As the new owner of Sullivan s Pub in County Cork, Ireland, Maura Donovan gets an earful of all the village gossip. But uncovering the truth about some local rumors may close her down for good in this mystery in the County Cork series. Bostonian Maura is beginning to feel settled in her new Irish home, just in time for summer tourist season to bring fresh business to her pub. But the first traveler to arrive is thirsty for more than just a pint of Guinness. Althea Melville is hot on the trail of a long-lost Van Dyck painting. Maura agrees to help Althea meet with the residents at the local manor house, the most likely location of the missing art. But when the manor s gardener is found murdered, Maura wonders what Althea s real motives are. Now, to solve the secret of the lost portrait and catch a killer, Maura will have to practice her Irish gift of gab and hunt down some local history before someone else is out of the picture.
Nestled in the valley of the ski resort town of Star City, Utah, is a side street full of shops that specialise in the simple charms of earlier eras. Among these is the Rescued Word, where Chester Henry and his adult granddaughter Clare lovingly repair old typewriters and restore old books. But when a stranger to town demands the antique typewriter they re already repairing for another customer, Clare fears she may need to be rescued. And when the man later shows up dead in a back alley, she wonders: What about a dusty old typewriter could possibly be worth killing for?

A young Kilkenny woman has been commended for the example and leadership she has given to her local community by ensuring that it remains litter-free, despite recent setbacks.
Ebony Masuku was part of the original Newpark Close Junior Litter Warden Group, established in 2012 by Frank Cody and Nora Webster.
The experience of working with the Group served as an integral part of her personal development in her formative years. Without fail, every Saturday we were out picking up rubbish around Newpark Close.
Although it has had a number of name changes down throughout the years, one pub that has always had a huge following is the Bar Tender in Park Street where you can always find something different on offer from its adversaries in town.
Currently it boasts 120 beers from around the world and one of the finest selections of Irish craft beers which caters for the discerning connoisseur and has a solid following for the more adventurous pub goer.
The bar itself has been part of the local drinking culture since the early 1960s when it was bought by the late Cecil Black. Cecil purchased the premises from the White family who had run it previously and no sooner had he taken it over than he named it the Congo Bar, some say as a play on the words Black and White pertaining to the unrest in the African country and the location where many of the Irish peace keeping forces found themselves on their tour of duty.

The studio audience showered me with hisses, nuh-uh s, and boos as I answered questions about my parenting. I was on an episode of a nationally syndicated talk show that aired on March 3, 2020, just weeks before parenting became a fuller-time job for millions of American women.
My sin? I let my 10-year-old ride public transportation without me. I reassured those at the show s taping that the regular drivers and riders of my daughter s route would be there to help in an emergency that she and/or her travel companions two other fifth-graders couldn t handle. Mel Robbins, the life-coach-turned-TV-personality who hosted the show, responded with a chilling judgment: You re outsourcing your parenting.
