MOUNT MERRIONS COMMUNITY GARDA
I have been the Community Garda for Mount Merrion and Booterstown for the past four years, attached to the Blackrock Garda Station. Some of you may know me. Those who dont, I would like to tell you about my role. My function is mainly to liaise with as many voluntary bodies as possibleCommunity Care, the Friendship Club, etc.and also to deal with particular problems that arise in the area from time to time. I also patrol the area as often as possible, with particular attention being paid to business premises.
People have different reasons for contacting the Garda. If any problem arises and you need to speak with me, I assure you I will do my utmost to help. If I personally cannot help, there are many other services that can be availed of within the Garda Siochna. For instance, Victim Support is available to any person who is upset as a result of being a victim of a crime. A name is passed on to Victim Support only if someone requests the service. It has proved very helpful for people who have availed of it, so, although I hope none of you will have to use this service, I want to make you aware of its usefulness. The telephone number of Blackrock Garda Station, where I work, is 6665200. I work shifts, so if Im not available when you ring, please ask them to take a message for me.

TIMES PAST
MOUNT MERRION LOCAL HISTORY
The Norman family of Fitzwilliam came to Ireland in the year 1210. They built a castle on the lands which are today the property of the Sisters of Charityat St Marys Home and School for the Blind. In 1710, Merrion Castle was in such a bad state of repair that Richard, the Fifth Viscount Fitzwilliam, selected a hundred acres on which he built Mount Merrion House, surrounded by an eight-foot high granite wall.
The next Fitzwilliam to take a major interest in Mount Merrion was Richard, the Seventh Viscount, who remained a bachelor all his life. It was he who willed 100,000 to build the Founders Museum in Cambridge, his former university. Prior to his death he bequeathed his vast estates to his cousin, the 11th Earl of Pembroke.
In 1903, Lady Beatrix Pembroke married Sir Nevile Wilkinson and they lived in Mount Merrion House until the beginning of the First World War. On the birth of their daughters Gwendolen and Phyllis, two redwood trees were plantedone tree still remains, opposite to the entrance to the Church of St Thrse. It was in the woods close-by that Sir Nevile decided to build a palace for Gwendolen, who had seen a fairy running under the roots of a tree. Thus began the creation of Titanias Palace, the worlds masterpiece which is now on permanent exhibition in Legoland in Denmark.
The long association of the Mount Merrion Estate with the Fitzwilliam and Pembroke families ended when a deposit of
7125 was paid for Mount Merrion House and lands and they were handed over by 1 January 1919. The first of five bungalows was built on Mount Anville Road in 1918, and in the 1930s the first Kenny-built houses were erected on the Estate. The old House was refurbished and opened as a Roman Catholic Chapel of Ease on 17th May 1936. St Thomass Church of Ireland was also built as a Chapel of Easefor Christ Church, Taney. It was opened on 3 December 1874, by the Right Honourable and Most Reverend Chevenix-Trench, the Lord Archbishop of Dublin.

DOWN MEMORY LANE
Sixty years ago, in my early years, Mount Merrion was known as an isolated housing estate out in the countrybeyond the green fields and farmland mansions south of Donnybrook, which was then at the edge of suburban Dublin.' Mount Merrion quadrupled in size as house-building resumed after the war years. The residents welcomed the new homeowners and it quickly became the friendly neighbourhood that it still is, based on its long-established residents association, as well as other social services and amenitiesnot forgetting the Stella cinema.
Many of today's residents are in fact the third generation of those first settlers who braved the relative isolation in the countryside near the sleepy hamlet of Stillorgan. I sometimes see the faces of those elders in their grandchildren.
My next-door neighbour was a farmer's son from County Kildare who worked for the Department of Justice. A man of many parts and boundless energy, he arranged with the Kenny building firm to graze the Deer Park. Every morning he would milk his cows and sell the milk to one of the local milkmen, Mr Whitney, whose dairy farm fronted onto the main Enniskerry roadjust beyond Dundrum's Main Street.
In those days, milkmen delivered milk 'loose' from pint ladles from two-gallon 'watering' cans which were duly refilled from polished churns mounted on colourful horse-drawn floats. There was always the extra drop gratis, for the cat. On the return journey to Dundrum, Mr Whitney would collect whatever milk my neighbour would put aside for him. My enterprising neighbour also grazed bullocksand occasionally Mr Dempsey, the local butcher from Blackrock, would inspect the cattle and 'measure' the weight of a likely beast by passing a special tape over and under the animal's back to assess its girth and weight. Concluding a deal, Mr Dempsey would then drive the bullock ahead of him down Mount Merrion Avenue to his slaughterhouse in the village. My neighbour made good use of his farming background.

AT CHRISTMAS ...
The Irish writer Hugh Leonard tells of the wonder of Christmas in his childhood. He recalls that his family was poor for three hundred and sixty-four days. So when Christmas came round, it was not just a religious holiday, nor even a time for gluttonyit was a testimony to their survival through another year. Perhaps Christmas 2001 will recapture that feeling for many of us. We have survived a terrible year, a year of terrorist outrages and high-tech war, a year of sudden financial insecurity and of experts shaking their heads and declaring sadly that the world will never be the same again.
But, thank God, we have survived. We have survived to hear again the Christmas angels singing of the Glory of God and of Gods gift of peace to struggling humanity. In the carols sung by our children we will hear again the familiar story of the birth of the Prince of Peace. We may even grasp for just an instant that this gift is not just an event of ancient history, but one that happens again and again.
Gods gift of peace is ours whenever we open our hearts to receive it. There are wonderful moments when a kind word spoken or a helping hand offered reminds us how blessed we are. There are trivial Christmas presents that are worth their weight in gold because they remind us that we are not alone, but are blessed by friendship.
Gods gift of peace is ours whenever we open our hands to share it. There are wonderful moments when we reach into our pockets for the sake of the needy, when we turn up on the doorstep of someone who has felt excluded, when we forget ourselves in the desire to serve others.
WOMENS WORLD DAY OF PRAYER
In 1887, looking at the sufferings in the aftermath of the Civil War, Mary Ellen James, the wife of a Presbyterian minister, called the women of her church to set aside a day of prayer when people could acknowledge both personal and national sins, especially those which were contributing to the poverty, unemployment, lack of proper medical care and educational facilities. Some years later, two Baptist missionaries called for a day of prayer for overseas missions. These two movements united in 1920, to become the Womens World Day of Prayer, which is now celebrated around the globe on the first Friday of March each year.
The first services were held in Ireland in 1934in Dublin, Dn Laoghaire and Greystones. Ireland submitted a logo to the International Committee in 1982, when it was preparing the international celebration. In the centre is a Celtic cross formed by stylised kneeling figures at prayer. These are like arrows coming together from the four corners of the earth. All are joined within the green circle of the world and enfolded in Gods love.
The service for 1 March 2002, on the theme challenged to reconcile has been compiled by the women of Romaniawhere the two Christian worlds of Eastern Orthodoxy and Western Catholicism and Protestantism overlap. Because of its links with Germany, the Lutheran church in Romania has observed the world day of prayer since 1971, and it has spread throughout the country since then. For the women of Romania, being Challenged to Reconcile is a daily experience.
On Friday, 1 March 2002, there will be two services in our area. At 11am, when Gina Menzies will lead the meditation at the Novitiate Chapel of the Little Sisters of the Poor (Roebuck Road) , and at 11am in SS Philip and James (Cross Avenue), where the meditation will be led by Aileen Walsh.

OATLANDS COLLEGE
Over the past four years, Oatlands College has reached out to the entire community of the collegebeyond its present student and parent body. As a fifty-year-old school, we have now gained maturitya time for reflection on our past, present and future. We have remembered those in our community who, as young parents, built Mount Merrion and Kilmacud through their commitment to fundraising and community involvement. For Oatlands this was exemplified by the June Fair that was a star in the social calendar of the 50s and 60s. We also remember our past pupils who went out from the college and built lives which took them to the four corners of the globe. Because of our contacts with them, they have rediscovered many forgotten memories of their schooldays. We have managed to locate ninety percent of Oatlands past pupils.
The entire community of Oatlandspupils, parents, the Christian Brothers community, and past pupils have come together in 2001 for a year of celebration for this unique fiftieth birthday. There was the Jubilee Ball in May, with guest of honour Richard Ryan, Irish Ambassador to the UN, who amused us with stories of his own schooldays in Oatlands. Also in May, Brian Mackle organised a Regatta in Dn Laoghaire for enthusiasts who had sailed through our corridors in their youth. In June we celebrated our reunion years with a reception in the college and a steak BBQ in Glenalbyn. Pupils from the Leaving Certificate years of '56, '61, '66, '71, '76, '81, '86 all met with their classmatesmany for the first time since leaving school.
September/October was our golfing season. The first event was held in Old Connaa fun day out for a dozen four-ball teams. And the Golf Classic in the K Clubnow an annual eventwas a huge success. On 13 November, 1200 people joined us in the national Concert Hall for a night of musical celebration featuring present and past pupils.
Our Jubilee Year was brought to a close on Sunday 2 December, with a special liturgy in the Church of St Thrse, Mount Merrion. Chief celebrant was the Papal Nuncio to Ireland, Most Reverend Giuseppe Lazzarotto. We hope that all those who shared in any way in this year's celebration were enriched by the experience.

PRIORY OPEN SPACE
The residents associations of Priory and Patrician Villas have jointly objected to a move by Dn Laoghaire-Rathdown Council (in June) to change the zoning of the green space between the two estates to residential use. They consider that the removal of the open space is contrary to the National Development Plan (which states that all housing should have at least ten per cent open space) and the national children's policy which declares their right to a safe, local recreational area. While accepting that there is a housing crisis, the committees believe there are larger sites available to the Council which would better solve the problem. The residents committees of Priory and Patrician Villas have lobbied councillors to reverse the zoning of the green space, which they want to be developed more appropriately into a safe play area which would benefit Priory and Patrician Villas, as well as neighbouring areas.

MMRA SUPPORTS COMMUNITY CENTRE PROJECT
The Mount Merrion Residents Association (MMRA) strongly supports the effort to complete the Mount Merrion Community Centre project by the end of 2002. MMRA has recommended that the restructured community centre should include an office facility to provide secretarial services and an information centre for voluntary and community organisations. Such a serviceobviously with an appropriate chargecould provide a valuable local contact point and communications centre for many groups in Mount Merrion.
The Association was represented by three of its officers at the recent public meeting to promote the project and MMRA presented a cheque for 1000 toward provision of better facilities for local community organisations and their members.
MMRA can be contacted by writing to the Hon. Secretary, Anna Murphy, 3 Hollywood Mews, Mount Anville Road (email: murphyanna@eircom.net).
SCOIL SAN TREASA PARENTS' ASSOCIATION
During the academic year ended June 2001, the Parents' Association at Scoil San Treasa was involved in two special projects. A real team effort was undertaken to improve the school groundsparents and children arrived with spades and other garden toolslikewise, the teachers were well represented, offering their elbow grease and organisational skills; local businesses sponsored the purchase of 'a forest' of hedging and shrubs. Plants were placed along the school perimeter, along the school lane, around the prefabs and beside the path around the school deer. The next time you pass the school gates, take a look and admire the great work!
The second project was painting the classrooms. After discussing the requirements with school principal Frank Hogan, we tackled the two fifth-class classrooms. Enthusiastic parents turned out one weekend and completed the task, to plenty of positive feedback from pupils, teachers and parents. This successful project just might lead to an encore this year!
But the Parents' Association is not all about hard work. Our first social event of the current year was a very entertaining and informative wine-tasting eveningin the school hall transformed with suitable dcor and candlelight. Delicious finger food was provided to complement the fine wines. Michael Lowe of Michael's Wines (Deerpark Road) hosted the evening.
Many more activities are planned for the new year. If you'd like more information about the Parents' Association, please contact us through the school (tel: 2881505).
OUR DEAR DEER PARK
A WALK IN PARK
'All the leaves are brown, all the leaves are brown, and the sky is grey.'So went that famous sixties song of the Mamas and Papas.
Well, some leaves are indeed brown, and some skies are grey, but the Deer Park is now at its most beautiful. There are leaves of green, orange and golden brown on the trees and carpeting the grass below. And where gaps have appeared in the trees, there is more sunshine on these shorter days. On a clear day, you can see forever from the park. The vista stretches from the Dublin mountains to Howth Head. You can see planes rising from the airport and ships coming into Dublin Bay. The whole city is spread out before your eyes, with all its familiar landmarks. You can see church spires, the Four Courts, the Pigeon House and the Ballymun Towers (soon to be no more).
Many of us go to the park every day for the view, the good air, a walk and to meet our friends. Some go power walking to keep fit and lose weightit's their outdoor gym. Others like to amble and chat en route to school, to church or to the shops. More play tennis, hurling and football. The children from Scoil San Treasa and the Scouts go on nature walks and treasure hunts. Dog owners come with pets and parents watch and worry as their toddlers climb the rocks. A few have their walkmans and come to unwind and find some peace and quiet after a hectic day.
The Deer Park is there for all to enjoy all the time. Even on those grey damp days of autumn, it has a magic and a peacefulness all its own. The grey skies and the bare branches always pass. The blue sky may be there again the next dayand spring is never too far away. Soon the trees will be covered with green leaves, chestnuts and acorns.
M. O'C.
THE VIEW FROM THE HILL
OVER THE SEA
Most of us, I think, take the environment around us and the scenery for granted when we relax on a walk during a fine Sunday afternoon at this time of year, or on a pleasant evening in the summer. Should we?
Perhaps the next time you stroll through the Deer Park when there is a clear view over the city, you should look slightly to the right at the Bay where you may see a ship moving to or from the Port of Dublin. For you to take notice, she will need to be a large vessel, a passenger ferry on the run to Holyhead, or a big box-shaped vessel bringing more Japanese cars to our shores.
Have you thought about the important role that the Harbour of Dublin plays in the economy of this country? It is the largest port in the State, and there are sixteen passenger and roll-on-roll-off arrivals and departures daily. Other ships using the port are container vessels bringing in imported goods or taking out our exports, oil and gas tankers to provide our energy needs, large vessels carrying animal feedstuffs from the USA or Brazil, and timber ships with lumber from Africa or planking from the Baltic.
It is just 200 years ago since the first professional survey of Dublin Bay in 1800made by Captain William Bligh of the Mutiny on the Bounty. A much-maligned man, he was a superb seaman who navigated almost 6000 kilometres in an open boat across the Pacific to Timor in 42 days, using only a small compass, after being set adrift by mutineers in 1789. Four years after his survey here, a British Admiralty census found that out of 307 men building ships in Ireland, only 60 were employed in Belfast in two yards, while in Dublin there were 179 workers in nine yards on the Liffey.
So the next time you look across the city from the park, think of the sea and that we live on an island.
P.S.
WOULD YOU REALLY LIKE TO HAVE A PERFECT MEMORY?
We only become aware of our memory system when it fails in some way. For example, we have all had the experience of being introduced to someone at a party but forgetting his or her name within seconds. At such moments, we often wish we had a perfect memory. But have you ever wondered what that would be like?
In a short story called Funes the Memorious, Jorge Luis Borges described a fictional character who was cursed with a memory so perfect that he could recall every sight, sound and sensation that he had ever experienced. Sadly, Funes ended up in a darkened room trying to prevent his mind from being overwhelmed with detail. So, the next time you cant remember where you parked your car, dont get angry. Instead, smile and thank God for the ability to forget.
A.M.
HOW THE MIGHTY FALL
'It took me 25 years of learning to know what I know about wine,' I said to the expectant audience. 'If you really focus on the flavours in your mouth, you will understand why this example of Cabernet just oozes blackcurrants and cedar wood, with hints of Havana cigars. This bottle just screams "Cabernet", but don't be disappointed if you get it wrong. Sure, if it was that easywe'd all be wine experts.'
Having passed the bottle around for my students' benefit, I could feel the atmosphere shift to a new dimension. I felt my standing in the community had just nose-dived to that of a pickpocket artist. Why? I asked myself.
'Er, excuse me, Michael.' 'Yes, You have any questions?' 'How, exactly do you spell this "Cabernet" thenor is that the Italian for "Merlot"like it says on the back of this bottle??'
