A Look Back On 1980 In The Parish Anagaire Fife & Drum band brought off the double once agaiq winning both the Easter Sunday and Nary from Dungl~e trophies. Big Anthony has bought himself another artic' truck, this time for delivering the black stuff while wee Anthony O'Donnell, Burnside bought hims~lf a scooter. The Anagaire Festival was a major success and was the launching pad for the spate of Tug-o-War tournaments that followed. To prove the ability ot the Anagaire Ladies T .O.v: • team just take a look at Josie 1 s showroom window. Fr. Des also arrived in time to preform the official opening of the Festival. Fr. Des also tried his hand at fishing during the year~ Duffy's Bar had an overwhelming victory in the Dart's League, while the Athletic Club hed yet another highly successful season. · A rowing club was formed, but ~eing yet only in it's infancy we hope to hear more about it in 1981. The C.B. craze hit the area in a big way but it now seems to have fizzled out (Red fox over an~ outt).

Doire Na Mainsear In the Doire 'pa Mainsear notes of last August "The Rock" named mallaigh Eoghain as a notorious Black Spot, and earlier brought it to the notice ot Donegal Co. Council. During the month of November mallaigh Eoghain saw its most serious accident to date. Luckily, no one was injured but the County Council were prompted to move at long last and it must be said that they made a damn good job. So let's hope that for those who drive Doire na Mainsear will be a safer place. The May notes advised the householders from Loch na nDeoran to Doire na Mainsear to witho1d water rates due to Donegal County Council because of the poor quality water supplY• This idea was taken up, and within months Maire Geoghagan-Quinn promised (or granted) that new pipes will be laid - come next Spring. Ach indiaidh saothar Mhaire is doiche an ahead la a bheidh an t-uisce salach, go dtabhartar - 1 cuid uisce lofa Mhaire Geoghagan' air. Ach sin an saol. Madgie Eoin came home for a fortnight's hol~day's last August and she is still with us. She maintains that she fell in love with the loneliness. Come to think of it she wont now have to come home for her annual Christmas holidays. Ann Marie is so safety-minded that . she travels with an insurance agent. But it doesn 1 t ffwayi work out, Here's hoping that "Guth 7 Tuairim wil continue to be published in 1981.
