The Christmas lights were turned on in Dublin during the week, tonight they will be turned on in Cork City. There was a message posted on Millstreet.ie by a reader who was annoyed with the Christmas decorations being up in Centra (West End) two weeks ago, so what do you think?
Millstreet Gramophone Circle will meet in the Canon O’Donovan Centre on Friday 15th November at 8.15 p.m. . This month’s presenter is Nora Burke, Kanturk. All are very welcome. (S.R.)
When speaking with Tommy Burke at Supervalu today I discovered that the Toy Factory at Pound Hill (Hegarty Street) was known as Celtic Toys 1965 – 1977. When Tommy and his dedicated Staff took over it became known as Clara Toys (& Clothing Co.) 1978 – 2004. We had lots of interest in our recent Bob Emprimo Doll feature. Many thanks to Tommy for such an interesting update. (S.R.)
It’s uplifting to note the very positive reaction to the return of Local Television. We especially thank Bernard Crowley for dedicatedly having Programme 1 of LTV2 Millstreet available online (for a worldwide audience) as soon as the actual live television transmission in the overall Muskerry and Duhallow areas. Many thanks to Seán Murphy for editing this week’s very interesting programme. The religious broadcast on Sunday evening at 5.30 recalls a recent Mass in Ballyvourney. We hope that you will join us weekly as we share the news, events, interviews and the culture of our local areas.Thanks to Journalist, John Tarrant and to Eily Buckley for projecting LTV updates in the media – newspapers and local radio. (S.R.)

To receive reception on your Television one needs to retune analogue settings (available in menu “settings”). When scanning is complete one will now have the new channel – either UHF Channel 30 or UHF Channel 35 (or both in certain areas of Millstreet). All this depends on how strong the signal is in any given area. The UHF Channel 30 signal comes from the Carriganima direction whereas the UHF Channel 35 signal comes from the western side of Millstreet Town. This is now saved and is presently transmitting the EWTN (Religious) Channel. [read more …] “LTV2 Millstreet:Programme 221 (Number 1 of 2013/2014 Season) Now Online”
Our athletes braved terrible weather conditions on Sunday last at Castlelyons to compete at the Munster Cross Country Championships. It was a true test to their ability as the heavy rain never let up and the course was completely cover with mud making it really hard to get going.
Donal Bourke just missed out on a medal for the Cork team by finishing 7th for the team but he has qualified to run the All-Ireland Championships in Waterford in December. We are very proud of him to be wearing the Millstreet A.C singlet at such a high level and we wish him all the best.
The club was also represented at Castlelyons by Emily Ring, Sarah Bourke, Orla Buckley, Ian Buckley, Daniel Buckley, James Buckley, Ian Buckley and Eanna O’Mahony. While they didn’t bring home any medals they will all go forward to running in the Munster “B” Championship at Beaufort on 1st December next and we look forward to this event.
Next Saturday sees the Toughathlon return to Green Glens after the inaugural event last May, when hundreds of brave souls attempted the 10km course with military obstacles. Above is the map for the upcoming race. Best of luck to all taking part. Full info on toughathlon.ie

A million thanks to Bob for never forgetting Millstreet and for [read more …] “Thanks to Bob Emprimo – Millstreet Toy Dolls Are Reunited at Museum!”

As indicated last week – LTV is scheduled to begin its new broadcasting season on Wednesday, 13th Nov. at 9.30 pm (LTV Macroom area) and on Thursday, 14th Nov. at 10.00 pm (LTV2 Millstreet). Due to the dedication and skill of LTV Founder, Dan Joe Kelleher and with the kind cooperation of a number of local Millstreet people a wider and clearer reception will now be received in the Millstreet, Duhallow and Sliabh Luachra areas also extending into the Gneeveguilla and some areas of Rathmore. To receive reception one needs to retune analogue settings (available in menu “settings”). When scanning is complete one will now have the new channel – either UHF Channel 30 or UHF Channel 35 (or both in certain areas of Millstreet). All this depends on how strong the signal is in any given area. The UHF Channel 30 signal comes from the Carriganima direction whereas the UHF Channel 35 signal comes from the western side of Millstreet Town. This is now saved and is presently transmitting the EWTN (Religious) Channel. It will soon show promotions for the new LTV Season and will change to LTV1 and LTV2 on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Sundays at the designated broadcast times. LTV 2 will also, due to the dedication and skill of Bernard Crowley, be available on www.millstreet.ie. Happy viewing! (S.R.)
