BALLYHEIGUE CHEERS FOR POP
SENSATIONS ‘HOMETOWN’
BRENDAN MURRAY
History repeats itself this weekend as Louis Walsh’s
new boyband ‘Hometown’ will make its debut on the
Late Late Show just like ‘Boyzone’ in 1994. Pop icon
Louis Walsh has finalised the line-up for an exciting
new pop group he has handpicked specially to replace
‘Westlife’. ‘Hometown’, with a strong North Kerry
connection, are tipped to follow in the steps of the X
Factor judge’s previous world-dominating groups. The
youngest band member Brendan Murray (17) is the
son of Ballyheigue native Julianne Fitzgerald who has
been living in Tuam, Co. Galway for the past 29 years.
“We are thrilled for Brendan and look forward to the
Late Late Show on Friday night. He is mad into music
and even busked in Galway. He was always singing, he
got that from the Marshalls from Kilmoyley,” said his
uncle, Brendan Fitzgerald from Ballyheigue. The other
would-be pop stars in the band are Dubliners Josh
Grey (17) and Dean Gibbons (20), Cian Morrin (19)
from Castlebar, Dayl Cronin (20) from Clonmel and
Ryan McLoughlin (20) from Newbridge. The six young
stars have already given a private preview of their
new album to bosses from Warner Music, just a week
after performing for music giants Sony in London and
Universal Music.

TRALEE STUDENT HAVE AN ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT……..
AND WILL PITCH THEIR BUSINESS ON ‘DRAGONS DEN’
The RTE Tam ratings will hit an all time high in Tralee this weekend when
students from the Presentation Secondary School, Tralee take part in
‘Dragons Den’. Five students from the school with an entrepreneurial
spirit represented Kerry at the All-Ireland finals of Junior Dragons in
Dublin last February. Out of hundreds of applicants a shortlist of 60
ideas from talented young students aged between 12-18 years attended
the final including students from the Presentation Secondary School in
Tralee. The students, Katie and Claire Dillon (Ballyard), Rebecca O’Neill
(Firies), Lucy Foley (Manor) and Abbie Egan (The Kerries) developed a
business which involves stylish and warm hats. Their company is called
‘B-Nee’ and was initially an enterprise project developed at school. When
the students looked at the hats they decided to add another dimension
to the project by stitching on a Livelife logo which is in aid of the Donal
Walsh Foundation. Last week they presented the charity with €250,
part of the proceeds from sales of the hats. After the event in Dublin 20
students were shortlisted by the panel to go forward to pitch their ideas
to the Dragons and a chance to win a €2,000 bursary, which will support
them in bringing their business to the next stage.
Appearing on the TV show on Sunday night on RTE 1 at 9.30pm will be

Ellen O’Shea,
S.a.o.r psychotherapy and counselling centre
The deepest desire in the heart of any human
being is the desire to feel truly free. The pain and
disappointment inevitably experienced with our
seeming failure to achieve this will show itself in a
variety of symptoms we are now all too familiar with,
ie depression, anxiety, addiction to name but a few
– leaving us feeling frustrated, confused angry or
depressed. Many of us doubt our ability to cope, hide
or deny our pain or find ourselves relying on artificial
support and ultimately lose heart. But this journey
of life is all about heart and using the courage of
your own heart to find your way towards what is true
and allows you full and free expression of yourself,
despite life’s challenges and disappointments.

TRALEE GREEN TEENS SCOOP SENIOR WATER PRIZE AT
ECO-UNESCO’S YOUNG ENVIRONMENTALIST AWARDS
Green teens from Mercy Secondary School
Mounthawk scooped the Senior Water
Category prize at ECO-UNESCO’s 15th
annual Young Environmentalist Showcase
and Awards Ceremony held in the Mansion
House, Dublin at the weekend. The Tralee
group won the category with their project
‘Don’t go with the Flo’ that examined the
negative effects that fluoridating our water
has on human health. Their project was
two fold; the short-term aim was to raise
awareness about the dangers of fluoride;
their long-term aim is to rid Irish water of
fluoride. The group began their awareness
campaign by surveying the public to
assess their knowledge on fluoride. They
gave talks in their local community on the
dangers of fluoride, held public taste tests
on fluoridated and unflouridated water,
handed out information leaflets and held
a bake sale to help raise funds to continue
their project. Their main action plan is to
make a series of videos which will appeal to
the public and highlight the problem. They
also hope to encourage local businesses
to go fluoride free by purchasing reverse
osmosis filters. The group was just one of
the 75 lucky groups who were selected for
the finals from almost 4,000 young people
throughout the Republic and Northern
Ireland. The annual awards programme run
by ECO-UNESCO, Ireland’s environmental
education and youth organisation,

TRALEE COMMUNITY COLLEGE POST LEAVING
CERTIFICATE GRADUATION CEREMONY
“All our dreams can come true, if we have the
courage to pursue them”….. Principal Brian Harkin
told the packed audience at the Tralee Community
College Post Leaving Certificate Graduation
Ceremony on Wednesday night. “Gone are the
days when doing a PLC course was seen as a second
chance at education. PLC courses have become the
first choice option for school leavers and adults and
are now regarded as an essential step before the
journey to third level,” he said. Colm McEvoy, CEO
of Kerry Education and Training Board addressed
the graduates and their guests. He compared his
arrival in Kerry last July from Cavan to embark on a
new role leading the county ETB with the journey
all graduates had commenced last September
with Tralee Community College. “It was a journey
into unknown territory but it had worked out well.
My message for graduates is simple; A message
passed down to me from my father ‘education is
no load’ and I encouraged those who didn’t have
employment lined up to continue their studies
either with Tralee Community College or by
using their PLC course to progress to Institutes of
Technologies or Universities.”
Tralee Community College is to be revamped
during the summer months and next year students
can look forward to a designated college of further
education which will be known from September
as Kerry College of Further Education. There will
be a special building for PLC students. The aim
of the new PLC college is to enhance the student
experience, broaden the range of Level 5 and Level
6 courses on offer and to ensure that all courses are
in line with current industry needs. The support of
employers who gave work experience placements
to the close on 500 graduates was acknowledged
on the night. Graduates received certificates in
areas such as business, administration, computer
studies, journalism and event management, hotel/
catering, childcare, engineering etc. The college is
now accepting applications for next years’ courses

see differences. Some see friends. Let’s all
respect cultural diversity.’
3rd place (€200) - Declan Sugrue, Cahirciveen

for a Culturally Sweeter Kingdom’.
The winning posters will be used in the

community centres, offices, bus/train
stations, buses and supermarkets etc. Both
the winning and shortlisted poster entries

AWARD-WINNING STUDENT HONOURED IN WASHINGTON,
D.C. BY THE PRUDENTIAL SPIRIT OF
COMMUNITY AWARDS
One of Ireland’s top youth volunteers of 2014,
Elysha Ní Chúláin (16), who attends Colaiste
Ide in Dingle was honored this week at a gala
awards ceremony in Washington DC during the
19th annual presentation of the U.S. Prudential
Spirit of Community Awards.
Elysha was presented with a special
commemorative trophy by Prudential Financial
CEO John Strangfeld during the evening event,
which is held each May to present awards to
America’s top two youth volunteers from each
state and the District of Columbia. The honorees
were also personally congratulated for their
outstanding volunteer service by Academy
Award-winning actor Forest Whitaker.
Elysha was named top youth volunteers by
Ireland’s Pramerica Spirit of Community Awards
programme earlier this year. She earned awards
including an all-expense-paid trip to this week’s
special recognition events in Washington, D.C.
Elysha has raised awareness and funds to support
Our Lady’s Hospital for Sick Children in Crumlin
and the Barretstown Camp for kids with serious
illnesses – two organizations that played a crucial
role in her treatment and recovery from childhood

cancer. After being diagnosed with a brain
tumor at age 5, Elysha spent the next 10 years
undergoing treatments at Crumlin, and later
attended the Barretstown camp as a camper.
As part of the Crumlin Heroes Project in 2011,
Elysha spent four months researching and
writing a story about her experience with cancer
– an account the hospital published on its
website and elsewhere. Later, she championed
Crumlin’s national youth fundraiser campaign
through media interviews, school events
and public speaking. She conducted similar
public relations activities for the Barretstown
camp to help raise awareness of its work and
promote its Big Picnic Campaign. At 15 years

TRALEE MOURNS A MUCH LOVED CITIZEN:
Many tributes have been paid to Beatrice Daly
of Castlecountess, whose death occurred on
Wednesday, May 21st, just a couple of months
after she celebrated her 100th birthday.
A lady to her fingertips, Mrs Daly was a sister
of the late Denis (Denna) Fitzgerald, who ran a
very popular shop in Rock Street for many years.
Beatrice would often help out in the shop and
had a great rapport with the regular customers.
Beatrice was the last surviving member of her
family and the last of the original neighbours
in Castlecountess. Beatrice was widowed at
a young age when her husband Paddy, who
was a native of Clonmel died, but she was a
wonderful mother to her four children, her sons
Frank, Denis and Pat and her only daughter
Helen who continues to live in Castlecountess.
Beatrice lived to see her grandson Pa Daly and
her nephew Conor Fitzgerald both become
members of Tralee Town Council and she was
very proud of this. A few short months ago
when Beatrice celebrated her 100th milestone
birthday, she was treated to a gala occasion at
the Meadowlands Hotel, where three different
generations of the family gathered to fete her.
It was a wonderful tribute which was richly
deserved. Beatrice was a lover of horse racing
and enjoyed her daily flutter at the bookies.
She also had a major interest in the fortunes of
Kerry football and the Austin Stacks GAA club
as her brothers Denna and John were leading
lights in the club for many years. Beatrice
Daly is mourned by her sons Frank, Denis and
Pat, daughter Helen, grandchildren, great
grandchildren, nephews, nieces and many
friends.

town plays host to the second annual Kingdom Alliance Sportive.
The CEO of Tralee Chamber Alliance, Kieran Ruttledge, said: “The

has already become a major 3 day event for Tralee. Last year the KAS
brought substantial business to Tralee over the June Bank Holiday

surpass last year’s figure of 320 entries and so far figures are looking
good to exceed this number.”
All stages offer the option of a 50 mile or a 100 mile route. There is also
the option to do 1, 2 or all 3 days as required. This year’s event starts
on Saturday 31st May with Stage One going from Tralee to Killarney.
Stage Two on Sunday heads out west to Dingle and Stage Three will
see the participants explore the North Kerry coastline.
This year’s event has the support of The Kerryman and Independent
Newspapers Fit Magazine, while the first stage also forms part of the
Skoda National Series, bringing much prestige to the event.
Kieran Ruttledge said that Tralee Chamber Alliance members and the
wider community in Tralee were being encouraged to get involved
next weekend by spreading the word to those who may be cycling
enthusiasts or by sharing the details on social media.

SINN FEIN GAIN SEATS IN STUNNING PERFORMANCE IN TRALEE
The stunning performance of Sinn Fein nationally
in the County Council elections was mirrored
in Tralee where the party gained over 4,700 first
preference votes resulting in the party winning
the two seats in the Tralee electoral area.
With nearly 3 quotas, many Sinn Fein supporters
were again questioning why the party did not run
a third candidate in the nine-seat Tralee area.
As was widely expected Toireasa Ferris stormed
home, securing a massive first preference vote of
2,679. She was closely followed by her Tralee Town
based running mate Pa Daly, who put in a very
strong performance for a first time candidate and
secured 2,122 first preference votes. Both easily
topping the poll, and were elected on the first
count with 1,500 surplus votes to spare.
It was an emotional election for first time candidate
Pa Daly, a Solicitor in Rock Street, who was coopted to Tralee Town Council in 2012 following the
resignation of Toireasa Ferris, who on polling day,
buried his grandmother Beatrice Daly. The tallies
showed Fianna Fail’s Norma Foley, Fine Gael’s
Jim Finucane and Labour’s Terry O’Brien all set to
reach the quota and the indications were that a
very close struggle would ensue for the remaining
four seats with five candidates Sam Locke
(Independent), who polled 815 first preferences,
Ted Fitzgerald (Fianna Fail), (946), Graham Spring
(Labour) (899), Tom McEllistrim (1087) and former
Fianna Fail party member Johnnie Wall who stood
as an independent (763) in the mix.
The remaining candidates, Grace O’Donnell
(Fine Gael) who polled a disappointing 657 first
preferences, Tommy Collins (independent) (511)
and Gillian Wharton-Slattery (396) were hoping
to improve their position on transfers but this did
not materialise.
In all, nine counts were completed before an
official result was declared in Tralee on Sunday
evening.
The first count which was declared shortly after
11pm on Saturday night, resulted in the joint
election of Sinn Fein duo Toireasa Ferris and Pa
Daly who both exceeded the quota of 1,599.
One of the election highlights was the spectacular
performance of Independent Sam Locke who
polled 815 first preferences Locke’s election was
due to his hard work on the ground in Tralee
where he is an active Community representative
and his solid work on Tralee Town Council.

Elected Toireasa Ferris S.F. Her total votes were 2,679 and her Surpluses was 1,080.
Pa Daly S.F. His total votes were 2,122 and his Surpluses was 523 .
The second count resulted in the election of
Norma Foley (FF) who secured an impressive 117
surplus votes from Toireasa Ferris. Ms Foley had to
wait until the final count to secure the final seat
in 2009, and her performance this time where she
outpolled party running mate Tom McEllistrim in
Tralee, was very impressive. Foley now has to be
one of the favourites for a Dail nomination for
the party in the next General Election, as gender
balance will be in place and party bosses will note
her performance. Pa Daly’s surplus distribution
did not affect the outcome while the elimination
of Gillian Wharton-Slattery after the fourth count
essentially secured the re-election of party
colleague Terry O’Brien in the 6th count. The
elimination of Grace O’Donnell on the sixth count
helped party colleague Jim Finucane reach the
quota in the seventh count. The elimination of
Fianna Fail’s Ted Fitzgerald who finished with 1056
votes, certainly proved crucial. Fitzgerald’s former
Fianna Fail colleague, Johnnie Wall, needed a
massive transfer to stay in the hunt and overtake
Graham Spring, but it was not to be as Wall only
received 146 compared to Spring’s 176 while Tom
McEllistrim received 247.
At the Election count at the John Mitchels GAA Club Tralee were John Brassil Listowel area
elected and Jim Finucane elected from the Tralee area .
The final count results were Locke (1439),
McCarthy (1564), McEllistrim (1569) Spring (1431)
and Wall (1304). Four of the remaining candidates,
Sam Locke, Pat McCarthy, Tom McEllistrim and
Graham Spring were then deemed elected
without reaching the quota.

ELECTION 2014 POLITICAL REACTION
Ted Fitzgerald (FF).
Fianna
Fail’s
Ted
Fitzgerald was very
philosophical
when
reflecting on his 40
years as a representative
of the people of Tralee.
A highly respected
councillor, Mr Fitzgerald
was a very young 29
years old when he was
first elected to the then Tralee UDC in 1974 and is
a former Chairman/Mayor of Tralee Town Council
and Cathaoirleach of Kerry County Council.
“I was very honoured and privileged to serve
the people of Tralee for 40 years on the Town
Council, and 24 years on the County Council and
serve as Chairman of both bodies as well. I was
disappointed that I wasn’t elected but I have no
regrets in allowing my name go forward. In politics
you may have rivals but you also have strong
friendships and I was fortunate that many of the
Councillors I worked with down through the years
were personal friends of mine. We worked for a
common purpose whether it was for the Town
or the County and I would like to wish the nine
who were elected well for the next few years,” said
Mr Fitzgerald, who was Chairman of Tralee Town
Council on four occasions and Mayor of Kerry from
2008-09, and was Mayor of Kerry from 2006-07.
Toireasa Ferris (Sinn Fein).
“This has been a fantastic election for Sinn Fein.
We have increased our party’s representation
on Kerry County Council from two seats to five.
Our performance comes as no surprise to me.

the most vulnerable in society. People supported
Sinn Fein because we offer an alternative voice to
what’s out there at the moment, and are punishing
Fine Gael and Labour for the mistakes they have
made and the austerity they have imposed. The
electorate still hasn’t forgiven Fianna Fail for their
disastrous handling of the catastrophic economic
collapse when they were in office. Sinn Fein’s vote
has grown substantially in Tralee since 2009 when
we got 21% of the vote. We increased this to 30%
this time and this is due in no small way to the
work of Cathal Foley and Pa Daly at Tralee Town
Council, myself at Kerry County Council level, my
dad Martin Ferris in the Dail and our team on the
ground.” She refused to be drawn on whether or
not she will be a Sinn Fein candidate in the next
General Election. “This is not a Ferris seat, it is a
Sinn Fein seat. There are five solid candidates now
waiting in the wings if and when Martin Ferris
steps down. Of course it would be an honour and
a wonderful opportunity to represent the people
of Kerry in the Dail, I would never rule anything in
or out as the saying goes but that is a long way
off yet.”
Sam Locke (Ind).
Independent candidate Sam Locke put his
election down to his solid work ethic on behalf of
his constituents. “Since I was elected to the Town
Council, I ran a weekday clinic in Der O’Sullivan’s
in Tralee where I made myself available to meet
the public and address their concerns. The queries
I received, and there were many, were passed to
the relevant authorities on their behalf, and the
response to the query was quickly delivered to
the individual concerned. I am honoured and
delighted to be elected to the new authority. There
are a lot of issues that need to be sorted, among
them are housing. We have to tackle the severe
housing crisis and release funds to purchase
a lot of private houses which are currently
unoccupied. Our secondary roads are in a bad
way too following the storms and are in need of
rapid repair. It is important for me that Tralee Town
Centre is looked after and efforts must be made
to create jobs and attract new business to bring
Tralee back to what it once was.”
Johnnie Wall (Ind)
Another big casualty of
the election in Tralee
was
former
Town
Councillor and fivetime Mayor Johnnie
Wall. “I have no regrets
about standing. I was
absolutely gutted not
to get the party (Fianna
Fail) nomination. I was
late into the race and
the fact that I was sick at the start of the campaign
meant a further delay in my canvass, but I am not
using this as an excuse. I had some wonderful
times on the Council. I would like to wish the nine
who were elected well. I have every confidence in
them.”

OUTLOOK ON THE STATE EXAMINATIONS
It’s time to do the exams.
The state exams begin next Wednesday, so
this is the final weekend for major revision.
Stick to your study plan on Saturday and
Sunday while concentrating on subjects
being examined during the first week. As the
exams run into the second and third weeks,
the optional subjects are nicely spaced out
allowing free days for study.
Prioritise last minute work in English, Home
Economics, Engineering, Geography and
Mathematics and get it done by Sunday
night. On Monday, concentrate on the tips
and predictions that have been made for
subjects being examined on Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday. Don’t cram on the days
before the exam as this may cause confusion
and is physically tiring.
Spent an hour or two on Tuesday skimming
over your notes for Wednesday’s exams and
leave it at that. A period of relaxed leisure will
be more beneficial than spending the day
cramming material that you may not recall
anyway. Your most important asset going into
the exam is a clear and alert mind. Remember
that exams test not only your knowledge but
also your staying power.
On the evening before each paper spend an
hour or so looking over your notes so that
the important concepts and ideas are fresh in
your mind. Heavy study sessions on the night
prior to any paper are not a good idea as you
will be exhausted the following morning.
Instead, relax and get a good night’s rest. Put
all thoughts of the following day’s exam out
of your mind. If you find it difficult to sleep
try a little non-academic reading for a short
while.
Over the next few days check your equipment
and assemble your exam materials – biros,
pencils, ruler, eraser, drawing instruments,
calculator and so on. Always have at least two
biros or fountain pens in case one runs out of
ink or doesn’t work properly. It’s time, too, to
organise your personal needs such as a watch
and tissues.
A few nerves are normal on the first day. You
might feel a little tense so be prepared to deal
with it. Perhaps a relaxation exercise or maybe
a shower to freshen up will do the trick. Eat a
nutritious breakfast as you’ll need the extra
reserves of energy. Many students like to say
a quiet prayer or attend Mass on the morning
of each exam. Finally, go through your
equipment checklist before you leave home.
On Wednesday morning arrive at the exam
venue at least a half hour before the exam
begins. For all subsequent exams be present
about fifteen minutes before the appointed
time. Spend the few minutes before entering
the exam venue on your own in peace and
quiet. At all costs, avoid groups which are
involved in last minute revision. If you need
to, use the bathroom before you enter the
exam venue. Be in your seat a few moments
before the exam is due to begin. Synchronise
your watch with the clock on the wall and use
your watch to help you pace your work.
Check your seat and desk for firmness and
stability. A shaky desk will torment you and
distract you during the exam. When the
answer book is distributed, fill in your exam
number and the other required details. Read
the directions on the back cover. This will help
you relax and focus your mind on the task in
hand. When you receive your question paper
read the instructions carefully in case there
is any change of format. Don’t be put off by
your first glance at the paper. It’s new and it
will look unfamiliar at first. Once the exam
begins, keep to your prepared answering plan
and address the questions which are asked.
If you finish a paper before the allotted time
has elapsed, do not leave the exam venue.
Recheck your work and extra information
may come to you. Attempt an extra question
only when you have thoroughly answered
Mr Brosnan and his 6th class of 2014 during their final year at Balloonagh National school Tralee .
26
29.05.14
the previous questions. Once an exam is over,
spend as little time as possible on a postmortem. Focus on the next paper and when
the entire exam is over forget about it and
enjoy your summer. There is no advantage
in dwelling on what might have been. Every
candidate, no matter how brilliant, will feel
that s/he could have done better if only s/he
had done this or that. Be happy and satisfied
that you have done your best.
The very best of good luck to all candidates
who are taking state examinations over the
next few weeks.
Checklist
• Concentrate on subjects being examined in
the first week.
• Complete major revision by Sunday night.
• In a relaxed study session on Monday
concentrate on tips and predictions.
• On Tuesday just skim over your revision
notes for an hour or two

exam venue in peace and quiet.
• Be in your seat a few minutes before the
start of each exam.
• Check that your seat and desk are firm and
steady.
• Read the instructions carefully.
• Know what to expect but be prepared for
the unexpected.
• Use all the time available to you.
• Once an exam is over avoid protracted postmortems.
• Exam timetables are available on www.

GEARING UP FOR THE
RING
OF KERRY CYCLE
(By Cora Carrigg, Kerry Recreation
and Sports Partnership)
WEEK 7 – Week Beginning
May 26th – Nutrition – Fluid
Intake
So we are just beyond reaching the
half way point….another 6 weeks
to go of dedicated training for the
Ring of Kerry Charity Cycle – so keep
focused and enjoy the time!
This week’s focus will be on
nutrition - primarily fluid intake. I
will preface by saying that I am not
a qualified dietician; however I am
willing to share my experiences
and knowledge gained, as a means
of positively assisting your cycling
experience.
Cyclists can cover large mileage over
any given week, with a traditionally
‘long’ ride over the weekend.
Although the energy expenditure
isn’t as high as running; it is important
to ensure that cyclists consume
enough energy through out the day
and over the week to sustain the
volume of training required.
Drink Plenty!! - It is recommended
to drink 500-1000ml of fluid an
hour while riding, which equates
to minimum 1 bike water bottle
per hour. And bear in mind this is
only a rough guide. The amount
consumed will vary depending on
intensity, duration and weather
conditions. The longer, harder the
work out and hotter the conditions,
the more one ought to drink, and
vice versa. So drinking when riding
is very important so as to replace the
water you sweat and breathe out.
For longer training rides and during
the Ring of Kerry cycle event, it is
important to use drinks to help
refuel. By that I mean a drink that
is 5-7% carbohydrate based. This is
known as an isotonic drink. Some
people prefer a hypotonic drink,
which is a drink of less than 5%
carbohydrate concentration. The
bottom line is to drink a drink that
contains the same concentration
of dissolved particles as your body
fluids, so they will be absorbed faster.
Also choose a drink that contains
electrolytes, particularly sodium, as
this will speed up the delivery of the
fluids to your body parts.
It is vital to go for a drink flavour
that you enjoy the taste of, as you
will be more inclined to drink it!
So add an orange of blackcurrant
flavour – your choice. Unless you
have a weak bladder, drink plenty
before you go out on the bike, so
that you start off fully hydrated,
and continue drinking afterwards.
Little and often will aid recovery. If
your training ride is over an hour
make it a carbohydrate drink, and
if under the hour, flavoured water
will suffice. The most important
thing is to remain hydrated, as being
dehydrated compromises recovery.
Also it is very important to refuel
within half an hour to an hour after
cycling so as to replace the nutrients
used up during the ride. Ideally
these drinks would be of a protein
base, so that the body can fast track
the nutrients towards muscle repair.
So as to eat within this recovery
window, make sure you are prepared,
by having a drink on the ready when
you arrive back at base, be it a bottle
to hand in the car, or at the front
door. If you like milk, the flavoured
milk shakes work a treat.
Next week we will be focusing on
food intake, so for now, this week’s
cycle training programme, according
to the Ring of Kerry Charity Cycle
Training programme is below.
Another week’s total of 100km is to
be ridden….you know you can do it,
if not more?!
Remember our aim each week is to
increase the mileage….one thing
for certain is that this mileage will
make the trip around the Ring much
easier on the day. Enjoy your week’s
mileage.
Week 7
Sat, Sun, Mon, Tues, Wed,Thu,Fri
40k, 40k, Rest, 25k,Rest, 25k,Rest.
Total 130km.
Happy & Safe Cycling!
HAVE YOU FELT IT?
There’s a change in the air! Have you felt it?
No, it’s not that the days are warmer and the
evenings longer – although that’s lovely! It’s
something much greater and more profound
than this. It’s a change in attitude, perspective
and what it means to live your happiest life! I’ve noticed it within
myself, the people I meet, the conversations I have and the energy I
feel! There’s a sense of “waking up” – a feeling of people yearning to
really LIVE their lives! It starts with a niggle of discontentment and
an inner knowing that there must be something more. Sometimes
it takes, months or even years to make sense of those inner feelings
but once you experience them - the quest is on! Suddenly life is
not just about going to work, repeating the same old routine every
day – having the same old conversations and dealing with the same
old people. Suddenly there’s a hunger for passion and purpose
and an urge to be the YOU, you’ve always felt inside but never fully
expressed. If you have felt the stirrings of your soul and the whispers
of your heart then I think you will LOVE my next LIFE LOUNGE on
Wednesday June 25th! My special guest is Angela Kerry who will be
talking about Angels, crystals, becoming an author and being the
change you most want to be!
Join Angela and myself on Wednesday 25th June at the Meadowlands
Hotel (7.30-9.30pm). Reserve your place NOW by calling 066 9766374
or emailing me at [email protected].
Entry is €15.00 – payable on the night! (Refreshments included!).

How to tackle
that nasty
Cellulite
Ok, let’s get this straight. ALL grown
women have cellulite and that is fact.
Diet, lack of exercise and not drinking
enough water amongst other things,
all contribute to the orange peel effect.
Thankfully Clarins have a product that
not only reverses the
existing cellulite but it also stops it
forming. How clever is that!! Now
known as the body contouring
specialist, Clarins was the brand who
wrote the rules. Did you know
that Clarins founder, Jacques CourtinClarins was the one who coined the
expression ‘sponginess’ (‘capiton’
in French) to describe the skin’s
appearance where areas of cellulite
had settled in? More importantly, he
was the first one to point
out the relationship between body
contouring and firm skin having
understood that when you focus on
firming up the skin, the appearance of
‘sponginess’ diminishes.
This led to the development of the first
body contouring gel (Aminsvit- literally
‘slim quickly’) in 1956. Since then a
long line of body contouring products
have sprung to life based on the latest
scientific advances. The most recent
one Body Lift Cellulite Control 2013.
A Major Scientific Breakthrough, Body
Lift Cellulite Control is the
first slimming treatment that prevents
and corrects the appearance of cellulite
at every level—visibly smoothing
hips, buttocks and thighs for a slim,
beach-chic shape. How
fantastic is that, pop in

Hi everyone!
NYX is the newest, hottest brand to reach our shelves and I have to say it’s uhh-mazing!! These
are my top favourites:
NYX Wonder Pencil: This is the handiest pencil you will ever have in your make up kit.
1. Firstly you can use it to conceal blemishes. Just dot it onto the spot and blend to hide any
redness. 2. Secondly you can use it as an eyeliner to give the appearance of wide awake and
bigger eyes. Apply it on the inside rim of the lower lash line for a big doll-eye effect.
3. Finally, you can also use it along the underneath of the eyebrow to highlight the eyebrow
bone as well as hide some stray hairs.
NYX Born To Glow Illuminator:
This is the best for brightening the appearance of dull tired skin. It has light-reflecting
particles that when applied, give the illusion of smoother, clearer skin.
Apply a pea-sized amount onto the face and blend softly. Follow with a foundation.
Otherwise mix a little with your foundation to give a more dewy glow to skin.
NYX Matte Lipsticks:
These are fantastic! They glide on and stay on all day long. The shades are all
amazing and rich in pigment. The effect on the lips is perfection! Don’t forget
to get the matching lip liner too!
How to Choose make up
for Darker Skin tones
Choosing make up for darker skin tones can be difficult. The range of colours and quality
is just not enough and few will find their perfect shade. I have found some items of
make-up to create a flawless base for darker skin tones that I would like to share with
you. Visionnaire foundation by Lancôme has a large range of colours with a beautiful
finish once applied. It also has a built in concealer to hide any pigmentation, which can
be a problem in darker skin tones and it retails at €45.50. If you are happy with your
foundation but in the market for a good concealer, then Benefit has 2 to offer. Their Fake
Up concealer brightens up under the eyes and the Boi-ing concealer hides blemishes,
both are reasonably
priced at €25 approx.
To set your make up,
look no further than
Estee Lauders Invisible
powder, €36.50 for that
extra hold, and add
a pop of pink to your
cheeks with Chanels
Joues Contraste
blusher
€38.00.

mental health wellbeing, they would seek it from
a family member.
· 20% said they would seek advice from a friend.
· 19% said they would seek advice online.
· 5% said they would ring a helpline.
· 5% felt they would visit their GP.

road safety training for
scoil mhic Easmainn
The pupils and teachers of Gaelscoil
Mhic Easmainn recently enjoyed an
action packed fun filled week while
enhancing their knowledge of the
rules of the road in a new initiative
set up by the Road Safety Authority
which aims to bring issues of Road
Safety to life for primary school
children
Halla na Gaelscoile was transformed
into a typical street scene where the
pupils took on different roles such as
pedestrians, cyclists and motorists
observing sign posts and traffic
lights while learning from their own
Streescape experiences and those
of their classmates. All pupils were
quickly discussing issues of Road
Safety and safe pedestrian behaviour.
As part of the programme all pupils
received a personalised safety
licence-ceadúnas

programme.
“We would highly recommend
this excellent programme and its
facilitators Brian agus Rachel. ’Street
Smart Kids’ opened the eyes of all our
pupils in a fun, practical way to the
importance of the rules of the road”
said Príomhoide Cáit Ui Chonchuir.
The Gaelscoil were delighted to share
the Streetscape with visits from the
local Listellick school whose pupils
and teachers were equally impressed
with this very worthwhile project.

A FEW OLD SAYINGS THAT ARE STILL
RELEVANT ACCORDING TO THE “EXPERTS”:
*“Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy,
wealthy and wise” - Morning people are more
proactive and happier. On the other hand, night
owls are smarter. And male night owls do better
with the ladies.
*“When you smile the whole world smiles with
you” - Smiling makes others more likely to
smile.
*“Money can’t buy happiness” - As a general rule,
money does not increase happiness much after
our basic needs are met. However, money can
increase happiness if we spend it the right way
and especially if we spend it on other people.
*“Sleep on it” - Yes, sleeping on it improves
decision-making.
*“Think positive” - Only works for some people.
*“Women talk on the phone more than men” Women make fewer phone calls but their calls
last longer.
*“Flattery will get you nowhere” - Wrong.
*“Cleanliness is next to godliness” - When your
desk is messy it’s harder to focus.
*“Pricing something at €1.99 instead of €2
doesn’t fool anyone” - Yes, it does.
*“Clothes make the man/Dress for success” Definitely.
TRADITIONS CAN BE GOOD OR VERY BAD:
Every culture has traditions to honour the
contributions women make as mothers,
daughters, leaders, friends, and citizens.
Unfortunately, far too many cultures also
enforce traditions that marginalize, oppress and
even terrorize their female populations: female
genital mutilation (FGM), child marriage, sex
trafficking, and more.
Jaha was born in western Africa’s The Gambia
and was not even a week old when she
underwent FGM.
No one told Jaha the reason she had been
mutilated was to guarantee her virginity before
marriage. She learned this in a Manhattan
doctor’s office at age 15 when she was forced
into a marriage to a 45-year-old man. Jaha then
had to go through a re-opening process, which
felt like undergoing FGM again.
This is the story of hundreds of thousands of girls:
denied autonomy over their bodies, their own
health, who they love and whether and when
to have children. It’s a story that takes place all
around the world and not just in remote villages
but in pricey doctor’s offices in cities and towns.
We must not ignore stories like this, but we must
also understand that these stories don’t have to
end in violence and fear. In fact, Jaha’s story has
only just begun. She has rejected the secrecy
often demanded by the families and cultures
of FGM survivors. Recently, she’s launched a
petition—with thousands of signatures and
counting—asking the United States Congress to
face the fact that FGM happens there and finally
gather the data on just how many girls are at
risk.
Jaha fled her forced marriage. She refused
to believe the lie that women who reject
misogynistic violence are somehow unclean, or
undignified, or unworthy of love and success in
their lives. She was brave enough to later marry
a partner she chose for herself. And despite the
Margaret’s Ramblings
damage inflicted upon her body, Jaha found the
courage to have children of her own, at the time
of her choosing.
Jaha has dedicated her life to making sure the
story of such cruelty ends now, and that when
we look at girls of every colour we will see the
strong, safe, powerful women they deserve to
become.

and minimizing your contribution to the local

potential for turning trash into treasure in every

Look at what you have. The idea of “shopping

forward-thinking fashionistas on a budget,
who look critically at their existing wardrobe

the same concept

possessions.

example, if you love
a certain tablecloth
for its unusual
colour — but it’s
worn or stained in
an obvious place —
you can cut it up to
make a dresser scarf.
Consider what you need. Working the other way
around, think about what you lack. Then open
your mind to ideas about what could serve that
function. Looking for a doorstop? Try a used
thread spool.
Think outside the box
Repurposers tend to be generous souls. Use
the wealth of inspiration out there for your
own repurposing projects. Browse frugal-living
websites to see what active upcyclers are doing
and how they’re doing it. Then put your own
spin on the process.
When in doubt, keep it simple. Got hold of an
old mailbox that you’re not sure what to do
with? Remember the old design principle, “form
follows function.”Your find is the perfect size and
shape for use as a kitchen utensil holder.
See the upside of flaws or damage. Go extreme.
You won’t want to use that 70s style TV in its
present incarnation, so why not gut it and use
the console as a luxury condo for your favourite
pet?

U-16s: Congratulations to our U-16 team and mentors that defeated
Austin Stacks in the Central League Division 3 Final last Monday night
(19th May) on a scoreline of 2-10 to 0-09. On what was a wet night, the
Churchill lads handled the conditions better and put in a great team
performance. Driven on by centre back and captain Sean Mortimer,
Churchill had the beating of their opponents in all areas of the field.
The forwards were able to keep the scoreboard ticking over throughout
the match, while the defence were a match for the Stacks forwards,
restricting them to very few goal-scoring opportunities. Well done to all
involved.

Fenit Samphires:
Fenit Samphires 2 – Park 5: Our 16s run in the Tucker Kelly Cup finally
ended at the hands of national cup finalists St Brendan’s Park in blustery
conditions last Thursday evening in Fenit. The strong crosswind made it
difficult to get the ball down and play but both teams did very well to
serve up an entertaining game. We had as expected less of the ball than
our opponents but we were compact in defence and kept them at arms
length from our goals for a lot of the game. Indeed we were one up at
half time after a defensive lapse by the Park let Oisin O’Brien in and he
made no mistake. In the second half the bigger Park team got more to
grips with the elements and as the half wore on we tired a little but that
was enough and they forced two goals after 15 minutes. We got more
into it then but we just couldn’t get past a solid defence. They scored
a third goal after 25 minutes after some untypical defending by us on
our endline. They quickly added a fourth on the counter as we pushed
on but eventually we got our reward after Thomas Lenihan and Bobby
O’Regan combined to play a beautifully weighted pass just beyond their
defence. Christopher Murphy despite having cramp was on to it like
quicksilver and dinked it over the advancing keeper and tapped it in to
the empty net. We conceded another in the last minute needlessly but
it is hard to apportion blame as everybody had given everything they
had for the cause. Well done to all our team for their brave performance
against a good team who no doubt will be favourites to win the cup.

Castleisland 3-2 Park Fc ,
Unfortunately our attempt to make it four league
finals in a row failed today in Castleisland in our last
league game of the season . After a slow start to
the game we slowly started to get more and more
into the match . A great flowing move involving
Sean Foley , Adam o Rourke , Antony Murphy and
David Courtney saw Fergal Maunsel give us the
lead . This was held until half time thanks to some
great goalkeeping by Fionn Coakley . The second
half saw Castleisland throw everything at us and
got level ten minutes into the second half . Two
wonder strikes saw then extend their lead mid
way through the second half . Castleisland have
their keeper to thank for keeping their lead as he
produce a number of great saves . Mark o Sullivan
pulled a goal back late on but it just wasn’t to be .

Dominick Lynch Reaches Senior AllIreland Decider
Dominick Lynch (Glenbeigh) broke a long
barren spell for Kerry Handball at Broadford, Co
Limerick on Friday night last. Lynch became the
first player from the county since 1973 to reach
an All-Ireland Senior Singles final when he
overcame the challenge of Vinny Moran (Mayo)
in the All-Ireland Senior Hardball Singles semifinal.
In an exciting encounter Moran took the first
game 21-18 before Dominick recomposed
himself to take the second with an emphatic
21-5 win to force a deciding game. Lynch and
Moran gave it their all in an attempt to reach
the decider with Lynch edging out a 21-14
victor.
Eoin Kennedy (Dublin) provides the opposition
in the decider which takes place at Cashel, Co.
Tipperary on Friday night at 7.30pm. Dominick
will be bidding to become the first Kerry player
to win an All-Ireland Senior Singles title since
Paddy Downey in 1962.

Fenit Samphires 2 – Park 5: Our 16s
Our run in the Tucker Kelly Cup finally
ended at the hands of national cup finalists
St Brendan’s Park in blustery conditions
last Thursday evening in Fenit. The strong
crosswind made it difficult to get the ball
down and play but both teams did very well
to serve up an entertaining game. We had as
expected less of the ball than our opponents
but we were compact in defence and kept
them at arms length from our goals for a lot of
the game. Indeed we were one up at half time
after a defensive lapse by the Park let Oisin
O’Brien in and he made no mistake. In the
second half the bigger Park team got more to
grips with the elements and as the half wore
on we tired a little but that was enough and
they forced two goals after 15 minutes. We got
more into it then but we just couldn’t get past
a solid defence. They scored a third goal after
25 minutes after some untypical defending
by us on our endline. They quickly added a
fourth on the counter as we pushed on but
eventually we got our reward after Thomas
Lenihan and Bobby O’Regan combined to
play a beautifully weighted pass just beyond
their defence. Christopher Murphy despite
having cramp was on to it like quicksilver
and dinked it over the advancing keeper and
tapped it in to the empty net. We conceded
another in the last minute needlessly but
it is hard to apportion blame as everybody
had given everything they had for the cause.
Well done to all our team for their brave
performance against a good team who no
doubt will be favourites to win the cup. Dara
O Connor,Christopher Murphy,Sean Higgins,
Bobby O Regan,Jack MacCarthy,Thomas
Lenihan,David Lenihan,Brian O’Regan,

RSA & AN GARDA SÍOCHÁNA APPEAL FOR PUBLIC SUPPORT FOR
BANK HOLIDAY NATIONAL “SLOW DOWN” DAY 30TH– 31ST MAY
The Road Safety Authority (RSA) and An Garda
Síochána have appealed to drivers, today Tuesday
27th May, ahead of the June Bank Holiday
weekend to reduce their speed by taking part in
a national ‘Slow Down” day , which will take place
for a 24 hour period, from 7am on Friday 30th –
7am Saturday 31st May 2014.
The call comes as figures show that the June Bank
Holiday has consistently been the most dangerous
weekend over the past two years. Five people lost
their lives and five were seriously injured over the
June Bank Holiday in 2013. Six lost their lives and
11 were seriously injured in 2012.
Speaking at the launch of the joint campaign, Ms.
Moyagh Murdock, Chief Executive, Road Safety
Authority said: “We really want the public to take
extra care when using the roads this weekend.
The June Bank Holiday has been particularly bad
over the last two years. But we are also heading
into this weekend on the back of a really bad May
Bank Holiday when we lost 5 lives on the roads. Of
great concern too is the fact that, nationally, we
seem to be heading in the same direction as last
year. 71 lives have been lost compared to 73 to the
same date last year, and last year was our worst in
seven years.”
“It really is so important to realise that staying
safe on the roads is a continuous effort. We simply
cannot afford to let our guard down. The roads are
going to be very busy this weekend, there are local
festivals, sporting events and people travelling
the length and breadth of the country for a break.
The roads will be busy with people out walking
and cycling. There are more tourists using the
roads and they there will be a big increase in the
number of agricultural vehicles out and about as
farmers begin the first cut of silage this weekend. So I would appeal to everyone to do what you can
to stay safe this weekend. In particular I would
appeal to drivers to slow down, and support
national ‘Slow Down” day by reducing your speed.
Small margins can have a big difference. If a
pedestrian or cyclist is hit at 60km/h they stand
little chance of survival. If hit at 50km/h they have
a 50/50 chance of living.”
Assistant Commissioner John Twomey, Garda
National Traffic Bureau, speaking at the launch in
Garda HQ today said: “Excessive or inappropriate
speed remains a significant contributory factor
in road traffic collisions. Unfortunately, many
drivers believe they are immune to the laws of
physics as over 80,000 fixed charged notices
have already been issued for speeding so far this
year, an increase of over 20% compared to 2013
figures. Of greater concern,
9 out of 10 detections were
made in situations where the
driver was travelling 10km/h
or more above the posted
speed limit. 1 in 10 of those
drivers detected were for
speeds in excess of 30 km/h above the limit. This is
particularly worryingly for pedestrians and cyclists
in 50km/h zones, which were the worst locations
for speeding offences.”
TYRESTOP TIPS.... The correct oil!
Nowadays, car servicing mileage is much more
than many years ago. Previously you would have to
change oil every 3000 miles and now some service
intervals are 15,000 miles. The main reason for this is
the advancement in the quality of oil.
How important is the correct oil?
The correct oil is critical to the life of your engine.
For example if you take the example of 5w 40 fully
synthetic oil and if someone does a cheap service
and uses 10w 30 oil which is not suitable, the engine
will be damaged and the customer may not be aware
of this. The result is not immediately obvious, but the
damage to the engine will happen over a period of
time. The real danger is that the oil will not do its job
and the real damage is done when the oil has lost its
ability after a few thousand miles and the damage
58
29.05.14
starts.
What type of damage is done to your car
with incorrect oil?
Literally the engine of the car can cease. All the
components can be damaged and the incorrect oil
can build a scum or ash and thus the oil will clog us
and not flow correctly to moving parts.
How do you insure your get the correct
oil?
You can go to a trusted dealer or you can buy the
correct oil at your local motor factors and bring to
Tyrestop and we will service your car. Tyrestop offers
the service that the customer can purchase their own
parts and we only charge a lobour charge to carry out
the work. This also creates a transparency of charges.

Safety on the road
Cycle tracks and parking
Do not park or drive on cycle tracks.
Before you open the door of a
parked vehicle, use your mirrors to
check for cyclists and motorcyclists
coming up on your right and give
them enough room to pass.
Animal traffic
Always slow down and be prepared
to stop when approaching or
overtaking animals. If a person in
charge of animals gives a signal to
slow down or stop, you must obey
it. Avoid using your horn if animals
are in front of you, as it might
frighten them.
If
you
are
travelling
on
a road where
animals
are
common, you will see a warning
sign like the one below.
Cattle and farm Deer or wild
animals animals.
