his week the Costa Blanca People was contacted by a couple from La Marina who believe that their local water company is demanding money from them under false pretences – around 3,000 euros for water consumption they have never used. The pair want to warn people about what they claim is a ‘water scam’ and for those experiencing a similar situation to come forward. We cannot name the pair for legal reasons, so we will call them Mr and Mrs Smith. Early in July the couple headed home after a shopping trip to find two local police and two water company workers outside their house. One of the company

representatives accused the Smiths of tampering with their water meter and explained a new one had been fitted. In his pocket he had the ‘old’ meter which had a piece of wire protruding from it. The Smiths have lived in the same house for more than 12 years, and have paid every water bill in line with the officially billed consumption. With the exception of general seasonal fluctuations the consumption has varied very little over that time. The meter had been recently read by a water company worker and no wire or mention of a wire had been made. Neither had there been any communication from the company regarding increased usage or any concerns they had about unpaid consumption at the Smiths house. Mr Smith said: “No-one witnessed the old meter in place with the wire. There were no witnesses to the man opening the meter cabinet. We only have his word the wire was there. Also if we had been stealing hundreds of litres of water why hadn’t this been shown on our bills and us made to pay for it?” Three weeks later the Smiths received a

The lady on the desk took their names and then refused to speak to them, answer questions or look at their bills and paperwork. She simply handed over a bill for thousands of euros and pointed to one word in a Spanish-English dictionary; the word was ‘fraud’. The couple left and went straight to a solicitor. The bill claimed the Smith had stolen enough water to fill 14 swimming pools! Continued on page 3

Remembrance day in La Siesta On the 11th day of the 11th month at 11am once more the community was out in force to remember those who have died fighting for their country. Councillors Carmen Morate and Fanny Serrano attended the ceremony as representatives of the town hall. The event was held at La Siesta Evangelical Church and the councillors placed a poppy wreath at the foot of the monument that is used as a focus for remembrance on this day. The ceremony had been organised by veterans of the Royal British Legion. The Torrevieja branch of the Royal British

BITE SIZE NEWS: Grand Design House Although the Grand Design House at La Pedrera lake is now closed for the winter season until Spring 2017, there are still activities taking place there. You can view their Facebook page to find out more about their Christmas Craft week, Santa’s Christmas Children’s Trail and New Year’s Party. Activities will continue to run all year round as usual. This includes quad biking, horse and pony treks, air rifle, archery and kayaking. However, you must book these in advance and can no longer turn up at the house without prior booking. Details of how to book are available on their Facebook page.

CONTINUED The solicitor assured the couple that no action would be taken by the water company whilst the issue was under legal dispute, but in September their water supply was cut off. The couple were given no notice, there had been no further demands for money and the solicitor had been in touch with the water company to dispute its claims. The water was turned off at 1.20pm on a Thursday afternoon, the water offices close at 1.30pm, obviously giving no time for the couple to get there and make any kind of provision. So following a long afternoon and evening with no water, the Smiths were at the offices as they opened the next morning. They were handed a payment plan of eight monthly amounts plus a 60 euros reconnection fee and told in no uncertain terms that the water would not be reconnected until the first payment had been made there and then, and that it would be cut off again should any of the subsequent payments be missed.

No choice

On the 25th and 26th November it will be ‘Black Friday’. This is the day that has become known for the huge savings and sales offers that stores make. The shops in Torrevieja are keen to make sure they take a slice of the buying frenzy this year. The names of shops and businesses that are participating in this year’s event will be published on www.shoppingtorrevieja.com and on their Facebook page from the 23rd November. Any establishment that would like to take part can contact la Concejalía de Comercio on 965710250 ext. 154 or email comercio@torrevieja.eu.

Mr Smith said: “We have been blackmailed into paying for something we are legally disputing. This company has us over a barrel. We are still waiting for a formal reply to our solicitor’s enquiry; they haven’t even had the decency to respond in five months. We have spoken to the British Consulate and reported the malpractice. However, we have no choice but the pay for water we know we have not used and certainly haven’t stolen. “Since the new meter has been installed our water consumption has remained the same as this time each year, had we been stealing surely the consumption would have

1 plummeted. They have no evidence we have used more water than we have paid for except the alleged and un-witnessed finding of a wire in the meter. Their bills, the usage record and our payments completely contradict this claim.” The couple have heard that there are several other people in the surrounding areas that have experienced similar claims against them and are asking for people to get in touch with a view to starting a class action. Mr Smith said: “It’s very clever, because there doesn’t seem much point going to court and paying legal costs for just a few thousand euros, even when you know you are in the right. Therefore, most people simply pay up – especially when your water supply is stopped if you don’t. By working together and spreading the cost we can fight back.” Anyone who has experienced a similar situation should email: mireille@coastblancapeople.com and they will be put in touch with the Smiths.

Gang of thieves arrested A gang of 12 suspected thieves have been detained in Cartagena and Orihuela, the criminals were an armed gang who robbed petrol service stations and homes across the area. The Guardia Civil has uncovered some 20 crimes and has recovered 54,000 euros, two shotguns, 180 pieces of jewellery and watches during the operation. The Guardia Civil detained gang members in several parts of the Campo de Cartagena district and across the municipality of Orihuela. All 12 are presumed members of an armed and violent gang. So far, the detectives are sure of twenty crimes, including eleven for robberies with violence or intimidation. The booty was recovered during several house searches in Orihuela, La Unión and the hamlets of Playa Honda, La Aparecida and Portman. The Guardia Civil started this operation, codenamed ‘Squeeze’, a year ago after social alarm in the Campo de Cartagena following a succession of diverse thefts and violent assaults on homes. The officers were particularly concerned that this criminal organisation had developed great experience in carrying out their crimes efficiently and effectively and did not hesitate to use force or to threaten the victims with firearms. Before committing their crimes, those in custody had carried out surveillance of the targets, noting their security measures and who was coming and going.

They then would decide what tools they would need to enter the property and steal possessions. They usually wore balaclavas to cover their faces, and one of the gang would wait outside in a getaway car, ready for a speedy exit. When robbing service stations; a team of many as six people would be involved, while the home burglaries had lesser gang members and would begin with threats and physical violence. The armed robbers stole 60,000 euros in cash and 100,000 euros worth of jewellery in the Campo de Cartagena alone. The first arrests were an Ecuadorian man and his partner, who were caught when trying to flee in car. They were found to be carrying an explosive detonator, a television, 28,500 euros and a quantity of jewellery. Later the officers arrested the other gang members they had under investigation. These were another seven men of Spanish, Ecuadorian and Colombian nationalities and three Spanish and Ecuadorian women. The 12 in custody are accused of a total of 11 crimes of robbery with violence and intimidation; six of causing injury, illicit possession or arms, and belonging to a criminal organisation. Those arrested, the decommissioned firearms and recovered objects have all been put at the disposition of the Instruction Court 1 in Cartagena, which has already requested prison for five of those in custody.

Weather warnings... Seventeen provinces across the country are on snow alert, with plummeting temperatures forecast, accompanied by gusts of wind of up to 80kmph and harsh coastal weather fronts. In the province of Huesca in Aragón, 5cm of snow is expected above 1200m on the Pyrenees. High winds are also expected there and in Teruel and Zaragoza. In Catalonia, snow is forecast for the province of Lleida, in particular in the Valle de Arán, where snowfall up to 8cm is expected to fall. The provinces

of Barcelona, Tarragona and Girona are on alert for high winds and adverse coastal fronts. The provinces of Almería, Granada, Vizcaya, Guipúzcoa and in the regions of Cantabria, Asturias, the Balearic Islands, Comunidad Valenciana and the city of Melilla are also on amber alert for strong winds and coastal fronts. The warnings issued for Comunidad Valenciana includes the local area and residents are being advised to baton down lightweight structures such as gazebos and parasols.

Fishermen BITE SIZE Costa’s NEWS: Emergency congratulated Continued from page 5 sustainable tourism. Rather than just being a summer resort the town council want to see tourism spread more evenly across the year. A recent round table meeting took place on Tuesday 7th November to gather ideas about how to do this. Those present included councillors Fanny Serrano, Victor Ferrández, Carmen Morate, Domingo Pérez and the Mayor, José Manuel Dolón. The meeting lasted almost three hours and there were many ideas and suggestions to try and address the very seasonal nature of Torrevieja’s appeal. The main alternatives being discussed were the natural lakes, sport and food in the town. There was discussion around the possibility of being able to present a package holiday that would include leisure and other activities different from those normally on offer. It was acknowledged that it would be beneficial to improve the appearance of the town. Councillor Victor Ferrández was keen to establish opportunities within the plan to increase employment. It was again noted that Torrevieja lacks hotels and the mayor raised the issue of the problems with the N332 and the need to improve public transport.

Request for improved access to the hospital Torrevieja has put forward a bid for the CV-95 access road to Torrevieja hospital to be improved as a matter of urgency and that this might be included in the Valencian government’s plans for 2017. The project was already drafted as long ago as 2003 and would see the road doubled in size which would alleviate some of the difficulties experienced by those trying to reach the hospital, including emergency services and those using the road to access their properties. The bottle neck that often occurs here also has implications for traffic flow on the N332. The local government is also trying to secure money to double the Torrevieja stretch of this road. During the summer season and at certain times of the day this zone can become gridlocked.

How to protect the feline population On Thursday 18th November there will be a talk about how to protect colonies of cats at the Centro Socio Cultural, Calle Antonio Andres el Canario in Rojales. Councillor Carmen Morate will be speaking and it will include what the law is, responsibilities and some examples of practical cases. For those interested in this topic, there will be lots of material and useful information about legal matters with animals generally but especially in relation to street cats. You will find out which laws are there to protect them and what you need to be aware of if you have some living locally. If Continued on page 6

Centre Emergency Councillor Víctor Valverde has announced that more progress has been made on the project to build the Emergency Services Centre planned for Orihuela Costa. This follows several meetings held by the Councillor and the Mayor of Orihuela, Emilio Bascuñana with the director general of The Security and Emergency Response Agency, the Generalitat's Deputy Director General for Security and the President of the Generalitat, Aurora Valero. The Councillor said: “We have established a roadmap to be able to have this center as soon as possible. Hopefully all pending works will be completed 30th June, 2019.” “We are adapting the project to allow our modifications such as including a base for the SAMU in the centre, and space for the forest brigade of the Conselleria and a fire brigade. Other proposals are to accommodate Civil Guard, National Police and Local Police.” In addition, the councillor pointed out that the money destined to this project ‘is from Orihuela’ explaining that it was already assigned at the time of the initial proposal and so the government team claimed it as a continuing need when it came to power. After the adaptation of the project outline the next step is the tender of the works and the building management.

The Torrevieja Fisherman’s Guild were the 46th winner of the Diego Ramírez Pastor Prize on Friday 11th November. The prize is awarded to people or organisations who have made a significant contribution to the town. The winners were chosen from a dozen nominations in the Real Club Náutico in Torrevieja after the deliberations of a jury led by the Councillor for culture, Domingo Perez. What made the event particularly special was that the daughter of the founder of the prize, Gemma Mateo, was also present when the jury, which consists of previous winners, made their decision. The award itself will now be given out during a brotherhood dinner on December 7th. Pedro Carmona, the president of the Fisherman’s Guild, expressed his appreciation for the award but also drew attention to the state of the fish market in Torrevieja. He expressed the wish for a market fit for the 21st century and not something that came out of the stone age. The President also drew attention to the fact that fishermen not only bring value to the town through their catch but also through their own consumption. Whilst they are on the boat over the weekend each boat spends around 70 to 100 euros buying food to cook. Suzanne O’Connell

Proposal for the sports clubs Councillor for Sports, Victor Ferrández announced some new suggestions for sports provision in a press conference on 7th November. The councillor has been holding meetings with sports clubs, parent/ teacher associations and parents in order to keep them up-to-date with developments first hand. Difficulties have arisen because of the type of contracts that the sports coaches are on. The contracts should be used for temporary services only however, the coaching positions are permanent. It has meant that appointments were made without going through the proper procedures and without the jobs being applied and competed for. According to Councillor Ferrández, there will be two stages to the regularisation of the roles. Part of the difficulty had been that any changes would have meant the parents were required to pay significantly more for the provision they currently used provided

by the town hall. Many parents were very unhappy at this prospect, especially given that some had already paid the joining up fee of €60 which would have allowed them to use the service throughout the year. The proposals now are that the sports coaching service will be sponsored until the end of the year by Agamed so that the service can operate legally at no extra cost to parents. However, in 2017 the subsidies available to help children access sports clubs will be increased to address the difference between the cost of provision and the amount currently paid by parents. Councillor Ferrández intends that ultimately there will be 40 position for sports coaches in the town of which the majority will be part-time for nine months of the year. This will coincide with the school year and will provide coaches with20 hours work a week. Suzanne O’Connell

Spanish rich list Changes to HELP Vega Baja Spain’s richest 100 people are worth almost 20 per cent of country’s GDP, according to the latest figures. Zara owner Amancio Ortega is worth 71 billion euros alone, with Spain’s 100 richest amassing a total worth of almost 200 billion euros. The 100 richest people in Spain are worth the equivalent of 18 per cent of the country’s GDP.

This stinkingly rich group has amassed a fortune worth a combined €198 billion – which is an increase of 4.8 per cent from last year. Leaders of textiles and food giants lead the way, with Zara’s Amancio Ortega and Mercadona’s Juan Roig taking first and second place respectively. Roig is worth €8 billion while Ortega’s €71 billion fortune is worth more than the next 23 on the list combined. His Inditex fashion house is home to brands including Massimo Dutti, Zara and Pull & Bear, while his property portfolio features hotels and skyscrapers from Madrid to Miami. Third on the list is Rafael del Pino, owner of construction giant Ferrovial, who is worth €7.65 billion. Daughter to Ortega, Sandra Ortega, takes fourth with €7.6 billion, while Mango CEO Isak Andic closes out the top five with a net worth of €4.2 billion.

It’s been a busy year for HELP Vega Baja and they have recently announced more changes to come. Following their October meeting it was decided by their committee to close the Torrevieja office temporarily for a period of restructure. The office on Rambla Juan Mateo García will be closed from the 1st January 2017 for a period of three months. The office in San Miguel and the HELP desk in La Marina will not be affected. The Torrevieja office will remain available during the three months for members to meet the solicitor, Jordi Sole or welfare officer, Wendy Burton, by appointment. ‘It is of course very sad that this decision had to be taken,’ says President of HELP, Michele Masson. ‘But we would like to reassure everyone that HELP Vega Baja is committed to remaining in the town and supporting those people who need us in the future.’ Behind the change is recognition that many people now prefer to get their information through the internet

rather than face-to-face. ‘As a charity we therefore must ensure,’ adds Michele, ‘that we keep up with this technology whilst at the same time being mindful that there will still be some people who wish to speak with us on a one to one basis.’ During the period of closure it is planned that the Torrevieja office will be updated to include systems of working and documentation. ‘We are grateful for the support we have received from volunteers and other charities such as the AECC Orihuela Costa who have agreed that one of our HELP volunteers can be based in their office. Also the Torrevieja OARI office, has expressed a keen interest in working with us when we re-open.’ HELP Vega Baja has been in operation for 35 years and Michelle is confident that the changes will lead to an even stronger organisation than before. In the meantime if you have an enquiry please contact the San Miguel

centre on 966 723 733 or by email office@helpvegabaja.com. If you wish to take out or renew your membership during this period of closure you can do this online at www.helpvegabaja.com by printing off and scanning through your membership form and paying via the bank. Assistance is also available to help with membership at: • HELP Vega Baja San Miguel Centre, Avenida Lope de Vega 46, San Miguel (Monday to Friday 10 am to 1.30 pm) 966 723 733 • La Marina HELP Desk – 8Thursday 10am to 1.30pm) 615 770 145 • AECC Orihuela Costa, Flamenca Beach CC (Thursday 10am to 1pm) • Either of the HELP Friendship Centres More information can also be found on the HELP Vega Baja Facebook page.

Raising awareness of domestic violence with children A video has been prepared by the Town Hall’s welfare department to help raise awareness amongst year 6 pupils of domestic violence. The campaign has begun in the school CEIP Habaneras and will role out across other schools in the area in the weeks to come. It is hoped that the campaign will raise awareness of the importance of respect, equality and tolerance. The violence doesn’t necessarily have to be physical and it tackles emotional abuse, harassment and other controlling behaviours. The campaign emphasises the importance of equality between men and women and the negative impact that stereotypes and discrimination can have. It aims to also involve boys and men in tackling the problem. The campaign includes a video in which children talk about gender violence and their experiences. Students are then encouraged to reflect on what they have seen and heard.

The tapas route is back! The 14th tapas route in Torrevieja will take place from the 17th to 20th November and from the 24th to 27th November. It is anticipated that 46 establishments will take part offering in total 184 tapas in the course of the two weeks. As usual, the tapas are available from Thursday to Sunday at 12.00pm until 4.30pm and then again from 7.30pm until 11.00pm. The price is €2 for a standard tapa with a drink or €2.50 for gourmet tapa with a drink. There will be a prize draw and you can download the free app onto your mobile and vote for your favourite tapas. To find out more information visit www.rutadelatapatorrevieja.com Suzanne O’Connell

Proposals for the self-employed Arrangements for the self-employed in Spain are consistently criticised. In order to be officially registered as self-employed you must pay a set amount of money to social services irrespective of what your level of earning is. The set monthly figure has been around €250 and only recently has there been any attempt to modify this for new entrants to the scheme. Now, Ciudadanos (centre right party)has put forwardnew autonomo (self-employed) legislation to urgently address the difficulties that this causes. The Bill has been presented by Ciudadanos and has the support of the PP although ironically it was the brainchild of PSOE (centre left). A one-month deadline has been set for thelegislation which is expected to have implications for around three and a half million workers. The standard charge to social services acts as a disincentive for people to register. Many autonomos start out earning very modestly and cannot afford to sign up to a system that could constantly lead to them defaulting. The social services payment goes towards the registered person’s pension and enables them to have health care. However, it is believed that it should be proportional to the amount that a selfemployed person earns rather than a standard amount whatever the size of business. It also lacks many of the safeguards that other workers take for granted such as maternity, unemployment and sickness pay. The proposed reform includes: • Increase the reduction for new autonomos with a payment of only €50 a month for the first year instead of for six months

• Allow four changes a year in the amount of contribution that a selfemployed person has to make • Introduce the application of maternity rights to the self-employed • Allow for part-time self-employment • Strengthen social protection for the self-employed

regulations as an opener is a good move. Few would argue that the system as it stands works well and there is a general agreement that reform is needed. UPTA, the self-employed workers union, support the bill which they believe will be ‘good news for more than three million selfemployed.’

• Improve the process of claiming expenses This collaboration of Rajoy’s PP with Rivera’s Ciudadanos will be one of the first cooperative actions of the new government. There has been speculation as to how effectively Rajoy will be able to implement legislative change given that the PP do not have an overall majority. Choosing the self-employment

Ciudadanos and the PP will back the introduction of this new law with 169 seats in favour. However, they will still need the support of members of opposition parties in order for it to be passed. This will be a tester for the new government and its ability to function. However the prospects for this Bill being passed are good. Suzanne O’Connell

National paedophile ring arrests Officers from the National Police have arrested 56 paedophiles for distributing, via the Internet, images of extremely serious sexual abuse of young children and babies. According to the police, all those arrested are male, the majority between the ages of 40 and 60. Some had been arrested before for identical crimes. The arrested are accused of sharing child pornographic material via the ‘Peer-to-Peer’ network, one of the most commonly used networks for this kind of content. Officers have confiscated a number of computers, more than 173 hard drives and 614 CDs and DVDs which the suspects used to store several gigabytes of photos (one gigabyte can store in the region of 10,000 photos of average quality) as well as pornographic videos involving young girls and boys. The investigation, which has taken more than a year-and-a-half to complete, has resulted in one of the year's most important operations in the fight against the distribution of pornographic material by paedophiles, not only

with regard to the number of arrest made, but also in terms of the volume of material seized. Over 150 officers and 46 different tribunals across the country have been involved in the case, with a total of 59 properties being searched by police. As well as the 56 detainees, three other men were investigated and then subsequently released. The arrests were made in the following locations: Madrid (11), Barcelona (8), Baleares (4), Valencia (3), Zaragoza (3), Alicante (3), La Rioja (2), Santander (2), Almería (1), Burgos (1), Murcia (1), Teruel (1), A Coruña (1), Pontevedra (1), Lleida (1), Girona (1), Guipúzcoa (1), Tenerife (1), Cádiz (1), Tarragona (1), Vizcaya (1), León (1), Valladolid (1), Huelva (1), Toledo (1), Sevilla,(1), Málaga (1) y Ciudad Real (1). Investigators are now carrying out an exhaustive examination of the confiscated material to determine whether any of the detainees are also guilty of sexual abuse of minors as well as distribution of pornographic material involving under age children.

Improving links to the airport The route to El Altet airport in Alicante continues to be one of those most travelled by many people living in Torrevieja. The mayor, José Manuel Dolón, is well aware of the significance of the airport in the fortunes of the town and the importance of having efficient road and rail links to it. As such, he has recently requested from the Valencian government that the connections between Torrevieja and the airport be improved. This is not the first time that the

request has been made and there is an element of frustration that nothing has been done to date. The urgency of better communications has increased due to the expansion of the airport and the increase in the number of passengers using it. The mayor is hoping that all the different political parties in Torrevieja will rally around this request and try to ensure that something is done about it. Suzanne O’Connell

Spaniards are Three weeks and counting behind Tesco Bank fraud The hunt has begun for the Spanish fraudsters who stole millions from Tesco Bank customers in biggest ever raid on a British bank. An international criminal gang has stolen millions of pounds in an unprecedented cyber-attack on Tesco Bank. Spanish and Brazilian fraudsters hit more than 25 percent of the UK bank’s current account holders in the attack. They gained access to 40,000 of the bank’s 136,000 current accounts and stole money from 20,000 of them. Customers found that their accounts had lost anything between €30 and €3,300. Tesco was forced to freeze all online transactions after what was the biggest ever raid on a British bank. A police investigation has revealed that Tesco Bank had been repeatedly warned about its lacklustre security systems and that fraud rings in Brazil have been targeting the chain for months. The level and sophistication of the attack has led experts to fear a criminal network or even a foreign government may be responsible. The National Crime Agency, Financial Conduct Authority and Information Commissioner’s Office are investigating the attack. The bank apologised to its customers after they accused it of treating them with ‘complete contempt’ and making ‘pathetic’ offers of €30 compensation. CEO of Tesco Bank Benny Higgins said: “We can reassure customers that any financial loss as a result of this activity will be resolved fully by Tesco Bank.”

In three weeks time Studio 32 will be presenting their production of ‘A Christmas Carol’. The theatre group are now in the final stages of rehearsal of this Broadway musical version of Dickens’classic. It contains a mixture of

song and dance and reflects the company’s intention to focus entirely on full-scale musical theatre. The role of Scrooge is played by actor Bill Nicholson. Bill moved to Spain in 2000 and previously had taken principal roles in around 150 plays and musicals in the North West of England. His own, personal favourites have included ‘Chicago’, ‘La Cage Aux Folles’, ‘Guys and Dolls’, ‘Sweeney Todd’, ‘A Chorus Line’ and more recently ‘Fiddler on the Roof’. A performance such as this requires plenty of backstage help too. Studio 32 would like to hear from anyone interested in theatre and theatrical costumes who might be prepared to be their wardrobe supervisor. If this is a position that you would consider then you can contact the group through their website: www.studiothirtytwo.org. The website also includes a list of past and present productions, the theatre seating plan and reserved ticket status. Show dates are Wednesday November 30th to Saturday December 3rd at the Cardenal Belluga Theatre in San Fulgencio. All performances start at 7.30pm with doors open at 7pm. Reserved seating tickets are now on sale, priced at 9 euros, and Studio32 will be supporting the Alzheimer’s Association once again. Call 642 080 258 or email tickets@studiothirtytwo.org.

Spanish One week to enjoy in space the Grand Design Christmas House A Spanish technology firm has announced its plans to send tourists to space within the next two years. Zero2Infinity has said it will use the same technology used in helium weather balloons to float its clients to the edge of space.

The trip will set you back €110,000, but CEO Jose Mariano Lopez-Urdiales thinks there is a big market for space tourism. “We are solving the problem with space access in a totally different way. We’re getting outside of the atmosphere using cheap, clean, high-altitude balloons — a technology that is well-understood and mature,” he said. “Some people want to provide connectivity so we will launch their satellites. Whereas some people want to get married up there, so we will send them on a ride and the captain of the ship will marry them.” The Barcelona-based company, founded seven years ago, has already performed more than 30 test flights. Lopez-Urdiales has said he will most likely launch the flights from Dubai, where there will probably be more people willing to splash a small fortune for the flight. The journey will take passengers 40km into the air inside futuristic pods, offering unparalleled views of the curvature of the Earth.

Each year the Grand Design House opens, beautifully decorated, for Christmas however this year, it is open for just one week from Monday to Sunday after which it is closing down for the winter season. Entrance to the house is just a euro the proceeds of which go to the Elche Children's Home and includes a free raffle ticket for a luxury Christmas Hamper which will be drawn at the end of the week. The Craft Shop will therefore also be closing down and as such there is a fantastic sale of between half price and 10 - 20% off all marked prices. So it is a great opportunity to sit inside the house with a cup of tea or coffee, get a free entry into the raffle and bag a quality gift at a

bargain price for gifts for friends and Secret Santas! There will also be daily Christmas inspired demonstrations so there will be something for everyone. Finally although the House itself will no longer be available for day visitors until the Spring, it will be open for activities as per usual provided they are booked in advance. The final events of the year include the popular Santa's Trail this time with a 'Grinch' theme and a New Year's party with Fireworks.

Spanish scientists make stroke breakthrough Researchers in Spain have discovered two different types of brain chemical which determine whether or not stroke patients are likely to recover well from their ordeal. The protein p53-Prolina, when present, means patients who suffer a haemorrhagic stroke – where a blood vessel breaks in the brain, as opposed to a cerebral infarction where the blood flow to the brain stops – have a better prognosis of functional recovery, since this chemical has a greater ability to repair vascular damage. By contrast, the protein p53-Arginina is associated with a very poor outlook, and speeds up death of neurons following a stroke. This discovery was made by the Molecular Neurobiology Group, part of the Salamanca Institute of Biomedical Research (IBSAL), through ‘in vitro’ studies on animals which carry a variation of the gene very close to that seen in humans, and which is thought to be possible to extrapolate to human patients. Scientists studied a known polymorphism in the human Tp53 gene, a one-off mutation of the DNA found in a high proportion of the population, and found differing levels of the two types of p53 protein within it. Dr Ángeles Almeida, leading the investigation team, says a haemorrhagic stroke is the type which carries the highest mortality rate – some 50 percent of patients do not survive beyond a month after suffering one, and those who do live for any length of time afterwards face a very high risk of permanent damage as a result. A haemorrhagic stroke survivor is very likely to suffer some degree of disability or another due to the damage caused to the brain – in fact, 20 percent of those who live to tell the tale are entirely dependent upon carers within six months. At present, says Dr Almeida, there is no specific

medical treatment available, and the few techniques used are only effective for a small percentage of survivors, at huge cost to the health service. And the prognosis for survivors of this type of intra-cerebral haemorrhage is ‘somewhat unpredictable’, she explains, since two people with identical damage to the brain as a result may evolve very differently to each other.

In conclusion, says Dr Almeida – whose team's findings have been published in the magazine ‘Cell death and differentiation’ in the section entitles ‘Nature’ – recovery in patients of this type of stroke is ‘determined by their genotype’. At worst, the findings might allow doctors to predict the likely outcome for survivors, and in the future it could lead the way for targeted drug treatment for those with higher levels of p53-Arginina and lower levels of p53-Prolina.

INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL MATTERS US ELECTION – Where do we go from here? n Wednesday we all woke up to the news that Donald Trump will be the 45th US President, for those that had believed what the Newspapers, most TV channels and the Polls were saying this was a shock, for those who had looked deeper it wasn´t such a shock.

The question is now will it trigger another recession? What is certain, and this was the case even before the UK Brexit vote is we are in a period of unprecedented political risk. There is a surge in anti‐establishment sentiment. In the US now the Republicans also have control of congress and a majority in both the House of Representatives and the Senate, which is potentially a good thing as it can remove the US political gridlock that has been there throughout the Obama administration. In the US the likelihood of a US rate rise in December or early next year is now falling, the Dollar is weakening and the knee jerk market sell oﬀ is likely to be short lived as there is a considerable amount of money out there waiting to “buy the dip”.

The sectors that should do well are consumer and infrastructure. All the above should be making the EU leaders quake in their boots, as the EU has more than enough problems of its own, we have the Italian Constitutional Referendum on 4th December which is the 1st hurdle, then elections in France, Germany and Holland next year.

WEEKLY EURO UPDATE If politics was the main driver for currencies at the end of last week, then it most certainly was again throughout the past five days. Wherever you were this week everyone had one eye on the US presidential election. It was an all but a steady introduction to the week for Europe; Germany reported a -0.6% monthly fall in factory orders while, for Euroland as a whole, retail sales were down by -0.2% and investor confidence improved by four and a half points to 13.1. Swiss inflation was steady at -0.2% and the Swiss National Bank's foreign currency reserves increased from SFr628bn to SFr630bn: they go up every month as a result of the SNB's interventions to sell the franc. On Wednesday morning soundwaves of the US Presidential election result rippled around the world. It would be fair to say the initial reaction to the Trump presidency was that of disbelief, which included selling equities, selling commodity-related and emerging-market currencies and buying sandbags. Nobody knows quite what a Trump presidency will mean for the global economy, let alone for currency and capital markets, but many fear it will have negative implications, just as they did following the Brexit vote. Although sterling was left behind in the initial post-election turmoil it regained its poise later on the Wednesday. Over the two days surrounding the vote sterling was,

against the odds, the leader among the major currencies with an average gain of 0.8%. It is also the top performer over the last seven days. It is not clear how the pound came to achieve this feat. One suggestion is that Donald Trump's unexpected win has overshadowed the Brexit risk. Another is that antiestablishment votes in Britain and the States might be mirrored in Euroland when the electorates in Italy, France and Germany have their say in coming months. On the whole it was an average week for the euro in that, on average, it was unchanged against the other dozen most actively-traded currencies. Otherwise it was a far from average week. Donald Trump's unexpected victory in the US presidential election set financial markets alight; first with a rush to offload risk then with a stampede in the other direction as it dawned on investors that Mr Trump's promised infrastructure investments and tax cuts could be good for corporate America. The euro was hurt by the realisation that anti-establishment votes in Britain and the States could be mirrored in Italy, France and even Germany in coming months. The pound was helped by the realisation that Brexit is no longer the year's biggest black swan. Sterling was the major-currency winner for a second week, adding nearly three and a half euro cents. The euro lost one and three quarter US cents.

Perennials are plants that live for more than two years, which is great, as they provide you with vegetables/fruit year upon year â&#x20AC;&#x201C; as long as they are tidied up a bit and not left abandoned. However, some of them can live for only a few years and others for a long time. therefore the tree will produce hardly any fruit at all if any. The fruit has one central stone to it with the seed inside this, for replanting, if you want to start from scratch! It would possibly be better to plant it in September, before the autumn, so that it has long enough to take root before the winter comes along. They neither like the extreme cold nor heat, so donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t put it in an area all on itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own, have other things growing around it to protect it.

The Apricot - (Prunus armeniaca) named because it is believed that they originated in Armenia. They have also been grown in Iran for many centuries and dried, which is a favourite way of eating them for the locals. The Apricot tree generally is small and only grows to a height of around 39 feet tall (maximum) and the trunk is about 16 inches in diameter. You can have many or just the one as they do not need other trees for pollination - they can do it themselves! When you plant your tree make sure you cover over the base and roots with soil, patting it down as you go along, as with most other plants/trees. They bloom earlier than most other fruits, so if there is an early frost, be careful of them, plant on a higher part of soil in your garden if at all possible. If your apricot tree gets frost on it and there are flowers, it will kill these off and

If you want to have large fruit on your tree you need to pick them as they grow to keep them apart from one another about two inches apart should do the trick. A beautiful plant that should be showing off at the moment is from the

Asteraceae family and is known as the Rhodanthemum catananche. Its flowers have peach coloured petals with silvery leaves and are blooming right now and will go through to the summer too. I have seen them on the side of the roads and they are glorious. They are quite hardy as originated from the Atlas mountain range of Morocco and Algeria, so can withstand our winter season as well as the summer. It normally blooms in early May but of course this depends on the weather and it can either come a few weeks earlier or later. Marc Vijverberg

Visit to NOVELDA with Vivalia Travel Novelda, located in the middle basin of the Vinalopó River, has been an area of transit and a natural way of communication between the Spanish midland plains, the southeast and the Mediterranean coastline since pre-historic times.

ovelda is a city in the south of the Community of Valencia. It is located in the region called Valle Medio del Vinalopó, on the right-hand bank of the Vinalopó River, at over a height of 241 m above the sea level. It is 17 km away from El Altet international airport and 28 km from Alicante city. It is 165 km far from the capital city of the Autonomous Community, Valencia. Novelda, located in the middle basin of the Vinalopó River, has been an area of transit and a natural way of communication between the Spanish midland plains, the southeast and the Mediterranean coastline since prehistoric times. This, together with its wealth of agricultural and stock farming resources, has been a determining factor in human settlement and the convergence and development of different cultures throughout different historical periods. Going back to the pre-historic age, the earliest known human settlement in Novelda occurred during the Neolithic Age. The district of Novelda features a number of caves where archaeological remains have been found. These include the Cueva de los Misterios and the Cueva del Mediodía, in La Mola, where a number of burial sites were found where the dead were buried with the tools they used in life and which later formed their funeral belongings. There were no fortified towns in the higher reaches of the Novelda district, but an Iberian population has been detected on the plain, more specifically in the area of the Campet, formed by the terraces of Vinalopó River that spread left and right between the districts of Monforte, Novelda and Aspe. In the wake of the Roman conquest of the Iberian peninsula and subsequent

reorganisation of the land ordered by Augustus, these farms became country towns, as the land began to be better used for agricultural and fishing purposes. Also fundamental in its development was the fact it was close to communication paths, with Novelda district under the direct influence of the Via Augusta, one of the branches of which, as show in Roman sources, passed through the Vinalopó valleys. The population began to decline in the late Roman period and was located on medium-sized hills that provided a good overview of the land. This was also the time of the settlement found in Zambo, where clear sealed soil ceramics, amphorae and coins put the site at between the mid-4th and late-6th centuries A.D. In the second-quarter of the 14th century, battles again broke out between the

Christian kingdoms of Castile and Aragon over sovereignty of these lands during the War of the Two Pedros (1356-1366). In 1363, the troops of Pedro I of Castile conquered the lands, which converted to the Crown following the death of the Infante Don Fernando; however, they were taken again by the Aragonese troops. Following these advances, Pedro IV, Pedro the

Ceremonious, gave La Mola Castle to Bertran du Glesqui in 1366. A year later it passed to Sir Hugo de Calviley, while Novelda was given to Mateo de Gournay, both having come to the Iberian peninsula at the head of the White Companies. The town of Novelda increased its population of old Christians over the Moorish majority, who were forced to be baptised from 1565 on. Finally expulsed in 1609, the town was left practically depleted when more than 300 families left. The 17th century saw a number of epidemics, droughts and poor harvests, and at the end of the century there was a recovery of the population, which grew more than 200% following consolidated improvements in agriculture and stockfarming, the economic bases of the population. The people not only worked the land and raised livestock activity, they also began to develop an important crafts and industry work. More than 2,000 women and girls from a population of 7,587, according to the geographer Cabanilles. With the abolition of the feudal estates in 1837 and subsequent sale of Church lands, a growing farming and trade-based bourgeoisie began to form, which led to a population of around 8,000 inhabitants by 1879. This meant that a bourgeois trade developed which, along with its Catalan counterpart of the beginning of the 20th century, would bring to the people of Novelda the architectural and ornamental styles known as Modernism. A significant number of houses were built in this style in the middle of the city, which had experienced notable growth since the mid-18th century. At the end of the 19th century and beginning of the 20th were built the Casino, in town, and Saint Mary Magdalene’s Sanctuary, at La Mola plain, finished in the 1940’s.

‘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

Don’t call me Fatso Bobbie Begley and myself found ourselves in a bit of ‘turbulence, a few years ago, for saying that kids were getting fat, because they were not playing sport or engaging in sufficient exercise. The story was carried on the front page of The Westmeath Examiner and not all of the mammies and daddies liked it. We were interviewed together on local radio, the following week and Bobby kicked for touch by claiming “he was no expert”. At that time I was the owner of Mullingar Squash and Fitness Centre. Although I was no more of an “expert” than Bobby, then, as now, that did not protect the unfortunate people from my opinion. In this instance I was proved correct – as was also Begley – before he kicked. Since then the situation has become worse, due to the marked increase in the consumption of fast food. This is not the children’s fault – this is the parents fault. Fat parents will often have fat children and they will blame it on ‘genetic’. There may be a grain of truth in this, but more likely, it is the eating habits which are genetic. Are you fat? Half the population of Ireland is overweight. If you are one of these; chances are you will hate me for asking the question. Don’t shoot the messenger! Now you can dismiss this as a shite column, or you can read on and perhaps learn how to redress this state. Every second person is overweight; fact. One

in eight of us is obese; fact. These are Dept. of Health figures. Obesity is one of the fastest growing health problems in Ireland. There has been a 30% increase in obesity here over the last four years. Being fat is not something we ‘catch’, like the measles – it is preventable. Back, for a moment, to the unfortunate children; one in every

five

overweight and one in twenty is obese. What a cross to give our children to carry? You can see it for yourselves – but, again, don’t blame the kids. Now, how about yourself? Have you looked in the mirror lately? Every year that you spend being overweight will shorten your lifespan. It can lead to diabetes, heart-attack, stroke, high blood pressure and certain types of cancer. You

constantly feel more tired for being fat. Ireland now has the third highest prevalence of overweight people in the E.U. A conservative figure is that obesity kills 2,500 people a year here. We might only be third in Europe, at the moment, but I guarantee you we will give the two in front a run for their money! Being fat makes us feel and look ugly and unattractive, but it is also a killer. Let’s call a spade a spade! The bottom line (no pun intended) is that it is Ireland’s fastest growing epidemic. Ireland is following America in the Fat League. 65% of Americans are over-weight and 31% suffer from obesity. Twelve years ago, the figure for obesity was 23% so, you see that even with all the educational and healthy eating promotions, it is getting worse same thing here. The current proportion of children in America who are overweight has tripled since 1980 and 78% of the

population are not meeting basic activity recommendations. Are you still near that mirror? You can say either of three things; (a) “What a body – no way does this apply to me”. (b) “This is a shite column”. (c) “What can I do to lose this fat?” If you are category ‘c’ and still with me – fair play to you! This could be the start of the new you – although, like Bobby, I am no expert! FACT: If you eat less and exercise more, you will shed those pounds. It’s as simple as that! Just remember, “Everything counts”. I heard on the radio last week, that if a person eat one slice of white bread less per day, he or she would lose a stone weight in a year. If you eat four biscuits a day, cutting back to three, will make a difference. Why not write down what you eat? This would be a great way for keeping score and give extra satisfaction when reduction in intake achieved. Above all, keep away from the fridge coming up to bedtime. I am not going to try telling you the correct foods to eat, as everybody knows them and just do the best you can. Forget the quick-fix fad diets. 95% of weight lost through fad diets is put back on. The most important thing is to think fit and especially that “everything counts”. Walking is the greatest single exercise you can do to lose weight. It is enjoyable, easy on the joints,

outdoors and good for the brain as well. Don’t ‘doddle’, stride, but remember not to overstride either. Change in small ways: stop trying to take the car to the shop door, use stairs instead of lifts and escalators, “Everything Counts!” Go for a walk every day, or at least four days a week and build up gradually to a four mile walk – if you are not already used to walking. You will come to love the walk and remember you will not persist with any exercise, unless you enjoy it. Be satisfied with a couple of pounds weight loss per week. The slower you lose it, the more likely it is to stay off. By all means go to the gym, or play squash or tennis if you want, but either way, you will lose weight if you walk a little more and eat a little less. Oh; and by the way; I called you “FAT”, instead of “plump”, or “overweight” – just to get you going…” everything counts!” Good luck!!

Most of our faults can be hidden, except over-eating.

QUESTIONS AROUND SPIRITS, HAUNTINGS & RESCUE WORK There are so many questions I get asked about the work I do, so I thought I would share some with the Costa Blanca People's lovely readers. IS THE SUPERNATURAL WORLD ALWAYS AROUND US? The way I explain this question is that there is a veil (I feel it as energy) between our two worlds that separate this material world that we live in here on earth, and what I call the Afterlife. When we ask for help and have strong faith, we can sometimes get a glimpse of what lies behind the veil. As a Medium, I can 'tap into' this energy, and converse with the spirit world. The veil between their world and ours is much nearer than many people think or believe. WHAT ARE TYPICAL SIGNS THAT A HOME IS BEING HAUNTED? This is a question I get asked a lot, and as a Rescue Medium there are certain signs that alert me more than others. For example, Cold Spots in a home could just be the fact that some rooms are colder than others especially if some rooms are bigger and with less furniture in etc. However, as I walk around the property if there are clues I pick up of unexplained activity then I have to investigate further. Some signs are: ‐ • Feeling as if being touched by unseen hands • Poltergeist activity • Personality changes

• Feeling as if someone has walked past you or even worse, through you. • Tangible items being moved when you know it's not any members of the home that have moved them • Unexplained noises ‐ Footsteps, Items being dropped, bangs, doors rattling as if someone is trying to get in, but there is no one there. • Feeling as if someone is standing behind you but there is no‐one there • Feelings of being watched • Pets who seem spooked or stare at a particular area in the home • Feeling of shivers down the spine and/or the hairs on the back of your neck standing up • Hearing whispers, people talking, mumbling. • Constant nightmares, especially if these are the same ones over and over • Seeing spirit ‐ sometimes as if through the corner of your eye • Seeing unexplained shadows (often called shadow people) CAN/SHOULD YOU REACH OUT TO A SPIRIT? You can receive messages from a loved one in spirit through a reputable Medium as this is a safe environment in which to do so. I wouldn't recommend that anyone tries to contact spirit themselves through occult means such as a Ouija board. Some of the scariest Spirit Rescues I have taken part in, in Canada, the UK and here

in Spain are the result of people trying to contact spirit through a talking board and misusing it. People think they are talking to a loved one when in fact they are talking to something much more sinister as they can trick them into thinking its someone they know. Ouija boards are extremely dangerous unless you know how to use them properly. Misuse of a talking board can create a Portal through which lower entities will enter the home very often causing havoc. However, I know many people who have lost a loved one and take much comfort in talking to them. Many say they feel them around them, especially when they are upset. When I pick up on this through a reading as their loved one comes forward, it brings them much comfort in knowing their loved one can hear them. In this context, their love lives on in the spirit world. This is because pure love transcends all boundaries. WHEN TO BE CONCERNED, WHO TO CALL, ETC This is an excellent question, as people sometimes don't realise what they are dealing with. For example, a few months ago a lovely lady came for a reading. I asked her what was going on in the restaurant which was owned by other family members. She also worked at the restaurant on certain days as a waitress. I knew, from what I was told by spirit in the reading that things had gone missing and there was something very odd going on. She laughed and

said oh yes, things are being moved, and some things seem to 'jump off the shelves in the kitchen' but we just say 'Oh up to your tricks again Mum/Granny. I looked at her and said "That is not your Mum. She is here telling me about it ‐ she went to the light, is not stuck so cannot possibly move or throw things". On further prompting, it turned out much, much more sinister than that ‐ the worst thing being witnessed by the owner and another waitress. They heard a creaking by the wall, and watched as a large picture started rocking back and forth; it then lifted itself off the hook and crashed down onto a vase of flowers that the owner had received from someone for her birthday. NOT, SOMETHING ONE OF OUR LOVED ONES WOULD DO! A few days later, myself and my small rescue team communicated with two spirit entities ‐ a young girl and a nasty male. After hours of work during which I was overshadowed by both, we were eventually able to send them to the light. Straight away, we could feel the heavy negative energy lifting, as it was replaced with lighter, positive energy. Peace was restored once again. Just another day at the office!

Don’t Leave Clues About Your Motivation To Sell Rebecca Serwotka – Your favourite local property expert, of Inmobiliaria Real Estate Agents in Ciudad Quesada. Rebecca Serwotka – Your favourite local property expert, of Inmobiliaria Real Estate Agents in Ciudad Quesada & published author of “Moving Forward – 25 Essential Rules For Buying & Selling Real Estate Without Going Crazy.” Request your FREE copy today! This week, I want to share with you an excerpt from our newly published E-Book… No one wants to be reminded of messy life situations and it certainly won’t help your selling position if you’re the seller of a home. Make sure you keep all emotional garbage out of sight. Keep papers, boxes, arguments, distress, medications and anything else that says “I’m desperate to sell” well hidden. Keep the environment in your home neutral. Think romance – lighting that’s inviting, ambience that’s soothing, music that will usher them calmly from room to room, and fragrances that are fresh and not overpowering. You want them to stay and enjoy your environment. Think it doesn’t matter? It does! Always know that when you are selling your home and buyers are looking around to see if this house suits them, they will stumble across giveaway clues unless you stage your home correctly. As your trusted advisor, I never share with potential buyers your motivation of why you are selling and where you are going. Unless you specifically ask your agent to share confidential information, by law and ethically these details are not to be shared. Even sharing that a baby’s on the way, and more space

is needed, could lead them to believe they have the upper hand in negotiations, because they think you’re on a deadline to move before the baby arrives, and may lower your price. In all my years of real estate sales, one thing is certain: buyers are detectives. They notice everything and usually download these visuals and bring them up for discussion when deciding what price to offer on your home. Conversely, if you have failed to de-clutter and your home has an overabundance of decoration and furnishings, they will believe a quick closing would be nearly impossible and pass on your house because they think you simply cannot move all your belongings in a timely manner. A seasoned real estate professional has seen it all, and can think in advance and help you prepare for a timely sale. Be aware of what your home is saying when you are not home, and you will be glad you listened to this sage advice. Be aware of your daily environment. It isn’t important for them to know how the people who lived there live. Seeing many portraits and personal items could very well cause emotions of envy, jealousy, or entitlement, which could lead them away from choosing your home and cause them to believe you don’t deserve top Euro. For more information and guidance on buying and selling, please contact us and we will send you our FREE e-book or log on to: www.homes4u.es/new-kindle-e-book to request the link. Think property?

Longer summers boosting tourism and property market in the Costa Blanca As Spain reports both record tourism numbers and positive movement in the property market, the impact of the longer summers experienced as a result of climate change on the country's real estate is not to be underestimated, Spanish property expert Chris White has revealed. As Founding Director of leading estate agency Ideal Homes International, White has closely monitored the Spanish property market for a number of years. Over that time, he has seen the high season in the Costa Blanca gradually extended until later and later into the year. He comments, "One of the key reasons that British buyers love Spain is the wonderful weather. Being able to pack your flip-flops and escape the UK climate after such a short flight makes Spain perfect as a holiday home destination for those who live in the UK. "It's a particularly appealing destination at this time of year, as the weather gets colder back in Blighty and the nights draw in. What's interesting in terms of recent years is the visible effect longer summers are having when it comes to both tourism and second home ownership in Spain - in short, the high season is getting longer as the world warms up." Alicante Airport's management company, Aena, agrees. The company has announced the extension of its high season to December this year, in recognition of booming passenger demand. The airport has superseded all expectations this summer and is now on track to see more than 3 million passengers pass through from September to December. The figure represents an increase of 15% over the corresponding period last year. Many European airlines are now using larger, transatlantic aircraft on European routes as a result of the increased demand, with the larger jets transporting

over 300 passengers per flight. Figures from the National Statistics Institute reveal that Alicante's experience is being mirrored across Spain. Visitor numbers increased by 10.1% for January to August 2016 compared with the same period the year before, with a total of 52.5 million tourists enjoying the delights of the Spanish climate. British numbers in particular were up - by 13% according to the latest data. The figures have also shown that tourist numbers increased by 5.8% in August alone, as the record Spanish season continues. The property market is also heating up. Ministry of Development figures show all 17 autonomous communities of Spain saw the number of property transactions rise in the second quarter of 2016. They also saw transaction numbers increase in all regions for the full year to June 2016, up 13.2% compared to the year before. "There is a direct and traceable correlation between visitor numbers and the number of properties bought by overseas buyers in many areas of Spain," comments Ideal Homes International's Chris White. "So longer, warmer summers - and autumns -mean more visitors and more interest in property from those visitors. They also mean more enjoyment of Spain's fabulous beaches and warm coastal waters." State meteorological agency AEMET has confirmed this autumn is expected to be the third hottest in over 50 years. Meanwhile figures from the last three years have shown that early September has been the hottest part of the year, with temperatures on average 1.2 degrees above the average for July and August. Temperatures this September were above 40 degrees Celsius.

Hundreds of migrants storm border in Spain’s Ceuta Around 220 African migrants forced their way through a fence between Morocco and the tiny Spanish enclave of Ceuta recently, clashing with police in an incident that injured 35 people, officials said. “The migrants demonstrated a hostile and violent attitude. Many were armed with sticks and they attacked the officers when they tried to prevent them from entering,” the Spanish government's representative in Ceuta said in a statement. Three policemen and 32 migrants were treated in hospital for minor injuries, the statement said. The migrants were taken to a short-stay immigrant centre while Spanish authorities determine their legal status, a local police spokesman said. Police were also searching for a handful of others who made it across the barbed-wire fence and fled into the surrounding hills. Ceuta along with Melilla, another Spanish territory in North Africa, have the European Union’s only land borders with Africa. These are favoured entry points for African migrants seeking a better life in Europe, who get there by either climbing over the border fence or by swimming along the coast. In 2014, 15 migrants drowned as dozens tried to swim to Ceuta from a nearby beach. At the time, human rights groups and migrants said Spanish police tried to keep them from reaching the shore by firing rubber bullets and spraying them with tear gas.

Global artists donate works to help save local horse rescue centre More than 20 artists from seven countries across the world have donated stunning artworks to raise much-needed funds for the Easy Horse Care Rescue Centre near Rojales. The painting will be sold this month as part of a two-stage fundraising event for the centre organised by volunteers Koren Helbig and Isabel Sodric. Funds from the charity sale and auction will help buy winter hay for the rescue centre’s almost 100 rescued horses, ponies and donkeys. Koren, an Australian freelance journalist, and Isabel, a Spanish translator, reached out to their network of artist friends worldwide and secured the support of prominent Spanish artists as well as those from further afield, including Australia, the USA, India, Italy, France and Poland. The fundraising event will begin with a limited-edition online art sale, running via the rescue centre’s online shop until 22nd November, before concluding with a fast-paced live auction on 26th November at The October Press cafe in Alicante. Koren and Isabel, who have volunteered with Easy Horse Care for several years, said they were spurred into action after witnessing first-hand the immense effort rescue centre co-founders Sue and Rod Weeding make to improve animal welfare in Spain. Isabel said: “Once you go out to the rescue centre, meet Sue and Rod and see how hard they work every single day, it’s impossible not to act. We just felt like we had to do something.” Koren added: “We wanted to try something a little bit different to help raise

awareness about what Sue and Rod are achieving – something that echoed the beauty of their horses, which all arrived starving and broken and now live healthy and happy outdoors in herds.” Every donated artwork has an equine theme and some pieces were inspired by the centre’s rescued horses, including Bronson, who was hit over the head with a hammer and suffered brain damage yet remains the kindest, happiest horse. Proceeds will help buy winter hay, a major expense that places the rescue centre under extra pressure during the cooler months when prices almost double to €5 a bale; and the rescued equines munch their way through 29 bales every single day. “We know that Sue and Rod constantly struggle for funds to keep going, especially during winter when hay costs

more and their charity shops are slower,” Koren said. “The Weedings don’t receive a single cent of government funding, which is ridiculous considering many horses have been legally placed in their care by Spanish police. They work crazy hours seven days a week to keep it all going because without them, police would be unable to act on cases of horse abuse and neglect. There is simply nowhere else to take seized animals. That’s why their work is so important.” Sue said gaining the support of so many artists brought tears to her eyes “It’s very heart-warming and means so much to Rod and I. Sometimes it is very difficult to keep going. But this helps us realise there are people out there who care. It’s making our life a little bit lighter, giving us wings again,” she said.

Details The online art sale closes at midnight on Tuesday, 22nd November. Five limitededition prints of each artwork will be released for sale as well as several kindly donated original pieces. Prices for each item will be fixed, offering the chance to snap up an artwork right away, especially for those who can’t make the live auction. To see what’s on offer online, visit: www.easyhorsecare.net/shops/onlineshop/art-prints The auction begins at 8pm on Saturday, 26th November at The October Press in Alicante. Just one print of each work will be auctioned, as well as any original pieces not sold online. Entry is free. For full event details see: www.facebook.com/events/12514141082 14479/

A Good Day to Die Hard – Channel 4 – 10.00 pm

Bruce Willis returns to his role as wisecracking cop John McClane for the fifth instalment of the action-thriller series, directed this time by John Moore. When McClane hears his estranged son Jack has been charged with an attempted assassination in Moscow, he jumps on the first plane to the Russian capital, hoping to somehow secure his release. But, unknown to John, Jack is a CIA undercover agent who got caught up in deadly political intrigue and blackmail that has its roots deep in Russia's criminal underworld. And a massive explosion as John arrives at the courthouse cues the start of a frenetic orgy of violence and an ever-increasing body count, as John finds himself once more dodging showers of bullets and bombs while trying to bring down the bad guys.

BUSINESS PROFILE

Freshen Up Call Freshen Up on 642 907 225 or 965 719 235 or email freshenup2015@gmail.com Freshen Up are painting and decorating specialists, offering a fast, friendly and reliable service. Here is what two of their own clients have to say about the service received by Freshen Up ... We all crave for excellent service, competitive prices, quality workmanship and reliability so I thought I would send to the newspaper a little write-up praising the company Freshen Up. After deciding to have the whole interior and the perimeter of my large house painted I sourced for a company looking for a reasonable estimate and a person I felt I could trust with the undertaking of such work. I scoured various shop windows, word of mouth and numerous papers and decided on three companies to hopefully give me a quote that was equal to mybudget. Two companies quoted well over my price range leaving me with Ian from Freshen Up. Within his price all was included paint, filler etc. which I thought was great and very important he was willing to do the job on the exact date I had been hoping for with a little shuffling in his diary. The day and time of his arrival was like a breath of “fresh air” entering into my property Ian was so full of beans that it was infectious for my daughter and I. He worked relentlessly to complete the painting in the said time as long as hot strong tea flowed throughout the days. He was such a friendly guy that we instantly felt that we had known him for years, very hard working and such pleasure to have around. We have had him back since to paint the exterior of my mother’s house and again the same old Ian friendly, cheerful, reliable, willing to go the extra mile and the price is right. Go on, if your property needs a little TLC, let Ian

give you a free estimate and Freshen Up your home with his workmanship and his cheerful persona.” Angie & Charlotte, Benijofar “Freshen Up were recommended to us by a friend when we were first buying our house in Torrevieja. It was painted in hideous shades, had been empty for several years and badly needed cleaning. The walls were painted in strong colours and we had hoped for something lighter. We rang Freshen Up and Ian arrived the same afternoon to give us a quote. He listened carefully to our requirements and plans for the future. We needed the whole house to be painted – inside and out. Having agreed a very reasonable price, he began work the next morning. We visited a couple of days later, to discover the interior totally transformed to a fresh crisp white, highlighting the darker woodwork. The whole house seemed larger and had taken on much more welcoming feel. He worked carefully around our belongings, covering everything with dust sheets and kept everything clean and tidy. At the end of a week the place looked brand new! The exterior is a pebbled stucco which is notoriously difficult to paint, but Freshen Up worked quickly and thoroughly, (throughout the hot day) to get everything completed in time for our moving date. We are so pleased with the results and now our home feels fresh, spacious and clean. Thank you, Ian! Whenever we have any work in the future, we know who to call!” Ines Chester & Juha Norisalo

Final bonfire for La Pedrera

For many years Casa La Pedreraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Grand Design house has been the focal point for bonfire night celebrations in the area. Once again the famous house on the La Pedrera lakeside put on a superb display of fireworks and catered for hundreds of people keen to keep the spirit of Guy Fawkes alive. A Guy Fawkes competition and a stunning backdrop made the evening unforgettable. The bonfire was slightly unusual being set in a hole in the ground rather than piled up on top. However, the event went smoothly and the large number of children, parents and grandparents present on the night applauded at the end. There were a few brief showers but not enough to quench the bonfire flames and thankfully the threat of rain held off during the all important firework display. Fireworks were lit from both sides of the

seating area keeping the audience on their toes and the whole event was choreographed to music. However, the success of the evening was a little dulled by the news that this would be the last bonfire held at the house. Not only that, but the house itself will be closed for the next three months whilst some licensing issues are attended to. This came as a surprise to many of those there although the news that there would be no more bonfire nights at La Pedrera had already been posted on Facebook. Those who have visited the house and used its vast range of outdoor activities will be hoping that its doors arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t closed for long as it will be difficult, if not impossible, to replace this outstanding facility within the local community.

Snap up Black Friday bargains at local stores

Help raise funds for the Elche Children

Since it was first introduced in 1932, Black Friday has earned a place in the hearts and wallets of generations of US shoppers. Offering generous discounts, and coming the day after Thanksgiving on the last Friday of November, the retail extravaganza is generally regarded as the beginning of the Christmas shopping season. Spaniards may not celebrate Thanksgiving, but since Black Friday was introduced here in Spain in 2012, it has fast become a shopping tradition. This year it falls on 25th November, and stores throughout the country are already stockpiling wares. From its modest beginnings four years ago, when electronic and white goods retailer Media Markt was just about the only large store to hold its Black Friday sale, major high street chains such as Zara and Fnac have joined in, as has Spain’s biggest department store chain, El Corte Inglés. In fact, few retailers can afford not to be part of it. Last year’s event saw record sales, and forecasters are predicting that this time around will be even bigger. El Corte Inglés says that it will be offering bargains in most of its departments, but won’t be releasing any details until a few days before 25th November. Frenchowned megastore Carrefour and Germany’s Media Markt are putting the finishing touches to their advertising campaigns. Inditex, which owns fashion retailer Zara, will probably repeat its strategy of saying nothing until the day before. The online retailer Amazon says it has been gearing up for Black Friday since September. A company spokesman says that it sold 560,000 items last year in

Sponsored kayaking, head shaves, pig racing ... you name it and it’s probably been done by kind-hearted local people to raise money for charity. However, married couple Poncho and Louise Rodriguez are taking it one step further and taking part in a tough Spartan fitness challenge in aid of Elche Children’s Home. A Spartan race is a physically tough obstacle race, they vary in distance and difficulty ranging from 3 miles to marathon distances. Spartan began is in the USA and has been franchised to 14 countries including Spain, UK, Canada, South Korea, and Australia. The couple will take part in the Valencian Spartan of 3rd December, which will see them run 5km and tackle 15 gruelling obstacles. In addition, the pair has joined forces with The Citrus Centre to hold a charity fund day on Sunday 11th December to further boost the charity’s coffers. To sponsor the couple and raise money for Elche Children’s Home call Poncho on 688 386 310 or call into Johnson’s minimarket at The Citrus Centre, Urbanisation Horizonte.

Spain, equivalent to 392 sales per minute. As a US company, Amazon knows and understands Black Friday well. It says that it has seen rapid growth in Spain and Italy and as such is investing in ways to attract more customers and companies to its platform. eBay, one of its main competitors in the burgeoning online retail sector, will also be taking part in Black Friday and says that around four out of 10 Spanish SMEs will be selling their goods at discount prices on 25th November. Due Home, with a workforce of 11, is one such small Spanish company with high hopes for Black Friday. Xavier Martínez, the manager of the home decoration and furniture company, which moved online in 2013, says that it will be looking to increase sales on last year. “We’re thinking big this year. We’ve got between 5,000 and 6,000 products,” he says, adding: “For us it’s a giant showcase. People who discover us that day will buy other things from the catalogue, and this creates a snowball effect that leads into the Christmas period.”

can’t believe we are in midNovember already. Despite the chill in the air at night there is still plenty to keep you warm in the world of live entertainment. On Tuesday you can find the legend that is Richie Alexander at The Club for an evening of soul and Motown music. Richie has regularly been doing his Monday afternoon gigs there, but this will be a rare treat for those who like to see him in Quesada in the evening. Looks like we are rushing towards Christmas and with it comes panto season. First out of the block is “Aladdin and The Magic Lamp”, which starts on Thursday and is on every evening until Sunday night at The Cardinal Belluga Theatre in San Fulgencio. Oh yes it is! Those of you who read this column will know that I am always pleased to see a new bar opening. One such bar is The Med in El Raso. Steve, the owner has moved a few doors up and into bigger premises. The former El Raso Restaurant has been totally refitted and when I visited the other day it looks like it is going to be a spectacular venue for not only the locals of El Raso but anyone who lives in the area. The grand opening is officially on Friday 18th November and entertainment is provided by another Steve – Steve the entertainer. Hailing from the bustling nightspots of Majorca, Steve has built up a vast repertoire of music to get you up and partying. Soon to be a resident on the Costa Blanca Steve has already made his mark as a talented vocalist and like his name implies, entertainer extraordinaire. Saturday is a very special day. The Voice show at The Club, Quesada is a unique chance to see 3 very strong vocalists who have never worked together before. From Calpe comes the glamorous Sharni who is renowned for her diva classic songs. She can also pack a punch with rock ‘n roll and modern dance music. Also on team girl is Angie McKay. Anything can happen when Angie is in town, and frequently does. She is fun lady and mesmerising to watch. For the boys side, Rob Sweeney will be holding up the male entry. Newly moved from the Calpe area Rob is seducing the area with his melodic renditions of everything from Buble to classic 70s pop songs and heart-stopping show tunes. With a mixture like this on one show I think it is right on the red button for quality and go out appeal. If you would like your events in this guide, they are FREE. Just email me the details to letsrockshowslive@gmail.com. All details correct at time of going to press. Shows dates can be found on www.lrshows.com Please contact me direct to book top quality and exclusive acts. Tel 697 501 992. Love life, love music and support your venues and acts. Jax Lawson

Orihuela marks International Day Against Violence Against Women Councillor for Equality, Sabina-Goretti Galindo, has announced the commemorative events organised by the Department for International Day Against Gender Violence that will be held on 25th November. Throughout the month various conferences will take place in the municipal library María Moliner. The next conference will be held on 10th November under the title ‘Open your eyes: trafficking exists because we allow it’, by Amelia Tiganus. The talk ‘Second Conference on Equality for Youth’ will be presented on 23rd November and ‘Violence and Gender: New forms of action’ will be presented by the Council on 12th May. Furthermore, on 25th November, the Town Hall will wear an orange tie that will remain in place until 12th December, to link with International Human Rights Day, within the United Nations campaign

‘16 days against gender violence’. In addition, on the night of 25th November the city will be illuminated by an orange light. On the same day, at 7.00pm the traditional march against gender violence will be held from the Town Hall to the Glorieta Gabriel Miró. The Councillor said: “During this march will show our condemnation and rejection of any kind of violence against women and at which we hope to see both the men and women of Orihuela”. Finally, the program will close with a talk on the prevention of gender violence, entitled ‘There are loves that kill’, by Araceli Rodriguez and Gema Pliego, from 10.00am to 1.00pm, organised by Affamer and framed within the program ‘Violence Prevention Gender in Rural Areas’, funded by the Ministry of Health, Social Services and Equality.

Orihuela’s summer recycling success The Councillor for Urban Waste, Noelia Grao, has received a ‘Green Igloo’ award for the municipalities recycling efforts over the summer. The award was presented by Roberto Fuentes, area manager for Ecovidrio. The Councillor said: “Orihuela showed good results in the recycling of glass and we are very proud to receive the award.” According to the data collected by Ecovidrio the “Summer Plan 2016” campaign, Orihuela recycled 485,870 kilos of glass during the months of July and August, which is 21.3 per cent more than in the same period last year. Noelia Grao said that the achievement comes as a result of the program being promoted by the City Council and Ecovidrio early in the summer and included a total of 61 catering establishments on the Orihuela Costa. She said: “Thanks to them we had a good result, as these establishments generated 50 per cent of the waste placed in the glass containers.”

Roberto Fuentes said that the recycling campaign was “based on awareness and provision of facilities aimed at catering professionals, we also delivered customised recycling cubes, so we were meeting their specific needs.” During the two summer months, the frequency of glass collection was expanded to cope with the high influx of visitors and increased recycling activity. The Councillor, who picked up the award on behalf of Orihuela, also recognised the commitment of citizens and professional hoteliers in recycling this material and promoting sustainability. According to the latest data for 2015, the people of Orihuela recycled a total of 1,994,960 kilograms of glass, which means that each inhabitant recycled an average 24.1 kg. Orihuela has an average of 143 inhabitants per container, and at present a total of 579 igloos for packaging waste glass are installed across the Municipality.

Local charities join forces Two local charities, The AECC and Help Vega Baja, will now be working together to benefit people living in the area who may need support from either organisation. The joint initiative was born out of discussions by the presidents, Michele Masson from HELP Vega Baja and Maria Wilson of the AECC, Orihuela Costa and comes into effect on 1st December. From this date a volunteer from HELP

will be based at the AECC office, on the lower level of the Playa Flamenca Commercial Centre. This will enable visitors to the AECC office to either renew or take out a new membership for HELP Vega Baja. In return, volunteers at the Hel Vega Baja centre in San Miguel will be able to receive requests on behalf of the AECC from anyone wishing to book screening tests for breast, prostate or cervical cancer.

Michele Masson, President of HELP Vega Baja said: “It is very clear that there is a great benefit to the community in local charities working together and we are delighted to have the opportunity to work alongside Maria and the team at the AECC. This new arrangement will mean that although we do have membership applications on our website, our members who live locally to Playa Flamenca will have somewhere to go to renew their memberships other than going in to Torrevieja or San Miguel. Likewise we will now be able to assist the AECC with bookings for cancer screening tests for those who live in the San Miguel area.” Maria Wilson also had positive comments to make about the collaboration and said that ‘working with HELP Vega Baja in this way will certainly benefit both charities and those who need our support so when Michele approached me I had no hesitation in agreeing with the suggestion.’ For further information on HELP Vega Baja, contact the San Miguel Centre on 966 723 733, email office@helpvegabaja.com or at www.helpvegabaja.com The charity also has a popular Facebook page which provides all the latest news on the charity. More information on the AECC Early Detection Programme and to book a cancer screening test visit: www.pinkladies.es or email info@pinkladies.es or orihuelacosta@aecc.es or telephone 965 329 841.

David via email asks: When my internet starts it always goes to Yahoo web search, I don't know why as I have never wanted this to be my home page. In Firefox options/homepage I can change the homepage but it reverts back to Yahoo when I restart the computer. Please help me get rid of this irritating interloper. I am using a Toshiba laptop running Windows Vista home premium using the Firefox browser.

Technology

Aunty Says: Hi David. First have a look to see if there are any Yahoo related toolbars or add-ons installed in Firefox as these can often cause this kind of problem. Also look for and uninstall any IObit or Yahoo programs via control panel- As a last resort try uninstalling Firefox and reinstall a fresh new copy from the Mozilla website. You only have around 6 months before Microsoft officially discontinue any updates or support for Vista so you should plan for at least a Windows 7 upgrade.

Rita from Santa Pola asks: I moved to Spain 2 years ago and before that I was with BT for 20 years and had an email address @btinternet but a few weeks ago it stopped working on my phone and my computer. I contacted British Telecom who told me I was no longer a customer and that my email address had been cancelled. I am seriously upset but is there anything I can do to retrieve my emails and contact list? Aunty Says: Hello Rita. I think BT teamed up with Yahoo a while back and they were offering ex customers the option to sign-up to their premium email service which allowed folk to keep hold of their email address even after they finished with BT. I have never liked company specific email addresses for this reason and there seems to be a purge at the moment with a lot of Sky and Telefonica (Movistar) customers losing access to their email service. Go for an independent email provider such as Google’s Gmail. Mark via email asks: Hello, I have a problem that nobody seemingly has a solution to so I will explain it as best I can. I have an Acer laptop running Windows 8.1 Pro and about one month ago it started to continually search for (and fail) to find any updates at all . During this time the computer is running continuously at 100% and as a result the laptop is very slow. Today the laptop has been at 100% of CPU power for over 6 hours and still searching for updates and I can't keep using the laptop. Any ideas or thoughts you might have will be very much appreciated. Aunty Says: Hi Mark. Windows updates are causing so many serious problems at the moment and the list of possible fixes will probably fill this whole paper. I can only suggest doing what I had to do with my Windows 7 machine which was to disable the Windows Update service. Press the Windows/Start key and type services.msc. Right click on the Windows Update service and choose “properties” and change the “Startup type” to “disabled” and restart your laptop. I have done this as a temporary fix until Microsoft sort out these annoying bugs. Let me know how you get on. Any questions, you can email me at: auntyvirus@costablancapeople.com and hopefully see you all next week.

JAGUARS – Big Cats Rule

The Jaguar Enthusiasts Club in Spain held its last meeting at Restaurant Nugolat near Elche on the 30th October 2016. Our third visit to this brilliant restaurant. May I take this opportunity to thank all those people that attended. A very special thank you to Ian McMenemy, our Events Director for organising another fabulous event and the sterling work he does organising all of our meetings. And a thank you to David Sleap for his

presentation about his stunning XKR Silverstone. Last but not least a big thank you to the staff at Nugolat for helping to make it a very special day. At the end of the meeting we presented Vincente, one of Nugolats management with a JEC trophy recognising their efforts in making it such a great day. Restaurant Nugolat is a very popular restaurant and I can highly recommend it. Nugolat is located just outside Elche on

the Carretera Dolores, Km 5. It’s blessed with beautiful gardens and great parking and we were lucky enough to have fabulous weather. We were allocated our own special dining room which opened up to the garden terrace, perfect for us, a good job as the rest of the restaurant was absolutely packed. Blue skies and warm weather are very conducive to Jaguar owners and on arrival most of us congregated in the garden terrace for a “natter and a noggin” with old friends and to meet new members. We sat down for lunch just before 2pm in our private function room in which the tables had been set “to the nines”; they were incredible. I had high hopes for the rest of the day; I was not to be disappointed. The feast commenced. To start, fresh bread, garlic and tomato, a plate of succulent ham and Manchego cheese, a crisp smoked salmon salad and squid rings in a light batter. This was followed by hot potato and ham croquets. On offer for the main course were two types of paella, fish, solomillo of pork, and lamb chops, my choice, tender

succulent, melt in the mouth even better with mint sauce (my own supply). Dessert was ice cream and a light cream topped sponge. Drinks aplenty accompanied this delicious feast, unlimited wine, beers, water and coffee. For €25 a head, fantastic value for money. I take this opportunity to thank all the members that attended especially the new members and the members that bought guests, bringing the total to 62 people and 20 cars which included Chris Fox’s fabulous XK120, a stunning white XJS Coupe, David Sleaps XK Silverstone and many other beautiful Jaguar “works of art”. The meeting also held another surprise, Ian organised a “Ladies Choice”, two ladies chose their favourite car, the trophy was won by beautiful blue XK. Maybe I’m biased but Jaguar owners are a special sort of person and we are lucky enough to have some very special people as members of the club. A great meal, brilliant company and lots of laughs - just an exceptional day, why not come and join us at our next meeting on the 18th of December for our Christmas bash. We have a few things planned for 2017, firstly The President’s Choice on the 28th January, a cruise in convoy to one of the best restaurants in the Costs Blanca for a Gourmet experience. Then The Big One 2017 at Parador Leon in April, and maybe a run down south, another chance to meet the members from the Costa Del Sol. The Jaguar Enthusiasts Club is the largest of the worlds Jaguar Clubs, apart from joining in the fun at the meetings, members

also benefit from a glossy 140 page A4 monthly magazine, Jaguar spares department and a technical advice service second to none. If you live in Spain and own a Jaguar you should be a member of The Jaguar Enthusiasts Club. The JEC in Spain is organised by Eric Arnold and Ian McMenemy. Eric can be contacted by email at jaguarspain@outlook.com or by phone on 609931647 or alternatively check out www.jec-spain.com or the JEC main web site www.jec.org.uk.

Road deaths rise More than a thousand people have already died on the roads in Spain this year, which is 3 percent more than by the same date in 2015. During the first nine days of November alone, 20 people have lost their lives in 18 separate road traffic accidents. However, this is 15 fewer than the number of victims registered over the same period last year. Nevertheless, overall this year

28 more people have lost their lives on the roads than they did in 2015 - 1,002 in total - despite the fact that the number of fatal accidents has dropped by 1 percent – 891 compared with last year. November 2015 saw a total of 101 deaths in 92 road traffic accidents, and the annual total came to 1,131. So far this year, the worst month for road traffic fatalities

was August, when 130 people lost their lives in 117 separate accidents, followed by July with 123 deaths, both figures higher than their 2015 equivalents. The latest data from the DGT (General Traffic Directorate) reveal that excessive speed is one of the principal causes of fatal road traffic accidents in Spain, accounting for at least 300 deaths each year.

The number of motorists illegally using mobile phones while at the wheel is rising, an RAC survey suggests. It says 31% of motorists said they used a handheld phone behind the wheel compared with 8% in 2014. The number of drivers who said they sent a message or posted on social media rose from 7% to 19%, while 14% said they had taken a photograph or video while driving. The RAC's annual Report on Motoring surveyed 1,714 UK motorists. The breakdown organisation said the use of handheld mobiles was "the biggest road safety concern among motorists today". It believes a 27% drop in full-

time dedicated roads policing officers in England and Wales excluding London - between 2010 and 2015 means drivers do not fear they will be caught for offences not detected by automatic cameras. Department for Transport figures show that a driver impaired or distracted by their phone was a contributory factor in 492 accidents in Britain in 2014 - 21 of which were fatal and 84 classed as serious. The survey also found: ❧ 7% of those who admitted using a mobile while driving said they did it because they knew they would get away with it ❧ 23% claimed it was an emergency, 21% said they needed information for their

journey and 12% said it was a habit RAC road safety spokesman Pete Williams said: "It is alarming to see that some drivers have clearly relaxed their attitudes to the risks associated with this behaviour but more worrying is the increase in the percentage of motorists who actually admit to using a handheld device when driving. "The fact that drivers have little or no confidence that they will be caught when breaking these laws is a likely contributor to the problem and it is sadly the case that every day most road users see other drivers brazenly using their handheld phones when in control of a vehicle - a sight which should be a thing of the past."

SPORTING ORIHUELA CF 0 LAS RAMBLAS CD MONTESINOS 4 GOLF SOCIETY CD Montesinos line up:Dani, Manu, Bachir, German, Aureu, Koko, Fran, Alfredo, Dario, Joao, Macan. Subs: Yeray, Fernando, Carlos Lorente, Aitor, Dimitri Scorers: Aureu (2), Carlos Lorente (2) CD Montesinos stormed to another

convincing victory, this time a 0-4 away win against a Sporting Orihuela side who play on a small, compact pitch which has always been an uncomfortable place to go for CD Montesinos side who prefer a bigger and wider playing surface but who, on this occasion, proved they are able to adapt. After a poor first 45 minutes when the ball was up in the air for most of the time, the second half brought a massive change in the pattern of the game, especially after manager Carlos Perez had brought on speedy striker Carlos Lorente. It was Carlos who broke the deadlock shortly after coming on, and it was Carlos who set up a second goal for the Monte “goal machine” Aure, who later netted again to put the visitors 03 ahead and have the Montesinos travelling supporters on their feet. Monte had further chances to increase their lead – Alfredo hit the bar, Fran smashed a shot against the post and Macan, who was again superb and all over the place, also missing a couple. But then, right on full time, Carlos Lorente capped off a magical second half performance and scored his second of the game as the referee blew for full time, and the fourth goal for Monte. This result means that CD Montesinos have now scored ten goals in their last two matches and conceded just one. The change since manager Carlos Perez took over has been outstanding. Long gone is the dreadful

defensive performance of the first two matches, the lack of passion from the players or the fight that was missing. These players are 100% motivated and look as if they would run through a wall for each other. With centre half Manu coming back to the club after his brief flirtation with a higher level at Horadada, the defence now looks solid. But up front is what always catches the eye. Our forward line up is, at this level, second to none and take into account that we still have Carlos and Vazquinho to come back into the squad (if they can be accommodated that is!). Although we started with two heavy defeats this season and then, when we did win our first game, the Valencia FA deemed that we had played an unregistered player and gave us a three point deduction PLUS we forfeited the game 0-3. The club have appealed against this and it looks as if we might get that overturned. If we do, we are right back in the melting pot and once again challenging to top spot. Our next match, against league leaders Callosa Deportiva “B” has been brought forward from Sunday 13th November to THURSDAY 10th November with an 8.30 kick off. Win this game and anything can happen. For additional information please contact us on our Facebook page (CDMontesinos) or by e-mail at thefullmonte2011@hotmail.com or via our website at www.cdmontesinos.com

Quesada Golf Society The last society game was at Roda. The course was as we have been accustomed to finding on our many visits, in fine condition. It was a sunny day with the bonus of calm conditions with only a slight breeze. In short a perfect day for golf with no excuses other than a bad day on the golf course which of course sometimes happens. The turn-out was good with over 30 players contesting an individual stableford competition with 2 divisions. It was also the final round of the 2016 Eclectic competition at the chosen course for the year. The winner of the Gold Division was top football scout Derek “Melvin” Bragg with 36 points. He played very well and could have scored a few more had his putting been as good as his approach play. He also didn´t have a driver in his bag. In second place with 35 points was Alan Slack or as one of the other golfers mentioned “Slack Alice”. His play wasn´t slack though and he had a very consistent round of golf. In third place on C/B was Bob Jones with 33 points. He pipped Brent “Mercedes” Hollins who failed to achieve a podium finish for the first time in ages. In the Silver division the winner was John “De Da” Murphy with 28 points followed by Brian “our money man” Airey with 27 points. In third place was big John Featherstone with 24 points. The “Nearest the Pins” winners

were Alan Slack, Big John Dunnion, the genial Irishman David McSweeney, Brian Airey and David Trotman who came good on the 18th hole. There were 2 winners of the 2´s, Lord Ian Fogerty of Manchester and Welshman Tony Forbes who each went home with a fistful of euro´s. The second semi-final of the annual knockout competition was played between Lord Ian Fogerty and Darryll “Sick-note” Wright. Sick-note triumphed. It was all square after 16 holes with Darryll winning the final 2 holes. The final will be contested between Sick-note and Tony Forbes. Roy has closed the book with Tony being the “red hot” favourite to pick up

the trophy. The scratch-card was won by John Dunnion who deserved a few euro´s for all the hard work he puts in in organising the days golf. The players returned to the society base, the Quesada Country Club for the presentations and a tasty hot & cold buffet and a few drinks and some after-match banter. Anyone in the Quesada area looking to join a very friendly golf society and play golf once a fortnight at a wide variety of courses at a very reasonable cost, should contact the Chairman & Membership Secretary Les Pancott on 966716723 Darrylldinho

It was starting to feel like winter had arrived as we set off for our first game of the week which was a Dusty Bin (3-2-1) with three scores counting on the first hole, two on the second and one on the third and so on throughout the round. The strong cold wind and the tees being further back than of late probably accounted for the fact that the top score was much lower than normal for this format with 80 pts winning the competition. The winners were Ulrike Barth, Olga Douglas, Hendrick Oldenziel and Terry Field beating second placed team comprising Rod Doel, Dave Pulling, Bryan Neal and 'Albert' by 3 pts. On Wednesday we played for our Poppy Day trophy although the main aim of the day is of course to raise funds for the Royal British Legion so that they may continue their excellent work supporting ex-servicemen and their families. There was a good turn out with €168 being raised for the Poppy Day appeal. Prizes were on offer for the top 2 places and nearest the pin on holes 6, 10 and 14. The overall winner with an excellent score of 38 pts was Dave Pulling who can be seen holding the trophy on the left of the above photograph along with our President Doug Wright (centre) and Brian Dent representing the Royal British Legion. Ulrike Barth was in second place scoring a level par total of 36 pts. Nearest the pin winners were as follows: Hole 6 - Benedicte Kruse Hole 10 - Bernie Stone

Hole 14 - Peter Radcliffe There were five 2's: Doug Wright, Bernie Stone, Benedicte Kruse, Ken Robertson and Jan Svendsen. On Friday we played a 2 ball better ball which was won by the pairing of Ron Phipps and Brian Dent with a total of 44 pts. Ron Phipps was also in second place as being the lower handicap player of three he also partnered Alan Douglas who together scored a total of 43 pts. For the second week running one of our members scored a hole in one. This time it was Hendrick Oldenziel who can be seen in the attached photograph retrieving his ball on the 14th hole. Congratulations Hendrick! Mike Chapman

DEPLETED SPAIN TOO GOOD FOR MACEDONIA Spain 4 – Macedonia 0 – in Granada. The Granada football public hasn’t had a lot to cheer about in the last few months, as their team languishes at the foot of La Liga, so this international fixture was an opportunity for them to forget their woes, and get behind the national side. Spain started with a depleted side, Iniesta, Piqué, Ramos and Diego Costa all being out injured, but still looked an impressive squad, with Morata leading the attack. After only four minutes, however, there was a scare when Vitolo allowed the ball to run out for a corner – thinking it was a goal-kick – and from the resulting goalmouth scramble, De Gea was forced into a fine reflexive save. Almost immediately the visitors’ keeper Dimitriowski (who actually plays for Gimnástic in the Spanish second division) had to go down to save at Vitolo’s feet – and received attention. Despite the 70/30 possession in favour of the home side, there was another anxious moment, again following a corner, when the unmarked Pandev headed just wide. After 24 minutes Silva and the lively Morata almost got through the physical, packed defence of the Macedonians, then, ten minutes later, Vitolo’s good cross produced Spain’s first goal, when Velkovski headed into his own net to his dismay, and Spanish delight. Soon afterwards Vitolo appeared to be fouled in the area, but the Austrian referee waved play on. When the second half

began Bartra made a hash of a clearance, but somehow recovered, then Silva missed a golden opportunity to increase Spain’s lead. Morata, who had been given a rough ride by the defence, was replaced by Aduriz as the hour ticked by, then, almost immediately, Silva’s pass found Vitolo at the far post, who made no mistake. 2-0. Seven minutes later, De Gea was again in action, making a fine save from a long-range shot. Isco was introduced for Koke, and the malagueña hadn’t been on the field long before his pass found Monreal, who slotted in Spain’s third goal. A minute later the busy Silva threaded the ball through to Aduriz, who joyfully slid in a fourth goal for the ‘Reds.’ A good win, which keeps Spain on course for the finals, albeit with a long way still to go, and some tough games in prospect. Elsewhere England had little trouble in beating Scotland 3-0, strengthening Gareth Southgate’s claim to take over the manager’s job. Malcolm Palmer

Your week in sport ■ CHRIS DARWEN It’s not a bad time to be Irish and like sport I guess. Dundalk breaking new ground in the Europa League aside, the Irish are winning pretty much anything they put their hand to at the moment.

Twickenham. The 37-21 win meant England ended a 10 year hoodoo against the Springboks. Rugby hey, 10 years without a win and they panic. Try being the football team. Wales finally bounced back from five straight defeats to beat Argentina and Scotland, well Scotland managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of an improbably victory against Australia. I doubt that managed to cheer up the Australian sporting public, what with their cricket team and everything. Speaking of cricket, England controlled a draw in the 1st Test against India. There were some centuries and some wickets, but at the end of five hot days nobody won.

Conor McGregor became UFC’s first ever two-class champion. That means he has the ability to beat the living daylights out of people at a variety of weights. It’s not for me, UFC as a sport, but I’m not going to tell him. The Irish rugby team looked as if they were still slightly hungover from the euphoria for finally beating the All Blacks last weekend. They staggered to a 52-21 win over Canada, that well known rugby playing nation. Their football team won too, but we’ve already covered that elsewhere. England battered the South African’s at

Sir Bradley Wiggins will probably be looking forward to some time out of the limelight. He starts his last race on Tuesday, taking part in the Ghent Six Day. One would presume it is in Ghent and lasts six days. Further information has not been forthcoming. It was all a bit wet in Brazil, but once they finally got to complete the F1 Grand Prix the winner was the safety car driver. Not really. Lewis Hamilton won I think. It was quite hard to tell as all the cars looked like speed boats at the end. Hamilton’s victory takes the Championship into the final weekend. Andy Murray may only have a brief spell as the number one tennis player in the world. The ATP World Finals started in London and Djovokic wants his spot back!

There were also games such as guess the weight of the cake, find the treasure and guess who the babies were to help raise more funds for the appeal.

Out Battled RODS & REELS

ABBEY ANGLING This week’s 9th and penultimate round of the Winter Series was fished at the El Bosquet Complex on the 8th November. The mornings are now much colder with the early morning temperatures down to just 10 degrees today, and a very strong wind all day making pole fishing difficult. Nothing though seems to deter the mosquitoes with a few of the fishermen suffering bad bites from them. We can now expect weights to tail off as the water gets colder. Neil McBirnie still managed the top spot to keep up his winning streak with a weight of 14.5kgs, I tried very hard but could still only manage 2nd place with 10.860kgs. Bread and Pellet still taking the top weights 1st Neil McBirnie with 14.500kgs fishing the pole using pellet and bread 2nd Terry Screen with 10.860kgs fishing the pole using the bread punch 3rd Bill Reade with 10.600kgs fishing the pole using bread and pellet 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

Torre Levante 3 – 0 CD Torrevieja

Torry will put this defeat behind them and concentrate on the visit of Elche Ilicitano this Sunday. It was a below par performance, but with a number of pleasing aspects. Adrian Ruescas was signed during the week as cover for Juanmi and the teenager had a very good debut. Despite his light frame and youthfulness, he is a tough tackler, a hard worker and is good with both feet. He has much to learn, but this was a debut with considerable promise. David Soto was introduced with less than 20 minutes to go and he too made a favourable impression. He ran willingly into the channels and had two right foot shots that smacked of goals to come. His second effort was not too far off the mark and he was bitterly disappointed that he had not scored. As usual Carrasco was immense and his team mates gave 100%. But the hosts were far too robust and strong for them, as was emphasised by the opening goal after one minute. Eugenio was on the wrong side of his opponent who strongly but failry shoulder charged him right out of the way. He looked up and saw that Vicente

had left his man alone at the far post and delivered an accurate ball to his feet and Olcina volleyed home. It could have been two soon afterwards when Torry got themselves in a right old tangle and with Buba on the edge of his area, the ball was lobbed towards the empty goal. Buba was delighted to see it come back off the crossbar and into his returning arms. Torry never troubled Paredes in the Orriols goal and the few shots that made it through to him were timid and of little consequence. Nonetheless, Torry were only one down at the interval and capable of snatching a goal and preserving their recent good form. But the Orriols were resolute, especially in their challenges, which saw four of their number booked and Yago sent off in the dying minutes for a ruthless lunge on Dani Salazar. The hosts wrapped up the game in the 75th minute when Torry were claiming offside. The ball was nodded into the box where Gilabert had plenty of space. He wasted no time driving the ball past a beleagured Buba, as Torry defenders held up their arms appealing for the offside flag. It did not come. After this Torry enjoyed their most active and threatening period, with shots from Lewis, Booker and those two from Soto, all good chances. An intelligent free kick from Luis Carlos over the wall saw Carrasco just beaten to the ball by a quick thinking Paredes to deny him his first Torry goal. In a final assault from Torry, Luis Carlos

jigged down the left flank and as his opponent went to ground, Luis claimed hand ball and stopped playing. Not so Torre Levant, who booted the ball upfield and Reyes spun Carrasco ten yards inside his own half and raced after the ball. Buba came out thirty yards from his box to try and save the day, but Reyes had the advantage and got there first, slipping it round him and continuing towards the big empty net as Eugenio made a token effort to catch him. One yard out, he blasted the ball into the net and celebrated as if he had scored the winner in a cup final! This game is best forgotten, but it may leave some ill effects. Vicente was limping sorely post match, Pastor took another knock to his injured knee and Buba also sustained a knee problem. However, all will be keen to recover and be in the line up for the home game on Sunday against Elche Ilicitano, a team that once boasted Pastor and Vicente amongst their ranks. It kicks off at 5pm on Sunday at the Nelson Mandela, where the line up from the visitors will feature a few ex Torry favourites.

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

I tell you what, you’ve got to be a good side to wear pink haven’t you? The nation of Scotland would have been pumped full of national pride, ready to head over the border and teach those English a thing or two about football, just like they did in the good old days. Scotland, the footballing nation that gave us wee Jinky Johnstone, Graeme Souness, Kenny Dalglish and Alan Hutton. Scotland, the land of the brave. Wearing pink. Can you even imagine the sight of Souness ploughing through the back of Hoddle wearing that kit? Funnily enough the Simpsons predicted all the way back in 2000 that any Scottish team turning up at the home of their most hated opponents wearing pink would be given a pretty sound beating. Mel Gibson will be turning in his grave. If anyone felt this could be a Wembley classic in the world’s oldest ever international fixture the fact that both sides were managed by former Middlesbrough managers should have been the first clue. The second would have been the team selections. One can only presume that Strachan was resting some of his better players for upcoming fixtures? When you have one of the brightest young talents in the Bundesliga available to you and you are a side as bereft of flair as Scotland then it would make sense to pick Oliver Burke. Equally, when Matty Ritchie is thought of as the

Newcastle version of Gareth Bale, give him a game too maybe? In the end, the fact that England won by three headers to nil should mean Southgate gets the nod for the England job full time. The deafening noise within Wembley Stadium was not from the fans cheering the goals, it was from southern based Liverpool fans furiously typing into

England. Far from it my friends, far from it. Scotland, as bad as they were, should have been 2 or 3-1 up just after half time. But, as we know, England can be very cruel when it comes to Scotland and their chance to break free having passed them by, the English made sure they paid for it shortly after. That’s an independence and Brexit reference for anyone struggling to

their mobile phones, letting the world know that “their” club was going to win England the World Cup. Sure, Sturridge reminded the public that he is actually a very good striker and Lallana continued his fine start to the season but let’s remember that these boys are not Moore, Hurst or even Martin Peters. Kyle Walker and Danny Rose managed to play well at Wembley which will no doubt have offended Pochettino somewhat. Mind you, they weren’t facing wingers with half a brain and the ability to dribble the ball half a yard. That said, 3-0 sounds like it was all

keep up. Plus the fact that James Forrest had his shooting boots on the wrong feet. Maybe Grant Hanley should have had his shooting boots on his head, as his first half header at goal was the best clearance he managed in the entire game. I can only presume it was accompanied by the cry of “OOOOOOOOOOOOT!” as it flew off his head. I am quick to criticise Wayne Rooney, which does not put me in the minority by any means, but it turns out he is actually better at taking corners than Harry Kane. Sterling was a little worrying, barely getting a kick for 90 minutes. Sadly, the

one kick he did get was from one yard out to an open goal, and he managed to put it over. Even James Forrest shook his head at that one. Scotland fans have a few issues with Gordon Strachan, understandably. Any man who, when 3-0 down against your biggest rivals, feels that the tactical solution is to change right backs probably needs to be called into the office and asked if he would like to resign and claw back the remaining shreds of his dignity. On this evidence England are still far from banishing the memory of Iceland particularly as the Scottish fans took great glee pre-match in taking photographs outside every branch of the frozen food company they could find. Still, on the very same evidence and using the methodology we used to use in the playground as kids, Iceland would beat Scotland 5-1. There was only one question remaining after the final whistle went. What exactly was Ryan Giggs doing there? Even when Arsenal are not playing some Arsenal fans get a chance to question Arsene. Serge Gnabry scored a hat-trick on his Germany debut, meaning people took to social media to decry this as another example of Wenger losing the plot. Folks, the hat-trick was against San Marino. Don’t add that to the list of reasons as to why you want him out. Whilst England were being made to look reasonably average against Scotland, the Northern Irish were busy racking up four goals themselves against Azerbaijan. You never know, they might make it to

Russia which is more than can be said for Wales. The clue was in their pre-match photo. The shape looked all wrong there and it continued into the match itself. Aaron Ramsey covered some ground, but sadly for him most of it was chasing his first touch. Bale scored, obviously, but Serbia equalised as Wales yet again failed to hold on to a lead. Finally, Pogba scored again. Even Payet got involved, though he did say he was relieved to be playing in a match where he could look into the stands and not see a fight. James McClean scored the winner for the Republic of Ireland in a win that made Roy Keane smile for the first time all week.
