A Look at the Area's Best Returning Players • THE ACORN NEWSPAPERS PRESENTS • 2018 PIGSKIN PREVIEW A LOOK AT THE AREA’S BEST RETURNING PLAYERS GGREATREAT EEXPECTATIONSXPECTATIONS 60 Years of Service Las Virgenes Municipal Water District ! PAGE 2 PIGSKIN PREVIEW FROM THE EDITOR LET US LIGHT THE WAY nder the glow of the Friday night lights, tales of greatness are written. We’ve witnessed them ourselves. Still, let’s never forget these are just kids playing a game. U The modern high school sport scarcely resembles its early days, when baseball was still America’s pastime and players donned leather helmets. Yet the fi eld remains populated by the same type of individuals who have always been drawn to the gridiron: gritty, tough, fearless, maybe a bit crazy. “Don’t fl inch, don’t foul, hit the line hard,” is good advice for life, President Theodore Roosevelt once wrote. That remains true to this day. The rise of college and professional football to national prominence has had an incredible effect on the high school game, and not for the better. An increasing number of programs have bowed to the pressure to succeed, sacrifi cing tradition (and the rules) for a chance at winning. But the players and coaches we speak to each summer for our annual Pigskin Preview give us reason to hope. They remind us that, with all of the sport’s imperfections, it still has much to offer student-athletes and, of course, fans. Frequently it’s the adults in the room (we’re talking to you, parents) who are giving football a bad name. Too many see the sport as a means to an end rather than a singular opportunity for their sons and daughters to make TABLE OF CONTENTS memories and learn lessons that last a lifetime. There’s nothing wrong with wanting to see your child win a scholarship, but when it becomes the driving 4-10, 14-20 TEAM SPOTLIGHTS force behind every decision, something’s wrong. Comprehensive outlooks for every team in the Acorn coverage area As journalists, it’s our job to prop these kids up; it’s up to their parents and coaches to keep them grounded. The growing sense of entitlement some 11-13 GREAT EXPECTATIONS players bring with them to practice is cause for concern. Football has always Five dynamic returning superstars prepare for their encores been a sport for underdogs, for those willing to fi ght for every yard. When we treat these teenagers like superstars we do them no favors. Let’s remind them that respect is earned, not given, and that their lives will go on long 21 POWER POLL after the game has passed them by. How do the local squads stack up in a hyper-competitive landscape For now, let us all bask in the glow that is football (and keep this handy guide to light the way).

  • A Brexit from Britain Or Europe? an Assessment of Identifications with Europe Among British Expats Living in the Netherlands
    A Brexit from Britain or Europe? An assessment of identifications with Europe among British expats living in the Netherlands Theodore P Stell 5783755 MA International Relations in Historical Perspective GKMV16017 MA Thesis June 2019 A Brexit From Britain or Europe? Theodore P Stell (Cover Photo: Source – Creative Commons) ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Thank you to my supervisor Marloes Beers for all of her academic guidance; as well as a very big thank you to Eli van Dantzig, for all of his help, motivation and mind-mapping, from the project’s very beginnings right to its end, especially during the many hours of proofreading. I must of course thank all of my British expat interview participants. This project really would not have been possible without you. I thank you for your time and hope that my words reflect your stories well and may also offer interesting new perspectives. Page 2 of 218 A Brexit From Britain or Europe? Theodore P Stell ABSTRACT The majority of studies concerning the UK’s Brexit have focused on its impacts on the UK domestic population. However, Brexit is much more than a domestic issue; it is also a unique occurrence in EU history that a member state leaves the EU for the first time. For the 785,000 British expatriates living in the continental EU, Brexit entails the first ever en-masse loss of European citizenship. This may consequent a choice between Britain and Europe, between national and supranational identities. European identity has long been contested, but if expats from the most Eurosceptic EU member state come to feel more European than British, Brexit may prove to be a litmus test for the existence of just such a European identity.
