By Piya Pillai This October, I had the coveted honor of hosting a German exchange student named Rebecca Tamler, more affectionately known as “Becky.” It was an incredibly interesting and enriching experience, and I am very glad to have been assigned someone I ended up caring for so much. The night before Becky’s flight landed, I had no idea what to expect. When we talked online, all I’d known about her was that she was polite, kind, and really liked chocolate. While I didn’t know what to do with the first two traits, I did compensate by buying copious amounts of chocolate. I didn't know any German at all, and still don’t, which is ironic and ended up being slightly problematic (I kept responding to her in Spanish phrases since that’s what I associated with foreign languages). By Liam Worcheck Whether it be the media or the image that is etched into the public’s minds by delinquents, skateboarders do not have the best social status. This would lead many to believe that a skatepark would only attract trouble. However, some interesting evidence shows that this may not be true. When the Bethlehem Plaza was opened, calls to the police station about skateboarders went down by 80%. I assume this is because young skateboarders without cars were given an easily accessible, safe, and adequate place to skateboard. When you think about it, that isn’t too much to ask judging by the amount of other sport facilities in this county, is it? While there are too many basketball courts or football fields for me to fathom just around my neighborhood, I can count the number of skateparks in the entire county on one hand. The skateboarding community in and around West Reading deserve a real skatepark. Back in 2010, an ambitious JD Turner opened up the local skateshop Holistic. Both then and now only 3 skateparks exist in the county. His goal was to have this changed by 2024. Now more than ever, skateboarders need a real concrete skatepark. Some may see it as a place of trouble, but we see it as an escape. By AJ Newton October is National Breast Cancer Awareness month. It is an annual campaign to raise awareness for breast cancer. Over the years, people have been trying to take bigger steps to raise money and find a cure. My grandmother, who I call “Mom-mom”, was diagnosed with breast cancer a few years ago. Thankfully, after months of radiation and prayers, she survived. |
