VALLEY of Knockanure

Easter Week or the heroes of Ninety-Eight
Those Fenian men who roamed the glen for victory or defeat
Their names on history's page are told, their memory will endure
Not a song was sung of our darling sons in the valley of Knockanure.

There was Walsh and Lyons and the Dalton boy, they were young and in their prime
They rambled to a lonely spot where the Black and Tans did hide
The Republic bold they did uphold though outlawed on the moor
And side by side, they fought and died in the valley of Knockanure.

It was on a neighbouring hillside we listened in hushed dismay
In every house, in every town, a young girl knelt to pray
They're closing in around them now, with rifle fire so sure
And Lyons is dead and young Dalton's down in the valley of Knockanure.

But ere the guns could seal his fate, young Walsh had broken through
With a prayer to God, he spun the sod as against the hill he flew
And the bullets cut his flesh in two, still he cried with voice so sure
Oh, revenge I'll get for my comrades' deaths in the valley of Knockanure.

The summer sun is sinking now behind the field and lea
The pale moonlight is shining bright far off beyond Tralee
The dismal stars and the clouds afar are darkening o'er the moor
And the banshee cried when young Dalton died, in the valley of Knockanure.

The 1908 Olympic Games were originally awarded to Rome. Italian authorities were preparing for the games when Mount Vesuvius erupted in April 1906. The eruption devastated Naples, and Italy's Olympic funds were redirected to help with the city's reconstruction. London was selected to host the games.

Although given just two year's notice, London successfully completed the necessary infrastructure. The main venue for the 1908 Olympics was the White City Stadium, built as part of the Franco-British Exhibition in west London. The stadium included running and cycling tracks, an open-air swimming pool and a pitch for football, hockey, rugby and lacrosse. The grandstands accommodated 93,000 spectators. Other Olympic events took place at venues throughout London.

The Olympics ran from 27 April to 31 October and involved 3,000 competitors from 21 teams. This was the first games to award gold, silver and bronze medals, and the first in which all entrants had to compete as members of national teams, rather than as individuals.

Diving and field hockey first appeared at the 1908 Olympics. Less successfully, powerboat racing and tug-of-war were held for the first and last times. This was also the first Olympics to include winter events. However, the four on-ice figure skating events were held months after most of the other events had taken place.

The 1908 Olympics introduced qualifying rounds and a limit on the number of competitors any one nation could field. The marathon's distance was increased from 24.85 miles to 26.2 miles to allow the course to cover the ground from Windsor Castle to White City Stadium. The official marathon distance is still 26.2 miles (42.195 kilometres).

International politics and controversial judging marred the London Olympics. Problems started at the opening ceremony, where athletes paraded around the stadium by nation. Finnish athletes were told to march under the Soviet Union flag and chose to march with no flag at all. Irish competitors were ordered to compete for Great Britain, causing many to withdraw. The United States flag was not displayed above the stadium. In response, the US team refused to respectfully dip their flag to the Royal Box. A team member later claimed "this flag dips to no earthly king."

Controversy continued on the field. During the 400-metre race, the American winner J C Carpenter was disqualified for obstructing the British competitor, Wyndham Halswelle. The final was rerun but Carpenter and the two other runners, both American, refused to participate. Halswelle ran round the track on his own to secure the gold medal.

The marathon's dramatic ending caught the public imagination. After 26 miles (42 kilometres), Italian Dorando Pietri was the first to enter the stadium. He collapsed on the track five times before being carried over the finish line by officials. He was disqualified.

These controversies led to the creation of the International Amateur Athletic Federation, which standardised track and field competition rules. For future Olympics, the International Olympic Committee (I.O.C.) drew judges from an international pool rather then just the host country.

Fr William Moloney lately arrived from Ireland took up a tempory position in Sierra Valley where lived about 1000 people many of them Ranchers in 1868 . He is noted as being the first Missionary to visit the north of Pumas County . Visiting Johnsville on Deer Creek , Quincy, Indian Valley, Susanville and Honey Lake Valley in Lassen County . He was the first Priest in Lassen County . The records show that Fr William Moloney was very active on the Missions in California and Nevada .He gave 40yrs service to the Church in this area . Journies of 50 miles were common . At times he would be 100 miles from the end of the trail at Downieville where mining took place in 1880 . He named his famous Horse Charley . In the mountain area of Northern California travel in winter was difficult with deep snow drifts . To travel you would need a pine board 4" wide and 8 to 12ft long fixed to the soles of shoes a long stick was needed for balance . A priest had to be strong and fit to cope with the hardships of Missionary life . It took 6 weeks to make the circuit from Truckee to Alturas and back home again . Fr William Moloney son of Tadhg and Kate Enright born Coilagurteen, Knockanure in 1841 Ordained 1864, died Sutter Creek 1903 .

Newtownsandes

The Vales of New Dirreen

Fare well, fare well, my native land farewell forever more,
I now must leave you far behind and seek a foreign shore,
For very soon the ocean wide between us will intervene,
In that dear old home its mine no more, in the vales of New Direen.

At home in dear old Ireland I fain for ever would stay,
But fate it has compelled for to wander far away,
From these native hills and valleys fair where blooms the shamrock green
In that dear old home its mine no more in the Vales of New Dirreen

In cold dark waves and Saxon lands we have known great joys and woes
And in that far off ocean wide where the stately Hudson flows
In Ireland too we have cherished hopes but seas are placed between
From that dear old home its mine no more in the Vales of New Dirreen

The sandowen seas I have crossed before and sought a foreign strand
But still I thought I soon would see again my native land
Its like John Mitchell in his cell where something tells unseen
Which makes me roam from my dear old home in the Vales of New Dirreen

When last I looked upon that place it was with a mournful eye
The tears fell trickling down my face and loudly I did cry
The pale of night it soon came down and that was the last I had Seen
of my dear old home its mine no more in Vales of New Dirreen

Now to Conclude those enfin lines fearing I should be late
The Mourning Train from Adagh starts at twenty five past eight
O God be with you Ireland your the starlight ocean Qeen
And a Fond farewell to all who dwell in the Vales of New Dirreen.

Some Memorials to the Dead Collected by Jer Kennelly.

Knockanure Medieval Church
By John Murphy
Joe Gleeson of upper Athea died at an advanced age. A protestant, he was respected by all for his many admirable qualities. A keen sportsman, he often roamed the fields of Gortaglanna and Kilmorna with dog and gun, this area was the haven of grouse and rabbits. He had a deep interest in local history and ancient ruins or to use his own word "Antiquity". Entering the old Knockanure graveyard he would gaze reverently on the roofless Medieval Church and pause hatless beside the headstone of long departed friends. One of his statements has been recorded. It is that the roof was taken off the church and placed on a protestant church in Athea. The man responsible for this was Van de Leur, an officer in Cromwell`s army. The period would be c.1652. But about 100 years before this time churches were seized in an attempt to made Catholics attend protestant service. This attempt failed. Still it is probable that they maintained the buildings as long as possible in case enough protestant settlers might be planted to form a congregation. According to historians there was a relaxation of the penal laws in the period from 1620 up to the new wave of persecution after the Cromwellian take over. And so Joe Gleeson`s statement handed down from his forbears may well be based on fact. Charles Smith, a protestant historian wrote a history entitled
"The Ancient and Present State of the Co. Kerry 1756". We learn from him that the church was a ruin by then and the Glebe land (known as Farren today) was held by Ratoo landlord Staughton. Going back 322 years before this we find that in 1434 Fr. Scanlon was vicar of Knockanure parish and before his tenure there was Fr. Cormac o Connor and another named Kennelly. They were of the Augustinian order whose monastery was at Ratoo, Ballyduff. The abbot of Ratoo had jurisdiction over several parishes in North Kerry. From such evidence it seems that the church was erected some 600 years ago or more. But it still stands - its ivy clad gables and stout wall-in defiance of the ravages of the time. Inside those walls is the grave of famous local ballad composer and wit Paddy Drury (died 1945)
Quoted:
"Knockanure church may the heavens bless you,
That sweet place of rest where the dead do resort,
If you stand by its corner on a bright summers morning you will see ships sailing from many a port,
You will see Co. Clare and the hills back in Kerry,
The tide at Saleen as it rises and falls.
If you travelled the nation for a burying plantation,
Still Knockanure church in the pride of them all.

Footnote: The church is just 400 feet above sea level.
