Charity Road-Sign Missing
Road-signs for a charity truck event taking place on Sunday 31st October in the Green Glens Arena, were erected around the locality during the week. One of these signs has gone missing! It was placed at the Millstreet Junction by the Sandpit Bar on Tuesday evening and had been removed by 5pm Wednesday. We contacted the County Council and they had not removed the sign. We would appreciate if anyone with information could contact 087 2030518 or better again, if whoever has removed it, would be kind enough to return it. It is after all, a charity event for two sick little girls.

Ideally Rebel needs a indoor and outdoor life with no dogs, at least where the dogs pay him no attention. He is a sweet gentle cat who loves his cuddles. His owner is heartbroken and would love to find him a new home.

Eily’s Report 19th Oct. 2021
Dia is Mhuire díobh go léir a Cáirde and welcome to my weekly Report.
Sometimes it’s good for us to be held back ,restrained for a while,it lets us appreciate what a wonderful thing freedom is ,and that when we have it, to put it to good use. Now that there is an easing of restrictions in the Covid situation ,the whole world seems to be rearing to go. At the moment the weather itself is playing it’s part .We have only to open our Millstreet Website and see accounts of the outdoor events which have been happening around us. Things for young and old to enjoy ,and people there to see that it happens. Soft balmy days ,and nights which often give us heavy rain to keep our streams and wells supplied with the mysterious fluid which we cannot do without. In former years I can remember dry periods which left the farmer concerned about his crops . Local streams and wells would run dry and cattle could be heard for miles around , lowing for water. Some districts were more affected than others ,hilly fields would turn brown and the untarred roads would become dusty. In such times the unwelcome task of drawing water to cattle and for other farmyard uses, became nessessary. Churns which were used only for milk, doubled as tanks, loaded on the horse cart and taken to the nearest sourse of uische. If a person was lucky enough to have help, it made the job reasonably easy, using two buckets ,with one on board taking the full buckets and the other drawing. But for one alone ,not so easy, because when trying to reach up and get the bucket emptied into the tank, it was hard not to get all wet from splashes and near misses. But it had to be done and many trips a day made for as long as the dry weather continued. Where tillage fields were affected, those who were fortunate enough to have a stream which outlived the drought, they adopted the system of irrigation. Using the horse and plough they opened a rut or sod all along the top of the drills ,and turned the water into it ,and at several places along the way they made openings for the water to run downhill along the drills, and kept the precious crops of potatoes, or turnips or cabbage etc alive and flourishing until the Good Lord sent rain again.

Sincere Sympathy to Hannelie and the O’Connor Family
On behalf of the Millstreet Website Team we wish to extend our sincere sympathy and prayers to Hannelie, to Shane, to Alan and the members of the extended O’Connor Family on the very sad departure of Maurice to his Eternal Heavenly Reward. R.I.P.. It was Hannelie supported by her beloved husband, Maurice who first established the Millstreet Website providing such a magnificent means of local and global communication. Millstreet will forever be hugely grateful for this superb initiative decades ago. As the years progressed the Website Team grew in numbers and in confidence. Maurice – forever the True Gentleman – always so wonderfully friendly with such a great smile, supportive, caring, welcoming, a splendid sense of humour and possessing an inspiring strong Faith. In the world of Sport, Maurice did Trojan work in the promotion of Millstreet Athletic Club oftentimes so spontaneously giving of his time and talents in the preparation, the running and the aftermath of many a great sporting event. Maurice was supremely supportive of Hannelie’s great enthusiasm as a very keen Cyclist. He has very clearly enriched the lives of All. We all feel so very privileged for having known such a True Friend whose magnificent spirit, kindness and happiness brought joy to everyone. As an inspiring Happy Couple Millstreet is truly blessed that Hannelie and Maurice decided many years ago to establish their home in Ireland – in beautiful Dooneen West. God rest the gentle Soul of Maurice. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam dílis. (S.R.)

“Where the Road Takes Me” at 7pm this Sunday on C103
We thank Presenter, John Greene for advance information on this Sunday evening’s programme – 17th Oct. 2021 at 7pm on C103. (S.R.)
Where The Road Takes Me – Sunday 17th Oct.
In October of 1966, NFA President Rickard Deasy staked his reputation and the reputation of his association on the pivotal farmers protest march from Bantry to Dublin.
Low incomes, an unfair taxation system, rates and the refusal of Government to either meet with or recognise their association, led to the association President leading sixteen West Cork farmers out of Bantry on a 217 mile walk to the gates of Dáil Éireann.
In the concluding programme on Where the road takes me, John Greene meets three of the surviving sixteen.
We also look at the commodity strike of January 1967, which resulted in the jailing of 19 farmers and the confiscation of their machinery. [read more …] ““Where the Road Takes Me” at 7pm this Sunday on C103″
