Dr. McCrea commented: “After a number

of delays and disappointments, I have

received assurance from the Education

Authority (North Eastern Region) that the

appropriate finances are securely in place and that work will commence on the new

school in August. The Principal, teaching

staff and pupils of Parkhall Integrated

College have endured something of a

rollercoaster ride over their new build

project and have experienced many false

dawns and extreme disappointment when

funding was withdrawn. However, I have

gained an assurance that the necessary

finances, even with the budget fluctuations, have been allowed for the realisation of this

project and, therefore, we are on the verge

of achieving the sod cutting for the new

school.

I previously led a joint delegation to the

Education Minister at Stormont when the

school narrowly missed out during the last

financial allocation round, and the case for the new build was galvanised by support

from the Principal, Chairman of the Board

of Governors and elected representatives.

I was delighted when the Minister and the

Department accepted our presentation, but

I continued to have a number of further

meetings with the then NEELB to assist

in the removal of any further obstacles.

It is my understanding that the planning

application will be brought to a meeting of

the Antrim and Newtownabbey Borough

Council on 20th April, and I shall remain

in contact with the Department and the

new Education Authority to ensure that the

August deadline is met. I have no doubt

that the new build, when completed, will

provide a centre of educational excellence

and that the young people educated at

Parkhall will continue to bring honour and

distinction to their families and to Antrim

town in general. I shall continue to engage

with the Department, Education Authority

and the area planning office to ensure that the long awaited expectation of many

becomes a reality”.

MCREA WELCOMES AUGUST START DATE FOR PARKHALLDemocratic Unionist politician William McCrea has welcomed confirmation that work on the new school building for Parkhall Integrated College will commence in August 2015.

Hello

Mid AntrimWhat’s inside this month...

WELCOME TO CHATTERBOX

Your Local Newspaper

With a Difference!

S pring is now well underway and with it brings new adventures as us humans venture outside that wee bit more. With that in mind, we can expect to see more and more alfresco events on the horizon, making their way into your busy calendar. Spring is always an exciting time of year, life reborn and refreshed anew and hopefully we’re in for better climates than those Winter blues. But whatever the weather brings, know that you have your trusty issue number nine of the Chatterbox to either read in your paddling pools or in the house.

Yes, Mid Antrim’s biggest publication is once again hot of the press, straight into your hand and all for the recession busting price of Zero pence. And it’s a beefy 32-pages, packed to the gills with news and features that are right up your alley. There’s news on Allen Park in Antrim’s new leisure facility, with the first of the sods being cut. News of talented Ahoghill boy Matthew Crawford producing a CD to raise money for cancer fund for children, with the total and pic. We have serious news from Paul Frew MLA on driver behaviour at the Broughsane Roundabout and Mr Robin Swann MLA welcoming the

continuation of works on the A26. We’ve printed some practical tips on how to take care of your skin in the Spring sunshine and have top tips for spring cleaning and DIY. We’ve also sport at the back and have an array of local businesses with their ads and their news. Thanks to them and thanks to all contributors. You can like us on facebook under ChatterboxPaper or visit our website www.chatterboxni.co.uk. We’ll be back next month with tips on how to look after yourself in 30 degrees heat and reporting on a shortage of sun factor (we wish!) in Mid Antrim...Enjoy!

REFLECTIONS OF THE PAST IN BALLYMENAWte continue in our series of photos of

photos from Ballymena in the past. Last month

we had old photos showing the diamond in

Agoghill, Ballymena Young Conquerers Flute

Band at Harryville Bridge (Early 1900’s) and

Dromona House from 1987.

This month we look at an aerial shot of

Ballymena Work House, The workhouse, built

in 1842-3, was designed by George Wilkinson

and occupied a six-acre site at the west side of

Cushendall Road to the north of Ballymena.

It could accommodate 900 inmates. The cost

of the building was £6,600 plus £1,800 for

fixtures and fittings etc. It was declared fit for the admission of paupers on 3rd November

1843, and admitted its first inmates two weeks later on the 17th November.

We also take a look at the Ballymena Train

Station from yesteryear and have a wonderful

shot of Harryville bridge looking towards Town

Centre, Ballymena.

A talented young Ahoghill boy has raised £1,900 for a local charity close to his heart with the sale of a CD. Matthew Crawford raised the money for the Cancer Fund for Children – a charity which has supported his family – by donating proceeds from his CD ‘Oh How I Need You’. Previously the big hearted Ahoghill boy raised £1,550 for the cancer charity by producing DVDs of Ahoghill’s Twelfth of July parade and selling them

in local shops. The money raised is going towards a fantastic charity that offers practical, emotional and financial support to local families affected by cancer. For more information on the charity log on to cancer-fundforchildren.com.

R ichard Cairns, the TUV candidate for South Antrim, has claimed that Belfast International Airport has been neglected. Mr Cairns said: "On Wednesday afternoon along with my party leader Jim Allister, I attended a meeting with Graham Keddie, the Managing Director of Belfast International Airport. Mr Keddie has a clear vision for Belfast International and it was apparent that it has a lot more to offer that it is currently being enabled to do. "Belfast International is a key employer in South Antrim, having 4000 jobs dependent on its success. With the options for an Enterprise Zone being explored by the airport, the chance to grow and create new jobs is an opportunity that needs to be taken. I fully support Mr Keddie in making this a reality. “Belfast International Airport should be the hub of tourism and business in Northern Ireland as it is the gateway into the country. Unfortunately, it has been frustrated by how tourism is marketed for Northern Ireland and a lack of investment in infrastructure. “The development of the International

Airport and adequate public transport links, including a rail link and dual carriageway connection to the M2, should be prioritised, especially now that Dublin - which already steals so much of our air traffic - is considering a direct rail link from Belfast. There is something radically wrong with the government of Northern Ireland if passengers can connect by rail to Dublin airport but not to our own international airport. “On the international market Northern Ireland is being held back as it is promoted by Tourism Ireland which sells Ireland as a single destination. Tourism NI is even prohibited from promoting Northern Ireland in Great Britain! This is hampering the growth of the tourism industry. "To compound that, air passenger duty on short haul flights in Northern Ireland makes Dublin a more attractive proposition for airlines and passengers where they have abolished the tax. “By failing to prioritise Belfast International Airport tourism will go to Dublin and the airport will not be able to compete.”

BELFAST INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT BEING LEFT BEHIND – CAIRNS

S tatement by TUV Westminster candidate and Mid and East Antrim Deputy Mayor Timothy Gaston: "I

welcome the fact that 4G has been introduced to Ballymena. "This will

make a huge difference to mobile uses who will now be able to download

online content much more quickly than is possible on a 3G network.

"However, this development should also remind us of the poor

mobile phone coverage which many people receive in North Antrim and

the complete lack of even 3G in rural locations. As a representative of Bannside on the council I am only too well aware of this problem due to both

my own experience and speaking to members of the public. Improving

mobile services across North Antrim, not just in Ballymena, is something

which I will continue to fight for."

T he future’s looking bright for Allen Park, with the first sod being cut in preparation for the exciting, new leisure facility planned for the site. The first phase of the new development, which will begin within the next few weeks, will focus on a reconfiguration and extension of the current clubhouse to include a new full size sports hall, meeting room, changing rooms and new reception area. The project also includes refurbishment of the driving range, extension to the car park and the addition of three 4th generation pitches suitable for rugby, soccer and Gaelic. Speaking at the event, then Mayor of Antrim, Councillor Brian Graham commented, “There is no doubt that this new facility will offer the community the opportunity to engage in a wide range of sport and physical activity. We very much appreciate the generous financial support from the Enkalon

Foundation, which has worked very closely with the Council over the last 30 years for the benefit of the people of Antrim.” The Mayor continued, “I would like to extend a special thank you to the members of Antrim Golf Club and Antrim Lawn Bowling Club for their continued support over the years. I would also like to thank Chimney Corner Football Club for their co-operation in releasing lands adjacent to the site for part of this new project. I have no doubt these partnerships, as well as many others, will only strengthen as the new sports hub develops.” Raymond Milnes of Enkalon Foundation commented, “The Enkalon Foundation is delighted to award a grant of £350,000 to this new leisure facility which is the largest grant that the Founda-tion has ever awarded. There is no doubt it will be a facility which will be of great benefit to the health and well-being of the community and we look forward to watching its development.”

M r Robin Swann MLA,the Ulster Unionist Party’s Westminster candidate for North Antrim, has “warmly welcomed the actual beginning of a road scheme which will hopefully mark the beginning of the end of one of Northern Ireland’s most notorious accident blackspots”. Assemblyman Swann, who is UUP Chief Whip and Chairman of the Stormont Employment and Learning Committee, was speaking as he joined Roads Minister and fellow UUP MLA Danny Kennedy at the official ground-breaking ceremony for the commencement of the continued dualling of the A26 between Ballymoney and Ballymena. Mr Swann said: “It was an occasion of mixed emotions. As a party, we are we pleased to see the official start to this much-needed road improvement scheme, but it is also tinged with great sadness as we remember those killed and injured over the years at this notorious

accident blackspot. “While, as a community, we should warmly welcome the beginning of this project because it should make this stretch of the A26 safer for motorists, we should also remember in our thoughts and prayers the families who have lost loved ones or had loved ones injured as a result of incidents along this dangerous piece of road. “We hope, too, when the project is finally completed that it will enable this stretch of the A26 to lose the terrible reputation of being one of the Province’s most notorious accident blackspots,” said Assemblyman Swann.

L ocal MLA for North Antrim Paul Frew has secured even more safety improvements for Broughshane residents. Mr Frew was contacted recently by constituents who had concerns about driver behaviour on the mini roundabout junction between the Knockan Road and Raceview Road in Broughshane. There were reports of large vans and cars speeding right up to the roundabout assuming they have right of way, and ignoring the give way sign putting other vehicles in terrible danger. Mr Frew said, “I wrote to Transport NI on this matter urging something to be done to prevent the roundabout from being so hazardous for users, I asked them to consider additional works to improve the safety of this junction.”The roundabout has massively improved the safety of the junction compared to what it was like before the roundabout was installed and no ne wishes to go back to long queues waiting to get out of the Knockan rd cutting off that part of the village . This was one of my first acheivements when i first got involved in politics but there is clearly still room for

improvement in urging drivers to seriously take note of give way signs, especially at roundabouts where traffic is constantly moving and visibility is limited."Mr Frew commented, “Transport NI informed me that additional signage on top of Advance directional signage indicating the presence of the roundabout had been provided for motorists when approaching from the Raceview Road and Main Street. Also the grey backing signage on Main Street will be replaced with yellow backing signage to enhance the visibility of the roundabout to approaching motorists travelling from the village.” Mr Frew said, “I am very glad that such significant changes have been made, it will put drivers at peace of mind travelling on our roads when these extra measures of safety have been taken. I want to ask drivers to take extra care for the safety of yourselves and those around you. It is important that we all take note of give way signs and abide by the rules of roads and roundabouts to prepare for the unexpected and prevent these potentially hazardous situations.”

I an Paisley's General Election campaign team this week put up their biggest 2015 campaign banner, which was in 2010 the biggest advertisement in the country. The 60x15 feet image is situated on the Algrams Furniture billboard on Railway Street in Ballymena.Mr Paisley commented "There has to be an element of fun when it comes to election

campaigns, otherwise they could become very dull and repetitive operations! We're really enjoying being out on the doors. The competition for the best spots for posters, the timing of party political broadcasts and trying to find unique ways to capture the public imagination are all part of the process. It entails a lot of planning and man power and all plays its part in a successful campaign."

PAISLEY PULLS OUT THE BIG GUNS

POLITICS HEATING UPIan Paisley JNR puts down the marker

T he DUPs Ian Paisley visited Benvardin Animal Rescue Kennels this week to discuss developments since they managed to raise the initial £5000 that was required in order to avoid the USPCA owned site being sold to another bidder.Speaking at the kennels Mr Paisley commented “It is good to get on site here at Benvardin to learn firsthand how progress is being made since the successful raising of the necessary £45000 thanks to public donations that prevented the site being sold at this time.We have discussed today however how much of a battle still lies ahead for the

rescue shelter.The issue of finance is still hanging over this wonderful sanctuary for abandoned cats and dogs and it is vital at this stage that procedures are put in place to ensure that future financial requirements can be met and the threat of closure is eliminated permanently.As soon as the General Election is over, should I be re-elected I intend to sit down with all the appropriate bodies such as the USPCA and public representatives to ensure that we can relieve the threat of closure and ease the already heavy burden on these dedicated staff.”

S peaking on handing in his nomination papers

TUV Westminster candidate Timothy Gaston said:

“Northern Ireland needs an overhaul of democratic

policies and only TUV is serious about bringing that

change. With the devolved arrangements across

the United Kingdom set to be a major issue in the

next Parliament due to the fallout from last year’s

Scottish independence referendum, TUV needs to

be there to make the case for voters in Northern

Ireland to have the same basic democratic rights as

electors in other parts of the UK, the right to vote a

party out of government and the right to have an

opposition.

“I am also deeply concerned at how Westminster

has become subservient to Brussels, unable to

even control our own borders. I will fight for the UK to have a say on leaving the EU in a referendum

early in the life of the next Parliament. TUV is clear.

We believe that we would be better off out and will

campaign not just for a referendum but also for a

vote to liberate us from the shackles of Brussels in

the event of such a vote being called.

“A vote for TUV isn’t just about the big political

issues locally and nationally. With our hospitals,

schools and front line services are all fighting for survival a vote for TUV sends the clearest signal that

you are fed up with the old parties of failure and

want someone on your side..

“I want things to be better for us all. The loss

of quality jobs at JTI brings home the perilous

economic situation and the urgency for Invest

NI to fight for jobs for this constituency. Invest NI needs to realise Northern Ireland does not end at

Glengormley. Thus as MP I would not tolerate the

scandal that in the last 5 years Invest NI brought

only 8 potential foreign investors to North Antrim,

but 739 to the Belfast constituencies. We demand

fair treatment.”

GASTON - THE REAL ALTERNATIVE IN NORTH ANTRIM

POLITICS HEATING UPGaston gets his spoke in ahead of elections, is he going to get your vote?

A ntrim man Richard Cairns has entered

the electoral contest for South Antrim

representing Jim Allister’s Traditional

Unionist Voice. Promising more effective

representation for the constituency and a

commitment to work accountably for all

residents, Mr. Cairns says he offers a choice

for South Antrim voters not just to cast their

judgment on the failures of Stormont, but to

endorse a positive alternative for the future.

Richard Cairns said: “Increasingly, people

look at Stormont with despair. Whether

it is coping responsibly with a reducing

budget, giving certainty and hope to parents

and children in our education system, or

defending traditional values in society, the

other parties have delivered failure after

failure. In fact, for many it has gone beyond

disappointment and entered the realm of

farce. TUV offers a radical and progressive

alternative for government - placing

democracy, accountability and delivery for

the people of Northern Ireland at its core.

The work of building a better future for our

children, a forward looking Northern Ireland

contributing within a united Kingdom, and a

British nation assured of its role in the world,

begins with voting TUV on the 7th May.”

Commenting on the upcoming contest in

South Antrim, Mr. Cairns said: “In South

Antrim the main two parties will be slugging

it out, yet in other constituencies they have

carved it up and will be asking their own

supporters to vote for the other party. So,

for the South Antrim voter, what does the

difference between voting DUP or UUP mean?

It is a false choice. If you feel let down by the

decisions made in Stormont or Westminster,

the only real pro-Union alternative is TUV.”

South Antrim is a key constituency for the

Traditional Unionist Voice, buoyed by their

growing support across the constituency

in last year’s council elections. Looking

forward to his campaign, Mr. Cairns said:

“Westminster is important. The UK is

currently debating constitutional changes,

and South Antrim should be fully involved

in this discussion. I look forward to hearing

people’s views on the doorstep about

the local issues that affect them and their

communities, while offering the opportunity

for our constituency to play a full role in

shaping the direction of our country.

“I ask for your support in taking this first step – vote Cairns on 7th May.”

L ocal MLA for North Antrim Paul Frew

directed questions on St Patrick’s Barracks

to The First Minister on the Assembly floor .The Minister reported that OFMDFM

officials have been engaged in discussions with Department for Social Development

officials and other stakeholders in relation to the future regeneration of St. Patrick’s

Barracks. The Department of Social

Development is preparing a proposal to

purchase the site from OFMDFM for the

purposes of regeneration. This approach

should enable early progress to be made

on the regeneration of the site and the

delivery of a range of economic and

social benefits, subject to any formal commitments required by the Department

for Social Development from the

stakeholders.

Mr Frew put forward his concerns for

his constituency of North Antrim to the

Minister speaking, “Given the impact of

the JTI Gallaher job losses on Ballymena

and the Province as a whole, what

discussions has he had with the new Social

Development Minister about the proposed

TUV - THE REAL & ONLY ALTERNATIVE IN SOUTH ANTRIM

FREW RAISES QUESTIONS TO FIRST MINISTER ON ST. PATRICK’S BARRACKS

plans for the site to ensure that progress is

made as quickly as possible, not only for

public sector investment but private-sector

investment alongside it.”

The Minister responded to Mr Frew that

following discussions with the Social

Development Minister, he is keen to pass

the site on to their Department in the very

near future after some legal issues are

resolved around the transfer of the site.

The Minister of Social Development is also

keen that the proposal is worked up for the

future shape of the site. There is already a

proposal in relation to housing and he is

also looking at some educational value on

the site.

The First Minister went on, “I know that

he has had meetings with the Minister for

Employment and Learning in relation to

ensuring that there is some skills element

to the site as well.Who knows whether

there might be some possibility of the

future use of the site for the private sector

as well? I understand as well that it is

possible that it might help some of the

traffic flows in the Ballymena area, which would be useful to local residents.”

‘T he Methodist Modern Art Collection travels to Northern Ireland for the first time in its 55 year history. The Braid Arts Centre, Ballymena, Co. Antrim will exhibit The Methodist Art Collection from 10th May – 18th June, 2015. The Methodist Modern Art Collection comprises paintings, limited edition prints and reliefs. In the early 1960s John Morel Gibbs, a Methodist layman and art collector – realising that many Non-conformists had little appreciation of the insights that contemporary artists could bring to the Christian story – decided to create a collection of prime examples of such work that could be toured around the country. This he did, with the help of Methodist minister, the Rev. Douglas Wollen. The works they acquired became the core of the present Collection – described as “the best denominational collection of modern art outside the Vatican”. The Collection includes leading names from the British art world of the last 100 years, such as Edward Burra, Elisabeth Frink, Eric Gill, Patrick Heron and Graham Sutherland. The Collection is available as a touring

exhibition, and has travelled widely, to town and city galleries, cathedrals, churches and schools across England, showing at four to six venues a year. When not on tour, the Collection is stored under the care of a custodian at the Oxford Centre for Methodism and Church History, Oxford Brookes University. However, excitingly 2015 will see The Methodist Modern Art Collection travel to Northern Ireland for the first time in its 55 year History, as it takes up residence in The Braid Arts Centre, Ballymena, Co. Antrim from 10th May – 18th June. The Methodist Art Collection is one of national importance and continues to expand to reflect the ideas of contemporary artists. This presentation of the collection provides a fantastic opportunity to experience very high quality work up close in familiar local spaces and local Churches in partnership with Ballymena Churches Forum & The Braid Arts Centre.The project will also include an Arts Trail around the local churches, with a painting from the collection being exhibited in several Churches around the Ballymena Borough, turning local members of the congregation into arts ambassadors for their selected artwork.

Local Business – The Music Rooms Releases Charity Single To Raise Money For Hope4EllsaLocal business man Rodney Beggs and a team of colleagues and friends from The Music Rooms have released a single in order to raise money for a little girl called Ellsa Adams, perhaps better known as ‘Hope4Ellsa’.Rodney met Ellsa’s parents in the ward of the Royal Victoria Hospital in June last year when he was sitting by the bedside of his own daughter, Mary as they battled through some major complications that were both anticipated before birth and palpable after he and his wife Sinead’s little girl was born.Rodney Commented, ‘We are very much on our own journey with our daughter, Mary, however slowly but surely we are beginning to get some movement on her treatment.’ Mary will be undergoing major brain surgery in the summer to hopefully tackle some of her constant daily struggles, however the same cannot be said for Aaron, Leanne and little Ellsa.Ellsa has been diagnosed with a condition called CDLK5. Initially the money being raised was to help toward taking her to America for expert treatment on her epilepsy but since this diagnosis, funds will now be going toward giving Ellsa the best chance at life through a number of therapies such as Visual, Music, Water, Physio, OT and many more. Ellsa’s dad Aaron said ‘if we

can get Ellsa to do one thing that the doctors and medical books say she shouldn’t do with her condition, we have won the battle against CDLK5’. When asked about the song, Rodney said,

‘I wrote the song while sitting by my daughter Mary’s bedside in the RVH. I had no real intentions of doing anything with it bar using it as a therapy for myself when times got pretty tough but then in a desire to do something to help little Ellsa I realised that with a little help from some friends I could put something together that would hopefully surpass

a mere affordable donation.’ ‘ Having been in Leanne and Aaron’s position ourselves with Mary, I can empathise with the complete unknown and uncertainty surrounding the life of a precious daughter and with this in mind I wanted to do something that would hopefully have an impact.’ ‘I am deeply indebted to The Gribbin Girls, Frankie McClay (Einstein Studios), Jonathan Dempster, Jonathan Law, Aaron Blair, Green Pastures Church, Peter McNicholl and Ballyprint.com who all gave up their time so freely and willingly to help make this happen’.And so folks, that’s the story behind the song, now all you have to do is download it, share it and tell your friends and family to do the same! The song can be purchased through the website www.songforellsa.co.uk. Thank you in advance!

W ith the spring sunshine encouraging us to

be more active outdoors, the Public Health Agency

(PHA) and Cancer Focus Northern Ireland are

reminding us to take care in the sun when out and

about.

Cyclists, runners and walkers may not realise that

while they are building up their heart, lungs and

physical strength, they may also be building up

their risk of skin damage from the sun.

Dr Miriam McCarthy, Consultant in Public

Health Medicine at the PHA, said: “Being active

outdoors is good for our health, but despite our

unpredictable weather, we are still exposed to

significant levels of ultraviolet radiation (UVR) from the sun, even on cloudy or breezy days. The

majority of our population has fair skin, which

provides little protection against the sun, so even

a small amount of sun can cause serious skin

damage.”

UVR from the sun can cause skin cancer, aging, wrinkling and eye damage, so it is vital to take the

necessary measures to protect yourself to safely

enjoy sport and outdoor activities.

Marbeth Ferguson, Skin Cancer Prevention

Coordinator, Cancer Focus said: “It is vitally

important that people who spend a lot of time

outdoors take the necessary steps to protect their

skin from harmful UV rays and actively reduce the risks of skin cancer. If you are exercising outdoors

this spring and summer, there are a number of

simple steps you can take to protect yourself. By

following these simple tips, we can all enjoy the

benefits of healthier, more active and happier lifestyles in a safe way.”

Tips on how to stay safein the sun:

- Seek shade when the sun is at its strongest –

generally 11am to 3pm

- Cover up in the sun with a long sleeved T-shirt,

sunglasses and a hat

- Use sunscreen with a minimum SPF of 15 for UVB protection and 4 star for UVA protection. Apply liberally 30 minutes before going out in the sun

and re-apply at least every two hours

- Be sure to cover areas which are sometimes

missed, such as the lips, ears, around the eyes,

neck, scalp and backs of hands.

For further information on

how to enjoy the sun safely

visit www.careinthesun.org

If you are concerned about

skin cancer call the Cancer

Focus NI free information and

support helpline on 0800

783 3339 or email one of the

charity’s nurses on helpline@

cancerfocusni.org.

TAKE CARE OF YOUR SKININ THE SPRING SUNSHINE

ANTRIM COUNCIL SAY ‘STAY SAFE’By taking care of your skin in the Spring sunshine, enjoy the

benefits of a healthier, more active and happier lifestyle

M ayor of Antrim, Councillor Thomas

Hogg and Deputy Mayor, Councillor John

Blair enjoyed a whistle stop tour of Antrim and

Crumlin recently.

The trip was organised so that the Mayor

and Deputy Mayor could get to meet the

staff of the new Antrim and Newtownabbey

Borough Council. They were also able to see

for themselves the excellent facilities which

are available, right on the doorstep, including

Antrim Castle Gardens, Antrim Forum and

Crumlin Leisure Centre.

Speaking after the tour, the Mayor

commented, “This was an excellent

opportunity to meet the staff and to see

the first class facilities available within the Borough. There is no doubt that, as we move

forward into a new era with Antrim and

Newtownabbey Borough Council, we are

well equipped to become one of the best

performing Councils in Northern Ireland.”

Deputy Mayor, Councillor John Blair

reiterated the Mayor’s comments, remarking,

“As I toured the facilities, I was particularly

interested in hearing about the energy saving

measures which have been introduced at the

Leisure Centres and in Antrim Castle Gardens,

a top class visitor destination. It was clear to

see that the staff are proud of these facilities.”

It's spring-cleaning time. To make things a little easier, we have 13 tips that will help you keep your house in tip-top shape any time of year.

Taking Care of Stainless SteelTo keep your stainless steel bright and clean, Adam Kamens of Amuneal Manufacturing Corp suggests using a light mist of wax-based aerosol spray once or twice a week. Don’t put on too much - you don’t want to soak the surface and make it greasy. Wipe the mist with a clean, lint-free cloth, and never use oils to keep away fingerprints - lint will stick to the oil. Also, don’t use cleaners with bleach after after you’ve put on the waxy layer, or it will dry out and lose some of the luster. Finally, don’t use anything abrasive, not even mild products like Soft Scrub or Scotch-Brite pads. You don’t want to scratch or ruin the surface.

Organizing ClosetsOrganizing your closet is the first step to organizing the rest of your home. Get rid of unused clothes and accessories, and organize the rest by how you get dressed in the morning and by colour. Your closet will look appealing, and your everyday routing will be easier

Removing Stains and OdorsRuth Travis, president of the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification, says that to remove stains and odors, blot up as much of the smelly mess as you can right away. While you’re blotting the upholstery, put a plastic liner or a garbage bag between the cushion and the fabric so you don’t push the contaminant into the cushion. Then flush

with cold water as best you can. Blot and flush again. Cold water doesn’t set stains as much as hot water. You can also use a portble spot cleaner or wet/dry vac. If there’s still a residual odor, use a half vinegar, half water solution and rinse again. If that doesn’t work, call in the professionals.

Cleaning Painted WallsTo clean your painted walls, Carl Minchew, director of Product Development at Benjamin Moore, suggests starting with a clean cloth or sponge and water. If that doesnt’t work, dip the rag or sponge into water mixes with a little dishwasher liquid, the milder the better. If the stain persists, apply a few drops of soap directly onto the wet sponge or cloth you’re using. For more stubborn cases, you could apply a little soap right onto the stain. If you need to resort to a stronger product like Fantastik or Formula 409, realise they have strong solvents in them and can soften the paint surface. Make sure that whatever you do to get rid of the stain, you rinse the wall after with plain water.

Creating a Different MoodFor easy makeovers, designer Thomas O’Brien says, “I’ve always collected textiles, and you can make a fast, easy change with bedding, towels, and table linens to create a different mood. Switch things out seasonally, or for a special event, or whenever you want to play with a certain colour or pattern.

Cleanig Your Carpet

To keep carpets looking nice, Paul Iskyan, owner of Rug Renovating, suggests taking off your shoes when you get home - but leave your socks on because walking around in bare feet leaves natural oils that attract dirt. Try to vacuum every day and use a top-load vacuum, so the dirt falls inward, and HEPA filters. Change the filters often, so you don’t blow pollutants back into the air. For less-trafficked areas, you can get away with cleaning the carpets once or twice a year, and every 18 months for a bedroom. For higher-traffic areas, the most often you’d need to bring in professionals would be three or four times a year, although once you see that your carpet’s dirty, you probably should have it cleaned for health reasons.

Caring For Your TilesMArty Hoffman of Hoffman Brothers Floors suggests cleaning bathroom and kitchen tiles with a cleaner that has “neutral pH” on the label. You can also mix baking soda and water for a homemade cleaner: Pour 1/2 cup baking soda into 2 gallons water and mix very well. Then apply the liquid with a string mop or sponge mop. For grout, use the same baking soda and water mixture, but for tough stains, call in the pros.

Removing Stains from CountertopsGetting rid of stains on granite can be tricky, but the key according to kitchen designer Florence Perchuk, is to wipe up stains ASAP. Also have your countertop sealed a few times as soon as it’s installed. You’ll

know it’s sealed properly when water beads and forms droplets on the surface. Then have it sealed again a year later. You can poultice away rust, and you remove soap scum or mildrew with a solution of 1/2 cup ammonia in a gallon of water. For most coffee or juice stains you can use a little hydrogen peroxide in water, plus a few drops of ammonia. For everyday wear-and-tear, buff away small scratched with superfine dry steel wool, called “grade 0000.”

Reorganise BookshelvesSort books by size and subject. Remove and discard any ripped dust jackets (unless you think they might have value). Line books, some vertically, some horizontally, in a rhythmic pattern. This will relieve the monotony of rows.

Caring For Your Area RugsPhilip Costikyan of Restoration by Costikyan says you should clean your area rugs every four or five years - or every 10 years if a rug is not walked on much. Overcleaning contributes to wear and tear. REally fine silk rugs need to be cleaned only every 20 or 30 years. For treating stains at home, keep a bottle of club soda on hand. Stains caused by pets, coffee, orange soda, red wine and anything with dye or an acid base are the hardest to remove, and the key is to act quickly. Pour club soda directly onto the area, let the soda absorb into the yarn, and the salt in the soda will neutralize the acid. Blot again and again, until the residue is gone. For bloodstains, you should use milk instead, and for soil and grease-based stains, mix 1 part Ivory soap detergent with 16 parts water. If you still see residuce when it dries, call an expert.

TOP TIPS FOR SPRING CLEANING




Affordable tips to help spruce up your house and garden this Bank Holiday without breaking the bank. You don’t need lots of money or time to transform your house and garden this Bank Holiday.

Add ColourPaint a feature wall or even just the alcoves either side of your chimney breast. Go on, put some colour on those magnolia walls. It is simply the quickest and cheapest way to make over a room – buy a tin of paint ready-mixed, a roller tray and cutting in brush and away you go. You could do this in an hour if you work together, one rolling and one cutting in.

Clean Up Your GuttersSave loads of time by making good your rusting gutters and downpipes by using Hammerite’s Direct To Rust smooth black paint.

Light Up Your HallHanging a mirror gives an instant lift to your hall and makes the space seem twice the size.

Get a Handle On ItIf you are fed up with rickety cupboard handles that are falling off and look dated, why not replace them all with something stylish that works? You can pick them up for as little as £3 each from hardware and DIY stores.

Vibrant BathroomHow’s this for an instant bathroom lift? Swap your faded towels for a pile of bright fluffy ones. Opt for a warm, vibrant colour and you can’t go wrong.

Refresh Your BedroomJazz up your bedroom with new sheets. Try white hotel-style sheets, or simple traditional gingham. The White Company does luxury versions, while Ikea’s are brilliant value. It’s such a classic look – you can buy them anywhere.

Brighten Things UpIf you’re really working on a budget and have half tins of leftover paint in the garage but want to jazz up a window sill or a garden container, be adventurous and try something new. Here are a couple of ideas – oil drums can be bought for between £15 and £30. Once you clean them out, make sure they have drainage holes and fill with good soil or compost. You can use them for groups of plants, even small trees or bamboos can look dramatic. Make sure to top dress every year and don’t let

them dry out. And for the smaller areas, what about this collection of old pickle cans? I saw them on a table outside a shop in the south of Spain, colour co-ordinated to go with the wares on sale. What could you do to create your own jaunty collection? I can imagine succulents, cacti, geraniums, fuchsias or even mounds of basil, thyme or oregano bursting through these colourful tins. You could even go one level smaller with old soup cans! Have a go, there’s a project that can be completed in an hour or so.

Inventive Plant PotsWe can be inventive about our displays of plants – they are there to entertain us. Here are a couple of examples where extremely simple containers have been knocked up or found in a bric a brac sale and used to house temporary displays of favourite plants or ones that look like they need a bit of jazzing up. The secret here is doing something slightly unexpected - the succulents and cacti together in a long trough made from rough wood look luxurious. Can you imagine rows of them on a windowsill

by a front door or gazing past them from the window beside your kitchen sink? They will frame a view beautifully. And what about this other images of bits and pieces – an old Coca cola bottle carrier has a new and much healthier use as a home for a group of plants than lying in a dump. Plants that ordinarily you may not give second glance to but set in them in the centre of your table as an arrangement like this and they become an exotic mishmash - all it takes is a little bit of thought. Whatever you use, pots and containers stuffed with colour however clashing will brighten up the dullest areas and create a welcoming and attractive environment.

Do The BasicsIt might sound obvious, but an hour of weeding or mowing the lawn really does make a difference. Why not jet wash your patio? It will look fabulous in no time.

Repaint Your DoorRepair then repaint your front door a gorgeous summery colour. Sandtex has a range of lovely colours that will steer you from the boring traditional green, black or navy. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions and prepare your surface well before you paint.

A round 100 people recently joined Lord Lieutenant of County Antrim, Mrs Joan Christie OBE, former Mayor of Antrim Councillor Brian Graham and Crumlin Royal British Legion for the Rededication of Crumlin War Memorial. Speaking at the service, Councillor Graham said, “During the redevelopment of the former Community Centre into the new Leisure Centre, Antrim Borough Council worked closely with Crumlin Royal British Legion to repair, restore and relocate the almost 100 year old war memorial to a more prominent location within the site.” He continued, “Consisting of a pitched roof, supported by oak walls on a granite stone wall base, it formed the entrance to Crumlin War Memorial Park. Its original position was on a footpath leading from Main Street to a four and a half acre park, but was relocated to its current position after restoration and refurbishment.”

Northern Ireland President of the Royal British Legion, Colonel Mervyn Elder MBE thanked Antrim Borough Council for its leadership, support and generosity, “The location of the Memorial at this site of regeneration will help bring greater Civic pride and public awareness to the most important issue of Remembrance of those who made the supreme sacrifice so that we might have the freedom we enjoy today.” The First World War began for the people of Ireland and Britain on 4 August 1914 when war was declared after Germany’s invasion of Belgium and lasted until 11 November 1918 with the defeat of Germany and her allies. The interior plaques of the memorial are original and contain the names of those who served and died in World War One. The plaques on the exterior of the Memorial are replicas and contain the names of those who served and died in World War Two. The originals are displayed in Crumlin First Presbyterian Church.

M ichelle O’Neill, minister of Agriculter and rural development stated she was “very aware that the health and well being of those living in the rural areas is linked to the support network of family and friends around them”. “This is the very heart of a community network, people talking, socialising and having a sense of belonging. Unfortunately, I am also that more could be done to support rural community groups to help them create the right communities to thrive and to prosper.” “I `m therefore pleased to announce my

department’s new Rural Micro Capital Grant Programme with £200,000 available initially, that will provide funding towards the purchase of vital pieces of equipment and improvement of facilities.” An offer of anything between £200 and £1,500 has been set aside to help with equipment and minor capital works for the recipents the new funding is called “The Rural Micro Capital Grant Programme.” Improving the lives for those living in the rural communities have got a chance to avail of new funding, with a programme designed for their benefit.

CAPITAL FUNDING SCHEME LAUNCHED

MONEY, MONEY, MONEY

D irect debit, online, standing order, telephone, cheque and by using ‘Rates QuickPay Card’ are ways in which the Department of Finance and Personnell’s Land & Property collect the money to deal with rate bills. Simon Hamilton, finance minister spoke about the available options to the rate payers, he stated “In recognising the need to offer ratepayers easier and more convienent ways to pay their rate bill, my department has put in place a number of improved payment options which are available from April 2015. The easiest and most convienent method is by Direct Debit. Around 55% of ratepayers currently avail of this service, which enables the cost of the rate bill to be spread over a 10 month period and helps to ease any financial pressure.” 7th, 15th or 28th of each month has been chosen as the collection dates for the Direct Debits. Simon Hamilton spoke about the wide range of other payment mehtods in which

customers can use to pay their bills “Significant improvements have been made to online payment, which is simpler, quicker and there is now no transaction fee when paying by credit card. Ratepayers can also continue to pay with Rates QuickPay card, which is accepted in any Post Office and, from this year, the card can be used at PayPoint outlets across Northern Ireland, including garages, newagents and convience stores.”

I n the centenary year of any orgaisation or business it is a big thing. This year though for Progressive Building Society it is extra special as it has it’s best ever financial results as well as doubling their profits for the second successive year. Savings deposits and mortgage lending on a high is a huge contribution to the firm and this is reflected within their accounts thanks to

the consumers of Northern Ireland. As they prepare for the 100th annual general meeting, the company mentioned how their profits were £9.85 million last year, and this is after tax. They back this up stating that the high revenue comes from new confidence levels that have seen more and more people take out mortgages and saving deposits with them as this amount was £4 million in 2013.

From 2013 retail savings went up by 19% to £278 million. Mortgage lending also rose, to £153 million, almost 30% increase. The total assets of the firm rose by £68 million bringing them to £1.68 billion due to the merger between themselves and the City of Derry Building Society. Also this year Progressive extended their business by opening a branch in Ballymena and Cornmarket in Belfast City Centre, there is also more plans to open an outlet in Derry and also an expenditure of £500,000 to improve headquarters facilites. “In what was out centenary year, a key milestone for business, we have achieved an excellent performance in our markets, maintaining a well-structured balance sheet with total savings balances of £1.425million an increase of 6%.” said by Darina Armstrong, chief executive. An increase of 3.5%, £1.38 billion was gross loans and outstanding advances to customers. One of the North’s highest paid execuives with a salary of £185,000 said it was a whole company success and she can not thank the staff enough, saying “We understand that the procedure of applying for a mortgage can appear complex so we have dedicated qualified staff in all our branches to ensure our customers fully understand the mortgage

process.” Michael Boyd, Deputy Chief Executive earns £152,000 has predicted that the Housing Market will perform even better than anticipated, “there are a lot in indices put there and they each had arond 8-10% growth from last year. Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors earlier this year said hey thought prices would rise abou 4%, I think it will be better than that,perhaps about 5%. This sort of sustained growth is really good and it is at a level that we like to see.”

I an Paisley MP has expressed his delight at the news that WrightBus have been shortlisted by the All-Party Parliamentary Corporate Responsibility Group for their National Responsible Business Champion award 2015. The All-Party group invited all 650 MPs to nominate a business from their constituency who they believe deserved recognition for their commitment to their corporate responsibilities and work within their local community. WrightBus were the company selected and from the 650 businesses nominated, a judging panel assembled by the group’s co-chairs Baroness Greengross MBE and Jonathon Djanogly MP, were then tasked with short listing 10 businesses to be put forward for the national award. Mr Paisley commented “I am delighted for WrightBus that they made the shortlist for the national award. Proposing them as my choice for North Antrim was a very simple decision and putting together the nomination could not have been easier, such is the extent to which the company has invested in the local community.”The Co-Chairs of the APCRG, Baroness (Sally) Greengross and Jonathan Djanogly MP, said the Parliamentarians considering the Constituency Responsible Business Champions nominated by MPs had had a difficult job in selecting 10 companies for the short-list. All the companies nominated by their constituency MPs were clearly doing excellent work and had strong support from their MPs. Baroness Greengross said: “We were really impressed by the quality of the nominations we received. It is heartening to learn about the great work that companies are doing across the UK, not just in terms of providing jobs and training,

but in making a really positive difference to their communities and by working hard to reduce their environmental impact. We had nominations from every part of the UK – England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales – and for companies large and small, across a wide range of sectors. WrightBus will be joined in the final ten by the likes of Sony, Fujitsu and London City Airport, the winner to be announced at a Reception in the House of Commons after the General Election. Jonathon Djangogy MP added “In selecting our National Responsible Business Champion our judging panel will be focussing on the impact in each constituency of the companies on our short-list. It is clear from what the nominating MPs have told us that many of these companies are deeply rooted in their communities and play a role in society that goes well beyond providing jobs and training. We will be looking at companies’ social and environmental impact as well as their workplace standards and relationships with suppliers.” WrightBus Ltd were described by the judging panel as being ‘heavily involved in the local community and playing a major role in supporting local schools and charity based initiatives”. They commended its provision of work placements, its Apprentice Training Programme and its commitment to equal opportunities. Mr Paisley concluded “The vision behind the All-Party group is to promote debate and understanding of corporate responsibility in the community, environment, marketplace and workplace. I believe that WrightBus would be a very worthy recipient of the group’s 2015 award and uphold every aspect of the ethos that the group is founded upon.”

PAISLEY DELIGHTED AT WRIGHTBUS AWARD SUCCESS

AWARD SUCCESSGIVE YOUR CAR A CLEAN STARTFOR SUMMER ROAD TRIPS

The summer road trip season is upon us, and it’s not too late to spruce things up inside and out. Aside from helping to maintain your investment, it’ll make the car a happier place for you and your passengers. And it’s also a good excuse for a close inspection that might reveal other needs. Below are a few car care tips drawn from our experience and testing that should steer you in the right direction.

Freshening the interior

Start by cleaning out any trash and removing unneeded items, like that ice scraper. Then organize what’s left, and stow away items in side pockets or compartments. Leaving things loose not only cre-ates clutter, but items left on seats, the rear shelf, or dashboard can become deadly projectiles in a crash. Once everything is tucked away, use a mild cleaning spray and a microfiber cloth to remove dust and grime off the dash and plastic surfaces. Next, use a vacuum to remove debris and dirt from the seats, floor mats, rugs, and boot, clean the inside of windows with glass cleaner, but spray directly onto your cloth to avoid streaking.

Restoring the exterior shine

First, move into the shade. Never wash or wax a car in direct sunlight, or if the paint is hot to the touch. Bright sun can soften the paint and make it more susceptible to scratching. And don’t use dish detergent on your car. Use a dedicated car-wash soap designed for use on automotive paint. Fill a bucket with plenty of water, and apply the suds with a clean natural sponge or a lamb’s-wool mitt.

Remember: Grit from a dirty sponge or rag can scratch the paint. Start from the

top and work your way down, changing the water when it becomes dirty. Use a separate sponge for the tires and wheels. They’re likely the grimiest part of your car, and you don’t want to harm the finish by recycling road grunge. Don’t let the car air dry when done—use a soft, clean towel to dry. Waxing a car can provide a good shine and additional protection for the paint. Car waxes come in three forms: liquid, paste, and spray. Overall, we have found in our tests that paste waxes are easier to use than liquid waxes; liquid waxes cleaned the

best; and spray waxes were easiest to use and left the fewest stains on plastic parts, but they didn’t last as long as other waxes. With any wax you choose, we recommend you first try using it on an inconspicuous area, such as a clean doorjamb. And regardless of how hard you work, how much you spend, or what longevity claims manufacturers make, don’t expect any wax to last all that long. All of the products we tested showed a significant loss of protection within about five weeks. If there are significant scratches in your paint, think twice before trying to repair them yourself using a scratch repair pen. Our tests have shown good results are more difficult to achieve than TV commercials suggest. But, we have found some exterior trim cleaners that can spruce up your plastic trim and brighten your bumpers. As with car wax, routine treatment will be necessary to keep these areas looking sharp all year round.

Lewis Hamilton says his victory in the

Bahrain Grand Prix shows Mercedes is “still the

best”, although he acknowledged that Ferrari

did give them a “real good run for our money”.

Hamilton took another lights-to-flag victory under the lights in Sakhir, replicating what he

did in Australia and China, and while he had a

brake-by-wire system failure on the final lap, he held on to win, beating Kimi Raikkonen by

3.3s.

“Firstly a big thank you to my team

they did an amazing job this weekend,” Ham-

ilton said on the podium. “The Ferraris gave us

a real good run for our money and out there

it was really difficult to look after the tyres in these conditions and behind the backmarkers.

Fortunately I was able to keep the car together

and keep the tyres as healthy as possible and

pull it through.

“But we need to keep pushing as a team, as

we will of course do and just a massive thanks

to everyone and all the people that came out

to support me this

weekend.

“I really appreciate

it.”

Speaking in the

post-race press

conference and

asked if it means

more to win having

beaten Ferrari rather

than winning after

an inter-team fight, the 2008 and 2014

F1 World Champion

replied: “I think

winning is winning, so it doesn’t particularly

matter who it is against – you are trying to beat

everyone out there.

“Naturally it is great to be having a fight with the Ferraris, but today we showed Mercedes is

still the best. We are working as hard as we can

to keep up this momentum that we have, but

they are pushing very, very hard to close up.

“A huge thank you [again] to all the guys at the

factory and also the guys that are here because

the car was really nice to drive this weekend

and I was really able to manage it. Really, really

happy and proud of everyone for all the hard

work they have put in.”

Quizzed on his late brake problem, Hamilton

played down the scare: “I think my brakes

just got a bit warm when I was behind a few

backmarkers,” he explained.

“When you are behind there is no cool air com-

ing in onto the brakes, so they got a bit warm,

but it wasn’t really a problem.”

The result now sees Hamilton extend his lead

in the Drivers’ Championship to 27 points: “I

am gunning for it [three titles],” he

concluded.

Southside In Seven Heaven With Win Against ArdsSouthside travelled to Castlereagh in Belfast on Saturday to play Ards Academy. This was the first encounter of the two teams this season so neither knew what to expect. Ards stunned the visitors in the opening minutes when a defensive communication error gifted the home striker with the opening goal. 0-1. Looking bemused following the goal Southside slowly gathered rhythm and began to threaten the home team goal. Southside powerhouse Jack Livingstone began finding freedom down the left and pinged a perfect 40 yard pass to Dylan Hamill who controlled before playing Corey McDowell in on goal. From the pass Corey made no mistake and levelled on 20 mins. 1-1. It was on the left hand side that Southside were having most success in attack. Corey McDowell tortured the Ards full back on numerous occasion but the finish remained elusive. That was until the half hour mark when Lewis Erwin gained possession in the penalty area and he neatly controlled and glided past two Ards defenders before shooting home across the keeper into the far corner. 2-1. The lead was extended further on 35 minutes when again Dylan Hamill turned provider this time combining neatly with Ross Swan who made no mistake from 15 yards out. 3-1. Ards threatened going forward but the hard work of the Southside midfield engine room namely Richard Wilson and Daniel Hogg smothered out the threat when it reached the danger area. Half Time 3-1The second half saw the long awaited return of Southside goal machine Sam McNiece who has been out with injury for the past 6 weeks. The impact he would have would be almost immediate. Richard Wilson found him with a clever through ball on 50 mins and as expected the score was 4-1. Another introduced at the interval also returning from a serious knee injury following surgery only 7 weeks ago big Gareth Williams would not be denied his share of the applause when he picked out Ryan Stewart with an excellent through ball from which Ryan clinically finished into the far corner of the Ards net making it 5-1. The home side

were helpless as the Southside machine gathered momentum. McNiece watched a bicycle kick effort sail narrowly over before he added his second goal of the game on 70 mins making it 6-1. Ards players frustrations started to show and they had a player dismissed for a dangerously late tackle on 72 mins. Southside remained disciplined as the exchanges intensified. In the dying minutes Ryan Stewart added more misery to the home side when he added his second and the teams seventh with a clever finish from a tight angle on the right. Final Score 7-1.After the opening minutes mayhem had been overcome this was a pleasing sound performance. A convincing win away from home with goals coming from all areas of the team. Players returning from injury with no further players joining the injured list. The quality and depth of the squad has been severely tested over recent weeks and to maintain the challenge with the leading pack at the top of the league is testimony to how strong it really is. Its back on the road again on Monday night 20th when again at Mallusk the opponents are Ards Academy in the SBYL ko 6.30pm.Follow the team at www.southsiderangers.co.uk or on twitter @srfc2009Team : Wylie , Hamill , Wallace , Allen , Erwin , Graham(C) , Hogg , Swan , Livingstone , McDowell , Wilson , Corrigan , Williams , Pogue , McNiece ,R.Stewart.

Southside Rangers v Ards Academy U18s at Henry Jones pitches in Belfast on Saturday 18th April 2015

On Thursday night Southside travelled to Mallusk to play Doyle in another vital league game. Know-ing only a win would be enough to keep the fading hopes of catching unbeaten league leader Bangor skipper Dylan Graham got his team off to a dream start on 3 minutes when he closed down the Doyle centre back high up the pitch robbing him of the ball before driving into the penalty area, rounding the keeper and firing into the net. 1-0. Southside although in front looked edgy and Doyle went close to levelling several times only to be denied by the huge presence of Stuart Wylie in the Southside goal. Goal scorer and inspirational captain Dylan Graham left the field of play with what looked like a hamstring problem on 20 mins adding to the already long casualty list. Dylan Hamill playing the unfamiliar striking role for the team due to injuries eased the pressure on 33 mins when he connected perfectly with a loose ball just on the edge of the Doyle penalty area rifling home low into the bot-tom corner of the net. 2-0. Just before the interval Stuart Wylie saved smartly again as Doyle sent out a reminder that they were still in the game. Half Time 2-0.The second half started with Daniel Hogg and Richard Wilson resuming their relentless battling for the midfield domination. A hand ball inside the Doyle penalty area presented Josh McCready with the opportunity to extend the lead from the spot

which he did calmly slotting the ball to the keepers right low into the net. 3-0. Doyle continued to attack in numbers and pulled a goal back minutes later making it 3-1 following poor marking from a set piece. The little wizard Corey McDowell restored the three goal cushion on the hour mark when he shot home from just inside the box following good work again from Dylan Hamill. 4-1. Doyle refused to give this up and made it 4-2 from a corner with ten minutes remaining. Disaster struck again in the closing stages as the Southside injury crisis worsened when Jordan Kirk and Josh McCready both had to be replaced following strong tackles to protect the lead. Intelligent play in the closing minutes maintaining possession and nullifying the opponents threat ensured the whistle blew with the 4-2 win secured.Not the perfect performance but a win in the first of many midweek fixtures still to be played as we approach the cricical time of the season.Follow the team at www.south-siderangers.co.uk or on twitter @srfc2009Team : Wylie , Kirk , Wallace , Pogue , Erwin , Graham(C) , Hogg , McCready , Corrigan , McDowell , Wilson , Liv-ingstone , Swan , Hamill , McNiece , Allen.

Sky Blues The Place To Be For Youth DevelopmentBallymena United over the last year and

a half have been working extremely

hard in attracting the top local talent

to the club, some of which has maybe

bypassed the showgrounds to go to belfast

clubs, something which should not be

happening. Clifford Adams and John

Clarke have worked hard getting young

Ballymena based players to the club like

Eamon Fyfe who was Cliftonville captain

also Josh Corry from Crusaders who was

part of last year’s milk cup team and

Jordan Sloan and Ben Kerr of Glentoran

and Annagh United. Also the young lads

who got promoted from last years 17s.

Add into that the influx of lads brought in from local boys clubs who have made a big

impact Leon Bonnes,Jonny Logan, Stewart

Nixon, Kyle Beggs and Mathew Shevlin.

All these lads have played reserves and

of course Shevlin has scored and had a

few appearances for the 1st team at 16

years old. Since Glenn has came in he has

been very keen on giving younger players

an opportunity to progress through the

club as in the current climate every team

is trying to produce their own and the

skyblues is no different. The coaches at

youth level have introduced a new training

structure involving under 16/17 as well as

under 19s where they have introduced one

night a weak with top conditioning coach

sam clarke from peak physique to help all

the lads work on their core strength and

physical physique. The difference we have

noticed in the youth team players has

been excellent after 13 weeks where they

physically out muscle most of the teams

they come up against. It is extremely

tough and takes a huge commitment from

the young players as the lads are training

3 times a week to give themselves the best

possible chance of moving up the club.

How many times have we noticed young

lads with immense talent come on in a

game but haven’t the physical stature to

compete, with this training program were

hoping it will have the end result if the

young lads get the chance and they are

technically ready hopefully their physical

strength will be their to back it up. Jake

Mcneill and Jason Johnston are two others

who have had tastes of first team at ages of 17 and 18 and hopefully in the next few

years everyone will see more of them. The

youth team is already preparing for the

next influx of young talent from boys clubs and our 16/17s. Ballymena United is the

only route to irish premier league football

in the town and for those who want to play

at the top league this really is the place to

be. The youth team and reserves have had

a good season in their respective leagues

but league position isn’t important

although it is nice to be doing well, and

what we find is if your doing the right things good results come off the back of

them. But the main priority is developing

the players and finding that next player with the capability of going all the way. It

should be all players aims to play at the

highest level and be the best they can be.

This years players awards presentations

from the BUFC Supporters Clubs will be

held after the last home game of the

season v Dungannon Swifts in the Des

Allen Suite.

It will be a hot buffet priced at £7 per head

and will be ticket only.

We would welcome all supporters to the

awards for the players and thank them for

all their efforts this past season. Supporters

clubs will be presenting various awards

such as player of the year and youth team

player of the year and all present on the

evening will take part in a vote for ‘goal of

the season’.

for the buffet can contact Philip Simpson

on 07734591769.

BALLYMENA United made it five wins in a row and secured 7th place in the league as they defeated visiting Ballinamallard United.Matthew Tipton had a goal ruled out for

an offside offence early in the game, but

just before the half hour mark Neal Gawley

scored from a Mark Surgenor cross.

Eamon McAllister replaced Neal Gawley

at half time and started well with a run

and a shot at goal which went just over

the target. Shortly afterwards Tony Kane

delivered a great ball to David Cushley

who sent a low cross to Darren Boyce who

put it just wide.

Michael Ruddy fired an effort just past the post and Tipton had a header saved

by Mallards keeper Jonny Parr. Youngster

Craig Gardiner then made his first league appearance for the Club, replacing Tipton.

Boyce had a chance after taking the ball

round Parr, but he couldn’t find the net

from the tight angle he was left with. A

Tony Kane free kick was deflected into the past of sub McAllister who was able

to finish and put the Sky Blues two goals ahead.

Cathal Beacom pulled a goal back for the

visitors in the 86th minute, but it wasn’t

enough as the game finished with the home side grabbing all three points.

Next week sees United host Dungannon

Swifts in their final game of the season, kicking off at the earlier time of 2:00pm.
