Brian Cowan was visiting a primary school and he visited one of the classes. They were in the middle of a discussion related to words and their meanings. The teacher asked Mr. Cowan if he would like to lead the discussion on the word 'tragedy'.

So the illustrious leader asked the class for an example of a 'tragedy'.

A little boy stood up and offered: 'If my best friend, who lives on A farm, is playing in the field & a tractor runs over him and kills him,that would be a 'tragedy.'

No, said Brian - that would be an accident.'

A little girl raised her hand: 'If a school bus carrying fifty children drove over a cliff, killing everyone inside, that would be a tragedy' I'm afraid not, explained Brian that's what we would call great loss The room went silent. No other children volunteered. Brian searched the room. 'Isn't there someone here who can give me an example of a tragedy?'

Finally, at the back of the room, little Johnny raised his hand...

In a quiet voice he said: 'If A plane carrying you and Mr. Lenihan was struck by a 'friendly fire' missile & blown to smithereens, that would be a tragedy.'

Fantastic!' exclaimed Brian .

'That's right. And can you tell me Why that would be tragedy?'

'Well,' says little Johnny 'it has to be a tragedy, because it certainly wouldn't be a great loss and it probably wouldn't be an accident either!'

Billy and Willy were at Sunday school studying about Noah's ark.

On the way home, Willy asked,

"Do you think Noah did much fishing?"

"How could he?" said Billy. "He only had two worms".

Miss Beatrice, the church organist, was in her eighties and had never been married. She was admired for her sweetness and kindness to all.

One afternoon the pastor came to call on her and she showed him into her quaint sitting room. She invited him to have a seat while she prepared tea. As he sat facing her old Hammond organ, the young minister noticed a cute glass bowl sitting on top of it. The bowl was filled with water, and in the water floated, of all things, a condom!When she returned with tea and scones, they began to chat. The pastor tried to stifle his curiosity about the bowl of water and its strange floater, but soon it got the better of him and he could no longer resist.

Miss Beatrice', he said, “I wonder if you would tell me about this?' pointing to the bowl. 'Oh, yes,' she replied, 'Isn't it wonderful? I was walking through the park a few months ago and I found this little package on the ground. The directions said to place it on the organ, keep it wet and that it would prevent the spread of disease. Do you know I haven't had the flu all winter.'

Afternoon of Fun to Celebrate Seachtain Na Gaeilge

From Coronation Street to Thurles, Mrs Whippy at The Source The red carpet will truly be out at The Source on Sunday 7th May, when Wendi Peters alias Cilla from Coronation street will be at the Thurles venue in Cecelia Aherns’ play Mrs Whippy.

This moving and funny piece focuses on Emelda O’Grady a 46 year old woman dealing with the stress of a shattered marriage and five difficult sons. She gets by with the help of the ice-cream provided by the local “Mr. Whippy”. She soon learns that the soothing jingle can provide her with more than ice-cream, as she learns to trust again and find friendship.

Cecelia Ahern mixes laughter with tears like a true veteran of the written word in this humourous portrait of a woman finding her feet in changing circumstances. The central character is brought to life as only an actress of Wendy Peters’ talents can accomplish.

So for a great night out, get down to The Source for Mrs. Whippy.

Cashel library have planned an afternoon of fun for kids to celebrate Seachtain Na Gaeilge. The afternoon kicks off Saturday March 7th at 3pm with storytime and crafts with Suzanne. This session is suitable for children aged 4 and un-

der. Face-painter Cher Quinlan will be on hand to paint a few faces “green”!Local children from the Lucy Burgess School of Dancing will then perform at 3:30pm. Refreshments served, all are welcome.

The Mouse on the Bar-room Floor Some Guinness was spilled on the bar-room floor when the pub was shut for the night.

Out of his hole crept a wee brown mouse and stood in the pale moonlight.

He lapped up the frothy brew from the floor, then back on his haunches he sat.

And all night long you could hear him roar, 'Bring on the goddam cat!'

High Heels Obsession A woman’s obsession with high heels lasts over 50 years.

British and Irish women’s obsession with high heel shoes lasts an incredible 51 years, new research has revealed.

It begins at the age of 12, and continues through every stage of her life until she reaches 63, says fashion store Debenhams. Only old age and increasing frailty finally brings the enduring love affair to a reluctant end, sales figure show.

Said Debenhams spokesman Ed Watson: “Deciding to put away their high heels for the last time can have the same psychological impact upon women that retiring from work has upon men. “ It’s an all too public admission that they are getting older, and so natural-

ly many women want to postpone this evil day for as long as possible.

“Nevertheless, there comes a time when women have to admit that, while they may still feel young, in practice, they’re not as steady on their feet as they once were. “It’s a climb down which can cause a lot of heartache.”

High heels continue to feature prominently in her wardrobe through her late 30s and up until her mid 40s – the period when many women are building a successful career. The first real dip in heel height only occurs in a woman’s late 40s and early 50s, when the average height drops to 4.5 cms.

The central role of high heels in a woman’s psyche emerged during Debenhams continuing extensive research into the entire women’s shoe market. It reveals that the heel height worn by women begins to rise in early teens, increasing rapidly from 2.5cm to a whopping 13.5 cms by the age of 23. Walking tall continues to be the order of the day through a woman’s late 20s and 30s, only beginning to decline slightly by the age of 35 – possibly due to childbirth, Debenhams figures show.

And a final drop to 2.5 cms – virtually a normal height heel - occurs from 63 onwards, a terminal stage known within the industry as The Soleful Years.

Said Debehmans Ed Watson: “These results show that a woman’s entire

life can be mapped out according to the height of the heel she wears.

“After a meteoric rise, through youth and early adulthood, they begin to settle down before dropping back gracefully to a comfortable old age.

“However, despite our detailed findings, we feel certain that there are still many elderly women who still insist in stepping out in super high heels, defying age to trip them up.

“If so, we’d love to hear from them.

Finding out what all of our customers want to wear, regardless of age, is the secret of success in retail.”

Fancy receiving a cheque from the ESB? People power - Minister Ryan announces incentives for micro-generation Energy Minister Eamon Ryan has announced measures to encourage the on-site generation of electricity in homes and farms across Ireland.

Among the measures is a guaranteed price of 19 cent per kilowatt hour of electricity produced. This competitive feed-in tariff will apply to the first 4,000 micro-generation installations countrywide over the next three years. Eligible installations include small scale wind, photovoltaic, hydro and combined heat and power.

Traditionally, the electricity network was designed to accommodate the flow of electricity from large centralised plants to customers dispersed throughout the country. Micro-generation at local level now introduces two-way flows to the electricity system. Local generators will have the ability to be paid by the ESB for electricity that is surplus to their own

requirements and export it back to the national grid.

The new support price is being introduced along with a number of other measures in the Government’s micro-generation programme including: - Connection: An “Inform and Fit” connection policy to be introduced

by ESB Networks to reduce the length of time and complexity of the connection process. Sustainable Energy Ireland also has clear information explaining the connection process.

- Grant assistance for R & D: This pilot study includes grant assistance for 40% of the cost of 50 trial units (of up to 50kW) countrywide. Applications are being accepted by Sustainable Energy Ireland.

C2 Registered Fully Insured

Mobile: 087-9480904

- Planning exemptions: The Department of Environment has made small scale generation from low-carbon sources exempt from planning permission. The Department of Communications, Energy and Natural Resources will continue to work with the Department of Environment on planning issues surrounding renewable energy installations.

jobs and reduce carbon emissions at the same time.

Every year, we send €6 billion out of this country on fossil fuels. This type of generation will help reduce this dependence and this outflow of money. We do not want to be dependent on Russia or Saudi Arabia for our energy needs; we can supply our own.”

Announcing the programme Minister Ryan said, “We are changing the rules and changing the nature of electricity generation in Ireland.

Before you received your power from a central source and paid for it.

Now you can generate for yourself and be paid for the excess you don’t use.

This type of on-site electricity generation will boost the rural economy. It will put more money into consumers’ pockets. This type of long-term investment with a guaranteed return represents the best value for spending and lending.

All our farms and houses can be micro-generators. We can use our Paul O Brien and Tim Maher of Soabundant natural resources to bolster laregy who supply and install wind turbines, Tel; 086 8241828 or the economy, create green-collar 087 2788433 for more info.

Lost in Translation Ads that were mis-interpreted - Clairol introduced the "Mist Stick," a curling iron, into Germany only to find out that "mist" is slang for manure. Not too many people had use for the "Manure Stick."

- The US Dairy Association's huge success with the campaign "Got Milk?" prompted them to expand advertising to Mexico. It was soon brought to their attention the Spanish translation read "Are you lactating?"

- An American T-shirt maker in Miami printed shirts for the Spanish market which promoted the Pope's visit.

Instead of "I Saw the Pope" (el Papa), the shirts read "I Saw the Potato" (la papa).

- Pepsi's "Come Alive With the Pepsi Generation" translated into "Pepsi Brings Your Ancestors Back From the Grave" in Chinese.

Meet the writer of Breakfast at Tiffany’s at The Source That’s right. For one night only on Thursday 12 th March The Source plays host to The Truman Capote Talk Show.

There are both investors and speculators in the market and before you begin to participate yourself, it is important to identify which one you are. A speculator may have some of the following trading characteristics; active buying and selling, short term bets, examine companies using technical analysis, cash for difference accounts, spread betting etc. An investor is very different as this type of an individual will use fundamental analysis i.e. look at a firm's cash flows, yields value ratios, undertakes logical, time tested strategies and commits to remain in the market for the medium to long term.

It is extremely difficult to be a speculator and emerge with a positive return and for two extremely valid reasons.

Firstly, a commission much be paid each time one buys and again when one sells. If an individual is making short term bets and is quite active in doing so, these commissions will very quickly eat in to profits and diminish them substantially over a significant period. However, the poker analogy illustrates how difficult, to the point of almost impossible, it is to make a consistent gain in the short term anyway. In a hypothetical poker game, there are four people sitting around the table playing the popular card game.

At the end of the evening, two people will have won and two will have lost but no new money leaves the room, it is simply a zero sum game. The gains the two winners have made have arisen due to the losses of the two other participants. The stock market is the very same in the

short term. A business could not hope to have growth rates consistently of 5% or even 1% daily and if it did it would rapidly meet with production capacity problems. It is arguable that a good speculator can take advantage of some good short term bets and this is true, however, we live in an Information Age. The professional investment institutions that have access to second by second stock market news from companies like Bloomberg and Reuters, they are going to spot the arbitrage opportunity and make use of it before an amateur has even heard about it. As a result, similar to the poker game, what the speculator may gain in one short term bet, they are almost certain to lose on another one and have to pay four commissions to boot, driving them potentially into the red and their head into the sand.

The investor has a much higher chance of success.

Firstly, he/she is investing in companies based on fundamental analysis and hence will buy firms that are offering good value in the medium to long term. In addition, they undertake logical, time tested and easy to follow strategies.

They have a distinct advantage over speculators in that they remain in the market so in order to gain from the rise in the market over time, in line with the intrinsic value of the underlying companies.

Friends of the Sports Centre Scheme Tipperary hurler, Conor O'Brien has launched a scheme that aims to raise €30,000 towards funding a new Disabled Facility Suite at the Canon Hayes Sports Centre in Tipperary Town.

Speaking at the launch of the scheme Conor said that he was delighted to lend his support to the project as he had first hand knowledge of the excellence of the facilities at the Sports Centre and that he was fully aware of the necessity of this latest project.

Conor went on to say that the Sports Centre is playing a crucial role role in the development of sport and recreation in the region and he urged everyone to support this latest venture so that it could enhance its facilities.

Martin Quinn, Vice-Chairman of the Centre said that there is an onus on the Centre to ensure that their facilities, where possible, are accessible to all and that those with a disability can avail of them in privacy and comfort.

"A person’s disability does not make them unequal and therefore they should not be treated in an unequal way when it comes to the provision of services and facilities and it is with this in mind that the Centre is launching its "Friends of the Centre Scheme" said Martin.

He went to to say that in deciding on the level of subscription to the scheme that they were very mindful of the current economic situation and that is why they had kept the subscription to the minimum of €2 per week, which he said was about the cost of a daily newspaper.

Centre Chairman, Ruaidhri Devitt said that they were disappointed with the failure to receive funding for this project under the 2008 Sports Capital Programme and that there would be no funding available under the programme in 2009. Ruaidhri went on to say that the Management Committee were faced with a dilemma on whether to abandon their plans or to take inspiration from the founding com-

mittee and to go out and source the funding from the local community.

He said that they had decided to scale down their plans and to launch a scheme to raise the necessary funding locally and that he was very confident that the community would give it its wholehearted support.

The Centre will receive a grant from South Tipperary County Council's Community & Recreational Amenities & Facilities Scheme towards the project and supporting this they have funds on hand which were raised in 2008 from a number of events which also include a major contribution received from the Pride of Tipperary Festival Committee.

They estimate therefore that they need to raise €30,000 from the "Friends of the Centre Scheme".

The Details of the Scheme, which were outlined at the launch, specify the method of contribution and the payment options available. You become a Friend of the Centre by making a weekly contribution of just €2 per week to the Scheme. This contribution can be paid €9 monthly, €27 quarterly or €100 yearly by Direct Debit through your Bank Account or in the case of yearly payments by cash/cheque or laser card.

In return for your subscription you will be included in two yearly draws (at Easter and Christmas) for €500 cash and a number of other prizes and you may also have your name listed on a special Sponsor Board, which will be erected in the Centre.

Full details of the scheme are outlined in "Friends of the Centre" Brochures which are now available from the Canon Hayes Sports Centre, members of the Management Committee and from a number of local Promoters.

If you would like to become a "Friend" or a Promoter then contact the Centre today on 062-52022 and lend your support to this very worthy project.

IFA Welcomes Micro Generation Announcement as important first step IFA Vice President and Spokesman on Climate Change Sean O’ Leary has welcomed the announcement by Energy Minister Eamon Ryan to develop on-site electricity generation as a necessary building block, which must be matched by a capital tax allowance and an additional guaranteed price of 12 cent per kWh. Mr. O’Leary said, “Minister Ryan’s announcement today is an important first step. However this announcement of a guaranteed price of 10 cent per kWh for all electricity users and 19 cent per kWh for ESB customers falls short of international standards and discriminates against farmers and households who receive their electricity from a source other than ESB.”

into to the potential of this microgeneration sector. The capacity of this market is significant, with the small wind sector in the UK showing 80% growth in 2008.

This growth takes place at a time when micro-wind producers in the UK will receive 20 pence per kWh from March. Minister Eamon Ryan must at least match this price, which is significantly below the German and French price for micro-energy generation.”

“In addition if Ireland is serious about reducing greenhouse gas emissions and dependence on fossil fuels, while creating thousands of green-collar jobs, Minister Ryan must introduce a double capital tax allowance relief up to a maximum of €50,000 and net metering.”

“IFA have over the past 12 months put significant research

Minister’s FWM Arrangement Welcomed by IFA IFA President Padraig Walshe has welcomed the progress made on the FWM payment arrangements announced by Agriculture Minister Brendan Smith, that the Government will now pay interest incurred on the outstanding interest owed up to 2011 at a rate of 3.5%.

The President welcomed the commencement of payment to 6,000 farmers , who have already been approved. Padraig Walshe said the letter of undertaking to be issued

by Minister Smith should ensure that the credit worthiness of farmers was not adversely affected by the Government’s delayed payment schedule. This is vital for farmers’ ongoing access to working capital.

He said “IFA will be meeting the banks to ensure that farmers are offered the best competitive rate following the Government decision IFA has also secured a committo pay interest at 3.5%”. ment that approvals are proceeding rapidly and all farmers will receive IFA has also secured that a letter a staged payment by June of this of guarantee will be issued to farm- year. ers who have been approved or have yet to be approved confirming the new stage payment system.

This will strengthen the farmers’ position in negotiating with their lending institutions and is a positive move in a difficult situation Phone Tipp Tatler arising from the Government’s staged payments.

Credit Crunch Explained Heidi is the proprietor of a bar in Berlin. In order to increase sales, she decides to allow her loyal customers - most of whom are unemployed alcoholics - to drink now but pay later. She keeps track of the drinks consumed on a ledger (thereby granting the customers loans).

Word gets around and as a result increasing numbers of customers flood into Heidi's bar.

Taking advantage of her customers' freedom from immediate payment constraints, Heidi increases her prices for wine and beer, the mostconsumed beverages. Her sales volume increases massively.

A young and dynamic customer service consultant at the local bank recognizes these customer debts as valuable future assets and increases Heidi's borrowing limit.

He sees no reason for undue concern since he has the debts of the alcoholics as collateral.

At the bank's corporate headquarters, expert bankers transform these customer assets into DRINKBONDS, ALKBONDS and PUKEBONDS. These securities are then traded on markets worldwide. No one really understands what these abbreviations mean and how the securities are guaranteed. Neverthe-

less, as their prices continuously climb, the securities become topselling items.

One day, although the prices are still climbing, a risk manager (subsequently of course fired due his negativity) of the bank decides that slowly the time has come to demand payment of the debts incurred by the drinkers at Heidi's bar.

However they cannot pay back the debts. Heidi cannot fulfil her loan obligations and claims bankruptcy.

DRINKBOND and ALKBOND drop in price by 95 %. PUKEBOND performs better, stabilizing in price after dropping by 80 %.

The suppliers of Heidi's bar, having granted her generous payment due dates and having invested in the securities are faced with a new situation. Her wine supplier claims bankruptcy, her beer supplier is taken over by a competitor.

Peata Award for Eileen Brereton and Foxy It is well known that pets are good for you. They can reduce stress levels, bring down blood pressure and of course, they are great company so help to prevent loneliness. People who have to go into hospital or nursing homes often have to leave their pets behind and this causes heartache for the devoted owners.

An organisation called Peata, was formed several years ago by John Bainbridge, a vet from Dublin, who realised the potential of pets helping people. Peata is a voluntary organisation that offers "animal therapy".

Volunteers take their pets to the hospitals, nursing homes, homes for the disabled and special needs schools and allow the patients and children to interact with the animals, be they cats, dogs, or rabbits. These volunteers give up their time each week to go round to the different institutions and spend time with the residents.

One such person, is Shinrone lady, Eileen Brereton, who goes to St. Anne's of Roscrea, The Manor Nursing Home Alzheimer's Unit and Puckane School that has classes for Autistic children. Avril Mounsey, the teacher working with the Autis-

tic children, explained that the children learn to form a relationship with Foxy by simply stroking him, taking him for walks around the classroom and on simple obstacle courses. This leads the way to forming better relationships with people.

In all her years as a volunteer, she has never missed her weekly trips to help these people and last week, Peata nominated Eileen and her dog, Foxy, with a well deserved award for her efforts. The award ceremony was held in Puckane National School and John Bainbridge was there to present the award to Eileen and Foxy. It was a very pleasant afternoon with plenty to eat and plenty of entertainment by the children, who finished off the afternoon with a lively rendition of "How much is that doggy in the Window".

Abuse

Sexual Abuse (continued from last issue)

As with all abuse, vulnerable people are particularly at risk. Children are preyed upon by paedophiles, who methodically plan how they will lure them into sexual acts to gratify their own desires. We have read many stories of how children were sexually abused in various institutions. In most of those cases there was little planning done by the abusers. They simply used their power upon vulnerable and powerless children.

For those who were abused in institutions NOVA has been set up as part of the overall Government strategy to support those who were abused as children. NOVA stands for the National Office for Victims of Abuse, and currently is situated in 19 Upper Ormond Quay, Dublin. Its confidential freephone help line is 1800 25 25 24.

Sexual abuse of children is particularly awful, and it robs the child of their innocence. It is one of the most painful and potentially damaging experiences that a person may suffer in childhood. It is also a controversial and complex issue.

Sexual abuse also includes nontouching behaviours such as indecent exposure, making children watch pornographic material, exposing a child to an act of sexual intercourse, and masturbating in front of a child.

There are some tell tale signs that a child is being sexually abused, and these signs may vary with the age of the child. They do not, of course, always indicate sexual abuse, and there are many other reasons why these behaviours may be present.

Nonetheless, it is well to be aware of them. For younger children there may be bed-wetting, excessive curiosity about sex, altered sleep pattern, learning problems, separation anxiety, overly compulsive behaviours, developing fears and phobias, sexual acting out with peers, and psychosomatic disorders. Pre-puberty and early teenage children may be involved in stealing, in running away from home,

starting fires, excessive bathing, being withdrawn and passive, sexual references made in school work, aggression, depression, and substance abuse. With older children there may be suicide attempts, early marriage, running away, pregnancy, substance abuse, and carrying out illegal acts.

This is the age of technology, and children are much more adept at using computers than many parents are. Children who use the internet are targets for sexual abusers. There are warning signs that parents need be aware of that might indicate that their children are subject to online sexual abuse. It is worth checking if the child spends a large amount of time on the internet, especially at night. It is always worth checking the computer to see if there is any pornography on it. Checking the phone bills is also recommended, as they may indicate that the child is making phone calls, especially long distance, to numbers that are not recognised by parents. Another warning sign is if a child receives mail and packages from people that the parents do not know. It is also worth investigating if the child turns off the monitor or changes the screen quickly if a parent enters the room.

The child becoming withdrawn from the family may also be a sign of internet sexual abuse. Finally, it is worth checking if a child is using an online account belonging to someone else.
