The event was coordinated over a number of years by Lusk resident Mrs Nina Flynn.A special arts and crafts competition was held in the weeks prior to the mass and talks by Lusk Historical Society kept the Staff and pupils informed about the history of the Ballrothery Union. A special stone cross was erected in 1918 at the site of the burial grounds of those who died across the road in the Balllrothery Union 4

LUSK LOCAL-JULY 2018

Buildings. Fr Gerard Moore said he has celebrated mass over a number of years at the burial grounds.This year marks the 100th Anniversary of the erection of the Cross and he was particularly delighted to be there on that day in Hedgestown NS where he attended as a pupil many years ago.In his day there were only two rooms with four classes in each in the school. The acting school principal Colm Lawlor said he was delighted to welcome everybody to the mass and refreshments afterwards which were organised by the parents committee. There was great interest among the pupils and teachers to learn about the local history of the Balrothery union and he extended a special

welcome to past pupil Fr Gerrard Moore. Readings, singing and music were provided by the pupils and awards were presented to pupils for their special efforts. Historical Background: Balrothery Poor Law Union was formally declared on the 1st April 1839 and covered an area of 120 square miles. Its operation was overseen by an elected Board of Guardians, 23 in number, representing its 12 electoral divisions as listed below (figures in brackets indicate numbers of Guardians if more than one):Co. Dublin: Balbriggan (3), Ballyboghill, Balscaddan, Clonmethon, Donabate (2), Hollywood (2), Holmpatrick (2), Kilsallaghan (2), Kinsealy

[Kinsaley], Lusk (3), Malahide (2), Swords (3). The Board also included 7 ex-officio Guardians, making a total of 30. The population falling within the Union at the 1831 census had been 28,124 with Divisions ranging in size from Clonmethon (population 890) to Balbriggan (5,078). The new Balrothery Union workhouse was erected on a 24acre site about three miles to the north-west of Lusk. Designed by the Poor Law Commissioners’ architect George Wilkinson, the building followed one of his standard design to accommodate 400 inmates. Its construction cost £4,945 plus £905 for fittings etc.

- Book Review-North County Dublin A Memoir by Dan Redmond

Dan in Colorado’s Garden of the Gods National Park 1993.

Dan Redmond’s recently published memoir: North County Dublin – A Memoir is the product of Dan’s experiences in life, and is the product of his course in DCU. Here’s what the publisher had to say about it: ’Steeped in nostalgia, this rich and evocative memoir comments on the social mores of a bygone (and much respected) generation from the heart of rural Ireland. The author resurrects the faces, places and communities he loved and admired. From the barefoot and poorly-clad children pawing their way to school over tarred stone roads, to the dignity and common decency of the farming community that once was (and their contribution to supporting the less

well-off families) there is so much to discover in this fascinating account. He offers a thought-provoking window into the utter self-sacrifice of the women folk, who somehow reared their families on next to nothing, and village life in general. The insights into his personal experiences and working life as an emigrant, to the still bomb-damaged and struggling Manchester of 1952, are uniquely revealing. The author’s memories take us on a captivating journey from Avonmouth to London (and his subsequent activities in Bethnal Green, Whitechapel and Bow – where he lived for four years) back to Ireland and a job at Aer Lingus, via the USA.’ This book is a must read for everyone either native to or now living in the North Dublin area. It tells how he was born in the early thirties in Castleblondin, Co. Kilkenny. How he was the second son of talented working-class parents who moved to Dublin in 1934 to live in a tithed house in Brackenstown from which they were ultimately evicted. He recalls his trials in life at school, emigrating to England and returning home penniless. However it also tells of his determination to succeed, his world travels, and of his migration again to Canada and subsequent return to Dublin where he honed his skills as a writer through a course in DCU. Overall this is a book about life experiences, many of which some will relate to especially those living in the North Dublin area and is a great insight into its past. The book is packed with humour, empathy and very real observations, this personal odyssey will keep you engaged and entertained from beginning to end. North County Dublin: A Memoir can be bought in JC’s Supermaket in Swords (near the customer service desk), The Skerries Bookshop, Prices in Rush, or online on Amazon.co.uk. Our advice is to hurry as it is flying off the shelves.

Finance

Financial Wellbeing - Wealth in relation to health By Dave Kavanagh Money. Every choice you make, every activity you do, every change you contemplate, are in some way connected to your finances. Yet most people rarely take the time that their financial situation deserves, to plan it effectively. You have income and expenditure. The basic premise is that your income exceeds your expenditure, leaving you with disposable income. So if you keep your spending below your income, you’ll always have plenty of money left over and you’ll never have to worry about it. Simple right? Not exactly. Unless you’re extremely lucky, for most of us, it just doesn’t fall conveniently into place like that. The subject of money does, in fact, get cited in a host of situations from relationship issues, employment choices, lifestyle quality and in numerous ways, your health. Anything that can lead to anxiety, depression, guilt or restrict how well you look after yourself, can be detrimental to your health. And your finances can definitely impact in these areas. So what can you do differently and what can you be more aware of? The first step in managing and planning your finances with more efficiency, is to establish where you currently are. Most people know what their income presently is, but

they are not as sure about their expenditure. They’ll know the main items, but so much gets left out. Think of the last time you took €50 out of an ATM to pay €15 for something. What did the other €35 get spent on? Keep a detailed track of every cent spent for one month, to get a true picture. Tips. A few basic actions that most people can do, to improve things: • Examine 3 months’ banks statements and make sure you can account for every single transaction. • Compare utility service providers. • Plan your shopping. Make a list and don’t shop while hungry. • Don’t wait until the last minute to compare before you renew things like car or home insurance. • Review premiums for things like mortgage protection and life cover. You DO NOT have to only take them out with your own bank. • Know your rights when an item is faulty and do not be fobbed off with “it’s out of warranty” (especially true with large kitchen appliances that break down after 18 months!) Planning. Once you have real figures, you can plan a little more accurately. Financial planning is primarily aimed at ensuring your current, future and unexpected income remains at least sufficient for you to live on. Everybody’s circumstances are different, so it is important to consider the financial loss that would be suffered in certain eventualities, but specifically to you.

In the same way that your health and wellbeing require planning, consideration and a degree of effort, so too does your wealth require planning, consideration and a degree of effort. Your health and wealth are inextricably linked. Giving each the attention they deserve, will only be positive for you. Dave Kavanagh QFA has been

advising people financially for over 25 years. Combined with his previous role of gym/nutrition adviser, he regularly gives talks and workshops at seminars and events for groups, companies and government departments on financial wellbeing, positivity and motivation. He has spoken at all of The Full 360 events with Alison Canavan around the country. As heard on RTE 2FM and TV3.

Project Fashion- Ireland’s leading fashion Academy By Fashion Editor Carina Cunningham

This month guys and girls I would like to introduce you to Project Fashion. Project Fashion is Ireland’s Leading Fashion Academy for Kids. The Academy is professionally run by Paul Alexander who is a designer himself. What I liked about all this is the fact that the children are actually learning about the history of fashion in such a fun way. The students in the academy range in age from7 to 15 years old. In our photoshoot, in Gino’s Ice Cream Parlour, the Children modelled their latest collection. The theme is Sidewalk to Catwalk and they based their designs on street culture from the 1920”s right up to the present day. Teddy Boys, Mods, Rockers,Hippies,Punks, Casuals and Goths. Their collection includes Biker Jackets, Tunic Dresses , Jumpsuits,50”s Dresses and lots more. Their outfits are also age appropriate which I think is so important these days. We don’t want our little girls age 7 upwards dressing like teens, thats all too progressive and we need to keep them young at heart and safe. The children really loved the photoshoot. They were showing me how they made their outfits and trimmings with matching buttons. They learn how to hand sew and machine sew and will even be learning 12 LUSK LOCAL-JULY 2018

pattern making in these fabulous classes. At the end of each term of classes they get to model on the red carpet.and havebeen featured in the Pavilion in Swords fashion show and Flavours of Fingal in June. The summer camp is their next project which takes in 18 venues country wide. The theme is ‘Co Co The Movie’ with South American style and a mix of Latino Gyspy tops and up-cycled Jeans- re hashed into shorts and skirts with bright vibrant colours, culminating on a red carpet catwalk on the last day of camp The extra good news is I have invited Paul with 30 of his best children to open my Style Warrior Fashion and Entertainment Show on Sat 6 th Oct in Wrights Venue in aid of NECRET Cancer Research. Huge Stage and Catwalk. ! Lights Camera Action guaranteed, with lots and lots of fun. This will be one event not to miss.

A healthy Eton Mess that will impress!!!! “Eton Mess is a classic, easy and one of the most favourite Summer desserts. I have tweaked a few ingredients here and there to make a healthier yet very impressive version. The few ingredients needed in this recipe are readily available and relatively cheap which makes it ideal for any Summer parties, BBQ’s or keeping up with the figure!

Ingredients Makes 4

• 450g Vanilla Greek style yogurt

• 300g Summer berries (frozen/fresh) • 2 Pre-cooked/bought meringue nests • Juice of 1 lime • 6 fresh mint leaves, chopped finely

Method 1. Gently heat the berries with the lime juice and mint leaves on a hob on low heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. 2. Place 3 tablespoons of the yogurt into each serving jar/dish. 3. Add 2 tablespoons of the heated berry mixture on top of the yogurt. 4. Finally crush half of a meringue nest

on top and enjoy! Tip: You can prepare these in advance up to Step 3 and then just before you serve them, add the meringue to ensure it gives a nice crunch! For 1:1 nutrition consultations, public health talks or workshops in preschools, primary or secondary schools and workplaces, please email: niamh@biabites.net See my ‘Fun food’ and ‘Recipes’ albums on ‘Biabites’ Facebook for other food ideas.

St Maurs GFC Rush club notes

Congratulations to the u14 girls on winning div 3 league in style recently with an impressive win against St Finians 10-9 to 1-0. The girls topped the league winning all their games. The future is looking bright for St Maurs camogie - well done girls. Well done and congratulations also to Kerri Austin from St Maurs who won the Leinster Féile skills in Clara, Kilkenny recently. With one of the fastest growing juvenile sections in North Dublin, St. Maurs will have plenty on offer over the summer months to keep its younger members busy. Last night saw the launch of our first ever hurling/ camogie mini leagues. Over 150 kids took part on the first night and were supported by parents, mentors and members of the adult hurling and camogie teams. The first of 3 summer camps (Kellogg’s Cùl Camp) runs from 16th- 20th July and gives kids the opportunity to learn and improve on their football, hurling and camogie skills in a fun environment. The club camps run from 14-17th Aug (hurling/camogie) and the 21st-24th Aug (football). Camps are open to boys and girls between the ages of 4-12. Non-members are also welcome. Boys hurling continues throughout the summer with the Camaint competition, a series of blitz style matches against other Dublin clubs throughout the month of July, culminating in finals day in Parnell Park in August. The most fun family event of the year is the annual club campout in July where families take to camping out overnight on the pitches for a day and night of games, music, BBQ, and lots of fun. We finish off the summer in style with the football mini-leagues. This event runs for 3 nights in September and is always a well supported, successful event. Contact us: communitylocals@gmail.com
