Charitable donation has always been a feature of Irish society between flag days, church gate collections, lotto draws, bingo, door to door collections, clothes banks, fundraising events and now postal, social media, television, and newspaper appeals. Considering the sheer number of charities in Ireland it is a very competitive space so how can one know that the Charity is genuine. The Charities Regulator was set up in 2014 as an independent body to regulate charities in Ireland. www.charitiesregulator.ie . Its function is to maintain a public register of charities and ensure that they comply with the charity’s legislation. It also supports best practice in the administration, management, and governance of charities.

Michael and Eunice can check the charities public register online in relation to any charity they wish to donate to. The Public Register of Charities contains information about more than 11,400 charities that have been registered with the Charities Regulator. The search should reveal comprehensive details about a charity, including their charitable purpose and objectives, trustees, number of staff employed, annual reports filed etc. 2021 was the first year that charities were required to report on their compliance with the Charities Governance Code when filing their annual report with the Charities Regulator. The Governance Code promotes best practice in Charitable organisations. If any member of the public has concerns about a charitable organisation they can bring them to the attention of the regulator. The regulator can inspect charitable organisations. The government is currently producing draft legislation which aims to improve the ability of the Charities Regulator to conduct its statutory functions, ensuring more proportionate regulation leading to greater public trust and confidence in the charities sector. Ideally in relation to promoting confidence with the public material produced by the charity should include The registered charity’s name, logo, Registered Charity Number (RCN) and contact details (including phone, email and website address). E.g., if it is a clothing bank these details should be on the bank.

KSC at the National Community Games

Kingdom Swimming club was well represented at the recent National Community Games Swimming Finals with a number of our swimmers representing their respective areas across a number of individual & relay events., and taking home 4 individual & 1 t eam medals to the Kingdom.

See www.miriammcgillycuddy.com for map to office.

Michael and Eunice in their advancing years are interested in giving to charity as they consider themselves fortunate and well off with their mortgage paid and they are on good pensions so they would like to give back to their community and benefit people at home and abroad. They are wondering what the situation is around giving to charity either by direct gift or will and what they should look out for.

BUDGET

Cost of Living Budget Overview

Ministers, Paschal Donohoe and Michael McGrathʼs Budget has been made having emerged from the Covid 19 pandemic focusing on helping individuals, families and busin esses to deal with rising costs of living. The Budget focuses primarily on significantly increasing welfar e benefits and addresses savings in energy, childcare and healthcare costs. However, the foreseeable increase in the VAT rate from 9% to 13.5% from 1 March 2023 is a significant disappointment for the Kerry tourism industry. Suggestions have been made that a further VAT review may be carried out before then. Such businesses need certainty around pricing for re-opening at that time of year. While the defective products redress scheme has to be financed, the additional 10% levy on concrete products will challenge the building industry further and ultimately impact the end purchaser.

Bia Dingle launches this weekend as Dingle Food Festival returns

The launch of Bia Dingle – The Corca Dhuibhne Food Network, will take place at 11.30am in The Blas Village, Church Car Park, Green Street, Dingle, Co Kerry on Saturday 1 October 2022, as part of the Dingle Food Festival.

Bia Dingle is a dynamic, collaborative, food-focused association representing the whole of the Dingle Peninsula. We are Farmers; Fishers; Producers; Growers; Foragers; Chefs, Restauranteurs; Hosts; Guides; Partners; and Champions, joined in celebration of the food history and heritage of Corca Dhuibhne.

Bia Dingle’s aim is to retain, attract, foster, and celebrate sustainable food producers, products, and traditions of the Dingle Peninsula and our surrounding waters.

Trevis L. Gleason, Chair of Bia Dingle, says “Bia Dingle will weave together the rich strands of food production, manufacture, growing,

farming, fishing and foraging that have developed in a unique way on the Dingle Peninsula over hundreds of years. Add in the restauranteurs, chefs, retailers and those with an interest in food culture and the history of food in Corca Dhuibhne and you have the perfect recipe to grow, promote, inspire and develop a wide-ranging, sustainable food ethos and culture, based on quality, heritage, spirit and community, in this special place that we call home.

Ar scáth a chéile a mhaireann na daoine”

Brian McDermott, award-winning chef and author who will be launching the initiative, said, “The launch of Bia Dingle is an extremely welcome addition to the growing range of food groups in Ireland, and will be of huge benefit and encouragement to the wideranging food community on the Dingle Peninsula. Bringing together growers, producers, retailers, restauranteurs and others to share

their experiences, promote their produce and celebrate their place will strengthen and grow that community, and lead to an even more productive and sustainable industry in Corca Dhuibhne for future generations.”

If you wish to join us to help the food community of Corca Dhuibhne, see how we can help you, or wish to find out more about Bia Dingle, please

visit our website at www.biadingle.ie, or email us at biadingle@gmail.com.

The launch event is open to all, so whether you are heavily involved in the food industry or simply a casual observer, whether you are from Corca Dhuibhne or just passing through, please feel free to come along.

Warriors ready for double retention challenge

The Sports Complex will be rocking on Saturday night as the 2022/2023 baskeball season begins with a mouth-watering Kerry derby. Double defending champions Garvey’s Tralee Warriors (SuperLeague and National Cup holders) will welcome Flexachem Killorglin with both sides having a number of new players on show for the first time.

The Warriors have seen four very strong players depart – Aaron Calixte, Nikola Roso, Ron Elksnis and Brandon Cotton and these are big shoes for the newcomers to fill. Coach John Dowling and Assistants Gareth Moore and Jimmy Diggins have been busy in the off season along with team manager Kathleen Collins and they hope their recruitment experience has seen the right players come in. Fans will be eager to see the 6’2” Swede Andree Michelsson (21 point average in Germany), American

De’Ondre Jackson (who had a 20 point average with NUIG Maree last season) and 6’8” Matija Jokic (under 20 Montenegro international with experience in Iceland and Germany). Once again the local core led by Kieran Donaghy alongside Eoin Quigley, Darragh O’Hanlon, Daniel Jokubaitis and Fergal O’Sullivan will be vital while players like James Fernane, Stephen Bowler and Keelan Crowe have another year’s experience under their belts. It will be an exciting year for St Brendan’s Jack Tobin and Tralee Magic’s, and u18 International, Aiyaras Ousis who are coming into the squad which also contains Zygimantas Kaleta and Aaron and Padraig Fleming. Killorglin, now under the Flexachem banner, have also recruited well and have become a physically stronger and bigger side and will be eager to test themselves against the Warriors. They won’t have forgotten that in this same fixture a few seasons

ago they left Tralee with the win. Garvey’s Tralee Warriors won’t be contemplating anything similar on Saturday night.

And in the Cups – The Cup draws were made this week with the Kerry sides now knowing what they need

to do to reach the Finals weekend early in the New Year.

In the Pat Duffy National Cup Garvey’s Tralee Warriors are away to DBS Eanna in Round 1 with the winners away in Cork to either Neptune or UCC Demons.

A big evening for our u13s on Sunday evening with our Bs in the semi-final and our As in the final of the Central Region Leagu e. Bs played Laune Rangers and came out the victors As played Na G aeil and were defeated by 3 great credit to players and coaches well done.

AND NOW FOR THE GOOD NEWS...

The Rose Head Chef Gets The Nod For Being Green

By Georgie Downes

It’s wonderful to see a surge of interest in sustainability amongst local businesses and even better when their efforts go rewarded. The Sustainable Business Impact Awards, an initiative by Chambers Ireland, is one such platform where businesses can showcase their best practice in sustainable development and social responsibility and it is open to companies of all sizes across Ireland. The Rose Hotel have been showing up for the environment big-style and their head chef, Odran Lucy, was the first person in the world

to successfully complete a brand-new qualification for Environmental Sustainability Management in Hospitality. Last week, Odran made it to the final of the Sustainability Business Impact Awards, and although he didn’t win, being a finalist was in itself a fantastic achievement for the Tralee chef.

“Being environmentally aware is important, so we’re happy and excited to do our bit to reduce waste. It will only have positive results for all of us down the line,” Odran,

Kevin gets the call…

The National Training Centre (NTC) in Dublin has called on KP Therapy’s Kevin Prunty to lead the higher diploma program in neuromuscular therapy (NMT). Kevin holds a MSc in NMT which was jointly awarded by NTC and the University of Chester and has been teaching NMT for nearly 15 years. Kevins practice is located in the Brandon Conference Centre just next to the Brandon Gym & Leisure centre .

The higher diploma course was launched in 2001 at the JBMT conference in Dublin and is celebrated as

the combining of American and European approaches to myofascial pain and dysfunction. Students have included fully qualified sports therapists, physiotherapists, osteopaths, Amatsu practitioners and other healthcare professionals. Working on the higher diploma exposes Kevin to some of the greatest authorities in the world and keeps KP Therapy on the leading edge in chronic pain and injury treatment.

“The kitchen of any hotel generates a lot of waste, but I’m very focused on it now. We’re all motivated to recycle as much as possible. It’s even spilled into my home life.

Before, my recycle bin took two weeks to fill and my refuse bin took one. Now it’s the other way around.”

MTU & HSE Partner on a New Approach for Enduring Mental Illness Recovery

Physical activity, nutrition and digital technology can improve health outcomes for those with enduring mental illness.

MTU is committed to regional development, including improving health outcomes for those in the community or residential care with severe or enduring mental illness (EMI). Local and global experts are collaborating on new interventions that can be part of the standard treatment protocols. New training on human rights will ensure staff and service users can access a broader range of treatment options to complement existing pharmaceutical, psychiatric and psychological choices. People living with enduring mental illness often experience physical and social health consequences. MTUs Aclú initiative is developing and evaluating new treatment options to tackle this. Aclú meets UN calls for action on SDG 3 Good Health and Well-being, Target 3.4: Ensure a reduction of mortality from non-communicable diseases and promote mental health. Mairéad Carolan, Senior Clinical Psychologist, HSE, says this is about ensuring people can create a good life, make a home, engage

in meaningful work or learning and build good relationships with family, friends and people in their community.

At the launch, MTU President Professor Maggie Cusack thanked the organisations that have come together to deliver change. Aclú is a new multidisciplinary initiative involving partners from MTU, the HSE, the Mental Health Commission, Dartmouth University in the US, University of Manchester, Southeast Technological University, Bielefeld University Germany, Kerry Recreation Sports Partnership and Enable Ireland.

Dr Joe Firth of the University of Manchester, who coordinated the Lancet mental health commission work, said physical activity improves fitness and cognition while reducing symptoms. Dr Kelly Aschbrenner, Associate Professor of Psychiatry Dartmouth, US, said that studies have shown that programs that support physical activity and healthier diets can improve the health of people

with EMI through weight loss and fitness, even among those taking antipsychotic medications. Weight gain was prevented in over 50% of participants in her Dartmouth study. Dr Evan Matthews of the South East Technological University spoke of the importance of co-design work to shape interventions for the local context.

Aclú lead researchers Dr Tara

Coppinger and Catherine Carty, UNESCO Chair Manager, said the next two years would see programmes designed, delivered and evaluated in the southwest. Aclú will provide solutions aligned with global priorities to improve health outcomes and empower recovery in enduring mental illness in the southwest and beyond.

THE TEAM AT THE CLINIC ARE HERE TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS ON COSMETIC AND HAIR RESTORATION ISSUES.

I see you have a special offer for the face treatment, Tribella. Can you tell me more about the Tribella treatment please? Jane.

Hi Jane, One of Harley Street’s most popular treatments, the “Tribella” is also available in Tralee at the CHRC, Bon Secours Hospital.

This award-winning, FDA approved treatment is the latest in non-invasive treatments for smoother, clearer and younger looking skin. It is a complete facial rejuvenation therapy which combines the power of three unique treatments.

The first step of Tribella is IPL, which will work on pigmenta tion and redness. The result is glowing, younger-looking skin. The second step is skin tightening with amazing results on skin laxity which also diminishes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The final step of Tribella is skin resurfacing, which naturally boosts collagen and elastin production for total skin renewal and resurfacing.

All our skin types and concerns are different and so the number of sessions required will depend on the individual. Allow the next day for downtime as the skin must be kept completely dry for 24 hours; no water or makeup or creams on the skin, so early in the week is great for this treatment if you have weekend plans!

Mary

One of them says, “ We are trying to determine the height of the pole.” So the blonde quickly opens her purse, removes a spanner, unscrews the bolts and lays the pole flat on the ground. She then pulls out a measuring tape, measures the distance between the two ends, tells it to the two men and walks away.

The trembling monkey says, “You are, mighty lion! Later, the lion confronts a ox and fiercely bellows, “Who is the mightiest of all jungle animals?”

The terrified ox stammers, “Oh great lion, you are the mightiest animal in the jungle!”

On a roll now, the lion swaggers up to an elephant and roars, “Who is mightiest of all jungle animals?”

Fast as lightning, the elephant snatches up the lion with his trunk, slams him against a tree half a dozen times leaving the lion feeling like it’d been run over by a safari wagon. The elephant then stomps on the lion till it looks like a corn tortilla and ambles away. The lion lets out a moan of pain, lifts his head weakly and hollers after the elephant“Just because you don’t know the answer, you don’t have to get so upset about it!”

DOC, I CAN’T STOP SINGING ‘THE GREEN, GREEN GRASS OF HOME.’”

“That sounds like Tom Jones Syndrome.” “Is it common?” Well, “It’s Not Unusual.”

GUY GETTING TEST RESULTS FROM HIS DOCTOR AND THE DOCTOR SAYS “WE HAVE SOME GOOD NEWS AND SOME BAD NEWS”

The winter months, without a doubt, put more stress on our bodies. There is less natural daylight and, therefore, less vitamin D to be had. It is colder so our bodies have to work harder to keep up our core temperature. We spend more time indoors with central heating on and without a lot of fresh air. To help reduce the risk of colds and viruses it is important to support our immune systems, starting now. Your immune system relies on a full complement of essential amino acids (proteins), vitamins, minerals, fibre and phytonutrients for full body health.

My recommendations are: Eat wholefoods as close to their natural form as possible. Avoid processed foods and foods high in sugar and salt. Include foods which are naturally antibacterial such as garlic, local honey, lemon, ginger and turmeric, all of which you will find in the healthstore.

VITAMIN D: Low levels may leave a person with a weakened immune system and more prone to catching colds and viruses. Vitamin D rich foods include oily fish (salmon and smoked mackerel), eggs and fortified foods. A Vitamin D supplement will ensure you maintain your levels throughout the winter months. Available in capsule, spray or drops.

VITAMIN C is also important to support your overall immunity, so include foods such as Kale, broccoli, peppers, citrus fruits and berries in your diet. Here in the healthstore we have a number of options to help you increase your intake of VITAMIN C in capsules, powder and liquid. Healthy probiotic bacteria will also help enhance your immune function. Boost this good bacteria by taking a good quality probiotic for a couple of weeks. I would recommend choosing a brand such as VIRIDIAN, QUEST or OPTIBAC, which you will find with us instore.

SELENIUM: crucial for the immune system to function normally. Found in foods such as brazil nuts, fish, meat, chicken and game. A selenium supplement is a good way to ensure you maintain your levels to support your overall health.

ZINC: helps to develop white blood cells, the immune cells that help fight off foreign bacteria and viruses. Zinc is found in oysters, shellfish and lean red meat. Vegetarians will find zinc in pumpkin and other seeds, fortified cereals and low fat yoghurt and milk. Zinc supplements are available in different strengths so have a chat with us and we will recommend a strength to suit your specific needs.

Other natural immune support products which are available in the Healthstore include:

ECHINACEA: works to support your immune system. ELDERBERRY: packed with anti-viral and anti-bacterial properties. DR WOLZ: A fantastic all in one immune support product. Also helps with the reduction of fatigue. For additional advice on how to strengthen your immune system this winter call in and we will discuss these and other products with you.

Until next time, stay healthy
