BRAVE AND DETERMINED Refugees In Perilous Risk

BY ALEX TRELINSKI

ruz Roja, Guardia Civil, and coastguard teams rescued a total of 130 wouldbe migrants entering Spain's shores last Sunday, including a number trying to land in Alicante Province. Tabarca Island off the coast of Santa Pola and Alicante was a target for the overcrowded dinghies that were also spotted near Alborán Island, exactly halfway between Morocco and Almería, with rescues taking place off the shores of Carboneras (Almería province) and Cartagena.

10 migrants were initially spotted some nine miles off Tabarca on Sunday afternoon, all of whom were said to be adult men of Algerian nationality and who claimed another 12 were on their way in a boat behind them, which was indeed the case. The first group of 10 were taken to Alicante and given warm, dry clothing, fluids and food, and checked out by first-aiders. The men had been travelling for three days without food, yet appeared to be in good health after being examined by the Cruz Roja workers, though some were

dehydrated, while one migrant was suffering high blood pressure and palpitations. This is the first time this year that migrants have been intercepted in Alicante Province. 15 of the 22 appeared before an Alicante court on Tuesday, pending expulsion from Spain, but the remaining seven, as children, were being looked after at a shelter. Coastguard authorities were tipped off in the early hours of Sunday about a craft on its way north from the Moroccan city of Nador, and they were found 21 miles off the shores of Alborán Island. A total of 34 of them - including six women and a child were packed onto one motorboat. Not far behind them, a boat carrying 25 Algerians was traced 50 miles south of

Alborán Island at around 5.00 am on Sunday. Sometime around noon, a craft carrying 30 sub-Saharan Africans, including three women and two babies under a year old, was spotted 60 miles south of Cartagena. The occupants were taken there for first aid, blankets, food and drink. All 130 found in one day were said to be in good health, and are mostly of north African origin, although a handful are from subSaharan Africa. It is part of the now-annual ritual where the sea conditions are seen to be the best to attempt a still extremely dangerous crossing. Previous years have seen landings off the Mar Menor, as well as at Santa Pola, Torrevieja, Cabo Roig, and Torre de la Horadada.

18 people died and five were injured in 17 accidents on the country’s roads last weekend which opened the traditional getaway period for August, which ended on Monday. A total of 667 people have died on Spanish roads in the first seven months of this year, 51 more

than in the same period last year, according to figures from DGT Trafico. In July, there were 124 people fatalities on the roads, eleven more than in the same month last year and it was the highest figure for July since 2011, when 172 people lost their lives.

The half-naked body of a 72-year-old British man was discovered in an area close to the Torrevieja salt lakes on Tuesday evening with the Guardia Civil now investigating the circumstances of his death. A couple were

walking in Los Balcones between Lagosol and La Coronela when they made the grisly find at around 8.30 pm. Local police and Guardia officers were called to the scene with early indications

that the man had been dead for five days. The body was in an area accessible only by foot or bicycle, with no initial evidence that foul play had been involved. No missing person report had been filed.

Sub-tropical air brought a hot and humid end to July on Sunday, with temperatures in Orihuela City almost hitting 40 degrees C on what was the second hottest day of the

year, just behind June 13th. Rojales got to 36.7 degrees C, and coastal breezes kept the Torrevieja high to 35.1 degrees, whilst Guardamar got to 33 degrees C.

Fools Fined The North Costa Blanca resort of Javea has handed out fixed penalties to swimmers who ignored red flags at a local beach on Monday. Local police were called in by Cruz Roja lifeguards to help clear the water of ignorant bathers at Playa del Arena and two swimmers who would just would not budge, left the sea with fines of

potentially up to 750 euros each to their name. It’s the first time that Javea has handed out such penalties as lifeguards and police across the Costa Blanca and Mar Menor are facing more cases of swimmers ignoring warnings, some fatally, when a British tourist lost her life at La Glea beach on the Orihuela Costa in June.

A protest group has complained to Torrevieja council over the building of a wall separating the palm groves in Cala Ferris from the beach. The land owners, Ferris Hills, have started work on erecting the 800-metre-long wall, which will separate their land

from the public beach. The “Salvemos Lo Ferrís” (Save The Ferrís) campaign group says that the area is popular with residents and tourists alike, and claim that many are worried that access will be at best made very difficult.

The group have accused Ferris Hills of not keeping to the rules concerning urban and environmental laws, adding that the concrete wall is being put up without a landscape integration report, and that established cattle trails are being blocked.

Hi-Tech High A hi-tech greenhouse with a thousand marijuana plants growing in it has been raided by the Guardia Civil on an industrial estate in Formentera de Segura. Agents arrested a 49-yearold Irishman in Almoradi and charged him with a variety of drugs trafficking

offences as well using electricity illegally. The Guardia seized a thousand marihuana plants plus associated paraphernalia from the hi-tech greenhouse which had been set up inside a warehouse. The sophisticated equipment

consisted of an advanced lighting and irrigation system especially created to help the plants grow faster. An odour-extraction and filtering unit had also been put in to remove any suggestive smells that something illegal was going on at the site.

Shark Attack Shock

A 40-year-old man nearly lost his thumb when bitten as he paddled in waters of Arenales del Sol beach last Friday after he was attacked by a blue shark. Elsewhere on his hand, deep bite marks caused by the serrated edges of the shark's teeth can be spotted in a photo taken at hospital that the victim subsequently released. According to lifeguards, the 40-year-old local resident came out of the sea with a bloody hand after

being bitten while swimming. Red flags were raised at the beach for about two hours until bathers were allowed back in the water. The victim was taken to Elche General Hospital, where his hand was stitched up. At first, he thought he had been bitten by a big fish. A DYA lifeguard who went to his aid said at the time: "In nine years of service, I have never seen anything like it." Despite the graphic appearance of the wound,

doctors said it was not serious and he was released after treatment. He is expected to make a full recovery, hopefully without damage to his tendons. Experts said the injuries were probably caused by a blue shark known as a tintorea, which is supposed to be smaller than the average shark but still very capable of killing humans. The species is only known to have been involved in 13 biting incidents, four of which ended fatally.

Sunday Smash Two men were injured, one seriously, when their cars were involved in a head-on collision on the N332 highway in the Guardamar area on Sunday

Drunken Threats A drunk Moroccan man threatened to kill a Franciscan monk in Cartagena as he tried to snatch the wooden cross around his neck and shouted that he should be afraid because he was a Muslim. The incident, only reported by the National Police this week, happened last week on the terrace of a bar in the Urbanización Mediterráneo in Cartagena, with the monk making a complaint to the

authorities. The assailant, aged around 35, was said to have been in a drunken state and made death threats against the monk who he also threw glass and crockery at. The man was with three other people who pulled him away, with the National Police stating that they had a good idea who he was. The monk, aged over 60, spent many years as a missionary in the Dominican Republic.

Don’t Peel Them 206 kilos of marijuana hidden amongst bags of onions destined for Berlin, were intercepted by the National Police in Murcia after starting their journey in a fruit and vegetable packing plant in Roquetas de Mar, Almeria. It’s one of the biggest single consignments of marijuana to be seized in Spain as the lorry was trundling north on the A-7 highway heading towards Murcia City. 12 people were arrested by the authorities.

Forgotten Rubbish

Opposition politicians have criticised the state of the Entre Naranjos urbanisation, with the Partido Popular-led Orihuela council being accused of neglecting the area, which has the nickname of the “Forgotten City”. Opposition PSOE council-

lor María García said that there were serious problems of overflowing waste containers, leading to unpleasant smells and an increase in cockroaches on the urbanisation, at a time when the area was at its busiest as the population trebles to around three thousand peo-

ple during the summer. Entre Naranjos resident, Sarah Hill, appeared alongside María García to criticise the council at a news conference, and claimed that the drains and sewers had not been cleaned for a year, and that the recycling bins are only emptied every three weeks. Sebastián Andreu, the local headman for adjoining Torremendo and Entre Naranjos was also present and slammed the council for prioritising the Orihuela Costa during the summer and abandoning the urbanisation because of the greater population on the coast. He also attacked the authority for the dirty state of the public spaces.

Parents of youngsters who go to Algorfa’s Miguel de Cervantes school will vote next month on proposed changes to teaching hours. The option is to switch lessons to a continuous session, or to leave the split day as it

is. The poll will take place on Thursday September 15th, with the first option said to be the favourite, as parents are consulted throughout the Valencia region as to whether or not they want a continuous school day.

More Shoppers The high street in Spain was a busier place in June after the slightly pessimistic mood among shoppers back in May, according to figures produced by the National Statistics Institute. Retail sales in Spain grew 5.6% on an annual and seasonally

adjusted basis in June, up from the 2.3% growth logged in May. The market had forecast a 3.5% rise in sales in the month of June. The non-seasonally adjusted figure rose 6.0% after June’s 2.8% increase.

Simultaneous raids on 22 addresses were staged after a tip-off that IS cells were planning attacks. A waterpark in France is to be booked out for one day to Muslim women wanting to wear "burkinis" - but the decision has led to criticism by politicians on the right. A community group in Marseille arranged the day, giving access only to women wearing the all-over swimming garment.

Unpopular Popular Spain’s Banco Popular have fired their chief executive Francisco Gomez and announced big cost cutting moves as they saw profits nearly wiped out in the second quarter of 2016, just a month after it made a 2.5 billion euro share issue to clean up toxic retail assets.

Have A Go

King Felipe has asked acting Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy to try to form a government after the second inconclusive election in six months. Mr Rajoy accepted the request last week but warned he might fail if opposition parties again refused to back him. His Partido Popular lost its absolute majority in December's election but remains the biggest party and increased their representation in June’s vote.

Most parties have declared they will not back him, including the PSOE Socialists under leader Pedro Sanchez. "We want to change Rajoy's government and this is why we will vote 'no' in a confidence vote," Mr Sanchez said. Rajoy needs to form a minority or coalition government which must pass a vote of confidence in parliament and met this week with Sanchez and leader of

the centerist Ciudadanos party, Albert Rivera, who has agreed to abstain in the voting over Rajoy’s bid for a permanent government. That vote, scheduled for this week, has been postponed until later in the month. Rajoy got little change out of his meeting with Pedro Sanchez on Tuesday, with the PSOE leader maintaining his stance afterwards that they would vote against Rajoy. "With this 'no', the situation remains blocked and this takes us to a third election," Rajoy told reporters, adding that commitments from the Socialists on various policy issues were also needed to form a stable government beyond just an investiture vote. "The right-wing parties are the ones that have to reach an agreement, the left is not going to support the right," Sanchez said.

Slave Ring Smashed

The National Police have arrested three members of a criminal gang involved in the sexual exploitation of trans women. The criminal group, according to police, was involved in human trafficking, including a sex-slave ring which involved exploiting foreign transgender women. In a statement, the police

said the women were “mainly from Venezuela”. Authorities have said the women were brought to Spain, and forced into sex work. Victims were threatened by gang members and their families were also threatened with violence. They were also moved “all around Spain”, said the police statement.

Bogus Booze Worry

Fraudsters Sentenced 11 company executives were jailed by the National Court last week in connection with an infamous Spanish pyramid scheme that saw nearly 200 thousand people cheated out of billions of euros. The executives of Afinsa were ordered to pay 2.57 billion euros in compensation for the

scheme, which was shut down by police in 2006. The court found the company had defrauded 190,022 small investors by promising them higher than market returns for the purchase of stamps, which the company pledged to then resell on the market. Instead, 150 million of the

overpriced stamps accumulated in the company’s warehouses, while investors were encouraged to bring new people in on the scam. The company’s former president, Juan Antonio Cano Cuevas, received the highest sentence of 12 years and 10 months imprisonment.

Run Away Couple Found

Spain is losing over 260 million euros a year due to the sale of fake alcohol, with the EU Intellectual Property Office saying that it has the biggest bogus sales in the European Union. The Office says that Spanish producers lose 263 million euro per annum due to fake alcohol sale, with figures

showing that producers lose around 173 million a year on alcoholic beverages in addition to 90 million euros a year on wine alone Spain has been damaged the most in Europe because it has the highest number of businesses specialising in alcohol and wine with some 3,700 outlets.

Zika Found A second case of the Zika virus being sexually-transmitted has been detected in Spain – this time in the Greater Madrid region. No trace of the Aedes Albopictus or Aedes Aegypti mosquito, which carries the virus, has been found anywhere in A Romanian man who fled from the UK to Spain with a teenage girl was arrested last Friday in the Madrid area. Ionut Gheorghe, 27, was detained in Los Molinos near Madrid under a European Arrest Warrant. The girl, Elena Ciochina, 15, was found safe and well at the same location. A manhunt was sparked after Elena, who is also Romanian, disappeared from her home in Newham, east London, the previous Saturday evening, hours after Gheorghe was spotted on CCTV taking £250 from a cash machine in Enfield.

Booming And Bursting

Spain is continuing to benefit from tourists who are staying away from France, Egypt, Turkey and other countries where visitors have been targeted by terrorists. Nearly 33million people visited Spain between January and June, an increase of nearly 12 per cent on the same six-month period in 2015, according to the National Statistics Institute.

British tourists, at nearly eight million, are driving the increase, representing the largest number of Spain's foreign visitors as the country is predicting another record-breaking year for tourism. The number of UK visitors is up by nearly 17 percent on the same period last year. German tourists were second with 4.9million visitors over the first half of 2016,

followed by 4.5million visitors from neighbouring France. The most popular destination in June was the Balearics, with nearly two million visitors, whilst June’s figures had 2.1million Britons visiting Spain, accounting for 28 per cent of the total number of foreign visitors (7.5million), an increase of 17.5 per cent on June 2015.

Cuenca Region

We all enjoy the traditional Spain. You know –sun, sea, and sand! But even in the summer months there is a lot more to Spain than that. Can you imagine a Spain of flowing rivers? Trout breaking the surface of the river as it meanders like a silver thread in the shade of the trees lining the river bank? Eagles and even vultures soar in the blue skies above. If you are lucky, you may catch deer nibbling at the greener grass near to the road. Villages are fortified with massive medieval walls; provided as a protection for the citizens who lived in more violent times. A series of multi coloured lakes come in to view amongst the forest pines. A cave with windows cut out by nature looks over an impressive gorge which has been cut out by the ever present river Jucar. Eerie shapes are formed by a forest of rocks. There are the bears, the fight between the crocodile and the elephant, the face of a man, the lovers enjoying a tender kiss, the toboggan ride, and the Tornado to name but a few. At the top of a mountain we see water from a river oozing from the rocks, and sparkle in the sun for the first time. Fields of golden corn sway gently in the light breeze. The turquoise waters of the Toba reservoir sparkles in the warm summer sun. In the city of Cuenca, an impressive medieval cathedral fills one side of the quaint town square. Houses built on the side of the rock hang precariously over the heights of the gorge. The gorge is spanned by a narrow bridge not meant for the faint of heart, but which leads to an old monastery which now serves as a “Parador” ( a state run chain of fine hotels). Nights are spent in a charismatic family run hotel where the owners feed us until we are fit to burst. This excursion, which takes us to see some of Spain’s finest scenery, also has a couple of unexpected and fun surprises along the way. This is not the Spain that we are used to, but it is genuine Spain in the heart of the lovely region of Cuenca. Spend 3 delightful days in these idyllic surroundings with David’s Coachtrips SL. The arrangement is full board including wine and water with meals and daily excursions are also included. At an unbelievably low price of only 145€ this is fabulous value.

Al Fresco Horror

Mum’s The Word

A British woman holidaying in Benidorm, was arrested for abandoning her twin sons to go on a drinking spree around several bars in the resort. The 40-year-old told the police that she realised her nine-year-old sons were missing, but did not look for them or alert the police as she believed they would be fine on their own. Authorities said the incident took place last week when a couple came to a police station at around 10.00 pm local with a nine-year-old boy who they found wandering on

the streets looking for his mother. The boy told the couple and later the police that his mother had given him and his twin brother some money to buy something to eat. But on returning, they could not locate their mother and went searching for her. They began looking for her in two different directions and got separated. The police later found his twin brother lying at the entrance of their holiday apartment; he had reached there walking all through the town on foot. A search for the mother went on throughout the

night across Benidorm, but she was found the next morning sleeping peacefully at their holiday apartment in Finestrat. "Officers began searching for the mother and the other child and found the minor three hours later lying at the entrance to his apartment. The boys were taken to a police station and then to a child protection centre to guarantee their safety," a police statement said. Police said the mother claimed she had lost her children around 8.00 pm while she was out drinking, but did not search for them "because she thought they knew the way home, despite it involving them crossing the whole of Benidorm on foot." The mother was taken to court to appear in front of a judge in a private hearing where she was asked to explain herself last Friday, with the result of the session not made public.

Loads Of Figures A large chunk of a roof collapsed last week onto a group of diners in Badajoz leaving one with severe head injuries. Four men and two women were enjoying a

Legal Assistance Reminder

Spain has upped its growth forecast for the year and predicted that unemployment would drop both in 2016 and 2017, despite the seven-month political deadlock with still no permanent government in charge. The acting Partido Popular government said Spain’s economy would grow 2.9 per cent overall in 2016, up from the

2.7 per cent predicted in April − a figure that had already been put forward by Economy Minister Luis de Guindos. In a statement, the economy ministry also predicted a drop in unemployment to 18.6 per cent in 2016 compared to 20 per cent in the second quarter, and then 16.6 per cent by the end of

2017. But it revised its forecast for GDP growth in 2017 down to 2.3 per cent from 2.4 per cent. The updated economic forecast came just hours after the National Statistics Institute said Spain’s economic growth had slowed slightly in the second quarter of 2016.

Dishonourable List Of Shame Why is it that MPs get the devilment in them and do things which really annoy the public and voters. Fiddling expenses, stupid infighting, acting like big kids at Question Time come readily to mind, but there's not much worse than an out-

going prime minister handing out honours to people who simply should not receive them because they do not deserve them. The leaked list of honours proposed by David Cameron include cabinet colleagues who backed him in his

‘Remain’ campaign; Downing Street staff; the "stylist and adviser" to Cameron's wife Samantha; his press adviser; and a juicy Companion of Honour to his old mate George Osborne. All this does is to put the entire honours system into

disrepute. People should not get honours for simply doing their jobs or donating mega bucks to a political party or to trade union bosses who arguably are selling the country down the river on the altar of getting a better deal for a section of workers.

to the party just to ensure he wins, guaranteeing that Labour will tear itself apart. Labour has suffered from moderates not bothering to attend meetings or vote and has seen the extemeists take over. It was a long and orchestrated campaign, which has seen the far left seize control. And once they have control, they will never let go. It means that the moderate MPs will have to form a new party and call themselves something dif-

ferent. How many die-hard Labour voters, who can never contemplate putting their crosses against a candidate which does not have "Labour" in the description, will understand what they have to do? And with the Left split in this way, how many decades will the socialists be in the political wilderness? And that is even more likely when you consider a new poll, which showed that more than two and a half million people

receiving an honour would really mean something rather than being an employee of a prime minister or a supporter of his/her policies. So it's a shame that Theresa May doesn't see fit to tell Cameron what to do with his "cronyism".

Zika Priorities

May Just Might Out of touch far-leftie Jeremy Corbyn is now within a whisker of taking total and absolute power of the Labour party with the Hobson’s Choice between Owen Smith, who is on the left of the party, and Corbyn, who is even further left into the barmy area, and as such is virtually unelectable as a PM. He has attracted the support of Communists, the great British unwashed and all the 'ists in the book, plus Tories who have signed up

It should go to people who have gone to exceptional lengths to do good - in charitable work; lifted Britain's esteem in say sport or science; achieved some medical breakthrough; or saved a life in exceptional circumstances, etc, etc. This way

who voted Labour at the last election would choose Theresa May over Jeremy Corbyn to be Prime Minister. When asked which leader they would prefer to lead the country, 29% of Labour voters - equivalent to 2.7 million people - opted for the Conservative Party's new PM. Funny thing politics - if you were Theresa May would’nt you call a snap election now and secure a new five-year term? Tempting isn't it?

puts herself first and takes a holiday in an infected area, and then gives birth to a seriously malformed child caused by the Zika virus, she should be arrested and charged with the crime of causing grevious harm to the unborn child. As for the Rio Olympics starting today, this sporting carnival is happening in one of the worst Zika infected areas on the plant, and there is appalling human filth too. Health and life is worth far more than any medal.

Dual Call

Torrevieja mayor José Manuel Dolón has written to Valencia’s traffic management centre and to the Director General of State Highways in Madrid calling for the urgent upgrading of the N-332 road around the city into a dualcarriageway. Dolón says the recent spate of traffic jams is terrible for motorists and is harming Torrevieja’s economy.

A Bit Better 20 thousand euros per year is the average wage figure last year for somebody living in the Valencia region, according to national government figures. It shows a rise of 0.6% on wages over 12 months, though it is still some three thousand euros below the national average of nearly 23 thousand euros per annum.

Drug Bust A 31-year-old man was arrested by Orihuela police after he was rumbled in a drug deal in Orihuela City as he was selling drugs on the street. He tried to escape in his car throwing out 20 packets of hashish before being caught and taken to the police station, where it was found that he had a previous record of arrests.

Wolf Battle

A couple in Spain have started an online petition after officials refused to let them call their newborn son the Spanish word for Wolf. The father, Nako Javierre, said in a letter with the petition that he and his wife Maria decided on the name because of “our love for this animal.” But he says the Fuenlabrada registry office in Madrid last month refused to accept the name because it could be “offensive” for their son. They later said Lobo was a surname in Spanish and could cause confusion. The parents noted that

the name is acceptable in other countries and hope to

use the petition to back their argument in court.

Catalan Impasse Spain's top court has acted to block an attempt by pro-independence parties in Catalunya to move ahead with their secession plans in defiance of a previous ruling. The Constitutional Court announced on Monday it has suspended a Catalan Parliament resolution, passed last week, which set out a road map to independence. The fivemonth suspension is the first step toward possible fines and legal proceedings against members of the Barcelona-based parliament. The resolution was approved by the "Together

Prosecutor Pilfered

Murcia’s anti-corruption prosecutor has had his computer stolen, which contains highly-sensitive information about cases under investigation. Juan Pablo Lozano said his house had been broken into meaning the thieves now have access to data on the high-profile Novo Carthago and Umbra cases. Murcia Region chief prosecutor Manuel López Bernal says the theft is ‘rather strange’, since in a ‘typical’ burglary other items besides the computer and a piece of paper with Lozano’s mobile

PIN written on it would have been taken, which they were not. He believes whoever broke in and took the computer was ‘making a statement’ to the anti-corruption leader, to the effect of, “we know we can get into your house, your privacy, and that of your family.” Fortunately, Lozano has back-up copies of the cases he is working on, although he is now concerned that confidential information which could compromise inquiries may be in someone else’s hands.

Summer Extension for Yes" group and its anticapitalist governing coalition partner CUP, despite protests from opposition parties that it was illegal. The

regional government's strategy for independence by 2017 was approved last year but ruled unconstitutional by the Constitutional Court.

Just An Idea For Suggestion Boxes Suggestion boxes have been put into Torrevieja’s municipal buildings for residents to come forward with ideas that might appear in next year’s council budget. The deadline for suggestions will be Wednesday August 31st, with a special form available to be filled out, with boxes based in council buildings and facilities across Torrevieja and La Mata.

In keeping with many municipalities across the Costa Blanca, businesses working in the service sector in the Torrevieja area are allowed to stay open later during the summer high season until late September. Though the regional Valencian government sets the main framework for opening and closing hours for

bars, shops, and restaurants, each council like Torrevieja has some local flexibility which means that the majority of pubs and karaoke bars can remain open for an hour later until 4.00 am, whilst restaurants and café-bars have an extra hour until 2.30 am. Premises though have to strictly abide by noise rules or face prosecution and a fine.

Go North Middle-aged and elderly residents in the northern region of La Rioja are the happiest in Spain, according to research – 83% say they are enjoying life far more than when they were much

younger, and 70% say they are ‘having a second childhood’. Those born in or before 1961 place the least importance on money of all generations across Spain as a whole.

Clear Way

One of Torrevieja’s main central streets, Calle Ramón Gallud, has become a “no parking zone” in a measure introduced by mayor, José Manuel Dolón, in bid to cut down on congestion. Drivers had previously been allowed to park their vehicles on some stretches of the road

for up to an hour with additional short-term spaces being introduced on the street by the previous Partido Popular-run council in attempt to boost local businesses. Dolón said that in practice all that happened was an increase in jams in the area.

Night Strikes

Dole Fall Boost

Spain´s unemployment rate has fallen to its lowest figure in nearly six years in the second quarter of 2016, fuelled by a tourism boom and underpinned by three years of solid economic growth. The jobless rate fell to 20 percent of the workforce in the April to June period, according to the National Statistics´ Institute, its lowest level since the third quarter of 2010 and down from 21 percent in the previous quarter. As far as the monthly figures are con-

cerned, July saw a fall of nearly 84 thousand out of work, the biggest drop for that month since 1997. Job creation in the services sector in particular rose sharply over the first six months of 2016. The overall number of unemployed stood at 4.57 million in the second quarter, INE said, a low not reached since the end of 2009.The economic recovery, following a deep recession that wiped out millions of jobs, has driven a steady turnaround in the labour mar-

ket, though Spain´s unemployment rate remains the second-highest in Europe after Greece. A buoyant tourism industry has helped jobs return, as restaurants, hotels and resorts take on extra staff for the summer season. Monthly figures for Alicante Province showed seven and a half thousand fewer unemployed people in July compared to June, a 1.72 percent fall, whilst just over two thousand people left the dole queue last month in Murcia.

Spaniard’s Are Spurting Up Three people who are accused of at least 60 robberies in rural areas of Alicante Province have been arrested by the National

Police, with the ringleader denied bail by a judge. The group would strike at night when the home owners were asleep.

The average Spaniard is now 12cm taller than his predecessors were 100 years ago, with World Health Organisation figures putting a typical Spanish man at around 1.76m tall, while the average height for a Spanish woman is 1.63m. The reason that Spanish

people have grown so much in the last five decades in particular is due to being better nourished and consuming a healthier diet, which means that Spain has jumped from 100th position to number 50 in the tallest nations of the world. The tallest people on the

planet are concentrated in Europe, with those from Iceland, Denmark and Holland standing right at the top. The shortest people in the world live in East Timor, and those from countries including Rwanda, Uganda and Sierra Leone are 5cms shorter than they used to be.

Rock Death An Alicante Province soldier was killed and five others injured in a rockfall during climbing practice in the Pyrénées on Tuesday. Rubén Rangel Vizuete, 25, from Elda was a member of the ‘Galicia 64’ mountain rescue regiment based in Jaca. Tragedy hit when a chunk of the cliff crumbled away and landed on the N330 highway.

Plan Delay Santa Pola council has delayed plans until next year to restrict car parking around the Cape area close to the lighthouse. An environmental impact report on the measures has yet to be produced.

Defrancoed Ex-Spanish dictator, General Franco, is no longer classified as an “Adoptive Son of Guardamar”. The title was granted to Franco back in April 1940, with a unanimous vote taken last month by Guardamar councillors to strip the former fascist ruler of a title that council minutes never recorded revoking after his death in 1975.

Extra Support

The coffers of Torrevieja Stroke Support got a big boost recently when a cheque to the value of over thirteen-hundred euros was handed over to treasurer, Paul Owen, thanks to a

recent fund-raiser at the Restaurante El Alto La Dolores, Guardamar. The money will mostly be used to support stroke victims with rehabilitation and residential care.

Fun And Frolics A raffle at Benijofar’s Catorce restaurant raised 455 euros for the Samaritans in Spain as over three hundred people enjoyed a recent night of food and entertainment which also raised funds for the Benijofar Crisis Appeal. Entertainment came from Dusty Crack, Andy Jones and Rob Roberts, with Samaritain’s board trustee member, Jane Troubridge, thanking Martyn and Paul and all of the team at Catorce for their support.

Fancy Footwork

All types of dancing was on display at last month’s Footwork Dance show, Viva La Danza, staged at the Los Montesinos Music School auditorium, with 400 euros being raised for people in need locally. The show gave all the students from the youngest, at just 18 months old, right up to the adults, a chance to showcase their talents, with a variety of styles, including

jazz, tap, ballet and modern dance, along with costumes to match. Along with a number of new routines the students performed some old favourites, including the Lord of the Dance. Footwork Dance believes that dancing is for everyone and it is never too late to start. For more details, contact Erica on 662 003 823 or please e-mail footworkdance@hotmail.com

Pets Get Posh

The Pets in Spain animal charity raised 730 euros from last week’s Summer Fayre staged at the Posh Club on the La Marina urbanisation,

San Fulgencio. There was a chance for people to look at some of the dogs up for adoption and to give them a permanent home.

Summer Holiday

The AECC (Contra El Cancer) office at the Playa Flamenca commercial centre is now closed for a summer break and will reopen on Monday September 5th. The August break also applies to the AECC volunteer table at

Zenia Boulevard, which will resume on the same date. If anyone needs to contact the AECC or make an appointment, this can still be done through the website www.pinkladies.es. In an emergency, you can call Maria on 633 487 595.

Choosing The Right Family Dog

Police Praised

The Rojales-based Easy Horse Care Rescue Centre has rescued a pony found wandering by Almoradí's sports centre, after Centre co-founders Sue and Rod Weeding were given a call by the Almoradi local police. Sue said: "We're extremely impressed by the way local police acted with this case – they asked for the pony's age, breed and condition to note in their report and also brought a microchip reader with them, although it turned out the pony wasn't chipped. Eight years ago, this would never have happened, and the local force should be commended on their stance over animal welfare." The rescue came as the centre is trying to save a two-year-old foal named Lily, who suffered a stable injury. X-rays revealed she is suffering from a fractured vertebrae that may leave her permanently disabled. The injury is believed to have

been caused by a severe impact to her neck one night while she was in her stable, which came as the centre suffered a string of breakins. Lily's condition had worsened in recent weeks with blood tests revealing that she is suffering from tick fever, and has been getting treatment at the Hospital Veterinario San Vicente in Alicante City. And the early signs look good, as Lily had a positive ultrasound result, and is walking a lot better and eating a lot more hay! The Easy Horse Care Rescue Centre, located just outside Rojales at Partido Lo Garriga, 59, will be open thi s coming Sunday between 1.00 pm and 4.00 pm. A free horse tour with centre cofounder Rod Weeding starts at 2.00 pm and refreshments are available in the café. For more details and directions, please visit www.easyhorsecare.net.

A dog can be the most rewarding of pets, but also one of the most demanding. Before you acquire a dog please think first. Is there really time for a dog in your life and your home, and can you commit to your dog for at least 15 years, or possibly many many more? Dogs of all ages are appealing, so it is easy to get carried away with the idea of taking a dog home without thinking of the consequences. Your dog’s health and happiness will be your responsibility, so if you do not think you can provide care for the rest of the dog’s life, then take a hard a view and do not have one. Remember, you will be responsible for behaviour – your dog must be taught good manners and be well socialised. Should unforeseen circumstances arise and you can no longer care for the pet, a dog with bad manners might face an

uncertain future. What Breed Of Dog? Before you take on a dog, consider what type suits you best. For example, a terrier will have a different temperament from a herding breed, and a guarding breed will be different from a toy breed. There are many books and magazines devoted to giving information on breed differences, so conduct your research carefully and in depth before committing. There are also breed rescue societies, dedicated to particular breeds, and websites giving good information on dogs and their care. . In the case of a crossbred dog, remember it is more difficult to judge what the predominant behaviour trait might be, so get as much information about the individual dog as you can. However, many crossbreeds carry the best traits of both parents, and make wonder-

ful companions. Going For An Adult An adult dog may be a better option than a puppy, because the dog will probably be house trained and more settled. Your dog will probably have passed the chewing and destructive stage of life, and habits – both good and bad will have been formed! However, do remember that an adult dog will reflect previous upbringing, so there may be some problems to try to overcome. Do not be swayed by the appearance of the dog – a dog’s temperament and previous history are the important factors. For example, a rescue dog may not like cats, or may not be able to live with children. If the dog has behaviour problems (for example it cannot be left alone for long), the staff at a local shelter should be able to give advice and assistance in order to overcome the dogs problem.

Asking The Right Questions Have you been given sufficient information about the dog’s history and their likes and their dislikes? Have you had a chance to take the dog for a walk and play together so you can see what the dog is like away from the kennels or a rescue centre, or away from his or her current home? Do you have a full veterinary history? What illnesses or operations has the dog had? What vaccinations have been given and have you seen proof, such as vaccination certificates? What help or advice is available should there be veterinary or behavioural problems after you have taken the new family dog home ? Enjoy Your New Friend If you research carefully and make sure you are prepared and able to spend the time, money and energy on your new companion, you will reap the rewards!

TRELI ON THE TELLY WITH ALEX TRELINSKI

It’s great to spin through all the channels in this multichoice area and to stumble across something that had me hooked straight away and it was all to do with making breakfast cereals! It was a late night last week on BBC 2 and I came across a documentary series fronted by Gregg Wallace and Cherry Healey called Inside The Factory, which apparently already has had a first series. Be that as it may, I was drawn in on the process of making Weetabix and Kellogg’s cornflakes and the sheer scale of it all, including how much the of the production line is fully automated.

A Revealing Watch

It was gripping stuff and I returned this week to look at how crisps are produced including a trip to the massive Walkers plant in Leicester. Next week’s episode, would you believe it, looks at baked beans and I wonder if we are talking of a trip to Heinz and the secrets of their gorgeous sauce that goes along with it? I doubt it, but Inside The Factory is a good example of how television should both inform and educate by showing us something that we would never normally see. There was no happy ending at all to the mini-series, The Secret Agent, on BBC 1,

despite the best and honourable intentions of nice copper Stephen Graham. It was Vicky McClure’s episode and the stunning use of silence as hubby Toby Jones spun a lot of rubbish over the death of her brother was superb, before she literally put the knife in. We did get a happy ending though for the last ever episode of The Musketeers (also on BBC 1), but much as I’ve been a strong advocate of the show, this third series got it badly wrong. The strength of The Musketeers over the first two runs was the fact that it was mainly tongue-in-cheek with

plenty of laughs, but new bosses decided to make some kind of socio-political point with a serious edge for most of the time which just wasn’t right and seemed strange given what had gone before. What a shame. I like politically-based drama and the scheming in a Middle Eastern state in the Fox series Tyrant (on Fox UK) is a joy, as our hero (at the start of series three) becomes acting president of a divided country, whilst his nasty brother lies in hospital in a coma after a failed assasination attempt from his daughter-inlaw. You’re never sure who to trust in this show created by

the man who came up with the original version of Homeland for Israeli television, and it’s just nice to get something fresh at this time of year, like with The Secret Agent as well. British TV misses not having a nightly chat and entertainment show, but not the rubbish that Channel Five tried with Rylan Clark earlier in the year. Fortunately, there are ways and means in getting some of the best Stateside efforts like tuning in to the UK Comedy Central channel to watch the Daily Show fronted by Trevor Noah. The amiable South African has been on British screens

doing turns on Live at the Apollo and QI, but he now hosts the nightly satirical political review and is excellent on it. Likewise James Corden on CBS’s Late Late Show (available via SKY on demand), where his Carpool Karoke routines are a joy, like the recent one driving around the White House grounds with Michelle Obama. It’s great to see Noah and Corden doing so well in the States but it also shows up a big hole in the UK by nobody being capable of producing a late-evening “appointment to view” with a big name presenter and a budget and production team to match.

Rio 2016: Opening Ceremony

Friday 5 August 11.35pm-2.00am BBC ONE The BBC will bring audiences comprehensive coverage of this year’s Summer Olympics with more than 3,000 hours of live sporting action across TV, Radio and online. Clare Balding presents live coverage of the Opening Ceremony of the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio, with commentary from

Hazel Irvine and Andrew Cotter. Four years on from the memorable London 2012 Games, the Greatest Show On Earth heads to South America for the first time. The showpiece event on the sporting calendar begins with the Opening Ceremony in which all 207 competing nations will have their chance to parade with their flag in the iconic Maracana Stadium.

The 80s With Dominic Sandbrook

Ep 2/3 Thursday 11 August 9.00pm-10.00pm BBC TWO The second episode sees mid-1980s Britain wrestling with two contradictory impulses: the rise of a strong nationalist sentiment, and the emergence of an increasingly globalised world. Episode two: Under Pressure By the middle of the decade, Britain felt like an embattled nation, facing threats from enemies within as well as without; a nation struggling to establish an identity on the global stage, and also to re-establish what it means to be British. This was the period that forever marked the 80s as a

decade of conflict and division. But not all those conflicts were obvious - some were fought with bullets, others with money; some were fought in our homes, others in our heads. This episode examines everything from the invasion of the Falkland Islands to the invasion of the home computer and the moral panic surrounding ‘video nasties’; from the Americanisation of our popular culture to the picket line skirmishes playing out nightly on our televisions; from the spectre of AIDS and the threat of the IRA, to immigration and identity politics.

Highlands Scotland's Wild Heart

Ep 1/4 Friday 5 August 9.00pm-10.00pm BBC TWO Highland’s - Scotland’s Wild Heart follows the course of the seasons over a wild year in the Highlands, with narration from Ewan McGregor. The first episode, Spring - The Season Of Extremes opens with the hills on fire as the annual muir-burn takes place in the Cairngorms. As the flames rise, an osprey is returning to a valley near Loch Ness. Filmed for the first time in super slowmotion at 800 frames per second, every detail of the bird’s incredible fishing behaviour is revealed as never before. Red squirrels and roe deer are also preparing for the breeding season, while a cataclysmic downpour has major consequences for a family of dippers. These small and plucky birds nest under waterfalls, and when their home river turns into a thundering torrent, they’re forced to fledge early before the nest is swept away. The series has been produced by Maramedia, which made the acclaimed Hebrides – Islands On The Edge. Pictured: cameraman Raymond Besant

BLT Stuffed Black Pepper Gougeres We love the gougeres. They’re just so good; the super thin and crisp exterior followed by an almost creamy center is really addicting. Makes about 30. Ingredients: black pepper gougeres: 1 1/2 cups water 1 1/2 cups all purpose

Top Tip

I’ve bought kilograms of butter, over 100 eggs and 10 litres of milk. In the past couple of days, after the last of the leftover ingredients and dishes were slowly put to good use, I opened the fridge to discover that I was down to the bare minimum: eggs, milk, butter and bread. I could have reverted to my standby: scrambled eggs on toast, but I have been dreaming about cinnamon toast since re-reading The Borrowers earlier this year, and quickly latched onto that idea. Traditional cinnamon toast (the one I remember from childhood) is heavily buttered white toast, sprinkled liberally with sugar and cinnamon. This one is a little more substantial, slightly

more grown up and - most importantly - used up what I had left in the fridge. Serves 2 Ingredients 2 large slices slightly stale bread 2 eggs 2tbsp milk Pinch salt 2tbsp butter 1/2tsp icing sugar 1/2tsp ground cinnamon Pinch nutmeg Equipment Flat dish Fork Frying pan Sieve. 1. In the flat dish, whisk the eggs, salt and milk together. Push the slices of bread into the mixture, leaving them for around a minute before turning them over. The time here

is really down to how robust your bread is - sourdough can take a minute a side (it would be fine if you forgot about it for a good few minutes, actually), softer bread will need less time. 2. Melt the butter in the frying pan over a medium heat until it is frothing, then lay the bread in the pan. Cook for around two minutes, until golden underneath. Flip over and cook the other side for two minutes too. The butter will brown during this time – if you’d rather it didn’t, you can use clarified butter, but I quite like the nutty flavor that brown butter lends. 3. Remove the toast from the pan, then sprinkle with the icing sugar, nutmeg and cinnamon. Serve immediately.

Brexit: Farmers now regret vote over subsidy fears

Lime chicken tortilla wraps

Parliament warned dropping funding for farming will 'collapse the fabric of rural society'

Many British farmers are experiencing ‘Regrexit’ over fears they may lose agricultural subsidies, the Earl of Sandwich has told Parliament. Speaking in a House of Lords debate, John Montagu said many farmers had voted “without understanding the consequences” and were now in dismay over news

they may not receive the same level of payouts made under the EU's Common Agricultural Policy. “In 2013, farmers received €2.6bn (about £2.2bn) under pillar 1 [an EU funding term] and €637m (£538m) for agrienvironment and rural development under 'green' pillar 2," he said. “So how will the UK

Government ensure that British farmers continue to receive these payments? We have already heard that they may not. "There are fears that direct payments will be significantly less under the new Government because of the continuing need for austerity.” The Earl, who said he had voted in favour of remaining in the EU, added that without farm payments, the countryside would suffer. “Perhaps the Minister will clarify that. He may not know the answer yet but he will know that farmers will have to receive this level of support or the whole fabric of rural society and the countryside will collapse – we heard of the situation in Wales," he said. He said the majority of

people in his home of west Dorset, particularly in the agricultural community, had voted to leave and were now worried about how Brexit would work, and the financial impact it would have on UK farms. Baroness Jones of Whitchurch said the "real challenge for farmers" related to the decision over whether the UK will be "allowed to remain in the single market, with its 500 million customers". "At the moment, 73 per cent of the UK’s total agrifood exports are to other EU countries," she said. But he told the Lords that British farming was a critical component of the UK’s economic success and assured the house the government would strike positive trade deals with the EU.

Ingredients Serves: 10 675g (1 1/2 lb) skinless chicken breast fillets, diced 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar. 1/2 lime, juiced, 1 teaspoon caster sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, 2 spring onions, chopped, 2 cloves garlic, minced, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 10 flour tortilla wraps, 1 tomato, diced 1/2 iceberg lettuce, shredded, 50g (2 oz) grated Cheddar cheese, 10 tablespoons tomato salsa.

high heat for about 20 minutes. Add vinegar, lime juice, sugar, salt, pepper, spring onion, garlic and oregano. Simmer for 10 minutes. Heat a heavy frying pan over medium heat. Place a tortilla in the pan, warm, and turn over to heat the other side. Repeat with remaining tortillas. Serve lime chicken mixture in warm tortillas topped with tomato, lettuce, cheese and salsa. Shortcut: Instead of warming the tortillas one-by-one on the hob, wrap them in aluminium foil and place them in the oven on medium heat to warm up whilst you prepare the chicken.

Summer – waking up to the birds and wondering what to do with the day sounds like perfect planning CRAMMING ACTIVITIES? When I consider all the wonderful kid’s activities on offer these days, it certainly seems as if we’ve become more child-centred in focus than during my own 1970s childhood. Obviously a good thing, but coupled with our fear of letting children become bored, it can lead to a tendency to cram too much in. It’s easy to feel guilt when our children are left to get bored. I can picture many times when I’ve promised trips to the playground, qualified with “Just let me finish the ironing / do the hovering/answer a few emails and we’ll go,” and felt terrible as it takes longer than planned and I can hear disappointed groans and moans in the background. ALLOWING THE REAL FUN Yet actually, when children are unintentionally left to become bored, it’s often when the real fun happens. In my own home, it often revolves around potions. Murky ones, found lurking in corners of the house much later – in good weather there’ll be ‘perfume’ made in buckets outside, on rainy days there’ll be a request for a tea bag, the chalk will disappear, the bathroom door will close and I’ll know there’s a stinky potion being concocted. I may miss the sunny prettiness of all the primroses in my garden when they’re de-headed for perfume and groan myself a little at the clearing up to do after

indoor potion-making but I have to smile too as this is exactly the sort of play that reminds me of my own childhood games. Rebecca Fossett, who lives with husband Joe and Children Leo and Daisy on a small farm from which they run camel treks in Warwickshire, similarly remembers enjoying a 1970s childhood and is appreciative of the self-reliance and spirit of adventure that it’s instilled in her (she went on to work with lions in a circus before training camels). She recalls: “My childhood was spent on the back of my pony, often used as a form of transport to meet friends. I was very lucky as there was far less traffic around, I’d be out for hours. I didn’t have a mobile phone, I’d call when I got to my friend’s house. If something went wrong I had to sort it out for myself and I think this is really important – having this sort of freedom teaches you to look after yourself.”

THE UNSCHEDULED SUMMER Allowing our children to enjoy some of this type of freedom doesn’t have to be restricted to a country upbringing of course. An unscheduled summer holiday can be great fun in a town or city, especially if you live in a neighbourhood with lots of children nearby – messing about on scooters or playing football in the street until far too late is great fun anywhere. As is having your best friend over for a sleepover, chatting and eating marshmallows from sleeping bags in the back garden. Alison Wright, Mum of Nathan (7) reminded me of my own suburban free-range childhood when she recalled growing up in the 1970s in Coventry: “A gang of us used to go off on our bikes all over, we played out in the street, went to the park on our bikes, found frogs on some common ground. We fell out, we made up and we just had a lot of fun.

JASON BOURNE REVIEW

DIRECTOR Paul Greengrass GENRE Action, Thriller SYNOPSIS The most dangerous former operative of the CIA is drawn out of hiding to uncover hidden truths about his past. RELEASE DATE 29 July 2016 (USA) DURATION 2h 3mins

Jason Bourne is an entirely unnecessary movie sequel. It’s not that his return isn’t welcome. The CIA operativeturned-amnesiac-turnedrogue-agent-out-for-revenge is a great character; the ultimate anti-hero who – thanks to some superb scripts and the casting of Matt Damon – became so much more than your average spy. The problem is that he’s at the

centre of a perfect movie trilogy (we’ll ignore that Jeremy Renner spin-off, as the filmmakers certainly have). Identity, Supremacy and Ultimatum gave his story a graceful arc as Jason uncovered the dark secrets of his past and eventually punished those responsible in the present. The films were even bookended by the image of Bourne floating on the water, and while that might not have been planned from the off, it was nevertheless a fitting way to say farewell to the character at Ultimatum’s end. The pair meet in Athens during protests outside the Greek Parliament, but they are being watched, prompting the film’s first action sequence – an

exciting if somewhat overlong chase through the middle of a riot, filmed using the series’ trademark shaky-cam that lends authenticity to scenes while at the same time stirring nausea. And so we’re back into classic Bourne territory, with our hero’s efforts to learn yet more about his past juxtaposed with the CIA’s struggle to once again either bring him in or take him out. Key players in this operation include CIA Director Robert Dewey (Tommy Lee Jones), a gruff veteran who clearly knows more about Bourne’s past than he’s letting on, Heather Lee (Alicia Vikander) head of the Agency’s cyber division, who uses tech to counter her opponent’s

smarts, and ‘The Asset’ (Vincent Cassel), an assassin as skilled as Bourne in the art of killing. Tech billionaire Aaron Kalloor (Riz Ahmed) is another new addition – the Zuckerberg-like founder and CEO of social network Deep Dream Corporation. He’s big on safety and security online, preaching that “privacy is freedom,” but there’s more to Deep Dream than meets the eye, and his story soon becomes inextricably linked with Bourne’s. This plot strand brings the series into the twenty-first century, allowing Greengrass and co-screenwriter/long-time collaborator Christopher Rouse to question where we’re at in a postSnowden, Wikileaks world.

Arenal Sound Returns: The Most Heavily Attended Festival

More than 55,000 'sounders' will enjoy during six days of one of the best musical experiences of the summer. Camping, concerts, boat parties, beach and pool are the essence of the Arenal Sound, returning to the Castellon town of Burriana between the 2nd to the 7th of August. A young festival that is gaining 'sounders' year after year by the great atmosphere and the magnificent line-up that always accompanies it. This year will leave us speechless with Kaiser Chiefs, Two Door Cinema Club, Crystal Fighters, The 1975, The Hives, Kodaline, Steve Aoki, Crystal Castles, Love of Lesbian, Izal, La Raíz, La Pegatina and many more. Everyone can enjoy the party, the Arenal beach or the 'suquet de peix' on a terrace facing the sea. Arenal Sound is more than a festival, it is an experience to enjoy along with friends at a campsite on the

edge of the beach, to dance on the sand, swim in the private beach, watch the sunrise from the Beach Club, disappearing into the crowd of an indie, rock, pop or electronic music concert. In short, Arenal Sound is music and fun galore. Are you going to miss it? The Arenal differs from other festivals because of its proximity to the beach (one of the stages is situated on the sand). Thanks to the popular price of their tickets, it has been becoming one of the highlights of the summer season. In fact, it is the most heavily attended festival of the Spanish geography. In this edition of 2016 the attendance of more than 55,000 people is estimated. It is worth the visit for the quality of the line-up and great atmosphere of the Castellon town of Burriana during those days.

Blindspot A woman finds herself naked in the center of Times Square in a duffel bag, with no memory of how she got t h e r e . Mysterious tattoos covering her body are the only clues she has to uncover the secret of her past. Working with an FBI agent, she discovers that her tattoos are linked to a dark underworld of criminal activity.

Careful What You Wish For A young man named Doug Martin finds himself caught up in a dangerous scandal after he has an illicit affair with Lena, the wife of an investment banker, as a suspicious death and a life insurance policy with a generous payout result in dire consequences for him. Doug will learn that he has no idea what people are capable of when they're pushed to their limits, and his failure to acknowledge the risks of his secret tryst with Lena will get him far more than he bargained for.

How to get an hour's exercise every day - even when you work in an office Contact@medb.es

Website: www.medb.es

People who sit down all day need an hour of exercise

You’re reading this at your desk. You are slumped, as usual, over your keyboard. Your hand rests heavily on your mouse. Occasionally you twitch it to open a new tab or email. The only other movement you make is the flickering of your eyes from webpage to webpage. And now, you learn, clicking on a headline and casting your eye down the article, that office workers - people like you - must exercise for an hour a day to counter the death risk of modern working lifestyles. Tweak your routine The good news is that walking counts. Brisk, but walking nevertheless. Walk

10 minutes to the station every day? Make sure to work up a sweat. Including your return walk home, that’s 20 minutes - a third of your overall target. If the bus stop is outside your house, then there's probably no hope for you but see if you can’t trot bleary-eyed to the next stop instead. And if you drive, park further from the office than you normally would, or go for a stroll once you’ve parked. Oh, and take the stairs instead of the lift - but you knew that. And you do it. Right? Exercise at your desk No, no honestly. Stay with me. Nobody wants to look

like a twerp, but nobody wants to die young either. And there are exercises you can do, in your office, that

will not only count towards that target, but also tone you up. We suggest walking a couple of paces away from your desk, and then doing press-ups against the desk’s edge. It’s good for “impressing your workplace crush”, they say, optimistically. And there’s plenty more where that came from. Lifting heavy books. Doing squats against the wall. Your desk is your oyster. Just don't expect to have anyone to eat lunch with. Use an app Tracking your steps can help you motivate yourself to take a few more, not least by telling you how many calories you’ve burnt in doing so. You don’t need a

Fitbit or other wearable tech to use them - smartphones do the same thing. Apple Health is good enough on its own, but try Map My Fitness on Android, or RunKeeper if you want to go a bit faster. And if you want to forget that you’re doing exercise, use augmentedreality apps like Pokémon Go. Buy some equipment If all this seems too amateurish, then bring out the big guns. Try a standing desk - they can sit on top of your normal desk, ready to be erected when you feel like looming over your colleagues. Or, even better, the treadmill desk. Alternatively, you can stand on a balance

ADVANTAGES OF EXERCISE No. 1: Exercise improves mood Need an emotional lift? Or need to blow off some steam after a stressful day? A workout at the gym or a brisk 30-minute walk can help. Physical activity stimulates various brain chemicals that may leave you feeling happier and more relaxed. You may also feel better about your appearance and yourself when you exercise regularly, which can boost your confidence and improve your self-esteem. No. 2: Exercise boosts energy. Winded by grocery shopping or household chores? Regular physical activity can improve your muscle strength and boost your endurance. Exercise and physical activity deliver oxygen and nutrients to your tissues and help your cardiovascular system work more efficiently. And when your heart and lungs work more efficiently, you have more energy to go about your daily chores.

board while you work, strengthening your core, or secretly pedal away under your desk. Get up more often The same scientists who found that office workers need an hour’s exercise a day, say that a five-minute hourly break can help. Go outside for a coffee, say, or find a colleague in person rather than communicate over email. Tethering exercise to humdrum working activities can help: some people recommend using a phone headset, so you can stroll around as you talk. Exercise at home You could just go for a run or something, but if it’s too cold/warm/wet/dry, then there’s still no excuse: exercise at home. Web-based workouts bring all the benefits of the gym without the need to actually physically transport yourself there. High-intensity interval training - where you push yourself as hard as you can for very short amounts of time will do you a lot more good in five minutes than an hour’s walking. And you can do it anywhere you can do a pressup (except, perhaps the side of your office desk).

Hospital admissions for drug-related problems reach decade high in UK More people are ending up in hospital with physical or mental health problems related to drug use than at any time in the past 10 years, despite an overall fall in the number of people using illegal drugs, figures show. There were 14,279 cases of people admitted to hospital with a primary diagnosis of poisoning by illicit drugs in

England in 2014-15, the latest year for which figures are available – a 57% rise since 2004-05 and up 2% year on year. At the same time, 74,801 hospital admissions resulted in a primary or secondary diagnosis of drug-related mental health and behavioural disorders, a 9% rise over 2013-14 and more than dou-

ble the level of 10 years ago, according to the data from the Health and Social Care Information Centre (HSCIC). The figures will prove uncomfortable for policymakers who say they are keen to minimise the harm caused by drugs in society, particularly with separate data from the crime survey of England and Wales, also published on

Thursday, showing a continued decline in drug use. Despite that, deaths from drug poisoning are at an all-time high. Shirley Cramer, chief executive of the Royal Society for Public Health (RSPH), which last month called for the decriminalisation of drugs, said the contrasting figures showed up UK drugs policy as

a “continued failure”. She said: “Despite falls in use, more people are dying and suffering serious harm to their health from drug misuse than ever before. This is largely a result of a drugs policy that has over-focused on criminal justice at the expense of public health, pushing the most vulnerable users to the margins of society and dis-

couraging them from coming forward for treatment and support. “Across the globe, many countries have started to turn this situation around by decriminalising drug use and moving towards policies based on public health and harm reduction. Given yet more evidence that harm to the public is increasing.

When Doctors Treat Disease Symptoms Rather than Causes An unfortunate aspect of the modern day health care system is that it focuses more on treating symptoms rather than curing diseases. When was the last time you heard about a cure for a disease? Since the past 50 years when modern medicine became purely pharmaceutical based, there seems to be a lack of interest in curing diseases, only managing symptoms. Critics believe that this unfortunate state of events may have something to do with the fact that pharmaceutical companies are privately owned corporations. And like all corporations, the primary interest is to make as much profit for shareholders as possible. Managing symptoms rather than treating the cause of illnesses will ensure that the patient continues to take medications

for the rest of their lives. Managing symptoms for life may not be such a bad idea but for the fact that chemical drugs also cause serious ‘side effects’. These so called side effects are not side effects, but t h e effects o f the medication o n

everyone taking them, and when these effects become pronounced, they are regarded as side effects. History shows that before the 1950s, before the dominance of pharmaceutical health care, the aim of scientists was to cure diseases. Tuberculosis, Scurvy, Beriberi, and Rickets were very serious and life-threatening diseases for which a cure was developed. But this has not been the case in the last 50 years. Today, what used to be considered signs of illnesses are now considered diseases. High blood pressure, for example, is only an indication of a malfunctioning system somewhere in the body, not just in the heart. High blood pressure can occur due to infections, hormonal imbalances, high toxicity, damage to nerves, etc. But today, high blood pressure is nearly always considered a disease of the heart and arteries. Pain is equally a symptom, a warning that something is not right somewhere in the body. Treating pain without investigating the cause of

the pain is like stopping a fire alarm without investigating the cause of the alarm. Painkillers cause chronic damage to the liver and kidneys due to their toxic nature. High cholesterol is another warning sign now treated as a disease. Cholesterol is essential for synthesizing many vital chemicals as well as protecting many organs in the body. Blood cholesterol increases to counteract inflammation. When drugs are taking to block cholesterol, inflammation continues

unchecked, leading to health problems that may occur within days or weeks of starting cholesterol lowering medications. High sugar in the blood otherwise called Diabetes type 2 is a sign that the body is developing insulin resistance most likely caused by consuming a lot of refined carbohydrates. High blood sugar is the body’s way of warning us to reconsider our diet. Find out as much as you can about the diseases you’ve been told you have,

as well as the medications you’ve been prescribed. Most people believe that there’s no cure for diseases. And yes there are some diseases that may be incurable, but most diseases can be cured by identifying and treating the underlying causes. Even incurable diseases can always be improved on by improving nutrition and making the right lifestyle changes, rather than taking more medications.

Is WHEAT the reason you feel bloated?

Gwyneth Paltrow and tennis ace Novak Djokovic have praised the benefits of cutting out gluten from their diets

Order a ‘bunless burger’ or even a ‘breadless sandwich’ at a restaurant today, and it’s likely no one will bat an eyelid. Go back a decade, however, and your waiter would have thought you were bonkers to want a sandwich without two slices from a loaf wrapped round it. So who caused the breadless revolution that’s led so many to ditch wheat? Some people suffer from

IBS-type gut symptoms, which disappear when gluten is removed from their diet. Perhaps to your surprise, that becoming a lifestyle coeliac could transform your life — or that your tummy problems and lethargy could be caused by coeliac lite. Legions of celebrities and sports stars have restricted their gluten intake to improve their health, waistline and fitness, among them tennis stars Novak Djokovic and

Sabine Lisicki, ex-U.S President Bill Clinton and his daughter Chelsea, and actresses Rachel Weisz and Scarlett Johansson, as well as Victoria Beckham and singers Katy Perry and Lady Gaga. No wonder, then, that giving up gluten is no longer the preserve of the glossy stars like Gwyneth — and instead seems to be becoming a real cure for ordinary people’s health problems.

My Friend Bill – The Inside Story Of An Outsider MY mate Fag Ash Bill is an ever-present pal in my pub life apart from the times he is a never-present which seems to be most of the time. Confused? So are we, his cronies at the hostelry. For although Fag Ash Bill figures in all of our fun, he is literally an outsider. Fag Ash Bill stands outside the pub day after day because he smokes his ciggies continuously. He can't enter the premises because it is illegal so what usually happens is that when Fag Ash Bill hears the sound of money changing hands over the bar, he knows that a round of drinks is being purchased and then shouts his order from the street. One of the others in our small band -- Indoor Lou, Fearful Phil, Daft Barry or

myself -- will grab a glass as the drinks are being poured and pass it to Fag Ash Bill who takes it with the hand that isn't holding the cigarette and without him having to move from his pavement spot. Dave the barman never vacates his post to hand Fag Ash Bill his drink because he feels he dare not leave the bar. Dave believes, quite irrationally and indeed even insultingly to the rest of us, that, as soon as his back is turned, one of his customers will leap over the bar and nick an optic bottle. On the other hand, our leader and mentor Andromeda Arkwright, quite rationally and understandably, stays on the alert in case . . . well, in case one of us leaps over the bar and

nicks an optic bottle. I spoke earlier about some confusion surrounding Fag Ash Bill staying in the street. I mean why would our pub pal sacrifice fun-packed hours inside the hostelry for a solitary stance outside? David Silver, investigative reporter, decided to investigate and report. 'I stay out here because I like to help people,' said Fag Ash Bill, sitting on the kerb while I conducted the interview. 'Please elaborate,' I said softly but directly in my smoothest investigative reporter voice. 'Well, it's like this,' said Fag Ash Bill, dumping two cigarettes and lighting up three others. 'Folk approach me with all sorts of inquiries. 'They ask me: What's the right time? What number bus

comes into town? Do you think it will rain? What number bus goes out of town? What's on at the cinema? What number bus avoids town completely?' I put down my investigative reporter's notebook and pencil. 'Strictly, off the record, Bill, is helping people your only motive for wanting to stay out here?' A slight breeze momentarily blew away the ciggy smoke from around Fag Ash Bill's features and I caught his guilty expression. 'It's okay, Bill,' I soothed him. 'I promise you that not a word of this conversation will pass my lips. Feel free to confess.' Minutes later, I was back in the pub. 'You'll never guess what Fag Ash Bill has just told me in strict secrecy,' I declared to the others.

'Fag Ash Bill is a big fibber. He says he stays out there on the street to help people. But then he confessed that for every question asked of him he charges a fee of one cigarette.' We marched outside to remonstrate with Bill and demonstrate to him the error of his greedy ways but he'd disappeared. 'Well,' shrugged Dave the barman. 'There wouldn't have been much point in barring him from the pub anyway considering that he already isn't allowed in.' And then in the distance we saw Fag Ash Bill slowly approaching. As he came into closer view, we noticed he was holding a clutch of glowing dog-ends in one hand and an actual whole dog in the other. 'I've done it, fellas!' he

crowed. 'I knew Dave Silver would never keep his mouth shut after his awful impersonation of an investigative reporter. But I felt so guilty anyway about bumming ciggies off folk that I nipped home, grabbed all my empty fag packets and cartons, took them down to the cardboard recycling plant and swapped the lot for this cute puppy which I am going to donate to the orphans home.' 'Hurrah for Bill!' we cheered as we raced along the street to greet him. We raised Fag Ash Bill onto our shoulders and marched back to the pub for a celebratory drink. But first we made sure to dump him on the pavement because, of course, he was smoking and couldn't come in.

Tesla fatal crash driver was exceeding the speed limit

Joshua Brown, 40, a former naval seal turned technology entrepreneur, was also breaking the speed limit driving at 74 mph in a 65 mph zone, according to the National Transportation Safety Board. The death of Mr Brown was the first involving a “self driving car”, a shorthand term for vehicles fitted with an array of safety features designed to prevent crashes when a motorist’s concentration slips.

He was using the Tesla’s autopilot system which includes a battery of devices including cameras, radar and sensors to prevent collisions taking place. The NTSB examined the crashed Tesla’s system performance data and found that Mr Bown was using the traffic aware cruise control system, designed to maintain a safe distance between other cars and technology known as “autosteer lane keeping assistance” intend-

ed to prevent vehicles from drifting. Mr Brown’s Tesla was also equipped with automatic brakes which were designed to prevent head on collisions. Although drivers are instructed to keep their hands on the steering wheel and maintain control of the car, the crash will raise concerns about the effectiveness of autopilot systems which are being developed by a number of companies including Google and Uber.

Porsche 911 R: Can a used sports car be worth £1 million? Porsche is only making 991 examples and they’re all sold, so you can’t get a new one

What would you pay for a used 911? If it’s a previouslyowned Porsche 911 R then the answer appears to be one million pounds. For a car that cost £136,901 when new that’s a monumental increase. However, Magnitude Finance has some slightly better news if you were thinking of buying one. The high-end car financing company reckons you’ll only have to pay, on average, about £550,000 if you want one of the limited production and highly desirable 911s with the normally aspirated

engine and manual gearbox. Second-hand of course. Porsche is only making 991 examples and they’re all sold, so you can’t get a new one. Demand is so high that it’s driving the used price through the roof. However, this relentless pressure on prices is also being

seen

elsewhere in the Porsche range. T h e Cayman G T 4 , also like the 911 R, has seen its u s e d prices risi n g thanks to limited production and a soldout sticker on everything. Some examples are

reaching £100,000. The Macan is being built with no limit on production, but high demand has pushed up the waiting list to about eight months. That too is feeding through into higher prices being paid for used examples. Some people will pay a premium just to get a Macan rather than waiting for a new one. Limiting production is one way of pretty much ensuring this, which is why Porsche has been criticized for doing just that, but with the Macan it appears they’re simply a victim of their own success.

Blann Blasts Levante

Bauke Bags It Sandy Sport Bauke Mollema partly made up for his recent late collapse at the Tour de France by winning the oneday Clasica San Sebastian in northern Spain last weekend. The Trek-Segafredo rider attacked out of a four-man lead group at the summit of the final climb, with 8.1km to go, and hung on down the descent to the finish line to win by five seconds. Mollema had been second overall with three stages of the Tour to go but then suffered a major collapse and plummeted to 11th.

He said: "It's one of my favourite races and I'm really happy to win. I felt good all day and recovered from the Tour. The last days of the Tour de France were really disappointing for me and it was a good way to fight back. I showed I am in good form and also, looking forward to the Olympics, this is a great result. "It's really nice to win a big classic like this; it's the first WorldTour classic I have won. I have always wanted to be on the podium of this race."

A beach volleyball court has been added to the faciltiies at the San Pedro del Pinatar municipal sports centre. The 28 thousand euro court measuring 16 by

8 metres was officially opened by San Pedro mayor Visitación Martínez, with the centre also seeing improvements to the tennis court and changing rooms.

Off To Ibiza

Another For Torry

23-year-old midfielder Carlos Carrasco Llorens known as "Carrasco" is the latest addition to the CD Torrevieja squad for their latest campaign (More signings and news of their latest friendly match on page 45).

He has played for several teams in Group Six of the third division and was always a regular fixture in the starting eleven for CD Acero, SC Requena, UD Alzira, as well as for Quintanar del Rey and last season, UB Conquense.

Five yachts from the SAMM (Sailing Association Mar Menor) Cruising Group with 18 crew members had an enjoyable summer trip to Ibiza and Formentera and instead of the “Famous Five” rations of sandwiches and ginger beer, each boat packed aboard enough groceries for four people to last out a fortnight! The best laid plans were to see the yachts, Lotti, Berti, Ganty, Gemini J and Baltic Moon sail up the coast to Calpe and then cross to the islands in a flotilla before everybody went their own way for the week before meeting up again. The first day went well, but the next morning saw the well-laid plans go wrong. Ganty’s

engine would not start and Baltic Moon had battery problems so they were stuck for the day. Lotti, Berti and Gemini J weighed anchor at 5.00 am to find the bay blocked by a large fishing fleet but managed to find a way through to start their crossing. From then on, everybody had a great time visiting some lovely bays and meeting in San Antonio for a meal to celebrate the birthday of one of the skippers, with everybody getting back safe and sound to San Pedro del Pinatar after an enjoyable fortnight.

TORREVIEJA CC 253 FOR 2, LEVANTE Seconds 250 FOR 7 TORREVIEJA WIN BY EIGHT WICKETS An unbeaten century from Torrevieja batsman Leigh Blann saw the home side to a much-needed league win against a Levante side that have also found life tough in this current campaign. Torry won the toss and put the visitors in, and they got Ceasar Sampaio out for five, before removing Kyle Davies to leave Levante on an early wobble on 42 for 2. But they woke up to get a good total of 250 for 7 off their forty overs, with half centuries from Graham Hunt(89) and opener Tony Little(66), boosted by a late quickfire 22 from Andrew Lofthouse plus a high quota of 54 extras to give the home side a challenging

total to chase down. Pick of the Torry bowlers were Rahul Maini with 2 for 25 and Angus McDowall with 2 for 47. Torry started boldly with openers Chris Darwen and Leigh Blann putting on 78 for the first wicket in just 11 overs, before Darwen committed suicide by going for a quick single that even on his very best day, Usain Bolt would have struggled to make. The gift wicket brought Kalesh Singh to the crease and his quick fire 34 took Torrevieja to 141 for 2, whilst at the other end, Blann, had steadily reached 58 on the fall of the second Torry wicket. On Singh’s dismissal, Blann was joined by Kieran Wood and between them they started to punish the Levante bowlers for some fairly friendly bowling, as Torry romped in with five overs to spare, with Blann unbeaten on his top scorer of the campaign, with 119, whilst Wood was on 40. With the return fixture tomorrow (Saturday), Torrevieja will definitely fancy their chances ahead of a mini-break. They return to home action on Saturday August 27th when they entertain Valencia Stars, who they lost to by two wickets back in April.

Ivie Davies on Golf

Friday 5th August 2016

Thai Delight To Behold I have to admit that I watched the Ladies British Open on BBC TV over last weekend when it was played on the Marquess Course at Woburn Golf Club, Buckinghamshire and what a joy it was. Not because of the young girls hitting the ball unbelievable distances, but for many other reasons, such as no tantrums, uninterrupted coverage, excellent commentary from the BBC team and the master Peter Alliss, who in fact designed the course. Ariya Jutanugarn has integrated a smile into her pre-shot routine at this year’s women’s British Open, but her biggest grin of the week expressed relief as she sunk her putt on the 18th green to become the first ever Thai winner of a major. The 20year-old from Bangkok lost this year’s first Major – the ANA Inspiration when she bogeyed the last three holes to hand

the title to Lydia Ko but this time she made no such mistake despite running up a double bogey on the 13th which momentarily saw her three shot lead over South Korea’s Mirim Lee cut to just one. She says she produces the tight-lipped smile before each shot to help her relax, threatened to collapse on the back nine of Woburn’s Marquess course but just about clung on to her lead as she finished the tournament 16 under par, three shots clear of South Korean Mirim Lee and American Mo Martin. Jutanugarn has form for capitulating at the business end of her final round. She threw away a lead at the first major of the year in April by bogeying the last three holes, and in 2013 she triple bogeyed the 18th at the LPGA Thailand to surrender a two-shot advantage. After shooting a six on

the par-four 13th in Sunday’s pulsating final round, it looked like disaster may strike again. Lee, her playing partner, had shot three consecutive birdies to reduce the gap from six shots to one, while Martin hovered menacingly two shots behind. But Jutanugarn stood firm, and landed a snaking 25-foot birdie putt on the 17th hole before comfortably making par in front of the crowds on the final hole to secure her fourth title of the year. “For me it was hard today,” said Jutanugarn, who became the youngest player ever to qualify for an LPGA Tour event when she played the 2007 LPGA Thailand as an 11-yearold. “I felt a little bit nervous at times. “My mother cried at the end. She said thank you, and that made my day. I think this victory is really important for me and Thai

golf. I hope I can inspire some players in Thailand.” The victory also signals a remarkable transformation for the Thai player who 12 months ago endured her tenth missed cut in a row at the Ricoh Women’s British Open at Turnberry. Playing just a few minutes ahead of Jutanugarn, Scotland’s Catriona Matthew faded away from the leading pack on the final day. The 46-year-old, who had begun the round in fourth, briefly threatened to charge up the leaderboard after shooting two early birdies, but her flame flickered only briefly as five bogeys put an end to her hopes of a second Open victory. “I am disappointed but it was great fun playing in front of the crowd and being in the last groups,” said Matthew, who finished tied for fifth. “It was a great field this week, so top five is good stuff.

Hopefully I can carry it on for a few more weeks.” Home favourite Charley Hull, who fell out of contention after a disappointing three-over-par 75 on Saturday, hit five birdies on the first six holes in her final round, but a double bogey on the 13th killed her momentum, and she finished the tournament 11 shots off the lead. Playing at her home club, all eyes have been on the 20-year-old this week. Hull had admitted to feeling nervous in her early rounds, but insisted the added pressure did not hold her back. “It was brilliant,” she said. “I’ve enjoyed the whole week. Today I played great, apart from the last six holes, but I feel like my game is in good shape.” Hull will now prepare for the women’s golf at the Olympics, where she will play alongside Matthew in Rio. Ireland’s Leona Maguire

closed with a three over par 75 to win the race for the Smyth Salver awarded to the leading amateur who plays all four rounds of the Championship. Maguire’s four under par aggregate of 284 was enough to see her finish five shots ahead of Curtis Cup colleague Bronte Law after the English international dropped three shots over her last four holes to card a 74 and finish in a share of 47th place on one over par 289. Spanish teenager Maria Parra was the third amateur to make the cut. She ended her challenge with a 76 to finish in 73rd place on 297. But in my book the winners were Ladies golf and the welcome return, if only briefly, was watching and listening to constructive and entertaining not too technical commentary. Oh how I wish the BBC would come back to mainstream golf!

Walker’s PGA Boost Jimmy Walker has climbed 33 places to 15th in the world rankings after his US PGA Championship victory. The American, 37, held off Jason Day at Baltusrol, New Jersey, on Sunday to claim his first major. Australian Day, 28,

remains top of the rankings, followed by Americans Dustin Johnson and Jordan Spieth, and Northern Ireland's Rory McIlroy. Walker's career-high ranking of 10th came in April 2015 after he won the Valero Texas Open in San

Antonio. As for Walker’s PGA triumph, he took struggled to believe his accomplishment afterward, having missed the cut at the previous two majors in 2016. "It's surreal. I mean, it really is," he told reporters.

"I would have said it would have happened the last couple years, the way I was playing. I just had not quite played as well as I would have liked to this year but I knew it was close. I felt some things were clicking last week.”

TITTER ON THE TEE Miss Beatrice, the church organist, was in her eighties and had never been married. She was admired for her sweetness and kindness to all. One afternoon the Vicar came to call on her and she showed him into her quaint sitting-room. She invited him to have a seat while she prepared tea. As he sat facing her old Hammond organ, the young minister noticed a cut glass bowl sitting on top of it. The bowl was filled with water, and in the water floated of all things, a condom! When she returned with tea and scones, they began to chat. The Vicar tried to stifle his curiosity about the bowl of water and its strange floater, but soon it got the better of him and he could no longer resist. 'Miss Beatrice', he said, 'I wonder if you would tell me about this” pointing to the bowl. 'Oh, yes,' she replied, 'Isn't it wonderful? I was walking through the park a few months ago and I found this little package on the ground. The directions said to place it on the organ, keep it wet and that it would prevent the spread of disease. Do you know I haven't had the flu all winter?’

FA Community Shield A second successive four-nil pre-season defeat hardly looks great statistically for Torrevieja, but like with the Elche match the previous Saturday, the home side held their own for long periods of the game as manager Gabi Correa tried out different permutations in a match which saw the debut of 24year-old winger Pablo Navas. Against a side who last

season only just missed out on play off promotion to div 2A, Torry were more their equal for long periods, coming close to scoring on a couple of occasions within the first five minutes. Cesar showed his customary flair and fans were glad to welcome him back. Torry were unlucky not to score on 34 minutes, when Johnny´s acute close range shot smacked

against the post before bouncing to safety. Then within six minutes, Real Murcia had buried three into the back of the net courtesy of Roberto, Borja, and Jon Iru, which meant it was all over as a contest ahead of the interval. Correa changed the whole side at half-time, and Murcia made wholesale changes at the break and on the hour mark, but unlike the previous week

against Elche, the Torry youngsters put up a fight in the second period, not conceding the fourth and final goal until the 78th minute, when a well struck drive from Gabri found the inside of the far post. CD Torrevieja continue their pre-season build up tomorrow evening (Saturday) when go to the Pinatar stadium to take on Real Murcia Imperial with a 7.00 pm kick off.

Viva Zapata! 27-year-striker Alberto Zapata Mico "Zapata" has joined CD Torrevieja, after the Albacete-born player started playing in his area’s junior sides. Zapata played for Quintanar del Rey, Athletic Ibañes, Munera CF, and UB Conquense, with a high strike rate for all of those sides. Also joining signing up for CD Torrevieja, is the 32year - old goalkeeper Alejandro Marcano Sierra "Marcano", who played 30 games last season for CD Eldense in the 2nd B division, with extensive experience as well in the third division. Born in the Northern City of Santander, Marcano’s long CV includes clubs like

Belforti Signing Argentinian midfielder José Belforti has joined CD Torrevieja, after playing for 2nd division B side CD Eldense last season.

Eldin Waits Sergio’s Replacement?

25-year-old Murcia-born striker Alfredo Ortuño is being eyed up as an option to replace Elche’s star striker, Sergio León, if he does eventually get transferred to Pamplona side, Osasuna. Elche coach Alberto Toril says that he has resigned himself to the fact that León will leave the club sooner than later, and he showed his scoring touch by hitting the net twice in a couple of recent friendlies. "León wants to play in the Primera Division after what he achieved last season and that’s totally understandable, but whilst he’s an Elche player, he will be involved”, added Toril. Elche is still, at the time of writing, holding out for a total package worth two million euros for a León transfer to Osasuna. Elche’s sporting director Chuti Molina, has being eyeing up Las Palmas striker, Alfredo Ortuño, as the club have said they want to sell him, having been out on loan to Zaragoza, and more recently to Mallorca, who are said to be in the running to sign him permanently along with Cadiz showing some interest. Ortuño’s availability has happened this week after coach Quique Setien put the forward on the list of players that he did not want to keep ahead of the start of the new league campaign.

Sevilla’s Big Deal

Alvaro Stays Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane has confirmed he has no intention of letting Alvaro Morata leave the club this summer. The Spain international striker returned to the Bernabeu from Juventus last month after the European champions activated the buyback clause in his contract. "We are delighted to have him back, back to his original home. He will remain a Madrid player," said Zidane.

SEB COE:

Olympic Records Elche’s Bosnian winger Eldin Hadzic will miss the Ilicitanos opener against Rayo Vallecano due to his continuing recovery from a broken femur, which has only seen him do some light pre-season training. The 25-year-old who joined Elche at the end of January is already rated as doubtful for the second match at Girona, and joins other long-term injured players Armando and Pol on the sidelines.

Olympic Carnival Over 6,000 volunteers have been rehearsing for nearly three months and will be on hand to deliver the vibrant show as Rio welcomes the world for the Games. Brazilian soccer legend Pele has been invited to light the Olympic cauldron at the opening ceremony but will have to check with his sponsors first as to whether he can accept the honour. While London 2012 opted for a 'secret seven' of young athletes selected by Sir Steve Redgrave among others, Pele is the Brazilian icon organisers want to signal the start of the Games. The 75-year-old said he will have to consult the US company that holds the rights to his brand name whether he can take up the invitation from the Olympic organising committee. He added: "As a Brazilian, I'd love to do it but I have a contract that I am bound to fulfil."

Ronaldo’s Rehab Sevilla have signed Wissam Ben Yedder from Toulouse on a five-year contract. The 25-year-old scored 17 goals in 35 Ligue 1 appearances last season, helping Toulouse avoid relegation by one point, but that did little to prevent him being linked with a move away from the club all summer. Sevilla said the striker had signed a contract at the club until 2021 for an undisclosed fee after passing his medical on Monday. The former France U21 international joined Toulouse from UJA Alfortville in 2010 and featured 156 times for the side in Ligue 1, scoring 63 goals.

Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane has confirmed that Cristiano Ronaldo won't play in this Tuesday’s UEFA Super Cup against Sevilla and could miss the league opener against Real Sociedad 12 days later. Ronaldo injured his knee early in Portugal's Euro 2016 final victory against France nearly a month ago, and after being given some time off, has been busy rehabbing the injury. "Basically it looks like Ronaldo's injury requires a month of rehab, and we also have to make sure he's prepared," Zidane said. "We can't just put him in after not playing for a month. From the Super Cup to the start of the season there's 12 days, so we're not sure, but he'll be with us. But I don't think he'll play at least for the first league match." The news was better about forward Karim Benzema, who has been dealing with a hip injury, with Zidane hopeful that he'll play in the Super Cup.

1. The longest long jump. This will be one to beat in Rio. Why? Because no one has managed to do so since the 1968 Olympics in Mexico City, when Bob Beamon made an 8.9-metre jump. While the world record has been broken, (in 1991, by Mike Powell), it's never managed to be broken at the Olympic games. 2. The perfect 10 in gymnastics. Spectators haven't seen gymnasts scored on a 10-point scale since 2006, when the judging was changed to include points for execution as well as for difficulty. But scoring that perfect 10 used to be the ultimate prize in gymnastics – perhaps even more so than the gold medal. Romanian gymnast Nadia Comaneci was the first to achieve it, in the 1976 Olympics in Montreal, on the balance beam and uneven bars. 3. The most-decorated Olympian. Phelps is currently the most-decorated Olympian of all time, with 22 medals total (18 gold, two silver and two bronze). Regardless of how many medals he collects in Rio, Phelps will keep his title: The only people who are even moderately close to his record stopped competing years ago. 4. Any of Phelps' swimming records. Phelps doesn't just have a lot of medals, he also has a lot of Olympic records, too. He currently holds five, in the 400metre individual medley, 200-metre individual medley, 100metre butterfly, 4x100-metre freestyle relay and 4x200-metre freestyle relay. If someone breaks any of these, it'll be a big deal – even if it's Phelps himself who does it. 5. The times of the fastest man in the world. Jamaican runner Usain Bolt has earned this unofficial title after spectacular showings in Beijing and London, and he's sure to have another in Rio. Currently, he holds three Olympic records: 100-metre, 200-metre and the 4x400metre relay. 6. And those of the speediest walkers. Olympic records were set in both the 20-km. and 50-km. walks in London, by Chen Ding of China in the former and Sergey Kirdyapkin of Russia in the latter. During their races, the two walked the equivalent of a three-min., 54-sec. km. for Ding and a four-min., 24-sec. km. for Kirdyapkin. That's right, they walked it. 7. The women's 100- and 200-metre races. American runner Florence Griffith-Joyner has held the Olympic records in the 100-metre and 200-metre (and the world record in the latter) since the 1988 games in Seoul. In two of the top races for sprinters, surely every woman in the race will be hoping end this nearly 30-year streak and set a record of her own. It'll be tough, though: Griffith-Joyner was considered to be the fastest woman of all time.

Moyes Insists Man Utd David Moyes insists he was unfairly treated at Manchester United as he begins his new role at Sunderland. The Scot was sacked less than a season into a six-year contract after succeeding Sir Alex Ferguson at Old Trafford, with United finishing that 2013-14 campaign outside the European places in seventh. He then struggled at Spanish side Real Sociedad as well - but saw United make only limited improvements under his successor Louis van Gaal, finishing fourth and then fifth before the Dutchman gave way to Jose Mourinho this summer.

Captaincy The Modern Theory Explained

Leroy Sane: Joins Man City In £37m Deal

Germany midfielder Leroy Sane has completed his move to Manchester City from Schalke for a fee of £37m plus add-ons. The 20-year-old has signed a five-year contract with the Blues. He scored eight goals in 33 Bundesliga appearances last season as Schalke finished fifth, missing out on Champions League qualification for the second year in a row.

Treated Him Unfairly Moyes maintains he was the right man for the job after Ferguson's departure, having led Everton from the lower reaches of the Premier League into European contention. "You don't get offered those big jobs - Real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester United - for no reason," he told several national newspapers. "I've said all along I was unfairly treated there. When you sign a six-year contract and you end up with 10 months ... yeah, I believe I was. "I didn't win enough football matches but there were mitigating circumstances”.

The vastly overhyped English profile of leading your side out Bobby Moore-style, tossing a coin and ‘encouraging’ the lads with a few wellchosen words for 90 minutes is now being steadily seen for what is – just like England’s 1966 win, it’s 50 years out-ofdate, writes JOHN MCGREGOR. And yet we still ask stupid questions on the subject, like Sam Allardyce’s quizzing by our finest (!) national journalists of

who will be his England captain? Hey, Wayne Rooney didn’t do us much good in France, did he, he wasn’t even playing in some matches. The recent great World and Euro champions Spain had goalkeeper Iker Casillas as their captain, and you can’t do too much bellowing from the penalty area, can you? Reigning Champions Leicester were captained by (ex-Forest) Wes Morgan, but the Foxes deservedly won the Prem in a fantastic team effort, everyone on the field a captain in supporting each other. As the Premier league is slowly being run ‘sur le Continent’ style with Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Dutch, Croatian and even Argentinean club management let’s hear

from the most revered coach in the business today, Pep Guardiola on the captaincy subject. The former Barcelona and Bayern Munich manager spoke refreshingly and sensibly about letting the players decide who would deputise for injured skipper Vincent Kompany. The Belgian defender missed Euro 2016 with a groin and thigh problem which required surgery. ‘He is the captain. If he

is not there the players have to choose the captain,’ stated Guardiola in a seemingly novel but purely ‘dressing-room’ approach: ‘We have a lot of experience - Joe Hart, Yaya Toure, Pablo Zabaleta, who have been here a long time. They have to decide who is the captain for them. I am not in the locker room. I am not in the meetings when they have to decide they need to change something. They have to choose themselves. They have to decide who is the best guy to represent them on the pitch.’ Ahh… why did nobody else (English) think of that? Interesting that Pep refers to ‘the meeti n g s when…. t h e y

need to change something’. Now that’s a modern view perhaps on today’s player power, where sometimes perhaps things are not all flowing from the ‘coach’. Actually Guardiola seems to regard himself as the club coach, rather than the idolatrous ‘manager’ position, another British anachronism perhaps - a role perhaps again over-hyped this side of the English channel. Does he see his role as the chief coach, but not necessarily the club manager in our traditional viewpoint of the job? Welcome, Pep - what a season this is going to be!

The Latest Sport Headlines BOXING UK Anti-Doping (UKAD) has lifted a provisional suspension on Tyson Fury after confirmation he had been charged with a doping offence. World heavyweight champion Fury was charged over a urine sample taken in February 2015, nine months before he beat unified champion Wladimir Klitschko to claim the Ukraine great's titles. FOOTBALL Manchester United and Everton played out a drab goalless draw at Old Trafford in Wayne Rooney's testimonial match. Manchester City have completed the signing of Brazilian forward Gabriel Jesus from Palmeiras in a deal worth £27m. The 19-year-old striker has scored 19 goals in 30 appearances this season and will represent his country at the Olympics in Rio then return to Sao Paulo-based Palmeiras for the rest of the year. TENNIS Rafael Nadal has confirmed that he will represent Spain at the Olympic Games in Rio, despite injury concerns. The 14-time Grand Slam winner has committed himself to playing singles, doubles and mixed doubles at the Games, despite worries over whether or not his left wrist injury will survive the gruelling challenges ahead. CYCLING Lizzie Armitstead says she will hold her "head high in Rio" and "hates dopers" following criticism for missing three drug tests. The British world road cycling champion was suspended pending disciplinary action for missing the tests, putting her Olympic place in jeopardy. But at a Court of Arbitration for Sport (Cas) appeal, she successfully argued the first test should be declared void.

'WE ALL WANT CLEAN SPORTS' Swimmer Michael Phelps says he does not believe he has ever participated in a "clean sport" after being chosen to carry the USA flag at the Rio Games. Phelps, 31, is the most decorated Olympian of all time with 22 medals and the first American male swimmer to qualify for a

fifth Games. "We all want clean sports and everyone on the same playing field," he said. "I don't think I've ever competed in a clean sport - but there's not much other than me I can control." Phelps, who was chosen by a vote of fellow team members for Friday's

opening ceremony, has won 18 Olympic gold medals. "Something needs to change with all sports, not just swimming," he added. Phelps retired after winning four gold medals at London 2012, before returning to the pool in 2014. "I'm honoured to be chosen”.
