The world´s first airborne radar speed detector is now high in the sky over Spain, nicknamed with the codeword “Pegasus”. The Dirección General de Tráfico, the DGT, has equipped one of their 19 helicopters with the state of the art equipment that is capable of catching speeding motorists who may well be oblivious to the very presence of the spy in the sky. The DGT has been testing the equipment for the past six years, in conjunction with the company Wescam, who developed the technology, and now have the official legal seal of approval to police the roads from the air. The distinctive yellow and blue helicopters of the DGT are not new in themselves, but the addition of a camera equipped arm is new, where two high quality recording devices are installed, with a super powerful zoom, that can target and photograph, from a distance of between 300 meters and a kilometre away, with pinpoint accuracy, vehicles travelling at any speed up to 360 kilometres per hour, about the speed of a Formula 1 car. However, it´s not just speed that Pegasus will be on the lookout for, lane infractions, wrong-way driving, mobile phone use and just about any other traffic violation can all be picked up on their super cameras. The launch of Pegasus coincides with that of the special operation for the busiest time of year for Spanish roads, the Easter holiday period. Running from 15:00 on 22nd or March, until midnight on the 1st of April, the DGT anticipate a total of 13 mil-

Monday, 25th March, 2013 lion traffic movements. In the period up to Wednesday of this week, there is an anticipated 7.5 million trips to be made. To ensure the smooth and safe flow of traffic, there are some 10,000 Guardia Civil traffic cops on duty for the season, backed up by another 13,000 members of support teams. As well as the marked patrol cars and bikes, the fleet of unmarked camera cars will also be patrolling, with the majority of traffic set to head towards coastal areas at the start of the season, returning back in land at the end. Although it may be easy to criticise the move as nothing more than a “money making scheme”, the developments in traffic policing are all based on the needs for safer roads. In fact, the primary role of Pegasus will be patrolling secondary roads, rather than motorways, where traditional radar monitors may have difficulties due to the central reservation in many places, but secondary roads are the scene of around 75% of all fatalities. According to the 2013 World Health Organisation Road Safety Report, Spain has a better record than France, Austria, Australia, Belgium, Canada and the United States in terms of road accident fatalities per 100,000 inhabitants, where it now stands 12th on the global list . It now also forms part of a select group of countries with comprehensive regulations on the five most important risk factors in terms of road accident rates. Spain is one of the 28 countries with suitable legislation for reducing road accident rates based on the five fundamental risk factors in road accidents: excess speed; driving under the influence of alcohol; not wearing a helmet on motorcycles; seatbelt use; and child safety restraints. These factors have helped lower the number of fatalities and injuries caused by road accidents over the last nine years. The Global Status Report on Road Safety 2013, drafted by

the World Health Organisation, presented recently by the Director-General for Public Health, Social Services and Equality, Mercedes Vinuesa and the Director-General for Traffic, María Seguí, reports that governments are adopting successful measures to reduce road accident mortality rates but that they are still insufficient, as shown by the fact that 1.24 million people are killed in road traffic accidents every year around the world. According to the WHO, this figure means that road traffic accidents will become the fifth-largest cause of death in 2030 if no urgent steps are taken. Spain has improved since the previous report published by the WHO in 2009, which related to data from 2006. Spain is one of 88 countries around the world that has reduced the number of road accident fatalities - from 4,104 in 2006 to 2,478 in 2010. This trend has also been maintained in subsequent years. Spain is one of 35 countries that enacted new road safety laws in the period 2006-2010. Observance and compliance with these laws has improved since the previous report with regard to such issues as the use of helmets and safety belts, the use of which has risen by 1 point and scores Spain an 8 from a maximum of 10. The use of child safety restraints continues to increase (up 2 points). Whereas the use of these devices in Spain scored 6 in the first report, the report presented last week now scores Spain a mark of 8. On the issue of speed and alcohol, Spain continues to score highly in terms of legislation and compliance with the law. Spain is one of the 59 countries

that have reduced speed limits in urban centres to 50 km/h or less. The WHO recognises that reducing the maximum speed limit to 30 km/h in areas of considerable pedestrian and cyclist concentration is an effective way to reduce injury rates among road users. So, whichever way you look at it, safety is the underlying reason for the legislation and control. After all, there is probably

no driver on the roads who doesn´t push the boundaries of the law a little, assuming we will never get caught, which is all very well until we do, or, in the worse case, a fatal incident occurs. But keep a sharp eye out, as you drive through Spain, because you may now never know when you might get caught out, unless you drive to the letter of the law, in which case, long may you continue.

THREE FAMILY MEMBERS KILLED IN FA THERS D A Y AIR CR ASH

A 14 year old child, together with her father and her uncle, died when their plane crashed on Tuesday lunchtime after taking off from the Muxtamel airfield. The crash took place in an adjacent olive field and all three were killed instantly. The causes are still unknown although early indications point to either a mechanical failure or fuel problem, which would have forced the aircraft, piloted by the uncle, to attempt an unsuccessful emergency landing. The incident has caused deep dismay in Ibi, since the father and daughter lived in the town, while his uncle resided nearby in Alicante. The accident occurred at 12.37 hours in a small hamlet, Paraeta Espí, about 500 meters from the town of Ibi and near the road that

provides access to Xorret de Cati. Also nearby is the village school, which was closed on Tuesday because of the public holiday. The plane, which had taken off from the airfield at Mutxamel, crashed into an olive grove adjacent to an unoccupied building currently under construction. The plane hit a large rock with the impact breaking the cabin in two. It is understood that the violent impact of the crash completely destroyed the aircraft which was blown up into numerous pieces, the wreckage being scattered over a radius of a hundred yards. The alarm was raised by local residents who immediately called 112. The Guardia Civil, Local Police, fire and ambulance, were on the scene within minutes but they could do nothing for the three occupants of the plane who were all declared to be dead at the scene. Also in attendance were members of the judicial police, who carried out an inspection of the area. The removal of the bodies occurred shortly before four in the afternoon, when they were transported to the Forensic Anatomical Institute of Alicante, where the three autopsies are expected to be carried out. Several eyewitnesses, said that

the plane was circling the area for some minutes without a fixed course. "I was surprised that it flew so low,” said one bystander, “and I had the feeling he was looking for a place to land.” “When the aircraft eventually hit the ground the impact was brutal." The three casualties have been identified as Jose Antonio Perez, 49, his daughter Belen, 14, and the girl's uncle, Ricardo, 46, who was also a flight instructor and who was piloting the aircraft. The father was a native of Onil, but resided in Castlebar for many years with his wife and daughter. Meanwhile, according to information provided, the uncle lived in Alicante. According to a neighbor the plane ride was a father’s day gift which was to be used to take aerial photographs of their homes and the surrounding villages. This is the second death from Muxtamel airfield in less than one year after an Alicante pilot

The second bus will take the passengers to La Glorieta square.

HOTEL BEATRIZ PALACE & SPA, FUENGIROLA FRIDAY 8TH TO SUNDAY 10TH MARCH 2013

SATURDAY 30TH OF MARCH From Playa Flamenca at 4pm, to Santo Domingo in Orihuela Return at 9pm from La Glorieta square, to see The “Caballero Cubierto” coming from Santo Domingo and being escorted to the Town Hall with the Government of Orihuela, the Roman Centurions, music bands etc. The procession starts at the Town Hall at around 7pm

Such is the popularity of the Weekend that it takes months of planning and has to be booked two years in advance by the host group. On a rotational basis, groups share the responsibility for the once-ayear gathering of the clans from all over the Iberian Peninsula. There are about 10 groups spread over Spain and Portugal from which 124 dancers attended this year's gathering - 15 from Torrevieja. Full highland dress was needed for this occasion so a large suitcase was soon filled. On the Thursday we took 6 hours to drive, with two quite long stops, to Fuengirola. We arrived at our hotel only just in time for afternoon tea. Checking in at the 4 star Hotel was efficiently dealt with amid the greeting of many dancers from distant groups. Once settled in our rooms we unpacked then took a short walk around the hotel to familiarise ourselves with the area, often bumping into other groups of IPG attendees. Dinner was spent renewing acquaintances, and continued later with a nightcap in the bar. Friday morning some of us headed off to explore the town. Official registration for the dance groups took place in the afternoon, then there was a walk-through session of the evening's dances for those who needed it, (that turned out to be most of us). The evening began with an excellent dinner. Dancing commenced at 21.00 - kilts and gowns, swirling to the tunes of the Graigellachie Band. The dancing went on until after midnight. On Saturday morning, for the keen dancers, our teacher for the weekend, Mervyn Short, held a technique class. After the class there was a meeting for interested members, when volunteers were sought to host the IPG two years hence.The afternoon was spent relaxing and catching up with more gossip. Those who required a walkthrough of the evening's dances had to be in the ballroom for 16.00. As on the previous night, the evening started with dinner. At 20.45 a 'Grand March' preceded the Ball which began at 21.00. A total of 17 dances were reeled, jigged - or strathspeyed (a tempo unique to Scottish Country Dancing). The evening was rounded off with Auld Lang Syne and a short polka. A few hardy couples wound down in the bar until the wee hours. On Sunday morning a Group Teachers' Meeting was held, followed by another class. Mervyn Short took us through some technique and formation lessons. He then taught dances, which included those moves. For some it was time to go home for work the next day, but with a promise to meet again next year. For us the afternoon provided free time to explore further the delights of Fuengirola. A Ceilidh was held on Sunday evening and this proved to be great fun and a fitting end to a wonderful weekend. Scottish Country Dancing is held at 3 p.m. on Monday afternoons at El Paraiso Restaurant in Jardin del Mar, Torrevieja. Why not join us, you don't need a kilt for the classes.

WHAT AN EX CELLENT SHOW

Campoverde Theatre Group has just completed their performance of Di de Di at the Casa de Cultura, San Miguel. Performing to capacity audiences this energetic and experienced theatre group delighted audiences with their interpretation of the old television sitcom Hi de Hi. As well as featuring all the well know characters, the show also showcased Bert Swanley in the person of Huw Jones and the Craplin Debonnaires. The show started with a medley of The Holiday Rock / Happy Days featuring the entire company, and this set the pace of this fun and music filled show. The show followed the misfortunes of Ted (Tony Kelly) being pursued by his ex wife, Jeffrey thinking that he had acted inappropriately with the predatory Gladys whilst drunk, the Bluecoat competition and Peggy (Sue Mathews) thinking that she has finally gained her promotion. Also featured were the capers of the pensioner campers who loved the activities on offer and also found love whilst on holiday.

Excellent performances were given by all leading characters and are too numerous to mention individually, but of special note are Colin Nelson as Jeffrey and Judith Jones as Gladys Pugh. The bitchiness between Yvonne and Barry StuartHartgreaves came to a climax when Yvonne (Vida Nelson) mistakenly entered the most popular Bluecoat of the Year Competition and was serenaded by Barry (Tom Weston) by a parody rendition of It’s Only Make Believe that had the audience laughing at the apt and nasty lyrics. The South American and Spanish cabaret shows featuring the Craplin Debonnaires wowed the audience with the colourful costumes, excellent singing and dancing. Audiences certainly tapped their feet and sang along to the well chosen songs from the 1950’s. The show ended with the full company lifting the rafters with High Hope, Get Happy and The Holiday Rock. Altogether an excellent show.

‘Twitters from the Atlantic’ Barrie Mahoney was a teacher, head teacher and school inspector in the UK, as well as a reporter in Spain, before moving to the Canary Islands as a newspaper editor. He is still enjoying life in the sun as a writer and author.

L ADY BALFOUR T O THE RESCUE I like pasta and rice, but for me nothing quite beats the humble potato. I don't mind whether potatoes are boiled, mashed, fried, baked or sautéed, although, in my opinion, nothing quite beats the good old British chip (not those ghastly French Fries!) or a jacket potato filled with baked beans and cheese. Maybe my love of the humble potato, a much under-rated vegetable in Spain, comes from my Irish ancestry, and that country’s strong dependency upon a successful potato crop in years gone by. Indeed, it was the potato famine that led my great grandfather from Ireland to England, but that is a different story. Living in Gran Canaria, I quickly discovered the delights of a simple delicacy, ‘papas con mojo’, which is readily available in most tapas bars and restaurants on the island. This is a dish of small, new Canarian potatoes, boiled in sea salt, and served with a delicious, spicy, ‘mojo’ sauce, and preferably freshly prepared and not bottled. If you haven't tried this dish already, then you really should when you next visit. For the past few years, I have been shocked to find that whenever I try to buy a sack of large potatoes for baking from my local supermarket, they are not from the Canary Islands, or even Spain. Instead they are imported from the UK, from Lincolnshire, just a short distance

from where I grew up. These tasteless, soggy objects marketed as potatoes are actually very cheap to buy, and I suspect that there is very little profit in them for anyone in the supply chain. Now, I am not about to deny the good farmers of Lincolnshire a decent income from their potato exports, but I would much prefer that more flavoursome varieties were grown in the Canary Islands, or Spain. This situation is about to change with the local Spar supermarket food chain giving 14,000 kilos of organic seed potato to fifteen island farmers. The company aims to market 150,000 and 200,000 kilos of potatoes in Spar stores within four months, in an attempt to raise local production, thereby avoiding the necessity to import potatoes from abroad. Currently, island grown potatoes meets only 5 per cent of local demand, with 90 per cent being imported from overseas. It is the Lady Balfour variety of Scottish seed potato that has been imported from Scotland, and Spar has undertaken to cover the costs of production, without affecting the market price for farmers. In addition, the scheme will test how the seed potato develops in different municipalities on the island, depending on the weather and terrain, together with an evaluation of the profitability of each plot used. As a bonus, it is anticipated that the Spar scheme will help to maintain fifty jobs and create a further 60 new opportunities for unemployed people. It is also hoped that similar schemes will be established to encourage onion and garlic production as well. It is imagina-

tive schemes such as this, as well as a change in the attitude of some companies to one of ‘giving something back to the community’ that will help to ease the unemployment crisis on the islands, and giving renewed hope to local growers, as well as the unemployed. By the way, I guess you are wondering who was Lady Balfour? Well, she was an English farmer, and an organic farming pioneer and the first women to study farming in a British university. She wrote ‘The Living Soil’, which was a popular book written to encourage farmers to follow organic production methods, and may be regarded as one of the world’s true organic farming pioneers. I bet Lady Balfour recognised a decent chip when she saw one!

AROUND TORREVIEJA President of the Barcelona Meeting Point (BMP), Enrique Lacalle, has denounced the recent Russian property exhibition in Torrevieja as a “scam”, and has issued several letters to the city council to take action “against those who in one way or another, by action or omission, have hurt us.” In particular, the company is distancing itself from the Torrevieja event, for which they had no involvement, despite being listed on various documents and websites promoting the event. The city council however are claiming that the conflict is between the private companies, and is not their responsibility to act. The changes to the Local Police shifts in Torrevieja resulted in 19 officers sitting in the police station this week, awaiting instructions, according to unions representing the officers. Meanwhile, the town hall representatives are stating that the new shift patterns are necessary to ensure a better coverage from the officers, who would now be working for 5 days on, with the next 2 days off. The unions also say that there were no vehicles, motorcycles or gloves available for officers, and that they had insufficient radios, which meant that officers had to remain on site.

ities that feed the hungry in the area. The seventeenth edition of the Torrevieja Book Fair opened this weekend, with thousands of books being offered for sale from the purpose built huts, which will be open until Sunday the 7th of April, near the so called “night market” and fairground, alongside the harbour walkway. Torrevieja has been playing host to a number of protests this week, including those against cuts in education, the police who are protesting about the extension to their working hours, as well as members of the group against evictions who took to protesting at a branch of the BBVA bank in the city.

The Torrevieja Los Verdes green party has called for a halt to a construction site in La Mata, as the project does not yet have the necessary licenses to begin. In particular, soil and land samples which have been sent away for analysis have yet to be reported upon, which could result in the land being unsuitable, and the subsequent buildings to be deemed illegal, should the work proceed. Officers from the environmental branch of the Guardia Civil, SEPRONA, prevented an auction of 700 boxes of anchovies this week, some 8,400 kilos, as they failed to meet the minimum legal size for the fish, being less than 9 centimetres in length. The fish had all been caught by a boat based in the Puerto de Mazarrón. Despite the recent reports of more boats coming to the area to fish for anchovies, for several nights many boats returned empty, as the fish caught were all smaller than the legal requirement and were returned to the sea. Meanwhile, the confiscated fish was not going to waste and was intended to be donated by the Guardia Civil to a number of char-

Public buildings, including schools, were left without cleaners in Torrevieja this week, after the resignation of two companies who had been competing for the work. As a result, a new tender process had to be started, with a temporary move implemented to cover the service for up to 6 months, pending the full contract award. The annual pre-season beach preparation began in Torrevieja this week, with a change to the beach servicing times to now cover from 2 am until 9 am, rather than the 5 am to noon schedule through the winter, preparing the sand, emptying bins and making the coastline more presentable before the thousands of tourists and visitors descend onto the beach to top up their tan, perhaps oblivious to the army that works right through the year to keep the beaches to the highest standard possible. In fact, Torrevieja boasts that they are the only municipality in the region that has beach cover throughout the year, as part of the contract awarded to the management company responsible for the cleaning.

AROUND ORIHU ELA AND THE COSTA

More parking concerns for shopkeepers and other businesses in La Zenia. After the Orihuela City Council introduced no parking along the Avda Villamartin following the opening of the Zenia Boulevard last September the owners of Consum have now decided to close their car park to non Consum shoppers. They have announced that they will be introducing a scheme similar to the unpopular measures tried by Carrefour in Torrevieja a couple of years ago whereby you will need to produce a Consum receipt to obtain free parking. Alejandro’s Restaurant in La Zenia are currently organising a petition objecting to the measures which they intend to hand in to the Costa Town Hall in the next few days. It is understood that the new parking measures will be introduced within the next 2 or 3 weeks.

been identified that can be used by residents and visitors to meet, select books and read, although satisfying the practical needs of a library, this now comes without the additional expense. Councillor for the coast, Martina Scheurer, explained that a building which was constructed by the regional government as a nursery school is currently vacant, as the regional government withdrew funding, but this building can now be utilized for other things, and so this building will be operated by more volunteers and become a “reading point”, as has already been the case in hosting language classes.

The Ociopía shopping centre in Orihuela joined in the plight of the global awareness of environmental matters this year, by partaking in the 2013 Earth Hour, in which the centre would switch off its lights for the hour of 8pm, a standard, local time across the globe, as a darkened beacon in the flood of electricity that draws on the planets resources every day. The councillor for infrastructure, Antonia Moreno, has announced that Orihuela will be conducting an energy audit, with the hope of saving half a million euro in street lighting costs. The first stage will be collating information on street lights and other electrical outlet points, before assessing where savings can be made on the 4.5 million euro bill, over a period of ten years.

The Consum decision to close their La Zenia car park to non shoppers is being challenged by local businesses

Cllr Antonia Moreno

In the next plenary meeting, the municipal council of Orihuela hope to pass a motion which would remove the age restriction on the Civic Hall which is based on the Orihuela Costa. Currently, legislation dictates that the facilities can only be used by people of pensionable age, which restricts the use of the building for the majority of residents who fund it. By removing the restriction, it would allow for youth and adult groups to hold conferences and courses and make the building more suitable to suit the needs of all Orihuela Costa residents. The next step in creating a reading centre on the Orihuela Costa has been made, with the thousands of donated books being catalogued and sorted, all done by volunteers, and now a premises has Former councillor for the coast and tourism, Pedro Mancebo, is urging the bi-party coalition government to complete a project started during his tenure, that of the production of a guide book detailing the values of the mountainous paths that surround the municipality, as this would encourage tourism to one of the most unique and beautiful areas of this part of Spain. The content of the guide has already been

collated, with hikers and mountaineers all collaborating in cataloguing the routes, the only hurdle being a budget with which to print the guide. Despite not being awarded the contract for beach safety on the Orihuela Costa this Easter, the Cruz Roja of Orihuela is running a course in becoming a life guard, which combines both theory and practice into a 100 hour training program, resulting in a qualification that could allow those who pass to work in the sector for both their own, none profit making organisation, or for one of the private, profit making companies that bid for the work of keeping the beaches safe. Open to anybody over the age of 18, with a First Aid qualification, applications can be made via the Cruz Roja in Orihuela.

I WANT A DA D, BUT NOT IF

SISTERS AT WAR My sister and I have been arguing on and off for three years now because I didn’t approve of her boyfriend. She’s 17, and he is 40 and I just don’t think it’s right. They broke up six months ago and just the other day he was killed in a car accident. She’s devastated as she still loved him. I feel two faced telling her I’m sorry as I was always telling her how much I hated her. How should I deal with this messy situation? Fiona When it comes to relationships, everybody has their own preference in terms of age gaps. You’re perfectly entitled to have your view but you must also accept that your sister is entitled to hers.

‘I THINK I’M GAY, MY PARENTS WILL DISOWN ME’ I grew up in a very happy home but my parents have very religious, old-fashioned values. At a party recently I ended up kissing a girl and haven’t stopped thinking about it since. I`m 19 now and I think I might be gay but am so worried that my parents would disown me for it. Should I keep quiet and try to change my feelings, or risk losing my family? I feel trapped in a no-win situation. Deena

HE’S DRINKING Largely, this issue is now academic and the scenario now is completely different. I don’t see why you should have a problem supporting your sister through her grief? She’s lost someone she loved and regardless of the circumstances, there’s a lot you can do to help her through this. The simple answer to your question is “get over it”. You need to see past your own feelings and do whatever you can to comfort this poor girl. Potentially, this whole thing could bring you both closer together but that cant happen until you put the past behind you can it? We all owe it to ourselves to live our lives as we want to sweetheart. Personally, I hate labels and prefer to think as everybody as an individual. If you feel the need to explore your sexuality, go ahead and do it, discover who you are. The reality is that your parents should just accept you for who you are but if you’re uncomfortable opening up to them at the moment, why not wait a while? You’re a consenting adult and provided you don’t break the law or force anybody to do anything, what harm are you doing? If it helps at all, MOST of the people I’ve spoken to who have eventually summoned up the courage to speak to their parents about something like this have been pleasantly surprised with the reaction they got.

Calders Confessions

I broke up with the father of my kids a year ago because of his problem with alcohol. He disappeared from our lives for all this time until recently my daughter told me that he’s been coming to her and my son’s school in his car to offer them a lift home. I know he means no harm but I’m worried he’s going to have been drinking before he drives them home. I want him to be a father to them, but I can’t trust him as an addict. Melanie Have you tried talking to the guy? He clearly loves his children and wants to be a part of their lives. Maybe he’s overcome his drinking problem? Either way, opening up the lines of communication is the only way to go. See if you can arrange to have a coffee somewhere together or even just a chat on the phone. Explain that you’re perfectly happy to allow him to carry on seeing the children provided he’s free from booze. Don’t forget that the kids are caught slap bang in the middle of this and ultimately, the best solution all round, for them, is to have contact with both parents. It’s a judgement you’ll have to make yourself but you’re not going to be able to do that with any degree of confidence unless you talk to the ex are you?

The National Statistics office has released the fourth quarter of 2012 data this week, which reveals that flight tickets increased by 1.2%, compared to the previous year, almost 1.5% lower than the increase of quarter three. Telecom costs also dropped some 5.2% on the previous quarter, but the cost of advertising and market research went up by 27.2% on average for the quarter, representing an annual increase of 7.1%. A failed meeting between arbitrators and unions representing truck drivers this week may lead to the sector calling for industrial action and strikes, bringing the road delivery system to a halt, after complaints were made that companies have broken collective agreements on working hours and conditions. However, strike action will not be considered until after an early April meeting, when it is

hoped an agreement may be reached to the agreement of the 300,000 workers involved in road freight transport. The Minister of Industry, Energy and Tourism, José Manuel Soria, has confirmed that due to a reduction in the wholesale price of electricity, domestic bills will drop by around 6.5% from April, as the government fulfils its commitment to maintain regulated costs, saying, “as a result of the auction there has been a decrease of about 14%, the impact on the electricity bill will therefore be a drop for the next quarter of about 6.5%”. The minister praised the news as “favourable”, and “positive” for all the family and especially for those under the last resort tariff, which most users in Spain. The prices of petrol and diesel have continued to decline and were up to 0.7% cheaper in the build up to Easter. This is the third consecutive week that the price has declined, with the price per litre of petrol standing at 1.443 euro,

0.7% less than in the previous week and, after three consecutive weeks of declines, 4.3% below the start of the month. In fact, the price of petrol and diesel has not been this low since the middle of January, some two whole months ago, according to the figures from the state bulletin. The Spanish population around the world increased by 6.3% last year to exceed 1.9 million people, according to Census statistics released this week, revealing that the number of Spanish nationals living abroad amounted to 1,931,248 in January, representing an increase of 114,413 people on the previous year. Of that figure, 62.9% live in America, 34% in Europe and 3% everywhere else. Argentina has seen the biggest growth, with 17,449 Spaniards living there, followed by Brazil, Cuba and France, all ahead of the increase in America.

HEALTH NEWS

The Ministry of Health, Social Services and Equality, say that three in four women aged 50 to 69 years, a total of 77.1%, had a mammogram in the last two years. An additional 9.5% had the check between two and three years ago, whereas only 7.6% percent of women in this age group said they have never had a mammogram. However, there is a worrying contrast in the checks for colorectal cancer, with 89% of the population, both men and women, saying that they had never had the test done. In fact, only 6.8% of people had been tested within the last 2 years. The ministry has stated that the data shows a clear need for more awareness of all cancers.

An 18 month old baby girl has died in Asturias, five days after first being treated as an emergency case when she was admitted to hospital displaying symptoms of choking, which the family believed were as a result of consuming popcorn. The child was admitted to the Hospital Carmen y Severo Ochoa in Cangas del Narcea, showing signs of asphyxiation, vomiting and fever, having apparently consumed the food item. Checks, tests and X-rays couldn´t determine the cause of the condition, so the decision was made to transfer the child to another hospital, where it was decided to wait for a natural “passing” of the object, and the girl was sent home. During a period of 5 days, her condition worsened, so the parents returned her to a doctor where she died of suffocation. An investigation has been launched to asses if this is a case of medical malpractice, which also delayed the funeral of the child, pending the result. According to data released this week, more than 5,000 cases of respiratory tuberculosis were registered in Spain in 2011, mostly in Catalonia with 929 cases, although medical experts fear that the actual number could be nearer 12,000, considering those undiagnosed. The figures were released to coincide with World TB day and show that Spain is in ninth place in Europe, with 15.4 cases per 100,000 people. Romania holds the number 1 spot with 98.8 cases per 100,000, with Spain´s neighbour Portugal coming in sixth with 25.1. However, the report also shows that the 2011 figures are lower than 2010, where there were 7,089 cases recorded in Spain. The risk of infection is higher in people with damaged immune systems, and in patients with HIV, malnutrition, diabetes or smoking, with 20% of all cases of TB attributable to tobacco.

A German company has come to Spain in an attempt to recruit up to 70 doctors for work in emergency rooms in a small town in Northern Germany. Despite the offer of a 70,000 euro salary, there has been little take up on the offer, with most doctors stating that the language barrier is too big a problem to resolve, although training courses are available for around 6,000 euro of investment. In 2012, unemployment in the health sector was around 40%, with some 2,400 doctors leaving Spain to work in other countries.

Body Acid Alkaline Balance – The Way to Better Health Fatigue, poor immunity, inflammation, allergies are all signs that we are experiencing an imbalance in our body biochemistry tending towards excess tissue acidity. If we are going to address the problem and restore our health and vitality then we need to address this imbalance. An imbalanced body will never heal properly. It is a simple concept which when we understand it and begin to implement it can have a dramatic effect on our wellbeing. If you have pain or are, suffering with a ‘disease’ or wanting to maintain high levels of health, then you should seriously consider looking at what effect bringing your body biochemistry back into proper body alkaline balance can do for you. When the blood and tissues are at the proper pH levels then the blood is able to transfer more oxygen, which is vitally important for good health and high energy living. According to Dr Robert Young, microbiologist and author of the pH miracle range of books ‘Fatigue is probably the major symptom of an overly acidic body’. You might wonder why this subject does not get more coverage in the media. Please remember that there is little money in health, the real money is in managing disease. We have been conditioned to believe that health is complex. The body is indeed complex but maintaining good health is not complex. Almost everyone that I have treated that was on pain medication, few had any belief that the medication was going to have any benefit at all. Many instinctively understood that they were throwing a cloak over the pain and that they were actually only hiding the pain, the problem with that is when the problem is hidden you never get the opportunity to address it, and until you do there is no way that you will be able to treat and eradicate it. We have been conditioned to believe that disease is just a normal part of life. Disease is indeed common but I do not believe that it should be a normal part of our lives. Our bodies have been wonderfully created and I believe that if we give them what they

need they will respond magnificently. Poor nutritional choices, high levels of stress combined with high levels of environmental toxicity have put an enormous strain on the body acid alkaline balance. It is important if we are going to achieve the levels of health that we can have that we must make proper, proactive choices. Massage and related bodywork techniques such deep tissue massages and Lymphatic drainage massage can also help. These bodywork techniques release muscle tension, improve circulation, increase joint flexibility and muscle balance. The direct mechanical effect of rhythmic strokes and stretching elicits the relaxation response of the nervous system. The relaxation of the nervous system stimu-

lates the release of endorphins, the body’s natural painkillers, and strengthens the body’s immune system. Check on the internet under alkaline and acid types of food to find out which foods you buy is one or the other. Remember the body wants to be a little more alkaline than acid.

Euro Trades Near Four-Month Low as ECB Issues Deadline to Cyprus Market Commentary 21st March Cypriot lawmakers will begin debate today on legislation to unlock bailout funds and prevent a financial collapse with a European Central Bank deadline to cut off funding for its lenders in three days. Euro-area finance ministers expect a proposal from Cyprus “as rapidly as possible” to raise the 5.8 billion Euros needed to trigger the emergency loans, they said in a statement late yesterday after meeting in a teleconference. “Cyprus has it in its own hands to prevent the state’s bankruptcy but time is running out,” said Hans Michelbach, a German lawmaker and ally of Chancellor Angela Merkel. The race for a compromise comes after a week of tumult marked by Cypriot lawmakers’ rejection of a tax on bank deposits. That was demanded by the other 16 euro countries and the International Monetary Fund as the condition for a 10 billioneuro rescue. Cypriot police scuffled with protesters, including employees of Cyprus Popular Bank Pcl, outside Parliament yesterday as President Nicos Anastasiades maneuvered at home and in Russia to raise cash. After Russia spurned his bid for credit, the Cypriot central bank proposed a bill to overhaul the banking system that would allow Cyprus Popular, the country’s second-largest lender, to avoid a “catastrophic” bankruptcy and protect insured deposits to an amount of 100,000 Euros. Cyprus in June became the fifth euro-area nation to request a rescue. The action came after Greece’s debt restructuring, the largest in history, trashed the financial health of lenders including Bank of Cyprus Plc and Cyprus Popular. The euro was trading at $1.2985 at 6:54 p.m. in New York, down 0.3 percent. Once Cyprus presents its new proposal and the so-called troika that oversees euro-area bailouts has analyzed it, euro ministers will “be prepared to continue negotiations on an

President Vladimir Putin in Moscow with Jose Barroso adjustment program, while respecting the parameters defined earlier,” according to the statement. As the standoff continued, Standard & Poor’s cut its rating on Cyprus by one level to CCC from CCC+, citing “acute problems” in the island nation’s banking industry. S&P said it has a negative outlook, pointing to the possibility of another cut. Investors often ignore ratings, as evidenced by the rally in Treasuries after the U.S. lost its top grade at S&P in 2011. The ECB turned up the pressure on Anastasiades and euroarea finance chiefs to deliver a rescue package, saying it may cut off emergency funds to Cypriot banks after March 25 unless a plan is in place “that would ensure the solvency of the concerned banks.” Russia is in talks over its possible role in the fund, the RIA Novosti news agency reported. President Vladimir Putin held talks in Moscow yesterday with Jose Barroso, head of the European Commission, Putin’s spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters.

SPAIN BUSINESS BITES

The average price per square metre of urban land in the fourth quarter of 2012 stood at 187.40 euros. During the period 3,843 operations were carried out (down 13.1% on the fourth quarter of 2011) representing 5.1 million square metres (down 14.6% on the fourth quarter of 2011). The previous quarter had seen prices increase by 11.3%.

Spanish bubbly company Freixenet Group has guaranteed job stability for both this year and next, confirming that all their own companies, Castellblanch, Freixenet, Segura Viudas, Rene Barbier and the commercial asset of Comercial Grup Freixenet, as well as suppliers, will continue without reduction of workload or contracts until at least the end of 2014.

In those municipalities with more than 50,000 inhabitants, the average price per square metre fell by 2.6% year-on-year to 366.10 euros. The highest prices were recorded in those municipalities with more than 50,000 inhabitants in the provinces of Madrid (642.90 €/m2), Ciudad Real (583.20 €/m2), Cordoba (489.50 €/m2) and Zaragoza (403 €/m2). The lowest average prices, within those municipalities with more than 50,000 inhabitants, were recorded in the provinces of Valencia (88.50 €/m2), Cadiz (120.10 €/m2) and Albacete (128.90 €/m2).

The guarantee comes amidst agreements in flexible working hours and restructuring of the company, which unions have also praised as a “very good agreement” after the company fulfilled its commitment to job security during difficult times for many. Construction company FCC has announced its intention to lay off around 1,000 workers in Spain, around 15% of its entire staff, in order to adjust their business model to cope with the reduction of business in the construction sector. The company also intends disposing of 2.2 billion euro worth of assets, as it tries to cut debt to 34% by 2015. Cement purchasing fell by 25.1% in February, compared with the same month of 2012, reaching 863,950 tons, according to the Oficemen figures released this week. In

the first two months of the year, the demand for construction material accumulates a decrease of 23.3%, continuing the downward trend that shows an accumulated a 70% reduction since the start of the crisis. Mobile phone company Ericsson will cut its workforce by 250 people in Spain because of the delay in the implementation of the fourth generation (4G) network in the country. The technology group said it has identified the need to adjust its workforce in Spain to, “respond to the termination of contracts and network modernization in order to remain competitive in the market and long-term profitability”. The Russian Agricultural and Livestock Inspection Service has threatened to ban the importation of meat and dairy products from 614 production centres in Spain, as they fail to meet the sanitary requirements of Moscow. Russian health authorities inspected 19 Spanish companies that export animal products to countries of Russia, including Belarus and Kazakhstan, and they report that “62% of them do not respond to our demands. And when you consider that structural failure is related to laboratory

monitoring of exported products that are made according to European standards, this fails in their endorsement of the inspected industries”. The companies have been given a month in which to improve standards, although the Spanish government are dismissing the claims as “exaggerated”. The U.S. multinational hygiene products Kimberly-Clark has announced the closure of its facility in the Zaragoza town of Calatayud, which makes Huggies brand of disposable nappies. The company wants to negotiate with the representatives of the 208 employees at the site, as well as 17 external logistics and 6 other companies, before the intended shutdown in mid-May. Other factories across Europe, including the UK, have already been closed as the company re-evaluates its own business strategy.

POLLEN COUNT Dear Editor, I read in your paper that allergy sufferers are going to have a tough time this spring due to increased pollen counts in Spain. Why isn´t more done to control this problem. I never suffered before coming to Spain but here it´s a nightmare for me. Surely somebody can do something to help control the problem and what causes it in the first place? It can´t be global warming or the fact we mess with nature, can it? I am not looking forward to spring now, but thanks for the warning, maybe you could do a regular feature so we know when pollen will be at its worst. Helen Lister Ed – Hi Helen, you might be interested to know that during the pollen season, Exite Radio gives frequent updates and warnings about pollen levels, to help sufferers prepare for the higher quantity times. Make sure your radio is tuned in to 89.2 or 93.1fm.

COPY AND PASTE Dear Editor, I have lived in Villamartin for some time and I have always wanted to write to a newspaper about something that always seems to repeat itself. You are a newspaper, which I enjoy and appreciated for some time, but why do we need so many different newspapers, often telling the same stories and with the same angle. I appreciate The Leader tends to be first with the news, presumably because you are out on a Monday, but why is it necessary for other papers to do the same thing. The same goes for radio. There are a number of expat stations available, but then somebody comes along and seems to think “You know what´s needed... Another expat radio station”, but doing exactly the same as the others, repeating and copying what they do. I say this to you because you are a newspaper and have a radio station, but the same applies in business. A shop opens and somebody seems to think “that´s a good idea, I will open a shop selling the same things”, often quite close to the original. I want to know why the expat community seems so obsessed with copying each other, as if they all think that they can do it better than anybody else, even though they very seldom do and all too frequently disappear, but some-

times not without taking other casualties down with them. If the expat community broke down the walls of their blinkered minds, they would find that Spain already has shops, and bars, restaurants, businesses, and radio stations and newspapers too. Not that I mind my weekly dose of English news, I appreciate what you do because you are different, but sometimes we all need to open our eyes and look for and support the originals, who are very often, still the best.

ENERGY PERFORMAN CE CER TIFICA TE Dear Editor, Do you know anything about the new law coming into force in Spain on 1st June this year that says everybody will need to have an Energy Performance Certificate on their home?. I have been trying to find out about it but there does not seem to be much information anywhere that gives all the answers. Would it be possible to find out what is going on and maybe print something about it so that everybody knows more about it. I have looked through some of the Spain forums and have found some information but if this really is going to be a new law then surely there should be more information about something that will affect so many people. Thanks Gemma Shaw

AL ARM BELLS! Dear Editor, Could anyone give me any up to date news on this woman .... A friend of mine is currently dealing with CPC Holding of Durham who have promised to obtain the deeds to his Spanish

property he has already forked out in the region of £30k and they are now asking for more to finally obtain the deeds - Alarm bells are FINALLY ringing with him and I decided to do more digging on the company and came across this website ... There is very little info on CPC other than what they have written about themselves and the woman he has been dealing with calls herself Nikki Crozier!! - there is also no information to "Google" on her either. My friend describes her as ruthless, haggard and trashy looking but, along with a collective of people, put his trust in the company as he was at his wits end and thought the bank were going to take the property off him.

WHA T A GREA T SHOW Dear Editor, I was given tickets by friends who couldn't go to see the Di de Di show which was at the theatre in San Miguel on 16th March. What a treat we had. The show had everything, excellent singing and dancing, story lines, great acting and oh how lovely the costumes were. Our friends missed a really great night out. Praise to all those concerned. I will certainly look out for shows from this very professional company.

LOVE OF THE IRISH Dear Editor, Well done the Irish Community in Cabo Roig, particularly the individuals, bars and restaurants who worked so hard in making sure that the St Patrick’s Day Parade was such a success last Sunday. Despite the overcast skies they didnt detract from the day which, as we all expected, was full of vibrancy and colour. The only disappointment were those bars and restaurants that jumped on the bandwaggon on the day, despite refusing to be involved in any of the the organisation or the parade funding. Personally I won’t be supporting any of them in the future. We all know who they are! My money will be spent in those establish-

Please help, I live in Montepinar, Orihuela. Is there any possible way that someone can help to neuter the feral cats in the area. There are a lot of beautiful long haired cats running wild here and it’s very sad. I have one kitten comes into my garden and I am feeding her but she will soon be a mother as she is about 5 to 6months old. I have 4 cats of my own and two dogs which we have taken from the street. We can’t afford to get the kitten neutered through the local vet .is there anyone can help or advise me please. Mrs A Nesbitt normannaspain@hotmail.com

FINGER BUCKETS Dear Sir, I was at the St Paddy´s day event in Cabo Roig and it was even better than ever this year, but I saw a group of women collecting money for Pink Ladies using buckets. These buckets were wide open and unsealed. When I was collecting for charity in England all collecting tins had to be sealed and accounted for, so how can it be so different in Spain and how can we be sure all the money collected goes to Charity?

INTERNATIONAL BOAT SHOW OPEN OVER EASTER WEEKEND MARINA DE LAS SALINAS, SAN PEDRO DEL PINATAR San Pedro del Pinatar, which means St. Peter of the Pine Woods, is located in a coastal spot on the Mediterranean, just above the Northern shores of saltwater lake Mar Menor. Its saltworks are the most significant marshland area in the region of Murcia in southeastern Spain and were designated as a Nature Reserve Regional Park on 1985. The town’s population of 5,200 increases up to 60,000 during summertime, attracting both locals and tourists alike. Marina of the Salinas Marina de las Salinas, which is located within the Port of San Pedro del Pinatar, is among the best and most complete seaports in Spain, reaching the highest quality in all services. It has an extensive shopping and leisure as well as a very large car park. Another of its main features is the availability of berths for yachts far more than many of the other marina’s in the region of Murcia. The year 2011 saw the start of the “Feria Nautica, Marina De Las Salinas” and now, after the success of the previous years, we are pleased

to announce the 3rd boat show which will be held over the Easter weekend from the 28th until the 31st March, opening hours from 10am until 8pm. The is free entry for all the public where the Marina and it’s staff welcome you all. We invite you to enjoy the wonderful setting and beautiful surroundings that the marina has to offer. Puerto de San Pedro Del Pinatar is on the seaward side of the strip of land known as La Manga del Mar Menor that separates the Mediterranean from the Mar Menor lagoon. The area is one of the most popular tourist centres on the Mar Menor Amongst the varied line-up of bars & restaurants, there will also be a selection of new & old boats for sale, motor boats and sail boats, water sports activities, rental of diving equipment, nautical accessories, ice-cream parlour and a fabulous shopping boutique. Marina De Las Salinas is located in the Regional Park of Salinas y Arenales de San Javier. The park has an approximate area of 856 hectares of which about 500 hectares are occupied by the mar salineros, dividing the remaining area between the sand and dunes that lie along the 6 km. of coastline which includes the park, the salt marsh and pine forest of Coterillo between the dunes and the salt lakes in the Northeast. Due to the high natural values, in 1994 this wetland was included in the List of Wetlands of International Importance (the Ramsar Convention), next to the Mar Menor lagoon. You will find the Marina De Las Salinas just 5 minutes off the Ap7, Junction 774. Follow the signs for “playas” and “Puerto deportivo”. See the map below or the advert across the page.

IN THE BUNKER WITH MICK THE GRIP A HUMAN HOLE IN ONE? Golfer Mark Mihal was waiting on the fairway to play his shot at Annbriar Golf Course Illinois when he suddenly disappeared from view. His three fellow golfers immediately rushed over to the spot where he had been standing to see what had happened to him. They found that an 18ft deep sinkhole had opened up and swallowed him whole. The city of St. Louis sits on limestone that tends to dissolve in rainwater, and sinkholes are fairly common. They are however, usually visible. Mihal, 43, who suffered a dislocated shoulder, said it has not put him off golf, but he might try a different course. BRITAIN’S CHRIS WOOD, 25, managed an eagle on the final hole to win the Qatar Masters and his first European Tour title. Wood, who finished in the top five in the 2008 Open, began his last round at Doha with a three shot cushion, but stumbled to trail Sergio Garcia and S. Africa’s George Coetzee by one shot after 17. He then sent a huge drive down the 18th fairway followed by a 5 iron to 12 feet and sank the putt to win by a single stroke. “I knew it would be hard,” he admitted, “They get a great field in these desert events, so this means a lot of world ranking points for me.” AUGUSTA IS LOOMING. A little bit of background history: The course was designed by Alister Mackenzie, who worked with Harry Colt on courses in Great Britain before emigrating to the U.S. in the early 1920s. As well as Augusta, Mackenzie designed Cypress Point in California and Royal Melbourne in Australia. All three are considered among the world's very best golf courses. The tradition of the Green Jacket dates to 1937. Club members wore the single breasted ‘Masters Green’ jackets during the tournament so that spectators could easily spot them if they needed information. The Augusta National club logo appears on the breast pocket and the brass buttons. The winner of the Masters takes the Green Jacket home with him and keeps it for a year, then he returns it to the club, but the jacket is still considered ‘his ’and he is allowed to wear it whenever he visits. Augusta National membership is by invitation only. When a membership slot opens, the club decides who to invite and mails the invitation.

CLAPTONS GOLF SOCIETY BONALBA GOLF AND SPA This month’s competition was played at Bonalba on 15th March. On arrival at the course the sun was shining and we looked set for a really good days golf. The first tee was put back to 10am to allow the course to make sure that the buggies were in good condition which in the end we found that the batteries on some were in poor shape, and left us limping on the course. In the event, being already on the tee, we got away earlier. Course looked to be playing well and the greens were fast and true, and good scores looked the order of the day. Bonalba being a course where the head is more use than the driver, which makes it difficult to play, we still managed a good array of scores as seen in the results below. Everybody having finished we made our way back to the Clubhouse for the presentation and a meal laid on by Chris and his staff. Many thanks for their hospitality. Overall Winner Iain Ralph 36 points Gold Winner Mark Pollitt 35 points Gold Runner Up Brian Abbott 34 points Silver Winner Phil Docherty 30 points Silver Runner Up John Harvey 30 points on c/b Best Front Nine Bill Martin 17 points on c/b Best Back Nine Terry Sharley 17 points on c/b Nearest the Pin 4th 8th 11th 14th

STEVE STRICKER, who finished two strokes behind Tiger at the WGC Cadillac this month, may have regretted spending 45 minutes on the putting green with him the day before, helping him with his posture. Woods went on to win and claim his 76th PGA Tour win. He did thank Steve for his advice. For the first time in five years, Woods has two wins before the Masters. He will be aiming to update his green jacket collection to five, one behind Jack Nicklaus. He could also return to World No. 1 with a win at Bay Hill in the Arnold Palmer Invitational this weekend.

Rick Drake Mark Pollitt Chris Gridley Terry Smith

Most Potential Bob Waite Doubles match: Chris Gridley and Dave Pretty bt Paul Burletson and Mark Pollitt on the sudden death 19th hole. Twos competition Bill the bandit Martin. Next meeting at Altorreal 19th April.

RORY MCILROY was 10 under par in the last 27 holes at the WGC Cadillac, with a 65 on the Sunday which included an eagle and five birdies. He tied for ninth place. His only tournament now before the Masters will be the Shell Houston Open, on March 28th. If he can forget his girlfriend and his wisdom teeth and remember his watch he should be worth a bet at Augusta. Phil Mickelson has three green jackets, and would love a fourth. Brandt Snedeker must be a good bet at 22-1 if his ribs have recovered. It would be great to see any of our brave boys in the winners enclosure but whether it’s won by a favourite or an outsider The Masters will be as always, unmissable. You can contact me for all your gripping and repair requirements on 638 859 475. Until next time, happy golfing.

BENIJOFAR GOLF SOCIETY Bonalba 20-3-13 The March outing for the society saw us travel up the motorway for the short trip to Bonalba Golf on a lovely sunny day with just the right conditions for golf. The course as usual was in a very good condition but the greens are driving everybody mad. Nobody seems to be able to figure them out in order to achieve a good score and just when you think you are beginning to read them, the next couple will play the complete opposite and wreck your card. The difference in pace above and below the hole on some greens is frightening and in a lot of cases, three putts on the green is the norm. We played our monthly stableford competition off the yellow tees which in quite a few places were almost on the white tees and it was surprising what a difference this made on some of the holes. One unfortunate player having hit a good 220metre drive ,then proceeded to hit a tree 30 metres in front with his next shot. In a fit of temper ? he then belted his third shot against the same tree and cannoned off the fence and ended up 40 metres behind and 10 metres back from where his drive had finished ! Three Spanish gents who had witnessed all of these shots appeared to be highly amused at this whereas the player in question did not appear amused at all. I wonder why ?

www.yourlocalnewspaper.info

This amusing piece of play was enough for Andy Trefy to win the “Kempy” cup on the day. Nearest the pins on the day were won by Duncan Williamson on the fourth and Chris Udell on the eight hole. Nobody hit the green on the long eleventh hole and Alec Aspen was the nearest on the fourteenth. Winner of the par three’s was Duncan Williamson and the par five’s winner was Geoff Moulds, both with a total of nine points. In the main stableford event, only three players scored thirty points or above. In third place by virtue of a higher handicap was Alec Aspen and runner up was John Kemp both players scoring thirty points. Winner on the day was Paul Whatley with thirty three points. We all returned to Sams bar in Quesada where a big thank you goes to Maureen who despite her broken ankle, still managed to lay on food for the players ! Next outing is at La Serena on the 17th April. Information on the society can be obtained from John Kemp on 605195056 or at benijofargolf@hotmail.com

LAS RAMBLAS GOLF SOCIETY Report for we. 22 March by Doug Wright Beautiful conditions for golf this week as the temperatures are beginning to rise. This obviously suited Tony Brooks who was in the frame on all 3 days. We started off the week on Monday with a 6x6x6 which was won by the team of Doug Wright, Tony Brooks, John Robertson & Brian Humphreyson with a score of 79 pts. It was tough for the Category One golfers in our Wednesday Stableford as we had to play off the white tees. The only golfer who coped was big hitting Carsten Pedersen who had the length to cope with a very difficult course and came in with an excellent 37 pts. The remaining golfers played off the yellows and reds as normal. The full results were: Cat 1. 1. Carsten Pedersen 37 pts, 2. Lindsay Forbes 31 pts, Mick Brentnall 27 pts. Cat 2. 1. Ken Meridith 34 pts, 2. Heinz Lei 33 pts, 3. Tony Brooks 29 pts. 2s Club. Heinz Lei & Lindsay Forbes. On Friday we played a Two Ball Better Ball. I was privileged to play with the winners Tony Brooks & Rod Bryant who, belying their high handicaps, played like pro golfers to come in with an amazing 13 under par 49 pts. Some golf! Runners up with a score which usually wins were Barbara Hitchings and Rod Doel with 47 pts.

SAN JAVIER GOLF SOCIETY CAPTAIN’S DINNER The annual Captain’s Dinner was held in the club house at La Serena Golf and 41 members, partners and guests assembled for a most enjoyable evening. An excellent dinner was followed by the presentations for a number of events during the year including Player of the Year and the inaugural Lady Player of the Year Trophies and both the Summer and Winter KO events. Retiring Captain Barry Beale made a mercifully short speech recalling a number of amusing events which had taken place during the year and more seriously expressing his thanks to David Archer for his work on the new website, Mick Hardy for organising the League team, the members for supporting events and importantly the members of the committee generally for all their efforts during the year. He pointed out that without their support the Captain’s job would not be possible

‘Captain-in-waiting’ David Williams was offered all best wishes for the coming year and for recording the greatest handicap reduction during the year, although a warning was issued that recent statistics suggest that becoming Captain comes with a handicap health warning. Barry’s final task was to thank his wife Sarah for her patience, understanding and assistance during the year and she was presented with a lovely bouquet of flowers. The evening continued with the vocal talents of Ricky Patton, which soon had everybody up and dancing and safe to say that a good time was had by all.

LA ZENIA GOLF SOCIETY By Eric Lucas We travelled down to El Valle on Thursday in some great golfing weather, the winds from the last few weeks had gone. It was all looking good. We played full handicap stableford with three n/t/p's, and the normal two's competition.

Three of our guests were playing off very low handicaps 5,6.7 all coming in with over thirty points. After a few roll over weeks with the two's finally it was shared by two, Steve Thomas and yours truly, but taking the two on the ninth did not help me on the back nine, my score was miserable, much to the delight of Mo Flint. Congratulations to Nick Brooks who won his match play championship game against Terry Cullen. The presentations were made by vice captain Ernie Wilson.

THE HUB GOLF SOCIETY AT LA TORRE GC The Hub Golf Society started this season´s campaign at La Torre, one of the six Nicklaus Trail courses. New members were in abundance to chase the various prizes on offer on the day, plus their chance to get off to a good start for this season´s Grand Prix challenge. This popular competition will be run using the same format as last season, players scoring their best 8 events from the 12 Grand Prix events during the season. Three nearest the pins were up for grabs, plus two best guests and of course prizes for the first three placings. The Hubbers have been fortunate to secure a whole season´s sponsorship for the best guest, via PJ´s Rent a Car. Ali and Trevor Scammell, Hubbers themselves, are pleased to support the Society which will run parallel with further advertising and promotion for their hire car and airport transfer business. La Torre´s hole 6 was nominated as nearest the pin in two shots, with John Eyre hitting a tremendous drive which rolled up the slightly elevated green only to roll back down again. His subsequent second shot overshot the green to leave Sean Smith to hit a comfortable

pitch from 40yds to 5ft for the spoils. New father Tony Flood was inspired by his daughter´s recent birth to win two prizes. Results N.T.P: Hole 9 Stevie Dunn, Hole 17 Tony Flood, Hole 6 Sean Smith PJ´s Rent a Car Best Guest: 2nd Kevin Springett 33pts, 1st Joe Miller 34pts Grand Prix: 3rd Richard Kent 33pts, 2nd Steve Higgins 33pts, 1st Tony Flood 37pts Next outing Hacienda Riquelme April 14th. Picture shows Tony Flood (seated) along with other winners.

EUROGOLF, LA MARQUESA 67 members took part in the Monthly Stableford, played on Thursday 21 March at our home course La Marquesa. The weather conditions could not have been better, with very little wind and welcome sunshine. The course is looking in good condition. The same can’t be said for Mr Jackson’s golf shoes, which started talking to him as the sole was coming away from the uppers. A quick trip home for a new pair and he was ready for the off. However 2 balls into the ditch on the first hole did not improve his state of mind. You would think that someone with something like a dozen pairs of shoes in his garage would check that the pair brought out to play was in a play worthy condition.

‘Mike Probert talks Golf Sponsored by Costa Blanca Green Fee Services. Here on the Costa’s golf is one of the biggest leisure time activities for both tourists and resident alike and with this in mind we have secured the services of Mike Probert of Costa Blanca Green Fee Services to provide a weekly round up of local golfing events and topics and in conjunction with us at THE LEADER will provide discounted golf prices to all of our readers and run our golf competitions. JUST ANOTHER GOLF TAX? For some time now I have been advocating the need to have golf insurance via either membership of the Spanish Golf Federation or a private golf insurance policy. Unfortunately the Spanish Golf Federation have taken events into their own hands and have now instructed all golf courses that ALL players must have golf insurance coverage from their membership scheme or by paying the daily fee which is between €1 to 3 per person depending upon the region in which the course is located and that their membership card must be shown on the day. The situation regarding private insurances is still not clear but it looks like the Spanish Golf Federation are railroading golfers to become members and some courses will not accept private insurance cover that is for sure. Hot on the heels of the 13% increase in IVA tax on golf this appears to be just the imposition of yet another form of tax on golfers. The idea is that the money raised will be used to improve the courses BUT without doubt this money will be lost in the coffers of the Spanish Golf Federation. When will our hosts stop thinking that ex-pat golfers have an endless supply of disposable income? Surely if someone has gone to the time and expense to purchase full liability golf insurance from any reputable broker then this should be acceptable! I guess that only time will tell on this one and a story will unfold.

IS MOSA TRAJECTUM THE FIRST CASUALTY? As the recession bites, is this the first as other resorts follow? It was announced last week that Mosa Trajectum Golf Resort near Baños y Mendigo, Murcia, has closed all of its golf facilities, three 9 holes courses, although the Olive Course has not been playable for some time. The Par 3 Challenge courses, the Plaza Parador Hotel - Restaurante are also casualties. Mosa Trajectum, the first 'resort course', opened in 1999 in a fanfare of glory using the image of Dutch footballer Johan Cruyff as its ambassador. Progress was swift as in 2004 it held the PGA EuroPro Tour Championship Final featured on Sky Sports which was arranged by local golfer Ivie Davies Last June, it was reported that the resort was suffering through a succession of debts and defaults causing the halt of trading, but at that time it was hoped to reach an amicable solution with creditors, and owner Ronald Ras even boasted of having new investors, in particular an American oil company willing to contribute 1 billion Euros, for several projects that included building a four-star hotel and rejuvenation of the golf courses to revive the resort that would coincide with the opening of the Corvera international airport. In July last year Mosa Trajectum Resort was auctioned and the successful bidder was SNS Property Finance BV Bank. Through investigations by the Dutch Finance Ministry, SNS Property Finance BV Bank, had debts amounting to 800 million Euros which should have been repaid by the end of 2012. It defaulted, however, leading to the nationalisation of the Bank by the Government and the arrest of Buck

Groenhof, the Director General. Ronald Ras said, as a result of all these unexpected situations and without 100% guarantees of a solution, that he was forced to make the hard decision of having to close the golf courses and the Plaza-Parador. In reality, it was impossible to reach any amicable settlement for the repurchase of Mosa Trajectum Golf Resort. Local experts suggest that the operating management were not familiar with the marketing of golf resorts at the highest level, particularly in view of the mounting competition on its door step.

20 March 2013 at El Plantio This was our first visit of the year to the well established course of El Plantio. It is always a popular venue which was shown by the number of members and guests who chose to join us there, 40 in all. Weather wise it was the best golfing day this year, bright sun and not much wind, so no rain gear but shirt sleeves. The course was in reasonable condition, the greens were a tad slow though, but not too bad none the less. One person in particular had problems with the fences bouncing off them into the water and also managing to hit a nearest the pin marker from off the green, sending ball shooting sideways, such is life. The scores were good so the handicap secretary will have some work to do.

Stan Boyles Memorial Trophy at Saurines 18th March.

The winners were: Gold Division: 1st Colin Ranson 29pts on c/b, 2nd Ray Brown 29pts and 3rd Bob Berry 27pts c/b Silver Division: 1st Brian Rendell 34pts on c/b, 2nd Barny Barningham 34pts and 3rd George Stewart 31pts Bronze Division: 1st Tony Ellis 34pts, 2nd Dave Keating 29pts on c/b and 3rd Paul Flanaghan 29pts The best guest was John Dunnison 24pts NTP's: Brian Smith hole 7, Colin Ranson hole 9, nearest in 2 Bill Mackay hole 13 and nearest in 3 Bob Berry hole 15. There were 4 twos in all so each received €10, Brian Smith, Bill Mackay, Neil Harrison and Paul Flanaghan The free game draw was won by Geoff Dowsett As usual we would like to thank the Tavern on Lo Crispin for the tappas served to us after the presentation. Our next full 18 holes is at Los Colinas, 9am start off two tees this venue has been changed from Bonalba due to hollow tinning. Our Lorca trip is now on the website, there is a limited number of places so be quick and sign up, also the Albi Lush at Altorreal is now on there too, this day includes golf, meal and entertainment at Monty's Bar on Montebello so it should be good day.

35 players took part in an individual Stableford Competition for the inaugural playing of the Stan Boyles Memorial Trophy at the Nicklaus designed Saurines desert course near Roldan. Stan Boyles, a very popular member of our Society, passed away in March 2012 following a serious respiratory illness and it was decided to perpetuate his memory by playing annually in future for a trophy named in his honour. We were fortunate to enjoy a beautifully sunny day for this event and the course was in its usual immaculate condition although the severely undulating greens caused many putting problems for a number of our players. The first winner of the splendid trophy was David “Charlie” Rodgers who scored an excellent 38 points to beat our Captain, Dean Charles, who showed a welcomed return to form by scoring a highly creditable 36 points. The full list of winners on the day were: Category 1: 1st David Rodgers with 38 points. 2nd Ron Beales with 34 points. 3rd Ron Davis with 31 points on count back over last 9 holes. Sonny Edling and Sheila Aston also scored 31 points in this category. Category 2: 1st Dean Charles with 36 points. 2nd Roy Aston with 35 points. 3rd Marianne Hunt with 31 points on count back. John Saunders, Roy Welburn and Rita East also scored 31 points in this category. Nearest the Pin prizes were won by Sonny Edling (2), Geoff Branton, Roy Welburn and Geoff Walters. The 2’s prize fund was shared by Geoff Branton, John Connolly and Sheila Aston with Sheila recording two 2’s to receive a double share. Next week on Monday 25th March we will be playing at Vistabella with a first tee time of 9.00am and members should check their tee times by accessing the web site or referring to the notice board in the Portobello Bar in Campoverde.

By Terry Screen This week we were again fishing the Eden Canal for the eleventh and final round in the Abbey Angling Cup on the 19th March; perhaps now that the weather seems to be improving we will soon be able to fish the other venues. I paid a visit to the Murcia town water last Sunday, and the water was just receding off the footpath which has left about four inches of silt on there. The flood water has now reached the Eden Canal with the excess water overflowing in to the old river bed, the water on the match length is controlled by sluice gates which regulates the flow, but the water was still rising through out the match and was running quite fast. Although conditions are not good by any means most anglers caught fish. This being the last match of the series the points was close right up to the end as only eight of the eleven matches points count which means dropping the three lowest points. 1st Alan (The Chairman) Reid with 5.640kg fishing the feeder using bread and corn 2nd Stan (The Man) Roberts with 5.360kg fishing feeder pole using maggot 3rd Andy (Web Man) Stevenson with 4.720kg fishing the pole feeder using corn and maggot

This weeks match venue had to be finalised on the morning of the match, as it was not possible to guess the waters condition until the last minute before the start of the match. We met at the top of the Eden canal to decide whether we would fish either the Drain—Sweet Water or the Eden canal, and as only 4 pegs were available on the Eden, we fished the Mercadona drain. First was Ian Dalzell with 2.10kilos, second was Derek King with 2.08, third was Geoff Tempest with 1.88 and in fourth spot was Ann Fowles with 1.26kilos. The next match the 8th in the Clubs Spring Series, will be fished at the Embalse d´Ojos [Blanca] on Thursday the 28th of March. Meet at the Restaurant near the roundabout at 8.30am. The next of the Clubs Quiz nights will be held at the Bar on Tuesday the 26th of March , starting at 7.30pm. The cost per person is 1 Euro each and teams of up to 6 or less can take part in this fun quiz. There is also a game of Snowball Bingo that is played for during the course of the evening. So come along and enjoy the evening- all are welcome to come and take part.

The final results of the Abbey Angling Cup 1st Terry Screen with 87pts minus 15 pts total 72pts 2nd Dave Hoare with 75pts minus 10pts total 65pts 3rd Bill Reade with 68pts minus 4pts total 64pts

The next of the Clubs meetings will not be until the 7th of April, as there are 5 Sundays in March. The Committee meets at 10.00am followed by the General meeting at 11.00am. The Club is very lucky to have such a great venue for its home at the BAR EL ALTO LA DOLORES which can be found just off the N332 between La Mata and Guardamar.

Next week is the start of the Spring Series Cup, and all details are available on our website www.abbeyangling.com or from the Match Secretary Terry Screen on 965 32 8368

Well it looks to me like a photo finish for the championship, both teams at the top remain unbeaten however, the outcome looks like its in the hands of the Hub. Hyenas have to play both Gophers and the Bulls with the Meerkats having to play the Gophers. Each of those fixtures could go either way, but lets assume the big two win all three, then its down to the last game of the season when the Bulls entertain Gogarty´s. The Gophers were in a similar position last term when the winners of the

Meerkats/Gogarty´s match would be crowned champions. The Kats won it then, will the Gophers hold their nerve in the real big one? It will be very close but of course if both league leaders win their remaining matches then the Bulls must win that game for the title. The championship has been decided previously i.e. a couple of seasons ago, when the Bulls and Madigans (as the Meerkats were then) tied on points with the Bulls winning on leg difference. What a finale! Currently, this week´s fixtures went to plan, the Mixtures acquitting themselves well against the league leaders. Dave Wright 98 and Ian Sleath 75 top scored for the home side in the first leg, this was countered by Ron Chadwick´s 121 and 171, Graham Dunning contributing 100 and 85 making sure the Bulls were down to the double first. Indifferent finishing left the reliable Trevor Hartley to complete the 1001 on D1. Chadwick added a second leg on D19, before Sleath pulled one back for the hosts. Lorraine Cox top scored on 119. Some decent scoring from Cheryl Sleath and Tracey Simpson had Hartley and the ¨Hag¨ on their heels, but Hartley retrieved the situation on D15. Wright took the second doubles on D7 after partner Cox 95 had set up the finish. In the third doubles Amanda Skinner 95 and Phil Waller 2x100 really pounded the treble against Sleath and Dan Jones, Waller completing the 601 on D4. Debbie Mackleston featured first in the singles facing the Bulls Dunning. Enough to say that Dunning had plenty of opportunities to finish, eventually on D1. Sleath took on Chadwick in the next and despite the Bulls player shooting at D16, Sleath finished 52 (S12,D20) for the hosts third leg. The next three went the Bulls way courtesy of the Hag, Hartley and Waller, leaving Bulls captain Skinner to play Cheryl Sleath. The captain, as is customary, outscored her opponent but found the bigger target of the double out of reach. Mixture Sleath resigned to a defeat continued plodding her way down until she reached D4 and to her surprise and everybody else, in it went for their fourth leg of the evening. Second place Gogarty´s faired better leg wise and on the finishing front than the Bulls in their match against Tony Beverley´s unpredictable Breeze Bar. In the team game James Brown, Chris O´Brien and Mark Todd all hit tons, however a 133 from Beverley gave the visitors an opportunity. Brown closed out the leg on D5. An excellent triple from the championship chasing side made it 2-0, via Paul Easton 140, Ali O´Keef 100, Kevin Procktor 95 and a 48 out. The second triples went a similar way Brown 2x100, Todd 100, O´Brien 118 with Brown slotting home D12 for 3-0. Margaret Watson 95 got the Breezers off to a good start in the doubles, however, it wasn’t capitalised on and pairs finalists O´Keef and Easton D7 finished off the Breezers. John Bowden got into his stride with some excellent scoring for the San Miguel side, but it was Brown who hit the necessary 60 points (S20,D20) for the leg. The Todd boys, Jack hitting 140 expected a further win, but Watson wasn’t fazed and went out on D16

for the Breezers first leg. O´Keef made sure of his leg and a team point with 3x100 and D20, followed by Brown making sure of both points with 140,100,96 and D12 against the formidable Watson. Bowden retrieved a leg from Todd the elder on D2 after a closely fought game. Two more wins from Jack Todd and Easton followed before O´Brien showed a little of what he can do scoring 140,100,81 but then collapsing around double time. His eventual D1 gave Gogarty´s their 10-2 result. Around the league, Breakaways and PB´s fought a close match both teams aspiring to win the Hattons League Plate. The resulting draw probably suited both captains however both sides have a similar run in to the end of season and it may well be resolved on leg difference. Peter Ayres starred for PB´s hitting a 180. Misfits/Busters match was a lively affair, Tina Kaylor 101 and Ron Young 100 figuring for the home side with a couple of outstanding performances from Playa Flamenca´s Busters. Mark Filer was the man in form 140,121,104 and 2x100 was his contribution followed by Peter O´Rourke 101,100 and a fine 90 out (T20,D15). Other Busters scores, Irene Russell 100, Ray Harvey 132 and Will Drummond 121. The Meerkats made the short trip to the Harry Potteresque surroundings of the Pint Depot and gave a reasonable performance to consolidate their third place league position. All Stars captain Rachel Broadhead has created for herself a brand new throwing action, where she got it from I don’t know, possibly Ray Pryce who has recently been having trouble with his golf handicap, going from a useful 18 down to a mundane 22 in a very short while. Ray and Rachel get your heads together to sort each other´s problems out. Gary Minor did well 125,116 but couldn’t find himself on the winning side. However Vi Pyce D2 and Eddie Fozzard D6 did for the home side´s two wins. Derek Kingsbury 140 and D4 and John Eyre 100,140 had a great pair as did Paul Durrant 140,100,D20 playing with Graham Todd. Star of the night for the Meerkats was Tomas Piwczyk, one of the Kats eastern bloc young guns, who managed to hit all four doubles of the games he played. Still room for improvement but nevertheless a great performance from him. The Federation play offs have recently concluded to determine who represents Torrevieja in the Spanish Nationals later in the year in Cadiz. The 6 events held in each month from October last, finished in Montesinos this month. 26 players participated in the event which was a round robin everyone playing each other, over 6 months. Coming out on top with a magnificent performance was Sam Salt on 94 wins, second Darren Sanderston 86, third Mark Farmer 85, fourth Steve Hatton 80, fifth Dave Rogers 77 with sixth place going to Keith Lowman on 75. Further details will follow. Listen to darts chit chat on Exite Radio 89.2FM or 93.1FM live on Saturday between 3 and 4 p.m. Paul Durrant, League Chairman

HORADADA BOWLS CLUB REPORT The last seven days have marked the end of all league fixtures for this season and the conclusion of our internal competitions. Very busy, very stressful for some! Enterprise League Monday 18 March - A home game against San Miguel was never going to be easy, no matter how well you bowled. However, the finl result does not tell the true story. With 4 point -72 shots to Horadada and 10 points - 92 shots to San Miguel one would think San Miguel had it all their own way..... no, no, no. Two of our rinks battled throughout the whole of the game and ended losing by just 2 shots. Due to many of our bowlers experiencing ill health at the moment, we also lost valuable points and shots for not fielding a full side. Unfortunately, our final placing in the table was near the bottom... but not at the bottom. Congratulations to the winning rinks of Maureen Semper, Ian Hamblett and Terry Hucknall 19 – 13, Rose Guppy, Kath Reid and Giuseppe Galelli 18 – 12. Many thanks to John Bailey for all your work his season. Voyager League Monday 18 March - The last game of the season seems to have been the turning point for the Condors......needed a few weeks more I think! A home game against La Marina Pathfinders produced a home win with 10 points. Well done to you all for believing in yourselves! Final result Horadada 10 points shots 100; La Marina 4 points 89 shots. Winning Rinks. Alan Russell, Carol Linehan and Jack Linehan 16 – 11, Isabella Keith, Fred Trigwell and Bill Stanaway 17 – 16, Sylvia Fleck, Roy Thompson and Barry Evans 14- 13, Diane Collins, Peter Pitt and Tony Trodd 29-6. Many thanks to Fred Trigwell and Tony Trodd for all your work and efforts this season. Fed 4's Tuesday 19 March - The last Fed 4 game of the season was a home game against a very strong side from Vistabella. Vistabella proved they can adapt to the challenges of a green very quickly and went away with a 2 points to 6 win. Well done to the winning rink of Carol Linehan, Fred Semper, Jack Linehan and Barry Evans 14 – 11. Many thanks to Barry Evans for your efforts this season. Club Competitions - Congratulations and thanks to everyone who helped make this year a success. Special thanks to Barry Evans for organising the event throughout the year, to all competitors for taking part, to markers, spectators and those who provided refreshments when they were needed most. This year has proved to be an exceptional year for Kath Reid and Giuseppe Galelli, and we recognise, appreciate and applaud the effort and commitment that the two of them have shown over the year. Commitment and practise does pay !!! Congratulations to all who reached the final stages of the competitions.

On a personal note, I must thank James Keith for all his efforts on behalf of Horadada Club. Horadada Bowls Club was very sorry to hear of the death of Dave Chapman from Country Bowls. To his family and friends we offer our deepest sympathy. The photo below - Exceptional performances by Kath Reid and Giuseppe Galelli in our Internal Competitions.

By Steve Hibberd Greenlands bowls club recently competed against Javea BC in the final of possibly Costa Blanca's most prestigious competition, the Premier 20 Cup. Having previously beaten Country Bowls, La Marina & San Luis, we faced the might of Northern based Javea, and took them right to the wire. At home, the pairing of Sue Johnson & Bobbie Sims performed admirably, winning 19-14. The trips team of Penny Tomkins, Brian Miller & Barry Collins, also recorded a great victory (17-14). Meanwhile up at Javea, Steve Cantley never looked like losing his singles match, as he triumphed 21-15. Watched by owners Mike & Pam (thanks for all your support guys!), the rinks had the unwanted distinction of being last to finish, whilst being fed varying information regarding how results had concluded back at Greenlands - no pressure then! Led by skip Lynn Greenland, ably supported by Bill Sims, Jan Pocock & Mike Veale, they came back superbly from a large early deficit, to take the discipline 2018. This meant that the tie was drawn 4 all, but it was Javea who would become champions with a superior shot difference. Well done to everyone who represented Greenlands throughout the tournament. All in all, it was a very successful week for GBC, as various competitions reached their climax. They all deserve a big hug. Who, you may well ask? Marilyn's multi-talented bunch of Bears, that's who! Having found themselves top of Fed 4s div 'B', they travelled to San Miguel, where they earned a pleasing 4-4 draw, but needed to wait for the result at San Luis before the corks could be popped. Sure enough, results went their way, meaning they were champions. Well done to last day heroes/heroines: F Tilley, P Lockley, C Thomas, A Goodfellow 21-13. M Lockley, S Johnson, J Parker, M Fryatt 23-11. Although not quite champions, twas a great campaign for our div 'A' representatives, the Bulls. After a slow start to the season, we bounced back with a vengeance, finishing a very creditable 3rd in a formidable division. At home to San Miguel Harriers, the teams of S Heath, B Miller, S Hibberd, L Greenland (20-13) & M Mackay, B & B Sims, M Veale (19-15), won 6-2. A big thank you to all who supported this competition, in which at times saw us stretched to the limits of player availability. Also finishing 3rd, this time in SABA league div 1, were the Maples. At home to San Miguel Pulsars, they won on 3 rinks, giving them a satisfactory 6-8 scoreline. Congratulations: J Clements, S Heath, A Goodfellow 19-17. S Stead, M Thomas, B Pocock 26-12. T French, F & M Edwards 18-15. What a last day result for the Sycamores! Although relegated from the top flight, they went down in style, as they thrashed Quesada Pearls 10-4 in their own backyard. Get in there: J Oliver, Penny Tomkins, T Upham 18-15. Z Wilcock, M Lockley, B Miller 18-16. B Doran, V Duchart, J Wilcock 17-11. L Miller, M Kilby, A Brown 18-15. In div 2, Chestnuts travelled to Country Bowls, where they lost 12-2 against the imaginatively named 'Supernovas'. You did your bit lads: T Hodges, M Cassidy, D Thompson 14-12. A tough game was always on the cards, as the Winter Leaguers travelled to San Luis. And so it proved to be the case, as they went down 8-2, but an awesome display by B & B Sims, B Miller plus skip L Greenland (237), helped eased the pain. Another fine display by the Berleeners earned them 2 points, courtesy of this winning rink: M Dewer, T Hodges, N Cork, Pete Tomkins (23-9.). Congratulations to Steve Westall, David Bray & Barbara Doran, winners of the recently completed club internal Tues Roving Jack league. PLEASE NOTE: On Tues 26 Mar at 1pm, there will be a quick open meeting to approve or disapprove the CBBA proposals made by the club. All members are invited to attend.

COUNTRY BOWLS REPORT

Last weekend Country Bowls held a two day Open Triples Competition generously sponsored by the Devere Group and Your Car Mar Menor S.L. Twenty teams played their hearts out to be in contention for the coveted cash prizes. The top prize and congratulations went to three of our own members, Carole Donnellen, Sandra Mcilroy and Peter Dix, for Carole and Sandra it was a remarkable achievement, as it was their first taste of success in a tournament of this kind, they were overwhelmed....everyone was so thrilled for them! They played Gail Watson, Ian Kenyon & Fred Wiltshire in a very exciting eight end final winning by two shots. Commiserations but very well done to Fred's team who beat Paul Bonsor, Tom Hill & Bill Pain in the semi-final and to Lynne Bishop, Steve Pearson & Dave Rogers the other losing semi-finalists. Thanks go to Mike Lewis of the 'Devere Group' and to Andy & Amanda Wild of 'Your Car Mar Menor S.L.' to Charlie Watkins (Club Captain), Dave Chaplin (Club President), Brian Patton (Comp. Sec.) for organising

Well done to Captain Charlie Watkins and all the side and congratulations to San Luis Trekkers for winning the league. It was also the last week for the Fed 4's. The Clarets went to San Luis to play the Blues which resulted in a draw, the only winning rink of Margaret Odell, Geoff Paylor, Gerry Gough & Eric Bishop 26-15 was also enough to win the long game. Overall shots, Clarets 54 (4) - 49 (4) Blues. The Clarets finished second in the league, well done to Captain Eric Bishop and all of his Squad. Congratulations to the league winners Quesada Panthers. The Merlots played La Siesta at home and won two points from the team of S Simpson, G Morris, S & B Norris 20-13. Overall shots, Merlots 44 (2) - 54 (6) La Siesta.

EMERALD ISLE BOWLS CLUB The Cavaliers last home game on 15 March against Monte Mar Matadors was 'must win' to keep their League status. Despite a big win of 31 shots to 10 by John Jarvis, Barbara Eldred and Jenny Hill and an overall win by 8 points to 6, shot difference 108 against 90, was it enough to stay up? Fingers crossed. On the same day the Claymores also had a home game against San Luis Tigers. Winning on just two rinks, it was a sad end to the season for the Claymores going down by 93 shots to 144, 4 points to 10. What more is there to say? On 18 March the Moonrakers played their last game at home against the

Lynne Bishop.

...................... By Bill Allen

strong San Luis Trekkers, who were hoping for a complete six rinks win. They managed four wins, losing on two. Now a nail-biting wait for other results - have they or haven't they won the League? 107 shots to 92, 10 points to 2, at least we had lovely summer-like weather for our last game. Also on 18th the Titans visited La Marina Explorers for their last game, hoping to discover some form to finish the season with a win, but with two wins and one draw they came home with 5 points and 97 shots against the home side's 9 points and 105 shots. Not the best season for the Emerald Isle but next season - who knows!

GREENLANDS BOWLS CLUB CHAMPIONSHIPS By Steve Hibberd

Greenlands Bowls Club held their annual championships finals recently, in what turned out to be a glorious sunny weekend. This years ladies singles saw Lynn Greenland beat Sue Johnson, whilst in the male equivilent, Jim Oliver saw off a valiant comeback by Graham Bater, to take the crown. Zoe Wilcock & skip Marilyn Fryatt beat Sue Johnson and young Beryl Norris, in what turned out to be an enthralling ladies pairs encounter, won by Marilyn's last wonder wood (my fav tipple's a Spitfire by the way!). Congrats to the evergreen Fred Tilley & Glyn Inwood for their victory over seasoned veterans Mel Brown & Brian Pocock (only joking Mel) in the mens pairs. Mr Pocock again took centre stage, along with his better half Jan, this time in the mixed pairs, but it was Florence & Mike Edwards who deservedly took the honours. Third time lucky for Brian P, who along with Jan & Mel, triumphed over Dave & Lynn Greenland, plus Barry Latham in the mixed trips. Mixed rinks title went to Phil & Mary Lockley, Sandra Heath & skip Steve Hibberd, who beat the team of Beryl Norris, Keith Page, Brian Miller & skip Barry Collins. Finally, the mens plate went to Dave O'Sullivan, who just squeezed past Brian Miller.

March 18th and week 25 leaving just 5 weeks more matches and this week is the first time since 1st October that Margaret’s La Siesta Sharks are not at the top of the league. This week they went down in a very close match to John’s Lions from Catorce with Andy and Joe dying in the dead hole but still having 2 wins while for the Lions 2 pairs also scored 2 wins. Moving into top position, are Shelagh’s Jaguars from Ebony & Ivory who had a fine win at The Sportsman against Steve’s “A” team whose 3 pairs only managed 1 win each while for the Jaguars, Basil and Shelagh topped the night with 3 wins. Over at TJ’s Sue’s home birds The Jays just missed out to Ayliff’s travellers from Bar Meson Galea who had their 2nd successive win with 2 pairs scoring 2 wins each while for the Jays 2 pairs only had 1 win each.

In Catorce John’s Leopards just won to hold on to 3rd place against Dorothy’s Magpies from Izzys Bar who dropped 3 places but I can’t comment on the result as the score sheet was mislaid. Coming down to Hoggies, Val’s Voles from Bar Virgo had their 3rd successive win to move up to 4th place overtaking my Hoggies Falcons with a grotesque win as they had all 3 pairs with 2 wins each, while our Falcons 3 pairs only scraped 1 win each. Over at Izzys Bar my mate Richard’s Ospreys from Hoggies suffered the same fate against Mary’s revived Peacocks who had Jean and Mike in great form with their 3 wins while for the Ospreys Bob and Pat boobied with a zero result. At Bar Virgo, Derek’s Robins squeezed a win against our other Hoggies team, Russell’s Kestrels whose pair of Dave and Tom maximised with 3 wins while 2 of the Robins pairs had steady 2 wins each. Finally, out to the Ebony & Ivory and keeping the best score till last, Keith’s Merlins soared above Graham’s Sportsman “B” leaving Graham and Brian without a smell of a win, while 2 pairs for the Merlins used their talons to get 3 wins each and move up the league 5 places.

SERGIO GOAL SIGNALS BOUNCEBACKABILITY CD UTIEL.................0 FC TORREVIEJA.....1 Having slipped to one place outside the relegation zone following last weeks heartbreak home defeat, Torry showed true spirit of character, as they fought hard to achieve victory at 8th place Utiel. Back in November, Torry drew 1-1 at home to Utiel, but circumstances have changed dramatically since then, with a target of a place in the play offs having been replaced by one of div 3 survival. Inside the small 1,500 capacity La Celadilla Stadium, just north of Valencia, the men from Southern Costa Blanca knew that they just had to return home with at least a point, if the downward slide was to be averted. An interesting line-up saw Manolo in goal, whilst Tur started on the bench. Also starting was Vicente, Juanfran, Rafa, Dani, Jorge, Burguillos, Manu, Sergio, Luis and Gasch. Keeping Tur company were Abel, Patri, Guillem, and a surprise in that Koeman was once again fit. Utiel had the first early chance, when a header went wide following a cross from the left. Good play by Gasch set up Sergio, but his shot was just wide. Not to be outdone, defender Sergio then poached a goal from Dani's corner on 12 mins, his 1st of the season, and what a time to get one! Torry's packed defence protected a diffident Manolo, who in all fairness had little to do during a mundane opening 45 mins. Jorge played well in an unaccustomed midfield role, to accommodate Juanfran. Torry almost scored another early in the 2nd half, when a move involving Manu to Dani, whose cross was headed goal bound, only for a defender to clear it off the line. Sergio was unlucky not to double his tally, before proceedings got a tad nasty, as Juanfran squared up to his opponent whom had previously followed through. The match ref appeared to miss rough stuff meted out by the home side, as Manu became their latest victim. Good news for Torry fans (the few that had travelled) must have been the sight of the much missed Koeman replacing Sergio. He was straight into action, providing an assist for Manu, whose strike hit the post. On 72 mins, Manolo could only watch, as a spectacular volley from the edge of the box flew over the bar. More good news, in the shape of a fit again Abel replacing captain marvel Jorge, as Torry could sense a victory. Manu came to his sides rescue when he got in a vital block to prevent a certain goal. With time running out, Utiel piled on the pressure, as Torry looked as if they were starting to wilt. Into 5 mins of added stoppage time, a Utiel defender collapsed with no one near him, showing signs of a serious injury. He was eventually stretchered off, increasing the amount of added time. Koeman just missed the target, before the ref blew a much welcome blast of his whistle, as Torry collected a well deserved 3 points. Next week Torry must visit Alzira on Sun 31 Mar, knowing that although they had moved up to 15th place, they are the only club not to play mid week, and therefore a run of some sort must be put into place, as their quest for survival continues.

SET PIECES UNDOING OF COSTA C.F. Horadada "A" 8-2 Orihuela Costa F.C. After two weeks with out a game Costa travelled to local rivals and top of the league Horadada for a derby game. After getting a draw a month back against second placed Benejuzar and some good results on the back of that performance Costa had nothing to fear. Costa got off to the worse possible start and struggled to hold the ball for any amount of time due to great pressure and closing down by the home side, as well as terrible decision making and awful passing Costa found themselves 2 - 0 down after seven minutes. The home side looked the much sharper and fitter team in every department and constantly at will ripped Costa to shreds. The only time Costa looked to trouble the home goal keeper was from set pieces, and Glen Lawton was unlucky with his effort which hit the cross bar. Before half time Costa failed to deal with three efforts from set pieces two corners and a free kick and went into the interval 5 - 0 down. With the game gone the second half was all about pride and trying to improve and to give the Costa fans something to cheer. Three changes that saw Sam Broadway move to left midfield and Callum Gildea to right midfield and Cesar Augusto switch to left back, with the hope of trying to attack and test the untested home defence who had nothing to do in the first half. Within the first minute Costa conceded a sixth goal. Horadada

seemed to relax on the score line they had built up which then allowed Costa to start finding some passes and possession for the first time in the game and a great run from Cesar down the left won a corner for Costa and from this saw Charley Frost score from the set piece. Even though the second half performance was much better from the Costa players a further goal went the homes side's way on 59 mins and even with the goal of the game coming from a great strike from Sam Broadway to take the score to 7 - 2 on 61 minutes Horadada rounded of a convincing performance with an eighth goal on 64 mins and three points that will surely see them crowned the league champions this season. Costa now have two weeks off over the Easter period to dust themselves off and pick themselves before a home game against Almoradi.

We could blame the swirling wind I suppose and had the players, from both sides, recognized that the conditions dictated keeping the ball on the ground I might have had some simpathy, but they didn’t, as pass after pass, if that’s what they were, was just booted aimlessly up into the air. As a result the football was untidy with barely any football played or opportunity created by either side. Despite the relative league positions it was Albatera who took the early part of the game to Horadada. Ros in the Horadada goal, deputising for the injured Alex, could hardly reach halfway with his goal kicks and consequently a large part of the opening period was played in the Horadada half. But despite the territorial advantage, and the inordinate number of free kicks that the Reds gave away in dangerous positions, the visitors rarely troubled the stand in keeper. As the half progressed the home side came rather more into the game and Salinas had a header saved at point

blank range by Glabert in the Albatera goal on 40 minutes. The home side were beginning to get on top and from the very next attack, Cristian was brought down in the box by Rabodan’s clumsy challenge. The referee had no hesitation pointing to the spot and as the kick was put away with ease he blew for the half time interval. The Red’s had probably edged the half but had to work hard for their interval lead. We all thought that, with the wind at their backs, we might see the goals flow for Horadada in the 2nd period as they built up the goal difference over Almoradi, beaten earlier in the day by Santa Pola. There would be few better opportunities against a side struggling at the wrong end of the table but despite chances falling to Robles, Salinas and Alberto, they were unable to extend their advantage during the remainder of the game. In fact as the nerves began to tell toward the end the narrow margin clearly got to a lot of the players and in the end it was Horadada that had to hold on for the points. But with league leaders Almoradi going down by 2-1 to Santa Pola earlier in the day the single goal was enough to lift the Reds back to the top of the table with just 7 games of the season remaining. Easter Sunday no game followed by a trip to local rivals Thader on Sunday 7 April for an 11.30 am kick off.

MIL PALMERAS WEEKLY ROUNDUP Cox A 3 – 0 Mil Palmeras Prebens 2006 Sponsored by Fuegos La Fuente ... My Little heroes !!! A very even sided match today with a very unlucky result. The first half saw everybody sticking to their jobs and both sides where very even. Some very spectacular team work from Elliot, Makenna and Jack in defence today and some really great work from Dylan in goal, who’s progression, has come on in leaps and bounds. Thomas and Kevin worked really hard together up front and very unlucky not to score in the first half. The first half finished with a 1-0 lead to Cox with an unlucky rebound goal which the Toros could not keep out of the net. The Second half started the same, but you could tell that the Toros where starting to feel tired as we had no subs today, but they kept battling on and where very unlucky to see another 2 goals go in by Cox, but their heads never went down and Kevin nearly managed to bring the score to 1-3, but was unlucky to hit the post and Thomas also had a near goal, but today the luck was not on our side, even had our favourite ref today haha, but even he did not spoil the match. A great thank you to the kids for the amazing effort they put into the match today. Man of the match Dylan for some great saves today. What a great day of football I have had today - VAMOS TOROS.

Cox 0 v 8 CF Mil Palmeras Benjamines Sponsored By Sunshine FM 102.8 Top of the table Toros took on bottom of the table Cox and the difference showed from the start The Toros were under orders not to shot from range but to work the ball to create their chances on Cox's tiny pitch .10 mins in and everything was working great with CF Mil Palmeras 4 goals up .Cox never gave up and worked hard to stop the Toros attack and try and counter attack but Toros defense kept the concentration and never looked flustered .The Toros grabbed 2 more goal before half time the last being a well

worked goal . Luke passing to Palol Webb upfront who drag his defender over to the right of the pitch before knocking the ball back to Luca Webb who crossed the ball early for Davis Milton to tap the ball over the li...ne Second half the Toros struggled to create the same football as the first half trying to score more than create chances . With only 2 goals scored in the second half again the last was the best with Ben sprinting into the box from the right setting up Niomi Sheffield to calm slot the ball home .Final score 0-8 and although it's tight at the top of the table CF Mil Palmeras still sit at the top with a game in hand. Man of the Match Luca Webb Quality Passing . Well Done Guys !!

Hondon 4 v 1 CF Mil Palmeras Alevines Sponsored By Talleres J Martinez Ford Garage A solid performance from two evenly matched sides with the differnce coming down to 3 corners. First half neither side could take the advantage battling the wind and a ball that bounced like a basketball .CF Mil Palmeras worked hard going forward creating plenty of chances (including have a penalty saved ) but just counldn't get the ball over the line .At the back the Toros where very solid and it looked the first half was going to end 0-0 until Hondon scored in the last min . Second half and again both side were evenly matched in open play unfortunately the same couldn't be said from corners .Hondon converted 2 corners in the first 10 mis of the second half and grabbed another with just over 10 mins later .The Toros kept plugging away and again played some great football leading upto Lewis Long's goal in the last five mins of the match . Overall a great match with both sides working hard all over the pitch (even the ref commented on what a good game it was ) with 3 corners and less than 2 mins of football being the difference . Man of the Match Cai Harding Solid in defence . Well Done Guys

Orihuela Costa Paddy's Day Tournament Well done to all players (& parents) today. Again some really good football and a lot of hard work, you can all be proud. The Alevines kicked the morning off and got straight at CDM only losing through CDM scoring from a corner . Nicely warmed the oldest Toros came out fighting against San Miguel A going on to win with Agustins goal. Everyone worked hard and played some nice football during both matches. San Miguel went on to beat CDM 3-0 and go on to the semi final on goal difference. The Benjamines battered CDM 4-0 after a quality performance from the Toros. Granja Rocamora Beat CDM 1-0. Despite going 2-0 down the Toros kept at Granja playing the better football but could only find the net once to make it 2-1 to Granja .Granja went on to the Final . Pre-Bens lost their Semi Final to a strong CDM side but as usual never gave up the battle . Playing the 3º/4º playoff was a tough match again for the smallest Toros ,fighting to the end but just couldn't make the most of their chances . ALL in all a good morning of football with lots of positives to take from the day . http://www.cfmilpalmeras.co.uk/
