    Shamokin fire bureau will be holding it's annual banquet for firefighters. The honoring of firefighters started in 1911 and this year marks the 100th consecutive banquet

    I think it is really good that they have an annual banquet to honor firefighters. They risk their life every time they go out to fight a fire and really are so brave. They deserved to be praised

    Absolutely, Kayleen! Good point! We can make the world just a little better by thanking those that do great things and firefighters certainly qualify!

mcahs current events article 2 soldier Afghan civilians

    A soldier gets 24 years behind bars for killing Afghan civilians in a "sport" or "game". Also 5 other soldiers are getting 22 or more years for participating.

    So where putting soldiers in Libya to protect the innocent and here we are killing the innocent in Afghanistan.??? Does that make sense?
  • rachel t on 24 Mar 11
     
    The soldiers should be helping the civilians, not killing them.

    This guy should be representing our country the right way. He is making the us look bad. It sounds like he has some problems. Normal people don't go around killing others.

    The soldiers are there to help, not to kill the innocent civilians of Afghanistan. It disgusts me that any human being can kill somebody as a "sport". That is just messed up.

    I understand that killing innocent civilians isn't right. There must be something else behind all this. I dont believe that our soldiers should be put in prison for 24 years or even 22 years just for praticipating. We dont know how innocent these civilians really are.

    You would think soldiers would know better than to do that. They are fighting for us and then we have to talk about them because they do something stupid like this. Ya know what i mean?
  • Angela S on 25 Mar 11
     
    I understand that there are certain people who need to be killed, the people who are doing harm to the civilians are in the wrong. The soldiers are there to kill the bad people, not to make a sick game out of killing innocent people.
  • Suzie Nestico on 31 Mar 11
     
    James has a really good point, here. What if there is a bit more to the story? Was it truly a completely innocent a civilian? (Mmm... maybe I should go in and actually read the story. The conversation surrounding the article definitely makes it more interesting and makes me want to take a further look into it. Nice job, students!

Pope Easter Peace

    During an annual Easter message Pope Benedict the XVI called peace in the Midwest and areas in Africa. The pope also urged the restoration of "peaceful coexistence" in Ivory Coast, where a political stalemate led to violence. The pope also said that young people of Western Nations should work together for a common good. He also said that the people of these nations should build a society where poverty is defeated. Finally, the pope hopes that the victims in Japan will find consolation and hope in the after math.

    It would be nice if his ideas actually became true but they probably never will.

    People do need peace right now. There is so much fighting going on throughout the world that could be stopped.

    Many people have been asking a lot of questions about the death of Bin Laden. One good question i would like an answer to is can we leave Afghanistan now? I wish the war would come to an end so all of our troops fighting in the war can come home and return to there friends and family.
  • rachel t on 04 May 11
     
    I agree. If he's dead then they should start to bring some of the troops home now.
