THEY say that cats have nine lives, but one lucky Dundak dog is closing in on that target after being rescued for a second time in a matter of months.

When Rosie the lurcher dog was stolen in February, many feared the worst, but this particular story was to have a happy ending thanks to an observant member of the public.

As a result, Rosie, who was the subject of a huge campaign to secure her safe return, was reunited with her carers at the Louth SPCA, who are now determined to get a new permanent home for her.

The saga began on the night of February 8/9 when the dog was stolen during a break-in at the Louth SPCA

Shelters in Walsterstown.

Fiona Squibb, an inspector with the Louth SPCA, revealed that the devastated staff launched an immediate campaign through the media and posters which stated that she had been micro-chipped and neutered.

“That really curtailed attempts to move her as we had posters everywhere and the appeal was shared across Ireland, England, Scotland,” stated Fiona.

In the end the answer to the mystery lay much closer to home as a Rosie, who is still under a year old, was recovered from a house in Dundalk thanks to information from a member of the public.

“I think in the end it was Rosie’s fame that saved her.

Repossession of homes could reach 290 in Louth

By Paul Byrne

Banks are seeking to repossess 249 homes in Louth according to latest figures from the Courts Service.

The figures show that

290 civil bills for repossession had been lodged in 2014 with 41 of these bills successful meaning that 41 homes had been repossessed up to January 1, 2015.

That leaves 249 homes

are currently under threat and in danger of being repossessed this year. The figure of 290 repossession orders is the tenth highest of 26 counties named in the report.

In total there were 8164 cases of civil bills for repossession lodged across the 26 circuit courts up to and including January 1st this year. 1063 of these orders were granted, an average of

88 per month.

Last month the Central Bank broke down the amount of arrears on a county by county basis which showed that 16% of Louth home owners were in

Behaviour left a lot to be desired A man who admitted his behaviour left a lot to be desired when he is drinking, told Dundalk District Court that he couldn’t remember

the events that led to his arrest on public order charges.

Andrew Clarke of 19 Castle Heights, Castletown Road, Dundalk,

pleaded guilty to two charges as a result of the incident on February 4 this year.

Evidence was given that on that date Gardai

Solicitor, Paula Tiernan, stated that her client couldn’t remember the events on the night but accepts that he was in-

toxicated and is sorry for his actions.

Man makes quick return to court A man who had charges against him dismissed at Dundalk District Court made a quick reappearance in front of the judge after his high spirits developed into a public order offence.

Padraig Kieran of Dunbin, Knockbridge, Dundalk, pleaded guilty to the offence on February 18 but was spared a conviction after he made a contribution to the local Garda Youth Liaison Fund and apologised to the judge.

The court heard that during the course of court the defendant became loud and when asked to

keep quiet he became verbally abusive to Gardai and members of the public.

He was asked to stop again and became aggressive towards Gardai who arrested him on a charge of threatening and abusive behaviour.

Solicitor, Frank McDonnell, stated that one of the ironies of the case was the Mr Kieran had reason to be in court, but that reason had “gone away”.

“He had been out the previous night, had drink taken and was in good humour. It was evident that

he had more than was good for him and something that started as banter got noisy. He was asked to be quiet but had to be taken out and arrested”, explained Mr McDonnell.

Judge Deirdre Gearty stated that she would deal with the case using the Probation Act if €100 was paid and recommended a note of apology to Judge Flann Brennan.

The money was paid the following week and the defendant was given the benefit of the Probation Act.

Tom urges men to join Sheds

By Paul Byrne

Dundalk’s oldest ‘shedder’ has called on men around County Louth to improve their lives by joining up with the Men’s Shed.

Tom ‘Muff’ Kerr, who is 87, has been a ‘Shedder’ since 2011 when the Dundalk shed in Seatown was officially opened by GAA legend Mícheál Ó Muircheartaigh. Since joining the Shed he has learned many new skills such as pottery and woodwork as well as making new friends and having plenty of laughs. And according to the man himself ‘A day without laughter is a day lost’ “I would strongly recommend any man around the area to go and

Men’s Sheds members and right, Tom ‘Muff’ Kerr

join their local shed. I can guarantee that when they join they will soon have a smile on their face, a spring in their step and maybe even improve their chances of qualifying for the President’s cheque”, laughed Tom. “There are about 50 or 60 members in the

Dundalk’s men’s sheds and you couldn’t find a better bunch of lads anywhere. Our co-ordinator is Eva Beirne and she is fantastic. The well being of her golden oldies is always her priority. If any shed in Ireland has a co-ordinator even half as good as Eva they are doing well”, he added.

Last year the Dundalk Men’s shed were rewarded at the National Shed awards were they were named ‘Best Shed in Ireland’. Tom recently became the first Irish shedder to address an Australian shed when he was invited to the Brookfield Shed in Brisbane in 2012.

Call to upgrade cycle lane Castletown Girls’ School

Adelphi Court car park ad_Layout 1 10/03/2015 11:29

LOCAL councillor Mark Dearey is calling for the design of the cycle lane on Chapel Street to be reviewed by Louth County Council.

The cycle lane, which runs from The Century Bar in Roden Place as far as the CBS primary school, needs to be upgraded, according to Cllr Dearey.

“A number of people have come to me about the cycle lane because it has fallen into a state of disrepair,” he said.

“There was a commitment from the road section to reand redesign Pageview 1

Chapel Street around the time that Dundalk Town Council was merged into the Municipal District but the issue got lost during the transition.

“Some of the more flexible bollards are missing because they have been knocked over by vehicles.

It’s important to redesign the cycle network to better link the schools”, Cllr Dearey added.

“There are other ways of demarcating a cycle lane. It’s been almost a year.

It’s very disappointing. I’m hoping for a quick response”, concluded Cllr Dearey.

celebrated Safer Internet Day Castletown Girls’ School celebrated Safer Internet Day on Tuesday February 10 during which class took part in various workshops and activities to promote a safer internet for all users.

New chapter opens at St Francis NS

St Francis NS in Blackrock had an extra reason to celebrate Word Book Day on March 5, as on they day they held the official opening of the new school library “The Corcoran Library”, dedicated to Blackrock resident, Joe Corcoran. Although he had been invited to cut the ribbon to open the library, he was unaware it had been dedicated in his honour, and that his family and friends had all been invited along to join pupils, parents and staff in the celebration.

Principal, Oreena Lawless said “Joe was a driving force behind the founding of our school eight years ago, is a key member of the first Board of Management and to this day remains a loyal friend to our school. It is only fitting that the library be named after him in recognition of his passion for learning and literature, and for all he has done over the years

Two men who were discovered by Gardai attempting to remove a generator from the site of a former supermarket had charges of theft and trespass against them dismissed at Dundalk District Court.

Danny Sherry of 398 Cypress Gardens, Bay Estate, Dundalk, and Gerard Bradley of 1 Slieve Foy, Muirhevnamor, Dundalk, denied the charges and told the court that they believed they were doing work for a man they believed had permission to take the item.

Judge Deirdre Gearty ruled

that there hadn’t been sufficient evidence given in relation to the ownership of the generator and that the case hadn’t been proven beyond reasonable doubt.

A representative of the management company that is responsible for the former Superquinn unit at Carroll Village stated that no permission had been given to anyone to remove the generator which was estimated to be worth €10,000.

The court heard evidence from Mickey Flynn, a former manager at the centre who

now looks after maintenance and the car park, that he opened up the car park on Friday August 30, 2013, but he went to Donegal for the weekend later that morning.

His friend looked after the car park and locked up, before Mr Flynn’s son collected the keys.

He recalled that two weeks earlier a man named Paul had approached him and stated that he had done a deal to purchase the generator. He asked about getting transport for the item and gave him a phone number.

Mr Flynn passed on this number to Danny Sherry, stating that there might be work in it for him. He knew Mr Sherry from doing security around town, and added that he didn’t tell his employers about the man.

The court heard from Brendan Feeney whose business is to remove large items of machinery. He was contacted by a man called Pat to remove the generator, and he had no reason to think it was anything untoward. He was in the middle of removing the generator with the defendants

when the Gardai arrived.

Mr Sherry and Mr Bradley were arrested and told Gardai that they were there to do a day’s work, although they didn’t say who had employed them.

The defence solicitors argued that ownership of the item had to be established for a theft to take place and the representative of the management company hadn’t done so. They also argued that intent to trespass hadn’t been established as they believed at all times they had permission to be there.

Junior Achievement Over the past three years more than 600 students from local primary and secondary schools have benefited from the advice and experience of business volunteers from Prometric, Dundalk.

Through a variety of Junior Achievement programmes, Prometric volunteers brought a wealth of business experience into the classroom to help the students identify the relationships between education, business operations and economic issues in Ireland.

Prometric business volunteer, Caoimhe Bren-

nan-O’Donoghue recently delivered the Junior Achievement ‘Our Nation’ programme, which was praised by Mairéad Mohan, Development Officer, Junior Achievement Border Counties.

“In this in-depth and action-packed programme, students role-play business ownership, produce a product using different methods of production, look at the costs associated with running a business, create product advertisements, and take charge of their own businesses to make a profit”, explained Mairead.

Launch of Genesis programme

Minister for Children and Youth Affairs, Dr James Reilly, TD today officially launched The Genesis Programme to a packed audience at Dundalk’s Crowne Plaza Hotel.

The Genesis Programme is a consortium of some 50 Partner Organisations and will deliver The Incredible Years suite of programmes to children, families and communities in Dundalk and Drogheda.

The Incredible Years is a series of interlocking, evidence-based programmes for children, their parents and their teachers, supported by over 30 years of research. The goal is to prevent and treat young children’s behavioural problems and promote

their social, emotional and academic competence. The programme was developed in the University of Washington in Seattle by Dr. Carolyn Webster-Stratton. Whilst each programme has been designed as a stand-alone intervention, taken together, they provide a cohesive and uniform strategy to address and eliminate behavioural difficulties in children.

The launch event also contained a series of interactive workshops which showcased a number of the different strands of The Incredible Years suite of programmes that are being delivered as part of The Genesis Programme.

Orla calls for support to turn town purple

Dundalk Leader 11th March 2015

By Eunan Whyte

A local woman who is trying to turn Dundalk purple to raise funds for the Irish Cancer Society has urged people to back the event which takes place tomorrow, Thursday March 12.

Orla Crilly from Pearse Park has recruited 60 volunteers to join her in having their hair dyed purple and hopes that the people of Dundalk will support the initiative.

The mother of six from Pearse Park, who lost her mother Vera to breast cancer

18 years ago, has enlisted the help of local hairdressers for the event.

“The response has been great so far as we have 60 volunteers, including a husband and wife, along with a group of 15 from the Youth Centre. Stephen O’Donnell from Dundalk FC has also got involved and we hope to have other players joining in as well.

“All we need now is for people to donate and there are many ways to do that.

You can sponsor somebody who is getting their hair dyed, or put money in the buck-

ets that will be all over town on Thursday, while you can donate online at “Turn Dundalk Purple” on mycharity.ie”, explained Orla.

“We have got great support across the town and for the occasion the Town Hall will fly a purple flag, while Fyffes have donated bananas to keep the hardworking barbers and hairdressers going”, she added.

Anyone looking for further information on the event can contact Orla at 0872797901.

Time to try cricket Man used fuel card belonging to former boss A man who felt he was owed money by a former employer, used a fuel card belonging to his former boss to fill his car on four occasions.

Armands Paudrups Pauders of 190 Glenwood, Dundalk, who pleaded guilty to four counts of theft between November

16 and December 2 2013, was given the benefit of the Probation Act after the court heard that the €390.46 compensation had been paid.

It was stated in evidence that the defendant had access to the fuel car while working but after he handed in his notice, the

employer noticed strange activity on the card.

The defendant was seen on CCTV filling his car using the fuel card and he initially denied knowledge until shown the footage.

Solicitor Sean T O’Reilly handed in a cheque in compensation and stated that the young married

man felt he was owed money.

“He realises that he shouldn’t have done this and I don’t think he will come back before court again”, stated Mr O’Reilly who added that the defendant was now working for a member of the injured party’s family.

With the Cricket World Cup in it’s stride and Ireland doing well, if you have ever been curious about the game it may well be worth your while giving Dundalk Cricket Club a look.

The season starts at the end of April and as always the club is on the hunt for new players.

The club has already begun its programme of indoor net training on Tuesday evenings at the Royal Armagh School and the ground will also open up shortly for outdoor sessions.

It’s not too often that you get Zorro and the Snow Queen sitting at the same desk as Little Red Riding Hood and Cinderella, but that is exactly what happened at Castletown Girls School on Friday.

The reason for this unique gathering was that the pupils were celebrating World Book Day and Grace Gonnelly, Yazmin Toth, Mary Kate Reilly and Grace Cooney were among those who dressed as characters from their favourite books.

All pupils made a huge effort for the dressup day which was the culmination of a week of events at the school designed to encourage students to read more.

Once again it was a big success according to principal, Marian McNally, and literacy co-ordinator and deputy principal, Eilish Donohoe.

The whole idea is to get children reading more and to encourage them to try books they haven’t read before. We have had book reviews, competitions and shared reading where the older classes read with the younger children, and we also have the children talking about their favourite characters so it has been a great success”, explained Eilish.

Day is celebrated on the fourth Sunday in the Christian fasting month of Lent and as in scores of other countries, people in Ireland try to repay their Mothers on the occasion of Mothers Day for all their love and affection.

The history of celebrating Mothering Sunday or Mothers' Day in Ireland can be traced to the medieval practice where children from poor families were sent to work as domestic servants and apprentices to work with the rich. Once in

the year in the middle of the Lent these children were given a day off to visit their 'Mother Church' and worship the Virgin Mary. After visiting the Mother Church or Cathedral of their home town these children visited their Mothers and presented them with flowers they picked along the way.

Girls baked a special Mothering Cake on the day.

The pattern of living changed after the Industrial Revolution and Mothering Sunday celebrations almost lapsed. The custom was revived after World War II. Americans led

the way in bringing back the charm of the festival to European countries as their tradition and way of celebrating Mothers Day spread far and wide.

On Mothers' Day, people in Ireland present flowers, gifts and cards to their Mammys. Many will take her out for dinner or lunch and it has been known to pamper her with breakfast in bed. Gifts are given to mothers with love from caring children.

Programmes, plays and skits are organised at several places in honour of Mothers.

There are many ways to celebrate Mother’s Day and aside from treating her to a nice gift, here are some ideas on what to do.

Start off with providing breakfast in bed as there are many great recipes to create a meal to make it the perfect beginning to Mothers; Day. Set aside all other plans and treat the Mother in your life as a Queen for the day.

Turn the day into a one-day adventure to someplace special.

Grab the whole family and do something special. Spending the time together is what really counts.

You might consider trying to gather all the grandparents, great grandparents, aunts and uncles and other family members together for a joint celebration.

Remember, giving Mammy the day off could be the best gift of all. Encourage everyone to pitch in and let your Mum sit back and relax. They deserve it!

St Vincents students maintain record in fashion competition

Students Aoife O’Malley and Katie Dalton at the Junk Kouture Eastern Regional Final.

SAINT Vincent’s Art Department continued their successful record in Junk Kouture this week as two of their costumes made it through to the Grand Final of the prestigious fashion competition.

Four creations from the school were chosen from over 900 entries to take part in the Eastern Regional Final which took place in The Helix theatre in DCU. Over 80 designs were featured in the show, which is one of four regional heats, with 20 lucky entrants progressing to the final which will be held in the 3 Arena in April.

Transition Year stu-

dents Katie Dalton, Nicole Mackle, Stephanie Bailey and Aoife Gonneally designed and created the dramatic ‘On Point’ which they have been working on since September which will feature in the Grand Final alongside the wonderful ‘Wingin It’, which features over 2,000 badminton shuttle-cocks made by team-

mates Eimear McCoy, Aoife O’Malley, Ornagh Owens and Aine Reilly.

Art teachers Carmel Clyne and Caoimhe Woods were delighted with the girls success and hope to continue St. Vincent’s outstanding record in Junk Kouture, as they have had costumes in the Grand Final for four years in a row.

McKenna 2nd Birthday Rememberance In loving memory of Pearse McKenna, whose birthday occurs on Tuesday, 17th March.

Thinking of you on your birthday, With sadness in our hearts, For a very special person, From whom we had to part.

Those special memories of you will always bring a smile, If only we could have you back for just a little while, Then we could talk and laugh again just like we used to do.

You always meant so very much and always will do too, The fact that you’re no longer here will always cause such pain, But you’re forever in our hearts until we meet again.

—Missing you with all our hearts, your wife Sheena, daughter Taragh and all the McKenna family.

Casey 9th Anniversary In loving memory of Margaret Casey, whose 9th Anniversary occurs on the 13th March.

So many years have, Gone and passed, But in our Hearts, You’ll forever last.

—Sadly missed by your son, Kevin and daughters Lorraine and Sharon.

—Anniversary Mass on 15th March In the Holy Family Church at 12.30 pm.

Gerry’s book is a new departure Local Sinn Fein TD, Gerry Adams, has written many books on his political vision over the years, but in a new departure offers a departure from his previous style.

The title of the new book – Ireland: One Island No Borders – may have a familiar theme but this publica-

tion is a collection of captivating photos of Ireland by Irish American photographer, Elizabeth Billups, with the local TD providing the text.

Elizabeth is a human rights activist Elizabeth Billups and the photographs were taken during her many visits back home to Ireland.

The comments from Gerry Adams encompass some of his personal family stories and anecdotes, relevant historical details, legends, and myths.

The book will be launched in Dundalk Library on Friday March 13 from 2pm to 3pm.

Marist students ready for parade The Transition Year students of St Marys College are in the process of creating a 14 foot statue of St Patrick as an attraction in this year’s St Patrick’s Day Parade.

The 34 transition year students along with their art teachers, Linda Bailey and Alice Collins, collected all the materials themselves to make the statue when they began in January of this year.

The entire statue is made from cardboard and papier mache on a wire frame that sits on top of a trolley so it can be rolled along

From page 1 We heard that Rosie was being held in the back garden of a house in Dundalk. When I called and said I was from the Louth SPCA someone shouted to me to hold on a minute and the next thing Rosie was put over the wall and ran to me,” explained Fiona.

“She is unharmed, quite excited to be playing at the shelter with her friends and looking forward to getting a forever home. We really need to thank everyone for all their efforts”, Fiona continued.

In her short life, Rosie has already experienced plenty of drama as this was the second occasion that she was rescued.

In September of last year, the Louth SPCA along with Gardai

rescued Rosie from what was described as a ‘neglectful situation’.

“She had mange and was not eating properly when we got her. We spent months helping to transform her. She thrived under the care of Louth SPCA staff, and hadbeen looking fabulous”, concluded Fiona.
