Clues were announced on Radio Kerry and also on McSweeney Pharmacy’s Facebook page. The clues revealed the hiding places of the thirty treasures, each treasure contained a secret code and when this code was handed in at Kenmare Shopping Centre treasure finders received a fantastic goodie bag and were entered into a draw, where they could win fantastic prizes. Lots of families participated and there were both adults and children running about Kenmare hunting for treasures. The big draw took place in Kenmare Shopping Centre where Catherine Hughes, McSweeney Pharmacy, handed out all the prices. Jessica Fien, first prize, €500. Philip O’Sullivan, second prize, €300.

He lived and worked in England all his life twenty miles away from Birmingham, where unknown to him, his mother lived. He returned to Blackwater in the early 1990s and lived in a mobile home on the land of Mary and George O'Neill. It was Mary's aunt Sr Maeve O'Sullivan who arranged a meeting with his mother and her daughter Margaret from her marriage, back in 1992. His mother never mentioned the other sisters to Liam or to her daughter Margaret; she died two years after he met her. Sr Maeve later became aware of the sisters born out of wedlock but wasn't able to locate them, however she provided all the information to Barnados who did the final trace in 2011. Sadly by the time Patricia was traced her younger sister Maureen had died. Liam and Patricia only met for the first time in November 2011. Liam, Patricia and his other sister Margaret in Birmingham are all very close and keep in regular contact. Liam now has a lovely home in Kenmare so its a happy ending to a sad story that was a common occurance at the time. pic Mary O'Neill Sile Reilly, Bonane, pictured with her ‘hens’.

Kenmare welcomes Luxury fashion Kenmare & District Garden Club knitwear designer For our last ‘in-house’ meeting for the summer on the 6th June, Natasha Wilkie. Frazer McDonagh gave us plenty to think about when planning a Natasha designs and water feature. A trained landscaper who has worked in America & makes all her own Hawaii and is now based in Ireland, he specialises in water in the fabulous fashion garden and he had lots of suggestions illustrated by good slides. knitwear. Ponds and waterfalls can be formal or natural looking but are wonderful additions to any property giving reflection of neighbouring pic Harry Masterson trees and shrubs, creating movement and pleasant sounds, providing a tranquil place, attracting wildlife and a home for water-loving plants. For those lucky enough to have a water feature, Frazer touched on safety and maintenance and the rest of us were fired up to go and enhance our gardens with some sort of water structure. The day trip in May was a huge success in spite of the showery weather and the group was very impressed by the beautiful gardens they saw in this part of Kerry. Coming up at the beginning of July will be the 3-day trip to the Dublin area which sounds most interesting and then there will be another chance for a couple of days out in the Birr area in August. This will lead us to our next local Baby Aisling Lucey with her parents John and Sandy Lucey and meeting in September which will be hosted by Simon & Margaret at Godparents Geraldine Lucey and Linda Carey following her Willowfield. christening in Bonane Church. pic Harry Masterson In the meantime, happy gardening and see you all soon.

The event was well attended and received strong support from both business and individuals throughout the South Kerry region. A goal of the coffee morning was to raise funds to support the ongoing campaign and this was a major success. SOAK would like to thank all the businesses and individuals who contributed to making the coffee morning possible. SOAK was formed in April 2013 following a public meeting held in response to fears about the future of the ambulance service based in Kenmare. SOAK have had contact with all national public representatives in South Kerry, all Kerry County Councillors and with medical professionals and community groups throughout the Iveragh and Beara peninsulas. Ambulance services in the Cork and Kerry region have been undergoing reorganisation following a labour court recommendation in 2011. There are proposals to replace ambulances with ‘fast response vehicles’ at certain times. Basically, these are cars, with a fancy name, which will be used by paramedics to reach patients in need of assistance. This could sometimes leave the Kenmare area Daniel B. without an ambulance service with patient carrying capacity. Buckley Currently, the Kenmare ambulance often begins a shift by driving to WOOL MERCHANT Killarney and basing itself there or elsewhere. This redeployment Millstreet, Co. Cork was carried out without community consultation.

A quiet enough month with a break in the Senior Football league but as always plenty of hurling and football at all levels taking place. A lot of it has been taking place on the Colaist Pobail Inbheir Sceine pitch with our own still out of commission (thanks to the school and Dermot Healy for use of same). We’ve had mixed results there and a mix of weather, from water-polo against Michael’s/Foilmore to beautiful sunshine when we played St. Mary’s. The midgies (sp anyone?) are killing us but we will persevere! The Kenmare Community games U10 footballers won the county, well done to them and their mentors. Huge work goes in to every team and is invaluable. Similarly many club members gave up their time and energy recently to help with the slit-draining on our pitch.

Chairman: Dennis O'Brien, Secretary: Majella O'Sullivan, Treasurer: Paul Cassidy, PRO: Charlie Vaughan, Youth Liaison Officer: Ronan O Tuama That’s a wrap All Inter Kenmare teams have wrapped up another season and we expect to have end of season manager reports in for next month. Suffice it to say, 2012-13 was a year of mixed results with some promising displays of skill, team work and conviction. Some of the teams reached great heights with victory almost within reach, but alas that is the nature of football and it was not to be. Other teams found the season challenging, at times frustrating and will take the break to re-group, re-fresh and no doubt return with great gusto in 2013- 14. Seven-a-Side Just Around the Corner Inter Kenmare wishes to remind all that it is that time of the year again when our seven-a-side competition will be starting up. The long summer evenings and the excellent facilities at Inter Kenmare’s grounds combine to make this event an enjoyable few weeks for all.
