REFLECTION: From an anonymous State Trooper

I’m not a fan of all electric vehicles. Too many variables affecting battery consumption. Definitely not suited for cold climates. The following experience just cements my distaste for EV’s, especially Teslas.

I get sent to a motorist assist the other day, at the start of our snow storm. Tesla on the side of the interstate, dead battery. So I arrive on scene and the occupants have the right-front door open. They tell me that they can’t open any other doors, because the battery is dead. Sure enough. Can’t open the doors from inside or outside. The driver also can’t get her license out of the glove box where she put it during their trip. Because the glove box opens electronically… and the battery is dead. You actually have to use the computer in the centre of the dash to open the glove box.

They said they had 10% battery left, should’ve been plenty to get from that location to the charging station nearby. Then all of a sudden the whole car shut off and they coasted to the shoulder.

So now I have to find them a tow. No one wants to tow EV’s. Finally found one company to do it. 8 mile trip to the charging station in Tomah. $1,000! Normal vehicle on the flatbed would’ve been $150.

So now we’re at the Tesla superchargers. Guess what. Can’t open the f’n charging port because the battery is dead!!! The ports open, you guessed it, electronically!. And we also can’t open the doors now (had to close the one open door when it was loaded onto the wrecker). The owners manual is in the on board computer, but the battery is dead.

I got the occupants to a store where they’d be warm while calling the rental company to figure out how to charge this POS, so I’m not sure of the outcome. I had to leave for a crash report.

I’ll stick with my dinosaur burner.

PASSOVER: Pesach 2023 begins before sundown on Wednesday, April 5, 2023, and ends after nightfall on April 13, 2023.

Note: The Jewish calendar date begins at sundown of the night beforehand. Thus all holiday observances begin at sundown on the secular dates listed, with the following day being the first full day of the holiday. (Thus, the first Passover seder is held on the evening of the first date listed.) Jewish calendar dates conclude at nightfall.

The first two days of Passover (from sundown of the first date listed, until nightfall two days later) are full-fledged, no-work-allowed holiday days. The subsequent four days are Chol Hamoed, when work is allowed, albeit with restrictions. Chol Hamoed is followed by another two full holiday days.

NHS: On 5 July 1948, in the same year that the Empire Windrush docked at Tilbury, the National Health Service (NHS) was established. An unprecedented number of healthcare workers were needed to staff Britain’s new health service.

Consequently, the British government began to recruit doctors, nurses and healthcare workers from Commonwealth countries and its colonies. Many passengers who migrated to Britain after the Second World War would go on to work for the NHS. Indeed, Sullivan was one of seven passengers on the Empire Windrush who listed their occupations as ‘Nurse’. Of these seven, six were female and one was male.

PEE: Uroscopy was first record in the fourth millennium BCE and became common practice in the fifth and fourth centuries BCE, recognized for its utility as one component in a physician’s diagnostic repertoire. By the thirteenth century, the practice had been imbued with a perception of prestige and infallibility. There was hardly a “greater source of glory” to a medieval physician than the study of urine, wrote Andreas Leennius, himself a medieval physician. Not only could precise diagnoses be made, but the patho-physiological pathway behind the ailment could even be thoroughly explained, simply by looking at pee.

VPN stands for virtual private network, and there are several different kinds, but their general aim is the same: keeping your digital activities and location private. Using a VPN with your computer, phone, or another internet-enabled device can do things like mask your I.P. address and encrypt your internet connection. It’s a great way to get around location-based firewalls (a.k.a. geoblocking) and other forms of internet censorship.

DEATH 100 years ago:

The River Man- The Documentary

Why was an Irishman executed by other Irish men a century ago? The Anglo-Irish Treaty, signed 100 years ago, brought an end to the Irish War of Independence and ending centuries of British colonial control. Ireland became the first nation to break away from the British Empire.

During the war members of the IRA were pitted against the Royal Irish Constabulary, the British Army and the notorious Black and Tans and Auxiliaries. It’s a story of divided loyalties and the unresolved traumas of war, with resonance today as Britain and Ireland struggle to address the legacy of the more recent violence of the Troubles in Northern Ireland.

In an investigation into the fate of one man, James Kane, the River Man, executed by the IRA a century ago, Fergal Keane explores some of these issues. Why did they kill him and what were the consequences for his family and his executioners?

WAR: At the end of the war, photos show dead soldiers in the trenches, sprawled out, crooked or lying mutilated in the mud. And we also see the pictures of men returning, of tired, emaciated or wounded bodies and numbed, empty faces. They were targets, and they survived. But 10 million soldiers and six million civilians were killed in that war.

AGE: Shannon Lawlor By Shannon Lawlor- published February 15, 2023

Today, anti-ageing is often considered a dirty term, with society increasingly telling women to embrace their grey hairs and wrinkles; that age is something to be celebrated and flaunted. At surface level, it would appear we’ve come a long way over the years.

However, images of Madonna at the Grammy awards (opens in new tab), which spread like wildfire across social media and the press recently, tell a different story. News headlines labelled her as “unrecognisable”. One particularly poignant viral Tweet declared: “Letting yourself age gracefully is far more beautiful than plastic surgery.

MISSIONARIES: Foundation of the mission in East Africa

Amongst the most remarkable facts of this time, we must mention the foundation of the mission in East Africa. This had its origin in Reunion in 1860, when Mgr Maupoint, moved by the condition of the slaves, sent his Vicar-General, M. Fava to the Sultan of Zanzibar. M. Fava was himself once a student at the Saint-Esprit Seminary and was accompanied by two other priests, then by some Filles de Marie, founded by Le Vavasseur and some lay people.

When they arrived there, these missionaries quickly understood that this mission was beyond them. The Bishop of Reunion then asked Fr. Schwindenhammer, the Spiritan Superior General, to take it over. That is how the Tanzanian mission began, with the first Spiritan missionaries being sent from Reunion – Frs. Horner, Baur and some brothers.

Good Friday is the most solemn day of the Christian year.

It is the day our Savior died for us.

It is the day we were redeemed from our sins by the voluntary death of God Himself at the hands of man. Here are 9 things you need to know.

2023 April 19 Knockanure

KNOCKANURE

CHANGE in Mass Schedule. At a recent meeting of the Area Pastoral Council (with representatives from Listowel, Moyvane, Knockanure, Lixnaw, Iremore, Rathea, Duagh, Lyrecrompane) the provision of Mass for the 8 communities of the region was reviewed. After exploration of possibilities, given the decline in the number of priests (4 at the moment), it was proposed that, among other adjustments, Moyvane-Knockanure would continue to have its vigil Mass on Saturday evenings at 7.30 and morning Mass at 9.30 in Knockanure. Moyvane Sunday 11.00am Mass may be dropped so that the resident priest (for now) in Moyvane could provide Mass elsewhere in the area at that time. Before this arrangement is confirmed, your comments are welcome, preferably in writing, to Fr. Brendan before May 1st. They will be respected and included in any ultimate outcome.

ROSARY will be said in Knockanure during May on Tuesday and Thursday evening.

PARISH: Confessions: Moyvane Saturday 6.45pm to 7.15pm. Eucharistic Adoration every Tues. after 10.00am Mass to 11.30am. 2nd Collection at all Masses 22 & 23rd April, Peter ’s pence. Also gentle reminder to please return Trocaire boxes at Mass times.

APRIL 16TH Divine Mercy Devotions in St. Mary’s Church, Listowel: from 3pm. to 4pm. It will include prayers, benediction and confessions will start at 2.30pm.

The Divine Mercy Sunday origin is from a revelation to Saint Faustina, a Sister of Mercy in Poland who initiated the Divine Mercy devotion. Between 1930 and 1938 Jesus requested numerous times a Feast of Divine Mercy. On May 5, 2000, five days after the canonization of Saint Faustina, the Vatican decreed that the Second Sunday of Easter would henceforth be known as Divine Mercy Sunday.

Mass and devotions for Divine Mercy Sunday will be celebrated in the Church of the Assumption, Abbeyfeale, beginning at 2.30pm. All are welcome to attend.

MOORE: I was born in Queensland the fourth of six children, Fourth generation Australian born on my mother’s side who were predominantly of Irish stock who came to Australia post the famine years (for the most part from the counties of Tipperary, Wicklow and Donegal). My father came to Australia from Dublin in the 1950s; his father was raised in Maam Connemara and later in Kilkee County Clare but the Moore family going back were from Kilmorna, later known as Kilmeany near Listowel. His mother, was a Barrett from Ennis, County Clare, that whole family very involved in those troubled years of the war of independence in Ireland. Also just out of interest I was part of a little Folk/Irish trio called Welder’s Dog for 10 years or so, with a brother of mine David and our friend Peter Harris, some of our music is still on YouTube I believe. If you listen to Castle Hill Patriots, that is my Dad singing Boolavogue at the start of that song.

Poetry from Michael Patrick Moore

Half (23 out of 46) of all presidents of the United States of America can claim a degree of Irish Heritage. In fact, since John F. Kennedy’s trip to Ireland in 1963, almost every US President has traveled to Ireland. This week, we welcome President Joe Biden, he’ll be celebrating 25 years of peace in Northern Ireland with us as well reconnecting with his Blewitt roots in County Mayo and Finnegan roots in County Louth.

P a r t i c u l a r s of a remarkable find in West Limerick nave been learned which are of considerable interest to antiquarians. At Knocknaboul, a bog situate midway between Abbeyfeale and Athea, a string of beads, numbering 100, and graduating in circumference from the size of a crown piece

to a three penny bit, made of Baltic or Scandinavian amber, were dug up by a labourer, in the bog, some ten feet below the surface, together with a number of Penannular Rings, and Fibulae. Most of the articles are as sound as the day they were deposited on the spot, which was then devoid of bog. The articles have been deposited in the National Museum. Some years ago, in the course of a turf-

cutting operation, about 400 yards distant from the place where the articles were discovered, a solid oak paling,

MOTHERS’ PRAYERS; Mothers Prayer Group was started in England in 1995

by two grandmothers. They felt led by the Lord to pray in a special way for their

children. Through prayer they learned that Jesus wishes all mothers to surrender

their children into His care. To take away pain from the mothers and to pour

blessings on their children. Mothers’ prayers have now spread throughout the

world and are in over 100 countries. There have been many wonderful answers to

prayer. Our local meeting is held in St Brigids Oratory, Church of Resurrection,

Park Road, Killarney every Wednesday from 10 to 11 oclock. This year we

celebrate twenty years with Mass at 9.30 @ Church of Resurrection on 19th April.

Any ladies with an interest in praying for children are more than welcome to join us.

At a recent meeting of the Area Pastoral Council (representatives from Listowel, Moyvane, Knockanure, Lixnaw, Iremore, Rathea, Duagh, Lyrecrompane) the provision of Mass for the 8 communities of the region was reviewed.

Moyvane Sunday 11.00am Mass may be dropped so that the resident priest (for now) in Moyvane could provide Mass elsewhere in the area at that time.

EARTH DAY 22nd of April; I share a few ideas below to help us rethink compulsive consumerism and its effects on the earth. Some of the ideas are directly about reducing consumption and re-using items you already own, but many simply challenge all of us to grow in deeper communion with each other.

So, with that in mind, here is my (by no means exhaustive) list of ideas to help you celebrate our Earth today:

1. Start composting your food scraps

Not only does it reduce your trash, you end up with a nutrient-rich amendment for your garden. Don’t feel like you have to splurge on a prefabricated bin, there are plenty of DIY plans online that use items you can find around your neighborhood. Even apartment dwellers can get creative with a worm farm. Be sure to keep a good ratio of browns:greens (carbon:nitrogen) and avoid tossing in your dairy and meat products.

2. Eat your food

According to Feeding America, almost 40% of the food in our country is thrown away. So, before you go out to a restaurant, check your fridge first. If your own food doesn’t look appetizing anymore, invite friends over for a leftover night. And if you really can’t bring yourself to eat your remnants, you can make delicious broth with past-their-prime vegetables and even freeze wilted greens for future smoothies.

The death has taken place of James Cotter, of Kilconlea, Abbeyfeale at the age of 102 years. Mr. Cotter who was an old age pensioner, and who, up to twelve months ago was able to call personally at t h e local Post Office for his pension, w a s a man Of robust health, and a stranger to Illness.

He was a young man when Daniel O’Connell, the Liberator, passed periodically from Derrynane to Limerick, and often recounted the inconvenience he experienced In crossing the flooded Feale previous to the erection of the Feale Bridge in 1837. His knowledge of the history of t h e White-boy movement, in the early twenties was most interesting, as was also his recollection of West Limerick incidents of the ’48 and ’67 periods.

FARMING: prospects for the Irish economy in 2023, often overlooking Irish food production.

Without sounding like a broken record, none of these agencies, as exemplified by the recent reports from the Economic and Social Research Institute (ESRI) or the Central Bank, make any reference to the outlook for Irish agriculture or agri-business.

Any objective assessment of Irish economy prospects must surely have something to say about a business sector that supports 220,000 jobs (almost one job in 10 in the Irish economy – CSO).

WILDFIRES: Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS) scientists’ monitoring of wildfires around the world tracked significant increases in wildfire carbon emissions for some European regions in summer 2022, following the hot and dry conditions.

The total estimated emissions across the EU countries for summer 2022 were the highest since 2007. France, Spain, Germany and Slovenia also experienced their highest summer wildfire emissions for at least the last 20 years, with southwestern Europe seeing some of the largest fires on record in Europe.

On April 11, 1963, John XXIII issued the encyclical Pacem in Terris, a powerful call for a world in which there were neither victims nor executioners that cemented the pontiff’s reputation as “Good Pope John.” With the world having teetered on the brink of nuclear war during the October 1962 Cuban missile crisis, a papal appeal for “peace on earth” was well received everywhere, including the Soviet Union — although the view in some Vatican quarters that the masters of the Kremlin took the encyclical’s message to heart was rather naive.

What, then, did Pacem in Terris teach? And how does its analysis of world affairs look, six decades later?

SYNOD 2021-2024 FOR A SYNODAL CHURCH: communion, participation and mission

In October 2021 the Catholic Church’s synodal process on the theme of synodality began. This was

the first time that a worldwide listening process and consultation with parishes and dioceses was

attempted and many people in Ireland took part in a listening process during the early months of

2022. Did you take part? Have you been wondering what happened after that?

Much has happened since then. Your participation formed part of our national document that was

sent to the Synod office in Rome in August 2022. It also formed part of a global document called

Enlarge the Space of Your Tent, which was published last October, and then formed part of a

presentation given by the Irish delegation that travelled to Prague this February for the first ever

Continental Assembly of the Catholic Church’s synodal process. Please visit

The man who made Captain Boycott’s name a household word is dead.

The “father” of football in Mayo, John Egan, who has died at his home in Belcarra, near Castlebar, aged over 100 years, was 24 when, as a ganger on the Castlerea-Westport railway, he gained country-wide fame by his refusal to salute Captain Boycott and by his threat to dismiss every employee in his charge who failed to do like-wise. (Break)

—

Too old to attend the matches in which his county team took part during the past eight years, Mr. Egan declared he was the happiest man in Ireland when he heard of Mayo’s first S e n i o r ‘ All-Ireland final victory in 1936

The death of the Very Rev. John Harnett, P. P., of St. Louis Obispo, Fresno, California, which took place In Los Angeles In his forty-fourth year, is much regretted in West Limerick and East Kerry.

He was assigned the task of reconstructing the old mission building of St. Louis Obispo, and founded a museum, to which he restored some very valuable paintings and other works of art connected with the original museum.

William Burke Dowling, of Ballintubrid House, Monagea, West Limerick, who died December 8, 1938, and was laid to rest in the family vault in Ardagh Cemetery. I t was one of the largest funerals seen in the neighbourhood in many years. The Doolings are one of the oldest Celtic-Norman families in

West Limerick.

An icy blast was in the air,

The snow was on the ground,

‘Twas drear and wint’ry ev’rywhere

And desolate all ’round

The Banshee’s cavin was heard again

One sad, sad yesterday

O’er Ballintubrid’s verdant plain—

A Dowling pass’d away.

He ever was the poor man’s friend

And to those in’ distress,

The helping hand he’d ever lend.

Tm sure that God must bless

A one so kind to fellow men—

A heart so full of love—

I feel he’s with Him, there, tonight

In fairer Land above

Oh, Gael of Gaels with Norman blood—

Your dust’s at rest, today,

In vault in Ardagh’s Cemetery

By aged head-stones gray,

And while you sleep in silence deep,

I somehow wonder why,

For all the kindness you have done,

A one like you should die.

Weep not for him dear friends at home

Nor those o’er ocean blue,

An honor he has even been

To Eire and to you.

Yes, Lim’rick’s grandest, well-lov’d son

Alas, has pass’d away

And hearts are sad and lonesome now—

There’s grief in Monagea.

Shades of the past! The scene is chang’d

Around that dear old place;

His cheery voice they do not hear

Nor see his smiling face.

But he is happy with the Blest

Up there ’round God’s white Throne,

Where grief and heart-ache’s enter not

And partings be unknown.

But brighter days will soon be here-—

The flow’rs will bloom anew

And skies that be so darksome now

Will wear an azure hue,

But you will riot be there to see

The coming Spring illume,

For you are in a fairer Land

Where flow’rs Eternal bloom.

T. D. SHANAHAN,

Berkeley, Calif. Jan., 1939.

UCC which is presided over by Prof. Alfred O’Rahilly, one of the most outspoken! proponents of every thing that is Irish In Celtic Ireland. A group of young Corkmen, disciples of Finn McCool,

Took it on themselves to demolish the “lion and unicorn”

“It is rather an amazing state of affairs,” he said, “that young Catholic students should be found to defend in our newspapers what is an offence not merely against the civil law but also against the moral law.

“In spite of the attempt to hide under the cloak of patriotism their conduct was merely a variant of the hooliganism which last year prevented a photograph of the graduates by means of a discharge of sods of grass. (see paper for much more)

We notice that our position in the matter of floods and the harm done by them to the farms and the countryside has been sustained by The Kerryman.

That bright and interesting journal asserts that besides giving employment to thousands the land could be drained, hills and wasteland planted with trees, rivers dredged and the banks or sides walled up to prevent overflow and flooding.

It is a fact that of the 116 centenarians who were recorded in the last census only 14 lived in town areas and 102 in rural districts. Sixty-three per cent of the population of the Free State is resident in what can be described as non-urban areas, where, for the most part, people conform their habits to the seasons and are “far from the madding crowd” and the bustle of city circumstances of existence.

Statistics of centenarians demonstrate that not much more than one in three of centenarians is a man.

The 1926 census showed that 74 were females and 42 males; 33 were widowers and 57 widows. While two male centenarians had not married, there were fifteen spinsters, but two women had husbands alive, and two men had their wives still with them

West Limerick “Hoaxer,” who got the local bellman to announce on Sunday last, to all whom

it may concern, that Mr. B . — — — , some well-known Cross-Channel buyer of greyhounds, would attend at Abbeyfeale Market on Monday to buy all sorts and breeds of greyhounds.

It was not an original idea, because a similar announcement was made at Newcastle West some time

during the Boer War, when mules and donkeys having been sent to the Velt as invulnerables against the “Rinderpast,” there was every reason to believe that dogs would come in there handy, too.

(Break)

It was not until time was stealing Its way into the afternoon of that memorable day, as we learned at the time, and no dog jobber had put in an appearance, that the weary owners, who were in part responsible for the greatest concentration of undesirable curs and mongrels in the history of West Limerick, laid their plans for as dignified a retreat from the ‘Dog Fair” as was possible under the

circumstances. Retreats are usually difficult affair. (See paper for full story)

SWEET MARY MOLONEY.

‘Sure they say, my sweet Mary Moloney,

Your heart is as hard a a stone,

But I’m hoping ’twill melt for me,

Mary,

For, I’m wearied of living alone.”

The farmer of Ballycoolvane;

But her eyes answered “No” to his

pleading,

And her red lips were curled with

disdain.

BANTRY BAY

As I’m sitting all alone in the gloaming,

It might have been yesterday

That I watched the fishers’ sails all homing

Till the little herring fleet at anchor lay;

Then the fisher girls with baskets

swinging

Came running down the old stone way:

Every lassie to her sailor lad was singing

A welcome back to Bantry Bay.

Then I heard the piper’s sweet note tuning.

And all the lassies turned to hear,

And they mingled with a soft voice crooning

Till the music floated down the

wooden pier;

“Save you kindly, colleens all,” said

the piper;

“Hands across and trip it while I

play,”

And a tender sound of song and

merry dancing

Stole softly over Bantry Bay.

As I’m sitting all alone in the gloaming,

The shadows of the past draw

near,

And I hear the tender voices round

That used to glad the old brown

pier;

Some are gone upon their last long

homing,

Some are left, but they are old and

gray;

And we’re waiting for the tide In the

gloaming

To sail upon the great highway.

To the land of rest unending

All peacefully from Bantry Bay.

There are quite a few talented and heroic figures in Chicago I have been mentioning in this

column during the last few weeks. Con Dee, the surviving hero of the Valley of Knockanure tells his story. Edward Carbray’s research into Irish and Irish American names (see paper)

——————–

Con Dee s story continued.

Con Dee in the name of his dead comrades tells the story of Knockanure. (Cont.) May 1921. After 11

o’clock the same day a volunteer by the name of Buckley from Listowel came to Walshe with a dispatch which stated that a conversation of a certain woman in Listowel with the police was overheard by a barmaid. This woman told the police that a mission was being held in Athea and that it was more than likely that the West Limerick Column would be attending devotions there. She also said that she would get all the Information she could from a friend of hers who had a religious good stand at the Mission.

When I relayed the message to the others, we decided under the circumstances would we let the West Limerick column be trapped. We immediately made arrangements for Paddy Dalton and I to proceed at once to Athea. Paddy Walshe had called a meeting of the Boy Scouts for that night to be held at O’Connors of Gouhard. So it was decided that we should remain for the meetings as we depended a great deal on the Scouts-who had been organized by Batt of Guhard. They were active and alert in reporting everything of importance and were very dependable in the carrying out of dis-

patches of Importance. Dalton and I decided that we’d make faster time if we travelled without arms. We felt time was of the utmost importance to forewarn our comrades. We travelled by way of Tullamore, Knockanure, along the river Gale to Kilbaha, where we stopped at Hanrahan’s and some refreshments. We continued along the river as far as possible and men cut across and arrived in Athea about 3 o’clock in the afternoon. We visited our good friend, Josie Liston and told her our

mission. She immediately contacted The West Limerick Column and the local volunteers. That evening we contacted the local mailman and made arrangements to meet him next morning and censor the mail We then went to devotions for at no time did any of the fighting- men miss an opportunity to attend church if at all possible. After devotions, Patrick Dalton and I visited the Fathers who were staying at Danaher’s Hotel. We told them also of our mission. They were very angry to think such a thing could happen and wanted to have the woman put out of the village right away, but we objected as we thought we might get some information from the mails

We attended devotions for three nights and visited with the priests until 11 o’clock each night. These

missioners were splendid and most entertaining. I remember one -Father Devine. When speaking of

him in the village we would say: “Devine by name, Divine by nature”

Our contributor Mr. T. D. Curtin, sends us the following letter he received from Father Mulvihill of Mississippi City.

Dear Mr. Curtin:

I wish to thank you so sincerely for your interesting and informative letter, as also for the words of “Adare” which I received a week or so ago.

My delay in answering was because I have been under the weather for the past few days.

Strange, but your home and mine were within “A stone’s throw” of each other in the “Old Sod.” I know of and where Rockchapel is situated—tho’ I have never been actually there, strange as it may seem.

I first saw the light of day in Athea in West Limerick on the borders of Kerry. Probably you know where it is—or you may have been there. Athea Is only six miles from Abbeyfeale. I know every stone of it. Used to attend its fairs and markets: its horse races and its foot-ball games. I was a competitor in – h i g h jumping and running at its G.A.A. sports, and in step-dancing at one of its Feiseanna. So you see. Yes, I went to the National Schools at Athea, and took what they would call in this Country a post-graduate course at Newcastle West, under J. D. Musgrave—you may have heard of him. By the way, a Michael Curtin and I were students at All-Hallows College for a good manv years. He, when Ordained went to Madras India. His home was from Rockchapel. I was just wondering if you knew him.

Poetry

I have no mother! for she died

When I was very young;

But still her memory round my heart,

Like morning mists, has clung.

They tell me of an angel form,

That watched me while I slept,

And of a soft and gentle hand

That wiped the tears I wept.
