Dear Editor Further to our conversation I want to thank the people of Kenmare and surrounding districts for the brilliant support that they have given to me in my efforts to raise funds for the Kerry Life Education Children’s Charity over the years. Kerry Life Education visits primary schools in all communities with their Mobile Classroom and Harold the Giraffe, helping young people to make informed healthy choices around a range of issues including personal health, hygiene, diet, exercise and lifestyle, self awareness and self esteem, peer dynamics and bullying and substance and alcohol misuse. They also provide an interlinking follow on service to second level schools to help young people deal with the many challenges that face them as they grow older In the five years that I have made my annual collection on their behalf, I have collected a total of 16,500 for this excellent service and this huge amount reflects the amazing support and generosity of local people. So a big thank you to you all, at the age of 80 I can now retire knowing that together we have made a real contribution towards the future of our young people.

Tests for allergies are sometimes carried out, but food intolerance, which is less easy to diagnose, is frequently overlooked. Intolerances to foods are very common with up to 45 % of the population suffering. Food intolerance is associated with many different chronic symptoms including headaches, intestinal and skin symptoms. You will know if you suffer from a full-blown allergy to a food, strong immediate reactions to foods such as nuts and shellfish are typical of classical allergy reactions. However, other effects of food sensitivity are more subtle and less well understood. Currently the best accepted method for confirming food sensitivities is by elimination diet. This involves eating a restricted diet for several weeks. If there is no improvement during this time, it is assumed that the food type that has been restricted is not causing the symptoms, and the process is repeated with another food type. This method is very time consuming and because it is impossible to test all the different combinations of food types that may be causing the problems, it is a very ineffective process. Every individual person is unique with a different biochemical make-up, even to others with similar conditions. For example, cow’s milk, nuts and yeast may be responsible for Aoife’s eczema, but safe for Katie, who also has eczema. Eggs, strawberries and lentils may contribute to John’s irritable bowel, but they will be fine for Patrick to eat, even though he regularly suffers from bloating and diarrhoea. One approach that is available is a blood test that measures food-specific IgG –antibodies. Antibodies are substances produced naturally by the body to identify and neutralise foreign objects such as bacteria and viruses. Antibodies to foods are found in the body when the immune system has identified a particular food type as being foreign. Antibodies are also known as Immunoglobulins (abbreviated Ig) and one type of antibody is the IgG antibody. Measurements of IgG antibodies to foods in blood show that the body is “fighting” that particular food. It has been shown that removal of foods from the diet that the body is reacting to in this way can reduce ill health symptoms. If you require more information about food intolerance testing or would like to make an appointment please ring 064-6679880 or call into McSweeney Pharmacy Kenmare and we will be more than happy to answer any query you may have.

Kerry families begin to feel the pain of Budget cuts Families across Co Kerry will soon begin to feel the pain of a range of cutbacks and new taxes in Budget 2013 and it is lower and middle income families, and particularly those with young children, who will bear the brunt of the cuts as they begin to take effect from this month. The reality of a budget that was riddled with broken promises and deeply unfair cuts will hit home in households across Co Kerry in the coming weeks and the bottom line is that the package of measures in Budget 2013 amounted to an attack on lower and middle income families who are already struggling to keep their heads above water.

With John O’Hare I loved night fly fishing on the Lower Roughty River, my quarry was the elusive sea trout. There is something both surreal and mystical about casting a fly into the darkness and retrieving slowly and cautiously, then the explosion of sound in the still night as you hook into a fish unseen but by his power a good one of maybe two pounds weight, the battle, too much pressure and you will lose him as their mouths are soft when they come into the river first. Eventually landing a beautiful fish, a successful outcome to a nights fishing. One particular night I had just started fishing, when on the far bank I noticed a group of people. They were impossible to recognise as firstly it was dark, secondly they wore beanie caps pulled down, and lastly the collars of their coats were up. They proceeded to unfold a big net and put it into the river. This was too much for me, I had been looking forward to a nice peaceful night fishing. ‘Stop,’ I shouted, “I do not know who you are but you surely know me. Please do not blatantly poach the river in front of me. If you want to do it atall go where I cannot see you.’ This had the desired effect, they pulled the net back in and then sat on the bank smoking and obviously discussing their next move. A light mist started to fall, that meant the fishing by me would be useless anyway. I crept into the bushes and took down my rod and tackle, then I quietly slipped away in the gloom and went home. Fast forward twelve months, a local comes into the shop to buy a pair of thigh waders for fishing. I had his correct size and they were the type he wanted. Just one small problem, he was short of cash to pay for them, €10 to be exact. ‘I will take them,’ he said, ‘And give you the balance in a couple Bath and Crafts, 2 Rock Street, have a really sweet smelling charitable idea! They are inviting the young people of Kenmare and surrounding areas (aged between 5 and 11) to help them to design a handmade soap. The scent and the label of the soap should be reminiscent of Kenmare, and the wining soap which will be called ‘Kenmare Soap’ will be sold in the shop. The money raised (after costs for ingredients has been taken out) from the sale of the soap will go to the new Kenmare Family Center run by Joy Clifford. Entry forms are available shop Bath and Crafts, 2 Rock Street or from local schools. Closing date for entries is February 27th. It is hoped that the soap will go on sale by March 15th, or to coincide with the opening of the new family centre. of weeks. You know I am as good as my word, do you remember asking my friends and I to pull our net out of the water last year when we were fishing and we did.’ ‘Yes,’ I said, ‘I remember it well, how could I forget.’ ‘There you go then,’ he said, picking up his waders and out the door with him. I would love to tell you that he came good and paid up, but that would be asking you to go a step too far in trusting people. As I mention every year the salmon fishing season opens on different dates all over the country. The first Spring salmon on January 1st this year were caught on the Drowse River in County Donegal. Two lovely salmon, one of ten pounds and one of six pounds, both by anglers from Northern Ireland. The first one was on a red flying C. and the second on a yellow one. Killarney Lakes and Waterville Lakes opened on January 17th so we will have to wait a bit for a report on them. The fishing in the Kenmare area does NOT open until March 15th. There is a perfectly good reason for the closed season in fishing. It allows the fish to spawn, also if you kept on hammering the fish the whole year through there would be none left to catch in the finish, common sense would tell you that. A fellow came into me during Christmas week. ‘I was up in Caha Lakes for a spot of fishing,’ he said. I looked at him, ‘During the Summer was it?’ ‘No, last week,’ he replied. ‘And did you catch anything?’ I asked ‘Four fish on the fly, ‘ he replied. I told him that if he was caught he could have got a hefty fine and had his gear confiscated to which he replied, ‘Boloney, I was doing no harm I just wanted to see if I could catch trout up there in the Winter time. I am leaving the country for a while looking for work and I wanted to carry a memory of the mountain lakes and fishing with me.’ Can you imagine how dangerous it is climbing up and down Caha Mountains in the middle of Winter? On one hand I condemn fishing out of season, yet on the other hand he has my complete sympathy. It is a dilemma, with no straight answer.

I understand it has been affected by Budget 2013. Can you tell me what the changes are? Yes, the Household Benefits Package has been changed in Budget 2013. The value of the Electricity/Gas Allowance and the Telephone Allowance will be reduced for new and existing recipients from January 2013. The Electricity Allowance is being adjusted from a unit-based allowance to a fixed amount of 35 per month. The Gas Allowance was previously paid at different winter and summer rates. From January 2013 it will be paid at a new standard monthly rate of 35. These allowances can be paid either as a credit on your bill or as a cash allowance, depending on your supplier and your payment method. This change does not affect your choice of supplier and you can choose the supplier who can best meet your energy needs. There are various commercial websites that allow you to compare energy prices. The Commission for Energy Regulation (CER) accredits cost comparison websites if they meet certain standards. You can check accredited websites on energycustomers.ie. The Telephone Allowance is a payment towards your mobile phone or your landline phone bill. The value of this allowance will be reduced from 22.58 to a new monthly rate of 9.50.

This is extremely rare as normally kittens are born around June and we have normally homed all the smallies by around October-lst year the kittens did not stop.

We will never eliviate the the problem of unwanted litters if we dont continually spay and neuter. If there are wild cats in your area, please help us to get them done too as 2 cats can very soon lead to 50 cat. It is everyones problem and easily fixed if we all play our part! If you can give a cat or kitten a loving home as a family pet (the cat must be allowed into the family home) and if you dont live directly on a main busy road, then please give us a call.

Christmas Lights, a choir or two, 50 plus children dressed as elves, stars, boxes, nativity characters, Santa and Mrs Claus and a reasonably dry night to kick off a wonderful Christmas Festival. Nollaig Neidin 2012 began with a magical evening of music we were so lucky to have the choirs that were participating in The Choral Festival join us in the parade which was bigger and better than ever this year. What a great crowd turned out to watch the parade which makes it so special for those taking part and especially all the children. Huge thanks to the many people who participated and helped both with the parade and the concert afterwards. For one night The Courthouse was transformed into a stage and what a beautiful backdrop the building proved to be. The choirs, the children and of course Vida Randles welcomed The Christmas Spirit to Kenmare with their beautiful Hymns and carols. Tasty treats, mulled wine and hot chocolate were once again donated from so many of the local business’s and it really the night to have this available to everyone following the parade. Thank you to those who organised one of the many events that ran throughout Nollaig Neidin from storytelling and yoga to Christmas Food & Wine Fairs, treasure hunts and organised walks ensuring that there was something for everyone. The Nutcracker Suite which was a great success and huge thanks to Bibbity Bobbity Boo and Mrs Claus for their time and effort. There are still some stockings to be collected and they can be picked up in O’Donoghue’s Henry Street until 4th February.

For the Kenmare Eastern Relief Road, it is a major allocation especially in Minister for Transport, Tourism & Sport light of the fact that the Leo Varadkar TD pictured with Cllr National Roads Patrick Connor Scarteen Programme has been reduced by over €300 Million for 2013. In the previous 3 years the Eastern Relief road received annual allocations of between €200,000-€300,000. Allocations for roads under different grant headings are to be announced shortly. €800,00 has also been allocated for Bonane Road. Meeting with Minister for Transport, Tourism & Sport I met with Minister Varadkar TD a few weeks ago at his office in Government Buildings and discussed a variety of issues with him including the need for improvements to roads such the N71Bonane and N70 Sneem Village, changes needed to national roads policy including the issue of the National Roads Authority appealing planning permissions granted by local Authorities to An Board Pleanala. The need for the reintroduction of the Local Improvement Scheme, a statement on this is to be announced. The new testing system for road improvements etc I also discussed a number of Tourism and Sport related initiatives with the Minister. Extra Places on Community Employment Scheme I welcome the news that 2000 additional places are to be made available on the Community Employment Programme. An allocation of 500 additional places will be reserved for childcare support and 500 for social and health related services. Also priority will be given to schemes and organisations who can demonstrate a track record in the development and progression of participants into employment. This is part of the Department of Social Protections €1 Billion programme on activation projects and other supports this year to help job seekers acquire the work experience, skills and qualifications they need to return to full time employment. The community employment scheme does some fantastic work in our community. Water Services There has been big investment in public water schemes in Kerry in 2012 and this will be continued in 2013. The Water Services Department of KCC has carried out considerable work in our locality, no where else in Kerry has there been as much work done. Tuosist and Dawros have been taken over by the Council, Rossdohan, Tahilla is progressing well however there are delays with the land registry issues, in relation to Bonane the scheme is Kenmare News being taken over by Kerry County Council at the request of the Community, the Council has applied to the Department of Environment for Funding for the scheme. In Caher East, Kilgarvan work was also carried out in 2012. Regarding the water supply for Kilgarvan the work on the pipe from Coomclogherane to Kilgarvan is progressing well and should be completed in March. Improvement works on the treatment Plant in Kilgarvan are also taking place. The Water Services Department have to be thanked for their work done to date on these works, also the people involved in the Group schemes in the different localities have done fantastic work for their communities throughout the years. Monthly motions The following are my two permitted monthly motions; That Kerry County Council commence without delay the process of regulation of the Casual trading situation in Kenmare in the interests of businesses and traders. The casual trading situation is an attractive feature for the town but regulation is needed. That Kerry County Council does it’s utmost to curb illegal dumping and littering in 2013, in the interests of the people of Kerry, the local environment and to create a positive image of the County to tourists whom there should be extra numbers visiting the County this year due to the Gathering. Community Alert- personal alarms I am glad that the proposal to cut the grant for the personal alarms has been reversed. The national grant for personal alarms will remain at €2.25 Million. These alarms are of great assistance to our older persons, they provide peace of mind and security. Community Alert Organisations in our area provide great assistance to older persons. Local Election Boundary Committee As part of Local Government Reform, radical changes are been implemented including the abolition of all town Councils so in Kerry Listowel, Tralee and Killarney town Councils will no longer exist after 2014. Kerry County Development Board is also to be abolished. At County Council level currently there are 5 electoral districts in Kerry this is to be reduced to 4, boundary changes will therefore have to be made, I have made a submission that regardless of what changes are made that Kenmare and its surrounding districts including the Sneem and Kilgarvan Areas remain in the same electoral area. Area meeting The next area meeting of the Killorglin Electoral Area will take place on Friday 22 February; if anyone has any issues they wish for me to raise feel free to contact me.

Kenmare Chronicle...Placenames Project One of the projects that the Kenmare Chronicle wants to carry out is the recording of place names in the Kenmare area. Old names of houses, streets, roads and fields will be recorded together in an archive, all we need is the information to start rolling in! This would be a great project for the local National Schools to carry out or Macra na Feirme, the IFA or any other group that might be interested in the locality. A study of place names has been carried out before but not to include a more in depth record of field names and local names of various areas. Even within the town there are names of roads, street corners, alley ways that have unofficial and official names to be recorded. These names often change with old streets in the town like William Street, Wellington Lane and Pound Street being renamed over the years. When? Why? and How ? were these names changed would also be of interest and worth recording. So, any help please get in contact. The picture we show here is a well preserved map made in 1844 by David O'Connor for the farm of John Williams of Cahir on the banks of the Roughty. The map is to scale and measures the area of each field with the names of each field noted. This map was probably prepared for the Tithe Applotment Books. These maps were prepared by commissioners appointed by law to assess land owners of one acre Page 17 Kenmare 064 41403 Fruit Trees & Bushes Vegetables & Flower Seed Seed Potatoes .. and much, much more! or more to provide a basis for charging taxes or tithes on the holding. They were very controversial, as the house hold tax is today, naturally unpopular and led to what became known as the Tithe War. There are no records available for the rural townlands for Kenmare, as these particular records were accidently destroyed by fire. If anyone has a copy of maps such we would really like to see them and to copy for our archive. For more information check out kenmare chronicle on facebook or contact Simon on 087 2953990 John R.

A new radio documentary explains how Irish Famine emigrants left their mark in the US – in particular one Big Tim, says Ailin Quinlan On a recent visit to New York, radio producer Yvonne Judge was intrigued by a little street right in the heart of the Big Apple. Why, she wondered, was a road smack in the middle of Lower Manhattan named after a picturesque Kerry town? Judge investigated the history of Kenmare Street, and unearthed a turbulent story with its roots in the Great Famine as well as a bizarre process of enforced emigration that saw large numbers of people leave Kerry forever. Yet for many of these peasants, the harsh voyage to America and the struggle to survive in some of New York's worst tenements resulted in better lives than they could ever have imagined at home. The story begins in 1849, when William Trench, agent to Lord Lansdowne, landlord of the Kenmare estate, took a census of his employer's sprawling plantation. After assessing the decimation of the local population through disease and famine, and calculating the annual cost of keeping destitute widows and orphans in the local workhouse, Trench suggested that Lord Lansdowne would save money by providing famine survivors with free passage to the US or Canada. "Trench figured that the amount of money it cost to provide for a person in the workhouse per year was more than a passage to the US – which, at the time, was around five pounds," says Judge. The scheme proved to be immensely popular with the locals. As to the real motivation behind the scheme, opinions are mixed. Some see it as an example of benevolent economics; others deem it to be little more than a form of ethnic cleansing. Although free, the passage to America cost many their health; they endured squalid conditions on board. The majority travelled in the freezing winter months – probably because the winter passage was cheaper – and survived primarily on "very basic seamen's rations", says Judge. When they finally disembarked in New York, their ragged appearance and poor health prompted a number of articles in the 'New York Post'. "To some, this could be perceived as a sort of coffin-ship passage. The Kenmare emigrants were starving, diseased and impoverished," Judge says. Many of the emigrants settled in the Five Points slum, which features in the movie 'Gangs of New York'. "This was the poorest and cheapest area of Manhattan and a notorious slum, to the point that Charles Dickens had written about it," says Judge. The residents of Manhattan would regularly take sightseeing tours through the area to view for themselves the debauchery, drinking and gambling. The influx of destitute immigrants was massive – Baxter Street, Orange Street and Worth Street, which today comprise parts of the Senator Mark Daly, Denis Morgan, Brian Dennehy, John O'Shea and Jimmy Tuohy enjoying the Gangs of New York Gathering. neighbourhoods of Chinatown and Little Italy, were crammed. The Kenmare Irish, however, quickly found their feet. They found employment in local tanneries and taverns, sold food on the street and went on to get respectable jobs as house cleaners. Their descendants gradually climbed the social ladder through what became the fire and police departments. Many were able to send home large amounts of money through the Emigrant Savings Bank. A classic example of a poor boy making good was Tim Sullivan, known as Big Tim. The son of two Kenmare emigrants, it's believed he was born just as his parents arrived in New York. By the time he was seven, Sullivan had a newspaper round, which he went on to develop into a wide-ranging distribution system. Smart, charismatic and determined, Sullivan expanded his range of expertise to other forms of business, including taverns, saloons, theatres and eventually politics. He is believed to have had connections with the criminal underworld of gambling and prostitution, yet at the same time became renowned for his benevolence. He never lost sight of his roots. "He held Christmas balls for the Irish poor, where food was plentiful and free shoes were distributed, while at the same time making friends with all local ethnic groups," says Judge. Needless to say, his popularity grew, and, when he decided to enter politics, he had an army of willing supporters, resulting in his election to the US Congress in the early 1900s. A prominent businessman and a man of great influence locally, Sullivan supported the bill obliging citizens to show their firearms or weaponry in public and he also campaigned for women's suffrage. It was during his time on New York City Council that he became deeply involved in the construction of a new street to alleviate traffic congestion. In 1912, he convinced the council to name this new street Kenmare Street, in honour of his mother. However, the following August, Sullivan – then a married father with two children – was hit and killed by a train in upstate new York. His body was, for some reason, not identified for two weeks. It was eventually brought to the original St Patrick's Cathedral, just around the corner from Kenmare Street. Some 20,000 mourners watched his funeral procession. To this day, Sullivan's legacy lives on. Judge met with his great-greatgrandnephew, Tyrone Sullivan, who has visited Kenmare, and his great-grandson Bob Wagner. Wagner is a direct descendant of Big Tim's son – a child born to a New York actress and adopted by an American-Italian family who, ironically, lived only a short walk from Big Tim's offices. The story goes, says Judge, that before being adopted, this boy was put into an orphanage, and every six months a substantial sum of money would arrive for his upkeep. Sullivan's funeral brought another twist. "Records show that when Big Tim's funeral took place, one of the altar boys was that son," says Judge.

I am aware that the Minister and this Government are reviewing their future viability. The court service will be consulting with local interested parties including An Garda Siochana and the Irish Prison Service. This consultation will commence shortly and the views receive will be taken into account in the decision making process. Considering that this Government has already ordered the closure of Kilgarvan and Lauragh garda stations, our courthouse could possibly meet with the same fate. This Government’s eagerness to close down everything is shocking and I am genuinely amazed at the politicians who support them by remaining silent on the matter. Armagh Visitors I recently received a telephone call from a Mr and Mrs. Ivan Armstrong from County Armagh. They told me that they came to Kerry on holidays very reluctantly. Their first stop was Killarney and they then came onto Kenmare. The reason he contacted me was to relay how grateful he was for the exceptionally warm welcome they received in Kenmare. Everybody that he met was very kind and welcoming to them and when he returned to Armagh he told people in his lodge that Kenmare was the place for all of them to go in the future on holidays. He could not have been more complimentary of the locals and the businesses and the great time that he had. It was truly a great story to have relayed from a person on the other side of the country. 100% marks to Kenmare Tourism. Kenmare Ambulance Service The HSE are eliminating on call from many hospitals in the HSE region. I have continuously highlighted the fact that we have had an excellent service out of Kenmare back over the years and I do not want to see a situation where our service would be downgraded in any way. Parknasilla Hotel The confirmed news that Parknasilla Hotel has been bought by a private investor is most welcome. The nightmare scenario for County Kerry would have been that the hotel would be closed down so it is great that its future has been confirmed and assured. I wish Mr. Tony Daly and the new purchasers every good luck in the future and we look forward to the continuation of much needed local employment being provided in the Sneem area by the massive complex that is Parknasilla Hotel. Tenants of local authority houses. This week in the Dail I raised with the Minister for Finance the issue that local authorities must now make an allowance in their estimates to pay the property tax on local authority houses. The Minister, for the first time to my knowledge, publicly stated “local authority owned properties have not been exempted from the local property tax and they may increase rents to ensure that tenants of such housing units make a contribution to the LPT.” This is obviously going to put further burdens on already struggling families. Lighting Myself and Johnny Healy-Rae have highlighted to KCC the fact that there is inadequate lighting on the entrance road to the hospital in Kenmare. We will try to get this matter sorted as soon as possible. Kenmare News [email protected] Page 23 Baby Lucas O’Sullivan who was christened by Father Tom Creen in Holy Cross Church last weekend.

The pupils, parents (past and present) and friends of Black Valley National School held a celebratory party in Brook Lane Hotel for Janice Gaine recently to mark her 15 years of dedicated service, as assistant teacher, in their small two teacher school at the foot of the McGillycuddy Reeks. In 1997 Janice Gaine came to the school to teach art and she filled the school with life and colour. As one past pupil put it, “I will always remember Janice for her caring and compassionate nature. She treated each and every student like they were her own. I'll never forget her and wish her much happiness for the future. She was a wonderful teacher.” Séamus Long and Janice Gaine. If you have young children at nursery school perhaps you might consider enroling them at Black Valley National School this September in order to try and help the school replenish their numbers.

Phone 087 2953990 • [email protected] Schools Gardening website www.raringtogrow.com Happy New Year everyone ! Let’s hope this coming year will be far better in the garden than it was last year. We’ve had enough rain to last us several seasons ! On the other hand , at least up until now it has been a relatively mild winter with only a couple of nights frost but his could easily change as winter is far from over. The birds don’t seem to think so however with the mild early January weather has got them all thinking of nest building ! Just like with the birds, now is also a good time for the gardener to be planning ahead for the coming seasons in the garden. The vegetable garden and the fruit area need planning now for planting up from February onwards. Vegetable seeds are all in the shops and GARDEN CENTRES and early sowings can be made of many vegetables under some protective covering. Tomatoes, Peppers and Cucumbers can be sown early Feb, but keep them in the warm. Cabbage, Lettuce, and a range of Herbs can be sown in seed trays in polythene tunnels and Broad Beans would be the first outside sowing in early March. Seed Potatoes will be available in the last week of January through to April. These can be sprouted in the warmth prior to planting to speed up their establishment and growth...more on this next month. In the fruit garden, cane fruits like, Raspberry, Black currants, Loganberry etc can be planted during February and into early March, so prepare the area by digging it over and add some well rotted farm yard manure so the ground is ready for planting in a few weeks. Rooted strawberry runners will also be available during February. Fruit bushes at this time of year are available as ‘Bare root’ plants and are more economical than container grown plants available later on in the season. So, if you are serious about a fruit garden, plant up in February and March and it will be cheaper. Apple, Pears, Plums, and Cherries are also available for planting from now until early April. As for doing some actual work !! When you look around the garden now there is certainly plenty to work on. If we had a bit of snow it would certainly make the garden look much tidier ! One of the main problems, or excuses, for not starting the spring clean is the soggy nature of the ground. The lawn is so saturated with water it turns to a dirty jelly by just walking over it carefully, if you have to walk back and forth a few times it really does leave a muddy track. This can cause more trouble than the good you are trying to fix so be patient and whenever it does dry up a bit launch an attack on tidying the place up ! 1.The lawn itself will need raking to remove the last of the autumn leaves and bits of twigs that has fallen on to it. This raking freshens up the grass as well and gives a neat appearance straight away. 2.Old leaves and other debris should be removed from Shrubs beds and prune back summer flowering shrubs. DO NOT PRUNE spring flowering shrubs now as you will be cutting away their flower buds. 3.Alpines and other rockery plants should be tidied up and remove old leaves. Remove old flower stems and dried up leaves of Herbaceous plants as growth is about to start . 4. replant patio containers with heathers, spring bulbs and primrose or some large Hellebores. Once the tidy up is complete we will be ready for when it begins to warm up a bit and spring will be here in just a few weeks and then it’s all systems GO ! Until then Happy Gardening !

Last month, I took over from Peter Ringlever as the creative force behind The Kenmare Network, a group of websites showcasing Kenmare and the surrounding towns. Led by Kenmare.eu, the websites in the Kenmare Network have been providing visitors to the area with information and business listings for the past sixteen years. I bring to the table a set of fresh eyes and a vision for the future of the Network, having worked for years as a web designer, filmmaker, and business consultant. Under my company name of Kenmare Creative, I have plans to update and enhance Kenmare's online presence, just in time for this year's Gathering and the tourism season. In addition to the website network, I will be releasing a new version of the annual Kenmare Guide, expanding upon the previous three years work with a brand new layout and a distribution network from Killarney to Bantry and all along the Kenmare Bay. Those interested in listing their business in the Guide and on the Network, can contact me through my website at KenmareCreative.com Creativity has always been a driving force in my life. I come from a background in filmmaking, web design, and computer repairs, and I've built my company, Kenmare Creative to focus on those areas. Since I moved to Kenmare in 2009, I've helped a number of people around town to take control of their online presence. There are so many creative talents in the Kenmare area, and so many creative minds running the businesses around town. Kenmare is, to my mind, a place as filled with love of life as any I've encountered in my travels around the globe, and Kenmare Creative is a reflection of that spirit, based on my enthusiasm for better communication through beautifully presented content. Here's looking forward to a lively 2013, and many happy returns. http://kenmarecreative.com @KenmareCreative facebook.com/KenmareCreative 064 6682003 KENMARE BOARDING KENNELS • Six large indoor kennels.

Kenmare Kestrels are going well in all ages from Under 8’s to Senior Men’s and Ladies teams. Our men keep winning under the direction of coach PJ Reidy. They lost in the Semi-Final of the St. Mary’s Castleisland Blitz over Christmas but played exceptionally well. In the Kerry Cup they await a date with St. Mary’s also in the semi-final. In the league they have now won 4 and lost twice. The Kestrels ladies continue to improve and have a number of games in the next few weeks. Keep up to date with all our teams on Facebook. The Kestrels Juveniles are performing exceptionally well again this year. The Academy is going strong thanks to both volunteer coaches and Andrew Fitzgerald. We have two strong Under 12 girls’ teams with coaches Sinead O'Donovan and John Adams doing a great job. U12 boys’ teams likewise are improving thanks to PJ Reidy, Gavin Crowley and Shirley Cronin. U14 girls (also two teams) are very competitive thanks to Shirley Cronin, Siobhan Cronin, Ka Condon and Phyllis Crowley. U14 boys are playing very well thanks again to coach PJ Reidy. U16 girls are having a fantastic season, they are currently 2nd in their league table and remain only 1 point behind the leaders. They are improving in every game and it is showing in their results. They lost an epic battle with Tralee Imperials in the Cup semi-final on Tuesday with Roisin Lehane, Clodagh Quinlan, Chloe Hawker, Orla Randles and Alanna Harrington all outstanding.

Either way it has been a fantastic period for our footballers and hurlers (many of them dual players) and with the Leagues getting ready to kick off and Kerry in the McGrath Cup Final the season is stretching out full of promise again. Training has started again at various grades – much thanks to all trainers and mentors for their commitment. MOUTHGUARDS It is now mandatory for all players up to and including Minors to wear a mouthguard at training and during matches. There are three types of mouth guards: Stock mouthguards are preformed and come ready to wear. They are inexpensive and can generally be purchased in sports shops for in or around 5 each. However, little can be done to adjust their fit, they are bulky, can make breathing and talking difficult, and they provide limited protection. Dentists do not recommend their use, nonetheless, once they carry the CE (European Conformity) mark they are acceptable in terms of complying with the new GAA Rules. Official OPRO GAA/GPA stock mouthguards will be available for purchasing through your local retailers: Finnegans, SuperValu, Centra, Lifestyle and Elverys. Boil and bite mouthguards can also be bought over the counter at most Sports Shops and generally offer a better fit than stock mouth protectors. The "boil and bite" mouthguard is made from thermoplastic material. It is placed in hot water to soften, then placed in the mouth and shaped around the teeth using finger and tongue pressure. Dentists do not recommend their use in general. Typically these type of mouthguards will cost in the region of 8 to 33 and again any mouthguard with the CE mark on it in this category is sufficient to ensure compliance with the new rule. Official OPRO GAA/GPA boil & bite mouthguards will be available for purchasing through your local retailers: SuperValu, Centra, Lifestyle and Elverys. Custom-fitted mouthguards are individually designed and made in a dental office or a The New Years Epic run This was the second year that the club have held The News Years Epic Run (new name as 10 miles of Hell was putting some people off !!). With numbers of participants doubling to 22, it proved that this intimidating course was not dissuading brave souls from signing up. Conditions were wet n windy, just as we hoped. Cork Tri’s Peter O Gorman set off at a blistering pace and soon split the lead group. He maintained this lead to come home a comfortable winner of the now 11.5mile new route in 1hr 28min. Kenmare Tri’s Pawel Glowczyk was second and was closely followed by Cork’s Sean Finn who may have placed higher but for going off route earlier. The return of Ellen Vitting competing for Kenmare was great to see and she narrowly pushed past Maureen Harrington in the last one hundred meters to claim first women home. Lousie Keane of the famous triathlon family in Cork placed third. A big thanks to The Bay Leisure Club for providing showers to the athletes afterwards. James from Jam once again provided an amazing spread including a large chocolate birthday cake for Robert. Once again he kindly sponsored this and his continued support of the club is greatly appreciated. A big thanks to all who took place especially our friends from Cork Triathlon Club. New Years day swim 30 plus swimmers plunged into the near freezing waters of Killmackilogue harbour in the now traditional new years day swim. Wet suits were abandoned for the day and only the very hardy were able to stay more than a minute or so in the water. Luckily Helen’s pub was close at hand, and hot drinks and food were gladly consumed. Thanks very much to Helen and her staff for accommodating us and providing hot showers and changing facilities. Mountain Biking The club has recently taken to the trails, tracks and back roads of both the Beara Kenmare News professional laboratory based on your dentist's instructions. These will not just offer the best protection against dental and oral injury but they should not affect performance i.e. breathing and speech should be relatively unaffected particularly if these have been worn regularly. First, your dentist will make an impression of your teeth and a mouthguard is then molded over the model using a special material. Due to the use of the special material and because of the extra time and work involved, this custommade mouthguard is more expensive than the other types, but it provides the most comfort and protection. Official OPRO custom fitted mouthguards will be available from a network of dentists. Coiste na nOg: The AGM for Coiste na nOg will be on Friday 1st February at nine o'clock in the Club House.

These trips have been great fun and anybody who took part will testify to the great work out and the trill of descending and ascending on less than perfect ground conditions. The bike skill necessary to master the art of mountain biking were a lesson to us all and hopefully with a few more of these trips it will improve our overall bike handling.

Sunday 14th January Denny Premier A Classic FC 2 - 2 Inter Kenmare Inter A’s travelled to Tralee to face Classic FC and came away with a good 2 - 2 draw. Inter fell behind early to an unlucky goal when a cross went in off the post. Soon after Sean Murphy scored from a free kick bringing the score to a goal a piece. Classic then scored their second goal. Without wasting time, Inter had the opportunity to equalise from the penalty spot after Dan Cahalane was brought down by the keeper but the kick was saved and the rebound went over the bar. Inter Kenmare were under pressure in the second half but good defending kept Classic out and with minutes remaining Keith Harrington scored to make it 2 - 2. By Donal Casey Crossmahon Ladies 0 - 9 Inter Ladies - 0 - 12 on aggregate Inter Kenmare travelled to Crossmahon for the second leg of the first round of the West Cork Cup.

Joey Quinn made his debut up front and was causing great upset to Listowel defence all day. Paty Murphy came on for Quinn up front. James Jones took over Sean Casey’s role in tackling at midfield. Despite defeat on the day, Coach Caroline Taylor was very happy with the team’s performance. They never gave up and battled to the end; great football and skill displayed. Inter should be proud of their efforts. By Caroline Taylor Saturday 22nd December Kerry Biofuels Youths League Listowel Celtic 4 - 1 Inter Kenmare Saturday 15th December Moriarty’s Centra 11’s Killarney Celtic A 8 - 1 Inter Kenmare Killarney Celtic B 9 - 4 Inter Kenmare Kerry Biofuels Youth’s Inter Kenmare 2 - 3 Castleisland The game concluded 2-3 in favour of Castleisland. However, Inter had started the game very brightly with Conor Maye in the centre forward berth working hard to escape his markers and link with midfield. Killian Harrington and Paudie O’Sullivan were providing width in the wide forward positions and Kenmare were constructing some purposeful moves that should have proved profitable. Castleisland began to get to more involved, although their main attacking ploy seem to be to position several players in clear offside positions in the hope the referee would allow at least one move in this manner to prosper. At one stage they had 5 players in an off side position and still berated the referee for calling offside. At least one of their goals resulted in a player scoring from an off side position; the referees need to be more vigilant or the game becomes a mockery. Eventually Kenmare made the breakthrough after a clearance from defence was expertly nodded on by Fintan Kennedy and Conor Maye, playing intelligently with his back to goal lost his marker and latched onto the ball. Keeping his composure he rolled the ball back to Josh Holland who deftly chipped the keeper from 25 yards out. The half finished a merited 1 nil to Inter. Castleisland stared the second half in determined fashion, but Inter withstood the storm and once again took control of the match and looked the most likely to score. Kenmare had a certain goal disallowed that the referee adjudged not to have crossed the line. Unfortunately, Castleisland scored from a rare break away and then notched a second to make it 2-1. Undaunted, Kenmare battled on and Conor Maye grabbed the equaliser and Kenmare looked set fare to go on and win the game. But the old adage that teams are most vulnerable after they have scored came back to haunt Inter as they conceded an exceptionally soft goal straight from the kick off. Kenmare battled bravely but could not get that elusive goal to equalise. The lads can take plenty of positives from the game played on a sticky pitch, but they must concentrate for the full duration.
