It’s Carnival time Here in Torrevieja, it’s carnival or ‘carnaval’ time across the town. f you’ve seen children on their way to school dressed in all manner of weird and wonderful ways, then this is why. The festival originated as a prequel to the period of lent when it represented the last opportunity to let your hair down and enjoy yourself prior to this period of abstention. Since then it has continued to be an exhibition of the flamboyant with extraordinary costumes, makeup and exhibitionism, in countries across the world. No less so in Torrevieja where it is celebrated with gusto and brightens up what can be a dreary February. Usually for a full school week children will go to school wearing some item of clothing that has been specified. For example, a bow tie, or a head scarf, a

with a procession outside the school gates and around the local streets. It’s not just the schools that get involved. It’s also an occasion that is celebrated in the town, and this year Torrevieja’s main procession was held on Sunday 7th February. It set out from la Plaza María Asunción and proceeded along Calle Ramón Gallud. This colourful and dramatic event is only usually marred by the cold weather. However, although it had started off as a blustery day it turned into a mild afternoon and evening. It was a colourful parade with plenty of glamour as well as some unusual and imaginative themes. Not everyone has finished yet with their carnival celebrations. Las Culturas primary school will be celebrating their carnival on Friday 12th February at 3.00pm and the late night carnival will be held on Saturday 13th February. Plenty of time to witness one of the most extravagant and colourful occasions of the year. (see page 2 for more pictures). Suzanne O’Connell

BITE SIZE PSOE demands promised bus service NEWS: The San Luis petrol station Controversy continues in relation to the building of the petrol station in San Luis. This is to be a 24 hour unmanned station and the issue of these is being raised not only locally but regionally too. Unmanned stations or ‘ghost’ stations provide lower cost petrol which they can afford to do because they do not have a person on site. Instead there is a machine for payments and some outside drinks dispensers. The issue has been the safety of these establishments where there is petrol and other combustibles on site but no one there to keep an eye on any safety issues. The Valencian government has recently announced a change in the law so that these petrol stations will no longer be able to operate without at least one attendant during daylight hours. As reported in el mundo, this represents a real set back for low cost gas stations which have reduced their cost by not needing staff. A situation that the Valencian government believes means that the petrol stations are unsafe. The new government in Valencia has now ruled that staffing of these station must also be available to help disabled people. Stations that do not implement the new law face fines of between €3,000 and €15,000. Perhaps this new ruling might have an impact of the viability of the new petrol station on our doorstep. Continued on page 4
Socialist Maria Garcia from the opposition party PSOE has reported that the bus service announced by the Councillor for Transport Sofia Alvarez in October to run between Entrenaranjos and Orihuela Costa is still not up and running. She claims that although local residents have tried to contact Councillor Alvarez they have not received a response and said that “once again this is another promise from the PP that is not fulfilled and demonstrates that it is ignoring the needs and wishes of the local community”. Residents from Entrenaranjos used to have a free shuttle bus to the Costa every Tuesday. However, in the month of September this service was removed with the PP promising to seek alternatives. In October the Councillor for Transport said she would ‘join Orihuela Costa with Entrenaranjos with a bus that also stopped at Torrevieja Hospital’. In the announcement made the PP Councillor said that ‘the first
stop on this route will be Entrenaranjos’ as it was ‘local demand that moved me to respond with this measure’. Maria Garcia said: “We believe that this shows a complete lack of respect for the residents. It is unacceptable to announce this service with a big fanfare four months ago and still not provide what you promised.” Maria Garcia also recalled the statements made by the Regional Minister José María Salvador in November regarding public passenger transport by road when he said “it's time to talk to the Government and try to change transport routes and propose improvements in the service in the face of new concessions”, However, according to the Minister nobody from Orihuela City Council has contacted his department. The opposition party also claim that La Zenia still has no bus service, despite that fact that in the previous legislature Martina Scheurer left an improved bus service project completed and ready for implementation.
Guardamar arrests Local police officers in Guardamar have arrested a British citizen for driving with a counterfeit license. The incident happened when officers, conducting a traffic stop, noted a vehicle that was parked illegally. When officers requested the documentation of the driver, they realised that he was being evasive and obviously didn’t want to show it, forcing the officers to insist. Finally the driver provided a driving license which according to the British authorities consulted, was a forgery. The man was arrested and will appear in court in the next few days.
In an unrelated incident Local police officers in Guardamar arrested to two people who were caught robbing a business in the village. Officers performing routine surveillance saw two people loitering on the corner of the premises. The men tried to leave in car parked nearby but the swift reactions of the officers stopped them making a quick getaway. One of the windows to the property was broken with a large stone lying inside and the cash registers were on the floor by the window. It was obvious that the officers had disturbed the pair part way through the robbery.

World Cancer Day BITE SIZE and all things AECC NEWS: Continued from page 3
It has been a busy week for Maria and her Pink Ladies (and Panthers, of course). Firstly they braved the weather last Thursday to host a World Cancer Day event at Zenia Boulevard and despite the wet weather the initiative was a great success raising an amazing 1,570.16 euros for local anticancer charity the AECC. Unfortunately some of the first acts had to cancel because it was too slippery to dance and perform on the wet stage. However, luckily the
race held last year in aid of the AECC - Rosemary Sargent's, from the UK. Her ticket was found in Penaguila, Alicante. The finder received 20€ and Rosemary has very kindly re-donated her prize of 100 euros to the charity. The final piece of news from Maria and the Pink Ladies is a marvellous milestone. Since its inception four years ago, the charity has now raised a phenomenal 250,000 euros – quarter of a million euros - the largest amount ever raised
Buy a new bus The date draws closer when Age Concern’s new bus appeal will reach its target of €30,000. ‘We are now on just over €29,000,’ says Maureen Payne, the president. ‘We have only €1,000 left to collect. The vehicle is already on order and hopefully will be delivered near the end of March.’ Before the vehicle is delivered they will need to have a wheelchair lift fitted which will cost extra and so they are continuing to fund raise to try and cover the cost of the lift too. Congratulations goes to the group and all those who have supported their efforts.
Charity quiz night Fundraising with a smile
rain subsided allowing the remaining artists to go on with the show. As always these kindhearted entertainers gave their time and talents for free and so the organisers would like to say a big thank you to: Simon Morton, Stevie Spit, Dan Davy, Alan Scott, ABBA Elite, Kylie Burgassi, No Limit and Nikki G. This year’s event was also supported by Zenia Boulevard for the fourth year running and in addition to providing the venue free of charge, the management team also supplied hundreds of beautiful roses for Maria and her volunteers to give to each member of the public who made a donation on the day. In addition to the World Cancer Day fundraiser, Maria and the Pink Ladies are pleased to announce the winner of the charity balloon
in the Alicante province and every cent donated to the AECC. All the Pink Ladies and Panthers are volunteers who give their time for free and have done an amazing job to raise such a considerable amount in just a few years; what a fabulous achievement. Maria Wilson said: “We are so proud of what we have achieved, it’s an amazing milestone to have reached. Of course it wouldn't have been possible without every single supporter of our charity, and we are very grateful to everyone who has ever made a donation. “Of course, those who know me will know that this has only inspired me to carry on fundraising with the half-a-million euro goal at the front of my mind!”
Paul Cunningham Nurses are pleased to announce that their Grand Charity Quiz night will be held on Saturday 20th February at 7.30pm. Quiz master Mike will be the master of the questions and there will be many different rounds including music, general knowledge and a picture round. Tickets will be €7.50 and this will include lasagne, chips and salad. A vegetarian option will also be available. To book your table please telephone 688 387 490. A charity raffle will also be held during the evening. Suzanne O’Connell

Prizes in Pilar
Biggest annual growth for Spanish economy since 2007
Shoppers can win great prizes in the run up to Valentine’s Day, just for simply choosing to spend their money in Pilar de la Horadada. The town is offering 1,000 euros in gift vouchers up for grabs from 4th to 14th February. Pilar de la Horadada Town Hall is behind the Valentine's Day shopping campaign, entitled ‘Cuorelotto’ or lottery of the heart. Customers who shop in any of the more than 90 participating local businesses in the town can win prizes. Councillor Pilar María Samper thanked the businesses for getting involved and encouraged even more to join in future campaigns aimed at boosting the local economy and encouraging people to discover the wide range of goods on offer in the town. Almost all types of businesses are represented, including the hospitality sector – bars, restaurants and cafes and a full list of participants can be seen on the town’s web page: www.pilardelahoradada.org. Up for grabs are vouchers to spend in various businesses across the municipality for a total of €1,000. Customers take part by picking one of the 8,000 tickets available when they make a purchase. If they spend at least 5 euros they will go into the draw to win vouchers worth 50 euros each. To claim their prize, customers also have to keep their receipt, which must be dated between 4th and 14th February 2016. The draw will be held in public at the Town Hall on 19th February 2pm, when the 20 winning numbers will be picked and the lucky holders contacted by telephone.
It has been reported over the last year that Spain’s economy is one of the fastest growing in Europe at this current time. It is even growing at a faster rate than Germany, although there is much more to be made up since much more was destroyed in the economic crisis. Nevertheless, 2015 closed at the end of December with the Spanish economy growing at its highest rate in the last eight years since 2007. According to data published by the National
during the first two quarters. This now means that the GDP has spent ten consecutive months in positive growth, and two consecutive years of annual growth since the start of the economic crisis at the end of 2007. In 2011, the economy shrank by 1.0 percent and fell even further the following year, by 2.6 percent. In 2013, the decline was slightly less at -1.7 percent, and it wasn’t until 2014 that we saw positive figures for the first time in seven years
Statistics Institute, Spain’s Gross Domestic Product went up by 3.2 percent throughout the course of the year. This figure coincides with the estimate given by the Bank of Spain for the year, but is slightly less than that forecast by the Government of 3.3 percent. The broken-down figures have revealed that during the last two quarters of the year, Spain’s economy advanced 0.8 percent, but, in fact, this was a lesser rate than by how much it grew
when the economy grew 1.4 percent. And finally, a year later, Spain’s economy more than doubled, with the 3.2 percent that has just been reported. Despite the current political instability in Spain, the forecast for this year is still positive. The IMF has predicted that our economy will grow 2.7 percent this year, a figure that coincides with other economic bodies. Spain’s economy will also continue to be one of the fastest growing amongst the main economies in Europe.

FOOD FOR January spike in THE NEEDY domestic violence murders across Spain The year of 2016 has got off to a tragic first month, due to a spike in the number of women killed in cases of domestic violence. According to officials, a total of eight women were killed in attacks perpetrated by their current or ex-partners, according to officials. In past 14 years, only one month of January has seen more such murders, when nine victims were registered in 2006. But the figure is the same as the number of the victims seen in the first month of 2003, 2011 and 2012, which would suggest that legislation aimed at combating domestic violence passed by Congress in 2004 has had little effect in stopping the number of cases.
Poppy Appeal success Once again, The Royal British Legion in Spain is indebted to the wonderful generosity, not only of the expat community but to all nationalities who contributed to the 2015 Poppy Appeal. The final total raised was an absolutely incredible 171,543.43€ and this was achieved in spite of the difficult financial times in which we are living. A spokesperson said: “Our grateful thanks go to all the Branch members, friends, local businesses, Churches, Consulates and Embassies, as well as the many clubs and individuals who have contributed to this amount.” At the Legion’s Annual Conference on 29th January awards were presented including the Recruiting Award to Pinoso Branch, the Poppy Award - for the highest amount per member raised for the Appeal - going to Gran Alacant and La Marina Branch for their efforts of in excess of 345 euros per member. Welfare caseworker scrolls went to two members of Orihuela Costa and District Branch for their work over and above what would normally be expected. In the coming months the work of the Legion in Spain, as well as how the welfare money is to be spent, will be included in The Costa Blanca People. If you would like to know more about the Legion or find a Branch in your locality, please contact the secretary on secretary.rbl.dns@gmail.com, or ring 648 860 251 For all welfare enquiries, the number to ring is 676 451 780. Alternatively visit The RBL website at: www.britishlegion.org.uk/counties/spai n-north.
Above: Robin Hargrave, the District Poppy Appeal Co-ordinator reveals the total.
Nevertheless, there have been improvements in the way authorities have been helping victims. More women are calling 016, the telephone number where they can anonymously seek attention. The service, which was launched in 2007, received a record number of 82,000 phone calls last year. In addition to the eight victims, another case last month saw the death of a 17-month-old infant, who was thrown out of an apartment window by a 30-year-old man after the child’s mother found him trying to sexually abuse the baby. The 18-year-old mother was hospitalised after being beaten by the aggressor. The suspect was later arrested and is now in custody.
The Councillor for Social Welfare, Sabina Galindo, recently met with Rotary Club of Orihuela, in order to establish a partnership between the city and the club. This collaboration made a few weeks ago has resulted in a campaign to collect food that will be used to help 21 families living in the city and Orihuela Costa who are living in a vulnerable position in terms of financial support. The councillor thanked the collaboration and the joint action of Rotary Club of Orihuela "because initiatives like this relieve the difficult situation being experienced by these families."

Half Marathon open to all The Mayor of Orihuela, Emilio Bascuñana, and the Councillor for Sport, Damaso Aparicio, have presented the eighteenth Half Marathon of the City of Orihuela. The race will take place on Sunday, 14th February, starting from the Glorieta Gabriel Miró and is expected to attract more than 2,000 participants. The Mayor and the Councillor were accompanied by Paco Belmonte, President of the Athletics Club Tragamillas which is sponsoring the sporting event. Councillor Aparicio said that this year the half-marathon also has the support of the Department of Youth, headed by Councillor Sabina Galindo. Youngsters will provide musical entertainment in the streets through the Musical Association Nuestra Señora del Remedio La Matanza. It is hoped that the music will enliven the race and motivate the runners as they pass through the arch of Santo Domingo and in front of the Town Hall. Councillor for Sport Damaso Aparicio said: “This race is the largest sporting event in the city, it not only remains popular yearafter-year, but each year the event grows; increasing the number of participants. This year the traditional race also includes an 8k run. This will allow more people to take part as it is a more manageable distance for most regular runners and is a good way
to test your stamina if you want to try the half-marathon in future.” Paco Belmonte said that those who want to take part can register until Thursday 11th February through the website: www.tragamillas.org while the number and runner's bag can be collected on Saturday 13th all day from the Water Palace. The Mayor said that “both the City Council and the Department of Sports will continue to pursue the promotion of the Half Marathon because Orihuela is dedicated to sport, health and fitness. He added that ‘these activities help us promote healthy habits and of course we present our city in a positive light, so we invite all residents of the region and the province to participate next Sunday’.
Caterpillar misery in Campoverde A recent article in the Costa Blanca People prompted local residents from Campoverde to get in touch. They say that there are areas of the village, particularly around parks and natural areas where nests are rife and despite requests to the Town Hall nothing has been done. One resident, Lis, has been visiting Campoverde for nine years and have lived here for three and is concerned about the high number of Processionary Caterpillar nests. Lis said: “We live near the Rio Seco dry riverbed, and the castle. We have fostered 17 rescue dogs in three years plus we have one of our own. The nests are always in parks and areas near pavements where children and dogs are walked. Many northern European residents have never come across these caterpillars in their country and so are unaware of the danger they pose.” The pine processionary caterpillar builds white cotton-
wool like nests and at some point between February to April make their way to the ground in a long chain and can be recognised by their distinctive orange-brown colour and blue bands. During this stage these furry insects can be a danger to humans and other mammals. If the hairs on the caterpillars are touched or poked they cause a nasty rash and give off dust that can cause respiratory problems. They are particularly toxic for children and animals. If the caterpillar is stressed or threatened it can eject its hairs which act a little like harpoons and can penetrate or irritate any exposed skin. Dogs are particularly susceptible as they will pick up the hairs on their paws and then lick them as they start to itch. This then leads to the hairs being transferred on to the animal’s tongue and can result in itching, swelling, vomiting and even death.

85 years for Torrevieja‘ciudad’ Torrevieja has officially been a town or ciudad now for 85 years. To celebrate the occasion children took part in a ‘pleno’ or council meeting and debated on issues such as the continuous school day and the construction and development of cycle paths. Altogether 23 children took part representing six schools throughout Torreviejaand they took on the role of counsellors by voting on ten proposals for improving the town in the interests of children and their families. The mayor, José Manuel Dolón directed the pleno and answered all the questions that the children posed. ‘The schools have been working towards this,’ explained the mayor. ‘Many of the representatives have been chosen through a democratic process within the schools themselves. They have discussed and voted on some of the issues before coming here. This is how democracy works.’ One of the items that gave rise to most debate was that of the continuous day in school. At the moment primary school children break for lunchtime at 12.30pm and return to school for an afternoon session at 3.00pm until 4.30pm. Many parents have campaigned to change this so that the children continue in school without this extended lunchtime break. This was one of the motions proposed by Salvador Ruso and Las Culturas. Other motions included the problem of pre-fabricated school buildings in Torrevieja, cultural opportunities for children when they aren’t in school, cleaning of the streets after the market, parks, gardens and refugee children from Syria. All the motions were passed by the children except the cleaning of
the streets after the market which was rejected by a narrow margin. Each school submitted four representatives with the exception of the CMT La Purisima which submitted three. They had each chosen a name for

This is the first time that pupils have taken part in a pleno in the actual council chamber in Torrevieja. It was a fitting way in which to mark the day of the 4th February 1931 when Torrevieja received the title of being a ‘ciudad’ by Royal Decree from King Alfonso XIII.

Keeping our parks shipshape Torrevieja’s natural parks are a real strength of the town but in order to keep them that way they need maintenance and TLC. The volunteers of La Mata have spent many hours in recent months making new signs for the Natural Park there. The most recent signs that they have made themselves were put in place on Tuesday 2nd February by members of the group. The signs remind people that dogs must be kept on a lead because of the nesting birds and small animals which live in the undergrowth. If dogs run around and disturb them this can cause real damage. A total of five signs were put at the entrance to the woods which adjoin the dovecotes to remind visitors of this and other rules to help protect the park and its inhabitants. The volunteers of La Mata don’t just make signs. They also remind visitors of the rules, hand out leaflets and alert officials to any problems they notice whilst walking around the park. Anyone who would like to join the group and help to look after this precious natural area can email for more information: exgp10@yahoo.co.uk
Planting programme The planting of one hundred and fifty saplings has
begun in the Municipal park of Molino del Agua. This follows on from previous plantings in the Reina de la Sal park. The planting programme is designed to help particular species of plants recover their place in the local environment. The Jarilla Cabeza de Gato, is one of the species of plants being re-introduced and establishing them once more is an important step for conservation in the area.
Other plans include the integration of a small population of plants between the Los Náufragos beach and Mar Azul. Previously they were in abundance in this area and preserving the plant is seen as a priority. Suzanne O’Connell
Discover culture in Orihuela The councillor for Culture, Begoña Cuartero, has presented the cultural of events planned for this week. The Teatro Circo will host the children’s show The Lost Treasure on Friday 12th February, to be attended by schools in Orihuela, whilst on Saturday 13th February the ‘Winter Concert’is open to all, starting at 8.00pm and given by the Orquesta Ciudad de Orihuela. Valentine's Day will see the turn of the comedy show Bertin Osborne and Arévalo, entitled ‘By humour to the Art’ and will begin at 6.00pm.
Exhibitions The Councillor for Culture also announced that the Holy Sepulchre is currently hosting an collection for an exhibition entitled ‘Cathedrals of nature’ presented by students of architecture at the University of Alicante, while the San Juan Museum of God is hosting the exhibition ‘Art Cisoria’. This exhibition will remain open until 28th February and features digital silkscreens created by more than sixty artists, most notably the Oriolano Victor Camera.

King calls on Socialists to form a majority government fter weeks of political stalemate, Spain’s King Felipe VI has called on the secretary general of the Socialist Party (PSOE), Pedro Sánchez, (right) to try to form a majority government. The move came after an initial refusal by acting prime minister Mariano Rajoy of the conservative Popular Party (PP) to do so, given his lack of support in Congress ahead of the investiture vote.
A
Sánchez has repeatedly rejected his offer of a grand coalition between the PP and PSOE. And Rajoy’s strategy appears to be to wait in the hope that Sánchez will fail at building an alternative coalition, then repeat his offer. In the meantime, the Spanish head of state has called on Sánchez to try to form a government following the second round of talks with political leaders after the December polls. Although Rajoy’s PP won the election in
terms of number of seats in Congress, the vote left no party with a clear majority. Until now negotiations between Spain’s political forces – including emerging groups Ciudadanos and Podemos – have not spawned any agreements that could lead to the formation of a government – a situation never before seen in Spanish politics since the return to democracy in the late 1970s. Sánchez announced that he would immediately begin conversations with other parties with the aim of reaching agreements. PSOE members will be able to give their approval via a referendum, during which they will vote on the content and the participants within the pact. “I will be taking this seriously,” said Sánchez, calling on the country’s political forces to refrain from vetoing his future plans. The problems of the country, the PSOE chief told reporters, required “responsibility” from all political forces, and no one should put their personal interests ahead of them. “Change is not the property of any political party nor of a leader, but rather of millions of citizens,” said Sánchez, who added that he would try to form “a government of change, one that is progressive and that will introduce reforms. All Spaniards should have a place within this change. This change will be for all citizens, or it won’t happen at all.” Sánchez waited for Rajoy – who won 123 seats at the December election but fell short of a majority (176) – to first try to find governing partners. But King Felipe did not repeat his offer to the acting prime minister, given that the Socialist chief had already expressed his willingness to do the same, albeit with conditions. “I have told the king that the Socialist Party is willing,”
Change is not the property of any political party nor of a leader, but rather of millions of citizens,” said Sánchez
Sánchez explained. “If Mr Rajoy renounces what we understand to be his obligation, the PSOE will take a step forward and try to form a government, thus taking Spain’s democracy and institutions out of this stalemate.” From now, Sánchez will try to forge this majority with calls to the representatives of the parties “of change.” On this occasion, he has made clear that this will not include the Popular Party, nor nationalist parties that seek independence for the northeastern region of Catalonia, although he said he would speak to them. “I won’t seek their support but I will speak to them to make clear that I do not agree with them,” he said. His insistence that he would not seek support from pro-independence regional parties is due to misgivings expressed by many Socialist officials, who also fear any deal with Podemos. The anti-austerity party has expressed support for a referendum on self-rule in Catalonia. Sánchez has yet to give a clear answer to Podemos leader Pablo Iglesias, who recently proposed a coalition between
their two forces and the United Left in which Sánchez would be prime minister and Iglesias his deputy.
One month Pedro Sánchez asked congressional speaker Patxi López for “three weeks to a month” to negotiate a governing deal with other political parties, according to the latter. At a press conference, the Socialist secretary general himself also talked of about a month. Once he has a deal, Sánchez will ask Congress to call an investiture debate, which could take place in late February or early March. At this session, he will need an absolute majority in the first round of voting, or else a simple majority in a runoff to be held 48 hours later. If his bid fails, the king could turn to another candidate and ask them to try to form a government. In any case, the Spanish Constitution stipulates that if no nominee is successful two months after the first investiture vote, new elections will be called.

A young promoter of Torrevieja When Lucy Shaw, aged eight, visited the Three Kings procession in January this year she was so impressed by it that she decided to make a power point presentation the next morning. Lucy’s parents own an apartment in Torrevieja and had decided to come over during the Christmas holiday. Lucy had waited for the procession by the church for two hours and collected over a pound worth of sweets in the special cone she’d been given. She managed to take plenty of pictures and a video to use in her presentation as well.
‘When we came back to England she wanted to share her experience with her school and did a Show and Tell presentation in January,’ explains her mum, Anna. ‘The other children asked lots of questions and helped her eat the sweets that she had brought back. Torrevieja is now famous in Lucy’s school!’ Lucy was delighted when at the next school assembly she was called to the front by the headteacher, given a certificate and awarded star of the week. Well done Lucy for spreading the good news about Torrevieja. Lucy with her certificate

More new homes for the Costa It has been announced that 250 new homes have been approved for Orihuela Costa and Councillors say more and more licences being approved every week. The construction of homes in Orihuela Costa is continuing at quite a pace, with almost every weekly council meeting stamping its approval on a licence to build something or other on the coast. This was what Councillor Dámaso Aparicio was pleased to highlight when he announced that on Tuesday the council had approved eight licences that will essentially permit the construction of 250 homes in the area. He explained that these licenses consist of various projects, the largest of them for 195 properties to be developed in Lomas
de Cabo Roig’ another is for 29 homes and one more for 20 properties. The councillor indicated that the number of building licences ‘keeps increasing’ each week. The government team believes that this is a positive move for the area and specifically for the local economy, proving that promoters are choosing to invest in Orihuela and is a clear sign of revitalisation. However, others are nervous and believe that with the considerable amount of empty ‘new’ homes that have never been sold and the halffinished building projects still scattered across Orihuela Costa, building more new houses is foolhardy.

of the main tasks of the day was to plant more than 600 specimens of indigenous trees in the mountains of Orihuela. The Councillor said: “Bringing these activities to the children allows them to experience nature first-
Children from Orihuela Costa school Playas de Orihuela, Fernando de Loaces colleges in the city as well as children from schools in the districts of Desamparados and Molins met in the Sierra de Orihuela to mark the day with several activites. Supervised by the Department of Environment the day-long activities were all created to promote environmental education among the children. One

Record occupation in Benidorm hotels Benidorm has broken its own record for overnight hotel stays. For the first time ever, the flagship Costa Blanca resort saw more than 11 million hotel overnight stays in 2015, according to figures from the National Statistics Institute (INE). The popular resort tripled the number of overnight stays in the city of Valencia, and came fourth in the overall ranking. The numbers, which were compiled and
supplied to the INE by the HOSBEC hotel association, rank Barcelona (18.4 million) at the top of the list, followed by Madrid (17.8 million) and San Bartolomé de Tirajana in Gran Canaria. Benidorm is the primary vacation choice on the Iberian Peninsula, followed by island destinations. Elsewhere on the list, Lloret de Mar in Catalonia ranked 10th while Valencia placed 17th on the list.

Do you know what the eighth wonder of the world is? A
ccording to Einstein it’s compounding, and specifically compound interest. According to some recent research, it turns out that most of us seriously underestimate how much compound interest can grow our wealth. This matters because it leads investors and savers to make poor decisions. In particular, there are two routine mistakes made by those who ignore the power of compound interest.
Mistake one: ‘Saving or investing just isn’t for me’. We fail to grasp that even small amounts invested early in life can grow into large amounts later, we think of small savings habits as more trouble than they're worth. But they are far from trouble; saving small can result in a big money pot later. If you save £20 a month over a period of 50 years with a 4 per cent return, you end up with over £38,000 – and, crucially, more than £26,000 of that would be pure interest, with only £12,000 coming from the contributions you make.
Mistake two: Property Time and time again people talk about property being a 'great investment.' It's easy to see why. We never stop hearing about rising property prices, and stock markets are only in the news when they crash. There are many reasons to be cautious of property. Property is difficult and expensive to buy and sell – especially if you live in it. Contrast that with investing, whether you do-it-yourself or have a manager. Stocks, bonds and cash allow you to diversify, and to buy and sell quickly and cheaply; you can spread your money around the world, in different companies and sectors. Going for growth: A medium-risk investment portfolio has outperformed property over the long-term. If you are looking for a better way to grow your savings then we have a number of low risk investment products that we deal with from major UK Assurance Companies.

WEEKLY EURO UPDATE The Euro has had a great week having finally broken out of the year to date range against the US$ which had been contained within the 1.08 – 1.10 levels. Having breeched the upside level of 1.10 there was a market scramble to cover €/US$ short positions with the rate spiking as high as 1.1240 in the aftermath. The US dollar for the most part traded on the weak side. Market participants now seem suspicious that the US Federal Reserve will not have the appetite nor need to raise American interest rates four times throughout 2016. The stock market turmoil since the start of the year, has seen global demand for trade being revised lower suggesting that whilst the US economy will grow throughout 2016 and 2017, the previously projected pace will now need to scaled back. Such revisions are not exclusive to the USA, but are now a major theme throughout the world. So a scaling back of Federal Reserve interest rate hike expectations and the realisation that whilst ECB President Mario Draghi could very easily unleash more accommodative measures at the next meeting in March, near term policy is unchanged since December, with no new divergence to price in, seeming to favour a stronger single currency. The Euro also managed to wrestle the pound down with the €1.30 level breached again, although this move did not happen until the latter part of the week and as a direct result of the UK’s Bank of England Monetary Policy Committee decisions. Eurozone unemployment was adjusted downwards to 10.4% in December vs 10.5% a month earlier. It is also heartening to see this figure as being the lowest rate recorded within the Eurozone since September 2011.
So European QE measures are helping, just not as quick as had been hoped. The Eurozone’s PMI data has shown the region to have conflicting signals. Business confidence for 2016 remains high although January’s activity numbers suggest that the EU economy will grow at its slowest pace in over four months, no doubt adding further weight to the argument for ECB stimulus measures to be ramped up in the future. As expected the Bank of England left UK interest rates on hold yet again, however the final dissenter Ian McCafferty, who had called for an interest rate hike throughout the last six meetings has now changed tack having joined the other eight members in a unanimous vote to leave rates at the record low of 0.5%. Justification for the change can be seen within the Bank of England’s latest forecast which suggests that UK inflation will remain below 1 percent throughout 2016. The recent global slow down and the risk associated with the referendum on the UK’s membership of the European Union continue to weigh heavily on sterling’s performance. Bank of England Governor Mark Carney has acknowledged that growth forecasts are now to be revised downwards, and that considering the delicate global situation and lack of inflation, an interest rate cut in the UK must not be ruled out either. Finally from a US perspective we have seen that the US dollar is now no longer a one way bet. The much anticipated nonfarm payroll data saw another 151,000 jobs added during January which lower that most forecasts, however the US dollar did strengthen again as the American unemployment rate fell close to an eight year low of just 4.9%.

The ‘sensitive plant’, Mimosa pudica, also known as ‘humble plant’, or ‘touch-me-not’, is a fun plant to grow - a source of fascination to adults and children alike. When you gently touch the narrow fernlike leaflets they almost instantaneously fold together and the leaf stalk droops. This sometimes sets off a chain reaction, causing the collapse of a whole section of foliage, or perhaps the whole plant. When left to its own devices, the plant will gradually return to normal. warming, cooling, blowing, or shaking. And at night, the leaves will fold and bend as a reaction to absence of light. All in all a very “lively” plant …
Appearance
This touch-induced movement of leaves is thought to be a defensive mechanism against predators. The shrinking and closing of the leaves is thought to startle potential herbivores and dislodge harmful insects, thereby ensuring its survival. Robert Hooke (English scientist famous for his microscopy work, 1635-1703) was one of the first people to investigate the movements of Mimosa pudica, and at that time it had been suggested that plants had nerves and tissues similar to those in animals. It was later discovered that the leaves fold as a result of the internal movement of water, and the mechanics of the process are now well-documented. A stimulus, such as touch or air movement, triggers certain areas of the stem to release chemicals, which cause water to move out of cell vacuoles and leads to cell collapse. The closing motion of the leaves is quite dramatic and you almost feel as if the plant is alive. It is this curious characteristic, even more than the plant’s attractive flowers, that gardeners find appealing. The leaves also close under various other stimuli, such as
The sensitive plant is found as a weed throughout the tropics, but is widely cultivated elsewhere for its curiosity value. It is a low-growing, creeping plant or small shrub with sparsely to densely prickly, branching stems. In cultivation this tropical perennial is often grown as an annual. In gardens it can form a groundcover that helps shade out weeds but it may die in the winter. In temperate climates, the sensitive plant enjoys widespread popularity as a houseplant due to its fascinating behaviour. The leaves are bipinnate, fern-like and pale green. The plant usually flowers from mid-spring to early autumn, with clusters of five to eight pink or lavender fluffy, ballshaped flowers on short stalks. Each flower consists of hundreds of fine filaments, thus giving it the appearance of a fluffy pompon or a fireworks burst. Seeds are produced in pods which split into singleseeded segments bearing bristles, which aid dispersal by animals. In tropical countries the plant flowers all year and each plant may produce up to 700 seeds.
Culture: Soil and Climate Mimosa pudica is a heat-loving plant that does best in hot, moist climates. Ideally, it should be planted in fertile, well-drained soil in full sun or partial shade, but can survive drought conditions and poor soil. Despite the plant’s adaptability to a range of conditions, Mimosa pudica is sensitive to frost.
Propagation Mimosa pudica can be propagated by seeds
or summer cuttings. The seeds germinate easily - especially if they are scarified (scratched) and soaked overnight in warm water. When transplanting the seedlings, take care not to disturb the sensitive roots.
Invasiveness While the plants do not live long - generally a single growing season - the seeds they drop take root easily. Mimosa pudica can become
invasive if not kept under control and are considered weeds in agricultural settings such as forest plantations, farms, orchards and pastureland. Nonetheless, one can’t deny the fact that Mimosa pudica or the “touch-me-not” plant is a compelling and fascinating plant. It is a plant unlike the usual plants one comes across. Marc Vijverberg

WELCOME TO MANILA with Vivalia Travel
Skyline Manila is the capital of the Philippines and the nation's center of education, business, and transportation. Manila has a reputation as a congested, polluted concrete jungle, and is often overlooked as a mere stopover for travelers aiming to reach other Philippine provinces or islands. To an extent this reputation is deserved, but Manila is nevertheless rapidly developing and has its own rich history and experiences to offer. The city is sprawling, bustling, and culturally complicated, with a colorful multi-cultural
heritage and varied nightlife. Manila is distributed into 16 territorial districts, which are all original towns except one, the Port Area District. Each district is distinguished through its history, culture and cuisine.
THINGS TO SEE AND DO The main tourist sites of Manila are located along Manila Bay. You can visit: Baywalk, south of the Luneta is the renovated Baywalk a linear park adjacent to Manila Bay. Restaurants formerly on the actual baywalk have been moved inwards to allow a clear view of Manila's legendary sunsets. Bonifacio Shrine - A shrine in honour of Andres Bonifacio who was one of the Filipinos
who struggled and fought for freedom for the country against the Spanish forces. Coconut Palace - a residence commissioned and built along the waterfront by First Lady Imelda Marcos for Pope John Paul II's visit in 1981. While open to the public at some point, it is currently (as of June 2011) occupied by the current Vice President and still open for public visits. Plaza San Luis - A commercial complex consisting five house; Casa Manila, Casa Urdaneta, Casa Blanca, Los Hidalgos and El Hogar Filipino. Plaza San Luis
EAT AND DRINK
Manila is a national hub of regional cooking and has almost all the regions of the Philippines represented - either in exclusively regional eateries or featured with other cuisines. General restaurants, either catering for the working class or the elite, can offer varied dishes coming from every region and cater for almost everyone's taste palette. For example, the northern region called Ilocos has its favorite fare called Pinakbet approved by practically everyone but still closely identified as Ilocano fare. You can taste different dishes as Pinakbet - vegetable dish seasoned with fermented fish or Papaetan - tripe seasoned with bile secretion. Relleno, Pastel, Cocido or Pansit palabok (noodle dish) are other typical dishes in the area. Adobo, now considered as National Dish, it's pork, beef, chicken, or practically anything marinated in soy sauce and vinegar. Also, A very localised drinking experience in Manila are beer gardens (or The cathedral beerhouses as commonly showcases Filipino-Hispanic called). They are scattered Architecture. Other than mostly around the working Souvenir shops there is a districts of Sampaloc, Santa museum in Casa Manila. Mesa, Quiapo and even the You can also visit different tourist belt areas of Ermita and Museums such as Casa Manila, Malate. San Agustin Museum or Museum of Filipino Political History. On the other hand, you can go to Rizal Park Tour. This park is the Philippines' answer to Paris' Jardin des Tuileries or Washington Mall. Gaze at Rizal Monument, a must stopping point for Heads of State visits, the Japanese & Chinese Gardens, the National Museum, the Planetarium, the Ocean Park, the Museo Pambata, as well as the Quirino Grandstand, the oath-taking stand for Presidential inaugurations.

Murcia man has Zika virus A fourth case of the Zika virus has been detected in Spain. The patient is a man from Lorca in Murcia who had traveled to the Latin American nation of Honduras, regional health chief Manuel Molina has announced. All three other cases - two in Barcelona and one in Valladolid - also involve people who have travelled abroad and contracted the mosquito-borne illness. All of them have since been discharged from hospital. The Murcia man complained about a rash, and explained that he had recently been to Honduras, leading doctors at Rafael M茅ndez Hospital to suspect that he was suffering from Zika, said Molina. A tissue sample sent to the National Microbiology Centre confirmed the suspicion early last week. The patient has now made a full recovery, but was asked to stay confined to his house due to the risk of infection. This is not because the disease is communicable from person to person, but because there was a small chance that he might be bitten by a mosquito, and then this insect could bite someone else and infect them, and so on spreading the disease rapidly. The Zika virus comes from Africa, where it was
first identified in humans in 1952. Last year it reached Latin America, where it has been detected in 25 countries and territories according to the latest count. Symptoms are generally minor, and up to 80 percent of infected people are unaware of their condition. Patients may experience something like a flu, as well as a rash and the incubation period is under a week. The virus is transmitted by mosquitoes of the Aedes genus, very often the Aedes aegypti, better known as the tiger mosquito because of its stripes. This is the same insect that transmits dengue fever and chikungunya disease, and which has been proliferating along the Mediterranean in recent years, as well as in the northern regions of Arag贸n and the Basque Country. Because of this, Murcia health chief Molina did state that it is not unthinkable that Spain could develop home-grown cases of the Zika virus in the future. The Spanish Health Ministry has said that it expects to see up to 250 cases of imported Zika virus a year, and also confirmed that there could be Spanish cases in future because of the proliferation of tiger mosquitoes in the country.

All APAH's Cattery volunteers have been informed and APAH is following strict instructions laid down by their vets, to hopefully contain the virus until it passes out of their Cattery. This is a heartbreaking situation for any animal rescue organisation, and is similar to having an outbreak of parvovirus in a kennels. APAH will not be in a position to accept any new cats or kittens until they are advised by their vets that it would be safe to do so.

Top chefs launch global culinary award with a twist Some of the world's top chefs launched a new global culinary prize recently, aimed at rewarding cooks who use their skills to make an impact beyond the kitchen and onto society. Joan Roca, whose eaterie El Celler de Can Roca was voted the world's best last year by the influential Restaurant magazine, and Peru's Gaston Acurio launched the prize in San Sebastian in Spain's Basque Country, known for its plethora of Michelin starred eateries. Both will be on the jury of an award that was created by the Basque Culinary Centre, a gastronomic university born off the back of a revolution in Spanish cuisine perhaps best epitomised by Ferran Adria, the father of molecular gastronomy. “The key of the award is that it doesn't necessarily have to be haute cuisine,” Roca told a Spanish news agency. He said the prize aimed first and foremost to reward ‘an initiative in the gastronomic area that will be strongly engaged with society.’ World renowned chefs have for years used their fame and skills for charitable work, such as Jamie Oliver who campaigned for healthy school dinners or helped young unemployed people by training them to work in his restaurant Fifteen.
Acurio himself has opened a culinary school for underprivileged children in Peru. But the so-called Basque Culinary World Prize will be the first to reward such practices. “Every year the prize will go to a chef who demonstrates how gastronomy can translate into a transformative force,” said Joxe Mari Aizega, general manager of the centre. “It will help to highlight the work that is being done the world over - projects linked to cultural themes, social responsibility, sustainability or economic development”. To be considered for the prize, chefs have to be nominated online by a professional from the gastronomy world. The winner will receive 100,000 euros that he or she will have to reinvest into a project that demonstrates the wider role of gastronomy in society. Nominations opened last Monday and will close on 30thApril. In June, 20 finalists will be selected and the winner will be announced on 11th July. Apart from Roca and Acurio, the jury will also include Adria, Britain's Heston Blumenthal and France's Michel Bras, as well as other experts such as Hilal Elver, Special Rapporteur on the Right to Food for the United Nations' High Commissioner for Human Rights.
Post-Christmas unemployment rise
represents the greatest January drop since 2013, when Spain was still in its second recession. Most jobs were lost in the commercial (33,614) and hospitality sectors (28,4829), reflecting the end of the festive and New year holiday campaigns. There were also decreases in administrative services, construction and industry. Seasonally adjusted figures, which eliminate the effects of special periods such as Christmas through mathematical formulas, paint a better picture, showing drops in joblessness and increases in Social Security affiliations. The number of people being hired fell compared with December, but climbed 2.13 percent relative to the same month in 2015. Taking only permanent contracts into account, hirings rose 4.47 percent. However, this type of contract only accounted for 8.9 percent of all contracts issued in January.
January has kept up its reputation as a bad month for the labour market as unemployment claims rose and the number of people holding jobs fell in the first month of 2016. The end of the Christmas holiday season pushed an additional 57,247 people to apply for unemployment benefits last month, for a total of 4,150,755. However, this is the smallest January rise in jobless claims since 2007, according to Labour Ministry figures released last week. On the other hand, 204,043 people stopped contributing to the Social Security system – a measure of employment – leaving the total number of affiliations at 17,104,357. This

Balearic Island authorities believe they will not be able to put drink limitations in place in popular resort areas in time for this summer, but says a major clampdown operation on drunken and disorderly behaviour will be in force by next season. The General Law of Tourism needs to be amended to allow the regional government to place upper limits on alcohol consumption, but is unlikely to happen before May or June when the first of the young British revellers begin to descend on beach destinations such as Magaluf. Changing the law means allowing a period of time for anyone who feels they may be affected to appeal or propose alterations – in the main, this is likely to include bar owners and tour operators. The Town Hall of Calvià – an inland municipality which owns beach neighbourhoods including Magaluf and Costa de la Calma – is strongly in favour of forcing hotels and other all-inclusive resorts to keep tabs on and restrict the flow of alcohol in terms of quantity and times of day – including at meals served on the premises.

Other councils in Mallorca, including those of Cala Millor and Playa de Muro, are against restricting drink availability, but the regional tourism authorities point out that these destinations do not suffer from the same drunken debauchery that has long tainted the reputation of Magaluf, and other resort areas in the islands such as San Antonio in Ibiza. Traders' associations have always blamed the allinclusive trend for lowering the town on the Punta Ballena strip in Magaluf, since revellers can tank up at their accommodation without spending any extra before they even hit the bars and nightclubs. They want to see the limitations put in place straight away, but lack of consensus across the islands means this is likely to be impossible before summer 2017. One trade association says last year's law banning 'drinking excursions', such as organised pub-crawls, and other anti-social behaviour including drinking in the street, came in too late as the tourism season had already started, making it difficult to enforce.

ut the visitor is very often disappointed: what is on the stall may be hand-made, but seldom by the people on the stalls, most of it is imported from Third World countries or even made in small factories. And yet, every so now and then there's a real craft market, selling goods made by the man or woman actually on the stall, proud of their work, and hoping that you'll also like it. As in Alcalalí on 20 and 21 February. That's when some twenty craftspeople who live and work in Spain will set up shop in the little village of Alcalalí. Not only will they show what they make, you can also watch them at work, ask questions on techniques, tools
and materials, and quite a few speak some English. There will be people working with leather, wood and iron, people weaving, painting or making macramé and jewelry, people who love their work and want you to share the pleasure. English Tony making sturdy handbags and belts on the spot. Blacksmith Vito will

be hammering away on his anvil, Beate brings her Iberian loom to demonstrate, and José carves bone and horn to make beautiful knives, combs or original pendants. Aitor is an excellent wood
carver and Juan Carlos not only demonstrates his work on the lathe but will let you have a go if you are interested. Josef is a very skilled caricaturist and Eloisa makes three dimensional portraits in modelling clay while José Luis bends colourful aluminium wire into table lamps that look like giant insects. And some local ladies have promised to come and make lace. There will also be workshops for children, old fashioned table games and a few stalls with traditional delicacies: Valencian Toni mashes sugar, almonds, zest of lemon and a little cinnamon in an enormous mortar, to make turrón. And Felipe sells pan de higos, made of dried figs and almonds. Lurdes makes vegan cheese from ground almonds and herbs – it’s not really cheese, that's why she calls it keso instead of queso. If you prefer real cheese, go to Maria Luisa who makes many different real cheeses from the milk of her own goats and sheep. The fair is organised by Amata, a craft association that has spent the last 20

years organising the few real craft markets to be found in this part of Spain. Everything on the stalls has to be made by hand and has to be made by the person actually on the stall. It's not easy to make a living in this fashion, when there is so much competition from people selling mainly imported goods, but it can be done. Which is why you'll see here items normally to be found only in expensive gallery in the big cities, but which will cost you not much more than what you can find in the nearest pound shop. The village of Alcalalí has asked Amata to organise this fair as part of its "Feslalí, Alcalalí en flor" event, the time when people come from all over the Costa to tour the mountains and enjoy the almond blossom. The festival started on the 5th of February and lasts till the 21st, with almonds and the almond flower as the central theme. The local restaurants

are holding a "tapas route" (all tapas made with almonds), there's a photographic competition, and you can join a guided walk through de surrounding almond orchards (on Sunday the 14th at and on Saturday the 20th at 9:30 am), starting at the square in the middle of the village. The complete programme of Feslalí you can find at http://va.alcalali.es/ver/487/feslalialcalali-en-flor.html. The craft fair is held in the last weekend of the festival and apart from the stalls, demonstrations and workshops, there is live music on the Saturday in a big tent at the other side of the village - it all promises to be something to enjoy. The narrow streets and picturesque little squares invite you to take a stroll through the village. You can visit the church (18th century), housing a Museum of Sacred Art, and climb the medieval tower (guided tours from 10 am till 2 pm), around which the village grew; from the glazed top story you have nice views over the valley. The ethnological museum in the Calle Porche is open and although the village is not
very big, there are seven restaurants in or very near the centre. Alcalalí is situated in the Jalón valley (ok...switch on the GPS) and the market is held on 20 and 21 February, from 11 in the morning till 9 at night (when it starts

Cameras detecting seatbelt and mobile phone use are going up across Spain. raffic authorities have set up hidden cameras to detect whether drivers and passengers are wearing seatbelts. They will be installed in 70 different parts of Spain, mostly on B-roads. According to information given by the General Directorate of Traffic (DGT), the cameras are capable of taking up to 50 pictures a second and, if they find anyone travelling in a car without a seatbelt, will immediately send the photos to the road authorities so they can process an instant fine notice. They will also be able to tell whether drivers are using a mobile phone, and as the cameras do not need external power supplies or internet connection, they can even be located in very remote areas. Last year alone, 1,126 drivers and passengers died on inter-city roads and another 254 on urban streets – in cars, vans, lorries and on motorbikes or mopeds. Of these, 175 were not wearing a seatbelt or, in the case of bikes, a helmet. The southern region of Andalucía saw the worst figures of all, with 172 killed on roads between towns and cities. Ninety-one of these were the drivers of cars or vans. As many as a third were not wearing a seatbelt. DGT bosses say a high number of deaths and serious injuries could have been prevented by belting up, which reduces the risk of fatality in a crash by 50 percent. In just one week in October, during a crackdown campaign across the country, a total of 1,349 drivers were not wearing a seatbelt and 57 motorcyclists were not wearing a helmet, whilst a further 1,113
were fined for using a mobile phone at the wheel. The death rate has gone down, despite the number of car journeys increasing, and many fatal accidents are said to be caused by lack of concentration.
T
Drug-driving and drink-driving also play a major part, says the DGT, which intends to intensify its spotchecks this year. Last year, a total of 68,959 drivers were required to give a saliva sample to test for drugs. Of these, a third – or 22,451 – were found to have been taking illegal substances, mostly cannabis and cocaine. Over the course of 2016, at least 120,000 checks are expected to be carried out on secondary roads across the country – 38 percent more than in 2015 – except in Catalunya and the Basque Country which are covered by their own, separate traffic authorities. Again, Andalucía was the worst region for drugdriving, with 16,756 tests resulting in 7,017 people being caught, or 41.9 percent. The last drink-driving clampdown campaign was carried out across the country the week before Christmas, as is usually the case. Out of 152,795 drivers breathalysed, just over 1 per cent, or 1,758 were found to be over the limit, with Andalucía showing the poorest results yet again. Here, a total of 911,125 drivers were breathalysed over the course of the year, of whom 2.4 percent, or 22,020, were over the limit.

Local hospitals warn against ‘serious health risk’ of celebrity diets Nutritionists at Quirón private hospitals, which has a number of local facilities including Murcia and Torrevieja, have warned of the dangers of following so-called 'celebrity diets'. Dietician Dr Carolina Pérez said: “They can put your physical and mental health at risk, especially as they are not supervised by specialists.” “Weight loss is, and needs to be, a slow process and if you lose a lot of weight in a short time, you're also losing other types of tissue such as muscle and bone.You should never try to lose more than one kilo a week (2.2lb) and no more than five to six kilos (11lb to 13.2lb) in a couple of months,” the nutritionist stresses. Although 'celebrity diets' are tempting, because they involve little effort for fast results, they involve cutting out entire necessary food groups, and are based entirely on reducing calories. This means the dieter suffers a lack of energy, which the body compensates for by destroying proteins – leading to a major loss of muscle mass and ketone bodies – which are highly-acidic particles released by the liver - appearing in the bloodstream and urine. The result is a ‘serious danger’ to vital organs, says Dr Pérez.Loss of minerals such as calcium and
potassium, loss of vitamins – some of which are crucial in puberty and pregnancy, for example – serious alterations in the body such as metabolic disorders and cardio-vascular, liver or kidney damage can all ensue. In psychological terms, these diets can cause anxiety, insomnia and irritability, and can lead to eating disorders such as anorexia or bulimia. “Losing weight healthily and safely means following a personalised and supervised diet with the help of a nutritionist and a psychologist, giving you a proper dietary education and encouraging healthy eating habits,” says Dr Pérez. Diets based on high levels of protein and low, or nonexistent carbohydrate intake are aimed at reducing appetite, but are the most risky for health – they include excessive amounts of meat and animal fats, which can actually lead to fast weight gain long-term. Also, high-protein, low-carb diets can lead to chronic illnesses such as osteoporosis, kidney stones,
kidney failure, obesity, heart and circulation disorders, cancer, and overall, a higher risk of premature death. The macrobiotic diet – aimed at seeking an 'emotional and spiritual balance' through food, comprises 10 different régimes: the first five include gradually decreasing quantities of animal products and the remaining five are exclusively vegetarian or vegan. Although Spanish nutritionists are beginning to come around to the idea that a vegetarian or vegan diet is perfectly healthy if followed correctly, macrobiotic versions are highlyrestrictive in their intake of food in general, leading to deficiencies in iron, calcium, beta-carotene, protein, and vitamins A, D, B12 and D, causing anaemia, severe calcium loss, and general malnutrition.
Restrictive Another 'celebrity diet' Dr Pérez mentions is the 'Saphiro', which uses pictures to guide those who
follow it – for example, a slice of buttered toast may contain the same amount of calories as a banana or a quarter of a melon – and aims for a calorie consumption of fewer than 1,800 a day.Whilst it is simple to follow and does not ban any food whatsoever, it is not recommendable because it is purely based upon calorie-cutting. The Factor 5 diet, aimed at losing weight in just five weeks, only includes two days of strict dieting a week and otherwise includes five meals a day.This way, the dieter does not suffer hunger or withdrawal symptoms and is less likely to lapse, and the recipes for the meals involve five ingredients and are simple to make. The only one that factors in physical exercise, the Factor 5 diet is nevertheless no safer than the others – children, teenagers, pregnant women, anyone suffering depression or an eating disorder, or anyone with a kidney disorder should not follow it, because of the dangers involved in the high-protein diets consumed during the two 'restricted' days. Exercise is crucial when losing weight, because it helps recover muscle mass lost through dieting and increases metabolic efficiency, meaning the body learns to burn off calories more quickly even during times of rest, Dr Pérez explains.

The ten best and worst countries for corruption Following is a list of the top- and bottomranked 10 nations – plus some key economies in the mid-range – on watchdog Transparency International’s 2015 Corruption Perceptions Index, published recently. The watchdog uses data from institutions including the World Bank, the African Development Bank and business
school IMD to compile the perceptions of the scale of public sector corruption. The score runs from zero, which is highly corrupt, to 100, which is very clean. The equals symbol means nations share the same rank. Spain fairs better than some might think, but is still only mid-way in the rankings – listed at number 36 - when it really needs to be somewhere in the top ten.
Top 10 countries with the least corruption (highest score) 1. Denmark 91 2. Finland 90 3. Sweden 89 4. New Zealand 88 5. Netherlands 87 = Norway 87 7. Switzerland 86 8. Singapore 85 9. Canada 83 10. Germany 81 = Luxembourg 81 = United Kingdom 81
Countries in the middle 15. Belgium 77 16. United States 76 18. Japan 75 23. France 70 28. Portugal 63 36. Spain 58 61. Italy 44 = South Africa 44 66. Turkey 42 76. Brazil 38 = India 38 83. China 37 119. Russia 29
Top 10 countries with the most corruption (lowest score) 158. Haiti 17 = Venezuela 161. Iraq 16 = Libya 16 163. Angola 15 = South Sudan 15 165. Sudan 12 166. Afghanistan 11 167. North Korea 8 = Somalia 8

The movie begins in medias res as a time travelling agent is trying to disarm a bomb that explodes and burns his face. Someone approaches and helps him to grasp his time travelling device, bringing him to a hospital in the future. While the agent is recovering from facial reconstruction, we learn that he had been trying to prevent the "Fizzle Bomber's" attack on New York, in 1975. After his recovery he receives his last assignment. The agent moves to 1970 New York. As a bartender, he starts a conversation with one of the customers. The customer, John, reveals he writes true confession articles under the pen name "The Unmarried Mother". This pseudonym is explained by his biography. He grew up as "Jane" in an orphanage. As an adult she applied for "Space Corp", but she was later disqualified because of a medical condition. She met a man that she fell in love with, but later that man disappeared. It turns out that Space Corp worked for the Temporal Agency, and this agency now wanted to recruit her. However, Jane became pregnant with her ex-lover's baby. The agency broke off contact, and later her baby was stolen. Furthermore, she found out that she was intersex and that giving birth had led to complications that required her to become a man. Since then, John has been living a bitter life as "The Unmarried Mother".

Spain’s Eurovision Song Contest entry is entirely in English Spain’s Eurovision Song Contest entry has been voted upon this year and a winner chosen – and for the first time ever, the track performed will be entirely in the English language. The artist who will be performing the track is called Barei (see inset) and she composed her own song along with two other people. The song is said to include a very catchy chorus and be more of a dance number than the usual romantic ballads-style song that Spain usually enters. Say yay!, according to the singer, is ‘electronic-based pop’ with a ‘very modern sound’ – a track everyone can identify with. The lyrics speak of ‘never giving up’, Barei
reveals and is meant to be up-beat and inspirational. The entry was voted on by the public and by a jury comprising Edurne (right), Spain's 2015 entry – and girlfriend of Manchester United’s David de Gea – plus Carlos Marín from Il Divo, and Loreen, who won the 2012 Eurovision for Sweden. Yet again, the contest will be held in Stockholm, but Barei hopes to ensure it will be based in Madrid in 2017. Among those she beat to win the honour of representing her country at the popular and long-running show were María Isabel, who presented a‘very Spanish’record called La vida solo es una (Life is but one); Electric Nana, whose track was the electro-
club mix Now, Xuso Jones, with Victorious, a song taking its inspir-ation from previous Swedish entries; Salvador Beltrán, with his optimistic Días de alegría (Days of happiness), and Maverick, with Un mundo más feliz (A happier world). This will be the 61st edition of the competition and is held in Sweden following its victory last year and is the third time the contest has taken place in Stockholm. The contest will consist of two semi-finals on 10th and 12th May and the final will take place on 14th May 2016. Forty-three countries will participate.

‘You Can’t Be Serious’ is a weekly tongue in cheek look at the world through Bernie Comaskey’s eyes. With kind permission of the Westmeath Examiner.
www.costablancapeople.com
bernie.comaskey@gmail.com
They feel the pain – but do it anyway… Ted Walsh often says that a jockey is the only sportsman that has an ambulance following him around as he performs. No doubt about it, horseracing is one of the most dangerous of all sports. There is no successful jockey who gets through his career without having broken just about every bone in his body. But the jockey is far from being alone in taking injury risks. All contact sports can cause damage to participants – to a greater or lesser degree. Standing on the terrace during the recent Westmeath versus Kildare football match in Cusack Park, my eyes were drawn to the parked ambulance, tucked into the corner at the scoreboard end of the pitch. I thought of Ted and the risks that sportsmen take in testing themselves while striving to win the contest. The concussion suffered by Lee Keegan a couple of weeks ago was very much in the news – for two reasons, I believe. Number one, Keegan is such a high profile player and never far from the news; and the other reason for all the newsprint on this incident, was the refreshingly honest statement by the Mayo backroom boys who put up their hands and admitted that Lee should have been removed from the field much sooner. Fellows in field games are getting
bangs on the head in every match, every Sunday. There is nothing about these collisions because there is no doctor present and these are just ordinary players. I am not saying this is right – I am saying this is how it is. Rugby has become a very dangerous game due to the change in how it is being played and the physicality striven for. Recurring injuries to iconic players such as Jonathan Sexton and Paul O’Connell clearly pinpoint the very real dangers of the game – and tragically there are worse cases where young men have been paralysed. The fact that a great lover of the
sport, George Hook, declares that nobody should play modern rugby, places the case against way beyond reasonable doubt. But they will continue to play – and we’ll come back to that in a moment. The surge in brain associated injuries and illness in American Football players is what first focussed concern as to possible similar injuries in professional rugby. Then on the other side of the divide we have soccer – a field game of minimum physical contact: Yet if you look at all the Premiership teams in any week, there is no manager who can play with a full deck due to his injury list. The fact is that all field
sports are dangerous. Hurling does not have the same level of injuries as does Gaelic football – and yet many players are plagued with injuries. Some are horrific, such as the gutwrenching broken leg sustained by Waterford’s Pauric Mahony last year. But it is the head injury which causes the greatest worry. Most are caused by head collisions and these can occur in even the most timid team events. What about the boxer then? A boxer can take more bangs to the head in a three minute round than the two teams in seventy minutes of football. Sport is ‘war with rules’ and the warrior instinct will drive the troops into battle. It is up to those who can draw up the lines of battle to do their upmost to reduce the odds of permanent damage. But no matter what the risks involved, it will not stop players taking part. In fact, the risks are part of the challenge and therefore part of the attraction. This is not only in field or team sports. Apart from the jockeys, think of the dangers involved in skiing, motor car racing and mountaineering. None of it is ‘safe’ and those taking part need to accept the risks involved. Speaking of which … I read last week where a hiker is suing the
Irish Parks and Wild Life because she tripped whilst tracking the Wicklow Way. We better not say too much for fear the case is sub judice … but ‘lord lifting Jazus’ all the same! So is the risk of receiving an injury worth the price of taking part in a ‘dangerous sport’? I would say so and most players take their catalogue of injuries along with the accolades. Every sportsperson is a winner for taking part, even if he or she never wins a medal. The father of one of Westmeath’s greatest hurlers – the father of a large family advised me to keep my son at the hurling: ‘The only ones I ever had bother with were the ones that didn’t hurl,’ the man said. Still … maybe it was that belt on the head that changed him…?
For the next couple of weeks, the politicians will be taking the nation’s problems as seriously as some of us do those of our county team all year round.

Don’t Dress for Dinner Don’t Dress for Dinner, a hilarious farce by Marc Camolletti (who also wrote BoeingBoeing) will be at Benijofar Cultural Centre in March, performed by ACTS theatre company. ACTS was recently founded by Tony and Angela Goddard, former members of the much lamented Dramatic Licence. ‘We needed a professional drama company in the area,’said Tony,‘because the sad demise of Dramatic Licence left a huge gap in the local cultural scene. I’m delighted with the experienced and talented group of
people who have joined ACTS, and rehearsals, directed by Albert Stokes, are progressing extremely well. ‘The story, which is very convoluted, is something like this... Bernard (Ian Vallender) and Jacqueline (Suzanne Stokes) are married, but unknown to each other are having affairs with other people, both of whom come to dinner. Bernard’s mistress is Suzanne, (Robin Smith) known as Suzy, and in a panic Bernard decides to try to palm her off on Robert, (Tony Goddard) Jacqueline’s lover. To add to the chaos, the cook, (Michelle Edwards) hired for the evening is Suzette...also known as Suzy, which makes for a tangle of misunderstanding, made worse when her husband George (Michael Sheridan) turns up. If you get the picture (sort of) and fancy a fun night out with an experienced group of actors who are having a wonderful time rehearsing this play, put 17th, 18th and 19th March in your diary. Tickets are available at Restaurante Catorce in Benijofar– where early bird dinner will be available on performance nights; The Card Place in Benimar, Stevie’s Bar by the golf club above Super Valu in Quesada, and Cards and
More in La Marina. You can also order on line (collect and pay at the door) by emailing Michelle on; tickets.acts@gmail.com, or by phoning 646 277 724 to reserve. Tickets will be 8 euros each, or buy ten and pay for eight, so why not organise a group! Profits will be donated to Benijofar Social Services for those residents who are in need.

New technology for Algorfa With the advent of fibre optics in Algorfa, the Town Council has signed a collaboration agreement with a new company to install wifi provision for the benefit of municipal management in all government departments such as the Town Hall, daycare centres, community centres and sports facilities. With this agreement the city of Algorfa will save more than 6,500 euros a year - 4,628 euros on internet provision and nearly 2,000
euros on an existing wifi service. The new wifi service will allow the town to install security cameras in various parts of town. These cameras will be located in four strategic areas as recommended by the local police in Algorfa and placed in the main entrances of some of the outlying urbanisations and developments, as well as at the entrances to the town. These cameras will be used to contribute both traffic safety and the
safety and security of residents and businesses in the area. According to Head Town Planning, Fabian Rico, savings to the municipal coffers on internet provision will allow that money to be diverted to other areas, noting that the agreement with the new company has “numerous benefits in relation to the entry of new technologies that will be watching over Algorfa during the coming months”.
Under the agreement signed between the municipality and the Internet company the new provider has installed fibre optics in Algorfa taking advantage of a series of underground pipes in municipal properties to reduce work and disruption. “It is an aspect which has also benefited us because the company has not had to do any work to position the cables, or open ditches or divert traffic,” the councillor added.

3.57 degrees of separation Betty via email asks: This maybe a basic question but I have an Asus laptop from Media Markt but I cannot get on with the built in laptop mousepad and the Spanish keyboard. Can I buy a UK keyboard and mouse and use it with my laptop and will this be something I can setup myself? Aunty Says: Hi Betty. It is very simple and you can buy a USB wireless keyboard + mouse from Amazon UK for around £20 with £5 delivery to Spain. It will come with a small USB dongle that you plug into a free USB port and that’s all there is to it. You will have to go into the Windows settings to tell it you now have a UK keyboard, so email me the version of Windows you are using and I will send you stepby-step instructions. Jason via email asks: Hello Aunty. I have done something stupid and wonder if you could help. I recently upgraded from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10 but found that my printer would not install, even though I went to the Canon website and downloaded the full driver package. I was so
fed up that I clicked on “Restore your computer back to Windows 8” (which I really don’t like by the way) and guess what? My printer didn’t work in Windows 8 either! And it turns out the printer packed up way before Christmas but I my daughter hadn’t told me. So now I want to go back to Windows 10 but I no longer see the “Get Windows 10” icon in the bottom right corner. Have I lost my free upgrade because I used it? Aunty Says: Hello Jason. All is not lost as you can still get the free upgrade up until July this year. Go on to the www.enetcomputers.net website and click on the “Download Windows 10” image and run the Media Creation tool that downloads. Follow the instructions and that is pretty much it. Any problems let me know. Lesley via email asks: Hi Aunty. I recently bought myself a new laptop which has Windows 10. On my older Vista laptop whenever I printed anything a window popped up telling me how much ink I had left for both b&w and colour. This does not happen with my new one which is surprising as
I though Windows 10 was meant to be an improvement. Any ideas how to fix this? The laptop is a Lenovo and the printer is an HP. Aunty Says: Hi Lesley. This is probably due to the printer software (known as drivers) not being the full set. When you first plug a printer into a new Windows 10 computer it will look through its own list of drivers and install what it thinks is the best one, and although these nearly always work, they are usually only the basics to get you going & don’t include the additional functions such as ink level alerts. You need to go to the HP website and navigate to the support/download section. Type your printer model into the search box and look for the full software package for your printer. Once downloaded and installed you should see all of the features you enjoyed with your old system. If you don’t see Windows 10 listed then try the Win8 or Win7 versions. Any questions you can email me at auntyvirus@costablancapeople. com and I’ll see you all next week.
Update from the OARI Following the publicity in Costa Blanca People for the OARI office (Office for Attention to International Residents) in Torrevieja, Carlos Gonzalez and Carmen Morate have been approached by many of you with concerns and enquiries related to living in Spain. Rather than being perturbed by the number of people that have come forward they are both pleased to take on your concerns and suggestions. On Carlos’ desk is a portfolio of your queries including photos and maps to demonstrate where problems have been noted and what might be done to address them. ‘We’ve been approached on a range of issues,’ says Carlos. ‘Parks that need rubbish clearing and cleaning up and the tidying of green areas have been brought to our attention.’ Some people have brought suggestions too for improvements that could be made, particularly in relation to disabled access. ‘We’ve got examples of disabled ramps that only lead towards steps and stairs. We’re investigating what can be done in these cases,’ says Carlos. Other concerns raised include illegal building; particularly additions to existing properties where no permission has been given. ‘Neighbours have concerns about illegal builds and neglected and derelict properties. We have one complaint where the neighbouring house is overrun by cats and others where the
accumulation of litter means that there’s the threat of contamination with cockroaches, rats and other pests. ‘We can arrange for the area to be tidied,’ says Carlos, ‘and then send the bill on to the owners. We can also go out with an architect and check on the legality of building work. Where there are problems with rubbish accumulation and the cats, for example, we do try and find a solution first before involving the police.’ Processionary caterpillars are causing particular concerns at the moment and Carlos would like people to know that if they do find them on public land then they can inform him at the OARI and there is a team equipped to remove the problem. What we must remember is that the OARI office is for all international residents living in Torrevieja. Although the British make up the largest group of foreigners in the official statistics (8,770) they are only 17% of the total number of foreigners (51,071) and 9% of the total population of the town (98,491). Carlos is constantly dealing with a wide range of problems from people who have come to Torrevieja from all over the world. The majority of the queries received there relate to residency and access to services and facilities. For example, Carlos now keeps the bus pass forms in the office so that those wanting a bus
pass can begin the process there and receive advice. Another major issue that the OARI must deal with is that of foreigners obtaining Spanish nationality. In order to do this there is a new test which requires a certain level of Spanish and knowledge of the country and the way it works. This test is difficult and some businesses have been established which will help tutor people, for a price. Carlos would like to see Torrevieja able to provide support for those wishing to take the test without having to pay. There is a large world map on the OARI office wall and this was used during a recent visit by children from local schools. They were asked to indicate which countries they came from originally, demonstrating how much of the world the youngest generation span. The OARI office takes its duties in helping all nationalities very seriously. If you are a resident in Torrevieja and do require help or information then you can email Carlos at cgonzalez@torrevieja.eu Alternatively, you can call in between 10.00 am and 2.00 pm at the OARI on Calle Caballero de Rodas, on the corner opposite the town hall. The OARI is not a replacement for the PROP office where official complaints are usually made, however, Carlos is doing his best to help address your issues. CBP will keep you informed of how he’s getting on.
Social media giant Facebook revealed this week that there is an average of only 3.57 ‘degrees of separation’ between any two average Facebook users. The calculation was publicised in celebration of Facebook’s 12th birthday last week, using the social media giant's data set of 1.6 billion people. "This is a significant reflection of how closely connected the world has become," the firm says. "When people connect, powerful things happen and lives are changed. "We see this on Facebook every day, whether it's an exchange with an old friend that brings a smile to your face or a new connection that changes your life path, or even the world." It means that each person in the world (at least among the 1.59 billion people active on Facebook) is connected to every other person by an average of three and a half other people. "Six degrees of separation" is
where you pick a random person and connect yourself to them through other people, in six steps. The theory had become something of an urban myth but Facebook's research shows it might actually have been too generous. Although it's important to remember the 3.57 average is based on people with Facebook profiles, not everyone on Earth. Mark Zuckerberg says he's targeting five billion users by 2030 so the average may well shift again. Users logging on to the social network this week will see a video about themselves and their friends - with more prominence for the people you interact with most. "We figured that rather than having this birthday that focuses on us, we should make sure that the world focus on what's important that's actually happening," says Zuckerberg about why he created a special
"Friends Day". He added that the stories of "how people are connecting around the world" are "amazing and inspiring to hear". Facebook Messenger has also introduced two new sets of stickers called "Best Friends" and "Friendship" that can be downloaded free and used in conversations. Mr Zuckerberg, along with fellow Facebook executive Sheryl Sandberg held a Friends Day event at the company's Menlo Park headquarters in California, hosting Facebook users with "extraordinary" stories of friendship. The group included GirlCrew, a Facebook group originally created in Dublin, which empowers women to find friends and organise events in their area. There are now 22,000 people in GirlCrew Facebook groups in more than 40 cities worldwide.

I’m always wary of trying out new skincare products – partly because I have sensitive skin, but also because of the huge marketing machine behind most cosmetic brands which can make us believe a product really is a ‘miracle’ worker for aging, wrinkles, pigmentation and all the other buzzwords the ad machine throws at us. Sometimes, if we pay enough for a product, and it comes in a big fancy bottle, we succumb to what I like to call “The Emperor’s New Clothes Effect” – we want to believe it works, so we imagine positive results. It could be any old muck, but if it has luxurious packaging, a high price and a few beauty buzzwords in the advert, we’re convinced it’s a cosmetic wonder. When I was invited to try Evenswiss eye serum, I was as sceptical as I always am when confronted with a new product. I met Tanya Peters, the force behind Evenswiss in the Spanish and UK markets and she genuinely impressed me with the science behind the brand. Firstly, it’s not a cosmetic, it’s a cosmeceutical. It’s not quite medical grade enough to be branded a pharmaceutical product, so it falls into the grey area between cosmetic and pharmaceutical – cosmeceutical. The products in the range are effective based on one key ingredient – Dermatopoietin. This patented ingredient basically stimulates the skin to regenerate itself. Usually, the skin can be stimulated to regenerate – but only by damaging it first, either with chemicals or lasers. With Dermatopoietin, the regeneration process is stimulated without any damage, encouraging the growth of collagen and elastin and increasing the suppleness of the skin. That’s the science part, but what about the actual experience of using Evenswiss. Like most women in mid to late 30s, I am very mindful of facial aging. I use a high factor sun screen every day (...ok, most days when I remember!) and am careful about maintaining a good cleansing and moisturising routine. Despite my best efforts though, I have begun to notice the start of fine lines around my eyes and between my eyebrows and the deepening of my ‘smile’ lines (some
people call them crow’s feet) and forehead lines. Four weeks before Christmas, I started to apply the Evenswiss eye and youth serum twice daily – once in the morning and again before bed. I also applied some of the facial massage techniques taught to me by Tanya which help stimulate and cleanse the skin while applying the product The result? Actually, I was surprised. Some people had reported seeing a change after four days but I think that due to the ‘light’ nature of my lines, the change I saw was more gradual. After two weeks, I could feel that my skin condition had greatly improved. Instead of papery skin on my forehead, the skin had become plump. Deeper wrinkles were less obvious – but without the frozen face which is often the result of alternative procedures like botox. As I continued to use Evenswiss, the benefits became even more obvious. Overall my skin looks fantastic (...if I do say so myself) and I will continue to use the products. Curious to see if others had experienced the same positive result, I spoke to some of the ladies I had met at the demo night; some of whom were kind enough to allow me to use their photos. The three ladies I spoke to were all – like me – surprised at the effectiveness of Evenswiss. One decided to conduct her own ‘test’ and applied the product to one side of her face - here, I could see a clear result especially around her eye area. The other two ladies were also thrilled and claimed to have seen results in under a week. One had previously been considering botox but has changed her mind as now (in her words) "there is no need". If you are curious about what Evenswiss can do for your skin, I would highly recommend you get in touch with Tanya who can tell you more about the range. I, for one, am a big fan. There are some great offers on the website www.evenswiss.es and don’t forget with Valentine’s day coming up, some great gift ideas too. Alternatively, you can find out more on Facebook at facebook.com/evenswissway Aoife Leddy

Now is the time to think about treating varicose veins
V
aricose veins are a problem which can have huge health implications, but we cannot deny they are also a major cosmetic problem. Experts at QUPA advise that now is the ideal time to address the problem. Unfortunately, there is no magic pill that does away with varicose veins immediately. All effective treatments around today need to be applied directly to the diseased vein to treat the problem and allow the vein time to heal. Of all the treatments on the market for the removal of varicose veins (surgery, sclerosis, laser, radiofrequency, etc), it is widely agreed that the most effective treatment for heavily protruding veins is known as sclerosis, which involves the direct injection of medicinal agents into the vein. QUPA explained, “Treatment applied to a varicose vein until the desired result is obtained can take at least 2 or 3 months. At that time the natural healing starts and tissue remodeling is used to achieve the desired result. In our method, the varicose vein which is subjected to treatment should greatly reduce its diameter to be similar to that before it became a ‘varicose’ vein, but with a much tougher wall that will prevent the vein from re-expanding with the passage of blood. This time of year, we must start treatment as soon as possible to ensure that our body has enough time to reshape everything and repaired completely. Now is the perfect time to start!” See QUPA’s main advert on page 56 of this week’s Costa Blanca People.

Spanish drivers fine about fines
Did you know?
Only 1.15 percent of drivers in Spain are appealing their traffic fines from the General Directorate of Traffic. So, from speed demons to lazy parkers, it seems drivers in Spain are fine about those fines. The number of people complaining about their traffic fines from the General Directorate of Traffic (DGT) is significantly lower than previously recorded. In 2011, 2.35 percent of fines were questioned –
Did you know that you can be fined for changing lanes unnecessarily? The experts at the N332 Facebook page are working towards safer driving conditions for all and are keen to impart important aspects of the rules of the road in Spain to foreign drivers. One rule which might surprise you is that which governs lane changing. N332 told us, “Changing lanes
without respecting a vehicle already in that lane carries a 200 euro fine. Zigzagging between lanes will result in a 200 fine but may even qualify as reckless driving, thus resulting in a 500 euro fine and the loss of 6 points.” Explaining the reasons behind the fine, N332 told us, “The flow of normal traffic runs smoothly until such a time as the roads become congested, then it
may be necessary for traffic to use more than one lane. Changing lanes impedes the flow of traffic, causes delays and can be dangerous, depending on the severity of your actions. Causing any other vehicle to deviate from its course speed or direction means that you have become a hazard, which is dangerous in itself.” Find out more at Facebook.com/drivingspain
620
some 89,000 appeals – the number fell to almost half that last year at just 49,000. However, only one in 10 appeals was fruitful last year, with just 11.87 percent resulting in the fine being rescinded. It is thought that the 50 percent discount for paying your fine swiftly is a driving force behind the drop in appeals, which can involve a lengthy process.

Gig Guide
I have been doing this column now for 7 months so I thought it was about time I let the readers into how I got to be involved in the magical world of entertainment. As with all things showbiz, I have had a rollercoaster ride through many different areas of the business. I started off in my youth (gosh that was so long ago now) as a dancer. It was a complete accident that I started to get paid for what I loved to do, as I was a quality controller for a large department store at the time. As I got more and more gigs I found I was earning more money for a few hours in the evening than I could all week in my “real job”. The dye was set for
me to become a professional entertainer. As the years passed I travelled the world working as far afield as Taiwan and Hong Kong. I believe it was working as a dancer that made me have somewhat of a shoe fetish and to this day, I probably have over 100 pairs of shoes and boots. There is nothing like the adulation that one receives from the audience, which is why I believe that some acts do become workaholics. Once I had my equity card it was all systems go for a new side of entertainment – the world of television and films. The job can be boring waiting for so long for scenes to be set up but where else can you be paid for a job and
CostaBlancaPeople February 9th - 15th 2016
be fed superb meals? I used to do “Peak Practice” so many times that one of the lead actors told me that I was in it more than him! The joy of the job is that you meet a huge range of people, some stars others just normal folk. One of the latter got me into children’s’ entertainment as a face painter. Never thought of myself as an artist but I had a great teacher and we went on to work for over 10 years at corporate events all over the UK.
and desperately needed funds to help the injured soldiers. I ended up becoming the Regional Coordinator in Spain and by organising hundreds of events in this area not only met so many generous acts but also raised tens of thousands of Euros for the charity. After winning the Fundraiser of The Year award, I went on to produce more shows for my own business. Venues started to ask me to book acts for them and it all sort of snowballed from there.
Leaving the UK to come and live in Spain I ended up supporting an army charity as my husband was working in Afghanistan. The charity had just begun

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.

Ruben, is a 10 year old Spanish water dog, sweet natured and undemanding. He was abandoned as his owner did not want the responsibility of an older dog. Ruben shouldn’t be in kennels at his age, he deserves somewhere warm with love.

Your Week in Sport A week has passed in cycling without any claims of cheating. Chris Froome won the Herald Sun Tour which I am assured is the Australian version of the Tour de France except they sold out to sponsorship. Froome pedalled just that little bit faster and overcame his Sky team mate Kennaugh on the last stage.

Joss Buttler
Eddie Jones
Rugby is back! England, under new coach Eddie Jones, got off to a winning start in a low scoring affair at Murrayfield beating Scotland 15-9. Captain Dylan Hartley and Number 8 Billy Vunipola shared the majority of the praise in securing the Calcutta Cup. France and Italy played out an entertaining opening day, the French holding on to victory when the Italian’s missed a post eighty minute drop goal that would have seen them win. Sunday saw a classic encounter between Ireland and Wales. Ireland led 13-0, and then trailed 16-13 before Jonny Sexton held his nerve and nailed a penalty to tie the game. Joss Buttler is back and England are winning more ODI’s away from home. This will cue all kinds of false hope before the World T20’s, but hey it’s fun
to watch. Buttler smashed 100 in England’s win in the first match, and then 48 to compliment Alex Hales’ 99 in the second. England lead the five match series 2-0. England’s “new” approach to ODI cricket can often lead to self destruction, but results are certainly improving.
Rugby Sevens. The clue is in the name, right? Seven people play seven people at rugby. New Zealand, traditionally, are so good that they could probably beat most teams with six. However, why not try eight just to make sure? The Kiwi’s closed out their win against the USA with eight players on the field, and the result stands. Apparently world rubgy must react quickly to make sure it doesn’t happen again. My simple suggestion would be an abacus and a five year old child on the sidelines. One that can count to seven, of course.

The weekend round of Premier League games threw up more questions than answers. Leicester, I have a plea from the majority of the neutrals in the football world. You had better not be teasing us, please go on and win this damn title. Leading 3-0 at the Etihad must be a beautiful thing, and they went on to win the game 3-1 meaning that they now have a gap of five points at the top of the Premier League, the very same Premier League that they were rock bottom of not thirteen months ago. Has anyone mentioned that fact recently? That is six points from six points in the “tricky run of fixtures that will tell us whether they are serious contenders.” I think it is safe to say they are. That Mahrez, are there anymore words to describe him? City’s defeat allowed Spurs fans to get very excitable as their 1-0 win over Watford saw them groove into second place overnight. Trippier, massively underused this season, got the winner. With all the Leicester chat, nobody has really noticed how well Spurs have been doing. Can they keep it up to capitalise on any slips? Liverpool fans walked out in their

I am starting to think the Premier League and the FA do not get on. Yet again, following a weekend round of the FA Cup, the Premier League were in midweek action possibly explaining some of the interesting team selections in the “greatest cup in the world” just days before.
you!” By this I would assume that Koeman meant that Arsenal always look like they might actually want to win the Premier League before changing their minds and offering it to all the teams around them on a plate. The 0-0 meant that Spurs sneaked ahead of their local rivals into third place, another emphatic and efficient 3-0 win against Norwich sending Pochettino’s men closer to the leading pack. Manchester United were involved in another shock result, beating Stoke 3-0. The biggest shock of it all was the fact that United scored twice in the first half. Old Trafford has not scenes like these since the “great old days” of 2012. United still trail the Champions League places by five points, and will be patiently waiting for Spurs or Arsenal to vacate. Big Ben Afobe is already making space on his mantelpiece for the “best January signing” award. The striker signed from Wolves scored yet again, this time the winner against Palace.

droves in the 77th minute of their match against Sunderland. It was a protest against the proposed hike in ticket prices for next season. Klopp, early in his Anfield reign, criticised Liverpool fans for leaving before the end of the game, as there could well be more action about to happen. It certainly was the case on Saturday, the departing fans missing Sunderland’s surprising come back to draw 2-2 and steal a point. Villa are quietly sorting themselves out. Their 2-0 win over a dreadful Norwich saw the Canaries slip into the relegation places but Villa close the gap between them and survival to a mere eight points. It is still a massive ask, but who knows? The mere fact that I said they were relegation certaintities should give them hope that they can escape. Stoke have not exactly bounced back from their League Cup exit, which would have initially been filed under “well at least we can concentrate on the league.” Stoke were battered by the Jekyll and Hyde team of the season, Everton. Ross Barkley was instrumental as Lukaku, Coleman and Lennon scored the goals. West Ham were beaten 1-0 by ten man Southampton who are really hitting form. Newcastle’s 1-0 win over West Brom saw them sneak out of the relegation places. Swansea and Palace played out a 1-1 draw, little improvements from the team from Wales. Some Palace fans have taken to looking over their shoulders, could
they plummet down the table?
That Jamie Vardy, he only scores tapins, right? NO! That Leicester, they just whack it long to the quick lad don’t they? NO! Well, maybe. The pass from Mahrez to Vardy for the former nonleague striker’s first goal against Liverpool was sublime. That said, Vardy still had a tiny bit to do when the ball arrived exactly where he wanted it. The eventual volley from distance was exquisite and sailed into the net, setting the scene for Leicester to go and seal their place at the top of the table once again. With Aguero sealing a 1-0 win for City at Sunderland, the gap remains three points and Leicester have picked up three of the five to seven points needed from the tricky run of fixtures before them. Arsenal, having been thumped by Southampton on Boxing Day, would have been hoping for a little dish of revenge served on a cold Tuesday night platter at the Emirates. Instead the

might still cause the European places a few problems, another win seeing them comfortable in 6th spot. Villa were the victims, not helped by an idiotic red card. Manager Remi Garde has already intimated he is considering his position as he was left amazed by Villa’s inability to persuade anyone to join an already sunk ship in the transfer window. West Brom were moments away from having the “they’re in a big relegation battle now” label firmly attached to the peak of Tony Pulis’ baseball cap before Rondon equalised against a much improved Swansea.

Sunday saw Arsenal beat Bournemouth 2-0 on the south coast in a much needed half-decent performance from the Gunners. The win saw them draw back level with Spurs on goal difference and above City into third. United looked to have beaten Chelsea with a Jesse Lingaard swivel and shot, but Diego Costa broke David de Gea’s heart with moments left, rounding the excellent Spanish keeper to equalise.

TORRY DRAW 0 - 0 WITH VILLARREAL TO EXTEND THEIR UNBEATEN RUN TO 9 GAMES On Sunday Torry entertained the “Yellow Submarines”, 4th placed Villarreal C, who have had a good season so far only losing twice and were unbeaten in their last 5 matches. Relief for Torry was that the leagues second leading scorer Mario wasn´t playing as he was on duty in Segunda B with Villarreal B. The Villarreal side was full of youth players who have been nurtured in the renowned Villarreal academy. They are a club who try and develop youth. Torry were unbeaten in 8 games and were looking to extend their great run of form. They were again without key defenders Javi Selvas and Jorge out through injury and new signings Rendondo and Chupe not yet up to match fitness, although Rendondo had to take a place on the bench due to Torrys small depleted squad of players. The other new signing striker Prieto made his home debut. The Torry line up: Miguel Serna, Vicente Boix, Luis Carlos, Matej, Quintero, Martin (69 min Rafa Gomez), Higón, Burguillos, Prieto Ruben Suarez and Lewis. Not Used: Kike, Sanchez, Carrasco and Rendondo. The game kicked off on a cold and windy day at the Vicente Garcia stadium in front of around 350 supporters on the grass playing surface which was in tip-top condition. The first 20 minutes or so was like a chess match with both teams sparring but not really committing too many players forward and playing it slowly out from the back. Villarreal built up patiently while Torry generally played
it long from the back more from hope than expectation. Neither keeper was really called into action except for receiving back passes. After 21 minutes Vicente put in a good cross to the far post which Quintero got his head to and his effort hit the bar and looped over the top. The game started to come alive in the last fifteen or so minutes of the first-half with Torry starting to take the game to Villarreal. A great ball in from Luis Carlos almost found Lewis with a defender getting to the ball first and putting it over his own cross-bar. Then it needed a well timed tackle from Quintero to prevented the Villarreal no.10 getting clean through. After 32 minutes a fierce strike from Higon from a corner produced a great save by the Villarreal keeper with Quintero heading the loose ball just wide. Burguillos then had to make a timely intervention after Martin had given the ball away at the back. A driving run by Suarez and a pass to Prieto created a chance which the keeper turned round the post. The resultant corner was not cleared and Luis Carlos struck a fierce volley into the side-netting. Torry started to rack up their corner count. Another Torry corner was met by Luis Carlos with a thunderous half-volley which was blocked on the line with the rebound being struck by Matej which the keeper got his fingers to and off the post for yet another corner. The Torry pressure intensified. Just before the break Martin under-hit a back pass which was seized upon by the Villarreal no.7 who was clear though but his strike lacked convinction
and was well blocked by Serna. All square at the break with Torry getting the upper hand towards the end of the half. After 53 minutes a Villarreal player, who had been booked earlier committed another late challenge on the “wily” Ruben Suarez and received another booking and then the Red card and trooped off down the tunnel. Villarreal were now down to 10 and there was almost the whole secondhalf for Torry to make their numerical advantage pay. Torry started to exert their numerical advantage as Villarreal sat deep and relied on the odd break. Torry attacked down the flanks through Vicente
THE TOP TEAMS SUFFER…& WIN The first of the top three in action this weekend was Atletico Madrid, playing host to Eibar, who took the lead, after a sterile first half, through a Keko goal. Atletico’s reaction included Fernando Torres’ 100th goal for the club, as they eventually won 3-1.
Barcelona visited bottom club Levante in Sunday’s early match, and looked as if they would have preferred to stay in bed. A lucky break saw David Navarro giving them the lead, however, when he put the ball neatly into his own net. So it remained, with the home side coming close to an equalizer, even hitting a post, until Luis Suarez’s injury-time goal made it 0-2. Real Madrid also paid a visit to a lowly opponent –
Granada. Benzema scored a simple goal to bring his season’s tally to 19, but the home side pressed hard and the equalizer came with a half hour to go. The whites looked desperate for the points, to keep in touch with the leaders, and had to thank their best player, Modric, for a stunning late strike to get them home with three points. Meanwhile, in Sevilla, Betis hammered another nail into Gary Neville’s managerial coffin, beating Valencia 1-0. Athletic Bilbao entertained Villareal, and neither side could find a goal, whilst Sevilla, who thrashed Celta in the cup in midweek, could only draw with the same side in Vigo. In the Second division, leaders Alavés won by the only goal against Llagostera, taking them six points clear at the top, as Leganés lost to Zaragoza, and just about everybody else drew, so that some seven teams are looking likely to contest the playoffs – but there’s a long way to go! In division 2B, group 1 leaders Racing de Ferrol drew further ahead, and in group 2 Castilla’s valuable win over Real Union keeps them just behind Barakaldo, as both are well clear of the pack. In group 3 the big story was Hercules’ 0-3 win at Reus,
taking them back into fourth, whilst Alcoyano drew with leaders Villareal B, to stay in touch. Group 4 leaders Real Murcia could only draw, but stay well clear of neighbours UCAM, occupying second spot. In England, the Leicester legend continues! The midlanders beat Manchester City 1-3 on their own ground to go further ahead, with Tottenham, who beat another surprise package, Watford, slipping into second place. Chelsea and Manchester United played out a sterile draw at Stamford Bridge. Malcolm Palmer
and the superb Luis Carlos, delivering cross after cross which strikers Lewis and Prieto failed to get on the end of with the resolute Villarreal defenders and keeper holding firm and winning almost everything. As the game drew to a close Villarreal almost snatched it when one of their substitutes wriggled free but thankfully for Torry he shot straight at Serna. It is sometimes, as they say, more difficult to play against and break down a team reduced to 10 instead of a full team of 11 as they defend for their lives. That is what Villarreal did with the Torry frontmen having a bit of an off day. Villarreal
will obviously be happier with the result than Torry. Torry extend their unbeaten run to 9 games with the scoreless draw and are in 10th place in the table which is getting congested towards the top with all to play for. Torry travel to Muro next Sunday looking to extend their unbeaten run and hopefully a victory which will push them up the table. The Torry Army are taking a coach to the game.

San Miguel Golf Busters golf report Society at Villamartin Forty-seven members took part in SMGS latest monthly visit to Villamartin. Yet another gorgeous day found the course in good condition, although set up quite long. This probably influenced the results in continuation of the evident recent trend of Bronze category (highest handicaps) prize winning scores being generally less than those for Silver, and Silver less than those of Gold (lowest handicaps), with one or two exceptions. Something is afoot, whether it be course set-ups and conditions, more regular playing of lower handicappers and so consistency and improvement, handicapping being a touch awry, or something completely different and/or a combination of factors. Whatever the reasons, the last few society events have highlighted the category gaps opening up. However, as mentioned, there are exceptions and this week’s stand out score went to Silver category’s Norman Cahill with an excellent 40 points. SMGS’s 2015/16 singles and doubles match play competitions are now well
BRIAN DENT SCORES HOLE IN ONE We started the week with a 4 ball Texas Scramble in bright sunny conditions which was won with a very good score of 56.8. No surprise that Terry Field was in the team and he was accompanied by former President John Wheeler and his first lady Carole returning for a short break in the sun as well as Ellen Drakesmith. In second place was the 3 ball team receiving an uplift in handicap allowance comprising Geoff Biggerstaff, John Drakesmith and Peter Dunn with a score of 60.6.
EUROGOLF FEBRUARY MEDAL Eurogolf played their monthly medal off the plates for a handicap qualifier. Although due to maintenance work on the course a couple of the holes had temporary greens. It turned out to be a cold blustery day in total contrast to Tuesday and this added to the longer course refelected in the scores with only 1 person making par. Having changed our divisions format and prizes the results were as follows Div 1 (0-15) 1st John Fairhurst 72 2nd Pino Perito 73 Div 2 (16-24) 1st Colin
underway and several more first round matches were played. In the singles competition, Glen Rapley beat Grattan Forber at the 21st hole, having found himself 4 down with 4 to play during the regulation round. As Grattan himself said, “the wheels came off”, but good on him for being able to smile about it afterwards. In the doubles things were not so tight with Double Dutch (Theo Boelhouwer and Phil de Lacy) beating the Drakies (John and Ellen Drakesmith) 5 and 4, and MFers (Steve Higgins and Mike Frankish) stunning Ayoops (Ian Parker and Les Wilton) 8 and 6. The day’s stableford competition results, by category and in reverse order, were the following: Bronze Category: 5th Norman McBride (27 on CB), 4th Keith Stevenson (27 on CB), 3rd
Ian Parkinson (27 on CB), 2nd John Hagart (31), and 1st, Eva Leidstrom with 32 points. Silver Category: 5th Steve Davis (32 on CB), 4th Ellen Drakesmith (32 on CB), 3rd Chris Hamblett (34 on CB), 2nd Brian Mulligan (34 on CB) and 1st, well ahead in the category, and with the best score of the day and a significant cut to come, Norman Cahill with 40 points. Gold Category: 5th Robin Eastman (35 on CB), 4th Tony Smale (35 on CB), 3rd Paul Guest (36), 2nd Steve Higgins (37), and 1st, and clearly on a good run of form, Vice-Captain Theo Boelhouwer with 38 points. The Abacus was won by Les Wilton. Nearest the pins on the par 3’s (open to all) went to Norman Cahill (6), Marg Birtwistle (9), John Osborne (13) and Robin Eastman (17) Our thanks go to the staff at Villamartin golf course for their contribution to an enjoyable day.

Next week we will be at Alenda.
The highlight of our weekly individual stableford competition on Wednesday was a hole in one by Brian Dent on the Par 3 sixth hole. A photograph taken shortly after the triumphant moment is shown above. As a result Brian picked up the whole of the 2's club pot which unfortunately for him was smaller than usual as there were only 18 players on the day. I'm sure the 4 players mentioned below who scored a 2 on the day didn't begrudge the fact that they had to forgo their share particularly as Brian did the honourable thing buying drinks all round. There was only one category due to the lower numbers with prizes for the top 4 players as follows:

We recently played our societies first match of 2016 , we chose the right course as this month we played at Alenda , what a treat it was , the course was in fantastic condition , even though golf is never easy at Alenda and course management is a must , today the course had been set up with the tees further forward , but the tricky and slick greens making up for the extra distance gained from the tee shot making the putting and scoring just a touch more difficult , but this day the weather helped as instead of the usual blustery February winds it was reasonably calm , also the sun shone and overall everything was as good as it gets , Alenda always seem to be working at improving their course , a few more bunkers have strategically scattered on the fairways making you think when teeing off , however the biggest recent improvement that has been made in my opinion is by enlarging the ninth green so now instead of the tight narrow green that used to stretch sideways across from left to right the green has been taken back and given a slope and looks more like a golf green . Our results on the day were , nearest the pin on the third
hole Martin Collins , on the fifth hole the winner was Dave Ryan , Tom Gallego took the thirteenth hole and Kay Ryan won the sixteenth , all received a sleeve of three Srixon golf balls , as we had a low turnout this month we only paid out on the first two winners , in second place with thirty four points was Vincent Kinsella , our winner on the day was Barry Grinsell with thirty five points , as is usual with Busters all prize money taken on the day is paid out , subsequently both first and second received cash prizes , our soccer card winner today was Vincent Kinsella ,the final presentation on the day was made to Alan Gifford , Alan received our player of the year trophy , this trophy being won by the player having the most stableford points , which are calculated using the highest points obtained from the players best six games , these were taken from all of the games that were played over the past year with our society , Alan had one hundred and ninety eight points for his best six games giving him an average of some thirty three points per game over the required six games . For our prize giving we returned to the Mini Golf Bar which is located a few minutes
from the Quesada arches , our hosts Lisa and Rik provided sausage , chips with bread and butter which we were all very grateful , most of us had a couple of beers or some sort of liquid refreshment before going home . Our next meeting will be held at the much improved Alto Real course on the fourth of March when we will be playing for one of our two annual trophies , namely the Alto Real Trophy for the fourth time . Busters Golf Society is a small friendly group who play on the first Friday of the month , depending on the time of the year we generally have between sixteen and twenty four players , over the four years since we first formed the society some of our original members have moved on , either returned to their country of origin or have ventured to pastures , new so we are looking for a few more members , if you are interested in joining our society then please email me Barry Grinsell at ustersgolfsociety@hotmail.com quoting your phone number and current handicap and I will get back to you within a couple of days .

QUESADA GOLF SUPER LEAGUE This month we were at Lo Romero, once again even with Ian’s best endeavours we still had problems with the Caddy Master. This we could do without on a match day. This of course is Match 3 and this is now the middle game. With the teams as they lay at the moment who will jump into the lead. Obviously it could be any one of three as it has been in past years. The course was in its usual excellent condition with difficult greens and well cut fairways but very soft rough, making it difficult to get under the ball properly when it laid in the rough. The day started with bright sunshine gradually getting to a situation where everybody had their jumpers off and playing in shirtsleeves. One comment was
“here we are standing on the tee in February as if we were playing at the beginning of May”, and a little comment behind said “but this is Spain”. As the match got underway everything was tight. Some were one up, some were one down and some were three
or four up. So as I made my way round the course it was obvious that the final scores would be tight. In the final analysis, Sportsman have now leapfrogged over SMG Blue with those extra four points. This
means that the next match sees the heavyweights face off at La Serena with Sportsman hoping to keep on top. With the results in the presentation was made for nearest the pin and we all made our way home. Our thanks to the green-keeping staff for keeping the course in an excellent condition. Results and league table follows: Team points SMGS 'Blue' 8 points v SMGS 'Pink' 5 points Minigolf GS 12 points v Coopers GS 3 points Sportsman GS 12 points v Club 25 (La Serena) 3 points NTP's 5th Mike Jordan (SMGS 'Blue) 7th Les Lane (Club 25) 12th Andy Trefry (Sportsman GS) 15th Ivor Turkington (SMGS 'Pink)

La Zenia Golf Society ABBEY ANGLING The 5th round of the Abbey Angling Cup was fished at Nancy’s on the 2nd February. It looks as if Spring is on the way, although one Swallow does not make a Summer, I did see the first Sand Martin on Sunday, which is a sign of warmer weather to follow. I take the temperature of the water every time we fish a match, and this week it was 13 degrees this is high for the time of year, but did not improve the fishing, and to make matters worse there was a High-Mac cleaning out one of the canals which turned the water a chocolate colour. It was Tony Macmillan with over 4kgs who took the top spot with mainly Mullet 1st Tony Macmillan with 4.420kgs fishing the pole using the bread punch 2nd Stuart Taylor with 4.200kgs fishing the pole using bread and corn 3rd Bill Reade with 3.080kgs fishing the pole using bread 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 The 5th round of the Winter Series
was fished on the river Segura at Murcia on the 3rd February. The road beside the river is now usable, but the mud is still claggy and sticks to your boots and car tyres, its O.K. as long as you drive steady. The colour and flow was quite good although Carp bites were at a premium, with the Bleak showing well in places. Although some anglers are reluctant to fish for the Bleak they can be match winners on the day.
A reasonable turn out of guests and members for our weekly game at Las Colinas. Well it had to happen, after all the good weather we were hit with a heavy rain storm, one of greens was three quarters flooded. Some members and guests decided to call it a day. Still some of the brave players carried on, at the end we had 12 players who finished the day. Well done to them not sure if I would have been one of them. We played full handicap stableford , one n/ t/ p's, and the two's pot. Graham
Rickelton won the day with 32 Pts, on count back against Bob Watson.The two's pot was won by Guest John Pascoe. The pin No 7 John Pascoe. Due to most of the players going straight home to dry, the raffle was not carried out this week. Thanks to James and his staff for a great buffet and hospitality.

Championship Day
La Marina Golf Society - the helena and paolo trophy A return visit to las colinas to compete for the trophy sponsored by helena and paolo from the la marina social club. We arrived in beautiful blue skies which gradually deteriorated over the next 3 hours to a downpour which resulted in our final group finishing their rounds after the fifteenth hole. Although the course was in its normal pristine condition , scoring was relatively low ,perhaps reflecting the poor weather
conditions. Best guest of the day was les pirie with 32 points and he also achieved nearest the pin on hole 5. Other nearest the pin winners were sarah mccabe, graham buchanan and tim ruse. Silver winner with 30 points on count-back was roger honey, achieved with a little help from the concrete walls on two lakes. Overall winner of the main trophy and the gold prize with 31 points was vic smith.
Once again thanks to helena and paolo for the sponsorship and the after-match food. This week the society was pleased to present a donation of 120 euros to the cunningham nurses charity.
