Calls for a Cultural Centre for the coast According to the statistics, Orihuela Costa is the only place in Europe with 30,000 people officially registered, that does not have a cultural centre - and the local community is asking why.

o draw attention to the wishes of the people and to put pressure on the local government team, local political party C.L.A.R.O held a demonstration on Saturday at Zenia Boulevard shopping centre. The protest had a dual message as those present were also calling for the authorities to clean up the coast. Those taking part called for the streets and green areas to be cleaned up and maintained so that there are no longer piles of rubbish at bins or rubbish left to rot on wasteland.

The protest was held at the municipal car park next to Zenia Boulevard, which is exactly where C.L.A.R.O wants the government to build a cultural centre. According to the party a cultural centre has been demanded by the residents of Orihuela Costa for 10 years or more. It believes that the building should encompass a range of facilities to benefit the local community such as: an

auditorium, a full time library, social activities, musical school, language school and a cafĂŠ. A C.L.A.R.O spokesperson said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;A cultural centre would improve the quality of lives for everyone living on the coast, as well as increase the education and employment chances for the 5,000 young people living here who would benefit from the library etc., for their studies. This is very important as sadly Orihuela Costa education system has one of the highest Continued on page 6

Course for volunteers From 22nd to 25th October there will be a course for volunteers organised by Torrevieja town hall. The course was announced by Councillor Carmen Morate on 3rd October and will include information about the laws that apply to volunteering and the responsibilities that come with it. The course will be in Spanish and will take place from 5.30pm until 8.30pm, lasting 12 hours altogether. It will cost nothing to take part and registration will take place until 17th October. If you would like to take part you can fill in a form from the PROP office or send an email to pangea@torrevieja.eu to register your interest.

Torrevieja plays host to Orihuela residents Six residents who have been affected by the collapse of their home on Orihuela Costa are being put up in Hotel Fontana in Torrevieja. Insurance is paying for their stay there. Another resident who was rescued by police is still in Torrevieja hospital following breathing problems after the subsistence. Consequences of the accident continue to be felt by those people who are still living on Laguna III. The owners of 16 more properties that are close by the eight that were directly affected are now finding their day to day life restricted due to Continued on page 5

The reptile, of almost a metre long, was seen running through the Habaneras shopping centre on Tuesday afternoon 2nd October much to the surprise of the shoppers there. It was caught by a security guard who informed Councillor Carmen Morate who is responsible for the shelter. This was in fact the end of the iguana’s adventures which had begun 48 hours before. The reptile had originally been found in

appearance as the day heated up. However, Iggy was lucky and also apparently talented. He managed not only to escape from his cage but also to climb a two metre high wall andnegotiate a path from la avenida Rosa Mazón of more than 200 metres to arrive at the commercial centre. What’s even more surprising is that he managed to cross four lanes of the CV905 without being squashed.

The councillor subsequently contacted someone who had the equipment and the capacity to look after the creature temporarily. Iguanas need special conditions in which to live and these were not available at the shelter. However, when it came to moving Iggy, as the animal had become known, he had already escaped between the bars of the cage. ‘It’s a mystery how he was able to do this,’ explains the councillor, ‘he didn’t appear to leave any holes – the cage was still intact.’ The shelter staff then began to search for Iggy all Monday morning, expecting that he would make an

Some people were witness to this intrepid explorer who apparently stopped cars, caused traffic jams and managed to evade capture by the Local Police. This large, green lizard had evidently decided that rather than being stationed in the shelter it preferred the idea of a shopping expedition. So, who does this extraordinary lizard belong to? It is not unusual for lizards and other animals such as this to be abandoned after being bought as a pet. However, it would seem that Iggy does have a microchip but that it is missing data and does not appear on the international database. At the moment Iggy is housed in his foster home and is awaiting a final destination. Suzanne O’Connell

BITE SIZE PP councillor investigated for dual role NEWS: Continued from page 3 the closure of access to the estate.

New school library opened Colegio Cuba, a primary school in Torrevieja, opened its new library on Saturday 6th October. The library has been dedicated to Cecilio Gallego Alaminos who had campaigned long and hard for the school when it required refurbishment and when students were having to attend other schools because of its condition. The opening was attended by around two hundred people including the family of Cecilio as well as teachers, current and former students.

Joaquín Albaladejo was the PP’s councillor for the treasury in Torrrevieja between the years 2007 and 2011. During this time he was also a lawyer, community of owners administrator and estate agent. The

Marcha por la vida There will be a walk along the sea front in Torrevieja on 21st October in aid of cancer research. The walk will take place from the Hombre del Mar and finish at the end of the paseo at las Columnas. Setting off at 11am, it is something that the whole family can take part in whilst also making a donation of €7 to the AECC contra el cancer.

First international day of flamenco 10th November will see the first ever flamenco festival to be held in Torrevieja. The highlight of the event will be an evening’s entertainment in the International Auditorium at 7pm. The price is between €8 and €10 and local dance schools will be taking part. The event has been organised by the Casa de Andalucia de Torrevieja and tickets are available from the website: https://auditoriotorrevieja.com

Building plans suspended Plans to build 1,000 homes have been suspended following a request from the Departmentfor Development. The development in S6, known as ‘Villa Amalia’ is located in the southern part of Torrevieja. The Department for Development claims that there is no authorisation for the project and that the area is prone to flooding and would create serious drainage problems if it were to go ahead. This now causes a major problem for the local government as building work has already gone ahead and some of the plots of land have already been sold. The directive from the government department will come as a blow to the developers who were under the impression that the building plans were

agreed and the licences for works to take place had been granted. So who is to blame for the mix up? The land on which the building is proposed to take place was classed as fit for development since the 1986 General Plan. In 2005, it is claimed, approval was given by la Conselleria de Territorio y Vivienda (Department of Territory and Housing) and the project to create the urbanisations was approved in 2008. In 2011, it is claimed, that the PP in Torrevieja approved the partial plan but without some key reports being in place. Now further reports are awaited by the town hall to throw light on a situation that could leave developers in limbo in the meantime. Suzanne O’Connell

Tribunal Superior de Justicia de la Comunidad Valenciana (TSJCV) has now found that these roles were incompatible with his public role. Whilst acting as a councillor he drew a salary of €46,200. The town hall can now claim back the money he was paid as his public post was incompatible with that of his private interests. The law states that councillors should dedicate themselves to the public office they have been assigned to and should not continue with other occupations. Albaladejo would have been closely involved in planning decisions and projects whilst also being involved in real estate, a role that, it is alleged, would give him privileged information and influence. In his defence it has been claimed that he just worked very hard during this period and was able to carry out his public as well as private duties efficiently. Suzanne O’Connell

have been 17 interventions that have led to 12 arrests and the seizing of goods valued at €220,000. In order to catch those selling the counterfeit items, the police had to come

out at times other than their usual shift to catch the hawkers unaware. The focus was particularly on the paseos where tourists and residents alike often browse the goods which are arranged on the ground. Altogether 11,047 items were confiscated and will be destroyed. During their shifts the GRO also stopped traffic at 24 verification points and issued fines based upon a number of other illegalities including traffic infringements, false documentation and the consumption of illegal substances. Other arrests made during the summer high season by the GRO included crimes related to false documentation, stolen vehicles, threats with a knife,domestic violence and even illegal taxis. The GRO are called out to assist the Local Police and Guardia Civil as necessary and on occasions support Civil Protection, the fire service and the courts in their business. Suzanne O’Connell

There was plenty of role swapping too with women dressed as Guardia Civil and men dressed as superwoman. At the end of the parade there was the ‘Carroza del Hambre’ from which people were fed traditional food such as black pudding, sausages, bacon and drinks. The celebrations continued for those who still had the energy in the Plaza de Encarnación Puchal. DJs played many different types of music and the party continued into the early hours of the morning.

Casino dispute continues The cultural society of the casino held its general meeting on 7th October but those members who came were unable to carry a vote. There was only a 50% turn out which meant that this was insufficient for decisions to be made, according to the organisations statutes. Rosario Soler took up the role of president and criticised the behaviour of some members. There is still disagreement about whether the current board can continue for another term or whether they must stand down. Suzanne O’Connell

was due to water The insurance company investigating the collapse of the house in Playa Flamenca has pointed to a ‘flow of water’ as the cause of the collapse but has also said it has been denied access to the properties, presumably for safety reasons, by the Town Hall and so has not been able to make a final assessment. Since it happened, more than a week ago, speculation has been rife as to the reason behind the sudden and unexpected collapse where the first floor of one of the properties in Calle Limon fell onto a wall and patio area bringing down with it a conservatory and other adjoining walls. Two adjoining houses were split in two, with one practically demolished, with serious material damage to two others. Two British men in their sixties had to be rescued from two separate homes, but luckily neither was seriously injured. As always the expat community was on hand to rally round and help those affected. The Friendly Bar, located at Citrus Centre which is opposite Calle Limon, held a fundraising day and prize raffle to raise money for the people who were made homeless after the collapse. Prizes were donated by local people and businesses including Johnson's Supermarket, Tropicana Bar, Zest hair

The boats keep Woman Reduction in rescued on coming IBI to continue after fall on A boat with 13 occupants from Algeria arrived on the shores of Torrevieja on Friday 5th October. This was the seventh boat to arrive here since the previous Saturday. This time there were 13 people on board and the boat was spotted four nautical miles off the coast before it landed. The immigrants were transferred to the Red Cross centre. All were young men with one being a minor. After being picked up at sea the boat was towed by the Red Cross to the Muelle de la Sal where it was greeted by the Guardia Civil, Local Police and Civil Protection. From there the occupants were taken to the barracks in Torrevieja where they were checked by the Red Cross who announced that they were all in good health. It brings the total number of immigrants who have arrived in the past week to more than 100. Most of them have been men who have come from Algeria.

Occupants of another boat found The occupants of a boat that was found on 1st October have now been located. The immigrants had abandoned their boat on the Cala del Moro in Torrevieja and there was no sign of them when it was reported. The police were alerted to their location by a phone call to the emergency services at 10.30am. They were taken to the barracks in Torrevieja to a reception point where they were attended to by members of the Cruz Roja (Red Cross). One of them was treated but the others

were found to be in good health generally although some of them had symptoms of hypothermia. Suzanne O’Connell

the paseo

The woman was rescued after falling on the paseo de Las Rocas. The woman wanted to bathe in the water and fell in one of the breakwaters on the Paseo de Juan Aparicio, the main paseo along the front of Torrevieja. Fire engines were called out to rescue the woman of around 65 years old at 2.45 pm on 2nd October. The woman was trying to enter the water in a rocky part of the area when she fell. The emergency services were immediately called for and the Local Police arrived but were unable to rescue her because of the position in which she had fallen. Instead the fire brigade was called and they proceeded to rescue her using a stretcher. She could then be attended to by the health services who also transported her to the nearest hospital. The paseo Juan Aparicio was renovated in 1999 when two breakwaters were built in order to construct the two ‘piscinas naturales’ or natural swimming pools. It is a space appreciated by many where they can go swimming in the centre of town. Accidents such as this are not uncommon in this area as it is a very popular attraction and becomes very busy, particularly in the height of the summer season. Suzanne O’Connell

The IBI is the council tax that every Spanish property owner must pay to their local town hall. The plans are for the reduction in IBI of 7.5% that was set in 2016 to continue into 2019 in Torrevieja. Councillor for finance, José Hurtado, explained at a press conference that this continued reduction had been made possible because of the town council budget looking a little more favourable than had originally been thought. The new Financial Economic Plan will allow the local government to maintain the same charges for IBI as those set in 2018. In practical terms, this has meant that a family with an IBI of €250 on their property would have saved €10 in 2017, rising to a saving of €18.75 in 2018. A family with an IBI of €500 would have saved €20 with the first decrease

in 2017 and €37.5 with the second decrease in 2018. This saving will now continue into 2019. In addition to this general benefit across the town is a more specific concession to the town’s casino. The casino will receive a 90% grant reduction against its IBI, on the basis that the building is classed as a protected one. The grant acknowledges the important cultural and educational work that the casino provides to the town.’ Further concessions include the subsidising of social housing. The IBI for this type of property will be reduced to the lowest point it can be with a 95% subsidy. The aim being to encourage an increase in the availability of social housing for those who need it.

problems continue In spite of recent hope that council workers would get their full payment for August, they have not received it yet. Now, the mayor, José Manuel Dolón, is appealing to the government to help solve the problem of August payments for 800 council workers or ‘funcionarios’. The problem has arisen because traditionally the workers received a payment that was classed as productivity as part of their August pay packets. However, this payment was made without any form of measurement to identify whether the workers were actually being productive or not. In the current town hall climate where every attempt is being made to follow correct procedure, the payment was put on hold and has remained so, now into October. Council workers are not happy with the state of affairs and are demanding that the money owed to them be settled as soon as possible. However, a succession of bids to find a solution by the town council has failed. The last appeal to the Valencian government had seemed to offer more hope but, unfortunately, this has also proved not to have offered the long-term solution that the council were seeking. Now the mayor is due to meet next week with Government representatives in order to find a legal way out of the dilemma. It is hoped that after this meeting that further negotiations can be carried out with the union representatives of those still owed money. At present, there are two possible alternative ways forward. Firstly, by

directly challenging the law and justifying the payment of a productivity bonus as a fixed payment without any notion of productivity. Secondly is to re-classify this payment so that it doesn’t masquerade as productivity at all. These options will be explored during the Mayor’s meeting with government officials. ‘We need confirmation of what could possibly be done before we sit down to negotiate,’ said the mayor. ‘There is no point in negotiating and agreeing something to then discover that its terms cannot be met.’ The mayor has been the target of the employees’ frustration over the past month and there have been frequent scenes of noisy protest outside the town hall.

opera star Montserrat Caballe dies Spain’s world-famous opera singer Montserrat Caballe, known for her velvetedged voice and radical rock duet with Queen singer Freddie Mercury, died in Barcelona on Saturday at the age of 85. Hailed as one of the world’s greatest singers for her vocal virtuosity and dramatic powers, Caballe charmed audiences for half a century with a huge repertoire that saw her perform across the globe. The Spanish soprano was already considered an opera great when her duet with Mercury, a boundary-busting combination of opera and rock, became the anthem for the 1992 Olympic Games and propelled her into the mainstream. Retired for several years because of health problems, the soprano was hospitalised in mid-September due to a gall bladder problem, local media reported. Born in April 1933 to a humble family in Barcelona, Maria de Montserrat Viviana Concepcion Caballe i Folch studied music at the Liceu Conservatory in the Catalan capital. But her family’s financial troubles almost derailed her budding career, forcing her to briefly abandon her studies until a patron stepped in to help her. After a long break from the stage she made a rare appearance at the Barcelona opera in 2002 to mark 40 years since her debut at the Gran Teatre del Liceu. Her first entrance was greeted with a rapturous ovation lasting more than ten minutes.

Free alcohol could be banned in Madrid... and beyond Free alcohol deals could become illegal in the Greater Madrid region, and if the plan goes ahead, may stretch to other parts of Spain. In a bid to improve public health in general, an overhaul of food and drink consumption will ban offers such as 'free bottle of wine with every meal for two', shots on the house after dinner, two-for-one drinks offers, and anything else that involves alcohol being used as a bait to draw in customers. Open bars will also be banned if director-general of public health in the region, Juan Martínez Hernández, and Madrid's minister in charge of the area, Enrique Ruiz Escudero, bring their ideas to fruition. They will also make it compulsory for anyone in the Madrid area who handles food professionally to be able to speak Spanish – including restaurants, bars selling snacks or meals, grocery shops and food stalls – so that they can answer any questions customers may pose, including allergy and nutritional content information. Vending machines are 'a problem' for public health, particularly in terms of obesity, Ruiz Escudero and Martínez Hernández say – so they will enforce a rule that 30 percent of all products displayed must be of nutritional value, such as fruit, vegetables, nuts and dairy products.

All public areas, especially bars and restaurants, must make drinking water free and available to anyone who needs it, and bars in particular are required to take steps to prevent 'irresponsible consumption', such as by refusing to serve customers who are already very drunk. 'Super-sized' portions of food or drink, including those labelled 'extralarge', 'XL' or 'Maxi' will be banned – they are at best wasteful or off-putting, and at worst, dangerous to health, the officials say. How far the regulations go is under debate at present – Martínez Hernández says some vending machine franchises may consider it a positive move to 'diversify' their offer, whilst others may not, and the 'open bar ban' will not intrude on the family environment, although it is questionable whether this would be allowed at weddings or family parties in hotels or similar complexes. Also, it is not clear whether all-inclusive hotels would be expected to limit alcohol or charge for all bar soft drinks.

Survey A straw poll across Spaniards in general has sought to work out why the public may not be following a healthy diet, and the most-cited reason – that of 52.9 percent - was that of lack of time to buy

and cook fresh produce at home. Another 13.9 per cent cited a much wider variety and availability of ready meals and frozen 'heat-only' produce, whilst 12.5 percent said they ate out too often to be able to 'control' their dietary intake, 9.6 per cent admitted lack of knowledge of what was healthy and how to cook it, whilst 7.7 per cent cited the much higher prices of fresh and nutritious produce compared with convenience food. Only 1 per cent admitted to being 'too lazy', whilst 0.6 percent said the pace of modern life meant they did not have time. The survey found that 45 per cent of society believed themselves to be overweight – 31.8 per cent only slightly – whilst 42.5 per cent considered themselves to be a 'normal, healthy' weight, 11.1 per cent called themselves 'slim' and 11.1 per cent 'very slim'. But statistics show that at least 51percent of Spanish adults are clinically overweight. Whilst the majority gave their diets a 7.26 out of 10 for healthiness and nutritional content, in practice, 55 per cent rarely eat any of the ingredients involved in the traditional 'Mediterranean diet', said to be one of the most-recommended.

WEEKLY EURO UPDATE GBP: Q2 GDP growth in the UK came in at 0.4% as expected, but the accompanying numbers caused some problems for the pound. Business investment, which should have increased by 0.5%, fell by 0.7% in the quarter. The current account deficit widened by 29% to £20.3bn. Crucially, first quarter growth was downwardly revised from 0.4% to 0.1%, cutting year-on-year growth from 1.3% to 1.1%. Sterling lost an average of 0.4% on Friday after the news broke. The UK manufacturing data did give the pound a boost early in the week, however. The pound rose up against USD and the euro on the news that September saw the sector’s IHS Markit/CIPS purchasing managers’ index (PMI) rise to 53.8, an improvement from August’s 53. The pound had a positive day, strengthening by an average of 0.2%. The big news this week was at the Conservative Party Conference and sterling danced its way to a 10-day high versus the euro off the back of PM Theresa May’s moves at the Conservative Party Conference. This is despite no new detail and much of the same rhetoric from the PM, but markets were looking for a simple, uneventful address after May’s previous two speeches saw the sterling stumble. Ireland’s support for her Custom’s Plan also helped pop the pound back up to the top, with this intervention seen as a serious sign of support ahead of the crucial EU Summit on October 18th. EUR: The euro had a tricky, although not impossible week. Although headline euro zone inflation was on target at 2.1%, several of the other measures missed the mark. Core Euroland inflation slowed from1.0% to 0.9%. The big issue was the Italian budget deficit. Antipathy between Italy and the EU was highlighted in the media and the euro jumped almost half a cent higher in the early hours on a report that the deficit would

narrow in the next couple of years. The recent reports suggest the drama is over and Italy’s government is moving away from its initial 2.4% deficit per year from 2019 to 2021 after EU pressures. With a national debt of €2 trillion, a fight with Brussels could concern markets and investors. But with anti-establishment Five Star Movement and right-wing Northern League winning Italy’s recent election with a promise of pushing back on EU rules, eurosceptics in the country may see Tria’s concession as unsavoury. USD: While the media has been focused on the controversial Kavanagh hearing, the US forged ahead with its new iteration of NAFTA, now the USMCA, or United States Mexico Canada Agreement. There were more benefits for the Canadian dollar and the Mexican peso but the successful conclusion of often tense negotiations bolstered the US dollar. The good news was needed as there was little in the ecostats to provide assistance; personal consumption expenditure (CPE) was flat on the month. Manufacturing PMI America's ISM measure was the highest of the figures releases from around the world at 59.8 but there, too, any positive impact was neutralised by the number being lower on the month and below forecast. However, the dollar remained king towards the end of the week as any inkling of a bounce in the pound fell back to a September low after 10 year US yields rose to the highest point in seven years, with 30year Treasury bond reaching its highest level since October 2014. Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell said that he could see the Fed raising interest rates beyond that of the ‘neutral’ level. The 10-year rate is of significant interest given that it sets the rates for many everyday Americans looking for business and consumer loans, crucially home mortgages.

How to invest for the best returns in retirement: Reckless risk-taking or playing too safe can run your pot dry M

any retirees are at risk of bungling their pension finances by falling into one of two easily avoidable traps, according to new research. A 'risk‐averse retiree' who believes they are playing it safe by moving pension funds into cash accounts and a 'reckless retiree' who chases high returns are both at risk of running out of money in old age, says the study, by pension firm Royal London. Where is a risk‐averse saver going wrong? People using pension freedoms are switching retirement savings into current accounts and letting them get gobbled up by low interest rates and inflation, previous surveys have shown. Pension freedoms launched in spring 2015 have given over‐55s far greater control over how they spend, save and invest their retirement pot. But more cautious retirees have simply moved funds into ordinary accounts with no clear purpose. Where is a risk‐taking investor going wrong? Adventurous investments in overseas property, forests, storage units, airport car park spaces and other offbeat assets can be very high risk ‐ and even the worst case scenario ‐ scams. Royal London warns the lure of higher returns can lead some people to take excessive risks in retirement. Where should a rational retiree invest? 'There’s a tension here. If you don’t take enough risk, there’s no way your money can grow enough to sustain a reasonable income long into retirement,' says Royal London. 'On the other hand, if you expose yourself to the risk of large losses early in retirement, you could end up in the same place with the money running out unexpectedly early'. This is when independent financial advice is vital and here at Seagate we can work with you to tailor‐make the right investment strategy for you.

A lot of Australian and south African plants do very well in our area, but there is a genus in the Australian plants that’s hardly talked about, and that’s the Hakea. However, there are many hakeas that can contribute to a spectacular garden.

Hakeas are excellent garden plants and are useful for a number of purposes in the garden and the larger species, in particular, are excellent for screening. In addition, the flowers of all hakeas produce nectar and are excellent for attracting birds. CULTIVATION Most hakeas tolerate a wide range of soil and climate conditions. They grow well in sandy and clay loams, preferring a site in full sun or partial shade. They need good drainage that's the most important thing. Water them until they get established. When established they are really tough plants. FERTILIZING Like most members of the Protea family, hakeas have a distinctive root system (proteoid roots) consisting of tight groupings of many small “rootlets”. These are believed to enable the plants to more efficiently take up nutrients from the nutrient-deficient soils where many of the species occur naturally. In cultivation this means that the plants can be adversely affected by fertilizers, particularly phosphorus. So keep fertilizing to a minimum using only low-phosphorus, slowrelease fertilizers or do not fertilize at all.

PRUNING Hakeas respond well to regular, annual pruning where about one-third of the plant is removed. This promotes branching and produces a neat and compact plant with a bushy shape. Some plants can be cut back severely if they develop a “straggly” shape, but others will not tolerate this treatment. If in doubt, always leave some green foliage on the plant. PROPAGATION Unlike their close relatives, the grevilleas, hakeas come true to seed. Just take a seed pod - use secateurs and gloves because they can be prickly - put it into a paper bag and put it onto the window sill of your car where it is hot. The seed pods crack open, revealing the seeds. No pre-sowing treatment is required. The seeds should be placed on a moist seed mix, covered lightly and kept moist. Germination will vary from 15-100 days, depending on temperature and species. Initially seedlings emerge with their dark seed coat attached - most shed it quickly but it may be necessary to intervene gently to prevent misshapen stems. Then transplant them and they grow beautifully. Marc Vijverberg

WELCOME TO WAIKIKI with Vivalia Travel

Located on the south shore of Honolulu, the world-famous neighborhood of Waikiki was once a playground for Hawaiian royalty. Known in Hawaiian as "spouting waters," Waikiki was introduced to the world when its first hotel, the Moana Surfrider, was built on its shores in 1901. Today, Waikiki is Oahu’s main hotel and resort area and a vibrant gathering place for visitors from around the world. Along the main strip of Kalakaua Avenue you'll find world-class shopping, dining, entertainment, activities and resorts. Waikiki is most famous for its beaches and every room is just two or three blocks away from the sea (if it’s not directly on the beach). With Leahi (Diamond Head) as your backdrop, the calm waters of Waikiki are perfect for a surfing lesson. In fact, legendary Hawaiian waterman Duke Kahanamoku grew up surfing the waves of Waikiki. This Olympic gold medalist in swimming taught visitors how to surf at the turn of the century and was later known as “the father of modern surfing.” Today, the Waikiki Beach Boys perpetuate Duke’s legacy by teaching visitors how to surf and canoe and the Duke Kahanamoku Statue has become an iconic symbol of Waikiki.

But there’s more to Waikiki than just the beach. Attractions of Waikiki like the Honolulu Zoo and the Waikiki Aquarium offer fun for the whole family. You can learn about the history of Waikiki by reading the surfboard markers along the Waikiki Historical Trail. Among the various things to do, high-end boutiques, shops, and restaurants can be found all along Kalakaua and Kuhio Avenues and at gathering places like the Royal Hawaiian Center, the Waikiki Beach Walk and the newly transformed International Market Place. After the Waikiki sunset, the fun continues with amazing nightlife and live music. Best of all, Waikiki is within a half hour of a variety of Oahu attractions, including Pearl Harbor, Iolani Palace, the Nuuanu Pali Lookout and Hanauma Bay. Other notable points of interest nearby include Ala Moana Center (a massive outdoor shopping center), the local neighborhood of Kapahulu and the arts district of Chinatown. From Hawaiian royalty to Hawaii Regional Cuisine, Waikiki continues to be an evolving expression of the ancient spirit of aloha. On these famous shores, the past and the future are uniting in fresh and surprising ways.

Spain and UK pressured to reach Brexit deal on Gibraltar As Brexit negotiations enter their final phase, the European Commission (EC) is working to ensure that a deal over Gibraltar is done in time. The Brusselsbased European Union institution has taken the reins of the issue, which up to now was being dealt with by Spain and the United Kingdom, in order to close a deal as soon as possible over the British Overseas Territory. European negotiators are urging the UK to conclude a pact on Gibraltar. Both Madrid and London are seeking to protect the rights of their citizens – i.e. Spaniards who work in the British territory, and Gibraltarians who work in Spain – even if the UK crashes out of the 28-member bloc without a deal. Last week, the EU’s chief Brexit negotiator, Michel Barnier, held a meeting in Brussels with British representatives. Several sources close to the meeting have said that the encounter was somewhat different to the usual format, in that Spanish representatives sat on the same side of the table as those from the EC, in a discussion focused solely on Gibraltar. During the talks, Barnier’s number two aide, Sabine Weyand, warned British negotiators that they should reach a deal with Spain as soon as possible, and assumed all of the demands of the Spanish government. “Brussels completely supports Spain in this process,” EC sources said, despite the fact that the question of

Gibraltar had initially left Barnier’s team uncomfortable, given that they saw it as an added obstacle to the general difficulty of reaching a Brexit deal. A British spokesperson opted not to evaluate the content of this specific meeting, but did say that “constructive conversations” were taking place. All the same, Spain is finding unforeseen difficulties in the talks. In an interview with the news agency EFE, the Spanish secretary of state for the EU, Marco Aguiriano, explained that the British government had only sent the first papers to Madrid 10 days ago, after six rounds of talks about Gibraltar – and that these documents held surprises for Spain. “They’d taken things out that they had said to us before and added others that they had never mentioned at all,” Aguiriano stated. Spanish demands have not changed, although the level of ambition is evolving in order to not frustrate any possibilities of success. As such, there is little hope that these talks will see agreement on a joint use of the airport in Gibraltar between Spain and the UK. The government of Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez is seeking to reduce the wealth gap between inhabitants of Gibraltar and neighbouring Campo de Gibraltar, given that the latter suffers high rates of unemployment and poverty. The areas where Spain is seeking improvements include tobacco

smuggling, low tax rates in Gibraltar (which encourage Spanish companies to set up there), environmental issues (pollutants discharged by Gibraltar that affect Algeciras Bay) and the rights of Spanish people. Both London and Madrid want to protect the rights of Spanish workers who cross the border every day (between 10,000 and 12,000, according to the Spanish government; fewer than 9,000 according to figures from Gibraltar), and of Gibraltarians who have interests in Spain. In order to facilitate this, negotiators are planning a pact on Gibraltar that will be annexed to the general Brexit deal, as well as a memorandum of understanding between Spain and the United Kingdom with regard to bilateral issues. This is where, for example, the role of citizens’ liaison officer would be set out, an official who would be there to guarantee citizens’ rights and ensure that people could cross the border without issues. On the day that the UK leaves the EU – in principle, 30th March, 2019 – the frontier will become an external European Union border.

Challenges Given that these are decisive moments for the process, there have been a number of key meetings. Last week, Barnier spoke to the Spanish

economy minister, Nadia Calviño, about the “serious economic challenges created by Brexit.” And last week, the interior minister, Fernando Grande-Marlaska, met with his British opposite number, Sajid Javid, with whom he discussed the security issues thrown up by the process. That day also saw a meeting between Spanish Foreign Minister Josep Borrell and his opposite number, Jeremy Hunt, in New York. And in the same week, Barnier met with Industry Minister Reyes Maroto. Gibraltar has expressed its discomfort with a format (Spain-UK, or even Brussels-Spain-UK) that excludes it from negotiations. A spokesperson from the Gibraltarian government argued that all the issues under discussion are under its jurisdiction. The British government has always stated that the government of Chief Minister Fabian Picardo is always involved in the talks. In order to tackle this unease, the UK’s Brexit minister, Dominic Raab, met last Wednesday with Picardo. Despite the advances, the main obstacle in negotiations over Gibraltar has nothing to do with the issues between Spain and the UK. What presents a greater risk at the moment is the lack of any Brexit deal at all. Both the Spanish and the European negotiators know that their ongoing talks could be completely derailed.

Bodies of 11 migrants recovered off Morocco coast The bodies of 11 migrants have been recovered and another 32 people were rescued in the sea north of Morocco, authorities in the North African country said recently. A boat carrying migrants ran into trouble last week off the coast of Nador, in the northeast of the kingdom, local authorities told AFP. “Thirty-two sub-Saharan Africans were saved and the bodies of 11 migrants were recovered,” the same source said, without giving further details. The death toll was put at 34 dead by organisations that aid migrants. Spanish rights activist Helena Maleno tweeted: “34 dead, among them a baby, when a makeshift boat with 60 people on board sank… off Morocco”. Morocco has seen an influx of migrants trying to reach Europe, most of them on boats bound for Spain or via the Spanish enclaves of Ceuta and Melilla in North Africa. More than 40,000 migrants have reached Spain since the start of the year, including around 35,000 by the sea, according to the International Organization for Migration.

Spanish justice system admits it is failing gender violence victims The failure of the Spanish justice system to protect women at risk of gender violence has come under review after several women were murdered last week despite having sought protection from the state. In Bilbao, Maguette Mbeugou, 25, had her throat slit after she was denied a restraining order against her husband on the grounds that she already had plans to move to a different location with her young daughters.

records began. Legal experts agree that the system is not working, but there are multiple reasons that extend from the technical to the social: a lack of human and material resources, excessive workloads at the courts, a lack of gender perspective, and poor coordination among the agents working in various fields. The Female Judge Association of Spain (AMJE) has asked authorities to

“This is a failure of justice in capital letters. Mbeugou had asked for protection from the courts and did not receive it,” said Juan Luis Ibarra, the chief justice at the Basque Country’s regional High Court, who apologized to the woman’s family for the tragic oversight. Mbeugou was not the only victim of domestic violence that week. In just 48 hours, three women and two children have been murdered in Spain, bringing this year’s tally to 38, and to 962 since

adopt 16 measures to fight sexist violence, and to provide the necessary funds for them. The priorities include prevention and awareness campaigns focusing on children and youth, but also on the teaching community. The AMJE also wants the children of victims to be recognized as victims themselves, to increase the number of specialized courts, and to introduce mandatory training for judges, prosecutors, lawyers and medical

experts. In Castellón, a man killed his two- and six-year-old daughters in the middle of the night and then jumped out the window to his death. The mother had requested protection from the courts after her ex-husband reportedly told her in February: “You can say goodbye to the girls, I’m going to destroy what you love the most and you’re going to be left all alone. I’ll end up in jail, and everyone will be dead,” he said, according to the police complaint filed by the woman. Despite this, her request was denied. Four hours later, a woman named Nuria Alonso was stabbed to death by her ex-partner in Maracena, Granada. She had filed complaints against him twice, once for gender violence, but he had been acquitted. The victim was not placed under any kind of program for at-risk women. That same day, in Bilbao, Maguette Mbeugou’s husband slit her throat, nine months after she had reported him to the police. The judge who saw the complaint refused to issue a restraining order, and the prosecution did not request protection measures. At a later trial, the husband was acquitted of threat charges. In the early hours of the Thursday, the police found Manuela C. S. lying in a pool of blood inside a home in Torrox, Málaga. She had been stabbed to death by her partner, whom she had reported

months earlier for making threats. A court had issued a restraining order, but the couple had moved in together again. All three dead women, as well as the mother of the two dead children, had filed complaints against the alleged killers.

Risk detection Octavio Salazar, a legal expert specializing in gender issues, says that the tools are there to prevent such cases, but they are not being used. Like Ibarra, he feels that the first “technical” mistake lies in the risk-detection systems. A first assessment is conducted by the police through a 50-question form that victims have to fill out. The results are fed into a computer system that assigns a risk level, from low to extreme. The result is conveyed to judicial authorities in a report, and judges may request additional information from expert units attached to the court, if these exist. These expert units, which include physicians, psychologists and social workers, were created in 2004, yet they have not been introduced in all of Spain’s regions. Even where they exist, they do not follow common criteria or enjoy the same kind of resources. “These units need to be activted, but with training in gender issues,” says Inmaculada Montalbán, a former

president of the Observatory against Gender Violence, which is attached to the General Council of the Judiciary, the judiciary watchdog of Spain. “This is what helps us understand certain situations that seem difficult to comprehend, such as a woman’s decision to move in with her attacker again.” Octavio Salazar underscores another problem, which is “the lack of credibility granted to women, which is part of a sexist legal culture that is still very much present among judges.” And he is talking about both male and female judges. Flor de Torres, the deputy prosecutor for violence against women in Andalusia, adds that another difficult issue is getting offenders to change their ways. The lack of social integration leads to high recidivism rates. This expert said that, according to her own experience, between 50 percent and 60 percent of protection and restraining orders are broken. Another problem is that many allegedly battered women refuse to testify against their abusers in court, making it difficult to secure a conviction. They are not strong in this process, they are not empowered, they are scared,” says De Torres. This leads to what she calls “macrovictims,” women who suffer abuse again, either from the same partner or from other recidivist abusers.

“How can I possibly sell my home, when I don’t live here?” I hear you ask. “ It is such a stressful time, trying to organize everything when I live so far away,” I hear you sigh. Don’t worry! The process is much easier than you think. HERE ARE 5 STEPS FOR A SUCCESSFUL SALE: 1. Have your documents at the ready! You’ll need: . The Escritura (Title Deeds) And don’t panic if you can’t find the original. You can always go back to the Notary where you signed and request a duplicate. On some occasions, you can sell with just a Land Registry Search. . N.I.E. Certificates. If you can’t find them and have been registered with the Spanish Inland Revenue, you don’t need to apply for a duplicate, you just need to request your Tax Labels “Etiquetas.” . Habitation Certificate. This is obtained from the Town Hall, through a local Architect. . Energy Efficiency Certificate. This too is obtained from an Architect.

. A utility receipt for: Water, Electric, Gas, Community Fees. . Latest Suma receipt. This is the equivalent of the Council Tax. . For the day of completion, you will need your original Passport, as proof of identity. 2. If you’re intentions are to transfer your funds back to the U.K., after you’ve completed your sale, speak to a currency company like MoneyCorp as far in advance as possible, as you will need to set up an account with them. They will be able to offer you a much better deal than the local banks, to move your money back. 3. Once you are close to your completion date, go to your local bank to stop all direct debits. You’ll want to do this, just a couple of days in advance of the big day. 4. Organize the removal of your furnishings and/or personal effects. If you need boxes, go to the local supermarkets. They usually leave their unwanted boxes outside. I’m sure you’ve seen them! 5. If you can’t be in Spain for completion, leave Power Of Attorney to sell, with your trusted Lawyer. Bear in mind, costings do vary from Lawyer to Lawyer. So there you have it…. Simple really! But most importantly is not to stress out, about your impending move. Try to enjoy the journey, and go with the flow! SELLING YOUR HOME? ENJOY THE JOURNEY! 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.esto request the link. Think property?

Charity walk On Saturday 20th October a walk of approximately 8km in total is being organised by the Torrevieja Easy Walking Group with the purpose of raising funds for the chosen charity of the current Torrevieja U3A President. The walk will be open to members of the Torrevieja U3A, especially the members of the other walking groups. Fuller details can be obtained by contacting the Easy Walkers group or via the website. For simplicity, there will be no sponsorship involved. Monies for the charity will be raised entirely by donations from people involved in the organising or actually taking part in the walk. The walk is in favour of the San Jose Obrero Children’s

Orphanage in Orihuela, which cares for up to 68 children between the ages of 6 and 19 and who have come from different backgrounds; abandonment, poverty and cruelty, etc. The orphanage is

managed entirely by the churches in Orihuela and is completely self-funded with no official support whatsoever. It is hoped that the walk will attract a good number of participants and that the orphanage will benefit from a sizable donation.

Supreme Court rules Franco’s family demands reburial with full military honours all unwanted sexual If the body of Spanish dictator Francisco Franco is finally transferred out of the Valley of the Fallen monument, his family wants him to be reburied with “military honours” at a major landmark in downtown Madrid. Spanish Congress recently approved a plan by the Socialist Party (PSOE) government to exhume Franco’s remains from the Valley of the Fallen monument, located north of the capital. But the dictator’s seven grandchildren oppose the move and have filed a petition with the Ombudsman’s Office to stop the exhumation. If their petition fails, Franco’s family say they want the dictator to be buried

inside La Almudena cathedral in the centre of Madrid, and with full “military honours.” According to the grandchildren, under a 2010 decree Franco is entitled to a military funeral with the “complete national anthem, volley shots and a cannon gun salute.” This decree states that military funerals are granted to the Spanish king, the royal family, the infantas of Spain, the prime minister, the defence minister, the chiefs of staff of the army, navy and air force, as well as general officers of the armed forces. The government of Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has promised that the remains of the dictator will be removed

with “dignity and respect,” but there was never any mention of a funeral with military honours. Indeed this would contradict the aim of the exhumation, which is to strip the dictator of his privileged position at the Valley of the Fallen monument. More than 33,000 victims of the Spanish Civil War are buried at the site but only Franco and José Antonio Primo de Rivera, the founder of the Falange, Spain’s fascistinspired political party, have a marked grave. Franco received a military funeral when he died on 23rd November, 1975. His coffin was taken on a military vehicle from the Victory Arch in La Moncloa in Madrid to the Valley of the Fallen monument north of the city. The thenking of Spain Juan Carlos and Queen Sofía attended a service in Franco’s honour and a military parade was held before his coffin. The family’s request to have the dictator reburied at La Almudena cathedral also poses a challenge for the government, which wants to stop the new resting place from become a pilgrimage site for Franco followers. The cathedral is located in the heart of Madrid, in a popular tourist spot where there is the risk that it could turn into an attraction. The Franco family has a crypt at the cathedral which holds the remains of Franco’s daughter, Carmen Franco, as well as a vault at El Pardo cemetery, where Franco’s wife Carmen Polo is buried.

contact is a crime

Spain Supreme Court has ruled that any and all physical contact of a sexual nature, where deliberate, and irrespective of how brief it is, counts as a criminal offence. This ground-breaking and necessary verdict means grabbing someone's bottom, breast or legs in a pub, a crowd or on public transport, for example, is no longer simply a civil offence but attracts criminal charges on the grounds of 'sexual abuse'. This interpretation of Article 181 of the Penal Code clarifies the situation for many victims – the vast majority women, with the bulk of offenders being men – since verdicts in lower courts have varied between jailing the authors of this behaviour for sexual abuse and dismissing it as 'nothing'. The latter verdict was particularly the case when groping was very brief and the court considered it had been too fleeting for the victim to suffer any psychological damage. But now, however swiftly it happens, it is still considered a crime. The severity of it dictates whether the offender is sentenced to the minimum of six months in jail or the maximum of two years – although a custodial term of less than two years does not have to be served if it is for a first offence – or a daily fine of between 18 and 24 months. Prior to the Supreme Court verdict, unsolicited and unwanted groping was considered a 'minor civil offence' of 'humiliation', 'duress' or 'coercion', and

only then if it was very obviously forceful and lasting at least several seconds. Sexual intention is required for the offence of 'abuse' to apply, and it must be possible for an objective viewer to recognise it as such from a description or from hypothetical slow-motion footage, although it is not necessary for there to have been any witnesses. The legal precedent was set during a recent case which ended up in the Supreme Court on appeal three years after the alleged offence – a man had reportedly followed a woman into the ladies' toilets in a bar in Villanueva (Córdoba province) and attempted to enter with her, and briefly brushed against her chest and waist when trying to get hold of the keys. The actual physical contact was not considered 'sexual abuse', since it was not thought that the accused had deliberately aimed for the woman's breasts and waist, but that the contact had been accidental – however, the decision not to charge him in respect of this contact did not take into account its brevity, saying that if the intention had been there, the fleeting nature of it would have had no bearing on the offence being one of 'sex abuse'. It is not clear what his intention was in following the woman into the toilets or attempting to get the keys off her, or whether he was charged separately in this connection.

Violence is not the way, says Spanish PM

The Spanish government has warned Catalan premier Quim Torra to restore order after violent protesters surrounded the regional parliament in Barcelona recently. Hundreds of radical separatists defied the Catalan police, attempting to break into the building on the first anniversary of an unauthorized referendum on independence. At around 9.30pm, hooded activists broke through a police cordon and marched to the doors of the building crying “Occupy parliament!” Spain’s Prime MInister Pedro Sánchez, from the Socialist Party (PSOE), blamed Torra for encouraging the violent protesters. In a message on Twitter, Sánchez wrote: “Premier Torra must fulfill his responsibilities and not jeopardize political normalization by encouraging radicals to lay siege to

institutions that represent all Catalans. Violence is not the way.” Deputy Prime Minister Carmen Calvo said that “as the top authority in Catalonia, Torra has to protect the security of all Catalans.” “He has to understand that what happened (yesterday) is partly his responsibility,” she added, before appearing at the Forbes Women’s Summit. Earlier, Torra encouraged supporters of Catalan independence to continue “putting on the pressure” after pro-independence groups cut off major roads, blocked the AVE high-speed rail link and organized street marches. PSOE secretary general José Luis Ábalos initially dismissed suggestions that Torra’s comments were a “call to violence,” but after last night’s protest the government has toughened its stance.

Following the unprecedented scenes, Deputy PM Calvo said Torra cannot “fail in something so important as security.” Torra is widely considered a hard-line separatist but is now viewed by these groups as a traitor to “the spirit of 1st October” for failing to openly disobey the state’s institutions, and for using the Catalan regional police against them at a Saturday march in Barcelona that descended into violence. Cries of “disobey or resign!” were heard during the evening demonstration despite Torra’s earlier attempt to reach out to radical sectors by telling them to “keep putting on the pressure, you are doing the right thing by putting on pressure.” During his visit to New York in September, Sánchez warned he would call new regional elections if Torra continued to “prioritize conflict.”

David and Victoria Beckham’s six-bed mansion boasting nine bathrooms, a library and swimming pool sold for £25million David and Victoria Beckham are leaving their Beverly Hills mansion they bought back in 2007 for £17million The Beckhams bought the luxurious home - boasting nine bathrooms, a library and a swimming pool - back in 2007. At the time, footie ace David had just signed a £192million contract with LA Galaxy. Now, the power couple are saying goodbye to their Los Angeles pad as they continue to spend more time in Florida. And it’s quids in for Becks who is thought to have paid the asking price of £17million. So far it’s unknown who the lucky buyer is.

Tom Cruise hasn’t seen daughter Suri, 12, for years because she’s not a Scientologist' The Hollywood actor, 56, was last pictured with Suri five years ago following his divorce from Katie Holmes, who got primary custody of their daughter. Actor Tom Cruise has rejected his daughter Suri because she is not being raised as a Scientologist, reports claim. The star, 56, could see 12-year-old Suri on 10 days out of every month but has not had contact in years, Us Weekly alleges. A source told the mag: “Every person is allowed to see their child if they wanted to. He chooses not to because she is not a Scientologist.” Cruise and his third wife Katie Holmes divorced in 2012 after six years of marriage and the actress was granted primary custody of their daughter. Cruise has not been pictured with Suri for five years, but exactly when he last saw her is unknown.

John McCririck’s frail appearance on Big Brother’s Bit On The Side worries viewers The legendary pundit, who battled severe flu last Christmas, was almost unrecognisable on the Big Brother spinoff John McCririck made a rare appearance on TV last night to join the Big Brother’s Bit On The Side panel to give his opinion on the latest happenings in the house. But viewers at home appeared to be more concerned about his gaunt appearance than what he had to say about the current contestants. The 78-year-old racing pundit and former CBB housemate, who battled severe flu at Christmas, recently lost three stone and his maroon blazer swallowed his frail frame, while his hat appeared far too big. One viewer tweeted: “Hope John McCririck is really on the mend. Doesn’t look well at all.”

Christopher Maloney missing after getting robbed and failing to turn up to important gig. The X Factor star told a friend he got robbed hours before failing to turn up to a gig, sparking concern for his welfare. The X Factor star failed to turn up to a gig he was meant to perform at on Thursday night, and reportedly told his BFF Mark Byron he’d been robbed earlier in the afternoon. He and Mark had enjoyed a champagne-fuelled lunch on Wednesday, but Chris didn’t get back in touch with his bestie when he failed to attend the cabaret evening he’d been scheduled to guest star in at London’s Brasserie Zédel in Soho. Mark raised the alarm on Twitter shortly before 7pm last night, telling followers: “If anyone has seen a Christopher Maloney please contact me as a matter of urgency!” Luckily, Christopher’s friend Gemma Oaten - who did perform at the cabaret evening - has said she has heard from the missing star.

Samantha Markle launches fresh attack on estranged half-sister Meghan Markle and Doria Ragland. Samantha, 53, praised dad Thomas Markle while taking a swipe at Meghan’s mum Doria Ragland Samantha, who shares the same father as Meghan, accused her sibling of ghosting their family and claimed Doria Ragland wasn’t around very much during Meghan's childhood. “The world does not know that our dad raised her most of the time without the input of her mother especially from age 12 through high school and he gave her everything she had and is”, she ranted on her private Twitter account. “She was never raised as an only child. Truth kids! He is amazing and successful.” She added: “Dad pretty much raised her most of her life on his own and Doria was not around very much.” Meghan and mum Doria share a very close bond, with reports claiming she may even be moving to the UK on a permanent basis to be closer to her daughter.

Elche teenage tells of cult danger A young woman from Elche lured by a sect in Perú has spoken out about her 18-month ordeal at the hands of its leader, who raped and beat the females he captured. Patricia Aguilar Poveda will be 20 this coming January, which will be exactly two years since she fled her southern Alicante province home to join a cult which calls itself Gnosis and whose head, Félix Manrique, 34, who claimed to be a guru, convinced her that she had been chosen by God to help repopulate the earth. Patricia and several other women were held at first in a flat in Lima, where neighbours described them as walking two steps behind Manrique in a submissive manner, covered in bruises, and reported screams of pain coming from the property every night. The other women had several children, fathered by Manrique, whom neighbours said were extremely and unusually aggressive towards other kids, and did not go to school. By the time they were all moved to huts in a hazardous part of the Peruvian Amazon, Patricia was also pregnant by her captor. She was found in June after her father, Alberto, travelled to Perú and staged a full police investigation. Alberto paid for all the women and children to be flown to Lima, where they are being cared for in a women's shelter. Patricia has spoken for the first time on a video, largely narrated by her cousin Noelia Bru, who reads out Patricia’s own

words before the young woman speaks briefly at the end, thanking everyone for their concern and saying she will not give any interviews until she is fully recovered psychologically. At first, after travelling to Perú, Patricia refused to be rescued, even going to the Spanish embassy in Lima voluntarily to stress she was not kidnapped and was there of her own free will. However, the birth of her daughter, Naaomi, changed all that, Patricia says. At first feeling protected, over time, she began to discover Manrique was not her saviour after all and began to realise she had been duped and was in danger. Admitting she and the other women were beaten and raped, the 19-year-old described her terror at giving birth in the jungle, with only a native tribeswoman to help her. She has a congenital heart condition, meaning labour was particularly risky for her. “I was frightened because of the health issue, the lack of food, and frightened of him and his constant aggressiveness. I gave birth on my own and without any trained medical help,” she reveals. Patricia had thought, before running away from home, that she was in a longdistance relationship with Manrique, and that he was her boyfriend. Patricia was found alone in a hut in the depths of the Amazon looking after five children, including her own baby, born a month before she was rescued. The children had been forced to work all day peeling coffee beans which were sold on

markets to earn money for Manrique. Threats Patricia admits that even when she was first rescued, the Stockholm Syndrome remained, although deep down she felt relieved. Manrique suspected the police were on his trail and warned the women to cover up for him, saying they could be jailed and separated and kept in appalling conditions if officers took them in. It took some time before the women admitted their ordeal, as they were afraid Manrique’s prognostications would come true. Patricia has urged Peruvian authorities not to release Manrique under any circumstances, because he is dangerous. Initially still trying to protect him, she did not give the full story to National Police or the courts in Spain, but has since changed her statement and described her suffering in full. “It’s not easy getting out of there. I was scared and (Manrique) is dangerous. He threatened me many times, and I was frightened and worried,” she says. “It’s not that he’s a flight risk: it’s because, if he’s released, he’ll disappear and never be found again,” Patricia warns. She and baby Naaomi – whose birth was completely unknown to her family until they were found – are now in good physical health, although Patricia is undergoing intense counselling with a specialist in sect victims.

Iberdrola improves electricity supply to Orihuela Costa The Mayor of Orihuela, Emilio Bascuñana, has announced the improvements in the electricity supply facilities in Orihuela Costa that will take place over the next three months. The announcement was made alongside César Calomarde, Area Manager of Iberdrola Distribución for Alicante. The Mayor said: “These works are carried out to guarantee the electric supply to our coastal citizens. As a result of our commitment, and the interest of the councillors and of my staff to improved services, we are doing this initiative in collaboration with Iberdrola.” The works, which have already begun, require an investment by Iberdrola of half a million euros, intended for the renovation of approximately three kilometres of medium voltage underground lines in Orihuela Costa. Five projects will be carried out at different points along the coast, replacing the underground wiring of around fifteen streets. The replacement will allow an increase in the quality of the supply by increasing the reliability and capacity of the Cabo Roig, Campoamor, Playa Flamenca and La Florida facilities. César Calomarde explained that this investment “is the confirmation of the effort that the company is making to improve the service it provides in Orihuela and the commitment that was made a few months ago to invest in the city to provide it with better electrical installations that provide services to almost 90,000 supply points in the city”.

These works are in addition to those that the company began to make at the beginning of the year after the signing of the agreement with the City Council of Orihuela for which it plans to carry out an investment of more than two million euros in the construction of new buildings in the coming years. This includes underground lines of medium and low voltage in the historic centre of the city, in the adaptation of several transformation centres and in the reform of medium voltage overhead lines on the outskirts of Orihuela and the rural area of the municipality. These works will allow an improvement in the quality of the local electricity supply by using more advanced designs and technologies that are more respectful to the environment, and meet the growth in electricity demand expected in the coming years. Works programme The fifteen streets that will be affected by the works are the following: Cabo Roig : Calle Carriles, Dehesa de Campoamor: Calle Miguel de Unamuno, Calle Ramón Sijé and Ronda Ramón de Campoamor, Miguel de Unamuno Street, Jorge Manrique Street and Calle Tirso de Molina Street. Playa Flamenca: Calle de las Orquídeas and Calle José María Sicilia and La Florida: Florida J4 Urbanization, Jupiter Street, Urano Street, Neptuno Street, Mercurio Street and Osa Menor Street.

(2016) movie PICK Now You See10pmMe- Channel British murder suspect 4

arrested in Spain

After fleeing from a stage show, the illusionists (Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson) known as the Four Horsemen find themselves in more trouble in Macau, China. Devious tech wizard Walter Mabry (Daniel Radcliffe) forces the infamous magicians to steal a powerful chip that can control all of the world’s computers. Meanwhile, vengeful FBI agent Dylan Rhodes (Mark Ruffalo) hatches his own plot against Thaddeus Bradley (Morgan Freeman), the man he blames for the death of his father.

Craig Porter has been arrested on Spain’s Costa del Sol. The Briton, 36, was cuffed after being intercepted by police on the Ronda road while travelling in a speeding white Seat Ateca. The arrest took place at around 6am last Saturday morning and two other Brits were travelling in the car. None of the trio had papers to identify them, saying their documents were in a house in Estepona. The three were taken to police stations where the driver, 25, tested positive for alcohol but was not over the limit. It was during the processing of the men that police realised one of them was Craig Ian Porter, who was wanted for a suspected attempted murder after allegedly stealing a car from a group of Spaniards in Estepona before hitting one of them and driving off. Porter is believed to have been the driver of the vehicle, which was later left abandoned.

The warrant for his arrest was issued on 24th August. Luckily the Spaniard was discharged although he was in a serious condition and was hospitalised for a week. Porter has also had his passport confiscated since the end of 2014 over his alleged involvement in the disappearance of Agnese Klavina. The 30-year-old Latvian was last seen on September 6 2014 at the Aqwa Mist club in Marbella. She was captured by CCTV being put into a Mercedes S63 AMG which was being driven by Westley Capper and Porter. The prosecutor’s office is seeking 12 years each for Capper and Porter for kidnapping. To this day her body has never been found, but she is feared to have been killed. The case is pending trial at the Audiencia de Málaga. Then two years ago, Capper and Porter hit headlines again after mowing down

Fatima Dorado Para in a Bentley. The 40year-old Bolivian mother had just left work and was crossing the road on San Pedro de Alcantara’s boulevard when she was hit at high speed. She later died at the Costa del Sol hospital. The cold-hearted Brits fled immediately to Diana Park where they enjoyed a beer and a curry. Capper was driving at the time, under the influence of cocaine and alcohol. But prosecutors only requested a two-and-a-half year sentence and damages of €360,000 for the family.

Parental control of under-14s social media access Spain’s new data protection law will prevent children under 14 years old from using social media without their parents’ express consent, a year older than at present. For the moment, any teenager of 13 years old or more can set up their own accounts on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and other media without an adult’s consent, but they will have to be at least 14 to do so from the end of this year. The data protection law is due to be implemented before 2019 in line with a European Union regulation, which gives member States a margin of between 13 and 16 years of age as the minimum for social media use without parental authorisation. Among the terms of the new law, which Spanish Parliament is working on at the moment, publishing photographs

of minors – defined as anyone aged younger than 18 – could be considered a breach of their fundamental rights and therefore a criminal offence. As yet, the broad scope of this clause has not been revealed. Fines for failing to comply with the data protection law could be up to €10 million, or 2 per cent of either turnover or profits if the offender is a company, although warnings, smaller fines and other measures will be taken first. The new legislation will, additionally, allow workers the right to switch off when they are not officially on duty – for example, an employee working a nine-tofive schedule would legally be able to refuse to take a job-related call from the boss or answer emails or calls from customers at six in the evening, or whilst on annual holiday.

It is likely they may be allowed to do so voluntarily, but cannot be disciplined for failing to answer an urgent company email whilst on a beach during their paid leave. Also, it should not affect workers with flexible hours or on call, as long as this is part of their role and agreed between employees and companies. According to Spain’s socialist government, the broad terms of the data protection law have been agreed by all parties in Parliament.

Cooking for Cancer As part of Breast Cancer Awareness month, this week we are featuring some recipes recommended by cancer charities such as MacMillan Cancer Support. These recipes are suitable for all the family, but are especially relevant for those currently going through treatment. Eating a balanced diet is sensible advice for anyone, but it is even more important if you’ve been diagnosed with cancer. The body needs vital nutrients and vitamins in order to keep healthy, fight infections and perform at its best. When you are already ill, eating well can help ease the symptoms of your disease, help you recover better from treatments, as well as give you more energy and help maintain a healthy body weight. However, cancer treatments can make you feel nauseous and leave you with little appetite. These recipes are easy to prepare, can be cooked in advance and frozen and are full of nutritious healthy ingredients. Method: Shred the meat from the rotisserie chicken, omitting the skin and bones. Saute the onion, celery and carrots with the oil over a low to medium heat until the onions turn translucent (about 10 minutes). Add the broth and chicken and simmer for another 10 minutes. Then add in the chicken and beans and cook for five minutes, season to taste and serve.

CHILI CON CARNE Recommended by MacMillan Cancer Support

CHICKEN AND WHITE BEAN SOUP Recommended by the American Cancer Society Chicken soup is very soothing, packed with protein and easy to consume. Add in some white beans for extra flavour and even more protein, or substitute the beans for some noodles if you prefer. This soup is particularly easy to make because it uses store-bought rotisserie chicken.

Ingredients (serves 6): 3 cups of rotisserie chicken or chopped cooked chicken breast 6 cups of low sodium chicken broth 2 cups water 15oz can white beans, rinsed 1 Tbsp of oil 2 stalks of celery, chopped 3 carrots, peeled and chopped 1 onion, diced Salt and pepper to taste

One-pot dishes are great when you’re short on time and energy. This chili can be made as fiery as you want and can be served with rice, tacos or flour tortillas with shredded cheese and guacamole. It also freezes well for easy future dinners. Ingredients (serves 4): ½ pound of lean ground beef 1 Tbsp of oil 1 onion (diced) 1 clove garlic 1 14oz can chopped tomatoes ½ can (3oz) tomato paste 1 cup mushrooms 1 red bell pepper sliced

½ tsp chili powder ½ tsp ground cumin ½ tsp ground cilantro 1 14oz can of kidney beans, drained 1 chopped chili pepper (if desired) salt and pepper to taste Method: Sauté the onions and garlic in a pan over a medium heat until they become translucent. Add the ground beef and stir until browned (about five minutes), then

add the spices and chili (if using) and mix thoroughly. Add the tomato paste and canned tomatoes and simmer gently for around 10 to 15 minutes. Add the bell peppers, mushrooms and kidney beans and cook for a further five to 10 minutes. Serve as desired. Turn to pages 53 and 54 for more on Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Business Profile

Osteria Amore, amazing food, made with love Award winning local chef Robert Johansen has opened his fourth restaurant in San Miguel. Robert has a wealth of international experience, and has been Head Chef and Patron Chef of some of the most renowned restaurants on the Costa Blanca. He currently owns and runs three amazing local eateries; Beer and Burger, La Cuevas Tapas and Restaurant Las Cuevas. All offering very different culinary and overall dining experiences for all occasions from a Friday night catch up with friends, to a leisurely lunch or a special celebration meal. However, Osteria Amore celebrates Robert’s love of another Mediterranean cuisine, that of Italy. Endless summers spent in Tuscany, have fuelled Robert’s love of traditional Italian dishes and the Italian way of eating, sharing the experience and firmly focused on simple good food, good wine and good company. Therefore, the new restaurant is bases on traditional, rustic Italian eating places called Osterias which are less formal than a ristorante or trattoria. Osterias are informal, often family run and historically serve good wine and simple food. Menus tend to be short with emphasis on pasta and home-cooked local dishes at affordable prices. Robert has

called the restaurant Osteria Amore, Amore of course meaning love. The name has been carefully chosen to reflect how the food is created out of a passion for cooking, a love of fresh ingredients and a desire to feed people and make them happy. Osteria Amore offers a considerable array of pastas, pizzas and traditional Italian dishes and the menu also has a wider Mediterranean twist, with Spanish classics such as prawns in garlic. The pizzas are made and cooked to order in the specially installed pizza oven and include Italian classics and more contemporary toppings. In addition to the a la carte menu,

Oseria Amore offers a dedicated Fish and Seafood Menu del Dia at €15.95 a general Menu del Dia at €9.95 and a Menu de la Noche at 19.95 The restaurant also caters for diners with special dietary requirements. Wines are sourced locally from Yecla and are all organic or made in an environmentally friendly bodega. Osteria Amore is open Monday to Saturday from 10am for brunch and the kitchen closes at 11pm. The restaurant can be found on the ring road of San Miguel, Ronda Oeste, 34. Call 600 001 117 for more information or to book your table. For further details see the Facebook page.

Business Profile

He says I am imagining it

Lost our spark

My husband and I moved to Spain a year ago, and bought a business. We took on staff, and there is one particular girl who I never liked. After a while my husband said that there was no need for me to go in to help. I suspect there is something between them - when I turn up, they exchange looks, and then she leaves the room. I saw a text message which thanked him for running her home one night. When I asked him about it, he said there was no such message, and my suspicions were all in my head. Our marriage wasn’t good when we lived in the UK, and we moved here for a fresh start.

My wife and I have been married for 9 years. We have three children and life is very demanding. There is no time for ourselves outside of our children’s lives with all their hobbies and interests. We have considered splitting up, but acknowledge that we still love each other and are still friends. What can we do?

If you are sure that he is having an affair, you need to gather as much evidence of his infidelity as you can, before you confront him. Tell him you’re going to be helping out in the business again. If he is innocent, this shouldn't be a problem. This will give you a better understanding of what is really going on.

When children come along it is all too easy to focus on them and in doing so, you can lose sight of yourselves as a couple. You have acknowledged that you both still care about each other, so you now need to work on getting things back on track. Why not go on a weekly date night with your wife, (and no kids) - make an effort to dress up and go dancing or have a meal together. You could also ask family to occasionally help out with the children, and plan the odd weekend away. You are great parents, but you also need your relationship with your wife to be loving and solid, otherwise ultimately there may be no family.

Links between Hearing loss & Dementia

ecent research by the Alzheimer’s Society adds to a growing body of research suggesting that hearing loss is a risk factor for dementia. By following people over 65 with and without hearing problems for up to 25 years, researchers found that those with hearing problems were more likely to develop dementia. Although the study cannot tell us whether using hearing aids would help to bring the risk of dementia back down, it does hint that this might be the case, a finding that should be followed up with high priority. 1 in 6 people experience hearing loss. 80% do nothing about it. Adults with mind loss are 2x more likely to develop dementia, with moderate loss 3x more likely to develop dementia, & with severe loss 5x more likely to develop dementia. With GP the numbers of people developing dementia set to reach 1 million by 2021, it’s vital to explore all the links between dementia and other health conditions so we can look for new ways to delay or even prevent the condition.

It is scientifically proven that with hearing loss, you misinterpret sounds and this can lead to confusion. Subsequently this will result in isolation and depression to which are among the variable risk factors for dementia. But by building a “cognitive reserve” which means strengthening the brain’s networks, so it can continue to function in later life despite damage, will help. And to be able to do this you need to be able to hear correctly. The sooner you get the hearing aids, the better, because it reduces further hearing loss& other health conditions. Aids can have multiple programs and I can choose which program depending on the environment.Don’t let your hearing loss affect your brain or you wellbeing.

Instead of hearing loss, think about what you gain when you hear. Let us at Apple Hearing & Healthcare help you. Apple Hearing & Healthcare offer: Free hearing tests, Free 30day trials with money back guarantee, Free advice & demonstrations, Free home visits, Free lifetime aftercare service, Repair & servicing.

WHY CHOOSE MEDCARE DENTAL? Cosmetic and traditional dentistry Medcare’s dental department has been an integral part of the clinic in Benijófar since the private practice was established in 2005. The dental team are busy five days a week providing all manner of treatments to hundreds of patients each month and soon hope to extend the clinic hours with the additional of a fourth dentist. Lead dentist Tim trained in the UK and had decades of experience in his practice in Lancashire. He is popular with the patients for his kind and sympathetic manner, his patience with nervous people and the way he explains the treatments. Mrs J said just last week, “My treatment from start to finish was carried out by Tim with excellent care and attention. Nothing was too much trouble. I would highly recommend Tim and his team!” As well as the constant flow of appointments for fillings etc., he is now seeing more patients wanting cosmetic procedures that were not possible or were too costly in the past. One of these is adult teeth straightening. Once a huge expense and only for the rich and famous, now thanks to new technologies, you can straighten the front ‘social six’ teeth, those that show when you smile (or more) in as little as 4 months! And with ‘invisible’ transparent trays and wires, there is no need for shame or embarrassment. The cost is equally impressive, being far less than traditional orthodontic methods, mainly because there are fewer visits over a shorter treatment time. You can check if you are eligible for this fantastic treatment in

a FREE dental examination. Another very popular procedure is teeth whitening. This can be a scary prospect; after all, the clinician is putting a bleach into your mouth! But within a professional environment, with world leading products, you are in safe hands at Medcare. You can choose either the in-clinic treatment which is done all in one sitting from just 195 euros! Or following a consultation and fitting for a teeth tray, you can take away a home kit for just 160 euros! Dental Implant expert Daniel is a master of his craft. He creates single or multiple implants for patients that look and feel just like natural teeth. Made from the newest composite material that has a similar translucence to real teeth, giving them that natural look, he will mould and fit new teeth in as little as two appointments. Medcare offers dental implants from just 995 euros each! New to Medcare! The COMPLETE Beautiful Smile Package! Get your teeth whitened and your lips filled! Contact the clinic for more details. Medcare offers patients a ‘one stop shop’ for a number of medical and cosmetic requirements. Patients can take advantage of free consultations with physiotherapist, Marcus, with psychotherapist, Steve. Also, they can see the Aesthetics doctor or cosmetic surgeon. Call 966 860 258 or email doctors@medcarespain.com. Open Monday to Friday 9am-5pm.

Breast Cancer Awareness month Breast Cancer Awareness Month is marked in countries across the world every October. Activities throughout October help to increase attention and support for the awareness, early detection and treatment as well as palliative care of this disease. There are about 1.38 million new cases and 458,000 deaths from breast cancer each year. Breast cancer is by far the most common cancer in women worldwide, both in the developed and developing countries. The three main risk factors for breast cancer 1. Being a woman – over 99% of new cases of breast cancer are in women. 2. Getting older – more than 80% of breast cancers occur in women over the age of 50. Most men who get breast cancer are over 60. 3. Significant family history – this isn’t common, around 5% of people diagnosed with breast cancer have inherited a faulty BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene. Breast cancer diagnosis Breast cancer is the most common cancer in the UK, one person is diagnosed every 10 minutes. 1 in 8 women in the UK will develop breast cancer in their lifetime. This Breast Cancer Awareness Month around 5,000 people will be diagnosed. Breast cancer and survivorship Breast cancer survival is improving and has doubled in the past 40 years in the UK. Almost 9 in 10 women survive breast cancer for five years or more. Every year around 11,500 people die from breast cancer in the UK.

An estimated 691,000 are alive in the UK after a diagnosis of breast cancer. This is predicted to rise to 840,000 in 2020. For many the overwhelming emotional and physical effects of the disease can be long-lasting. A Breast Cancer Care survey found 1 in 4 women (26%) found the end of treatment the hardest part of breast cancer and only 1 in 10 (10%) said they felt positive and ready to move on when they were discharged from hospital treatment. More than half (53%) struggled with anxiety at the end of treatment and nearly a third (31%) with depression. Breast cancer signs and symptoms Knowing the signs and symptoms of breast cancer can lead to diagnosing the cancer sooner. This can be crucial in providing more effective treatment and, ultimately, saving lives. But a Breast Cancer Care survey found a third(33%) of women aren’t regularly checking. A fifth (20%) say it’s because they don’t know how to check their breasts. Breast cancer doesn’t always mean a lump. Other less well known symptoms include a nipple becoming inverted or a change in texture of the skin. Breast cancer and younger women Around 2,200 women in the UK are diagnosed aged 39 or under, or just 4% of all cases. A Breast Cancer Care survey found just over half (53%) of younger women diagnosed with breast cancer have no discussion with healthcare professionals about fertility preservation options, which include freezing embryos or eggs.

Breast cancer and men Breast cancer in men is very rare with just 370 new cases in the UK each year, compared to nearly 55,000 new cases in women. Three quarters (75%) of male breast cancer deaths in the UK are in men aged 65 and over. A Breast Cancer Care survey found nearly three-quarters (73%) of men don’t check their breasts for signs and symptoms of breast cancer, even though the same number (73%) know that men can get the disease. Secondary breast cancer Secondary breast cancer is when breast cancer cells spread to other parts of the body, most commonly the bones, brain, lungs or liver. It cannot be cured but it can be treated, sometimes for a number of years. Two thirds (66%) of Hospital Trusts in England do not know how many of their patients have incurable

secondary breast cancer, according to Breast Cancer Care findings. It’s estimated there are around 36,000 people in the UK living with the disease, but with such incomplete data collection, we can’t be sure. Close to half (42%) of NHS Trusts and Health Boards surveyed by Breast Cancer Care do not provide specialist nursing care for people with incurable breast cancer.

BREAST CANCER SURVIVOR

As part of breast cancer awareness month, the Costa Blanca People spoke to our very own Managing Director, Claire Richards about her breast cancer journey. When and how did you first discover you had cancer? I was suffering from a pain in my right breast for a number of weeks that kept coming and going. Some days it was more painful than others and some days just a constant ache. I made an appointment with the doctor who referred me for a mammogram in Orihuela. On the day of my appointment I went to the specialist clinic in Orihuela and not the Vega Baja hospital (where I should have been) so I missed my appointment. Things cropped up and I didn't make another appointment for another month or so. When I went for the appointment I was given a mammogram and asked to wait outside for the results. I was called back in and they took four biopsies from my left breast, even though the pain was the right side. I was told the biopsies would be sent away and I would be called back for the results in about two weeks time. When I received the call to go back for the results two days later I knew there was something wrong. What were your initial feelings? I was absolutely devastated and just broke down in tears. The remainder of the session was just a blur, all I remember is the word "Cancer". The conversation then turned to urgent surgery to remove the lump (Lumpectomy) and check the lymph nodes to see if it had spread. Where did you go for help and advice in the beginning? In the beginning I was under the care of the Vega Baja hospital but I contacted two women, Donna Walsh and Maria

Wilson, whom I knew had already been through breast cancer and they helped me by being there whenever I needed to ask them anything I was unsure of and by also putting me in touch with charities and Facebook support groups. What treatment did you have to go through? How did this affect you at home or at work? I had the lumpectomy, however, the results came back that they were unable to get clear margins around the tumor and that I could opt for a further lumpectomy or a mastectomy. I opted for the latter. After the mastectomy I was referred to an Oncologist in Elche General hospital and I was given a treatment plan of six rounds of chemotherapy and 30 sessions of radiotherapy. The worst part was telling my children, at first they were all heartbroken but they totally surprised me and were so grown up about it. My daughter, who was 12 at the time, even accompanied me to some of the chemotherapy sessions to keep me company. With regards to my work life I am just so glad I have an amazing team behind me as they basically ran the business for me whilst I went through my journey. Did you get support from friends, family, colleagues? My husband was my absolute rock and was there for me every step of the way and I really don't think I could have got through it without him. I am also extremely lucky to have a great family and group of friends and colleagues that rallied round to help me too. How did you cope with losing your hair? Did you feel the need to explain if someone asked about your 'new style'?

To be honest the worst part of all the treatment was the thought of losing my hair. I shed bucket loads of tears over this and when it came down to having my head shaved I went and bought a wig. I

remember leaving the shop and looking at myself in the car visor mirror and just thinking this is not me. We went to meet a group of friends who were all very kind and said that the wig looked great but I sat there and I could feel my head getting hotter and itchier by the minute so after about an hour I pulled it off, threw it in my bag and said I would never wear it again and I never did. I decided to embrace the bald head and just live with it. I think when your head is totally bald people know why it is but as it started to grow back I had one lady approach me who said "I know it is hot here but your new haircut is a bit drastic isn't it!â&#x20AC;? Have you had to have more treatment since your breast cancer treatment concluded? Yes, I am currently in the process of breast reconstruction and back in February this year I had to have a total hysterectomy as part of my treatment. What advice would you have for other women who have concerns about cancer? Check yourself regularly and if you have any doubt at all then go and get checked. As from my experience the cancer would have remained undetected if I had not had a pain in my opposite breast. Have you made any lifestyle changes since your diagnosis and treatment? Yes I now exercise regularly and try to eat a healthy diet and stay away from processed food. Do you consider yourself lucky to have come out the other side? I consider myself extremely lucky to have come out the other side as there are lots of women who are not so fortunate. I have a totally different outlook on my life now. I live for the moment and plan to enjoy my life to the full.

Butterfly Children benefit from fundraiser Another fantastic fundraising night raised a record-breaking €7,036.14 at The IX Butterfly Charity Ball in aid of The Butterfly Children’s Charity, DEBRA. The event was held recently at La Marina Camping Resort, La Marina, organised by Mary Chambers and Sue Rogers. The glittering annual event hosted by Tommy Rogers was attended by 200 guests and they enjoyed a pool-side Cava reception followed by a three-course meal in the La Marina Restaurant and top entertainment courtesy of VJK. The Butterfly Children Charity has been supporting EB families for 25 years and was honoured this year to have Diego and his family attending the event. Diego is a 9-year-old boy with EB a devastating condition. Along with Tommy Rogers, Diego helped raise the amazing amount. His personality won over the crowd and was key to encouraging people to donate more and more. There were three winners on the Lucky Numbers competition, who won €50 each, they were: Sue Rogers, Carol Barkway and Ann Stobo and Sue and Carol kindly donated half of their winnings back to the charity. The main prize of the evening was €250 in vouchers for Zenia Boulevard, and was won by Kim and Roger Nickolds. There were many other prizes won on the night, such as a Kindle table, travel vouchers, prizes donated by hair and beauty salons and restaurants, a golfing voucher and hampers. The auction allowed many of the guests to bid for bottles of Bollinger

Champagne, green fees and buggies from La Finca Golf, Villamartin and Las Ramblas. Hotel vouchers from Sunset Beach Club, Benalmadena and the prestigious Hotel Puente Romana, Marbella were also money raising lots. Once again, this year the Golden Butterfly was a great success with 20 Butterflies available at €50 each. The guests’ generosity meant all of the golden butterflies were sold and the winner was Tanya Taylor receiving €500. There were also numerous individual donations from the guests, all of which combined to allow the charity to raise its largest amount ever in one single event. The Butterfly Children Charity would like to thank

The Organisers

everyone who worked extremely hard behind the scene to make this event such a success, Tommy Rogers who hosts this event every year. All the local business from La Marina down to the Costa del Sol who continue to donate wonderful prizes, Pedro and all his staff at La Marina Camping Resort for all their hard work and for looking after all of the guests; and of course all of the guests who attend the event and who gave so generously to DEBRA. Without their support the event would never have happened. Next year’s Butterfly Charity Ball will be on Friday 27th September 2019, if you would like to attend this event, please contact Mary Chambers on 616 076 072.

Toyota to recall 2.4 million hybrids globally Auris, Prius and Prius+ are affected; software issue affects hybrid system and could cause the car to lose power and stall Toyota has announced that it will recall 55,519 hybrid cars in the UK as part of a 2.4 million-car global recall. Auris, Prius and Prius+ hybrid cars with the 1.8-litre engine, built between October 2008 and November 2014, are affected. The fault, according to Toyota, is a

software issue that could cause the cars to not enter a designated failsafe mode in certain situations associated with the hybrid powertrain. Should this occur, the car could lose power and stall, although functions such as the power steering, brakes and lights would still work. It will take around 40 minutes to fix the cars with a software update that can be carried out at ownersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; local Toyota dealer. Toyota confirmed that the recall will be

carried out in accordance with DVSA guidelines but couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t comment on when the last cars are expected to be fixed.

October is tyre safety month

Reduced speed limits and more radars promised

Once again, as the winter is fast approaching, N332 RoadWatch are supporting what was a U.K. based campaign focusing on one of the most crucial elements of a car, one which is so easy to check, and yet one which is so often neglected, as we join in with recognising that October is TYRE SAFETY MONTH, TyreSafe’s latest campaign reveals it’s actually the summer months when Britain’s motorists are more likely to be involved in a tyre-related incident. As well as on our websites, n332.es and RoadWatch.eu, you can get a whole wealth of information from the official website, tyresafe.org. The key message for this year’s campaign, taken from tyresafe.org, is: The need for the annual tyre safety campaign in October has once again been underlined by the research carried out by the TyreSafe team and the evidence collated. TyreSafe and tyre safety awareness depend on support to drive the change in attitudes needed to help reduce the number of tyre-related incidents on our roads. Checking your own tyres is not as difficult as you might think, and we have created a short video that shows you how to perform some basic checks, recorded at the Bosch Service Centre at Autos Direct in San Miguel de Salinas. You should perform these checks at least one per month, maintaining the tyre pressure when you do, and with just a few minutes of dedicated time, you could be saving a lifetime of worry, or

Following a tragic summer on the roads of Spain, another disappointing buck to the trend of reducing fatalities, it is becoming increasingly clear to the DGT that a lack or responsible action by drivers can only be combated through further enforcement. The Director General of Traffic, Pere Navarro, is making it very clear, that the only way of dealing with the growing problem is by forcing more responsible driving and, for those still not prepared to slow down, more chance of them being hit in the pocket through fines. During the latest meeting of the Road Safety Commission of the Congress, Pere Navarro has proposed to unify at 90 kilometres per hour maximum speed limit on all secondary or conventional roads, as these roads are the location for the majority of serious and fatal incidents, in fact some 76% of all fatalities are on this type of road. Currently, on roads with a hard shoulder of 1.5 metres or more, the limit is currently 100 kilometres per hour. Slowing down secondary roads is not a new project, Pere Navarro himself acknowledged that his predecessors had tried without success. We are one of the few countries in Europe (along with Romania, Poland, Ireland, Germany, and Austria) with the highest limit is 100 kilometres per hour. In most European countries, the maximum limit is 90, and some it is 80 kilometres per hour. However, to demonstrate that this measure works, Pere Navarro gave France as an example, where after three

worse. Take a look at the video, which, as well as being on our websites, n332.es and RoadWatch.eu, is on YouTube where you can also subscribe to our channel, and see how easy it is. Of course, if you don’t want to check them yourself, it does mean getting your hands a little dirty, then pop along to Autos Direct in San Miguel and let one of the mechanics there check for you. Autos Direct will also be bringing us some special offers right through this month, exclusive to N332 followers, so keep checking the website, n332.es, for those, or visit their website, autosdirect.es, and be sure to follow them on Facebook for their latest vehicles and news.

consecutive years of increase in deaths, after the lowering of the maximum limit to 80 kilometres per hour, the number of incidents was reduced by 8.4 percent in May, 9.3 in June, and 5.5 in July. However, reducing maximum permitted speed limits is only successful if drivers then abide by the change. Still, one of the leading contributing factors to road traffic incidents, one of the #Fatal4, is inappropriate speed. Therefore, along with a reduction in limits, additional enforcement is also promised. Whilst still feeling the need to apologise, Pere Navarro suggested increasing the number of radars for speed control. "Sorry, but it is the only way we have," he said, before comparing the 7,200 devices in the United Kingdom and 4,000 in France, with just 1,000 in Spain. He already promised this action upon resuming his duties at the DGT, "if we want to advance in road safety we have to increase the number

of radars". Such increases require investment of course, which is one of the benefits of those already caught, who may not be aware that such devices as radars are self funding, with money raised through fines in Spain being invested in such devices and other road safety initiatives. As for the quantity, as Pere Navarro used France as an example, to match the number of radars per capita, Spain would need over a thousand more radars, to being the total up to 2,800. Using the UK as a comparison, Spain would have to increase the number of radars to 5,200. The country with the highest rate of radars per million inhabitants is Belgium with 206, Finland with 169 and Sweden with 135. Currently, Spain with just 19 per million inhabitants is way down that list, although the figure doesn’t include the mobile units operated by the DGT and local and regional police.

Imanyo Golf Society keep it in the family This is the first time we played singles for this competition which is sponsored by Alan and Wendy Ralph, unfortunately Wendy could not take part this year as she has had an operation on her shoulder so all the pressure was on her husband to try and keep the cup in the family! All players arrived very early at Imanyos where the day started with the traditional full English breakfast, the format was full handicap Stableford split into three groups. On arriving at the course we received the usual friendly greeting from Richard and his staff, the course is improving all the time and was found in excellent condition well done ground staff.

Winner of the Keep It In The Family Cup was Ian Chetwynd from group C with an excellent and handicap cutting score of 42 points, runner up in group C again was Steve Day with 30 points, winner of group A on count back was Chris Houghton with 36 points, runner up of group A was Martin Gadney with 36 points, winner of group B, again on count back and with handicap cutting scores was Alex Porteous with 39 points, runner up of group B was Chris Baillie with 39 points. There were six nearest the pins won by, hole 4 John Mcmillan, holes 6 and 11 Alex Porteous, hole 8, first time in four years and what a shot it was! Steve Day, hole 14 Eamon

Murphy and hole 17 Martin Gadney. The presentation was held at Imanyo’s bar, many thanks to Alan and Wendy Ralph for sponsoring the day and presenting the prizes. We held a table top raffle raising money for our charities this year so many thanks to all our members for supplying and donating towards this raffle also thank you to Antonio, Norma and all the staff for looking after us, the football card was won by “Watch My Ball” Dave Rotchell with Celtic raising another €40 for our charities added to the €137 from the raffle gave us a total of €177 to our chosen charites Caritas Daya Nueva, S.A.T.S. and A.E.C.C. Cancer Care.

Quesada Bowls Club After two weeks of competitive and extremely well organised competition, Quesada hosted the semi-finals and finals of the Valencian championships this week, and the hard fought matches didn’t disappoint! In the final of the Ladies Pairs, Quesada were represented by Jacqui Johnston and Carol Broomfield who eventually lost to San Miguels’s Mary Dyer and Val Collyer. In the Mixed Triples final Jason Prokopowycz, Peter Morgan and Carol Lowry played the eventual winners, Ian Kenton, Steve Simmons and Kath Reid from San Luis. Congratulations to

the Winners and commiserations and well done to the runners up. The Winter Leagues got underway this week with Quesada hosting Emerald Isle in a very tight match. Quesada came out on top though, with wins on 3 rinks, one rink drawn and one rink lost. Shots were 94 quesada to 70 Emerald Isle so the points were9 Quesada and 3 Emerald Isle. The Southern League Division B also started this week on Friday with an all Quesada fixture of Swifts vs Swans! The Swifts won 3 - 2 rinks and 91 - 59 shots. So the points were 8 to the Swifts and 4 to the Swans.

Just a reminder about our popular Saturday morning chicken drive which is open to visitors. Green fess are only 6 euros if you have your own shoes and bowls and 7 euros if you need to hire them. Anyone interested in taking part, please report to The Club, Quesada for a 9.30am start. For more information about our club, please contact our membership secretary Angie Goddard newleaf2014@hotmail.com New bowlers are always welcome and introductory coaching is available.

San Miguel Golf Society A beautiful October day greeted 41 members and 3 guests at Roda this week. From a distance the course looked lush and green but further examination revealed the greens were very poor indeed. Apparently recent heavy rain had caused fairly severe flooding and the resultant damage left large bare patches which doesn’t make for easy putting. Just to add insult to injury we are now in high season with the green fee. So it’s no surprise there were some moans and groans afterwards. All things considered, however, the

scoring was good – this isn’t an easy course at the best of times and some holes were playing long. An administrative error meant that no nearest the pin markers were deployed this week so we reverted to a 2’s competition. As luck would have it there were 4 birdies – the same number as the NTP prizes – the winners were Paul Wainwright, Gordon Wilson and Norman Padmore all on the 7th over the water, and Richard Cleary on the 13th . Our best guest was Odd Arne Johansen with a creditable 32. There were

5 prizes in each category this week as we had 41 members playing. In the bronze section Ron Stenhouse snuck in 5th with 27, Norman McBride kept up his prize winning form with 28 in 4th. 3rd was Mike Jordan making a rare visit to the podium with 29 – well done. 2nd was another man in good form Norman Padmore with 30 but 1st place went to Neil Sheldon 32 playing the course for the first time – perhaps it helped. In silver the scores were slightly better and 5th place was taken by Colin Rust

with 31. Peter Girenas 4th and Richard Cleary 3rd had to be split by countback both coming in with 33. Paul Kelsall 2nd had another good week playing to his handicap and scoring 36. The winner was Kev Allbright , another man who seems to be hitting good form at the moment with a very creditable 38. In the gold division Baz Roehrig, making a rare appearance these days, just took 5th spot on countback. Then came Matt Taylor in 4th who lost out on a scoring error – a 5 recorded on the last instead of a 4. It just shows you should

always check your gross score at the end of the round. That meant Captain Smale took 3rd on his own with 35. Stephen Jones had a good round returning 36 for 2nd and Russell Bailey put all the problems with the course aside and eased to a very good 39 for the best score of the day and a deserved win. Keep up to date with all SMGS matters by logging on to our website www.smgs.org or simply give Tony Smale a call on 628227687. The next three games will be at Vistabella, Serena and Font del Llop.

The Med Bar Golf Society Funday at Vistabella consisted of 4 clubs and a putter. A good day was had and the course was in excellent condition scoring was quite good and just shows that too many clubs make you think more than you should and only complicates the mind and the game. Overall winner with 38 points – Tom Gallego Runner up with 35 points – Buck Taylor 3rd position with 34 points – Dave Capper Nearest the pins: Andy Trefry ,Alex Bolton & Andrew Drinkall

Nearest the pin in 2 on par 4 - Keith Smith 2`s club : Alex Bolton Football card winners: Tom Gallego, Steve Vaughan & John Goulder Thanks to Steve and his staff at The Med Bar And Bistro, our next outing is at Vistabella for the Ivie Davies Memorial Trophy on 16/10/18 (fully booked) Anyone wishing to join our society is welcome and we can either be contacted by e-mail at: medbargolf2016@gmail.com or pop into the bar where all details can be left and we will get in touch with you.

Lo Crispin Golf Society Today 40 members and 1 guest teed it up at Font Del Llop to compete for the Jose Trophy, in commemoration of Jose, the founder and former owner of Lo Crispin Tavern, who died suddenly in September four years ago. This was the 3rd time the Society has staged this Trophy. The Tavern who are our sponsors also donated the Trophy. The consensus of most members appeared to be that the Course was generally in good condition. The weather also conspired to make it a good day for all. The sun shone throughout, with hardly a breath of wind, until we reached the holes at the upper end of the Course. The good weather undoubtedly contributed to the generally good scores achieved. As in the previous 2 years, the Tavern provided players, families and guests with a meal in the evening, which was preceded by the distribution of prizes to the winners, who were as follows :

Jose Trophy Winner - Charlie Robertson 40 pts. off 19 2nd. Place - Martin Barker 34 pts. off 16 ( on count back) 3rd. Place - Alan Hunt 34 pts.off 12 N. T. P. on Par3`s Hole 3 - Rob McDowell Hole 8 - Bob Berry Hole 12 - Mike Johnson Hole 16 - Paddy Shea The 2's pot was shared by Nick Capasso, Mike Johnson and Rob McDowell. Anyone wishing to become a member or have a game with us as a guest, should contact any member of the committee, whose details can be found on the Society's website.The next main game is at Vistabella on 17th. October and the next interim game, is also at Font Del Llop on 10th.

The Members Golf Society A full house of 40 players arrived for our usual 9am start. It was a beautiful day for playing golf and high scores could have been expected although only Natalia Allen managed a par breaking 39 points. It’s noticeable that high season has arrived with a vengeance no more 4 hour rounds! Even with this early start we were held up by players in front. With 5 par 3’s on this course it was thought probable that the 2’s rollover from last week would be won, and so it proved. 5 players took home €15 each, N. Allen 17, K. Huopalahti

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

It really does not feel like seven days have passed since I last scribbled down a load of thoughts for you all to digest under the guise of a weekly sports column. Neither does it feel like that long since England were celebrating a very good English summer having seen of India in the Test series. Hang on, it wasn’t that long ago. Surrey have only just stopped partying since their Championship win took the title back to its rightful home and yet it says here England are already in Sri Lanka? Yes, my information is accurate. England were due to play a Sri Lanka Board XI in a one-day affair to help them prepare for the five ODIs against Sri Lanka starting on Wednesday. The only problem was, it rained. Therefore the chance for Liam Plunkett and the brothers Curran to impress the selectors was washed away and England will head to Dambulla massively undercooked. Undercooked might not be the best turn of phrase as conditions on Wednesday are expected to be extremely humid, leading Chris Woakes to suggest that the fast bowlers might have to bowl very short spells. If selected, Chris. If selected. I can see young Sam Curran immediately doing everything he can to show Eion Morgan that he is more than capable of bowling

ten in a row no matter what % humidity is out there. They did get some cricket in on Friday, however, with both Morgan and Test skipper Joe Root slapping 90s before being declared winners by the DLS method. So how did the boys spend Saturday instead? A bit of indoor practise? Hit the gym? Watch analysis of how the Sri Lanka side might bat and bowl? Don’t be daft. They played some FIFA19, mucked about on social media updating their Instagram accounts before watching Conor McGregor get beaten up in a UFC fight (more on that later). India have wasted no time in sorting themselves out since their beating on English soil. Not only have they unearthed a new Sachin Tendulkar in 18-year-old Prithvi Shaw (now the scorer of the fastest Test hundred on debut or the youngest Indian to score a ton on debut or even both, I don’t actually know) but they’ve dished out their largest ever Test victory in history by smashing the West Indies by an innings and 278 runs inside just three days. Kohli, Shaw and Jadeja all got tons as India declared on 649 for 9 and then skittled the Windies twice for far less than that. Couldn’t do that in England though, eh boys? You could give me a list of Australian sounding names right now and I would struggle to identify the Test cricketers within it. Justin Langer is trying to make

his mark on the Baggie Greens and they will be making three changes to the side for the 1st Test against Pakistan in Dubai. Those three are Marnus Labuschagne, Aaron Finch (heard of him) and Peter Siddle (yeah, know him too). Siddle is back after a two-year absence, apparently. Still, they’d probably still beat us Down Under. The Formula One World Championship is now very much Lewis Hamilton’s to lose after victory in the Japan Grand Prix. Hamilton led from pole to claim another win and with Vettel only finishing sixth it means the Brit leads by 67 points with just four races to go. If Mike Tyson calls the scenes ‘unimaginable’ then something has kicked off. Following his victory over Conor McGregor in UFC, Khabib Nurmagomedov jumped into the crowd and started fighting McGregor’s entourage. Dana White, the UFC president, pretended to condemn it whilst secretly smirking knowing that there is no such thing as bad publicity. Eddie Hearn, promotor of British boxer AJ, has said that Anthony Joshua is unlikely to fight Deontay Wilder anytime soon, suggesting that the proposed fight is further away than ever. Hearn claims the issue is on Wilder’s side saying that they’ve sent over a ‘better offer than ever’ and ‘how can you not want to discuss the biggest fight in history?’ before making some reference to a used car salesman. Well, you can take the boy out the East End.

Bahia Santa Pola v CD Montesinos TEAM:- Michael, Dimitry, Fernando, Manu, Alex, Josema, Macca, Yeray, Dario, German, Diego. SUBS:- Diego for Angel, Richard for German, Vaz for Yeray, Omar for Josema After Monte’s 2 first games of the season, hopes were high, but this game was no high point for Monte. They were simply outclassed in every department. Monte’s passing was virtually nonexistent, Bahia Santa Pola just took the ball off Monte’s feet at every opportunity. As a Monte supporter it’s sad for me to say this, but that’s how it was. (Whether this was caused by some confusion at the very start when 2 Monte players, scheduled to start failed to get to the ground on time, and the sub’s were used from the kick-off). On the 4 minute mark, Bahia Santa Pola ran the ball down their right wing, and floated a pass into the centre for a fabulous headed goal. Due to the heat both teams had a few minutes as a water break on the half-hour. But there was no change on the restart,

there was just nothing coming Monte’s way, there were so many mistakes and elementary errors, players not looking behind them when they had the ball, not looking before passing, and passes going wild. Bahia Santa Pola played on a different level. Early in the second half, once again Bahia Santa Pola ran the ball down their right wing, the ball was passed to the centre, and a Bahia Santa Pola rifled the ball onto the join of the right post and cross-bar, the ball rebounded, out for another Bahia Santa Pola player to have a shot, this struck a Monte player and then cleared, a lucky escape for Monte. Bahia Santa Pola’s

second goal came from yet another cross from one player to another leaving the Monte goalie in no-man’s land, and the ball was fired into the net. Monte didn’t have one shot at goal throughout the match, and only had about 4 corners. The game almost descended into chaos when there was a melee, in the Bahia Santa Pola’s goal area, their goalie causing most trouble, but the referee failed to act, but gave a second yellow card to Macca. Richard of Monte was also given a yellow card for taking a free-kick before the whistle. Final result Bahia Santa Pola 2 CD Montesinos 0 Report Alex Dunn ·Photos Terry Harris

Worries from the weekend ■ CHRIS DARWEN chris@costablancapeople.com

Well, that kinda ruined the fun, didn’t it? On Saturday morning, news broke from the Mirror that Jose Mourinho was going to be sacked after the Newcastle match no matter what the result was. And, as Newcastle hilariously sped into a 2-0 lead after ten minutes, we were beginning to understand why Jose was sporting the haircut that normally precedes his booting out the door. Newcastle came into the match full of pasta following their night out with owner Mike Ashley where he promised Rafa some cash and the players a holiday if they stay up. Newcastle led and Mourinho hooked Eric Bailly, Steve Bruce edged nearer to the dream reunion with the club he loves and all of us on social media were having a proper giggle at events at Old Trafford. The Newcastle fans were giving us so much free advertising by singing ‘Sacked in the Morning’ that I could only dream of them adding dot com to the end of the chant. United were so on the ropes that they were out of the ring and sitting in the back row and there was even talk that Jose would be handed his P45 at the break and Ryan Giggs would appear from nowhere and take the reigns. But then, Jose turned into Pep Guardiola. Of course, we all pointed at the fact he threw on Fellaini in the obvious Plan B but dropping Matic and Pogba into a false back three was the most attacking move I have ever seen the Portuguese manager make. Suddenly, Old Trafford felt like Old Trafford used to feel like as United did that thing they’ve not done for a very long time – attack. When Nemanja Matic missed an absolute sitter it looked like he might have been the mole in the United dressing room leaking stories to the press, desperate to see his boss get sacked so he can enjoy at least some of his career without him in his ear. But that wasn’t the end, oh no. One of the nicest men in football, Juan Mata, went and spoiled all our fun by giving

Manchester United hope. Then Anthony Martial, a man who is believed to be so far off Jose’s Christmas card list it might as well be Easter, equalised. And then, in some weird symmetry, a player Jose is thought to utterly regret signing scored the winner in injury time. Jose’s Mark Robins moment? It is hard to see Mourinho going on to build a Ferguson like dynasty from here but it was quite good fun watching them attack, attack and attack. Nice one, Mo Diame. Oh, and believe it or not, that victory means Jose now has the best win % of any United manager, ever. It’s worth sacking him now just so he can remind us all of that until the end of time. Now, the biggest game of the weekend should have been at Anfield where the only two teams people think

having been allowed to take it because he scores them in training (even though he has missed five of his last eight), Riyad Mahrez hadn’t smacked so far over the bar it hit the back of the net at Goodison. Pep thinks City should have had more penalties, for which Sergio Aguero would have still been on the pitch and probably scored one. Ah well. At least Guardiola did apologise to Gabby Jesus admitting that it was his fault to let Mahrez near the ball with three valuable points on the line. Unsurprisingly, Chelsea beat Southampton away. Unsurprisingly, Eden Hazard scored and was rather good. Somewhat more surprisingly, Ross Barkley got off the mark for the blues and even more surprising than that was Alvaro Morata’s second goal in four days – he didn’t cry this time

League, no? That wasn’t much of a struggle and, frankly, unless Fulham sort themselves out they will be remembered as a modern-day Holloway’s Blackpool except they spent way more than Holloway did in the fateful season. Lacazette is no longer a case of Lacagoals as he bagged another pair before Pierre-Emerick came off the bench to match him. Arsenal’s 5-1 win means it is nine wins in a row in all competitions. Suddenly that Unai Emery chap seems like a good appointment until they play someone proper. It was nice to see Joe Ralls finally get sent off, albeit a week later than he should have been and albeit for a potentially worse tackle than his last one. Cardiff City travelled to Wembley to be the perfect contrast to Barcelona

might win the league (even though nobody really thinks Liverpool will actually win the league) met with City having not won there since 2003. And, well, they blooming well could have done if (a) Peppy G had let Jesus take the 86th minute penalty and (b) if

though. Chelsea look good and are a lot of fun to watch. Could they be surprise title contenders? Sarri doesn’t think so, the coy old dog. Hang on, Arsenal were supposed to struggle at Fulham as they’d flown to the moon and back in the Europa

playing there in midweek. Eric Dier bundled one in for Tottenham which tells you everything you need to know about this one. Everyone had been getting just a little bit too excited about West Ham and the fact they’d managed to avoid

defeat for a couple of weeks. Naturally, this meant they were bound to lose at Brighton and lose they did. Glenn Murray, 48 hours after being ignored yet again by England as Southgate chose to turn to players barely out of nappies, scored yet another winner. I think we can all agree that Watford’s title bid is officially over now. We can probably all agree that they won’t be ‘this season’s Burnley’ either having been spanked 4-0 at home by Bournemouth. It is more likely that Javi Gracia will be ‘this season’s Marco Silva’ (without the Everton flirtation) and be sacked in November. Bournemouth were excellent and made the most of Watford being down to ten men. Eddie Howe for United? If you mean Newcastle United, then maybe. Well hello there, Everton! Finally, a performance that Toffee fans dreamt of last season when they were enduring the very best of Big Sham. Bernard made his debut and shimmied his way like a 1950s outside left to create the opener for Richarlison and then Gylfi Sigurdsson sent James Maddison back to the Championship with a delightful Cruyff turn before belting home the winner from fully 30 yards. That’s what happens James, when you get called up for England. Players from Iceland make you feel silly. Yes, I am still bitter. And the man who made me bitter towards the English football team, Roy Hodgson, is not having a good run of form at Palace. Wolves beat them 1-0 to extend their unbeaten run to six and claim back-to-back wins. Has there ever been such a good promoted side? Probably, but we tend to remember what is happening now better than the past, don’t we? Burnley and Huddersfield managed two goals more than I expected. John Terry has hung up his boots from playing amid rumours that he is going to return to Villa Park as part of a management dream team led by none other than Thierry Henry. That’s right – Terry and Terry will lead the Villa back to the promised land (or it will all go horribly wrong). I think, deep down, we all know how it will end. But it will be fun watching.

High noon and Monday’s team game was a ‘Texas Scramble’. Our winning team of ‘cowboys’ were Rod Doel, Dave Pulling, Annemarie Weisheit and Terry Field. In ‘True Grit’ style they took the podium with a fine gross score of three under par, 69. After handicap adjustment this resulted in a nett 61.4! Wednesday saw a great turnout of 32 players for our Captain’s Day 2 ball better ball. Some welcome snacks and a beer awaited each player at the halfway staging post(well done hereto our new deputy sheriff, Julia Dobson)Cakes and baked beans for all were provided by Olga and Alan Douglas celebrating their 48th wedding anniversary. Hendrick Oldenziel may have over indulged on the moonshine though, as a little later he came off a green waving his own pitching wedge in the air asking who it belonged to! The ‘Chuckle Brothers’, Curtis Collins and Brian Staines struck again, taking first place with a superb 46 points. Brian also managed to claim the runners up place playing alongside Jan Svendsen with

43. (I bet Brian didn’t pay two entrance fees!) The bronze medal, with 41 points, went to our two gunslingers John Shervell and ‘El Presidente’ Dave Pulling. Fourth spot was claimed by Ken Robertson and Benedict Kruse with 40 points. A 1-2-3 Waltz concluded our week.
