Community Straitéis Mhaoinithe Bord Iascaigh Mhara | BIM Funding Strategy Faoi láthair tá straitéis dá ullmhú le haghaidh ceantracha ar feadh chósta Mhaigh Eo agus Sligeach chun tosaíochtaí i dtaobh maoiniú a aimsiú sa ceantracha seo. Beidh sé cosúil le straitéis LEADER ach go mbeidh béim speisialta ar na pobail iascaireachta agus ar imeachtaí a fhorbraíonn agus a dhéanann ceiliúradh ar acmhainní mara. Clúdaíonn an straitéis reatha an tréimhse 2013-2015 amháin agus níl ach buiséad teoranta le fáil don réigiún. Táthar ag siúl, áfach, go mbeidh buiséad agus tacaíocht níos substaintiúla le fáil sna cláranna maoinithe amach anseo. Beidh sé tabhachtach luach an chláir reatha a thaispeáint, agus a bheith inann a chruthú go gcuidíonn sé le pobail iascaireachta ach go háirithe, agus go gcuireann sé le luach chláranna eile cosúil leis an gClár Forbartha Pobail. I 2013 beidh BIM ag iarraidh moltaí faoin gclár, i gcomhtheacs na straitéise atá dá ullmhú. D’fhéadfadh leis an gclár maoiniú a chur ar fáil faoi na cinnteidil seo a leanas: Forbairt ar bhonneagar iascaireachta agus turasóireachta ar scála beag, mar shampla, feabhsú áiseanna céibhe, athchóiriú ar stóranna leac oighir le feidhmiú mar oifigí turasóireachta, siopaí caife srl. Malartú scileanna, mar shampla, traenáil agus foghlaim scileanna nua (b’féidir i gcás iar-iascairí) Slite bheatha nua a fhorbhairt, mar shampla, turasóireacht mara Bia na mara a chur chun cinn tré, mar shampla, féiltí bia mara, comórtais sna scoileanna arl. Ag cur breis luach ar an iascaireacht, mar shampla, tacú le forbairt táirgí mara, brandáil réigiúnach a fhorbairt srl. Tugtar cuireadh do na pobail agus daoine aonaracha a bhfuil cónaí orthu lastigh de 10 km. ón gcósta, agus a bhfuil ceangal acu le slí bheatha na hiascaireachta, moltaí a chur isteach agus a gcuid tuairimí agus smaointí a nochtadh. Déan teagmháil le Kate Burns ag 087 1148078 nó ar an ríomhphost ag kateburnsconsulting@gmail.com A strategy is being prepared for the coastal areas of Mayo and Sligo which will identify priorities for spend in these areas. It will be similar to a LEADER strategy, except with a very specific focus on fishing communities and activities that celebrate and build linkages to the sea and marine resources. The current strategy is solely for the period 2013-2015 with a very modest budget allocated for the region. It is likely, however, that more substantial support will be forthcoming in future programmes and it will be important to demonstrate the value of this initiative and to prove it can target fishing communities in a very specific way, as well as add value and complement other initiatives such as the Rural Development Programme. In 2013 BIM will make calls for proposals under the programme, in accordance with the strategy that has been prepared. The programme could fund projects under the following headings: - Small fisheries and tourism infrastructure development, for example, improvements to port facilities such as converting old ice plants/stores into tourist amenities, coffee shops etc. Skills transfer, for example, training and up-skilling (perhaps to crewmen of vessels which have ceased fishing) Diversification, for example, developing Marine Tourism Promoting the consumption of seafood, for example, organizing seafood festivals, schools competitions etc. Adding value to fisheries, for example, supporting the development of artisan products, establishing regional branding etc. Communities and individuals living within 10 kilometres of the coast, who have a connection with the coastal and fishing livelihood, are invited to make submissions and express their views and ideas.

Keep an eye on Community One of the best ways to stay positive - get involved in something you love
The Mayo North Old Engine and Tractor Club The Mayo North Old Engine and Tractor Club was established in 1999 by a group of vintage enthusiasts. Local interest developed quickly and members found themselves looking for a site to hold their first show. We are indebted to Mrs. Susan Kellett who has facilitated us with an excellent site on the grounds of Enniscoe House, Crossmolina, Co. Mayo. The inaugural show as held in July 2000, it was a resounding success and has improved each successive year. Little did the members at the time realise the success the club would achieve to become one of the largest shows in Ireland, solely due to the hard work and dedication of its members. The Club to date has donated in excess of €90,000 to local and national charities, thanks to the support of the general public who attend our Annual Show and Field Day each year. The Club has also donated tractors and other farm machinery to charities in Africa. The Club tries to foster and encourage an interest in restoring, maintaining and displaying vintage artefacts and also keeping alive old trades and crafts for the benefit of present and future generations. We are pleased to announce that our vintage club will be hosting the All Ireland IVETA National Rally on Sunday July 21st 2013. We are expecting a capacity attendance at this national event and wish to thank IVETA for attending our show. This year weather permitting a spectacular show will be in store, with music, dance, vintage displays, arts and crafts, ploughing, threshing and wheelwrights in action. We are also having Bouncing Castles and lots of other fun activities for children and all family members. Finally the club members wish to thank most sincerely all the exhibitors, traders and members of the public for their support over the past years. In the interest of health & safety all traders and exhibitors must have private insurance cover before entering the show grounds.

Did you ever wonder how one day can be full of good things happening while another can bring with it a series of stresses to be dealt with? We are very resilient creatures when you think of all we manage in a single day. Now more than ever people are being challenged to deal with having less money and job opportunities but possibly more time to themselves and their families. Sometimes when life throws us an unexpected ball from the corner we can either let it floor us or decide to catch it and run with it. One of the best ways to make sure we stay positive and well is to keep ourselves involved with other people ideally doing things we enjoy. For one person this might be sitting in listening to a music session, another it might be calling into a friend for a visit to catch up, another it might be joining a gardening group or keep fit class. Being involved in some activity you enjoy can help other things that might be challenging us to seem a bit easier. The first step picking something you love is often the hardest or having the courage to take the step to enquire or go along to a new activity. That’s where something like the Hope Project based in Erris can help. Hope stands for Healthy Options Project Erris and offers individuals (men and women) a supportive place to meet with Maura Horkan the project worker. Here you can talk through your situation and when you are ready to make the necessary steps. The Hope project may suit someone new to the area to settle in by getting involved in local things, or perhaps someone who has always lived here but never developed their own interests. When we decide we are always too busy to do something for ourselves, often down the road is the inevitable depletion that comes from over giving to others and overlooking ourselves. Often people run themselves out and only when the well is empty realise they need filling up themselves. To enquire telephone Maura at 087 1857280 (Mon to Wed).
Hope Project Drop in Morning Come and hear about the Hope project and what's on offer in Erris to get involved in for men and women. Whether that be social, leisure,courses, ways to relax etc. Open morning 10.30am to 12.30 in following locations: Eachleim Ionad Deirbhile Monday July 15th, Glenamoy Health Centre Tuesday 16th July. To enquire about the Hope Project Tel 087 1857280.

Gathering Success The Heneghan reunion was held from 21-24 June in Erris. The reunion proved to be a unique event which combined the extended family locally and from all over the world with their history, heritage, culture and genealogy. This was done through a series of events, videos and presentations. The events included meet and greet reception, guided tours, and music sessions, laying of a time capsule at the ancestral home, St Johns night bonfire, a traditional rambling house, visit to heritage centres and the Inis Gé islands and dancing with the strawboys. The family history and genealogy was presented through a series of videos and presentations including a video setting the scene of the Heneghans arrival in Erris in the 1820’s. Also a video relaying the story of the first wave of emigration in the family in 1862, a documentary capturing the life of the 16 lighthouse keepers in the family which included never seen before footage from Irish lights. The genealogy of the family was presented through photographs, family tree and the stories from Heneghans all over the world including footage from Heneghan’s Road in Palmerston North on the north Island of new Zealand named after Michael Heneghan from Tarmon who arrived here as the first settler on this road in 1868. Over 270 people attended over the weekend and enjoyed the Cead Mile Failte extended to them from the people of Erris. Guests had the opportunity to buy a memoriam calendar which is a 2014 calendar consisting of old black and white photos and stories representing each branch of the family...Copies of the calendar are still available also a choice of two greeting cards in memory of the reunion are also available.

Keep an eye on The Gathering Travenol's Past Employees Reunion in Belmullet As part of the Gathering 2013 a reunion for
all those who worked in Travenol between July 1974 and November 1981 is taking place on Saturday 10th of August. We hope to reunite as many of our past work colleagues as possible for this special gathering. A small voluntary committee was formed in early 2013 to explore the concept and to help organise this event. Some initial local publicity was done and the interest from former employees was overwhelming. We knew then that we had to go ahead with the idea and that our former colleagues would support the initiative. Travenol set up assembly operations in Belmullet on 15th July 1974 in MBD House located in the town centre. As a result of growth and success, in 1977 operations were moved to a specially designed building situated in the local Industrial Estate, supported by by Údarás na Gaeltachta. At its peak, Travenol employed close on 300 people (the majority female) and in total over 350 people benefited from employment provided by Travenol at some stage. Operations ceased in late 1981 after seven years of activity on a three shift basis. During the late "70's, Travenol was the financial lifeblood for many families in the Erris area, the wages provided were above what others locally offered. The conditions were excellent and employees respected this, for example, absenteeism rates were significantly lower than the national average. During this period quite a few couples emerged from within the employees at the site. Many employees got married, settled down and built homes in the area. Over the Christmas period of 1978, no fewer than eight engagements of employees occurred. In the summer of 1979, on average two weddings a week took place. In total, twenty nine employees at the site got married that summer. Belmullet was booming, all thanks to Travenol! Travenol’s decision in 1980, to move its production from Belmullet was a devastating blow for the local economy and the entire Erris area. The Erris area is equivalent to the size of Co Louth. To the employees and their families it was an unthinkable disaster. They had come to rely on the stability of the income from their employment and the future was now a very dark cloud facing each and every one of them. Their lives were to be totally changed forever. Many had to emigrate to either the UK or USA to find employment as there were few realistic opportunities available locally. Nonetheless, all who worked there appreciated the financial impact it made in their lives for that relatively short seven year period. It had given many a good start in their working lives. Quickly a community was split apart and the return of emigration was once again a major issue for the Erris region. After almost 40 years from the opening of Travenol in Belmullet we thought that ‘The Gathering’ initiative offered us a wonderful opportunity to reunite old colleagues and friends once again. An invitation is extended to all former employees and their partners to come join us for a trip down memory lane and renew old friendships. A great night of nostalgia is in store; some old photographs may well appear on the night, so be prepared! We hope to once again rekindle the spirit of the late 1970's in the good old days of Travenol. No need to pre-book, just turn up on the night! * Finger food will be served and dance the night away to music by The Duets. *A cover charge of approximately €10 will apply.

Keep an eye on New Nine Holes at Carne Golf Links Carne Golf Links in County Mayo will open their long awaited new holes in July this year. The Kilmore nine will form an additional loop through the most spectacular dunes on the 280 acre property and will further enhance what is already considered to be one of the greatest courses in Ireland, at a time when good news stories are few and far between in the industry. It is the first significant Irish new-build project since the economic crash of 2008.
Sport
At a time when many other courses in Ireland are struggling to make ends meet, Carne has once again returned to sustainable first principles by building a high quality golf course on a very low budget and by using environmentally friendly methods that respect the unique landscape. As with the original 18 holes, the construction was overseen primarily by a small and local work-force whose passion for the project has ultimately played a large part in its success.

The new holes have undergone a long gestation period, having first been suggested by Hackett himself the year before he died in 1996.

Lesson 3 Reading the Putts Reading a putting green and understanding how a putt breaks. A perfectly struck putt that is not properly
read will not go in to the hole. Over half of the putts you miss are because you have improperly judged the speed and line of the putt. The most critical factor in understanding how much a putt is going to break is the speed of your putt. Speed and Line go hand in hand, remember all putts are straight until they lose speed. The slope of the green and the way a putt breaks should be identified visually and then confirmed and felt with your feet. Look for the low points of the green and determine where the water of the putting green would drain if it were wet. This will help you identify which way a putt may move when it loses speed. Most amateur golfers do not read enough break, especially putts that break severely. A top tip is to play more break and use less speed on severe breaking putts to increase your chances of holing the putt and/or leaving yourself a tap in two putt.

Seanfhocal na Seachtaine Bíonn gach duine go lách go dtéann bó ina ghairdín. Everybody is good natured until a cow goes into his garden.
Gáire Maith is Codladh Fada Cúig bliana ó shoin, gheallas dom chara, Séamas, go scríobhfainn píosa greannmhar ó am go chéile. Tá Séamas den tuairim gur choinnigh an greann sinn beo nuair a bhí an saol ainnis go leor againn. Sé rud a bhí ann, dar leis, ná faoiseamh ón smacht agus ón anró.
Ceard é an gaelige ar ...
Ma's é do thoil é. Le do thoil. Go raibh maith agat. Tá fáilte romhat. Ná habair é. Dia linn. Buíochas le Dia. Gabh mo leithscéal. Cén fáth? B'fhéidir. Bí ciúin. Is dóigh liom. Is cuma liom. Maith go leor. Go n'éirí an t-ádh leat.
Please. Please. Thank you. You're welcome. Don't mention it. God bless you. (After a sneeze) Thank God. Excuse me. Why? Maybe. Be quiet. I suppose. I don't care. Good enough / O.K.
Good luck!
Creideann sé go bhfuil géar-ghá le gáire croíúil rachtúil anois is arís chun na droch sprideanna a scaipeadh. Ná bac le siceolaithe! Éist leis an seanfhocal ---- gáire maith agus codladh fada an dá leigheas is fearr. Nuair a bhíos óg agus ag freastal ar an Scoil Naisiúnta thugadh an sagart paróiste cuairt orainn uair sa bhliain. Bhíodh eagla orainn go léir roimhe mar is minic a chuireadh sé ceisteanna deacra orainn ón dTeagasc Críostaí --- agus súil aige leis an bhfreagra ceart uainn, tá's agat. Dá dteipfeadh ort aon cheist, dá amaidí, a fhreagairt bheadh an máistir sa mhullach ort go ceann míosa ina dhiaidh sin. Maireann neart scéalta fós sa bhéaloideas a bhaineann le turais seo na sagart. Chualas an ceann seo ag m'athair. Thug an sagart cuairt ar an scoil lá. Chrom sé ar cheisteanna a chur ar bhuachaill mallbhreathach, aduaidh ón gCarn. Má chuir ní bhfuair sé de fhreagra ón mbuachaill bocht ach "níl fhios agam a athair" arís is arís eile. Bhí an máistir náirithe agus an sagart ar buile. Amach leis, léim sé ar a chapall agus ó thuaidh leis go tigh an bhuachalla. Ní raibh istigh roimhe ach an mháthair. "A bhean chóir," ar sé, "is oth liom a rá go bhfuil mac leat i gcruachás." "Beidh a anam i mbaol muna n-athraíonn sé a bhéasa." Níl eolas dá laghad aige ar an dTeagasc Críostaí agus níl fiú na paidreacha aige." "D'fhiafruíos de inniu, cathain a fuair Críost bás agus ní raibh fhios aige. "A' gcreidfeá é sin?" "Chreidfinn a athair," ar sí, "ach ná tóg ar an mbuachaill macánta é." "Is amhlaidh a táimíd ro-fhada ón mbóthar le na sochraidí a fheiscint ag dul thar bráid." "D'fhéadfadh an t-easpog féin bheith caillte i ngan fhios dúinn." "D'fhéadfadh mhuis." Bhí feirmeoir i gCuan Dor tráth agus bhí iníon aige. Bean ábalta chruthúil ab ea í ach í beagáinín tugtha don aisfhreagra de réir an scéil. Ar aon nós tháinig fear óg chun na tí, oíche, chun cleamhnas a dhéanamh leis an mbean so. Thárla go raibh sé ar leath-shúil de dheasca timpiste éigin. Thaitin an bhean leis agus nuair a bhí sé ag imeacht d'iontaigh sé uirthi agus dúirt: "Tá súil agam gur gearr go bhfeice mé arís thú." "Tá," arsan bhean, "agus súil eile nách bhfeicfidh go deo mé." Tá súil agam nár phósadar a chéile. Bhíodh bacach nó fear siúil ag taisteal bóithre Iarthar Chorcaí fadó. Bhí ana mheas ag na daoine air mar ba fhear macánta é agus fara sin ba scealaí iontach é. Pé scéal é, d'éirigh sé aosta agus ba dheachair dó taisteal ó bhí na cosa ag teip air. Tháinig na daoine le chéile agus bhailíodar roinnt airgid chun asal a cheannach dó. Chuireadar in áirde ar an asal é agus d'fhiafruíodar de "Cén áird arbh áil leat dul leis?" "Ó, ar sé, "tabhair cead a chinn dó mar tá gnó agam i ngach uile áird." Ar eagla go gceapfadh sibh nár cleachtadh an greann ach sa Mhumhain, seo ceann a bhailigh Seán Ó Ruadháin i gCo. Mhuigh Eo: (Ar ndóigh bhíodh na scéalta céanna acu chuile áit ach go mbíodh casadh áitiúil orthu). "Bhí duine uasal ag dul thar abhainn uair amháin, agus ar a bhealach thug sé fá deara go raibh an bádóir liath ins an ngruaigh agus dubh ins an bhfeasóig. "Cén aois thú, le do thoil?" arsan duine uasal leis an mbádóir. "Táim suas i mbrollach leath-chéad bliain sílim," ar sé. "'Sé an fáth ar chuir mé an cheist ort," arsan fear eile, "mar go dtugaim fá deara go bhfuil do ghruaigh liath ach nách bhfuil an fheasóg." "Mhuise ní hionadh ar bith é sin," arsan bádóir, "mar go bhfuil mo chuid gruaige fiche bliain níos sine ná an fhéasóg." Fuair Éinrí Ua Muirgheasa an ceann seo i dTír Chonaill i dtosach an chéid: "Bhí dea-thiarna tailimh ann san tsean-aimsir agus nuair a bhíodh daoine na dúiche ag díol a gcíos, bhí mar chleachtadh aige béile agus gloine bhiotáille a thabhairt daofa. Bhí seanduine ann a raibh an-spéis aige sa bhiotáille. Nuair a tháinig a sheal, "Seo dhuit a Chriostail," arsan tiarna, "is ól an ghloine seo is tá sé ag cur tairne eile i do chónra." D'ól sé suas go tapaidh é, chroith sé é féin, is shín sé an ghloine ar ais chuig an tiarna, is dúirt, "Nuair tá an casúr i do láimh tiomáin tairne eile ann, más é do thoil é." Críochnód le ceann Meiriceánach a bhaineann leis an dteas. Tá fhios agaibh go mbíonn "Death Valley" iontach te. Bheul fuair fear ón gceanntar sin bás agus cuireadh go hIfreann é. Ba thrua leis an ndiabhal a chás agus thug sé cáirde cúpla lá dó chun dul abhaile lena chóta mór d'fháil. Taobh le Death Valley bhí Ifreann fuar. Na laethannta seo chreidfinn é.

Keep an eye on Community Tidy Towns Schedule of Clean Ups So many people have been turning up for clean-ups, we thought it would be a good idea to schedule them for certain areas around the town – we hope you’ll agree that this is the way forward! For Monday, July 8, the clean-up will focus on the Church Road and Logmore area, as well as the Tallagh Road, Hospital Road, Bridge Road area. On Monday, July 17, we will tidy up the Barrack Street and Ballina Road area, as well as the Seaside and Shore Road area. On Monday, July 22, we will cover the town area and the canal area, meeting at the Square. And on Monday, July 29, we will go back again to the Church Road and Logmore area, and the Tallagh Road, Hospital Road, Bridge Road area, repeating the pattern. The clean-ups take place between 7.00 p.m. and 9.00 p.m. Of course, some people like to sweep their own streets in their own time and we appreciate everyone’s help. However, if you want to meet up for a bit of craic, make note of the times and locations. Litter Action League – June Results Belmullet has been defeated once again, in the Mayo Co. Co. Litter Action League. In April, we were beaten by Foxford. In May, Crossmolina overcame us. And in June, Ballinrobe won the match. This time, the adjudicator found 63 pieces of litter, and came across 200 cigarette butts, amongst the streets of Belmullet town. Come on! It may seem far-fetched, but it is still possible for us to win the league, if we all pitch in now! And remember everyone, please BIN YOUR BUTTS!

Here’s what they say: “Do you want to learn how to manage your weight without being on a diet’?

A healthy weight can be achieved by literally making small changes in your lifestyle. For expert guidance, our Croí Nutritionist will facilitate a 6 week group session (1 hour per week) where you will discover the key to healthy weight management. An initiative by Croí, the West of Ireland Cardiac Foundation in association with the ‘Mayo Action On Heart Disease & Stroke’ programme.” The programme will be delivered by Áine Waldron, the dedicated Croí Nutritionist and will: Help you explore your relationship with food Teach you how to make healthy choices when shopping Help you to understand food labels Assist you in controlling portion sizes During this 6 week programme you will keep a food diary and will have the option of participating in a weekly ‘weigh-in’. The Programme in Erris will begin on Thursday 19th September at 7.00pm in Áras Inis Gluaire. As an added extra, the men will have the option to attend two basic cooking classes at the end of the 6 weeks. There are limited places available so don’t delay! For further information & to book your place, contact Lorraine on 097 81079. (This project is being organised locally by The Men’s Community Initiative, The Men on the Move and the HOPE project).

Geesala Tidy Towns Litterbug Jitterbug AntiLitter Project Geesala Tidy Towns have been working with the children of Geesala N. S, Bangor N. S, Glencastle N. S and Doohoma N. S on an anti-litter awareness project called The Litterbug jitterbug. The project is about telling a story or getting a message across about anti-litter. The children decided on the music and materials to be used on their costumes which was anything from crisp wrappers to plastic bottles, rags to bin liners turning them into costumes to be worn during filming of The Litterbug Jitterbug dance and song routine. The project involved three stages over three months. (1) Collecting material and making costumes with the children, guided by facilitators to help them think about an anti-litter story. (2) A seminar was held in Aras Inis Gluaire, which was educational, creative and above all fun for the children involved. (3) Filming the children in four locations in Erris doing their Hip Hop dance routine in their hand crafted costumes. Geesala Tidy Towns thank the children, their teachers and parents for getting involved and supporting us in this project.
t Thanks to the workshop facilitator Elise Brennan, photography and school visits by Aiga Blowick and Geraldine Conroy and the Kiltane Rural Social Scheme participants Patrick McDonagh, Mary Munnelly, Angeline Turver & David McMaster for all their help with the project.
