NEW LIGHTS LEAVE RESIDENTS IN THE DARK

‘‘

THE MAIN THOROUGHFARE, AVENIDA ANTONIO QUESADA, LOOKED EXCELLENT WITH THE NEW LIGHTS AND THE COMPANY DID A FIRST CLASS JOB...

180,000 euros by a company called Constructora Illumin-aciones Granja SL. The project was due to take three months and although there are a couple of streets that remain unchanged, seemed to go well and be completed pretty much on time and budget. Resident Mike said: “The main thoroughfare, Avenida Antonio Quesada, looked excellent with the new lights and the company did a first class job. However, unfortunately just a month on, I found myself approaching the town hall in Quesada to report several lights not working on the roundabout just up from the La Laguna Hotel, the roundabout

where the new church is situated. “That was three weeks ago and nothing has been done and now there are at least a further 10 lights out between this roundabout and the next one going towards Quesada.” Residents are concerned that apart from the council spending a vast amount of taxpayers money to improve a highly sort-after area, the situation of having a roundabout in complete darkness is extremely dangerous, not only to motorists but to pedestrians as well. This situation will only get worse as more lights fail and the nights get darker. Mike said:“It has now been six week and

‘‘

OCAL RESIDENTS in Dona Pepa contacted the Costa Blanca People recently to highlight what they describe as a ‘very poor and dangerous situation’due to the new street lighting that has been installed in the area. It appears that the council, after many years of trying to repair the ageing street lighting in the area, finally decided to replace the old lights with new ones, much to the delight of the local community. The work was undertaken at a cost of just under

I have personally experienced how dangerous the situation is; whilst I was backing my car into my property a vehicle came on to the roundabout and nearly crashed into me because it was pitch black and he couldn’t see me because there was no street lighting.” The curbs, like many residential areas on the Costa Blanca, are high and many residents are elderly, locals are concerned that it is only a matter of time before someone seriously hurts themselves or there is a bad road traffic accident. It is unclear as to whether the lack of light is due to technical issues with the new lighting or a financial situation. To save money many

local councils limit lighting at night or turn off a certain number of street lights on a rota basis. Residents have raised their concerns with The Dona Pepa and Lo Maribu Association, the Residents Office at Quesada and even the Mayor of Rojales. There are now at least 15 street lights not working on the main thoroughfare and despite promises to pass the information on to the municipal electrician, the Council remains 180,000 euros out of pocket for lights that don’t work and residents remain in the dark.

BITE SIZE FOUR DAYS OF NEWS: ROAD MISERY It may seem as though there are plenty of opportunities to pay tax in Torrevieja with the presence of the SUMA office. However, Torrevieja does not have its own state tax office or Oficina de la Agencia Estatal de Administración. This is in spite of the Mayor, José Manuel Dolón, requesting one. The explanation given is that there is no need to place one here as there are already offices in local towns and cities and people can use the internet and telephone to sort out queries. Both Alicante and Elche already have offices due to them having a larger population and economy than Torrevieja. There are also offices in Alcoy, Benidorm, Denia, Elda, Orihuela and Villena even though most of these have less economic activity and population than Torrevieja. People living in Torrevieja have used the Orihuela tax offices to complete their business. However, the mayor has vowed not to ‘throw in the towel’ and will continue to state Torrevieja’s case for having a tax office of its own.

Local holidays in 2017 It can be difficult to work out exactly when there are bank holidays in Spain. Continued on page 4

Gridlocks on Spain’s major roads started on Friday in what is traditionally the busiest weekend for traffic in the country, ahead of the bank holiday Monday that began this week. Around 6.3 million cars were expected to be out on the highways between last Friday and Monday evening – roughly one for every seven inhabitants in the country – with the regions of Madrid, Extremadura to the west, and Castilla-La Mancha in the dead centre accounting for 23 percent of the traffic. Andalucía in the south was expected to see about 22 percent of the gridlocks, and the eastern provinces bordering the Mediterranean, around 19 percent. This is mainly due to the fact that workers who had Monday off were heading for the coast, for country retreats or for out-of-town urbanisations to spend the long weekend away from the rat race. Tailbacks on Friday night were mainly

found in the outskirts of Madrid and Barcelona, gradually moving further outwards as the evening wore on. Outside the capital city and CastillaLa Mancha, the worst-hit areas on Friday night included local traffic hotspot the N332 through Torrevieja, as well as the A-7 motorway in Andalucía, the C-66 in the province of Girona, the A-3 in Riba-Roja de Turia in Valencia province near the airport and the interchange for the coastal A-7 motorway and the A-3 in the Madrid direction. Traffic police were expected to breathalyse at least 25,000 drivers, and many made an early start in beach and resort areas. At least 10,000 Guardia Civil officers and 13,000 conservation workers – watching out for forest fires – were on duty over the bank holiday weekend period.Statistics show that on average 12 percent of drivers have taken drugs or been drinking alcohol, and these substances are responsible for nearly a third of crashes involving deaths.

Spanish shopping centre shooting spree At least two people have been seriously injured and have been rushed to hospital after a lone gunman opened fire in a Spanish shopping centre. The shopping centre in Zaragoza was put on lockdown after the man went on a shooting rampage.

Early reports suggest that the attack was not terror related and that the gunman shot his ex-wife before shooting passers-by and then turning the gun on himself. At least two people were seriously injured and have been rushed to hospital.

Theresa May seeks new approach to BITE SIZE Falklands Islands in letter to Argentina NEWS: Continued from page 3

Downing Street looks to leave the past behind and begin a new era in relations that would lead to lifting of restrictions to carry out oil exploration in South Atlanti.

n her first official contact with the Argentinean government, British Prime Minister Theresa May has written to President Mauricio Macri calling for a normalisation of relations over the Falkland Islands that would include more flights to the British-run territory, as well as a lifting of restrictions on oil exploration. May, who took office on 13th July, expressed her “sincere hope” in the letter, sent last Thursday, of improving relations with Argentina, which have been strained since the 1982 war between the two countries after the military junta ruling the country at the time decided to invade the Falkland Islands. Downing Street believes that it can rebuild a more fruitful relationship with Macri, who took office in December, in contrast with the bitter exchanges between May’s predecessor, David Cameron, and Macri’s forerunner, Cristina Fernández de Kirchner. May called for ‘more productive’ relations between the two countries in her letter to the pro-business Macri,

who took office in December as Argentina's first non-Peronist president in more than a decade.

‘restrictive hydrocarbons measures’, a reference to various attempts by Argentine authorities to restrict oil and

We have an issue with the United Kingdom over the Falkland Islands...without denying its existence, we can work on many other things while we gradually advance toward a resolution of this issue. Argentine Foreign Minister, Susana Malcorra “Since the election of President Macri, we have been working towards improved relations with Argentina because we think that is in the interests of both our countries and the Falkland Islanders too,” May's Downing Street office said in a statement. In her letter, May said she hoped that where the two countries had differences, “these can be acknowledged in an atmosphere of mutual respect”. She called for progress towards new flights between the islands, which are located about 435 miles off the coast of Tierra del Fuego in southern Argentina, and third countries in the region. As things stand, a Chilean airline flies from Santiago to the Falklands every Saturday via the southern Chilean city of Punta Arenas. Once a month, the flight also stops in Rio Gallegos, Argentina, in both directions. May also called for the removal of

gas exploration in the waters around the islands. Tensions flared in June last year, under Macri's predecessor Cristina Fernandez, when an Argentine federal judge ordered the seizure of millions of dollars' worth of assets owned by drillers operating in the Falklands area. The Argentine measures have not halted oil exploration, although efforts have been scaled down in recent times due to low oil prices on international markets. Susana Malcorra, Argentina’s foreign minister, responded to the letter, telling media that President Macri would look at the British proposals. The new Argentinean president has said he intends to improve and strengthen relations with the United Kingdom, ending the confrontational approach that characterized the Kirchner administration. “We believe it is very important to reestablish dialogue at the highest level

Have your say in 2017 budget allocation The City Council has launched its plan for a ‘Participatory Budget’ for 2017. The Councillor for Finance, accompanied by the Councillor for Citizen Participation, Sabina Goreti Galindo and the Councillor the Pedanías, Victor Valverde, presented the participatory budgeting plan ahead of 2017. This measure adopted by the council, said the Councillor for Finance, is a way of ‘listening to citizens’, to listen to the concerns of all residents of Orihuela, so that their voices heard beyond the election polls. As a first step, through the municipal website, any citizen or resident of Orihuela, may make contributions to the budget allocation of 2017. Those interested in making suggestions can downloading a simple form and write their proposal. Participants will need to identify themselves preventing anonymous

contributions. Secondly, personal meetings with citizens, associations and groups etc can be scheduled with the Councillor for Finance Rafael Almagro from the end of August and September from 17:30pm to 19:30pm. Appointments can be booked through email at: presupuestosparticipativos2017@orihuela.es. Also, meetings with citizens, associations and social and business centres for the districts and the coast will be made. These meetings will be structured by area, so that the contributions and suggestions of citizens have a logical order. The councillor added that ‘the agenda of these meetings are also posted on the website of the municipality so any citizens who is interested can consult the days, places and times of meetings’.

Orihuela Costa Beach Volley Ball Championship Cala Bosque, otherwise known as La Zenia Beach has hosted the ninth edition of the beach volleyball championship the ‘Orihuela Costa Cup’. The Councillor for Sports, Damaso Aparicio, opened the tournament on Friday which took place over the weekend Saturday 13th and Sunday 14th August – and is already a classic among fans of volleyball Beach. The Councillor for Spaort said: “The beach chosen for the staging of this event is Cala Bosque, La Zenia, where we will bring together 12 teams, approximately 60 players, from different parts of Spain.” The tournament began on Saturday at 9:00am and continued until 8:00pm and ended on Sunday with the quarterfinals and semifinals during the morning from

10am to 1pm and the evening matches were played by the third and fourth place teams at 6:00pm with the tournament drawing to a close at 7.00pm followed by the awards ceremony. The Councillor presented trophies for the top three finishers and in addition, the winner received a cash prize of 350 euros, 150 euros for the runner-up and third-placed won a paddle boarding lesson for an hour. This sporting event had the support of Chiringuitos del Sol, as well as the municipal Department for the Coast, whose councillor Sofia Alvarez, said: “It is a great opportunity to promote our coast in an event of this magnitude, and a great opportunity to link our tourist sports offer.”

between our two countries, as President Macri and Prime Minister David Cameron did, because we continue to believe, as we have said all along, that the links between Argentina and the United Kingdom are an important part of our presence in the world. We have an issue with the United Kingdom over the Falkland Islands, a subject that is part of our Constitution, so without denying its existence, we can work on many other things while we gradually advance toward a resolution of this issue.” The Falklands have a population of about 3,000 people, the overwhelming majority of whom say they wish the islands to remain a British overseas territory. Argentina has rejected that argument, accusing Britain of deliberately settling people there over a long period of history to bolster an illegitimate sovereignty claim.

The mixture of national, regional and local days off mean that making sure you know exactly when the shops might be closed can be quite complicated. So, it’s good news that the mayor of Torrevieja is giving us plenty of notice about the two dates planned for 2017. The two additional days closure are expected to be April 24th , for San Vicente Ferre, and 26th December. This could be good news for those traditionally missing their Boxing day bank holiday. The 26th December is not normally a bank holiday in Spain. The date April 24th has been chosen because it is the second Monday of Easter and has traditionally been held as a public holiday in the town. The 26th December has been selected in order to extend Christmas celebrations for the family.

Bid to host the European Medicines Agency José Manuel Dolón, Torrevieja’s mayor, has expressed his support to the Mayor of Alicante, Gabriel Echavarri, in the bid for Alicante to host the European Medicines Agency.

Dolón said; ‘It’s not only a good opportunity for the city of Alicante but for all the towns in the province. Hosting such an important organisation such as this could have a real economic impact.’ If the EMA is based in Alicante it could share facilities with the Intellectual Property Office of the European Union which could mean a substantial saving for the EU. The EMA is responsible for the scientific evaluation and authorisation of medicines.

Sheep protest against the Ferrís wall Protesters gathered to show their disapproval of the wall that has been erected in Lo Ferrís, the area of land between Cabo Cervera and Punta Prima. Traditionally this area included a cattle route, which they allege is now blocked off by the wall. The protest was led by the group ‘Save the Ferrís’ and ASAJA, the farmers’ union. A flock of sheep along with about a hundred people walked along

the edge of the wall and the protest ended with the reading of the group’s manifesto. The company who owns the land has built the concrete wall preventing the public having access to what was originally a public right of way. Thirty goats and sheep caught the eye of those bathing near by and many took the opportunity to photograph the unusual scene.

The protesters’ manifesto points out that this area is often used to promote Torrevieja due to its natural beauty, but that this is now being put in jeopardy by

the closing off of the area. Neighbours living in close by have already contacted the town hall to investigate whether the owners have committed an urban illegality by building the wall. Although it is agreed that the wall is largely built on private property, it is argued that some of the wall crosses public land and it is this which the group are challenging. Suzanne O’Connell

Please help us find their home Coco and Bean are not young dogs. They are 11 and 12 years old and they have been in Torrevieja’s albergue (animal shelter) since the beginning of August. They have had a family until very recently and were brought into the pound on a temporary basis. Now the staff there are unable to contact the owner and are anxious to either reunite the dogs with their owner or find them a new home. ‘Coco was born in November 2004 and Bean in November 2005,’ explains Councillor Carmen Morate. ‘I feel so sorry for them, they really need to be in a family home and not in the animal shelter. We have been unable to contact the owner and time is passing now. They really shouldn’t be in here for much longer.’ Carmen asks that if anyone recognises these dogs and knows who their owner is that they get in touch. She is also asking for people to come forward as a temporary foster or adoptive home in case their owner does not turn up. ‘I’m worried that we aren’t going to find out who they belong to,’ says Carmen. ‘It would be a tragedy for these

poor animals if they had to spend the rest of their days in the shelter.’

Instead of those needing assistance having to travel between the Caritas food bank and social services, they will be able to access help from one point. Other laws are being brought in to the Valencian region to enable people to challenge the authorities if their rights are not upheld.

Dare devil jumpers risk their lives Jumping into the sea from the rocks between Cabo Cervera and Playa de Los Locos continues to be a favourite summertime pastime for young people in Torrevieja. However, ‘Información’ warns, these young people are risking their lives. This rocky part of the coastline is a magnet for those who want to show their daring and raise their adrenalin by jumping the 10 metres into the water below. The little coves are enjoyed by groups of young people at this time of year. However, one young person has already been injured and had to be rescued after diving from the rocks, landing badly in the water and dislocating his shoulder. The councillor Javier Manzanares warns those taking part that there are no rescue services in this stretch of water and that those diving here must take extra care.

Twenty regional food poisoning cases, including Orihuela More than 195 people were affected by food poisoning from JanuaryJune, mostly by eggs, sauces or shellfish. The Valencian Government Health Service has detected 20 outbreaks of food poisoning in the first six months of 2016, 19 of which happened in this region and one came from another region. This is

slightly higher than the first half of 2015, when there were 15. Only one of these cases was in the Vega Baja, which was detected at an Orihuela health centre. The rest were in Valencia (4), Castellón (4), Alicante (2), Alcoi (2), Benidorm (2), Xàtiva (2), Alzira (1), Denia (1), Elda (1). The total number of people

Firemen tackle blaze in Orihuela Costa A helicopter was called out to extinguish fire in Monte Zenia ravine at the start of last week. Several teams of firemen from Torrevieja and Almoradí spent more than two hours putting out the fire in the Monte Zenia ravine near Villamartín last Tuesday. It was reported at

about 1:30pm and required a helicopter to help extinguish it. The fire started in an arid area full of dry scrub for reasons that have not yet been discovered, but was under control quickly and at no time posed a threat to any of the nearby urbanisations.

affected was 198, six of whom required hospitalisation but no one died. The food suspected to be responsible was more varied than in 2015, with eggs implicated in some cases, but also sauces and some shellfish that are eaten raw. Regarding the pathogens concerned, the most frequent agent was salmonella, but also norovirus and campylobacter. The factors that most often contributed to the illness being transmitted were eating raw foods, insufficient refrigeration, insufficient cooking and insufficient reheating. 16 of the outbreaks were in public places and four in homes. The public cases were 11 in restaurants, 2 in bars, 1 in a youth hostel, 1 in a campsite and 1 in a hotel. Most of them happened in the first week of the year and in the months of April and June.

22 power cuts a day for the Guardia The Asociación Unificado de Guardias Civiles (AUCG) has reported a continuing issue with electricity supply in their offices. The Guardia Civil in Torrevieja estimate that they are currently suffering from up to 22 power cuts a day and that this has been the situation since July. The loss of power has meant continuous disruption to an already over burdened force who are struggling to meet the needs of the busy town in summer. The constant interruption in electricity

is causing many problems including information loss from computers. It’s not only the police themselves who are being disrupted by this but the public who they are trying to attend to. The loss of power is slowing down administration leading to major delays for those reporting crimes. Along with the computers, the air conditioning systems are being disrupted leading to excessive heat in the Guardia Civil offices. Complaints have been received from members of the public

about the delays and these have been passed on to those in charge. In order to try and prevent the repeated cuts in power, the police have turned off any non-essential items such as coffee machines and water dispensers in a bid to prevent the disruption. However, even these measures do not appear to have addressed the difficulties experienced and the power cuts continue. Suzanne O’Connell

HATS OFF TO TORREVIEJA’S FISHERMEN

In the summer season, it can be easy to forget that Torrevieja began as a fishing village that once relied on its fishermen for its income. It’s worth taking time to note that this important trade still continues here and brings revenue into the town. Even at the height of the summer season, the boats are continuing with their yearround task of setting out to sea and returning with fresh fish to sell in the market. Torrevieja fish market no longer has the level of importance that it once had. However, there are still more than 15 fishing boats that are based at the port and keep the market ticking over with daily auctions of fish from Monday to Friday. The market isn’t only important for the local fishermen but also for other boats based in local ports that unload their catch here too. Unfortunately however, the afternoon market had to stop trading ten years ago and now it leaves just a morning market taking place. There is only one trawler which is based in Torrevieja. The ‘Samuel Ruso’

arrives every afternoon with its catch of whiting, sole, mullet and a variety of

higher prices there. The auctions in Torrevieja keep the

fishermen and that they are able to carry out their tough occupation. It’s not just

seafood. Once it has unloaded its catch it moves on to the market at Santa Pola. Santa Pola is the largest fish market in the region and the fishermen can command

ancient craft of fishing alive. Pedro Ángel Carmona is the head of the Fisherman’s Association and his council is dedicated to ensuring that there are facilities for the

Spanish fishermen that the association represents. There are also North African and Eastern European fishermen who make

up the crew of boats that use the port. These are not easy times for the association. They must continue their work whilst waiting for improvements to take place and facing up to the difficulties experienced with the supply of ice and parts of the fish market which are abandoned and in disrepair. One point of controversy is waste removal. There are restrictions as to where the waste from the market can be deposited and this has been unresolved since 2014. There have even been threats that the waste removal service might be suspended. However, these difficulties aside, the morning auction continues to have a steady flow of business and continues to make improvements and modernisations. For example, they now usually use cork boxes rather than the traditional wood or plastic ones. This week alone, seven thousand boxes of melva arrived at the port and altogether fifty thousand euros was collected. Mercadona is just one of the larger customers that the fish market provides supplies for. Other popular fish that the market supplies include anchovies which weighed in last year at 753,000 kilos and raised a total price of nearly 1.2 million euros. Sardines are a traditional and popular catch here in Torrevieja. These were recorded at a weight of 350,000 kilos and fetched a price of €645,000 at auction. This year, it is hoped to top these amounts and bring in even more revenue. Torrevieja may be less well known for its fishermen and their daily catch, but they certainly provide a very important source of income for the town and a product that can be enjoyed by its inhabitants.

Awareness raising for the municipal shelter Every Friday, Saturday and Sunday for the remainder of August there will be a stand staffed by volunteers at the Monumento al Coralista in order to draw attention to the work of the volunteers at the municipal dog and cat shelter. Carmen Morate, councillor for the protection of animals, announced that the stand will be manned by the volunteers who regularly help out at the Albergue.

hand made items and accessories for dogs. Visitors can also find out more information about the project to sterilise animals and keep the cat colonies under control. Carmen Morate would like all animal lovers to take note of this information point and become part of one large team of people who care about the wellbeing of animals in our town. ‘Everyone can help by fostering

The stand will be located next to the monument on the Paseo Vista Alegre from 7pm until 11pm. This is an opportunity to raise awareness for those people who want to know more about the facilities provided for stray animals and the town hall’s attempts to make sure that they are all found good homes. The volunteers will be able to explain to those visiting the stand how the dogs are looked after, what the process of adoption is and how to be a foster home. In addition, there will be items for sale on the stall to help pay towards vets bills. These will include

a dog or a cat and helping to rehome it,’ explains Councillor Morate. ‘The dogs are so different when they are out of the shelter. Being in a home really brings the best out in them.

Spain’s Olympic record Spain might excel in many sports but overall its Olympic record is not startling. In this year’s Rio Olympics they are ranked at number 23 although, at the time of writing, they are in 14th position. The highest they have ever come in the Olympic tables was when they hosted the games in Barcelona in 1992. Then they came in 6th with 13 gold, seven silver and two bronze medals. Since then their highest achievement was in Atlanta the following games, when they came 13th overall. Spain has boycotted the games twice. In 1936 the country did not take part in the Olympics which were held in Nazi Germany. The left-wing Popular Front had recently been elected and would not participate due to it taking place under a Nazi government which was not afraid of hiding its anti-semitism. Instead they organised their own People’s Olympiad in Barcelona and had 6,000 athletes from 49 countries due to take part. However, the civil war started just one day before the games began and they had to be cancelled. The second Spanish boycotting of an Olympic games was that of the 1956 Olympics in Melbourne, Australia. The official reason given for this was because of the Soviet Union’s invasion of Hungary. At this point Spain was governed by Francisco Franco, the Spanish dictator, who had overturned the democratically elected Spanish government with a nationalist force.

Bid to host the games Spain has tried three times to host the Olympic games in Madrid since the success of Barcelona in 1992. On each occasion

their application failed and the cost of the bid, along with the impact of austerity, has meant a national reluctance to see them go for it again. Hosting the Olympics definitely seems to bring a shower of medals with it. Since 1948 the USSR, Spain, Mexico, Italy, Greece, Finland, the USA, China, Australia and Britain have proved that being the host helps you break previous records. The host-country athletes do not need to travel far to compete so do not suffer from travel fatigue or the jet lag that their rivals might suffer from. There might also be a ‘comfort’ factor as athletes feel more at home. Finally having the crowd behind you does make a big difference. Not only might a cheering crowd boost athletes’ performance but it can sway the opinion of judges too.

Successes in Brazil Now trying, their luck in Brazil, Spain got off to a relatively promising start in its medal acquisition. At the time of writing they have

managed one gold and one bronze in swimming, one gold in the canoe slalom, a gold in tennis and a bronze in women’s weightlifting. Mireia Belmonte (below)won the gold in the 200 metre butterfly and the bronze in the 400 metre individual medley. She is the first Spanish woman to win an Olympic swimming gold medal. The last time a Spaniard won a swimming medal was in Barcelona in 1992. Maialen Chourraut also won gold for her performance in the Kayak women’s Canoe Slalom. This follows on from winning the bronze medal in the London Olympics in 2012. The win came following a penalty being awarded to Australia’s Jessica Fox who finished in third position. Rafael Nadal and Marc López won the men’s tennis doubles on Friday and there was a bronze medal win for female weightlifter Lidia Valentín in the 75kg category. All eyes will now be on events next week to see if Spain can beat their five gold medal record. Suzanne O’Connell

‘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

It’s the way you tell it… I am pretty good at pinpointing Irish accents: Stop me if I have told you this before, but years working in the bar trade, as well as being an avid GAA fan has helped to hone my ear for accents. Mind you, I’m not as good as Kinnegad publican, Joe Bracken, who can imitate all of them as well! This column has broken many stories over the past decade: Scoop after scoop jumps off the page at astonished readers. It’s OK … you deserve it – but what we are on about this week is last year’s news, so apologies if you have heard this one already. And it’s a case of either read it again, or stare at a blank space, because I have nothing else in the head at the moment. There was a survey done in 2015 to ascertain which county has the most popular accent. I only heard the news last week, when I bumped into

my friend Darren and then I looked it up. I am surprised by the winning county – but not in the least bit surprised by the one that came last and a long way behind the rest of the field: The most despised accent in Ireland. Read on please … For the purpose of the survey, by ‘TheSlicedPan.com, 33 accents were listed, as Dublin was deemed to have two distinct and unrelated accents. It’s a pity they don’t do the same with the Dublin footballers – ach sin sceal eile. Where did Westmeath come in this popularity contest is the first bit of information that most of you want to know. Not as good as we would like, I’m afraid; so in the best tradition of disputing votes we don’t like, I would say that the Lake County’s 26th spot constitutes the entire margin of error in this particular opinion poll. If we don’t get a

recount, we can live with the result on account of the fact that Offaly, Longford and Laois are ranked below us. Something that calls the entire survey results into disrepute is the fact that Meath is rated well above us. Holy God … ‘TheSlicedPan.com’ was definitely never at a Meath football match. To be fair, they can ‘talk right’ sometimes, thanks to the numbers of them who attended St Finian’ College in Mullingar. Our neighbours across the creek in County Roscommon did exceptionally well; coming in with the 5th nicest accent in the country. …’And the winner is’… Donegal! (Lads … Lads … please – I’m only reading this off a results sheet of paper) Galway came 2nd, Kerry 6th and no surprise that Mayo makes the top ten, coming in at number 8. Leinster counties made up eight of the bottom ten counties in the survey … which doesn’t sound quite

right to me. My grandfather travelled the country with his work, and he always told me that the Westmeath accent was the easiest understood; but he would say that wouldn’t he – and him one of them. It now gives me immense pleasure to name the accent at the bottom of the pile - the accent nobody likes, apart from themselves. It isn’t a natural accent anyway, but one that has been manufactured to serve snobbery. It is the Dublin 4 accent; the ‘goys who cotch the Dort’. This posh speak annoys most people – except of course when it is spoken by Ross O’Carroll-Kelly! The survey proves the point that people should continue to speak the accent they were born with; anything else is inverted snobbery. Let me finish up with a piece of good news from another survey. This should help to prevent all the

counties falling out among themselves over the Irish survey. In fact, I have the results of two British surveys here. I am not sure of the source of the first one, but a news item does say that Irish men were voted ‘the sexiest men in the world’. Well done lads – take a bow and I have just taken mine! No surprise for us there. And to put the icing on the cake; a survey by ‘YouGov’ in England, discovered that the Southern Irish accent ranked as the most attractive one across the UK. Obviously the Meath men were all gone to Laytown that day.

If you go to Donegal for elocution lessons – on account of it being Ireland’s favourite accent, and you hear the word ‘quack’, don’t look around for a duck. It’s just someone telling you to hurry up!

WEEKLY EURO UPDATE Just about everyone had been expecting the quarter-percentage-point cut which halved the UK Bank Rate to 0.25%. Far fewer had been geared up for an extension of the Bank of England’s (BoE) asset purchase scheme and just about nobody was ready for the governor's promise to take rates even closer to zero before Christmas. Alright, it was not quite a promise but it came jolly close. The assumption now is that, unless the UK economy picks up, the Old Lady's benchmark interest rate will be down at 0.1% by the end of the year. The dollar, which had already benefitted from the BoE’s loosening of monetary policy, received a further leg up from the release of the latest nonfarm payroll figures. Following a strong June, the US created far more jobs than expected in July, with the latest monthly tally for non-farm payrolls clocking in at 255,000 – economists had been expecting a reading of just 180,000. The US dollar Index, which measures the currency’s strength against a tradeweighted basket of six major currencies, rose 0.25%, as hope was renewed that the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates this year. More bad news for the pound came in the form of an article that Ian McCafferty, a member of the Bank of England's Monetary Policy Committee, penned for the Times. In his piece Mr McCafferty echoed the negative sentiment expressed by Governor Mark Carney last Thursday, saying “Bank rate can be cut further, closer to zero, and quantitative easing can be stepped up." His words had added impact because Mr McCafferty is no monetary dove: during his four years in office he has voted 11 times to increase Bank Rate, more than any of his colleagues. Having been on a reasonably even keel the pound was marked down when the Times hit the digital newsstands; falling lower against the other dozen most actively-traded

currencies. Unlike those of us whose international money transfer requirements demand we sell pounds in exchange for euros, the Bank of England (BoE) will be content that their asset purchase programme has weakened sterling; after all that is one of its main aims. In this instance the market shift, which saw sterling fall back to its 2016 low against the euro, was precipitated by the banks failure to buy its fill order on Tuesday. The BoE is in the process of purchasing up to £60bn in government debt in an attempt to suppress borrowing costs; a side-effect of which is a weaker pound. For the second time in a fortnight a currency strengthened noticeably after a central bank lowered its benchmark interest rate by a quarter of a percentage point. The first was the Australian dollar, which has risen by 3% since the Reserve Bank of Australia acted last Tuesday. This morning it was the turn of the Reserve Bank of New Zealand. As almost universally expected, the RBNZ cut its Official Cash Rate from 2.25% to 2%. Consequently the NZ dollar went up because the cut did not take the rate below the 2% threshold. An already jaded pound felt the full impact of the banks loosening of monetary policy; plummeting to a 40-year low against the Kiwi. Continental Europe in August is not a happening place. Politicians, business people and investors are more inclined to spend the month relaxing than they are to make major decisions or do big deals. That makes for a reactive, not a proactive euro and so it was over the last seven days. The single currency was literally unchanged against the US dollar at $1.1142, and minutely lower against the Swiss franc. Euroland ecostats were mostly alright, the exception being an unexpected -0.8% monthly fall in French industrial production.

Happy 70th

Believe it or not - David of David’s Coachtrips - has finally hit the big 70 and doesn´t he look good on it! David started Coachtrips more than 20 years ago, with just one coach going off to Benidorm for the day and back again. How things have progressed from then, with the company going from strength to strength. Thanks to David’s deep passion for what he does and a genuine desire to offer the best service to all his customers, the company has grown to be something he is incredibly proud of. Nothing gives him greater pleasure than knowing that he has been part of creating a host of memories for people; whether holiday memories for families or showing holidaymakers and residents alike this beautiful country - be it cities, fiestas or rural Spain. David has an amazing knowledge of Spain and its history and enjoys sharing this with the people who travel with him.

Therefore, he selects his tem members carefully employing only those that he is sure will share that enthusiasm and deep commitment. At 70, David has finally hung up his boots and gone into retirement…but that´s not to say that he isn’t always on the sidelines offering support and ensuring standards are kept high. However, now it is time for David to finally have some well earned time to himself. His birthday saw continuous celebrations but one event that he will hold dear to his heart is a meal organised by the team of girls that he works with, and his family. It was a surprise and he was deeply touched to know how much the team care. He is immensely proud of the girls that work with him and of the special rapport that they have. Here´s to a happy retirement David, enjoying the fruits of all those years of hard work. Happy 70th birthday!

Golden Harmony turns to Golden Anniversary Many readers will remember the glorious concerts of harmony, music, dance and comedy hosted by dazzling duo Marie Joy and Mike Davis for charities in the area. Concerts that have raised around a quarter of million euros over the years the couple have been fundraising. Close friends certainly remembered theses and the couple fantastic achievement as they gathered recently at a seaside restaurant to celebrate the couple's golden wedding anniversary. Not just 50 years wedded together, but Mike and Marie Joy also teamed up as a professional duo on stage that took them to almost every theatre and club in the UK. This dynamic duo received the

Pride of Spain Life Achievements Award several years ago. Among the revellers were friends from SAT animal refuge, which has been close to their hearts as founder members, volunteers, supporters and fund raisers of the charity. During the celebration a presentation was made of a replica Oscar and a ‘This is your life’ style-book of part of their busy professional theatrical life. A book they plan to copy and send to Ken Dodd and other friends of shared shows and billing. From CostaBlancaPeople we send our own best wishes to Mike and MarieJoy on this special occasion.

Bush beans, also called snap beans because they “snap” when ripe, are by far the most popular home grown beans. Tender, with a delicate taste and no strings, they are easy to grow and cook - and delicious to eat!

here are many varieties of bush beans to choose from. They can be green, yellow, or purple and come in all kinds of shapes and sizes so you can add a variety of textures and colour to your dinner plate. Bush beans (Phaseolus vulgaris) are easy to plant and they do not need any time consuming staking, trellising, or poling because they grow on compact, sturdy plants. They grow well even in poor soil, and have ready-to-eat pods in only seven or eight weeks. And by staggering planting times by a few weeks you can have a continuous bean production all summer/ autumn long. Below you will find 10 tips that are guaranteed to bring you the best, tastiest, and most productive bush bean crop ever: 1. Wait for warm weather Beans like warm soil, so for best germination when sowing your seeds, wait until the soil temperatures are warmer than 16°C (60°F). If you plant the seeds in cold soil, the beans will germinate very slowly leaving them vulnerable to rot and soil-borne diseases. 2. Prepare bean seeds for planting Soak them: For extra fast germination, soak the seeds in water for 30 minutes before planting, or put the seeds between two damp paper towels the night before planting. By the next day, the seeds will be swollen and ready to germinate. Inoculate them: Beans are like peas and other “nitrogen-fixing” legumes in that beans can pull nitrogen right out of the air because soil-dwelling bacteria forms nodules on their roots. But this can happen only if the soil naturally has this helpful bacteria. If the soil has no such bacteria, your beans will not do as well. So take a few minutes before you plant your seeds and inoculate them by coating

them with a powdered form of rhizobium bacteria. It is a good insurance to give your seeds to ensure they grow the best they can. Even if your soil already has plenty of the nitrogen-fixing bacteria, adding some inoculant is never going to hurt anything. 3. Water properly Bush beans like a regular supply of water. That said however, beans do not like wet, or poorly drained soil. In order to make sure the soil drains well, and your beans do not rot, add plenty of organic matter such as compost before planting. Give the beans regular water, and allow the plants to dry out a bit in between waterings. The only time you want the soil to be constantly damp is right after you have sown the seeds. Watering the seeds: When sowing in the spring, sow the seeds 1 inch (2.5 cm) deep; in the hot weather of summer, sow the seeds 2 inches (5 cm) deep. Then soak the seed bed thoroughly with water, and try not to water again until the beans sprout so that the soil does not become soggy or waterlogged. If your soil tends to dry out quickly, or to form a crust, cover the seed bed with a very thin layer of mulch or compost after you plant to keep the soil surface moist and soft. This helps the bean’s growing tip from breaking off as it pushes though the soil. If your soil dries out even with the mulch, do water again. Always keep sown seed beds damp. If they dry out, the seeds will die. 4. Plant bush beans very close together Bush beans do not mind being crowded and will still produce a good crop. The best reason for planting them fairly close together is you want the leaves of the plants

to grow into a shade canopy that will cool the soil and stop weeds from growing. Plant bean seeds in “blocks” or rows 2 to 3 inches (5 to 7.5 cm) apart and do not thin when they come up. 5. Make sure to rotate Try not to grow beans in the same garden bed two years in a row because they are susceptible to several soil-borne diseases. Rotating your crops will help prevent a build up of these diseases at each location. 6. Keep bush beans weeded Snap beans have very shallow roots that cannot compete with weeds for water and nutrients, so try and keep your beans well weeded. Remember however, that bean roots grow very close to the soil surface, so be careful when weeding that you do not pull the bean plants out along with the weeds if you have allowed the weeds to get too large. 7. Bush beans like mulch Especially here where summers are hot and dry, mulch your beans to help keep the moisture in the soil. 8. Bush beans do not like super high heat Beans will stop producing about a week after any hot spell that is over 32°C (90°F). To avoid this, either cover your bush beans with shade cloth structures to help them

weather through or plant early in the spring, or towards the end of summer to miss most of the high heat days. 9. Stagger your planting Because bush beans tend to produce their beans all at once, harvest will only last about 2 weeks. By staggering your planting, it will help keep a steady supply of beans throughout the summer. 10. Keep bush beans picked Regular harvesting is the number one way to guarantee a prolonged bean harvest. You should pick your beans at least every other day, and you should pick your beans before their pods swell and fill up with seeds. When the seeds finish forming inside the pods, it sends a signal to the plant to

stop growing, which is something you do not want, so keep those beans picked. Also, when beans pods get too big, they are not as tender and tasty as when they are young. Whether you call them string beans, snap beans, green beans, or bush beans, they are one of the most favoured vegetables for gardeners to grow during the summer months. They have high quality flavour, and last a long time once harvested, making them easy to handle and cook with. By following the above tips you will have even more success with your beans and that simply means more for you to eat and enjoy! Marc Vijverberg

Spanish travel agencies cash in on ‘Poketourism’ Just like countless other countries, Spain has been hit so hard by the Pokemon Go craze that travel agencies are seeking to cash in on the global phenomenon with specialised tours. Such is the interest that Junior Travel, a company based in the southern city of Granada, has been overwhelmed with applications from players looking to work as guides for groups hunting the game’s cartoon monsters, just days after posting a job advertisement. Candidates must be players who have reached level 20 out of 40 at least, and the firm has already received more than 2,000 applications to guide tours that will take place in various parts of southern Spain and the cities of Valencia, Barcelona and Madrid. “Every minute we get three or four applications,” said Antonio Barragan, manager of the travel agency. “The HR guy is a little overwhelmed.” The augmented reality game, which uses satellite locations, graphics and camera capabilities to overlay the cartoon creatures on real-world settings, has taken Spain – and the rest of the world by storm. Cities nationwide have filled

up with people walking with their eyes glued onto their smart-phones, hunting cartoon monsters with the aim of collecting as many as they can. Junior Travel’s tours will see customers driven around in a bus and given expert guidance on hunting Pokemon, for up to 43 euros a day. The routes are “so that people don’t get bored of the game in their city, and go hunt Pokemon in other provinces,” said Barragan. The company’s first tours to Granada from neighbouring areas take place on Saturday, and it also plans to launch Pokemon routes to Madrid on Sunday or Monday. But it is not the only company taking advantage of Pokemon Go in Spain. Felices Vacaciones, for instance, offers an 11night travel package for 1,695 euros to hunt in the United States, which is reportedly one of the only countries where Tauros, one of the many Pokemon creatures, can be caught. People in other countries have also taken advantage of the craze, with similar tours taking place in London, Edinburgh or Mexico City.

Welcome to ANCONA with Vivalia Travel Ancona is the capital of the Italian region called Marche. It is an important port city on the coast of the Adriatic Sea. Most of its medieval centre was bombed during World War II.

t’s cathedral, however, is set on the mountain overlooking Ancona and still worth a look. There is also a monument built by Mussolini on the waterfront. It offers glorious vistas on the coastline with mainly flat sandy beaches. The popular resorts of Portonovo, Sirolo, and Santa Maria di Badia are at the Mount’s base. Many ferries link Ancona, and therefore Italy, to Croatia, Greece and Turkey. Moving around the city The few tourist attractions located in Ancona’s historic town center are easily navigated on foot. The city also boasts several cobblestoned pedestrian streets, which are not only closed to traffic, but are also very picturesque and the perfect place for a stroll. Rental bicycles are also readily available and the town’s buses, normally used by locals commuting to and from work, are another easy way to get around the city. Ancona Cathedral. Attractive Ancona Cathedral stands on the Guasco hill overlooking the city’s port and offers amazing views of

Ancona and the Adriatic coast. The wooden roof of the 11th century Cathedral is actually in the shape of an upside-down boat and its most obvious feature is the 12-sided cupola. The Cathedral is actually built on the site of an ancient temple dedicated to Venus and you can still see some of the ruins underneath the church. Arch of Traiano. The marble Arch of Trajan, 18m high, erected in 114/115 as an entrance to the causeway atop the harbour wall in honour of the emperor who had made the harbour, is one of the finest Roman monuments in the Marche. Most of its original bronze enrichments have disappeared. It stands on a high podium approached by a wide flight of steps. Lazzaretto.The Lazzaretto (Laemocomium or “Mole Vanvitelliana”), planned by architect Luigi Vanvitelli in 1732 is a pentagonal building covering more than 20,000m², built to protect the military defensive authorities from the risk of contagious diseases eventually reaching the town with the ships.

Also, Corso Garibaldi is the main street in the city centre with several luxury shops. Outside the city there are numerous commercial centres. There are a few good places in Ancona where visitors can shop for local products. In Ancona the food markets are very colorful and lively and have a wide variety of fresh fruits, vegetables and sea food for purchase. One thing Ancona does well is food products. There are good quality olive oils, cheeses, breads, pastries and cakes available in food stores throughout the city. Visitors can also purchase red and white wines from the region in the wine shops of Ancona. Eat and drink The majority of restaurants in Ancona serve local cuisine and dishes that are unique to the region. Being a port town means that good seafood is readily available and definitely worth trying. There are also many good cafes and bakeries in the city where visitors can sample local desserts and traditional breads and pastries.

Summer sleep deprivation

Olympic torch made in Spain The Olympic torch, which was lit in Rio de Janeiro’s Macaraná Stadium last Friday, was created in Catalunya, as are the medals currently seeking homes in the 2016 games. Famous for being the symbol that marks the start of the historic global sports festival – and supposedly bad luck if it is extinguished – the Olympic torch was manufactured by the company AwaPremis, based in Caldes de Montbui (Barcelona province).

The company also makes medals, cups, trophies and plaques for sporting events all over the planet. For the games in Brazil’s former capital, Awa-Premis has been commissioned to make 15,000 medals. And one of them has already found its way home – Spain’s top female swimmer in history, Mireia Belmonte, netted the bronze medal in the 400-metres medley, the first medal for her country of Rio 2016.

The heat and the longer hours of sunshine are the main causes for sleep deprivation. For that reason many people turn to sleeping with air conditioning, open windows or use fans that also provide good benefits for a healthy sleep, as say the experts at the Sleep Unit of Hospital Quirónsalud Murcia, Torrevieja and Valencia. According to Dr. Gonzalo Pin, coordinator of the Sleep Unit for Hospital Quirón Salud Valencia, in summer there are four circumstances that could affect our sleep, in the case of high summer temperatures, “if the temperature is greater than 22 degrees the onset of sleep is difficult therefore more movements and night time awakenings. Also the increased noise levels from outside when we open windows, more people on the street, the noise from the air conditioning machine etc. Our hearing is in ‘waking activity’ hindering the depth and continuity of our sleep.” The second cause that affects our sleep in the summer is the duration of light-dark natural cycle: as the daylight hours increase, night time falls later and this affects our internal biological clock ‘its set time’ depending on the light we receive spontaneously depends on our bedtime. Our biological night in summer is somewhat shorter than in winter. Another reason is the change in our daily habits, says Dr. Pin: “We get up later, eat and drink differently, we extend our leisure time and we lose the routine from the beginning to the end of our sleep patterns sleeping more irregular hours. Sleep is a habit that requires external elements to perform properly and consistency between these elements is critical.”

The logical answer to all of this is practicing a healthy summertime habit of having an afternoon nap. Today we know that siestas (afternoon naps) improve our intellectual activity and our mood. But you must have an adequate duration of about half an hour and we should avoid naps very late in the day because they contribute to further delay of sleeping at night. If these four conditions we also add a long journey in which we cross several time zones (especially eastbound) the appearance of jet-lag alter our regular sleep pattern for at least 4-7 days depending on our age, concludes the doctor.

Tips for better sleep in summer The experts recommend that we follow these tips to achieve better sleep during this time of year, like ventilating the room hours before bedtime, eating a balanced diet and staying hydrated.Other benefits to the body that occur during sleep on the left side refer directly to the proper functioning of the heart. Dr. Lluch stresses the importance of sleep to lead a healthy life and recommends adopting the pose on the left side. It need not be all night; simply sufficient time in the dominant position.

Food donation for the needy The neighborhood association ‘San Miguel Archangel’ has collected an amazing 849 kilos/litres of food recently through its just one kilo campaign. The initiative was run at the Supercor supermarket in Playa Flamenca recently, where shopper were asked to donation one kilo of dry food stuffs such as lentils, flour or pasta or one litre of liquid such as cooking oil or milk from their trolley or basket. The food collected will be used to cover the basic needs of families that have been hardest hit by the economic crisis in the municipality. The association would like to thank Supercor and its customers for the gesture of kindness and solidarity shown during this campaign. It also appreciates the considerable amount of work done by the 14 volunteers, who rather than take a summer holiday have been working tirelessly to ensure that local families in need have food and toiletries throughout the summer months.

Campaign organisers

San Miguel Race Runners in this year’s annual Popular Race in San Miguel and being asked to make a donation to Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) or Motorneurons Disease. Runners who take part in the sixth edition of San Miguel de Salinas Popular Race will have the opportunity to support patients and relatives of people with ALS. The event organisers, Club Deportivo Correbike, has included the option to buy a solidarity registration at a slightly higher price than the normal registration fee. The race will be held on Saturday 10th September at 8:30pm and the route will begin at Plaza de la Libertad, San Miguel de Salinas and is seven kilometres long. Another feature of this event is the organisation of a children’s race, which will begin at 7.00pm on the same day. The association believes that it is very

important to communicate to young people the values and benefits of health, fitness, sport and exercise and so includes a children’s challenge, which is an unusual addition to a serious competitive race.

Spain’s political instability is threat to investment The absence of a government after two elections within eight months – and the possibility of a third poll – along with mounting pressure from separatists in Catalonia and the UK’s exit from the EU are threatening to further reduce consumer spending and foreign investment, and holding back the recovery of the Spanish economy, says Moody’s Analytics. The economic research group says in a new report says that internal and external political factors will slow down investment in the short term, hitting confidence and “partially eclipsing the benefits of domestic structural reforms,” and adding: “The UK’s decision has strengthened separatist feeling in an already politically complicated Spain,” says Efua Afful, the report’s author, referring to the Catalan regional parliament’s

decision to approve a plan setting out steps toward independence. Moody’s highlights that Spain is still being run by an interim government despite having held two general elections, and that the main political parties are showing little sign of being able to reach agreement on setting up a new government. Moody’s Analytics points out that interim Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy of the Popular Party (PP) has failed to win the support of the Socialist Party (PSOE), and that it is “unlikely” that the leftleaning Podemos will support a PP administration, adding that the Socialists and Podemos differ over Catalonia’s independence demands, preventing them from forming a broad left coalition. “Thus, Spain could remain without a functioning government for longer than

Street food comes to the Costa Orihuela Costa has hosted a food market where locals enjoyed fabulous food while enjoying all the coast has to offer. The Councillor for Tourism, Sofia Alvarez has organised several activities which aims to make some of the traditional and contemporary food of Orihuela City more accessible to locals and tourists in Orihuela Costa. The Alicante Street Food Market tour came to the coast for a second time, following the huge success of the event in March. The food sold is freshly prepared at

the time and is quality cuisine sold from vans or vintage caravans, giving the event a colourful atmosphere and presenting good food at affordable prices. The Food Market will also feature free activities and entertainment. In addition, on Saturday 27th August, there will be a new edition of dramatised walks through the streets of Orihuela which link cultural heritage to local cuisine. The event will begin at 8:00pm and at 10:00pm and, as always, reservations can be made through the tourist offices – both in person

expected,” warns Moody’s Analytics, adding: “As confidence deteriorates, investment growth will slow down to 3.9 percent in 2016 and to 2.5 percent in 2017.” That said, Moody’s says that implementing structural reforms will support the ongoing growth of the Spanish economy. and over the phone - and through the new tourism website. There was also a program of celebrations that will take place on the coast in honour of the Virgin of the Assumption. This began on Sunday 14th August with a Mass in the chapel at La Zenia, followed by a ‘fraternity dinner’ at 9:00 pm, with its traditional homemade horchata, bouncy castles and entertainment by the Musical Union Torrevieja and Cantus Quartet. Monday saw the solemn Mass of Our Lady of the Assumption and at 8:30pm a procession with an effigy of the Virgin towards Zenia beach accompanied by a band. The procession made its way to the sea and the effigy was laid on a boat filled with requests and the event culminated in a spectacular firework display.

Ciudadanos sets terms to help break political deadlock Spain’s upstart Ciudadanos party has demanded electoral reform and anticorruption measures in return for helping acting Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy form a new government after months of political limbo. “If they sign, we’ll be able to negotiate,” Cuidadanos’ leader Albert Rivera told reporters, after listing six conditions for his centre-right party’s backing. Rajoy's conservative Popular Party (PP), in power since 2011, won June elections but fell short of an absolute majority, winning 137 seats out of 350. That vote was a repeat election after a December ballot was similarly inconclusive. Efforts to forge a coalition to break the deadlock have so far proved fruitless, with rival parties unable to overcome their differences, leaving the country in the hands of a caretaker conservative government. Rajoy has been tasked by King Felipe VI with forming a coalition or minority government, which he will have to push through a parliamentary vote of confidence. Tto do so, he will need an absolute majority in the vote -- at the very least, for 32 Ciudadanos lawmakers to abstain as well as the 85 of the Socialist Party, the PP’s traditional rivals. The Socialists, who came second in the June elections, have so far refused to back Rajoy. Rivera stressed that negotiations, due to begin today (Wednesday 17th) with Rajoy, only go as far as covering a possible favourable vote. The conditions include a reform of the electoral law to help small parties and setting up a parliamentary commission

of inquiry on illegal party financing. Ciudadanos, a natural ally of the PP, rejects Rajoy’s party because of corrup-tion scandals that have tainted its reputation. Survey Meanwhile, a survey has shown that if Spain was forced to hold a third general election in less than a year, four in 10 eligible voters would not bother to cast their ballots. And of those who would, according to NC Report, one in 10 would vote for a different party this time around. If any of the parties are hoping to push the country back to the polls, though, they may end up doing do to their own detriment - a third election would benefit the right-wing PP the most as in the event of a third election, nine in 10 of those who voted PP would do so again. The PSOE would suffer, losing 16.7 percent of its electorate; as would Unidos Podemos, dropping by 15.7 percent, and Ciudadanos would come out worst of all, losing 25 percent of its voters. Eight in 10 Spaniards would stick to their original vote. Only Spanish nationals - natives or converted citizens - can vote in general elections, although Podemos wants to change this to allow foreign residents a voice, possibly based upon the knowledge that immigrants who have taken Spanish citizenship are statistically more likely to cast their ballot to the left. Each time Spain calls another general election, it costs the taxpayer €177 million. The PP and Ciudadanos want the PSOE to at least abstain in the in-house presidential elections to allow Rajoy back in, although the PSOE is categoric in its refusal to do so.

Swimming pools increase property prices A swimming pool can double the value of a property on the open market, according to calculations by estate agency analysts - a typical home in Spain with a pool can cost around €407,704, compared with €193,525 for one without. These figures vary vastly by area, size and type of home, and nearby facilities, but generally, figures show that homes with a pool tend to sell for twice as much as those which do not have one, or do not have access to a communal one on the same complex. Buyers of property with a private or communal pool will face higher running costs, although these are well worth it when considering the added value and the luxury of being able to flop into a swimming pool in the heat of the summer without moving much beyond the back door. Typically, an apartment or villa on a complex or in a block means an annual cost of €780 in ‘community’ or ‘freeholder’ fees, which cover maintenance of the grounds, stairwells, parking areas and other shared parts. Add a swimming pool to the block or estate, and these fees rise to €1,227 on average - an increase of €447 a year. Of course, these also vary by area, with some being as little as €500 a year or even less for a complex with a pool. Owning a private pool on an estate not subject to ‘community charges’ or not part of a freehold

complex still involves maintenance fees - cleaning, topping up, checking and altering the chlorine levels and fixing leaks, replacing pumps and so on usually involve specialist knowledge and hard, manual labour, which can cost a typical €700 or so a year by paying a pool company. Contrary to popular misconception, a swimming pool is not a standard feature of a home in Spain - in fact, only 22.7 percent of properties on the market have one. The province of Alicante, whose coast is known as the Costa Blanca, holds the record with 35.2 percent of homes for sale being equipped with either a private or communal pool. One would expect the traditional tourism belts to be just behind Alicante, but in fact the secondhighest number of swimming pools attached to properties for sale is in Madrid (25.3 percent), followed by the land-locked central province of Ciudad Real (24.2 percent) - two areas where the extreme, punishing summer heat make them almost a necessity, but where the winters are among the coldest and longest in Spain. The Costa del Sol also sits high up on the list with 23.9 percent of homes for sale including a pool, whilst Logroño, in the cooler and land-locked northern region of La Rioja, sits at the national average with 22.7 percent.

Long-term unemployed tops four years A quarter of Spain’s unemployed have not worked for at least four years and more than 60 percent of the long-term unemployed suffer from a lack of skills. A report by the Fedea economic think tank found that between April and June of this year, 1,127,879 of the country’s 4.5 million unemployed had failed to work for at least four years. The figure has increased eleven-fold since the start of the crisis in 2008. The report says because unemployment in Spain is at 20 percent, employers are able to be picky, and tend to opt for younger people who have been out of work for shorter periods of time. The job creation over the last couple of years has therefore had little impact on the long-term unemployed. “Companies look at how long people have not been working. If somebody has been out of work for more than a year, then they don’t even consider them,” says Enrique Neguerela of the regional unemployment department of Galicia. “Somebody who has been out of work for four years needs to be retrained and to be given a job immediately. Training and employment is the only way.” More than 60% of the long-term unemployed suffer from a lack of skills, having nothing more than a high-school graduation certificate.

Be #Passport Aware The British Emabaasy is urging people to be passport aware on holiday to save time and money. Last year, over 5,000 Britons lost their passports while in Spain With more than 21,000 British passports lost or stolen last year, including 5,172 in Spain, the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) is urging British nationals abroad to be #Passport Aware and keep their passport safe in order to avoid extra costs and troubles which may spoil their holidays. With summer now in full swing, many Britons are jetting off on their holidays. According to TripAdvisor, Southern Europe is the hot destination. Majorca is number one for Britons, followed by Tenerife and Ibiza respectively, while Crete and Lanzarote come in fourth and fifth place. Most holidaymakers enjoy troublefree trips. However, valuable holiday time and money can be lost if a passport is lost or stolen as the victim may need to report the theft to the police, as well as spend time at the local Consulate or Embassy so that they can be issued with an emergency travel document (ETD). The cost of ETDs and new passports for two adults could pay for two additional nights in a mid-range hotel and two meals a day in Tenerife. Consulates around the world issued over 30,000 ETDs last year, and assisted distressed British nationals who had been victims of crime. For the second year runing, the FCO has produced a series of short films with fraud and stealth crime expert James Freedman in order to raise awareness of passport hustling techniques and to educate the public on how to avoid this

crime. These videos show a further four techniques that thieves use to steal passports as well as tips to avoid being a victim. Tobias Ellwood MP, Foreign and Commonwealth Office Minister, said: “While we should all enjoy our holidays, it is important that we remain vigilant about valuables – particularly passports. Becoming a victim of theft or losing your passport could ruin your trip and replacing a passport will cost money and valuable holiday time. “By following the simple tips included in these videos you can minimise the risk of falling victim to thieves while abroad.” James Freedman, stealth crime expert, said: “With identity theft on the rise, the actual cost of losing your passport could be thousands of pounds. Criminals and con-men are always evolving the tricks they use to target tourists, but a few simple precautions will really help you to stay safe.” “Only carry what you really need and keep cash and other valuables in a secure pocket or bag. Remember that if you put bags down, they should always be in your line of sight. If you don’t need your passport and other valuables when you’re out and about, leave them at the hotel. Above all, trust your instincts and be aware of anyone invading your personal space.” There are many other ways in which thieves can target your passports and valuables, and in addition to pickpockets, many Consulates worldwide have seen a rise in cases of items being taken from

hire cars, such as the couple who had their passports stolen while celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary with a trip to the South of Spain and were so upset that they decided to cut their holiday short. Thieves anticipate items of value such as passports being left in hire cars, so don’t take any chances. The FCO’s top tips for keeping your passport safe: • Be aware of your surroundings and be wary of strangers who take an unusual amount of interest in you • A damaged passport cannot be used for travel, so value it and keep it safe • Lock your passport in a safe if you have access to one, or if you are required to

keep it with you, ensure its location is not visible • Make two photocopies of your passport – leave one with friends or family and take the second with you, or store an electronic copy securely. Where permitted, use your photocopy as alternative ID, for example when going out at night • For certain countries your passport must be valid for 6 months after the date you travel – check the entry requirements before you go • Ensure you fill in the emergency details / next of kin page before you go The videos can be viewed on the FCO Travel Facebook, Twitter and YouTube feeds.

Illegal trafficking gang caught In a joint operation between the National Police, Guardia Civil, the National Crime Agency (NCA) and the Merseyside Police, has culminated in the dismantling of a framework dedicated to the illicit trafficking of vehicles and narcotics between Spain and the United Kingdom. The arrested – structured into several groups based in the UK and the Spanish provinces of Alicante, Málaga and Barcelona – used the cars stolen in Britain to reach Barcelona where they were ‘frozen’ for some time, before being returned back to the UK with regular quantities of 100 kilos of marihuana. On these occasions the drugs were also sold in countries such as Portugal and Italy. During the investigation, which has been underway since 2015, around 22 people have been detained, six in the UK and the rest in Spain, and 36 vehicles have been impounded. The drugs haul has included 153 kilos of marihuana, 346 plants and 2,800 cuttings, 128 kilos of hashish, more than two kilos of cocaine and 1,100 grams of amphetamine, 121,400 pounds and 99,000€ in cash. The first three arrests from this criminal network were carried out in the UK between October 2015 and February this year. The analysis of the obtained data after these arrests led to the apprehension in April of 100 kilos of skunk (high quality marihuana) and the arrest in the UK of another three people – although two were Spanish citizens. Days later, another nine members of the network, of British origin, were located and detained in the province of Alicante. In the five searches carried out the agents impounded 3 kilos of buds and 250 marihuana plants, with 51,000 euros in cash among other effects, including six cars. Thirty vehicles have been recovered in Spain in this last phase, carried out by the National Police and Guardia Civil, who closed in on a group of Spanish and British nationals who were operating from the provinces of Barcelona and Málaga, where a total of 11 searches were made. Five detentions in Barcelona and two more in Málaga taking the number to a total of 22 people arrested in the framework of this investigation.

Large haul The agents recovered 30 cars, most top of the range, with foreign number plates. It was believed at the time that more than 20 had been stolen in the United Kingdom. A thorough inspection of these vehicles led to the discovery of another 55 kilos of hashish, hidden inside. The houses of those arrested in Barcelona yielded 48 kilos of marihuana – vacuum packed and ready for distribution, and more than 3,000 plants in different stages of growth, Irish number plates, keys for dozens of vehicles, 47,000 euros in cash and items used for drug and vehicle trafficking. In Málaga, 2,150 grams of marihuana acorns were found along with 1,000 euros. The operation was carried out by agents from Group 50 of the Central UDYCO and the GRECO from Chiclana and Galicia and the Vehicle illicit trafficking group - all under the auspices of the General Commissioner of the Judicial Police. Also involved were the chief inspectors in Cataluña and the Murcia region, with the UOPJ of the Guardia Civil of Barcelona. And in the UK, collaboration was provided by the National Crime Agency and the Merseyside Police.

CARING FOR YOUR EYES OVER 70 As we age, our eyes undergo many changes and most people require glasses in their later years. While some changes are perfectly natural and nothing to worry about, older eyes are also more susceptible to certain issues, which if left undiagnosed and untreated can lead to irreversible damage and sometimes total vision loss. For this reason, Specsavers Opticas are advising that all people over 70 should have an eye test at least once a year. Louise Stone, Store Director of Specsavers Opticas in Javea and Calpe explains “It can be easy to forget about getting your eyes tested and only react when you notice that your vision is bad. However, when you reach your 70s there are a number of conditions which can threaten your vision if not caught early and have few noticeable symptoms before they reach an advanced stage. We are urging that those over 70 make it part of their routine to schedule a regular eye test and make sure that their optician is offering a thorough check which includes checking the back of the eye.” You should get a thorough eye tests that provides professional, comprehensive checks of your eyes and vision. Your optician will answer any questions and address any specific problems you may be having with your vision. If necessary, the optician will refer you directly for further medical examination to an Ophthalmologist. Specsavers Opticas have brought UK standard eye tests to Spain to make sure that issues are identified early and offer 25% discount on glasses from their 89€ range or above for the over 50s. Common problems for the over 70s These are the issues you should watch out for when you reach your 70s. Cataracts The lens becomes opaque, blurring vision and even leading to loss of sight if left untreated. Early on, the condition may cause near-sightedness and the reduction in perception of blue colours. Glaucoma A build-up of fluid within the eye can increase pressure, which in turn damages

the optic nerve. The loss of visual field often occurs gradually and slowly, and may be recognised by the sufferer only when at an advanced stage. This loss of vision can never be recovered, so prompt diagnosis is essential. Macular degeneration In older people, the macula – the centre of the retina which is used for detailed vision – thins and occasionally bleeds. This can lead to distortion of, or even the loss of, central vision. The sufferer may also have trouble discerning colours. Peripheral vision remains unaffected, but

central vision loss is serious, so early diagnosis and treatment is vital. All these problems can be easily diagnosed with an eye test, so Specsavers Opticas urges all people over 70 to make sure they go for an eye test on an annual basis to make sure their eyes are healthy and any problems can be treated before causing vision loss. Specsavers in Calpe, Javea, Benidorm, Torrevieja and Guardamar offer UK standard free eye tests with all glasses purchased.

PRESCRIPTION PAINKILLER ABUSE Hundreds of thousands of people are inappropriately taking prescription drugs in both Britain and Spain, a mix of opioids, tranquilizers and stimulants whose abuse is already a problem in the US and is fast becoming one in the EU. A survey of 22,000 people between the ages of 12 and 49 in five European countries showed the extent of the abuse. Spain was seen to be the biggest consumer of opioids with 18 percent of those questioned admitting to taking the drug at some point during their lives and almost 7 percent doing so in the last year. Opioids are painkillers such as tramadol and codeine. Its abuse usually happens when someone in pain gets a hold of them through a friend and starts to selfmedicate, but they are also used as a party drug. “Codeine and tramadol are considered chic in Russia,” says José Martínez Raga, one of the co-authors of the study and psychiatrist at Valencia’s Doctor Peset University. “An overdose produces a stimulating effect.” Spain is also leading in the consumption of sedatives such as alprazolam

– sold commercially as Trankimazin, lorazepam – Orfidal, diazepam – Valium and bromazepam –Lexatin. “Some people mix them with cocaine or alcohol,” says Martínez. “They’re most commonly used by cocaine addicts.” As many as 18 percent of those surveyed admit to have taken one or all of these drugs without a prescription at some time in their life and more than 9 percent have done so in the last year. The improper use of prescription drugs is as much to do with self-medication as using them to get high. The new study comes out today in the magazine, BMC Psychiatry, with data from the UK, Germany, Denmark and Sweden as well as Spain. Britain heads the abuse of stimulants such as Rubifen, which is primarily used to aid concentration during exams as it’s a drug given to children with an attention deficit and hyperactivity. Adult users claim it gives you a high and makes you more lucid; like taking cocaine but less harmful in general. Nine percent of Brits admitted to taking stimulants at some point in their

lives while 4 percent have done so in the past year against 6.8 percent and 2.4 percent of Spaniards, respectively. “There is a lot of research on the phenomenon in the US but it hasn’t been investigated in Spain and the rest of Europe until now,” says Martínez who has calculated that across all five countries surveyed, 13.5 percent have used opioids at some point in their lives while 5 percent have done so in the last year; 11 percent have used tranquillizers at some point and 6 percent in the last year; and 7 percent have used stimulants at some stage with 3 percent using in the last year. This new research is headed by Scott Novak of RTI International, a NGO in the US where the number of people taking one or all of these drugs at some point rises to 20 percent. Whether or not people abuse these drugs seems to have as much to do with where they live as their genetic make-up. Novak’s team points out that the practice is more common among non-whites and the unemployed. Obviously, if you have ever been officially prescribed one of these medicines, you

are more likely to abuse them – ten times more when it comes to tranquillizers, eight times more in the case of opioids and seven times more with stimulants. This abuse of prescrip-tion drugs is also known as an iatrogenic addiction. “In Spain, the use of prescription drugs is taken lightly,” says Martínez, hoping to get the message across to

national health services. “In Spanish TV series, they talk about taking Orfidal and Trankimazin as if they were candy. In drug campaigns, they should include not only alcohol and tobacco but also prescription drugs. Teenage years are crucial. And here we are seeing the problem starting in children.”

Emmerdale: Bernice faces a decision. David and Tracy consider their future. April goes too far.

An Hour to Save Your Life – BBC2 – 10.00 pm Medical science series exploring the life-or-death decisions facing doctors in the first critical hour of emergency care. Pedestrian Christy is hit by a car. Doctors suspect she may have bruising to the front and back of her brain, and give her an emergency roadside anaesthetic. In hospital, her brain begins to swell rapidly and she undergoes an emergency operation to remove part of her skull. After being run over by a forklift truck, doctors fear lorry driver Peter has sustained lifechanging crush injuries as he cannot move his legs. Concerned he may be bleeding internally, the medical team bind his lower body to keep him rigid. Once in hospital, scans reveal a pelvic fracture. In London, Jaqueline is involved in serious road traffic collision. Having sustained a severe open skull fracture to her forehead, Jaqueline begins to lose consciousness and clinicians suspect she may be bleeding in her brain. She is rushed to a major trauma centre for emergency scans.

MOVIE PICK2

Rick (Owen Wilson) and Fred (Jason Sudeikis) are best friends who have a lot in common, including the fact that they have each been married for many years. But when the two men begin to show signs of restlessness at home, their wives (Jenna Fischer, Christina Applegate) take a bold approach to revitalizing their individual marriages: granting them a “hall pass,” one week of freedom to do whatever they want…no questions asked. At first, it sounds like a dream come true for Rick and Fred. But it isn’t long before they discover that their expectations of the single life—and themselves—are completely, and hilariously, out of sync with reality.

Ex-CIA agent Jason Bourne is forced out of hiding and returns to Europe to find out exactly what happened in his past. But it's not easy as he's been framed for murder and his old employers are leading the manhunt. Action sequel with a phenomenal car chase.

Transformers: Dark of the Moon – Channel 4 – 9.00 pm

The third movie in Michael Bay's energetic sci-fi action franchise. The plot stems from the revelation that America's 1960s space programme was a cover to explore an alien craft found on the dark side of the moon. It belonged to some good Autobot robots, who crashed there while fleeing from their tyrannical Decepticon enemies. When they find out about it, the Autobots go to the moon, where they find spacetime portals and their long-dormant original leader, Sentinel Prime.

The Big Fat Quiz of Everything is back for a second helping with quizmaster Jimmy Carr presiding over proceedings as Jonathan Ross, Noel Fielding, Richard Ayoade, Aisling Bea, Adam Buxton and Rob Beckett fiercely battle it out for the Big Fat Quiz crown. Jimmy asks questions from the last 100,000 years of human history, giving the unique Big Fat Quiz spin on everything from science to music, food and drink to crime and punishment, and TV to politics, with a dollop of celebrity thrown in for good measure. As usual, Jimmy will be ably assisted by Big Fat Quiz favourites Jon Snow, the children of Mitchell Brook Primary School and Joey Essex, as well as a whole host of famous question setters, and a Mariachi band who drop by to liven up the party. So, what was in Pandora’s Box? What did President Bush ban from the White House? And can you name three things Right Said Fred were too sexy for?

A welcome at Friends Friends Café Restaurant in Los Montesinos has only been open for six weeks, but it is already making a name for itself with its traditional homecooked food and friendly service. ‘Everything on the menu is home-made,’ explains owner and head chef, Adriana. ‘Cakes are our speciality but our pies have quickly become a firm favourite too.’ Steak and ale pie, cheese and caramalised onion pie are just two that you can choose from. If you are missing your pot of tea and a bun, then Friends is definitely a place to visit. You can have a freshly brewed, traditional pot of tea and a cake for €3 or tea and a scone for €3.50. Of course, if you prefer you can have coffee which is proving to be just as much of an attraction. If you’d prefer something less sweet, then Friends also serve a traditional all-day breakfast. Their slimming world breakfast is syn-free and is just the remedy for those who are feeling that they’ve indulged a little too much over the summer holidays. Their signature dish might be cakes and sweets but Friends is also getting increasingly well-known for its Sunday lunch and evening meals. The friendly café area turns into a large and elegant dining room that can also be used as a function room. ‘We would advise you to book on a Sunday,’ explains

Adriana. ‘We do get busy.’ The Yorkshire puddings come thoroughly recommended and there’s a choice between beef, pork and chicken. The apple pie and custard has proved to be a real favourite. This week there was both apple and rhubarb pie which both sold out except for one portion of rhubarb. Friends serves Sunday lunch between 1pm and 5pm. During the rest of the week they have an evening menu, again serving home-made food. You can choose anything from the chilled cabinet and there is a large selection of sweets. The Bakewell tart, coffee and walnut cake and lemon meringue have been particularly popular. Friends prides itself on looking after the whole family including the children. There is a children’s menu and a box of colouring books and items to help keep the children entertained. They are open every day except Tuesday, although this is expected to change in September when they plan to be open all week. If you would like to try out their dishes then you can reserve your table by calling 694 49 45 40. You can find Friends on Avenida Del Mar, 82, Los Montesinos. It’s on the main road running through Montesinos and just before the last set of traffic lights if you are coming from the Quesada direction. Adriana and her friendly staff will be delighted to meet you. Suzanne O’Connell

ALICANTE AIRPORT LEADS THE WAY Alicante (Elche El Altet) Airport is the fastest growing country in international flights and is the second European passenger terminal on the rise after falling demand in Turkey and North Africa. The is has the highest growth in Spain in terms of international traffic from the period January to June 2015, with 16.1 percent more traffic. This is even above Barcelona, which is usually located in a higher range as it annually receives more than 25 million passengers while El Altet welcomes between 10 and 25 million annually. This is attested by an ACI Europe

report released recently which places Alicante above the growth of other Spanish tourist airports such as Malaga and Gran Canaria. At European level, these figures were the second best, behind only Cologne-Bonn with a growth of 19.8 percent. The cause, according to the report is the drop in demand for destinations such as Turkey and North Africa. Olivier Jankovec, CEO of ACI Europe, warns that balance still reflects the impact of the attacks in Istanbul airport. In June, Alicante continued to grow, more than 15.8 percent, just behind Gran Canaria.

NOT ALL DIY PROJECTS ADD VALUE TO YOUR HOME! Rebecca Serwotka – Your favourite local property expert, of Inmobiliaria Real Estate Agents in Ciudad Quesada.

Rebecca Serwotka – Your favourite local property expert, of Inmobiliaria Real Estate Agents in Ciudad Quesada. If you’ve ever aspired to be the next Tommy Walsh, then that may be fine depending on your level of expertise within the DIY field however, most people think they’re better than they actually are, and as I’ve seen many of these “attempts” fail. I want to share with you one particular property where I definitely would not have recommended the DIY project. I was called out to give a price assessment on a villa by German clients, where my first impression was “oh my goodness, this is an interesting design.” As I went

inside, the general layout of the home was fine. However, when they finally finished escorting me around the main house, they were very excited to show me, in their words “a fabulous extension that they’d done themselves!” They took me to the back of the house, and when I looked up, they had extended the property to make a second floor. Sounds good right? Wrong! Although the extension wasn’t to the best quality, the worst of it was how the access was gained. Instead of a regular staircase ascending to the newest part of the property, the homeowner had actually designed and built his own lift to take you upstairs. No, not a stair-lift… It was an actual lift that you stood in, and with the

press of a button, it shuddered as it took you to the higher level. Yes the homeowner was very proud of what he’d accomplished, but believe me, this DIY project was a definite failure. So unless you live in a multistorey building, lifts do not add value, least of all homemade ones!

Think property? Think us, because life’s complicated enough! See our advert in the centre pages of this newspaper. www.homes4u.es

Galician seafood is most exclusive in world

A child called‘Wolf’

Ultrapure water, anti-stress prescriptions and homegrown algae are some of the pampering techniques used to rear exquisite abalone – a green and blue shellfish also known as ear shells or sea snails whose size matters but whose price does not, when sampled by the seafood connoisseurs all around the world.

larvae. This is the critical stage of an extremely delicate process in which chemical products have been vetoed by GMA. It is due to the cultivation of this special food – as important to an abalone as a mother’s milk is to a human – that the Muros farm now produces such quality abalone. As they grow, they move on to

After 13 years of complex research, a small company founded by a group of biologists at the University of Santiago has managed to produce large abalones in a fish farm at the foot of the Rías Baixas, Galicia, which will finish up 10,000 km away in some of the most exclusive restaurants in Japan, China and South Korea. One of these four scientists is Óscar Santamaría, director of the project and cofounder of Galician Marine Aquaculture (GMA), who proudly displays a number of abalones measuring 9 cm, worth €10 apiece or €80 a kilo. They are the first abalones to be spawned and fostered in an area specifically selected for the quality of its water, which is sheltered from storms while facing the open sea. Bathed in this seawater, whose salt ratio, temperature, oxygen and bacteria content are monitored daily; these esteemed mollusks can grow happily after being spawned in a reproduction unit. “In Asia, they are farmed on rafts in the open sea and they can’t control the quality of the water as we can here,” says Santamaría, referring to the only fish farm in Spain with haliotis discus hannai – the Japanese variety of abalone – and the biggest of Europe’s only three producers. The biologists who got the project under way 13 years ago had the bright idea of setting up the farm while cultivating microalgae in their labs to feed the abalone

macroalgae made in Burgos from a recipe that is also the brainchild of the Galicians. Abalones are greedy eaters and feast for three years on these algae before they are ready to be eaten themselves. In their natural habitat, a kilo of abalones will devour 30 percent of their bodyweight a day. “We have to cultivate the algae ourselves or they would clean out the area,” says Santamaría.

A Madrid couple has finally received official permission to name their son Lobo, Spanish for ‘Wolf’, after a widely-covered battle with their local registry office. Ignacio and Maria Javierre welcomed the child on 12th July but were informed over the phone that they could not name him Lobo as they had planned. The name was rejected initially for its potential to do harm to the child because it’s an animal’s name, as well as on the grounds of being more commonly found as a last name. The parents responded by arguing that wolves stand for strength, protection and intelligence, gathering over 20,000 signatures on Change.com from people supporting their choice. Even Pablo Iglesias, the leader of the leftist Podemos Party, weighed in. Spain’s current laws regarding baby names can be found in Article 54 of the Civil Registry’s 20/2011 Law, which forbids any name which could offend a person’s dignity or lead to identity confusion or a name that a sibling already has. The Article also states that no parents in Spain may give a child more than two simple names or one compound name, which means that King Felipe VI’s name – officially Felipe Juan Pablo Alfonso de Todos los Santos de Borbón y Grecia - is not only a mouthful, but is also technically illegal in his own monarchy. While these three are the only official nation-wide rules, individual provinces’ Civil Registry offices can outline their own guidelines. It often boils down to the criteria of the particular public officer who is registering the name, which could be why as of 2015 there’s no one in Spain named Judas, Lucifer or Cain, but there are 30 men named Stalin, according to the National Statistics Institute. The case has reopened a national debate about what right governments have to regulate the names parents wish to give their children. Spanish laws used to be even more restrictive, requiring that every first name come from The Bible, but in recent decades parents have been given more liberty to bestow something unique or exotic on their child. That said, there are plenty of governments that strictly control what people can call their children. Iceland has a Naming Committee formed in 1991

Acquired taste Chefs from Galicia like Pedro Roca now feature abalone on their menu, a delicacy that the East Asian communities eat like sushi or sashimi, battered, grilled or “a feira” like octopus Galician-style. But despite being an expert on farming abalone, Santamaría finds it hard to describe the flavor. “It’s similar to octopus in texture, and to scallop in taste, but it’s not exactly the same. It tastes of the sea but not as strongly as the barnacle.” The Muros abalone farm, which employs a staff of 23, cost €10 million before it began to turn a profit. The first investor prepared to put money into it was Rosalía Mera, the late co-founder of Inditex, sometime after the project was first sketched out on a napkin in a bar in A Coruña by Santamaría and his partners. Thirteen years later, they are exporting 40,000 kg to East Asia and 26,000kg to Europe with a prized 9.5cm abalone expected by the end of the year.

that must approve any new name before it can be officially written on the birth certificate. China’s problems are partially technological, where baby names must be composed of characters that the state computer scanners can read and print on ID cards. Even Spain’s western neighbor, Portugal, regulates baby names,

Northwestern University in the US published a study called “Boys Named Sue: Disruptive Children and their Peers” that found that boys with more femininesounding names had more disciplinary problems than their male classmates, possibly as a reactionary effect to bullying, and another study showed a positive

providing an 80 page list of green-lighted names (and 2,600 rejected ones). English-speaking countries are among the most generous when it comes to parents’ freedom to choose, and other countries, including Spain, seem to be gradually widening their parameters, with citizens insisting that in a true modern democracy the state should have no say in what you name your child. However, numerous studies have shown that parents trying to be original and avoid the status quo are often doing more harm than good, and that names can have a serious impact on a person’s development and treatment.

correlation between unpopular names and juvenile delinquency. Researchers at Marquette University found that people with unusual names were less likely to be hired; New York University identified links between people with easier-to-pronounce names and higher-status position in the office Lobo may grow up to appreciate his unique moniker. But as parents in Spain and around the world continue to demand more freedom when it comes to naming their children, they might discover that just because you can call your son Superman (which you can) it doesn’t mean you should.

Benidorm animal park leads the way Benidorm is home to the first Bottlenose dolphin born through artificial insemination. Mundomar, the animal park in Benidorm famous for its dolphin and sea lion acrobatic shows, has just announced the birth of the first ever bottlenose dolphin in Spain to be conceived through artificial insemination. The baby dolphin, who will continue to live in the Mundomar complex, was born at 2.12am on 20th July through a pioneering artificial insemination programme never carried out in this

country before. The mother of the baby bottlenose is Aqua, one of the female dolphins that lives in the park. Exhaustive tests, medical controls and training were carried before the procedure, which involved inserting fresh semen that had been refrigerated into the female for the best results. Mundomar worked in collaboration with experts from the Department of Physiology at the University of Murcia to ensure the viability of the programme and its success. The pregnancy lasted

a total of 12 months, and the birth was “quick and without complications”. Another dolphin was also present at the birth: Maya, quite an advanced dolphin in age, who acted as the midwife. When Aqua gave birth, Maya helped the little one up to the surface so that it could breathe. Since its birth, the bottlenose calf has barely left its mother’s side and is enjoying swimming around in the Mundomar pools. This is Aqua’s second baby, although the first was conceived naturally and is now seven years old.

THINKING OF TYING THE KNOT IN SPAIN? This week we are moving completely away from our health and beauty approach and having a look at getting married here in Spain. This week we will look at Wedding Blessings and next week we will give you some information about legal and Catholic weddings here in Costa Blanca. It seems a good time to talk about this as many of you may be on holiday or have relatives staying and someone out there may want a wedding blessing or vow renewal here. A great many of the weddings we conduct over here are for couples living in the UK, Ireland, Scotland and some of the Scandinavian countries and we are able to arrange almost everything using email and telephone conversations. From arranging the venue, flowers, cake, cars, bridal gown , reception and the ceremony itself. It is quite possible to arrange your wedding in a few weeks or you can plan it for even a couple of years ahead. We are able to take care of everything that you wish for and this week I am going to tell you a little about what a ceremony here would involve and how it is planned. Because we are performing wedding blessings we can create the perfect ceremony for each individual and we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to conform to a particular defined protocol. Our promise is that we will create Your Ceremony..Your Way. However here are a few guidelines about what the ceremony might look like. WE always include a welcome and pay particular attention to those who have travelled a long way or even to those who are unable to attend. We always offer to include the Spanish Civil Marriage Code in Spanish and English. We always like to tell a short story about how the couple met, what they like to do together, why they wanted to marry in Spain, in short we paint a picture that helps to set the tone for the day. It might be serious, romantic, funny, whatever the couple want their day to be. We also include wedding vows, exchange of

rings, music and readings. We recently had a fabulous wedding in a Bodega and the brides three little nieces said a little piece taken from Winnie the Pooh which was perfect. We always have a Marriage Certificate , which is signed in the same way as in the UK with witnesses and normally a special piece of music during the signing. We always have a final blessing for the couple.

We can help with ideas for all of the ceremony and often with beach weddings we can include special elements such as Sand Ceremonies. I could talk all day about our wedding ceremonies but if you would like any further information please contact us via Facebook. Lynda Gibson Celebrant or Lyndyloo Weddings in Spain

I remember you mentioned a free version of Word that you could get from somewhere that is very similar to the one that comes with Microsoft Oﬃce but I can’t for the life of me remember the name or where to safely download it from. I’ve tried the free OpenOﬃce one but it seems very over complicated and I couldn’t get it

I’m not sure why Microsoft still give this app away for free as it will deﬁnitely keep us from paying for the overpriced Oﬃce version, maybe that’s why Microsoft don’t really plug it very much.

My grandson says I must destroy the disk before I dispose of the tower and that he can easily remove and smash the drive

Aunty Says; Hi Lilly. I can see you are using a Google Gmail account through your browser (Google Chrome) so all of your old emails plus your addresses book will be exactly as they appeared on your old tower PC. This is because your email bits & bobs are stored on

Val via email asks: Hello Aunty. Since upgrading to Windows 10 I’ve been advised to download my HP 2050 printer drivers onto my laptop to fix my scanning problems. The HP web site is a minefield and I am going around in circles. I would be very grateful for any advice you could offer. Aunty Says: Hi Val. Nearly all printer (and laptop) manufacturers will have a section on their website called “support” or “Downloads” where you can enter the model or serial number of your printer. You may be asked to choose which version of Windows you have and you should be taken to a page that lists all relevant drivers and software downloads. I generally download the first and largest one in the list as this is normally the full and latest version of what was on the CD/DVD that comes with a printer. Once download you should be prompted to run the install program. Let me know how you get on. Any problems then email me at auntyvirus@costablancapeople.com and I’ll see you all next week

Bird flies into aircraft engine and causes emergency landing A passenger jet en route from the UK to Spain had to make an emergency landing after a bird was sucked into one of its engines. The Thomas Cook TCX47MG flight from Glasgow to Mallorca left at 6.17am, but was diverted to Manchester around half an hour later following the incident, which left passenger shaken. The plane was able to land safely despite a bird being suck into one of the

Airbus A321’s engines and passengers were transferred to another flight to complete their journey, this time without incident. Fire crews surrounded the flight as it landed as a safety precaution. Passenger Kieran Houston, 20, from Glasgow, said that there was a loud noise heard clearly on the plane shortly after take-off. He said: “We took off and there was a loud rumble and vibration. Then there was an announcement there was a bird in the engine. At the time of the emergency landing a Thomas Cook spokesman said: “Passengers will be transferred to another aircraft in Manchester and will continue their journey with minimal delay and we are very sorry for any

inconvenience. “The aircraft (G-TCDN) will be examined by our maintenance experts at our main hangar, which is at Manchester Airport and any damage will be repaired. “Safety is always the highest priority in aviation. Unfortunately, birds being sucked into the jet engines is something that does occasionally happen throughout the aviation industry and our crews train regularly to ensure they know how to handle it.” On one occasion that hit the headlines more than 200 starlings flew straight into the path of a Germania airlines flight to Kosovo as it took off from Dusseldorf. The pilot circled the airport and landed safely 45 minutes later.

Passenger runs across tarmac to catch missed flight A passenger who was desperate to catch his missed flight, amazed staff at Madrid airport by dashing across the tarmac to try and catch the plane. Of course missing you flight is stressful and inconvenient, nit to mention the extra expense but most people would throw themselves on the mercy of their airline or seek solace in the airport bar – but not this passenger who decided that risking life and limb to get on the plane destined for the Canary Islands. To add insult to injury, the flight he was chasing wasn’t even his flight and he was later arrested for his endeavours. A video, shot by airport workers and posted on Facebook, shows the unidentified man clutching his bags and jumping off an air bridge – the extendable corridor that connects airport departure gates with plane doors – and on to the asphalt of Barajas airport in the hope of reaching his plane in time.

“This is how passengers in Madrid behave when they don’t arrive in time to catch their planes,” read the post. “This particular passenger missed his Ryanair flight and, however incredible it may seem, got through the different security procedures that Spain’s airport authority Aena has in place at its airports.” The poster went on to point out that Spain is supposedly on its second highest anti-terror alert level. A spokesman for Aena confirmed the incident had taken place at about 9pm . “The passenger had reached the gate with his boarding pass after clearing security,” he said. “He broke through a fire escape, the doors opened and he got out that way.” Although the alarm was sounded and the Guardia Civil were called, he added, the man still managed to board his flight and get to Gran Canaria, where he was arrested by police.

The spokesman stressed that the man, who has not been named, had passed the required security checks, adding: “This person had cleared security and had no terrorist motivations. He was never suspected of being a terrorist.” The Guardia Civil said that while the man had been stopped by airport workers and told to wait for the police, he had not done so. “It seems that he got on to the tarmac because he’d missed his flight but the plane he was trying to get on wasn’t even his,” said a spokeswoman. “When he realised that, he got on the flight to Gran Canaria.” The spokeswoman said that after being questioned by officers on the island, the man had been released but would still face punishment. Ryanair declined to comment on what it termed a “security breach”, saying it was a matter for Madrid airport police.

Killer ecstasy tablet warning Brits are being warned of ‘killer’ ecstasy pills in Spain, which are five times stronger than usual dosage. Spanish police have warned tourists of the dangers of these pills. Ninety of the lethal pills – just one of which contains enough MDMA to kill, according to police – were found during an arrest in Ibiza. The pills were found to be imprinted with the Music On logo, a

popular techno night at the Amnesia nightclub. Spain’s National Police said in a statement: “The National Police in Ibiza has arrested two individuals, a Senegalese man aged 35 and a 24-yearold Moroccan, accused of stealing €11,500 (£9,800) from a hotel safe. The individuals gained the confidence of the victim and whilst one

distracted him, the other managed to get into the area where the safe was and took the money inside. “Days afterwards when he was arrested, one of the men had €3,500 (£2,985) on him and drugs including 90 ecstasy tablets, 23.79 grams of cocaine, 3.4 grams of MDMA and 48 grams of liquid ecstasy. “The really alarming thing about this case is that an ecstasy tablet normally has about 80 milligrams of MDMA and in this case, the 90 pills which imitated the logo of a well-known Ibiza party, had 400mg. This amount is around five times the normal dose and a single tablet can produce death. “Other serious side-effects include heart attacks, epileptic attacks, cardiac arrhythmia, and seizures as well as hyperthermia where the body temperature rises about 39 degrees Celsius.” Police fear the fatal drugs may still be doing the rounds or are available on the black market.

Gig Guide

CostaBlancaPeople August 17th - 22nd 2016

August 16th - August 22nd 2016

fter receiving an email from one of our many readers, I thought that I could clarify the point that was made concerning addresses of venues in the gig guide. I am unfortunately unable to put street names of the venues in this guide due to the lack of space available. With so much going on over such a large area it is only possible to give the venue name, general area plus act and start times. If there is an act that you would like to see and don’t know the venue – just go onto Google. The venues Facebook page and map should come up for most venues. Alternatively, please email me and I can send you the link. This week is a joy for Phil Collins fans as Rob Lewis returns from his current cruise work to amaze and thrill audiences from this Tuesday when he will be making a much awaited return to Pablo’s International in Playa Flamenca. You can also catch him on Wednesday on stage in Villamartin Plaza. Me, I would go to both as I can never get enough of the one and only Phil Collins act on the Costa Blanca. Tuesday also sees the very first visit to Legends in Playa Flamenca of the top rock n roll band, the extremely popular Woody and The Peckers. As the only Buddy Holly band that I know of in this area, then rock n rollers this is the place to be. Hot Chocolate and Bob Marley fans can get their fill as Greg Bannis nears the end of his tour of Spain for this year. He can be found from Wednesday at the Black Bull, San Miguel. He will be in Gran Alacant, Busot, Playa Flamenca and even La Manga this week. I have had the pleasure to watch Greg perform and it is a pleasure. The man has a charm and sense of humour that leaves ones face aching from the sheer joy that he brings to every audience he draws into his show. Trust me – I know about these things! Saturday you are going to just be spoilt for choice. Depending on where you live you can see Tina Turner in Quesada, Bella Luna in Lo Crispin, Diverse Duo in Santa Pola de Este or Elvis in Blue Lagoon. That is one lot of big talent and I really don’t know how you are going to chose. Whoever and which ever acts you chose to go and see I am sure they will be delighted to see you. After all, that is why acts do the job in the first place – to make you happy. And if you are happy then everyone is. With a line up like this on then you couldn’t but help to be beaming from ear to ear. If you would like your events in this guide, they are free. Just email me the details to letsrockshows live@gmail.com. To book acts please go to my new site www.jaxlawson.com Shows dates can be found on www.lrshows.com Love life, love music and support your venues and acts. Jax Lawson

■ CHRIS DARWEN chris@costablancapeople.com

I really hope you are not reading this expecting any kind of in-depth reporting on the Olympics. If this is not your first time reading this column, you should know what to expect by now. Who wants to talk about gold medals when there are huge Capybaras inhabiting the greens of Rio? In the absence of some of golf’s top names, the adorable rodents have become the stars of the show and are much nicer to talk about than some of the other rodents actually participating in the games. I suppose I have to give you some update on how Team GB have performed to date. Well, there were lots of gold medals in the cycling and rowing which once again shows the Brits are at their very best when sitting on their backsides. Just imagine being a British cyclist and

not having a gold medal to your name? Do the others even talk to you? Talk about being the odd one out. Mo Farah won gold, as expected, in the 10,000 metres. It’s amazing what a good coach can do for

you. Jess Ennis-Hill went close, but not close enough. The now former Olympic champion picked up silver, seeing off the threat of fellow Brit Katarina JohnsonThompson but being caught by the Belgian Thiam. Retirement now looms for Ennis-Hill. Greg Rutherford, somewhat fortunate to even qualify for the final, lost his title but took bronze in the long jump.

Oh, there is more. There is so much more. Justin Rose showed Rory McIlroy what he could have won if the Northern Ireland golfer hadn’t been scared of a fly. Rose held off the challenge of Open winner Henrik Stenson to take gold. Max Whitlock won two gold medals in an hour, relegating Louis Smith to silver. Two gold is all well and good Max, but you’ve never won Strictly, have you? Andy Murray successfully defended his tennis gold, beating Argentine Del Potro in four sets of exhilarating tennis. Nick Dempsey picked up silver in wind surfing and the most patient of sailors, Giles Scott is guaranteed gold at the time of writing. Scott would have surely won gold before but had to wait for Ben Ainslie to call it a day. Usain Bolt put “reformed” drug cheat Justin Gaitlin back in his box and won his third straight 100m gold in 9.81. Long jumper Greg Rutherford had his phone stolen shortly after he got back to his hotel, including pictures and videos of

his young son, Milo. That is why you back them up to the cloud everyone. It shouldn’t need an Olympic athlete to go through heartache for everyone to go and change the settings on their device. The Chinese are a romantic squad. Diver Qin Kai proposed to silver medallist He Zi straight after their medal ceremony. Maybe he was just trying to cheer her up after losing? That’s enough of the Olympics for now. Pakistan battered England by ten wickets in the fourth and final Test at the Oval. The victory was enough to tie the Test series in a summer where England have played some brilliant cricket and some completely abject cricket. The biggest factors playing in Hales, Vince and Ballance potentially retaining their places for the tour of India is the lack of ready made replacements staking their claim. Still, credit to Pakistan’s golden oldies Younis Khan and Misbah. They share 80 years between them and are still cashing in on the runs.

Tales from the Top Flight by Chris Darwen Well, that was worth waiting for, wasn’t it? We had months of build up, we had suspense, there was uncertainty. We didn’t know what was going to happen. All that before the standard football anticlimax. Gary Lineker and his “pants” is what I am referring to, of course. And I use “pants” in its loosest sense, almost as loose as the fit on Gary’s boxers. If the rest of Lineker’s clothes were sized to the same scale as the boxer shorts branded with crest of the champions, Lineker would look like a child in his father’s suit. Anyway, at least Gary turned up on Saturday which was more than could be said for Leicester. Heading to newly promoted Hull, the team with no manager and a mere 13 fit senior professionals, City were surprisingly underwhelming, losing 2-1. The game did see the Premier League’s first ever synchronised double overhead kick, with Diomande just shading Hernandez for the ownership of the goal. Mahrez netted from the spot before Snodgrass rifled home a winning goal that suggests, finally, that the Leicester dream is over. It is so over that Vardy took to punching himself in the face. Pep is already doing his best to become a true Manchester lad, choosing his Willy over his Hart on a Saturday night out in town. Joe Hart was dropped due to the fact he is not very good at passing the ball, as opposed to not very good at keeping the ball out of the net which would have been far more obvious. Guardiola is already baffling the television pundits who, supposedly, would have researched the fact that he likes his full backs to sit infield when in possession. Research? Not one bit of it as McManaman and Hoddle were so baffled by the inverted full back concept that I switched to Spanish commentary to listen to commentators that are familiar with the Catalan’s ways. Pep did not have it all his own way as Sunderland’s new manager David Moyes looked like he was going to escape with a point following Defoe’s leveller. However, what happened next was classic Moyes. Defoe off, Paddy McNair on to shore things up and defend the point in the hand. The only problem was Paddy McNair had a Paddy McNair and scored

the own-goal that gave City all three points. There was nothing McNair could really have done to be fair to him except, maybe, not join Sunderland in the first place. Still, there is a bit for Pep to learn. You cannot just rock up and stick Kolarov in at centre back and expect everything to fall into place. We also caught our first glimpse of a Jose Mourinho Manchester United side. Fellaini and Mata started, which cannot be Jose still angling for new players, can

are attempting to win the league playing some kind of “defenderless” football. Sure, there were eight of them on the field in theory but they were pretty hard to spot throughout the 90 minutes. Walcott missed a penalty, which could well be Arsenal’s 2016/17 season summed up before it even gets going. The fact that he scored 60 seconds later is irrelevant as King Klopp’s side tore Arsenal to pieces before clocking off twenty minutes early. Both Spurs and Everton start the new

for incredibly dull 1-0 wins for the away sides. After the match Pulis said he felt his side were a little stale and hoped for some new faces before the window shuts. I don’t think it’s the players Tony, it’s your tactics. Still, you won’t get relegated. Burnley, on the other hand, they just might. What have we learned from the first weekend of real football? Leicester having two speed merchants up top is a great idea, but it would help if they didn’t

season full of hope. Spurs will be hoping to push on from last season’s surprisingly pleasing season and Everton finally have some money and a manager who has proven adept and spending transfer kitties wisely in the past. Therefore a draw was the most likely outcome at Goodison and that is exactly what we got. One mystery remained after the final whistle and I confess to having not looked this up. Dele Alli seems to have dropped his last name and only has his first name on the back of his shirt now. Well, if it is good enough for Sergio Busquets ... Southampton and Watford matched Middlesboro and Stoke in the 1-1 stakes, debut goals for Southampton’s Redmond and Boro’s Negredo. Burnley and Swansea also managed to match Palace and WBA

both run in the same direction. Mike Phelan may come to regret winning that match as he could well end up getting the gig and becoming the first manager sacked this season. Pep is going to bring a style of football that is going to confuse both pundits and average players, so watch out Delph I think your number might be up. United will be exactly the same as every other Mourinho side, Arsene has delayed his retirement one season too long yet again and Jurgen Klopp is building something very, very special. I mean, he even got Adam Lallana to beat the keeper. PS: Don’t forget to check out my daily blog, www.talesfromthetopflight.com – if you subscribe I will send you a free gift!

Double overhead kick. it? With Pogba still recovering from his summer holiday it was left to the afore mentioned Spaniard, Rooney and Zlatan with a fine goal to see off Eddie Howe’s men. Jose is Jose after all and putting money on United to regain a Champions League place seems money well invested already. Mourinho has also assured Depay and Rashford that they have a future at United, whilst not reassuring Tyler Blackett, James Wilson and Will Keane. Straight up the A19 lads, I think that’s where United’s new reserve team plays? Januzaj can give you directions. Titles are not won or lost in the first game, a fact that might be some comfort to Arsene Wenger. Both he and Klopp have been known as tactical innovators in their respective careers and clearly both

Busters Golf Society This week’s open match was fished on the Embalsa de Pedrera on the 9th August. All the matches that are now going to be fished at Pedrera have been officially booked with the Valencia Federation. This is only the second match that has been fished here in approximately three years; hopefully with the bait going in the fish will start to congregate on the edges of the lake and fishing will improve. Once again the dirty picnicers and pleasure fishermen have left all their rubbish behind, in carrier bags and bottles and cans just thrown on the bank, last Saturday there were two Russians fishing with nine rods out, why are the Petrona not doing anything about it? Fish were hard to come by with seven dry nets, but Mick Hill excelled with the top spot of five carp and one Barbel taken on the feeder using corn. Well

done! There was no bleak showing at all. 1st: Mick Hill with 6.260kgs fishing the feeder using corn 2nd: Bill Reade with 5.220kgs fishing the waggler and straight lead with hemp and tares 3rd: Danny Kerkhof with 3.560kgs fishing the feeder using pellet 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 965 328 368 Rods & Reels We have no matches during the month of August, but will re start with open matches on 7th September There are still some vacancies at the Club and if anyone is interested in joining please contact Derek Swann on 966 729 293 or 617 283 503 Tight Lines, Terry Screen

Our August outing took us to Murcia’s Alto Real golf course, once again what a pleasure to play there, one look at the course told us that we were going to have a pleasant day’s golf, the course was in immaculate condition, however as is the norm there, it was never going to be a pushover, we had a smaller turnout this month due to holidays and the August sun to name a couple of reasons, getting to the course proved a little more difficult if like me you weren’t watching where you were. Onto the results. Joe Sheehan took first place with thirty one points, with Martin Collins coming second scoring twenty eight points, as we had a smaller field this month we just paid out cash prizes for the first two places, our nearest the pins were: hole five Ailish Sheehan, the eighth wasn’t reached in one, Duncan Williamson won the tenth and the seventeenth was hit in one by Joe Sheehan, the three players received a sleeve of Srixon golf balls, Joe and Duncan both holed their putts for a two

and shared the two’s pot which had been carried over from our July game. To finish the prizes Ailish Sheehan also won the soccer card. Next month we will be travelling to Bonalba’s golf resort and Spa, to play the second of our yearly trophies, this time it will be for the Lee Barber Memorial Shield donated by Brian and Nikki Ead and Brian Jones. I hope the course is in as good a condition as the last time we played there as Bonalba is another one of our favourite courses, I have no doubt that it will be. Busters Golf Society is a small friendly group of like minded people who play on the first Friday of the month, depending on the time of the year we generally have between sixteen and twenty four players, over the four years since we first formed the Society some of our original members have moved on, either returned to their country of origin or have ventured to pastures new, so we are looking for a few more members to swell our ranks.

If you are interested in joining our Society (it’s free) then please email me Barry Grinsell at bustersgolfsociety@ hotmail.com .

This year there were forty Societies competing for the Summer Cup Trophy and a table full of prizes for the event which is organised by The Vega Baja Premier Golf League. Despite the recent prolonged heatwave there was a wind that tested the players, but no searing sun for the Costa’s hardy golfers. As always it was a close fought event and only 10 points covered the top six places. The results were as follows: 1st: The Med Bar Golf Society:

Andy Drinkall & Ray Muttock 73 points 2nd: Elite Golf Society: Jerry Coneybeare & Doug Spiring 68 points 3rd: Quesada Golf Society: John Dunnion & Roy Kavanagh 64 points Joint 4th: Black Bear Golf Society, Los Caballeros Golf Society and Gran Alacant Golf Society Best Individual: The Med Bar Golf Society: Andy Drinkall 38 points

Longest Drive: Ladies: Costa Blanca Golf Society: Jan Boultbee Men: Los Caballeros Golf Society: Jack Simpson Value for Money - VBPGL: Editania Golf Society Andrew Osborne & Paul Beamish-Knight The tournament has become well established and a very popular event at the Font del Llop Golf Resort, it has been booked again for 2017 scheduled for the 4th August and already Golf Societies have secured their place.

Last Wednesday the society played the course on its doorstep, La Marquesa. The condition of the course was generally disappointing with diggers and workmen everywhere and quite a few green-side bunkers not in use. Hopefully when all the work has finished, which will take some time, the course will be much improved. Despite this most players had an enjoyable day. It was a bit overcast which was welcomed by all. After a few drop outs the numbers were down and we had 21 players contesting an individual stableford competition. The winner for the fourth time running was Brent Hollings with 34 points, who if he continues his winning streak will soon be playing off scratch. Well done Brent. In second place with 33 points was Ian Fogerty. In third place with 30 points was Janet Candelin. In fourth place with 29 points was Gordon McGregor. There were a few players on 28 points who just

missed out on a prize. The “nearest the pin” winners were Bert Morl, Darrylldinho Wright, Tony Patterson and Simon Fullerton who came in with the best guest score of 30 points. Simon had a good day as he also won the scratchcard with Stirling. There were 3 2’s on the day, Bert Morl, Paul Flanaghan and Brent Hollings. In the annual singles knock-out competition Ian Fogerty beat Paul Flanaghan and Darryll Wright beat Roy Kavanagh. Both advance to the semi-finals. The next society game is on Wednesday 24 August at Font De Llop. The format of the competition will be a Texas Scramble. Anyone in the Quesada area looking to join a very friendly golf society and play golf once a fortnight at a wide variety of courses at a very reasonable cost, should contact the Chairman & Membership Secretary Les Pancott on 966 716 723.
