Tradesmen Certs Dear editor,

with reference to our recent phone call regarding a tradesman advertised as an electrician who didn’t have a cert, I also rang a painter who when asked for a reference also ran a mile. I was giving up hope but I decided to give it one more chance and rang David O’Sullivan to do the gutters. He was absolutely fabulous and he also power-washed the outside of the house and did a fantastic job. I would very highly recommended him to anyone so thank you for posting his advertisements in the Post as I would like to keep it local. My faith in getting proper tradesmen is back. Kind regards, Una Long Frankfield

Corruption in Irish Sport Dear Editor, Fianna Fail TD Timmy Dooley says he’s concerned that a perception of corruption in Irish sport might have an adverse affect on our tourism industry. I’m sure he stays up all night worrying about our sporting reputation abroad. Mr. Dooley was one of 114 TDs who voted against a Dail Bill to abolish live hare coursing in June. I wonder if he and the other politicians who see fit to allow this cruel practice to continue have any concerns about the negative image it presents internationally. Hare coursing is about as far removed from the Olympic Spirit as you can get. Instead of promoting fair competition or equality of opportunity, it involves an unequal contest between pairs of hypedup greyhounds pitted against the gentlest creature in the Irish countryside. Since the rejection of the anti-hare coursing bill by our politicians, video footage of hares being mauled, forcibly struck, and tossed into the air like rag dolls for fun at Irish coursing events have spread like wildlife across the globe via social media. Some of the footage shows the terror in the eyes of the innocent creatures as they twist and turn and dodge on mud sodden or water logged fields in the depths of winter. And the child-like screeches of the hares can be heard in some instances…a pitiable sobbing that has failed to elicit a response from our political establishment People everywhere are now seeing what our national parliament endorsed as a legitimate sporting activity: A practice banned in almost all the jurisdictions that once permitted it…a “game” that shuns publicity. The events card at every fixture carries the stark warning: All Unauthorized Photography Strictly Prohibited”. People have been beaten up and/or ejected from coursing events for attempting to gather evidence of what goes on. Hare coursing has the potential to hurt our tourist industry in the long term. Animal welfare groups in several countries are already advising people to boycott Ireland over a “sport” that makes the doping scandals look harmless by comparison.

The politicians who support this medieval barbarism should hang their heads in shame. Thanking you, John Fitzgerald Lower Coyne Street, Callan

Gardening Things to do This Week

The summer is about to leave us. Hopefully the weather of the future will be a lot more compatible. As usual we try to give you a few ideas on what might need doing in your garden this week. Not everything in this article may apply to your garden - but there might be something, if not this week maybe next week. Flower Garden Feed dahlias every fortnight to sustain flowering and build up tubers. Continue spraying roses and Michaelmas daisies with fungicide, as diseases are more likely now. Tie in new stems on climbing roses, arching them downwards to encourage flowering side shoots. Kitchen Garden Make new strawberry beds and transplant rooted runners to new positions. Check sweetcorn regularly and gather as soon as it is ripe. Trim chives and pot up for winter use. Sow a large leafy turnip variety for winter “greens”. Start covering endive with a large pot or dinner plate to blanch the hearts in 3 - 4 weeks time.

Tommy Fleming returns with his powerful musical/drama Paddy the Musical Friday, 9th & Saturday, 10th September, 8pm Cork Opera House are delighted to welcome back to their stage, international singer Tommy Fleming for two nights of simply outstanding theatre this September. Following phenomenal success in 2015, Fleming brings the critically acclaimed Paddy The Musical back to Cork as part of a nationwide tour this autumn. Tommy Fleming plays the part of young Irish emigrant Patrick Murphy who leaves Mayo in the 1960’s in search of fame and fortune. Also starring Ollie Rouse, Deirdre O’Meara, Mary Marren and Eileen Slevin, the show follows Paddy’s life in London and Ireland over a 25 year period. Initially set in rural Ireland in the 1960’s where few opportunities exist, the main protagonist heads for the building sites of London like so many others before him. He leaves behind a heartbroken mother and grandmother as well as his childhood sweetheart Kathleen and vows to return soon with enough money to set up a better life in Ireland. However, on the night of his arrival Patrick encounters a chance meeting with Paddy ‘The Shovel’ (Carney) and his life changes forever.

Lawns & Hedges Rake lawns in the next week or two to scratch out thatch and other dead or loose material. Greenhouse Remove a little shading from the glass as heat levels decline. Pot up spring-flowering bulbs for early colour indoors. Take conifer cuttings with a heel for rooting in a cold frame. Continue taking cuttings of all tender perennials, indoors and out, as they will root well before winter. Finish repotting, house and greenhouse plants in the next 2 weeks; after that, wait until Spring. Finish thinning grapes. Feed cacti for the last time, but continue watering in warm weather. Take cuttings of scented pelargoniums in gritty compost. Water Garden Start thinning vigorous marginal and bog garden growth, especially where species have finished flowering. In General Spray new ground with glyphosate for maximum impact. Prepare sites for new evergreens of all kinds

Interesting Fact A sunflower is not just one flower. Both the fuzzy brown center and the classic yellow petals are actually 1,000 – 2,000 individual flowers, held together on a single stalk.

Poetry

WRITERS GROUP MEETINGS

Ronnie McGinn’s

Corner

The poetry of personal feeling has always dominated my world and I fervently believe that as long as poets are individuals, all different from one another, and so long as they feel impelled to express their feelings in durable form, there will be lyric poetry.

The Road to a Friend’s House The road to a friend’s house is never too long; When you feel the need, and you wish to belong, And all your excuses have come to a halt A true friend will listen and smile at your faults. For friends are a treasure, not easy to find, A friend will accept you, and listen in kind, Will share in your humour, and hold you in trust, When down to your last, they will make you the first.

Midleton Writers - “My Place” Midleton Thurs 1st September at 8.00pm Ballincollig Writers - The White Horse - Monday 5th September at 7.30pm Mallow Poetry Group - Mallow Library - Tuesday 6th September at 12.30pm Bishopstown Writers - Bishopstown Library Thurs 8th September at 6.15pm Ballinlough Writers - Ballinlough Community Centre Fri 16th September at 5.30pm Douglas Writers Group, - Frankfield House - Friday the 9th September at 5.30pm Frankfield House - Around the Fireside – Tues 20th September from 8.30pm Carrigaline & District Writers’ Group meet at the Stables Bar in Carrigaline, on the first Saturday of every month at 11:30am. Writers in all genres are welcome to come along to our meetings, where like-minded people share their ideas & experiences in a relaxed environment. Further information is available on 021-4320042. Ó Bhéal - Open mic every Mon at The Hayloft (upstairs at The Long Valley), Winthrop Street Writers Workshop - every Tuesday 3pm – 5pm Bishopstown Library. It’s not for beginners, but for people who are already committed to writing and have quite an amount of work already written.

As calm as sunshine, on a fine summers day, A soul mate, in spite of whatever you say, So treat them sincere, be honest and true Remember your friends are as human as you. And return the favour when ever you can, And watch for the day when they’ll need a hand For when all’s added up, you will find in the end; Nothing on Earth is worth more than a friend. If you’ve lost everything and you’re drowning in doubt A friend will walk in when the world has walked out, And lift up your spirits and make you feel strong, The road to a friend’s house is never too long. Ronnie McGinn

Mahon Community News

Mahon Community Centre is as busy as ever in these late summer days just as it always is come hail, rain or shine. The very busy Maria’s Community Cafe has played host to the innumerable groups and individuals who make Mahon Community Centre the busiest community resource in the Republic. As you can see from our photographic array, the Rainbow Club has been its typically active self while our Rivver Dancers have been rehearsing and treating us to snippets of their brilliance and prowess. Amongst the other groups, the voluntary Beginnings Parent and Toddler Group have been meeting between 10am and midday on Wednesdays and Thursdays. It’s a useful, beneficial, very accessible support group and it performs its part in keeping Mahon Community Centre a central resource in the life of the wider community that is Mahon.

Beginnings

Coffey congratulate Maria whose role in Maria’s Community Cafe is as tireless as it is facilitative of Mahon Community Centre. Well done, Maria. You do a lot of excellent work for your community!

We reflect now on Ringmahon Rangers in the team’s tie with the semi-professional Cobh Ramblers in the FAI Cup. The scoreline of 4-0 to the Cobh side doesn’t ultimately reflect the approach made by our local team to the fixture which actually had its bright spots from our perspective. We love our local club and thank the team for their approach to the match which we found committed and combative. Ringmahon Rangers is actually moving from strength to strength and has just had its most successful year in all competitions. The Club is a very positive aspect of the way in which Mahon plants its feet in the life of the city and suburbs and with the Club’s approach administratively and otherwise taken into consideration, we know there will be brighter days ahead. Keep up the great work, lads.

Our favourite River Dancers

The Douglas Post is delighted by Mahon Community Centre’s role in the vibrant and actually dynamic community of Mahon. We always find that an issue will fly out the door in very large numbers from Mahon Community Centre and we take a deep and abiding pleasure in watching Mahon transform more and more fully into a community that prospers, that cares about its own and whose people volunteer in big numbers.

‘Pride of Place’ Competition at DCA DCA Committee and key figures from community groups around Douglas were a hive of activity preparing for this competition over the last two weeks, finally culminating in the visit of two judges to our centre on Fri. August 19th to adjudicate our presentations and decide our chances of winning in this year’s Pride of Place competition. Entries are by way of nomination by local authorities. Cork County Council nominated DCA to be participants in the competition which is organized by Co-operation Ireland’s Local Authority All Island Steering Forum and sponsored by IPB Insurance. Over one hundred community groups participated in last year’s event and it’s an all-island competition open to communities across the 32 counties. Groups that participated were DCA’s Meals-on-Wheels, Park Events, Pre-School and Playgroup, Tidy Towns, Lions House, Douglas Young at Heart, Douglas ICA, Unislim, Douglas Post, Douglas Writer’s Group, Douglas group of Scouting Ireland, Douglas GAA, local schools and St. Luke’s community. There were two local history projects, ‘The History of Douglas’ by senior girls from Douglas NS and their teacher Colleen Forsythe, and History of Mary Hanley, founder of DCA. The event was opened by County Mayor Séamus McGrath and DCA Chairman Billy Coleman introduced The Douglas Post

the judges, Tom and Alison Dowling. He welcomed everybody in the audience of over 50 visitors, including local political representatives and members of community groups from all over Douglas and explained the format the event would take. Paudie Martin then gave a 20 minute Power Point presentation to the judges and judge, Tom Dowling, spoke with the audience asking them lots of questions about various aspects of community life in Douglas. After that he and Alison looked at all of the presentations and visited the facilities in the community park. A hard-working team of lady volunteers provided teas and coffees alongside a great selection of cakes.

Fab Flowers, Douglas East

It was a wonderful, rare opportunity to showcase Douglas, with all its amenities and activities, provided mostly by volunteers who willingly give of their time to make a better community. One of the most telling points Judge Tom made was that “no proper society will leave people out”. When you think about that, Pride of Place is throwing out a challenge to us to strive at being inclusive to everyone in our community. The result of the competition will be given in Belfast on 26th November, where the final judging will take place. Douglas artist Valerie Jolley whose paintings hang in Aras an Uachtaran is recommencing painting lessons at her studio between 2pm and 4pm on Monday afternoons from September 12 th. In addition to being a superlative painter of great distinction she’s adamant about providing attendees with instruction in “all mediums for all painterly levels of experience and ability”. You can book your class with Valerie on 021 4893550 or otherwise get in touch with her on 089 8468623. Issue 1234

Back to School The Cobbler Renews Footwear Brilliantly and Enhances Your Life Frank K Hanover

A good pair of shoes that suits you is one of the most critical personal choices in life. Your feet carry you and they’re crucial to posture and of course your personal sense of style. We spend a lot on footwear that allow us to go anywhere, do anything we have to do and to give us confidence in our physical well being. What happens with a dependable pair of shoes or boots however is that they wear down or get tired on sole, heel or upper and if we’re not to develop problems with gait and our bodies compensating for that, they need to be maintained and given added life, value and comfort. Nobody in Cork, whether they go to The Cobbler in Oliver Plunkett Street in the city or to The Cobbler at Douglas Court need worry about their favourite and most exquisite footwear. Tom Dwyer who owns and manages The Cobbler at both locations has a far greater experience than anybody else in Cork environs. His shops have benefited from repeat business since 1980 because he goes to such lengths to give the best service in Cork. In addition to soling, heeling, treating leather and other materials from which shoes and boots are fashioned, his customers have a deserved confidence in Tom and his staff’s ability to honestly repair and refurbish footwear. I spoke with Tom this week and asked him about the service provided by The Cobbler. “We do everything to extend the life and strength of the individually preferred footwear of our clients. We sole, we heel and we refurbish and we provide product diversity.” Tom tells me he’s dealt with client footwear of all types because that’s what clients of The Cobbler require. He’s added life, comfort, endurance and value to expensive male shoe brands such as Grensons, Barkers, and Church while a particular lady who brought a pair of rather elegant shoes in that needed an insole which had a price tag of twelve-hundred Euro on them was also provided for. Tom’s business is seasonal and its busiest time for repairs is winter at which time The Cobbler stocks a huge year-round array of polishes, insoles, dyes, shoe creams and shoe trees to facilitate the keeping of shape as new and an array of ladies bags. At the moment, The Cobbler is in the back-to-school season. Everything today, including the array of school bags available at both stores, is designed to facilitate the pupil or student returning to school. As you’d expect of The Cobbler, key cutting is a feature of the business. But why should you visit The Cobbler? Tom, “We’re the best because we provide a top service, use the best materials and we have the strongest customer care service. Often, shoe repairers are grumpy and they only take on jobs that allow for the biggest mark up. But our customers, and I’m speaking of people who prefer to keep a shoe for fifteen years and more because they find them so suitable to them, know that at The Cobbler we’ll find a way to prolong the life of their favourite footwear.”

The Cobbler is contactable at Oliver Plunkett Street on 0214277696, at Douglas Court 021-4363577 and it has a Facebook page and a website at www.thecobblercork.com so you should definitely pay Tom and his team a visit. It’s very well worth your while.

Konfident Kidz Delivers Confident Children Through Dramatic Engagement

Frank K Hanover

Evaline Whelton and her uniquely as well as highly qualified team are teachers who develop the confidence and integration within communities of many children from Junior Infants between the ages of four and five up to the age of sixteen by way of drama throughout Cork environs. You can contact Konfident Kidz at 0872945977, at www. konfidentkidz.ie as well as by email at info@konfidentkidz.ie and that’s a great idea as it’ll inform parents of what happens here. Konfident Kidz provide an extraordinarily wide ranging and multi-location after school service that looks at children individually so that the benefit of increased confidence is had by all children who participate. Evaline books facilities at Ballinlough, Kinsale, Bishopstown, Carrigaline, Bandon, Farran and Ballincollig and this year she expects to run no fewer than 60 classes at ninne different locations. Within three distinct groups children learn about Drama, Speech and Stagecraft in one class while another provides individual attention in Drama, Confidence-building and Communication. Further, Konfident Kidz provides a third strand of classes for children living with Autism and Aspergers making Konfident Kidz the most diverse such service within the Douglas Post distribution area. Evaline studied drama from a very young age and qualified in Drama at the Cork School of Music before qualifying in Drama Teaching at the London College of Music. Her 14 years in the profession strongly indicate the ethos and practice of Konfident Kidz but her six members of staff are no less qualified having qualified in Drama and acquiring their Teaching Diploma from UCC. Why should parents and their children come to Konfident Kidz? Evaline, “We’re very child-centred. It’s a matter of priority that no child attending a class given by Konfident Kidz staff is left in the wings. It simply doesn’t happen because each child is individually important and we feel that this is critical and fundamental to what we do.” In life the children who grow into purposeful and accomplished adults are typically those who’ve been nurtured and developed and given experiences at a young age. It’s very noticeable that at Konfident Kidz the inner and outer life of the children who attend is enhanced by the service provided so get in touch with Evaline and her team and give your children a big opportunity for future happiness.

(Inquiries Anne Healy [AnneFHealy@Eircom.net]) Searching for Midleton’s Missing 19th Century Emigrants (by Damian Shiels) We looked at advertisements placed in the New York Irish American Weekly newspaper seeking information about East Cork immigrants. In an era where many people were illiterate, and communication often difficult, it was easy for families and friends to lose touch with one another. One way that Irish emigrants tried to find loved ones was through placing ‘Information Wanted’ advertisements in Irish immigrant newspapers in the hope that the person they sought might hear of it. In this post, we have compiled the significant number of Information Wanted ads from the Boston Pilot, looking specifically at people from Midleton. The Midleton advertisements range in date from 1841 to 1911, and are organised chronologically. Many are extremely poignant,

Interesting Fact! The longest place name in Ireland is Muckanaghederdauhaulia, in County Galway.

as brothers and sisters, mothers and fathers sought to find each other, often after many decades apart. Here we discover Midleton people who had tried to make new lives, like James McSwiney who became a farmer in California, or Daniel Sullivan, who likely followed gold to New South Wales. John Buckley, who lived on Midleton’s Main Street, hoped to find his brother in New Jersey, while James Dexter was wondering why his brother had never returned to Boston following a visit to their mother on Chapel Street four years previously. The influence of the Pilot was far reaching– one of the most poignant advertisements sees Midleton’s Thomas Denehy, then living in Wollongong in Australia, seeking to make contact with his brothers and sister who had emigrated to America 50 years before.

Rare Old Photos

Noreen Williamson 1932 - 2016 by George Thompson

ith the huge housing and population increase in Douglas over the past thirty years, it has swallowed up the original Douglas community, leaving not too many true original ‘Old Douglas’ people left. Noreen Williamson was one of those original ‘Old Douglas’ natives – born, bred, worked, married and brought up a family – all in Douglas Village.

Jerry Hall and Mick Jagger Bonnie and Clyde

I have known Noreen since the early 70s and she was that tornado many would have seen about Douglas, rushing about at twice the speed of sound – a doer, fixer, facilitator, she was there for everyone and anyone she could help, never looking for recognition or a spotlight and she went about her tasks with vigour and positivity. I remember many a person in Douglas who Noreen managed to get fixed up with a job and if she knew someone with a job to offer she usually got it filled.

Che Guevara

Kirk and Michael Douglas

On finishing school Noreen went to work at St. Patricks Mills where she was one of the last workers at the mill in the late 70s. Together with husband Dave, she was very much involved with Grangevale AFC and a tireless fundraiser and social function organiser for the club. I remember her tenacity when it came to fundraising, her cheeky smile and subtle pressure on any ‘victim’ she drew a spot prize out of. Nobody could say NO to Noreen because of her endearing character. Likewise, she was a tireless fundraiser for the building fund of Frankfield church for which she never received any recognition nor did she seek it, she just did it without any ifs or buts. Apart from fundraising, Noreen loved West Cork and family weekends and holidays in Owenahincha were a highlight of her life, where she loved to go fishing – dispensing of caught mackerel and pollock, gutting, cleaning and cooking them was her way. She sold more mobile homes for CJ Harrington in Owenahincha than any salesman could ever hope to sell. Family and friends became neighbours in Owenahincha where Noreen organised day trips to Sherkin Island, Skibbereen or Dunmanway, nights around the table and a game of cards and once more if a problem needed solving while on holiday, a lift needed to or from Cork, she usually had it fixed or sorted without fuss and in a jiffy. Over the past number of years Noreen’s health has suffered including the need for dialysis a few times a week, nevertheless she still went about her daily life as she always did, with a hurried vigour and in true character she never once moaned or grumbled but endeared herself with her positivity to health carers and all who crossed her path. Noreen Williamson was a true unassuming character of Douglas, an unsung hero. I never ever heard her utter a bad word against anyone while her positive attitude was an inspiration to all.

Ask your Pharmacist By Garvan J. Lynch

Alzheimer’s Disease Alzheimer’s disease is the most common cause of dementia — the loss of intellectual and social abilities severe enough to interfere with daily functioning. In Alzheimer’s disease, healthy brain tissue degenerates, causing a steady decline in memory and mental abilities. Today, 44,000 people and 50,000 carers in Ireland are impacted by Alzheimer’s disease or related dementia. Although there’s no cure, treatments may improve the quality of life for people with Alzheimer’s disease. Those with Alzheimer’s — as well as those who care for them — need support and affection from friends and family to cope. Alzheimer’s disease may start with slight memory loss and confusion, but it eventually leads to irreversible mental impairment that destroys a person’s ability to remember, reason, learn and imagine. No one factor appears to cause Alzheimer’s disease. Instead, scientists believe that it may take a combination of genetic, lifestyle and environmental factors to trigger the onset of symptoms. While the causes of Alzheimer’s are poorly understood, its effect on brain tissue is clear. Alzheimer’s disease damages and kills brain cells. Currently, there’s no cure for Alzheimer’s disease. Doctors sometimes prescribe drugs to improve signs and symptoms that often accompany Alzheimer’s, including sleeplessness, wandering, anxiety, agitation and depression. But only two varieties of medications have been proved to slow the cognitive decline associated with Alzheimer’s. Cholinesterase inhibitors. This group of medications includes Donepezil (Aricept), Rivastigmine (Exelon), galantamine (Reminyl) and Memantine (Ebixa) The first drug approved to treat moderate to severe stages of Alzheimer’s, Memantine, protects brain cells from damage caused by the chemical messenger glutamate. A healthy lifestyle may help prevent or postpone the development of Alzheimer’s disease. Because Alzheimer’s is most common in people over the age of 80, delaying the onset of the disease would increase the probability that people will die of other causes before Alzheimer’s has a chance to develop. Exercise your bodyHigher levels of physical activity have been associated with a lower incidence of Alzheimer’s disease. Exercise your brain, too. Maintaining mental fitness may delay the onset of dementia. Some researchers believe that lifelong mental exercise and learning may promote the growth of additional synapses; the connections between neurons, and delay the onset of dementia. If you are worried about Alzheimer’s, contact your GP. If you would like more information on Alzheimer’s, exercise programmes and general preventative strategies, contact Garvan at Lynch’s Pharmacy on 021-4366923.

Know Your Rights Question:

I intend to buy a drone. Are there any rules I should be aware of?

Answer:

McCarthy: Calls to Preserve and Enhance Blackrock’s Heritage Cllr Kieran McCarthy has welcomed the move to incorporate the old tram rails found at Blackrock Pier into the regeneration project. Calls by the public in Blackrock and regular walkers to the local walkways have called for a pier space that reflects the historic DNA of the area. Cllr McCarthy noted; “we have designs and it’s important we get the finished product right in reality. The inclusion of the rails in the overall design was completed last year. In the last few weeks, the rails have again been revealed as work on their safe inclusion has begun. One hundred years ago, the Corporation of Cork had the foresight to connect the city’s suburbs with the city centre through a tram network. The story of how the trams connected the old fishing village of Blackrock with the city is a worthy one to tell – connected in terms of the wealth of heritage in this corner of the city and connected in terms of experimenting with the provision of new transport networks. The trams were developed in connection with the Corporation’s roll-out of electricity in the city in 1898. The overhead tram lines themselves were electricity cables”. In 1897/98 the Corporation of Cork established a large electricity generating plant on Albert Road (now the site of the National Sculpture Factory). The Electric Tramways and Lighting Company Ltd. was registered in London and had a close working relationship with eminent electrical contractors, the British Thomson-Houston Company. The street track was completed by William Martin Murphy, who was a Berehaven man, but with a company in Dublin (the employer later involved in the Dublin 1913 Lockout). Mr Charles H Merz, one of British Thomson-Houston’s up and coming engineers, supervised the electric tramcar system roll out. Cork was to become the eleventh city in Britain and Ireland to have operating electric trams. The eventual termini included Blackrock, Sunday’s Well, Blackpool, St Luke’s Cross, and Tivoli. Cllr McCarthy noted: “By 1900, 35 electric tram cars operated throughout the city and suburbs. They were manufactured in Loughborough, UK and all were double deck in nature, open upstairs with a single-truck design. Most tram cars could hold at least 25 people upstairs and 20 downstairs. However, a key rule on the tram was that nobody could sit or stand on the driver’s front platform!”

Drones and model aircraft are both considered small, unmanned aircraft and the same rules apply to their operation. The rules are set out in the Small Unmanned Aircraft (Drones) and Rockets Order 2015 (SI 563/2015). Under the rules, all drones weighing 1kg or more must be registered with the Irish Aviation Authority (IAA). This includes the weight of the battery and all attached equipment, including cargo, at the start of its flight. You must be over 16 years of age to register a drone, otherwise it must be registered by a parent or legal guardian. You register your drone online at iaa.ie/drones. You must never operate a drone in a negligent or reckless manner so as to endanger the life or property of others and you must have permission from the landowner for take-off and landing. You must never operate it: Farther than 300 metres from you or out of your direct line of sight Over 120 metres above ground level Over urban areas or over a group of 12 or more people Within 120 metres of any person, vessel or structure not under your control Closer than 5 kilometres from an aerodrome If it will be a hazard to another aircraft in flight In civil or military controlled airspace or in restricted areas such as prisons If you want to operate your drone outside these limits, you must apply to the IAA for a specific operating permission and complete a drone safety training course. If your drone weighs 4kg or more, you must complete a drone safety training course before operating it. You should be aware that there may be privacy or trespass issues if you operate a drone over private property. While you do not need insurance to operate a drone it is recommended that you are insured and that you complete a drone safety training course.

Young at Heart with Phil Goodman

It’s increasingly being said that every family has some relative who has dementia. As a country we need to be very active in supporting people living with dementia. No one sector, organisation or country can tackle dementia on its own. More needs to be done to develop new drugs and treatment and also do more in the area of prevention and early diagnosis of dementia and increase home care supports – for families living with dementia to help their loved ones. Huge emotional, psychological and financial burden is often placed on family members caring for a loved one. There are 35,000 people living with dementia in Ireland and the figure is growing. All Young at Heart activities recommence this month; Knitting, Bingo, In-Door Bowls, Kurling, Computer Classes and others. We visited many places of interest on the trips – Glendalough, Hook Penninsula, Killarney, Naval Base and Collins Barracks as well as others. Care-Ring our friendly telephone service is back this week after a short break. It’s a regular call for so many people who may be lonely and isolated and it keeps people in touch with what goes on in our community and the services that are available. Care-Ring is a lifeline for those who avail of the service but is also very rewarding for our volunteers who are all Garda vetted and H.S.E. trained. With the nights closing in and getting darker earlier our thoughts turn to safety in the home. If you know someone living alone who would benefit from a Monitored Personal Alarm which actually saves lives at the press of a button to which your call is answered. These personal alarms will give you a sense of security and peace of mind. You can pick up a form at the office 17 Morris House or give me a call on 021-4363867. Our volunteers will continue to teach basic sewing skills to 3rd class boys and knitting to 2nd class in St Columba’s school – We need to make sure those skills are not lost to the younger generation. We also knit for the Special Baby Unit in C.U.H. We know the little hats and blankets are always needed.

Feiliceann is an organisation that provides support to anyone affected by the death of a baby during or after pregnancy. Each year in Ireland approximately five hundred babies die around the time of birth. This organization was formed by a group of bereaved parents who supported each other after the death of their own babies. They offer support for parents and families who find themselves in a similar situation. They are in touch with maternity hospitals around the country supplying them with memory boxes. There are blankets that parents can choose to either wrap their babies in this blanket nor which they may keep to help serve as a reminder of their babies. It’s a comfort to parents to know that the blanket their baby will be wrapped in has been hand knit so lovingly by someone. Our group have knitted and crocheted the little white blankets for this worthy and rewarding project for many years and will continue to do so. Thank-you to everyone who have given us their favourite recipe for the Cookbook. Keep them coming. If anyone has ‘Handy Hints’ to pass on we will include in the book.

FAI Senior Women’s Cup

Douglas Hall 0 – 3 Cork City WFC Cork City WFC advanced to the next round of the FAI Senior Women’s Cup following victory on Sunday afternoon against Douglas Hall. City enjoyed plenty of possession early on in the game but failed to penetrate the well organised hosts with long distance efforts that failed to trouble Linda McNamara’s goal until the 11th minute. A good move on the City right involving Lauren Homan, Danielle Sheehy and Ciara Desmond saw the visitors win a corner which was only half cleared and when the ball fell to Maggie Duncliffe just outside the box she drove it back through the crowded penalty box and into the back of the net. Despite plenty of possession it took City until the 26th minute to double their lead. Nathalie O’Brien who was playing at left back picked up possession deep inside the Douglas Hall half and cut inside before firing a powerful effort from outside the box into the bottom corner for her first goal for Cork City Women’s. City’s confidence was clearly boosted by the two goals and they went in search of a third which arrived in the 33rd minute, but not before Douglas Hall almost halved the deficit when they hit City on the break and won a free kick. Emma McCarthy’s dead ball effort looked to be heading to the top corner until Ciara McNamara at full stretch managed to tip the ball onto the crossbar. Three minutes later City got their third, similar to the first goal it came from a corner after good work from Ciara Desmond. Lauren Murphy swung the corner into the box and it fell kindly for Lauren Homan whose first time effort curled into the back of the net. The half time introduction of Rebecca Walsh and Sophie Hurley added a lot of energy to the hosts midfield but with deteriorating weather conditions in the second half neither side was able to carve out clear cut chances and City advanced to the next round having kept their first clean sheet of the season. Next up for Cork City Women’s FC is a home tie in the Continental Tyres Women’s National League against UCD Waves which is scheduled to take place in Bishopstown next Sunday at 2pm.

A club of tradition that has stood the test of time, Tramore Athletic is looking to recruit new club members to join its ranks ahead of the new season. Located at the heart of Douglas, Tramore will celebrate 70 years of nurturing some of the city’s finest soccer talent in 2018. As well as the obvious, playing socer, Tramore encourages all its new members to enjoy their sport with a club ethos of ensuring children can learn in a fun environment under a wealth of qualified coaches who work within the club. Tramore is currently looking to recruit members for its youth academy (five-nine years) as well as for its under 11, 13, 14, 17 and 18 teams. A long list of great players have worn the maroon and gold jersey of Tramore Athletic since its beginnings in 1948 including Frankie McCarthy, Noel O’Mahony, Pat O’Mahony (later West Ham United) Kieran O’Regan (Irish international), Charlie McCarthy, Fergus O’Donghue and Graham Cummins (Cork City FC), who are just some of the greats who represented the club. The success at school boys’ level was followed up at senior, junior, youths and AUL level; and as well as winning the FAI Intermediate cup on three occasions, Tramore Athletic can boast a host of honours that is the envy of many other clubs in Cork. With its primary location off the South Douglas Road, close to the Gaelscoil, highly convenient in terms of accessibility, anyone who has children or would be interested in joining themselves can contact Tramore Athletic through Paul on 086-3580214 or Derry on 086-2447832 or visit the website tramoreafc.league.ie
