Opened By Mayor Of

A new €200,000 skateboarding facility in Tralee has been officially opened tlast week and is the first such amenity developed in the county.

The Mayor of Tralee, Cllr Mikey Sheehy cut the ribbon last Friday on OX Park near Tralee Sports Complex, which is named after the late skateboarding enthusiast and campaigner for the amenity, Bruce ‘The Ox’ Kelliher.

Speaking at the Skatepark today, Mayor Sheehy acknowledged the campaign over many years by the local Skatepark Community Group for the development a safe and designated space in which skateboarders could pursue their passion.

‘This is a really special day for Tralee’ said Cllr Sheehy ‘and is testament to the tremendous work done by the community group as well as Kerry County Council, Kerry Education and Training Board and Tralee

Tralee

Sports Complex. It is a wonderful addition to the local community and recreational infrastructure.’

In late 2017, a suitable site for the amenity was identified near Tralee Sports Complex and Tralee Skatepark Community Group applied for and were granted planning permission in April 2018. Funding was provided from the Sports Capital Programme, the Leader Programme and Kerry County Council and work commenced in April 2022. The project was supported by significant local fundraising.

‘Many towns and communities around the country would dearly love a fantastic facility like this. The contractors, Bendcrete, have delivered a really top-quality amenity of which they and the project promoters can be immensely proud,’ said Cllr Sheehy.

‘I would like to acknowledge

all the funding partners for this project, including Kerry County Council, Tralee Skatepark Community Group, the Department of Rural and Community Development through NEWKD and the LEADER programme as well as the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media through Sports Capital Funding,’ he added.

‘This wonderful amenity belongs to the people of Tralee and the wider county and that is the legacy of all those involved. I hope that the park here will bring great joy and entertainment to young people from Tralee and beyond over the coming years,’ said Cllr Sheehy.

Kerry athletes all set for the Coventry ICG Games

In just over a week’s time 17 committed Kerry athletes will again take up the challenge against their peers from towns and cities representing 40 countries from around the world in Coventry as The 2022 International Children’s Games and Cultural Festival gets underway in Coventry from August 10th to 16th .Tralee ICG will be represented in Swimming, Track and Field and Basketball. The swimming quartet, is comprised of Lily May O Gara, Rachel Barry, Laurel Mason and Zala Cvar O Connor. All are members of the Kingdom Swimming Club in Tralee and compete under the watchful eye of coach Ger Mc Donnell.

The 5 Track and Field athletes are members of Listowel AC and Riocht AC. Saoirse Dillon, Emma Neylon and Mollie

O Riordan are no strangers to school and club national events The same is true of Riocht athletes David Lane and Kieran Keane, with Kieran also entered in the Shot Put, his specialist event.Their coach is Dearbhail Foley . The basketball teams are entered in 3 v 3 competitions, The boys team is comprised of Johnny Dawson and Fionnan Ryan (Imperials) and Gearoid White and Brayden Pierce (St Brendan’s). The 4 girls flying the flag in Coventry are Kelly Fitzgerald and Lucy O Connor (Imperials) and Anna Collins and Jill Quirke (Ballymac Bobcats).

The boys will compete against teams from Greece, Israel, Slovenia, Austria and Switzerland, while the girls’ group provides opposition from Canada, Lithuania, Greece and Australia. Under the direction of coaches Ruth O Keeffe and John Byrne, they can be guaranteed to give of their very best.

Tralee ICG will be joined at the Games this year by another Irish team for the first time since 2008. Cork City Council, who are twinned with Coventry, received and accepted an invitation to attend as a sister city last March. What are the chances of meeting the Cork basketball team in one of the quarter

final matches? If it happens it should be just a little bit spicy!!

“It’s good for us to have another Irish team competing” according to ICG chairman Mike Culloty.

This is the first Games post Covid and there is great satisfaction that the event is back up and running. “There is tremendous goodwill in Kerry and indeed Ireland toward youth sport in general, and these young athletes who excel in their own communities and clubs, now get to taste International competition for the first time in their chosen sports. This participation is not possible without the support of parents, clubs, businesses and the general public who support our fundraising activities, such as raffle ticket sales, the

table quiz held in Listowel and the recent Spinathon held in Manor Retail Park. ” said Mike. The delegation departs Farranfore airport on Wednesday August 10th, arriving in Standsted at 13:15, where they will board a bus to the University of Warwick, accommodation and sports centre for the Games. The teams will be joined in Coventry by no fewer than 42 supporters, family and friends.

“It is incredible to think that for that week in Coventry there will be 65 Kerry people who will be enjoying the flavour of the Games, most for the first time. It promises to be a great week-on and off the field”!

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

I am going to a family wedding in France and I am looking forward to a week of relaxing on the beach after the wedding. My abdomen is my main issue. It looks wobbly and the skin looks old. I have lost weight but I want to feel conﬁdent on the beach without having surgery.

Hi Gillian, Our radio frequency skin tightening treatment would be my recommendation for your abdomen. This skin tightening treatment is F.D.A. approved, clinically proven and it is non surgical and non invasive. There is no downtime after the treatment and there would be no scarring. This treatment is to target loose and sagging skin using heat. Radio frequency works by gradually heating the dermal and subdermal tissues to tighten and re-contract the muscle superficially and voluntary. The heat penetrates deep into the layers of the skin and promotes collagen production. The collagen fibres contract and multiply which firms and contour the texture of the skin. As the dermis is heated, a natural reaction occurs that releases toxins in the fat and these toxins are then eliminated by the body. This gives the skin back its smoothness, shape and elasticity with no anaesthesia or recovery time required.

A course of treatments is recommended and our practitioner will determine how many treatments are required during your initial consultation. Maintenance is achieved by top up treatments after six months.

Mary O Donnell, Brand Representative

If you have any questions for our team or would like to book a consultation, please contact us at Chrc@bonseours.ie or phone 086-0786120.

LAUGHTER ....THE BEST MEDICINE !

BIG FARM

A Texan rancher comes to Ireland and meets a Kerry farmer. The Texan says, “Takes me a whole goddam day to drive from one side of my ranch to the other.”

The Kerry farmer says, “Ah sure, I know, sir. We have tractors like that over here too.”

JOB DONE

A Spanish singer chatting on television used the word ‘manana’. When asked what that meant, he said it means “maybe the job will be done to-morrow, maybe the next day, maybe the day after that, next week, next month or next year. Who cares?” An Irishman in the conversation, Shay Brennan, was then asked if there’s an Irish equivalent. “No. In Ireland we don’t have a word to describe that level of urgency”

WHERE IS MULLIGAN?

Two Irishmen met and one said to the other, “Have ye seen Mulligan lately, Pat?”

Pat said, “Well, I have and I haven’t.”

His friend asked, “well what d’ye mean by that?”

Pat said, “It’s like this, y’see…I saw a chap who I thought was Mulligan, and he saw a chap that he thought was me. And when we got up to one another…it was neither of us.”

OUR HOUSE

Murphy was selling his house, and put the matter in an agent’s hands. The agent wrote up a sales blurb for the house that made wonderful reading.

After Murphy read it, he turned to the agent and asked, “Have I got all you say there?”

The agent said, Certainly ye have…Why do you ask? Murphy replied, cancel the sale, the place sounds grand to me

OHH MY GOD!

O’Connell was staggering home with a small Paddy in his back pocket when he slipped and fell heavily. Struggling to his feet, he felt something wet running down his leg. “Please, God,” he implored, “let it be blood!”

FRIDAY NIGHT

Late one Friday in Dublin, a policeman spotted a man

driving very erratically. He pulled the man over and asked him if he had been drinking that evening. ‘’Aye, so I have. ‘Tis Friday, you know, so me and the lads stopped by the pub where I had six or seven pints. And then there was something called ‘Happy Hour’ and they served these mar-gar-itos which are quite good. I had four or five o’ those. Then I had to drive me friend Mike home and o’ course I had to go in for a couple of Guinness -- couldn’t be rude, ye know. Then I stopped on the way home to get another bottle for later...’’ And the man fumbled around in his coat until he located his bottle of whiskey, which he held up for inspection. The officer sighed, and said, ‘’Sir, I’m afraid I’ll need you to step out of the car and take a breathalyzer test.’’

‘’Why? Don’t ye believe me?’’

LAST NIGHT, MY WIFE GOT MAD AT ME FOR KICKING SOME ICE CUBES UNDER THE REFRIGERATOR...

but now it’s just water under the fridge.

A WIFE ASKS HER HUSBAND IF SHE WERE TO DIE, WOULD HE REMARRY?...

3-11-15 12.00 y St. , Tralee

and her husband says “yes I would remarry I like living a married life and spending time with someone else. The wife gets uncomfortable and proceeds to ask “ well would you let her live in our house?” And the husband says “yes I’d let her live here there’s nothing wrong with this house.” That worried the wife more, so then she asks “well would you let her sleep in our bed?” And the husband says “yes I like my bed and I don’t want to get rid of it I’d let her sleep in it.” This only makes the wife more worried so she feels compelled to say “well at least promise me you will never let her use my golf clubs.” The husband say “don’t worry she will never use your clubs, she’s left handed.”

TALKING SPORT WITH THE TRALEE ADVERTISER

FAI NATIONAl P.R.O. OF THE YEAR

BRENDAN MARTIN CUP STAYS IN MEATH BUT KERRY’S SEASON STILL VERY IMPRESSIVE:

As we are a few days on from last Sunday’s LGFA Ladies All Ireland final the Kerry squad and management will have had some time to reflect on last Sunday’s loss. After a dream start Meath deserve huge credit for the way they patiently worked their way back into the game and took over for the majority of the rest of the game.

Kerry were closed down quickly, were unable to win their own kick-outs and up front the Meath defence was on top. The Kerry players will probably be feeling that they didn’t do themselves justice. But they got to remember that they were up against a Meath team winning back to back Brendan Martin Cups, a team that had lost two Intermediate finals before winning one and then taking the senior section by storm. They play to system that everyone has bought into, the defend in numbers and break at pace and are blessed with a couple of players who come along once in a generation. However Kerry should take a huge amount of positives from the season. They won the League and playing in the top Division next season will be a huge boost to them. They now know what it is like to play in the biggest Ladies game of the year and they know they are well capable of performing at the level required to go one step further. So the future is very bright for the Kerry Ladies. I would expect the management of Darragh and Declan and their backroom staff and most of the panel to stay on and they have proved that they are able to bring new players into the fold. Meath are losing 4 players to Aussie Rules but no one should hold that against any player – male of female who gets a chance to play professionally. But they will be going all out for the three in a row. Dublin and Cork will be smarting at missing out on the final. Mayo and others will be looking to do what Meath did. So it’s exciting times and with over 46,000 at the finals there is a lot right in the LGFA world just as it is in most female sports at the moment. The task off the field for everyone involved in the administration side is to ensure that girls and women have every opportunity, structure and resource that the male game has. On the field the players will take care of the performance side.

PARNELLS NEWS:

The u7’s trained in mid-week and didn’t let the bad weather deter them from putting in a good session. Cian O’Carroll and Oran Hegarthy were named Players of the Week. The u12 Blue Camogie side put in their best performance of the season against Cillard. The seniors played Causeway in the Junior Camogie League. Despite missing a few regulars those on duty put in a great effort but the North Kerry side proved to be too strong on the night. The squad need to train regularly together

and hopefully with the new players they can drive on. The club wishes Chloe Moloney a speedy recovery from her recent injury.

Cul Camp: There are still some places available on the clubs Cul Camp which runs from Monday 8th to Friday 12th at the Caherslee GAA Grounds with bookings open on-line.

The club is very proud of minor player Kirby Anne Ryan who has won two gold medals, in the discus and the shot putt, at the recent Irish Life National Juvenile Track and Field championships. The club will be looking for support for its Buster fundraiser at the Kingdom Greyhound Stadium on August 13th. The day before they will hold a clothes collection with the items collected being sold for cash.

Just a closer walk with thee Grant it, Jesus, is my plea Daily walking close to thee Let it be, dear lord, let it be

When my feeble life is o'er Time for me shall be no more Guide me gently, safely o'er To thy kingdom's shore, to thy shore When life's sun sinks in the west Lord, may I have done my best May I find sweet peace and rest In that happy home of the blessed

Just a closer walk with thee Grant it, Jesus, is my plea Daily walking close to thee Let it be, dear lord, let it be.
