  • Junior Livestock Shows and Educational Contests, but We Have Been Forced to Adjust the Shows and Contests Offered This Year
    Welcome! We are celebrating the 72nd San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo and are delighted to have you here as our guests and contestants! The San Antonio Livestock Exposition, Inc. is a volunteer organization emphasizing agriculture and education to develop the youth of Texas. Our 6,000 volunteers and an outstanding staff are the ones who make this show possible. We have faced a few challenges building up to this year’s show, but we continue to have the same level of devotion to our youth. We typically offer a wide assortment of junior livestock shows and educational contests, but we have been forced to adjust the shows and contests offered this year. All of these provide youth an opportunity to showcase their livestock knowledge and skills in a competitive environment. Scholarship winners will join a special group of scholars. Currently there are 1,500 active S.A.L.E. scholars enrolled in more than 100 colleges and universities throughout Texas. Since the inception of our show, we have provided over $223 million to the youth of Texas in the form of scholarships, grants, endowments, auctions, calf scramble and show premiums. My deep appreciation and thanks to the Livestock Committee Chairman, Sarah Franklin; Vice- Chairman, Jason Walker; Ag Mechanics Committee Chairman, Marcus Demel; Ag Mechanics Committee Vice-Chairman, Lawrence Padalecki; Livestock Director, Dr. Brian Faris; Livestock Manager, Joslyn Jones and all the Livestock and Ag Mechanics Volunteers. Your commitment and enthusiasm are what make it all possible.

  • © 2016 Sarah F. Sahn
    © 2016 Sarah F. Sahn FANTASIES OF CITIZENSHIP: ADOLESCENCE AND TEMPORALITY IN YOUNG ADULT LITERATURE BY SARAH F. SAHN DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English with a minor in Gender and Women’s Studies in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2016 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Richard T. Rodríguez, Chair Professor Stephanie Foote Associate Professor Kathleen McDowell Professor Kathryn Bond Stockton, University of Utah Abstract This project examines how the figure of the adolescent is represented, constructed, and disciplined as a potential citizen in young adult (YA) literature at the end of the twentieth and beginning of the twenty-first centuries. Engaging the field of children’s and YA literature through queer and feminist theory, I analyze how the adolescent’s proximity to, but inability to fully inhabit, normative adulthood disrupts totalizing narratives of development and citizenship. Queer theory has recently attended to the question of childhood through highbrow and adult literature and culture, perhaps most notably in Lee Edelman’s No Future (2004) and Kathryn Bond Stockton’s The Queer Child (2009). Conversely, childhood studies and children’s literature have engaged feminist and queer theory, but have not yet attended fully to the potential of adolescence for theorizing alternatives to what José Muñoz calls “straight time,” the orderly procession of marriage and reproduction dictated by the norms of white middle-class respectability. Drawing on Muñoz’s work on utopia and Stockton on queer childhood, I complicate recent conversations on queer temporality, community, and the queerness or anti-queerness of the child.

  • Saint Ann's Library 2019 Suggested Summer Reading List for Students
    Saint Ann’s Library 2019 Suggested Summer Reading List th th for students entering 7 & 8 grades Check out e-books all summer long! See instructions on the last page of this list. If a book is available through our digital library, its title is shaded. FICTION Acevedo, Elizabeth. The Poet X Xiomara is a secret poet. She feels invisible to her church-going mother and too visible to the world as a Dominican teenage girl. She fights for herself, for her twin brother, for her right to have crushes and question religion and maybe, just maybe, to share her poetry with the world. Naturally, it’s written in verse—or really, slam poetry. Adams, Douglas. The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy And now for something completely different: Arthur Dent is the last surviving human, rescued by Ford Prefect of the planet Betelgeuse. What follows is a whacky intergalactic romp with lots of British humor and a healthy dose of philosophy. Adeyemi, Tomi. Children of Blood and Bone The king of Orïsha has banned magic and killed Zélie’s Reaper mother. Now Zélie has one chance to defeat the crown prince, who wants to obliterate magic. Full of friendship, love, betrayal, and a strong sense of justice, this epic fantasy is not to be missed. Warning: You might have a hard time waiting for the next one (coming in December). Albertalli, Becky. Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda A smart, sweet coming-of-age coming-out masterpiece. Chapters alternate between 16- year-old Simon’s emails with an unknown admirer and his everyday life at school.

  • One of the Biggest Rock Events of the Summer “Rock in Haapsalu 2017” Will Bring the Greatest Rock Legends of the World to a Small Town
    One of the biggest rock events of the summer “Rock In Haapsalu 2017” will bring the greatest rock legends of the world to a small town. One of the biggest rock music festivals “Rock In Haapsalu” will take place on 28–29 July 2017 at Haapsalu Castle. The two-day festival will bring the best of the rock classics from here and abroad to the magical small town. Every time something takes place in Haapsalu, it somehow makes its way into peoples’ hearts and minds. What happens in Haapsalu leaves nobody indifferent, as the town has its own character, its own aura. Haapsalu is old and ancient. Legendary. In every sense of the word. And the same is true for whatever takes place in Haapsalu. It becomes an indelible memory, it remains within us. Haapsalu is almost the only place in Estonia besides Tallinn that sees regular performances by international megastars and related events. This is because people love visiting Haapsalu and the events are always highly anticipated. Now, something great is once again in the air, something that will be Haapsalu’s very own. On the two days of the festival, visitors can enjoy and cheer on performers whose unforgettable hits have conquered music charts and the hearts of fans all over the world, have been a part of our youth, and meant so much to us at one point. Timeless hits that neither time nor the onslaught of new music has managed to erase from our hearts. The two-day trip of nostalgia will take you back to your youth, a time when you listened to your favourites’ music from vinyl records and tape recorders, when your walls were decorated with black and white photos of your idols.
