A good human interest story and a great read!I spoke with Billy Morgan last Saturday at Douglas Books where he was signing his Book – ‘Rebel Rebel’. I began reading the book at the weekend and for any sports fan with an interest in Cork football or even if you don’t, it’s still a good human interest story and a great read. * * *I wrote recently of Billy Clifford (my primary school teacher) and how he was one of the biggest inspirations in my life. I was pleasantly surprised to receive a card in the post last week from the man himself and I am hoping to get a call from him so that we can arrange a time in his busy schedule to have a coffee. * * *Paddy O’Driscoll is a man renowned for his historical knowledge and interest in sports. The Mahon resident was honoured for his service to the community at Mahon Community Centre this week with tributes being paid by Foreign Affairs Minister Michéal Martin, County Mayor Derry Canty and Mahon Community Centre Manager Denis Coffey. Many community leaders, senators, T.D.’s, family and friends were there to celebrate the honour and we at the Post would like to add our heartiest congratulations to Paddy. * * *Well done to the Douglas Intermediate Hurlers who completed the league and championship double last weekend when they defeated Kilworth 3-10 to 1-14. * * *Has anyone noticed how brilliant the moon is in the sky over the past week or so – a beautiful sight and one of these days I’m hoping to get to the observatory at Blackrock Castle to check out this and some of the other planets in our solar system.

Lonely Planet inclusion of Cork as top destination a triumph for the city
Fine Gael Cork Senator Jerry Buttimer said the Lonely Planet travel guide inclusion of Cork in its list of the 'Best in Travel 2010' is a marvelous achievement, reflecting the vibrancy and vitality of the city and its people. “This recommendation from one of the most renowned global travel guides is a tribute to the industry, vision, hospitality and cultural creativity of the people of Cork. As the gateway to the south, Cork offers travelers vibrancy, a unique culture and a warmth of spirit which is second to none. This good news story underlines the potential in Cork which must continue to be built upon if the city is to continue to grow“I am appealing to the relevant groups to redouble their efforts to continue to make sure that Cork is named the festival capital of Ireland. This recommendation raises Cork’s profile at a critical time in the development of the city and the county and it presents a real opportunity to market and sell Cork as a gem in the Irish crown.“Today as a new visitor profile is being opened to Cork, it is essential that the airport tax, which is prohibiting people from traveling to Cork and hindering the growth of the tourism, is eliminated once and for all.”
To celebrate Cork City Ballet’s production of Nutcracker in the Cork Opera •House (Nov 19-21) a special competition took place in Douglas Court Shopping Centre to find the Best Dressed Sugar Plum Fairy and Best Dressed Toy Soldier last Saturday. Pictured is the winner Katelyn Byrne (3) from Douglas.

Rochestown Road Resurfaced But Only Parts Of ItIt was good to see long overdue resurfacing work being carried out on the Rochestown Road but it is disappointing that the Council only provided funding for part of the road to be resurfaced. The Rochestown Road is one of the busiest roads in Cork City. It serves the main city link for thousands of homes in estates along the road and in the greater Rochestown/Douglas area. It is the main road from Cork City to Passage & Monkstown. For thousands of people in Rochestown, Monkstown and Passage it is their route to school or their way to work. Despite the large volume of traffic on this road everyday it has been neglected and allowed slip into a terrible state of repair. I have been working closely with local Cllr. Deirdre Forde to highlight with Cork County Council the current unacceptable condition of the Rochestown Road and to ensure that road improvement works are carried out urgently. After many months and years of asking Cork County Council to take action on this they did undertake some resurfacing at some of the worst sections and junctions of the road last week. While this is positive news the reality will now be some parts of the Rochestown Road with a very good surface linked by a road in serious need of repair with some of the worst potholes in any urban area. While the County Council's decision to resurface only parts of the Rochestown Road may in the short term seem to make sense in reality it is a false economy. The cost of having the road resurfaced now in one large project would in the long run have been better value than doing in stages. Short term budget saving has replaced getting real value for taxpayers' money and this is all too common in Ireland at the moment. Despite these concerns it is good to see resurfacing work carried out on one of the most neglected roads in Cork. Until the Rochestown Road is completely resurfaced I will continue to follow this matter up with Cork County Council and seek to have the funding provided to complete this long overdue work.

It’s a dark and durky November night and the wind and rain are adding to the dull atmosphere, I’d been trying to remember something nice and sunny from summer, when a poem by Frank E Lee of Cork came to mind. His summer experiences in Blackpool England, cheered me up. To many living in the UK, Blackpool is one of the finest holiday resorts in the world, however Frank’s would definitely not agree.
BLACKPOOL BLUES
Friend, ‘ave you ever been to Blackpool?where the huge Tower reaches for the skyand the awful smell of grease is so cruelwafting out and ore every breakfast fry!
Have you ever sauntered down the Golden Mile?and been blinded by all the gaudy slot machineswhere skimpy tops and baggy pants are the styleand there is an endless array of glitzy shebeens. From the early morning to late at nightdrunken hen parties roam littered streetsthey eat and drink with all their mightthen sleep ‘til noon between the sheets!
Every scruffy down at heel hotel has a private barWith special offers - only one ninety for a beerWhile most of the venues don’t even rate a starYet they take bookings now for the New Year!
Fish an chips, beer an burgers, rock and candy flossis devoured by every man woman an child as a ruleThey eat and drink and puke and play pitch and tossSo my friend - run like hell away from Blackpool!
Frank E Lee
Send your poem to ‘The Poetry Corner’ / Douglas Post. Unit 14. Morris House, Douglas, Cork or you can email it direct to [email protected]. If possible keep your poem to 20 lines. You may choose any subject you like, in any form you like as long as it’s original. We look forward to hearing from you.

Cork LivesThroughout November in Cork City Library, a series of talks will take place by the biographers of prominent Cork people, from the world of politics, sport, literature and dance, accompanied by an exhibition on of books on Cork People all month. The following talks are taking place: Tuesday 3 November, 11am -Tim Horgan on Christy Ring; Tuesday 17 November, 7.30pm-Dermot Keogh on Jack Lynch; Thursday 19 November, 11am- Ruth Fleischmann on Joan Denise Moriarty and Tuesday 24 November 7.30pm-Patrick Maume on Daniel Corkery. Cllr Kieran McCarthy noted: ”The City Library’s initiative The Constant Reader is a great programme that should be supported. It is important that the city's library services are kept up especially in an age of budget cutbacks. Membership of a library and involvement in its outreach activities also generates lifelong learning, which is essential to nurture in every generation. The celebration of four of Cork's sons and daughters can show us all the lessons to be learnt from the past, so that we can build a more sustainable future” More at www.corkcitylibraries.ie

Almost 50 years on IWA provides services nationally, including sixty resource and outreach centres; assisted living services; motoring advice, assessment and tuition; youth services; training and education; respite and holidays; wheelchair sales and rental; peer counseling and sport. We work to achieve greater independence, freedom and choice for people living with a disability.Speaking about this year’s campaign, CEO Kathleen McLoughlin commented, “Our annual Angel campaign allows us to generate the funds to provide essential resources and services to many people with disabilities. Our members rely on us for essential services, such as, personal assistants to support them in their daily living. In these tight times, with reduced funding sources, we are doing our very best to avoid cutting the services we provide to our members in their own homes and in the community. We are asking the general public to support our essential work by buying these lovely angel pins and pencils.”The Angel Pins and Pencils which each cost €2 will be sold by a network of volunteers in towns and cities throughout the country. They will be on sale for the month of November.

Lowering Blood Pressure Without MedicationResearch is now starting to show that correcting certain misalignments in the spine can reduce blood pressure. A placebo-controlled study suggests that specific chiropractic adjustments can significantly lower high blood pressure. "This procedure has the effect of not one, but two blood-pressure medications given in combination. It seems to be adverse-event free. We saw no side effects and no problems," according to Dr. Bakris, director of the University of Chicago Hypertension Centre.After undergoing the procedure, 25 patients with early-stage high blood pressure had significantly lower blood pressure than 25 similar patients in a control group. X-rays showed that the procedure re-aligned the Atlas vertebra or C1 - the bone at the very top of the spine.Compared to the control group, those who got the real procedure saw an average 14 mm Hg greater drop in systolic blood pressure (the top number in a blood pressure count), and an average 8 mm Hg greater drop in diastolic blood pressure. "When the statistician brought me the data, I actually didn't believe it. It was way too good to be true," Bakris says. "The statistician said, 'I don't even believe it.' But we checked for everything, and there it was."“If people have high blood pressure, there is a tremendous possibility they could need an Atlas adjustment," he says.Remember, the drop in blood pressure is just one of several effects from an optimally functioning nervous system. Through correcting subluxations (misalignments) in the spine, Chiropractors optimise your
capacity for health by natural means. Please forward any queries to [email protected]: Atlas vertebra realignment and achievement of arterial pressure goal in

BEDWETTING
10 BEDWETTING FACTS PARENTS SHOULD KNOW
The medical term for bedwetting is 1. "enuresis," which refers to bedwetting that is not due to an abnormality of any portion of the urinary tract. Primary enuresis means the child has never been dry, whereas secondary enuresis is the term used for a child who has previously been dry but then starts wetting his bed.
Fifteen percent of five-year-olds or 2. around three to four children in a first grade class, are not dry every night. Eighty-five percent of children eventually outgrow bedwetting without treatment. Bedwetting boys outnumber girls by a ratio of 4 to 1.Bedwetting is not an emotional or 3. psychological problem, nor does it reflect a dysfunctional family. It is a problem of sleeping too deeply to be aware of bladder function.The genetics of bedwetting are similar 4. to that of obesity. If both parents were bedwetters, the child has a seventy-
percent chance of being a bedwetter. If only one parent was wet at night, the child will have a forty- percent chance of following his parent's nocturnal habit.It helps to first understand how children 5. usually achieve bladder control. In early infancy, bladder-emptying occurs mostly by the bladder- emptying reflex. When the bladder reaches a certain fullness and the muscle has stretched to a certain point, these muscles automatically squeeze to empty the bladder. Sometime between 18 months and 2½ years, most children have an awareness of bladder fullness, the first step toward bladder control.

Next, the child becomes aware that he can consciously inhibit the bladder-emptying reflex and hold in his urine. As a result of his urine-holding efforts, his bladder stretches and its capacity increases. When the child can consciously inhibit the bladder-emptying reflex, he achieves daytime bladder control. Nighttime control occurs when the child can unconsciously inhibit the bladder-emptying reflex.Think of bedwetting as a communication 6. problem: the bladder and the brain
don't communicate during sleep. The bedwetting child literally sleeps through his bladder signals. There are late walkers, late talkers, and late dry-nighters. Bedwetting is a sleep problem. New 7. insights into the cause of bedwetting validate what observant parents have long noted: "He sleeps so deeply, he doesn't even know he's wetting the bed." These deep sleepers are not aware of their bladder sensation at night, let alone how to control it. Some bedwetters may have a deficiency 8.
of ADH (anti-diuretic hormone), the hormone that is released during sleep and concentrates the urine so that the kidneys produce less of it during sleep and the bladder doesn't overfill.Normally, bladder fullness works like 9. supply and demand. The bladder fills with just enough urine at night so that it does not overfill and demand to be emptied. Bedwetters may overfill their bladder so the supply outweighs the demand, but because they are sleeping so soundly they just don't tune into their bladder fullness.A small number of children have small 10. bladders that are more easily overfilled.

085 115 1970Minister Dempsey Publishes Road Traffic Bill 2009 Mr. Noel Dempsey TD, Minister for Transport, last week published the Road Traffic Bill 2009, which provides for a reduced blood alcohol concentration (BAC) for drivers and mandatory testing of drivers involved in collisions. The Bill also includes a number of other amendments to road traffic legislation. The new proposed blood alcohol concentration levels contained in this Bill are: Reduction from 80mg of alcohol (per 100 ml of blood) to 20 mg for learner, novice and professional driversReduction from 80mg of alcohol (per 100 ml of blood) to 50 mg for other drivers Minister Dempsey said; “The aim of this Bill is to improve road safety, save lives and reduce serious injuries on our roads. Thanks to the hard work of the Road Safety Authority, An Garda Siochana and others we have made great progress in recent years but we can’t forget that 279 people were killed on our roads last year. Intoxicated driving is one of the main causes of fatalities and injuries on our roads and that is not acceptable. The research in this area is conclusive and irrefutable. Reducing the BAC from its current limit of 80mgs has a proved beneficial effect and will save lives and reduce serious injuries throughout Ireland. It’s the right thing to do.” Minister Dempsey added; “We made a commitment to reduce BAC levels and to provide for alcohol testing at collisions and this new Road Traffic Bill provides for both. I have taken the opportunity in the Bill to introduce other improvements to support the implementation and enforcement of road traffic provisions. We must never become complacent about road safety.”
The Road Traffic Bill 2009 includes provisions to: Introduce administrative fixed penalties for certain drink driving offences (i.e. learner, novice & professional drivers at BAC levels of 20-80mg; other drivers at BAC levels of 50-80mg and 80-100mg)
Introduce Preliminary Impairment Testing (such as co-ordination tests) to assist Gardaí in forming an opinion as to whether a driver is under the influence of an intoxicant (drink or drugs);

Last Week’s Teazer. The parish clerk of a West Cork town received a small parcel from Germany addressed to Mr. Alfred White, she checked the telephone directory but could find no one listed under that name. However, when she inquired at the local pub she was told by some of the town’s old timers that there had been an Alfred White and that after World War 2 , he had married a German and settled in Frankfurt. What was in the parcel ?
Last Week’s Answer. Mr White was , or at least his ashes. His last request was that his remains be interred in the local cemetery. The German authorities did not know who to address the urn to and so came up with a rather strange solution to their dilemma.This Week’s Teazer The little Scottish island of Moray boasts the grandly titled “Bridge over the Atlantic” (The locals gloss over the fact that , at this point the Atlantic is only a few feet wide). The bridge is only single track and every morning McLeod the postman drives his van at breakneck speed over the bridge and onto the island. However, every morning the local milkman drives his van at similar speed across the bridge as he leaves the island.Neither could ever bring himself to give way, so why is there never an accident ?

Cén fáth go dtagann ‘críoch’ leis an tSéasúir Turasóireachta ag tráth seo na Bliana?
Thugamar turas siar go Gaeltacht Chorca Dhuibhne le linn na saoire scoile lár téarmaigh an tseachtain seo thart.Is ar éigin go raibh duine ná deoraí timpeall.

(While there is still time to plant bulbs for spring flowering. It might not be any harm to consider wallflowers. They can add a lot of colour to your garden in late spring. As they flower the same time as tulips. a combination is worth considering. As usual we try to give you a few ideas on what might need doing in your garden this week. Not everything in this article may apply to your garden - but there might be something, if not this week maybe next week.)Flower Garden Protect new evergreens and coniers with windbreak screens in exposed gardens. Mulch slightly tender shrubs such as romneya, solanum and ceratostigma wdh bark or leaves. Stratify rose hips in sand, and expose to frost all winter: rub seeds free in spring and sow in pots. Plant tulips in potting compost in drained pots, and keep dark and cool until shoots emerge. Move colchicums and autumn crocus while in full bloom. Mulch hellebores with compost and protect against slugs. In cold gardens tie up red hot poker leaves to protect crowns.Kitchen Garden Clear away yellow leaves from brassicas such as Brussels sprouts, and
firm in or earth up in exposed gardens. Remove the top nets from fruit cages in case of snow. If bad weather threatens, harvest quinces - best left hanging as store to continue ripening. Leave a shallow trench around stony ground when digging, and during spring cultivation. Dig alternate rows of maincrop potatoes if time presses , and throw loosened soil as protection over those remaining. Sideshoots on trained fruit, shortened to five leaves in summer, need to be further pruned to two buds. Plant blackcurrants in well-manured ground, deeper than they grew before, and prune to 15cm (6in) high.Lawns & Hedges Edge up lawns, tidy and assess any repairs necessary to the turf.Greenhouse Insulate the inside of the greenhouse with fleece or bubble polythene. Pot up weak dahlia tubers, and keep slightly moist and cool under glass until January.Water Garden Check pond heaters are working efficiently.In General Start checking fruit, vegetables and bulbs in store one routine basis, and remove any that are rotting.

Young @ Heartby Phil Goodman
A big thank you to all of those who baked for the bazaar and cake sale, there is nothing really like that home baking!Swine flu is a new flu virus that has been circulating worldwide since April, and it has been declared a pandemic, which is a flu epidemic which spreads around the world. As most cases of this flu strain are either mild or moderate the anti-viral treatment will only be necessary in a small few cases such as Patients who have severe symptoms or patients who are in high risk groups. People in the high risk groups include people with chronic lung, heart, kidney, liver or neurological disease, also people whose immune system has been reduced by medications or disease, people aged 65 and over and people on medication for asthma. The new flu appears to be highly contagious and spreads very quickly from person to person. You should avoid close contact with people who seem ill and have a fever and a cough. You should always carry clean tissues so that you can cover your mouth when coughing or sneezing, and always dispose of used tissues in a bin directly after use. Also wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water. Surfaces should be cleaned regularly to get rid of germs. Also a reminder to check on the elderly neighbours especially those living alone.We are living in a very different Ireland today, compared to the Ireland of our childhood. Every time we open a newspaper or listen to the news another old person has been attacked or robbed in their home it really is a cause for concern. As we face into the long dark nights I am sure we can all identify an older person in our estate or on our street who live alone. Please keep a check on them and never let it be said that “Douglas is not a good place to grow old”.If anybody has aspirations to be on the stage now is your opportunity. We start drama classes every Wednesday 2- 4 in the Douglas library with the very talented Martina as our teacher, and we hope to have a Christmas surprise to showcase the talents of our members. Everyone is welcome to join us on that journey to winning that Oscar maybe you could come along and teach us the tools of the trade (Hollywood here we come).Congratulations to Luke Philpott on his magnificent art exhibition in the Douglas library, you would have to have seen it to appreciate it, “what a talent” well done Luke! It stays on display for another week so why not drop into the library Tues – Sat and appreciate the work of a great artist. Also taking place in the library on Saturday the 14th 11 AM we have a visit by the Irish author Martina Reilly, and then on Thursday the 15th of November we have a talk by the Douglas chiropractor. We have invited John Hinchley of Alzheimer’s to come along and give our members a talk on Dementia and Alzheimer’s as both have touched many lives so I would urge you all to come along and learn more about the disease, John will answer any questions and fears you may have. This takes place in the library at 3 – 3:30 on the 17th of November and all are welcome.Well done to the 13 older people who completed the beginner’s computer course in Douglas community school, who were all presented with their certs. Another 13 started today the 5th of November which will continue for six weeks. Keep your names coming and if I cannot fit you in on this course I will try to fit you in on the next round as I still have a waiting list. We also have classes running in the library, and due to the success of these classes they must be booked in advance so give me a call on 4363867.

St. Vincent’s Centre Art Exhibition St. Vincent’s Centre located on St. Mary’s Road, provides residential and day services to adults with mild to moderate learning disability. An impressive Art Exhibition of the works of the service users was recently officially opened in Blackpool Shopping Centre, by Deputy Lord Mayor, Cllr. Jim Corr. Mr. Alan Crosbie, Chairperson of St. Vincent’s Board of Directors, spoke of the need to learn from those that are “intellectually different” in their attitudes to life and people. Ms. Pam Walsh, art
therapist, spoke of the freedom of expression that art can give to those not readily able to vocally express their feelings and emotions.Ms. Breeda Fitzgerald, a resident of the Centre, spoke eloquently of what art means to her and its importance in her life.Musical entertainment was provided by the wonderful Champagne Cork choral group while Ms. Ann Ralph provided beautiful piano background music.Mr. John Hartnett, and his hard working staff, provided the facilities for the exhibition as well as a wine and cheese reception. The evening was attended by the residents, their families and the many friends of the Centre. The exhibition runs for two weeks in Blackpool Shopping Centre.
One of the Centre’s priorities is to develop on-going links with the community to enhance the lives of service users byIntegrating them into community groups and activitiesPromoting independence and self esteemRaising the level of awareness of learning disability in the local communityEncouraging involvement with the Centre from the local community
POP THE CORK! IRISH BARISTA CROWNED AS ONE OF THE BEST IN THE BUSINESS
Costa Coffee has completed this year’s search for the finest global barista with an Irish contestant collecting third place in the prestigious Global Final of Costa’s Barista of the Year Competition.Held at Costa’s London Roastery on 21st October, Elia Burbello, 23, who works at the Costa store in the Blackpool Retail Park, Cork, convinced the panel of industry expert judges, which included Gennaro Pelliccia, Costa Roastery Technical Manager, and Charles Metcalf, Wine expert and TV presenter, that he deserved to be amongst the cream of the coffee crop. The 10 outstanding finalists had battled through demanding country and regional heats to earn the chance to lay claim to the prestigious title which celebrates Costa’s supremacy in the art of making fantastic coffee. During the competition, the baristas are tested on skills such as their ability to produce a technically impeccable cup of handmade coffee and their knowledge and understanding of the industry. They are also judged on their overall performance, flair and passion for great coffee and in the final round of the competition contestants are tasked with creating their own unique signature drink which is judged on its taste, presentation and innovation. Elia Burbello built a rapport with the audience, judges and made drinks with flair and confidence. Along with his signature drink of Anima Nera (which is a doppio espresso with an infusion of liquorice and star anise) this performance earned him the third prize of £500, and a specially crafted trophy.Elia Burbello commented, “I am absolutely delighted to have finished in the top three. To be awarded for my Barista skills and to be recognised in such a prestigious competition is amazing for me. Coffee is not only my profession but also my passion, and to be presented with this award, by leading coffee industry judges, partly due to my own unique speciality drink, is overwhelming.”This year’s winner was Garbor Kamondi from Dorking, England, and second place went to Jonathan Scott, from Southwaite, England.

Castlemartyr Resort presents cheque for €700 to Ballycotton lifeboat fundraising committee
Castlemartyr Resort, which is part of the Dromoland Group, is located on breathtaking grounds just off the N25 in the village of Castlemartyr. The 5 Star hotel was invited to take part in the recent Midleton Food Fair. They served food to the adults and had a special area for the children, inviting them to ice their own fairy cakes. The stand proved very popular on the day and by 2pm they were sold out. The decision was made to support a local charity and all proceeds taken on the day were donated to Ballycotton lifeboat.
On Thursday evening last, 29 October, a cheque for €700 was presented by Mr. Andrew Phelan, Hotel General Manager, to the Chairman of the Ballycotton lifeboat fundraising committee, Ms. Fiona Flynn.
Ms. Flynn thanked Mr. Phelan and the Castlemartyr Resort for their kind donation. She explained they are constantly looking for new ideas to raise funds for this important charity and would hope to be in touch early next year to discuss a possible fundraising event at the Resort.

I suppose the big news that broke over last weekend was that of the Kino’s financial struggle and the imminent closure. Since then a campaign has been launched to stop Cork's Kino cinema from closing. Hopes for Cork’s independently owned Kino cinema that it may be saved from closure received a major boost over the weekend when more than 300 people attended a public meeting to launch a campaign to save the facility.Owner Mick Hannigan confirmed that a special steering committee has been put in place following the public meeting to both raise funds to pay off a debt of about €60,000 and to develop a business plan to put the 188-seat cinema on a sound financial footing.Mr Hannigan said he was “hugely encouraged” by the public response, with over 4,000 people signing up to a new website, savethekino.com, and by the response at political and civic level to efforts to try and save the cinema.He said he was “cautiously optimistic” for its survival.Among those who attended last weekends meeting were Minister for Foreign Affairs Micheál Martin, Fine Gael TD Deirdre Clune, Labour TDs Kathleen Lynch and Ciarán Lynch, and Senator Dan Boyle. All of the politicians pledged to lobby for support for the cinema. Mr Hannigan told the meeting at the Cork Opera House that the Kino is facing two separate problems: an immediate High Court action brought by its main creditors seeking payment of €50,000; and a more long-term problem of making the cinema financially viable. It is understood an adjournment will be sought by the Kino in the High Court today on an application by Dennehy and Dennehy Design for payment of a €50,000 debt. Mr Hannigan said this will give the cinema “some breathing space”.“This time last week, I was resigned to having to close the Kino but it’s clear now that people not only care about the Kino but are willing to put their hands in their pockets and hold fundraisers – there’s still a
lot of work to be done but the clouds are starting to lift,” he said. Mr Hannigan said he hopes to meet Cork City manager Joe Gavin later this week. He agreed that some significant change would have to take place in the management structure and business model underpinning the Kino if it is to survive.The other side of the coin is that the Kino is technically a business and its no secret that a business survives on customers. The Kino is an alternative art house cinema with an indie type following. Obviously numbers havent been sufficient to keep the business financially stable. What surprises me though is response to something when it is about to disappear, suddenly everyone cares and wants to help. 4,500 people added themselves to a face book site called “save the kino”. It doesn’t take much effort to click the mouse on your computer at home, if only a fraction of these people attended the cinema I’m sure it would be fine. I’m in two minds how I feel personally about the survival and the position such a venue has in the local culture. Meanwhile, wearing his other hat as director of the Corona Cork Film Festival, Mr Hannigan said he was pleased with ticket sales to date, with last night’s opening gala film The Boys are Back selling out along with a number of other main features.“Ticket sales started slowly but have increased significantly every day with the Coen brothers’ A Serious Man [and] Up in the Air with George Clooney already sold out, while the Made in Cork programmes and the Slow Food Evening also selling quickly,” he said.According to Mr Hannigan, Ang Lee’s Taking Woodstock is also selling well, as are a number of documentaries including ones on mining in Butte Montana and Irish showjumping hero Eddie Macken. For further information go to corkfilmfest.org.Two more great events have been announced in the Murphy’s Little Big Nights Out series! Friday November 6th sees the return of The Friday Night Chill n’ Grill, this time hosted by the Rearden’s on Washington Street.

Schoolboy SectionUnder 12Mathew Hill 2 Corinthian Boys B 3On a very wet pitch Cors B got their first league win with a great all round performance from the team. Cors were up for this game from the start and created early opportunities with quality passing in the testing conditions. Darragh Leen and Michael Sherif were very lively up front and when Darragh was brought down in the area Ronan McCarthy (who was powerful throughout) scored from the penalty. With the early lead Cors grew in confidence with William O'Byrne rock solid in goal and the back four of David Cronin, Marcus Barry, Paul O'Mahony and Cormac Hennessy dealing superbly with all Matthew Hill attacks. Ronan Dwane,Geoff Spillane and Richie Hurley got through a huge amount of work in midfield and were very creative and skillful throughout the game.Against a strong wind Cors started the second half very brightly with Miah Rohan now up front with Darragh Leen. Miah and Ronan Dwane both had good attempts at goal before Ronan McCarthy pounced to score from close range and make it 2-0.
Cors were dominant now and Ronan Dwane scored with a great strike from about 20 yards out. Dave Ahern was playing at right back now and making great use of any ball that came his way.Most teams would have given up at 3-0 behind but credit to Matthew Hill who came storming into the game and scored their first goal on a breakawaywhen the Cors defence was caught out of position. A superb strike from Matthew Hill made it 3-2 with about seven minutes remaining. Cors stayed composed to finish strongly and record a first league win. Well done lads ! The victory was well deserved and reward for a stirring and composed performance.
Under 13Corinthian Boys 5 Fermoy 0Corinthians maintained their 100% league record with this comfortable victory over Fermoy. Cian Devine (2), Corey Galvin (2) Jamie Philpott scored for Corinthians and Ben Mc Cauliffe, Evan Galvin, Dylan Walsh and Daniel James played well.

Douglas hurlers complete league and championship doubleDouglas hurlers, completed the league and championship double when they defeated a dogged Kilworth side in the league final on a scoreline of 3-10 to 1-14. This was Douglas’ first outing since their championship triumph and an early goal from Mark Harrington cancelled out a flurry of Kilworth points. A second half goal from Mark Collins after a brilliant Odhrán Mulrooney pass was followed by a Mark Harrington goal with Mulrooney again the provider. Notably for Douglas Theo Cullinane played very well after being brought in to deputise for Frank Tobin. Late points from Harrington and James Moylan secured the silverware for Douglas. Non-playing captain Frank Tobin collected the cup which was presented by Ger Lane, P.R.O. of Cork County Board.Douglas hurlers through to munster semi-final: Prior to throw in the punters gave Kilmoyley as much chance of causing an upset as John and Edward have of winning the X Factor but in truth this was far from one-way traffic. In fact, the game went all the way to extra-time in a contest that very nearly saw Douglas exit the munster championship at the first hurdle. Kilmoyley deserve a lot of credit. They are largely responsible for keeping hurling alive in Kerry and gave Douglas the fright of their lives. Douglas struck many wides but were grateful for points from old reliables James Moylan and Mark Harrington and two super Barry Fitzgerald points. Any team with championship aspirations needs a guy who nine times out of ten will dissect the posts from placed balls and this season Richard Murphy has emerged as a real trump card for Douglas. Despite being positioned on the sideline next to the unforgiving Kilmoyley substitutes and officials Murphy accepted responsibility for a free in the dying seconds of the match. Murphy coolly pointed, Kilmoyley were denied a famous win and the referee blew to signal extra-time as the hail stone came down. Murphy’s point appeared to break Kilmoyley’s spirit and after star wing forwad Mark Collins goaled early in the additional period Douglas were on their way to victory on a scoreline of 1-23 to 1-12. This amazing year for the league and championship winners continues as Douglas play Waterford county champions Dungarvan next weekend in the munster semi-final.

DOUGLAS RFC NewsIt was an uneventful weekend for the younger teams in the club with no fixtures, just training as usual on Saturday morning. The senior team welcomed Shandon RFC to Moneygourney on Sunday last in the league. It was a miserable day and conditions were poor underfoot after all the rain over the weekend, and driving rain showers made life difficult also for ball handling. There were a few missed opportunities for try's in the first half on both sides with Douglas' only score coming from an Andy Larkin penalty, but Shandon lead at the break 6-3.The second half was a much livelier affair, despite the worsening weather and early in the half Denis Kelliher powered over for Douglas' first try.Andy Larkin failed to convert though from a difficult angle. Shandon were quick to recover and kept Douglas under pressure near their line for a while and they were eventually awarded a penalty try for their efforts, easily converted. That was to be their last score of the game though and with another penalty for Douglas and an excellent, well executed try by Deo O'Connor, Douglas were 16-13 winners at the end of an enjoyable second half.Two wins in a row for Douglas which bodes well for the next league fixture, away to Fermoy next Sunday.

Both teams contributed to an excellent game of football with some great goals scored by both sides.The game was close right through, however a burst of three goals from Douglas late in the first half with one each from excellent midfield pair of Paul Fitzgerald and Jamie Davis and one from wing forward Sean Fogarty gave Douglas some breathing space at half time. The Barrs came back and narrowed the gap as the game approached the end. The deciding moment came with 5 minutes to go when Conor O’Brien finished to the net following a well worked move. The lads will now face St. Michaels in the semi final.

G.A.A. FOCUS
Snippets from the Local and National Scene/
By Pat HarringtonSport – ChildrenToday we live in a society where computers / computer games (for our youth) are part and parcel of what we are. In the majority of homes there is at least one if not two cars. My point is that many of our young people are turning into couch potatoes. They are transported everywhere nowadays – to town, school and even to sports events. In some cases they have very little physical activity.I have great admiration for the people who coach, organize and generally work for the benefit of our children. Their first introduction to sport is at 5 / 6 years of age; this should be part of a learning curve only, nothing else, simply helping the child in to understand the basics of the games. A child will try many different sports before opting for the one that suits him/her best. Adults must understand that Street Leagues is not a babysitting service and should not use the organization as such but do everything to encourage and support their children.The Street Leagues, between the ages of 5 and 10 is the lifeblood of the G.A.A. It is where it all starts. Of course each sports organization will promote its own
code but at the end of the day it is the child who will decide which sport he/she likes best. Yes, there will be fallout and that is the nature of things. Actually it annoys me intensely when I hear the elder lemons of organisations criticize the role of the Street Leagues as merely a babysitting service. Of course there will be some young lad out there having a chat with his opposite number, leaning against a goalpost or perhaps waving to his Nana or Grandad. I recall one little fellow on his first day at Street Leagues standing still and crying out on the field. The same lad played with Cork in later years.Funny IncidentsJust last week I watched one under 7 as he waved to his mam and she in turn gave him the thumbs-up. He slowly made his way over to his mam and began to cry – I think he just wanted a cuddle.My wife Joan met a mother at the Chemist shop last week. The lady had brought her son along to get something for his leg which he had hurt. The chemist advised the mother to bring the child to the doctor to have the leg treated. The boy turned to his mother and said “Mam, ask her (Chemist) if I can play in the Street Leagues finals on Saturday.Páidí O’Sé, Arís“Cooper’s omission from the All-stars show that all-stars are light years from the real world”. I quote from the headline of the Páidí Ó’Sé column in the Sunday Indo. He goes on to say that the Gooch got as much abuse off the ball as any he (Páidí) had seen in any such high-profile game / All-Ireland final. Páidí gives the impression of a blinkered commentator;
one wonders if he enjoys being controversial or is he telling us that the Kerry players are untouchable whilst they continue to throw their weight about. Páidí’s own nephew, Darragh has been punished for striking on a number of occasions. What about Kennelly’s comments in his new book. And I quote “I am going to charge in and hit someone at the start” (a reference to his hitting Nicholas Murphy). Paul Galvin has had a very poor disciplinary record, though much improved this year.Páidí, we in Cork are well aware that we have had some hard men. Please do not use the press to put forward the view that the Kerry players are more sinned against that sinned – They are well capable of looking after themselves.Well DoneWell done to the Douglas hurlers on their comprehensive victory over Kilmoyley (Kerry) in the quarter final on the Munster intermediate championship. Douglas now meet Dungarvan next Sunday in the semi-final. Our best wishes go with them. See club notes for time and venue.Best of luck to our neighbours Ballygarvan who contest the county Junior (A) Football championship next Sunday against Glanworth.CondolencesOur sincere sympathy to Christy O’Mahony and family on the death of their father, David. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam uasal.
More next week,Pat.

GRANGEVALE AFC AOH Cup 1st Round: Grangevale 8 – Leeside ‘C’ OHaving been defeated in their 2 previous outings, the Vale took on 3rd division opposition on Sunday morning in the shape of Leeside AFC’s third string team. The adverse weather put a halt to 18 fixtures over the weekend so all credit must go to groundsman Davy Hayes for the trojan work he carried out on Saturday and early Sunday morning making sure that the pitch in Five Mile Bridge was playable.Despite the fact that no less than 10 squad members were unavailable due to injury/illness or holidays, the Vale still managed to field a very strong side showing the importance of having a large squad. Gary Ahern was once again in goal with O’Donovan, Twomey, O’Callaghan and Carroll forming the back 4. In midfield, John Harris, Philip Holland, Colin McKeon and Malik Elmusbahi lined out with Jason Martin and Eric Maher up front. It took only 9 mins for Martin to strike his 1st of 4 and this was followed 5 mins later when he converted from the spot after being brought down en route to goal.The Little Islanders could have thrown in the towel, but, to their credit, they persevered and were unlucky on at least 2 occasions not to have scored, poor finishing and an in - form Ahern denying the visitors on each occasion.2-0 at half time is always a dangerous scoreline and with this in mind, the Vale started the 2nd half with the same intensity as the 1st. With 50mins on the clock, Martin struck for his hat trick and now it really was a case of how many? Noonan and Troy replaced Elmusbahi and O’Donovan and it wasn’t long until Holland added a 4th for his first goal of the season and Maher made it 5-0 with the best goal of the game. Martin then made it 6 before being replaced by McSorley who added another soon after his introduction and the haul was completed by Harris who had done everything but score throughout and fully deserved a goal for his display.Next week the Vale travel to Clashduv to take on old foes Pearse Celtic in an FAI Cup 2nd round cup game. Kick off 2.30pm. Malik Elmusbahi•
