Page 3 Teen Court members help offenders get, stay on right path By Taylor Conley Knock! Knock! It’s gavel-time! Some TPA students choose to spend their pre- cious time attending Guadalupe Teen Court every Wednesday after school. Unlike other teen courts, GTC is not as- sociated with any particular school and welcomes students from all over the area. Guadalupe Teen Court consists of case- days and non-case-days. On a day without hearings, we may meet lawyers or judges. On one occasion, Dani Delgado, TPA’s speech and debate coach, led a presenta- tion on the USA’s foreign affairs, particu- larly about US-Iran tensions. Presentations Guadalupe Teen Court members prepare to hear cases. like these help crystallize events like these for people who do not understand.

The Girl Scout Gold Award is the highest award Girl Scouts can earn and demands hard work from dedicated girls. Girl Scouts are required to come up with a sustainable project that helps the community in some way. Scouts are honored with a spe- cial pin and a trophy to commemorate their achievement. Junior Sierra Smith has recently applied for her Girl Scout Gold Award after eight years of being a Girl Scout. She has been working towards the award for a little over a year. For her project, Sierra made a wind tunnel. She spent 120 hours, 40 over the minimum re- quirement, to earn her award. In these hours, she planned her project, made her design, Sierra Smith demonstrates her wind tunnel, which helped her win the Girl Scouts Gold Award. created blueprints, made lesson plans, and posted videos on how to recreate her project.

  • By: Kylie Worrell
    By: Kylie Worrell This October is something else, which doesn’t seem too out of place given what’s happened in 2020 so far… but there are a couple things that are a bit unsettling and alarming, possibly, headed our way. Firstly, did you guys know there is another outbreak in China? According to CNN and other television broadcasting systems, there is an outbreak of a bacterial infection called “ Brucellosis”, after a leak in a biopharmaceutical factory back in 2019. This infection has affected thou- sands now, as it is livestock that normally carries Brucella, which means it could possibly be in the meat that is packaged and shipped over to the U.S.. Most say it is very much similar, if not the same as Mediterranean fever, which can cause fatigue, muscle pain, nausea, headaches and high fevers and sometimes these symp- toms never subside, they can swell the organs and it can lead to many complications including death. Human to human transmission is rare, but be careful around livestock and the meat you eat. https://www.health.com/condition/infectious-diseases/brucellosis-outbreak-china?amp=true https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2020/09/17/asia/china-brucellosis-outbreak-intl-hnk/index.html Next, do not panic! As we all know, election day is November 3rd, 2020. Ironically, there is an asteroid on course to collision, if not very close to collision, with us. As of now, NASA has not said much besides on twitter and local news sta- tions. National news stations have gotten word of this and have exploited it.

  • Like a Wrecking Ball: Gillian Welch and the Modern South
    LIKE A WRECKING BALL: GILLIAN WELCH AND THE MODERN SOUTH Jason Kirby A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS August 2006 Committee: Dr. Jeremy Wallach, Advisor Dr. Bill Albertini ii ABSTRACT Dr. Jeremy Wallach, Advisor This thesis explores the work of “alternative country” music performer Gillian Welch in the context of modern-day Southeastern American regional identity. Gillian Welch, along with her accompanist and songwriting partner David Rawlings, has been known since the mid-1990s for making spare acoustic music which incorporates elements of early country and string-band music, bluegrass, gospel, rock, punk, and folk music. Her songs’ lyrics obliquely address themes of change and continuity central to the Southern roots music she draws upon. Welch has been celebrated as an innovator in the “alt.country” scene, but her detractors have labeled her as inauthentic, due to her status as a woman raised in privilege in California performing music most commonly associated with Southern working-class people. The authenticity debate surrounding Welch is particularly relevant considering the shifting boundaries of Southern regional identity following latter 20th century industrialization and re-migration to the area. Having first established the social and historical context to the debate, in this thesis I argue that Gillian Welch’s music opens up traditionally limited definitions of what it means to be Southern in modern America. Welch’s work proves that it is possible to use the region’s past as a tool to understand its present situation, without sinking into a sort of white nostalgia.
