SURPRISE 70TH BIRTHDAY PARTY FOR LISTOWEL’S TOMMY O’FLAHERTY
Tommy O’Flaherty walked into a cheering crowd at McCarthys bar Finuge on Saturday night, as family and friends gathered to surprise him.
Tommy is a native of Charles Street Listowel, where he was raised with four brothers and five sisters. A keen football player and musician, Tommy went on to play the drums with the famous Showband Roly Daniels and The Green Country before moving to London in 1974.
Tommy then became a publican and had his pubs in Harrow, where he still entertained the crowds with his signing and had his three children, Lisa, Joanne, and Thomas.
Tommy had come to Listowel to stay with his daughter Lisa for the races, but little did he know there had been plans for a big surprise. Family and friends who had travelled from America, London, and all over Ire land had been hiding around Listowel for a day to two before the party. His daughter Lisa had been secretly planning this for months and decided to have the party before his actual birthday in October on the week of the races as it was the perfect time to get him back to Listowel.
On Saturday, Tommy was out with two of his closest friends Maurice Sheehy and Chips, he thought they had to pop into McCarthys to collect something. He had no idea the pub was full of family and friends. The bar was decorated with balloons, banners, food, and cake, all waiting for him. When the door opened, the crowd cheered and clapped. Tommy stood still in the doorway, trying to take it all in. As he walked through the door, he glanced around the room, spotting the faces of people who travelled to see him, including his partner Margaret who Tommy was most shocked to see as he thought she was at a party in London.
Tommy said, “It was the last thing I expected as I walked through that door. It was a fantastic night. Thank you to everyone who came. It was so special to have everyone together”.

CAROLINE’S POD OF POSITIVITY
Welcome to my weekly column and my Pod of Positivity. It is here you will find little tips, tools and information that help us to maintain a life of health, wellness, love, and gratitude while using DóTerra’s essential oils in our daily routine.
As a certified DóTerra essential oil specialist I have been delighted to help and support so many people and their families over the last three years on their essential oil journey throughout North Kerry, West Limerick and beyond. I know how these oils can support the Body, Mind and Mood and this week I bring your attention to using essential oils in your daily routine to give yourself the Self-Care you so deserve.
Self-Care using Essential Oils
Practicing Self Care is important to all of us as it helps us unwind, bring the body and mind back into balance and promote feelings of happiness and positivity. Incorporating essential oils into our daily routine can help a person’s mental, physical and emotional health in many different ways.
DóTerras essential oils can be added to your bath in the evening or to the bottom of a shower tray. The oils can be added to your skincare routine such as face or body moisturisers and to your pillow for relaxation before sleeping or to your shirt / blouse collar during the day to keep feelings of anxieties at bay. Diffusing the oils in a cold water diffuser has become in creasing popular, adding the oils to a foot spa or basin in the evening to soak the feet is very relaxing or inhaling while meditating or journaling can be very soothing and calming.
My Top Lavender:Favourites
One of the most popular essential oils with a floral and woody grounding scent. Lavender is used to help calm anxiety, overwhelm, and helps with relaxation. This is the best oil to use in the evening. Especially around bedtime because it helps your body relax, unwind, and promotes great sleep
Ylang Ylang: Slightly sweet, floral, and an earthy uplifting scent, this essen tial oil can help boost your mood, reduce depression, and help with anxiety. It is a great oil to help filter out negative energy.
Rosemary: With a refreshing herbal smell, rosemary essential oil helps with mental fatigue, exhaustion, and the feeling of burnout. It helps to clear your mind and refocus yourself.
Bergamot: This essential oil smells very citrusy which can be very sweet but tart. Bergamot can help with reducing inflammation and pain, improve your self-esteem/confidence, and help to uplift your mood to become more positive.
My Three – Way – Method in using dóTerra’s Essential Oils: Topically – ap plying them on to our skin particularly our pulse points and soles of the feet. Aromatically – by placing two to three drops into a cold-water diffuser and diffusing these oils in our homes, classrooms, offices, salons or places of work / business and thirdly using the oils, Internally – by adding them to our favourite food, waters, or drinks, or simply by taking one drop daily under the
Thetongue.oilsare
a natural solution to care for our needs and our family’s health needs and they can support us with many of the following that we can expe rience from time to time, such as: Anxiety Issues, Digestive Support, Sleep Assist, Muscle Care, Stress Buster, Depression, Grief, Energy Boost, Skin Support, Immunity, Allergy Assist and so much more.
For extra positivity and well-being, check out my Facebook page – Caro line’s Pod of Positivity where we have information and videos on all of Dó Terra’s essential oils. For consultations and appointments you can reach me on the number below to arrange a time / date that suits you and together we will start you on your journey with DóTerra’s essential oils.
Thought for the week: Self Care is how you take your power back Caroline X

KDYS YOUTH CLUBS CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS
KDYS Youth Clubs provide safe spaces in local communities for young people to meet new friends and engage in various activities that supports their own wellbeing and development, equipping them to become active citizens in their own lives and in their communities. KDYS encourages full youth participation, where young people have a voice in decisions about their clubs’ programme of activities including what they do on club nights and trips working alongside volunteers. Youth Clubs are fully reliant on volunteers to manage and maintain as young people are not the only beneficiaries of a youth club.
Being a Youth Club volunteer is very rewarding for the volunteer as you have opportunities to make new connections in your community, learn to interact and connect with young people, grow in confidence due to taking on administration responsibility and gain a huge sense of pride for creating something that positively impacts on the lives of young people in the community. As part of the KDYS community, our volunteers also have access to quality training, which provides transferable skills in the areas of leadership, group work, safeguarding, facilitation, and mentor ing. All KDYS volunteers are screened, and Garda vetted and complete a mandatory induction training programme. KDYS youth clubs are supported by our dedicated youth club support worker, Marie Danaher.
KDYS are currently seeking volunteer leaders across the county to support the youth club de livery in their community. If you are interested in getting involved and making a difference in the lives of young people and would like to volunteer with an organisation committed to making a real difference in the lives of Young People in Kerry, please contact Marie Danaher @ 085 152 8437 or youthclubs@kdys.ie

SAN RITA WELLNESS
Welcome to San Rita Wellness weekly column…We hope you are safe and well
Compared to this time last year we now have more control and choice of what we want to do or where we want to go. This has a positive impact on our overall health and well being. But at the same time there are many things that we may need to continue keeping control over to achieve a healthy lifestyle.
So let us take a look at a few of those:
FOOD
Now that routine has come back again with all of the schools reopened, establish your own meal time routine again.
Plan your meals in advance and batch cook as this can leave you feeling more organised especially if you are working from home
Try out some new recipes as variety is the spice of life.... Safefood.ie, and Bord Bia have some nice recipe and meal ideas
Just be mindful of the extra foods and treats you may have in your home as you may be inclined to buy that bit extra to treat yourself .
TREATS
Don’t let the treats become a threat. There are other ways to make yourself feel better such as buying yourself a book or a magazine, treat yourself to a lovely body lotion or a nice bottle of your favourite perfume. Have a pamper night where you can have a relaxing bath, paint the nails or apply a rejuvenating face mask.
ALCOHOL
Limit your alcohol to the weekend’s. That way it can be something you can look forward to. There are also low calorie options available in the alcohol also, such as light beers, low alcohol wine and add your diet and slimline minerals as mixers for spirits.
WEEKENDS
Plan your weekends and stick to your plan. It’s important not to let your guard down too much then just because it’s the weekend. Remember after all there are 52 weekends in the year
ACTIVITY
The best way to overcome cabin fever is to get out in the fresh air, whether it is to your local park or beach. Being active will benefit you as it is good for the head and will give you a positive attitude so you will feel better. When you Feel better you Think better and then you Eat better.
ATTITUDE
What is your attitude at the moment ? Eat all around you and go out of control OR eat mind fully and stay in control. How we think determines how we feel, how we feel determines what we do next.
So think positive, feel positive, be positive.
So all of these things we can be “IN CONTROL” of so at the end of the day not only are we all responsible for ourselves but also to ourselves.
For extra support and for weekly accountability check us out on Facebook San
BOOK OF THE WEEK Woulfes Bookshop Street, Listowel T: 068
ACTIVE OBLIVION
By Tadhg Flahive
‘From what is it they flee?’
He took a while to reply. By the time he spoke the men had gone inside. He said quietly, ‘They killed the King.’
1660. Colonel Edward Whalley and his son-inlaw, Colonel William Goffe, cross the Atlantic. They are on the run and wanted for the murder of Charles I. Under the provisions of the Act of Oblivion, they have been found guilty in absentia of high treason.
In London, Richard Nayler, secretary of the regicide committee of the Privy Council, is tasked with tracking down the fugitives. He’ll stop at nothing until the two men are brought to justice. A reward hangs over their heads - for their capture, dead or alive.
Act of Oblivion is an epic journey across continents, and a chase like no other. It is the thrilling new novel by Robert Harris.

DEATHS
Requiem Mass for Anna Litchfield (née) Egan, formerly of Chapel Street, Tarbert and her late husband Edward took place on Saturday 17 September. Anna who was aged 84 died in Dover on 5 July 2019 and was predeceased by her husband Edward who died on 1 February 2019 aged 83. The Requiem Mass was celebrated by Fr John O’Connor assisted by Fr Philip O’Connell in St Mary’s Church, Tarbert. In the course of his eulogy, Fr John spoke of the love Anna and Edward had for each other which spanned 60 years of marriage. After the Mass burial of ashes took place for Anna and Edward in the adjoining St Mary’s Cemetery. Anna’s love for her home place was reflected in the inscription on her ‘ReturnedheadstonetoKerry’,
signifying a promise made and a promise kept by her. Helen Anne, better known as Anna, was one of four children, three boys and a girl, born to Ned and Maggie Egan (née Kelly) in Chapel Street, Tarbert. In the 1950’s like many of her friends she emigrated to the UK to pursue a nursing career which she did for all of her working life. An attrac tive looking girl she caught the attention of Edward Litchfield, a scientist, and they were married in Dover. They settled there and reared a family of two children. Anna returned to Tarbert and while her parents were alive and to celebrate family occasions. She was predeceased by her brothers William who died in 1984 and Jackie who died in 2012. Sympathy of the community is extended to her son and daughter, to her brother Paddy who is now living in Cork and to the extended Egan family, neighbours and friends.
Sympathy of the community is also extended to Emer O’Sullivan, Tarmons East on the death of her father John Gormley, Kilderry, Muff, County Donegal who died on Sunday 11 September in his 96th. year. Requiem Mass took place in the Sacred Heart Church, Muff followed by burial in the adjoining Beannachtgraveyard.

U15 Division 1 Shield Final Report
Duagh was the venue for this Division 1 Shield Final and both teams played out an exciting game that was in the balance right to the end. Tadgh O’Connell opened the scoring with a point for Tarbert in the 3rd minute. St Senans re plied with a pointed free from midfielder Ruairi O’Connell. A Tarbert point by Shane Stack put Tarbert back in front. That was quickly followed by a goal from midfielder Michael Coolahan. St.Senans had an excellent point by Tiernan Dennehy. Two minutes later Tarbert got their second goal of the half from cap tain and centre forward Lee Mulvihill. St Senans at the other end were unlucky after some great individual play from Tiernan Dennehy saw his shot for goal go wide of the left-hand post. Ruairi O’Connell added a point for St.Senans with a free. Tadgh O’Connell replied for Tarbert but it was St Senans who concluded the half with 2 further points from frees by Ruairi O’Connell.
Half-time score Tarbert 2 03 St.Senans 0. 06.
The second half set the pulse racing from the very start when from the throw in Lee Mulvihill had the ball in the net for Tarbert. St.Senans attacked immediately and when excellent corner forward Ryan Hurley was fouled in the Square referee Ger D OCarroll blew for a penalty. Up stepped influential midfielder Ruairi O’Connell but unfortunately his shot went wide of the post Tadgh O’Connell had a free for Tarbert .Then on the 6th minute of the second half came St Senans second penalty when again Ryan Hurley was fouled. This time Evan O’Sullivan stepped up and made no mistake. Ruairi O’Connell added another point for St.Senans putting them right back in the game. Two quick points from Mikey Carmody and a Tadgh O’Connell free looked to have stead ied the ship for Tarbert but St Senans had other idea’s. A purple patch for them saw them score 3 goals and a point to put them in total control. The first of these goals came from Tiernan Dennehy set up by Ryan Hurley. Tadgh Doran added a point followed by 2 other goals from Ryan Hurley. St Senans now led by 4 points and with 10 minutes remaining looked on course for victory. Lee Mulvihill reduced the lead to 3 with a point and then came the equalizing goal for Tarbert by Tadgh O’Connell. Both teams tried to wrestle the initiative and it was substitute Dylan Buckley who rifled a shot to the net for Tarbert to put them back in control. Lee Mulvihill added another point for Tarbert to put them in a 4 point lead. St.Senans attacked relentlessly as injury time ap proached. They had points by Dylan OCallaghan and Ruairi O’Connell but time ran out for them leaving Tarbert winner’s by 2 points on a scoreline of Tarbert 5.08 St.Senans 4. 09. Ger D OCarroll Asdee was referee and it was great to see him having linemen and umpires. Thanks to Ger D and also Duagh for the pitch. North Kerry Coiste na Nog Chairman Sean McCarthy Castleisland Des monds presented the shield to Tarberts winning captain Lee Mulvihill
Well done to both teams who gave a great hours entertainment. In truth any team could have won as both at times looked to be in strong positions to win and in was Tarbert that prevailed.
SAM MAGUIRE
On Saturday evening last at the capital of North Kerry the North Kerry Football Board headed by Chairperson; Mairead O Sullivan organised this special cele bration to honour the homecoming of “Sam” which was greeted in the Square, Listowel by a huge and enthusiastic supporters from all parts of North Kerry and beyond and when Kerry All Ireland medal holder Jason Foley entered the stage holding the famous trophy aloft the place erupted and a sense of relief was had by all and that eight year wait was quickly put to bed.

Also on stage we had the re cently crowned Kerry Rose, Edaein O Connell and popular Traditional singer; Karen Trench who both entertained the crowd with songs; “The Land of the Gael ” and “The Kingdoms Green and Gold” respectively.

KERRY PITCH & PUTT
Of the 15 Kerry players who started out at the Munster Matchplay Finals in both Bishopstown and St Annes in Cork last Saturday only one player would make it through to Sunday’s semi-final stage in Listowel’s Ger Guerin in the Intermediate Mens grade.
On Saturday in St Annes Ger defeated Tipperary’s Ken Hayes in Round 1 3&2, Limerick’s Mike O’Donnell 6&5 in the Last 16 while he was a 5&4 winner over another Tipperary player in Bobby O’Donnell in the quarter-finals to make it through to Sunday’s semi-finals which switched to the Bishopstown course. He was facing Darren O’Leary from St Annes who had defeated Deerpark’s Erin Moloney in the quarter-finals the previous day by 5&4.
Ger was within one hole after the first 18 and two down with nine to play but O’Leary grew stronger in the closing stages to go on and record a 5&3 win before going on to win the title outright afterwards. Both Ger and Erin were two of only four Kerry players to make it through to the quarter-finals as both Deerpark’s Damien Fleming and Tralee’s Michael Conway were defeated at that stage in the senior grade.
Damien had won an all Kerry Last 16 encounter with Tralee’s Alan Hobbart 2&1 before he was defeated at the last hole by eventual tournament runner-up De clan Freeman of Fermoy. Michael had claimed a narrow win over Douglas’ Eoin Keating in the Last 16 but he lost out to Keating’s club-mate Rob O’Donoghue in the quarter-finals by 4&2.
The two ‘Tralee v Listowel’ encounters in the Mens Senior Round 1 ended in a 1-1 draw between the clubs in terms of match winners. Jamie Blake defeated Jake Shine 1up while it went to the third playoff hole between Ryan Allman and Tony Blake before Allman won at the 39th hole. Both Jamie and Ryan bowed out in the Last 16 however.
All three of Kerry’s Junior players failed to make it past the first round. Listow el’s Dylan Sweeney conceded a walkover to Hillview’s Sean O’Connor, Michael Creagh was defeated by eventual runner-up Dean Lonergan from Cork while Listowel’s Tom Kelly was defeated by Bishopstown’s Steve Austin.
This Sunday (September 25th) sees Deerpark host their Scratch Cup events as the club are reverting back to 54 holes for the three Mens grades for the first time since 2017. Anyone still looking to enter is asked to contact Sean Kelly from the club in regards to their timesheet for the day.

MEANING OF LIFE
“Imagine if you live for 70 years you will have spent about. 20 years asleep, 10 watching TV, 7 years eating and drinking and 5 years in transportation. And you’d still have 28 years left over!!”
Interesting statistics!!
It set me thinking. My father often spoke of a very elderly neighbour who was once asked how she would describe her life and how quick ly it had passed. She apparently said “it was like standing under a bush from a shower of rain.” So fast!
The Word of God is very sobering and real in how it describes the brevity of life . I read in the book of James 4:13-14” .....You do not know what tomorrow brings. For your life is like the morning fog- it’s here for a little while,then it’s gone.”
We look for all kinds of things to stuff time with, to speed it’s passing, to slow it down, or to kill it
Butaltogether.sinceIbecame
a bible believing Christian it becomes ever clearer to me that this life is the waiting room for the next life. Sadly, I also recognise that l have wasted so much of this preparation time on foolishness. The Word of God has a lot to say about how we use time. In Psalm 90:12 we ask the Lord to “Teach us to number our days that we may gain a heart of wisdom. “
Ephesians 5:14 urgently calls us to “Awake you who sleep. Arise from the dead, and Christ will give you light.” And again, in verse 15 we are told to “ ...be careful how you live, not as fools but as those who are wise. Make the most of every opportunity for doing good in these evil days.”
The Gospel of Matthew 6:33 directs me to “.... seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these other things (food, drink and clothing )will be given to you as well.”
The Word of God tells everyone who chooses to follow Jesus how we can use our time on earth to build up treasures in Heaven. The Gospel of Matthew 6:19 puts it like this “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in Heaven where neither moths nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is there your heart will be also.”
God is the most incredible, astonishingly loving Father Who wants everyone to know His love. “Seek Him while He may be found. Call upon Him while He is near.“ Isaiah 55:6
