REAL REWARDS - MONEY BACK,IT’S OUR WAY OF SAYING THANKS.

By Christy Parker The meeting took place at the Walter Raleigh hotel on TuesdayJuly 6th at 7.45 pm. The group's finances stand at €12,010.08, following a grant of€11,369 from the Department of Community, Equality andGaeltacht Affairs in lieu of acquiring and installing of monitoredpersonal alarms. The books would return to the pre-funding figureonce all 40 plus alarms (including some complimentary devicesfrom the suppliers) were installed. This process was almost com-plete. PRO Sergeant John Sharkey said a lot of people had greater peaceof mind and he thanked past and present committees and support-ers for this. It is ironic that the anti-social disturbances ofHalloween 2008 sparked the revitalisation of the community alertgroup, which in turn led to the acquisition of the personal alarms. Monthly crime report: The crime statistics were relatively benign, though they "nose-dived" towards the month's cessation the sergeant noted. Hestressed that the figures only referred to "reported" crimes. Therewere three drug detections for possession arising from 27 streetsearches, with nobody apprehended for dealing. One house wassearched under warrant and "nothing major was discovered." There had been only one assault, which was "relatively minor" andbetween two Cork city visitors. No burglaries were recorded.There had been four drink-driving arrests from 22 mandatory, half-hour checkpoints. Ten people had been arrested for public orderoffences. Wanton criminal damage, mostly overnight, numbered14. Thefts were of a similar number. They had largely occurred inshops, although a lawn mower had been stolen from a private res-idence and some rucksacks with wallets and mobile phones takenfrom swimmers at Nealon's Quay. The overall crime statistics included the following: Drugs: On street drug searches took place at Catherine Street,Claycastle, Cork Hill, North Main Street, Templemichael, TallowStreet and Front Strand. Detections for possession occurred atFront Strand and Raheen Road (2). Thefts: Areas affected included Oak Hill, Quays Disco, Parklandbuilding site, Ballymacoda, Nealon's Quay, Two Euro Superstoreand XI shop O'Brien's Place. Criminal Damage: Incidents were recorded at Dermot HurleyEstate, Rifle Range, Rhincrew, Kenny's Lane, Murray Kitchens,North Main Street, Clashadonna, Dermot Hurley Estate. Drunk Driving: Detections took place at Windmill Lane, PrioryCourt, Redbarn and Carlton Wharf. Assault: One minor incident was recorded at the Quality Hotel Public Order offences: The list included Summerfield, WindmillLane, Supermacs, Rhincrew, Foxhole, McCurtainstown (drunk-ness) O'Brien's Place (drunkness) and the Quality Hotel (trespass-ing). Sexual offence: One incident was recorded, having occurred between "two peopleknown to each other." Court sentences, promotion, vetting, off licence:The PRO revealed that a man who had impersonated a garda tosteal money from a house in Clashadonna some months ago hadconfessed to the crime -and a similar transgression in Cobh- whilein custody in Cork prison. The sergeant also informed that two local (unnamed) men involvedin serious crime had failed to get bail three times before each of thedistrict and circuit courts and twice before the High Court. He pro-ceeded that the older man received 11 months in prison on June11th at Lismore District Court and also a two years sentence atCork Circuit Court on June 22nd, with 12 months suspended. OnJune 9th the younger man had received 10 months on a number ofappeal cases. Sergeant Sharkey said Supt Horan was retiring in September,while Detective Sergeant Joe O'Connor was on the Inspector's list

and due for promotion shortly. The sergeant said local gardai nowliaise with the town council to vet housing list applications. "Itstime consuming but worthwhile and gives us some control over thetype of people who come to live in the community," he said. Underage & illegal drinking:The garda revealed that underage drinking and associated anti-social behaviour remains the town's predominant illegal activity.He said it was particularly prevalent in the graveyard and in thevicinity of the Collegiate Church. Meanwhile an off-licence wasre-opening in the town, the proprietor had been informed of theoverall situation and he had expressed care and awareness.Nonetheless, a resident in the South Abbey area expressed con-cerns that criminal behaviour from previous experiences, mightrecur. Sergeant Sharkey asked that the gardai be immediately con-tacted on foot of any incidents or even if in fear of one being immi-nent. Treasurer Michael Beecher was dubious that all off licence ownerswere co-operating with efforts to restrain underage drinking, aview he also applied to parents. The overwhelming opinion in theroom was that shop owners were doing their best to control the sit-uation and that older individuals were purchasing alcohol forminors. Sergeant Sharkey said there was no evidence of non-coop-eration or supplying direct to underage drinkers. . Contributions from the floor testified that the scourge was stillrampant in North Abbey and Slob areas. The situation wasdescribed as "terrible" with regular desecration, rowdy behaviourand criminal damage. Youths were climbing into the cemeterywhile the gates were shut to visitors. "Call us at any time, whenev-er you are concerned," again advised the sergeant. There was also concern expressed from the floor that some youths,who had been frequenting and perhaps removed from the youthcentre at Nagle House were causing problems. A second voice saidhe welcomed the centre but asked that they be advised to behavein a responsible manner when leaving the premises. Some, it wasalleged, had been playing 'chicken' with cars. The sergeant said itwas very rare that people were ejected but there had been one suchoccasion recently. He believed that 95% of those attending werewell behaved and observed that neither they nor their parents hadbeen happy on previous occasions to be considered party to thevery few who had caused problems. He would convey the con-cerns to those managing the facility. Alarms:The chairman, Jack Dempsey said the installation of alarmsreflected very well on the work of the community alert group. Heexplained that each installation took a mere half hour, duringwhich the installer was accompanied by a local, who helped over-see the paper work. Each recipient nominated three helpers whocould be contacted in turn by phone in the case of emergency.Some 'semi-private" details such as health issues and a doctor'svalidation were also supplied. People had told him they felt farmore secure and comfortable in their homes, with one elderlywoman describing it as "like having company." Mr. Dempsey said,"this issue alone justifies our presence over the past 18 months." Alarms are available houses that accommodate a resident -not nec-essarily living alone- of 65 years or over. A telephone landline isalso necessary, though the alarm can be activated from outside thehouse, such as occurred to save a Wexford woman's life after shefell in last winters freezing conditions. Application forms are avail-able at the garda station. Suggestions welcome:Having acquired personal alarms and burglary warning signs forthe beaches the group would welcome any further suggestions forcommunity initiatives, the PRO advised. He was surprised at thesparse uptake on application forms for modern smoke alarms buthe said the forms remained available at the garda station The next meeting, in the Walter Raleigh, is on September 7th at7.45 pm

YOUGHAL AND DISTRICT COMMUNITY ALERT MEETING JULY 2010

By Christy Parker Following its statutory July meeting, Youghal Town Council helda Standing Orders meeting to decide whether to retain Tuesdaymornings for its monthly sittings or revert to Monday evenings.Meetings have been held at 10 am on Tuesdays since April, duringthe council executive's work-to-rule protest at public sector payconditions. Prior to the dispute's settlement, the town clerk andstaff only work daytime hours. Two issues pre-occupied the thoughts of the eight councillors pres-ent. Firstly, though the move to Tuesdays had been chosen as atemporary measure, some members had found it suited them bet-ter. Others preferred Monday but all claimed either arrangementwas acceptable. Secondly, there was Cllr Donie Daly, Youghal's first Labour coun-cillor since 1986 and elected with 308 first preferences. The free-lance financial consultant has missed all day meetings due to workcommitments in Limerick. The councillor also opted for ten dayspay in lieu of holidays/time off from work due to redundancy fearsif his contract is not extended next month. Cllr Daly has been unhappy about the switch to Tuesday morningand has publicly and repeatedly aired his grievance. Seldom hesi-tant to speak his mind, he has cast himself, rightly or wrongly, asa victim of intent by some councillors. The councillor recently ruffled feathers considerably when heresponded thus to remarks that some councillors take time offwork to attend meetings: "As far as I know, we have 4 full time'public representatives', 2 self employed, 1 retired teacher, 1 stu-dent and myself. I'm not working to supplement my benefits, or inaddition to my pocket money. I can't take time off from my parttime job cutting grass or doing my paper round. This is a real job,with real responsibilities, in order to pay real mortgages and feeda real family.' To say some of his council colleagues were miffed by his observa-tions would be understating on the lines that the pope has a thingabout religion! Cllr Daly says he his have been "taken up wrong-ly." but their shadow lay heavy as a blanket as the Standing Ordersdebate commenced. Standing OrdersMayor Mary Linehan Foley began by observing that while thedecision to hold daytime meetings was enforced, it had suited sev-eral councillors, especially those with families at home, includingherself. Acknowledging that, "one particular councillor is not suit-ed by morning meetings" she proceeded that when she first ran forcouncil, she knew that times could fluctuate. "In 1999 some meet-ings were held at 2pm," she recalled. The mayor, a mother of five,said she had always managed to attend meetings and would con-tinue to do so, regardless of their time, in accordance with the trustplaced in her by the electorate. The same applied to voluntary com-mittee meetings, she added. She concluded by saying any impres-sion that the council was against one member, was "totally untrue"and had never been he case in her time as a councillor. CllrMichael Beecher, noting it was "an honour to be elected," said pro-fessionally, mornings suited him best in summertime but he nowwanted Monday evening meetings restored. Cllr Barbara Murraytoo preferred morning meetings but "out of fairness" to Cllr Daly,she felt the meetings should return to Monday nights. Cllr Michelle Hennessy preferred daytime meetings for family rea-sons. She said she had always, despite "two difficult years," attend-ed meetings in respect of the electorate and a town "that I lovedearly." The councillor then stridently defended her status as "ahomemaker and a mother" which translated into being "a doctor, acounsellor and a taxi driver, going here, there and everywhere."She had four children, was constantly on the road and it was verydifficult being a homemaker, mother and councillor. Most men,given a week looking after children would seek liberation via ashovel, a pick and the outdoors, she claimed (uncontested mindyou!).

Cllr Liam Burke had "no problem" with either arrangement buthad a slight preference for morning times.Cllr Eoin Coyne said everyone had the same mandate regardless ofvotes accrued. He too had no problem with either time and was"willing to work with any councillor that works with me."However he had "a very serious issue with how Cllr Daly is goingabout his business." Opting to "call a spade a spade," he fumed thatCllr Daly had been "slating the back off us week by week, whetheron the radio, the internet or in newspapers! And then he expects usto support him! I'm not accepting that!" His voice raised, CllrCoyne said he had read on youghalonline.com that Cllr Daly had"stated he was the only person with a real full time job." The coun-cillor then vehemently defended his colleagues and he against anyinsinuation that their lives were neither fill nor industrious. His pri-ority was to "make a difference" to his town and to attend councilmeetings and he was indifferent to the time they were held. Cllr Sammy Revins, self-employed, said he also had "a real job"and was very aware too that his wife worked hard, not least athome, where there currently resided several children from theChernobyl movement. "We all have to make sacrifices and wehave often changed meeting times," he observed. He said he pre-ferred night meetings, as he had to hire staff to cover for him, butwould accept the majority consensus. He wanted a nine-membercouncil and didn't think it would "be a big sacrifice for Cllr Dalyto take one a day off a month." Cllr Sandra McLellan said she was available for both times butshe'd "rather support people that aren't stabbing me in the back."She considered the matter "a load of petty nonsense" and said shehad attended 34 meetings the previous month, at various hours,including 11 for Cork County Council. The councillor "resentedbeing told she didn't have a real job" She had worked at variousjobs since 16 and being a councillor was "the hardest job of all."She had a family, made sacrifices and got through it. The council-lor said it was petty of someone "to go to the media complainingabout 'poor me' instead of talking about achievements and realissues." She concluded that she'd "had enough" and would nowchoose morning meetings over evenings. Voting: Voting centred on two proposals. Firstly, Cllr Beecher,seconded by Cllr Revins, proposed that Standing Orders revert toMonday evening meetings. Secondly, Cllr Hennessy proposed thatthe Standing Orders remain unaltered at Tuesday mornings, 10 am. Cllr Beecher's proposal produced a tie at 4-4 with Cllrs Beecher,Revins, Murray and Coyne in favour and Henessy, McLellan,Linehan Foley and Burke against. The issue was decided with themayor's casting vote and the proposal was defeated. Cllr Hennessy's proposal was then carried, with support from CllrsHennessy, McLellan, Linehan Foley, Burke and Coyne. Expected nothing: Cllr Daly says he "expected nothing less" fromthe meeting. "It is about members of the Town Council takingactions that lack foresight and also shows that if you are in the pri-vate sector and work normal hours, don't bother running for coun-cil in Youghal." The outcome casts doubt on Cllr Daly's ability toremain in situ. The 1991 Local Government Act stipulates that thatlocal authority membership shall be terminated if a member failsto attend meetings "over a consecutive period of six months,"except due to illness or some other approved reason. He has nowmissed four consecutive meetings. The councillor says he will con-sult with is party as to his options.

By Christy Parker Report of the Town Clerk on Matters Arising from theMonthly Meeting of Youghal Town Council held on 15th June2010.Commercial Rates: I outlined last month that the shortfall in rateincome to 30/4/2010 was €167,000. The situation on the 31st Mayshowed that this deficit has narrowed by €31,624 to €135,376, butremains a serious concern for the Council. The Council broughtfive rate cases to Youghal District Court on the 2nd July last andobtained judgments on two cases with three being adjourned to 3rdSeptember 2010 to allow for full payments to be made by then. Inthe two cases where judgments have been obtained warrants haveissued to the County Sheriffs Department for collection of themonies owed. A further five cases are listed for Youghal District Court forSeptember 17th next where judgments will be sought against theoffending rate payers. Youghal Town Council only take legalaction as a last resort and where all reasonable avenues for pay-ments have been exhausted. Enterprise Centre: Works have commenced on Phase II of theEnterprise Centre and should be completed within a period of threemonths. The Contractor for the works is David O' Reardon ofGlendaligan, Lemybrien, Co. Waterford and are under the direc-tion of Colin Brennan of David Kelly Partnership. Littering Offences: As you are aware CCTV Cameras have been inoperation in Youghal since the middle of May intermittently.Twenty nine serious offences have been identified by the opera-tors. Litter fines were issued last week and prosecutors will besought where fine payments are not received. We will continue touse CCTV cameras throughout the summer and autumn in aneffort to eliminate littering offences, including the disposal ofdomestic refuse into Council provided litter bins. Youghal TownCouncil are required to pay Cork County Council for the disposalof this refuse. Kilcoran Road Resurfacing Works: The main resurfacing works onKilcoran Road have been completed at a cost of €82,482.45, whichis €25,000 over the anticipated cost. A section of golf Links Roadwas also completed at a cost of €22,583.16 which is €7,416.86under the anticipated cost. As all budgets are completely expend-ed no further road works with the exception of pothole repairs byTown Council Staff will be undertaken for the remainder of thisyear. In reference to legal action against defaulting ratepayers, CllrBarbara Murray asked whether those being pursued are still inbusiness. Town clerk Liam Ryan said they were still trading. Askedif were regular or just recent defaulters, he replied that, "they werenever exemplary." Litter:In regard to littering offences Cllr Murray said she endorsed theuse of CCTV but asked whether such evidence clearly indicatedthat large bags conveying domestic rubbish were involved in caseswhere fines had been issued for dumping in street bins. TownClerk Liam Ryan said fines had only been issued for offences thatwere "voluminous in nature" and none had been issued "wherethere was a grey area." Cllr Murray asked whether he would fur-nish the evidence to someone appealing a fine and Mr. Ryan saidthat would only be done as part of the legal process where therewas a refusal to pay a fine. Cllr Murray said she knew of cases,whereby elderly people were unaware of having offended, such asa woman in the beach whom she had seen emptying the detritus ofher car into a bin recently. Town Manager Patricia Power intervened, saying the issue hadbeen debated for many years and it was time to develop a "zero tol-erance" approach to littering across "every strata of society." Shefelt nobody had "lived in a cave" long enough to be unaware of theproblems. She said there was a "robust" three-part, internal appealsystem via the litter warden, the town clerk and herself, beforecourt proceedings were considered. "We'll never get any wherewith tit-for-tat evidence, of who saw this and who saw that," she

continued, concluding that the message must be unequivocallydelivered that "Youghal people respect their town and that Youghalis a clean town." Cllr Michael Beecher said he had seen domestic rubbish beingstrewn by crows at Greens Quay and Dr. Kennedy's Place thatmorning. He was "delighted" people were being caught on CCTV.Cllr Sammy Revins said people should realise there was a litterwarden on duty and "fair play to him for getting what he was look-ing for." Cllr Sandra McLellan asked if resurfacing the remaining section ofthe Golf Links Road would receive priority in 2011. Mr Ryan saidit was for the members to decide at next year's budget but he hopedthe weather wouldn't dictate the priorities as happened in 2010. Votes of Congratulations: Mayor Linehan Foley congratulated "three young people (GolfersPatricia Ronayne, & Patrick Plante from Youghal and Gortroe'sbasketball player Sandra Egan) who won two silver and a bronzemedal respectively while representing Munster in the SpecialOlympics in Thomond Park, Limerick "They made us proud anddeserve acknowledgment." she said. Given the current reticencetowards civic receptions, the councillor wondered if framed certifi-cates could be presented to them at a reduced ceremony. CllrRevins said presenting certs had formerly been a popular practice"but," he added, "let's give them a good reception too and nevermind the begrudgers. They are children of our town." CllrsHennessy and McLellan concurred. Cllr Murray added that theaward-winning Pobalscoil students invited to attend the 2010Shanghai International Youth Science and Technology Expo, alsodeserved recognition. Cllr Beecher recalled a previous decisionconduct a nomination system, succeeded by an annual awardsnight. Mayor Linehan Foley's proposal for bi-annual awards cere-monies at Christmas and June was then well received and a subcommittee is to be established to pursue that option. Town Foreman's Report: Cllr Liam Burke complained of potholes on Raheen Road,Nealon's Quay car park, Bawnmore and Ballyclamasy at junctionwith N25. He asked the town manager for an update on the imple-mentation of a retail strategy for Youghal that was sanctioned inJune 2009 and for which funding was provided. He said it was"extremely important" that it was incorporated into the town devel-opment plan with a view to a new retail centre application for MillRoad in which Dunne's Stores would be anchor tenants. Cllr Eoin Coyne said tourists had expressed disappointment withthe bad state of the statue and fountain in Green Park, though theyfound the town "lovely." He also cited concern over dumping at thebottom of Sarsfield's Terrace and potholes at Bawnmore, bushesintruding onto the footpath at Golf Links Road and St. Coran'sWell. PotholesCllr Revins said potholes were prevalent in Macurtainstown carpark and that shrubbery at the exit of Kilcoran Park needed trim-ming as it was impeding motorists' view. The first implement inthe Greencloyne playground needed repair, he said The councillorsought information regarding satellite dishes on the front of build-ings on the main street, especially in a heritage town. Visitors hadremarked on it and he wondered if dishes in such locationsrequired planning permission. The town clerk, to general surprise,said this was indeed the case. The town manager said she'd cite thelegislation at the next meeting. Oh dear...Cllr McLellan said she had been embarrassed amongst Americansat the ongoing foul state of the jail steps. Mr. Ryan said the green-ery at the top end had been cut and further pruning was imminent.She said the car park on Raheen Road needed spraying and alsoasked if Springfield Industrial Estate was ready to be taken incharge by the council. A delegation had visited her on the issue andshe said the estate was very well kept. ArrowsCllr Murray asked if the traffic arrows on the "appalling" surfaceon Nealon's Quay carpark could be painted. She too had concerns

YOUGHAL TOWN COUNCIL JULY MEETING

over the Bawnmore potholes along with weeds on the paths aroundthe GAA grounds at Magners Hill. She inquired if funding wasavailable to complete works at Srathan na Sali.. The town clerk saidthe landscaping was finished, the speed ramp at the entrance wouldbe installed in September, there was no provision made for a railingand trees in Phase 1 and no, he had not yet received funding fromCork County Council for any works. Cllr Beecher remarked that the bright 'golden' hue painted onto thenew business adjacent to the AIB was "a disgrace" and was told itwas being dealt with. He concurred that the state of the jail stepswas appalling and urged CCTV cameras be utilised to combat lit-tering there. The councillor concluded with a request that the FrontStrand toilets be painted. ShrubsCllr Hennessy appealed for the Millennium Park ponds to becleaned and some colourful shrubs to be planted. She also wantedthe playground swept and the foliage on Mill Road roundabout tobe pruned. She said the hedging on Golf Links Road was forcingwalkers onto a busy thoroughfare and complained of rubbish beingpersistently dumped on a certain spot on Cork Hill. She added thatan accident was imminent on Raheen Road as drivers were deviat-ing to avoid potholes.Mayor Linehan Foley sought news on a proposal to plant shrubs atQuain's Terrace, where the residents would then tend to them. CllrCoyne added that an unoccupied house on the terrace had over-grown foliage. EmbargosAt this point the town clerk asked whether there had been feedbackfrom the councillors' political parties regarding protests they hadpledged to convey in protest at local government under-funding andthe staff embargo. Suffice to say no good news -or any news- wasforthcoming. Mr. Ryan said the council simply could not operatesuccessfully as matters stand. "It's emanating from the Departmentof Finance," he informed before asking, "Are we a local authorityor are we not?" Patently exasperated, he proceeded, "If we are, thenwe should be given the funding to perform the works within ouradopted budget. This includes being able to hiring the individuals toperform the works contained within that budget." Cllr Revinsremarked that the issue of a white paper currently being studied bythe government regarding the proposed abolition of town councilsneeded to be addressed too. Cllr Murray said the HSE presentedsimilar under-funding and embargo issues, with Youghal hospitalunable to replace staff. Cork County Council Items: Cllr Beecher said it was "time for action" over derelict sites, specif-ically Clancy's, its adjacent garage and the Spinning Wheel."Somebody must be responsible," he demanded. He also circulatedphotos of the derelict conditions at the old CIE-owned railway sta-tion. Cllr Murray decried that someone, campers probably, had strewnrubbish along side the butts (Claycastle), which was technically pri-vate property but also probably an established right of way. Sheasked if there was any update on a seven-day "dangerous order"notice issued to the owner of the rifle range building on June 21st.The councillor said the condition of valves on the outfall pipes werein the strand area was causing concern to the residents who fearedflooding. Town engineer Paul Murray explained that the valve man-ufacturer and the consulting engineer had visited the site and issuewas being dealt with. He agreed to supply Cllr Murray with a writ-ten report. Cabins and footpathsCllr Murray also wondered whether a rubber flap or grid could beplaced at the entrance to the council's larger car park bins, to pre-vent crows etc from ransacking them as well as making it more dif-ficult to dispose of domestic rubbish. Regarding CCTV she hopedthat Cork County Council would duplicate Youghal's anti-litter ini-tiative. The engineer said he was awaiting an answer on that. Thecouncillor asked if the lifeguard cabins at Claycastle and Redbarnwould be changed this year, given their windows face away fromthe beach. The engineer said they would retain them for the dura-

tion of 2010 and that they had been chosen due to their anti-vandalqualities, with shutters etc. The town manager said the lifeguardswere outside the cabins usually but the issue would be reconsideredfor 2011Cllr Hennessy advised that the signs on the adjacent island wereobstructing children's -and even adults'- view of traffic at the MillRoad roundabout. She had personally experienced the situation.Cllr Burke repeated "the usual list of broken footpaths', aka TallowStreet, South Main Street, junction of Strand Street & South Abbey.He was told that some sections of these areas would be addressedshortly. Cllr Burke further stated that there was a missing strip ofroad surface at Island View and asked if there would be any worksdone on Moll Goggin's Corner this year. There is none planned, "said Mr. Murray. Bad roads and waiversCllr Coyne reminded the engineer that the road at Island View need-ed repair and was told it would occur by the end of the year as theworkers were currently engaged in the countryside, looking afterwater treatment plant issues, bins and beaches. The councillorsought an update on recent complaints over alleged odours from thelandfill site. The town clerk said he is awaiting a reply from thecounty council. Cllr Coyne asked if the chip van at Redbarnrequired a permit and said he had been told the operator was dispos-ing of fat, etc that threatened the manholes.Cllr Revins said the road surface where Ballyvergan meets the manroad was "crazy." The engineer said he'd investigate. Cllr McLellan said that a lot of elderly people were concerned atrumours that the civic amenity site would be closing and also thatthe county council were to abolish the waiver system. The townmanager replied that she didn't know about environment issues butwas aware that discussions had taken place to make the site viable.Cllr Murray said that the county council was losing €1.9m perannum on waivers and that the Dept of Social welfare should becarrying the responsibility instead. Ms Power agreed and said a sub-mission to that effect had previously been made to the governmentbut with no satisfactory response. Cllr Murray noted that the ameni-ty site's landfill facility would be closing soon anyway and it washoped that in due course -20 years or so- picturesque landscapingwould ensue. Cllr Linehan Foley asked whether the plans for the new Quarryvalelandscaping, intended to prevent vehicles denying visibility to exit-ing motorists and was told they are now ready. Mayor's Business: Mayor Linehan Foley said the local club's reception for GAAPresident Christy Cooney had been cancelled (Waterford hurlersdelaying the inevitable again!) and new arrangements would beforthcoming in time.

Girls Guide to the Debs 2010How Can I Look My Best?

You will want to look your best and you can. Just follow the pam-pering programme and make-up tips provided below by TaraMurphy, Beauty Consultant and Owner of Invogue Beauty Salonand you will be ready to dazzle.Nails: Perfectly polished and painted nails scream sophisticationand glamour. If you want these nails for your debs rememberyour feet as well as your hands. On giving yourself a DIY profes-sional manicure/pedicure, start by filling the nails and applying asmall amount of cuticle cream and gently pushing the cubiclesback with an orange wood stick. Do not use metal as you coulddamage your nail. Then apply some hand cream to soften thehands. When working on your feet remember to file down the hard skinbefore applying the cream. Use nail polish remover to clean awayany oily film left on the surface of the nails. Then apply a basecoatto protect your nail, followed by 2 coats of your desired polish andadd shine to your nails. If you want to go that extra sparkle and

bling why not try some nail artdesigns and diamonds at yourfavourite Beauty Salon.Skin: We are not all born withperfect skin but are you listening toyour skin? It is trying to tell youwhat it needs. If you can interpretit’s sensations and textures youwill be able to care for it much bet-ter in the future. Your skin is thecanvas for your makeup; a perfectskin will help to give a perfectmake up. However if your skin isdry, oily, congested etc there isonly so much that your make upcan do! A daily cleanse, tone and moistur-ize day and night with the correctproducts that suit your skin is vital.

Then weekly it is important to exfoliate to rid the skin of deadcells and excessive oils. This is often followed by a mask for 20minutes to leave your skin looking radiant. However if you feelthat your skin is still not at its best, then a professional facial maybe needed. A visit to your favourite Beauty Salon a few months before theDebs will allow the skin to be perfect for the big night especiallyif a few treatments are needed. Also Mums often enjoy comingalong for a few treatments and make a day of it.FALSE TANS: There are many false tans on the market howeverthe same pre and post care applies to them all.SCRUB - Exfoliate for up to a week before the tan but not the dayof the false tan application.SHAVE or WAX IT -The day before the tan.OUTFIT CHECK - Wear Dark clothing and loose fitting shoesthe day of the application.MOISTURISE - after each shower to keep up the tan, but notbefore or the day of the tan application.PAT DRY - after each shower and do not rub the skinSWEATING is a big no after the tan application. Do not carry outany exercise until after your first shower after the application.Note: If you have sensitive skin do a patch test before tanning.Tanning is very important to get right for your Debs night. Youmust remember that there are different shades of false tans, so ifyou have a pale complexion it is better to use a lighter colour tan.

The most popular tans are the spray on tans. Air wraps around thetanning spray which effectively allows it to dry as you sprayavoiding streaking and giving you a perfect tan in 10 minutes. Ifyou are unsure about tans it is advisable to do a trial a few weeksin advance and not the week of the event. There are many differ-ent shades of tan that can be applied according to your skin toneand preference. Remember the tan application should be carriedout the day before your big night and not the day of it!!Make up: Your make up application is only as good as the brush-es you use so use great brushes!! High quality brushes allow youto apply and blend better than anything else. At the minimum you

need a fluffy powder brush, aflat eye shadow brush, atapered blush brush and aneyeliner brush.Foundation: You shouldtry and get the nearest colourfoundation to you own skintone. An off colour base willmake every other cosmeticyou apply just look not quiteright. Mixing foundation andmoisturiser can give a goodtinted moisturiser. If youhave discolouration or spotson your skin apply concealeron the problem areas beforeapplying your foundation.Apply foundation with amake up brush or sponge.

Powder: Set your foundation with loose powder applied with abig fluffy brush. This sets every type of cosmetic from foundation,to eye shadow to even lipstick!! Pick a loose powder with a yel-low undertone to make sure that it works with your skin tone. Alsodeposit extra powder under the eyes to catch any eye make up fall-out. Then brush away.Eye Lashes: Make sure lashes are free from any make up.Curl the lashes with an eyelash curler. Then get a hand held mir-ror and hold it down and look into it. This will allow you see theroot all the way to the tips of your lashes. This gets the best lengthpossible, Maximise length look down into a mirror, got it!!Lipstick Choice: The type of lipstick depends on your individ-ual taste. Matte lipsticks last longer but are drier in texture. Creamlipsticks give good coverage and contain moisturizers. Hydratinglipsticks are good for dry lips. Sheer lipsticks are moist and givethe lips a stain. Lip glosses have the most moisture. It is best toapply your lipstick with a lip brush. Best of Luck!

DEBS DILEMMA!Q: I want to ask my friend's ex-girlfriend to the Debs. Theybroke up a month ago and he acts like everything is okaybetween them. What do you think?A: Talk to your friend before you make any sudden moves. Justbecause he acts like he's fine with the break-up, you won't knowfor sure until you ask him point-blank. Be clear with him, andmake sure he's clear with you. If he doesn't give you the go-ahead, set your sights on someone else. No Debs date is worthending a friendship.

Q. My best friend wants to ask this guy to the Debs, but Iknow he doesn't like her. Should I tell her to forget thewhole thing?A. This is a tough one. If you tell her the truth, she'll probablyget mad at you. But if you aren't honest, she'll have to deal withthe pain of being rejected. It's not easy to be the bearer of badnews, but let's face it -- sometimes the truth hurts! You have toask yourself: Is it better that she finds out from the guy or froma close, trusted friend?Before you say anything, make sure her Debs crush is absolute-ly, positively, 100 percent not interested in going with her. Theworst thing you can do is meddle without having all the facts.Once you know for certain, you may want to find a gentle wayto break the news. One good way is to tell her that he's going toask another girl. Be very vague and nonspecific, but make sureshe understands that he's spoken for.If that doesn't work and she's still bent on asking him, try to sether up with someone else or suggest another guy that she has abetter chance with. Technically yeah, you could just keep silenteven though it's hard to watch a friend walk straight into majorheartbreak. In the end, it's your decision. Whatever you do, keepyour friend's feelings in mind.

Q: A good friend asked me to the Debs and I said yes. Butthen this guy I've been flirting with for weeks also asked meand I told him I'd go with him. Help!A: Ooh, this one's a toughie. No matter what you do, it seemssomeone is bound to get hurt. Here's a way you can keep yourfriend without losing your chance at romance:Since you'd rather go with the flirt, you need to tell your friendand hope he understands. If the friendship means anything toyou, tell him that you'll gladly break your date with this otherguy and keep your word. If all goes well, he'll step aside and letlove prevail. However, if he accepts your offer to keep yourword, go to Bachelor #2 and reveal the whole truth: You want-ed to go with him so much that you accepted his offer eventhough you already had a date. Then ask him for a rain check!

Q. I've heard horror stories about girls being dumped thenight of the Debs. What do I do if my date stands me up?!A. Being stood up is every girl's worst nightmare -- let's hope itnever happens to you! But if, worst case scenario, it does, staycalm. Under no circumstances should you throw a fit in yournew dress.If you haven't already, try to contact your date. Email, text, call,bebo -- anything and everything to track him down. After all,there may be some kind of emergency. If an hour goes by with-out a word, it's time to face facts: your date is a no-show. All thewaiting in the world won't make a dent of difference. It's up toyou. Spend the rest of the night retouching your makeup, or

come up with a new game plan.If you're at a loss for what to do next, enlist the aid of a fewtrusted friends. Tell them what happened and ask for advice.The same goes for your parents. Talk to them. The more openyou are now, the less embarrassed you'll be later. Once you'vetalked the whole thing out of your system, you'll need to makea key decision. Will you let the creep ruin your night or are youready to salvage the evening by going solo? Remember, there'sno right or wrong decision. And don't forget that if you dodecide to go by yourself, it's not like you'll be completely onyour own -- your Best buddies will all still be there!Finally, don't get down on yourself. Everyone's been stood up atsome point. The only person who should feel bad is your lousyex-debs date. So say good riddance and be happy you didn'tspend your prom with someone so unworthy.

In Memoriam3rd Anniversary

MAY O’ MAHONYIn Loving Memory of my Mum,

Late of Rath Kinsalebegwho died 23rd July 2007

No words can say, how I feel today, Or feel in my heart since you went away, I hide my tears, when I speak your name,

But the pain in my heart remains the same.I miss you when I need a friend, Always on you I could depend,I speak your name with tears unseen, Wishing your absence was

only a dream. I miss you from the house, I miss you from the chair,And it’s worse on special occasions, When I know you won’t be there.

No farewell words were spoken, No time to say goodbye,You were gone before I knew it, And only God knows why

Sadly missed by your Daughter Christine, Son-in-LawHumphrey, Grandchildren Samantha, Blake & Kyle

1st AnniversaryCaroline Dalton (nee Drake)

By Christy Parker Youghal's status as a walled town of significant merit on thenational and international stage has been enhanced with a€200,000 grant to the town council from the Irish Walled TownsNetwork. The sum, which represents 30% of the network's entire2010 national budget, will fund the removal of vegetation and there-pointing of a wall section nearest Aher's Terrace, according totown councillor and heritage committee lynchpin Liam Burke.Youghal Town Council has also received €15,000 for aConservation Plan for Myrtle Grove, €4,900 for an ArchitecturalAppraisal of the town's historic quarter and €2,700 for theGraveyard Trail at St. Mary's Collegiate Church. The informationis contained in the latest Heritage Municipal Policy Committeereport as delivered by Cllr Burke to the July Town Council meet-ing. The report impresses with several other items of information. Forexample heritage footpaths will soon run from St. Mary's Collegeto DeValera Street, mirroring the same design and materials asalready deployed in Emmet Place. The work will cost €100,000. Next month's Medieval Day will return to the College gardens onSunday 22nd. Organised through voluntarily efforts from CllrsLinehan Foley, Murray, Coyne and community members, its onuson family entertainment will include historical enactments, fenc-ing, food and craft fairs, stalls, music and hopefully sunshine. A business plan for the Clock Gate is underway, as a prerequisiteto acquiring funding for the future development of a multi-pur-pose, heritage facility. Meanwhile the Youghal Socio-EconomicDevelopment Group is seeking funding for a conservation plan forthe monument. Two new signs have been added to St. Mary's Collegiate Church'sGraveyard Trail. These are based on i) historic headstones and ii)fauna. The new grant (see above) will secure additional signage,while the town council will provide wooden walkways andmulched (protective covering, usually of organic matter such asleaves, straw, or peat, says the dictionary) pathways to assist pub-lic access. Waterford Institute of Technology's architectural department is toconduct projects in Youghal, in a new partnership intended to beof mutual benefit. Irish Historic Towns Atlas:Finally, Youghal is to be included in the Irish Historic TownsAtlas. The atlas is part of a wider European project and 23 Irishtowns have now signed up. The Youghal entry is being voluntari-ly "authored" as the report puts it, by Professor Tadhg O'Keefe ofUCC and local engineer and rotary club member David Kelly,while the Royal Irish Academy meets most of the research andproduction costs.However a local contribution of €30,00 isrequired. Mr Kelly has already raised much of this. A donation of€15,000 from the Christian Brothers' sale of Youghal properties,€3,000 from the Youghal Heritage Society, plus private donationsbrought in €34,000. As Youghal Town Council typically allots€25,000 towards heritage works in its annual budget, July's coun-cil meeting agreed to earmark €6,000 of that towards the atlasproject. The project will see a large-scale map of Youghal digi-talised for colour printing as the main reference. Youghal's histo-ry, constructed from original sources and illustrated with furthermaps, will also feature, while a topographical, 22-part, informa-tion section will include copies of historic maps and pictorialimages of the town. The streets section already has about 200entries for street names, with dates and sources included. The ear-liest reference dates to1342. Original manuscript of Youghal'slocal authorities since 1610 will also be included in original man-uscript form. The completed atlases are distributed to academic institutions andlibraries across Europe and form 'a primary source of informationand a base form which to launch further research.'

On Thursday our second Fé 14football squad had more fortune with them as they travelled toGlenville to take on the home side. We played some very skilfulfootball despite the hard physical challenge from the Glenvilleboys and were rewarded with a 4-8 to 2-8 victory as the final whis-tle sounded.Summer Cúl Camp 2010This past week Páirc Uí Chinnéide was full of excitement, fun,action, boys & girls, and Cork hurling, ladies football & camogiestars! We had a fantastic injury-free camp, being very lucky withthe weather, (even getting a little tan on our opening day). The onehundred and thirty four boys and girls who attended had an excel-lent week with their coaches, learning the skills of our nationalsports and enjoying the fun packed days. We would like to thankmost sincerely all the coaches who were with us for the week witha special word of thanks to our senior (!) coaches Peter Power, PatMoore and Sean Lavery who passed on their expert advice to allthese young Gaels. After Thurles on Saturday night, perhaps weneed Pat and Peter to do a little bit with our Rebel seniors!The lucky boys and girls (and also some mums & dads) had thepleasure and thrill of meeting with Cork Hurling Stars Aisake OhAilpin and Patrick Horgan, Cork Ladies Footballer Amy O Shea,Cork Camogie Captain Orla Cotter and dual star Angela Walshduring the week. The excitement and buzz around Páirc UíChinnéide was electric, as cameras flashed and autographs weresigned.Killeagh-Ita's GAA club are indebted to our rúnaí Ursula Colemanwho puts in a phenomenal amount of work in preparing for, plan-ning and delivering our annual Cúl Camp week. We would alsolike to take this opportunity to thank the Killeagh Camogie Clubmembers and all parents who supplied tea and sandwichesthroughout the week, and assisted in many ways. The welcomecuppa is always a great reviver, and helps to sustain the hard-working coaches. Our thanks and gratitude go to all those whohelped Ursula in any way to run yet another successful camp.Helen O'Connor deserves special mention for organising Ursula'sbeautiful bouquet of flowers (well deserved). Ursula forgives youHelen, on the strength of the home made cookies, you shouldknow by now Ursula likes to remain in the background! Well doneand thanks to all for a fantastic week in Páirc Uí Chinnéide.U-10 Hurling BlitzOur U-10 panel travelled to Rathcormac on Saturday for Round 3of the Go-Games Blitzes.

Senior B Championship.Our senior team began their championship campaign on Fridaylast in Castle Road. Our opponents were Kilbrittain/Timoleagueand boy was it a miserable night. Heartfelt thanks to our loyal sup-porters who braved the elements to come and support the girls. The game opened with a Kilbrittain point from a free. Killeaghquickly replied - a neat pass from Gillian Cunningham to KateMurphy sent the ball over the bar. t Kate who is doing very wellfor such a young player scored our first goal, and captain ClaireKeohane followed with a point. A mellee in the Killeagh goal-mouth saw Kilbrittain get their first goal, followed by anotherpoint. Stephanie Beausang put her name to the score-sheet withour last point of the first half. Alas a long range ball sawKilbrittain get another goal. The half time score was 1-3 to 2-2.Straight off the plane from Australia came Angela Walsh to strikeour first point of the second half. Mary O Connor – a tower ofstrength in the defence line put a 45 over the bar, Clare Keohaneand Gillian Cunningham both scored points before Kate Murphygot another ball into the back of the net. Kilbrittain added anotherpoint to the score in the 21st minute, with Kate Murphy retaliatingwith a point of her own in the 26th minute. Our girls piled on thepressure for the last 5-10 minutes but despite great play furtherscores proved elusive. Well done to Shauna Landers, Aoife Walsh and Kate Murphy – theyoungsters on the panel. Welcome aboard to Niamh O Keeffe onthe occasion of her first outing with the club. It’s great to seeDeirdra Cunningham back playing after a long absence (the Ringof Kerry Cycle certainly did her no harm!).This was a great night out for trainer Kevin O’Connor and the girlsand we hope that it is the first step towards a County Victory!!!! Senior Panel: C Deane, S Smiddy, M Smiddy, AM Walsh, CKeohane, E O Neill, M O’Connor, S Beausang, N O’Donovan, AWalsh, B Stack, G Cunningham, A Walsh, L O’Connor, S Landers,K Murphy, J O’Shea, E Kelly, D Cunningham, K Walsh, AFitzgerald, A Walsh, A Walsh, N Walsh, R Culligan, A R Sisk, NO’Keeffe.Our next game is against Glen Rovers on Wednesday 21st July,followed by fixtures against Bishopstown, Carrigaline and EireOg –dates and venues to be decided.Well done to Mary O’ Connor in her Munster Football victory lastweek, surely a testament to women’s multi-tasking skills whereshe played a camogie match in Athenry and a football match inCork in the one day.

The weather conditions were probably theworst imaginable for pole vaultingSarah Ryan and Nikita Savage competed on Saturday. Sarah wasfirst in to action with a first time clearance at 2.60 metres but hadto do so during a torrential downpour which made vaulting impos-sible. Sarah tried for 2.80 metres but the conditions and the wetpole made it impossible to take off. Nikita opened at 2.80 andcleared it on her first attempt and cleared 3.00 metres but was notable to progress any further due to the weather conditions.
