Coastal development project could be shelved “Given the inability of Orihuela Town Hall to plan and provide adequate services for the existing 35,000 residents of Orihuela Costa, to allow an increase in the population of some 10,000 residents would be a disaster for the quality of life of those living on the coast.” CLARO President Bob Houliston

A huge development project centre around the building of 4,000 new houses in Orihuela Costa may be rejected and the news brings a mixed response from the community. oastal political party CLARO believes the report that the Valencia regional government is questioning the megaproject is ‘good news’. Others believe that the development would stimulate growth and provide much needed opportunities for the local economy. If the project were agreed it could increase the population by some 10,000 new residents. Orihuela Costa already has 35,000 residents, more than Orihuela city, contributes over 60 percent of the revenues of the municipality and receives in return what many believe are inadequate services such as street cleaning, has no proper parks and gardens and not even a police station open 24-hours a day. CLARO President Bob Houliston said: “Given the inability of Orihuela Town Hall to plan and provide adequate services for the

existing 35,000 residents of Orihuela Costa, to allow an increase in the population of some 10,000 residents would be a disaster for the quality of life of those living on the coast.” Should it go ahead, the huge building project would be situated in Orihuela Costa, on the San Miguel-Pilar road, close to Campoamor Golf Club and bordering the natural park of the Sierra Escalona. The development would cover is a massive 1,400,000 square metres of land, which currently is full of pine trees, orange and lemon groves, and other vegetation. It is said to have a wildlife population of birds and animals including owls and eagles, similar to that of the Sierra Escalona which has been designated a natural park to ensure their environmental protection. The area it would cover is also some 500 metres from the ‘burning waste tip’, close to Las Ramblas urbanisation and golf course, which is spewing out toxic fumes endangering the health of those living nearby as well as the environment generally. CLARO believes that the environmental damage as well as the proximity of the illegal burning waste tip are further reasons for not allowing this megabuilding project to come to fruition. Bob continued: “The regional government of Valencia is to be congratulated on subjecting this environmentally destructive project, entitled PAU-5, to the closest scrutiny. The project dates back to 1994 and was approved by the Orihuela Popular Party government in 2009 and was denounced by CLARO then for the environmental destruction it would involve.” It still has not yet been approved by the Valencia regional government and the fact that the new Master Plan for Orihuela is nearing completion, and may not include provision for such a project is reported to be the reason for the developer to be anxious to speed up the process. In the past this would have been a

Update on school transport The deadline for submission of applications for emergency help with school transport was the 24th October. The town council has announced that all those applying have had their applications processed. This aid should not be confused with assistance that families can apply for at the end of the school year. The town hall are concerned that misinformation is being spread with the intention of manipulating the views of parents. They are keen that anyone who has a question approaches the education offices on Calle Maldonado, 5. Bajo where questions can be answered in full.

simple matter of getting approval, but this is no longer the case. An ecological friendly government is in power in Valencia and they are carrying out an environmental impact study of PAU-5 seeking the contribution of groups such as the Friends of Sierra Escalona, which is strongly opposed to major urban developments in environmentally sensitive areas. This group opposed the Las Colinas Golf project which is close by and actually sit in the geographic area of the Sierra Escalona.

Challenge CLARO is urging the government of Orihuela and the political parties within the Town Council to oppose the PAU-5 development project and to ensure that in the new Master Plan for Orihuela it and similar mega projects would be excluded. Bob said: “We challenge the previous Socialist Party councillor for Urban Affairs to confirm that the Master Plan which he was then responsible for would exclude the PAU5 project. He must appreciate that the realisation of such a project would not only be disastrous for the environment but also, because of insufficient funds, services and infrastructure in Orihuela Costa, would be disastrous for the quality of life of residents. We urge the government of Valencia to oppose this project and to turn its attention as soon as possible to the future of Cala Mosca, the last green area on Orihuela Costa.” The plan to build 1,500 new houses on Cala Mosca, another mega project which would add 5,000 new residents to the coastal population, has been stopped by a decision of the European Parliament on the basis of a CLARO petition signed by over 7,000 people presented to the parliament in 2010. Bob concluded: “The government of Valencia has the next word to say on the future of Cala Mosca and we hope, like PAU5, this project will also be rejected.”

New traders boost Orihuela markets Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal The 2015 Poppy Appeal Launch for Spain took place recently in Benidorm in glorious sunshine. The Standards of the Branches within District North Spain paraded with pride through the streets accompanied by the Torrevieja Pipes and Drums. Two Chelsea Pensioners flew over especially for the event and took part in the parade; to the applause of the hundreds of onlookers. The President of the District Lloyd Milen, Vice Consul for the British Consulate in Alicante, gave an address providing some interesting facts on expat life in Spain. Sara-Jane Morris the Consul was also present. Speeches were also made by Nigel Hails the Chairman of the District and Mr Robin Hargrave The Poppy Appeal Co-ordinator who encouraged people to give generously again this year and exceed last Year’s record total Of €188,000 euros. Each year The Royal British Legion encourages everyone to buy a poppy and wear it with pride. The poppy was originally chosen as the symbol of remembrance because it grew in Flanders fields where so many lost their lives. However today’s Poppy Appeal aimed at all service personal from all conflicts, not just the World Wars. The

Appeal now helps thousands of modern veterans, Service men, women and their families with vital advice and support. Remembrance is part of modern British life, culture and heritage and with the poppy being the symbol of Remembrance and hope. Boxes of poppies have been delivered to businesses across the Costa Blanca. The Legion spends £200,000 each day to assist Armed Forces personnel and their families. By making a donation for your poppy you are supporting those who have dedicated their lives to serving their country. Our Welfare Co-ordinator can be contacted on 676 451 780. For over 90 years, The Poppy Factory in Richmond, Surrey, has been making poppies, crosses and wreaths for the Royal Family and The Royal British Legion’s annual Poppy Appeal.

The Councillor for Markets, Damaso Aparicio, has reported that the department has received more than 140 applications to fill the 166 vacancies available across all of the local markets in the municipality. The deadline for submissions was 20th October and the councillor is confident that all of the applicants are eligible. The major markets are located in Orihuela Centre with 67 applications for 31 available pitches, Campoamor 94 places for 6 pitches, 71 traders applied for the 2 pitches available at Playa Flamenca and La Murada had 34 traders vying for 26 vacancies. There are also pitches in other districts such as San Bartolomé, Desamparados, La Aparecida, Torremendo and La Campaneta up for grabs. Councillor Aparicio said: “We are working under the guidelines set by the Municipal Ordinance, and the next step is to establish within 10 days any areas that applicants need to correct to ensure there are no deficiencies on the applications. Then we can move forward with the tender process as published.” Regarding this process, the councillor said a

special commission will be responsible for assessing each submission. The composition of this body, which will take place this week, will consist of the councillor, the municipal technical delegate, an administrative assistant, a non-Government team member and a AFIC agent. The Councillor for Markets also took the opportunity to discuss the upcoming relocation of the Orihuela City Tuesday market. He said that the Department requires the agreement of the Local Board of Trade to the proposal - which meets today, Tuesday 27th October. He said: “That is the correct official process; that this body must be heard in case of relocation of the markets, and its resolution will be made after assessing the proposals and the technical reports provided by the AFIC agent.” Councillor Aparicio was keen to state that the Department of Markets remains open to proposals and suggestions by opposition groups, but said that what he finds surprising is ‘how councilors of the previous legislature, that never raised or acted on this issue now want to establish forums for dialogue’.

The tapas route is here again There might have been changes in government but one thing that isn’t going anywhere is the famous Ruta de la Tapa in Torrevieja. On Friday 23rd October, Councillor Fanny Serrano announced the coming of the 13th tapas route. It will take place from Thursday to Sunday between the 19th and 29th November. The tapas will be served from 12.00 pm until 4.30 pm and from 7.30 pm until 11.00 pm on the days Thursday 19th, Friday 20th, Saturday 21st and Sunday 22nd November and Thursday 26th, Friday 27th, Saturday 28th and the final day for this round will be Sunday 29th. Fanny Serrano has announced that those restaurants and bars wanting to take part should now enrol and must do so before the 30th October. They must register on the website www.rutadelatapatorrevieja.com and pay €50 for the privilege. They must log both the names and ingredients of the tapas they will serve over both weekends.

As previously, there will be two types of tapas ‘Tapa de la Casa’ and ‘Tapa Gourmet’ with the gourmet version being slightly more expensive at €2.50 in comparison to the house version at €2.00. It’s not only the tapas you get for this price but a drink is included too, making it a very reasonable way of spending an enjoyable evening. The different venues compete to have their tapas voted as the best. There are incentives too for the public to participate. Different prizes are available including a smartphone and one night in the Hotel León del Balneario de Archena. Prizes can be won by those entering their votes for their favourite tapas dish. Those wanting to have a chance of winning one of these prizes must collect a card, fill it correctly with stamps and place it in the boxes in one of the participating restaurants. November can be a rather dreary month. At least the tapas route should brighten up the town and bring the people out. Suzanne O’Connell

Boost for tourism The regional secretary of Tourism, Francesc Colomer, has signed an agreement with José Manuel Dolon to promote the image and products of Torrevieja. This collaboration with the Valencian Tourism Agency is very important for securing the future of tourism in the town. The agreement between the Valencian Regional Tourist Board and the City of Torrevieja will mean additional marketing opportunities, particularly aimed at helping promote the Torrevieja rice competition. Food-linked events such as this and the Tapas Route are particularly vital and would benefit from further investment.

Public lighting disputes The town hall has come under criticism from the opposition about the state of public lighting in the city. However, Jose Manuel Dolon has answered back by pointing out that the infrastructure of the town is in a very poor state and has hardly been touched in the last thirty years. ‘It will take more than four months to resolve the problems,’ he says. Some large projects to restore lighting are now approved. These include in the Rocio del Mar and El Acequión. These two budgets alone come to €360,000 and €128,000 respectively. Currently technicians are having difficulties finding and isolating the source of problems. Areas for repair have been identified but are costly and extensive and will need to be prioritised with a view to sustainability in the long term.

Where exactly is the CIAJ? IIt was good to hear that there was a lot of interest in the article published in edition 605 about Bill Wright’s presentation on flight. Bill Wright was an aircraft accident investigator and he is set to present his talk on the 11th November at 5.00 pm at the CIAJ in Torrevieja. The only problem is that many people do not know what or where the CIAJ is. We apologise for not including the address. Bill’s talk will be at the CIAJ (Centro de Informacion y Animacion Juvenil) Torrevieja on Paseo Juan Aparicio, 5. The building is right on the front close to Café del Siglo where most people have strolled many times but may not have noticed the building itself. The CIAJ is deceptively long and provides plenty of room for those expected to come to Bill’s talk. It’s a good opportunity for people not only to find out more about how flight works but also to find out what happens there.

Panto season is on its way What better way to start that Christmas feeling than by going to a panto? On Thursday 26th November at 3pm and on Friday 27th November and Saturday 28th November at 8pm there will be performances of Sleeping Beauty by Stagestruck at the Cardenal Belluga Theatre in San Fulgencio. The script has been written by Stella Reardon and the show directed by Leigh Humphries. The cast includes some familiar faces such as Blanca Helena Sierra who plays Sleeping Beauty but also welcomes some new cast, such as Victoria Scott who plays the Principal Boy. Continued on page 5

Admit One – the English language film club For many years it has been difficult to see a film in English at the cinema in Torrevieja. Occasionally you might be able to access the English translation via headphones. A poor substitute for seeing and hearing the film with its original sound. This is about to change. The ‘Admit One’ Cinema Club is about to offer new English films on a weekly basis from Torrevieja’s own Cines IMF. This is a great breakthrough for those who have been missing their regular trip to the pictures. Starting from November anyone will be able to visit Cines IMF and pay to see a film in English. Access to these films is not reliant on you being a member of the club. However, there are other advantages if you sign up and register with Admit One. It will only cost €20 to join which includes the first year of membership and takes you through to December 31st 2016. If you join after June 1st 2016 it will only be €10. Membership runs from January 1st to December 31st and founder members who sign up now will receive the first two months free plus added bonuses throughout next year. Benefits of being a member • €5 admission to all English language films, Monday to Thursday (€7 on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays and fiestas) • special raffles and competitions • special prices for popcorn and drinks • members’ only nights with a screening of different films • members’ only Dinner and Movie packages • the first every week to hear about the new films to be shown • special loyalty programme It is hoped that one of the first films to be shown will be ‘Spectre’ with Daniel Craig as 007. The opening night is November 6th in Spain and Admit One has announced that they have the film in English. Another planned screening will be Star Wars 7 which is due to be released in December. It is still early days in drawing up the details of how the club will work. More details about how to sign up to the club will be announced next week. However, it is an exciting development for those who live in the region and should prove popular. Suzanne O’Connell

mireille@costablancapeople.com At a recent meeting held at the Civic Centre, Orihuela Costa, local residents formed a work group concerned with securing a Day Care centre, with specific special needs services for and located on the Orihuela Costa. The meeting was attended by people who have long term medical conditions, together with their carers and members of the local community who believe the coast needs its own centres. Bob

Houliston, President of CLARO took a front row seat to show support and the meeting was addressed by guest speakers from several relevant support groups such as Stroke Support Torrevieja, EU Untouchables, a Founder of AMMA and Norah Bond, head of Help At Home Costa Blanca. Currently there are two Day Care centres located in the centre of Orihuela, with a considerable amount of money having just been invested in the second which has only recently opened. This means that the local government have no intention, or budget, of opening another any time soon. The problem of course is distance, many of those with medical and mobility issues living on the coast cannot drive due to their conditions. Figures from Help at Home Costa Blanca show there more than 100 people living in Orihuela Costa suffering from conditions such as Parkinson’s Disease, Motor Neurone Disease, Alzheimer’s, Huntingdon’s who desperately need local, accessible support services. The Coast has an aging population and so that figure will continue to grow. However, the lack of facilities also affects babies and young children with medical or special needs. Imagine trying to take an ill toddler on an unreliable bus service three times a week for physio therapy treatment, for example. Even if the family has access to a car the distance and travelling is very tiring from anyone who is chronically ill, whether young or old. Norah Bond said: “More and more

people need care and support services on a continuous basis. Help at Home Costa Blanca has, almost by default, stepped into this role because there is no local provision. However, we were only ever established to provide short term support and are unable to sustain long term care. We desperately need the local government to take the responsibility.” The newly formed working group will meet every fortnight and is determined to inspire the local government to work with them to secure premises and provide the treatments and services required. CLARO recently proposed a motion calling for a Day Centre for the Coast but

given the second new centre opened in the city it fell on deaf ears. According to EU Law each and every European citizen has to have equal treatment and many feel for those with special needs this is not the case. This seem particularly unfair

considering that taxpayers from the Orihuela Costa fund 60 percent of the local council budget and have no Day Care Centre at all and yet the 40 percent taken from the City affords them two. The Coast has no dedicated social worker, no physiotherapist for the old or the young and no care facility. Those who need the care most are most unlikely to access the city based services due to the severity of

their conditions; unable to make or afford the 60 km round trip. Norah said: “We can help raise funds for a Day Care Centre and have already identified several trained practitioners who want to work with us from exercise specialists to physiotherapists. We will be meeting with local councillors to discuss out plans and are hopeful of their support.”

All time high for breast cancer survival Breast cancer survival rates at all-time high thanks to early diagnosis and improved treatment. With World Breast Cancer Day still fresh in our minds and events celebrated locally and taking place across Spain, health authorities have released positive data about the outlook for women diagnosed in the second decade of the 21st century. Demonstrations with women wearing the trademark pink headscarf, sponsored walks, balloon releases and fun-runs to raise money for research and care, homages to celebrity survivors such as actress, model and singer Bimba Bosè, TV presenter Terelu Campos, singer Luz Casal and Australian pop legend Kylie Minogue, and to actress Penélope Cruz for her role in Ma Ma, a film about a woman's struggle with the disease, and awareness campaigns filled streets and headlines last week. For Spain as a whole, five-year survival rates are said to be around 90 percent for breast cancer, compared with the 1980s when only 30 percent of patients found their cancer came back. Figures usually only stretch to five years, since it is generally considered that a cancer will not return after this time, and if the patient is diagnosed again it will be a different cancer altogether (a secondary cancer) rather than the same one recurring. A recent invention in Valencia, known as the PET scan – a type of 3D X-ray – is likely to become widespread in the foreseeable future and can detect tumours of less than a millimetre in diameter. Tumours of an inch long are often found to be early-stage, meaning those of a millimetre are highly-treatable. The increasing success rate of treatment is largely due to more frequent cases of early diagnosis. Caught at a very early stage, breast cancer can normally be treated and eradicated within under a year, and those who do not survive are more likely to have been diagnosed late. Women in Spain are called for a routine mammogram at different ages, depending upon regions – in Valencia, these are every two years from age 45 to 69 and in Asturias for example, it’s every year from age 50 to 69. The disease usually affects postmenopausal women and the risk diminishes from the age of 70, although more women in their 70s and even older are tending to be diagnosed nowadays and some hospitals are campaigning for the routine mammogram to be given practically for life. In addition, one in five patients are now under 45 – an age at which breast cancer tends to be rarer but more aggressive when it does appear. Mammograms are not normally given to women under 45 unless they are considered a higher risk, since breast tissue is much denser and the test is far less effective. An ultrasound scan is given whenever a mammogram result throws up any doubt. Women, especially those too young for a routine mammogram, who have any family history of breast cancer – dating back even to great-aunts and greatgrandmothers – should tell their doctor, since at the first sign of any possible problem they will be immediately referred as a priority. Lumps or changes in breasts, including any pain, should be reported straight away and the patient should never ‘feel silly’ or that she is ‘overreacting’ – whilst in nearly every case, these have a harmless cause that does not require treatment, it is better not to run the risk and doctors prefer to send probable false alarms for tests that turn out to be unnecessary than have the patient diagnosed too late.

Going for testing when called for increases the chances of a tumour being caught early – before it has reached the lymph nodes – by 27 percent. A figure that is true across Spain as a whole.

Increasing cases Breast cancer is more common now than 20 years ago, says the regional health authority, because of changes in women's reproductive patterns. Women are tending to have their first child later in life or not at all, and have fewer children, sometimes stopping after one. Breast-feeding is strongly recom-

mended where possible – not just for the baby's health but for the mother, since it has been proven to protect women against breast cancer. Whilst breast cancer remains the most common cause of death in women in every country in the world, improvements in diagnoses and treatment, and removing the ‘scare factor’ behind medical checks meaning more women coming forward have meant that the outlook is constantly getting better and has already made dramatic positive advances in relatively few years. According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), 70 percent of breast cancer deaths occur in third-world or developing countries where testing and treatment is either limited, not available, or health services are too overstretched due to lack of financial and human resources. For women fortunate enough to be born in the affluent west, those who are diagnosed with breast cancer automatically have no more than a 30 percent chance of not surviving purely because of where they live.

Calling all volunteers! On Saturday 24th October it was opportunity to celebrate and recruit for all those people who are or might like to be volunteers. Volunteering is nothing new but in tight economic times even more dependency is placed on those who give their time and services for nothing. In order to draw attention to the possibilities in Torrevieja a whole day was dedicated to the role of the volunteer from 9.00 am to 3.00 pm. Different associations that rely on voluntary workers set up their tables on the Paseo Juán Aparicio near to the Hombre del Mar in order to publicise what they do. The number and variety of ONGs (organización no gubernamental) was impressive. Most had something to sell on their table as well as raising awareness of what they did through handing out literature, and, of course, hoping for volunteers. There were the organisations you would expect such as the AECC and Afa but also some less well-known groups such as Misión Posible. This organisation based on Calera 2 are helping those who are ‘without papers’ and are destitute; the people we see daily scavenging in the bins. They are looking for donations from restaurants as well as volunteers and were keen to put forward their message about the increasing demand for their services.

Entertainment too In order to help proceedings along there was timetabled entertainment on the stage. This included free Zumba classes, Latin guitars, the choir Coral Bella Torrevieja and Cantus Colorus. The dance group Payas performed two dances followed by a group of Sevillanas. The day had been organised by Councillor Carmen Morate who explained that its main purpose was to gather more volunteers. However she was a little disappointed that although plenty of people had turned out not many were actually signing up.

Data bank However, Carmen hopes that new initiatives, such as the volunteering data bank will help. ‘It can be difficult to find volunteers for the odd day if a charity is doing something special,’ she explains.

anyone can access and that are free.

Some charities absent

HELP Vega Baja had their stall

‘Perhaps it’s a day out and they need people to help with the wheelchairs. They need extras just for that day. Volunteering can be really rewarding. Meeting new people, learning new skills. You can end up getting more out of it than you put in.’ Information about those who are able to volunteer, their preferences and strengths is being collected by ATIS, Asociación con Iniciativa Social de Torrevieja. Details of charities are included on the website and currently Age Concern, Reach Out and Help Vega Baja are all listed there. Each charity has a summary of information about them including websites, email contacts, opening hours and what volunteers can do to help them as well as a map to show where they are located. For Carmen the idea is that charities work together to share ideas, and, in some cases, volunteers and resources too. Susan Anderson attended the day representing Help Vega Baja. ‘We were invited to a meeting about a month ago to discuss ideas such as this volunteers day,’ she says. ‘I think it’s a really good idea that we pool our thoughts. It was the first time that I’d been to a meeting like that.’ Help Vega Baja is a well-known charity that helps provide advice and information as well as a 24 hour emergency help line, hospital visiting, help for the bereaved and friendship groups. ‘We are always looking for volunteers,’ says Susan. Although some of HELPs services are for members only they also offer a large number of services that

Carmen is hoping to have a meeting at least every three months to bring ONGs together. She recognises that there can be language difficulties for some of the English-speaking groups but speaks fluent English herself and will be there to help with communication. Other than HELP Vega Baja there were no specifically English-speaking organisations represented. It’s possible that absence of fluent Spanish speakers, lack of communication or insufficient notice meant that other groups felt unable to take part. Either way it was a shame not to see more there on the day. The day also presented opportunities to buy handmade objects to raise money for the different associations. The diabetic association, Diabéticos de Torrevieja’ provided tests for glucose and high blood pressure for those wanting to check their health. ‘Rimini’ was the host for the day which was all put together using resources already available at no cost to the town hall. This was a very good example of charities working together and supporting each other. It would be good to have a more diverse representation next time round.

San Fulgencio road race Last Sunday saw local runners take part in the fifth annual ‘Carrera Popular Villa’ a 10k road race held in San Fulgencio. The race weaves its way through the streets of the town on a circuit that considered by runners to be particularly difficult for several reasons, especially the hilly nature of the route. The race has developed into a fivekilometer circuit, which participants run for two laps.

This year saw more than 310 people of different ages, genders and abilities take part. A full report of the race, details of participants and their times can be found on-line at: www.championchiplevante.com The top three finishers in the senior men’s category were Mohamed Khttab, Ricardo and Alejandro Cremades Dura and Galvañ Carbonell.

The importance of breakfast A study conducted by the University Hospital of San Juan de Alicante has revealed links between bad breakfast habits and heart attacks. The study examined the habits of those admitted to the hospital with acute coronary difficulties and found that half of them did not routinely have a good breakfast. Doctor Cordero, head of the Cardiology department, explained that between 10 and 18% of Spanish people do not have breakfast and that those who do not have breakfast are more likely by up to 27% to suffer from a heart attack than those who do. 181 patients were analysed who attended the hospitals of San Juan de Alicante and Valencia General between February and July 2014. The survey included ten questions related to the degree to which the patients stuck to the Mediterranean diet and about their general lifestyle and healthy eating. The study showed that 44 of the patients (24.3%) admitted that they did not usually eat breakfast and 76 of them (42%) had bad breakfast eating habits. Those patients who do not eat breakfast were also more likely to smoke, be inactive and to snack between meals. These snacks are usually less healthy including more fats and less fish. The study highlights the importance of having a good

breakfast as the most important meal of the day. Breakfast breaks the longest period during which the body goes without food and therefore it is particularly important that the body receives the right balance of nutrients at this crucial time in the morning. Not having breakfast causes the body to take its source of nutrients from elsewhere releasing fatty acids stored in the liver and muscles. This is then also linked with the onset of diabetes. Doctor Cordero says,’ After this period of rest, the body is more prepared to absorb nutrients. Seeing the bad habits of the patients analysed in this study, it is very important to ensure that people are educated into sitting for at least ten minutes every day whilst they have their breakfast.’ Breakfast should include a drink as well as solid food. There should be a balance of proteins and carbohydrates that can be readily absorbed such as bread, cereals or crackers with some form of dairy product such as milk or yogurt. Vitamins should be taken through eating nuts and fruits and wholemeal bread, cereals and fruit can provide the fibre needed. Suzanne O’Connell

Guardamar hosts first Citizen Participation Conference Last Friday evening in the auditorium of Casa de Cultura saw the town of Guardamar host its first Conference of Citizen Participation. The Mayor of the town, José Luis Sáez and the Councillor for Citizen Participation, José María Hernández, were responsible for opening the event, highlighting the importance of the new local government wishing to invite the participation of all citizens in decision making and management processes of the municipality. Part of the commitment to achieving that end has been to establish a ‘preparation group’ and it was this group that was responsible for opening the presentations. These were led by Francisco José Francesa, who explained how these sessions would be run and the importance for the town and its inhabitants in being able to have a say in important issues such as municipal management

policies, participation, suggestions, views, involvement and debate on municipal budgets, heritage management and leisure. Also participating in this presentation were various associations of Guardamar such as those concerned with education, social issues, disabled groups, medical support groups and charities. The following day was spent debating specific issues and formulating action plans and next steps to action the decisions agreed. The City Council said that it was pleased with the results of the first open contact session with its citizens and will hold the next session on Saturday 14th November, where impressions will be collected and workshops held that reflect the information collated at this first session.

Sagrada Família will be finished by Gaudi centenary Barcelona’s iconic but unfinished Sagrada Família Cathedral will be completed by the year 2026 - the 100th anniversary of its designer's death. The brainchild of flamboyant modern architect Antoni Gaudí - whose other works include the Parc Güell in the same city and a restaurant in Comillas, Cantabria - plans for the temple were drawn up in 1883 and work started in 1886. It was still under construction in 1926 when Gaudí was run over by a bus, and failed to recover from his serious injuries. Works have been ongoing ever since under the auspices of no less than nine different architects, although very slowly, and diggers and cranes have almost become an integral decorative feature of the Catalunya capital's best-known tourist attraction. The current architect Jordi Faulí i Oller took over the reins in 2012, and says that by 2017 the central towers will start to become ‘visible’ from the ground if work starts on them as planned next year, and should be mostly finished by the year 2020 ‘aside from a few pinnacles’. During a presentation in the Sala Creuer (Hall of the Cross), another new addition to the cathedral, Faulí said the lower part of the towers were already in place and that there would be six towers in total –

the Tower of Jesus, the Tower of Mary and the four Towers of the Evangelists. The Sala Creuer is at the base of the future Tower of Jesus and just above the main nave of the temple. Faulí expects the complete design to have been built to spec, inside and out, by the year 2026, the centenary of Gaudí's death. He says by his own calculations, it will probably be he who brings the work to a close.

What a performance! Trying to get tickets for England v Spain Let’s hope that the performance on the night is up to the effort put in by so many of those struggling to get tickets to watch the match. It had been given plenty of publicity which perhaps didn’t help those who rushed to their computers on the 21st October at 12.00 pm. You could almost hear the roar of frustration as football fans toiled for hours to get a seat from one of the two websites www.rfef.es and www.sefutbol.com The match is organised for the 13th November in Alicante and is only a friendly but given the number of English people living in the area it was bound to attract a lot of attention. Many of the problems with getting hold of tickets seem to have been related to the acceptance of credit and debit cards. Some of those having their card rejected put it down to it being a British credit card. However, many people with Spanish bank cards had the same problem. Selecting seats close together was difficult given that availability was constantly changing on the site. Once you were successful. you had, in theory, 20 minutes to purchase them. However, if the details you entered weren’t accepted then you were sent back to the beginning and had to start all over again. One of our readers was so frustrated that he decided to try the pop-up help line. He was told that it must be the card he was using that hadn’t been approved for buying online. A reason he wouldn’t accept given he uses it frequently for buying over the internet. For those who still haven’t managed to purchase theirs, we’ve been told that the tickets will be available to buy at the stadium between the 5th

and 12th November. People on the forums have been speculating that a specified number have already been offered to Hercules fans. It is perhaps more likely that many tickets

were sold to agents prior to their public release. Some people were reporting getting hold of theirs the day before they were out on the official websites. Others reported getting hold of their tickets from the Hercules website. There were the lucky ones who seem to have had no problem. However, for many, 13th November will go down as a day they want to forget whatever the outcome of the match might be. Suzanne O’Connell

Spain gets less holidays than Germany It appears the old joke about there always being a fiesta in Spain may not hold true anymore. The perception on productivity is that Spain lags behind powerhouses like Germany due to its relaxed approach to business and work in general, but this impression is a false one.

The number of national and regional holidays being proposed for next year in Spain falls closely in line with numbers in the rest of Europe, according to a review of the 2016 calendars in different countries. The Labor Ministry is in the next few days due to release the 2016 national work calendar, which will include the dates of official holidays for all Spanish workers. It will consist of eight national holidays, four regional celebrations and two other local days.

In Germany, workers are also entitled to 14 holiday days during the calendar year while in France the number of official observances falls just one short of the Spanish calendar. Here how holidays are celebrated across Europe: Germany. German workers are given at least 20 days holiday, but this is usually longer thanks to collective bargaining and individual contracts. Federal regional governments are responsible for setting the 14 public holidays, except for the nationally celebrated German Unity Day on 3rd October. German workers can create long weekends by combining a holiday that falls, for example, on a Wednesday or Thursday, with additional days from their entitled vacation allowance. Italy. The Italians have 12 holiday days a year, most of them religious celebrations. There are 11 national holidays, plus the feast day of the local saint. The calendar does not change from year to year: it has been fixed by law since 1949. If a holiday falls on a Sunday, it is not changed for another day, neither are holidays that fall midweek switched to Mondays or Fridays. Britain. The UK will have just eight public holidays next year, and the government usually switches them to the Monday nearest the official date they fall on, with the exception of four that are untouchable: Christmas, Boxing Day, New Year’s Day and Good Friday.

Open Day on Friday 30th October at our office in Benijofar

You’ve probably heard about the changes coming into effect from 1st January 2016 on how financial information is exchanged between Spain and the UK. In April 2013 the UK along with France, Germany, Italy and Spain (the G5) set up a pilot scheme to explore the possibility of developing a common approach to automatic exchange of financial account information. In February 2014 the Model Competent Authority Agreements for a Common Reporting Standard (CRS) was approved by the G20 as the Global Standard for Automatic Exchange of Financial Account Information. Under the new regulations, financial institutions will be required to capture information in relation to accounts in existence as at 31 December 2015, and new accounts opened on or after 1 January 2016 with first reporting in 2017. Information such as names, addresses, tax identification numbers, balance/value of assets, interest and dividend payments and any gross proceeds from the sale of financial assets will be collected. The information will be passed to the taxman and if there is any suspicious activity further investigation into where the money came from originally may be carried out. So, whereas before, information between the two countries was only exchanged where there was firm suspicion of tax evasion, now the information will be automatically exchanged.

What should you do? Firstly ensure that you are correctly declaring assets to the correct tax authorities. This might be by ensuring you submit a Moduelo 720 for assets above â‚Ź50k outside of Spain or by reviewing what tax should be paid to what tax authority (UK or Spain?) This might be a good time to consider whether your savings and investments are tax efficient to you as Spanish Ex Pat. Whatever your current situation, now is a good time to review your financial position and seek advice on how to ensure you are ready for the changes. For more information about the changes please contact us at Seagate Wealth Management on 965 704 338 or email contact@seagatewealth.es

WEEKLY EURO UPDATE The euro began Monday on the back foot following last week's trading. GBP/EUR and EUR/USD then traded in narrow ranges in a lack-lustre market ahead of Thursday’s much anticipated ECB announcement. European Central Bank policy makers are not all in agreement on how to move forward. French bank governor, Christian Noyer, voiced resistance towards expanding the bank’s quantitative easing program, while the Spanish central bank chief, Luis Maria Linde, stated the ECB could extend and modify its asset programme. The growing feeling amongst many traders was that the ECB would hold off expanding monetary policy and with a distinct lack of data to provoke volatility, the common currency held its position versus its major peers until Thursday morning As the announcement approached the euro began to lose ground. This was partly attributed to better than expected UK retail sales data which grew for the 29th month in September - sales in the month grew 6.5% from the same month of 2014. The ECB, unsurprisingly, kept interest rates unchanged, turning the focus to President Mario Draghi’s assessment of the economy for any clues on whether more stimulus is in the pipeline. The Governing Council left the main refinancing rate at a record-low 0.05 percent. The deposit rate and the marginal lending rate stayed at minus 0.2 percent and 0.3 percent, respectively. Draghi was dovish in his commentary on the prospect of enhanced easing in future months. He said the ECB would re-examine "monetary policy accommodation" i.e. the extent of QE in December. The expansion of the QE program is clearly now a possibility. It was also confirmed inflation in the euro area will remain weak in the near-term. This all meant the euro had a rather torrid Thursday. GBP/EUR opened at 1.3589 and closed at 1.3881. EUR/USD opened at 1.1346 and finished at 1.1082 When you add to this the continued uncertainty surrounding the Volkswagen exhaust emission scandal and the ever growing refugee crisis, the outlook for the single currency looks, at best, uncertain.

In the UK the jury remains out on any possible interest rate rise from the Bank of England, although September's retail sales report has increased rate hike expectations because consumer spending accounts for over two-thirds of the domestic economy. Add to this an unemployment rate of just 5.4% and the argument looks even more compelling, according to the hawks. The doves will point to the continued slowdown in the Chinese economy and concerns regarding the UK steel industry this week as reasons not to raise rates and despite what the Bank of England might say to the contrary, it would be a major surprise if the UK began tightening policy before the U.S. Mark Carney, the Bank of England Governor, also made a speech on Wednesday where he announced the result of a study into the UK's membership of the EU ahead of the referendum to come. The study concluded that Membership of the EU has made the UK economy more dynamic and able to grow without generating inflation or a financial crisis. It found the UK economy was more open and go-ahead because of its EU membership. However, the Bank also found that that greater openness had made the UK more vulnerable to problems such as the recent euro crisis. The Bank said it was "supportive" of further integration within the euro zone area. In the U.S. there has been little data to talk about and the US interest rate debate retains a heightened hold over the markets. Politicians, largely, remain keen for interest rates to stay at record lows while, in general, market participants continue to press for that elusive first interest rate rise. The ongoing uncertainty regarding the timing of a Federal Reserve benchmark rate hike is weighing on the value of the dollar. Investors have pared their expectations for a 2015 interest rate hike – futures markets are now pricing in only a 30% chance of a tightening of policy from the Fed this year. As of 09.20 GMT on Thursday, £/€ stands at 1.3850 and €/$ stands at 1.1118. The euro has had a poor week and while the U.S. and the U.K. argue over when to raise rates, it is the speculation surrounding eurozone policy easing that has driven the currency markets this week.

INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL MATTERS Andy, you’ve got to be joking? Latest prediction for the base rate in the UK to rise is now November 2016, according to the Bank of England's Chief Economist and Monetary Committee's Andy Haldane. He even speculated that negative interest may still be required as the case for an interest rise is still “some way from being made”. Can you imagine earning negative rates on your cash in a UK bank i.e. paying them to hold your money?

“Camellias are amongst the world's best flowering plants. They are hardy and disease resistant, most varieties have attractive, glossy green foliage, and they put on their fabulous flower display in the cooler months of the year when the rest of the garden often looks dull and bare”. Don Burke, Burke's Backyard.

CostaBlancaPeople - Edition 606 - October 27th 2015

Camellias make a fine addition to any garden and if you have a suitable place to give one a home, I can promise you will fall in love with it and cherish it for many years. Choosing the right camellia There are over 3000 varieties, cultivars and hybrids of camellia so choosing the right plant may be daunting for a newcomer. The first aspect to take into consideration is the placement of your camellia. They really do not like too much exposure to wind, but otherwise are quite easy to grow. As a general rule most camellia species will prefer a semishade position rather than full sun, the exception being C. sasanquas which are quite sun hardy. Camellias are considered relatively

slow growing and as a result all species will be quite happy in a pot or tub. Depending upon the variety, mature camellias ten years old or more can vary in size from a small shrub to a tree, so space requirements should always be considered before planting in the ground. Consider also what purpose your camellia may be serving. The most popular of the species, C. japonicas, represent the widest range in flower form, colour and size. As a result they make excellent aesthetic specimens. C. sasanquas can easily be transformed into outstanding hedges, espaliers, topiaries and groundcovers, whilst hybrids offer a strong middle-ground, resilience, and even fragrance. Lastly decide on the colour and style of flower that suits your needs. Camellias are available in different hues and shades of red, pink, white and combinations of the three called variegations. There are even some rarer

October Meeting of the Vega Baja Garden Club The October meeting of the Vega Baja Garden Club was a very busy one and was hosted by June Phillips. She reminded the meeting of the many tasks that can be undertaken now to prepare for the next year, it is a good time to prepare for and plant new shrubs and roses and to consider planting sweet peas and other flowering annual seeds to get the plants off to a good start. It is also an ideal time to plant bulbs for the spring. This was the topic of the first speaker of the afternoon. John Howes, a Club member and a lifelong grower, exhibitor and Royal Horticultural Society Judge, gave a talk about the planting and care of spring bulbs. His comprehensive advice and

www.costablancapeople.com

knowledge will be invaluable as members plant their own bulbs this year. John’s talk tied in neatly with the announcement of a new growing competition. Ron Harris, the Club’s Competition Secretary, had ordered mini daffodil bulbs, and each member was given five bulbs to plant and grow on. The winning pot of flowering bulbs will be judged next year. The next speaker was Anna Van Dijk, who gave a very inspiring talk and demonstration on the subject of making decorations from dried seed pods and foliage. She had a found a great number of very pretty dried seed heads and leaves. Very cleverly, she had

Alan’s photo of a Gerbera

used discarded items as a base, for instance, an old frying basket, and a piece of contorted hardboard she had found by the roadside! She had made lovely decorations and everyone was very impressed by Anna’s skills in seeing beauty in the combination of such ordinary things. The Photographic Competition was judged next. Members had brought in their own close up photographs of flowers. There was a very high number of entries, totalling 34 in all, and there were some spectacular images. The members chose two joint winners, Anna’s close up of an unfurling Datura blossom, and Alan Davis’ of a Gerbera. There was then the usual raffle of plants and the usual Question and Answer Time. The next meeting will be held at Bar Trasgu, Calle Alicante 12, Formentera del Segura, on Monday 2nd November at 2.15 for a 2.30 start. There will be a talk on roses by Ron Harris, and two competitions. The first will be for a vase of flowers from your own garden or terrace, and the second for an arrangement of dried seed heads and foliage. Please bring along your entries on the day. If you are interested in gardening and would like to come along to the meeting, please do so, you will be most welcome.

yellow species of camellia. Flowers vary in size from miniature to very large and there are also different flower forms or styles to choose from, including single, semi-double, anemone form, peony form, and formal double. Planting camellias Camellias are generally planted in the late fall through the early spring, although they may be set out any month of the year if properly cared for. Adequate moisture is a necessity until the roots become well established in the soil. Whether planting camellias in the garden or in pots, the procedure is much the same and relatively simple. If planting in the ground, dig a hole at least twice the size of the root ball and make sure the top of the root ball is level with the soil surface. Camellias prefer a slightly acid, well-draining soil, so fill with a good quality potting mix especially for gardenias, camellias and azaleas (can be purchased at most garden centres). Make sure that the camellia is not planted too deep as camellias are shallow rooted. Planting too deeply is a major cause of unhealthy plants. Now that the plant is in the ground a good watering in is required. This will help both the potting mix and camellia to settle. As a finishing touch, add a thick layer of mulch such as bark chippings or compost to help to preserve moisture. Maintaining your camellias In dry conditions camellias need to be watered well - especially in the late summer months when they are forming their flower buds. They will shed these if you keep them thirsty. Feeding is ideally done each spring

with camellia and azalea food when the camellia has finished flowering and new growth has started to appear. Camellias are considered very pest and disease resistant. Occasionally though, pests may become a nuisance. The pests that most commonly affect camellias are the sucking insects such as scale, aphids and mites. For easy and non-chemical prevention and control use insecticidal soap and white oil. Pruning Camellias often out-live the gardeners that planted them, and even though they are considered to be slow growing plants, they can become too large for specific areas of the garden. Pruning your camellias is not something you should be scared of, in fact it can be a very rewarding experience and doing so can yield thicker, bushier and healthier plants. C. Sasanqua varieties will happily tolerate quite thorough pruning from a young age. For other species of camellias it is recommended you hold off on pruning heavily until they reach roughly the height or shape you require, or the plant has matured. Pruning is best done at the end of winter, after the camellia has finished flowering and before new growth has begun to appear. If spring has arrived and your camellia is still flowering you may have to sacrifice some end of season blooms in preference for pruning before the new growth period begins. Camellias are available at nurseries and garden centres and there are surely no greater beauties to add to your Spanish garden. Marc Vijverberg

JĂĄvea weekly craft fairs

From 31st October onwards people can once again enjoy visiting the attractive craft market in the town of Javea every week. The market actually takes place twice weekly, Saturday mornings in the square of the Post Office (Plaza Marina Alta) in the old town and also every Sunday morning on the sea front near the harbour (at the end of the Avenida Jaime I). Most of the crafts people have been taking part in the market for the last three years and this autumn between 10 and 15 stalls will set up to sell work made by hand by the people on the stalls - all the stalls are ArtesanĂ­a de Autor, which means they sell real craftwork made by dedicated artists. Walk by the stalls, look at the work and talk to the people who spend their week working at their craft. Leather, silk, bone, wood, clay, paper, gems and metals - all are used to make

handbags, hair pins, jewellery, toys, lamps and many other delightful and original items. Some are practical, others just decorative. Visitors are able to buy original, one-off items which will never be seen in a shop. Every week the market will be a little different as some craftsmen travel to other parts of Spain for a weekend fair elsewhere. Meanwhile, others cannot make enough goods in one week to replace what they sell and so may miss a week. All participants bring their tools along, and so are able to make small alterations or accept special orders that can be made on the spot, or prepared to be picked up in one week or two weeks-time. A list of craftsmen on any given weekend will be posted on www.amata.es (in English and Spanish). At http://www.amata.es/JaveaPue

rto%2015.html you can also take a look at the type and quality of goods in the fair in the Puerto this October. The fair at the Post Office is there every Saturday from the 31st October and opens from 11am till 2pm; in the port the stalls set up from the 1st November, every Sunday from 11am and will stay open till about 3pm or 4pm. The later afternoon times allow people to stroll along the sea front before or after their Sunday lunch in one of the many restaurants in this lively part of town. For more information in English or Spanish call 639 979 678.

WELCOME TO ALGHERO with Vivalia Travel The old city's stone streets, narrow and bordered by shops, are dotted with randomly spaced and seemingly unplanned tiny piazzas (squares)

Alghero gets its name from the abundance of seaweed (alghe) in its surrounding waters. It was known as Algarium in the Middle Ages and Al Alguer and Barcelloneta under Spanish rule. Alghero 's origins date back to the X Century when the Genoese, with the help of Pisans, turned the Arabs away and obtained land grants from the Judges of Logudoro, one of the groups of judges that governed Sardinia during the Middle Ages. In 1713, when Alghero came under Austrian rule with the Treaty of Utrecht, Spain tried once again to take the city over but was obligated by the Treaty of London to yield Sardinia to the House of Savoy. Alghero was not again greatly disturbed by foreign influences until it suffered bombings during World War II. Fearing an invasion by the Allied forces, the Sardinians built bunkers in strategic locations around the city that still stand today as grim reminders of Alghero 's more troubled times. The old city is closed behind thick fortress walls, interrupted only by solemn towers. The old city's stone streets, narrow and bordered by shops, are dotted with randomly spaced and seemingly unplanned tiny piazzas (squares). The polychrome dome of the church of San Michele and the church of St. Francis' pointed Aragonese tower dominate the city. The monuments represent the gothic-Catalan style. Sightseeing begins at Porta a Terra Square, on the eastern margin of the old town that extends into the vast green area of the public gardens where

Giuseppe Manno's statue, a historian from Alghero, can be seen. The monument was made in 1894 by Pietra Canonica. San Francesco street includes the town's principal meeting place Sulis square where the view of the sea is interrupted by the impressive Espero Reial and Sulis towers. Along the seaside and at the end of Colombo Way is the recently restored San Giacomo Tower (San Jaume) next to the church of Our Lady of Carmelo from the XVI Century. The promenade Marco Polo extends past the bastion of San Giacomo, characteristic for its narrow openings from which canons were once fired. The seaside opens onto the beautiful panorama of the Algherese roads and the promontory that separates the city from the Porto Conte inlet. The small tower of Polveriera (or St. Barbara) is past the bastion, where the coast reaches the north-west end of the promontory and the old city is situated. Continuing along Magellano Way and the seaside, you will find the narrow wall passage with a series of arches that seem to close in around the city's antique dock. Continuing on, between the coastline and curved walls, you'll reach the summit in front of the doors that once opened to the sea. This is one of the historic accesses to the fortified city. Nearby there are the impressive ruins of the Maddalena Fort where Giuseppe Garibaldi disembarked the 14th of August 1855 as captain of the cargo ship

"Il Lombardo". Entering the old city, the visit starts in Piazza Civica (historically "placa de la Dressana"). Here medieval arches lean against the walls of Count Serra di Sant'Elia's Palace, the House of Savoy's Master of Ceremonies and the deconsecrated church of Rosario from the XVII Century. We cross the Duomo's small square, where we can see the front of the cathedral, dedicated to St. Mary, with a richly decorated apse and octagonal bell-tower inspired by the best examples of the late CatalanGothic period and constructed between 1562 and 1579. At Principe Umberto street n.11, you will find the interesting "casa Doria" from the XVI Century with its renaissance-styled facade and gothic windows. Just beyond it is Curia Palace, the headquarters of the Episcopal archives unified with the capitulary ones of the St. Mary church. At the end of the street is the Mercy Church. Another important church is dedicated to St. Michael and is near Ginnasio Square. Past the Carlo Alberto street intersection, you will come across one of the most interesting buildings of Catalan culture in Sardinia. The church complex, convent and St. Francis' cloister, was constructed in the first part of the 1300's and partially reconstructed at the end of the 1500's following its collapse in 1593, and finally restored in the XVIII Century. It was founded by the St. Francis convent monks who settled in Alghero prior to 1330 and who are still present today.

OF TRAINING DOGS AND CHILDREN… In my book, ‘If Ever a Man Suffered’, (which incidentally is still selling away … plug …plug!) I related this episode to do with the type of training that our collie dog received from my father. One day a few heifers broke into the cabbage garden, igniting an awful fit of temper in Daddy. Rover, the young dog was mad for action when called upon to deal with this emergency. However, the frenzied instructions from the over-anxious master to the over-anxious-to-please madra were anything but clear-cut and left the entire wire fencing trailing in sections all the way down to the river Deel. “Here Rover … come on …good dog … go on Rover … put them out … scud-on … good dog … give it to them Rover … go on …. No …no .. back behind, come back, come back … back behind … lie down … lie down, ya brown hoor …. Lie down …lie down Rover: … Get into the yard ya f####n eegit of a dog.” (With stone now thrown in dog’s direction!) No wonder that Rover went around with a bewildered expression on his handsome face.

It wasn’t only Rover that was in receipt of very confusing directives from both my parents in those days. There were six sons along with Rover and how we ever managed to make any sense of some of the orders is one of the great mysteries of our time. ‘When you fall out of that tree and break your neck or a leg, don’t come running in here complaining you weren’t warned.’ I never thought much about that one – knowing that I was really far too smart to fall out of a tree. My father’s simple logic to us was

short and to the point: ‘Because I said so!’ I suppose it was easy to understand when the alternative was ‘to be left n the middle of next week with a belt!’ Another bit of parental logic was, ‘stop that whinging or I’ll give you something worth whinging about!’ ‘The last of your bread is baked’, was another great favourite around our house and I did wonder how would the baker know when to turn off the oven. ‘If the hungry children in Africa had that they’d be glad to eat it’, scolded my mother. At the time, I wondered

how could she know that and I couldn’t believe that anybody might want to eat whatever I was being force-fed. Anyway, I was by now destined to be ‘nothing but a puny little runt.’ I know … I should have eaten it! ‘You’ll end up blind as a bat from reading in the dark’ and ‘eating sugar from that bowl will fill you full of worms’, didn’t cull either habit. A rather severe warning from one parent was, ‘you will turn into your Uncle Dinny’. Whatever that threat implied was left in abeyance. Anyway, my Great-Uncle Dinny was dead and I figured to turn out like him would mean I had to be buried. ‘If you are not home in this house by six o’clock, you won’t know what hit you as soon as you cross that door’. The early curfew was generally met though cut fine; so I never got to see what I wouldn’t see! Sometimes if you asked an awkward question, the only satisfaction advanced was, ‘wait til you get to my age and you’ll know all about it.’ From about this time onwards every year, the great ready-made threat hung over us like a black cloud.

Several times a day the warning was issued; ‘Santy won’t be coming to you.’ Or ‘Santy’s bird is looking in the window.’ How-and-ever Santa always forgave and stopped off at our house on Christmas Eve … but how do I know now how much more I might have got if I were good? ‘Wait until your father gets home’, was usually a bark worse than a bite and the crisis would usually have receded prior to the great man’s arrival. One threat I treated with a bit more seriousness was, ‘I’ll be talking to Master Lawlor next week and I must remember to tell him about that.’ The mystery is that Rover and myself got through all of this unscathed … well sort of!

A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than you love yourself.

Cancer drug developed in Spain Granada University has developed a drug which is effective against cancer. It reduces tumour activity to a large extent in non-invasive way for breast, colon and melanoma cancers. A team of researchers at Granada University have patented a drug which is effective against several cancers and which reduces tumour activity by 50 percent after 41 days of treatment. It also stands out for its low levels of toxicity and the ease of it being produced on an industrial scale. The new drug, which is in the pre-clinic phase, and which has been patented by Granada University is efficient against mother cancerous cells in breast, colon and melanoma tumours and is the result of more than 22 years of research by a multidisciplined team. The 50 percent effectiveness after 41 days treatment has only been tested on mice, and it attacks the mother cells to avoid the formation of metastasis. The main researchers are the professors Joaquin Campos Rosa and Juan Antonio Marchal Corrales, and given its low toxicity so far it has not produced any side effects, and its industrial development is simple.

The two research groups how have managed to obtain a patent, started their work in 1993, and have proved the effectiveness of the drug in the pre-clinic phase, using immunecompromised mice and placing human tumour cells inside the rodent. The pre-clinical trials were developed by giving the mice 150 milligrams for each kilo of weight. Professor Campos Rosa had detailed in the presentation of the patent, that during their many years of work, the team reduced a variable consisting of 500,000 molecules to create the drug, which will now progress to the clinical phase. This will be followed by a period of about five years in line with the protocols and permissions of the European Safety Agency and then testing firstly on volunteers and then cancer patients can take place. His colleague, Marchal Corrales, has underlined the importance of combating the cancerous mother cells, cells which don’t proliferate and often lay dormant, but occasionally the tumour regenerates and generates metastasis.

Improvements The antecedent patent was the drug Bozepinib, registered by the

same research teams, which gave equally efficient results but required a great deal of time to develop only a small quantity of the drug, and so they had embarked on ‘molecular architecture’ to develop the improved drug. The current patent has low toxicity, is easy to synthesise and therefore is ideal for industrial development. Consequently it will be cheap to manufacture after the costs of research and development have been covered; estimated to be 800 million euros. This discovery is supported by a three-year finance plan of 124,900 euros of public funds, another 20,000 private funds, and the support of the Córdoba business Canvax Biotech. However, the research does not stop here, as there are greater challenges from more dangerous and powerful cancers such as lung and pancreas. The studies will determine the absorption of the drug, its distribution through the body, its effect on metabolism, excretion and toxicity, before the clinical phase. The Rector of Granada University, Pilar Aranda, praised the researchers for their solitary and constant work, which has proved so important in the fight against cancer.

TV Pick Professor Green: Suicide and Me – BBC3 10.00 pm UK rapper Professor Green, aka Stephen Manderson, takes an intensely personal journey to uncover the truth behind the suicide of his father seven years ago. His platinum hit Read All About It and songs such as Goodnight have given fans a glimpse into this tragic story. Now for the first time Stephen discovers what really happened to his dad. Opening up to close family for the first time about his estrangement from his father, reconnecting with old relatives, meeting others affected by suicide and laying bare his own demons, Stephen faces tough answers. Through this journey, Stephen explores the wider scourge of male suicide in the UK. As the biggest single killer of men under 45, latest figures show suicide accounts for nearly 5,000 male deaths a year in the UK. By understanding the complex factors behind it, the stigma around it and some of the ways it is being tackled, Stephen highlights the urgency of addressing this most pressing of problems.

Class of 92: Out of their League – BBC1 – 10-00pm Two-part documentary. The ex-Manchester United stars known as the Class of '92 buy a football club seven tiers down from the Premier League with a dream of taking it up to the top. Ryan Giggs, Phil and Gary Neville, Paul Scholes and Nicky Butt spend their first season in charge of Salford City F.C, a club run by volunteers with an average gate of 80. In this first episode, reality sinks in. The Class of '92 are shocked to learn that their two managers have holidays during important pre-season matches, the stadium is falling apart, the toilets are a health hazard and their team of part-timers are sometimes late for training. The first four months are a baptism of fire. The Class of '92 need to save their season, and Scholes and Phil Neville start to coach. But can the team find their winning form again and get the promotion dream back on track?

Dear Editor Benidorm 14th October saw the launch of the 2015 Poppy appeal, a well attended parade saw Torrevieja Pipes & Drums with Pipe Major Lilian Nicholson lead the procession along the Calle Mediterrano and down on to the promenade along to the Rinton where speeches by the President of the Royal British Legion and the Mayor of Benidorm were well received. It was pointed out that due to ongoing troubles in Europe it was more essential than ever to dig deep this year and support this worthy cause. The dignatories, guests and pipe band were then invited back to the Hotel Nero for lunch. Regards Davie Dear Editor I feel it is extremely important that your readers are aware that if you need to pay a bill via the BBVA bank you must not use any other card than a BBVA ONE!! I needed to pay a phone bill for a blind friend who's phone had been cut off due to an oversight. I was told that the quickest way would be to pay via tge BBVA machine. The machine told me to enter my card which I did - it then just swallowed it!! Staff informed me that they couldnt help me and that I just had to get a new card from my bank!!!! A member of staff then tried to help me pay with cash via the machine and I hen told me that the machine couldnt take cash either at that time so I should go to another BBVA bank!! By this time I was beside myself as my friend urgently needed her phone working because her husband had just come out of hospital. Thank goodness my Sabadell bank helped me to sort it out. Surely it is illegal for the bank to keep my card - surely they could have a sign saying " this machine only accepts BBVA cards" I am sure that other banks just reject unacceptable cards!! Pamela leaman Dear residents of San Fulgencio and members of the PIPN. It is with a heavy heart that I wish to announce my resignation as Councillor from the PIPN. My reasons for resigning are very personal. I have given 5 years of my life to help the community with their lives in Spain. This has taken its toll on my family and recreational life as well as my health and that of my wife. Although I do not regret one moment of it. Five years ago I was persuaded by many residents of San Fulgencio to go into local politics and as a result I formed the PIPN with a view to representing the people of San Fulgencio and the Urbanisations. In the first elections in which we stood, we gained one councillor and, as the PP lacked a councillor in San Fulgencio to gain a majority, we signed a government pact that has not has been respected by the PP. They have underestimated us, looked down upon us, lied and we were even threatened that they would close our Office for the Urbanisations. We have had to endure very uncomfortable situations but decided to continue the term of office because I am a man of my word and I wanted to continue helping everyone who needed that help. Over these years we have worked incredibly hard to help and support people of all nationalities throughout the municipality and through the response we have received, I truly believe we have achieved our aims and succeeded wherever possible. San Fulgencio needs a strong opposition party to challenge the decisions of the current Government team. I believe that with my resignation, the PIPN, with our spokesperson in the

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Townhall, Samantha Hull, who is also the only British female councillor in Spain, with Charo Mejías Dios, who will now become councillor, and with the team we have behind the scenes, we will have a strong opposition team within San Fulgencio Townhall. I will continue as President of this Party and as such I hope you will join me in supporting these ladies in all their future endeavours. I wish to thank everyone for their good wishes and kind words. Jeff Wiszniewski. Dear Editor AWESOME is a much-maligned word freely thrown about nowadays by youngsters. But it is a word that describes Matilde Sanchez and her work as president and co-founder of the local Alzheimer’s Association that reaches out to patients and families in the Vega Baja area. Since 2004 she has been indefatigable in building up the association, organising volunteers and professionals alike, thinking up new projects, urging others to become involved, raising funds – or rather chasing up funding. Her inspiration has always been the period in her life watching her husband fade away as another Alzheimer’s victim. She understands the anguish of families who grapple with the difficulties of caring for a patient, with its many frustrations and dismay watching a loved personality dissolve. Matilde is reluctantly stepping down now as president of the AFA, because the job and workload requires someone with a bit more energy that she has at her age in life when so many others are happy to sit at home knitting. She is well known by almost everyone, being stopped by people in the street for a quick word, chasing municipal officials for the use of buildings for some sort of fund raising event. She is on first name terms with mayors and peons working in town hall premises. Being bi-lingual Matilde has been a bridge between the Spanish and the expatriates of various nations, but especially the British. Rather like the Scarlet Pimpernel she has been here, there and everywhere accepting donations for AFA whether it be from an association, a concert or show, an art exhibition or individuals who want to be part of a very important venture in Torrevieja area. She is frequently badgering others with ideas for fundraising events. All this requires a great deal of energy, which Matilde generates inspiring others, but it has been taking its toll on her recently. The British community has been a mainstay in supporting many charitable organisations in Spain and Alzheimer’s Family Association is one that needs to be continually supported. Matilde has pushed for a Day Centre, a charity shop and another project a 24-hour residence still at planning stage. Her experience over many years in the textile “rag” industry has meant she has been meticulous in the selection of clothing for sale at the shop with a high standard not found elsewhere. Clothing rejected has still been used as it has been passed on to other charity shops. I hope that this wonderful AFA support will continue among the British and welcome Puri Garcia who is now president of the association. Another lovely lady, who has been associated for several years with AFA, as a vocal on the governing body. She speaks and understand some English but will be helped by Juande whose contact number is 636 410 708 Through your pages I would like to pay honour to this AWESOME lady and wish her a bit of relaxation and quality time in this new phase of her life. Thank you Matilde, it has been a pleasure

being associated with you. Andy Ormiston

Hi! I just wanted to ask whether you know what is happening i Urb. La Marina, San Fulgencio? When we moved in here, about 12 years ago, we put up some aluminium structures and glazing (is it the right word?) on our quadros. Almost all of us, living here permanently did this. We had People visiting the Town Hall to ask for permission, but they were told that as long this is aluminium and glass, it was considered Intermediate, and we needed no permission. Now, I think it was last year, the Town Hall came up with a new ruling: You have to dismount the structures put up before you get permission to sell Your property! (And, of course: If the new owners want to have similar, they have to buy their own!) I haven’t found out whether there’s a legal fee as well, but earlier movers got a fine, I know. Legally this is a bit on the shady side, isn’t it? Legislation (or what is it?) taking things that happened 10 years before does not taste good. Sincerely, Rolf Solheim Urb. La Marina Rolf – we asked our legal expert at Spanish Solutions and this is the information he came back with: This is not an easy question. I would need more details for a comprehensive answer. However, I can tell you the following. 1) Any change on a property requires an authorization from the Town Hall. If one owner wants to modify the house (even it is a small change) you need to file a petition to the Town Hall 2) After 4 years, the Town Hall cannot demolish any illegal extension, but it doesn´t mean the extension is automatically legal. It will be left in a grey area, which I call unlegal (it is not ilegal but it is not legal).

As I said, it is a complicated matter so I can not inform you properly unless I have more information. Regards, Pedro Molina López- Solicitor/Abogado

On behalf of Matilde Sanchez I would be grateful if the following letter from her could be printed in as many English-speaking newspapers as possible. Dear Editor, I am sure that most of your readers know that I have resigned from the position of President of the Alzheimer’s Family Association of Torrevieja, AFA. I have been in this privileged position for eleven years now and it is time to pass the reins on to someone younger, and with more energy than I have at my age. I became president as a founder member of AFA as I saw a desperate need for an association that would support, not only patients of Alzheimer’s, but their families as well. I had the experience of nursing my own husband and this experience made a real impression on me driving me on to spend my time and forces to making AFA a strong association with a day centre as an important part of that. My work has been helped because I am able to speak Spanish and English fluently and this has brought me in contact with so many wonderful people and associations of different nationalities as well as civic leaders and members of the press. It is thanks to so many individuals and groups, far too many to mention, that the work of Alzheimer’s has grown and prospered. I cannot say how much the financial and moral support of so many, especially the British, has encouraged me to give of my best. Since AFA began in 2004 that friendly support has been a terrific incentive to me, and importantly to those who work directly with the patients and their families. A special word of thanks must go to the marvellous volunteers, who over the years have manned the shop, organised and modelled in

39

fashion parades, attended benefit shows and other fund raising events on behalf of AFA. So much fun we have had. My heart goes out to all our wonderful entertainers who also give of their time and talents so freely musically and dramatically. These have not only benefited AFA, but the culture and integration of expats in Spanish life. So many amazing people have contributed to the work of the AFA centre. On occasions I have been humbled to receive awards, that though directed at me, I know are for all those who have acted in professional or voluntary capacities. Among those awards have been the Diego Ramirez Premio, the highest accolade of Torrevieja, and twice the Pride of Spain Awards organised by the Coastrider. As president it has been my honour and privilege to act on many occasions receiving donations, small and large amounts from so many of you. My place as President is being taken over by Puri Garcia Alvarez who will make herself available as much as I have been able to do. I hope and pray that all of you generous people will continue to support our local Alzheimer’s Association that works for patients from several towns around Torrevieja. Always volunteers and donations will be required and I urge all of your readers to continue to support our work, because it is a work that is imperative to everyone in the area. Life is about helping others in whatever way we can and those suffering from Alzheimer’s need help in every way possible. Please continue your magnificent efforts and feel free to contact Puri, the new President or Juande and please note his contact number 636 410 708 who speaks English fluently and will be glad to hear from all of you. My personal thanks to this newspaper and staff for their continuous cooperation in our work publicising what we do and every donation received. Thank you, you are all wonderful people. Matilde Sanchez Thank you, Mike Bissett

PSOE announces draft general election manifesto ‘What we have included we will comply with. We won’t include anything we cannot comply with’, said PSOE Secretary for Programs and Studies, Meritxell Batet, at a press conference held in Madrid recently. Although this is only a draft, it has been approved by the PSOE Federal Executive and over the next few weeks amendments and suggestions from party militants and citizens will be considered. MeritxellBatet made it clear that it is ‘an authentic project for the country and for Government’, and with ‘long reach’ measures which will go beyond a single legislature and will drink from ‘classic social democracy’ but adapted to the new times. She explained the draft was divided into several blocks and ‘four large challenges’, ‘the fight against inequality’ as the main axis, to improve coexistence between citizens and territories, ‘return confidence to the institutions’ and ‘to offer opportunities, above all to those who have lost all hope’. Although the final details are

yet to be announced, the hundreds of concrete measures are based from Constitutional reform, which will be developed in a separate document, and a profound fiscal reform, which intends to radically reform the policies of income and which was presented on Thursday. The reform of the Constitution ‘represents the renovation of a new pact of coexistence which has to be in consensus with all the political forces, with a consensus no less than seen in 1978’. Beyond changing the State federal model, the socialists want to reform the Magna Carta to include more rights, such as housing, health and education. ‘These are rights which must be armour-clad and the best way to do that is bring them under the Constitution’, affirmed secretary of Political Action, PatxiLópez. PatxiLópez continued ‘we are going to search for a grand pact on education, to avoid a change every four years’. Another measure linked to education is ‘grants must be a citizen’s right’. ‘All those who have the wish to

study and have the capacity to so, should never be blocked by any economic question’. In addition radio station Cadena Serbroadcast other key measures from the draft such as making education obligatory until the age of 18, not 16 at present. Among the social policies is the commitment to elaborate a ‘law for palliative care and dignity in death’ (not using the word euthanasia) and the reactivation of the Dependency Law and to make health a universal service. As far as economic policy is concerned, the introduction of a ‘life minimum income’ to attack extreme poverty and a new ‘Statute for Workers’ the overthrowing of the PP labour reforms, and any other legislation which has resulted in an assault on basic rights. Regarding electioneering, a PSOE political conference has been called for the 14 and 15 of November in Madrid, so all the militants and citizens can participate with their ideas and suggestions.

Carlos Slim solves unemployment problem The world's second-richest man after Bill Gates has announced that he has the recipe for combating unemployment during a conference at Alicante University recently. Mexican tycoon Carlos Slim says that working a three-day week, up to 11 hours a day and retiring at 75 is the solution to getting everyone into jobs. His views were aired in the Paraninfo complex at the 22nd Plenary Meeting of the Montevideo Circle, a forum which he is business chairman of. Slim says widespread

unemployment is a ‘new-world problem’, and especially among the young, but could be reduced by ‘working 32 or 33 hours a week over three days’. “More hours per day over fewer days a week would leave gaps for more people to get jobs,” considers the property magnate. “The four days off per week would give workers quality of life and allow those who want to do so to take a second job, whilst those who do not wish to will have free time to create more activities and consume more.” Even though the official

working week in many countries, including Spain, is 40 hours, most people are only productive for about 30 or 35 of those, says Slim – they need, and take, regular short rests from their work and sit down for coffee breaks. The multi-billionaire also believes workers should retire at 75. “Workers' knowledge and experience becomes stronger and more valuable after age 60, yet that is when most are thinking about retirement – and this creative period should be prolonged,” Slim concluded.

Spaniards spend half their income on housing Is half of what you earn a small price to pay for the ability to live in Spain? According to a new survey the majority of Spaniards spend 50 percent of their income on their place in the sun. This survey, undertaken by real estate network RE/MAX Europe shows Spaniards spend half their pay on housing costs, including rent, mortgages and running costs. Their spend is much higher than the European average of 40 percent of their income and one

in five Europeans spends just a pocket-friendly 20 percent on housing. Almost 60 percent of those surveyed believe that Spain is an expensive place to live, and 26 percent claimed renting is becoming more expensive. “Foreign buyers disagree with the statement that Spain is an expensive place to live, seeing the benefit of comparatively low property prices, and lower costs of alcohol, tobacco and food,” said RE/MAX. “This gives foreign

buyers a lower overall cost of living and a positive impression of the country.” While 61 percent of Europeans are homeowners, in Spain 80 percent of couples with children live in rented properties. In Spain, 17.6 percent of adults live with their parents, and the figure is almost 55 percent for those aged 20-29. Just 7 percent of Spaniards live on their own, significantly lower than the European average of 15 percent.

David from Montesinos asks: Dear Aunty, last month we had a series of power cuts which led to having a new hard disk drive fitted and a subsequent upgrade to Windows 10. Everything seems fine except I can’t access my external USB hard disk which I have always used to backup my stuff. Windows sees the drive when I connect to it but shows it as blank even though it shows 15GB of space is used. Do you think there is a way to retrieve all of my photos and documents as I am beginning to panic that I have lost the lot? Aunty Says: Hi David. This can happen if you have used a third party app to backup your data as you will often need the same app to retrieve it.

Do you recall the procedure you went through when you ran the backup/restore? Was it one of the free backup apps? A lot of USB external disks come with their own programs for performing backups and some of the more expensive ones have a “One Touch” button to initiate the backup process. See if you can recall any program names/icons and the steps you went through to start the backup, also if you could email me the make/model of your USB disk drive and we can see what we can do. Donald via email asks: I have recently upgraded my new laptop to Windows10 and before that I used an older machine on Windows XP. With XP I could restore my computer to a time before a problem occurred by using System Restore. Can I do this in Windows10 and, if so, how? Aunty Says: Hi Donald. You certainly can but it’s a little more difficult to find than in previous versions of Windows, but thankfully it is still there. I think the easiest way to find it is by holding down the Win key (looks like a flag) and press X and chose “System” from the list. From the window that pops up choose “System Protection” and click on the “System Restore” button.

Frank via email asks: I am currently using windows 7 and am running Quark Express6.1 and Coreldraw12 in XP mode. Is this facility available with windows 10? Your advice would be much appreciated. Aunty Says: The “Compatibility Mode” function is still in Windows10 Frank, and it’s there so that we can install and run a lot of old “legacy” XP programs/apps by tricking the app into thinking it is running on an XP machine. As with previous versions of Windows there are two stages to configuring this. The first stage is when you initially install the program, and the second is to instruct the app how to run. Stage 1; right click on the Quark setup file and choose “properties” and click on the “Compatibility” tab where you can tick the necessary boxes. Stage 2: once Quark has installed you need to then right click and do the same with the new Quark icon which will permanently instruct the app to run as if it is on XP. Well that’s all for another week, email me your questions to auntyvirus@costablancapeople.com

The right to forget Spent and served convictions should be axed from search engines but remain in digital news archives, according to a ruling by the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court judge has ruled that online newspapers and news sites do not have to scrub details of convicted criminals from their archives under the new search engine 'Right to be Forgotten' law. Spent or served convictions should be removed, upon request, from the likes of Google and Bing, said Spain's highest contentious court, and newspapers reporting on these have a duty to take steps to ensure this is the case. But they do not have to remove stories from their digital archives, meaning readers can still search for a person or crime on news websites and be able to find information the accused party had ordered Google to ‘forget’. The Supreme Court recalled that the ‘Right to be Forgotten’ law ‘is not there so people can reinvent themselves’ nor to ‘impede the diffusion of information about facts and incidences not considered positive’. According to the verdict, the law should weigh up the

‘potential offensive’ that information published in the public interest may have when linked to the personal identity of the ‘affected party’. Two individuals who had been convicted of drug-dealing and consumption in the 1980s and who had since rebuilt their family, professional and personal lives saw that details of

their past came up as links to stories in an undisclosed national newspaper when they googled their names. This could be a problem for them if they applied for a job and the potential employer carried out an internet search on them. But the newspaper refused to remove the story from its digital archive as requested by the two plaintiffs. The court believes that where details of a ‘person of public relevance’ or ‘information of historical interest’ are involved, personal data does not have to be removed under the ‘forgetting’ rule. But the judge stressed that these links to a person that affected their reputation

‘gradually become irrelevant as time passes’. The judge's verdict read: “Even where the information can be considered correct, as time passes it becomes unnecessary for its original purpose of public interest, and seriously distorts the perception other people have of the affected person, creating stigma and preventing his or her full integration into society. “But the so-called Right to be Forgotten does not exist so that each and every person can reinvent themselves and their past, preventing the diffusion of information about facts an incidences not considered positive, nor does it justify those who expose themselves publicly being able to reconstruct their CV as they wish.” Removing stories from website archives is ‘an excessive restriction of the public's freedom of access to information’, but held that upon request, site administrators should use ‘technological methods’ – codes such as robots.txt or instructions noindex – to ensure that the story did not come up in an internet search engine.

Spanish surge in jihadist recruitment of young women Interior Minister Jorge Fernández Díaz has warned about a surge in the number of young women who are being recruited in Spain to join the terrorist group Islamic State (ISIS). He also noted that Spain is where the first all-female recruitment network was detected and broken up, in July of this year. Last Monday night, a 22-year-old Spanish woman was arrested at Madrid’s Adolfo Suárez-Barajas Airport on suspicion that she was planning to fly to Turkey to join ISIS. Spanish intelligence services have been detecting significant recruitment activity in Spain in recent years, especially in the northern African exclave cities of Ceuta and Melilla. While men are recruited for combat, women are enlisted for logistical work, chiefly to cook and bear children. The arrest came on the same day that Fernández Díaz arrived in New York to join Foreign Minister José Manuel García Margallo in chairing a meeting of the United Nations Security Council, which Spain is presiding during October. “So far during the present term [the Popular Party won elections in November 2011], Spain has arrested 157 individuals and

detected recent attempts to recruit large numbers of young women,” said the Spanish interior minister before visiting the 9/11 Memorial Museum at the World Trade Center. “Earlier, 80 percent of recruiting was detected in prison environments, but now it’s happening on social media,” he noted. Spain, he added, is now seeking to promote “a counter-narrative” that will contain the seductive message being put out by terrorist organisations. The minister travelled to New York with three victims of terrorism who were scheduled to speak at a Wednesday debate at the United Nations. María del Mar Blanco, president of the Victims of Terrorism Foundation, is the sister of Popular Party councillor Miguel Angel Blanco, who was kidnapped and executed by Basque terrorist group ETA in July 1997. Jana Gallardo was wounded and lost her partner in the Islamist attacks against Madrid commuter trains on March 11, 2004, and Tomás Fraga was a victim of the Egypt attacks of 2005. Fernández Díaz said he hoped to achieve “a turning point” in the

kind of international attention given to victims of terrorism, and said that Spain was a world reference on this matter because of its legislation “that is especially good in its protection of victims” after suffering decades of terrorism. During its one-month presidency of the Security Council, Spain will try to push forward an international declaration of victim protection that would extend the Spanish model of support to other countries. María del Mar Blanco said that it was important to keep alive the stories of those who suffered. “The terrorists want people to forget and for victims to remain anonymous,” she said ahead of her speech at the Security Council.

Are you allergic to your house? According to Allergy UK, 12 million of us are sneezing, and wheezing our way through indoor allergies. So how can you tell if it’s seasonal hay fever, dust mites hiding under your bed or just a plain old cold? Costa Blanca People takes a look the warning signs and how to make your indoor sanctuary a snifflefree zone from to pets….

The culprits Professor of Allergy and Respiratory Medicine, Peter Howarth, says: “There is a lot of noise about how outdoor air pollution affects your health, but we should look closer to home as this is where we spend most of our time. Indoor air can be more hazardous than

exposure so make sure you wash bedding regularly. This needs to be at 60 degrees centigrade or above to kill mites. Also, buy allergen-proof bed covers. Though they’re a drag, household chores are more important than ever to do regularly if you’re a home fever

outdoor air, particularly for young children and the elderly.” If you’re not easily squeamish, read on… dust mites are the biggest offenders, because they survive well in warm, damp conditions that can be found in all UK homes. Beds are an ideal home for them as they feed on the skin cells we shed, and enjoy the warmth from our bodies and water from our perspiration and breath. Do you ever see condensation buildup on your windows? Professor Howarth says: “Mould can be more prominent during winter due to airtight buildings causing an increase in condensation. Moulds release allergens, irritants and toxic substances that have been linked to immune system disorders such as asthma and allergies.” Other potential contributors to our ‘home fever’ can include a mixture of things, such as fireplaces, pets, air fresheners, furniture, cleaning products and detergents.

sufferer. Hoover the mattress and all soft furnishing and floors often. Use a high-filtration vacuum cleaner with filters capable of retaining a high proportion of the smallest particles, like HEPA filter, S-class filter or similar. Damp-wipe or dust all surfaces each week. Some experts recommend taking hoovering a step further: there are measures you can take, such as wearing

Home fever We’ve all heard of hay fever, but perhaps not ‘home fever’. So what is it and how do you know if you have it? Medical experts say that allergies - or 'home fever', which is the term given when they appear out of hay fever season - are very common, with one in four people in the UK suffering from one at some point in their life. So what actually happens to make you feel so rubbish? An allergic reaction is caused when the body’s immune system responds to an allergen as it would a threat, such as an infection. When you encounter the same allergen again and again, your body produces more antibodies to fight back and this

causes an allergic reaction. Cue those pesky sneezing fits and streaming eyes. Airborne allergens experts believe that the symptoms of indoor allergies caused by dust can be very similar to cold-like symptoms, such as a runny nose, sneezing, coughing and sinus pain. In fact, many people think they have caught a cold, when actually they have an allergy. So they either treat the wrong thing, or don’t bother at all. While there is a lot of symptom overlap between colds and allergies, some telltale signs you’ve probably just caught a bug include fever, yellow nasal discharge, aches, pains, and a sore throat – symptoms that generally clear up within a week to ten days.

From dust to dogs However, it’s not just dust that causes allergies; our beloved pet pooches could well be responsible. For those

with allergies the risk of constant misery could well be standing in the way of getting a much-wanted pet. If you are longing to raise a puppy but can't do dealing with the constant runny nose, wheezing and itchy eyes all may not be lost. An estimated 8 percent of adults in the UK are sensitised to dog allergens. Our four-legged friends secrete several allergens that trigger reactions in sensitised people, the most troublesome of which are the Can F 1 and Can F 2 proteins. These protein allergens are found in saliva and dander, the dry skin cells the dog discards. Contrary to popular belief, the hair itself is not an allergen, however dander sticks to doggy fur, so the hairier the dog, the more likely it may be to shed and litter your home with allergens. Allergens are also released into the environment when the pooch drools or licks something. Thankfully, all is not lost. Your dream of adopting a cute puppy could be more realistic than you think. While no dog is 100 percent hypoallergenic, you will be pleased to learn that some canines are far less likely to trigger reactions than others. To help you narrow it down and find that perfect canine companion, we have picked the best and worst breeds for allergy sufferers. Among the worst offenders are: St Bernards, Mastiffs, Bull dogs, German Sheppards and Blood hounds. Mainly because of the fur type of saliva they produce. However, the best breeds to choose are the standard poodle, schnauzer, hairless Chinese crested, Bichon Frise and the Spanish water dog.

Donation makes children’s home snap happy! Earlier this month the Elche Children's Care Home had a visit from three members of Rods & Reels and Abbey Angling Club. Tony Price, James Rouse and Steve Budd to hand over their latest donation a Cannon One Shot Camera. This will be used to take photos of the children at different events and when the children leave the home these photos will be their memories of happy times spent there. Also in July this year, the club donated over €500 of toiletries . These wonderful people have supported The Elche Children over the last five years bringing many gifts and other necessities for the children. A spokesperson for the care home told the Costa Blanca People, “A big thank you to all of them for the kindness and love they have shown.”

a mask while vacuuming carpets, replacing pillows every year, and getting a new mattress at least once every ten years. Hanging washing over a warm radiator may be the quickest way to dry your favourite shirt, but it can have serious consequences. Avoid drying clothes inside over a radiator as this increases the humidity in your home and can result in mould, which releases tiny spores into the air that you breathe. Keep the humidity in your house between 40 and 20 per cent to control allergens. Professor Howarth says: “I advise my patients to prioritise good household ventilation – assess the systems your home has in place and update them if they are faulty or out of date.” “I would also like to see a ‘Healthy Home Mark’ on new homes to confirm that they have mechanical ventilation systems with effective heat exchange installed – to help reduce the health risks for future generations.” And of course certain medications, such as antihistamines, can help to reduce troublesome, short-lived symptoms. Making these simple changes to your home cannot only help pinpoint the root of the problem, but also help keep your air as clean as possible for fewer sneezes all year round.

WHAT ARE ORBS?

Most of you who are reading this article will have heard of Orbs. Some of you may have even caught a few on camera. However, very often, what looks like an orb on a camera (especially a mobile phone camera) are in fact, dust particles. Having a decent camera is the key to catching an orb on film as there is less likelihood of distortion of the picture once it has been developed. Very often, it's only when you download your film onto your PC that you will see Orbs which are very difficult, but not impossible, to see with the naked eye. One of the most incredible things I have seen is when I have taken photographs of people, and there is an Orb beside them or overhead with an unmistakable face in the middle of it! I have also seen video footage of someone who had a lot of spirit activity in their home. I was intrigued to visibly see 'flying' Orbs shooting upwards, and all around them. They are certainly a fascinating phenomenon and are something I have been interested in for years. But what defines an Orb? They are a solid or transparent ‘ball’ of energy or light caught on video, film, or more recently, by digital camera. Orbs are easy to see when photographs are developed by digital cameras and have been scientifically proven to often be caused by dust particles, and malfunctioning camera diodes. However, Orbs are believed by many people to be life forms of those that once inhabited a physical body here on earth. Ghostly orbs are the most photographed anomalies caught on film, especially by ghost hunters. They can be completely transparent or

display themselves in colour. It is said that a culmination of orbs that appear on photographs taken outside on a wet night are most certainly going to be caused by moisture in the air from rain drops. But what about those that appear over the same people’s heads at differing times of their life, and in different venues? It also leaves a question mark over why orbs often appear in photographs of mediums when they are ‘open’ to the spirit world and are also around the hands of healers when they are carrying out Reiki Treatments or Angel Healing. An example of reoccurring orbs

around the same person is when I take photographs of one of my small granddaughters. As soon as she could sit up and we started taking photographs of her propped up in bed for example, there was always an orb over her head. I remember a few years ago when John and I took her to the Police children’s Christmas party. There were lots of children there having fun and running around. When Father Christmas came in they waited patiently for him to call their name.

When he called Olivia’s name, she went up to him to collect her present so I saw an opportunity, and took a photograph of her. Although there were lots of other children around her, there it was again, just the one orb, over her head. It's definitely someone protecting her and I feel, her Spirit Guide. Everywhere she goes, the orb goes and the fact that we have confirmation of this in the photographs, it has been no surprise to me since that time when she now talks about family members who are now in Spirit. She talks about them in such a matter of fact way that I just love to listen and nod in recognition! I wonder who she takes after?! There are other theories concerning Orbs. On looking through differing sites whilst doing my research, some people believe that orbs could be nature spirits or airborne protoplasm which you would find under a microscope, only far, far, more advanced. When I was Co-Host on the TV show Rescue Mediums, there were more photographs than I could count which were taken of us in the homes of the people who had rung the show to ask for help from our Producer. These people were at their wits’ end with the unexplained activity that was going on in their home so it was no surprise that the majority of the ‘orb’ photographs appeared in what were deemed to be the most haunted rooms in the house. After we carried out our investigation and sent the Spirit(s) to the light, our Head of Research would take another photograph of us but this time there were no orbs to be seen. Do you believe in Orbs?

Clinical trial to test if aspirin can prevent return of cancer The world's largest clinical trial to examine whether aspirin can prevent cancers returning has begun in the UK. Around 11,000 people who have had early bowel, breast, prostate, stomach and oesophageal cancer will be involved in the trial. If it is proven to work, scientists say it would be "game-changing", by providing a cheap and effective way to help more patients survive. During the study, funded by the charity Cancer Research UK and the NIHR - the research arm of the NHS - patients will take a tablet every day for five years. Researchers will compare groups of patients taking different doses of aspirin with people taking dummy (placebo) pills and check for any recurrences of cancer. Dr Fiona Reddington from Cancer Research UK said: "The trial is especially exciting as cancers that recur are often harder to treat so finding a cheap and effective way to prevent this is potentially game-changing for patients." The trial will run across 100 UK centres, involving patients who are having or have had treatment for early cancer, and will last up to 12 years. However, scientists were keen to warn that aspirin is not suitable for everyone and should not be used without medical advice. Taking the drug every day comes with a serious health warning as it can cause side effects such as ulcers and bleeding from the stomach, or even the brain.

Flu jab campaign kicks off The annual winter flu jab campaigns have started all over Spain and anyone considered 'at risk' is urged to come forward and make an appointment. Health experts say having the vaccination can cut winter hospital admissions by 45 percent, since influenza can create 'major health risks' in chronically-ill patients. However, contrary to popular myth, it does not protect against the common cold, only

against the flu virus. Experts say this year's flu risk does not appear as though it will be specifically viral, unlike in previous winters when a swine flu epidemic looked set to break out. Health authorities offer vaccinations to the over-60s, anyone who has regular contact with the general public including medical workers, teachers, police officers, firefighters, Mayors and anyone working

with the elderly, plus those who have chronic or serious health conditions such as cardiovascular problems, diabetes or cancer, and pregnant women. Medical bosses say preventing flu is ‘the responsibility of healthcare professionals, patients and the public at large’ since the vaccination is ‘the only way of avoiding exposure to an illness with potentially serious consequences’. Those who do not fall into the ‘high risk’ category do not normally get a vaccination free of charge on the health service, but the jab can be bought over the counter at a pharmacy and either self-administered or given by a nurse at a local health centre by appointment. Health authorities stress that the flu vaccination is effective, has no sideeffects and for the sake of one short appointment at the patient's local GP clinic, can save lives and prevent a great deal of unnecessary work and cost for medical services. Those at risk of catching the virus who do not have the jab are also exposing other people to the perils of infection, meaning it is socially responsible to arrange for it to be administered. In Guardamar Mayor José Luis Sáez and the Councillor for Health Ana Martinez were the first patients to receive the flu shot. The pair took the step to dispel the myths about the adverse effects of vaccination and to emphasise the need for those at risk to be vaccinated to prevent health complications. The seasonal flu vaccine is totally free in the municipality and is aimed at the group outlined above.

Business Profile

Made-up Beautician Jo has more than 13 years’ experience in the UK and Spain and is now offering her considerable knowledge and expertise to both local salons and private customers alike, through her mobile business - called ‘Made-up’. Jo, form Merseyside, is fully trained and qualified and specialises in permanent make-up, Hollywood Lashes, LVL Lash Lift, Billion Dollar Brows and threading. Jo previously owned her own salon and has a wealth of experience dealing with individual customer requirements. The make-up treatments Jo specialises in use a technique similar to a tattoo to produce designs that resemble make-up such as eye-lining, lip lining, eyebrow enhancement and enhancing colour to the skin of the face, lips and eyelids. Permanent make-up usually lasts around 5 years. These treatments are ideal for those who don’t want to waste time every morning applying make-up or let alone freshen-up several times throughout the day or wish to enhance their natural features. Not forgetting people with unsteady hands, poor eyesight or those who suffer with allergies when using conventional makeup. Hollywood Lashes are semipermanent eyelash extensions that can have a life span of 4-6 weeks, longer with regular ‘in-fills’. Hollywood Lashes are made from one natural looking lash with no bobble or feathering, they are weightless and are shaped to emulate the natural lash and therefore can be applied on top, below, or either side of the donor lash. Once applied, Hollywood lashes look gorgeous, are weightless, crimp resistant and flexible. They are also water resistant meaning you can swim, shower, cry and sleep without worry. The lashes come in different lengths, thickness, curves and colours and can be applied to look natural or a highglamour. LVL Lash Lift lasts around 8-weeks and enhances the definition of the natural lash for an everyday solution without lash extensions. Billion Dollar Brows are

perfect for special occasions as it shapes and tints the brow and creates the best eyebrow shape for your face. Threading is an ancient method of hair removal originating in the middle-east. In threading, a thin cotton or polyester thread is doubled and then twisted. It is then rolled over areas of unwanted hair, plucking the hair at the follicle level. Unlike tweezing or waxing, where single hairs are pulled out one at a time, threading can remove short lines of hair. The advantage for eyebrow threading, as opposed to eyebrow waxing, is that it provides more precise control in shaping eyebrows and is gentler on the skin. Already building a considerable reputation, Jo is working at a number of local salons including: Lauren’s Nails & Beauty (near Playa Flamenca Sports Centre), Bliss in Algorfa (Fridays), Perfect 10 at the Rioja Centre, The Beauty Palace La Zenia, Hair and Beauty Academy Los Dolses, Platinum in El Galan. She is also building her mobile business and is fully legal and insured to work anywhere in Spain, be that at home, at someone else’s home or in a business environment. Salon owners interested in scheduling Jo for consultations, private customers and those wanting more general information can call 634 331 663. Mireille Toddington

his coming weekend is an excitingly scary one because if you didn’t realise it — it’s Halloween! As it falls on a Saturday this year (and there is a lot at stake), some venues have taken the liberty of having a double whammy by putting on events on the Friday too. Twice the chance to use those costumes! Originally All Hallows Eve was the date is believed to be the night of the year when the spirits of the departed can visit their relatives. Hence the Spanish call it the “Day of the dead”. Nowadays, all over the

T

world Halloween has become a night to party and dress up in costume. It’s not only the children who can enjoy themselves. The Costa Blanca’s bars will be full of pumpkins, ghosts, witches and lively music. There will certainly be a lot of spirits around, mainly being drunk by the hundreds of party revellers. Halloween has to be the one night of the year that any psychic medium will be in their element. Our very own TV star Alison Wynne Ryder will be putting a very special show on in

Los Dolses with a unique spin to Halloween. Known as the “Quirky Medium”, she has just returned from a sell out tour of Canada where the programme “Rescue Mediums” was originally recorded. Now a resident on the Costa Blanca, Alison has been sending lost spirits to the other side and bringing accurate messages and comfort to believers and non believers alike. As the last big event before Christmas (sorry to remind you but it’s only 2 months away) it is the perfect opportunity to get

out and join in the fun at your favourite venue. Make no bones about it, whatever your taste in music you can find it in our area. We have bewitching bands and creepy country and western; spooky soul and devilish discos and eye popping pop music. There is a frightening amount of talent to see. Witch ever one you choose it is bound to be a treat. You don’t need your mummy, a ghoulfriend or to be batty to enjoy this weekend. Whatever you wear and wherever you go I am sure you will have a boo tiful time.

Ask the Guardia Civil The Costa Blanca People is delighted to announce that we will be featuring a regular advice column from the people behind the popular N332 Facebook page offering advice and information about driving in Spain. The Facebook page currently offers advice to 14,000 users and aims to help motorists in Spain ensure they are abiding by the law. Pride of Spain award winner, Francisco Morales, is a Guardia Civil Traffic Officer and along with his colleagues, spends great time and energy replying to people’s questions about motoring laws. Francisco told us, “Some driving laws are universal – like obeying the speed limit, or not using your mobile phone while driving. However, some are unique to Spain – for example, did you know that if you are towing a trailer, you are obliged to carry a fire extinguisher? My colleagues and I from the N332 advice group want to ensure that drivers aren’t fined unfairly because of lack of local knowledge. We can do this through our Facebook page (www.facebook.com/TorreviejaTrafficDe partment) and the website N332.es which is run by a group of expat volunteers to help us spread the word. However, as not everyone has internet access, or Facebook, collaborating with

the Costa Blanca People is a great way for us to get the message out to the English speaking community on the Costa Blanca.” The team at N332 are also holding a series of talks and presentations and recently, met with the popular ADAPT group in San Pedro where people were able to ask questions and find out more about motoring laws in Spain. Representatives from the group’s website and Facebook page were introduced by ADAPT President John Frame before showing a series of videos such as “How to identify an unmarked Guardia Civil patrol car” and “How to drive on a roundabout” as well as slides relating to driving laws in Spain. During the 90 minute presentation, a number ofquestions from the audience were answered. Francisco told us, “There is a lot of misinformation around – for example, people think it is the law to carry spare bulbs in the car with you and that you will be fined if you don’t. However, this is not always the case as in some cars, the lights can only be fixed by a mechanic and in this case, it is not obligatory to carry spare bulbs. Bit by bit, we are trying to make sure everyone has the most up to date, correct information.” To kickstart the Costa Blanca People’s driving advice column we thought we’d ask Francisco to clarify some of the most popular “advice” doing the rounds in the expat community. We asked... Q: Is it true that if you don’t wear a ‘high vis’ jacket while cycling, the police can fine you or dock points from your driving licence? A: This is an urban myth! The Traffic Department can only take points off a driving licence if you have got one, so if the law does not force you to have a licence to ride a bicycle, this is not possible. To ride a bicycle, you do not need a driving licence, it would be unfair

to lose points only for those who have a licence. You have to wear a high vis jacket when cycling if you are doing so at night (any time between sunset and sunrise) and in bad weather conditions when visibility is reduced. Q: Is it true that I will be fined if I drive my car while wearing flip flops or high heels? A: According to the law Reglamento General de Circulacion, article 3.1 “You have to drive properly avoiding damage to people or things. It is forbidden to drive in a negligent or reckless way.”What does this have to do with footwear? When you drive with flip flops you can have an accident – for example, when you drive back home from the beach, your flip flops usually may be wet and covered with sand. Therefore you have a high risk of your flip flops falling off while driving. Furthermore, with flip flops it can be difficult to brake/accelerate properly. This scenario can end in a traffic accident and in this case, you can be fined for driving with inappropriate footwear. We have known many cases of people driving with flip flops or with high heels who have had an accident caused by the use of this kind of footwear. So there is NO law which prohibits the use of flip flops or high heels, but the article of law we mention above (art.3.1) can be applied to drivers who have an accident as a consequence of this. So in summary, it is NOT FORBIDDEN to drive in flip flops or high heels – however, it is advisable to avoid this sort of footwear while driving as if it is deemed that unsuitable footwear is the cause of an accident, you can be fined under article 3.1. Send your questions about driving in Spain to n332@costablancapeople.com Don’t forget you can find more advice about driving in Spain at www.facebook.com/TorreviejaTrafficDe partment and from the website N332.es

King Carlos’ cars go under hammer Two Ferraris given to Spain’s King Juan Carlos by the United Arab Emirates government in 2011 are both to be auctioned off by the Finance Ministry for around €350,000 each. The news of the auction was published last week in the government’s Official State Gazette. Potential buyers will be able to present

their offers up until 30th October, and the envelopes containing the bids will be opened on 6th November. The two four-seater Ferrari FFs – one silver gray and the other black – were both presents from UAE Prime Minister Sheik Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum following a visit by the Spanish

monarch to watch a Formula 1 race in the country in November 2011. The King subsequently decided to donate the gifts to Spanish National Heritage, which has now handed them over to the central government for auction. The cars have been stored without being used in a garage in the Zarzuela royal palace in Madrid, waiting for National Heritage to take charge of them. According to an expert valuation report, the gray vehicle “has a slight scratch mark on the left front side and rear side,” as well as a “slight dent on the back wheel,” while the tires show “hardly any wear.” Together with the 763 kilometers on its clock, these minor imperfections – barely visible at first glance and whose origins are unknown to the Finance Ministry – are presumably the reasons why the vehicle has been priced at €345,000, which is €5,000 less than the flawless black model, which has never been taken out and is in perfect condition. Registered in September 2012, the cars both boast a 6,262cc V12 engine that produces 486 horsepower. The valuation report also includes a more detailed description of the cars’ basic and optional features, which include: a silver dedication plate, leather mats, handheld extinguishers, 20-inch alloy sports wheels with a diamond finish, a rear-seat entertainment system, leather trays, a high-power sound system, front and parking cameras, colored steering wheel, TV tuner, a TV screen for passengers, and tinted rear windows.

Emergency chemist In every town on the Costa Blanca, you will find a chemist open out of hours. In some larger towns such as Torrevieja, some chemists open throughout the day with no ‘siesta’, or even until 9pm and over weekends. The duty chemist can change on a weekly basis and in some towns, local pharmacies take turns to be ‘on duty’ out of hours and through the night for emergencies. If you approach an emergency chemist and it appears to be closed, look closer as often for security reasons, out of hours business is done via a small hatch

through which prescriptions, payment and medication can be passed. Consult a full list of emergency chemists for out of hours medication at: www.lasfarmaciasdeguardia.com Under the heading, “Farmacias de guardia por provincia” choose your province (Alicante or Murcia for most readers) and you will be presented with an alphabetical list of towns. Simply click the town you are in, or a nearby town, and you will be given the name of the chemist along with a Google Maps link to the location.

CD Torrevieja - A day out for the whole family On 25th October CD Torrevieja played CD Castellón in what turned out to be an exciting game. Although the outcome of 1-0 to Castellón was not what Torrevieja’s supporters were hoping for, nobody went home disappointed with the way that they played. Having possession of the ball for the majority of the game, the team were unlucky not to come away with at least one goal. All children under 16 get into the Estadio Vicente Garcia for free. There is also opportunity for children to be a mascot and for this game, four children took part walking out onto the ground with some of the Torrevieja team. An exciting opportunity for them to meet the players up close and to feel even more a part of the match. The family day out feel was heightened by the fact that the match took place at 12.00pm rather than the usual 5.00 pm kick off. A change to the timetable that would mean people could come and support the local players before going home and watching the national matches on TV. Unfortunately, the weather did not live up to the occasion and although it had threatened rain it held up long enough for the crowd to enjoy the free paella which was served at the end of the match. Neither did the weather deter the U16 team ‘Fondo Sur’ who sat behind the goals, banging their drums to encourage

Las Ramblas Golf Our last game was the final round of the 5 Card Joker Eclectic Stableford competition which has been running since February. The winner of the competition is the player who scores the most number of points taking his best score on each hole with one hole nominated to score double on the front and back nine over 5 rounds. Prizes are also available on the day for the top three places and the winners were as follows: 1st Brian Staines 42 pts 2nd Terry

Cullen 40 pts 3rd Reg Akehurst 38 pts Following the game the numbers were crunched and it was Rod Doel who came out on top with a total of 68 pts. It was close for second position with Barry Holtham beating Alan Douglas and he in turn Terry Cullen on a count back with all three having 67 pts. A big thank you goes to Bryan Neal for his painstaking efforts in keeping track of all the scores over the past few months. Mike Chapman

the adult team along. If you’ve never been to a football match before, Torrevieja would be a very good venue to go. It’s friendly, small and there’s no problem with parking or long queues for the toilet. Unlike matches for the bigger teams, you don’t need to feel tempted to leave the ground before the end of the match to prevent getting stuck in traffic on the way home. It was good to see that the councillor for youth and sports, Pablo Samper, was there at the match giving his support too. Graham Knight was at the gate selling programmes and keeping the English-

Saturday saw CD Montesinos travel to Callosa de Segura, to play Callosa Deportiva “B”. Callosa’s stadium was a new or fairly new ground, with what looked like newly painted Astroturf, and even had an electronic scoreboard. Alongside the main pitch was a smaller equally new pitch being used for a veteran’s 5 – a – side game. In the entrance was a newly equipped bar, with a large patio bearing a bouncy castle for the children. A truly pleasant surroundings under a nearby small mountain. The game was frenetic from the start all the action taking place in the Callosa half of the ground. This pace continued throughout the game. A foul in the half circle of the Callosa penalty box, resulted in a fine strike by Dani, straight into the bottom right corner of the Callosa goal. After 14 min’s, 1 – 0 to Monte. No change during the second half, Monte still dominating the game. Twenty minutes into the second half, from a corner Dani scored his second goal with a fierce-some header, over the head of the Callosa goalkeeper. Almost immediately, Wallace hit the underside of the Callosa

goal with a brilliant header. Then Dani did the same a few minutes later into the right side upright’s corner. Jonhi came on as a substitute, and within 5 min’s he volleyed a shot straight at the Callosa goal after the goalkeeper had failed to hold onto another shot at goal. Then Carlos sent over a pass from the right hand side in front of the goal narrowly missed by Wallace. Monte’s passing was awesome with very few mistakes. The passes were swift and sure in midfield and defence, constantly searching for Carlos, Dani, or Wallace. Monte spent probably 80% of the game in the Callosa half. They had at least 10 corners to Callosa’s 2. Callosa only had one direct shot at goal. The game was constant with no players needing a rendezvous with their respective trainers. There were no bookings, repeat, there were no bookings. The game finished on time. A resounding 3 – 0 win for Monte. On Sunday 1st November 2015, CD Montesinos will be entertaining Atl Benejuzar at Los Montesinos, kick-off 4.00pm Terry Harris

Lime bar Golf Society The Limebar golf society attended a two day golfing event in Benidorm on the 21st and 22nd October 2015 was held at the Villaitana Courses. With 20 members teeing off on the first day on the larger Levante course in wet and windy conditions left some of the players struggled a little. The next day 19 players teed off on the shorter Pontiente course in sunny warm weather resulting in a much better playing day which was more relaxing. The competition was in the stableford format and the scores recorded are as follows. Nearest the pin on the 7th hole (par 3) on the first day was Ken Sutton. Nearest the pin

on the 12th hole (par 3) on the first day was Dave Cahill. Winner on the first day was Mike Heighway with 36 points Runner-up on the first day was John Winkley with 32 points Nearest the pin on the 4th hole (par 3) on the second day was Ken Styan. Nearest the pin on the 11th hole (par 3) on the second day was Pat Heaney.

Winner on the second day was Ken Styan with 42 points. Runner-up the second day was Ken Farrow with 41 points. Two very good days of golf in pleasant company, with thanks to the committee for arranging the event and a special thanks to Janette Cooper for organising the golfers and their partners at the Hotel and other events.

Your Week in Sport Tales from the Top Flight ■ CHRIS DARWEN chris@costablancapeople.com

I have no idea what I will start this column with once the Rugby World Cup is over. The competition is nearing it’s conclusion and it will be a New Zealand versus Australia final next weekend. This is the final many were predicting, but New Zealand nearly didn’t make it, scraping past South Africa 20-18. Australia had far fewer headaches, bringing Argentina’s historic tournament to an end, the Wallabies beating the Pumas 29-15. England, meanwhile, are holding a “review” into why their performance was substandard. They’ve put a committee together, oh yes. Don’t let the fact the committee is made up of all the people who chose the current RFU structure worry you, I am sure they will all sack themselves if found to be at fault. The England cricket team got into some excellent habits over the summer.

No, I am not talking about winning matches. I am talking about wrapping up proceedings in time for my Costa Blanca People deadlines. They have let me down today. At 10:04 on Monday morning they are 3 wickets away from defeat against Pakistan in the Second Test. What am I to do? Do I wait a little longer and see if they collapse further, or do I submit this now so I can have my breakfast? England needed a big innings from either Cook or Root, a cynic might ask when do they not? Sadly, neither was able to deliver and with at least 50 overs left to face they are left clinging on with the tail-enders.

Jenson Button has suggested that Lewis Hamilton needs a tougher challenge after his “easy ride” in the Mercedes this season. Loosely translated, that’s Jenson asking Lewis to give everyone else a chance next season by not driving the best car. Maybe he has a point. Hamilton wrapped up his third F1 Championship in style, winning the US Grand Prix. Sadly FIFA have not done or said anything worth poking fun at this week. That cleared the way for UEFA to pick up their mantle. UEFA are planning to fine Manchester City because their fans booed the UEFA Champions League anthem in their midweek match with Sevilla. Yes, you read that sentence correctly. This is UEFA, whom you might expect to have slightly bigger things to be concerned about when you consider that their President is currently banned from all football related activity due to alleged mass corruption and fraud. Still, priorities and all that.

KEYLOR KEEPS MADRID ON TOP Real Madrid had what looked like a difficult trip to Galicia, to face the only other unbeaten club, Celta. But Cristiano Ronaldo soon eased Madrid’s fears when he scored after only eight minutes. Danilo added a second, but the second half was more evenly-matched, especially when Cabral was expelled. Teams down to ten men often seem to do well, and it was down to Keylor Navas that Real Madrid’s goal was kept intact until Nolito scored with a late scorcher. An injury time third by Marcelo sealed the Vigo side’s fate. Barcelona had to work hard to beat little Eibar at the Nou Camp, but Luis Suarez powered in a header in the first half, then added two precise goals for a hat-trick in the second, on the anniversary of his first game for the Catalan club. Young star Borja scored for the visitors. Atletico eased past Valencia to take third place, just two points behind Real Madrid and Barça. David Moyes’ Real Sociedad put four goals past Levante, and in-form Javi Guerro scored two of Rayo Vallecano’s three as they beat Granada. Málaga had an easy win over

Deportivo, but Villareal, suffering loss of form, could not find a goal against Las Palmas. In the second division, Osasuna went a point clear of Córdoba, despite only drawing away at Tenerife, but the best performance was by Alcorcón who smashed six past Llagostera to move into third. Racing de Ferrol stay top of group 1 in division 2B, and group 2 is headed by Real Madrid Castilla and Barakaldo the former side winning by dint of a hat-trick from Mariano – he is now top scorer in the division, and one wonders if he will fall under Rafa Benitez’s ‘radar.’ Cornellá still lead in group 3, where Hercules drew 1-1 away in Valencia. UCAM Murcia took over at the top of group 4, winning 3-0 over Algeciras. Away from football, a round of applause is surely due to Huelva’s Carolina Marín, already World Number One in Badminton, she has just won the French Open, her fifth title of the year. Malcolm Palmer

football, at the end of the day it’s the final goal count that counts.

Votes of confidence hey, Tim? They’re not all they are cracked up to be really, are they? As semi-predicted in this column last week, Aston Villa have blinked next and fired Tim Sherwood following their 2-1 defeat to Swansea at Villa Park. It was the sixth defeat in a row for Tim, who by all counts is still wearing his gillet and giving interviews about how “Tim Sherwood is still the man for this job and he will definitely turn it around.” Who will take his place? Brendan Rodgers, David Moyes, Bob Bradley and (insert your own manager here, it will make little difference) have been linked to the job. Andre Ayew’s late winner made him the happier of the two Ayew brothers, Jordan

Andre Ayews

having equalized for Villa. They remain bottom of the table, trailing Newcastle by two points. Is there anyone out there who didn’t back Sunderland to win? They now have six derby wins in a row, and the 3-0 hammering of Newcastle was Big Sam’s first win as the new gaffer. It was also Sunderland’s first win of the season and puts them on six points, just two behind Bournemouth above the relegation zone. I am yet to find a Geordie that is not convinced that the referee cost them the match, Coloccini receiving a red card for nudging Steven Fletcher to the floor when the Scot was in the penalty area. The resulting penalty was scored and it mattered not that Newcastle had 60% possession, they failed to score and Sunderland got two more. Statistics and

Jose Mourinho could have the only ticket in the raffle at the moment and still not win. I mean, he even lost the sack race to Tim! West Ham turned their impressive away form into the ability to beat a team in the bottom half of the table at home. A lot of the post-match

noise has been about the complete lack of Chelsea discipline, Matic sent off in the first half, Mourinho sent to the stands and at least another five players cautioned. However, the real story is that West Ham deserved to win. The closest Chelsea came to looking like their old selves was when they surrounded the referee protesting Matic’s red. Payet was everything Hazard or Fabregas used to be, all of West Ham’s play coming through the bargain Frenchman and the Hammers had the added bonus of the winning goal being scored by the forgotten man of English football, Andy Carroll.

should have been televised was Bournemouth playing host to Spurs. When I say playing host to, I mean kindly stepping aside and letting Harry Kane remember where the goal is. Kane helped himself to 3 of the 5 goals in the 51 demolition. What does Jamie Vardy have in common with Henry, Shearer, Wright, van Nistelrooy, Stein, Sturridge and Abebayor? That’s right, he scored in seven successive Premier League games (because do not forget, football did not exist before the Premier League!) Leicester beat Palace 1-0, finally getting a clean sheet and Vardy was the match winner. Palace have been excellent on the road this season, and will have left Leicester feeling like they had missed out considering they gifted Leicester the goal. Watford surprised Stoke with a 2-0 win at the Britannia Stadium, three points that see them higher in the table than last season’s champions. Mind you, West Brom are also above Chelsea, and their 10 win against Norwich was only marginally less painful than the Manchester derby. That Jurgen Klopp, wasn’t he supposed to bring thrilling, entertaining football to Anfield? Three games he has had now, and still unable to do any better than Brendan. The man is a fraud, a fraud I tell you. On a serious note, I am pretty sure that those darn statistics will show you that Liverpool ran around a lot more than Southampton in their 1-1 draw.

At some point in this season I am sure Arsenal were in alleged crisis. Then they went and beat Bayern and Everton in the same week, the latter result sending them top of the Premier League, albeit just for Saturday night. Ross Barkley had leveled Giroud’s opener, but Koscielny headed home the winner before half time. The only good thing about the Manchester derby was that Club Deportivo Torrevieja were featured in the adverts at half time! Still, even that wasn’t worth sitting through 90 minutes of “Super Sunday” football. The game that

La Zenia Golf Society Coopers Another excellent turn out on Thursday, for our game at El Valle. I think James and Jack at Gogartys wondered what had hit them. The kitchen was working flat out to provide a a great breakfast. El Valle was in great condition fairways, tee areas and in particular the green were first class. The weather was kind to us so in all a great golfing day. Well done to the green keepers a great job done and appreciated by our members and guests. We played full handicap stableford, four n/t/p's, and usual two's pot. Nick Brooks won the day with a great score of 37 playing off a handicap 5, a tight game with two other players coming in with same score but on C/B Nick won. Other results were pins, No 6 Jim Smith, No 9 Tomas Thompson, No 12 Tomas Thompson, No 15 Gulli Kristjansson, an Icelandic thing going on here No winners for the twos pot, second roll over to next week.

TORRY OH, OH SO UNLUCKY TO LOSE 1-0 AT HOME TO CD CASTELLON ABBEY ANGLING Once again we fished the El Bosquet Complex for the 7th round of the Winter Series on the 20th October; following the heavy rain over the weekend the hardcore on the roads is starting to compact and the access is 100% better. This week we pegged the match consecutively, just to see if weights would improve but it made no difference, it is still the same pegs that are producing the top weights. Lennie seems to be lucky drawing one of the flyer pegs and making the best of it once again. 1st Lennie Bolton with 13.700kgs fishing the pole using pellet and corn 2nd Dave Hoare with 7.500kgs fishing the pole using maggot and corn 3rd Clive Cleghorn with 6.180kgs fishing the pole using maggot and corn There are still some vacancies available for membership at the club All details are available on our website www.abbeyangling.com or from me on 965328368. RODS & REELS We also fished the 7th round of the Winter Series at the El Bosquet Complex on the 21st October, due to the banks being covered in mud and unfishable on the river Segura at Murcia town centre. This water has now become a good back-up when other venues are unfishable. Talk about Maradonna having “The

The weather was kind to us with just the one wet day out of the seven days we were there, with three of those days being the Festival matches. There were four types of fish to be caught in the lake, Carp, Barbel, Cruceon and the one everyone hated catching the Spiny Catfish which was true to its name, the main method was the feeder using maggot and corn. Many thanks to Doug and Paul Hornblow of Watches of Wales who sponsored the prizes and everyone who entered the match received a prize. Very well done to Bill Reade who did all the organising of the Hotel accommodation and the festival licences along with all the paperwork involved in collating the results Also our thanks go to Mick Hill and Lennie Bolton who assisted with all the results First Doug Hornblow with 92.700kgs Second W Cannon with 89.360kgs Third Dave Hoare with 85.600kgs Fourth Lennie Bolton with 81.560kgs

Fortunately, the sun come out before our start time and the day stayed dry. The course was in reasonable condition however due to the overnight rain the fairways were damp and give no run on the balls which made the holes long for some members.

The Members and Guest4s returned to the Lo Crispin Tavern for Prizes and once again our thanks go to David and his staff for the refreshments.

On Sunday Torry entertained CD Castellon who won the league last season and also were runners-up in the “national Federations Cup competition. This season so far hasn´t gone according

to plan and they are languishing in the bottom half of the table and last week changed their manager. There side is packed with players with Segunda B experience. Torry have started to improve after a poor start to the season and were unbeaten in their previous 3 matches. They have also had a shake-up in personnel, getting rid of 4 players and bringing in ex-player and crowd favourite Rafa Gomez and two players from the highly successful CD Castellon side of last season, Javi Selvas and “marque” signing Ruben Suarez who scored 13 goals last season from midfield. Manager Pedreno made only one change from the side which gained a point at Elche Ilicitano the previous weekend bringing in Javi Selvas for young defender Matej. Jorge was deployed again in central defence with Quintero playing in the holding role in front of the back-four. The Torry line up: Oscar, Luis Carlos, Javi Selvas, Quintero, Vicente, Carrasco (Adrian Banderas, 70 '), Jorge Sanchez, Brani (Rafa Gomez, 46'), Juanma and Cesar. The game kicked-off at lunch-time beneath a clouded sky in front of a decent sized crowd of 500 + . Torry started the better and were particularly dangerous down the left flank with Luis Carlos and Juanma combining well and between getting behind the opposition defence and delivering a number of

crosses which were not capitalised on. After 12 minutes Carrasco played Cesar in whose snap-shot struck the upright. As the game progressed Castellon got more into the game but Torry still enjoyed the bulk of possession. After 16 minutes Juanma fizzed a direct fee-kick just wide of the upright. Torry were playing some expansive football and getting round the back but Castellon packed their defence and were first to the crosses which rained in. Castellon nearly achieved the breakthrough after 27 minutes when they broke down the right and played in their number 7 who turned Jorge and had his goal-bound

effort cleared of the line by Selvas. Torry continued to take the game to Castellon. After 42 minutes a major set-back for Torry. Brani lost the ball in his own half and Castellon moved the ball forward quickly and created a chance for their no.7 who struck a fierce drive into the far corner of the net to give Castellon the lead. The first-half came to a close with Cesar trying his luck from range with an effort which went wide of the upright. Torry made a change for the second-half bringing on Rafa Gomez for the ineffective Brani. Torry were almost level 2 minutes into the second period when Cesar got on the end of a Rafa Gomez cross and had his header blocked on the line. There were cries of “penalty” from the terraces as he was definitely pushed when going for the ball but the ref

ignored the shouts. Castellon “parked the bus” and sat deep in their own half and invited Torry on and Torry pushed forward with wave after wave of attacks but just couldn´t find a way through or have the break of the ball. Cesar and Juanma were denied by the keeper who just got to through balls before them and Adrian came the closest with his goal-bound strike being headed out from under his cross-bar by a Castellon defender. Castellon did break out on a number of occasions and twice had two on one situations but first Selvas and then Vicente prevented the forwards getting clear with last ditch saving tackles. In the last 15 minutes Jorge was pushed forward into the centre forward position as Torry “chucked the kitchen sink” at Castellon. Jorge did win some headers but Castellon held on to secure a very hard fought victory. The referee handled the game well and booked only 3 players including new boy Javi Selvas of Torry. Torry played very well and most certainly deserved at least a point if not all three but just couldn´t get the ball in the back of the Castellon net. The Torry players would have been gutted but should have been proud of their efforts. The “Man of the Match” for me was Quintero who excelled in a deep lying central midfield role. After the game the fans were treated to a free paella which was delicious and a nice touch by the

football club. Torry are away to highly placed Torre Levante next Sunday when hopefully Ruben Suarez will make his debut after the paperwork for his transfer has been finalised. Darrylldinho
