TIPS FOR YOU AND YOUR PARTNERSnoring happens when you can’t move air freely through yournose and mouth during sleep. It occurs when the soft tissuestructures of the upper airway collapse onto themselves andvibrate against each other as we attempt to move air throughthem.People with very loud snoring are likely to cause considerable problems

for their sleep partners. Also it can lead to poor sleep and daytime fatigue,irritability and increased heath problems for the person who snores.According to the Irish Sleep Apnoea Trust, 69% of us will snore at somestage in our lives. Bearing in mind that a loud snorer can reach 90 decibels– around the same volume as truck traffic – it can also strain a relationship.As everyone might snore for a different reason it is most important to findout why you snore: Alcohol or sleeping pills can cause a marked relaxationof the throat muscles making snore more notable in most people. Also agecan contribute as your throat becomes narrower and the muscle tone in yourthroat decreases as you reach middle age and beyond. Nasal and sinusproblems, such as when you have a cold, can make inhalation difficult andcreate a vacuum in the throat leading to snoring.Last but not least, being overweight can have a negative impact, too,

because excess fat deposits in your throat narrows the airway space. Auseful way to pinpoint the reasons why you snore is to keep a sleep diary tomonitor snoring.Thankfully, sleeping in separate bedrooms isn’t the only remedy for

snoring, there are many things you can do on your own to help stopsnoring: Avoid alcohol or sedatives in the evening hours, also do withoutcaffeine and heavy meals within two hours of going to bed. If you areoverweight, even losing a bit of weight can reduce fatty tissue in the backof the throat and decrease or even stop snoring. Keep your bedroom moistwith a humidifier, because dry air can irritate mucous membranes. When itcomes to sleep posture, try to sleep on your side rather than on your back.However, if your own efforts to stop snoring do not help, consult yourdoctor as snoring can sometimes be a warning sign of more seriousproblems. Be particularly aware of the following symptoms: You snore loudand heavily and are tired during the day. Or you stop breathing, gasp orchoke during sleep. If you are looking for more information about snoringand possible solutions please call into McSweeney Pharmacy and we willbe more than happy to answer any queries you may have.

Dancing Down The YearsA story like all stories.....!

Once upon a time in1989 a group ofyoung people fromBonane andKenmare gottogether and decidedthey would reviveset dancing. They introduced ‘highset dancing’ in the area, at firstthis raised a few eye brows as itwas breaking the traditional ‘flatset’ which was danced in thearea at the time, however this sooncaught on and more sets followedin this new style. And like all goodstories it had a happy ending as in 1981 the Sheen Valley set wonthe county final!To commemorate the 30th anniversary of the Sheen Set Dancerswinning the county final in 1981, there will be a dance in theKenmare Bay Hotel on Saturday November 24th, with music bythe Breens. There will be a waltzing competition on the night.The evening will commence at 8pm with a showing of the film‘The Legend and Music of The River Sheen’ which was madethat year. As we are all still around and still able to dance (maybenot as lively as we were 30 years ago!) we would love ifeveryone could come and join us for a night craic agus ceoil. For more information please contact Patsy on 087 2219359,

Working with Kerry CountyCouncil and SneemDevelopment Co-OpSneem Development Co-Op and I haveinvited Kerry County Council seniorofficials to visit the village and attend ameeting. The aim of the meeting is tohighlight the poor state of the roads andfootpaths in Sneem. Kerry County Councilengineers have agreed to try and securesome funding as part of this year’s councilbudget. Sneem Development Co-Op hasdone great work throughout the years andthe lack of progress on the infrastructure isunacceptable. Kerry County Councilconfirmed that Sneem Development Co-Opwill make a presentation to the next meetingof the Killorglin Local Electoral Area.

Footpath and Street Lightingfor on the Major Road andWalk leading to Ard BhearnaEstate

Ard Bhearna Estate with in which a largenumber of young residents live, lacks afootpath and adequate lighting to guidepedestrians to and from town. Effectively,residents are asked to take their lives intheir hands and walk along the N71protected only by a yellow line. I havebrought this issue to Kerry County Counciland proposed a site visit for Councillors andengineers so that they can see forthemselves the dangers faced by all theresidents of the Ard Bhearna Estate anddiscuss the feasibility of plans being drawnup as soon as possible. I have also spokento the County Manager about the issue andasked him to release the budgetary fundsnecessary to undertake this very urgentproject.

Briefing with CongressmanBruce Morrison onUndocumented Irish in theUnited StatesI invited Congressman Bruce Morrison tocome to Leinster House on Tuesday, 13thNovember. The Congressman outlined thecurrent prospects for a resolution on theissue of the undocumented Irish followingthe recent election in the United States.With approximately 50,000 undocumentedIrish in the United States this is a topic ofconcern to many of us as it affects many ofour families and friends. CongressmanMorrison is one of the recognised leaders inthe United States on the immigration issueand is the creator of the Morrison Visa.

Huge cuts to home help hoursmuch be reversedThe huge reduction to home help hours inKerry and throughout the country is havinga devastating effect on thousands offamilies and despite promises from theGovernment to limit these cuts, the realityon the ground is a lot different.

I have raised the plight of many elderlypeople in receipt of home help assistance

that havehad theirhoursslashed ortaken awaycompletely.I have hadcontact withmanyfamilies thathave beendevastatedby thesecuts, theysee no sensewhatsoeverin cruellyreducing

and ending the home help assistance hours.

People in Kerry and throughout the countryare being stripped of their independence,dignity and their right to independent living.These cuts cannot be justified and, I amcalling on the Government in Kerry to putaside party politics and put pressure on theMinister for Health to reverse this decision.

You may recal l that i n one o f my arti cl es a whi l e ago I to l d you o fcatching a trout i n The Caha Lakes whi ch had a decompos ing frogs tuck in i ts gul l et. It surprised me at first when I saw a leg which seemed tobe growing out of either side of its mouth. Well, something similar hashappened again but this time to my friend Eric. As you know, I was not able tofish The Cahas this year, and you will remembers one of the lads who did had anasty experience when he slipped on the slimy rocks on his descent and got abad blow to his head (he is now fully recovered). All this upset pushed Eric’sstory to one side. Fishing one of the upper lakes he hooked and landed a goodsize (for those waters) trout of about 3/4 of a pound. Usually he releases themagain, but this was such a nice plump fish that he decided to keep it for hisbreakfast.On arriving home to put it into the sink and got scissors to slit it open andclean it out. Like me he got a surprise because in the trout’s stomach was amouse, not a small shrew or a doormouse but a fully grown specimen of housemouse, and not decomposed either. Here is the question. One, what was it doing

up on The Caha Mountains and, two, how did the trout catch and indeed swallowit? I know you are thinking, another fisherman's story but truth is oftenstranger than fiction. What worries me is are The Caha Trout a sub species likethe Piranha fish in South America? Davey, who wades out up to his neck whenfishing these lakes, could be attacked by a shoal of frog / mouse eating fishand, instead of the lads helping a man with a bashed head down the mountains,they will bringing down a skeleton from which all the flesh has been eaten, By,gosh, this angling is becoming a dangerous pastime!Michael H and I were asked down to Waterv i l l e to s ee the s ea troutand salmon hatchery and to di s cus s the di fferent probl emsas s o ci ated wi th fi s hing in our area. The enthusiasm of the local clubdown there was fantastic and all credit to them, and we hope success. TheFingerlings (small fish) in the tanks were wonderful to see and they were takingsome of them out that very day to re-stock some streams. Obviously re-stocking does not work everywhere but if one could only get people to worktogether for the common good we would be a mecca for angling tourism here inKenmare. As one person said, a lot of people are only watching each other tosee are they doing more business then them, howmany in their guest house,hotel or shop, instead of all working together to improve business generally intheir areas. Before we came home Michael and I drove up to the top ofWaterville Lake (Lough Currane). The day was bright and sunny but freezingcold. We parked the car with a good view of the lake and had our lunches, theflask’s of hot tea and sandwiches were every welcome and the views across thelake and up to the mountains was something else. What a beautiful area, we arelucky to live here.Idri s was tel l i ng me o f hav ing great sport fi s hi ng fo r mul l et, a mostdifficult fish to catch but he seems to be a master at it. Floury McCarthy R.I.P.and myself got so frustrated trying to catch them years ago that we used toshoot them instead! Floury had a black retriever called Grouse who used to dive

Earlier in the year Imade a submission for the erection of abarrier at the bad bend in Lauragh wheremany traffic accidents occurred. TheCouncil replied that they made a submissionto the National Roads Authority for 2013 asthe deadline for 2012 had passed at thetime, I have again reminded the Council tokeep the pressure on in relation to it.Local Government Reform. One of themost radical of the Government’s reformshas been the abolition of Town Councils,Kenmare never had a Town Council due tonot having a big enough population,however we managed fine without a TownCouncil by having a Councillor in KenmareTown. However other reforms are also totake place at local Government level, theprecise details are not yet known, onepossibility in Kerry is that the number ofelectoral areas is to be reduced from 5 downto 4. I will be campaigning to ensure thatthe Kenmare, Sneem, Kilgarvan, Tuosist

and Bonane areas are kept together in whatever boundary changes are made.Pat Spillane- Jobs strategy for RuralIreland. I am delighted that Minister for theEnvironment, Community & LocalGovernment Phil Hogan has appointed PatSpillane as Chairman of the newCommission for Economic Development ofRural Areas.

Members of the newCommission will not receive a wage and thecosts of the commissions work will beminimal.Capital funding for Youth Projects andPlay Facilities. Although greatimprovements in the area have been made inrecent years for facilities for children andyoung people, people may have ideas foradditional improvements. Minister forChildren & Youth Affairs Frances Fitzgeraldhas announced funding of �2.25 Millionnationally for such projects. If anyone hasany ideas on applying for such grants forour area feel free to contact me to discussmaking an application.Success of Festivals in Kenmare.Welldone to Kenmare Chamber of Commerce &Tourism’s John O’Sullivan and Committee,Helen Mac Dwyer and the social and eventscommittee, all the voluntary organisations,individuals and businesses for makingHalloween extra special in Kenmare thisyear.

I would like to start this month by saying ‘thank you’ to themanagement and staff at the Kenmare Bay Hotel for theircontinued support. They are always happy to help us in whatevercapacity they can and we are truly grateful to themSadly I have to report that KLAWS is struggling financially and therefore

we will have to request certain payments in the future for the service that wegive. We can guarantee help for the animals but no longer totally for free aswe are not able to sustain the amount of unwanted animals coming in, alongside the huge vet bills we have to pay. Please remember that we are a serviceprovided by volunteers and we are very short of volunteers in every areaespecially foster homes, fundraisers and basic help. A number of other rescuecentres have recently closed their doors, we hope to avoid that happening forthe welfare of the animals that need us.

Parliamentary QuestionsThe following are some of the questions I recently put forward:

To ensure that enough funding is in place in 2013 and the yearsahead to keep bowel cancer screening going and that screening isavailable to all people aged between 55 – 74 for bowel cancer.

Thousands of 3rd level students are still waiting to see if they willreceive a grant because of breakdowns in the new online systemwhich was actually intended to speed up the process.

In light of the recent tragedies involving farmers agitating slurrywould it not be sensible for the Department of Agriculture to sendout a helpful informative leaflet about the dangers of toxic gasesfrom slurry and how serious the consequences can be if a person isunaware of the dangers involved.

Borderline.ieI want to congratulate local businessman Mr. Sean Jones on hisoutstanding success in recently winning the Rural Business 2012competition for his new product called Borderline.ie. This is a ringthat can be placed at the base of trees to prevent grass from growingaround them, avoids trees being damaged and makes a nice neatborder around them. It is great, in times of such adversity in thebusiness sector, to see a local man coming up with a new idea andproducing it in Ireland. It certainly has a very bright future as therewill be demand for such a device not just in Ireland but all overEurope.The business has already created employment and I wish him wellin the years ahead with, what is an excellent product at an

affordable price and easy to install. In winning the award thejudges have recognized the endless potential of this device and Iwish the Jones family every good luck with it.

Eastern Relief Road KenmareI have raised in the Dáil with the Minister for Transport LeoVaradkar the need for further funding in Budget 2013 to continueand finalise work on the Eastern Relief Road in Kenmare. This roadwill be a major boost to Kenmare town when completed and I willcontinue to work to ensure that the funding will be provided.

Dental Clinic in KenmareI have been petitioning hard regarding the closure of the DentalClinic at The Health Clinic.See below a letter which I received from Denis Hickey on behalf ofGoretta Crowley, operations Manager of Oral Health in the HSE,with regard to the closure of the Dental Clinic in Kenmare.“Dear Michael,I wish to thank you for your recent letter and enclosed petitionsconcerning the closure of the dental clinic at the health centre inKenmare.The Health Act 2004provided for the HSEand under the Act, theExecutive is required tomanage and deliver, orarrange to be deliveredon its behalf, healthand personal socialservices.As the informationrequested by you comesunder the remit of theHSE yourcorrespondence hasbeen sent to theParliamentary AffairsDivision of the HSEwho will arrange for areply to issue to youdirectly.Your Sincerely,Dr. James Reilly T.D.Minister for Health.”

In what has been a most challenging year for both manyindividuals and businesses, the event proved that withcooperation and support it is possible to raise funds for acommunity project, promote local businesses and providean evening of great entertainment for all involved. Kenmare Bay Hotel supported the event in every way possible and

accommodated rehearsals, complex cat-walk construction and decoration,while the Sneem Hotel lent stage sections which were transported and puttogether by Brian Foley. Willowfield Garden Centre provided plants andcatwalk cover to achieve a garden theme to the show. Tommy Jones andMick Granville acted as ushers and Sarah Mullins and Julieanne O’Connorset up a salon to provide make-up for the girls. Mairead Robinson and Eliana Medeiros Kraut lent their professional

expertise to the event, with Eliana training the girls who wanted to modelfor several weeks prior to the show. Complex and unique choreographywas devised by Eliana for each of the presentations, with the ‘dancing shoe

demonstration’ proving a particular success. Eye catching posters were putup all around South Kerry and West Cork designed by Mary DeclanO’Neill and attractive programmes were designed by Corinna Kinchin.Music and lights were expertly managed by Martin O’Reilly and the wholeevent was captured on video by John McCarthy.A Fashion Show is nothing without the Fashion of course, and so it was

due to the support and enthusiasm of the nine shops involved that the realstyle came out on the night. Neidin Hats had a real ‘Wow’ factor, as didKenmare Shoes, O’Sullivan Fords;, Simplicity, GlenAran, Bijou, Lily &Rose, The Pillbox and The Boutique by Quills. Other businesses andindividuals also supported the event with raffle prizes, including SenatorMark Daly, McSweeneys Pharmacy, The Kenmare Bay Hotel and theBlackwater Tavern. Munster’s new Society magazine ‘Hi’ sponsoredprizes, as did The Pillbox for the Most Stylish Lady. And finally to all the people who attended and enjoyed the night and all

who supported in every way, a heartfelt ‘thank you’.

Jochen Gertz talks to Mairead Robinson

Recent news that NAMA had sold ghost estate CulFadda in Sneem, reputedly all 42 houses on 2.6hectares for a sum of €500,000, has not halted plansfor a future community project on the site.To coincide with the twenty-fifth anniversary of the winning of the

Tidy Town award in 1987, the local committee together withconceptual artist Jochen Gertz and the art students from PobalscoilInbhear Sceine, came up with a unique exhibition “Where Has TheTiger Gone?” which was launched last June by Minister for Arts,Heritage and the Gaeltacht, Jimmy Deenihan. The exhibition ranthrough the summer until September, and generated a lot of interestfrom both locals and visitors to what had previously been referred tolocally as “the eyesore”. The colourful 22 paintings showed invarious images the ghost estate being haunted by a ghost tiger, thetiger trapped behind bars, or shot by a banker. Throughout thesummer, it became a talking point, a news story.And now the students, overseen by their art teacher Joe Thoma are

working again on material to begin the new project “SneemBlackboards” which is being launched to coincide with the SneemInternational Storytelling and Folklore Festival.Once again the brainchild of internationally renowned German

artist Jochen and his French wife Laurence Van Poulle the project isto encourage more social creativity within the local community. “Theidea is that the houses become blackboards. Whatever anyone fromthe village wants to communicate they can put it in that space”, heexplains.While his project Amaptocare in Ballymun is ongoing since he

came to Ireland initially in 2003, Jochen and Laurence have madeSneem their home for the past three years and have brought theirexperience and considerable talent to the village of Sneem. “A newculture of collaboration is needed in order to improve what we sharein a community. This is what the students of Joe Thoma teach us.Not only teachers can teach, but also young people.”Having brought his unique concepts to public spaces all over the

world. Jochen is now weaving his own brand of magic in Sneem withthe support of Tidy Towns and the Kenmare students. While it isguaranteed to provide a talking point for many months to come,Jochen is adamant that the project is not about prettifying ghostestates. The whole point of the exercise, as he sees it, is to engagepeople in shaping their own future. “The winter is endless, the lightis dim, the shops are closed and no visitor is sniffing out Sneem. Ifyou walk around you are alone even if you are full of things. Winteris story time. It Sneemed to me…..” he adds.

The year hasn’t been long passing! and here we are within a few weeks ofChristmas. It hasn’t been a very good gardening year....the constant rain and lackof sunshine wasn’t the best for many of the gardens flowering plants but trees andshrubs were able to soak up the rain and put on a lot of growth and we now have alot of leaves to tidy up ! After some rather cool showery weather in October it hasturned particularly mild which has made it possible to catch up on a lot of gardeningwork. By the time you read this however it will have changed no doubt ! So ,thebottom line is...with winter is fast approaching, so you should make the most of anydry spell to get jobs done.1. The lawn could do with a trim to even off the uneven autumn growth and also tohelp remove the fallen leaves. Don’t cut too low, just low enough to even out thegrass ( and weeds !). This will help prevent the final flurry of leaves getting stuck onthe lawn. Too late at the moment for fertilizers and weedkillers. Moss killers willwork but will leave unsightly brown patches for the winter, so best wait until earlyspring for this attack.2. Rake the leaves off all flower beds, alpine areas and garden ponds wheneveryou can.3. All of the summer bedding plants should be removed from window boxes,hanging baskets and other containers now. They have tried their best to keep ongrowing and flowering but their time has finally come. So, now they are emptied,how about filling them up again for the winter. Last month we talked about plantingup spring flowering bulbs and this will be your last chance to do it so get yourself

organised for this coming weekend. You will really appreciate it next February whenthe Crocus and Daffodils start coming into flower followed by Hyacinth and Tulipsinto March and April. Winter Pansy can also be planted up now for all winterflowering.4. For colour in the garden during the winter you can’t beat the Erica darlyensis, orwinter Heather. They will put up with the severest of winter weather and just keepflowering away. Gaulthera procumbens, Winter berry and the early Hellebores arealso reliable for winter colour.5. Keep the vege garden tidy and start the attack on slugs by placing beer trapsaround the garden or old slates to catch them hiding under every few days. Byreducing the adult population now you will reduce the population next summer.6. Winter flowering shrubs or plants with interesting foliage can be used to addextra colour close to the house in the winter months. Larger plants can also beused as framework for outside lighting from the mains supply or from battery packs.Potted Xmas trees, Skimmia, Viburnum , Boxus and Laurel are all good shrubs forthis purpose.With Christmas getting closer some thought has to be put into Christmas presentsand Garden Centres have a wide range of gift ideas for keen gardeners.Gardening gifts are always very useful and practical. If you can’t think of anything inparticular you can always give someone a Gift Voucher as this will no doubt beused as soon as spring begins to appear by early February.

Kenmare Bay Swim Club would like to extend a huge ‘thank you’to everyone who participated in our annual fundraiser. Withouthelp with the ground work of setting up or participating fromparents and friends it would not be the success that it is. We wouldlike to give particular mention to Kenmare Bay Hotel and JamCafé, Super Valu, Centra, Lidl, Bia Bia, Harringtons Bakery,Kenmare Flowers, Willowfield Garden Centre, Chiari Verdekel forthe Puppets, Sophie Lowe the Fire Poy Performer and Xenia &Della from Dromquinna Stables. The crowd gets bigger and biggerevery year as it gains in popularity. Everyone had spooky fun withthe Halloween games, fire juggling, ghost stories from Joan ourfriendly witch and the smores at the bonfire. A Happy Halloween!

KKeennmmaarree RRuuggbbyyScheduled games for the Kenmare Rugby teams were severelyupset during the past month due to the wet weather and no gamehas taken place at home or away for the last few weeks. Hopefullythe weather will pick up so we can clear the backlog beforeChristmas.Training continues on Tues nights for the under age teams and theseniors on Friday nights...New members and players alwayswelcome.Over the winter months the Club will be holding a TABLE QUIZand a RACE NIGHT as fund raisers, more information will appearon facebook closer to the time. Your support for these functionswould be gratefully appreciated.More info on Kenmare rugby facebook.

We have finally moved to our new location at the GAA sports complex atKillowen. The extra space is just fantastic. With four new mats, properscoreboards and fenders we are well set up. This is thanks to Leaderfunding and, of course, our own contribution. With the extra space andmats we can accommodate more members so we would invite you tocome along. The game is played by men and women from about 13 yearsto 90+. An 'old man/woman's game' it's not, but nor do you have to be anathlete. It is a game of skill combined with gentle exercise. The gameprovides entertainment and a challenge whatever type of game or levelyou play. Most importantly, the social side can be just as enjoyable as thegame. We meet between 10.45 am and 1pm on Mondays and Thursdays

throughout the year. If you come along for the start you will be suppliedwith bowls and some tuition and included in the morning's games. Youcan come along for your first game and just pay �5. If you then decide tojoin, the annual subscription is �20 and you pay �5 each time you play. Ifyou have long periods of being away or not able to play it doesn't cost you.We have been playing at the Templenoe Community Centre since

November 2010 and presently have 25 members. Templenoe has servedthe club very well indeed and we would like to thank the Committee forthe use of their facility. However, the space wasn't adequate for the 45'long mat. Our new equipment and venue will allow us to improve andcompete fully in the Kerry League. We have three teams in the league butuntil now we could only play away matches. Our first home match will bethe Kenmare Dolphins against Killorglin A on Thursday, 22 November.Our team is Tom Cavanagh, Maureen O'Shea, Vera Shaw and skip, AlanShaw.It has been said that the game originated in Ireland about the mid

1940's, with the idea to help the green bowlers keep their eye in during thewinter months. And of course, in a wet year you can play spring, summerautumn and winter and never get sun burnt or soaking wet (unless the clubroof leaks)!For further information contact Aiden at 086 0409555 or Vera at 0851308358.

It’s been a couple of weeks and theJunior Final win against Na Gaeil hasreceded somewhat but only because weare looking forward to the Munsterquarter final versus Kilmacthomas. Notmuch is known about the Waterfordoutfit but they are a predominantlyfootballing club and therefore all arecautious. With a three/four hour journeyto undertake also Kenmare will have tobe mentally ready when pitch timearrives on 25th November (the MunsterCouncil switched the dates of ourfootball and hurling).The prize for the winner is a Munstersemi final against the Cork champions,Rockchapel who won the Cork Juniorfinal replay. Our hurlers also are unsureof their opposition for their Munster tie(18th November) and if they are luckyand get a ‘home’ draw then that matchwill be in Killarney. If the Tip’champions prevail in that ¼ final then itwill be a journey to the Premier Countyfor our hurlers. Lots to look forward to.On the hurling front mixed fortunes,hard luck to the U21 hurlers who lostthe county semi final. They went downby a point after extra time againstO’Dorneys. Kenmare seniors retainedthe South Kerry Senior HurlingChampionship with a 1-13 to 0-9victory over Kilgarvan in Templenoe.Shannon Ryan collected the Cup andthe team is ticking over nicely havingplayed a couple of challenges recentlyin an effort to overcome the long lay-offsince the Kerry County final (back inJuly versus Lady’s Walk).

SFL. Our last game in the countyleague was against Listowel and wasplayed in Dromore (thanks to them forthe pitch which was in fine condition).We went down on a score line ofKenmare 0-16 to Listowel 2-13 in agame that was tightly contested butwhich really was a nothing game forKenmare who had safely retained theirdivision 2 status. Overall it was a goodleague for the team with the early lossesagainst Kilcummin and Skellig Rangers(both very good outfits) puttingpromotion out of our reach.Finnegan Cup/Spillane Cup. Kenmare0-14 Templenoe 1-14: Only a scorebetween the teams in this Spillane Cupfinal which also doubled as theFinnegan Cup semi final, butTemplenoe were definitely the betterteam and deserved their win. PaulO’Connor topped the scoring charts forus with 0-8 points (0-6fs) but PatrickPalmer was not far behind him forTemplenoe with 0-7 (0-fs).Our pitch is still out of use at themoment but a lot of work has beendone by club members to try andredress this issue. The constant rainhas not helped their cause but the workhas gone on and must be acknowledged.Much thanks also to everyone whosupported the club in its recent Churchgate collection. As with everythingmoney is scarce and the clubappreciates everything that goestowards keeping us healthy. KenmareAbu!

Kestrels continue to improve at everylevel this season. Our 16 boys are verycompetitive under Caroline Taylor. Our 16girls continue to impress with coachGrainne Brown. U14’s, U12’s all are doingexcellent: of special note are the U12 Pool 3girls who have won both of their openinggames, defeating Gneeveguilla at home andtopping St. Mary’s Castleisland on the road.Especially impressive were Ellen Torpey,Ciara Price, Rebecca O’Sullivan, AbbeyO’Sullivan, Katie Palmer and LeonieDowning.Our Men have had mixed fortuneswinning at home to St. Mary’s then losingaway in Castleisland before winning an epiccontest in Listowel Saturday evening.Finon O’Sullivan scored the winning basketas the men came away from the long roadtrip 58-56 winners. Mike Hussey, FinbarQuill, John Adams, and Conor Harringtonall stepped up to lead the Kestrels, whotrailing by 7 points in the fourth quarter,came from behind to win despite losingTony O’Sullivan through injury. A specialnote of thanks to Tony who ruptured hisAchilles and recently had surgery in Cork,he scored 15 points in the first quarter in hisbest performance in 6 years with theKestrels club. He will be sorely missed.The night also belonged to Mike Husseywho scored 28 points and was a real teamleader. Coach on the night, John Adamscommented: “I was delighted by the younglads performance and Mike was justdominant in all facets of the contest, yetTony is going to be a huge loss to us goingforward.” Next Up: Men at Glenbeigh inthe Div 2 CUP on Fri. Nov 23rd.Kestrels ladies have lost two and won oneand have a couple of big games coming up.After being beaten by Killarney Cougars,Kenmare travelled back to Killarney to beatTeam Fáilte by 6 points last week. Led byMontse Salvado, Caroline Taylor, MichelleO’Sullivan, Anna Marie Adams and LornaCooper, the experienced side were too muchfor their hosts on the night. Sadly theycould not keep the same form on theirjourney to Cahersiveen this week as theylost by 17 points to an excellentCahersiveen team led by Marie Teehan (14points). Nora Mae O’Brien, Francaes Caseyand Elodie Molere all contributed to cuttingthe home lead to 5 points, but the visitingKestrels ran out of steam in the finalquarter. Next Up: League vs Lixnaw atHOME on Sat. Nov 17 and a re-match withCahersiveen at HOME in the KABB Div 1CUP on Sat. Nov 24. We hope to see a bigcrowd in Pobalscoil Inbhear Scéine for bothgames.Finally a big thank you to all the

Under 13s Make Kerry Squad. Inter sent a strong contingent of 8 under 13players to the Kerry trials for the Kennedy Cup squad. The feedback on all theInter players was very good, and Dylan O’Connor, Dara O’Siochriu and BenCrowley were selected for the Kerry training panel. This is a big honour for thethree lads as well as their coaches and parents, and we wish them all the very bestwith their efforts.October was a busy month for Inter, here are a selection of the match reportsfrom the month;Sunday 28th October Kerry Premier A Spa Road 2-1 Inter KenmareInter travelled to Spa Road very light on numbers, and this came back to hauntthem before the end of the day. The start to the game was very bright, with Intercreating chances, and bossing the half. All the good work came to fruition justbefore half time when Sean Murphy drilled a 25-yard free kick under the walland into the corner. Inter turned around with a lead to defend, and to be fair toSpa Road, they kept the pace up and eventually stretched Inter to breakingpoint. The equaliser came on 60 minutes, with the winner coming on 75 minutes.Inter had no useful subs to bring on, and while the squad tried all they knew, thiswasn't to be. Reinforcements needed for the next game...West Cork Ladies League Bandon 1-4 Inter KenmareInter are right back in business in the ladies league, with a surprisingly big winover Bandon. A few changes were made for this one, with Majella O'Sullivanmoving into defence, and Laura O'Sullivan coming into the team. Inter werebrilliant on the day, running the game from start to finish and putting themselvesright back in contention at the top of the table.Sunday 21st Oct West Cork Ladies League Riverside 0-14 Inter KenmareThe scoreline looks bad, and it’s right. Inter absolutely mauled the Ballineen sidein this one. In fairness to the opposition, they didn’t want to blow up early, andkept at it to the end. Linda Twomey got four goals in this one, but the result wastoo easy to hand out praise to anyone else.Saturday 20th Oct U11 League Sean Murphy & John Horgan ReportingInter travelled to Killorglin Saturday afternoon and this game started off at alightning pace with both teams going all out but it was Inter that struck first witha great passing move from the back with Paraig playing a great ball to Corey whoflicked it on to Sean Lucey who chipped it over the keeper giving Inter the dreamstart. Sadly it didn't last long as Killorglin quickly found an opening in Intersdefence and slotted home. Inter unfazed kept pushing forward and soon found thenet with a nice strike from Corey Murphy. Killorglin again found space andequalised to keep this game on a knife edge but Inter upped their game whenCian Hanley came on and had an immediate impact by finding the bottom cornerand then just before the half time whistle linked well with Joshua to fire a bulletpast the helpless Killorglin keeper leaving the half time score at 4-2.

The second was more of the same only it was Killorglin who scored theopening goal. Inter then went for a 2-4-2 formation bringing Senan out of goal forPaul Cimpoies and this made an immediate difference with Inter piling on thepressure with some great passing movements ending up with a great finish byDaniel Crowley. Killorglin then got their last of the game with some nice playending up in the bottom corner. Daniel Crowley wasn't finished yet and poppedup to find the Killorglin net followed closely with a rocket into the middle of thenet by Cian Hanley giving him his first competitive hat-trick. Daniel was unluckynot to his after the ball found the top corner only to be waved play on as itappeared to have come off the crossbar (Will they ever bring in goal linetechnology?) Inter got their last soon after from a corner swung in by SenanSheehy which found Corey Murphy's head and into the top corner. The final scoreended up 8-4 to Inter. This was a great team performance by the young lads.In the second game of the day Inter came out of the blocks like a whirl wind,with Mark Casey and Aodhan MacGearailt exchanging passes down the rightflank before the latter squared for the on rushing Jack Downing to blast past theKillorglin keeper. Within 2 minutes of the restart Inter had doubled their leadwhen impressive striker Mark Torpey picking up the ball at the edge of the boxand firing home through a body of players. Inter were dominating the midfieldbattle with Mark Casey, Caleb Brosnan and Aodhan MacGearailt not givingKillorglin space to breath. Any attack which broke through the midfield wasquickly snuffed out by the back three of Kaleb Lynch-Patterson, Tyler and DavidO’Sullivan. With about 10 minutes to play inter stormed into a commanding 4-0lead with goals from Mark Torpey and Aodhan MacGearailt. As the half timewhistle loomed some good work from Killorglin down the wing resulted in agreat shot from the edge of the Inter box and although keeper Conor Casey got agreat hand to it couldn’t prevent the ball from hitting the back of the net, thescore at half time stood at 4-1 to Inter.

Killorglin came out in the second half with a point to prove and put the Interdefence under extreme pressure from the off, Inter had to count on keeper ConorCasey to bravely come to the rescue on 3 occasions within the first 10 minutes ofthe second half. The Inter team shuffled around at half time with the introductionof Michael O’Reilly in midfield and Darragh Casey up front. Inter created chanceafter chance but the Killorglin defence stood firm albeit with a bit of luck afterMark Torpey crashed a great effort off the post. Eventually Killorglin clawedtheir way back into the match with 2 successive goals bringing the score to 4-3 toInter. Inter dug deep and eventually were rewarded when Mark Casey found theback of the net with a great volley. Inter were regaining control and a strike-forceof Caleb Brosnan and Mark Torpey constantly looking dangerous, Caleb left threeKillorglin defenders in his wake as he made space in the box to unleash a superb

strike only to see it return to his feet off the post. Aodhan MacGearailt showedhis class to setup Mark Torpey with a fine through ball with Mark finishingcoolly, Killoglin were proving hard to shake off and brought the score back to 1in it with a late goal. In the dying minutes however some good work fromMichael O’Reilly in midfield winning the ball resulted in a penalty to Inter. JackDowning stepped up and coolly blasted the ball beyond the Killorglin keeper,ending the scoring 7-4 to Inter. All players who participated should feel veryproud of the level of performance they gave which is a result of the hard workthey have been putting in every Saturday morning at training.Report by John HollandYouths League Sat 13/10/12 Inter Kenmare 3-4 Killarney AthleticThis game finished 3-4 to Killarney Athletic. This was a step up in level forKenmare as Killarney Athletic have always been in the Premiership at this levelcompared to Inter Kenmare who have been in division one. Secondly Killarneyhad a large panel and were able to freshen up their team with several subswhereas Kenmare had only 12 players and the lads visibly tired toward the end ofthe game. That said Kenmare started brightly, were well organised and pressuredthe ball effectively in all areas of the pitch. This led to Kenmare taking adeserved 2 nil lead into half time. The first goal was a far post header by DavidCrowley from an excellent Josh Holland delivery. The second came from FintanKennedy who was teed up by Dean Cassidy after he undertook a mesmerisingdribble past several Athletic players. Ray O'Shea brilliantly saved a penalty whichwas controversially given as the Athletic player was yards off side when helatched onto a through ball.Sunday 7th Oct Denny Division 2A Inter 4 - 1 St BernardsHaving lost their first three games, this was a must win game for the B's if theyare to have any realistic chance of challenging towards the end of season. Interstarted off the game very brightly with some sweeping passing moves. ConnieCremin started them at the back by bursting out of defence and spreading the ballwide to Matty Clifford and Joey Sheehan who linked up very well with the twofront men Mike Hussey and Kieran Down; who was not lucky to score within thefirst 3 minutes.Once again Inter Kenmare conceded in the first 10 minutes when DonalO’Sullivan Casey was adjudged to have handled the ball from a shot at the edgeof the box. The penalty was well struck with the score reading1-0 St Bernard’s.Inter responded brilliantly and created chance after chance, Kieran hit the postwith a cracking shot and then Con Godfrey was put through but the keeper savedwell.A good ball through by Mike Hussey found Matty Clifford who struck a greatshot but the keeper saved well from the resulting corner. Matty Clifford clippedthe top of the crossbar. St Bernard’s were treading on thin ice and conceded aharsh penalty for handball with Jason O’Shea firing it in to the top corner. Thegame was even at 1-1. Inter continued to create chances. Mike Hussey skippedpassed the defence on numerous occasions but Inter could not find that finishingtouch. On the half hour mark Kiearn Down played Matty Clifford through and hemade no mistake by burying it in the back of the net 2-1 for Inter Kenmare.Inter began the second half as they finished the first, creating chance after chanceand the third goal came on the hour when Kieran Down went past three StBernard’s defenders and squared the ball for Mike Hussey who made no mistake;3-1 Inter. Kieran Down and Mike Hussey were destroying the St Bernard’sdefence and Hussey made it 4-1 with a cracker from the edge of the box.The game was effectively over with 20 minutes to go but Inter kept pressing butsomehow didn't extend their advantage. Matty Clifford and Kieran Down cameclose whilst John Horgan was denied by the keeper twice with good saves. StBernard’s were posing no threats the second half with Connie Cremin, TomBambury and Donal O’Sullivan Casey commanding at the back. In the dyingminutes Joey Sheehan could of got his first goal for the club from six yards outbut the keeper saved well. It was a great all round performance and 8-1 would ofbeen a fairer reflection but Inter are happy with the three points and lookingforward to a surge up the table.Match report Mark Granville

We would like to take this opportunity,before we talk about Christmas atTruffle Pig, to say thank you to all

those who organised the Halloween Howl. Itwas a great festival, the atmosphere in townwas buzzing from people young and oldenjoying themselves. The festival certainlybrought visitors and local people into town,which was wonderful for the businesses. Welldone everyone.

Talking of enjoyment and atmosphere brings us toChristmas, our seventh in business in Kenmare, howtime flies. We really enjoy welcoming people intoTruffle Pig, on a daily basis but particularly atChristmas. The spirit of friendliness and support isalways around in Kenmare. Over the years manythings have brought smiles to our faces. One of ourlasting memories though will be of neighbours andfriends helping us to deliver orders to people whocould not get into town the year of ‘the bad weatherChristmas’. We came through what could have beena disaster for us with everyone pulling together andlaughing as we slipped and slithered our way around.It was certainly a delivery service with a difference! Itwas also true Christmas Spirit.

We are very conscious, this year, of how hard a timeeverybody is having and with this in mind we havebeen making and baking goodies that are different,still of quality and at a realistic price. Our homemadeMincemeat is laced with brandy, our Marmalade

brings the taste budsalive at breakfasttime and our newChutney recipe goesso well with all coldmeats and cheeses.

Our Christmas puddingand cake prices remainthe same as last yearwith Irish Whiskey FruitCakes from €12 andChristmas Puddings from€6.95.

A 10% discount will be available for ChristmasCake and Pudding orders taken and paid forbefore 10th December 2012.

Why not consider our Hamper Service for gifts thisyear? We have sizes to suit all pockets - from a singlepot of something tasty to a basket or hamper full ofdelicious delights - we will fill it and personalise it foryou. Choose from our extensive range of cheesesand add savoury biscuits, or maybe look at our rangeof products for the cook in your family and put someingredients in a hamper that you know they will useand enjoy, perhaps someone special to you has asweet tooth and there is certainly quite a lot in TrufflePig that will bring a gleam to their eyes.

We look forward to helping you put your Christmaspresents together. Call in to us for a full list of ourChristmas Fayre or go to www.trufflepigkenmare.com

Truffle Pig Delicatessen and Cafe

17 Henry St, Kenmare

A Happy Christmas everyone and we look forward to enjoying 2013, with you, at Truffle Pig.

Thank you to all our valued customers and our wonderful staff for your continuedsupport, it is very much appreciated.
