Is é Tulsk áit bhreithe go leor daoine cáiliúla. Ar a dtugtar ‘áit bhreithe Percy French’ (tá teideal ár bhfeasachán óna shaol scríbhneoireachta go luath) ina chónaí sa pharóiste freisin ag daoine eile nach bhfuil mórán cuimhne orthu, b’fhéidir, ach a rinne marc suntasach ina saol féin. Duine amháin den sórt sin ab ea an tAthair Thomas Lavin, a bhí ina Shagart Paróiste na Tuilscise ó 1920 go dtí a bhás i 1939. Tá a bhás spéisiúil ó Chraobh Shligigh athchló anseo, focal ar fhocal (lena n-áirítear an teideal). San eagrán seo freisin tá sean-thuairisc ar Steach Ráth Cruachan ó 1828. Cé go ndearnadh dearmad iomlán ar an rás bliantúil inniu, bhí sé ar cheann de na rásaí foirmiúla is luaithe sa chontae, agus ba chaibidil thábhachtach é i stair na rásaíochta sa chúige. Tá roinnt seanfhógráin, mionfhógraí, agus nuacht Chumann Staire Tulsk sa chuid eile den eagrán reatha.

Le díograis mhór tugann Cumann Staire Tulsk an chéad eagrán dár bhfeasachán nua chugat. Is ómós é an teideal don iar-chónaitheoir mór sin sa pharóiste: Percy French. D’fhás Percy, mar is eol dúinn go léir, aníos i gCluain Choinn, agus i gceann dá chuid iarrachtaí is luaithe i scríbhinn tháinig sé suas lena nuachtlitir ógánach féin, ar thug sé The Tulsk Morning Howl air.
