Shauna O Keeffe, a third-year student from Castleisland Community College, is hoping to win her second national title in as many years in the National Sophia Physics Competition.
Shauna was part of a group that won the Junior category last year, and this year she undertook her own research and entered the competition again.
She has now been short-listed as a finalist. Five different transition-year groups have also been short-listed as finalists in their categories.
Shauna s project is a study about electrostatics in bees and how they interact with flowers in nature.
Bees are among the earth s hardest-working creatures and are one of the most important plant pollinators.

Pupils at St Bartholomew’s CE Primary School, in Areley Kings, will monitor the eggs stored in an incubator and look after the chicks once they hatch. Headteacher Ian James said: “All our children have been very excited to hear about our new arrivals. It will be a brilliant spring activity, learning about nature and tying in with the Easter story.”

One of my gentle readers informed me just last week that there had been some changes at the Telford Diner, an East Tennessee classic eatery.
Having waved goodbye to our friend the Retiree who, predictably, was off once again on another of her traveling adventures, my dining partner and I decided to visit Telford and see what renovations our friends Warren and Vickie Browder had made to their restaurant.
The Telford Diner is the âpictured-in-the-dictionaryâ example of a classic family-run Tennessee restaurant. It is located in the town of Telford, just a stoneâs throw from Old State Route 34, (now Tenn. Highway 353). After a quick turn onto Telford Road, you make a quick left turn just over the Little Limestone Creek Bridge onto Mill Street. A minute or two more and youâll see a yellow building with a sign identifying the place. Restaurant parking is ample on both sides of Mill Street.
