Laura’s journey to the World Games began three years ago when she joined Owenabue Special Olympics Gymnastics Club in Car- rigaline. Thanks to a fantastic group of coaches Laura progressed quickly and qualified for the Ireland Games in Limerick in June of 2014. The Games were a wonderful experience both for the athletes and also the families. It was amazing to see the camaraderie between the athletes and to watch new friendships being forged. It truly embodied the Special Olympic Motto of “Let me win but if I cannot win-let me be brave in the attempt”. This motto is read out before every Special Olympics competition. During the competition the prospect of qualifying for the World Games in Los Angeles was the furthest thought from people’s minds as the competition was intense with anxious coaches and parents becoming “experts” overnight. The results were announced and Laura was on the podium having won both a Gold and Silver medal in artistic gymnastics which involves the disciplines of vault, floor, uneven bars and the beam. As the dust settled after the Ireland Games, Laura’s thoughts turned to school in Scoil Bernadette and her Junior Certificate in June 2015. - Right- Laura after gold medal presentation.

Several studies by Touch Research Institute (TRI) offer evidence that the immune function is strengthened by massage therapy- in healthy people as well as in those fighting disease.

Michael Ruff, Ph.D (Georgetown Universtiy Medical School) states “studies can support the use of massage therapy to alleviate stress, relax muscles and now possibly serve as an alternative to medical practice” Another study published by TRI reports women who had been diagnosed with breast cancer, and who received regular massage therapy (3 times per week for 5 weeks) showed an 80% improved immune function.

Holidays are over the beautiful summer just passed is disappear- ing, winter activities must be considered or are you going to sit at home watching television or some such again. Why not give Badminton a try, the Riverstown club will do its best to get you going if you have never played or if you have not played for some time. We will certainly supply some rackets, shuttles etc. free of charge for a couple of weeks. All you need is some sports shoes and clothes. We will be on every Monday [barring Holidays] and Wednesday from now until next May from 8.00pm till eleven if you wish, but you can come to each session at the Watergrasshill Community Hall [beside the Catholic church]at any time between 8 and 11 as it suits you and leave on the same basis. Gillian Looney Hazelwood and Joseph Optional coached sessions will be held through October to Harrington Glanmire Court on their way to raise everyone’s game, if that is what you want, so get up to The Glanmire community college Debs ball Watergrasshill for some winter fun and fitness. - Nick O’Brien in the Radisson hotel Little Island.

Carraig na bhFear Vintage Vehicles Road Run 2015 There was a fantastic display of classic cars, vintage tractors and motorbikes showcased at the 6th annual Carraig na bhFear vintage vehicles road run, which took place on Sunday, August 16th. With a little over 70 entries, there was something on dis- play for everyone and the wet weather didn’t deter the vintage enthusiasts’ fantastic turnout at Carraig na bhFear GAA pitch. We were delighted with the day and we want to thank everybody who helped us raise funds for Scoil an Athar Tadgh, Primary School. Last year we were proud to be able to donate to Lourdes Invalid Fund of Cork and Ross Diocese. Also we would like to thank all those vintage enthusiasts who brought out their vintage Volunteers from the Cork Simon Community on duty at the 2015 vehicles on the day, all those who supported us through-out the event. Especially Carraig na bhFear GAA club, Scoil an Athar Cork City Military Show held recently in the Cork Showgrounds, Tadgh Primary School, An Garda Siochana, Stewards and SOS Curraheen.

Tractors travelled various town lands including their journey back to independent living.

All cars, motorbikes and tractors arrived back to the pitch safely at roughly the same time where everyone enjoyed the fantastic refreshments, all generously provided by club member’s family and friends. The club would like to express their sincere thanks to all those who participated to make this event possible as we continue to go from strength to strength and look forward to seeing every- one again next year. We are delighted to donate €1500 to Scoil an Athar Tadgh, Primary School, the presentation of the cheque to Principal Dermot O’Driscoll will be held in the near future.
