The late gifted Ms Dolly Parton
Love has to be one of the most beautiful gifts we, as humans, can both give and receive. True love knows no distance, no boundaries, and no end. It stays with us through life’s joys and challenges, and its memories remain forever in our hearts. The late Ms Dolly Parton wrote this beautiful song, inspired by her deep love for her husband, Mr Carl Dean. It reminds us that when we truly love someone, that love should reach far beyond anything that words can express. So, whether, on this early November Monday morning, our readers are thinking of someone special, who still remain beside you, or someone you simply hold forever close and quietly, in your heart, this song and its lyrics are especially for you.
From Here To The Moon And Back.
From Here To The Moon And Back.
I could hold out my arms, say, “I love you this much”. I could tell you how long I will long for your touch. How much and how far would I go to prove, The depth and the breadth of my love for you? From here to the moon and back, Who else in this world will love you like that? Love everlasting, I promise you that, From here to the moon and back. From here to the moon and back. I want you to know you can always depend, On promises made and love without end. No need to wonder how faithful I’ll be, Now and on into eternity. From here to the moon and back, Who else in this world will love you like that? Forever and always, I’ll be where you’re at, From here to the moon and back. From here to the moon and back. I would blow you a kiss from the star where I sat. I would call out your name to echo through the vast. Thank heaven for you and to God, tip my hat, From here to the moon and back. And I’ll spend forever just proving that fact, From here to the moon and back. From here to the moon and back.

Tonight, as darkness falls and the shadows grow longer, why not challenge yourself to something truly spine-chilling? Forget the television, dim the lights, draw the curtains and settle down with a few terrifying tales. Halloween is the perfect night to enter a world where footsteps echo through empty corridors, mysterious figures lurk in the darkness, and things that should remain buried refuse to stay dead. But be warned, once you begin reading, every creaking floorboard, whisper of wind and unexplained sound might send a shiver down your spine! So, do you dare? Try W. W. Jacobs’ The Monkey’s Paw. You can find plenty of these classics free online.
Read alone if you’re feeling particularly brave, or gather a few friends and take turns reading aloud by candlelight. Let your imagination do the frightening, because sometimes the most terrifying monsters are those we create in our own minds. The challenge is simple; read the above six scary stories before midnight, preferably with the lights turned low.
And when you’ve finished, there’s just one question left to answer; will you be brave enough to turn out the light and go to sleep?
Lyrics: Irish singer-songwriter and activist Paul David Hewson[‘Bono’ Lead vocalist with U2]. Vocals: Irish and Canadian citizen, tenor, singer, musical theatre actor and winner of numerous music awards, the great C. T. Wilkinson.

The song “One”, released in 1992 from U2’s album ‘Achtung Baby’, is a deeply emotional and thought-provoking song that explores the complexities of love, relationships, forgiveness, and human connection. Although its beautiful melody may suggest a traditional love song, the lyrics reveal a much more complicated message about hurt, disappointment, and the struggle to understand one another. At its heart, “One” reminds us that being united does not mean being the same, and that meaningful relationships require compassion, acceptance, and a willingness to support each other despite our differences. It is this combination of vulnerability, pain, and hope that makes the song so powerful and enduring.

Is it getting better? Or do you feel the same? Will it make it easier on you now? You got someone to blame. You say, one love, one life, One need in the night. One love, we get to share it. It leaves you if you don’t care for it, Oh yes it does, yea. Did I disappoint you? Or leave a bad taste in your mouth? You act like you never had love, You want me to go without. Well it’s too late tonight. Drag the past out into the light. We’re one but we’re not the same. Carry each other, we get to carry each other Oh One! yes we are one. Have you come here for forgiveness? Have you come to raise the dead? Have you come here to play Jesus? To the lepers in your head. Did I ask too much, more than a lot? You gave me nothing, it’s all I got. We’re one but we’re not the same, You see we hurt each other, we do it again and again. Love is a temple, love a higher law. Love is a temple, love the higher law. You ask me to enter but then you make me crawl. I can’t be holding on to what you got, When all you got is hurt. One love, one blood. One life, you got to do what you should. One life, with each other. We are Sisters, we are brothers. One life but we’re not the same. We get to carry each other, carry each other yes. Yea we are One. We are we are one.

New Committee, New Season, Same Wonderful Community Spirit!
Suzie Connors (Club PRO) Reports.
There is something very special about a sporting club that combines a passion for its game with a genuine sense of friendship, community and belonging. Thurles Squash Club is one such club, and with a flourishing membership of over 150 players, it is certainly making its mark on the sporting landscape of Thurles and beyond.
Located at Thurles Golf Club in Turtulla, this vibrant and welcoming club has been part of the local sporting community for over four decades. Over those years, it has developed a proud tradition of encouraging participation, nurturing talent and, perhaps most importantly, bringing people together through a shared love of squash.
One of the club’s greatest strengths is its wonderfully inclusive approach. Whether you are an experienced player, someone returning to the game after years away, or a complete beginner who has never held a squash racket, the welcome is exactly the same. There is a place for everyone at Thurles Squash Club!
Squash itself is a fantastic sport, offering an exhilarating combination of fitness, speed, skill and enjoyment. It provides a tremendous cardiovascular workout while also sharpening reflexes, coordination and concentration. But at Thurles, the benefits extend well beyond the squash court. Friendships are forged, laughter is shared, and a tremendous sense of camaraderie runs through the club. The facilities include two excellent squash courts, while coaching, challenge matches and tournaments offer players opportunities to develop their abilities and enjoy some friendly competition. The club has also built a proud reputation for encouraging young players, recognising that the future of any sporting organisation depends on inspiring the next generation.
A New Committee Takes the Helm. As the club embarks on another exciting season, a newly appointed committee is ready to build upon these strong foundations and help steer Thurles Squash Club towards an even brighter future. John Keane takes up the position of Chairman, bringing leadership and a commitment to the continued success of the club. Olivia Kennedy assumes the important role of Secretary, while Gerry Connaughton takes responsibility as Treasurer. Gerry is already a familiar and respected figure in Thurles squash circles, having contributed enormously to the development and coaching of young players over the years. Jamie Ryan steps into the role of Men’s Captain, while myself, Suzie Connors takes on the dual responsibilities of Ladies’ Captain and Public Relations Officer(PRO), helping to promote the club and spread the word about everything it has to offer.
Together, this enthusiastic committee will play a vital role in maintaining the club’s welcoming atmosphere, encouraging participation and ensuring that Thurles Squash Club continues to flourish. Of course, no successful club is built by committee members alone. Its strength lies in the dedication of its members, the generosity of volunteers and the countless individuals who contribute their time and energy to keeping the sporting spirit alive.
Why Not Become Part of Something Special? With over 150 members and a reputation for friendliness, enthusiasm and sporting enjoyment, Thurles Squash Club has every reason to look forward to yet another successful season. And to anyone contemplating taking up a new sport, improving their fitness or simply meeting new people, the message could not be clearer:- You don’t need experience. You don’t need to be an athlete. You simply need the willingness to give it a go!
The club welcomes players of all abilities, and there is no better time to discover the tremendous enjoyment that squash can bring. Congratulations and best wishes to Chairman John Keane and his fellow committee members as they begin their new term. Here’s to another fantastic season of great squash, great friendships and great sporting memories at Thurles Squash Club!
Thurles Squash Club – More than just a game, it’s a community. Everyone welcome!
