JIMMY SAVILE “brought a little bit of magic and sparkle to everybody that he met”, mourners at his funeral service were told yesterday. Savile will be buried today following more public ceremonials in Scarborough, the North Yorkshire seaside town he loved and where he had a home. Savile, who presented the first episode of Top Of The Pops, was found dead at his flat in Roundhay, Leeds, just two days before his 85th birthday. He raised millions for charity and ran more than 200 marathons in support of good causes.
Sir Jimmy Savile 'Fixed It' for the Youghal Pipe Band
Jim’ll Fix It was a long-running British television show, broadcast by the BBC between 1975 and 1994. It was presented by Jimmy Savile.
The show debuted on 31 May 1975, and ran until July 1994, in the Saturday teatime slot. It was devised and hosted by the late Jimmy Savile, who would “fix it” for the wishes of several viewers (usually children) to come true each week.
The standard format was that the viewer’s letter, which described their wish, would be shown on the screen and read out aloud by the letter’s writer, although initially Savile himself read the letters. This would be followed with a quick chat between Jimmy and the letter writer, where they would discuss the wish.
The wish would then be enacted (either live in the studio or shown in a pre-recorded format, which usually consisted of a segment recorded on film), and finally the viewer would be presented with a medal which had the words “Jim fixed it for me” engraved on it.
Occasionally, other people featured in the ‘Fix It’ (actors from well known series, for example), might also give the viewer an extra gift somehow relating to the Fix. Savile himself played no part in the filming or recording of the ‘fix-its’, unless specifically requested as part of the letter writer’s wish.
Youghal Pipe Band's Michael McCarthy wrote the letter to Jim'll Fix It
Fr. Tom Paul Geary "My days are like a lengthened shadow, And I wither away like grass"
Youghal Pipe Band march at Green Park, Youghal, back in 1984
Back in 1984 the late Michael McCarthy from the Youghal Pipe Band wrote to the Jim’ll Fix It programme asking if Jim’ll Fix It so that the pipe band could be on the tv as a request from his father, Duis McCarthy. Jim indeed fixed it for the Youghal Pipe Band and the BBC team duly arrived in town to film the pipers in different location around Youghal and nearby Ardmore. Youghal priest Fr. Tom Paul Geary and Michael McCarthy went to the BBC studios where they received the famous Jim’ll Fix It medal on St. Patrick’s Day 1984.

THE OPENING NIGHT of Youghal Theatre Company’s ‘Sive’ took place last night at the Youghal Community Centre, North Main St. Before the show, invited guest the Mayor of Youghal Eoin Coyne briefly addressed the audience to wish the cast and background team the best of luck with the production.

The play which is one of Irish theatre’s best-loved plays is sure to thrill Youghal audiences this week. Michael Beecher of the Youghal Theatre Group said everyone is excited by the production. “Sive is a great show and even after all these years it’s still a powerful play,” he said.

Written by John B Keane, Sive is based in rural Ireland of the 1950′s. Sive is a story of greed and bitterness, of a scheming matchmaker and a resentful woman forcing a beautiful young girl to marry an old man for money.
Sive caused considerable controversy on it’s debut in February1959. Since then it has become an established part of Ireland’s theatrical canon and is also featured on this year’s Leaving Certificate syllabus.
Sive is a young and beautiful orphan who lives with her uncle Mike, his wife Mena and his mother Nanna. A local matchmaker, Thomasheen Sean Rua, convinces Mike and Mena to organise the marriage of Sive to an old man called Sean Dota for the sum of two hundred pounds. However, Sive is in love with a young man, Liam Scuab, who is deemed unsuitable for her.
Distraught, forced to do the will of her uncle and his bitter wife, and faced with an unthinkable future, Sive takes the only choice left to her…….

Rihanna ‘Not Impressed’ With North’s Agricultural Programme.
By Enda Long-Grass.
ROCK SINGER RIHANNA says she is “very disillusioned” with the Northern Ireland Rural Development Programme following her recent trip to the province. The singer took time out during her Belfast concert tour to visit the countryside and investigate how the programme was developing. Unfortunately she was ordered from a field by an irate farmer during her explorations. “One of the stipulations in the 2009-13 Policy document is to ‘encourage diversification of economic activity’ but I didn’t experience anything like that,” says the disappointed singer. “I was testing a cross-cultural media initiative involving turnip-friendly film technology, that could increase turnover without risking subsidy deferment, but I was shown the gate and told to pull it out after me. I think the whole thing needs to be re-generated, preferably with a coinciding education programme for farmers. Right now I want nothing more to do with it.”
On a positive note the singer her faith in the Democratic Unionist Party remains unshaken despite party member Alan Graham disagreeing with her agriculture initiatives. “I still take my shir….er, cap off to Peter Robinson whose wife has long inspired me,” she says.
On Friday September 23rd last, locals and visitors enjoyed the unique experience at Youghal’s second culture night which was a free night of entertainment, discovery and adventure.

Tony Sheehan, Jim Coleman and Tim Smith also played some of their favourite tunes.

The photographic exhibition ‘Last Days. The Last of Carpets in Youghal’ in the Mall Arts Centre was also a highlight of the night. The exhibition captured the mood of the workers and the work place in the final days of the carpet factory in store street just before it closed back in 2006. The life size images gave a real depth to the exhibition.

The diverse programme of events around the town was amazing and really had something for everyone. The culture night definitely built up on the success of last year event and great praise to all involved.
