Tevoca
By JOANNE SPAHR
BROWNSTOWN, Pa. -
What do you do when you
have a vo-tech chapter that
needs a name, but you don’t
want to give it just any old
name? You scramble the
word “vo-tech”, add an
extra syllable for a flourish,
and you come up with
“Tevoca”. At least that’s
what the Future Farmers of
America chapter at
Brownstown Vo-Tech did,
and they’ve used the results
ever since.
That chapter, comprised
of juniors and seniors in
terested in horticulture and
floriculture from six schools
around Lancaster County,
held its annual awards
banquet last Tuesday
evening.
J. Richard Wood, coor
dinator for Brownstown Vo-
Tech, noted that although
many of the students from
the chapter were not “farm
bred” they have an interest
in a form of agriculture and,
therefore, take part in the
FFA.
Since the chapter is
comprised of both hor
ticulture and floriculture
students, two sets of awards
were handed out during the
devening. The two Star
greenhands were: Millie
Becker, Ephrata, a junior at
Ephrata Area High School
and chaplain of the morning
classes, and William
Alberte, Reinholds, a junior
at Cocalico High School as
Now is the season
for artichokes
NEWARK, Del. - April is
the peak season for ar
tichokes, says Extension
food and nutrition specialist
Marguerite Krackhardt.
They are often available
year-round, but prices will
be more moderate in season.
Chose artichokes that are
firm and fresh-looking,
advises Ms. Krackhardt. A
few brown spots on the
leaves won’t matter. Wash
them thoroughly and pull off
any coarse outer leaves.
Cook the artichokes in
lightly-salted boiling water
for 30 or 40 minutes, turning
occasionally to assure
uniform cooking. Add a little
salad oil and lemon juice to
the cooking water. They are
done when a leaf pulls out
easily. Drain upside down.

FFA hands out hort, floriculture awards
well as the chaplain for the
afternoon classes. The
floriculture star chapter
farmer went to Charlene
Miller, Ephrata K 3, a senior
at Cocalico High School and
president of the afternoon
grc.p; and Darryl Weid
man, Lititz, a junior at
Warwick High School. -
Darryl is also the morning
group’s president.
Both Darryl and Bill also
took foundation awards for
excelling in special areas of
horticulture. Bill received
the forestry proficiency
award, and Darryl earned
the ag sales and service
honor for starting his own
leathercraft business.
In floriculture, the foun
dation ornamental hor
ticulture awards went to four
young ladies. Normally, only
two awards are given, but
this year, the chapter
members displayed such
excellence that the amount
was doubled.
The four floriculture
winners were: Felicia
Gordner, a junior at Garden
Spot High school from
Narvon Rl; Caroline
Becker, Lititz, a junior at
Warwick High School;
Colleen Nolt, East Earl R 2, a
junior at Garden Spot High
School, and Cathy Bowers,
Lancaster, a junior at
Manheim Township High
School.
Both a floriculture and
horticulture student
received the Lancaster
Artichokes may be served
hot or cold, with a sauce.
Some people like lemon
butter, but you may wish to
try Hollandaise, sour cream,
or mayonnaise. Provide
each person with an in
dividual dish of sauce.
Tackle your artichoke one
leaf at a time. Pull off a leaf,
dip its fleshy base into the
sauce, and scrape off the
meaty part with your teeth.
Eat only the meaty part and
put aside the rest.
The closer you get to the
center of the artichoke, the
meatier the leaves will be.
Finally you’ll come to the
core-like center called the
choke. Cut it out carefully
and don’t eat it. The choke is
well-named.
County I'.anker’s Award.
Those students were Cindy
Shreiner, Lititz Rl, for
floriculture, and Frederick
Christman, Lancaster, for
horticulture. The county
banker’s award goes to the
outstanding senior in the
chapter.
Other Tevoca chapter
members honored during the
evening were: Kris Hanley,
Kim Sanders, Patti Ream,
James Slater, Judy Brenner,
Cornelia Eden, Sherry Fritz,
Tammy Eckert, Deb
Richardson, Floretta
Retallack, and Deb
Finefrock. These students
received greenhand degrees.
Chapter farmer degrees
went to Rowena Shumate,
Diannalea Nolt, Tina Angle,
and Linda Rodgers.
