Did you know that we have another celebrity living in our midst in Knocklyon? She is Mary Kennedy who is appear-ing quite a lot lately on our television screens, reading the news.

I called on her recently and was welcomed into the kitchen by her four delightful children, Eva, Tom, Eoin and Lucy. The two eldest, Eva and Tom had just returned f rom school. It was obviously 'snack time' and the children settled down at the table to enjoy various bowls of goodies. They were completely confident and business like. Lucy, 16 months, started to cry and Eva, 8, l i f ted her up and carried her to the door murmuring poli tely: " I ' l l take her out, she's making too much noise". I was impressed. When Mum arrived, the boys disappeared to the playroom. "They are good", I remarked. "Sometimes", she smiled. Definite-ly a happy house.

Mary Kennedy is a very attractive and elegant young woman. She is fr iendly, honest, talented, has a great sense of humour and is bubbling over wi th what I can only des-cribe as an overwhelming zest for life. A Dubliner, the eldest of five children, she was educated at Colaiste Bride Presentation Convent and afterwards at U.C.D. where she graduated in French and Irish. The Higher Diploma in Education came next and on completion of her studies, she spent a year in France teaching English at a university in Brittany.

A t university, Mary became interested in athletics. Always keen on sport, she took part in Inter Varsity sprints and relay races. Mini marathons came next and later in 1982, she was 12th woman home in the Dublin City Mara-thon, a feat which she accomplished in 3 hours 35 minutes, and an accomplishment of which she is very proud.

Life was going well for Mary. She loved her teaching job and even found t ime to gain the A L C M in Speech and Drama. Then one day she saw the advertisement in the newspaper. It was for Continuity Announcers wi th RTE. Naturally Mary answered the challenge and to her delight

got the job. " H o w on earth did you cope?" I asked. "Oh" , she replied " the Cont inui ty job was mostly at night, so I always taught at the same t ime" .

During the years that fol lowed, she met and married her husband, Ronan. As time passed, life in RTE became more hectic. She was involved in presenting many pro-grammes, perhaps one of the best remembered, an 11 part series on Education, geared mainly to 5th and 6th year students. Two years ago, she decided to take a career break but the final challenge came last year when she ans-wered another advertisement — this t ime for part time newsreaders. It was an open competi t ion and not surpris-ingly, Mary was accepted and put on the Reserve Panel of Newsreaders. The part t ime opt ion suits her well. "The children are in bed while I 'm away and although there are late nights, I 'm always there when they wake up in the morning. Occasionally there is a late night and a 6 a.m. start, but, she laughed, " the adrenalin always f lows".

Working in television is a fascinating job but is also di f f icul t . However, once you're hooked it becomes a way of life. Right f rom the planning stage when all the various departments are allocated slots in future broadcasting hours — t ime is of the essence. From then on it is up to most de-partments to adhere to the schedule.

The Newsroom is rather different. Every day is a race against time. New items f low in throughout the day and it is often necessary to change news bulletins almost as one goes on air. Newsreaders wri te their own copy but last minute changes add to the pressure. Newsreaders too, are expected to be well turned out, relaxed and more or less easy on the eye. But it is not just looking glamorous or in-telligent - it is very hard work. Only when the 'On A i r ' sig-nal comes on can you begin to relax. Countdown starts, the music begins, the minute hand touches the hour — and "you're on. The moment of t ruth has arrived.

" D o you have t ime for hobbies?" I wondered. "Wel l " , replied Mary, " I still run and go jogging for health sake. I love tennis and play it often. I like concerts too and going to the theatre and for meals wi th friends — oh and I love shopping and fashion". "Cbn't \/ou ever get t i red?" I asked. There was no hesitation. "When I 'm tired, I go out to the garden. I love gardening — I f ind it relaxing and therapeutic".

What an amazing woman! " I really love my w o r k " she admits, " I hope it wi l l continue for a long t ime to come." So do we, Mary. You grace our screens wi th charm and efficiency. We like having you and long may you stay!

Summer Brides COMMUNITY SCHOOL SITE, SCHOLARSTOWN ROAD

Two soccer pitches are available for use at Scholarstown Road dur-ing the current season. The stream that runs through the Department of Education lands has been diverted to maximise the area to be made available for a camogie pitch and the original route of the stream has been infilled and grassed down. Accordingly, the camogie pitch wil l not be available for play until September 1993.

Arrangements are being made to provide an access to the pitches at Scholarstown Road and to carry out minimal surface works to render car parking possible at this new entrance.

PROVISION OF ROADSIDE TREES - TEMPLEROAN

LANDSCAPING - SCHOLARSTOWN ROAD

The Roads Department report that there are no funds available in the current year's estimates to landscape the area of land at this location.

SITE ADJOINING THE RIDING STABLES AT KNOCKLYON ROAD

While the construction of the main motorway will not commence until late 1993, it is hoped to commence construction work on these two roads in the Spring of 1993.

Al l this supposes that the Motorway Order and C.P.O.s wil l not be challenged in the Courts.

Dublin County Council advise that: "The front portion of the site is required for the purpose of improving the Knocklyon Road and in this respect a Deed of Dedication has been sealed by the Council dedicating this land to the Council for road improvement purposes. The rear portion of the site is a conditioned open space in the Plan-ning Permission granted for the adjoining estate. The Council have now received a draft Deed of Dedication for these lands. The Co. Manager has arranged to have this documentation processed urgent-ly. As soon as the legal formalities have been completed the Coun-cil wil l be in a position to enter upon and t idy up the lands as requested.

I. to r.: Yvette O'Neill, Aoife Murtagh, Ruth Cahill and April Pounch with teacher Orla Gillan proudly displaying the

All Ireland Cup. It was a busy summer this year for twenty girls from Knocklyon. These girls, both past and present pupils of the school were picked to represent Dublin in the Leinster Final of the Community Games Choir Competition in Carlow at the end of July. To the choir's delight, Dublin was chosen to go forward to the National Choir Competition Finals in Mosney on August 31 st.

On the Monday morning and afternoon the choir had to take part in yet another heal and eventually were one of the six choirs chosen to sing in the "Grand Final" that night. It was a tense moment for all concerned when at the last the results were called out in reverse order. The delight was evident on each girl's face when it was announced that Dublin (Knocklyon) had won First Prize. Each girl received a gold medal and the choir a cup. It was in-deed a just reward for the girl's hard work and dedication - they had done it - they're the All Ireland Champions.

Other members of the choir who have gone on the Secondary Schools are Kate Martin, Joanne Kelly, Wendy Troy, Aoife O'Brien, Evelyn Burke, Leona Mulholland, Claire Louise Bligh, Lisa Walshe, Claire Shirley, Shamsa Duffy, Fiona Murphy, Catherine Bligh, Louise O'Brien, Aisling Murtagh, Susan Butterly, Claudine Morrin. Congratulations must go to all the girls and especially lo their teach-er Orla Gillan. Well done!

The Principal and all the Teachers would like to welcome a new member of staff, Yvonne Keating, who is teaching fourth class. We hope she enjoys working in Knocklyon.

Well done to all the children who donal'ed their pocket money lor the Somalia Appeal Fund. At the lime of printing, the total amount raised was £1,635.

We're all well settled back in school now. There were very few tears this year (except for the sobs heard from the Teachers' Staff room!). We say "Hello" to Triona Cooney, who is with us for the year from the Senior School, and to Siobhan O'Donoghue who is taking the place of Paula Callaghan. Tonyc Sweeney has defected to the Senior School for the year — we hope he gets plenty of wear from his new uniform. (By the way, he's the one with the beard!!)

Our contingent of 200 Junior Infants arrived on September 2nd -shining, smiling and eager to get going (home!). Many a sad-eyed parent was seen in Superquinn that morning. It is surprising how quickly the children have settled, you would think they had been here for years. Well done to all the parents for turning them out so well.

The top hall in the Junior School got a face l i f t The entire hall was dry lined and repainted during the summer break — we hope this is the end of our damp problems — no more mushrooms for Mr. Dalton's lunch!

We would like to remind you to be careful where you park, when dropping and collecting children to and from the school. Please don't park where the cones have been placed or we will be out with our clamps! (If at all possible, please park in the top yard.)

That's all the news for now, we will keep you up with the goings-on each month in the Newsletter.

L ITTLE, IT W I L L HELP A L O T " . V. Kenny (942092)

7{/e fauve a 'Dtetutis The summer as usual has passed all too quickly and the haunting melancholy and beauty of autumn is upon us. So yet again new beginnings, stock-taking, as we t ry to grip ourselves, our lives. We know the pain of aimless living, poss-ibly one of the greatest pains in life.

We need purpose and motivation. God is the ultimate here but as yet wi th our human vision we do not see him clearly, "through a glass dark ly" and "this tent of clay weighs down the teeming mind" .

Meanwhile there is a gap to be bridged, so what to do? If there is not order and purpose in our everyday lives, reach-ing God wil l be that much harder, "Grace builds on nature". God allows us the great dignity of free wil l , of making something of ourselves. He works through this and in his own good time brings the process of development to perfection.

All the time the vision of God must be in mind, develop-ing our natural selves alone wil l not sustain us. I once met a man — prominent in the political life of our country at the time — who thought he did not believe in God. As he seemed a decent enough guy, I asked him then, what was his motivation for living? He replied he got fulf i l lment f rom his work and his family. He was a happily married man.

I believed then and still believe that he was mistaken, that his lifestyle to a point was good but we are made for far greater things.

There is a deeper hunger wi thin us which must be God-made. He alone could give us the courage greater than our-selves, to dream beyond the stars.

And the hunger is for no less than this same God him-self: "You have made us for yourself, 0 Lord, and our hearts are restless, until they rest in you" .

Knocklyon Active Retirement Association A L L I R E L A N D H U R L E R S

Our annual outing this year took place to Avondale, County Wicklow, birthplace of Charles Stewart Parneli (the un-crowned King of Ireland). Approximately th i r ty of us left by bus f rom the Community Centre at 1.15 p.m. on Tues-day, 30th June and after a very enjoyable journey, arrived at our destination.- Unfortunately, as we were about to alight f rom the bus 'the rains came' but rain couldn't dampen our enthusiasm and soon we were treading the same boards that the famous Parneli and his ancestors had done so often before in days of yore.

Af ter a guided tour of the house, which still retains much of the original furnishings, we settled down comfort-ably to a very interesting and informative talk about the Parneli family which was accompanied by slides - one felt almost carried back to those 'golden days'.

Afterwards, we partook of a lovely afternoon tea, wi th home-baked pastries etc. which was served in the adjoining tearooms. We fol lowed this by a leisurely stroll around the beautiful gardens which were resplendant in their beauty and colour. Everyone was in a happy mood and one could almost sense and feel the ghosts of former days mingling in the atmosphere. The sun came out and bri l l iantly enhanced the scene and very reluctantly we had to bid Avondale 'adieu' as we headed to our next and final port of call which was the Glenview Hotel in Delgany, Co. Wicklow.

We were served wi th a lovely dinner there at 7 p.m. w i th specially printed menus. This was greatly enjoyed by one and all present. Great credit is due to our very able Chair-person, Lyla Kennedy, who did all the work involved in organising such a splendid day.

We arrived home at around 10 p.m. after enjoying a perfect day's outing that wi l l long be remembered by all the participants.

inclement weather and very stiff opposition on the track. With the great effort and determination shown by our athletes, success was soon to come, 11 out of 23 athletes made the finals, and 5 of the relay teams also made the finals.

Claire Butterly, Christopher Coffey, Brian O'Donoghue, Ruth Walsh all won gold. Karen Morgan won silver and Sean King bronze. Even those who were outside the medals did themselves proud and in some cases were most unlucky.

A special word of thanks to all those parents who came out and supported the athletes and also to the members of Bros. Pearse A.C. who trained and prepared them.

Tommy O'Raw, Athletics Manager,

Knocklyon Community Games.

Musical Gold! J3 We send warm congratulations to the Knocklyon Choir who scoop-ed the All Ireland Title this year on only its second appearance in Mosney. Once again, we commend Mrs Orla Gillan on her tireless dedication which earned the choir this well deserved success. (See photo page 4.)

Finally, the 1992 Knocklyon Community Games Committee would like to congratulate all the children who took part in the many sports at local, Leinster and All Ireland level.

We look forward to seeing you all next year . . . Our A.G.M. will be taking place in November and we would

like to see a large attendance representing all the different estates in the neighbourhood.

ALL IRELAND SUCCESS FOR B R O T H E R S P E A R S E A.C.

At the end of June a contingent f rom Bros. Pearse Athletic Club journeyed to Antr im in search of success at the N.A.C.A.I. Al l Ireland Athletic Championships — and found it! The ten athletes who competed won a total of eleven medals between them (2 gold, 3 silver and 6 bronze) and their achievements on behalf of the club and their parish should be applauded. The athletes who took part were:

MARY ELLEN HOLMES COOLAMBER SUSAN TYSON COOLAMBER STEPHEN BOURKE COOLAMBER EOIN CUMMINS LANSDOWNE DAVID FOX ORLAGH STEPHEN KIERNAN DELAFORD SEAN KING IDRONE PAUL MANLEY GLENDOHER BRIAN O'DONOGHUE WESTBOURNE JOE RAFFERTY ORLAGH These and all our athletes are now in training for the Cross Country Season which begins at the end of October. Training takes place at Cherryfield on Tuesday and Thursday nights at 7.00 p.m. and on Sunday mornings at 11.00 a.m. Newcomers welcome.

Local T.D.s and councillors please note that these results were achieved without any Government funding and despite the fact that the club officials are fighting a constant battle wi th the County Council to retain the small piece of field in Cherryfield for training. Think what could be achieved with a little help from "of f ic ia ldom!"

Yours in Sport, LARRY KIERNAN, Hon. Secretary

Golden Moments in Athletics

LIFE AFTER S C H O O L Over the coming months we hope to bring you a series of personal insights into particular career paths undertaken by various young people in the locality (for the benefit of many young adults at present contemplating their own car-eer choices). In this first of the series, Fiona Lynch, who is a final year student at St. Patrick's Teacher Training Coll-ege Drumcondra, tells us of her experiences there.

St. Patrick's College in Drum-condra isn't really comparable to the faceless institutions of many 3rd level colleges in the country. Unlike others, St. Pat's is a college where all the students get to know each other as there are only 300 enrolled there. Even the lecturers are often

on first name terms and this in itself is bound to be a help to those settling in. The fact that there are residences on campus also adds to the family-l ike atmosphere. However, it also means that as Dublin students we feel squarely in the minori ty.

A wide variety of academic subjects is offered, including English, Gaeilge, French, Maths, History, Geography and Music. There are few differences between the various faculties as ult imately everyone is aiming for the B.Ed, degree.

There is a great emphasis on Irish for entrance purposes but up unti l this year places have been awarded on the basis of an interview as well as Leaving Cert, results — but this is likely to change. Naturally, there are many new subjects to be tackled like Psychology, Sociology, Philosophy, Tech-nology and Religious Studies. St. Pat's is often host to students f rom France, Spain and the U.S. — giving a cosmo-politan air to the campus.

The social scene in the college revolves around the many clubs and societies — whether sporting or otherwise. How-ever, in stark contrast to our neighbours in DCU, we have no bar, thus we rely heavily on the local hostelries of Quinn's and Fagan's in Drumcondra.

As girls greatly outnumber the boys in St. Pat's, we also rely heavily on an influx of male company from other colleges such as DCU and Bolton St., especially on oc-casions such as the Thursday night disco!

Thanks to the generosity of school principals and staff around the country (St. Colmcille's notwithstanding) we also undertake teaching practice twice yearly, where we can put the theory we have learned into practice — wi th varying results.

St. Pat's is somewhat special as a third level college, however, if the proposed amalgamation wi th DCU goes ahead then the unique character of this college as we know it may be lost forever.

KNOCKLYON FAITH DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME Following the directed retreat last February and the Parish Mission in June, several people asked if some kind of Faith Development Programme could be arranged here in Knock-lyon this autumn.

It was very evident f rom the House Meetings during the Mission that many of you would welcome further oppor-tunities to talk about and learn more about your faith.

Therefore, a series of six talks has been arranged and wi l l take place on Thursday nights at 8 p.m., commencing 1st October. Details of the themes, speakers, etc. are listed below.

A Booking Form is included in the Red Brochure avail-able at the back of the Church or f rom the Presbytery. You are encouraged to take one of these and if you are interest-ed in participating in this programme, please return the Ap-plication Form to the Presbytery as soon as possible. We re-gret that in order to cover expenses, a fee of £10 per person (or £15 per family) is requested. The Programme is open also to young adults. The exact venue wi l l be decided upon when numbers are confirmed.

My Mother's Hands They were work ing hands, unused t o revelling in creams, coarse and calloused here and there, w i t h t ight-c l ipped nails tha t never knew the g lamour- touch of varnish. Instead, around the cuticles, French Polish stains that no amount of scrubbing could erase.

A n d yet they had the gentlest touch , de f t w i t h paintbrush as w i t h shammy, removing splinters, bathing cuts, creative making shadow pictures on m y bedt ime wal l .

They were di l igent in soapsuds, c lumsy w i t h a needle they prodded on th rough years o f hems and but tons. I was guided by thei r strength and never fe l t the i r anger.

BALLYBODEN G.A.A. AND CAMOGIE CLUB

KNOCKLYON FOOTBALL CLUB The long, h o t summer (???) has come to a close, b ronzed bodies are beginning t o recapture thei r Irish co lou r , the memor ies of the sun, sea and moun ta ins are n o w fading. The highl ights o f the spor t ing achievements o f o u r O l y m p i c heroes are n o w lodged in our minds forever, and the D u b l i n foo tba l l team are back on top . The schools have re-opened, u n i f o r m s are o u t , schoolbags are packed, shoes are shined and pbove all the K n o c k l y o n Un i ted Roadshow swings back i n t o act ion.

Once again f e l l o w residents, the sound o f hoo t i ng horns, the j o y , the tears, the wins, the losses, are all upon us. As we embark on a new season, the quest ion is, can we main-ta in our standard o f success b o t h on and o f f the f ie ld o f play? Last season we w o n 5 c o m p e t i t i o n s and were runners-up in 8 — the most successful c lub once again in the South D u b l i n Boy 's League. We in the c lub have no d o u b t t ha t we are going to bu i l d on our previous experiences, and con t in -ue to br ing many more honours t o the c lub and t o Knock -l yon in the coming season. The c lub has expanded once again, we are n o w f ie ld ing 2 0 teams and are cater ing f o r 4 0 0 boys (approx . ) f r o m the ages o f 7 to 19. Five years ago, the c lub had o n l y 3 teams, b u t w i t h the hard w o r k o f commi t tees , managers, players and parents w e are n o w one of the largest schoo lboy clubs in Ireland. Our past achieve-ments are someth ing we are p r o u d o f , and o u r f u t u r e plans and object ives should see us becoming a major force in Schoo lboy Soccer.

We we lcome back all our players and managers and thank our new managers f o r j o in ing us, and wish them and our players every success f o r the c o m i n g season. We n o w have 46 managers dedicated to the f u t u r e deve lopment o f the boys and the c lub and w i t h o u t w h o m we cou ld n o t succeed in our goals. The execut ive c o m m i t t e e f o r 1992/ -93 is as fo l lows :

• A C K N O W L E D G E M E N T • Anne and Mary wish to thank all their neighbours and friends who supported in any way their recent coffee morning at 52 Orlagh Park in aid of Somalia. A sum of £656.43 was riased and has been lodged to Community Health International for Somalia.

In articles in this Newsletter before the Summer holidays you may remember that we wrote about the Feile na nGael All Ireland Com-peti t ion for Club u .14 hurling teams. We said that we expected to win it and that is exactly what happened. At the final in Loughrea on 28 th June last, Ballyboden/St . Enda 's forged ahead in extra t ime to take the Feile t rophy to Dublin for the first time.

Each one of those young Ballyboden/St. Enda 's hurlers has every right to walk tall and enjoy the admirat ion of the rest of us but in the background there are many others whose contr ibut ions to the preparation of those young lads were vital.

Parents and teachers played a very important part. The team manager was John Kirwan who was assisted by Tom Durkin and Daithi Scollard. Others who helped are Fintan Walsh, Tom O'Rior-dan, Paddy Corrigan, Tom Phillips, P.J. Donogue, Malachy Bucker-idge and Donal Collins.

The young hurlers are: Michael Phelan (Captain), David Bucker-idge, Kieran O'Neill, Colin Durkin, Paul Donohue, Martin Kenny, Derek Foley, Gerard Mullins, Finbarr Kiely, Ruairi Costello, Dar-ragh Spain, Joseph Byrne, John Butler, Christian Connolly, Aidan Reilly, Emmet Carroll, Stephen Coughlan, Declan Maguire, Conor Davey and Colin Kelly. (See pho to page 6.)

The effor t , hard work and back-up necessary for this great achievement was made by a team that is much larger than the actual panel of twenty stars who played on the field and won the glory.

It would be wrong to give the impression that this is the only successful team at Juvenile Level in the club. We have others such as the Under 15 hurlers who will meet St. Vincent 's in the Final of the Dublin Co. Championship on September 27th next . We ex-pect to win that too. There are other such as the u .15 footballers and the u .16 hurlers.

Neither would we wan t to allow anyone to believe that we are interested only in the high profile A teams. The Club has just as deep a commitment and provides the same back-up to the weakest B team.

These achievements are wonder fu l successes to talk about and to savour, but they are last year's highlights and we cannot rest on our laurels. We have to look to the new season just now beginning to pave the way for fu tu re successes.

We have vacancies in some teams and at the pre-competi t ion stage — under 9 years of age. Any boys or girls anxious to play Hurling, Gaelic Footbal l or Camogie should call to the club on the Firhouse Road any Saturday morning around 11.00 a.m. and talk to Tony or Shay Lennon who will be glad to help.

Contact may also be made through any member or by ringing Club Secretary Sean Flynn at 932920 or Chairman of the Juvenile committee, Paddy Walsh at 942795.

We are always in need of adults who are interested in helping out wi th teams. No previous experience is necessary, you will get plenty of on the job training. Think about it!
