	Jimmy Nolan as he was generally called was a man of many parts, a shopkeeper, photographer and a writer. Many newspapers and magazines have published his work. He was always a good man to seek out a suitable photo to publish. He knew the type of material that suited each publication. If he gave a photo exclusive to a newspaper it would have a better chance of been published. Other things Jimmy had to watch was writing something that could cause offence. There are always self-appointed censers, just waiting for the opportunity to show their authority. The revenue commissioners were said to read the parish notes in the "Kerryman" where they got the names of people who worked abroad and return with a "nest egg". When a concert or a dance was advertised through the notes, unless you worded it very carefully it would be omitted, unless there was an advertisement that week in the advertising column of the newspaper for that dance or the concert. Often the name of the play or sketch would not be mentioned because the performing rights people would be alerted the collect there few pounds. Jimmy has left us a valuable insight into what was happening in the parish through the "Kerryman" notes column. Where he added a bit of history here and there, most notes recorded weddings, deaths and who went abroad and came home for holidays he also wrote for the Shannon Side Journal on the tragic drowning on the Shannon in 1893. Jimmy says while an article in 1946 for the "Cork Examiner" he interviewed closely many who were connected with the disaster of 1893. Many remember how Jimmy would climb on a chair steady himself with the support of a bystander. He would a just his camera many times to get what he considered a proper shot. He was always in demand for every occasion where a photographer was needed. Often travelling long journeys which were no problem to him as he enjoyed been driven to occasions, where he would get a photo and bits and pieces for his next weeks notes.

The Football Feats of Jack Flavin John Murphy One of Moyvanes greatest footballer was born in Aughrim and grew up when Con Broshan was the best midfield player in Ireland from 1924 to 1932. At 19 he was on the Newtown (Moyvane) team which won North Kerry in 1928. At 20 he was of the Kerry junior team who won the all-Ireland in 1930. Two of that team also went of to greater honours �David o Keeffe and Roondy Landers. In 1931 he was of the team who won the National League and was sub the same year when they won the all-Ireland. In 1932 he was again sub in the 4 in a row win. Then politics began to rear its ugly head and a valley period in Kerry Football set in from 1933 to 1936. But back again in 1937. He was part of a forward machine which swamped Cavan in the replayed final �the other forwards were Purty and Roondy Landers, Miko Doyle, Charlie Sullivan and Tim o Leary. In 1938 he was on the Galway team which beat Kerry in a replay. In 1939 he won the National League with Galway. Still with Galway he won three more Connaught Championship medals only to be beaten twice by Kerry in the All- Ireland Finals of 1940 and 1941 �the third time by Dublin. Truly a great player. A local poet puts it better, Mick Roche played a great game at mid-field, but Flavin was peerless. That day for his equal is surely missing from football in Kerry today. Knockanure Tithe List c1825.

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.

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.
