LEGAL MATTERS CORNER MIRIAM MC GILLICUDDY ANSWERS YOUR LEGAL QUERIES Living Wills/Advanced Healthcare Directives Billy has heard of living wills but he is not sure what they are and is wondering whether he should arrange one.

A Living Will is a type of Advanced HealthCare Directive. It is a direction as to future health care. It is particularly important as it operates when one is not capable of giving these instructions. E.g if one was in a coma or had developed Alzheimers disease. These now have legal authority under the new Assisted Decision-Making (Capacity) Legislation 2015.

The Advanced Healthcare Directive is a written document by a person over 18 years of full legal capacity signed in the presence of two witnesses at least one of whom is not an immediate family member which sets out the person’s will and preferences concerning medical or healthcare treatment decisions. The person may appoint a designated healthcare representative to act on their behalf in relation to health care issues and decisions that may arise in the future at a time when he/she may not have the ability to make those decisions for him/herself. It promotes Autonomy and complements the advance care planning process.

It can be classified as a statement regarding the person’s wishes and preferences in relation to future medical care. It will set out the extent and type of healthcare the person wishes to have when they may not be able to make a decision on the healthcare and treatment at the particular time. People usually make directives to limit treatments to prolong life e.g. resuscitation, peg feeding, life support machines. Some people make directives to state that they want all possible treatments to be used however such a directive may not operate as it is dependent on healthcare resources.

This is the first time advanced health care has been included in legislation. If a medical issue arises it is standard practice to consult next of kin where the patient hasn’t got the capacity to make a decision. However the next of kin still have no legal right to make decisions on behalf of their nearest and dearest adults.

Forms to do a living will are available on the website www.thinkahead.ie Lawquip: I don’t find health-related puns funny anymore since I started suffering from an irony deficiency.”

New Group To Promote Employment Creation and Retention In Kerry A new interagency group has been established to promote employment creation and retention in Kerry.

The working group is one of the many initiatives in place to help to reboot the Kerry economy and to support businesses through the current economic challenges.

The Employment Creation and Retention Working Group has been welcomed by the Cathaoirleach of Kerry County Council, Cllr Patrick ConnorScarteen who described it an important effort to complement the current work being done in several areas to meet the challenges of

COVID-19.”For many months, Kerry County Council has been closely engaged with a range of agencies and representative bodies to chart the way forward economically for the county. All agencies are working together, for example, in the areas of business supports, training, making Kerry a safe destination, and providing assistance to shops and businesses as they re-open and adapt to new realities.” ”This new group will focus on jobs in particular and how we retain existing employment in the county and attract new employers and employees to Kerry in the months and years ahead.” he said.

The Employment Creation and Retention Working Group includes

Friday 7th August 2020

representatives of Kerry County Council, Kerry Local Enterprise Office, the Industrial Development Authority, Enterprise Ireland, Kerry SciTech, Kerry Tourism Industry Federation, Kerry Chambers Network, IT Tralee, and industry representatives. The Cathaoirleach of Kerry County Council, Cllr Patrick Connor-Scarteen, and the Chairperson of the Economic Development Strategic Policy Committee (SPC), Cllr Michael O’Shea are also members.Ken Tobin, CE of Tralee Chamber said “Following very recent and difficult closures in Tralee we have been quite vocal on the real need for Kerry to stand together now with a dedicated and resourced taskforce to actively create new job opportunities, to directly go out and attract new industry to Kerry and to support job retention in

our existing industries. We welcome the formation of the Working Group as the start of this process.”

“Over the past number of months public and private stakeholders have worked quite closely together to guide businesses through the pandemic and return as many people as possible back to Employment. It is abundantly clear the long-term impact of the Covid19 pandemic on jobs in Kerry is not over.”

KEEP YOUR BUSINESS IN TRALEE AND KEEP TRALEE IN BUSINESS!

A well written piece from Jerry Turners Pub, that represents the current sentiment of the majority of Pub owners this week.

This is our family Pub at 10pm Tonight (Empty and Closed) Like 3500 more all over Rural Ireland. Obviously we know how dangerous and serious Covid is, and as responsible Publicans we want to do everything in our power to keep our customers and friends safe, but can I ask all

our public representatives in Kerry, why can people fly in and out of our country? And travel all over our Island with no restrictions.?

Meanwhile pubs throughout the Island of Ireland can’t open our doors. Remember the local pub was a place to meet up, have meetings, parties and

equally importantly a place to go to on the sad occasions.

The local pub always gave sponsorship to the local teams and other organisations. The local pub gave employment to the youth going to college, but here we are, 5 months on, still closed.

We need real grants not loans.

To my fellow publicans throughout Ireland, please Stay Safe, please talk to others.

This is a tough time for us all, but let’s stick together. Our businesses may be in trouble but remember we are a huge part of our communities. #lovetralee #kerry #kerrytds #VFI

“Pauline will walk 1000 miles”... (well actually 100k)

Tralee woman Pauline Barrett is taking part in the Mellon Educate FitBlitz. She is walking 100km in August to help the charity raise funds for their educational programmes in Sth Africa. She is asking friends and family to join her so collectively those registered can walk 10,000km the distance between Dublin and Cape Town. Are up for the challenge?

Lauren’s Slimming World is back! (and we cannot wait to see our members) Lauren was running her group virtually throughout lockdown and her group was extremely successful with their weightloss journeys and continued to lose weight through the pandemic.

Lauren’s groups in Tralee and Dingle lost an amazing 1621 pounds.. 115 stone while in lockdown. Members benefited greatly from the virtual service with not only her ever popular zoom groups but also a closed Facebook group, and the Slimming World app. Lauren added in extras throughout the week such as daily recipes, cooking demos, inspiration and much more. They went down a storm with her members and kept everyone focused .”So many were thankful that the support was still there to help them through a difficult few months.” says Lauren Understandably the virtual

world didn’t suit everyone but Lauren is delighted to announce that physical groups are returning and all members are welcome back with all back fees waived, a free digital edition of the latest Slimming World magazine and a special gift of a motivational journal to kick start your weight loss journey again.

New members are very welcome and will now have a dedicated session to begin their first week.

“Groups will be running slightly different in the interest of safety and to follow social distancing guidelines

you will be required to book through our booking system www.picktime.com/ laurenfitzell “ says Lauren ..Its so simple to use , You can book the location and session you desire through the above website.

“So if you feel you have that “covid stone” to lose please feel free to get in touch with me. “

See you all in Dingle @ WK Fitness Thursday 13th of August and in Tralee @ St John’s Parish Centre Saturday 15th of August.

Sports Complex delighted with the power of the Tralee Advertiser!

Every business that has ‘re-opened’ in June or July since being closed through lockdown, will have had concerns and a bit of trepidation with how business was going to be after opening their doors again ..Will people come again ? Will my ‘regulars’ return ?.Will we get ‘new ‘ business ? What about our tourist trade ? Will we have any ? None more so than Finbar, Ger , Evan and all the team at Tralee Sports Complex . “Yes , we were concerned with what the ‘new normal ‘ would be ...after all we have

2 swimming pools ,dressing rooms , a gym , a sports hall , courts and outside pitches “ says Evan Scott .”We knew that people might be a bit hesitant coming back to us , to see what procedures and new cleaning routines we had put in place . But its all worked out well so far “, as Evan is delighted to report that his ongoing Summer camps , Kids Swimmimg lessons and Super 7’s intensive swim lessons on a Saturday are all solidly booked up for the coming weeks . “ Our main media partner is The Tralee Advertiser and we

work closely with Chris from the Advertiser every week” says Evan “ .His design team come up with very creative , eyecatching adverts for us and The Tralee Advertiser is aimed exactly where we get our customers and members from , the greater Tralee area . Also our budget goes a long long way with The Advertiser as its low cost but very very effective .We had to put on extra Teenage camps due to the demand ! “ “Yes there have Friday 7th August 2020

Lorem ipsum

The new Employment Wage Support Scheme and the difference between it and the Temporary Wage Subsidy scheme:

EMPLOYERS QUESTIONS? ANSWERED! When does it start and for how long will it run?

It starts the 1st of September and continues to the end of March 2021.

How do I know that I can qualify for wage support?

The EWSS will require employers to reassess their eligibility for wage support. Employers who can demonstrate to the satisfaction of Revenue that turnover or customer orders are estimated to have fallen by 30 per cent for the period July to December 2020, compared to the same period last year, will be eligible for the EWSS. While eligibility for the TWSS has been assessed on a 25 per cent reduction in quarter two turnover or customer orders.

How much will I receive for each employee?

Under the EWSS employers will receive a flat-rate subsidy of up to €203 or €151.50 per employee, per week, depending on the employee’s gross weekly pay. A subsidy will not be available for employee’s whose gross weekly earnings are less than €151.50 or greater than €1,462. The TWSS provides for a maximum subsidy amount of €410 depending on an employee’s ARNWP.

What are the changes that really make a difference?

Under the EWSS a subsidy will be available for new and seasonal employees, in addition to existing employees.

I have only recently started my Business, can I qualify?

The EWSS is also open to newly commenced businesses. The eligibility criteria for new businesses will be assessed against projected turnover or customer orders had there been no COVID-19 disruption. The EWSS is available to employer’s registered under Section 58C of the Child Care Act 1991.

Physio Advice

with Silka!

So, what is good Posture anyway?

The key to good Posture is about the positioning of the Spine and how we hold ourselves while sitting, standing or walking. What defines good or bad Posture can be measured by how much ease we have while we move. This is directly linked to what our Posture does or does not support. When we experience tightness, pain, stiffness or lose our flexibility, it can result in a tired or stiff body. This happens when we fail to pay proper attention to how we hold our bodies; which directly influences our health and wellbeing.

Our recent inactivity due to lockdown has forced us to live so much out of our routine and has brought changes to how we engage our Posture. Slouching forward, sitting slumped, not moving, working at the coffee table from the sofa instead of the usual desk, all have their way of influencing our habitual behaviour.

I hear you ask why should I care about any of this?

Well, you'll feel it more so than making a conscious choice about it. Suppose your Body is feeling tired, stiff or heavy...

In that case, a balanced approach of stretches, strengthening and coordinating exercises would be very effective in bringing your spine back into alignment.

Our Posture leans to what we habitually do. In our modern life, this Posture has become a mainly forward-leaning, rounded one. Gravity now has more opportunity to pull us into this newly found slouched forward way of being. Our now unconsciously chosen dysfunctional Posture can overstretch and weaken us if left unattended. Apparently, with no good reason, we feel less energetic, and often niggles and pains keep coming back without warning.

It may be too easy to think of as necessary, but it's crucial to start every day with a little gentle exercise. Any exercise is better than nothing, as long as moving is pain-free; a small bit goes a long way to keeping your head above your shoulders, your shoulders above your hips and your hips aligned with your feet in a straight line.

Have you heard of What Women Want?

Call on 064 66 30712 or visit www.whatwomenwant.ie.

A good rule of thumb is to look sideways into a full-length mirror to see if you are in alignment by visualising a straight line extending from your ear to your ankle.

Can you see a straight line connecting your Body to the ground?

If not, there is a misalignment taking place.

So why not get it sorted by giving me a call today.

HELLO BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE I hope you’re having an amazing week.

This week we’re talking all things face masks. I love a good face mask, I think they’re a fantastic way to treat yourself and your skin. Here are my current go to masks… I’m more of a clay/gel/cream mask gal than a sheet mask one. I just find sheet masks don’t seem to work as well for me, so that’s why you won’t see any mentioned. All the brands below can be used on any skin type. All theses masks are multiple use masks that come in a jar, they’re my favorite kind!

Trilogy Hydrating Jelly Mask €23

Among the first of its kind in natural beauty, this cooling gel textured mask infuses skin with powerfully natural Hyaluronic Acid to help smooth the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, Rosehip Oil and Manuka Honey to deeply nourish, and Aloe Vera and New Zealand Kawakawa to refresh.

BOOSTING YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM For good health it is essential that your immune system is working at optimum levels, only then can it protect you from infection, viruses and helping you to recover quickly when you are ill.

WHAT AFFECTS YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM? A number of factors can affect your immunity, the most common offenders include; LACK OF SLEEP: when you sleep your body is busy repairing, rejuvenating and healing. Without adequate sleep your immune system may be compromised and not able to do its job effectively.

POOR DIET: good nutrients are essential for every part of your immune system. When you eat healthily you give your body the basic building blocks it needs for renewal, repair and defence against illness.

STRESS OVERLOAD: when you are under stress your adrenal glands release too much cortisol (stress hormone) which can hamper your immune response, this may increase your risk of infection and inflammation.

EMOTIONAL UPSET: low mood, anxiety and a negative attitude to life all seem to have an inhibiting effect on immunity.

Scientific studies consistently show that people with an upbeat,

TRALEE ADVERTISER

positive outlook tend to have a more robust immune system.

Some supplements to consider when trying to support immunity: Vitamin C: take this antioxidant as a separate supplement as the amount in a multivitamin is usually low. Vitamin C is essential for the production of white blood cells, which help fight off disease.

PROBIOTICS: to increase the good bacteria in your gut helping to keep yeast and other invaders in check, protecting you from infection.

OMEGA 3 FATTY ACIDS: are anti-inflammatory and can help boost immunity HERBS WHICH CAN ALSO HELP BOOST IMMUNITY: ASTRAGULAS, ECHINACEA , OLIVE LEAF AND BLACK ELDERBERRY, available in capsule or liquid.

Until next time, stay healthy.

FITNESS!

Hello strong people!

I hope you’re all having an amazing week.

Maybe at the start of 2020 you promised yourself this year was the year you would take care of yourself, put yourself first, exercise, be more mindful of what you’re eating… maybe you haven’t done that, but that’s ok. You just need to be self aware.

I want to be?”... Motivation becomes easy when you know WHY you want something, and it’s not because you feel motivated all the time… it’s because you know why you’re striving towards something.

When you sit down and ask yourself these questions, you find your WHY. That will motivate you everyday to get up and do what you have promised yourself you will do. WHY? Because you hav e purpose. You have a goal. And you are the only person who can make those steps to achieveing what you want this year.

I think about this a lot, when it comes to me personally I know WHY I go to the gym and train 5 days a week. It’s because I love how it makes me feel. I feel strong, clear minded, and happier in myself. I know i am doing something to make my body feel better. I know my 2020 goal is to get in the best shape I’ve ever been in. I know I want to do this because I know my body and mind are able. Do I want to be shredded and have a year round 6 pack? NO. The best shape of my life for me might look different than what yours looks like. And that is fine. I just know that I love going to to gym for all the benefits my mind and body feels.

I think it’s very important to be self aware. To realise when you’re putting things off, being lazy, critical, thinking you can’t do something.

When you’re self aware you can reevalute certain aspects of your life and ask yourself, “Am I doing things that are working towards the person

When it comes to exercise and working out, you need to think about it as doing something positive and worthwhile for yourself. Saying things like ‘I hate the gym, I hate exercise, I hate working out’, will only re inforce negative emotions.

You should be grateful that your

You need to sit down and talk to yourself. You need to think about what you prioritise in your life and why you want to achieve certain things. WHY do you want to exercise? WHY do you want to be more mindful of what you’re eating.

Rebecca Friday 7th August 2020

body has the strength and the abilty to wrok out. You should be grateful that you are doing something for you. When you change your mindset, everything changes.

Try it out this week, see how you feel, discover your WHY.

Explore Our Waterways – Women on the Water

With the reopening of our county, Kerry Recreation and Sports Partnership, is delighted to announce a new programme designed for women, Kerry’s Explore Our Waterways – Women on the Water.

Jimmy Deenihan, Chairperson of Kerry Recreation and Sports Partnership stated “Kerry’s abundant Waterways provide an ideal environment for people to get outside and get active”, which is a key objective of the Sports partnership for this initiative.

“The objective is to create a pathway to introduce women to the outdoors and to promote our abundance of waterways for sport and recreational purposes. An element of fun and social engagement will be implemented into the programme and should participants choose there is a progression pathway created into the Kerry Canoe Club, Killorglin”, as expressed by the club chairperson, Brian O’Flaherty With this in mind, Kerry’s Women on the Water programme was devised by Kerry Recreation and Sports Partnership in conjunction with Kerry Canoe Club, Killorglin, inviting women to join us for a beginner based Kayaking programme, suitable for women without any prior experience on the water. The programme will take place Friday evenings, from 7-9pm commencing on Friday 28th of August for 5 weeks.

Patrice Diggin, Community Sports Development Officer with Kerry Recreation and Sports Partnership believes this to be “a fantastic opportunity for all women who would like to meet new people and get active while being outdoors in nature and on the water.

For further details on this programme and to sign up please go to Kerry Recreation and Sports Partnership’s social media pages on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram or contact info@kerryrecreationandsports.ie or 066-7184776.

This programme will be held in line with HSE guidelines and Sport Ireland requirements on Covid-19 protocols.

MOTORING QUERIES WITH HONEST JOHN DO I NEED TO REPLACE ALL FOUR TYRES AT THE SAME TIME?

My Mercedes-Benz E-Class will require new front tyres before winter. I would like to fit Michelin CrossClimate or similar. Can I just put these on the front with the standard tyres on the back or do I need to change all four at the same time? Brian S HJ says ; This would be a very bad idea. Fitting all-season tyres to the front would destabilise the car and make the car very unpredictable to drive. You will need to replace all four at once. Otherwise, the rear tyres (which drive the car) will have less grip than the front.

ARE THERE ANY ESTATES WITH A LOW BOOT LIP? I NEED SOMETHIG FOR AN AGEING DOG TO EASILY JUMP INTO.

I have a dog that is struggling to jump into my Skoda Fabia Estate boot due to the high lip. Are there any estates with flat or near-flat boot access? Up to £10,000 secondhand and I do less than 5000 miles a year so don’t mind the age. Thank you....

Robert H.J.says The best car for this sort of task is a van-based MPV. It will give you a practical car with a very low boot floor that will be easy for a dog to jump in/out of.

Given your budget, I’d recommend a petrol Ford Tourneo Connect

ESTATING THE OBVIOUS

Could you suggest a suitable car for my daughter and her husband? They have a three-year old son with another due any minute. Their annual mileage is about 11,000 miles, mainly short journeys with 400 mile round trips about once a month. They have a budget of £€16,000-€20,000 plus their 2009 Meriva 1.6 Design petrol with about 45,000 miles on it. They also have two medium sized dogs. I have suggested a conventional estate, but my daughter quite likes the raised driving position....James H.J. says The newer model Meriva 1.4T. Vastly better than the original Meriva. www. honestjohn.co.uk/road-tests/vauxhall/vauxhall-.../. A taller MPV is better for parents backs lifting babies and children in and out.

THE TURBO ON MY DIESEL CAR NEEDED REPLACED AFTER JUST FIVE YEARS. SHOULD THE MANUFACTURER CONTRIBUTE?

My five year old Mercedes-Benz A-Class diesel has done 36,000 miles. The turbo failed, resulting in a garage bill of £1700. It was repaired by a local Mercedes specialist as the dealer couldn’t deal with the car for a month. Mercedes-Benz refuses to contribute. What’s the general lifespan for a turbo on this model? Should Mercedes contribute in your opinion? Thanks. John N .

HJ says The turbo is designed to last the life of the car. But problems in diesels usually develop when the vehicle is used for short journeys. Those 36,000 miles suggest that this car covers 7200 miles a year. This isn’t enough for modern diesel engine. It has probably resulted in oil starvation to the turbo and/or oil contamination caused by the diesel particulate filter (DPF) failing to complete its regeneration cycle. Unless you plan to increase your mileage, my advice would be to sell the car and replace it with a petrol.

Otherwise, further mechanical problems will be inevitable.

TEST DELAYS EXPENSIVE FOR LEARNERS

Delays to driving tests due to the pandemic are set to cost provisional-licence drivers a packet. Experts said thousands of drivers on provisional licences will be forced to renew insurance policies for up to €600 each more than fully licensed drivers.

Insurance brokerage Coverinaclick.ie says figures from the Road Safety Authority suggest that 33,000 drivers would have passed their test between March and July.

But, due to Covid-19, the test centres were closed.

Deirdre McCarthy of Coverinaclick.ie said this is leading to thousands of motorists looking at another year of high premiums. She advised these motorists to check their insurer’s refund policy before renewing.

She said that pre-Covid 16,000-17,000 drivers were tested every month and around half passed. The service had to be suspended on March 13 and resumed only this week. “Drivers who pass their test are typically rewarded with premium reductions of between €300 and €600 at their next renewal,” Ms McCarthy said.

The 33,000 drivers who would likely have passed their test between March and July will not see these reductions if their insurance is due for renewal before their test date. Most insurers will give a pro-rata refund if a person passes their test during the term of their cover.

IT’S ONLY A JOKE 28

MY WIFE JUST GOT OUT 3 MEN ARE OF THE BATH AND WAS STRANDED WRAPPED IN A TOWEL ON AN ISLAND. men are stranded on an island WHEN SHE HEARD A KNOCK 3and they find a genie bottle. They decide that She went down to the door in her towel.

She opened it to our neighbor, Bob. Bob looks at her, and quickly says, “Look this might be weird but ill give you €800 if you drop the towel right now.

She proceeds to drop the towel, exposing herself to Bob. Bob hands here the 800 euros and walks away.

My wife comes upstairs. I asked her, Hey, who was at the door?

“Oh, just our neighbor Bob.” She says.

I say, “Oh damn, where’d he go? Does he have the €800 he owes me?”

A RESOURCEFUL WOMAN...

A woman gets into a very busy restaurant around lunch time. She is told the next available table would be free in an hour. She holds her phone to her ear, and with a loud voice says: “Honey, you won’t believe it, but your husband is having lunch with his girlfriend at so-and-so restaurant” Half the diners instantly get up and rush to the exit..

THE TOILET BRUSH

A man walks into a store looking for a toilet brush.

The store owner shows him a variety of brushes at various pricepoints. The man thinks for a little while, then buys the cheapest one.

The next day the man is back at the store. “Were you unhappy with your purchase?” asks the shopkeeper. “We have other models that might work better.”

The man agrees and buys a little more expensive one.

The next day the man is back yet again. The shopkeeper, visually puzzled on how a toilet brush can be such a big deal, asks “What’s the matter, didn’t like the new one either?”

“Well” replies the man. “To be honest it was pretty effective. But I gotta say, I prefer toilet paper!”

MY WIFE AND I WERE HAPPY FOR 20 YEARS...

each person gets one wish. The first man says “I wish I was back home.” then disappeared.

The second man says “I wish I was of this island!” and he was gone. The third man say “I wish my friends were back.”

WASHINGTON D.C. WAS IN COMPLETE GRIDLOCK...

As I stewed in traffic wondering what was causing it, a guy comes up and knocks on my window.

“What’s it all about?” I ask. “You haven’t heard?

President Trump has been kidnapped. It’s all over the news! The ransom note says we either deliver a billion dollars or they are going to cover him with gas and burn him alive. I’m out here taking up a collection to help.” “Oh, God.” I said. “Of course I’m willing to help. Anything. How much have you got so far?” “About six gallons.” He said.

A STRANGER WAS SEATED NEXT TO LITTLE JOHNNY ON THE PLANE

When the stranger turned to the Little Johnny and said, “Let’s talk. I’ve heard that flights will go quicker if you strike up a conversation with your fellow passenger.”

Little Johnny, who had just opened his book, closed it slowly, and said to the stranger, “What would you like to discuss?”

“Oh, I don’t know,” said the stranger. “How about nuclear power?”

“OK,” said Little Johnny. “That could be an interesting topic, but let me ask you a question first. A horse, a cow, and a deer all eat grass. The same stuff. Yet a deer excretes little pellets, while a cow turns out a flat patty, and a horse produces clumps of dried grass. Why do you suppose that is?”

“What? I have no idea” said the stranger.

“Well, then,” said Little Johnny, “How is it that you feel qualified to discuss nuclear power when you don’t know squat?”

AN AWARD FOR THOSE WHO DON’T LOOK FOR AWARDS: The vast majority of those reading this column will have been around sports clubs or organisations all our lives.

Whether is playing to an adult and serious level or just as a youngster and moving into the administrative side or just working behind the scenes at whatever task is needed to be done.

So now take a minute and remember those special club or county people who have made an indelible mark on you either as a coach or just because of what they did for your club. These are the people who take the u5’s and 6’’s where there is no glory of winning but a joy of starting off the future players, a coach at an older age who showed you how to develop your skills or maybe when you got older someone you noticed as being the first in the gate, out lining the pitch, making sure the kits are right, putting their hand up to volunteer to help with the latest fundraising idea or to organise the Christmas parties for the kids or adults or the many many other tasks that must be undertaken to ensure sport goes ahead.

Does someone spring to mind? I bet a number of people do. Well now is your time to recognise them and show them how much the mean to the club / sport even though this is something they never sought out.

The Federation of Irish Sport in conjunction with ESB Mortage Matters have launched the 2020 Volunteers in Sports Awards aptly titled Dedicated to the Dedicated.

And a sign of the strength of the volunteer in Kerry both Kieran Donaghy and Jimmy Diggins were chosen to launch the Awards. Both men spoke fondly of those that helped them early on and those behind the scenes in the clubs and county set-ups they have been with. And both men are still hugely involved in basketball as they have been all their lives.

Both were instrumental in seeing top level basketball coming back to Tralee under the Garvey’s Tralee Warriors banner and we all know how successful that club has been over the last few years. Jimmy has coached at all levels of the game and Kieran while still playing is also coaching and running camps for future generations.

The Federation of Irish Sport reckons there is over 450, 000 volunteers in sport across Ireland and that these volunteers dedicate over 37.2 million hours of volunteering across 13,000+ sporting club.

Kerry certainly have more than their fair share of these volunteers and now is the chance to nominate them. As Donaghy said at the launch just telling someone who has been important in your sporting journey that you put their name forward will be a lovely way of recognising them.

And hopefully maybe a few will reach the highest level and get that national recognition.

Bookings at kierandonaghybasketball@ gmail.com with a limited edition Kobe Bryant jersey for the participants NO LUCK FOR MARK: It was a frustrating weekend on the rallying front for Tralee co-driver Mark Kane as he and driver Phillip Allen didn’t make it to the finish in their Hyundai i20 R5 in the Rally di Alba in Italy. There was however plenty of Kerry joy as Killarney’s Paul Nagle was calling the notes for Craig Breen and the dup took the win in the same car as Mark.

There was also some sad news in rallying circles when the death of Brian Patterson was announced after a short illness. Brian and his wife Liz were present at nearly all the Kerry rallies every year producing their end of stage bulletins which were invaluable in the days before social media to keep fans update on the progress of the event.

The Patterson’s have also been one of the main suppliers of Pace notes to competitors at rallies up and down the country and he will be fondly remembered by everyone associated with rallying.

QUIRKE

2ND ANNIVERSARY Treasured memories of Tom Quirke, 48 Casement's Avenue, Upper Rock Street, Tralee, 7th August 2018, age 70 years.

40th Anniversary of our son James Quirke, 20th July 1980, age 7 years.

I must go down to the seas again, To the lonely sea and the sky, And all I ask is a tall ship, and a star to steer her by, And the wheel’s kick, and the wind’s song, And the white sail’s shaking, and a grey mist on the sea’s face, And a grey dawn breaking.

I must go down to the seas again, For the call of the running tide, Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied, And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying, And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying.

I must go down to the seas again, To the vagrant gypsy life, To the gull’s way and the whale’s way, Where the wind’s like a whetted knife, And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow-rover, And quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick’s over.

Those that live in our hearts, are never truly lost.

We hold you close to us in our thoughts and hearts eternally, your loving wife Maureen and family.

Ar Dheis Dé go raibh a h-anam.

The Anniversary Mass will be offered for Tom Quirke, James Quirke and all of your intentions on August 9th at 10am online from St. Brendan’s Church, Tralee.
