GAELSCOIL CHORAIN CELE- Youghal Senior Youth Group

BRATES 25 YEARS AS A PIO- cheque presentation to The Irish
NEERING INSTITUTION Guide Dogs For The Blind
By Christy Parker

Gaelscoil Chorain will celebrate its silver anniversary with a night of

music and dancing at the Walter Raleigh Hotel on Saturday next
(14th November). Local band Phantom Sound will supply the
rhythm as parents past and present, along with former pupils re-unite
in an atmosphere certain to be fused not just with joy, but pride.
Gaelscoil Chorain’s inauguration in 1983 placed it firmly in the his-
tory books as it pioneered a new era in Gaelscoileanna in Ireland.
Apart from a few modhscoil that existed since the 50’s, mainstream
tuition through the native language was unheard of. "It provided the
first alternative to the long- established, Christian Brothers’ system at
the time," reflects Principal Sean O’Murchu.
The school began with 32 pupils in a six-room ex-technical school
building off the main street. Enrolments mushroomed to over 250
and an extra room had to be acquired in the nearby community cen-
tre (and a pedestrian crossing installed between them). In 1997, the Amanda Hosford Mansfield, Jayne Knight and members of the Youghal Senior
school moved to its present premises in, the former CBS national Youth Group present a cheque of 508 to Breeda Phillips representing the The Irish
school, when that establishment merged with the Presentation Guide Dogs For The Blind, monies raised from the fun ’Stay Awake’ fundraiser held

ten rooms. Further space is needed in truth but the Batt O’keefe cut-
backs aren’t going to accommodate that necessity in the near future.
The school has won numerous awards through the years, inclusive of
drama, dancing, singing, music and sport. It’s a small wonder that
Mr. O’Murchu, who has been in situ since day one, describes the
atmosphere at the school as "happy."
Children are forever synonymous with stories and as Kerry-born Mr.
O’Murchu reflects, there are many tales, amusing and endearing, to
be told regarding the Gaelscoil Chorain. Those are for another day’s
reading. It’s difficult however, not to mention one of the school’s
more intriguing ex-pupils, from the 1980’s, an era when foreign
nationalities were rarely found behind a desk in an Irish school. "A
lad of about nine enrolled," recalls Sean. "He was unusual in that his
father was German, which was his first language. His second lan-
guage was Polish, as was his mother’s nationality. He spoke fluent
French because the family had been living in France. Now he was
learning Irish and English in Youghal." John Joe O’Shea from The Irish Guide Dogs For The Blind accepts the cheque from

Perhaps the next generation of politicians will better respect the edu-

None of which considerations will dissuade those attending Saturday

past 25 years -and looking forward to the next quarter century and
beyond.

YOUGHAL CELEBRATES IT S ADULT LEARNERS

Fair City actor Tom Hopkins (aka Christy Phelan) and Brian
Crowley MEP were on hand to celebrate the achievements of adult
learners in Youghal at a special award ceremony on Friday 31
October. The event was held in Cumann na Daoine’s new premis-
es in Catherine Street (formerly The League of the Cross). Over 60
certificates were awarded in subjects ranging from computers,
personal development and family communications.
The Celebration of Adult Learners was organised by Youghal’s
Equality for All initiative which aims to promote equality through
improving people’s access to education, training and employment
opportunities. A special round of applause went to the 28 local
women who will graduate from UCC later this year with UCC
diplomas in Social Studies (the course was held in Youghal and
was part funded through Equality for All).

Youghal project centre-

stage in Changing Ireland
Youghal volunteer Dolores Corcoran is featured in the latest edi-
tion of Changing Ireland?, the national Community Development
magazine. Dolores is a voluntary management committee member
of Cumann Na Daoine CDP and since her entry into the
Community Development Programme as a volunteer, she has
become a paid development worker with Dungarvan CDP. She
said that things have changed for better for the community since
Cumann Na Daoine CDP was established. We have very strong
women and men s groups. They outreach into the community in
Youghal and beyond.
It is great to see the growth in those people within their own
community. A disability action and awareness group was recently
set up in the CDP and they have been very active in challenging
Flag Bearers their needs and that of the town of Youghal in perceptions and of
people with disabilities. Our biggest news is we acquired our own
building and all the community in Youghal have full access.
She said she was motivated as a volunteer by the learning you get
from being involved, it continues to challenge me, not alone by
attending meetings where we have to sort out business, but it
challenges my own thought process and views. It gives you a look
at the bigger picture. Dolores credited two people in particular for
getting her to become a volunteer in her community, Flo Dineen
and Sr Maura. The top 4 issues in Ireland today, said Dolores, are
the down-turn in the economy, health service, drug and alcohol
misuse, and people being dishonest. The latest Changing Ireland
Youghal Pipe Band also highlights efforts to re-start Youghal Farmers Market.
The Moyross-based magazine which is available in Eason s, by
post and on the net (www.changingireland.ie) was established in
2001, is managed by a voluntary board and employs local youths
on an occasional basis to pack the magazine. It has, over the years,
highlighted community responses to suicide, antisocial behaviour,
rural isolation and it regularly provides solutions to supposedly
impossible social problems. Minister amon Cu v, whose
Department funds the magazine, launched the web and print ver-
sions of the landmark 25th edition in April saying: Changing
Ireland not only gives people working in community development
a voice, it also provides a central forum for the exchange of
knowledge, experience and ideas . The magazine is printed on
100% recycled paper. For more information about Cumann Na
Tony Gallagher, Roger Morrison and Jimmy O’Mahony Daoine CDP contact Elmarie McCarthy Co-ordinator on: 024-

YOUGHAL ROTARY CLUB class and to all the parent’s and grandparent’s who acted as baby-
sitters to the sunflowers while their children were in school or on
Youghal Rotary Club recently ran a highly successful "Tallest holidays. We Thank you for you support and hope we can count on
Sunflower Competition" among all the school children in the you to support other projects that you might see being run by
Youghal and surrounding catchment area. This began back in May Rotary. We need you to keep us going. We meet every Monday
with visits to the schools with sunflower seeds and telling the chil- night at 6-30pm in The Red Store. If you want to know more or
dren about some of the work that Rotary does around the world. want to come along please contact Secretary Dorothy Heaphy at
Rotary are almost totally responsible for the eradication of Polio 087-9889240.
in most countries that had Polio, funding the Polio Plus campaign
and the immunisation of all the children in Polio stricken coun-
tries. Today Polio exists in just 4 countries and Rotary continues
to keep working to eradicate it. We told the children about the
Jaipur Limb Project........a project again funded by Rotary and
helping the thousands of children who have lost limbs in landmine
accidents. Limbs for these children are very different to the limbs
a child here in Ireland would require for example, legs in particu-
lar.
The legs are made from a local timber, much less good-looking
and because the children in these countries ’squat’ to eat etc, they
have a different movement system then a limb manufactured for
use here in Ireland would have. Because the children outgrow the
legs so fast, the cheaper version but extremely functional leg is a
life saver to all the recipients. They become mobile again and live
a normal life and do not have a to rely on begging to survive.
Rotary have equipped a whole ship as a floating hospital that sails
around the African coast, performing operations such as Cataract
operations and cleft pallet operations and changing the lives of
people with such conditions. Many people have their sight
restored and can see again, can you imagine what that must be
like?...to have been blind and then to be able to see again? Many
blind from drinking contaminated water.
These were just an example of some of the charitable works that
Rotary undertake around the world and Youghal Rotary are proud
to be part of it. Our main purpose in running the sunflower com-
petition was to promote an awareness of Rotary in the Community
and to highlight the work done by Rotary around the world. We
think we achieved this. The poor and wet summer did not dampen
the enthusiasm of the Sunflower growers. The first prize was
1,000 to a charity nominated by the winner, second prize was
500 to a charity nominated by the winner and the 3rd prize was
250 to a charity of the winners choice.
All the children whose sunflowers were measured were invited
along to The Red Store on Monday evening November 3rd in the
company of parent’s and grandparent’s. All the children received
certificates and the tallest sunflower was grown by Emma Page
from Inch National school, with Donall O’Riain with the second
tallest and Julie Roche with third tallest and both of Gael Scoil
Coran. Everyone shared in lovely food and refreshments after-
wards. We express our most sincere thanks to Ithel and Mike
Mckenna of Blackwater Garden Centre for sponsoring the seeds
and we were delighted to have Ithel present on the night to see the
results for herself. Youghal Rotary Club are presenting Phil
Coulter in Concert on November 27th at 8pm in the GAA Hall,
Youghal. Tickets are 35.00 each from Cree’s Card Shop, Youghal

We will also have our Memorial Christmas Tree at Super-Valu
Youghal on Dec. 18th, 19th and 20th. A special chance to remem-
ber a loved one not with you at Christmas by writing their name
on a card and hanging the bow attached to it on the tree.

Changing times
Regretfully we report on the closure of one of our local shops in
Clashmore Village. Due to the current economic climate Yvonne
and Vinnie have made a very difficult decision - one which they
have not taken lightly - to close their local convenience store
"Coonan’s Quick Pick" in the village. However we wish to high-
light that business continues as normal in Coonan’s Quick Pick,
Kinsalebeg. For customers unable to attend the store and who may
wish to avail of Coonan’s daily delivery service please phone
92231 or [087] 1261459. Also all Clashmore post office transac-
tions can be carried out in the Kinsalebeg office.
Yvonne and Vinnie wish to convey their thanks to everyone for
their continued support in both stores and hope you will continue
to do so in the future in Kinsalebeg
Coonan’s had been a source of great employment for locals, both
on a permanent and part time basis - and they provide a great serv-
ice in our local community, we would like to thank them for that
and hope their business will continue to prosper in Kinsalebeg.
Winter Opening times!
Customers and patrons of Coonan’s Quick Pick please note the
winter opening hours at our shop in Kinsalebeg are as follows
Monday - Friday 7am to 8.00pm Saturday 7.30am to 8.00pm and

Death of John Connery
With deep sadness we record the death, on Thursday October 9th
following a long illness of John Connery Dungarvan. A man well
known and highly respected throughout the West Waterford and
East Cork area, John was regularly consulted for his opinion on all
matters of farming - an excellent judge of stock, in former years
Youghal News.....Nov 13th 2008
he purchased animals from farms, fairs and in latter years at marts
for their family butcher shop in Youghal which John ran with his
brother Tommy in the town.
The latter years of John’s life were spent in Dungarvan where he
lived with his wife Maire, there he and Marie were very involved
and devoted a huge amount of their time voluntary to charity
organisations. A gentleman to the core John will be deeply and
sadly missed by his wife Marie his sisters Kathleen [Clashmore]
and Carmel and all his relatives neighbours and friends. Following
requiem mass at St Mary’s Parish Church Dungarvan on Saturday
John was laid to rest in the adjoining cemetery. Ar dheis de go

YOUGHAL TOWN COUNCIL NOVEMBER MEETING
By Michael Twomey
Votes of Congratulations.
Cllr. Beecher congratulated Community Radio Youghal on their
return to the local airwaves. He also extended praise to those who
recently completed the Adult Education course, calling it a won-
derful achievement .
1. Town Foreman s Report.
Cllr. Linehan-Foley had a number of issues to discuss. She began
by restating that a hole on the main street was causing a problem
for pedestrians when vehicles splash through it in the rain. She
added that a number of poles in town are in a very bad condition .
She revisited traffic congestion at the rear of Cherryvale especial-
ly at funeral times and asked for double yellow lines to be put in
place. The Cllr. advised that rubble in the cemetery was allowing
people to climb it and enter property. She asked for an update on
a request for a yellow box at the parish church and that bollards be
placed on the footpath at Dr. Kennedy Place. She said parking on
the footpath there was a real problem. She concluded by stating
that cut grass left on footpaths at Dermot Hurley was turning into
slush and was a concern to residents. Cllr. Burke asked if there
was any news on the proposed bus shelter at the Post Office stop.
He said residents at Dermot Hurley are very concerned regarding
anti-social behaviour although he added he was aware that a pro-
gramme of works being prepared by the Town Clerk could bring a
change of circumstance to the area. Cllr. McLellan said some vis-
itors had expressed their grave disappointment at the state of the
toilets at the cemetery, calling them the worst they d seen in the
world . Cllr. Savage cited an unusual occurrence when he advised
that moss is growing on a number of public roads, these being:
Sarsfield Tce., Kilcoran Rd. and adjacent to Chestnut Drive/St.
Coran s Well. The Cllr. called the moss unsightly . Cllr. Beecher
said smokers are placing their fag butts in the dog bin outside the
League of the Cross. That s not what they are for, he said.
2. Cork County Council Items.
Cllr. Murray informed the Council that there is a ponding problem
at StruthÆin na Sal and that the drainage on the green area is inad-
equate. She added that parking lines needed to be installed as res-
idents are parking parallel. She wished to see these works com-
pleted before Youghal Town Council takes charge of the estate.
She said works on the main street road need to be addressed before
the Council is cited as negligible and complained that the
Fairfield car park footpath is still not complete. Cllr. Linehan-
Foley expressed the view that double yellow lines at Greencloyne
were ineffective against parked vehicles. She stressed the danger
posed by a lack of clear vision to traffic on the main road. The
Town Engineer said that like the situation at Dr. Kennedy Place it
wasa a matter for the Garda to issue fines. The Cllr. rejected the
argument from the engineer that the bollards are an expensive
solution . The Cllr. then told the Engineer that she recently dialed
999 after witnessing water gushing from gullies on Windmill Hill.
She said the flow of water forced some motorists to pull over. She
asked that the Fire Service set up there to warn motorists, but there
was no response . Cllr. Burke asked for updates on ponding at
Gallagher s Tce., the proposed works on the front strand outfall
pipe and footpath damage at Tallow St., Water Lane and Strand St.
Cllr. Beecher also called for work to be completed at Fairfield car
park and said motorists are avoiding a cutting in the road in the
Market Square. Cllr. Savage asked that the surface water on
Quarry Rd. be made a priority as it is flooding peoples drive-
ways. Cllr. Casey noted ponding outside Nagle House and asked
that liners install a disabled parking space on the footpath side at
the rear of the Rivergate Mall. Cllr. McLellan lamentede the
excessive mud being dragged into town by trucks operating near
Foxhole on a site. She said the trucks are not being washed off .
Cllr. Revins requested that traffic calming measures be put in
place between Dermot Hurley estate and Costcutter s Garage. He
said the issue of residents trying to negotiate dangerous traffic is
ongoing for ten years . The Town Engineer responded that pond-
ing is difficult to deal with but would be investigated. He said the
liners would not be back to Youghal until May 2009 at the earli-
Youghal News.....Nov 13th 2008
est. He claimed double yellow lines were a preferred option to bol-
lards to stop illegal parking. He said the issue of moss on road sur-
faces was a new one to me but promised to look at it out of
curiosity . He said the County Council will work at the large pot
holes and that the Fairfield footpath is on their list . He promised
that Quarry Road would also receive attention, though he warned
that there is no proper drainage there. Regarding Dermot Hurley
and traffic on Cork Hill he said he is not a fan of traffic calming
and thought narrowing of the road might be sufficient to facilitate
safe crossing.
Mayor s Business.
Tenders for work on the Knockaverry steps and the Front Strand
outfall pipe were received and opened.
3. Draft Casual Trading Bye Laws 2008.
Cllr. Murray asked that an amendment be made to allow special
events of an appropriate nature and time to take place at Barry s
Lane as it was not designated for trading in the bye laws. She also
asked that traders be given a special dispensation in fees as trad-
ing in the lane does not affect car parking in the area. The Town
Clerk said he would look at the wording of the proposed amend-
ment and forward the amendment to the next meeting. This was
agreed.
Notice Under Section 11(1) of the Roads Act 1997 public
road at Shanavine, Seafield, Youghal.
Proposed by Cllr. Revins, seconded by Cllr. Linehan-Foley.
Legal Advice on resolution of the Council on the following
motion adopted by the Council on September 8th 2008:
That this Council provide designated parking for the residents of
DeValera Street in the new car park on that street .
Cllr. Casey gave a lengthy response to the Council Executive
seeking legal advice on the passing of the above motion. The
Cllrs. were advised by the Senior Counsel that it was the
Counsel s opinion that implementing the motion would be
unlawful . Cllr. Casey read a long letter, signed by himself and
Cllr. Burke, outlining an argument against such a legal opinion.
He said the Councillors could also seek legal advice, which could
disagree with the opinion of the Council Executive s barrister. He
said that could mean a day in court, but stated he did not want this
to happen. A protracted and often fractious debate then ensued for
close to an hour. Cllr. Murray was the first to respond by saying
that regardless of legal opinion on the passed motion she felt the
allocation of 17 spaces to residents was way beyond what should
have been given . She said the original plan to give residents per-
mits without designating spaces was a good offer and called the
motion a misappropriation of funds . Cllr. Savage asserted that
the approach to the problem was wrong from the beginning. He
said designating the spaces to residents was not the only solution
and stated the Council should have invited the residents in . He
said he had spoken to residents and found agreement to his sug-
gestion to make DeValera Street a one way system . He said the
Town Clerk had sought advice and that the Council was now in
danger of granting an irrevocable licence to the residents. The
county Manager said seeking legal advice was done to make sure
what we were doing was legal . The Town Clerk dismissed Cllr.
Casey and Cllr. Burke s argument when he said their references
only applied to public roads and not public car parks. He said the
original plan agreed on by the Council did not include designat-
ing spaces to residents exclusively. Cllr. Burke then declared a
1961 road traffic act, which stated a definition of public places as
including public car parks. He went on to remark, We have the
power to make bye laws for different circumstances. Cllr. Casey
reiterated the need for clear access on De Valera St., citing risk
assessment as crucial to the outcomes. He said parking on the
street would impede emergency services. This prompted Cllr.
Burke to add that any person who is in authority and where a risk
has been identified and the person in authority did not act to pre-
vent such a risk then that person could be personally liable. If the
Manager does not take the carts off the road and there is an acci-
dent then a personal action could be taken against the Manager,
he said. He added that there is a paper trail on file outlining the

conditions didn t mean that the Council was transferring property to
the residents. The Town Clerk argued that the two could not be sepa-
rated. It s the same thing, he said. The County Manager, ignoring
Cllr. Burke s assertion of her own position, again stated that the legal
opinion they (Executive) were given meant implementing the motion
(to designate 17 spaces to De Valera residents) would be illegal. She
said such an act would set a precedent for future public works. Cllr.
Casey said he had downloaded a file which gives case after case
where public property has been given over to private concern and

Park was planned Dublin City Council looked after the residents .
The Town Clerk said Belmont Tce was a public road not a public car
park. Cllr. Burke again argued that the definition of a public place can
include car parks. The Town Clerk retorted by pointing out that a
space was lost at the Coast Guard station due to Cllr. Burke s request
to have an extension to double yellow lines there. The Town Clerk
said following Cllr. Burke s and Cllr. Casey s logic a designated space
should be made for one resident in the area. Cllr. Burke said that
request was in the interests of safety. Cllr. Linehan-Foley asked if the
Councilors had already acted illegally by passing the motion. The
County Manager said that was not the case. She said the motion was
passed but that she could not implement it on legal advice. Cllr. Burke
stated that nowhere in the documentation did the barrister use the
words illegal. The Town Clerk said the word was unlawful . Cllr.
Burke said he understood the fear felt by the excutive but stated that
under the 1961 act, the Council would be within its right to take back
the permits. There is no transfer of land here, he said. The Town
Clerk responded. It s a perceived transfer of rights. The County
Manager then said the 1961 act did not apply to the ordinary use of a
car park. Cllr. Murray said the Council could not favour one group
over another. She added that the residents are unreasonable. The
Mayor reminded the Cllr. that she had wanted to limit the number of
spaces in the first instance. The Town Clerk then suggested that the
motion is unfair and told the Mayor to stop letting the tail wag the
dog . Cllr. Casey and Cllr. Savage then became embroiled in a shout-
ing match with Cllr. Casey accusing Cllr. Savage of not having the
guts to make hard decisions. This infuriated Cllr. Savage who count-
er accused the Mayor of leaving a mess up in De Valera Street . You
railroaded this and what do you have? A great big mess, no develop-
er on site and you ll never find a solution, he said. The Town Clerk
confirmed, by request of the Mayor, that delays to completion were
not related to the motion. The Mayor then challenged. If a life is lost
can you stand up to that? Cllr. Hennessey said the Town Clerk s
question on why the original plan had to be changed was due to the
fact that since 2002 the Council had changed. We are not the same

APPEAL AGAINST SUPER-
MAC’S LATE LICENCE.
By Christy Parker
An Bord Pleanala has rejected an appeal by residents in South
Main Street, Youghal against the Town Council’s decision to grant
extended opening hours to a take-away and restaurant outlet.
Last March, the council granted Supermac’s, a ’temporary, two-
year licence’ to trade until 2 a.m. on regular Fridays and Saturdays
and on Sundays preceding Bank Holiday Mondays. Normal trad-
ing hours of 10am-12.30 a.m. would persist Sunday-Thursdays.
The Bord altered the decision to cover a one-year term to
November 3rd 2009, subject to further planning application being
successfully in the interim. The ruling orders that a ’litter manage-
ment’ plan be implemented in the immediate vicinity of the prem-
ises.
Seventeen objections had been lodged to the application with,
according to local resident Harry Morrison, "many more feeling
equally aggrieved." The objectors said they endured sleep-depri-
vation and a proliferation of extreme anti-social behaviour during
a previous period when Supermac’s breached their licensing agree-
ment and traded up to 3.30 am. The application for extended hours
followed a warning from the council on that breach of licence.
Town councillors unanimously supported the residents but the
council Planning Authority ruled otherwise.
In its judgement, the Bord echoed the Council’s aim "to protect the
interests of amenities in the area", adjacent to the Clock Gate. The
location already accommodates several pubs, two all-night taxi
bases, a nearby nightclub and another take-away outlet which,
having been established in 1959, preceded local authority legisla-
tion. Mr. Morrison condemns the Bord’s decision as
"looking after the pubs and nightclubs" at a cost to local families.
He adds that it’s reasoning is "spurious" and says the litter manage-
ment stipulation "just re-affirms the licence granted by the Town
planners. Yet," he adds, we expressed deep concern that improper,
unsecured bins are liable to serve as missiles in the event of the
social disorder to which we have already been subjected."
The Bord’s decision comes amidst increased concern at the grow-
ing incidences of serious assaults and vandalism.

NEW ARRIVAL
it came up in 2008. The Town Clerk asked the Cllr. But why desig-
nate their places? Cllr. Hennessey replied. Because we are taking
their places off them. Cllr. Savage then proposed that the Council
meet representatives of DeValera Street. His proposal was defeated 8- Congratulations to Carmel and John Daly, Ardrath, Youghal on the

Foley & Savage:
That a Rate increase of 0% coupled with an 0% Rent increase for
Local Authority Tenants be applied for the 2009 Budget. Speaking
on this motion, Cllr. Revins said he felt this was a necessary step in
light of current financial difficulties. Things are bad enough. We
should try to be fair to everyone, he said. The motion was supported
by Cllrs. Linehan-Foley who said it would give businesses and ten-
ants a chance to get on their feet , and Cllr. Savage who said the
motion revealed Cllr. Revin s leadership qualities. Cllr. Casey sug-
gested that curbing rate increases leads to staff reduction. This irked
Cllr. Linehan-Foley. That s very unfair. If we lost jobs its not to do
with us, that s coming from government, she said. Cllr. Burke then
proposed an amendment. He said a rates increase has to at least match
inflation and put the figure a 5%. He said the Council should increase
rates by 5% and decrease Council rent by the same margin, thereby

Get creative with your
Christmas tree!
NOW there’s no excuse for tired, old decorations! The Christmas
tree is often the centre-piece of seasonal decoration in any house
or workplace. Here s a few festive tips.
Top Tip
When picking a tree always bang the stem on the ground, you will
always have the odd needle shed but be wary if too many are lost.
This is a sign the tree has been cut too early and is already drying
and dying.
So, how will you decorate your Christmas tree - in the latest style
and colours? Or will it be a case of dragging out the tree from the
loft and hoping you don’t smash too many baubles in the process?
If it’s the latter then it might just be time to consult our top tips on
how to get the most from your Christmas tree.
The real thing versus artificial
First, decide on live or artificial. Although most of us love the real
thing it s sometimes not practical. There are many very good arti-
ficial trees available, although in my experience you get what you
pay for and it s probably worth investing in a quality tree that will
last for several seasons. If you really can t begin to enter the joys
of Christmas without the smell of a real tree wafting around the
house, then pick a live tree.
Picking a tree
This couldn t be easier! Go to the nearest supplier and choose a
pretty tree. Before buying, it is always a good idea to measure up
to ensure that the tree fits in your pot or living space, that the tree s
in good health.
Choose your tree carefully
You should also decide if your tree will be in a cool area, or in a
warm centrally heated one. If you are likely to have it in a central-
ly heated house, I would advise you to buy one of the high needle
retention trees available. These trees are either Nordman fir,
Noble, Blue Spruce, or Frazer or White Firs. These will usually be
pre-cut, but for the best results will need to be cut again and stood
in water immediately.
’Preserving’ your tree
The easy method for this
is to purchase a self-
watering tree stand, avail-
able in heavy metal or
plastic. Your tree can then
be put in water as soon as
it s cut and can be topped
up throughout the
Christmas period.
Alternatively stand your
tree in a bucket or decora-
tive planter and top up
with gravel. This will
steady the tree and also
allow you to water it. If
Norway fir Christmas
tree, which generally is a
little less expensive then
the high needle retention
trees, should do well. Try
to get one with roots and
pot it into a sandy com-
post mix to ensure it
keeps its needles for as
long as possible. Always
leave your tree in a cool
area until you are ready to
decorate it.

CHRISTMAS PARTY
Any event planner or caterer will tell you the key to a successful
party is planning. It’s not enough to simply make a few dishes and
send invitations. A little advance planning saves you time and
headaches later so spend five or ten minutes envisioning the party
and walking yourself through as a guest. When party time comes,
both you and your guests will have a night to remember!
Dreaming of the Perfect Party: The holiday season is packed with
parties, so it’s a good idea to send invitations three weeks in
advance. The sooner you send your invitations, the less likely it is
that your guests will have committed to another event. Your invi-
tations should state the starting and ending time of your party and
should mention the food you will be serving, whether it is light
holiday fare or a traditional sit-down dinner. And don’t forget to
of your guests can be seated at a time. Position several trash cans
inconspicuously near the food tables and bar to prevent precarious
pileups of plates and traffic jams in the kitchen.
If you don’t have time to deep clean your home the day of the
party, hit the heavy traffic areas such as your living room, dining
room, and bathrooms, and leave the rest for later.
Set the mood with holiday music playing in the background and lit
candles sparkling throughout the house. Personalize the night with
a special activity. Invite your guests to write a holiday wish in a
guest book displayed on your coffee table or ask them to join you
for some caroling. Little details such as these help make your party
an event to remember.
Guests love party favors. Send yours home with a little something
extra: a small ornament, a bag of cookies, even a candy cane with
a bow is a sweet way to say happy holidays. Have fun and enjoy!

INCH ROVERS TAKE EAST

CORK TITLE
In what was a very close fought encounter Inch Rovers J2 team
edged out Carrigtwohill on a score line of 2 - 6 to 1-8 on Saturday
Nov. 1st. Inch made the brighter start with scores from Sarah
Harrington, Siobhain Downing, Aideen Wa1sh and Leah Dorrian
but Carrigtwohill came back to level matters by half time. At the
restart Finola Neville scored a clinical goal for Inch when she
rounded the keeper and followed soon afterwards with a point
from a free. Carrig refused to lie down however and notched up 1
- 3 to take the lead in the closing stages. Inch then showed tremen-
dous character to get back up the field. They recycled the ball a
number of times in front of goal before Danielle 0’ Shea stepped
up and blasted the ball past the Carrig keeper. With the pressure
on Inch once more Yvonne Coleman was outstanding in goal and
the Inch backs led by their captain Michelle Kelly at fullback held
out for the six minutes of extra time to secure the victory. This was
a fantastic team performance considering that Inch had gone down
twice to Carrigtwohill earlier in the season. Team: Yvonne
Coleman, Mags Keohane, Michelle Kelly (Capt), Niamh T.
Fitzgerald, Lizzy Fitzgerald, Noreen Mulcahy, Niamh M.
Fitzgerald, Fiona Cotter, Danielle O’Shea (1-0), Aideen Walsh (0-
1), Leah Dorrian (0-1) Yvonne O’Keeffe, Finola Neville (1-1),

YOUGHAL G.A.A.
JUNIOR B HURLING LEAGUE EAST CORK FINAL
YOUGHAL 0-4 V ST. CATHERINES 1-11
Youghal will consider themselves a bit hard done by to have lost
this game by such a margin. As a contest it was fairly even with
Catherines finding it a bit easier to get scores despite Youghal hav-
ing an equal share of posession. Catherines opened well and were
1-3 to no score up early on with a blistering goal that gave
Youghals impressive keeper Coleman Welsh no chance. The soli-
tary score from Youghal came from Brett Moloney in the opening
period with a fine pointed free from a very acute angle. Plenty of
ball went into the full forward line in the first half but Youghal
minus some key players from earlier in the campaign could not
find the finishing touch. The second half saw Youghal dominate a
lot of the posession but again failed to capitalise. When substitute
Pat Mackey was put through early in the second half the
Catherines keeper made a fine save low to his left. The afore men-
tioned Mackey was dragged down in the area minutes later for a
certain penalty but the ref waved play on and this in effect put an
end to the Youghal challenge. If either of these were converted the
last quarter would have been nail biting for Catherines but it was
not to be. Youghal will be satisfied with their league run having
been unbeaten thus far and but for a serious injury to Micheal
Cronin in mid week and the loss of some key players to emigra-
tion may have taken the title. On the plus side the Goal for the Year
was to get back into the higher grade which was achieved and
there is scope for further improvement next year with some good
young players coming through.
Team: C. Welsh, D. Savage, Mike O Brien, A. Kenny, P.

Congratulations to the Malley Family on their win in the first
County Draw for 2008/09. They were the winners of a weekend
away and hopefully it will be the start of a good run in the draw.
We had a lot of winners last year but failed to land any of the big
prizes. Tickets are still available for the next 10 draws costing 80
euro and can be purchased from any committee member or from
Club Aras.
The Juvenile Club successfully held a teenage disco in the hall on
last Friday week. The show which was run by a company called
Disco Tech saw over 220 teenagers between 13 and 16 years of
age strut their stuff and all the feedback from them was that it was
a great night and the club has had some very good feed back from
the parents as to how well it was run and supervised. A big thank
you to all who attended and behaved so well. Thanks also to all
those who gave of their time to help supervise the event and espe-
cially those who manned the gate on what was a very cold night.
It is hoped to run another at the end of November and a Big
Christmas party disco the night the Schools break for Christmas.
Full details will follow on both of these events.
The Club are in the process of organising a Car Boot Sale for Club
Aras on Sunday November 23rd. The Sale has only been launched
over the weekend and already the phone is hopping with stall hold-
ers trying to book their pitch for the day. Anybody looking for fur-
ther information can contact Ken Bulman and David Kilgannon or
call the Club direct.
DOWN MEMORY LANE:
It all started on a February Evening in 1891, when a group of men
spearheaded by Willie John Broderick, William Farrell, Michael
Browne, John Collins,and John Walsh held a meeting in Youghals
Imperial Hotel then owned by M.& C. O Connell. At this meeting
Blackwater Rangers Football Club was formed. In attendance at
this historic meeting were Dave Treacy, John Connolly, John
Carroll, John Coyne, and Bill Farrell who was elected Chairman
and Michael Browne was elected secretary. When the mention of
a treasurer was raised another attendee James Power of
Ballymacask replied with the very apt statement that in those days
money was scarce and it went out as fast as it came in, so no treas-
urer was elected.
The newly formed club held their first match the following May
on a glorious Sunday evening. Their oponents were Clashmore/
Piltown/Kinsalebeg and the game was played at Bill Farrells pad-
dock field, Frogmore. The Youghal lads went down by 6 points in
a keen struggle that put them on the footballing map as Clashmore
at the time were considered one of the foremost sides playing foot-
ball in Munster.
Prior to 1891 Gaelic Games were infact being played in Youghal.
In the mid 1880 s Handball was being played and Blackwater
Ramblers were competing in tournaments from 1888.
1899 saw the Club apply to become an affiliated member of the
G.A.A. and after a large crowd had gathered to discuss this it was
agreed to approach the Cork County Board and in a letter of reply
from the then Chairman Michael Deering the Youghal Gaelic
Athletic Cycling Association were informed of the backing of the
County Board and Central Council and that once a piece of land
was secured teams would be available to travel to Youghal for
Hurling and Football matches. This response started the scramble
to find a suitable piece of land so the Club could start to compete
as a fully fledged G.A.A. Club.
The story of how the Club ended with Copperalley as their home
turf will follow in later issues.
GORTROE 45 RESULTS
The Gortroe 45 drive has been up and running for over a month
now with increasing numbers of players each week. Last week,
November 5th, there were nine tables with three couples sharing
the top prize on eight games -John Smiddy & David Gleeson,
Gene & Peg and Liam & Angela. The previous week Martin &
Bernie Murray and John Cunningham & Joe Smiddy shared first
and second place with the ladies team Bree Motherway and Bernie
Gleeson winning third place. Yes you got to know when to hold
them, know when to walk away, know when to run .But whatever
you do, don’t miss the Gortroe 45 drive on Wednesdays at 9pm
sharp
YOUGHAL CYCLING CLUB
The club recently held its AGM which was well attended by club
members. A general review of the 2008 season past saw the club
holding several leisure tours which were well attended and very
enjoyable. The purpose of the club is to promote the leisure side of
cycling as a healthy form of exercise with a social element as well.
The club was reformed 2 years ago with members from the old
racing club of the late eighties and early nineties when cycling was
a huge sport in Ireland and local cyclists who took up the sport
recently. Looking at the positives of the past 2 years the club has
secured cycling gear with sponsorship from local businesses and
also last year launched a club website(youghalcyclingclub.com).
Club cyclists have participated in leisure challenge events from the
Wicklow 200,Ring of Kerry cycle to the Sean Kelly tour over the
past years.
Next year the club will hold 4 leisure tours which have been pen-
cilled in to the cycling Ireland calendar. The club would like to
thank Aura leisure complex for allowing the club use its facilities
for these events.
Over the winter months club training spins will continue with a
new approach to introduce novice cyclists to the club runs. For the
months of November and December training spins will leave at
10.00am from the clock gate (next to moby dicks pub). The group
will include both novice and experienced cyclists and the pace will
be very steady so anybody new to cycling will enjoy the spin. The
group will split at an agreed point to allow each group to continue
on their training spin at their own pace.Now is a good time of year
to take up cycling as the pace is steadier than in the new year when
cyclists will up the tempo to target various events, so you can build
your fitness gradually.

spare inner tube etc)

Ask Dr. Marc
The Importance of Ergonomics
By Dr. Marc Bajcic B.Sc, D.C., MCAI
From the time we were children, we
were often taught to have good pos-
ture - "Don’t slouch, sit up straight,
with your shoulders back". Today,
we know that having poor posture can
have adverse effects on our nervous
system which ultimately can lead to a
multitude of chronic problems like
carpal tunnel syndrome, recurrent
headaches, neck and shoulder pain as
well as mid and low back problems.
Contributing to this problem is the
often overlooked importance of how
we organize our workspace and materials around us, encapsulated
in the term "ergonomics", which can adversely affect the stress
and strain on our bodies. Posture
No matter where we are, what we’re doing and in what position we
are in, there is an optimal position our body can and should be in
to decrease stress on both the muscles and joints of the spine.
"Proper posture" is somewhat of a subjective term, due to the fact
that proper posture for one person may not be proper for another
person, based on their body type, structural make up and other
issues like prior muscle or bone surgery and other previous
injuries. However, a person’s optimal posture is that which caus-
es the least amount of strain and/or stress on their spine, ligaments,
muscles and other joints of their body. This means having one’s
body in a position where all joint surfaces whether they may be in
the spine or in the knee in a neutral position.
Some of the distinctive features of neutral posture are:
• Head is balance over the spine (ears over shoulders)
• Shoulders are straight (shoulders over hips)
• Thumbs point forward
• Pelvis is tucked in (hips over knees)
• Knees stay over the feet (when bending)
• Heels are perpendicular to the ground
In a perfect world, everyone would be in a neutral posture every-
day, all the time. But, in reality, the position our body’s are in
varies depending on what line of work we’re in and what time of
day it is. It’ll also vary quite a bit if in fact you’ve previously
injured your back or neck.
Ergonomics
Ergonomics is about organizing the workplace to fit the worker.
Why Should I Care?Having proper ergonomics at your workplace
is crucial to having proper posture.
• To help prevent Repetitive Strain Injuries (RSI)
such as Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
• To help prevent other ailments such as headaches,
eye strain, back and neck strains
• To help reduce stress
• To help increase productivity
Whether you work at a lumber mill or as a computer programmer,
ergonomics plays an extremely important role in helping you to do
your job efficiently as well as with the least amount of stress/strain
on your body.
What Can I Do?
While setting up one’s workstation varies greatly from individual
to individual, very general tips and guidelines should be
addressed.
So....What’s The Solution?
Chiropractors evaluate your current posture and evaluate potential
risk factors or weak points in the spine. Consult with Dr. Marc on
specific guidelines to change your workstation and strengthen
your core postural muscles. Or, if you’re suffering from sleepless
nights or have trouble with your sitting during the day, consult our
office to get helpful tips.

The parents of the late Fionn O’Shea wish to thank most sincerely all our fami-

to thank everyone individually please accept this acknowledgement as a token
of our appreciation.
Always remembered by your loving parents Ken and Shenuka, Grandparents,
Uncles and Aunts and family and friends.
When God calls little children to dwell with him above, We mortals sometime
question the wisdom of his love. For no heartache compares with the death of
one small child, Who does so much to make our world, seem wonderful and
mild, Perhaps God tires of calling the aged to his fold, So He picks a rosebud,
before he can grow old. God knows how much we need them, and so he takes
but a few, to make the land of Heaven more beautiful to view. Believing this is
difficult still somehow we must try, the saddest word mankind knows will always
be "Goodbye." So when a little child departs we who are left behind must real-
ize God loves children, Angels are hard to find
Mangan

Championships. Weather conditions and ground conditions were
atrocious. The fields were very muddy; it was extremely cold and
heavy showers with sleet persisted. However the Club had a great
day winning 22 medals in total, 10 club team medals, 8 inter-coun-
ty medals and 4 Munster individual medals.
Girls U/11
The Girls U/11 team were the first to compete for the club. The
team included Jennifer Hennessy, Emily O’ Keefe, Rachel Dunne,
Niamh Bernard and Fidelma Flavin. Jennifer Hennessy stormed
in to take second place in the last 200 metres from 3rd position.
Emily O’ Keefe despite a bad fall in the first 100 metres and get-
ting spiked powered from 13th position to 9th position in the final
300 metres finishing very strongly. Both of these girls won
Munster individual medals, Jennifer the silver medal and Emily a
bronze medal. Rachel Dunne finished very strongly in 20th place
overtaking 5 girls in the final 100 metres. She was followed by
Niamh Bernard again finishing strongly in 40th place to complete
the team scoring. Fidelma Flavin (Jennifer’s cousin) who was run-
ning up an age and competing in her 3rd race finished in 80th
place. This was a very good performance for the youngest team
member and who has only been training a short while. All 5 girls
truly deserved to win the Munster Club Championship title fol-
lowing their outstanding performances. The Cork team came sec-
ond in the Inter-County section; Jennifer was the second scorer,
Emily was the third scorer and Rachel the fifth scorer. All three
girls won Munster inter-county silver medals
BOYS U/11
The boys U/11 team included Fearghal Curtin, Diarmuid Clancy,
Conor Forde and Aaron Walsh. Diarmuid Clancy led the race off
on a blistering pace followed by Fearghal Curtin in the leading
group. Both lads ran a thrilling race and put last year’s Munster
Champion Dean Crowley from Kerry under pressure as he tried to
hang on to the two. Diarmuid led into the final 300 metres where
Fearghal overtook and went on to win the Munster title in a very
strong finish. Diarmuid was very unlucky to be overtaken by
Dean Crowley in the very final stretch but finished in a very good
3rd place. Diarmuid has already won his individual title in the
U/10s.
Fearghal won the Gold medal and Diarmuid took the bronze
medal. Conor Forde who is having a very good season and show-
ing tremendous improvement this year finsihed in a very strong
position in 51st place which was well up the large field. Aaron
Walsh who was running his very first cross country race did very
well under severe conditions to finish in 86th place and to com-
plete the scoring for the lads. The Club team finished in 5th posi-
tion out of a total of 14 teams. The scoring was very close
between the third and fifth teams. The lads only missed out on
bronze team medals by 12 points and qualification for the All
Irelands by 2 points. Cork came first in the inter-county section ;
Fearghal was the first scorer and Diarmuid was the second scorer
so both boys won Gold Munster inter-county medals. Conor
Forde was the twelfth athlete in from Cork and narrowly missed
out on qualifying to run for the Cork team in the Nationals by two
places.
GIRLS U/15
The Girls U/15 team had another marvellous day. The team
included Lorraine Bernard, Emma Hennessy, Emma Flavin, Ciara
Broderick-Farrell and Patricia Curtin. Lorraine Bernard led the
team home finishing in 13th position and missing out by one place
on an individual medal. Emma Hennessy ran very strongly to fin-
ish in 16th place and again Emma Flavin was in close pursuit in
17th place. Ciara Broderick-Farrelly ran well despite the fact that
she was not feeling well during the race finishing in 41st place.
Youghal News.....Nov 13th 2008
Patricia Curtin finished in 56th place. This was superb scoring for
the girls who have shown tremendous inprovement over the past
12 months. They have now won a total of 15 Munster
Championship medals between them over two Munster
Championships less than a month apart. Their team came second
so all girls won silver club team medals. Cork came second and
Lorraine Bernard, Emma Hennessy and Emma Flavin all scored
on the Cork team winning silver inter-county medals.
GIRLS U/19
Niamh O’ Regan competed in the Girls U/19 race under extreme
weather conditions. It was extremely difficult to run as the under-
foot conditions were pure mud at this stage of the day. Showers
became very heavy during the race making the race more difficult.
Niamh ran in a very determined fashion and put in a very solid
performance to finish in 16th place. She was unlucky to be out-
side the individual medals. It was also very disappointing not to
have enough Cork girls running to score for a Cork team.
