ALTERNATE FASHION EVENT REMINDER

Calling all you competition enthusiasts… This year’s Alternate Fashion event takes place on Saturday September 14th at the Listowel Race Course on this the final day of this year’s Race meeting. The best upcycled/recycled or authentic vintage outfit (male or female) must include a headpiece. The outfit should be an original item of any material and the more imaginable the better. This is another way of reusing items, which we may previously have discarded This event was the brainchild of the Listowel Tidy Towns Group in order to highlight the potential of Waste Management and is run in conjunction with An Taisce and the kind permission of the Listowel Race Company. Such was its success the competition is now in its 7th year.

Ten entrants are guaranteed to be going home with something as 5 male and 5 female are shortlisted as potential winners. Each winner will receive €300. Each 1st runner up will receive a Clarins Hamper worth €100. The remaining runners up will receive a “Goodie bag”. All prizes are sponsored by local businesses to whom we are most grateful. This year Tidy Towns are encouraging all you gentlemen, young and not so young to get involved in this funfilled entertaining event.

The event this year will be judged by vintage lover & model Pat Walker and assisted

by Susan Vickers of An Taisce. I’m sure they’ll have no easy task as they view the many outfits created from bits & pieces recovered from the back of grannies/grandpas wardrobe or the old trunk in the attic. There will also be individual prizes for: a) The best/most creative hat. b) The oldest outfit or accessory worn on the day. c) The most interesting background story on the outfit worn on the day.

On behalf of the Listowel Tidy Towns group Jackie (PRO) would like to thank everyone for supporting this Tidy Towns initiative and encourage as many as possible to partake in the event.

Ladies and Gents, don’t be shy, you are guaranteed a most enjoyable afternoon.

Keep Listowel Tidy!

KILFLYNN

NEW E-MAIL ADDRESS; notesplynch@outlook.com or telephone Patrick Lynch at 068 36117 before 7pm Sunday.

SPLIT THE BUCKET The draw for The Kilflynn Community Together “Split the Bucket” for August’s took place on Saturday, 7th September in Parker’s Pub, Kilflynn The winner of the August SPLIT THE BUCKET was Sandra Sheehan, Ballyconnell,Kilflynn ! Bucket total €420 - split €210 Congratulations Sandra.

DEATHS When the sad but not unexpected news came through of the passing of John Paul Collins, Dooncaha, Tarbert on Friday August 30, I recalled the words of Shakespeare’s Hamlet ‘There is a divinity that shapes our ends, rough hew them how we will’. The death of a young man who recently celebrated his 40th. birthday and bravely fought a ten weeks battle for life, leaving a wife and three young children brought home to us the fragility and uncertainty of life. John Paul when he finished school worked for the next twenty years with James Vaughan in the fitted kitchen trade. An ambitious young man he decided to go into business for himself and six years ago he leased a closed down filling station in Tarbert. Working long hours he expanded the business doing grocery, newsagency, deli and hot food. He started a fuel delivery service delivering coal, gas and briquettes to his customers. The Lotto, a car wash and self service laundry were later added. John Paul was popular with customers and staff and hopefully the business which he developed will be carried on into the future. His remains reposed at St Mary’s Funeral Home, Tarbert on Monday September 2 and large crowds of mourners came to pay their respects. There was a guard of honour representative of various community groups to escort the remains home.

Requiem Mass concelebrated by Fr Bernard Healy and Fr John O’Connor took place on Tuesday September 3 and a young man named in honour of a visiting Pontiff when he was baptised 40 years was laid to rest in St Mary’s new Cemetery. Sympathy of the community is extended to his wife Francine, sons Evan, Ryan and daughter Paige. Sympathy to his parents John and Breda, brother Michael, sister Selina, father-in-law Frank Crowley, sisters-in-law Krystle, Yvette and Trish, brothers-in-law, nephews, nieces, uncles, aunts, relatives and many friends.

Sympathy of the community is also extended to Liam and Vincent Purtill and the Purtill family formerly of Kilcolgan, Tarbert on the death of their sister-in-law Mary Chris Purtill (née Fitzgerald) of Castletown Conyers, Kilmallock who was interred with her late husband M.J.Purtill in Kilnaughtin, Tarbert on Monday September 2. Beannacht Dé le anamacha na marbh go léir.

BOOK LAUNCH Congratulations and best wishes to Priscilla Donovan, Tieraclea who launches her book ‘Simple Gifts’, a collection of short stories, on Saturday October 5 at 8pm in the Listowel Writer’s Museum. To help the launch there will be music on the night by Amanda Mannix, Daniel O’Brien and Priscilla. Catering will be by Daroka but as the author says ‘come for the music, come for the food but mostly come for the book!’ A date for the diary.

CLOTHES COLLECTION A reminder from the Shannonside Women’s Group that they are holding a clothes collection on Thursday October 17 in aid of St Mary’s Church.

CIARRAÍ ABÚ Best wishes to Shane Enright and his colleagues as they face Dublin in the All Ireland Final replay next Saturday. Tá súil againn go mbeidh cluiche iontach againn aris agus go mbeidh an bua ag foireann Chiarrai ag deireadh an cluiche. Congratulations to the Kerry ladies who have set the example by winning the Junior All Ireland Camogie Final on Sunday September 8. To facilitate parishioners watching the game on TV next Saturday’s Vigil Mass will be at the earlier time of 4pm in Tarbert and 5pm in Ballylongford.

CLIMATE CRISIS The Diocese of Kerry has designated the !st September to the 4th.October as the Season of Creation warning that Ireland is among the highest producers of waste in Europe. To mitigate the impact of climate change one of the measures suggested is to harvest rainwater by installing water butts and to be careful about not wasting this natural resource. A water butt has been installed on the lower level path around from the sacristy and water for use in the graveyard should be sourced here and not from the water tap. Rain water is also much better for your plants.

As the average person uses 80- 100 gallons of water each day we should be aware that it is a finite resource which should not be wasted.

As always, thank you for your continued support. The next draw takes place in Herbert’s Bar, Kilflynn on Saturday 28th September Get your entries in (as many as you like) before Saturday 28th September! It could be your lucky day! We have buckets at various businesses around Kilflynn, Parkers Pub, Herbert’s Bar and Zam Zam Kebab.

The concept of the draw is simple, simply place your €2 into the envelope at the venue, write your name and phone on the envelope and you could possibly ‘split the bucket!’

Funds raised will be used for projects that will benefit and improve Kilflynn. Your support is greatly appreciated.

CROTTA GAA The Crotta O’Neills hurling club is waiting in anticipation for our 2019 family fundraising Night at the Dogs.

Now in its 27th year, this annual fundraiser that takes place in cities, towns and villages all across Ireland has raised over €37,325,000! That is an incredible and life changing amount supporting specialist palliative care all across Ireland.

It has enabled local hospice groups to hire more specially trained Palliative Nurses to visit people in their homes, provide high quality care on In-patient Units, and refurbish facilities as well as buying crucial equipment. Most importantly, your support by hosting a coffee morning has helped patients to live life as fully as possible with dignity, respect and comfort whilst making the most of precious time with their family and friends.

Your support could help to provide vital front line services such as Homecare Palliative Nurses on the road. Every time a homecare nurse calls to the front door, families will feel the relief of knowing that their loved one is comfortable and at peace in the most familiar and restful place that they know: home, being part of family again and safe in the knowledge that specialist Palliative Nurses are managing all aspects of their care in the time ahead. Both patient and family are reassured that there is someone available to advise, help and support throughout their journey.

The Coffee Morning in aid of the Kerry Hospice Foundation will be held at the Ballyduff Community Centre from 10.00am to 1.00pm and from 7.00pm to 10.00pm. Your continued support is very much appreciated and remember all monies raised in kerry stays in Kerry.

THE TESTAMENTS

The Sequel to The Handmaid’s Tale

By Margaret Atwood Margaret Atwood’s dystopian masterpiece, The Handmaid’s Tale, is a modern classic. Now she brings the iconic story to a dramatic conclusion in this riveting sequel.

More than fifteen years after the events of The Handmaid’s Tale, the theocratic regime of the Republic of Gilead maintains its grip on power, but there are signs it is beginning to rot from within. At this crucial moment, the lives of three radically different women converge, with potentially explosive results.

Two have grown up as part of the first generation to come of age in the new order. The testimonies of these two young women are joined by a third voice: a woman who wields power through the ruthless accumulation and deployment of secrets.

As Atwood unfolds The Testaments, she opens up the innermost workings of Gilead as each woman is forced to come to terms with who she is, and how far she will go for what she believes.

SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2019 BOOKER PRIZE

IMAGINE DELIVERS ON RURAL HIGH-SPEED BROADBAND PROMISE FOR KERRY

▪ Rural homes and businesses in Kerry are among the first to benefit from a €300m high-speed broadband investment.

▪ Reliable 150Mbps high-speed broadband is now available to over 800,000 premises across rural Ireland.

▪ Includes 234,000 premises in areas where Imagine is the only provider.

▪ Kerry is one of the counties to benefit most, as shown on the map.

People can check their coverage at www.imagine.ie or call 1800 938 999.

▪ The company has now started on phase two to deliver high-speed broadband to over 1.1 million premises by June 2020.

▪

Imagine Commercial Director: “Dedicated 5G Fixed Broadband is a game changer in the delivery of reliable high-speed broadband and this combined with the benefit of lower housing costs can have a huge impact for rural areas seeking to attract or retain numbers in local communities’.

Imagine’s coverage areas are shown in red. Eircode check available on imagine.ie.

This means that reliable high-speed broadband of 150Mbps is now available to over 800,000 homes and businesses across 31,000 rural townlands. This is welcome news for people in regional and rural areas who have been waiting for the upgrade of copper to fibre.

The great news for rural dwellers is that Imagine’s network covers 234,000 homes and businesses in some of the most remote and rural areas across the country. So, where there was previously no planned commercial investment by any other operators, people can now connect to high-speed broadband this week.

Homes and businesses in rural areas across the county, from Ballybunion to Killorglin and from Ballyheigue to Brosna, can now join the thousands who are now connected. This means that rural homes and businesses that were facing the prospect of having to wait years will now be among the first in the country to benefit from high-speed broadband.

The company is now publishing maps on www.imagine.ie for each local area showing where service is immediately available.

Announcing the completion of phase one of the rollout of its national broadband network, Imagine also confirmed that it is on schedule to extend coverage to over 1.1 million premises by June 2020. So, if people or businesses are not yet in coverage then they can register on www.imagine.ie with the Eircode of the premises needing broadband.

Removing the need to bring fibre to every premise and without the need for cables and ducting, Imagine Broadband’s network can now quickly extend high-speed broadband services even in more rural areas.

Speaking on the announcement, Imagine Commercial Director Brian O’Donohoe said: ‘Over the last six months Imagine has been busy rolling out a state of the art broadband network in the areas where it’s needed most. We now see people working from home being a real option in areas previously considered not viable. It was with great pleasure that we recently connected our first customers on Inis Mór (in the Aran Islands) to a better broadband service than is available in most cities.’

Consumer Awareness Campaign With the expectation that it would take years to deliver high-speed broadband in rural areas, and with phase one of the Imagine national broadband roll-out plan complete, the company is launching a country-wide awareness campaign to inform consumers of the areas where Imagine’s high-speed broadband is already available as well as additional areas that will be covered by the end of 2019. With their Eircode, homes and businesses can simply check if their premises are already covered on the company’s website www.imagine.ie, with new areas updated each month.

Commenting on the campaign Brian said “With thousands of rural areas already covered the message is simple, if you thought it would take years to get high-speed broadband, check again!”

The Annual Memorial Paddy Healy Fishing Tournament was held in Cape Cod recently and was yet again a huge success. Over 90 anglers took part on what was a really lovely day on the water. A smaller than normal number of fish were caught on all parts of Cape Cod with fishing boats going out from Sesuit, Barnstable, Wellfleet and Truro as well as a number of anglers fishing from the shore/side of the canal.

P. J. Healy kindly donated half of his prize money of $1000 to the Cancer Research Fund.

Like 2018, there were no huge fish and the heaviest was a 37 inch Striper that weighed 15 lbs. 4 ozs. This fish was caught by one of the early risers, P.J Healy son of the late Paddy Healy. P.J. was on the high seas shortly after 5am. This is P.J.s second time winning it but his last win was way back in 1999. Another brother Kieran won in 2014 while eldest brother Brendan was third in 2018. Other brothers Gus and Seán have fished most years but with no success yet.

2. 2018 Ladies winner, Kim Juliet Healy presenting 2019 ladies winner Elizabeth Lynch with her prize of $300 and the Mc Donagh Cup.

The winner of the ladies section this year was Elizabeth Lynch whose husband Mike is currently here in Listowel on a golfing trip with the Healy brothers.

5. Gus Healy, Elizabeth Lynch, Trish McCormick, Kieran Healy, PJ Healy and Con Cleary.

Winner of the Youth Section was Trish Mc Cormick a newcomer aged 5 but who comes from a family of anglers on Cape Cod. The competition was organized by the 3 Healy brothers in the US Gus, PJ and Kieran. Johnny O’Sullivan from Cork provided the entertainment at the Sons of Erin and was accompanied by John Quilter originally from Causeway. All present in the Sons were treated to a sumptuous meal provided by the Healy’s after the prize giving.

The photos show top to bottom: 1. Gus, Kieran, P.J., Michael, Michelle and Patty Healy. Michael has previously won the juniors while Patty has previously won the ladies section.

3. Kim with her 12lb 3 oz fish that, unfortunately for Kim, did not feature in the prizes.

4. P. J. Healy with his winning fish at 7.30 am.

6. P. J. Healy with his daughter Michelle and 2009 winner Tom O’Leary originally from Tralee) 7. Gus, Kieran and PJ Healy presenting a cheque for $2,400 to Eileen Mc Cann for Cancer Research.

Other Listowel natives to take part again this year were Daithí Henry-Scully (Clieveragh and more recently Boston), PJ, Gus and Kieran Healy. PJ’s son Michael and Kieran’s son Alan also took part. Seán’s daughter Kim also participated this year and while she caught several fish none were big enough to compete with the overall ladies winner. Other Listowel natives to have taken part in this fishing tournament over the years included Alan ‘Zeb’ Lawlor, Aidan O Sullivan; James, Paul and Jim Mc Carthy; Jimmy Dore, P J Shaughnessy, Jordan Lyons, James Hennessy, Gerard Mc Mahon, Tom O’Leary, Seán, Brendan, Peter and Sarah Healy et.al.

BEALE GAA

Beale juniors were edged out of the County Barrett Cup on Friday evening, succumbing to the challenges of Knocknagoshel in the quarter final. We would come to rue our missed chances as we lost by the smallest of margins. Wasteful upfront in the first half, we trailed by just two points at the interval.

Our opponents went on to stretch the lead to six points. Our valiant second half performance turned the game. Our defence stood firm and we brought them back to within a point with just ten minutes on the clock. It was tit for tat in a nail-biting finish as we dug deep and sought that elusive score in injury time.

Alas, it didn’t come and we lost by the bare minimum, 2-8 to 1-10.

ASDEE GAA

COUNTY LEAGUE: Kilgarvan 2-12 -v- Asdee 4-11 Asdee recorded their 7th win of an excellent County League campaign, only losing 3 games by a total of 4 points. Making the playoffs for a second consecutive year is a fine achievement, but stiff tests now lie ahead. It is also worth pointing out the team finished with the best defensive record in the league, with great credit due to the management and a huge team work rate. An impressive team performance, which showed ever-improving skill levels and decision making sealed a five-point win down in Kilgarvan. A hat trick by the ever-green Cyril Dineen must be noted, as well as an excellent return from injury for Owen Tydings and debuts for Sean McElligott and Ryan Henry. Indeed, all players can be happy with their performances on a day when a win was a must. Both teams were short some key players as Asdee opened the scoring with a goal from Cyril Dineen inside the first minute. Kilgarvan’s Gearoid Fennessey put over Kilgarvan’s first point from a free to make it 1-00 to 0-01 after 10 minutes.

Asdee’s Dara Russell and Dara Keane put two more points on the board for the visitors followed by a fine point from Kilgarvan’s Gearoid Fennessy, Sean Godfrey added a further two points from play before Asdee’s Paul Carroll converted a free to make it 1-04 to 0-04 after 23 minutes. Anther Asdee goal from Dara Keane and point for Kilgarvan’s Gearoid Fennessey put Asdee ahead at the break on a scoreline of Asdee 2-04 Kilgarvan 0-05.

Asdee got the first two points after the break before Kilgarvan’s Jack Foley fired over the bar to add to Kilgarvan’s total. Patrick O’Shea converted a free for the home side to make it 0-07 to 2-06 after after 5 minutes. Asdee were putting on the pressure which resulted in two goals in 5 minutes for Cyril Dineen and Dara Keane. Kilgarvan kept fighting and Patrick O’Shea converted a penalty to make it 1-07 to 4-07 after 43 minutes. Kilgarvan lost full back Connie Cremin with an injury after 45 minutes. Two points followed from Asdee. Kilgarvan’s Liam Twomey replied with two points for the home side. Kilgarvan kept attacking and a great pass from Con Godfrey to Sean Godfrey led to Sean finding the back of the net. Kilgarvan kept the pressure on with further points from Gearoid Fennessy but the clock ran out and Asdee won on a scoreline of Kilgarvan 2-12 Asdee 4-11.Team; Asdee : James Kelly, Con Carmody, Martin Collins, Conor Keane, Mike Breen, 1pt, John Doran, Jack Collins, Jack Keane, 1pt.

CHAMPIONSHIP DRAW St. Marys Asdee having been involved in the Senior Championship back to the mid 90s and this year was no exception where President of the Board former Kerry Senior football ledgend,Jerdie O Connor, Ballydonoghue and all 16 club delegates within the North Kerry Football Board including local club delegates, Mark O Hanlon and Patsy Coughlan were in attendance at McMunns Bar and Restaurant, Ballybunion who are sponsors of the Bernard O Callaghan Memorial North Kerry Senior Football Championship on Wednesday evening last September 8th. Prior to the draw North Kerry Football Board Chairman Johnny Stack welcomed everybody to the meeting thanking the many sponsors along with Greg and Una of McMunns.

Draws were made for Junior, Minor, Under 21 and Novice Championships but the highlight of the night being the draw for the Bernard O Callaghan Memorial Senior Football Championship. All eyes were on the bowl as competition sponsor Una of McMunns Bar and Restaurant and President of the North Kerry Football Board Jerdie O Connor did the honours. 14 teams were entered with the first two teams out to receive a bye to round 2. All first named teams will be enjoying home advantage. Both Tarbert and Brosna received the byes as the draw certainly threw up some very exciting contests and none more so than the clash of last years champions St. Senans and Beale. Senans created their own piece of history by lifting the Eamon O Donoghue Cup for the first time and would be one of the favourites to do so again but the Seasiders will be well up for this and could very well cause an upset. Last years finalists Ballydonoghue who were going for 3-in-a- row of titles only to fall short to St. Senans will certainly be one of the favourites this year; they are causing quiet a stir in their Division of the County League having been promoted to Division 2 but they have a tricky assignment when they travel to Walsh Park, where they take on Knocknagoshel.

Ballyduff at home to Moyvane is without doubt a mouth-watering encounter.

Ballyduff would start as firm favourites but you write off Moyvane the Championship specialists at your peril. Another tough clash will be for Finuge who must travel to O Rahilly Park, Ballylongford; Bally haven’t been setting the world on fire in recent times but when it comes to Championship time they raise their game considerably. Asdee will have home venue but not at Walsh Park as the pitch is been upgraded at the minute; Duagh will provide tough opposition and will go into this game as firm favourites; however Asdee despite having difficulty with numbers are always a tough nut to crack in the Championship but this may prove a bridge too far on this occasion. Castleisland Desmonds and Listowel Emmets were the first teams out of the hat and certainly these two heavyweights will have a rare old tussle. Either team are not performing to the best of their ability at the moment due to injuries and lack of form. Still this is sure to attract a huge attendance to the Castleisland venue and maybe will take another day out to seperate them.

So I suppose last years finalists; St. Senans and Ballydonoghue will be the teams to beat but Castleisland Desmonds or Listowel Emmets , Finuge, Ballyduff, Brosna and maybe Beale would be in the shake up for the Eamon O Donoghue Cup. Can Brosna or Knocknagoshel finally lift the cup. Interesting times ahead. Fixtures will be confirmed by the C C C of the North Kerry Football with a provisional date of October 5/6th set for the opening rounds. Board.

GOLDEN GOAL Week 29 winners in our Fundraisers”Golden Goal” over the past week were; Eoin Kennedy, Village and Ger Foley, Gullane, Ballybunion who will each receive E40 to be given out each week to the winning number that corresponds with the first goal scored. This is in conjunction with on going All Ireland Championship in both Football and Hurling; (Televised games). Tickets are available and will be on sale each week for the duration of the Championship from Club members and at the usual outlets; “Jack Jays” Bar and John Pius at E2 each.

All IRELAND FINAL. The very best of luck to our Kerry senior footballers and all concerned who did themselves and the County proud in a trilling All Ireland Senior Football Final on Sunday September 1st.

However it will all have to be done again when the teams clash once again on this Sunday September 14th in the eagerly awaited replay. Both Jason Foley and Shane Enright from our neighbouring clubs will certainly have a huge say in the destination of “Sam”.

KERRY CAMOGIE MAKE HISTORY CAPTURING THE PREMIER JUNIOR TITLE

Kerry 0-11 -v- Limerick 0-8 Kerry faced Limerick in the Premier Junior decider at Croke Park on Sunday hoping to banish the disappointment of their 2018 loss. On a perfect day for camogie, Patrice Diggin launched the first Kerry attack after 25 seconds but her shot was dealt with by Limerick goalkeeper Leah O’Carroll. In the 2nd minute Limerick created a goalscoring opportunity when Michelle Curtin won a ball but her handpass to Ella Whelan who was in a great position was blocked by Elaine Ryall. Seconds later Sara Murphy hooked Ella Whelan as she attempted to raise a white flag. Kerry got off the mark in the 5th minute when Bríd Horan scored a beautiful point. Limerick drew level in the 7th minute when Rebecca Noonan converted a peach of a free from the Cusack Stand side of the pitch.

Seconds later Michelle Curtin of Limerick went on a run but her shot went narrowly wide.

In the 10th minute Jackie Horgan was fouled and Patrice Diggin converted the free.

Great work by Templeglantine’s Noelle Curtin was rewarded with a fine point in the 12th minute. In the 14th minute Julianne O’Keeffe struck a beautiful ball to put Kerry back in front. Patrice Diggin scored from play in the 15th minute and followed this with a point from a free in the 17th. The same player found Jackie Horgan in the 21st minute and she put Kerry into a four-point lead, 0-6 to 0-2. Rebecca Noonan converted another free in the 23rd minute. A quick free to Michelle Curtin of Limerick in the 27th minute saw her split the posts and the final point of the half was scored by Rebecca Noonan in the 4th minute of injury time to leave the halftime score at Kerry 0-6 Limerick 0-5. Kerry made two halftime substitutions. Ann-Marie Leen replaced Jessica Fitzell and Clodagh Walsh replaced Bríd Horan.

It did not take Clodagh Walsh long to make her mark as she scored a point within seconds. A lovely strike by Rachel McCarthy in the 37th minute was followed by another Rebecca Noonan converted free in the 38th. Quick thinking by Patrice Diggin in the 43rd minute saw her direct a quick free to Sara Murphy and she raised another white flag to put Kerry three ahead. A Patrice free in the 45th minute was cancelled out by a Rebecca Noonan free a minute later. Limerick substitute Shauna D’Arcy got her name on the scoreboard in the 48th minute. Kerry made their third substitution as Alanna Maunsell replaced Julianne O’Keeffe. Patrice Diggin added another pointed free to her tally in the 54th minute. Limerick tried hard to get an equalising goal but the Kerry backs stood firm to record a historic victory for Kerry Camogie on a scoreline of 0-11 to 0-8.

Camogie President Kathleen Woods presented the Kathleen Mills Cup to Niamh Leen amid scenes of great celebration. Limerick can be very proud of their efforts as they never gave up and there is no doubt that this bunch of Treaty Women will be a force to be reckoned with in next year’s championship. However, following last year’s disappointment, it was a proud day for the Kerry Team and Management. Well done to all involved. Comhghairdeachas libh go leir!

In Loving memory of Patsy Stack, Gurtcreen, Listowel who died on 13th September 2016

This time I ask you this special one, (mention favour). Take it dear heart of Jesus and place it within your heart where your father sees it. Then in his merciful eyes it will become your own favour not mine. Amen.

Say this prayer three times for three days and your favour will be granted. Never been known to fail.

Must promise publication of prayer. D.H.
