THREE of Waterford’s best festivals are being rolled into one under the umbrella of the Imagine Arts Festival. As well as the arts festival itself, the programme will incorporate the Waterford Writers Weekend and the John Dwyer Trad Weekend. In all, some 80 events will take place across the city from October 18 to 27. There will be music gigs, theatre, dance, spoken word, art exhibitions, a litany of literary events and, with

Halloween in mind, magical fun and spooky happenings. More than half the events are free. Speaking at the launch, deputy mayor, Cllr Seamus Ryan, said said how proud he was of the calibre of Waterford acts participating and how they stand up against the national and international acts in the programme. He paid tribute to the amazing John Dywer, who is in his eighties and will be

He said:“I thought Sinn FĂŠin might support us as they have always voted for 15 per cent full reduction while in opposition and wouldn’t support last year’s budget due to a 2.5 per cent increase in the LPT.â€? Sinn FĂŠin group leader, Cllr Conor McGuinness, defended his party’s stance. “We voted for a freeze on the LPT to give working families and homeowners stability and certainty in 2020,â€? he said. “The LPT is a tax on people’s homes and Sinn FĂŠin believe it should be abolished in favour of a fairer and more progressive system of funding local government. “Funding for local authorities has been decimated by successive governments and this needs to be addressed as a matter of urgency. “Hitting hard-pressed families with another increased bill isn’t the solution.â€?

It is important that the Government act as one and in unison and deliver the funding necessary.â€? Mr Cullinane said local oireachtas members would be meeting with the Department to make this point. “It is vital that this project is not allowed to slip,â€? he said. “This will require leadership and decisive action.â€? Bord PleanĂĄla has cleared the way for the development by approving plans for a bridge connecting Waterford city’s south quay to a strategic development zone on the north quays.

Helping to turn the tide of litter SOME 300 volunteers removed almost two tonnes of litter from Waterford’s strands in the Big Beach Clean 2019. Beaches at Ardmore, Tramore, Dungarvan and Saleens strand were among those to come clean. More than 300 clean-ups took place around Ireland, engaging approximately 8,000 volunteers who removed at least 45 tonnes of marine of litter across the country. During the Big Beach Clean

volunteers were asked to take part in a litter survey to quantify the amount and types of litter on Irish beaches. The volunteers were joined by Cully & Sully, the soup people, who supported the programme with sponsorship of a competition and provided volunteers with additional beach clean-up kits. The Beach Clean was organised in conunction with the Clean Coasts movement. There are currently over

800 registered Clean Coasts groups in Ireland and last year more than 22,000 volunteers engaged with the programme. There are a variety of group types such as community groups, residents’ associations, tidy towns groups, sports clubs, schools, businesses and universities .

Prices static as demand for houses starts to cool THE price of the average three-bed semi in Waterford city rose by 4.9% this year while prices in the county rose by 0.8% according to a national survey carried out by Real Estate Alliance. Over the past three months prices remained static throughout the county and city areas, the REA Average House Price Survey found. The survey concentrates on the actual sale price of Ireland’s typical stock home, the three-bed semi, giving an up-to-date picture of the second-hand property market in towns and cities countrywide to the close of last week. “There is still a shortage of stock in Waterford, but demand has also cooled,â€? said Des O’Shea of REA O’Shea O’Toole in Waterford city. The average three-bed semidetached house in Waterford city is currently priced at â‚Ź215,000, and time on the market remains unchanged at eight weeks.

A Brexit Budget

While the full details of the budget have not been revealed it is quite clear that what it ZLOO FRQWDLQ KDV EHHQ KHDYLO\ LQĂ€XHQFHG by the fact that Britain, in whatever fashion, will leave the EU on the 31st of October. Up to now budgets by this Government have, by and large, moved out of the territory of austerity budgets and have luckily had to deal with surpluses which the Minister for Finance could deal with in terms of tax cuts and funds for new social initiatives. Even a year ago it was estimated that this particular budget would have in the region of a 600 million euro surplus and WKDW EHLQJ WKH ÂżQDO EXGJHW WKDW WKLV *RYHUQPHQW ZRXOG EH delivering, it would, to all intents and purposes, be a sweetheart budget, there to win over the electorate. However given how fast (and how bizarrely) Brexit has warped and mutated in even the last number of weeks, let alone the last 12 months, the Government have had to adapt to a rapidly changing situation where it now has to husband a surplus of over half a billion euro in terms of managing the impact that Brexit will have on the Irish economy. The kicker in all of this is that no one really knows what Brexit will bring in it’s wake, and that is if Britain does pull out of the EU on the 31st of October.

Ferrybank park is a step nearer FERRYBANK’S longawaited Neighbourhood Park has moved a step closer with the turning of the sod for the development which includes a children’s playground, walking route, teenage meeting point and a muchneeded playing pitch. Speaking at the ceremony, junior minister and Ferrybank TD John Paul Phelan, said the park will be a fantastic facility for the entire community. “The people of Ferrybank will revel in this Neighbourhood Park,� he said. “They engaged very closely with the local authority on its design and is very much a park designed by the people for the people.� The contract for the construction of Ferrybank Neighbourhood Park has been awarded to Tom Beckett Landscaping Limited, with the associated on-site playground to be provided by specialist playground equipment supplier, Kompan Limited.

Too many teams and divisions - and they’re all left-wingers

T

KH ¿UVW LWHP RQ an Irish political agenda is The Split, said Brendan Behan, and the Left has always done its best to prove him correct. Of late it has excelled itself and Paul Murphy’s establishment of a new party (group is the word the TD prefers) leaves Irish socialism more divided than at any time I can recall. And that’s saying something, for I have lived through many a schism. Republican Labour, Connolly Labour, Militant Labour, Marxist-Leninists, Leninist-Marxists, Lennon and McCartney. They all make grand entrances and usually GHOLYHU D ¿QH VROLORTX\ 7KHQ they exit - stage left, of course. How many divisions has the Pope, asked Stalin, a man for whom some socialists still have a fondness. Dunno. But not half as many as the Irish Left. Mr Murphy’s new party (sorry, group) is called RISE and is a break-away from the Socialist Party which has contested recent elections

Michael Wolsey under the banner of Solidarity, which used to be called the Anti-Austerity Alliance. Mr Murphy says his new RISE group will still have fraternal links to the old Solidarity group which is linked to People %HIRUH 3URÂżW Joan Collins, a TD for Dublin South Central, used to be in 3HRSOH %HIRUH 3URÂżW EXW VKH is now with Independents 4 Change which used to called Independents for Equality. So is Clare Daly, who, like Mr Murphy, used to be in the Socialist Party. So is Mick Wallace, who used to be a capitalist building contractor. Ms Daly used to be a TD and is now an MEP. She was a founder member of the United

Left Alliance. Mr Wallace used to be a TD and is now an MEP, unlike Mr Murphy who used to be an MEP and is now a TD. Richard Boyd Barrett, who used to be a member of the Socialist Workers Party, hasn’t OHIW 3HRSOH %HIRUH 3UR¿W \HW and neither have deputies Gino Kelly and Bríd Smith. Neither has Ruth Coppinger, who used to be in the Socialist Party. True believers don’t extend fraternity any further Right than the jumble of parties I have mentioned. But a few heretics might be prepared to include the Greens and the Social Democrats. The Social Democrats are D VSLQ R྾ IURP WKH /DERXU Party, which incorporates Democratic Left, which used to be the Workers Party, which was previously Sinn FÊin the Workers’ Party, who used to be 2ྜFLDO 6LQQ )pLQ ZKR ZHUH also known as The Stickies and were once the political wing of the IRA. Some other independents, such as John Halligan, can lay claim to left-wing credentials and there are others who will sing the Red Flag if it suits

them. Bertie Ahern once claimed he was one of the few true socialists in Irish politics and that, under his leadership, Fianna FĂĄil had provided “the most left-wing government this country has ever seenâ€?. He may have been correct, since there was never much competition for that title. True believers would sooner join the Irish Management Institute than go into government. At the launch of RISE, Mr Murphy said he did not agree with left-wing parties going into coalition with “right-wing partiesâ€? such as Fine Gael, adding, for good measure: “We don’t think Sinn FĂŠin or the Greens represent the change we need.â€? He didn’t mention Fianna FĂĄil but I don’t think MicheĂĄl Martin need expect a call from him any time soon. “People on the Left, unlike people on the Right, take politics pretty seriously,â€? said Mr Murphy. Maybe they do. But unless they can get their shambles of an act together they needn’t expect the voters to take them seriously at all.

No evidence carbon tax works, claims TD WATERFORD’S Sinn Féin TD has come out against an increase in carbon tax. David Cullinane, the party’s Climate Action spokesperson, said there was “not one shred of evidence” that carbon tax reduces carbon emissions. He said that the political parties that introduced this tax in 2010, and increased it in 2011, have “ploughed ahead proposing a trajectory increase to 2030, with complete disregard for its impact on

energy-poor households”. He said the tax was “nothing more than a revenue raising exercise, and any further increase will widen poverty and inequality between lowerincome and higher-income households”. “Sinn Féin is steadfast in its position that a tax on carbon is nothing more than a shameful smoke-and-mirrors tactic to rationalise an unjust tax and appease the over-consumption of wealthy polluters,” said Mr

Cullinane. “We will continue to oppose this regressive revenue raising hustle in every way, shape and form.” Speaking after a meeting of the Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action, Mr Cullinane said: “The issue of Carbon Tax has been put on this committee’s agenda for over a year now, yet not one shred of evidence has been presented from any source to corroborate the theory that carbon tax reduces carbon emissions.”

Good mood, bad mood

W

hen you are in a good mood, all is well, everything is working, and life feels good. You can see the bigger picture, and are full of common sense, wisdom and fun. Problems are easier to solve, nothing seems to faze you, and work doesn’t feel too KDUG 5HODWLRQVKLSV Ă€RZ and communication is easy. If someone criticises you, you take it in your stride and rise above it, without taking anything personally. Best of all, those around us respond SRVLWLYHO\ DŕľśUPDWLYHO\ DQG constructively: “Wow! - you’re in a good mood today!â€? On the other hand, when you are in a bad mood, life can be XQEHDUDEOH VHULRXV DQG GLŕľścult. You have very little perspective, you take everything personally, and often misinterpret those around you as instigators of negative actions which in reality are no such thing.

BREDA GARDNER Natural Healing

You may be in a good mood in the morning, but by the late afternoon, if someone upsets you or lets you down, you may hate your job, your life and yourself. In low moods we tend to lose our sense of balance and perspective: everything and everyone seems to be demanding, wearisome, urgent or a burden. We completely forget that when we are in a good mood, everything in the world seems so much better.

When we are low, rather than blaming our mood, as would be the right thing to do, we instead tend to feel as if our life is wrong, and like everything is someone else’s fault. The truth is, life is almost never as awful as it seems when you are in a bad mood. Rather than staying stuck in a low mood and bad temper, you can learn to question your own judgement. Remind yourself: “Of course I am defensive and angry, or stressed or depressed. I’m in a bad mood right now. But I know that in time it will pass.� When you’re in a bad mood, it’s not the time to analyse your life or to seek answers to convoluted, ongoing problems. To do so is only going to go one way: the wrong way. Remember, much of the time, issues simply disappear when you are in a good mood. And even if you have a genuine problem, it will still be there when your state of mind improves. It’s far better to address things when you have a cool head, are thinking clearly, and are feeling positive.

Indeed, when you stop feeling bad, and stop over-analysing, often the answers will come to you easily. How many times do we go to bed with an insurmountable problem, only to wake up the next morning with the perfect solution?! The trick is to be grateful for our good moods and graceful and gracious in our bad moods, not taking the latter too seriously. The next time you feel low, remind yourself: “This feeling will pass, like it always does.â€? And as you drop Rŕľľ WR VOHHS DVN WKDW \RX ZDNH up feeling balanced, refreshed and energised, with a positive mind full of solutions.

Q

What vital role do hippos play in maintaining the health of their habitat? A. Every evening, hungry hippos eat around 40 kilograms (88 pounds) of grass and other plants rich in silicon dioxide, or silica; then the next day, “they laze in the water, where they digest and excrete it,� reports Ruby Prosser Scully in “New Scientist� magazine. When Jonas Schoelynck of the University of Antwerp and his team studied 80 hippos in a stretch of the Mara river in southwest Kenya, they found that the animals transported 400 kilograms of silica a day, or 76% of the total moved throughout the ecosystem (“Science By Bill Sones and Advances�). Rich Sones, Single-celled algae in the river depend PhD on that silica and they in turn provide food for other plants and animals. As Schoelynck says, “Hippos act as a kind of conveyor belt, transporting silica from land to water.�

It was “one small ego trip for man, one giant frame of reference for mankind,â€? says Dan Lewis on his “Now I Knowâ€? website. What was he referring to? A.

As Google Maps’ satellite view reveals, the name “LUECKEâ€? is also clearly visible from the International Space Station.

Hospice scandal: â‚Ź4m raised for an empty building From front page and the additional commitment made to donate â‚Ź6 million to the cost of the new hospice unit, â‚Ź4.4 million of which has already been transferred to the HSE.â€? The Hospice Movement is calling on members of the public to “voice their dissatisfactionâ€? with the current situation “and make their elected representatives aware that the people of the South East are tired of being ignored and neglected in relation to healthcare provision in general and now, sadly, end of life careâ€?. The HSE, in a statement, said it was seeking funding. “The HSE has agreed to open the South East Specialist Palliative Care Inpatient Unit/ Hospice located in Waterford before the end of this year,â€? it said. “Funding to fully commission the 20 beds in the unit, along with a new daycare service,

is being sought through the estimates process.â€? The issue has been raised locally with politicians in recent weeks but was not made public until Waterford Hospice Movement’s board met last week. The chairperson of Waterford Hospice Movement, Danette Connolly, later met with TDs John Halligan, Mary Butler and David Cullinane and Senator 3DXGLH &RŕľľH\ DQG XUJHG WKHP to increase pressure for funding. 6HQDWRU &RŕľľH\ VDLG KH DQG WKH other local Oireachtas members would be taking up an invitation from Mr Harris, to meet to discuss the matter over the next week. He told Waterford Today that he shares the frustration of hospital campaigners, fundraisers and fellow Oireachtas members over the issue. “It is essential that the doors of the new palliative care unit are open as soon as possible now that it is fully built and equipped,â€? he said.“

Tramore Wellness TRAMORE Wellness Centre is the brainchild of local businessman James O’Sullivan who saw that there was a strong need for a professional, dynamic, wellness centre in Tramore.

Bangers & Crash! HITTING Waterford with a BANG!, the Bangers & Crash Percussion Group will treat us to a fascinating array of sounds and rhythms at the Large Room, City Hall, Waterford on Thursday 3 October at 7:30pm. Having a physics background can be a useful thing indeed if you are ace percussionist Alex Petcu. So the required sounds don’t exist on conventional instruments? No problem, you just invent and build what you need. This exciting group led by Alex Petcu, Emma King and Brian Dungan, will perform works by Phillip Glass, Steve Reich, Gene Koshinki and, among others, a newly commissioned work by Alex Petcu. The concert is presented in association with Music Network. This Irish collective of three young and energetic virtuosos cook up a menu of new music which will tickle taste buds and defy expectations. Tickets €17 / €15 (conc.) / €5 (students) on the door. https:// www.eventbrite.ie/o/waterfordmusic-26802735947.

To Bee or not to Bee?

THE INSTITUTE

Bombus lucorum male feeding‌.our wild bees really need our help THAT is the question. Or more precisely to bee keep or not to bee keep? Following on from last weeks column I’ll highlight another issue around bees that might surprise you but very much needs to be highlighted. In recent years the bee has become the poster species of campaigns to highlight the breakdown in our ecosystems and in particular the global decline in pollinators and the services they provide. These campaigns have caught the public attention and individuals, community groups, Tidy Towns, schools etc. are all trying to do what they can for our bees and other pollinators. Nothing wrong there you say, that all sounds positive. But and there is a but, in the public mind when they see the word bee or bees they generally think of the honeybee or to be precise in this part of the world, the Western Honeybee (Apis mellifera). As a result, there has been a huge increase in beekeeping and hive ownership, particularly in urban and suburban areas. This is leading to a significant increase in honeybee numbers.

Honeybee competing for food with our wild bees I can see you are still wondering where the problem is. So far this all sounds good to you. Well let’s backtrack a bit. There are over 20,000 species of bee in the world. Here in Ireland we have 99 species of bee. 77 belong to what are collectively known as solitary bees, 21 are bumblebees and then we have 1 species of honeybee. Most of our bee species are suffering declines and one third of them are threatened with extinction. The honeybee is not one of those. Beekeeping and the increase in honeybee numbers is harming our wild species through competition for limited food sources and spreading of disease. Our wild bees provide far more pollinator and ecosystem services than honeybees and our actions should be aimed at helping them and not, what is effectively, a farmed animal.

by Stephen King

ENDEAVOUR Virgin Media 3, Friday October 4 @ 8pm

Deep in the woods of Maine, there is a dark state facility where kids, abducted from across the United States, are incarcerated. In the Institute they are subjected to a series of tests and procedures meant to combine their exceptional gifts - telepathy, telekinesis - for concentrated effect. Luke Ellis is the latest recruit. He’s just a regular 12-year-old, except he’s not just smart, he’s super-smart. And he has another gift which the Institute wants to use... Thrilling, suspenseful, heartbreaking, THE INSTITUTE is a stunning novel of childhood betrayed and hope regained.

Prequel to the long-running Inspector Morse set primarily in Oxford. Shaun Evans portrays the young Endeavour Morse beginning his career as a detective constable. Morse suspects a connection between a woman’s disappearance and the unsolved murder of a teenager several years previously. However, the discovery of a body and unusual elements to the crime scene suggest another possibility. Thursday investigates a lorry hijack, and Fancy takes on an informant who is subsequently murdered. Catch up on player.

Across the sky flashed scenes from his life. For each scene he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand; One belonged to him and the other to the Lord. When the last scene of his life flashed before him, He looked back at the footprints in the sand. He noticed that many times along the path of his life there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in his life. This really bothered him and he questioned the Lord about it. Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you, you’d walk with me all the way. But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life, there is only one set of footprints I don’t understand why when I needed you most you would leave me. The Lord replied my precious precious child, I love you and would never leave you.

O HOLY ST ANTHONY Gentlest of saints, your love for God and charity for your neighbour, made you worthy while on earth to possess miraculous powers. Miracles waited on your word, which you were ever ready to speak for those in trouble or anxiety. Encouraged by this thought I implore of you to obtain for me my request....(Pause) The answer to my prayer may require a miracle, even so you are the saint of miracles. O gentle and loving St Anthony, whose heart was ever full of human sympathy, intercede for me and whisper my prayer into the ear of the sweet Infant Jesus who loved to linger in your arms and the gratitude of my heart will be yours.
