Tralee poet launches new book capturing 20 years of work Tralee poet Brian G McEnery launches his latest collection, “Four Eggs in a Basket,” on April 27th at 8 pm

in The Square’s Cearnog pub. The book encapsulates 20 years of Brian’s poetry, delving into personal and reflective themes spanning science, technology, politics, and life.

Brian describes his emotions ahead of the launch, expressing excitement, anticipation, and trepidation, as the topics are deeply personal. The collection, originally planned as four separate books, evolved into one cohesive volume, reflecting coherence and synergy.

Each “egg” in the collection represents distinct themes: the challenges of technology and the human race, spiritual reflections on childhood, impossible love, and poignant musings on the loss of Brian’s former wife in 2019.

Brian, a former army officer with a PhD in Computation, intricately weaves his life experiences into his poetry, offering readers relatable insights and perspectives. Copies of “Four Eggs in a Basket” will be available for €15 at the launch or can be ordered via email.

Spotlight on.....Joey Nagle ( Kerry Seniors & Austin Stacks ) Manor West Sports Ambassador Program 2024

1.

2.

3.

Joey , Why did you choose the sport you compete in? My Dad played football with Stacks and my mom was big into sports so I was brought up with sports.

I played football rugby and hurling but football was by far the one I enjoyed the most. I grew up with the football in my hands !

To date, what is your greatest achievement in sport? My greatest achievement was probably beating Cork in the Munster minor semi final after extra time. That was a great one because there was such a big lead up into that game.Due to covid the championship was postponed by 9 months.

What is your ultimate goal that you have set for yourself? To be a starter for the Kerry seniors and win All -Irelands and also win championships with my club.

4.

Who has been your biggest influence/mentor in sport?

My parents, they’re always there for support when I need anything and they have a great passion for sport and football also.

5. What is your earliest memory of sport? Playing football in the garden with my dad.

6. If you were to play another sport, what would it be?

Basketball, you’re sheltered inside from the rain and there’s a good crossover of skills between football and basketball.

7. Within the next year, what will be your main use of our facility here at Manor West Leisure Centre & Zero Gravity Gym ? (recovery, training, rehab etc?.) definitely recovery due to the amount of training I’m currently doing !

Thanks Joey !

Five tips for shopping for a newborn gift or baby shower present

Consider Practicality: New parents often appreciate practical gifts that they can use every day. Think about items like onesies, sleepers, and bodysuits in soft, comfortable fabrics. These are essentials that parents can never have too many of, especially in the early months when babies go through multiple outfit changes a day.

Opt for Quality: Invest in highquality items that will last. Look for clothes made from organic cotton e.g. from Name It or Babybol, which are gentle on a baby’s delicate skin and wash well. Quality blankets made from breathable materials are also great choices for keeping the baby cosy.

Choose Developmental Toys: Soft toys that stimulate a baby’s senses and encourage development are always a hit.

Look for toys with contrasting colours, different textures, and gentle sounds. Soft animals, and sensory toys like Sophie la Giraffe are all great options that can help babies explore the world around them.

Include Milestone Cards: Milestone cards are a thoughtful addition to any Friday 19th April 2024

baby gift. These cards feature significant milestones like the baby’s first smile, first tooth, and first steps. Parents can use them to capture and commemorate special moments in their baby’s journey. Including a set of milestone cards with your gift shows that you’re celebrating not just the arrival of the baby, but also the exciting milestones to come.

Support Local and Sustainable Brands: Choose gifts from local Irish brands like Babyboo or LittleBowPip and that prioritise sustainability. Look for baby clothes made from organic cotton which is grown without harmful chemicals and pesticides. By supporting local and eco-conscious brands, you’re not only giving a thoughtful gift to the baby but also reducing the carbon footprint associated with shipping and contributing to a healthier planet for their future.

By keeping these tips in mind, you can choose a thoughtful and practical gift that will be appreciated by the new parents and bring joy to their growing family.
