4-H youth from across Nebraska competed in the 2021 Life Challenge and Premier Animal Science Event (PASE) on University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s East Campus on June 17-18. Many Lancaster County 4-H’ers participated.
4-H Life Challenge contests focus on Family and Consumer Science project areas. Fifteen Lancaster County 4-H’ers formed four teams. Teams applied information they had learned during the county contest, a prep session and through their 4-H projects to bring solutions to real-life problems. During the Foods & Nutrition Challenge, teams developed a plan to help a family who was food insecure. During the Design Challenge, teams designed an additional space for the East Campus Union in 2035 to encourage social connections, mental well-being and educational needs. The final challenge, Adulting, tasked each team to prepare a weekly schedule and monthly budget for a college student.
At PASE, 4-H’ers participated in poultry judging and livestock judging. The Poultry Judging Contest consisted of two classes of judging hens for past production, oral reasons on a production hen class, grading eggs, grading ready-to-cook poultry and identification of ready-to-cook parts. The Livestock Judging Contest consisted of ranking classes of four animals from the most to least desirable. Classes included market and breeding beef, sheep, meat goats and swine. Youth also gave oral reasons to judges to defend their reasons for ranking the animals.
The 2021 Governor’s Agricultural Excellence Awards were announced during the event. The awards are sponsored by the Nebraska 4-H Foundation and Nebraska Investment Finance Authority (NIFA). Each year, 25 Nebraska 4-H clubs are awarded $500 to be used as described in the award application form. The following Lancaster County 4-H clubs received 2021 Governor’s Agricultural Excellence Awards:
• Five Star 4-H’ers
• Fusion 4-H’ers
• Joe’s Clover Knights
• Lancaster County 4-H Teen Council
• NE Equestrian
• Southern Lancaster Kids
• Unified Showing
Lewes Bonfire Night
The Bonfire Night celebrations at Lewes in East Sussex are particularly impressive, with five competing bonfire societies, parades and firework displays. Lewes writer and historian David Arscott outlined the anti-papal origins of the Lewes Bonfire.
The strength of feeling behind the event is 19th-century in origin but the celebrations refer to events of half a century before the 1605 Gunpowder Plot, namely the persecution of Protestants in the reign of Queen Mary I. In the 1550s, 'Bloody Mary' launched a furious campaign against the Protestant church established under her father, Henry VIII.
Nationally 288 Protestants were burnt at the stake, 36 of them from Sussex. Seventeen of the executions were in Lewes and it is these martyrdoms which are commemorated. The most famous martyr was Deryk Carver, a Brighton brewer who has a pub named after him in Brighton. One night in 1554 the Sussex sheriff, Edward Gage, broke into Carver's home, which was also the brewery, and in an upstairs room found a dozen men engaged 'in prayer, saying the Service in English as set forth in the time of Edward VI'. The men were arrested, tried and burnt at the stake at Lewes.
Bonfires are 'bone fires' - burnings at the stake. In the reign of James I it was the disappointment of pro-Catholics at James's failure to re-establish Catholicism that led to the Gunpowder Plot. After the plot was foiled, the King ordered celebrations throughout the land - bells were to be rung, prayers said and garrison guns fired. Effigies of popes were also burnt. Pope Paul V, the pontiff who took over in the year of the Gunpowder Plot, is a favourite figure often burnt in the Lewes fires. In the late 18th century the celebrations all got rather out of control.
The anti-Catholic feeling in Lewes began again in 1850, the year that Pope Pius IX, by the Bull Universalis Ecclesiae, restored the Catholic hierarchy in England. The hierarchy had come to an end during the reign of Elizabeth I, with the death of the last Marian bishop. Now the hierarchy was re-established with Westminster as the principal see. The Archbishop of Westminster became, in Roman Catholic eyes, the lawful successor of the Catholic archbishops of Canterbury. There was considerable anger in non-Catholic circles. The ill-feeling ran quite high within the Anglican church, some members of which feared a takeover, and also because within the Church of England there was the growth of Oxford High Church Movement - led by Pusey, Keble and Newman - which was active in Sussex, particularly in Brighton.
