Confessions of a Local Celebrity: a Tale of Rags to No Rags, by Mike Soret

1995 was a magical year. Wedged between a nasty recession and a dot-com bubble, North America briefly had discretionary income to burn. In music, swing became the greatest recipient of this windfall. It had the right elements in place: it was anachronistic, it was clean-cut, it was non-threatening. Many forgettable acts came, got paid, and faded under the banner of this gimmick. The Molestics were one of those acts, and though they weren’t the worst (or best, tightest, or cleanest) of the pack, they certainly are the subject of this imbibing memoir. 190 pages, embossed covers, 6.5″ square.

Avril Webster Off We Go
Little did Limerick based Avril Webster know when she created books at her kitchen table to help her disabled son Stephen cope with everyday activities, that they would lead to a publishing contract for a series of six books .in just over a year from those homemade versions, her first series is now published, with another six to follow in 2008.

Seeing the benefit Stephen was getting from the homemade books,Avril set about adapting them to be suitable for Stephen’s classmates .With the help of illustrator David Ryley ,whose close family friend Christia attends St.Vincent’s Special School ,Lisnagry with Avril’s son Stephen,Avril created the Going Swimming book. Things took off from there.
The Off We Go! Storybooks explain ‘what comes next ‘ on an everyday outing ,like going to the Dentist etc(simple everyday issues we take for granted but can be very stressful for someone who has child with a disability, society has improved but not to a degree of total acceptability as of yet) and therefore reassure the child and encourage cooperation in each situation .By reading the book together at home and preparing a child for a new task or event ,they can manage the stages more easily ,ultimately reducing stress for themselves and those around them.

Each book contains colourful illustrations and is 12 pages long, a length recommended by Speech and Language therapists. The simple text uses basic vocabulary which can be easily understood and with the pictures it will help give structure and routine to children of different ages and abilities.

Avril Webster lives in Limerick, Ireland, she and her husband Robert (an ardent Liverpool fan), have three children, their eldest son Stephen has a moderate to severe intellectual disability.Avril has been a full time — carer for Stephen since 1998, 24 x 7, I call it a fact that our current government need to recognise more because this nation has so many carers. Avril and her family have strived to give their son Stephen the best in life; they have already made a good start today for him and for so many others out there with a disability. We wish them well in the future, it’s a difficult road.

The books are available locally in O’Mahony’s bookshop, Limerick.

The author of a new book recalling the tsunami incident at Ko Phi Phi island gave a presentation at Satree Phuket School to help raise funds & awareness. Lets find out more in this special report:

The Phuket release of a Book called And Then One Morning by Aaron le Boutillier, was held on Friday 24th October at the Satree Phuket High School with the Tourist Police, family and friends. The morning of the title refers to December 26, 2004. As that day dawned around the world, news stories followed a disaster that took hours to unfold as the tsunami raced across the vast Indian Ocean. For anyone caught up in the tsunami, however, it was all over in a matter of minutes. They were either alive or dead. Over a quarter of a million people lost their lives while millions who survived had to deal with the tragedy in countless ways.
Aaron le Boutillier was one such survivor. Aaron was on the Thai island of Koh Phi Phi where he had lived and worked through much of the nineties. Although settled in Singapore now, Aaron made regular visits to the island. And Then One Morning encapsulates the expat life on the small tropical island and introduces the reader to the main characters who either survived or perished in the tsunami. Chief amongst these is the Oswald family. Heinz Oswald spent eighteen years developing a successful dive business on Phi Phi. Aaron visited Phi Phi that Christmas to help Heinz and his family move to Phuket on the afternoon of December 26. That move never happened.
Hours after the tsunami, Aaron found Heinzs wife and four year old son alive.
There is relief and surprise as other characters are found alive. But for the next
two weeks there is the trauma of the search for Heinz and his two daughters.
And Then One Morning captures Aarons growth from a care-free twenty-two
year old into a successful business owner in Singapore by the time of the
tsunami. Following the tsunami he took responsibility to help the survivors of the
Oswald family as well as other friends from the island.
Four years on there are still people suffering from the tsunami in a multitude of
ways. Aaron has decided that the author royalties from the sale of his book
should go to helping some of those still traumatised by the disaster & to support various foundations in the South of Thailand.
Voice ****

Big Wave Publications pays him 12% royalties and it is these profits that he is using exclusively to help in various charities. He is hoping by Xmas 2008 that sales will be sufficient enough to post his first photos and testimonials of the funds handed over.
During the Bangkok Book Launch he met Mr. Nattawat from the Satree Phuket High School. They kindly offered to host the Phuket book launch and Aaron donated 100% of the profits from the sale of the book that day to Satree School. After that he will use the 12% to support their orphanage. In 2009, he hopes to work with Mr Pong Chongchit from the Thailand Tsunami Education centre for Life.
