CLAREGALWAY AGRICULTURAL SHOW
Preparations are well under way for the forthcoming Claregalway Show. The Show
Queen has already been selected and the title for 2002 goes to Sheena Tierney,
Cregboy, Claregalway. Sheena was presented with a perpetual trophy, a crystal
plaque at a function in Terry Brennan's Central, Loughgeorge by Sponsor Tom
Dempsey of Tom Dempsey Interiors, Oranmore. Sheena looked radiant with her tiara
and sash.
The Show will take place on Sunday the 18th August in Duffy's Claregalway Equestrian
Centre, Rockwood, Claregalway. The Show Committee is once again indebted to
the Duffy family for the use of their grounds. It has proved an excellent venue
each year. There will be 217 classes this year consisting of Horses, Ponies,
Donkeys, Cattle, Sheep, Goats, Dogs, Pets, Home Baking, Crafts, Farm produce,
Photography, Flowers, Art, Jam and several classes for children.
The Claregalway Show is a day out for all the family. Competitions taking place throughout the day include Bonny baby, Junior Miss, Junior Mister, Twins, Best dressed Lady, Glamorous Granny and additional side shows.
For further information, contact Madge Fahy, Lakeview, Claregalway. Tel. 799098
NECK CARE
Its not just around your eyes that the first signs of ageing show - your neck
is just as much at risk.
Cleanse - when you cleanse your face of daily grime and make-up, don't
forget to cleanse your neck, which can also have some make-up on.
Exfoliate - and use a mask at least once a week to stimulate circulation
and get rid of dead cells.
Moisturise - the skin on your neck has only a few fat cells so it has
difficulty retaining moisture. Use a rich nourishing cream to keep the skin
smooth and prevent it drying out. There are special neck creams available, but
a good all-purpose neck cream moisturiser works just as well.
For further information, contact Evelyn Kitt.
CHILDHOOD ECZEMA
Childhood eczema, sometimes called atopic or infantile eczema, is a fairly common
hereditary condition, which affects one in every eight babies. The skin becomes
irritated and inflamed. It feels very itchy, and the child instinctively scratches,
which aggravates the condition and can lead to the skin becoming broken and
raw, and even in severe cases to infection.
At what age does childhood eczema occur?
Babies often tend to have dry skin soon after birth. This usually settles down
naturally after the first few months of life. Childhood eczema generally first
appears between the ages of 6 months and 2 years.
Keeping eczema under control:
Emollients are the treatment of choice and should form the basis of regular
daily treatment. Application of emollients reduces roughness and scaling, the
itching and irritation are also relieved.
How to stop a child scratching?
The scratching associated with eczema is particularly hard for babies and children
to resist, as the itch can be unbearable for them. Scratching often leads to
the skin becoming sore and inflamed, eventually cracking and bleeding and may
become infected. An effective way to stop a baby scratching is to use cotton
mittens, both during the day and at night. Fingernails should be kept short
and clean to avoid infection. Liberal use of emollients and the use of bath
emollients is the best way to rehydrate and moisturise the skin.

Feel Good with Some Exercise
Claregalway Physiotherapy
Exercise is a word that haunts many of us as were are constantly reminded that
we should exercise more, that we should have exercised more in the past and
what will happen if we don't exercise more in the future.
Many of us know or have that super fit athletic friend who puts us to shame
as we hog the sofa for yet another rainy night watching the latest episode of
"Friends" when we could be out jogging for that half hour!
Getting fit and exercising does not necessarily mean spending hours puffing
and panting with reddened faces and nothing to look forward to only the prospect
of stiff achy limbs for the next few days.
Basically, exercise is any activity that raises our heart rate above its normal
resting rate, and to get fit we need to sustain this activity for 20/30 minutes
on a regular basis. Our body's ability to get through the day with sufficient
energy reserves is a reflection of how fit we are; remember that optimum levels
of fitness differ for every individual.
The beauty of exercise and fitness is that we can set our own goals and limits.
How we choose to get fit and what exercise we do is up to each individual, so
it can be going for a walk, swim, cycle or gardening or more formal training
with a team jogging, doing weights in a gym etc. Just remember that whatever
we choose to do we should enjoy it otherwise we will not keep it up.
The rainy evening should not stop us pulling on a coat and getting out there
but for those who really dislike the outdoors and the rain there are a growing
number of gyms and swimming pools that would be delighted for us to while away
a few hours with them.
All we need to start is a pair of good comfortable shoes, which give good support;
these are worth spending money on, some comfortable clothing, an exercise we
enjoy and maybe a few friends to help us along.
So why should we exercise? And what are the benefits?
When we are exercising, we are stretching and strengthening our limbs, during
walking, or any activity, the rhythmic movement of the limbs increases the blood
flow to the muscles in the arms and legs, which is good for joints and muscles.
Joints, which are stiff from not being used or from arthritis, can benefit from
gentle exercise to loosen them out and ease pain.
If we exercise for a period of time 20/30 minutes, this will make the heart more efficient, as it is gently pushed to work harder. A more efficient heart will mean a fitter heart that is less likely to give problems like heart disease, heart attacks, and angina.
As we are exercising, we tend to breath more deeply as we need more air to
keep up with the exercising muscles. Taking deep breaths helps expand the lungs
so that they are being gently exercised also. This helps especially with people
who have mild chest problems to get more out of their lungs.
By improving the efficiency of our heart and lungs capacity to work and building
up strength and stamina we are helping our bodies to cope better with the stresses
and strains placed on us during our daily life, thereby improving fitness.
Exercise is very important for women as it plays a major role in the prevention of osteoporosis, a bone thinning disease. By exercising through our teenage years we can build healthy strong bones and help to prevent this disabling disease later in life. However, it is never too late to start.
Apart from all these benefits, the most important one is the feel-good factor we usually experience from exercise. The experts tell us that when we exercise our bodies release hormones that can give us a small high as well as have a little pain killing effect. This is all good news for the body as this can make us feel younger and full of energy.
How often do we sit at home and think of doing some exercise and dreading it only to feel so good when we actually complete whatever we set out to do, be it walk, swim, jog, go to the gym or take part in team training. Not to mention the self satisfied feeling of knowing that there are a lot of people who are sitting down at that time wishing that they too could get up off their rear ends and do some exercise.
A few words of caution before you all jump up and go mad exercising. It is important to always stretch well before and after exercise and to increase the rate of exercise gradually also you must never experience pain when you are exercising, if you are in doubt or need some tips on the correct exercise and stretches for you and your lifestyle consult your chartered physiotherapist.
Getting started is the most difficult step but once you have started you will
not look back and soon begin to reap the benefits of a healthier lifestyle,
so get out there and enjoy!

walk for Galway Rape Crisis Centre and raised a total of €2,020. The Galway
Rape Crisis Centre has done very valuable work for victims and all monies raised
will hopefully help its existence to continue as they are currently striving
to keep afloat financially.
Thank you to all our sponsors - your generosity has been much appreciated.

Editorial
Recently I came across a very enterprising young man in Claregalway, who without
doubt will have a great future as a cartoon artist. His drawings are absolutely
brilliant and so professional. His name is Morgan O'Brien from Kilgill. He held
a few courses in Galway during the summer for children and it proved very popular,
especially for children with an aptitude for drawing. He enlightened the children
with his ideas and they all came away with their own portfolios at the end of
the week. Keep an eye out for this young lad - only 18 years old. It's great
to have such raw talent in our midst.
Well done to the Badminton, Mini-Olympic Handball and Hurling teams who will
represent Connacht in Mosney next month.
Until next time, Josette
The Cub Group have gone on various outings recently which include horse riding in Rockmount riding Centre, wall climbing in the Sports Centre, N.U.I.G. and they went on a camp out to Esker in Athenry on the weekend of 8th/9th June last.

INTERIOR DESIGN - HINTS & TIPS
Mediterranean Style
The style you choose is usually the one with which you feel most at home with.
If you like living informally, surrounded by your possessions, you probably
like a cosy traditional look, like that of a country cottage or an Edwardian
villa. But if you like space, you may go for an uncluttered look, where every
object counts and contributes to the style and where everything that’s
not in use is stored behind closed doors. You may have one style throughout
the house or various ones in different rooms. But try to keep the one you are
sure you like for rooms you expect to spend more of your time e.g. the kitchen
or living room. That doesn’t mean dull, it’s just that bold colour
schemes and daring decorative ideas can lose their charm, if you see too much
of them. It can be a good idea to try out more demanding schemes in small areas
first.
The Mediterranean Style is one of those that I categorise under “other styles” (Jan/Feb article). It is a style that stirs up memories of holidays, clear blue skies and whitewashed houses. We might not be able to do anything about this dreadful summer we are having, but it is a style that can be adapted to bring a feeling of sun and warmth to our homes. Mediterranean homes have thick, whitewashed stone walls and small recessed windows, which keep out the sun and heat during the summer and tiled floors made for extra coolness. Most daily life takes place in the open air, so most homes have a shaded terrace or a patio. If you like a relaxed, down-to-earth decor, this may be the style for you. It can be readily adapted to suit a modern house, especially those with a patio. It is less suited to a period house.
The emphasis is on natural raw materials, such as wood with a hand-crafted finish. Furniture and accessories look as if they have been acquired individually, maybe handed down from one generation to the next. Each item lovingly chosen – an unusual shape, a beautiful colour or an interesting texture. The overall effect is one of harmony, which is relaxed rather than over coordinated. Colour is very important, with bright royal blue, saffron yellow, brick red, olive green and dusky pink – on tiles, fabrics and pottery and in more muted tones for painted wooden furniture against a background of colour-washed or fresh white walls.
Surface – Wall and Floor coverings
Rough plastered stone walls are traditional, but painted plain walls are just
as good or create a textured look with colour washes. You could paint the walls
white or try gentle muted colours that are of the Mediterranean countryside
and of buildings faded from the hot sun. For example yellows and apricots reminds
one of fields of sunflowers. The aim is to create a feeling of calm, reflected
light and spaciousness – cooler colours work best in well lit sunny rooms
and white brightens rooms with little natural daylight. In a kitchen use plain,
mini-print or hand painted glazed tiles, vertically or diagonally behind work
surfaces. They can also complement hand-painted pottery.
Floors with plain, stripped or painted wooden floorboards or terracotta tiles
give a natural relaxed look. You could use vinyl floorcovering that looks like
tiles or stone. Fitted carpet isn’t really needed in warm climates, but
sisal or rush matting is often used. Also rugs are a good choice.
Furnishings
Mediterranean style furniture typically looks old or at least not new –
plastic is definitely out. You can transform less expensive furniture with antique
staining and waxing, painting and distressing or by colour washing with soft
pastel shades. Look in second-hand shops for old pieces. Furniture should be
robust and simply shaped. Choose from sofa, free-standing cupboards, chests
and sturdy dining table. Dining room chairs can be identical or an attractive
mixture. Tied chair cushions can add a touch of colour and comfort. Beds can
be solid traditional or neutral timeless look in wrought iron or wood. Mediterranean
style beds often have a romantic air – four posters and billowing canopies.
Drapes at the head of a bed can make even the plainest bed look romantic.
Choose cotton or cotton-like fabrics in rich red and russet, mustard yellow,
royal blue, and deep green or in softer pastel tints, such as peach and pale
yellow to go with bed linen and any upholstery. Sprigged floral, paisley designs
and bright modern abstract fabrics all capture the style.
Window treatments are informal. Hang a simple curtain from a wooden or wrought
iron pole, hide a plastic rail with fabric pelmet or use solid coloured or striped
roller blind. A rough, hand-painted glazed pot or bright red geranium on a sill
add a Mediterranean touch to a featureless window. You can add Mediterranean
style shutters to the inside and paint them, including window frame and sill,
they can look good against a white wall.
Lighting / Accessories
Lighting is very important, harsh overhead lighting can destroy the atmosphere,
instead use wall and table lamps. Lamps with plain shades on candlestick terracotta
or glazed ceramic bases are ideal. You can supplement these with functional
lighting such as recessed ones. You can have a drop light with simple metal
shade over a dining table. Very modern lighting shades or fussy traditional
styles are unsuitable.
Just one or two accessories can evoke a Mediterranean style. Hand-painted blue and white glazed pottery has a particularly Spanish feel. Pieces with brightly coloured decoration works better than fine china. Glass can also add to the décor. Use colourful tablecloths or place-mats to add a splash of colour. The Mediterranean kitchen is a working kitchen, so the more utensils, crockery and raw ingredients on display the better. Have hand-painted dishes in colourful or earthy tones. Keep attractively bottled French condiments such as cooking oil and vinegar on display. Oregano, sage, parsley and thyme are favourite Mediterranean herbs, so put them in a terracotta window-box on the sill.
If we don’t get a summer or you can’t go abroad for a holiday maybe you can create some of the atmosphere in your home with this style or maybe take one or two of the ideas from it. No matter which style you choose, most of us don’t want to live in a museum piece or a modern showcase, we like to have practical and comfortable homes.

LOCAL LAD JOHN EGAN WINS AGAIN
The top Irish Junior swimmers competed recently in the Age Group Championships,
which were held in Ennis. Swimmers aged from 12 to 16 years from all over Ireland
competed for the title of Irish Champion. The Galway Swim Club had excellent
results and impressive personal bests on their way to claiming a total of 11
gold, two silver and 14 bronze medals as well as finalists and top 10 best in
Ireland rankings in many events.
One of the youngest swimmers on the team John Egan of Carnmore, Claregalway,
took the Irish title in the boys Under 13 100m backstroke. His exceptional swim
of 1.07.17 was two seconds inside his best time and also earned him a Connacht
Record.
As a result of his swim, John was also selected to represent Ireland at the British Age Group Championships to be held in August in Sheffield.
LOCAL OARSMEN
Local lad Niall Farrell was a member of the unbeaten Bish Junior 16 Eights who
recently finished off a season of wins by taking the title of National Champions
in this category. Following wins in Portadown, Carlow, Cork and Galway in which
they beat off stiff opposition including rivals the Jes, many from this crew
will go on to represent Connacht in the upcoming Inter-Provincial Race in Iniscarra,
Cork in August.
Eoin Glynn, also a local lad, was part of the Bish Junior 18 Eights who were
narrowly beaten in a nailbiting race which many agreed was the best race in
this category for a long time. They were beaten by a mere few feet by Neptune,
a club in Dublin which has over 130 championship titles to its name. However,
this is a young Bish Crew and they are hopeful to come away with the Championship
title next year.
Well done to both lads and best of luck for the future.
Carnmore Hurling News
U12 City League Final
Carnmore 2:4 Moycullen 0:2
Carnmore claimed their first title of the season with a fine win over Moycullen.
On their way to the final Carnmore had victories over Sylane, Moycullen, Oranmore,
Spiddal and Rahoon. On the day of the final Carnmore were faced by a physically
big and strong Moycullen side and at the outset it looked like it was going
to be a difficult task to overcome them. Carnmore had beaten them in an earlier
encounter but on that occasion it was close. On this day though the young skillful
Carnmore side were really on song and scored two critical goals, the first during
a tight first half period and the second a goal to grace any occasion in the
second half. Danny Cummins gathered the ball in his own half, delivered a pass
to Donnie Fox who burst his way through to the 20 meter mark before laying a
pass to Stephen Nally who drove a tremendous shot to the top corner of the net.
This goal sealed Carnmore’s fate and crowned them City League champions
for 2002.
U12 Championship
Carnmore 4:8 Rahoon 1:1
On a very windy day in Westside Carnmore overcame a game Rahoon side in the
first round of the U12 championship. Conditions were difficult but on the day
Carnmore took advantage of the wind in the second half to run up a considerable
score.
Carnmore 2:8 Oranmore/Maree 1:0
Carnmore piled on incessant pressure to the Oranmore /Maree goalmouth during
this encounter which in the end paid of with some fine points scored from open
play.
Carnmore 2:3 Liam Mellows 2:2
A very close contested game with Carnmore running out winners by a single score.
Emmett Feeney had a good game in the goal making some critical saves while Michael
Caufield had a commanding game out the field. On the day the goals by Stephen
Nally and Philip Noone were got at critical times in the game.
Larry Carroll U14
Turloughmore 4:3 Carnmore 0:3
The Larry Carroll tournament with teams from Turloughmore, Abbeyknockmoy, Annaghdown
and Carnmore was played to the end of May. Carnmore reached the final but on
the day were outplayed and outscored by a strong Turloughmore side.
U14 Championship
Carnmore exited the championship at the end of May when they were beaten in
Ballindereen by Tynagh. Unfortunately conditions for this match were atrocious
and was difficult for both sets of players. Carnmore had started the championship
well with good wins over Abbeyknockmoy in a tough match, a win over Liam Mellows
in a very one sided game, a loss to Cappataggle by 1 point in a very exciting
game and a win over Moycullen in the preliminary Quarter final. Unfortunately
they met with a game Tynagh side in the Quarter final proper and it was not
to be for Carnmore in 2002.
Community Games
The Galway community games were played in Lackagh on the 22nd of June. For this
tournament it was and interesting partnership of Carnmore/Claregalway joined
with Turloughmore/Lackagh. The side was coached by John Carr, Pat Burke, Gerry
Fox, John Fox and Tony Badger. In the first game Claregalway/Lackagh defeated
a fancied Athenry side, who had already beaten Clarinbridge by a single point.
The Claregalway/Lackagh side ran up a 11:9 to 2:4 scoreline with the final goal
coming from Damian Carr just before full time.
Claregalway/Lackagh faced Killimor in the final. Killimor had already beaten
Moycullen in an earlier round. The final was a good game of hurling with great
scores got by both sides. Claregalway/Lackagh had played with the wind in the
first half and led by 2:4 to 1:2 at the break. Was it to be enough? In the second
half Claregalway/Lackagh with good performances from Danny Cummins and Gary
Burke, went up a gear, scored a further goal and 6 points and ran out winners
on a scoreline of 3:10 to 2:6.
The team now goes forward to the Connaught final on the 20th of July in Castlebar.
THOUGHTS TO PONDER
Childhood: the time of life when you make funny faces in the mirror.
Middle Age: the time of life when the mirror gets even.
There are three periods in life: youth, middle age and "how well you look".
At twenty we don't care what the world thinks of us; at thirty we start to worry about what it thinks of us; at forty we realize that it isn't thinking of us at all.
A diplomat is a man who always remembers a woman's birthday but never remembers her age.
Middle age is when instead of combing your hair, you start "arranging" it.
You know you're getting older when your doctor, your dentist, your plastic surgeon and your beautician all drink champagne on your birthday.
You know you're getting older when a fortune-teller offers to read your face.
CARNMORE GOLF CLASSIC
Carnmore held the annual golf fund raising event on the 20th and 22nd of June.
This was a very successful event with excellent sponsorship and a full compliment
of teams taking part. With the weather up until this time being predictably
bad it was an anxious week for the organising committee but in the end it turned
fine!
This year the CARNMORE CLASSIC moved to the Athenry Golf Club, a fine course, excellent clubhouse and catering staff. The golf, the food and the welcome was enjoyed by all on both days of the event. A very special thanks to Athenry Golf Club and all the staff involved during the organising and ultimately the event itself.
The committee would particularly like to thank it’s sponsors for the event,
the main sponsor, Michael Grealish, Carnmore Village
and sponsors: Grealish’s Pub
Harry’s
Glynn’s Centra
Dunleavey’s, Claregalway
Sean Crowe
Glass Center
Hanley’s Menswear
Terry Brennan’s
Galway Bay Golf Club
Thomas Fox, Ballinasloe Tyres
Galway Golf Club
Summerfield Bar
Conneely Furniture
James Giles, Claregalway Facia & Soffit
Iggy’s Bar, Athenry

and also the many sponsors of team entries.
The event could not have gone so well without the many participants that took
part, some in less than “nice” conditions. A very special thanks to
all involved.
All prize winners were presented at Grealish’s pub on the Saturday night
with first place prize going to a team of hearty Turloughmore men, a glitzy
weekend away awaits them! The winning team was John Morris, John Forde, Jimmy
McGrath and Mick Collins. Congratulations to them and all the prize winners.
We look forward to next year! - Donal Devereux
