Voting shambles – Mayor of Orihuela takes action “Voting shambles”, was the description given by a voter of their experience in the municipal elections in Orihuela on 24th May this year. There were concerns that deliberate confusion and even manipulation of voting districts, had been used by members of the previous government to deter voters in Orihuela Costa. At the time of the last local elections, changes were made to the location of polling stations, causing confusion and obliging some voters, for example those living in Playa Flamenca, to travel up to 6 kilometres to vote in the little known and badly signposted Reading Point. This contributed to a low level of voter participation in Orihuela Costa. These practices were undemocratic and obstructed the exercise of the right to vote of hundreds of Orihuela Costa residents and Bob Houliston believes they were certainly
sufficient to deny his party CLARO continued representation in the Council. The practices were denounced by CLARO at the time and were fully documented in a complaint made to the new Mayor of Orihuela. He has now replied to Bob Houliston, the President of CLARO stating that after consulting the electoral authorities (Censo Electoral), it has been confirmed that the Town Hall is able to increase the number of polling stations to reduce the distances voters have to travel to vote, provided that the polling stations are located in premises owned by the Town Hall to ensure that they are not changed from one election to another which it is acknowledged causes confusion. The Mayor has promised to introduce changes which will ensure compliance with the principles laid down by the electoral authorities when they have publicly owned premises.
CLARO welcomes this commitment by the new Popular Party Mayor of Orihuela. The indignation felt after the local elections in May was justified. It should be possible to introduce these changes and facilitate voting by Spanish citizens as soon as the national elections to be held in December. Public premises exist, prominently and conveniently located in schools or the municipal Sports Centre, for example, to ensure that voters do not have to travel unreasonable distances. By the time of the next municipal and European Parliament elections the changes can certainly be

made to ensure that obstacles to voting of both Spanish and non-Spanish EU residents can no longer be imposed. The Mayor’s commitment should also ensure that the out of date Spanish law which does not include the number of nonSpanish EU voters in the calculation of the number of polling stations created, is not applied again to reduce the number of polling stations in Orihuela Costa and to obstruct the democratic rights of residents to vote to defend their interests in determining the composition of the municipal government.

BITE SIZE Town councils support NEWS: the British Community 11th November – remembrance service The Torrevieja branch of the Royal British Legion will hold its Remembrance Service at the La Siesta Church at 10.45 am on November 11th. Lunch will be available at the Coopers Arms after the service and more information can be obtained from Dianne Budd at diannealan@gmail.com The Torrevieja branch of the British Legion meets on the 2nd Friday of each month at Casa Ventura in San Luis at 6.30pm for a 7.00pm start.
Many towns in the Alicante district have a significant British population living in them. This brings with it both challenges and opportunities. On the 29th October councillors and the British Consulate Alicante met together to discuss how to improve support for their British communities. It was recognised during the discussion how much effort the British community put into fundraising, volunteering and
to encourage volunteering within the British community. There will soon be an English speaking email and phone numbers for enquiries and contact as part of this agreement. Commitment was expressed by the councillors present towards supporting the British community and making contact with those living in their areas. ‘Getting the councillors together has been really beneficial,’ said Sarah-Jane Morris,
charitable events. This involvement makes a positive contribution to the town in which they live. Areas where further support is needed include in learning Spanish and encouraging them to register on the padron. The meeting was held at the Red Cross headquarters in Alicante. There councillors heard about a recently-signed collaboration agreement between the British Embassy and Red Cross. The agreement aims to enable easier access to Red Cross services for English speakers and
British Consul for the Alicante region. ‘We have looked at how to better support British nationals by working together and learnt from each other and shared ideas. We want to ensure that British nationals and English speaking charities get the best possible support from their town halls.’ The councillors who took part represented the top ten towns in terms of British resident numbers in the Alicante consular district as well as other smaller towns with a high percentage of British nationals on the padron.
Paul Cunningham reminder Don’t forget that at 8.00 pm on the 20th November at The Club in Quesada, Paul Cunningham Nurses Charity will be hosting a charity function. The function will feature the duo Bella Luna and tickets are €13.50 and include a dinner of Spanish chicken or beef hot pot.

Costa children finally BITE SIZE NEWS: get school bus ■ MIREILLE TODDINGTON
mireille@costablancapeople.com The Councillor for Education, Begoña Cuartero, has announced that the school bus service will be reinstated at both Orihuela Costa schools. Until now children had been refused transport by the Ministry of Education sparking outrage from parents, teachers and local councillors. Finally, a month-and-a-half after the start of the school year, students from schools in Los Dolses, Playas de Orihuela, Fernando de Loaces, Villar Palasí and "Our Lady of Bethlehem" in La Aparecida will be able to catch the school bus. The regional administration has agreed expanded from 30 to 50 the number of student places for Playas de Orihuela, while Los Dolses School now has three buses, instead of the two

initially granted. The Councillor for Education said: “This is good news for all the families involved and completely necessary because after nearly two months without transport the situation was untenable for many of the children and their parents.” Also, the mayor noted that the local government ‘has always been on the side of parents and will continue in that vein because it is our role to be responsible.’ The Councillor for Education, the Mayor of Orihuela Emilio Bascuñana, and the coordinator of services for Orihuela Costa, Councillor Sofia Alvarez, have all held several meetings with the parent, teacher associations in the area, and school directors to address the problem of the lack of school transportation among students across Orihuela since the start of the school year.

Spoon week It’s perhaps a rather strange title for an interesting event. This is the third time that Torrevieja will have hosted the Semana de la Cuchara or ‘The week of the spoon’. The week takes place from the 2nd to the 8th November and 24 restaurants are taking part. The event was opened by Fanny Serrano councillor for hospitality and Manuel Osuna, the president of the business association AEHTC. For this year restaurants have prepared menus with dishes typical to the Vega Baja. They offer complete menus that include starters and desert. Each restaurant has been allowed to set the price for the menu and so they vary from between €15 and €30. Fanny Serrano has applauded the variety and quality of food on offer and acknowledges the importance of the restaurant trade as part of the tourist industry in Torrevieja. If you would like to find out more about the participating restaurants and what they have on offer visit www.torreviejagstronomica.com.

BITE SIZE Orihuela bans circuses and bull fights NEWS: Continued from page 4
Money raised in aid of Huntington’s Disease A successful charity lunch on Thursday 22nd October led to €553 being raised for research into the hereditary Huntington’s Disease. The fundraising event took place at Restaurante Giovanni and included a three course lunch and was organised by Margaret Tozer and her sister Marion Smith, who’s husband David suffers from HD. It has already claimed the life of Marion’s father in law, Vic and is also affecting her brother-in-law, Gary. The group were grateful to the restaurant owner, John and his staff for their time as well as the prizes donated during the afternoon. Huntington’s Disease destroys the pathways between the brain and the rest of the body and leads to uncontrollable movements including loss of speech, incontinence and loss of memory. It causes changes in personality and depression.
Remember, remember… Following on from all the publicity surrounding Halloween this year, Bonfire Night has hardly had a look in. Of course, as it commemorates a purely British event it’s not surprising. However, there are some places where you can enjoy a traditional bonfire and all the trimmings. One of the main venues to keep the 5th November tradition going is the Grand Design house Casa La Pedrera at Torremendo. They will be celebrating Guy Fawkes night on the 6th November this year. Tickets can be obtained from Jenni Ray by calling 660 816 620 or emailing campolifewithjenni@gmail.com. They cost €8 for an adult and €4 for children under 12. The event will start at 6.30pm and there will be fireworks, activities such as quad bike riding, pony rides and air rifle shooting from 6.00pm. Participants are invited to bring their own ‘guy’ and there will be a prize for the best one. Richie Sparks from BIG FM will be providing the music and every child will receive a free sparkler.
The Orihuela Council’s Plenary Meeting held last Thursday declared the municipality to be free of circuses or shows which exploit wild animals, including traditional bull fights. The motion was brought by the Cambiemos Party to try and stop such events being held on public land, and to guarantee that those held on private land must comply with all the legal and health requirements. The proposal was passed
UK first stop for Spanish expats A typical 'economic migrant' from Spain is aged between 25 and 34, and heads for the UK over any other country, according to research by the temporary work agency Asempleo. A total of 80,141 Spaniards left Spain last year to find a job – a total of 185 percent more than in 2007. They are mostly from the Canary Islands (18.6 percent), Catalunya (18.5 percent) or Madrid (18.1 percent), with the regions waving goodbye to the fewest inhabitants being Asturias (9.7 percent), Extremadura (10.1 percent) and Andalucía (12.3 percent). The UK welcomed 9,552 Spaniards last year alone, some 75 percent of whom were of working age. Of those who stayed in Spain, 15.1 percent have moved elsewhere in the country for work in the last five years, with 2010 seeing the highest level of crosscountry migration, a time when 19.1 percent of those in work, or one in five employees, moved to another part of Spain. Those moving elsewhere in the same province for jobs totalled 22.5 percent in the five-year period - this was up to and including 2010 - or 24.1 percent within the same region but to different provinces. Movement in this time to other regions altogether totalled 23.4 percent. Those who relocate within Spain for work are typically male, with at least graduate-level studies, who works in personnel, security – such as the police force – sales or restaurant and catering.
Studio32 present Dick Whittington

with the support of the Socialists (PSOE) and Ciudadanos and Foro Demócrata abstained. The Partido Popular (PP) local government voted against the motion, with Councillor Sabina Galindo saying it is each person's individual freedom to choose whether to watch or participate or not in shows like these. “We do not support circuses that mistreat animals,” she said, “Circuses look after the well-
A total of half of all Spaniards of working age with degree-level or professional equivalent qualifications have moved elsewhere in the country in the last five years, with those whose education stopped after primary school accounting for fewer than 7.7 percent. Professionals, police and other security forces, sales persons and those in the restaurant sector are the most likely to move to another part of the country – 23.8 percent - followed by directors and top-level company managers at 4.3 percent, farmers and fishermen at 1.4 percent and those in the Forces at 1.3 percent. Most Spaniards who move abroad to find jobs are in their late 20s or early 30s, graduates or above, with no family ties, and hope to be able to return to their home town within a few years. These figures show a new generation of relocating workers – until the financial crisis, Spaniards rarely moved beyond their home towns or even neighbourhoods. It is still traditional for students in Spain to opt for the university nearest to their home address and return home to their parents every weekend, moving back in with them when they graduate.
being of their animals”. The PP also argued it is necessary to “Sensitise people rather than to impose upon them”. The Cambiemos councillors celebrated the motion being passed. They said they believe that “allowing these activities in our city makes us complicit in animal mistreatment.” The Socialists were in favour of the ban and reminded the meeting that a

similar motion has already been passed in Cataluña, the Balearic Islands and the Canary Islands and more than 100 municipalities. Ciudadanos said the motion was more of a moral question than a political one but its three councillors decided to support it in the end. Councillor Pepa Ferrando, of Foro Demócrata abstained, arguing that she respects animals but defends Spanish traditions, like bull fighting.

All Saints Day in Torrevieja ■ SUZANNE O’CONNELL
suzanne@costablancapeople.com November 1st is a national bank holiday in Spain in memory of those who have died. The festival of Todos los Santos (All Saints Day) brought thousands of people to the local cemeteries to remember those who are no longer with us. Most people arrived at around midday to commemorate their dead and in some places police control was necessary to ensure the flow of traffic. Saturday had also been a busy day at the cemeteries this year due to the fact that the Todos los Santos fell on a Sunday and some families decided to pay their respects on Saturday, allowing Sunday to remain free. In Orihuela police were positioned to control the influx of people going to the cemetery particularly from the 340 where there is a single point of access to the town centre.
New Friends of the Samaritans ■ SUZANNE O’CONNELL
suzanne@costablancapeople.com The Samaritans in Spain has been growing over the past few years. Now the group has expanded its charitable work to include a free telephone help line and extended facilities in its base in Punta Marina. In order to enable this much needed work to continue, a new social and fundraising group has been formed. The Friends of the Samaritans in Spain is run by Kim Taylor from Los Montesinos. They meet regularly with the aim of raising money and awareness of the Samaritans in Spain. The Friends first major event was a funday held in Bar Dominos Torrevieja on Saturday 10th October. The event included lots of stalls and Jo, Tracey, Jacquie, Harvey and Bethany sat in a bath of baked beans to raise sponsorship money whilst Kevin and Martin had their heads shaved. The amount raised altogether was €1057,16 and this was presented by Kim to the Samaritans President Eddie Purcell at their Drop-In Centre and Charity Shop at Punta Marina. Kim would like to thank JoJo, Norma Sandy and Sally Helena for helping on the day and Saranne from Dominos bar for hosting the event. If you would like to join the efforts of the Friends group, they meet every Monday in Bar Spangles in Los Montesinos when weekly bingo is organised at 1.30pm. You can email Kim at Friends@samaritansinspain.com for further information. The events being organised by the group can be followed on their Facebook page and more information about Samaritans in Spain can be found on the website www.samaritansinspain.com Samaritans free help line: 900 525 100.
Families carried bouquets of flowers and the atmosphere was one of nostalgia and remembrance. A special, free bus service had been arranged to
take people to the municipal cemetery in Torrevieja. The bus service began on Friday the 28th October and the last bus was on 1st November.
No headstone for some Death might make us equal but the way in which the passing of the dead is marked is not. As thousands flocked to remember those they have lost with flowers and at headstones there are many that will have only a basic inscription to be remembered by.
Not everyone has a marble tomb stone to visit to remember their dead. Granada town council are reporting that the number of families forced to ask for a ‘social’ funeral has doubled since 2008. Such a funeral might include the basic process of dressing the corpse, a coffin and a grave plot awarded for five years, but no headstone is included. The average cost of a basic funeral is €2,000. A sum that is above the means of an increasing number of families. For those who died in their attempt to reach Spain and make a new life here, there may be no family or friends to pay for the funeral. The cemetery at Motril (Granada) has thirty spaces dedicated to immigrants who died looking for their new life. To help cover the cost of those who can’t afford to pay, Granada City Council has allocated more than €32,300 for social burials to help poorer families and those people with no family at all. A necessary part of a town council budget that’s unfortunately on the increase.

PSOE candidate wants to scrap religious education Religious education could be a thing of the past if PSOE candidate Pedro Sanchez triumphs in December’s general election. If Sanchez is named prime minister he has vowed to pull religion courses form both public and private schools. Sanchez would only allow religious education courses to be taught as extracurricular activities outside of school hours. He claims that religion ‘should no longer be forced upon children’s schooling’. However his plans have already met strong opposition from the Catholic church. Sanchez’s proposal is just a way of stirring up problems,” Spanish Catholic Bishop spokesman, Father Jose Maria Gil, said. “Sanchez needs to keep in mind that most people in country, the people voting for him, are Catholics. “Religion is an important part of this country and of the world, and religious courses need to remain on par with the rest of the subjects.”

Terror in Torrevieja The build up had been big and the results weren’t disappointing. On the evening of 31st October hundreds of people turned out dressed up as ghouls, ghosts, vampires and witches to haunt the streets of Torrevieja. Families congregated in the Plaza de la Constitución from 5.00pm onwards and were entertained by street acts and mini workshops across the town. At around 5.30pm families began to collect by the town hall to form the frightening procession. At the head of the cavalcade was an old-fashioned American police car with sirens and flashing lights to match. This was followed by the sound system that included speakers pumping out loud screams, wails and, of course, Michael Jackson. The procession toured around the town centre, creating their own entertainment and showing their frightening best to the crowds lining the streets as they went. A little further away from the main square treats were being handed out to those who had successfully managed to collect stamps that evening from the town centre shops. It was good to see Torrevieja town centre so busy with families enjoying themselves and joining in. Part of the reason for the parade was not just to display the weird and wonderful costumes from Carrefour and beyond but also to help populate the dwindling numbers who visit the town centre for their purchases. The real issue that needs to be tackled is that of parking. It is extremely difficult to access free parking in the town centre, a problem that does not
exist for those visiting the out of town commercial centres. At least on the 31st October people put this problem aside and supported their local town.
Zombies Once families were on their way home, that wasn’t the end of the evening’s Halloween entertainment. This year the Survival Zombie attraction had received a lot of attention. The event was organised by World Real Games and the plot was delivered in 12 scenes that were enacted in selected parts of the town. In total there were 1,500 participants and one hundred actors who brought the story of zombies versus survivors to life. The evening began with people having their make up professionally applied and the setting for the evening’s events being established in Las Eras de la Sal. Here, more than 3,000 gallons of artificial blood was used to spectacular effect. Subsequent parts of the enactment took place in the Plaza de la Constitución and even included the submarine, although not everyone could participate in this part of the plot. The game lasted for eight hours and resulted in there being 1,000 zombies by the end of the night. More people than expected decided to ‘die’ and these had their make up done so that they could then become zombies themselves. The event began at 11.00pm and concluded with the final scene at 8.00 am on Paseo Dique de Levante. It didn’t just attract people from Torrevieja but was attended by many from Alicante, Murcia and as far away as Zaragoza. Suzanne O’Connell

INSPIRATIONAL (CREATIVE) WRITING 'Each of us have a third eye which is an 'all seeing' eye located over the brow chakra' - Alison, a Clairvoyant Medium of International Fame can see beyond the physical realm and is here to help you with any questions you have about The Spirit World & the Angels. Meet her each week here in the Costa Blanca People'! This week I have received an email from Rachael who has started receiving poems from the Angelic Realm. She questions this in her e-mail as at first she thought it was her imagination which I have assured her it isn't. Read on to find out more!
nature to question everything we receive if we can't make sense of it and ask where it has come from so I can appreciate how this has made you feel and you just need answers. I did the same! Through my own experiences receiving divine words of inspiration from the angels is second to none. To differentiate the words you have been given to what you feel might be your imagination just think of how the words are formed and the words themselves. Would this be something you would 'make up'? I don't think so. I feel very excited for you but I would like to give you one piece of advice if I may. Please ensure you write everything down from now on that the angels share with you. Keeping what I call an 'angel journal' is a great way to record the inspiring words that the angels share with you. If you start to question too much you may find the words dissipate so ensure you believe and trust in the authenticity of where the information has come from. Not many people can write poems from a higher plane so feel blessed that you have been chosen. As you develop, you may eventually wish to share these words with others in the future. To help explain in detail, please read the article I have written below and enjoy. With many blessings, Alison.
I use IW when I need advice from my angel as it is an excellent way of calming the mind and focusing on what information spirit feel I need to hear in order to give me guidance through their unconditional love. Inspirational writing was a lifeline for me last year when my husband was very poorly and it gave me courage, strength and enlightenment when I saw the beautiful words that my Guardian Angel had imparted. I knew there and then that everything would get better and all I had to do was trust.

Rescued mare sadly dies In a heartbreaking turn of events, a pregnant mare rescued and in a terrible condition from near Valencia has died, despite the Easy Horse Care Rescue Centre’s best efforts to save her. Centre co-founders Sue and Rod Weeding were contacted last month by a resident concerned about the horse’s skeletal state, and immediately encouraged the woman to report the
matter to the police so the centre could act. After a coordinated effort between the Valencia and Guardamar branches of Spain’s animal welfare unit, Seprona, Rod was officially given permission to seize the horse. He traveled the 150 kilometres from Rojales to Rotglà I Corberà at the end of October in a bid to save her, as well as a malnourished donkey also found on the property.
“The mare had been left to forage rubbish on a piece of land. She was absolutely skeletal and very weak but she survived the trip, a long three-hour drive,” Sue said. A veterinary inspection back at the Easy Horse Care Rescue Centre in Rojales revealed the mare was also three months’ pregnant and suffering a degenerative condition causing her back pasterns to collapse. “Two days later, she lay down and couldn’t get up, she was just too week. We tried everything we could for her but sadly she passed away with the stress of it all. It’s just heartbreaking,” Sue said. “The mare was called Betty, and that’s not a Spanish name, so we suspect she was given to the Valencian man by a nonSpanish person moving back home. Unfortunately we’ve come across this quite a lot in the past; people who don’t want to live in Spain anymore often just give away their donkeys and horses to anyone who will take them. These are often unscrupulous people.” The rescue centre`s vet Dorothea has now completed a veterinary report at the request of Seprona officials, who are pushing to prosecute the Spanish owner. Further negotiations are underway to attempt to rescue a second donkey, which remains on the Valencia property. The rescue was the first completed using the centre’s new trailer, purchased using donated funds after the old trailer suddenly broke down earlier this year. Sue and Rod thanked all who donated to trailer fund. “The positive side to this is that we can see our work is starting to have an impact across Spain. People are going to the police and the police are

acting, even connecting with our local officers to allow us to legally get involved. That’s one hell of an achievement,” Sue said. She urged anyone who sees an animal in distress to immediately report the matter to police. “Most of these officers don’t want to look the other way, they want to go in and help these animals but they have to have somewhere to home them. That’s why our work is so important,” she said. “But it is still mainly Rod and I who are doing everything – the rescues, overseeing our eight charity stores, and doing the feeds and medications for 97 horses, ponies and donkeys that live at the centre every morning and every night plus forage three times a day. It is a huge undertaking and we desperately need more help.” Anyone interested in making a donation, becoming a long-term sponsor, or volunteering at the rescue centre or in the charity shops can call Sue on 652 021 980. Donations of furniture and bric-abrac to stock the charity shops are also gratefully received. A pick-up service is available to collect large donated items such as furniture and each shop also offers a delivery service for large items purchased in-store. The Easy Horse Care Rescue Centre, located just outside Rojales at Partido Lo Garriga 59, opens to the public on the first Sunday of every month from 1pm to 4pm. Free horse tours run throughout the afternoon and refreshments are available in the café. For more details and directions, please visit www.easyhorsecare.net.

Pension Freedom Scams – How to avoid them!
Conmen across Europe have snatched nearly 10 million pounds from savers since the pension freedom rules were brought in on 5th April 2015. The Pension Freedom rules have made it easier to access your pension nest egg. This has led to an increase in scammers and fraudsters who want to dupe unsuspecting savers out of their pensions. They have been encouraging savers to plough their cash into suspect investments such as property in Belize or shares in made up companies. Yesterday, a report by the influential Commons work and pensions committee warned that savers were at risk of losing their pensions to crooks because of a lack of advice over the new reforms. Tom McPhail, head of pensions research at Hargreaves Lansdown, says: ‘The Government was slightly negligent in not taking firmer steps to address the fraud risk and to strengthen investor protections before rolling out the freedoms. He said further ‘From an individual’s point of view, the message is customers should only deal with regulated investments and schemes and to be wary of cold callers.’ John Lawson, head of financial research at insurer Aviva, says: ‘Since the pension freedoms were introduced, people can now access all their cash. Many will do that and then pass their savings on to the scammers. A lot of these scams are based on longer-term promises. People are still investing in hotels, car parks and holiday home developments that don’t exist — they just don’t realise yet that they’ve been ripped off.’ At Seagate Wealth Management, we only advise on Spanish compliant investment products. If you have a UK pension fund and you want advice on what you can and can´t do then please contact us on 965 704 338 or email Contact@SeagateWealth.es

WEEKLY EURO UPDATE The European single currency has maintained its weak tone over the last five days having taken a big step down the previous week following European Central Bank President Mario Draghi’s clear indication to the markets that he and other ECB members were ready to act to help ensure the EU recovery is maintained. Draghi now appears poised to deliver his next round of ‘whatever it takes’ stimulus measures possibly as soon as the December 3rd meeting, although whilst he refrained from specifying policy instruments, his hints suggested that the current asset purchase plan initiatives are being reviewed, as is the possibility of further interest rate cuts being part of monetary policy options available to them. Whilst the ECB looks towards adding quantitative easing measures the Bank of England on the other hand has its focus set on removing stimulus policy with UK rates set to rise at some point in the future as the recovery at home seems rather more engrained, albeit somewhat sluggish at present. This week we were treated to the UK’s first estimate of 3rd quarter GDP (Gross Domestic Product) with the report showing growth declining during this period to 0.5% from the previous quarter of 0.7%. Whilst this was a disappointment the result was not overly far away from market consensus. Weakening UK manufacturing which contracted for a 3rd consecutive quarter and a construction sector that shrunk at its fastest pace since 2012 were the cause of the decline. The UK’s dominant services sector continues to grow, but leaves the UK economic situation rather one sided, with the mantra of the march of the makers rather obsolete. UK economic growth remains positive when compared to other G7 nations, but should not warrant near term interest rate adjustments quite yet. The sterling € rate of exchange managed to print its highest level since August just shy of €1.40 by default of a weaker single currency rather than on the back of runaway sterling strength. The Euro really lost ground to a resurgent US$ having traded as low as €1.09 very briefly in Asia
trade. Again rather than European data being on the negative side driving sentiment, the move down was attributed to a differing tone coming from the US Federal Reserve in relation to their future monetary policy stance. Wednesday evening saw the Federal Open Market Committee leave US interest rates on hold yet again as expected by most. The big change in sentiment came when US policy makers said that they would consider tightening at their next meeting in December. The FED also removed a line from their update that had been included in their September statement. The global slowdown caused by economic headwinds riven by commodity declines and especially those impacting the emerging markets had given reason to consider delaying policy tightening decisions, this was now omitted. Further reason to suspect rates will move higher this year can be seen within labour reports showing falling unemployment still, although future releases will be closely scrutinised. The US 3rd quarter GDP came released this week saw annualised growth of 1.5% verses an expectation of 1.6%. The results did halt the surge somewhat although the diverging monetary policies of the US Federal Reserve and that of the European Central Bank now clearly suggest further single currency weakness with some market commentators suggesting that were both to make their moves in December we could see parity for the €/$ rate of exchange before the year is out. The Euro ended the week clawing back some of its earlier losses. The EU wide unemployment rate did improve slightly to 10.8% for September, representing the lowest rate since January 2012. Focus next week will be squarely on the US October Non-Farm payroll results and whether US unemployment can dip further. Should the US economy deliver improving results the markets will likely grow ever more confident that the US Federal Reserve will move on interest rates this year with a hike just before Christmas when the next live meeting takes place over the 15th and 16th December.
Stepping up to be the prince When Victoria Scott recently moved to Spain, she had no idea that she would shortly be taking on a major role in a theatre production there. Stagestruck are performing their Christmas production of ‘Sleeping Beauty’ and were already well into rehearsals when Victoria joined the group alongside her mother Dianne Scott. Originally Victoria was in the chorus but when the incumbent Prince had to drop out due to work commitments, Victoria agreed to step in as Principal Boy. Victoria is no stranger to the stage. At
the age of 18 she went to Mallorca as a member of entertainment staff in a hotel, and ended up coordinating the entertainment there. ‘I was there from being eighteen to 25. By this time I decided it was time to call it a day,’ says Victoria. She then went on to work on a cruise ship in order to have experience of a more professional set up and larger audiences. The cruise ship theatres could hold up to 1,000 people and she worked there for seven months before going back to the UK. ‘I didn’t want to stay there long term,’ says
Victoria, ‘and seeing as my mum had already retired to Spain it seemed like a good alternative.’ Victoria has been in Spain since May. It wasn’t long before she was looking to continue with her dramatic career, although she was uncertain how much time initially she could devote to it. ‘When I first came it I was very busy and so I didn’t want to commit to more than I knew I could manage in the time available. However, after the summer things are a little quieter now and I felt I could dedicate more time to the role.’ Victoria might be used to performing in front of others, but performing with family is a new experience. ‘It’s certainly different from sitting down with your mum over Sunday lunch,’ she says. It’s not even just her mum that she’s performing with, her father, Roger Scott, is involved in the lighting and sound for the production too. ‘Theatre and drama is something that our whole family enjoy,’ Victoria adds. Victoria and Dianne aren’t the only mother daughter performers. Blanca Helena Sierra plays Princess Aurora and her mother, Rita Naughton is Merryweather, the leader of the good fairies. It’s good to hear that this performance will be such a healthy mix of existing and new members of the cast. ‘They are a really lovely group to work with,’ says Victoria. ‘I couldn’t have found a more supportive group of people.’ Sleeping Beauty will be performed on Thursday 26th November at 3.00pm and on Friday 27th November and Saturday 28th November at 8.00pm. The performances will take place at the Cardenal Belluga Theatre in San Fulgencio. Tickets are €6 and are available from The Card Place in Benimar, The Post Box in Dona Pepa, Quesada, Marabu Lounge in Quesada, Kennedy’s supermarket in Montesinos and Ray’s Laundry in La Marina.

There are an awful lot of houses with high, forbidding walls in this part of Spain, turning homes in to fortresses. They are expensive to construct, need regular maintenance and do not deter a burglar if he has really made up his mind to get into your property. In fact it’s far more difficult to get over a prickly hedge!
Yew
Hedges are more eco-friendly, providing colour, and habitat for birds and bees. And whilst they give just as much privacy and protection from wind, they don’t make you feel imprisoned but rather close to nature. Another plus is that they change according to season, often
creating all year interest. You can make hedges from a wide variety of shrubs and trees; Yew (Taxus) is a great favourite as it is slow growing - so you will need to ask your nursery for mature plants if you need an instant hedge. It needs to be planted in spring or
need regular clipping and gets rather leggy if left to its own devices. However, put it behind some iron railings to give it some support and it is a pretty, evergreen option with small white flowers in spring. Lantana camara is a very popular contender for favourite hedge plant. You can buy a variety of colours and plant them in a row so that the different shades overlap and entwine as it grows. It does need some maintenance, but will reward you with flowers for most of the year. A spiteful hedge with prickly sprays of long, scented flowers is Berberis. It is a great intruder deterrent! Plant about 60cms apart and you will have a thick, impenetrable hedge which only needs a trim once a year after flowering. If your garden is very exposed, most of the plants already mentioned can form a
windbreak, but if you want to include hedge within your garden to divide it up, or emphasize a particular feature, think about a fragrant, low-growing herbal hedge. Shrubby herbs are native to this climate, so Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis), Lavender (Lavandula) and Bay laurel (Laurus nobilis) are naturals. One of the most versatile herbs, Bay laurel can be grown as a tall evergreen tree, but lends itself to pruning, training, growing as an espaliered plant, or even as a bonsai style herb plant. Bay plants are very attractive with their waxylooking olive green leaves, branches that can be trained to suit your taste, and flavourful leaves that will serve a valuable function as a versatile kitchen spice. Lavender and Rosemary obviously will not grow into tall hedges, but are ideal for defining an area of the garden. They smell wonderful and both produce blue/purple flowers in the spring. They like full sun and should be planted 3040cms apart. Pinch out the growing tips to make them branch out. Lavender flowers can be harvested when they are freshly opened and dried, hanging upside down in bunches in a cool place. As your hedge is going to be a longterm part of your garden it is important to make sure you get it off to a good start. Do not plant too close to the house or a road - and remember to trim it back so that the pathway outside is safe for pedestrians. You should prepare the planting area in advance, digging it deeply in the early
Laurus nobilis
spring and then leaving it to dry and break up a bit for a few days. Dig a trench about a metre wide and put a good layer of compost or horse manure at the bottom. This encourages the roots to keep in their own territory and stops them wandering off to rob other plants of food and water. Finishing the border with a layer of organic mulch will help prevent weed competition and conserve moisture as the border plants grow together. Stake any thin or spindly plants and water well until they are established. After that most hedges need little extra water and will give you years of privacy and pleasure. Marc Vijverberg
Lantana
autumn with about 50cm between plants. You will need to clip it in spring and late summer until it has reached maturity and then just one tidy-up a year in September will keep it in good shape. Cypress (Cupressus sempervirens) is another good hedging plant. There are a number of options, including ‘horizontalis’ with a wide spread and the ability to make a thick hedge quickly. Myoporum, in Spanish often just called Siempreverde, is a fast growing plant with thick glossy leaves which does

Orihuela tourism at London World Travel Market The Councillor for Tourism, Sofia Alvarez, has announced that that Orihuela will participate this week in the European trade fair World Travel Market. The event will be attended by the councillor and the Mayor, Emilio Bascuñana to encourage Golf tourism. The Department will offer golf brand under the header ‘Five Course Orihuela’. She said: “We want Orihuela to become the first tourist
destination of choice in the region and to add value to the brand. Participating in this event is a great opportunity for tourism and Orihuela and we are seizing the opportunity.” The tourist image of Orihuela will consist of the five golf courses that are located in the municipality: Real Club Golf Campoamor, Club de Golf Las Ramblas, Villamartin Golf Club, Las Colinas Golf and Vistabella Golf.
Alvarez said the Department of Tourism will travel to London under the umbrella of the Government and the Provincial Government, which will hold meetings with tour operators to position ‘our city and get tourists to stay overnight in Orihuela when they come to visit.’ The councillor stressed that it is the first time that the name of Orihuela is linked to the sport and that is the main communications challenge.

WELCOME TO CANTABRIA with Vivalia Travel Cantabria is situated on the Cantabrian coast in the north of Spain. It has lots of beautiful green valleys, so the rural tourism is very popular. Actually it is an ideal place to go to get away from the city, relax and enjoy the countryside.

Business Profile
JUST BRASS Just Brass was formed in 2003 and over the last 12 years has grown to become the leading brass band on the Costa Blanca. We are fortunate and privileged to include within our ranks players from many of the top UK brass bands, including Brighouse and Rastrick, Black Dyke, Fodens and Faireys to name but a few. Just Brass not only entertains their audience with traditional brass band songs but also include many other types of music including Bohemian Rhapsody, Sweet Caroline and classic “Last Night of The Proms” pieces. I have also heard on the grapevine that a new rendition of a James Bond theme will be performed for the first time at their next concert on the 12th November in Rojales. Band members travel from far and wide to attend rehearsals in San Miguel, from Alicante, Elche and some from the UK who have holiday homes here. No-one is paid to play with the band; in fact they pay a
weekly subscription which goes towards running costs. Funds raised through concerts go towards providing uniforms for players and maintaining instruments (some of which are well past retirement age). With
the recent, kind support of Avalon, Just Brass will be able to do more, sooner than previously planned. This includes a commitment to starting a junior band to give something back to the area and hopefully secure the future of the band through the young people of Costa Blanca. Our past affiliation with The Costa Blanca Lions has also enabled them to make regular contributions to The Lions and to other local charities including AECC.
When the Just Brass members moved to Spain, most of them gave up on their hope of playing their beloved instruments in a band. However due to many other like-minded musicians they were able to create the band. All the band members are proud and privileged to perform entertaining music to such appreciative audiences and to show a very positive side to expat life here in Spain. I am looking forward to the next concert which is on Thursday 12th November at 8.30pm in the Teatro Municipal, Capitol de Rojales, Carrer del Malecón de La Encantá 1, 03170 Rojales Tickets are €5 and can be purchased at the Post Room Benijofar, Post Box Doña Pepa, Pennys Supermarket, Playa Flamenca and Tweeties Restaurant, Aguas Nuevas, Torrevieja. Alternatively you can call 966 799 070 to reserve your place at this special event.

Joint Remembrance A very unique ceremony took place at the Military Base in Viator recently hosted by La Brigada de la Legion. Around 150 members from several Branches within The Royal British Legion District North Spain were able to accept the invitation to participate in the joint Parade and Remembrance Service to honour the fallen of both nations and to cement the relationship between the active Spanish Brigade and The RBL. On the parade itself the Spanish Legion was represented by the War Band, the Music Unit, a
SAMM raises money for AMMA The ‘Dia de Caldero’ is an annual ‘fiesta’ held on the beaches of Los Alcázares and greatly enjoyed by the Spanish and expat residents alike. For the last few years SAMM (the Sailing Association Mar Menor) has participated and this year at least 100 members of the association, many dressed as
sappers Squad and an Honour Guard comprising the Colonel of the Third Legion regiment, the Colonel of the Base Support Unit, all the Lt. Colonels commanding Legion units and its subordinate Officers and NCO’s. Having taken their places on the parade square they were joined by the RBL Standard Bearers who marched on, carrying their Standards under the direction of the Parade Marshal Neil Pavitt. The Chairman of District North Spain Nigel Hails made a short speech paying tribute to those who answered the call of duty and selflessly gave their all in order that future generations may enjoy peace, security and freedom. The General de Brigada Excmo. Sr.D Juan Jesus Martin
Cabrero, Commandante en Jefe de la Brigada de la Legion “Rey Alfonso X111” responded thanking Members for attending and praised the work of the Royal British Legion. Following the National Anthems of both nations, the Last Post and Reveille the General and the RBL Chairman each laid a wreath as they both paid tribute to the fallen. After the Ceremony a visit was made to the Legion Museum which Members found interesting and during the luncheon in the Officer’s Mess a presentation was made to the General. The Protocol Officer Major Alfonso Pedro Ruiz de Ona and many of the other Officers who had been involved in the Ceremony mingled with the guests. It was a very poignant and memorable occasion.
‘Pirates’, arrived to enjoy the celebrations. Drinks were provided by the SAMM Social Committee free of charge and other refreshments were delivered to the marquee by Shoestring members in one of their Gamba dinghies. SAMM member Nilam Wright provided a delicious curry for those who wanted a hot dish while other members cooked their own food on the BBQ’s provided. During the day Raquel Peña,
the President of AMMA (Association Mar Menor Alzheimers) was presented with a cheque for 1,255€ raised by the SAMM Charity race in held in June.

Brit father in suspicious Benidorm police custody death
A British father has died in Benidorm police custody 'covered in bruises', his partner has claimed. Antony Abbott, a 36-year-old supermarket worker and father from Bolton, died two hours after being arrested at Benidorm’s Hotel Palm Beach late last Thursday night. He was detained for rowdy behaviour after drinking. Despite the claims of Mr Abbott’s partner that his death is suspicious and he was covered in bruises, a Spanish police spokesman claimed that
Mr Abott had committed suicide. The spokesman did not provide any further details. Around two hours after Mr Abbott’s arrest, at 3am last Friday morning, police returned to the hotel to inform Catherine Corless, Mr Abbott’s partner, that he was dead. Miss Corless said that she witnessed heavy bruising on the deceased man’s head. “We are just devastated,” the 28-year-old Miss Corless said, adding that the police were not providing her and other family members who have flown out to Benidorm with any clear information on what happened after Mr Abbott’s arrest. “When I went to identify the body on Saturday, he had bruises all over his head.” Miss Corless, who remained at the hotel with the couple’s
two children when Mr Abbott was taken away, told The Bolton News that her partner “could be a bit of a show-off when he is drunk”. “I saw him being taken off. He turned to me and said ‘I’m sorry, I will see you soon. I love you’.” Miss Corless, who is reported to have returned to Bolton with her two children, said that she had been Mr Abbott’s partner for nine years and that they had enjoyed the “best holiday ever. We were making plans for Christmas. We were just so happy." A Foreign Office spokesman confirmed the death and said they were trying to establish what happened. “We are in contact with local authorities and are providing support to the family of a British national who died in Benidorm on 23rd October.” A crowdfunding page has been set up by Miss Corless’s employer, Parcel2Go, with the intention of raising £7,000 to help the widow with funeral costs and other expenses.

TIME TO BLOW THE WHISTLE ON THE BLAME GAME I worked with a guy once whose declared motto was; ‘the less you do, the less mistakes you make!’ Few would agree with such declaration, but surely the only thing worse than doing nothing to avoid mistakes, is blaming someone else for everything that is wrong? The blame game is totally out of hand in today’s society. It is now perceived as a sign of weakness for a man to put up his hands and admit, ‘I screwed up – I got it wrong.’ Galway hurlers had one hand on the Liam McCarthy cup at half time and Mayo footballers had ‘Sam’ within their grasp four times in the past two seasons, only to drop the baton in the home straight. In both codes it was players taking the wrong options and not standing up in the breach which resulted in defeat; but it is the managers who have to take the rap and exit the stage. Davy Fitz won a not too frequent AllIreland for Clare two years, but is currently being blamed by some followers for ‘destroying Clare hurling!’ Brendan Rogers came within one player’s slip of becoming a Liverpool legend, but instead he is now ‘not up to it’ as a manager when results on the pitch went against his team: Nothing
about the over-priced, over-payed players who didn’t perform? Fianna Fail, got the blame for screwing up Ireland and few would argue against that blame being well directed; but where were all the good guys shouting ‘stop’? This column wrote in 2007 that there could not be a soft landing. We said that the economy was so dependent on stamp duty and capital gains tax that we would all need to own eight houses in
ten years to sustain such level of living. If a lad who left school at fifteen could see that, where were all the smart guys who are shouting ‘blame’ now? The American gun lobby is an extreme case of shifting all blame away from guns used in daily killings – and often mass murders. A spokesman says that you will always have deranged lunatics and that easy access to guns has nothing to do with it.
That’s the same as blaming the typewriter for the rubbish you have to read here every week. Next time you are in a group just listen to the blame game at work; ‘Only for …. Only for the wife/husband did …only for the boss said … only for the neighbors … only for the government changed … only for the manager didn’t like me … only for 9/11 … only for … When I worked with a large staff for a few years, one of the things I told them at every staff meeting was that the best excuse in the world didn’t come close to blaming someone else because it wasn’t done. No, I never claimed to have all the answers and I too have been guilty of playing the blame game in my time. The man or woman generally saddled with the maximum blame is the one who isn’t present – or preferably dead. This malcontent has all to do with the refusal of everyone in the group to take any personal responsibility for anything except success. It feels better at the time to blame others than to admit any culpability for cock-ups. The blame game in extremity can lead to the loss of human life, such as in road rage confrontation. On the bigger stage, it has led to wars with
catastrophic casualties. And all of this stems from the starting position from both sides that if something has gone wrong, or is not as we would like it to be, then someone had to be identified and blamed for causing the problem. As soon as blame is cast onto the other fellow, the respect earned by that person to date diminishes. Galway hurling manager, Anthony Cunningham would be a prime example of this. Anthony has had very significant success both as a player and a manager; but as soon as he became a target of the blame game his record got lost in the conflict. Of course there are cases every day in which a person is clearly blameworthy and everybody accepts this point. But all the blame doesn’t always belong solely with the target of the blame game.
He who smiles in a crisis has found someone to blame.

Nurses to supply non-prescription drugs without doctor’s permission An amendment to the healthcare law means nurses are now allowed to supply and administer medication that does not require a prescription, creating greater legal security for staff and increased comfort for patients. ‘Permitted to prescribe where a prescription is not needed’ appears a contradiction in terms at first, but a number of Spanish nurses have clarified what the new law means for them, and for those they treat. An in-patient, or a patient waiting to be attended to in A&E who has a headache or other type of pain would normally have to wait until a doctor could be found to give permission and instruct the nurse what type of medication to administer or, if it was overnight and all doctors were asleep –
woken only in the event of emergencies – the patient would have to suffer the pain until morning. This could even go on for as long as 12 hours, since doctors on their rounds may not reach the patient until mid-morning, or possibly not even then if the patient is not on his or her list to examine that day. Likewise, ointment or even bandages for a wound, or any other type of what would typically be classed as ‘over-the-counter drugs’ could not be given to a patient in hospital unless a doctor was able to authorise it. Despite this, nurses study the same number of university credits in pharmacology as doctors during their degree and some nurses even have higher levels of academic qualifications in their
field than doctors – although it takes much less time to qualify as a nurse, many nurses go on to take master's degrees or even PhDs to specialise further, whilst many GPs or hospital consultants do not have a PhD, meaning in technical terms, although they are a 'doctor' by profession, they are not a 'doctor' by title. As a result, despite initial public concerns that nurses being allowed to supply medication would mean lesser-qualified individuals handing out drugs on doctors' behalf, the reality is that most nurses are already perfectly competent enough to do so and the law change is a mere formality. Some doctors even ask nurses' advice on the best drugs to give patients, since nurses are in constant contact with them whilst doctors only see them for a few minutes on
their rounds. Spanish nurses admit that they often do supply drugs, and even make decisions as to what to give patients – not just for pain relief, but even for deciding types and amounts of medication for stemming a haemorrhage.
Parametres However, just giving an aspirin for a headache in A&E can mean a nurse is struck off and fired for 'practising without licence', which is also a criminal offence leading to fines and even imprisonment. As one nurse explained, “we cannot dish out morphine, but we can give you a paracetamol for fever or a sore head.” It will also save time, as it means not having to confer or examine patients before
handing out drugs which, if the ill person was not in hospital, he or she would be able to buy from the pharmacy anyway. Healthcare professionals believe that if a patient attends a nurse's station at a local GP clinic instead of waiting for an appointment with a doctor, the nurses are likely to be given a list of drugs they can supply by prescription or from the in-house dispensary without having to consult a medic. As yet, they will not be able to issue repeat prescriptions for long-term or permanent medication – known as 'chronic prescriptions' – and only a patient's own doctor can renew one of these in full, although any GP or hospital medic can supply a one-off prescription for an individual box of pills or for a month's worth of drugs.

This week I was asked by a fellow Therapist in the States for my favourite tips in treating a furrowed brow. As I am often asked about how to get rid of lines and wrinkles all over the face and neck, but commonly on the forehead, by my Clients here in Spain I thought I would share with my answer with you. “[What are your] favourite tips for treating furrowed brow [Fiona]? Other than meditation of course!” Caitlin Lyon, California In Ayurveda are taken to indicate worries. I also see a 'weathering' in Clients around 40 and over in this area (one of the reasons I have a fringe most of the time!). Seasonally we are shifting into cooler weather so this Vata area can show a need for greater warmth, self-love and kindness. Here's what I recommend, in no particular order: (1) Massage forehead every day with hands and oil - personally I like to get a little firm first lifting brows away from bone, using firm small circles and scissoring with pads of fingers across forehead and down into temples. Importantly, work up to, and into, hairline as well as right under and into orbital socket - mainly because this feels really good and also as our bodies like to tuck tension in small crevices, pockets and
Rest on crown chakra, allow warmth to flow from soft, still hands. (2) Massage with crystals - glide crystals lightly outward and down for draining, this also feels so good! I love to use would use my black obsidian (which I sell at my Intuitive Skin Care Clinic, Playa Flamenca) which changes all darkness, worries etc. into light and will also help draw out repetitive thoughts. (3) Pay attention to internal dialogue, watching out for selfdepreciation, negative, harsh words. When you catch yourself thinking like this consciously forgive yourself and chose again. Drop shoulders down and breathe deeply through nose when doing this. (4) Make sure you completely relax your body in bed at night. Release
warm flannels - hydrate with water based serum - (always) ensure forehead is kept supple by nourishing with face oil (some of the best are carrot root/rose hip/sea buckthorn). My favourite face oil is Live Natives Beauty Serum (€70) which will not only contains all three of these oils and will plump out lines but smells divine, due to the Rose Otto (the best rose oil in the world). (6) Rub palms together vigorously until you feel warmth and energy - place over eyes (soothes Pitta and the "why did you do/not that?"). Repeat and place over ears (soothes Vata and the "why didn't I do/not do that?"). (7) In Oriental Diagnosis different types of lines on the forehead mean different things
depending on whether they are broken or unbroken, multiple or singular. Not all lines are considered negative, for example, a long unbroken line means good life force energy and good health. Where the lines are located is also key; spirit (top), ego (middle), earth (bottom). (8) Acupressure, Marma and reflex points also help us understand why the lines are presenting and also help us ease them. Liver, small and large intestines, kidney, bladder and spleen are all related to forehead, temples and scalp. (9) Micro-needling at home with super-charged antioxidants will give you an almost immediate improvement – and an improvement which will keep on getting better and better. Now is the perfect time to establish this practice in your weekly routine.

TV Pick The Secret Life of 4 Year Olds – Channel 4 – 9.00 pm Channel 4's highest-rated single documentary of the year, The Secret Life of 4 Year Olds, which lifted the lid on the riveting, uncensored drama of life in the nursery, returns for a series. Filmed over the summer, the series follows three groups of children from across the country, aged four, five and six years old, as they meet for the first time. In this first episode, the four-year-olds take their first steps towards independence, learning about friendships and social interaction with all the ups, downs and humour that entails. Forthright Tia adopts a leading role in the group and is not afraid to express her opinion and teach the others right from wrong. This can lead to some consternation in the playground, in particular with Jack. The youngest of three brothers, Jack struggles with his language, and his mischievous behaviour is firmly questioned by Tia. Meanwhile, Jack meets his match with Nathaniel, and their boisterous energy causes a clash.

TV Pick Kitchen Impossible with Michael Roux Jr – Channel 4 – 10.00pm Everyone dreams of the perfect job - but getting any job at all can seem impossible for some. Michelin-starred chef Michel Roux Jr has spent years working with organisations helping young people into work, and believes that talent can come from the most unusual places. But his latest eight trainees present a unique set of challenges - they all have disabilities, ranging from Tourette's to blindness and from Down's syndrome to autism. People with disabilities are nearly four times as likely to be out of work, but Michel is determined to show they aren't unemployable. In the second episode, the trainees are unleashed on the paying public, with Michel taking a step back and asking them to run a service for 30 paying customers.

Art competition uncovers local talent The seventh local Art Competition held at The Club Quesada, sponsored by Golden Leaves and Costa Blanca People proved a huge success. The judges Conchi Trives, Inmaculada Perez Trives and Godfrey Mayes along with many of the viewing public were impressed by the standard of work exhibited by local artists and six paintings were sold on the day. First places, across several categories, went to: Gail Coultate, Gloria Howes,

commendation certificates to Gail Willshire, Gloria Howes, Nicola Moran and Brit Nyland. The organisers would like to say thank you to the two sponsors and well done to everyone who took part, and those who helped on the day and special thank you to The Club owners and their staff for their help and continued support. More than €200 was raised for The Elche Children's Home and there will be two further events next year to continue the
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Dear Editor Readers may like to know if they have a keen interest in rock concerts, 10k runs and council organised coach trips to football matches the Urbanisation La Marina is for them. If however readers want to have their rubbish and recycling bins emptied, street lighting on at night, pavements repaired, weeds and over hanging trees over the pavements and roads, road safety bollards and speed bumps repaired/replaced, graffiti removed, exposed electricity cables put away, roads and pavements swept and cleaned then the Urbanisation La Marina is not for them. The level of public services has been in decline for years but it has dropped significantly recently, this despite the increase in SUMA bills. The urbanisation falls within the council of San Fulgencio and there is a marked difference in the
upkeep between the town of San Fulgencio and the urbanisation. The urbanisation provides more in SUMA funding and gets less in return. If like me residents of the urbanisation are frustrated with the lack of interest and effort from the council then I would ask that you make your concerns known by visiting the council offices. The more that make their opinion known the more likely it is that something will be done by the council. Len Allen Marina Sol Urb La Marina 03177 San Dear Editor The visitors to Casa Ventura bowls for the annual poppy appeal bowls match were the Emerald Isles who immediately put the Legion bowlers on the back foot by

Joanna Foad, Nicola Moran, Sharon Darnbrough, Maurice Hatfield with Gloria, Joanna and Nicola coming joint first. Ian Ross and Maurice Hatfield scooped the people's choice with 93 members of the public voting and the highest scores wining top spot. Eugenie heading the Golden Leaves expat service team along with her colleagues gave out
fundraising. A date in October is already being decided on for The Art Competition 2016 and there are already two entries for "Painting from a Blank Canvas" which will be held in March 2016.

The event was hosted by Simon Morton and Sunshine FM with live music performed by Dan Davy and Janelle Gaskell.

In a Previous fund raising event Diane Bracknell performed a parachute jump and raised €715 for Maria and the pink ladies on behalf of the AECC with the same amount donated to breast cancer awareness in the UK on behalf of her sister who was diagnosed with breast cancer.

Before the game started everyone entered in the spider which was won by lucky Carl Alard. A strong Legion side won on 4 rinks Emerald Isles on 2 but there was only one real winner on the day and that was the Poppy appeal. The collection box was full!

TV Pick Piers Morgan Life Stories – ITV – 10.00 pm Piers Morgan chats with the Hollywood sex symbol, most famous for her portrayal of the bikini-clad cave girl in the 1966 film One Million Years BC, as she reflects on her life and career. Raquel, who celebrated her 75th birthday this year, opens up about her tempestuous relationship with her father who once forced her head under a tap and made her cut her hair to stop her from looking too pretty. She looks back at her struggle to juggle her burgeoning career with life as a single mother of two young children and talks about her refusal to appear nude. Piers also probes Raquel about the men in her life, including fellow Hollywood icons Warren Beatty and Steve McQueen.

One in five Spaniards Annual property prices in most own a second home moderate drop since 2008 More than 20 percent of Spaniards own a second home, making the country fifth in Europe. Greeks have more second residences than Spaniards, with nearly a third of the population owning one, and Spain is also beaten in this respect by Poland and Turkey. By contrast, only 5.4 percent of Germans own a second residence. On average, one in six Europeans has more than one property, with Spain being above average at one in five. A third of Europeans uses their other home for holidays, about a quarter for weekends, and 9 percent as a 'bolt-hole' when they are working away from their main home. Rural areas, villages and small towns tend to be the most popular locations for a second or subsequent property – 44percent of Spanish second-home owners have a house in the country and 37.3percent in a village.
This type of property is more likely to be used for holidays (59.8 percent of cases) or weekends (35.3 percent of cases), with only 2.9 percent of Spain owning a second residence for work reasons. Age bears a direct relationship to the number of second homes owned, with those aged between 40 and 49 more likely to do so, followed by the 30 to 39 age-group where 15.1 percent have an additional residential property. Nearly one quarter – 23.6 percent - of Spanish city-dwellers were more likely to own a second residence, compared with those who already live in the country who account for 11.5 percent of those who do. Income also has a large influence – of those Spaniards earning more than €4,000 a month, 43.3 percent of them owned, or were keen to own, a second property.
While demand for property in Spain has been consistently rising, it is interesting to know that annual house prices are falling. However, they might not do for much longer, as September registered the smallest decline in annual property prices since 2008. Last month, average house prices in Spain were 0.4 percent less expensive than they were in September 2014. Each year since March 2008, when the annual drop registered 0.3 percent, the yearupon-year difference has been much greater. Prices on the Mediterranean coast were reduced the most, at -3.1 percent, but on the Islands (+0.7 percent) and other municipalities (+0.6 percent) they either remained the same or went up slightly. In Spain’s metropolitan areas, prices fell 0.6 percent and in the capital and big cities, they dropped by 0.4 percent. It is apparent that property prices are veering towards stabilization after years of continual decent. Since house prices reached their
maximum in 2008, some areas have seen them drop by as much as 49 percent. The worst-affected areas for the fall in the been has prices house Mediterranean coast (-48.9 percent), followed by Madrid and the large cities (45.1 percent) and metropolitan areas (44.4 percent). The least-affected areas have been the Balearic and Canary Islands (-31.6 percent) and the rest of municipalities (37.8 percent).
When looking at the annual variation between September 2014 and 2015, the rest of municipalities have seen the greatest drop in prices, at -3.9 percent. This is in comparison to the Mediterranean coast where they have gone up 1.2 percent over the course of the last 9 months. Madrid and other large cities have also experienced an increase in house prices but only by 0.2% percent.
EU wants banks to refund ‘floor clauses’ money The European Commission has issued a damaging report for Spanish banks that for many years introduced so-called “floor clauses” into their home loan contracts. These clauses, which not all banks include, set a “floor” or minimum interest rate that clients have to pay the bank, even if the benchmark rate – normally the Euribor – drops below that figure. Spain’s Supreme Court had found the practice abusive and sentenced three
banks to return the difference to borrowers, but only on payments made since May 2013. But the European executive disagrees with this date, and says that the refunds should extend all the way back to the first mortgage payments. The rationale is that if a clause is declared void, “it is so from its origin.” The three lenders involved in the case are BBVA, Cajamar and Abanca, but the industry is afraid that it will end up
affecting all banks. Ever since the Supreme Court ruling came out in May 2013, thousands of borrowers have turned to the courts to demand a refund of the money they were forced to pay above the Euribor rate. Until now, most courts have ruled in favor of the homeowners, but never in a retroactive manner. The matter is of great significance to the banking sector because there are 2.5 million mortgages with floor clauses in
Spain. If refunds were to be mandated retrospectively, it would mean billions of euros in payments. The European Commission has sent its report to the Court of Justice of the European Union, which is overseeing a related case involving CajaSur, a subsidiary of Kutxabank. Its final decision will hold the key to what happens next. But legal sources in financial circles said that the issue was already affecting the banking sector’s reputation.
“If the Commission says all the money has to be returned, sooner or later I’m afraid that we will be refunding all the money charged through floor clauses,” said one source. Other legal sources added that the Brussels report could influence the outcome of a class action suit filed by an association representing 15,000 people with floor clauses. The case began in 2010 and a decision is expected shortly.

Dave from La Mata asks: Hi Aunty. I have a PC tower with windows 7 and I have just returned to the sun after a 2 year break. I am being pestered to sign up for the free Windows 10 upgrade and I'm tempted because of the magic word, FREE! What sort of problems can I expect, or am I better off staying with Windows 7? Hope you can help. Aunty Says: Hello Dave. It is totally free if you have a genuine install of Win7 or 8 and so far I have heard nothing but praise for Win10, admittedly most of this has come from Win8 users where quite frankly anything is going to be an improvement. As a straightforward Win7 user I would recommend the “If it aint broke,
don’t fix it” policy but if however you do fancy a bit of a nail-biting rollercoaster ride then the upgrade takes upwards of 30 minutes. If you have any old programs/apps then you may find they need reinstalling and make sure you have a backuo of any photos or documents just in case. George via email asks: Hello Aunty, I am beat with a silly problem. I have a laptop working from Windows 7 and I am beat as to how to add further new contacts to my address list, I take my supply from Gmail. My other system was straightforward and adding a new contact was step by step and easy for me. Can you take me one stage at a time? Aunty Says: Hi George. I am assuming that you are using an email app (such as Windows Live Mail or Outlook) and have your Gmail account setup to send and receive? If you are then you are right to be baffled as Microsoft have for some bizarre reason removed the old & simple “add contacts” button that was in XP. If you are using Windows Live Mail then open the email you have received and you should see an “add contact” link next to the senders email address. If you are using Outlook then right click on
www.costablancapeople.com
the senders address and choose “Add to Contacts. Let me know if this solves your problem. Louise via email asks: Dear Aunty, You have been kind enough to help me in the past and I am now having so much trouble with my laptop because randomly and at no particular time it will simply shut down and I have to restart it again with the on/off button. Can you help me in any way to solve the problem? Keep up the great work. Aunty Says: Normally Louise when a computer consistently shuts down it is caused by overheating, and this generally gets worse as it heats up. Blowing any fluff from the air vents underneath and around the sides, and also propping the laptop up slightly so cool air can flow underneath will often improve things. As your problem is random and I guess happens regardless of how long you have been using it then maybe check you don’t have a loose connection where the power charger is plugged in. Keep me posted. Well that’s all for this week, email me your problems to auntyvirus@costablancapeople.co m and I will see what I can do.

Hydro phone charging Murcia has become the first European city to offer water-powered mobile phone charging in the street. One charging point is already in operation and now the residents can choose from another four charging locations. The Plaza Cetina is the location of the first charging post and that opened last Monday and has been established by the Smart Murcia initiative and using it to charge your phone is free. José Guillén, Murcia councillor for
Modernising the Administration, said: “It is a free access mechanism of the latest generation, which offers charging mobile phone and tablet batteries using the energy of water, making the most of a local and free energy source, 100 percent clean and renewable.” The Smart Murcia street charger uses the pressure in the drinking water system to generate electricity by a small turbine and then power generated is stored in batteries. ‘The energy
generated can charge nine mobile phones, and in forthcoming days, the network of the free municipal wi-fi service is to be expanded’, said Murcia Development councillor, Roque Ortiz. Councillor Guillen added that ‘the choice of the four new locations, will be an open process and decided by the public via the Murcia City Hall web portal and the energy website www.energiamurcia.es’.
No turning the clock back for Mallorca The Spanish Island of Mallorca is campaigning to be exempt from turning the clocks back every winter, claiming it harms the island's tourism industry. The Balearic Islands as a whole want to stay on Central European Summer Time (CEST) year-round, although Mallorca is most vocal about the matter, saying the fact it gets dark earlier from late October onwards makes the archipelago less attractive to holidaymakers. Regional authorities recall that the sun comes up in the Balearics first, before the rest of Spain, and sets latest in the country – and that the difference in either direction between the islands and the north-western mainland region of Galicia is nearly an hour apart. In fact, Galicia, which is directly due north of Portugal, has been campaigning for some time to go back an hour to place it on the same time lag as the latter country, and as the Canary Islands, Morocco, the UK and Ireland. Galicia residents say they spend more on electricity than the rest of Spain because of getting nearly two hours' less daylight per day than the Balearics. And the Balearics say they use too much electricity because of having to turn the clocks back in the winter – last week, residents were travelling home from work in daylight, but now, they do so in the dark, and yet even before the clocks move in winter, their morning commute is still in daylight whilst those in Galicia go to work in the dark. In reality, the whole of Spain, except for the Canaries, is in the wrong time zone – the Greenwich Meridian Line runs
through the easternmost point of the mainland close to the coast of the province of Alicante between the villages of Pego and El Verger, near the Valencia province border to the north, meaning the country should be on GMT in winter and BST (British Summer Time) in summer – an hour behind its actual time. Dictator General Franco, an ally of Hitler during the Second World War, moved the clocks forward one hour to align Spanish time with that of Berlin, and they were never changed after the War finished 70 years ago. This goes some way to explaining why everything in Spain happens later than in the rest of Europe – lunch is between 2.00pm and 4.00pm, evening meals are between approximately 8.00pm and 10.00pm, school finishes at 5.00pm for primary pupils, office hours between 8.00pm and 8.30pm, and prime-time TV shows often start at 11.00pm meaning bedtime is rarely before 1.00am. And the midday sun is in fact the 1.00pm sun, which moves to 2.00pm in summer with the hour change. Debate The debate about whether or not to switch Spain onto its geographicallycorrect time zone has been ongoing for several years now, in a bid to awaken the country from its permanent jet-lag and enable the body clocks of its population and working hours to coincide. However this would mean that in summer it would be dark before 8.00pm, which would not be ideal for beach tourism, one of Spain's largest and most
Seven swing for SATS The quest for SATS new kennels will continue on Saturday 7th November at Restaurante Los Rosales, Guardamar, when the charity will be raising much needed funds at The Troupers Swing Show. The 7-piece Spanish band is the only one of its kind in Spain and with more than 300 concerts under its belt has made a name for itself as a swing band to be reckoned with. All the classic 30’s and 40’s hits are performed as one would expect, but this band, which took the Quesada Fiesta by storm, also throws in modern tunes and some Rock n Roll hits for good measure. Usually found at Jazz festivals and large fiestas all over Spain this is the bands first visit to Los Rosales. It has an infectious beat to its music, which is perfect for anything from Rock n Roll to the lindy hop. The band members are certainly hands on and don’t mind getting into the audience to show their skill with the trumpet, trombone, saxophone, and guitar….they do leave the drums and double bass on stage though. Members of the SATS fundraising team
have raised nearly 1,000 euros at previous LR shows and hope that this event will swing them nearer to their dream of building purpose designed kennels to house the ever increasing stray population. Tickets are 14 euros, which includes a two-course meal and are on sale at Restaurante Los Rosales, Guardamar, Cards n More La Marina, The Card Place Benimar, Hire Centre San Luis, the Post Box Doña Pepa and by calling 697501992 or www.lrshows.com (lowercase letter ‘L’ not a capital ‘I’) doors open at 7.30.
lucrative industries. If the mainland did decide to go back an hour in time, it is likely the Balearics would fight to stay in its existing time zone, given that they are an equal distance from mainland Spain as from Italy and directly due south of France's south-east coast.

Cancer myths uncovered Myth: Cancer is a man-made, modern disease Cancer may well be more prominent in the public consciousness now than in times gone by, but cancer isn’t a ‘modern’, man-made disease of Western society. Cancer has existed as long as humans have. It was described thousands of years ago by Egyptian and Greek physicians, and researchers have discovered tell-tale signs of cancer in a 3,000-year-old skeleton. While it is certainly true that global lifestyle-related diseases like cancer are on the rise, the biggest risk factor for cancer is old age. The simple fact is that more people
are living long enough to develop cancer because of our success in tackling infectious diseases and other historical causes of death such as malnutrition. It is perfectly normal for
DNA damage in our cells to build up as we age, and such damage can lead to cancer developing. We are also now able to diagnose cancers more accurately, thanks to advances in screening, imaging and pathology, making us more aware of the disease. Lifestyle, diet and other things, such as air pollution collectively have a huge impact on our risk of cancer – smoking for instance is behind a quarter of all cancer deaths in the UK – but that is not the same as saying it is entirely a modern, man-made disease. In fact one in six worldwide cancers is caused by viruses and bacteria.
Myth: Superfoods prevent cancer Blueberries, beetroot, broccoli, garlic, green tea… the list goes on. Despite thousands of websites claiming
otherwise, there’s no such thing as a ‘superfood’. It is a marketing term used to sell products and has no scientific basis. That is not to say you shouldn’t think about what you eat. Some foods are clearly healthier than others. The odd blueberry or mug of green tea certainly could be part of a healthy, balanced diet. Stocking up on fruits and veg is a great idea, and eating a range of different veg is helpful too, but the specific vegetables you choose doesn’t really matter. Our bodies are complex and cancer is too, so It is a huge oversimplification to say that any one food, on its own, could have a major influence over your chance of developing cancer. The steady accumulation of evidence over several decades points to a simple, but not very newsworthy fact that the best way to reduce your risk of cancer is by a series of long-term life changes and introducing healthy behaviours such as not smoking, keeping active, keeping a healthy body weight and cutting back on alcohol. Myth: ‘Acidic’ diets cause cancer Some myths about cancer are surprisingly persistent, despite flying in the face of basic biology. One such idea is that overly ‘acidic’ diets cause your blood to become ‘too acidic’, which can increase your risk of cancer. Their proposed answer to this risk is to increase your intake of healthier ‘alkaline’ foods like green vegetables
and fruits (including, paradoxically, lemons). However, this is biological nonsense. True, cancer cells cannot live in an overly alkaline environment, but neither can any of the other cells in your body. Blood is usually slightly alkaline. This is tightly regulated by the kidneys within a very narrow and perfectly healthy range. It can’t be changed for any meaningful amount of time by what you eat, and any extra acid or alkali is simply peed out in urine. To maintain the correct balance within the body, your urine can and does change pH, depending on what you have eaten. But that is all you’re changing, and anyone who claims otherwise simply does not understand how the body works. While eating lots of green veg is certainly healthy, that is not because of any effect on how acid or alkaline your body is. We know that the immediate environment around cancer cells (the microenvironment) can become acidic. This is due to differences in the way that tumours create energy and use oxygen compared with healthy tissue. Researchers are working hard to understand how this happens, in order to develop more effective cancer treatments.
But there’s no good evidence to prove that diet can manipulate whole body pH, or that it has an impact on cancer.
same boring healthy eating advice still holds true. Fruit, vegetables, fibre, white meat and fish are good. Too much fat, salt, sugar, red or processed meat and alcohol are less so.
Myth: Cancer has a sweet tooth Another idea we hear a lot is that sugar apparently ‘feeds cancer cells’, suggesting that it should be
Myth: Cancer treatment kills more than it cures Let’s be clear, cancer treatment –
completely banished from a patient’s diet. This is an unhelpful oversimplification of a highly complex area that we’re only just starting to understand. ‘Sugar’ is a catch-all term. It refers to a range of molecules including simple sugars found in plants, glucose and fructose. The white stuff in the bowl on your table is called sucrose and is made from glucose and fructose stuck together. All sugars are carbohydrates, commonly known as carbs – molecules made from carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. Carbs – whether from cake or a carrot – get broken down in our digestive system to release glucose and fructose. These get absorbed into the bloodstream to provide energy for us to live. All our cells, cancerous or not, use glucose for energy. Because cancer cells are usually growing very fast compared with healthy cells, they have a particularly high demand for this fuel. There is also evidence that they use glucose and produce energy in a different way from healthy cells. Researchers are working to understand the differences in energy usage in cancers compared with healthy cells, and trying to exploit them to develop better treatments (including the interesting but far from proven drug DCA). But all this does not mean that sugar from cakes, sweets and other sugary foods specifically feeds cancer cells, as opposed to any other type of carbohydrate. While it is very sensible to limit sugary foods as part of an overall healthy diet and to avoid putting on weight, that’s a far cry from saying that sugary foods specifically feed cancer cells. Both the ‘acidic diet’ and ‘sugar feeds cancer’ myths distort sensible dietary advice – of course, nobody is saying that eating a healthy diet does not matter when it comes to cancer. You can read about the scientific evidence on diet and cancer on our website. But dietary advice must be based on nutritional and scientific fact. When it comes to offering diet tips to reduce cancer risk, research shows that the
whether chemotherapy, radiotherapy or surgery – is no walk in the park. The side effects can be tough. After all, treatments that are designed to kill cancer cells will inevitably affect healthy cells too. And sometimes, sadly, treatment doesn’t work. We know that it’s very difficult to treat late-stage cancer that has spread throughout the body, and while treatment can provide relief from symptoms and prolong life, it’s not going to be a cure for very advanced cancers. Surgery is still the most effective treatment we have for cancer, provided that it is diagnosed early enough for an operation to be done. And radiotherapy helps cure more people than cancer drugs. Yet chemotherapy and other cancer drugs have a very important part to play in cancer treatment – in some cases helping to cure the disease, and in others helping to prolong survival. The claims on the internet that chemotherapy is “only 3 per cent effective” are highly misleading and outdated. It important to point out that in an increasing number of cases, the drugs do work. For example, more than 96 percent of all men are now cured of testicular cancer, compared to fewer than 70 percent in the 1970s thanks in part to a drug we helped to develop called cisplatin. And three-quarters of children with cancer are now cured, compared with around a quarter in the late 1960s – most of them are alive today directly thanks to chemotherapy. Of course, we know that we still have a long way to go until we have effective, kinder treatments for all types of cancer. And it’s important that doctors, patients and their families are realistic and honest about the best options for treatment, especially when the disease is very advanced. It may be better to opt for treatment aimed at reducing pain and symptoms rather than attempting to cure the disease (palliative care). Balancing quality and quantity of life is always going to be an issue in cancer treatment, and it’s one that each patient must decide for themselves.

With five weeks to go, the Kayak Challenge is surprising everyone When Dave Bull decided that he and his son Mitch would row 52 kilometres along the River Segura to raise money for AECC after a close relative was diagnosed with cancer, he must have wondered if they were taking on too much. Mitch certainly did – when they first cycled along the stretch of the River Segura between Murcia City and Guardamar to check out the terrain, he shook his head in disbelief. Now, just 8 weeks on, and 5 weeks away from the Kayak Challenge on Saturday 28th November, everyone is surprised at progress – especially Dave and Mitch, because the guys are amazed how far their training has progressed in just 8 short weeks. It takes a lot of stamina to row 52 kilometers – which is about 32
miles in ‘old money’ - and it needs special training to do it. Their training with a personal trainer is paying off though, because Dave and Mitch have each gained 5 kilos of muscle, which will help build their core strength for the 8 hour row. Back in late August, their trainer Bea told the guys she expected them to be able to run 10 kilometers in 40 minutes before they stepped into the kayaks. Just 8 weeks into training, they’ve already hit that target, so they’re raring to go. At the end of October, they’ll row from Santa Pola to Tabarca Island and back – a round trip of 11.4 kilometres. That should highlight any problems that need working on before the big day.
Money is already pouring in, with €1,400 already donated or pledged, plus a further €600 provided to pay for essential equipment. Dave and Mitch have a target of €5,000 in mind, and with a donations page set up on the Pinkladies.es website, money continues to pour in for this great cause. There will also be collections en route on the day, and there are various fund raising initiatives planned, including a big party and auction at La Piedra Bar and Grill, Gran Alacant on 28th November after the challenge. For the latest news on the Kayak Challenge, or to offer your support, check out the Rowing For Cancer Facebook Page.

and include brands you will know. Prices are fantastic and range from 1 euro tshirts to 25 euros for a complete outfit with lovely evening wear just in time for your festive cruise or getaway to Benidorm. All clothes are for sale on the night cash only - and can be tried-on at the venue. Men are welcome too as we do have some items for the gents. The show starts at 7.00pm but the venue will be open from 6.30pm with clothes on sale from that time. After the show all clothes modelled can be purchased too. There will be a hot meal available after the show at 8.30pm. There is a choice of three menus: chicken tikka
masala, pork steak or vegetarian lasagne. The bar will be open throughout. Tickets are on sale from now for 12 euros to include the meal. If you do not want to eat then show only tickets are available at just 5 euros. Tickets can be obtained by calling or emailing Jan on 666804147 or emailing: janincatral@gmail.com or Lynne on 650575602 or email: lynncats@yahoo.co.uk Show only tickets can also be purchased at the venue on the night. Thanks go out in advance to all our willing volunteers who help to put on the show and also to those kind enough to donate such lovely clothes.

Cheap travel Spanish budget air travel leaps in 2015 with more than 28.1 million people flying into Spain on budget airlines through the month of September - a figure that is only a just less than half of all arrivals. Budget airlines are taking off big time, with 8.7 percent more passengers travelling to Spanish skies by low-cost carriers in 2015, government figures reveal. Madrid’s Barajas airport saw a 35.3 percent increase, with 3.2 million more travelling to the Spanish capital. Barcelona El Prat has attracted 7.1 million, up 13.3 percent.

Spain in Top 10 for ‘ultrarich’ people SPAIN is among 20 countries with over 1,000 people in the ‘ultra-rich’ bracket. New international census figures reveal there are 1,390 Spaniards with more than €43 million to their name. This puts Spain ninth worldwide, with the USA topping the list of the super rich.
Jobless below fivemillion mark for first time in five years For the first time in four years, Spain’s unemployment rate has dropped below the five-million mark, with the good news also accompanied by a rise in the number of jobs in the economy. Some 4.85 million people still remain without work across Spain, but the ranks of the jobless have fallen by 289,000 from five million in 2011, according to the latest Active Population Survey (EPA), conducted by the government’s National Statistics Institute (INE). Spain’s official unemployment rate is now at 21.18 percent of the active population – 1.2 percentage points down on the second quarter of 2015. The latest data has been released two months before the general elections, in which Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy’s ruling Popular Party (PP) is expected to face a tough battle to retain a majority of seats in Congress. With the help of labour reforms and other economic measures, Rajoy’s government created 182,200 more jobs during the third quarter, according to the INE. The rise in job figures, however, is partly due to temporary summer employment across the nation. The hike in tourism this past year helped create 205,500 temporary jobs from July to September. In the regions, more people went to work in Catalonia (35,800) and the Balearic Islands (29,600) this past summer. In Galicia, 29,100 more people also found jobs. Jobless figures in all the regions, except for Extremadura, dropped during the third quarter, the INE reported.

Spaniard is now world’s richest man Spanish clothing magnate Amancio Ortega has been named as the richest man in the world by Forbes after the magazine updated its rankings to take into account the latest rise in the stock market value of his Inditex group. Shares for Inditex, which encompasses global fashion brands such as Zara, Massimo Dutti, Bershka, Oysho, Pull and Bear and Stradivarius, reached an all-
time high last week, taking the fortune of its founder above the €70-billion mark for the first time. Forbes re-valued Ortega’s wealth at $79.6 billion – around €71.7 billion at the current exchange rate. The figure moves him above Microsoft founder Bill Gates, whose fortune rose to $78.1 billion on the same morning. Pinning a value on a fortune such as
Ortega’s is no easy task, especially when it not only consists of company shares, but also property, other business dealings and investments. This in part explains why the Galician businessman has not yet reached the top of the Bloomberg rich list. In Ortega’s case, his 59.294 percent stake in Inditex alone is valued at €62.3 billion at the group’s current share price
of €33.70. The value of Inditex stock has multiplied in the last few years, with chairman Pablo Isla recently recognized as the third-most successful executive in the world by the Harvard Business Review. Ortega started out manufacturing women’s dressing gowns in A Coruña over half-a-century ago, opening his first Zara store in the Galician city in
1975 before branching out across Spain. He founded Inditex as the clothing group’s holding firm in 1985 and opened his first international store, in Porto, in 1988, quickly expanding to New York (1989) and Paris (1990). Today, Inditex comprises eight main brands and boasts over 6,700 stores in 88 countries, employing over 140,000 people.

Big band music has always been very popular since the age of Glen Miller, but now there is a “not so new kid on the block” that is sweeping the country. With its infectious get up and dance beat, the Swing era is alive and kicking and living on the Costa Blanca. Back in the 1920’s and 30’s the big bands took over pop culture. Swing music was based on jazz but with a smoother beat and less complicated harmonies than Jazz music. Swing has affected every genre of music from the time it was created. Not since Benny Goodman,

Duke Ellington, Artie Shaw and Tommy Dorsey has swing been so popular. The exciting sound has evolved and created such classic dances as the Lindy Hop. Lindy hop developed from the dance crazes of the time such as the Charleston and foxtrot, but is far more upbeat. This fast and intricate dance soon evolved into the jitterbug, boogie woogie, jive and rock n roll. This Saturday one of the most exciting Swing bands in the country, The Troupers Swing Band will be bringing all that excitement
and talent to Restaurante Los Rosales in Guardamar. Comprising of drums, double bass, guitar, trumpet, trombone, saxophone and vocalist, the 7 piece band are the true meaning of live music. With not a backing track in sight, the Spanish band members have been regularly touring the country from Madrid to Murcia. The band have played more than 300 concerts nationwide and now have a huge following of enthusiastic fans of all nationalities. Their dedication to the power of their music is evident by the huge crowds
they pull at every event from massive fiestas to Jazz festivals. They encompass not only the classic swing numbers of the 30’s and 40’s but breath a fresh breath of air into the pulp fiction theme, Rock This Town and many others. The Troupers are no old fashioned band to merely sit and listen to. The influence of the likes of The Brian Setzer Orchestra, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy and others like them are evident in the powerfully upbeat way that swing is played. Finally, we have a genre of music
that is available to anyone and everyone who loves sensational music. A godsend for those who love dancing - Jivers, rock n rollers, or anyone who has dance in their soul will find the music irresistible. .

Argentinian court orders Top Gear case to be reopened Prosecutors are seeking a threeyear jail sentence for former Top Gear host Jeremy Clarkson for alleged illegal switching of car number plates. The presenter and Top Gear programme chiefs could reportedly face a prison sentence of up to three years if found guilty of “falsification”, after a court in Argentina ordered that an investigation into the claims should be reactivated. Clarkson and his fellow former Top Gear hosts James May and Richard Hammond were accused of trying to provoke a reaction by driving through Argentina last year with the number plate H892 FKL, which some suggested was a reference to the Falklands War. The controversial registration plate was swapped for one reading H1 VAE as unrest among locals grew. Changing plates is an offence in Argentina that can lead to a conviction for falsification. The BBC insists the H982 FKL number plate on the Porsche was just an “unfortunate coincidence” and Maria Cristina Barrionuevo, a federal judge in the city of Ushuaia, decided against launching an official investigation against Clarkson and the Top Gear team. However, an appeals court in Argentina has ordered a judge to reopen a criminal

investigation into Jeremy Clarkson’s infamous drive through the country. Clarkson, who later left the BBC show after punching a producer, sparked anger in October last year when he drove through Argentina on a 1,400mile road trip for a Christmas special in a red Porsche with the controversial number plate. The specific charge by prosecutor Daniel Curtale against Clarkson is of “falsifying, altering or suppressing the number of a legally registered object”, because he switched the offending plates. The Top Gear team ended up having to cut short filming and flee the country with a police escort after being told to leave by angry locals who stormed their five-star hotel in Ushuaia and threatened to kill Clarkson. The presenter and his co-hosts flew to Buenos Aires before returning to Britain. The court’s decision raises the prospect of Clarkson, as well as former co-hosts Richard Hammond and James May, being summoned to give evidence in the city they fled. It would take years for the case to reach this stage. Argentina would have to first request Clarkson and his former crew members be extradited before they could be brought before the court in Ushuaia, a
lengthy judicial and political process that would involve Argentina’s foreign ministry sending the extradition requests to Britain and alerting Interpol for their arrest. Maximum sentence In the reopening of the case, the prosecutor is asking for the maximum three-year sentence based on article 289 of the Argentinian penal code, which recommend custodial sentences of between six months and three years for switching number plates on a car. Former Top Gear executive producer Andy Wilman admitted in a blog that they had removed the offending plate and put up the H1 VAE plate to quell growing unrest shortly after his return to Britain. The BBC has consistently denied suggestions the Porsche was bought for its number plate, or the plate was changed after it was purchased. The BBC decided not to renew Clarkson’s contract after he attacked Top Gear producer Oison Tymon in March at a North Yorkshire hotel. Hammond and May subsequently announced they would not return to the programme. The trio are now working on their new Amazon Prime show

PREPARING YOUR CAR FOR WINTER Winter weather in Spain can vary from year to year and snowfall on the south coast is unlikely. However, if your car is parked outside during the worst of the winter months, or you’re planning to visit the interior or venture north, there are some simple steps you can take to prepare your car for winter. PROTECTING AGAINST ICE AND FROST Lights, heaters and wipers put high demands on the car battery and they have to work harder in colder weather. If your battery is over 5 years old it may be time to shop around for a replacement. Top up your windscreen wash with a more concentrated mix of antifreeze. Give locks and mechanisms a spray with WD40. Cleaning and waxing your car will give the bodywork a coat of protection against temperature extremes. BEING PREPARED Make sure you have a phone charger in the car should you need to call for assistance. In the event you get stranded, there are some items that will make a difference; carry some blankets, a folding shovel, jump leads, tow-bar and tow rope. If colder weather is forecast, make sure you have a full tank of fuel, as you may need to keep the engine running to
stay warm until help arrives. Check your insurance policy covers you for emergency breakdown and recovery. Línea Directa provides for Road Assistance in their car insurance policies. This ensures that you receive immediate assistance by phone 24 hours a day. Our breakdown service will endeavour to get your car back on the road as soon as possible or
tow your vehicle to your local repairer of choice in Spain. ROAD SAFETY During the winter, driving conditions can become challenging. Winter tyres or cold weather tyres mean shorter stopping distances, reduce aquaplaning and improve handling. If you haven’t changed to winter treads, road safety experts recommend 3mm of tyre depth as a
minimum for winter driving. WINTER DRIVING Breakdowns are more common in winter. The number of breakdowns can increase dramatically during extreme conditions. For safe troublefree driving we recommend gentle manoeuvres, as stopping distances are ten times longer in snow and ice. To avoid wheel spin, pull away in second gear, easing your foot gently off the clutch. Maintain a constant speed where possible, if you need to break, then apply them gently and progressively. Leave plenty of room between you and the car in front. If you get stuck, straighten the steering and clear any excess build up of snow from the wheels. You can get additional grip by putting a sack or old rug in front of the driving wheels. Once your car is moving, maintain a constant speed, avoiding rapid acceleration or deceleration and try not to stop until you reach firmer ground. We hope the information provided in this article is of interest. If you would like to contact Línea Directa please call 902-123-566 More information on Línea Directa online at www.lineadirecta.com

Processed meat in cancer link Processed meat being classified by the World Health Organisation (WHO) in the same category of cancer-causing substances as cigarettes has caused a stir among manufacturers throughout Europe – and highlighted the fact that according to the figures, people in Spain eat too much of it. A total of 80,979 people work in the meat industry in Spain, which has an annual turnover of nearly €22.2 billion. This accounts for more than 21.6 percent of the country's food-producing sector and 2 percet of its Gross Domestic Product (GDP). The WHO has placed hamburgers, sausages – including hot dogs – and bacon in the top group for cancer risk, along with smoking, saying it is a prime cause of colon or bowel cancer. This is the most frequent form of tumour seen in Spain, ahead of lung and breast cancer, and responsible for the second-highest number of cancer deaths in the country. The WHO has placed red meat in general in the second group, which is not as high-risk as burgers and sausages.
Spain as a whole has an 'acceptable' level of red meat consumption, according to WHO figures, at 485.7 grams a week – below the recommended maximum of 500 grams. However, residents overdo the processed meat, eating 314 grams a week when the WHO recommends 'little or none'. And when including poultry, people in Spain typically eat 1,147 grams of meat a week – over a kilo, or nearly two-and-a-half pounds. The average Spaniard eats 164 grams of meat a day, of which 70 grams is red meat such as beef, with 45 grams being processed meat – enough, says the WHO, to explain why colon cancer is the most common form of the disease seen in Spain. Whilst European meat producers complain that the WHO's announcement is 'inappropriate' and that the incidence of cancer depends upon 'age, genetics, diet, environment and lifestyle' rather than 'one specific
type of food', spokesman for the Spanish Medical Oncology Society Dr Fernando Rivera says the reports are 'alarmist' and
'crucify certain foodstuffs' when in reality 'what is important is a balanced diet'. “The study is only a guideline, and is very closely-linked to excessive consumption of processed meat – but the influence of these food items on colon and bowel cancer is not as high as, say, smoking, which multiplies lung cancer risk by 30,” Dr Rivera stresses. Meat producers in Spain say that in less than 25 years, when it did not sell any of
its wares abroad, it has become the main food industry exporter in the country and a 'leader' worldwide. Spain exported 1.17 million tonnes of meat last year, valued at nearly €4.5bn, with two-thirds of its foreign sales going to other European Union countries. The WHO has recommended no more than half a kilo of red meat per week, 'little or no' bacon, ham, sausages or other non-fresh meat, and not to eat meat at all more than twice a week. Diet change Although Dr Rivera says there is nothing wrong with moderate meat consumption within a balanced diet, he points out that the rise in colon cancer cases in Spain, Greece and Italy in the last few years has been 'significant' because of 'a progressive abandoning of the Mediterranean diet'. Spain is 18th in the world for bowel and colon cancer, with just under 44 cases per 100,000 male inhabitants and
just over 24 per 100,000 female inhabitants. The worst record is seen in the Republic of Korea, and ahead of Spain are Slovakia, Hungary, Denmark, The Netherlands, the Czech Republic, Norway, Australia, Slovenia, New Zealand, Belgium, Israel, Canada, Ireland, Italy, Croatia, and Singapore at number 17. Serbia at 19, followed by Japan, make up the top 20. Spain's health service carries out automatic colon cancer screening for everyone aged from 50 to 69 – in some cases from 45 to 70 – contacting every individual registered on the census within that age group with instructions. The screening is totally painless and non-invasive, and just involves discreetly handing in a stool sample in a supplied container to a local health centre at the tested person's convenience. Only if blood or other abnormalities are detected will the person be called for a colonoscopy, which can be carried out under sedation upon request.

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.

Greenlands Golf and Bowls
Greenlands Golf and Bowls near Los Montesinos has been a name that golfers and bowlers have known for a number of years on the Costa Blanca. Whilst the bowls club has thrived and grown in the last few years the golf has unfortunately moved backwards. However the golf is now moving forwards. On the 1st of May this year PGA Advanced Golf Professional Adrian Rudge took over the running of the golf operations at Greenlands. With 30 years experience in golf, and nearly 10 years of those at Greenlands Adrian knows what his current and new clients expect when they visit a golf club. Due to his experience and knowledge Adrian has already made a great impression at the club having made many changes, through a large amount of investment financially and with time. The 9 hole golf course had been neglected for many years when he took over. Because of this the whole course has undergone a programme of reseeding over the past few months and it is now coming back to its best. This course is now truly a challenge for golfers of all abilities and deserves its name of “Greenlands” The driving range has also taken on a new look with new targets, including artificial greens and nets and the best quality Srixon golf balls for you to practice with. To complete the range is Adrian’s completely private coaching room where he delivers his expert golf tuition.
At the Greenlands Game Improvement Centre Adrian will tailor his coaching to each individual golfers needs using his simple approach to learning and with the latest in high speed camera and swing software technology. Greenlands Bowls Greenlands bowls club is an 8 rink bowling green built to the international bowling standards. Over the years we as a club have welcomed the English Commonwealth Team, hosted a test match with Spain playing against Portugal as well as being host to the Spanish Nationals and Valencian Championships. Greenlands is a friendly club and would like to extend a warm welcome to anyone who bowls to join in the Saturday Roll Up which starts at 9.30. If you fancy trying a new sport tuition can be arranged by either calling Hayley on 966 844 399 or by calling in to see us at the onsite bar. At our onsite bar Hayley will look after you with a selection of tasty snacks, including various sumptuous sandwiches and a lovely English breakfast. A well stocked bar with a selection of soft and alcoholic drinks will quench your thirst. If you want to play or practice your golf and bowls in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere then Greenlands is the place to visit. We look forward to seeing you soon.

ROCKETS’S GOLF SOCIETY Monforte del Cid was our destination and the well looked after course Alenda which has had some more TLC added a few bunkers and an enlarged 9th green, plus strategically extended buggy paths like on the 12th. But what a month October has been, we set out with the threat of lluvia (rain) but blue skies and glorious sunshine perfect for golf, was the order of the day. The sun does shine on the righteous. It was a Medal competition, yes that dreaded word, but the weather was obviously the reason for some good scores, along with the good condition Alenda is in, but the nets near the 2nd Tee leaves a large question as it partly blocks the view of the fairway.(unless you can draw the ball). Worth a mention is Rocket Ron who seems to like Alenda and if my memory serves me right, he did well virtually twelve months to the day at Alenda, that time he scored 41 points. Must be the air at Monforte del Cid. One other thing there is a multitude (well three) of Ron’s in the winner’s circle!

Las Ramblas Golf Society The highlight of our first game of the week on Monday was a hole in one on the difficult Par 3 tenth hole by Dave Pulling. Many congratulations Dave and thanks from all members who enjoyed a drink at the 19th! Alas this achievement was not enough to secure victory for his team as it was Bryan Neal, Tom Hardie, Brian Dent and Ulrike Barth who scored a very good 100 pts to win the game which was a Best 2 from 4 with all scores counting on the Par 3's. Bryan Neal top scoring with 39 pts.
On Wednesday we played for our Memorial Trophy when we remember players and partners who are no longer with us. The form of the competition was a 2 ball better ball. The result will not be announced until our Presentation Lunch in mid November however the 2's Club was in operation and there were only two winners with Benedicte Kruse and Lindsay Forbes sharing the pot. On Friday it was the semi-final of our Pairs Match Play Knockout competition. Maria Oldenziel and Lindsay Forbes
secured their place in the final with a 5 & 4 victory over Hendrick Oldenziel and Annemarie Weisheit. Joining them will be Bryan Neal and Brian Dent who won 3 & 1 against Geoff Biggerstaff and Jan Svendsen. The remaining members played a 2 ball better ball where there was a tie for first place with two teams scoring 41 pts and having to be separated by a count back. It was Ken Robertson and John Collins who came out on top edging out Benedicte Kruse and Mike Chapman on the back 6.

Your Week in Sport Tales from the Top Flight by letting him win, but these have not been confirmed.

It’s over folks, it’s over. No, not this column but the Rugby World Cup. The bookmaker’s favourites New Zealand ended an era for their great team with a comprehensive 34-17 victory over Australia. At one stage they led 21-3, but Australia rallied before a drop goal from Dan Carter to turn the game back in the All Blacks direction. With a third of the side expected to retire after the win, world rugby may never have seen such a
great team. The most touching moment of the tournament came after the game, Sonny Bill Williams giving his winners medal to a 14-year-old boy who had raced on to the field to celebrate. Security put in one of the worst tackles of the day, which was noticed by the All Blacks star who then happily gave the young fan a gift to remember for the rest of his life. Let’s hope it doesn’t turn up on eBay! Nico Rosberg got himself “angry” enough to beat Hamilton to pole in the Mexico Grand Prix according to his boss Toto Wolff. Fortunately for the German he was still suffering road rage for the race as he led Hamilton home in a Mercedes one-two. There are suspicions that Mercedes kept pulling Hamilton back, into the pits and sent him out on an errand in an effort to please the German
England managed to lose the Second Test against Pakistan after I submitted the column to the CBP editor. Standard writing fare, the final wicket fell not long after the email was sent. The final Test is a writing nightmare, starting on Sunday so I am going to keep you all in suspense and report on it next week. England need a win to level the series and (spoiler alert) have dropped Joss Buttler after he kept dropping things himself. Sport was caught up in a very surprising humane and non-moneyconsidering story this week. Athletes with refugee status, therefore no home country to compete for will be allowed to enter the 2016 Olympics in Rio. They will compete under the Olympic flag and if they win a medal will have the Olympic Anthem played at the ceremony. On the complete flipside, a Kenyan runner faces fraud charges having decided to join the last mile of a marathon in Nairobi and literally ran-off with $7,000 in prize money. Apparently officials became a little suspicious when he was not sweating and didn’t look that tired. Not exactly the greatest con-job of the week, that accolade once again falls to FIFA and Michel Platini who is still claiming he is the best man to lead the governing body into a new era. I hadn’t realised we had been waiting so long, but Great Britain’s 112 year wait to win a men’s gold medal in the Gymnastics World Championship has come to an end. What a relief, right? Max Whitlock pipped Lewis Smith by 0.1 of a point. Smith, not at all better known for being on Strictly Come Dancing a while ago, is also British. Insert your own punch line with words like buses and waiting here.
We’ve not really discussed Manchester United this season, and for good reason.

TFTTF (I like that, I might use it again) has become a little like Match of the Day in the last couple of weeks. No, I do not mean the complete lack of expert analysis on the matches played or the slight smugness of the person presenting the information. I mean that we too have come into some criticism over the running order of matches. Apparently people would see some of the clubs at the bottom of the table get more of a mention, and hear less about teams pushing for the European places. With that in mind, Leicester I am afraid you will have to wait your turn. We need to talk about Chelsea! Jose might have had nothing to say about the defeat to Liverpool, but rumour has it his players will have even less to say to him at Cobham. If I am to believe my sources, which I may as well as
I am going to use my expert pseudo Match of the Day analysis technique to sum up their performance against Crystal Palace. Very, very boring. By the end of the game it was mentioned how well United had defended against Palace. Surely that should be the other way round? Palace are a solid 9th, level on points with Watford who are doing so well it can only suggest I tipped them for relegation or something. The Hornets brought West Ham’s excellent away form to an abrupt end, beating them 2-0. “Sam Allardyce will get those Sunderland boys defending much better” was the popular vote. Everton 6,
it makes half-decent copy, at least one player is refusing to talk to the Chelsea manager. Another has gone on unofficial record as saying “he would rather lose than win for him.” Things falling apart for Jose in his third season at a club, who would have predicted that? Liverpool, however, were very, very good. Early in the game there was chatter that Klopp had got his tactics wrong by not picking Benteke from the start. Klopp was merely showing his eccentric genius, proving that currently you don’t even need to play with strikers to beat the Blues.
I only have to say Newcastle and Stoke finished goalless for you to work out what an awful day out that must have been. Joe Hart will be buying Yaya Toure as much cake as the Ivorian desires after the big midfielder bailed out his goalkeeping buddy. Hart dropped the
ultimate clanger to allow Norwich to draw level at the Etihad, but Toure calmly slotted home a penalty to give City all three points. That win kept them ahead of Arsenal on goal difference at the top of the table, Arsenal beating Swansea 3-0 on the road. Arsenal’s second was somewhat dubious, but Swansea never looked like getting anything from the game and are nose diving down the table at quite a pace. Things are looking far from good for Bournemouth, as they lost again. Southampton won the first ever top flight “derby” between these two sides 20.
Sunderland 2 might make the so-called experts reconsider that statement. The game was refreshing, as it featured a team playing with two proper strikers, in an actual partnership. Lukaku and Kone linked up brilliantly throughout, the latter walking off the match ball following a hattrick.
That leaves us with, as promised, Leicester City and West Bromwich Albion. The day in the life of a Fox’s fan goes something like this currently. Go behind, check. Mahrez to be absolutely the best player on the pitch, check. Jamie Vardy to score in a thrilling comeback, check. WBA took the lead, Leicester stormed back to lead 3-1 before Albion made it all a little nervous at the end, getting a second. That win leaves Leicester, incredibly, in third place. Yes, third, ahead of United. I know who I would rather be watching at the moment.
Manager Salim from Elliot Davis made sure the night started with a bang as Indian dance music accompanied by an Indian dancer performed for the teams. It was a fantastic and memorable evening with all teams mixing and enjoying the festivities. Salim, joined by one of the Pinatar Arena directors and board member for Cricket España, Juan Carlos, presented the winners and runners up with their medals and Ron Graham, tournament Manager awarded the umpires and scorers with their medals in appreciation of their hard work
throughout the three days. The club would like to thank Elliot Davis for sponsoring the event and Pinatar Arena and its ground staff for making it all possible. A special thank you to Cookeze SL for their donation to the raffle prizes. Thanks also goes to its other long term sponsors The Curry Leaf Restaurant in Alcazeras and Ricos Bar in Torrevieja for their continued support. League winners, and now history makers with the first competitive final being played at night under floodlights, good work Pirates!!!
Pinatar Pirates Cricket Club Cricket by day... Cricket by night... Having won the ECCL division two league, the Pinatar Pirates CC based at the Pinatar Arena in San Pedro, were not in a mood to take it easy until the start of the next season. Keen to continue to thrive forward and promote Cricket in Spain, it played host to a T20 tournament with teams travelling from the UK to participate. Elliot Davis property management based in the UK were on hand to help sponsor and promote this event, not only bringing two teams to Spain, Elliot Davis select CC, and Marshes CC, but also sponsored all the tournament trophies. Friday saw the tournament kick off in style, with the splendid Pinatar Arena soaked in sunshine, Marshes from the UK looked impressive as they easily won their first game posting a target of 195. However the home team was not to be out done, winning their first game easy too, scoring 250. By Saturday it was almost as if the tournament had
switched venue to the UK, and under overcast chilly conditions the United Asians team also recorded its first win. As night fell and the covers went on, the forecasted heavy rain came, the UK teams had certainly bought the weather with them!! Sunday's schedule was semi-finals, and then later the final and for the first time in Spain, a competitive day night game played under floodlights. So arriving at the ground and seeing the pitch under water was not a good sight. With the daytime semi's cancelled and the officials doing there maths, it was determined that Marshes CC would play Pinatar CC in the first ever day night game in Spain, weather permitting!! The Pinatar players and Arena ground staff worked hard transforming the main football pitch into a cricket ground. Fortunately the wet stuff blowing around in the air was not enough to prevent the Final from going ahead. At 17:00, Pirates
lost the toss and were put into bat. They started well and were on course to post a decent score of around 180. Marshes however had other ideas and with 3 quick wickets falling at the midway stage, Pinatars tail got them to 138 for 9 of their 20 overs. It was always going to be 30 runs too short and though the bowlers made it hard work for Marshes CC, the result was never in doubt with the travelling side reaching the target with two overs to go. Both teams put on a great show, it was fantastic to be seated in a stadium in the darkness of the night, yet watching cricket being played live in front of you under floodlights. Congratulations to the Pinatar Arena and its ground staff on making this achievement possible, and from the success of the night final, there will certainly be more to follow. Any disappointment that the Pirates felt were soon forgotten once the presentation dinner started. Team

No change at the top as Celta advance ABBEY ANGLING At the moment the only venue fishable is the El Bosquet Complex, so once again we fished there for the 8th round of the Winter Series on the 27th October. The other waters are still in a mess from flooding, and the Eden Stretch is totally unfishable after the cutters have been in there. With the clocks having gone back an hour at the weekend, it has made it so much better for the drawing of the pegs as it is that much lighter first thing in the morning. Tony Macmillan who was drawn on the oblong and with a mixed bag of Carp and Mullet took first place to win the match with over 15kgs, doubling the weight of the 2nd spot place, and following his recent absence from the matches due to ill health, it is good to see him back with us and taking the top spot. Back up weights are still very poor. 1st Tony Macmillan with 15.560kgs fishing the pole using bread and corn 2nd Alan Reade with 7.200kgs fishing the
feeder using bread and corn 3rd Richard King with 6.880kgs fishing the pole using pellet 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 For our 8th round of the Winter Series we also fished the El Bosquet Complex on the 28th October. There was a big improvement in the weather this week with the sun shining again, which enabled us to fish the back channel, the hot peg has not produced for the last couple of matches, but the “Boy” still made the top spot no matter what peg he draws. 1st Neil McBirnie with 27.300kgs fishing the pole using pellet and bread 2nd Mick Hill with 8.900kgs fishing the pole using pellet and corn 3rd Bill Reade with 7.820kgs fishing the pole using bread and corn Whilst we were away at the Extremadura some of us witnessed a sight we had not seen before, a lot of people who do not fully understand fishing believe that fish get stressed if kept in a keep net during the match. The fish in the nets on the lake at Extremadura where actually feeding while in the nets from bait dropping in the water. A fish in my net was coming up in the net to take corn and maggot from me as I fed it, so obviously they were relaxed enough There are still some vacancies at the club and if anyone is interested in joining please contact Derek Swann on 966729293 or 603535771

The first match of the weekend was billed as ‘high risk’ as Atletico took their fans to La Coruña to face Deportivo. A daft mistake cost them dearly, and Lucas Perez slipped in to give Depor a share of the points. This left Atletico four points shy of the joint leaders, both of whom had straightforward wins. Benitez left half his stars on the bench for the visit of Las Palmas, mindful of Tuesday night’s game against Paris Saint German. The 3-1 win was achieved at a canter, as was Barcelona’s 0-2 scoreline away at Getafe. Celta it was who provided the headlines, with a 2-3 win at Real Sociedad, thanks to a late goal, taking them to within two points of the leaders. Eibar continue to impress, and a narrow win over Rayo
eases them into an unlikely sixth place, above some much bigger clubs like Valencia. In the second division Osasuna slipped up at home to Girona, leaving Córdoba alone, two points in the lead, after they beat Gimnástic 2-0. Locals Elche lost by the same score to third-placed Zaragoza, and are way behind the leaders in thirteenth place. In division 2B, group 1 is being led convincingly by Racing de Ferrol, a club with a history. In group 2, Barakaldo eased three points clear of their rivals, whilst in group 3 Cornellá came a cropper against local rivals Español B, so that Reus sneaked into a narrow lead, whilst Hercules thrashed Huracán 4-0 and
slipped into fourth place. UCAM Murcia still lead group 4, despite only drawing away at Marbella. In England, the big news was Chelsea’s defeat by Liverpool – can Mourinho hang on to his job? Away from football, tennis was in the news, as Garbiñe Muguruza and Carla Suárez made the doubles final at the Masters (should it be Mistresses?) Tournament in Singapore, only to lose to Martina Hingis and her Indian partner. It has been quite a year, however, for Garbiñe, now World Nº 3, who is the best prospect Spanish women’s tennis has has since Conchita Martínez. Malcolm Palmer
San Miguel Golf Society at La Finca Forty-two members and four guests turned out for San Miguel’s monthly visit to La Finca. Whilst the tee boxes have been reseeded and were heavily sanded, so were not great, the rest of the course was in superb condition. Perhaps the double mowing in tandem of fairways, the first time this writer has witnessed that, is a reason. As yellow tees were forward on many holes, exceptions including the stroke index 18 12th, which was off the whites, making it even harder than it usually is for the most difficult SI 18 hole in the area, good scores were expected. With 3 players in the Silver and Bronze categories breaking or equalling par, it was the Gold category players who really delivered, with Mick Cook, playing off of 5, being the stand out score of the day (and the season to date). Shooting a gross one under par, he was not merely
content with the category prize, but took a nearest the pin in 3 and one of the two football card prizes up for grabs in the club house. As could only be the case, his son took the other!! The day’s stableford competition results, by category and in reverse order, were the following: Bronze Category: 4th Chris Hamblett (30), 3rd Keith Stevenson (33), 2nd John Sorenson (36), and 1st, recent octogenerian but still clearly as fit as a fiddle, Norman McBride with 37 points. Silver Category: 4th Alan Gilbert (32 on CB), 3rd Phil de Lacy (32 on CB), 2nd Ken Flaherty (33) and 1st Steve Davis, breaking par with 37 points. Gold Category: 4th John Aitchison (36 on CB), 3rd Barry Roehrig (36 on CB), 2nd Richard MaCann with a very good 38, and 1st, with his superb score of 42 points, Mick Cook.
Nearest the pins on the par 3’s (open to all) went to Brian Staines (3), John Osborne (6), Ivan Hanak (13) and Mike Iddles (16). Nearest the pins in 3 went to Mick Cook (Gold, hole 7), Ron Stenhouse (Silver, hole 11) and John Parker (Bronze, hole 10) The Abacus was won by Ernie Johnson. The best guest prize was won by Mark Pope with 31 points. Our thanks go to the staff at La Finca golf course for their contribution to an enjoyable day. Keep up to date with all SMGS matters by logging on to our website www.smgs.org or simply give Barry Roehrig a call on 966 731 033 to find out more about the society and its weekly golf get-togethers. Next week we will be at Villamartin.
SPORTSMAN GOLF SOCIETY (The Galleon Bar), QUESADA
Sun shining, clubs cleaned and balls scrubbed - off we go! Twenty players set out to once again master the game, the scores reflected some good golf as well as bad. The condition of the course was top notch, although the greens have been faster. A good time to play Vistabella, and with a 4 hr 30 min round it’s probably unknown territory for Society golfing. No problems with the overlap of holes, I've got to say I think that’s the first time I have experienced that at Vistabella. With most of the players gathered on the 1st tee, off went the first group with some serious individual side bets placed. Was someone going to be out of pocket Jerry/David? A good sprinkling of guests also meant that we could have a best guest prize. Upon returning to
the Club House "Galleon Bar, Quesada" the cards were checked and scores totted up with the top two scores carded by playing partners in The Quesada Golf Super League, keep it up guys. Tracey served up a cracking Chilli and rice which was soon devoured. After warming up with a good intake of hot food it was onto the presentation and the winners photo shoot. Thanks Tracey for the food and Vino. I feel I have to mention the Football card winner which was Jim Gaw, hope you told the wife Jim! Winners of the Day: Winner : Dave Smith 37 points Runner-up : Steve Fleet 36 points Best Guest : Lawrie 36 points Nearest the Pins: 4th Jerry Conybeare
