LEGAL MATTERS CORNER MIRIAM MC GILLICUDDY ANSWERS YOUR LEGAL QUERIES
Fire Works
The year is flying by and as soon as the kids go back to school our attention turns towards Halloween, whilst this is a wonderfully spooky time for most we must be aware of the risks and legislation surrounding fireworks. So what exactly is a firework and where, if anywhere, is it safe to let them off. What does firework mean under the law? The law gives a very exact and easy to understand definition of a firework. Fireworks, because they are explosives, and include the ingredients, Potassium Nitrate, Aluminium Powder, Sulfuric Powder, Charcoal Powder, Titanium Powder, which are not only highly explosive and poisonous but burn at 1000 Celsius to 1600 Celsius are regulated under the Explosives Act 1875, (as amended by the Criminal Justice Act 2006), which requires that fireworks, can only be imported into Ireland under licence, and stored and sold in accordance with the explosives law. Fireworks are now also subject to new EU legislation. A firework includes all those devices which burn and explode to give a loud noise and visual effect, interesting to note that bangers are classed as fireworks and these mentioned need a very specific licence to import and use. There is also a category of fireworks called low hazard fireworks that are not illegal to possess without a licence and these include items such as party-poppers, certain sparklers, Christmas crackers and strips of bangers or caps for toy guns. Check for the CE mark when purchasing these. While low hazard fireworks are available for sale to the public, it is an offence to sell low hazard fireworks to anyone under 16 years of age. If you ignite a firework in any place, in the eyes of the Law you are guilty of an offence. This does not have to be in a public road, it can also mean your own back garden. Throwing a firework at a person, animal or house is also strictly prohibited by Law and the Garda have the authority to arrest you without a warrant if caught. So can anyone have a fire work party for a special occasion? Yes, but the fireworks must be licensed for import and only if a professional fireworks operator is used. If you want to import fireworks into Ireland you must apply for a licence or get a professional fireworks operator to apply, on your behalf, to the Department of Justice and Equality. Legal Quip: I want to be something really scary for Halloween this year so I’m dressing up as a phone battery at 2%.

With the kind sponsorship of the Institute of Technology, Tralee, an early evening fundraising event in aid of Fenit RNLNI is taking place shortly. The evening will provide an opportunity for the Culinary Arts students at the college to showcase their talents and skills in a restaurant style setting by providing a 3 course fish dinner.

Awards will be presented for the Overall Winner, Certificates of Distinction, Certificates of Merit and the Voluntary Group Award. Speaking at the launch Chief Superintendent Tom Myers stated “An Garda Síochána are delighted to be associated with the Lee Strand Kerry Garda Youth Achievement Awards. We often underestimate the worth of our youth who are both innovative and important
to our future. It is important to recognise their excellence in the area of sports, arts, culture, charities or caring for a relative or friend. The awards have a positive effect on our wider community and I would like to extend our appreciation and thanks to Lee Strand for their continued sponsorship and support over the past 20 years.” John O’Sullivan, General Manager, Lee Strand stated “Lee Strand has a strong commitment to supporting initiatives within the local community and we are delighted to support the Kerry Garda Youth Achievement Awards for 20 years. The awards provide a great opportunity to celebrate and recognise the achievements of the young people of Kerry, who have made a positive impact within their local community.”
The closing date for receipt of nominations is Friday, December 8th, 2017. Any member of the public can nominate a young person whom they feel has made a contribution to their local area. Nominations are accepted from individuals, community and voluntary groups, schools and youth clubs/organisation. The winners will be selected by a panel of judges who are community volunteers
from around the county under the chairmanship of Chief Superintendent Tom Myers, An Garda Síochána. Nominations are available from any Garda Station in Kerry; K.D.Y.S. Office in Tralee, Killarney and Listowel or by contacting Tralee Garda Station on 066 7102311. Nomination forms are also available to download on www. leestrand.ie
TRALEE CREDIT UNIONS COMES OUT ON TOP AT NATIONAL CREDIT TEAM AWARDS Friday 13th unlucky for some but not for Tralee Credit Union who will record the date as reaching a significant milestone in their history. Last Friday the 13th, at a Gala Luncheon at the 2017 Credit Team of the Year Awards in the Louis Fitzgerald Hotel in Dublin they were crowned national winners in two categories the “Financial Services Team of the Year” and “Credit Union Credit Team of the Year.” Later that evening they were awarded “Corporate Social Responsibility Finalist” at the Kerryman Business Awards in Ballygarry House Hotel and Spa in Tralee. Speaking to Declan Flood, Chief Executive of the Irish Credit Management Training and event organiser of the Credit Team of the Year Awards in Dublin “We had 150 present at this year’s awards ceremony dealing with all aspects of credit from International to Consumer, from Trade Credit to Credit Unions and from Credit Management Software to Risk. 8
TRALEE ADVERTISER
Each category produced a worthy winner as selected by an expert panel of Judges, with the awards presented by Bobby Kerr, well known businessman and broadcaster. The awards enjoyed the support of a number of high profile sponsors and the winners included a number of household name. Credit Teams are the unsung heroes of business. The credit teams are charged with granting credit responsibly and ensuring the timely collection of all money due, this can be a difficult task, and the people who make it happen seldom get the recognition they deserve, even though Friday 20th October 2017
cash flow is the life blood of every business.” Speaking to Tralee Credit Union’s CEO Pa Laide about the awards “Tralee Credit Union were very privileged and delighted to be shortlisted and acknowledged at both award ceremonies on Friday. To win the “Financial Services Team of the Year” and “Credit Union, Credit Team of the Year” at the National Credit Team Awards in Dublin amongst our peers in the financial services industry is a significant achievement for Tralee Credit Union. It’s timely we have just completed our year end with tremendous success. Results like these don’t just
happen they are a result of hard work and dedication from the board, management and staff and loyalty and trust of members.” We had a great night celebrating our success at the Kerryman Business Awards later that evening and were delighted to be a Finalist in their “Corporate Social Responsibility” category- a category we are very proud to be associated with and acknowledged for the strong links we have with our members and local community and it was great to celebrate our awards locally on the night.”

In order to have IPTV your broadband speed should be over 10 MB and it should be connected directly to the modem with a cable not Wi-Fi ,depending on the box you are using. For example, if it is a Mag254 box you can set the buffer size to 5 seconds. It is also a good idea to restart your modem for time to time. Check your internet speed at peak times. It could be your providers fault ,not yours. Some IPTV services are illegal and the broadcasters are always trying to disrupt the services so buyer beware.

HELLO MY BEAUTIFUL FRIENDS, I HOPE YOU’RE ALL HAVING AN AMAZING WEEK! I have been doing a lot of beauty talk over on my Instagram Stories, I love it! It’s great because I can do Polls to see what people are interested in seeing. This week already I did a first impression of the new Huda Beauty foundation, a tutorial on everyday glam makeup and a 10 favourites. So if you’re interested in seeing more beauty from me, head over to Instagram @bexblah. Last week, I got my nails done by Gintare in House of Glamour and I am OBSESSED! The last two times I have gone to get my nails done I have gone to her and I am so impressed. When it comes to my nails I am the most indecisive person ever so I just let Gintare do whatever she want with regards to design and colour. They have turned out SO fab both times. I actually just booked my nail appointment for Christmas week as the bookings are coming into House of Glamour fast! So just a little reminder, if you want gorge nails for the Festive period, make sure to get your appointment booked early. I hope you all have an amazing week!
Rebecca PRODUCT OF THE WEEK!
So I recently rediscovered my Clarisonic, it was out of battery for a few weeks and I kept on forgetting to charge it! So when I started using it again last week I fell in love with it all over again. It gives your skin such a good proper cleanse and it feels so soft and even afterwards(I have a lot of texture in my skin). In 60 seconds, The Clarisonic removes 6 times more makeup, dirt & sebum than using your hands. It can be used twice a day on ANY skin type as it is so gentle on the skin. The Clarisonic oscillates as opposed to vibrating, so it does not pull or age the skin like some of the cheaper alternatives. I think it’s such a good step to add into your daily skincare routine, it’s so quick easy and effective! I was actually in CH Tralee this week, and they have an amazing deal on The Clarisonic at the Lancome Counter. The set pictured here is only 134 euro! You get a Clarisonic Mia 2, a full size Lancome Micellar Water and a full size Gel Eclat face wash to use with your Clarisonic. If you’re interested in finding out more about The Clarisonic, call into Helen on the Lancome Counter! I 100% recommend The Clarisonic, it’s also a great gift idea for the Beauty Junkie in your life!

FITNESS!
HELLO MY STRONG STRONG FRIENDS, I HOPE YOU’RE ALL HAVING A GREAT WEEK Last week I talked all about the benefits of weight training, this week I’m going to talk about the importance of cardio.
Now when I say cardio is important I don’t mean jogging excessively on the treadmill for hours, hating every second, punishing yourself for that ‘bad food’ you ate. NO. I’m talking about doing different exercises that make you feel good and improve your cardiovascular health while doing so. It might be swimming, boxing, a gym class, walking the dog, cycling anything that gets you up and moving and feeling good! I used to hate ‘cardio’ because what cardio meant to be was doing the same exercise EVERY time. Aka jogging for 30 mins. When I started switching up the cardio workouts I was doing, introducing swimming, sprints, interval training, boxing, gym classes etc… I really started enjoying it! I love getting a good sweat on and getting my heart rate up! Doing cardio is important to maintaining a healthy heart. Your heart is the centre of your cardiovascular system, and is vitally responsible for giving your body life!
Of course, doing excessive intense cardio is not good either. It will put your body in a catabolic state and burn your hard earned muscle. Then if you lose too much muscle it will slow down your metabolism in turn making it harder to burn fat. So if you think introducing a training regime where all you do is intense cardio sessions 5 times a week with no weight training, you’re not going to benefit!
training with some weights and get the best of both worlds. All I’m saying is, cardio is not the devil when done correctly. And it will actually help your performance in the weight room.
If you think you have fallen into a rut of either extreme(all weight training or all cardio) just try and introduce something new to switch it up a little. Of course you can do things like HIIT
Rebecca Any gym supplements that I use I get from MyProtein. I love their whey protein, favourite flavours are, Salted Caramel, Chocolate Brownie and Vanilla!
I have a discount code that gets you 25% OFF your first order over €30 REBECCA-R5OS. 18

Looking and Feeling Good During Pregnancy Pregnancy and early motherhood is a very special time for a woman and both mother and baby will have additional needs, some of which can easily be provided for through good diet and nutrition. It is important that most of what your body requires now, in particular, is achieved by maintaining a healthy, balanced diet. Pregnancy Supplements should not be used as a substitute for a healthy diet. They can, however, help if you think you are not eating well, or if you are feeling too sick to eat much. During this special time you will have an increased demand for vitamins and minerals, some of which are calcium, folic acid, iron, fibre and protein. (All of which come in supplement form, if preferred.) Should you need to supplement, there are some pre-natal nutrients specially formulated to safeguard your dietary requirements throughout all of your pregnancy, some of which include NHP Ante Natal support 60 tabs, take 2 per day. Another would be Solgar Prenatal nutrients 60 tabs also 2 per day and may be continued during breast feeding if desired. Some of the other supplements to consider are: • Floradix: Helps maintain healthy iron levels, is non-constipating and very gentle on the stomach (Tip: Take vitamin C with iron for better absorption) • Probiotics: Supporting immunity during and after pregnancy helps increase your good gut flora and is also beneficial to baby if breastfeeding • Omega 3: Helps support baby’s brain, eye and nerve function during pregnancy (Always choose one formulated for use during pregnancy) TIP: Any sign of stretch marks or dry skin? DON’T PANIC! Be sure to take some time daily to nourish and moisturise your skin, paying particular attention to the tummy! Remember to keep your creams, oils etc. chemical-free and check out some of the pregnancy oil blends available in store. Until next time...STAY HEALTHY!
IMPORTANT TO KNOW: Taking Folic Acid may help reduce the risk of your baby developing a neural tube defect, such as spina bifida

Danny, from Brendans Park, Tralee started working with his father, Paudie Hobbert at the tender age of 15, Says Danny... I love working with all things related to wood ...Timber ...its my passion... so it was always my goal to open my own store " We only stock the best of products ..but that doesnt mean they're the dearest ...there is always value to be had " says Danny . We recently secured the Pergo range of flooring and I believe we are the largest stockists in Kerry and have it exclusive here in Tralee " Not only does Timberland stock quality products but they also offer a bespoke fitting service of everything they sell ."We want to see our end product looking really well and believe that by fitting it ourselves , we can achieve just that " Dont worry about your old floor , Danny will also take that away as part of the Timberland service . Timber floors are great for giving a lift to a room or the whole house and dont require a lot of maintenance but Timberland stock all the maintenance products that you could need . Why not drop in and go through the huge range of samples that Danny and his team have on display. The have over 100 styles in Store... They're at the top of the Rock !

HEALTHY RECIPES for 2017
Time waits for no man!
I find this time of year I’m always short on time for some reason, probably because the evenings are getting shorter and it just seems that way, so here are some easy & quick dinner ideas to help you maximise your time !
TUSCAN CHICKEN CASSEROLE
INGREDIENTS • • • • • • • • • •
4 cups chicken stock 1 bunch Tuscan kale, chopped 4 cups chicken meat, from a roast chicken 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 3 tablespoons finely chopped garlic 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh rosemary 1/4 cup all-purpose flour Sea salt Freshly ground black pepper 1 1/2 cups fresh breadcrumbs
METHOD
Step 1 - Preheat the oven to 175c Step 2 - In a medium saucepan, bring the stock to a boil. Blanch the kale in the stock until tender, about 8 minutes. Transfer the kale to a baking dish with a slotted spoon, pressing the liquid back into the saucepan with the stock. Boil the stock until reduced to 3 cups. Toss the chicken with the kale in the baking dish. Step 3 - In a medium saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil over medium high heat until hot. Stir in 2 tablespoons of the garlic and the rosemary and cook, stirring until golden, about 4 minutes. Whisk in the flour and whisk, 1 minute. Whisk in the stock and bring to a boil, whisking. Boil the mixture until slightly thickened, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then pour over the chicken and kale in the baking dish. Step 4 - Toss the breadcrumbs with the remaining 1 tablespoon each oil and garlic, then sprinkle evenly over the casserole.
POTATO, LEEK AND FROMAGE BLANC FRITTATA
INGREDIENTS
This recipe gets its extra-creamy texture from fromage blanc, an extremely soft cow’s-milk cheese with a sour cream-like tang • • • • • • •
2 medium potatoes, unpeeled (3/4 pound) 2 tablespoons butter 2 leeks, white and tender green parts only, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced Salt and freshly ground black pepper 10 large eggs 1/3 cup milk 4 ounces fromage blanc or crumbled feta cheese (1 cup)
METHOD Step 1 - Preheat the oven to 165. In a medium saucepan, cover the potatoes with water and bring to a boil. Boil the potatoes until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly, then cut into 1/2-inch dice. Step 2 - In a 10-inch nonstick ovenproof pan,melt the butter. Add the leeks and cook over moderate heat until tender, about 4 minutes. Add the potatoes and cook for 3 minutes longer. Season with salt and pepper. Step 3 - In a large bowl, whisk the eggs with the milk and season with salt and pepper. Pour the eggs over the leeks and potatoes and cook for 5 minutes without stirring. Dollop the fromage blanc or sprinkle the feta cheese over the leeks and potatoes. Transfer the pan to the oven and bake until the eggs are just set in the center, about 18 minutes. Slide the frittata onto a serving plate. Cut into wedges and serve. Recipes by
Step 5 - Bake the casserole until the filling is bubbling and the crumbs are golden and crisp, 35 to 45 minutes.

LAUGHTER ....THE BEST MEDICINE ! ONE DAY A MAN HEARS THAT A DISTANT UNCLE PASSED AWAY
He’s a little sad, but only a little, for they barely knew each other. Then, a few days later, a package arrives. It contains his inheritance from the estate: A violin and a painting. He has no idea what to do with them. After pondering the matter, he takes them to an appraiser. Not too long later the appraiser calls him: “I’ve finished my analysis, and I’ve got some good news. There’s no doubt at all that what you have is a genuine Van Gogh and a genuine Stradivarius.” The man is ecstatic: “I can sell these for millions!” The appraiser says “Well, you can sell them, and they’ll fetch some money for their novelty value. But not millions. You see, the truth is, Stradivarius wasn’t much of a painter... and Van Gogh made lousy violins.”

gallery of luxury cars. He, in high spirits, decides to add to his car collection and buys a brand new Lamborghini Huracan. Then, he spends the next 2 hours driving around, showing off his car, and waving to pedestrians. Nearing the end of his day, he parks in a restaurant parking lot and gets out but suddenly another car slides into the space next to him and rips the door clean off! The man, infuriated, yells in anger and whips out his phone and dials 911. He yells at the dispatcher saying, “This man just ripped the door clean off my new Lambo! I demand you send an officer! Arrest him! Shoot him! The dispatcher replies, “sir, um, this kind of issue doesn’t deserve a 911 call—” “No! I paid very good money for this car and I demand you send an officer at this instant!” “Alright sir, he’s on his way.” When the officer arrives, the rich man is already all up in the officers face, exclaiming how this ignorant man destroyed his new car. The officer yells back, “You disgust me! Your materialistic traits have kept you from realizing that not only did the door get torn off the car, but so did your arm!” The man looks down at his arm and exclaims, “Oh no, my Rolex!!”

BLUES BATTLE TO AVOID RELEGATION THIS SUNDAY!
Kerins O Rahillys Seniors take on KIlcummin this Sunday at 1pm in Austin Stack Park in a relegation battle as losing this match would see the club demoted to Intermediate Status for the 2018 season .
EAMONN FITZMAURICE WILL remain on as Kerry manager until 2020, after his reappointment was ratified by the Kerry County Board this week. Fitzmaurice has been handed a two-year extension to his current term in charge of the Kingdom’s senior football team, meaning the 2018 season will be his sixth at the helm. The 41-year-old had been ratified for a further two years 12 months ago, and received the support of the players and county board to be given an extra year. The current management team will remain in place but additions will be made to the backroom team.” Fitzmaurice took over the role in 2012 and guided Kerry to All-Ireland success in 2014, but came in for criticism on the back of a disappointing summer just gone.

TORQUING CARS! DRIVER PULLED OVER ON MOTORWAY FOR DANGEROUSLY TINTED CAR WINDOWS FITTED TO HIS TINY FIAT 500
A driver was pulled over by traffic police for having dangerously tinted windows fitted to his tiny Fiat 500 - including his front windscreen. The man was pulled over on a motorway while using the outlawed tints on both his front and side windows. Laws in Britain state windows must let at least 75% of light through the windscreen and 70% of light through the sides. But Surrey Police caught the driver using tints letting through just 45% - which can result in a fine and the vehicle being taking off the road until it is sorted. By comparison, a normal pair of sunglasses will let through about 20% of light. Surrey Police said on its traffic cops Twitter account: “#M25 J8-9. Tinted windows all round including windscreen at 45%. Illegal VRM’s. #optrivium” A photo shows the inside of the souped up Fiat is barely visible through the darkened windows. The car, which is white on the lower half and grey on the upper, also appears to have a customised registration plate ending ‘5OLD’.
END OF THE ROAD FOR SAT NAVS - AS JOHN LEWIS REMOVES THEM FROM ITS SHELVES Sat Navs have gone the way of the road map as a decline in sales means John Lewis will no longer stock them in stores. The now-outdated devices are listed as top of the list of items being “left behind” this year in John Lewis’s 2017 annual retail report. The once-considered essential car devices have been in decline for a number of years, with leading brand TomTom reporting shrinking sales for around half a decade. These days many new cars come with sat-nav built into the dashboard, while a number of free navigation apps are readily available on smartphones. This means there is often no need to buy a separate device.Now sales have fallen to such an extent that the retailer has completely pulled them from shelves, choosing to sell them online only. Customers are now solely using their mobile phones with apps such as Google Maps or Waze automatically updating themselves for the latest directions or relying on their inbuilt car Sat Nav for navigation.”
MERCEDES RECALLS 400,000 CARS IN UK OVER FAULT THAT CAUSES AIRBAG TO DEPLOY
Mercedes-Benz is recalling 400,000 cars in the UK alone over an electrical fault that can cause airbags to go off by mistake. The fault affects its best-selling executive and family models, leading to the recall of about half the fleet sold since 2011. Mercedes said that there had been 30 cases worldwide of airbags deploying prematurely as a result of the problem although none had been reported in the UK. The fault had caused minor injuries in some cases but no fatalities. The models affected include the A-Class, B-Class, C-Class, and E-Class, and CLA, GLA, and GLC ranges, built between November 2011 and July 2017. The fix takes about an hour and involves replacing a clock spring in the steering column. In some cases, the clock spring can fail so that when the driver turns the steering wheel, some wires do not earth properly. That can cause wires to ‘short circuit’ or create an ‘electrical discharge’ which then triggers the air-bags prematurely. Mercedes said the cars are safe to drive under normal conditions. But owners are warned that if a red airbag warning light appears on the dashboard they should immediately call Mercedes’ roadside assistance. The Mercedes-Benz recall is the biggest to hit the German luxury car manufacturer. The latest recall follows hot on the heels of the identification of a fault in the starter component of some models built between 2015 and 2017 that risked causing fire. Mercedes said in March it was planning to recall about one million cars worldwide including 75,000 in the UK over the starter component that could overheat. The problem had been linked to 51 fires, with about 30 in the US. 28

TALKING SPORT WITH THE TRALEE ADVERTISER
with “The Voice” Pat Harnett
FAI NATIONAl P.R.O. OF THE YEAR PAUL GALVIN FOR KERRY – IN THE FUTURE: Paul Galvin was on the Ray Darcy Radio Show during the week talking about his work in the fashion industry and his big show in the Brandon Hotel this Friday night. Paul will be debuting his Story of Shelby Autumn/ Winter 17 Collection where his designs will be on the catwalk alongside a number of other high profile labels. Also at the show will be Joe Canning, the Galway hurler who has presented a signed jersey for a draw which will also include jerseys from Munster rugby’s Peter O’Mahony and Brentford’s John Egan. All proceeds from the show will go to Paul’s clubs of Lixnaw and Finuge for developments that are set to include floodlights and pitch upgrades. Now in case you think you are reading the wrong column back to sport and amongst the topics that were covered in an interesting interview were Paul’s renewed interest in football. He said that he had watched the DVD of the All Ireland on a number of occasions to see “where football is at and where it is going”. When asked if he was analysing these games with a view to getting into coaching in the future he said he would not rule it out and that “while after retiring I didn’t watch much football for a while I am watching much more now with a renewed interest. And when you are interested in a topic you have to delve into it as much as you can and see where it takes you.” I am sure if Paul Galvin did get into coaching and / or management starting at club level there would be any number of clubs and after a while counties willing to take him on. The question now is could he be a future Kerry manager? His work ethic, experience and level of fitness achieved would certain suggest he has the ideal building blocks to make it as a very successful coach and or manager. Also in the interview Paul gave his full backing to Colm Coopers upcoming testimonial and says that with so many others making money from the GAA where is the harm in players getting something at the end of their careers.

Thoughts will then turn to next year with some of these players underage again next season. The VITHIT Kerry Schoolboys Girls League and the Kerry District League will now review their seasons at u15’s and u17’s and look into plans and budgets for next season plus the possibility of entering u13 and u19 teams.
