"“If you set your goals ridiculously high and it’s a failure, you will fail above everyone else’s success.” - James Cameron

Jokes Now that they are retired, my mother and father are discussing all aspects of their future. "What will you do if I die before you do?" Dad asked Mom. After some thought, she said that she'd probably look for a house sharing situation with three other single or widowed women who might be a little younger than herself, since she is so active for her age.

Then Mom asked Dad, "What will you do if I die first?"

He replied, "Probably the same thing."

A young schoolboy was having a hard time pronouncing the letter ''R,'' and all the other kids were, of course, teasing him about it. To help him out, the teacher gave him a sentence to practice at home: ''Robert gave Richard a rap in the ribs for roasting the rabbit so rare.''

In class a few days later, the teacher asked the boy to recite the sentence out loud.

The boy nervously eyed his classmates--many of them already laughing at him--then replied, ''Bob gave Dick a poke in the side because the bunny wasn't cooked enough.''

Lessons and Treks

Sometimes when I reflect back on all the beer I drink I feel ashamed.

Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the brewery and all of their hopes and dreams.

Well what if I didn't drink this beer?

Those workers might be out of work and their dreams would be shattered.

Then I said to myself, "It is better that I drink this beer and let their dreams come true than be selfish and worry about my liver."

A boy asks his father, "Dad, are bugs good to eat?" "That's disgusting. Don't talk about things like that over dinner," the dad replies. After dinner the father asks, "Now, son, what did you want to ask me?" "Oh, nothing," the boy says. "There was

a bug in your soup, but now it’s gone."

My friend told me he had the body of a Greek god. I had to explain to him that Buddha is not Greek.

Q: If you were forced to go through one of the following doors, which door do you go through with 100 % certainty you'd stay alive: a door with a man with a gun behind it, a door with a tiger who hasn't eaten in 7 years behind it, or a door with an electrical chair behind it?

A: The one with the tiger behind it, because if it hasn't eaten in 7 years it's dead.

BlackBerry Hearing, was established to address the shockingly high price of hearing aids.

Blackberry Hearing, an Irish company, is making quality hearing aids much more affordable and is adding numerous clinics across the country as demand increases. The company offers its customers the option of a free hearing test at home or a free hearing test in a clinic held in a partner pharmacy.

Michael Ormonde, a recent customer from Newbridge, had this to say: “I would highly recommend Blackberry Hearing from a service point of view. They managed everything and responded quickly all the time. The first thing I noticed, however, was the price. I was amazed at the price and having worn the hearing aid for some time the quality is even better than (the much more expensive) hearing aids I’ve had before.”

Meanwhile, a local woman, Kathleen Murray, added:“I’d never had hearing aids before. We were recently away in Liverpool and I could join in on every conversation. It wasn’t until we came away I realised the impact of what had just happened.”

There is no need to pay exorbitant prices for hearing aids any more.

Blackberry Hearing aids start at

€399 for one, or €799 for a pair with the grant. They are modern, high quality, digital hearing aids made by Widex in Denmark, one of the top six makers of hearing aids in the world and well renowned for the quality of their hearing aids.

The transparent pricing of the product is a deliberate and key policy decision by Blackberry Hearing, in contrast to many other hearing aid suppliers, where there is a deliberate policy of having no pricing information available or upselling to higher prices after testing.

booking out quickly across the country due to the life changing and positive impact that affordable quality hearing aids make to people’s lives.

Blackberry Hearing keep it simple by offering two hearing aid models, both of which address mild to profound hearing, are very discreet and comfortable and are of the highest quality.

Our customers tell us how much of a difference their new affordable, quality hearing aids are making to their lives and they are passing on the message to friends and family”.

LEVEL 2: “LIVING THE KNOWING”

Tipperary - All Ireland Senior and Minor Hurling Champions 2016 One of the greatest days in the modern era for Tipperary GAA was witnessed in Croke Park on Sunday last as both the senior and minor hurling teams led the county to respective All-Ireland success on a scale so unimaginable that it took more than a pinch to realise that it was in fact a magnificent reality.

The Tipperary Senior Hurling Team led by Captain Brendan Maher (Borris Ileigh) and the management of manager Michael Ryan (Upperchurch-Drombane), coach - Declan Fanning (Killenaule), selectors John Madden (Lorrha-Dorrha) and Conor Stakelum (Borris-Ileigh) are All-Ireland Champions for the 27th time following their 2-29 to 2-20 defeat of Kilkenny in the final in Croke Park last Sunday before an attendance of 82,016.

Cue scenes of mass celebration as six years of hurt and hunger were buried in the Croke Park sod when Brendan Maher hoisted aloft the Liam McCarthy Cup to rapturous cheering and applause as golden tape descended from above to confirm a royal status on the kings of hurling for 2016. Not a Tipp soul departed the arena as each and every one stood to salute and greet the men on hurling's throne who delivered on the greatest stage of all, creating a carnival atmosphere which scorched its way rapidly down to the Premier County as the festivities kicked off in earnest.

This win was no accident it was borne out of selfless belief and desire from a fantastic group of players, all thirty four of them who applied themselves to the task with ruthless determination and attitude.

Preparations for the day couldn't have been better and while nervousness was palpable around the county in the week leading into the final there was also a sense that maybe something special might unfold too and that was it. Nobody dared speak to out of turn for fear of jinxing what was hoped for. For that Tipperary Supporters take a bow, when asked for restraint you delivered too as the team was allowed prepare without any interruption to their training, a foundation surely set for the challenges that lie ahead when this year is done.

What a team performance on Sunday, it was magical and at times sublime as the Kilkenny team, worthy champions, yielded to the greater Tipperary force on the day. Tipperary players hunted in packs particularly the complete back unit and put body and limb on the line in pursuit of achieving their end goal. In doing so the forward line were in devastat-

ing form and apart from a small bit of errant shooting nailed scores to the board as they pushed on and on.

With the half forwards dominating too the profit from the inside trio was stunningly spectacular as their yield for the day delivered 2-21 of Tipp's 2-29, the goals coming courtesy of John O'Dwyer and John McGrath.

That inside line also delivered a Man of the Match performance by Seamus Callanan whose nine points from play out a thirteen point tally was testament to a worthy winner of the accolade. Though Seamie walked away with the award he had at least four more breathing down his neck for it that his hair must have been singed such was Tipp's domination on the day.

Left is Sunday Game presenter Michael Lyster, Seamus Callanan Man of the Match and Aogán Ó Fearghaíl, President of Cumann Lúthchleas Gael.

Congratulations to all the players, management and backroom personnel on the All-Ireland victory, it was certainly a whole team performance and everyone is thanked enormously for the efforts in ensuring Tipperary is back on top of the hurling ladder for 2016 at least.

Finally for now, a special word of praise and enormous thanks to Mick Ryan, Declan Fanning, John Madden and Conor Stakelum for your guiding and preparation of the team this year, all the hard work of you and the players on often long and cold miserable nights has been converted into the greatest prize of all and for that we thank you. Time to rest, reflect and above all else enjoy this moment in time, you certainly deserve it.

Thanks to An Garda Síochána for providing escorts to our senior and minor teams on Sunday as they made the journey to Croke Park, as always it is very much appreciated and of huge valuable assistance in getting teams to the venue on time, míle buíochas.

ALL-IRELAND MINOR HURLING FINAL Tipperary are the All-Ireland Minor Hurling Champions for 2016 following their 1-21 to 0-17 victory over Limerick in the opening match in Croke Park last Sunday.

That hard earned win against what was expected to be a resolute Limerick side was the perfect recipe to the Tipperary cake upon which the seniors would lay the topping a few hours later.

With emphatic wins in their last two outings, Tipp management knew the potential for a Limerick backlash from their Munster Final defeat was real and so set the task for manager Liam Cahill and his team of Michael Bevans, John Sheedy, TJ Ryan and Sean Corbett to counteract the plot, one they successfully and deservedly managed.

Tense and tough Cahill's side stood tall and took on the Treaty challenge where it mattered most, on the score board. Nip and tuck in the first half Tipp were one ahead at the break and when Jake Morris goaled for Tipp it gave his side the cushion they required and they held out to secure the Irish Press Cup for the first time since 2012.

To wild and ecstatic cheers from his team mates Brian McGrath walked the steps of the Hogan Stand to receive the cup and in doing so started off what would be a wonderful day for Tipperary.

Congratulations to the team, manager Liam Cahill, his fellow selectors and all his backroom staff on your wonderful achievement. Pipped at the post last year, redemption is yours and you deserve every bit of praise and acclaim that comes your way.

ALL-IRELAND HOMECOMING Monday night's homecoming celebrations in Semple Stadium were absolutely outstanding. The crowd in excess of thirty thousand was the most wonderful sight for players to witness as they walked out on the stage to the rapturous cheering, applause and jubilation of the magnificent Tipperary Supporters, thank you all, you were fantastic, wow what a night and occasion you created.

The tremendous night would not have happened without the wonderful work of the organising homecoming committee led by its chairman John Devane, event manager Con Hogan and Semple Stadium Manager David Morgan and all Stadium staff. Thanks to those who erected the stage and sound and helped in any way.

A special word of thanks to the wonderful people from Tipp FM who got the show on the road with fantastic entertainment and music to create the brilliant atmosphere for a most wonderful and special night for Tipperary. Thanks to everyone who played a part no matter how big or small it all worked a dream for Team Tipperary.

BUSINESS

Income Tax Deadline and Financial Review Time It’s that time of the year again and the filing dates for the 2015 Income Tax Returns are almost upon us. On the 31st October each year, a selfemployed individual/company director and PAYE worker with untaxed non PAYE income is required to: • File his/her Income Tax Return for the previous calendar year.

• Pay the Balance of tax for the previous calendar year.

• Make a Preliminary Tax payment for the current calendar year.

For customers who file the 2015 Form 11 return and make the appropriate payment through the Revenue Online Service (ROS) the due date is extended to Thursday the 10th November 2016.

PAYE customers who are required by Revenue to file a Form 12 for 2015 and who opt to use the ‘e’ version, the due date is also extended to 10th November 2016.

TAX AND FINANCIAL REVIEW POINTS Late filing issues • A surcharge (fine) of the tax due of up to 5% or €12,695 whichever is the lesser can arise if the return is filed within two months after the deadline.

• If the return is filed more than two months after the deadline, a surcharge of 10% is imposed subject to a maximum of €63,485.

• Interest of .0219% per day also arises on any liability not paid which approximates to about 8% a year.

2. Use all available reliefs and credits The following are some of the more popular reliefs remaining: • Health expenses are available for relief at the 20% standard tax rate. Not all medical and dental expenses are eligible. Keep evidence of the expenses claimed.

• Nursing Home fees and the costs of employing a person to care for an incapacitated person in their home are relieved at the taxpayers’ marginal rate of tax.

• Home Carers Tax Credit is a valuable credit available for certain married couples depending on their incomes.

• Tuition fees for third level courses will qualify for income tax relief at the standard rate of tax for approved courses in approved colleges. The relief is only available on the excess over €3,000 for full-time courses and €1,500 for part-time courses. Relief is not available in respect of administration, registration or examination fees.

3. Farmers and tax Farmers are currently experiencing levels of income volatility across all farming sectors.

Availing of the following can help in reducing your tax bill: • Get an actual or reliable estimate of your liability for 2016 to reduce this year’s preliminary tax payment.

• Claiming the correct stock relief.

• Payment of legitimate family wages.

• Offsetting entire 2015 super levy liability even when payment is spread over three years.

• Pension top-up.

• Carefully consider income averaging: - New averaging rules for the 2015 tax year.

- For farmers previously in averaging the profits were averaged over three years but from the 2015 tax year this has changed to four and five years depending on the farmer.

- When profits are rising income averaging yields a benefit but where profits are falling averaging could be a cost.

- It is not a straight forward process opting in and out of income averaging as opting out can result in additional tax payable because Revenue has the right to review the previous years.

- Income averaging is not for everyone and all parties must understand how it operates.

4. Pension tax relief and pension review - If cash flow allows one way of reducing your self-employed tax bill is to make a pension contribution. Tax relief up to 40% is available on pension contributions.

- A contribution to your Personal Retirement Savings Account (PRSA) or Retirement Annuity Contract (RAC) before the tax deadlines can be made by the self-employed.

- Employees who are already included in their company pension scheme can pay an Additional Voluntary Contribution (AVC) before this date and offset it against the contributor’s 2015 tax bill.

- Medical Professionals such as GPs who are members of the GMS scheme and Medical Consultants who

are employees of the HSE can have two occupations with both the Private and Public Sectors. These professionals have the option of making both AVC contributions and contributions to their PRSA or RAC within Revenue maximum limits.

- Your pension should be reviewed with your adviser on a yearly basis at least. As you approach retirement you need to know exactly the asset mix of your pension funds i.e. equities (shares), bonds, property and cash etc. Your attitude to investment risk at this stage of your life is very important.

- You also need to consider what level of tax free lump sum you are likely to gain at retirement and how the rest of your fund will be drawn down during retirement i.e. Annuity drawdown, transfer to an Approved Retirement Fund (ARF)/Approved Minimum Retirement Fund (AMRF) or taken as taxable cash.

- Statistics are proving that people are living longer and funding for retirement is important for everyone to consider.

Everyone’s financial circumstances are different and it’s important to get independent tax and financial advice when reviewing your own financial matters.

I can be contacted at the details below in relation to the above information or any other financial and tax need.

Search for Ireland’s Best Young Entrepreneur gets underway in Tipperary The latest search to find Ireland’s Best Young Entrepreneur (IBYE) is getting underway in Tipperary this week, through Local Enterprise Office Tipperary.

With a €2million investment fund available, including a €50,000 investment fund for Tipperary winners, the enterprise initiative from the Department of Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation and Enterprise Ireland attracted 1,400 applications across the country last year and supported over 450 young entrepreneurs through training, mentoring and direct financial assistance.

Announcing the start of this year’s programme, the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation, Ms. Mary Mitchell O’ Connor T.D. said: “The quest to find Ireland's Best Young Entrepreneur is one of the most exciting initiatives to create new businesses and new jobs in recent years. IBYE generates that "can-do" spirit in which young people excel. I want to foster that spirit and to demonstrate that there is help out there for any young person that wants to take a risk and start their own business.

The first-stop-shop to get advice and support on starting a business is your Local Enterprise Office. I want to con-

gratulate the Local Enterprise Offices on rolling out IBYE and I look forward to meeting Ireland's young entrepreneurs up and down the country. I would encourage all young entrepreneurs, between the ages of 18 and 35 to talk to their Local Enterprise Office about the IBYE programme and discuss their business ideas.”

The initiative is co-ordinated by all 31 Local Enterprise Offices and begins with a nationwide competition across three categories at county level: Best Idea, Best Start-Up Business and Best Established Business. Around 450 applicants, across every Local Authority area, will be invited to regional ‘Entrepreneur Bootcamps’ in November, to help them develop their business and new venture ideas.

Speaking about Ireland’s Best Young Entrepreneur (IBYE), Minister for Employment and Small Business, Pat Breen T.D., said: "Ireland's Best Young Entrepreneur (IBYE) initiative offers a very significant stepping stone into the world of running your own business for young people aged 18 to 35. It's not just the scale of the investment fund on offer that makes IBYE so important,

IBYE entrants can go on to receive intensive enterprise boot camp training from their LEO under the programme, to help them establish and develop their entrepreneurship careers. The level and depth of the business mentoring, training and advice available during the LEO bootcamps has proven to be extremely effective in helping young ambitious business people to cope with all aspects of running a business, especially the preparation of focused business plans. Such plans are an essential tool for making a success of any business.

IBYE has proven to be a great success in all the regions and I would encourage young people with a business idea or currently running a business to apply for Ireland’s Best Young Entrepreneur”.

With an investment fund of €50,000, Local Enterprise Office Tipperary will award six investment prizes to three category winners and three runners-up, before the Regional Finals early next year.

The local winners in the Best Start-Up and Best Established Business categories will receive €15,000 each and the two runners-up will each receive €5,000. The Best Business Idea winner

locally will receive an investment prize of €7,000 and the runner-up will receive €3,000.

Rita Guinan Head of Enterprise with Local Enterprise Office Tipperary explains: “The €50,000 investment fund for Tipperary winners is a very important part of the competition and will help more young entrepreneurs to grow their businesses and create more jobs here locally. Other business supports, such as management training, networking and one-to-one mentoring are also at the heart of the IBYE competition.

450 young entrepreneurs benefitted from these business supports last year, so the rewards are there for participants, as well as for the winners. Taking part in IBYE will help Ireland’s young entrepreneurs to move their businesses to the next level, whatever stage their business is at.”

To enter, young entrepreneurs between the ages of 18 and 35 in Tipperary are being asked to visit the competition website at www.ibye.ie, to submit their entry online. The closing date to enter is Friday, October 14th and there is no entry fee.

Duggans Builders Sponsorship. (L to R): Kevin Duggan, Mick Heerey (President Athletics Ireland), Marian Howe (Chairperson Templemore A.C.) and Mick Connell (Templemore A.C.)

It is one of a handful of Athletic Association of Ireland Club which owns and manages its own facility. Since its foundation the club has spent €1.6 million on Capital Development, including a Clubhouse; an eight lane floodlight, Synthetic Athletic Track; Equipment Store I.A.A.F Standard Equipment; Maintenance Equipment and Security Fencing. 50% was funded by the Department of Sport/Education over a time period stretching back to 1982. A further 10% was invested in this project by the local authority – North Tipperary C.C and Templemore Town Council. The remaining 40% has been raised from internal sources of Finance. This equates to €640,000 covering the entire project – not bad for a town with a population of 2,500 people. The club is debt free.

The Clubs hinterland covers 650sq miles in area. The club possess twenty Qualified National Coaches (through A.A.I.), ranging from ‘Little Athletics’ to level three Coaches.

29 Athletes from the club have represented Ireland at International Level.

Tomas Coman represented Ireland in the Sydney Olympics, while Margaret Danagher represented Ireland at the World Cross Country in Leopardstown in 2002.

Three Athletes from the Club obtained Athletic Scholarships to the U.S.A. • Margaret Danagher and Monica Reilly obtained Scholarships to the University of Tulsa, Oklahoma • Brian Murray achieved a similar reward in the University of Mobile in Southern Alabama.

National Medals continue to be won annually at Juvenile, Junior, Under 23, Senior and Masters Level. This year alone, yet another athlete, Simon Archer, has been awarded a Sports Scholarship to Letterkenny Institute of Technology, having run 22.32 second indoors in the 200 metres.

But Templemore Athletic Club is unique in other ways, apart from owning its own Sports Complex, it caters for: 1. Special Olympics 2. Para Olympians 3. Fit-4-Life 4. Woodland Strollers walking Group In Special Olympics in 2015 Irelands Gold Medalist on the ‘Track’ in Los Angeles was won by Club Member Rachel Ryan in the 400 metres. Rachel has been a member of Templemore A.C. for fourteen years and this was a just award for years of endeavour.

In Paralympics, Catherine Dunne won National Titles at Wheelchair Shot, Discus and 100 metres. Many other Paralympians use the excellent Templemore Facilities to prepare for the ‘Rio’ Paralympics later this year.

The Advent of Fit-4-Life in 2012, through A.A.I. is managed by a sub committee of women and men. The present membership is approximately 110 members. They meet in squad ses-

sions with their team leaders on Thursday nights at 8.00pm and in smaller groups (as time allows), 2 of 3 times on a weekly basis throughout the year. This is a programme set up by A.A.I. to encourage fitness and recreational running through involvement in the local club.

As an off-shoot from Fir-4-Life people decided that they needed a walking group – so ‘Woodland Strollers’ were formed earlier this season, catering for men and women who meet on the Athletic Track on Mondays at 8.00pm. This is then followed-up by smaller groups of friends meeting up throughout the week and walking the local woodlands, (with safety in numbers being the aim, as well as healthy walking).

Templemore A.C. has come a long way from a green-field development and no athletes to its existing facilities, which will be expanded further in the future and a combined membership of competitive and non-competitive persons of over 300 members.

International Athletes Many athletes from Templemore Athletic Club have gone on to represent Ireland at International Level, covering a wide variety of events and distances. Those athletes are: • Mark Gillen (800m & 1500m) • Mary Stapleton (H.J) • Joe Kenny (Javelin & Triple Jump) • Johnnie Doran (Cross Country & Relay) • Brain Murray (800m, 1500m & Cross Country) • Aisling Dolan, Jackie Cahill, Geraldine Ingram, Marie Danagher, Martin O Brien, Christine Moore and Liam Harty (Race Walkers) • Rachel Mc Millan (H.J) • Alan Dunford (100m & 200m) • Kieran Jackman (100m & 200m) • Jarlath Duffy (100m & 200m) • Tomas Coman (400m) • Monica Reilly (800m) • Margaret Danagher (1500m & Cross Country) • Alan Kavanagh (Hammer) • Stephen O Toole (Marathon/Ultra Marathon) • Christine Cussen (Discus & Javelin) • Adrian McGinley (400m & Relay) • Catriona Ryan (Shot Putt) • Ailbhe Carroll (Triathlon) • John Dwyer (Hammer) At Special Olympic Level three Athletes represented their Country at International Level: • Rachel Ryan (Current) Special Olympic World 400m Champion • Myra Moran (Relay) Special Olympics 2003 in Dublin • Julie McGrath (Bronze) Beijing Games 2007 29 Athletes in total have worn the green jersey.

The winning team on that November day in 1994 was: Brian Murray (1st) Mick Delahunty (2nd) Donie kennedy (4th) Mark Saunders (10th) John Slattery (13th) The remainder of the team tommy Conroy, James Tierney and Richie Butler.

The same names again feature strongly in the victories achieved in the Novice A & B winning Road Race Teams of the 1990’s, with Michael Delahunty and Mark Jordon being victorious in 1993 and again Tom Ryan (Borrisoleigh) winning the Race in Ballynonty in 1995.

The only County Senior Women’s Cross Country Title was won in 1995 with the scoring three being, Michelle Howe, Mary Kinnane and Dolores Ingram. This was over 4k and was staged in Moyglass.

In 1993 on the same day that Johnnie Doran won the Novice C.C Title, Templemore A.C. had a glorious double when Margaret Danagher won the Novice ladies Title.

Prior to the nineties, Mick Doyle stamped his claim on the Road Races winning Novice & Masters Titles on the Road and at Cross Country. Mick also holds the club record for the Marathon of 2 hours 43 minutes.

Present Day The next crop of Athletes continues to come on the conveyor belt for the future.

People like the ‘Dooley’ gang, Roscrea, Ondrei Olah, Eimear Delargy, Fiona and Siobhan Hennessy, Jack Barnett, Nessa Towey, Nevins, Crous, Cozens, Conor Ryan, the Carroll’s, Robert Kennedy, Robert Bennett and Liam Meade etc. are all being nurtured by the club coaches for the coming years

Sadness The club recently lost a stalwart from the coaching fraternity with the passing of a former coaching pillar, Seamus Kavanagh (R.I.P). Seamus trained Athletes at Cross Country and in Track & Field where he specialised in the Discus. He was a great exponent of the All Ireland Track & Field League and saw it as a means of giving all Athletes a chance (over 16). We again extend sympathy to his entire family, but in particular his granddaughter Rebecca who at under-9 is also an up and coming Athlete.

Appreciation The survival and success of the past forty years did not happen by chance. The hard work of the Coaches, Trainers, Committee, Track Development Committee, Fundraisers and helpers (in all and many capacities) have all teamed up to earn success and good name the club now holds throughout the land. Everyone, past and present can claim part of the success that Templemore Athletic Club has become.

Please God we can all soldier together to continue on the pathway to further success in the coming year.

Certainly this Club leaves an impression on the heart and soul of the local community and indeed further afield, the memories which neither time nor circumstance shall ever eradicate.

Noel Colleran Ph.D., principal of the College sees the development of Troy Studios as significant of an appreciation of the durable employment opportunities associated with the film industry. He went on to say ‘I am satisfied that Templemore College is responding to these new opportunities by providing excellent programmes associated with the film industry to ensure our students progress into employment with confidence in their abilities and skills to be successful’. He continued, ‘there may be students who have just completed their leaving cert. or indeed more mature students, who feel that this is the career path for them, and if so there is still a number of places available on these, and other programmes in the College’.

ENTERTAINMENT & EVENTS Culture Night at The Source Thurles Culture Night comprises hundreds of events across Ireland and overseas. From nation’s capital to county town, everyone’s getting involved and The Source Arts Centre is opening its doors until late on Friday 16 September for an evening of free entertainment and birthday celebrations for you, your family and friends to enjoy. The Source is 10 years old this autumn!

This year The Source Arts Centre celebrates its 10th birthday celebrations on Culture Night. As part of the annual outpouring celebrating the Arts, the night commences with the official launch of Tipperary based artist Sheenagh Geoghegan’s exhibition ‘Stoma’. Sheenagh graduated with a BA in Fine Art (Painting Dept) from the Crawford Col-

lege of Art in 2003. In 2013 she completed an MFA at The Slade School of Art, University College London where she was awarded the Stanford Scholarship, The Orpen Award and The Charles Heath Hayward Award. For her project at The Source Arts Centre, she looks to investigate space and objects ‘as archives of experience’ in terms of their ability to tap into our collective sense of disorientation and disquietude.

Later on in the night and celebrating more Tipp’ talent, Thurles musician Diarmuid Sutton performs his new album ‘It Is What It Is’. While living in Galway, Diarmuid met The Stunning's drummer Cormac Dunne when his car broke down after a gig. Giving him a lift home, Diarmuid and Cormac got talking about Féile in

Miss Tipperary Holding Fundraiser in Garrykennedy for Alzheimer Society The current Miss Tipperary, Niamh Kennedy, is organising an event as a fundraiser for The Alzheimer Society of Ireland on Saturday 17th September. The event takes place in, Larkins Bar & Restaurant, Garrykennedy, where Niamh also works, from 5pm to 8pm and beyond!

There will be live music, a BBQ, face painting for kids and a prize raffle with plenty of amazing prizes.

Niamh was crowned Miss Tipperary back in May of this year in the Aherlow House Hotel. She will represent Co. Tipperary in Miss Ireland on the 23rd of this month and possibly go on to Miss World in Washington DC later this year if crowned Miss Ireland.

Niamh told the Tipp Tatler why she is organising this event in aid of The Alzheimer Society "The 'Beauty with a Purpose' is a very important part of the Miss World organization. With this in mind I have decided to hold a fundraiser in aid of The Alzheimer Society of Ireland. This charity is very close to my heart as several family members, including my Father, have passed away from the disease.

My dad was diagnosed in 2001 at just 42 years old.

In the years following, a brother and sister were also diagnosed. My fundraiser will be in memory of all members of my family that have passed away from the disease."

Entry will be free to the event with charges for the food and raffle tickets. All proceeds are going directly to The Alzheimers Society.

‘Donie and the Dancing Master’ Jewellery Exhibition in Templemore Library Extended A Jewellery Exhibition by Eileen Hassett, Jewellery Designer and Goldsmith, in the Templemore Library which ran during August has been extended until September 15th. A beautiful collection of necklaces and earrings which she created, is on display in the library.

She decided to host the exhibition locally after a successful exhibition in the School of Jewellery in July.

Her interest in jewellery has always been there, so she decided to act on this passion and started with a course in Templemore College, before going on to complete other courses in Colaiste Mhuire in Thurles.

Joining students both from Ireland and abroad, she studied at the Grennan Mill Craft School in Thomastown, an important centre for the study of crafts, before doing further studies with the Thurles Chamber and then the School of Jewellery Ireland.

Drawing inspiration from letters written by her late father Donal Clarke who was the founder of Clarkes Hardware in Templemore, she has entitled her exhibition “A Dancing Master”.

Having an interest in her family history, she discovered the letters which were written for a competition in 1937. One such letter was about the “Dancing Man”, which was a dancing puppet type figure which featured at fairs.

This and the other letters can be seen on www.duchas. ie in the School’s Col-

lection section under ‘Mr. Clarke, homemade toys’.

Included in the necklaces Eileen has created, is the Dancing Man which has blue and gold precious stones Citroen and Topaz, and the Irish Dancing Cailin which has red and green precious stones, Peridot and Garnet.

While the “Dancing Man” is one of her collections exhibited, the other two are “Square Peg in a Round Hole”, which illustrates how we don’t always fit in, and the “Native Indian Collection”, an idea which was inspired by a trip to Salt Lake City with a group from Jim of the Mills.

Eileen, who also runs a business dealing with uniforms and ladies fashions, will run her exhibition at Templemore Library for the month of August. Opening times at the Library are Monday to Wednesday 10am-1pm & 2pm5.30pm, Thursday 12.30pm-5pm & 6pm-8pm, Friday 10am-1pm & 2pm5pm. For more information, go to Eileen’s Facebook page: Eileen Hassett-Jewellery Designer and Goldsmith.

(continued from previous issue)

Child Separation Anxiety Disorder Diagnosis of. Some ways to ease normal By Jim O’Shea separation anxiety in children. (Continued from last issue) Here are a few more hints on how to deal with severe separation anxiety, again offered by HELPGUIDE.org – Educate yourself about separation anxiety disorder. If you learn about how your child experiences this disorder, you can more easily sympathize with his or her struggles.

Listen to and respect your child’s feelings. For a child who might already feel isolated by his or her disorder, the experience of being listened to can have a powerful healing effect.

Talk about the issue. It is healthier for children to talk about their feelings. Be empathetic, but also remind the child that he or she survived the last separation.

Reduce your own stress. Children are like sponges. They absorb all our feelings including our stress. By reducing your own stress, you ease the atmosphere in the home, and convey a sense of peace and calm to your child. This is a really important point.

Help a child who has been absent from school return as quickly as possible. Even if a shorter school day is necessary initially, children's symptoms are more likely to decrease when they discover that they can survive the separation.

Praise your child’s efforts. Use the smallest of accomplishments—going to bed without a fuss, a good report from school—as reason to give your child positive reinforcement.

Communicate with your child’s school. Ask the Principal to allow leeway for a time about punctuality, so that the pressure on the child is eased. If your child has been absent, reintroduce him or her gradually to school.

Communication with home. Ensure that the child has the opportunity to make a short phone call home to get reassurance.

Using school support staff.

Cutbacks have affected the number of support staff, but the use of a Guidance Counsellor can be very Anticipate separation difficulty.
