EDITORIAL
ANDREW FALCONER
Balmullo Primary School is at the heart of our community – both literally and figuratively. The article in last month’s newsletter on the QR Code Safari showed one example of the broad outlook of the teachers and pupils, with specialist help. More examples were evident recently with an Art Exhibition, showing the wide range of artistic talents of pupils of all ages, and an Opera afternoon. My wife and I attended this latter event, along with parents and friends, and were amazed by the performance of the classes who
took part. With just a few days advance preparation in learning the words, and a morning’s tuition by the visiting professionals from Scottish Opera, we were treated to a great performance with songs, costumes and actions. It’s too long since my own Primary School days to remember much detail, but we certainly never had the opportunity to take part in such an enjoyable project, which was so evidently enjoyed by performers and audience alike.
POINTS FROM THE SECRETARY’S EMAIL A copy of Fife Development Plan Scheme from Dec 2013 and lots of information about TAYplan are available on the Community Council shelves at the Post Office. A TAYplan Main Issues Report has been published to stimulate discussion on how to handle issues such as location of jobs, new houses and green networks, how to deal with climate change and other big

BALMULLO S.W.R.I. Our May meeting was a visit to the Tayforth Veterans’ Project, a charity based at a drop-in centre at City Quay in Dundee. The charity was founded by James Reilly and his wife Mary, our Vice-President. As a retired Naval Officer, James can appreciate the difficulties and hardships that can face men or women who have left our Armed Forces, often after many years of distinguished service. The project is dedicated to provide the support and services needed to help ex-service men and women overcome post-conflict issues and assist them to better integrate back into their communities. The drop-in centre was opened in August 2011 and has been designed to be a “welcoming and homely” place, creating a very informal, social and friendly environment where ex -service personnel and their families can feel comfortable, safe and relaxed and better able to discuss the issues affecting their lives. The centre’s services include advice, information and support on Mental Health, Housing,

YOUR M.S.P.
ROD CAMPBELL
As is often the case in the world of politics, events can change very quickly. In this case, not even a month ago I wrote about the imminent announcement regarding future broadband upgrades, being implemented by the Scottish Government in conjunction with BT, and my sincere hope that areas in North East Fife would benefit. One day later the Deputy First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon MSP, confirmed that seven locations in North East Fife would benefit – including Balmullo. From a constituency-wide survey I undertook at the end of last year, I know that improved broadband speeds were of significant importance to a very large number of people. Since my election in 2011 complaints about broadband have been very regular and the news that Balmullo will join Anstruther, Cupar, Leuchars Tayport and Ceres in receiving next generation broadband capability in the near future is excellent news. The upgrades will not take effect immediately, of course. As far as I am aware, some areas that were announced for upgrades in January are now “going live”, with Kirkton of Skene, in Aberdeenshire, the first area to benefit, in April. This £410 Million project is the largest broadband project in Europe and I would therefore be surprised if there was a shorter timescale for Balmullo, and other communities in North East Fife that benefitted from the latest announcement, to “go live”. By the end of 2014, however, I would hope that Balmullo will be capable of receiving a vastly superior broadband service (maximum download speeds will be 80Mbps, depending on the area) than it currently receives and I will continue to seek updates from the Scottish Government in relation to its rollout programme. As superfast broadband arrives, however, we have also now begun the process of officially saying
farewell to the RAF at Leuchars. I attended two RAF events recently, including the final Freedom of St Andrews parade on Saturday 10 May. I was very pleased with the sizeable turnout that greeted the Air Force personnel and it was a very emotional day, for many. RAF Leuchars has set a wonderful example of how to create effective, long lasting community links and the appreciation for the work they have done in the area was clear to see at the parade. I am sure that they will continue this level of work when they relocate to Lossiemouth.
Preparations are now well underway to allow the base to transition from Air Force to Army use from 2015 onwards. In what has been a year of goodbyes so far, with the last Airshow preceding the last parade, it will not be long before the last Typhoon takes off from the runway and the vast majority of Air Force staff close the gates behind them, making way for the Army in due course. I am sure the Army will be made to feel more than welcome to their new home, however, and I am hopeful that fresh links will be made between the community and the incoming regiments.

Any businesses interested in having there logo displayed on our t-shirts and sponsoring one of our attractions please contact Balmullo gala. Or if you would like a banner displayed on the fence we would like to hear from you. All details of all our attractions and other information contact balmullogala@hotmail.co.uk. YOUR FIFE COUNCILLOR I had better start with an apology. For the past month I have been pre-occupied not with Council work, but moving house. Blame the family. They said I should downsize, "don't want you rattling around in that big house" they said, then more to the point "how are you going to cope with the stairs when you get older?" indicating they thought that such a mobility problem was either imminent or that their mother could not cope with the control box of a stair lift. They may well have a point here as they know how their mother copes with the technological equipment which she has! And so it came to pass that a 'for sale' sign appeared outside my door and in due course I came used to showing potential buyers around my home. I had been told all the tricks of such an operation.....having a pot of strong coffee percolating away and putting a large piece of furniture over the worn patch in the living room carpet! I called them all potential buyers but one or two were merely inquisitive or their hobby seemed to be 'house visiting'. After several false promises someone came along and duly bought my house. I had been determined not to fall into the trap of buying my new home before the old one was sold, subsequently I missed out on two small houses which fitted the bill exactly. Everyone says "they were obviously not meant for me"......statements like that do not help the sadness/annoyance I feel!
MAGGIE TAYLOR Anyway, here I am, sold my house of thirty four years....most of my furniture in storage as my family would much rather shop at IKEA than have pieces like my w o n d e r f u l Victorian mirrored backed sideboard. An e x t r e m e ly emotional exercise throwing out things like engagement cards from nearly fifty years ago! Still not seen the house that is meant for me, so sitting in a rented flat overlooking the Harbour in Tayport, trying to convince myself that when the house that is meant does come along the move won't be as big or as emotional. Hopefully Councillor services will resume as soon as possible.....this depends on BT reconnecting the land line and installing Broadband, all takes time they say. In the meantime, if you need me I can be contacted on 078 7242 3841.

RECOMMENDATION
MIKE WITHERS
I wanted to praise one of advertisers, “2 Wheel Care” (page 23) for an excellent, fast and great value repair on my son’s bike. I can highly recommend their work, and I will definitely use them again.
LEUCHARS AND DISTRICT GARDENING AND CRAFTS CLUB I once watched a documentary programme about an agricultural show at the end of which the Secretary was asked if she was happy with the show and when did they start organising next year's show. Her answer was yes and tomorrow! I could empathize with her as the work of the committee is continuous. By the time this is being read we will have had our coffee morning which is the last of this year's winter programme and already we have decided on next winter's programme and by next month's newsletter we expect to have agreement with all the speakers and be able to publish it. We've already had agreement from Andy Smith to return in December with his Floral Art Display which is always looked on as the highlight of the programme. We also had a good response to our request for suggestions some of which will be included this winter and others in the future. Thanks to all who responded. The schedule for this year's shows is now available and has been sent out to our usual exhibitors and if

anyone is interested in giving showing a try contact me or any of the committee, we will all be pleased to give all the help we can. On a personal note if you pass my garden you will see the sweetpeas are all planted out and I'm quite happy with them. The first of the gladioli have been planted and the second half will be planted next week and hopefully they don't catch up with the first and I have a progression of flowers. I've had good germination of carrots, parsnips, and beetroot which are grown in barrels which is just a style of growing in tubs. The peat has been prepared for the potatoes which are grown in poly bags again similar to growing in tubs. I am presently sowing peas and cauliflower in the greenhouse to be planted out when they are big enough. All of this is relatively straightforward and if anyone is interested in growing veg. in tubs or containers pop in and see me I'm usually in the garden and glad of an excuse to have a break and a chat.

YOUR M.P. "As I write preparations for the Glasgow Commonwealth Games are well underway. I was born and raised in Glasgow and I have no doubt that the Games organisers and the city’s inhabitants will ensure that this summer’s Games will be one of the best ever. There is a great deal of excitement all round Scotland at the prospect of Glasgow hosting the event. There were over two million requests for the one million tickets available and some events are massively oversubscribed. Of course there will always be enthusiasm for any contest which pitches Scotland’s finest against England’s best – I have sat through enough rugby matches at Murrayfield to testify to that! But the level of anticipation ahead of the Commonwealth Games can also be put down to our experience of the 2012 London Olympic and Paralympic Games. The London Games were a huge success, delivered on time and under budget. They could not compete with the billions of pounds lavished on the likes of the Beijing Olympics, or more recently by Russia at Sochi, but they showcased the best of Britain. It helped of course that Team GB did better than even the most optimistic sports fan could have hoped for! But while we all cheered the likes of Mo Farah, Sarah Storey, Jessica Ennis and Katherine Grainger for the medals they won for the UK, there was also a generosity of spirit which saw the achievements of athletes from other countries similarly celebrated. Few will forget the heart-stopping excitement of the mens 100 meters and Usain Bolt’s astonishing victory, or the grace of David Rudisha in winning the 800m in a new world record in a race which he led from start to finish. People now look forward to the Commonwealth Games with the expectation that we will see history once again made on the track and in the arena in Glasgow. Who knows what sporting stars will emerge from these Games? The 'Home Team' often does much better than expected as happened in the 1970 Games in Edinburgh. Let us hope for a repeat performance.
Balmullo Bowling Club Play outdoors in summer Indoors in winter
SIR MENZIES CAMPBELL
What isn’t in doubt is that this summer’s Commonwealth Games will be very different to the ones I attended in 1966 in Kingston, Jamaica. I prepared for those Games on a cinder track at Westerlands in Glasgow. There was no such thing as all weather surfaces in those days. My coveted blazer came with sleeves so short it was unwearable until my redoubtable Grandmother a brilliant seamstress - worked a miracle on it. The conditions for the athletes at the Games were rather spartan in a university hall of residence which had no hot water system! The Glasgow Herald reported that the 100 yards (as it was then) was held in an almost deserted stadium. Not much chance of that happening at Hampden! I am afraid Scotland was easily beaten in the medal haul by England. Let’s hope this year’s Games is again very different from 1966 in that respect! I have been very lucky to have had a career that has encompassed both sport and politics. If anything, it has taught me that they’re best kept as separate as possible. Despite everything else going on in Scotland over the coming year I hope that the Commonwealth Games will give all of us an opportunity to draw together as a country, and also as part of a close commonwealth of nations, and celebrate one of the very best of our sporting traditions."

We hope you enjoy looking at the photographs of our Balmullo pupils in this month’s edition. The whole school was involved in a recent art exhibition which showcased our pupils artistic talents. We were also visited by Scottish Opera who worked with our P5, P6 and P7 pupils to create an ‘opera in a day’. The experience was hugely enjoyable and the children once again showed us what a talented group they are. It was lovely to see so many of our parents and members of the community at the performance.

BLACKBIRD & RING OUSEL
ANDREW FALCONER
The Christmas 2013 and March 2014 issues described the winter visitors Redwing and Fieldfare and two resident British thrushes, the Song Thrush and Mistle Thrush. The last 2 members of the Thrush family seen regularly in Britain are the Blackbird and Ring Ousel. The Blackbird (Turdus merula) is one of the most common birds in Britain. The photo shows an adult male bird, distinguished by the allblack plumage and yellow bill. A juvenile male has a dark bill and female birds are actually dark brown with a streaked breast. Many pairs breed around Balmullo and at this time of year, the male birds are often seen sitting on roofs or other vantage points singing loudly with their well-known mellow and melodic song.
The Ring Ousel (Turdus torquatus) is often called the Mountain Blackbird because it is similar in size and general look, but breeds in mountainous areas usually with boulders or scree slopes. The obvious difference from a Blackbird is the large white crescent across its breast, most obvious in males but also present but duller in females. It is a summer visitor and can be seen in most of the upland areas of the Highlands and Borders. The song is similar to a Blackbird but higher-pitched and less melodic.
