Front Cover Recently purchased 12 heated external boxes which will contain a defibril lator accessible by anyone. It is important that the boxes are heated as inside the unit there is a battery which needs optimum temperature to last for 5 years. Recently a defib was placed into a local townland in Erris and lasted only 1 year. This is due to temperature of the storage of the defib. The boxes have a particular uniform colour and shape designed to be easily spotted in a cardiac emergency. Defib can be used by anyone and a minimum of 6 people will be trained in Erris as Cardiac First Responders (CFR).Pictured Ann Nallen who worked hard to secure the funding to purchase these boxes for storage of the defib units.

TEACHING THE NEXT GENERATION TO FARM OUR SEAS During the great famine in Ireland, many people were facing starvation after their potato crops failed; many of these turned to the sea and found a rich source of nutrit ion and protein, which sustained them through those dark years. In early 2015 the population of the planet exceeded 7 bil l ion, leaving many experts to ask the question, how do we feed the planet against this rising population? This question becomes all the more pressing in the light of predictions of future global population trends, with many experts in the f ield, stating that the world population would exceed 9 bil l ion by 2050, and may exceed 11 bill ion by the turn of the century.We are facing into an issue of managing our scarce resources, which includes food, water and energy and managing these resources to feed and sustain the world. The food that traditionally sustained this world was mostly farmed in a traditional manner, on farmland animals were raised for slaughter and vegetables were harvested from the soil. However landmass on this planet only account for 30 percent of the surface of the earth the other 70 percent is the oceans, which have complex eco-systems capable of supporting many species, both animal and plant and these species can be used to help meet future food needs.The oceans the saltwater depositories holds ninety seven percent of the water of the planet, the other three percent is fresh water depositories. However only three percent of the fresh water on this planet is available for human consumption, as ninety seven percent of the fresh water is frozen in glaciers and in the great ice packs in the polar regions of the earth or trapped in ground water. So the world faces a duel problem of not only having limited food resources to feed an increasing population, but also the pressing issues of ensuring that there is an adequate fresh water supply across the globe.

We need to provide food and water to all species on the planet, the key to making this a reality is through education, we need to educate our young, our next generation, so they can carry this important mission forward. To look to the seas, our vast oceans, so we can sustainably util ise the resources within these oceans. With this in mind we propose to run a pilot within the primary and secondary school sector, which will introduce our school children to the world of bio-marine, to the great advantages of sea vegetables and to the many uses of sea plants, which can be util ised across many f ields. Also we will highlight the many benefits of eating marine produce, such as oily f ish, shellf ish and crustaceans, which are packed with those essential fatty acids, which could offer huge health benefits to the next generation.We also intend to educate the student to the use of raw materials, such as the shells from shellf ish, which can be util ised to produce calcium carbonate (limestone), where it can be recycled as a building material in the construction industry, along with other uses. Also we will educate pupils about how the waste materials from the processing of f ish and sea plants can be util ised to the benefit of society, rather than being disposed of in traditional waste disposal venues. This pilot is followed by European agencies involved in education and the bio-marine sciences, which are campaigning to get bio-marine sciences onto the national education curriculums at primary and secondary level across Europe. By running this pilot in Mayo we intend to support a pan-European init iative, by opening education pathways to bio-marine sciences to pupils in the primary and secondary sector; which would open avenues to employment within bio-marine industries. The reality is that we face a problem of feeding the world with an ever-increasing human population, but we should not lose hope, we should turn again to the sea, to that of our greatest natural resource. The sea saved many Irish in past and it will do so again, provided we manage it correctly and farm the sea in a sustainable manner. We as a nation owe it to ourselves and to the next generation to make this a reality. So let us embrace this init iative and open young minds to the world of the bio-marine.

Ballina, Co Mayo.

Many of you maybe don't realise that your unislim leader has been on the same weightloss journey as her members. I myself joined in '99 and f ive months later I

had shed two and a half stone and kept it off over 16 years later. I know what it feels like to be overweight! I've been there. Never feel that you can't face me or feel ashamed as I know what you're going through. For many people summer can be a hard time to lose weight. Kids are on holidays, weather is warm and there's more temptation around. This is the time not to give up though! I managed to lose my weight during summer so it can be done. Losing weight is not something you do for 6 months. It 's about making lifestyle habits that you can stick with for l ife! So if you're out there and needing to lose a few pounds but you're thinking

about waiting til September until summer is over then my advice is don't wait. You could be at or at least near target weight by the time September comes. Remember also class continues all throughout summer. Contact Maureen 086. 3132340 for more info. Belmullet Wednesday 6.45pm over Co Op. Crossmolina Thursday 8pm GAA grounds

The Corncrake and Other Activit ies in ErrisAfter learning - re-learning to be more exact - my cúpla focal in an Irish lesson with Agatha Hurst, ably assisted by her daughter Róise, (who taught us all how to play a new card game as Gaeilge), we were invited to paint the town red by another of the scholars, Rosaleen, in aid of the Tidy Towns effort. Actually, it wasn't the town and the paint wasn't red; my bit was the top rail only of the section of wooden enclosure on Church Road leading into Áras Inis Gluaire where the Irish lessons were conducted. Why, you might well ask. Well, as everything was free - paint, brushes, my time - I could hardly refuse such a generous offer. Feel free to admire our handiwork any time you are passing. Crit icism may be given, in writ ing only, on a very high denomination Euro note to any Tidy Towns Committee member. Of course, if you feel that you could do better .And - I'm glad you asked - the colour was gorm. The corncrake tour? Actually, it all went very well from the start with an excellent fáilte romhat and introduction by Rosemarie Mangan of Erris Beo, all the way to the f inish. Me and Róise, the young card sharp I mentioned previously, heard four of them;- one at the back of Barhauve church and three in Emlybeg South. It was when I heard the three separate birds calling on our last stop, that I knew that they were real thing and not tape recordings. And the Irish lessons? Priceless, were it not for the fact that the cost - including a cupán tae nó caife, was all of ?3.00 for a full hour in such delightful company as those already mentioned plus in alphabetical order, Angela, Joanne, Katherine, and Nicola, some of whom had never learned Irish before, proving that, l ike me, you are never too old, or l ike them, too young (extra brownie points for l iomsa) to learn new skills, or put old ones to new use, l ike painting. And the winner, if you are interested, of Róise's card game was . . . Joanne, ó Ceanada. By Liam De Paor.

RnaG Dear all, There's a lady presenter on RnaG who occasionally does an interview with a very young girl f rom Donegal - (I think).It doesn't matter, if l ike me, you cannot understand a word being said between the two, as the chemistry between the pair is such that it will t ickle your serotonin receptors.To see what I mean, tune in to An Saol ó Dheas that was broadcast on Monday July 5th, about halfway through the programme; it should brighten up the grumpiest persons day like a supernova.At the very least, it shows that we Irish do not need to spend hours in a pub getting drunk, to experience the ''craic''.The fact that the interviewee knows more and better Italian than I do Irish, only adds to the wonder. Liam De Paor.

Legends of Irish music & song The FUREYS, renowned for their hit songs ?I will love you?, ?When you were sweet 16?, ?The Green f ields of France?, ?The old man?, ?Red rose café?, ?From Clare to here?, ?Her father didn?t

l ike me anyway?, ?Leaving Nancy?, ?Steal away? etc will perform in concert in Áras Inis Gluaire on Friday 14th August @ 8pm Booking Essential as limited seating available! The FUREYS have been entertaining audiences worldwide for 37 years, audiences that have included former Australian Prime Minister John Howard, Former Irish President Mary McAleese and the late Pope John Paul while Tony Blair has publicly stated his favourite peace song of all t ime is the FUREYS ?Green Fields of France?. Recently Ireland President Michael D Higgins attended their concert in Dublin?s National Concert Hall. The band was formed in 1978 literally by accident. George, Paul and Davey were playing in Denmark with their own band called the Buskers and Eddie and Finbar, while touring in Germany were involved in a road accident. When George and Paul got news of the accident they immediately travelled to Germany to be with their brothers. They then decided that they should all be playing together and this was the start of the FUREYS. Inevitably changes have occurred over 30 years. Their brother Paul died suddenly in June 2002 and Finbar left the band in December 1996, however George and Eddie have continued to delight audiences on their tours and have just released a new CD ?The times they are a changing? The oldest of the brothers, Eddie Furey left home in 1966 and travelled to Scotland

at the time of the great folk revival where he met and shared accommodation in Edinburgh with then unknown folk singers Billy Connolly, Gerry Rafferty and Alex Campbell, now all famous in their own right. In 1969 with his brother Finbar, he was the special guest for the Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem throughout the USA and Canada. In 1971 he moved to mainland Europe where he toured for seven years, building up a huge following particularly in Germany. Dave Stewart from the Eurythmics has credited Eddie with teaching him his f irst chords on guitar when they met up in the North East of England while Dave was stil l a teenager. The FUREYS are responsible for some of the most stirring music ever to capture the public imagination. Their folk based music has received standing ovations in some of the biggest concert halls of the world and they credit their musical ability to their parents, Ted and Nora, who were well known musicians themselves. They encouraged their sons to play music from a very early age and there was live traditional music in their house almost nightly. Their emotive songs stir many emotions? . tears and laughter, sadness and joy. A FUREYS concert is always a night to remember www.thefureys.com.

Tips from Irish Water Safety on swimming in pools when holidaying abroad.1. On arrival at a holiday centre, which has a swimming pool, do not allow children to go immediately to the swimming pool until you have checked out the safety arrangements. On many occasions there may not be any lifeguard on duty.2. It is unwise to go for a quick swim after a lengthy car journey.3. Never swim after consuming alcohol or food.4. Obey all the usual safety rules that apply in any properly run pool e. g. no running, no running dives, no horseplay etc.5. Be particularly careful of young children wandering off .6. Check for pool depth markings. There may not be any so you must check the depths yourself if you are a competent swimmer.7. Ensure that you do not dive into shallow water.8. Watch out for children/baby pools that may be next to the main pool without any barrier between them.9. Watch out for sudden drops or changes in the gradient of a pool f loor.10. Check for missing, uneven or slippery tiles surrounding or in the pool.11. Do not swim or do not allow children to swim in a pool with discoloured water.12. Always swim, or surf, in areas patrolled by lifeguards.13. Swim in the designated swimming area when swimming in the sea. Normally, the red and yellow f lags indicate the zoned area for swimming.14. Swim with family or friends - never alone.15. Swim within your depth and parallel to the shore.

Well done to the Gaelic U10 Boys Community Games team who reached the County Final and fought a close battle with Turlough on Saturday (20th June). Unfortunately, the boys came second place in this instance, but should be very proud of themselves in securing Silver County Medals. This team only came together in March this year, and played an excellent f inal. Thanks to John Gaughan who put so much into the guys, the training and the games. Thanks to Tom McAndrew and Ciaran Rabbett on their 'Assistant Manager' duties and also to Eamon McAndrew and Derek McDonnell who also assisted. Thanks to Belmullet GAA for the use of their facil it ies and especially Rosaleen Reilly who was so helpful. Thanks to Tom Gaughan and Noel Walsh for all your help with kit and jerseys.
