Celebrating the win with an award presentation by Colonel Paul Shepherd are, from left, members of ‘Champion Unit’: Cadet Colour Sergeant Ryan McAslan; Cadet Sergeant Rebecca Harrison; Cadet Sergeant Cameron Moore and Cadet Sergeant Craig Kennedy, all form North Down.

NORTH DOWN CADETS ARE SHOOTING STARS AT BALLYKINLER The annual Cadet Rifle Meeting at Ballykinler this month brought together some of the top teenage shooting talents in Northern Ireland to battle for sporting honours. Taking home the silverware after the hard fought competition was the team from North Down.

Congratulating the team from North Down, Colonel Johnny Rollins, Chief Executive of the Reserve Forces & Cadets Association Northern Ireland, said, “Traditionally rifle shooting is one of the most popular of all our Cadet activities, and the fact that so many take part in

this demanding sport means that standards are high and competition is always intense.

That was well illustrated at the Cadet Rifle Meeting, when the North Down teenagers turned in some fantastic performances.

“Sporting challenges such as this are a great way to help young

people not only to build skills, but also to enhance their personal confidence and forge new friendships. They also act as a ‘digital de-tox’, giving teenagers a healthful and fulfilling break from computers and games consoles – something which most parents will welcome!”

First ‘Guided Consumers’ Badges Awarded To Local Guides

The Minister for the Economy Simon Hamilton MLA, has awarded the first ‘Guided Consumer’ badges to 7th Bangor Unit of Girlguiding Ulster.

The ‘Guided Consumer’ badge has been developed in partnership between the Consumer Council and Girlguiding Ulster, to help raise awareness of consumer rights amongst young people. One of the first Guides to receive her badge from the Minister, 12-year old Martha Gooding from Bangor said: “I had a great time learning about consumer rights; it was fun, fascinating and energetic. It is so good to learn about shopping safely online and the 24 hour rule of thinking before you buy.” 11-year old Natalie Gough, added: “I enjoyed being part of the pilot for Guided Consumer; it was such good fun playing the games. I really loved the 24 hour rule: think before you buy, shopping safely online and learning about the padlock symbol and to read customer reviews before you buy online.”

Holywood Author Launches New Book

William Long, the author of the popular sci-fi/fantasy series The Timecrack Adventures, has published a new book on how he came to write his stories.

William Long, the author of the popular sci-fi/fantasy series The Timecrack Adventures, has published a new book on how he came to write his stories.

How I Wrote My First Book – ‘10 Tips On Writing Your First Book’ is the result of the many questions put to the author on how he came to the task of writing books so late in life.

The author’s answers may well help inspire budding writers to put pen to paper and create their own work. As he says: ‘Regardless of age, it’s never too late to tell your story. It may not turn out to be a bestseller, but there is a deep satisfaction in seeing it in print.’

Some early reviews

‘I will certainly keep it handy as I’ve had

the germ of a story planted in my brain for a few years...’

M. McCullough , Daily Mirror ‘I found 10 Tips clear, concise and readable.

As a “How To” book it seems to touch all bases...’

J.Parry, Poet ‘ William Long’s guidance is sound and practical advice for aspiring writers...’

M Neill Editor/ Journalist ‘ Very useful advice and sources that will help first time authors...’

Silent Night A play which focuses on two local families and their respective contributions to World War I is to be staged in Holywood around Armistice Day as part of North Down’s Remember and Reflect programme of remembrance.

N t

he venue is Holywood’s Church of Ireland parish church, where the central characters worshipped and are publicly remembered.

Silent Night by writer and broadcaster Padraig Coyle, a long-time resident of the town, is a fictional recreation of how two brothers - Leopold and Waldemar Heininger - fought on opposite sides during the Great War. In the storyline, they are sent into active service on the Western Front, where, by chance, they encounter Colonel Henry McCammon, a troubled commanding officer with whom they have a strong, long-standing family connection. The play will be performed by a cast mainly drawn from Helen’s Bay, Holywood and Bangor Abbey Players. It will be directed

by Kevin Quinn, a veteran of Helen’s Bay Players productions.

The role of Colonel McCammon will be played by former Ulster Television presenter Gary Gillespie. Rosemary Jayne Brangam plays Eva while Jamie

CAST IN ORDER OF APPEARANCE

McCammon - GARY GILLESPIE Eva – ROSEMARY JAYNE BRANGAM Waldemar - MATTHEW JEFFREY Lottie - CAROLINE HALL Leopold - JAMIE EVANS Higgins - MATTHEW CASSIDY Farkas - KEVIN McVEIGH

Evans and Caroline Hall portray Leopold and Lottie, her son and daughter-in-law. Two young Belfast actors Matthew Jeffrey (Waldemar) and Matthew Cassidy (Private Higgins) are recent graduates of the Lyric Drama Studio. South African actor Kevin McVeigh plays the role of Sergeant Farkas.

The names Heininger and McCammon are familiar to the people of Holywood. Coyle spotted them on remembrance plaques set into the brick interior walls of the parish church and was intrigued by the dramatic possibilities they presented.

“I am delighted that the play will be performed in this beautiful church, in the presence of the remembrance plaques honouring these well-known local families,” says Coyle. “I was visiting the church one day

when I saw on the walls the names Thomas Valentine Plaisted McCammon and Waldemar Heininger. I was struck by the poetry in the names and started digging into the family histories. I discovered that there was a second Heininger son, Leopold, and I imagined the possibility that the two brothers, whose mother was from East Belfast and whose father was German, might have fought against each other. In the course of further research, I discovered that this was, indeed, the case. A fine example of fact being stranger than fiction.

The action unfolds between Holywood, Germany and northern France, where two companies of British and German soldiers are billeted only yards apart in a derelict farm in the middle of nowhere,”

WIREFOX TURNS TO T R A D I T I O N T O C E L E B R AT E CONSTRUCTION MILESTONE FOR NEW H O LY W O O D O F F I C E

BUSINESS

Leading property firm hosts topping out ceremony to mark £1.5m investment in former derelict site.

RR

eviving a popular industry tradition rarely witnessed in Northern Ireland in recent years, the firm hosted a topping out ceremony as the final beam was placed atop the new 7,500 sq ft building in the town’s Downshire Road. Following planning approval being granted in March this year, construction work began in June and is expected to be completed in December. The work is being carried out by Roskyle.

Upon completion, the 20-strong Wirefox team, which has assets across the UK and Ireland, will move into the new facility from its current base at 10 High Street.

Emma Murtagh is the Wirefox architect who led the design and build project. Speaking at the topping out ceremony, she said: “We are a modern property investment and development firm with traditional values. The topping out ceremony, an event which is held at construction projects throughout the world, helps recognize the hard work in planning and design, as well as the efforts of the Roskyle team.

“This design acts as a showcase for Wirefox’s provision of top quality architecture alongside innovative interior and urban design, and is a further symbol

of the firm’s ongoing business growth. With a roof-top patio area and conference room as well as high-specification open plan office space and meeting rooms, the building will provide a spacious new accommodation for staff which will further enhance creativity. The project also provides a major boost to the Holywood landscape and community, which Wirefox has been a part of for the last two years, with the investment a sign of our continuing commitment to helping grow the local economy. The building was the only derelict site available in the town for commercial development and local traders will benefit from our presence.”

In keeping with tradition, attendees

at the event celebrated the construction milestone with a glass of ale. Speaking at the event, Steven Rossetto from Roskyle said: “Roskyle is delighted to be working in partnership with Wirefox on such an exciting and innovative design and build project. Construction work is continuing apace and on schedule, and we look forward to seeing the Wirefox team take up residence upon completion.”

Just last week, Wirefox announced an extension of its Scottish portfolio with the acquisition of a major retail-led asset in Dumfries town centre. This follows the recent purchases in Belfast city centre of Longbridge House and Oxford and Gloucester House.

But surely that can’t work with vintage you say?

SURE IT CAN. In our new store in the Belfast Harbour Estate, we have oodles of space to collate and categorize our salvage finds.

We have been storing away all sorts of amazing old wood panelling and floorboards; doors & frames; varieties of beaten up or worn metal… all kinds of fodder for making wonderful upcycled and

restyled industrial style furniture.

Finding that ‘perfect’ kitchen table that fits your style and space can be an endeavour you just don’t have time for, especially if you love the reclaimed look. In fact getting an old, vintage anything that has to fit specific measurements really can be like looking for a needle in a haystack.

The next best thing? Create it yourself! Or get us doing the making and you help with the creating. Either way, using reclaimed materials can be a fabulous way to get the sizes you need without sacrificing the look you want.

Y O G A & M E D I TAT I O N I N H O LY W O O D Local Yoga Teacher Alison Roberts, after 12 years of teaching in the Community, has just fulfilled her dream of having a dedicated space for yoga tuition in her home town of Holywood. The Yoga Room Holywood is an oasis of calm high above Holywood High Street suitable for 1-2-1 and Small Group Tuition

W

hen I ask someone first attending a yoga session what their expectations are it is frequently increased flexibility and fitness and then after a short hesitant pause an almost wistful hope of increased “wellbeing” - a vague term perhaps but something that they seem to instinctively feel yoga can deliver and yet are unsure how. We are all familiar with the images of young, slim yoga practitioners in weird contortions. The media love those pictures, and it’s what people have come to associate with Yoga however Yoga practice has very little to do with physical “posturing” which is superficial and impermanent (we all get old) and more to do with our internal health and wellbeing which is much more important and enduring.

An holistic practice (the term

yoga, means to “yoke” or join), from the very first session mind and body are of equal importance, given equal emphasis and the entire personality is taken into account.

All Yoga practices lead to meditation, which is a state of being, if the mind wanders or is not engaged in the practice then we are no longer practising yoga but exercising and therefore we lose the holistic benefits. We will still notice benefits - exercise is good for us, but it is not Yoga.

General yoga classes are geared for the majority of people but cannot deliver the optimal practice for each individual attendee. The beauty of 1-2-1 or very small group tuition with an experienced yoga teacher is that in a short number of sessions a personalized practice is developed and progressed

to suit the individual personality and their life circumstances. We all know that life is full of ups and downs and our nervous system, sympathetic (arousal, stress) and parasympathetic (rest, recovery) adjust to allow us to deal effectively with these highs and lows and then bring us back to a state of equilibrium.

However the pace of modern life means that our nervous system is over stimulated, we are on too high an alert and then we plummet towards exhaustion and depression.

The state of equilibrium and recovery is missed having huge repercussions on our general health and wellbeing leading to chronic illnesses and syndroms.

Regular, appropriate yoga practice has been proven to help bring the nervous system back to a more balanced and harmonised state.

LIAM BURN S | M P S | BU RN S PHA R M ACY

Come To Pharmacy First FO R A DV I C E A ND T RE ATM EN T FO R CO M M O N WIN T ER A I L MENTS Burns Pharmacy in Holywood is getting involved in this year’s Ask Your Pharmacist Week (7 -14th November) by encouraging people to ‘come to pharmacy first’ for advice and treatment for common winter ailments.

HEALTH

AS MANY AS 60 MILLION VISITS TO GPS AND A&E COULD BE AVOIDED EACH YEAR IF MORE PEOPLE CHOSE INSTEAD TO SELF CARE WITH THE HELP OF LOCAL PHARMACIES, ACCORDING TO THE NATIONAL PHARMACY ASSOCIATION.

LIAM BURNS SAID...

“Lots of people go to their doctor for cough and cold treatments unnecessarily – your local pharmacy team can help you treat most conditions conveniently and effectively.

Pharmacists are trained to know when to refer on to another healthcare professional, such as your GP, so you should feel confident to make community pharmacy your first port of call for common ailments.”

YOUR LOCAL PHARMACY TEAM CAN: • GIVE TIPS ABOUT REDUCING YOUR RISK OF CATCHING COLDS, FLU AND OTHER COMMON AILMENTS • ADVISE ON WHAT MEDICINES TO STOCK AT HOME, SO THAT YOU CAN RESPOND QUICKLY TO THE ONSET OF ANY WINTER AILMENTS • SUPPLY TREATMENTS FOR THE SYMPTOMS OF COLDS AND FLU AND MANY OTHER COMMON AILMENTS • HELP PEOPLE TO QUIT SMOKING. SMOKING TENDS TO INCREASE THE SEVERITY OF WINTER AILMENTS LIKE COUGHS AND COLDS. • ADVISE ON WHEN IT’S THE RIGHT CHOICE TO VISIT YOUR GP OR OTHER HEALTHCARE PROVIDER. YOUR DOCTOR APPOINTMENT MIGHT BE UNNECESSARY IF IT IS ABOUT SELF-LIMITING ILLNESSES LIKE SORE THROAT OR EARACHE.
