Editor’s Note

Our Team Local News

August has a tendency to fly by, particularly where children are concerned. School bells will soon be ringing so it is time to shift into high gear to get kids ready.

It’s time to consider turning off the television and limiting computer time - soon enough it will be time for homework so it makes sense to put some order on the evenings.

Ditto for bedtime! Kids are often too busy playing to recognize that they are tired. Putting them to bed earlier may not make you the most popular parent, but their growing bodies will thank you, especially with the earlier wake up time!

Wake your kids up at what will be their regular morning wake-up time for school. And put away the sugary cereals and make a healthy breakfast part of your daily habit.

Buying school supplies like backpacks, binders, and pencil cases holds a certain magic for getting kids excited about hearing the school bell ring again.

Start eating lunch at the same time as the school does. You can easily help your child’s stomach get on a schedule so that little bellies don’t grumble while they are in a classroom. You want them focused on learning, not on their hunger.

Going where no-one has gone before!

There are very few places left on this planet where no-one has ever set foot.

The Northern Pole of Inaccessibility is one of these places and Dublin man John Lynders is aiming to travel to the region next year.

The Northern Pole of Inaccessibility is 200

miles further north then the North Pole, and it has never been reached by explorers.

John, and 27 other volunteers, will undertake the 800 mile journey next year where they hope to collect vital data which will be very important to those studying global warming.

Along the route team members will be gathering “crucial datasets” for the scientific community including new and vital data about how the sea ice breaks up, making the whole endeavour a major, globally significant, citizen science project. Partners include NASA, the US National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) scientists, The Met Office, The Scott Polar Institute, The Norwegian Polar Institute and the Russian Arctic and Antarctic Research Institute and others. This vital data will deliver the reality of climate change and make the whole expedition worthwhile and purposeful.

John has been selected for the Ice Warrior Lastpole Expedition and will be undergoing a comprehensive and intensive training programme to take on at least one of four 20-day legs, pushing the route across the Arctic Ocean by approximately 200 miles. “I will be man-hauling a 60kg sled with all food supplies, fuel and equipment all the while keeping away from polar bears,” he says.

The exploration is being led by explorer Jim McNeill, who has tried but failed, to reach the location before by himself.

John needs to raise €25,000 and has set up a fundraising page at www.johnlynders.com where people can donate to help get this mental health nurse where no man has ever gone before.

Lions Stamp of approval

The founding of Lions Clubs International, one hundred years ago, is celebrated on An Post’s new international postage stamp. The €1.35 stamp which covers standard letter postage anywhere in the world, was designed by Dublin company Red Dog and features a photograph from the annual Lions Holiday Project in 2016.

The Lions Club is the world’s largest voluntary service organisation with a presence in over 200 countries and more than 1.4 million volunteers worldwide. There are 2,700 members in 116 clubs across the island of Ireland, north and south.

With their motto ‘We Serve’, they organise

projects to help vulnerable and elderly people within their communities, and they undertake humanitarian work such as aiding street children, providing diabetic screening and preventing suicide and blindness.

Paul Allen, District Governor of Lions Clubs International in Ireland, expressed his appreciation that the Lions Clubs work in serving their communities has been recognised

by An Post with this special international stamp, reflecting the global reach of Lions Clubs International: ‘It is a great honour to have a Lions Clubs stamp issued to mark the centenary of our organisation. In the 60 years that Lions have operated in Ireland, our membership has grown, based on serving the needs of local communities.

Lions Clubs in Ireland are also well known for their commitment to the prevention of blindness through Diabetes Screening, for our Annual Food Appeal at Christmas and for hundreds of community service projects at national and local levels’.

The stamp and special First Day Cover envelope may be purchased at main post offices, at Dublin’s GPO stamp shop and online at irishstamps.ie

Feature

Photography tips by local photographer Constanze O’Toole and dSLRs have a selectable macro mode (flower icon), that allows you take close ups.

2. Master the technical challenges of macro photography: In macro ranges you have to work with a very narrow depth of field (the part of the scene that is in focus). Use manual focus to prove sharpness and focus on the important elements of your subject such as the eyes of the insects.

3. Blur the background to draw attention to your subject The narrow depth of field will help to blur the background and you can create wonderful colour compositions. If you have to work with a very short lens, create a greater distance between your subject and background objects.

August is a wonderful summer month to explore the natural environment around you using macro photography. By increasing the size of an object in your picture to about five times life-size you can investigate the strangeness of insects, the complexity of flowers and discover the beauty of the micro world. Just step into your garden or visit

4. Take advantage of natural lighting: Natural lighting in macro photography tends to look nicer.

Move around your subject to create different natural lighting options. You can also add a reflector to introduce more light if necessary.

any of Fingal’s outdoor attractions.

My 5 top tips: 1. Put your camera in macro mode: You don’t need to buy an expensive macro lens to get started with macro photography. Most modern digicams

5. Be patient and don’t chase the insects: You can start with stationary subjects such as flowers and with practice move on to insects. Observe the behaviour of the insects, find the right time of day and your moment will come.

Group and Fingal Tourism got together to create family entertainment. The best part was the kids area with big inflatable bouncy castles, my kids had a ball. We treated the family to donuts and coffee from one of the many vendors dotted around the place. To keep the children entertained there was an arts and crafts table and also face painting which went down a treat. Just

beyond the inflatable area was the Supermilk Wild Air run.

For those of you interested in cars and tractors, the Flavours had Vintage cars and many tractors on show. There was an agricultural display of livestock and many equestrian shows and competitions.

In the courtyard area, a stage was set up and Cobbe’s café were busy serving teas and coffees to customers. As the family strolled around the walled gardens it was great to see the many stalls selling their arts and crafts. In order to cool down on a hot summer’s day, a craft beer village were selling their selection of beers. The whole weekend combined the sights and sounds of a traditional show with a fantastic family and food experience. Woolly Wards petting farm arrived to the delight of the children in the big village barn and everyone loved the sheep dog trials as well as the magic shows and living history displays.

Within the walled gardens celebrity chefs got to work with cookery demonstrations.

Just beyond the House there was a Great War Society World War display and real live Viking re-enactments as well as jousting and Falconry displays. A World War hospital and soldiers and tanks were on display, I even got to hold a war pistol.

With so much to do and see, the Flavours of Fingal was a great weekend for all the family.

New law protects life-saving gear

Councillor Darragh Butler

Contact us: communitylocals@gmail.com

Local Councillor Darragh Butler has welcomed new legislation that will bring in tough penalties for anyone who steals or damage life-saving equipment such as defibrillators and lifebuoys.

The Life Saving Equipment Bill 2017 imposes strict new penalties, including a fine of up to €50,000 and a jail term of up to 5 years for anyone convicted of interfering with life-saving equipment.

Senator Dr. Keith Swanick, sponsor of the bill, noted that “research from the Irish Heart Foundation reveals that around 13 people die every day from cardiac arrest.

Defibrillators are vital in improving survival rates and we must ensure that these devices are protected against vandals.

“Similarly, a number of County Councils have reported problems with life rings and lifebuoys going missing at lakes, rivers and beaches. Lives are being unnecessarily lost as a result of people stealing or interfering with these essential pieces of life-saving equipment.”

Cllr. Butler added that “we need to do all that we can to ensure that life saving equipment such as defibrillators and lifebuoys are respected and protected and that those to steal, damage or vandalise such equipment get severely punished with very strict penalties. Zero-tolerance is the correct approach to vandalism theft, especially in this regard and I really hope to see this legislation progress and be implemented.

Ingredients • 600g Meat of your choice cut into pieces such as: chicken, beef, pork or tofu • Vegetables of your choice such as: Red onion, peppers, courgette, mushrooms • 1 tin coconut milk • 4 tablespoons smooth peanut butter • 2 tablespoons curry paste • Juice of 1 lime • 1 tablespoon honey • 1 tablespoon soy sauce • 5 cloves garlic, peeled and chopped finely • About 5cm ginger, peeled and chopped finely • Small wooden skewers Tip: use whole coconut milk as the light versions mainly consist of water and won’t give the nice creamy, smooth consistency for the Satay sauce!

Sizzling Satay!!

Method

“The smell of BBQ in the air just tastes of Summer but if you haven’t managed to see much of the BBQ so far, maybe this recipe will inspire you to heat up the grill before the weather starts to chill!!

This dish is relatively easy and definitely one that the whole family could take pride in! You will probably have most of these ingredients and you will be able to use them up in so many other recipes.

For sports nutrition, secondary school, primary school and preschool workshops and talks in community groups and workplaces, please see: www.biabites.net And follow: www.facebook.com/BiaBites https://twitter.com/BiaBites Method: 1. Mix the ginger, garlic, curry paste, peanut butter, soy sauce, honey and lime juice together.

2. Stir coconut milk into the mixture bit by bit and mix well to create a creamy smooth consistency.

3. Add the meat/tofu and chopped vegetables to 2/3 of the satay mix. Keep the other 1/3 of the satay as a dipping sauce!

4.Leave the mixture to marinate for up to 3 hours in the fridge.

5. Thread the meat/tofu and vegetables onto the skewers.

6. Grill the skewers for approximately 15 minutes, turning occasionally. Dip into the sauce saved from earlier.

7. Heat any leftover mixture on a pan until the meat and veg is cooked and serve with rice, noodles or oriental salad.
