Blocked road results in residents’ deaths

ESIDENTS IN ROJALES are petitioning the Mayors of Rojales and Benijofar to remove a curb that runs down the centre of the road that divides the two boroughs. This curb stops emergency services from taking the quickest route in life and death situations and the bureaucratic block has led to four deaths in recent months, the last of which was just six weeks ago.

The problem is that according to satellite navigation systems and Google maps you can drive from the Mercadona roundabout up Calle Valencia and turn at the tops to access Calle Castellon or Avenida Rio Tajo. However, there is a concrete curb which runs across the top of Calle Valencia and the length of Calle Castellon blocking the way. This route is the quickest way from local towns and main routes such as Quesada, Benijofar, Algorfa, AP7 and CV95 to the some 600 residents that live in the Atalaya Urbanisations. Jennifer Foster, President, Atalaya 13, said: “The presidents of each of the Atalya urbanisations have been working together to try and get the situation resolved before there are further fatalities.” There seemed to be light at the end of the tunnel in 2014 when plans were

approved to remove the curb and install a roundabout to link the three roads. However, just as work was about to begin the project was halted by the Mayor of Benijofar. Frustrated, the residents wrote to the Ombudsman, who in turn asked each of the Mayors why the curb was there and why it couldn’t be removed.” The Mayor of Rojales supported the removal and outlined his suggestions of how this could be done, complete with technical specifications from the municipal engineer. The Mayor of Benijofar however, listed several reasons as to why the curb has to remain including flood water and the differing levels of the two sides of the road. Jennifer said: “There were no objections given that cannot be resolved; tarmac can be levelled and the road is sloped so rain or flood water would not be affected at all. It’s

hard to believe that this is more important than people’s lives”. However, it now appears there is more to his stance, after it came to light that in April the Mayor, Luis Rodrizez, held a meeting of residents closest to the Benijofar side of the border. Around 80 people attended and 76 of these voted against removing the curb believing it would encourage increased through traffic and the Mayor does not want to go against the wishes of his constituents. Jennifer said: “We have asked the Ombudsman if 76 people have the right to dictate the decision, there are around 600 residents on the other side of the curb. The emergency services can reach the Benijofar houses because they are before the road block, not after. There are also very few houses on the road from Mercadona to be affected

by cars. We are also trying to organise a meeting between all residents affected to see if an agreement can be reached.” The group is still waiting for a final decision from the Ombudsman, which has the authority to have the curb removed and the road opened either for all traffic or for emergency access only. The residents’ only concern is that this is done before any more people lose their lives. Mireille Toddington

Weird news Piano new forte A pensioner has suddenly become able to play the piano after surviving a stroke . Roy Calloway, 78, had never been able to play any musical instrument until he recovered from the stroke. He was amazed when he discovered his new talent of being able to tinkle the ivories. Roy said: “I played and I couldn't believe it. It just came out naturally and I was in shock.” Roy, of Upper Cwmtwrch, Swansea, South Wales, had the latest stroke after a series of heart problems. He said: “I had a heart bypass around 20 years ago and ever since, I've had problems with my heart. I've had countless strokes, but this was the first time anything was noticeably different afterwards.” Roy discovered his new found talent after acquiring a piano from a late friend. He said: “A friend of mine passed away and he had a piano. He had been in a band and his son asked me to keep the piano as I had the room for it. I sat down next to it to have a look. I just wanted to try and played it. It was just as my friend’s son was walking into the room and he asked if I had ever played before and that he didn't know I could play. I told him I couldn't.” Roy has now replaced his friend's piano with an organ.

Woman trapped in car Fire-fighters in Torrevieja came to the rescue on Friday of a woman trapped in her car when it veered off the road. The driver, aged 60, lost control of the vehicle and slammed into a deep storm drain running parallel. The accident happened on the CV-95 and resulted in tailbacks that affected routes to Quesada, Habaneras and the N332. The road came to a complete stands still as fire-crews tried to free the lady from her car. When they arrived the car was

slightly tipped on its side and the angle had trapped the door against the concrete, stopping it from opening. Emergency service were concerned as there was rainwater in the channel. The incident happened about 4.00pm when, for unknown reasons, the driver lost control and ended up going off the road. The woman, a Norwegian national, was not seriously injured, although she complained of feeling pain in her upper extremities.

Watch out for charity cons Residents and holidaymakers up and down the coast are being warned that fraudsters are asking for money for non-existent good causes. Dishonest people have been going around streets, beaches and shops saying they represent projects, good causes or charities that don't actually exist and asking for money. The Guardia Civil has already acted against a number of Romanians who have been showing a list and asking for support for a non-existent group for the disabled.

Another con has been detected that is being committed by people with folders, especially on the beaches, asking for a donation for the lifeguard service, which is also completely false. Another is asking in the name of Torrevieja Town Hall for businesses to advertise in a magazine to promote a Traditional Games championship at the end of August. The Town Hall appealed to residents and visitors to be careful and not fall for these cons.

Neighbourhood Watch in Spain The Annual General Meeting of NHW in Spain will take place on Saturday 10th September 2016 at The Marina Club, Puerto Deportivo Marina International, Torrevieja – registration will be open from 10.30 am.

Palm protection The Councillor for Environment, Miguel Angel Fernández, has been overseeing the pruning and care of the city’s palm trees, which due to the mammoth task has been carried out over several weeks and ended at the end of last week. The task has seen around 1,800 trees being attended before the start of the school year, both in Orihuela’s Palm Grove, and in public schools and places located in natural setting such as "Villar Palasí" and "Fernando de Loaces". Councillor Fernandez said that this project has included the collection of the dates from female palms and in the

coming months the pruning of 2,000 more palms will take palce. He said: “It is necessary to care for and prune the palms to avoid the risk of falling branches and dates. This type of action is performed several times throughout the year. The municipal gardeners also have to address those trees affected by the red palm weevil, removing infected trees and replacing with healthy palms.” Councillor added that the government team is excited to make the ‘Palmeral’ the

‘green lung’ of our town with the recovery of traditional skills such as palmereros, basketry and other practices related to the natural setting, which we believe have a high value to the heritage of our city.” Along these lines, Councillor Fernandez has arranged, along with the Department of Education for school viewing tours to to take place so that children will ‘know and appreciate this beautiful palm grove and understand its importance to Orihuela’.

Specialist workers

The works are being carried out by

professionals palmereros, while the pruning project is carried out by fourteen gardeners from the municipal brigade, thanks to the grant from the Public State Employment Service (SEPE), received by the City. The grant was specifically awarded to maintain the health and condition of extensive green spaces and semi-urban public spaces in the villages and coastal urbanisations of Orihuela for three months.

Stolen bicycles found ■ SUZANNE O’CONNELL

suzanne@costablancapeople.com

The Guardia Civil has detained in Torrevieja two men of Spanish nationality of 31 and 36 years old.

he men have been accused of stealing at least 16 bicycles, including two racing models worth €6,500. A denuncia was made and police officers investigated the complaint which resulted in the two men, who both have previous convictions, being arrested. Security cameras installed in the community where one of the last bikes was stolen, were key in identifying the suspects. During the investigation, the men confessed to the officers that the bikes were sold immediately afterwards to another man of Moroccan nationality who had collected a considerable number of bicycles and transferred them to Africa to sell. The exact number of bicycles stolen and sold abroad in this way is unknown. Once the warehouse where the bikes were taken was located, the police were able to recover around 16 of them with a total value of more than €11,000. The actual amount taken by the thieves themselves was relatively low. It emerged that they had sold the racing models at a value of €6,500 for as little as €150.

School day in October The details of how schools in the Valencian region should operate in October have not yet been finalised. In September the change over to the continuous school day must be voted on by parents of children attending each school who has requested and been granted permission to change. However, the exact format of this is still under discussion and is causing some concern.

return home whilst others can stay for lunch and receive extra curricular activities until 5pm. There are 257 schools in the province of Alicante who have been authorised to take a vote on adopting the new system on the 15th September. The majority of these have opted to give the responsibility for the extra curricular activities in the afternoon each day to the same organisation that currently provides them over lunchtime. There is some concern as to what the quality of these activities will now be. Parent associations are asking, where volunteers are taking the extra curricular classes, what will happen if they are ill or can

There are several impediments to the change over. One of which is the need to provide childcare from 3pm to 5pm, for those wanting it, without charge. Previously the school day ran from 9am until 12.30pm with a break for lunch and followed by an afternoon session from 3pm until 4.30pm. It has been proposed that there should now be no midday break in a bid to avoid children who don’t want to stay for lunch having to leave school at 12.30pm to return at 3pm for only one and a half hours. Instead the official school day would finish at 2pm with some children able to choose to leave the premises and

no longer take them? Basing everything on a voluntary basis is dangerous in terms of its sustainability and accountability. Instead, La federación de padres (Federation of parents) is asking that there should be a contribution from the authorities towards the provision of this extra-curricular activity. They would like to see a better quality of activity guaranteed through the payment of monitors. With very little time left, the arrangements around the new school day still seem to be far from secure.

The two arrested men have been charged, however, the receiver of the stolen goods has yet to be arrested. Currently, five of the bicycles have been returned to their owners and the police are asking for the collaboration of the towns’ people in identifying the remaining bicycles. Bicycles are at particular risk of being stolen in the area and the Guardia Civil advise owners to: • Note the brand, model and serial number in order to aid identification if the bike is stolen • Take a photo of any valuable items, such as a bikes • Use locks and security devices if you do have to leave your bike unattended • Keep the invoice and proof of payment • If you notice someone suspicious, take their details such as description, vehicle details or other means of transport they are using. Note the direction in which they leave and advise the police or security services immediately. • Note any particular characteristics of your bike that can distinguish it and make it easier to recover and identify With everyone’s vigilance it is possible to reduce the number of these common and annoying crimes.

Weird news He said: “It's lovely and it has a beautiful sound.” He said he had not gained any other skills since his stroke. “I haven't found anything else I can do that I couldn't before since having the stroke. But to be able to play the piano like this is enough.”

Up to your neck in it A man became stuck in a public toilet and had to be rescued by fireman after he climbed in the tank to reach his friend's mobile phone. Cato Berntsen Larsen, 20, was able to climb through the toilet seat opening to recover the phone, which was lying at the bottom of the outhouse. However, he was unable to climb back out again and needed the help of the emergency services. Firemen in Norway came to his rescue as he reported feeling ‘animals’ crawling on his body with ‘faeces up to his thighs’ and began feeling sick. “First we tried to get the phone with a stick but that didn't work ,” he told local reporters. “So I jumped in. I was down there an hour, I was panicking, there were animals crawling on my body.” Cato desperately tried to pull himself out of the toilet, which is emptied once a year, as he began being sick. “I was obviously slim enough to get into it, but not slim enough to get out,” he said.

Weird New Housing Benefit limits news for claimants going abroad Lightning Strike Kills More Than 300 Wild Reindeer In Norway A lightning strike has killed more than 300 wild reindeer in Norway, in what officials described as an unusually large natural disaster. Aerial footage shows reindeer carcasses scattered across a small area on the Hardangervidda mountain plateau. The footage was released by the Norwegian Environment Agency, which said 323 animals were killed, including 70 calves. Agency spokesman Kjartan Knutsen said it is not uncommon for reindeer or other wildlife to be killed by lightning strikes, “but we have not heard about such numbers before.” He said reindeer tend to stay very close to each other in bad weather, which could explain how so many were killed at once during Friday's storm. Thousands of reindeer migrate across the barren Hardangervidda plateau as the seasons change. It is the second time this month that a large group of animals has been killed by lightning. On 25 August, 38 sheep died after they were hit by lightning in the Indian district of Kanchipuram.

Crocodiles Let Loose In Australian School by Vandals Police are searching for four men who let three crocodiles loose in an Australian school during a break-in. The young men were captured on CCTV smashing through a glass door at Taminmin College in Humpty Doo, 20 miles south of Darwin, early in the morning. The suspects, whose heads were covered with scarves, then dumped the reptiles one-by-one in the main office. In the footage, the men were seen ransacking the room, including throwing a computer screen on the floor, and about 30 seconds later ran off. Parks and wildlife rangers were called to the scene to safely remove the female saltwater crocodiles, whose mouths were taped up. Ranger Luke McLaren told ABC local radio the reptiles, which measured up to 2m (6.5ft) long, were in a poor condition. He said they may have to be destroyed. “Basically skin and bones, not much meat left on them; they were really quiet and easy to catch,” he said. “Really poor skin condition, like they haven't been kept in water for quite a

People living in Great Britain can now only receive Housing Benefit for 4 weeks if they are out of the country. Previously, housing benefit claimants could continue having their rent paid for up to 13 weeks. The new rules, which came into force last month, prevent claimants from taking long drawn-out trips outside Great Britain while receiving taxpayer help with their rent, as well as bringing Housing Benefit into line with Jobseeker’s Allowance and other working age benefits, which already have stricter limits. Those in receipt of Pension Credit also face a reduction in the time they can continue to receive their benefit whilst abroad, from 13 weeks to 4 weeks.

Minister for Welfare Delivery, Caroline Nokes said: “It’s important that the benefits system

is fair to those who need it and those who pay for it. “It’s not right that people could be abroad for over three months and still expect the taxpayer to pay their rent back home. “These new rules mean that people can still enjoy holidays like everyone else, but will ensure that the system isn’t abused.”

For further information on these changes or to find out what exemptions apply, contact your local benefit office. Those who are permanent residents overseas remain unable to claim incomerelated benefits for any period of time. These include benefits such as Housing Benefit, Pension Credit or Universal Credit. If you suspect someone of committing benefit fraud in Spain, call the Benefit Fraud Hotline on 900 55 444 0. Calls are free and confidential. You can also report a benefit thief online at www.gov.uk/report-benefit-fraud. Help make sure that benefits go to those who need them most.

Torrevieja earthquake relieves the pressure On Monday 22nd August there was a small earthquake in Torrevieja of 2.4 on the Richter scale. This level of earthquake is not unusual in the area with several recorded every year of a similar strength. These small quakes of the Vega Baja are considered to help prevent the possibility of a large earthquake such as that just experienced in Italy. The effect of having a small tremour is to release a certain amount of energy, little by little. The Vega Baja is one of the parts of Spain most susceptable to earthquakes. The small quakes help relieve pressure on the fault line which can then help avoid a build up of energy that can result in a large and more destructive quake taking place. However, this does not completely remove the risk of a large local earthquake occurring as happened here in Torrevieja in 1829. The director of the Unidad de Registro Sísmico (Seismic Record Unit), José Juan

Giner, explains that the small earthquakes of the Vega Baja relieve stress underground. This type of activity has been happening in the area for centuries. He adds that you cannot compare the earthquakes experienced in this region with that of Italy because they are two completely different geological structures. However, a bigger earthquake cannot be ruled out. José Giner explains that at the University of Alicante they work in collaboration with the provincial fire brigade to record and analyse statistics through the use of sensors. Every year there are courses arranged for professionals on a local and provincial level looking at the risks and how to avoid them. ‘What’s important,’ he says ‘is that we know what to expect, what steps to take if it happens and which zones might be most affected.’ Suzanne O’Connell

Brits in balcony jumping shame

The Town Hall in Orihuela Costa has launched a campaign to collect school supplies to help those in need across the area. Equipment such as pencils, pens, notebooks, dictionaries, rucksacks are all being requested. In addition children’s hygiene products such as toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo, shower gel and deodorant are also needed. Those wishing to help can leave their

When it comes to the Spanish balconyjumping craze, most are drunk Brits, according to a recent study. They're young, mostly British, on holiday, drunk and sometimes high, and they decide to jump from their hotel or apartment balcony into the pool. But some miss and end up in hospital... or worse, dead. The so-called‘balconing’craze has taken off to such an extent in Spain's Balearic Islands that doctors at the Son Espases hospital in Palma de Majorca - a major trauma centre - decided to study what they term the ‘endemic’ phenomenon. “It's only the tip of the iceberg of a major phenomenon which is low-cost tourism involving young people who come here for the sun, beach and to consume alcohol in excess,” says Juan Jose Segura, a surgeon and the study's lead author. “All these people run the risk of suffering various accidents, traffic accidents, bar brawls... Everything revolves around alcohol consumption.” The 2010-2015 study only covers patients who were treated in hospital and

gifts at the Tourist Centre or International Residents Office in the Town Hall in Orihuela Costa until Tuesday 6th September from Monday to Friday from 8.30am until 2pm.

not those who died while ‘balconing’ - a term that refers to people who throw themselves into pools or fall while trying to get to another balcony or simply leaning over.

LIBRARY IMAGE: THE ‘DOWN’ SIDE OF JUMPING!

Altogether, the hospital treated 46 patients during that time, more than 60 percent of whom were British, followed by Germans and then Spaniards, the study found. Only one woman was involved, all

the others were men, aged 24 on average. The fall itself was from an average height of eight metres (26 feet). Alcohol was involved almost every time, and in close to 40 percent of the cases, drugs also played a role. Altogether, the craze has cost 1.5 million euros in hospital fees, says Xavier Gonzalez, head of surgery at Son Espases who also participated in the study, as patients can remain in intensive care for a long time, some ending up paraplegic. It is unclear exactly how many people have died from ‘balconing’, but Spanish media have reported more than a dozen deaths over the past five years. “Initially, we had expected to find that these people had some sort of mental problem, or that they drunk a lot of alcohol on a daily basis,” says Segura. ““But no, these are normal guys who in a festive context take bad decisions.” ‘Balconing’ also happens on Spain's north-eastern Costa Brava, but it is most prevalent in the Balearic archipelago, which includes Magaluf and Ibiza among its famous resorts which attract millions of visitors every year. Further afield, Bulgaria has also been hit by the craze. In a bid to curb the trend, authorities in the Balearic Islands have implemented measures printing preventative leaflets and handing out fines to people caught trying to jump from balconies. “As a precaution, when they see a group of young people arrive, hoteliers no longer put them on top floors but on the ground floor,” adds Gonzalez. Britain has also tried to warn its nationals of the dangers of throwing themselves off balconies. In 2012, the British foreign ministry published leaflets called ‘Booze and Balconies Don't Mix’, using the story of Jake Evans from Liverpool. Drunk, he fell from the seventh floor of his flat in Magaluf in 2011. “I hit every balcony on the way down, as they jutted out like steps,”he was quoted as saying. “I landed on a sun lounger which broke my fall and probably saved my life. I fractured my skull, broke front teeth which pierced through my upper lip, snapped my right wrist and broke all the fingers on my right hand,” he said. “The accident has changed my life... I have recurring problems with my back and right wrist and doctors have told me I probably always will.”

Weird news while, haven't been fed, and one of them looked to be blind (as a result of neglect).” It is believed the crocodiles came from a crocodile farm, he said. “We'll determine what farm they're from and we'll try to take them back to that farm but looking at their condition it's likely they'll have to be destroyed,” Mr McLaren added. Senior Constable David Gregory said: “The ranger that turned up was very concerned for them - they had their mouths taped up. “They haven't seen water for a long time and are undernourished.” Saltwater crocodiles are a protected species and interfering with them is a criminal offence, punishable by fines of up to £45,000 or a jail term of up to five years.

Works completed on coastal pumping station The Councillor for Environment, Miguel Angel Fernandez, has visited the Rambla Las Estacas where the channelling work has recently been completed protect the pumping station. The structure was in danger of collapse due to a recent landslide and the Councillor was accompanied by the manager of Hidraqua Juan Jose Alonso, who explained exactly what had been achieved. The repairs and prevention work required a budget of 111,492 euros, which was

allocated from the Sewer Renewal Fund. Juan Jose Alonso said: “The work has been carried out during the summer season as it is the season with the least rain, which could hinder the work. It was also necessary to finish them before the arrival of autumn and the chance of bad weather.” The wastewater pumping station is located next to Rambla Las Estacas at Mira de Orihuela Costa. The pumping station was left with one of its sides exposed due to a landslide on the slope of

the ravine caused by the erosive action of flood water. This resulted in a high risk of collapse of the ‘pump pit’. This needed to be repaired before a new storm of torrential rains, which would cause the discharge of wastewater onto the promenade and finally into the sea. To avoid the collapse engineers have run a retaining wall of reinforced concrete, measuring 53 metres in overall length and an average height of 4.5 meters, which will channel water.

Witchcraft linked to dead body A local diving group has made a gruesome discovery in Calpe after they found a corpse wrapped in a blanket and accompanied by objects associated with the practice of witchcraft. When the bundle was opened it contained a complete skeleton, a doll, small branches and the names of several people. It is believed that the body had been buried, in order to begin decomposition and then wrapped into the bundle the divers found. An instructor from Les Bassetes Diving Centre in Benissa, found the corpse at Roca Plana

del Penyal d'Ifac, in Calpe. The body was wrapped in a sheet and there was what appeared to be a bucket full of strange objects. The diver collected it thinking it was trash. However, when unloading at the port of les Bassetes, the diver and others in the group untied the knots of the sheet and were shocked and horrified to discover a complete human skeleton inside. The obscure objects found in the bucket, the way the body was wrapped and how it had been placed between the rocks of the Roca Plana points to someone having performed a ritual of witchcraft or a maybe a strange

funeral rite. In addition the bundle in the sheet, divers found a staff broken in half, which in some culture signifies the end of the road. While in the bucket, there were feathers, laurel leaves and the container was sealed with a yellow liquid. The site of the discovery, the Roca Plana, is accessible on foot from the promenade Prince Felipe, located in the southern part of Penyal d'Ifac.

Animal activists fight for paralysed dog Unattended, in a worrying state of health and paralysed is how a pit bull dog that can hardly get up lives in a Torrevieja urbanisation. The Animalist Association of Torrevieja-Guardamar has denounced this animal's case, distributing a video that shows it needs urgent veterinary care. They claim the dog is unhealthy and lives

in unhealthy conditions. It seems the dog lives with a family that is in a precarious situation. The case has been denounced several times, by individual residents and then by the urbanisation's community. This animal activist group has informed Torrevieja Town Hall and knows

All are made very welcome, and can benefit greatly from performing to the highest standard found on the Costa Blanca.

the Local Police have already been to the home but have never taken it away. It was concerned residents that contacted the association because they were worried about the dog's health and wanted to try and find a solution to the

situation. The group has slammed the passiveness of the council and urged the Town Hall to act immediately and intervene and get the dog to a vet urgently, which is the action specified in article 337 of the Penal Code.

Torrevieja tops country for residential violent robberies Torrevieja is the Spanish municipality with the most robberies with violence in homes so far this year, practically doubling the number in the second placed Sant Cugat del Vallés in Barcelona. Torrevieja has a rate of 58.56 robberies with forced entry per 10,000 inhabitants with 518 offences of this type from January to June 2016. Despite the high rate this is 4.6 percent less than in 2015, when over the same period there were 543. This data comes from the Balance of Criminality supplied by the Ministry of the Interior, and signals Torrevieja as one of the most unsecure towns in Spain. The municipality also has the seventh highest rates for crimes and misdemeanours so far this year and the thirteenth most for thefts. There were 3,407 crimes and misdemeanours, which is an increase of 3.1

percent compared to the same period last year. The security forces also dealt with: 73 robberies with violence and intimidation, 47 vehicle thefts, 14 drug trafficking operations and three murders. On the list Orihuela is at number five for robberies with forced entry in homes at 246. These were mostly on the coast, where they are more common than in the city or outlying villages. Orihuela also registered 1,798 crimes and misdemeanours from January to June this year, which is down 0.6 percent on last year. On the other side of the coin are the towns with the least criminal incidents, which are all below the national average of 33 per 1,000 inhabitants, particularly Cuenca (7), Castellón (7.7), Teruel (12.6), Lorca (14.9), Huesca (15), El Egido (17), Getxo (17.1), Gijón (19), Palencia (19), Alcoy (19.2) and Oviedo (21).

Beer prices affected by Barley price hike The strong rainfalls in Europe this year have affected harvest crops badly. France, the greatest barley producer of the EU has reaped its poorest crop in the last five years, while Germany has reported a 9 percent decrease in barley production. The Ministry of Agriculture in France estimates a total plummeting of production of 21 percent for the season starting in July. Future prospects are not looking good. As a consequence, the production of beer this year has become much more costly, as maltsters are paying up to 11 percent more for barley than they did last year. A decrease in supply while demand continues or

rises means an automatic increase in price. All this could lead to higher prices for lower quality beer. Sadly, the strong rains not only affect the quantity of barley production, but the quality of it, too. “This year it’s not easy to find good quality,” explains Andries de Groen, executive at Evergrain Germany. “Luckily, last year’s crop was a good one, and there is plenty of barley still in stock to soften the transition.” This in turn means that prices won’t be affected immediately. So, all in all, it looks like the blow to both price and quality will be a gentle and gradual one. Even so, there are many of us that won’t be too happy even with a slight rise in the price of a pint.

Lestwe forget... On Thursday 25th August the bombing of Torrevieja in 1938 was commemorated by the town hall. The bombing was carried out by Italian forces on the order of their fascist dictator, Mussolini. The attack left 19 dead and hundreds injured. Seventy eight years after it occurred the town council is intending to erect a memorial the exact nature of which will be decided through suggestions by the towns’ people. The survivors and the families of its victims were welcomed on Thursday at the town hall. ‘I was nine years old and I saw it when I was ﬁshing in the sea with my father,’ says José Torregrosa, ‘The planes started to drop bombs and I could see columns of water rising up and the ﬁres around Cabo Cervera. In the afternoon some friends went to the cemetery to see the dead.’ Those attending the ceremony yesterday are in agreement with the intention to erect a memorial. Many feel that until now there has been a conspiracy of silence surrounding the attack and they have not felt able to speak out about their experiences and what they saw. Many of those killed were standing in a queue to receive rations due to the food shortage. Only one person killed was over 60, the rest being around thirty years old and eight children, the youngest being two months old. Three of the dead belonged to the family of José Manuel Martínez who yesterday was also in agreement with the publication of the truth and breaking down the barrier of silence that has existed. Oral evidence The generation who experienced the horrors of the Spanish civil war are quickly disappearing and with them a vast archive of information about what exactly happened in these dark days of Spain’s past. Councillor Victor Ferrández is keen that the testimonies of this

generation of Spanish people be preserved. He wants to contact the elderly of the town to collect their memories and develop the town’s own collective memory of its past before it is lost forever. He wishes to; ‘gather as much useful information about the history and culture of Torrevieja as possible, with the aim of using and documenting this for posterity in the libraries and archives.’ He would like to see contact made with those who remember the bombing of 1938. Councillor Ferrández believes that it is important to have these testimonies in order to enable us to understand what it felt like ﬁrst hand and to check out the accounts we are given that can sometimes be hand picked to suit political motives. This project is in its infancy but it is hoped that once the testimonies of witnesses have been collected then there will be opportunity to put them together through exhibitions and documentaries. Spain has traditionally not chosen to dig up the past or investigate its war crimes, preferring to put behind it the many wrongs done on both sides. However, there are those who argue, that until this takes place its system will continue to suﬀer from corruption. If you think you might be able to help compile this oral account of the history of Torrevieja then you should contact the municipal archives on 96 670 44 18 or email archivomunicipal@torrevieja.eu.

‘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

Just me and my best buddy, Jack … I was ten years old the first time I made it to Croke Park, and that was only my second time ever to be in Dublin. Aunt Kathleen had brought me up for the weekend and when kind-hearted Uncle Bill Jessop offered to take me along on his regular trek to GAA headquarters, I felt as if all my birthdays had come together. It didn’t matter who was playing – but as it turned out, it was Mayo on a stepping stone to winning that year’s league title. They say you always remember the first time. The incomparable Con Houlihan wrote that the three saddest words in the English language are ‘the last time.’ If this be so, is it then fair to say that the three most appealing words are, ‘the first time’? These days I am the proud possessor of two premium Croke Park seats, right on the half-way line and I go to all the matches. Depending on which counties are playing, I have taken many friends

there over the past number of years. Some would be regular GAA attendees, the odd one a first-timer and occasionally I might have the satisfaction of showing the great stadium and our national games to a visitor from abroad. The guy I had with me last Sunday, for the Mayo/Tipperary semi-final was a rampant enthusiast but this was his first time. Jack is a Mayo man. Jack is my best friend in all the world at this time. Jack is ten years old [nearly!] Jack is my grandson. Jack was delivered to my house the previous morning. With the shackles of his sisters temporarily shed and being away on his own, Jack was a new man. Displaying exemplary behaviour and manners all day Saturday - something to do with the eve of the match excitement methinks … well, if you wanted the epitome of what the perfect ten year old boy [nearly!] should be … we had him for the day!

Sunday morning and Jack had his Mayo jersey on before he asked which trousers he should wear. He didn’t eat much of a breakfast and soon, with the good wishes of family and neighbours ringing in our ears, we pointed the car for Killucan. We drove to Maynooth, parked the car and caught the train to Drumcondra. The train was packed with fans … mostly Mayo, but a fair sprinkling of Tipperary as well. The atmosphere was terrific, as it usually is – but you can only imagine what it feels like for a ten years old fan ‘the first time.’ Dorset Street was crowded and we were enveloped in a crescendo of noise and flag-waving as we chartered our way gingerly through the throngs and traffic. Jack held my hand tightly and I felt the quiver of excited anticipation transfer from his arm to mine … leaving me with what must be the symptoms of an enlarged heart. I told the nice lady checking the tickets that it was this young fan’s ‘first

time’ and she welcomed Jack to Croke Park, told him to enjoy his day and that she ‘hoped Mayo would win’. Jack waved to a few friends from Westport and he was really chuffed when his school teacher, Mr Sammon spotted him and gave him a thumbs up. Mayo had to win, but one could not but feel for Tipperary. What a breath of fresh air they have brought to football this year. After the minor match, my buddy and I ate lunch in the restaurant and some old men chatted the first-timer for his verdict on the battle about to commence. It is hungry work chatting up and cheering on your county men. This time Jack got the result he wanted. It won’t always be this way, I told him. We came back the same way we went. Hoarse and happy. On arriving home, ‘Papam’ (that’s the name Jack gave his granny at age two – and consequently all five grandchildren

now use) asked Jack about his day. His detail were amazing – including things I never notice. ‘The Tall Trees’ played music at half time and it was the 130th year that the Artane Band play Croke Park’, were some of the news items he told her. I don’t think that will be the last time that Jack and I will attend a match together. I have forgotten most of the matches I ever watched, but I won’t forget this one. I don’t believe Jack will ever forget it either. Maybe someday he will be writing a column like this one and describing the day his grandad took him to Croke Park for ‘the first time!’

The man who believes in nothing but himself lives in a very small world

WEEKLY EURO UPDATE The highlight for the euro came on Monday when the leaders of France, Germany and Italy met on an aircraft carrier to exchange pleasantries and discuss the future of the EU. It was the euro's only newsworthy outing in a week of European Central Bank silence and unremarkable €Z economic data. Preliminary purchasing managers' index readings from Euroland pointed to continuing growth in the private sector despite slightly decreased business confidence. The US dollar and British pound both did better than the euro this week, strengthening by half a cent and one cent respectively. There were no US data to help the dollar: its success was entirely the result of comments by Federal Reserve chiefs, who did their utmost to rekindle expectations of a 2016 rate hike. Consequently, investors have got it into their heads that when Federal Reserve chairperson Janet Yellen speaks on Friday (14.00 GMT) she will do so in a hawkish tone, upping the ante for an interest rate increase before the end of the year and perhaps hinting at a September hike. Whilst Ms Yellen herself has said nothing to encourage this thinking, the supposition is that her deputy's own hawkish comments at the end of last week reflected the view of his boss. While stopping well short of

promising a 2016 rate hike Fed vice chairperson Stanley Fischer gave a particularly upbeat economic view to his audience in Aspen. "We are close to our targets… I expect GDP growth to pick up… employment has increased impressively… I am an optimist." He left investors still uncertain about a rate increase next month but gave the strong impression that, if it were up to him, there would be one. Sterling came close to being the week's top performer – having put in the best performance among the premier league currencies – as investors remained encouraged by last week’s better than expected UK employment, inflation and retail sales data – news that came as a huge relief to those who had feared UK economic activity falling off a cliff in the aftermath of the Brexit vote. Much like its American counterpart there was no data released over the last 5-days to justify the pounds upward trajectory, which appeared to be the result of investors covering more of their speculative short positions in light of the previous week’s upbeat economic outlook. And it isn't as if there is any scarcity of short positions: official figures from the US financial futures market show that the number of shorts has increased every week since the referendum.

The Motorbike Challenge Father and son, Dave and Mitch Bull, plan to travel the coast of Spain and the border of Portugal on two motorcycles in just 23 days in aid of the Associacion Espanol Contra Cancer (AECC). En route they will be stopping at schools along the way to ‘collect’ plastic bottle tops that each school will have been collecting up until the time the bikers arrive. The bottle tops will all be gathered in a central place by the postal service and handed in to raise the funds. This challenge, which will take place in October, follows on from the duo’s Kayak Challenge when they raised €3,000 last year, by rowing 52 kilometres along the Rio Segura from Murcia to the coast at Guardamar.

planned route aims to avoid motorways, opting for coastal roads and quieter routes as much as possible. Dave and Mitch are covering most major cities in Spain, including the capital city of Madrid and taking in Andorra, visiting schools and raising funds for a very worthy cause that touches every family in the country. Dave Bull Said: “We feel that this is something worthwhile, and are looking for high profile companies to show their compassionate side by offering support and sponsorship to this initiative. The most important being the loan of the motorbikes for the challenge.” Anyine wishing to get involved in support of the

Dave and Mitch are both experienced riders, having raced on circuits up until several years ago and also having extensive road experience from exploring Spain and traveling to and from the UK to Spain visiting relatives. During the road trip they will also be meeting up with and riding alongside biking associations and groups to help promote the event and highlight the importance of safe biking. The

challenge in any capacity can get in touch with Dave through Facebook or via Costa Blanca People. The challenge will begin in Elche and head to Benidorm before hitting Valencia and Barcelona before tavelling through the Pyrenees. Pamplona, Bilbao, A Coruna, Madrid, Huelva, Sevilla, Malaga, Granada, Almeria, Cartegena, Murcia and San Javier are just some of the places on the route.

Keep honey bees from disappearing - create a bee-friendly garden using plants bees love Why should we make sure we plant bee-friendly gardens? Because thanks to a mystery illness called Colony Collapse Disorder (or CCD), they need all the help they can get. Bees are the prime pollinators of the planet. Since many of our pollinators are now scarce, we are dependent on the honey bee to pollinate our crops. Pollination starts when a bee crawls around a plant blossom. The honey bee is dusted with pollen. Then the bee flies over to another blossom with the pollen in its hair. When the bee lands, the pollen falls onto this blossom’s stigma. Now a fruit, vegetable or other crop can grow. Even though other insects pollinate crops too, without the pollination from the honey bees there would be one third less crops in the world than there is now. Worldwide honey bee stocks have been waning since 2004 because of CCD - a phenomenon in which worker bees from a beehive or European honey bee colony abruptly and inexplicably disappear. CCD has been observed infrequently over the last hundred years or so, but never at the current rate or distribution. And the problem is not getting any better. The cause or causes of the syndrome are not yet fully understood, and many scientists feel there are many factors causing the problem. Intensive farming techniques, pesticide drift and climate change are also being blamed for the sudden decline in the bee population. Aside from fundamental concerns about the survival of bee species,

stings. Stinging is simply not as common as many people think. Contrary to conventional wisdom, bees are not aggressive. Most bees are simply too busy to take notice of human observers. Females spend most of their time collecting pollen and sipping nectar from their favorite flowers, while territorial male bees are busy zipping back and forth, charging and tackling other bees and shoving them off flowers in a constant battle for dominance. Despite their seemingly aggressive behavior, male bees of all species are stingless. Bees are our friends so let´s help them. Marc Vijverberg

CCD is economically significant because many agricultural crops worldwide are pollinated by bees. That is why we should care about attracting bees to our gardens!

Here is what you can do to help: Bees are looking for two things when they visit your garden: Nectar which is loaded with sugars and is a bee’s main source of energy and Pollen which provides a balanced diet of proteins and fats. Bees have good colour vision to help them find flowers and the nectar and pollen they offer. Colours that attract bees are blue, purple, violet, white, and yellow. • Help stop the decline of bees by planting your garden with all kinds of nectar-rich plants. • Encourage them to visit a part of your yard or garden by planting a bee border or a bee garden, just as you would plant a butterfly garden. • Put plants in full sun and in a sheltered place out of the wind. Bees do not like to be blown around when trying to land on flowers and also prefer flowers in sun rather than shade. • Use many different kinds of perennials that bees like to ensure something is in flower every month. • One of the best plants you can use is lavender. Other plants that provide plenty of pollen and nectar include catnip, verbena, borage, toadflax, California poppy, hebe, weigela, scented geraniums and most herbs (Sage, rosemary, oregano, thyme, mint, etc.).

Did you know... • • •

• • • •

• • Lastly, protect bees from sprays or other insecticides or pesticides. If you must use a spray, try to use one that does not affect bees and spray pesticides in the evening after bees have returned to their hives.

If there is one big reason people might be reluctant to attract bees to their gardens, it can probably be summed up in one word: Ouch! However, there are a lot of myths and unfounded fears surrounding bee •

Bees are insects, so they have 6 legs (and two pairs of wings). Female bees in the hive (except the queen) are called worker bees. Only worker bees have stingers and losing its stinger will cause a bee to die. Bees have been here around 30 million years! Bees carry pollen on their hind legs called a pollen basket or corbicula. An average beehive can hold around 50,000 bees. Worker bees must collect nectar from about 2 million flowers to make 1 pound of honey. The average worker bee makes about 1/12 of a teaspoon of honey in her lifetime. The principal form of communication among honey bees is through chemicals called pheromones.

Guardamar hit and run manhunt A manhunt is underway after a Scottish grandfather was mowed down and killed by a hit and run driver in Guardamar. A British-plated white Land Rover hit Robert Sneddon, 61, as he was walking along the N332 in Guardarmar del Segura. It is believed that the driver was fleeing form or trying to avoid a Guardia Civil police check point when the incident happened. The driver abandoned the vehicle following the incident just after 10.30pm on Sunday 21st August. It is believed there were also passengers in the car. Robert’s daughter Mandy said in a Facebook post: “I am the daughter of the man left dead on the N-332 like an animal. I came on holiday for the summer so my little girl could spend time with her granddad. It was the worst news I have ever had to break or hear. “If anyone knows anything or can think of anything relevant please tell the police. The smallest detail may help. “And to the person or people responsible; if you reading this please come forward. You’ll have this on your conscience

Guardamar N332 for the rest of your life. My dad’s rearranged face will haunt me for the rest of my life. My family wants closure. Please. RIP dad.” No arrests have been made but the Guardia Civil have urged the driver to come forward, vowing: “Sooner rather than later we will catch you.” The tragedy took place at the 67.2km point of the N-332 and the police impounded the vehicle immediately. They have taken finger prints from inside the vehicle and are investigating the cause.

“We are in close collaboration with the British authorities to establish the name of the driver, who has a relationship with a local company, and to ascertain if he was alone or otherwise, and was the motive for the fatal attack” said a spokesperson for the local authorities.” The spokesperson highlighted that the investigation had been ‘delayed’ because ‘the contact and collaboration’ with the British authorities but the Guardia Civil is investigating.

Welcome to SAN MARINO with Vivalia Travel San Marino (officially the Republic of San Marino) is the third smallest state in Europe (after the Holy See City and Monaco), and claims to be the world's oldest republic.

San Marino (officially the Republic of San Marino) is the third smallest state in Europe (after the Holy See City and Monaco), and claims to be the world's oldest republic. According to tradition, it was founded by a Christian stonemason named Marinus in 301. San Marino's foreign policy is aligned with that of Italy, which surrounds it. Social and political trends in the republic also track closely with those of its larger neighbour. San Marino is made up of a few towns dotted around the mountain sides. The capital of San Marino is itself called 'San Marino' and is situated high up on a mountain top. The capital is surrounded by a wall and three distinct towers overlook the rest of the country. The site "San Marino: Historic Centre and Mount Titano" has become part of the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2008. The towns surrounding the capital are more industrial and generally not as attractive as the main city. San Marino is 20 times bigger than Monaco and half the size of Liechtenstein.

THINGS TO SEE AND DO You can see two of the three towers (as seen on the flag of San Marino). Simply walk around the city. The narrow streets are full of surprises. The walkways wind up and down the hillside in an interesting way, inviting exploration. Fish can be caught in San Marino lake in Faetano. San Marino has the euro (â&#x201A;Ź) as its sole currency along with 24 other countries that use this common European money. One euro is divided into 100 cents. While each official euro member (as well as Monaco, San Marino and Vatican) issues its own coins with a unique obverse, the reverse, as well as all bank notes, look the same throughout the eurozone. Every coin is legal tender in any of the eurozone countries. Prices for items such as disposable cameras and batteries are cheaper in San Marino than they are in Italy. This is partly because in San

Marino you don't have to pay the 22% iva (vat) that you have to pay in Italy. Also, price of cigarettes are lower than Italy.

EAT AND DRINK Obviously Italian dishes, like lasagne, spaghetti alla bolognese, gelato (Italian ice-cream), and whatever you eat in Italy. In addition, The local beer is very tasty. Spirits are also very commonly found, especially Limoncello, a lemon liquor. Try the locally produced wine or the coffee, like in its Italian neighbour, is superb.

Law change proposed to Drunk Brit spends nearly avoid Christmas Day election 30,000 by accident in Ibiza If, as appears likely, the Popular Party (PP) leader Mariano Rajoy fails in his bid to be voted back in as prime minister at next week’s investiture debate, Spaniards are set to be called to a third general election in a year – this time, on

Christmas Day. However, in a bid to avoid this extraordinary turn of events, which would be unprecedented in Spain’s democratic history, the main opposition Socialist Party (PSOE) is planning on tabling a legal reform that would halve the duration of the election campaign, which is currently bound by strict timetables – hence the 25th December date for the polls. Barring a change of heart on the part of the leadership of the PSOE, the proposal would be presented in Congress at the start of September, and its approval

would need the support of other parties and depend on the blessing of the PP, which could block it. At the two inconclusive general elections, in December 2015 and June of this year, the PP

won most seats in Congress, but fell well short of an absolute majority. Rajoy will be likely going to the investiture vote next week with the support of emerging centre-right group Ciudadanos, which is in negotiations with the PP this week over a number of points in exchange for its votes, including crackdowns on political corruption and greater financial assistance for workers on low incomes. But even with the help of Ciudadanos, Rajoy will not have the support of enough deputies to win the first investiture vote, which requires an absolute

majority. To win the second vote, at which a simple majority is needed, he will need 11 abstentions. The PSOE, so far, has refused to agree to abstain. If Rajoy loses the two votes, the electoral timetable will kick into action, with the third general election in just over a year scheduled for Christmas Day. The third elections will fall on 25th December due to the current legislation governing elections. But it was Rajoy himself who determined that this would be the date for a third poll, given that he fixed the investiture debate for 30th August. The Socialists have interpreted this as being a strategy on the part of the PP to use the threat of an election on Christmas Day to pressure them into abstaining. The PSOE’s proposal for a change in the law would see the election campaign cut from 15 days to seven, meaning that the election would fall on 18th December and not the 25th. Its success, however, will depend on the support of the other parties – in particular the PP. Even if the conservative group were to allow the change to pass Congress, it could still be halted or delayed in the Senate, where the PP enjoys an absolute majority.

A Briton found out he had spent 28,500 pounds buying a coach - after a night partying in Ibiza. ‘I was confused last night’ is the now famous phrase said by Davie Little the British DJ after he woke up on Wednesday to find a transaction on his mobile phone saying ‘You have committed to buy this item 28,500 pounds for one Scania Inizar Century Coach’ ‘I still can’t believe what I did in Ibiza. I was having good time in the Ushuaïa discotheque without a care in the world. When I left the club I took my phone from my pocket and I saw I had spent nearly 30,000 pounds on a coach. I really can’t believe this is happening to me, Ibiza ruins lives’ said the surprised disc jockey on Facebook.

It seems that Davie’s father had been browsing eBay and had come across a page selling buses and coaches. His son, without knowing how, had pressed the buy button, a very expensive joke. ‘I don’t know if I was drunk, and everything happened when my phone was in my pocket’ he added on the social media… and then asks ‘does anyone want to buy a coach?’ ‘I posted Facebook the morning after as a joke and thought it was funny, but it was crazy and now I am facing the repercussions. For the moment there has been no payment of money and I am actually in dispute of the transaction, and so all I can do now is wait to see what happens’.

Samaritans fundraiser More than 95 diners attended the latest charity night at Restaurante El Alto la Dolores, and collectively helped to raise 670 euros for Samaritans in Spain. All money raised is very beneficial to our supported charities. Despite being delighted with the money raised, organisers were a little disappointed by the numbers. They said: “Last August we only attracted 90 people, despite having, the ever popular Woody, so it seems that many of our 'regulars' are back in the UK, and holiday makers prefer the beach. We will be doing another fund-raising night for The Samaritans in November.” In the meantime, the next monthly charity night will be on Friday, 9th September, with Red Stokes. All money raised from this night will be going to the Children's Care Home in Elche. Tickets, at just 10

euros, which includes a 2 course meal, are available from the Restaurant, The Card Place in Benimar, and REDZ cafe bar in Quesada. This month's lucky winner of the Mediterranean cruise, donated by the Restaurant, was holiday maker, Lian McTigue, from Stevenage.

Foreigners among dead in Italian quake At least eight foreigners were among the 250 people killed when a powerful earthquake struck central Italy this week, officials said, as rescuers continued the grim search for corpses over the weekend. The bulk of the confirmed deaths 193 at the latest count at time of writing - were in the small mountain town of Amatrice, which normally has a population of around 2,500 but was packed with visitors when the quake struck as people slept in the early hours of Wednesday. Three British citizens were killed in the 6.0-6.2 magnitude quake, which had a shallow depth of four kilometres (2.5 miles) exacerbating its impact, an official from Amatrice told the BBC. The British foreign ministry did not immediately confirm the report, but Foreign Minister Boris Johnson has said a number of British nationals were affected. “My deepest sympathies are with the Italian people and everyone affected by the terrible earthquake,” said Johnson, who sent condolences to his Italian counterpart Paolo Gentiloni. Britain's Daily Mirror reported that one of the victims was a 14-year-old boy from London, who was visiting Amatrice with his family. The boy's parents were injured, while his sister survived and did not need hospital treatment, the newspaper said. However, it is believed that family

friends staying in the same villa died in the disaster. Two Romanians were among the dead, the country's foreign ministry announced, while four nationals were injured and eight more were still missing. Spain's foreign minister said one Spanish national had been killed, with Spanish media saying it was young woman of 26 years of age from Granada

Valiente Oviedo, had been living in Italy since 2009. Her son, Roberto Valiente, survived with minor injuries. The disaster comes seven years after an earthquake in the nearby city of L'Aquila left 300 people dead, raising questions about Italy's ability to prepare for seismic events. The earthquake has affected a mountainous and sparsely populated area, around 140 kilometres from Rome.

who was in the village of Illica with her Italian boyfriend, who survived. Canada and El Salvador both said that one of their citizens had been killed in the earthquake. “We share in the grief of the lives cut short by this terrible event,” said Canadian Foreign Minister Stephane Dion in a statement. El Salvador said the victim, Rosaura

Another devastating earthquake struck the same area in 2009. The historic town of Amatrice is among those that have been razed to the ground by the natural disaster. Since the tragedy struck the Spanish embassy and consulates have been in contact with the Italian authorities to check on the situation of Spaniards who could have been in the affected areas.

Corruption trials could hamper new government As if Spain’s interim Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy didn’t have enough on his plate trying to rally votes for an investiture vote in Congress this week he looks set to lose – which may mean a second bid in October – the upcoming trials of several senior figures in his Popular Party (PP) will further weaken his position in talks with other parties to form a government. Socialist Party (PSOE) leader Pedro Sánchez has cited the many corruption cases involving the PP as one of the reasons he won’t be supporting Rajoy at the investiture debate beginning on August 30. Similarly, Albert Rivera, leader of the emerging center-right Ciudadanos party, has obliged the PP to sign an anti-corruption pact before sitting down to talks on supporting Rajoy’s bid to form a government and end an eight-month political stalemate that has produced two inconclusive elections and that might well continue until a third poll, which has been provisionally slated for 25th December. Should Rajoy fail to garner the support he needs in Congress later this month, he may try again in October, after two key regional elections in September. The problem is that by then, the Spanish media will be focused on a series of highprofile trials of senior PP figures. On October 4, the so-called Gürtel case finally goes to trial, and is expected to last until midDecember. This relates to a kickbacks-forcontracts scheme that extended widely within the PP and that has become the biggest known case of party-related corruption in Spain’s democratic history. The defendants, who include a former party treasurer and an ex-minister, are formal suspects of 12 offenses allegedly committed between 1999 and 2005. Five former secretary generals will be called as witnesses.

This autumn will also see former PP treasurer Luis Barcenas stand trial for his involvement in offthe-books cash payments allegedly made over two decades to senior PP figures from donations to the party. At the same time, the anti-corruption pact with Ciudadanos requires Congress to set up a cross-party commission to look into allegations of illegal financing in the PP.

Immunity Then there is the question of what to do with the former mayor of Valencia, Rita Barberá, who has not been arrested or placed under official investigation, but in various surveillance recordings turned over by a former top PP official suspected is seemingly referred to by coconspirators as “the lady boss” and was fully aware of the alleged kickback schemes in Valencia City Hall over many years. Barberá, now a member of the Senate, enjoys immunity from prosecution, which can only be lifted by the Supreme Court at the request of a regional court in Valencia. The anti-corruption pact with Ciudadanos requires the PP to expel anybody accused of corruption. This autumn will also produce trials relating to corruption in the PP’s Madrid division, the Agriculture Ministry, as well as graft accusations against three former PP deputies. On 23rd September, former deputy prime minister and head of the IMF Rodrigo Rato faces trial over the so-called “black credit cards” issued to 85 executives and members of the board of the Caja Madrid savings bank and its successor Bankia between 1999 and 2012. Rato was in charge of the bank between 2010 and 2012. Bank officials racked up a collective €15.2 million in personal expenses that were paid for by the bank, although the money did not show up as earnings on their income tax filings.

Spanish headhunt abroad despite high unemployment

he Spanish job market is experiencing a paradox. There are 4.5 million unemployed in Spain, according to the Active Population Survey (EPA) statistics for the second quarter of this year. But while people are desperate to find work, companies say that they cannot find candidates to fill their vacancies; the reasons given being a lack of skills, experience and knowledge. As Ana Jimeno de la Casa, head of Repsol’s Selection, Performance and Development unit, explains: “We are finding it hard to fill positions that require someone who is highly and recently qualified, who has an international profile, speaks a number of languages, and holds a degree in finance-economics or engineering.” Meanwhile, the General Workers’ Union (UGT) points out that companies are asking for experience people can’t possibly acquire due to the temporary nature of current contracts. A total of 56 percent of companies recognize there is a gulf between the skills they are looking for and the suitability of applicants, according to the 2016 Guide to the Job Market released by the employment consultancy Hays. Consequently, they are casting their nets further afield. “We need to hire people who will optimize resources and improve efficiency,” says a spokesperson from global energy operator, Acciona. “We are attracting talent from the UK, America, Canada, South Africa, the United Arab Emirates and Australia.” According to Mari Carmen Barrera, secretary for social policy, employment and social security at labor union UGT, the government is not doing enough to address the discrepancy between what companies need and what young

Spaniards can offer them. “The cuts have meant the loss of 3,000 labor counselors whose job it was to study the demands of the job market. The cuts also meant job-training schemes being curbed.” For the few vacancies that exist in the under26 age bracket, companies are looking for highly trained and experienced employees. Santiago Soler, from employment agency Adecco, points out that for those over the age of 45, the situation is equally dramatic as their age makes them eligible for only 4 percent of jobs. The most employable age group is 26 to 35, which snaps up 61 percent of the jobs on offer. However, while Spain needs to renew its Education Plan and academic institutions are being asked to adapt courses to meet company requirements, IESE Business School Professor Sandalio Gómez believes that the companies themselves should provide training to suit their own needs. “In Germany, companies assume this responsibility,” he says. “They sign a work contract with their students. That’s why they only have 8 percent youth unemployment compared to Spain’s 46.5 percent.”

Labour reform Meanwhile, the head of UGT believes the government needs to address the situation by reforming the country’s labour laws. “The lack of balance between supply and demand is due to the fact that companies are asking young people for experience they can’t possibly acquire on temporary contracts [averaging 3.2 years, according to a report from website Infoempleo and Adecco]. Right now, six out of 10 jobs last less than a week and so it’s impossible to accumulate three years experience.” To reach a solution, Infoempleo’s director general Jorge Guelbenzu says that “companies should develop promotion policies and recycle the skills of employees over the age of 45 without worrying about whether they will go off in search of new challenges. The younger generation needs to be able to multi-task and there should be a lot of focus on digital and technical training.”

Brit owned elephant causes animal rights storm A campaign launched by Spanish animal rights organisation FAADA is denouncing what it describes as the ‘awful conditions’ of an elephant that is being kept on a farm in Caldes de Montbui, in the northeastern region of Catalonia. The British caretakers of the animal, however, deny the accusations and maintain that the animal, named Dumba, has more than sufficient space and that all her needs are being attended to. The debate has caused an animal rights storm which has been reported across the Spanish press. “We’re very fortunate to be sharing our lives with Dumba,” says Yvonne Kludsky, a Briton who has lived and worked with the 38-year-old Asian elephant for three decades. The elephant is one of the key parts of The Kludsky Family act, which the owners offer up for movies, commercials and other events. The animal’s caretaker and trainer argues that “Dumba enjoys a full life and is able to discover different places through her work, which is important when it comes to keeping her challenged and stimulated.” Kludsky, who grew up around animals, comes from a family with links to the circus, and defines her relationship with Dumba as “close, familiar, and loving.” She says that the elephant’s health has been supervised since 1982 by the same veterinarian, one who specialises in exotic animals, and that Dumba has everything an animal of her type could need. “Living together with animals is wonderful and

interesting, but it’s a demanding job, and routine is essential for them.” However, FAADA claims that Dumba is living in ‘awful conditions’, according to a statement on its website, noting that the animal’s living space is barely 100 square meters. According to the statement, FAADA informed the regional government of Catalonia of the case in 2010 and an inspection was ordered. In 2014, the couple caring for the elephant was pressured to meet a series of corrective measures and recommendations for Dumba’s wellbeing. Kludsky has responded claiming that the animal’s enclosure is in fact 550 square meters, and that Dumba also has access to a 7,741-square-meter plot of land full of trees and vegetation, which she can walk around when the caretakers accompany her. Kludsky and her husband George oversee Dumba’s feeding and cleaning, as well as taking care of things such as her nails and skin. “They have a right to their opinion, but they should get better informed,” says Kludsky of FAADA’s intervention, which has set into motion a campaign to gather signatures on Change.org after determining that “changes have not been made” to the elephant’s living space. Catalonian government sources explain that “having an elephant in and of itself isn’t illegal.” Currently, Spain’s Service of Biodiversity and Animal Protection, as well as the Department of Territory and Sustainability, are waiting to verify if the owners have complied

with the obligatory security adjustments, including the placement of ‘Dangerous Animal’ signs and a 2.40meter-high fence. “We’ve already hung the signs and erected an exterior fence that surrounds the estate, but we’re in the process of putting up the new fence,” says Kludsky, adding that they hold all the necessary paperwork to keep Dumba. FAADA’s statement reports that Dumba “spends over half the year in circuses across Europe,” and that “she’s forced to train constantly with her handler,” which has resulted in notable weight loss. Kludsky denies the accusations and attributes the weight loss to an illness. Kludksy recognises that the pressure of animal rights groups has produced benefits for animals in recent years, but she argues that “in this day and age, people have lost their common sense. People are more aware, which is good, but rather than banning animals from the circus, we should be improving regulations. When children come to see her, they’re given a short lesson about elephants that has nothing to do with turning a profit. The goal is to teach them that they have to love, respect and care for the animals, since in their home countries there are serious problems, such as the African elephant being hunted for its ivory.” “A happy elephant always needs to be moving – it’s when it’s still that something happens to it. And she’s always moving,” says Kludsky. “She’s like a daughter to us,” her husband adds.

Malaga named as a cultural hub by New York Times

The prestigious daily newspaper has published its third article this year about Malaga, focusing on the city's wide range of museums. The mayor of Malaga, Francisco de la Torre, wrote a message last week on Twitter celebrating the fact that The New York Times had written its third article about Malaga in seven months: “If they had told us 20 years ago, we would not have believed it,” he said. Shivani Vora of The New York Times wrote the piece in the travel section of the newspaper with the headline “A Cultural Hub Takes Form in Málaga”, focusing predominantly on the Centre Pompidou in Muelle Uno. The article discusses how previously Malaga was seen as the capital of the Costa del Sol, referencing the beaches that provided tourism for the area. However, Vora writes that today, “the growing number of cultural attractions here may be more of a reason to come than the soft golden-sand beaches and sparkling Mediterranean.” Vora continues by stating that in the last

decade, “more than 20 museums have opened in the port city showcasing everything from paintings by art world heavy-hitters to rare automobiles.” Two of the most important sites were created in March 2015, explains Vora, with the arrival of the Pompidou Centre, the first branch of the Parisian museum that lies outside of France, and the Collection of the Russian Museum St. Petersburg, also the first of its kind outside of Russia. This was “part of an ambitious plan driven by the local government to transform Málaga into a global center for the arts,” Vora concludes, noting that the city council spent over seven million euros to help set up these two museums. These museums have caused a “revolution” in Malaga’s tourism industry, according to Virginia Irurita, founder of the travel company ‘Made for Spain and Portugal’, who is quoted in the article as saying, “It’s become the place now where all the Spanish want to come and stay to see the museums.”

Spain leads world in organ transplants for 2015 Most of us have had a direct or indirect experience with hospitals in Spain, and know that Spanish doctors and surgeons are excellent at what they do. Therefore, it should come as no surprise that yet again, Spain leads in the global rankings when it comes to the number of organ transplants carried out in a year – a position it has held for the last 24 years. Spain is also one of the leading countries within the EU for the number of organs donated. According to the World Registry of Transplants, last year, in 2015, Spanish surgeons carried out a total of 4,769 transplants and 1,851 donations of organs. This is broken down into 13 transplants a day, consisting of: • 2,905 kidneys • 1,162 liver • 299 heart • 294 lungs • 97 pancreas • 12 intestines The total number of organ transplants carried out in the EU last year reached 32,707, while on a global basis 119,873 operations of this type were carried out, 1.65 percent more than in 2014. And figures for 2016 were up on last year during the first quarter, with organ donations increasing by 11 percent. If the rate continues as it is

until the end of the year, it is expected that organ donations will reach the 2,000 mark. Spain has a rate of 40.2 donors for every 1 million inhabitants, and shares the top ranking for number of donors with Croatia. Nevertheless, Croatia has only registered a total of 169 organ donations and 399 transplants last year. With 0.6 percent of the world’s population, last year 17.6 percent of all donations within the EU and 6.7 percent in the world were carried out in Spain. The statistics have also revealed that Spain also leads in the number of patients receiving a transplant, with 100.7 out of every 1 million inhabitants. This is way about the EU average of 62.4 and even higher than that of the US at 92.7.

Post-Brexit tourism Despite a devalued post-Brexit pound, British visitor numbers to Spanish hotels are up by 15 percent. The British may have voted to leave Europe, weakening their pound in the process, but Brexit hasn’t dented their fondness for Spanish holidays. In July, Spain’s hotels reported an increase in arrivals from the United Kingdom compared to the previous year, according to the latest National Statistics Institute (INE) figures. The United Kingdom remains, by a long way, the main source of visitors to Spain occupying 27.4 percent of hotel rooms. Once again, Spain’s tourism sector is readying itself for a record number of arrivals this summer, boosted for the sixth year running by ongoing security fears in other Mediterranean destinations such as Tunisia, Egypt and Turkey. The anticipated summer boom follows a record number of arrivals between January and April of this year: some 18.1 million, up 13 percent on the same period for 2015. “The

outlook is spectacular. Failing a catastrophe or some major security issue, we’ll beat last year’s record easily,” says Ricard Santomà, dean of the Tourism faculty at Barcelona’s Universidad Ramón Llull, adding that many airlines have lowered ticket prices to reflect the fall in oil prices. Next week, the INE will publish figures on the total number of visitors to Spain in July, taking into account campsites, apartment sub-lets, and holiday homes. The leap in UK visitor numbers for this year needs to be seen in the context of the pound’s depreciation in the wake of the Brexit vote on June 23, says the INE. The British are not alone in choosing Spain for their summer holidays this year: there has been a 4.1 percent increase in visitors from Germany; an 8.8 percent hike from France; 3.8 percent from the Netherlands, and 3.2 percent from Italy. The overall increase for July in hotel stays is 7.4 percent compared to last year, matched by a 6.3 percent increase in revenue per room, up to

€93.2 percent. Despite the increased popularity of renting apartments through sites like Airbnb or home-swapping, Spain’s hotels have thrived in recent years, registering one record after another. In the first six months of 2016, overnight stays increased by 8.9 percent on the previous year. In short, the hotel sector has enjoyed a good July: the increase in hotel reservations has been matched by longer stays and higher prices, says the INE. Four-star hotels have made the most money from their rooms, registering an 8.6 percent increase on an average €102.40 overnight stay. Two-star hotels have put their prices up by just 4.4 percent to €62.10. Top of the range five-star hotels, which cost around €208.40 a night, raised their prices by 5.8 percent on those for 2015. Spain has the most competitive tourism industry in the world, a global study by the World Economic Forum (WEF) has found.

The Murder of Sadie Hartley – ITV – 10.00 pm Dramatic documentary that tells the gripping story of how detectives solved the vicious and shocking murder of businesswoman Sadie Hartley, from the first call to the crime scene through to the convictions of the killers Sarah Williams and Katrina Walsh. As no-nonsense lead detective Paul Withers and his team piece together the evidence, they uncover a tangled web of lies told by Williams and her accomplice Walsh, who claims to have no memory of the crime.

Elche open day The second Annual Open Day has been celebrated at the Elche Children's Care Home, with fundraisers and volunteers invited to the Home to meet the children and see how the proceeds donated to the Charity have been spent. Those who attended the first open day last year commented on how many changes had been made to the accommodation since their last visit. They saw new bedroom furniture, bedding and sofas bought by the charity and also the sofas, chairs and garden stools and tables donated by the Royal Caribbean Cruise line together with the TV equipment bought with donations from the staff on the cruise ship last year. Guests were entertained throughout the day by D.J. and singer Jim, some of the children from the home gave a flamenco dancing display and there was singing from Paulino and a young lady called Bibi Martinez who, when she was told by her uncle about the event, wanted to go along and she sang for the audience whilst playing guitar and ukalele. During the afternoon the staff and children looked after everyone wonderfully and served guests with a delicious BBQ and everybody was presented with home made gifts from the children. It was a double celebration, as it was the President of the Charity, Dave English's birthday too and he was delighted when he was presented with a

birthday cake and presents from the children. Thanks go to new volunteers Jen and Roger who sold raffle tickets and Anne-Marie who went round with the collection bucket - between them they raised more than 480 euros for the charity on the day. Very special thanks also goes to Stevie Spit, Yvie Walker and Kylie Burgazzi, who despite having another charity event to dash off to, hot-footed it up to the Home to join in the fun and to see the flood-lights on the sports pitch which had been bought with the money they raised from their Palace Variety show at Benidorm Palace last October This now means that instead of being stuck inside the Home on long, dark winter evenings, the children will be able to play outside for much longer. Stevie also took a further 2,000 euros along on the day which was raised by him and his team last Saturday at the Villa Martin Plaza charity event - this will be used to take the children out on day trips during the Kylie, Annette, Stevie, Michelle and Yvie standing in-front of one of the spotlights. summer holidays which are 12 weeks long, and again means they will the Home this year on 18th September at not be cooped up in the Home, but out Benidorm Palace which it is hoped lots of at the cinema, Aquapolis, McDonalds, people will attend so please go along - it and lots of other treats which they will be a great night. otherwise would not have had.

X-Factor 2016 The X Factor is back on our screens and it’s the most anticipated returning music competition of the year with a brand new ‘old’ judging panel, a returning host and a few old tricks for this new dog of a TV show. X Factor if officially returned to ITV on Saturday – 27th August - at 8pm. Cheryl Fernandez-Versini , Nick Grimshaw and Rita Ora have all officially left the building. After a lacklustre year where the public failed to be impressed by the more youthful line-up, Simon Cowell has gone back to when the show was the biggest thing on British television, bringing back Sharon Osbourne in a triumphant return to the judging panel alongside Cowell, while Louis Walsh will also return after a year off. Making the show once again will be ex-Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger; ready to find the next Rylan. Speaking of which...

Now comedian Matt Edmondson and former X Factor finalist Rylan Clark-Neal will front the show on ITV2 which for the first time ever will be live from the very first auditions episode. And not only this but in a further revamp, the show is moving to an online sphere with its own dedicated online presenter too. Spandau Ballet star Martin Kemp's son Roman Kemp is to host the new venture while continuing to host his Capital FM radio show. Nicole Scherzinger is already beside herself with joy, believing she’s discovered “the new Rylan” – a crooner from Los Angeles called Prince who has flown over to take part in the show. As the initial auditions are filmed months in advance, contestants already know if they've made it through. In fact, dozens of them are preparing to jet out to

While Dermot O'Leary is another one making a triumphant return to the show after the same year off as Louis - it's been all change on the spin-off show again. Despite Rochelle Humes and Melvin Odoom winning critical and viewer praise for their hosting abilities last year, they too are victims of the revamp.

Judges’ Houses this weekend - which we hear will be filmed in locations like Los Angeles and Ibiza. Frustratingly, X Factor bosses are keeping extremely tight-lipped over who has auditioned and which acts are through to avoid giving away any spoilers before the show gets into its stride.

I'm a Celeb contestant Lady Colin Campbell attempts to transform a crumbling stately home back into a desirable residence in this one-off documentary. When Lady C bought Castle Goring for a knockdown price, the place was a complete ruin with a leaking roof. Undeterred, Lady C takes on the challenge of restoring this derelict money pit to its former glory, aiming to turn it into a home fit for a lady and an upmarket venue for weddings and events. Can she finish all the restoration work before the grand opening ball is scheduled to take place in a few weeks time?

TV PICK

MOVIE PICK

Part-dramatised documentary examining the intimate relationship between Adolf Hitler and his mistress Eva Braun, and the control she had over the Fuhrer and his Nazi Party.

Writer-director Peter Berg’s military action-drama, inspired by Marcus Luttrell's first-hand account of the actual events, stars Mark Wahlberg, Taylor Kitsch, Emile Hirsch and Ben Foster as US soldiers on a mission that goes disastrously wrong. It's 2005 and a four-man Seal team has been sent to Afghanistan to track down and kill the Taliban leader Ahmad Shah, who's responsible for the deaths of US soldiers and anti-Taliban locals alike. Marcus Luttrell, Michael Murphy, Danny Dietz and Matt Axelson locate the village where Shah is based, but their careful planning is destroyed when some local shepherds stumble across them. Voting to release rather than kill the Afghans, it's not long before their presence is known to their enemies, leaving the four Americans with frantic battle against the odds to extricate themselves from the desperately difficult mountainous terrain.

IS IT TIME TO COMPROMISE?

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

t this time of year many homeowners start returning to their respective countries, leaving their properties in the hands of their trusted real estate agent to sell for them. This is a regular occurrence and not a problem for any professional real estate agent. However, please remember when leaving your property on the market vacant, there are some dos and don’ts that you must consider before closing the door and saying Hasta La Vista. For example, I have had the pleasure of showing a vacant property where the owners had returned to their country, turned the electric off and forgotten they had left food in the refrigerator. You can imagine the smell that greeted us when I opened the door. Homeowners need to either leave the electric on, or empty the fridge and leave the door slightly open. The water supply: Many people like to turn the water off too when vacating a property. However, if you’re going to do this, please be sure to

let your agent know where the connection is to turn it back on if necessary. I was showing a house when the buyer desperately needed to use the bathroom. You can imagine my horror and her embarrassment when there was no water in the toilet and it wouldn’t flush. I was frantically running around trying to find the connection. This time of year, those little pesky ants are frantically looking for water and somehow find their way into homes. Unfortunately the only way to combat them, is to make sure the seals are tight on the windows and there are no crumbs left out anywhere. A can of bug spray left in the cupboard would also be useful for agents showing your property. Swimming pools: dosing them with chemicals and keeping the filtration pump on a timer, should prevent them from going the shade of the “Rio Olympic Diving Pool” ... green. Or even easier, employ a pool

cleaner to look after it in your absence, but please don’t empty them. Keeping them full will prevent any cracking and therefore, minimise potential leaks. Whilst your property is on the market, there is nothing more appealing than seeing the glistening waters of a full, clean swimming pool. And my last rule is always lock-up your home as normal, whether your property is on the market or not. Again, any real estate professional will be used to going into dark homes where the shutters are all down. It is never a problem for me and never will be. Like anywhere in the world, security of your home should always come first. By leaving your vacant home ready for a viewing, it will make it a more pleasurable first impression for any buyer and a happier experience for your agent. Think property? Think us, because life’s complicated enough! See our advert in the centre pages of this newspaper. www.homes4u.es

Irish schoolboy dies on holiday A schoolboy from Ireland has died in Spain, after days of fighting for his life in hospital. The 12 year old was saved from drowning in a swimming pool, last Thursday. He was then rushed to hospital in Barcelona. A team of Lifeguards and local Police tried to save the boy at the Guitart Central Park Resort and Spa Hotel in the Costa Brava resort of Lloret de Mar, after his sister raised alarm whilst they were swimming together. The Irish Department of Foreign Affairs, are providing consular assistance to the family. The boy, who is believed to have epilepsy, has not yet been named.

Magnets, much more than medals The 2016 Olympic games are over and the medals awarded to the top athletes. Magnets 2016 is also over for another year, yet unlike the Olympic games everyone who took part received a ‘gold’ medal. Through Olympic style games, songs, Bible memory verses, stories, quizzes and crafts the large number of children who attended each Thursday at La Siesta Church learned how following Jesus is better than a medal. The stories each week were based on the ‘Wordless Book’ which contains only coloured pages representing the Gospel story: Gold for heaven, Black for sin, Red for Jesus’ blood, White for a clean heart, and Green for growth. Each week the children made and took home a craft item which reminded them of the lesson they learned that day.

Then on the final day, Thursday 25th August, it was prize giving with each child receiving a bag of gifts for their attendance and participation. They were also awarded the coveted ‘gold’ medal - everyone’s a winner at Magnets This is the thirteenth year that Steve and IreneMaria Campbell have held the Magnets children’s club and over that time more than two hundred children have attended and aany return year-after-year. When asked what they thought about Magnets some of the children said: “It’s a good place to come in the summer and have fun.” “You meet new friends and get exercise during the games.” “I like to hear the stories and learn about Jesus.” “It’s free!” Watch out for Magnets returning next year.

POST HOLIDAY BLUES Returning to work may cause disturbances such as lack of appetite, muscle aches and irritability. In the case of children, before going back to school, these symptoms may be signs of bullying suffered in the previous year. The return to routine after the holiday period often leads to physical changes, such as fatigue, lack of appetite, drowsiness, muscle aches and fatigue; and psychic, apathy, irritability, nervousness, restlessness, hopelessness and sadness. Experts explain from hospitals Quirón salud Valencia, Torrevieja y Murcia. This is a state of malaise that appears accompanied by symptoms that hinder the return to daily activity. If the discomfort does not disappear within ten to fifteen days, you should consult with your doctor, because it could be that we are faced with a different process that will require specialized care, "says Marina specialist Sangonzalo, from the Clinical Psychology Unit of Hospital Quirónsalud Valencia. This phenomenon is relatively recent and is related to the final stage of the summer and Christmas holidays or those rest periods that equal or exceed one week. “The fact that it is now easier for people to express their symptoms with accessibility to social networks and new technologies, but in reality this syndrome has existed long before and was suffered in silence with the same frequency with even more intensity,“ explains Joaquin Conesa, psychologist at Quirónsalud hospital Murcia. About 20% of patients recover within one or two days and 35% can prolong this discomfort for up to two weeks. “In the worst case if after two weeks these

symptoms persist or new alarming ones appear you should consult a specialist in clinical psychology to rule out the beginning of a more serious condition,” advises Joaquin Conesa. “Generally this usually affects people under 45 years of age and those who make a radical changes to normal everyday life without pausing straight to a holiday lifestyle”, explains Marina Sangozalo, “Depending on each individual the return to routine can be perceived as an undesirable event or an opportunity to resume or start new projects. The way of facing the return for each person is either exciting or pure torture.” “With regard to children,” says the specialist, “we must be alert if, when returning to school, that if any unexpected separation anxiety, abdominal pain or undue fatigue and irritability appears, especially first thing in the morning that these symptoms may reflect a possible harassment that the child may have suffered in the previous year “. How to avoid the post-holiday syndrome Depending on the circumstances surrounding each person, experts advise attending the following steps: 1. Make a nice photo album in order to revive memories of the good times. 2. Plan incorporating a routine two days before the end of the holiday as adaptation period. 3. Gradually resume regular bedtimes and wake up times. 4. Program leisure activities for the first few days after the return. A good movie or a walk in the park can be very rewarding.

5. Sleep more hours during the first few days of returning to normal routine. You also need to rest after holidays. 6. Adjust your level of activity early mornings. Go from less to more, by doing so you will feel more competent. 7. Avoid white thinking (the happiness of the holiday) and black (the suffering of routine). Open the door to rewarding moments at any time of year. 8. Do not permanently complain. This will not help you adapt and will only make you feel bad. 9. Do not take vital decisions about future careers, during these days if you notice that you are very affected by returning to work ask for advice and wait to feel better. 10. Confront the return with exciting ideas and make sure goals are met. Do the same as children, resume your vital projects in September.

Top tip of 20,000 euros Celebrity couple Shakira and Gerard Piqué gave a private chef a €20,000 tip during their summer break in Ibiza, according to Argentine radio station Perros de la calle. Part-Colombian Latin pop-rocker Shakira and her Barça FC midfielder boyfriend hired a private cook to cater for them and their young sons, Milan, three and Sasha, one, whilst they enjoyed their holiday. According to the radio DJ, a friend of the chef, the latter told him that at the end

of the couple’s stay on the island, they were so pleased with his work that they gave him a hug and Piqué said: “Enjoy yourself, go buy yourself something.” He then put his hand in his pocket and pulled out €10,000 in cash – next, he put his hand in his left pocket, and pulled out another €10,000. Shakira’s and Piqué’s lavish lifestyle is the fruit of their many years – in Shakira’s case, decades – of global successes, which

show no signs of waning. The Liga, or premier league football season is due to start shortly and Piqué will have to be back at the family home in Barcelona for training, whilst Shakira is reaping the benefits of yet another hit record, La Bicicleta, dueting with artist Carlos Vives.’

Criminal caught holidaying in Benidorm One of the most wanted Italian mafia has been found holidaying in Benidorm. His name is Salvatore Mariano, is 40 years old and was with his family. Mariano is on the Italian list for the 100 most wanted fugitives. The member of the Camorra, Naples mafia, 40 year old Salvatore Mariano was detained in Benidorm while on holiday with his family, according to information released by the Italian Carabinieri Police. He is accused in Italy of being a member of a criminal organisation and drug trafficking. Salvatore Mariano has been â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;whereabouts unknownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; since March when he escaped a raid where 33 members of the Contini clan were detained and 20 million euros was confiscated. The recent arrest was coordinated by the Carabinieri and the Guardia Civil and was produced inside a luxury hotel on the beach in Benidorm. The officers pretended to be room service to enter his room and make the arrest. He is now at the disposition of the National Court which will arrange extradition procedures.

Michael via email asks: Dear Aunty, I have an ACER lap‐top with Window XP and a message “Low Disc Space” continually appears on power up. I follow the disc cleanup proce‐ dure but without success, and when I attempt to defrag, another message appears informing me that “there is insufficient disc space to allow defrag”. When I check available disc space there is very little available despite only 6 programs being installed as I have uninstalled and deleted all unnecessary programs and files. Also I cannot uninstall the Yahoo browser and replace with Google Chrome. Your advice would be appreciated. Aunty says: It’s time for a new computer Michael. Windows XP must be getting near 15 years old now and all the big players (including Microsoft and Google) stopped supporting both XP and Vista years ago. These particular errors mes‐ sages suggest you need to fit a bigger hard disk drive which

CostaBlancaPeople August 30th - September 5th 2016

will then involve a fresh install of XP and this is probably half way to the cost of a decent Win7, Win8.1 or Win10 laptop.

security apps seem to ﬁx so let me know how it goes and I can send you more detailed instructions.

Lidia via email asks: Hey Aunty I have a newish laptop with Windows 10 and following your help in an earlier article I managed to download and install Google Chrome and set my internet start page to the English www.google.co.uk search page. This has worked fantastic for a few months but all of a sudden my home page as changed and every‐ thing keeps appearing in Spanish and I’m now getting loads of adverts popping up. Every time I change the settings back to Google it somehow reverts back to this annoying shopping page. Help!

Nathan via email asks: Hi Aunty. I upgraded to new laptop which has Windows 10. On my old one had Vista and when I printed, a page came up telling me how much ink I had left which was really handy. Since connecting and installing my Epson printer on my new laptop this does not seem to happen.

Aunty says: Hi Lidia. This has all the hall‐ marks of some spyware/malware so do a full scan with Malware‐ bytes and your favourite anti‐ virus program and see if that clears the problem. There is some spyware doing the rounds that makes changes to your computer that none of the

Aunty says: Hi Nathan. When you ﬁrst plug a printer into a Windows 10 computer it will look through its own list of printers and install what it thinks is the best software, and although these kind work, they are often only the very basics to get you going and don’t include the additional functions such as ink level alerts. You need to go to the Epson website and navigate to the support or download section. And type your printer model into the search box and look for the full software package for your printer.

Once downloaded and in‐ stalled you should then see all of the features you had with your Vista laptop. If you don’t see Win10 drivers listed then try the Win8 or Win7 versions.

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

Driver charged following fatal Elche crash The lorry driver who caused a tragic accident on the A7 last Wednesday is under investigation for negligent homicide. The tragic accident resulted in four people being burned to death and three people being seriously injured when the refrigerated lorry crossed the central reservation and collided with two cars completely flattening one of them which caused a fireball. It happened at 1.15pm at the kilometre 517.8 on the A7 motorway inside the municipality of Elche at the junction to the town and towards Aspe. On the three lane carriageway a refrigerated lorry which was being driven

towards Murcia, lost control and collided slightly with a BMW and then crossed the central reservation into oncoming traffic. The lorry hit two other cars who were driving correctly towards Alicante and after falling on its side it flattened one of cars causing a fireball. The driver jumped from his cab before it burst into flames. Officers from the Traffic division of the Guardia Civil and Firemen from Elche arrived quickly at the scene, but even before their arrival several people were trying to help those injured at the scene. In one of the cars which was hit by the lorry was a man who was killed instantly and a woman who was rescued by people rushing to help. The woman

was evacuated in a serious condition to Elche General Hospital. Another woman was seriously injured and the driver slightly so. Both were admitted to the Vinalopó Hospital. Once the firemen had extinguished the blaze, they were able to inspect inside the vehicles. Inside a Renault Megane they found the body of the driver, from Girona, while the other vehicle a Renault Grand Scenic had been completely flattened by the lorry, and on close inspection the bodies of two women were indentified. When the crane lifted the lorry away hours later the Guardia Civil noted another body in the backseat.

PLANE PANIC ON VUELING FLIGHT There was pure panic for Vueling passengers recently as a police gun accidentally discharged. Passengers panicked on a Vueling flight when a police officer’s gun accidentally went off, causing them to fear a terrorist attack. The aircraft was boarding at Ibiza airport, ready to take off for Madrid, when several on-duty officers – who were travelling on the flight – passed each other their regulation handguns. One of these went off unintentionally, and the bullet hit the officer’s suitcase, absorbing the impact. State Administration leader for the island, Roger Sales, explains that it is standard procedure for police officers to carry their guns in the cabin when flying as part of the course of their duty, and they have tight procedures for boarding these for security reasons. Sales insists that ‘nothing worthy of

mention happened’ and that the officers were acting entirely in keeping with normal protocol. All the National Police officers on the flight handed in their guns to the captain.

However, although ‘nothing worthy of mention happened’, passengers on board the aircraft experienced momentary panic until staff explained what had happened.

Drones being used by authorities to spot illegal building works across Spain The treasury has deployed drones to catch tax cheats carrying out unregistered building work on their homes in Spain. The light aircraft are taking aerial photographs of properties across the country where building work has been carried out and not declared. This includes additions that would

increase the value of a property and therefore the amount of liable tax, such as extensions and swimming pools. By not declaring such work, tax cheats have been able to dodge a higher tax bill payable by all property owners in Spain based on the perceived value of the property.

The treasury’s operation, which began in 2014, has so far resulted in the collection of an extra €1.25 billion. The highest number of fraudsters was detected in Andalucia, where inspectors found 373,224 undeclared buildings. A new stage of the operation is now underway to survey 6,331 municipal areas with drones.

Spanish motorist breaks world drink-driving record A 56-year-old man from the Basque Country, Spain, has broken the world record for drink-driving after he was found to have travelled 240 kilometres (150 miles) at nearly 10 times the legal limit. He was breathalysed by the Gendarmerie on the A-89 motorway linking Bourgogne and Perigueux, when they saw him parked on the hard shoulder in the town of Saint-Seurinsur-l'Isle. French officers said he stank of alcohol and was too drunk even to complete the breathalyser test, so they took him to the nearest hospital. A blood test was carried out, and the reading showed 4.75 grams of alcohol per litre of blood, or 475 milligrams per 100 millilitres – nine-and-a-half times the legal limit for France or Spain. The driver admitted later that he had had no idea where he was driving to, nor how much alcohol he had drunk beforehand. He has provisionally been banned from driving for six months, but will appear in court in Libourne in

southern France in October. Spain's alcohol limits are 0.05 percent – 50 milligrams per 100 millilitres of blood or 0.25 milligrams per litre exhaled in a breathalyser test – dropping to 0.03 percent, or 50 milligrams per 100 millilitres of blood and 0.15 milligrams per litre exhaled, for drivers of HGVs of 3.5 tonnes or more, of passenger vehicles with more than nine seats, or with less than two years' driving experience, and attracts a fine of between €500 and €1,000. More than double the limit means a six-month jail term, which is suspended if it is a first criminal offence, and a fouryear ban. This is much lower than in the UK, where the breathalyser reading maximum is 0.35 milligrams per litre or 80 milligrams per 100 millilitres of blood. France's limits are the same as Spain's, but a reading of 0.08 percent or over is a criminal offence rather than, as in Spain, 0.12 percent. Anything over a standard glass of wine – 175ml – or a pint of beer, being

two bottles (tercios) or glasses (cañas) is enough to put an average-sized male or female over the limit in Spain, and can take up to four hours after finishing to fully metabolise enough for the drinker to possibly be safe to drive. This means the offender is likely to have drunk the equivalent of 10 glasses or nearly two litres of wine, 10 pints of beer, or nearly half a litre of spirits.

August 30th - September 5th 2016

ne would think that August is a top earning month for bars everywhere due to the influx of holidaymakers adding to the customer base. This is actually not always the case and in some areas not having residents around can severely damage the numbers of daily customers. Bars that are not in areas where tourist rent properties etc. can have a hard time during the hottest month. You may also have heard of some bars who have had police visits and had the music stopped. This does seem to be a regular summertime occurrence and when it is due to a complaint, whether valid or not, it is the duty of the police to investigate. Luckily we are back into September and things should be returning to normality. This week sees the long awaited return of Phil Collins Tribute Rob Lewis. You have only 2 opportunities to see him before he is off on his travels round the oceans of the world again. Oh those lucky Americans. You can see his amazing show on Tuesday at Pablo’s International in Playa Flamenca and on Friday at Irish bar The Leprechaun in Santa Pola del Este. Truly, close your eyes and tell me that is not the real Phil Collins singing! If the Beatles are your thing, you will be able to see Rick and Trace performing the Beatles Story for the first time in Playa Flamenca’s Pablo’s. Down the road at Villamartin Plaza there is live entertainment on the centre stage Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Whatever night and which ever act you chose to see there you are sure to have a wonderful experience. Not only is the setting just lovely but Snoopy does a fantastic job of the lighting and sound. As the resident DJ on the Plaza Snoopy is in the background but doing so much work to ensure that the main act sound perfect from all angles. This unassuming and kind man doesn’t get all the praise he deserves sometimes. So today I am doing it publicly. Thank you Snoopy for all you have done, not only for the venues you work for but also for your kindness to other acts. Buy this man a beer when you see him. He is a hidden hero.

■ CHRIS DARWEN chris@costablancapeople.com

A Manchester United fan broke his leg celebrating their win over Hull. Another had to be rescued by Fellaini as fans rushed to the front to celebrate the injury time winner in what was Fellaini’s most telling contribution of the match. Rashford became the first teenager ever to score a Premier League goal under Jose. The “old United” people were banging on about do seem to be back. Surprisingly though, seven other teams have scored more last minute or injury time winners in Premier League history than United. Take that, believers in “Fergie Time!” Rooney had a typical game by his recent standards. He demanded the ball a lot, he got the ball a lot, he lost the ball a lot and argued with the referee a lot. He also managed to convince his manager not to take him off, which was fortunate, as he then put the rest of his game behind him to create Rashford’s winner. The result was harsh on Hull, but Ryan Mason will arrive from Spurs soon and get their title challenge back on track. Chelsea beat Burnley three nil, making Andre Gray’s week just that little bit worse. Eden Hazard reckons that Conte’s past successes as a player can benefit him and his teammates. Subtle that Eden, well played. Arsenal look very good when they play teams like Watford. They look very good indeed. Imagine adding a talent like Lucas Perez into that attacking mix. That is £17.9m of mid-table La Liga talent snapped up, right there. For me there was a clue in the fact that neither Real, Barca or Atletico were particularly bothered by the fact that they too could have snapped up Deportivo’s main man for a small fee. Either Arsene is in fact a genius, or Arsenal have just signed someone who was originally 19th on Arsene’s “most wanted” list. Still, you all wanted him to sign someone! Mind you, Arsene’s signings are like (insert something that isn’t seen for ages but then two suddenly appear). Mustafi has given up waiting for the club to confirm he is joining and told Sky Germany he has signed a five year deal. Watford look like a club who will be in

young Pickford who had played well despite his error giving Jay Rodriguez his first goal in a very long time. His drought was injury based though, not Harry Kane in August based. All Moyes needs to do now is convince Joe Hart to trade a very comfy seat on the City bench for the already proclaimed relegation battle at the Stadium of Light. Pardew will be the first to tell you he is a tactical genius, and would probably suggest he invented the whole “bunging your centre half up front when desperate for a goal” thing. Having just spent £32m

up in bed, read a bedtime story and Jurgen creeping back down the stairs to enjoy a brandy by the time Danny Rose equalised for Poch’s men. Still, Liverpool fans claiming Klopp has made them worse need to start following another sport, one that might be a little easier for them to understand. Sturridge would like to leave apparently, shocked at Klopp’s reluctance to rely on a player that has more sick days than “sicknote Barry” in your office. The new look Everton dominated a Stoke side that might need to up their game if they are to reach their annual 9th place in the table. Granted, they only won 1-0 courtesy of a comical Shay Given own goal, but Koeman has got the Blues looking like a unit. A unit from a decent manufacturer that is, not a cheap, flimsy unit probably purchased from MFI, like Roberto Martinez had built. Southampton and Stoke drew 1-1 at St Mary’s. Moyesy alluded to looking for a new keeper, which was a little harsh on

on Christian Benteke to put an end to Palace’s fear of scoring regular goals, it needed the Premier League’s top scoring centre back to draw Pardew’s side level against a still winless Bournemouth. Having got the big lad up top, Pardew is now hoping to add the little lad in the shape of Chelsea’s Loic Remy. Ranieri called conditions more like water polo in his team’s 2-1 win over Swansea. Claudio, there were many times last season where Mr Vardy’s moves would have looked right at home in the pool. Vardy got his first of the season as the champions got their first win. They are also on the verge of signing Israeli striker Islam Slimani. He had better be quick, otherwise he’s going to hate the sprints in training with Vardy and Musa. Berahino was benched once more to “clear his mind” as further transfer speculation surrounded a striker that has barely played for a year. He has been benched so many times that his mind must be as clear as a Buddhist monk’s by

now. I presume all managers tempted to spend £20m on Saido are aware that they are gambling on the fact he still remembers how to score Premier League goals? Goals are still hard to come by for WBA, managing to score none in their 00 draw with Middlesboro. Both managers will have been much happier with the point than the fans that paid to watch that rubbish. Pulis will be even happier that one of the five new faces he hopes to sign, Spurs winger Nacer Chadli, is on his way. West Ham had a cunning plan to stop Manchester City. Bilic lined up with three at the back in the hope of masterminding a second victory at the Etihad since landing on these shores. Raheem Sterling, living proof that Pep is the best coach in the world as he now looks like the best player England have, saw Slaven ripping his plans up after just seven minutes. West Ham did look dead and buried at half time but, and allow me to say I called this before Big Sam named his squad, potential England cap Michail Antonio pulled one back for the Hammers. The game finished 3-1 as the Hammers also announced the loan signing of the world’s finest penalty taker, Italian Simone Zaza from Juventus. City’s Aguero might have got himself a couple of weeks off for a little elbow into the throat of Winston Reid which went undetected. Big Sam named his first England squad. Never shy of doing something a bit different, he announced he would have called up Steven N’Zonzi until he learned he had played once for France U21’s. That said, if N’Zonzi had a shout all bets are off. Anyone might get a chance in the new look side. If Big Sam wanted to do something really different, dropping a few of the reliably rubbish major tournament performers might have been a start. It was quite disappointing to see the same old faces, bar the inclusion of Antonio. I mean, what will bringing back Theo Walcott actually achieve? Defoe and Noble must be quietly crying into their sports drinks tonight.

trouble this season. So much of last season’s survival came from their ability to gel as a team very quickly, and that really isn’t happening for them yet. Troy Deeney says “there is much more to come” from the team. It is unclear if he meant that in a positive way or not. If David Moyes was their manager, he’d be saying they are in a relegation battle. It’s all very well scoring five goals in midweek against a Championship side, Liverpool, but you need to start taking some of these chances in the Premier League. Spurs should have been tucked

■ CHRIS DARWEN Lewis Hamilton has clearly been finding driving his Formula One car a bit easy recently. He started the Belgian Grand Prix at the back of the grid to give the others a chance, and he still managed to finish 3rd. Nico Rosberg won, with all the chaos going on behind him with red flags and safety cars clearing the way for Hamilton to move his way up to the podium. The Brit still leads the World Championship.

Joe Root make batting look very easy indeed. Sometimes he finds it too easy for his own good, not something many Englishmen have suffered from over the years. The Yorkshireman led England to another ODI win over Pakistan to lead the series 2-0 following a rain affected victory in Southampton on Friday night. Root hit 89 as England easily chased down the Pakistan score. It was also announced that England’s tour to Bangladesh is on with security fears being allayed. Everyone loves a British Lions rugby tour. Well, nearly everyone. The Premiership chief Mark McCafferty has urged tour organisers to have a second look at the dates scheduled for the gruelling ten match trip. Currently clubs in England and Australia have no say in the scheduling of the biggest event in rugby and feel that, considering they pay the players, it would be nice to be able to put their ten pence worth in. The director of sports hospitality group THG has been released from prison in Brazil. You know what the Brazilian’s are like when it comes to corruption. If you haven’t invited them to join in then you can get in a lot of trouble! Kevin Mallon was arrested in connection with alleged ticket touting and spent

the best part of a fortnight banged up with OCI president Pat Hickey. Still, it stopped people looking at the green water didn’t it? Darren Clarke announces his Ryder Cup team on Tuesday. With so many rookies in the side it is likely his wildcards will have a little more experience about them, which is good news for Martin Kaymer and Lee Westwood.

Quesada Golf Society Last Wednesday the society travelled inland from Elche towards Aspe to play one of the newer courses on the Costa Blanca, Font De Llop which has been developed on rugged hilly terrain. From the course you can see for miles and miles. It is a challenging course with some long holes and narrow fairways and if you go astray on quite a few holes your ball will disappear into a ravine and be irrecoverable. It was a hot day with a slight breeze and plenty of water was required. 29 players turned out to play including a few guests and members who are also members of Font De Llop. The format of the competition was a Texas Scramble. There were 5 teams of 4 players and 3 teams of 3 players. The winning team on the day was made up of big hitting Brent Hollings, who enjoyed his 5th consecutive win. When will he stop winning, Young Trevor Hobbs, Big Roy Kavanagh and another big lad, John Featherstone who by all accounts played out of his skin. In

second place was the team of John “Robin Hood” King, David Handy and guests Tony Wilson and Tyrone Turner. In 3rd place was the team of Bwighton boy, Victor Dew, Gooner Dave Smith, John Simmons and young Ann Hobbs. There were no Nearest the Pins on the day. The scratchcard was won by David Trotman who said that that was the first scratch-card he had ever won. . The next society game is on Wednesday 7 September at Lo Romero. The format of the competition will be a Chosen Pairs with players being invited to pair up with a fellow player for the game and the 9 best scores of each player being aggregated to give a total score for the pair. Anyone in the Quesada area looking to join a very friendly golf society and play golf once a fortnight at a wide variety of courses at a very reasonable cost, should contact the Chairman & Membership Secretary Les Pancott on 966716723.

CD Thader ready for new season

Valencia star arrived at the Torrevieja sports centre eager to repeat their victory in the last encounter between these two teams. Torrevieja had other ideas as their confidence and form were high after an 8 wicket win in their last game. Valencia won the toss and elected to bat, and Butt and Hasan Nazir scored freely until Torrevieja's Rahul Maini struck to first trap Butt LBW and then encourage Nazir to hit one straight to captain Chris Connor Wooid Darwen. 53 for 2. In the 11th over, 12 year old Connor Wood came on to bowl which proved to be a turning point. By the time Valencia were all out for 99, Connor's 5 overs yielded 6 wickets for just 13 runs.

Torrevieja went in to bat needing 100 to win and 40 overs to do it in. What followed next was both a joy and despair. Despair that 8 of Torrevieja's batsmen failed to trouble the scorer with only Kieran Wood hitting 13 and Angus McDowall 4 not out. Joy at witnessing the finest spell of left arm pace bowling seen in the EECL for a long time. Hasan Nazir finished with 6 overs, 7 wickets for just 9 runs. Tayyab Khan helping with 3 for 15. Torrevieja 24 all out. On Sunday Torrevieja travel to La Manga which will be another tough game but they will rise to the challenge.

The game this month was held at La Serena. Opting for a Team game format of “best 2 scores to count”. In addition each team were able to introduce a “ Joker”. Each team could nominate one of 3 holes to use their Joker and double their points scored on that hole. Committee choosing Hole 7, Hole 14 and Hole 17. Definitely a mix of options, taking a Par 3, Par 4 and a Par 5. Some Teams choosing to wait until the 17th and taking a chance, but then reaping the rewards. The weather was certainly different, starting off cloudy and even Teams experiencing rain! And then finally the sun came out. The winning team coming in with 107 points. Winning Team included: Mike Simmonds, Alan Brown, Ian White & Wayne Harris. Team in 2nd place with 101 points were: James Gay, Brian Kay & Graham Platts. A “ ghost” draw being made to make up the 4th player. Team in 3rd place with a score of 97 points were: Colin Comber, Paul Lane & Gavin Naismith, along with a “ ghost” draw. NTP’s went to: Hole 3 Roy Kemp, Hole 9 Christine Akers, Hole 15 Wayne Harris and Hole 17 Colin Comber. Well done to all our Winners on the day.

It was to that lovely course near Elche Font del Llop Golf Resort on another extremely hot Summer’s day, temperatures hit a high of 36 degrees and plenty of water was the order of the day. Considering it is August and the high temperatures the turnout was very good, thankfully a breeze came up that is always welcome to refresh to players and looking at the scores did the players a lot of favoures.. Yet another well done to the Font del Llop green staff as the course was in really good condition considering the heat wave over the past weeks and certainlyhelped those who could cope with the heat.

ground. Eibar’s new signing Pedro León scored the only goal to place Valencia at the very bottom. Barcelona also had to travel to the Basque country, and needed Rakitic’s goal to give them a narrow win over Athletic, whilst Sevilla, who scored six last week, fought out a sterile draw with Villareal. Draws seemed to be in fashion in the second division, with only one club registering two wins in a row – newlyrelegated Levante, who, like Rayo Vallecano, have retained many of their

first division players, are now clear leaders. Local side Elche were beaten at Girona, 3-1. A similar fate befell Hercules, away to Barcelona B, in division 2B. In England, although it is very, very early, the title looks likely to be Manchester-bound – though whether to City or United, who can tell? United needed a late (very late!) Rashford goal to win at Hull, and City survived some second half jitters before overcoming West Ham 3-1. Chelsea can certainly

CD Thader of Rojales finished its preseason campaign on Friday in Pilar, running out 3-0 winners over UD Horadada, with Ruben Sanz, Villa and Noé all on the score sheet. Now the team will turn its attention to the start of the league. All home matches will be played on Sunday mornings at 11:30, so they do not clash with any other matches, at the municipal stadium in Rojales, at the sports centre up behind Mercadona. Thader starts with a home game against Villajoyosa, this Sunday 4th of September at 11:30. It will be free entry for this first match of the season. Mercury FM´s Lee Fox and Chris Curran will be there with The Mercury on The Road Show from 10am playing just great music warming up the crowd ready for kick off and during half time and the after game party, where there will be food and drink available while enjoying the great music. So make sure you come along to support the team of Rojales...CD Thader.

We had 34 players at Hacienda and nearest the pin was sponsored by The Alehouse. Hole 5 was won by Mick Steel, Hole 7 by Callum Hitcham, Hole 15 by Spice and Hole 17 by Steve Higgins. Mick steel not only got 1 hole in 2, but was the only player to get a 2 and scooped the cash pot. Scott Noble was our last place winner taking home a bottle of wine. Our guests played extremely well with Joe Geoghegan coming in with 34 points, Mick Steel 39 points and Callum Hitcham an impressive 41 points. Our members saw Greame Clarke with a handicap of 8, scoring an spectacular 33 points, Tony Smale with his handicap of 12, scored an splendid 34 points, and Neil Cheeseman scored 36 points from his handicap of 14.
