The newly wed wife said to her husband when he returned from work: "I have great news for you. Pretty soon we're going to be three in this house instead of two." The husband started glowing with happiness and kissing his wife said: "Oh darling, I'm the happiest man in the world." Then she said: "I'm glad that you feel this way because tomorrow morning my mother moves in with us."

A man and his wife were making their first doctor visit prior to the birth of their first child. After everything checked out, the doctor took a small
stamp and stamped the wife's stomach with indelible ink. The couple was curious about what the stamp was for, so when they got home, he dug out his magnifying glass to try to see what it was. In very tiny letters, the stamp said, "When you can read this without a needing a magnifying glass, come back and see me."

A woman had two female parrots who were always yelling, "We're easy, wanna have a little fun?" One day, she was talking to her Priest about this. He said he had two male parrots and all they did was pray. He thought perhaps they would be a good influence on the two females. So they put the four parrots together. So, the females yelled at the male parrots, "We're easy, wanna have a little fun?" One male parrot said to the other, "You can stop praying, our prayers have been answered!"

Munster Champs Ryan Hogan (Carrig) and George Harding (Lorrha) created history by winning the first ever Munster juvenile title for Gurteen badminton Club in UL Limerick recently. In what was going to be a great day for the Club, Ryan teamed up with Alexandra Troy (Broadford BC)in mixed doubles to lift gold again and a second Munster title. In the singles George and Ryan battled through a field of 18 players, and after some very close matches
both emerged as finalists. After 5 hours of badminton George and Ryan faced each other in the final match. As neither player wanted to concede defeat this proved to be the best match of the competition with both players showing great skill and energy. Once again Ryan emerged victorious on a 21-19 score line and complete the treble with his 3rd title on the day. Well done to both boys.
Nenagh Special Needs Activity Fund The Nenagh Special Needs Activity Fund was set up to part fund the weekly activities attended by many children with special needs from in and around Nenagh. The activities include horseriding at McDonnell’s Riding School, Ballintoher, swimming at the Nenagh Swimming Pool and Jump n Gyms. Once a month there is a blessing in St. Mary’s of the Rosary for children and adults with disabilities, we say some prayers and sing some songs, this is from 12:30-12:50 and all are welcome, also once a month there is a story reading and colouring activity in the library from 12:30-1:00 all are welcome here also. Please contact Joan about dates for theses events. Children with disabilities have the opportunity to participate in these activities with the help of many volunteers and groups such as Riding for the disabled, transition year students from the schools in town, Enable Ireland and independent volunteers. Groups from Suaimhneas (Special Class for Autism), Aoibhneas (Special Class for Autism) and children with Enable Ireland come to these activities. It is an invaluable service which allows parents or staff to bring the pupils to activities which will have numerous benefits for them. Many children are learning new skills such as horse-riding and how to swim, activities that may not have been otherwise possible. It is also possible for children to go to Jumping Gyms after
swimming for a social skills and play session. A beneficial aspect of these sessions is the fact that they are private sessions run only for these groups and with people who have knowledge of special needs. The horse-riding is organised by Riding for the disabled and the pool is private for our session also. This allows the children to learn at their own pace and have fun at the same time in a safe environment. Many of the children that attend the activity sessions have had huge success in overcoming fears and gaining independence in areas such as swimming/dressing/showering etc, they also gain a lot of sensory feedback from the activities as well as having opportunities to socialise with other children and groups. There are currently about 20 children using the service however with more fundraising etc we would hope to build on these numbers. Money which we fundraise or is donated goes towards fees for horse-riding, pool rental fees, specialised equipment for the pool(floatation devices, physio equipment and occupational therapy equipment.) and fees for Jump N Gyms. This service is an invaluable service which caters for a spectrum of special needs and a huge catchment area. If you would like further information on how to become a volunteer or on fundraising or donations please contact Joan Dunne on 086-8604687

Outstanding Tipperary Talent At The Tavern The standard at heat 3 of the Tavern’s Got Talent (Ballinderry, Nenagh) rose to an even higher level, if that was possible, on Friday night last when a large audience was treated once again to an exceptional nights entertainment. 5 superb acts gave the judges major headaches, as only 3 could advance to the semi-finals. Luckily there will be a wild card night for the 2 runners up to have another go. First on was Darragh McKenna, the new Lord Mayor of Borrisokane! Darragh performed “Love Me” and “The Dance”. The judges were impressed by Darragh’s presentation and the feeling and emotion he put into his songs. Next was Liz Mitchell from Roscrea. Liz gave an excellent performance of Cyndi Lauper’s “True Colours” and her “rock-chic” version of “Black Velvet”. Once again the judges praised her “excellent and tuneful” voice, and her confident and assured presentation.
the judges, Louise Heavin, who admitted that she herself was trying to reach the notes with her! Final act of the night was local man Alan Dunne. The judges admitted they were truly “blown away” by Alan’s performance, which was full of originality, personality and showmanship. His stunning guitar playing complemented his excellent vocal in his first song, a rarely heard (at least in The Tavern!) number by The Weezers. Following that, Alan donned his tuxedo for a most entertaining and original interpretation of Cry Me A River, recently covered by Michael Buble. The judges likened this to a “theatrical performance” and praised the obvious work and thought that had gone into it. There was choreography, drama and even a few James Bond moves thrown in for good measure!
After the audience had a little time to breathe and the adjudicators had arrived at a result, we were entertained Following that, all the way from Clon- with an interval act by Zoe and Melismel, we had Owen Barrett.

I Have A Dream… A New Business Idea? by Elaine Rogers How does it work again? Oh yes, you begin with a subconscious dream, it then moves into the consciousness (light bulb! time) and we suddenly realise a great idea. What happens then? We imagine the idea, then imagine no one else will think it’s a good idea. Or worse: they will laugh at, begrudge or reject the idea. So we keep it to ourselves and it never sees the light of day. Now imagine how many excellent ideas are locked up inside people’s heads, never to see the light of day, never to be shared and realised. It begins to sound very sad. In a Global Entrepreneurship Survey, 38 per cent of Irish people cited fear of failure as a key reason for not starting a business. This compares with 28 per cent in the US. They are not as afraid to try. Ireland is known to have a strong entrepreneurial culture. An article in the Irish Times recently stated that 9 per cent of the adult population are established entrepreneurs. This compares with 8.3 per cent in the US, 6 per cent in the UK and just 2.8 per cent in France. But these positive figures relate to the fact that Ireland is afraid of failure. We do not tolerate a business going down the tubes as easily as the US would. They view “failure” as a lesson to be learned. We seem to view failure as… well… failure! We generally give up and never try again.
into a business venture. You can succumb to the gloom and doom or look for the positives and see opportunities during recession times. So, where do you begin? A possible starting point is to use your personal network to gauge interest or possible success. The next step is to network with other entrepreneurs and see what they are doing right and wrong. Then contact your local Enterprise Board to utilise their expertise and resources. Possibly attend an entrepreneurial or “Start your own Business” course. Lesson?

Aha, there is no definitive answer. However, what is necessary is for us, the dreamers, to become thinkers and ultimately, doers. The first step in this process is to truly believe in your idea.

Take your business one step at a time. Stop listening to the be-grudgers. Get out and get networking and surround yourself with other entrepreneurs. Sitting in the pub on a Friday night listening to unemployed PAYE workers will not give you the boost you need to imagine your idea as a business venture. If you are unemployed and have a great idea, go and seek the support you so rightly deserve to help turn your dream into a thriving business.

A couple of years ago Four Wheel Drive met with female singer Jolanda Peters from Holland while working together on a musical theatre show called 'Somewhere Between'. Things immediately clicked and Jolanda was asked to sing the Townes Van Zandt song 'If I needed You' on the new 4 Wheel Drive CD Another Town. It quickly became one of the band's most requested songs and the rest is... history. Jolanda is an outstanding singer with a remarkable soulful voice well capable of moving people.

The final preparations are now being made for this years Tipperary Vintage Rally to be held at the Tipperary racecourse this Easter Sunday, April 4th. This year there will be an additional event on the Saturday when owners and riders of the Honda 50 moped will take a trip out through the Glen of Aherlow in a further bid to raise funds for the South Tipperary Hospice. 100 -200 machines are expected to start off from the racecourse at 4 o'clock and head towards Bansha before turning up through the Glen and back over via Christ the King which should be quite a site. Photographs taken of the run will be eligible for the Tipp Rally Photo Competition which has an Olympus digital compact camera as first prize kindly provided by Kisanes Pharmacy. This years theme for the Competition is Machine and Man (or women) and the judges will be looking for the best portrayal of the relationship between any person and any machine taken at the rally or Honda run.
TV services for the donation of a Zanussi Washing machine and Colour TV for the first two tickets drawn. Tickets will be available for sale at the Honda run and Rally itself. Meanwhile thanks to Arra Veterinary Services and Burns Pet Nutrition the dog show has been opened up to 10 classes so there will be the opportunity for all dogs to be entered free with registration starting at 1:30pm.
Further prizes are available with the Tipp Rally raffle and the organisers are extremely grateful to O'Conner Bothers Electrical and Jack Leonard
Full details of the attractions and activities can be found on the rally website which is www.tipprally.com
This year it has been decided to make a feature of Porsche tractors and cars and it is hoped that there will be over 20 tractors from the company on show which will be the largest gathering of the make in Ireland. Although Porsche was only involved in tractor production for ten years there was quite a variety of machinery produced and a good selection of the range will be on view. Likewise it is hoped that there will be many of their cars present too and if you own one then you will be especially welcome to bring it along.

Will he be able to perform his tricks and take the trophy or will he trump? You can decide by pressing Trevor’s belly! With lots of colour, texture, and sound, Trevor is sure to engage toddlers and appeal to slightly older children who are at the age that is fascinated with trumping.

Abuse
by Jim O Shea
(Continued from previous issue) Abuse of children
Children who witness abuse may have problems in school; have poor concentration, poor academic performance, difficulty mixing with others, and a lot of absenteeism. Boys who witness domestic abuse are more likely to batter their partners as adults than boys raised in nonviolent homes. Children reared in an abusive environment suffer from guilt and take responsibility for the abuse, they are constantly anxious, and they feel guilty for loving the abusive parent. They suffer fear of abandonment, can become withdrawn, blame themselves, and combine contradictory behaviours such as being needy and clinging as well as being rebellious and angry.
child victims learn that abuse is normal; that is what they have seen, and that is how they have been formed. In a sense it can be looked at as a matter of how people communicate. If a child learns a negative form of communication by which it was normal to insult, berate, condemn, and put down; then that child, when they become adults, may be likely to use this form of negative communication when dealing with their own families. Other reasons are social stress, social isolation, low community involvement, and family structure. Understanding these means that measures can be brought into action to prevent abuse. When the cycle of abuse is broken in a family, then it is unlikely that it will pass on to the next generation. Parents have a duty and a responsibility to protect and properly form their children. This responsibility involves protecting them from an abusive environment. Not only that, it also involves the creation of a positive, nurturing environment that sows the seeds of self-confidence and a strong identity in their children. In order to do this parents must begin with respect (abuse is the very opposite of respect). You need to be a ‘good enough’ parent. Parenting is not only instinctive; there is also much to learn. This can be done through parenting groups, or by reading good books. But respect must be the hallmark of such groups or books. If parents give their children respect, love, attention, empathy, honesty, and allow them appropriate independence, then the children will embody these traits as adults.
So why do people maltreat children? Why do they abuse their trust, and cause such psychological (and physical) damage to the most vulnerable in society. It is a difficult question to answer, but an important one to understand. It must be emphasised that adults have a responsibility to care for children under their care, and they cannot be excused for not doing so. But there are explanations as to why child abuse happens. Here are some of them. The abusers may be victims of abuse themselves, and see it as normal. They may have some mental and psychological disorders, and be incapable of exercising healthy care of children. Parents can only give what they have. They cannot give what they have not, but like Naomei Will they . have the responsibility to make an effort. Continued in next issue) Abusers may also be experiencing severe stress, for example, from poverty, divorce, sickness, disability, lack of parenting skills, addiction to drugs, and inability to cope. They may be full of anger, and have a great need to control. Researchers sum up four primary reasons as to why people harm their children. These are transmission of violence through generations i.e. the
