Phil apparently did NOT see his shadow last Saturday and his handlers stated
the groundhog had forecast an early spring. For a groundhog, Phil is surprisingly accurate.
According to
LiveScience
, multiple generations of "Phils" have predicted
103 forecasts of more winter
and 17 early springs.
As Data from the Stormfax Almanac shows, Phil's predictions have been right a whopping
39 percent of the time
.
Not bad for a groundhog!

QUILTS OF VALOR PRESENTATION
The Quilts of Valor Foundation was started by a woman named Catherine Roberts,
whose own son was deployed to Iraq.
It literally began with a dream she had, which resulted in her gathering three of her own friends who were quilters.
The first quilt was awarded in 2003 at Walter Reed Army Hospital, to a young soldier who had lost his leg in Iraq.
It has since evolved into a National
organization,which seeks to cover all veterans with a warm and comforting quilt. There are thousands of volunteers across the country creating these beautifully handmade quilts.
|
|
To date there have been over 209,000 quilts awarded.
It is the goal of the Quilts of Valor Foundation to cover veterans affected by war with a warm and comforting quilt.
The program originally was called
“Quilts for Soldiers” because Catherine
did not realize that not all veterans are
called soldiers. The name was then changed to quilts of Valor, and even this name throws people off.
Veterans are very humble human beings, and when asked if they’ve ever been awarded a quilt of Valor,
they all say the same thing like
"I didn’t do anything to deserve this
award, please give it to someone
more deserving."
The public is cordially invited to attend the
Quilts of Valor presentation on
Friday February 15, 2019
at the American Legion Hall Post 193
here in Chapin, located at
102 Lexington Avenue.
The ceremony will begin promptly at
7:00 p.m. with light refreshments served immediately after.
This will include our own Mayor David W. Knight, who will be accepting this award in honor of his father.

The Chapin Historical Association (CHA), in concert with the Town of Chapin and the South Carolina Department of Archives and History (SCDAH), embarked on the formal nomination process to secure a National Register designation for the Chapin Commercial Historic District.
The National Register designation is primarily an honor bestowed by the State and the Federal government.
The proposed district includes ten buildings located in the downtown area along Beaufort Street, Clark Street, Lexington Avenue and Chapin Road.
On February 4th, CHA invited the public to Chapin Town Hall for a public information session at 6:00 PM to introduce the project and answer questions from those in attendance.
This meeting was very well attended.
More information to follow.

The National Register designation is primarily an honor bestowed by the State and the Federal government. In a 2016 Opinion letter provided by the SCDAH stated:
"… It appeared that the composition of the district has changed relatively little since at least 1934. There are a few instances of non-historic infill but, for the most part, the buildings that remain represent the core of Chapin's historical commercial center. That the district retains its historical composition was particularly important given its relatively small size. When considering whether these few buildings represented an eligible district, it was important for us to understand that Chapin's commercial district was always small in size and so what remains is largely what existed historically."

NATIONAL PERIODIC
TABLE DAY
|
National Periodic Table Day is observed annually on February 7th.
To understand the development of
the periodic table, we first must
understand the discovery of elements
and their effect on science.
Elements known to ancient man were few. Gold, silver, copper, iron, lead, tin,
mercury, sulfur and carbon were the earliest known elements.
These were all known prior to the
1st century A.D.
Over time, arsenic, antimony, phosphorus and zinc were discovered.
By 1809 there were 47 discovered elements.
One of the earliest attempts to organize
the elements was by Johann Döbereiner
in 1817. He organized elements into groups of three, or triads,
based on similar qualities.
On February 7th, 1863, English chemist John Newlands published one of the first table of elements, which divided the known 56 elements into 11 groups based on the “Law of Octaves.”
This suggested that any one element will have similar properties to elements eight places before and behind it on the table.
Arranging the elements according to increasing atomic weight, Newlands was one of the first scientists to detect a pattern to the properties of elements.
As a result, his table left room for new discoveries, predicting future discovered elements would complete the table. Newlands correctly predicted the
discovery of Germanium.
|
|
While parts of Newlands periodic table had flaws, so did other later proposed tables.
In 1869 chemist Dimitri Mendeleev published a paper developing a periodic table arranging the elements also based
on atomic mass. By this time only 60 of the over 100 elements we know today were discovered.There were also some inaccuracies attributed to some of those elements. While Mendeleev corrected some of these inaccuracies, he made assumptions about others causing elements to be placed incorrectly on the table. Like Newlands, Mendeleev predicted discoveries as well. He correctly predicted the properties of five elements and their compounds.
The discoveries throughout Scot William Ramsay’s career from 1892 to 1910, along with John William Strutt, Morris Travers and Frederick Soddy led to the identification of the noble gasses. Ramsay was awarded a Nobel Prize in 1904 for discovering five elements.
Henry Moseley, an experimental physicist, contributed to the development of the modern periodic table when he discovered in 1913 that each element has a specific number of protons. As a result, four new chemical elements were later found, though not during his lifetime.
Since the early 20th century there have been very few significant changes to the periodic table. The 21st century is still young, though and some researchers have suggested new approaches to the periodic table while maintaining its integrity as one of the most valuable tools in the science of chemistry. The current table tallies a total of 118 elements.

NATIONAL FETTUCCINE ALFREDO DAY
|
National Fettuccine Alfredo Day is observed annually on February 7th.
Alfredo di Lelio, an Italian restaurateur, created Fettuccine Alfredo in 1908.
After his wife had given birth to their first son that year, she did not have an appetite. To help encourage her to eat,
he created a dish of noodles, cheese and butter. She liked the dish so much that she thought he should put it on the menu
at his small restaurant in Rome.
Everyone around the world has been enjoying this dish ever since.
Today it is one of the most popular pasta dishes in America.
HOW TO OBSERVE
HISTORY
We have learned the history of Fettuccine Alfredo. However, research has failed to find the creator of this day.
A special update from the Grandson of the founder of Fettuccine Alfredo
History of Alfredo Di Lelio, creator in 1908 of “Fettuccine All ‘Alfredo” (Fettuccine Alfredo), now served by his nephew Ines
Di Lelio, at the restaurant “Il Vero Alfredo” – “Alfredo Di Roma” in Rome,
Piazza Augusto Imperatore 30
"With reference of your article (for which I thank you), I have the pleasure to tell you the history of my grandfather Alfredo Di Lelio, who is the creator of “Fettuccine all’Alfredo” (“Fettuccine Alfredo”) in 1908 in the “trattoria” run by his mother Angelina in Rome, Piazza Rosa (Piazza disappeared in 1910 following the construction of the Galleria Colonna / Sordi).
|
|
This “trattoria” of Piazza Rosa has become the “birthplace of fettuccine all’Alfredo”. More specifically, as is well known to many people who love the “fettuccine all’Alfredo”, this famous dish in the world was invented by Alfredo Di Lelio concerned about the lack of appetite of his wife Ines, who was pregnant with my father Armando
(born February 26, 1908). Alfredo di Lelio opened his restaurant “Alfredo” in 1914 in Rome and in 1943, during the war, he sold the restaurant to others outside his family. In 1950 Alfredo Di Lelio decided to reopen, with his son Armando, his restaurant in Piazza Augusto Imperatore n.30
“Il Vero Alfredo” (“Alfredo di Roma”),
whose fame in the world has been strengthened by his nephew Alfredo and that now managed by me, with the famous “gold cutlery” (fork and spoon gold) donated in 1927 by two well-known American actors Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks (in gratitude for the hospitality). See also the website of “
Il Vero Alfredo”
.(with news also about franchising). I celebrate every year (as this year) in my restaurant (founded by my grandfather Alfredo Di Lelio) the USA Holiday of. fettuccine all’Alfredo (February 7).
I must clarify that other restaurants “Alfredo” in Rome do not belong to the family tradition of “Il Vero Alfredo –
Alfredo di Roma”. I inform you that the restaurant “Il Vero Alfredo –Alfredo di Roma” is in the registry of “Historic Shops of Excellence” of the City of Rome Capitale.
Best regards Ines Di Lelio"
