Tidy Towns 2017
The 2017 Tidy Towns results were
announced on Monday 25th
September at an event in the Helix
Theatre Dublin. The Tidy Towns
competition was first introduced in
1958 by Bord Fáilte ( now Fáilte
Ireland). It was originally part
of ‘Tostal’, a nationwide festival
celebrating all things Irish. Tidy
Towns rapidly developed its own identity and has gone on to become
Ireland’s most well known and popular local environmental initiative.
The Tidy Towns initiative always focuses on community involvement, working
with local county council to develop and maintain
the local environment. Congratulations to
Toormore for increasing their marks from 259 to
262 in Category A - population 0-200. I also would
like to congratulate Schull and Ballydehob. Schull
for increasing their marks from 276 to 285 in
Category B population 201-1000 and Ballydehob
also in Category B for winning a Bronze Award and
increasing their marks from 316 to 320.

Brendan Molloy of Lowertown is
pleased to announce the arrival, on
Friday September 29th, of a Russian
Youth Choir to West Cork. The choir
which goes by the name of, 'Stavros
Youth Choir' comes from the city of
Tolyatti, which is in the south east
region of European Russia. There will
be 21 people in the group which is
predominantly made up of young
people both male and female. The
choir has performed in many cities
throughout Europe but this will be their very first visit to Ireland. Whilst they
are in West Cork, they will be performing two concerts, details of which are
as follows. The first choir will take place on Saturday September 30th. at St
James Church, Durrus at 8pm and the second concert will take place at Ab-
beystrewry Church Skibbereen on Sunday October 1st. at 3pm. The choir was
originally meant to come to West Cork back in August but due to a visa tech-
nicality the choir was forbidden to travel to Cork via London. This caused
much personal and financial stress along with much disappointment to the
group, but however they were so determined to come to West Cork, they re-
booked fights and are now very much looking forward to their visit to West
Cork. Brendan hopes that the West Cork welcome which is now recognised
and respected throughout many parts of the world, including Russia will be
afforded to this young group and that many people from our local communi-
ties will attend the concerts and experience the beautiful voices and singing
of the choir. Concert ticketing details are as follows;
St James Church, Durrus: €10 Adults; €5 Students/Children.
Contact Brendan Molloy on 087-972-3385; 028-48242. or Brendan O'Dwyer

Health Matters -Look After Yourself! Seasonal Flu Vaccine Information - HSE Guidelines:
There has been a steady increase in the number of cases of flu in recent years.
Flu is a very infectious and potentially serious illness and a new flu vaccine must be given each year.
Flu can cause severe illness and can even be life threatening for older people, those who have a long term illness and pregnant women.
Flu is a highly infectious acute respiratory illness caused by the influenza virus.
Influenza affects people of all ages. Outbreaks of flu occur almost every year, usually in winter. This is why it is also known as seasonal flu.
Flu can be prevented by vaccination. Flu vaccination is a safe, effective way to help prevent flu infection, avoid hospitalisation and reduce flu-related deaths and illnesses.
Get the vaccine, not the flu! The HSE is urging people in at-risk groups to get vaccinated against influenza. Vaccination is strongly recommended for:
persons aged 65 and older
those with long term medical conditions such as diabe-
tes and chronic heart, kidney, lung or neurological dis-ease
people whose immune system is impaired due to dis-
ease or treatment including all cancer patients
persons with a Body Mass Index (BMI) over 40
pregnant women (at any stage in pregnancy)
residents of nursing homes and other long stay institu-
tions
people with regular close contact with poultry, water fowl or pigs
health care workers, carers
If you are in one of the at risk groups and have not had your flu vaccine, contact your GP or pharmacist to get the vaccine NOW
If you are 65 or over or have a long term medical condition you should also ask your doctor about the pneumococcal vaccine.
The HSE provides the flu and pneumococcal vaccines free of charge for all those in the at-risk groups.
Those aged 18 years or older in the at-risk groups may at-tend either their GP or pharmacist for vaccination and those under 18 years should attend their GP.
The vaccine and consultation are free for those with a Medi-cal Card or GP Visit Card.
Those without a Medical Card or GP Visit Card will be charged a consultation fee.
The seasonal flu campaign for 2017/2018 will continue until the end of April 2018.
Reminder: Goleen & District Community Council and the
HSE are facilitating a safeTALK workshop on Monday 2nd Oc-
tober 2017 from 7 - 10pm in Goleen Community Centre.
The purpose of this workshop is to learn four basic steps to
recognise when people have thoughts of suicide, and what to
do. The course will help you to identify people with thoughts
of suicide and connect them to suicide first aid resources. Most people with
thoughts of suicide don’t truly want to die, but are struggling with pain in
their lives. safeTALK-trained helpers can recognise these symptoms and take
action by connecting them with life-saving intervention resources, such as
caregivers trained in ASIST. The safeTALK training programme is suitable for
everyone over the age of 18 years of age , who would like to help prevent
suicide in the community.
People wishing to attend the workshop or looking for further infor-
mation please contact: Bernard O’ Sullivan by phone or email:
087-963-2281 [email protected]
