Caherconlish Tidy Towns: Following on from the piece last week on dumping of rubbish in the area several residents have asked to highlight the problem of dog fouling on footpaths, gateways and walkways. Under the Litter Pollution Act, it is an offence to let your dog foul in a public place and fail to remove and dispose of the foul properly. An on-the-spot fine of €150 can be imposed on the owner of a dog who fails to remove dog faeces from a public place. From a health point of view failure to clean up after your dog can result in humans, particularly children, becoming infected by a dog parasite called Toxocara canis. A huge thank you to all the concerned residents who have taken it on themselves to clean up the rubbish in their areas. It is very much appreciated.

How to survive the Pandemic/ the National Emergency – some notes from a talk given by John Lonergan
Keep your perspective. In every century there is a pandemic. Reduce continually listening to news about Covid and talking about it.
Staying at home 24/7 is very trying. Don’t be too hard on yourself with home-schooling etc. Children/ young people are resilient and will quickly catch up. Co-existing in the house in an emergency requires good communication. Better talk about your feelings than blaming others/confrontation. Have a formal written plan for each day – government/ companies make plans/ why not you/ gives you more control over the day. Minding yourself is important – a) good sleep, b) keep a good diet, c) get out of the house every day for small walks/exercise, d) relaxation – consciously breathing in through the nose and out the mouth 4/5 times a day. Practice 3 things to be grateful for every day – a roof over my head, a bed to sleep in, had a lovely breakfast, somebody who phoned, frontier workers etc Keep perspective – see the funny side of things and smile a bit more. Stay calm – the focus is on survival and getting out the other side. Light at the end of the tunnel. Think about the things you can do when it is all over. In 2/3 years, everyone will have forgotten about the pandemic!
Fr. Pat & myself are keeping you in our prayers and Masses. We ask the healing Christ to send healing to everyone in our community and healing to all the peoples of the earth.
