Gillian Cunningham put us on the score board witha point. Mary O Connor was on target with a long range free andNoelle O Donovan crossed a lovely ball for Angela Walsh to finishin the net! Eire Og scored a point from a free and Kate Murphy fol-lowed suit with a score from a free also. Again Gillian and Angelascored a point each to leave the half time score 1-5 to 1-2 in ourfavour.Eire Og opened the scoring in the second half again with a pointfrom a free. A foul on Jessica O Shea resulted in Kate scoring apoint.The game was fast and furious and while we had plenty pos-session of the ball it was Eire Og who got the next goal and point.The pressure was definitely on but our girls rose to the challenge,continuing to battle and points from Mary, Jessica and RoisinCulligan put us back in the picture. The last score of the match wasa point from a 45 by Eire Og but this didn’t alter the outcome.Victory was ours - a mere point was sufficient to pave our way tothe League Final. The final score was 1-9 to 2-5. We play the winner of Clonakilty v Glen Rovers in the LeagueFinal.Congratulations to trainer Kevin O Connor and his wife Winnie onthe birth of baby Kate (another camogie player????).Well one to all our girls who did so well in their Junior Cert Resultsduring the week. Good wishes to our Leaving Certs who head offon their chosen career path in the coming week(s).Our U16's had the second round of the Championship v Ballincolligat Aghavine (thanks to Fr O Neill's for the use of their superb facil-ities)on 18th Sept. It proved to be a very tough challenging match -definitely a game of 2 halves! Ballincollig notched up 2-2 by halfwhile we faled to score. However the second half saw the girls inmuch better form and we managed to hold Ballincollig scorelesswhile we had good scores from Ciara Daly and Laura Tracey. Tryas they might our girls weren't able to claw back the advantageBallincollig accrued in the first half leaving us 3 points short at thefinal whistle! While this may be the end of our Champoinshiphopes for this year we are still in the League.

Spring Flowering Bulbsby Fiona Nolan

Bulbs are a wonderful way to start the season with a burst ofcolour after a long cold winter. Nothing can compare with to firstsign of snowdrops to signal spring is on the way. However for memy own personal favourites are as follows. Alliums, like tennisballs on stems is how I can best describe these ornamental onionswhich are loved by garden designers and are a Chelsea gardenstalwart.Try Allium 'Purple sensation- for striking purple flowers perfectfor sunny borders, prairie style plains or in pots. Fantastic pairedwith tulips of any colour, zesty limey green euphorbia polycromaor threaded through grasses and box balls to mirror their shape.Allium shubertii- a real stunner with heads 1ft wide which resem-ble the starburst of a firework. Allium christophii -large metallicpurple heads 20cm wide which make fantastic cut flowers pairwith stachys (lambs ear) at the front of a border.Trout Lilies (erythronium) - their lily like flowers hover abovegreen & purple mottled ground hugging foliage and are fantasticspecimens for naturalising in shady areas. Fritilliria meleagris oras they are more commonly known 'Snakes head lily' due to theirchequerboard markings on their delicate looking heads looks won-derful swaying in the breeze.Leucojom aestivum (Summer Snowflake) summer snowflakelooks like dainty white bells with green dots 'Gravetye Giant'isone to try it was introduced by William Robinson the influential19th century Irish garden writer it naturalises easily into a grace-ful meadowland look. This is only a small selection of what wehave in store try also muscari 'Grape hyacinths' for intense colourwhich look great paired with narcissi.How to plant Bulbs: As rule plant large bulbs three times theirdepth, smaller bulbs twice their depth .If soil is heavy plant a lit-tle higher and add some grit for drainage .Bone meal or poultrymanure can also be added under the bulb when planting.Remember to keep a watchful eye on slugs near alliums , but fornow plant sit back and enjoy the explosion of colour when yourbulbs appear !!

By Christy ParkerFans of 'the Man in Black' will walk the line towards the Mall ArtsCentre on Friday October 8th when American country singer JohnSchmid performs a "Tribute to Johnny Cash," (from his album ofthe same name), concert in aid of Youghal Community Hospitaland the Keith Phelan fund. The concert marks the American's return to a venue he last gracedalmost two years ago to the day. For those unimpressed by JohnnyCash (every community has its eccentrics) John Schmid seems aninteresting kind of guy to share a room with anyway. He is thefounder and director of Common Ground Ministries, a "singingministry" based in Ohio, with a focus on prisons and the OhioCorrections System. In a calling that would impress the late, SanQuintin-phobe, Mr. Cash himself, he ministry provides free Bibleteaching and correspondence courses to prisoners in the Ohio sys-tem. John visits over 50 prisons annually, plus variouschurches,boot camps, banquets, embassies, schools, street fairs, seminars,concerts and "a fair amount of living rooms," as he cheerfully tes-tifies. The rest of the time he tours overseas, lest he get bored andfall asleep on the couch one supposes.Don't even ask…It is worth recalling an observation connected with his last visit tothese shores, when it was noted that a cardinal rule of prison min-istry is never askan inmate what he did to deserve prison. Once, in19 years,John Schmid did so. Later he watched aghast from thestage as the inmate sang, prayed and laughed in the audience.John, unfortunately, now knew the awfulness of the man's crimesand spent the evening "wanting to beat the daylights out of him."While the incident reminded him that, "sin kills and causes suffer-ing," he had also "got a glimpse of the awesomepower of theGospel. But asking why a man is in prisondoesn't't help at all," heconcludes ruefully.The minister might well have become, if not another 'Man inBlack' at least an original 'Guy in Grey' had God not disrupted hisconcentration. He was singing in a C & W band in 1972 when hebecame converted, hence discovering that Nashville wasn't thereal heaven after all and set upon the road that would see him playguitar for God. Physically, John Schmid's stature resembles that ofJohnny Cash, though his voice carries fewer pebbles, one mightopinion. His singing style forms the blend of country/folk/gospelthat once begat rock 'n' roll and his performances are sprinkledwith stories and soft humour, while much flavoured with theBiblical message. The economic maelstrom means the Youghal Community Hospitalneeds financial assistance as never before, while the Keith Phelanfund brings a cause to more recent public attention. Keith, 11anda pupil at Bun ScoilMhuire,suffered a bi-lateral Grade 4Haemorrhage in premature birth, culminating in his being quadri-plegic, epileptic and suffering Cerebral Palsy. His family hope toraise enough money to bring Keith to the XCell-Center inDusseldorf, Germany, where stem cell treatment may improve hiscondition and prospects. (See story on http://www.youghalon-line.com/2010/09/21/keith-phelan-appeal-by-michael-twomey/ ) Tickets for John Schmid's 'A Tribute to Johnny Cash,' are availablefrom Cree's Card Shop, @ €10/€5 (concessions).

AIL League Youghal-8 V Galbally-5Youghal ladies took to their home pitch of Frogmore for the firstgame of the AIL league. Weather conditions proving perfect bothsides set off with a running game plan. However, early seasonerrors stalled the continuity for both teams and scrums becameconstant. Outstanding performances for Youghals pack who did-n't give the much larger Galbally side any leeway. Youghals con-stant defence remained untainted even with powerhouse runsfrom the sturdy Galbally forwards. The sea-siders held offnumerous attacks one try being held up. Score remained 0-0 tillhalf time. Motivation speeches must have been rife for the Youghal ladies asthey came out with a new lease of life. Youghal backs kept theopponents confused with kicks from grubbers and Garryowensand a sterling performance from Kate Sheehan on her debutdefensively. Youghal remained patient prior to their five pointerwith a multitude of attempts being withstood by Galbally. LeahDorian powered through with sheer determination to giveYoughal their much deserved lead and on her first league outingwas faultless, definitely one to note in the future. The conversionattempt falling short meant everything was left to play for.Galbally continued to attack with their forwards and Youghalfought fiercely but couldn't hold them off, with a missed conver-sion this left everything even Stephens. After some great phasesof play the newly energized Youghal side edged closer to theGalbally try lineand lucky for the home side their opponents werepenalised leaving Kellie Faul free to slot over the three pointerbringing the score-line to Youghal-8 Galbally-5. Some greatdefensive play from the backline in the dying moments off thegame holding off Galballys late attack. Not the most attractive ofgames but it gives Youghal a basis for improvement and looks tobe an exciting season. Team: K. Faul, J. Arnott, J. Ryan, K. O'Mahoney, U. Fitzgerald,D. Fitzgerald, L.

Youghal totalled 279 point in Category E (pop 5-10,000), showing a remarkable seven-point improvement fromlast year. Near neighbours Dungarvan topped the group with 287points, followed by Trim and Dalkey. Youghal's improvement followed extra emphasis on wildlife, nat-ural amenity sites and landscaping this year, according to Mr.Brennan. New, stainless steel flower pots on the Lighthouse Hillbrought favourable remarks, as did the boat installation on theKilleagh road entrance to the. The upbeat analysis also includes atown centre enhanced by the shop front painting scheme. However derelict sites continue to inflict major damage onYoughal'sTidy Towns aspirations. "The old Indian Point site oppo-site Lidl's and the area around Allin's Quay are particularly bad,"says Mr. Brennan. "We could see major progress if dereliction waseradicated or greatly reduced." The approach roads to the town are further liabilities but respon-sibility here lies with Cork County Council. The county authori-ty scarcely cut a blade of grass on town perimeters and repeatedletters from Mr. Brennan's committee elicit the stock response of"scarce resources." On the other hand, undertaking the work one-self would contradict union labour policy. On a more local level,"general litter management remained unchanged since 2009 andpersonal behaviour could help address that," agrees Mr. Brennan..The positive returns means the chairman has reversed his decisionto resign after nine years in the seat. "I had become s bit disillu-sioned but this has given me fresh hope," he says. Funding for thegroup remains largely reliant on the annual summer flag day,alongside a town council grant. "We've also got two FAS workersthis year which very much helps us to maintain a strong workeffort," informs the former town clerk. The chairman now sets his sights on reaching towards the topmarks of 308 points that would guarantee Youghal gold status. "Ifwe could improve by seven points every year, it wouldn't be longbefore we'd become a national winner," he muses. Certainly thehopes and dreams of Youghal's Tidy Town's committee are farfrom derelict.

By Michael TwomeyWhen Chris Moloney took to the stage with his guitar at Youghal’sHot Spot Youth Café recently during the launch the café's music clubCD ‘Roots’, his voice was full of emotion and pride. The applausehe received cannot be valued, applause can be priceless for kids whohave worked to achieve personal goals. Chris was one of many whoentertained a packed house; it was an evening that bucked the trendof bad press that the youth often receive from the established media.The ‘Roots’ album is a product of the Thursday evening music ses-sions held at the Youth Café, overseen by Bobby Lee with the assis-tance of Steve Whelan. The music club has been running for almosttwo years, taking in kids from 12 to 18 who wish to learn or devel-op musical skills. The music room at the Hot Sot was furnished withequipment by the Irish Recorded Music Association (IRMA) and isfacilitated by the national youth organisation Foróige. Another tal-ented singer, Darragh Lee said the club had humble beginnings butquickly progressed. “It started with just a couple of us coming down.We got the equipment and it has really grown. Now we have thealbum after recording it at Claycastle Studios.” A remarkable aspectto the CD launch, other than the talent on show, was the amount ofvolunteers and supporters at the event. Local politicians (BarbaraMurray, Michael Beecher) sat with kids who mingled with business-es and patrons such as Barry Treacy of Youghal Credit Union as wellas mixing with youth workers, musicians and record producers(Warren Tivy, John Burke Claycastle Studios). Fine Gael T.D. DavidStanton heaped praise on everyone involved and expressed a gen-uinely felt optimism for the future of the youth and warmth for thecafé. “There is fantastic energy, fun and good humour here. It's soencouraging to see everyone supporting each other. I've traveled allover and this is one of the nicest youth centres in the whole country.It's not just the facilities of the building but the people in it, keepsmiling and feeling good about yourself because right now we needmore of that,” he said. The album 'Roots' boasts 19 tracks featuring30 musicians; 13 original songs were recorded, complimented by 6cover versions. Bobby Lee said the album was the result of a desireon behalf of himself and the artists to 'write and record' and 'to havesomething to look back on for all the hard work'. By the time JakeKalilec drew the attention of the crowd with a rasping rendition ofhis song 'We're Supposed To Be Friends' it was evident that some-thing more than that was happening. It was clear, given the rightenvironment and encouragement, talent will find a way. 'Roots' thealbum is on sale at Scotts Music Shop 137 North Main St. Youghal,Cree's Card Shop, Youghal, Pro-Musica 20 Oliver Plunkett St. Cork,and at www.sacred-root.com.

Report of the Town Clerk on Matters Arising from theMonthly Meeting of Youghal Town Council held on 13th July2010.The most important issue facing Town Councils for decades willcentre around the recent publication of the Report of LocalGovernment Efficiency Review Group which is to be discussed byGovernment this Autumn. Here is a summary of some of the pro-posed changes.Town & County:In terms of town and county co-operation, a number of factorssuggest the need to re-assess the planning, roads and housingresponsibilities of town councils. The Group noted that while mosttown councils retain statutory responsibility for planning func-tions, in practice the bulk of town councils rely heavily on thecounty councils to carry out planning work on their behalf. In thisregard the statutory responsibility of town councils for planningmatters carries with it an administrative overhead and a duplica-tion of effort that should be streamlined. In terms of roads, the Group considers that all county councilsshould be allocated an urban grant for local urban roads for spend-ing in all town areas (regardless of whether the urban area hastown council status or not). The shift in policy towards sourcing agreater proportion of social housing supply through leasing fromthe private sector also provides an opportunity to achieve efficien-cies through the consolidation of the housing function at countylevel, with allowance for the delegation of certain responsibilitiesto the town level. Consequently the Group is recommending that the planning, roadsand housing function of town councils should be transferred totheir respective county council. The Group is also recommendingthat the rating function should be removed from town councils,and that town charges be applied in the same manner as is the caseon the non-rating town councils. These recommendations will ulti-mately be dependent on policy on the sub-county level arisingfrom the White Paper on Local Government. It will be importantin this context that policy and organisational change be imple-mented before the next scheduled local elections in 2014. Dissolution of Other Local Bodies:A series of other bodies, including joint drainage boards and jointburial boards should be dissolved, with their functions transferredto local authorities or a 'lead' local authority, resulting in savingsin administrative overheads. Financial Supports for Elected Members:While the Group did not have a mandate to consider the numberof local councils, or the number of local elected members, it is rec-ommending that the financial supports to local elected representa-tives which have recently been reduced, are kept under review toensure they remain reasonable and proportionate. Housing Functions of Town Councils:The reorientation of housing policy away from traditional con-struction and acquisition of housing to greater sourcing of supplyform long-term leasing implies a need for different skills setswithin housing sections of local authorities - for example with agreater focus on active estate and property management and ten-ant liaison. This implies the need for some redeployment of staff.As noted above, the Group is also recommending that the housing-related functions of town councils be transferred to their respec-tive county council, but that individual county councils coulddecide to delegate certain aspects of the housing function to townlevel where this makes sense from the point of view to efficiency. Roads:Tolling Schemes:The Group recommends the introduction of new tolling schemeson national roads (both new and existing) based on an equitabledistribution of tolling points across the national roads network.Such a move would be consistent with Government policy on pro-moting a more efficient and environmentally-friendly use of thenational road network and incentivising road users to move toother transport options, including public transport. A dedicated

proportion of the revenue raised should be used for investment inlocal and regional roads. Consolidating Water Functions: A regional approach to monitoring, authorisation, inspection andsampling functions should be adopted. This includes building thecurrent approach of aligning inspections under the NitratesDirectives with the work of the Department of Agriculture,Fisheries and Food. To implement Government policy on watercharges, one solution may be to establish a dedicated agency formetering and regulation of prices. Planning Fees:Current planning fees represent a fraction of the actual cost of pro-cessing planning applications, and are very much lower in Irelandthan neighbouring countries. The Group recommends moving tofull cost recovery on a phased basis over a 5-year period, startingwith 50% cost recovery in the first year, and 75% after 3 years. Joint Administrative Areas:The group recommends that as soon as may be the followingcounty and city council areas be paired as 'joint administrativeareas' to facilitate greater economies of scale in the provision oflocal services: Carlow and Kilkenny; Cavan and Monaghan;Galway City and County; Laois and Offaly; Leitrim and Sligo;Longford and Westmeath; Mayo and Roscommon; NorthTipperary and South Tipperary; Waterford City and County. These pairings were determined using a number of criteria, includ-ing population base, geographical factors, and the fact that a sin-gle manager served many of these paired areas in the past. Thelocal government arrangements in Limerick City and County arecurrently under review by the Limerick Local GovernmentCommittee. Nevertheless, the Group is persuaded that there is alsoa case, at a minimum, for joint administration in respect ofLimerick city and county. Organisational Recommendations:Administration:1. Ten joint administrative areas across 20 county and city councilarea should be established to pool corporate functions and otherservice areas, with each joint administrative area under the respon-sibility of a single manager (short, medium and long-term);2. Responsibility for planning, roads and housing functionsshould be transferred from town councils to county councils(medium term).;3. County councils should be allowed delegate some local aspectsof housing service provision to towns where this is economicallyefficient (medium-term);4. The power to determine the annual rate on valuation should beremoved from town councils, and town charges be applied in thesame manner as other existing non-rating town councils (medium-term);5. Each county council should be allocated an urban grant forlocal urban roads, with the county council determining the urbanroad spend arcoss all towns in its administrative area (medium-term);6. County council offices/area offices and town council officesshould be co-located (ongoing);7. Joint drainage boards, joint burial boards and other bodiesshould be dissolved, and their functions transferred to localauthorities or a 'lead' local authority (short to medium-term). Votes of congratulations:Mayor Cllr Linehan Foley congratulated the Youghal camogieclub on winning the county title. She said they club would be hon-oured through the council's new twice-yearly awards ceremoniesto honour those credited with "outstanding achievements" by thecouncil. The first ceremony will be held in December. The mayorfurther congratulated Patsy O' Mahoney on his heroic river rescueduring the summer and also the Triathlon committee for theirrecent successful event. She further paid tribute to the Tidy Towncommittee and the council staff on the bronze medal (Category E-5,000 to 10.000 pop.) acquired in in this year's competition. Cllr Michael Beecher congratulated Youghal Soccer Club on offi-

bronze medal (Category E -5,000 to 10.000 pop.) acquired in inthis year's competition. Cllr Michael Beecher congratulated Youghal Soccer Club on offi-cially acquiring the world record for a continuous five-a-sidegame. "And the fine weather," he proceeded mysteriously, posingthe possibility that God may be honoured at December's awardceremony. Cllr Barbara Murray praised the Medieval Festival organisers andthe Heritage committee for their various achievements, includingthe current initiative to host approximately 170 WIT studentsacross 12 months and the economic benefits that brings. Town Foreman's Report: Cllr Sammy Revins said the 'temporary dressing' on theKnockaverry Road needs renewing after 29 years! Town clerkLiam Ryan said there was no money in the 2010 budget and thecouncillor would need to bring it to the 2011 budget meeting inconjunction with the 2011 Local Roads Grant. Cllr Revins askedthat the engineer add it to his priorities list nonetheless. Cllr Liam Burke sought a progress report on the Youghal RetailStrategy. Town Manager Patricia Power was absent but Mr. Ryansaid she would have a report for October's meeting. The council-lor complained of a number of large potholes in theMcCurtainstown car park before asking that CIE be contactedover the "dreadful" state of their site at the adjacent old railway. Cllr Murray asked that weeds be removed from various vergesthroughout the town and wanted a 'dangerous bend' sign near theStrand Church be either replaced or cleaned of moss.Cllr Eoin Coyne wanted a wall opposite the pipe band headquar-ters at Cork Hill repaired, feeling "a kick could collapse it." Thecouncillor asked who was responsible for maintaining the bushesaround Lidl and was told they were the supermarket's responsibil-ity if contained within. Cllr Beecher offered compliments on the newly-painted Clancy'sproperty but expressed disquiet over the state of front strand toi-lets. He too criticised CIE's, railway site as "a disgrace." He saidthe company was "getting letters and laughing at us." The council-lor said household rubbish was still being dumped in public binsovernight and concluded by noting that the sign on the island nearYoughal Shipping had been half knocked. Cllr Michelle Hennessy was concerned over a grid that was facingthe wrong way at the bottom of the Spa hill. She also said the siteof the proposed new library on North Main Street, "whose namewe can't mention" (approximate to the Chinese restaurants) was invery poor condition and asked the town clerk to request CorkCounty Council "clean up their premises."Cllr Sandra McLellan sought a remedy to overhanging trees onWindmill Hill, while a tree opposite the council HQ itself alsoneeded trimming. She believed the road needed re-surfacing atAllin's Quay and wanted an update on a wall at Ashe Street thathad been the subject of a 'dangerous structure' notice. She alsodrew attention to two issues at Belmont Terrace in the strand, -adisabled parking space and wall in danger of collapsing. Townengineer Paul Murray agreed to confer with her on it later. Mayor Foley said Green Hole was "alive with seaweed," with thesmell "wafting" and asked it be pushed out to sea "or somewhere."County Council Items:A report by the town engineer, Paul Murray addressed issuesraised at July's meeting. He said a 'dangerous structure' notice hadbeen issued to the owner of the rifle range at Claycastle, who thencarried out work in compliance. Issues regarding the Youghallandfill and waste collection service were being addressed byCork County's Environment department. Additionally, the countycouncil had sold its waste collection service to Country CleanRecycling Limited. It was proposed to conduct road and otherrepairs at Ballyclamsey shortly. A plan to undertake a road over-lay on North Main Street had been deferred pending approval of afunding application for similar work from Windmill Hill to CorkHill instead. Following discussion with Atkin's Consultants, thevalve at the outfall in the front strand would be changed for a dif-

ferent model in October. Proposals for landscape/road safety workat Quarryvale had been received and were being examined andcosted. Following the cessation of the blue flag season, the frontstrand, Claycastle, Redbarn and Garryvoe were in compliancewith requisite criteria and a full review of the season would ensuein the coming weeks in County Hall. A traffic count would be con-ducted in the Costcutters area of Cork Hill shortly. Eyesore and valves,Mayor Linehan Foley commented that the rifle range and ongoingactivity in the area is "a disgrace." She said it was "a massive eye-sore, a hub for anti-social behaviour, served no purpose and wouldbest be demolished. The mayor also observed that a leak waspumping water onto the Quarry Road on the route to Copperallysince last January. Following an inquiry from Cllr Burke, the town engineerexplained that an inappropriate or inadequate valve type had beenfitted on the front strand outfall pipe and now a more suitable onewould replace it. Cllr Burke argued that regardless of valve, thepipe needed to be extended -as the council had always argued- asthe accumulated sand would prevent any valve from working. Mr.Murray reiterated that Atkins consultants had recommended avalve and the manufacturers had said, incorrectly, that it wouldwork. So now the manufacturers had suggested a different model.He added that the county engineers indicated they would apply foran offshore licence to extend the pipe if the new valve didn't work."This is going on for years and years. No valve is going to work!"insisted Cllr Burke. Cllr Beecher asked if money was being wasted on this saga andrecommended that the manufacturers who argued that the erringmanufacturers should conduct the next job free of charge. "I'llconvey your thoughts," assured the engineer. Cllr Murray thenasked that a full report on the outfall pipe total costs be madeavailable for the October meeting. "The thinking in Cork CountyCouncil has to change," she admonished, "and the job done prop-erly instead of messing around for years." Cllr Burke continued, requesting an update on the sewerage situa-tion in the general McCurtainstown area. Mr Murray said he hadpreviously sought permission to enter private land to clean somedrains and was refused. There had since been a change of heart,access was permitted, the work conducted and the problem solved. Proceeding, Cllr Burke asked for attention to "the usual list offootpaths" (Tallow Street, South Main Street and junction ofStrand Street and South Abbey). To general amusement, heexplained that the nameplate on the entrance stone at Srath na Sailispelt 'Sailt' along with a fada on the 't'! The town clerk said theestate was managed by Cork County Council issue but thatYoughal Town Council had undertaken some works on theirbehalf, including landscaping and the installation of the said stone.He said the correct spelling had been given to the stonecutter, whohad presumably made a mistake and which he would correct.Cllr Murray complained of hedging intruding onto the footpath atGolf Links Road. She also questioned had there been any move toemploy CCTV in rural, county areas (no) and wondered if a pothole at the end of Cork Hill could be remedied.

No money, stones, low signage and a disability box. Cllr Beecher said a gulley at the church side entrance to DermotHurley Estate needed cleaning before stating that the sharp turninto the estate needed rectifying also. The town clerk quicklyreminded him that he knew well that there is no money availablefor such work. Following the winter frost, he elaborated, everycent of the Local Roads grant had been spent on resurfacing CorkHill, Magnier's Hill, Ardrath, Golf Links Road and Kilcoran Roadand it wasn't acceptable to be putting the onus on the town coun-cil to do work for which it couldn't afford. The matter would needto be addressed in the context of the 2011 budget in December. Mr. Ryan recalled that he had asked each councillor to make rep-resentation to their political parties on the issues of resources

and staffing for local authorities and had yet to see one written

and staffing for local authorities and had yet to see one writtenresponse regarding policies. "There is no better council to do thework than Youghal Town Council if we are given the means," heconcluded.Cllr Beecher next asked when the new sewerage scheme wouldcommence. Mr. Ryan said the 2012 Main Sewerage Schemerequired the Dept. of Environment to approve a list of contractorsso that Cork County Council could go to tender. It would alldepend on funding at national level, he added. Cllr Beecher com-plained that there were "stones showing" on the road betweenDolphin Square and Brown Street. The town clerk replied that themain streets were a county council matter and he had made recom-mendations to that body, which were being "looked onfavourably." The councillor concluded with reference to a big pothole on the Quarry Road. Cllr Hennessy repeated a previous request that low level signageadorning a traffic island at Greencloyne be removed as it obstruct-ed vision, with particular emphasis for children accessing thenearby playground. The councillor also referred to a long sectionof "deteriorating" road adjacent to Blackwater Heights. Cllr Coyne sought temporary repairs to the road from Hillview tothe entrance to Raheen Road. He was also concerned about thesame Quarry Road pothole as was Cllr Beecher.Cllr McLellan said she was still awaiting yellow disability box tobe a painted outside 5 Fitzgerald's Terrace, 15 months after firstrequesting it! She also wondered if there was any progress toimplement Priority 1's of the Disability Awareness Audit. Thetown engineer said a contractor was about to start on the audit pri-orities but that the yellow box was a different issue. "The personwho needs it is disabled," Cllr McLellan replied. Cllr Beecher rejoined the debate by condemning alleged odoursfrom the landfill site and then asking what "Country CleanRecycling are going to be doing out there." He was informed theyhad merely purchased the refuse collection licence. Mr. Ryan alsoinformed that a response from the county council to concernsexpressed about odours at Foxhole would be forthcoming shortly.Mayor's Business: Mayor Linehan Foley congratulated all who supported and wereinvolved in various festivals and events during a busy summer.She thanked the deputy mayor for standing in during the Tweenies10th anniversary year celebration, before mentioning that theannual council meeting with the Chamber of Commerce had gonevery well and that liaisons would be ongoing.The marina and the pontoonThe mayor said there seemed to be a perception in the wider com-munity that the town council had halted the establishment of themarina and besides, had never even wanted it! She asked the townclerk to clarify the situation and also that of the pontoon, whichwas being moved somewhat. Mr Ryan said Youghal Town Council was "extremely supportive"of the marina concept and that it "was one of its strategic aims"within the Youghal Town Development Plan 2009-15. Heexplained that in 2005 the council had granted planning permis-sion to Aeon Developments Ltd for a 39-berth marina at Allen'sQuay, which would complement the company's 82-apartmentcomplex on the site. The proposed marina was appealed unsuc-cessfully to An Bord Pleanala by third parties. Ultimately the company went into receivership however and lastNovember Blackwater Marina Ltd., had acquired the rights of thepermitted planning application. That company subsequentlysought an extension to the planning permission and were given 18months by Youghal Town Council, said the town clerk. It subse-quently transpired that the documentation submitted by the devel-oper to the Department of the Environment for a foreshore licence"was completely different" to the original proposal, he said and thedepartment consequently declined to grant the said licence. Following further negotiations between the department and thedeveloper, said Mr. Ryan, a new design was agreed "in principle"between those two parties. However, because this required a fur-

ther 25% of space beyond what was stipulated in the originalapplication and because it was totally different visually, "it wasdifficult for the developer to proceed with the project." He wasadvised by senior planners that because of previous third partyobjections and because "the footprint of the new proposal" dif-fered so much from the original footprint, a new planning applica-tion would be required. "To date there has been no such applica-tion," said the town clerk. "Youghal Town Council remainsextremely supportive of developing a marina at that location" heconcluded, and would support the developer within the context ofa new planning application. The pontoon on Nealon's presented a shorter clarification. Thetown clerk said that prior to the tourist season commencing, thecouncil had facilitated the development of Aquatrek's facility onthe quay, along with a pontoon for incoming charter boats. Thepontoon was now found to be "slightly too close to the jetty" andat certain tides some users were having difficulties using the jettyfacilities. Consequently the pontoon will be moved "five to tenmetres south" of its location. Additionally the two companies util-ising facilities on the quay are to regularise their facilities as pernormal practice, now that the season is over. The mayor stressed that the town council supports any legitimatewater-based facility in the harbour "100%." Cllr Murray elaborat-ed that the public needed to know that it was beyond the townclerk's remit to allow the marina to proceed without a new plan-ning application being submitted. Notice of Intention to Designate the Blackwater Estuary as anSPA under the EU Birds Directive: The town clerk said he hadasked the area planner to prepare a submission for Dept ofEnvironment on the matter and urged members to make recom-mendations if they wished. The submission will include both townand county areas.Presentation of Traffic Management Plan for Ashe Street,DeValera Street, Emmet Place and Church Street. The mayorsaid this had been deferred to October's meeting as "a full coun-cil" would be preferable given the importance of the issues. (Therewere eight councillors present as the Labour party had not yet rat-ified the appointment of Cllr Donie Daly's nominated replace-ment, Mr. Tomas O'Connell.) Cllr Revins advocated that a specialmeeting be held to deal with the plan, given its complexities. Hefelt that events like the Medieval Festival would not easily com-ply with the plan but the town clerk advised him that such festi-vals were better experienced without parking access in the vicini-ty, stall deliveries etc., notwithstanding. Review of Parking Bye Laws: It was agreed that a special meet-ing be convened to discuss both this and the traffic managementplan. Mr. Ryan stipulated that it be done so with regard for the cur-rent town policy, contained within the Town development Planand the Public Realm Plan, meaning "the car is an issue that mustbe dealt with." The date is to be arranged. Extinguishment of Right of Way at North AbbeyTerrace/Flemings Court:Surprisingly, there was only one submission regarding this pro-posal. Cllr Burke proposed the closure be enacted and this wasunanimously accepted.IBAL (Irish Businesses Against Litter) Report 23rd Aug 2010:In common with many local authorities, the council was unhappywith IBAL's ranking and it's procedures in assigning it. Youghalwas ranked 37th, in the current Anti-Litter League, classed as'Moderately Littered' but outside the 'Clean to European Norms'standard. The town clerk said he was "very disappointed", giventhat Youghal had been within European norms and achieved litterfree status for the previous four years. He cited IBAL's decision totake access roads into consideration as problematic, as they werethe county council's responsibility. Cllr Revin's said just two areasoutside the town, one of which was Co.

Security Survey Report (Youghal Town Walls, CollegeGardens & St. Mary's Church): All the recommendations contained within the garda-preparedreport had been implemented and much of the anti-social activityin the area had ceased, said the town clerk, though there remainedmore to do. The works conducted had come from the 2000Heritage budget and any further works needed would have tocome from future budgets, he added. Report on AMAI (Amalgamated Municipal Authorities ofIreland) Conference by Cllr Linehan Foley.The mayor said she, the town clerk and Cllr McLellan had trav-elled to Buncrana to attend the conference from September 9th to11th. She said the white paper proposing the abolishment of towncouncils dominated proceedings. Despite some rousing defences,the news wasn't particularly heartening, with Minister forCommunity, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs, Eamon O'Cuiv indicat-ing there would be "big changes." The mayor sadly believed thatdistrict councils would supplant town councils, with a jurisdictionstretching beyond the town. "It will be a catastrophe for all townsif they don't have a town council to support them," she believed,citing the importance of direct representation of constituents'interests in the town hall as an inevitable loss. The mayor urged that all councillors (everywhere) lobby theirTD's and ministers for the retention of town councils, with partic-ular emphasis on the general election that will inevitably fallshortly on our heads. "We must let them know that we won't bewalking round the town canvassing for them if they don't supportus," she urged. "I won't be canvassing for anyone that won't sup-port town councils," echoed Cllr Revins. "They should be givingus more power not less," argued Cllr Beecher. The mayor concluded her report with a recommendation that allcouncillors attending conferences should heretofore furnish "asmall report" to the chamber on their return. She proceeded thatsuch reports would help explain "why we go there and what wedo," before elaborating that the purpose was to learn more aboutanti-social behaviour and planning and so on. She said the govern-ment gave each councillor €2,000 per annum specifically for thispurpose and which could not be used for anything else. "I use it toeducate myself and to inform the people who elected me," sheconcluded. Details of the AMAI conference including footage ofspeakers is on www.amai.ieRapid Report by Cllr Revins: The councillor said he could notattend that month's Rapid meeting as the work to rule dictated itwas being held during mornings and he had work staff on holi-days. He asked that the town clerk take notes on his behalf. Report on the Tidy Towns Task Force by Mayor LinehanFoley:The mayor said she had no update but a request from the task forcefor a presentation on its work, etc., to the town council beforeOctober's meeting was accepted.

Former Cork hurling hero Joe Deane will lend his name and pres-ence to the launch of the 'Dial to Stop Drug Dealing' (DSSD) cam-paign in the Walter Raleigh Monday October 4th. The famous for-ward will be joined at the forum by customs officers, who willgive a presentation on the country's Customs Drugs Watch initia-tive, which avails strongly of covert information from the public.The customs operatives will enlighten the attendance on how theDSSD project can be of vital assistance in their work. Mr Deane'sformer sporting adversary, Waterford's Peter Queally, will also bepresent, in his professional role as Youghal's Community Garda.The launch forms part of the national Drug Awareness Week run-ning from Oct 4th to 8th.The Dial to Stop Drugs is a project that revolves round 1800 220220. This is the 24-hour, freefone number that permits the generalpublic to deliver information on drug dealing anonymously andconfidentially to an agency based outside the State. This project isthus an intelligence gathering initiative but one that has a proventrack record of success wherever it has been established across thecountry. Locally it is supported by the Regional Drugs Task Force,Youghalgardai and community networks. Information supplied to 1800 220 220 is logged, processed andeventually returned to national and local garda drug units, whereit may assist on-going cases or represent a direct case of its own,depending on the level of sustainability the information bringswith it. Callers are not asked to supply their own identities and,neither, are calls traced, as confidentiality is itself the key to exis-tence. The service targets only drug dealing and not drug usage.

"It's very much about empowering communities to fight thescourge of drug dealing from within," says aDSSDrepresentative." You can feel very helpless watching afriend or family member being destroyed by drugs, but this offersa way to strike back." The 1800 220 220 DSSD project, Phase 1,was first launched in Blanchardstown in 2006. Phase two followeda year later, bringing Cork City, Macroom, Midleton, Skibereen,Mallow, Youghal, Tralee, Limerick, Dublin North,Waterford,Wexford and Carlow into the frame. To date, Phase Two regionshave generated over 1,100 calls. From September 2008 to July 2009, there were 113 calls fromCork city and county, 28 calls from Kerry, 45 from Limerick, 19from North Dublin and 94 from the South east. Between August2008 and July 2009, 178 calls were made to 1800 220 220 fromthe Cork/Kerry region, mostly from rural areas. Dial to Stop DrugDealing is launched at the Walter Raleigh on October 4th at 8 pm.A question and answer forum will be included. Time: 8pm.Inquiries: Garda PeterQueally on 086-0667516)

By Christy Parker A heart-warming story of friendship, care and camaraderie liesbehind a fundraising night for the Mercy hospital cancer care unitnext month. For over thirty years Mickey O'Connell fromGurranabraherspent his weekend amongst friends in Yougha,lwhere he his gentle disposition and love for life endeared him toall who knew him. On September 19th 2009, Mickey, aged just61,succumbed to cancer in Cork's Mercy hospital. Now, throughthe Mercy Hospital Foundation, the friends whose lives heenriched aim to ensure his untimely passing brings benefit to oth-ers whose lives are infringed by the disease.Throughout his Youghal sojourns, Mickey was the house guest ofDave and Mag Cooley from Cherryvale, who recall him as "anabsolute gentleman and wonderful company." GerKenneally ofthe fundraising committee reiterates the view, describing Mickeyas "a great character and one of the kindest souls you could possi-bly meet and a man with a great sense of humour. Nobody everhave a bad word to say about Mickey," he states. A lifelong bachelor, Mickey served his working life in the cus-tomers' service department of BordGais. Mickey shared the fami-ly home with his twin sisters Mary and Brenda.The eldest of ninechildren, his sibling all survive him.Many of Mickey's friendships evolved through his musical talents.An accomplished drummer throughout the showband era, he play-ing alongside such household names as Derek Davis, TheRegalShowband, Pat Lynch & the Air Chords, BarryHendrick&the Treetops and the Music Men. In more recent yearshe plied his talents on guitar and frequently sat in on sessions inYoughal. "He had a great mind for electronics too," remembers hissister Mary, "and even built a few guitars. He could never refusehelp to anyone, so he'd be fixing guitars for people as well." Fittingly, many Youghal musicians acquainted with Mickey's tal-ents will perform at what promises to be a fundraising event withthe emphasis as much on fun as funds. "Local bands Rannack andClockwork will play but there will also be guest musicians fromYoughal and Cork," says Ger. In difficult economic times, the generosity of businesses and indi-viduals towards the cause already reflects astoundingly well onthe town and beyond. Youghal road bowlers recently raised over€600 which, allied to private donations, has helped swell thefundraising coffers to over €5,000 three weeks before the mainevent.Admission on the night event brings free entry to a raffle inwhich donated prizes again reveal amazing generosity. The arrayincludes an i phone 4 (estimated value €700), two LCD televi-sions, two nights b&b with one evening meal in Ennis, €100 shop-ping voucher, a petrol lawn mower, a petrol hedge strimmer, din-ner for four in Midleton and much more. "People have beenexceptionally kind," agrees Ger, "All our outlays have been spon-sored, so every cent we raise goes directly to the Mercy hospital.Mickey himself was a generous man and this is a very fitting wayto honour his memory," he adds. The Mercy Hospital Foundation fundraiser is at the WalterRaleigh hotel on Friday October 15th. Admission €10 at door oradvance tickets at Cree's shop and from committee members,Dave & Mag Cooley, Ger Kenneally, Con Kiely, J.J. Cooley,Paudie White.

By Christy ParkerYoughal is set to become Ireland's first fully mapped town under anew addressing system based on digital technology.Representatives of a new company, Loc8 Code Ltd., presented theircase to Youghal Town Council prior to September's meeting. Thecompany outlined plans that would see every property, landmarkand address in the town locatable to within 6 metres by tourists,service providers and anyone else employing popular SatNav andmobile methodology. The company would also create 'cluster' identification, wherebycodes with a common thread, such as heritage, entertainment, edu-cational or sports facilities could be instantly identified and easilylocated. Relevant information on every facility or location would beprogressively added, creating a living database and informationservice accessible through SatNav systems and websites. SmarterA Loc8 Code is an eight-digit, alphanumerical all-Ireland addresscode -"a smarter form of postcode" as it is described -built to suitweb mapping and mobile navigation tools. Loc8 Code Ltd hasworked for two years with SatNav providers Garmin to develop theLoc8 Code system, using ordinance survey mapping as a baseprovider. The system can also support non-properties, such as carboot sales, taxi ranks, beaches, etc. Loc8 Code chief executive GaryDelaney claims the benefits will transcend all community require-ments, from recreation to postal deliveries to emergency serviceresponses.Mr Delaney is also managing director of global positioning system,GPS Ireland and brings 20+ years as a navigational specialist in theIrish navy to the project. He was joined in his presentation byYoughal man and Loc8 Code director Hugh Carson, whose influ-ence has seen Youghal earmarked for its revolutionary role througha service that is being marketed and established across the island's32 counties. Also present was Youghal native Ruairi Roddy, chieftechnology officer of Crosbie Holdings. Composing his argument the CEO made unfavourable comparisonsbetween the proposed postcode system and other informationproviders. He decried cumbersome co-ordinates and Youghal web-sites that don't really do directions, while Google Earth, he claimedmischievously, suggests Youghal beach is in the Green Park! Usinga hypothetical search for the Walter Raleigh hotel as a workingexample, he thus advanced his case for the Loc8 Code being themost efficient tool of discovery (though he neglected to consider thesocially-enhancing option of winding the car window down andasking someone for directions!) Fast and efficientCutting through the spiel and speculation, Loc8 Code has potentialfor diversity but essentially offers speed and efficiency while com-plementing modern technology. Furthermore, it boasts such high-accuracy detail that a business apartment for example, can be pin-pointed within a larger complex, through its individual code. It isnot difficult to see service providers, including An Post, signing upand while Loc8 Codes are not intended as replacements for conven-tional addressing, it is very perceivable that it will eventually comecompliment them in common usage. Anyone can acquire a Loc8 Code free of charge and the companyrecommends individuals generate the code themselves via the Loc8Code website (www.loc8code.com). Charges will persist, Mr.Delaney explained, when commercial users wish to generate multi-ple codes or want to add additional services to assist users to getadditional functionality from their codes. Loc8 Code Ltd alsoinvites software developers and e-commerce sites to contact it "toagree a suitable licence fo the inclusion and support of Loc8 Codesin their products."Locally Loc8..…In terms of Youghal, Mr. Delaney said the intention is to "makemore Youghal more visible" to location based tools, starting withkey locations like heritage buildings, hotels, restaurants, schools,

playgrounds, medical centres, etc. These would subsequently be'clustered,' so that a few Loc8 Codes would provide a browser withinformation on various options within one topic. Mr. Carson said he wants "to map absolutely everything inYoughal" from fire hydrants upwards and outwards across everypossible service. It is intended to do just that in a project spanningthree years. To this purpose, Loc8 Codes Ltd wished the council toassist in establishing a steering committee to oversee the initiativeand one which would be headed up by engineering consultantDavid Kelly and be further assisted on the technical side by MrRoddy. Two computers and a handful of staff, possibly FAS work-ers, were considered requisite for the purpose, with the companysupplying free training. Unanimously and warmly welcoming theentire proposal, the council deemed that the Youghal Socio-Economic Development Group was best placed to carry it forwardto the next stage. Further negotiations are expected.

Team Youghal started their epic journey in Navan at 8.30pm onDay One, the 14th September, after team member, ChristyMcCarthy, a family member of the Nationally known YoughalPipe Band, played the National Anthem on the pipes. With Ger Flanagan in the saddle Team Youghal started up theNorth East coast of Ireland towards Belfast. Not long into the raceGer and the rest of his team, Michael McCarthy, Christy McCarthyand Eoin Whyte, experienced strong winds and heavy rain whichhampered their progress through the Northern Counties.As morning broke on Day Two the 15th of September the weatherimproved and saw the second section of the team, Kieran Greoger,Brian Fitzgerald, John Twomey and Tommy Roche, leaving theNorth of Ireland at approx. 9.15 am. Team two then handed over to the first team who continued the

journey through Donegal, which claimed the only casualty of therace, when Eoin Whyte came off his bike on treacherous roadsbefore Mamore Gap in Co. Donegal. Eoin injured his hand which rendered him unable to cycle andChristy McCarthy took up the mantle and conquered the steepclimb through the Gap. Team Youghal continued through Donegal, Sligo and Co. Mayoand were greeted by a lovely sunny morning when they came outof Galway on Day Three, the 16th September. In glorious sunshine Team Youghal cycled through Co. Clarethrough 'The Burren' then along the West Coast through Kilkeeand into Limerick City. Team Youghal then continued South Westout of Limerick into Co. Kerry. As darkness was falling theycycled through Kerry into the Gap of Dunloe and onto the scenicRing of Kerry.On the morning of Day Four, the 17th of September, TeamYoughal entered into their home county of Cork, reaching MizenHead at approx 8:30am and from there Team Youghal continuedon to Skibbereen, Kinsale and Blarney before reaching Cork City. In Cork City John Twomey took on 'St. Patrick's Hill' at breakneckspeed which was an incredible sight. The Team then cycledthrough Cork County and into their home town of Youghal whereall the team cycled in unison into the town to a hero's welcome atapprox. 6pm. After a very brief stop-over Team Youghal continued into Co.Waterford via The Mahon Falls as darkness descended.Fuelled by the welcome they received in their home Town theycontinued up through Wexford and into Wicklow, where TommyRoche took on Mount Leinster, and won, as brightness began torise on the morning of Day Five, the 18th of September.

The team then entered Co.Meath, where the rain began tofall again. All of the team thentook turns at cycling until theyreached the outskirts of Navanand close to the finish line. TeamYoughal then crossed the finishline together to cheers from

Youghal supporters at the finish line in Navan.After crossing the line Team Leader Ger Flanagan said;" We aredelighted to finish the race and even more delighted that we beatlast year's time. We were better organised this year in everydepartment and it showed throughout the race and we definitelybenefited from that organisation and I want to say with all myheart, thank you to the lads both in the saddle and in the supportcrew. Also I would like to thank the people of Youghal who cameout in force on Friday when we cycled through the town and thepeople from Youghal who travelled up to Navan to meet us at thefinish line. Finally I want to thank our sponsors for the team; JackO'Patsy Pottery and Youghal Kia, and in the media; The EveningEcho, and Youghal News with a special thanks to Cork's 96FMand Community Radio Youghal who supported us all the wayaround."Media Coordinator with the Team, John Hennessy, said;" The ladswere under a lot of physical pressure, but they coped with it bril-liantly. I have never seen such a great group of committed andfocused people who are giving it their all for the Emer CaseyFoundation and let's remember this team is made up of ordinaryblokes, like Health Care Workers, Printers, Gardai, RetiredTeachers and Fire Officers and are full amateurs, not semi profes-sional cyclists, so they deserve incredible credit. The supportCrew of Peter Coady, Tom Fitzgerald, Robert Heffernan, PeterRoche, Aonghus O'Broin, Jimmy Healy, Claude McCarthy andMaurice Flanagan also played a vital role in the team's success,providing invaluable backup and navigation support during therace."John Hennessy also said;"I would also like to thank DarinaClancy, Ray Flanagan and Derek Kiely who were part of the crew

After Team Youghal have got their breath back preparations willstart for the team to do it all again.What makes The Race Around Ireland such a fantastic challengeis the constant flow of the race which runs 24 hours a day fromstart to finish, with no let up and that overwhelming desire notonly to complete the race, which is a huge challenge in itself, butto win it and defend titles!

You would think that not a lot of imagination went into thinkingup the name 'Team Youghal", for a group that was about to take onthe second most gruelling endurance test in the world. But havingspent a week with the team throughout their ambition to cycle inthe Race Around Ireland, the name couldn't be more befitting. The definition of Team is a set of people working together and ofcourse Youghal is where all either hail from or have ties. The twowords combined represent a group of people who should be veryproud of what they have achieved. This group of 19 people consisted of 18 men from all ages andbackgrounds, and for the purpose of the task at hand had twothings in common. One to raise awareness of the Emer CaseyFoundation and two, to cycle 2,100k around Ireland in relay fash-ion from 8pm on Tuesday in as fast a time as possible. The one thing that I didn't know before I embarked on the routewas that very few main roads were to be used, and where therewas a hill or a mountain, well that was included on the route too. So in effect you had 8 cyclists and 10 crew divided into two teamswho would operate in shifts that varied in times from 8 to 12hours, 24 hours a day until the course was complete. Each of thetwo teams consisted of 4 cyclists who would cycle relay fashionwith one cyclist on the road from the off, being relieved by thenext cyclist who would be shuttled up the road ahead in a car thatcontained the other 3 cyclists. So not only did they have to cycle,they also had to share driving the 2,100k around Ireland and nav-agate the route so there was no rest while on shift. One shift would go on for 8 to 12 hours - the cyclist on duty beingfollowed at all times by a safety car with a driver and navigator.The navigator would read the signs and route and call out eachturn to the cyclist in question in advance of any twists or turns inthe road. Thankfully, neither team had any major wrong turns.And we all know what its like when the wrong directions are givenin a car!! After each shift the team would be relieved by the next shift offour cyclists and crew. Bikes would be swopped, gear changed,cars emptied of all gear in to the gear van driven by MauriceFlanagan. The cyclists and crew coming off shift would then befed by Claude McCarthy from the camper van and subsequentlyferried the couple of hundred kilometres to the next shift changelocation. In the mean time the cyclists and crew would be lucky toget an hour or so sleep before they took to the saddle again whiletheir other team mates negotiated their leg of the race course. Allthese change overs could take place at any given time of the dayor night in any given location!Complicated? The vast organisation of this team was in planningfor a year. Headed by Ger Flanagan, not alone did Ger give hishand at the organisation but also cycles in it, as did Tommy Roche. So having spent the week with the team and watching all thisunfold I can honesty say I have never seen anything like whatthese guys pulled off. None of them are professional cyclists andthe average age of the team was mentioned at one stage as being

45, and all have day jobs. But let me put that statement in context for you and why I feel thattheir achievement should be hailed from every rooftop. I've beenlucky enough in my line of work to meet some of the most prolif-ic sportsmen and one thing has always shone through. Thesesporting heroes are very ordinary people who have done extraor-dinary things. Sergio Garcia, Padraigh Harrington, RonnieDelaney, Mick Galwey, Michael Carruth, Mick O Dwyer, RoyKeane, - all ordinary people who have made a name for them-selves through doing something extraordinary with their talent. Yes I have been very impressed by them, especially considering

the fact that I don't have much experience of sport itself. Lets faceit, us Loreto girls didn't really get much of a kick start when incomes to sport. The odd hockey game on a bockety pitch, and anoccasional basketball match in a converted church doesn't reallyprepare you for what these famous people have had to do toachieve such accomplishments, so I was always to be in awe of thebig guns anyway. I've been to many GAA matches and watched Munster bring homethe Heineken cup and watched Colin Byrne caddy yet anothergolfer to a European tour success, but I truly have to say watchingEoin Whyte cycle up Malin head in horizontal rain and wind thatknocked me off balance on more than one occasion was somethingelse. But what had gone the night before and what was to followwas nothing to that. The team of Tommy Roche, Brian Fitzgerald, Kieran Groeger andJohn Twomey had battled with what was described as a hurricaneconditions through treacherous mountains in the North andthrough the Giants Causeway in the wee small hours of Tuesdaynight. I didn't see it - but I saw them at the changeover on theNorth South border at Muff. Exhaustion doesn't come close - andthey had another four days to go. The first shock I got was watching Christy McCarthy jump backon the saddle after Eoin came off his bike and damaged his hand.

on the saddle after Eoin came off his bike and damaged his hand.It wasn't long since Chisty had finished his relay stint and after theaccident he jumped back on board and climbed the steepest loneli-est road called Mamore Gap, I have ever seen. Picture Windmillhill, and then triple it, but with twists and turns, and tour buses thatwont pull over. So Ger, Michael McCarthy and Christy McCarthy were down acyclist for their leg. But really that was just the start. Cycling thelonely back roads in pitch blackness, up every hill and mountainalong the way through Connought, Munster and Leinster was yetto come. Relief came when we got back to Munster as the weath-er brightened and we travelled to west Cork and Mizen head inspectacular weather. Some of the many jaw dropping moments were the KerryMountains, 5 peaks in all conquered, a 40k stint by Tommy end-ing in Blarney after Kerry Pike; Patricks hill assaulted by JohnTwomey in the same 24 hours of mastering the Kerry peaks. Allclimbed before they waltzed unfazed into Youghal for a few pho-tos and well deserved support - we all remember the boostMunster got when Limerick was shown on the big screen. Thedrive through Youghal was swiftly followed by Michael, Christyand Ger tackling Comeragh mountains and then Tommy bustingMount Leinster in the small hours of Saturday morning and later,John Twomey sailing through the heights of the DublinMountains, and every inch of road in between. The sheer mental strength that it takes to sit on a bike on your ownand tackle those roads and conditions with very little sleep or foodis beyond comprehension for me. What it did prove is that it isincredible what we can make our bodies do if we have the mentalwill.This task was never for the faint hearted. But it's a task whereevery team member had a very important part to play, and one thathas to be seen to be believed. The follow cars kept their end of thebargain by not just navigating and ensuring all rules were adheredto but also by boosting morale and causing a giggle and laugh ortwo where needed. The drivers Tom Fitzgerald, Robert Heffernanand Peter Coady, drove at 25km per hour all over Ireland in 4 dayswith little sleep or food, but keeping the cyclists safe. JimmyHealy and Peter Roche navigating the twists and turns of the notso clear cut route around our little Island. There can be no betterdefinition of team.The fact that these men were undertaking this incredible task seek-ing sponsorships on cards from friends and families is more thanadmirable. However I sincerely believe that national, no, interna-tional recognition should be awarded to these men for what theyachieved, which in turn would give international recognition toThe Emer Casey Foundation and the unique work that the founda-

tion does which effectswomen and familiesglobally. Sometimes we lookaway to find our sport-ing heroes and take theones that the mediadeliver to us in droves.But for me, in myhumble experience, Ihave a new set ofsporting heroes, and Idon't have to look toofar away to find themat all. A unique experi-

ence and one I am very proud to have been part of. On Saturday the 18th of September, a convoy of 19 people madetheir way back from Navan to Youghal and quietly made their wayback to their homes and families to get some well earned food andsleep.A motley bunch of ordinary people who had completed the mostextraordinary sporting task, in aid of a charity with local origins,who by Monday had all returned to their day jobs. TeamYoughal.

Landscaping Planting throughout the village is admired especial-ly the yellow roses at the grotto Be careful that for example theblack and yellow surround and stakes at the circular bed does nottake the eye away from the planting There are a number of goodincidental plantings like this throughout the village and onapproaches. The highly romantic scent at the well is beautifullypresented [Where did the dressed stone fragments piled against thecircular walls originate?] The colourful playground is centrally sit-uated and clearly very popular - a fine addition to the publicamenities Most of the green areas adjacent to housing were wellmaintained.Wildlife and Natural AmenitiesIt happens that a number of areas that could be considered under"Landscaping" also come into the area of "Wildlife". We tend tomark the former from the more formal and structured sites and thelatter from the more natural sites and this includes woods andmature trees - but of course they overlap. The riverside walk in itswoodland setting is excellent amenity. The grounds of theHeritage Centre contain some superb mature trees especially theancient yews. Virginia and other creepers were seen on old walls -this is attractive and also provides a refuge for birds. The birdboxes were not seen but are known from your notes to be presentit would be interest to learn if they had tenants, and of whatspecies The information board is most comprehensiveLitter ControlYour litter-picking programme is obviously working well, as therewas very little litter on adjudication day except for a scattering justwhere you would not expect it at the recycling bank.

14th AnniversaryIn Loving Memory of our dear brother

John CareyLate of Blackwater Hts., Youghal

Who died on the 4th October

Those we hold most dear never truly leave us,Rather they live on in the kindness they showed,

The comfort they showed,And the love they brought into our lives.

On his soul sweet Jesus have mercy.

Always remembered by his brother Pad, sister-in-law Margaret and family, his sister Sheila, broth-

er-in-law Jimmy and family.

Aura Youghal is playing its part in Positive Ageing Week byencouraging older people to experience the benefits of its aquaaerobics classes which are already a big hit with locals.Age has proved to be no barrier to the number of people taking upthe classes which are purposely designed to improve aerobic fit-ness without placing stress and strain on joints and muscles.Aura Youghal is celebrating Positive Aging Week by taking 20%off the cost of its aqua aerobic classes for anyone over 55 years upto Sunday, October 10. The leisure centre is also providing free teaand coffee after its weekly morning classes.“We have a great mix of older people participating in our aqua aer-obics classes which are ideal for keeping fit, overcoming arthritisand helping people to recover from injury,” explained AuraYoughal Operations Manager Tracy Kenneally. “People notice results and the reason why the classes work so wellis because the body’s buoyancy in the water reduces stress on yourhips, knees and spine. Warm water exercise is also an excellentway to build up your strength, to ease stiff joints and to relax soremuscles,” she added.Each aqua aerobics class takes place for 45 minutes and Aura’squalified instructors ensure that participants are slowly introducedto exercise routines without putting participants or their bodiesunder pressure.“There is a real fun element to each class and the exercises moveall the joints of the body through their full range of motion. Theundulating motion of the water provides resistance while the lowimpact moves are easy on arthritic joints and brittle bones,” Tracyexplained.“Regular exercise like aqua aerobics can also help to reduce heartdisease and its associated risk factors like hypertension, high cho-lesterol and obesity. It reduces the risk of someone having a strokewhile also helping to increase bone density which reduces the like-lihood of osteoporosis,” she added.Aqua aerobics classes take place at Aura Youghal every Monday,Wednesday and Friday from 11 a.m. to 11.45 a.m. and from 8 p.m.to 8.45 p.m. Classes cost €8.80 during peak hours and €7.80 dur-ing off-peak hours to which the 20% discount applies untilOctober 10.Older people interested in learning more about Aura’s aqua aero-bics classes are welcome to visit the centre at Claycastle to talk toan instructor or to telephone the centre at 024 91614 for furtherdetails.

Over 170 students from the Architectural Department of WaterfordInstitute of Technology commenced a major collaborative initiativewith Youghal's Heritage Committee on an Architectural appraisal ofthe historic town of Youghal. Kicking off initially with a three day 'think - in' session in the MallArts Centre on 14th September, students from first to fourth yearwill take on Youghal's Architectural Heritage as a case study for theacademic year. Students will focus on various projects and willmake regular site visits to Youghal over the course of the year.Their efforts will not only provide a stomping ground for enthusias-tic architectural students but it will also lay the foundation for pro-moting Youghal's prominence in Architectural Heritage. Catherine Desmond of the Youghal Heritage Committee explainedhow this joint initiative came about: "The Youghal HeritageCommittee approached W.I.T with the idea of their Department ofArchitecture undertaking an architectural appraisal on Youghal, toinclude vacant structures, sites and buildings of prominence in thearea. Their response was hugely encouraging and they wereextremely eager to come on board. We were delighted to welcomethe 170 students to the town -who will give a completely fresh per-spective on Youghal's hugely significant and unique heritage." SaidCatherine.Máire Henry, Head of the Department of Architecture inW.I.T commented on the partnership saying: "W.I.T was thrilled tobecome involved with decision makers and local authorities inYoughal in developing, in a sustainable manner, the built and nat-ural environment within Youghal. It is one of the key aims of theDepartment of Architecture of W.I.T to not only act as a catalyst fordebate but to become actively involved with our students ofArchitecture in community supported projects".The initiative not only showcases Youghal's Architectural Heritageand exhibits its worthiness of such academic attention, but the eco-nomic spin - off to the town will also be very valuable throughoutthe year. Initially during their three day stay in the town, studentswill reside in Carleton Village Holiday Apartments and Villas inYoughal, providing a welcome boost towards the tail end of the hol-iday season. Undoubtedly the presence of the students over thecourse of the year will also be very beneficial in terms of boostingthe local economy.The initiative has received a positive reactionfrom all parties involved, proving the relevance of Youghal'sHeritage. Sean McLoughlin, Youghal Town Architect in supportingthe project intimated: "This initiative gives exposure for new think-ing on the potential of Youghal's Architecture and it exposes thispotential to the public".

U16 League County Quarter final Youghal V Kilbree. The girls have had lots of games at u15 level through out the sum-mer but not so much at this age group, but they had been comingtogether at training in the last few weeks and the training andpreparation had paid off. A long journey was ahead of the teamtraveling all the way to west Cork. The Youghal girls looked the strongest from the whistle and tookcharge all the way through the game, fantastic scores came fromall the forward and mid field all putting their names on the scoreboard. Free taker Shannen Bulman Joyce was on target for all herfrees and was able to knock up a very impressive score line fromplay. Surging runs from the mid field pairing of Leah Broderickand Niamh Quill gave the opposition no chance U14 AoifeMcCarthy was also on top form getting herself on the score sheetand is sure to be one to watch for the future. The backs had a quiteevening but trainers were able to give all girls some game timewith moving Aoife Siochru and Nora Sheehan from the cornersinto the half back line. Youghal lead at the break and it was a clearrun all the way to the final whistle with Kilbree only getting onechance to score new goalkeeper, Janice Daly making the only saveof the game and impressing the side line. Unfortunately it was not a testing game for the girls but it gave thetrainers a chance to put players in positions they are not used toand give the girls some variety in their game. At the break, CaptainMichaela Dalton who has been outstanding in full back all yearwas brought up to full forward and Sally ann Quill went full backit showed both girls versatility with Michaela being able to pop afew scores over the bar and Sally ann doing a fine job in the backline. Changes also happened in mid field with Niamh Quill mov-ing to centre back and Leah Broderick to half forward, Jane Walshmoved to midfield along with Shannon Watson. At half time Ellie Budds was introduced for Ashley O’Brien, tenminutes into the second half Ameerah Goggin was replaced by hercousin Zoe Goggin and then Lauren Buckley came on for NiamhQuill. It was great to give these younger girls an opportunity in aCounty match. We would like to say a big thank you to KilbreeCamogie Club for organizing refreshments for the team after thegame. The U16’s now progress to semi final where they will takeon Dungorney or Ballinascarthy date and time TBC.

U18 County semi final Youghal 3-6 Blarney 1-4 U18’s have had a great year with matches, only being defeatedonce in the league. They had played Blarney earlier in the summerand knew they were up against it on Saturday. Blarney were a very physical side with some talented hurlers, theyhad a very strong half forward line and the selectors knew that linewould need to hold firm. Both sides started off strong in the mid field but the first score wasfrom Youghal with 3 more following, before Blarney were award-ed a free. Shannen Bulman Joyce was on fire in wing forward position, scor-ing a massive 2-5. The side line decided to make a change andmove her in to full forward where she seems to work fantastical-ly. Roisin O’Keeffe was yet again on top form, she is very awareof her surroundings and was able to set up Shannen for nearly allof her points. Before the move was made however, corner for-ward, Emily Roche, who plays u14 for the club got her name onthe score sheet, scoring a goal before half time. In the second half Youghal were against the breeze but that did notdeter mid fielder, Leah Broderick who had her game of the seasonand deserved the title of player of the match, Leah was fantasticon the day and settled the mid field at her ease. It was a pity thatshe was unable to knock a score over for herself but she can takecredit for a lot of the ones that were taking by her team mates.Youghal made one change at the break subbing Sally Ann Quill forEllie Budds. Ellie who is quick on her feet is improving all thetime and is one to watch out for in the future. Youghal were awarded a free with ten minutes to go and ShannenBulman Joyce again stepped up to the plate, her free taking was ontarget all day and her confidence was up, she scored a rocket of agoal in the top corner of the net leaving the Blarney backs andtheir goal keeper with no chance. Blarney battled on with their scores but it wasn’t enough on theday, and with moving Michaela Dalton into centre back and AmyMotherway into full back there was no getting through theYoughal defence. Goal keeper Chloe Daly must get a mention also as she is usuallyour wing back and a superd player, Chloe got injured half waythrough the summer in a Junior game and will be getting surgeryshortly, she bravely stood in Goal for the game carrying an injuryand made some fine saves, we wish her the best of luck with heroperation and know that she will be back on the field in the not todistant future. Team Chloe Daly, Ashling Siochru, Michaela Dalton, NorahSheehan, Alannah Finn, Amy Motherway, Jane Walsh, LeahBroderick, Niamh Quill ( c ), Shannen Bulman Joyce, RoisinO’Keeffe, Suzie Fitzgibbon, Shannon Watson, Sally Ann Quill,Emily Roche. Subs used Ellie Budds for Sally Ann Quill. Youghal minors now progress to the County Final who they willmeet either St Vincents or Ballynora, the date is to be confirmed. Juniors play Ballinascarthy in final of the County league and arehoping for the double on Saturday at Castle road.

However, the lads wore the jersey with pride and playedall games.First up was Erin's Own who matched Youghal point for pointuntil a late goal from Jake Cooper sealed the match for Youghal.No rest for the lads who had to fulfil all the fixtures and straightaway took on Sarsfields B. Youghal had the edge in the game untilSarsfield sprung a few subs into the forward line to win the game.Youghal's third game was againstRussell Rovers, and tiredness wasnow setting in. Full credit to RussellRovers who won the game in whatcan only be described as a very closematch.Whilst the toll of continuous gameswas now really telling on the lads, theprospect of taking on rivals Midletonlifted their spirits and Youghal went

on to win the game. Next up was Killeagh. Youghal had the windat their backs and with Ruaidhri McSweeney kept raining downsliotars on the Killeagh back line, Youghal pushed on to win thematch.Sarsfields A was their last match but at this stage, players, mentorsand supporters were on their last legs. Youghal held Sarsfields atbay for most of the match, but in the end they just ran out of steamand Sarsfield went on to win. Huge credit must go to the 14 ladswho played six continuous matches lasting over 2 hours andwould have played six more matches if asked. Outstanding on theday were Jack McGrath, Jack Dorrian & Tiernan McCarthy, whoit must be said had been going hell for leather in the previous fewtraining sessions.Thanks to Aghada for a great day out which was brilliantly organ-ised. Thanks to all the teams we played against during the courseof the league and we look forward to renewing acquaintances inthe future. Also, a big thank you for the many supporters for theircontinued encouragement15th September Youghal v Cloyne - Junior Football YoughalJunior Footballers played Cloyne in the Divison 3 League onWednesday 15th Sept in Cloyne. Youghal were going into thisgame un- beaten. We fielded a completely different team becauseof the involvement of a number of players on the Intermediatehurling panel. We started playing against the wind and found itdifficult because Cloyne were playing very well but we gradual-ly found our game plan and went in with the score 1/2 Eochaill,Cloyne 1/6. Second half we started playing more open play andeventually brought the lead back,we were just 1 point away fromthe lead when Cloyne went up field and got a goal. But we stead-ed the ship again and eventually went out winners on 2/7 Cloyne2/9 Eochaill. This means if we beat Carrigtwohill in our nextgame we will be in the League Final.Team: 1.

YOUGHAL GAA NEWS

Youghal Intermediate Hurling Panel who lost to Tracton in the County Semi-Final on Saturday last

Bhíomar an-ghnóthach arís i rith na seachtaine seo caite, andgiven the week that was in it, it was appropriate that football tookprecedence. Here's a roundup of the action.U-10 Parish Leagues Our Under 10 Football Parish Leaguesconcluded on Sunday morning as 44 committed players battledgamely for over an hour in the final day of action. At the conclu-sion of the three rounds on Thursday last, Padraig Leahy's Yellowteam were unbeaten, and they maintained this record as they over-came Darragh Geary's Blue team in the semi-final, and thendefeated Kieran Daly's Reds in a cracking A final. Cian McDonaldwas literally unbeatable in goal as the Reds blasted shot after shotbut could not find a way past him, and the Yellows prevailed on ascoreline of 1-5 to o-3.In the B Final, Andrew Foley's Green teammaximised their numerical advantage to defeat the Blues in agame of high drama, with Olan Broderick's last minute pile-driv-er lashing against the crossbar. Unfortunately for Olan and histeam mates, this left them 2 points adrift on a scoreline of 3-1 to2-2. So congratulations to the Greens and Yellows, but in truth, allplayers deserve great credit for making these leagues so exciting.Many thanks to the moms, dads, grandparents and other familymembers whose positive support added greatly to the occasion,and to our four dedicated and enthusiastic managers Alan, Kevin,Tom and Declan. Should Conor Counihan decide to step down, wecould suggest a name or two to step in to his shoes!! Thanks alsoto Ursula for her diligence in hunting down trophies, and for sup-plying the essential goodies at the end of the morning's activities.A day in Páirc Uí Chinnéíde that those young boys will surelyremember for many a long time to come!U-10 Hurling Mayfield paid a visit to us on Saturday last, and wehad a most enteratining match. It was somewhat unusual to beback playing 15-a-side after our recent emphasis on 10 and 11-a-side games. Our Under 10's, supplemented by four Under 9's,played the first half, and held an eight point lead at half-time,when they trooped off and were replaced by an Under 9 selection,which also included our two Under 8 regulars, Robbie and Ben.We competed really well for this half, but Mayfield's age advan-tage allowed them to whittle back the lead and to hold the upperhand when the final whistle blew. Many thanks to Mayfield for thevisit.U-16 A Football Championship It was a week of mixed emotionsand fortunes for our Fé 16 footballers. Paired with the Glanmireboys in the quarter final stages of this year's Fé 16 'A' East CorkFootball Championship, we had a big task ahead of us, especiallywhen you cast your mind back to last year when we came upagainst these young men. Daunting as the task seemed, we hadprepared well and travelled to the Pike field on Monday last tocontest this challenge. A goal in the opening few minutes for theGlamnire boys had set them on their way and had us thinking, arewe in for a re run of '09? However our lads settled into the gameafter this early setback and David Cahill got us off the mark witha fine point. Glanmire increased their lead with a further twopoints before Decky Long gathered the liathroid and headedtowards the Glanmire goal, beating their defence and side step-ping their goalie, he secured our opening goal. On the seventeenthminute Eoghan Keniry booted over a lovely point to bring theboys in green on level terms with our hosts, 1-2 apiece. We wit-nessed some lovely football in the closing stages of this half, withboth teams exchanging points, two to one, in our favour to leavethe half time score reading 1-4 to 1-3, advantage to Killeagh-Ita's.We are still wondering, was Conor Counihan in the dressing roomfor the half time pep talk, because our lads came out with all gunsblazing and totally dominated the opening quarter, securing somebrilliant points and increasing our lead by a further four points,with Dave Cahill scoring twice and one each from MatthewMurphy and Jerome Glavin.Glanmire converted a free, to open their scoring of this half whichgave them the will to fight back and they secured two more, butwe defended with every ounce of energy and held on to our leadas the final whistle approached. Just before it sounded Thomas O

as the final whistle approached. Just before it sounded Thomas OConnor tapped over our final point of the game, which saw usbook our place in this year's semi final - final score Killeagh-Ita's1-9; Glanmire 1-6.Our semi-final opponents were near neighbours Kiltha Óg. Wehosted this game in Pairc Uí Chinnéide on Saturday evening lastunder the watchful eye of referee Ian O'Brien of Midleton. We wit-nessed a closely fought opening half, with both teams defendingresolutely, but it was our visitors who held a slight advantage asthe short whistle sounded, 0-5 to 0-3. Martin O'Driscoll openedthe scoring for us in the second half, but it was the Kiltha boyswho won the breaks and had a little luck on their side and went on

to dominate thishalf, securing abrace of pointswithout reply fromus, try as we might.They were eventu-ally comfortablewinners on the dayand we wish themevery success inthe forthcomingfinal. Well doneboys - the

Glanmire victory was very encouraging and reward for the effortput in by management and players, and Saturday was just a bridgetoo far.Congratulations To all those who received Junior Cert results thismonth - well done! Now lean ar aghaidh leis an obair!

Killeagh/Ita’s Juvenile GAA

At this stage of the year Castle Road feels like home ground, hav-ing played a number of matches there in the last few weeks.Nevertheless the thrill of anticipation never goes and never moreso as on a fine day as Saturday 25th Sept turned out to be. Our sen-ior B team continue to climb the ladder which is a place in theCounty final a rung at a time.A neat pass from Noelle O Donovan saw Kate Murphy on hand toland the sliotar in the bak of the net! Claire Keohane, Jessica OShea, Noelle and Annie Walsh all added points to the scoreboard.All the while Marie and Sandra Smiddy and young Aoife Walshwere working together to prevent Newcestown from retaliating.Kate Murphy was on hand yet again to take a great pass fromClaire all the way into the back of the net. Angela walsh in real JoeDeane style scored a point from way out on the wing and Anniehad point No 8 as the half time whistle blew.Re-energised Newcestown had the first point of the second halffrom a 45. In turn Angela had point No 9 and Kate scored from afree. Brid Stack and Jessica O Shea were providing the forwardswith lots of ball which they in turn put to good use. Annies foot-balling skills came in handy as she kicked over a point in the 17thminute. Stephanie Beausang was making sure that nothing wentpast the posts at the Killeagh goals. Deirdra Cunningham, ShaunaLanders,Roisin Culligan and Eanna O Neill all worked well whenbrought on as subs. The substitutions contributed to goal No 3scored by Noelle and our final goal of the game scored by Angela.Jessica and Claire (Captain) ended the game with a point a piece.The full time score was 4-12 to 0-2. This great victory has us upat the top of the ladder and ready to take on the might of Eire Ogin the County Final. A few weeks of hard training will be required to be fit and readyfor the big day.Well done to Ciara Daly on captaining our victorious U14 InchRovers who beat Mayfield in the East Cork football final inCarrigtwohill on Saturday 25th Sept- a great win and welldeserved. Again well done to the Killeagh girls on the Imokillypanel that drew with Ballinhassig on Sunday 26th in the SeniorCounty Championship Semi -final.
