Political turmoil to continue ■ SUZANNE O’CONNELL

suzanne@costablancapeople.com

Events in the bid to find the next prime minister continue to become even more tortuous this week.

H

aving accepted the Kings’ offer to stand as Prime Minister and making an agreement with Ciudadanos, Pedro Sánchez, leader of the centre-right party, was unable to rally further support.

On Wednesday, 2nd March, Spanish Congress voted 219 – 130 against the PSOE (centre left) leader becoming Prime Minister. Unable to convince either the PP or Podemos to back him, it was inevitable that Sánchez would fail.

This pattern was repeated during the second vote on Friday, 4th March. This time the vote was 219 – 131 with Sánchez having squeezed another vote from the Canarian Coalition. Sánchez

defended his actions to try and form a government and criticised Rajoy for refusing to do so. The PSOE leader had put together a list of 200 improvements, a list for reform that he claimed Podemos would find acceptable.

In the meantime Podemos leader, Pablo Iglesias, had made the headlines and raised a number of eyebrows by kissing Xavier Domenech on the mouth in front of the Economy Minster Luis de Guindos. Iglesias reiterated Podemos’

offer to stand with Pedro Sánchez as part of a progressive coalition. It was the agreement with Ciudadanos that Podemos could not subscribe to.

Iglesias asked Sánchez to; ‘Dare to be a Prime Minister of a true progressive coalition’ and ‘accept a coalition government like the one in Valencia in which we take the decisions together.’ He has made it clear that

Podemos are now available for further talks.

The debates on Wednesday and Friday were heated ones and although Spanish Congress remains at an impasse there are changes happening in the procedures adopted and the formality usually adhered to. If nothing else this period of uncertainty is allowing tradition to be challenged and perhaps a new way forward to be sketched.

Now there is another wait as during the next two months the parties can negotiate for a new agreement to form a government. This will be the last chance for this to happen. If it proves to be impossible then a second general election will be held in June.

With this and the UK referendum to leave Europe in the same month, it could be a turbulent start to the summer.

BITE SIZE Still waiting for the train NEWS: Prizes for local businesses Annual prizes for local businesses are handed out every year in Torrevieja. The jury is made up of the mayor, the councillor for commerce along with the local association APYMECO which looks after the interests of local traders. The €875 prize for new business goes to Qtal Gourmet a shop that has opened in the Plasa indoor market in town and offers gourmet products. In second place was La Golosa Creative Cakes which is a shop that encourages you to take away and decorate your own cup cakes.

Under the heading of ‘commercial renovation’, ‘Lilibyt, todo para el bebé’ received a prize for the service it gives to pregnant women, babies and children and the shop also has a room for breastfeeding mothers. In second place was Muebles Hermanos Garcia which has completely renovated one of its outlets.

The capirote is the conical, tall hat with slits for eyes that is traditionally worn during the Easter processions in Spain.

The hat symbolises rising towards heaven and has no connection with the KKK cone-shaped hat.

The costume covers the identity of the wearer so that they can mourn privately for the suffering of Jesus. It is also considered that it makes everyone equal, unless, of course, you are the Continued on page 4

It perhaps came as a surprise to those choosing Torrevieja to buy property that there is no train station here. What’s more, to catch a train you have to travel to Alicante.

The viability of operating a train service in Torrevieja has been a concern of local businesses for a while. However, it doesn’t look as though there will be a solution to this aspiration any time soon. The feasibility study will not take place in April as hoped for and there is uncertainty about when it will be.

uncertainty is being allowed to continue.

‘A contract has been agreed,’ says Dolón, ‘and it should make no difference whether there is a functioning government or not. The current national political situation should not make any difference to the execution of the contract.’

Dolón is to request a meeting with ministers in order to find out first hand what the situation is and when the study is likely to take place. He will also

The mayor, José Manuel Dolón, explained that the feasibility study agreed on December 3rd 2013 and formalised on April 7th 2014 had a lead in time of 24 months. This should have meant that it began this April. However, there is no sign yet of this taking place.

The railway line to be considered would connect Torrevieja with the line Valencia to Alicante. However, the exact plans for the study appear to have been vaguely constructed. The fact that Spain currently has an interim government has not helped the situation and the mayor is asking why this environment of

request the help of the Valencian government in settling the issue.

There has always been a lot of support for the idea of a railway link in Torrevieja and in 2012 more than 12,000 signatures were presented to the Department of Infrastructure and Transport. As a response to this the then ruling PP of Torrevieja requested the study but nothing much has come of this since. In the meantime most people agree that having a station here would make a big difference to accessibility and business opportunities.

Having a go at BITE SIZE Torrevieja again NEWS: It doesn’t seem long since the statistics were telling us what a poor place Torrevieja is. In July 2015 we were told that it is the poorest town in Spain with an annual average income of €7,986.

Now a fresh batch of statistics revealing the poorest and richest parts of Spain has been released. Once more, it has Torrevieja labelled for its poverty and firmly at the bottom of the list.

In contrast, it’s the town of Pozuelo that’s labelled as the richest town in Spain. This town in Madrid is one of six municipalities in greater Madrid that have come out at the top of the table. These are the areas which are chosen for residency by football players and other celebrities.

The survey is the municipal wealth and inequality survey and is published by the National Statistics Institute (INE). The study refers to 109 Spanish towns with Pozuelo having an average of €70,298 annual household income and Torrevieja €13,977.

To Torrevieja’s disadvantage are the number of those who are pensioners and do not reach the limit of having to make a tax declaration. With this group not counted then many of the workers in Torrevieja are employed in the lowest categories of earners within the retail trade, often as seasonal workers in bars and restaurants.

It’s not the statistics on their own that do the damage for Torrevieja. What is really hurtful is the way in which papers have chosen to publish them. El País, being one of the worst offenders, refers to Torrevieja as a‘run-down resort’. Perhaps what we should want to celebrate – if the statistics are right of course, is the huge leap in the annual average from €7,986 in July 2015 to €13,977 in March 2016. The statistics and the unwanted press coverage aside, there is poverty in Torrevieja. Any visitor to Reach Out Extiende la Mano will recognise the hardship that many people looking to find their fortune here have encountered instead.

However, emphasising statistics that do not tell the whole story will not help make the most of our town.

In response once more to the negative press, the mayor has announced that ‘we are poor but honest’ and that at least Torrevieja is in the news because of poverty rather than corruption. ‘The important thing is that we can hold our heads high. The numbers are not going to stop us improving the town and our aim is to change this situation.’

Meeting to decide the fate of the fair Torrevieja is an unusual town for many reasons, one of which is that its fair is a permanent fixture. Operating on the front all year round it does grow in the peak season but at least some rides and stalls can be found there all year round.

However, a new decree means that the situation can no longer continue. The attractions can only be on one site for four months in a row and must then move on. Councillor Manzanares met with the 23 families in Torrevieja who will be affected by the decree. The suggestion is that there could perhaps be two sites or more and that families circulate between them.

An other difficulty is that the fairground families will need to apply for a licence each time they move site. This involves additional expense which would be difficult for them to meet.

Another alternative to the rotating option is to categorise the fair in a different way, for example, as an amusement park.

Distraction thefts A warning from our friends at the N332 Facebook Page and Rojales Neighbourhood Watch this week – please beware of distraction thefts. A victim said, “After shopping in Consum Benimar I fell for the trick where a man told me I had a problem with my tyre, got out of the car to check and his accomplice stole my handbag. He had punctured the wall of the tyre with a very sharp knife. Another person in the car park was changing their tyre so presumably it happened to them also.”

N332 remind readers that it is important to report robberies to the Guardia Civil.

The copago or co-payment arrangement is the means by which you pay for your medicine according to your means. The theory is that the more that you earn then the more you have to pay towards the cost of prescription drugs.

Now we are being alerted by the economists that in future, assistance with paying prescription charges will be dependent on you having made a resident tax declaration even if you haven’t had to make one before.

The co-payment subsidies are given by the Department of Health and this move could force thousands of pensioners who so far have not had to make a declaration into making one.

The law requires that subsidies are declared to the tax man through the tax declaration unless the person’s income is below €1,000 a year.

This year 41 million euros has been set aside to pay for medicines for 300,000 pensioners who earn less than

€18,000 euros a year in the province of Alicante. Until last month people paid 10% of the cost of medicines up to a maximum of €8 or €96 for the whole year. Until now pensioners were not obliged to make this declaration unless they collected more than €22,000 annually.

‘The problem is,’ says Francisco Menargues from the college of economists in Alicante, ‘that copayment involves reimbursing pensioners through a grant and this must be declared the same as any other income if you earn more than €1,000 a year.’

There is some uncertainty about the details surrounding this change and the Health Department in Madrid is making enquiries of the Tax Office. In December Councillor Montón asked for confirmation of the implications but no answer has been received as yet.

International women’s day It’s the time of year when we seem to be faced with a number of converging ‘days’. This week alone has seen international book day, salt day and now women’s day.

The International Women’s Day 2016 campaign focuses on the theme, ‘Pledge for Parity’.

In Torrevieja the day is being marked in the Virgen del Carmen centre on the 8th March with the presentation of two awards. One to Aráez Maria Angeles Pérez as Women Entrepreneur 2016 and Dolores Sanchez Torres.

The presentation is followed by the production ‘Woman Caos’ or Women Chaos, which is a humourous play by women about a woman’s world and can be enjoyed by a mixed audience. However, decisions about how the day should be acknowledged have been controversial in some towns. Orihuela has asked that those entering the mixed padel tournament on Sunday 6th March donate feminine hygiene products in honour of international women’s day. A request that some councillors have considered to be both insensitive and embarrassing.

But do we really need to have a specific day to take note of the successes of women globally and are women still disadvantaged in the 21st century?The answer lies in just considering the amount of female representation there is ( or isn’t) in political parties. Had one women been

leader of any of the four main parties, might a different outcome have been possible?

If women thought the fight for equality was won then they should think again. Domestic violence remains a major issue in many countries. According to figures released in the British parliament recently, 1.35 million women experienced domestic abuse in 2014/ 15.

Another sobering thought is that in 46% of cases of partner abuse, a child was present in the household of which 20% saw or heard the abuse.

The issue of domestic violence continues to be a great concern in Spain. Locally, this time last year ten-year old Patrick was stabbed by his step father who had a history of domestic violence. There was also the tragic death of a woman and her eight month old child in January in the centre of Torrevieja.

Sexual exploitation and prostitution are still major problems that haunt our Costa Blanca towns. Esclavitud XX1 continues to campaign in Spain generally and locally in an attempt to help those trapped into prostitution.

Feminism and the push for equality may not be as popular a movement as it once was but the need for it has probably never been greater.

Spanish police intercept 20,000 ‘ISIS uniforms’

reveal whether the uniforms had been originally shipped from Europe.

Port inspectors found the military gear which they believe the senders were planning to deliver to al-Qaeda linked Jabhat al-Nusra and ISIS in Syria and Iraq.

Photographs have emerged of large bundles of militarygrade uniforms lying on the floor after they were found at the bottom of the aid packages 'The containers which carried the military uniforms were declared as second-hand clothes so as to not raise suspicions and be able to pass different customs inspections without any difficulty,' a statement issued by the Policia Nacional read.

Spanish security did not confirm the intended final location for the cargo but it is thought the bust may have been linked to the arrest of seven smugglers in Spain last month.

Around 20,000 military uniforms hidden inside aid packages have been uncovered after Spanish authorities busted a large scale smuggling ring. The camouflage uniforms were discovered inside boxes marked as second-hand clothing following a routine inspection by customs officials in Valencia and Algeciras.

Spanish police confirmed they have confiscated all the supplies but refused to

San Luis clubs together The problem of stray cats is shared across many of the urbanisations in Torrevieja but it has recently come to a head in the San Luis square as a colony of stray cats have begun to pester bars, restaurants and their customers. The problem has become so bad that they have all agreed to club together to raise money to pay for the females to be sterilised, and eventually the males too.

Jean Wardel is one of those helping to organise the bring and buy event on Saturday 19th March. It is set to start at 10.00 am with a flexible finish time of around 2.00 pm. ‘We’d all started to notice the smell of the cats and they are around at dawn and dusk,’ explains Jean.

‘It’s become unpleasant and a nuisance for everyone who is trying to make ends meet at the square.’

The town hall is operating a programme of sterilisation that saw 200 cats sterilised last year. They hope to increase the numbers this year but their focus currently is around the port area and although they would eventually get round to San Luis, the traders and their customers are keen to address the problem as soon as possible.

‘The bars and restaurants don’t have the money to do it. So we’re asking people to donate items for the bring and buy and hopefully come along and have a look at what’s on offer too,’ says Jean. She is particularly hopeful that people might be prepared to donate cakes and home baked goodies as these are always very popular.

The cost of having a cat sterilised varies and they are hoping to be able to negotiate a discount with a local vet.

‘We’ve been told that taking the cats too

far away will distress them,’ says Jean.

‘However, we don’t want to be charged the full rate.’ It is estimated that the sterilisation programme will cost €45 at least per cat. No one knows exactly how many cats will need to be treated in this way, although some people have estimated that there could be as many as 20 strays. ‘It’s most important that we treat the female cats first, but of course

residents will get behind this,’ adds Jean.

‘After all, it’s their square too and it’s in everyone’s interest to make sure that it’s a pleasant place to be. So far we have had a good response and we hope it continues until the 19th.’

If people have nothing they wish to part with at the moment and aren’t inclined to do a spot of baking, Jean suggests that donations will also be

they are the most expensive.’

If you do have something to contribute to the bring and buy then you can hand it in at any of the local bars. However, it is planned to use the underbuild at Glenn’s bar to store the items. ‘We really hope that local

It’s beneficial to learn from what happens elsewhere too and see what improvements we can make.’

The fact finding of Carmen and Carlos will continue with visits to San Luis, La Siesta and Chaparral where they will meet with Nordic organisations along with a planned visit to the Norwegian Church on 8th March. It’s felt that such meetings are important and productive. ‘It’s important we keep in contact,’ explains Morate, ‘visiting these organisations is strengthening ties and we aim to maintain permanent contact, encouraging participation in all activities in our town.’

HELP KEEP TORREVIEJA ALIGHT Councillor Alejandro Blanco has been addressing concerns raised by the PP about the state of lighting in Torrevieja.

Blanco states that in the last three months the town hall has already made 250 repairs and that by 2019 they plan to have renovated the whole electricity structure. The total cost of this will be over six million euros.

A study has been conducted of what exactly is needed and how much it will

cost to improve the infrastructure. ‘We have to put in order the priorities,’ explained Councillor Blanco. ‘We are currently working in the southern part of the municipality and it would make sense to complete this first before starting elsewhere.’

The urbanisations which are needing the most urgent attention include Torreta Florida, La Veleta, Las Villas, Las Barcas and Lago Jardin. To put things

right in these areas will cost around 3.5 million euros. The councillor assures those who have concerns about the current street lighting situation that he is doing all he can in order to resolve problems.

One area that has had a particularly large number of break downs in service is in El Acequión. Loss of lighting occurs for many reasons, along with the need for a complete overhaul, theft of cables

and breakage causes significant problems and leave residents in the dark.

If there are problems with your street lighting you can inform the council by emailing alumbrado@torrevieja.eu. This

email address can be used by everyone in the town to keep the council informed of where lights are not working.

Imserso comes to Torrevieja Imserso is the popular holiday scheme which allows pensioners living in Spain to take subsidised holidays during the off-peak period. For many years, hotel owners across the country have benefited from the additional trade once the summer season is over. Following registration, pensioners can choose from a number of different destinations across the country as well as the Balearic and Canary islands.

Now it appears that a hotel in Torrevieja has been added to the list of those establishments participating. The Hotel Playas de Torrevieja is set to admit 200 holiday makers a day. This will be the first

here, with the majority of visitors using the holiday homes which provide most of the tourist capacity.

The holidays being offered by Imserso in Torrevieja are very good value. You can book a stay, if you qualify, for â‚Ź265 for ten days including full board, insurance and all transfers. Benidorm and the Costa del Sol have made use of the scheme for many years and it is perhaps surprising that Torrevieja has not already taken part.

Hotel Playas de Torrevieja is set to offer entertainment as part of its package and there will be excursions to Elche, Orihuela and other local towns in the south of the province. InformaciĂłn

time that Torrevieja will be a possible destination.

The Hotel Playa de Torrevieja was called, until recently, the Hotel Cabo Cervera and has come to an agreement with Mundo Senior who run the programme. The daily intake of 200 travellers began at the end of February and the timing of the Imserso programme could help to address the difficulties Torrevieja experiences with seasonal trade.

Torrevieja is not renowned for its hotels. There are twelve across the city which are mostly three star and altogether have a capacity of 780 rooms.

The hotel trade has always been second choice

spoke to some of those taking advantage of this opportunity from Granada. The conclusion was that they were happy with the hotel and the service there.

Although the revenue for the hotel from the pensioners is perhaps limited, it is very welcome at this time of the year. It helps keep people in employment who would have been made redundant otherwise. As a result the hotel is keen to pamper them and guarantee more visitors in the future.

WEEKLY EURO UPDATE Brexit remains very much in the forefront of the UK media and will no doubt continue to hold a major influence over sentiment towards the pound. Whilst London’s Mayor Boris Johnson has now shared details of his 300 page memorandum on why he supports the leave campaign, Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne was very clear this week on the economic implications facing the UK should the UK population plumb to leave the EU. Sterling started the week on the back foot against the single currency having recorded a low of €1.2660.

The pound did however make a remarkable recovery at one point to touch €1.30, only to drift back down to €1.29 or thereabouts by the week’s close. The PMI’s (Purchasing Managers Index) survey releases for the UK and the Eurozone were probably the most important releases over the week. From a UK perspective the results were very disappointing with Manufacturing, Construction and even the Services all reporting declining activity levels, with the obvious consequence of such falls likely to feed into a lower quarter one GDP figure. Some commentators are saying UK growth may now dip to just 0.3% between the period January to March 2016, with confidence on the decline as UK firms hold off making investments whist the EU referendum cloud lingers over the nation.

UK’s manufacturers are heading towards stagnation with February’s result being the worst for 35 months at just 50.8 in February verses 52.9 for January. There was weak demand from the domestic market and the global slowdown seen year to date has meant export orders were also very much on the decline. Next came the UK Construction industry which also delivered a downbeat assessment. Construction activity has now fallen to its lowest level for 10 months at 54.2 for February against January’s 55.0, so British builders are still growing but at a far reduced rate.

There remain further concerns that the London

property market is now heading for a correction, with an American bank suggestion that certain parts of London property market may slip by as much as 20% this year.

Finally the dominant Services sector delivered its assessment, with confidence amongst those companies surveyed now at a three year low. The PMI reading came in at 52.7 in February vs 55.6 in January. It was very surprising to see sterling gain ground after the knee jerk sell-off after each release. Perhaps having fallen so far so quickly recently, market positioning has meant there are few sellers left for the moment, and that a short sterling market took advantage to buy back pounds on any dips that were seen over the week.

The Euro did trade at a one month low following the release of inflation data from the Eurozone, with February’s reading down 0.2% from month earlier. As inflation decline further this will most likely help galvanise the ECB’s willingness to unleash further quantitative easing measures, which have been previously hinted at by ECB president, with the March meeting being the time when the existing bond buying scheme is stepped up further.

Europe’s composite PMI’s reported growth at its lowest levels for 13 months with the index at just 53.0. European economic activity will also be hindered by the UK EU referendum, with France actually contracting for the first time in 13 months.

The single currency ended the week back above 1.10 having at one point traded as low as 1.0840. Whilst the US non-farm payrolls were fairly strong and aligned to market consensus the US dollar weakened on the basis that average hourly earnings feel for the first time in over a year, with the market ignoring the fact that US unemployment now stands at just 4.9%, but rather focused on the fact that with benign wage inflation, the US federal Reserve will now most likely have greater scope to hold off from raising US rate further this year.

Countdown to St Patrick’s Day Parade It’s getting near to the biggest day in the Irish calendar, and plans are well underway for this year’s St Patricks Day parade in Cabo Roig. Invites have already been accepted by a number of VIP guest some of whom represent local government with others flying in from Ireland especially for the occasion.

So far, a number of local bars, restaurants and organisations have signed up to participate in the parade and with a 500 euro prize up for grabs, all eyes will be on the creativity and imagination of this year’s floats.

To date, a number of fundraising events have taken place to support the parade and local business owners

have been displaying collection tins to help host the biggest St Patrick’s Day parade in Spain.

El Limonar praised in El Mundo El Limonar International School has recently been named as one of the top 100 international schools in Spain by the paper ‘El Mundo’. The school features in their list of those international schools with an overseas educational system.

Every year all assisted (concertados) and private schools in Spain receive the questionnaire from El Mundo. The questionnaire takes into account 27 criteria grouped into three blocks: Block 1: Teaching and learning programme (educational model, external recognition, year groups covered, assessment fees, waiting list, loyalty, training of staff) Block 2: Educational offer (languages, teachers’ degrees, support for pupils, guidance department, exam results, activities and workshops - both academic and non-academic, medical service).

Block 3: Facilities and furniture The school fills it in and sends it back and the newspaper calls to book a visit. Last year they did make a visit but this doesn’t necessarily happen every year.

The ranking is published on the first days of March and this is the eighth consecutive year in which El Limonar

has featured in the top 100.

The staff and leadership are delighted to be named again and appreciate the hard work of all those who contribute to this achievement.

Citrus trees are great in the garden. They look fabulous, have beautiful sweet smelling flowers, and provide wonderful fruit. And the good news is there are citrus for even the smallest garden or terrace. Try dwarf citrus trees if you are short on space. You can grow them in large pots, and even though they are small, dwarf citrus trees can produce a very reasonable harvest.

Citrus trees are from the Rutaceae family and are common in gardens all over Spain. They form small, compact evergreen trees, are usually slow growing and have a shallow root system. The best thing about citrus is that they are fairly easy to grow and need little pruning. All varieties ripen slowly and fruit can be stored on the tree to be harvested over months.

Remember that citrus love a hot sunny spot and plenty of water. If you are

planting them in a pot, use good quality potting mix and feed regularly.

Watch for pests and diseases because they can be prone to sucking insects and citrus leaf miner. But aside from these problems, they make the perfect tree for a small garden, terrace or balcony.

Planting: Dig a large hole, remove the tree from

its pot and remove any burlap around the roots. Place the tree on a mound of soil. Add or remove soil underneath to adjust the height so that the crown (the transition from trunk to roots) is slightly above it. This will allow for some settling and ensure water drains away from the trunk. Fill in the remaining hole with a mixture of compost or potting soil and the soil from your garden. Citrus trees like a rich welldraining soil.

If you are planting a dwarf citrus in a pot, use straight potting soil and fill it in to a similar level. However, do not fill the pot to the edge. Leave some room at the top to allow space to water thoroughly. Place the pot up on blocks and be sure there are plenty of drainage holes in the bottom. Do not let the pot sit directly in a saucer or puddle of water.

Water: For sweet juicy fruit citrus trees need sufficient water in the dry season.

Water them thoroughly 2-3 times a week. If in doubt if your tree is getting enough water, use common sense and feel the leaves. If they feel cool and thick, the tree is fine, but if they feel dry

and leathery, the tree probably needs a drink.

Fertilizer: Fertilize the tree with an appropriate fertilizer. Fertilizers are available in special citrus or citrus-and-avocado formulations. Apply them according to package instructions, typically three to four times a year for slow-release types.

If your citrus tree has yellow leaves,

with darker, green veins, this indicates an iron deficiency commonly known as chlorosis. It is particularly common in alkaline soils. Treat this with iron chelates (Quelatos de hierro). Mix and apply it according to the packet instructions, as it can either be sprayed on as a foliage feed or watered into the soil around the tree’s root zone. In warm weather you should see a difference in less than a week.

threatening, but it will reduce the yield. Look out for silvery trails in the leaf – that is made by the miner and it distorts the leaf. Spraying with a white oil preparation will soon control that.

Any black discolouration on the leaf is a black sooty mould. It is always associated with one or other of the so called sucking insects. These could be mealy bugs, which are small, white, furry looking insects, or it could be white fly, scale or aphids. Spraying with white oil or a soft systemic insecticide will usually solve the problem.

Pruning: Prune citrus trees occasionally. They do not require heavy or regular pruning.

Also remove any "suckers", or shoots growing from the root stock and any "wild" shoots growing beyond the general shape of the tree. These will often be long, straight, quick-growing branches that do not follow the overall form or shape of the tree. Moderately thin the foliage if it grows excessively dense, to promote air circulation and availability of light. Generally, train citrus trees as shrubs or hedges. If you would like to remove a few lower branches to give it more of a tree shape, go ahead, but do not overdo it.

Pests: There are some pests that attack citrus and one of the most common is the citrus leaf miner. It is not life

Commercial products are available but the following recipe works well: Use about a cup of ordinary cooking oil, half a cup of water and a tiny amount of ordinary washing-up detergent. Dilute with water so it is about 40 parts water to one of this mixture. Stir it and spray it on.

Remember to get good coverage of the leaves.

Keep citrus trees happy and healthy by using organic based fertilizers. These products do more than feed the plants - they also feed the soil and encourage earthworm and soil microbial activity.

If you follow the simple rules of fertilizing, watering and tender loving care, your trees will reward you with plenty of sweet fruit.

The 7th Annual Costa Blanca People Culinary Awards For the seventh consecutive year, Costa Blanca restaurants are in line to receive a prized accolade which celebrates all that is good about the dining scene in Spain. The 2016 Costa Blanca People

Blanca People, Claire Richards, said “Last year’s Costa Blanca People Culinary Awards were a runaway success with hundreds of nominations received for restaurants and chefs up

Culinary Awards recognize excellence in the local dining industry, offering restaurateurs a standard to strive for, and diners a gauge by which to choose their eatery.

Now in their seventh year, the Costa Blanca People Culinary Awards are a hot topic within the industry and 2016’s Awards will serve as a great platform for bar and restaurant suppliers and servicers to promote themselves directly to restaurant owners in a friendly and upbeat environment.”

Claire continued, “We feel that having such a benchmark will really help consumers in choosing excellent restaurants. For restaurateurs, the winning of a Culinary Award will boost

morale for staff and owners, and will offer restaurants a tangible ‘seal of approval’ which they can strive to win again and again as the years go on.”

WELCOME TO PODGORICA with Vivalia Travel

Besides being the capital of Montenegro, Podgorica is also the country's largest city, having a population of some 200,000 people. The city is situated in central Montenegro, in the scarce Montenegrin lowlands between Dinaric Alps and Lake Scutari.

The Podgorica area has been continuously inhabited since the Illyrian and Roman eras, with settlement on the site of today's Podgorica being firmly established during Ottoman Empire rule. Podgorica was reincorporated in Montenegro in 1878, when the city started to take a more European shape.

Nazi and Allied bombings during World War II destroyed much of the historical Ottoman and Montenegro-era Podgorica architecture, and city was reborn as the capital of Montenegro in Socialist Yugoslavia (SFRY). The city was then rebuilt and expanded in a manner typical of Eastern bloc countries, so it is mostly a modern planned city,

and by no means a principal sightseeing destination.

While not a typical European eye candy, the city is definitely worth visiting, owing to its interesting mix of old and new, its café culture and nightlife, and its laid back Mediterranean atmosphere. Both Montenegrin coastal cities and its mountain resorts are within one hour's drive from the city, so it is an excellent starting point for day trips to anywhere in Montenegro.

See • Old Turkish town called "Stara Varoš" ("old town"), with its mosques and old clock tower. A typical old turkish "kasaba"(town), with narrow and curvy streets. Frankly, there are only few sights in this old town, in comparison with other cities in Montenegro.

• Skaline (the stairs) on the outfall of the Ribnica river to Morača, with its old turkish bridge over the Ribnica, and the ruins of old Nemanja's town.

• Monument to King Nikola in the park across the street from the Montenegro's parliament.

• Hercegovačka pedestrian street in the city centre.

• Trg Republike the central square of the city, next to Hercegovačka street, a lot of life at the end of the day, when people finish to work. Lot of cheap restaurants and friendly people, a pleansant place to spend the first part of the evening.

• St. George's church, built in 10th century, on the slopes of the Gorica hill (hill after which the city was named.)

• Millennium bridge, the impressive new bridge over the Morača river.

• King Nikola's castle, turned into a museum (closed on weekends), and the surrounding park.

• Newly built Hristovog vaskrsenja orthodox temple.

• Rimski Trg, the square in the new part of town. Located near the orthodox temple, the square and the surrounding area is the home for the trendiest of Podgorica cafes and restaurants, and favourite meeting point for Podgorica citizens.

Albatera Mobile Home Park

Located in the Albatera countryside, the newest mobile home park on the Costa Blanca is an ideal early retirement site for the over 50s. Set in quiet surroundings, the newly built, fully legal mobile home park offers affordable Spanish living to a very high standard. The park itself is an easy walk from Albatera town with its public swimming pool and gym as well as a plethora of bars, coffee shops and restaurants. Located just 30 minutes from blue flag beaches and near the large indoor shopping centre, Nueva Condominia, there is never a shortage of ideas for days out.

The town square of Albatera has cafes and is a great place to sit back, relax and watch the world go by. Albatera also has a busy market every Thursday with fresh fruit, vegetables, textiles and gifts on sale by local vendors. If you enjoy the great outdoors, Albatera Mobile Home Park is adjacent to a number of popular countryside walking routes or, if mountain walking is more your style, a ten minute drive will bring you to the nearby mountains with stunning scenery and

excellent walking routes.

The local train service brings you to the cities of Alicante and Murcia for shopping trips or days out, and within a short drive of the mobile home park are a range of pretty Spanish villages just waiting to be explored.

The mobile home park makes a great choice for retirees and those taking early retirement. It is a quiet, rural park just thirty minutes from Alicante airport. Plot prices are very reasonable and start at just €235 per month. You are free to landscape your plot to your own taste with plenty of space to park your car.

What’s more, when you make the move, owners Chad and Jayne are more than happy to guide you through settling in to Spain and can help with paperwork, local advice and information about doctors, hospitals etc.

Plots for rent and mobile homes for sale.

Bag a bargain and support the Easy Horse Care Rescue Centre

Ref 2379

Ref 2664

Ref 2831

A newly opened charity shop at Gran Alacant has just been converted into a furniture store selling only high-quality second hand home furnishings at affordable prices.

Run by the Easy Horse Care Rescue Centre, all sales will help cover the ongoing feeding and care costs of the centre’s more than 90 horses, ponies and donkeys rescued from abuse, neglect and abandonment.

Centre co-founder Sue Weeding said the new store, located behind a much smaller existing rescue centre charity shop, is dedicated solely to furniture and is easy to navigate with displays organised by rooms.

“I felt that there were people out there who would gladly donate unwanted items of furniture if they knew someone would come and pick them up,” Sue said.

“And on the flipside, there are always people looking for good-quality furniture at good prices to kit out their home. It’s furniture for the whole house so people really can save hundreds of euros by shopping here.”

Donations of good-quality furniture to stock the store are gratefully welcomed. The rescue centre

has now expanded its free pick-up service for large donated items to cover much of the Alicante region.

The shop also offers a delivery service for large items purchased in-store.

“The shop space used to be a bank so a few weeks ago me and five volunteers went in and knocked down the bulletproof cashiers’ box to open up the space and then fixed it all up,” Sue said.

“It was a lot of work but we really feel this is the way forward for our charity shops. We’d like to open up more furniture stores and expand down to Benidorm if possible.”

The horse rescue centre, which relies entirely on donations, requires at least €4000 a week just to cover the ongoing equine feeding and care costs, with specialist veterinary treatment and rescue operations presenting an additional cost.

“At the end of the day, we have to be inventive because of our increasing numbers of rescued horses, ponies and donkeys, which we must keep taking in as we are currently the only option for police. We’ll soon be up to 100 equines and we have to find ways to continue to care for them professionally. The shops are the only way forward,” Sue said.

Anyone interested in making furniture donations can call Sue on 652 021 980. The centre is also looking for volunteers to help staff the shop, with experience in sales an advantage.

The Gran Alacant store, staffed entirely by volunteers, is open Monday to Friday from 10am to 4pm and Saturdays from 10am to 2pm. The shop is located at Ave Holanda, next to the DialPrix supermarket at Gran Alacant.

The Easy Horse Care Rescue Centre, located just outside Rojales at Partido Lo Garriga, 59, opens to the public on the first Sunday of every month between 1pm and 4pm. Free horse tours run throughout the afternoon and refreshments are available in the café. For more details and directions, please visit www.easyhorsecare.net.

CostaBlancaPeople March 8th - 14th 2016

‘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. bernie.comaskey@gmail.com

OPPOSITES ONLY INTERFACE IS BEING OPPOSITES …

It never ceases to amaze me over the amount of time, money and research which gets wasted in order to come up with a finding which turns out to be nothing more than the ‘bleedin’ obvious’ in the first place. All those scientists had to do was ask me – or any other half-eegit. Sometimes we see science catching up with common sense. The latest merging of science and sense is where the University of Kansas has debunked the myth that ‘opposites attract.’

At any level, when you meet somebody for the first time you will search for what you have in common with that person – and not what you disagree upon. Start chatting the person beside you on a plane or in the pub and you will find yourself teasing out common ground such as a mutual third party you know or admire. ‘What county are you from …?’ ‘Ah you were unlucky last year …’ (unless you are plonked beside a Dub of course!) ‘And where are you from yourself?’ …. ‘Ye had a great win over Meath’ … etc etc.

The lads wrecking a brain for a good chat-up line have a better chance with something which might interest her; and the girl who fancies a certain guy will research what interests him before making her play. The university research showed that couples are together because we gravitate towards people with similar life views. I was about to say that marriage can be hell enough sometimes even with a compatible mate, never mind an opposite … but I don’t want to risk being misunderstood by Mrs Youcantbeserious!

Professor Bahns of The Kansas University concluded: ‘People are more similar than chance

on almost everything we measure – and especially on the things that matter most to them personally. In a second experiment, the researchers surveyed pairs who had first met in college and then surveyed the same couples later.

There was virtually no change in beliefs over time.

Let this be the last warning to the boy or girl who is convinced they will change their partner after they get married. It won’t work!

Once again, opposites do not attract. In a happy marriage, both partners are the opposite of opposites. They are on the same wavelength … well most of the time!

At any local level we all know scores of successful businesses run by a husband and wife combination – complimenting each other on every facet. Then think of all the famous couples throughout history, where we might never have heard of either one had the not been in a relationship: Anthony and Cleopatra, Napoleon and Josephine, Eva and Juan Peron, and I remember the story of Marie and Pierre Curie from my English book in Johnstown school. None of these people were opposites of the person they married. Bill and Hillary Clinton is another perfect example of two almost identical mind-sets. What about Adam and Eve? BJ and PM Youcantbeserious?!

Disturbingly, the bad and the evil are also drawn to each other with an unbelievable magnetism. The Bonny and Clydes. There is a series on TV which I watch regularly; ‘Couples who Kill’. Anybody who will murder another human being is a very minute percentage of civilised society. It therefore defies all the odds

that those with that evil tendency are drawn towards and find one of their own kind so easily.

Some of these predators might never have carried out such dastardly acts on their own - but the badness is in them and seems to draw them towards the same badness in another. Would Myra Hindley have killed if she hadn’t met Ian Brady?

What alternative path might Rosemary have taken had she not met and married Fred West? We will never know. But the one thing we do know for certain is that opposites did not attract here either.

Hollywood couples would not be best portrayed for their ‘til death us do part’ qualities; therefore it is more than surprising when you look at the long list of wealthy and successful celebrity stars who have remained married to the same person. Paul Newman, married to Joanne Woodward for fifty years, famously said; ‘why would I eat hamburger when I have steak at home!’

Johnny Cash and June Carter was another perfect match and the furthest from attraction of opposites you can imagine. Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne also show that having more in common with each other is the pathway to a good relationship. One of my favourite actors, Tom Hanks, has been with Rita Wilson forever as well. This is not the same Rita Wilson that Tommy Gaffney got … although this popular Delvin couple too are another great example of compatibility and togetherness.

Happiness is your partner being told that the old ex you met on the street has ‘failed a sight!’

Who´s the Boss – BBC 2 – 10.00 pm Three British companies rip up the rule book of recruitment and give staff the power to hire a new manager. Will they make the right choice for the company and will the boss agree?

The boss at a Scottish craft brewer hands over the reins of recruitment to his entire company. Known for its punk image, love of beards and dislike of suits, BrewDog has a clear culture and an uncompromising boss at the helm. The three applicants vying for the position of regional area manager think it's James Watt they have to impress.

Beards, all you need to know...

I

F YOU WERE IN SEARCH OF A NEW, diseasefighting antibiotic, where might you start; in a swamp or a remote island? Well, how about combing men’s beards?

Science can be odd and sometimes experiments throw up the most amazing and surprising results. For example did you know that you can cut the calories in pasta by cooking, cooling and then reheating it.

The most recent discovery to hit the headlines this week is finding bacteria which appear to be producing a novel form of antibiotic and what was particularly astonishing was the fact that they were found growing in someone's beard. The experiment was carried out as part of the BBC TV programme ‘Trust me I’m a Doctor’ and the result soon had everyone talking.

Beards, as you may have noticed, are back and in a big way. Everyone who is anyone has a beard…the chin-strap, the goatee, the neck beard and the Van Dyke, they all have their fans. But with beards sprouting everywhere, like new grass in the spring sunshine, there has inevitably been a backlash.Critics claim that beards are not only an irritating affectation but can potentially harbour unpleasant nasties such as bugs and bacteria.

So, is there real evidence that beards pose any sort of health risk? Pogonophobes, people who fear beards, had those fears confirmed by a recent study in New Mexico where they found traces of enteric bacteria, the sort usually found in faeces, in randomly sampled beards. The press of course were quick to make much of the unsavoury findings; as one newspaper put it: “Some beards contain more poo than a toilet.”

But is this typical? A recent and rather more scientific study, carried in an American hospital, came to very different conclusions.In this study, published in the Journal of Hospital Infection, they swabbed the faces of 408 hospital staff with and without facial hair.

They had good reasons for doing so. We know that hospital-acquired infections are a major cause of disease and death in hospitals, with many patients picking up an infection on the wards that they didn't have when they were admitted. MRSA is a particularly common and troublesome source of hospital-acquired

infections because it is resistant to so many of our current antibiotics.

Hands, white coats, ties and equipment have all been blamed, but what about beards?

Well, the researchers were surprised to find that it was the clean-shaven staff, and not the beardies, who were more likely to be carrying something unpleasant on their faces.The beardless group were more than three times as likely to be harbouring a species known as methicillin-resistant staph aureus on their freshly shaven cheeks.

So what's going on, how can clean shaven faces be more contaminated than those with facial hair? The researchers suggested that shaving might cause microabrasions to the skin “which may support bacterial colonisation and proliferation”.

That’s as may be. But there was another more plausible explanation staring them in the face - that beards actually fight infection.

It sounds extremely unlikely but driven by curiosity experts recently swabbed the beards of a random assortment of men and sent them off to Dr Adam Roberts, a microbiologist based at University College London, to see what, if anything, he could grow from the samples.

Surprising results Adam managed to grow more than 100 different bacteria from the beard samples, including one that is more commonly found in the small intestine.

However, as he quickly explained, that doesn't mean it came from faeces. Such findings are normal and certainly nothing to worry about.

Far more interesting was the fact that in a few of the petri dishes he noticed that something was clearly killing the other bacteria. The most obvious suspect was a fellow microbe.

We see microbes as our enemy, but they clearly don't see us that way. Down at their level bacteria and fungi spend their time competing with each other. They fight for food, resources and space and by doing so,over millennia, they have evolved some of the most sophisticated weapons known to

microbe-kind - antibiotics.

Penicillin was originally extracted from Penicilliumnotatum, a species of fungus. The microbekilling properties of this fungus were discovered by Alexander Fleming when he noticed that a fungus spore, which had accidently blown into his lab from researchers further down the corridor, had killed some bacteria he was growing on a petri dish.

So could our mysterious microbes be doing something similar and killing fellow bacteria by producing some sort of toxin? The answer to the question wasn’t a resounding yes, but Dr Roberts did give a cautious, ‘yes, possibly’ in response to the question.

He identified the silent assassins as part of a species called Staphylococcus epidermidis and when he tested them against a particularly drug-resistant form of Eschercichia coli (E. coli), the sort that cause urinary tract infections, they killed with abandon.

Purifying and properly testing a novel antibiotic is so expensive and has such a high failure rate that it is extremely unlikely doctors will be prescribing ‘beardicillin’ any time soon, but the Doctor was deadly serious about looking for replacements for our current stock of antibiotics.

As he pointed out, antibiotic-resistant infections kill at least 700,000 people a year, projected to rise to 10 million by 2050. There have been no new antibiotics released in the past 30 years.

As well as our beardy findings, the Doctor’s team has recently isolated, from microbes sent in by the general public, anti-adhesion molecules which stop bacteria binding to other surfaces. They think there may be potential for adding this to toothpaste and mouthwash, as it could stop acid-producing bacteria from binding to enamel.Surprising what you can find in a beard isn’t it!

The end of the beard The year 2016 may finally be when beards come to an end. According to an interview The Times did with historian Alun Withey, an academic who will run a three-year research project on the beard and its cultural

history in the UK, people have been predicting the end of the beard since 2013.Each time it seems they've been wrong, and the beard has maintained as strong as ever in the eyes of the public.

“People have been predicting the fall of them since 2014 and that Peak Beard has been reached,” he told The Times. This time however, it's really ending. He says it's all down to the historical pattern, which, according to his data, is predicting a huge decline right around now.

There will be a backlash,”he said.“They are divisive.

There is already a backlash in the United States where

there’s a new ideal; the yuccie.”

The yuccie,is a ‘Young Urban Creative’ and Withey says this class is in ascendance, and with it will come the end of the era of beards, since yuccies prefer a “stricter, sleeker look.”They will eventually become the defining class.This trend can even be seen in our list of the best-dressed men at the Golden Globes, where a majority were clean-shaven.But don't worry. The beard trend of the early 2010s will still have its place in history.

“The hipster beard, or lumberjack beard, is going to be the defining facial hair of this generation,”Withey said.

WEIRD BEARD FACTS: • Alexander the Great reportedly banned his soldiers from growing beards, for fear that enemies would hold on to them in battle as they killed them • In ancient Egypt metal beards were a sign of godliness and status • Hadrian (76-138AD) was apparently the first Roman emperor to grow a beard • At 17ft 6in long, Hans Langseth's beard may have been the longest ever - after his death it was donated to the Smithsonian in Washington DC • Beards were compulsory in Afghanistan under the Taliban - they were banned by Albania's communist leader EnverHoxha (1908 -1985), and more recently for a while in Turkmenistan • Abraham Lincoln grew his famous beard after a little girl wrote and told him he’d look better if he had one • Bearded men are perceived to be 51 per cent less cheerful • Facial hair grows more in the summer • It is believed that men began shaving to

make women feel safer • Scientists believe men developed bears to create a more intimidating jaw line • 98 per cent of the world richest men are clean shaven • 55 per cent of men in the world have facial hair • Facial hair grows faster when the owner hasn’t had sex for a while • Between 2008 and 2013 beard transplants increased by 600 per cent • Cultivating facial hair is called pogonotrophy • Women surveyed found bearded men to seem: older, more respected and more powerful than lean shaven men • The average man spends 3,350 hours shaving in his lifetime • Beards can filter out dust and pollen if you have allergies • On average, a man’s beard will grow 5.5 inches per year.

• If you were to put down the razor and stop shaving forever your beard would be27.5 feet.

Behind Closed Doors – BBC1 – 10.00 pm With unprecedented access to the Thames Valley Police domestic abuse teams and the victims of violence they are helping, this documentary gives an insight into the most common violent crime to take place in the home. Shot over 12 months, and starting from the moment a 999 call is received, the film follows three brave women who each waive their right to anonymity to show how insidious and terrifying domestic abuse can be. The complex emotions involved when someone you love becomes violent are also exposed, as are the difficulties for police when those feelings mean victims are not completely honest. The film also exposes the lack of consistency in terms of the length of sentence given to offenders. When the police repeatedly take one perpetrator to court only to have magistrates release him again and again, the film demonstrates how the huge ordeal of going to court for these victims of domestic abuse does not mean that, in their eyes, justice will automatically follow.

Website allows users to research surname history A genealogical website has launched a service allowing users to find out more about their surnames – for example, how many people you share your surname with across the world, where your name

Janice via email asks: Hello Aunty. I do a lot of typing with Word and I print a lot everyday (a set of cartridges a week) but as it is always black & white, and most of it just for checking, can I save on ink by disabling or removing the colour cartridge?

Aunty Says: Hi Janice. You won’t be able to remove the colour cartridges without causing error messages from the printer. You can however tell your printer to print only in black and white or ‘grey scale’ and also change to ‘fast/draft’ mode. The easiest way to do this from Word is by holding down the ‘Ctrl’ key and pressing ‘P’ and click the ‘properties’ button and this should display various printing options. All printers and programs are a little different, but the principles are the same. A lot of printers will still use some colour ink even if you are only printing B/W text so maybe consider buying a €50 monochrome laser printer?

Terry via email asks: I often see your readers asking for advice regarding Win10. I changed from Windows Vista last year and found my printer would not work. My computer shop told me he had a long list

of people voicing their misgivings and wanting to return to Windows 7. He has earned a small fortune converting them back to how they were, but I see that from June we may have no option but to change and it's likely to cost €130. Have you any advice or comments to make?

Aunty Says: Hi Terry. The actual end date/price for the free Win10 offer doesn’t seem to be cast in stone anymore, and many insider sources think it will be extended way beyond July, but one thing we do know is that Win7 will be supported until 2020, so whatever happens don’t be scare panicked into the Win10 upgrade. I personally only know of a few incidents where some older computers & printers have needed a bit of tweaking to get Win10 100% working, but if properly installed with a little planning (and that is very much the key issue) Win10 is great. I found it much faster, easier to use and more stable than Win8, and I think overall it just edges it over Win7. If you don’t get on with Win10 then it is literally one click (within a month from the upgrade) and you’re back to your old Win7 setup exactly how it was before the upgrade. It’s interesting to note that

comes from, and what it means.

If you’re curious about where your last name originates from or how many other people share it, the Forebears website collates genealogical data from multiple

Microsoft have foolishly set themselves a goal of 1,000,000,000 Win10 users by 2017, so I suspect this “upgrade frenzy” has been carefully planned to help meet that target. Watch this space for any confirmed dates or prices.

Nick from Torrevieja asks: Hello there Aunty. I have 3 questions about Windows 10 that I am sure you will be able to answer. What is the minimum amount of RAM needed for it to run satisfactorily?

Is it straightforward and 'user friendly' when operated without a touch-sensitive screen? Will the various games programs I have downloaded with Windows 7 (for the grandchildren, of course...) still work? Thanking you in anticipation.

Aunty Says: Hello Nick. I would suggest a minimum of 2GB of memory, but I have seen Win10 working on one of those little net-book type laptops with only 1GB RAM. It is very user friendly and delightfully similar to Win7 but thankfully nothing like Win8. All your Win7 games will work fine.

Any questions then email me at auntyvirus@costablancapeople. com. See you all next week.

different sources and shows the distribution of surnames around the world.

The site allows users to search for their surname and see how many other people they share it with worldwide

It can show how common your surname is, how many people bear the same title and whether it originated from an occupation, a male ancestor or a topographical feature.

The most common surname in the world is Wang and the website claims that there are 76,546,675 people - overwhelmingly in China - that bear the name worldwide.

Smith is the most common family name in Australia, the United States and England, the website claims.

There are 4,299,506 Smiths worldwide, with the most in the United States - but it still only ranks as the 117th most common name in the world.

The surname originated from the Anglo-Saxon word ‘smitan’, to smite or strike, and means descendant of a metal worker, according to Forebears.

In the United States, Johnson and Williams are the second and third most common surnames, respectively. Garcia is the most prevalent Hispanic name and the 13th most common surname overall in the US. While in England, Jones (a Patronymic surname meaning the son of John, or Johan or Jone) and Williams (which has medieval origins and is derived from the forename William) round out the top three.

According to the site administrators, the statistics are not intended as definitive figures but 'best approximations'.

Alcalá del Júcar is a beautiful village in the province of Albacete, that perches precariously on the face of a chalk cliff, below an impressive 14th century castle.

Unexpectedly beautiful, hidden in a deep gorge cut by the river Júcar into the dreary flat countryside around Albacete, Alcalá del Júcar is officially one of the group of Most Beautiful Villages of Spain and yet is virtually unknown to all the thousands of people living along the Costa Blanca, and that's a pity.

So the people in Alcalá del Júcar decided to do something about it: they invited 20 representatives of foreign clubs and associations on the coast to spend a few days in the village. A couple of nights in local hostels, a few good meals, a small mini bus to take their guests to visit an ecological wine producer and a mushroom farm, admire the sunset over the river Júcar and take a look at the workshop of a local craftsman specialising in glass - it all seemed like a good way to get to know the village.

The village itself is stunning. A Roman bridge over the Júcar, narrow streets that wind themselves up and up, so steep that many of the houses just have a front room that has been built out of brick, behind which are rooms carved into the chalk cliff.

Different members of the group stayed in a variety of rural accommodation, although, as more than one of the group exclaimed, these were better than many hotels elsewhere. Some were very modern and would not have shamed an international hotel in London, and others were just charmingly modernised 15th and 16th century buildings with AC and all mod cons. Also an imaginative touch by the organisers was to ask the participating restaurants to serve typical regional dishes - and the cuisine of Albacete is well worth a try at any time.

One of the projects designed to attract visitors to the village in the off season, is to run 5-day mid-week craft courses for adults. Participants would stay four nights in one of the casas rurales, meet

each day in a different restaurant for lunch to exchange ideas and experiences, and spend a lot of time to learn how to work with glass, make felt, carve wood or fashion macramé jewellery. Courses to be given by craftsmen and women who actually earn a living with their craft and choose to do so because they enjoy their work. The people running the courses are mostly Spanish but many speak enough English to help their students, and interpreters are available. A good chance to learn a craft and some Spanish and every day there is also time to go walking, cycling or horse riding in the surrounding countryside, or take a raft or kayak down the Júcar.

This project is undertaken in conjunction with Amata, the regional craft association that also organizes for the third year running a craft fair in the village at Easter. The fair runs from Thursday afternoon 24 March to Monday morning 28 March - the usual Amata quality stalls, where every stall sells only what is made by the craftsman or woman at the stall. Several people at the fair would like to stay another week to run a course, which would run from 28 March to the 1st of April and are hoping that visitors will come to see the craft fair and stay for the course (but book early, because the place gets crowded at Easter).

If you're interested in participating in a craft course (just after Easter, or at any other time), have a look at www.workshopcentre.es. If you just want to visit Alcalá del Júcar, try http://www.turismoalcaladeljucar.com/ca tegory/excursiones/ and if you're curious about the craft market, have a look at http://www.amata.es/Alcala2015.html.

Ladies, are you at risk of a heart attack?

Read on to find out which life events can increase the likelihood of a heart attack in women and how to know if you’re at risk. Of course we all know that smoking, being over-weight and genetics top the list of risk factors. However, surprising new research shows that experiencing the following events in your life can also up your risk.

1. You came down with a common childhood virus.

Scary, but true: Between 70 percent and 80 percent of people with heart failure of unknown origin have also suffered a bout with Coxsackie B , a virus that often goes undiagnosed -symptoms can be as mild as a fever or an upset stomach - as children.

Scientists believe this close cousin of the more familiar Coxsackie A - also known as hand, foot, and mouth disease - causes subtle injury to a child's developing heart, reducing its ability to

respond to stress later in life. This may increase the risk of coronary artery

disease, say expert cardiologists.

2. You didn't drink milk as a toddler.

For kids, cow juice does more than build healthy bones. New research from St. Michael's Hospital in Toronto suggests that children under the age of 6 who drink fewer than two cups of vitamin Dfortified cow's milk per day have higher triglycerides and ‘bad’ cholesterol in childhood. That can have long-term negative effects on your heart believe paediatricians. It is also believed that drinking milk in adulthood may also protect against cardiovascular disease, but the research is still emerging.

3. You gave birth to a premature baby About one in 10 babies is born premature (before 37 weeks) each year.

Of the women who experience giving birth this way, those who go into spontaneous preterm labour (rather than being induced) are at about a twofold risk for heart disease, says a study in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology. Doctors speculate that pregnancy may act as a ‘stress test’ for the heart and that preterm labour, as well as preeclampsia, can be a sign of its failing that test. Post-pregnancy, the arteries often function normally enough for symptoms to disappear, which is why many women don't realise they still have Continued on page 46

a problem.

4. You've given birth to fewer than two or more than three kids.

When it comes to preventing a heart attack, giving birth two or three times seems to be the sweet spot. Any less or any more is associated with roughly double the risk of heart disease, according to new research from UT Southwestern Medical Centre.

“One theory is that women who have gone through four or more deliveries may experience more changes in fat distribution around abdominal organs associated with pregnancy,” says Monika Sanghavi, M.D. and lead study author. As for women who have had just one child or none at all, they may be more likely to have underlying fertility issues such as polycystic ovarian syndrome, which affects insulin and weight and has been linked to increased heart disease risk.

5. You've gone through a divorce.

A study from Duke Clinical Research Institute says women who experience a divorce have a 24 percent greater chance of heart attack than those whose marriages remain intact. And two or more divorces correlates with a 77 percent higher risk. Because she has increased responsibilities at home and in life, a divorced woman might not have time for heart-healthy habits like exercising and cooking healthy meals. The loss of an emotional support system can also lessen heart health believe heart care

specialists.

6.

You took certain medication for chronic acid reflux.

We're specifically talking about a proton pump inhibitor (PPI), available over the counter and via prescription. These medications are highly effective, and for some patients they may be the best defence against heartburn. But that is tempered by new analysis of 2.1 million heartburn sufferers which reveals that those who treated their reflux with this class of drugs for an extended period had a 16 percent to 21 percent higher rate of heart attack later in life. Scientists aren't sure why PPIs in particular affect the heart, but they suspect that the drugs may have some impact on the health of the lining of the arteries. The same study revealed that taking heartburn medications of another type, known as H2 blockers such as Zantac was not associated with increased cardiovascular risk.

7. You got terrible hot flashes.

Sweating. Flushing. Burning up.

They are the tell-tale signs of a hot flush, and women who experience many of these symptoms daily have significantly thicker carotid-artery walls (an early sign of cardiovascular disease) compared with women who have few hot flushes or none, report recent studies from the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. “We had originally thought of a hot flash as simply a hormonal issue,” says Suzanne Steinbaum, D.O., Director of Women's Heart Health at

Northwell's Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City, “but it could really be one of the first signs of a problem with the lining of the arteries, which is the first step in the development of heart disease.”

How can you boost your heart health?

Talk to your doctor - If any of these circumstances apply to you, alert your doc. They will pay closer attention to your other risks (like anxiety) and, depending on your age, may order special tests.

Sleep when you're tired - New research suggests that going against your body clock (for example, rising early in the morning when you're a natural night owl) could increase your risk of heart disease. If you can, try to adjust your work schedule so you are awake when your body wants to be.

Caffeinate carefully - Need a pick-me-up, then skip the energy drinks. One 16-ouncer can boost blood pressure and stresshormone responses, finds a new study. Regular coffee-drinking up to five cups per day - on the other hand, is associated with improved cardiac health.

Be thankful - Those who kept a daily gratitude or ‘thanks’ journal for two months (jotting down a few people or things for which they were grateful) had reduced inflammation and improved heart rhythms compared with people who didn't journal, according to new research.

Gig Guide

New is something that I love to see on the Costas. New bars and new acts. This week both are happening in Santa Pola del Este, with the opening of The Leprechaun Bar. Completely refitted they are one of the few bars in the area and are all set to have lots of live entertainment. I really admire anyone who takes on the mammoth task of opening a bar. There is so much work to do. Luckily the owners have delegated the entertainment to an expert. It makes sense to outsource this time consuming work to a professional. With more than 35 years experience in the business it

will be my job to source acts for this lively bar and make sure that the correct type of act is booked for their clientele.

Opening night on March 10th will be a special night with the introduction of Beyonce sound-alike Avril Blake. Avril has only been in Spain for a short time but has already impressed the venues she has worked in. With music ranging from Rihanna to Motorhead, Jackson to Alicia Keyes there is bound to be something for everyone to enjoy. Not only that, but there will be free nibbles and cava. Win, win there then!

CostaBlancaPeople March 8th - 14th 2016

Meanwhile over Guardamar way The Liverpool Band will be packing the venue out yet again. The Fab 4 have been coming to Los Rosales for 4 years now and have filled the venue on every occasion. The good looking Spanish group are a legend not only in Spain but also throughout Europe and have been invited many times to play in the home of the Beatles, the Cavern. Such is their pull that I even have customers who book hotels for the night just to come and see them. We will of course be having a charity raffle with Help at Home.

Competition Win 2 Tickets to see “Gaga For Benidorm Tom” on March 26th All you have to do is answer the question that is on the competition page of Lets Rock Shows website. www.lrshows.com. All the correct answers will be drawn from a hat by a member of Costa Blanca People’s staff.

The winner will be notified by email and the results printed in the March 22nd edition. Closing date is March 16th. This competition is exclusive to The Costa Blanca People and Lets Rock Shows.

Entrance must be at least 16 years old.

Other than that, anyone can enter for free. Good luck, and if you can’t wait to get your tickets they are on sale in all the usual outlets or call on 697501992 to reserve.

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.

FOUR FOR CRISTIANO AS REAL MADRID HIT FORM Celta de Vigo, visiting the Bernabeu, showed spirit in the first half of this encounter, and it wasn’t until just before half-time that Pepe’s header put Real Madrid ahead. But the home side came out with new zest in the second half, and Cristiano’s superb 25 yard strike opened the floodgates. The Portuguese contributed three more to take him to the top of the ‘pichichi’ table, and help his side to a 7-1 win. Barcelona, not to be outdone, overwhelmed Eibar at the tiny Ipurua stadium, Messi scoring twice as they won 0-4, and Luis Suarez again netting, to go within one of Ronaldo’s haul for the season. Atletico, on paper, had a tougher task, with their visit to Valencia, and it wasn’t until halfway through the second period that they took the lead, after Cheryshev had earlier equalised Griezmann’s opening goal.

Earlier, Villareal had been unable to beat lowly Las Palmas, going down 0-1 at home, to remain seven points adrift of Real Madrid in fourth, whilst Athletic Bilbao’s away win over Sporting puts them – for now – in a European spot, and adds to the Asturian side’s woes.

Leganés look more determined than ever at the top of the second division, seeing off struggling Albacete 0-3 to go three points clear of Alavés, who could only draw at home to Zaragoza, but stay a further three clear of Oviedo and Córdoba. Locals Elche came from behind to salvage a point against Llagostera, and remain just out of the play-off reckoning.

In division 2B, Barakaldo strengthened their hold on group 2, and now lead by five points, otherwise there was little change, with the Murcia teams bossing group 4, after both had wins.

In England, Leicester City look increasingly likely to achieve what nobody would have thought possible pre-season, their win at Watford taking them five points clear as Arsenal and Spurs could only draw. Manchester United star Juan Mata committed hara kiri in the form of a red card, contributing to their loss at West Brom, allowing West Ham to slip above them, after the Hammers won a pulsating game against Everton.

ALFIE’S GOLF SOCIETY 36 members and guests from Alfie's GS travelled to the lovely Las Colinas GC for the February meeting.

The course was in very good condition, the greens were firm, very fast and true and the very blustery wind made scoring very hard and points were hard to come by.

It seems a bit embarrassing to write a report about a golf society meeting that I actually won myself, but being a member for at least 8 years I suppose I was due one and the cold windy conditions were what I’m used to back in the U.K .

Winner – Shaun Staplehurst Our winner of the day was Shaun Staplehurst, with 30 stableford points.

Second place went to Kevin McBride with 29 stableford points Best Guest went to Andy Buxton with 21 stableford points Longest Drive – Sponsored by ‘The Celtic Drop bar’ went to Pavla Serakova Nearest the pin on hole 10 – sponsored by ‘The Street restaurant ‘went to Shaun Staplehurst Nearest the Pin on hole 7-sponsored

by ’Alfies Bar’ went to Steve Bicks The Blind pairs was won

by Mike Morris and Tony Hall, who kindly donated their prizes back into Alfies Golf society ‘captains’ charity fund – which this year is for ‘Melanoma ‘ skin cancer awareness, a subject which is close to my heart.

Many thanks to our sponsors, our committee for their hard work in the background, to Mike Morris at Alfies Bar and to Sandra for the very lovely after match buffet and refreshments, and to Mike Probert from Costa Blanca Green Fee Services for arranging our day.

Our next meeting of the year is at El Valle playing for the Terry Owen Memorial trophy on Thursday, 31st March.

Guests are more than welcome. First tee time at 08.45 am.

Should you want to play, please speak to Mike at Alfies Bar, La Ronda CC, Lomas de Cabo Roig or contact our secretary Gordon Cowan at alfiesgolfsociety@gmail.com.

This course was on our regular visit list this time last, but during the summer, the heat burnt off a few of the greens and some restoration work was required, well I am pleased to say that it is now returning to its former condition, so much so that we had to close the start list when it reached 48 players because the course was full and couldn’t handle any more players. So our apologies go to those members who didn’t get a game but don’t worry we have booked this venue for the first Wednesday in very month for the next 12 months. Although it wasn’t in the forecast for today we were again greeted with a strong wind, this obviously help the competitors make par on the easy par 5 first, but made holes 8 & 9 so difficult that bogey was a good score. Cross the road to the back 9 and as the wind dropped the temperature rose up into the mid 20’s which really help most players’ scores.

Campoamor has an unusual back 9, 3 par 3’s and 3 par 5’s, the par 3’s were thought to be significant today as there are 5 in total and that meant that there would be a least 5 chances to secure the “2’s” pot which had been rolled over twice already, so there was a very healthy €135 to be shared out between those lucky enough to make a “2”. Yes you’ve guessed it; no one managed a “2” so next week at La Finca this pot is likely to grow to the sum

Mick the Grip for sponsoring the day, also Antonio, Norma and staff at Imanyo’s Bar for the fantastic food and great hospitality.

of approx. €170 let’s hope that there will be more than one “2” and that it gets shared out. In the N.T.P. Competition however all 5 N.T.P.’s were won and the 5 lucky recipients of a very nice bottle of rioja sponsored by Alex and Karin Alm were; hole 4 Sverre Sonesen, hole 6 John Trehy, hole 10 Ove Cederberg, hole 15 John Hillier and hole 17 Mike O’Regan.

Tales from the Top Flight Midweek Special ■ CHRIS DARWEN chris@costablancapeople.com

Those Leicester boys. They could fall head first into a well and come up with all the pennies that have been thrown down there. They played WBA on Tuesday night and were held to a 2-2 draw, to which came the cries of “that’s all Spurs have been waiting for” and “that’s the mistake Arsenal needed to see” and “it’s too soon to completely write off City!” Wednesday night saw West Ham beat Spurs 1-0, Swansea beat Arsenal 2-1 at Arsenal and Liverpool batter City 3-0 at Anfield. What say you to all that then?

From looking likely to drop behind Spurs on goal difference Leicester led the way on Thursday morning by three points. This was the first time Spurs played under the spotlight of potentially going top of the pile and the least Spurs

like side of recent years played exactly like the kind of Spurs team everyone has got used to in the last couple of decades.

Spurs looked tired and West Ham were playing at full throttle and it was far from a happy birthday for the Poch. Still, Spurs still have a chance which is more than can be said for Arsenal.

Swansea’s manager, Guidolin, missed the game after being rushed to hospital.

Arsenal’s entire squad missed the game because, let’s be honest, they don’t know how to win the games that really matter in the league. To make matters even worse, if possible, Cech was ruled out of the North London derby on Saturday as he injured himself racing back to his goal having gone forward for an injury time corner. Nothing smacks of desperation more than that last sentence!

Liverpool put in the sort of performance that gets you wondering what damage King Klopp might be able to do in the Premier League next season

if given the tools required to improve the squad. City, possibly still celebrating the huge achievement of winning the League Cup at the weekend, were also on the same missing list as Arsenal as Liverpool romped to a 3-0 win, a win that allowed United to draw level on points with City.

Imagine if United, lambasted all season from all quarters, pipped City to fourth spot and Pep was not in the Champions League next season.

Following some almost entertaining football at Old Trafford in the last couple of games, normal service was very much resumed against Watford. Rashford started once more and was joined by another 18-year-old in Fosu-Mensah.

Both were impressive again, but it was left to Juan Mata to steal all three points with seven minutes remaining. As previously mentioned, this moved United level on points with City, albeit City having a game in hand.

Tuesday night’s matches had an impact

on Wednesday night’s at both ends of the table.

Sunderland fought back to grab a point at home to Palace. Norwich continued their nosedive towards relegation by losing at home to Chelsea, who must now be pretty confident in their own ability to avoid the drop.

Villa managed to score, hurrah, but also managed to concede three at home to Everton and Bournemouth turned over Southampton 2-0 in some kind of South Coast derby.

Sunderland’s point clawed them above Norwich and out of the drop zone, and

with Swansea beating Arsenal it meant Newcastle could really, really not afford to lose at Stoke. Oh. Shaqiri condemned Steve Mc to yet another defeat. In the last calendar year, McLaren has one of the worst records in England for someone that has held a job in the last calendar year. Hey, I don’t just make these stats up you know.

Sunderland, Norwich and Newcastle all entered the weekend’s games sitting on 24 points, and a mere four goals separating them on goal difference. Tight is the word you are looking for.

Tales from the Top Flight YOUR WEEK IN SPORT ■ CHRIS DARWEN chris@costablancapeople.com

That Claudio Ranieri. He must have put some kind of spell on the teams around Leicester City.

Tuesday night, as you will have learned from reading the midweek special, saw Leicester

drop two points against WBA. No bother, Claudio had already mystically arranged for Spurs, City and Arsenal to lose! The North London derby was the early kick off on Saturday and there was only one result that would really suit Leicester down to the ground.

Claudio likes entertainment, so he would never have wished for a 00. No, the suave Italian is much more of an end to end 2-2 kind of guy when dishing out treats to the public, and maybe throw a red card in there too hey Claudio?

Arsenal led, then Coquelin was shown a second yellow card. His first was probably harsh, considering he had been fouled first, but Claudio’s spell said drama. Alderweireld equalise and then Harry Kane scored a beauty to send Tottenham top of the league. But no, wait! Arsenal finally found a little bit of that bottle they had misplaced in the last fortnight to steal an equaliser.

Sanchez netted his first league goal since October to give the Leicester fans what they wanted.

A point was great for the Foxes, but they still had to end Saturday’s matches with their own right result. Now would not be a good time for teams to have

worked out how to stop the Leicester juggernaut and for the third game running it looked like the leaders might struggle to find the win. Without stating the obvious, to win the title you need match winners when it is going against you and Leicester have one very special talent in Riyad Mahrez. Ten minutes into the second half the ball fell to him on the edge of the area. A lesser player, say Rooney for example, would have thumped it first time.

Mahrez brought it under, shimmied in a way that you would only see on Strictly and then curled it delightfully into the top corner. That was all they needed to go five points clear.

Of course, the Premier League is not just about Leicester no matter how much I talk about them. There are a few other teams in certain predicaments that need a mention. How about Villa? That will cheer a few people up. Many people were left tearing their betting slips up in a rage following Villa’s 4-0 defeat to City.

In a rage, you ask? Yes, as most people will have bet on City winning by at least six! The win for City puts them in reach of Arsenal if they win their game in hand.

Will Steve McLaren still have a job by the time you read this?

Newcastle’s manager/director was on the receiving end of a 3-1 drubbing by Bournemouth followed by some choice words from the majority of the St James Park faithful. Mike Ashley must be working out whether to stick or twist with the club sitting second bottom with a game in hand. The caveat is that winning the game in hand would see them move out of the relegation zone. Norwich are in even worse form than Newcastle, losing 1-0 to Swansea.

The victory for Swansea, like Bournemouth, was another huge step to safety with the gap now being eight points with nine to play. Sunderland must have felt they had earned a huge three

points away to Southampton before the magnificently named Virgil van Dijk thumped home a late leveller. The single point sees Sunderland sit marginally above the drop zone.

If you want value for money, go and watch Everton play. 2-0 up, even with ten men after Mirallis was sent off, should normally be enough for most teams to guarantee a win. Not Everton, oh no. They wanted to give Slaven Bilic a happy memory in his first dugout return to the club he played for, letting West Ham battle their way back (and I use battle in it’s loosest sense) to a 3-2 victory. The Hammers sit fifth, a mere point behind City.

Chelsea are apparently unbeaten in the league under Guus. A 1-1 draw with Stoke continued that run and saw the Champions finally appear in the top half of the table.

Here’s a little fun fact for you.

On Christmas Day, Crystal Palace were level on points with the top four. Now they are level on points with Swansea. They are falling faster than Christian Bentenke did under a Damian Delaney challenge in injury time. Pardew says he dived, but Delaney gave him the option of hitting the deck.

Bentenke got up as quickly as he fell over to score the penalty and give Liverpool their first win at Selhurst Park since 1993.

If you get a chance, watch Juan Mata pick up two yellow cards against WBA. There were just 158 seconds between the two, and both were pretty foolish. Twenty six minutes had been played when Mata decided he would rather watch the somewhat underwhelming 1-0 defeat from the bench. Who can blame him, United are scintillating to watch and WBA are the West Country Barcelona at times. Rondon got the only goal in a 1-0 win for WBA, a win that cut short the “Manchester United might just end up in the Champions League places” revival.

A busy sports week this week folks, so grab a coffee and get comfortable. First up, horse “racing”. Now, I know little about the sport of kings. I openly admit this. However, I do know one thing. If you are trying to convert from riding a bike to riding a horse and are doing it very much in the public eye then you had better be good at it, otherwise there is a chance you might face a few cynics or, even, public ridicule. Victoria Pendleton fell of her horse again, I will let you decide whether it is worth backing her at Cheltenham.

Do you remember a few months back when it was all about Conor McGregor. Conor

McGregor, that fellow from UFC. UFC, that sport where they beat each other up really hard. Yes, him. Well he lost the world title on Saturday night to a guy called Nate Diaz. He did this in a move that can only be described as virtually strangling the Irishman.

McGregor had stepped up a weight and Diaz was 10lbs heavier and 4 inches taller.

Would you pick a fight with someone that much bigger?

Anyway, in a night of shocks Holly Holm also lost her title.

Jason Kenny was back doing what Jason Kenny does on a bike.

Namely, absolutely nothing for three years and then hit perfect form in Olympic year. The cyclist claimed a rare world title, leaving him perfectly poised to defend his gold medal in Rio. The outspoken Mark Cavendish may not even make the team. The man from Manx has been criticised for trying to win a place on the track team whilst splitting his time with road races. The selectors were clear, to stand a chance of being in Rio he needed to win a medal. He failed in his main event but then joined forces with Sir Bradley Wiggins.

Despite Cavendish crashing with 11 laps remaining, the pair regained their composure to win back the title they first claimed in 2008. What will the selectors do I wonder?

On Sunday morning, just the final 18 holes sat between Rory McIlroy and a feat only achieved

by Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods before him. 12 PGA Tour titles before the age of 27 is apparently quite rare, so at 26 and 10 months this was probably Rory’s last chance. Pressure can be bit of a nuisance in sport and McIlroy lost his four-shot lead to hand the title, and the chance of

history, over to Adam Scott.

Scott, 35, now has 13 PGA titles.

Going into the final day, Andy Murray’s GB tennis team led Japan 2-1 in their first defence of the Davis Cup. The fourth rubber was an epic. Murray finally defeated Kei Nishikori after four hours and five thrilling sets, seeing GB home 3-1. The victory sees Great Britain paired with Serbia in the quarter finals, a week after Wimbledon finishes.

Or, as I should more accurately say, a week after the Serbian Djokovic upsets the entire British public by beating Andy Murray in the Wimbledon final.

There are not many sports, annoyingly, that the Australians don’t win at some point.

Heavyweight boxing was always one that they had failed to achieve in. Until now. Lucas Browne is Australia’s first ever boxing heavyweight champion of the world, winning the WBA belt from Russian Ruslan Chagaev. According to Browne’s manager, it was a “Rocky moment.” Come back to me in twenty five years when Browne is trying to make another comeback when clearly too old to play the part, then I will believe his story is similar to Rocky Balboa’s.

ABBEY ANGLING

This week we fished the 9th and penultimate round of the Abbey Angling Cup at the El Bosquet Complex on the 1st March.

This is queer water, because if we have had rain two days prior to a match, the fish seem reluctant to feed as they normally would.

Richard King drew the hot peg but missed out on first place by being broken regularly which resulted in him loosing out on some big fish. The Mullet made up the backing weights and bread punch, maggot and corn on the pole were the main methods of the day 1st Lennie Bolton with 12.560kgs fishing the pole using maggot and corn 2nd Richard King with 8.780kgs fishing the pole using maggot 3rd Dave Hoare with 4.700kgs fishing the pole using bread and maggot 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

to the fact they seem to be bank clearing up stream, as there were a lot of dead reeds floating down which affected the feeder fishing.

This did not stop the Bleak feeding with Dave Hoare fishing for them from the start of the match, and he broke the currant record of 10.800kgs with an impressive catch of 11.300kgs (well done!!)

TORRY WELL BEATEN BY ORIUELA IN LOCAL DERBY On Sunday Torry made the short trip to Orihuela to play the “local Derby” match against a side which before the game were 1 point and 1 place higher than Torry in the table. Their home record was decent with 8 wins, 2 draws and 4 defeats.

In their squad were ex Torry players Alexis, Ernesto and Samu. Orihuela were looking to avenge their 2 – 0 loss to Torry earlier in the season.

Torry were looking to get back to winning ways after the 3 – 0 loss to Crevillente the previous weekend.

Manager Pedreno had a full squad at his disposal except for the injured Jorge. He made a couple of changes to the side bringing in Sanchez for Quintero and Lewis for Prieto. A more attacking line-up in a quest for goals.

The Torry line up: Miguel Serna, Vicente Boix, Luis Carlos, Javi Selvas, Martin (Matej 45 '), Burguillos ©, Higón, Sánchez, Rafa Gomez (Prieto 55'), Ruben Suarez (Carrasco 76 ') and Lewis. Not used: Quique and Chupe.

The game kicked of at tea-time with the sun out with a cold wind blowing in front of a good crowd in excess of 600 including a few Torry followers. Torry got off to the worst possible start when after 3 minutes Rafa Gomez lost the ball to Raul on the edge of his own penalty area and Raul took the ball on and drilled a hard low drive into the bottom corner of the net to put Orihuela in front. That gave confidence to Orihuela but dented the confidence of Torry. Orihuela played with a spring in their steps and were generally first to the ball. As the half progressed

Torry came more into the game but didn´t really trouble the Orihuela keeper.

Luis Carlos had a couple of efforts after being played in and so did Lewis but nothing doing. Torry lost probably their best player of the first half Martin to injury and young Croatian Matej replaced him for the second half. Lewis had a good chance blocked by the Orihuela keeper after a good cross from Ruben Suarez.

After 10 minutes of the second half another major blow to Torry when Luis Carlos tried to shield the ball out of play but was out-muscled to it by dangerous winger Juanjo who drove in a hard low cross which forward Chema got to in front of Matej and fired the ball into the net from close range. 10 minutes later it was game, set and match to Orihuela when Theo hit a superb direct free-kick into the

top corner of the Torry net with Serna rooted to his line. Lewis had the chance to score a consolation goal for Torry after being set up by Prieto but blazed over from a very good position. The game played out to its conclusion with Orihuela finishing worthy winners. Another bad day at the office for Torry. Cautions were picked up by Torry players, Javi Selvas Lewis, Vicente and Matej.

After back to back 2-0 defeats on the road Torry return to the Vicente Garcia next Sunday to play high flyers Elche Ilicitano. It will be a tough game and Torry need to up the ante and their performance levels and entertain and get a result in front of their followers. The game kicks off at 5.00 pm Darrylldinho

El Valle G.S. holds the top spot and have a commanding lead took on La Manga RGA, who are always a strong side, and look to reducing the lead, so El Valle look to have a tough time. La Manga showed their metal by holding the leaders to a draw, but could not do enough to deprive them on the bonus points The other La Manga team, North, were just above bottom spot and took on the holders of that position Rockets G.S. It is quite a picture with the La Manga teams they are sartorially well turned out, this time it was the pairing of the North team Rolf Pichl and Niek Bastiaan in bright orange trousers. Not only did they look the business on the course they were the third highest scorers and helped the team to a 4 – 0 win and highest team score. Must be something in being Tangoed!

RESULTS La Manga RGA 2 (136 points) vs. El Valle G S 2 (156 points) Rockets G S 0 (137 points) vs. La Manga North 4 (163 points) Bonus points went to:- El Valle G S and La Manga North The updated League table for the 2015/16 season is: The highest pairing scores for the second time in succession came from: El Valle G.S. – Danny Totten/Kevin Grenier with 44 points, the score was equalled by La

Manga North pairing of Patrick Field and Robin Fish.

NTP: Hole 5 & 7: Patrick Field. - La Manga North Longest Drive Men: Mike Pearce – El Valle GS Longest Drive Ladies: Karen Lowe – La Manga RGA With just one series of matches left to be played on “all fools” day. One thing is certain is that El Valle will be in the Singles Matchplay Final on May 20th at Villamartin Golf for the VBPGL Trophy.

The last round matches of the season for the South Division are on Friday 1st

Rockets G S vs. La Manga North

April at Hacienda Riquelme Golf Resort 10:06 First Tee time. Who will join them in second place is anybody’s guess, but the two La Manga sides play each other.
