This week, we are celebrating National FFA week. FFA is an intracurricular organization for students interested in agricultural careers. Although many people incorrectly call it “Future Farmers of America,” you don’t necessarily have to want to be a farmer to be part of the group. Many students in the organization are interested in careers like entomology, veterinary science, wildlife biology, microbiology, food science, ag business, landscaping, welding, or mechanics.

 

Now for our Ag trivia of the day: The Keystone State ranks first nationally in mushroom production – farmers annually produce more than 570 million pounds of mushrooms.

 

As part of our celebration, we are asking everyone to join us for ONE dress down day TOMORROW. Please wear the FFA colors: blue and gold!

“In today’s news, Jeff Bezos, the world’s richest man, has pledged to spend $10 billion to fight climate change. He said in an Instagram post that he’d give grants to scientists, activists and non-profit organizations in an effort to, “fight the devastating impact of climate change”. Interestingly enough, this announcement has come soon after Amazon’s enormous carbon footprint was revealed to the public.

 

On this day in history in 1885, Mark Twain’s Adventures of Huckleberry Finn was published. The book came as a sequel to Adventures of Tom Sawyer, however it was a lot more serious as it focused on the institution of slavery and life in the antebellum South. The book is considered controversial by many, but still regarded by critics as an American masterpiece.”

The Ephrata Quiz Bowl Team wrapped up their season Monday night with a 2-2 record at the league tournament.  Coming in as the number 8 seed, the team started off the evening with a solid 340-190 win against the Lancaster Country Day Cougars.    This win advanced the team to the next round to face the number 1 seed, and eventual league winner, Manheim Township.  The Blue Streaks jumped out to an early lead and never looked back, defeating the Mounts 560-120.  The team then rebounded with a convincing 480-85 victory over the Garden Spot Spartans.  This win was short-lived, however, as this brought on a match-up with the Hempfield Black Knights, the defending state champion.  Like Township, Hempfield also took the lead early and then finished off the Mountaineers by answering the final four questions, finishing with a score of 400-185.  Congratulations to the five seniors on the team: Chandler Eby, Braden Mulcahy, Khalid Brevli, Payton Miller, and Loi Ngyuen.

In today’s political news, the New Hampshire Democratic primaries have occured and it seems that Bernie Sanders has taken the lead with Pete Buttigieg trailing right behind. Also, candidate Andrew Yang has dropped out of the race as his campaign came to realize that he wasn’t pulling the numbers needed to win the candidacy. His proposal for universal basic income resonated with many Americans, whom he referred to as the “Yang Gang”.

 

On this day in history in 1909, on the 100th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln’s birthday, the NAACP was founded. African American leaders such as W. E. B. Du Bois and Ida B. Wells-Barnett announced the formation of the organization to work towards the effort of gaining more civil rights for African Americans in time of tumultuous struggle. The formation of the organization is sometimes marked as the spark to the Civil Rights Movement that characterized the 20th century.

In today’s news, citizens of Baghdad, Iraq woke up this morning to a sight not seen in over a decade, a city covered in snow. Although it wasn’t much, the city hasn’t seen snow since 2008, and for some, the weather allowed for a brief moment of respite amid the recent chaos of political unrest.

 

On this day in history in 1990, Nelson Mandela was released from prison after 27 years. Mandela is credited as being the leader of the movement to end South African apartheid, a system of institutionalized racial segregation and white supremacy. After his release, Mandela went on to win the Nobel Peace Prize and become South Africa’s president in its first free elections.

Last night Ephrata’s local VFW hosted a dinner celebrating the winners of their audio-essay competition called Voice of Democracy.

Established in 1947, the Voice of Democracy program awards students for writing and recording patriotic essays.

Each year nearly 40,000 high school students enter to compete for their share of 2.1 million dollars of scholarships.

The dinner honored two Ephrata high school students.

Leah Kreider earned second place at the local level and 3rd place in the district

And

AJ Martin earned fourth place at the local level

—————————–

Ephrata’s very own Mrs. Mellinger was also recognized at last night’s VFW dinner.  It was announced last evening that the VFW has named Mrs. Mellinger teacher of the year at the district level.

That deserves repeating:

Mrs. Mellinger is the VFW District Level High School Teacher of the Year!

She will now compete at the state level.

 

Congratulation Mrs. Mellinger!

In today’s news, the Senate has voted to acquit President Trump of the impeachment charges, closing the third presidential impeachment trial in American history. The articles against him were abuse of power and obstruction of justice, and a swift vote from the Republican Senate allowed Trump to walk. Curiously enough, the only Republican to vote guilty on one of the articles was Mitt Romney, calling on his “faith in God” and desire to respect his oath of office.

 

On this day in history in 1952, King George VI of Great Britain dies, crowning Elizabeth II Queen of England. To this day, the Queen upholds her position, which is largely ceremonial rather than political. She’s one of the wealthiest women alive, as she holds extensive real-estate holdings and art and jewelry collections.
