Welcome to the June/July issue of About Ballinteer As Etta James sang ‘At Last....’ Yes, at last the summer is here, so a change of pace and maybe a little sunshine? Hope spring eternal! One thing that is for sure, is that school holidays will happen and Summer Camps will be in demand! So, once again this year, we have a fantastic ‘summer camp special’ for you. Camps for young children, right up to teenagers - all run by locals for locals. There is everything on offer from sports activities, arts & crafts to languages. So, don’t delay - book your places! The Summer Camp Special will run across our Dundrum and Rathfarnham issues next month. So, if you missed out, just call us to be included for the July issues. Our Highlighting piece this month is on Ballinteer Community School’s transition year students, who helped mark International Music Day. If you would like to Highlight a local event, cause, group or community activitity, why not get in touch? This page is given over free of charge, thanks to the support of The Coach House Pub in Ballinteer. Last month we Highlighted Carolyn Huey’s ‘Doggy Day Out’ in Marlay Park. By all accounts it was a wonderful success, with thousands raised for the DSPCA (more pg 37). Thank you all for supporting a great cause. On a personal note, this is my last time publishing About Ballinteer. It has been more than 4 years since I put out the first issue (my it has improved!!) and I can honestly say I have enjoyed every minute of it. I have met hundreds of wonderful local people and unearthed local gems through the clubs, activities and groups all active in the area. I also got to know hundreds of local business people, with businesses of every shape and size. I am stepping aside to develop ‘About Magazines’ as a licenced business and hopefully bring more ‘About Magazines’ issues to communities around Dublin and beyond. If you want to know more, just give me a call on 499 3022. Stuart Ferguson will now be at the helm and is your new contact for the magazine. His looking forward to hearing from you. I am sure that you will support Stuart and continue to provide him with your local news, events and advertising in the months ahead.

ABOUT SAVING
Dundrum Credit Union Encourage Youth Saving! Dundrum Credit Union has outlined the critical role played by parents in assisting children to develop a savings habit. Dundrum Credit Union recently ran a ‘Youth Saving Week’, to encourage children in the area, to either encourage to keep on saving, become credit union members and start saving.
If you would like more information email pauline@dundrumcu.ie, call 299 0410 or just pop into them on Main Street, Dundrum, Dublin 14.
Pauline from Dundrum Credit Union said “Given the harsh economic reality facing many Irish families today, there has never been a more important time to focus on providing financial education to our young people. The benefits of teaching children about money early on are both immediate and long term. In the short term, they may develop strong saving Habits, learn how to make smart purchases and learn why they can’t immediately get everything they want. In the long term, we can help them avoid getting into debt. And by teaching, the value of saving for the future, you can put them on the road to financial security”. 8 | ABOUT BALLINTEER

ABOUT LIFE COACHING
Get Movitated This Summer! by Ita Breagy, Alive & Kicking It's that time of year again. The sun is shining and you are looking in your wardrobe for something to wear. All of your good intentions to loose weight and get fit before the Summer have fallen by the wayside. It's the same every year! It's frustrating, annoying and mildly depressing! So what can you do? Well, it's never too late to start. But how do you get motivated? What motivates you? What can you do differently now that you haven't done before. Motivation is the Key! Sit down with a pen and paper and write down a list of things that motivate you. Is it being able to fit into that dress you bought last year? Is it the feel good factor when your jeans fit you perfectly? Is it being able to wear a size smaller that you previously could? Is it being able to walk up the stairs without being out of breath? Is it the wonderful feeling when your muscles are well toned? Is it the lovely light feeling when your tummy is not bloated? Or is it the satisfaction of knowing that you are eating a good healthy diet, exercising regularly and treating your body like a temple?
Ita Breagy
What ever it is that motivates you, make it work to keep you going on your fitness routine or your weight loss routine. If you are having difficulty doing this alone, then perhaps Alive and Kicking can help? We are running some New Morning and Evening Classes commencing June 1st over a 10 week period and we will be dealing with all aspects of what it is that stops you from reaching your target weight or fitness levels. For example: What are your emotional triggers? What makes you crave something sweet or savoury and how can you stop the cravings. What makes you miss your exercise one morning? Each week we will deal with a different topic. If you would like more information on these classes please contact Ita: 087 277 5242 email ita@aliveandkicking.ie or check out www.aliveandkicking.ie 12 | ABOUT BALLINTEER

ABOUT GARDENING
Round the Garden in June by Tom Percy June is a wonderful month, with lots of sunshine, no risk of frost, and plenty of daylight hours to spend in the garden. Prepare Tomatoes being moved from greenhouse to outdoors should be conditioned for a few days. Take them out during the day and put them back at night to avoid the shock of a change in climate. Plants which have finished flowering can be lifted and divided in June. Now is the time to stake carnations and dahlias to encourage upright growth. Mulch around trees and shrubs to conserve moisture.
Prune Continue to thin out carrots, parsnips, beetroot and other such plants. This is also the month to thin out plums and apples, but it’s best to wait until after the trees’ natural shedding before tackling this job. Cut back on untidy growth of bushes and shrubs and remove unsightly seed heads. One thing to bear in mind is that the garden isn’t just about work. It is also a part of the home, a place to use and enjoy. So make sure that you allocate time to do simply nothing, apart from rest in the shade and admire your handiwork.
Plant Purchased and greenhouse raised plants can be planted out this month, but do make sure to water in really well. Sowing should be done in sets to give a succession of fresh salad and vegetables over the coming months. In very dry weather, it is a good idea to thoroughly soak the seed drill prior to sowing.

Marlay Park ‘Doggy Day Out’ - A Barking Success! Congratulations to Caroline Huey, the DSPCA, Volunteers, locals residents and dog lovers who all supported the fantastic Doggy Day out in Marlay Park last month. It was a resounding success! There were literally thousands who turned up and hundreds of dogs who helped their ‘rescued’ canine friends by being there on the day. The sun shone, face were painted (children’s), we had dog grooming, a fortune wheel for humans and dogs and the DSPCA were delighted that they were able to mirco chip hundreds of dogs on the day!
Eight year old Sam McMahon will benefit from the Kings and Queens of Greystones! The sprint distance triathlon takes place on 7th August 2010. Sign up today to take part at www.kingofgreystones.com 34 | ABOUT BALLINTEER

Bytes & Pieces Managing your email As email becomes more and more popular as a method of communicating, sorting the ‘wheat from the chaff’ becomes increasingly difficult. If you are expecting an important mail from a friend or are looking for an older email, it’s often a bit of search amongst all the marketing messages and order confirmations that are also sent to you. The trick is to set yourself up with two email accounts. Choose an easy to remember one for your friends and family to send messages on, and a more unusual address (making you less likely to get spam) for when you sign up to websites, or buy online. For example, you could have one account with your ISP (e.g. yourname@o2.ie) and another with an independent operator such as hotmail or googlemail e.g. yourname@googlemail.com. You can use their own programs to access the mail, or use something like Windows Mail, Windows Live, or Thunderbird (free from Mozilla) to see both accounts in one window but in separate folders.

Highlighting - International Music Day by Mary Kelly, Ballinteer Community School
International Music Day was initiated back in 1975 by Lord Yehudi Menuhin to encourage: •
the promotion of our musical art among all sections of society
•
the application of the UNESCO ideals of peace and friendship between peoples, of the evolution of their cultures, of the exchange of experience and of the mutual appreciation of their aesthetic values
•
the promotion of the activities of Internal Music Council, its international member organizations and national committees, as well as its programme policy in general.
“The transition year students demonstrated the skills they acquired from a series of workshops during the year, in the areas of music literacy, rhythm and pitch skills and their music memory skills using the reknowned 'Kodaly' concept of music education. The group also composed two pieces of music for percussion instruments which are available on CD. “ She went on to say “The school choir demonstrated a typical rehearsal starting with musical 'games' followed by vocal warm ups, breathing exercises and a rehearsal of two choir pieces. As it was an 'Open Rehearsal', the invited guests participated in all the activities. After all their hard work, everyone enjoyed refreshments provided by the school's very active parents' association. “ Congratulations to all involved!
At the time, Lord Menuhin said that he hoped ‘International Music Day’ would become an annual event for the propagation of greater knowledge of our art, arid for the strengthening of the bonds of peace and friendship between peoples through music.’ Thirty five years on and the event is still going strong. Mary Kelly, Music Teacher at Ballinteer Community School, told us how her pupils contributed to the day. According to Mary “Ballinteer Community School played their part, by presenting an open rehearsal with the transition year music workshop group and the school choir.“ 44 | ABOUT BALLINTEER

ABOUT TAROTSCOPES
Tarotscopes by Mags ARIES A little time out enables you to reconcile differences between you and your special loved one. All will work out to a satisfactory conclusion. Crossing the sea is a link in the chain of catalytic events, ultimately and divinely set to get you back on track with your love life. An appearance of super efficiency is vital in the work place at this time. TAURUS Work to the music while you shed pounds for the abundant travel laid out for you. This summer is set to be the most memorable of all. This is why all you set in motion now pays huge dividends later. Signing up for one or more courses now can give you the edge when it comes to business. Unattached? Not for long. True love with an age gap arrives on your doorstep. GEMINI A set of keys which mark your territory is more than just a possibility. Cards advise that you for once set a compromise rather than pay the price of austere stoicism. Make no mistakes; you are the ruler of your own destiny. You can and will succeed, but be compassionate to all concerned. The lovers card brings happiness in the love area. A date may be set?
LIBRA You have had a peculiar few weeks. The signs are there for change. This is so good for you, as the inner you is finally emerging to be the whole, complete mind, body and soul which encompasses peace and harmony in all its beauty. You and a friend finally get to attend the classes on mediumship and spirituality. Yes! Love is very much yours to have and to hold. SCORPIO Keeping your personal stuff yourself ensures no one can give back a distorted version. Your life journey may take you to a not so nice place, but the journey both good and bad is part of the destination. Without this you don’t have a background to base a solid and harmonious future. A second time romance leads to a wedded commitment. SAGITTARIUS You are finally awake and realising your power in the universe. No matter what you look like, loving yourself and being comfortable in your own skin is your right and privilege. You are loved and cherished and you need to allow yourself enjoy the experience. A holiday to a themed location is well featured in this spread. A friendship made now lasts for life.
CANCER The beginning of a wonderful love is set to be your destiny. Saying yes to a wedding invitation may take you across to the west. The book store attracts you towards a spiritual section. You will never again settle for a love that misses out on soul mating. Outdoor pursuits; ie walking, cycling, tennis etc gives you the stamina, not to mention the figure you so crave.
AQUARIUS Given up on love? Not a chance! Love hasn’t given up on you. Five different, though related, celebratory events have your name on the invitations. Just as every action (or attendance) promotes a reaction, your attendance promotes yet another invitation. Ask the universe to fulfil your needs and watch the resulting abundance shower down upon you.
LEO A loved one who has passed on still cares deeply for you and is guiding your every move. A healing time now, both for you and for a different reason, your friend. It is important you be there foe each other. Planning a holiday abroad brings relative cheer. Celebrations around a child abound and a pride in achievement is strongly felt by you and yours. Enjoy!
CAPRICORN A gift of a pet can only bring out the love in you so do accept. You are a deep thinker and as such need to exercise more communication with others. Without a doubt there is a book in you and the sooner you sit at the computer the better. You have much to teach mankind, but first you must consent to being a pupil therefore qualifying you to be the teacher.
VIRGO A re-birth of a love relationship is forecast in this spread, so, if you have of late, been teetering on the edge of sanity regarding your love life, fear not the cards are stacked in your favour, you are calling the shots. You have a big decision to make, one that can change your life and lead you to a total change in lifestyle. You are lucky. You have choices.
PISCES The work you are offered may not be to your taste, but is a temporary relief while you await your true calling. A birth announcement warms the heart of the family. You are such a psychic soul that you should always be extremely aware of karma and put extreme goodness out to the universe, thereby ensuring goodness and abundance showering upon you!
