Victory for continuous day campaigners! After years of campaigning for a change to the school day in Spain, schools across the Alicante region were delighted to finally have their way.
T
he deadline for voting was the 15th September and parents and teachers in many schools in
Torrevieja stayed into the night to count them. Schools in Valencia had been given the opportunity to vote for the new timetable. A total of 266 schools in Alicante province, 37 schools in Valencia and 14 in Castellon took up the opportunity to do so. In the final ballot, a total of 260 Alicante schools voted in favour of changing their hours. The day traditionally has been divided by a long lunch hour from
12.30pm to 3pm. Those parents whose children went home for lunch were then required to bring their children back to school for another 90 minutes with the official school day finishing at 4.30pm. The new arrangements do vary slightly between schools but mean that in most cases children will be able to leave their primary school at 2pm if they don’t wish to stay for dinner without having to return. For those who wish to have dinner there they can, leaving the

defeat the budget ■ SUZANNE O’CONNELL
suzanne@costablancapeople.com After two and a half hours of debate about the budget in Torrevieja, the thirteen votes of the PP (centre right) and Ciudadanos (centre right) combined to defeat the ruling town council. The session began with the explanation of the budget and was followed by the spokesperson for the Partido Popular, Eduardo Dolón, who denounced the reduction in funding for sports, culture, parks and gardens, associations and transport. Opposition claim that the cuts have been made in order to bring the collection of rubbish service into the public sector. Following debate, Ciudadanos were persuaded to vote with the PP party against the budget. They feel that their suggestions have not been taken into account in the new budget proposals. The mayor, José Manuel Dolon pointed out; ‘they could rule for years without a budget, but it would be the citizens of the town who will lose out as a result.’ In the meantime, the town hall continues to collect suggestions from the people of Torrevieja as to some of the details of the budget. Councillor Victor Ferrández and the councillor for finance, José Hurtado, released the
results of the budget consultation. Some of the suggestions included the creation of a non-profit making municipal housing association, a youth leisure centre, a municipal nursery school and social housing. Some requests that were put forward, such as the completion of the park at la Siesta – El Chaparral, were supported by a number of people. Altogether 480 suggestions were received including 160 written submissions from associations, groups and individuals. Some of the suggestions received were not admissible as part of the budget but Councillor Ferrández has indicated that they will be passed on to the relevant departments. These include, protective measures for victims of male violence, more nursing homes and other aspects relating to social welfare. A number of other budget announcements are also being released including a saving of more than €63,000 from the fiestas budget. The savings have been achieved through different measures such as the town council using their own existing resources and workforce to carry out activities rather than paying someone else to do it. Buying in bulk instead of for individual projects has also cut down on the cost of some activities.

Brit arrested at Alicante Airport for domestic violence A British man who was accused of abuse by his girlfriend in Orihuela has been caught as he was about to get on a flight to flee the country. The National Police arrested the 57 year old British man at Alicante-Elche airport, where he had intended to get on a flight to Liverpool. His girlfriend, who is aged 23, reported the alleged abuse at Orihuela National Police station on 13th September. Once in possession of the facts, and after activating the appropriate protocol for such cases, the officers were able to determine that the suspect had acquired a plane ticket to Liverpool. Until that point the suspect had gone to ground and his whereabouts were unknown. Therefore they set up discreet surveillance in the departures area until he was identified at passenger control, and after confirming his identity he was arrested. The arrest was made by officers of the Border Post Investigation Group of Alicante-Elche Airport, in collaboration with the UFAM Group of Orihuela National Police Station. The suspect, after having made a declaration, was put at the disposition of the Court of Violence Against Women in Elche.

Plot thickens over missing teenager BITE SIZE Twists and turns have come to light in the ‘needle-in-a-haystack’ search for Madrid sixth-former Diana Quer, who went missing in the early hours of 22nd August from the family's regular holiday haunt in Galicia. The 18-year-old was described as a ‘home-loving girl’ who ‘would never have run away voluntarily’, and her last contact by telephone was a WhatsApp message to a friend at home in Madrid to say a man of gypsy origin was following her and trying to attract her attention. The phine was switched off at 4.00am. Described as tall and slim – 5'9” and 8st 9lb – with very long, dark hair and wearing a white top, black lace-up shoes, pink shorts and a hoodie, Diana was said not to have made it home that night as her mother would have heard her. However, her mother, also called Diana, has now admitted through her solicitor that her daughter must have returned home, since she found her pink shorts in her bedroom and a pair of jeans missing. Diana Junior had taken her spare key to the holiday home in the seaside town of A Pobra do Caramiñal, A Coruña province,
where she had spent every summer since she was three, but had left behind her DNI or national identity card and all her money, which was about €20 in cash. It was initially thought she had been abducted during the walk home from the late-night open-air disco. But the ‘man of gypsy origin’ has been interrogated and ruled out as a suspect. Police say they could not find any CCTV footage of her in the ‘missing’ hour and a half, and sniffer-dogs have not found any trace of her, alive or otherwise. They say her GPS locator on her phone showed she was moving at speed down a number of streets, a route consistent with being in a car, although she had not yet passed her driving test. A female friend said Diana Quer is 'very trusting' and ‘could have easily got in a car with a total stranger’. Meanwhile, her father, Juan Carlos Quer – who had been in Valencia at the time of his elder daughter's disappearance – said he had been very concerned to learn about some of the people who called themselves Diana's friends, insinuating they were a‘bad crowd’ who behaved in ways that were
‘teetering on the wrong side of the law’. And as a result of the parents’ regular appearances in the media in an attempt to find their daughter, the family's private life has been, inevitably and painfully, exposed. Juan Carlos Quer and Diana López-Pinel have been separated for several years, and Diana Quer and her younger sister, Valeria, 16, were apparently ‘very unhappy’ living with their mother. At first, a voluntary flight was ruled out, but police are now not so sure – but the fact she did not take any money, spare clothing, her DNI, or her passport which is kept under lock and key at their home near Madrid means this still seems unlikely. Along with everyone's worst fears, is the possibility she may have been kidnapped for ransom, although neither parent has received a demand for money. Both halves of the family live in a gated luxury urbanisation in Pozuelo de Alarcón – statistically Spain's wealthiest town, home to footballers and politicians and where the average household income is a net €76,000 a year - in the Greater Madrid region, and Juan Carlos is a successful businessman.
Spanish train driver clocks off mid-route More than 100 passengers were stranded near Madrid after their train driver left his post mid-route because he had reached the legal limit on the number of hours he could work, officials have announced. The train stopped in the northern village of Osorno at 9:15pm last Tuesday, two hours after it left Santander for Madrid because the driver said he had
‘exceeded the hours of his shift’, staterun operator Renfe said in a statement. Under Spanish law, train drivers are not allowed to work for more than six straight hours to prevent fatigue and avoid accidents. However, when the train arrived at Osorno, there was no other driver available to take over, said Carlos Segura, spokesman for the Semaf train drivers union.
“It is not because he decided to leave to go home,” he added. Renfe hired two buses and a taxi to take the 109 stranded train passengers to their final destination. The company said it had opened an investigation into the incident. It apologised to the passengers concerned, and said their fares will be reimbursed.

running at the side of the road. The car then continued into the urbanisation. The injured man was attended to by the ambulance and taken to Torrevieja hospital. Witnesses at the scene were able to give details to the police including the car registration. The police were subsequently able to locate the car only minutes after the accident took place, close to Hotel Masa, and arrested the driver. The driver was a young woman of 25 years old who was not over the limit when breathalysed.

Cases of food poisoning take to Torrevieja hospital Several tourists suffering from food poisoning after staying in a hotel in Guardamar, were taken to Torrevieja hospital for treatment. The patients were suffering from vomiting, fever, diarrhoea and abdominal pain. The problems began on Wednesday night when those affected had eaten at the hotel’s buffet. The outbreak is believed to have affected at least a dozen tourists. The majority went to Guardamar health centre but those with the most severe symptoms were referred on to Torrevieja hospital for treatment. Most of them were allowed to go home shortly afterwards but one couple were kept in over night for further treatment. The hospital is currently doing tests to establish the exact cause of the outbreak. Some of those staying at the hotel were said to be dissatisfied with the way in which the incident was being dealt with by the hotel staff.
Army uniforms in La Mata Torrevieja local police seized what looked like 16 army uniforms illegally for sale in La Mata market. The merchandise was confiscated from the stall on Wednesday 14th September along with a number of other items labelled with fake brand names. Subsequently the owner of the stall was charged and the stall closed down. The uniforms appeared to be authentic and included a replica Spanish flag. Copies such as this can be used by people imitating the security forces for criminal purposes.
Run for diabetes On Saturday 17th September the third Ruta de los Centinelas was held with people running from Cartagena to Torrevieja in aid of diabetes research. The participants left the port of Cartagena to run the 100 kilometres up the coast. The event was organised by Cartagena town hall in conjunction with the Asociación de Diabéticos de Cartagena and was intended to raise awareness of diabetes. The journey took approximately 17 hours and participants came through Horadada and Cabo Roig before finally arriving in Torrevieja. Those participating wore a tshirt showing that they were running whilst also having the disease and to encourage others to do the same. Twelve people took part in the complete run and 30 accompanied along different stretches. Twelve volunteers manned stops to give the runners refreshments. Suzanne O’Connell

Irish-linked murder arrest International operation has led to the arrest of suspect in an Irish gangland murder in Mijas, on the Costa del Sol. The man thought to have shot Irishman Gary Hutch to death in September of last year has been arrested by the Guardia Civil in collaboration with the Irish Garda. The police operation code-named Geráneo, in collaboration with Europol and the Irish Garda, also involved four raids on properties connected to the suspect and a Puerto Banús gym. Several vehicles, weapons and mobile phones have been seized. The victim was 30 years old when he was gunned down on the grounds of Urbanización Ángel de Miraflores on 24th September 2015. Witnesses said at the time that the gunman, wearing a balaclava, chased Hutch around the pool, firing shots. He died at the scene after receiving gunshot wounds to the back, head and chest. Hutch’s killing sparked a gangland war between two rival Irish criminal organisations which resulted in seven more deaths in Ireland and one in Calvià (Mallorca).

Elliot not inviting TOWIE buddies to wedding Former TOWIE star Elliott Wright says he will not invite co-stars to upcoming wedding with Sadie Stuart. Elliot, who ran one of the family’s two local ‘Eduardo’s’ restaurants at Villamartin, has announced he will not be inviting his former Only Way is Essex co-stars to his wedding. The reality TV star, who now owns Olivia’s restaurant in La Cala, says he is no longer close to the likes of Gemma Collins or Arg. Now the star of his own show, Elliot Wright: Playa in Marbella, he is set to marry Sadie Stuart later this year, although they haven’t decided if it will be in the UK or Spain. “I keep in touch with the Towie lot to a certain degree but I wouldn’t say I’m close, I live in Spain now,” the 35-year-old said. “They’ve got their own careers to get on with.”
Alternative entertainment in Torrevieja On the 17th and 18th September Torrevieja hosted an ‘alternative entertainment’ exhibition, presented by ComarCON in the Sports Palace (Palacio de los Deportes). The weekend included displays of video games, table top games, cult comics and role play. Many of the activities and themes were of Japanese origin and were particularly popular with the young. It was expected to attract around 3,000people overall a marked increase from the 2,500 people attending in 2015. The table games includedgroups and individuals planning their strategies and playing them out in figures. One stand featured a whole scenario set up in cork and with great attention to detail. Some of the games on show were quite rare and some included recreations of Torrevieja. There were workshops too with lectures on a variety of topics including making medieval armour and weapons, the publication of comics and handicrafts. To accompany the games and comics themselves there was a variety of merchandise to buy. The central ‘characters’ could be found on shirts, hats, purses, masks and you could almost find every item needed to dress up authentically. Amongst the more unusual characters, there were also some that were more easily recognisable. For example, figures fromStar Wars, Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit andBatman. Different activities were planned throughout the day including role-play games of up to 60 players, video game competitions, DJ sessions, podcast recording sessionsand even karaoke. Admission to the event was free and it provided an opportunity for local businesses engaged in this type of enterprise to showcase their goods and receive publicity. The Japanese culture is at the root of this kind of leisure and to reflect this there were also Japanese-style refreshments including ‘ramen’ – a Japanese dish of noodles, chicken broth, meat and vegetables. This was the third time that Torrevieja has held such an event and it is expected to feature again in 2017. Suzanne O’Connell

Continued from page 1 premises at 3.30pm or alternatively they can continue in school until 5pm. Each school had to draw up its own plan for the new day and identify why it was a better option. The task will now begin of ensuring that the plans can be put into action. The requirement is that the activities between the times of 3.30pm and 5pm must be free of charge and so require the organising of an army of volunteers. Many of those who supported the change argue that it will increase the amount of time available for family life after school. Although for some it will now mean a delayed return to the family home at 5pm. Local parent/ teacher associations had campaigned hard for this and it was no easy matter for schools to encourage as many parents as possible to vote. Not voting was counted as a ‘no’. So it was crucial that not only did parents understand the issues but that they came out to vote too. Two parents for each family were given the vote with a single
parent having double. Schools in Torrevieja that have voted in the change include Las Culturas, Cuba, Acequión, Virgen del Carmen, Inmaculada, Ciudad Del Mar, Gratiniano Baches, Romualdo Ballester, Nuestra Señora del Rosario, Habaneras and Salvador Ruso. The only two local schools who have not participated include El Colegio Público Amanecer and La Purisima whose school day will remain the same. The process has been a long one. Each school initially had to vote in order for them to begin the process of balloting parents. After this they were required to put forward a plan that then had to be approved. Once the plan was given the go ahead then the voting procedure could begin.Schools now have two weeks to put their plans into place. For many parents for whom this has become a crusade, there is real delight at the outcome. The difficult job of implementing these ambitious plans, is now to begin. Suzanne O’Connell

The meeting was specifically held in order to discuss the prevention possible emergencies that could arise due to heavy rains or a Gota Fria. The Councillor said that for the first time, the emergency services team will soon hold a mock emergency drill. This will simulate a bad weather scenario in order to ensure the effectiveness of the teams and ensure all the elements come together smoothly. The meeting was attended by the Mayor of orihuela, Emilio Bascuñana and the Councillors for Public Safety and Infrastructure, Mariola Rocamora and

Francisco Saez, as well as representatives of the Civil Protection, Local Police, Fire and technical areas such as Infrastructure, Environment, Education and the coast. In addition, the meeting was attended by representatives of the Vega Baja Hospital, Hidraqua and a new addition to the team Oriolano meteorologist, Pedro Gomez. After analysing the performances of the last years to prevent risks, the meeting discussed preventive measures like cleaning the drainage networks, maintenance and conservation of the river gates, and cleaning the water scuppers in the town, on the coast and in the districts. Furthermore, the local water company has also cleaned gullies and checked the flow under the different brigades involved in heavy water flow management. Councillor Valverde concluded that “Orihuela is ready”, and expressed an interest in the council to “improve the system of communication with parents so they know far in advance if they should bring their children to school or not”. Weather expert Pedro Gómez will now provide a forecast further in advance to help the council inform families more quickly.

Horse rescue centre launches internship program The Easy Horse Care Rescue Centre is offering the chance to live and work at its bustling Rojales-based stable yard as part of a new ‘hands-on’ equine internship program, launched this month. During the eight-week Easy Horse Care Rescue Centre internship, selected participants will be invited to help care for more than 90 rescued equines, going deeper than being a tourist to make a positive difference at the frontline of animal welfare in Spain. Easy Horse Care co-founder Sue Weeding said the non-profit rescue centre – located in the countryside near the town of Rojales – would accept a maximum of just four interns at once, who will be guided through a comprehensive eight-week work and study program designed to teach crucial equine handling and care skills. A key focus will be caring for horses, ponies and donkeys with complex medical and psychological needs as a result of past abuse and neglect. Interns will be paired one-on-one with a special-needs horse and taught how to develop a mutually trusting relationship. The program also covers basic veterinary skills, equine facility management, non-profit fundraising strategies and key animal welfare issues. An optional four-week extension offers the chance to progress to riding, after building a solid relationship with a horse. “A lot of people need the experience that only a place like us can offer, because they may want to work with animals but need practical knowledge before they can apply for jobs,” Sue said. “We have many horses, ponies and donkeys here with specialist medical needs, some of which are rarely seen in other stable yards, so this really is a unique chance to gain knowledge while working for a good cause.” Interns who successfully complete the base eight-week program will be awarded certificates and a professional letter of recommendation. Equine experience is not essential and Spanish language skills are not compulsory, as the rescue centre
management team predominantly communicate in English. Sue said interns would greatly contribute to Easy Horse Care’s future stability, both by lending a hand with day-to-day equine care and bringing in crucial funds to support facility upgrades. “We are very excited about this program because we think it may help solve some of our ongoing problems with manpower, while bringing in fresh new people and ideas, which will make a huge difference to what we are able to achieve here at the centre,”Sue said. “We urge anyone who is interested in taking part to visit our website, download our comprehensive information pack for further details, and apply.”
The eight-week internship costs €800, and includes simple shared accommodation at the rescue centre and basic weekly food supplies. The fee helps cover the program’s running costs and acts as a donation to help the Easy Horse Care Rescue Centre continue its vital animal welfare work.

VALENCIA TOURIST BOARD SLAMS EU POST-BREXIT VISA FEE The regional tourist board for Valencia has launched a mass complaint to Brussels about the proposed visa fee British holidaymakers may have to pay to enter the European Union post-Brexit. Mainland Spain's eastern region lives largely from tourism and, in certain places – especially here in the province of Alicante – UK nationals are among the most loyal customers. In a bid to monitor the Union's outer borders in light of the recent terrorist attacks in Belgium and France, the EU is setting up a visa system whereby visitors to the continent will pay a typical fee of €12.50, US$14.00, or about £11.00, which can be transacted online with a minimum of three days' notice. It is not clear how this will affect British residents in EU nations travelling back and forth to visit family, or who split their time between the two countries, nor EU nationals living in the UK. Neither is it clear whether the visa will only apply to non-EU countries – which the UK is not, as yet, but will be two years after Article 50 is triggered – or whether it relates to all nations not in the Schengen zone, meaning Britain would be affected even in the absence of Brexit. At the moment, being an EU member but not part of the Schengen, UK visitors have to show their passport when travelling to and from Europe. The Valencia region is on tenterhooks about the effect of the Europe tug-of-war on its tourism industry, having already wholeheartedly rejected proposals of a euro-a-day ‘tourist tax’, fearing it will put visitors off. “I cannot believe the EU would
be so dimwitted as to do this,” complains Luis Martí, co-chairman of the regional tourism traders’ confederation. Pre-referendum, when sterling-euro exchange rates remained around their best since 2008, Valencia saw a spike in British tourist numbers. A total of 1.2 million holidaymakers travelled to the region between January and June inclusive, a rise of some 23 percent. And as yet, the plummeting exchange rates, which have lost British pensioners living in Spain as much as 20 percent of their income, have not seen UK tourist numbers drop to any great degree – although this may be partly because some of them will have booked their trips prior to the Brexit referendum. Also, many families have no choice but to travel in August or the last week in July so as to avoid being fined for taking their children out of school, meaning they are already resigned to paying peak-season prices. French tourists are the second-largest national group who visit the Comunidad Valenciana, and Brits more than double them in number, the tourist board says. The province of Alicante, in particular the part known as the ‘Costa Blanca’ which includes the coastal areas around Benidorm and Torrevieja, accounts for the majority, with 3.5 million passengers travelling to or from the UK via Alicante's El Altet airport between the months of January and August. For the province of Valencia, British travellers – many of whom are family and friends of permanent residents – account for the fourth-largest national group after
Italians, French and Germans, with nearly 63,700 Brits flying into or out of Valencia’s Manises airport in August. Even the province of Castellón, hitherto unknown to sun-seeking beach holidaymakers from the UK, is now seeing the start of a boom thanks to Ryanair connections running to and from London and Bristol from the newly-opened Castellón airport. In fact, British visitors to the province of Castellón have increased this year by 60 percent.With this in mind, the Valencia region is concerned that if the EU puts up obstacles that cost Brits more to travel, they may have to slash their own costs to continue to attract them.
Still European Until Article 50 is triggered, the official process for leaving the European Union and the countdown to a full Brexit will not even begin, meaning that in spite of the referendum vote the UK is still a fully-paid up EU member – for now. Anecdotal evidence cites large numbers of British holidaymakers joining the ‘Non-EU citizens’ queue at Málaga airport passport control, only to be turned back at the desk and have to queue again at the 'EU citizens' booth. Travel authorities stress that all aspects of European Union citizenship continue to apply to British nationals, including passport control queues. The UK Consulates in Spain have asked expats and tourists to report any problems to them that may be caused through confusion about Britain's current status in Europe.

WEEKLY EURO UPDATE Broadly, investors tended to favour the premier league currencies - the US dollar, the euro, the yen and the Swiss franc - over those of commodity exporters and emerging markets this week. It was symptomatic of a mood of caution that prevailed over all financial markets. The failure of the European Central Bank and the Bank of Japan last week to wheel out new stimulus measures has led investors to consider the possibility that industrial-scale central bank money-printing is coming to the end of the road. With expectations of a US central bank interest rate rise happening this month already waning, Federal Reserve hawks – and the dollar – were dealt a further blow when governor Brainard addressed the Chicago Council on Global Affairs on Monday. Rumour had it that Ms Brainard, the most dove-like of Fed doves, could be about to make a monetary policy U-turn and talk up a September rate hike. As it happened she stuck to her guns, asserting that "the case to tighten policy pre-emptively is less compelling". Investors who had been expecting the unexpected quickly readjusted their US rate outlook and the probability of an increase next week dropped back to one in five. The pound also dipped on Monday as investors reacted to the news that UK inflation was softer-than-expected in August; keeping the chance of another Bank of England rate cut on track. The Office for National Statistics figures fell short of expectations of a 0.7pc rise last month, instead holding steady at 0.6pc. A significant rise in raw material costs after June’s vote to leave the European Union was offset by lower prices for clothing, hotels and wine. Investors had been expecting Wednesday morning's UK jobs data to show unemployment steady at 4.9% with a small
increase in the number of jobseekers and a 2.1% rise in average earnings. Except for a slightly disappointing 5k more jobseekers that was pretty much what they got. Moreover, the number of people in work was the highest ever and the 74.5% employment rate (the number of people working relative to the number of people of working age) was the highest since the calculation was first made in 1971. Despite the reasonable numbers sterling initially started moving lower against the euro, before rebounding later in the day. The pound slipped against the dollar and the euro on Thursday, after the Bank of England left the door open for a further cut in UK interest rates this year, having voted unanimously to keep its policy on hold this month. The British mantra of ‘Keep Calm and Carry On’ has seemingly paid dividends since the Brexit vote, after a run of better than anticipated economic data demonstrated the resilience of the UK economy. However, "The Committee's view of the contours of the economic outlook following the EU referendum had not changed," the central banks meeting minutes said. They went on to say that if its November forecasts are "broadly consistent with August's" then a majority of MPC members expected to "support a further cut in the bank rate" over the course of the year. There was little in the €Z economic data to enthuse potential buyers of the euro. Investor sentiment softened, industrial production fell, the trade surplus narrowed and inflation remained stuck at 0.2%. The euro did manage to carve out a half-cent gain against sterling but it lost a third of a US cent and was roughly unchanged, on average, against the other dozen most actively-traded currencies.
Sponsored Walk with Stevie Spit Whether you like walking or not, what could be a better way of finishing off a saunter than with entertainment by Stevie Spit. The famous, if somewhat risqué, entertainer will be providing some light relief after the walk along Torrevieja sea front in aid of Elche Children’s Home. The walk has been organised by Ken and Lynda Adams and takes place on Saturday 24th September starting at 11am. Participants will set off from the Kiosko, Cabo Cervera and follow the sea front as far as Hostel Albir. It’s an attractive walk with some stunning views and worth completing even if it wasn’t for charity. Lyn and Ken would love to see as many people there as possible. It doesn’t matter if you’re doing the walk or just supporting. You can even bring your dog as long as it’s on a lead. The walk extends to approximately four miles and can be taken at a leisurely pace. It’s for a good cause. Elche Children’s Care Home provides a home for young people from the ages of 11 and 18 who, for whatever reason, can no longer live with their families. They are vulnerable young people who are not only dealing with growing up and teenage life but with the
trauma of doing it without the support of close family. Events, such as this annual walk, raise money for some of the essentials that these young people need. Pyjamas, trainers, clothes for the winter are items that the home must raise money for themselves, if the children are not to go without. Stevie Spit is a new addition to this event. He has been on the entertainment circuit in the Costa Blanca for many years and has been a frequent performer at Benidorm Palace. He is a very colourful character whose easy wit, improvisation and stand-up comedy routine have continued to mesmerise audiences since he moved to the Costa Blanca in 2004. Stevie is known for his flamboyant personality and his interesting dress sense. However, he won’t be the only one on Saturday 24th flaunting his stuff. Some walkers will be in fancy dress and last year set themselves a real
challenge of walking on wooden slats in high heels. However modest, or not, your dress, please come along, show your support and have an enjoyable morning thrown in. If you would like more information you can contact Lyn: 965 077 014/ 676 650 210 or email kenlyn15@hotmail.co.uk Suzanne O’Connell

Few plants can compare to the Begonia for long-lasting colour, reasonable drought tolerance, easy care, and memorable impact when used in mass plantings. With lots of variety, begonias are popular in flowerbeds, for hanging baskets, as container plants, and for indoor houseplants. That's one versatile plant!
B
ecause of their showy flowers of white, pink, red, orange or yellow colour, and often attractively marked leaves, many species and innumerable hybrids and cultivars are cultivated. The different groups of begonias have different cultural requirements, but most species come from tropical regions and therefore they and their hybrids require warm temperatures. Most are forest understory plants and require bright shade; few will tolerate full sun, especially in warmer climates. If you live in an extremely warm or dry location, you will want to plant your begonias where they will be shaded during the hottest part of the day. Begonias are per definition perennials and most begonias can be grown outdoors year-round in subtropical or tropical climates, but in temperate climates begonias are grown outdoors as annuals, or as house or greenhouse plants. Begonias are quite easy plants to grow. All begonias like rich, loose, well drained soil and a monthly feeding. Any balanced fertilizer will work nicely. The day that you plant your begonias, be sure to give them a thorough watering. But, after that, they will only need to be watered whenever they feel dry to the touch. Begonias do not like too much water so it is better to stay a bit on the dry side than risk overwatering them. Begonias are a very large group of plants, but the most common by far are the familiar tuberous begonias and begonias of the semperflorens group (or wax begonias):
Wax begonias Typically, wax begonias are used as bedding plants. Wax begonias come in a variety of flower and leaf colours. For the most part, wax begonias have flowers that are single or doublesided, and the flowers are generally smaller than those of the tuberous begonias. However, they can vary in size, with some newer hybrids having flowers that are up to three inches in diameter. The bronze-leafed varieties are generally more tolerant of hot, sunny
conditions, so keep this in mind when planting in bright sun areas. Once established, begonias are surprisingly drought tolerant, but be sure to keep new transplants well watered for the first month or so. Once the begonias start to bloom you are in for a real treat, because they will not stop blooming until cold weather sets in. If you live in a cold area, you may want to grow wax begonias in pots so you can bring them in when it gets cold. They will thrive in pots as well. Just make sure that your pots have drainage holes so that even in a pot they have well-drained soil.
growing cycle.
Tuberous begonias
Insect and Disease
As you might expect, these are grown from tubers. Many begonias will grow and flower year-round, but tuberous begonias usually have a dormant period, during which the tubers can be stored in a cool and dry place. In the spring, plant your begonia tubers in the soil, hollow side upwards. The top should be just about level with the ground or dirt surface. After the first shoots emerge, you should give the plants a little water. You are likely to have flowers from early summer and into autumn, depending on where you are located. After blooming has finished for the season leave the foliage in place; don’t cut it off. The leaves will gather sunlight, create food through photosynthesis and strengthen the bulb for the future. Leaves and stalks may be removed when they yellow. Begonia tubers cannot remain in the soil over the winter in very cold climates. If you live in an area where your begonias aren’t winter hardy, dig
There’s great news here! Your begonias should have few if any problems with insects or disease. Begonias are prized equally for their flower as well as their showy leaves. When they are not in bloom, which is infrequent once established, their attractive, waxy green or chocolate coloured leaves show themselves off wherever you have placed them. All varieties will grow compact, dense foliage, and grow about 6-9 inches tall. Begonias like attention. Remove dead flowers, leaves, and stems. Trim off long stems to help retain its compact shape. A little care will pay you back with lusher foliage and more blooms. Begonia flowers are edible (They have a citrus-spicy taste), but you will get more mileage from the tuberous types because of their much larger flowers.
Propagation Most begonias are easily propagated by division or from stem cuttings. In addition, many can be propagated from leaf cuttings or even sections of leaves.
the tubers before the first frost. Shake off any excess dirt and let them dry in a warm spot for several days. Cut off any bad spots. Then, carefully pull the roots, stems and leaves off the tuber. Wrap each tuber in a brown paper bag
or wrapper and put them in a cool, dry place for the winter. If you garden in a warm climate, you can leave the tubers in the ground all winter. Your begonias will rest for a few months before beginning the next

Plans for a new school The town council has been inspecting sites on which to build a new primary school in Torrevieja. The school will be called Colegio Amanecer and the area of land of Villa Amalia was originally considered to be a suitable site. However, after further consideration, the unused land that was

COUNCILLORS AND TECHNICIANS INSPECT THE SITE the temporary home for Colegio Ciudad de Oviedo and near the CDT, is now considered a better option. Town hall technicians met with councillors on the 14th September to look at issues to do with the construction of the new school. This was followed by a meeting with parents and the headteacher in order to inform them of the process that will be followed and methods of communication. The mayor, José Manuel Dolón, has informed them that that the council has changed its mind about using the Villa Amalia as the location of the new school. Instead they prefer to use the land left unoccupied following the removal of the pre-
of the new building will not be held up,’ explained the mayor,’ and can start as soon as possible.’ The level of the ground at the Villa Amalia site has been mentioned as one impediment to the location. There are also concerns about the original site for the school which came to light during an inspection by technicians. These include the smell that sometimes comes from the sewage treatment plant in the area, the noise from the N332 and the desalination plant being only 500 metres away. Amanecer school currently has 286 pupils registered with it and 213 use the school bus. Fewer buses would be needed if the plans to locate the school here are carried out.

‘You Can’t Be Serious’ is a weekly tongue in cheek look at the world through Bernie Comaskey’s eyes. With kind permission of the Westmeath Examiner. bernie.comaskey@gmail.com
It’s all up in the air
People are habit and herd creatures. We tend to adapt to the form of whatever group we find ourselves in at any point in time: Football match, doctor’s surgery, church service, weddings, and so on. The herd mentality manifests itself no end among travellers and nowhere more so than on an aircraft. Sort of … ‘we are all in this thing together –sink or swim.’ The woman sitting beside you is likely to divulge family secrets that would cause her daughters to head for Australia if they only knew what she tells, and the man with the mistress trusts that what’s seen in the ‘mile high’, stays in ‘mile high’. You hear some funny come-outs up in the clouds. A very nervous elderly lady sitting beside me with her eyes tightly closed and a rosary beads clenched in her fist for the last half hour before landing, remained thus until the plane taxied to a stop and then on opening her eyes shrieked at the top of her voice, ‘I’m alive … I’m alive … thank God I’m alive!’ And then there was the guy who asked those behind him and were clapping the pilot for landing; ‘do you boo him if he crashes?!’ The wit doesn’t only emanate from passengers. Every once in a while you come across an entertaining cabin crew member. There is this Ryanair guy with a clipped accent, who can be extremely funny in his delivery of routine announcements – a born entertainer. I won’t repeat some of his better lines here – just in case his boss happens to be reading this!
It probably has stiffened up a bit in recent years due to the serious business of airport security, but in the old days air travel was distinctly more casual in the United States. Some crew members performed as if they were on the stage – and maybe some of them should have been! Some of the humour was spontaneous and some wasn’t. Make up your own mind about the following … After a seriously rough touch down in Phoenix, the flight attendant digressed from her script with; ‘Ladies and gentlemen, please remain in your seats until Captain Crash and his crew have brought the aircraft to a screeching halt against the gate. And once the tire smoke has cleared and the warning bells are silenced, we’ll open the door and you can pick your way through the wreckage!’ On a Southwest flight, the flight attendant ran out of patience when asking boarding passengers to choose their seat and step in out of the aisle: ‘People … people … we’re not choosing furniture here … find a damn seat and get in it!’ Pilots are not averse to throwing in their own wee wit bit – as we have all heard from time to time. This can often be at the expense of cabin crew – and could possibly be a portion of payback coming from the cockpit. On a Continental flight, with a very senior cabin crew, the pilot probably had to make a quick run for it, after making the following announcement early in the flight; ‘Ladies and gentlemen, we have reached our cruising altitude and will shortly be
turning down the cabin lights. This is for your comfort and to enhance the appearance of your flight attendants!’ Ouch … I’d say that guy got no coffee on the flight! Nor did this fellow: ‘We are pleased to have some of the best flight attendants in the industry … Unfortunately, none of them are on this flight!’ After a particularly bumpy landing during a thunderstorm in Memphis, a flight attendant announced; ‘Please take care when opening the overhead compartments, because after a landing like that you can be sure as hell that everything shifted!’ And just a couple more little ones to help earn my keep for the week … ‘In the event of sudden loss of cabin pressure, oxygen masks will descend from the ceiling. Stop screaming, grab the mask, and pull it over your face!’ ‘Your seat cushions can be used for flotation and in the event of an emergency landing in water, please take them with our compliments!’ ‘If you have a small child travelling with you, secure their mask before assisting with theirs. If you are travelling with two or more small children, decide now which one you love more!’ ‘Last one off the plane must clean it!’
Air travel is wonderful because it allows you to pass motorists at a safe distance.

Never assume!
Rebecca Serwotka – Your favourite local property expert, of Inmobiliaria Real Estate Agents in Ciudad Quesada.
When you talk about property, everyone has an opinion; sometimes it’s a valid and realistic point of view, but there are times when an opinion can be very wrong. As a professional Real Estate Agency, it’s our job to guide both buyers and sellers in achieving their goal; when a buyer is looking for a specific investment, we select what could fit their search criteria. When a seller is searching for the ideal buyer, we actively look for the right person that could “fit the bill” perfectly. However, there are times when buyers’ emotions can distort an opportunity. Everyone has valid reasons for moving house. For some, it might be time to relocate themselves and their family to embark on a new and better life. For others, it might be a need for extra rooms, or even the opposite, and downsizing when the family have flown the nest, is their choice. But then, there are some circumstances when people are forced to sell their home, due to financial or health reasons, and that’s when it’s our task to be compassionate, and guide them the best and quickest way in achieving a sale. In my job, it can pull at your heartstrings, especially when life in general is not going according to plan for some selected sellers. But, I always tell them to try not to stress about life’s hurdles, and attempt to “go with the flow.” Sometimes, due to one person’s misfortune,
another person can make a great investment; especially when we are able to match the two of them together, of which can be extremely rewarding. But one thing will always remain; unless you have been specifically informed of the reason the home is for sale, never assume you know why! Believe me, my job can be unbelievably stressful when I sit and hear some very sad reasons for needing to sell a property quickly, and pricing it well below market value is the sellers’ only option of a quick exit. An hour of crying with the homeowner makes you really appreciate all of the positives you have in your life, even if you don’t think they’re much. Then the day comes when that property sells and the homeowner holds your hand and thanks you with tears in his eyes, for helping to release him of one of the obstacles in his life, in order to focus on what’s more important for his immediate future, is true job satisfaction. There are happy moments too, when we do experience some wonderful reasons why people decide to sell, such as starting on a new adventure like marriage, where maintaining two houses isn’t practical anymore, and letting go of one property is a joyful reason for selling. I guess the people I’m writing about may see themselves in my blog this week, but out of respect, I will not mention any names…. But let’s just say congratulations to Mary N. of Doña Pepa! So you see, there are always genuine reasons for selling property, just spare a thought for those who need to sell a little quicker than others. Who knows, even if you’re not looking to buy, maybe you know someone that is! You’ll never really know whom you could be helping. Think property? Think us, because life’s complicated enough!

Trust Me I’m a Doctor BBC2 – 9.00 pm
The doctors investigate the truth behind more health claims and headlines. Michael Mosley and the doctors undertake the most ambitious experiment yet on the series - testing whether the spice turmeric could help protect us against cancer, with the help of nearly 100 volunteers, several UK universities and some brand new technology. Gabriel Weston learns how one of these methods, based on a new understanding of the very beginnings of cancer, could soon provide us all with personalised cancer tests. Dr Chris van Tulleken investigates whether glucosamine pills really help with joint pain, and Dr Saleyha Ahsan looks at whether cheap painkillers are as good as expensive brands. Guest Dr Zoe Williams, meanwhile, tries out home cholesterol test kits.

Johnny Cash - The Man, His World, His Music – BBC 4 – 9.00 pm
Robert Elfstrom’s 1969 classic film captures the Man in Black at his peak, the first of many in a looming rollercoaster career. Fresh on the heels of his Folsom Prison album, Cash reveals the dark intensity and raw talent that made him a country music star and cultural icon. Elfstrom got closer than
any other filmmaker to Cash, who is seen performing with his new bride June Carter Cash, in a rare duet with Bob Dylan and behind the scenes with friends, family and aspiring young musicians - painting an unforgettable portrait that endures beyond the singer's death in 2003.

Speed with Guy Martin – ITV – 9.00 pm
Guy Martin sets out to become the first person to cross the English Channel in a human-powered airship. Working closely with French aeronautical engineer StÚphane Rousson, Guy plans to sit on a 'flying bicycle' suspended beneath a helium-filled balloon the size of a bus, with every pedal stroke spinning two propellers. Guy learns to fly indoors, at the historic Cardington Hangars in Bedfordshire, the former factory where some of the world's biggest flying machines were created. He also takes a fast jet pilot course with the British military elite so that he knows what to do if he has to crash land. Taking off from Kent, Guy has to cover 24 miles over the busiest shipping lane in the world to reach the French coast: a journey that might take eight hours if the wind is blowing in the wrong direction.

False claims by British tourists The Benidorm hotelier’s association, Hosbec, are claiming that British lawyers are encouraging holiday makers to make false claims against the hotels there. The lawyers advertise that tourists can reclaim the money they have spent on their holiday. ‘Some holidays in Benidorm cost nothing,’ reports Hosbec in the Spanish paper Informacion. Hosbec claim that the practice is increasing and is fuelled by a small group of lawyers who are acting in this unprincipled fashion. They are no win, no fee lawyers who target specific groups and encourage them to take out the false claims. In recent years, this has allegedly cost hoteliers several million euros in lost fees. The procedure is simple. The client presents his claim to the tour operator who sold them their package holiday. It usually includes a claim that during the holiday the tourist contracted a stomach bug as a result of eating the food there. All-inclusive hotels have been particular susceptible to this and are most frequently the target. Once the claim has been made, sometimes as long as six months after the holiday has taken place,the tour operator accepts it and automatically deducts from
the money paid to the hotel. This can happen several times and leads to a significant loss for the hotel concerned. As a result of this practice some larger hotels have decided to cancel their contracts with the tour operators. The problem being that in the majority of cases, the hotel is made aware of the claim until the money is deducted from their invoice. ‘We don’t have opportunity to defend ourselves or address the claim,’ protested one hotel owner. It’s not just the cost of the holiday itself but also the lawyer’s fees that they have to pay for. ‘Often the money the client receives is around £500 whilst the lawyer receives £5,000,’ says Hosbec. The hotelier’s association is now looking for way of addressing the problem which they see as being immoral and undermining the whole system of consumer rights. ‘It’s a completely unsustainable system for the sector. The majority of claimants are only interested in making money out of it and it is too easy to do.’ If you were in any doubt about the validity of what Hosbec are saying it is worth googling ‘hotel abroad claims’ and seeing the number of lawyers in the UK who are now making this big business.

Generous Donation of Artwork to ‘Reach Out’ Local successful artist Jim Barry has kindly donated three prints of his original 'Victorian London' trio of paintings to the charity "Reach Out" to raise money. Well known for his permanent exhibition of paintings in the church Iglesia del Salvador, Jim’s prints will hopefully help this worthwhile charity that helps the poor and homeless in the area. His wife Jan a former professional dancer is a volunteer at “Reach Out” as well as being a dab hand with the artist's brush herself. David and Lorraine Whitney, volunteers and managers of the “Reach Out” shop in Calle Doña Sinforosa 8 Torrevieja, were more than pleased to accept Jim's works of art for the charity. It is now hoped that the prints will be sold or auctioned in the very near future. Jim Barry and Jan Cave Barry.

Alicante third best province for property purchases You can tell that the property sector is in recovery as there are so many more estate agents around than there were a few years ago, and it seems that many are selling quite a lot of properties too. This is particularly the case for the province of Alicante, as figures released by the School of Property Registrars have revealed that between April and June this year, a total of 7,901 homes were purchased, which is an increase of 20.7 percent from the same period last year. Last year, 2015, property purchases had also gone up by 10 percent from the previous year, showing steady and continuous growth. The data shows that these are the best figures for property sales that we have seen since the summer of 2008, when the second quarter closed with 8,052 operations. These numbers are still a long way off what we were used to seeing during the time of the property bubble, which saw these figures doubled. However, it is definitely true to say that no one really wants to return to that level of activity if the end result is the same. In any case, with a total of 7,901 property transactions during the second quarter of 2016, this means that Alicante is the third province in the whole of Spain with the greatest volume of operations. Alicante sits behind Madrid, with 15,540 purchases, and Barcelona, with 12,191. However, if you look at the number of houses sold for every 1,000 inhabitants in
the province, Alicante then moves up to second position, sitting just behind Malaga. While this is very positive news for the province, it must be noted that the majority of these property purchases are concentrated in the coastal areas, and mainly consists of foreign investors buying a holiday home. This type of purchase makes up50 percent of all the sales. With regards to the purchase of main residences, the market is slightly weaker, although experts believe that this will pick up some time next year. The situation is being helped by very affordable prices and the low rate of the Euribor. Re-sale properties were the most popular when it comes to the type of property investors have purchased. A total of 85 percent of all sales consisted of re-sale properties. As a whole, 107,838 homes were purchased during the second quarter of this year throughout the whole of Spain. This is 23.7 percent higher than for the same period in 2015.

ARE YOU SENSITIVE TO SPIRIT & NOT THE TYPE IN A GLASS!! OR IS YOUR HOME HAUNTED? Read on to find out......... If you've experienced any of the following, then you could be psychic! • Unusual, vivid, or prophetic dreams (dreams that seem to foretell the future). • A sense of knowing that everything will turn out alright • Knowing when the phone will ring and when it does, you have a sense of who it is going to be • Thinking of a person you haven’t seen for ages and then bumping into them or receiving an e-mail or text from them • Having a song playing over in your head, then turning the radio on and there it is! • A feeling of comfort around you even in times of trouble • Knowing what someone is about to say before they do! • Predicting events for the future • Feeling people’s emotions • Being a sensitive soul & often feeling drained especially by other people
IS THERE ANYBODY THERE?
What do I do to develop my psychic gift? Try it out. Relax, trust in your abilities, and enjoy it! • Join a psychic development class • Meditate – either alone or a guided meditation. Write down what you experience • Keep a spiritual journal to keep an account of your development • Using some gentle divination cards such as Angel Cards or Unicorn cards. Shuffle the cards. Think of a situation or a question that you want an answer to, fan the cards out, and ask your Spirit Guide to help you to pick the right card. Believe and trust that your Spirit Guide is with you and don’t worry that you haven’t met them yet or know their name. If your answer is no, or you choose not to develop your gift but unexplained things are still happening around your home on a regular basis, then you may have company! However, don't despair as the following will help you to determine if what's happening really is your imagination or not........ What type of buildings can be haunted? Although most people that you would ask about this one would say old properties, or buildings that
houses many people such as Prisons, hospitals, Castles etc, the reality is, that ANY property can be haunted – even modern ones. However, the likelihood is that more old properties tend to have the ‘haunted feeling’ about them, as they have more history and habitation than newer buildings. The key is why is that building haunted, and we will be talking about this later on. What feelings does one have in a ‘haunted’ property? • Feelings of being watched or ‘spied on’ • Feelings of someone standing close behind you • Feelings of being touched by unseen hands • Feelings of the hair on back of neck standing up • Feelings of cobwebby fingers on your face/body • Feeling a cold breeze as if someone has walked past you • Dark depressing feeling especially in one particular area What signs indicate that the building is haunted? • Lights turning on and off or up and down on own • Light bulbs blowing frequently • Sounds of items being dropped but when you go to investigate there
is nothing there • Seeing unexplained shadows from the corner of your eye • Strange behaviour from pets in the property – e.g., dogs barking or growling at something you cannot see, cats staring in a particular area as if they can see someone. • Hearing voices of people, whispers, or someone calling your name • Seeing twinkling lights, mists or unexplained moving shapes • Sudden temperature drops especially in one area of the property These are just a few examples of what you can feel/see/sense in a haunted property. Who is haunting the building, and why? This is the big question, and I have been in many haunted buildings now as co-host on the Rescue Mediums show in Canada. Here are a few examples of ‘who’ we come across whilst filming on the Rescue Mediums Show. • An angry man who had lost most of his family on the earth plane and had turned against God and was going over and over the trauma of losing his loved ones, not believing that he could go to the light because he felt he didn’t deserve to, with going against God. • A soldier, who had died violently
on the battlefield and kept going over and over the awful conditions he experienced during that time. • A male spirit who had encountered an awful childhood with his bullying father. When his father came forward to greet him as we sent the younger male to the light he refused to acknowledge his father and walked right past him into his mother’s arms. • Unknown and definitely unwelcome spirits who kept coming through a portal whilst a young girl ‘played’ with a Ouija board. I think my house is haunted! If it is, the spirit won't just go away of their own accord. You can do a few things to alleviate stagnant energy as a temporary measure such as 'smudging' but you will need to call on a reputable medium to come to your home and investigate. They will communicate with the spirit to find out why they are there and how they can assist. Ensure that you call upon a medium who has spirit rescue work experience because if your house really is haunted, someone coming in and confirming this won't help unless they can deal with the situation and send the spirit to the light. Once the spirit has been guided to the light, you will feel the energy lift and your home will become your castle once more.

National Eye Health Week National Eye Health Week takes place from the 19th to the 25th of September in the UK. This is a campaign to encourage everyone to take better care of their eyes and have regular sight tests. Specsavers Opticas in Spain are taking this opportunity to announce their partnership with the Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB) to support its vital work, help educate people about eye health and to raise awareness of how regular eye tests can help reduce preventable sight loss. Specsavers and RNIB recently conducted an important study of the state of the UK’s eyes which revealed that more than six million people in the UK live with sight-threatening conditions or uncorrected refractive error. Some may not yet be experiencing any symptoms and may have no idea that anything is wrong. Of these, more than two million people (3.08% of the UK population) are living with sight loss that has a significant impact on their daily lives. This figure is set to increase to more than 2.7 million by 2030, driven by an increase in the UK’s ageing demographic. Although nearly half of all cases of sight loss in the UK could have been prevented, 14 million people in Britain are not having an eye test as recommended at least every two years. According to a study by Spain’s National Institute of Statistics in 2008, in Spain 979,200 people are suffering a visual disability, 2.14% of the population. Of these 20,900 are people classed with low vision, and there are 58,3000 cases of blindness. This figure is increasing every day, with 3,000 new members joining the

Looking After your Implants The number of women who have breast implants nowadays is very high and therefore it is not surprising that we get a lot of enquiries about implants from our readers. Implants are normally made from either silicone which is often referred to as cohesive gel or silicone shells filled with saline. Most surgeons in Europe prefer cohesive gel and therefore our experience is mainly with these, as well as expanders placed under the chest muscle following mastectomy to stretch the tissue prior to placing implants to replace the breast tissue. These are rather like deflated balloons which are gradually filled by adding saline to them until they expand the chest muscle and then they are removed and replaced, normally with long lasting cohesive gel implants. How long do implants last? How long is a piece of string? There really is no definitive answer as it depends on the implant itself and the woman’s
biological reactions to this implant. Certainly, implants that were used 20 or more years ago are probably not as durable as implants that are produced today. Technology changes and progresses and it is said that
implants used today will last a lifetime. This said it depends very much on individual responses. Some women have no problems at all whilst others can experience problems very soon after surgery. This is down mainly to the individual body response to what is, after all, a foreign body. Again there are differing views
of mammograms and how often they should be carried out. Between one and three years is the norm but it is recognised that following breast implants ultrasound scan is a better diagnostic tool than mammogram. If we have patients with problems with implants we invariably recommend that they have an ultrasound scan to give us a better idea about what the state of the implants are. We still recommend self breast examination each month, as if you know what your breasts feel like normally, you are more likely to notice any changes. There is a myriad of information about breast implants on the internet but as we do get a lot of enquiries from “worried well” it seemed a good idea to give it a mention here in our column. If in doubt, check it out!

blind charity ONCE each year and as of June 2016 there are 72,091 ONCE members who are classed as legally blind. It is not simply the cost to the way of life of these people that is important to note. Independent research commissioned by RNIB estimates that the total cost of sight loss to the UK economy is in the region of £28 billion a year. In Spain, it was calculated to be 358 million Euros in 2008 and increasing. This shows how vital it is to get the message out there that you need to take care of your eyes, and make sure everyone has sight tests every two years from the age of three. RNIB Group Vice Chair Eleanor Southwood says: “Stopping people losing their sight unnecessarily is a goal we

Art for Everyone! If you are looking for a new challenge this autumn, learning to paint and draw is a wonderful way to relax, meet new friends and to discover a talent you never knew you had. Learning to do something creative actually has a very calming effect on the brain. It’s incredibly relaxing and rewarding, and a pastime you can take up even if you have restricted mobility. Over the years I’ve known people reduce their medication, overcome stress and depression and discover an ability they never dreamed was there, simply by learning to draw and paint. Even those with serious illnesses have found relief and companionship in the friendly atmosphere of an art class. I always encourage beginners to spend the first few weeks learning to draw accurately as it is such an important building block to becoming a good artist, and all initial equipment and exercises are provided. After that they can choose whether to try watercolours, oil, pastels or acrylics I currently have two classes each week; Monday mornings at PALS Social Club, La Siesta (10.30-1.00 pm), and Thursday mornings are at La Herradura Restaurant (next to the REPSOL Garage) in Los Montesinos from 10.00 – 12.15pm. I hope to start a third class on Tuesday or Wednesday mornings when a suitable venue presents itself There is more information on my website www.sue-stokes.co.uk or call me on 680 961 025 You can see my original artwork, and fine art prints at La Herradura where I have a permanent exhibition.

Richard via email asks: Dear Aunty. I have a new windows 10 laptop and find my desktop icons have become hidden. I must have done something wrong so how can I rectify this? I am 77 years old and feel a bit silly about it. Aunty Says: Hi Richard. Probably what you have accidently done is to switch off the “show

mail error Ox8D00005” and will not send or receive mail. Many Thanks. Aunty Says: Hello Alan. This problem has been around for a while and seems to mostly affect people running older versions of Outlook and Windows Live Mail. I messaged Microsoft who surprisingly didn’t reply so maybe try the free email app that comes bundled with Window 8 & 10. Type Mail into the search bar by the start icon. I personally scrapped using any kind of email app years ago and have since always accessed my email accounts via the web, a lot less hassles and much more secure. I notice you have one of the Orange group email addresses so
go to orange.co.uk and have a go using webmail rather than using an email app. Any @hotmail or @live.com users can also access their webmail via login.live.com

Alan via email asks: Hi Aunty, could you help me? When I go into Outlook I can open existing emails but two messages come up saying “server error 3219” and “windows live
Trevor via email asks: Hi Aunty. I have Windows 10 which has a free Antivirus program and I also have a Kaspersky program which costs approx €25 a year and it is now ready for renewal. My question is, is it worth paying for this extra protection? I enjoy your column. Aunty Says: Hello Trevor. The built-in Windows defender is quite adequate and of course it is free but I would strongly recommend also downloading and installing the free Malwarebytes (not the trial version) from www.malwarebytes.com and run a scan with both apps once a week. Richard from Torrevieja asks: Dear Aunty. We regularly use Skype but the sound quality is terrible so how easy would it be to improve the speakers on my Acer laptop? The Microphone is fine and I really don’t want to use a headphone and mic headset as I like my wife to chat to the grandkids with me. Aunty Says: Hi Richard. Very easy with set of computer desktop speakers which you can pick up for under €30. They will plug into the small input on the side/front of your laptop which should be marked with a small headphone symbol. Get a decent set that has a mains power plug rather than the USB powered type as they will perform better and you can also use your laptop for playing music and YouTube videos etc. Logitech, Creative and Trust are all fairly good quality but do avoid the crappy Chino rubbish. Any questions, you can email me at: auntyvirus@costablancapeople.com and hopefully see you all next week.

Seatbelts and child restraints are new focus The DGT Traffic authority has revealed that the focus of its autumn safety campaign will be the use of seatbelts and child restraints. Figures have revealed a 23% decrease in the use of seatbelts last year (figures gleaned from accident statistics on 159 intercity and 19 urban roads across Spain in 2015). The DGT is keen to remind motorists that the use of seatbelts significantly reduces the risk of injury or death. With this in mind, the DGT is carrying out a campaign to check seatbelt use and correct use of child safety restraints. Monitoring of seat belt use by the Guardia Civil will be increased with the commissioning of 222 automatic detection cameras installed on roads. In the near future, the number of cameras will be increased by 55 to reach a total of 277. 60% of the cameras will be installed on conventional roads, which are the highest accident ‘black spots’ and the remaining 40% will be placed on high occupancy roads. To ‘break in’ the new cameras during the first month, drivers captured with
no seatbelt will be sent a letter from the DGT informing them that they have been caught with no seatbelt which will, in the future if they are caught again, incur a €200 fine and three points off their licence. The surveillance campaign coincides with the return to school of thousands
of children. For this reason, the DGT reminds adults that rushing pick up the kids from school is no excuse for not putting the seat belt or child restraint on the child. This type of short journey is, according to the DGT, where the largest incidence of risky behaviour is evident.
The new campaign is announced

aking their first appearance at Pablo’s International in Playa Flamenca on Tuesday are the very popular Everlys. The duo are excited about playing to the new audience in an area they have never done. Rick and Dan are both accomplished musicians and not only cover The Everly Brother hits like Cathy’s Clown but also bring to life songs we all know from The Beatles, Buddy Holly and the Peter Pan of music Cliff Richard. The bar is well known in the area for putting on top quality music all year round and is the Sunday evening home of Richie Alexander.
On Wednesday there is your chance to see Rock n Pop trio Done n Dusted in Consum Square in La Marina. The lads recently packed over 300 people in the bars when doing one of their other guises The Trio, so one Wednesday looks like being another very busy night for the folks in La Marina. If you are looking for something to do on Thursday I would say that you won’t do better than getting yourself down to Villamartin Plaza to see The Geckos. These unassuming lads really do what they say on the tin, which is play something for everyone. They recently played a show for me and had the audience up and dancing practically from the first note. No wonder they are the house band. Get out your blue suede shows on Friday, because Elvis is in town! You can be “All Shook Up” at The Fat Owl. If you are in the San Miguel area, the newly started Friday night live entertainment continues with party girl Vicky Lou at The Black Bull in San Miguel. Vicky and Johnny Scott have just been booked for alternate Sundays where they will be serenading diners who are enjoying the new Cava Carvery. I have it on very good authority that the spread and quality of food is something to behold. Fine food and music along with a few drinks and a view over the countryside have got to be the perfect was to while away a Sunday afternoon. Once again thank you for your kind emails. I do my best to get everyone in who asks. Details are correct at the time of sending but this is a fickle business and acts get ill and bars have music stopped after the listing has been sent. Please continue to enjoy live music in all the venues that provide it. There is so much choice in all areas and I know that the acts just love to see you. Have a fun week everyone.

TORRY TURN THINGS ROUND On Sunday Torry entertained Rayo Ibense who gained promotion to Tercera at the end of last season. They have settled comfortably into higher level football and before the game were in mid-table in 10th place with 23 points from 16 games, 6 places and 7 points better off than Torry. They beat Novelda at home in their last outing. A fortnight ago. Torry needed to build on their 3 -1 win against Recambios Colon to move them away from the relegation zone. Vicente Boix was restored to the side after a one match suspension at the expense of young Croatian defender Matej. Cesar was also restored to the starting line-up in preference to the other young Croatian, Brani. The Torry line up: Miguel Serna, Vicente Boix, Luis Carlos, Javi Selvas, Quintero, Martin (Sanchez 45 '), Higón, Burguillos © ,Cesar (Manu Amores 69'), Ruben Suarez and Lewis (Carrasco 86 '). Not used: Kike and Matej. The game was again played on the artificial playing surface at the Nelson Mandela. The game kicked off with the sun going down and the temperatures beginning to drop in front of a crowd of around 300 hardcore supporters. The first 15 minutes were quite scrappy with the opposition having the edge without troubling Torry keeper Serna. Torry had little cohesion with the opposition pressing high up the field and Martin and Burguillos getting caught in possession a bit too often. Torry started to come to life after the 20 minute mark when Cesar was played in with the keeper just getting to the ball before Cesar. On 22 minutes Cesar hit a superb raking crossfield pass to the far post which found Higon and his shot on target from an
angle was blocked by the Rayo keeper. After 24 minutes a free-kick into the Torry box was met with a powerful header by the giant Rayo no.4 which crashed against the crossbar and came back into play and was cleared. Cesar then had a couple of half chances, his first effort being blocked after being found from a superb pass by Ruben Suarez. The second came after the Rayo keeper spilled a deep cross from Higon with his effort being deflected off a defender for a corner. After 36 minutes Rayo opened up the Torry defence and Serna did well to block a goal-bound effort at the expense of a corner. Rayo were coming back strongly into the game. After 41 minutes Javi Selvas failed to cut out a through ball from a Rayo midfield and their no.9 took it on and beat Serna with a composed
La Marina Golf Society THE MASTERS TROPHY We met at the beautiful Las Colinas course on a cooler day than of late to compete for the prestigious Masters Trophy. The difficult course took its toll on many of us and nobody achieved the level of scoring that had been seen in recent weeks. However our everconsistent ladies came close to renaming the trophy as the 'Mistresses Trophy' (in the nicest possible way of course). Third position was taken by our Social Secretary Elspeth Craig with 32 points and Sarah McCabe took 2nd place on count back with 33 points. Masters champion on 33 points was Eric Taylor on his return from the U.K and he and Sarah also took NTP prizes Mike Green took the only other NTP. The 2's prize was shared between John Lywood and Elspeth Craig. Our next meeting is at La Peraleja on 29th September 10.00 start at a cost of 30 Euros ,playing for the Optima Optica Trophy. La Marina Golf Society welcomes
new members whether they be permanent residents or non-residents. We have many social functions during the year including dinner/dances and quiz nights. Our secretary Alan Craig would welcome calls on 965077204 or by e-mail at a100ac@yahoo.co.uk.

finish to give Rayo the lead. Just before the break Vicente delivered a good cross which Lewis headed wide from a good position. Torry manager Pedreno introduced Sanchez to the action at the beginning of the second half, taking off Martin who had had an indifferent first half. Torry started the second period well with greater vigour and more urgency and took the game to Rayo. They got their reward for their efforts after 54 minutes when Lewis clipped a low cross from Luis Carlos into the roof of the net for the equaliser. 5 minutes later Lewis was at it again when he struck a fierce shot into the corner of the net from just outside the area after great play by Sanchez. Torry then had a bit of a breather with Rayo failing to threaten. Then after 76 minutes
after a brilliant interplay between Luis Carlos and Sanchez with the latter finding Higon who played the ball back to Ruben Suarez on the edge of the box. Suarez struck the ball with the outside of his left foot and it flew into the top corner of the net for a third goal to Torry and to give them a two goal cushion. Torry continued to take the game to Rayo and could have added to their tally with a few close efforts before the game came to a close. A great second half performance by Torry turned things round and lifts them a place up the table and will give them added confidence going into their next game on Saturday against strugglers Jove Espanol. Lets hope they can make it 3 wins in a row and climb higher up the table before the Christmas break. Darrylldinho
A GOOD START TO THE SAMM AUTUMN RACE SERIES Six boats and their crews competed in the first day of the Sailing Association Mar Menor’s Autumn 2016 series on September 11th, a good number considering many members have not yet returned to Spain after their summers away. Wind was 5 to 7 Knots NE and sea state moderate. It was decided by the RO to conduct one race consisting of 6 laps. A fairly lengthy course was set entailing approximately 25 to 30 minutes per lap. Start gate was between the bows of the two moored ferries with the race officials having excellent oversight from one. The start gate was slightly narrower than usual and proved to be an exciting challenge, which all boats met with excellent handling skills. First to go were the two sailfish with only 5 seconds separating them over the start line. The dinghy start was even more exciting with all 4 boats jostling for position and crossing within seconds of each other, too close to set them apart. Six laps proved to be
quite tiring for some of the crews and pretty soon they were all spaced out over the course. Despite that, with the slight adjustments of the handicaps since last season, the final results were quite close with Sirocco first followed by Shoestring Dos and Tres in close pursuit. At the debrief everyone agreed that it was a good course, a very enjoyable day. It was pleasing to note that almost everyone stayed for the debrief and a little social get together afterwards. All SAMM races take place from the CTD sports center on the beach at Los Narejos. Registration is at 10am and non-members are welcome. The next race day is on September 18th then every other Sunday till November 27th. For more information about SAMM see their web site www.sailingmarmenor.com

San Miguel Golf Society Real Madrid equal record and stay ahead Another large turnout for SMGS saw 46 members and 3 guests play a stableford competition and the final round of this season’s Eclectic, all rounds having been played at Las Colinas. In its usual good condition, but set up reasonably long with some tricky pin positions and greens at least twice as fast as those the society has been playing recently, only 10 members managed to score more than 30 points. Thirty-four was the best that could be mustered, and even a mere 24 points was enough to win a prize in bronze, a score that 8 players managed. These, however, bettered another 12 who fared even worse. So a tough day for most, but Keith Stevenson (53 points) managed to comfortably hold on to his Eclectic lead, which he has held since at least after the 2nd round back in February,
beating John Osborne (49) in to second place, with Alan Gilbert pushed by John in to third on count back. The day’s Stableford results, by category and in reverse order, were the following: Bronze Category: 5th David Marshall (24 on CB), 4th Keith Wraithmell (25), 3rd Keith Stevenson (27), 2nd Chris Hamblett (34 on CB) and 1st Norman McBride (34 on CB). Silver Category: 5th Glen Rapley (31 on CB), 4th Phil Birtwistle (31 on CB), 3rd Alan Gilbert (32), 2nd Phil de Lacy (34 on CB), and 1st Paul Wainwright (34 on CB). Gold Category: 5th Paul Griffin (30 on CB), 4th Barry Roehrig (30 on CB), 3rd Robin Eastman (32 on CB), 2nd Jamie Rorison (32 on CB) and 1st Geoff Giddy with 33 points.
The Abacus was won by Ian Dutton. Nearest the pins (open to all) on the par 3’s were won by Adrian Roberts (5), Barry Roehrig (7), Alan Gilbert (10), Ivan Hanak (14) and Steve Higgins (17). The Best Guest prize was won by Adrian Roberts with a score matching the best of the members, i.e. 34 points. Our thanks go to the staff at Las Colinas golf course for their contribution to an enjoyable day. Next week, September 21st, SMGS will be at Alenda for a 2 ball better ball. Keep up to date with all SMGS matters by logging on to our website www.smgs.org or simply give Barry Roehrig a call on 966 731 033 to find out more about the society and its weekly golf get-togethers.
After the Friday evening Andalucian clash between Betis and Granada resulted in an entertaining two-all draw, Barcelona visited upstarts Leganés, with all their considerable guns blazing. Predictably, their star forwards proved too much for the Madrid minnows, and a 1-5 result was unsurprising. Atletico then entertained Sporting de Gijón, and went one better, winning 5-0, with Antoine Griezmann putting on a world-class performance – again. After another miserable show by Valencia, losing their fourth in a row, this time to Athletic Bilbao, and a sparky win by Villareal over Real Sociedad, it was left to Real Madrid to wrap up Sunday’s programme with a trip to Español. Zidane’s men, without the services of Bale or Ronaldo, knew that a win would equal the record of successive wins held by Pep Guardiola’s Barça. In the event, their midfield soon lost the power of Casemiro, who limped off injured, and they looked out of sorts for most of the first half, until deep into injury time, when James threaded through a precise shot to put them ahead. They
points with Zaragoza, who beat Alcorcón 2-0. Just a point behind come three somewhat unlikely contenders, Mirandés, Reus and Lugo, who thrashed Elche 0-3 in the Martin Valero. Local fortunes were no better served in division 2B, where Hercules went down to Valencia B, though Alcoyano did a little better, drawing away at Sabadell. The only club with 100% record apart from Real Madrid anywhere
in the league is currently Marbella, who have won all their five group 4 games. In group 2, when Leioa visited Real Madrid Castilla, the match was goalless until the last second of a long injury time, when Castilla won a penalty, duly converted by Enzo Zidane. In England, Pep’s Manchester City march on, hammering Bournemouth 40, with Belgian Kevin de Bruyne looking great. Leicester City have regained their composure after a slow start, new signing Slimani on target as they eased past Burnley, but Mourinho is busy thinking up new excuses for his Manchester United side, after they went down at Watford. It couldn’t just be that they’ve picked the wrong trainer, could it? Away from football, Great Britain were beaten narrowly in the Davis Cup semi-final by Argentina, while Spain made good their return to the elite in that competition by beating India 5-0. The Paralympics are now over, and the overall winners have been Brazil, whose organization and provision of facilities for the Olympics and Paralympics has been far better than anyone envisaged.

Imanyo Golf Society A fantastic day for the first competition of the new season sponsored by Danny and Sharon Collins from England. The day started with a full English breakfast in Imanyo’s, the format was full handicap Stableford split into two groups, A low handicap and B high handicap, the eventual winner would be the highest score from either group. Winner of the Collins Continental Cup was Alec Aspden from group B with 29 points, runner up in group B was Mick Billins on count back with 18 points just beating Dave Sanders, another regular winner was John Macmillan in group A with 27 points, runner up in group A was Alan Byrne with 25 points. Only one of the four par three nearest the pins was won and that was hole 17 by Mick Billins, hole two in two shots was Alan Byrne and hole 16 in three shots was John Macmillan, the longest drive on hole 11 was new member Gary Graham. The presentation was held at Imanyo’s where good food and a few drinks were waiting. Thank you to Danny and Sharon Collins for providing and presenting all the prizes, also thank you to Antonio, Norma and staff at Imanyo’s Bar for the fantastic food and great hospitality.

We were on the El Bosquet Complex on the 13th September for the 2nd round of the Winter Series. With the forecast of rain expected we did not peg the back channel, although it did not rain at all. With the water fishing its head off for the last few week’s, we were expecting bumper bags of fish, but sadly not to be, it could be that Bill Reade is right with his prophesy that fish do not feed properly on a full moon. There was only one weight over 20kgs and other than 2nd and 3rd spot, the rest were well below the 10kg mark, fish just would not respond to the pellet up in the water, corn and paste taking the top weights. 1st Lennie Bolton with 23.340 fishing the pole using paste 2nd Mick Hill with 16.580kgs fishing the pole using corn 3rd Terry Screen with 14.520kgs fishing the pole using corn and bread There are still some vacancies available for membership at the club All details are available on our website www.abbeyangling.com or from me on 965328368
This week’s open match was fished on the river Segura at Murcia on the 14th September. The river looked to be in good condition with a fair flow. We were told that the water had been fully pegged for roughly 130 pegs for a junior under 25’s Spanish National Qualifiers match on the 2nd and 4th September, I hope there days fishing was better than most of us had, except for the top two places weights were very poor. The pole is still not producing fish, most anglers opting to fish the method feeder on the far bank. 1st Terry Screen with 14.400kgs fishing the method feeder using bread and corn 2nd Doug Hornblow with 14.220kgs fishing the method feeder using bread and corn 3rd Lennie Bolton with 3.800kgs fishing the method feeder and pole using bread and corn There are still some vacancies at the Club and if anyone is interested in joining please contact Derek Swann on 9966729293 or 617283503 Terry Screen

Water sports on show On Thursday 15th September, La Mata beach played host to the first Jornada de Exhibición de Deportes Náuticos, organised by the department of tourism,. The event was organised to publicise the range of nautical activities that are available in the marinas in Torrevieja. The activities began at 11am and continued until 8pm. Councillor for tourism, Fanny Serrano, was there to launch the day and participated in some of the activities. A wide variety of sports were on offer including; padel surfing, flyboarding, jetboarding, jet skis, surfing and other water sports. The day provided an opportunity for towns people and visitors to try something different at half price. The president of Real Club Náutico, Germán Soler, the manager of the International Marina, Trinidad Pujante,
and the manager of Marina Salinas, José Antonio Santacruz, were all present too. These three representatives of the three marinas in the town were enthusiastic about this opportunity to demonstrate what is available here. As we reported in the last issue, Councillor Serrano is keen to raise the profile of the different activities that can be enjoyed in Torrevieja throughout the year. ‘The weather and the infrastructure we have means that you can practice these sports almost 365 days a year.’ Councillor Serrano wants people to recognise that water sports such as these are open to everyone. ‘People can be reticent to take part in sports and activities organised by the marinas,’ she explained. ‘They can think that they are elitist. But they are open to all and are hugely enjoyable.’ Suzanne O’Connell
Tales from the Top Flight ■ CHRIS DARWEN chris@costablancapeople.com
Oh football, where to start with you this week. Of course, there is only one place we can really start and that is the very public viewing of Jose Mourinho’s career starting to crumble. Am I being over the top in saying that? Quite possibly, but he has 89 million problems and Pogba isn’t one. What? Someone not getting on Pogba’s back for being really poor value? Correct. Play Pogba a system that has made him look like the player that was bought, and you might be getting somewhere. It is saying something when United fans are starting to reminisce misty eyed over the glory day of David Moyes. I mean, even Van Gaal didn’t manage to spend this much money and lose three games in a week. Not that it is all Mourinho’s fault, of course. The referees are to blame, as is Watford’s “luck” in making Rooney, Fellaini and Zlatan look somewhat average. Still, if the boy Rashford keeps this up it won’t be long before a Champions League side comes in for him. Watford were as good as United were poor, and Mazzarri will have no doubt enjoyed the win over the manager that once called him a donkey. There’s only one donkey now, hey Jose? Well, three if you include Wayne and the lad with the afro.
releasing commemorative DVD’s. A United fan account got a little carried away, thanking Liverpool for taking three points off one of United’s “title rivals.” What title is that sir, the title of “clubs Jose has looked silly at recently?” It’s probably safe to say Hull City’s title bid is over, having lost 4-1 at home to a resurgent Arsenal. Isn’t this completely Arsenal and, more to the point, Arsene? Doubts about this, doubts about that and then bang! Arsenal get two very good results in a week out of the blue. Still, if this is completely Arsenal they will manage to get themselves in and out of a title race by late February. Pep has casually strolled into Manchester and won his first five games,
Your Week in Sport ■ CHRIS DARWEN chris@costablancapeople.com
Those pesky computer hackers, hey? Some athletes are a little twitchy right now after a “group of organised computer hackers” got into WADA’s systems and released quite a few nonRussian competitor’s medical records. Why non-Russian? I can only presume it is because they’ve already been gone over with a fine tooth comb. Sir Bradley Wiggins has had to come out and deny he has done anything wrong other than grow shocking sideburns and Chris Froome has had to repeat things he told the world several years ago. England Rugby are looking to Team GB to see if there are any tips and tricks they can borrow to become world beaters, like the Olympians. Considering the influence Sir Clive Woodward has had behind the scenes in the modern Team GB the RFU are once again showing themselves up to be exactly what they are. The turkeys voted for Christmas in the cricket. A new city based T20 franchise league was voted in by the counties last week. Rather than it being Surrey versus Sussex it could well end up being London Lashers against Brighton Bashers as the ECB look to paint the toilet door another different colour. Still, novelty goes someway. British tennis has finally reached its equilibrium. We are back to being glorious losers, being edged out 3-2 by
Argentina in a fantastic Davis Cup match. Murray and co came back from 2-0 down to level 2-2, but Argentina won the final rubber to clinch their place in the final. The Paralympics came to an end on Sunday night with Team GB winning their highest amount of medals since 1988. Legend David Weir sadly ended his Paralympic career without a final medal in Rio, but will be remembered as an alltime great and inspiration to other athletes. The closing ceremony included a fitting tribute to Iranian cyclist Bahman Golbarnezhad who sadly died in a road race accident. Finally, Lewis Hamilton has been over taken in the F1 World Championship. Nico Rosberg claimed his 22nd career win to finish first in Singapore. Hamilton was on the podium in third and now has a gap to make up on his Mercedes teammate.
Chelsea with a frenetic performance. There was a beautiful irony in Liverpool’s first goal. Liverpool had three players unmarked at the far post, yet Gary Cahill ran aimlessly to the only player who was being picked up. Admittedly he was being marked by David Luiz, but still. Liverpool’s captain, who has taken a few gentle digs in the ribs from this column in recent weeks, scored a belter. Trust me, if Pogba had scored a goal like that rather than Jordan Henderson, Sky would be
West Bromwich Albion were officially taken over by Chinese investors at the weekend. With their plans to make WBA attractive to the Chinese football fans, you could understand it if Pulis could be on his way out. But no, Tony has more tricks up his sleeve. WBA raced into a 4-0 lead, including two goals from the player he didn’t want, Nacer Chadli. West Ham tried to make a game of it, but it ended 4-2 to Pulis’s men. If West Ham don’t sort themselves out soon, they’ll have to start suggesting that it’s up to their landlords to sort out. They only rent, you know. The derby of the two managers that rate themselves a little bit higher than the rest of us do ended in a convincing win for Pardew and Palace. Mark Hughes is going to have to suffer the ultimate indignation. Having spent two seasons trying to turn Stoke into the complete opposite of what Pulis has built, he is going to have to watch as Pulis returns and takes Stoke back to exactly what it was before he left. Claude Puel has a lovely accent, and he now has three English Premier League points to go alongside it. Midweek hero Charlie Austin arose from the bench to score the winner against Swansea and take one big step closer to being the latter day Rickie Lambert.
The weekend’s football kicked off in London where Liverpool blew away
Councillor Fanny Serrano with representatives from the Marinas
also completed more step-overs than Burnley had shots on goal and contributed to Ben Mee’s OG.
something not done by any other club for a very long time. Bournemouth were on to a hiding to nothing as they were always going to commit footballing suicide by trying to pass the ball like City do. City strolled their way to their 4-0 win and, at this foolishly early stage for tipping Champions, look like they are everyone’s tip to be Champions. Yaya Toure could have even played, City were that comfortable, but the Ivorian has a nasty headache so decided not to make himself available. Bless. Leicester might struggle with playing twice a week, might they? Not a bit of it. The champions took Burnley apart 30 with Slimani looking like the identikit partner for Jamie Vardy and scoring twice on his first league start. Mahrez
Spurs recovered from their Champions League disappointment by beating Sunderland 1-0. Having played most of August without Harry Kane, it looks like Poch might have to make do without his match winner for quite a while as the England striker was stretchered off. He will be joined by Dembele and Dier on the treatment table, which will ask quite a few questions of Spurs over the next few weeks. The main question being, “are you any good without Dier and Kane?” By the next time we talk, will the managerial merry-go-round have got underway? Quite possibly.

GREAT COMEBACK FROM CD THADER CD Thader played their third match of the season on Saturday at home against a Benidorm side who have been widely tipped for promotion this season. The game was played on Saturday as a one off, and from now on all home games will be played on Sundays at 11:30. CD Thader started the game brightly, dominating the possession but struggled to break down the Benidorm defence. And in fact it was Benidorm who had the better chances ok the first half to open the scoring, looking very dangerous on the counter attack. Neither side were able to break the deadlock though and the game reached half time with the score 0-0. The second half started just as the first did, with CD Thader controlling the game. This time however they were able to create some very good chances. First, after some neat passing in midfield, Rubén Sanz was played in one on one with the keeper, but hit his shot straight at the chest of the keeper. Just minutes later, again CD Thader were through on goal, and just when José Manuel looked like scoring, one of the defenders made a last ditch tackle to clear the ball. These misses
proved costly, as Benidorm broke and scored straight after José Manuel's chance. From 1-0 up to 1-0 down in less than a minute. 5 minutes later it was 2-0, after a sloppy pass in midfield set up yet another counter attack for Benidorm, who again took advantage and scored their second of the game. However this didn't affect CD Thader, who kept battling on. With 8 minutes to go, Valentin made a chance for himself, and the striker made no mistake with his finish to pull one back for
the home side. Just as time looked to be running out for CD Thader, in the 92nd minute, a free kick was cleared to the edge of the box, straight to Dani Lucas who volleyed it first time and sent the players and fans alike into a frenzy. With this last minute equaliser, that puts CD Thader onto 4 points after 3 hard games. Next week CD Thader visit Redovan on Sunday at 11:30.
