Community Council Initiative is Rocking the Day in Castlemartyr
by CLAIRE O’ DONOGHUE
Castlemartyr Rocks is a
Community Council initi- ative to spread a little hap- piness through the village. Taking inspiration from the “The Kindness Rock Project” it is a simple, yet highly effective tool, for brightening up any ur- ban space.
someone’s face, per- Castlemartyr
Rocks is for everybody of all ages. “It’s about inclu- sion and bringing a smile to
haps on the day they may need it most”, said Jennifer McGovern (Community Council member). It is a therapeutic project
from start to finish, not to mention a great reason to get out of the house with the children, as parents try to find activities to keep them entertained through the long summer holidays. Our fantastic weather has
been the perfect backdrop for strolling along the dozens of glorious local beaches and woods to find some rocks, and getting away from the screens, schedules and stresses of everyday life. Each rock is your own canvas. “You don’t have to be any good at painting or drawing”, said Jennifer, “It’s just the act of painting the rocks and taking a bit of time out for yourself to relax, or have fun with kids and come up with some designs or slogans that speak to you – they make speak to the person that finds them too, as the next step is to head on an adventure to hide them for other people to come across.” Such a simple idea, as are most of the best ones! A fun back to basics activity with con- notations of an age when life was not as fast paced, and entertainment was not based on technology.

perfect hiding place for your painted
Once you’ve found the rocks you
can, if you wish, post clues on Facebook for people to follow and find them. As the weeks of Summer stretch to weeks of Au- tumn and Winter, new inspiration will bring new rocks. A small, personal lit- tle project to enjoy all year round with the hiding and, in turn, finding of these colourful treasures. “Here in Castlemartyr, we’re lucky to have two gorgeous woodland areas, Mitchell’s Wood and Pigeon Wood which are ideal for hiding your painted rocks”, said Jennifer, “ and a great way to appreciate our beautiful village. We also encourage people, when searching for stones, to bring a bag and pick up some litter along the way”.

19 Ita Beecher is Busy Making Bandanas in Aid of Bark for ARC by ANDREA CUNNINGHAM
On Monday 16 July, Tina O Driscoll and Helen Tilson volun- teers at Youghal ARC Cancer Support House visited
a well-known
and respected lady, Ita Beecher, at her home in Youghal. The ladies were wel-
comed by Ita and her son Michael, who were on hand with some de-
licious scones and tea. Ita has been knitting and doing crochet
all
her life and thought- fully decided to donate her time and effort into creating a range of different bandanas for dogs, which will be proudly worn by the dogs participating in the Bark for ARC walk on September 9 in aid of Cork Arc Cancer Support House. Bens- ley and Bella, Michael and Ita’s two therapy
dogs, were more than happy to model the bandanas on the day to show just how cute they are. Every thread was hooked with love! Tina and Helen sincerely thank Michael and Ita for the hospitality on the day and a massive thanks to Ita for the hours she has put into making the wonder- ful bandanas, which is very much appreciated.
