NLI February 2019 Signing
Two Marist High School senior football players participated in a National Letter of Intent signing ceremony on Wednesday, February 6 in the school's RedHawk Theater. The event confirmed their plans to continue their academic and athletic careers at the college level.
Caleb Burrell, a two-year starter on the defensive line, will attend and play for Truman State University in Kirksville, Mo., where he will study computer science. Voted team captain for his senior season by his teammates, Burrell was also an East Suburban Catholic Conference (ESCC) all-conference selection for 2018. He finished his senior season with 50 total tackles, 6.5 tackles for loss, 4.5 sacks, and one interception. His career stats include 98 total tackles, ten tackles for loss, six sacks, one forced fumble, and one interception. Head coach Ron Dawczak '93 described Burrell as a humble, high character player who served as a great example to younger players. "He was an unquestioned leader of our defensive line," Dawczak said. "His strength allowed him to anchor against the run while his quickness also made him a dangerous pass rusher."
Justin Marshall, a long snapper for the RedHawks, will attend Concordia University in Mequon, Wis. Marshall worked extremely hard as a specialist and was instrumental to the team's success this past season. He did not have a have single bad snap on 22 punts and 52 PATs. Dawczak said Marshall brought positive energy each and every day to practice and was trustworthy enough to work on his skills each day in practice without a true position coach. Additionally, Marshall contributed in practice every day during team sessions as the spotter for the coaches. He plans to study biology.
During their two-year varsity stint, Burrell and Marshall were part of a tremendously successful run for Marist which included a 23-3 overall record and a perfect 14-0 conference record. The program competed in two state quarterfinals and one state semifinal.
More commitments are expected as the school year continues. Marist is a member of the competitive ESCC and its athletes and teams regularly garner success at the local and state levels.

I made a very yummy sweet and sour stir-fry for dinner last night; the point of me telling you this is that it had fresh pineapple in it. The reason for me stating this is- I didn't need a whole pineapple.
I remembered this recipe that I pulled out of the YOU magazine (4 March 2012) that comes every Sunday in the Daily Mail. These are made without butter and egg yolks so they are semi-healthy for you!! Do I dare call them low fat?
They are very moist and dense and will keep for a couple days according to the article. My Mini-Baker didn't really like them because they do have a different texture. I really enjoyed them though, even if they can only be eaten one at a time! This recipe makes 10 'buns.' Enjoy!!
Mix the flour, baking powder, and sugar together in a large bowl.
Mash the pineapple in a food processor or as I did with my stick blender thing that I used to make baby purees'- it shouldn't be liquid but a puree with texture.
Add all the wet ingredients to the dry. Pineapple, juice, egg whites, vanilla, and zest. Stir until just combined.
Fold in the cherries or raisins.
The mixture is very sloppy so you will need to brush the inside of your paper cases with a little veggie oil.
Carefully spoon the mixture into the cases. I used an ice cream scoop. You can fill them up (not to the top) because they won't raise much.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the tops are a light golden brown and they are slightly raised.
While they are cooling- gently heat the jam in a saucepan and once loosened sieve into a bowl. Then brush the tops of each bun with the jam to glaze them.
Sprinkle the poppy seeds over the tops and leave to set for 30 minutes to allow the glaze to set.

Nature Walk: On the evening of August 14, 2013 a small group of 14 people went on a nature walk. The walk began at the Resource Centre and was led by Liz and Ralph Sheppard. Liz and Ralph are well-known for the vast knowledge of the natural world. Starting from the Resource Centre the group walked up the Hillhead brae then turned right down the lane to Miller's old mill. On reaching the Kinnycally road the group turned left and headed back to St Johnston. On the way Ralph and Liz pointed out the various plants/flowers and ferns growing in the hedgerow which included the following: Marsh woodwort; rosebay willowherb; mugwort; angelica; cow parsley; meadowsweet; figwort; tufted vetch; knapweed; bush vetch; wood sorrel; liverwort; navel wort; bracken fern; rustyback fern; broadbuckler fern; heart's tongue fern; polypody fern. We also came in contact with some butterflies, moths and a buzzard that came to take a closer look! We all learnt a little about the growing along our hedgerows that we so often see only as "weeds". Hedgerows are wildlife sanctuaries for birds, insects and invertebrates. They are a rich heritage that needs to be protected and preserved. We returned to the Resource centre and ended with a short prayer. Thanks to Liz and Ralph for sharing their knowledge with us and thanks to all who participated on the walk. By Oliver McCrossan

Binnion Mass Rock: The Binnion Mass Rock Committee thanks sincerely all who helped in their annual 'walk, talk and prayer' to the Rock which raised €1155 for Sliabh Glás Community Group Home Letterkenny. Here is some local tradition about Binnion written by Rev Philip Lynch. "During the famine there was a man passed up the road and farther up he was found dead and nobody knew who he was or where he was going. Hugh Lynch of Binnion used to oblige people by carting their dead to the graveyard in his donkey's cart. When his people had the fever he was not allowed to come in but could leave the goods on the window – this was for fear he would get it but he did not. When talking about the famine the tears even in old age used to run down his face. He said it would have taken a tear from a stone. He was around twelve or so then. The biggest 'basting' he ever got was from his Mother who had diligently enquired of him where he had got 'the bonny gooseberries'. He got them from somebody's bush. He was made go back and leave them under the bush he had pulled them off. He bought Binnion in the early eighties of the nineteenth century for £160 from Philip Lynch."
The Gathering: St Baithin's Cemetery Mass will take place on July 7 at 4 pm.

History Links: The History Links Project has produced a new book called Forging Friendships that was launched by Joe Mahon in NWRC recently. Members and supporters of the Monreagh Group have contributed chapters. Here is an excerpt from Mary Crossan's contribution. It gives us a glimpse of St Johnston in the sixties. "There was a cinema where people went to see the pictures. It was held in the Hibernian Hall at St Johnston, Chapel Road where the Resource Centre is now located. The Hibernian Hall was very small building but able to hold seventy to eighty people. And underneath the stage was a storage area where the band equipment was kept.

Website: Does anybody wish to contribute information on the Glentown Slate Quarry, St Johnston for www.stjohnstonandcarrigans.com? Here is an excerpt of what we have. "The earliest mention of slate quarrying in the St Johnston area comes from 21st October 1786. The quarry was made up at Ardagh and it was let out to slate manufacturers. There was controversy at the time because rather than one hole several holes were opened and moves were put in place to try and stop this. Complaints had been made about damage done to the area. At the time, slating was becoming more and more popular and the demand was there. Those who had a bit of money preferred to have their houses slated for convenience and safety. The risk of fire in thatched houses was well-known. Though the St Johnston and Carrigans area wasn't too badly affected by the famine, the quarry up at Glentown St Johnston was used to raise funds towards famine relief. The quarry was closed shortly after the famine. The quarry was active again throughout most of the 1930's and in 1940 it was closed down."

Down by the River: A new play is always special; and the Voice of Older People are delighted to announce that a new One Act Play will be premiered on the 8th of April 2013 in the St. Johnston Carrigans Resource Centre and then embark on a tour of East Donegal and Border areas throughout early April. The new play, called "Down By The River" is a project supported by the Reconciliation through the Riverine Project which is managed by Donegal County Council in collaboration with Strabane District Council and funded by the International Fund for Ireland, the project developed from work in reminiscence theatre undertaken by the Voice of Older People Donegal, and we offer an open invitation for all to come and view the production for Free.
Maura Logue, of Dark Daughter Productions has written this specially commissioned Play "Down By The River". Maura has written a number of issue based Plays including "Age Rage" (with Ballyshannon Twilight Active Age Group) "When is a House not a Home" (St. Johnsons Second Chance Education project.) "At the Touch of a Button" for Comhairle.
Down By The River evolved and developed from a research phase "Shared Stories" where stories of persons living along the border area were gathered.. These past memory stories from "one to one" interviews and community groups interviews, were then woven to create a collective narrative play representing the thoughts and experiences of those who contributed, entitled "Down By The River"
"Down By The River" takes the audience on a gentle ramble down memory lane, along the banks of the river Foyle. The play is set in a fictional river bank location, in the Castlefinn area. "Down By The River" features 4 cross border actors, Maura Logue as Annie Gallagher, Paula Mc Mullen as Violet Tucky, Ivan Macken as Towley Brooker and John Kane as Daire McCann. The music for the piece features the work of Strabane Songwriter Pete O Hanlon and North Donegal Songwriter Kevin Doherty. In this 40 min "play" the audience eavesdrops on the conversations among and between the characters. Each character offers different perspectives, hopes and share memories and stories of lives lived along the border. We see how at times lives interconnect and we note the River Foyle is the constant, the core, the heart of all these interconnected tales.
As the 4 characters banter tell yarns and offer their reflections and reminiscences, share secrets of the past, talk of the influence of the River on the lives of those living along the border unfold.
Down By The River is an easy listening "one act" play peppered with humour, yarns, and everyday tales from ordinary people. The stories will prompt memories for the listener of life in past times, down by The River.

St. Baithin's N.S. 'News' St. Baithins N.S. has had a very busy first term with lots happening both in the school and out in the wider community. 5th and 6th class had a very enjoyable trip to the Aviva Stadium in Dublin to attend the Ford Cup final between Derry City and St. Pats. The school would like to thank Finn Harps for kindly supplying the match tickets free of charge to the children and also Gary Lawrence and Ciaran Coll who very kindly gave up their Sunday to help with the trip. The school was delighted to receive a visit from Sligo Rovers just before Christmas. They brought the Airtricity League Cup to the school, which they recently won. It's the third year in a row that Sligo Rovers has visited the school; they have also brought the Ford Cup to the school over the last two years following their success in the Ford Cup Final, which the children have also attended. Ms Currans 5th and 6th class were back in Dublin shortly after their trip to the Aviva, this time they were on a very special trip to Áras an Uachtaráin and Leinster House. They had an opportunity to tour both houses and watch the Dáil proceedings take place. The school soccer teams have had a busy start to their seasons. Both the senior boys and girls soccer squads reached the finals of the Finn Harps Primary School League held in November. In the 3rd and 4th Class Indoor Futsal Competition, held in Deele College recently, St. Baithin's boys and girls put on a fine display with the boys team winning their division and qualifying for the County Final, which will be held in February and the girls being unfortunate to lose out on goal difference. St. Johnston will be well represented in the Donegal Sports Star Awards on the 25th of January, with Tyler Toland from 6th class, being nominated in the Best Primary School Girl category, Ms Meehan being nominated in the Primary School Teachers category and past pupils Brett Mc Ginty and John Kelly are also nominated. Brett is nominated in the Boxing section while John Kelly is nominated in the Best Secondary School Boys section. We wish everyone well on the night.
A Carol Service for the families of the children was held in St. Baithin's Chapel just before the Christmas break. It was a really successful night. The staff and pupils are so grateful to Sean Kerrigan, who gave of his time so generously to accompany the school children on keyboard. The children and their parents were then invited to the Resource Centre for refreshments, which were kindly provided by the school Parents Committee. The children are working hard in school towards getting the Green Schools Flag. We appreciate the support given at home towards recycling. The school will soon be having a day of action where parents will be invited to attend. We would greatly appreciate the support of parents on the day.
Rare Bird: A rare bird usually found on the backs of herd animals in the savannahs of Africa has arrived in Co Donegal because of the mild weather. The rarely seen cattle egret was spotted at a pig farm near the village of St Johnston. The discovery has caused excitement among wildlife enthusiasts as the cattle egret is a migratory member of the heron family and is native to Africa and Asia. It is often found riding on the backs of animals such as wildebeest on the plains of the tropics and sub-tropics. Birdwatch Ireland development officer Niall Hatch said our milder-than-usual winter and climate change generally were possible factors in the bird's arrival.

Black Science is a creator-owned science fiction American comic book series by Rick Remender and Italian artist Matteo Scalera. Image Comics released the first issue in November 2013. The story follows Grant McKay, an ex-member of the Anarchist Order of Scientists, and his team and family as they are thrown through dimensions as they try to repair his dimensional device, "the Pillar", created by forbidden, unethical means – the eponymous "Black Science". Via the Pillar, McKay and his fellow "Dimensionauts" were able to leap between worlds to find technological and medical advances for their own, but a member of Grant's team sabotages the pillar, causing it to jump to random locations at random times in increasingly lethal and hostile dimensions, forcing the team to try to return to their own dimension before they are killed by numerous hazards, ranging from parasitic fungi, nihilistic dimensional conquerors, and alternate versions of themselves.

The first several issues of Black Science sold out of first printings at the distributor level, and Image announced that certain issues would be reprinted.

Synopsis

Grant McKay, former member of The Anarchistic Order of Scientists, has finally done the impossible: He has deciphered Black Science and punched through the barriers of reality. Grant theorizes that each alternate reality of what he calls the "Eververse" is like an onion. Pierce into each and you discover a new dimension, one based an infinite variety of choices made by everyone everywhere. What lies at the center is perhaps the primal universe that started it all. What lies beyond the veil is not epiphany, however, but chaos. Now Grant and his team are lost; living ghosts shipwrecked on an infinite ocean of alien worlds, barreling through the long-forgotten, ancient, and unimaginable dark realms.

Characters

Chandra – Second in command to Kadir.
Grant McKay – Member of the Anarchist League of Scientists, father of Nathan and Pia McKay.
Kadir – Bankrolled the Pillar project, often at odds with head scientist Grant McKay.
Nathan McKay – Grant McKay's son, stranded with him in another dimension after the sabotage of the Pillar.
Pia McKay – Grant McKay's daughter, stranded with him in another dimension after the sabotage of the Pillar.
Rebecca – Scientist who worked on The Pillar and began an affair with Grant McKay.
Sara McKay – Grant McKay's wife.
Shawn – Junior scientist on the Pillar project for the Anarchistic Order of Scientists.
Ward – Ex-military, now security officer for the Anarchistic Order of Scientists and Grant McKay.
The Shaman – A medicine man from a dimension where Germany and highly technically advanced Native Americans are at war, who is abducted by, then later joins the Dimensionauts.

The multilateral trade agreements in the Annexes to the Agreement Establishing the World Trade Organization provide a comprehensive structure for international trade. Why would trading partners in different countries feel the need to go outside this framework in order to set up preferential trade arrangements? This book considers the structure of the World Trade Organization's agreements and the types of preferential trade arrangements, and deliberates the value of the latter in the light of the operation of the former.
Preferential Trade Agreements and International Law offers a comprehensive examination of preferential trade agreements and considers the features of specific regional and bilateral trade agreements without drawing upon systematic features and trends. It shows the latest state of knowledge on the topic and will be of value to researchers, academics, policymakers, and students interested in international trade and economic law.
