Editor’s Note Starting in September

For most kids the start of a new school years brings excitement and anticipation but some are frustrated when they enter a classroom- the kids who are confident and competent on weekends and holidays begin to withdraw.

These are the children who try to scrunch down in their seats, hoping to be invisible. They hold tightly to the belief that “if I can’t see the teacher, the teacher can’t see me.” They make excuses and messes - but seldom eye contact.

School is a challenge for them, but also for their parents and teachers. When it comes to teaching one size simply does not fit all but time and resources are limited. One key toward change is using encouragement and reward rather than criticism and punishment - to bolster their belief in themselves.

September marks a new year with new possibilities. Let them start over. For some kids, this may be the greatest gift you will give them all year.

Recreation scheme grants welcomed Senator James Reilly has welcomed the announcement of grants for the Martello Tower Skerries, Ardgillan Castle, Martello Tower Howth and a cycling safety promotion grant under strand 1 of the Rural Infrastructure Grants. He has called for increased development of routes and facilities in the council area to further promote activity-based tourism.

“Fingal has great potential, for a Coast and Castleway cycling and walking route and it will take sustained determined effort to make that a reality,” he says.

“Fingal Co. Council have already completed the necessary work for the Balbriggan to Barnageeragh Skerries Route and can now focus on the final leg of that route and come up with a comprehensive plan to link Skerries to Ardgillan Castle along the Balbriggan Coastal road and onward then to Balbriggan.

“I note progress has been made on the Malahide to Donabate cycling and walking greenway across the estuary via the train tracks and that a planning application to Bord Pleanala is imminent.

“I welcome the progress on linking up Newbridge Demesne and Malahide Castle .

“Finally I would also support Fingal Co Council in drawing up a feasibility study to link Skerries, Loughshinny, Rush and Lusk to Donabate, completing the link all the way to Malahide and providing a super greenway from Balbriggan to Malahide and onward into Dublin.

Altan Coming Home

H S A L F NEWS

One of Ireland’s best known traditional music bands, Altan, is celebrating 30 years on the road this year. One of the most keenly anticipated gigs takes the band to Malahide, where their story began, on Wednesday, October 18.

In the mid 80s, Mairéad Ní Mhaonaigh and the late Frankie Kennedy were both teaching in St. Oliver Plunkett School in the village. Both accomplished musicians, they had already released two albums which were met with critical acclaim.

Frankie felt that the next step would be to put together a band, and enlisted Mark Kelly on guitar, Ciaran Curran on bouzouki and fiddler Paul O’Shaughnessy.

At the time the Malahide festival was in full swing and the band’s first gig in front of a substantial crowd was as support to Moving Hearts in the Festival Marquee.

From then on the band went from strength to strength and now tour all over the world.

The Malahide concert, in the Grand Hotel, is hosted by Malahide Lions Club in aid of the RNLI and Hugh’s House, a venture that offers free accommodation to parents of children who are long term patients in Temple St and the Rotunda Hospitals.

Tickets (€30) are available from Stephen086-0612984, Mary 087-2479744 and Sheilagh 086-1737315.

Sea Scouts up to their necks in Summer High Adventure

Malahide Sea Scouts are in the middle of a superbly high octane adventurous summer both in Malahide and on their Annual Camps around the Country.

This is the first year that the Scout Group has had four Scout Troops and all four will have had an Annual Camp. First to go away was Neala Troop who took their Boats to the River Shannon and Rowed and Paddled their way up stream, camping on the Banks of the River until they eventually arrived in Lough Key Forrest Park where they stayed for the last four nights of their expedition camp and took part in various adventurous activities including a high wire course The newcomers to the Group the “Lir” Scout

Troop went to Mount Mellary in Waterford where they participated in “Camp 5” a National Patrol Jamborette with about six hundred other Scouts from all around the Country. Here they camped in patrols and participated in a range of traditional scout Activities from Pioneering and Hillwalking to backwoods and the usual assault courses that make Summer Camp the adventure that it is.

The Wednesday Troop camped on the shores of Lough Sheelin in Co. Cavan near the village of Mount Nugent. Much of their time was spent on traditional Scout activities pioneering, bivouacking and hiking including night hikes as well as boating on the Lake.

The Friday Troop will shortly be away to

“Crom Estate” in Co. Fermanagh and they again will have a traditional Scout Camp with boating activities on site.

This years annual camps may seem low key in comparison to recent years but the next two years will see change in emphasis with the international Irish Scout Jamborí taking place in Stradbally next year and in 2019 the Scout Group will celebrate its centenary when a large number of Scouts are expected to participate in the World Scout Jamboree in Virginia USA where some forty thousand Scouts from around the world will gather. Lir Troop Skipper Stephanie Mc Cann will be joint Irish Contingent Leader of this expedition.

‘Pesto’nishing Pasta Method

“Back to school and back to routine makes this an optimal time of year for getting into good habits from the get go! A lot of eating healthy comes from good food prep such as meal planning, shopping lists, batch cooking and making use of leftovers.

This pasta recipe below is quick and easy to throw together and is boasting full of energy and colour to help fuel the body back into school, work and whatever other life demands after the summer break. Make a batch for an evening meal and use up leftovers for lunch the following day. 2 meals done in 1.

Pop by to my Biabites cooking demos in October at the Balbriggan Food Festival” Method: 1. Cook the pasta.

2. Gently heat the onion and garlic in a pan with a tablespoon of pesto. Turn up the heat and add chopped chicken. Add another tablespoon of pesto and stir occasionally until chicken is cooked.

3. Add in tomatoes and chorizo and take off the heat.

4. Add in remaining pesto, cooked pasta, spinach and feta cheese and stir well to mix altogether.

To make the pesto; blitz the basil leaves and pine nuts in a powerful blender/food processor. Then add the garlic and parmesan and blitz more. Slowly add the olive oil bit by bit while still gently blitzing in order to help it blend in. Scrape down the sides of the blender throughout the blitzing to ensure all ingredients mix thoroughly.

Enjoy and see you in October!!
