Dingle Historical Society presents two lectures

A Hundred Years of the ‘Wild Atlantic Way’ in the National Geographic magazine An illustrated lecture by Patrick Duffy, Emeritus Professor of Geography in Maynooth University Dingle Benners Hotel, Main Street, Dingle. Thursday, 25th August 8.00pm All welcome - Fáilte roimh cách - Visitors welcome The lecture will look at National Geographic photographs of Ireland through the past century. The west and south-west of Ireland and the Aran Islands especially were depicted as exotic, uncrowded, and timeless landscapes of sublime scenery, ancient monuments and charming people. By the 1960s, there were contradictions between these images of Ireland and the developing official state projection of a modern progressive society. Even during the brash economic boom into the 21st century, the National Geographic frequently reached back to its earlier lyrical imagery of a laid-back, misty isle, in many ways foreshadowing the recent emergence of the Wild Atlantic Way as a tourism concept. Patrick Duffy is Emeritus Professor of Geography in Maynooth University where he taught historical geography and landscape studies. He is author of Exploring The History and Heritage of Irish Landscapes, (Four Courts Press, 2007) and numerous book chapters such as: ‘Through American Eyes: a hundred years of Ireland in the National Geographic Magazine', in Spacing Ireland; ‘Wiring the Countryside: Rural Electrification in Ireland', in Engineering Earth; ‘Ordnance Survey Maps and Official Reports' in Oxford History of the Irish Book, Vol 4 (1800-90), Oxford University Press 2011.

Dingle in the 18th Century Munster Economy A lecture by Professor David Dickson, Professor of Modern History, TCD

Seascapes Seascapes

Dingle Benners Hotel, Main Street, Dingle. Thursday, 1st Sept, 8.00pm All welcome - Fáilte roimh cách - Visitors welcome The century of the penal laws was a time of profound economic change across Munster, with population growth and the expansion of overseas trade redefining social relationships in town and countryside. How did the people of Dingle fare in this era: were they sheltered from it all by their distance from the great centres of commerce and sustained by a black economy of smuggling, or did they actively participate in the new economy and cross new horizons? David Dickson is a longstanding member of the Dept. of History in Trinity College Dublin, and is currently Professor of Modern History. He has published widely on Irish economic and social history, and his two most recent monographs were Old world colony: Cork and south Munster 1630-1830 (2005), and Dublin: The making of a capital city (2014).

Dingle Film Club Open to Everyone 8.45pm Tuesday Nights

On Tuesday 23rd August the feature at the Dingle film club in the Phoenix Cinema will be the American drama “Demolition”. The film stars Jake Gyllenhaal as Davis Mitchell , a successful investment banker who struggles after losing his wife in a tragic car crash. Despite pressure from his father in law to pull it together, Davis continues to unravel. What starts as a complaint letter to a vending machine company turns into a series of letters revealing startling personal admissions. Davis’ letters catch the attention of customer service rep, Karen Mareno (Naomi Watts) and amidst emotional and financial burdens of her own, the two form an unlikely connection. The following week on Tuesday 30th August the feature will be the French crime drama “ Dheepan”. Winner of the Palme d’Or at the 2015 Cannes Film Festival, the new film from acclaimed director Jacques Audiard (A Prophet) is a gripping, human tale of survival. On the losing side of a civil war in Sri Lanka, a Tamil soldier poses as the husband and father of two other refugees in order to escape their ravaged homeland. Arriving in France, the makeshift “family” sets about establishing a new life-only to find themselves once again embroiled in violence on the mean streets of Paris. 4 West Kerry Live

Cod with Tomato and Caper Salsa

½ lemon, zested sea salt and black pepper rapeseed oil

Mark Murphy - Dingle Cookery School

Method

Cod is one of those fish that we all seem to like. Maybe it is because of its beautiful white flesh or maybe it is just the mild sweet flavour that we love. Cod itself is a lazy enough fish as it spends most of its time in large shoals waiting for food to pass by. This is one of the main reasons that it has been heavily fished since the time of the Vikings and then later by the Basque fishermen throughout the Northern Atlantic. If you can’t get a nice fresh piece of cod look for its local cousins, pollack or hake.

For The Salsa Make the salsa about an hour before you need to use it to allow the flavours to develop. In a bowl mix the tomatoes, capers, garlic, parsley and lemon zest together. Season well with salt and pepper then add in a dash of rapeseed oil. Leave this aside for about an hour.

180g Cod per portion

for the fish Season the fish well with some sea salt just before cooking. Heat a non-stick pan to a medium-high heat. Add a dash of oil to the pan and lay the fish carefully skin side down. There should be a nice sizzle from the pan. You can add a few pieces at one time but remember not to overcrowd the pan. Allow this to cook for a few minutes until it has cooked half way up the fish (you will see the colour of the fish changing as it cooks). Once it has reached half way turn down the heat and turn the fish over. Allow the fish to cook on this side for another 2-3 minutes depending on the thickness of the fish. Turn off the heat and add a dash of lemon juice. Allow this to rest for about 3 minutes. Once you are ready to serve place the cod in the centre of the plate spoon some of the salsa around it.

dash of lemon juice

Enjoy!!!

I love when I cook fish to add a simple sauce or dressing to it, making sure that the dominant flavour is the fish itself and whatever is paired with it will merely compliment it. In case you were wondering; the word Salsa might make you sound more sophisticated but in fact it just means sauce in Spanish or Italian. Ingredients For the cod

sea salt and black pepper rapeseed oil For The Salsa 2-3 plum ripe plum tomatoes, seeded and diced 50g capers, rinsed and chopped ½ clove of garlic, finely sliced bunch of flat leaf parsley, finely chopped

Nitrogen and Phosphorus statements for the period 1 January to 30 June 2016 are now available for all farmers online by registering on www.agfood.ie. These N&P statements are a valuable tool, especially for the more intensive farmers, and should assist them in deciding whether or not they need to change their farming practices before the end of the year to stay within the limits set down in the Nitrates Regulations. Farmers not already registered can do for agfood.ie can do so by logging onto www.agfood.ie and clicking the ‘Register’ button.

Making A Will Farmers more than most need to make a will as on death, they leave a large amount of assets, that need to be divvied out to those who they are intended for. These include land, property including sheds and hous(es), entitlement, stock, machinery, entitlements, cash, investments &shares, and other properties. Making your Will is a quite a significant legal task to undertake. This legal document sets out how you wish your assets to be shared out on your death. It is a document that is often thought of too lightly, the comment “anybody can write a will” comes to mind, but if completed incorrectly can have dire consequences for those left behind. When you die your affairs need to be settled up. There are likely to be bills that need to be paid and property to be distributed. A Will is the simple mechanism that allows you to decide what happens to your assets with a minimum fuss and delay. But if you don’t make a will then you have no say where your assets go after your death. This uncompleted task then becomes the “decision”. If you die without making a Will then what happens your assets will be determined by law (Intestate). To Make A Will You Must: •

be aged 18 or over (or be - or have been - married)

• act of his own free will and be of sound mind, memory and understanding •

the testator must know the nature and extent of his/her property and

•

be capable of recalling all of the people who may expect to benefit from his/her estate

•

the will must be in writing

•

the document must be signed at the end by the testator (or by someone in his presence and by his direction)

•

the signature must be written or acknowledged in the presence of two witnesses, both present at the same time and

•

The witnesses must sign in the presence of the testator, but not necessarily in each other’s presence.

•

A witness or his/her spouse cannot benefit under the will

Fair Deal Nursing Home Scheme None of us are getting younger, unfortunately and with an ever-growing population and farming becoming a more and more one-man operation, it is necessary to examine care options for the elderly, that allows them to be looked after, and their successors to continue to work, as “Life Must Go On” The Nursing Homes Support Scheme is a scheme of financial support for people who need long-term nursing home care. Under the Nursing Homes Support Scheme, you will make a contribution towards the cost of your care and the State will pay the balance. This applies whether the nursing home is public, private or voluntary. The HSE administers the Fair Deal Scheme within the resources available and in line with the Nursing Home Support Scheme legislation. Applicants cannot avail of State funding for a nursing home place prior to receiving approval of their Fair Deal application. Under the Nursing Home Support Scheme, prices charged by Private Nursing Homes are agreed between the Private Nursing Home and the National Treatment Purchase Fund. A weekly price for the cost of care in Public Homes is also provided Income and assets: Income includes any earnings, pension income, social welfare benefits/ allowances, rental income, income from holding an office or directorship, income from fees, commissions, dividends or interest, or any income which you have deprived yourself of in the 5 years leading up to your application. Broadly speaking, an asset is any material property or wealth, including property or wealth outside of the State. If you are a member of a couple, the assessment will be based on half of the couple’s combined income and assets. For example, if a couple’s income was €600 per week, the assessment of the person needing care would be based on 50% of €600, or €300. In other words, the person needing care would be considered to have a total income of €300 per week. A couple is defined as (a) a married couple who are living together or (b) a heterosexual or same sex couple who are cohabiting as life partners for at least three years. The assessment will not take into account the income of other relatives such as your children. Your Contribution to Care Having looked at your income and assets, the Financial Assessment will work out your contribution to care. You will contribute 80% of your assessable income and 7.5% of the value of any assets per annum (5% of assets if the application was made prior to the 25th July 2013). However, the first €36,000 of your assets, or €72,000 for a couple, will not be counted at all in the financial assessment. Where your assets include land and property in the State, the 7.5% contribution based on such assets may be deferred and collected from your estate. This is an optional Nursing Home Loan element of the scheme which is legally referred to as “Ancillary State Support”. Your principal residence will only be included in the financial assessment for the first 3 years of your time in care. This is known as the 22.5% or ‘three year’ cap (15% if application was made prior to the 25th July 2013). It means that you will pay a 7.5% contribution based on your principal residence for a maximum of three years regardless of the time you spend in nursing home care. After 3 years, even if you are still getting long-term nursing home care, you will not pay any further contribution based on the principal residence. This ‘three year’ cap applies regardless of whether you choose to opt for the loan or not. All other assets will be taken into account for as long as you are in care. There are important safeguards built in to the Financial Assessment which are worth noting.

A Will Should Contain

•

the testator’s name and address

•

a revocation clause

• You will keep a personal allowance of 20% of your income or 20% of the maximum rate of the State Pension (non-Contributory), whichever is the greater

• a clause appointing at least one (but preferably two or more) executors •

a list of legacies (gifts of money or goods)

•

a list of devises (gifts of real property)

•

a residuary clause, disposing of the remainder of the estate

•

the date

• the testator’s signature and 12 West Kerry Live

Nobody will pay more than the actual cost of care

• If you have a spouse/partner remaining at home, he/she will be left with 50% of the couple’s income or the maximum rate of the State Pension (non-Contributory), whichever is the greater If both members of a couple enter nursing home care, they each retain at least 20% of their income, or 20% of the maximum rate of the State Pension (Non-Contributory), whichever is the greater.

Excerpts From A Dingle Diary

Sunday, August 24. Took the kids for a cycle through Dingle to see the ogham stones at Coláiste Íde and home again by noon. Later watched Kerry beat Meath in the All-Ireland semi-final by 2-13 to 0-12.

By Ted Creedon

Monday, August 25.

Monday, August 11, 1986. Ordered 1,000ltrs of home heating oil from Kellihers of Tralee. It will cost around £150 which is about half of what it cost two years ago. Slattery’s Travel in Tralee have two buses going to London every day - the return fare is £61 which is reasonable.

A very wild night with gale force winds increasing to force 10 during the day and horizontal rain! There was a brief lull around noon and we must have been in the eye of the storm because it returned to violent conditions in the early afternoon. The weathermen said we’re getting the tail end of Hurricane Charlie which

Tuesday, August 12.

came from the Caribbean. We lit a fire in the main sitting-room after tea - unheard of in August!

Am heading to London but hate flying so booked my passage to London with Maurice O’Connor at Galvins Travel on John Street. Will depart from Tralee at 2pm on Sept. 1st.

The Rose of Tralee must be a wash-out.

We all went to see the Siamsa Show at the CBS in Dingle tonight and really enjoyed it.

Tuesday, August 26. Another wild night but worse in the East, according to radio reports this morning. There’s serious flooding in Dublin, bridges washed away, trees down and roads closed.

Thursday, August 14. Twenty years ago today I was on a ship, the Shell oil tanker Helcion in Da-nang harbour in Viet-nam during the war. We were carrying aviation spirits from Singapore for the American base there. Anyway, after lunch I decided to go for a swim in the harbour. Went down the gangway to a small pontoon, dived in and swam around for 15 minutes and out again. Back on the maindeck I heard a noise and looked down to see a huge shark bumping against the pontoon. Yikes!

Friday, August 15. There’s a rumour that the Dunfey family, who own a number of hotels in America, may be buying the Skellig Hotel. After breakfast we all headed off to Bantry - a good dry and bright day. Had to make a detour beyond Kenmare as last week’s floods had washed away part of the main road.

In fact, the litany of damage was the longest we’ve ever heard on the radio but then we expect Dublin to give big coverage to its own troubles while ignoring us country folk.

Sunday, August 31. Tim Collins collected me after lunch and we drove to Blennerville for the first stop in the Kerry Archaeological and Historical Society outing. John Griffin of Tralee UDC gave us a talk on the restoration of the old windmill. The building is almost finished and the sails have yet to be fitted. From there we moved to Killelton where Walter McGrath outlined the background to the oratory and he also spoke at Camp viaduct about the train crash there on Whit Monday, 1893. Tom Francis told us of the sinking of the ship Port Yorrick in Brandon Bay in 1894. Home by 6.45pm.

Glengariffe was like a ghost town, probably because no buses were allowed on the detour road. Arrived in Bantry around noon. The town was choked with traffic and tourists and appears to be thriving.

Saturday, August 16. Ron Wright told me that there won’t be any seine boat races at Dingle regatta tomorrow and that we may have only three crews for the main men’s race.

Sunday, August 17. A fine day with good sunny spells and light northerly breeze. Went to town after lunch for the regatta and the first race got underway at 2.45pm. Charlie Haughey started the event from a launch. I was doing the commentary from Jimmy Flannery’s launch. The Dún Síon crew won the sprint for the third successive year. In the main women’s race the Ventry and Dingle crews were well ahead of the Maharees and Ballydavid women but clashed at the last buoy and were entangled long enough to allow Maharees take the lead and win. Dee Counihan won the women’s single race while Paudo O’Connor took the men’s. Charlie Haughey presented the trophies to the winners and presented kisses to all the women!

Thursday, August 21. The Leaving Cert results are out today with very good results for some of the neighbours’ children. The Kerryman newspaper has no report on the Dingle regatta. Most of the ‘news’ is focused on next week’s Rose of Tralee festival. Nuclear experts are predicting that thousands of people in Europe will die of cancer over the next 70 years as a result of the Chernobyl disaster last May. 14 West Kerry Live

gCorca Dhuibhne. De réir Rialacháin 49 agus 50 de Rialacháin na gComhphobal Eorpach is cion é an Ghliúnach Bhi-orach a scaipeadh nó a cheadú nó a thabhairt isteach nó lena scaoileadh. Má bhfaigheann tú an Ghlúineach Bhiorach ar do chuid talún, is é an rud is tabhachtaí a dhéanamh ná gan ligint don speiceas leathadh amach níos faide. Ná dein na plandaí a struiméail, a bhaint, a shúisteáil ná a shlisniú. Is féidir le píosaí beaga bídeacha den phlanda iad féin a athnuachan agus bíonn sé níos deacra fós an fhadhb a choimeád faoi smacht. Moltar gan cré a rómhar, a bhogadh ná a dhumpáil mar go bhféadfadh ábhar den phlanda a bheith ann a scaipfeadh a thuilleadh é. Comharchumann Dhún Chaoin Teoranta

Beidh fáilte roimh éinne ó pharóistí eile gurbh spéis leo an fhadhb seo. A Public Meeting to Discuss how to Eradicate Japanese Knotweed in Dún Chaoin

Is féidir an Ghlúineach Bhiorach a smachtú má chuireann duine inniúil na luibhicídí cearta léi. Tá gá le pleanáil áfach chun í a dhíothú toisc go mbíonn gá le breis aire ina dhiaidh. Ní mór leis machnamh a dhéanamh ar chonas is fearr an t-ábhar planda marbh a bhainistiú agus a dhiúscairt agus conas aire a thabhairt don t-ithir éillithe. 'Sé an t-am is fearr chun tabhairt fé'n obair ná sa bhFómhar, ó Lúnasa go Meán Fómhair, nuair atá na bláthanna ar an bplanda ach sar a thos-naíonn an planda ag titim i léig. Japanese Knotweed is one of the most problematic invasive species. It is to be seen on waste ground, the edges of roads and along the hedgerows where it dominates the native species and forms dense thickets. It is widely distributed in Corca Dhuibhne. If you do find Japanese Knot-weed on your property, the most important thing you can do is to prevent any further spread of the species. Do not strim, cut, flail or chip the plants. Tiny fragments can regenerate new plants and make the problem bigger. It is advised not to dig, move or dump soil which may contain plant ma-terial as this will spread it further. Japanese Knotweed can be controlled through the application of appropriate herbicides by a com-petent person. It is also necessary to consider managing and disposing of dead plant material and the treatment of contaminated soils. The best time to carry out the work is from August to Sep-tember while the plant is in flower but before the plant dies off for the winter.

Ionad an Bhlascaoid, Monday, 22 August at 7.00 p.m. The results of an Ecological Survey of the parish will be presented and experts will give information and advice on the best strategy and practice We strongly encourage all householders in Dún Chaoin to attend this session because Japanese Knotweed is becoming firmly established in the parish and it is putting structures and other plants in danger Tá an Ghlúineach Bhiorach ar cheann de na speicis choimhthíocha ionracha is mó trioblóide.

Boxing Not So Clever Tadhg Evans “Yeah, AIBA are cheats. They’re f***ing cheats. That’s me. I’ll never box for AIBA again. They’re cheating b******s who are paying everybody. I don’t give a f*** if I’m cursing on TV. That here is the Olympic gold. My dreams have been shattered now. Do you know what? I’ve a big career ahead of me. And these ones? They’re known for being cheats and they’ll always be cheats. Amateur boxing stinks from the core right to the top” – Michael Conlan after ‘losing’ to Vladimir Nikitin. In today’s era of weak stomached eejits who pretend to be offended by content that’s even slightly salty, it’s striking that a foul-mouthed, pre-watershed interview carried by the national broadcaster hasn’t been met with pious condemnation. Anyone who knows anything about boxing knows that Michael Conlan won all three rounds of this bout. Anyone who knows nothing about boxing knows that Michael Conlan won all three rounds of this fight. Anyone who knows anything about body language knows that Vladimir Nikitin knows that Michael Conlan won all three rounds of this fight. Twitter users went from their customary mode of ‘outraged’ to ‘suitably outraged’ within seconds of the referee lifting Nikitin’s left hand: their unfavourable feedback was, for once, justified in scolding the most disreputable judges’ decision since Father Ted Crilly and Father Dougal Maguire’s My Lovely Horse won the right to represent Ireland at Eurovision. It’s not the first time amateur boxing’s left itself open to the suggestion that it’s as filthy as a neglected chicken coop. South Korea’s Park Si-Hun was the nail to Roy Jones Jr’s hammer in the light heavyweight division’s final at the 1988 games in Seoul, but after eight minutes of embarrassingly lopsided boxing, dumbstruck referee Aldo Leoni was forced by the judges to wrest the nail from the canvas so he could raise its arm. Several journalists quoted Moroccan judge Hiouad Larbi as saying, “The American won easily. So easily, in fact, that I was positive my four fellow judges would score the fight for the American by a wide margin. So I voted for the Korean to make the score only 4-1 for the American and not embarrass the host country.” You can kinda see why Park apologised to Jones after being gifted the American’s gold medal. In 1997, an IOC enquiry found that the dishon20 West Kerry Live

ourable decision had been made by judges whose wallets had been thickened with $300 on a daily basis by South Korean officials throughout the games’ 16 days. Suspiciously bad judging has been commonplace under the shadow of the Olympic rings since, but never have officials been as regularly brazen as they’ve been in Rio. Hours before the sure-to-be-infamous Conlan fight, Russian heavyweight Evgeny Tischenko was handed victory over the visibly superior Kazakhstani Vassiliy Levit. Finland’s Mira Potkonen may have been facing a dulled version of the once-peerless Katie Taylor on Monday, but she still lost – though the judges happily dealt an inaccurate card stating otherwise. On the eve of the games, The Guardian wrote that senior officials within amateur boxing had approached them, warning that some of the judges and referees at Rio would be corrupted, and what’s been seen since has done nothing to discredit the newspaper’s sources. The injustice inflicted upon Conlan is especially irksome given the loyalty he’s shown to the amateur game. It’s been pointed out by Limerick’s Andy Lee that 24-year-old Conlan, a World Champion pugilist whose elegance and inherent talent would be discernible even to eyes with no grá for boxing, could have turned professional after winning bronze in London four years ago, but decided to hold tough in the hope of gold: “He could be financially secure by now. It’s disgusting, it’s disgraceful and the worst part about it is that it’s all too familiar with amateur boxing and it’s been going on for years,””, the former WBO middleweight champion told Newstalk’s Off the Ball on Tuesday night. “Usually, you’d take it at a European Championships that are held in the back end of nowhere. But you always felt you’d get a fair shake at the Olympic Games because it’s too big of a stage. There’s too big of an audience. But it seems like they just don’t really care what people are thinking.” Conlan was justified in flipping his middle finger at the judges’ table after the bout – they’d just done the exact same to him, and their decision will test trainers’ knack for keeping fighters sufficiently motivated to keep pummelling punch bags. Roy Jones Jr. is not best remembered as the victim of a ludicrous piece of adjudication – by 1999 he was the World’s undisputed light heavyweight champion, and in 2003

he became the first middleweight champion to win a heavyweight title for over a century. Conlan’s future depends on twisting this sting out before too much toxin’s been pumped, but the zealous Belfast man has both the skill and sense to succeed.
