Professor Austin Stack is encouraging people to learn more about their kidney health as today marks World Kidney Day. Chronic kidney disease affects around one in ten adults in Ireland and is often described as a “silent condition,” with many people unaware they have it in the early stages. Health experts say early testing and awareness of the risk factors can make a huge difference. Professor Stack, a kidney specialist with UL Hospitals Group, joined Alan Morrissey on Morning Focus to talk about why kidney health is so important and what people can do to protect it. Alan also spoke to Sharon Fitzgerald, a kidney transplant recipient from Newmarket on Fergus, who is on the board of the Irish Kidney Association. Image © www.worldkidneyday.org

Derek is a farrier that started off in South Africa, built a business in Virginia, and had to leave the US and start over.  This led him and his family on an interesting journey through the deserts of Dubai and the racehorse yards of New Market, UK.  Always the inventor, Derek has found his way back to the US and is still a huge part of the farrier industry, even though he isn't getting under horses anymore.  You're invited to listen in on our conversation.  We are cleared for takeoff.

A Vision Born from Compassion Fifty-two years ago, educator Bill Moyers looked around his classroom and asked a simple but profound question: where will these students go after graduation? In 1974, opportunities for individuals with disabilities were virtually nonexistent. Rather than accepting this reality, Moyers and his colleagues founded Shen-Paco, an organization that would transform the lives of hundreds of individuals across Shenandoah and Page Counties. Today, Moyers remains the chairman of the board, still passionately committed to the mission he started over half a century ago. His vision has grown from a small workshop on Route 11 in New Market to a comprehensive network serving approximately 100 individuals across two facilities and three group homes. From Workshops to Day Programs The organization has evolved dramatically since its early days. Initially, Shen-Paco operated as a workshop where individuals performed sub-minimum wage work. However, as Ingrid Thompson, the organization's outreach coordinator, explains, the word "workshop" has been removed from their dictionary entirely. This shift represents far more than semantic change—it reflects a fundamental transformation in how society views and serves people with disabilities. Instead of focusing on work, Shen-Paco now operates as a day program where individuals come to enjoy camaraderie with their peers, participate in crafts, and engage with their community. The change, Ingrid emphasizes, isn't a step backward—it's actually progress. The individuals served by Shen-Paco are living their best lives, free from the pressure of productivity metrics and workplace demands. More Than Activities: Building Community On any given day at Shen-Paco's facilities in Quicksburg or Luray, you'll find individuals participating in bingo tournaments, showing off their karaoke skills, or working on craft projects. Visitors regularly stop by to share their talents—from musicians performing concerts to woodworkers demonstrating their craft. The Sheetz organization makes an annual visit with their tanker truck, bringing treats that delight everyone. Yet the most critical component of Shen-Paco's program happens beyond their bright blue building's walls. Every single day, staff members take individuals out into the community. Sometimes it's just a quick trip to 7-Eleven for a drink. Other times, they visit coffee shops, restaurants, or stores throughout the valley. These outings serve a dual purpose that extends far beyond simple recreation. Changing Perceptions, One Interaction at a Time Ingrid passionately believes these community interactions are essential for breaking down decades of stigma. Historically, individuals with disabilities were hidden away in institutions or kept at home, invisible to the general public. Consequently, many people developed unfounded fears and misconceptions about interacting with disabled individuals. "They're just human beings like you or me," Ingrid explains. "They just may need a little bit of help here or there." She recounts a memorable trip to Chick-fil-A in Harrisonburg where a couple not only paid for the group's meals but also gave them a gift card, moved by witnessing Shen-Paco's work firsthand. These moments of connection are precisely what the organization aims to create. Furthermore, Thompson notes that individuals with disabilities are always accompanied by staff members or family, ensuring safe and supported interactions. They're non-judgmental, incredibly complimentary, and often surprisingly knowledgeable about specific subjects that capture their interest. The Brain Works Differently, Not Less One of the most important points Ingrid emphasizes is that individuals with disabilities possess remarkable intelligence—their brains simply work differently. Many excel at mathematics, others play piano beautifully, and some become experts on topics that fascinate them. When given the opportunity, they demonstrate depth of knowledge that often surprises people encountering them for the first time. Moreover, Thompson suggests that everyone has some form of disability. The difference is that most people have learned to adapt, while some individuals need additional support to navigate those challenges. This reframing helps normalize disability as part of the human experience rather than something separate or "other." Beyond Day Programs: A Home Away from Home While many people know Shen-Paco from its day program facilities, the organization also operates three group homes—two in New Market and one in Stanley. These homes house approximately twelve individuals who need residential support. As caregivers age, they often reach a point where they can no longer provide the physical care their loved ones require. Shen-Paco's group homes offer a solution, and the organization is already exploring the purchase of another home to meet growing demand. Ingrid jokes that she wants to live in these homes herself—they're beautifully maintained spaces where residents receive excellent care while maintaining as much independence as possible. The Reality of Funding Despite its vital role in the community, Shen-Paco faces significant financial challenges. The organization operates as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, and most individuals attend through Medicaid waiver programs funded by their Social Security Disability benefits. While self-pay options exist, the reality is that Shen-Paco relies heavily on grants, fundraising, and community donations to bridge funding gaps. Currently, the organization's most pressing need involves its fleet of twenty-one vehicles. With an average age of twelve years, these vehicles require constant maintenance. A single set of tires costs around $1,000—multiply that by twenty-one vehicles, and the numbers become staggering. Add in brake replacements, oil changes, and general wear and tear, and transportation costs quickly spiral. Meanwhile, obtaining new buses through the grant process takes two to three years. Therefore, Shen-Paco must maintain its aging fleet while waiting for replacements. Shen-Paco has launched a fundraising campaign specifically targeting vehicle maintenance costs, recognizing that transportation is absolutely essential to the community integration that lies at the heart of their mission. How the Community Can Help Ingrid offers several ways community members can support Shen-Paco's work. Financial donations help fund outings—a simple coffee shop visit for five people costs $30, while zoo trips and other excursions require even more resources. Donations can be made through the organization's newly redesigned website at www.shen-paco.org or mailed directly to their Quicksburg facility. Additionally, the organization welcomes invitations from local businesses. Whether it's a coffee roaster showing how beans are ground or a manufacturer demonstrating production processes, these behind-the-scenes experiences provide invaluable learning opportunities. Shen-Paco typically brings small groups of five or six individuals, making visits manageable for host businesses. Mechanics and automotive businesses can also make a tremendous impact by offering discounted or pro bono services for the vehicle fleet. Every oil change, tire rotation, or brake job donated directly supports the mission of community integration. An Open Invitation Ingrid extends a warm invitation to anyone curious about Shen-Paco's work: visit the bright blue building in Quicksburg or the Luray facility anytime. See firsthand how individuals participate in activities, interact with staff, and prepare for community outings. Witness the hugs Ingrid receives each morning from people living their best lives, starting each day with genuine joy and affection. As March's Disability Awareness Month draws attention to these issues, Ingrid hopes the conversation continues long beyond the calendar page turns. Changing perceptions requires ongoing effort, consistent community presence, and countless individual interactions that gradually erode outdated stigmas. Looking Forward After fifty-two years, Shen-Paco continues adapting to meet evolving needs. The transition from workshops to day programs reflects broader societal shifts in understanding disability services. The expansion into group homes addresses aging caregivers' concerns. The emphasis on community integration actively combats isolation and stigma. Through it all, Bill Moyers' original question remains relevant: where will these individuals go? Thanks to Shen-Paco, the answer is everywhere—coffee shops, stores, restaurants, zoos, and countless other places throughout the Shenandoah Valley. They're not hidden away or segregated. Instead, they're living full, engaged lives as valued community members. As Ingrid reminds us, these individuals don't judge. They offer unconditional acceptance, genuine compliments, and pure joy. Perhaps the real question isn't how we can help them, but rather what we can learn from their approach to life. In a world often characterized by criticism and division, their non-judgmental kindness offers a powerful alternative.

Today (24th February) marks the fourth anniversary of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine — a war that began in 2014 with the seizure of Crimea and has since become one of the defining geopolitical conflicts of our time. Over the weekend, Ukraine again faced waves of drone and missile attacks, while European foreign ministers meeting in Brussels struggled to agree a new sanctions package. US-brokered talks in Geneva have stalled, and questions remain about what happens next. Meanwhile, Cabinet Ministers are convening, ahead of a special meeting of European leaders to mark four years since Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Taoiseach Michael Martin is expected to commit to advancing Ukraine's EU membership, when Ireland holds the EU Presidency later this year. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky will address the world later on today, via video link with the European Parliament. To discuss the global political picture and the local impact here in Clare, Alan was joined by Professor Donnacha Ó Beachain of Dublin City University, a native of Newmarket-on-Fergus and expert in post-Soviet politics, and Mariya Nikishanova, originally from Irpin in Ukraine and living in Ennis for more than a decade.

A Clare organisation which delivers meals to homes across the county is hopeful a funding boost will mitigate its soaring food costs. After first floating the measure in Budget 2026, the Government has announced a €2 million increase in the HSE funding allocation for Meals on Wheels organisations nationwide. Obair in Newmarket-on-Fergus brings meals to roughly 300 service users each day and has 12 vans traversing the length and breadth of the county. Eimear Murphy, who works with Obair, says it's getting more difficult to cover food bills.

This Week on the Podcast: Why So Many Homeowners Are Downsizing Right Now Have you noticed more “For Sale” signs popping up from longtime homeowners? There’s a reason. According to recent data, nearly 12,000 people are turning 65 every day, and a significant percentage are planning to retire in the next couple of years . That’s a big shift — and it’s impacting the housing market in a meaningful way. On this week’s episode, we break down: Why downsizing isn’t about “giving something up” — it’s about gaining control and simplicity The top reasons homeowners over 60 are making a move (hint: it’s lifestyle, not timing the market) How equity is making downsizing more achievable than many expect What this means for inventory heading into 2026 The average homeowner today has around $299,000 in equity — and for many longtime owners, it’s even more. That changes the conversation. If you’re thinking about what the next chapter looks like — or you’re wondering how this trend affects you as a buyer or seller — this episode is a must-listen.

Our CIO and Chief U.S. Equity Strategist Mike Wilson discusses how the nomination of Kevin Warsh to lead the Fed could move markets.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Mike Wilson, Morgan Stanley's CIO and Chief U.S. Equity Strategist. Today on the podcast: The implications of Kevin Warsh's nomination as the next Fed Chair. It's Monday, February 2nd at 10 am in New York. So, let's get after it.Last Friday, President Trump officially nominated Kevin Warsh to be the next Chair of the Fed. The prevailing narrative around Warsh is fairly straightforward: he's seen as more hawkish on the size of the Fed's balance sheet, potentially more flexible on interest rates, and less comfortable with open-ended liquidity support than the current leadership. That characterization is fair, but it doesn't answer the more important question—why pick Warsh now, and what problem is this nomination trying to solve?In my view, the answer starts with markets, not politics. Over the past several months, we've witnessed parabolic moves in precious metals alongside persistent weakness in the U.S. dollar. While this administration has been very clear that a weaker dollar is not inherently a bad thing—especially as part of a broader economic rebalancing strategy—there's an important distinction between a controlled decline and a disorderly one.To understand why this matters so much, you need to zoom out. The administration is attempting to rebalance the U.S. economy across three dimensions simultaneously, all with the same ultimate goal—growing out of an enormous debt burden that's been building for more than two decades. At this point, simply cutting spending isn't realistic, economically or politically. Nominal growth is the only viable path forward.The current strategy is more supply side driven. It focuses on rebalancing trade through tariffs and a weaker dollar, shifting the economy away from over-consumption and toward investment, and addressing inequality through immigration enforcement and deregulation. The goal is to let companies—not the government—make capital allocation decisions, while boosting income through wages rather than entitlements. If it works, the result should be higher nominal growth with a healthier mix of real growth driven by productivity.Markets, to some extent, have already started to price this in. Since last spring, cyclical stocks have outperformed, market breadth has improved, and leadership has begun to rotate away from the mega-cap names that dominated the last cycle. Small and mid-cap stocks are working again too. That's exactly what you'd expect in the middle stages of a ‘hotter but shorter' expansion, my core view. At the same time, the surge in gold tells us something else is going on. Precious metals don't move like that unless investors are questioning the endgame.That's where Kevin Warsh comes in. His nomination appears designed to restore credibility around the balance sheet and slow the momentum of that skepticism. Based on Friday's price action, it worked. Gold and silver sold off sharply, the dollar strengthened modestly, and equities and rates stayed relatively stable. That combination buys time—and time is exactly what this strategy needs to work.One of the best ways to track whether markets are buying into this story is by watching the ratio of the S&P 500 to gold. It's a simple but powerful proxy for confidence in productive growth. The recent collapse was driven mostly by gold rising—and Friday's sharp reversal was mainly gold prices falling, one of the largest on record.That doesn't mean skepticism has been eliminated. Instead, it tells me the administration is paying attention and understands they need to restore confidence. If the ratio continues to recover, it will likely come first through lower gold prices and tighter liquidity expectations, and later through stronger earnings growth driven by productivity gains. That could mean near term risk for other risk assets, including equities. Bottom line, the current ‘run it hot' approach has a better chance of delivering sustainable growth than prior policy mixes—but it won't be smooth, and confidence will ebb and flow along the way. Watching how markets respond, especially through signals like gold, the dollar, and capital spending trends, will tell us whether this strategy ultimately succeeds. My view is that it's the best approach which keeps me bullish on 2026 even if the near term is more rocky.Thanks for tuning in; I hope you found it informative and useful. Let us know what you think by leaving us a review. And if you find Thoughts on the Market worthwhile, tell a friend or colleague to try it out!

The enormous genetic influences in Kerrin McEvoy's background were obvious from a tender age. In fact the native of Streaky Bay on South Australia's Eyre Peninsula, wanted to do nothing else but ride racehorses from age 9 or 10. Initially apprenticed to grandfather Bill Holland, Kerrin had a brief stint with Russell Cameron in Adelaide before seeing out his time with the legendary Hayes family. After 29 years as a professional jockey, Kerrin McEvoy boasts an amazing record- 2348 wins including 85 Gr 1's, 83 Gr 2's, 146 Gr 3's and another 160 at listed level. In five seasons overseas he won 323 races in the UK and Europe with another 40 in Dubai. The 45 year old father of four, was enjoying his job more than ever when a recent starting gate accident left him with multiple fractures in the right foot. That little hiatus has given him the time to talk to me at length on our weekly podcast, and I can't tell you how delighted I am. Kerrin begins by explaining the circumstances of the mishap and the extent of his injuries. He reveals the opinion of specialists and a likely date for his return. Kerrin agrees it was always going to be difficult to stay away from the racing game given his powerful genetic background.  He talks of father Phil and uncles Darren and Tony, all jockeys early in life. Tony of course is still toasting his Caulfield/Melbourne Cup training double with Half Yours. Kerrin remembers an early apprenticeship to grandfather Bill Holland and time spent sitting on a chaff bag pretending to be a jockey. He looks back on a six month stint in Adelaide with former outstanding trainer Russell Cameron.  The champion jockey talks about his transfer to Peter Hayes and the beginning of his riding career. He looks back on his first race ride and first win just a few weeks later. Kerrin says he was thrilled when sent to Melbourne as the stable's resident metropolitan apprentice. He still can't believe his luck in picking up the Melbourne Cup ride on Brew in 2000. A clever ride put him into the record books as the youngest jockey to win the Cup in 52 years. He still has trouble believing his first Gr 1 win came in Australia's most famous race. He remembers a Caulfield win that qualified him for work experience in Godolphin's state of the art Dubai stable.  Kerrin believes the connection gained him the ride on Beekeeper in the 2002 Melbourne Cup. He placed third with a flawless ride and things started to happen quickly from that point on. In 2004 he gained the prestigious role of number two Godolphin jockey behind Frankie Dettori for the stable's UK and European operation. Kerrin was deeply moved when he rode the second placegetter Rule of Law in the historic English Derby at Epsom. He remembers an all the way win in England's oldest classic race on Rule Of Law. The St Leger was first run in 1776, and is four years older than  the Derby. He speaks with great affection of Shamardal and Dubawi, two of Godolphin's most celebrated horses. He won Gr 1 races on both gallopers. Kerrin speaks of his disappointment when Godolphin's Blues And Royals went amiss after winning the UAE Derby. The colt was programmed to run in the Kentucky Derby but it was not to be.  At this point of the interview, Kerrin talks of wife Cathy's successful riding career. He says Cathy rode regular work at Newmarket after their marriage in 2008. He speaks fondly of his second Melbourne Cup win on Almandin in 2016. He takes us through the running of the race and the great duel he had with Joie Moreira on runner up Heartbreak City. The jockey says he was delighted to win another Gr 1 on the unsound horse 17 months after the Melbourne Cup triumph. Kerrin only had to wait two years for his third Melbourne Cup victory on Cross Counter for Godolphin. He talks of the northern hemisphere three year old's strong staying performance from a wide gate. The much travelled jockey takes us through his three exciting Everest wins -two with Redzel and the third with Classique Legend.  He rates the grey's Everest performance one of the best he's ever been involved with. Kerrin says he's grateful to have added a Golden Slipper win to his big race CV. He takes us back to Sepoy's dominant win in 2011, and further wins on the talented colt. The jockey was chuffed to win the 2008 Caulfield Cup on Godolphin's All the Good. He was most impressed with the stallion's staying performance. Kerrin talks of the likelihood of any of his four children following him into the racing industry. He says he regards himself as having been relatively lucky in racing accidents. Kerrin looks back on the unveiling of his bronze statue in 2022. While extremely grateful, he admits to having  mixed feelings at the time.  This is a laid back chat with one of the most successful jockeys of his generation.

I'm back at Olde Mother Brewing with founder Keith Marcoux to celebrate their 10th anniversary, even if we are technically a couple of months late. Keith was my very first guest on this podcast, and he's been on pretty much every year since, so it's only right that I share some big news with him.In this episode, I officially announce that Uncapped will end next year; I've decided to stop at the 10-year mark this coming October.But don't worry, we didn't get too sappy. We spent plenty of time covering:The "Dummy Tax": The expensive lessons learned over a decade of entrepreneurship.New Ventures: Keith's plans for Charlie Wells Distilling Company, a new distillery and restaurant coming to New Market (featuring sandwiches named after his kids).Throwback Stories: That time they hid the register cash in the microwave because they didn't have a safe.Truck Talk: A very long, unplanned tangent about Keith's love for old trucks versus Chris's new Bronco and the joys of going to the dump. We also discuss the new look for core beers like Hank and Impressionist and reflect on how much the industry, and our lives, have changed since we started.Cheers to 10 years, and let's make this final year count!

A private eye says he was running on pure instinct when he helped apprehend a teen accused of stabbing a shop worker over Pokémon cards in a hobby store in Auckland's Newmarket. A Hamilton 16-year-old will appear in Youth Court. Thomas James says such incidents and lower level crimes are fairly common in the area. He says it was a dangerous situation. "He made a decision when he left the house that morning, or wherever he left, to carry a knife on him. You only carry a knife if you're prepared to use it."

The Tattersalls December Sales shape the global Thoroughbred market - and this year's renewal is one of the most important in recent memory.In this Final Furlong Tattersalls Special, Emmet Kennedy is joined by Tattersalls Associate Director of Marketing, Jason Singh, for a deep, honest, data-driven look at the market: the polarisation, the firepower, the hidden gems and the broodmares who change everything. We begin with the state of the yearling market:• why 2025 was selective but strong,• how the top end stayed fierce,• and why the middle market was deeper than many expected.Jason explains how this will feed directly into this week's breeding stock sales, and why Kentucky's intensity has already shifted buyer behaviour in Newmarket. Then we turn to the Sceptre Sessions, highlighted by:• Porta Fortuna – Cartier Champion 3YO Filly and global blue-chip broodmare prospect,• Tamfana, Barnavara, Choisya, Survie, Tiffany – an elite group rarely assembled in a single catalogue.Jason details what it takes to build a collection of this depth, and how buyers now balance residual value with the upside of producing world-class runners. From there, we dive into value mares — the bargains that became stars:• Sunset Park (60,000 gns → G2 winner),• Sultanina, Sagely, Syndicate, Tidespring, Days of Summer, Zero Gravity, Icky Woo,and how the December Sale continues to produce broodmares capable of producing Royal Ascot winners, Group 1 stars, and international champions. We also tackle the high-end market:• Immortal Verse,• Quiet Reflection,• and the seven-figure mares who shape investor confidence and global trends. Jason breaks down:• what makes a mare a hidden gem,• how data, biomechanics and conformation analytics are shifting valuations,• why smaller breeders should never fear the big stage,• and which categories are currently underrated and ripe for upside. From million-guinea superstars to 9,000gns producers of Group winners — this episode reveals why Tattersalls remains the most influential marketplace in the Thoroughbred world. If you want to understand where the industry is now and where it's going, this conversation is essential listening.
