate confectionery product manufacturing, meanwhile, was an estimated $8.4 billion industry.

3,320: Number of confectionery and nut stores in the United States in 2011.

Flowers15,307: The total number of florists estab-

lishments nationwide in 2011. These businesses employed 66,165 people.

$280,357,058: The value of imports for cut flow-ers and buds for bouquets in 2013 through Octo-ber. The total value of fresh cut roses as of October 2013 was $354,703,231.

Jewelry23,394: The estimated number of jewelry stores

in the United States in 2011. Jewelry stores offer engagement, wedding and other rings to couples of all ages. In February 2013, these stores sold an estimated $2.8 billion in merchandise. The mer-chandise at these locations could well have been produced at one of the nation’s 1,385 jewelry-manufacturing establishments.

‘Please be mine’29.0 and 26.6 years: Median age at first marriage

in 2013 for men and women, respectively.52.7 percent: The overall percentage of people

15 and older who reported being married.68.6 percent: Percentage of people 15 and older

in 2013 who had been married at some point in their lives — either currently or formerly.

36.9: The provisional rate of marriages per 1,000 people performed in Nevada during 2011. So many couples tie the knot in the Silver State that it ranked No. 1 nationally in marriage rates. Hawaii ranked second with a marriage rate of 17.6.

2.1 million: The provisional number of marriages that took place in the United States in 2011. That breaks down to nearly 5,800 a day.

74.5 percent: The percentage of women who married for the first time between 1990 and 1994, who marked their 10th anniversary. This com-pares with 83 percent of women who married for the first time between 1960 and 1964.

6.2 percent: As of 2009, the percentage of cur-rently married women who had been married for at least 50 years. A little more than half of currently married women had been married for at least 15 years.

Giving love a second chance19.4 percent: Among people 15 and older who

have been married, the percentage of men and women, who have been married twice as of 2012. Five percent have married three or more times. By comparison, 75.4 percent of people who have ever been married have made only one trip down the aisle.

8: Median length, in years, of first marriages that ended in divorce.

3.8 and 3.7: The median time in years between divorce and a second marriage for men and women, respectively. However, the two medians are not statistically different from each other.

9 percent and 7.9 percent: Among people 15 and older in 2009, the percentage of men and women, respectively, who had married twice and were still married.

Looking for love393: The number of dating service establish-

ments nationwide as of 2007. These establish-ments, which include Internet dating services, employed 3,125 people and pulled in $928 million in revenue.

Name: Becca Herrmann.Nickname: Beck.School: Hall High School.Date/place of birth: July 25,

1996/Spring Valley.Hometown: Spring Valley.Family: Parents: Pat and

Charlotte; sisters: Ellie, Anna, Kerri.

Sports: Cross country, basket-ball, softball.

Favorite sport and why: Basketball, because it’s such a quick game and gives such a rush of adrenaline.

Likes: Sports, Oreos, my friends and family, summer, superfanning, traveling.

Dislikes: Winter, polar vor-texes, orange juice, closed-mind-edness.

Favorite food and where to get it: Tomato basil gnocchi from Verucchi’s. They are not on the menu but you have to try them!

Person with the great-est influence on my athletic career(and why): This is hard but probably coach Earley because she’s been with me all four years and taught me a lot about basket-ball and just life in general.

Person with the greatest influence in my life (and why): Probably my dad because he made things happen for himself and has accomplished a lot.

If stranded on a deserted island, I would have my: swim-suit, sunscreen, sunglasses, a beach ball, and unlimited supply of water so I could stay forever.

Last song I listened to: The Guap — by Big Sean.

People would be surprised to know: Our family is huge Packer fans. The first letters of each of my family members names spell out “Packer.” (Pat, Anna, Charlotte, Kerri, Ellie, Rebecca).

I stay home to watch: Friends.

When I need luck for a big game, I: always put my right sock on before my left and sit in the same spot on the “senior couch.”

The funniest person I’ve ever met (and why): Any of my sis-ters or uncles/aunts, because I can be fuming mad and they can put a smile on my face.

What they’ll say about me at school after I graduate: “Remember that girl that was always screaming her head off at games and talking to us even though we won’t wanna talk. She was crazy.”

Most embarrassing moment: Oh boy, I have too many to count let alone remember all of them.

Most unforgettable moment: Beating St. Bede in regionals my sophomore year and seeing how happy the seniors were when we won the regional championship.

Ultimate sports fantasy: To tackle Eddie Lacy even though I would be pummeled.

What I would like to do in life: Major in secondary education and eventually administration. I’d like to be an athletic director.

Three words that best describe myself: Fun-loving, energetic, weird.

BCR photo/Dan DwyerHall senior Becca Herrmann said people would be surprised to know her family is such huge Packer fans that the first letters of each of family member’s names spell out “Packer.” (Pat, Anna, Charlotte, Keri, Ellie, Rebecca).
