NEWS DESK Editor: Con Dennehy Mobile: 087 2326282 Email: [email protected] DOUBLE CELEBRATION FOR CASTLEISLAND World Cup fever may be over for another four years but the ‘Beautiful Game’ was celebrated in Castleisland at the weekend. There were celebrations in the town following the phenomenal success of Castleisland AFC following their League and Cup double. On Sunday Mounthawk Park, Tralee was the venue for the Greyhound Bar Cup final where the opposition was Listowel Celtic. One of the stars on show was Castleisland striker Sean Brosnan who ensured victory for the Island with two stunning goals. The Castleisland victory was sweet for Pa O’Rourke who also scored for the winners in their 3-1 win. Two late goals in the space of three minutes clinched the title for Castleisland. There were two changes in the Castleisland side from the Cup winning team that defeated Listowel with Sean Og O Ciardubháin starting at midfield replacing Pierce Brosnan and Mike Hanifin replacing Maurice Hickey. Castleisland had a dream start……scoring inside the first 25 seconds thanks to the alert Sean Brosnan. Listowel responded with a goal but thanks to a string of top drawer saves from goalkeeper Kevin Moran the scoreline remained 1-1 well into the second half. In the 80th Sean Brosnan shot from 30 yards on the wing which went in at the far post for a magnificent goal and one of the best strikes seen at the Tralee venue in decades. Three minutes later the title was sealed when super sub Pa O’ Rourke, a player with the club for the past 22 years, rounded a defender and the goalkeeper to slot home a memorable goal. Castleisland were worthy champions and captain Aidan O’Callaghan was given a great reception as he was presented with the cup by the secretary of the KDL John O’Regan.

My late brother John, well known and loved in Castleisland, was a service user of Oileann Beo so we decided to raise funds for this great project and hopefully we can raise as much money again this year,” said Jim Griffin, organiser of the Honda 50 Run. “The bikers will have a full mechanical back up service. It’s going to be a spectacular event. There will also be a bucket collection along the route with refreshments provided when the bikers return to Castleisland.” FIRIES GAA TO HOST INTER GAA CLUB GOLF CHAMPIONSHIP The large ball will be replaced by the small ball when Firies GAA Club hosts a unique fundraising event to enhance their Juvenile facilities due to phenomenal growth in the last ten years.

Cheryl Cavanagh, a busy mum of 4 boys from Templeglantine, Co. Limerick, was embarrassed by the nick name that she overheard herself being called by teenage friends of her son’s…… ‘Thunder Thigh’s’. “It was the final turning point that made me decide that I had to lose weight. Even though I had a loving and supportive family I had always felt ugly and embarrassed due to my size and tried to avoid social situations at all costs,” said Cheryl. An invitation to a wedding or party filled her with dread, what would she wear, where would she find that awful ‘tent’ that would end up costing a fortune and she knew it would still look dreadful. To the outside world Cheryl showed a happy, confident face but she was constantly sad and crying inside. “I decided to go along to my nearest Slimming World group and Sliabh Luachra Outlook • Pg 6 had amazing support from my husband Michael who decided to go along with me to offer encouragement. When I walked through the door I was welcomed by a warm and friendly consultant and a lively buzzing atmosphere. When the Food Optimising programme was explained to me I could not believe that I could eat so much varied ‘normal’ food and still lose weight. No counting or weighing, this was the diet plan I had been looking for all my life.” The first week Cheryl enjoyed roast dinners, curry, chillie and rice and even fish and chips. “The whole family ate the same meals. When I stood on the scales I could not believe I had lost 9lbs…..in the first week!. This was my ‘lights on’ moment. For the first time I realised I had the tools to do the job. My ‘Thunder Thighs’ days were well and truly over.” Cheryl went on to lose an amazing 7stone 3lbs. She loves going to the group every week and describes it as ‘’one big extended happy family, the support and craic that you get at the group every week is uplifting and truly unique’’. “Slimming World has completely changed my life. It has actually given me my life back, made me the woman I have always wanted to be, confident and so happy.” Cheryl says she has also seen many health benefits to losing so much weight such as no more aching knee’s and chaffed thighs. Cheryl has decided to open her own group to help others lose weight on Wednesday 30th July at the Fels Point Hotel, Tralee at 9.30am and 7.30pm and would love to see you there. Phone 0892263767.

KIERANS CYCLE……..A ROLLING SUCCESS (By Amber Galwey, PRO St. Kierans GAA Club) Over 240 cyclists took part in the St Kieran’s inaugural cycle tour last Sunday July 20th. The tour consisted of two routes; the short route which was 45km for novice and leisure cyclists and the long route which was 80km for more experienced cyclists. The cyclists set off at 10am and all those who took part had returned before 2.15pm. Many novice cyclists were delighted with their achievement which added to the ambiance at Desmond’s pitch, where the cycle began and finished. The route of the tour included all of the seven St Kieran’s parishes beginning in Castleisland then travelling to Ballymacelligott, Currow, Scartaglen, Cordal, Brosna, and Knocknagoshel, before returning to Castleisland. Cyclists returned to the finish line at Desmond’s GAA ground where they were greeted by music and encouraging spectators. There were very welcome refreshments provided all day at Desmond’s GAA pitch. St Kieran’s wish to thank everyone who supported the event and they especially wish to thank all those who helped on the day; those who acted as stewards, safety officers, those who provided the refreshments and the committee members. Organisers also wish to thank the local Guards, the ambulance crews, Abbeyfeale Search and Rescue, the Civil Defence and those who provided sponsorship on the day. It was fantastic day and it was great to see so many familiar faces take to their bike to support their local district team. Many cyclists commented on the great atmosphere and the successful orgainsation of the cycle- it was such a huge success that the organisers are already looking forward to next year’s cycle. Well done to everyone who took part. Castleisland U8 team with mentors Jeremy Burke and John Breen pictured at John Mitchells GAA Club who hosted the Kevin McMahon Tournament on Saturday.

COISTE NA NOG JOHN MITCHELS BLITZ: Pride of place this week goes to our U10 and U8 teams both of whom performed exceptionally well in the Annual John Mitchels Blitz held on Saturday last. Our U10's qualified for the final with victories over Beale, Desmonds, Austin Stacks, Castlegregory and Keel. In the final they faced Ardfert in what turned out to be an epic encounter. Ardfert started the better and led at half time on a score of 0-3 to 0-2. An early second half goal by Ballymac saw them take the lead and with time almost up it was that goal that separated the sides. An Ardfert goal from a 13m free levelled the game and a draw looked likely. However, our boys showed great heart and determination and worked the ball up the field and won a free from a scoreable position. This was duly pointed and great scenes of celebrations followed the final whistle. Final score Ballymac 1 - 6 Ardfert 1 - 5. Commiserations to a gallant Ardfert side who really pushed our lads all the way. Our U8 team also qualified for their final winning their group games against Beale, Desmonds, Beaufort and Austin Stacks, with just one loss to Keel. The final against Miltown Castlemaine was another exciting affair with the Mid-Kerry boys coming out on top by 2 points. Our lads were disappointed in the end but it was a great achievement to reach the final. Many thanks to players, mentors, parents and supporters for making it such a memorable day. FAOI 16: Our U16's return to action this Wednesday night away to Castlegregory in Round 4 of County League. Our lads are unbeaten in Co. League and hope they can continue this form on the night.

It was an 11 aside game with space at a premium but our lads showed great endeavour and skill overcoming the challenges of Ballingeary and Cordal but just coming up short against a very impressive Miltown/Castlemaine side. All 18 squad members got valuable playing time on this pristine pitch and everybody enjoyed themselves to the full. FAOI 13: Our concluding game in the Coiste Thrá Lí U-13 League took place in Ballymac last Sunday evening against town rivals Austin Stacks. Knowing that victory would essentially guarantee us a place in the final, things didn’t work out the way we planned. Up against a massive and physical side, we struggled in many areas during the initial stages but gradually grew into the game with confidence growing. Dylan Dunne Moriarty was a colossus for Ballymac with his selfless running and his perseverance ably assisted by brothers Aidan and Liam O Brien and David Rogers. Eoin Culloty in goals is improving with every outing and corner forward Diarmuid Lynch was a constant threat to the Stacks rearguard. Darragh Broderick picked off some good scores with Darragh Leen providing great support throughout. However, Stacks imposed their physicality and ran out easy winners in the end but not without a fight from all our lads. Having already beaten Rahillys, Ballymac finished a creditable third in the top division which is no mean achievement. BLITZ: The Annual U10 Milltown/C'maine blitz will take place next Sunday 27th July. BALLYMAC U8 & U6 BOYS will play St. Pats next Sunday morning at 10.45 in Blennerville.

LEAGUE: Currow travelled to Lewis Road on Friday evening last to play Dr. Crokes in round seven in division one of the Co. League. Currow travelled with a weakened side due to players abroad on work commitments and players on holidays. Crokes themselves were short some players, but the town team always have a big panel so a few players short makes no great difference. Crokes were first on the scoreboard and were six points to one after fifteen minutes. Even though Seamus Scanlon was winning an amount of ball around the midfield area the Crokes backs had tight control on Currow forwards and by half time the score was Crokes ten points Currow four. Currow got the first score of the second half a point, but the Crokes drove on and by the fifteenth minute of the second half the score was Crokes fifteen points Currow five. A long ball from Séamus Scanlon was not dealt with by the Crokes backs and Timmy O' Leary was on hand to blast past the Crokes keeper, making the score Crokes fifteen points Currow one goal and five points. From there to the end Crokes added four more points and Currow added five to leave the full time score Crokes 0-15 Currow 1-10. In the next round of the Senior Co. League Currow will play Finuge at home. This game may not go ahead depending on the Senior Co. Hurling Championship and the involvement of the Finuge players. Check with any club officer for confirmation. LOTTO: The July Lotto draw for a jackpot of €1900 will be held in the Riverside Inn Currans on this Sunday night July 27th. Tickets can be had from all the business in the parish, from all club players, Bord na nÓg, from any club officer or any player. JUNIOR LEAGUE: The Junior Co.

It must be mentioned that the Listowel fans and players were a credit to their fine North Kerry town over the course of all three games. They have mastered the dual art of winning and losing with grace. But what of Castleisland ? This is the second occasion the club has achieved this milestone in it’s Sliabh Luachra Outlook • Pg 26 relatively short history. The first double was won in 1978 when Denis Pele Barry played up front. If memory serves me correctly, Tom Lynch played in goal that day. Coincidentally, Tom’s son and Pele’s nephew, Barry Lynch now plays in defence with the current crew, where he directed operations with god-like flair and elegance all season long. In the eyes of this supporter, what the team and its’ management have achieved this season is truly outstanding. They are now kings of the soccer scene in Kerry. They have brought great honour to our economically hard-hit town and deserve to be both recognised and praised to the rafters. These players are amateurs who selflessly make the personal sacrifices required in order to be as successful as they can be. They got nothing more than what they earned last Sunday. Team manager Mike McCarthy along with assistant Dan Maunsell and first team captain Aiden O’ Callaghan have all been marvellous in their efforts to extract the best from these players, which they have achieved with seemingly effortless ease !

Sliabh Luachra Outlook • Pg 27 FARMING OUTLOOK Sliabh Luachra Outlook • Pg 28 FARMING OUTLOOK “WITHOUT AUTUMN TRADE, THE FUTURE OF SUCKLER FARMING IN THE REPUBLIC IS UNDER SERIOUS THREAT” -ICOS At a meeting g with Minister Coveney this week, an ICOS delegation of mart managers and chairmen led by Michael Spellman, chairman of the ICOS Marts Committee, emphasised to the Minister the urgency of finding practical solutions to unjustified obstructions being imposed on the traditional trade between Northern Ireland customers and livestock marts across the Republic of Ireland. There is an effective ban by Irish owned meat plants in Northern Ireland on killing live cattle from the Republic of Ireland. Irish (ROI) controlled meat factories in Northern Ireland either will not slaughter an animal, or they will impose a £150 fine per animal, if any farmer presents an animal for slaughter that was born in the Republic of Ireland. Michael Spellman, Chairman of the “The maintenance of a vigorous live trade with ICOS Marts Committee Northern Ireland is a vital source of additional competition for livestock which helps underpin the autumn trade in marts,” said Michael Spellman. “Farmers in Northern Ireland who bought cattle from the south last Autumn are facing a major financial hit as they now go to sell these animals into the factories. It is a case of ‘once bitten, twice shy’ and unless the irrational and unwarranted €150 fine is removed by the factories, Northern Ireland farmers won’t buy cattle from the south again this year. “The immediate priority is the restoration of the traditional Autumn trade. Without this trade it is not an exaggeration to state that the future of suckling enterprises in the Republic is under serious threat,” he stated. Michael Spellman said that the marts delegation had emphasised to the Minister the importance of immediately engaging with his counterpart in Northern Ireland, Minister Michelle O’Neill with a view to removing the obstructions to this trade. ICOS (the Irish Co-operative Organisation Society) represents co-operatives and organisations in Ireland – including the Irish dairy processing co-operatives and livestock marts – whose associated businesses have a combined turnover in the region of €14 billion, with some 150,000 individual members, employing 12,000 people in Ireland, and a further 24,000 people overseas. Outside of ICOS member co-ops, it is estimated that over 3 million Irish people are members of at least one co-operative. Sliabh Luachra Outlook • Pg 29 FARMING OUTLOOK IFA PUTS FORWARD TAXATION MEASURES TO COUNTER INCOME VOLATILITY AND SPEED UP FARM TRANSFER Addressing the Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture on Thursday last (July 17th) IFA President Eddie Downey set out the Association’s agri-taxation submission, which identifies a number of new and innovative taxation measures. If implemented, they would tackle two of the major challenges facing Irish agriculture: income volatility and barriers to lifetime farm transfers. “The agri-taxation review provides an opportunity to ensure the taxation system delivers coherent support for achieving the goals in ‘Food Harvest 2020’. We can clearly see the impact of volatility in the tillage sector, for example, which, in 2013, experienced a fall in incomes of 20% (to less than €30,000) due to a price collapse, despite improved yields. Prices in this sector have continued to fall through 2014,” said Eddie Downey. IFA President Eddie Downey The proposals to manage income volatility and encourage lifetime transfer * An income-smoothing mechanism that would operate within the income tax system, in addition to income averaging. This would allow a farmer place on deposit a portion of their pre-tax income, in a designated commercial farming account (‘Tax Deposit Account’). This could then be drawn down by the farmer and used for the running of his business when required, and would be taxable in the year it was drawn down. * A ‘Phased Transfer Partnership’ (PTP). This is a progression model in which there would a defined, phased transfer of the family farm over a set time period. It would require an agreed transfer contract where both parent and child would work together in partnership over the period of the phased and progressive transfer of assets. As an incentive to the farm holder to enter into the contract they would receive tax relief on a portion of their farm income, up to an agreed ceiling. In addition to these innovative measures, IFA has submitted a comprehensive set of proposals, covering all aspects of farming business. In respect of income tax, IFA has proposed * The introduction of an optional system of increased Capital Allowances. This would provide Capital Allowances of up to 50% over the first two years. * Extending the 100% Young Trained Farmers’ Stock Relief to all farmers, for a period of 4 years, up to 2020; * Extension of income averaging to farm profits where the farmer or spouse has an additional source of self-employed income; and * Introduction of an Earned Income Tax Credit to remove the discrimination in the income tax system between employees and the selfemployed. In the areas of Farm Transfer, Succession and Land Mobility, IFA has proposed * Retention and index-linking of the Capital Acquisitions Tax tax-free exemption thresholds, and retention of 90% Agricultural Relief. * Improvement in the uptake of the land leasing tax exemption scheme through recognition of incorporated farm businesses as qualifying lessees, and removal of the 40 year age limit for qualifying lessors. * Reintroduction of indexation for Capital Gains Tax and retention of CGT retirement relief. To encourage greater numbers of Farm Partnerships, there must be an extension of existing tax reliefs for Milk Production Partnerships to all registered farm partnerships and reintroduction of CGT relief in the event of a farm partnership dissolution.

The good weather does not always mean good driving conditions as the sunshine can melt the road surface making it extremely slippery. Also, rain at the end of a long dry spell can mix with dust, oil and rubber, producing a road surface like an ice rink. DRIVING TIPS FOR SUMMER MOTORING Servicing: A full service is necessary at least one full week before a long journey. Last Minute Checks: Engine, oil, brake and clutch fluids, battery electrolyte, tyre pressure and the windscreen washer reservoir should be rechecked just before the journey Starts. Spare Kit: Delays caused by minor faults can be reduced by taking a small spares kit comprising of a fan belt, radiator hoses, bulbs, points, a condenser, pair of spark plugs and a roll of insulting tape. Balance: The load should be balanced, that is, heavy articles should be placed as near to the centre of the car as possible. Heavy articles must never be concentrated on one side of the vehicle, neither must luggage impede the drivers vision or prevent seat belts from being used. Inside The Car: Loose or heavy items in the passenger compartment can move under braking or cornering - this can distract the driver or jam against the control. Outside The Car: Roof racks must be firmly and loaded with as low a profile as possible to minimise the wind resistance and maintain stability. Also, make sure everything carried on the roof rack is securely tied down. country - less restricted, however, you must remember, care and attention is still needed at all times - there may just be a herd of cows around the next corner! Farm animals must be treated with patience. Drivers meeting them should slow down well in advance and leave as much space as possible between the car and the herd. Fast driving past a horse and rider can also be dangerous - it may cause the horse and rider to shy and throw its rider. They should be overtaken very slowly, with as much space as possible between it and its rider. Care In T he Country: Many city drivers feel free driving in the Sliabh Luachra Outlook • Pg 33 MARGARET’S RAMBLINGS DRY FARMING Agriculture may be undergoing some major shifts in the coming years thanks to climate change and natural shifts in rainfall levels. That’s why some farmers are turning to dry farming, which tackles the problem head on. It utilises minimal trapped moisture to provide farms with what they need, rather than irrigating, and it actually produces amazing crops, like tomatoes packed with explosive flavour. Without irrigation, plants don’t load up with water, and though the subsequent crop tends to be smaller, it’s flavourful, intense, and sweet. Dry farming isn’t anything new, it was widely used throughout the Mediterranean for centuries, as farmers in regions like Greece, Italy and Morocco didn’t have an extensive water supply to rely upon. They were forced to utilise practices that would help the soil retain moisture for crops like olives, and they refined dry farming techniques for their climate. The tactics used in dry farming include taking special care of the soil to help it remain fertile and retain moisture, spacing crops appropriately to reduce competition for limited water supplies, and cultivating crops suited to low-water conditions, including hardy cultivars that send down deep tap roots to access buried water supplies. However, dry farming can’t happen overnight. If farmers just stopped watering their crops, most of them would die. Crops need to be raised from the start with dry farming in mind, and when farmers are growing grapes, olives, fruit trees, and other crops that bear year after year, they need to take time with the transition. Switching over may require them to remove some plants in order to achieve the right spacing, and they’ll have to work their soil well to help it adjust from heavy irrigation (sandy soil that allows for even drainage) to dry farming (rich, loamy soil that retains moisture). As dry farming catches on and consumers get excited about the amazing crops it produces, the agricultural industry may find itself at the forefront of another farming revolution. DEAD RODENT INTENDED AS FOOD FOR DOG LEADS TO BUBONIC PLAGUE QUARANTINE An entire town in China has been sealed off and over 100 people are in quarantine following the death of a man who contracted bubonic plague after trying to feed a dead rodent to his dog. 30,000 people in the town of Yumen are being confined inside of the city limits and outside visitors are not being allowed in. The lock down comes in the wake of a 38-yearold man's death; the man reportedly found a dead marmot and cut it up to feed to his dog. Residents inside of the city have been advised that there is enough rice, flour and oil to sustain them for a month. Spreading throughout the Mediterranean and Europe, Bubonic plague also known as the Black Death reduced the world population from an estimated 450 million down to 350–375 million in the 14th century. Today, with the use of modern antibiotics, the deadly bacterial infection can be treated; however, quick medical intervention is required for those who contract the deadly infection.

PIT BULL FOUND CARRYING HER SMALL INJURED CANINE COMPANION Animal control officers in Savannah, Georgia, are hoping to find a loving home for a special pair of dogs who have a unique story and an uncommon friendship. On July 16, the Savannah-Chatham Metropolitan Police Department issued a release outlining the unusual situation which brought the canine friends to their attention. The department described how the dogs, dubbed "Jonie and Chachi," were found: Chachi, a scraggly long hair Chihuahua mix, was suffering from a horrific eye infection. And Jonie, a white lab-pit bull mix many times larger than Chachi, was walking around with Chachi in her mouth, carrying him from place to place, stopping occasionally to lick his swollen eye. Little Chachi's eye was so badly infected that it had ruptured and could not be saved. Veterinarians were able to surgically remove the eye and Chachi spent time recuperating from the procedure. As soon as Chachi was strong enough to be reunited with his best friend, a reunion was arranged. The police department described the beautiful meeting: On Tuesday, Jonie finally was allowed to visit her old friend and shelter staff were treated to an emotional reunion of the two canine friends, complete with licking, whining, caressing and finally cuddling. The dogs have been cleared for adoption - both dogs are up to date on vaccines, are heartworm negative and Chachi has been neutered. IT’S HARD TO WIN IN CALIFORNIA As California’s severe drought worsens and officials look to reduce water consumption in every possible way, the state appears to be sending mixed signals as to which water-related activity is the most outrageous. All of California is currently experiencing drought conditions and more than 80% of the state is classified as an extreme drought. Despite the fact that it’s the height of summer, peaches, nectarines, apricots, plums, cherries and their like are much more expensive than unusual, and of much poorer quality, too. The answer lies in the state’s extreme drought, which is wreaking havoc on numerous crops this year, including stone fruit. A husband and wife team in Glendale, California have been trying to conserve water by cutting back on lawn watering, taking shorter showers, and doing larger loads of laundry. Now, they are facing a fine of up to $500 for not keeping their lawn green. Survey results from the State Water Resources Control Board found that instead of achieving the 20% water reduction sought by Gov. Jerry Brown, water use actually jumped one percent this May, compared to the same period in previous years. As a result, the board voted unanimously this week to impose the first mandatory water restrictions on California residents. The regulations seek to curb water use among urban residents by banning wasteful outdoor watering, such as overwatering lawns, hosing down sidewalks or driveways, and washing cars without a shut-off nozzle on the hose. Violators could face a fine of up to $500. On the same day the state approved the mandatory water restrictions, the couple received a letter from the city which stated “Despite the water conservation efforts, we wish to remind you that limited watering is still required to keep landscaping looking healthy and green”. The couple were given 60 days to restore the lawn or be fined from $100 to $500 According to the Contra Costa Water Board, lawn care is typically the single biggest water user for the average property and a 500-square-foot lawn can use more than 18,000 gallons of water per year. Among their tips for maintaining a lawn while in the midst of drought conditions: “Be willing to accept a less than lush lawn during the drought.” State water board Chairwoman Marcus told residents this week that “a brown lawn should be a badge of honour because it shows you care about your community.” As California endures its third straight year of drought conditions, some in the state see a slow shift away from the traditional lawns that were once a symbol of wealth. Some cities are insisting on drought-tolerant landscaping for new developments and others, like Sacramento and Roseville, instituted programmes that pay residents to switch from grass to plants that use less water. TURNING BRAZIL’S EMPTY WORLD CUP STADIUMS INTO HOUSING FOR THE POOR When developing or newly industrialised nations get the “honour” of hosting international events, it’s common for them to sweep their poor under the carpet and leave them there once the festivities are over. Long before the World Cup tournament ended in heartbreak for Brazil, many poor locals were already suffering for soccer. The nation forcefully demolished more than 100,000 homes to make way for the World Cup and Olympics, forcing families that were already struggling to uproot and restart elsewhere as families were relocated as part of an “urban renewal” project to bring more athletes, fans and businesses into cleaned up slums. Brazil spent millions of dollars on 12 stadiums for the World Cup. Although a couple will be reused in the 2016 Summer Olympics, there’s no long-term plan for the others. Two French architects know what to do with the empty, expensive complexes: Turn them into affordable housing for the poor by installing modular housing units between the stadiums’ concrete pylons. They’d be built into pre-existing spaces on the outside of each structure while the central fields and inner seating would remain in occasional use, and a portion of ticket sales from soccer matches would finance the construction and maintenance of the 1,100 square feet units which would be large enough for a family of four. But would the well-to-do Brazilians who’d be funding the project pay to watch games where the poorest citizens live? before any plan to alleviate poverty can fully work in Brazil (or anywhere), the nation’s upper and lower classes will have to change the way they view and treat each other. STRANGE EMPLOYMENT *Watching grass grow - if watching paint dry sounds too exhilarating, you could take a leaf out of Helen Southall’s book, the grass expert works at British Seed Houses in Lincoln, where her daily duties include counting out and planting 400 seed samples and goes through them blade by blade to monitor growth. Ms. Southall says “People think that it’s strange when I tell them my job is to watch grass grow, but it’s fascinating. I wouldn’t do anything else. It’s so rewarding to see a stretch of perfect grass.” *Armpit sniffer - Peta Jones works as a deodorant producer for Unilever in Australia, developing the Dove, Lynx and Impulse brands. A big part of her job is sniffing strangers’ armpits to check her products’ work. *Crime-scene cleaners - there is nothing entertaining about cleaning up a crime scene after a death but that is the job of husband and wife Mike Nestved and Carmen Velazquez who clean up after bodies in Orlando, Florida. 4th Anniversary 3rd Anniversary In Loving Memory Treasured Memories of of Mick Walsh Martin Hewitt 50 St. Stephens Park, Tullig, Castleisland who died on the 31st July 2011 Castleisland Rest In Peace who died on the 31st July 2010 Rest In Peace Pause and think of me today if I made you smile along the way.
