Sadly Missed by her Family SECOND ANNIVERSARY

~ John Delaney ~ Who died on 15th July 2005 Distance takes us far apart And darkens my today. I have to keep remembering - You re just a thought away. When the world is too confusing, times are hard to bear, I pull your precious meaning, Your bright spirit, from the air. If I sometimes drift into a lonely state of mind, I gather up the memories of days we left behind. And though you re not beside me, I can tap into my heart and draw upon the warmth and love That lives when we re apart. And with these fond reflections of the times when you were near I sense a little bit of what it s like to have you here

Cllr. Martin Hallinan Tackles Local Issues at Co. Council Meeting Crossing at Crowley’s Service Station, Youghal Cork County Council has said that numbers do not warrant a pedestrian crossing at Crowley’s Service Station, Youghal. However the Council will provide double yellow lines at the housing estate opposite and will make provision for trucks parking nearby. Cllr Martin Hallinan who had raised the issue said that all possible safety measures must be taken for this busy crossing point and there should also be due consideration for the business activity at Crowley’s Service station. Town Dump - Flies and Smells Cllr Martin Hallinan refused to accept that all was well with the town dump during tense exchanges at Cork County Council on the issue. "The complacent attitude of the Council as regards the situation in the dump is not reflected in the experience of townspeople and visitors. We have been infected with flies of extraordinary size and number as well as a foul odour. Cork County Council needs to get their finger out on this one. Its one thing making us the dumping ground of County Cork, but this is a town, which depends on the visitors, and neither they nor the townspeople should have to put up with what we have endured over the past months with this unhygienic mess. The situation at the dump could adversely affect our tourist trade" No Provision for Lighting in Foxhole Cllr Martin Hallinan expressed extreme disappointment at the lack of provision for lighting in Foxhole this year. "When the fatality occurred on this stretch a few years ago, everyone was falling over themselves saying that something must be done. Unfortunately memories fade fast and despite my efforts to have the road from Copper Alley to the Bypass roundabout lit, nothing has been done. I am not enthused by the Councils assurance that they will try to include it in next year’s allocation." Bus Eireann to Look at Means of facilitating Passengers from East Cork At Kent Station Bus Eireann are in discussion with Irish Rail and Cork City Council regarding the future development of Kent Station and how bus passengers from the east of the County can be facilitated getting to Kent Station. Replying to a motion before Cork County Council by Councillor Martin Hallinan, Bus Eireann also said that they would soon be extending the bus route from Cork Airport to include Kent Station, further integrating the transport network.

Cork International Folk Dance Festival Open Air Performance At The Market Square

Photo Michael Hussey

The sun came to Youghal and with it a hugely entertaining performance of open-air music, song and dance. Some of the best performers in the Cork International Folk Festival brought with it colour and magic to the East Cork town, including special guest star ’Sefirah’ a belly dancer with the Hungarian Group who performed a dance from the Middle East. Members of the Polish and Hungarian folk dance contingents, along with the Owenabue Valley Traditional Group, Carrigaline kept the large group of locals and tourists alike enthralled for over two hours. Cork’s 96 & 103FM were on site for a ’live link’ as one of the main sponsors of the Festival. Yes, it’s been a long wait but summer has truly finally arrived! The Cork International Folk Dance Festival continues until 22nd July. For further information contact: 021 4372035 or www.corkfolkdancefest.com

REPLICA OF HISTORIC BOAT DOCKS IN YOUGHAL. By Christy Parker

POTENTIAL CATASTROPHE AVERTED ON BYPASS

By Christy Parker

The Spray docked in Youghal Harbour recently Pic: Michael Hussey

One of the more unusual watercraft to visit Youghal in recent years, docked at the Ferry Slip recently. The Spray Dellquay is a steel version of the original Bruce Roberts Spray, a 37-foot wooden rebuilt sloop-rigged fishing boat in which American Joshua Slocum became the first sailor to sail single-handedly around the world. Slocum left Boston Harbour on April 24th 1895 and returned to Newport Rhode Island on June 27th 1889 after sailing 46,000 miles. By comparison the Dellquay arrived in Youghal directly from the Isle of Wight, albeit having negotiated this year’s summer weather. As crewman Robert Sharp put it, "We had the weather on the nose throughout and had to motor nearly all the way." Built in Liverpool in 1999, the boat measures "50 ft inclusive of bow spreads, has a 15ft beam and is gaff-rigged", said owner Robert Few. (There’s a lot of ’Robert’ about the Spray Dellquay!) Originally from the Isle of Wight Mr. Few used to drive 100,000-ton tankers. He is now domiciled in Lowtown, Co. Kildare, where he runs Lowtown Marina on the site of the old CIE Grand Canal Transit Yard. The marina houses over 240 various craft. After his legendary world tour, the original Spray was lost with Captain Slocum aboard in 1909, while sailing from Vineyard Haven on the island of Martha’s Vineyard for the Orinoco River in Venezuela. The Dellquay crew were confident of reaching Kildare refurbishment however. The boat was resting in Youghal while awaiting extra crew. Meanwhile crewman Sharp revealed that he had recommended Youghal as a stopping port after recently visiting the town for a day. "I could sense it’s old seafaring tradition the moment I arrived", he said. "The harbour is ideal for small craft and I know it has a wonderful history too, which I don’t yet know much about. I think they made Moby Dick here", he added innocently. Mr. Sharp, a 46 year-old magazine distributor, took up sailing in his 30’s. He mostly enjoys "bring a boat on a journey" and has voyaged through the Spain/Portugal and the Azores as well as crewing a 65 ketch to Norway. When told of Youghal harbours high hopes of acquiring a marina some day, he hoped, "it doesn’t spoil it for small boats like ours to visit too". Last week as the summer rain fell on the quayside chat, another middle-aged visitor paused to intrude. "This boat gemme back to Bawston?", he joked. He was only 112 years too late.

Gardai and Fire Services clear up the danger on Youghal Bypass Pic: Michael Hussey

A POTENTIAL major disaster was averted on the Youghal bypass recently when a petrol tanker was found to be leaking fuel. The incident, which occurred on Saturday July 14th, saw the bypass closed for nine hours. Emerging details since reveal that major loss of life may have been avoided only pure luck and a vigilant motorist. The drama unfolded at 7.45 a.m. when a motorist noticed petrol dripping from a petrol tanker owned by Ardfinnan Oil Ltd., Co. Tipperary. The tanker was ferrying 28,000 litres of petrol plus a lesser quantity of diesel in seven compartments from Whitegate oil refinery to its home base. The shocked lorry driver immediately shut down his engine and contacted gardai, who were soon on the scene. Two units of Youghal fire brigade under Station Officer Tommy Roche quickly followed and Officer Roche ordered the bypass be closed immediately as the petrol continued to leak slowly onto the verge. Fermoy and Midleton gardai, as well as an Ardmore fire unit and a water tanker from Midleton fire station also attended the scene, as did East Cork Assistant Chief Fire Officer, Francis Murray. A six-inch crack affecting two of its seven chambers was discovered beneath the tanker. "It could easily have ignited and was potentially a major disaster", confirmed Officer Roche. Cork Council supplied special absorbent material to soak over 800 litres of spillage and also located specialised pumping equipment to transfer the petrol to second bulk carrier that arrived from Ardfinnan. It is unknown if the fuel was leaking throughout the journey from Whitegate, through Castlemartyr and Killeagh. Certainly, were it not for the sharp-eyed motorist, it would have journeyed through Clashmore, where a discarded cigarette butt or even a spark from another vehicle could have brought unprecedented catastrophe. Such petrol leakages are extremely rare as carriers are stringently checked. The carrier involved in the bypass incident had been in service for several weeks prior to the incident without any apparent cause for concern. A spokesman for Ardfinnan Oils declined to elaborate on the incident "as there is an investigation ongoing by the Health and Safety Authority". Gardai say they are not investigating the incident. Meanwhile the merciful driver departed the scene almost immediately and his identity is unknown. Probably one of those guardian angel fellows .

Dunnes to Open in Youghal By Michael Twomey YOUGHAL Town Council are set to give the green light to developers which will see Dunnes Stores operating in the town. Kerry group Galvin Developments presented their project to the Council Members on Monday last and asked the Council to rezone the former Murray’s Kitchens and Courestan Carpets site on the Mill Road from non-retail mixed use town centre to town centre. That move would effectively permit convenience retailing including a large supermarket, comparison retailing, including a department store, and the sale of bulky goods. Developer Gerry Galvin said it had taken 3 years and 10 months to get to the stage where he could meet the Council. "It’s taken a lot of hard work. We want to give the modern retailer what they want. I hope our presentation shows our commitment and our word is our bond. This site has not come easy," he said. While Dunnes Stores would be the anchor tenant an additional 17,000 sq feet will be available to prospective companies. Mr. Galvin told the Council that interest has already been shown. "Other companies have shown serious interest but the rezoning has to be done first," he said. Asked what type of stores locals could expect to join Dunnes Stores, he replied. "One is sports looking for plus 6,000sq feet, another is high quality fashion." The presentation outlined what is envisaged for the site known as Indian Point. Architects stated that the current height of the site would not be altered and would not obstruct the view of residential homes behind the building. Council members reacted very favourably to the presentation. Cllr, Barbara Murray welcomed the news but expressed some caution about the location of the project, citing the effects on smaller retailers on the main street. "We don’t want to crucify the town centre. We don’t want to see coffee shops, hairdressers, these types of businesses there," she said. The Cllr. added the project was ’sensitively designed’ and presented by ’credible developers’. Cllr. Mary Linehan-Foley said. "This is very exciting for Youghal. Everybody has been waiting for Dunnes to come. I know what Cllr. Murray is saying but I think we should bring in as much as we can; people want choice. I know the Chamber of Commerce were nervous about Lidl and Tesco but they have been good for Youghal. It will have a great knock-on effect for the town." Cllr. Casey wanted to know what time frame is on the project once rezoning is agreed. Mr. Galvin said it ’would probably be in 2009’. Cllr. Casey then asked how many would be employed by the project. Mr. Galvin estimated that ’100 plus’ would be employed at construction stage with ’approximately 120’ employed in the retail stores. Cllr. Liam Burke said the proposed arrival of Dunnes Stores was ’wonderful news for Youghal’. He added that Dunnes would ’offer a counter balance to LIDL and Tesco’. "As far as I know Dunnes is 100% Irish owned," he added. The Cllr. asked if some recognition of Youghal’s heritage could be incorporated into the design of the project to make it ’unique to Youghal’. Architect for the project Joe Doyle replied that while Dunnes has ’a corporate facia that they want’ the other 17,000sq feet of retail space was open to design ideas in conjunction with the developer. "The more leverage the Council gives in the rezoning the more we can do. We want a project that is modern and contemporary but respects history," he said. The architect then took up the concerns expressed by Cllr. Murray on behalf of main street businesses. "Youghal is the capital of east Cork. A shut down high street is no good for us. Shopping is a leisure activity and people won’t spend time in just one place. More variety anchors the whole town, creates a spin-off. People who are drawn into Dunnes will take up the retail trail into the town centre," he said. He also argued that the development would offer an ’enormous opportunity for comparison retailing’ and that the ’rising tide would lift all the boats’. He added that Gerry Galvin has a motto that the project will be built around. "When you re doing something leave something for the other guy and that is what we will be doing. Dunnes on its own won’t work. You should show the courage to grab this as it could be the catalyst for regeneration," he said. Cllr. Revins said the presentation had ’answered all their questions’. He contin-

ued. "I’m behind this 100%. I have a business and I’m not worried about Dunnes coming. Youghal needs this, don’t let this opportunity slip." Mayor David Savage joined the chorus of approval. "This is a top drawer project. It’s fantastic that you have chosen Youghal. This Council is pro-development. There is a certain amount of fear from town retailers but they are resilient and when the dust settles they will see this is good for the town. This is an opportunity to boost commercial viability," he said. The Mayor added that the purchaser of the site was ’the town’s best kept secret’. Local resident Kieran Cliff who made Galvin Developments aware of the site’s availability in 2003 commented on the need for urgency. "To get Dunnes in deserves great praise. Rezone quickly; if we don’t other towns will," he said. The Town Clerk spoke to members after the meeting, advising them on the next steps to be taken. "All the details the developer gave are in line with the National Development Guidelines, that is very important to note. A four week public consultation process will begin in mid-August with councillors then making a decision in view of submissions. I would suggest that the rezoning process would be a new type of zoning. This will be retail mixed uses restricted. That means it will be specific to site (Dunnes) size and cannot be varied. There will be one anchor tenant with other units of such size that allows flexibility. This safeguards the Council against the developer selling on. All our dealings with Galvin Developments have shown them to be fair, honest and true to their word. They have a national reputation. This project coincides with the aspirations of the Town Development Plan. The town over the past two decades has not been commercially sustainable," he said. The project is the first time Galvin Developments has built outside Kerry. Mr. Galvin had observed earlier: "This is our first development out of Kerry, we want it to work. Subject to the Council’s decision to rezone, fine tuning of prospective businesses and appeals to subsequent planning, Dunnes Stores should open its doors to the Youghal shopping public in October 2009.

Attractive historic venues, such as Fota House, Cloyne Cathedral, and St. Mary s Collegiate Church in Youghal, are the settings for the best music from ninth to nineteenth centuries, all performed on instruments appropriate to the periods and in a style that is as lively today as it is true to the way it sounded then. Top international stars like Elizabeth Wallfisch, baroque violin, Wilbert Hazelzet and Rachel Brown, baroque flute, Gerry O Connor, traditional fiddle, the London Handel Players, John Elwes, tenor, and many more perform a varied and innovative programme alongside the best Irish musicians in the field. Full programme details are available on our website, www.eastcorkearlymusic.ie, or by phoning 021 463 6761. Booking is through the Cork Opera House [contact details] Bach s Brandenburg Concerto No. 3 and his triple concerto for three harpsichords can be heard in a gala concert presented in association with the Cork School of Music, CIT, in their new Curtis Auditorium. Schubert s classic song cycle Die Winterreise will be heard with an original Clementi Square Piano from Schubert s own day, kindly loaned by the Royal Irish Academy of Music. In the intimate and gorgeous surroundings of Fota House pioneering tenor John Elwes will be accompanied by pianist Una Hunt. On the forerunners of modern brass instruments, sweet sounding cornetts and sackbuts, London-based ensemble QuintEssential will perform music in the Venetian tradition in Cloyne Cathedral, as well as performing in schools in East Cork.

CORKBEG ROAD RACE A record number of just over 100 athletes turned out for the eleventh annual Corkbeg 5-mile road race, organised by East Cork AC in conjunction with the Corkbeg Sports & Social Club. Held from the picturesque venue overlooking Cork Harbour, conditions were ideal with the tempting aroma of the barbeque in aid of Enable Ireland welcoming the runners back to the finish. There was a unique Ballincurrig double as James McCarthy and Linda Geary took the individual honours, representing their respective East Cork and Midleton clubs. A sponsored walk was also held over the course in conjunction and this, along with the barbeque, raised a sizeable sum for Enable Ireland on what was an enjoyable (if somewhat rare!) summers’ evening.

A Feast of Things to do in East Cork Hot off the press this week is a brand new double act map, depicting the huge diversity of things to see and to do in the East Cork and Blackwater area. This wealth of information is in the form of an Activities, Heritage and Garden Trail combined on a simple double sided tear-off sheet. Ryan Howard, Chairman of East Cork Tourism, noted, This new promotional tool will be distributed throughout Tourism Information Offices in the South West Region and in the Waterford area. Stena Line has also agreed to put the map pads on their ships and at the ports of Rosslare, Dublin Port and Dun Laoghaire. Ryan went on to add, Naturally, they will also be available to our tourism providers for their guests. Work commenced on this project recently and it is hoped that these trails will be further developed. Different activities and heritage interests are depicted with numbered symbols and all are included on the index - with so much going on, it was quite difficult to fit everything in, noted Margot Mulcahy of East Cork Tourism. Going forward, these maps will be fine tuned and amended on an annual basis. Margot went on to add The maps were developed initially as part of the DART project with Blackwater and we decided to utilise these to encourage visitors to stay in the East Cork area longer - as a great base for exploration! We are also currently participating in the Failte Ireland Mergo Tourism Network so this was also a great opportunity to forge stronger links with our network partners in North Cork. The development of the Heritage and Activity Map Trails is supported by ECAD Ltd and East Cork Tourism would also like to note the support of the Town Councils in Midleton, Youghal and Cobh.

Sharon, Jackie, Kevin, Mandy, Angela and their families IRELAND WIN THE JUNIOR INTERNATIONAL CHALLENGE CUP

Youghals Christopher Cooney helped Ireland’s Under 14 Snooker Team with the Junior International Challenge Cup in Carlow on 14h/1Sth July. Christopher, a member of Youghal CYMS, was part of a six-man team who defeated Qatar and Wales by 1 frame to take the Challenge Cup for the first time in six years. Along with 2 other players - Josh Boileau and Daniel Dempsey Christopher was making his Irish debut and performed admirably and contributed to the Irish victory in the six matches he played. The quality of the opponent, the pressure and tension he experienced will stand to him in good stead for the future. The 13 year old becomes our second junior member to represent his country (2006 James Hennessy) and the first Youghal player to be part of an Irish team to win an International event. Irish Team (L to R) Josh Boileau (Naas), Christopher Cooney (Youghal), Daniel Dempsey (Monasterevin), Andrew Gray (Waterford), David Cassidy (Cork) and Daniel O’Regan (Macroom). On Thursday July 14th Youghal juniors travelled to Carlow to play Qatar in a friendly and lost 22 frames to 20. An excellent performance by a very young Youghal team consisting of Ger Kelly, Simon Herlihy, Sammy Hassen, James Hennessy, Dane Ring, Corey Maloney, Aaron Tobin and Christopher Cooney.Great wins for Sammy Hassan and Simon Herlihy were highlights of the excellent Youghal performance.

Galleon 2007 Galleon, one of the most popular folk& ballad acts to have ever graced a stage, are about to set sail yet again. It will be a short voyage, a concert in the East Avenue in Killarney on Saturday August 24th and a second concert in the Walter Raleigh Hotel in Youghal on August 4th. The band were formed in 1979 and from their base in Cork travelled far and wide. It is fair to say that by the time Galleon retired in 2002 the band had made a significant contribution to the entertainment scene from Cork to New York, and many places in between. Regular tours of Britain, Europe, Canada and the United States ensued but the lads never lost touch with their enthusiastic fan base in Ireland. Galleon was founded by 5 guys who worked together in a hospital in Cork. They found that gigging was the perfect antidote to the demands of their daily work and throughout their 23 years on the road there were very few changes in personel The line up for the 2007 tour is the same as those who performed in 2005 reunion concert. All have been members of Galleon at one time or another. The line up is Mick Mangan. On Guitar and vocals, Tim’O’Sullivan, on guitar, percussion and vocals, Ger Walsh, on Guitar, mandoline, banjo, whistles and vocals And the inimitable Declan Lynch, on Bodhran, vocals and creating general mayhem. These are four of the original members of Galleon and they will be joined on stage by Andy Dunne on Guitars and vocals, Paul Seymour on keyboards and vocals and Johnny Campbell on Bass Guitar and vocals. This is a cocktail of troubadours who have sailed aboard the good ship Galleon for different stages of its musical voyage. During its 23 year career the band has produced numerous c.d’s appeared on a host of t.v. shows including "The Late Late Show" Live at Three and also on coast to coast t.v. in Canada. They also did a one hour special "Galleon Live in The Subway" for German National t.v. When their recording career began vinyl was still the most popular recording medium, in fact, c.d.’s had not been heard of, one of the ventures the band will never be allowed to forget was to bring out a record celebrating Kerry’s 5 in a row all Ireland victories. The song got lots of airplay in the weeks leading up to the final but unfortunately Kerry failed to win and the rest is history. The Sunday World newspaper awarded the band "The Gobshite of the year award" for 1982, a now treasured possession of the lads. Rather than let this be seen as a setback it was onwards and upwards for the Galleon boys. The bands repertoire Was not simply based on "gimmicky" songs. Each band member is a vocalist of some note and each had a fondness for particular musical styles and songwriters and this materiel was reflected in the stage show. In fact a lot of the songs performed by the band through the years were penned by the band members themselves. They gave the music new life and the choruses were powerful and with harmonies unique to Galleon Around Christmas 2003 during a party the members of the band discussed the possibility of a reunion concert. After a lot of organisation this took place in Rochestown Park Hotel in October 2004. The concert was a complete sell out and more importantly the band got a tremendous "buzz" from the experience. There were two more concerts in Ireland that year and five in Germany where Galleon were particularly popular. Now the 2006 tour is upon us and the Irish schedule is: The Walter Raleigh Youghal 4th August The East Avenue Killarney 24th August

Chernobyl Aid Youghal Group Philip and Sal Tivy very kindly invited our group of fourteen children, their interpreter and lots of Irish pals, to an afternoon of fun at Perks. The children raced from carousel to ghost train, from pool to bowling and it was a joy to watch them. Chernobyl Aid is ten years old this year. During that time we have provided hundreds of holidays for children from the contaminated areas of Belarus and we have sent convoys with voluntary workers and building materials to Grozovska Orphanage, where many of our children live and go to school. It is our aim to transform the lives of the children who live there by restoration and ongoing maintenance at the orphanage. Life in Belarus for these children is grim and difficult. It is a huge privilege to be able to share the wonderful place in which we live with them for a short time each year. One month away from Belarus extends the anticipated lifespan of a child by two years. When they are here they enjoy fresh air, clean good food, and most importantly, they experience family life and one to one attention. We could not continue our work without the support of very many people and our special thanks to Phillip and Sal Tivy, management and staff at Perks for their kindness and generosity. We all had a fabulous time.

the caliber of Stephen and Michael the future of golf in Yougal is secure. All credit for the health of junior golf in Youghal must go to P.Moylan, Eileen Farrell, and Liam Kelly for their time and effort. Congratulations also to the Coyne twins.

TRIATHLON 07 ANOTHER SEASIDE SUCCESS By Christy Parker Under an unseasonably serene sky for 2007, Youghal’s Seventh annual Youghal Triathlon took place last Saturday. Before about 200 onlookers over 300 athletes from throughout Ireland and beyond, aged 16 to 54, of which 44 were female, walked into the Claycastle sea at 10.30 am on the first leg of a three-part challenge that some of us find exhausting just to remember. Some were serious athletes, many just fitness & fun enthusiasts. Then, having swum 750 metres, most of them immediately proceeded to cycle 20km to Killeagh and back before running 5km. All this in the one morning mind you! Madness!! Trevor Woods had done it all the fastest for five of the past six years. He was absent on the other year and even then he’s so good it wouldn’t have surprised anyone if he’d won it anyway. The 36 year-old from Tyrone is an exercise physiologist (obviously!) in UCC. He weighs 10st 5lbs, about .0005 ounces of which is fat and prefers calm seas as "heavy tides throw me around a bit", he reveals. Recently Trevor broke the Irish record for longer-distance triathlon (about nine hours) in his inaugural participation in the Ironman championships in Austria. Last Saturday he emerged from the water after 9mins 32 seconds, came back from Killeagh another 27.46 later and completed his run in 22. 07. The run actually took him 14 seconds longer than 20 year-old Colm Turner from Limerick but his total of 1.00.04 still gave him 17 seconds to spare over his young opponent and crown pretender. Getting wed in three months, Trevor collected a Quality Hotel weekend for two and 200, part of a 3,000 prize package from main sponsors Quality Hotels, Club Energizer Sports, Youghal Town Council and Youghal Festivals. Quality Hotels probably don’t bother asking Trevor for the key any more when he checks out. Few people are as happy or as convivial in their pursuit as Trevor, who has been running triathlons since 1989. "I do it because I like the lifestyle," he smiles, expounding the logic of all masochists. He finds it "helps to keep the weight off" and "being able to go for a run and not feel exhausted afterwards" delights him. So there you are -the best way to avoid fatigue after a run is to go for a swim and a long cycle first! Trevor favours the cycling discipline, in the first indication that he may be getting lazy. He intends trying for an eight title next year and wants to be the best, if not overall then within his age group, for many more. He cycled back to Cork afterwards. I suppose it’s cheaper than the bus. The triathlon included various age group contests, each of which carried financial prizes. Meanwhile the fastest lady was Limerick’s Aibhe Healy -in the F30-34 age group- who completed 29th overall in 1.14.27. Sean O’Bulmain, one of about 20 local competitors, was the top Youghal competitor, finishing 36th overall in 1.15.52 and 3rd in the M40-44. Elizabeth (Beth) Costigan, from Rochester New York proved an intriguing participant. Currently holidaying with her parents in Ardmore, she is a photo-journalism student and wished to accompany local photographer Michael Hussey on a few assignments. However, on hearing of the triathlon, she opted to compete instead. Beth managed to borrow a one-speed bike and the requisite paraphernalia needed to contest her first ever triathlon. She finished a creditable 144th in 1.31.16, taking second in the F20-24. "I’ve been training for something but I didn’t know what", she then explained, having found her vocation. It was "fun" she said in the way Americans describe stuff they survive. "The water was freezing though," she added. "I hadn’t swam in the ocean since I lived for six months in Ardmore seven years ago. But yeah, it was fun," she repeats. As some of us slowly recover from standing for over 90 minutes that, I suppose, explains it all. On behalf of the triathlon organising committee, chairman Tommy Roche wishes to thanks the very many organisations and individuals who made the occasion such a safe and memorable success. "Many competitors complimented the stewarding", he adds. Full & comprehensive results of triathlon on www.triathlonireland.com

Youghal United A.F.C. Sponsored by DR Developments Teams for the coming season The following is a list of teams entered into the leagues for the coming season.

Under 11 Under12 Under 13 x 2 teams Under14

Under 15 Under 16 Senior team.

We still are looking for bodies to manage our U14 & U16 teams. If anyone is interested in helping out in anyway please contact any member of the committee. Again I would ask parents to try and help out with the younger kids 6yrs-10yrs as bodies are low in caring for this age group. Dog Foul - Dog Ban I am sorry to say that the club have to introduce a total ban on dogs being let free or walked by there owners in the clubs grounds at Ardrath Park. This is because of a very serious health and safety issue that has being getting progressively worse over the last year. The amount of dog foul that is on the clubs pitches and training facilities is totally unacceptable. A lot of dog owners are bringing there dogs into the grounds and letting them free and don’t seem to care about the foul. Dog foul is a very serious hazard to players who, if they get it in there eyes can be blinded in certain circumstances. Also this goes for our FAS guys who when cutting the grass. Another aspect is that it just isn’t nice for an eleven year old to fall on the ground while playing a game and, get destroyed in dog foul which has happened. Also a referee can call off a game if he deems the pitch to be a health hazard to the players because of foul. Signs are in the process of being erected notifying people of the ban. Please respect them as it will be strictly enforced. Advertising Signs The club are in the process of writing to businesses that don’t have an advertising sign in the club grounds. People are being asked to see if they would be interested in erecting a sign to advertise there business. The cost will be 150 a year rental charge which is only 3 a week. The first 150 would cover the cost of the sign and erecting it. This would allow up to three main colours on the sign and would be a standard 8 ft by 2 ft. Every year there after would be rental charge. Anyone who has an interest can contact Damien O’Brien on 0861988526. Fallen Trees Work has commenced on the clearing of the fallen trees which took place over a week ago. Two mature trees which fell into the gardens of homes in Seaview place have now been cleared. The rest of the trees along the boundary on the side of Seaview place have been deemed dangerous and a decision was made to get them knocked as soon as possible as high winds which we experienced lately could knock these trees. Unfortunately this hampers the grounds developments as the money was supposed to be used in tarmacing the driveway and parking area but health and safety is a priority and the experts have been called in to knock the rest of the trees. All-Weather Pitch The clubs all-weather pitch is available for hire at 25 per hour for five a side pitch or 50 for a full pitch. The man to contact is Jamie on 086-3461540.

HISTORIC CEREMONY AS PRIVATE RICHIE ’NOBBY’ HICKEY STANDS DOWN. By Christy Parker Over 36 years of joy and friendship in uniform will formally end in Kilworth camp next Thursday night when Richie ’Nobby’ Hickey, retired Infantryman, 23rd Battalion, C Company FCA, is afforded a stand down parade. Tears will be shed as former comrades, friends and family watch the Youghal man pass through the ranks. The 60 year-old from Blackwater Heights feels "very proud", at the imminent accolade which is unprecedented for a private soldier. In November 1971 Richie’s fellow Youghal Carpets weaver and FCA Corporal, Michael Carey, digged him in the ribs and ’invited’ him to join F rsa Cosanta `itiœil. Though his grandfather had fought two world wars and his younger brother Patrick had commenced 33 years army service, Richie’s bloodline was traditionally seafaring and lifeboat of which he was already a crewman. Still, he embraced the army style. "It was all about weapon handling and drill," he recalls, "and we had great times with it!" He remembers "up to 40 Youghal men piling into trucks outside the Nook" for training in the 1970’s. They would include legendary names like Blackeye and Siddy Daly, Chalkie Murphy, Liam Plante and Paddy ’Waxer’ Daly. Such life-loving recruits would entice anyone into a truck! "Waxer was our Sergeant Major and figurehead. He was inspiring," he recalls. "Major Paddy Power was another great stalwart". The FCA entailed Thursday night drill at the coastguard HQ, weekends away and annual summer camps. Payment was "about IR£11 per month plus 5/- child allowance per child". In latter years, two of Richie’s four children Cork Minor hurling star Stuart and daughter Deborah joined him, in what seems to have been a unique attempt to form a Hickey battalion. Or maybe a military coup. Summer camp was Disneyland and the Curragh rolled into one as up to 400 happy soldiers invaded somewhere for two weeks. "Brilliant", recalls Private Hickey who, like all privates up to the 1990’s, handled a relatively simple 303 rifle while striving for three-star status via managing a Bren (machine) gun without bringing down passing tractors. (Nowadays everyone starts with a 90%-plastic Austrian Styer automatic). You had to fire your weapons at camp. You also had to undergo grenade practice. "The biggest fright I ever got was when a lad nearby panicked after pulling the pin", Richie recalls, still shuddering. "He threw it against a wall and it bounced back. We ran like hell! It demolished the training pit." Richie largely spent his service in the catering division. During the recessionary 70’s and 80’s, an FCA menu was often a choice of stew or no stew. Hygiene bowed to practicality where "you might wipe your plate with a fist of grass and hand it on." His duties saw him serve lunch to several Irish Presidents, including O’Dalaigh

and Childers. Presumably he didn’t spare the grass beforehand. He also once handed Mary Robinson a cup of tea. She probably didn’t trust the plates. By his own admission, Richie often reinforced his reputation with an uncanny ability to provide peers and hierarchy with ’unadvertised but appropriate liquid nourishment’’ in say, very cold weather. His greatest disappointment was being unable to participate in the 1916 centenary celebrations when administrative errors left him without a weapon with which to march in Dublin. ’I was confined to a bus and wasn’t even allowed to watch it!", he complains. Otherwise happy, his career also spanned sporadic periods of fulltime service, totalling nine years. As the Middle East tragedy spiralled, the army sought to replace troops dispatched overseas on peace keeping, with FCA personnel. Richie considered a scheme whereby he could join the army and bring his FCA time with him. Instead he took a job at Blackwater Cottons, which closed within five years. Despite its levity, duties were always taken seriously and the job done well. "You especially don’t mess around with live ammunition," Richie reminds. Serious duties involved guarding power stations during the Northern troubles and regularly assisted in missing person searches, including the Robert Houlihan case. He never considered applying for promotion. "Never bothered; I was happy", he shrugs. Neither did he ever see a comrade "lift an angry hand to another." Therein lies a salutary lesson. "We learnt respect for others and for ourselves", he states. "I’d recommend it to any youngster today". Nonetheless his experiences qualified him for compensation under army deafness claims. "I was classed H4, which is high. I wouldn’t be allowed near heavy artillery now. We had to remove cotton wool from our ears during range practice because we couldn’t hear orders," he reveals. The 23rd Infantry is now part of 34th Infantry A Company as the FCA has evolved into a re-structured ’Reservist’ force, almost subsumed into the regular army. "It’s a bit harder now," concedes Richie. "They train almost on par with the regular army. I believe reservists will soon serve overseas. If I was younger !" As he awaits Thursday’s final march Private Nobby, now caretaker at Gaelscoil Chorain, looks enviously fit and healthy. He thanks Commandant Cyril Sage for facilitating the ceremony and also "my former Quarter Master Brendan Barry but especially my wife Mary and my family for their support throughout". He also thanks his lucky stars he escaped that grenade!

Tenders Opened for St Mary s College Enterprise Centre

Youghal Art Group Exhibition

By Michael Twomey TENDERS were opened at the special meeting of Youghal Town Council last Monday evening for the building of the Enterprise Centre of St. Mary’s College. The Council acquired the building recently and they now plan to furnish the building with office space. The tenders (including vat) were as follows: O’Gorman Construction, Clonmel 718,415.49 T. McCarthy Building Ltd., Dungarvan 615,336.39 J & W Leahy Bros., Midleton 709,430.89 L.F.M. Construction, Youghal 597,711.57 Terra Nua Bulidinng Contractors, Dungarvan 772,854.00 It is envisaged that the contractor will be chosen this week. There will be a three month building period starting next month.

Cois Abhann Garden Upgrade IN January 2007, Cairde Cois Abhann (the fundraising committee) decided to focus fundraising activities for this year on upgrading a garden at the centre. According to Gertrude Jekyll, a garden designer in the early 20th century, a garden should be ’a place of quiet beauty such as will give delight to the eye and repose and refreshment to the mind’. It is hoped to achieve this with the new garden. The existing courtyard garden area of Cois Abhann needs to be redesigned to make it more user friendly for the residents. The redeveloped garden will include elements to enhance the senses of sound, smell, sight, touch and taste. The paths and seating areas will be adapted to better meet the requirements of residents who require mobility aids to walk around. The new design will also incorporate a gardening activity area for residents who wish to be involved in growing their own plants. A big thank you to Sammy Revins for organising the fundraising walk on May 13th last, to those who braved the weather to take part and to all who supported the event in any way. Your contribution is much appreciated. The 3,700 raised has been added to the garden fund. A date for your diary - the second annual walk for Cois Abhann will be on Sunday, May 11th 2008!

Artists from the Youghal Art Group preparing for their 13th Annual Art Expo. The artists will display their work at the Methodist Hall, Friar St. and the exhibition will open on Friday 3rd August to Sunday 12th

THE Youghal Art Group started in 1995, so this is our 13th Annual Exhibition. The first Exhibition was held in the Courthouse and was at that venue for many years until it was closed down for refurbishment. Since then we’ve used various venues and this year we return to the Methodist Church Hall. The exhibition will be on from Saturday 4th August to Sunday 12th August from 11.30am to 7.30pm. The official opening, this year by Paula Goulding from Riverdance, Jigs and Reels and our local Dancing Thru the Ages, is on Friday 3rd. The group meets on the 2nd Wednesday of every month at Coran House in Store Street. We sometimes have a speaker at these meetings. Occasionally we have one-day workshops or a series of masterclasses on Saturdays. We also go on outings to galleries in Cork and Waterford amongst other places. Sometimes we meet and paint together, indoor or outdoors, depending on the weather. At present we have 15 members. New members are always welcome. Contact names and phone numbers are: Marina - 024 93376 Vanessa - 024 25170 Kathleen - 024-98293 Gretta - 024-93319 Or contact any member of the group.

Mogeely Vintage Club Launch All-Ireland Event

Athlete Mark Kelly presents a cheque for 1,425 to Olive McGrath towards the Bukoba Hospital Roof Fund. Mark raised the money through sponsorship and by running in the recent Cork City Marathon and the London 10. Mark was delighted to help in the fundraising for this worthy cause. The hospital roof fund organised by Olive is on target and near completion. Well done Mark.
