Conor’s book inspired by his son 2

Dundalk Leader 14th February 2018

By Paul Byrne

Dundalk man Conor Nixon has just released his debut book which was inspired by the birth

of his son Theodore.

‘The Littlest Grape’ is a children’s book which tells the story of a little grape that falls off the bunch and gets itself

into trouble.

According to Conor the idea for the book came to him during his two weeks of paternity leave following the birth of his son.

“I’ve always enjoyed writing and I would have been ok at it when I was in school but I’ve never really thought about putting a book together before.

When Theodore was born I had two weeks of paternity leave and I decided to write down some words for a story to read to Theodore at night.

“I’ve been reading it to him since he was about two months old and he really seems to enjoy it. He perks up and listens to it intently when he hears me read-

ing the first line and it seems to put him in good form. If he’s crying I’ll read it to him and he’ll just stop. A few months ago my wife Michelle suggested I try and get the book published so I followed her advice and here we are.

“I had no idea on how to go about getting published so I started asking around and a friend of mine told me that Amazon have a system called CreateSpace where they will actually publish the book for you.

“I send them a pdf of the book and shortly afterwards ‘The Littlest Grape’ was available on Amazon to buy. I did all the illustrations in the book as well which was probably the hardest bit

of the whole process as it took me quite a while to do.

“The feeling I got when the finished book was delivered to my house was amazing. It was a proud moment for me to be able to hold the book in my hand.

I’ve kind of got the bug now and I’m already in the process of writing a second book.

“This one is more aimed at adults and is a kind of tongue in cheek self help book for people with big noses.

“I’m currently finishing that one now and I hope to have it out later this year,” revealed Conor.

Conor’s book ‘The Littlest Grape’ can be purchased through Conor Nixon and Theodore www.amazon.co.uk.

Michael Finnegan who owns both The Camelot Bar and Sean’s Tavern on Church St say that council officials are in danger of negatively impacting one of the busiest streets in Dundalk if they go ahead with their proposed plans.

“We have had a couple of meetings over the past week with traders, residents and councillors in attendance and the overwhelming feeling of the majority in the room was that there are serious issues that need to be addressed before we can get on board with the proposed plans to rejuvenate the area.

“We want to make it clear from the outset

that we are completely in favour of the rejuvenation of the area but it has to be done correctly.

We have major concerns that the plans in their current form are going to negatively affect what is currently a thriving area of Dundalk.

“Our main issues are the reduction of parking spaces in the area and road management issues which are going to cause bottlenecks in the area.

“The council’s report states that parking spaces will be reduced from 154 to 136 which is a loss of 18 spaces.

We have done a count ourselves and we calculated that it will be closer to thirty parking spaces lost,” explained

“That is going to prove disastrous for the businesses down here.

If you stand outside and observe the traffic going down Church Street you will see that there is a regular pattern of cars stopping on the street to park before nipping in to one or two shops to get their bits and pieces. That will be lost with these new developments.

“Even myself in the Camelot pub would have a regular flow of elderly people coming into me in the morning for a cup of tea or coffee and a chat. They pull outside the pub in a taxi and come in but they will not be able to do that with the redesign.

Louth TD Gerry Adams officially stepped down as leader of Sinn Fein at the party’s special conference in the RDS on Saturday.

Deputy Adams, who has been representing the county since 2011, led the party for over 34 years and has been replaced by Mary Lou McDonald.

He announced his plans to retire in November of last year when he stated at the Ard Fheis that it was time for him to pass the baton to the new generation of Sinn Féin politicians.

Mr Adams also announced that he would not be standing as a candidate at the next GenGerry Adams eral Election.

“There is also the issue of the narrowing of the roads which is going to be a disaster for this area which sees a lot of big lorry’s coming up and down the street with deliveries.

“The removal of the existing link road between Fair Green Road and Linenhall Street is going to cause absolute chaos down in that area with all the traffic coming down one street to get into town.

“We have a number of concerns which we will submit into the Town

Hall before the deadline at the end of the month. I hope that the council officials will take our concerns on board. There are a number of long established businesses on Church St. who have serious concerns about these plans having a negative impact on their livelihoods.

“We will continue to state these concerns and we just have to hope that common sense prevails and they can at least meet us half way on these issues,” stated Michael.

Monastery National School’s Green Flag Day of Action Monastery National School Ardee held their Green Schools Day of Action for their new Green Schools Flag on Friday January 19. The School is hoping to earn its seventh Green Flag for Global Citizenship: Energy this year. Visitors and members of the entire school community were welcomed to the School’s PE.hall to witness the fantastic array of work on display from classes across the school. Members of

the local Tidy Towns’ Committee were also in attendance along with parents of pupils.

The School’s Environmental Committee spoke about their investigations and findings on a variety of environmental topics related to the theme of Global Citizenship: Energy.

Committee members were keen to inform us about the importance of looking after our environment in every way we can. They also remarked on how much

fun they had researching and presenting their fantastic projects.

First Class was quick to tell all about the incredible Barn Owl and its features. They explained that deforestation and intensive farming is causing widespread loss of food and habitat for this magnificent species..

Second Class was up next with a fantastic collection of tips for saving energy. These practical points would be easily implemented in many

homes and schools in the local community.

Third Class delved into the effect that Climate Change is having on our weather system while Fourth Class did incredible research into Crayola Twistables and the plastic waste asso-

ciated with them.

Fifth Class reported on the carbon footprint of various foods and talked about the air miles that certain foods create via their transportation.

Sixth Class members addressed the crowd

and spoke about the effects of animal agriculture is having on our environment.

Overall a very educational day was had by all and the boys were quick to offer clever solutions to some of the key environmental

issues facing us today.

Their enthusiasm and passion for our planet was palpable. Well done to all the boys who took part in this amazing research and presented these exciting facts to their school community.

Pupils from Monastery NS celebrating Green Flag Day of Action

Caolan impresses in South Africa event Caolan Rafferty was the second best placed Irishman at the South African Strokeplay Championship which was held at Pecanwood Golf Club last week.

Rafferty finished in joint 26th place on -11, which was four shots behind Alex Gleeson of Castle. The tournament was won

by Sweden’s Oliver Gillberg who shot a phenomenal 27 under par to win by one shot.

Rafferty found himself six shots off the lead after an opening round of two under par 70 wich included four birdies.

He fell further behind after the second round when he shot a 71 to make the half-way cut on -3 which was 12 shots off the lead.

That left him tied for 49th place but he moved up two plac-

es after posting a two under par 70 in the third round. Rafferty recovered from a dreadful start as he double bogeyed the opening hole and went on to shoot six birdies as well as two bogeys.

That suggested he was beginning to acclimatise to the conditions and he proved it in the final round when he carded his best round of the week, a six-under par 66, and climbed 21 places up the leaderboard to finish on -11.

The tournament left Rafferty with plenty of positives as all four rounds were under par and he managed to throw in a low one as well. He now heads, along with his Irish team-mates, to Glendower Golf Club for the African Strokeplay Championship which runs from Tuesday

to Friday.

The closing date for entries for the Winter League sponsored

by Tiernans Centra Blackrock is Friday, February 16. The entry is €5 and entries should be placed in the box in the Club Bar with full names and handicap written on the envelope.

The Captain’s Drive-in takes place on Sunday week, February 25 and with the centrepiece of a day that starts with 9am shotgun start for a Four Man Scramble.

It will be followed by two nine hole Mixed Scotch Foursomes competitions down the front and back nines with a 1.30pm shotgun start. The timesheets for all three competitions open on Thursday, February 15, at 11am on the BRS System.

Kaziukas Fair (Lithuanian– Kaziuko Mugė) – is an annual Lithuanian folk crafts fair dating back to the beginning of the 17th Century.

Down Syndrome cuts affect local families A number of families in the local community are set to be affected by cuts to vital funding which will affect the education of children with Down Syndrome.

The Louth/Meath Branch of Down Syndrome Ireland was recently informed by the Health Service Executive that a National Lottery Grant that part funds an Early Intervention Therapy Programme for preschool children with Down syndrome will be cut by €15,000 or 60% to €10,000 in 2017.

This is the second time in

three years that the HSE have attempted to cut this vital grant by 60%. In 2014, 2015 and 2016, the Louth / Meath Branch received a National Lottery Grant of €25,000 towards the cost of this vital programme. The Early Intervention Therapy Programme is a programme for preschool children with Down syndrome in Counties Louth and Meath.

There are currently 52 children enrolled on this vital programme. The programme consists of early intervention specialists visiting the home of the child with Down syn-

drome for 1 hour 30 minutes to 2 hours every fortnight throughout the school year.

The early intervention specialist works with the parents and child within the family structure, providing a wealth of information and knowledge that ultimately seeks to enable the child to reach his or her full potential.

Bernie Bradley from Seatown in Dundalk spoke about how her daughter Jinny had benefitted from the Early Intervention Programme which provided her with one on one teaching before she

went into mainstream education.

“I think this is a very shortsighted move by the HSE as they don’t seem to realise that this programme actually ends up saving them money in the long term. We haven’t used a speech therapist in over two years and that’s down to the early intervention programme.

The programme has been invaluable for Jinny and allowed her to learn at home in familiar surroundings which made her feel more comfortable. Jinny would be a bit shy so it was brilliant to have this service in

the house as it lends to a better environment for my daughter to learn. Jinny has made huge progress over the last three years in this programme and I would ask the HSE to look at how this programme is benefitting them rather than try and cut it. In the grand scheme of things this programme does not cost much and it seems as if they are looking for an easy target,” stated Bernie.

The programme has absolutely no administration costs, as the programme is managed by parents of children with Down syndrome on a

completely voluntary basis.

In 2015 the HSE reversed its decision to cut this vital grant by 60%, due to the outrage generated by attempting to cut a grant for a programme aimed at enabling some of the most vulnerable people in society – pre-school children with Down syndrome.

The Louth/Meath branch of Down Syndrome Ireland have urged the HSE to reverse these cuts and have warned that if they fail to do so the programme will have to be curtailed.

87 schools in Louth to receive €848k for computer equipment Some 87 schools in Louth will receive a total of €848k funding for computer equipment, a Fine Gael TD has said.

The grant, which will be received by all schools built prior to 2014, is worth in excess of €4,100 for a 100 pupil school and almost €13,000 for a 500 pupil school at primary level.

At post-primary level, the grant is worth almost €18,000 for a 500 student school, and over €33,000 for a 1,000 student school.

Deputy Peter Fitzpatrick said: “I am delighted to announce that 87 schools in Louth will receive a total of €848k funding for computer equipment.

“The funding can be spent on desktop PCs, laptops, tablets or hybrid devices. Schools can also purchase projectors and cloudbased tools and software applications to support learning.

“I know this will make a huge difference to school communities at both primary and secondary level across Louth, and will help equip children and teenagers with the skills they need for the future.

“Digital technology can transform the way people learn, encouraging curiosity, exploration and creative thinking. These are the capabilities our young people will need in the future.

“Critical, creative think-

ing, problem solving skills and adaptability will be key to flourishing in this environment and we need to make sure our young people are well prepared.

“Our Digital Strategy for Schools sets out a clear vision that is focussed on realising the potential of digital technologies to transform the learning experiences of students. While we are introducing coding and computer science into the curriculum, we must also invest in the ICT infrastructure of our schools.

Extreme Weather Bill would protect workers—Adams Sinn Féin TD for Louth Gerry Adams TD is cosponsoring a Sinn Féin Bill that aims to protect citizens at work from travelling during adverse weather conditions.

The Bill is entitled ‘Extreme Weather Warning (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2018’. It is cosponsored by his party colleagues Imelda Munster TD and David Cullinane

TD. Both Teachta Munster and Teachta Cullinane introduced the bill in the Dáil last week on behalf of the party Gerry Adams is calling on the government to support the Sinn Féin initiative. It will provide guidelines for public sector employers and selfemployed persons in the event of an extreme weather warning being enacted.

The legislation would also impose penalties on those engaged in reckless behaviour in the midst of a severe weather warning.

Teachta Adams said: “In the immediate aftermath of Storm Ophelia, the Taoiseach acknowledged that there was confusion regarding what actions private sector employers, employees and self-employed persons should take when

a severe weather warning was enacted. There was a clear plan in place for closing schools and public offices.

“However, three people, including Fintan Goss from Ravensdale, tragically lost their lives. Lessons must be learned in the aftermath of Storm Ophelia.

“The aim of this Sinn Féin Bill is to ensure the safety of employers and

employees during extreme weather. It would provide clear and concise guidelines, avoiding the utter confusion that many employers and employees were left to deal with in the absence of such legislation.

“Storm Ophelia was the worst storm to hit the island of Ireland in more than 50 years. Despite the stark warnings and tragic

loss of life, we still had alarming public safety incidents. I am sure that people will recall the images of kite surfers and swimmers engaging in seriously reckless behaviour.

This Bill would see penalties imposed on people engaged in this reckless behaviour. It would also strengthen the power of Gardaí to pursue this behaviour under law.”

Ryan to tackle Kilimanjaro in aid of Cystic Fibrosis

d y t d

By Paul Byrne

.A young man from Ravensdale is preeparing to take on the smonumental challenge oof climbing Kilimanjaro this summer in -order to raise money for a cause very close to his heart.

Ryan Doherty is currently fundraising for his trip to Kilimanjaro where he will attempt to scale Africa’s highest mountain in June.

All the money Ryan raises is going towards Cystic Fibrosis Ireland which aims to advance Cystic Fibrosis care in Ireland. According to Ryan he was inspired to take on the challenge by his young cousin who has the disease.

“My little 11-year old cousin, Cathal Gallagher, has Cystic Fibrosis and I just wanted to do something which will help those in Ireland who suffer with the disease. He’s my next-door neighbour and he has a fantastic attitude which inspires

Ryan Doherty with his cousin Cathal Gallagher

me daily. He doesn’t let cystic fibrosis hold him back whatsoever.

He plays football with Bellurgan Utd and trains in martial arts and just goes about his life refusing to let his condition define him,” explained Ryan.

“It was actually a bit weird how the idea came about as just before Christmas I had a dream that I did a Skydive for my cousin to help raise money for Cystic Fibrosis. Two days later I saw a post on facebook with all

the details of the Kilimanjaro climb and I thought that it had to be a sign. I looked into it immediately and here I am.

“I aim to raise both money and awareness from climbing Kilimanjaro and I have set up a Go Fund Me page to help me raise the €4500 which I need in order to climb Kilimanjaro.

“I only started fundraising at the end of January and I have already managed to raise €560 which I am

very happy with and I’d like to thank everybody who has supported me so far.

“I plan on holding fundraising events around Louth over the next few months starting with a pub quiz in the Granvue Hotel in Omeath on the 16th of February (This Friday).

“Apart from the money I will also require some gear ie boots, bag, clothes etc.

I would greatly appreciate it if anyone could donate anything towards this campaign,” stated Ryan.

If anybody would like to support Ryan on his quest to raise money for Cystic Fibrosis they can go to his go fund me page at https://www.gofundme. com/kilimanjaro-hikecystic-fibrosis.

If anybody has any questions for Ryan or would like to donate hiking gear or enquire about corporate sponsorship they can contact him at ryandoherty94@hotmail.com.

Stephen is looking forward to challenge of the new season

By Paul Byrne

Dundalk manager Stephen Kenny says he and his team are excited ahead of the 2018 season which begins on Friday evening with a home game against Bray.

Stephen has masterminded the most successful period in the club’s history with the Lilywhites winning three league titles in a row as well as an FAI cup and two league cups. There has also been a hugely successful European campaign which saw Dundalk become the first ever Irish side to pick up points in the group stages of the Europa League.

And it hasn’t just been on the pitch where Dundalk have been making headlines either. The club were recently taken over

by American consortium Peak 6 who assumed full control of the club taking over from previous owners Andy Connolly and Paul Browne. The new owners met up with the fans at a packed meeting in the YDC last week where they were got to outline some of their plans for the club going forward.

According to Stephen he is

Dundalk manager, Stephen Kenny

glad that the deal has been completed and his sole focus now is to get his team ready for the new season.

“We are all very excited about the beginning of a new season.

It’s been a great period for the club and we plan on creating new memories for supporters to cherish. We finished second last year and obviously we want to

go one better this season. I think it is going to be tougher than ever to win it this season with the move to a ten team league.

Every game will be a battle and there will be no easy fixtures for anybody.

“We’ve lost some very good players in the off season but we’ve also brought some very good ones in and I would hope to bring in at least two more before the transfer window shuts next week. We look forward to welcoming Bray to Oriel Park this Friday evening and I feel it’s very important we start off with a victory. They beat us here last season so we will be out for a bit of revenge. We had a poor start to the league last year and we need to make sure that doesn’t happen again.

“We have a few injuries and a flu virus which has swept through the club which has set us back a bit but we’re hopeful that we will be ready and raring to go for Friday evening. The support since I’ve been here has been magnificent and hopefully that will continue this season, starting in Oriel Park on Friday evening,” stated Stephen.

The committee set up to organise the centenary commemorations for the 100th Anniversary of the sinking of the SS Dundalk held their first meeting in the County Museum on Tuesday February 6. The committee which comprises of relatives of those who lost their lives and those who survived, along with some who have taken an avid interest in the story of the stricken vessel down through the years.

The aim of the committee is to organise a series of events that will retell the story, honour all those who travelled on the SS Dundalk on that day and create a lasting memory. The planned events include: Ecumenical service in St Patrick’s; Erection of a permanent memorial in the town; Exhibition at the County Museum; Series of lectures; Book/DVD. The committee will be actively looking for sponsorships and donations to fund the programme of events, and a bank account is being set up if people wish to

donate or sponsor please get in touch with any member of the committee.

The committee are also asking for help, to gather as much information and memorabilia as possible, pictures, records and mementoes, all will be cared for and appreciated.

Author Alan Bogan who coauthored ‘The Louth Volunteers 1916’ is seeking help from relatives of all those on board the SS Dundalk, and he emphasised how important it is to record the stories of the people involved. “We are looking for stories that relate to those who lost their lives, those who survived, and the stories that recount the reasons why some were supposed to travel but didn’t or were unable to (flu was epidemic in the area at the time)”.

Alan also mentions that “so many others were involved after the tragedy, be it to organise the fund to look after the families affected, or those that organised the memorial plate and window in St Patrick’s”. “All stories involving

the SS Dundalk are relevant and will be credited to the person or family that give us the story”.

If anyone finds it difficult to write the story, Alan can organise for it to be recorded or written on behalf of the family or individual, either way it is important to collect the information.

If you are related to any of the persons listed below, or indeed to anyone who was involved in some way at the time please get in touch with Alan Bogan Email: albogan@gmail.com Mobile no: 0877694872; Anne Howard Email: ssdundalk@hotmail.com Mobile no: 0861081257.

Team Blue open up a lead but Maddy Hoey steals the show The Snooker League moved on to week four last Wednesday with ‘Team Blue’ taking on ‘Team Green’ in the night’s opening game.

Maddy Hoey was first up for Team Green and he produced a scintillating display knocking in breaks of 42, 38 and 26 in what was easily the performance of the season thus far in opening a 1-0 lead for his team leaving Keith Morris in his seat for the most part of the opening frame.

Maddy’s fine display was as good as it got for the Greens however with Liam Johnston putting yet another fantastic display against a resilient Justin McArdle to level proceedings for the Blues.

The Blues momentum continued in frame three with Paddy Hayes (Blue) beating Patsy Muckian (Green) in a frame decided by a length of the table black from Hayes.

The final doubles match say Hayes and Johnston for the Blues against McArdle and Muckian for the Greens and it was Hayes

and Johnston who played fine stuff firing the Blues to the top of the league in a great 3-1 win.

In the next match of the evening Team Yellow took on Team Brown with Tiernan Mallon (Yellow) taking on David McArdle (Brown).

In a nip and tuck frame it was Mallon who held his nerve recording a fine victory over McArdle to put the yellows one up. The fine form of the yellows continued in the second with Brendan O’Hanlon recording a fine win against Aaron Callan to put the yellows two in front.

In the third match Stephan O’Hanlon (Yellow) made sure of the victory by beating Mickey Kelly in convincing fashion.

In the final doubles match the Browns were playing as much for pride then anything else and Stephen McBride and Mark Laverty would restore that pride with a dominant doubles display with McBride notching a 52 break against the Yellows pairing of Anthony Fee and Patrick McArdle leaving the final score 3-1 in

favour of the Yellows.

In the final match of the night ‘Team Pink’ kept their unbeaten tag in a 2-2 stalemate with Team Black.

In the first game, Alan Thompson (Black) beat Gerry Rodgers (Pink) with a fine display of consistent scoring.

In the second game a missed black from Ken Byrne (Black) allowed Mickey Ralph to level proceedings for Team Pink. In the third frame a fine performance saw the Blacks restore their lead when Joe McEneaney beat Dominic O’Connor.

In the final doubles match of the contest it was Dominic O’Connor and Mickey Ralph for ‘Team Pink’ up against the Blacks pairing of Shane Gorham and Tomas Geroc. In a frame that could have went either way experience was the key with Ralph and O’Connor securing a fine point against a strong black side 2-2.

Next week the league takes a break as it falls on Valentines night.

Fiat Tipo celebrates the 30th birthday

On the 26 January, 1988 the Fiat Tipo was born.

The successor to the Fiat Ritmo, the original Tipo blended state-of-the-art technology with robustness, usability and practicality to conquered the C-segment. Those core values can still be seen in the model 30 years later.

Functionality and innovation The original Fiat Tipo was a truly innovative concept designed to be capable of superior handling, performance, comfort and safety without compromising practicality. It focused on ergonomics like no Fiat had ever before. It employed innovative manufacturing technologies and high-quality materials to guarantee reliability and quality, including a lightweight, corrosion-free plastic boot hatch.

The new Tipo proudly bears the name of its pre-

cursor, with which it shares the same spirit and DNA. The design philosophy too harks back to the original, offering best in class interior space and a clean-cut exterior. The streamlined and aerodynamic sides are common to both the original and today's model, as is

a large rear hatch, which on the modern Tipo houses a category-topping 440-litre boot (550-litre for station wagon version).

Throughout its life the interior has been designed to express the Tipo values of practicality, simplicity and functionality. Back

in 1988, the “Digit” trim level integrated a specifically designed digital instrument panel in the dashboard giving state-ofthe-art functionality and ergonomics, while providing excellent legibility.

Today all variants of the Tipo family are packed

with standard equipment, including 60/40 split folding rear seats and cruise control, to make life better for everyone on board.

This is a formula that has always characterised Fiat cars in the C-segment and is firmly rooted in the very DNA of the brand.

A complete family in a simple line-up The 1988 Fiat Tipo was made on one of the first modular platforms. Its chassis was the foundation for other Fiat models including the Fiat Tempra, of which a traditional saloon body and a stationwagon were available. 30 years later, the Fiat Tipo is available as a 4-door sedan, 5-door hatchback and as a station wagon offering drivers a choice of outstanding value cars to suit their needs.

The original Fiat Tipo debuted in 1988 with five petrol and diesel engine versions, capable of satisfying all the market needs of the day, and was offered in a choice of two trim levels. This simple and linear line-up mirrors the current range with a choice of three petrol and three diesel engines on offer, across four trim levels.

Building on this heritage, the Fiat Tipo was developed by a dedicated international team of more than 2,000 people over three years, clocking up more than 8.7 million kilometres in the most extreme climate, road and altitude conditions to offer a car ready to take on the challenges of daily life with all the awareness and the maturity of its first 30 years.

The Fiat Tipo range is available to order now priced from €16,745 for a Tipo Pop sedan with 1.4-litre 16v 95hp petrol engine.

Selected stock models of the Fiat Tipo can qualify for €3,500 Scrappage support or a 0% PCP finance offer for retail customers. For more information on the Fiat Tipo please visit www.fiat.ie or to locate your nearest Fiat dealer visit www.fiat.ie/ dealerlocator.
