 PIANIST SAM ROTMAN Bill Cullan Seminar at
VISTITS POBALSCOIL NA Pobalscoil Na Trionoide
TRIONOIDE
Concert Recital
On April 15th, students and staff of Pobalscoil na Tr on ide were
treated to a wonderful recital from the acclaimed concert pianist
Mr Sam Rotman.
From Phoenix, Arizona, Mr Rotman is a graduate of the Juillard
School of Music, New York and has been the recipient of many
awards throughout the United States and Europe, including that Bill Cullan, Chairman and owner of
Renault and Director of the Irish Youth Sinead Ni Mhoinbhid 4AG makes a
of ’Laureate Winner’ at the 4th International Beethoven
Foundation Ireland speaking at the presentation to Bill Cullan after his
Competition in Vienna. Having performed in over 56 countries seminar for transition year students inspirational talk
throughout the world and totalling over 1800 recitals, Mr
Rotman’s repertoire includes the great works of Beethoven,
Debussy, Chopin and Scarlatti to name but a few. Favourable
reviews follow his performances always, not merely for his vir-
tuosic brilliance but also for a style of delivery that is both per-
sonable and unique. During both recitals in Pobalscoil na
Tr on ide, Mr Rotman held his audience captive and spellbound,
his carefully chosen repertoire was especially suited to a young
audience with each work being preceded by a brief narrative.
Pieces such as Chopin’s ’Polonaise in C minor’, Debussy’s ’The
Sunken Cathederal’ and Beethoven’s ’Turkish March’ from Op. 76
were so wonderfully animated that a lasting impression was made
on this young audience. Mr Rotman’s performance was both
superlative and sparkling, never allowing his audience become
disengaged. The pleasure he derives from his playing radiated
throughout the room, creating an atmosphere of calm and
intrigue. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Mr Rotman
most sincerely for taking time out from an otherwise hectic
schedule to perform for our students, a sincere thank-you also to Art Teacher Jenny Dorian Lee makes a presentation to Bill Cullan with Principal
Meryvn Scott and Father Patrick Relihan who secured Mr Seamus O’Ceallachain and fellow teachers
Rotman’s appearance and co-ordinated the event for our fortu-
itous students.

June to Sept. Cllr Murray brought a motion forward at the last
meeting of Youghal Town Council, calling on the council to allow
these facilities to be made permanent subject to there being no
misuse of the facility. The response from management was not in
favour of making recycling facility permanent at that time, but this
issue will be pursued again once facility is up and running.
Struhan na Sali - Works to improve the gradient of the green area
will commence next week. Trial holes were dug in the last few
weeks in grass area to determine what was under the surface, for-
tunately the ground is workable and our engineer has suggested
that a tiered green area would work pretty well. The intention
would be to widen the road and provide approx 8 more carparking
spaces.

costly operation for Cork County Council. The funding that is
provided to date by the NRA is unlikely to cover the costs that will
now be incurred by CCC to meet the new traffic management
guidelines. Apparently one of the carriageways should be closed
in order to do works on N25. Early next month the 1st visit to the
N25 will cover picking of litter and grass cutting. The 2nd visit
will be to spray for ragworth, this should be done more than once
in the year, but at present once is all that funding will provide for.

meeting this issue was again aired and it was outlined that consult-
ants have been appointed to advise on new stratagy in gas manage-

County Council will only be taking their own waste and that other
operators will have to find an alternative landfill site in which to
dispose of their refuse. Bottle Hill will have to have an improved
access before it becomes operational,and all waste must be treat-
ed and baled to be accepted, as such at the moment there is no

Going for glory
After reaching the final of the camogie championships last year,
Pobalscoil na Trion ide were defeated by only a few points. But
after enduring many physical training sessions, this year the girls
returned with drive and determination to fight for their turn to
shine. And that is exactly what they did! After winning the Munster
Colleg and Cork College matches the girls proved that they were
one of many teams achieving and winning various things above in
the school. The team consists of people with all different skill lev-
els and different abilities. The level of camogieon the team is often
referred to as outstanding and remarkable and much of this is
thanks to Ms.Casey who coaches the camogie team along with Mr
O Laodhcha. It is no douth that the girls will continue to bring Committee: Teresa Collins, John Roche, Seanie Fitzgerald, Angela
home more spectacular trophies to the school and we all look for- O Loughlin and Betty Kiely

Elizabeth who runs Sassy’s said she wished to thank the Traceys
for the support and the lovely shop she has had for the last three
years. "It was a lovely shop and set me up in the town of Youghal
which I am very fond of said Elizabeth.
Sassy’s has now got great space to look after clients that wish to
match jewellery and hats and feathers or just wish to have a pres-
ent made.
To pass Sassy’s you may think it looks expensive - no it is very
affordable and unique and all pieces are hand made. Elizabeth is North Cregg singer Claire Anne Lynch pictured with fans after the show
quite happy to have people come in to have a look to see for them-
selves. This is Sassy’s fourth year in Youghal and Elizabeth loves
meeting everyone and helping them match their outfits for wed-

costume jewellery and feathers and I love it and I hope my clients
enjoy it too!

WHOSE 1ST ANNIVERSARY OCCURS ON HE 25TH APRIL Frank Whyte
We took our vows together
We lost a dad with a heart of gold
Said "Till dead do us part" How much we miss him can never be told,
But when god came and took your hand He shared our troubles and helped us along,
My whole world fell apart. If we follow his footsteps we will never go wrong,
No one knows the heartache
We miss you from your fireside chair,
I try so hard to hide, Your loving smile and gentle air,
Only God know how many times You’re vacant place no one can fill,
I’ve broken down and cried. We miss you dad and always will
When I look back upon our lives
He is a dad so very rare,
One of the things that makes me glad, Content in his home and always there,
That you choose me to share with you On earth he toiled, in heaven he rests
The precious years we had. God bless you dad you are simply the best

Love you Frank xxx Marie Love your Daughter Lyndsay & son Neil

Frankie Whyte Frankie Whyte
We little knew that morning,
It does not take a special day. God was going to call your name,
For me to think of you, In life we loved you dearly, In death we do the same.
Each mass I hear each prayer It broke our hearts to lose you, You did not go alone,
For part of us went with you. The day God called you home.
I say is offered up for you
You left us beautiful memories, your love is still our guide.
We cannot bring the old days back And although we cannot see you, You are always at our side.
When we were all together Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same,
The family chain is broken now But as God calls us one by one
But memories will live forever The chain will link again.

Always loved and remembered by

Your loving sister Martha and Family Your son Alan and Kim

Frankie Whyte We did not see you close your eyes
We did not see you die
They say there is a reason All we knew was that you were gone.
Without a last goodbye.
They say that time will heal
But neither time or reason It was a sudden parting.
Will change the way we feel Too bitter to forget,
For no one knows the heartache Only those who loved you,
Are the ones who will never forget,
That lies behind our smiles,
No one knows how many times The happy hours once enjoyed,
We have broken down and cried How sweet their memory still,
We want to tell you something But death has left a vacant place,
This world can never fill,
So there won t be any doubt
You’re so wonderful to think of Your life was one of the kindly deeds,
But so hard to be without A helping hand for others’ needs,
Sincere and true in heart and mind,
Beautiful memories left behind.
Your loving brother Jack and wife Lill

excellent placing for their first year in the competition.
Bishopstown’s remaining opponents of the day were UCC, where
they recorded 2 sets to 0 win, and Made in Europe the all but
crowned league champions. This turned into an enthralling game.
Bishopstown were the only team to take a set from the Waterford
team throughout the league and certainly started the game intent
on a victory. Some excellent blocking and defensive play by
Bishopstown secured them the first set on a very close score line
of 25-23. Made in Europe came out with all guns blazing in the
second set. They upped the tempo and after some incredible serv-
ing they began to pull away half way through the set to take the
second set 25-17. Both teams shared the points and Bishopstown
I’m sure were delighted to take another set from Made in Europe
and deny them a perfect record in the league.
Lower down in the table the battle was on to secure more points
and improve final league positions. Rebels had a good day record-
ing straight set victories over UCC and VBAK. They put in a very
solid performance against Made in Europe however the Waterford
team prevailed. Rebels finished the league in 5th place overall.
League hosts CIT also finished strongly with wins over UCC and
Waterford team Deise Tigers and took 4th place overall. VBAK
last years champions had strong opposition on their final day.
They pushed Made in Europe all the way in their game and will be
happy with their performance despite being on the wrong side of
the 2- 0 score line in favour of Made in Europe. Their last game of
the day was against Deise Tigers which was another exciting and
closely contested game. VBAK just had the edge and took the first
set 25-20 and the second 25-17 to finish in 7th place overall one
position above the Deise Tigers who finished in 8th.
Made in Europe are the new League Champions and deserving
champions too. They put in a near perfect performance throughout
the competition dropping just two sets over the entire league to
runners up Bishopstown. Congratulations to all the participating
teams who hugely contributed to the success of the league and pro-
vided many entertaining and competitive matches throughout the
contest. We look forward to welcoming all these teams back next ARDRATH PARK, YOUGHAL

FORD TO GO BACK TO BASICS

Ford Motor Co founded by the son of an Irish immigrant to the
USA had a saying about the car he built: any colour as long as its
Black . Well its seems Ford lost their way and were giving too
many options particularly in the USA the biggest car market in the
world. Allan Mulally (CEO FORD) said when I came over from
Boeing in 2006 "I was looking at the (Lincoln) Navigator con-
sole," Mulally said. "We have 128 different options you could
choose on the console. That’s just the console." So too many
colours and options meant the customer could rarely get the car
they wanted and had to wait.
However they later found out 80%
kind of went for much the same
option, so the answer has cut down
on choice, cut costs, and along
with closing factories in America
and selling the likes of Land Rover
and Jaguar has almost brought
Ford back into profit. Strangely
enough the exact same thing is
happening at Chrysler.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FIAT AND THE NEW CO2 CAR TAXES
EXPLAINED: IT’S ALL ABOUT WHAT
BAND YOU’RE IN!
Goodbye C.C. Hello C02. That’s the message for everyone buying a
new car from July 1 who wants the best value-for-money, greenest
car. On that day the old regime ends. Road tax will no longer be based
on an engine’s cubic capacity (c.c.), but on how much carbon dioxide
(C02) it emits. Emissions will also affect the rates of Vehicle Unit 5D, Marlhill Court, Foxhole, Youghal
Tel 024 90270 / 086 380 0888

tax AND the lower the amount of Vehicle Registration Tax paid, and
also the less harm caused to our planet.
From July 1st all new cars registered will be grouped in Emission 04 Jaguar S Type Every Extra . . . . . . . . . . . 29,900

There will be seven Emission Bands: 00 BMW 316i Estate . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 9,950
Band A is for cars producing up to 120 g/km, annual road tax 100 03 Hyundai Sonata Leather . . . . . . . . . . . . . 8,500
