So much more to Torrevieja Councillor Fanny Serrano is passionate about promoting Torrevieja, not only as a summer tourist destination but throughout the year. ‘There is so much more to the town,’ she explains. ‘Half the territory of Torrevieja is in fact taken up by the natural parks and lakes which many people know very little about.’ In order to improve their knowledge in an interesting and enjoyable way, La Mata natural park has been advertising its

guided tours. In the last issue of Costa Blanca People we published information about the five different tours that are available on Saturdays and Sundays and which you can apply to join on www.turismodetorrevieja.com. The tours are conducted in both Spanish and English and can also be organised in other languages if necessary.

It’s not only the natural lakes that are an asset to the town. Torrevieja is particularly well-equipped for water sports and there are opportunities to sample some of these on Thursday 15th September at La Mata beach near the red cross station. Between 11am and 8pm there will be opportunity to find out more about windsurfing and other nautical sports. ‘We are also keen to promote Torrevieja as a sports city. We have the weather for it after all,’ says Councillor Serrano. ‘However, we can’t do all this alone and we have grouped together with other towns in the Vega Baja to brand ourselves as an area of interest not just in the summer season but throughout the year too.’ With so many people becoming unemployed once the summer tourists have gone, attracting a more even cycle of visitors would help boost employment and the financial standing of the town too.

...we can’t do all this alone and we have grouped together with other towns in the Vega Baja to brand ourselves as an area of interest not just in the summer season but throughout the year too.’ Councillor Fanny Serrano

BITE SIZE New hours at Torrevieja’s animal shelter NEWS: The rescue ship, the Sar Mesana, has been helping out in Torrevieja over the summer. It has been docked at the salt pier for almost two months and has been able to help out with emergencies and rescues during that time. Now it will return to its base, leaving Torrevieja without a permanent rescue boat of its own. On Wednesday 7th September, the mayor of Torrevieja, José Manuel Dolón presented a traditional Torrevieja salt boat to the captain of the SAR Mesana, Jorge García. The gift was presented on behalf of the town to thank them for their services. The mayor is keen that Torrevieja should have a ship of its own to work in this capacity at some point in the future.

The school year starts again Much to the relief of many families, the almost three months of summer holiday is over and children in Torrevieja’s infant, primary and secondary schools are back to work. In Torrevieja there are 12 public schools with 1,847 children in the infant years (3,4,5 years old) and 4,450 in the primary years. There are 2,776 students in compulsory secondary education and 932 doing higher level courses. One of the first tasks for many parents will be voting on whether their school should practice the extended day or not. Continued on page 4

Councillor Carmen Morate has publicised the new opening times at Torrevieja’s animal shelter. The facility will now be open on Tuesdays, Thursday and Saturdays from 10am until 12pm. The veterinary service will also be available during the same hours but only on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The 24 hour pick up service for stray animals is temporarily out of action. The change in visiting hours has been brought in to coincide with the times when the groups of volunteers are there. The volunteers help out with cleaning and walking the dogs. Councillor Morate explains; ‘the volunteers are the ones who best know the animals in the shelter and can help match the animal with their new potential home.’ Lack of council workers has meant that the 24 hour service has temporarily had to be suspended. Of the three workers there previously, one is on holiday and one left. Now, one full-time worker has the sole responsibility of looking after the animals. The priority currently is to ensure that the 80 animals already in the shelter are taken care of. If someone should find a stray animal or injured animal in the street then Councillor Morate would like to

remind us of the procedure. The animal should be taken to the nearest vets where they can check to see whether it has a micro chip or not in order to find its owner. Placing its picture on Facebook can also help to relocate the pet with its owner if it is only lost.

Grant to neuter stray cats Some good news is that Torrevieja has been given a grant of €14,000 to sterilise cats. The problem of feral cats has continued to plague the city during the summer inspite of the efforts of Carmen’s team to address the problem. ‘We are delighted to have been offered this money and it is very much needed,’ says Carmen. ‘However, the money must have been used by October. That means by then we have to have captured 200 cats.’ Councillor Morate needs help to ensure that the money is correctly spent before the deadline. Seven vets have been officially named to carry out the task. Carmen asks people with knowledge of colonies of feral cats to contact their nearest vet. ‘We haven’t yet drawn up the exact plan for how we are going to accomplish this,’ she says, ‘but if people contact their vet we can keep them informed and with their help we can put this money to really good use.’ Suzanne O’Connell

Family of burglars BITE SIZE arrested in Torrevieja NEWS: The National Police has arrested eight people in Torrevieja in connection with burglaries in Alicante and Murcia. The people arrested, three men and five women, are between the ages of 20 and 27 and are all members of the same family. The operation began with the identification of four women who were all carrying tools associated with breaking and entering. Two identifications were made in Alicante and two in Cartagena and this led to further investigations. Arrests were subsequently made when the burglars were

trains in Alicante Province. During the course of their investigation, the police established that before carrying out a robbery, the thieves would change their clothes and used different means of transport in order to avoid suspicion. They also took different routes from the scene of the crime and were adept at avoiding being followed. However, in spite of this ‘professionalism’, the police from Alicante and Cartagena were able to identify the robbers as based inTorrevieja and a raid was organised to detain the perpetrators. The

Films in English Torrevieja’s cinema, Cines IMF, is located near Habaneras and Ozone. The cinema is reasonably priced and comfortable but often appears to be under used. Although the majority of films are shown in Spanish, there are also some films in English. Look out for the initials V.O.S which mean ‘version original subtitulada’. These films are shown in their original language and have Spanish subtitles. This week, for example, Ben-Hur is showing and tickets can be purchased at a cost of €7 or €5 on Monday and Wednesday spectators’ day. The website torrevieja.com advertises films that are being shown in English.

trying to break in to two homes in Alicante and Murcia. The investigation focused on the homes of those detained and the number of crimes they were linked to escalated. The family were living in two rented houses and a number of objects were seized relating to the crimes they had committed. In most cases the accused had reached areas of Murcia and Alicante using public transport. The police put into operation checks on travellers on all the bus routes from Torrevieja as well as regional

robbers used a variety of tools to carry out their crimes including screwdrivers and these were also seized. Although the investigation is continuing, the thieves have so far been linked to robberies in Murcia, Cartagena, Alicante,Guardamar del Segura and Benidorm. The burglaries were wellorganised with each person having their particular role. The women were the key authors of the crimes whilst the men were the leaders of the organisation. Suzanne O’Connell

Paddle surf is an up and coming sport which is attracting people of many different ages. Club Deportivo de Torrevieja Surf hosted the ninth stage of the Mediterranean SUP on Thursday 8thSeptember. SUP means Stand Up Paddle and the sport is an offshoot of surfing. Unlike traditional surfing, paddle boarders stand on their boards and use a paddle to move through the water. Hundreds of participants congregated on La Mata beach to show off their skills from 9am. There were competitions for children and the less experienced as well as older experts. Those occupying the beach at this time found the sight Continued on page 5

Fire in Torrealmendros With much publicity around the recent wildfires in Spain, it’s not surprising that people were anxious to see smoke rising from the urbanisation Torrealmendros in Torrevieja. Firefighters were called to extinguish a blaze there on Saturday 10th September. A fire had started amongst foliage opposite the main entrance to the urbanisation which also lies close to the Torretas. The fire broke out at around 2pm and spread to some trees. The Guardia Civil stopped traffic outside the urbanisation and by 3.30pm the fire was out. No houses or other premises were affected.

Franco plaques removed Club Náutico in Torrevieja has been discretely removing the plaques and referencesin its premises dedicated to Franciso Franco. Franco had previously been made honorary president of the club. Although Club Náutico is a private club the decision was taken to remove these memorials to Spain’s dictator. The club sometimes attracts public funds and its premises occupy a central spot in Torrevieja’s harbour. Club Náutico also works in conjunction with the town hall and events are sometimes hosted there.

The engravings of Antonia Mayol Antonia Mayol is a talented engraver whose work reflects emotions, landscapes, idols, myths and other

themes in an imaginative form. Some of her latest work will be on display in the exhibition room of the Virgen del Carmen centre from the 15th to the 30th September. The exhibition will be launched on the 15th at 8pm. If you miss the opening, you can see the engravings by visiting the centre from Monday to Friday from 8.30am until 9pm. On Saturdays and Sundays opening times are 9.30am until 8.30pm.

Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in Europe among men. Each year about 25,000 new cases are detected in Spain. However, when detected early, 90% of tumours can be cured. HELP Vega Baja in conjunction with Quirónsalud, Torrevieja, have combined to offer free early detection tests to HELP members. They have also now been able to extend the offer to members of Age Concern too.The programme will be rolled out throughout the year and starts on the 12th – 16th September. It is open to all male members over the age of 45 or over 40 years where there is a family history of prostate cancer. ‘We are very excited about this newly formed collaboration between our charity and Quirónsalud, Torrevieja,’ said Michele Masson, President of HELP Vega Baja,‘and we are very grateful that our members have been offered this wonderful opportunity of taking part in the various events they are holding throughout the year. We would ask people to follow our Facebook page (Help Vega Baja) and our website www.helpvegabaja.com as details of all the events will be placed there. As a charity we are also very aware of the importance of charities working together and we are therefore pleased to announce that with the prior agreement of Quirónsalud, we have been able to

A‘pleno’experience If you’re short of something to do on the last Thursday of the month at 5pm then why not go to the third floor of Torrevieja town hall and witness a pleno. This is the council meeting when decisions are made, policies challenged and the public can also have their say. On Friday 9th September it was an extraordinary meeting during which the annual budget or ‘presupestos’ was presented. The budget was announced by the Councillor for finance, José Hurtado, and totals approximately 98 million euros. Proposals include: • €2,625,000 for the infrastructure for waste collection • €2,185,853 for eGovernment – a requirement for town councils • €1,137,923 for waste disposal lorries • 469,800 for training workshops • 219,000 for equipment for the local police • 132,585 for replenishment of local parks and gardens • 102,591 sports facilities

All the major councillors were there and it was good to see them in person rather than on photos. This was a relatively short meeting of only half an hour’s length. Budget discussions will continue with an extraordinary plenary session on Friday 16th. Most of the plenos continue for much longer and follow a set agenda. During the first part of the meeting the town council comments on what has been achieved in the previous month. This is then followed by an opportunity for the opposition to raise questions. Finally people from the public gallery can ask questions based upon the content of the meeting so far. They must declare who they are and what their question is. Although on Friday 9th there was only a handful in the audience, this is not usually the case and there are some constant attenders. ‘Sometimes the discussion gets quite heated,’ explains Councillor Carmen Morate. ‘We have some regular participants who have particular concerns.’ Suzanne O’Connell

Attack plan foiled A Barcelona man 'planned Orlando-style attack' and bragged about it on social networks, but the suspect wasn’t quite as clever as he thought after police in Barcelona arrested him. The 36-year-old man was planning to stage an Orlando-style attack on homosexuals in the city. The accused, from Mataró in the province of Barcelona, had uploaded 31 videos on YouTube showing himself with a Walther P22 9mm pistol and encouraging people to shoot gay men, lesbians and bisexual men and women in the head and ‘treat them worse than animals’. He published numerous tweets to the same effect. One of his videos referred to the August LGB Pride festival in Barcelona, telling viewers he had ‘13 days to prepare’ for a mass shoot-out. He referred to homosexuals as ‘sick’, ‘AIDS-ridden’, ‘drug addicts’, ‘ill’ and ‘abominations of nature’ who should be ‘exterminated’. The accused was discovered after various Twitter users, including an LGB association in Madrid, tagged the National Police - @policia – in his comments. YouTube had already removed videos he had posted in the past because of their ‘inappropriate content’. The suspect has an existing criminal record for grievous bodily harm and for domestic violence, and was under a search and arrest warrant issued by a Barcelona court as well as a ban on owning or handling firearms. His actions fall within the category of ‘hate crime’, meaning he could face between one and four years in jail and, as this is not a first offence, even if his sentence is less than two years, he would still have to serve it in custody.

The Reach out Fashion show returns Reach Out’s free Fashion Show on Friday 16th September at 2pm at the Marina Bar, Calle de las Rosas Torrevieja. The fashion show will represent the great clothing and cheap prices that can be found at the Reach Out charity shop on Calle Doña Sinforosa 8. The clothing modelled will be on sale after the fashion show together with other clothes, jewellery, bags and shoes. There will be a raffle, tombola, name the gorilla and a host of other stalls to complete the event which will hopefully be as successful as last shows. Food and drink will be available to purchase too. Reach Out is a humanitarian charity based in Torrevieja, helping the town’s homeless men and women and families living in poverty by providing food, clothing and support.

Javea fires were arson attacks The Spanish Civil Guard is looking for the arsonists believed to have set the fires that have scorched and destroyed more than 812 hectares of land in and near Jávea, in the north of the Alicante Mediterranean coast. More than 1,400 people had been evacuated from their homes, in an area with large British and German expat communities. Authorities have reently allowed residents to return to their houses to assess the damage from the flames, which reduced several properties to ashes and threatened 16 residential estates in Benitatxell and Jávea. “This was an act of environmental terrorism,” said Valencian regional premier Ximo Puig about a blaze that has also ravaged parts of the natural reserve of La Granadella, a protected green area south of Jávea. Investigators believe that arsonists may have started as many as five new fires in La Granadella as late as Monday afternoon, when the area was already full of firefighting personnel. Compulsive fire-starters are also thought to have sparked the original fire in Benitatxell last Sunday. Seprona, the Civil Guard’s environmental protection department, is questioning witnesses and asking for citizen cooperation in finding the alleged culprits. “We want to hear about any leads,” said Juan Carlos Moragues, the government delegate in the region. Authorities underscored that the new Penal Code includes new, harsher punishment for these crimes, and that “whoever deliberately starts a fire is committing a crime and will feel the full weight of the law.” Regional authorities reported that water was being dumped every four minutes on the affected area, and that the fires have now been contained.

Particularly high temperatures and windy weather have hampered fire-fighting efforts, while the dryness of the terrain in this drought-parched part of Spain helped the flames spread quickly. Regional and national authorities deployed growing resources as the fires grew in scope throughout Sunday night and Monday. Military personnel joined the battle against the flames yesterday, along with 28 aircraft and 16 land vehicles.

Arrests

Two teenagers have been arrested for the fire that tore through Javea town in the early hours of the morning. The fire hit the area, near Benidorm, seeing locals being put up in schools, restaurants and hotels. Around 20 homes have been destroyed, with the blaze continuing to raze the town to the ground. Police have closed roads, with three fires taking place in Cumbres de Sol, Granadella and Playa del Arenal, all starting in the same afternoon and evening. Thousands of people have evacuated the towns near the fire.

Rajoy fails final round of voting

I

n an identical result to the first round of the in-house voting saw Mariano Rajoy (PP) fail in his second and final attempt to be invested as president, with only 170 votes in favour to 180 against, and nobody abstaining. Each and every MP voted individually and in viva voce, and the left-wing PSOE's Pedro Sánchez reiterated his party's ‘no’ – his abstention being crucial to allowing Rajoy to govern again. Referring once again to funding cuts in welfare, health, education and other key social areas whilst case after case of corruption came to light - with accusations of inflated public works estimates and cash bribes from companies, the surplus of which was used to pay for electoral campaigns and even 'buy' voters, according to court investigations – Sánchez said he could not vote for a party which went against all the PSOE and its voters stood for. Also, due to the PSOE's in-house rules, paid-up members would be required to give their majority backing to Sánchez's supporting Rajoy, which

they have not, and means it is technically out of his hands. The public may not see it this way when it goes to a third general election in December, although Pedro Sánchez hinted that it may not be the end of the road and said later he would call the leader of left-wing independents Podemos, Pablo Iglesias and centre-right Ciudadanos head, Albert Rivera, this coming week. “Even Ciudadanos, who agreed to back you, admitted publicly it did not trust you or your party,” Sánchez threw at Rajoy, adding that the acting president was 'the worst-rated in the history of democracy' according to public opinion. Rivera had drawn up a 44-page programme of actions covering 150 points relating to every area of the economy, social matters, employment, science, elderly care and education, including six 'non-negotiable' conditions to guard against corruption and reverse some of the damage it had caused so far. In the presidential debate preceding

the first round of in-house votes, Rivera said he did not trust the PP and for this reason had made them commit to measures that allowed the rest of the Chamber to keep them under scrutiny. But he warned that if Rajoy's investiture

failed, their pact would expire. In response, Parliamentary spokesman Rafael Hernando burst out: “We don't sign deals just for 15 minutes.” Pablo Iglesias, of Unidos Podemos – the coalition of Podemos and Izquierda Unida (United Left), formed ahead of the June elections – addressed Pedro

www.costablancapeople.com

Sánchez more than Rajoy, warning: “This could be your last chance; don't waste it.” Basque Nationalist Party (PNV) leader Aitor Esteban, who had told Rajoy two days earlier that he had 'looked high and low for reasons' to support the PP's bid, once again reiterated his 'no', saying the same would be the case both before and after the Basque regional elections on 25th September.

No support from Catalunya The fact Catalunya Left Republicans's (ERC) Gabriel Rufián, who will only back a potential president who allows a referendum on the region's independence, produced a map showing not one province in Catalunya coloured in blue following the last elections. Turning to Rivera, who had also struck a deal with Sánchez after the December elections which failed because of Podemos' refusal to back it, Rufián called him 'the Smithers of Spanish politics', referring to the closet-gay Simpsons character who shows blind adoration for his and Homer Simpson's malevolent boss Montgomery Burns. Now, either Sánchez, Rivera and Iglesias will get their heads together and come up with the goods, or Spain will go back to the polls for a third time in December – possibly, although Hernando has since countered this, on Christmas Day. It will partly depend upon the stance King Felipe VI takes as head of State, since he may well call another round of one-to-one meetings with party leaders and then nominate another candidate. Each time Spain goes to the polls, it costs the nation €177 million – a sum it can ill afford with around 22% of its population unemployed.

Torrevieja’s symphony orchestra 2016-17 Torrevieja’s symphony orchestra (OST) are now presenting their programme for their 2016/2017 season. All the concerts will take place in the International Auditorium at 7pm. The programme will start on Tuesday 6th December so there is plenty of notice to put dates in your diary. The opening concert is called ‘Music for Strings and Percussion’ which will include works by Grieg, Sejourne, Elgar and Britten. Santiago Pizana, percussionist in the Euskado orchestra, will also participate. On the 6th and 7th of January there will be traditional concerts for the new year and the three kings celebrations. The next performance will be on the 18th March with works from Rossini, Mozart and Beethoven and will include the soloist, Jorge López, from Torrevieja. Jorge is renowned for his work as a solo flautist in la Orquesta Mundial. On the 22nd April there will be a double concert entitled ‘Romanticism’ including the violin and the violin cello and which will include works by Brahms and Schubert. There will be solo cellist performances by Laura Rodríguez and Ryo Mee-HAe. The concert season will close with ‘Great Russians’ on the 13thMay which will feature the compositions of Glinka, Tchaikovsky and Stravinsky. The director of the orchestra, José Francisco Sánchez, is proud of the work that has gone into putting together this line up. ‘I believe that we have achieved our objective of demonstrating that Torrevieja has a quality symphony orchestra.’ The director has also congratulated the quality of the programme that has been put forward and the soloists who will accompany it. In addition, the OST will be assistedby other local orchestras including that of Aguilas, Villajoyosa, Orihuela and the ADDA of Alicante. The councillor for culture, Alejandro Blanco, also

Tragic twitter hashtag A Twitter hashtag has been set up for a tragic father and daughter who died 24 hours apart. The grieving dad, from Madrid, killed himself in exactly the same spot where his daughter had died in a scooter accident. Carmen, 17, from the Puentelasierra urbanisation in Valdemorillo (Madrid) suffered serious injuries in a crash at kilometre 13 of the M-512 regional highway and went into cardiac arrest. Fortunately, paramedics were able to revive her and get her heart and breathing restarted. She was immediately airlifted to Madrid's 12 de Octubre Hospital and rushed into intensive care in a critical condition. She was placed upon life support, but died within minutes. Her father Pedro, who had given her the scooter, was so consumed by grief that he decided to end his life. He went to the accident site on the M-512 the very next day with a hunting rifle and shot himself in the head. Family members and friends of father and daughter have set up the Twitter hashtag, #TodosSomosCarmen29 – ('We are all Carmen') – where numerous messages of condolences and with memories of both have been posted.

Gareth Gates to star in Palace Variety Show Now in its Fourth year, The Palace Variety Show Charity Night, at Benidorm Palace is set to do it again with a bumper line-up for this year’s show. Previous Shows have included comedians Mick Miller and Jimmy Cricket as well as pop star and TV personalities Stacey Solomon, Chesney Hawkes, Rozalla and Ray Quinn. This year, Gareth Gates, Katrina from Katrina and the Waves top the bill along with The Grumbleweeds. The Palace Variety Show has raised thousands for Help 4 Heroes and Elche Children’s Home. In fact, last year’s show paid for the floodlighting system installed around the children’s home so the children can now go out after dark in the winter, play football and relax in the fresh air instead of being cooped up in the home all the time. Compered by our favourite funnyman Stevie Spit, the show boasts its own dance troupe, Compania De Flamenco JM. Local Singer Taylor Marcs joins a host of other talent including Richie Alexander. There is even a hilarious juggler that does impressions with ping pong balls. Young guitarist and vocalist Tom Lumley will entertain as people are arriving and established regulars Nikki Gale and Kylie Burgazzi will be appearing with special guest Stuart Sinclair on the

saxophone. Rumour has it that Vera Gillespie from The Gillespie Sisters is making a ‘surprise’ appearance (oops!). Now in her 83rd year Vera has travelled the world with hit records like “Waterford My Home” and even starred at the Albert Hall. What a night this promises to be! Tickets are 25 euros for standard seating and 50 euros for VIP which includes front row seats, food and entry to the after show party with a meet and greet with the stars. Tickets are available from The Benidorm Palace Box Office on 965 851 660. For more details on the show, which takes place this Sunday 18th September, see the full page ad on page 18 of this week’s Costa Blanca People.

Do you know Fatal train crash in northern Spain of a good cause? Many people are aware that HELP Vega Baja provides support to people in many ways. What they might not be aware of is that they also donate money to good causes. Last year, HELP Vega Baja donated over €22,000 including to several social services departments within the Vega Baja area who were supporting families struggling financially. HELP contributed to ensure that these families received fresh food over the Christmas period and in one area, thatall the children of identified families received a Christmas present. They would like to offer similar donations this year, where it is most needed. ‘If any of your readers are aware of a good cause that would benefit from our support,’ says President, Michele Masson, ‘we would be pleased to hear from them with details, including contact information. Once we have this information, our HELP committee will get in touch with the individual or organisation prior to making any decision.’ HELP Vega Baja has been raising money and helping people in the Vega Baja area for over 35 years and now has around 2,000 members.

These members pay an annual membership fee of just seven euros to receive a package of benefits. They also provide support to people in many other ways. ‘We aim to provide people with information,’ explains Michele. ‘We have trained volunteers in our offices in San Miguel, Torrevieja and La Marina.’ They also provide information over the internet through their website www.helpvegabaja.com and through their Facebook page. ‘We would be very pleased if people would visit and ‘like’ our Facebook page. This spreads the word about our charity and, of course, keeps everyone informed of our events, benefits and information of interest.’ It’s only through the tremendous amount of work that volunteers carry out in many areas of the charity throughout the year that the organisation can continue to be as effective as it is. They would very much like to hear from anyone who has a few hours to spare and would like to find out more about volunteering. If you think you can help out please call 966 723 733 for more information. Suzanne O’Connell

At least four people have been killed after a passenger train derailed in Pontevedra, Galicia. The train was Portuguese and was covering the Vigo-Porto route between Spain and Portugal. The accident happened close to the station when the first carriage came off the rails only 20 metres before the train was due to stop. Sixty-five passengers were on board and it was reported that forty-seven people had been injured, seven seriously and one in a critical condition. The train driver, a Portuguese national and the Spanish conductor are amongst the dead. According to a representative from Renfe,

those who were injured, abandoned the train on foot and walked along the tracks. Some passengers reported that the train seemed to be travelling fast and that the brakes were suddenly applied leading to luggage falling out of the overhead compartments. Those travelling on the train came from many different countries and included North American tourists, travellers from Brazil, Chile and Uruguay. An English man, a German and two Argentineans were also amongst the passengers. People living locally came out to help the injured and were soon joined by 11 ambulances and two helicopters. Three of the dead had to be freed from the wreckage.

the train left Vigo station at 9.02am on its way to Oporto and derailed at 9.25am. The train hit the bridge, which spans the N-120,after coming out of the bend and then went on to hit a steel tower. Three coaches were affected, two seriously and one slightly. The majority of the passengers ,including

An investigation has now been launched into the accident. The train was an old one, manufactured in the 80s, but had passed a detailed inspection in May and a routine one on Thursday in Portugal. Three days of morning has been announced in the town. Suzanne O’Connell

A busy summer season The number of tourists might be dropping now but Councillor Serrano is very aware of just how busy Torrevieja has been during the summer. ‘The Tourist Information Centre has been particularly busy,’ she says. ‘They answered around 15,000 queries during July and August. Many of these people will have been new to Torrevieja. It’s not usually those returning who use this facility.’ Sixty-six per cent of those visiting the tourist office were international tourists and the rest were Spanish nationals. Most of the queries related to cultural activities, leisure, transport, beaches and the Costa Blanca. What was particularly noticeable was the increase in the number of visitors from France. The Tourist Information Office saw an increase of 28% in the number of French nationals. This was even more than the number of British visitors. The increased use of water and collection of rubbish over the summer season also indicates a very good tourist season in the town. It is currently calculated that there was an 85% occupancy rate in August and that on the 15th August this rose to 100%. Three and four star hotels boasted an occupancy rate of 80% in the middle of August and lower category hotels and aparthotels 85%. The figure for tourist apartments is even higher at 92%. Consumption of water during August was up 3.69% on the previous year, whereas the consumption in July was the same as in 2015. As the weather cools and numbers dwindle, Councillor Serrano and her team are hoping that such figures might not just be a two month wonder. Suzanne O’Connell

WEEKLY EURO UPDATE The three weakest currencies of the week were, in order, the US dollar, the British pound and the euro. The dollar got off to a bad start last Friday when the US employment report showed fewer than expected new jobs were created in August. In contrast to its UK counterpart’s upbeat tone on Monday, which lent further support to the pound, the Institute for Supply Management's purchasing managers' index for the US services sector was far from supportive towards the dollar on Tuesday; a sharp decline to 51.4 for August from 55.5 the previous month – the lowest reading since February 2010 – undermined confidence in the overall US economic outlook and in doing so reduced expectation of higher-rates in 2016. Investors were spooked from the dollar, which dipped lower against both the pound and euro. Sterling, having benefitted from unexpectedly good purchasing managers' index readings, dropped the baton after the Bank of England governor addressed parliament's Treasury Committee. The powerhouse UK service industry, which makes up almost 80% of the UK economy, rebounded to expansionary territory last month. The purchasing managers index (PMI) for the sector jumped to 52.9 from July’s Brexit fuelled seven-year low of 47.4 – the biggest onemonth gain in the survey’s 20-year history. The upbeat tone of the report by market research group Markit echoed the encouraging numbers released last week for the manufacturing and construction sectors in August. So, with optimism over the health of the British economy restored – in the

short-term at least – the pound soared to a seven-week high against the US dollar and extended its euro gains from Friday. Bank of England governor Mark Carney shrugged off the naysayers – aka Brexit supporters – criticism of the central banks cautionary tone around the potential economic impact of the ‘Leave’ vote, and its subsequent measures to mitigate the ramifications. When questioned by MPs on the Treasury Select Committee at Wednesday’s inflation report hearing, Mr. Carney described himself as "absolutely serene about the judgments made by both the MPC and FPC" around the time of the referendum; adding that last month's rate cut to an historic low of 0.25% helped support house prices and the wider economy. Investors did not share the governor's serenity about the situation and sent sterling lower after Mr. Carney and his colleague Jon Cunliffe left open the door to a further rate cut, with Sir Jon saying he would expect to vote for one this year if the economy were to play out according to the bank's forecasts. They had already been put into a selling mood during the morning when, although UK industrial production rose by 0.1% in July, the figures for manufacturing production showed a 0.9% fall. The euro received a late boost from the European Central Bank, which failed to announce fresh stimulus measures after Thursday's Governing Council meeting. The ECB turned out to be less eager than investors had thought for rate cuts and asset purchases. Over the seven days the euro added three quarters of a US cent and strengthened by half a cent against sterling.

Spain recoups very little of bank restructuring cost The cost to Spanish taxpayers of restructuring the country’s banking sector since 2009 has been €51.3 billion, of which just 5 percent, or €2.7 billion, has been recovered so far. That’s according to a report released recently by the Bank of Spain. The total figure includes the €40 billion lent to the country in June 2012 by the European Central Bank in order to stave off a disaster in the sector, which was struggling at the time due to the global financial crisis and the meltdown of the country’s construction and real estate markets. “Since 2009, the state has, through the FROB, provided public funds amounting to €53.553 billion as financial assistance for the restructuring of the Spanish banking system in various forms of capital,” says the Bank of Spain’s report. “When the €2,250 million provided by the FGDEC [Deposit Guarantee Funds, provided by Spain’s banks] are taken into account, this figure falls to €51.303 billion, of which €2.686 billion have been recouped to date.” The central bank highlights that the bill for the bank bailout refers only to the cost to the state – in other words, that the losses suffered by investors and individuals are not included. The report organises state aid for Spain’s banking system into five categories. The first covers financial aid disbursed to recapitalise banks. This includes the €51.3 billion, of which €2.7 billion has been recovered. The second section covers the amounts provided by the Credit Institutions Deposit Guarantee Fund (FGDEC). The FGDEC set in place a procedure for providing liquidity, namely by purchasing unlisted shares from retail investors in banks controlled by the Orderly Bank Restructuring Fund (FROB). The funds committed

by the FGDEC in this connection totaled €1.803 billion. The FGDEC has sold all these shares, receiving €673 million for them. The third category refers to the guarantees granted by the state to credit institutions and to the guarantees granted to the purchaser, in the sales of institutions, and that are essentially asset protection schemes. “As of 31st December, 2015, the present value of the aggregate loss currently expected from asset protection schemes amounted to €10.390 billion, provisioning for which is in the financial statements of the FGDEC and the FROB. Of this amount, €918 million corresponds to the FROB. No loss from these guarantees will foreseeably arise for the state,” says the Bank of Spain. The fourth category comprises the extraordinary credit lines granted to banks in some of the restructuring processes from 2009 to 2013. This credit was granted as an urgent, temporary provision of liquidity either by the Bank of Spain (€9.800 billion), through the emergency liquidity assistance mechanism, backed by a state guarantee or by assets of the recipient bank itself, or by the FROB (€6.500 billion) “All the amounts drawn down on these credit facilities have been repaid and the lines have been cancelled following the recapitalization or, where appropriate, the sale of the beneficiary institutions,” says the report. Finally, in the fifth category, is the contribution of public funds from the FROB to Sareb, the socalled “bad bank” set up in 2012, which amounted to €2,192 million, and of the public guarantees granted by the State on debt issued by Sareb for an amount of €43.476 million.

With summer in full swing, many gardeners will be worried about the health and well-being of their prized plants as they start to wither in the heat. Droughts can seldom be avoided and is usually handled with an irrigation system, but water is not cheap.

H

owever, there are a few strategies gardeners can use to take some of the stress off their lawns and gardens while saving water. If you are just starting a garden and live in an area known to have frequent droughts, the first thing you can do is select plants that are drought tolerant. Many of these plants will be native to arid regions or dry upland areas. Natives to your own area are always a good choice as they have adapted to the specific conditions of the local environment. Admittedly, even native trees, evergreens, and meadow flowers can have trouble enduring unusually dry weather, but they often fare better than the pampered shrubs and lawns in urban gardens. When looking for drought resistance, start with plants that have these characteristics: Small, waxy leaves. Gray, fuzzy, or succulent foliage. Aromatic scents. These plants produce oils that help keep them from drying out. Keep in mind that new plantings, no matter how tolerant they will eventually become, will need regular watering until they adjust to their new environment. The first year is the most important for new plants, and they should be watered deeply once a week during the growing season. This will encourage deep root growth and help them become established to their new home. Be mindful of this need when determining when and what to plant. Deep watering is also very beneficial to established plants. Deep roots help plants weather periods of drought

better because they can reach water that is deeper below the surface. Frequent, shallow watering encourages roots to grow near the surface where there is less water. To encourage deep rooting, water your plants only once a week, but water deeply. One inch of water will moisten the ground to a depth of about four to six inches, maybe a little more in sand. To determine how much water you are using, place a shallow container under your sprinkler/dripper and wait until it has collected an inch of water. Adding plenty of organic matter to the soil of your beds when you plant and putting down fresh mulch every year will also help your plants survive periods of drought with less watering. The highest user of water in your landscape will definitely be the lawn. During drought, you should water your lawn only enough to keep it alive, not necessarily green. The most important thing to remember is to avoid mowing your lawn during periods of drought: When the tops of the plants are removed, the roots die back in proportion. Keeping a neat, short lawn may seem handsome, but the shallow root system generated by short mowing will likely not endure many droughts. If a lawn is facing severe dry periods, it should be allowed to grow as tall as possible in summer. Finally, when rains do come, it’s worth taking time to keep the water where plants can use it. Many gardens can be terraced or designed to trap water on the property instead of letting it run away. Well thought-out designs, good culture, and appropriate plant selections can make it possible to enjoy a lush garden with minimal irrigation.

Welcome to OTTAWA with Vivalia Travel Ottawa is the capital of Canada. The city is situated along the Ontario side of the Ottawa River, opposite Gatineau, Quebec. The metropolitan population of Ottawa is 1.1 million and is currently the fourth largest city in Canada, and the second largest in Ontario after Toronto.

Unique as a North American capital, the city is bilingual. English is the first language of a majority of the population, but French is the first language of a significant number. Staff in most stores and restaurants speak both well and, in general, bilingualism is common. Ottawa is home to many of the world’s cultures as thousands of immigrants from around the world now call Ottawa home. The city is probably best known as the nation’s capital but has become one of the fastest growing cities in North America owing to the booming high-tech business sector.

Conversation classes start again It’s the start of the new school year but it’s not only children who are starting their lessons again. English conversation classes are due to start again at the CIAJ building in Torrevieja. Crystal East, co-ordinator of the classes, is pleased to announce the continuation of the highly popular classes supported by Englishspeaking volunteers. The classes aim to help those wanting to learn English to practise and develop their skills in a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere with native English speakers. The morning classes for this academic year will start again on Tuesday 13th September and will run according to last year’s timetable: Tuesday and Thursday 10am – 12pm. The afternoon classes will begin again during the week beginning 19th September and are on Wednesday and Friday 5pm6pm. Crystal welcomes previous students and volunteers once more but is also hoped that some new volunteers might be prepared to contact her and find out more about how they can become involved. You don’t need to be an English teacher and it doesn’t matter if you have a regional accent. In fact, Crystal is keen to emphasise that it is important for English language learners to encounter different accents to broaden their understanding. It’s not only the students who benefit from the lessons. Volunteers consider it to be a very rewarding experience and an opportunity to find out more about their Spanish hosts and give something back to the local community. Many of the students are hoping to sit exams in English or need to improve their English for work reasons. These classes are free for them and so provide much needed practice for those who cannot afford to pay for private lessons and/or wish to increase their contact with native speakers. Many previous students have benefitted from the classes and have been able to find a job or progress in their chosen occupations. For example, Patricia, who the CBP spoke to last year, has now secured a position teaching English at the Laguna School in

SERVIGROUP MARINA PLAYA 4*

Torrevieja. Others have found jobs in local businesses and hotels with some students being able to find employment in Britain. If you are new to Spain it can also be an excellent way of finding out more about your host country and meeting other people who have settled here. If you are a little nervous to begin with, Crystal will not drop you in at the deep end, but you can be paired with a more experienced volunteer until you feel more confident. You do not need to plan for the lessons or follow a structured curriculum. The idea is that you talk together with students who already have a moderate level of English and need to improve their fluency and understanding further. If you think you might be interested then you should contact Crystal East by email at crystaleast 16@yahoo.co.uk. Alternatively you can drop in to the CIAJ building on Paseo Juan Aparicio.

Jumilla wines are among best in the World More than 13 million users of the Vivino app have cast their votes on which they think are the top 50 best wines in the world across a variety of categories. More than 17 million ratings were left on more than two million different wines from all over the world. Spanish wines fared best in the “Best Wines for Under 50$” and “Best Wines for Under 25$” categories. In second place in the “Best Wines for Under 50$” category is the Viña Sastre’s Pago de Santa Cruz Ribera del Duero 2010 red wine, which fell just behind Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars Cask 23 Cabernet Sauvignon 2012 from the United States. Other Spanish wines that appear within the top 20 in this category are: • Rioja El Puntido 2011 (Viñedos de Páganos) at number 7 • ‘Clio’ Jumilla 2011 (Bodegas El Nido) at number 10 • ‘Clio’ Jumilla 2012 (Bodegas El Nido) at number 11 • Rioja 2011 (Señorío de San Vicente) at number 12 • Ribera del Duero Reserva 2011 (Carmelo Rodero) at In the top 50 wines for under 25$ category, a Spanish wine topped the ranking and made the number one position. This red wine is produced by Bodegas Aragonesas and is called Garnacha Fagus de Coto de Hayas 2012. The batch from the previous year, 2011, is ranked at number 16. In third position, also from Spain, is Vino de la Tierra de Cádiz Taberner 2010, another red wine from Andalucía. Three Spanish wines have made it into the top 20 best red wines, which is mainly populated by those from Italy and France.

BUSINESS PROFILE An historic referendum On Thursday June 23, the people of Britain voted for a British exit, or Brexit, from the European Union in an historic referendum. This decision has prompted jubilant celebration whilst sending shockwaves through the global economy. Over the next two years or so, Britain will negotiate its exit under article 50 of the Treaty on European Union. What happens after Britain exits the EU Through the withdrawal negotiations, nothing will change for British expats in Spain because the UK will remain part of the EU during this transitional period. However, what happens after Britain has left the EU and how this may affect you is still unclear. Legal assistance service Whilst many questions remain unanswered, Línea Directa would like to remind its customers that they can include our Legal Assistance service in their insurance policies. Then, if you have any queries you can call and consult one of our lawyers. They offer information and legal advice on a wide range of matters such as inheritance, family, taxes, purchase and rental of property, etc. As the Brexit negotiations evolve,

our legal team will keep abreast of all the latest developments relating to events occurring in the Spanish territory and those to which Spanish legislation is applicable. 24-Hour assistance for emergency legal consultations Should you require an immediate legal consultation, which due to the gravity of the matter in hand cannot wait, we offer a 24-hour legal advice service. Regardless of the time of day, we can provide immediate specialist legal advice for emergency incidents relating to you, your family or your home. In English The service is entirely in English.

Funds raised in aid of Huntington’s Disease Association A magnificent 227 euros has been raised by Cafe Almoradi in the centre of Almoradi for the not so well-known charity for sufferers with Huntington’s Disease. Local residents enjoyed a fun quiz devised by Martin and Christine Watkins - whose brother-in-law David suffers from this horrible disease. David and his friend Peter, also a sufferer, both attended the event. The winning team of 6, called Gicoholics, won a bottle of wine each to take home but decided that it was for such a good cause, that they donated them all back for the next event. “We have had such a wonderful evening” said Jill, one of their team. “That we wanted to give something back. We will definitely be at the next one and see if we can’t win them back again.” Bar owner, Maria Silverthorne and her partner Chas, who provided tapas for the quizzers, during the interval, in addition to donating vouchers for a Meal for Two at one of their Bistro Nights and Sunday Lunch for Two, were delighted with this sold out event. “We are more than happy to help raise awareness of Huntington’s Disease, as we know David well but can only imagine half of what he and his friend Peter

have to go through with this awful disease. “Chas and I, are very much looking forward to hosting future events.” Huntington's Disease is an hereditary, terminal, illness affecting both men and women, which destroys the pathways between the brain and the rest of the body, resulting in uncontrollable movements, loss of speech, incontinence and loss of memory function, to name but a few symptoms. It also causes changes in personality and depression. Huntington's Disease destroys everything that makes us recognisable as human beings and there is currently no cure. Any child of an affected parent has a 50 per cent risk of inheriting the affected gene. Anyone inheriting the affected gene will develop Huntington’s Disease. It has already claimed the life of David’s father, Vic and is now affecting him and his younger brother Gary. Peter’s brother has already died from the illness and Peter's son has recently been tested positive, at the age of just 30. If you would like to get involved with organising a fundraising event for Huntington’s Disease in your area, please contact Marion Smith on 651 043 681.

Spanish olive oil lights up Times Square A campaign to promote Spanish olive oil is underway in one of the most emblematic spots in the world. Times Square in New York City will help raise awareness about a product that is increasingly being consumed across the United States, but which consumers know little about. Besides boosting demand, the campaign seeks to change deep-rooted perceptions that olive oil is only either Italian or Greek. The campaign is the brainchild of Interprofesional del Aceite de Oliva Español, an umbrella group of eight industry associations, and Havas Media Group. Teresa Pérez, who is in charge of the advertising strategy, says that the US is “a great amplifier” that will help reach other world markets, and that Times Square is a privileged location to sell their product. The ads are running for 15 to 30 seconds on four of the large screens that light up the square, coinciding with the US Open tennis tournament. One of the ads shows up on the Nasdaq screen, another one covers Reuters headquarters and two

more look out over the northern end of the square. Figures show that Spanish-produced olive oil is already selling very well in the US, says Susana Ketterer at the trade office in New York. In the first half of the year, the US imported 69,600 tons of Spanish olive oil, representing over 40 percent of the total. “The hard part is changing the image,” she says. “Many consumers do not know that Spain makes oil. That is why we want to show them where it is born.” Ketterer says this is the first step in a larger effort to educate the public by building a global brand for Spanish olive oil. This will enable the product to be better positioned in stores. Producers are also trying to reach a younger consumer who is concerned by product quality and pays attention to the history behind each food product. “If there is a demand, you get better placement at the supermarket,” notes Alejandro Saracho, of Havas Media Group. “That is why we have to show them that Spanish olive oil is the best oil there is.”

tv PICK Paul O’Grady: For The Love of Dogs (Documentary, 2012) Thursday, September 15th, 2016 on ITV London Plus 1 from 10:30pm to 11:00pm Paul O’Grady returns to Battersea Dogs and Cats Home to meet more canine residents in need of a new home in this award-winning programme. Paul falls for charming toothless boxer Prince, leaving him to seriously consider rehoming Prince himself. But he is soon rocked by the news that Prince has a suspicious lump on his leg, which requires urgent attention. He also meets quirky Yorkshire terrier Dash, whose bark has lost its bite - leaving him with a very unusual, squeaky voice.

Joanna Lumley’s Japan ITV – 10.00pm

Friday, September 16th, 2016 on itv London from 10:00pm to 11:00pm Second of three programmes in which Joanna Lumley explores the country and culture of Japan. Joanna starts her journey this time round by flying over the city of Tokyo in a helicopter. The city was bombed extensively during the Second World War, so almost all of Tokyo has been rebuilt over the last 70 years - a symbol of Japan's post-war economic boom that saw it become the world's second largest economy. Later, Joanna meets fashion designer and internationally-known artist Minori, who wears Shinori make up, meaning her face is white and reminiscent of the traditional geisha look. Joanna leaves the bustling city and travels to the Kiso Valley to walk the Nakasendo Way, an ancient route that once linked Tokyo to Kyoto. Arriving in Kyoto at the peak of the city's cherry blossom season, Joanna takes a tour of the city's favourite places to see the blossoms - known as Hanami spots - by taxi.

Celebrity Island with Bear Grylls (Reality Show) Sunday, September 18th, 2016 on Channel 4 from 10:00pm to 11:00pm

As part of this year’s Stand Up To Cancer campaign, Bear Grylls abandons 10 celebrities on an uninhabited island in the Pacific. Alone and marooned in just their clothes and with a handful of basic tools, they must survive entirely on their own wits. After swimming ashore, Made in Chelsea star Ollie Locke attempts to lead the group through the jungle to find a safe place to sleep. But with nightfall approaching, panic sets in. The celebrities vote comedian Dom Joly into the role of ‘El Presidente’. In a grave rookie error, a search party containing pop star Aston Merrygold and former Labour councillor Karen Danczuk run out of water rations and are forced to send out an SOS. Ollie Locke and Lydia Bright, from TOWIE, are also dispatched to find water. Following three days without food, Dr Dawn Harper from Embarrassing Bodies is seriously worried about the group's wellbeing. For one celebrity, the experience is too much to bear.

USING HEIGHTENED SENSES AS A CLAIRVOYANT MEDIUM

Joyce wrote to me this week to ask what I see or feel when I am connecting with the spirit world.

Dear Alison I read your articles with interest and particularly loved the one about The Rainbow Bridge. I am intrigued with what you see when you link with loved ones in spirit. How do you see them and do they talk to you, do you hear them, too? Sorry for so many questions but I have been thinking about this a lot lately so I hope you don't mind me asking. Carry on with the good work! Joyce L Spencer Dear Joyce What a great question! First of all, I don't mind you asking at all. However, I did have to think carefully about how to answer this question because most of the time I don't 'think' when doing readings as the information is given to me by spirit. As I have been doing this for a long time now, it seems so natural to me and I use all of my senses so as well as seeing (with my third eye), I feel, sense, hear and smell sometimes, too! I will then pass on whatever it is I am being given for my client. Spirit can also

put physical conditions on me. For example, if the loved one in spirit had arthritis, I get pains in my hands. If they had a heart attack I feel pains down my left arm and over my heart centre. These are just a couple of examples as there is so much more that I do and how I receive the messages. I have written a short outline of how I work below and I hope it goes some way of explaining how I link with the spirit world whether I am doing 1 to 1 reading, giving messages to an audience, or spirit rescue work. Thank you for writing to me, and I wish you well. Kind regards, Alison

When I have clients booked in for readings, I talk to my Spirit Helpers prior to my client arriving, asking them to give me messages of comfort from loved ones in the spirit world. The information that comes through can be from the past, present or what is to come in, in the future. I will write a few premonitions that I have been given before the client arrives for their appointment. This is always a great conversation opener especially for new clients. Their face is often a picture as I can see them thinking 'How on earth could she know

that'? Of course, I don't - the fact of the matter is, spirit has shared that information with me, and I pass it on in the way it has been given. When a loved one from spirit steps forward, I pass on what it is I see which can be what they are wearing, how tall they are, if they are alone or with someone else, or even if they have a pet with them. Very often, and because spirit don't have a voice box, I will see them putting things into action or pointing to something. One lady pointed to her slippers which were very unusual. When I passed this on to her daughter, she said she had bought them for her before she died and she was very proud of them, showing them off to everyone. A gentleman pointed to a beautiful lake in one reading, and showed him and my client sitting side by side in comfortable silence. This was a memory of his, and somewhere that they loved going to as a family when he was alive. I will also 'hear' noises or whispering, and I pass on what it is I am receiving. Because psychic ability is in the main about what you feel, I will sense and feel how the person passed over, or the pure love they have for my client. I will also feel emotions from the person having the reading too, because I connect with those on the earth plane as well as those in spirit. I

can also smell things within a reading such as a beautiful perfume, a cigar, or sometimes nasty things, too. An example was during a Spirit Rescue, and I could smell human excrement that really made me gag. I then felt as if I was being beaten up, and heard loud bangs and shots. It turned out that the spirit was reliving the horrendous time he spent in the trenches in the 1st world war. I felt every single emotion from his fear, seeing his comrades killed all around him, and I also felt his bravery too. This

young man died there, out on the front line, fighting for his Country. I love it when I pass on information that is so unusual, or something that my client has never told a soul before, and yet spirit knows. They share the message with me, and when I pass it on, my client knows without a doubt who I have been talking to, and that the message could have only come from them. I see myself as a channel between our world, and the afterlife and I feel totally blessed to be chosen to work with the spirit world.

Lizards in luggage Dutch police have arrested three Spaniards on charges of illegally transporting animals after more than 260 reptiles – including lizards, chameleons, snakes and tortoises, many of them protected species – were found in their luggage after they arrived from Mexico at Amsterdam Airport. “Of the 259 animals that were found, 10 were already dead,” said a statement released by the Dutch customs authorities. The Netherlands NVWA Food Safety Authority said the animals were worth an estimated €88,000. Among the

reptiles were 14 Chuckwalla lizards from Mexico’s San Esteban island, which are similar in appearance to chameleons and are protected by the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES).

Guardamar tourism

Summer of solidarity In August the Department of Culture for the City of Guardamar launched two initiatives that have taken place with great appreciation and support from the local community – film shows and theatre performances aimed at solidarity - which have reached thousands of people and benefitted many who need help. The solidarity cinema is an initiative of the University of Alicante in collaboration with the City of Guardamar and the Red

Cross. Recent films have been screened within the genre of animation, action adventure, with very good reception from the audience. Although entrance to the screening was free, the public were asked to provide food and hygiene products that were collected by Red Cross volunteers. Through this initiative the Red Cross has been able to assist more than 130 families in Guardamar and has distributed about 420 kg of food and more than 100 hygiene

Female singers wanted Ladies, if you love to sing, even if just in the shower, then this could be your chance to shine. A newly formed ladies harmony group, which sings in the Barbershop style is looking for females singers young and young at heart to join its ranks. Members love to sing and work hard to learn and develop new skills while blending beautiful chords and ringing out those overtones – and more importantly they are friendly and welcoming.The human voice is the most amazing instrument and, when the different voice parts are blended, can make the most incredible music, which is what this group loves doing. Go along and have a listen, bring a friend to bolster your confidence or indeed, be really brave and come along by yourself, they would love to see you. The group is called Pilarmonics and it rehearses every Wednesday evening from 6:45pm to 9:15pm at the Pilar de la Horadada Christian Community Church which is directly opposite the cinema.

As a newly formed group, the Pilarmonics need sponsorship. If your are interested in sponsoring a growing Competition Chorus - Members of the National Spanish Association of Barbershop Singers - and can help the group to buy ongoing costly essentials such as sheet music, teach tracks and regular coaching from experts, the Pilarmonics would love to hear from you. The biggest need at present however, is for ‘risers’ - graduated steps to sing from - as these are how the group presents its songs to audiences. Unfortunately, risers are very expensive. However, the group is in desperate need, even two would be beneficial to how it creates a stack and presents itself and would promote a more unified sound. So, ladies and sponsors, the Pilarmonics would love to hear from you. Those interested can visit the Pilarmonics Facebook page, there is a private message icon on there or you can email:phil.pilarmomics@gmail.com or dawn.enarmoniapilar@gmail.com

and toiletry items. In addition, The School of Music hosted, between 16th and 30th August an Amateur Theatre Show starring theatre groups from across the municipality as well as amateur dramatic groups from neighbouring towns. A total of six performances were staged and a total of five works from different genres from comedy to suspense through to drama. All performances were given to

a full house, with audiences packing the room. All of the productions were given with a high standard of professionalism and dedication by the actors and the quality of the performances delighted the audience. The Town Hall would like to thank everyone who took part in the initiative, offering their presence and selfless work. This union of leisure, culture and solidarity has been a huge success thanks to them.

Gone but not Forgotten: Memories of the Stars Campoverde Theatre Group has been busy rehearsing for their next production throughout the hot summer months and we are pleased to announce that we will be performing our next supper show on the 13th, 14th, 15th and 16th October at Phoenix Nights, San Miguel de Salinas. Over the last year or so, so many well known stars and personalities have died that Campoverde Theatre Group felt that it would like to commemorate some of these truly well loved artists. Consequently our forthcoming production will celebrate in song, dance and sketches some of the best known work of some of these famous people. Personalities such as Cilla Black, Victoria Wood, Val Doonican are a few of great stars that the show will be remembering, which is themed ‘Gone but not Forgotten; Memories of the Stars’.

www.costablancapeople.com

This show promises to be a great evening of entertainment and will demonstrate a very affectionate look at stars who will continue to live in our memories. Tickets cost only 10€, the price including a one course meal and a drink. Tickets are available from the Ticket Line: ctgticketline@gmail.com or telephone: 626 772 256. Tickets can also be purchased directly from The Book Shop, San Miguel or why not drop into the Community Centre, Blue Lagoon (Monday and Wednesday between 2pm and 4 pm).

Guardamar has reached 93 percent hotel occupancy during the month of August. According to data provided by employers tourist accommodation. The Marjal Camping reported 93 percent whilst the holiday apartments at Europa House have registered 90 percent. Last year, in August 2015, the occupation was 92 percent, so the previous year’s figure has been exceeded, as was the target. This data is consistent with the forecasts of the hotel sector for Spain in general and the Costa Blanca in particular. The country and the coastal regions have all reported an excellent summer for tourism. The breakdown of visitors, according to statistics from enquiries at the Tourist Office, has been: Madrid (39 percent), France (15 percent), UK (10 percent), Castilla-La Mancha (5 percent), Valencia (4 percent), Basque Country (4 percent), Germany (3 percent), Castilla León (3 percent), Norway (2 percent), Catalonia (2 percent) and the rest (13 percent)

THE PRICE IS RIGHT!

Rebecca Serwotka –Your favourite local property expert, of Inmobiliaria Real Estate Agents in Ciudad Quesada. nyone in this industry will have heard time and time again that the seller wants too much for their home, but it’s our job to help point the serious vendor in the right direction, and by pricing the property correctly the first time, will bring results. All buyers know what the current market is like; it’s easy to do the research. However I have heard a few comments that make me smile, like “I’ve based my marketing price on what I feel is right.” I could easily see this comment was made from the home owners’ heart, after many years of memories made in the house and the many days, weeks, months and years its taken to grow that beloved Jacaranda tree! “No-one else could possibly know the true worth of my home,” said this hopeful homeowner. Reality is, you need to put those memories aside and treat this as a business deal. When buying anything, you yourself know what prices are in general and

A

wouldn’t pay more than the going rate. This is the same when people are shopping for homes. They educate themselves on the “going rate” and are not prepared to pay over the odds. The property’s listing price should be based on hard facts, like location, square meterage, and what else is on the market around you that is comparable to your home. You can’t let emotion cloud reality. Call in a professional Real Estate Agent for guidance; it won’t cost you anything for advice. “Selling a home is all about making a profit right?” Not always! Pricing your home based on what you paid, plus a little extra for profit sounds good, but isn’t usually going to happen in today’s market. Prices proved to have gone up slightly, but that doesn’t mean everyone that sells, will make a profit. Again, what you want to achieve and what the market gets you can be two different things. You need to be sensible, and remember reality is what a buyer is

prepared to pay, based on what’s currently selling around you. “I’m not in a hurry to sell, so we’ll price it higher than the others.” That’s wonderful you have time on your side, but if the property is priced too high, what will happen is,it becomes stale on the market and buyers will get used to seeing it for sale, and come in with an even lower offer than what you would have received if it had been priced right at the beginning. In the end you’ll probably have to reduce your asking price by a greater amount, thus making you look desperate as a seller. Staying current, and being realistic doesn’t mean you’ll have to “give your home away,” it just shows a buyer how up-to-date you are about understanding your local property market! Think property? Think us, because life’s complicated enough! See our advert in the centre pages of this newspaper. www.homes4u.es

Business Profile

Quirónsalud offers free tests for early detection of prostate cancer The test is aimed for men over 40 years of age or from 40 years of age if there is family history. Quirónsalud Hospital Torrevieja, has launched a free campaign for the early detection of prostate cancer to mark World Cancer Awareness Day on 15th September. This initiative consists of a free PSA analysis followed by a for appointment an consultation with urology. Available to men living in the Vega Baja area of Alicante (of any nationality) from 45 years of age, if there is a family history, from 40 years of age. The period that these tests can be carried out is from the 12th to 16th September if you are interested you can obtain further information by telephone: 966 92 email by or 61, 57 prevencion.trv@quironsalud.es or through the webpage http://www.quironsalud.es/torrev ieja/es . A prior appointment is required. For the test, it is not necessary to arrive on an empty stomach and the tests will be held in Torrevieja Quirónsalud Hospital in centres medical and Quirónsalud Orihuela and Santa

Pola. The aim of the campaign is to raise awareness about the importance of prevention and early detection for a good prognosis of this disease. Dr. Sven Petry, head of the Urology Unit Quirónsalud Torrevieja explained that the intention is to “inform and raise public awareness about prostate cancer as then there is a low risk of suffering with it.The aim is to inform citizens of the effective prevention for prostate cancer in men aged 45 years and over. A common barrier to prevention of this disease is the lack of information; therefore, we want to familiarize society that with a simple blood test prostate cancer cure is possible if detected in time. 90% of these cases can be cured.” Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer among men in the world and the first in Europe. Each year about 25,000 new cases are detected in Spain, of which between 20% to 30% of patients diagnosed have relapsed in the disease because they have become resistant to hormonal treatments. However, when

detected early, 90% of these tumours can be cured, said Dr. Petry. The PSA test PSA is a molecule known to be a marker for prostate cancer. When a tumour appears in the prostate PSA production is uncontrolled and increases its concentration in blood. It is considered a risk when PSA if greater than 10 ng / mL. When the PSA is between 4 and 10 ng / mL studies are recommended to investigate why it is high, without suspecting prostate cancer. The PSA test is also used to detect other prostate diseases such as benign prostatic hyperplasia or prostate infection (prostatitis). The PSA analysis test is easy to perform and non-invasive, it is a simple blood analysis. The results should be interpreted with caution. To receive a negative test result "indicates that it is highly unlikely that a person has prostate cancer, although the reliability is not 100%. Therefore, it is recommended to repeat the test every two years and consult a doctor if you feel any discomfort, "says the specialist.

s we live in a country that grows copious amounts of lemons, this week we are going to have a look at some of the health benefits of this amazing fruit. Before writing this article I actually did quite a lot of research into the history of the humble lemon and I was amazed at what I found. The lemon even helped, in May 1953 when Sir Edmund Hilary made international history by reaching the peak of the worlds highest mountain. The team had a very strict diet which included drinking copious amounts of hot water with lemon to combat the acute effects of dehydration at high altitude. Many of us will remember our grandmothers using lemon almost daily. It may have been a pudding ingredient, helped stop a cough, cleaned the bath taps . made a

facemask to tighten the pores etc So how can I summarise some of the benefits of lemons... Lemons fight viruses, bacteria and parasites Lemons boost our digestion, circulation, metabolism and immune response Lemons reduce pain associated with arthritis, sunburn, insect bites, and inflammation. Lemons are one of nature’s most powerful natural substances, they are readily available, cheap to buy easy to store and diverse. So when you go to the market this week buy some lemons and use them every day. I like to add them to a carafe of sparkling water as a refreshing drink in summer and nothing beats lemon and ginger tea in winter. So don’t be a lemon use your lemon!

Summer nights in Torrevieja It might be the beginning of September but Torrevieja town centre is still heaving in the evening with visitors, holiday makers and a few residents thrown in. It’s a credit to the town that it continues to provide such a vibrant and enjoyable venue demonstrating the best of Spanish hospitality and weather. The sea front paseos have also been enhanced this year by street entertainers and the contemporary dance festival ‘Cuerpo Romo’. The dance company Elias Aguirre are a rather unusual group of dancers and they attracted quite a crowd of onlookers with their unusual style. Performing on the ground, six dancers moved around their impromptu stage, demonstrating through dance a story of relationships and emotions. Although perhaps a little baffling initially, the performance had a mesmeric quality and was appreciated by the audience. As well as performing themselves, the group also engaged the public in a variety of workshops and improvisations. With the summer season now coming to a close Torrevieja can be proud of how it has hosted such a large number of tourists and provided not only the sea and sand but some unusual entertainment for free.

Bill via email asks: Hello Aunty. For the last 2 weeks when I switch on my Toshiba laptop I get a message pop up on the screen saying that my “license will expire 15 days and to contact my system admin to get a product key” In the help section it says that the key should be on the box that it came in, or by email when I bought Windows, but I don’t recall ever having either of these.

computers have all this activation process built into the computers circuitry. Maybe pop back into the shop and ask them for an opinion. Debbie via email asks: Hi Aunty, hope you can you help me with my question. I have a laptop with Windows 7 that is about 3 years old and I was told that I can upgrade it to Windows 10 for free? I was also told by my “computer expert” ex husband that I can now only upgrade to Windows 8 for free and I need to pay for Windows 10. Aunty Says: Hi Debbie. I’m afraid you’ve missed the free upgrade offer that ended at the end of July 2016 and there was never a free upgrade from Win7 to Win8. If you have a functioning Win7

then you may as well stick with it until 2020 by which time your laptop will probably need replacing and there will be yet another version of Windows to contend with. Paul via email asks: Hello Aunty, When I start my Windows 7 laptop it runs a program called Check Disk which looks for errors on G: drive. It never reports any faults and Windows starts normally and runs OK. Can I stop the Check Disk process from doing this everytime as it can take a while before I can use my laptop? Aunty Says: Hello Paul. I suspect you may have an external hard disk, USB memory stick or camera SD memory card plugged into your laptop and this is what Windows is scanning. After Windows starts, click on the “Start” icon and then “Computer” and you should see all of your drives listed, including your hard disk and DVD drive and from here you should be able to spot what device G: drive is. C: drive will be your main hard disk drive and D: or E: is normally your DVD drive. Jim via email asks: Dear Aunty, I part exchanged my old XP tower for a second hand Windows 7 laptop which has been great for downloading films which is really all I wanted it for. The only problem that I am having is that the hard disk is only 120GB and I am finding I am filling it up very quickly. Is there any way I can upgrade the hard drive. Aunty Says: You can Jim but there will be an awful lot of work transferring and reinstalling Windows plus all your apps so you may find using a USB external hard disk easier and there is no need to have a specialist fit it. You can pick a 1TB (1000GB) one up for under €50 which you simply plug into any spare USB port and it will appear on your Computer as a new drive letter.

Windows 10 which a shop upgraded for me from Windows 7 about 4 months ago. Aunty Says: Hi Bill. This is a bit odd as the Windows 10 upgrade from Win7 or 8 would have used your existing Win7 licence and once installed you shouldn’t have to reactivate it. Maybe try entering the original 25 digit key that should be on a Windows sticker underneath your laptop, but apart from that I don´t think I have ever seen a Windows 10 product key and new

Any questions, you can email me at: auntyvirus@costablancapeople.com and hopefully see you all next week.

Amazon hits highest ever share New data on the physical entertainment market has revealed that over a third of shoppers in the market made a purchase at Amazon in the 12 weeks ending July, helping the retailer achieve its highest ever share outside the Christmas period. Despite a slight drop in gaming in the face of competition from GAME, Tesco and Argos, Amazon has done particularly well in video and music and was in a strong position ahead of Amazon Prime Day, with its share edging in front of what it achieved around Black Friday last year. Online spend across the industry has bounced back from declines over the past year and now accounts for over a third of spend – the highest it’s been since this time in 2015. Having the availability of a wide back catalogue means online retailers are extremely well-placed to cater to changes in consumer demand, as exemplified by the recent surge in sales of Bowie and Prince albums following the death of both iconic artists earlier this year. The scale of their popularity can have a huge impact – Prince sold more than any other new release artist other than Adele this quarter, just as

David Bowie did earlier this year. No music titles made it into the top 30 entertainment products this quarter though the category performed better than other entertainment sectors – particularly catalogue CDs over six months old, which grew by 9% year on year. Glastonbury boosted interest in its headliners’ albums with Adele and Coldplay occupying three of the top five album slots. Among the traditional high street retailers, HMV has improved its year-on-year performance once again, though it was unable to maintain the market share high of 16.9% which it achieved last quarter. Meanwhile, performance among the supermarkets was mixed. Sainsbury’s has grown in value, adding over £2 million in the entertainment category by enticing an additional 100,000 shoppers and improving purchase frequency. Sainsbury’s has become the fourth biggest retailer in entertainment for the first time, with its share of 9.7% higher than at any point in the past five years. During the quarter both Sainsbury’s and GAME overtook Asda, which has seen share of physical entertainment halve since 2014, reflecting its overall

grocery decline of 5.6%. Star Wars: The Force Awakens was the biggest title across the whole physical entertainment market, with 1.8 million shoppers picking up a physical copy. Tesco was the big winner, taking nearly a third of all spend – it has consistently performed well with new releases, averaging around 30% share over the past year. Following its box office success the video release was hugely anticipated and over 80% of purchases were pre planned – compared with an average of 63% for new releases. Despite some strong releases in the games market, with three titles making the top five entertainment products – Uncharted 4, Overwatch and Doom, physical games are under increasing competition from the digital market. Digital games (excluding downloadable content) made up 36.0% of all spend on games in the quarter, a record share. The second quarter tends to be the strongest for digital gaming and compares with an average share across the year of only 23.1%, as blockbuster releases later in the year and Christmas gifting remain more focused on the physical product.

people Time to slow down 253 died in traffic There’s an accident waiting to happen on Calle Otelo in Villamartin, which is being used as a short cut by people driving between Villamartin and Playa Flamenca. Despite a multitude of official requests since 2007 from Residents’ Association President, Ron Burks, it appears that the Town Hall in Orihuela Costa has chosen to ignore every one. Ron says he can provide evidence that each of his requests has been stamped as received by the Ayuntamiento, but no response has ever been made to his requests. “It’s a ludicrous situation,” Ron remarked. “And, before long, there will be a terrible accident.” The only people who need to access the road are those who live or have holiday properties there, many of whom have children and pets. The Residents’ Association successfully got the speed

limit lowered to 30 kmph and signs were erected. However, residents claim that drivers ignore the signs and continue to speed down the road, often at more than double the speed limit. This has become a great area of concern for the permanent and holiday homeowners and there have been a few near misses on the sharp bend due to excessive speed. Children between the ages of 2 and 15 years of age are regular holiday visitors to the street, and there are also family pets which are at risk of being injured or killed by these inconsiderate drivers. “I would welcome visitors from local political parties, the Policia Local and members of the Ayuntamiento to discuss what can be done to make the road safer” said Ron. “We want to do everything we can to avoid a tragedy that is waiting to happen”.

accidents this summer During the months of July and August, 253 people died on Spanish roads - 27 deaths more than in the same period last year, representing an increase of 12%, based on provisional data from the DGT traffic authority. In comparison to the summer of 2015, the Autonomous Communities that saw an increase in the number of road fatalities were: Valencia (+12), Balearic Islands (+8), Aragón and Asturias (+5), Castilla-La Mancha and Community of Madrid (+4), Galicia and Castilla y Leon (+3), Murcia (+2), Extremadura and La Rioja (1). Most of the fatalities occurred on secondary roads (78% of total deaths). Specifically, in July there were 113 fatal accidents in which 123 people died, six more than in July last year. Also in August 117 accidents killed 130 people, 17 more than in August 2015. The Directorate General of Traffic (DGT) will continue to promote campaigns and redoubling efforts to intensify surveillance measures on key risk factors of accidents, such as: alcohol or drugs, distractions, speeding, nonregulation overtaking , safety distance, and monitoring of use of the security features (helmet, belt and child restraint systems). July and August also saw an increase in the number of vehicles on the roads in Spain, with 85 million vehicles making long haul journeys, compared to 81.1 million last summer.

Driving during a ‘Gota Fria’ Advice from Driving in Spain expert, David Hudson The municipalities in the Vega Baja area have been preparing for a Gota Fria next month because the recent weather patents suggest that due to the high temperatures and cold fronts, it is quite likely. For those who have not experienced a Gota Fria then the amount of rain and the disruption it causes is hard to describe without seeming to overexaggerate. It is the sheer amount of rainfall in such a small time that results in rapid flooding that catches you unawares. I remember one night checking the weather before going to bed with clear skies then about an hour later I was suddenly waken up by my Spanish neighbour banging on my door and shouting “Agua! Agua!” I rushed out in my pyjamas to find that the water was onto my patio covering three steps. I managed to move two cars but when I opened the door of my little 600 it had 6 inches of water inside. I plunged my feet into the water to find the pedals. It started immediately – I put it into reverse then into first and with high revs I managed to get to high ground before it cut out. The other lesson I learnt that night is to put on wellies because in my shoes the road chippings slipped into my shoes and badly cut the soles of my feet which I only found out when drying out. So keep boots handy when heavy rain is forecast. A rainfall of 100mm per sqaure meter in an hour is not unheard of. Be careful of the undercurrent when walking in fast flowing water because it

will sweep you off your feet. Rumour has it that the Vega Baja was a swamp before the Orihuela Bishop in 15th century gave a pardon to any convict who would settle in the Vega Baja to help clear the area even though the life expectancy was the early 20s. This was to create the garden of Spain with fertile earth but when extreme rain fall arrives then nature returns to its original source with the rivers following their natural flow. Be aware of dried up river beds or cules which will fill up quickly. Underground car parks are a risk so if you are in one and water starts to flow in get out quickly because it could fill up rapidly and cover your car – leave your car for the insurance. In Elche people have drowned in the underground car parks trying to get their car out! This applies to anyone with a garage under their house. The other danger is at night - be very careful when driving because all the usual markings such as kerbs and road markings will not be very visible and it will only be a sheet

of water. If you leave the road then you could easily drive into deep water and a car does not make a good boat. Regularly people have drown in their car when it has left the road even in daylight so be especially careful. I have produced a simple information free sheet that may help you if we experience a Gota Fria just email me clasicos600@yahoo.co.uk

Gig Guide

September 13th-19th 2016

T

o be a successful act you sometimes have to be a bit of a chameleon. One such act is Ricky Patton. Last week he was part of the Trio who packed out Consum Square with well over 200 people. This week he can be found in 3 different guises. Firstly as himself – just a man and his guitar on Tuesday at La Bodegueta. On Wednesday he is joined by 4 of his fellow musicians and transforms into The 5 piece Eagles tribute band – the Desperados. They will be filling the square in Villamartin Plaza. As if that wasn’t confusing enough, by Friday it’s all change again. The number is 4 and the music is all Beatles at the Club in Quesada, where The Starbeats will be reigning supreme. But it doesn’t stop there. Ricky is such a diverse entertainer that he also can do gigs dedicated to Roy Orbison or Barry Manilow. By joins forces with fellow Starbeats’ member Ray Daniels they become The Everlys. Confused? I would be, but Ricky and many acts like him love to keep busy and as performing is their life, they wouldn’t have it any other way. No wonder he has such a huge fanbase. A new act to watch out for from this week is Denia’s very own Rob Sweeney. Rob is well known in the area as the lead singer of the party wedding band Strikland. Now Rob has decided to leave that part of his life behind him and that the Southern Costa Blanca is going to be his new home. Rob won a search for a star award way back when and hasn’t looked back since. He is well travelled and has not only trodden the board in the UK, Canaries and Benidorm and the Northern Costa Blanca but has starred in recent massive sell out “Aspects of Musicals”. For someone with such a huge repertoire from soul to Bublé to modern and musical theatre, Rob is a very unassuming man who just loves to turn his hand to any occasion. You can see him first on Saturday at Pablo’s International in Playa Flamenca and then on Sunday at The Black Bull in San Miguel where you can enjoy a sumptuous Sunday lunch while you soak up the mellow music. Just a quick reminder to all of you Richie Alexander fans. Mr Northern Soul will be at the Club this Monday and not 26th. Let’s hope he has recovered from the Sunday night when he will be appearing at Benidorm Palace for the Help for Heroes variety night when he will be starring with the likes of Gareth Gates, Katrina (Katrina and The Waves), The Grumbleweeds, Stevie Spit and Nikki G. It’s all go when you are one of the most popular acts on the Costa Blanca!

Local Oceanwoman 5km Champions on Tarbarca Island This weekend the International Oceanman Openwater Championship Competition came to Tarbarca Island, off the coast from Santa Pola for three open water races in this year’s circuit. Swimmers competed across three different distances 10km, 5km and 2 kms. Oceanman is the only International Championship in Open Water Swimming designed by swimmers, for swimmers. Oceanman 2016 is held at five venues across two continents, offering both professional and amateur swimmers the chance to achieve their personal goals in unique locations, for their beauty and surroundings, like the Costa Brava, Tabarca Island, Lake Orta, the Caribbean Sea and on Mediterranean in the World Championship Final to be held in Benidorm on 16th October 2016. Sunday 11th September saw an early start for all swimmers ferried in three journeys to Tarbarca from 6:30am onwards. Races then commenced in a series of staggered starts, the 10km swimmers going first at 8am followed by the 5km race at 9am and the 2km race at 11am. To ensure swimmers safety in the water Jet Ski, boats & canoes escorted the swimmers around the courses. Four and a half hours later race winners were presented with a series of awards and prizes.

Natacion Tenis Elche were placed 2nd and 3rd in the Oceanman 5km race gaining Elite status and entry into the World Championships in Benidorm. In the Female Oceanwoman 5km race Zoe Connolly, Club Natacion Elche, won 1st place as the first female to finish and 1st place in the Junior 16-19yrs category. Second placed was mum Vicki Connolly, Club Natacion Elche, finishing as the 2nd female to complete the race and in 1st place in the 50+ category. The third Elche swimmer, Beryl Altabas had an outstanding swim winning the female 60+ category and being the oldest female swimmer to finish in this year’s series of races. All three girls have gained places in the World Championships in Benidorm.

Your Week in Sport ■ CHRIS DARWEN chris@costablancapeople.com

The Paralympics are in full flight over in Rio and are the second best attended of all time, according to reports. The other way of phrasing that would be, not as many people have attended as London 2012, which was the best attended Paralympics of all time. Spin, hey? More importantly at the time of writing GB & NI had won 20 gold, 11 silver and 15 bronze medals. There have been far too many incredible performances to list, so I shall only mention Kadeena Cox who not only won bronze in the T38 (a classification) 100m but went on to double her medal tally with gold in the cycling time trial. This isn’t like Usain Bolt just running a bit further and picking up the 200m gold, she did it in a completely different sport. Credit to Kell Brook, it can’t be easy

for pound fighter in the world. Brook, even with a fractured eye socket, looked aghast as his corner threw in the towel during round five of his middleweight title fight against Golovkin. The trainer, Ingle, has come in for criticism since but considering Brook was only able to see out of one eye and was being led a merry dance it seemed to be the correct thing to do. Jamie Murray has won his third Grand Slam doubles title at the US Open. Where his brother bowed out in the quarter finals following a great summer, Jamie went on to win the Men’s Doubles with Bruno Soares. German Angelique Kerber celebrated becoming the new world number one ladies player by beating Pliskova in three sets in Saturday’s Women’s Final. (Djovokic final) Mo Farah won the Great North Run on Sunday, whilst once more surrounded in controversy as an online Q&A session ended in farcical circumstances as the runner was quizzed about performance enhancing drugs. I can’t understand why Mo continues to be questioned, can you? England ended their international cricket summer with a T20 loss to Pakistan. More interestingly, Eoin Morgan has decided he will not be touring Bangladesh this winter and, as a result, has been told his position might be under threat by Andrew Strauss, the England Cricket Director. Yes, those of you with a long cricketing memory will remember that it is the very same Andrew Strauss who chose not to tour Bangladesh himself when England captain.

Passing Game Olympic 3 - CD Torrevieja 0 Coaches seem to be obsessed with insisting their teams pass the ball relentlessly. Pep Guardiola sent the England keeper to Italy in favour of a goalkeeper who was a better passer of the ball! Judged on his debut in the Premier League, he is not a patch on Hart, or Marcano for that matter! Marcano made several outstanding saves, twice coming out fast to tackle an opponent and block one on one opportunities for Olimpic. But even his excellence could not prevent Torry falling to consecutive 3-0 defeats. Vicente Boix was also in top form, blazing forward to support the attack and putting in some terrific crosses. In the second half with the score at 1-0, he flew down the right flank, controlled the ball and then nutmegged his opponent, rounding him and getting to the byeline before delivering a perfect pass to Carrasco who was waiting in the centre on the edge of the six yard box. Carrasco swept the ball three yards over the bar in what could have been a pivotal moment. Torry were out battled for all of the first half, Olimpic being quicker to the ball, first to react to loose balls, several players running selflessly into spaces and constantly putting pressure on the ball when Torry were in possession. For their part, Torry continued to pass the ball from goalkeeper, through the defensive players, before giving it away, or resorting to a speculative long ball in the hope that someone would get to it. Someone did, invariably an Olimpic defender. In the entirety of the ninety minutes Torry never had

one single shot on target. The starting eleven was a little baffling, but perhaps the thinking was that wholesale change was required after the 3-0 home loss to Orihuela. In came Salamanca to lead the line and have his first start, having been previously used as a substitute. Pablo Navas was given his debut with Melli and Pavon also in the starting line up. Dropped to the bench was Abraham and Lewis, with no start for Damian Aguero, insulted by being deployed in the 89th minute of play when Torry trailed 3-0! It all smacked of desperation - and desperate it was. Defensive frailities were at the heart of all the goals. Marc Cosme was unmarked in the box and able to pick his spot on 26 minutes to give Olimpic a deserved advantage at the interval. In the second period, Torry did make a fist of it, being more penetrative, especially through Luis Carlos and Vicente down the wings. However, the truth is that despite the

Captains in Xativa

effort in the middle of the park, there was no incisive through balls, no defence splitting passes and little in the way of invention. Surely the talent that is Damian Aguero should have played from the outset to provide the required work effort and ingenuity? Playing the beefy Salamanca up front was not a bad idea. He is strong, able to hold the ball up and wins his fair share in the air, able to flick on into the forward space for colleagues. The only trouble was that he was not given this service and even if he had, there was no Lewis to feed off his wins! All in all, it looked a mish mash of confused and foolhardy tactics. Martin could only direct the ball to Juanma in the 75th minute

as once again the Torry defence found itself floundering and Juanma made no mistake. Two minutes later after a courageous save from Marcano the ball was gathered by the home side and rifled home to complete the scoring and ensure Torry stay plum last of the 21 teams in the group. After an appeal by Almoradi about the suspension that should have been served by Matheus in the opener against them in which they lost 3-2, the ruling was made in their favour and they were awarded the match by 3-0. Thus Torry has no points and a goal difference of minus 10. Should they lose at home on Wednesday night to Rayo Ibsense (6.30 k.o at the Nelson Mandela), then it could be carnage. This is already the worst start to a season in the history of the club. Expect blood and thunder in the contest and fireworks after the match should Torry lose! by Jeff Scott

Real Madrid go ahead as rivals falter ABBEY ANGLING We fished the 1st match of the Winter Series at the El Bosquet Complex on the 6th September It was a good turnout considering this is still the holiday period and with the heat. With Lennie drawing peg 15 it was a foregone conclusion that the rest of us where now fishing for second spot, he fished the pole with the monkey using pellet to mass another excellent weight of over 37kgs to take top spot and it was Richard Wood who took 2nd place on peg one with 19.700kgs fishing the method feeder using luncheon meat 1st Lennie Bolton with 37.900kgs fishing the pole with the monkey using pellet 2nd Richard Wood with 19.700kgs fishing the method feeder using luncheon meat 3rd Neil McBirnie with 18.620kgs fishing the pole using pellet This years Memorial Match will be fished on the 20th September at Murcia and incorporated in the 3rd round of the Winter Series.

at the present time. Neil the “Boy” is back to his winning ways taking top spot with over 33kgs, and nice to see Dave Hoare making a comeback after a lean spell, taking 2nd place with 27.680kgs and Bill Reade Mr Consistency taking 3rd place with 26.620kgs 1st Neil McBirnie with 33.560kgs 2nd Dave Hoare with 27.680kgs 3rd Bill Reade with 26.620kgs All fishing the pole and using pellet A warning to everyone fishing the El Bosquet Complex, the Police had a purge last Friday, booking anglers for no licences on them or inappropriate Valencia licences(must be the small card not the paper receipt issued by La Mata Town Hall) and for having no proof of identity with them. Also when you pay and receive your day ticket, you need to print your name and NIE number on the front of it to be legal There are still some vacancies at the Club and if anyone is interested in joining please contact Derek Swann on 9966729293 or 617283503 TIGHT LINES Terry Screen

RODS & REELS We also fished at the El Bosquet Complex for the first of our open matches on the 7th September Good weights were expected after the results of the match fished here yesterday, pellet seems to be the in bait

In Friday night’s televised match, Español and Real Sociedad fought out a draw, then, at the unusual hour of one o’clock on Saturday, Atletico Madrid visited Vigo to take on Celta. Antoine Griezmann continued his good form, scoring twice as the visitors won 0-4. It was the turn of Real Madrid to entertain newly-promoted Osasuna, who showed some early promise, despite a setback when Cristiano Ronaldo marked his return with a goal after four minutes. It was almost half time before Real added to their tally, then Danilo, Sergio Ramos, Pepe and Modric, added more, before Osasuna took advantage of defensive lapses to score two of their own. The win gives Zidane a share of Muñoz’s record number of consecutive victories. Las Palmas, surprise leaders after two matches, visited Sevilla, and looked to be voyaging back to their island with the points, but the home side came up with two late goals to knock them off their perch. Another team to come unstuck was Barcelona. A home game with another newly-promoted club, Alavés, looked a cinch, but Brazilian

Deyverson had other ideas, putting the visitors ahead, before Mathieu equalized. It looked to be the start of a familiar Barça fightback, but Ibai Gomez scored a shock winner for the Basques, effectively leaving Real Madrid out alone at the top. Meanwhile Villareal beat Málaga 2-0. Hapless Valencia once more contrived to lose – this time at home to Betis, 2-3, and so remain pointless, a dubious distinction they currently share with Celta, at the foot of the table. Tiny Eibar crept into seventh place when they snatched a late winner against Granada, and their ‘big brothers,’ Athletic Bilbao, also got a late winner to take the points at Deportivo. In the Second Division, Valencia’s neighbours Levante became sole leaders when they had an excellent 4-2 win over Zaragoza, who are now tied for second place with Valladolid and local side Elche, three points behind. Alicante side Hercules scored the only goal in their division 2B encounter with relegated Llagostera, whilst Alcoyano had a good win over Barcelona B to go fourth. The biggest tennis news came from the

US Open, where Angelique Gerber took the title for her second Grand Slam, and with it, the WTA Nº 1 spot. Not to be outdone, Stan Wawrinka took the men’s title, beating none other than Nowak Djokovic in a four-set final. In cycling’s Vuelta, Chris Froome, earlier rather let down by his Sky team, failed to make up lost time, despite a great effort in the Calpe time-trial, and had to acknowledge the victory of Colombian Nairo Quintana his second place was, in fact, a fine result. Malcolm Palmer

Stray Sod Golf Society A good turnout considering the sweltering heat. Roda was in great condition and we were well looked after by the staff. We played singles stableford and 2 nearest the pins. This week’s winner with a score of 39 points was Wayne Jenkins runner up was Pete Edwards with 37 points playing off 9. Nearest the pins hole 7 was Andy

McDonald Hole 13 Pete Edwards. We returned back to the Sod for another fabulous buffet, thanks to Eoin and all his staff for their hospitality. Next fixture 20th September El Valle - 9.40 first tee. To book your place leave your name behind the bar at The Stray Sod or ring Maurice on 690268711.

Tales from the Top Flight by Chris Darwen ■ CHRIS DARWEN chris@costablancapeople.com

This has to be the worst Premier League title defence since, well I don’t know, Chelsea last season, right? It looks like my predictions for last season might have been accurate, just a year too soon with Chelsea and City in the top two and West Ham being relegated with Leicester. I jest of course, Hull are still on track to win the league. I suppose we have to start with the Manchester derby so that Sky can continue to feel they are getting some return on their hype investment. The way social media went into melt-down one can only assume that Joe Hart has never missed a cross or made a mistake in his life! I am fairly certain that Bravo having a slightly shaky, and I am being

nice, debut doesn’t undo the fact that Joe was head and shoulders the poorest keeper on show at Euro 2016. In fact, since that sentence fell from my fingers

Joe Hart managed to outdo Bravo on his Torino debut, completely missing a cross in his new team’s defeat. Pep calling Bravo’s debut one of the best ever was stretching the faith of even the most cynical City fan. City won 2-1 without Aguero and United lost 2-1 without Pogba, Mkhitaryan and Lingard. Following the Old Firm derby people are still said to be worried about the whereabouts of Joey Barton and Paul Pogba, last seen in a line up with their team-mates shortly before their respective kick offs. Pogba was last seen climbing out for Fernando’s pocket and leaving the stadium on United’s official tractor. Courtois has as many poor games as Costa has uneventful ones, so it was quite a surprise to see the Belgian at fault on Sunday afternoon. Equally, it was far from a surprise that the league’s finest rogue scored twice for Conte’s side and spent a fair proportion of his time endearing himself to the Swansea defence. Swansea were fine value for their 2-1 lead until Diego nearly removed Kyle Naughton’s head with an acrobatically lethal overhead kick. It is nice to see my cunning plan to offend Harry Kane into scoring goals worked. With the dawn of September the Spurs striker has come out of hibernation once more and scored his side’s 4th in a convincing 4-0 win at Stoke. It had been a tough week for Dele Alli, with both Kane and Alli’s father desperate to restore their relationships with the talented midfielder. Fortunately for Spurs fans it seems that Hazza and Dells are very much on the same wavelength once more, going into their Champions League debuts in mid-

week. The Watford manager, Walter Mazzarri, had said that he should be judged from their match at West Ham onwards now he had the players he

header, unsurprisingly. It was Wilfred Zaha who won the game for Palace, and he looked happy to still be an Eagle.

his in-depth analysis. I didn’t bother turning to Paul Merson for a second opinion.

Jack Wilshere came off the bench for Bournemouth, but his debut was upstaged by an outrageous winning goal by Callum Wilson. If you have not seen it, you have to check it out and decide whether he or Deeney deserve goal of the weekend. Jack looks set to be used little and often by Eddie Howe, which might actually work.

Leicester. Oh Leicester. The new cameras at Anfield are higher than the expectations of even the most unrealistic Liverpool fan, but they still showed last season’s champions being dismantled by Klopp’s men that included 50% of an actual back four. For every person suggesting Liverpool could challenge there will be many more saying Henderson, Milner at left back and Burnley are valid reasons as to why it will not be this year but I am more concerned about Kloppo’s stash of glasses. If they keep scoring goals like that he is going to need to a regularly supply more reliable than Sturridge’s availability.

Arsenal are at peak Arsenal level already. With last gasp winners comes hope of title challenges, and with that

Walter Mazzarri

wanted. At 2-0 down after not very long with West Ham throwing in both a worm celebration and an outrageous rabona assist from Payet, it looked like Walter was to be very much judged. But Watford were incredible in their comeback, turning a 2-0 deficit into a 42 win including a fine goal from “why isn’t he in the England squad” striker, Troy Deeney. Not that all the West Ham fans saw Watford’s comeback, of course. No, not because the pitch is so far from the stands but because many of them chose to spend their Saturday afternoon having a punch up. Careful you don’t spill that popcorn. Newcastle fans will tell you, Alan Pardew doesn’t win very often in the North East so Palace’s 2-1 win at Middlesbrough was quite a surprise. Benteke was replaced by Benteke after Benteke had opened the scoring with a

Hull City got their title bid back on track with a 1-1 draw with Burnley. The players want Mike Phelan to stay, Mike Phelan wants to stay so there is every chance it might end up being Martin O’Neill and Roy Keane.

Lucas Perez

hope will undoubtedly come sorrow and misery when dropping points at Hull and Burnley is joined by getting smashed at United and City. Arsenal beat Southampton courtesy of a slightly contentious last minute penalty in a match where Mustafi and Lucas Perez made their debuts. The bad news for Gunners fans is that Ian Wright does not rate Lucas Perez and, as we all know, Wrighty is always bang on target with

Mike Phelan

Oh, and if you do see Pogba anywhere, could you let Jose know please?
