In July 1997 the residents of Culmore Village and Ballynagard expressed their concern at the possibility of a waste incinerator being built at Coolkeeragh; Bob and Janet Kelly presented the customary key of friendship from their hometown of Greencastle, in the townland of Antrim, in Pennsylvania, to the people of Greencastle, Co. Donegal, when they visited the Inishowen fishing village; and 16-year-old Derry lad, Bryan Harkin, set sail for Anfield and a two year contract with Merseyside giants, Liverpool. As ever, the ‘Journal’s photographers were doing the rounds.
