THE MUSIC MAN

Eoin with the Choir

Eoin Garrett is almost a native of the area. He was born in Ranelagh and at one stage of his early life, lived in Ballyboden. Those were the days when Knocklyon was a wood and any place beyond Templeogue Bridge was in the heart of the country. Now, like the proverbial homing pigeon, he is back to his roots having lived in the parish for some years and has become part and parcel of our lives. Everyone who goes to 11 o'clock mass on Sundays cannot help but know this quiet, bearded thoughtful man who not only directs the Adult Choir but the congregation as well.

Music is undoubtedly the love of his life. The youngest of 5 children (he has four older sisters) he started to learn the piano when he was five years old and later on added to his accomplishments his mastery of the organ. He also added the letters A.R.I.A.M. and L.R.A.M. after his name.

On completion of his education at Gonzaga College it seemed a natural follow up to enter the Jesuit Seminary. In the Seminary his love of music found an ideal home. There he became Choirmaster as he says himself "By the grace of God and lack of competit ion". What a modest man! "Many people don't have the oppor-tun i ty" he protests. In one respect he is right for it was in the Church that music really had its birth. In early times it was only behind the monastery walls that knowledge of any kind could be pursued, as we in Ireland know so well. People were encouraged to join in singing the services and eventually some dis-cipline was introduced into the choral parts of the service. We owe the Church a great debt for paving the way for the great com-pose! s who followed.

On the realisation he was not meant for the priesthood, Eoin returned to the outside world and for some time taught in the College

of Music and was the Organist in Raheny Church where he played not only for the services but for 80 happy couples on the occasion of their marriage. He then took on a full time job as organiser of The Music Asso-ciation of Ireland. This was a voluntary body aided by government grants. As such they were responsible for setting up concerts and music festivals around the country. A t that time there were four full time employees but sadly in 1985 the promise of cut-backs in the Art world became imminent and Eoin decided to move out. By then he was married to Eimear and the proud father of a daughter, Dearbhla, now aged 5.

At present he works free-lance and teaches in the Community College, Firhouse and in Maynooth as well as training the NIHE Student Choir, working with the Department of Educa-t ion and teaching the piano.

Completely dedicated to working with St. Colmcille's Adult Choir, Eoin laments the lack of men among its ranks. He puts this phenomenon down to the fact that Boys Choirs and music in general are very much neglected during second level education so that by the time these boys become young men they have lost the habit of singing. This, he thinks, is a great pity because he believes that music is not just an art which is meant to be beautiful, but is also a strict science having perfectly definite laws based on the facts of sound. He believes that the study of music is a great discipline which once learned can shape our lives and yet at the same time stir our emotions to unbelievable heights by its joy and beauty. We must encourage our children to appreciate this for music is a tongue which every nation can speak.

Editorial THE TRAVELLING PEOPLE

The Travelling People are in the news again. The poem which appeared in the December issue of the Knocklyon News struck a cord in many people and caused them to ask what is the Church's at t i tude to Travellers. What should our attitude be towards them as Christians?

The Message of the Gospel is loud and clear with regard to the poor and oppres-sed. Before Christ came on earth God is revealed as the One who frees the oppressed and defends the poor. Jesus shows the same LOVE for the poor: . . ."because He has anointed me to preach good news to the poor, He has sent me to proclaim release to the cap-tives and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed, to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord". (Luke 4: 18-19). So the love of Jesus gives a privileged place to the weak, the lowly and the poor and leads him to identify himself with them.

The early Christian community was recog-nised by its concern for the poor and the underprivileged. "The whole group of believers was united, heart and soul; no one claimed for his own use anything that he had, as everything they owned was held in common. None of their members was ever in want, as all those who owned land or houses would sell them, and bring the money from them to present it to the apostles; it was then distributed to any mem-bers who might be in need". (Acts 4: 32-35). This dimension has always been present in the Church's life even if the Church has sometimes seemed to accept worldly attitudes to wealth and status. '

But the fact of being poor and exploited is not a virtue in itself. The poor like everyone else often fail to respond to God's love. They too are touched by sin, selfishness, vice and ignorance. We must respond to them as the Good Samaritan, by being neighbours to them, by reaching out to them, by helping them as a community in whatever way we can.

Who are the Travelling People and where did they come f rom? They are a distinctive feature of Irish life. They are a product of our history but they have become distinct f rom us, both socially and culturally. We put them in a class of their own. They are the outcasts of society. We dismiss them as "KNACKERS" and wish they would just go away. They live in poverty and squalor on the sides of our roads and lay-bys. Their numerous children wander around half-naked, hungry, without edu-cation or healthcare. Our modern affluent society has passed them by. They are ill-placed and their life-style illsuited to the changes that are taking place.

There is no doubt that their greatest need is accommodation. Housing of some sort or some alternative, like properly serviced caravan-sites. But housing the travellers brings with it other

problems for both the travellers and the settled community; problems of adaptation and acceptance. Permanent accommodation should be made available for every family aspiring to it, both as a fundamental right and to ensure effective participation in social, education and other services.

Education is a pressing need. In 1961, nearly all Travellers were illiterate. Today there are over 4,000 at school, yet 50% of the child-ren do not at tend school and 90% of the adults are still illiterate. But educating travellers is a daunting task: living conditions and home environment are not conducive to education. Health care cannot even begin without proper accommodation. The infant mortality rate is very high among travellers. The problem of childbirth can hardly be imagined. The travel-ling people are in an impossible situation. As one of them put it — "Travellers cannot win; those who are poor are considered lazy while those who manage to earn some income . . . come under suspicion for having made this money illegally, whether by defrauding the State or cheating the public."

As Christians we cannot ignore them. As a community we cannot reject them. This doesn't mean that we are not afraid, or that we don ' t feel threatened by their presence. Because they are different our fears can be exaggerated. We are afraid that our property will be deva-lued. We fear for our children and our homes. The crime-rate will increase. We will have to put up with squalor and scrap and dirty washing on the hedgerows.

But perhaps all our fears may not be real-ised. What we need is a change of at t i tude. Certainly we have a right to see that they live within the law and that Council halting-sites will be properly run and serviced. Surely we can come together as a Christian community in a positive way to co-operate with them and offer them our good will.

One thing is certain: Travelling people are not just statistics, they are not just a nuisance that we wish would go away. They are our brothers and sisters in whose haunting faces we must recognise the suffering features of Christ. We cannot condemn the poverty of Ethiopia and the Apartheid of South Africa and not recognise these things nearer home.

A "PICK ME UP"

The beginning of a New Year, is a bit like another beginning, - the beginning of Dickens' story, Tale of Two Cities - "the best of times, the worst of times". Another year ahead of coping, dashed hopes, realised ones, pain, hurt, joy, gratitide, then again anxiety, depression, fear. And ultimately as we grow older the haul becomes tougher by the hour "playing in the second half against the w ind" !

But just a minute, don't go away! I'm sure not in the business of adding to your depression. The picture I've just etched is the one without God, but fortunate-ly, God, often in spite of us, keeps "butt ing in" to our picture, and we pick ourselves up, or rather, He picks us up, and we are able to soldier on. " 'Tis not from chance our comfort springs, Thou art our trust O King of Kings".

Much as I might like it otherwise, instant Provi-dence, would, to my way of thinking, be very much the exception, rather than the order of the day. We incline to forget, our idea of time and that of God's, are light years apart, in his eyes "a thousand years are but a watch in the night". The poet understood this well: "the mills of God grind slowly". God's ways to us are mysterious, foreign to our way of thinking. "God's ways are not our ways", which is just as well both for God and for us, considering the mess we can make of things!

But recently, I had a touch of what might have been as near to instant Providence as I would dare to hope for. Some routine circulars arrived to which I cast the accustomed cursory glance. Nothing pressing or important, so I was about to consign them to the waste-paper basket. Just then I noticed a litt le booklet wi th the circular in question, made up of minipoems and quotations. I glanced idly through it, and liked what I read, a timely (just then we were feeling a few degrees under, as happens not infrequently to us all in the course of our lives) and very welcome reminder, of the abiding, all comforting presence of God. How about this for a sample:

Sometimes I come to You in tears. My heart so full of pain.

Discouraged and disheartened, You pick me up again.

Sometimes I come to You in want, I grumble and complain.

And then You give just what I need, And pick me up again.

Sometimes I come to You in fear, I fight my dread in vain,

I cannot do it on my own -You pick me up again.

This rang a bell for me or more likely it was Provi-dence doing the ringing, since has he not " the very hairs of our head numbered". Fear scarcely has a place in real love. Jesus does not want us to fear him, — but he does want us to trust him, he does want us to love him.

Despite his medical problem, Aidan Coyne is always smiling. He is a bright happy 11 year old who looks the picture of health. At the moment Aidan's parents are awaiting a telephone call from the London hos-pital where his very important operation will take place. The expenses involved are huge, and a group of friends have set up a committee to raise funds to help Aidan's family meet the costs. A sample of the gene-rosity of our caring community was shown when £2,122 was raised during the Masses on Sunday 17th January. Donations can still be handed in at the Presbytery.

The committee is planning to run one event per month while a Gala event wil l be held in May (more details later). 1. On Saturday, Jan. 30th a dance is being held

in the Templeogue Lawn Tennis Club from 9p.m. to 1a.m. Tickets are £5. Numbers are limited to 250. Some excellent spot prizes will be raffled.

2. The February event is a Table Quiz in Stacks-town Golf Club on Friday 19th February at 8.30p.m.

3. In March it is hoped to run a Poker Classic. Venue and details later.

If you wish to contribute to the fund or the above events any of the committee members below will be glad to hear from you.

OUR READERS WRITE . . . Dear Editor, Re: Eucharistic Ministers/Music at Mass There seems to be an abundance of Eurcharistic Ministers in Knocklyon Parish. I wonder why, at 7pm Mass on most Saturdays, you very seldom get more than one Eucharistic Minister in attendance. Why? You hear meetings being called each month - I oresume to arrange Masses, and you see notices in the oorch giving details of times each Minister is on. Why bother to fix these rotas when they do not turn up? Also I think four Ministers are required on a Satur-day when there is not a second priest in attendance.

Why do we have to be subjected to Music at all Masses (except 7pm on Sundays)? It is nice to be able to pray or attend Mass when the singers do not turn up Surely you could drop the "Singing & Music" at some of the Masses. I'd say a lot of the parishioners would agree with me.

Yours etc. (Name and address with Editor).

We send our congratulations to Sarah Cassidy and Elaine Murphy, both of Ashton who were part of the team who entered the Aer Lingus Young Scientist Exhibit ion with a project entitled "A socio-scientific study of Knocklyon Parish". Their primary aims were to provide a basic historical outline of Knocklyon Parish from its beginning to the present day, and also carry out a survey of households, industries and ser-vices in the area.

They also carried out a study of the level of pol-lution in the Parish today. In completing the project a lot of research was entered into and it paid off because the girls were highly commended for their efforts.

GREENFINGERS by Don Ryun

I write this while basking in the afterglow of a glorious weekend when the robin gave vent to an unseasonal burst of song, celebrating both the early (be it short lived) arrival of Spring, and also, I suspect, the even more uncharacter-istic Irish triumph over Scotland at Lansdowne Road.

Encouraged by such unbridled manifesta-tions of Joie de Vivre, I went forth, fork in hand, to pay homage to the brown bits be-tween the border shrubs. Despite the recent rains, and the cold, and frost, the ground yield-ed willingly and rewarded even the most gentle of my exertions with lovely brown crumbly clods that broke up voluntarily on turning, and basked in the unexpected sunshine.

The soil is now perfect for digging and if you have a border, vegetable patch, etc., now is the time to turn it. Leave the lumps of soil intact and the ground rough, allowing the wind and frost of the next two months to improve the ti lth and quality of your soil. It also allows the rain to wash valuable trace elements down to the roots of shrubs and plants, paving the way to strong healthy growth later.

My recent trip into the garden confronted me with, not just one of my pet aversions, but one shared with the vast majority of people in residential areas. I refer to the totally dis-agreeable task of scraping dogs faeces from the lawn and shrub border in my garden. I may seem almost petty, particularly to careless dog owners, hut why should I be subjected to a weekly unsavoury task of l ift ing and disposing of dogs excrement? I love dogs, my children love dogs but with neither the space or time to devote to a fully grown dog, and not wishing to inflict his toiletry habits on my neighbours, we opted to forsake the other pleasures derived from "mans-best-friend".

It would not be tolerated in any other European country, and it is now time to call halt, bring these few selfish and uncaring dog owners to task, and clean up our environment making it a cleaner and safer area for our people and children,

We send our best wishes and congratulations to Paul Dalton and his wife on the birth of their third son. Another pupil for St. Colmcille's! Top Class Acting Congratulations to Mr. Killalea and his class on their excellent performance of "Charlie and the Choco-late Factory" which was staged for the parents. It was an adventurous play for a group of 8/9 year olds, but it worked. All the children were magnifi-cent, but a special word of praise must go to Robert Goodall who played the tit le role. His performance and confidence were outstanding.

A new Face The teachers in the Senior School welcome Martha Coughlan who recently joined the staff. We hope she will enjoy her stay in Knocklyon. Caring Children well done to all the boys and girls who raised £1100 in the school "Bring and Buy" before Christmas. All of this money went to the Aidan Coyne Fund. Flying High! We always thought that Mr. Gearty had his feet f irm-ly on the ground. We have now been told an 'air raising story about him parachute jumping! Stick to the music John — the airs are safer!

THINGS CULINARY

Having been severely reprimanded by Fr. Conroy, the Knocklyon News Committee and my family, please accept my apologies for not submitting a seasonal recipe for the December issue. I could make the ex-cuse that everywhere I looked — in newspapers, magazines, radio, television there were a multitude of recipes and recommendations for Christmas fare and my market research people told me that the market was saturated and there was no need for me.

Christmas time is especially busy for people in catering and one of the more enjoyable events I was involved in was the Final of the Defence Forces' Fish Cooking Competition, sponsored by An Bord lascaigh Mhara and Calor Gas, which was held just down the road in the magnificent new Catering Complex at Baldonnel Air Corp Base.

There were, in all, f i f ty chefs competing for some beautiful and prestigious trophies and I tell you they were a pleasure to watch. It is only in this kind of forum that skills, dedication, perfection and love that are practiced daily in all our kitchens can be seen and rewarded. All the chefs entering the Competition had to win regional competitions throughout the country to get a place at Baldonnel. The splendour of the day at the base was just reward for all their efforts. It is probably di f f icult for the ordinary person to realise that many of the dishes entered in the Competit ion were practiced again and again, continually striving for perfection.

Next month I would like to give you the winning recipe which was created by Corporal Hackett of the Western Command.

Paddy the Chef

PADDY — Obviously your Market Research people are not aware of the impeccable culinary tastes of the readers of Knocklyon News — stimulated by the very fine recipes submitted by your good self over the years. We look forward to Corporal Hackett's winning recipe in the February issue.
