Brian Williams: Telling the Truth By Elizabeth Martin

Recently Brian Williams, an NBC news reporter was suspended for six months without pay. In previous news reports, Williams did not tell the truth. One of his stories about Iraq claimed the military helicopter that he was in was hit. The real story is that the helicopter in front of him was shot. Another exaggerated story was about Hurricane Katrina in 2005. He said that he saw a floating body out of his hotel window. This did not happen. On February 4, 2015, he made an apology to his viewers. The problem is that people do not believe he gave enough of an apology. If you ever become a news reporter, it is very, very important to tell the truth because otherwise people will not trust you. If they don’t trust you then they won’t read your newspaper or watch your news show.

Global Warming Is Having A Huge Impact On Sea Turtles

By Emily Rubenstein and Amanda Brille

Scientists believe the Earth’s temperature is changing too fast for the sea turtles to adapt. The rise in the Earth’s temperature is believed to be the result of global warming, which is caused by burning too much fossil fuel. The burnt fossil fuels, like gasoline in cars, gather in the Earth’s atmosphere and trap the sun’s warmth, causing the Earth’s temperature to rise.

Many species of sea turtle, such as Kemp’s Ridley, Flatback, and Leatherback are predicted to become extinct as a result of global warming. For one thing, the increase in temperature in nesting beaches is already having a big impact on the sea turtles. Sea turtles depend on the temperature of the sand, because the temperature in which the eggs incubate will determine whether the hatchling will be a girl or a boy. The eggs laid in the cooler part of the nest will be a boy, and the eggs laid in the warmer parts of the nest will be a girl. Scientists are worried that because of the Earth’s rising temperature, there will be more female sea turtles than male sea turtles. If global warming continues for much longer, scientists fear there will be no male sea turtles to fertilize the eggs, making reproduction impossible. Another problem is that the increasing temperature is causing the currents to change. The sea turtles’ food is ending up in places that the sea turtles can’t get to. If the sea turtles can’t find their prey, they will starve. So, unless human beings take global warming seriously and find a way to stop it, sea turtles are in danger of becoming extinct.

The Spring Equinox By Ronan Zwa

Equinox An equinox is a celestial event that occurs when the earth’s equator passes directly below the sun’s center. An equinox occurs twice a year: the vernal equinox in March, and the autumnal equinox in September. When an equinox occurs, day and night are almost equal in length. In reality, however, the day is a smudge longer than the night, because the very first rays of the sun arrive on the earth’s surface by bending down through the atmosphere, even while the sun is still 0.4 degrees below the eastern horizon. By the way, there are also solstices. The summer solstice in June is the longest day of the year, and the winter solstice in December is the shortest day of the year. We have the equinoxes, the solstices, and the seasons, because the earth’s axis is tilted 23.5 degrees. So, in June, the northern hemisphere of the earth is tilted 23.5 degrees toward the sun, and the southern hemisphere away from the sun by the same extent. The tilt toward the sun warms up the northern hemisphere, so it experiences summer. But at the same time, the southern hemisphere receives a lot less sun, so it experiences winter. Scientists believe that the earth got knocked off its kilter by the planet. They're about 4.5 billion years ago. Incidentally, the moon formed as a consequence of this “Giant Impact.” Vernal Equinox Did you know that the spring equinox is also called the vernal equinox? “Ver” is the Latin word for spring. In 45 BC, Julius Caesar established his calendar, and set March 25th as the spring equinox date. But the old Julian calendar had a small error that made its year slightly longer than the actual year. So, the date drifted gradually, and it finally settled on March 21st on the modern calendar. The vernal equinox was significant to the ancient people, because it marks the start of planting season. The day marks the official change of season, and the time when day and night are equal. The modern people continue to hold this day in high regard. For example, the Japanese celebrates the Vernal Equinox Day on March 20 or 21 as a national holiday. Conclusion This year’s vernal equinox is on Friday, March 20th, and though it is not a holiday in America, have fun!

Mardi Gras By Ella Rosoff

On March 2, 1699, a French-Canadian explorer named Jean Baptiste Le Moyne Sieur de Bienville arrived at an open plain 60 miles south of New Orleans, Louisiana. They named it "Pointe du Mardi Gras" when his men realized it was the eve of the festive holiday.

Celebrating Mardi Gras

People celebrate the holiday in many ways, but in New Orleans, they eat "King Cake." " King Cake" is a bread cake, topped with colorful sprinkles and icing. Also on the holiday, people throw stuff like beaded necklaces and doubloons, which are aluminum coins in different colors.

Origins of the Holidays

The Origins of Saint Patrick's Day By Samantha Pepper

Even though St. Patrick is the patron saint of Ireland, he was not born in Ireland. He was born in Wales. His real name was Maewyn. When he was 16, he was kidnapped by Irish raiders and brought to Ireland as a slave. When he grew up, he converted to Christianity, and became a missionary. One of the famous myths was that he drove the snakes away from Ireland, but there were no snakes in Ireland because it was too cold for the snakes to even travel to Ireland. Another myth was that he used the shamrock to show the Holy Trinity of Christianity. On March 17th, people started wearing the shamrock as a sign of their Irish pride and their religion. It was also in honor of St. Patrick's death on March 17, 461. Later this changed in to wearing green clothing on that day. The first parade for St. Patricks Day actually started in America. That was the history of St. Patrick who is not actually a leprechaun!

Zollipops By Hanna Buczkowski-Levy

Zollipops were created by Alina Morse, a young girl born in Michigan. Alina was inspired by a trip to the bank with her dad when the teller offered her a sucker. Alina’s parents always told her that eating sugar was not the best for her teeth. Alina wanted to make taking care of her teeth more fun and easier for her friends and family. Her mom liked the idea a lot and wanted o make it happen Alina was determined to follow her father and make a difference in the process of making something healthy but yummy. Alina asked the simple but important question “Dad, why can’t we make a Lollipop that is good for your teeth?.” Together, the two set off to find different ingredients that were good for the Zollipops. After lots of thinking, Alina and her dad started sharing these new Zollipops that they finally made with friends and family, “the rest is history in the making.” “You’ll enjoy the taste and love the smooth, clean feeling Zollipops deliver as they help bring a healthy and refreshing taste to your mouth!” Alina said. Zollipops were also featured on Shark Tank kids and Good Morning America!

Girls Who Rocked The World By Maeve Zimmer

There were many great men in history but there were also many great women. Most men you probably know, for instance Leonardo Da Vinci and King Tut. We don’t hear about as many women, though you may have heard of women like Amelia Earhart and Cleopatra. However, there are some important women you may not know, including Elisabeth Vigée-le Brun, a painter from France, and Bessie Smith, a singer from the U.S. Of course there were queens and princesses, but mostly they were famous because they were born into royalty. Some were great like Queen Elizabeth I. There was however, an amazing woman inventor that everyone should know: Ruth Wakefield! Her amazing invention was the marvelous chocolate chip cookie! This miracle happened in 1930. This invention was, like a lot of inventions, a simple mistake. One day Ruth, who owned a bakery with her husband, was making a batch of cookies that called for melted chocolate in the batter. But she was in a rush and just broke the chocolate into chunks, thinking that they would melt. Thankfully they did not, and after baking they were still in chunks that speckled the cookie. When she tasted them, she thought they were delicious! Her customers also thought so too. That was the beginning of the chocolate chip cookie. Other inventions by woman are the ice cream cone (created in a female-run factory), the school desk (Anna Breadin), the windshield wiper (Mary Anderson), and the lifesaving fire escape (Anna Connelly). We should all thank them, for these girls rocked the world! Amazing girls and women can be found in your everyday life. They don’t have to be ancient or have changed our world or invented stuff because they are still important. Some great women could be your mom or a teacher or just someone you meet. This message is to my mom, who rocks my world!

Everglades National Park By Ronan Zwa

Did you know that the Everglades National Park protects the southern 20% of the Florida Everglades? That is a lot, considering that the Everglades comprises the largest tropical wilderness east of the Mississippi River and is the largest mangrove forest in the Western hemisphere. The Park receives about a million visitors a year, and it is home to many endangered species. It is home to 36 endangered species—including the West Indian Manatee, the American Crocodile, and the Florida Panther. Many other wildlife species call the Park home, too: 350 bird species, 300 freshwater and saltwater fish species, 50 reptile species, and 40 mammal species. That is 740 different species all living, more or less harmoniously, in the Everglades. Despite its immense size and its intimidating appearance, the Everglades is a fragile wetland that is prone to drying up, either due to natural causes or because people drained the swamp and used the dried-up land. So in 1934, President Franklin D. Roosevelt established the Everglades National Park, in order to save the Everglades or at least a part of it. The park covers more than 1.5 million acres of the wetland. Speaking of the Everglades, let us talk a little about its geology.

Geology

In Southern Florida, the land is very flat. And underneath the topsoil is not the usual rocky hardness, but soft, porous limestone. This limestone base is key to the large variety of ecosystems that lie within the Everglades. You see, the porous nature makes limestone the ideal vessel to hold the water necessary to form the wetland. Sometime between 100,000 and 15,000 years ago, the Florida Peninsula emerged out of the shallow sea. This strip of land was mostly coral and seashells, when it was under water. And over time, the coral turned into limestone. The Everglades, and indeed much of Southern Florida, would not exist, had the sea not receded and given way to land.

Conclusion

I hope that Bullis students will, some day, have the opportunity to visit the Everglades National Park, and see in person the striking landscape and the diverse wildlife that live upon this strange and wondrous land.

National NewsRosa Parks’ Early Life

By Clarke Alexis Norman Rosa Parks was sick for most of her childhood, and was very tiny. Her mother and father decided to separate and then her mother took her brother and Rosa to live in Pine Level, Alabama. Rosa lived on her grandparent’s farm until she was eleven and was home-schooled by her mother. She then went to public school. Rosa didn’t graduate because she took care of her dying grandmother and her ill mother. At nineteen, she married Raymond Parks, who was ten years older than she was. She finally received her high school diploma at age 20. Long before the bus boycott, Rosa was a civil rights activist. In 1933, she started recording everything that happened to African Americans. Her husband was a member of the NAACP and Rosa joined the Montgomery chapter, later becoming the chapter secretary. She also worked with Edgar Daniel Nixon, who was the chapter president and a railroad porter. They worked together as advocates to register blacks to vote. These are some of the interesting and little known facts of Rosa Parks.

Don't Get Your Hopes Up! Why Not To Enter The Lottery

By Robbie Hays It is almost impossible to win the lottery; it is more likely for you to die because of a vending machine crushing you (1 in 112 million) or having identical quadruplets (1 in 15 million). Oh, and the lottery? The odds of winning the Powerball lottery jackpot is 1 in 175 million. You are more likely to get injured by a toilet!!! Recently, in Maryland, 2 people won $1 million dollars each on Wednesday, February 11. The jackpot, which was split by 3 people in other states, almost broke the record with a $564 million prize, very close to the $656 million record from three years ago. Pennsylvania tops the list of lucky states according to the Multi-State Lottery Association. Seventeen winning jackpot lottery tickets have been sold there. In 2012, Pennsylvania sold almost $3.5 billion worth of lottery tickets. If you want to enter the lottery, buy your ticket in Pennsylvania!

High School Citizenship Test By Xander Arnold

Arizona is the first state to pass a law that will require all high school seniors to take a citizenship test before graduation. The test is made up of 100 questions about the U.S Government and history. Students have to get 60 out of the 100 questions correct in order to pass. Many other states are in the process of passing this same law. The goal is to have all 50 states on board. Here are a few of the questions on the test. Would you be able to pass this test?

1. If the President and Vice President are unable to serve, who will become President? 2. Who wrote the Declaration of Independence? 3. Who was President during World War I?

Lower School Musicals Hannah Gluckman & Brianna Zigah

2nd Grade: The name of the 2nd grade play is called “Clever Jack Takes the Cake”. It is being performed Monday, March 9th at 9:00 a.m.. Mr Alexander chose this play for the 2nd Grade because he said it is a “delightful tale about the importance of staying positive, and about the power of a good story.” I am excited to watch this play.

3rd Grade: The name of the 3rd grade musical is “The No Rules Club.” It’s being performed on March 18th at 2:00 pm. Mrs. Cohen chose it, because she likes the message of needing rules. She also like the emotion-filled music and how it’s about kids being kids.

4th Grade: The name of the 4th grade musical is “Go West.” It’s being performed on March 13th at 2:00 p.m. One reason it was chosen is because the 4th grade students learned about pioneers and different regions of the country. I haven’t seen it yet, but I can’t wait!

5th Grade: The name of the 5th grade musical is “Alice in Wonderland.” It is being performed on April 14th at 1:30 pm. Mrs. O’Neill chose this play because she said that she did it with a talented group of 5th graders a few years ago and this year she has a very talented group of students again. I haven't seen it yet, but I think it will be good because my sister (Nina Zigah 17’) did this play when she was in 5th grade with Mrs. O’Neill.

Let’s Go Yankees, Let’s Go! And Don’t Forget About the Nats!

By Will Gawronski Get ready for the MLB season, which begins in early April, only a handful of weeks away! I

expect the Yankees and the Nationals to make it to the playoffs. Many commentators aren’t expecting much from the Yankees this season after they failed to make it to the playoffs last season. However, I think the Yankees might surprise them and even win the World Series because they are getting Alex Rodriguez, who is 39 years old and one of the best shortstops in baseball history, back from a suspension. Some people think “A-Rod” isn’t going to be in a key position and will just be a designated hitter because he is too old. However, he is young compared to Minnie Minoso, who played his last Major League game when he was in his 50s, and Satchel Paige, who was nearly 60 when he pitched his last major league game. A-Rod’s lifetime stats are 654 home runs and 1969 RBIs. Also, Masahiro Tanaka is a star pitcher and just 25 years old. Last year in mid-season, the rookie sensation was injured and will return to the Yankees this season. In just half of a season, Tanaka had an amazing 2.77 ERA with 13 wins and only 5 losses. In a full season, Tanaka could possibly win the Cy Young Award for the best pitcher of the American League. In the National League the team to look at is the Nationals. Last year, the Nats made the playoffs but failed to make the National League Championship Series. This year I expect them to at least make the NLCS and possibly the World Series. The Nationals have the best pitching in the MLB since the late 1960s Baltimore Orioles, when they had Jim Palmer, Mike Cur and Dave McNally. Outstanding pitcher Max Scherzer, who has already won a Cy Young award, just joined the Nationals from the Detroit Tigers. He joins ace Stephen Strasburg, who also has a lifetime 3.02 ERA, and Jordan Zimmerman, who finished last season with a no hitter--I was lucky enough to go to that game! In addition to this outstanding pitching, the Nats have great hitters as well, including Anthony Rendon, Bryce Harper and Ryan Zimmerman. The Nationals and the Yankees are both outstanding teams!

March Madness By Luke Bookoff

March Madness is a college basketball tournament. An impressive total of 68 teams participate in the tournament! The tournament is a single elimination tournament. The first couple of games are on March 17th. The championship game is held on April 6th in Indianapolis, Indiana. The tournament's nickname is March Madness because it is held in March and it is a lot of fun. Last year's champion was The University of Connecticut. The University of Maryland won in 2002. UCLA has won the most tournaments, eleven. Oregon won the first tournament in 1939. I can't wait for March Madness to start!

ReviewsA Day at CPK!

By Luke J. LaMotta California Pizza Kitchen or CPK for short, is my all time favorite restaurant. I think the food is

delicious, especially their signature dish, PIZZA! But the cleanliness could definitely be better in some parts. The décor is very nice and simple with a touch of the Italian spice. The ambiance is vibrant. They have a limited amount of selections to choose from on the menu so if you don’t want pizza, I suggest you go somewhere else. The pricing is mostly reasonable, at least that’s what my Mom says. The noise level is typical for a family restaurant. The server is always nice and rarely forgets an order unless he or she has already taken a lot of orders, then we can’t blame them. If they say your food will come quickly they’re not lying to you. CPK is a great place for kids too because they even have a game-filled kid’s menu. I really liked CPK and I hope you do too!

The Last Dog Series, Book 3 By Kayla Mao

The Last Dogs is a great series. In the third book, The Long Road, three dogs, Max, Rocky and Gizmo, who understand human speech, try to find a cure for a virus. They run into many challenges along the way. Readers will have to read on, and into "Book 4" to find out what happens with the search. This book is full of adventure and danger and is good for ages eight (strong readers) and up.

The Bad Weather By Zoe Ferguson

On Sunday, March 1, 2015 there was a big mess of sleet, rain and even a little snow. The next day, March 2nd, the rain was completely frozen, so the road and driveways were very slippery and unsafe to drive on. That’s why schools were closed. It’s really cold and every once and a while it gets windy...even the tree branches are frozen! But as it gets warmer, some of the ice will melt and turn to slush. Weathermen said on the news it will get above freezing, but it will probably take a little while to melt all that nasty ice. So stay inside, and stay warm.

Bullis Balance By Julian Christensen

“Achieving Excellence through Balance” is one of Bullis’s main slogans. The slogan means that at Bullis you achieve excellence by doing Academics, Arts, and Athletics on a daily basis. For example, in the Lower School, Math, Language Arts, Social Studies, Foreign Languages, and Science fall into Academics. P.E. is Athletics. Finally Art, Music, Instrumental Music / Chorus, and the grade musical fall into the Arts category. In Middle School at Bullis, you have to do the same academics as in Lower School but you can choose between Latin and Spanish for Foreign Languages. You also have to go to art, play an instrument or participate in Chorus. You take a sport in each trimester in Middle School at Bullis (with an exception of having the choice to act in the MS musical in the winter trimester). In Upper School Academics you have many more specific classes that you can choose from. You need to do a sport or activity (Community Service or the Musical, for example) in each of the trimesters. You can choose visual arts in Upper School. That means that you have the wonderful opportunity to enjoy Academics, Arts, and Athletics throughout your years spent at Bullis and explore new talents and interests. Bullis constantly encourages students to try new classes and courses. For example: you are a Lower School student and have never played basketball in your life. You come into P.E. and the basketball unit is going on. You might be dreading it. But you start to like it more and more until you are great at it and eventually become the captain of the basketball team in Upper School! At Bullis, you are not constrained to focusing on just one talent. You could be the captain of the varsity soccer team while being a fantastic sculptor or an amazing photographer. Bullis not only offers a variety of subjects, but they also combine classes! In the Lower School we had a dance unit in January in P.E. even though dance falls into the Arts category. In third grade, dance was combined with science in their dance, and in fourth grade they learned about the Philippines and presented their culture through dance. Another combination experience I had at Bullis was when I needed to write an acrostic poem about STEM in science class. I am balanced at Bullis because I get the experience of having math, language arts, social studies, science, Spanish, art, the fifth grade musical / music, chorus, and P.E.. I love how we have each subject almost every day and how we learn to not only appreciate but also improve at all subjects. But the best part of balance is that I find new talents in myself and get better at the various classes all at once. Balance will prepare us all for college and life! Therefore, I think Bullis is the most balanced school in the Washington D.C. area!

Parent And Child Valentine Candy Making Class

By Troy Wisnosky On February 14th 2015, I had a chance to go to L’Academe de Cuisine to participate in a parent/child Valentine’s Day candy-making class. L’Academe de Cuisine is a cooking school where you go into a room and the chef and his assistants have everything set up for the class! Our chef was Joel Olsen. He was funny and made the class a good time. My mom and I got to make fun treats like chocolate nut clusters, coconut squares, cream cheese peppermint hearts, pecan pralines, white chocolate raspberry bark, and chocolate truffles. My favorite treat was the caramel corn because it was scrumptious. L’Academe de Cuisine is located in Bethesda MD.

Caramel Corn ½ cup butter

1 cup brown sugar

¼ cup corn syrup

½ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon vanilla

10 cups popped popcorn

Preheat oven to 250F. Put butter, brown sugar, corn syrup and salt in a pot and bring to boil while stirring. Cook about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and add vanilla and baking soda while stirring. Place the popped corn on a greased cookie sheet. Drizzle the sugar mix over the popcorn. Bake 1 hour, stirring every 20 minutes. When done, move popcorn into a bag before caramel sticks to pan. If you forget to move it, simply put back in oven for a few minutes.
