More than 400 criminal organisations in Spain ■ MIREILLE TODDINGTON mireille@costablancapeople.com

PAIN’S NATIONAL POLICE and Civil Guard have identified 440 organised crime groups operating in the country, part of a network of some 3,600 at work throughout the European Union. At least 10 of these are classified

as “high intensity”: that is, they have been operating for more than three years; they have at least 20 members (the average is from 11 to 20 individuals); they have one main area of activity, but also work in other related areas; and they are multinational, sometimes contracting out services to other gangs. Typically, these criminals will have created legitimate front companies through which to launder their ill-gotten gains. Last week, Spanish police arrested a businessman on the island of Mallorca: he had a construction company and a business managing slot machines. He was married and his children went to private schools. For the last three years he had been smuggling some 150 kilograms of

cocaine onto the Balearic island each year, subcontracting distribution to local Gypsy families. In total, seven people were arrested. “These types of arrangements normally last around three years and tend to operate in big cities or tourist destinations, where their activities do not stand out,” say police, adding that these gangs work in networks often set up in prison. The majority of criminal gangs operating in Spain are dealing in drugs, say police: “Colombians, cocaine, Moroccans, hashish, and the Turks, heroin,” says one officer. Fraud is another activity, along with money laundering, followed by people trafficking, prostitution,

burglary and theft of luxury cars. Again, some nationalities specialise in certain activities: “Colombians: drugs and jewelry; Russians and Georgians, burglary and luxury cars, along with money laundering; the Chinese, prostitution and people trafficking; Pakistanis and Syrians, falsification of documents; Bulgarians, weapons…” says the same source. Since 2014, when Spain set up CITCO, the Intelligence Center against Terrorism and Organized Crime, some 250 connections have been made linking organised crime and terrorism. Structures are changing: there are no more leaders, there are cells, flexible groups that assign people particular responsibilities and that are active in

different markets so as to keep their options open,” says a police source. Spain’s police say that the first criminal groups to operate in Spain were offshoots of the Italian mafia, which moved here in the 1970s as Spain’s economy began opening up. Since then, Italy’s four main mafias, the Continued on page 10

Children left home alone for a month Parents in Murcia left their children home alone for a month while visiting China. It was teachers in the school where the eight year old girl attended, who noticed that she was unwashed and had fleas in her hair. The Social Services of the Murcia Town Hall were advised last week of the possible crime of child abandonment by the parents. The two children aged 8 and 15 years of age had been surviving alone for more than a month, supposedly because their parents were visiting China over that period of time. The

teachers also noted her clothes were not in keeping with the weather and that she had apparently tried to cut her own hair. Social Services went to the home and confirmed that the two children had been living alone. They saw rotting food littered all over the house which was also full of rubbish and dry faeces in the bath. The 15 year old boy had been trying to look after his younger sister, noted a report by Social Services but did not have the life skills needed. Both are now in a centre specialising in the care of minors.

Maritime security for Torrevieja The request that Torrevieja should have its own sea vessel for security and rescue purposes seems to have been heard by the government. The Salvage ship, Salvamar Caliope, will be provided for Torrevieja to keep its coast secure. The need for some kind of maritime vessel in Torrevieja is compounded by the multitude of purposes to which its sea front is put. The area is popular for its sports and recreational use as well as by its fishing fleet. Torrevieja was previously the only seaside municipality not to have such a vessel attached to it.

Last chance to take part in the tapas route Last weekend saw the first instalment of the Torrevieja tapas route for November. If you missed out on this you still have time to take part as it is also scheduled for Thursday the 24th to Saturday 27th November.

paella competition Torrevieja’s patron saint festival will begin on the 27th November with a children’s parade and finish on the 10th December with the ‘crazy cars’ and great paella competition. Councillor Domingo Pérez has explained that he has received so many requests to enter the paella competition that it will not be able to take place in its usual venue by the port. Instead there are plans to host the event in the market on the Avenida Delfina Viudes.

‘This is good news,’says Councillor Pérez, ‘Altogether there were 200 applications for the paella competition. That’s around 80 more applications than last year. The problem is now we must look for an alternative venue as we can’t hold it in the usual place due to issues with security and space.’ It is hoped to be able to make arrangements so that people can be transported between the old site and the new. Along with this change there will also be

a modification to the way in which the winners are chosen. Overall there will be 80 paellas participating, these being the first to register. In order to make sure that they all have the same opportunity and that the rice judges try later isn’t past its best, there will be eight judges who will each taste ten dishes and choose a winner. The eight finalist dishes will be tasted by a professional jury from the hostelry industry and will be headed by the association president Joaquín Guillamó. Five winners will be announcedand the sixth prize will be given by the Councillor of Fiestas to an entry that represents outstanding effort and contribution to the competition. The‘crazy cars’will take place for the first time in Torrevieja. Already there are a dozen participants who have signed up. The event will take place on the 4th December in CalleBazán from Avenida Diego Ramírez Pastor until the Plaza de la Consitución. Other events that are planned for Torrevieja’s festival include the children’s parade which opens the fiesta on Sunday the 27th November. The theme for this will be superheroes. Other events to watch out for include the treasure trail and San Fermínrun, both taking place on December 3rd. The first of these is aimed at young people and the second is for children. It is hoped that during the fiesta time there will be something for everyone to enjoy. Suzanne O’Connell

Christmas payout BITE SIZE process to be changed NEWS: ■ SUZANNE O’CONNELL suzanne@costablancapeople.com

The traditional Christmas payout to pensioners will be changed this year in Torrevieja. It has emerged that the hand out that usually extends to 1,200 local pensioners has been meted out illegally since 2003. Instead of administering this scheme,as it has been in previous years, the government aims to create a new method for calculating what people should receive. The scheme is known as ‘paguicas’ and on the 17th November Torrevieja town hall were informed by the government that it was, in fact, illegal. This follows a request from them for clarification of the scheme. It has been revealed that this annual subsidy cannot continue to be applied in the same manner and that it has overlapped with other benefits in previous years. The mayor, José Manuel Dolón, has indicated that he would have preferred to carry out the scheme as usual in 2015 and 2016 and then started a new scheme in

2017 so as not to disappoint those who are used to receiving money in this way. However, he states, it is not possible to do so. The paguica usually amounts to around €400 per recipient. The current council government do not want to stop pensioners from having something extra at this time of year, but the manner in which this is conducted will need to be changed. It is intended that from now on the types of aid and services to which those eligible can benefit will be much more varied. The new scheme could include donations from €300 upwards but the amount given will need to be agreed according to documentation. Now the priority of the mayor is to explain the new basis of the hand out, inform people of its content and invite them to collect the necessary documents that they will need to provide. More information will be provided on the town hall’s web page and the councillor for the third age, África Celdrán will visit different centres and associations in order to inform them of the new scheme.

Christmas fair and fashion show The Paul Cunningham Nurses Charity will hold their Christmas Fair and fashion show at Casa Ventura, San Luis, on Saturday 26th November from 11am until 3pm. There will be a number of stalls selling different products at the event including Christmas goodies, bags, jewellery, picture frames, Christmas candles and shoes. To add to the atmosphere, the Torrevieja Barbershop Harmonisers will be there singing Christmas carols. There will be a raffle prize and a tombola stall and free cava and mince pies will be provided on arrival. The clothes that the models wear during the show will be available for purchase on the day.

Town hall sets a recycling example Councillor for the environment, Fanny Serrano, has presented recycling bins specifically designed for the recycling of light packaging. These containers will be placed in the town council’s different department buildings. In this way the council hopes to set Continued on page 5

Fanny Serrano explained that they don’t want to see a single recyclable object lost along the way. The containers will be placed in a number of government offices and will not only ensure that best use is made of the plastic and cans but will also yield a small profit for the town hall.

Training for rescue volunteers Torrevieja’s civil protection volunteers took part in a search and rescue practice to help them feel confident about what to do in such an emergency. The scenarios that they practised included searching out and rescuing people trapped under debris. The training was also mindful of the impact that taking part in such rescue attempts can have on the person themselves. The training was led by experienced and well-qualified people and different groups of volunteers took part from towns across the Valencian community. The different groups exchanged knowledge and took part in different scenarios using a variety of interventions to address the challenge faced in each one.

A fired Telepizza worker’s boyfriend set light to a fleet of delivery mopeds in an act of revenge. The 32-year-old set fire to 15 Telepizza delivery mopeds worth an estimated €30,000 as revenge after his girlfriend lost her job with the fast food outlet. Emergency services were called out in the early hours of the morning to the moped park at the branch of the fast-food chain in San Vicente del Raspeig, which is about 10 kilometres north of the city of Alicante. The blaze was so severe that they had to evacuate the entire block where the pizza restaurant is based. An analysis of the fire damage after it was extinguished showed that it was almost certainly intentional, and police and fire fighters interviewed numerous witnesses to the blaze to see if anyone had details of the arsonist. This led to the culprit being taken in for questioning, and several ‘contradictions’ in his statement

More sushi for Mercadona As sushi has risen in popularity over the past few years, it looks as though Mercadona is the next outlet to make stocking this rice and raw fish cuisine a more prominent part of their business.

A police officer, based in Torrevieja, has successfully sued the town council for €48,000 due to workplace bullying. The amount the town hall must pay will increase to €60,000 when interest on this sum is also taken into account. Continued on page 6

Briton arrested for sexual abuse A former British professor has been detained for child sexual abuse that took place in the UK. The 74 year old man was arrested in Pego, Alicante, in virtue of a ‘European Arrest and Eviction Warrant’ as the presumed author on several counts of child sexual abuse against four victims during school time. According to the National Police, the attacks occurred in the 1980’s in the United Kingdom, when the man now in custody was a professor of a college in Maidenhead. His victims were two girl pupils, which were supposedly attacked in his office when they were aged just 13 and 16 years old. He now faces more than 40 years in prison.

then gave police enough evidence to charge him with the crime. It transpired that his girlfriend had lost her job at the very same Telepizza branch just days before. The circumstances of the woman’s departure are not known. There is no knowledge of whether the woman was made redundant, if she had a temporary contract which was not renewed, or if she was sacked and what the reasons for this may have been. Furious at the way the company has treated his girlfriend the man decided to take revenge on the company and the specific pizza parlour she had worked at. Telepizza has around 1,000 outlets worldwide with 603 stores in Spain. A further 422 international stores are also found in countries such as Portugal, Peru, Chile, Poland, Central America and United Arab Emirates. Telepizza is reported to be valued at 550 million euros.

include some supermarkets in the Alicante region. Sushi can already be bought in Carrefour, Consum and Lidl and new stalls in Zenia Boulevard offer sushi as a snack. Four Mercadona supermarkets have already started stocking the Japanese food, three of these being in Valencia. The initiative will be rolled out to 12 more at the end of the month and we can expect

three to be in Alicante. The Norwegian firm, Leroy Processing Spain, will be providing the sushi in 17 shops. In the remaining three the provider will be Caladero from Tabernes Blanques, who specialise in tuna. Leroy Processing has been supplying the pre-packaged dishfrom Norway, using a processing plant in Madrid. However, as the business grows there may be an increase in the number of plants based in Spain. Sources from the supermarket say that sushi is proving to be very popular with clients who have appreciated the quality of the product and the variety on offer. In some stores a small amount of sushi has already been available but now we can expect to see much more. The agreement between Leroy Processing and Mercadona is an exclusive one and there are no plans to establish other outlets at this point. As yet we have no information about exactly which of Mercadona’s stores will be stocking sushi in the Alicante region. With over 100 supermarkets to choose from, local sushi lovers shouldn’t be too optimistic just yet. Suzanne O’Connell

Improvements planned to sewage plant Finally it looks as though the tanks at Torrevieja’s sewage plant could be covered over. The smell from the plant has been an issue for many years for people locally and has been particularly bad during the summer months. Now EPSAR, who are responsible for the plant, has agreed to cover the tanks over before the next summer season. It is expected that work will begin

early in 2017 and should take around four months to complete. The mayor, José Manuel Dolón considers the failure to have the tanks covered as a surprising one given the size of the area they serve. Torrevieja is the only town in the Valencian community that does not have these covered. The mayor is pleased that the new director of EPSAR has agreed to correct the problem. However, there are still

issues to be addressed in the campaign to make Torrevieja a sweeter smelling town. The lorries which transfer waste also emit a smell and adjustments to them could remove this additional source of odours. The lorries are the responsibility of Agamed, the water company and the mayor hopes that progress can be made on this issue too. Suzanne O’Connell

Alicante has the highest illegal workforce According to the annual report for 2015; ‘Inspección de Trabajo y Seguridad Social’ Alicante is the province with the highest number of irregular workers in the whole of the country. Last year the Government identified 2,789 irregular practices during a total of 13,458 inspections, the highest percentage in Spain. The majority of the infractions were workers who were not registered with social security. They were being paid in cash and without a proper contract. Altogether there were 1,747 of this type of anomaly and government investigations led to 3,517 employees being registered. The employment minister indicates that there were also 999 cases where people or business received benefits fraudulently. Unemployment benefit was being claimed in the majority of cases and as a result of investigations 545 claims were annulled. The contrast is particularly evident with the city of Valencia. Here there were 31,540 inspections but only 2,266 infractions. A number that is less than those detected in Alicante. Altogether it is believed that the financial loss from the irregularities amounted to some 12.08 million euros. Some of these cases were uncovered as a result of whistleblowing to the government’s website. The inspectors receive the complaint and then make a decision whether to investigate it further. In 2015 there were 135,210 citizen reports made and 72,565 of these were selected for further investigation with 16,222 inspections being completed. Suzanne O’Connell

BITE SIZE NEWS: Continued from page 5 The incidents of bullying and harassment had been taking place since 2004 and led to the victim suffering physical and psychological problems. Speaking for the town council, the mayor, José Manuel Dolón condemned the behaviour that led to this complaint and accused those in government at the time of turning a blind eye to what was going on.

Please protect our coves Torrevieja council has made a plea to the Valencian government to include Torrevieja’s coves in its protection plan for the coast or Plan de Protección del Litoral. Although the Cala Ferrís has been included, almost two kilometres of coastline has not. Torrevieja would like to see all their coves from Cabo Cervera, north of Los Locos beach, up two kilometres of coast, protected and not open to building. These areas include some stunning landscape and are home to important flora too. The council would like to see the majority of the coves come into the category of nondevelopment protected land. The coves contain medium to low cliffs and have generally not been developed. Some do contain small clusters of housing and councillors are aware that there have been attempts by private owners to fence off sections of land with a view to development. Suzanne O’Connell

Tragic death of pensioner without electricity An 81 year old woman died on Monday 14th November in a fire at her home in Reus. The cause of the fire is thought to be a lighted candle on a mattress in the room where she slept. For two months the woman had been lighting candles in her home as her electricity had been cut off. The woman shared the flat with an elderly granddaughter who wasn’t at home on this day. The family had appliedto social services in Reus because of the vulnerability of the woman. She had asked for help from the town hall and they had agreed to provide assistance with the water bill but she had not asked for help withher electricity supply. It is also reported that the owner of the flat was threatening to evict the woman due to non payment of rent. The fire brigade was notified by a neighbour when he saw smoke coming from the flat. The fire was under control in half an hour although there was some smoke damage to neighbouring apartments. The emergency services were unable to help the woman, who in an attempt to escape, had fallen onto the floor. The exact cause of the fire continues to be investigated. After initially being evacuated,the occupants of other properties in the apartment block were allowed to return. A 43year-old man and a minor needed slight medical attention but have since been discharged and there has been no long-term structural damage to the building.

However, the case has received much publicity because of the background to the accident. The woman’s flat was close to the town centre and fashionable shops and cafes. However, the homes above these establishments are much more modest and the victim was not well-known in the area. The victim would have qualified for assistance with the payment of her electricity bill but did not ask. Last year, Reus was asked by 715 families to pay for electricity and another 182 to pay for gas. It is often easier for town councils to intervene when there are problems with water supply because this is usually run by a municipal company. It is not unusual for a family’s electricity to be cut off and many foreigners have been surprised at the speed with which a supply can be stopped due to just one or two missed payments. The electricity company will not make any effort to find out the reason for non-payment. If a bill isn’t paid they will issue one reminder in which they will indicate a date on which you will be disconnected if the arrears are not met. Once your supply is disconnected if the bill continues to remain unpaid they may come and remove your meter. It is then costly to reconnect. You will have to apply for a new contract before receiving a new meter which means added expense for anyone who does scrape together the cost of an unpaid bill. Suzanne O’Connell

New rehab unit for San Miguel The Health Centre in San Miguel de Salinas, which comes under the Torrevieja Health Department (area 22), has opened the doors on its new state-ofthe-art Rehabilitation Unit. The objective of the new facility is to provide the residents of the municipality, and nearby towns such as Los Montesinos, Entrenaranjos and Torremendo, the care they need a bit closer to home and reduce the need to travel to a local hospital. The unit has a physiotherapy service and a

rehabilitation doctor's surgery, both supported by the latest technology with low frequency electrotherapy kits, ultrasound and magnetic therapy capabilities. It has several treatment areas including traumatology, pre- and post-surgery areas and space dedicated to neurology and a back pain. The new centre is able and equipped to receive up to 25 patients per day, with an average of 3 or 4 per hour, depending of course on the amount of time required for each patient’s individual therapy.

British woman in Benidorm death plunge

UK firms plan to reduce investment in Spain

A young British woman has died after falling nine floors from an apartment building in Benidorm. The 21 year old, was on holiday with her boyfriend and family and first investigations indicate a tragic accident. The couple had been out partying and returned to their apartment drunk. It happened in the early hours of last weekend as Benidorm was celebrating their patron saint when the victim, identified only as D.J.H. lost her life after falling a considerable distance, whilst with her 23 year old boyfriend. The National Police has opened an investigation but as yet see no other motive than a tragic accident, according to police sources. The tragedy happened at 2am in the Bermudas apartments, in Stockholm Avenue in the tourist capital of the Costa Blanca. After the night of partying the couple returned to their room, both apparently drunk. The girl was on the balcony when a family member knocked on their door. The boy went to open it and then it seems the victim fell from the balcony which had a low iron railing, she is believed to have fallen while leaning on it. The woman landed on a small roof on the first floor, and died minutes later from multiple injuries. The fall is believed to have been more than 25 metres into a car parking area by Calle Londres. National and local police agents with paramedic support arrived shortly after, but could only confirm her death.

‘Wife After Death’ by A.C.T.S. This was the second offering from this talented and professional group (Actors Community Theatre Society) formed by Tony and Angela Godard to provide ‘a professional drama company in the area’. Their first production, Mark Camoletti’s ‘Don’t Dress for Dinner’ performed at the Cultural centre in Benijofar earlier this year was extremely well received. On this occasion A.C.T.S. had chosen ‘Wife After Death’ by Eric Chappell. It was also staged in Benijofar on three nights recently with a donation being made to the Benijofar Crisis Appeal. The play was directed by Sue Stabler and Albert Stokes. Eric Chapple was a prolific BAFTA winning writer creating plays and scripts for both the theatre and television. He is perhaps best known to most of us as the author of the award winning television series ‘Rising Damp’, starring Leonard Rossiter, Francis de la Tour and Paul Jones. ‘Wife After Death’ is one of those plays with what appears to be a very simple and straightforward idea. Comedian and ‘national treasure’ Dave Thursby has died and his friends and former colleagues are gathered together with his wife in his home to

pay their respects. It all sounds rather dull and predictable, however all is not what it seems. Appearances can be deceptive and as the play progresses the relationships the characters had with Dave are exposed and his true feelings for them (which were not very pleasant) are revealed. All of this is added to and to some extent catalysed by the arrival at the funeral of a mysterious lady. She turns out to be, not just a former wife of Dave Thursby, but the only legal wife as their marriage was never officially ended. The play opens with Harvey (Dave’s scriptwriter) played by Ian Vallender talking with his wife, Vi played by Michelle Edwards and reflecting on his relationship with Dave. Harvey sees himself as Dave’s best friend and close confidant. Little does he know his wife was having an affair with his supposedly best pal.It is also revealed to him that far from being his friend Dave didn’t like Harvey at

all and was about to drop him as his scriptwriter. We are then introduced to Dave’s manager, Kevin, played by Keith Woznica and Dave’s wife Jane played by Lesley Luker. Kevin like Harvey is a man with an exaggerated sense of his own importance believing he was responsible for Dave’s success, fame and fortune. Unfortunately it appears that Dave also had no time for Kevin and was about to fire him as his manager. To make matters worse Kevin’s wife Jane was also having an affair with Dave. As the curtain comes down at the end of the first act Harvey is heard to say ‘do we ever truly know anything about anyone’. In contrast Dave’s wife Laura played by Robin Smith, appears to be unaffected by her husband’sbad behaviourbut the arrival of Kay played by Eileen Hamilton puts an end to that. Kay reveals that she is

Dave’s legal wife and his marriage to Laura was bigamous. She describes Dave’s early career and his ruthless self-seeking ambition; a severe contrast to the charitable works and well-loved stature of his later life. With relatively few actors and long wordy dialogue this is not an easy play to pull off.Described as a comedy there are indeed many funny moments in a beautifully crafted script. Many of them though are bittersweet and certainly make the audience reflect on what constitutes the true nature of relationships and how well we know our friends and acquaintances.There were very good performances from all the cast who were also well balanced acting together and produced highly believable characters . We must not forget either all those working behind the scenes and front of house. The set was wonderfully executed and lit and as usual with this group the front of house management was warm and efficient. Once again all credit to A.C.T.S. for putting on another first class production which was clearly enjoyed by the packed audiences. Make sure you look out for their next production anticipated in the spring of next year. Paul Mutter

Sicilian Cosa Nostra, the Ndrangheta from Calabria, the Neapolitan Camorra, and the Sacra Corona Unita, from Puglia have all established a strong presence in Spain. Between 1999 and 2009, a third of all arrests of mafia members took place in Spain. Italian mafias also benefited from Spain’s construction boom: the Italian authorities calculate that it developed the equivalent of some 50 kilometers of Spanish coastline.

Home of crime Following in the footsteps of the Italians, as Spain became an important logistics and distribution point for drugs shipments into the rest of Europe and an easy place to launder money; Turkish criminal gangs moved into the country during the 1980s, supplying drugs and weapons. They were soon followed by the Colombian drug cartels, with Spain becoming the main entry point for cocaine into Europe. Since then, say police, the cartels have managed to find other countries in Europe through which to ship drugs. In recent years, Irish criminal gangs have also begun operating from Spain’s Costa del Sol, shipping weapons and drugs throughout Europe. Rob Wainwright, the director of Europol, describes organised crime as a “multi-million dollar business in Europe and that is growing thanks to the internet and mobile technologies, the proliferation of clandestine global routes and the opportunities that the global economic crisis offers. All this has contributed to the creation of a greater threat.” Spain also faces a threat from the Colombian peace process, say some experts. “There are between 8,000 and 12,000 former guerrillas who will have no work if the peace process goes ahead,” says one expert. Others point to the growing presence in Spain of members of the Mexican cartels, which are increasing their shipments into this country.

Finding out about the Fartet On Thursday 10th November the natural park volunteers were asked if they would like to take part in the release of a number of Fartet (toothcarp) fish that have been bred in the visitors’ centre. This species of fish is in danger of extinction and it is hoped that the introduction of the fish into the Laguna at Torrevieja will help their long term chance of survival. Those taking part met at 10.30am at the information centre in Parque la Mata where a short explanation of the project was given and the group then set off to the Rambla La Fayona where the release was to take place. Crystal East, a park volunteer, was impressed by the combination of talk and action. Not only was the event about informing people of the Fartet’s predicament but also raising awareness of what is being done to halt the gradual disappearance of this little fish. ‘It was excellent,’ explains Crystal. ‘After a fascinating presentation about the Fartet and the problems they face we were taken to the Rambla de Fayona which is where the sea goes into the salt lake. This is on private land so we were very privileged to be there.’ The water was tested for salinity before the fish could be introduced. After the saline was reduced, the ten volunteers were each given a bag into which they put one of the Fartets. ‘These were then placed one by one into the Rambla,’ says Crystal. ‘We hope that they will now breed and produce many more.’

The park is very much about regeneration and education. One of the current schemes includes cutting down some overlapping trees to enable regeneration to take place. The volunteers have been making new signs to restrict

Britons arrested for posting drugs to the UK The Guardia Civil has broken up a criminal organisation located in Bullas, Murcia, dedicated to the cultivation of cannabis and hashish in its many derivatives, and sending the adulterated drugs abroad by international post. The operation was codenamed ‘Magic’ and four people have been taken into custody, three men and one woman all of British nationality and aged between 25 and 50 and the agents have impounded large amounts of both cannabis and hashish. The first investigation led to two suspects - a British couple who lived in a rural property on the outskirts of Bullas - who appeared to be regularly posting suspicious packages without a return address. The number of posted packages which have been sent totals at least twenty, since the operation began, all of which were blocked by the Guardia Civil. When opened under judicial order, officers discovered diverse amounts of cannabis and its various derivatives. As the investigation advanced, two more people were identified, again both British, and presumably linked to this illicit practice. This pair was also specialists in the cultivation, production and manipulation of drugs. Once enough evidence had been collected, and prior to judicial authorisation, in collaboration with the Bullas Local Police, a search was carried out of the property in question. They discovered two greenhouses with indoor plantations of marihuana, a plant dryer, four kilos of marihuana buds, 1,644 grams of hashish resin, several cigarette packs containing doses of 30 grams of hashish, several doses of LSD and other items and tools used for their criminal actions and for preparing the cannabis derivatives. The search ended with the detention of the suspects, believed to form one gang, who were

placed under judicial disposition as presumed authors of a crime against public health through drug preparation and trafficking. The drugs confiscated and the items and tools seized have been placed at the diligences of Instruction Court 2 in Mula. Those now in custody has rearranged the property into different areas for each particular task; areas for the cultivation of the marihuana, another used as a laboratory for the manipulating and transforming wild cannabis and derivative substances - hashish, oils, capsules, buds and resins and other areas dedicated to the preparing of the amounts and packing. The investigation noted that the gang was selling its marihuana derivatives over the internet.

Quest The ‘Magic’ operation is the third investigation which the Guardia Civil have undertaken in the same town during recent months in their quest to prevent and pursue drug trafficking. Last August an earlier investigation ended with three arrests from a criminal group responsible for the ownership of a plantation of wild cannabis. In that search officers found 328 plants in distinct sizes of growth, 2.5 kilos of buds, several seeds to grow new plants and numerous elements inside the greenhouses. At the end of September, with the collaboration of the Bullas Local Police, the Guardia Civil ended operation ‘Trebolillo’ with the dismantling of a greenhouse dedicated to the illicit cultivation of marihuana installed in a home in Bullas. During their search and entry the police officers detained two suspects for crimes against public health, defrauding electricity and possession of items for the indoor growing of drugs.

WEEKLY EURO UPDATE Last week ended on an average note for the euro, it was unchanged against the other dozen most actively-traded currencies. Over the last month the strongest performer had been sterling and by a good margin. Investors had taken a shine to the British pound, in the last week sterling gained an average 3.4% against the other dozen most actively-traded currencies. Then came the reality check. After a month of initially slow, then rapid upward progress the pound came to a halt on Monday as investors paused for yet another reassessment of what President Trump will mean for the global economy. Sterling was the weakest performer among the major currencies, though only by a whisker. Through to midweek and the pound trod water, rather more successfully than it had on Monday when its head was mostly below water. It was just about unchanged against the euro and the US, Australian and New Zealand dollars. UK inflation data showed consumer price index inflation slowing to 0.9%, it had been expected to rise to 1.1%. The lack of reaction was attributable to the Bank of England's pledge to decouple interest rates from inflation for the time being. Nor did the pound react to Governor Mark Carney's comments to the

Treasury Committee. He stuck to his policy guns, saying that to blame the bank for economic equality is a "massive blame-deflection exercise". Since the US election last Tuesday the dollar is the only major currency to have kept pace with sterling. In the last seven days it was the strongest performer, picking up one and three quarter cents against the pound and three and a quarter cents against the euro, where it touched a 12-month high. Barack Obama, on his farewell tour, visited Athens where he spoke of the need for Greece's creditors to relieve some of the country's debt. The following day he was in Berlin, perhaps to make the same suggestion to Angela Merkel. It was a reminder that Greece’s debt perma-crisis has not gone away: it has simply been overshadowed by the more immediate issues of Brexit and the US election. The Euroland economic data were not of much help to the euro either. Industrial production was down in September. Gross domestic product expanded only by a provisional 0.3% in the third quarter. Inflation remained stuck at 0.5%. Investors' lack of enthusiasm for the euro allowed it to fall to a 12-month low against the US dollar with a weekly loss of three and a quarter cents. It did slightly less badly against sterling, losing two cents.

Barcelona presses on with local currency Barcelona City Hall has announced it is to press ahead with a pilot scheme to roll out a cashless local currency over the course of 2017 and 2018 in the working class Besòs district in the northeast of the city. The idea is for the currency to become legal tender in 2019. The Bank of Spain has warned against the initiative, which was first mooted by Mayor Ada Colau (right) after she won local elections in May 2015, describing it as “informal, with no legal framework, or regulator or adequate supervision.” Colau, who made her name campaigning against mortgage foreclosures and home seizures, heads a left-leaning coalition. The idea is for local stores and residents to be able to exchange euros for this new currency, and use it to purchase products and services at a discount or with other kinds of advantages. Municipal workers may also receive part of their salary in the new money. The exchange rate would be one-to-one. “This is a medium-term project, the details of which are still to be completed, it’s a work in progress,” said Jordi Via, Barcelona City Hall’s commissioner for Social and Cooperative Economy. There are numerous precedents, both in Spain and elsewhere: the Bristol pound in Britain, the Chiemgauer in the German region of Bavaria, the solviolette in the French city of Toulouse, the ekhi in Bilbao, the res in Girona, and the puma in Seville. Barcelona City Hall has not said whether the new currency will be digital or physical, what it will be called, or how businesses that want to use it can sign up to the scheme, simply that the idea is to help keep the wealth generated locally in the city. The scheme will be part of a €24-million initiative to introduce a minimum wage in the city using €4.8 million from EU funds, says Barcelona City Hall, which

is also considering tying the currency into the creation of an energy utility whereby money saved from lower energy costs would be pumped back into the community in the form of a local currency to be spent in businesses in the area. Colau’s administration will likely have to put next year’s budget to a vote of confidence. If it is unable to get them approved before year’s end, then the opposition will have a month to put together an

alternative administration to run City Hall. If it fails to do so, then the budget will be approved automatically. It seems unlikely that the opposition, made up of the conservative Popular Party (PP), the Catalan Republican Left (ERC) and the center-right Convergence and Union (CiU), along with emerging group Ciudadanos, will be able to work together. The proposals will be put to the vote today, Tuesday. CiU, ERC and the PP, with 18 votes, have said they will vote against the proposals; Colau and her supporters have 16 votes. Ciudadanos has five seats and the left-wing pro-independence Popular United Candidacy (CUP) has three.

Sometimes plants of great beauty are so common we tend to take them for granted. I think that is the case with the winter flowering heathers Ericas - that we see in bloom everywhere at the moment. Winter heath is a dwarf evergreen that blooms for 3-4 months in the winter and early spring. It is fabulous because it brings lots of flower colour to otherwise dull winter months when everything else is dormant or gone. Winter heath is as charming close up as it is at a distance. Take a look at those masses of small, bell-shaped flowers and then step back and appreciate the overall look of a plant that is very well suited for our local growing conditions. Winter heathers are some of the easiest heathers to grow and thrive in almost any soil. Choose a place in full sun with room to spread and good drainage. Without good drainage, heaths will perish quickly. Healthy heaths, once established, require very little supplemental watering in the summer. And they prefer poor soil - do not feed them much, if at all. Let their performance be your guide. They are also quite salt tolerant and have few pests or diseases. Winter flowering types (in common Spanish often called Brezo vizcaíno) are mainly cultivars of Erica carnea or Erica x darleyensis. They are quite tough as plants go - in fact, “Erica” derives from a Greek word meaning “to break” and one explanation is that an infusion made

from Erica leaves was effective at breaking up kidney stones. But another story is that the roots of Erica have been known to break rocks where they grow. The species name carnea tells us the flowers are red and in the firstnamed E. carnea, native to the Alps, the flowers were red and the foliage was deep green. Today, cultivars offer flower colours from deep red to pink to white, and foliage ranges from blue-green to yellow, bronze and silver. Growth habit is typically mounding and when spaced properly, they will form a carpet for a good ground cover. They are also excellent for rock gardens, borders, slopes and drifts. And some varieties have sparse, weeping branches just right for spilling over the top of a wall. There are more than 200 cultivars of winter heath, with bloom times ranging from October to March. Established plants need little care, but all types should be pruned immediately after flowering. A hard shearing when their blossoms fade will help the evergreen foliage stay compact and bushy and set the stage for more pretty flowers to emerge next winter. Leave heath unsheared and it will brown up, turn twiggy, and lose its good looks. Shear it annually, right after bloom, and it will flourish and stay attractive for a decade or so.

Some might associate E. carnea with the British Isles, but the plant famously abundant there is Calluna vulgaris. Although of the same family, it is a different genus. Erica carnea is native to central and southern Europe where a plant explorer found it and brought it to England in 1763. In the 1920s a lady from Scotland collected cuttings of an Erica carnea she found on a stroll through the Italian Alps. She cultivated them at her home. Today, E. carnea ‘Springwood’ - named

for her home - remains one of the most popular and widely grown heaths in the world. It has lately been joined in the top ten by ‘Springwood Pink.’ Both varieties produce a very heavy crop of flowers that hang on for months through the winter and into the spring. There are plenty of other choices available now so go ahead and add some easycare, year-round beauty to your own home garden. Marc Vijverberg

All you need to know about Alzheimer’s Alzheimer’s disease and other types of dementia have replaced heart disease as the leading cause of death in England and Wales for the first time. According to the Office for National Statistics (ONS), more than 61,000 people died of dementia last year – which accounted for 11.6 percent of all recorded deaths. According to the experts, an increase in life expectancy coupled with a decrease in the number of people suffering from heart problems is to blame for the change. Additionally, it is thought that doctors have got better at diagnosing dementia, with the disease being given more weight on death certificates. Dementia is one of the biggest, NHS and social care challenges facing us at the moment. The UK population is growing and we are living longer: these factors are very likely to increase the number of people being diagnosed with dementia because the biggest risk factor for dementia is increasing age. In addition, we are leading healthier lives and screening and early treatment for diseases such as cancer and heart disease have advanced. There is no cure for dementia, but there is hope with new research and development of medications designed to slow down the progression of Alzheimer's and ideally halt the symptoms.

Who is affected? Most dementia deaths were recorded amongst women – for whom the disease is the leading cause of death – responsible for 15.2 percent of all deaths in 2015, up from 13.4 percent in 2014. In men, heart disease remains the leading cause of death, accounting for 14.3 percent of deaths. Despite what many people might think, dementia is not a natural part of ageing. It is the term used to describe different brain disorders that trigger a loss of brain function. However, it is most common in the elder generation, and is thought to affect roughly one in six people over the age of 80.

There is no way of telling whether a person will develop dementia or not. While some people are more at risk than others (for example, a typical 80year-old woman is much more likely to develop dementia in the next five years than a typical 30year-old woman), the disease cannot be tracked to a single cause.

Dementia and death Dementia is a progressive disease, which means it gets worse over time. It's important to remember that dementia doesn't just cause memory loss – it actively damages the brain which, in turn, is in charge of our entire system; from our heart to our lungs to our digestion, meaning that dementia can reach far beyond the brain, affecting our whole bodies. It is this that can eventually cause death for the sufferer. This means that, as our cognitive abilities start to decline, so does our ability to stay healthy and well. Eventually, the disease will affect the brain so much that it will be unable to control other areas of the body and they will start to shut down. Many people who are afflicted by the disease are likely to die from medical complications associated with having dementia, including infections and pneumonia. Eating a healthy diet, exercising the mind and body, having regular health checks and maintaining a healthy BMI are all actions believed to help in reducing risk for dementia. Although it is a terminal disease, the gradual nature of dementia means its subsequent effects on life expectancy will depend on various factors including the type of dementia, overall health and lifestyle.

What else are the experts saying? The recent research shows that the mortality rate for dementia, which was the second leading cause of death for the previous four years, has more than doubled since 2010. This has led to urgent calls for

increased research and advances in treatments. These figures once again call attention to the uncomfortable reality that currently, no-one survives a diagnosis of dementia. Dementia is not an inevitable part of ageing, it's caused by diseases that can be fought through research, and we must bring all our efforts to bear on what is now our greatest medical challenge. It is essential that people have access to the right support and services to help them live well with dementia and that research into better care, treatments and eventually a cure remain high on the agenda.

Reading the signs Agitation and mood swings: It's common for someone suffering from AD to seem anxious or agitated. They may constantly move around and pace, get upset in certain places, or become fixated on specific details. Agitation usually results from fear, confusion, fatigue, and feeling overwhelmed from trying to make sense of a world that no longer makes sense.Certain circumstances can also make the individual more anxious, such as relocating to a nursing home. In addition to agitation, rapid and seemingly unprovoked mood swings are another sign of dementia--going from calm to tearful to angry for no apparent reason. Impaired judgment: A person with AD will begin to make decisions that seem silly, irresponsible, or even inappropriate and are a marked departure from past behaviour, such as dressing improperly for the weather or no longer being able to assess for themselves what is safe. The earliest changes in judgement usually involve money. So people who were normally very cautious with their finances will start spending in unusual ways, like giving money to unworthy strangers like telemarketers, or withholding money they should pay, because they incorrectly believe their utility company is suddenly untrustworthy. Difficulty with familiar tasks: A person

suffering from dementia often takes longer to complete, and may have trouble finishing, everyday tasks that he or she has done hundreds of times before. For instance, a former whiz in the kitchen may have a problem making his or her signature dish or even remembering how to boil water. Common activities like remembering how to get to a familiar location, play a favourite game, or manage a budget may also prove difficult. Confusion with time or place: Disorientation as to time and place, such as forgetting where you live, getting easily lost, and losing track of dates, seasons, and the passage of time is a common experience for individuals with AD. Five minutes can seem like five hours for someone with AD, so a husband may think his wife has been gone for hours or even weeks, even if it's just been a few minutes, or he might tell his grandchild that he hasn't seen them in five years, even though he just saw them yesterday. Difficulty communicating: As dementia

progresses, a person’s language and communication skills diminish. He or she may stop mid-conversation and not know how to continue. Vocabulary can be especially troublesome. A person may struggle to find the right word; call things by the wrong names; substitute unusual or incorrect words for familiar words and names; invent new words; or use familiar words over and over again. Wandering: Unfortunately, about 60 percent of people with dementia have a tendency to walk off, wander aimlessly, and become lost, often repeatedly. Restlessness, fear, confusion related to time, the inability to recognise familiar people, places, and objects, as well as stress can all cause wandering. In some cases, the person might leave the house in the middle of the night to fulfil a physical need, such as finding a toilet or food, or he may be attempting to ‘go home’ because he doesn't realise he is home or he believes it's 20 years earlier and he needs to go to a former job.

Bruno Mars comes to Spain ‘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

Introducing corporal punishment... for teachers! Gay Byrne used sum up many a bazaar news story with the words, "The lunatics are running the asylum." Gay's words came back to me last week, when the airwaves were chocked with coverage of a classroom incident, where a 16 years old student inflicted a serious assault on his teacher. The teacher in question lost a couple of teeth, had his nose broken and sustained serious bruising. An outrageous assault by any measure – but hold on a minute, folks; there are two sides to every story! Assaults of a criminal nature unfortunately do occur in our society and when the culprit is caught, is he expected to be dealt with and punished? Our justice system is based on the notion (a) did he know what he was doing wrong? And (b) that if he were caught he would be punished. Simple and straight forward enough you might think? Not so, any more I'm afraid and I think you should be afraid also. You see, dear readers, this teenage assailant was "provoked" by his teacher and our national airwaves get clogged making this case for the young man. It would appear that the insensitive teacher chastised his student for taking mobile phone pictures in class. Of course the school must also take some of the blame for introducing this silly rule in the first place. The rebuke, quite naturally, upset our young bucko, who left his seat and proceeded to take a picture of the teacher's face at close range. Actually this could be useful should plastic surgery be required. Allegedly (just in case the teacher is sued!) Mr. Gavin tried to take the phone off the athletic young man – proving our point that; "the teacher was looking for it." The embarrassed student was left with no other option but to batter him senseless. This is the natural progression when children, from toddlers up, never hear the word "no" and are allowed to do as they wish, at home, at school, in

church, restaurants, supermarkets, and aeroplanes. It was only a matter of time before there was a serious incident, when a sixteen year old met the 'no word' and it will get worse. How long will it be before the first gun is brought to school? I hasten to add what we all know, that all children are not reared like this. Last Sunday, in front of me, at mass, a father indulged two children to shout and climb all over and under the woman beside him, who continued trying to say her prayers. On the outside of the same seat was a Mother, whose child of a similar age, sat quietly throughout the service. But back to the assault on the Clondalkin teacher: Remember I told you there are two sides to this story!! The thug is really a nice guy at heart – who only wants to play football. His Mother said so, when she phoned up Derek Davis, to give her son's side of the story. Davis, with his gut-wrenching, sugary, patronizing tone, teased out all the issues with Mammy. "Stephen is a good boy and he was never disruptive in class", she led with. Now I don't know about you, but I think that beating the sh*t out of your teacher, in front of the class, could be termed sort of disruptive – like? "It was both their fault", said Mammy generously conceding that it might not be 100% the teacher's fault! As the nation's appetite went down the Sewanee (apart from the aforementioned lunatics) a neighbour of Mammy and Stephen rang up to second Stephen for the young pillar of community award. "He only knocks around with the lads he plays football with and there are two sides to this", went on the impartial observer. Jesus, I wouldn't like to referee Stephen's match, I thought to myself at this stage. Ah, but Derek had more! On the line was somebody from the teacher's union. Good, I thought:

now at last, somebody will call a spade a spade and mention the difference between right and wrong. Not a chance – the only wrong was how wrong I was to even contemplate such a thought. In this age of everyone's rights taking precedence over what is right and political correctness gone mad, the teacher's mouthpiece's first words were concern for the student. God, I don't believe what I'm hearing and my sandwich has stopped in a lay by. Then Stephen's Mammy, who is still on the line and in a rush of charitable humility and forgiveness for the provocation, announces to the people of Ireland that Stephen regrets beating up the teacher. At this, the union guy starts to ooh and aah about this positive turn of events. As my sandwich starts the second leg of its return trip, I can take no more and use excessive pressure on the radio 'off' switch. Until parents bring back the 'no' word to the English language, there will be more Stephen stories. The only reason children behave badly is because they are exploring the world and learning where the boundaries are. For too many children, their parents have removed all boundaries and they are confused. The first signs will be found in kindergarten and there will be markers all along the way until he is big enough to clock his teacher – but only if he is provoked, you must understand! Then some Mammy will complain to Derek about how heavyhanded the Gardai are. "He is a good lad, Derek, but he got in with the wrong crowd." Correct and right – he was with the wrong crowd, at home!

Anyone old enough to commit a man's crime is old enough to take a man's punishment.

Tickets are now on sale for Bruno Mars' concerts in Spain next April as part of his 24K Magic world tour. The Puerto RicanPhilippine artist, who grew up in the USA, is a huge international music chart figure thanks to his catchy hits, Locked out of heaven, The lazy song and Uptown funk, and his more soulful, introspective numbers, Grenade, When I was your man and Just the way you are. Bruno will perform at 85 gigs across the planet, and his European leg will start on 28th March in Amberes, Belgium then Lille, northern France, on 29th March. His third show will be on 3rd April in Madrid's Barclaycard Centre, formerly known as the regional sports arena. The artist will be back in Spain on 7th April at Barcelona's Palau Sant Jordi, having popped into Portugal for a concert on 4th April at Lisbon's MEO Arena. Fans who miss him in Spain can catch Mars at the O2 Arena in London, where he will be on stage for two nights rather than just one as in

Madrid and Barcelona. His final show in Europe is on June 15 in the Milan Forum in the northern Italian city. Meanwhile, his new album, carrying the same title as the concert, will be on sale from this coming Friday. Those who order the album online may be able to book their tickets before the box office officially opens, on Monday, 21st November. Born on 8th October, 1985, Marz was born Peter Gene Hernandez and as Bruno Marz is a an American singersongwriter, multi-instrumentalist, record producer, and choreographer. He was born and raised in Honolulu, Hawaii, by a family of musicians. Mars began making music at a young age and performed in various musical venues in his hometown throughout his childhood. He graduated from high school and moved to Los Angeles to pursue a musical career. After being dropped by Motown Records, he signed with Atlantic Records in 2009.

More joint working from HELP Vega Baja Following on from the recent announcement that Help Vega Baja and the Orihuela Costa AECC office will working together for the benefit of the local community, Help has now announced a similar joint working initiative with the Parkinson Group in El Raso. Being diagnosed with Parkinsons can be life changing for many people and when you are living away from family in particular it can be very daunting. The benefit of having a support group is therefore very important and can make a huge difference to someone. After receiving several enquiries, HELP Vega Baja was keen to help people in the area who have Parkinsons and other neurological conditions and were delighted to discover that there had been a group meeting for some time in El Raso. A meeting was set up with the President of HELP, the charity Welfare Officer and the co-ordinator of the group, Donna Gee. Michele Masson, President of HELP said: “We were absolutely delighted to meet up with

Donna and members of the group and spent an afternoon together talking about how the charity could support them. It was obvious from our meeting

that the group really enjoys getting together and as a charity we don´t want to interfere and change something that is obviously working very well. However, Donna and the members have asked to come under the umbrella of HELP which we are very pleased about and we will do what we can to support them in any way they need.

“Our first task was to introduce the group to Pedro Dominguez Crego from the Cruz Roja who is going to meet with them to discuss their Teleassistancia service and we will organise other guest speakers when the group feel they would like someone along. I have to say it was an absolute privilege to meet everyone last week and to see that despite the challenges they have day by day, they get on with life and enjoy every minute. Everyone at HELP Vega Baja is very excited about this new venture and we very much look forward to supporting this wonderful group of people.” The Parkinson Support and Friendship Group meets every Friday at 2.00 pm in AJ’s bar in El Raso where bar owners Joanne and Antony help with fundraising events and generally ensure that everyone feels very welcome. If you would like more information about the group, please contact either HELP San Miguel Centre on 966 723 733, email office@helpvegabaja.com or Donna Gee direct on 602 446 575 or by email at donna773@aol.com.

Two Britons arrested for blowing up cash machines The two Britons have been detained for their presumed implication in blowing up 13 cash dispensing machines with explosives. The original attacks all took place in Andalucia but it is believed the duo was planning to roll out the attacks across the Costa Blanca. Both were surprised and detained in a 4am raid last Wednesday in a house in Calahonda, Cla de Mijas, with sufficient evidence to implicate them in the robberies which have been carried out over recent months. The attacks had baffled both the Civil Guard and the National Police whose officers were horrified when the entered the property and saw gas cylinders, electric cabling and other burglary tools, and then discovered several weapons of war. The hand grenades are now being analysed to determine their providence and possible usage. The house was also full of money, so much money that officers said they had never seen so much money anywhere

before. It is believed that the4 cash was being spent carrying out criminal actions as part of a larger organisation, given also that officers seized diverse amounts of cocaine and marihuana. After further investigations officers now believe that the two Britons arrested are the leaders of the gang and therefore responsible for planning all of the organisations activities. Two others arrested in different but related operations are both Spanish, one is accused of supplying the acetylene gas to the British criminals and the other was used as a gobetween. Following a fifth arrest a woman is now also being held under investigation. Police officers from Marbella, Estepona, Coín, Ronda and even Granada – seven National Police and seven Civil Guard – were used to uncover this criminal gang which had carried out a spate of attacks on cash dispensing machines. The crimes caused confusion because they often used

differing explosive substances, raising the question as to whether this was one more than one gang. When targeting Unicaja banks the duo normally injected acetylene and then ignited it, for Banco Santander they used much more advanced and far more powerful explosive, which could only be manipulated by an explosives expert. Given these two differing modus operandi the detectives thought two gangs were at work or one had started and another was a copycat, a theory which has not yet been ruled out. The first three attacks were against Banco Santander and took place last summer over some twenty days. Two, the one in Málaga city and one in La Cala del Moral, were linked by the same explosives used, as were the attacks in Marbella and, Mijas. Alhaurín el Grande, Monda, Guaro and Ojén were other municipalities which suffered completed or attempted thefts.

Charity discount day at Image Salon ■ MIREILLE TODDINGTON mireille@costablancapeople.com

Los Dolses-based Image Salon is hosting a Charity Open Day on Saturday 3rd December. The hair salon and beauty parlour is offering discounted treatments with the proceeds going to the Kidney Association. The Open Day is the brainchild of owner Sandra Cunningham who has to raise £3,000 between now and 11th November 2017 when she is setting off to Vietnam and Cambodia to spend 10 days cycling 400km in a charity challenge. Sandra is paying all her own costs which include: visas, flights to UK, airport taxes, fuel surcharges, insurance, injections and registration and in addition, she also has to raise and donate the £3,000 pledged before she sets off. This is a professionally organised group event arranged by Global Adventure Challenges and Sandra is being accompanied by The Costa Blanca’s People sales representative Trish Flint, who is also covering her own costs and donating her £3,000 to help those with heartbased conditions. This challenge is certainly not for the faint-hearted; the ladies will spend 6-8 hours every day in the saddle in an average of 84 percent humidity. The challenge will take them from Vietnam’s Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) to the ancient temples of Angkor Wat in

Cambodia. To raise her hefty pledged donation Sandra is hosting the first of her planned Charity Open days, with her and her staff giving their time and expertise for free to allow every penny to go to the Kidney Association and to encourage people to help raise money several treatments will be discount especially for the day.

Therapy. Ultimate Light Therapy penetrates deeper than any other method of skin treatment or skincare product; this is the future of skincare treatments available now, exclusively at Image.

Special offers On offer is a Hydra Facial reduced from 45 euros to 25 euros and this can be followed by a 15 minute light therapy session, half price at just ten euros. These combined treatments offer the perfect antidote for postsummer skin. HydraFacial is a multistep treatment that uses patented technology to cleanse, exfoliate, extract and treat the skin. During the treatment dead skin cells and impurities are removed and the skin is hydrated with antioxidants and peptides. Whether you’re simply looking to maintain the healthy condition of your skin or are concerned about wrinkles, acne or pigmentation, HydraFacial can be catered to your needs. The Hydra facial can be booked as a stand-alone treatment or combined with Light

Blue Light targets bacteria that causes acne and is one of the most powerful ways to eliminate Keratosis skins. It decreases pore size and limits oil production and stimulates healthy skin growth. Red Light hydrates the skin up to 600 percent providing skin rejuvenation and counteracting the signs of aging. It reduces red

capillaries and works on facial lines and wrinkles. It also reduces sun damage, age spots and nonmelanoma skin cancers. Purple Light combines the benefits of the Red and Blue Light treatments and is excellent for scar tissue and postsurgery healing. It also provides deep relaxation and is the equivalent to nine hours of deep sleep. Nail technician Susan Cooper is offering a gel polish at just 10 euros and a full set of acrylics for 20 euros. Then why not complete the look with a cut and blow dry (15 euros) or a blow dry (10 euros) with hair stylist Cheryl McGlynn. Also available is a full body MOT with health and fitness expert Steve Treanor from Vida Fitness Studio. This includes: blood pressure check, body fat calculation, SATS, BMI, Visceral Fat, blood sugar level, lung function and Cardiac dug/medication advice. This is usually 50e but will be half price on the day. To ensure she is fit enough to complete the challenge Sandra has been training at Vida Fitness Studio in Los Dolses, particularly the bike-based spinning and Vuelta session, in addition to marathon bike rides around the coast.

Wanted Brit captured A British drug trafficker wanted in the UK for the possession of 3.7 tons of cannabis resin has been captured on the Costa del Sol. Agents from the National Police have arrested a 56 year old Englishman who had a European Arrest Warrant (EAW) issued against him. The arrest was made in Sedella, a village in the Axarquía area, Málaga province. The British Police captured the drug runner when he was transporting the cannabis resin from Málaga with destination Essex back in 2014. The fugitive was detained again last on 8th November, during a special police operation which had located his presence in Spain. He was captured close to his home in Sedella and once his identity was notified to the Málaga Police Station and the outstanding arrest warrant discovered he was taken into custody, according to a statement from the National Police. The EAW was issued in October 2014 when the British detectives found and impounded the 3.4 tons of cannabis resin hidden in a lorry transporting furniture from Málaga to Essex. The arrested, who was later known to be part of a criminal organisation, had rented the lorry. The court in St. Albans issued the arrest warrant on 19th November, 2015, for the importing of class B drugs, a classification which carries a maximum sentence of 14 years in prison. The arrested has already been placed before the Central Instruction Court 6 in the National Court.

A Few Facts and Figures For My Happy House Hunting Friends! 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! Well, it just goes to show you that Spain is still extremely popular with those international buyers, with figures proving that this is the place for a perfect investment. Not only is it easy to get here by plane or car, but the style and size of property still proves to be excellent value for money. So the exchange rate isn't the greatest between the Pound to the Euro, but that's not holding those savvy investors back. Like everything to do with the property market, things go down, but do go back up just as quick. During the first semester of 2016, foreign buyers were queuing up to purchase property in Spain, with the Canary Islands reaching a 44.2% in popularity. The Balearic Islands were at 41.5%, followed closely behind with the Valencian Community at 37.2%. Murcia then came in at 27.7%, Andalucia was 21.4%, and with the least amount of foreign investors were Extremadura at 3.1%, Galicia at 3.7%, Pais Vasco a 4.4%, Castilla y Leon 4.5% and Asturias at 4.7%. At the close of the first semester of 2016,

Notaries showed that it was the British people as the main buyers holding a 19% of the total, followed by 8% of French, 7.8% Germans, 6.5% Italians, 5.9% Swedish and Rumanians at 5.7%. All of these foreign buyers accumulate to half of the home sales for Spain! Foreign buyers are spending on average €1,618 per square meter, which is an increase of 2.3% inter-annual. The price per square meter, paid by nonresidents of Spain, increased by 4.3% to €1,855, with residents spending €1,359 on average. You’re not the only buyer still looking to purchase.... not just their home, but their dream, so you don't want to get left behind and be that person that ends up paying too much, just because you got cold feet! There'll never be a better time to buy. You don't have to be a rocket scientist, to be a savvy investor! 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?

The Brits who Designed the Modern World – BBC2 – 10.30 pm If there were an olympic league table for design, Britain would be right at the top. Since the Second World War, British designers have revolutionised our homes, our workplaces, our roads and our public institutions. In November 2016, the Design Museum opens its new £83m home in Kensington. To mark this great moment for British design, BBC Arts profiles ten great living British designers. Arts reporter Brenda Emmanus meets and profiles our 'Top 10', to find out what inspires them to make such phenomenal objects and to explore how designers have responded to society's evolving tastes.

Lo Ferrís protected The area of Lo Ferrís is one of the remaining areas of natural beauty along the coast. The Valencian Government has included the area in its Plan de Acción Territorial de la Infraestructura Verde del Litoral (PATIVEL) which means that it is protected from development. According to PATIVEL the palm grove at Lo Ferrís and other areas of land will be categorised as non-developmental and form part of a green belt area that

stretches to Torrevieja’s natural lakes. The pressure group Salvemos Lo Ferrís are delighted at the proposal which identifies the palm grove and dunes as being of great scenic value. If this protection of the palm grove is supported then it will nullify the building plan agreed in March 2015 by the local government in Torrevieja (then the PP). Plans were in place for 2,300 properties to be constructed next to

Torrevieja hospital. This proposal will no longer be able to go ahead if the Valencian Government’s PATIVEL is enacted. There is now a period of public consultation for this and the process will last for two months. Those town planners affected by the decision can appeal during this time. Suzanne O’Connell

Last British member of the International Brigade dies The last British member of the Spanish Civil War’s International Brigade has died aged 98 years of age. Stan Hilton, who fought on behalf of the Spanish against fascist dictator General Franco, passed away in Melbourne. In 1937, a 19-year-old Satn Hilton left his ship in Alicante and joined the British Battalion of the 15th International Brigade.

“The Spanish people needed help, it was the right thing to do,” he said. Hilton helped Spanish rebels fight off Hitler and Mussolini’s forces as well, who were testing their weaponry ahead of the Second World War. He later rejoined the British navy and served in WWII before he emigrated to Australia in 1956.

guaranteed great night out. You will have a fabulous time... oh yes you will! Come along and join the cast in their own specially built theatre.

Gig guide

t’s a great week for Rock n Roll fans with Johnny Scott a rockin’ n a rollin’ for fans up and down the Costas. Just back from a tour of Malaga Johnny is fast becoming known for his charm and great guitar talents, along with his Buddy Holly set. His first gig this week is at La Bodegueta in Lo Crispin where you can find him inside the bar from 8pm. It’s a huge day on Wednesday at Pablo’s International in Playa Flamenca as they will be holding a fundraiser for Help for Heroes Charity. The proceedings start at 3pm in the new marquee where there is an impressive line up of acts who will be donating their time to raise funds for the military charity that support all service men and women who have suffered traumatic injuries. The music will be continuing until midnight and will include Johnny Scott from 7pm and following hot on his rock n roll heels are the very popular Bella Luna. This looks like a superb day and night of live music and you will be guaranteed delicious, affordable food and one of the warmest welcomes on the Costas by “mine host” Maggie. On Saturday The Trio return to The Club in Quesada. The band consists of Ricky Patton, Trace Graham and Lee (The Animal) who set the band up as a tribute to all their other bands. With music from The Beatles, The Stones, The Eagles, Everly Brothers, Status Quo and music from the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s there is plenty to keep everyone dancing all night long. They recently did a mini fiesta and had one of their Status Quo numbers filmed and posted on Youtube. The number “Rain” was seen by Status Quo’s manager and given a big thumbs up – much to the delight of the boys in The Trio as they are massive Quo fans themselves. Newly returned from his show with The Stylistics at Benidorm Palace, Richie Alexander continues to pull the crowds wherever he goes. He will be appearing for his once a month Monday afternoon show from 2pm at the Club in Quesada on 28th November. For fans wishing to book now, he will also be there on Boxing Day afternoon to help everyone to burn off those extra calories.

An Exclusive Marina Bar/ Reach Out Event ARCHANGEL CHAMUEL, THE ANGEL OF LOVE One of the questions I get asked a lot is "Which angel do I call upon to invite love into my life?" The answer is the wonderful Archangel Chamuel who is known as 'The Angel of Love'. Archangel Chamuel’s name means ‘He who sees God’ or He who seeks God’. He will help to renew and improve your loving, caring relationships with others by helping to develop the heart chakra. This is accomplished through the beautiful pink ray that represents our ability to love and nurture others, to be able to give and receive love, unconditionally free from all self-interest is a love that transcends and transforms the self and moves us through compassion towards the divine state of emotional maturity. Archangel Chamuel helps to strengthen a parent-child bond, and will assist if your heart has hardened and is full of negative emotions or if you have lost someone close through death or separation. Many people are afraid of opening their heart chakra, and those who have been able to overcome this fear have charismatic warmth that others find reassuring, soothing and uplifting. Call upon

Archangel Chamuel to help to renew and improve existing relationships, or if you feel lonely, and need to be loved. Archangel Chamuel can help us to find our soul mates once we have opened our hearts to his angelic love, peace and

gratitude. However, once you have asked, you need to believe, trust and KNOW in your heart that he will send the right person into your life. Any doubt or worry will block the process. Chamuel helps us to seek out important parts of our lives and he also helps us to find anything that appears to be lost which also includes a pet that may have gone missing. In this case, you would say the following

invocation. "Dear Archangel Chamuel, I seem to have lost (say their name, and visualise them in your mind's eye). Please keep (say pets name) safe, and shine your guiding light so they may follow it to the safety of our home. Thank you, Archangel Chamuel. Archangel Chamuel’s magical correspondences Ray/colour 3rd Ray – Pink Focus Creative intelligence Element Air/Developing the higher emotions. Crystal Rose Quartz, to open the heart. Archangel Chamuel helps us to appreciate the existing loving relationships we already have in our lives. His message is “it is only the love energy within any given purpose that gives lasting value and benefit to all creation". Chamuel, with his loving delicate pink ray heals any part of your body you have rejected or judge unlovingly or unlovable. He also helps to ignite happiness and prepares you to receive the Christconsciousness, the Holy Spirit.

The PP and PSOE make a State Pact on domestic violence The PP and PSOE parliamentary groups have registered a transactional amendment in Congress to achieve a State Pact on gender and domestic violence. The news was given by the PP spokesman in Congress, Rafael Hernando in a press conference. He considered this fight is of ‘extraordinary relevance’ and called on all the other parliamentary groups to join in the combat against domestic and sexual violence, citing the autonomous government, Town Halls and other national institutions. The agreement focuses on the protection of the victims and their children, which affects the effective judicial treatment of women, such as the actions of the State Security Forces. “We are going to create a subcommission of study – before the end of the year- to analyse the application of the legislation, and to consider if the new pact is sufficient,” said Hernando, to see if we can improve ‘the basis from which distinct groups and associations can participate’. The basic objective, he said, is ‘to uncover this serious problem and social cruelty’ that disgusts ‘all those against domestic violence’.

Winter Skin Care

Summer has just about gone and so its time to think about a slightly different skin care regime for the cooler months. Summer skin is normally covered in sun block, which as well as blocking the sun, also blocks the pores resulting in those little white spots called milia. If you have milia I bet you have tried to squeeze them and been

disappointed that it didn’t clear. Milia are pores that are blocked not only with product but also with our own sebum, which solidifies. We have lots of clients that have milia and apart from not knowing what causes them don’t know how to get rid of them. Help is at hand in the form of several treatment methods. Large , longstanding very hard milia

can be cleared with a machine called Thermo Vein which actually melts the milia. If you have lots of very superficial ones they can sometimes be cleared with another machine called Dermafrac or another method called microdermabrasion. All of these methods can be helped by having a mild glycolic skin peel as well. Contact us for information on these treatments. Just because the sun isn’t hot doesn’t mean that we don’t need sunblock as UVB rays are still there on cloudy days. UVB rays can still damage the skin, even through glass, so it is still necessary to use a block the winter months. Factors contained in foundation cream are usually sufficient in the winter so if you wear makeup always check that it contains a SPF factor. Cleanse and moisturise skin in winter and remember that if you go skiing you will be at high altitude and therefore likely to be burned by the sun so any skiers out there please protect your skin and especially lips. Lips are often neglected parts of the face and during winter exposed to more cold and wind so again protect with products specially designed for lips. If you have small broken veins on the face winter is the best time to have those treated and again Thermo Vein is the answer. Just because we talk about machines please don’t be put off and think that treatments are going to be costly. We are realistic about pricing and would much prefer to have clients with nice skin that they feel confident about and we never charge for consultations. Come and ask our advice and use the winter to get your skin in tip top condition.

Simon via email asks: I downloaded Malwarebytes Free from the official website but after it installed it came up in Spanish instead of English so how do I change it? Aunty Says: Hi Simon. After starting Malwarebytes click on the “Configuracion” cog icon then “Configuracion General” in the left hand list and you will see a drop down list titled ‘idioma’ which is where the language can be changed. Some programs/apps (such as Skype) have the change language options under ‘herramientas” or “opcoines. Jane via email asks: Dear Aunty, I have a USB 4G Dongle with a SIM card that i plug into my laptop and use the internet if I’m away from home decent. The last week Firefox is painfully slow but it is fine at my local cafe where they have free WiFi. Should they be different speeds Aunty Says: Hello Jane. First check that you haven’t exceeded your monthly quota as most providers will restrict you speed to a crawl. If you’re still within your quota then this could be the signal strength of your providers mobile service in the area where you are trying to connect. You can think of this as if it were a mobile phone as they both use the same coverage and as we sometimes have to do with our mobile phone, try moving your laptop to different area and you may well see the signal strength improve. Gary from Catral asks: I have Windows 8.1 and I use the paid version of MacAfee but is it wise to also have Malwarebytes and Widows defender or are they the same type of app? Aunty Says: Hi Gary. Malwarebytes will detect a lot more spyware than MacAfee so yes you should download and install the free Malwarebytes. Windows defender is very similar to MacAfee and they will probably battle each other so no point in enabling Defender. Any questions, you can email me at: auntyvirus@costablancapeople.com and hopefully see you all next week.

Taxi driver arrested for attacking nonpaying Brit A taxi-driver has been detained for hitting a British passenger who refused to pay. The suspect was arrested in l’Alquera after being chased by National Police and stopped by a Local patrol. The Briton suffered a broken nose after being punched. A taxi-driver was detained during the early hours of the morning in Benidorm, after punching a British passenger who was drunk and refused to pay. Tempers rose until the driver started to punch the traveller, causing serious injuries needing medical assistance. The incident happened at 4.15am when the driver attacked the passenger who had fallen asleep and when he woke up refused to pay. After the assault, the driver sped off and a chase ensued where a National Police patrol car was alerted. During the car chase the arrested faced a Local Police patrol control in the city centre, given the fiestas for the patron saint in Benidorm. The driver was stopped in the Avenue l’Alquera, and arrested by the National Police. According to witnesses present, as reported by Spanish newspaper Informacion, when the taxi stopped the left back door of the vehicle was covered in blood from the beating. The driver is reported to be middle aged and after questioning admitted to the incident and being the author of the crime. The National Police then questioned other taxi-drivers to establish that the suspect had acted alone.

Diana Quer driver identified The driver of the car missing sixth-former Diana Quer got into at the port of Taragoña on the night she vanished in August has been identified, police have revealled. Witnesses claimed to have seen the 18year-old, who has spent every summer in her Galicia holiday home since she was three, getting out of one vehicle and into another at around 3.00am or 4.00am on 22nd August. Her mobile phone signal vanished at 4.00am, after the battery went dead, and the handset has been found in the river near where she got into the car. Police say the man in question has a criminal record for drug-trafficking and was driving a van or similar vehicle. Diana, who lives year-round in Spain's wealthiest town – Pozuelo de Alarcón, in Madrid – was seen arriving in a car with three men and voluntarily got into the second vehicle. Those who saw what happened said she was definitely not

forced. The youngster, who was studying for her driving test when she vanished, was last seen walking home from the fiestas in A Pobra do Caramiñal, where the family holiday home is based, just after 2.00am on 22nd August. She sent a WhatsApp message to a friend in Madrid at 2.15am saying she was being followed by a 'gypsy-looking' man who was trying to ‘chat her up’ from a distance. However, this man was questioned and ruled out as having anything to do with the young woman's going missing. Police copied her SIM card and traced her progress between then and when the battery went dead, and say she had travelled in a car for nearly 20 kilometres. They are now centring their search in the Rianxo area near the port of Taragoña, but are keeping all their options open as to what may have happened to her.

Imanyo Golf Society Poppy Appeal and “Phil Ward Carers Cup”

COMETH THE HOUR……… ……..cometh the man. (with apologies to the cliché police*) And the man was Cristiano Ronaldo, with a match-winning hat-trick in the Madrid ‘derby’ – Real Madrid’s last league game at the Calderón before Atletico move to their new stadium. A crashing, deflected free kick, a penalty and a great run and pass from Gareth Bale were enough to cap a fine team performance by the leaders, with Isco and Kovacic outstanding, and defenders Varane and Nacho standing firm. Bearing in mind Real Madrid’s absences – Kroos, Casemiro, Sergio Ramos, Pepe and Morata, this was a show of strength in depth. Earlier Barcelona had lost a chance to go temporarily into the lead when they couldn’t find a goal against the inspired keeping of Carlos Kameni, for Málaga, in the Nou Camp. Barça, like their eternal rivals, were depleted, Messi out with a stomach problem, and Suarez suspended, but they had Piqué back from injury. Earlier still, Sevilla had a great come-back after going behind at A Coruña against Deportivo, and won 3-2, to go into third place. In Sunday’s late

games, Valencia produced yet another miserable performance, unable to find a winner against Granada, the only team not to have won a game so far. Real Sociedad had a good away win at Sporting, and Athletic Bilbao a deserved victory over ambitious Villareal by the odd goal. In the second division, Levante lost a bit of ground, when they fell to Oviedo, but still lead by seven points from Girona and Sevilla Atletico, themselves a further point clear of Oviedo and Reus. Elche were beaten by Almería and are now in mid-table. There was little change in division 2B, except that Cartagena took over the lead in group 4 from early frontrunners Marbella. Both local sides, Hercules and Alcoyano, suffered defeats in group 3. In England, Arsenal and Manchester United drew, then Manchester City had to rely on Yaya Touré’s two goals from midfield to overcome Crystal Palace, and stay level on points with Liverpool, who fought out a goalless draw at Southampton. Spurs came from behind to beat neighbours West Ham by the odd goal in five, and Sunderland gave

David Moyes an early Christmas present by seeing off Hull City 30, evergreen Jermain Defoe on the score-sheet. Sunday afternoon, and Chelsea visited Middlesbrough knowing that a win would take them to the top. A 41st minute goal by Diego Costa was enough to achieve just that – they are a point clear of City and Liverpool. In tennis, Scot Andy Murray crowned a wonderful year by winning the Masters’ trophy from rival Novak Djokovic, in the London final, taking the match 63, 6-4. In basketball, Real Madrid topped a fine week by beating Las Palmas to go top of the ACB, having earlier thrashed Barcelona in the Europa League. *’Cometh the hour, cometh the man’ is a somewhat obscure quotation, which may have its root in the Bible, (John 4:23) but both P.G. Wodehouse and Sir Walter Scott lay some claim to the quote in part. The first trace of its use in whole, however, seems to date from Ted Dexter’s description of Graham Gooch! Malcolm Palmer

This is the third year this cup has been played for and many thanks go to Phil and Margaret Ward for sponsoring the day and also helping to raise money for the poppy appeal. We had defending winner of the last two years, Eamon Murphy, paired with lady golfer Mo Chaplin, hoping to retain the cup for the third time and they clinched it by four points. This was a re-arranged game from the2nd November as we had to cancel the game at Alenda, many thanks go to Alicante Golf for accommodating us at short notice, this was the first time that the society, and most players had played this course. The format was pairs Texas Scramble scoring Stableford points, for those in the UK the weather was sunshine but with a breeze, some players were still in shorts and T shirts! Eventually we arrived at the course, we found all the staff very accommodating and pointing us in the right direction where needed.

Winner of the”Phil Ward Carers Cup” was Eamon Murphy and Mo Chaplin with an incredible 42 points, runners up were “Always Near” Dave Field and Ian Chetwynd with 38 points, the Endeavour award went to “I’m back” Alan Rodger and “Mr Endeavour”Walter Donovan, with a good score of 30 points this just shows how close all the pairs were, only one nearest the pin was won, hole 12 Ian Chetwynd...shows how tough the

par threes are. The presentation was held at our temporary base, Yo Yo Garden while Imanyo staff take a well deserved holiday. The football card was won by our sponsor Phil Ward with West Ham Utd winning €20 and raising €20 for the poppy appeal.

Fishing Fiesta trip to Extremadura Members of the Rods and Reels and Abbey Angling Club took a week’s trip to Extremadura for their annual ‘Fishing Fiesta’. The group included one nonangler who had come to photograph

and taped-over electric wires. Not a good start, and worse for one member who, having left the Costa early, took a long detour via Badajoz, arriving early evening. He wasn’t allowed to forget it for

wildlife. We were staying at an hotel in Puebla de Alcocer and using part of nearby Lake Serena - one of the three largest reservoirs in Spain, if not Europe. It is an area rich in castles and history. Not far away is the town of Medellin, named after its Roman founder Quintus Mertellus and the birthplace in 1485 of Hernan Cortes, conqueror of Mexico. Alcocer itself has a fine castle with the town lying on the slopes below, where wonderful views of the surrounding country can be obtained. On arrival we found that the Hotel Cordoniz was fully determined to live down to its one star, such as: putting three people in one small room but still charging full price, broken shower heads

the whole week (No names, no packdrill, but his initials are T S !). However, in fairness the rooms were cleaned and linen changed daily and the staff were pleasant. The reservoir was well down, entailing a drive over a very rocky slope strewn with boulders to reach the pegs. The weekend was spent in practice for the 11 a.m. start on Monday, finishing at 5 p.m. each day. The days were extremely hot and the area surrounding the reservoir, consisting mainly of grassland with scattered evergreen and cork oaks, was bleached white, showing no rain had fallen for a long time. The practice days didn’t produce any hopeful signs, but, considering the vast size of the lake, it

would take plenty of groundbait to tempt in fish to the area. This proved the case and by the end of the week some pegs were producing good weights, mostly the higher numbers furthest along the margin, which all were desperately hoping to draw every evening.. After the match had started catfish began to appear, often swimming up to the seats, providing an easy catch. However the negative side was their spiny fins which caused an unpleasant reaction to those stabbed - one angler being hardly able to use his right hand due to the swelling and requiring a visit to the Farmacia for antibiotic cream. However, others found that a large catfish was just the thing to make up final weights. All were sorry that Neil (the Boy) Birnie had to leave early due to a back problem; tempered in some cases with a certain

Pesky catfish!

relief that strong competition was lessened. While the anglers sweltered by the water, the photographer sweated across the desiccated steppe looking for nonexistent wildlife. Even the storks which are permanent feature of the area, nesting on churches and old buildings, were missing. After the day’s fishing everyone was glad to sit in the hotel courtyard with a cool drink before heading for a local restaurant - ‘La Huerta’ where the huge quantities of delicious food made up for any disappointments of the day. Should anyone visit Puebla de Alcocer, this restaurant is an absolute must. Apparently the family which owns it comes to Torrevieja for their holidays. If only they would bring their restaurant here as well! On the Wednesday evening the group went to the nearby town of Talarrubias, where they had stayed last year, for a

meal at a local restaurant. Inevitably, comparison was made with ‘La Huerta’ and most decided it was no contest. If only local businesses would realise that, in this remote area, with few tourists, you need all the goodwill you can get and that giving poor quality food and wine results in a negative posting on Tripadvisor and a loss of business. On Friday the final awards were made and the hotel provided the sort of food we should have had on offer all week - given the reputation of Extremadura for great cuisine. This gathering gave the photographer yet another opportunity to take embarrassing shots of club members ( the only wildlife easily available), and hopefully all photographs will be available for members to view in due course (unless a hefty sum is forthcoming in some cases!). Inevitably with fishermen, nobody would claim they had had a good catch, but the usual suspects were out in front, especially Doug Hornblow who always seemed to get a high number peg and kept reeling them in. On Saturday we began the long drive home, to France in the case of one member. Everyone caught a strong dose of sun if not fish, but the week was one of good humour and relaxation and seemed to be enjoyed by all. Stephen Treseder

San Miguel Golf Society Nearly forty of us took on what for many members was a near 2 hour round trip to sample the delights of a course that has always been on our circuit but less so over the past few years. The recent new owners tempted us with a very attractive deal which included the use of their new buggy fleet. Altorreal sits on the far side of Murcia and has always been, like so many other courses, a little tricky to find, so the intensive heavy road works in the vicinity added a little to the difficulty. Once at our destination it became evident that the new owners were using a little more than a “new broom” on their acquisition with improvement work underway in several places. Top score of the day was a mere 34 with the vast majority not even reaching the 30's which emphasizes the tough conditions, but the weather certainly couldn't be blamed as it was a warm, sunny November day. The “curse of our courses” in this part of the world is crowned holes and here was no exception, each one needed a good thump with a huge, flat shovel – as did the guy who cut them without using a board to keep the surrounding ground level. 3 shots to get on the green followed by 3 putts was a common complaint. As if this game isn't tough enough, many of the fairways have been reduced in width by allowing the “first cut” to encroach in strategic places.....that's fair

enough to add a subtle degree of difficulty but you don't have to set the mowers to just a millimetre or two deeper than a golf ball. On many an occasion a good drive could be severely punished if it rolled off the fairway into the first cut never to be seen again, unless you were lucky enough to spot it from directly above! Anyway, it was a very enjoyable day and before we get branded as the VMGS (Victor Meldrew Golf Society) I must say what lovely beer is served in the clubhouse....lovely, but a bit expensive!! Best guest was Gary Garbett with a respectable 31 and “Nearest the Pins” on the par 3's went to Norman Cahill, Steve Fleet, Steve Higgins and Eva Pettersson. The prize-winners in the bronze category were: 5th– Norman McBride 26, 4th– Keith Stevenson

26 (C/B), 3rd– Kyrre Skarsmoen 27, 2nd– Chris Hamblett 30, 1st Brian Mulligan 34. The prize-winners in the silver category were: 5th– Norman Cahill 30, 4th-Keith Wickham 32, 3rd - Phil de Lacy 33, 2nd – Hugh Reilly 34, 1st – Ken Flaherty 34 (C/B). The prize-winners in the gold category were: 5th– Tony Smale 29, 4th – John Osborne 29 (C/B), 3rd – Theo Boelhouwer 30, 2nd – Eva Pettersson 31, 1st – John Aitchinson 32. Our thanks go to the staff at Altoreal golf course for their contribution to the day.

Your week in sport ■ CHRIS DARWEN You could be forgiven for thinking that England playing some superb cricket in the 1st Test against India was a one off. As the 5th day of the 2nd Test got underway on Monday, England were facing the somewhat daunting prospect of batting the whole day not to lose. Or, to look at it in a slightly more positive way, needed about a thousand runs with only 8 wickets remaining. Of course, you will know the result by the time you read this, if you are that way inclined. To my absolute delight the Australian Test side has lost their

winner would end the year ranked at the top. Again, it would have been far more British of Murray not to win the damn thing, but he did. Credit to him, after his national football team wore pink at Wembley last week Scottish, nay British, sport needed a pick me up.

about our selection of players born overseas, the Australians need an English born batsmen to get them some runs. That’s it, I am done. Life is complete. Andy Murray enjoyed his moment as the World Number One tennis player that he was in no mood to let it go after a week. He and Djovokic met in the ATP World Tour Final knowing the

last five cricket matches. If that made me smile, I positively beamed at the news that they are calling up a new player to try and stem the tide. And said player was born in Yorkshire. Yes, having given England pelters for years

Tales from the Top Flight

■ CHRIS DARWEN chris@costablancapeople.com

It’s been a tough run for Wayne Rooney and on Saturday he finally completed a 180 degree turn for the first time this season. No, not on the pitch against Arsenal, but going from being humbly apologetic for being caught out on the beer after England’s win over Scotland to hitting out at the press for a “lack of respect.” Yes, he may well have adopted the Melania Trump method of script pinching in using Jose’s press conference notes but Rooney showed he was far impressed with his treatment, finishing with “I am not finished yet.” We can only hope that he didn’t mean he’d left half a bottle of whisky at the wedding and was heading back to get it. Ryan Giggs said they whole thing made him glad he isn’t a player today. Yes Ryan, because the papers never caught up with your antics, did they? What, you want some football talk? Well, Arsenal didn’t play anywhere near as much as United and still managed to escape with a point. Jose claimed United are the unluckiest side in the Premier League after the match. Jose, let me introduce you to a concept called Karma. Sure, you had an absolute stonewall penalty turned down but what goes around might well come around. Try being nice, like you were when you shook Arsene’s hand. Good things might start to follow. Arsenal were as dominated as Stoke and Burnley have been at Old Trafford this season and escaped with the very same point as Stoke and Burnley courtesy of a late equaliser from late substitute Giroud. It

has to be said though, Ozil must have been occupying the same part of the pitch as Pogba has loitered in for most of the season as I couldn’t see him anywhere. Yaya Toure, give that guy a cake. In one single game he has made more of an

I’ve always rated that David Moyes. A very underrated manager. The future looks a little brighter at the Stadium of Light where the lights literally went out on Hull. Moysey has been taking lessons from Jamie Redknapp though, calling his match winner Anichebe a “young Drogba.” Anichebe is 28. Liverpool failed to get past Southampton. Whilst Rooney was getting slightly hammered in a hotel at someone’s wedding, team mates Lallana and Henderson were allegedly embarking on a 220 mile round trip to a strip club. Well, they had played quite well. Klopp said he was “perfectly fine” with the 0-0 draw in the South Coast. Now now Kloppo, are you fibbing?

impact then another big midfielder playing his football in Manchester. Pep feels like it is having a new player available to him and Yaya was always confident his manager would turn to him eventually. Not so much luck for Vincent Kompany though. In the week where it came out that Pep doesn’t want his players partaking in any coital activities after midnight Kompany yet again failed to last more than ten minutes. It’s just what the injury prone skipper needs, Claudio Bravo’s knee smashing into his head. Joe Hart wouldn’t have done that. Those England “rumours” have died down for Pardew. Alan, if you have to say every single week “conceding from set pieces just isn’t us” then there is a real chance that it might actually be. Palace have the worst form in the entire country, which is a nice antidote to having the most smug manager in the country.

Leicester, they are in trouble aren’t they. Ranieri claimed he was delighted with his team’s reaction to being 2-0 down to Watford. The problem is Claudio, you were 2-0 down in the first place and your boys really do need to start remembering what got them in the Champions League in the first place. Just watch Leicester go and be brilliant against Brugge on Tuesday and you will start to understand the problems starting to set in at the King Power Stadium. Mazzarri said his team had done what he wanted, which I presume was “win.” Swansea are not in crisis says Bob Bradley, and they actually turned up against Everton. BB admits it is going to be a “long hard road to survival” but if they play as well as they did in the first part of the game against Koeman’s team, they have an outside chance. Everton are suffering from me suggesting on live television that they might finish in the top six this season. I probably cannot

apologise enough, but then I am unlikely to start. Bournemouth beat Stoke. Winger Jordan Ibe was threatened at knife point for his £25,000 watch after training. There was a time when that watch would have kept Bournemouth from going out of business. Mark Hughes was refreshing in defeat, saying they could only blame themselves which is a slightly different track taken compared to a few other managers in the game currently. Bojan suffered from the curse of the in-depth

interview. Having come across superbly well on Sky Soccer Saturday in a prematch piece, he proceeded to miss the vital penalty for Stoke. The use of social media in football is perfectly set up for matches like Spurs and West Ham. With ten minutes to go Arsenal fans were on Twitter cheering themselves up after an abject point at Old Trafford, mocking the demise of Tottenham’s unbeaten record. In the 92nd minute of the match, those very same Arsenal fans seemed to be more interested in Strictly Come Dancing. Bilic called the defeat difficult to take. Surely

Rugby becomes quite popular again in November as people, like me, who barely cast a glance at the club game suddenly get all giddy over the fact that their national sides are having a go. I can understand it, especially if you are English. It’s not as if many of the other national sporting sides are giving us much to cheer about. Actually, you can add Scotland into that mix too. England, feeling understandably confident, put an understrength team out against Fiji and saw their opposition off 58-15 scoring nine tries in the process. New Zealand would like Ireland to go another 108 years or so without beating them, so duly took revenge for their recent defeat in Chicago by hammering them 21-9 in their own back garden. Wales were run very close by Japan, only just coming out the winners in a 33-30 battle. Scotland left it late in beating Argentina 19-16 in a game dominated by their kicking ability. If only their football team were equally accurate, eh?

he is getting used to it? I have a cunning formula for beating Tottenham. Be wary of anyone called Harry and don’t give them penalties. That’s three or four weeks in a row that they’ve scored from the spot and just when you thought the returning Harry Kane was enough, they unleash another Harry called Winks. Mind you, those West Ham fans leaving White Hart Lane early to miss the rush, thinking three points were in the bag were a mite foolish weren’t they. Still, it’s not all doom and gloom for the Hammers, they are being heavily linked with the signing of Daniel Sturridge, because they just do not have enough strikers wandering around the pitch looking barely interested. I’d like to say the fixture computer left the best to last this weekend, but Burnley and WBA got it on on Monday night. Sunday gave us the delights of Middlesboro playing host to Chelsea in the battle of which manager would look a special kind of sultry moody. It’s almost as if Costa just didn’t want to try for a previous manager as he showed yet again why he is one of the more dangerous strikers in the league, netting Chelsea’s winner in the first half. With the pantomime season soon upon us, Conte will be hoping his number one villainous dame is available for the Christmas run. That’s something like 30 clean sheets in a row for Chelsea now since Conte invented the 343. Well done Antonio!

ABBEY ANGLING The 10th and final round of the Winter Series was fished on the river Segura at Murcia on the 15th November. They still seem to be doing work on the river somewhere upstream as lots of dead reeds and foliage are making it hard on the feeder. The Bleak have now begun to show a little bit, but they are very small just like razor blades. Dave Hoare decided to fish for the Bleak all day, and had an excellent weight of over 8kgs, possibly pushing up to a 1000 Bleak and just missing out in the top three. Mick Hill took the top spot with a very good weight on the day of over 13kgs. It was a close battle at the top for the cup with Richard Wood needing to beat me by three points and failed by just two points 1st Mick Hill with 13.260kgs fishing the feeder using corn 2nd Richard Wood with 12.180kgs fishing the feeder using corn 3rd Terry Screen with 10.400kgs fishing the feeder using corn and the pole using maggot for Bleak The winners of the Winter Series Cup Best 8 from 10 matches 1st Terry Screen with 66points 2nd Richard Wood with 65points 3rd Dave Hoare with 58points There are still some vacancies

RODS & REELS For this week’s open match we fished the Embalsa de Pedrera on the 16th November We decided to fish on Barbel Bay which with hindsight was not such a good idea, as the water recedes it leaves a metre of muddy bank in places which makes it not very good for fishing on. Although the weather was beautiful, that is more than can be said for the fishing with only six fish caught and one of them was a Bleak, which was enough for me to win a four man section. New member Kevin Mulligan taking the top spot with 1.840kgs 1st Kevin Mulligan with 1.840kgs 2nd Richard Wood with 1.600kgs 3rd Doug Hornblow with 1.320kgs All fishing the feeder using pellet

28 players including a few new members travelled to Riquelme to compete in a pairs better ball competition. The course was in excellent condition with very testing greens. We had the best weather of the week with everyone enjoying the day out regardless of scores. There was disappointment that the healthy twos pot rolled over from President´s day was not won with tales of near misses to rival any fisherman. As always we returned to the Blarneystone for the presentation where we were well looked after by Eamon, Gill and staff. Before the prizegiving a donation for €150 was made to Mick Gossage on behalf of the Royal British Legion for this year´s poppy appeal.

A disappointing start to the 2016-17 Premier 20 competition with a 13-3 loss to Javea Green with only our triples teams picking up points. Joy& Brian Gardiner with Jean Cooper managing a creditable draw 18 shots apiece whilst Wendy Ralph, Jim Hudson and John Ball won by 24-22. The Apollos returned to winning ways with a 9-5 victory against Montemar and by a points score of 116 -95.Top team was Joy Gardiner with Bill & Sue Jordan winning 32-9 having been behind early in the match whilst similarly Dawn & John Taylor with Harold Charleton behind until the 6th end came through with a 27-16 win. Ann and Robert Heath with John Ball picked up 4 shots on the last 3 ends to gain a creditable draw. Mixed fortunes for the Pioneers who lost to Mazarron by 130 -79 but picked up 6 points thanks to 3 winning rinks.The best result being from Fred Charman,Tom Heaslewood and John Lincoln with a 1614victory.Two further rinks managed single shot narrow victories. Not such good news in the Winter League this week after last week’s superb performance. Our opponents Emerald Isle were just too good and won on all rinks thereby taking all points. Well done to them and they must have a fine chance of winning the League this season. The Blues travelled to La Marina to play the Seagulls and came away with a 10-4 defeat. Overall score 81-134.Highlight for La Siesta was Irene Laverick, Vic Mahomet and Irene Mangan who managed a 22-18 win. A win for the Golds with a 12-2 win against the Emerald Isle Roundheads with the shots being 121 to 85. Top rink was Penny Porter,Rod Edgerton and John Clarke with a 28-5 victory this was well

supported with 4 other winning rinks.Well done to Rab Logan,playing his first game as skip,with Fred and Janet Charman winning 21-10 and to Ann Edgerton playing her first league game in 2 years winning with Roy Millward and John Porter15-13. Finally, sad news to report as Alistair who ran the Wednesday Chicken & Egg has passed away recently R.I.P.

CD Torrevieja 1-1 Elche Ilicitano The Corner Fans swept into the Nelson Mandela for this derby contest wondering if they would recognise their team as no less than six new players had been signed since the last home game. Nico, Lucas, Adrian, Robles, Soto and Calzado are the

new boys but only centre half Calzado started the game. And boy did he make a good impression, only denied the man of the match award by virtue of some incredible second half saves from Buba in the Torry goal. Torry started the game brightly and it was very much against the run of play when the visitors opened the scoring on 19 minutes. Buba punched clear but in doing so came far off his line. As the ball was returned into the box, he and several of his defenders were "missing" and

Alberto was one of four Ilicitano men who were unmarked and he hooked the ball home in emphatic fashion. This quietened the home support, but not for long as Torry continued to play some very attractive build up play. In less than five minutes Pastor had levelled the game. Damian saw the Oz

bound winger make his dash and pushed through a slide rule pass through that saw Pastor one on one with Juanma in the opposition goal. His first shot was saved by the keeper, but he pounced on the rebound and stuck

it home in no uncertain fashion. When Pastor returns to Australia in January, he will be sorely missed, especially as he has scored four out of Torry´s last six goals, only Hugo and Matheus netting since Lewis hit home in the defeat by Muro six weeks ago. Missing from this match was manager Pedreño. who had lost a close relative, for which a minute´s silence was held at the start of the match. He returns for the long haul to Almazora on Sunday, but will still be in the stands, completing his suspension. In his absence, his lads did him proud, battling strongly, never flinching from any challenge and always looking to play exciting and attacking football. Those deemed overly aggressive were Calzado, Lewis and Dani Salazar, who all ended up in the referee´s notebook. Torry will feel this is two points dropped rather than one won. Damian saw his first half shot graze the upright. Pastor was clearly impeded in the box when attempting to get on the end of a

Near miss

left wing cross. Matheus scorned a great chance with only Juanma to beat and Luis Carlos worked his magic in the Ilicitano box, jinxing past defender after defender only to be denied by an excellent stop from the keeper. At the other end, Buba earned his corn. He made two incredible stops when goals looked certain and in this respect a draw seemed a fair result. In the final analysis

Line up

though, Torry continue to spurn far too many golden chances. They are creating plenty and have the ability to carve open defences with strong runs, accurate passes and great craft. All this is to no avail if the ball does not end up in the opposition net. With Pastor having netted four of Torry´s last six goals, it is imperative that others start taking their chances. Six games remain before the Christmas break, four of those away matches. After that Pastor returns to work in Brisbane and play football for Wolves. By then, others must have found their shooting boots. With Muro managing a 1-0 win at the weekend, Torry drop a place but only five points covers them and the seven teams immediatley above them. Torry play four of those teams before Christmas, so it could all be a very different picture going into the holidays!
