Tommy chose to have his MBE presented locally rather than at Buckingham Palace, very appropriate for a man who loves his bonnie Glenkens and rarely strays far beyond its boundaries unless he has to. _,.. Tommy was ofﬁcially appointed as a Member of the Order of the British Empire by the Lord Lieutenant of the Stewartry, Lt. Gen. Sir Norman Arthur and toasts were proposed by Mrs Marion Bone and Mr Gordon Lindsay. The proceedings were rounded off with .r'.~;.'\ r the Lord Lieutenant’s Piper, Leah Gowans, playing the pipe tune, "T D Edgar MBE", which had been specially composed by Pipe Major ian Wernyss to mark the occasion. Tommy was born In Dairy on 30"‘ May I931. He has lived and worked all his life on the farniiy farm (Newﬁeid and Kirkland) and still takes as much pride as ever in his prize winning ploughing. Tommy's __ I contributions to the communities of the Glenkens are long and varied: Over the years he has entertained thousands of -—ipeopie in his capacity as a talented musician both on his own and as a member of several bands including Rab Fergusson’s Band (I946 50) and his own band, The Starry Nights (I950 I996). Despite retiring from the band, Tommy still performs at concerts, functions, old folks homes and charity events, often free of charge. He composes and plays his own tunes and is also a renowned and very accomplished poet. He is founder and still active member of the Gienkens 73 Club, a member of the '1 Glenkens Lions Club and is on the committees of the Glenkens Agricultural Show and Ciachan Fair.

Dates for your Diary Glenkens Gazette _ _ __ page2 LOCAL ARTISTS Nlary Clare Cornwallis Balnracleiian artist, Mary Clare Comwailis combines her love of nature with her love of art to produce colourful botanical watercolour paintings. Her favourite subjects are ﬁowers and poultry: not only does her garden include a collection of ﬂowers which she likes to paint but site keeps a stock of ducks and hens which frequently feature in her sketchbook. Mary Clare originally teamed to paint under the tutelage of the artist Valerie Saddler of Kirkcudbright before deciding to specialise in watercolours. She has exhibited at galleries in London, Brisbane and Dumfries at Galloway and welcomes private commissions. Originally from Kent, Mary Clare owned and ran an independent school in London with her husband, the actor Ian McCulioch, and now lives pennanentiy in the Gienkens. Mary Clare was inspired to paint by a wonderful collection of botanical illustrations painted by her great grandmother almost a century ago. She has recently compiled a book of these illustrations, entitled An Edwardian -L Lady’s Flower Album, which will be launched at Threave Gardens Visitor Centre on the 30* November from 6pm —- Bpm. Full details of the book and event can be found on P6 of this Gazette.

Mr Nix iis responsible for all of the conservation areas in the region and ire explained the irnpllcatious of the ‘conservation area‘ designation in relation to general planning issues. He also described the various different types of ‘listed building‘ designations and the procedure involved ill applying listed builldlng status. Mr Irving gave examples of the nrost common planning queries which arose in conservation areas and provided a list of the main restrictions which apply. He stressed however that this list was by no means exhaustive and any speciﬁc issues should be directed to the planning office in Castle Douglas for initial guidance. Plans were provided, for future reference, showing the boundaries of the conservation area and indicating the various listed buildings. The November meeting was attended by Miss Lindsay Orr from Loreburn Housing Association. A presentation was made to the Cornrnuniry Council, and the members of the ptlbllc present, regarding the proposed Lorebtrrn housing development at Carson‘s Knowe. Provided that the purchase of the necessary land from Durnfries at Galloway Council was completed as expected, the ﬁrst phase of the building work would commence in April 2006, subject to planning consent. This phase would see a total of eight houses built — four with two bedrooms and four with three bedrooms. The site would have scope for a further twelve houses in the future but this would require expansion of the sewage capacity and would therefore depend on the outconre of negotiations with Scottish Water regarding further investment in the infrastructure. The houses would be for rent and/or for shared ownership. The development was warmly welcomed by everyone at the meeting as it would help to address the long standing shortage of rented accommodation and affordable housing in the area. Tire plans, however, were a pleasant surprise to the Community Council as Loreburn had stated several times in the past that they had no plans to build in New Galloway in the foreseeable future! The other nraln topic was the proposed closure of the Clydesdale Bank in New Galloway. Although the branch has only been part time since the previous attempt to close it over eight years ago, it still plays a vital role in the town and would be greatly missed if the closure went ahead as planned. Many people felt that it was a foregone conclusion that it would deﬁnitely close this time but after discussion it was agreed that if we had taken that stance the last time, it would have closed then. it was only because of the intensive campaign conducted by the Community Council at that time that the nranagernent at the Clydesdale Bank backed down and agreed to keep the branch open, albeit on reduced hours. Encouragingiy, they also then stated that they would never close one of their branches if it was the last bank in a town. Why should we admit defeat this time? The Community Council would write a letter to the Chief Executive of the Clydesdale Bank and would urge all local people to do the same to show support for retaining the branch. Ftrrther action would also be considered in an effort to secure the future of New Galloway's bank. Festive plans have also been made to have Christmas Trees beside the burgh sign, on the Town Hall and in Mossdale. it is also hoped to irave some additional lighting decorations at the Town Hail and at any other strltable points. The Senior Cltizen‘s Clrristmas Lunch is to be held in the Cross Keys Hotel on Sunday I 8”‘ December and transport will be available as usual on request. The last Community Council meeting of 2005 will be on Monday I2“ December at 7.30pm in New Galloway Town Hail. DALRY COMMUNITY COUNCIL At their September meeting, members of Dairy Community Council were pleased to hear that the proposal for a bus shelter at the foot of Main Street has been approved. Discussion took place regarding a proposal to site a car park adjacent to the B7000 on the Knowe. it was gerreraiiy felt that this would encourage visitors to the village (including walkers) to leave their cars in a safe environment and reduce parking problems in Main Street. it was pointed out that funding for such a venture might be problematic btrt Cllr Prentice agreed to raise this proposed development with the appropriate Council officials. The Community Council‘s response to the Boundary Commission‘s proposed boundary changes was discussed with a view to a ﬁnalised version being forwarded in time for the deadline. The design of the Community Councll‘s questionnaire to canvas views on the proposed windfarm development at Biackcralg was finalised and administrative arrangements were put in place to have these distributed once the planning proposal has been submitted. Members were delighted to hear that the request for street lights to be installed in St ]ohn‘s Way had been approved and that funding was in place for this. __...L i i i i i i i i i i i .P§.€§_.c3 H-ALMAOLELLAN QOMMUNHTY QOUNCIL Baimacielian had a very successful bonfire night party in the village. Over 80 people attended the event. Tire ll‘-almacleiian Senior C=itizen‘s Christmas lunch will be taking place at the Ken Bridge Hotel on Tuesday I3 December at l2.30pm. lfthere is anyone who has not received an invitation and is eligible to attend please contact lane Douglas on 0lo44 420686. Following the results of the survey on the proposed Blackcralg Wlndfarnr, it was decided that as the result was inconclusive the Corumunlty Council would stay neutral on the issue. A total of 297 qtrestlonnares were sent out to the Baimacielian community (one to every household in the parish). Of the I32 returned, 64 were against the development, 55 were in favour and i3 were neutral. ‘Lighting up‘: we are going to light the Cirrlstmas Tree on Thursday l5th December at 7.00 pm. We will sing a couple of carols, and this will be followed by Mulied wine and Mince Pies in the village hall. All welcome.

The walk, which covered a blistering 540 miles from Londonderry, Northern Ireland to Great Omrond Street Hospital, London, raised a total of £82,000 for the charity. Over 200 supporters ioined Steve at various stages along the walk, helping to raise this impressive amount by being sponsored and collecting donations. Meningitis LiK‘s Chief Executive, Steve Dayman, who led the walk, expressed his thanks to those who supported it locally. “During the time we were in the Glenkens area we raised £533 in bucket collections alone,“ said Steve. “Without the help of the many local people who supported us on the day, we would not be able to continue our vital research into the prevention and treatment of meningitis and its associated diseases, which is being undertaken at various institutes across the UK.“ Tire charity would like to hear from families who have been affected by S l- meningitis or anyone who may wish to help the charity by fundraising or distributing educational literature locally.

He was a man of letters and languages. The other clay we received at Kenbank a large envelope addressed to him, which upon opening contained a book and a letter. My ﬁrst thought was that this must be a record postal delay but the letter was of very recent date, I8 October 2005. The book, "The Sayings of Muhammad (S)" is a 2002 reprint of 450 sayings and stories of the Prophet Muhammad printed in English, Arabic and Bangladeshi. The accompanying letter from Mohiuddin Ahmad, ex Bangladeshi vice consul of Glasgow, explained why he was sending a copy of the book. it was originally compiled and printed in i902 in English and Arabic by Sir Abdullah al Mamun Suhrawardy, sometime deputy president of the Bengal Legislature and secretary of the lnclian Moslem Association of Bengal. in the mid l930s his brother, Professor Hassan Suhrawardy, vice chancellor of the University of Calcutta, sought to satisfy a growing demand for a reprint but could not ﬁnd a copy. Eventually he unearthed one with his friend, William Gourlay, who sent him the copy he had at Kenbank. As a result it was possible for a second edition to come out in i936, in the preface of which the debt owed to William Gourlay is noted. There vwisﬁ Advert Format Size Ftammad were further reprints in I998 and 2002, the latter of which included Bangladeshi for the ﬁrst time. The idea of this being, as Mr Ahmad says in his letter, that the present community of Indian immigrants, particularly the Bengali settlers, be able to read the English and Bangladeshi scripts side by side. Ghancli read the book in 1938 and wrote saying that this collection of the sayings of the Prophet are amongst the treasures of mankind, not merely for Muslims. They omit anything that Sir Abdullah Suhrawardy saw as being unduly dated so that the whole book is relevant to today and full of wise and profound sayings such as "humility and courtesy are acts of piety”, and interlaced with a great deal of common sense, “Kill not your hearts with excess of eating and drinking". Amongst my favourites are, "Go in quest of knowledge, even unto China", “The thing that is lawful, but disliked by God is divorce", and "Trust in God, but tie your camel". Mr Ahmad thought it was timely to send another copy to Mr Gourlay at Kenbank. in acknowledging his letter and the book l said that l hoped he would agree with my idea that the book should be lodged in the Dairy village library, which was built in William Gourlay's memory.

The occasion was the centenary of the death of this remarltable son of Galloway. Those present included Dr Cowan; Mr ]ohnston, the Town Clerk; Mr Milligan, ”Kenmore Anus”; Mrs. Graig; Mr.Mitchell; Miss Paterson, ”Wellwood Lodge”; and Messrs. ]ohn and Gordon Milligan. Also present were Mrs McMillan of “Craig End”, Balmaclellan; Mr and Misses Shaw, “High Park”, Balmaclellan; and Dr McKie of Newton Stewart. The last named gentleman being a relative of Murray's, his Great Grandmother was a sister of Alexander's mother. Alexander Murray was born at ”Dunkitterick”, a shepherd’s cottage in what was described by Murray himself as a lonely glen where there was no road, and being traversed by no strangers save smugglers!

Murray’s ancestors had been shepherds for many generations, his Great Grandfather was at “Bamkirk” in Penninghame parish, his Grandfather shepherded at ”Craigencallie”, and his father was at ”Garre1y” before moving to ”Dunkitterick” before Alexander was born.

It proved a huge success and received such excellent feedback that Giant has decided to develop and re tour the show for winter 2005. Extending touring dates by an extra 2 weeks and taking this tale of woodland lite and winter magic much further afield, The Ceilidh Tree will be playing to 1500 children across the country. Touring to Duinfries and Galloway for the ﬁrst time, Giant are looking forward to introducing their work to the audience of Daliy Community Centre for one exclusive performance from the only inclusive children’s theatre company in Scotland. The Ceilidh Tree is at Dally Commuiiity Centre, Kirkland Street, Dally on Thursday I5 December at 2.30pm. It is suitable for children aged 2 5 and their families. Tickets, which cost £2 for children and concessions or £3 full price are ava'lable from GCAT on 0 l 644 4203 74 or by popping into the GCAT Shop in the High Street in New Galloway.

Andy Gray was brilliant as Sean, the drug addict, and Angela, the directorls assistant while Alan Stewart was totally convincing as the sexy star Caroline Giovanni as well as the Scots director Simon. Tamsin Tyeson of S3 thought the play was excellent. "When the two extras were mocking the director’s instructions to watch the horses galloping across the ﬁeld, everyone was in fits of laughter. i also liked the way they brought the play to its dramatic conclusion when the two extras decided to make their own film. It was slightly confusing at the start because they played so many parts but by the end l was completely enthralled by the range of characters!" The city trip is a very valuable experience for our pupils, some of whom were visiting Glasgow for the first time. Many pupils enjoyed the experience so much that they were determined to return to the city soon taking their parents with them this time. - _- On Wednesday 2*“ November all the pupils and staff at Dairy Secondary took part in their annual city trip. This year it was Glasgow, ctrlminating In a visit to the l(ing’s Theatre. Pupils also chose one other activity: some visited the Gallery of Modern Art and the Lighthouse, some experienced skiing and snowboarding at the Glasgow Ski Centre and some toured Hampden Park and the Scottish Football Museum. -7Z'5§-7-?E'3'-.71;Z5jE=I:=.';-’5=.!:-:'-:'5',-5'=¥’-5'-’5'Z'§5'Er".'=§,;ZI;r=I5?.I;'.5E;-'-""-"-'-""-"'""7"’-"=""' S the e D LH aW -' ‘_' '—--..- -...--..-,. --‘ll .. . _ _ 3-=-'=-=1-:=.ii-=:1-.'-.==.=1'-.='-.-'.=--'-":=-=:.-':--:-'=:='=-1:.-'-.-;-:-'. , '1'; '' E'L-55?-., 2:11-:€.i'-‘é-F-=.=I;:'-I3=2:‘;I;-1I-2.=2=.=;:a§-t€Eéaia%&a-2'a=¥s;; -; -;-y.---'.-§r;'/a,= =»' '-‘rs’!-":i':';’ fr . ’:.?Jr‘-‘r "'51“.

The group was set up a year ago with funding from the education authority to give children of primary school age who play E . a stringed instrument the opportunity to play together in a group. The GYS teachers have visited eight Primary ' '" -Schools in the area over the last four weeks demonstrating the different instruments, the variety of pieces which can be played on strings and the beneﬁts of playing together as a group.

"I really liked sitting in the royal box at Hampden; the seats were very comfortable and there was even a carpet on the floor. It was amazing seeing the dressing rooms too as we actually sat where all the great players had sat before. We took penalties in the warm up room and there was a machine which measured the speed of our shots. Ross Fergusson hit the hardest shot at 55mph. in the museum we played some football games and l liked seeing all the old trophies and football strips — especially the Rangers ones of course!” It ’-'-=1‘;-:-2:2-.i'='-‘-E-=5‘-.I'rZ='H"-' "I55?1:1 Robbie Struthers of S4 visited the Gallery of Modem Art.

This is due to the darker days and nights when householders use open ﬁres and heaters which if not properly guarded can cause a ﬁre. Power cuts and dark evenings see more people using candies as an alternative source of light and to provide a relaxing atmosphere. The Fire at Rescue Service advise you to ensure that you prepare for power cuts by checking that your hand lamps are working or spare batteries are available, and make sure if you use candles that suitable holders are provided. Candles have, in recent times, caused ﬁres due to being placed on Televisions and near curtains, or because household pets have knocked them over. December in particular is the busiest month for dweliing ﬁres and great care should be taken hanging decorations away from sources of heat and flame, xmas presents and wrapping paper should be placed safely away from harm. Ensure your xmas lights are kept away from ﬂammables and that they are switched off at night and when you go out. If you are celebrating this year and having a party where alcohol is present, please enjoy yourself but take extra care as many ﬁres and iniuries can be attributed to actions related to this. if you have an open fire, make sure you sweep your chimney regularly and watch out for sparks from logs. Lastly, Durnfries & Galloway Fire and Rescue Service would like to wish you a Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year, but make sure you have a working Smoke Alarm in your house, if you don't have one and oarft get one, please phone our Community Fire Safety Section on 01387 252222 y -"E::_?;.;-'| 1 e r .r -I -- - __ - - * '*'_.- Q1, ;_. 4,_ L = 1 _=1;,e-.:;'.': --..

Our distance widened as he called “Come on, get up or we’ll get caught!" And sure enough the gusts increased their shadows merging into mists. We reached the peak in circling dusk and settled soaked on spongy tufts. “Come on, get up — no time to waste! we must get down - that wind’s got tough! With slashing rain and rumbling sounds we stumbied, tumbled, zig zagged down avoiding tree trunks, boulders, thorns the heavy sky’s encroaching storm.

And the most impressive thing is that the Trust is a completely grass roots organisation. The trust is run voluntarily by its hard working creators and donations are given directly to the coordinator in Nuristan. The Tmst states; “We purposely kept the charity small so that we don't have to become an NCO and spend all the money we receive on administration. So most donations are local — we are supported by local schools and many local people.” The initial aim of the Trust was simply to open schools, as people in this remote area had no means to the education they wanted and needed so much. Then the goal became to keep them open during the war. And now the aim is to keep creating more schools and helping with necessary projects in the area. They say; “As we have the direct connection to our coordinator in Nuristan who is himself local, we are very aware of what the feelings are in the area. Nuristan has never been opened up to the outside world until now and, for the ﬁrst time, the people en masse want to be connected. What they want most are roads and education. No NGOs will work in the area where the schools are. The Afghan Schools Trust is the only working body where no one dares to go — foreign agency or government. So the people are very happy to have us providing some of the education and help the area needs.” Recently, the government has taken over the running costs of the schools which is a huge success as it shows they have faith the schools will survive, even in this remote location, and this allows the Trust to continue creating more schools and working on other necessary protects in the region.

This area was one of 20 such areas in Scotland, which had been identified by the Executive as suffering from rural deprivation. There are four other areas in Dunrfries and Galloway which qualify for this status although this is the only one in the Stewartry. A meeting was held in Balnraghie Public Hall, Laurieston, on Wednesday 18“ lanuary 2006 to discuss the allocation. Tire meeting was chaired by George Prentice (Councillor), and was attended by Derek Crichton (Stewaruy Area Manager). Ian Howie l[Stewartry LRP), Kenny Eggo (Stewartry Community Planning Co-ordinator), Colin Douglas (D H G Transportation Manager), as well as a good representation from the area's Community Councils and local residents. Initially the discussion centred on a proﬁle of the area, current problems and how best this proiect could assist in inrproving the area. The problerrr with the electricity supply to the area was highlighted, and it was agreed representations could be made re this. The fact that there was only one shop in the area, that there was only very linrited public transport, and that tirere was a desire for night classes to be held in the area were all matters raised, as was the need to enhance parking and picnic facilities in the area. All four areas had community halls and the upgrading of these would be considered. it was agreed there were three tirernes that allocated money could be used to address. These were a) improving public transport, and explore the possibility of better use of community transport and ring and ride b) local environmental improvements and c) to improve local services, with increased community iniorrnation possibly been made available. Three subCommittees were set up for this purpose and frrrther meetings would be arranged to move this proiect forward. ii anyone would like to discuss any issues concerning rural transport you can get in touch with Keith Cooper, the administrator of the GTI rnini-bus, on 01644 420374. Keith is now a member of the community transport subcommittee which iras been set up to look into the needs of the area. IN Tl-IIS ISSUE... 2. Local Artist: Joanna Gisbey Walking Festival Launched 3.

The Newton Stewart area and the Glenkens have close walking links, thanks to the 212 mile long Southern Upland Way, which connects Glen Trool with Clatteringshaws before passing through the Glenkerrs at Dairy. Organisers of the festival have recently released full details of their 2006 event. And despite attracting interest from across the country, including bookings from a couple in Australia, organisers are also keen to welconre local walkers and outdoor enthusiasts from the Glenkens. Now in its forth year, the three day festival, which takes place from Friday I2 Team we are able to offer expert guides for our more challenging walks whilst Forestry Commission Scotland's involvement allows us to make use of their excellent facilities throughout the Galloway Forest Park. " The 2006 event also marks the ﬁrst year of a link up with Lake District based independent outdoor specialists Stewart R Cunningham, who opened their ﬁrst Scottish base in Newton Stewart in 2005. Full details of the 2006 Newton Stewart Walking Festival, including the l7 walks offered, can be found at wwwmewtonstewartwalkfest.co m or call Oi 671 402770. to Sunday l4 May includes l7 guided walks with something for all abilities. Challenging open moorland treks and ascents of some of the South of Scotland's highest hills are interspersed with shorter woodland walks and town trails. Following an introductory walk and welcome ceilldh on Friday l2 May, the festival‘s base for Saturday 13 May is Bruce's Stone overlooking Loch Trool. The location provides not only wonderful walking opportunities around the scenic Glen Trool, but also acts as the perfect starting point for an ascent of the region's highest hill, Merrick and an exploration of Galloway's wild heart. Sunday I4 May sees the festival move to Kirroughtree Visitor Centre, south east of Newton Stewart. From there a range of guided forest walks are offered, suitable for a range of abilities. For the more active, there is an ascent of Cairnsnrore of Fleet while coastal and archaeological themed walks round off the festival’s offering.

Our corrrrnittee of local enthusiasts know the terrain, history and best routes through the Galloway Hills to ensure that visitors have a weekend of walking to renrember.

Acknowledging that there has been concern expressed within the Glenkens regarding the closure, Chairman Tonr Scott reassured residents that after the discussion the Community Council will formulate its response to the proposal. At the nronrerrt Dumfries and Galloway Council insist that the library, one of four facing closure across the region, will remain open in the meantinre until they have considered plans for a replacement mobile service: “Councillors decided that Dairy, Port Wiilianr, Lochmaben and Eastriggs libraries will renrain open until the possible introduction of an extended mobile library service,” said a Dumfries and Galloway Council spokesman. ii i I: i.

A-' -.- I | ' The Annual Christmas Lunch was ireld in the Cross Keys Hotel in New Galloway on Sunday I7 December. The hosts were the proprietors Mr and Mrs Roberts. Approxinrateiy forty senior citizens attended. After they received their usual dranr and welcome address, Mr Vincent said grace. After lunch the guests were entertained with carols by former and current pupils of Kells School which they themselves arranged. Miss Hannah McKenrra played the piano for the ﬁrst time before a live audience. A sub-committee of the cotmcii had made all the arrangements with the assistance from ]irn Hopkins in purchasing the raffle prizes from a wholesaler in Dumfries. At the conciusiorr of the occasion Mr Ewart Mtrir, a former cormciilor, gave a vote of thanks. Town Hall Otrr Town Hall is badly needing to be seen to in the near future. The Community Council had a representative from the Stewartry Office at their August meeting and it was discussed at length re. the state of the building and it was pointed out to him that they were putting the cart before the horse in that they repaired the wall and the ceiling on the stairway going up to the main hall (it was plastered, papered and painted) before they tackled the source of the trouble which is the water coming in from either a crack in the wall or from a defect in the roof. The green algae on the wail of the Town Hall facing Duke Street is now very noticeable and is probably due to a gutter requiring to be cleaned out. The whole building could do with being repainted. The lady members of the council were also a bit concemed about the lack of facilities in the kitchen. There is also no sign of any progress in installing toilets and nrearrs of getting up the stairway to the nrain hall for the disabled.

The occasion was the Scottish Motor Neurone Disease Association (SMNDA) AGM held at Stirling University and Magnus was there to present Sheiia with a certiﬁcate to acknowledge her service and fundraising for them. "I had no idea I was going to be awarded the certificate, ” says Sheila, who has supported the association for I2 years since her husband, Harry, died of motor neurone disease in I994, "It was a lovely surprise and I managed to express my thanks in a few words.” Over the years Sheila has raised funds by the sale of a book called Dougalfs Story. The book was written by Harry during the later stages of his illness and tells many humorous tales of the Merrill’s beloved Labrador, Dongal. Harry wrote the story with the assistance of a specialised computer which he was able to operate by using his mouth to activate an infra red beam. Copies of the book are available to purchase at the GCAT shop, priced £3 each and ali proceeds go to SMNDA. MND is a condition which destroys the nrotor neurones of the body. It causes progressive paralysis, ioss of speech and makes eating and drinking difficult, although intelligence and memory are usually not affected.

Much progress has been made over the last sbt months and here is a prolect update. The Building: Planning permission was granted by Duinlries and Galloway Council in December. There were two objections to the plans on the grounds of insufficient car parking but the Director of Planning was able to reassure councillors and members of the Stewartry Area Committee that the issue had been considered and resolved satisfactorily. It was stiggested that Car Parking in New Galloway should be put on the Agenda for the l'lE'lil[ meetings of both Kells Coinmunlty Council and the Stewartry Area Committee in an attempt to come up with a practical solution to a problem that has been discussed for the last 10 years. Funding: The funding for phases l and 2 oi the redevelopment of the building has now been secured. The tender process is underway and it is hoped to appoint contractors in March and for work to start on site in April. Plans for the buildliig are on display in the GCAT shop if anyone would like to study them more closely. I * Management Structure: At the AGM in December, _ 4.

ROYAL SHAKESPEARE CQMPANY : MINI-BUS TRIP GCAT is running a Mini-bus trip to see the Royal Shakespeare Company perfomi Part I of Chaucer's Canterbury Tales at the ice Bowl in Duinlries in February. This classic work follows a group of medieval pilgrims on their way from London to Canterbury, as they entertain each other with some the liveliest and best known stories in the English language. From the tragic and moral, to the comic and the downright bawdy, this new adaptation by Mike Poulton will give audiences a ilavour of the original Middle English in which the Tales were written, whilst making them entirely accessible and understandable to a modern audience. Part l of this production will include the Knightis, Miller’s and Nun’s Priest's tales each told in different styles ranging from puppetry and shadow play to opera and farce, mirroring the many narrative voices employed by Chaucer himself. This is the second time that the company have visited the region; last year they brought ]uiius Caesar and Two Gentlemen of Verona which were both sell out performances. These are large scale productions which can be quite a spectacle: not only because the company bring a large cast, costumes and all the other things associated with a touring theatre company, they also arrive complete with full stage, set and seating along with all their lighting and sound requirements. As soon as the RSC arrives in Dumfries on Monday 20 February, the technical crew will set to work erecting the RSC’s unique mobile auditorium. Five 45 loot articulated lorries, carrying over 50 tonnes of equipment - including everything from the auditorium, seating, costtiines and set, to the teaurn and the washing machine —- will 3 mm Dperaﬁnnal prﬁfessiorm meme!

CQQEEY DEMONETRATKONE _ Liz Cole organised a series of free cookery demonstrations, with Catherine Braid Organic Country Cook, open to all in New Galloway, Carsphaim and Dairy in nild December. Ll: gave a talk concerning her work at GCAT and then Catherine prepared several different dishes. Questions were welcomed, recipe sheets handed oirt, and free tasters offered to everybody. The recipes varied each day. The three day event proved to be such a success in temis of the numbers of people who attended and the enloyment that came from the demonstrations, that Liz is planning another for the spring. Again the recipes and ingredients used will suit the time of yearl in the meantime,‘ here are some reviews of the December denronstratlons: CQQEEEY ATLAGNE HALL IS IT FOR ME?

Lia Cole, the Coinmunliy Proiect Worker for GCAT, lntrodiiced Catherine Braid of The Green Tea House, Monlaive, who made mushroom, celeriac and stilton soup,: a pork and chestnut roll; a turkey, bacon, leek and feta quiche, and a raspberry and apple slice. A rapt audience of both men and women listened to Catherine's clear explanations and practical hints whilst she prepared the dishes which initiated questions and comments. Their conversation ceased whilst all the dishes were tasted, savoured and greatly enjoyed. Paula Cochrane, Community Worker based in Castle Douglas for Age Concern, also came, and it was an opportunity for Li: and Paula to meet those attending and answer questions. They also provided an invaluable selection of appropriate leaflets on healthy eating for us all, but particularly for the over 60$. The occasion was deemed to have been a great success as it gave people an opportunity to meet, to learn, to taste and to take away the recipes provided by Catherine as well as the pamphlets provided by Liz and Paula. We hope that this occasion will be repeated, but next time the word will have got around and we will have to move into the big hail to accommodate an even larger audience.

The meeting lrearci that a Regional Transport Partnership (RTP) will be taking over transport ftrnctions from Durnfries and Galloway Council. Most of the people involved will be the same but the new structure will allow the opportunity for more initiatives. One initiative was to combine all the transport functions of the Council in conlunction with other statutory authorities such as the Scottish Ambulance Service in one authority. This could increase the availability of minibus transport by releasing school, hospital, social services and other transport for use when not needed for their designated purpose. The new RTP, starting work in April could be instrtunental in achieving this. Practical possibilities were discussed. One popular scheme was to have a local car / taxi service to allow both commercial and voluntary use. it could meet service buses, run trips to the airport to collect visitors and possibly be involved in hospital transport depending on developments with the existing Ni-IS and voluntary organisations. This will be looked into by the GTA Trustees and a meeting called to discuss further actions once the practicability of such a scheme had been established. There was some disappointment that the Council had not been able to implement many of the changes suggested at research meetings such as better links to Ayr although some acliustments had been made such as linking the early Durnfries bus to the railway station on request. The difficulty with changes, it appeared, was that services were delivered against a contract and it was difficult to make changes until tenders came up for renegotiation in 2007.

FOOD i§§FnANUA uruiAND 5 Last month we had a big excitement at our school when James Martin came to visit us. He is a TV Chef on ‘Ready Steady Cook’ and has been on ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ too. He just did cooking with us not dancing though. The reason he came was to present Hazel Banner, P4, with her prize from the H 0 _ J J ||1 -- ---‘ Food Standards Agency. Hazel's picture saying ‘Always wash your hands’ has been used in ads all over Scotland, my sister even saw it on a bus shelter in Glasgow. Hazel got £300 for herself and our school got £1,000 which was really cool. ]ames Martin cooked some great food in our Gym Hall, the best was the Smoothie, and he was extremely funny and threw fruit and veg at the Pl s and P2s! And it was all on Border TV in the evening.

The area was brought to a standstill until the snow plough anived, except for those with four wheel drives who were quick to test their vehicles’ prowess. Most schools calleld the day off on Monday - much to children s delight! For sheep farmers, however, it is not a good time of year for such heavy snow as the ewes are either heavily pregnant or lambing so let's hope it doesn't stick around too long. ._ __ I 1 or g"-.=§»" 72*"? ?‘J’; -'\‘“:r.~ __ _ Q,is'~-.~.-_.*._¢.- 2‘. _ . 4 ‘ L '1 ' r I ‘ _‘f': 1“r‘_;_?f-‘,__ -_. _ i _ _ ,_; ,,,__._,, -' 3'iv'i5~.". 1' ‘c_ f y I" l.

Now an intenrationally renowned artist, he specialises in water colours of local nature scenes as well as technically accurate line drawings and paintings of ﬁsh and other wildlife. He is an expert on trout and salmonids, and produces exceptionally accurate and detailed portraits of these species, examples of which can be seen on his website www.robinade.co.uk. Author of two books, ‘Fisher in the Hills: A Season in Galloway’ which is now a collector's item as it is out of print, and ‘The Trout and Salmon Handbook’, Robin is working on a third book which will take the form more of a travel diary documenting his many trips to the East, especially Afghanistan. But no doubt this book will also include many ﬁshing expeditions as these are a vital part of any of Robin's travels. Robin has lirrrited edition prints available to buy, and is also happy to work on commissions.

The ﬁrst two years it was held in the Lower Town Hall until the Guild discovered its success year by year. This year 240 pancakes were consumed in no time at popularity and had to move ‘upstairs’. Each year the ladies of the Guild are overwhelmed by the support received from everyone, far and near. Now, to our astonishment, there is often a queue stretching back down the stairs! This year, the nominated charity was Macmillan Cancer Relief. A cheque was presented at the Guild’s March meeting, for £300, to Ms ]ane Watson, who spoke that afternoon on Macmillan Nurses. it is no mean feat, as the Guild ladies are few in number. However, it is thanks to co-opted members for the day, that we are able to achieve such a great This year resulted In £270 being earned for Guild funds. A grand total of almost £600 being raised altogether. Members of the Guild would like to express their thanks to the volunteers who helped out on the day, as well as a special thank you to ]irn McPhee who provided live piano music throughout the event and to Prinrrose Morrison who made over 240 pancakes! The Guild ladies appreciate the amount of support given to this event and hope to see everyone again next Shrove Tuesday (February 20"‘ 2007!). all. Four savoury and four sweet ﬁllings were on offer, ranging from curried turkey to the traditional lemon pancake. The members even found time to ‘man’ a sales table and organise a rafﬁe. i‘ I-—r.-'1-1 i i \'—§ -r- -.41?’ ‘P G‘ Glenkens Gazette égg g g g g g g g g g g g g g g THE RQYAL BURGH OF NEW GALLOWAY B KELLR PARIQH COMMUNITY COUNCIL and issues regarding disabled access have to be resolved. The Lower Town Hall has been partly relloored with new planking as it was in need of repair. The painting of the lower road, “New Galloway in Autumn” by Anna Hotchkis that used to be displayed in the lower hall has now been returned. it was away at Kirkcudbright Museum being restored and refrained and is now on display in the main hail. No council nreeting was held in March due to the adverse at last that there is a wee bit left in the kitty at the end of the ﬁnancial year so they have come up to patch the holes and resurface the worst of the damage to tide us over till next year. Tire proprietors of the Cross Keys Hotel, Mr and Mrs D Roberts, held and organised another very successful race night in aid of the local fire brigade, where a sum of over £600 was raised.

The thieves seem to be targeting properties, stealing antiques and jewellery. if anyone sees anything suspicious, eg unknown vehicle parked, they should report it to the police immediately. Rural Housing - It has been suggested that a Community Fund be set up to purchase land for affordable housing in Carsplrairn. This will duplicate the work of the Housing Trust, which is still waiting for charitable status to be conﬁrmed. It was decided to delay setting up a Community Fund until the position with the Trust was established. Loreburn is building in New Galloway and Dairy over the next year. Some discussion took place about trying to get them interested in building in Carsphairn. it was decided that it would be preferable for the Glenkens Housing Trust to have ownership of the houses as we would have more inﬂuence on who became tenants. There is a meeting of the Glenkens Affordable Housing Trust in New Galloway Town Hall on Thursday I6 February at 8pm. Everyone is welcome to attend. A representative has attended several seminars. He commented on the unhelpful negative attitudes of some Council ofﬁcials towards attracting more people to live in rural areas. Community Garden - A quote for dyking has been accepted. It is hoped that the dykes will be built in March. A letter is to be sent to landowners asking for donations of suitable stone. The Community Council will arrange for transport to the site. A working party to cut the banking and clear weed, trees and shrubs will meet on Saturday I8 February at 10am. Volunteers are to bring suitable tools. Portable Defibrillator - lain Howie, of the Stewartry Community Safety Forum will approach the Galloway Mountain Rescue Team about demonstrating the portable defibrillator next time they have a meeting in Lagwyne Hall. The demonstration to be widely promoted by means of leaﬂets and posters. Boundaries Commission - Objections to the wards proposed have been upheld. A letter in support oftlre readjusted boundaries has been sent to the Boundaries Commission. .-. ..;.

As a boy growing up in New Galloway I rernernber seeing an envelope containing large stanrps sitting in a bureau in the ianrily home. As I recall the stamps were not legal postage but consisted of slrnple stylised designs of Irilis, trees and Iochs created to advertise this area. Whether this was just the Gienkens or Galloway as a whole I cannot remember. On the envelope was the instruction to alﬁx the stamps to any correspondence being sent out of the immediate vicinity and especially overseas. I suspect that the stamps dated back to the late l940s and were an attempt at regeneration after World War II. Sadly, l cannot ﬁnd any trace of our stamps now and would love to get at least a copy of one. if anyone can help then please contact me directly at the Ken Bridge Hotel on 01644 4202] I or through the GCAT office. Happy hunting, Dave Patterson Since the last news about the Town Hall several officials from Dumfries have been to survey the work to be done on it. The work that has to be seen to is the repairs to the roof or the wall to stop the water coming in. The building has to be repainted weather conditions. Our next monthly meeting will be held on the 10"‘ April at 7.30pm. Please see the notice board for the agenda.

Breed History — a Working Dog The Border Collie became a classiﬁed breed in the early twentieth century, although Collies worked with shepherds in The Borders for hundreds of years previous to this. These dogs were bred for the sole purpose of herding sheep. As shepherds often have to work large areas of land, the dogs have been bred to be quick witted and perceptive, often responding to a whistle or a gesture over long distances and using their initiative to negotiate any obstacles. Main Uses in the Glenlcens The Glenkens has been a sheep farming area for many years and up until recently nearly every farm had Border Collies to help with the fann duties. But these days sheep fanning is in decline and farmers who do have sheep tend to ride quad bikes to rotmd them up rather than rely on the trusty sheepdog. Border Collies as Pets Border Collie Rescue recommends that only non-workers should be taken on as pets. William Wallace, who was Secretary of the Moniaive Sheepdog Trials for 33 years, has a similar view. ‘They are not really for pets — although that's not to say they don’t make good pets... but generally being kept indoors is not an environment they want to live in — they need the freedom, and satisfaction, that they get as a working dog’. But Border Collies’ intelligence and quick wits are being put to good use in the pet arena ~— if you watched Crufts this year you’ll know that Border Collies and Collie-crosses topped nearly all of the active categories, from Agility to Flyball, Obedience to Heelwork to Music. So as shepherding declines, perhaps this is the new working future for the Border Collie... Training Larry ]ones, owner oi the ‘top shop‘ in Dairy, has a seven month old Border Collie called Ben. He says he likes the breed because it is ‘trainable, intelligent and biddable ~ and needs plenty of exercise which keeps me ﬁt!’ This breed has an active mind and body, so needs a lot mental stimulation and exercise - a working sheepdog averages two to three miles for every mile the sheep are moved, so may cover up to 50 miles a day. A lot of the problems people experience with Border Collies as pets are due to boredom and lack of exercise which leads to frustration in the dog. At Border Collie Rescue, only 10% oi the dogs they receive for re-homing ‘The Killing Times’ ﬁr; ,, ‘r -+; - .'s.-KeI.'-.;-s--.-"--1'er=:isesr-:a=s~ .

Davie Mackay, who has worked and trained Border Collies for over 30 years, says ‘you have to be patient with a dog and take your time ~ too many farmers are harsh on their dogs and then wonder why the dog doesn't work well for them. They are sensitive, intelligent animals and will work to please you, but shouting at them lust confuses them’. William Wallace also says; ‘If you make a friend of the dog as a pup it’s the best way —- then they’ll do anything for you’. Finding the Right Dog if you are looking for a working dog, many good working lines are registered with the international Sheep Dog Society (ISDS), and many ISDS registered dogs are handed in to Border Collie Rescue(0870 4'-14 5838), so it is worth checking there. For a pet collie, check out local rescue centres (Dumfries at Galloway Canine Rescue Centre ~ 01387 770 2i0 or SSPCA Dunragit Animal Welfare Centre — 0l58l 400 253) or contact Border Collie Rescue. It would be advisable to read up about the breed if you are thinking of getting a Border Collie - try the local library, or read a book like ‘The Versatile Border Collie’ by lanet E Larson. Please feel free to contact me with any interesting or entertaining dog-related stories, or if you have any comments or suggestions for this feature.

The minister, Peter Pearson, took delight in searching out nonconformists. The inhabitants of Carsphairn decided that enough was enough and sent a group of representatives to the nranse to discuss the situation with the minister - they wanted to be left in peace to worship the way they wanted. When the minister understood what they had come to discuss he refused to listen, locked the door to prevent them leaving, and produced a piistol. Some oi the people who had come to discuss the issue had waited outside and, upon hearing the commotion, lames Mcidlchael assumed his friends were in trouble and, grabbing his own gun, shot the minister. Thereafter P-ichllchael was forced to go into hiding, where he was eventually tracked down and, alter challenging Claverhouse to single combat, was killed from behind by one of Claverhouse’s troopers.

Saturday 27 May, 1' ‘lam Scribble is a very small person who wears a big black iacket and a pointy black hat. Sire’s very clever! Using a sheet of white paper, she cuts, glues and folds, and, with a little splotch here and a little scribble there, she's suddenly inside it ~— in and out she goes, sometimes in front, sometimes behind, maybe on top and even below ....amazing! This is a story that adults iind too complicated to understand but what do they know? Very young children, even one year olds on the other hand, know what Scribble is all about with her little gestures, movements and melodies. Because, you see, they know what tun and laugirter is about. This event is part of the Dunrlries £9: Galloway Arts Festival Programme.

Ken Bridge Hotel Monday 5 June, 7.30pm The annual tour of Scotland by Year 2 Scottish music students at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama is a showcase for the wealth and breadth of young talent in the Scottish Music Department and this year’s event promises to continue that trend. The students are from the Academy's BA Scottish Music and BA Scottish Music (Piping) courses.

Many of the students have already been busy representing the Academy all over the world and followers of the success stories to have already emerged from this department can be sure of seeing some future high fliers at this concert.

THE GLENKENS ARE KEEPING UP WITH INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY GLENKENS COMMUNITY B’ ARTS TRUST OFFICE MANAGER The Glenkens Community Arts Trust (GCATI has organ'sed a series of pilot workshops to deliver computer training to local people. The workshops, funded by Help the Aged, the Department tor Work and Pensions (DWP) and GCAT, have been open to anyone in the Glenkens who is sixty or over. Liz Cole, Community Proiect Worker said: "The ﬁrst series of workshops proved to be very successful in terms oi the enioyment and the information shared, with rrraximurn rrrunbers attending. A second frril class is cornnrerrcing at the end of March. it‘s excellent to otter computer courses for older people in the Glenkens and those who attended the ﬁrst course are keen to attend future courses". Lit added "We are hoping this is lust the beginning of such training opportunities in New Galloway and once we have our new venue, we airrr to organise many more courses for all ages." Bernie Wilkin from the ET Centre in Castle Douglas who is delivering the trainirrg explained: "lt"s important that people living in a rural area can access opportunities.

As parents, we felt it our duty to assist in fundraising and, as a one off, we decided to hold a ceilidh dinner. This took place last February and was such a huge success that it was agreed that another one should be held this year. Again it was a fantastic night. The hall was beautifully decorated in "Kelli. Colours’. We kept the same format of hostesses catering for their table of l0 or I2 guests. Thereafter we had ceilidh dancing with ‘The Other Band’ which everyone loves. We also held a raffle and auction which was very successful. The grand total of £2,000 was raised for school funds which is going towards the purchase cost of a new stage for the school. -*li1?rT==?-*-"5’~*-’ ->:=i=L-' ,.--__:,_-:?:____ -'-'i;:-_,__-_.___ _ _,.,-_-,=,.,.-H5,-._ - - .~.r . .1.E;=lg?-_;;;;;;;,3_.;.&,;._=;;,;:_-1% .; -- -ea,-e.;;e. .-1';-'-.* - _. . .l.J .,;_\-, £__1I_____;:.___._____,,.- 6' {IT -»_ ._ _ , -.._ ._ .: '- 4 -"J é f -‘-515;’ =._ '19-3-rial’ '_ "6 .-,v.-t /-__,-V <,};’-;__; z.-:.E__-I,-;_>,,-;-_:__E:.,___.§_-_ -_:__.- “La- \ ..-:;.;..--,, -._’ "-_-:,_-;=::=J.§-Ja{¢:,-\!r._-;-é__--1.‘, 1 -_ - q.__ -;<-;.- ' - "7" ‘ The ' - - iii"?-:14.-:"-"f ii» =1,-a-ref.-a-.-. ,<€%i,5sc-°>ee{> Z _ .-/:_ --‘1'_-' .-:.__:_'*' ,, ,'-:,-:;-.-;.-,1-.5-j:-_;.f;;;j,.;;_-,-:_;1_-.- cl" --'-we Feb-‘--;-;':' .--:I;_- 3?}.- - '<Z<‘-fez-*4tiwilitiiss+i'J;}Yi£e!,e?i5:l%s=,¢ : ;',a_ ._.='».<.-..-_-:3-.,_i; ,-=.=t==r-.+s.-2-an-:1-1-' jig-:2r;-;;-.;-;:-:-.;-.;.;-,-;-;-r;. ﬁg 1-.-gag,-.it-'3ti;;;#gh;Ar§j::g§;s'ttr§l'>§;%,e ., "".""1--_ /.,..,_. .- _';'-1.7.-;.'-:_--'|' »- -a.-.- - .,,: ;,;§;:=;;:jg=.;__ - ..; -' _._.-,. _._;==_;=_;-' ;:':-,!;:-.=-'-,.--'.:,.;-,',.-'.;:-' -gas-_:';;=. -I (.-: '* f 1,, ',- , lie“ 5,/,;~.,_< r -5:--.=-_.**.‘-'£-=..=..=-a.. _-cf" -rs-='---. -’->,5’9’=“;”-'9-.’$”‘*><>'£ét§3l?>*’€=¥*‘-rrr<2rzi __,_,__g-35;“;___,,, _,_,£,_,F .>'*<.+i'r$I-er; 1,)‘. 19.;-;;,;-,.,_ .u-,-:,=.;:-' .~... - _.@aI. _:.!;;:-re _.:_,._, ._,;, _,_,,-F1_.:_ r21;; ﬁ:<:W__/_£€j_t_7/->4 .-- <1, 81/}.-!-"""- .-':-.

PC lan Wilson, Constable 291, Dairy page 9 C-lenkens Gazette VU U Cub Scouting is celebrating their 901“ birthday this year and the Beaver section is celebrating their 20"" birthday, the Queen reaches 80 and is the Scout Patron. The C-lenkens Cub Scout Pack have been looking at the wider picture of otrr Scouting Family from here in the Crlenkens to Worldwide. We also traced our own farrrily tree, many farrrilies going back to the early l800s and sonre very interesting facts have been found. We will be ioining the congregation of Kells Church for a special Founders Day Thanksgiving Service and the young members will renew their Promise at the end of March. The Cub Scouts put their name forward to the Daily Record to try and win new football strips. We were delighted to Ieanr that we were in the first 500 who applied so we are now busy collecting 2400 tokens from the newspaper to enable us to claim the strips. The Cubs have never owned a proper strip - we played in our activity tee shirts, so we are very pleased. We would like to thank everyone who is collecting the tokens and will hopefully help to nrake otrr dreanrs come true. The older Cub Scouts spent a day at Barcaple Christian Outdoor Centre, trying a variety of adventurous activities strcir as zip wire, soft tree climb, assault course and archery. APPEAL FOR §EWENG MATEREAL§ Merryn Fergusson will be visiting Bosnia again this summer to do voluntary work for victims of the war. Bosnia is still suffering from effects of the war with a struggling economy and a very high rate of unemployment. I‘-llerryn will be visiting a sewing school which has recently opened. She has been asked to collect items such as needles, cotton,zips,huttonsandscissors to take with her. If you would like to donate any items that you no longer use please hand them in to the GOAT shop or put them in the post to ll-llerryn at Grennan, Dairy, D67 3PL U \ ELE? WEN A EENNHW FUR TWUE Few would wish to contest that Galloway is ‘the natural place to be’, something which the local communities are very proud of and perhaps none nrore so than those who reside in the Glerrkens. In recent times, however, we have come to realise that keeping the secrets of the area to ourselves is lnrplngirrg upon the economic reality of rural survival. is it not perhaps time that the residents of southwest Scotland do a little more to attract a percentage of the thousands of visitors who bypass the region on their way north towards the Highlands? Tire rotrtirrg of last year’s Tour of Britain cycle race through Galloway is but an example of what can be done to refocus the attention of tourists and others toward this diverse and inspiring corner of Scotland. Members of the Glenkens Business Group feel we should do sorrrething to ensure that visitors and others are in no doubt when they have entered the C-ienkerrs. We need to rrrake certain people send the message that witirirr Galloway the Gienkens uniquely offers a wide range of choice for all ages. There is perhaps no better way to promote the merits of an area than by word of motrtir from those who have visited. Whilst this makes sense there is a problem; visitors are frequently unaware that they are enjoying the ‘C-Ierrkens’ when they visit this part of Gal loway. The walking festival, sporting competitions, the 7 Stanes and Scottish Alternative Garrres are but examples of what is on offer in the C-lerrkerrs but, in terms of publicity, such attractions are only promoted as part of Galloway. It is felt what is needed is some form of identifying mark — an ernblerrr or badge of recognition. For example, walkers of the Southern Upland Way should never be in doubt of their location since its own unique enrblern adequately marks it. We can learn from this by producing our own emblenr or badge of recognition that could have many applications: on stationery; in brocirures; in sirop windows; on road signs designating areas of interest and activities; the list is alrrrost endless. What is clear is that with an identifying mark unique to the Glenkens, visitors would at least know and remember where they have been! With this in mind, a conrpetition is being held to create an C-lenkens Emblem. The corrrpetition is open to all residents of the C-lenkens regardless ofage; students and school pupils are particularly encouraged to participate. Entries should be subnrittecl on A4 paper and can be drawn in 28 perrcll, ink or black pen which should then be forwarded together with contact details to: The GCAT Office, Main Street, New Galloway. Entries must be in no later than midday 2nd ]une. A panel drawn from the Glenkens Business Group will iudge the competition. The winner, together with his or her entry, will then be announced and published in the 34"‘ edition of the Gazette. And the winner will not only see their design used in the future, but Mr David Patterson, proprietor of the Ken Bridge Hotel, has kindly offered Sunday Lunch for two at the Carvery in his hotel restaurant for the winning entrant on an evening of his or her choice! ii § i‘ E II 5 2 E l l I I I i l El: EURQPEAN TAMBURELLO CHAMPEON$HEP -. _- .- - - .\.--- r. -- - - - - .- .- - - .-.- - ; - - .-.- .- ,-_- -. - - .-- |- -. - - -. - -,. |. - . .- -|- .- -- - - . -. - - .- ,- ,-.- -,-.-; --_-- ;- . -. -_- ._.-_.-.-. -_-, |- .-5 ; ,- i -I ,- - ,- I-. ; - _- ; .;. ; .; .- _-;._- J .1.-_-_-_._- .;.,-.; l, , 71;.

This festival has grown over the past eight years from a small gathering with a couple of Celtic music bands to a large festival with a dedicated following, who come to listen to the eclectic mix of world music and participate in the many workshops which are run. The motto of the festival is ‘People to the Land! Music to the Hilisi', which encompasses its philosophy - to bring people back to the upland areas of Galloway, which are now so depopuiated, and also allow local people the opportunity to experience world class music locally. The festival is a family-run event, with Simon and Liz Holmes organizing the practical side while their daughter Katriona and son Robert deal with promotion and publicity. Katriona says "The festivals bring people from all over Scotland and beyond to this unique part of Galloway to dance, make merry and experience some of the Ci1Ell‘lIlS and heritage of the Glenkens. Over the three days some of the most current sounds on the world and traditional music circuit are presented, bringing top quality acts to this secluded and beautiful part of Scotland”.

We are very keen to receive contributions from a wider area. Please remember that we try very hard to remain politically impartial. Although we encourage you to express your views on subjects of interest to the local community, sometimes an editorial decision is taken not to print an article because it might jeopardize that impartiality.

He says ”l started keeping bees at the same time as my grandad, and we have learned together. The best bit is the honey - l don't really like to eat it but love to make it and also to sell iti”. The congregation of beekeepers from all over Southern Scotland was full of praise for the young bee keeper and there were numerous suggestions that Peter should enter the National Honey Show with his wild flower honey. l got in close enough to take a picture of the hive before realising that everyone else was wearing protective clothing from head to foot... Having made a hurried retreat to the refreshment tent, l got to try Mrs Blyth's delicious honey cake and also some of Peter's fresh local honey on a home-made pancake.

There was a variety of local food available, great kids’ attractions and live music too. The event was the product of a lot of hard work by Carsphairn Community - they managed to encourage a large number of local ﬁ|'i‘liS to sponsor the event, which is why there was such delicious free food and such a wonderful variety of attractions. A lot of people attended and there were many comments along the lines of ‘free food - are you sure?!‘ before they went back for seconds of venison burgers, fresh local trout or some of the other delicious fare on offer. For kids there was facepainting, a bouncy castle, a sticky wail and a rodeo bull. The local ﬁre brigade tumed up in style, much to the children's delight - especially when they created a water feature with the hosel And the rodeo bull competition was great fun, both for spectators and panicipanu, as people of all ages were thrown around. Three live bands played over the course of the day, creating a great atmosphere, some of the members from within the Carsphairn community and others from as far a ﬁeld as South Africa. The whole event was non-profit making but lust through donations and some takings from the sticky wall, rodeo bull and bar (everything else was free) £400 was raised for the Carsphaim Community fund. l §. l I www glenkensgazette.com Glenkens Gazette page 2 A.’ .. , . . . .,.___... ‘~- Iv rr ’ ‘ More than 500 people visited the 2006 Glenkens Art Exhibition which took place in Dairy Town Hall from Thursday 20 until Sunday 23 Julyl The exhibition, which also featured entries from the Glenkens School's Art Competition, was a huge success and broke all previous records, with 38 local artists displaying 119 works of art.

Following on from the April meeting P.C.Wils0n reported that the police traffic car has been and will be in the area shortly. The Council is investigating the possibility of introducing nmrble strips on the approaches to the village and it is likely that the 20mph zone outside the school will be in place by the end of the summer. Funding has been awarded to complete the community garden in the next few months. A summary was given of the meeting between Councillor George After the Alternative Games were completed all the rubbish in the park was collected and bagged very efficiently. The park and village beneﬁts from people taking the time and care to help keep our community clean and tidy. Social Events z A collection was held for Mrs Mary (Myra) Walker who worked for many years at the Glenkens Medical Practice. On the same evening as her retirement party a cheque for the sum of El 500 was presented to the local branch of the MacMillan Cancer Fund - this money is to be used at Dumfries Hospital. Part of the money was raised at the Alternative Games. taken on the uneven footpaths on both sides of the village street, A Burns supper and Ceilidh were held with great success - they are now more or less annual events which we hope will continue to grow.

During the meeting a demonstration of a portable deﬁbrillator was given by members of the Stewartry Safety Forum and the Galloway Mountain Rescue team. it was agreed that the machine was easy to operate and that the Community Council would contact other groups to see how they operate and establish a list of people locally who may be willing to be "on call" on a rota basis as well as apply for funding to purchase a machine. Nma Campbell THE ROYAL BURGH 0F NEW GALLOWAY 8 KELLS PARISH Community Council Chairman’s Report 2005-06 Town Hail After much delay and several complaints the town hall clock has been repaired. The stairway was re-decorated due to damp seeping through the wall and damaging the wallpaper; however, the root cause of the damp (a leak in the roof) has not been addressed. The costs of renting the town hall need to be looked at - local organisations such as the Fire Brigade and Gold Club are ﬁnding it too expensive to use our facilities. Disabled facilities need to be upgraded - there is no way for a person in a wheelchair to get into the upper hall and no disabled toilet facilities. r General meeting point. UPGRADES TO DALRY TOWN HALL in the next few weeks major upgrade work is due to start on the Hall. lr There will be upgrades to electrics (including new sockets in the Hall, emergency lighting and consumer units), a new event poster board, new portable staging system and replacement of sash and case windows to the Hall. Two of the above changes are the result of successful grant funding r applications - thestage improvementsthrouglr the EventChallenge Fund and the window replacement through the Village Hall lrrrprovement Grant. The electrics upgrade will bring the venue into the Zlst century, making it much easier to stage modern events - currently there l are only three sockets in the Hall which makes it difﬁcult to accommodate all the high-tech equipment necessary for modern performances. And hopefully the new poster board will help to advertise events at the Hall, ensuring larger audiences. r Mark Stoves GLENKENS WALKING GROUP The walks for the coming 2 months will be taking Old Edinburgh Road place on Mondays and Wednesdays at The road is part of the bus route and, due _, 3pm. to the width of the road when a bus meets P A‘ The Monday walks we use the Glenkens Bus which does a a lorry, one of the vehicles has to reverse 6 to a suitable place so the two vehicles can _ pass.

He bought her, and she became poetical satire of ‘The Twa Dogs’.

The colouring is mainly white with black or tan patches particulariy on the lace and at the base of the tail. Jack Russells decorum.

This was a massive project, consisting of cutting a tunnel 3'/z miles long and l 1 ‘/2 feet in diameter through solid rock. Excavations were carried out simultaneously from six faces, one at Gienlee, two at an adit close to the foot of Gieniee Hill, two from the Craigshinnle shaft and one from the intake at Ciatteringshaws. The Craigshinnie shaft was chosen solely to divide the distance equally between the adit and the Intake, but due to its position, after the tunnel was completed, the shaft was used to bring in extra water to the system from two adjacent burns. Electricity for running the ventilation system, lighting and other essential equipment was obtained from a temporary substation at Gienlee, a single circuit line on wooden poles being extended along the Fine of the tunnel. One of the iast of these poles, near the Craigshinnie shaft, has recently been cut down and lies in pieces nearbyl On 27th, December I932 the ﬁrst section of the tunnel between Glenlee Portal and the adit was completed. Captain Wickham Weekes, Convenor of Kirkcudbrightshire Council, ﬁred the ﬁnal shot to link the two faces, "Passing slowly along the electric lit way into the depths of the age-worn hill the party was most impressed by this feat of engineering science which has mastered nature,” So said The Galloway News on this historic occasion. On l0th October i933 the tunnel was completed, and in the presence of around two hundred invited guests Sir Andrew Duncan, chairman of the Central Electricity Board, ﬁred the final shot which linked up the last two sections, at the Craigshinnie shaft. The next stage was to line the whole length of this remarkable tunnel with concrete, a iob which required much skill. A unique gantry was used, made of steel, a collapsibie, self-supporting unit, I50 feet in length, so constructed as to allow roof and walls to be lined in one operation. it was possible to complete the 150 foot length in 2*} hours, but a further i8 hours had to elapse before the l 2 E unit could be eased away and moved along on its rails to the next | I section. Average progress during this stage ofoperations was 1,300 : s feet per month. As the scheme progressed large pieces of machinery, such as huge generating units and transfonners, were brought up on the railway to New Galloway station at Mossdale. From there they made their laborious way to Gienlee, Earistoun, Carsfad, and Kendoon Power Stations. The inhabitants of New Galloway wouid come to their doors to watch Plckfords' giant traction engines hauling their unwieldy burdens along the High Street! The railway company undertook entire responsibility for the transporting of all machinery ir r for the scheme, whether by rail or road, and the providing of cranes for transferring and off-loading all the equipment. On the completion of the Glenlee tunnel New Galloway was able to augment its water supply, at a cost of 6d. (2 ‘/2 p) per 1,000 i gallons, by drawing on the water from the tunnel. This must have been a blessing for the Burgh, as up to that time the water supply had been doubtful, to say the ieast! Gienlee Power Station commenced supplying power to the National Grid at midday on Wednesday, 6th. March I935 and on Tuesday, 27th October I936 the entire Galloway Hydro-scheme was completed. However, although it was the largest integrated hydroelectric scheme in the LLK. it started work quietly and unobtrusively. it was not untii l lth March I938 that a large number of invited guests witnessed a dual ceremony commemorating the opening of the scheme, and the contribution made to its success by the late Col. Wiliiam McLelian, whose involvement with the Galloway l i i i scheme began with the ﬁrst investigations in I923, and continued until his death in December i 934, lust a few months before Gienlee became operational. A memorial to Col. McLellan was unveiled by Captain Wickham Weekes. Lord Meston, Chairman of the Galloway Water Power Company, at the unveiling of the McLellan memorial, made the foiiowing comments. "In the execution of this work, hands have been laid upon the beauties of the country. Power houses, dams, aqueducts, surge towers now dot the valley, and it will take time for them to merge into the hues and contours of the landscape, but in partiai compensation a whole series of new lochs have been created which will grow in attractiveness as nature takes them into its care.” Few of us, I would suggest, can argue with Lord Meston's profound statement. t Garden it t .

FREE training for new drivers can be arranged, but we also need existing drivers of ‘user-groups’ to do their bit — it only means driving the Mini-Bus forabout 2 hours from Dairy into Castle Douglas via Patton and returning via Lauriestort and New Galloway. If everyone does their turn , it will only mean helping three or four times a yeari We do need to keep this route going tor the sake of the user-groups, GT1 trips and income to help the cost of running the bus. The Tour of Britain professional cycling race will return to Dumfries and Galloway this year with the Scottish stage ﬁnish in Castle Douglas on Tuesday the 29th August. The 2006 route for the Tour will run front Glasgow to Castle Douglas with the one key difference to 2005 being that when the Tour enters Dumfries and Galloway (on the A7l3, north of Carsphairn) it takes place wholly within the Stewartry. The Scottish Stage this year will be marketed by VisitScotland Dumfries and Galloway and their Glasgow cotrrtterparts. The aim of the marketing effort will be to promote the Tour of Britain as art exciting clay out for visitors to the region attd to attract weekend visitors to the Stewartty using the Tour as the basis for a cycling themed short break. The race route comes lrtto Carsphairn along the A7i3, then goes along the back road front Carsphalrn to Dairy, through Dairy, back onto the A713 and then off again into New Galloway at the Kenbridge and down the west side of Loch Ken past Laurieston and into Castle Douglas for the ﬁnish. <%dis>@%@"’i'e@€e<1iie>a% if you are lnterestecl in being trained as a ‘mini- bus driver’ please ring Keith Cooper on OI644 420374 for training to be arranged. if you are already a ‘driver’ please ring Keith to lnlonn him when you can ltelp, or please try to make ‘ .-.. “""i@:?es:~ §;§;§_5‘_ -ca;-., . »r't<.=-r "-4f-$5., ._ -~¢».;_;.»,..¢./. . -.-.3;-‘<-:=<I wet 5;./'31 ,~:5;;.” l—l E *-~;..,,;,_;.~- The Glenkens Business Association was fomted to promote and support businesses within the Glenkens. it has taken a while to get the association off the ground.

Their destination was Carrick Lodge Hotel, where they were to meet for lunch with eight ladies from High Carntyne Church, Glasgow. The two Guild branches fonned a "link" ten years ago and, despite distance and transport problems, have been able to get together at some time each year. Carrick Lodge has become the favourite venue, with its lovely décor, pleasant staff and excellent food. Although our Guild is In the country and has a small membership and theirs a large city Guild, we have a lot in common and could find plenty to talk about. There was much laughter (and probably too much food). Time passed quickly and before driving home a few cameras flashed and clicked so that we could have tangible evidence of another happy reunion.

The law says that my father was a murderer, and alter he died they put his body in a glbbet and left it to rot where all the Clachan could see it. Yet the peopieof the Ciachan cried to see it, and in secret they whispered behind their hands that my father was a Martyr, not a murderer. It was the Killing Times, and fear stalked the quiet streets and country lanes of the Glenkens, while the law was turned on its head by the anger of the King at what he believed was our insurrection. My father was a man of conviction and my mother always said that none but God himself could change my father’s mind once he had made It up. it was certainly the case when he loined the Solemn League, and he declared that no Royal proclamation was going to make him give it up. Then the Kingset out the lines and punishments for not attending the Kirk, and stili Fatherwould not change his mind. He refused to let us go, saying he would never bow his head In prayer to the King when ]esus alone deserved our praise. So strong was his belief, that when I was but a small child, Father marched with many other Covenanters to ﬁght against the King's men, unafraid of what might happen as he believed he was in God's hands. They were defeated, horribly, for they were armed with not much more than farm tools and handmade weapons, but defeat did not dent my father's belief one bit either. He simply came back home and blded his time. It was in the year i684, when I was 14 years old, that things became very black Indeed. The King sent Graham of Ciaverhouse and his Dragoons to hunt down the Covenanters and force us back to the Kirk. Violence and death followed in his wake as he mthlessly went about weeding out the Covenanters from the local folk. Soon, because of the fear that Claverhouse brought amongst us, once trusted men became infomters and there were spies among our ranks. Father became suspicious of all but a few of his fellows. Often, l would lie awake to listen as Father sat up late at night with his closest friends, Robert Stewart, lohn Grierson and Robert Ferguson, talking in soft voices. i knew in my heart they were plotting. The day that my father eamed the name "Black" iames is burned deeply into my memory, and I can think of nothing that will remove it so long as I live. The Curate of Carsphairn, Peter Pierson, had been giving away the names of Covenanters freely, buying the favour of Grierson of Lag, who was stationed within a stone's throw of the Kirk at Carsphairn. Father had me drive him and the other men to Carsphalm, where they planned to plead the Covenanters TIMES o|= WORSHIP . IN THE GLENKENS case with the Curate, hoping to silence him with reason. It was December and dark already as we trundled slowly up the road. Frost was In the air, for Winter's bite was hard upon us. Father told me to wait outside when we came to the Manse and to be prepared to leave as fast as I could should anything go wrong. I waited, shivering in the cold outside, sick to the stomach with a sense of foreboding. Then, with a crack as deafening as thunder, a shot resounded from within the Manse. Forgetting my father's instructions I rushed inside, to hear my father's voice booming in the parlour. Before him, lying in a pool of crimson, was the Curate, clutching feebly at his chest. The stench of gunpowder was In the air and I felt bile rise in my throat when l saw that my Father held a Musket In his hands which he pointed still at the Curate as he spoke. “Let the Lord iudge you now, for you have sinned against him. You adhere to the King's blasphemy, and l have given you justice for itI" My father stood surrounded by his fn'ends, all of whom wore grim expressions that spoke of their solidarity. My heart was thumping and my knees turned to water, for I was afraid of the soldiers I was sure would come at the sound of the shot. Then, as l had dreaded, the thunder of horses hooves came echoing through the night, rousing me from my stupor. My father would be killed if he were caught as he was. “Flee Fatherl The Dragoons are coming!" I cried. Stewart and Grierson turned at once to go, Ferguson made to follow them but stoppedandputahandtomyfatheﬂsshoulderwhenItseemedhewouldnotmove. “Walt,” I heard my father say, and he walked to where the Curate lay, his lifeblood ebbing away onto the floor of the Manse. There, my father stood and waited until the last light of life had disappeared from Curate’s eyes. He whispered a soft prayer under his breath before iinaliy reaching down to gently draw the Curate’s eyelids closed. “Please Fatheri" l cried, for I could see the Dragoons leaping from their horses In the yard outside. My father looked up at me and nodded, then he and Ferguson ﬂed out of the Kirk by the back door. The Dragoons came pouring in the front door, yelling In the King's name. I threw myself behind a curtain, praying to God that they would not see me. They nrshed passed the Curate’s body, giving it not a single glance, and poured out again by the same door my father had taken. At that moment, [was afraid that I would never see my father alive again. to be continued.... .. ST §£A-ﬁGARET’S LADIES GUILDT I In August 2004 St Margaret's Episcopal Church in New Galloway celebrated its centenary. The I Church had been built with a donation of land and gifts of money, and It was the responsibility of I CHURCH OF SCOTLAND the congregation to maintain the Church, and also the Rectory which was built later.

GLENKENS EMBLEM COMPETITION A competition was held amongst the schools in this area recently by the Glenkenls Business Association to create an ‘emblem’ for the region. The purpose was to find an identifying symbol that every one will recognise as being associated with this area of Dumfries and Galloway. The excellent response from the schools was both welcome and appreciated. The members of the management committee have now met to judge the competition, taking account of factors such as the age of the entrants, imaginative design and relevance of the artwork in reﬂecting the activities and attraction of the Glenkens. it was a dlfﬂcult choice since the standard of entrants was high; in the end however it was decided that In order of merit, the four best entrants were: Lara Currie (winner), Emma Murdoch, Joshua Trueman, Olivia Wise Mr David Patterson, proprietor of the Ken Bridge Hotel kindly offered lunch at his Sunday Carvery to the winning entrant in recognition of this achievement. Mr Patterson has generously decided to extend this lunch to include the parents of the winner of the competition. it is intended to make full use of Lara's emblem on stationery and promotional documentation relating to the Glenkens, and we would like to record the appreciation of the members of the Business Association for the support of the schools in bringing this initiative to a successful conclusion. The winning , artwork together " with the other contributions to the committee is currently being displayed in the window of ‘Small Business Solutions’, in the High Street, New Galloway (the old GCAT Ollicel Shop.) . it's been a busy old Spring for the Glenkens Walking For Health Group. Since the start of the year the 2 regular short weekly walks have been going to some great locations: Kennick bum, Clatteringshaws, Stroan Loch and Dundeugh, to name but a few. At the end of last year we started to do a few longer walks in addition to the short walks and cenain members of the team were really keen for a challenge, so after a few months training we tackled and conquered the Merrick. Considering six months ago some of us found it hard walking for the papers, this is a fantastic achievement! We also went walking with Alex Fergusson MSP over volunteers week and have been trying to lind wheelchair friendly walks to ﬁt into our schedule. The group provides its members with a social opportunity to get exercise, with many people ﬁnding it really helps to get them out ofthe house on days when you might not bother. All walkers can go at their own pace and there is always a cup of tea to be had afterwards. If you would like to ioln any of the walks then please contact one of the walk leaders or pick up a diary of walks from most shops in the Glenkens area. No one ls too unﬁt to loin and we have walks to suit all abilities (all from half an hour to an hour), lust get some good shoes on and come and ioin inl See page 3 for more details ALEX FERGUSSON MSP /" " = .

Bill uses a selection of media, from aciylics to pastel, and paints on location. Ever since t ll. he moved to the Glenkens, he has had a love for Jo the open hills and the ‘faces of the hillside’. One 1*" of his most renowned works is the ‘Grey Man of the Merrick’ (pictured). Another of Bill's well-known ii1-‘.__.faces is the ‘Old Man at the Door’ on the Cairnsmore of Fleet. He says "for ten years I painted this face, *g7-=r-;.~.e-‘i\T_;-_;*_~ without showing it to anyone. Then, a couple of years ago, l decided to take my wife and son up to see him. And he was gone! ]ust a new, smooth cliff face remained where his craggy features used it to be...". if you would like to see more of Bill's i ?-#1,: work, visit his studio gallery at Knockengorroch Farm, along the A7l3 from Carsphairn towards Daimellington - tel.

The central fastening pin is missing. it is almost identical to one found in a hoard near Annan in the i870s which associated coins date to burial in the 1290s. it is fascinating to think that it was lost or buried at the time that Robert the Bruce was dodging the English troops around the Glenkens. Only the wealthiest individuals would have owned such a large piece of silver jewellery. The knoll where it was found offers a superb view down the valley and one wonders whether a lookout (or even the great man himself?) was watching there for the approach of the English army; and when he saw them coming gathered up his cloak and dashed off in panic to warn his friends, leaving the brooch lying there. Alternatively he may have buried it there thinking it a safe place where he could easily find it again - and then never had the chance to return. The piece has been claimed under Treasure Trove laws and will probably come to the Stewartiy Museum around the end of the year. ,__. ,6 M -.4.,-. -.-E F rm. -_—-— -_-.,_-. -._-.;_ I. ,_. ll.

Presumptions are made about community councillors being the properly elected representatives speaking on behalf of all sectors of their conimiinlties. There is a need for proper training to equip coniinunlty councillors to make difﬁcult planning and commercial decisions. Otherwise there is little hope of seeing any real change in the level of public interest and a willingness in particular for younger people to be willing to be co-opted where there are unﬁlled vacancies on community councils. Most people’s perception of a typical community councillor is that of someone middle aged, well-meaning but often lacking business experience, out of touch with the needs and aspirations of young people and not interested in giving the amount of time necessary to become well informed on complex policy issues. Six years ago four of the community councils in the Gleiikens learned the importance of setting up a strong negotiating body to challenge the Council's proposals for school closures in our area. Since then other areas have increasingly acknowledged the role of local initiatives in involving locally available business, ﬁnancial, research and negotiating skills as well as using expertise from outside their areas. Central to this is a growing realisation that thinking has to link processes which will generate long term secure jobs in rural areas, tap in to locally available resources in particular areas such as renewable energy, provide appropriate training for young people and ensure the provision of affordable housing. Without these, villages will become enclaves of retired people lacking the services those very people most need. More schools will close due to the lack of young families in these areas and the politicians will rightly or wrongly get the blame. if community councils are to continue to exist they will have to become more political. Tiiere has to be an aclcnowledgnient that there are real and fundamental differences of views existing uneasily side by side within our conununities with no one wanting to cause offence openly but working secretly and devlously behind the scenes. As a sequel to this, a strong local Glenkens Sustainable Development Steering Group with I2 voting nienibers and some 20 or so expert advisers has now been formed. it has a constitution which allows it to receive charitable funding. Consistent with its vision for a sustainable future it has held a number of public meetings over the past 2 years to explore how renewable energy, biomass, cooperative structures, new approaches to building affordable housing, etc. could all contribute towards achieving such sustainability. From a very early stage Scottish and Southern Energy were lobbied and asked to engage with people living in the Glenkens in the belief that this is our land, our wind and our beautiful scenery and we had no intention of being ripped off by any large international company. The business world in its longer temi strategic planning takes into account the new ‘spirit of independence‘ beginning to sweep across Scotiand’s rural communities. Deals cannot lust be done behind the backs oflocal coniniunitles. Partnerships cannot be made to work without a lot of time and effort being put into creating them. * ORGANIC FARM SHOP Beeawing, Dumfries i‘ ‘E (U133?) ?6{i296 - - - - -. - . - -' _' -.---_:'_-._'.-:='_--;-.=_.-§=_q=>_-_=== '-‘=5¢ =-s-_-.--.--_'-;-'=.-';-_-L-.-.-'..-.-.-.-._,._,._.,..,,...,.-,.-.-,.,,.,,:.,,;=;g1;; " ' Solicitors R . . in_ I" bffereni.

These old tales and legends will come back to life as you read them - perhaps aloud on a winter's evening by candlelight while the wind howls outside.

Tiveiity-one lviorrisoris skating on thin ice Twenty-orie Morrisons doomed by eiichantmenii... . "' t T. In Galloway Folk, Peter Jeevar of Balmaollan, known for his paintings of aircraft and birds, has turned his hand to retelling in traditional ballad form twenty-one Galloway stories and legends. n these pages you may meet such characters as The Parton Piper, The Ghost of Loch Urr, The Witch O‘Drooth, Winnie Liggate and Barniewater Livingstone. You can learn of the Murder of Red John Oomyn and about Billy Marshall's Bonnet, and read of the Fairies on the Garpei Bridge and the Ghost of Buckland Burn. er " i And here is another tale...

GLENKENS SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT STEERING GROUP 1*. i i in relation to proiects such as large wind farms, potential 4 megawatt biomass plants and the Soiway tldai barrage we believe that people need to understand the choices available to them. A simplistic questionnaire to coniniuiilry councils about community wlndfariii F|NANClAL beneﬁt on its own cannot do that. it simply plays into the hands of developers who want to exploit communities with a conscience saver of two to three thousand pounds per annuin per installed MW. Tire reason for people in the Glenkens coming up with an alternative strategy for conununity consultation is set very iiiucii in this context. The Steering Group believes that there are a range of other ways to inaxiniise long temi community beneﬁt through much more imaginative partnerships with development companies controlled by locally accountable bodies. At the end of the day what is being sought by all is the best possible deal for every community in the context of longer tenn outlook for vibrant, forward looking strategies to llourish in forms which beneﬁt the whole region. _ BALMAOLELLAN GOMMUNETY COUNCIL At the recent August meeting, PC Ian Wilson warned of attempts by bogus worknien posing as Scottish Water Represeiitatlves, and urged anyone with concerns regarding the above to contact them or the local Neighbourhood Watch scheme. He also discussed the new legislation regarding seat belts and that enforcement of this will be stepped up in the area. A new table and seat have been ordered for Balinacleilan Children‘s Playground and these will be made of recycled plastic in various colours. '' Wind Fami Community beneﬁt was also discussed with the Dunifries and Galloway Council framework for division of benefit between all coniniunlty councils within a I 5km radius being seen as the most suitable way forward. However, it was felt that the beneﬁt should be zoned in order to give those nearest to the wind farm more as these coniniunities are most affected. An obiection to the Blackcraig Wind Fami poweiiine was to be submitted from the Community Council as it was felt that the niaiority of cables should be put underground where possible. The cunent Community Council's term will end shortly and a new Community Council will fomi in October. Hana Mackmnon ' L.

They mtlst be able to quickly detect motion, so they have keen vision. Sighthounds have been bred to capture fast, agile prey such as deer and hare, so they have a very ﬂexible back and long legs for a long stride, a deep chest to support an unusually (compared to other dogs) large heart, very efficient lungs, and a lean, why body to keep their weight at a minimum. Probably the most well known sighthounds are the Greyhound and the Whippet, but other less common breeds such as the Saluki and the Afghan Hound are also included in this category. The Greyhound is the fastest sighthound and can run at speeds up to 40 miles per hour. Main Uses in the Glenkens Let’s focus on Greyhounds, as these seem to be the most popular sighthound in the Glenkens. Most of the Greyhounds we see here have been rescued from the race track. Often these dogs have been bred for racing and for one reason or another have been reiected and given to a rehoming centre. Sandra Harrison is our local Greyhound rescue person. Having kept Whippets, Greyhounds and Lurchers (a mix between a slghthound and another breed) herself for years, she now also takes Greyhounds directly from the track to start the socialisation process for them to be re-homed. Dumiries and Galloway Greyhound Rescue is in its 5”“ year now, and has re-horned 280 Greyhounds since its inception, 22 ofwhich have been through Sandra. Sighthounds as Pets As the Greyhound and Whippet are the most popular types of sighthound in the area, we will focus on their characteristics. Many people are discouraged from keeping these dogs for a number of reasons. One reason is that they think they will need a tot of exercise. This is not the case — a member of the Dumfries and Galloway Greyhound Rescue Centre calls Greyhounds ‘40 mile an hour couch potatoes’ as they like a bit of a run round, and then they are happy to chill out for the rest of the day. ‘They make much calmer and less demanding house dogs than most small dogs, such as the lack Russell Terrier, and working breeds, such as the Springer Spaniel, which people often get thinking they will make easy pets’ says Sandra Harrison. People are also often put off keeping a Greyhound of Whippet as they see them with muzzles on, and assume they must be dangerous and aggressive. This is not the case - the muzzle is there simply to stop them from inluring other smaller animals who may run out in front of them, as the sighthounds instincts for chasing small animals L:-L=:‘ i ._=_1=-.

And they quickly learn to live side by side with other pets such as cats — it’s iust a matter of them getting used to it.’ Training Having been highly bred as a working dog — bred to run and to chase - these dogs are not renowned for their obedience when they have their eyes set on something. And if they have come off the track, they already have the urge to chase strongly imprinted on them. So it is safest to keep them on a lead at all times, unless they are in a secure area where they can’t spot a deer, rabbit or anything they might take a fancy to chasing. Sandra tells us ‘when they do chase something, they are likely to iniure themselves as they become so focused on the prey, and they run so fast, that they often run into things such as gates and fences. Also, these dogs have very thin coats and sensitive skin, so injure easily.‘ Finding the Right Dog If you would like to adopt a Greyhound, contact Dumfries and Galloway Greyhound Rescue’: re-homing co-ordinator Al Todd on 01228 67l*-H4. For other types of sighthound, it is worth contacting them also, or contacting a general canine rescue centre lbumfries at Galloway Canine Rescue Centre — 01387 770 210 or SSPCA Dunragit Animal Welfare Centre — 01581 400 253]». In light of recent media coverage of ‘dangerous dogs’, I would just like to advise all our readers NEVER to leave a young child alone with any dog, regardless of breed and however well you know the dog - you never know how the dog may react to the situation and what the chiid may do whilst they are unattended. lt’s best to be over cautious than to take any risks where dogs and children are involved. Please feel free to contact me with any interesting or entertaining dog-related stories, or if you have any comments or suggestions for this feature.

This annual event has a reputation for always having excellent speakers and so it continued this year. Dr Lizanne Henderson, one of the foremost researchers in Scottish folklore, who lectures in history at the Crichton Campus spoke about Charmers and charms in South West Scotland during the period i670 until the l760s. She outlined the history of doctors practising mainly in the towns during that period whilst in the counuy medicine was given out by Charmers. The ingredients for the remedies were often obscure, for example wood lice, spiders webs and powder from Egyptian mummies. For gout pant of the remedy was to put the skin of the left loot of a vulture on the left heel and the skin of the right foot oi the vulture onto the right heel. Boiled worms formed part of the essentia. ingredients for the cure for earache! During the times of the witch hunts many Charmers were caught up in the search for those deemed to be witches. Generally leniency was given to them as it was recognised that they were often multl talented in that they could read the stars and provide cures not only for illnesses but for many other problems. Charmers were consulted across the social spectrum and could be anyone. Their skills might be inherited, learnt or perhaps a skill granted from the supernatural. Often they were able to move the illnesses from a person to an obiect, sometimes a holy well. Ministers saw charmers as a threat because it was thought that people’s religious beliefs were being undemtined and therefore they were often summonsed to appear before the Kirk Session. Dr Henderson gave several examples from Kirk Session records from the South West where people were accused of charming. The nearest instance to the Glenkens was from Glencaim Parish where a gardener was accused of using herbs for chamting. Dr Henderson then answered thoughtful questions from the audience who had been spellbound by her fascinating talk before enioying, with the company, the now traditional delicious supper. . - -.- . - - - .. . . - .. - -- - . - .- - - - . -- -- - -------_-_-_---_-_-_-_-_-_-_::__:;E::_:__;_::: _=,. =~_._ ,L -r-4 is as an-2 s .-: =:-:-; :-.:-:-s :=:-. seus reuueuaua New Galloway -. 1: -=. .=.‘- t _=;= - Location ....

ALLWAY ~ Our 5-[1‘L'st0'ric Burrgﬂ by Helen Bolton - PART X)-(XII New ﬁaalloway Town Mall Surely the hub of village life in any community is the Village Hall, or its equivalent. New Galloway Town Hall is no exception, having been the Royal Burglfs political and administrative centre for over three centuries. Meetings of the Burgh Council were held in the Town House on the ground floor of the original building, while the upper floor was the Court House, Slreriffand Justice of the Peace Courts being held there. Over the centuries many events have taken place in the Town Hall and the building is an institution in its own right. One of the earliest references to the original Town House is to the lall at the rear of the building, where the Covenanter Adam Mcwhann was held for two days after being dragged from his sick-bed by the Klug’s troops in May teas. He was then taken, on 12th May, to Knockclavie, a hill close to the Westpon, and shot. His body was later removed by friends and laid to rest in the old Kirkyard of Kells, close to the site of the present farm of “Upper Achie”. Later, McWhann’s headstone, carved by “Old Mortality”, (Robert Paterson of Balmaclelian), was moved to the present Kells Kirkyard where it can still be seen. The Town House seems to have been enlarged and improved in the early part of the l8th century, with the addition of a rather tall, thin spire to house the two bells cast in Edinburgh in l 7| l , and also the first town clock. The timbers of the old spire are still in situ, encased within the later building. When Robert Heron visited New Galloway in I792 he referred to the spire of the Town House as a distinguished object in the group of cottages which, with their trees and gardens, surrounded the building. it was obviously the source of much local pride. A painting of New Galloway by ]ohn Claude Nattes, published in his book ”Scotia Depicta” in lB0l, clearly shows the tall, slender spire, looking very elegant from the artist‘s vantage point above the village, somewhere around the site of the present McWiliiam’s garage! During the period IBI4-1840 the Town House was used many times by the well-known Baptist missionary, David Gibson of Auchencairn, for preaching. On several occasions the Town House was not available to him, and he was given the Court House upstairs instead. This, it seems, was not quite to his liking as apparently he got a larger gathering in the ground floor Town House! lB6l saw a very special and enthusiastic gathering in the Town House, this being on the occasion of the opening of the Portpatrick Railway. The hall was decorated at one end with a splendid sketch of a locomotive and at the other end with a canvas bearing the words “Success to the Portpatrick Railway”, both being the work of local painter, Mr. Milroy. With Mr. Weliwood Maxwell ............ -!-=-"' '-' 5'5 =5 -'- ‘=-'-._--1 -- ' ....... ‘=3'5F.?=f-‘-'~.'1';-.=:;-.-=,--5,-=:.-',-:.-:-5.-:.-5-.1.--5..-_5-.-5-.--_5.-5-_.55_;-5;;:,5_-.--:--55- __.. 3t.:-e.=5.‘- . . . . .esss._§ -——>:.1=1<1=-.-_-.;_--.-5,-;_-._-_;-__;-_-_.;._-_:__-55_;-_75;-_,-_-._--._-53;".

H An open meeting will he held on 19th October at ?.30pm at the Lochinvar Hotel in Dairy for anyone interested in getting involved with GCAT’s History Stop project. The History Stop will be a facility located in the old school development once it is open. it will aim to provide a reference point for everyone interested in local history -— both residents and visitors alike. It will provide information about, and directions to, many of the leading history and heritage locations in the Glenl-tens. This will cover famous people like ]ames Clark Maxwell and Alexander Murray, famous sites such as Bruce's Stone and Cairn Edward and famous periods in history including the Wars of independence and the Covenanters. Some of the information produced will involve the publication of printed material and some will be developed for use on touch screen computers. Historical research will complement studies of social development to dig beneath the historical surface of the region. This will help bring the past to life and offer a fresh perspective on local heritage. The Glenkens will be seen in the wider context of Scottish history, the better to illustrate local relevance to our nationis past. GCAT will be assisted in the development of the History Stop by Bob Marten who will be coordinating the research programme. Bob graduated from St Andrew's University with an honours degree in Scottish History, specialising in The Scottish Wars of independence. Bob will be working alongside Alison Chapman and Helen Bolton who are both steeped in local history.

The theme this year was The Stoiykeepers, set in Rome in 64 AD at a time when the Christians were suffering severe persecution. in those days the Christians kept the stories of ]esus alive, passing them from person to person as they were able, and the children heard many of these stories themselves and discovered they could lie storykeepers for their generation. A stnali room in the Scout Hut was transfointed into the Catacombs, where the children watched the Story!-teepers video. The main halt was used for singing crafts and other teain activities, and games were heldiacross the road in New Ciallotvayhplark.

Several of the classes had a higher number of exhibits than ever including the “tray class" in the vegetable section which was the highest since it was introduced. The wine section was held again this year, and there were 69 entries, another record, in the photographic section depicting “A Garden ‘v'iew”. The handicraft section was of a high standard also, making the lodge have a very difficult tithe in rnalting her decision. The baking section was also well up on entries and the iudge commented that in particular the gingerbread class was one of the best she had ever seen. Cut ﬂowers and pot plants adomed every space possible making a really magniﬁcent display and the handicraft section displayed the diversity of talent in the Gienkens area.

' . As the Autumn begins l would ask you to beware of complacency. Already we have had one housebreaking in the Glenkens where the occupier had only left the house for a few hours to come home and ﬁnd that the house had been broken into. The happy ending to this tale is that a neighbour had seen a car parked nearby and with this description given quickly to the police the thief was apprehended and ALL the property recovered. The notion that housebreakers come in the middle of the night dressed in black is pretty much old hat, the modem housebreaker tends to call during the day when you are out at work or have popped out for a few hours, so make sure you lock up AND PLEASE take a look at that strange car parked outside your neighbour's house and hope that your neighbour does the same when you are out Shortly Dairy, New Galloway and Carsphalrn will have new 20mph zones introduced outside the schools. PLEASE respect these areas as they are there for the safety of the children at these schools! COMMUNITY FIRE SETY MESSAGE Householders Concerned over Home Fire Safety Approach A number of elderly householders across Dumfries and Galloway have contacted the Fire and Rescue Service in the last week, raising concerns about an approach from a company offering to carry otrt Home Fire Safety and Security Checks of their homes.

I let out a cry of fear, my dream sodden mind telling nre this was Claverhouse come to drag me away for my part in Piersonfs murder. A hand smothered the noise, making me snap my eyes open and struggle to sit upright. "Whisht lad, it is only I," came a voice i instantly recognised as Robert Stewart, “We don't want to wake your brothers and sisters,” he added, taking his hand away from my mouth. “My father?" I asked, hoping that he would be near, and safe. "He is in hiding, son. He cannot return here now," Stewart told me, “Now come with me, i need your assistance lad, but I can't explain here," I scranrbled out of bed, full of relief to hear that my father was safe, yet apprehension was gnawing at me. What was it that Stewart wanted me to do? i followed him into the kitchen, pulling a shirt over my vest as i went. ' Mother was sitting at the kitchen table, her face only partly lit by the single, guttering candle that stood in its centre. Her expression was like stone, unreadable and ﬁrmly set. The only other light in the kitchen was the feeble glow of the dying embers of the ﬁre. i sat down opposite her, while Stewart crouched down by the ﬁre and started to stir it in the hopes of kindling it to a brighter flame. Mother pushed a plate of oat bannocks across the table, so I buttered them and ate them in silence. As the silence grew, so did my feeling of apprehension, but then ﬁnally, Mother broke it. I : . “Your father wants you to help Master Stewart in his stead. Never have I argued with your father, and never shall I, but l must ask you to take great care, lames. There is a great deal of danger in this task,"| nodded dutifully at her, for after what had happened ﬁve days ago in Carsphairn I understood her fears. Then I turned to look at Stewart as he stood in the gloom by the ﬁre. “What is it that you want me to do?” “We need transport for several men to Kirkcudbright, and we need a watchful pair of eyes,” Stewart began, looking directly at me, "Your father offered us the use of his cart. Will you drive it for us, lad?" Robert Stewart was a fugitive from the law, but I TIMESor WORSHIP m THE ccemceus CHURCH OF SCOTLAND Sundays Baimaclellan 12 noon 1*‘ Carsphairn 10.30 am 1*“ 2"“ 3"‘ 4"“ Dairy 12 noon 1*‘ 2*“ 3”‘ 4”‘ 5“‘(Oct) Kells 10.30 am 3“‘ 4”‘ Dairy Session House 6pm 1*‘ providing that, did not seem so dangerous. There must be more to it, I thought. “Why do you want to go to itirkcudbright?" “We mean to go to the Toibooth, to free the prisoners there. We need the cart to hide our weapons and intentions," My mind raced. This was a blatant act of insurrection. No wonder mother had warned me so. And yet, as I had grown l had taken my father’s cause as my own. l had known many folk who had been imprisoned, and killed, over the short years of my life, and that made my mind up for me. "I will do it,” I said quietly. "There is a market today. If we leave within the hour we can use that as cover. We can ﬁnd a place to wait and attack the Tolbooth tonight," Stewart explained, obviously pleased by my willingness. And so it was that I calne to be standing in the shadows on the opposite side of the street from the Tolbooth, watching intently as a patrol disappeared off into the night. I let out a shrill whistle as soon as they were out of sight and from dark doorways and alleyways the men emerged. 1 followed them to stand in the gloom beside the Tolbooth's doors. “Follow me lad," Grierson called to me as Stewart began to pound on the heavy doors with his lists. “I am to keep watch," I answered, bewildered. “No time for that now. You must steal the keys from the guard room and let loose the prisoners,” he replied, leaning close to me and speaking in a harsh whisper. Before I had time to consider this the doors swung open and Stewart threw himself at the unsuspecting guard who had opened them. The men poured ln behind them, with Grierson grabbing me by the wrist and pulling me after him. The corridor beyond was lamnted with ﬁghting men, their yelling and the ring of their blades almost deafening in the conﬁned space. Grierson pointed me towards a side door and lolned the melee, leaving me no choice but to obey. I had to duck and twist and weave my way around the men, aware of the ciamour coming from the cells beyond as the prisoners shouted encouragements and pleas. Almost at the door, i had to throw myself to the Harvest Thanksgiving, Baimaclellan Church 27th October, 7.30 gm Gallovidians Concert, New alloway Town Hall '*~: ‘_y Ii‘ 1' GLENKENS MEDICAL PRACTECE -"-'I-II§:':?;.§;I;I=.F§-E"_' i.

He advanced on rrre where I lay until Stewart appeared behind him and cut him down with a lethal thrust. I had to scrabble to avoid him toppling on me. Finally I found myself in the guardroorn, spying the keys hanging on a hook. I dashed for them, afraid of being followed, and ducked out of the room, the heavy keys langling noisily in my fist. My heart was thumping so and the din of the battle was such that I barely noticed the words of gratitude uttered to me as I unlocked the cell doors. i was not immune, however, to a wave of anger and revulsion that hit me as i looked on at the pitiful state of the prisoners. Many of them were not men like my father, or Stewart and Grierson, but old bent men, women and boys even younger than myself. So thin and weak were some of them that it seemed to take all of their strength lust to reach the cell door. An ancient lady staggered and practically fell on me, so i supported her, turning back to try and lead her through the ﬁghting men to the exit beyond. Griersorr and Stewart were pressing hard and forcing the guards back into the guardroom with their men, leaving a nruch clearer path back for me. Even so, I could not help but wonder what we were going to do with these poor, feeble folk who had done no greater wrong than to worship God in the way they had always done. Grierson answered my lears with a shout. “Get them to the cart lad, we will make our own way out of here!” Having no clearer clue what to do, I led the prisoners out onto the dark streets of the town, taking them straight down an alley and away from any likely patrols. As we scurried along, i could hear them muttering prayers. Somewhere in the distance I heard the Dragoons, their horses hooves ciattering noisily along the cobbled streets towards the Tolbooth. in fear, I practically lifted the woman i was helping off her feet and carried her to where we had hidden the cart. Shots rang out in the air, and the clash of steel became more pronounced. Desperately I urged everyone on faster, ﬁnding a reserve of strength in me that I never knew that I had. Finally, we reached the cart, and without a single glance back to see what might have become of Grierson and Stewart and the other men, I urged my horses to a canter and fled Kiri-tcudbright. to be continued...

Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB) is a very rare genetic condition in which the skin and body linings blister at the slightest knock or rub, causing painful, open wounds. At its mildest, the condition is confined to the hands and feet making holding things and walking extremely painful. In more severe forms all the body is affected and the wounds heal very slowly, giving rise to scarring, physical deformity and significant disability. People with the more severe types of EB also have an exceptionally high risk of developing skin cancers, shortening their lives by approximately 30-40 years. In its most severe form, the condition is fatal in infancy. For many sufferers the blistering is not limited to the outer body surfaces, but also affects the inner body linings, such as the mouth and oesophagus. The eating of solids is, in these cases, almost impossible, and the disposal of the body waste incredibly painful. Malnutrition is often a consequence when this occurs. Whilst considerable progress has been made in recent years in understanding EB and identifying the genes that cause the condition, there is as yet no effective treatment or cure. 1 | -‘Q; -Q’ About DebRA H." '- Established in 1978, DebRA is the only medical research and patient support charity in the UK working on behalf of people living with EB. DebRA Scotland was started in March 1994. 0 “\ Leading the world in identifying and funding specific research projects likely to lead to a cure and successful treatment for the condition ‘Iav .§';" ff ' I “Y 0 Providing specialist services not available through the NHS, to ease the pain and suffering of all children and adults affected by the condition. 0 Making skilled counselling and expert guidance on current legislation and governmental services available to EB families, to improve their quality of life 0 Raising awareness of the issues surrounding EB to the general public, healthcare professionals, schools and other interested parties. _ In Scotland there are no NHS funded treatment facilities at national or regional level. People affected by EB therefore not only rely very heavily on DebRA funded research to provide a long term answer to the illness, but are also almost entirely dependant on the range of specialist support services provided by the charity. These include travelling nurses able to visit children and adults in their homes, clinics, physiotherapy and dietetic services, equipment provision and respite holiday accommodation for families under severe pressure. Current activities - Research DebRA has an international reputation in funding high quality research into EB. Most of the major developments in knowledge have been initiated by DebRA funded research groups. Expenditure is guided by the International Medical and Scientiﬁc Advisory panel whose members include eminent scientists from Europe and the USA. DebRA UK manages the peer review process for all the EB research worldwide, enabling a strong focus to be maintained.Due to the development of genetic therapies over the last decade great advances in research into the Human Genome have been made. The genes for all main forms of EB are now known and, in the laboratory, the defects can be corrected at cellular level. Genetic therapies will continue to be a key element of DebRA research, but in addition, a major programme of research into cancers in EB (a signiﬁcant cause of early death in some forms of EB) is also being investigated. Scoﬂand Scotland now boasts the largest health care team in the world per head of population of those affected by EB however, with only one specialist per hundred patients, this is still not enough.

You could easily be confused for thinking that you were at Ascot, some outfits were outstanding with wellies & hats to match. The gents were equally well turned out in suits & kilts. The weather started off ﬁne as people began to arrive. Each race was penned separately and people were invited to study the form of the ‘ﬁllies’ before the racing began. Before each race lockeys were weighed in and strapped on their ﬁllies. They were then paraded in front of the starting line for all to see. Bets were placed and they were ofﬂ Unfortunately for most of the races the sheep decided what direction the race was being run - sometimes in both directions. Our young shepherds Laggan Nicholson and Craig Kerr were kept on their toes chasing the sheep along. Altogether there were 8 races with l non-starter. The Pigs pulled out at the last minute! The Chicken run proved entertaining 6 started 5 headed for the hills and l ﬁnished! In the end Scooby ‘ Doo, owned by young Hannah Grieve from New Galloway, won the race. ]ust as the Grand National, the biggest race of the day with 26 sheep racing, was about to start the heavens opened! This damped a few posh hats but not any of the enthusiasm. This was run over 2 laps and the winner was ‘Piglet’ owned by the McTurk family, Glenhowl, Dairy. Brian at Eileen Edgar and their group of bookies kept up well with the betting which was brisk all day. Mr er Mrs Plummer were the race officials for the day and kept a very strict eye on the proceedings but we only had one steward’s enquiry - soon sorted by ‘The Plummers'. Stormin' Nomian the Disco Dude kept everyone entertained all day with a deliverance of music in his own unique way while ]im, Ruth at Emma from the Thistle Inn Crossmichael kept the beer ﬂowing. The event cleared £1600. We are delighted and would like to thank everyone for their generosity, the race sponsors, the sheep ‘owners’, the donations of rafﬂe prizes, and everyone who helped out on the day. It was a tremendous day and ]amie, Susan at Cairan would like to thank everyone for coming along to support the event and we are looking forward to next year! AND THE NAME IS . . . IN THIS ISSUE». After much thought and deliberation it has been decided to call the new GOAT building The Catstrand - the word means ‘very small stream’ - and is the name of the burn that flows under the building. It also denotes the stream of activities in the Glenl-tens that will take place from the building and the many different strands of interest that will be covered. It's authentic, geographical and historical and hopefully is a name that will be easily remembered. 4-.

How many times have you passed that new glass-fronted shop/ofﬁce where the Garden Centre used to be on Dalry‘s Main Street, and wondered what they really do in there? Well, behind the slick glass front, Andrew Case and Ronnie Bradford are working hard at promoting our local area. For the ﬁrst time in its history the Southern Upland Way and the Glenkens now has it very own information centre providing useful information, including broadband internet access, and services to walkers and visitors alike. “The Southem Upland Way has been going for over 21 years” says Andrew “and during that time it has never had a base along the route where people can get information or walking supplies. it is also coincidental that for the ﬁrst time in 2| years, the Regional Council has recently appointed a Pronrotion and Business Development Officer for the Southern Upland Way, Tabitha Mudalalr, which makes the next few years even more encouraging for walking in the area”. But the nrain way they are getting the message of what there is to do around here is through the websites they have created. They have a number of websites up and running to promote the region, all ofwhich are proving to be very successful -— two of them, www.visitsouthemscotland.com and www .southernupiandway.com, currently attract over 70,000 visitors per month. With the other sites (see below) this then creates a network of 5 web portals with anticipated visitor numbers of 200,000 per month aimed at promoting the Gienkens and the whole of our region to a world wide audience. s ' . They are also involved in the initiative to name Dairy as ‘The Walking Town’, and to celebrate this with a week-long walking festival each year. They would like to see the local community reaping the beneﬁts of a higher number of walking related visitors. The success of this kind of branding is l’ ‘ 3]J[J3l'Ei'lf W|‘lEi1 W8 I00!-( Ronnie Bradford, Tabitha Mudaiair and at lwigtownts success as Andrew Case in the new office. the Book Town and Castle Douglas as the Food Town. Since the walk-in centre for Visitsouthemscotlandcom has been open on the Main Street in Dairy, they have had many visitors, showing the potential for this kind of information service within the Glenkens. As a belated opening celebration, Andrew and Ronnie would like to invite people to join them for mince pies and perhaps a wee dram on the afternoon of the Friday 15th December from 12 noon onwards - or feel free to call in when passing!

Fiona Mgckinngn CARSPHAIRN COMMUNITY COUNCIL in September several members of the Community Council had been present at the highly infomrative meeting held in Dairy with the Stewartry Community Safety Forum regarding the establishment of ﬁrst responder teams in the Glenkens. Following that meeting the Community Council, at its October meeting, agreed to take the matter further and invite a member of the Scottish Anrbuiarrce Service to come and demonstrate equipment used by First Responder groups and to give information to the residents of Carsphairn about the setting up of such groups. An election for members of the new Community Council was held on 5”“ October. The following were eiected:- Mrs Margaret Richmond, Miss Anne Rutherford, Mrs Sylvia Sinclair, Mrs Mary Pringie, Mr Matt Hickman, Mr Bill Wiseman, Mrs Linda Szafran and Mrs Elizabeth Holmes. At the ﬁrst meeting of the new Community Council on 23 October the ofﬂce bearers were elected — Mrs Margaret Richmond Chaimran, Mr Matt Hickman Vice Chainnan, Miss Anne Rutherford Secretary/Treasurer. Anna Campbell THE ROYAL BURGH OF KELLS COMMUNITY COUNCIL There were eight nominations received for the twelve vacancies on the new Community Council and therefore an election was not necessary on this occasion. An Extraordinary General Meeting was held on the 23“ October and was chaired by the Retumlng Ofﬂcer, Mr. ]. Clendinning. New Ofﬁce Bearers were appointed as follows : Chairman and Provost — Mrs. M. Sainsbury, Vice Chaimran - Mrs. M. Thomson, Treasurer — Mr. ]. McGaw. The other members of the Cornmunlty Council for the new tenn will be previous members Mr. V. Mcintosh, Mr. ]. Mciiienna and Mr. B. Edgar who will be lolned by new members Mr. A. Frew, Fox Hollow, New Galloway and Mr. ]. Condie, Forest View, Mossdaie. Mrs. Joan Berkeley will continue in her role as secretary. After her appointment as the new Provost, Mrs. Sainsbury paid tribute to the hard work and dedication shown by her predecessor, Mr. Gordon Lindsay, during his period in ofﬁce. She also thanked Mr. ]im Clerrdinning for acting as the Returning Ofﬁcer and carrying out his duties in a very efﬁcient manner. Routine business would be carried over to the next regular meeting on i3"‘ November, but arrangements were discussed for this year's Christmas activities. it was proposed that the Senior Citizen's Christmas Lunch would be held on Sunday I0“ December at the Kenmure Anns Hotel at l2.30 for 1.00pm. Provided that this was suitable to the hotel, full details would be circulated in due course. The Community Bus would again be available to provide transport for those who required it. Trees would be ordered as usual for New Galloway and for Mossdale and arrangements made with the council to erect and decorate them. Enquiries are also to be made about additional decorations and lights which could be used around the Town Hall. Following a request from the organising committee, a £50 donation was made towards the Halloween Party which is held annually in Dairy Town Hall and is attended by children from throughout the Glenkens. The councillors were disappointed to note that another long standing annual event which was also assisted by community council donations in the past, the Bonﬁre and Fireworks Display organised by the Gienkens Cubs, would not be taking place this year mainly due to new safety legislation for licensing public ﬁreworks events. The members were pleased to note that despite the wet start to this year's Alternative Games and the resultant smaller crowd than usual, it was still anticipated that a total of around £1,200 would be donated to charity. However, spiralling costs particularly for insurance and for advertising had not helped either and this would need to be carefully considered for future years. Continued from the front page...

The Metrodeck system now allows users of the hail to set up a variety of new and improved staging options. The new system can provide a bigger, more ﬂexible stage than before, and it can be set up at a variety of different heights and conﬁgurations, including tiered seating, catwaiks, theatre-in-the-round, etc. One innovation is to use the decks to provide tables for a series of monthly Craft Fairs and Farmers Markets, which are planned to start in 2007. This unique use of the staging system has been successfully tried out on a recent table top sale, organised by new committee member Andi Holmes, and held at the end of October. This event alone netted over £250 for Hall funds. Any local producers or craftspeople interested in booking a table at the one of the Farmers or Craft markets should get in touch with Market Manager, Jonathon Dawson, on 01644 430 461, or email: suzan ne'166@btinternet.com for more details.

The Mary Barclay band, who are showcasing material from their debut seif- penned album, will also be playing songs from their popular covers set list. Tickets for this event are available from Newtoniis Grocers and the Top Shop, both in Main St. Dairy, and are priced at £6.00 in advance or £7.00 on the door. There will be a licensed bar.

Training As I am sure you are aware, there has been some bad press locally for German Shepherds .q_. _. 7,; lately — there have been some incidents of Gennan Shepherds ‘ biting people and chasing sheep around Carsphairn. As with »-= . i#5" - A. any dog, these dogs need a "‘ responsible attitude to ownership and must to be trained properly. This does not mean you have to go regularly to a training class, it just means that your dog does as you say when you say it — you need to know that your dog is under your control in any situation. Eric Roberts, who has over 30 years of professional dog training experience, says ‘when a dog is not trained properly or out of control its ‘prey drive’ will often kick in...owners have a responsibility to keep their dog under control.’ Gemtan Shepherds are not any more vicious or dangerous than other clog breeds, despite what the media portrays at times. They are, however, big dogs. With big teeth. So if they do decide to bite something, they are going to do more serious damage than say a ]ack Russell Terrier. So if you are looking for a dog but don't have sufﬁcient time to spend training it properly, don't choose a Gemian Shepherd. YOUR DOG 1':-In-' German Shepherd Dog Breed History & Characteristics The German Shepherd's name was changed to Alsation after World War I as it was thought that to have the title ‘GerTnan' in the breed name would make the dog unpopular. in 1977, however, the name was changed back to Gennan Shepherd Dog (GSD), which is the breed title today. The breed was originally created by cross-breeding various shepherding dogs in and around Germany during the 18005. The qualities which were focused on were utility, intelligence and adaptability, and these characteristics allowed the dog to progress from a shepherding role to its much more varied role in the twentieth century. The German Shepherd has continued to be a working dog, playing its part in the Wars as a messenger dog, rescue dog, sentry dog and personal guard dog, then progressing into the ﬁelds of police work, as seeing eye dogs before the Labrador began to be used in this role, and as guard dogs. The German Shepherd Dog is an all-round breed — other breeds may surpass it on certain areas, but no other breed has been able to master such a wide range of skills. “'2'-"val. Main Uses in the Glenkens Gennan Shepherds are seen in the Gienkens mainly as pets, but owners often work them in obedience and working trials, which allows the dogs to use their physical and mental abilities to the maximum. You may also see these dogs working with local police and as guard dogs — two of their main roles in today’s society. Eric Roberts, who runs Calianway Dog Training School by Crocketford, says ‘the difference between what is classically called a guard dog and a trained protection dog is that a guard dog is often of a nervous disposition, left in a yard on a chain to bark, given very little socialisation, and so can be extremely unreliable. A trained protection dog, on the other hand, such as the police use, is kept at home with the family and is well trained, safe and reliable.’ Finding the Right Dog Unfortunately, due to the popularity of the breed over the last few decades, unscrupulous breeders have cashed in on this trend and created many dogs German Shepherd Dogs as Pets which do not come up to breed standards physically or psychologically. it is very important to consider what traits will cany into the next generation when breeding dogs, and if a dog has weak hips or an overly aggressive These dogs do not tend to take to people straight away but when they do, they form a strong bond to their owner or family. One of their roles is as a guard dog, so they have a strong instinct to bark, and also to protect the temperament, they should not be used to breed from. Many breeders who are iust out to make money take no heed of this. So be careful to buy a dog people they view as their pack, and their territory. This does not mean that they are going to attack anyone, but you must be aware that they have these instincts. They are loyal and very trainable, with the uncanny ability to reason when given a new situation to work out. German Shepherds love to work, from a reputable breeder — ask to see both parents if possible, and to see the puppies interacting with each other and the mother. And as with all large breeds, it is best to get a puppy whose parents have both been hip scored as and they also love to be with you. in general, they are happy if you are happy - they can run all day if that's what you want to do, or they can lust hip dlsplasia is most common In bigger dog breeds. For more information on where to get a good pet dog or working dog and as easily sleep ail day. But they do love to leam, and to challenge themselves physically. And it is best to keep their mind entertained so they don't decide to go and entertain themselves as this is when they get into trouble - it is how to train it, you can contact Eric Roberts on 01556 690647 or visit his website www.callanway.co.uk if you would like to adopt a dog, check out local rescue centres (Dumfries at Galloway Canine Rescue Centre - Oi 387 770 210 or SSPCA Dunragit sensible to NEVER let your dog roam on their own or with other dogs when you are not there (this goes for all breeds of dog).

O Ii -- Glenkens Gazette page 5 NEW GALLOWAY - i Our Historic Burgﬁ " by Helen Bolton - PART XXXIII L4 -5 in An Orkney Connection Any historical connection between the Glenkens and Orkney might at ﬁrst appear singularly improbable, but there is a strong link between these geographically well separated areas, datlrrg back to the Coverrantlrg times of the late l7th Century. The Battle of Bothweii Bridge took place on 22nd ]u|1e I679 following the success of the Covenanters at Drumclog, where they had managed to defeat Graham of Claverhouse and his dragoons. However, whereas Drumclog had been a success, Bothweii Bridge was a total disaster, with the Covenanters being soundly defeated by Tam Dalyeii and his army. More than 400 men were killed in the ﬁeld and a further 1,200 or so were rounded up and taken to Edinburgh, where they were irnprr'soned in Greyfriars Kirkyard. Five months later, after some had escaped and some had died from hunger and disease, others were tried, found guilty of rebellion and hanged. On l5th November the remaining 257 Covenanters were taken from the Kirkyard and herded to Leith. There a small ship lay out at Leith Roads. William Paterson, an Edinburgh merchant, had chartered a ship, "The Crown" of London {Captain - Thomas Teddico), to convey the prisoners across the Atlantic. The Covenanters were duly ferried out to the ship. So snrall was “The Crown" that when aIl 257 men were aboard, those who were in reasonably good condition had to remain standing to allow the sick to lie down! For twelve days the ship lay at Leith Roads, and during that time the good folk of Edinburgh, learning that these nren were to be sold in Barbados as slaves, had a collection and were able to give the Covenanters £l,000 sterling to help them when they reached the colonies. On 27th November "The Crown" eventually set sail and headed up the east coast of Scotland. Storms accompanied them on their voyage. On Vegas Entertainments Gospel Choirs Agency (est. 1964) Brian Lomas Parton Castle Douglas DG7 3FN Tel: O1 644 470370 Email: vegas@btoonneot.com wvvw.cast.org.ukIgospel.htm i0th December they reached Orkney and a particularly savage stonn and mountainous i seas greeted the ship as she rounded Mtrii Head, East Mainland, and Captain Teddico decided to drop anchor in Deer Sound. However, during the night the strong winds and heavy seas caused “The Crown” to drag her anchor and drift towards the coast. in the moonlight the wild cliffs of Deemess could be seen with the angry sea breaking against the rocks. The Covenanters tried to make a bid for freedom, but Captain Teddico ordered the hatches to be locked. However, just before the crew took to the small boat the nrate is said to have given someone the key. The crew landed with difficulty on the barren coast, and "The Crown" was driven ashore where she broke in two on the rocks. Those Covenanters who were able escaped from the fourrdering ship and got ashore clinging to broken planks, brrt the heartless captain and his crew forced them back into the wild sea to their deaths. 209 men were drowned at Deemess on that fearful night, and when their bodies were washed ashore later, the local people buried them on the cliff top at Scarva Taing. Of those who managed to survive the shipwreck, sonre settled on Orkney, and others made their way home where they continued to ﬁght for the cause. Among these were three men from the Gienkens, ]ohn Edgar from Balmacleiian, and ]ohn Smith, and ]ohn Malcolm, both from Dairy. Sadly, ]ohn Malcolm was unfortunately captured at Alrds Moss, Ayrshire,and was hanged at the Grassnrarket, Edinburgh on ist August I680. N0 Covenanters from the Glenkens were drowned at Deemess. Over 200 years later a Galloway man, Dr Robert Haiiiday Gtrnrring, who was born at Ruthwell, and brought up in Kirkbean, New Abbey and Dumfries, visited Orkney and was moved to support the erecting of a suitable memorial to those Covenanters who had lost their lives at Deemess. He pronrised a donation of at least £50, and an appeal was launched at a public meeting in the Old Town Hall, Kirkwali, in August I886. ]ust over £100 was raised and on 22nd August I888 an inauguration cerenrorry took place. On a ﬁne breezy afternoon over 500 enthusiastic people gathered at Deemess where the memorial, a 40 foot obelisk in Orkney stone, surmounted by a crown, had been built. A history of the rrrovement for the erecting of the monument, a copy of the appeal, a list of subscribers, a Bible, a set of ]trbilee coins, and copies of the newspapers from Orkney, Aberdeen, and Edinburgh were ' _ J set into a recess in the side of the monument, and a granite slab was placed over it, On the slab is the following inscription- “For Christ, His Crown and Covenant. Erected by Public Subscription To the memory of 200 Covenanters Who were taken pgisoner at Bothweii Bridge And sentenced trans orisetion for life, but who perished by shipwreck near this spot on 10th December 1679" it seemed very strange to stand on a remote headland on East Mainland, Orkney, beside a memorial to men from so close to home who had perished over 300 years ago for their religious beliefs. The erecting of the memorial at Deemess did not use all the nrorrey which had been donated, and a further monument, in the form of a polished red and grey Aberdeenshire granite fountain was erected almost inrnrediately in front of St Magrrtrs Cathedral in the centre of Kirkwali, This was put up in I890 on the site of the Old Town Hall where the initial meetings to discuss the Deemess memorial had been held. CARSPHAIRN HERITAGE GROUP The Heritage Centre officially closed on Sunday it‘ October but several private visits have taken place in October with a surprising number of other people calling in because they saw that the curtains were open. The last visitor on 23 October was an elderly gentiernan who had been born in the police house in the village in I922. The last visitor on the last day of the ofﬁclal season was born at the Eriff and iras already offered us some material for the 2007 exhibition which will be about sports in the parish. The ﬁnal tally of visitors for 2006 was lust over 1450, about I00 less than 2005 which is slightly disappointing but trnderstandabie when one notices that the drop was nearly all in ]uly, a month that we will all remember for its wonderful weather.

CIFTI-IE GLEBIKEIQS '- The idea of the History Stop is for it to be a central reference point, or hub, where pneople can access information on local history for the who e of the Glenkens. embers of the public will he able to find information in a variety of ways - there will be a touch screen computer, leaﬂets, maps and guide books, so people can ‘mix and match‘. They can then choose to focus on an area and visit sites around it, or to focus on a particular topic and visit sites related to that topic over a larger area. The Glenkens has been called the ‘heart of Galloway‘ for its richness of historical information and events, and has also been referred to as the ‘cradle of Scottish independence’ due to Robert the Bruce‘s early activities here. it would be nice to think that the new centre will become known for, among other things, its historical research. if I were trying to sell the History Stop like l would sell a car, l would say zero to sixty in two thousand years!’ The only reason that we have access to local history is through the interest, research and hard work of local people. At the History Stop ‘we would really like to make the information gained by so many dedicated people available to the general public‘ says Bob Martin, project coordinator. And to do that they need volunteers. As a trained historian, Bob Martin is more than willing to help local volunteers to follow a topic in which they have an interest — to point them In the right direction and help them to put their ﬁndings in order. Bob states that ‘we would like to allow people to share in the excitement of discovery, and to get the pleasure of the little known facts of the area in which they live -—- to enjoy the passion local history can involve!‘ The initial ten topics which will be focused on are: 0 Literature 0 Covenanters 0 Wars of Independence I The First Millennium at The Hydro-electric Scheme 0 Education 0 The Gordon Family 0 Castles 0 I Alexander Murray rr James Clerk Maxwell 0 if anyone has an interest in another area, please contact Bob as they would be pleased to include that also -— these are just areas to go from as a starting point. Bob Martin says ‘we would like to work with schools and local organisations, and are more than happy to give talks about what we are doing. Anyone who would like to be involved in helping to impart information on the project and local history please do get in contact with me. Bob lirllartin has an honours degree in Scottish History from St. Andrews University and is working as a freelance historian for GCAT, coordinating the History Stop.

FUNDRAISING FOR FUN! On November 3"‘ in Dairy Town Hall, the people of the Glenkens were lucky enough to enjoy the talent of the well known band, “Not Guilty”. Susan, ]amle and Cairan Murdoch organised the enjoyable evening in aid of the Gienkens Agricultural Show as well as manning the bar alongside Diane and Mark Glasby and Kate and Marcus Maxwell who took tickets. The effort made was evident the instant you walked in the door, with the hall having had a complete makeover. Balloons, witches’ cauldrons, googleeyed spiders and spooky skeletons gave the room a fun, Halloween feeling. There were also some very impressive, famous appearances, which could easily have resulted in rivalry as “Wonderwoman” and “Batwoman” both showed up! From the moment the band kicked off, the atmosphere in the hail was electric wi'th classics like Van Morrison’: “Brown eyed girl,” making dancing compulsory! Aaron Edgar said “i had been looking forward to the night for so long; it was certainly worth the wait!"

The Buchanites ﬁrst came to prominence in Irvine but from there they travelled to Ciosebum, then Auchengibbert and Kirkgunzeon before trying to settle in Crocketford. They believed that they were the chosen few; that they would be carried to Heaven by angels when the world came to a ﬁery end, leaving Crocketford as "the last island in a sea of brimstone". Taken from the account of Andrew lnnes, whose devotion to ‘Mother Buchan’ caused him to keep her corpse in his home for ﬁfty years, the themes of the play had a contemporary resonance: they touched on religious division and the waging of war in the name of God; the ordination of women; Marxist feminism; the politics of sexuality; personal and economic freedom; the paradigm of belief and liberation theology. Brilliant performances by Annie Grace as Elspeth Buchan and Matthew Zajac as Andrew lnnes (and a host of other characters) held the audience throughout as they conjured up a world of death, despair and delusion in Scotland following the failure of Bonnie Prince Charlie's rebellion and the rise of the roman Anti-Christ. Designer David Ramsay's set allowed only one prop: a masterly multi-functional chest skillfully used by the actors to — create colﬁns, doorways, prison cells, churches, houses, fumiture and architectural features. Between them they populated their world with followers, churchmen, ofﬁcers of the law, l8th century neds and, in an hilarious aside, two irreverent tartan-clad stick puppets from irvine. it was easy to forget that there were only two actors in the cast; a suspension of disbelief helped by the complementary ﬁddle playing of Galloway-raised Amy Geddes, whose live music added layers of atmosphere to an already dark and brooding tale. Cara Wiseman's lighting showed off Angelina Gerrard’s elegantly simple costumes to great effect and gelled with Andy Thorbum’s evocative sound design. The whole package was neatly held together by Shoito Bruce and Karen Sutherland on stage management and publicity. This was an excellent example of inspirational small scale touring theatre. A powerful story exploded on to the stage in the hail of Dairy School in the hands of two actors armed only with a folding box, a few lights, some sticky tape and a small technical crew. But, like the swan, the smooth movement on the surface belies the frantic activity beneath. What the audience don’t see is the paddling by the theatre company, the Scottish Arts Council, Dumfries and Galloway Arts Association and the Glenkens Community and Arts Trust who all played their part in bringing “The Heretic's Tale" to the Stewartry. if this ﬁne quality can be maintained then long may they continue to do so.

There was a wonderful response and ’Hazel's' even scoured through boxes and donated items at the request of one enterprising Glerrkens resident. l On the ﬁrst Thursday that we were there Nadlla, our receptionist and interpreter at the Healing Hands Clinic, explained that she had arranged for someone from the CCV (Concentration Camp Victims) Association to come and collect all the bags. l it had been a demanding day, and my ﬁnal client that afternoon i was sitting in the ofﬁce chatting to Nadija. “Do you remember Jasmina?" Nadila asked. I didn't but as she had been a victim herself she was booked in for a treatment with me. lasmina had started the sewing school and she thanked me very much for all the haberdashery that I had brought. Nadlla then went on to translate that lasmlna had not been feeling very good, that she had headaches and a lot of pressures and was working many hours for the CCV. lasmina is a Muslim and when the Serbs attacked she had been living in East Bosnia (they often avoid saying Srebrenika because the memories of the massacre there are still so raw, ]asnrlna's father's body was only found last year.) A Serb neighbour handed the sixteen year old Iasmina her baby sister as she ﬂed. Neither of them saw their mother again for ﬁve years, and the child looked upon Jasmlna as her mother. Their mother had no idea whether they had survived. As well as her Father, ]asmlna lost a brother and a sister, one other brother and one other sister survived. None of them have retumed to their original home. Bosnia is still recovering from the War and there are still many problems economically and emotionally and physically. Healing Hands is a small charity that sends out therapists for six months every year who try to alleviate some of the traumas resulting from the conﬂict. At least four therapists have volunteered from Kirkcudbrightshire over the years.

Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a HAPPY NEW YEAR A WORKING WEEKEND AT THE GREEN HOUSE the years, including the Windy Standard site, near Carsphaim However those with back-of garden renewable aspirations were able to ﬁnd kindred spirits amongst the staff with, the Green House serving as a tangible example of what can L be achieved by sustainable, T energy-efﬁcient architecture. l As the weekend drew to a I \ close having secured funds for. J Macmillan Cancer Support of over £480 and with 500 visitors having passed through, the most exciting, enthusiastic and innovative contribution to the event was in the process of being appraised. Local youngsters from Glenkens‘ schools had diligently produced a stream of renewable energy related drawings and paintings for an art competition, transforming the Green House oiﬁce reception with a cascade of imaginative images - with such a high pedigree of renewable energy enthusiasm just waiting to come forward from the younger generation, it seems certain that the Glenkens renewable energy buzz is here to stay. by 5O,,a;d 3p,,;,S Most people are aware of the buzz currently surrounding renewable energy. What less people are aware of, however, is just quite how much of this buzz has found its way to the Glenkens, with one company in particular, Natural Power, operating at the heart of both the renewables sector and the Glenkens. Over the ﬁrst weekend in October, the Glasgow bom, Norwegian adopted and now Glenkens based renewable energy consultancy Natural Power decided to team up with their landlord, The Forrest Estate, to participate in the DetG wide ‘Doors Open Day‘ initiative. The aim was to allow anyone the chance to ﬁnd out more about the company and estate and their ﬁelds of work. As well as being able to ask questions of the company staff present, visitors were also invited to chow down on a tasty barbecue provided with remarkable culinary aplomb by local girls Margaret Sainsbury and Liz Ramsay in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support. There were ‘alternative’ sports on offer too (to go with the altemative energy) with Morag Patterson being on hand to give lessons in axe throwing (not as daunting as it ﬁrst seems), Alan Turnbull patiently demonstrating the reﬁned skills of archery and, for the young at heart, no less fun (but arguably less skill!) was involved during the ‘splat the rat’ competition. Teas and coffees were generously provided by members of the Glenkens’ MacMiilan Cancer Support team.

With this in mind, our GYRO-scope project, “Glenkens Youth and Recreational Opportunities” kicked off recently. We held one meeting for primary age range along with their mums and one for the secondary age range. The purpose of the meetings was to make young people aware of the work Glenkens Community at Arts Trust was doing and to inspire them to start to think about what they want from the new centre. 1 What facilities are needed in the Glenkens that aren't already provided? 2 What interests local young people? 3 How can the new centre help young people achieve their aspirations and goals? The Secondary meeting was very productive and lots of ideas were discussed. Popular threads of thought included holding regular band nights for young people, as there are lots of young people involved with band projects who would appreciate the opportunity to perfomr live. Continuing with the idea of performance, it was proposed that youth should take responsibility in not only organising the event, but also taking care of the technical side of things. Perhaps to train some young people to control lighting and sound systems, particularly if there are any individuals interested in following in the fleid as a career. Sarah Ade, the coordinator of the "Glenkens Gazette” expressed interest in ﬁnding new sources for contributions for the new Youth Page. This means an opportunity for young people to have the freedom to write about matters, which they feel are important and also gain experience in journalism. Sports was talked about with lots of different possibilities suggested, such as inviting a sports personality to talk and coach local young people and setting up a class for indoor sports such as boxing. Finally, a youth club was also a popular idea for the new centre. it could provide information on life skills for example, C.V writing, money management, cooking skills, job opportunities and stress management. it was decided that the ﬁrst Wednesday evening of every month at 4:30pm was when this group would meet in the GCAT oiﬁce, anyone is welcome to come along or ifyou wish to contribute the Gazette, phone the GCAT oiﬁce on 4203 74. The primary age range meeting was also constructive as parents were accompanied by their children who had equally as much input. A few of the I On Saturday‘ 10"‘ of February, the RSAMD will return to the Glen ens to ‘provide a “Come and Try" day for traditional music an drama at Dairy Secondary School from 1pm until 5pm. This is an informal opportunity to either try out an instrument you have always fancied having a go at, or just want to find out more about learning music or drama through the RSAMD. It is open to all young people so whether you have experience or are a comp ete novice, come along and have a go! Y dance has retumed for a new season at Dairy Secondary School with two sessions held every Thursday until the i4"‘ of December. The company, which coaches street and hip hop dance, is very impressed by the talent our area iras to offer. One class is held during school time, while the other iis after school and open to all primary and secondary pupils. Participants get the opportunity to dance to modem, popular tunes and deviise their own routines. it's lots of fun and a great way to improve you’re dancing skills - why not come along, whether you have been before or have no dancing experience, there's something for everyone! The classes are free and if you attend six sessions over the course, you will receive a free YDance T-shirt and water bottle! Transport may be available home (ONLY to Glenkens addresses) but must be booked at least three days in advance. For more infonnation, or to book a place on the bus, please call the GCAT ofﬁce on 420374. YDance will visit in the Spring, on the 3'" of March, again in Dairy Secondary School with two workshops, starting at ipm and 2pm which will result in a perfomrance in the evening, at 7:30pm. The production is called "Risk" and is aimed at young people and the situations many find themselves spiralling into during their teen years. ]oy-riding, "Trainsuriing”, grafﬁti, drugs and theft are themes which are explored in order to express a young person’s need for freedom and to discover who they are. The day will be coordinated by professional dancers and choreographers and promises to be a worthwhile and fun experience. More infomration will be available in the next issue of the Glenkens Gazette. any ideas for the Youth in the Gazette orforyouth related mums expressed an interest in using the new centre on school holidays for organised activities. This would provide an aim for attending children to aspire to if incorporating with RSAMD or YDance links as time spent rehearsing could result in performance. The possibility of RSAMD tutors visiting the new centre every three weeks was mentioned which would mean the advantage of additional in the CatStrand please ;;dJ0 on 01644 420374. 7 instruction for children already receiving lessons or if there was a specific demand, for individuals to be tatlght teaching skills. Another popular idea discussed was the possibility of fonning a GCAT membership scheme for young people. This would mean young people feeling more independent and more predominant in youth matters of GCAT. Film in the new centre could mean a regular club, which could include classic films, Children would then get “the cinema experience" as apposed to watching a DVD at home. The garden of the new centre was also discussed, with the consensus being the need to seek out volunteers for the community garden project. A rockery and herb plants would optimise the advantage of a low maintenance yet colourful garden as well as linking in with nature and any cookery training.

We hope to have a page committed exclusively to GYRO Scope (Glenkens Youth and Recreational Opportunities) and so call upon any young people in the Glenkens who have ideas or anything they feel is pressing and want to include on the new page. All input is valuable and we will consider all ideas put forward. Details about the RSAMD and YDance will be on the page as well as an update from the newly appointed GYRO Scope committees, there will also be space for anything else of interest that young people would want included The purpose of the website is to keep young people informed about activities they can take part in and benefit from, in their area as well as achieve feedback on what GCAT is doing for young people. We want the page to be run by young people, for young people. There is freedom for any iindlviduals who are interested in developing features like biogs, visual arts, animation and music. We are also interested in finding someone who would like to take the responsibility of artistic director to design the look of the page, to make it colourful, appealing and relatable. it is a great opportunity to have some fun creating a useful and interesting feature.

'I‘i~r- IE-if: Glenkens Gazette page I4 ®EW ®F J M@@§a Q Q? A dramatised interpretation by Angela Miller I woke long before dawn, and detem1Ined not to disturb Mother or my siblings, I slipped as quietly from the bed room as possible. Since the raid in Kirkcudbright two nights before, I had been lumping at shadows, terriﬁed that Claverhouse would know that I had been involved and bring his wrath down on my family. I could stand it no longer, so last night I detemrined that I would take a bag of supplies and disappear off into the hills after my father. One of the men involved in the raid had let it slip that father was hiding out at Auchenioy, by the Black Water of Dee. So it was that half an hour later I was on the road with a backpack of food, heading in that general direction. The ﬁrst rays of sunlight were peaking over the hills, but all around there was a thick, icy fog which crept up the river basin on tendril ﬁngers. I could only barely see where I was going or what lay ahead of me. I nearly lumped clean out of my skin when I heard a sudden whisper in my ear. “You should be careful out here lad, Claverhouse is upon the roads with his men,” I tumed, afraid of what I might ﬁnd and saw that it was Robert Ferguson who stooped down to speak In my ear. "I was going to my father," I told him in my defence. "And ye could have led a dragoon to him unknowing walking is such a dwam along these roads." My mouth dropped open and I stuttered, trying in vain to explain myself, but Ferguson simply smiled and shook his head. He took me by the arm and lead me off the road and into the ﬁeld. “i’li guide you there boy,” he began "By a safer road, although you must stay close to me in this fog." How thankful I was that he found me, for less than two minutes later we heard the sound of many horses hooves upon the road and looked to see soldiers on it, their shadowy shapes picked out in the fog by the lamps they carried to see by.

Dairy Church. 31st December, 10.30 am We walked the many miles to the Black Water, the icy fog lifting slowly under the sluggish winter sun. We crossed bogs and burns and followed deer tracks through the forests, always wary that we might be followed or seen by Claverhouse's men as they combed the countryside. Finally, with the fog still roiling about the feet of the trees though the day was almost half gone, we came to Auchenloy, where my father and his companions had made camp. Though they were hardy men, the bitter cold and privation seemed to be beginning to take their toll. Wariness of being found prevented them from lighting a lire that might have otherwise improved their lot. They fell gratefully on the bannocks, cheese and cold meat that I had brought and my father praised me highly for my thoughtfulness. To see him alive when I had feared him dead until 2 days before cheered me greatly, and for a while I forgot my fears and sat and listened to the chatter of the men as I had done many times throughout my childhood. That it would be the last time I would do this, the last time I would speak with them, the last time I would see my father alive and without care I did not realise at the time. Now the laughter rings hollow in my mind for it was that sound that brought the dragoons down upon us. They came on foot, silent as foxes, hidden by the fog and caught us all by surprise. A shot rang out and Ferguson fell dead to the ground. I felt my feet rooted to the ground in shock as I stared at the corpse of a man who had been alive bare seconds before. “Run iadi" my father bellowed, tearing me from my frozen state. He leaped to his feet, pistol and sword drawn already. I needed no second telling and ﬂew headlong for the tree-line, but there I stopped, not wanting to leave my father again. Now, in some ways, I wish I had not. Graham of Claverhouse and his bloody band of Dragoons stepped out of the fog, muskets trained on my father and his cronies. “James Mc Michael!" he roared and I saw my father step forward, his head held high. "That is I" he told the sheriff. With a wave of his hand, Claverhouse halted his men and strode forward to face my father, giving no heed to the weapons my father had drawn. "You are under arrest for the murder of Pierson of Carsphalm and treason against his majesty, Charles Ii. I advise you to come quietly,” he said in a voice as cold as the fog. "You know I will not," my father replied. Claverhouse turned to his men and pointed at where my father’s friends stood behind him. “Shoot them,” he ordered. Gunshot tore the air like a thunderstorm broken right overhead. Robert Stewart and ]ohn Grierson fell dead. In the forest I stood aghast, unable to tear my eyes away. “I'll not be your trophy catch, Claverhouse. You'll either have to kill me or be killed trying to take me," My father told him, without a waver in his voice. “You think you're a match for me McMichaei?" Claverhouse asked, his voice coloured with scorn. He drew his sword, "Let's see how much of a fool you are." My father tossed his pistol to the ground and grinned. “Single combat, Sheriff," he said, issuing the challenge. Claverhouse replied by crossing swords with my father and the ring of steel echoed in the frigid air. Father roared like an angered bull and rained blows on Claverhouse, forcing him backwards. But Ciaverhouse's skill with the blade was not small and after his initial surprise at Father’s fury he foughtback. They wentto and fro several times and Claverhouse began to be frustrated as my fathers skill was more than he had imagined. Again father fought him back with a furious volley of blows and Claverhouse missed his footing on the wet ground. Father lunged and there was a dull clang as his sword met the metal of Ciaverhouse's helm. Claverhouse staggered back, his pride as stung as his crown. “Had your helmet been like mine,” my father snarled, pointing to the soft bonnet on his head,"Your carcass had now found a bed upon the heathi" There was triumph in father’s voice, but alas, it was to be short lived! For as he they fought I had spied that one of Claverhouse’s dragoons had moved away from the rest and he stooped to take a large stone. I was frozen and made dumb with fear, somethingofwhich I am not proud to this day, and I could not ﬁnd my voice when I saw the dragoon slip silently up behind my father as he spoke. I saw him raise the rock up high, and still the cry I longed to utter remained caught within my throat. Then the dragoon dashed it down up on my father's skull, cleaving it open. in my horror my knees went from under me, bile rising fast in my gullet. I was aware of more shots ringing through the air and somehow a sense of self-presentation took over and I stumbled back to my feet and ﬂed. in life, as well as death my father was a man of indomltablespiritandsomewhatrecklesscharacter, yet not a day goes by that I do not mourn his loss or wish that I had a little more of his strength of will. The Killing Times are long behind us, and graves erected for many of the Martyrs who died in those days. Often I sit by the stone that marks the ﬁnal rest of Robert Stewart and ]ohn Grierson and ponder their cruel fate. But never far from my mind is the martyr who isn't buried there, the Martyr who knows no true rest. My father, ]ames Mc Michael.

Glenkens Gazette page I 5, WHAT IS EB? Epidermoiysis Bullosa (EB) is a very rare genetic condition in which the skin and body linings blister at the slightest knock or rub, causing painful, open wounds. At its mildest, the condition is confined to the hands and feet making holding things and walking extremely painful. in more severe forms all the body is affected and the wounds heal very slowly, giving rise to scarring, physical deformity and significant disability. People with the more severe types of EB also have an exceptionally high risk of developing skin arr. -r cancers, shortening their lives by approximately 30-40 years. In its most severe form, the condition is fatal in infancy. For many sufferers the blistering is not limited to the outer body surfaces, but also affects the inner body linings, such as the mouth and oesophagus. The eating of solids is, in these cases, almost impossible, and the disposal of the body waste incredibly painful. Malnutrition is often a consequence when this occurs. Whilst considerable progress has been made in recent years in understanding EB and identifying the genes that cause the condition, there is as yet no effective treatment or cure. -_-it _ _ t 1 II?" About DebRA Established in 1978, DebRA is the only medical research and patient support charity in the UK working on behalf of people living with EB. DebRA Scotland K was started in March 1994. at 0 it. .1-'1» @- Leading the world in identifying and funding specific research projects likely to lead to a cure and successful treatment for the condition Providing specialist services not available through the NHS, to ease the pain and suffering of all children and adults affected by the condition. it r -N 0 Making skilled counselling and expert guidance on current legislation and governmental services available to EB families, to improve their quality of life 0 Raising awareness of the issues surrounding EB to the general public, healthcare professionals, schools and other interested parties. it in Scotland there are no NHS funded treatment facilities at national or regional level. People affected by EB therefore not only rely very heavily on DebRA funded research to provide a long term answer to the illness, but are also almost entirely dependant on the range of specialist support services provided by the charity. These include travelling nurses able to visit children and adults in their homes, clinics, physiotherapy and dietetic services, equipment provision and respite holiday accommodation for families under severe pressure. Current activities - Research DebRA has an international reputation in funding high quality research into EB. Most of the major developments in knowledge have been initiated by DebRA funded research groups. Expenditure is guided by the international Medical and Scientiﬁc Advisory panel whose members include eminent scientists from Europe and the USA. DebRA UK manages the peer review process for all the EB research worldwide, enabling a strong focus to be maintained.Due to the development of genetic therapies over the last decade great advances in research into the Human Genome have been made. The genes for all main forms of EB are now known and, in the laboratory, the defects can be corrected at cellular level. Genetic therapies will continue to be a key element of DebRA research, but in addition, a major programme of research into cancers in EB (a signiﬁcant cause of early death in some forms of EB) is also being investigated. Scotland as Scotland now boasts the largest health care team in the world per head of population of those affected by EB however, with only one specialist per hundred patients, this is still not enough.

Visiting speakers entertained a packed Lagwyne Hall and were much appreciated by the knowledgeable local audience. The haggis was piped in by Mr Andy McCartney, a regular welcome visitor and the evening was, as usual, ably chaired by Anna Campbell. Mr Roblnl Wallace was invited to ‘Address the Haggis’ which was done with much gusto and skill! David Bartholomew gave the Selkirk Grace and this was followed by the traditional meal of haggis, neeps ‘n tatties. Mr Harry Monteith from Stranraer outlined Rabbie Burns’ complex lifestyle with an intuitive T mix of anecdotes and quotes from the Bard and asked the audience to be upstanding to toast Robert Burns. Two Burns songs were performed by our local Glenkens Singers and much enjoyed by those attending. After the interval (necessary to allow glasses to be re-charged), Mr Neale McQuistin proposed a Toast to the Lassies. It was explained by Neale, how he saw the Lassie's role in Burns time and how really, it had not changed much now ie — they were still in charge! Robin Wallace, whose father, grandfather and brothers had all perfonned at Carsphairn Burns j Supper in previous years, carried on the tradition by giving a ﬁery presentation of Willie Wastle .'!'. j which had the audience on its toes. This was followed by his wife Fiona, in excellent fonn, 1 replying on behalf of the Lassies. Fiona really tried to think of some ways to be complimentary to ‘the Laddies', but eventually it was agreed that even Rabbie Burns thought that men could just not live without them. The evening was rounded off with some community singing accompanied by ]ean Mason, a vote of thanks to all the artistes from David Gibbon and Auld Lang Syne. Glenkens Gazette l page 2 I LOCAL ARTISTS Sally Campbell So how and when did you get into making music? l started writing my own songs when I was 16, but didn't really think about music as a career until last year. I got a business startup grant from the Business Gateway, which allowed me to get a new guitar and help market and promote myself. Anti I5 It going ll‘l the direction you want it to? lt’s been ups and downs but now its going really well — l am just in the process of making a new cd, featuring lots of other great musicians both local and from further aﬁeld, which will be on sale in Barnstonn and HMV as soon as it is released. How do you think the local music scene here in the Glenkens has changed since you were 16? think it has deﬁnitely improved - there are so many young musicians and really good bands around, and loads of live music nights. When l was at school we were in a band and we were the only band at school. Now there are lots - enough to put on regular band nights. So will you let us know when your cd is released? Yes, I will — and if you want to find out more about my music, and hear some, visit: www.myspace.com/sallycampbellmusic Sally will be performing at local music festivals ‘World Ceilidh‘ and ‘The Wicl-terman’ this year. AFGI-IAN SCHOOLS TRUST - UPDATE 473 The initial aim of the Afghan Schools programme was to respond to local demand‘ by funding the first secular I schools in Nuristan, an isolated highland province where international agencies have been unable to operate. The ﬁrst two schools were established in Katigal, and kept running in spite of a legacy of 23 years of war and continuing disturbances nearby. This was in 2001, and ,, they are still ﬂourishing. Now two more have also been opened, and the Afghan government has recognised the success of the schools and has taken over the running costs, allowing the Trust to put funds into other necessary areas. Good progress has been made with the much needed mother and child health care programme, through which a local female doctor is ‘ _ ‘--n .- . y running courses for women so that they can perform health care duties ; in their own villages. Many fund raising events have been held, such as -1. sponsored hill walks, a sponsored zip-slide across the Clyde, attendance at local festivals, fundraising talks and various supportive groups have raised funds in aid of the Trust, and of course the main reason all this has been able to come about is through the generous and continuous support of local people. Let’s see what can be achieved in 2007!

However, the Senior Citizens of the Village and outlying area attended the annual Christmas Lunch which was well enjoyed by everyone at the Kenbridge Hotel. December also saw a new fundraising event in the Village in the fonn of the Childrens Christmas Party which had a visit from Balmacleilan's very own Santa Claus and the children each received a srrrall gift and enjoyed lots of party games. This was followed in the evening by a Christmas Dance for the adults which was well attended and made a proﬁt of approximately £200. Many thanks to all those who organised these events and made donations of baking, food, decorations for hall and of course Santa and all the helpers.

Anna Campberr THE ROYAL BURGI-I OF KELLS COMMUNITY COUNCIL A successful Christnras Lunch was held for the Senior Citizens of the Parish in the Kenrnure Anns Hotel on December l lth. Thanks were expressed to Mr at Mrs Branrrock and staff and to Tommy Edgar for providing the entertainment. The Christmas Tree at the Burgh Sign was much admired and accepted as one of the best ever. New cables were purchased this year as the old ones no longer met the safety standards. The Community Council greatly appreciate the cooperation of Mr at Mrs Vincent for allowing the lights to be powered from their electricity supply. Plans have been agreed to install a pemranent electricity supply to the Burgh Sign which will enable it to be illuminated throughout the year and also include a safe connection for the Christmas Tree. Thanks are also due to Forrest Estate who kindly supply the trees for New Galloway and for Mossdale every year. it is hoped that more decorations would be available for decorating the Town Hall for Christmas 2007. A small amount of money is to be made available to each cornrnunlty in the Stewartry District to be used for general clean up work and repairs. Several urgent jobs were identiﬁed including cleaning and repainting the Town Hall exterior, repair of several summer seats and refurbishment of the Burgh Sign. Continued efforts are being made to progress the provision of additional lay-bys on the west bank of Loch Ken.

The Annual General Meeting of the Glenkens Business Association was held on Tuesday 16"‘ January 2007, at 7pm in the Kenbridge Hotel, New Galloway. The evening began with a very interesting talk from Keith Muir, who is Head of Recreation and Environment for the Galloway Forest Park. He gave an overview of the size of the Park in relation to other forest areas in Scotland, highlighting some of the recent improvements they have made. He went on to outline some of the plans to attract more visitors to the Park areas, including creating more routes for mountain biking and other cycling together with other schemes aimed at drawing visitors right through the Park area. This was followed by the business part of the meeting with reports from the various ofﬁce bearers. The chairman reported on what had been happening in the Association over the last year, beginning with a brief summary of a meeting in Castle Douglas about plans to set up a region wide Chamber of Commerce for Dumfries and Galloway, followed by news of the Business Directory. it is planned to produce a new Directory in April, so it is vital that members renew their subscriptions (£20) by contacting the Treasurer at bobandnette@waitrose.com, or on 01644 420226, or the secretary at secretary@glenkens-business-association.org.uk, or on OI644 430162 before the end of February if they wish to be included in the updated version. Finally the Chair reported on a recent meeting with Business Gateway and Company Training solutions and provided details of upcoming talks which will include Damien Wilson, Operations Manager for Regeneration and Europe with Dumfries and Galloway Council, who will talk about Economic Regeneration on February 20"“ at the Kenbridge Hotel at 7pm.

But their ancestry actually goes back to Roman times. The Romans brought the dogs with them as cattle dogs for driving the cattle which fed the troops. In Rome, the Rottweilers' ancestors, though very different from the dog we know today, were used to ﬁght big cats in arnphitheatres, usually two or three dogs ﬁghting one lion. After the Romans had been driven out of Rottweii, some of their dogs were left behind and over time the locals began using these dogs for various purposes. Their most popular use was by butchers and cattle farmers, as the dogs could tend their stock and also carry their money around their neck, safe from thieves. The dog became known as the ‘metzgerhund', or ‘butcher's dog’, before it developed the name we know it by today — the Rottweiler. Breed Characteristics Rottweilers are large, heavily built dogs with a short black and tan coat. They used to always have a docked tail but this practice is generally frowned upon now, so it is becoming more common to see Rottweilers with nomral tails. As you can see from their breed history, they have had both herding and guarding instincts bred into them. This means that: 1* You must make sure that you are the boss ~ don’t get a Rottweiler if you have little self-conﬁdence and ﬁnd it hard to assert yourself, as the dog will soon take advantage of this and become the ‘pack leader’. The dog has been bred to protect its ‘pack’ (you and your family) and home, so good training is needed to make sure the dog is well and truly under your control - you don’t want your dog taking matters into its own paws, as it were, and deciding, for example, that old Mrs McTavis7r from next door is a threat to his pack and as he is the leader he has to deal with the situation...lt is dangerous to get a big dog with guarding instincts and not spend the necessary time on initial training and socialisation, and also keeping on top of training throughout the dog's life. Better breeds of dog for the less assertive person would be a Shetland Sheep Dog or a Golden Retriever, as these breeds have a more socially subordinate disposition and are not bred to guard. ' Never let a Rottweiler roam free {this goes for any breed) as their herd instinct will most probably kick in and they are likely to end up trying out their chase on the nearest sheep/cat/cyclist/car and injuring either themselves or something else. Also, if you are going to let your dog off-leash, even in your company, you must be sure that he will respond to your call, even if he has seen something he would like very nruch to investigate. Otherwise your dog is out of control, and this is a dangerous and irresponsible situation. But it also means that: ‘The Rottweiler is a natural guard dog, and doesn't need to be trained to keep an eye open for prowlers. Also, they have a good sense of what you are feeling so if you are in a situation where you feel threatened, it’s most likely that your dog has picked up on your fear and will move closer to you, perhaps in between you and the threat, and be ready to defend you if need be. Rottweilers also work as a great deterrent — they are large and dark and ominous looking, so anyone thinking about doing something nasty to you or your property might well think again if there is a Rottie in the vicinity. ' Dogs bred for herding tend to have a caring, patient side to them — they ~rrI$"»§.'~=. is S ..._ (5, r IVI E A L S B 12.00 be_cI and on sulte aoc.0 § O1 644 4 muil@kenbrid wwwnkenbridg ~.._,=¢3-.

" ,- years, says: “They are very intelligent, loyal and responsive.” However, she stresses the need for good handling: “Any dog requires training, but, because they're large, they do require direction. Unfortunately, rottweiiers became popular with the nracho section of the public.” A dog's behaviour is usually the result of the way it has been treated by people. And the Rottweilers' background is testimony to this — with their loyal temperament and big heart, it was no wonder the butchers of Rottweil would trust them with their livelihood. They respected their dogs, and their dogs understood the special place they held in their owner's lives.

Rottweilers as Pets TRADITIO ff? " " These dogs make wonderful, rewarding pets — if you have the time and energy to put into them. They do need a large amount of training and socialisation, and are happiest when they are with you so the more time you spend on them the better.

Tire ﬁrst ever production was a variety show entitled ‘The Clachan Capers’ staged in Dairy Town Hall. in 1974 the ﬁrst Parrtonrinre, ‘Mother Goose’, was so popular that an extra nratirree perfonrrarrce irad to be added on the Saturday aftenroon to rrreet the derrrarrd for tickets! Tire annual panto went on to becorrre an institution, selling out a four night run at it’s peak in the 70's, 80's at 90's. Since the late 90's, for various reasons there has not been a panto every year but after a two year break the tradition was revived at Christmas 2006 with a very successful and well received production of ‘Little Bo Peep’ (see separate report). The other nrain regular club activity is to compete in the Stewartry Round of the Scottish Conrrnunity Drama Association One Act Play Festival, the club have entered at least one play every year since the ﬁrst production of ‘Tire Masterfu’ Wife’ by Agnes Adam in i974. Although the club have never won the festival outright and represented the Stewartry at the next round, over the years a steady stream of trophies have found their way to the rrrantelpieces of the Glenkens — 2"‘ Place, 3“‘ Place, Best Scottish Play, Best Stage Presentation and The Audience Choice which is perhaps the most satisfying one to win, after all, the other tropirles are awarded purely based on one person’s opinion — the dreaded adjudicator! Last year the members were pleased to take 3"‘ Place and also win the trophy for Best Stage Presentation with a production of ‘Cupboard Love’ by ]ean McConnell. The club are always pleased to welcome new members, whether you would like to tread the boards, direct plays, produce pantonrirnes, play music, make costumes, sell rafﬁe tickets or even make cups of tea! |-I I Left : Winner of the trlcAdonr Trophy, Scott Kirkpatrick Right: Winner of the Hunter Trop y, John McBeth GLENKENS "73 CLUB PANTOMIME The famous Glenkens Panto was restored to the Cirristnras entertairrment calendar, after a three year absence, on l5"‘ and I6“ December with a hilarious version of ‘Little Bo Peep’ by Alan Richardson and Alistair Ferguson. The clrrb had assembled a strong cast and back stage team to ensure that the production was in safe hands and they did not disappoint with both performances being thoroughly enjoyed by appreciative audiences in Dairy Town Hall. Ewan Mclntyre, erstwhile pantomime darrre, was the baddie for a change and an excellent baddie at that, playing the part of Sir Sleekit Scunner. Tire volume of the boos and hisses from the audience were a compliment to the aplorrrb with which he carried out the part, only matched by the laughter dtrring his scenes of outrageous melodrama. Sir Sleeklt’s eventual love interest, Ophelia Peep, was played in a traditional pantomime dame style by Christine Rae who won the audience over and carried them along with her throughout the production. Fairy Bluebell was played by new club member Sandra Robson who added greatly to tire success of the panto with a very assured performance, not least with her very accomplished srngrr ' 'rg which was better than anything ever heard on tre X Factor! Tire crowd were out of their seats at the antics of Simple Sanny, played by Callum Mclrrtyre, during his hilarious (sorrre would say brave) ‘Full Monty’ scene. He showed excellent corrredy timing throughout and melted the audience again during his ‘romantic’ ‘I Got You Babe’ scene when long time admirer Mary Muffet, very cutely and confidently played by Deborah Sidebottorrr, becomes his girlfriend. Tire brrrrgiirrg baddies, Neeplreid Nick and Rarnstanr Rob, recruited by Sir Sleekit to steal Bo Peep’s sheep, were portrayed by Adam Ramsay and William McTurk. Both of these young actors provided plenty of memorable comedy moments during their very assured perforrrrances.

One entry is ‘Cruise Missile’ from the pen of ]ean McConnell who wrote the play ‘Cupboard Love’ with which we carrre third last year and also won the Best Stage Presentation. it is a comedy set on a cruise ship and follows the fortunes of a ‘ﬁrst time‘ cruiser who meets up on the ﬁrst day on board with an experienced cruiser who promises to show her the ropes. The other entry is ‘Wha’s Laird’ by George S. Carnrthers, a traditional Scots Comedy. Once the staple diet of SCDA Festivals, traditional Scots comedies have become a rare sight in recent years but always go down well with audiences. ‘Wlra’s Laird’ is one of the ‘standards’ and tells the story of two twin brothers who are constantly ﬁghting over who is the rightful laird and are continually stealing the family crest from each other, usually just before rent day! Finally, one of the wife‘s engages a lawyer to ﬁnd out who is the laird once and for all. However, as the truth hilariously unfolds it is not nearly as straiglrtforward as everyone expected! At the time of going to press the perfonrrance nights had not been allocated but please look out for the draw in the local press and if you would like to conre along to support us at the festival it would be very much appreciated. Please get your tickets early as the festival is always a sell out. Tire plays will also be staged in Dairy Town Hall after the Festival.

The Principal Boy - Boy Blue and Principal Girl — Bo Peep were played by Becci Wynne and Hannah Sairrsbury respectively, both portrayed their characters very well and added greatly to the panto with their excellent singing voices. Torrrrny Tucker (Kathy Polkinghorne) contributed to the comedy particularly in the sclroolroorrr scene and at other times led the chorus of villagers.

The fee per session will be £3l£2 concession. These sessions will be taught by Elaine Cameron, a local Tai Chi and Pilates instructor. Classes will focus on the health aspect of Tai Chi, not the martial arts aspect. They will be less challenging and will be about repetitive breathing techniques; loosening up; repetitive movements and exercises, and focusing on different aspects of the body and balance, helping you find your ‘centre of gravity’ and assume good posture. The classes will not be concerned with learning a long series of ‘forms’, but rather they will offer little sequences that can be taken home. Neither will the classes be progressive, meaning that if you miss a class it does not matter - you will be able to retum to the group very easily. All of these exercises will be possible in the seated position. Although the moves will be simple, many Tai Chi experts believe that most of the practice's beneﬁts are covered in the basics. ‘Loosening up‘ exercises help with arthritis and also with bad balance, reducing the risk of falls. Practising Tai Chi brings with it a tremendous sense of personal achievement and IT IS FUN! “Fails are the biggest cause of accidental deaths in older people in Britain, but gentle Tai Chi movements can save lives. " “Human beings fail over a lot. Government ﬁgures show that Britons cant get dressed safety: as many as 17, 000 people a year are injured by overbalancing while trying to put on trousers, socks and tights.

Ham .- 2 Several reputable studies have backed the benefits of Tai Chi for preventing elderly falls. in 2005, a six-month study of 256 people, aged 70-92, published by the Oregon Research institute in the lournals ofGerontology Series A: Biological Sciences and Medical Sciences, found that weekly Tai Chi classes more than halved the number of injurious falls experienced by older people who were taught stretching exercises. They also performed much better in balance tests. Tai Chi helps to improve balance, suppleness and tissue strength. it originally descended from Chinese unarmed combat techniques as a secret way of optimising health by combining mind and body through a series of slow meditative movements based on pulls and pushes, kicks, blocks arm-locks and twists. These are designed to promote the ﬂow of energy or ‘chi’, along the body's meridian lines, the same channels used by acupuncturists. Even today, Tai Chi can still be used as a combat style, though its intricately choreographed movements are used mostly to promote well-being. In the West we often tend to hold ourselves in a stressed and tense manner which causes tension and headaches. Most people tend not to remember to breathe correctly and spend much of the day holding their breath. Tai Chi encourages people to breathe and relax their upper bodies - wonderful for a healthy blood pressure. Feeling the energy ﬂowing around the body and opening up the channels through postures gives people the sense that they are doing something really positive for their health. lfyou are interested in Tai Chi, need more lnfomtation, or If you wish to sign up for the free taster session and/or the classes, please contact Liz Cole for more details.

When they were all ﬁnished we displayed them in the corridors and in the classroom. A lot of people commented on how lovely they looked and we wondered if there was a way to keep them forever. Liz (our secretary) photographed them all for our work folders and it was then that we realised that we could put them on the front of cards and maybe sell some. Tire Crackin' Card Company was born! We just did a few cards at ﬁrst but at otrr coffee morning, where we had them on display, we got lots of orders. Having an enterprise is great fun, as we all have different jobs to do and we work really well as a team. We are now trying to get a website, that shows off the cards and that we can link with our own Dairy School‘s site. Joshua Trueman, Director Eat 5 a Day was the message given to Dairy pupils by Mr Brian Taylor lof the Lothian and Borders Co-op at a recent Fruit Tasting in School. Mr Taylor spoke to primary and secondary pupils of the beneﬁts to good health of eating a variety of fruit and vegetables. After his talk, huge selections of unusual, exotic and familiar fruits and vegetables were presented for Q‘ , Po 150"‘-to-., _-\-* ._Jrruthe pupils to taste — favourites ranged from kiwi fruits to coconuts, strawberries to spring onions! The school tuck shop, “The Watering Hole” hopes to expand its choice of fruit in response to the fruit tasting day and all staff and pupils wish to thank Mr Taylor and Lothian and Borders Co-op for a very enjoyable event. 1-1 ...>IlI iii ‘L GLENKENS FIRE CADETS The Fire Cadets have recently ended their third module which was ‘Breathing Apparatus‘. During the module they learned how Fire-ﬁghters safely ﬁght ﬁres and the control measures necessary. They were shown how a Breathing Apparatus set works and were given the opportunity to participate in some ‘on-station’ exercises using both Breathing Apparatus sets [if they wanted to] and using a Guide Litre. Module 4, which will be ‘Urban Search And Rescue’ [USAR] will commence on Wednesday 24”‘ january. During this module the emphasis will be on showing and using equipment and techniques which the Fire Services nationally would use should there be a terrorist attack. DALRY GAZETTE A group of Dairy Secondary School strrdents, consisting of Rosie Hiddleson, Estrid Sander and George Sander - produced a school magazine called The Dairy Gazette, as part of their Wednesday Afternoon Activities.

A ﬁrst for the project was a female kite from the North Scotland project joining our breeding population. Already two of our young kites have been identiﬁed at roosts south of Newcastle; this dispersal of young is common in kite populations. Two of last year‘s young have also been identiﬁed in other areas of the country; one at a roost in Perthshlre and the other at a feeding station in Wales. This gives us Galloway kites at all points of the compass. it will be interesting in the future to see if these young kites retum to their natal area as can be expected. The Galloway Kite Trail continues to be a great draw for visitors and locals alike, all hoping to observe these beautiful birds around our equally bearrtifui countryside. Many thanks to the ever-growing group of landowners, farmers, gamekeepers and public within Dumfries and Galloway for the assistance, access and patience granted to the project.

For more information, call GCAT on 01644 420374 The GYRO-Scope Committee is in full swing, our January meeting was held on Tuesday 9"‘, with a full agenda to discuss. First up was our Come and Try day at Dairy School. it was decided that there should be organisations other than the RSAMD invited. There was also an idea to make up a questionnaire for young people to ﬁll out on the day which would help for reference for future youth projects. The band night was a popular idea, Ben Trueman informed us that eight bands had agreed to play and were very excited about the possibility of getting a gig at this year's Wickermarr Festival however, this was still to be conﬁrmed. Other details like refreshments and volunteers along with the selling of merchandise were also discussed. Those in attendance were unanimous about the possibility of GYRO-Scope using the bus more to be a positive step. There has since been a trip for young people to X-Scape, leisure and indoor ski Centre scheduled for Sunday March 25°". it was suggested that the Youth page of the Gazette could be developed by having a regular column, written by a young person keen on journalism, about local, youth matters. Anyone interested should get in touch with Emma at the GCAT ofﬁce. The GYRO-Scope Secondary Age committee will meet again on the 6“ of Feb and is still looking for more young people to come along and join. Please feel free to come to our next meeting which will be held at 4.30pm, for more details, phone GCAT on 420374. page 9 EXAMINATION At this time of the year there is very little for any of us to get excited about... Before the festive season, the dark nights were made just about bearable with the ciirnax to Christmas, exanrs seemed like a lifetime away and we all had a new start for 2007 to look forward to, right? in reality, after the big guy in red has been and gone, the months of january and February leave very little for any of rrs to get excited about. The only thing the new year brings is more resolutions broken after polishing off that last box of Qrrality Streets, more temptation to make the overdraft on your bank statement even more over-drawn with the temptation of SALE splattered everywhere and for most of the young people in this country, more pressure from exams as the dates looming on your new 2007 calendar are suddenly not so far away. As someone who has been through higher examinations last year and achieved 2A‘s and 3B‘s, yes I do mean to sound pretentious and big headed! My feelings at this time last year were very different to my all round well being now. I seem to remember counting precise days, hours even, for evaluating how much study time I had left for each subject if I stuck to my target of 3 hours per night. My plan was to start at 6.30pm, BEFORE Hollyoakes, (i know, doomed from the beginning!) By March, I was panicking. Not only had I not managed to sustain my somewhat lrnpossible regime but quite frankly, I had hardly opened a book. All I could do was pray for a miracle. The next rnornlng I woke up from the three hours sleep I had managed to obtain and the despair which had plagued my veins last night seemed ten times worse through lack of sleep. What was I going to do? I was a grade I standard grade pupil! I could not be seen to fail a higher prelim let alone the real deal! As I was preparing to make my fever sky high and my throat, “groggy” in a last ditch attempt to pull a good old fashioned “sicky” I opened my blinds to reveal the most wondrous, natural, exam prevention known to man. its white, it's wet and it stops buses from running.....SNOW! So I spent the day buried under piles and piles of reference sheets about the labour refonns of the l920's, textbooks about protein syntiresls and essays on how Graham Green's “The Power and the Glory“ manages to depict an unconventional hero (I can't think why l was so dreading study) while everyone else enjoyed the extra break by building Frosty the Snowman. “Exams aren't the be all and end ail.” “Some of the most successful people I know don't have a quai ﬁcatlon to their name.“ “Things will just get worse if you get stressed.“ I seem to recall hearing these phrases a lot from friends and family and l‘m sure you will agree they are all very helpful when you‘d rather break your own arm than sit down at that tiny, wee individual desk, lost in a sea of faces feeling just the same way as you, with the only thing you can concentrate on in the intolerable silence is the horrendous, quickening pace of your own heartbeat combining with the resounding "TlCK“ of that oh so important clock, never mind the year‘s worth of infonnatlon and techniques you have tucked away in your brain somewhere despite at that moment not even being able to remember what your own name is to ﬁll out the front page. No advice I spout to you will make a difference to having to study when you‘d rather be watching Hollyoakes, nor will it magically gain you entry to university or allow you to go on to the next stage of your education, no matter what it rrrlght be, it will be sure to involve more exams! The best attitude to take is to do the work, do the exam and hope for the best. Don’t fret over the fact that this paper was different to all the mock papers you've done or that it included more of a topic that you hadn’t studied. Who cares? When they are over, they are over, you will get the results you deserve. in my experience by the time the results come around months later, you have things much more in perspective and are prepared for “the worst“ anyway. After ail, “exams aren't the be all and end alli“ DRAMA 8 MUSIC - COME AND TRY On Saturday 10"‘ of February, the RSAMD will return to the Glenkens to provide a "Come and Trg" dag for traditional music and drama at Dairy Secondary choo from 1pm until 5pm.

Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB) is a very rare genetic condition in which the skin and body linings blister at the slightest knock or rub, causing painful, open wounds. At its mildest, the condition is confined to the hands and feet making holding things and walking extremely painful. In more severe forms all the body is affected and the wounds heal very slowly, giving rise to scarring, physical deformity and significant disability. People with the more severe types of EB also have an exceptionally high risk of developing skin cancers, shortening their lives by approximately 30-40 years. In its most severe form, the condition is fatal in infancy. For many sufferers the blistering is not limited to the outer body surfaces, but also affects the inner body linings, such as the mouth and oesophagus. The eating of solids is, in these cases, almost impossible, and the disposal of the body waste incredibly painful. Malnutrition is often a consequence when this occurs. Whilst considerable progress has been made in recent years in understanding EB and identifying the genes that cause the condition, there is as yet no effective treatment or cure. About DebRA Established in 1978, DebRA is the only medical research and patient support charity in the UK working on behalf of people living with EB. DebRA Scotland was started in March 1994. I Leading the world in identifying and funding specific research projects likely to lead to a cure and successful treatment for the condition I Providing specialist services not available through the NHS, to ease the pain and suffering of all children and adults affected by the condition. , gqir Z-fr‘ -I -'--t‘ " I ' 1-H- - -t‘ _ it aw I 0 ‘er ‘N I 1‘; ..r_._i 0 Making skilled counselling and expert guidance on current legislation and governmental services available to EB families, to improve their quality of life 0 Raising awareness of the issues surrounding EB to the general public, healthcare professionals, schools and other interested parties. in Scotland there are no NHS funded treatment facilities at national or regional level. People affected by EB therefore not only rely very heavily on DebRA funded research to provide a long term answer to the illness, but are also almost entirely dependant on the range of specialist support services provided by the charity. These include travelling nurses able to visit children and adults in their homes, clinics, physiotherapy and dietetic services, equipment provision and respite holiday accommodation for families under severe pressure. Current activities - Research DebRA has an international reputation in funding high quality research into EB. Most of the major developments in knowledge have been initiated by 0ebRA funded research groups. Expenditure is guided by the international Medical and Scientiﬁc Advisory panel whose members include eminent scientists from Europe and the USA. DebRA UK manages the peer review process for all the EB research worldwide, enabling a strong focus to be maintained.Due to the development of genetic therapies over the last decade great advances in research into the Human Genome have been made. The genes for all main forms of EB are now known and, in the laboratory, the defects can be corrected at cellular level. Genetic therapies will continue to be a key element of DebRA research, but in addition, a major programme of research into cancers in EB (a signiﬁcant cause of early death in some forms oi EB) is also being investigated. Scoﬂand Scotland now boasts the largest health care team in the world per head of population of those affected by EB however, with only one specialist per hundred patients, this is still not enough.

And what a success it was! With over 100 people through the door, it was wonderful to see so many young people having such a great time, bringing the hall to life. I don’t think I have ever seen so many young people at an event held in the Glenkens, and the sound engineer, Billy Milligan, who works with many youth music events in Dumfries, said “you'd he pushed to get this many people to a youth event in Dumfriesl” Now that’s impressive. Three bands featured at the event - The ]an1 Squad, Crazy Paving and Syphon Plane - with band members ranging in age from i4 to I 8. They perfomted like pros, illuminated by the atmospheric red glow of the hall's overhead electric heaters while young fans danced and cheered them on. The standard of the musicians was velyhigh, impressing everyone there I think ~ except of course the die-hard fans who all knew how good they would be! The ludges of the competition, Simon and Liz_Holmes who nm the Knockengorroch Festivals, said that “the standard of thebands was outstanding” and showed a dedication to their music and a keen desire to perform. The event was organised by the Glenkens Community and Arts Trust GYROscope youth committee. Ben Truman, who organised the event, says: “ I've always been very interested in local bands and looking for new, interesting types of music, and when l got involved in the GYRO-scope committee and we were asked to suggest events for young people, I suggested a band night and the idea grew from there.” He goes on to explain how they organised funding for the event, "there are so many grants available out there, especially for young people who are looking for ways to provide entertainment aimed at the younger generation.” But it was hard work too, as Ben explains: “The idea was ﬁrst thrown up in October and developed from there. l have had to conquer many obstacles I have never encountered before, as this is the ﬁrst time l have organised an like this. But with the help of GCAT staff, and a lot of hard work, I think that the juice was very much worth the squeeze!” With this ﬁrst achievement under its belt, the GYRO-scope committee will hopefully make youth events in the area a regular occurrence. Ben says: “based on the success of this band night, there is no reason not to make this a regular event. I am also looking into other events showcasing young local talent in the future so keep your eyes open!" WHIZZ-BANG VVIZARDS i Local boys ]oe Patterson and Edmund Wise ,0 became TV celebrities recently when they E featured on prime time TV on the BBC! [U programme Whlzz Whlzz Bang Bang. ]oe 2 and Edmund, aged ll, featured in the final episode of the three week series on Friday * 23 March. The premise of the show, says ‘I Series Producer Brendan McCaul, is to § “inspire invention in a creative way — the 0 ideas are whimsical, not practical solutions for j everyday life. We aim to inspire a creative Q mind in young people H the show aims 9 to entertain ﬁrst and foremost, but also to educate and inspire.” ]oe and Edmund were chosen when they attended a workshop for inventive children held in Glasgow. The producers of the show found both boys to be creative in their own right, but they "worked well together, with good dynamics between them - sort of like ‘Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure’ - their individuality and unique ways of thinking combined with inventiveness and personality really caught our attention." The boys’ invention was ‘A Gig in a Box’, which is a virtual air guitar system where they create an audio-visual performance using virtual air guitars that actually play music. For the programme they recreate the theme tune for Whiz: Whizz Bang Bang using virtual air guitars. The invention works with sound beams, and visuals are also created. “We take them on a iourney where they learn how the sound beam machines work, to a dubbing suite where we take the music apart for them, and at the end of- the adventure they have created their invention” says Brendan.

"The reason I decided to play the harp" says Martin, "is that I realized my memory wasn't as good as it was when l was younger, and l felt that it was time to slow the descent into rapid senility. So l decided to leam a musical instrument, and the harp appealed." The harp is a fairly unusual instrument to choose, and Martyn gives me a better understanding of the capabilities of the harp when he states; “a piano is just a harp on its side -— the piano-forte (soft-loud) was created to allow what became the harpsichord (literally a harp on its side) to have more tonal quality." Apparently the harp was invented around Scotland or Ireland as late back as Pictish times, and so Scottish culture must actually have been fairly civilized before the Romans ploughed their way through the country. “After having had the harp sitting around for years, l was on the verge of giving up when l spoke to a harp manufacturer who suggested l take lessons from Wendy Stewart. Wendy is a world renowned harpist, in my opinion in the top six in the world, and luckily for me she lives locally!” Martyn plays regularly at the Knockengorroch festivals where you will ﬁnd him again this year, usually performing in the atmospheric Long House. He also featured at the Wickerman last year, and has played at The Arches in Glasgow and The Fairﬁeld Halls in Croyden.

Ten organic and home produce traders from the region exhibited a wide range of produce - veal, pork, lamb and other meats, smoked cheese, organically produced eggs, honey, chutney and jams, bread and other tasty produce. - So popular was the event and the produce on display, that two producers sold out within an hour of the market opening, and others were making frantic phone calls to re-order and re-stock their stands. In fact the market closed two hours early as most traders had so little stock left. Also on sale were home-made scones, cakes and other home bakes, l as well as tasty homemade soup. KNOCKENGORROCH |_ The Farmers Market was the second in a regular series of monthly markets. Last month a very successful Craft Fair took place featuring local crafts, gifts, photographs and other speciality goods made by local craftspeople from the Glenkens and around Galloway. The Markets are part of a series of regular monthly markets, held every second Saturday of the month, to help raise funds for the Town Hall Refurbishment Fund. in total, over £350 was raised at this months Farmers Market, and last month's Craft Fair raised over £250. ..l ll Y Jr ____k___‘_ \,"' - PRIVATE ART GALLERY 5'?

Our very own Glenkens music festivals, the Knockengorroch Festivals, have lust been announced as one of Dumfries and Galloway's ‘Beacon’ Festivals by the Council's Festivals and Major Events Strategy team. The vision of the Festivals and Major Events Strategy is to assist between six and eight events in Dumfries and Galloway to develop to a standard of international quality by the end of 2008. New ‘Beacon’ status will enable Knockengorroch Festivals to continue to grow in size and distinction over the coming years and help to establish Dumfries and Galloway as the region to visit for world class music festivals. The next Knockengorroch Festival is the ‘World Ceilidh‘ which runs from the i8"‘ to the 20”“ May.

G Bell contacted the relevant department and spoke to Mr Charles Clemie who is the Principle Road Services officer for the Stewartry. He was unaware of their arrival particularly in view of his recent report advising members that this site was inappropriate due to road safety issues. He confimted the bins would be uplifted immediately. it would appear that a misunderstanding took place between one of his officers and Ms ] Hay. After a lengthy and, at times, a heated discussion it was agreed that Cllr. Prentice will arrange for Mr C Clemie to visit Dairy next week and meet with Ms ] Hay, Mrs M ]ones and two members of the community to view possible alternative sites and his report should be available for the next Community Council meeting. it was agreed by members that no ﬁnal decision should be made without the CC‘s approval. Ms Hay proposed the following 5 alternative sites: The lay-by on the B7000, behiind the Library, car park at Kirkland St, by the storage shed at the Town Hall and the land at the back of the Town Hall. N.B. Charles Clemie and Cllr. George Prentice will be in Dairy on Thursday March I 5°“ at 2pm to meet with Mr McKay and Mr Fenner. Ms Hay and Mrs ]ones have also been invited. Moira Jones "i . rt Talk by Damien Wilson, Operations Manager for Countryside and Environment, Regeneration and Europe for D8.G Council, to Glenkens Business Association. Damien began his talk by describing what he and his staff did, supporting regeneration projects in the region, for example in major projects, helping to replace jobs lost at Chapeicross following decommission, improving the environment and vibrancy of Dumfries to make it the regional capital, regenerate the waterfront at Stranraer and others. He also mentioned his role in community area regeneration, encouraging local people to take control and supporting local communities to bring forward new employment and projects that will show an economic return; e.g. GCAT, the Dalheattie Initiative, Upper Nithsdale Forum, Kirkcudbright 2000 etc. There is an idea that Dumfries and Galloway could become the Events and Festivals area of Scotland and each year the council promote and support particular festivals. Scotland is the Number i mountain bike capital of the world, and the south is a very important part of that, providing a number of excellent trails, like the 7 Stanes. Provision of locations for ﬁlm and TV programmes, supporting theme towns, matching council aspirations with redevelopment plans and co-ordination signiﬁcant building enquiries are all part of their remit.

All the members who attended agreed that it was an excellent talk and it was a shame that a number of members were unable to attend. The two club entries for this year's Stewartry Drama Festival were greatly appreciated by the capacity audiences at Lochside Theatre. ‘Cruise Missile’ by ]ean McConnell was staged on the opening night of the festival and featured Kathy Poikinghorne and Christine Rae as holidaymakers on a cruise ship. The play was directed by Ewan Mclntyre and is a gentle comedy highlighting the clash of personalities between the rather loud and brash experienced cruiser and the quieter ﬁrst time cruiser who just wants to be left alone. The adjudicator praised the characterisation and the set which captured the feeling of being at sea. A good choice of music and sound effects also helped to set the atmosphere. He felt that there could have been a little more variation of movement and pace within the piece but OtliEl'WlSE thoroughly enjoyed the play which brought the ﬁrst evening to a close. The other entry ‘Wha‘s Laird‘ by George S. Carruthers was the ﬁnal production of the festival on the Saturday evening. Described by the author as a 'rumbustious romp in Scots’ it was destined to close the festival in style. The play demands a rather complex set with no less than ﬁve different entrances and the club members pulled out all the stops to create a full box set with suitable period fumiture and stage dressings sourced from far and wide. Tire adjudicator described the set as magniﬁcent with great attention to detail, complemented by excellent costuming and make up. He awarded the trophy for the Best Stage Presentation to the production, the second year in a row that the club has won this trophy. The play was directed by Marie Davie and tells the hilarious story of twin brothers who are ﬁghting over the right to be the laird and featured a large cast — Brian Edgar, Rosie Kneeshaw, Ewan Mcintyre, Marie Davie, Callum Mclntyre, Emma Thomson, Aaron Edgar and Sheila Little. The audience laughed virtually from the opening line as the comedy raged and the plot thickened. Although the pace rornped along for most of the play, the adjudicator felt that it ﬂagged a bit at times towards the end and this reduced the impact of some of the comedy scenes. However, he praised the acting in general and highlighted some excellent characterisation, teamwork and comedy timing amongst the cast. The play also won the trophy for the Best Scottish Play. The club are intending to present the plays in Dairy Town Hall when a suitable date can be agreed, probably during April. The Open Festival was won by Lochside Theatre's production of ‘King of the Castle‘ by Mark Rees which will represent the Stewartry District at the Western Divisional Final in East Kilbride at the end of March. -u-.-—~y,,-_-- >l _,-, The next presentation is on April 24th - a talk by Andrew Bielinski of SNH on Galloway 8. S Ayrshire Biosphere Reserve. He will give a bit of background to what a Biosphere Reserve is and then look more closely at the Galloway and Southern Ayrshire Biosphere Reserve proposals. Everyone is welcome to attend all our presentations.

The fact that so many people had such interesting questions shows how important this issues are to many people, and that we need to know what we should be doing to keep up with current initiatives. The simplest point which was raised was simple energy efﬁciency — turning the TV off standby, getting insulation ﬁtted, and using low energy light bulbs. But, as ieremy highlighted, getting people to change their habits is never easy. Soon, though, we will start to be penalised for not taking steps to conserve energy, so it's worth changing our habits now! was __, i-1 iv’ Glenkens Business Association WWW.glEl1l(Eﬂ5-lJUSll1ESS-t‘.lSSOCllZill0l't.Ol’g.Ul(\ secreiury@glenkens-businest-trasoc.i.s!i_i,o.n_.org..u.ls_ THE PLACE TO BE SEEN The 200?’ Directory will be published in April in order ihoi ii will be ovoiloble lo the community before the slcrri of the new tourist season.

Robin Ade, local expert in this ﬁeld, is working on a project to stabilise burns in the Carsphairn area which have been damaged by 1970s forestry. The burn at Smlttons which was visited is the ﬁrst to be worked with, and the idea is to show the school children what the burn looks like before any improvements have been made, and to explain the issues effecting the water course. Then the pupils will visit again once the Sitka Spruce trees which border the burn have been thinned out, pools have been created to slow the ﬂow of the water during ﬂood times, and some native trees have been planted along the banks to allow nrore life to develop in and around the water. It is hoped that this is the ﬁrst of many burns which will receive such help with the support of local forest managers and the Galloway Fisheries Trust. l . 1 Glenkens Gazette SPONSORED BIKE RIDE IN MALAWI Glenkens mrnrster Davrd Bartholomew has registered to take part in a Bike Ride in Malawi from i2-2i May, organised by the Edinburgh Medical Missionary Society. The ride will cover more than 280 miles in six days, starting in the capital, Lilongwe, and ending at Mulanje Mission Hospital in southern Malawi. Funds raised from the event will help improve services at Mulanje Mission Hospital and support other health e projects in southern Malawi. The hospital was founded In the i870s by the Church of Scotland and ls now under the auspices of the Church of Central Africa, Presbyterian. The largest orphan centre of Abbas Rest Orphans, the Glenkens based charity which local congregations seek to support, is located not far from the hospital; and he has come to an agreement that half of the sponsorship money that he raises will go to Abbas Rest Orphans and half to the hospital and related health projects. After the bike ride he plans to visit at least some of the orphan centres. He has committed himself to raise at least £2300 in sponsorship. T}- page 5 £1000 FOR COMIC RELIEF ’ On Thursday i5 February, local girl Connie McCallie shaved her hair to a grade one to raise money for charity. Supported by friends and family Connie, aged i3, had decided some months ago that she wanted to do this in order to raise money for the needy. The event was held at Simply Delicious in Castle Douglas and Connie, along with two other friends, raised over £i00O for Comic Relief. T Well done Connie! i NEW GALLOVVAY SVVRI PANCAKE LUNCH Balmaclellan at Kells Guild held their l0th annual Pancake Lunch on Tuesday 20th February in New Galloway Town Hall. Since its inception in I998 the event has raised almost £2,500 for different charities, most of which have had a local connection. This year was no exception as £400 was raised for the chosen charity, “Maximum Attack" - Gordon Clendinning’s Fundraising Appeal for The Paul O'Gorman Leukaemia Research Centre, Glasgow. Around a hundred people came to enjoy the pancakes, each having a savoury and a sweet ﬁlling followed by tea or coffee. Background piano music provided by jim McPhee added to the pleasant atmosphere. A stall with some lovely home baking and a raffle helped to boost Guild funds. Balmaclellan at Kells is a small Guild with only I4 members but they were helped by many friends who came along to serve pancakes, fetch and carry, and wash dishes! i_J in i92i a new organisation for women, the SWRI was holding its ﬁrst meetings in New Galloway. The ﬁrst group in the Glenkens area was fomred here, and has now celebrated its 85th birthday. When it began, there were few opportunities for women to socialise outside the home, and large numbers were attracted from a wide area to become members. Soon several groups were meeting in the Glenkens. The aims of the SWRI were to promote rural life, educational opportunities and to socialise and these are still the same today. We do this through interesting talks, outings and sometimes just a good meal and a chat! We are a charity, but we like to support other worthy causes which we can do provided that we hold a special event and advertise it as such. For several years New Galloway have held a Soup and Sweet Lunch in the late autumn for a nominated charity. in 2006 this was In aid of the "Maximum Attack” appeal which Gordon Clendinning is running. We were pleased to present him with a cheque for £173 at our February meeting, as you can see from the photograph. Afterwards we tucked into a Burns Supper provided by our members! This year we look forward to a varied programme including "planting for wildlife" and "global wamring”, and we welcome new members to our small and friendly group. Visitors can join us as guests for a meeting or two, so as the saying goes "you can try before you buy”. Please contact 01644 420664 for more infomration. Jenny Repay, CROCUS WALK FOR BREAKTHROUGH BREAST CANCER The day of our crocus walk in aid of Breakthrough Breast Cancer, turned out to be cold, with the odd hail shower, not a day to walk the 4 miles over Waterside hill as planned! My daughter Kirsteen whose idea it was to do the walk (her last idea involved her father and i climbing to the top of Ben Nevis with her, also for charity!) Myself, my niece Zoe Hempieman and my sister Sheila Ferdous decided to brave the elements as the two girls were keen to do the walk on Mothers Day as planned. We did however change the route due to the weather conditiions, we walked from St ]ohns Way up past Balmaclellan and back to Dairy along the Grennan, at least the original 4 miles! The weather was kind to us for the most part and with our pink bunny ears and purple balloons we attracted a few tools from passing cars! We all agreed it was a fun and rewarding way to spend our Mothers Day. The other walkers Angela and Alix, and Mandy and Nathan plan to do the waterside route this Sunday, Shirley and Tina McNaught will also be doing the walk, Shirley was ill on Sunday so unable to join us and the weather was a bit cold for our younger walkers Alix and Nathan. To date we have raised £2 50 with still more sponsors to come. When we have a ﬁnal total l will put up a notice to let everyone know. Many many thanks to all walkers and to everyone who sponsored us.

Glenkens Gazette page 6 NEW GALLOWAY - TI-IE Ourr .9—['1Zs1:0'ric Buxrgﬁ. by Helen Bcrltcm - PART XX)-(IV - CR0ss Keys HOTEL Tradesmen of Old Reading through the I841 Census Records of New Galloway Burgh one cannot help noticing the amazing number of tradespeople who were resident in the village, and also how well-served was the community with shops and other amenities. The wee Burgh must have been almost totally self-sulﬁcient, especially as all the cottages seemed to have extremely productive gardens where most people kept hens, and either a pig or a cow. The school was well established under the guidance of Schoolmaster Mr ]ohn Muir and two other teachers. The Post Office was also in the capable hands of Mr iohn Muir, a man of many parts! The village boasted a surgeon, Dr Hugh Douglas, who had been in partnership with his father, Dr Archibald Douglas until the latter’s retirement in I840. Their residence was at No i7 High Street. The Smithy, run by two brothers, William and Matthew Turner, was a very important establishment in the village, as not only did the blacksmith keep all the many horses in the area well shod, he also made and repaired all types of farm implements. He nrade gates, hinges, latches, household items of many kinds, and he could repair iron cooking pots and make the special chains for hanging pots over the ﬁre on the "swee”. The mill, next to the Smithy, was run by Samuel Martin, and was another vital part of village life. All the wheat and barley meal used locally would be ground at the village mill. Water to drive the mill-wheel was gathered in the dam, now long weeded over and almost invisible, just outside New Galloway on the north side of the Newton Stewart road. The Mill Bum is still a busy, hurrying little waterway following the line of the road towards the village. Boot and shoe making must have been a very lucrative trade, as New Galloway supported no less than seven of these useful tradesmen, with two apprentices, and four joumeyman shoemakers also lived in the village, and they would ply their trade around the outlying farms and houses. joiners were plentiful, with three plus ﬁve apprentices in the village, and ﬁve joumeyman ioiners working in the local area. There was Mr McCandlish the well known builder, ﬁve stonemasons, one joumeyman mason, an apprentice, and Mr Hutcheson the plasterer to keep BAR & RESTAURANT ‘E 01644 420494 Come in a§nlcl¢fe eil the alnge. . .. r restaurant r-L-H:-1|: ta — S.usan Htare or Chis=nlai¢l. all the buildings in the Burgh in a good state of repair. Other trades represented in New Galloway were the saddler, the stocking maker, the straw hat maker, ﬁve dressmakers, six tailors and an apprentice, ﬁve hanclloom weavers including one who was a linen weaver, a sawyer, and two coopersl The shopkeepers were interesting, as apart from two bakers and two butchers there was William Cantllish who was a spirit dealer and ironmonger, john McKay who combined his grocery trade with a drapery business, while james Smith was a grocer and nail maker. One hopes the nails were kept well away from the food - nrodern day Health and Safety Officials would not be amused! A merchant and four tea dealers appear to complete the shopkeepers and suppliers of the village. Three inns catered for the needs of thirsty locals and travellers, and provided accommodation. Thomas Mcltelvie ran the “Cross Keys" William Tumer had the “Town's Anus", and Isabella Wilson was mine hostess at the “Kenmure Arms” following her husband’s death, and her son, ]ohn drove the chaise for conveying their visitors. There was William McKelllp, the busy man who kept the roads tidy and in reasonable repair, and last but by no means least, we must not forget the village Constable, Henry Clinton, whose job it was to keep the villagers of New Galloway in order. This was probably fairly easy, but disturbances may well have occurred when vlsitirrg drovers shepherds got a few drams inside them after successful sales of sheep or cattle. What a busy wee place “Our Historic Burgh” appears to have been in those faroff days, with work for everyone, and no paupers, so the census tells us. There was no need for folk to commute, as so many are forced to do today. Maybe there was a lot to be said for the “Good Old Days”, I certainly think there was! CARSPHAIRN - THE SPORTING LIFE This exhibition at the Heritage Centre covers the period from the l850s until recently. Lots of newspaper extracts, incidents and sporting memories have come to light as well as many of the cups and medals so keenly played for. Many of the inter village matches were reported in detail in the local papers so we have a wealth of names of those who took part in the various sports from our local clubs. Curling matches took place with Dalmellington, Dairy and New Galloway, cricket with Dalmellington, Glencairn and Kirroughtrie and carpet bowling with the local clubs at New Galloway, Dairy, Balmaclellan, Polharrow, Stroanfreggan and Holnr of Dalquhairn. We've leamt over the years that our exhibitions change and grow throughout the season as nrernories and objects are added. We are always pleased when this happens as it means that the exhibition is enriched by the interest of those who come and see or hear about it. The exhibition will be open weekends and bank holidays only until the end of May and then daily except Wednesdays until the end of September. ll‘Il ji ¢_‘, KENBRIDG New Gall l MEALS S 12.00 - 2.00pm, bed and b on suite aooo ‘E’ 01 644 4 mail@kenb' wwwakenbri r‘ ‘ --.7. -T;'7 -.-i.' _r.

Whit daes a buddy dae? Ye cannae sell them tickets an‘ then turn aroon an‘ tell the fowk there's nae where tae plank their dowps. It's easy in the bus situation - ye can alloo the extras tae stan alang the passagewey, whaur they can hing ontae straps hingin’ frae abune. But ye couldnae really git away wi daen sic a thing in Parton Ha’ - there's naethin tae hing outae, an’ ony wey ye couidnae hing on if ye were haudin-on toae yer plate o’ broth, ye micht even git a plate o’ "wann, reekin, rich" haggis doon yer blouse bi the waiters tiyin tae squeeze past. Sweat wis dreepin doon ma face an’ the pint o’ ma neb. What could be din, apairt fra hopin or prayin that some cars wid brek doon or some o’ the fowk wid tak no weel? But there's a sayin, that the Deil is guid tae his ain, an‘ we were let aff the hook. Twa or three had tae gaun tae their bed, yin wis held up doon sooth wi trouble on the motorwey, an anither had lost the pump 0‘ his pushbike. We still had oor ﬁngers crossed when a’ the fowk were comin in, gettin a free drink an’ sittin doon, an thank God there wisnae onybuddy left stannin withoot a place in front o’ them. The Heid Bummer, Maister Alistair Nelson an’ the rest 0' the notorious (sorry) celebrities had their photos took, hoping the camera wid dae its stuff this time - ﬁngers crossed again. The Held Yin then introduced the rest o’ the tap table o’ speakers an’ entertainers - Maister Gordon ]ohnstone frae Dumfries; Dominie Fraser Simpson frae St ]ohn's Toon; Mistress Alison Barrett, Hach o’ Urr (sometime o’ Parton); Piper George Galloway frae the Michal (no the big tae kisser frae Big Brither); twae young yins frae the Glenkens, Wullie McTurk an’ Henry Sainsbury; Maister lvanovitch Roschottka an’ his wife Anne Lindsay, a Scottish lass, wha divide their time atwean Canada and Kirkcudbright. lvan, by birth a Ukrainian, but at heart is Scottish. Efter the Selkirk Grace wis said, the Great Chieftain o‘ the Pudden Race wis ably piped in bi Maister George Galloway, an’ carried weel alaft bi oor Cooncillor George Prentice an’ addressed bi Maister Gordon ]ohnstone in a robust fashion but no cutting onybuddy's heid aff. The Caterers then took ower the next pairt, dishin’ oot the Nicht’s Fare — guid Galloway broth like nither made, haggis an‘ neeps, aitcakes an’ kebbuck -— an’ decent dauds they were tae, nane o’ yer wee skittery tablet sized bits in siller paper; followed bi an assortment o’ minty sweeties, but ah wis ower dreich in wraxin fornit tae git a haud o’ the Efter-echt yins. There wis a wee lull efter that, I suppose tae pey a veesit an’ tot up yer glasses for the toasts. Gin a’ buddies had gotten sat doon Maister Gordon ]ohnstone had the honour o’ deliverin the n1ain toast o’ the nicht, namely ‘The immortal Memo1y' which he did in a guid solid appraisal o’ the Baird's life intersperses wi selections from his poems. Dominie Simpson frae the ‘Clachan' made a great job o’ ‘Toasting the Lassies' but oor Alison did iist as weel wi her reply. The proceedins were mixed wi items bi the entertainers — Willie Mc Turk an’ Henry Sainsbury, twa young scarts wi the hippens hardly aff their hurdies but, wi plenty o’ gumption sang ‘Ye Banks an’ Braes' an ‘The Dells awa wi the Exciseman’. At the ither end o’ the age scale Ivan and Anne sang duets ‘O went thon in the cault blast’ and ‘Ae Fond Kiss’, and were joined later on at mair singin an’ reciting. Mistress Doreen Prentice wis her usual competent seif at the music pairt. The croupiers for the nicht were Maisters Rusby, Maciaren an‘ Yates makin' shair that a’bucIdies kept their glasses chairged.

Why CatStrand? Regular rleladers of thgagéazettei wil:1know thef atrlrster, bult for those nrhohage ntlrjt, t en simply, t tran ist e nameo t e urn w ose course as a to e slightly adjusted in order to avoid running through the middle of the site of our new centre. in spite of this unforeseen difﬁculty, together with the excessive amount ofrain experienced during the autumn and winter months, conversion work is broadly on track for completion in the summer. Meanwhile, and in parallel, much work is underway by the ‘GCAT Team‘ to identify and detennine the ﬁttings, furniture and decoration of the centre. Anyone who has moved into a recently constructed house or office block will be aware of the vast amount of detail that must be reviewed and considered when detemrining style and decoration and in deciding on how best to equip the rooms and spaces. Floor tiles, carpets, colour schemes, notice boards, display areas, public facilities; the list is huge although the task of determining what should and can be provided is both fun and very rewarding when at last it all begins to come together. in addition to the interior decoration, there remains a question of access to the centre, footpaths and hard standing and ﬁnally the outstanding question of how best to landscape the grounds to ensure that they are in sympathy with the aims of the centre and is likely to appeal to a broad span of the intended target population. This work is underway; consultations are taking place between the Board of Directors and local landscape gardeners to create a garden that will be in hamrony with the purpose and aspirations of CatStrand. So nruch then for the construction and landscape work; what else is currently receiving attention? Cleariy, if the CatStrand is to succeed with its aim of developing into an epi-centre of cultural interest and entertainment for the Glenkens Community and importantly, visitors, then CatStrand's programme of activities must have broad appeal. With this in mind therefore the Board of Directors, most ably assisted by the staff, are presently conducting an audience development audit that seeks to target groups with a developing or ongoing interest in ‘The Arts‘ from within and without the area. Speciﬁcally the aim is to target residents of the Glenkens and the business community and of course tourists and visitors to the region, whom we hope will enjoy the cultural experience and spread the good news. Finally it is important to address the question of what is it that we believe will attract people of all ages from within and without the region to visit and importantly, to return to the CatStrand? it will be the programme of events. As you will expect therefore, the management team is very much involved in discussions with the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama (RSAMD), and with a number of youth organisations to determine a schedule of events that will appeal to a broad spectrum of interest groups. For example, there are plans in hand for 8 visual arts exhibitions per year that will support a full programme of drama, music and local exhibitions of historic and cultural interest catering for a broad spectrum of interests —- something for all —- both within the Community and importantly, for our visitors too. in addressing CatStrand's target population it will also be important to consider those residents in the Glenkens who are interested in participating in the programme and to make use of the many other facilities that CatStrand will provide but who may ﬁnd transportation to and from New Galloway difficult. In recognition of this, management is investigating ways of making increased use of the Glenkens community bus facility. interested and want to know more?

Dairy School, Thursday 31 May, 7.30pm - £6 GCAT has ioined forces with the Dumfries and Galloway Arts Festival to bring “The Scottish World" to the Glenkens in May. This event promises to be a hugely entertaining evening of music, poetry, story and song celebrating the Scottish diaspora and its inﬂuence all over the world. For centuries the Scots, many of them from south west Scotland, have been travelling and settling in the lands beyond the seas. This programme is a celebration of the enomrous contribution the Scots have made to the modern world. it is presented by Billy Kay, charismatic and eloquent writer, performer and broadcaster, and one of the great chroniclers of Scottish language and culture.

OEIJU @ORNR TI-IE RIOSSDALE PAINTERS _— .. ii I- ‘I wish I could paint, but I can’t draw a straight line.’ It was this comment, heard a number of times around the Glenkens that set three local painters thinking. The result was the formation of an informal group, based in Mossdale Village Hall, who met once a week, initially, for six weeks, to paint and enjoy the painting. The group contained complete beginners as well as people who had a varying amount of experience. The only limitation was that everyone had to live in the 01644 telephone area, in other words, the Glenkens. Isobel Ellis, Wendy Davis and Beryl Hamilton got together and worked out a suggested set of topics called ‘Chasing Colour’. These involved the absolute minimum of drawing, and had watercolour work as the main medium. However there has always been the option of people ‘doing their own thing’. Eighteen people came for two hours a week and such was the enthusiasm that at the end of the 6 weeks another block of time was organised, and another and another I There have been full day workshops organised with visiting tutors, and such has been the enthusiasm that a display of the groups’ work was put into the fonner office windows of GCAT for all the Glenkens to see. The group were encouraged to have their work framed and some exhibited in the Glenkens Art Exhibition in the summer of 2006. New people have loined the group in 2007 and new and different media have been introduced, so that there is something to suit everyone. The Mossdale Painters are going from strength to strength. Their work is getting more exciting by the week. Challenges abound. DIUGA TENNIS CLUB l The MUGA (Multi Use Games Area) which was built last year at Dairy school is a wonderful space for sports such as tennis, badminton, volleyball, football and more. The school makes good use of the facility during weekdays, but it is also open In the evenings ,_~ and at weekends to members of the public. With this In mind, and as a keen tennis player I himself, Mathew Newton has suggested that an informal Tennis Club be created. He would I like people to get in touch with him if they are interested in playing tennis, and then he can get a list together of interested people who can exchange numbers and arrange to meet for tennis matches when It suits them. This way, there is no rigid schedule to adhere to, and hopefully it will be possible to find at least one other person who fancies a game of tennis when you do. Mathew Newton is our local co-ordinator for this facility, so if you would like to put your name down for the Tennis Club, or if you would like to hook I‘.¥t_.f~ S the MUGA for anything else, please contact Mathew on 01644 430 225. __J -~I page 12 Glenkens Gazette ROMANS AT CARSPHAIRN PRIMARY 61.5/v/<5/vs 56/-/00? REPOR SMAIiSCI-IOOLS’ FOOTBALL NEWS J5 Kells, Crossmlchael and Dairy all competed recently in the Small Schools‘ Football League, with the games being played in the MUGA at Dairy School. The league was organised by Chris Topping, the Active Schools Coordinator. Games were played over 3 weeks and all the teams and their supporters thoroughly enioyed it. it was a very closely fought contest with all teams playing really well, and in the end it came down to a play off between Kells and Dairy, with Dairy scoring the “Golden Goal.“ This result meant that they qualiﬁed for the ﬁnal which was held at Castle Douglas High School on it‘ March. The whole team played fantastically well in their games against Castiedykes, Gatehouse and Sprigholm Primaries. Two narrow defeats were followed by the toumament‘s biggest winning margin when Dairy defeated Springholm 5-2 ﬁnishing a very creditable third. Well done boysll On the afternoon of Monday 26th February a Roman centurion came to Carsphalrn Primary School to tell us about his life in the Roman Anny. His name was lefﬁcus Romeus Flavlus. He told us about different kinds of soldier. A Roman citizen could loin the army as a legionary. A legionary soldier wore the iorica (body artnour) which is made of metal strips held ~ together by leather straps. it was noisy, sharp and heavy to wear. Skye tried on the big one and Amber, Lucy and Daisy tried on a small one. if you were not a Roman citizen you ioined the army as an auxiliary. An auxiliary soldier wore chain mail. It was made of metal rings joined together. it was spiky and cold to wear. Kieron tried on the full size chain mail and lenny, lames 0 and lames B tried on the small one. The soldiers’ shoes had metal studs on them. When they marched, the shoes made a loud noise. They hoped that the noise of the armour clanking and the sound of the shoes on the road would scare the enemy. Underneath their amtour, soldiers wore warm underwear and a woollen tunic. The Roman legionaries had weapons such as javelins, , its swords and daggers. in Latin the sword is a gladius, a laveiin is a pilum and a dagger is a puglo. Each unit carried its own standard. if a small patrol went out, they carried a standard in the shape of a ﬂag, called a vexi'lum. The legion had a standard called the Aquila. The Aquila was in the shape of a golden eagle and only left the camp if the whole legion was going out. An auxiliary soldier has a bow and arrows a stabbing sword and a sword. You might see in a book about Romans that the soldiers hold their swords vertically but they actually held it horizontally so that it went between their enemies’ ribs easily. .._3l;.._.§-l§..:-= S ,,.-I. ,. i . ._ qf "r" l 4* The picture shows some of the Dairy pupils, with their Italian ski instructor, who enjoyed a week of sunshine and snow in Aprica during the February holiday. Dally ioined a long established Dumfries Academy ski trip for the ﬁrst time this year, and what a great experience it tumed out to be. All those in the group, which also included pupils and staff from Castle Douglas and Dalbeattie, had a super time ending the week as very accomplished skiers and snowboarders. Our thanks go to Messrs Findlater and Sloan from Dumfries Academy (both former Dairy teachers) who organised the trip down to the smallest detail and to all staff and pupils from the 4 schools who helped make a friendly, fun and exhausting nine days. Roll on Aprica 2008! gzefﬁcus also told us about how they got washed. oman soldiers went to a bathhouse to clean -5 ~. themselves. There were several rooms in a bathhouse. They started in a hot room to make them sweat. The sweat was scraped off with a strigil and the dirt came off with it. Then they went into a warm pool to rinse the sweat and dirt away. Last they went into the cold pool to refresh themselves. When soldiers went to get a bath they sometimes had to take a guard to watch their clothes because they might get stolen. When Romans went to the toilet there were several toilets in the same room. Seats were cut out of a long plank of wood above a trough full of running water. There was no toilet paper — they used a sponge on a stick to wash their bottoms and then they washed the sponge in another trough of water. The sponge was put in vinegar to kill the bacteria so that the next person could use it. We're glad that we have toilet paper and privacy!

Chris and Sarah have been working as Digital Artists in Residence with GOAT since November. They have spent the past few months exploring life in the Glenkens as part 3""? of their research for a new artwork. They have been meeting lots of people, filming interviews, collecting stories and taking photographs. The result is a fascinating portrait of the Glenl-tens, presented as a video website. And they haven't ﬁnished yet. They are now planning to create a new video artwork for CGAT exploring . -51 I James Clerk Maxweil’s Demon. Maxweil’s Demon is an imaginary creature at the centre of his I867 thought T‘ ‘ '-‘P’ 1 ' W ' ~ s“ I -7' l experiment, created to explore the possibility of contradicting the second law of thermodynamics. “Maxwell's Demon IS an ICOI1 for our UITIES, sitting at the 7 a n 0 crossroads of information and the physical universe". Thought experiments are often used in physics, philosophy and history to explore ideas a priori, using techniques such as ‘reduction to the absurd’. "Maxweil’s Demon and the structure of the thought experiment provides us with a conceptual framework from which to explore some of the complex subjects revealed through our research and as a basis for the construction of the video work/s. For example; the relationships between people and place, allegory within storytelling or deﬁning territory through dialogue.” The artists are looking for people to get involved in all aspects of the making of this new video work, if ' " ”“" ~_ you're interested in thought experiments, building sets, making costumes, operating a video camera or performing please get in touch with the artists on tel. 01557 840262, by email. info@glenkens.net or pop into the GCAT office. FERGUSSON EXCITED BY CHALLENGE OF NEW POST IN THIS ISSUE... Commenting after his election as Presiding Officer of the Scottish‘ , Parliament, Galloway at Upper Nithsdale MSP Alex Fergusson said.. kg. . i _\. "There can be few greater honours than to be elected by your fellow , l MSPs to preside over their affairs in Parliament. Furthermore, the duties i -1% cc as the civic face of the Parliament will encompass the great degree of ‘ ' resilonslbillty as well as some wonderful experiences. There can be no doubt that there will be enormous challenges ahead given the political . make up of the Parliament, but the fact that we are about to embark on . . a period of mlnonty govemment offers the exciting prospect of issue by issue decision making and consensus politics. l believe this is what the Scottish electorate has been looking for in its Parliament and l am thrilled at the task before me in helping to bring that consensus about”. “At the same time l am very mindful of my responsibilities to all of my constituents as the Member of the Scottish Parliament for Galloway at Upper Nithsdale. l hope this appointment reﬂects positively on the constituency and l have no doubt that l will be able to promote the unique assets within Galloway at Upper Nithsdale in ways that were previously undreamed of. l have been overwhelmed by the number of supportive messages I have had from constituents, and I look forward wholeheartedly to the challenges that lie ahead”. 2-i-D.‘-'1.'=.a| A"-55*‘-1 J-5"" G°""a¥ 3. menkam Gorrlrrl.u.n'tyNut?‘ e Retires Buéinesslhsgmlauun R_egimi.aiGonr1c'I.llers"i ' " 4, l*,l.,ﬂ_1.ll'l'_'_I¥.i.-,3,-, i-\_"!.|..'¢l,||_.ﬁ* $P"l‘1"l‘i"°“"Fl"‘°"" . - _ _ p . gggiﬁlfleeiﬁﬂe Blltﬂh T - l-;~ * ~ T -- g 6- MAT News-s The Hmoor r i - . -. ,Signr Irina .81 Buss llotliels Glenkens Gazette page 2 LOCAL ARTISTS : Jim Gourlay - Sculptor I _ 1 or ~-teas; ‘I sate?’ Driving along the Thioughgate in Dally you may well have noticed ]in1 Gourlay's unusual slate sculptures which decorate his garden. ]im, a former builder, took up his unique form of sculpting only ﬁve or so years ago after he ietired. With a working knowledge of slate and stone through his profession, he decided to put his practical skills to a more creative use. The sculptures range from giant urns made from thick slate, which ]im calls stone rather than slate, to an obelisk of very ﬁne slate and beautiful water features of alternating red Welsh slate and grey Lancashire slate. There are even purpose built cavities in some sculptures to act as nesting spaces for birds. Some of the water features have a marble ball winch balances in a concave top stone and spins gently under the pressure of water paped up from the pond below, creating a beautiful fountain illustrating the strength of water - it only takes a little water pressure to keep the relatively heavy marble ball ﬂoating. ]im feels he has probably made as many sculptures as their garden can hold, and is ﬁnding it more difﬁcult _ to make them due to health reasons, so we’li have to wait and see what his next creative avenue will be. -* '._=_i">" .. -gs -V3; ‘T gt - PRIVATE ART GALLERY a_o‘ ass +-'l r='-‘ Grierson Glover iggiiﬁlﬁﬁiiﬁﬁftlaig r ﬂit __l_E_ Gm no I95 g For a free, fri!entIl__§f 0 ‘I 644 "4 quote 07843 625593 _ DALBEATTIE SURGERY HOURS Tues & Thurs 6-6.30 pm 1 E roe APPOINTMENTS AT BOTH SURGERIES OR IN cast or AN IEMERGENCY A #5‘ 91555 502263 ta!

The lunch was attended by staff past and present and Elizabeth was presented with a crystal decanter aird set of glasses, engraved with a Rennie Mackintosh ﬂoral design, and a rnairogany tray with an engraved brass plaque. Eiizabetlr said the gift was “]ust what I've always wanted!“ and described herself as being “Gobsnrackedi“. Donations from patients were also presented. Elizabeth gave a lovely acceptance speech and said that she had enjoyed working as part of a great tearrr and felt that she had been privileged to have grown up with, and to have worked amongst, the people of the Glenkens. A couple of weeks earlier, to celebrate Elizabeth's ast day at work, the conrrniinity nurses organised a coach trip to Ayr for a teir-pin bowling night and dinner at the Hoilybush. Elizabeth, her family, nursing colleagues aird members of the practice staff all had a thoroiighiy enjoyable evening, aided, as l understand matters, by an abundance of liquid refreshement. Elizabeth was presented with ﬂowers and cards at the Hollybuslr restaurant. Elizabeth was very well liked by both patients and staff. She was an exceptionally capable, dependable and caring nurse. Elizabeth won the gold rnedai at the time of achieving her nursing qualiﬁcation and it has been a pleasure to have worked with someone of such high calibre as well as such humility. Elizabeth will be very much missed from our Practice team.

Members of the GBA held their Annual General Meeting on 24 April at the Ken Bridge Hotel to complete the election of members to the committee, which now comprises: Chair : Bob Williams, Vice Chair: Andrew Case, Secretary: Alan Rumble, Treasurer: Annette Williams, Members: Ros Hill, Dave Patterson, Chris Macneill, Ronnie Bradford, Nick Roper-Caldbeck Maggi and Mike Kaye, the retiring Chair and Secretary have provided a stalwart service to the Association. They are able to take credit for the production of the hugely successful Gienkeirs Business Directory, which has been widely circulated tirroughoiit the region. Further, Mike and Maggi have been largely responsible for the introduction of a series of keynote monthly presentations duriirg the winter months, eircoinpassing a wide range of topics of direct interest to the business community. In parallel, Maggi has developed a network of contacts within local government and regional organisations through which the GBA might exercise some inﬂuence on matters that effect tourism and the establislrirrent of the Glenkens as the heartland of Dumfries and Galloway. Siinultarreousiy, Mike will be remembered for his tireless efforts in encouraging members to participate in the activities arranged by the management committee and of course for the huge amount of work that he has put into the establishment of a GBA website. it is clear that without them the GBA would have had difﬁcuity in maintaining the momentum that it presently enjoys and for this alone the menrberslrip owes them a huge vote of thanks. So where do we go from here? Given that the underlying purpose of the GBA is to seek to ideirtify, create and develop opportunities and initiatives that will assist local business and enterprises to thrive and prosper, the Coinrriittee‘s priority is to do whatever it can within the limited resources that are available, to promote the ‘Gienkens‘ as the jewel in the crown Southwest Scotiaird. As the incoming Chairman l feel conﬁdent that a priority for the GBA is to focus upon initiatives that wil help promote the Gienkens as the heartland of Duirrfries and Galloway. The management committee is therefore seeking to introduce promotional activities with broad appeal, which will be speciﬁcally focussed upon the Gienkens. The committee‘s ﬁrst initiative is to produce a ﬂyer that is both prominent and succinct. When published, it will be widely circulated to distribution points most likely to be seen by our target audience. Tlrning is important; May is upon us marking the beginning of the maiir tourist season. With this as a backdrop the GBA has set to work and produced a ‘Visit The Glenkens‘ brochure that we hope will be both eye-catclring, Glenkens speciﬁc and which includes activities and infomiation for all age groups. in parallel the GBA Committee is looking at and seeking advice from government sponsored organisations, on how best to ‘Brand’ the Glenkens. This is proving to be a slightly more difﬁcuit task than initially envisaged. The Brand, in seeking to reﬂect the natural beauty and endless activities that take place throughout the seasons, must be inclusive but ‘snappy and coircise‘. Time is not on our side and presently we are attempting to generate the drive that will ensure we are able to target this year‘s potential visitors and tourists. Finally, the other matter that is in the committee's pending tray is a follow on to the hugely successful Glenkens Business Directory. It is clear that if the Association is to encourage new members then it will be important to re-issue the directory or at the very least to publish an addendum of new members, planned for later in the year. in conclusion, I hope that readers of the Glenkens Gazette will irave found the contents of the committee‘s in tray of interest and even thought provoking. Feedback is always weicoine either verbally or by email to the Secretary whose address may be found in the Business Directory. Should you not be a member of the association and are interested in joiniirg their do please contact the Secretary or any member of the committee and we will do the rest.

We have found 22 nests already this year, including a sprinkling in the Glenkens, but we know there is at least one other female of breeding age out there — but where? In recent weeks, Red Kite Officer George Christie, who lives in New Galloway, and myself, have seen considerable kite activity in this area, including courtship, but as yet nothing concrete has resulted. With so much afterblrth etc around following lambing, kites are appearing everywhere and it is sometimes difficult to interpret their behaviour when they meet up and interact together. However, although happy with our tally so far, a signiﬁcant increase on the 17 nests found last year, we will continue to keep our eyes open for new sites and would be grateful to hear from anyone who sees a kite going into a wood over the next couple of months. if the weather stays ﬁne, we can perhaps expect to have another ﬁne breeding season for many birds, although spare a thought for whaups (curlew), peasies (lapwlng) and other birds that rely on wet areas to ﬁnd insects and worms. The ground is so dry at present that they are having trouble, and this ls borne out by the lack of waders and thrushes in many of the drier areas. A bird that has beneﬁted from last year’s ﬁne weather is the black grouse, and I'm pleased to report that numbers at several leks (display areas) in the Glenkens are slightly up on recent years. Last week I visited a lek in a forest near Carsphairn, in early morning, and was enthralled by the antics of at least 6 dancing and iousting males. Numbers of these magniﬁcent birds have declined over the last twenty years due largely to the closure of the forest canopy over much of the region. However, we are working very closely with Forestry Commission is _ -__;ff*_1 i Scotland and private woodland owners to ensure that future woodland management beneﬁts black grouse. Most of our summer migrant birds are with us now, and l saw my earliest ever (Scottish) swifts at Ken Bridge on 27 April. Swallows have been around the houses, and wheatears around the hill dykes, for several weeks now, whilst the descending cadence of the ubiquitous willow warbler, or ‘weety', is seemingly everywhere. This latter species is decreasing rapidly in southern England, but increasing and pushing further north in Scotland. Whilst climate change is undoubtedly affecting the pattem of things in the counuyside overall, regional weather can also have a huge impact in any given year. So, for example, the same high pressure causing the wonderful sunshine that has brought our oaks and hawthoms into leaf three weeks early, has pushed rain and cold down into Spain and southern France - holding up millions of these migrants and initially leading to a dearth of birdsong despite the ﬁne weather. However, they are all here now and what wonderful music they make. Anyway, all of this was ambllng through my head as I sat on the Mulloch, looking in vain for elusive breeding kites, but listening to relaxing songs of willow warbiers amidst the heady coconut aroma of blooming gorse. Presently, l spotted a dessicated puff ball fungus and idly tapped it gently with the tip of my stick to send up tiny wee puffs of brown spores. lust then, a big bumblebee arrived and ﬂew low over it, the down-draft of its wings sending up a wee puff of its own. This made my day and again made me realise that there's always something new to see in the countryside, and how lucky we all are to be alive and living in the Glenkens in such a wonderful spring, or at any other time.

RSPB Glen kens Gazette page 5 NEW GALLOWAY — Ourr 5-55toric ﬂurgﬁ, by Helen Bolton — PART XX)-(V CZARSPHAIRN ﬁn THE SPORTING LIFE Tradesmen in the Thirties Having had a peep into the lives of the folk of New Galloway in the mid 19th century, it is interesting to compare that with life in the 20th century. By the i950's some of the old trades had vanished. No longer did we have a mill in the village, although the "Mill House" is still standing in the High Street today. The old mill buildings were used as workshops and stores by local tradesmen. We could no longer boast the straw-hat maker, the stocking maker, the many handloom weavers or the coopers, all these old trades having gradually died out over the irrterverring years. However, there were two tailors in the village, three dressmakers, and Alexander Bell the upholsterer, cabinet maker, furniture dealer, and dealer in loose covers, curtains and all manner of soft furnishings. Mr Bell's workshop and shop premises were in Srrrrrryside, and he and his wife lived at "Tire Gables” up the High Street on the comer of Greerrhead Brae. The Smithy, run by George Walker, was always an important part of village life. In the l930's there were still a great many horses used on the farms, and some people used horse-drawn transport in preference to motor vehicles. Farm machinery was made and maintained by George Walker, as were many household tools and implements. Robert Johnstone, the builder, who lived on the corner of Greenhead Brae, opposite to "The Gables", employed a large number of tradesmen, and in the early years of the century had built St. Margaret's Church, The Rectory, and many houses in the village, including “Ardlaggan", opposite to the Golf Club. Mr johrrstone was a ﬁne tradesman with a good reputation in the neighbourhood. He was also the undertaker for the village. Lip on the Newton Stewart road Mr McWi|liam had his garage and haulage business, and his horses were kept in the ﬁelds beyond the garage, where the houses of Braeside are now situated. Lewis Milligan ran his motor agents and car hire business, together with a radio and electrical specialists and repairs workshop. James Robertson was the local plumber, and ]oirn Martin was a carrier and cartage contractor. in the i930’s New Galloway was served by a goodly number of shops. The Post Office was up at the top of the High Street where later many will remember the dress shop called “The Pillar Box". The Postmaster was James Mitchell, a versatile gentiernan who was also the Registrar for the Burgh, the assistant Secretary at the Golf Club, hirer of bicycles, golf clubs, and the publisher of many local picture post cards! lohn Paterson ran the butcher's shop at the corner of Wylies Brae and the High Street, and ire also delivered meat to Dairy, Balmacleilan and many out-lying houses and farms. Miss Lansborough had a bakery where our present Post Ofﬁce is now situated, and was famous for her delicious home-made cakes and pastries. Robert Cowan"s grocery shop, at “Alexandra House" on the comer of the West Port, was fanred for a special blend of tea known as “The Raiders". This shop was later bought by Miss Agnes Thomson, fomrerly the rnanageress of Tire Stewartry Dairy Association Ltd, at their premises now known to us as Williamson and Henry, Estate Agents, in the High Street. Miss Thomson later becanre Mrs Lewis Milligan. McKnight’s grocery shop, Grain and General Merchants, was "bought by Mrs Kay and run as a very successful business with a mobile shop which served the rerrrote farms and houses in the area. Today we know the shop as ]irrr Hopkins’ most valuable "Village Shop”. Up beyond the WestPor1, almost opposite to lames Mitchell's Post Ofﬁce, was Miss Mc]anet’s sweets and groceries shop. She sold special home-made The exhibition opened at the Heritage Centre on 6"‘ April. During the following week a private viewing was held for all those who had contributed to the exhibition. On that occasion we were able to view the valuable Berbeth Gold Medal awarded to the club winning the annual curling competition between the parishes of Carsphairn, Dalmellington and Straiton. In the exhibition there are 54 photographs and illustrations, some of people who participated in a sport in the past, some of those who have given us their memories of their involvement as well as some of sporting events and others of buildings and places where the sport took place. Newspaper reports of matches and memories are displayed as well as an account of a murder which took place after a ganre of quoits in around 1850 at a site very close to the Heritage Centre. Artefacts include many of the trophies so keenly played for between the parishes, old skates, carpet bowls, minute books, game books and a magniﬁcent set of antlers. We hope that by the end of the season we may have some answers to the questions we still have. Already, one month after the exhibition has started, additional material has been handed in and we look forward to more. Do come and see the exhibition which will bel s open weekends and Bank Holidays until the end of May and then from ist June until the end of September it will be open daily except Wednesdays.

Miss Hobison’s drapery store was in the High Street, and that lust about rounds up the retail premises in the village. There was, of course, the Clydesdale Bank on the corner of the Kirk Road. Two hotels, the Cross Keys and the Kenmure P ee Arms, catered for the needs of the holiday-rnakers i A ~ who canre to sample the peace and quiet of the Glenkens, and to enioy our somewhat strenuous but beautifully situated Golf Course. Locals and visitors alike would gather in the bars of an evening to exchange news and discuss local events. In the ﬁshing season, no doubt many tales would be told over a drarrr or two, and many a good salmon Heating would assume wondrous proportions!

The project to convert The Old School in New Galloway is progressing well and the new Arts, Business and Community Centre — to be called The CatStrand after the original small stream under the building — is due to open in the autumn. The project is both on time and on budget. Contractors T.G. Graham and Sons from Langholm are determined that all will be completed in time for the Launch Festival in September. A general leaﬂet is soon to be distributed to all households in the Glenkens giving more details of the building project and the planned uses of the building. But in the meantime you might be interested to know that the building is to be heated by green renewable energy in the fornr of a wood pellet boiler. This boiler, sourced from a specialist Austrian company, is now on site and all the underﬂoor heating pipes which it feeds, are now in place. GCAT’s History Stop Project continues apace as research volunteers reach into the past. Since the project began in the autumn of 2006 a variety of subjects have been studied including: The Galloway Hydro-Electric Scheme; -Covenanters; Robert the Bruceis Wars of Independence; Sheep Farming; The Gordon Family and ‘the Pathﬁnder of Modern Science’ ]ames Clerk Maxwell (Albert Einstein, the godfather of Relativity, called him “a genius"). Whilst the overall topic list for the project is wide and varied, some researchers have concentrated on particular subjects and have already managed to gather together enough material to produce studies which are suitable for making into booklets. Alan and Phillipa Pallister are studying mottes in the Glenkens. A motte is an early strongpoint formed by erecting a wooden fortiﬁcation on top of a man-made hill then surrounding it with -5 ' a wooden stockade and/or a defensive ditch. These primitive castles were the means by which areas of countryside could be dominated, as they provided a base from which troops could sally forth or a defensive stronghold in times of attack. One of the important mottes in Galloway is at Balmacleilan, dating from around the beginning of the i3th Century and attributed to Roiarrd, grandson of Fergus of Galloway. Alan and Phillipa have completed a A mechanical ventilation system with heat exchange, which will maintain the auditorium atmosphere at a fresh and comfortable tenrperature, has now been installed; the piasterwork is complete and the painters have started.

As New Galloway residents will be aware, the main road opposite the CatStrand had to be dug up. The reason for this unforeseen disruption was that it becanre necessary to replace the connection to the main sewer. A camera had been sent down the original pipe only to discover that it had collapsed right under the middle of the road.

I. -=.--.'~ s page 7 Glenkens Gazette POEM HIGHLIGHTS TRAGEDY AT CARSPHAD IN APRIL I862 the last public hanging of a woman in Scotland took place in Durrrfries. Mary Tirrrrrey was hanged after being convicted of murdering Ann Hannah at Carsplrad farmhouse in the Glenkens in ianuary of that year. A poem describing botir occasions has recently been released. ’Carspirad Tragedy’ was written by Alexander Wilson in the i930s and has only recently been put into publication by his grandson Keith. Keith said: ”He wrote it in I932 during the building of the danrs. He was interested in poetry and had this wee black book where he had written the poem. That's how we knew how he did it. I originally had 50 printed and tirey’ve all been sold, so l'rrr going to get sorrre rrrore printed." The poem may irave been written 75 years ago and rerrrained in the family ever since, but Keith has only discovered in the past few years why his grandfather wrote it. He explained: ”I’ve realised all this recently through doing my farrrily history. I discovered he was interested in the Iarrrr, Greerrloop, because his grandfather used to work there as an agricultural labourer in the l840s. His mother was also born there. It was mentioned during the trial that Ann Hannah’s brothers were working on the fanrr the morning she was killed. That’s wiry Greerrloop is so important from my grarrdfather’s point of view. I think that’s wiry ire was so interested in the case, because in the whole area there was a lot of talk about it at the time. It's not the sort of thing you'd expect to be happening in the middle of nowhere.” Tire cottage where Mary Tinrney lived is still standing by the roadside, across from Carsfad Power Station just outside Dairy. People can also walk through the meadow where the brothers were working the morning of the murder, as it is now part of the Southern Upland Way. Copies of the poem, which cost £3, can be bought at the Stewartry Mrrseurrr in Kirkcudbright, the Carsphairrr Heritage Centre, Newton’s and the Soutirerrr Upland Way shop in Dairy and Barry Srrrart's in Castle Douglas.

The pupils were greeted by an eager and enthusiastic member of the Glasgow branch of the We have been nominated for The School of Excellance award, and the Scottish Executive came and visited the School and spent 3 hours " inspecting ‘ us and talking to the children.

The pupils changed into period costume from the early l900s and set off to the local rally to hear what the women had to say in an attempt to convince ail, including the government of the day, that women should have the vote. This was a dlfﬁcult exercise since most men believed that a woman's place was in the home and not in the tunnoii of politics. The pupils heard about the escapades of these women as the movement became increasingly militant. The other aspect of the standard grade curriculum that was touched on was that of Housing, and the various stages through which housing evolved in Glasgow as the authorities tried to provide adequate housing for the ever increasing urban population. Glasgow was famous for its "single end” and the pupils had ﬁrst hand experience of just how small these homes were. Apart from experiencing life in a “single end" they also had access to a wealth of pictures, artefacts sound and smells related to Giasgow’s living conditions in the early 20"‘ century which they had fun identifying. This is history at its best where pupils have “hands on" experiences, sampling life as it really was and being allowed to empathise with the people from that time.

We have now IO cadets within the group who participate on a regular occasion on a Wednesday night as per Module dates. There is still a vacancy for another 2 should there be anyone between the ages of i i and I6 who would like to beneﬁt from Fire Service fun and training. The new year for the cadets started with a free weekend away to the Outward Bound Centre at Llllswater where the cadets and two accompanying Retained Fireﬁghters enjoyed an action packed weekend which was made all the better for them by the sunny weather. There is a possibility of this becoming an annual event as it was so enjoyable. The cadets have divided into 2 ‘squads’ this year and each have a cadet who showed promise throughout last year as a ‘Crew Manager’ with responsibilities for some cadet matters. Also being planned will be an end of year trophy for the best squad which will be awarded for behaviour, enthusiasm and attendance amongst other items. More parental involvement will be given this year with all parents being able to regularly view the cadets portfolio and a quarterly report being sent to each parent about their child. This module the cadets have refreshed their knowledge of ladders and pump drills and hose running to name but a few. With 3 new cadets this has given them the opportunity to experience this for the ﬁrst time with the experienced crew Dairy 9.00 am 1*‘ 2"“ 3"‘ 4"‘ Kells 10.30 am 2"“ 3"‘ 4*" Special Services and Events 17th June 3.00 pm Conventicle by Blackwater near the youth hostel on BT000 22nd June 6.30 pm Midsummer Pot-Luck Supper at Manse, Dairy 29th July 10.30 am United Service with Glenkens Church Choir in Dairy Church Communion Services ist July 10.15 am Carsphairn Church SCOTTISH Eerscor-vu.
