COUNCIL DIVISION OVER SPORTS CLUBS disagreement is the Municipal sports service. ■ SUZANNE O’CONNELL suzanne@costablancapeople.com

Sports provision conflict

The mayor of Torrevieja, José Manuel Dolón has asked the councillors representing the political party Sueña Torrevieja to take back their announcement that they have lost confidence in him or to withdraw from their roles.

The stand off has occurred because of disagreements over the Municipal sports school. It is claimed that the contracts on which the school is based are not legal and to continue with them in their current form could even carry a prison sentence for a councillor. As such, the council wanted to change the terms under which the sports clubs were being run. The proposal was that the

he two councillors, Pablo Samper and Alejandro Blanco are responsible between them for sports, culture, works and services. Dolón has explained that the governing body of Torrevieja and the workings of the council depend upon them having faith and trust in one another and that this must be mutual and reciprocal. The Sueña councillors have indicated that they might withdraw from the government. The main source of the

service would be privatised with help for families with very low incomes. However, this suggestion proved highly controversial due to the likely hike in prices that would have resulted for most of those using the clubs. The provision for children and young people runs throughout the academic year and parents only have to pay a €60 registration fee to benefit from a whole range of sports activities. The main clubs include football, netball, handball, athletics and hockey. Nicki Mortimer currently has two

children who benefit from the Municipal sports service. ‘We pay €60 a year for this. A private club would charge probably €30 a month. We can’t afford that kind of money.’ The council has not only subsidised the provision of coaches in the past but also additional resources for the club such as the buses that take the children and young people to sporting events in other parts of the country. Nicki wasn’t the only one who was concerned about the proposals and a demonstration was planned to object

against the changes. However, following the intervention of Councillor Pablo Samper on their behalf, objectors felt assured that the sports clubs would continue as usual.

Government U-turn Parents then paid the registration fee with the expectation that the clubs were to go ahead as planned. However, they have now been told that in fact the clubs are still not going ahead because of the illegality of the contracts. ‘The mayor is adamant that everything will be done following all the legal requirements. But it is the children who will miss out if the terms of the municipal club change,’ points out Nicki. ‘How can we advertise ourselves as being a sports city if we can’t even provide affordable sports opportunities for the children who live here?’ On the 30th September an announcement was made by the town hall that as the contract for monitors had Continued on page 3

Indoor swimming pool urgent work It’s not looking good for Torrevieja’s sports city status at the moment. Its indoor swimming pool will not be opening in the near future due to the need for urgent work. The heaters, which maintain the temperature in the pool, need mending. A number of repairs need to be made including repairing electrical panels and the replacement of air tubes. Pablo Samper, Councillor for sport, has explained that the pool has accumulated a number of problems over the years which have not been repaired when they should have been. This lack of attention has now resulted in it remaining out of action for the current season. However, not to make the repairs would endanger those using the pool.

The third charity fair On the 8th October Torrevieja will host its third charity fair. The event will be held on the Paseo de Juan Aparicio opposite the Hombre del Mar on the front in Torrevieja. There will be music to accompany the event which includes stands occupied by a number of different charitable organisations that exist in the town. The public are welcome to come and browse along the stalls between 12am and 2pm. ‘Anyone who might be prepared to volunteer or those wanting more information about the different associations are particularly welcome,’ Continued on page 5

Alternative plans The mayor is now looking at alternative ways of financing the sports clubs to ensure they can take place but without breaking the law. Since then a brief press release has stated that this suspension of activities is only temporary whilst alternative means are found of providing the service. It has been suggested that an alternative might be through the assistance of a private company with the support of the town council.

In total an amount of €36,000 is needed with which to contract coaches and maintain the matriculation at a reasonable level for families. It is thought that Agamed, who are not confined in their contracting to the same extent as the town hall, might be able to intervene. However the precarious situation of the local government continues. Councillor Samper and Alejandro Blanco remain of the opinion that the contract with Ferrovial could have been extended. For those children and their parents who have enjoyed the benefit of sports clubs in the past and were hoping to in the future, this continues to be a tense period of uncertainty.

Belgian woman arrested for defrauding tenants The National Police arrested a 49 year old woman of Belgian nationality in Formentera del Segura last week for allegedly defrauding the tenants of her apartments in Calpe over the last four years. The woman charged people between €12,500 and €15,500 as a deposit, money which she then took and diverted into other accounts in her name. It transpired that this woman was the subject of a European Arrest Warrant for fraud and was being sought by the Belgian authorities as a fugitive until finally being arrested. The suspect offered five compatriots apartments in Calpe for a price “well

below their real value” to make the victims believe the amount was because the homes were listed as bank embargoed stock. Later she asked them for between €12,500 and €15,500 as a deposit to reserve the property and took the money. The police investigation located various bank transfers in her name, which the officers who were investigating her checked were the method she was using to carry out the fraud. The events occurred in Belgium and Spain. The arrested woman committed them sporadically and intermittently since September 2012, in which time she managed to defraud five people.

Red rag to a bull (ring) The historic bull ring in Orihuela which has been a crumbling ruin for the last 30 years is to be saved and turned into a beautiful cultural arena for up to 2,800 persons with museum, garden, playground for children and cafeteria (see story on page 24). This will be Orihuela city’s third cultural centre. Residents already have the classic Teatro Circo which can seat an audience of 1,000 and the Lonja which is used for exhibitions and has an auditorium with seats for 600. The cost of restoring the bull ring is estimated to be over €400,000, and where will this money come from? Costal political Party CLARO believes that it will be from Orihuela Costa; Orihuela Costa which has a population equal to that of Orihuela city, but has no cultural centre of its own. The many groups on the coast that organise cultural and social activities such as choirs, theatre, dance, bridge, indoor sports and simply social groups all have to find and pay for premises in which to organise their activities, mainly in bars and restaurants. Orihuela Costa has no official library with leisure reading and study facilities for the areas nearly 5,000 children and young people. The so-called reading point was isolated, stocked with second hand books and run by volunteers. It was at best, says CLARO, a half measure and was closed some time ago. Orihuela city has three splendid public libraries all manned by professional staff. In the recent public hearings for the 2017 budget, CLARO, the Federation of Associations of Orihuela Costa and an interested resident put forward proposals for a cultural centre in Orihuela Costa, including a library, to be situated on municipal land in the parking area of the centrally placed La Zenia Boulevard Commercial Centre. The Mayor said on the occasion of the budget hearing that there would be left over funds from previous financial years and Orihuela Costa could look forward soon to some attractive investments in infrastructure and social facilities. He did not, however, refer to the rumour that the so-called cultural centre would be housed in what CLARO describes as ‘an inappropriate empty shell of a building’, isolated and kilometres from the centre of

Orihuela Costa, along the canal road in Villamartin, with no parking facilities, beside an abandoned social housing project. Nor did he apologise for the fact that year after year, Orihuela Costa gets no benefit whatsoever from the million euro annual cultural budget. Of course, the reason for that, says CLARO, is because Orihuela Costa it has no facilities to host events! A CLARO spokesperson said: “Alas, we are being cheated again of our rights. At first the Mayor was reported to be intending to take the money for the revamped bull ring from funds set aside to expropriate land to be used to complete the coastal promenade between Cala Capitan and Cala Mosca. Such disrespect for an emblematic project to enhance the Orihuela Costa coastline would not have been surprising. Fortunately, this scheme proved unworkable otherwise we could have said goodbye forever to a completed coastal promenade, perhaps the only jewel in Orihueal Costa’s otherwise hollow crown. Now the funds to revamp the ruined bullring are apparently to be taken from the left over funds from previous years – the ones half-promised by the Mayor for Orihuela Costa.” It appears that once again the coast is to be victims of shabby treatment when a revived housing boom is expanding the population of Orihuela Costa, swelling the coffers of the Orihuela Town Hall and highlighting the deficiencies in services and facilities between the city and the coast. There remains no acknowledgement that without the income from the coast, the city would suffer a tremendous reduction in services, cultural and sporting facilities and quality of life in general. CLARO ended saying: “Robbing Orihuela Costa of the money needed to improve the quality of life of its residents in order to revamp the bullring and create a third cultural centre in Orihuela city, should be a red rag to the bull of Orihuela Costa’s respectful, law abiding, tax paying for nothing-in-return residents.”

It would also be appreciated if those attending made a donation or bought one of the many items that will be for sale on the day. On this occasion the charity fair is returning to its original site and the stalls will be in a circle rather than in the line that was tried last time the event was held. In the middle of the stalls there will be a central area to be used for performances by different nationalities representing different parts of the world. If you are a charitable organisation and would like to join up, there is still time to indicate interest as the registration is not yet closed.

Police mediation Two police officers from the Policia Local have now completed an intensive course in police mediation. The intention is that this training can be used to help mediate in conflict situations. The mayor of Torrevieja said; ‘These skills will increase the confidence that the population of Torrevieja has in its police force as well as providing an alternative strategy for resolving problems.’ In this model of conflict resolution it is the citizen who is responsible for finding the solution with help from the mediator. With the courts already being overburdened, this approach is hoped to go some way to alleviating this. It has already been applied in Villareal where it has been credited with reducing the number of cases going to court. Mediation is a process that can be engaged on by those who are involved in private conflicts and are prepared to try it on a voluntary basis. It allows the different parties to communicate, express their feelings and interests. It is enabled by a third party who remains neutral and who facilitates the process. The aim being to come to a satisfactory conclusion for all parties. The approach can be difficult and it requires trained personnel to implement it.

World tourism day The 27th September was world tourism day. To celebrate it some pupils from IES Mare Nostrum were treated to theoretical and practical sessions about nautical opportunities for tourism. The students were given a talk on healthy and sustainable tourism and took part in a walk along the coast. Water sports play an important part in Torrevieja’s offer. Councillor Domingo Pérez explained; ‘Water sports are an essential part of tourism in this town and it’s important that those studying the subject are aware of it.

All of course to accumulate as much money as possible for Macmillan Cancer Support, and at the end of the evening 2,025 euros had been raised, which exceeded all expectations. Juanita and John would like to thank Chris from Macmillan Cancer Support for attending the event, daughter Joanne and son-in-law John for their help and the numerous local businesses that made very generous donations or gave prizes for the evening. Douglas Macmillan watched his father die of cancer and his father's pain and suffering moved Douglas so much, he used his 10 pounds inheritance to found the ‘Society for the Prevention and Relief of Cancer’. Douglas wanted advice and information to be provided to all people with cancer, homes for patients at low or no cost, and voluntary nurses to attend to patients in their own homes. Today much of Douglas' legacy lives on. Macmillan is still a source of support for people living with cancer and is also a key force in improving cancer care.

Missing woman with Alzheimer’s found Local Police in Orihuela acted quickly to find a woman who is suffering from Alzheimer's, after she had disappeared from her home in the village of El Mudamiento.

Gas explosion near Malaga More than 70 people have been injured, five seriously, in Velez-Malaga, Andalucia, after its is believed a gas cylinder exploded at La Bohemia café during a festival at around 7pm on Saturday evening. Emergency services said almost sixty people were taken to hospital mainly suffering from cuts and bruises. None of those seriously injured were at risk of dying, a spokesman for the local hospital said. Video footage posted on social media showed people fleeing the café after the explosion, with the street outside covered in debris. Customers of the café were alerted to a blaze in the kitchen by a cook, which gave most people the chance to escape the café before the gas cyclinder exploded. Local newspaper La Opinion de Malaga reported that police cars helped ferry the injured to hospital because the local ambulance service was overwhelmed with casualties. The cause of the blast “could have been a gas leak,” the town’s mayor, Antonio Moreno Ferrer, told local reporters.

Balloon release to raise breast cancer awareness

BITE SIZE NEWS:

October is International Breast Cancer Awareness Month, an initiative created by the World Health Organisation and marked in countries across the world. The aim is to help increase attention and support for early detection, treatment and palliative care of this disease. There are on average 1.38 million new cases and 458 000 deaths from breast cancer each year and it is by far the most common cancer in women worldwide, both in the developed and developing countries. However, it is estimated that more than 1.7 million new cases of breast cancer occurred among women worldwide in 2012 - the most recent data available. Currently there is not sufficient knowledge on the causes of breast cancer. Therefore, early detection of the disease remains the cornerstone of breast cancer control. When breast cancer is detected early, and if adequate diagnosis and treatment are available, there is a good chance that breast cancer can be cured.

Winning gymnasts A rhythmic gymnastics club in Torrevieja is celebrating its successes in a Valencian competition. Lucia Leshan won a gold and was proclaimed regional champion in the junior category with the rope apparatus and Sylvana Muñoz a bronze with the ball apparatus. These successes mean that the young participants will be able to go through to the next round of the national competition which will be held from the 8th to 13th November in Valladolid. Also qualifying are Inna Lukivska and Tatyana Shevchyk. Tatyana Shevchyk got fourth place with the hoop in the junior class and Inna Lukivska was fifth with the ball apparatus. The club would like to thank those supporting them including their sponsors the José Serna Foundation, Centro Comercial Habaneras, Autocares Costa Azul and Las Culturas School in Torrevieja.

Local anti-cancer charity the AECC has run its early detection programme for several years, allowing women of all ages subsidised mammogram screening in addition to checks for cervical and ovarian cancer. So, in order to support International Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and raise much-needed funds for the AECC’s Early Detection Programme, Maria and the Pink Ladies will be holding their annual Balloon Release. For the third year running this will be held at Zenia Boulevard, and this year takes place on Sunday 9th October between 12 noon and 6.30pm. The Sunshine FM team will be coordinating the events entertainment programme featuring local performers including: Just Ollie, No limit, Nikki G, Dan Davy, Nick Gold, Kevin Tyler, JJ, Janelle, Ritchie Alexander, Johnny Lea, Jay Markwick and Kylie. All the performers will be giving their time for free, as will the day’s compere Stevie Spit.

Members of the local community are being asked to show their support by buying helium filled pink balloons for just 2 euros each. Tickets on the balloons can be dedicated to loved ones who are battling cancer or in memory of lost loved ones. Each balloon will also have information on the owner and the balloon that travels the furthest and the card returned will win a 100 euro prize. Balloons will be released around 6.30pm.Tickets can be bought on the day and also on Saturday 8th October.

Improvements going ahead Some of the budget decisions that can now be implemented will mean improvements to the local area. This includes the renewal of street lighting in the region of Rocio del Mar. This will cost a total of €203,142 which is a reduction from the original projected cost of €359,000. Additional work to the cemetery includes the demolition of blocks 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 13 and 14. These were the oldest blocks and are in a very bad condition. The demolition will cost €60,000 and includes arrangements to be made with those currently paying for them for deceased relatives. The remains will need to be correctly identified and carefully transferred to new resting places.

ETA calls for peace agreement Increase in Torrevieja Basque separatist group ETA has criticised Spain and France for failing to reach the kind of peace agreement with it that Colombia did with the leftist FARC rebel force. In a statement published in pro-independence Basque newspaper Gara, the outfit said the response of the French and Spanish government to its declaration of a ceasefire five years ago has been “more than poor”. ETA said this contrasts with the successful outcome of negotiations in Colombia “which began later” and “had a similar base”. “Only ETA has kept its word,” the organisation said in the statement. ETA in October 2011 announced an end to a four-decade armed campaign of bombings and shootings for an independent homeland in northern Spain and south-western France in which over 800 people were killed. The group has since sought to negotiate its dissolution with Spain and France in exchange for an amnesty or for gathering in Basque country prisons the roughly 350 jailed ETA

members in the two countries. Authorities have deliberately scattered ETA prisoners in different facilities in an effort to keep them from working together. Their families say the practice is added punishment and makes it harder for loved ones to visit. However, Madrid and Paris refuse to negotiate with ETA and argue it should disarm without any conditions attached. ETA has broken ceasefires in the past but it said in the statement that laying down arms was “the only path” for its militants. It said an amnesty or re-grouping of its prisoners in both Spain and France should be handled “with the urgency that it deserves”. Colombia’s leftist FARC rebel force signed a historic peace accord with the government Monday and apologised to the countless victims of the country’s half-century civil war. The four-year peace process ended Colombia’s civil strife, the last major armed conflict in the Americas. The accord remains to be ratified by referendum in a week.

bus routes proposed Torrevieja is proposing to increase its number of bus routes to eleven using the public purse. It is intended that the bus service becomes a municipal service and the plans to do so are currently under inspection. Technical experts have been looking at the ways in which other towns in the province manage their public transport. The plans would cost 4.6 million euros in comparison to 6.2 million if the service continues with a private business. The proposal includes increasing the number of routes available from seven to eleven. One of the new routes would link up the new market site with the town and surrounding area. The ticket cost has been set at €1.30 with discounts available for young people and pensioners. Currently Torrevieja has an unusual bus service. Altogether around 15,000 people use it

almost for free. It is practically free for those people who are on the padron and pay for the seven euro bus pass. The low cost has been in place since the nineties and costs the town hall three million euros. The money invested annually, it is claimed, is lost capital which over the years has meant that the town hall doesn’t own any buses, parking facilities or bus stations. The new project would mean the purchase of twenty new vehicles. A change is urgently needed as the service is often criticised by those who work. Complaints include the frequency and punctuality of the buses. Suzanne O’Connell

Crimes against the environment

Losing weight for Paul Villamartin sewer Cunningham nurses system updated Christopher Synnott is currently in Spain on a year’s sabbatical from his teaching job in Surrey. He’s taking this opportunity of a year out to not only improve his own health but help others too. Christopher is aiming to lose 25 kilos altogether and whilst doing so wants to raise money for Paul Cunningham Nurses Charity. He is on his way to this goal, having lost 5.6 kilos already in only two weeks. He’s combining his weight loss programme with walking, cycling and he’s intending to also join a local gym. He’s been attending weekly meetings at Reflections Bar in San Luis to help keep him motivated in his efforts. Christopher is looking for people to sponsor him. If you would like to join in and support this cause then please telephone the charity office in La Marina on 966 790 363 or call into Reflections Bar for a sponsor form. Suzanne O’Connell

Christopher Synnott hopes to be a shadow of his former self

Councillor for Environment and Head of the Integrated Water Cycle, Miguel Angel Fernandez, has visited the works being completed at the Rambla de Villamartín. His visit was accompanied by Hidraqua manager, Juan Jose Alonso, as well as municipal officers and aimed to ‘check the development of work comprising the renewal of the sewer that runs along the inside of the avenue’ said the Councillor. The programme of works, which has a completion time of six weeks, will be used to repair the sanitation collector for the areas and urbanisations of Villacosta, the Canal and Las Filipinas, which is now ‘severely affected to the point where rainwater runs along the rambla rather than being collected by the sewage system,’ said Alonso. The works will be completed in two phases: the first one goes beyond the scope of main thoroughfares and includes the streets Manuel de Falla and Canon

www.costablancapeople.com

Hills, and involves the installation of PVC pipes. The budget for the works amounts to a total of 129,249 euros and will be taken from the Sewer Renewal Fund. The second phase will be undertaken after authorisation by the Hydrographic Confederation of Segura, since the work to be performed is inside of the Rambla. Moreover, the Councillor for the Environment stressed the importance of carrying out this type of action to clean up the network and prevent incidents from occurring in the future.

The neighbourhood association San Miguel Arcángel has called the environmental management of the municipality over the last year “catastrophic”, highlighting the fact that during that time it has reported nine environmental “assaults”. Most of these denuncias were regarding land being cleared and ploughed so it can be used to grow orchards instead of forests. Most of these crimes have directly affected special areas for the protection of birds of the Sierra de Escalona and Dehesa de Campoamor (ZEPA), which are included in the Natura 2000 network and so under European protection. The Association said: “This protection has proved no obstacle to generalised destruction”, even without in most cases the proper permits. Despite their seriousness and the long period of time they have taken place over, there has not even been a cross word from the councillor for the environment, María José Costa Medrano of UPyD, to defend our natural heritage.” “Instead of leading the defence and promotion of our important natural spaces, the councillor and the rest of the council have remained mute while this seemingly unstoppable deterioration has progressed.”

POLICE ARREST JIHADIST IN MURCIA The National Police have detained two presumed Moroccan Jihadists – one in Murcia and another in Valladolid – who were working together to get one of them into Syria to be trained and then to return to commit acts of terrorism. Both men shared jihadist ideals, given they were mutually protecting each other in worship and in praise of the DAESH doctrine and the clandestine nature of their activities. The Interior Ministry reported the one of the two arrested had decided to join ISIL after being radicalised on the Internet

After the frustrated attempt to join DAESH one of the men was detained by the Turkish Police on the border with Syria, so luckily the detained suspect from Valladolid never achieved his goal of joining a combat fighter in the ranks of the terrorist organisation. His helper, who was detained in Murcia, collaborated in arranging the travel details, had organised his planned return and then would change roles and become his protector. The man from Valladolid was radicalised on his Internet account, which he used to browse propaganda and ideological

content promoted by DAESH and their fast moving publicity machine, which is capable of capturing potential candidates from the world, noted the Interior Ministry. As DAESH intended, the man passed through several phases from expressing interest, being indoctrinated and then hooked or captured with the objective of his total conversion to honour the Islamic State. From this point his participation was guaranteed and then final phase was total devotion for DAESH. During this period transport arrangements were being made, with a local DAESH agent in Syria who would

facilitate his route to the conflict zone. Once at his destination, he would be delegated to areas of combat and be given an intensive training course in arms and explosives handling, which it was planned he would use on his return to Europe as a‘fully qualified’ terrorist. This police operation remains open and is part of the continual fight by the National Police against Jihadist radicals based in Spain. This operation came under the control, direction and supervision of the Central Instruction Court 6 in Madrid and will now be coordinated by the Prosecutors in the National Court.

Google bills 12 year old 100,000 euros The mother of a twelve year old boy in Torrevieja had something of a shock when she received a bill from Google for 100,000 euros. The boy wanted to be a Youtuber and with a friend had opened an account in AdWords to advertise their website. The boy had only needed to provide a web page, email address and bank account number in order to activate the service. The money charged was for advertising the very basic website. The bill has now been put in the hands of a lawyer who is arguing that Google has failed to follow through its responsibilities by allowing this to happen to a minor. The young boy had opened an account with Google Adwords with the help of a 15 year old friend. His objective was to collect money through the number of visitors subscribing to listen to the music on the web page. The boy was copying his youtube heroes who he could see collecting millions of subscribers, money and fame to go with it. The reality only struck when the money was demanded from the bank account that the boy had given. Whereas the boy had thought the bank account number was needed to receive money, it was in fact to pay for the advertising. Adwords is the service used to promote and position content in the web. Users pay to have their material given a higher profile in order to capture more business. The method of contracting this form of publicity is very simple and so the boys had no trouble accessing it for themselves, not realising what the actual cost

would be. According to the family, there was no check on the age of the child or his DNI. The boy gave his savings account number which was accepted. The child’s mother, Inma Quesada, explained that her son, who is only in the first year of secondary school, was talking about the huge quantity of money he was going to make from his new venture. ‘I didn’t pay much attention. I just thought it was a kids thing. He said he wanted to be a Youtuber,’ she said. It was at the beginning of August when the bank alerted his mother to the charge being made by Google from Ireland. They advised her that it was linked to her son’s mobile. She then went on to discover that amounts of €50, €100, €150, €638, €915 up to €1,500 had been charged to the account. In one week a total of €18,000 had been charged. In less than a month the boys had managed to clock up an astronomical bill of €100,000. The parents are shocked and confused as to how two boys can be charged this amount of money without the multinational organisation being aware that something was wrong. The family, who live in Torrevieja, do not have the money to pay this bill and currently an appeal is being lodged on their behalf. Suzanne O’Connell

Bankia credit card trial begins One of the biggest scandals to rock Spanish society during the economic crisis has finally reached court. The socalled “tarjetas black,” trial will judge the complimentary credit cards handed out to dozens of officials at two struggling banks. Between 1999 and 2012, former executives and board members at Caja Madrid, which later merged with other failed lenders to form Bankia, were given credit cards that drew money from a bank fund. These amounts did not show up on any bank documents or job contracts, nor were they reported in tax returns. The 65 defendants used these cards liberally to pay for personal items and expenses, racking up bills worth €15.5 million on everything from gourmet restaurants to designer clothes and expensive travel. The suspects include Rodrigo Rato, the former finance minister with the Popular Party (PP) who also headed the International Monetary Fund (IMF) between 2004 and 2007. Rato became chairman of the Caja Madrid savings bank in 2010 and then went on to head Bankia, the bank that resulted from the merger of Caja Madrid with six other struggling lenders. The executives and board members who enjoyed this financial bonus represent nearly every political party and every labor union in Spain. They face prison terms of one to six years for embezzlement. As the trial began, a group of protesters hurled insults at the defendants as they walked into the headquarters of the High Court in San Fernando de Henares, Madrid, last week.

Once inside, defense lawyers launched a concerted effort to get their clients exonerated from further prosecution, alleging that the Excel spreadsheet detailing their clients’ bills between 1999 and 2003 is not a valid piece of evidence. “We neither know about the Excel [spreadsheet] nor what kind of custody it’s been in. Besides, it is full of mistakes, duplicate expenses and lists places where my client has never been, and there is nothing to support that those expenditures really took place,” said Dolores Márquez de Prado, the lawyer for Ángel Gómez del Pulgar, a board member sponsored by the Socialist Party (PSOE). Lawyers also sought to get Bankia, which is part of the private prosecution, thrown out of the case on the grounds that it was not affected by the alleged wrongdoing. A third line of reasoning attempted to convince the bench that any existing crimes have already expired under the statute of limitations. However, experts are certain that once these preliminary issues are dealt with, the hearings proper will get underway as planned with a statement by Rodrigo Rato. According to the schedule of hearings, the last defendant will testify on 7th October, followed by expert witness accounts until 23rd December. The trial will try to determine whether the cards were really part of the bank executives’ salaries and legal payment for board members, as the defendants now claim. State attorneys and the private prosecution are focusing particularly on Rato and Miguel Blesa, his predecessor at

Caja Madrid. Both men are accused of misusing funds and face prison terms of up to six years. Some of the board members claim that their credit cards were a supplement because of their dedication to the bank, and that the Tax Agency was aware of their existence. “They were not opaque and they were not black,” said the defense lawyer for Jesús Pedroche, a board member for the Popular Party (PP), who faces a four-year prison term if found guilty.

Living the high life Spaniards struggling under the weight of a long economic crisis were particularly infuriated to hear that executives had spent €3 million on restaurants, €2 million on cash withdrawals, over €1.5 million on trips, over €1 million on groceries and household items, nearly €800,000 on hotels and around €700,000 on jewels, clothes and accessories. And this extravagance at a lender that ultimately had to be bailed out using €22.4 billion of taxpayers’ money. The credit cards were used up until May 2012, when the state stepped in because of the imminent risk of bankruptcy. This, in turn, triggered a EU bailout of Spain’s entire financial system. The scandal broke in October 2014, and since then, only 14 percent of the money has been returned. However, any alleged crimes perpetrated between 1999 and 2003 have now expired under the statute of limitations, meaning that only the money spent between then and 2012, amounting to €12 million, is under scrutiny during this trail.

WEEKLY EURO UPDATE As investors swung from nervousness to confidence and back again the safe-haven euro rallied and dipped and rallied again. The first swing related to the US presidential candidate's debate, which Donald Trump entered in the lead and came out of in second place. The first of three debates between Trump and Clinton drew more than 83 million viewers, making it the most-watched in history. A CNN poll showed that 62 percent of voters who watched the debate said Clinton won the discussion, compared with 27 per cent for Trump. The second swing was OPEC's unexpected decision to cap production, which pushed up oil and equity prices as investor’s embraced risk. Then came the story of Deutsche Bank, which might or might not be in trouble as the result of a $14bn fine in the States which would account for half its market capitalisation. That made investors nervous again. Messrs Yellen and Draghi

were in contrasting moods this week. Stateside, Fed chairperson Janet Yellen played with a straight bat when quizzed about monetary policy. Yes, interest rates will eventually need to go up, but she’d didn’t shed any light on when that might be. Ms Yellen's only concession was to advise the committee that the 2% inflation target is just that; a target, "not a ceiling". Over in Berlin the ECB’s Mario Draghi was far more forthright; informing those present that the Germans are actually doing quite well from the European Central Bank’s ultra-relaxed policy stance. He was adamant that negative rates are not responsible for the troubles of the German banking system. Overall in the week the euro did not move far against the US dollar. It added a couple of dozen ticks having covered a range of just one US cent. The euro took nearly a cent off sterling, which suffered from another week of Brexit uncertainty.

Milk for Reach Out The Councillor for social welfare, África Celdrán, on 26th September delivered a pallet of two hundred litres of milk to ‘Reach Out – Extiende tu mano’. The money for the milk was donated by the participants in the Torrevieja darts tournament which took place in the terrace bar ‘Nueva Torrevieja’. The darts tournament was the first of its kind in Torrevieja and took place on Saturday 24th September. The pallet of milk was presented to Elizabeth Thompson, President of Reach Out. ‘The donation which was bought through the registration of the darts competition participants was given to Reach Out, recognising what a significant social contribution the organisation makes to homeless people and their families in Torrevieja,’ explained Councillor Celdrán. Reach Out is a charitable organisation that caters for hundreds of homeless people. On average 40 people a day attend the centre to have breakfast and a mid-day meal. The

canteen is open from Monday to Saturday and serves a social as well as a nutritional function. There is also a Sunday lunch and people can use the facility to wash and clean themselves. Reach Out is situated in Calle Joven Pura, 8 and is alongside the charity’s shop. People can make donations to the shop and it provides a very cheap means for those struggling financially to clothe themselves and furnish their homes. Behind the shop there is a warehouse where they store products that are donated in bulk. The food bank includes a range of basic items that those in need can claim through a points system. Reach Out also supports some 30 families and works with other services to help ensure the families receive what assistance is available. The donation of milk, along with other support from volunteers and the local community, is much appreciated. Suzanne O’Connell

Spain slammed for being most corrupt country in the EU A report by the European Commission has labelled Spain as the most corrupt country in the EU. Brussels has been left unimpressed and is urging the country to do more to crackdown on bent politicians after it discovered Spain is the largest contributor to the €120 billion that the EU loses to corruption each year. It says Madrid is unable to control the councils and mayors in the autonomous regions, who have wide-ranging and discretionary powers over urban planning. The news comes as former mayor of Marbella, Angeles Munoz, is being probed after allegedly altering town planning rules to benefit her property-developing husband. The report points out how in 2011 alone there were 1,754 lawsuits related to the illegal use of land and urban planning. It is now asking Spain to improve the way it approaches its corruption problem, which it described as systemic. It added

that even the Transparency Act, which it had described as a step forward, lacks sufficient independent mechanisms capable of weeding out crooked politicians. It has now suggested each political party carry out and publish an independent annual audit in a bid to improve transparency. It also raised concerns over the lack of checks that are made on local administrations’ public spending. The nature of Spain as a highly decentralised state, it said, allows for the fervent corruption among regional authorities. Between 1996 and 2009, the report laments, there were more than 5,000 cases of corruption spanning over 600 municipalities. Spaniards are unlikely to be shocked by the news, however, with 95 percent perceiving corruption as a widespread problem and a part of their daily lives.

Homes & Gardens

With cooler weather coming over the next few months, don't let that deter you from enjoying your garden and outdoor living areas! An outdoor fire pit or chiminea (a pot-bellied, freestanding fireplace) can truly transform a patio or deck area into an open-air room - and one that is cozy and warm in all but the most wintery of weather conditions. What is nice about most fire pits and chimineas is that they are portable, something an outdoor fireplace is not. They are also easier to set up because they require no building permits or expensive, timeconsuming building of chimney stacks. Fire pits and chimineas can be put anywhere you already have your patio or deck area set up, or in a sheltered courtyard - basically anywhere you want to create a gathering spot. Another big plus is that they can fit into almost any landscape design seamlessly because they come in a variety of natural materials such as stone, tile, metal, and coloured concrete so they look very relaxed, and part of your existing landscape. They also come in a variety of shapes and designs, ranging from fire pit tables, to the more traditional rock fire pits on the ground. In addition, you can use whatever fuel is best for you to enjoy your fire

because fire pits can be fueled with natural gas, gel and bio ethanol, wood, or wood substitutes. In fact, here are some basic tips to help you get the most out of your chiminea or fire pit, including picking out the best fuel to burn:

Some basic outdoor fire pit and chiminea tips: • Make sure your fire pit is completely level and on stable ground. • Always place fire pits away from combustable materials in the landscape. • Burn dry, well-seasoned firewoood. • Usually hardwoods such as oak, madrone, maple, hickory and ash burn cleaner than softwoods such as fir, pine or cedar. • For smoke-free burning, they can be fueled with natural gas. • To reduce pollution and reduce the chance of sparks, choose wood substitutes such as wax-based logs or compressed logs made of sawdust. • Compressed logs can also be made from recycled coffee grounds, mixed with molasses and some wax, to burn cleaner, give off a taller and more natural flame, and have a slightly sweet scent rather than a

CostaBlancaPeople October 4th - 10th 2016

chemical smell. • Gel fueled fire pits are great for anywhere log fires are restricted such as apartment balconies. But they are also good to use for your deck, patio, porch, balcony, or gazebo because they are a no mess, no hassle way to have a fire. • Always observe fire ordinances and do not use your fire pit on no-burn or windy days. • Keep a fire extinguisher or garden hose nearby.

• Never leave a fire unattended. • Never overfill a fire pit or chiminea. So do not let the fact that the weather is cooling off keep you from enjoying your outdoor areas. Have a cook-out, roast marshmallows, sit around and tell “campfire stories”, or have a romantic evening - basically extend your summer a bit more throughout the year. Fire pits and chimineas are great for doing just that - so snuggle up and enjoy! Marc Vijverberg

WELCOME TO CHICAGO with Vivalia Travel Chicago is a huge vibrant city and sprawling metropolitan area. It is the home of the blues and the truth of jazz, the heart of comedy and the first builder of the skyscraper.

hicago is a huge vibrant city and sprawling metropolitan area. It is the home of the blues and the truth of jazz, the heart of comedy and the first builder of the skyscraper. Here, the age of railroads found its center, and airplanes followed. It is one of the world's great cities, and yet the metropolitan luxuries of theater, shopping, and fine dining have barely put a dent in real Midwestern friendliness. It's a city with a swagger, but without the surliness or even the fake smiles that can be found in other cities.

EVENTS, FESTIVALS AND THEATER You may be able to visit Chicago during a festival-less week. Most neighborhoods, parishes, and service groups host their own annual festivals throughout the spring, summer, and fall. And the city has several in the winter. There are a few can't-miss citywide events, though. In the Loop, Grant Park hosts Taste of Chicago in July, the largest outdoor food festival in the world; and there are four major music festivals: Blues Fest and Gospel Fest in June, Lollapalooza in August, and Jazz Fest in September. The Chicago-based music website Pitchfork Media also hosts their own annual three day festival of rock, rap, and more in the summer at Union Park on the Near West Side. On the other hand, most of the prestige theaters, including the Broadway in Chicago outlets, are located in the Loop or the Near North. Shows destined for

Broadway like The Producers often make their debut here. One theater to see, regardless of the production, is The Auditorium in the Loop. It's a masterpiece of architecture and of performance space.

SHOPPING AND RESTAURANTS The most famous shopping street in Chicago is a stretch of Michigan Avenue known as The Magnificent Mile, in the Near North area. It includes many designer boutiques, and several multi-story malls anchored by large department stores like 900 N Michigan and Water Tower Place. However, for a more unique shopping experience, check out the fun, eclectic stores in Lincoln Square, or the cutting-edge shops in Bucktown and Wicker Park, which is also the place to go for music fiends. Southport in Lakeview and Armitage in Lincoln Park also have browserfriendly fashion boutiques. In addition, Chicago is one of the great restaurant towns in America. If you're looking for a specific kind of cuisine, check out the neighborhoods. Greektown, the Devon Ave Indian corridor, Chinatown, and Chatham's soul food and barbecue are just the tip of the iceberg. Other areas are more eclectic: Lincoln Square and Albany Park have unrivaled Middle Eastern, German, and Korean food, while Uptown offers nearly the whole Southeast Asian continent with Ghanaian, Nigerian, contemporary American, stylish

Japanese, and down-home Swedish a few blocks away. Chicago's most prominent contribution to world cuisine might be the deep dish pizza. To make a deep dish pizza, a thin layer of dough is laid into a deep round pan and pulled up the sides, and then meats and vegetables â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Italian sausage, onions, bell peppers, mozzarella cheese, and more â&#x20AC;&#x201D; are lined on the crust. At last, tomato sauce goes on top, and the pizza is baked. It's gooey, messy, not recommended by doctors, and delicious.

MUSEUMS AND ARCHITECTURE Chicago's set of museums and cultural institutions are among the best in the World. Museum Campus located three important museums: the Adler Planetarium, with all sorts of cool hands-on space exhibits and astronomy shows; the Field Museum of Natural History, which features SUE, the giant Tyrannosaurus Rex skeleton, and a plethora of Egyptian treasures; and the Shedd Aquarium, with dolphins, whales, sharks, and the best collection of marine life east of California. From the sternly classical to the space-age, from the Gothic to the coolly modern, Chicago is a place with an embarrassment of architectural riches.Today, Chicago boasts three out of America's five tallest buildings: the Sears Tower (1st), the Trump Tower (2nd), and the Aon Center (5th).

‘You Can’t Be Serious’ is a weekly tongue in cheek look at the world through Bernie Comaskey’s eyes. With kind permission of the Westmeath Examiner. bernie.comaskey@gmail.com

How to Be Perfectly Miserable In the past, this column has set out to help people become, happy, positive, healthy, rich and slim. All very worthy causes, indeed and this newspaper is now read by mostly happy people as aresult; but there is a group of people out there, whom nobody bothers to cater for and it is time that somebody gave a few tips to those who wish to be miserable. Once again I am the man to fill the breach. The following is my blue-print for those who choose to be miserable and more importantly, have no wish to be cured. Let’s start with the question you will be asked several times to-day; ‘how are you?’ Never admit to being well and do make the other person feel bad about you, if you can. If there is something you would like to do for yourself – and only for yourself, mind you, you can rise to being ‘not too bad’, ‘just middling’, but don’t be ‘good enough’ unless someone can make it worth your while. When you get out of bed in the morning, start the day as you intend to continue, by thinking about yourself. As often as you can during the day, talk about yourself and use “I” at every opportunity. Mirror yourself continually in the opinion of others and seek greedily to find out what they are saying about you. Expect to be appreciated by all of these people and feel free to sulk. Be suspicious: For example, you know that all that shower running the GAA are only in it for what they can get out of it and

that Westmeath are further away from winning anything than ever before. The same gang of crooks will get re-elected to government – and even if they don’t … sure aren’t they ‘all the same anyway? You’d live in Spain only for the prices there are now as bad as at home – and the country is full of foreigners.. The world dealt you a lousy hand and you have every right to be jealous and envious. Any successful person is either a ‘hungry hoor’, ‘steeped in luck’, or ‘pulled some stroke somewhere.’ Always have your list of reasons why it didn’t work for you ready and name and shame those who screwed you up. Don’t let anyone suggest failure was any part your fault and be very, very sensitive to slights. If somebody does manage to land a criticism on you, never forgive them. Trust is something you know a thing or two about, so you have learned to trust nobody but yourself. Never forget all the reasons why you arrived at this decision. Insist on consideration and respect. You didn’t get where you are today by letting these types walk on you. Demand agreement with your own views on everything. Sulk if necessary. Acquire a new sulk if people are not sufficiently grateful to you for favours shown them and never forget a service you may have rendered. Be on the lookout for a good time for yourself, at little or no cost to you. Always remember, it is well due to you and in fact,

barely what you deserve. Shirk any duties or responsibilities you can. Let someone else do it for a change. Likewise, do nothing for anyone, because you never get a bit of thanks for it. If you are in love with anyone, make sure it is yourself – the only person worthy of it. Better still, go for it and love yourself supremely. In this day and age, you have to be selfish, or be taken advantage of, so don’t even hide trying to be more selfish. Have your own list of conversation topics ready and don’t allow anyone else to say much. Start every sentence with either; ‘I think’, or ‘I feel’, or better still ‘I know’. ‘I think that what this country needs is a good dictator’ (and who could do that job better than yourself?) ‘I feel you would still be able to buy a house for £3,000 (now there was real money) if they hadn’t railroaded us into the EEC’. ‘I know religion is all a cod and if there was a God, the world couldn’t be in the mess that it is.’ Now, you have more than enough tips here to keep you going. Practice makes perfect – especially in the art of being miserable. Cut out this column and keep it as a reference, if you can – but you know well that someone is going to dump it, or burn it, or just lose it on you. Now sod off with yourself – you miserable git!

Small minds are the first to criticise large ideas.

Renovation for Plaza de Toros

The Mayor of Orihuela, Emilio Bascuñana, and the Councillor for Town Planning, Begoña Cuartero, have presented the re-modelling project for the City of Orihuela Bullring, which aims to transform the building into a multi-purpose space. The Mayor explained that the decision of how to use the space was a difficult one. Past projects were analysed, the needs of the local community and an understanding of where the arena is located all played a key part. The Mayor said: “This is a project will be a solution to all identified needs. The City Council will develop the Plaza de Toros to provide an outdoor space to house shows and performances. It will also

feature landscaped green areas and lighting that will highlight the dimension of the structure. This project will not tear down the square, but embrace and use it, creating a multipurpose space that can be used for social and cultural activities to bring enjoyment to neighbours and all oriolanos.” The proposal presented also includes additional elements such as public toilets, a cafe and space that could be used as an exhibition hall. Meanwhile, Councillor Begona Cuartero insisted that following a report by Historical Heritage the design seeks to ‘maintain much of the structure for its great architectural value, as well as other important elements such

as a blacksmithing and stalls’. The Councillor for Planning also highlighted the fact that the development ‘is a realistic economic project’ which ‘opens many possibilities’ for use. The new project, designed by architect Rafael Legido, will cost 403,564 euros, to which must be added a further 3,000 euros for adaptation, since in the search for optimisation of resources, the same company had been commissioned to create proposals in 2012 and 2013. The project will be financed from current budgets with the additional costs coming from the 2008 budget. The work should take approximately six to seven months to complete on the 7.500 m2 plot.

Gin and tapas The Councillor for Tourism, Sofia Alvarez, has launched the municipalities fourth Gin and Tapas competition, which this year is entitled “Orihuela history of the Mediterranean”. The event will be held from 28th October until 1st November and aims to attract potential customers from the surrounding areas and consolidate Orihuela’s gastronomic position in the tourism sector. The councillor explained that the government team wants Orihuela to become a meeting point for lovers of traditional cuisine and to establish the city a gastronomic focal point. In order to make the event as accessible as possible, this year the Gin and Tapas route will feature ‘Rutappa’ an app, where all information will be accessible to all tourists and

www.costablancapeople.com

visitors at the touch of a button. The contest, which is open to all catering establishments located in the municipality of Orihuela, is also available on the website of the Department of Tourism: www.orihuelaturistica.es Bars, cafes and restaurants wishing to register must submitted an application to the Municipal Register of the City, located in the Prop Building and the registration period is now open until 6th October. The Councillor for Tourism in Orihuela encouraged all establishments “to participate in this fourth edition” saying “will showcase their best dishes in these gastronomic days that are now a key event in our calendar.” Participants will compete for five categories of award: Top Gourmet, Traditional Tapa, Sweet Tapa, Special Award by Voters on Social Networks for tapas and the establishment with the most votes on social networks for gin and tonic.

Presentations and performances The members of Campoverde Theatre Group were delighted to eventually present a cheque of more than 700 Euros to the Help the Hero’s Charity recently. This was the second charity donation from the group’s last production entitled, “Somme” Memories of a Century which raised money for The Royal British Legion in addition to Help for Hero’s. The success of this show has encouraged the group to present another Supper show at the Phoenix Nights Bar and it is now busy rehearsing for its next production, called ‘Gone But Not Forgotten; Memories of the Stars’, to again be staged at the Phoenix Nights Bar, San Miguel de Salinas. This production will pay homage to some of the great stars that have died during 2016. This year has witnessed the death of so many well loved stars of stage, television and the world of popular music and it is the work of a few of these well loved personalities that will be presented by Campoverde Theatre Group during an evening of song, dance and some very funny sketches. The dates for your diary are Thursday 13th, Friday

14th, Saturday 15th and Sunday 16th October. This show promises to be a great evening of entertainment and the evening promises to show a very affectionate look at stars who will continue to live on in our memories. Tickets cost just 10€ and the price includes a one course meal. These are available from the Ticket Line: ctgticketline@gmail.com or by telephoning 629 258 697. You can also purchase tickets directly from The Book Shop, San Miguel or why not drop into the Community Centre, Blue Lagoon (Monday and Wednesday 2-4 pm).

When is it time to Sagrada Familia grows to be Barcelona’s tallest reduce your building asking price?? Rebecca Serwotka – Your favourite local property expert, of Inmobiliaria Real Estate Agents in Ciudad Quesada. If you’ve had your home on the market for quite some time, and still you’re waiting for that elusive offer, you need to

seriously think objectively about why you believe you’re still not sold. Some people price their homes based on pure emotion, and find it very hard to break free from the potential monetary loss. Comparing what they paid for the property originally, together with the tidy sum invested in renovating can make their price inflated, compared to the current market value. As a seller, you need to focus on the importance of the here and now and not on what has happened in the past. This is not a time to dwell on would ‘a, could ‘a, should ‘a! So sometimes you need to bite the bullet, cut your losses, and weigh up the reasons why you’re on the market in the first place. If you really need or want to move, you MUST price your home accordingly. Buyers aren’t stupid! They will know exactly what they can get for their money, and just because you may have the most beautiful home on the block, doesn’t mean you can ask over general market value. You’ve probably experienced quite a few potential buyers being brought to your home, but ask yourself, how many offers have you even had? If your answer is none, then this is a red flag of truth, waving its ugly head in front of you. The only way you’re going to get rid of that flag is to sort your price out PRONTO! I’m always talking about prices in my blog, but everything comes down to money. If you’ve not spoken

with a professional Real Estate Agent about fixing your perfect price, then go and have a chat with them. If they’re allowing you to put your own price on, based on your feelings, and not the current market value, then they’re not doing you any favours. Who wants to keep being on call for any potential viewing appointments, then when the buyers do come around, they tell you what a wonderful home you have… leave, and never seen again. It’s not that they didn’t like your house, they probably did, but they’re running away faster than being chased by the bulls throughthe streets in Pamplona, because you scared them away… with your price! If you’re not up to pricing your property correctly then maybe you shouldn’t be on the market. If you make the mistake of pricing the property based on what you want to buy, you need to remember, in the property market, there are losses, but there are gains too! Think logically, and if you feel now is the time to lower your price, think about the offer you’ll be putting in on your next purchase. Sometimes you won’t make as big a loss as you think, because you’ll gain it right back with your purchase! The property market is always about logic. Think about it logically as a seller, and put yourself in a buyer’s shoes… Would you pay too much? Think property? Think us, because life’s complicated enough! See our advert in the centre pages of this newspaper.www.homes4u.es

The Sagrada Família will be Barcelona's tallest building by 2020, outstripping the Hotel Arts and Mapfre Tower. The iconic and ultra-modern cathedral will be Barcelona’s tallest building when it reaches its maximum height in accordance with the original plans. Designed by flamboyant architect Antoni Gaudí, who left his colourful stamp all over the Parc Güell in his native city, the Sagrada Família – arguably his most famous work – remains unfinished 90 years after his sudden death. Around 70 percent of the structure is complete, and next month, work will start on the six central towers in the Basilica. Within four years, the highest tower will be finished complete, measuring 172.5 metres (560 feet eight inches) and making it the tallest feature on the Barcelona city skyline. It will overtake the metropolitan area's current highest buildings, the Hotel Arts and the Mapfre Tower which houses the head offices of the insurance company of the same name. Both of these measure 154 metres (500 feet and six inches) and will appear

miniature next to the splendid cathedral, which draws in tourists from all over the world every day and takes over an hour's queueing to enter. As long as the cost of the works remain the same and funds are still available for the €25-million-a-year budget, the Sagrada Família will be finished in the year 2026, on the centenary of when Gaudí was killed crossing the road in front of his own cathedral after he was hit by a bus. Although it will be Barcelona's tallest building, the Sagrada Família will not be the city's highest feature – it will still sit below the Montjuïc mountain, now home to the Olympic

stadium and reached by cable car. This was deliberate on Gaudí's part, as he believed that ‘the work of man’ should never be higher in stature than ‘the work of God’. The cost of entering the Sagrada Família is surprisingly low considering how it is Barcelona's answer to the Eiffel Tower, the Colisseum, the Statue of Liberty or the Sydney Opera House in terms of its international attraction and fame. However, despite the low cost, the 30,000 free tickets issued recently to visit the cathedral in honour of the patron saint this weekend were snatched up in just 40 minutes after the box office opened last week.

Coffee morning in aid of the AECC at Plaza Diferente Due to unforeseen circumstances the original venue for the coffee morning had to be changed just a few days before the event and Plaza Diferente, Benimar certainly stepped up to the plate. Everyone was suitably impressed with their wonderful array of pastries, cakes, sandwiches and desserts beautifully presented. Debbie Weedon representing Maria and the pink ladies was there to organise a raffle and together with the donation from the coffee morning raised €310. Debbie's husband Ralph made up a super hamper for the raffle plus there were donations

tv PICK The Forgotten Children ITV - 10pm

Documentary telling the stories of refugee orphans. Around 88,000 refugee children are now stranded in Europe. Many have faced violence and police brutality, and hundreds have been imprisoned in detention centres and police cells. Alone and afraid, the children are vulnerable to trafficking gangs and sexual exploitation. Governments have moved many of them into state-run camps and closed the doors to journalists. This film meets seven children who have lost parents on the way to Europe, including 12-year-old Nagham and her 13-year-old brother Mohamed, orphans from the Syrian city of Aleppo. Having fled a government-run camp after violence erupted, they now live a small tent in a derelict petrol station in northern Greece. Elsewhere, the programme follows the story of a 15-year-old Syrian boy who is imprisoned with adults in Greece and who says that he has been denied medical care for shotgun wounds.

Walking Through Time - Channel 4 - 9.00pm Palaeontologist Dr Tori Herridge explores exciting subjects from Britain's history. The Jurassic Coast of Devon and Dorset is one of Britain's great natural treasures and a World Heritage Site, but how did it come to be? Tori walks from the 150-million-year-old cliffs of Kimmeridge at its eastern end, back through time to the even older red cliffs of Budleigh Salterton, to reveal why the Jurassic Coast is stuffed to the gills with world-class fossils. Along the way she encounters the biggest sea predator ever to have lived and a global disaster that nearly destroyed life on our planet.

KARMA "HOW PEOPLE TREAT YOU IS THEIR KARMA, HOW YOU REACT IS YOURS" - WAYNE DYER.

arma - Now that is a word that has mixed connotations... I hear it so often, sometimes in the right context, but mostly in a very negative way. Believe it or not, I have also heard it as a threat... This is NOT the meaning of Karma. So where did it all begin? The word Karma was originated from the Sanskrit word meaning 'Action'. It first appeared in the oldest Hindu text, the 'Rigveda' which goes as far back as before c.1500BCE. Karma includes both action and intent. All well wishes to others - holding loving intent are reciprocated in kind from the Universe. For example, good actions such as charity work, sharing uplifting thoughts with others, or being of service to those in need, are rewarded. Think of it as 'what you put out, you get back' and as such, it is often called 'The law of the circle'. This is because whatever we do, whether good or bad, returns full circle to our doorstep so that our soul can learn life lessons and gain self-mastery. According to Buddhism, Karma can be the result of our own past actions as well as our present doings. We are responsible for our own lives, the path we take, and how we deal with challenges along the way. In other words, only we ourselves are responsible for our own happiness or, misery. We create our own destiny by our actions. We are the architects of our own fate. However, many believe that Karma is 'brought

forward' from past lives. Lessons that we didn't learn in a past life are yet to be experienced in this lifetime and will result in our future lives. In the modern world, the word Karma is used frequently and it's not always for the highest good of others. If someone has hurt you, it is quite alright to believe that their actions will have a karmic effect if you give this up to the Universe. You can ask that the worry and hurt is taken away as you leave the past where it belongs, in the past. However, if you are constantly holding onto the past, and you are sending negative thoughts or worse, sending threats (including Karma) to that person, then the only person that will be reaping what they sow, is you, and not in a good way. You have heard the saying "One good deed deserves another". But... it doesn't mean that when you do a good deed for someone you expect something in return. Karma is when you do a good turn for a cause or person, because you want to help in some way. If you continue to send positivity out to others, then Karma will reward you in some way. Social Media such as Facebook is good if used in the right way, but time and time again I have read messages from people who are supposed to be friends, falling out, usually over something trivial but instead of sitting down and talking to each other about it, they are threatening that 'Karma will come and get you" - or, words to that

effect. Another that is doing the rounds is "I hope Karma slaps you in the face before I do". Not nice, is it? Without realising, the person who threatens this is in fact, creating so much negativity in their own life.

If you do good for others, this will create positive karma in the future. It really is about the law of action and reaction. "Happiness is not something readymade. It comes from your own actions". The Dalai Lama XIV.

Brit arrested in Alicante over historic sexual abuse case Spanish police have arrested a British man wanted by UK authorities in a historic sexual abuse case against a minor. The man was arrested recently in Alicante, some 20 years after the case was reported. Authorities said that the man had befriended the victimâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father in order to get close to the minor, who he then repeatedly abused at is home between

October 1994 and the spring of 1995. He is also alleged to have abused another boy, a friend of the victim, during the same period. He lured him to his house with promises of alcohol and tobacco, officials say. The suspect has been charged with eight counts of abuse against a 16-yearold minor. He faces a 10-year-sentence if found guilty.

Spain's wetlands drying out, WWF warns It's one of Europe's most important wetland reserves, a World Heritage site full of lagoons, woodlands, pristine beaches and dunes, home to more than 4,000 species including the endangered Iberian lynx. But the WWF has warned that the Donana wetlands on Spain's southern coast, which also act as a crucial refuge for Europe's Africa-bound migratory birds, now only receive a fifth of the water they need, in part due to illegal farming. In a report, the environmental group added that the site faces further damage with nearby mining, gas and dredging activities that could potentially see UNESCO put it on its endangered list next year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you start piling all sorts of problems and threats onto an ecosystem, it may be that you wake up one day and the site is no longer what it was, and that's what is happening with Donana,â&#x20AC;? Juan Carlos del Olmo, head of WWF Spain, told Spanish news agency AFP. The DoĂąana wetland complex in the region of Andalusia spans more than 100,000 hectares (250,000 acres), an area bigger than Singapore. However only part of the complex has the ultraprotected World Heritage and national park status, and the rest is a natural reserve where activities such as sustainable agriculture are allowed. A portion of the reserve and the area outside produces 70 percent of all strawberries grown in Spain, and many depend on this for their livelihoods, according to the WWF.

But the environmental group says 1,000 illegal wells and 3,000 hectares of illicit farms have also sprung up over the years. This, coupled with river modifications to improve navigation and agriculture, has made Donona very thirsty. Other problems include the planned dredging of the Guadalquivir river to make it deeper and allow cargo and cruise ships to get to the port of Sevilla further upstream. The project, which environmentalists fear will disturb the river's ecosystem and attract more salt water into the wetlands, was halted by Spain's Supreme Court but del Olmo says the government has yet to cancel it. Adding to this, utility company Gas Natural Fenosa has been given permission to use depleted natural gas

reservoirs in the area as underground storage sites for later consumption, which will involve the building of yet more pipelines in a fragile area. In its report, the WWF called for a number of measures to be taken, urging for instance the government to cancel the planned dredging of the Guadalquivir river and to close illegal farming fields. Spain's environment ministry responded that every project was submitted to a "rigorous" impact assessment, and pointed to the wetlands' inclusion in the International Union for the Conservation of Nature's green list, which recognises good management of natural areas. It added that it was working towards "resolving the problem of the lack of water".

America baffled by Spain’s lack of government The lack of a government in Spain is puzzling many people in the United States and Latin America, given the ongoing political stalemate, which has lasted nine months already, combined with a steadily improving economy. Some pundits say that the country that astounded the world with its peaceful transition to democracy in the late 1970s has lost its way. In conversations with Spanish newspapers, politicians, writers and intellectuals on the other side of the Atlantic express surprise at the fact that a nation that has enjoyed smooth handovers of government under its two-party system over the last three decades has come to a grinding halt in the new multi-party scenario. However, the political paralysis does not appear to be affecting bilateral relations between governments. Economic relations in particular are strong, say the business communities in Argentina and Brazil, two nations where Spanish companies have a major presence. In the United States, the situation in Spain is viewed as a domestic issue that does not affect the rest of the world the way the economic crisis did. “Spain is an important ally and NATO friend, and we will continue to work together on our shared priorities,” said US State Department spokesperson Nicole Thomson. I don’t think the Spanish system is going to collapse, but it’s not working well,” noted the US historian and expert

on Spain Stanley G. Payne. But Mexican analysts offered a more candid view. “I am worried and disconcerted by Spain. It’s a pity that with four [political] forces, even if they have less individual clout, they are unable to find a combination that will provide a sufficient majority,” said former foreign minister Jorge G. Castañeda. “Spain represented a model of collective political intelligence, but now

that intelligence is marked by fragmentation and infighting. It is up to its politicians to resolve it,” noted Mexican writer Héctor Aguilar Camín. “If the Spanish parliamentary system is no good at building governing majorities, then what is it good for?” In Argentina, where Spain is the second-largest source of direct foreign investment, politicians and business leaders often ask Spanish reporters for clues as to what is going on in their country. The stalemate even provides fodder for jokes: asked about controversial issues in Argentinean politics, more than one minister has

replied along the lines of “You form a government first, and then we’ll talk.” Hindrance But Agriculture Minister Ricardo Buryaile noted that the lack of government is having an effect on EUMercosur negotiations, “because Spain is one of the countries accompanying us to try to push the agreement through. Talks are underway, and it’s going to be hard making decisions while countries like Spain are in a difficult political situation.” If Spain is going through a delicate political situation, Brazil is caught up in a full-fledged storm following the impeachment of Dilma Rousseff and swearing-in of Michel Temer as the new president. “The situation is not ideal,” admitted Spanish Trade Secretary Jaime García-Legaz, who wants to encourage more Brazilian investment in Spain. “Under normal conditions, there would be more visits by the King of Spain and by the prime minister, but communications are still within reasonable levels.” Meanwhile, Colombians are so caught up in the run-up to the October 2 referendum to approve the peace process with the leftist armed FARC guerrilla that the situation in Spain barely registers at gatherings of politicians and intellectuals. Some say that Spain is clearly unable to come to terms with the end of the two-party system, and are even offering to give Spaniards a crash course in how to run a country with a broad spectrum of political parties.

Jail for Brit crime family who ran global drug operation from Spain A British family who were running a drug operation from Spain have been jailed by Birmingham Crown Court. Faye Maybury, 30, ran the online operation with her mother, cousin, brother and his best friend, who was a semi-professional football player. The family were disguising class A and B party drugs as sports supplements and sending them to thousands of customers around the world, including in Japan, Brazil and New Zealand. They were said to be making around €52,000 profit each month Adam Maybury, 28, ran the operation from his grand villa in Spain with the help of his family, including his mother Caroline Wakefield, 57. Sister Faye, 30, cousin Dean Russell, 27 and his school

friend and semi-professional footballer for Altrincham FC Thomas Marshall, 28, also helped. The group sold the drugs online, which included drugs that are legal in other European states - so-called legal highs. They were busted in 2014 when their packages were intercepted by border agencies. They have now been sentenced to a total of seventeen years and nine months at Birmingham Crown Court. Leader Adam Maybury received nine years and his mother Caroline was handed twelve months, suspended for 18 months. Cousin Russell received three years while footballer Marshall received two years and nine months.

Constant cravings Want to cut your food or drink ‘weakness’ out of your diet, but struggling to resist? Here’s a little help and advice on how to cure your toughest ‘naughty’ cravings. Caffeine Your thirst for coffee or other joltinducing beverages may have multiple causes: a formed habit, a lack of stamina, or even a gene variation. In 2012, researchers from University of North Caroline at Chapel Hill and six other institutions located two genes that may determine the way our bodies metabolise caffeine, as well as how much we consume and crave it. So if you're looking to decrease your intake of this stimulant, sip teas; black, green, or mate teas, which contain lower amounts of caffeine. Just keep in mind that going cold turkey can cause withdrawal symptoms, so you may want to cut back a little each day until you're where you want to be. Fast food It's probably no surprise at all, but PMS is a major cause of these salty, fattening food cravings. When it's that time of the month, swap take-out foods for made-athome versions to cut the calories and increase good nutrients. Sweet potato fries (either homemade or found in the frozen food aisle at the grocery store) give you that salty-sweet combo, for example. Also, researchers from Sweden have found that a spinach extract containing green leaf membranes called thylakoids may decrease ‘hedonic hunger’ - a term for craving the unhealthy stuff, including sweets and fast foods - up to 95 percent. So make like Popeye before your period to resist the drive-thru. Cheese Fancy a wine and cheese party? If you're already smiling at the mere mention, don’t worry it's not just you cultural and environmental cues can play a big part in food longings. A recent report states that Chinese citizens have an increased appetite for cheese, which was previously not a big part of their culinary culture. If the craving just won't quit, try a lighter version. Sometimes, you just want that salty, creamy flavour. To satisfy this need, sprink ‘real’ grated Parmesan over

sautéed veggies or add a dollop of plain Greek yoghurt over a bowl of fibre-filling chilli con carne. Comfort foods “In general, cravings are more closely linked to our emotions than our physiological needs," states Rachel Warren Meltzer, author of The Smart Girl's Guide to Going Vegetarian. When you're having a terrible day, you're going to reach for your go-to comfort food. Don't deprive yourself! It's typically better in the long run to have a small amount of the food you really want (ice cream) than eating a bunch of the ‘diet’ version – even Greek yoghurt – because you will satisfy the craving and will be less likely to over eat later. Carbs Carbohydrates are the body's number one source of fuel, so when we're tired, they're the first thing we want to grab. So if you find spaghetti or potatoes have been calling your name recently, you might want to rethink your usual bedtime. And when your body is caught up on rest, choose the healthier versions, including whole grains (like whole wheat pasta, quinoa or oatmeal), and the ‘carbheavy’ pasta, bread and potatoes. Salt Maybe you're someone who's into savoury flavours over sweet. There are other ways to get the full flavour you're seeking without going over your sodium limit. Try adding acidic ingredients, like vinegars, lemon and lime juice, in place of extra salt to dishes to help quell the need. Spices can also hit the spot as the strong flavours pack a punch on the taste buds.

You may also want to head to the gym, since a recent study found that aerobic activity can enhance a certain part of the brain (the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex or the DLPFC) connected to cravings women had for calorie-dense foods, such as crisps. Sweets Got a sweet tooth? A study

antioxidants in dark chocolate have many positive health properties. But chose your chocky fix with care; forego the low-quality versions (a.k.a. inexpensive milk chocolates) and instead opt for one to two squares of the dark kind with the highest amounts of cacao. Choose those that are around 85 percent. Experts also suggest either sipping a chocolate protein shake or a hot chocolate made from high-quality cacao. Going the luxury route is definitely the most fun and enjoyable way to deal with a craving. Small changes, big results When it comes to weight loss, slow and steady always wins the race. While complete diet makeovers can be

published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that both sugar and fat stimulate a pleasure region of the brain - but sugar has the greater effect, making it even more challenging a type food to resist. Cravings are linked to deprivation and the more people avoid or try to restrict these foods, the worse the cravings become. So you might want to just have the piece of chocolate instead of torturing yourself. Experts also suggest snacking on dried fruits, like mangos, prunes and nectarines at your desk. These take time to eat and their calorie counts aren't too high. Chocolate Chocolate is the most commonly craved food among women. And while it may sound too good to be true, this isn't such a bad thing after all. The

overwhelming, focusing on small simple changes makes healthy eating more manageable and sustainable over the long term. Instead of throwing your kitchen, eating habits, and sanity upside down, focus on making these simple food swaps. These swaps will save you calories and help you slim down. Breakfast • swap whole milk for semi-skimmed, 1 percent fat or even skimmed milk • swap a sugar-coated breakfast cereal for a wholegrain breakfast cereal such as porridge or shredded wholegrain wheat cereal with no added sugar – read about how to choose a healthy breakfast cereal • swap a sprinkle of sugar on your breakfast cereal for a topping of fresh or dried fruit, which counts towards one of your 5 A DAY • swap full-fat Greek yoghurt for lowerfat or fat-free greek yoghurt, or natural low-fat yoghurt

• swap you fried full cooked for a grilled version • swap the grilled version for eggs on toast or an omlette Lunch • swap white breads, bagels and muffins for wholegrain varieties • swap butter and cheese in your baked potato for reduced-fat spread and reduced salt and sugar baked beans or cottage cheese or tuna • swap a tuna melt panini for a tuna salad sandwich on wholemeal bread without mayo • swap a cheddar cheese filling in your sandwich for reduced-fat hard cheese Dinner • swap creamy or cheesy sauces for tomato or vegetable-based sauces on your pasta, meat or fish dishes or make the sauces with low fat quark, crème fraiche • swap mashed potato made with butter and whole milk for mash with lowfat spread and a lower-fat milk, such as semi-skimmed, 1 percent fat or skimmed. Add low fat spread cheese to add flavour. • choose leaner cuts of meat – for example, swap streaky bacon for back bacon • swap the frying pan for the grill when cooking all meats. Drinks • swap a coffee made with whole milk to a ‘skinny’ coffee made with semiskimmed or skimmed milk • swap a cordial for a cordial with no added sugar • swap a few of your sugary drinks for a glass of water • swap a cola or fizzy drink with some 100 percent fruit juice (with no added sugar) mixed with soda water • swap hot chocolate made with whole milk and served with whipped cream for a hot chocolate made with skimmed milk and no cream Snacks • swap a blueberry muffin for a currant bun on its own or with some reduced-fat spread • swap yoghurt-coated raisins for plain raisins • swap salted nuts for unsalted nuts • swap cheese straws for rice cakes with lower-fat cream cheese

Healthy place to live Spain is the seventh-healthiest country on earth, level with the UK and ahead of Australia and Canada. Making Spain’s inhabitants some of the healthiest on the planet, according to a research project titled Global Burden of Disease (GBD). Now published in the science magazine ‘The Lancet’, the report analyses how different countries have complied with, or otherwise, the United Nations’ health objectives which cover a vast range of areas from reducing infant and maternal mortality and controlling AIDS and tuberculosis through to cutting road crash deaths and alcohol and drug addiction. Each country studied was given a percentage, which in Spain's case was 82 percent - the same score as the UK, The Netherlands and Finland, some of the world's most developed countries. Andorra pips them all at the post at 83 percent, whilst the joint three 'winners' are Iceland, Sweden and Singapore with 85 percent. The last two places in the top 10 are occupied by Canada and Australia with 81 percent. At the opposite end of the scale, the majority of the worst-scoring countries were in Africa, with the exception of Afghanistan – bottom of the list were the Central African Republic (CAR), Somalia and South Sudan on 22 percent, followed by Niger on 23 percent, Chad and the Democratic Republic of the Congo on 24 percent, Burundi and Mali on 26 percent, the same as Afghanistan, and Sierra Leone on 27 percent. Threats to health studied clearly differ according to the developed nature of each country – United Nations reports place ‘diarrhoea’ as one of the top 10

causes of death in the world at present and expect it to still feature in the list by the year 2030 – but some of the greatest global health risks were very ‘western’ in nature, according to the research. Childhood obesity, alcohol abuse and person-to-person violence are the top three health threats in the world, whilst the main mitigating factors are a gradually-widening access to free or affordable medical care for everyone, reduction in mortality in the underfives, and access to family planning. For Spain, the worst scores were found in obesity, where UN objectives were only reached by 33 percent; smoking, at 47 percent; and HIV infection, at 49 percent - a growing problem again in the west now it is no longer a death sentence but usually just a ‘chronic condition’ requiring regular medication. Other areas which achieved a pass mark in Spain but have considerable room for improvement included alcohol abuse, with a score of 57 percent, and

suicide, scoring 69 percent. However, in the last few years, progress has been made in five areas worldwide – more and more doctors and nurses able to take part in labour and childbirth, greater access to antiretroviral treatment for HIV, more mosquito nets available to prevent malaria, and fewer people dying from drinking contaminated water, or breathing polluted air. In developed countries, a much faster drop in deaths from chronic conditions such as heart and circulatory disease, traffic accidents, and violence has been seen. Developing and even third-world countries have managed to reduce infant mortality and arrested childhood development caused by hunger. The Jiménez-Díaz Foundation Quirónsalud Group Hospital (HUFJD) took part in the study, partly led by the Carlos III Health Institute’s Renal Research Network coordinator, Alberto Ortiz Arduan.

Sexism row over bullet proof vests for female Guardia Civil The Guardia Civil has come under fire for failing to provide female staff with adequate bullet proof vests. A complaint has been made by a female member of staff who said that the jacket “doesn’t fit female bodies”. The woman, who is from the Salamanca province, was penalised for insubordination after buying her own bullet proof vest for €500. The United Association of Civil Guards has launched a campaign to rectify the situation. The women’s secretary for AUGC, Pilar Villacorta, said: “The jackets that we have to wear are men’s jackets that are too big for us and which don’t fit female bodies. Not only do they not fit snugly – therefore reducing the protection offered,” said Villacorta. “They also make it hard for female officers to reach their guns, handcuffs and telescopic batons.” The Guardia Civil has now responded saying that over the next three years 21,000 bullet proof jackets will be purchased with 2000 of them specially tailored for women.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Dear Editor I live in Spain for about 7 years. I enjoy the weather, the sea, the campo, the clean air etc. But what bothers me is the huge amount of trash everywhere. I just could not accept the sight of it. Instead of complaining about it I started to pick up waste, straws, bottles, all sorts of wrappings, cigarette butts and plastic bags. So I keep on picking up trash because we have to stop this waste going into sewers finally to end up in the sea. Fish will eat it, they’ll get sick and eventually stuffed with micro plastics. If we then eat the fish we will have come full circle. We will get sick. I want to show that it is normal to keep your road bankings and the environment clean. Isn’t it decadent that we put in place workforces to clean what we throw into the streets? It costs the government, and that means it costs us, a lot of money. We need those people to be doing other things to make the country more beautiful.

Let them work in the gardening department or deploy them where there is real need, helping the disabled, the homeless, the elderly who are dying from loneliness. Let’s not use money to support bad habits! By picking up trash we become more aware and we take more personal responsibility for our environment. I collect trash every day. It can easily stretch into one or two hours because it has become my passion. It feels like ‘runner’s high’. It is like a meditation. I like to go to sleep with the idea that the area is cleaner than it was in the morning. Is it possible to publish this in your weekly newspaper? I wish I could mobilize more people. I don’t expect others to start picking up trash as well but I hope people will become aware of the problem and least don’t dump more waste. Friendly greetings Marleen Van Ende, the trash rider. Dear Editor We are delighted that the council

are starting to take the problem of feral cats seriously. We as a community started a Catch, Neuter and Release project ourselves back in May, and it has been a great success. We started off in Plaza Tolosa, Urb. San Luis, Torrevieja, now Casa Ventura, San Luis, and a residential group in El Chaparal are also doing their own program. We raise funds through table top sales, donations etc. and have fantastic members that give their time to trap and take the cats for their operations and take care of them afterwards, and of course the vets that do the operations at discounted prices for us. The cats themselves are so much healthier and happy, so much so that they write their own newsletters, to keep everyone updated. In San Luis our 45th cat went to the vets today, this means we have prevented the potential number of 200+ kittens being born since we started in May. Mairead Johnson Dear Editor Better late than never, I write to thank you. Yours is the only free paper in this area that I have seen, which has

seen fit to comment on the finale of the expat Winter Fuel Allowance fiasco. No big surprise there but I still cannot get my head around the fact that if I had chosen to retire to Sicily then I would still receive it. Would it be over cynical of me to think that has something to do with the number of politicians who have second homes in Tuscany etc. - maybe ready for their own retirement? Thank you again for your reporting of this issue. Nell, Orihuela Costa. Hello Mireille, I hope you're well. I'm writing to commend you on your wonderful article this week on Ciprofloxacin and related family of drugs. I have seen in our clinic dozens of people whose lives have been ruined by Cipro. And I've also written about the dangers in our monthly magazine. Thank you so much for raising the awareness. Warm Regards Machi - Machi Mannu MD MedB Diagnostics www.medb.es

Adapt English project is huge success Six years ago the ADAPT Association of San Pedro was approached with an idea for a new scheme whereby volunteers would help teach English in local schools in the San Pedro area. As always, ADAPT rose to the challenge and several members came forward to give up a few hours of their time each week to help alongside the school teachers. In the beginning volunteers only assisted during Summer School and taught the children with English nursery rhymes and played English board games with them. The project has gone from strengthto-strength and now ADAPT has a total of 17 volunteer members in five San Pedro and Lo Pagan Schools. These are: Los Pinos, Las Esperanzas, Maspalomas, Nuestra SeĂąora del Carmen and Villa Alegria. Eithne Lawler and Nicky Kehoe, were co-ordinators for the School Monitor Project for six years and have worked tirelessly and thoroughly enjoyed the task but now , due to re-location and work commitments, they have stepped down. The President of ADAPT, Janet Pierce, recently presented bouquets to Eithne and Nicky to thank them for their dedication and members welcomed Carol Beech as the new co-ordinator of the ADAPT School Monitor Project.

Toenail Fungus

This unsightly condition affects about 3 million people each year yet it is notoriously difficult to treat. The medical profession know this condition well but so far haven’t found the magic bullet to cure it as there are many different strains of the fungus. It seems that a Japanese Dr. Ishiguro has in fact developed a holistic approach and written a programme called the Japanese Toenail Fungus Code….no I’m not kidding this is really true. The code has several steps as follows... Step 1 Cleaning the nails… cleaning nails properly and regularly can help enormously. Not many of us actually do this. Step 2 Preventing Fungal infection… we can prevent the fungus in several ways and this includes

taking precautions in places such as gyms and swimming pools. Step 3 Strengthening the Immune System by using certain foods. With a stronger immune system our bodies are better equipped to fight fungi. Step 4 Freebies... these include guidebooks on foods and special fitness moves that you can adopt to achieve a stronger body and stronger health. Fungi, viruses and bacteria attack weakened bodies and this is the underlying cause of many of our modern illnesses. Using a holistic approach we are looking at treating the whole body not just the affected area. If you want to know more about treating this condition, simply put Japanese Toenail Fungus Code into your Google search engine and you will find the information which is available as an e book.

Liam via email asks: Dear Aunty, please can you recommend what free Security Software I need to install on my new Windows 10 Lenovo Laptop as there are so many of them to choose from? I use my laptop for banking, emails and browsing the internet. Aunty Says: Hi Liam I still highly recommend SuperAntiSpyware and/or Malwarebytes and use the built in Windows Defender that comes preinstalled with Window 8 and 10.

David via email asks: Hola Aunty, I have a problem with my tablet. When I try to open emails & some personal sites it informs me it cannot establish a secure connection, which is ok, but it doesn't give me the option of allowing access. I've tried searching for a solution, but all answers seem to concern locking rather than allowing. Hope you can help with this problem as you have in the past. Thanks in anticipation. Aunty says: Hi David. I’ve seen this error message and after

days puzzling over it for a long while it turned out to be something as simple as the time and date settings being wrong. The secure connection you are trying to make to these particular web pages checks for something called a “security certificate” but if the date or time on your device is too far out then your browser (Safari, Chrome or Firefox etc.) will refuse the website. James via email asks: Hello Aunty, I have a 3 year old Acer laptop that I upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10 (big mistake) and now when I connect to my TV via the HDMI cable the screen on the laptop shrinks to about half and the TV picture is a small square in the centre of the screen. Also the sound only comes from the laptop and not on the TV. Everything worked fine with Windows 7 so I know it’s not the TV or the HDMI cable. Aunty Says: This could well be a driver problem James so go to the Acer website and follow the link to the support section where you can enter the model of your laptop and download the latest Win 10 drivers for your graphics card. Once installed connect everything up and run the “wizard” that should auto detect everything and help set things up. Glen via email asks: Hi Aunty I have an minor but annoying problem. When I try to open a PDF attachment (which is an email factura from Agamed) a popup window appears saying to “choose the program you want to use to open this file” I always choose Adobe Acrobat and everything is fine but how do I stop this asking me every time? Aunty Says: Hello Glen. When the popup window appears there should also be a small box you can tick to ‘always use the selected program’ which will permanently set Windows to automatically use Adobe to open any PDF files. You can also do this to control which app opens for pictures, films and music files. Any questions, you can email me at: auntyvirus@costablancapeople.com and hopefully see you all next week.

Russian hackers' smear campaign Rafael Nadal has said he has ‘nothing to hide’ after his medical records were the latest to be leaked by the cyber-hacking group ‘Fancy Bears’. Nadal was among more than 60 international athletes, including Mo Farah and Justin Rose, who have had their medical files published online by the group who have hacked into World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) records. There is no suggestion that any of the named athletes among them some of the biggest names in sport - have done anything wrong as the leaks reveal mostly therapeutic use exemptions (TUEs) which can be issued to athletes who have an illness or condition that requires the use of normally prohibited medication. Spanish tennis ace Nadal and four-time Olympic champion distance runner Farah were shown to have used TUEs in the past to gain permission to take substances that figure on WADA’s banned list. “When you ask permission to take something for therapeutic reasons and they give it to you, you’re not taking anything prohibited,” Nadal, a 14-time Grand Slam winner, told Spanish

media. “This is not news,” he continued. “It's just an attempt to stir up trouble”. Nadal, who has twice been granted a TUE, said he had never taken anything to improve his performance but took what doctors advised him was the best medication to care for his troublesome knee. Far from complaining about the leak of his files, Nadal said he would support the publishing of all medical records. “It would be much more beneficial for sportsmen and women, spectators and media that every time a drug test is taken the news is made public and two weeks later there are the results,” he added. “This would end the problem. Sport has to take a step forward and be totally transparent. I have been saying this for years.” Nadal and Farah were among 26 athletes in the fourth batch to have their medical history published by Fancy Bears, following the likes of Serena and Venus Williams, American gymnast Simone Biles and British Tour de France-winning cyclists Bradley Wiggins and Chris Froome. Outed Champion Spanish swimmer

Mireia Belmonte was also targeted in an attempt by the Russian hackers to ‘out doping’ after their country was banned from the Olympics. After the USA's Simone Biles was ‘outed’ for nothing worse than taking medication for her ADHD – medication which is permitted in the Olympic ‘substance’ list – three-times games medallist Mireia, 23, has been ‘exposed’ for taking asthma drugs. The swimmer from Badalona, Barcelona province, who won a silver in London 2012 and a gold and a bronze in Rio 2016, takes Salbutamol, a bronchio-dilator via inhaler for chronic asthma. Russia was banned from the Olympics this year after a State doping system was uncovered and a series of sportspersons had their previous medals stripped from them. Doping investigations involving Russian and Chinese female weight-lifters have recently earned Spain's Lydia Valentín a silver and a gold from London 2012 and Peking 2008 after her fourth and fifth places were upgraded through her opponents being disqualified.

Passenger injured AP7 coach crash dies in hospital

HISTORIC REFERENDUM

One of the 12 passengers injured in the AP-7 bus crash near Benicàssim has died in intensive care from his injuries. The man was air-lifted to Castellón General Hospital and another man with very serious injuries, but who was not said to be critical, followed later by ambulance. Two others were in the Castellón General and the Castellón Provincial Hospital with multiple cuts and bruises, but were expected to be discharged soon. Eight passengers were treated for minor injuries and discharged the same day, whilst 24 escaped unhurt. The coach was transporting a group of Chinese nationals to Valencia airport when it collided with a lorry carrying crates of beer at kilometre 418.5 on the coastal toll motorway as it passed the Mediterranean holiday town of Benicassim. The cause of the crash is not known, but the coach veered off the highway and down a steep grass verge. Emergency services had to shut off the motorway in a southbound direction for several hours.

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.

any thanks to those who came to the riotous Peter Kay Tribute show. I think all of our jaws were aching from laughing so much. Not only did the audience have many belly laughs during the evening but were also kind enough to help raise 200 Euros for Age Concern. As any of the charities will tell you they are grateful for every cent that comes their way because without the support of the public they would not be able to carry out their many and varied good works. On Thursday a whole host of acts will be appearing at Camping Marjal in Catral to raise money for Debra charity. Also known as the Butterfly Childrens Charity, they help children whose “skin doesn’t work”. Acts who will be donating their time and talents will include Stevie Spit, Kylie Burgazzi and very talented flamenco dancer Jay Markwick to name but a few. There are also lots of lovely stalls including Debra’s own. Friday sees talented quick change tribute vocalist Paula B at The Black Bull in San Miguel. Paula has everyone from Cher to Tammy Wynette, Shirley Bassey to Tina Turner in her box of tricks. Not only is this lass from the Northeast creative with her costumes but she is a talented singer to boot. Pop along and see her from 8pm. La Marina has a treat in store for them at Plaza 39 on the main strip as Rob Sweeney makes his debut there. Rob recently made the move from Orba with his family and is now starting to show us in the Southern Costa Blanca why he fronted party band Strikland for the past couple of years. Rob has a buble tone to his voice but not only does do Buble songs but can do anything from 60’s up to and including what he calls “cheesy 70’s songs” and beyond. Rob will also be at La Bodegueta in Lo Crispin on Saturday and then on Sunday afternoon the people of Murcia get the chance to experience his superb voice at New Yorks bar.

This week all three of our games were devoted to finding our Stableford Week Champion with the score for each round added together with the top scorer taking the trophy. We also had our normal 2's Club in operation on each day of the competition. It was Tom Hardie who took the early initiative on Monday taking top spot with an excellent score of 38 pts. The day’s top four each receiving prizes on the day were as follows: 1st Tom Hardie 38 pts 2nd Mike Chapman 36 pts 3rd Dave Pulling 34 pts 4th Bryan Neal 33 pts 2's Club: Tom Hardie, Friedel Knebel and Brian Dent On Wednesday it was Mike Chapman who took the overall lead following up Monday's level par round with another 36 pts and edging out Liz Robertson on a count back to take first prize on the day.

day to take the contents of the 2's Club. 1st Mike Chapman 36 pts (c/b) 2nd Liz Robertson 36 pts 3rd Dave Pulling 33 pts 4th Bryan Neal 31 pts On Friday there were some

LAS RAMBLAS GOLF SOCIETY

This gorgeous little girl and her two ginger brothers were left in a box in the doorway of APAH's Charity Shop. They are beautiful kittens, around 8 weeks old and after such a scary start, deserve to grow up in loving homes.

As the weather becomes more amenable to playing golf, numbers are increasing and 22 members and 1 guest turned up for the monthly medal on Tuesday 27th September. Nearest the pins: Hole 2 - Ian Henderson, Hole 6 - Lyn Young, Hole 8 Graham Blakeway.

3rd Place - Ray Housley - Net 53 Shots. 2nd Place - Alan Janes - Net 52 Shots. 1st Place - Ian Henderson - Net 52 Shots on C/Back. If anyone would like to join our Society, we play at El Plantio Golf Club on Tuesday, Friday and Sunday. We use

both courses - the Par 3 nine hole course and the main 18 hole course, so we cater for all abilities. The membership rates are very competitive, so call for more details. Anyone who wishes to play in the Society as a guest or join as a new member, contact Ian Henderson on 966 716 616 or 636 116 230.

La Marina Golf Society Texas Scramble members of the La Marina Golf Society met at Peraleja Golf to compete for the above trophy which is kindly sponsored every year by Optima Optica Opticians in La Marina. We drove to the course in a hail of rain which, judging by the poor quality of the fairways and pathways, had not been an isolated storm. The greens, however, were in good condition. Some confusion reigned in the early

stages of the competition when the lead group decided to play from the first tee to the 17th green. Whether this contributed to their last place we shall never know. Overall winners with a nett score of 62.5 were the "Dream Team" alias the usual suspects, namely Sarah Mccabe, Louvain Smith, Alan Craig and Mike Green. Three of this team also won nearest

the pins, Alan Craig, Sarah Mccabe and Mike Green with the other going to John Brastock. Our next meeting is at Altorreal on 13th October, 10.56 first tee at a cost of 40 euros. Just a reminder of the quiz night on Tuesday 11th October. Contact Elspeth on 965 077 204 or elspeth4mcd@yahoo.co.uk.

T.M.G.S. @ ALICANTE GOLF

Due to bad weather forecast for our visit to this sometimes hard to find venue our numbers were depleted, there was no need to worry because the threatened storm never arrived just a slight breeze to make the days play a little more interesting. However the real surprise came from the condition of the greens, I have never seen the greens at Alicante golf so bad, they are attempting to repair them but really they were almost unplayable in places. That said it didn’t affect the scoring, yes of

course as always on this course some players find the water more often than they would like but on the other hand some players actually broke par! Results; N.T.P.’s Hole 3 Alex Goslan, Hole 6 Ole Nygaard, Hole 8 Troy Norris, Hole 12 Sandra Twentyman, Hole 15 Alf Norland, Hole 17 Henry Steele. The “2’’s pot was a roll over from a previous week so the 2 lucky winners shared €51, well done to Shelia Dean winning her first ever “2’s” pot and Troy Norris. Visitors’ category winner; Mrs. Tucker 25 pts. Silver category;

3rd M. Myhrvold 25 pts. 2nd J. Hillier 32 pts. 1st J. Davidson 37 pts. Gold category; 3rd H. Steele 30 pts, 2nd G. Smith 37 pts. 1st A. Rickers 39 pts. Photo: Gold category winners.

ATLETICO TAKE THE LEAD AS RIVALS FALTER

Visiting Valencia, now managed by Italian Prandelli, Atletico soon went ahead through free-scoring Antoine Griezmann, but were denied further advancement when Diego Alves saved not one, but two penalties, thus becoming the all-time record penaltystopper in Spanish football. Even he, however, could not prevent a further Atletico goal, this time from Gameiro. The key to Atletico’s success, however, is their miserly defence, which has conceded only two goals in seven matches. Real Madrid missed a chance to go ahead when they entertained Eibar, but without the injured Modric and Casemiro in midfield and with two complete passengers in the shape of Benzema and Isco, they could find little response to Fran Rico’s early goal, until Bale finally headed in a fine cross by Cristiano Ronaldo. That was the end of their

effectiveness, however, and their fourth successive draw was given the bird by the Bernabeu crowd. Barcelona must have thought they could do no worse when they visited Celta de Vigo, but their shaky defence fell apart in the first half, and half-time saw then three down. Something of a recovery in the second half was not enough for the Catalans, and Celta added another to run out 43 winners. The league table, then, is topped by Atletico, leading on goal difference from Real Madrid, with Sevilla (who beat Alavés 2-1) a point behind, then a further point back, come Barcelona and Villareal, who could only draw with lowly Español. At the other end Granada, who dismissed their unfortunate manager Paco Jémez, are still without a win, as are Osasuna. In the second division Levante eased past Valladolid by the odd

goal in five, and are three points clear of Córdoba, in turn a point above a gaggle of other sides. Locals Elche are having a tough time of it, and have fallen back into mid table. In division 2B, group 1 is headed – unsurprisingly - by Racing de Santander, whilst group 2 sees more of a surprise, being led by Majadahonda, who won away at Castilla 0-1. Group 3 features a struggle between two ‘reserve’ teams, those of Valencia and Barcelona, with local sides Alcoyano and Hercules not far away from the action. Group 4 leaders Marbella remain the only club in the entire Spanish senior league with 100% reord, after beating Mérida 2-1 to make it seven out of seven. In England monsoon conditions prevailed over much of the country, and don’t seem to have favoured Manchester, as City were beaten 2-0 by Spurs, and United could only hold Stoke to a draw (A certain Portuguese gentleman opined that they could have won 6-0 - hmmm). Liverpool continued their good form, winning at Swansea. In golf, the USA at last gained their revenge, and took back the Ryder Cup on their own turf, by a tidy margin. Malcolm Palmer

Quesada Golf Society Last Wednesday the society made the short trip to Las Colinas which for many is the best course in the area. The course was as usual in excellent condition and the weather perfecto for a good game of golf. There were of course the added extras, free pyramid of balls on the golf range, water and tees and an after-match free drink. 31 players contested an individual stableford competition with 2 divisions. The only criticism on the day was that the course was very busy and the marshall´s were trying to speed up play in order to get the buggies back for reuse for players with later tee-times. This was a bit of a nuisance but didn´t prevent everyone having an enjoyable day. The winner of the Gold Division was that man Brent Hollings again for I think the 6th time in succession with 35 points. He can do no wrong and his handicap keeps coming down. He is apparently spending more time on the driving range which is paying dividends. In second place was Mark Goode with 32 points, who came “good” on the day, and in 3rd place the jovial Welshman Tony Forbes with 29 points. In the Silver division the winner was new member Steve Craven with 32 points. Well done Steve and expect a cut in

your handicap. In second place was the man who deals with the dinero´s, our Treasurer Brian Airey with 28 points. In 3rd place was Welsh lass Glenys

Thomas with 27 points who beat her husband Mike by a big margin. Better luck next time Mike. The “Nearest the Pins” winners were, English/Italian Nick Capasso, Smokin Tony Patterson, Mike Thomas, Mark Goode and Paul Flanaghan. There were 3 winners of the 2´s, Nick Capasso, Brent Hollings and Sergio Spiers with each taking home a fistful of euro´s. One of the semi-finals in the annual knock-out competition was played. This was between husband and wife Tony and Sue Forbes who have never played against one another before in a knock-out competition. It was noted that on the day there was big distances between most of

the Yellow and Red tees. Tony said 150 yards at least ! A lot of the Yellow tees were set back and close to the White tees so the course played long on the day. Had Sue been onto the course and requested this ? It was a nip and tuck affair which swung one way and then the other and finished all square. They now have to decide what they do to decide the winner. Anyway Sue will continue to do the cooking and Tony will wash up. The next society game is on Wednesday 5 October and is the “away day” at Hacienda Del Alamo. There will be 3 Societies travelling together, Quesada, Mono´s and The Welcome Inn. It should be a great day. Anyone in the Quesada area looking to join a very friendly golf society and play golf once a fortnight at a wide variety of courses at a very reasonable cost, should contact the Chairman & Membership Secretary Les Pancott on 966716723.

Allardyce hides shame in Spain Sacked and disgraced England football manager Sam Allardyce has retreated to his villa in Spain after being forced to resign. He was spotted on the balcony of his Costa Blanca home, ‘Big Sam’s Villa’, a day after he left the top job. His life-long friend David Ingham, 81, and his wife Pat arrived to cheer up the 61-year-old, who is said to be ‘sad’ and ‘very hurt’. Asked how long the former England boss would be staying at his villa in Benidorm, Ingham said: “It could be two weeks, two months. He’s got time on his hands now. He added: “I’ve known Sam for 40 years since he was a young Bolton player and he’s a lovely man with a high moral compass. “He’s being painted as a greedy money grabber but that’s not the man I know. He’s a great guy.” Allardyce’s wife Lynn is also staying at the clifftop villa near Benidorm while he ‘reflects’ on his career disaster. He was forced to resign last Tuesday night after chasing a €460,000 deal to top up his salary while offering advice on bypassing transfer rules. His villa is a spacious hillside property which features a carved stone sign in the shape of a football which reads, ‘Big Sam’s Villa’ Allardyce has moaned about his own 'error of judgement' but blamed 'entrapment' for forcing him to quit as England manager in disgrace. Allardyce was handed a £1million pay-off and speaking outside his home looking shaken and exhausted he admitted: 'It was a silly thing to do'. He said: “Unfortunately it was an error of judgment on my behalf and I've paid the consequences. But you know, entrapment has won on this occasion and I have to accept that. I'm off abroad just to chill out and reflect.”

Allardyce, 61, reportedly received a seven-figure severance deal when he quit on Tuesday after just 67 days in the job – the shortest tenure of a permanent England manager. He also banked £500,000 for his two months of work and the Football Association had to pay £3million compensation to Sunderland for taking their manager. The overall cost amounts to nearly £5million – or just under £75,000 a day for the job in which he presided over just one game. Allardyce, who was the world's highest-paid international football manager, was exposed in a secretly recorded video trying to top up his salary by touting advice on how to cheat strict player transfer rules.

Your Week in Sport ■ CHRIS DARWEN

chris@costablancapeople.com

I’m not sure who the classiest heavyweight champion of the world has ever been, but I know it isn’t Tyson Fury. The big gypsy withdrew from his rematch with Klitschko last week, with mental health being cited. It later transpired that the mental health issue might have been caused by the fact Fury had tested positive for cocaine. Whilst the fighter’s camp have refused to officially comment on the allegations, Tyson took to twitter to superimpose his head on to a famous picture of Al Pacino in Scarface. You know the one, where he is surrounded by a lot of cocaine. A curious way to suggest your innocence, I am sure you would agree. The Ryder Cup took place over the weekend. Having heard the watching public, and when I say watching what I really mean is heckling and shouting abuse at the European players, I have drawn the conclusion that the US citizens deserve everything they get and hope Trump gets elected. Obviously I don’t mean that, I am not as stupid as the people watching the golf. For me, the biggest question of the weekend was not “who was

going to win” but “who are the 52% who voted for Brexit cheering for?” USA proved to be too strong for Europe who never fully recovered from a terrible first round.

The England cricket camp don’t appear to be singing from the same hymn sheet. Top man Andrew Strauss claimed there was no issue with Morgan and Hales deciding not to travel to

Lewis Hamilton is not a happy chappy, and not just because the Yanks won the golf. Lewis suffered engine failure again in Malaysia and was furious, claiming that “Mercedes have loads of engines that work, it just seems to always be mine that don’t. Nobody can give me any answers!” Having dominated the weekend right up until the actual race, Hamilton was happily pootling along at the front without a care in the world until his engine started throwing out flames everywhere. That would ruin anyone’s Sunday.

Bangladesh , primarily I would assume as that would involve Strauss being a complete hypocrite. Head coach Paul Farbrace was not so intune, saying he was “massively disappointed in the pair.” A security delegation of over 500 people are involved in keeping the English cricket team safe in Bangladesh, with armed snipers even guarding them during net practice. Thinking about it, one thing that might sharpen up my attitude to training is the thought of a sniper taking aim at me each time I waft lazily outside off stump.

San Miguel Golf Society at La Finca: Captain’s Day That time has arrived again when the year’s Captain (this season’s Barry Roehrig) prepares for handover to the new incumbent (Theo Boelhouwer), but before the act transpires both the Captain’s Day golf competition and dinner need to take place. For the former an excellent turnout of 66 members and 12 accompanying guests gathered at the SMGS oft frequented course of La Finca to take part in a stableford competition, principally for the Captain’s Day Trophy, but also a wide range of additional prizes, several of which were donated by kind sponsors. A day with the threat of rain, which didn’t materialise, and a strong wind that did, found the course in relatively poor condition compared to its usual high standards. The greens had not recovered from recent hollow tining, being sandy, bumpy and slow, the tee boxes were either heavily sanded or with quite long grass, and some fairways appeared to have been cut high, reducing roll. In addition, the course was set up long, particularly the back nine where holes 10, 11, 12 and 13 couldn’t have been much longer for the pros. However, it was the wind, from about the 9th for those going out first, and for the whole round for the tailenders, that created the most difficulty. Category scoring nicely showed up the expected differences on such a difficult day, with Gold (lowest handicappers) winners scoring better

than Silver, Silver generally better than Bronze. Only two members broke par, both in Gold category, Mike Frankish (38 points) just beating Colin Rust (37) to the Captain’s Day Trophy. Pretty much everybody stayed for the prize giving, some joined by their other halves. Thanks were given by Barry to all those who had taken part, and especially to those who had contributed to making the day such a success. It was noticeable that Barry

took enough of the prizes home himself, coming 5th in the Gold Category, winning the men’s longest drive, a nearest the pin on the par 3 16th, and the nearest the pin in 3 for his category at hole 7. Did nobody tell him that on Captain’s Day the Captain is not meant to come in the prizes!! His Captain’s dinner takes place this coming Saturday (October 1st) at

Campoamor’s Clubhouse, where 111 members and guests are due to attend, and where he will be picking up even more prizes, along with a host of others, for the year’s various society competitions. The day’s results, by category and in reverse order, were the following: Bronze Category: 6th Les Wilton (31 on CB), 5th Ian Parkinson (31 on CB), 4th Keith Wraithmell (31 on CB), 3rd Brian Mulligan (31 on CB), 2nd Kyree Skarsmoen (34 on CB), and 1st, Grattan Forber, also with 34 points. Silver Category: 6th Steve Davis (32), 5th Paul Kelsall (33), 4th Glen Rapley (34 on CB), 3rd Alan Gilbert (34 on CB), 2nd Nick Spicer (35 on CB) and 1st, with the same good score, Hugh Reilly. Gold Category: 6th Vice Captain Theo Boelhouwer (35 on CB), 5th Captain Barry Roehrig (35 on CB), 4th Richard McCann (36 on CB), 3rd Brian Staines (36 on CB), 2nd Colin Rust (37), and 1st, with the day’s best members’ score, Mike Frankish with an excellent 38 points. Other Results and Prizes: Nearest the pins on the par 3’s (open

to all) went to Greg Shumake (3), Dave Lethaby (6), Ben Price (13) and Barry Roehrig (16). Nearest the pin in 3 went to Brian Mulligan (hole 10, Bronze) and Ben Price (7, Gold). A hole for Silver was somehow missed! Nearest the Captain’s Drive on the 1st was won by Steve Davis (most players preferred to hit the ball longer!!!). Nearest the Bunker on hole 9, without actually being in it, went to Geoff Giddy (and Alan Gilbert after Geoff’s marker had been blown away!!). Longest Drive (hole 8) went to Barry Roehrig for the men and Marg Birtwistle for the ladies. The day’s Best Gross Score was achieved by Mike Frankish, a return of 79. The Abacus was won by Fred Walker. The four Best Guest prizes went to: 4th Tony Sims (30), 3rd Dave Lethaby (31), 2nd Martin Perry (35), and 1st, with the day’s best score, Alan McCombie with 39 points. Our thanks go to the staff at La Finca golf course for their contribution to the day. Keep up to date with all SMGS matters by logging on to our website www.smgs.org or simply give Barry Roehrig a call on 966 731 033 to find out more about the society and its weekly golf get-togethers. Next week we will be at Villamartin under new Captain Theo Boelhouwer.

EUROGOLF BETTER BALL PAIRS On Thursday 29th September despite torrential rain during the evening and early morning Eurogolf played a better ball pairs competition. Amazingly the course was really dry and even the bunkers didn’t hold any water. There were some good pairings on paper but the favorites didn’t take the winners prize. In 3rd place with a credible score of 43 points were George McCallum and Hedy Paehlig 2nd David Valentine and Ken Enever 44 points 1st Mike Mitchell and Clive Peck with an impressive 46 points.

SWERVE AWAY!

It may seem strange to heap praise on a side that has won just one point from seven matches, but it is truly deserved. Bottom of the table Torry took on 2nd placed Ontinyent and only a vicious last second swerve on the ball denied them a hard earned point. Torry conceded a free kick just outside their box and it was taken short before being driven hard on goal. Buba had it covered, but then at the last moment the ball took an astonishing swerve left to give Buba no chance to keep it out. Just minutes earlier, the Guinean goalie had denied the hosts from the penalty spot, diving to his right to punch the ball clear. It was a soft penalty, the referee waiting a full seven seconds after the fall of the player before pointing to the spot. A cynic would say his mind was made up by the crowd crying out for the award! Torry are rebuilding their team after a disastrous start to this campaign. Six experienced professionals have now been released, Marcano and Pastor following the exit footsteps of Belforti, Alex, Pavon and Abraham. Expect a couple more this week as the team transforms into a competitive and resolute squad. Martin will return to action at the heart of the defence for the Castellon game, but for this contest, Torry relied upon Juanmi and Carrasco as their central defence coupling. Both lads were playing out of position, but both excelled and never put a foot wrong the whole match, using their football talent to limit the hosts to a handful of half chances. Ontinyent have

now won six of their seven games and are clearly a genuine promotion candidate. In fact, although Torry´s start is deplorable, it should be noted that their six defeats have come against sides that presently occupy the first eight positions in the league table. Given that the improvement in the side is evident, it is apparent that wins are soon to come, especially with new arrivals looming. One such rumoured newcomer is a former favourite who has been playing in the U.S. A. and in Australia, making a big name for himself, as well as graduating in

equaliser following the baffling movement of the ball that won the hosts the game and the three points. Once more Buba was exceptional and he deserved a clean sheet. Lewis was made captain and responded with a leadership performance, full of desire, committment and tenacity. However, he was anchored in front of the back four for much of the game, the side losing out on his instinctive goal menace. Expect a return to leading the line v Castellon. Pedreno and Carrasco were bitterly

civil engineering. If his registration is completed in time, expect his seasonal debut on Sunday when Torry tackle Castellon at the Nelson Mandella with a 6pm kick off. Ontinyent did deserve to win this match, given their dominant possession. However, it was pleasing that Torry kept them to a modest number of half chances and even more satisfying to note the pressure that Torry applied in seeking an

disappointed that they came away with nothing from this tie, having utilised their resources perfectly and engendered a pulsating performance from all concerned. Once the final deadwood has been let go and more determined personnel brought in, then the excitment will really begin. Nothing short of three points will be expected against Castellon on Sunday Jeff Scott

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

Dear Gareth. Could you make England play like Spurs please? Thanks. Before we wax lyrical about the Premier League to soften the blow of losing it to another international break it would be foolish not to mention the Telegraph’s week of “stings.” Everyone is saying Sam is an idiot and they are right. Imagine being taken down in the same group as an agent banned for match fixing in 2005, Barnsley’s assistant manager, Eric Black of Southampton and suggestions that Harry Redknapp might have known after the event that one of his players might have placed a bet on a game that they won. Sam has not been this embarrassed since his “Dad dancing” after Sunderland stayed up. The postcards sent out to the England players two days later from Allardyce, to motivate them for the upcoming matches completely sum up the FA. They are always just that little bit behind the times. Greg Dyke waded in proving that FIFA was wrong to shut down the anti-racism panel early, saying the next England manager should be “whiter than white.” For me, the biggest loser in all this is Andy Carroll. There is no way back for him now. Seriously, how good were Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday? Let’s not get too carried away and say they are the new City, but take a moment to appreciate the quality of their performance against the

club that were expected “to win the league by ten points.” I am not sure who I am quoting when I say that, but some “expert” will have delivered that sound byte at some point for sure. Yes, yes City were without De Bruyne and Nolito which meant they had to play Fernando and Navas, but Spurs deserved everything they got and more. Simply, there is plenty of sugar without Kane. Poch has done a fine job of distracting everyone this season with photos of him signing players to longterm deals. It turns out those players might be worth those long-term deals. The weekend’s football started on Merseyside where Everton were hoping to bounce back from two defeats following my good self tipping them to be guaranteed a place in the top six. Pardew had disappointed some Palace fans by ruling himself out of the England running, but it was his Belgian striker that cancelled out the goal from Everton’s Belgian striker in what was very much billed as the “Battle of the Belgians.” The draw and results across the board see both Everton and Palace in somewhat lofty positions in the table. Not in a particularly lofty position are Swansea, who went into the early Saturday kick off with Liverpool believing that a defeat in a certain manner would subject them to being managed by Ryan Giggs. Little wonder then that they put in an excellent first half which Jurgen Klopp failed to make any sense of. Klopp had warned his team about using social media to air their views. Personally he prefers Monday Night Football with Jamie Carragher as the best place to talk about all things Liverpool and anyone thinking

that the German will have uttered similar wise pearls of wisdom at half time to enable a second half comeback will have been saddened to learn that Kloppo’s tactic was to verbally pin his team up against the wall, claiming he was “angry, very angry.” A dubious penalty scored by Milner saw Liverpool come away with another win and Guidolin left in managerial limbo as the Swansea owners ponder whether 45 minutes of excellence is worth pursuing. At the start of the week you could almost hear the penny dropping for Antonio Conte. The current Chelsea are ok, but only ok and if they want to be more than ok then Roman needs to get his wallet out again. Ivanovic, Cahill, Oscar, Matic & Cesc are all expected to be binned in January and Ivanovic was dropped from the side against Hull. The mere suggestion of being sold had Matic galloping through the middle like a young thoroughbred and it was his drive that allowed Costa to round off a simple 2-0 win for Conte. Hull have been beaten by teams that press and by teams that don’t now. It is going to be a long season for them. There was a large shadow looming over the Stadium of Light, that of Big Sam. Will he end up replacing Moyes, or could he even take Pulis’s place when he finally decides the WBA fans moan too much for his liking? That said, the Sunderland board may regret saying Moyes was their preferred choice for the last few appointments, but couldn’t get him. Pulis ended the match “very disappointed” not to have won, probably adding “seeing we were playing that rabble” as Patrick van Aarnholt rose from

the bench to save Sunderland another beating in the 1-1 draw. Eddie Howe was also a disappointed man, having seen his team draw with Watford. During the week the Bournemouth manager had stated he had no interest in ruining his career 20 years early, therefore ruling himself out of the England job too. Why would he want to be in a position to persist with Jack Wilshere at international level as well? Jack missed a sitter that meant Walter Mazzarri was able to enjoy his birthday to a moderate degree. West Ham, in what we would call a bit of a slump, went out to do some team bonding last week, ending up in McDonalds at 7am on Tuesday morning. Well, eat like a pub team and you will play like a pub team. Andy Carroll and Darron Randolph are alleged to have carried it all a little further, clearly using a large Meal Deal to settle the stomach before cracking on again. I can see their point though, if I had to watch the Hammers from the stands every week like those two do, I’d be back on 24 hour benders too. Still, Payet staggered past the Middlesbrough defence in the style of a man finding his way home from the pub to score a wonderful solo goal to get the Hammers a point. Louis van Gaal wanted “virtual reality” training for United last season. Rooney was one step ahead for once, he has been living in a virtual reality for about 18 months, one where he is still a good player. Still, it was Rooney who was once again summoned from the bench to miskick the ball to a United player and claim it as an assist. Jose has it sussed now, give him ten minutes here and there and the damage should be

minimal. During the week Jose added something new to Blame Bingo. One of his coaches gave Pogba the wrong instructions against Zorya. We can only assume that the coach has been giving Pogba the wrong instructions in every game other than Leicester where of course Jose told him what to do. Stoke’s first point at Old Trafford in thirty-odd years sadly does not catapault them up the table. We all remember that Leicester are the Champions, right? Well they drew 0-0 with Southampton who seem to have suddenly gelled and become hard to beat. Arsenal travelled to Burnley having won a couple in a row which meant they were very much due a monumental fail. In the week of Wenger’s 20th anniversary as boss, Roy Keane gave it all a bit of perspective. I think he can see through Walcott’s recovery this season and would like to see him delivering come December, you know, when all his team mates are wearing gloves. Arsene spent the teasing everyone over the England job, as if he would be foolish enough to take it. Mo Farah was linked with becoming their fitness coach and nothing will send the Telegraph’s investigative team Arsenal’s way quicker than that move. Oh, the match? Arsenal only went and won it deep it into injury time. Has this team finally got the steel required? Imagine a world where Arsenal win the title and Wenger quits a hero to take over England. Go on, imagine it. PS: If you want to join thousands of others enjoying this drivel on a daily basis, head over to www.talesfromthetopflight.com and subscribe!
