Fingal Rowing Club launches new skiff

By Paul Kavanagh Fingal Rowing Club are delighted to announce the Official launch of their new Irish Rowing Skiff the St Maur. This took place on Sunday 12th Aug at 10:00am in Rush Sailing Club. St Maur is a traditional handmade wooden boat and was built by a local boat builder with the help of all our members. All funds were raised by club members to grow the sport of rowing in the local community. The Fingal Rowing Club was established in Oct 2016 and is the 10th rowing club within the East Coast Rowing Council. The members had to borrow a skiff (boat) each week to compete in competitions, relying on other clubs support, this was not a long term solution and therefore they made the decision to fundraise and build their own traditional Irish racing standard skiff. Rogerstown is where the club trains and the first boat ever built in Rush Sailing Club was named St Maur and it was felt calling the 1st rowing skiff the same should continue with this tradition. East Coast tradition is to name skiffs after a local saint helping to drive community spirit! The launch event was attended by Anthony Lavin (Mayor) Local TDâ€™s and local Fingal Councillors & the Chairperson of our governing body East Coast Rowing Council. The club also had fantastic support from all the members of Rush Sailing Club who have supported Fingal Rowing Club in so many ways. Following the launch of the St. Maur the club members took part in the annual visit to Lambay Island, with a crew rowing approximately 8k out to the Island and back. The event was also supported by one of the local sponsors Lambay Whiskey. They are one of the main sponsors of The Lambay Rowing Challenge which will take place on September 22nd.The club have regular open days, so if you are interested in getting involved or sponsorship of club or crews please contact them or check out the website www.FingalRowingClub.ie / Facebook/Twitter. 6

Flowers from Portrane for Royal Couple

A talented Portrane woman took Bloom by storm this year taking home the Gold Medal and Best in Show for her contemporary floral art design “ in homage to...” However, not long after her success in Bloom, Adrienne Flood got the opportunity to show off her talent by displaying floral creations at the British Ambassador’s residence ‘Glencairn’. Her creations took centre stage at the newly married British Royal couple Prince Harry and wife Meghan Markle’s visit here in July. Adrienne created 12 pieces overall, one tricolour, two using the British flag colours and nine Black and white arrangements which were all contemporary designs. Adrienne had a wonderful experience and evening meeting many Irish celebrities including Amy Huberman and even the British Royal couple themselves! Over all it has been an exciting few months for Adrienne Flood who does her flower arrangements as a hobby. We look forward to seeing what she has in store for us next.”

Duo Chagall launches Farmleigh concerts

Deputy Arts Officer for Fingal Sarah O’Neill, Mayor of Fingal, Cllr Anthony Lavin, and Autumn Sounds violinist Gillian Williams and Autumn Sounds cellist Arun Rao at Farmleigh, Phoenix Park.

The series of Autumn Sounds Concerts was launched at Farmleigh on Friday, 10 August with the Mayor of Fingal, Cllr Anthony Lavin attending. The Autumn Sounds Concert 2018 takes place

at the Ballroom in Farmleigh, Phoenix Park next month and brings together a team of international performers led by wellknown Fingal-based classical music group Duo Chagall. This is the eighth year that the group have directed Autumn

Sounds in Farmleigh. This year the concerts take place on September 14 and 21 (8pm).After four years of performing the chamber music of German composer Robert Schumann, Duo Chagall are dedicating this year’s edition to early20th century composer Claude Debussy to mark the centenary of his death. Speaking at the launch, Duo Chagall cellist Arun Rao said: This is a pretty unique tribute to French luminary Claude Debussy, complete with Clair de lune, Golliwog’s Cake-walk and the famous Dances for Chromatic Harp; there’s even going to be an Irish première: the opera Pelléas & Mélisande in a short instrumental version.” Violinist Gillian Williams, the series’ coDirector, added: “We have invited some superb musicians this year. As a native of Fingal, I think it is really something that we are now in a position to bring someone like Sivan Magen (21/09) to be our partner at the Ballroom. Obviously our long-term relationship with Fingal Arts and The Office of Public Works has been critical, but this year we must also thank The Arts Council of Ireland and the Conseil des Arts et des Lettres du Québec. It is a great expansion.” Mayor of Fingal, Cllr Anthony Lavin said: “I’m delighted that Fingal’s Art Office is continuing to support the Autumn Sounds concerts in Farmleigh this year.

Guide Dogs receive new van for North Dublin We in the Balbriggan\North County Dublin branch of Irish Guide Dogs for the Blind were earlier this year approached by a family who wanted to make a very significant donation towards the work of the charity. The family concerned wanted to do something different than simply donating money. In our work to change the lives of the visually impaired or children with autism, we train puppies who will, over time, mature and become working dogs. The first critical stage of this training is the year spent with a puppy raiser. Many people throughout our area of North County Dublin volunteer to take puppies for a year with supervision and support from our local puppy raising supervisor Graham and head office in Cork. Supervisors like Graham need suitable transport to deliver those valuable puppies to their puppy raisers. With this in mind and the generosity of the family, Tom and Breege Oâ€™Neill Guide Dog Owners from Balbriggan were delighted to recently accept the keys of a Ford Transit Connect from Dave Langan of Ford Airside Swords. Thanks to our donors and Ford Airside, our puppy raising Supervisor will be supporting our future guide and assistance dogs and their puppy raisers throughout the North Dublin area.If you are interested in becoming a puppy raiser or wish to volunteer or learn more about the Balbriggan\North County Dublin branch of Irish Guide Dogs please call 085 7663107 or send an email to guidedogsbalbriggan@gmail.com.

The Few Good Sharply Dressed Men By Fashion Editor Carina Cunningham

Hello again, this month I decided to give the guys a look in. So off I went headhunting in and out of the streets of Swords. I had heard of a big company called SK Biotek based on Swords Campus, Watery Lane. It’s a contract development and pharmaceutical manufacturing plant. It’s been operating for the last 50 years here in Swords and approximately 500 people work there. So, no better place to find five very cool male volunteers to transform into ‘The Sharply Dressed Man’. Within the company their employees and external partners include Chemists, Scientists, Engineers, Marketing, Quality Assurance personnel, just to mention a few. We went to meet them at their workplace, dressed in their work wear and took it from there. No doubt they were a little camera shy and would you blame them as it wasn’t their normal day’s work. We took a few shots in the head office then right across the road in their plant where all the very specialized manufacturing active pharmaceutical ingredients known as API takes place. They manufacture chemotherapy API, used in Cancer drug treatments. So I have total respect for these 14 LUSK LOCAL-SEPTEMBER 2018

amazing gents. After shooting them in their work place we popped into AB Formal Wear in Swords. Shop owner Rimas Gaucys has a huge collection of stylish suits and definitely something to meet every man’s taste. He personally fitted my models into suits that matched their looks and personality. He gave them their Va va voom and there you have it, as they looked pretty handsome all round. We then went on location to Swords Castle. What a stunning job Fingal County Council took on and finished leaving us with something so special to be very proud of; if your residing in Swords, like myself, it is well worth a visit. As you can see the restoration of the church is outstanding just like our ‘Sharply Dressed Men.’ Great fun and super personalities shine through in each photo. Congratulations gents it’s a winner. I would just like to finish-off by introducing each of them and say a huge thank you for such a fun day out with my super Tog Abe Neihum, he definitely made our cool men feel relaxed for the few hours we spent with them. Models include

Stephen Cassidy, Quality Control Manager, David Gargan, Maintenance Department, David Toner, Technical Service Operator, Jerry McEntee, Technical Service Operator and Damien Wall who works in one of the large scale manufacturing plants where SK manufactures diabetes and HIV drugs. These really are ‘a few good men’ Thank you dear gents for the fantastic experience meeting you all and styling your shoot. Also I want to say a huge thank you to Global Communications Lead, Audraí O’Dwyer, who assisted us as this would not have been possible without her co-ordinating and convincing our super models to have a shot at becoming a model for the day. The big plus and good news is they have also agreed to model in my Style Warrior Fashion and Entertainment Show in aid of North East Cancer Research Education Trust, on Saturday 6th October in Wrights Venue. Keep up the very rewarding work guys. I am proud to have met you all. Carina. Stylist and article Photographer Abe Neihum Contact us: communitylocals@gmail.com

How losing weight can leave you with more money By Dave Kavanagh It’ll soon be that time of year again, where hoards of people are embarking on “healthier” lifestyles in order to lose excess weight, get fitter or at least fit into certain clothes that they used to fit into! It’s usually well intentioned, even if the method chosen sometimes leaves a lot to be desired. So let’s dispel a few myths while at the same time, showing you how you can have more money in your pocket/purse/bank account: DIETS DON’T WORK – Let’s start with the point that, unless you’ve been without television, radio or social media for your whole life, should be quite obvious by now. Diets do not work. Any short-term drastic change to your usual pattern of eating and drinking, is mostly unsustainable and therefore, will result in reverting back to old habits. 98% of people that lose weight this way, pile it back on again (with sometimes more than they had before they started!). Any plans that suggest your calorie intake should be below your basal metabolic rate (the minimum rate of calories required to simply function) is not a good idea (and that includes practically starving yourself for a few days!). The key to success is to make subtle lifestyle changes that are manageable and not a shock to your system. It could be removing white bread from your daily routine. The following week it could be cutting the amount of wine or beer you drink. The next week it could be only using stairs instead of lifts or escalators. One small change per week is 52 changes in a year. No, this won’t lead to you dropping a stone (6.36kg) in 5 days.

But if it drops 1/2 lb per week, that’s almost 2 stone in a year. This way, you are far more likely to keep the weight off as your new routine has slowly and gradually become the norm. To see what you need to do, keep a detailed (and honest) diary of food, drink and activity for 7 days. Make sure you include every little detail. Once this is done, it should be quite obvious where YOUR adjustments need to be made. (For months of tips and advice around the area of getting healthier and losing weight in an efficient manner, see the free weight loss group thread here http://mams.ie/forums/topic/ mumstown-free-weight-loss-group/ ) SO HOW DOES THAT LEAVE YOU WITH MORE MONEY? – As described above, one of the keys to success is to slowly remove some of the indulgences that are simply not going to help you lose weight. Now, nobody is suggesting that you never drink again or order take-away food. Moderation is the point to note. But the things that could do with being cut down are often ones that can put a strain on your finances – additional beer/wine, pizzas, fizzy drinks (when water will do a much better job!) etc. If you are spending less on these things, then you have more money left over. This also extends to other aspects of a healthier lifestyle. How often do you drive to the shops when you really could have walked? Burning more calories and not using any petrol. Then, there are the health benefits. Statistically speaking, the closer you are to a healthy height/ weight ratio, the less likely you are to encounter weight related health

issues, therefore saving you the costs associated with dealing with these health issues. Overall, if you have a little patience and a desire to succeed efficiently, making these subtle changes can leave you healthier, closer to your ideal weight and with a few more euro left over each month. So what is there to lose? Errrrr….weight. Dave Kavanagh QFA has been advising people financially for over 25 years. For quotes or information (with no cost or obligation) he can

Super Cereal Bars “Back to work, school or college after the Summer break may mean back to routine but it doesn’t have to mean back to bad habits! Autumn is the season for change and what better way to start the new school year than on a healthy note. A lot of cereal bars in shops are loaded with sugar which give an instant energy high but this is rapidly followed by an energy crash and cravings for more sweet foods. These cereal bars below are tasty but very satisfying and filling. Not to mention they are so simple to make and contain only 5 ingredients which are very commonplace in many homes. 18 LUSK LOCAL-SEPTEMBER 2018

Ingredients

Makes 15 bars • 500g muesli (No added sugar) • 200mls milk • 100g nut butter (Peanut/almond/ cashew etc.) • 4 tablespoons honey • 150g dark chocolate to coat on top

Method 1. Make a well in the centre of the muesli in a mixing bowl. Add the milk and using a knife make an ‘X’ in the mixture, mixing the milk into the muesli. 2. Add the honey and nut butter and combine together. 3. Spread onto a baking tray with grease proof paper and freeze for 4

hours or overnight. 4. Just before removing from the freezer, melt the dark chocolate and then spread it on top of the mixture. 5. Place the mixture back in the freezer for another hour. Make sure it is quite solid. Then cut it up and gobble up! Try store some in a lunchbox in the freezer so that they last the week!!
