taking part. In 2019, Scoil Mhuire began to explore new platforms and digital technologies. Understanding the importance of digital literacy for students and the key role of technology in the classroom, Mr O’Keeffe, the school’s IT coordinator, created bespoke videos to support their teachers and students. The work carried out by Principal Denis Keating and all the teachers in the development of digital skills across the entire school community helped Scoil Mhuire adapt to the new way of working when the Covid-19 pandemic accelerated the transition to digital and online platforms in March 2020.

Golf Classic Fundraiser for Castlemagner & Cecilstown Playground

Castlemagner & Cecilstown Playground group held their first fundraiser on Monday 6th June, which was highly successful with over 100 teams sponsored of which 70 teams played on the day.

Thanks also to Bob’s on the Green for their friendly service and welcome refreshment on the 19th hole! This is the first week of trading in Kanturk Golf Club for Bob’s on the Green and the committee would like to wish every success.

Millstreet Family Fun Day

The Millstreet Family Fun Day took place on Sunday 22nd May and was a great opportunity for families in the area to come together in Millstreet Town Park. Supported under the LEADER Funded Day of the Regions Initiative, this fun filled day included a real mix of entertainment. The day kicked off with Millstreet Pipeband opening the proceedings. There was face painting by volunteers from the local childcare facility, a clown and balloon artist along with live music on the day by a Blue Grass Band funded by Cork County Council. A special performance was put on by Ukrainian residents of the Green Glens which was lovely to see, and they closed their performance with a heartfelt thank you from all the Ukrainian refugees to the people of Duhallow. The event was a great opportunity for the local community volunteers to come together to organise an event for all those living in the community. Special thanks to Millstreet Town Park for making the park available for such a large community event. Massive thanks to Tom Corbett for this range of wonderful photos.

Rockchapel On The Feale The Rockchapel Development Association, together with the Rockchapel Heritage Group, are delighted to announce that we have been successful in a recent funding application to the Community Water Development Fund. A sum of €3,000 has been awarded to fund our community project which seeks to bring about improvements in water quality and raise public awareness of its importance. Both the aforementioned community groups recognise the importance of celebrating the river and its ecological importance, and have partnered up with both local national schools and preschool in a significant collaborative community effort. All three schools are to partake in an Aquatic & Biodiversity Engagement Programme. The premise of

The River Feale 10

The group puts their kick sampling skills to use the programme is to increase awareness of river corridor ecology and water quality, help reconnect the community with the river catchment, discuss best practice, and promote community initiatives on the River Feale. Signage outlining local river biodiversity is planned for the village itself. The River Feale rises in the Mullaghareirk Mountains in north west County Cork and rushes towards its maiden municipal encounter; the sleepy village of Rockchapel! It moves quickly, tucked behind dwellings and trees and reveals itself almost sheepishly for fleeting moments within the village itself. At either end of the village, the Feale is exposed to the wilds and ruggedness of hill and valley. The river is famed for its trout and salmon spawning pools, and along the river corridor it supports various birdlife. Alas, one such winged creature, the Dipper, finds its nesting spots compromised, where once it nestled in the cracks and crevices of stone constructed bridges, it now finds that most are inhospitable due to their rendered facades. To alleviate the Dipper’s woes, some simple drainage pipe constructs will be installed at local bridges. These nesting spots will be routinely monitored and hopefully will provide some

cheerful account of this shy bird. In 2021, a group of Rockchapel residents took part in the IRD Duhallow Water Biodiversity Training Course. After many months of online modules and a number of in-person fieldwork White Clawed Cray Fish days, the course culminated in the drafting of the River Feale Biodiversity Action Plan. Atlantic Salmon Fry This plan provided the basis for the grant application and compliments recent tree planting endeavours. The action plan has been developed to provide the knowledge, skills and capacity necessary to make a difference to the local water environment.

#CommunicatingEurope

What Europe Means To Us

This article was written by six Transition Year students from Millstreet Community School, Cathy Buckley, Clara O’Leary, Maeve Byrne, Rachel Gaffney, Madison Gallahue Murphy and Faye O’Sullivan. This group was formed as we volunteered to do a short presentation on behalf of the school in the Communicating Europe event on the 1st of February, facilitated by IRD Duhallow. There were three schools from the Duhallow area and two MEPs, Ms. Deirdre Clune and Mr. Billy Kelleher, on the call. The theme of this call was “What Europe means to you as Irish Citizens”. Firstly, what comes to mind when people mention Europe in our locality, the biggest event was the Eurovision in 1993. It took place in the Green Glens arena on the 15th of May. Niamh Kavanagh represented Ireland and won. People from all over Europe came to watch the song contest. Millstreet is famously known for hosting this as it was unusual to have such a big event in a small town rather than the capital city. It also brought us closer to our other European countries. Millstreet is also Ireland’s most complete equestrian venue. Every year they host showjumping, eventing and the mountain games. These normally take place every three years in either the green glens arena or Drishane Castle. Millstreet town has a wide variety of European cultures. In the recent past, Millstreet has had the highest proportion of polish nationals in Ireland. We also have a high percentage of Lithuanians, Romanians and many other European nationals here in Millstreet. Our twin town is Pommerit-le Vicomte in France.

The TY Class From Millstreet Community School

This makes us connected with different towns within Europe. We did a survey with the TYs in MCS to examine the knowledge of the pupils in our school. We asked them questions about the EU. Most of the questions we asked were European Parliament based. There are 11 European youth goals. Our project ties in with the first goal which is connecting EU with youth. This is because we did a survey with TY students about the European Union and gave them a presentation on the topic. Millstreet has a lot of involvement with Europe. We have a lot of different events here as well as a lot of different nationalities here. After doing this survey, we conclude that our TYs have some L-R: Development officer Stephanie Moynihan knowledge of the EU Maeve Byrne, Rachel Gaffney & Clara O’Leary but there is room to learn more.

The survey - Who is the leader of the EU? The majority of people answered this correctly. -In what year did Ireland join the European Union? Most people answered this correctly saying 1973, but there were a variety of different answers which shows a lack of knowledge about the EU in our school. -How many MEPs representing Ireland are there? It was clear from our survey that most people did not know the answer. -Do you feel undereducated about the EU? 22 people said yes, 3 said no and 14 said maybe -Would you be interested in learning more about the EU? 24 people said yes and 15 people said no.

IRD Duhallow supporting inclusivity in the classroom with dyslexia-friendly books

Author Shane Casey Thirty-five schools across Cork and Kerry will each receive a set of 4 dyslexia-friendly children’s books about Irish wildlife, thanks to IRD Duhallow CLG and Burren author, Shane Casey. Dyslexia affects, on average, 3 children in every class of 24. However, despite a significant increase in the awareness and understanding of the challenges faced, there remains limited resources available for the children themselves. Through the support of IRD Duhallow CLG, as part of the Social Inclusion and Community Activation Programme, one collection of Irish published books, the Nature’s Adventures collection, is working to buck this trend. Speaking about the dyslexiafriendly elements of the book’s design and layout, author Shane Casey says, “they’re only little changes, but they make a huge difference. We use a combination of special font, colour schemes, and layout to make it easier for children with dyslexia to read. Little things, like avoiding a double space after a full stop, prevents white lightning on the page. Or left aligning the text instead of justifying it, makes it easier to see

Old Custom of Dancing at the Cros

Marian and Tomas Barrett of Lombardstown, regulars at Laharn Cross The old tradition and historic custom of open air cross roads dancing will resume at Laharn Cross, Lombardstown, Mallow on Sunday, 5th June 2022. Crossroad dancing was popular up to the mid 20th century, and was very much what it sounds like. Compared to the later Ceili Styles, crossroads dances were generally set dancing or solo dancing. The tradition was incredibly popular, though this declined as the rural areas lost locals and musical recording became more popular. As well as this, the Public Dance Halls act of 1935 resulted in dances being confined to licensed establishments. However, the tradition has weaved its way back into the culture, and prior to Covid-19, Laharn was a regular spot. The return of traditional Irish music and dance is long awaited for after a two year period where no dancing took place at the Crossroads due to the pandemic. Situated on the foot of Baelic Mountain in the heart of North Cork, Laharn Cross is the location where people gather each and every Sunday night throughout the summer months from 8 – 10pm.

Large crowds will step it out on the raised timber platform to dance the night away to live music to bands such as Denis Hickey & the Marino Band, C & M Sound, The Singing Jarvey plus many, many more. Waltzes, quicksteps, foxtrots, not to mention polkas, shoe the donkey, and the siege of Ennis will be the order of the evening for the hundreds of enthusiastic dancers who gather for two hours to dance the night at this historic crossroads whose name is rapidly becoming a household word throughout Munster. Mary P. O’Sullivan, Chairperson of Laharn Community Action CLG said

DiscoverDuhallow@irdduhallow.com

“We are thrilled to be re-opening at Laharn Cross this June Bank Holiday weekend. We have missed it greatly over the last two year but public health and the health of our patrons comes first. The tradition of dancing at the crossroads is alive and well here at Laharn Cross and we are looking forward to everyone returning and seeing both young and old taking part. We look forward to a great summer of entertainment. Everyone is invited; the fun is free, though we do ask people to contribute a few euros in the donation boxes which go towards the cost of the live bands”. Don’t be feared about wet summer evenings – it’s only a ‘quick skip and jive’ away from Laharn Heritage Centre where the dancing can continue if the weather isn’t favourable. The centre is located about one kilometre away from Laharn Cross.

Why is the summer break-away so important for our mental health? Firstly, the time off provides us with a break from our regular routine. This everyday routine carries a lot of responsibilities and obligations that can cause stress to build. An annual break allows us to be care-free, to let go of our burdens- even if it is only for a while.

Also, whereas we love our family dearly, we can lose sight of this with the hustle and bustle of everyday life, where we are constantly watching the clock or planning the day around activities and events. Time away on holidays can allow us the time to listen to enjoy each other. To enjoy the company and be present without rushing and racing. Taking a break can benefit our physical health by lowering our stress responses, improving our sleep quality and giving us time to be more physically active.

This reduces our risk of burn-out when we return to work following our time off. Time away from deadlines and appointments can reduce the feeling of anxiety we may have during the year. When we return to work after a holiday we can be more productive and focused, which leads to higher job satisfaction and enjoyment in our work life. Holidays are the ultimate selfcare activity. Many of us are too busy during the year to think of ourselves and our own needs. Finding time on our holiday to explore and indulge our passions can give us the TLC we need. Holidays come in all shapes and sizes. So, if your holiday involves reading four books by a pool, hiking the highest mountains or going to theme parks with the kids, make sure it recharges your batteries enough until the next one.

The Benefits of Resistance Training By SIOBHAN O’SULLIVAN SOS Fitness

Resistance training is doing exercise with some form of added weight or resistance. The added weight can be your bodyweight or light dumbbells. Resistance training is important for all ages as it is designed to improve strength and endurance. I have heard people say to me “I am too old to be lifting weights” or “lifting weights will make me bulky”. Neither of these are true. Resistance training is important

to improve muscle strength which can help protect you from injury. This is even more important as you age and are at risk of a fall. It will improve bone density and strength and reduce the risk of bone illnesses such as osteoporosis. Regular resistance training can also help with day-to-day tasks like lifting a child up, bending down to pick something up off the floor or bring in the shopping from the car. It can also help if you are trying to manage your weight. No matter what your age or physical ability, resistance training can provide benefits for everybody. It does not have to be a 1.5-hour gym session or endless squats. Doing a resistance-based workout for 30 minute 3 times per week will benefit your body and improve muscle function and strength. Examples of resistance exercises

everyone can do at home are squats, push ups, lunges, planks and bridges. Complete these exercises three times a week for at least 30 repetitions (3 sets of 10) to improve your muscle strength for the long term. I run fitness classes including bootcamp, kettlebells and pilates in Ballydesmond – you can check these out on bookwhen.com/ sosfitness or message me on 0879585602

Healthy Gut, Healthy You By MAIREAD O’KEEFFE New Leaf Health Store

A healthy gut makes a huge difference to your overall health, not only to your digestive health. Research is showing that gut health plays a role in your mental health, heart health and in your immune system. It may also help prevent some cancers and autoimmune diseases. There is evidence that these bacteria may impact longevity and some gut bacteria may give athletes an edge, thriving in their bodies and improving their performance. Each part of the gut, from the oesophagus to the bowel, has a different job and needs different colonies of microorganisms in order to function efficiently.

Your diet can influence these colonies, so, for example, a diet with lots of sugar rich foods will encourage sugar loving bacteria, which are not the healthiest colonies to live in the gut. A healthy diet, with fibre rich colourful vegetables, encourages healthy colonies and a healthy gut. Fermented foods like yoghurt, kimchi and sauerkraut are also beneficial to gut health. The most common supplements used to rebalance the bacteria in the gut are probiotics. Udo’s Choice Probiotics boast some of the largest bacterial counts available. The Udos range includes probiotics tailored to different age groups and there are also Udos Super 5 targeted at oral health. TerraNova combines Prebiotics with Probiotics. Prebiotic fibres

help feed and strengthen probiotic bacteria. Taking the two in combination can help make your probiotics more effective. Homeopathic Microflora Liquescence may be beneficial in safely improving the health of the gut of people on medications who are concerned about taking supplements. There are also targeted probiotic complexes available. Solgar’s Ultibio Immune is a high quality probiotic with added immune supporting nutrients. Biocare’s Cranberry Intensive, combines cranberry and probiotics and is a very effective supplement for people who suffer from urinary infections. Call in to see us at New Leaf to find your own ideal gut health supplement.

Keeping Your Pets Cool In Summer With the Summer months upon us, I know most of us have our fingers crossed for a spell of fine weather. With rising temperatures in mind, I thought that now would be a good time to remind ourselves of tactics we can use to keep our pets cool and comfortable on warmer days. First things first – never, ever leave your pet alone in a car at this time of year. Cool cars can become unbearable saunas in a matter of minutes, with a pet trapped inside, unable to escape the heat. Dogs in this situation may suffer from heatstroke – a serious condition, which sadly in many cases proves fatal.

On hot days, try to walk your pet early in the morning and late in the evening, avoiding the warmest hours of the day, where your pet (and you!) may struggle to keep cool whilst exercising. Before setting off for your walk, test the temperature of the ground. We need to remember that our feet are protected by shoes, but our pet’s paws are directly exposed to

the scorching heat of stones, roads and hot pavements on sunny days, which can be uncomfortable for our pet and in extreme cases can cause burns to the feet. A good way to test this is to see if you can comfortably hold your palm to the ground for 10 seconds without it becoming too warm; if it still feels comfortable, it will be safe to walk your pet. Make sure you cover the basics too, by always having a plentiful supply of fresh water available for your pet and providing access to the indoors or a cool shady spot. Some dogs may also enjoy splashing about in a shallow paddling pool whilst supervised!

June - Month of the Sacred Heart of Jesus By TOM DENNEHY

We celebrate the Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus this year on Friday, June 24th. This devotion began as a result of the revelations of Jesus to Margaret Mary Alacoque in December 1673 when Jesus revealed to her the wonders of His love for us. He explained to her that He wished to make these wonders known to the entire world and had chosen her to do this work. He requested that she would promote receiving Holy Communion on the First Friday each month, a Holy Hour every Thursday and a feast day celebrating His Sacred Heart. Devotion to the Sacred Heart is one of the most widely practised and well-known devotions, taking the physical heart of Jesus as a symbol of His Divine love for mankind. The devotion especially emphasizes the unconditional love, compassion, and long suffering of the heart of Christ towards humanity. As a result, the picture of the Sacred Heart with the red light burning brightly became visible in every home. The twelve promises attached to devotion to the Sacred Heart are worth noting and are a powerful protection for our homes and our families. It would be wonderful if this practice was restored to all our homes. Jesus made twelve promises to those who hold a true devotion His Sacred Heart. Some of the promises are as follows 1. I will give them all the graces necessary for their state of life. 2. I will give peace to their families and unite families that are divided. 3. I will console them in their troubles. 4. I will bestow the blessing of Heaven on all their enterprises

5. I will bless those places wherein the image of My Heart shall be exposed and honoured and will imprint My love on the heart who wear this image on their person. 6. The greatest promise – I promise you in the excessive mercy of my heart that my all-powerful love will grant to all those who receive Holy Communion on nine consecutive months, the grace of final repentance; they will not die in my disgrace, nor without receiving their Sacraments. My Divine Heart shall be their safe refuge in this last moment.

The Sacred Heart of Jesus was pierced by a lance on the cross and out flowed blood and water. This was the birth of God’s Divine love and mercy revealed by Jesus to St. Faustina poured out on all of humanity. Many Eucharistic miracles have taken place around the world. These when examined scientifically prove, it is the living heart of Jesus that is present in the Eucharist. Scientific research has shown that it is living heart tissue, a heart that has suffered severe trauma. See website on Eucharistic miracles created by Blessed Carlo Acutis www. miracolieucaristici.org The Sacred Heart of Jesus is a Heart that has suffered so much for our sake and continues to suffer because of our irreverence and ingratitude. It is a Heart burning with love for us. Let us respond to that amazing and unconditional love.

Relying on these promises, I come with confidence during this novena to beg of you the favours that I need. (Here mention your request) From whom shall I ask, Lord Jesus, if not from You, whose Heart is an unfailing source of graces and merits. Most loving Heart of my God, I believe in your power; I believe in your knowledge; I believe in your personal love for me. And, Therefore, O Sacred Heart of Jesus, I place all my trust in You. (Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be to the Father) Novena begins on June 15th and can be said at any time. Sweet Heart of Jesus help me love you daily more and more.

The Ecstasy of Gold With the final part of the Sergio Leone’s Dollars trilogy, a director, a star and an entire genre achieved immortality in the truly iconic masterpiece The Good the Bad and the Ugly (1966)

Ugly is the sun in director, Sergio Leone’s cinematic universe, the crown jewel in his career and the pinnacle of a man pushing what you could do with the western genre. Its influence is undeniable. Set during the Civil War, two men - Blondie and Tuco, form an uncomfortable alliance while looking for treasure. They must also outwit Angel Eyes, an outlaw who wants to plunder the riches for himself. With Clint Eastwood as Blondie the good - Lee Van Cleef as Angel Eyes - the bad, they are joined by the equally fantastic Eli Wallach as Tuco - the ugly, to complete the trio. Van Cleef is playing a completely different character from his last Leone outing, he plays an evil son of a gun! Wallach brings a tremendous sense of humour as the dodgy but lovable Tuco, the ugly. Eastwood is Eastwood but to me, this is the peak of Eastwood western cool. Leone used images over dialogue to tell his stories.His unique style really stands out here Following the opening credits, we get a longshot of landscape cut short with a man stepping into the same shot to now form an extreme close-up. And it goes from there. Leone was a big fan of David Lean; a man that

Issue 66 June 17th 2022

operated on a large canvas with Lawrence of Arabia as the major example and he’s inspired by Lean to shoots his characters against vast landscapes. This is never more evident than in the movies climax in the cemetery where our characters are but dots among the many gravestones.

The above header is actually the name of the piece of music that accompanies an excited and manic Tuco as he runs around the cemetery trying to find an important grave. Any other director would have cut this search down but Leone had an amazing score from Ennio Morricone and so we are treated to one of the most memorable scenes in Leone’s work. It’s often said that we remember moments from movies, not the plot or story necessarily. The final duel is one of these moments. Three men staring at each other, waiting to draw fire. It goes on for a staggering five minutes and the result is hypnotic, tense, awesome! Leone would go on to make two more westerns, the elegiac Once Upon a Time in the West (1968) and A Fistful of Dynamite (1971) (also referred to a by an awesome

DiscoverDuhallow@irdduhallow.com

alternate title Duck, You Sucker!). His final work was the majestic gangster movie Once Upon a Time in America in 1984 and he passed away of a heart attack in 1989. A younger generation of filmmakers still tip their hats to both the man and his work. Quentin Tarantino cites Ugly as one of the greatest movies ever made and an influence on him in regards to his aesthetic and the bravura one can implement carrying out a set piece. Leone never got the critical accolades of his fellow Italian filmmakers during his lifetime. They dismissed his work as inferior. Why? Because he dealt in genre movies. But the man brought art to any genre he took on.

Leone’s vision and legacy endures. When Clint Eastwood directed his western, Unforgiven in 1992 he dedicated it to Don Siegel and Sergio Leone, his two directing mentors. He is one of the few directors who is loved by both young and old. I think they can both agree; they sure don’t make ‘em like this anymore. Available on DVD, Blu Ray & to stream on YouTube.

By STEPHANIE MOYNIHAN In celebration of our Carers in Duhallow, and to kick off National Carers week 2022, IRD Duhallow was delighted to host a new initiative in June of this year, which was a coffee morning in the James O’Keeffe Institute for Mums & Dads of children with special needs funded through the Dormant Accounts Funding for Carers. Mum’s and Dad’s had an opportunity to meet other parents while the children enjoyed the screening of a while with plenty of popcorn and treats served. All enjoyed a wonderfully relaxed morning and it is hoped that many similar events will be held in the coming months.

National Carers week is a national celebration of Family Carers with the aim of raising awareness of carers, offer meaningful and supportive events for Family Carers as well as raising awareness among Carers who have not yet accessed support.

Supporting the Diversity of Language in our Locality Youth By N0LLAIG MURPHY

Development Officer

The Communities Integration Fund supports actions by community organisations to promote integration in their local communities. It helps with funding and supporting communities across Ireland to play a greater role in promoting integration by providing practical support to facilitate social inclusion among the migrant population. In this our final article in the Community Integration Fund supported series, we look at recognising the diverse attributes of the local youth population, especially those who have extra linguistic skills due to living in bilingual households. Within the educational sector there is school of thought entitled Funds of Knowledge, which is a perspective that promotes the premise that every household and community is an educational setting where knowledge is transmitted. We all have innate knowledge that we have derived from our childhood experiences, and this is something that we take with us throughout our lifetimes wherever we go. For personnel involved with early childhood care and educators, diversity in the learning environment has been very much to the fore in recent times. Within the Duhallow area there are families who are bilingual in status meaning they have the ability to use two languages, for example, English and polish. There may also be households with more than two languages, for example, English, French and German. The value of the language used by a child in their home cannot be overstated as being an important part of a child’s identity. It is important to recognise that what students acquire outside school can be a huge resource to

Issue 66 June 17th 2022

children in their skill development and learning experiences in later years. The following documented benefits of being bilingual are impressive: According to research a person with bilingual competencies may have advanced attention skills, which can assist them in their ability to ‘multi-task’, this may contribute to people having good problem solving skills and outside the box creative abilities. Studies have also revealed that being bilingual can help people to keep stronger in terms of neurological function for longer periods of their life. Their ability to switch between languages may point to a flexible approach to problem solving. Being able to converse in more than one language may assist with educational development, and in particular can help with literacy development according to research. Furthermore, in terms of cultural awareness a person with bilingual attributes may have greater ties with family, culture and community. Following on from this travel maybe become less onerous due the person’s flexibility around language. It goes without saying that being bilingual may improve a person’s access to the job market. A person

with more than one language may be seen as having additional communication skills and a wider capacity to link in with clients and colleagues, this may lead to additional job opportunities that monolingual individuals may not have the same access to. In summary being proficient in two or more languages can help individuals with enhanced social experiences and cross cultural appreciation. With the current rich population diversity in Duhallow it makes sense to appreciate the uniqueness of each individual’s language, and to support those who are currently working hard at improving their English as an additional language. A decades old telecoms advertisement slogan ran with the line: ‘It is good to talk’ and from a communities integration perspective, this sentiment is particularly apt.
