DOUBLE CELEBRATION FOR CASTLEISLAND
World Cup fever may be over for another four years but
the ‘Beautiful Game’ was celebrated in Castleisland at
the weekend. There were celebrations in the town
following the phenomenal success of Castleisland AFC
following their League and Cup double. On Sunday
Mounthawk Park, Tralee was the venue for the
Greyhound Bar Cup final where the opposition was
Listowel Celtic. One of the stars on show was Castleisland
striker Sean Brosnan who ensured victory for the Island
with two stunning goals. The Castleisland victory was
sweet for Pa O’Rourke who also scored for the winners
in their 3-1 win. Two late goals in the space of three
minutes clinched the title for Castleisland. There were
two changes in the Castleisland side from the Cup
winning team that defeated Listowel with Sean Og O
Ciardubháin starting at midfield replacing Pierce
Brosnan and Mike Hanifin replacing Maurice Hickey.
Castleisland had a dream start……scoring inside the first
25 seconds thanks to the alert Sean Brosnan. Listowel
responded with a goal but thanks to a string of top
drawer saves from goalkeeper Kevin Moran the scoreline
remained 1-1 well into the second half. In the 80th Sean
Brosnan shot from 30 yards on the wing which went in
at the far post for a magnificent goal and one of the best
strikes seen at the Tralee venue in decades. Three
minutes later the title was sealed when super sub Pa O’
Rourke, a player with the club for the past 22 years,
rounded a defender and the goalkeeper to slot home a
memorable goal. Castleisland were worthy champions
and captain Aidan O’Callaghan was given a great
reception as he was presented with the cup by the
secretary of the KDL John O’Regan. The Man of the Match
Award was presented to Sean Brosnan Castleisland:
Kevin Moran, Barry Lynch, Aidan O’Callaghan, Paul
Carmody, Mike Hanifin, Dean Poolman, (Jonathan
Downey, 54), Shane O’Loughlin, Sean Og Ó Ciardubháin,

SLEEK CARS AND BIKES AT THE BALLYMACELLIGOTT VINTAGE RUN
The roads around Sliabh Luachra
were a sea of colour last weekend
when the Ballymac Vintage 5th
annual run revved past towns and
villages in the region. The event on
Friday evening was in aid of the
Rosemary Centre, Tralee. More than
50 cars and Honda 50 motorcycles
departed from O'Riadas Bar and
Restaurant in Ballymacelligott on a
route that passed Castleisland,
Scartaglin, Glountane, Cordal and
back to O'Riadas. “The oldest car
was a Riley 1932 owned by Richard
Bono from Tralee. A big attraction
on the night was a 1972 VW Beetle
which was purchased first in 1972 by
the late Paddy Jones of Glountane,
Cordal. This car has been restored
to its former glory and can only be
compared to the day it left Divanes
Showroom in Castleisland. The car
is now owned by Niall O'Connell
from Scartaglin,” said George
Glover, one of the event organisers.
Other cars included a 1977 VW
Beetle owned by Willie O'Connell, a
triumph herald 1971 owned by Pat
Clifford (Killarney), 1974 Ford Escort
owned by Brendan Shanahan
(Abbeydorney), a 1989 Mini owned
by Sean Hickey (Castleisland), a
1982 Fiat 127 owned by Tom
Cotter (Brosna) and a 1968
Vauxhall Viva owned by John
Casey (Castleisland). “A special
thanks to all those who took part
and donated money. A cheque for
€1,533 was presented to the
Rosemary Day Care Centre. We
would like to thank all our Some of the vintage cars that took part in the Ballymac
Vintage 5th annual run on Friday evening in aid of the
sponsors and to all who helped Rosemary Centre, Tralee.

REV UP IN CASTLEISLAND
CHARITY DAY: Enjoying the Castleisland Honda 50 Charity Run last year were Jim
Griffin, Sean Healy, Lisa Cronin, Mary Nelligan and Dan O’Connor. Pic by Outlook Pics.
Castleisland will be all revved up in
September as Honda 50, 70 and 90
enthusiasts from Kerry, Cork and Limerick
take part in an exciting challenge. The 6th
annual charity Honda 50, 70 and 90 Fun Run
takes place on Sunday September 28th in
aid of Castleisland based Oileann Beo, an
outreach training and development project
run under the auspices of the St. John of
God Services in Tralee. The event starts at
the Riocht Athletic Complex, Castleisland at
11.00 am with registration commencing at
9.30am. The run will take in a demanding
route all over North Kerry during the five
hour spin. The event, that attracted 60
motorcycles last year, will pass through
Abbeyfeale, Duagh, Listowel, Lisselton,
Abbeydorney, Lixnaw, Ballyheigue, Kerry
Head and Tralee before returning to the
finish in Castleisland. “The current
popularity of the Honda 50 motor cycle is
phenomenal with different Fun Runs all over
Kerry. In 2009 we ran our first event that
attracted more than 70 and raised €3,000
for St. John of Gods. My late brother John,
well known and loved in Castleisland, was a
service user of Oileann Beo so we decided
to raise funds for this great project and
hopefully we can raise as much money
again this year,” said Jim Griffin, organiser
of the Honda 50 Run. “The bikers will have a
full mechanical back up service. It’s going to
be a spectacular event. There will also be a
bucket collection along the route with
refreshments provided when the bikers
return to Castleisland.”
FIRIES GAA TO HOST INTER GAA CLUB GOLF
CHAMPIONSHIP
The large ball will be replaced by the
small ball when Firies GAA Club hosts a
unique fundraising event to enhance
their Juvenile facilities due to
phenomenal growth in the last ten
years. On the 2nd of August Beaufort
Golf Course will be the venue for an Inter
GAA Club Golf Championship.
“There was a time when Firies were
pushed to field a team and now with
teams from Under 8’s all the way up to
Seniors in both boys and girls there is
increased pressure for the club to
provide facilities and amenities for the
kids and the community,” said Mairtin
Driver, one of the organisers. “All the
clubs in the county have been
contacted. There are no restrictions on
the number of teams from each club. It
is a fun day out with food provided. It is
very reasonable at just €160 for a team
of 4. If golf isn’t your thing you could still
show your support by sponsoring a Tee
box. Win Pride of Parish and County
glory in your club colours. For further
details and booking contact your local
GAA club or Mairtin Driver 0876396593.”

THUNDER THIGH’S IS ALL CLAPPED OUT!!
Cheryl Cavanagh, a busy mum of 4 boys
from Templeglantine, Co. Limerick, was
embarrassed by the nick name that she
overheard herself being called by teenage
friends of her son’s…… ‘Thunder Thigh’s’.
“It was the final turning point that made
me decide that I had to lose weight. Even
though I had a loving and supportive
family I had always felt ugly and
embarrassed due to my size and tried to
avoid social situations at all costs,” said
Cheryl. An invitation to a wedding or party
filled her with dread, what would she wear,
where would she find that awful ‘tent’ that
would end up costing a fortune and she
knew it would still look dreadful. To the
outside world Cheryl showed a happy,
confident face but she was constantly sad
and crying inside. “I decided to go along
to my nearest Slimming World group and
Sliabh Luachra Outlook • Pg 6
had amazing support from my husband
Michael who decided to go along with me
to offer encouragement. When I walked
through the door I was welcomed by a
warm and friendly consultant and a lively
buzzing atmosphere. When the Food
Optimising programme was explained to
me I could not believe that I could eat so
much varied ‘normal’ food and still lose
weight. No counting or weighing, this was
the diet plan I had been looking for all my
life.” The first week Cheryl enjoyed roast
dinners, curry, chillie and rice and even
fish and chips. “The whole family ate the
same meals. When I stood on the scales I
could not believe I had lost 9lbs…..in the
first week!. This was my ‘lights on’
moment. For the first time I realised I had
the tools to do the job. My ‘Thunder
Thighs’ days were well and truly over.”
Cheryl went on to lose an amazing 7stone
3lbs. She loves going to the group every
week and describes it as ‘’one big
extended happy family, the support and
craic that you get at the group every week
is uplifting and truly unique’’. “Slimming
World has completely changed my life. It
has actually given me my life back, made
me the woman I have always wanted to be,
confident and so happy.” Cheryl says she
has also seen many health benefits to
losing so much weight such as no more
aching knee’s and chaffed thighs. Cheryl
has decided to open her own group to
help others lose weight on Wednesday
30th July at the Fels Point Hotel, Tralee at
9.30am and 7.30pm and would love to see
you there. Phone 0892263767.

to defeat a spirited Scartaglin side by 12 points in Scartaglin on Tuesday evening. Scartaglin
played with a strong breeze in the first half and went 2 points up through the lively Elaine
O’Connor. It took the Desmonds /Duagh girls a while to settle. Led superbly by Cait Lynch
at center back and Lorraine Scanlon on the 40, they soon took control of the game.
Desmonds/Duagh goal was scored by Aine O’ Connor after a quick-fire passing move. Half
time score Desmonds/Duagh 1-6, Scartaglin 0-3.
Desmonds /Duagh played with the breeze in the second half and proceeded to finish off
the game early in the third quarter with some superb point kicking. Early long ball was
paying dividends and the inside forward line of Aine O’Connor and Leanne Mangan
tormented their opponents throughout. Scartaglin goalkeeper Hannah Fortune produced
3 point blank saves to keep her team in the game. Ultimately the Desmonds /Duagh girls
proved much stronger on the night and were deserving winners. Best for Scartaglin were
Hannah Fortune, Denise Dunlea, Aisling O’Connell and Rebecka Kerin . Best for Desmonds

ST. KIERANS CYCLE……..A ROLLING SUCCESS (By Amber Galwey, PRO St.
Kierans GAA Club) Over 240 cyclists took part in the St Kieran’s inaugural cycle tour last
Sunday July 20th. The tour consisted of two routes; the short route which was 45km for
novice and leisure cyclists and the long route which was 80km for more experienced
cyclists. The cyclists set off at 10am and all those who took part had returned before
2.15pm. Many novice cyclists were delighted with their achievement which added to the
ambiance at Desmond’s pitch, where the cycle began and finished. The route of the tour
included all of the seven St Kieran’s parishes beginning in Castleisland then travelling to
Ballymacelligott, Currow, Scartaglen, Cordal, Brosna, and Knocknagoshel, before returning
to Castleisland. Cyclists returned to the finish line at Desmond’s GAA ground where they
were greeted by music and encouraging spectators. There were very welcome
refreshments provided all day at Desmond’s GAA pitch.
St Kieran’s wish to thank everyone who supported the event and they especially wish to
thank all those who helped on the day; those who acted as stewards, safety officers, those
who provided the refreshments and the committee members. Organisers also wish to
thank the local Guards, the ambulance crews, Abbeyfeale Search and Rescue, the Civil
Defence and those who provided sponsorship on the day. It was fantastic day and it was
great to see so many familiar faces take to their bike to support their local district team.
Many cyclists commented on the great atmosphere and the successful orgainsation of the
cycle- it was such a huge success that the organisers are already looking forward to next
year’s cycle. Well done to everyone who took part.

Castlegregory and Keel. In the final they faced Ardfert
in what turned out to be an epic encounter. Ardfert
started the better and led at half time on a score of 0-3
to 0-2. An early second half goal by Ballymac saw them
take the lead and with time almost up it was that goal
that separated the sides. An Ardfert goal from a 13m
free levelled the game and a draw looked likely.
However, our boys showed great heart and
determination and worked the ball up the field and won
a free from a scoreable position. This was duly pointed
and great scenes of celebrations followed the final
whistle. Final score Ballymac 1 - 6 Ardfert 1 - 5.
Commiserations to a gallant Ardfert side who really
pushed our lads all the way.
Our U8 team also qualified for their final winning their
group games against Beale, Desmonds, Beaufort and
Austin Stacks, with just one loss to Keel. The final
against Miltown Castlemaine was another exciting affair
with the Mid-Kerry boys coming out on top by 2 points.
Our lads were disappointed in the end but it was a great
achievement to reach the final. Many thanks to players,
mentors, parents and supporters for making it such a
memorable day.
FAOI 16: Our U16's return to action this Wednesday night
away to Castlegregory in Round 4 of County League. Our
lads are unbeaten in Co. League and hope they can
continue this form on the night. Best of Luck boys!
FAOI 14: BALLYMAC 3-18 CURROW 2-9
Currow were visitors to Ballymac in this Castleisland
District semi final last Friday evening. Ballymac were
always in control here, James Carmody and Liam O’Brien
with early points. Two points each from Daire Keane and
Davy Rodgers extended our lead. Diarmuid and Dara
Lynch were very busy each creating and scoring a goals.
Dylan McHugh also goaled and four more points from
Daire Keane saw us lead at half time 3-10 to 0-4, Josh,
Daire Leen, and Liam O’Brien being very effective
supplying ball to the forwards.
Cathal Dunne got the first point after the break but
Currow were more determined in this half. Four points
from, Daire Keane and Currow replied with four points.
A late surge by Currow got them two goals and a point,
our final scores coming from Darragh Broderick, Tadhg
Brick and Daire Keane who finished with a personal tally
of eleven points. We are now into the final of this
competition to be played at a later date.

for all juvenile clubs in the province last week and
Ballymac GAA Club were fortunate enough to be invited
to participate in this mini-tournament. In what turned
out to be a most pleasant and enjoyable day, Ballymac
U-12s were pitted against Ballingeary of West Cork,
Miltown/Castlemaine and Cordal. It was an 11 aside game
with space at a premium but our lads showed great
endeavour and skill overcoming the challenges of
Ballingeary and Cordal but just coming up short against
a very impressive Miltown/Castlemaine side. All 18 squad
members got valuable playing time on this pristine pitch
and everybody enjoyed themselves to the full.
FAOI 13: Our concluding game in the Coiste Thrá Lí U-13
League took place in Ballymac last Sunday evening
against town rivals Austin Stacks. Knowing that victory
would essentially guarantee us a place in the final,
things didn’t work out the way we planned. Up against a
massive and physical side, we struggled in many areas
during the initial stages but gradually grew into the
game with confidence growing. Dylan Dunne Moriarty
was a colossus for Ballymac with his selfless running
and his perseverance ably assisted by brothers Aidan
and Liam O Brien and David Rogers. Eoin Culloty in goals
is improving with every outing and corner forward
Diarmuid Lynch was a constant threat to the Stacks
rearguard. Darragh Broderick picked off some good
scores with Darragh Leen providing great support
throughout. However, Stacks imposed their physicality
and ran out easy winners in the end but not without a
fight from all our lads. Having already beaten Rahillys,
Ballymac finished a creditable third in the top division
which is no mean achievement.

CURROW SENIOR GAA CLUB NOTES
by John Fleming PRO
CO. LEAGUE: Currow travelled to Lewis
Road on Friday evening last to play Dr.
Crokes in round seven in division one of
the Co. League. Currow travelled with a
weakened side due to players abroad on
work commitments and players on
holidays. Crokes themselves were short
some players, but the town team always
have a big panel so a few players short
makes no great difference. Crokes were
first on the scoreboard and were six
points to one after fifteen minutes. Even
though Seamus Scanlon was winning an
amount of ball around the midfield area
the Crokes backs had tight control on
Currow forwards and by half time the
score was Crokes ten points Currow four.
Currow got the first score of the second
half a point, but the Crokes drove on and
by the fifteenth minute of the second half
the score was Crokes fifteen points
Currow five. A long ball from Séamus
Scanlon was not dealt with by the Crokes
backs and Timmy O' Leary was on hand to
blast past the Crokes keeper, making the
score Crokes fifteen points Currow one
goal and five points. From there to the
end Crokes added four more points and
Currow added five to leave the full time
score Crokes 0-15 Currow 1-10.
In the next round of the Senior Co. League
Currow will play Finuge at home. This
game may not go ahead depending on
the Senior Co. Hurling Championship and
the involvement of the Finuge players.
Check with any club officer for
confirmation.

CASTLEISLAND AFC…….SIMPLY THE BEST
(By Patrick Jameson, a loyal fan)
Congratulations simply must be
extended to Castleisland AFC who
completed the Kerry Double in
Tralee last Sunday with a clinical
3-1 win over Listowel Celtic to take
the Greyhound Bar Cup in addition
to the Denny Premier A League
title also won a few weeks earlier,
again over the same gallant
opposition .
It must be mentioned that the
Listowel fans and players were a
credit to their fine North Kerry
town over the course of all three
games. They have mastered the
dual art of winning and losing with
grace.
But what of Castleisland ? This is
the second occasion the club has
achieved this milestone in it’s
Sliabh Luachra Outlook • Pg 26
relatively short history. The first
double was won in 1978 when Denis
Pele Barry played up front. If
memory serves me correctly, Tom
Lynch played in goal that day.
Coincidentally, Tom’s son and
Pele’s nephew, Barry Lynch now
plays in defence with the current
crew, where he directed operations
with god-like flair and elegance all
season long.
In the eyes of this supporter, what
the team and its’ management
have achieved this season is truly
outstanding. They are now kings of
the soccer scene in Kerry. They
have brought great honour to our
economically hard-hit town and
deserve to be both recognised and
praised to the rafters. These
players are amateurs who
selflessly make the personal
sacrifices required in order to be
as successful as they can be. They
got nothing more than what they
earned last Sunday.
Team manager Mike McCarthy
along with assistant Dan Maunsell
and first team captain Aiden O’
Callaghan have all been
marvellous in their efforts to
extract the best from these
players, which they have achieved
with seemingly effortless ease ! All
concerned in the club’s
achievements ought to take a bow.
Well done lads, you deserve it.
Captain fantastic Aidan O’Callaghan who led Castleis land
Patrick Jameson.
AFC to victory in the Greyhound Bar Cup final on Sunday
last.

KERRY FOOD PRODUCER
DIRECTORY LAUNCHED
A new Kerry Food Producer Book called ‘The Kerry Food Story’ was launched at the
Institute of Technology, Tralee, by TJ O’Connor, Head of Section, Hotel, Culinary and
Tourism Department and Tomás Hayes, Head of Local Enterprise, Kerry County Council.
The 68-page book and directory which will be given out free of charge contains a listing
of over 150 local Kerry food and drink producers and includes specially-created recipes
by eight of the top chefs in Kerry using local produce. All of the chefs have studied at
the IT Tralee. The aim of the book is to remind chefs, distributors, hotels, restaurants,
retailers and local customers of the wealth of home-grown and home-produced produce
that Kerry has to offer and to give them a direct way of sourcing it. The book also
includes a list of cookery schools, information on farmers’ markets and festivals where
you can buy produce and useful Kerry websites to find out everything about local food
and drink in the region. And of course, the book includes an extensive listing of
producers who are geared up to sell local food and drink products to both businesses
and consumers.
The Directory included in the Kerry Food Story book has details of over 150 producers
in the areas of confectionery/baking, gluten-free baking, vegetables, honey, seafood
and fish, meat products, dairy produce, organic produce, retail, drinks and vegetarian
food.

“WITHOUT AUTUMN TRADE, THE
FUTURE OF SUCKLER FARMING IN
THE REPUBLIC IS UNDER SERIOUS
THREAT” -ICOS
At a meeting g with Minister Coveney this week,
an ICOS delegation of mart managers and
chairmen led by Michael Spellman, chairman of
the ICOS Marts Committee, emphasised to the
Minister the urgency of finding practical
solutions to unjustified obstructions being
imposed on the traditional trade between
Northern Ireland customers and livestock marts
across the Republic of Ireland.
There is an effective ban by Irish owned meat
plants in Northern Ireland on killing live cattle
from the Republic of Ireland. Irish (ROI)
controlled meat factories in Northern Ireland
either will not slaughter an animal, or they will
impose a £150 fine per animal, if any farmer
presents an animal for slaughter that was born
in the Republic of Ireland.
Michael Spellman, Chairman of the
“The maintenance of a vigorous live trade with
ICOS Marts Committee
Northern Ireland is a vital source of additional
competition for livestock which helps underpin
the autumn trade in marts,” said Michael Spellman.
“Farmers in Northern Ireland who bought cattle from the south last Autumn are facing a
major financial hit as they now go to sell these animals into the factories. It is a case of
‘once bitten, twice shy’ and unless the irrational and unwarranted €150 fine is removed
by the factories, Northern Ireland farmers won’t buy cattle from the south again this year.
“The immediate priority is the restoration of the traditional Autumn trade. Without this
trade it is not an exaggeration to state that the future of suckling enterprises in the
Republic is under serious threat,” he stated.
Michael Spellman said that the marts delegation had emphasised to the Minister the
importance of immediately engaging with his counterpart in Northern Ireland, Minister
Michelle O’Neill with a view to removing the obstructions to this trade.
ICOS (the Irish Co-operative Organisation Society) represents co-operatives and
organisations in Ireland – including the Irish dairy processing co-operatives and livestock
marts – whose associated businesses have a combined turnover in the region of €14
billion, with some 150,000 individual members, employing 12,000 people in Ireland, and a

FARMING OUTLOOK
IFA PUTS FORWARD
TAXATION MEASURES TO
COUNTER INCOME
VOLATILITY AND SPEED
UP FARM TRANSFER
Addressing the Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture on Thursday last (July 17th) IFA President Eddie Downey set out the
Association’s agri-taxation submission, which identifies a number of new and innovative taxation measures. If implemented,
they would tackle two of the major challenges facing Irish agriculture: income volatility and barriers to lifetime farm transfers.
“The agri-taxation review provides an opportunity to ensure the taxation system delivers coherent support for achieving
the goals in ‘Food Harvest 2020’. We can clearly see the impact of volatility in the tillage sector, for example, which, in 2013,
experienced a fall in incomes of 20% (to less than €30,000) due to a price collapse, despite improved yields. Prices in this
sector have continued to fall through 2014,” said Eddie Downey.
IFA President Eddie Downey
The proposals to manage income volatility and encourage lifetime transfer
* An income-smoothing mechanism that would operate within the income tax system, in addition to income averaging. This
would allow a farmer place on deposit a portion of their pre-tax income, in a designated commercial farming account (‘Tax
Deposit Account’). This could then be drawn down by the farmer and used for the running of his business when required,
and would be taxable in the year it was drawn down.
* A ‘Phased Transfer Partnership’ (PTP). This is a progression model in which there would a defined, phased transfer of the
family farm over a set time period. It would require an agreed transfer contract where both parent and child would work
together in partnership over the period of the phased and progressive transfer of assets. As an incentive to the farm holder
to enter into the contract they would receive tax relief on a portion of their farm income, up to an agreed ceiling. In addition
to these innovative measures, IFA has submitted a comprehensive set of proposals, covering all aspects of farming business.
In respect of income tax, IFA has proposed
* The introduction of an optional system of increased Capital Allowances. This would provide Capital Allowances of up to 50% over
the first two years.
* Extending the 100% Young Trained Farmers’ Stock Relief to all farmers, for a period of 4 years, up to 2020;
* Extension of income averaging to farm profits where the farmer or spouse has an additional source of self-employed income; and
* Introduction of an Earned Income Tax Credit to remove the discrimination in the income tax system between employees and the selfemployed.
In the areas of Farm Transfer, Succession and Land Mobility, IFA has proposed
* Retention and index-linking of the Capital Acquisitions Tax tax-free exemption thresholds, and retention of 90% Agricultural Relief.
* Improvement in the uptake of the land leasing tax exemption scheme through recognition of incorporated farm businesses as
qualifying lessees, and removal of the 40 year age limit for qualifying lessors.
* Reintroduction of indexation for Capital Gains Tax and retention of CGT retirement relief.
To encourage greater numbers of Farm Partnerships, there must be an extension of existing tax reliefs for Milk Production Partnerships
to all registered farm partnerships and reintroduction of CGT relief in the event of a farm partnership dissolution.

HAZARDS OF SUMMER DRIVING
Safety advice for driving during good weather!
The good weather does not always mean good
driving conditions as the sunshine can melt the
road surface making it extremely slippery. Also,
rain at the end of a long dry spell can mix with
dust, oil and rubber, producing a road surface like
an ice rink.
DRIVING TIPS FOR SUMMER MOTORING
Servicing: A full service is necessary at least one
full week before a long journey.
Last Minute Checks: Engine, oil, brake and clutch
fluids, battery electrolyte, tyre pressure and the
windscreen washer reservoir should be
rechecked just before the journey
Starts.
Spare Kit: Delays caused by minor faults can be
reduced by taking a small spares kit comprising
of a fan belt, radiator hoses, bulbs, points, a
condenser, pair of spark plugs and a roll of
insulting tape.
Balance: The load should be balanced, that is,
heavy articles should be placed as near to the
centre of the car as possible. Heavy articles must
never be concentrated on one side of the vehicle,
neither must luggage impede the drivers vision
or prevent seat belts from being used.
Inside The Car: Loose or heavy items in the
passenger compartment can move under braking
or cornering - this can distract the driver or jam
against the control.
Outside The Car: Roof racks must be firmly and
loaded with as low a profile as possible to
minimise the wind resistance and maintain
stability.
Also,
make sure everything carried on
the roof rack is
securely
tied
down.
country - less restricted, however, you must
remember, care and attention is still needed at
all times - there may just be a herd of cows
around the next corner!
Farm animals must be treated with patience.
Drivers meeting them should slow down well in
advance and leave as much space as possible
between the car and the herd.
Fast driving past a horse and rider can also be
dangerous - it may cause the horse and rider to
shy and throw its rider. They should be overtaken
very slowly, with as much space as possible
between it and its rider.

MARGARET’S RAMBLINGS
DRY FARMING
Agriculture may be undergoing some major shifts in the
coming years thanks to climate change and natural shifts
in rainfall levels.
That’s why some farmers are turning to dry farming,
which tackles the problem head on. It utilises minimal
trapped moisture to provide farms with what they need,
rather than irrigating, and it actually produces amazing
crops, like tomatoes packed with explosive flavour.
Without irrigation, plants don’t load up with water, and
though the subsequent crop tends to be smaller, it’s
flavourful, intense, and sweet.
Dry farming isn’t anything new, it was widely used
throughout the Mediterranean for centuries, as farmers
in regions like Greece, Italy and Morocco didn’t have an
extensive water supply to rely upon. They were forced to
utilise practices that would help the soil retain moisture
for crops like olives, and they refined dry farming
techniques for their climate. The tactics used in dry
farming include taking special care of the soil to help it
remain fertile and retain moisture, spacing crops
appropriately to reduce competition for limited water
supplies, and cultivating crops suited to low-water
conditions, including hardy cultivars that send down deep
tap roots to access buried water supplies.
However, dry farming can’t happen overnight. If farmers
just stopped watering their crops, most of them would
die. Crops need to be raised from the start with dry
farming in mind, and when farmers are growing grapes,
olives, fruit trees, and other crops that bear year after
year, they need to take time with the transition. Switching
over may require them to remove some plants in order to
achieve the right spacing, and they’ll have to work their
soil well to help it adjust from heavy irrigation (sandy soil
that allows for even drainage) to dry farming (rich, loamy
soil that retains moisture). As dry farming catches on and
consumers get excited about the amazing crops it
produces, the agricultural industry may find itself at the
forefront of another farming revolution.
DEAD RODENT INTENDED AS FOOD FOR DOG LEADS
TO BUBONIC PLAGUE QUARANTINE
An entire town in China has been sealed off and over 100
people are in quarantine following the death of a man
who contracted bubonic plague after trying to feed a
dead rodent to his dog.
30,000 people in the town of Yumen are being confined
inside of the city limits and outside visitors are not being
allowed in. The lock down comes in the wake of a 38-yearold man's death; the man reportedly found a dead
marmot and cut it up to feed to his dog.
Residents inside of the city have been advised that there
is enough rice, flour and oil to sustain them for a month.
Spreading throughout the Mediterranean and Europe,
Bubonic plague also known as the Black Death reduced
the world population from an estimated 450 million down
to 350–375 million in the 14th century.
Today, with the use of modern antibiotics, the deadly
bacterial infection can be treated; however, quick medical
intervention is required for those who contract the
deadly infection.

PIT BULL FOUND CARRYING HER SMALL INJURED
CANINE COMPANION
Animal control officers in Savannah, Georgia, are hoping
to find a loving home for a special pair of dogs who have
a unique story and an uncommon friendship.
On July 16, the Savannah-Chatham Metropolitan Police
Department issued a release outlining the unusual
situation which brought the canine friends to their
attention. The department described how the dogs,
dubbed "Jonie and Chachi," were found:
Chachi, a scraggly long hair Chihuahua mix, was suffering
from a horrific eye infection. And Jonie, a white lab-pit
bull mix many times larger than Chachi, was walking
around with Chachi in her mouth, carrying him from place
to place, stopping occasionally to lick his swollen eye.
Little Chachi's eye was so badly infected that it had
ruptured and could not be saved. Veterinarians were able
to surgically remove the eye and Chachi spent time
recuperating from the procedure.
As soon as Chachi was strong enough to be reunited with
his best friend, a reunion was arranged. The police
department described the beautiful meeting:
On Tuesday, Jonie finally was allowed to visit her old
friend and shelter staff were treated to an emotional
reunion of the two canine friends, complete with licking,
whining, caressing and finally cuddling.
The dogs have been cleared for adoption - both dogs are
up to date on vaccines, are heartworm negative and
Chachi has been neutered.
IT’S HARD TO WIN IN CALIFORNIA
As California’s severe drought worsens and officials look
to reduce water consumption in every possible way, the
state appears to be sending mixed signals as to which
water-related activity is the most outrageous.
All of California is currently experiencing drought
conditions and more than 80% of the state is classified
as an extreme drought. Despite the fact that it’s the
height of summer, peaches, nectarines, apricots, plums,
cherries and their like are much more expensive than
unusual, and of much poorer quality, too. The answer lies
in the state’s extreme drought, which is wreaking havoc
on numerous crops this year, including stone fruit.
A husband and wife team in Glendale, California have
been trying to conserve water by cutting back on lawn
watering, taking shorter showers, and doing larger loads
of laundry. Now, they are facing a fine of up to $500 for
not keeping their lawn green.
Survey results from the State Water Resources Control
Board found that instead of achieving the 20% water
reduction sought by Gov. Jerry Brown, water use actually
jumped one percent this May, compared to the same
period in previous years. As a result, the board voted
unanimously this week to impose the first mandatory
water restrictions on California residents. The regulations
seek to curb water use among urban residents by
banning wasteful outdoor watering, such as overwatering lawns, hosing down sidewalks or driveways, and
washing cars without a shut-off nozzle on the hose.
Violators could face a fine of up to $500.
On the same day the state approved the mandatory water
restrictions, the couple received a letter from the city
which stated “Despite the water conservation efforts, we
wish to remind you that limited watering is still required
to keep landscaping looking healthy and green”. The
couple were given 60 days to restore the lawn or be fined
from $100 to $500
According to the Contra Costa Water Board, lawn care is
typically the single biggest water user for the average
property and a 500-square-foot lawn can use more than
18,000 gallons of water per year. Among their tips for
maintaining a lawn while in the midst of drought
conditions: “Be willing to accept a less than lush lawn
during the drought.”
State water board Chairwoman Marcus told residents this
week that “a brown lawn should be a badge of honour
because it shows you care about your community.”
As California endures its third straight year of drought
conditions, some in the state see a slow shift away from
the traditional lawns that were once a symbol of wealth.
Some cities are insisting on drought-tolerant landscaping
for new developments and others, like Sacramento and
Roseville, instituted programmes that pay residents to
switch from grass to plants that use less water.
TURNING BRAZIL’S EMPTY WORLD CUP STADIUMS
INTO HOUSING FOR THE POOR
When developing or newly industrialised nations get the
“honour” of hosting international events, it’s common for
them to sweep their poor under the carpet and leave
them there once the festivities are over.
Long before the World Cup tournament ended in
heartbreak for Brazil, many poor locals were already
suffering for soccer. The nation forcefully demolished
more than 100,000 homes to make way for the World Cup
and Olympics, forcing families that were already
struggling to uproot and restart elsewhere as families
were relocated as part of an “urban renewal” project to
bring more athletes, fans and businesses into cleaned up
slums.
Brazil spent millions of dollars on 12 stadiums for the
World Cup. Although a couple will be reused in the 2016
Summer Olympics, there’s no long-term plan for the
others.
Two French architects know what to do with the empty,
expensive complexes: Turn them into affordable housing
for the poor by installing modular housing units between
the stadiums’ concrete pylons.
They’d be built into pre-existing spaces on the outside of
each structure while the central fields and inner seating
would remain in occasional use, and a portion of ticket
sales from soccer matches would finance the
construction and maintenance of the 1,100 square feet
units which would be large enough for a family of four.
But would the well-to-do Brazilians who’d be funding the
project pay to watch games where the poorest citizens
live? before any plan to alleviate poverty can fully work
in Brazil (or anywhere), the nation’s upper and lower
classes will have to change the way they view and treat
each other.
STRANGE EMPLOYMENT
*Watching grass grow - if watching paint dry sounds too
exhilarating, you could take a leaf out of Helen Southall’s
book, the grass expert works at British Seed Houses in
Lincoln, where her daily duties include counting out and
planting 400 seed samples and goes through them blade
by blade to monitor growth.
Ms. Southall says “People think that it’s strange when I
tell them my job is to watch grass grow, but it’s
fascinating. I wouldn’t do anything else. It’s so rewarding
to see a stretch of perfect grass.”
*Armpit sniffer - Peta Jones works as a deodorant
producer for Unilever in Australia, developing the Dove,
Lynx and Impulse brands. A big part of her job is sniffing
strangers’ armpits to check her products’ work.
*Crime-scene cleaners - there is nothing entertaining
about cleaning up a crime scene after a death but that is
the job of husband and wife Mike Nestved and Carmen
Velazquez who clean up after bodies in Orlando, Florida.
