Their interest in the local community includes lengthening our days on earth! A device to reverse the deadly effects of heart attack has been purchased by the Community Council, and now all that is needed are people to use it. Those already trained in the use of Defibrillators or AED’s for short, will be first on the list of responders, but training will be given to others who wish to use the device. AED’s or Automatic External Defibrillators are, as the name suggests, automatic. You do not need a medical degree to use them, although it might be an advantage. The device will itself guide the user through the procedure and you are hardly likely to harm the patient in its use. The Defibrillator will be kept in a safe place in the village and accessible to the trained personnel. During the lapse of time between heart attack and arrival of an ambulance, irreparable damage may be done to brain and heart tissue and an earlier response by this method can be the difference between life and death or permanent brain or heart damage. Sarah Beard (394940/087 7756590) and Shirley Steritt (085 1036207) are collecting the names of civic minded and responsible citizens to bridge the gap between life and death.

BANTRACHT NA TUAITHE
The Creative Writing Poetry Group had their first event of the season last week and The Killulta ICA Painters have resumed also. Both of these activities are at ‘Seven Sisters’ Pub, Old Kildimo. Lots of new and interesting competitions were announced at the recent federation meeting so the months ahead should have something of interest for all.
KILDIMO ARTIST
Artist Kathleen Ward, Kilcornan with her cousins Catherine and PJ Malone, Kildimo at the official opening of her joint art exhibition in Community Arts Centre, Rathkeale recently.
Although Kathleen (Fitzgerald) Ward, relocated to the next parish to our west, we still claim her for her artistic prowess! Kathleen along with her artist friend Ita Kehoe of Askeaton, have made the big step from the painting closet to the public arena with their current exhibition of paintings in oils and acrylics at the Community Arts Centre, Rathkeale. This beautiful new County Council space for art was heaving with their families and friends for the opening on Friday September 26. Norma Prendiville of the Limerick Leader hosted the event for the local Arts Group and the ubiquitous Councillor from Askeaton, namely Kevin Sheehan, performed the opening. Kevin with his usual modesty plays down his knowledge of things artistic, but we know that his travels have been infused with aesthetic values that he willingly shares with all. The many paintings in this exhibition are also being widely shared abroad judging by the plenitude of ‘red spots’ on the opening night. This exhibition is well worth a visit to enjoy the diverse styles and subjects of these two talented ladies. The wonderful venue is over the Council Library on the New Line in Rathkeale, which in itself is well worth seeing.
