From the Editor W
ell here we are, the moment a lot of us have been waiting for – the end of August. At the time of writing though the temperature doesn’t seem to have gone down any, maybe by the time you read this it will have started to drop. It’s not been that bad though has it? Not so many hot winds, a handful of isolated fires and no ‘red’ rain but the humidity! I think that is the killer. I remember going to Barbados many years ago in August when the humidity was really high, I was asleep by 9pm every night – of course it had nothing to do with the several rum punches whilst watching the sunset! We shouldn’t really moan, but we do. I have to admit I am looking forward to getting where I want to go in half the time, or less, and to be able to park when I get there. Personally I’d like to thank all the tourists who brought their dogs on holiday with them and didn’t bother to clean up after them! Our regular walk is more than a little hampered with discarded ‘obstacles’. I’m also amazed at how much rubbish accumulated in the trees at the bottom of the Parata

road from people obviously just throwing it out of their car windows! There really isn’t any need for it is there? After all, there are enough bins around the place. Gripe over. You’ll see from this issue that there’s still been lots going on and people out and about, the last thing being the PAWS Hippy Party which was a huge success and very well supported as you’ll see by the photos on page 24. As always my thanks to those who have sent in items for inclusion. And thank you to the lady who emailed me the following, “I read your mag when on holiday in June with a friend of mine. It was so great to see a vibrant community in a place I never knew existed.” Until next month, Tracey PS… Don’t forget to let me know if there is anything you would like to see featured in The Advertiser.

♣For those of you who escaped the
heat and chaos of August, Mojacar Town Hall issued a press release at the end of July to advise that foreign residents and tourists can now be attended in English, German and French, Monday to Friday, 9am to 1pm. Francisca Brunet is the lady responsible for this service and apart from just providing information it will also include you being taken to the right department and your requirements translated. The Mayoress of Mojácar, Rosa María Cano, stated that, “all foreign residents need this kind of attention due to the 50% of the foreign registered population at this town council.” And that, “Mojácar is a town with enough resources to face the future with enthusiasm which is essential to connect the public to their demands.” The Fundraiser in Turre is back to its normal opening hours and would like to say a BIG THANK YOU to Zoe for all her help in the shop over the last few months and wish her good luck at college in September. Gill from Connexions, Turre wants to let you know about the Free upgrade NEXT Comuniciones is giving their 2mb customers. They are changing them over to 3mb at NO EXTRA COST. So for €24.95 plus iva a month you can now have 3mb which will make using your Skype, web cam and gaming programs so much easier. Connexions are the local agent for NEXT Comuniciones, you can find them in the square in Turre or telephone 950 479 502 for more information. Also, they have had a lot of customers worried that their Laptops are running very hot and have a great new product which will help to keep you and your laptop cool. Call in and see them, they are always ready to help. The Dames in Spain new season commences on Monday 19th September, 11 am onwards at The New Kimrick.

And yet again some of the hunting fraternity are laying bait, containing poisons, which will kill any animal within a very short period of time, in most cases not long enough to get them to the vets for an antidote. If you notice that your dog is sick and vomiting a black substance which has a strange smell, the dog is unable to stand and keeps falling to the floor,you need to make the dog/ animal sick using milk or salt water. Continue with this until only the fluid i.e. milk/salt water is being returned. The Dog House has had a 95% success rate using this method. If you require any further information please contact The Dog House 950 958 102 or 626 766 073.

showed such lovely community spirit and helped out in any way they could. Restaurante-Bar Toscana has engaged the services of one of the area’s best chefs, Jeremy Stent. Formerly of The Ivy and Langans in London, Jeremy is now going to cast his culinary spell and create some exciting new Mediterranean dishes. See main ad on the front cover for reservation details. The New Kimrick is holding an end of season party on Saturday 10th September. The night will be hosted by DJ Ian together with 3 or 4, or more, of his musical friends. Tickets are 8€ and include a hot & cold buffet. I had an interesting chat with Jacques at the Ferreteria Mojacar the other day following a snippet of news in the EWN about Almeria taxis being called into Mojacar at weekends. Jacques said this is because the previous party in power didn’t grant any licences to the Mojacar taxi drivers, an agreement which was to stand for some years! And if you’re looking for something interesting to read I must direct you to this site www.almerimarlife.com. And here’s the link directly to the last page of the gossip section – as it starts in July 2010 it is easier to scroll back a page than start from the beginning … http://almerimarlife.com/forum/ topic/937/mojacar-news-gossip/ page/18/ An evening of Clairvoyance and Mediumship is being held at the Beachcomber on 12th October with international mediums Keith &

BUT if you don’t want to eat, tickets are 10€ and you can still reserve a table. Call 950 473 099. Another Zumba dance night is being organised by Tracey and ‘Get Fit, Stay Fit’ Alison for Wednesday 28th September, 8.30pm, at The New Kimrick. The Tuesday night Ceroc classes are scheduled to start the second week in September. Meanwhile at Indigo Gym, Alison has new beginners Zumba and Pilates classes starting on Thursday 13th October. The regular Zumba classes are now Tuesdays and Thursdays at 9.30am only – the Thursday 12 noon one has finished. Call Alison on 637 465 487 for more info. Please note Ashlove’s Pet House, have a new telephone number - 950 473 233. And apologies to their new groomer ‘Maddy’ for spelling her name wrong last month. And finally … the usual seasonal warning:- The heavy summer traffic leaves a thin film of rubber and oil on the road surfaces. Because it immediately dries out in the sun this invisible film actually improves tyre cohesion. However, when the first rains fall, usually in late September, this film, still remains invisible but becomes very slippery causing many an unwary motorist to skid. Not until we have some heavy rain fall is it washed away and safe to trust your tyres when braking and accelerating.

PAWS AID Concert PAWS biggest ever fundraising event. The PAWS AID Concert, at Mojácar’s Artisan Centre on Saturday 24th September, is gearing up to be an epic event. Lasting seven hours, with nine live bands, six dance acts and a variety of video screenings, it is set to be PAWS biggest ever fundraising event. With music ranging from solo acoustic to full-bore rock, the event will be in two separate sessions with separate tickets - €5 for each session, on sale from the end of August. The first half, from 4-7 pm, will be predominantly lighter in tone, although there may be a few rock numbers. After a half-hour interval, the second session will be more rock orientated, building to a rousing climax. Both sessions will be broadcast live by Bay Radio (91.5/95.5 FM). The genial Master of Ceremonies on stage (in English and Spanish) will be José Luis Cano, who needs no introduction to Mojácar audiences! Bands performing will include Los Gringos, Los Mezcaleros (Mario from Turre’s Zambra Bar) Pedro Flemingo (formerly Spectrum) and Histeria – led by none other than Costa Almeria News’s editor Richard Torné! Other groups offered their services, but had scheduling conflicts on the concert’s final date. The Dance acts will perform during band change-overs, and have been programmed by ‘Keep Fit’ Alison to include her own Zumba group, Fatima (Mojácar’s star Belly Dancer) and Alistair Machin, winner of the recent local contest in “Spain’s Got Talent.” “It is essentially a PAWS fundraiser,” said PAWS spokesman Mike Dornan, “but we hope it will stand as a full-blown, multi-cultural event in itself. We have Spanish, English, American, Belgian and German musicians taking part. We are appealing to PAWS core support in the rather gentler nature of the first session – and to a younger, predominantly Spanish audience in the second half. PAWS has been perceived by many as a predominantly middle-aged, expat organisation – a perception that the society is trying very hard to squash. “There are a great many Spanish animal lovers in our community,” said Mike Dornan. “They are all over the social networking sites and many are Friends of PAWS on Facebook. We need to involve them far more directly in the daily work that PAWS does, and we hope we can start to attract them in by events like this.” Mojácar Town Hall has thrown its support fully behind the event. There will be food stalls and a bar operating throughout, so nobody needs to go hungry or thirsty. Parking has been provided next to the petrol station on the hill, and buses will be on hand to bring people to the centre at the beginning of each session, and deliver them back at the end.

New Venue for Living Water Church, Mojacar The new venue represents a big step forward for the local church. Situated just off the Red Cross roundabout opposite the Farmacia on the beach front, it gives the church a daily accessible building as a community centre for both holiday makers and residents to visit for friendship, prayer, various meetings and access to Christian resources. “We are here to serve the community and aim to be relevant to people regardless of denominational or cultural background.” Their Sunday service covers two sessions with the first hour providing a more formal and structured time with the main emphasis being the teaching from the bible. This is followed by a refreshment break. The second session gives the option for people to stay and enjoy a more open and free time of praise and worship. During this time the congregation have opportunity to share, pray and receive healing if required. Holy Communion is given every week. Its full time pastor is David Hamilton who has been a fully accredited minister since 1997. Pictured right, David and Pam Hamilton

Gayne, a long time out-patient of Mojácar and now a full time resident and owner of “Kasbah” has developed a website for his shop. www.kasbah.es is where you can find access to his virtual shop and all the Arabian wonders therein. He has now changed his customer base from regulars and passers-by to the whole world. The JUKEBOX is a new bar that’s opened near the old

Mapfre office on Mojácar playa at what some call the “Garrucha end”. They are offering free jukebox entertainment to all their customers. Drawing on the internet and their huge files of music they can have any song you want playing within seconds. A sterling idea that is proving very popular. Especially when the ladies take to the floor and don’t want to stop dancing. They make two promises at The Jukebox; any tune you like and beer served as cold as is possible. Now that really is my cup of tea. That’s all, for now, folks. See you in October when I suppose we ought to start preparing for Christmas. LoL. El Navegador advertisernavigator@msn.com

Feliz Cumpleaños

ugust has left the building!!!! I thoroughly enjoyed myself again this season but enough is enough. What I fancy now, is a little bit of a chillax. I have an assortment of blood types running through my veins but the main tributary is British so my idea of doing anything relaxing will always, at some point, involve a nice cup of tea. Where providence prevails there will also be some biscuits taking part. Of course all of these delights can not be properly appreciated unless one is comfortably reclined and in the shade. Imagine my surprise when I found a website called
Tito’s Complex
A
aside from the obvious, the fella running this site who’s name is “Nicey” is as preoccupied with “Bikkies” as much as he is “A nice cup of tea and a sit down”. So I have decided to make him the patron saint of chillaxing. It’s a very benevolent website with nothing more controversial than the ideas expressed about which is the best biscuit. For the record, I think, it is the Kimberly. A delight only to be found in Eire. I fortunately have some wonderful Irish friends that regularly bring me fresh supplies (Thanks you guys), other than that you can’t get them here. Unless ... You are fortunate enough to be invited to my gaff for elevenses. Nicecupofteaandasitdown.com has nothing else to say really. They go on excursions to try tea and “Bikkies” in far flung corners of the tea drinking world and site members often relate the bizarrest of their tea drinking exploits. Apart from that it’s just about taking that bit of time out and switching off from the rest of the world. An advisable pursuit after the heavy dose of madness that we call August. The website is, perhaps, best summarised

Championships in Cyprus in October which is quite a prestigious tournament with many countries competing. The Spanish National Squad get very little funding and so Jan Dando, Debbie Colquhoun and Mick Johnson have to find their own travel and accommodation expenses. On the night much fun was had by all and, as a result of the very generous donations over €500 was raised for the three competitors. The local businesses who donated raffle prizes were: The New Kimrick Restaurant, Mojacar; The Sleep Centre, Albox; Colin the Card, Albox; PriceBusters, Albox; Iceland, Vera Many other raffle prizes were donated by friends and family and some extremely generous gifts of cash were also received. Jan, Debbie and Mick would like to say thank you to all that helped them to raise this money - it is very much appreciated - and they hope that they can do the club proud by returning home with a medal.

The food, donated by Colin and Alan, was priced at 1€ a plate, the proceeds of which were also given to the charities. Julie and Siobhan lost 14.5 kilos between them and raised 1,390€. Hilary from El Pinar, made a HUGE pork pie for the raffle which she went on to win so it was auctioned off, raising a total of 290€. The lucky bidder, Debbie, also of El Pinar, then sliced it up and shared it out.

The Healing Power of Crystals
Crystals have been used throughout history for their healing qualities and beauty. Many people believe that each stone emits a certain energy which can have a beneficial effect on our well being. Does it work? – Wear one, carry one, or take it to bed with you and judge for yourself. Agate Treasured as a good overall healing stone. Believed to help ease painful conditions such as bruises, strains and sprains. Amethyst A very powerful aid to creative thinking, spiritual awareness and healing. Believed to help combat insomnia. Ametrine The entwined powers of Amethyst and Citrine make this a unique stone, believed to be an exceptional cleanser and energiser. Aquamarine Giving warm-hearted energy, this soothing stone is said to pacify nerves and banish phobias whilst ensuring calm and tranquillity. Aventurine Helps reinforce decisiveness and amplify leadership qualities. Good for calming anxiety and fears.
It isn’t hard to end up with overprocessed hair. If you have permed, relaxed, dyed or bleached, and/or heat-styled your hair repeatedly then your hair might fall into this category. Here’s how to tell if your hair is damaged from over-processing: • Dry at the ends • Split ends • Coarse after processing but it hasn’t always been that texture • Lots of rebellious fly-away or frizzy strands If your hair meets any one or more of these four standards, your hair is probably over-processed. If it is, follow these simple steps toward easy recovery. 1) Don’t use a harsh shampoo and conditioner. If your shampoo says on its label that it is for “oily hair” then you need a new shampoo. Don’t use products that are meant to strip your hair of its naturally occurring oils. Opt for a gentler, more nourishing shampoo and an intense moisturising conditioner. 2) Over-processed, chemically treated, dried out hair needs extra moisturisation to stay healthy, start using a leave-in conditioner immediately. Leave-in conditioners are formulated to be light enough that they can be applied to hair everyday without giving a greasy look or feel to your hair, but they are just heavy enough to keep those dried ends and fly-away strands in check. Apply a leave in conditioner to hair only after it has been shampooed and conditioned in the shower, and then towel
dried. Leave-in conditioners can be found in salons and high street shops under just about every known label. 3) Deep condition your hair once a week. Most people should do this anyway but if your hair is damaged it is particularly important that you don’t skip over this step. Remember that you need to do more than the minimum to keep your hair as healthy as those who don’t over-process. Deep conditioning products come in many forms, from thick mud masks for the hair, to oil treatments, to rich moisturising conditioning creams that contain vitamins and essential oils. Plan to leave the conditioner in for at least 5 minutes before rinsing it out for maximum effect, although you should read the label of the product you choose to find out specific instructions from the manufacturer. 4) Ease up on the harsh treatment you are giving your hair. If you want to dye your hair, go darker instead of lighter to avoid excessive bleaching. If you don’t know what colour to use, talk to a stylist to get advice. If heat-styling is the main source of your hair’s problems, then it is time to cut back in a major way, but many people don’t know any other way to style their hair. If this is the case, again, consult a stylist for advice, tips, and product recommendations. Another option is to apply products, let your hair air-dry, and then find creative ways to pull it back. Experiment with the boring pony-tail or bun to come up with a few new looks. 5) Get your hair cut every 6-8 weeks , split and dry ends start popping up more often after this point at a rapid pace and you will soon find that your hair just doesn’t look as good as it did after you first got it cut. When this happens, or even before it has a chance to happen, make an appointment with your stylist to get a trim.
Black Tourmaline A good balancing stone, Tourmaline is believed to cushion against negativity and promote understanding. Bloodstone Can improve the sense of creativity, decision making and intuition. Said to help clarify the blood and clear toxins. Blue Lace Agate Helps give a sense of courage and assists in discovering the truth. Believed good for strengthening the bones. PAGE 14

JAMES IS BACK! James, who many of you will know from Bar Med, went to England to train with ‘Headmasters’, a 40 strong award winning salon group. Rather impressively James completed his what should have been a 2 year course, in just 9 months, worked his way up to Master Hair Designer level (two levels from the top position!) and was also a finalist in the Headmaster Hair Competition. Throughout the intensive training process James has also completed Blow Dry courses where hair is actually blow dried into the style rather than blasted and straightened; is L’Oreal colour trained and GHD trained. With his family still here, dad is electrician Gary Suckling, the pull was too great and James has returned to join Julian as a partner at Hair Design, where he is looking forward to doing his own thing without the control of the big salon environment. Apart from the regular treatments, anything you would like that is not listed call in to see James for a chat or telephone him on 634 372 708. Hair Design has the franchise in Andalucía for a range of colours from France specifically developed for fragile and over processed hair and are also agents for “An Evolution in Straightening & Repair.” The only product on the market which is chemical and formaldehyde free, can last for up to 4 months and is ideal for use on coloured or damaged hair.

www.advertisermojacar.com Mobile phone numbers in Spain are changing to allow them to start with a “7” as from October, instead of only “6” as at present. This is because they are running low on nine digit numbers starting with a 6! Talking of mobile phones, did you know that the shop at Camping Los Gallardos can supply top up mobile phone credit for just about any pay-asyou-go phone in the world? Most UK networks are there, including Vodafone, Tesco, O2, etc. Perfect for friends and family who are over and have run out of credit! They are also a drop off point for Offex mail, allowing quick post back to the UK (and an easy, cheap & secure UK passport renewal service), as well as selling fresh bread, English newspapers, and a whole range of cheap UK imported goods. Open seven days a week, as well! Call them on 950528324 for more information. The Friday fish and chips over at Miraflores are still fantastic, and fish chef Mark tells me that on the Fridays that he only does 100 he thinks he’s got a day off! Mark is proud of the fact that he only uses fresh Atlantic cod, which the camp site orders in specially (by the boat load!). You can have a small plate for just 5,5€, or have the works, including bread and butter, mushy peas and thick cut chips, for just 7,5€ per person. Reservations are certainly to be recommended! Meanwhile, Steve, the head chef at Miraflores, is rightly proud of his great Sunday Lunches which pull in people from as far away as Albox. Miraflores offers a main course of roast pork, roast beef (or a combo!), a half roast shoulder of lamb, half a roast chicken or salmon for just 7,5€. Or choose from one of their starters or home made puds and get a free coffee and a liqueur thrown in for just 9,95€. Non residents who are eating can still use their great chlorine free swimming pool before and after eating for free.
It’s great that the area has such a great facility, which keeps attracting people to this zone in the winter months, and the community spirit of the campsite over the winter months goes some way towards making up for the lack of tourists. Camping Los Gallardos is now 20 years old! Anthony & Shirley Jackson opened it in 1991 (having purchased the land in 1989) and since then the complex has gone from strength to strength. I’m told that they’re planning an extra special “birthday party” this October to thank everyone who has helped them over the years - Shirley confides that it will be the party of the year, and she’s even importing some musicians! The event will be a private, ticket only event for some 250 guests and select invitations will be going into the post soon. Attendees will range from politicians to promoters, models to campers!
679970399 - 950469519 As one of the largest bars and restaurants in the area, we are able to offer our guests a full range of facilities, from a day at the pool, an enjoyable evening meal or a fully catered private function for up to 200 guests. Ask about our party plans from just 6€ a head! Open 7 days a week from 9am until midnight. Full a la carte and evening specials. Regular and special events throughout the year.

Miraflores reservations: 950469519 Interested in saving money on your grocery shopping, and getting access to some of the cheapest English imported goods around? Pop into the shop at Camping Los Gallardos and you’ll be amazed at some of the prices! That’s because the shop at Camping Los Gallardos is able to negotiate some greater discounts from its suppliers by buying in bulk for the complex as a whole. The Campsite then passes these savings onto their customers by always keeping their prices as low as possible. And now they’ve launched their new Clubcard scheme. If you have a Camping Clubcard, you earn points every time you make a purchase at the Campsite shop or in Miraflores. These points can then be redeemed against great prizes, special offers and even discount coupons for future purchases! At the moment of going to press, I’m told that the MACS cancer charity fund raising evening this coming 3rd September at Miraflores was filling up fast. If you don’t have a ticket, then the best way of finding out if there are any free is by calling 679970399 and pleading for any free tickets! Tickets cost 12€ (which include a donation to MACS and a full BBQ evening meal) and a fun filled evening is promised, with no fewer than four groups playing away until midnight. Is your UK passport expiring? Are you aware of the redtape you have to go through to get it renewed at the UK embassy in Madrid? Well, help is at hand with the handy Offex passport renewal service, where they give you all the paperwork to fill in, double check to make sure it’s all there, then courier your passport to Madrid and send it back to you. The service is available at Camping Los Gallardos.
The Almería Lawn Bowling Centre had a hectic schedule over the summer months, being busier than usual, but people are already calling up from the UK to confirm they’ll be back for the winter and to keep them a place!

evening at Bar International raised 398.74€ in ticket sales and donations. After a delayed start, due to the noise of the traffic, Hugo sorted out a PA system for them, and then the evening continued well with many people receiving messages. The event was sold out by Friday and dozens of people wanting tickets were unable to get them. We are hoping to repeat the event on a regular basis, only next time Fiona and Keith will stay overnight and do personal readings the following day. Watch out for the posters and ads for more info and to make a booking.

well as the usual Book stall, Poppy Stall and members table they were able to pay for some of the upcoming events, such as the BBQ on the 8th September at Bar Trinidad in Arboleas. It starts at 7.30 pm and costs just 10€ for members and 11€ for non-members. These events are arranged by your committee to raise much needed funds to assist in The Legion’s work providing Welfare and support for currently serving and ex-forces personnel. We cannot do this alone and urgently need more members. Did you know that you don’t need to have served in the Forces to become a member of the Legion? It is open to all over the age of 12 years. Whilst Help 4 Heroes does amazingly good work & raises approximately £1 million per month, the Legion spends on average £1.5 million PER WEEK on the welfare of its members, support for serving and ex-service personnel and their families and other good causes. The Legion also supports ex-service personnel in Spain as needed, so it doesn’t all go back to the UK. Here’s where YOU can help us continue this good work. As in any organization, members come and go for a variety of reasons. In order to support our important fundraising cause we work hard to recruit new members and keep them by putting on a variety of events that members enjoy. “What’s in it for me?” I hear you ask. Well, if you are a past member of the UK armed Services the Legion will support you and your family should you require it. This may take the form of welfare assistance, financial assistance (in certain circumstances) or even providing transport or a translator. If you are not a past member of the

Services the welfare support is not available to you but we can certainly help in pointing you in the right direction. You will also benefit (as do all members) from a reduced fee for all of our arranged trips and events, sometimes as much as 10€ per trip.

For more information please come along to one of our regular coffee mornings on the 1st Thursday of each month and a monthly meeting on the 3rd Thursday of each month, or contact the chairman, Chris Pearce on 630 56 26 18, E-mail: hello@chrispearce.co.uk or visit our website at britishlegion.org.uk/ branches/albox As well as the Summer BBQ on the 8th September, there will be a Remembrance Dinner Dance on the 12th November and the Xmas Bazaar on the 1st December.

Di, our dearest friend, left us so very suddenly on Saturday 13th August. Di was always the life and soul wherever she was. Always there for everyone. Mojácar has many special characters, and Di was most certainly one of those. She has been taken from us all, far too soon. Di will be sadly missed, especially by Tommy and her lovely family.

Tel: 950 475 110 PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: ON STRANGER TIDES ... Flamboyant seafarer Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) lands himself in a bit of a bind after being lured into Blackbeard' s (Ian McShane) ship by enigmatic siren Angelica (Penelope Cruz), and forced to seek out the fountain of youth. Trapped on the Queen Anne's revenge with the most notorious pirate in history, Captain Jack reflects on his past with the elusive Angelica while embarking on his wildest adventure to date. With shambling zombies on the deck and gorgeous mermaids beckoning sailors into the icy waters below, this time Jack Sparrow has his work cut out for him. Also starring Geoffrey Rush and Keith Richards this film doesn’t fail to deliver to fans of the series and to those who are POTC virgins alike. A must see!
Mojácar Town Hall has taken a further step in helping PAWS, the local animal protection society which has been struggling with financial problems all year. It has offered the society free use, on a ten-year agreement, of premises forming the basis of a new PAWS shop. Mojácar’s Lady Mayoress Rosa Maria Cano, who handed over the lease, stressed the importance of PAWS’ work, not only in Mojácar, but in surrounding municipalities. “They requested greater collaboration from us, and we thought giving these premises could be a good start,” she said. The lease will not be effective until October, and further work will be necessary to adapt it to the needs of a shop, but the offer has been very warmly welcomed by PAWS. “This is a big step forward for us,” said PAWS President Karen Polansky. “It will release a lot of money - €5,000-€6,000 a year which we presently spend on renting premises – to spend where it is really needed, on direct care for abandoned animals. We are very grateful to Mojácar and Rosa Maria Cano for continuing the support for PAWS which began in May with a €2,000 grant.” The present PAWS shop (next to the Juana Torres Tobacco shop, near The Parador Hotel) will probably continue to operate until the end of the year. The new premises are not big enough to provide necessary storage and sorting space as well as the actual shop. Enquiries are underway to explore renting an area close to the new shop, in the Multicentro opposite the Parque Comercial – or even retaining some storage space in the present location. In the 22 years of PAWS existence, the only previous municipal support it had ever received was a small, one-off grant from Mojacar in 2001. But discussions have begun with Mojácar about helping PAWS to put its case to the Mancomunidad (the association of all the local authorities in the Levante). PAWS has an operating radius of 50 km around Mojacar, and the society deals with stray animals from many other Town Hall areas. “It has been our dream for years, that maybe we could get support from all the town halls in whose areas we work” said Karen Polansky. “This is taking us a step closer to realising that.” Further information can be obtained or questions answered via pawsenquiries@gmail.com.

ENERA: A quiet dog, Enera is people friendly but she can be bossy with some dogs, however she gets along well with those in her kennel and play groups. She is athletic and has jumped or climbed over enclosure fencing so would need to be in an environment where she cannot easily escape. She enjoys going out for walks and is energetic during play. FERRO: Can you give this handsome and lovely Doberman a good home? Ferro is a friendly and active dog that loves to play and be involved in all kinds of activities. He gets on well with other dogs, though he does not seem to be aware of his own size and sometimes plays a little rough with the others. But he means no harm. Because he spends most of his time with other dogs he is a little less sure about us humans, so may step back at first approach from strangers but then relaxes and makes contact. A really nice and energetic teenage dog.

As Bono has entered adolescence he does not get on well with all other dogs and prefers human company. He has grown quite large and this handsome fellow has quite a presence about him. Perhaps best to be homed as a single dog or with a more dominant older dog.

Generally speaking, the Higher Authority and I get along fine. We are like a couple of wellmatched carthorses, ploughing Life’s furrow in tandem, proceeding steadily and inexorably on our designated way, in step and in harmony with each other. We have had many years of practice at this harmony, and by and large I get it right. I know my place, and a comfortable place it is, too. Moments of strife have been few and far between, and raised voices are rare in our house. However, the other day I really put my foot in it – in fact I blundered headlong into a bottomless morass from which I have not yet managed to extricate myself. I truly did not see it coming. All I said was ‘Which one would you like?’ She replied ‘Which one do you prefer?’ Ever the gentleman, I had given her a choice. All I needed was a definitive ‘This one.’ So I pointed out to her, quite reasonably, that I needed an answer, not another question. I could see a little thunder cloud start to form on her brow, so I hastily added ‘You women always answer a question with a question.’ I had hoped that passing the statement on to womankind as a whole, not just her, would make her see the innocent truth of my statement, but it was too late. She had taken umbrage, and not just a little bit, but the whole nine yards, if umbrage can be measured in yards. Quietly and in a conversational tone she countered with; ‘I was merely offering you the courtesy of voicing your own preference, showing appreciation of your taste before giving my own opinion. It was not a question, it was an expression of politeness, such as is expected in civilised society.’ And with that she calmly walked off. Wow! I was dumbstruck. When Shakespeare said that the pen is mightier than the sword, he had clearly not fallen foul of Anne Hathaway’s tongue. Since then neither of us has asked the other one a question. Have you ever gone through even a day without asking a question? It is nearly impossible! The worst of it is that I have no idea how to restore the status quo – an apology won’t do it (sign of weakness) I’m in too deep for flowers or chocolates, so maybe a meal out? But where? I have no idea which restaurant she would prefer, and I can’t ask, can I? Perhaps, if she reads this, she will understand my predicament, and forgive my faux pas. Also, my dearest, I wish to state that carthorses are not fat lumbering sweaty creatures, they are magnificent symbols of power. I stress the word magnificent……. PAGE 27

‘Hissing Sid’ went out with two mates, ‘Ice cool Paul’ (the worldwide refrigeration man) who was over from County Down, Ireland and ‘Surveyor Tony’. They had a good day out with the sea as flat as a pancake and caught weavers, pandoras, Spanish mackerel, stripped bream and triggers. ‘Orca Steve’ took John & Anne and their 3 girls Jody, Lauren and Abby out on holiday in Mojacar from the UK. Sea conditions were perfect with no swell and beautiful calm conditions; the only wind coming from the S.W. from 11.30am and excellent for a day’s fishing. They fished in front of the Repsol Station (makes a change for Steve, as if!) about ½ a mile out in 180ft of water and Anne was the first to catch on her first drop in with a medium size pickerel. The rest of the crew soon followed Anne's catch with their own of pickerels, combers, pandoras and the odd weaver. Jody broke the trend by striking into a nice Atlantic mackerel, this being her first fish of the day. The Mackerel were obviously in the area and soon it was John and Anne landing Spanish and Atlantic mackerel at the same time! (the
Atlantic and Spanish mackerel shoal together despite their type). Anne then landed the biggest weaver that Steve has ever seen, followed shortly after by a small red snapper. Abby caught a fish that Steve hadn’t seen before which had large secondary pectoral fins with bright blue colours along the front and underside of the fin, it looked to him to be one of the gurnard family. (I saw the photo and it was a tub gurnard). The fishing dropped off around mid day so John, Jody and Abby decided to dive off the boat for a nice cool refreshing swim, quite safely in the perfect conditions. They fished for another hour but with little success so it was back to port for a refreshing beer and tapas. A great day out with great people. I fished only once this week and was out with ‘Orca Steve’ on his Garrucha moored boat. I was joined by my ‘Brother-in-Law, Keith’, ‘Paul the Rope’, ‘Chef Jeremy’ and his son Nick. We headed first for the Repsol garage on the Mojacar road where we drifted from 120 feet to 350 feet with the help of a mild off-shore wind. Jeremy was soon into a good fish and a 4 to 5lb snapper went into Steve’s net. Both Keith and I lost good fish with what I’m guessing was a conger bit the bottom hook and lead from Keith’s trace. I lost a good snapper and what I believe was a very good trigger. It took line and kited using the shape of its body whereas snappers generally don’t do the latter. I’m starting to get paranoid about them now and have lost five in two trips. How they get off the hook I don’t know, it’s hard enough to unhook them on the boat as they have very tough mouths. Maybe too tough and the hooks are not getting a good enough hold.

When it all went quiet we moved opposite the harbour and drifted in 150 to 300 feet. Nothing doing and so moved closer in and anchored just off my favourite 250 foot hole in only 150 feet and closer to the shore. I thought here we would ambush some inshore palagics or maybe some meagre which should be well on the feed now after their spawning. I also put on a conger rig as we were near the harbour rocks. Basically nothing much was doing and I put it down to this being the first good sea day for four days, the same happened to me last week when lads following us out did much better. We finished the day with 6 species and the ones not previously mentioned were Spanish mackerel, weavers, pandoras, combers and bogues. ‘London Bill’ told me he’s fed up with the heat and took a week off fishing, I can’t believe it! The next Anglers Together meeting is 12 o’clock, Saturday 10th September at The New Royal Bar and Restaurant at El Alamillo, opposite the sea-front between Isla Plana and Puerto de Mazarron. There will be some second-hand tackle and magazines available. For further details ring Alan Roscoe 968 570 876 or Email: anglerstogether@hotmail.co.uk The Albox fishing club meets every two weeks at the Azafran restaurant. For the next meeting tel: 677 655 049 For further information on any of the above or to find out about beach, boat or coarse fishing licenses, see John at the Beachcomber Bar Restaurant on Mojacar Playa or tel 950 473 099. In case of difficulty reaching me (probably out fishing) ask staff for my mobile number.
