Tip for the Week
Keep up the neighbourhood watch, record any suspicious movements of individuals or vehicles. The elderly and people living alone are most at risk. Together we can eliminate robberies and break-ins.
Though for the Week
Learn from the past. Do not come to the end of your life only to find you have not lived. For many come to the point of leaving the space of the earth and when they gaze back, they see the joy and the beauty that could not be theirs because of the fears they lived.

Death

Sympathies to the McNamara and O'Shea families, Mountshannon, Labasheeda on the death of Leo McNamara. May he rest in peace.
