Page 8 SECTION A Recent sexual assault raises safety issues By Melissa Nielsen CAMPUS EDITOR The recent sexual assault of woman on cam- pus has reiterated the need for police and cam- pus sexual assault services for the ongoing problem of rape. On Oct. 9, at about midnight, an unidentified woman said a man she knew sexually assaulted her in Thomas Hall, a police report said. Though the report was filed, no charges will be filed, said Adam Due, chief public safety officer. He said the woman wanted to make police aware of the situation, but did not want to take the case any further. Due said the victim knew the offender, did not seek medical attention and police were not aware of any alcohol use. Tom Edwards, president of the board for Sexual Assault Crisis and Information Center, said going to police is one option sexual assault victims have, but victims who feel they need help should call professional help lines in their area after an assault.

  • Nanuq of North Dublin? by Brian Witt It Appears That the Vikings Weren’T the First Invaders to Come from the North, and Intermarry with the Island’S Residents
    Volume XXXVII, No. 7 September (Meán Fómhair) 2011 Nanuq of North Dublin? by Brian Witt It appears that the Vikings weren’t the first invaders to come from the north, and intermarry with the island’s residents. Scientists have discovered polar bears can trace their family tree to Ireland. Genetic evidence shows they are descended from Irish brown bears that lived during the last ice age. When one thinks of the great behemoths of the north, Ireland isn’t the first place of residence that comes to mind. One doesn’t associate polar bears with buskers on Grafton Street, or sitting in the stone beehives on Skellig Michael in Kerry. Modern polar bears share a distinct DNA sequence, passed down the female line, with their now extinct brown ancestors. However, the same DNA fingerprint is absent from other species of brown bear alive today. It is thought the link arose from interbreeding between prehistoric polar bears and female brown bears when their paths crossed as the Irish climate cooled. Polar bears may have moved into what is now Ireland when the region was experiencing much cooler temperatures than it is today. At the same time, brown bears may have been pushed towards the coast by advancing ice sheets. Warmer periods may bring the species together as melting glacial ice and rising sea levels force polar bears to retreat inland. Scientists made the discovery after analyzing DNA in mitochondria – energy-produc- ing structures within cells – that are only passed from a mother to her offspring. Dr. Ceiridwen Edwards, from Oxford University, a member of the international team that carried out the study, said: “Hybridization between ancient Irish brown bears and polar bears has led to the complete replacement of the original polar bear mitochondria.

  • THE MAHONES - the Irish Punk Brigade
    THE MAHONES - The Irish Punk Brigade. Est. 1990. AMAZING REVIEW from THE MAHONES appearance to the recent Bearded Theory Festival in England May 2019 "I finally arrived at The Pallet Stage to behold a magnificent set from Irish punk rockers, The Mahones. These are a must see for anyone who likes fun, tons and tons of it. Swinging their instruments around, dancing, singing, laughing, stomping and leaping, their frolicsome shenanigans on stage had the crowd buzzing with their infectious energy and exuberance. One of the best bands I’ve ever had the pleasure to witness live." (by getreadytorock.me.uk) MAHONES BIO 2019 From an Irish pub to an Academy Award winning movie: The Mahones have come a long way in 29 years. Heralded as pioneers of the Irish punk scene, and internationally recognized as one of the best and hardest working punk outfits around, The Mahones formed on St. Patrick's Day in 1990, and have been working on their own brand of Irish punk ever since. With a working class ethic and a love of classic punk, Dublin-born Finny McConnell (Lead Vocals, Guitar, Songwriter) formed the band to combine his love of punk rock with his Irish culture. Alongside McConnell are Sean Riot Ryan (Bass, Vocals), Michael O’Grady (Tin Whistle, Accordion, Vocals), Al Baby Webster (Drums, Percussion), Nicole Kaiser (Accordion, Vocals) and occasionally Gina Romantini (Fiddle, Vocals). The Mahones have released an incredible ten studio albums, three compilation albums, two live albums and two EPs. Their albums have featured many guest appearances, including Jake Burns (Stiff Little Fingers), Simon Townshend (The Who), Ken Casey and Rick Barton (Dropkick Murphys), Dave Baksh (Sum 41), Greg Keelor (Blue Rodeo), Tony Duggins (The Tossers), Johnny Fay and Gord Sinclair (The Tragically Hip), Ian D'Sa (Billy Talent), Mary Margaret O'Hara, Ian Blurton, Damhnait Doyle, Ian Thornley and Tara Slone.

  • Utica St. Patrick's Day Parade Marks 195 Years
    MOHAWK VALLEY IRISH CULTURAL Volume 16, Issue 3 EVENTS NEWSLETTER Mar 2019 Utica St. Patrick’s Day Parade Marks 195 Years On Saturday, March 16th, downtown Utica will once again be the site of one of the Mohawk Valley’s most fun-filled family traditions: the annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade. Presented by the Great American Irish Festival, the parade starts at 10 AM at Oneida Square and continues until reaching Columbia Street. Many spectators find the reviewing stand area in front of the Stanley Theatre a prime location to enjoy the parade, but the fact is there is not a bad viewing spot along the route. The parade -- the culmination of a full week of Irish-centered activities in honor of National Irish Month -- will be proudly led by this year’s Grand Marshal, John Sullivan. The St. Patrick’s Day parade is one of Utica’s oldest and grandest celebrations, originated in 1824 by Utica’s first mayor and pre-eminent Irishman, John C. Devereux. Following a St. Patrick’s Day banquet he organized at Bagg’s Tavern, Devereux summoned his fellow diners outside, where he led the group in a one-street procession to celebrate their patron saint. Thus began the tradition of Utica’s St. Patrick’s Day parade, and of its being led by a worthy Grand Marshal. Beginning that year and continuing for every parade for the next 24 years until his death in 1848, Utica’s John Devereux could be seen leading “his” parade, “…wearing a green sash and sporting a genuine shamrock from the ‘ould sod’ in his button hole.” After a few years of inactivity, the parade was revived in 1978 as a short parade down Varick St.
