Sunday saw the fourth AECC, Maria and the Pink Ladies balloon release to mark Breast Cancer Awareness Month. This year was the third time the event had been hosted at Zenia Boulevard, which continues to be a huge supporter of the AECC anti-cancer charity.

Hundreds of people attended the event which ran from midday until the balloons were released at 6.30pm.

Maria and her Pink Ladies and Pink Panthers were on hand all day selling tickets for the balloon release. Participants bought a 2 euro ticket to be attached to a balloon and placed in the holding nets.

Each ticket held a personal message for a loved one with or lost to cancer. By the time the balloons were ready to be released it is estimated that there were around 2,000 pink balloons in the nets.

The flowing crowds were entertained all day by a line-up of local artists who give their time and performances for free, something that the charity is always grateful for, as it allows every penny raised

to be donated to the AECC. This year the entertainers included: Dan Davy, Just Ollie, Nikki G, Kylie Burgazzi, No Limit, Jay

Marwick and his dancers, Kevin Tyler, Johnny Lee, JJ Soul and Janelle. The event was presented by Stevie Spit and the

whole day was supported by Simon Morton and Sunshine FM. The as well as a personal message the

It is too early to for the team of volunteers to have calculated exactly how much was raised on Sunday, as in addition to ticket sales many people made personal donations to boost the coffers.

The Pink Ladies and Panthers also sold a newly released CD recorded by local artists called 'Run for Life'. The title track will now be adopted by Maria and the Pink Ladies as their new anthem.

BITE SIZE Government delivers NEWS: on pledge to give British expats back the right to vote Walk against cancer

Update on sports schools The mayor of Torrevieja, José Manuel Dolón announced in a press release on the 6th October that a temporary solution has been found to the problem of the sports clubs. It is hoped that in 2017 proper contracts can be put into place to prevent problems in the future, such as those experienced over the past few weeks.

The mayor will now be in touch with the parents affected and hopefully the situation will be resolved in an acceptable manner. ‘What’s most important,’ said the mayor. ‘Is that the new contracts will be drawn up as quickly as possible and we mustn’t throw in the towel at the first change we encounter. We have to look for solutions.’

Continued on page 5

The government has published detailed plans on how it will deliver its commitment to allow all expats to vote in parliamentary elections The Minister for the Constitution, Chris Skidmore, announced the policy statement which sets out how the government will remove the current 15-year time limit on British citizens who live abroad registering as overseas electors.

The changes would give all eligible British citizens who have lived in the UK a lifelong right to vote in parliamentary elections. It would mean all eligible overseas electors are able to register to vote quickly and easily, while maintaining the integrity of the electoral register and guarding against fraud.

Chris Skidmore, Minister for the Constitution, said: “This statement shows how we will introduce ‘votes for life’, scrapping the 15-year rule. British citizens who move abroad remain a part of our democracy and it is important they have the ability to participate. Following the British people’s decision to leave the EU, we now need to strengthen ties with countries around the world and show the UK is an outward-facing nation. Our expat community has an important role to play in helping Britain expand international trade, especially given two-thirds of expats live outside the EU.

“Expats retain strong links with the United Kingdom: they may have family here, and indeed they may plan to return here in the future. Modern technology and cheaper air travel has transformed the ability of expats to keep in touch with their home country.”

This proposed policy is the latest in a series of measures to make it easier for overseas voters to take part in British democracy. During the last Parliament, the government introduced online voter registration, making it quick, easy and secure to register anywhere in the world.

The government also took steps to extend the electoral timetable for postal ballots to be issued earlier to ensure that as many electors as possible can participate in their democracy.

On Sunday 16th October there will be a Marchapor la Vida (Walk for Life) along the paseo on the front in Torrevieja. The march will begin at 10.30am setting off from the Hombre del Mar. The event coincides with the Día Contra el Cancer de Mama. This is the second year running that the walk has been held to recognise women’s cancer day on 19th October.

The day is in honour of all those women who have lost the fight and those who are dealing with it now. Money is needed for prevention, diagnosis but most of all to investigate the causes. The Rotary Club has donated t-shirts which can be bought from charity AECC offices on TorrevejensesAusentes 33.

BITE SIZE Age Concern’s day out NEWS: Continued from page 3

Headlines in the nationals The story of the Torrevieja boy who ran up a €100,000 bill with Google made it into the national press in Spain. El País ran the story on the 5th October about the 12 year old who discovered that he had an outstanding bill for a promotional campaign. José Javier from Torrevieja was promoting his music group Los Salerosos whilst unwittingly running up the bill.

It is now reported that Google has agreed to waive the fee.Google said; ‘We have analysed this case and we haven’t received any money from the user. We are going to cancel the outstanding AdWords debt.’

In the meantime, José might not have realised his dream of being rich but it looks like Google AdWords has made him famous.

Negotiations take place for workers The town hall in Torrevieja has begun its negotiations surrounding the working arrangements for council workers in the town. The civil servants include the local police whose terms of employment have been controversial for some time.

The intention has been to find the best working conditions that allow staff to balance work commitments and family life. The new arrangements should also allow for savings to be made on travel by officials who live outside the town. It covers all the municipal departments including sport and culture.

Satisfaction with life saving service On the 4th October the town hall announced their satisfaction with the life saving service on Torrevieja’s beaches over the summer. The councillor for beaches, Javier Manzanares expressed his view that the service had run well. This year the service had been given to the company Eulen who were represented at the meeting by Eduardo Gonzalez.

Altogether there had been 82 rescues of which 80 were on La Mata beach. There had been one death which happened in the Paseo Juan Aparicio beach. This death had been caused bya heart attack.

Altogether there had been 2,611 incidents of which 55% were to do with bites, usually by jelly fish or other types of fish. Other injuries included cuts, fractures and sprains which amounted to 24% of the incidents. Councillor Manzanares expressed his thanks to the service and appreciated the daily contact that they had kept. They are now reviewing the service this year to improve it for next season.

Torreta III complain to the town hall Torreta III is one of the oldest urbanisations in Torrevieja, being constructed 40 years ago. Now, it’s looking a little the worse for wear and some of the 1,500 neighbours who live there have had enough of the condition of the streets and services. The difficulties arose as the promoter/builder of the urbanisation never signed off the urbanisation officially. Now the Asociación de Vecinos Torreta III have put the case into a lawyer’s hands for them to complete a study to establish exactly what the situation is for this forlorn part of the town.

The neighbours are particularly angry because of the money they have paid in taxes over the thirty years that some of them have lived there. They claim that a total of 9 million euros has been paid to the town hall in the form of building licences, certificates of occupancy and town hall taxes. Money they do not feel has been spent on upkeep of their community or facilities for them.

The protestors refer to original plans which show that the urbanisation should have more street lighting, roads and pavements; many promises which have not been honoured. ‘The area has been abandoned by the town hall,’ state the residents. ‘Some of the agreed plans were never finished when the urbanisation was constructed in the ´80s. The green areas in particular are completely abandoned.’

This situation has not occurred overnight. The neighbours concede that neglect has built up over 30 years and has been ignored during that time by previous town councils who have always asserted that it was not their responsibility. However, the neighbours argue that technically the town hall has tacitly agreed to the legality of the urbanisation as during this time services have been delivered to the area. They are now seeking compensation for what they see as the neglect of their patch. The town hall has declared that the interior streets are marked on the register as belonging to the construction company and are therefore their responsibility.

Squatting family acquitted ■ SUZANNE O’CONNELL suzanne@costablancapeople.com

A judge has acquitted one of nine families accused of squatting in vacant, publicly owned flats in Torrevieja. The acquittal was given to a mother and her young child who had been living in the flat, situated in Calle Emilia Pardo Bazán, which had been empty for seven years.

The light treatment given by the judge reflects that the mother had acted out of necessity and had taken this action rather than being left without a roof. The judge noted that the woman had entered the property without violence and had shown no aggression. The housing had been intended to help those needing accommodation and should have been offered at a reduced rent. However, this purpose had never come to fruition.

For seven year the Valencian Government has been unable to process the lease and more than 20 of the 30 flats established by the Valencian Government in 2008 have been permanently empty since then. In May only a dozen of the properties were occupied.

The families, supported by Stop Evictions (Stop Desahucios) and the lawyer Pilar Gómez explained that it was a temporary solution and little damage had occurred. The court ruling is considered to be a set back for the EIGE (formerly the Valencian Institute of Housing) who had presented the case and had taken measures to prevent further illegal occupations.

Concerns were raised by them that this lack of action by the court could encourage others to do something similar. These houses were originally intended for young couples on low incomes.

‘Stag do’ arrested after disgusting behaviour on Alicante flight Two ‘absolutely hammered’ British stag party groups were held by Spanish police after a flying wine bottle hit a 10-year-old on the head during flight to Spain.

The members from two different stag parties were on a three-hour flight from Edinburgh to Alicante when the incident happened. Families are said to have cowered in their seats as the two separate parties went wild on the three-hour flight morning flight in what has been described as a display of ‘disgusting behaviour’ . A mother, who was travelling with two children, said a 10 year old was struck on the head by a flying wine bottle and that fights broke out between the two groups of revellers. She also claimed many of them were ‘absolutely hammered’ even before the Ryanair flight took off at 11.15am.

Spanish police were waiting for the groups at Alicante Airport, but some of them swapped clothes in a bid to confuse airline staff. A Ryanair spokesman confirmed that four passengers were removed and detained.

He added: “We will not tolerate unruly or disruptive behaviour and the safety and comfort of our customers, crew and aircraft is our number one priority.”

Irish fugitive arrested Coco and Bean look near Alicante airport for retirement home An Irishman who kidnapped an entire family to steal their van in his home country has been arrested near Alicante airport after going on the run with fake ID. The van held 134,000 Irish pounds in cash at the time, and the kidnap and theft is just one of 11 crimes the accused faces trial for, among which are illegal possession of firearms and forming part of an organised criminal gang.

He is expected to be handed two life sentences if found guilty, and has been under a European arrest warrant since he fled the Republic of Ireland several years ago.

The accused, who has not been named, had been hiding out on the Costa Blanca and was caught near Alicante-Elche airport whilst he was waiting in his car for someone.

The latest crime was in Dublin in

2010, after he and an accomplice had been keeping watch over a man who had access to vans with blacked-out windows for carrying large sums in cash to banks and safe deposits. The victim was approached at gunpoint by two masked individuals just outside his home and forced inside, where his mother and niece were held hostage.

Both the recently-caught fugitive and his partner in crime ordered the victim to steal a van he had access to and which was known to have 137,000 euros in cash inside, as ransom for the women's release. He was told to leave the van and the money in a car park.

His niece and mother were released seven hours later, but the cash has never been found.

In total, the fugitive faces 62 years in jail for the operation.

At the beginning of August, Costa Blanca People told you about the two dogs Coco and Bean who had been taken to Torrevieja’s albergue (animal shelter). At the time we had been asked to help locate their family who we believed had left them there on a temporary basis. Now into October, and following desperate enquiries, Councillor Carmen Morate is saddened to inform us that it looks as though returning home is not an option for these two, ageing dogs. ‘We did

eventually track down the owner,’ explains Carmen. ‘It appears that she had returned to the UK due to ill health and won’t be coming back.

The people who were looking after them are not in a position to care for them either.’

Although they are currently being taken care of in the animal shelter, this is not ideal for either of the two dogs or the others who share this accommodation. ‘They are outside in an area that we usually use to let the shelter dogs have a run around,’ says Carmen. ‘Whilst they are in there, the other animals can’t do this.

Both dogs have been used to being family pets and now, at 11 and 12 years old, they need to continue to enjoy a family environment.

Costa Blanca People asks readers to either contact Facebook site: Concejalía de Protección Animal de Torrevieja, call Carmen Morate’s office on 965 705 243 or email Carmen at cmorate@torrevieja.eu if you think you can help to provide a home.

Spain’s wild bears facing starvation

Torrevieja car club is ten years old

WILD bears in Spain are suffering from malnutrition after a very dry summer and poor fruit harvest. Images captured in the Cantabrian mountains showed some bears were extremely thin and showing symptoms of cachexia, a wasting disease.

FAPAS – the Fund for the Protection of Wild Animals – said they are ‘extremely concerned’ by their condition.

The Torrevieja classic and specialist car club are delighted to announce that they are now ten years old. An anniversary dinner to commemorate the milestone was held on the 8th October. Thirty members of the club met at the Cafeteria in the International Marina for pre dinner drinks and photo call. They then moved next door to the Nautic restaurant where members enjoyed their three-course meal

President Ron Blackwell announced at the recent AGM that the club continues to be in a ‘good place’ and that there are no anticipated major changes to rules or regulations. ‘We have lost seven members over the year,’ explained Ron. ‘But we have gained seven. We welcome all new

complications for the bears this year, altering the natural life cycles that are so important to the survival of the bears,” said a statement from FAPAS. “A very dry summer has led to a poor and late harvest in fruits such as cherries and wild berries, which the bears rely on.”

The naturally shy creatures have now been forced to leave their isolated valleys where they usually thrive to forage in human-populated areas.

FAPAS said it is why there have been more reports of damaged bee hives, because the hungry bears are seeking out honey. If they are not sufficiently fattened up before winter, when they hibernate, they may not survive.

WEEKLY EURO UPDATE In global terms it was a mediocre week for the euro. It lost half a Japanese yen and three quarters of a US cent. That was despite a half-cent jump on Tuesday after investors seized upon the almost certainly erroneous idea that the European Central Bank is about to begin winding down its asset purchase scheme. Uninvestable banks’ lending less money is not at all what ECB monetary policy aims to achieve. So investors put two and two together and, bingo! The ECB must be preparing the way for an early end to the QE scheme!

The euro jumped a cent higher against the US dollar.

The Euroland economic data were mostly alright but investors' focus was elsewhere. One factor was the growing expectation of a US interest rate increase in December. Another was the abject retreat of the British pound after the prime minister shed some light on when the wheels would officially be put in motion to leave the European Union.

Theresa May left the British public in no doubt as to what Brexit actually means last Saturday. Speaking at the Conservative conference in Birmingham, the PM assured the nation that she is ready to honour their decision to leave the EU. Brexit means Brexit and Article 50 – the two-year process for leaving the EU – will be triggered “no later than the end of March”.

Music to the ears of the 51.89% of the British electorate that voted to sever all ties with the bloc; less so for the pound

which lost ground to the euro and US dollar, as investors reacted to the prospect of a ‘hard Brexit’. With Brexit now looming on the horizon, investors are acting on concerns that the UK could lose access to the European single market as part of plans to clamp down on immigration. For some reason it took markets by surprise and they set about giving the pound another good thrashing.

The pound was a firm believer in Murphy’s Law on Friday morning, after it tanked as much as 6% to a three-decade low against the US dollar, and slipped to its worst levels in five-years against the euro; adding to its earlier losses this week amid speculation that the UK economy is in line for increasing Brexitfuelled uncertainty once Article 50 is triggered.

But what was to blame for this latest dip in form? Well no one was entirely sure. Because there was no news so far to justify the pound's wild swing, analysts have suggested a “fat finger” error by a trader or computerised chain reaction could be responsible for the currency’s surprise downward trajectory.

At one stage in overnight trading, the pound was down by as much as 10% against the dollar, until a rogue outlying trade was cancelled, leading to a recovery. When the London markets opened, sterling had a small gust of wind in its sails and began to drag itself out of the doldrums.

HSBC Expat Survey Despite several attempts to ban the afternoon shut down, Spain is still the home of the siesta. The Spanish are poor timekeepers, and can appear rude.

Red tape can make life impossible, and this is a patriarchal society that can be hard for women coming here for the first time to adapt to. Ah, and men still love to catcall. At least that’s what a selection of expats interviewed for HSBC’s latest Expat Explorer Survey have noticed about the country they now call home..

The survey questioned 26,871 expats living in 190 countries across the globe and asked respondents about everything from quality of life and personal relationships to the local economy and the nature of the workplace. It found the most attractive country overall for expats to make a new home is Singapore, followed by New Zealand and Canada.

For Spain, however, which came in 16th place overall, the opinions were decidedly mixed. First the good news: Spain is doing better in the ‘family’ category’, moving up to seventh place in the ranking with particularly high scores for state education, public healthcare and the public transport system, though it was pointed out that parking is a problem in the big cities.

In even better news, Spain rated second behind only New Zealand among 190 countries in the ‘experience’ category, which includes factors such as making friends, culture, integration and quality of life.

An overwhelming 73 percent of expats living in Spain said they were happily integrated into Spanish society. Aspects that were praised were the Mediterranean diet, flamenco, architecture, art and the climate with the only hint of negativity being the time it takes “to get used to the pace of Spanish life.”

On the economic front, however, Spain rated rather less well, coming 45th in the HSBC rankings, with particularly low scores for entrepreneurship (42rd) and wage growth (45th).

According to Spain’s resulting country guide: “Spain was seriously affected by the global financial crisis several years ago but the situation is steadily improving,” although, “the country is still grappling with high unemployment rates and, until recently, recession.”

Spanish business culture is also tackled and summed up with the words, “Social status and personality often carry as much weight as an individual's skills and experience.” And, “The Spanish prefer to do business with people they know and trust.”

Same old perceptions The guide describes Spain as a place that still hasn’t managed to shake off its ‘mañana’ image. There is a particular section on the siesta, which reports that Spaniards “eat, rest and recharge their batteries” between 2 pm and 5pm, though they do add, “This practice is starting to die out in some cities, but it’s still common in the suburbs and smaller towns and villages.”

It also suggests that Spaniards are not too bothered about punctuality and can be rather abrupt, though foreigners are reminded that the lack of a please or thank you, does not mean they are being rude.

In terms of red tape, the guide maintains, “Spanish bureaucracy can cause long delays, particularly when local laws and culture differ from one region to another.”

Spain is also described as “patriarchal” and a country where “women can have a difficult time adjusting,” while “staring and catcalling is something of a national pastime for many men, especially in rural areas.

Seagate Wealth Management

Beware rise in pension scams with around 60 savers a month being targeted by crooks in 2016

A

major insurer says the number of customers asking to transfer their pensions to suspected scams has tripled.

Aegon says 60 savers a month are being targeted by crooks in 2016, up from 20 last year. The fraudsters typically cold‐ call victims and offer free pension reviews.

They then promise big returns if customers transfer cash into risky investments such as wine or overseas property.

Savers who sign up risk losing their nest eggs — either because their cash is stolen or lost in risky schemes.

Victims of so‐called pension liberation scams who take nest eggs early can also be hit by hefty 55 per cent tax charges.

At Seagate Wealth Management, we all come to work every day to help Expats make the most of their finances.

We are a team of Independent Financial Advisers that have previously worked for some of the UK´s leading banks including TSB, Barclays, Halifax and Lloyds Bank.

And they’re off ...

Dave Bull’s motorbike challenge Last year it was the kayak challenge, this year it’s riding around Spain on their motorbikes. It might not seem to be quite as gruelling a task as rowing but when you’re soaked and saddle sore it’s not much fun. This 2016 challenge is still one to test the nerve and stamina of Dave Bull and his son, Mitch.

During their ride around Spain, they aim to cover 400 kilometres by motorcycle each day. The pair are now well into their journey

having set off on the 27th September from Webster’s bar in Gran Alacant. The Costa Blanca Rawhides accompanied them as far as Alicante but then the pair were on their own to continue their long journey around the

perimeter of Spain.

Dave Bull is the patron of the Samaritans in Spain and the challenge is intended to raise awareness throughout the country of the work that the Samaritans do. The pair will also being raising money for the Spanish cancer charity AECC. The pair’s determination to raise money for cancer came as a result of learning that a close relative had been diagnosed with terminal cancer. Since then they determined that they would complete a challenge every year to raise money to tackle the disease. When Dave Bull became patron of the Samaritans, he combined his money-raising efforts with awareness raising too.

It is anticipated that their ride will take just less than a month and that they will arrive at the Samaritan’s centre in Punto Marina on 20th October. During

the course of their ride they are avoiding motorways and taking only coastal and border routes.

Sounds like it should be quite a scenic ride, so what’s the challenge?

There’s no stopping. This isn’t a casual saunter around Spain’s hotels but any overnight stays will be in a tent and camping.

They’ve allowed themselves €5 a day for food and drink and are hoping that they can find campsites where they can pitch their tent for free.

So far they have toured through Pamplona, the Basque country, Gijon, Galicia, and were last seen in Ourense. You can follow their journey by liking their Facebook page ‘Riding for cancer’ or you can also find out more about the quest at motorbikechallenge.es Suzanne O’Connell

Crafts and tapas in Javea People from across the Costa Blanca are being given the chance to taste the best seafood tapas, look at real crafts and listen to live music, courtesy of the Javea La Mar de Tapas Festival.

If you live anywhere on the Coast, like to taste different tapas and look at original craftwork, then the La Mar de Tapas Festival in the Port of Jávea is definitely worth a visit for the day.

Here you will be able to sample seafood tapas, visit the craft fair and listen to live jazz, while the children enjoy games and storytelling - and you can brush up on and practice your Spanish. All this on Friday 14th, Saturday 15th and Sunday 16th October.

For the fifth year in succession the bars and restaurants in the port of Jávea have organised a

‘Ruta Gastronómica’, offering special seafood snacks – its famous tapas - from 12:30pm till 3pm on all three days and on Friday and Saturday also in the evenings from 7pm till 11pm. Each tapa is priced at 1.80 euros and drinks at 1.50 euros. To enjoy the delights on offer you need to buy a ticket at the information stand located in the craft fair set up along the sea front promenade at the end of Avenida Jaime I. Visitors will also be given a list of all the establishments taking part in the Tapas Route.

The Craft Fair itself is small but interesting; just 20 stalls but offers a wide and varied array of good quality craft work, from original lamps made of recycled wood to traditionally wrought iron; from ceramics to paintings and water colours; from uniquely designed silver jewellery to wooden toys. And, as this fair is organised by the regional craft association Amata, you can be sure all of the items are original work, all made by the people on the stalls – an open air gallery of original affordable items.

The fair runs from 11am till 11pm on all three days and does not close for a siesta.

For more information, in English or Spanish call 639 979 678. Photographs of last year’s fair organised by Amata at Javea can be viewed at: www.amata.es/JaveaPuerto%2015.html

‘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

“Wouldn’t They Hang You?” “Never work with animals or children” was the sound advice given to actors a long time ago.

Those who have to work with children, like parents and teachers will verify that out of their mouths will come unexpected, damning, or at best some embarrassing few words- not to mention the most hilarious utterances. There hasn’t been a parent yet who hasn’t sometime cried out in despair “Oh my God, wouldn’t they just hang you!”

When my son Ian was about four years old we were having Sunday dinner with the “inlaws” Half way through, Ian decided he needed to ask his Grandad a question. “Granda….”Yes a mhic…”Granda, when you die, who will you leave the pub to?”

Jesus, wouldn’t anyone think the matter was being discussed in our house!

Aunt Terry, my father’s youngest and really good looking sister was home from America after ten years. Having dropped her off at my parent’s house I came home and said to Pamela that Terry had “Got so old looking that it wasn’t even funny” Later on she came over to our house to meet the children for the first time. Picking up Olga, then aged three, Terry “Ooh’d “and “Aah’d” (as Americans do) about how beautiful Olga was. “And” replied Olga, “Didn’t you got so old looking that it isn’t even funny”. “Yea” said Terry, “Out of the mouths of babes…”

Paddy Crosby made his fame and fortune dealing with children on the radio programme “The School Around The Corner”. As with the advice given to the actor, the job was high risk, and Paddy sometimes paid the price. The most famous one (on air ..live of course) went like this: “Do you have a funny incident, Jimmy” “Yes Sir!—my neighbour’s pony fell down a hole and they couldn’t get him out, Sir. “And what happened to the pony Jimmy?” “Well Sir,

they had to shoot him” “Ah, that’s awful Jimmy. Did they shoot him in the hole?” “No Sir They shot him in the head Sir!” A friend of ours, Mary Birmingham, who teaches in Raheny, was pleased when the parish priest arrived to the school on the day of the Christmas holidays, to view the crib. As her pupils had the story of The Nativity off like a song, Mary was confident they would impress the priest. “Who wants to tell Father the story of Christmas?” Up shot this little girl’s hand.

“Well Father, there was this star in the sky, and there was this stable and there was this baby born and …and … and… (turning to her friend beside her) ”what’s this his name was…???

Another teacher asked a girl…”What do you think your mother was like when she was a girl” Came the reply “She was always my Mum and none of that stuff!”

“Christians only have one spouse. What is that called “asked the teacher. “Monotony” was one answer given.

“Jesus was born because Mary had an immaculate contraption” explained another fifth class boy. Another boy thought that Noah’s wife was Joan of Ark and another was adamant that the first commandment was when Eve told Adam to eat the apple!

Some children claim they were taught that : The Pope lives in the “Vacuum” ; that the Patron Saint of Travellers is “Saint Francis of the Sea Sick” ;That God told Joseph to take Mary and a flea to Egypt; that the seventh commandment is “thou shalt not admit adultery!”

“I have a new baby brother “announced the six year old girl. “That is wonderful news” enthused the teacher. “No it isn’t “moaned the little girl as her eyes filled up with tears, because what I prayed for was a puppy!” ”Who draws the lines around the

countries?” asked a thinking eight year old boy.

“A skeleton is what is left after the insides have been taken out and the outsides taken off!”

“What is the best method to delay milk from going sour” the class of eleven year olds was asked. “Leave it in the cow. Miss” was one guy’s solution.

My wife’s first teaching job was a country school, where she taught Infants, First and Second classes. The recently-retired old school-mistress lived next door to the school and continued to visit every day, “to see how everything was progressing”! A new boy, six years-old John Doyle started school and he didn’t want to be there! John was bigger and older than the other kids in his class – simply because he would not go to school. His father was the local blacksmith and John was practically reared in the forge and naturally took in much of the colourful language he heard around him.

Two weeks at school and John refused to speak a word in class. “I don’t know what I’ll do with him”, remarked Pamela to the former teacher. “Leave him to me”, said Mrs. Hanley, as she approached John’s desk. “John, I hear that your father made a tricycle for Finian Coloe?” Absolutely no response from John.

“John, do you think your father might make a tricycle for me?” John rolled his eyes and looked this huge woman up and down; “Wouldn’t you be a grand looking’ hape of shite on a tricycle” were his first words spoken in Clonard National School! John never looked back and Mrs. Hanley never came back!

A “brat” is a child who acts like your own but belongs to a neighbour.

Green areas cause controversy Debate continues about the state of some of Torrevieja’s green areas. These are areas of land surrounding and within urbanisations. Although there is lack of progress on the La Siesta/El Chaparral park CBP is pleased to report that some progress has started to be made on another contentious area by Torremarina commercial centre.

La Siesta/El Chaparral The continuing disquiet surrounding the incompleteLa Siesta/El Chaparral park has instigated the creation of a subcommittee led by PP councillors Eduardo Dolón and Rosario Martinez.

Their first meeting took place on Monday 3rd October. The creation of the park had begun prior to the 2015 local elections and was not concluded once the new political team were appointed.

Local residents have campaigned since to see the work continued.

However, the meeting was also an opportunity to air other political concerns.

One of these being the council’s wish to bring the rubbish collection service under municipal control.

The PP councillors at the subcommittee meeting were asked why the current mayor, José Manuel Dolón, is ‘so obsessed with rubbish’.

Torremarina The La Siesta park is not the only area of land that has caused local residents concern.

In July 2015, the Costa Blanca People reported on the state of the Zona Verde by the Torremarina commercial centre. In 2009 Torrevieja’s PP mayor, Pedro Mateo, promised that the green area alongside

Rubbish now cleared away Calle Tirso Molina would be started on shortly. Plans were published for what the area would look like. This was one of five areas in the town which were promised rejuvenation by Pedro Mateo and Eduardo Dolón.

However, the work was slow to start in spite of numerous letters to the mayor at the time.

Work did begin shortly before the May local elections but was abruptly stopped when the new council was elected. Leaving a dilapidated area that local resident, Anthony Lister, has campaigned hard to have restored.

Complete restoration of this leisure and sports area is not yet on the cards, but Anthony, and his wife Andreena, are at last a little optimistic that some activity is taking place there.

Returning from a short holiday they were delighted to see that Acciona had cleared away all the rubbish around the green zone.

‘We left on September 20th but before we went we saw Acciona men assessing what needed to be done,’ explained Anthony. ‘Twelve days later we returned to find the rubbish had all been cleared.

Carlos of the OARI emailed asking me to confirm that the work had been done.

He had been in touch with Acciona about it and they sent him pictures of the cleared site.’

Now the couple and their neighbours wait to see if the green zone park, promised them as far back as 2005, will ever be completed.

Baby found dead in a bin in Pilar de la Horadada The Guardia Civil have arrested a couple for having put the lifeless body of their recently born baby in a rubbish container.

The baby was discovered at about 11pm last Tuesday by a homeless man who was searching through the bin.

He told the Local Police, who informed the medical services and the court. The Guardia Civil then started searching for the mother, as they were concerned for her safety because the remains of the placenta had not been found at the place of the discovery.

As the investigation progressed, Guardia Civil officers identified a woman who lives in Pilar de la Horadada, who has two children, as the person who put the dead body of the baby in the bin.

Police sources confirmed to Spanish newspaper Diario de la Vega that this woman has been located and taken to a medical centre under arrest.

In total four people were arrested in connection with the case, including the couple thought to be the baby’s parents.

All are believed to be of Romanian origin. It appears that the mother had given birth just hours before her child was wrapped in a blanket, put inside a plastic bag and dumped in the bin However, it has not yet been ascertained if the baby was alive when he was left in the bin or if he had been still born. The baby, a little girl, weighed 3.5 kilos.

The arrests took place around midday last Wednesday at the family home in Calle Miguel de Cervantes, just a few metres from the spot where the baby’s body was found. Neighbours told police that the couple already have two daughters, aged six and eight years old, and most seemed unaware that the mother was expecting a third child.

Practically Perfect Pictures Every Time!

Remembering

Colin

Timms

Remember

the Black Hole of Quesada

Rebecca Serwotka – Your favourite local property expert, of Inmobiliaria Real Estate Agents in Ciudad Quesada.

Taking photographs of a home is one of the most important marketing tools when your house is for sale. Everyone knows that first impressions count, so why settle for a dull, lifeless looking picture as your gateway to attracting a buyer?

Don’t worry if you don’t have access to a “top of the line” camera, or even what was a craze a few years ago… “The Drone,” you can still take an attractive photo using a little common sense.

Drones used to be popular in other parts of the world, with being able to capture an aerial view of a home. However in Spain, they are illegal to operate in any urban areas, and can result in quite a substantial fine of up to €225,000.

If you want to expose your buyer to an aerial view, you can always type in your address on Google Earth!

I’ve asked our professional photographer/videographer, Tony Dallow, to share some of his tips in creating practically perfect pictures, and here’s what he has to say…

“When photographing the outside of a property, the first and most simple item to be aware of, is this marvellous Spanish sun. By using it to our advantage, we don’t have to worry about lighting, and best of all everyone has access to it and it’s free!”

“Don’t take the photo at any time of day, look when the sun is on the side of the home that you want to capture, then make sure you stand far enough back to take as much of the front of the

property as possible. Like with any photo, unless you’ve got a wide angled lens, you may not always be able to show the entire width of the house, but do the best you can, and looking at it from a buyer’s perspective, might help you focus on the most important exterior features.”

Tony has been photographing the homes we market and sell during the last 27 years, and insists on the best lighting when taking interior shots of a house.

“When taking photos inside the property, the most important element is the lighting. TURN ON ALL LIGHTS, and be sure to open all shutters and blinds! This is a tremendously important detail, and one that many people forget to focus on. You’ll be surprised in the difference between lights on and lights off!”

“Photographing an unmade bed is a definite no, no. Make the bed, as this will make the photo!”

“De-clutter as much as you can beforehand, otherwise on a photo, the room will look smaller.”

Obviously professional photographers utilize their many skills and experience when photographing homes for sale, but by sticking to these basic rules, they will help you capture better results.

They don’t say “a picture speaks a thousand words” for nothing!

Those of us who have lived in Quesada for a few years or more, will remember the room under the Municipal Centre (the Black Hole) where there were around 25 chairs for around 50 (mostly retired) people - waiting for medical attention.

Quesada had grown too quickly for the infrastructure to keep up.

Concerns were that, if the Rojales Medical Centre were to be extended, it would meal that 10,000 souls resident or visiting Quesada would need to travel several kilometres for attention when sick. Buses then were very, very few.

Colin Timms, his wife Maureen and a band of able helpers, formed the Grupo Independiente de Rojales political party - GRIP. Colin was a tireless worker who put his own money into getting things started.

Working together, GRIP members gained two seats on the local Council, allowing Colin to pursue his main aim of a New Health Centre on the urbanisation.

Sr. Antonio Martinez Canovas was the forward-thinking Mayor at the time and it was with his co-operation and very positive support that together they achieved the construction of the impressive new Health Centre.

All of us living in Quesada owe a debt of thanks to Sñr. Martinez and particularly to Colin Timms, who put so much of himself into the project and who achieved so much for us all.

Colin sadly passed away on 28th September (aged 90) and is generally mourned and missed.

Spain breaks record with over 10 million tourists in August Some 10.1 million foreign tourists flocked to Spain in the month of August and the influx of tourists has led to a jobs surge over the summer and extended the country’s economic recovery.

The staggering figure is a 5.8 percent increase on last year and is a national monthly record, according to the National Statistics Institute.

In the first eight months of 2016, tourist numbers increased by 10 percent from the same period in 2015 to 52.5 million. Spain

is now expecting to break last year’s record of 68.1 million arrivals.

The country’s tourism sector has received a boost as security fears continue to plague rival destinations in the Mediterranean and Middle East. Most visitors remained British and arrivals from the UK increased by 3.9 percent year-on-year in August. However the figure does mark a slowdown compared to previous months, perhaps owing to the weakening of the pound post-Brexit.

tv PICK Ambulance – BBC1 – 10.00pm

An unprecedented insight into the London Ambulance Service, from the highly-pressurised control room to the crews on the streets, Ambulance provides an honest 360-degree snapshot of their daily dilemmas and pressures. The service brace themselves for a demanding weekend shift. In Brixton, paramedic Rich helps a man who's out of control and lashing out in a nightclub after taking a drug overdose. In east London, a man who's travelled all the way in from Essex to eat at his favourite kebab house has been assaulted. In the control centre, it's fun and games from nine months ago that's causing the phone to ring - five babies are being delivered on the phone tonight. As the pubs begin to close on Saturday night, the violence is escalating. The ambulance dispatchers are forced to make tough calls about who gets an ambulance quickest and who will have wait - when a stabbing comes in they have to divert a crew from a six-year-old who's fallen from a bunk bed.

The Secret Life of Sue Townsend aged 68¾ - BBC2 – 10.00 pm As part of the BBC's Love to Read campaign, Julie Walters narrates the extraordinary story of a workingclass woman who achieved literary stardom through sheer talent and an irrepressible will to write. From Adrian Mole to The Queen and I, Sue Townsend's books combine a brilliantly funny writing style with biting satire, captivating a nation's readers and influencing a generation of writers and performers. A warm and witty celebration of Sue Townsend's life and writing, the story is told with the help of children from Sue's old school, her friends and family, as well as the comedy and literary stars she inspired - including Stephen Mangan, Ian Hislop, David Nicholls, Isy Suttie and Adrian Scarborough. Drawing on Sue Townsend's own archive of letters and notebooks, the film also features unseen photographs, footage and even her appointment diary, which includes poignant entries about her struggles with ill health, written in a humorous style instantly recognisable from her books.

Congress rushes to change election date While the Spanish Socialist Party (PSOE) agonises over whether to let acting Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy form a new government, Congress is already moving to change the date of the general election that would result from its own inability to choose a leader.

Rajoy’s Popular Party (PP) has proposed changing the election date from the highly unpopular 25th December, which the political calendar currently mandates, to 18th December.

This date switch requires a reform to voting legislation, and all parties have agreed to put the proposal through ultra-fast-track procedure to ensure that it reaches the Senate for final passage by late October.

If no governing agreement is reached by 31st October, King Felipe VI will be forced to dissolve parliament and call new elections. They would be the third in a year, and pollsters are predicting a historically low turnout as Spaniards grow increasingly tired of politicians’ inability to strike deals.

Between now and then, the main opposition PSOE also has to pull itself together following last weekend’s debacle, when Pedro Sánchez resigned as secretary general after an internal rebellion that climaxed with an emergency meeting at Madrid

CostaBlancaPeople October 11th - 17th 2016

headquarters and protests outside the building.

Sánchez has been an unwavering opponent of supporting a new Rajoy administration in any way, while some

Socialist officials feel that the party should allow it in order to pull Spain out of the prolonged political deadlock.

But few within the party have actually come out and said it in so many words.

Last week, Javier Fernández, the chair of the management team that is temporarily leading the PSOE until a new secretary general is found, said the closest thing: “I do not want elections, and I will defend that before the Federal Committee.”

Until now, high-level party meetings have deliberately avoided the issue. But José María Barreda, a former premier of

Castilla-La Mancha, says that Socialists cannot put it off any more, and that anyone who supports abstaining at the investiture vote – a move that would effectively let Rajoy become the new PM – must come out and say so.

“Supporters of abstention have been embarrassed about discussing it,” said Barreda on Onda Cero radio station.

Decision It will be up to the 290-member Federal Committee – the same one that voted Sánchez down – to decide whether the PSOE takes the historical step of helping its traditional rival into office.

Before that, Javier Fernández will convene a session of the Territorial Council, in which top regional leaders will decide on a common position and convey it to their grassroots. If this council greenlights abstention, it will not have an easy job of convincing the rest of the party, where Sánchez’s no-to-Rajoy attitude has made great inroads.

Whatever the decision, all 85 Socialist deputies in Congress must vote the same way, as conscience voting is not an option.

“I am not even considering the possibility of free votes,” said management team chair Fernández, who is also the regional premier of Asturias.

Instead, he will attempt to convince fellow party members that “abstaining is not the same as supporting.”

Spain responds to Russian provocation Two Spanish F-18 fighter jets were scrambled off the coast of Bilbao in late September after two Russian bombers triggered alarms from the Norwegian Arctic to the western edge of Europe.

In what the French Defense Ministry described as a show of force unseen since the Cold War, two Tupolev 160 long-range bombers, known in NATO parlance as “Blackjacks,” flew “provocatively” close to Spanish airspace along the country’s northern coast after setting off on 22nd September from their base in Russia.

The Tupolevs, which are equipped with cruise missiles, were detected at 9.13am close to Norwegian airspace.

In response, Norway sent up two F-16s, which accompanied them until they approached Scotland, where two UK Typhoons were waiting to monitor their progress down the west coast of Ireland, after which they headed south toward France.

At 1.57pm, two French Rafales approached the Tupolevs, which were just 100 kilometers from the coast of France. The two French fighters followed the Tupolevs until 2.33pm. “The two bombers then turned west along the Spanish coast, accompanied by two Spanish F-18s,” said the Spanish Defense Ministry. “Once they reached a point off the coast of Bilbao, they headed up to the

west coast of Ireland.”

Russian President Vladimir Putin has been accused of Cold War-style ‘brinkmanship’ after a series of similar incidents with NATO aircraft across Europe, with more than 100 Russian planes intercepted in 2014 alone.

Since then, Russia has fired dozens of cruise missiles from bombers and warships since it began a military campaign to back the Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad last year. Its planes have also dropped large numbers of bombs on Syrian rebel positions.

In November, Russian bombers flew more than 12,000 kilometers around the northern and western edge of Europe to bomb positions in Syria rather than flying across the Caspian Sea and Iran, in what was described by NATO as a show of force.

In September, two Russian Blackjack jets were intercepted over the North Sea by the Royal Air Force. In May last year, two Russian Bear bombers were tracked flying near UK airspace near the north of Scotland. They were escorted away from the area by Typhoons but were not regarded as a threat.

Most encounters of this kind have ended peacefully but last year Turkey shot down a Russian jet it claimed passed into its airspace while carrying out operations in Syria.

M

y thanks goes out to The Costa Blanca People for inviting me to the prestigious Pride of Spain Awards last week. It was an honour to see so many dedicated people from all walks of life being recognised for the hard work they have put in. A special mention has to go to young Tasha Lynch who won the Outstanding Bravery Award. If ever anyone deserved to be acknowledged for their positive attitude in the face of adversity it is her. Well done to her and her very humble father Andy who won the Carer award and said that he was only doing what any father would do.

You know by now that I am a great believer in supporting charities and on Tuesday you can do the same by popping over to The Emerald Isle where a whole host of entertainers are once again giving their services for free to help raise money for Help at Home. All the big names with be there to give everyone a great afternoon. If you have any energy left in the evening you can find the hard working Richie Alexander over in Lo Crispin at La Bodegueta filling the terrace with Northern soul lovers.

Inquest into British Mother’s drowning A British mother drowned in front of her husband after four Spanish lifeguards said she was fine because she ‘wasn’t waving her arms around frantically enough’.

Julie Dudhill, 57, from Hampshire, was swept out to sea in Alicante on 27th June after drifting just a few yards away from her electrician husband Andy, 51.

Andy rushed back to shore and alerted the lifeguards, but they said she was not struggling because ‘she would have been waving her arms about more.’

Even though she was crying for help, the lifeguards ‘did not seem to think she was in danger,’ Andy told an inquest at Basingstoke Coroner’s Court in the UK. It was only when Andy decided to try and save his wife himself that one of the lifeguards tried to swim out to her. It was too late, however, and her lifeless body was brought back to shore.

Andy criticised the lifeguards at the inquest.

He said: “We are keen beach-goers and surfers, and have been for 18 years or so.

It’s always been a choppy beach with a few waves but nothing that we felt was too dangerous.

“About 4pm or 4.30pm we went down for one more swim. We usually go where people are swimming and after about 20 minutes we decided to get out.

“I turned around and she was literally just behind me as we were getting out but in that short space of time afterwards she had difficulties getting back to the shore line and she said to me she was having difficulties.

“She was calling out and luckily in front of me were two lifeguards and I was nearly out so I quickly went up to them

and told them she was getting into difficulty.

“They asked if she was a good swimmer and I told them “yes she’s a good swimmer but she would not be calling out if she didn’t need help.”

“They didn’t react and stayed on the shore line. They suggested to me that if she was having difficulties she would be waving her arms about more.

“By that time, which felt like five minutes later, two more lifeguards turned up and she was waving at them but they were under the impression she was OK. “They seemed to think she was not in danger despite what I was saying to them. She was calling out to them. I can’t understand why they didn’t react faster.

“I could see the lifeguards were not doing anything so I went in but one of them called me back.

“Then one of the lifeguards took a leisurely swim out to her. The next thing I know the lifeguard is saying she needs oxygen. By the time they brought her back I just knew it was too late.

“She was brought back to the shore line, they gave her CPR and an ambulance was called but it seemed to take an age to turn up. They worked on her for about half an a hour or 45 minutes – by then it was already over.”

He added: “It’s dreadful from the lifeguards, especially when it’s on a crowded beach.

“I can’t understand why it happened with four lifeguards there. It’s bizarre as she’s a strong swimmer and medically fit, but it shouldn’t have happened.”

The coroner recorded the death as accidental.

Jamie Oliver causes uproar with his version of paella

A grandmother from the northern Spanish region of Asturias recently came up with a chorizo hamburger for McDonald’s, and now British chef Jamie Oliver has used the same ingredient to create his own version of paella, a classic dish from the Valencia region.

Last Tuesday morning, Oliver shared his creation on his Twitter account. It was just one of the many messages he regularly posts on social media, but this particular one quickly filled up with replies, mostly from indignant Spaniards who feel that Oliver has been disrespectful of Spain’s gastronomic traditions.

Good Spanish food doesn’t get much better than paella. My version combines chicken thighs & chorizo

http://jamieol.com/3vClFD #recipeoftheday pic.twitter.com/DD0HXY98pM But other people figured that if the media-savvy chef can get creative with Spanish food, they can get creative about their answers as well. Thousands of replies have made Jamie Oliver a trending topic in Spain after his paella elicited comparisons to artworks and even to Spanish politics.

One user compared Oliver’s paella with a botched restoration of a religious painting in northern Spain that attracted world headlines in 2012. Others made puns on the word chorizo, which can also mean “crook” in Spanish, and tied it in with the fact that the Valencia region was

long ruled by the Popular Party, many of whose regional officials are being investigated for corruption.

“You criticize Jamie Oliver, but the PP also adds chorizos to everything and they have 8 million votes,” reads on tweet.

“In Valencia there is more tolerance for corruption than for a badly made paella

by Jamie Oliver,” reads another One particularly inspired user created a paella with the semblance of Rita Barberá, the former mayor of Valencia, who is currently the target of a graft probe.

But there is safety in numbers, and Oliver should know that he is by no means the only foreign chef to have massacred a Spanish dish.

Business Profile

Off the Square Vicki and Mark at Off the Square have been in the restaurant business for almost 30 years and are passionate about good food.

Known in Los Montesinos as owners of the popular Bar Code, the team opened Off the Square in mid July and already the restaurant is making a name for itself on the local scene.

Incredibly popular is the set menus on offer with three options at €12.95, €14.95 and €18.95 offering a huge choice of starters, main courses and desserts.

Not only that, but there is a superb a la carte menu on offer featuring light bites and full meals, as well as a very popular three course Sunday Lunch menu.

The clientele at Off the Square are an eclectic mix of nationalities with many expat residents, holiday makers and occasional visitors passing through to sample the cuisine.

We asked owner Vicki, “If you were a customer, what three course meal would you order at Off the Square?” Without a

second’s hesitation, Vicki said, “Homemade breaded mushrooms to start, then the shoulder of lamb followed by our homemade banoffee pie.”

Describing the food, Vicki says it is fresh, homemade, European cuisine with something for everyone.

Off the Square can cater for groups large and small, parties, functions and celebrations with seating room for around fifty people or over more if a buffet style is chosen.

Coming up at Off the Square

are special pre Christmas lunches, starting on December 13th with bookings already being taken – and at just €13.95 per person, it is easy to see why. On Christmas Day itself, you can book in for a fantastic festive feast for €29.95 per person with bookings already being taken.

Off the Square is now operating under its winter hours of Thursday - Saturday 6 - 9pm, Sunday 1 9pm.

Mark and Vicki formerly owned Vialli's Restaurant Via Park 1, from 2010 till 2014 and of course, their most recent establishment, Bar Code, was the winner of the Best Bar/Cafe Award at the Costa Blanca People Culinary Awards for two years running in 2015 and 2016. There are great plans in store for Off the Square which they plan to “continue to grow both the restaurant and bar.” Given their success at Vialli’s and Bar Code, it is safe to say we can expect good things from Off the Square.

‘Stoptober’ Smokers’ cough getting you down? Want to improve your health? Cigarettes getting too expensive these days? Then now might be the ideal time to quit smoking for good as part of the 2016 Stoptober campaign.

The annual 28-day campaign set up by Public Health England encourages smokers to stub out the habit for good as part of the largest mass quit attempt in the country, with research showing you are four times more likely to quit in a 28day period.

Smoking can cause many illnesses that can lead to lifelong health problems for those with the habit, as tobacco smoke contains more than 7,000 different

babies and pregnant women.

Secondhand smoke can stay in the air for hours after a person has finished smoking and can be just as dangerous as smoking a regular cigarette, so the best way to protect others from harm is just to quit smoking.

Whatever your reasons for putting down the thin white tobacco ’n’ tar sticks during the NHS’s 28-day anti-smoking incentive Stoptober, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to know that making a success of it will be a monumental effort.

Temptation is on every corner, the breaking of a well-established routine, the end of your three-way relationship with nicotine and coffee. It’s not going to

mornings. I didn’t want to do anything less than get in that saddle. But I stuck it out and the exercise got a little easier each day. I began swimming too while on holiday and that really helped me keep my mind off the cravings. Pretty soon I was enjoying that post-exercise buzz so much that the last thing I wanted to do was fill my lungs with smoke. I’m not sure I would have managed it if I’d given up on the training.”

Ditch your smoking buddies for a few days Dave, couldn’t resist joining his colleagues for their sacred smoking breaks. That is, until he packed his bags for a smoke-free holiday. “The main thing

that I enjoyed it,” ex-smoker Ed said. “But for me, beer gardens and cigarettes were all too irresistible a combination. I had to man up and avoid my local for a while.

Once I’d been smoke-free for a month, I slowly returned to booze without the cigarettes. Now, I no longer associate a cold pint with a chest full of smoke.”

Expect a relapse Some people really beat themselves up after one relapse. But here’s why it’s wise to give yourself a break if it happens: it’s the little habits that creep back in that can make you reach for the smokes; such as the first time you go drinking postquitting. This is a common time to fall off the wagon and have a cigarette.

days you have been off the smokes, but it tell you how much cash you have saved having not bought a pack every few days.

You Won’t Know What to Do with All that Free Time “I started sneaker collecting to get through it,” says Ian. “All the time I used to spend waiting for mates in the pub, or waiting for a bus, or just generally bored, I’d fill with smoking. So I needed to do something else to distract me from reaching for the cigarettes. I began following loads of sneaker collectors on Instagram, and discovered a bunch of cool blogs that I read every day and spent hours digging through eBay. Basically I have an addictive personality, so I quit

chemicals, 60 of which have been shown to cause cancer.

Quitting smoking has been shown to reduce the risk of heart attacks and lung cancer, all while improving a person's general health and well-being, as research has shown that after quitting for only 20 minutes the body's blood pressure and pulse rate will return to normal, helping to improve circulation.

Taking up the Stoptober challenge can also have a positive effect on your friends and family as they will no longer need to put up with the dangers of secondhand smoke, which can be particularly dangerous to some of the most vulnerable in society such as children,

be easy – but it’ll be so very worth it.

However, kicking cigarettes is not easy; ask anyone who has stopped. Ex-smokers know precisely how hard things can get.

So here are some real-life examples of what you may find to be the toughest challenges to giving up and suggestions of how to deal with the hudles Morning exercise tough but worth it Many hope giving up ciggies will kickstart a new, healthy lifestyle – but soon realise exactly how hard exercise can be when you’re fresh off the nicotine.

One ex-smoker said: “A couple of days after going smoke-free I hired a bike with the intention of riding hard to break my old routine. Boy, was I grouchy in the

that had me relapsing was those damn mid-morning cigarette and coffee breaks with my work mates. It was really tough to get out of that routine and I fell down a lot. Luckily, I wasn’t far away from going on a sunny holiday that I had booked. I saw it as an opportunity to start a new routine so I made sure I flew out of the UK without a lighter. It turned out to be one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. It really helped and I came back home feeling totally refreshed and free from the grips of old habits.”

Boozin’ leads to losin’ “Cutting back on two of life’s evil pleasures was a massive undertaking, and I’m not going to pretend for a minute

Try not to get angry with yourself.

Being overly furious can lead to a ‘To hell with this’ attitude. Instead, avoid getting angry and wake up the next day and pretend it never happened, or just put it down as a bump in the road. If it happens too often, and you’ll know if that’s the case, that’s when you know something else needs to change.

You’ll Forget About Your Reasons for Quitting Stopping smoking make some people really grumpy. And with that grumpiness often comes a complete loss of motivation to keep on going with the big quit. Some use an app called Smoke Free.

Not only does it keep track of how many

one thing for something much less harmful. Plus, now my feet always look super fresh!”

Prime your plate One of the most common hurdles with stopping smoking is weight-gain. The jury is out as to whether people eat more because they are bored, filling the ‘gap’ left by smoking or because they enjoy food more – but more food equals more calories, whatever the reason. The best way to combat this is to ensure that the extra food is as healthy as possible such as fruit, fish and vegetables and to exercise. Or to join a gym, take a couple of classes a week or a daily jog to off-set the potential damage.

Lidl face cream is best moisturiser, again A face cream from Lidl costing just €2.99 has once again been found to be the most effective following research by a leading consumer organisation. The OCU carried out rigorous tests, which involved every moisturiser being ‘blind’ tested by at least 20 female volunteers over a fourweek period. None of them knew which brand they were testing out of the 17 creams which covered the full price range from a couple of euros to several hundred.

Ingredients were also examined by OCU researchers, with points deducted for those brands which contained substances that, although permitted by the European Union, are not recommended.

These include certain parabens, including Butylparaben and Propylparaben; the preservative Methylisothiazolinone, which has a high allergy-causing potential, and perfumes which may cause adverse skin reactions.

However, the OCU stressed that moisturising creams do not provide deep rehydration – only certain pharmaceutical products even reach the dermis, or second layer of skin, let alone penetrate it – meaning that moisturisers are merely cosmetic and those which promise miracle anti-ageing skin-repair effects are only referring to the appearance they give, which only last until the next time the face is cleansed.

Last time a study of this type was carried out by the OCU, Lidl's Cien Q10, in

a yellow jar and costing €2.99 came out top – causing stores across Spain to run out and queues to build up at the doors when the data were released. This time, the pale-blue Cien Aqua cream will be the one to fly off the shelves, and carries the same price tag.

Its sunscreen potential, or SPF, was examined and found to be very low, at just 4, when considering that an ‘average’ SPF is at least 15. However, it does include UVA and UVB ray filters and the

Lidl version ‘does not make false claims about its protection level’.

Cien Aqua does contain ethylparaben and methylparaben, both preservatives and often used in the cosmetics industry, but which the OCU assures are safe and efficient, causing no problems as long as they were used in measures of less than 0.4 percent.

Although the most expensive cream tested, La Mer at €225, does not contain parabens, its moisturising power was only graded as ‘acceptable’ compared with ‘good’ in the case of Cien Aqua. Lidl's face cream does contain perfume, but no

fragrance with ingredients that may cause problems for women with allergies.

Sensitive skin These 26 substances, which include Benzyl alcohol, Eugenol, Isoeugenol and Cinnamal, must be clearly mentioned on the packaging in accordance with EU rules so those with sensitive skin or allergies can tell immediately before making a purchase.

La Mer contained fragrances with ingredients such as Linalol, Geraniol and Citronellol, all of which can cause reactions in certain skin types.

Methylisothiazolinone is not contained, and the OCU strongly recommends it should not be employed in substances which will be applied to the skin and remain on it for any length of time – in fact, the EU intends to add it to the ‘banned list’ shortly.

Mineral oils such as Petrolatum and liquid paraffin ‘do not allow the skin to breathe’, says the OCU, but Lidl's moisturiser wasn’t found to contain any of these unsuitable ingerdients.

Cien Aqua contains glycerine, a natural ingredient which keeps the skin hydrated, but the ingredient list does not say how much. Pantenol or Pantotenic Acid – otherwise known as vitamin B5 – is mentioned on the main label as an active ingredient in the Cien Aqua, since it is often included in moisturisers as it helps hydrate and regenerate the skin.

Spain demands Brexit health payments Spain’s Foreign Secretary Jose GarciaMargallo is demanding Britain foots the health bill for expats and tourists. UK Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson is to meet his Spanish counterpart to thrash out a post-Brexit deal between the two countries.

Top of Boris’ list of priorities is reaching an agreement on healthcare for expats living in Spain. Margallo – never one to shy away from controversy – is demanding that the UK government foots the bill for expats using public hospitals. However Johnson is hopeful of reaching a ‘Canadian-style’ agreement where 99 percent of healthcare expenses are waived.

Margallo has not confirmed whether his plan includes or excludes expat residents who pay into the country’s social security.

'APPORTS'

O

ne of the most mysterious forms of unexplained phenomenon has to be that of an Apport, which is the name given to various objects that materialize in the presence of a medium from an unknown source. When researching the history of the apport, I found a couple of incidents whereby so called Mediums were seen to mirage objects out of the air as if by magic'. Their act was done in front of an audience and unfortunately these people were frauds and were found out as such. But what about true stories where apports have appeared when that person wasn't expecting it? This happened to me recently and not long after, my good friend Gillian Berridge told me about her magical find! Below are our true stories, I hope you enjoy reading them.

My recent personal account of finding an apport happened only a couple of weeks ago when I was sitting outside on the beach front at Guardamar with my husband and a friend having coffee. It was a lovely sunny day and after a very busy week I was feeling relaxed and in the moment. After we'd asked for the bill, I stood up to go, and saw something glinting on my chair.

At first, I thought it was a bit of gold paper, the shiny stuff that is part of a cigarette box but when I looked again I realised that the object was solid. As I picked it up, I saw that it was a perfect golden angel pendant set with beautiful little stones. My husband and my friend had never seen anything like it before - they couldn't believe their eyes, for there was nothing on the chair when I sat down, and of all the chairs at all the cafes on that very busy day, the angel appeared on my chair. It was definitely one of life's 'wow' moments! I took it as a sign of the angels and spirit thanking me for the work I do

on their behalf. What a beautiful gift to receive.

Gillian's account was just as amazing - here is her account written in her own words.

"Last Saturday I was at home looking through some writing of mine, sitting in a chair. Next to me was another chair. Suddenly out from nowhere I SAW and HEARD a coin drop out of no-where onto the cushion next to me. I picked it up and it was a 10c euro coin. I have had apports before, but never quite so blatant!

However, this was not the end of my experience.

The next day I was having lunch with friends. On the way back from the bathroom I saw to my astonishment another coin had landed on my chair - this time it was a 1 euro coin. It had definitely not been there when I got up or when I sat down to have my meal. All of us were completely astonished, and yet it never ceases to amaze me by the magic that emanates from the world of spirit. I feel these apports were meant for me as even more evidence that spirit are always around me, letting me know they have my back".

Although mine and Gillian's accounts are true, I thought I would share a couple of fraudulent stories of so called medium's who would 'mirage' objects as if from nowhere only to be found out the hard way!

In Berlin, in 1902, a medium of the time called Frau Anna Rothe was paid a visit by the police who interrupted a séance she was holding. As her hands were grabbed and she was wrestled to the ground, a female police officer examined Rothe only to find she had 157 flowers, as well as oranges and lemons hidden inside her petticoat! Needless to say, she was arrested; charge with fraud and after a trial lasting six days she was sentenced to eighteen months

imprisonment.

In 1926, Heinrich Melzer was exposed as a fraud as he was caught in the séance room with small stones attached to the back of his ears by flesh coloured tape! As I conducted my research, not all the accounts I read about were fraudulent. One of the most highlighted research projects called 'The Scole Experiment' began in 1993 and carried on for another 5 years as the team gathered video evidence of the manifestation of objects which were apported into the room. Amongst the items were several

old coins, and two newspapers from 1943 and 1945 which were in mint condition.

In 2011, a documentary film titled 'The Afterlife investigations' followed a group of sceptics as they visited a village in Italy to take part in a spiritual meeting in Marcello Bacci's Spiritual centre. The film crew were asked NOT to film the séance, but they did so anyway. This secretly filmed footage along with the Scole Experiment, are considered some of the best evidence ever, regarding the phenomenon of apports.

Share a shift scheme A special appeal for HELP Vega Baja People often ask why we volunteer but probably for each volunteer there is a different reason why they do it!

Volunteering for a charity is definitely a two way street because it is not just the charity, such as HELP Vega Baja that benefits by having another valuable pair of hands but also the volunteer too.

Volunteering provides the opportunity

to make new friends and socialise whilst at the same time often making a difference to the lives of others.

HELP Vega Baja are keen to encourage new volunteers into the charity and are introducing a “Share a Shift Scheme”. The scheme is quite simple – you decide which area of the charity you would like to “try out” and then “Share a shift” with another volunteer, already with the charity, for a

few hours. If you enjoy your shift, you can decide whether you would like to come back and join the team, try a different area of the charity or maybe join our “Friends of HELP” which means that you are called upon to cover holiday and sickness shifts only.

We have many areas of the charity to choose from including: Office Administration Front desk Information Charity Sales – sorting and pricing donations ready to sell in our shop Hospital Visiting Team Welfare Officer Support Campoamor Market Red Box Donation distribution For more information on any of the above, please contact Richard Garland, Office Manager, on 966 723 733 or email office@helpvegabaja.com

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Dear Editor I would like to thank oncologist Dr. Jose David Compledo and all the nurses and visiting nurses at Torrevieja hospital for their wonderful care and attention over nine hard years for my wife Alma.

Also all concerned at Avalon and Tanatorio Virgin del Pilar.

Thanks for all your help.

Doug Dear Editor Many thanks to Jean Gregory who held a coffee morning for MacMillan on Friday 30th September. What started as an idea mentioned to a few friends grew to over 40 people gathering in Jean’s home. The event was registered with MacMillan and had the support of Whispers Bar, San Miguel Tigers and Petanca Club.

Friends and neighbours contributed generously to the raffle and raised 385.00€ in just two hours.

Kind regards.

Dear Editor I just wanted to thank you for a fabulous evening at the Pride of

Spain Awards. The team have been on a high ever since and we have received numerous calls and messages. None of us I believe that go in to (or often “fall” into) volunteering do it for personal gain in any way so to have this recognition for their efforts is a wonderful compliment. The nature of volunteering often means that people only have the time to spare when they have retired and therefore the age of volunteers is usually over 60 when we should perhaps be thinking of putting our feet up! No chance of that but worth every wrinkle and bunion!!

Please pass on our appreciation to all those involved at the Costa Blanca People and for the sponsors of our award - Right Move. Thank you again - great organisation and a great night Kind regards Michele (Masson) President Dear Editor On behalf of myself and Paul a huge thank you for all the hard work you and the team put into the Pride

of Spain Awards. The night was fantastic and touching.

Congratulations to all the nominees whether they won or not. The service entertainment and organisation was 1st class. Thanks once again.

Regards Martyn & Paul Dear Editor To Barbara Arnold Congratulations for your hard work and results concerning prescribed antibiotics.

I have seen your very interesting article in the Costa Blanca People newspaper.

It reminded me on my case in 2014. I could hardly walk, after my house doctor in Switzerland prescribed me the antibiotic Levofloxacin from Helvepharm to cure a simple angina, for a whole year.

My Achilles tendon was after 4 days swollen.(See Photo )The Doctor did not admitted the cause could be from the antibiotics, but nor did he had any plausible explication. He

prescribed Physiotheraphie which

did not help at all, in my opinion.

I was and I am still convinced that the cause was the antibiotics Levofloxacin Helvepharm.

Thank you again for your fine work of investigation.

Regards Peter Moser Dear Editor Brilliant Bar Kenz raise €1,538 for the AECC again!

What a week for HELP Vega Baja HELP Vega Baja have had a week that will go down as a very special one in the charity’s history. On Tuesday 4th October they received an award in the Costa Blanca People Pride of Spain ceremony. The award was in recognition of the support they have given to the local community over the past 35 years.

To make the week even more of a resounding success, on Thursday 6th October they were invited to a presentation of Andy Ormitson’s charity Calendars at the offices of Aroca Sequir and Asociados where they were delighted to receive a cheque for €3,200.

‘Our volunteers are over the moon at the recognition and of course, the donation we have received,’ said Michele Masson the President. ‘The team work extremely hard every day and although volunteers do not do their ‘job’ for any reward, to receive this recognition is a great morale boost.’

It might have been an exciting week but the volunteers don’t have much time to bask in the glory. They have a fundraising quiz night on the 22nd October and their Christmas Fayre on the 19th November to arrange.

‘Everyone is very busy,’ says Michele. ‘So it was an absolute delight to be able to share the

good news with the staff.’

The HELP Vega Baja committee will now be discussing where donations should be allocated this year and will be pleased to hear from charities or individuals who are aware of good causes in the Vega Baja area. If you think you might know of one please contact Richard Garland on 966 723 733 or send an email to office@helpvegabaja.com The charity calendars are now available in HELP Vega Baja’s San Miguel centre for just 5 euros.

They will also be available in the Torrevieja office and La Marina helpdesk shortly. HELP Vega Baja would like to thank everyone for their support.

Mark from Montesinos asks: Hi Aunty, I have an odd problem with my internet speed. I have upgraded from a terrible 4Mbit ADSL connection to a 100Mb fiber optic system and I download all of my movies and TV series as torrents from a UK site but the download speed has got slower and will sometimes drop below 1Mb/sec and some of the large blue ray versions can take 24 hours to finish. I know this

isn’t normal so how can I up the speed to be closer to the 10Mb/sec that I pay for.

Aunty Says: Hi Mark. What The download speed/time for each film will depend on the movie website’s connection in the UK, and a lot of these sites will limit each user’s allocated chunk of their bandwidth.

This is to guarantee everyone gets a reasonable speed. Even though you have 100Mb per second available with your

65

provider this doesn’t necessarily mean you can download all files at that rate.

Helen via email asks: I have a Gmail email account and I have been having loads of strange problems where emails keep disappearing and some addresses are not on my laptop yet they are if I use my iPad or phone. If it helps I am using Windows Live Mail on my Windows 8 laptop and I think I have the basic email apps that came preloaded on my iPad and Samsung phone.

Aunty Says: This can get a bit complicated Helen so I’ll try and summarize it as best I can. I have mentioned in a few of my previous articles that accessing your emails via the internet using your browser (Chrome, Internet Explorer etc) is much less troublesome and easier to manage than using an installed email app. Your problem is fairly common and it is likely due to the fact that you are accessing your emails from 3 different devices and they must constantly syncronise with each other (via the Gmail server) to keep everything running smoothly. If one of your devices is not configured correctly, or wasn’t able to sync, then things can go south, I’ll give you an example. As things are, if you delete an email from your iPad, for it to also disappear from your laptop and phone, all three devices need to communicate via the Gmail server and sync their inbox folders etc.

However, if you start accessing your emails via www.gmail.com (must be on all 3 devices) then there is no need for any syncing because the inbox folder isn’t on the device, rather it is stored by Google on one of their Gmail servers. This is the essence of webmail and all the email providers such as Hotmail, Yahoo etc. all provide it.

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

WhatsApp kidnap hoax Police have warned of a hoax doing the rounds of social networks about a couple trying to kidnap children in school playgrounds by offering sweets, and insist it is not true.

Twitter, WhatsApp and

Under the Twitter hashtag #StopBulos ('stop hoaxes'), the National Police has dispelled a number of myths going around the internet in a recent post.

These include the so-called scam whereby 'cleaning product

number’, 088.

All of these are fake and are merely chain mail created by spammers and hackers, the police insist.Writing a message in layman's terms to ensure the population is fully aware, the force

Facebook posts showing a photo of the man and woman supposedly behind the kidnap attempts instructing recipients to pass them on to all their contacts have been causing terror among parents in Spain, say National Police and the Guardia Civil.

They stress that anyone who receives the message – even if it comes from a family member or their child's own school – should ignore it and not forward it.

sales agents' smear anti-bacterial hand gel on people's skin which is actually a soporific drug enabling them to steal handbags; the claim that if a thief forces you to draw money out of a cash point, you can raise the alarm by typing in your PIN backwards; the 'warning' not to flash at drivers with no headlights on in the dark because they will hijack you; and the creation of a ‘free accidentreporting emergency phone

tweeted: “Even if it's your mate Mari Carmen, your bruv-in-law or the woman who lives at number 5, don't believe false alarms and don't send them on to your contacts. Break the chain.”

The Guardia Civil, concerning the child kidnap scam, wrote: “Even if the school WhatsApp or your in-laws tell you so, it's a hoax that there's a couple trying to kidnap kids in schools. Don't spread it around.”

Toddlers hospitalised after eating cannabis Two toddlers are in intensive care in Murcia after consuming cannabis in separate incidents. The children were admitted to Murcia's Virgen de la Arrixaca hospital, whilst a third has recently been discharged.

The tot who has been released is aged one year and one month old, and the other two – said to be in a serious but stable condition – are three years old.

They were brought in on 20th September and 3rd October, medics say.

However, they are not from the same families, nor are the cases believed to be linked in any way.

Tests revealed the presence of tetrahydrocannabinoids – the main ingredient in cannabis – in their systems.

Social services have been informed of each case and are closely monitoring the children's situations, having also contacted the police as standard procedure.

Officers are attempting to find out whether the three children ate marijuana through their parents’ negligence or were even given it, or whether the incidents are completely accidental and beyond their families’ control. Depending upon the outcome of the official investigations, the children may be taken into care.

Drug driving An increase in drug use among drivers is being seen on Spanish roads, with – cannabis, cocaine and amphetamines being the most abused.

Twelve percent of Spanish drivers drive despite having consumed drugs or alcohol or a mix of both, according to a study from the DGT traffic authority which has appreciated a fall in positive alcohol tests but an increase in the use of drugs.

DGT has published the results of the prevalence of psychoactive substances in drivers (EDAP) for 2015, realised with the data of 2,744 drivers selected by chance on urban or interurban roads at any time day or night.

Of all the stoppages carried out, 323 tested positive for a banned substance, but the majority of the cases (10 percent) were for drugs and only 3 percent for alcohol, despite the latter is present in 29 percent of fatal traffic accidents.

Referring to reports from 2008 and

2013 a gradual fall in alcohol has been progressive, and drugs were increasing but failing to reach the record high in 2008.

The data from 2015 shows 11.8 percent

of drivers tested positive to at least one of the banned substances, 7.8 percent tested positive for one, 3.2 percent tested positive for a cocktail of drugs and 0.8 percent had combined alcohol with another substance.

Cannabis is the most detected

substance at the controls, with 7.5 percent positive, followed by cocaine (4.7 percent), alcohol (2.6 percent) and speed or designer drugs (1.3 percent).

The data also shows a gender difference with men (13.6 percent) and women (5.3 percent), and also reveals as people get older they are likely to change drugs and the age when people stop taking drugs has increased.

Regarding age groups tested; of those aged between 25 and 34 cannabis was the most popular (15.1 percent) followed by cocaine (7.4 percent) and those aged between 35 and 49 (0.9 percent) tested positive for opiates or methadone.

The DGT has been increasing the number of drug controls which in 2013 were only some 5,000 and last year it reached 76,000.

Focus has been placed on urban roads as towns and cities see higher drug usage and so the Town Halls are training local policemen on how to stop and test for drugs.

23,729 accidents road accidents last year Figures have been released giving an overview of the state of Spain’s roads in 2015 with 23,729 accidents and 971 deaths over the 12 months from January to December.

The figures have prompted the DGT, Spain’s traffic authority, to launch a campaign of intensified traffic surveillance, control and risk prevention which will run all this week.

During the seven days of the

campaign, officers of the Guardia Civil Traffic Corps as well as local and regional police forces will join forces for the campaign which will include: verifying that the speed limits on highways are met, that overtaking is performed correctly, that drivers do not show evidence of having consumed alcohol and/or drugs, use of helmets and restraint systems is in place, that documentation of the driver and the

vehicle is correct.

In addition to roadside monitoring, surveillance will also be carried out from the air with helicopters available to the DGT, including Pegasus.

The figures for road deaths in 2015 are higher than the previous year and show that secondary routes are where most fatalities occur, especially at intersections and hilly sections.

World Championship of Open Water Swimming comes to the Costa Blanca Benidorm is host of the last race of Oceanman’s World Championship of Open Water Swimming and venue of the Grand Final to be held on the 16th October.

Oceanman is an International Open Water Swimming Circuit which unites amateur swimmers with great world experts, and will reach its pivotal moment on the 16th October in Benidorm, host for the second consecutive year of the competition's final.

Benidorm’s waters will decide both male and female winners of the 2016 world circuit in Oceanman and Half Oceanman distances. All participants who qualified at least 10th in any one of the qualifying races of the circuit during this season can compete for the titles. All participants will compete under the same conditions, the winner in Benidorm will proclaim the title as the new world champion in their distance.

The competition is also open to non qualifying swimmers, these participants will follow the same courses, however will not opt for the final victory of the title of world champion.

Benidorm is the fifth and last stop in this growing circuit which has visited four venues across two continents (Europe and America). Benidorm, town of Alicante, will stage two competitions: The World Championship Final (Oceanman distance of 9.3 km and Half Oceanman distance of 5.5 km) and an Open Race, comprised of the same distances, but with the addition of the Popular distance of 1.5 km. One of the highlights of this race is Benidorm Island,

a tourist icon which is where the Half Oceanman distance will start from and where the turning point will be for the full distance Oceanman swimmers.

The starting point for this premier event of 9.3 km starts from “Mal Pas” beach, where swimmers will return to the finish line after swimming around Benidorm Island. The Half Oceanman distance swimmers will start to swim their 5.5 km’s from Benidorm Island, and after swimming around it will face the finish line on “Mal Pas” beach. Those swimmers who race the Popular 1.5 kms will start and finish from “Mal Pas” beach, a distance specially designed for beginners or new comers to open water swimming.

This event guarantees sporting and social success. The attractive venue, one of the most emblematic and touristic venues of the Mediterranean coast, highlights the importance of the event, this seasons grand titles are at stake and some of the worlds most specialist swimmers are guaranteed to take part in hope to win the prestigious awards.

Proof of the races international relevance and impact is that more than half of the swimmers who have already signed up for Oceanman Benidorm are foreigners, representing more than 20 different nationalities.

Oceanman is an event organised by the White Go For It group, responsible for other events of great sporting and social success such as the TriWhite Triathlon Cup, the Costa Blanca Bike Race (CBBR) a race in the UCI international calendar, and Pure Triathlon.

Not a Good Day The SAMM (www.sailingmarmenor.com) race day on October 2nd was set to be a good one when 10 boats and their crews registered to compete but from then on it started to deteriorate.

The forecast wind was SW to SE, so the course was set for this but the first race was delayed by 15 minutes as there was no wind and by the time a start was possible the wind had changed direction twice resulting in a reaching start. The two Sailfish were to start first but, due to delays in getting the crews out to the boats, Sirocco only just made it. For the dinghy start 5 minutes later many of the boats crossed together and there was much shouting for water. Mistral only managed to get to the line after the dinghies and then on her second lap missed the first mark. The delay sailing back effectively put her out of the race so she retired at the end of the third lap.

By the time of the second race the wind was NE 5 to 10 knots so the course was reversed. Sirocco was away first to be followed after 5 minutes by the dinghies.

It was a close start with lots of shouting as one boat was going in the wrong direction as its crew did not attend the briefing and were unaware of the change.

Thank goodness no damage was done. Each lap was closely contested with the Race Officer struggling to record the times as several boats crossed the line together.

Four quick laps with just seconds separating the boats corrected times.

During the morning the Race Officer had developed a very bad migraine which unfortunately affected his performance. The results were announced but later checking highlighted time recording errors in the first race which had to be declared void and maths errors in calculation of the second race which affected the announced result and showed that Shoestring Uno was the winning boat.

Nevertheless a good day out and some fine sailing by all crews.

The next race day is October 16th, 10am on the beach at CTD Los Narejos.

Beach Tennis National Championship at Orihuela Costa Orihuela Costa has hosted the ninth annual Spanish Championship of Beach Tennis. The Mayor of Orihuela, Emilio Bascuñana, and the Councillor for Tourism and Councillor for Sports, Sofia Alvarez and Damaso Aparicio all attended the Mapfre sponsored event which took place at the weekend at La Glea beach, Dehesa de Campoamor.

The Mayor said that hosting such a high profile event on the sporting calendar was a ‘great honour which positions our city firmly on the national sporting map’.

A total of 89 pairs competed from seven regions, with the competition starting on Saturday (8th October) at 9am and ending on Sunday when the finalist took to the court at 12 noon.

The Councillor for Sport said: “This discipline is booming at European level and Orihuela is honoured to have the opportunity to host this event.”

The Councillor for Tourism and Beaches, Sofia Alvarez, added that this event “is a great opportunity to further promote Orihuela nationwide, and to link our tourism with sport”.

The event provided a welcome boost to end of season tourism as more than 400 people stayed for the weekend, booking hotels and apartments in Orihuela Costa which the councillor said had provided ‘a major impact on tourism diffusion in our city’.

QUESADA GOLF SUPER LEAGUE Match 1 of the 2016/17 season. What would it hold with a new team and rising green fees. It was certainly an early start arriving at the course in the dark for an 8.20am 1st and 10th tee. We managed to get off to a good start with all the Captains paying for their complete teams in one go, at last! As the dawn broke the course looked in excellent condition and no wind. All the teams got away from the 1st and 10th on time and the scores began to ebb and flow in the normal match play way. The sun came out and left us with the perfect golfing day. As the teams finished and the cards were scrutinised our new team had bagged

A perfect day weather-wise and with the course in its usual condition, 54 members and 4 guests gathered to play a stableford competition under the leadership of new Captain Theo Boelhouwer. It seems members had no lasting hangover from the previous Saturday’s outgoing Captain’s dinner where Barry Roehrig handed over the reins to the new incumbent. Excellent scoring ensued, with a couple of members of the Society’s Pink Quesada league team, which overcame the trophy holding SMGS Blue team in Monday’s first round of this year’s Quesada League, leading the way, Glenn Rapley and Roger Webb winning their categories. Glenn had the joint best score of the day along with

Kyree Skarsmoen, their 40 points being followed by a host of other good scores, 29 members recording 32 points, the lowest category prize winning score, or above.

At prize giving members Richard and Camel McCann kindly donated to SMGS’s charity pot by handing over their favourite piggy bank, the contents of which, 125 euros, will be given to one of the next charities SMGS’s Committee determines to support. We thank them very much for their generous donation to a worthy cause.

The day’s competition results, by category and in reverse order, were the following: Bronze Category: 5th Chris Hamblett (32), 4th Mary Cleary

(34), 3rd Jackie Rust (35), 2nd Brian Butler (38), and 1st, with joint best score of the day, Kyree Skarsmoen with 40 points.

Silver Category: 5th Keith Wraithmell (36 on CB), 4th Nick Spicer (36 on CB), 3rd Ken Flaherty (36 on CB), 2nd Phil Birtwistle (39) and 1st, equalling Kyree in Bronze with 40 points, Glen Rapley.

Gold Category: 5th Bjorn Petterson (36 on CB), 4th Jamie Rorison (37 on CB), 3rd Darren Hancock (37 on CB), 2nd Eva Petterson (37 on CB), and 1st, Roger Webb with 38 points.

The Abacus was won by Les Wilton.

Nearest the pins on the par 3’s (open to all) went to Norman Cahill (6 and 13), Les Wilton (9) and Brian Mulligan (17).

The Best Guest was Alan McCombie, winning with 33 points.

Our thanks go to the staff at Villamartin 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 Theo a call on 966 723 630 to find out more about the society and its weekly golf get-togethers. Next week we will be at Mar Menor.

A great turnout of players for another new sponsor of our golf society, Stan’s Decorating and Valeting cup.

The day started with a full English breakfast in Imanyo’s, the format was singles full handicap Stableford with four blind holes drawn for double points after the game, we played with two categories, low handicap and high handicap groups with the eventual winner coming from either group.

On arriving at the course we received a friendly greeting from the staff, although we had not played there since January. We found the course a little tired with fairways and greens a bit patchy and bunkers without sand in, the

weather was cloudy at first but once the sun broke through it was perfect for golf.

Winner of category B was Chris Baillie with 24 points including 3 bonus points, runner up was another regular winner, Carol Murphy, with 21 points including 2 bonus points, the winner of Stan’s Decorating and Valeting cup and category A was Ian Chetwynd with 36 points including 8 bonus points, runner up and regular prize winner was “I’m back” Alan Rodger with 32 points including 6 bonus points.

Three of the four nearest the pins were won, hole 4 Carol Murphy, hole 8 “I’m back” Alan Rodger, hole 11 new, “Keep It In The Family” Eamon Murphy and hole 14 there

was no winner.

The presentation was held at Imanyo’s where good food and a few drinks were waiting. Thank you to Stan’s Decorating and Valeting for providing and presenting all the prizes, also thank you to Antonio, Norma and staff at Imanyo’s Bar for the fantastic food and great hospitality.

We ran two football cards the 1st winner was Owen with Chelsea and 2nd winner was Judy Evans with Reading, raising €40 for our charity, Caritas Daya Nueva.

Mashrafe and Sabbir fined, Buttler warned for breaching ICC Code of Conduct •

All three players also receive one demerit point each

Bangladesh captain Mashrafe Mortaza and middle-order batsman Sabbir Rahman have both been fined 20 per cent of their match fees, while England captain Jos Buttler has received an official reprimand for breaching Level 1 of the ICC Code of Conduct during their sides’ second OneDay International in Mirpur on Sunday.

Both the Bangladesh players were

found to have breached Article 2.1.7 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which relates to “using language, actions or gestures which disparage or which could provoke an aggressive reaction from a batsman upon his/her dismissal during an international match”, while Buttler was guilty of violating Article 2.1.4, which deals with “using language or a gesture that is obscene, offensive or insulting during an international match”.

In accordance with Article 7.3 of the revised Code, which came into effect on 22 September, in addition to the sanction imposed for their breaches, one demerit point each has been added to the disciplinary records of the three players.

While this was the first offence for the rival captains, Sabbir has been sanctioned for the second time since the introduction

of the revised Code. He had received two demerit points for breaching Article 2.1.4 in the series against Afghanistan on 26 September. As such, he now has three demerit points against his name.

Pursuant to Article 7.6 of the Code, if the three players reach four or more demerit points within a 24-month period, their demerit points will be converted into, at least, two suspension points which will equate to a ban from their next match or matches. Two suspension points equate to

a ban from one Test or two ODIs or two T20Is, whatever comes first for the player.

The incident happened in the 28th over of England’s run-chase when Mashrafe and Sabbir overreacted after Bangladesh’s LBW review against Buttler was successful with the England captain responding by making inappropriate comments.

The three players admitted the offences and accepted the sanctions proposed by Javagal Srinath of the Emirates Elite Panel of ICC Match Referees and, as such, there was no need for a formal hearing.

The charges were levelled by on-field umpires Aleem Dar and Sharfuddoula, third umpire Marais Erasmus and fourth umpire Anisur Rahman.

Commenting on his decision, Mr Srinath said: “The Bangladesh players overstepped in their celebration of Jos Buttler’s wicket, which prompted an inappropriate reaction from the dismissed batsman and required the on-field umpires’ intervention. We all want to see high intensity on the field of play, but only as long as it is not provoking or antagonising or disrespecting the opponent.”

All Level 1 breaches carry a minimum penalty of an official reprimand, a maximum penalty of 50 per cent of a player’s match fee, and one or two demerit points.

Italy 1– Spain 1– in Turin COSTA COBRAS RFC

A GAME OF TWO HALVES CHARITY FUNDRAISING See? You don’t have to buy the dreaded ‘Red-tops’ to read the best cliché headlines. But it was pretty apt in this case. Julén Lopetegui faced his first real test since taking over as boss of Spain’s national squad, and went with Diego Costa as his front man, leaving Alcacer, Morata and Callejón on the bench. Italy, for their part, were loyal to veteran ‘keeper Buffon. Early possession was monopolized by Spain, who swept forward with Iniesta and Koke prominent, and Silva a clever presence up front. A setback came after 20 minutes when Jordi Alba limped off injured, to be replaced by Nacho, but the Madrid man fitted in well,

through and took advantage of a rare and inexplicable error by Buffon, who must have been unsighted, to score easily and put the ‘Reds’ one up.

But then, as so often seems to happen when a side goes a goal ahead, they fell back on defence, started playing the ball around in their own half – and gave the Italians a sniff of a chance. A poor clearance from De Gea almost cost Spain dearly, then the dangerous Immobile, who was brought on for Pellé, was narrowly offside. Diego Costa was replaced by Morata, and Spain missed a chance to wrap things up when Vitolo shot wide with only Buffon to beat. It seems inevitable

making some telling runs, as did his colleague on the right, Carvajal. After 24 minutes a one-two by Sergio Ramos and Piqué saw the latter heading straight at Buffon, then Busquets saw the yellow card when he illegally thwarted an Italian counter-attack. For the home side, Montilivo had to go off, and was replaced

by Bonaventura, then Spain collected two more yellow cards, this time for Vitolo and Diego Costa, as half-time approached.

Nine minutes into the second period Vitolo ran

that Sergio Ramos will eventually concede a penalty, and so he did, after 81 minutes, although it was probably a somewhat harsh decision. (spotted by the linesman) De Gea went too early, and De Rossi scored at will. There was time for another scare, when Immobile scored an offside ‘goal’ for the Italians.

On balance, a fair result, perhaps, though Spain will rue their missed chances, and certainly hope to do better in Albania in their next encounter on the rocky road to Russia.

There have been quite a few changes with the club. At the moment Costa Cobras RFC have organised a raffle of signed home nations 7’s shirts with the help of local businesses selling the tickets, Victoria's Tearooms in Almoradi, the Bridge Bar in Rojales, Tim at Lucky Pearl on Moncayo Market, The Post Room in Benijofar with Golden Keys Property, at Elche RFC and at both the DEBRA shops in Pablo Bravo and La Marina, and from me at Zoco Market on Sunday. The draw is on 29 October at 19.00.

Also we now have confirmed numerous rugby teams coming over touring next year starting in March with our friends from Old Brods vets against Wondervra vets followed by Cannock RFC ladies and vets playing against Elche at the end of April. Finally two military teams will be coming over one senior and a ladies team in June and October. We also have more teams asking about touring over here as well.

We now have had some Spanish players training on the beach and have two more senior players coming training in two weeks time. We will also be having at the end of the month an ex army rugby coach taking the training with me, so will help to improve the training a lot and gaining a lot of experience myself.

Also the club are having a meeting with a local

businessman with regards to getting a permanent pitch and a place to hold the 7’s tournament in June again.

Costa Cobras RFC will continue training on Monday and Wednesday from 20.00-21.30 on Guardamar beach in front of the restaurants for the next couple of weeks in September, by the Red Cross place.

The club is also looking to recruit more players through training on the beach to get a team together to put into the Valencian league next year and enter the 7’s tournaments in the area next summer.

So come along and join the rugby revolution with this new rugby club from the start and be part of something new in the area.

All ages, gender and nationalities are welcome, from beginners to experienced players, the more the merrier, as we are based on the true traditional ethics of the sport. So come along and join the newest rugby club on the Costa Blanca. Also team bonding after training in the nearest bar for a drink and chat, just how rugby should be.

For more information about the club contact Dutch, on 692 767 242. Also I am down at Zoco market on Sunday from 09.00-13.30, so come on down and find more out about the club and rugby in the area.

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

Two British tennis players in the Chinese Open Finals? Yes, you read that right. It must be part of a government trade off or something.

Andy Murray won his fifth ATP title of the year and Jo Konta lost in the women’s final but continues to rise up the rankings.

She is now just the fourth British woman to claim a top ten place in the world pecking order.

Another F1 race, another Lewis Hamilton controversy. I don’t remember Nigel Mansell being like this. Rosberg won the Japanese Grand Prix and now looks certain to win his first title ahead of his “team mate” Hamilton.

Hamilton seemed to criticise Max Verstappen on Twitter after some “erratic” driving led to Lewis having to take “evasive action.”

If Hamilton starts calling people out for

aggressive driving then goodness knows what is going on.

Mercedes lodged an appeal, before withdrawing it on Hamilton’s request as the Brit realised that this was no time for complete hypocrisy.

England’s cricketers, well some of them, are down in Bangladesh and inbetween a security detail that the Royal’s would be proud of, are getting through some ODI stuff at quite a rate.

There have already been two matches played, and the results have split down the middle.

Sunday’s result will have been a wake up call to the stand-in captain Buttler, who cannot really react the way he did when given out.

Tyson Fury was taking cocaine to help with his depression. I am no doctor, but I am quietly confident that’s not how it works.

Las Ramblas Golf Society We started the week with a 2 ball better ball which was played in perfect weather conditions. The pairing of Brian Dent and Peter Wickham came home with an excellent score of 46 pts to win by 5 points from Geoff Biggerstaff and Bryan Neal with 41 pts.

It was the second medal round of three to find our Club Champion on Wednesday. Lindsay Forbes had the best round with a net 71 thanks to a few fortunate assists from the numerous trees surrounding the course which for most tend to be a hindrance rather than a help.

As usual there were 2 Categories on the day and the top three in each were as follows: Cat 1: 1st Lindsay Forbes 71, 2nd Brian Staines 73 3rd Ken Robertson 74 Cat 2: 1st Terry Cullen 72, 2nd Annemarie Weisheit 75, 3rd Peter

Wickham 76 2’s Club: Rod Doel, Marleen Billen, Terry Cullen, Reg Akehurst, Lindsay Forbes and Heinz Lei There was a shock result in the preliminary round of our Pairs Knockout Match Play championship with last year’s winners Lindsay Forbes and Maria Oldenziel being eliminated by Reg Akehurst and Heinz Lei 3 & 2. The only other match saw Ron Phipps and Hendrick Oldenziel beat Yvonne Phipps and Rod Doel with the match going to an extra hole. The majority of our members played a Mulligan with Doug Wright taking first place with 36 pts. Mike Chapman was second with 35 pts and Ken Robertson third with 34 pts beating Peter Radcliffe on a count back.

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

International breaks do not bring out the best in this column. If are looking to find out the results of Scotland, Republic of Ireland, Wales or Northern Ireland I would look away now, go and pick up a different paper and find them there.

You know it has been a quiet week when Swansea City are the biggest news.

Yes, Swansea decided to make Guidolin Guidol-out and appointed the American Bob Bradley to be his replacement. You may have picked up on the fact that he is the first American to ever manage in the premier league. It was mentioned once or twice.

Not that Robbie Savage was too impressed by his appointment. Savage felt his old United youth team-mate Ryan Giggs should not have just been given the job, but shouldn’t have even gone through the public humiliation of being interviewed for it. You know, because he is Ryan Giggs.

I can only presume that Savage was never interviewed for his multitude of

media positions because, frankly, I still struggle to see how he has stolen another living doing that. I mean, getting to play top flight football was one lucky bonus in his life.

Anyway, if Swansea play as defensive as BB was in his first press conference I think they will be ok.

Speaking of Ryan Giggs, he has clearly decided the quickest way to cram several job interviews in at once is to become a pundit for ITV. There he can drop in the fact he has his A License, tell everyone how he was fundamental to Jesse Lingard’s development and explain how he in fact turned down Swansea, rather than the other way round. Still, it’s not like Giggsy to tell a few fibs now, is it? That said, placing himself next to the expert analysis of Ian Wright did make the exUnited winger look like Wales’s very own Johan Cruyff when it came to all things coaching.

Giggs was at Wembley along with 81,000 others who clearly had nothing better to do in London on a Saturday night. Seriously, what have the England football team got to actually do to alienate the paying public? 81,000 to watch the national side labour to a 2-0 win against Malta? Madness. Malta will have gone

Eurogolf Monthly Medal

Rainham CC 241 for 9 Torrevieja CC 200 for 10 On Thursday 6th October 72 players took part in the monthly medal. As playing conditions were perfect some good scores were expected and the results didn’t disappoint.

For their first ever game in Spain, Rainham CC from Essex, took on Torrevieja in a 40 overs game. Batting first, Rainham scored freely until in the 17th over, with 86 runs on the board, Abdul was trapped LBW for 21 by Connor Wood. Biren continued to bat freely but was eventually caught by Alfie Court again off the bowling of Connor. Biren had scored 51.

The following batsman all contributed runs with Anish (24) Umer (30) Harry (21) and Jas (34 not out) being the best.

Torrevieja's bowling again relied on the juniors with 17 year old Ciaran Guichard taking 1 for 48 off 12 overs, 13 year old Connor Wood 3 for 23 off 6 overs, with the star being 13 year old Alfie Court with 4 for 54 off 7 overs.

Torrevieja then went into bat and lost their first wicket with the first ball of their innings, Parwitta Singh was next to go for 8, then Kailesh Singh for a quick fire 28.

Captain Chris Darwen came to the crease and when joined by Ciaran Guichard, they steadied the innings and gradually began to bring Torrevieja back into the game.

Indeed after 30 overs, they were the required run rate to win but Anish then removed both Chris ( 42) and Ciaran ( 42 ) in quick succession. Only the evergreen Neville Harris with 15 offered any further resistance and Torrevieja were all out for 200. Nick Thwaites, the organiser for Rainham, thanked Torrevieja CC for such an enjoyable games. He added they were looking forward to coming again next year.

away wondering what might have been, had Rooney been correctly shown red for his first half midfield tackle. To be fair to Rooney, that was the first and only time he has looked anything like Paul Scholes when playing in this deeper lying midfield position. Liverpool fans were calling for Rooney to be substituted midway through the second half, in fear that he might pick up an injury with their match against United on the horizon. People were saying that Rooney was instrumental in taking Malta apart. Really? Victoria Beckham sounds like she sings in tune when you put her up against a horse.

In international football it is important to have the ability to kill a game, and in England’s defence once they got their second there was no way they were going to let Malta get back in the game. One of the more annoying aspects of the performance was not England’s inability to put three or even four past their opponents, but the sound of that band still being allowed to ruin the atmosphere at every England game. That is normally the job of the players. Where is the Telegraph when you actually need them to do something useful, like find out that the trumpet player likes to take a backhander once in a while?
