Continued from Page One events where the good work of the RBL can be shown off. It is at these events where most of the recruitment takes place, the fruits of which have now been rewarded by the honour of the McCrae Shield.

The McCrae Shield is awarded in memory of Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae who wrote the poem ‘In Flanders' Fields’ during a lull in the 2nd Battle of Ypres in 1915.

Serving as a Medical Officer with the first Canadian Army contingent, he was inspired to write the poem in pencil on a page torn from his despatch book, after presiding over the funeral of friend and fellow soldier Alexis Helmer, who died in the battle.

According to legend, fellow soldiers retrieved the poem after McCrae, initially unsatisfied

with his work, discarded it.

After being submitted anonymously the poem was first published on December 8 of that year in the London-based magazine Punch under the title "In Flanders' Fields."

Colonel McCrae died in May 1918. He was interred in a beautiful cemetery on rising ground above Wimereux, from where, on sunny days, the cliffs of Dover are easily visible.

Spain North was also honoured at the National Conference with the award of the Maurice Cup, awarded to the county/district which has shown the most progress and greatest efficiency during the past year. Runner-up was Berkshire & Vale of White Horse.

In existence for a little over 5 years, in May2013, the branch collections made during the Poppy Appeals, surpassed the

100,000 euro mark. An absolutely amazing sum which is yet another tribute to the dedication of the Branch Membership and the work that they do. Although the 2013 appeal has hardly got out of first gear the branch have already raised in excess of 5,000 euro during the current campaign.

After many months of preparation, the annual Children´s Holiday club, otherwise known as Vacation Bible School, took place two weeks ago at the International Christian Assembly (ICA) Torrevieja.

Like the previous two years, it was another huge success. Its success has been enhanced by changing the sessions from morning to early evening, thereby avoiding the intense summer heat; and increasing the time to 2 hours, allowing more time for the children to enjoy the activities.

Under the inspiring leadership of Mary Restrepo, the Club was run by volunteers, some of whom came all the way from America! More than 30 children from different countries, aged between 3 and 12 years old, attended the Club over the three-day period. The sessions were in Spanish, with English translators.

Many of the parents stayed with their non-Spanish or nonEnglish speaking children and proved to be very useful translators.

This year, the central theme is Safari Adventure. The church was turned into a `jungle safari´ with cut outs of colourful animals, grass and trees, and stones all strategically placed, a water scenery, an almost life size model of ´Josefa´, the giraffe, vines overhead and a cave through which the children had fun crawling in and out of. Only stopping for scrumptious treats and refreshments, the children enjoyed various activities such as action singing, listening to Bible stories from Pastor Rafael and learning Bible verses.

There were also crafts, games, face painting, safari related drama; the activities culminating into the water balloon game at a park nearby on the last day. All through these the children reacted with wonder, joy, laughter, a determination to do well in the games, a keenness to be rewarded with a sweet during questions and answers time, and the look of pride over their handiwork at crafts.

Even now, Mary is already planning on next year´s theme. For now though, we hope that the children who came will remember each animal´s face depicting the messages that God provides, God pardons and God rules.

THE ROAD TO NOWHERE

The Development Ministry has given approval to the opening of 3.5 kilometres of the newly widened N332 in Benidorm, the first stage opening this week between kilometres 144 and 145.2, near the Poniente area that serves Terra Mitica theme park. The second stage opening in the last week in July between marker posts 146 and 148.3, in the area of La Nucia.

This is all part of a 26 million euro scheme to improve the capacity of the main coastal road serving one of the principal holiday and tourism destinations on the Costa Blanca. In August, the road carries double the number of vehicles that it does in January, with 42,000 vehicle movements every day on this stretch of road.

Meanwhile, it has also been revealed that six of the eight major road extensions in the region have been paralysed due

to lack of money. A number of these projects were planned in 2008 with a completion date of 2012, prompting a number of officials to raise the questions as to what happened to the money budgeted for the projects.

Manuel Miñés, the director of Cámara de Contratistas de la Comunitat Valenciana, or CCCV, a private entity representing construction companies across the Valencia region, said, “There is no money for any new road or variant, such as those needed in Oliva, Gandia and Altea, which should be operational, but there is no money”. He also stated issues such as the N-340 between Peñíscola, Benicarló and Vinaròs, where this year the annuity is over. “This work should have been completed in December 2011, but is forecast to be prolonged until 2015, double the initial term”.

The same delays are apparent to the south of Elche, work awarded in 2010, which are again likely to

be delayed until 2015 at least, as well as many other projects, some which include the N-332, although none of those plans taking the bottleneck of Torrevieja into consideration. In the widening of the N-332 plans of 2009, the section around Torrevieja was ignored, some saying for environmental reasons, despite 36,369 vehicles per day being registered then, increasing year after year, with no obvious solution being presented.

Meanwhile, the road network has caused problems for neighbouring Orihuela, partly due to the residents now having to fund a massive fine for the land that was taken due to the widening of the road through the municipality, whilst other politicians are calling for a new motorway to be built connecting the coast to the city, carving up the countryside and no doubt costing a lot more money than would seemingly be available.

LOW COST PASSENGER NUMBERS STILL INCREASING Low cost airlines transported 2.1 million passengers to the Valencia region up until June, representing an increase of 7.9% over the same period last year, according to data released this week by the Institute of Tourism Studies.

As for individual airports, Alicante was the busiest for them, with 1.6 million passengers on low cost airlines, representing a growth of 11.9%, whilst in Valencia itself, there were 507,222 low cost passengers, a decrease of 2.8%.

Nationally, bargain flight providers carried a total of 15.4 million passengers through Spanish airports, representing an increase of 3.2% over the same period last year, showing how Alicante is still maintaining a significantly higher growth than the national average. Traditional priced airlines also increased their national passenger flow by 3.4% in the first six months, carrying 13.3 million passengers. Subsequently, low cost airlines accounted for 53.7% of all passenger traffic, compared to 46.3% by traditional carriers.

As for the geography of passengers, the UK and Germany are still leading the way for low cost airlines, with 32.9% and 18.9% of passengers

respectively, with the British market showing an increase of 4.3%, with more than five million passengers carried, but growth in the German market has seen a 10.1% increase, with 2.9 million passengers. Traditionally in third place, Italy saw a considerable drop of 15.7% in passengers to 1.4 million, allowing France to take third place with 7.1% of the total, 1.09 million passengers, 3.1% more than last year.

Despite Alicante´s popularity with low cost airlines, number one is Barcelona´s El Prat, with 3.2 million passengers, followed by Palma de Mallorca, with 2.5 million, and then Málaga, with 1.85 million passengers. On the other end of the growth scale, in the first half of the year, Madrid Barajas Airport experienced a drop of 18.6%, with 1.4 million passengers, fewer therefore than Alicante.

Other airports showing a significant increase though are on the island of Ibiza, where an increase of 15.8% has been recorded, with a total of 398 137 passengers, as well as Lanzarote, with a 9.9% increase to 470,139 passengers, and the airport of southern Tenerife increases by 4.4%, representing a total of 891,712 passengers.

AIRPORT NOW OFFICIALLY NAMED ‘ALICANTE-ELCHE’ The official state bulletin has now been issued, passing into the statutes, that from the 12th of July, 2013, the principal airport serving the Costa Blanca is called “Alicante-Elche” airport. AENA´s website has already reflected the change in their menus.

The renaming of the airport has been an ongoing process since October last year, with The Leader following it every step of the way, including recent campaigns for businesses and locals to donate for the purchase of the signs, as well as a campaign to name the airport El Altet, after the town in which the airport is situated.

We have also reported on the fact that most people actually called the airport “El Altet”, and that this was never the name of the facility, although there was a campaign along with this one for it to be adopted.

However, all things considered, there is now no turning back and the airport will forever officially be called “AlicanteElche”, apart from those who continue to ignore this and allow it to have the adopted name that the locals have grown to love.

AIRBUS A380 GETS FIRST SPANISH ROUTE

The prestigious Airbus A380, double-decker plane, will have its first permanent route from a Spanish airport from the 1st of February, 2014.

Flying on behalf of Emirates airline, the A380 will cover their daily Barcelona to Dubai service, a route that only started in July of last year, replacing the current Boeing 777-300ER aircraft currently being used, increasing the number of seats available by 44% with the Airbus offering 517 places.

According to Hubert Frach, Senior Vice President of Emirates Commercial Operations for the West, “Barcelona was one of the most successful destinations opened in 2012”, continuing, “Given the sustained growth, we believe that the time has come to announce the launch of our A380 service, which will continue to connect our customers in Spain and Dubai to key destinations in Australasia, the Indian subcontinent and the Far East”.

The increased capacity will also strengthen Barcelona markets, including 12 destinations served by the Emirates A380 in Australia, the Far East and the Middle East, which will allow passengers to enjoy an unparalleled experience in the biggest and most luxurious aircraft of its kind.

LOCAL NEWS R OUNDUP A group of environmental campaigners, taking part in the third Ecomarcha en Bici, visited various areas along the coast this week, passing through the Orhiuela Costa to Guardamar, and their cycle based march to raise awareness of ecologically sound fuel supplies, and their benefits over nuclear energy. The route started on Saturday at Águilas, in Murcia, and will end in Alconchel de la Estrella, Cuenca, on the 28th of July. The team took an extensive interest in the natural areas of Torrevieja, as well as the dunes of Guardamar, both of rich ecological and anthropological interest.

Following what they describe as an “increase in the number of incidents”, the Cruz Roja performed the mock rescue and resuscitation of both a 10 year old girl and a toddler on the beaches of the town of Guardamar. The initiative has been spreading through various beaches in Spain, partly to give the rescuers the chance to practice in a life threatening situation, show observers how basic CPR techniques can save lives and to raise awareness of the dangers of water during the summer.

Passengers using bus lines K, H and J in Elche, will be able to enjoy the benefits of free wi-fi connections, thanks to a network of 70 new access point antennas which have been installed in locations around the city, beaches and villages served by the public transport service. The aim of the initiative is to promote the use of public transport and make it more attractive, efficient and “to improve the user experience during the journey”. There is also an Android app available for those wishing to monitor service times and plan their routes.

The beaches of Guardamar are to have their walkways extended, in the Moncayo area, with a span that runs from playa Babilonia to Els Vivers. In addition, water tanks and pumping systems will be removed from public areas, making the whole area more appealing to tourists and beach goers alike, and making the infrastructure more accessible to workers in the event or repair or renewal.

Officers from the National Police in Alicante have arrested six people in connection with a spate of thefts of bicycles from the University of Alicante campus. The arrests were made in two separate occurrences, the first as a trio attempted to sell stolen bikes, the second when they caught another group red-handed trying to steal bikes. The six people would enter the campus pretending to be residents, enabling them to move around freely. One of the six is 17 years of age and will be handled by the youth courts.

HABANERA CONTEST TO PROMOTE SOCIAL NETWORKING

The 59th International Contest of Habanera and Polyphony, to be held from 22 to 28 July, will be the most technology advanced so far where, for the very first time, the Eras de la Sal will offer a free WIFI service to members of the cast and the audience throughout the duration of the entire competition.

The move is intended to encourage interaction and real-time feedback through social networks, with the vice president of the festival Cllr Luis Maria Pizana, inviting the entire audience to use the networks to upload their photos, onto twitter and facebook, in real time.

He said that the official Habaneras page (www.facebook.com/ certhabaneras) already has nearly 2,000 followers. In the coming days the organizers will incorporate a section for photographs which will be called 'I was in the Certamen ... and saw you', where it is hoped that those attending will upload their images and their impressions of the competition providing a far greater perception than has ever previously been possible.

The event will also be broadcast online, absolutely free of charge, thanks to an agreement between the Habanera and Television Board of Torrevieja. Thus, the seven concerts can be followed from anywhere in the world through the web-enabled link www.habaneras.org.

Pizana said that the competition website, www.habaneras.org has already begun to show a large increase in visitor traffic and it is expected to reach the highest levels during the days on which the competition is held. During the 2012 festival there were about 6,000 visitors from 60 different countries, on each of the eight evenings of the event. Almost four hundred media representatives are already registered to attend the concerts.

SAN ROQUE RENOVATION WORKS IN HAND Accompanied by various Municipal and ACUAMED officials, the mayor of Torrevieja, Eduardo Dolon, expressed his satisfaction with the progress being made as he toured the site of the Barrio San Roque refurbishment, which will see the replacement of over 50,000 square meters of pavements, the resurfacing of 115,000 square meters of unpaved roads and the installation of 380 LED lamps with a light capacity ten times greater than that formerly in place, benefitting from an energy saving of nearly 70%.

He said that the total investment totaled almost 5 million euro and would result in fully accessible pavements as well as a major improvement to the safety of all pedestrians particularly those in society who are disabled or elderly. The first phase of the works would be completed in less than two weeks time.

The second phase will then be carried out between September and October which will include the paving of the inner streets within a small area of the district.

The mayor said that the refurbishment of Barrio San Roque is part of the Land Restitution Plan intended as compensation for the con-

struction of the desalination plant in Torrevieja, which has been built at an investment of nearly 300 million euros. the Deputy Director of Engineering and Construction ACUAMED, Gabriela MaĂąueco, said that the Torrevieja desalination plant is now fully completed and its water production systems are currently being tested.

SUMMER CONCER T BY MUSICAL UNION TORREVEJENSE (UMT) On Sunday evening the Torrevieja Municipal Theatre hosted a Summer Concert performed by the Torrevieja Musical Union, and sponsored by the Provincial Council of Alicante.

The concert was attended by Mayor, Eduardo Dolon, accompanied by various members of the local council and the renowned musician Francisco Grau.

In the first part of the concert the UMT played two works directed by Jaime Belda Cantavella, the overture to "Rienzi" by Richard Wagner, to mark the birth of the composer, and the Symphonic Poem "Poema Montagnard" by Jan Van Der Roost.

The second part of the concert began with the presentation of the award to the winning composer of the tenth edition of the Music for a symphonic Band, entitled: Cirta (symphonic poem), Manuel Seco de Arpe.

After he read the comments from the Jury, Mayor Eduardo Dolon, presented the prize, worth 12,000 euros, to the composer, who also received a ship of salt, from the Jury Secretary, JosĂŠ Miguel Toro Both made brief speeches highlighting the importance of the prize, which is and incentive for composers, to compose new works and that enrich the musical heritage of our country.

As a finale to the concert the Musical union played the winning entry, a beautiful composition that evokes Arab influences. A set of melodious sounds that resemble a spectacular "Soundtrack of a film set in Africa." The audience showed their appreciation with a standing ovation.

‘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.

THROWING KNIVES AT MOTHER No, rest assured, this is not another harrowing tale of domestic violence, but a skilful performance by Dorian Ledda and his family who have been performing in Gran Canaria’s Sioux City for the last 28 years of so...

These were the opening words of an article that I wrote for a magazine several years ago, following a visit to Sioux City, which could best be described as a Wild West experience on an island in the Atlantic. It is the stuff that generations of boys and girls read about in their comic books and watched countless films of baddies being dealt instant justice by goodies. Sadly, Sioux City is no more, as it closed its gates for the last time a few days ago, for financial reasons, after 42 years of faithful service to the cowboy loving public on holiday in our island paradise.

The Cañon del Aguila (Eagle Canyon) offered a barren landscape and gave the perfect opportunity to recreate a pioneer Old West town based in the 1850s, with real buildings that are unique in Europe with a complete construction, and not just simple film set frontages. Sioux City was just the stuff to feed the imagination, relive childhood memories, as well as being a great place for a day out.

The town was constructed and used as a film set in 1972, at a cost of two million dollars, for major Hollywood Wild West films, such as Clint Eastwood’s ‘A Fistful of Dollars’, ‘A Few Dollars More’ and ‘Take a Long Hard Ride’. Gran Canaria’s desert-like landscape in the south of the island was just right for this kind of film in those days.

Once filmmaking was completed, the set became redundant and was opened to the public as a theme park with a difference.

Until last week, visitors would wander expectantly through the gates of this Wild West town and be instantly transported into a world of cowboys and Indians, bar brawls and bank hold-ups.

By Bar rie Mahoney

It is in this Wild West town that I interviewed Dorian Ledda and his family – mother, Katy and brothers Davide and Daniele, an Italian family from Turin, who presented breathtaking performances of knife throwing, lassoes, whips and horse riding.

Originally the Ledda family performed in Italian circuses, theatres and television before moving to Gran Canaria thirty years ago.

Indeed, Dorian’s father was throwing knives at his mother when she was pregnant with Dorian, and so throwing knives at mother seemed the most natural thing in the world to do!

Dorian’s brother, Daniele, also featured in the Guinness World Book of Records for jumping with a lasso, as well as appearing in a feature for the BBC. Dorian and his two brothers performed at Sioux City and Katy had knives, axes and flaming torches thrown at her. Indeed, watching the poor lady endure this torment from her sons with such a contented smile on her face made for a very unusual Sunday morning’s entertainment!

Although the knife throwing act was performed several times a day for the last thirty years, fortunately without an accident, I couldn’t help thinking that it would not be a good idea to have a row with your sons or let them throw knives at you after a night of partying!

Sadly, this fictional universe and unique recreational activity for tourists visiting the island, created as a labour of love by several generations of craftsmen and entertainers over four decades, has now come to an end. Like so many who know Sioux City well, I hope that a way will be found to open it once again to an adoring public, who can once again watch magnificent horses, can-can dancers in beautiful frilly costumes, cowboys falling from buildings, as well as Indians throwing knives at mother.

THE DISINTEGRATING ROA DS OF THE ORIHU ELA COSTA Anyone travelling around Orihuela Costa will have encountered the dreadful state of many of the roads serving our area. Residents and visitors alike will become accustomed to dodging the numerous potholes that seem to be springing up with even greater frequency not only on side roads but more importantly on main roads that link large urbanisations with the N332, San Miguel etc.

One can only speculate what overseas visitors must think when they first encounter the disintegrating thoroughfares for the first time.

A few years ago Torrevieja had a planned and co-ordinated programme to resurface many of the main roads serving the different part of the town. During this programme many of the roads were totally resurfaced and not just patched up, thus making them far more serviceable for the volume of traffic using them. However, unsurprisingly Orihuela Costa has never been earmarked for such complete road maintenance programme, especially as the politicians who make decisions over road maintenance never actually see or have to daily use the appalling roads running though the area. Any of the infrequent and rare visits the politicians based in Orihuela make to this area very nicely by pass the roads that criss-cross though the locality. On the odd occasion that any Orihuela based councillor deems to visit the coast they would travel by way of the inadequate CV95 and the N332, nicely missing the maze of potholes plaguing the residents of

Orihuela Costa.

Anyone visiting this area who travels on the road from Los Dolices to the motorway junction at La Zenia must think that they are visiting a third world country judged by the state of this road rather than being in a leading economy of the European Union. This road is a main access for the very large number of people living around the Villa Martin Golf complex and is also a direct route to San Miguel. The road between La Fuente and the roundabout at the bottom of El Galan is in a state of total disintegration, this is part of the main signposted road from the N332 at La Regina to San Miguel! Everyone living in Orihuela Costa will each have their own particular nightmare sections of potholed roads that they daily have to negotiate.

What a poor image the roads must give to tourist and prospective property buyers alike. These dreadfully maintained roads must make prospective property investors think twice about buying a home in this area. If they seriously consider the daily implications of navigating even a simple car journey through Orihuela Costa’s urbanisations in order to join the N332 they may well look to another municipality that properly maintains its roads for their property. If this happens the slow recovery in the building sector in the area could come to a halt.

Badly maintained roads are dangerous. Problems caused by traffic dodging large potholes endanger other road users and pedestrians.

They also cause serious problems to the steering, suspension, exhaust

ORIHUELA NEWS ROUNDUP The town hall of Orihuela is appealing for help to trace the owner of a four-wheeled drive vehicle that was seen driving on the beaches of the coast on Wednesday, causing considerable damage to wooden walkways and beach furniture. They hope to track down the owner of the vehicle and report them for the damage caused, in the hope of receiving compensation on behalf of the residents of the municipality who will have to pay the bill to repair the damage caused by the reckless driver.

There has been an increasing number of commercial operators dumping garden waste on the streets of Orihuela Costa, to which the town hall has asked that if anybody spots these, they take down the contact details or registration number of the vehicles, or try to take a photograph without entering into confrontation, so that the town hall can advise these people of the illegality of their actions.

The town hall also wants to remind residents of the need to contact them to receive advice as to the best time to place garden waste out for collection. With the new method of collection and recycling, the vehicles have considerably more availability to collect garden waste, but only if the trucks are made aware of where to pick up and when, a situation coordinated by the town hall.

Orihuela town hall has this week approved grants for 55 families, sharing a budget of 17,029 euro, which are intended to help those families struggling through the financial crisis to pay their monthly bills for electricity and water supplies, as well as towards phar-

macy costs. The grant will no doubt be another welcome relief to a number of families during these testing times.

Final approval has been granted for the construction of a pedestrian bridge over the N332 at La Regia. Bids have been collated for the contractor to be approved, with work banned by the roads department of the national government until September, preparation work to build the pieces of the structure will now commence, enabling the onsite work to start as soon as the summer restrictions are lifted.

Orihuela city has been awash with fiestas this week, as one of the biggest and most historic celebrations took place, all surrounding the celebration of the symbol of Orihuela, the Oriol. For more information on future events, make sure you see the cultural calendar in The Leader, as listen to Exite Radio, on 89.2 or 93.1fm, for the latest events on the day.

ORIHUELA POLICE CATCHING UP WITH CRIMINALS Local police in Orihuela arrested two men at the weekend, suspected of being responsible for several burglaries on the Orihuela Costa.

The arrests took place in the Barranco area, when officers saw a vehicle with three occupants driving in the opposite direction to the police vehicle. The police were aware, according to the testimony a number of witnesses that the occupants were suspected of committing a burglary on the Orihuela Costa, and so turned around to follow them, but the suspect vehicle fled at high speed.

There was a considerable risk to pedestrians as the car sped away, but the police gave chase, with the suspect vehicle eventually stopping and the occupants fleeing on foot.

The chase continued on foot into the Argenta I urbanisation, where the police managed to catch two of the men, the other managing to escape through a window of a house. Although they attempted to resist arrest, the police officers used “the minimum force necessary” to detain and handcuff them.

The two detainees are natives of Algeria, and are aged 45 and 49 year, were searched and found to be carrying a large screwdriver in the vehicle, along with gloves, three pairs of sunglasses, a laptop and cash.

In a separate incident, the police also arrested two more men of Algerian nationality, aged 34 and 37, accused of stealing a woman´s purse. The motive used was for one of the man to alert the driver to a problem with the vehicle, whilst the second then stole the purse which had been left on the passenger seat of the car.

Following a report of the crime to the police, surveillance was stepped up at the supermarket car park where the incident happened, and a few hours later the officers spotted the two men, matching the descriptions given, in a car which also matched that of the previous incident.

Having spotted the police, the occupants of the car fled on foot, but were chased by the police, who did catch up with them, but the police met with “strong resistance” to this arrest, by the two detainees kicking and punching officers, but they were still detained and arrested.

ORIHUELA TO STAGE COMPETITION FOR STRING ORCHESTRAS Antonia Moreno, the Orihuela Councillor of Culture, announced that the city will be holding the 1st International Competition for string orchestra on 26 April 2014 at the city’s Teatro Circo.

She was accompanied by the director and the president of the Orihuela City Orchestra (OCO), Sixto Herrero and Jorge Ballesta, respectively.

The Department of Culture has agreed to provide the City Orchestra with a grant of 10,000 euros with which to organize the event the objective of which is to strengthen the position of Orihuela in the National and International Music scenes.

The contest will have a first prize of 3,000 euros with 500 euros for each of the three losing finalists. It is understood that all four entries, which will have been previously selected by a jury, will be performed at the Teatro Circo on the final night.

All of the works must be previously unpublished and must fit the theme 'Orihuela – A Mediterranean Town'.

Herrera said that in addition to the competition in April, the City Orchestra are already preparing their Christmas concert, which will have a rich and varied program.

In February a group from Murcia will be invited to perform with the OCO comprising of with two flautists, a clarinet and a piano. The program will be largely Russian-French progressive music from the Romantic era to the early twentieth century.

TORREVIEJA COUNTERFEITED CRACKDOWN HAS BEGUN The mayor of Torrevieja, Eduardo Dolón, accompanied by the councillor recently appointed as being in charge of the police, Agustina Esteve, the Chief of Police Vicente Gutiérrez, and Lieutenant-Commander of the Guardia Civil, Juan Jesús Ruiz, all converged on Torrevieja´s Ecopark, to prove their commitment to cracking down on illegal street traders and the selling of counterfeit material throughout the summer.

The reason for their visit was without doubt to pose for photographs, but the aim was to highlight the recent decision to crack down on “lookie lookie” men in the city, by bearing witness to the destruction of a total of 10,291 confiscated counterfeited objects.

In total, there were 2,730 cd's or dvd's, 2,147 pairs of glasses, 1,884 items of clothing, 1,093 bags, 842 watches, 826 handbags, 429 caps, 190 belts and 150 watches. Eduardo Dolón reported that an assessment of the material seized would put the market value of the items at over 63,000 euro.

Dolón highlighted the excellent work being done by the Local Police and Guardia Civil to eradicate illegal street-hawking, following the decision taken at the last Security Council, to create special joint operations to address the problem. The mayor continued to state that Torrevieja traders themselves are very satisfied with the increase in numbers of police in the promenade area, which also offers greater security for citizens, which has been reflected in an increase in the sale of products in commercial establishments in the town.

This is of course not the first time this kind of action has been taken. We reported back in 2005 that former mayor, Pedro Hernandez Mateo, supervised the destruction of over 30,000

The mayor of Torrevieja, Eduardo Dolón, accompanied by councillor Agustina Esteve

items of fake goods that were seized in Torrevieja during the month of May that year. In 2011, the current mayor, Eduardo Dolón, witnessed the destruction of 17,866 objects.

It was in May 2012 that we reported, “A new crack team of police officers are patrolling the streets of Torrevieja, with the single goal of cracking down on fraud and illegal street sales”, with the creation of a new 20-strong task force, the G.R.O., or Grupo de Refuerzo Operativo, specifically to deal with the problem of illegal street trading, but between then and the last couple of weeks, the problem was spiralling out of control, starting with a reported lack of action from any police force or council department, leading to near riots in recent weeks.

The change in the person in charge of the police, which also calmed the internal problems their unions were highlighting between officers and the previous council lead, Eduardo Gil Rebollo, which had also spiralled into both a personal battle and resulted in times where there were no police on the streets, and the recent announcement of the Mayor that he too had seemingly had enough of the situation, have now shown that action has begun, which many hope will now continue to finally take action against those who are breaking the law in this way, a better solution to the problem than the only one suggested during the lull in direct action, the plan to fine those who purchase the goods, effectively criminalising the victims of crime.

OPPOSITION BREAKING BREATHALYSER BYPASS MYTHS results of a survey reveal this week claim that 72% DEMANDS CLOSURE The of drivers in the Valencia region are not fully aware of the limits of alcohol before driving. figure is 6 points above the national average. In addition, OF PINE FOREST TO This 30% of all drivers believe that there are simple ways to “con” the breathalyser test, and 2.6 million drivers, around 10% of all those TRAFFIC on the roads, admit to using this urban mythology to attempt to

Guardamar’s Socials Opposition group have branded the mayor’s partial opening of the pine forest in the municipality to traffic as completely irresponsible saying that it threatens the area’s important environmental heritage.

On the same day that they declared mayor Carmen Verdú’s implementation of paid parking on coastal streets as a complete and utter failure, they expressed their dismay and surprise at the partial opening to traffic of la calle Ingeniero Codorniu which leads through the pine forest.

Councillor Eric Gilabert said that the mayor had no legitimate authority to open the road and she was endangering one of the most important assets of the municipality where, for many years, there had only been pedestrian access to the area which had provided better conservation.

He also stated that all last week, as we approach the height of the holiday season, there were hundreds of empty parking lots in the new blue zone, Benamor and avenida de la Libertad, in the area close to the beach and that trade at the center had "totally collapsed".

conceal the fact that they have consumed alcohol before driving.

Considerably lower than the UK, and with proposals to lower the rate even further, the “BAC” represents the volume of alcohol in the blood and is measured in grams of alcohol per litre of blood (g / l) or milligrams per litre of exhaled air. The permitted maximum limits in Spain are 0.25 mg / l of exhaled air, with a lower limit of just 0.15 mg / l for novice and professionals such as bus, taxi or delivery drivers. Violations of this limit would constitute an “administrative” offence, resulting in the withdrawal of the license for 3 months and a fine of between 302 and 602 euro, the loss of points and higher insurance premiums. If the test shows 0.6 mg / l, then the offence is classified under the penal code as a criminal offense, which can also lead to imprisonment of 3 to 6 months or a monetary fine to pay for between 6 and 12 months or, where appropriate, community service work, and removing your license for between 1 and 4 years, in addition to higher fines and potential insurance black listing.

The DGT traffic department in Spain says that drink driving is one of the most serious problems for road safety in modern times. In fact, according to the National Institute of Toxicology, 35% of drivers killed in a car accident last year tested positive for alcohol, a statistic that equates to a driver being 9 times more likely to be involved in an accident than one who has consumed no alcohol.

The increase in check points for drivers has also resulted in an increase in the spreading of myths and beliefs that breathalyser test results can be changed by adopting simple practices, a belief that has also resulted in the number of drivers consuming alcohol intending to drive, believing that the only risk to themselves is a fine for failing the test.

Línea Drecta, in collaboration with the Spanish Foundation for Traffic Safety, FESIVAL, has produced a study which they hope will go some way to dispelling these myths, in the hope that all raising the awareness that these practices have no affect on the equipment, will result in fewer people playing Russian Roulette behind the wheel.

The report, “Myths and false beliefs about alcohol tests”, collates the data of nearly 1,260 interviews with drivers throughout the Spanish territory, and includes what those drivers incorrectly believe. IN fact, based on the study, around 8 million drivers believe tricks like drinking coffee or sucking coffee beans reduces the risk, as does waiting two hours after your last drink before you drive.

There are stranger beliefs too, such as drinking oil, eating toothpaste or grass, sucking lithium or copper coins, vomiting and slowly blowing into the breathalyzer will all result in the equipment, and highly trained operators, not knowing that the driver has consumed any alcohol. Of course the fact that your car may well be wrapped around a lamppost may be a bit of a giveaway.

According to the report, nearly half of Spanish drivers, a total of 44%, have heard of the existence of these tricks, with 73% blaming their friends for spreading the lies. More worrying for safety experts is the fact that about 2.6 million drivers, around 10%, admit to having used some of these methods to avoid detection. In addition, when asked if they considered it socially acceptable to use these deceptive practices if they did work, 2.5 million drivers, around 9%, believe that it is.

It is also notable that the profile of the driver more likely to believe and fall for these myths is male, between the age of 18 and 29, who would also use modern technology such as the internet, social networks and WhatsApp to avoid alcohol checkpoints and, of more concern, acknowledges having driven under the influence alcohol.

Based on the most popular myths, the group did set about trying to prove, one way or another, if they may actually work, to which the conclusion was no, having tested them on a variety of men and women, forced to consume beer wine and spirits.

The general consensus of drivers is that using alcohol check points to combat accidents caused by other drivers is a good thing, with 16% questioning their effectiveness, whereas in the Valencia region, 67% of drivers believe that the check points are nothing more than a money making scheme, with 45% of drivers claiming that too many are conducted.

WALKWAY TO LINK LA MANGA AND SAN JAVIER The San Javier Councillor for Public Services and Regional Deputy José Miguel Luengo submitted a motion last week to conduct a study into the construction of a pedestrian walkway linking the north of La Manga with the municipality of San Pedro del Pinatar, He said that the walkway would be a mile long and that it would improve even further the environmental value of the area which is visited daily by hundreds of people for both the value of its landscape and migratory bird watching.

Adding that it would involve a major cost it would nevertheless provide an important boost to the area allowing the public to learn more about this valuable landscape by promoting ecotourism and enabling additional environmental research.

He said that the next step would be to meet with other political groups in the assembly, with environmental groups and activists so that he could explain the project in detail. If it goes ahead it could then be completed by next summer.

It would take the form of a wooden pedestrian or minimal impact structure as currently exists over a number of lakes or other parks in the region.

A SMILE MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE The very thought can spread fear into the bravest of people, but the reason a visit to the dentist touches a nerve, in a metaphoric sense, rather than literal, is usually without justification.

In fact, a recent survey revealed that 29% of Brits fear the dentist, with a slightly higher proportion being ladies at 33% compared to 25% of men (although many may not have admitted to it of course). But we often fear things we don´t know or don´t understand.

Incredibly, the same survey reveals that 36% of people often forget to brush twice a day, and 2% say they use their finger rather than a toothbrush!

Anyway, the good news is that Dentists are not to be feared, nor are dental surgeries, as the modern dentist thrives from within a warm and welcoming environment and with the most modern precision equipment, that as soon as you walk into a modern dentist´s office, you feel comfortable, welcome and your fears are eased.

The Gerhard Nagel clinic at La Zenia is one such place. Having been established on the Costa Blanca since 1997, and one of the first practices in the country to offer high quality cosmetic dentistry, the experience and knowledge of the team behind the surgery has grown since their initial opening, keeping up to date with the most modern practices and equipment, to ensure that they have always maintained the highest standards of dental care available, with the overall aim of looking after your oral wellbeing, whether it be cosmetic or restorative.

Their expertise in building smiles changes lives; quite literally, as they use their artistic

approach to fully assess every individual mouth, from every conceivable angle, to ensure that any work carried out fits your own facial features.

The team at Gerhard Nagel speak a host of languages, including English, Spanish and German, which has enabled them to build up a big international clientele. Isabel, will help you arrange an appointment. If anyone has an emergency, the staff will do their utmost to fit you in that day. The clinic has its own laboratory, so work such as repairs to dentures or moulding of teeth, are done very quickly.

They also have a panoramic X-ray machine, which enables them to get a very accurate picture of your whole mouth.

The clinic is used to dealing with holiday makers too, and will do fillings and bridges etc.

at the drop of a hat. Specialist services, such as teeth whitening or cosmetic surgery, are also available. Children are welcome to come for check ups and pain free treatment. The clinic prides itself on prompt service. No more long waits for something you need now.

Even if you have an absolute phobia about visiting the dentist, and just cannot bring yourself to settle down in the chair, your treatment can be carried out with the assistance of a qualified anaesthetist, who will knock you out completely, to enable the dentist to do the necessary work. The anaesthetist will remain present throughout the whole operation.

When you come to, you will be ready to go home.

Booking is recommended and the clinic is normally open between 9am to 3pm. For information or to make a booking, phone 966 73 0058 or 607 821 433.

FLY WITH THE EAGLE PATROL As part of the 125th anniversary celebrations of the town a Spanish Air force flight simulator is to be sited opposite the Yacht Club of Santiago de la Ribera on both the 24 and 25 July. It is being provided courtesy of the General Air Academy The simulator allows its users to feel at first hand the sensations experienced by Eagle Patrol pilots who train at the local base and it’s appearance will coincide with an Eagle Patrol exercise which will be visible from the beaches of Santiago de la Ribera on the morning of the 24th.

Up to 700 people will be able to try out the simulator on each day, to experience the stunts and thrills as a member of an aerobatics team aboard a CASA C-101 aircraft during an air show.

Without getting off the ground, the capsule can accommodate up to 14 people in ergonomically designed seats with an unobstructed view of a large screen that displays visual images associated with the movement of the device.

A spokesman said that "the sensations experienced by people who are lucky to access the Flight Simulator, are the closest experience to what happens at an aerobatic display as a member of an Air Force team."

The first appearance of this simulator, which has its origins in aerospace simulation, took place on 30 May, 2010 in Badajoz, on the occasion of the celebration of Armed Forces Day. In that year it attended more than 30 events, a number that it exceeded in 2011 and 2012 with a further 65.

CULTURE AND TOURISM IN CARTAGENA

The mayor of Cartagena, Pilar Barreiro, visited the ancient Castillitos and coastal batteries this week, to firm up his campaign to try and get the area voted as one of the best corners of Spain, to be included in the next annual Repsol Guide. The aim is to showcase the area of both touristic and cultural value, and has urged supporters to vote via the website, elmejorrincon.guiarepsol.com, for these batteries that were built around 1930 in order to protect coastal city entrance.

The Fundación Repsol has announced that they are to contribute 60,000 euro to the Cartagena Naval Museum, to go towards the restoration of the Peral Submarine. This money will be used towards the recovery efforts of the submersible hull, which, from September will be on display to the public once again in a new hall located in the centre of the old boiler maker´s workshop of the centre, in preparation for the 125th anniversary celebrations.

YOUR CHANCE TO CHANGE LOCAL RADIO As one of only a small handful of radio stations still in the running to be awarded one of the new licences to broadcast, we have given a commitment that we will do everything possible to ensure that we give you the content on radio that you want.

Therefore, we have devised a series of questionnaires that we hope you will spend a few minutes to fill in, so we can get an idea as to what you want, what you expect and what you would rather not listen to on radio. However, this campaign is not about any particular radio station, presenter, DJ or musical genre, this is about us getting a feel of your opinions on radio in general, whether you are in Spain or elsewhere, and whether you listen to the radio or not.

In the first one, the questions are in sections that will give us an overview of who you are and what you do, as well as your musical tastes and how you listen to music or the radio. We also ask you some direct questions, such as which radio station is your favourite right now and why, because, even though that station might not be around after too long, the fact you like it can tell us the sort of style of radio that works for you.

There is no question that once the licenses are issued, most of the ex-pat stations, and others too, will be closed down, which is why we want to make sure that we are prepared to serve you long beyond that time, by giving you the radio you want, for now and the future.

We ask you pay a little attention to the questions, just to make sure you understand what we are asking. For example, if there is a grading from 1 to 10, then the higher the number you tick, the greater the score you give it, so, if you classical is your

favourite type of music, tick the box under “10”, whereas if you really, really don´t like country, for example, tick the box under “1”.

Other than the grading system, the rest of the questions are either a tick for a choice, or an opinion, or a one or two word answer. Completing the form is important to us so that we can compare answers, but if you want to add more information, please feel free to do, on a separate piece of paper.

Once completed, add your contact details, because at the end of the campaign in autumn, we will be holding a prize draw, selecting a number of lucky winners for some great prizes. You might also be lucky enough to be pulled out of the hat to win one of our exclusive Exite Radio mugs, which we will give away each week. But, if you wish to remain anonymous, that´s okay too, just complete the details and leave your name and address off the form. We don´t mind, it is the information that´s important to us. The questionnaire is also available to download and print from the Exite Radio website, www.exiteradio.com/questions.

Finally, you can drop your completed forms into The Leader offices in La Zenia, where the data will be processed during the next couple of months, and you really can do your bit to change the way radio is delivered... To you, FOR YOU.

MUSIC TO YOUR EARS EASIER LICENSING A BOOST TO ONLINE MUSIC Music lovers could soon enjoy a wider range of tunes to access online thanks to new rules approved by the EP's legal affairs committee. The proposal would make it easier for online music service providers to get licences and for musicians to get their royalties quicker.

It should also ensure that everyone can benefit from a wide range of services regardless of the EU country they live in. Marielle Gallo is the French member of the EPP group in charge of steering it through EP. She states that the EU is trying to achieve a single digital market and this is one of the steps that needs to be taken in order to ensure equal access to culture for all European citizens through the collective management companies. There is now in place a truly fine-tuned regulatory system of transparency and governance.

By making licensing for different countries easier for online music, the proposal will benefit everyone. New online services will be able to enter the market more easily to avoid letting iTunes corner all of the market. It’s also a way to encourage initiatives such as Spotify. The aim of the directive is a true digital single market that is able to broadcast the cultural goods.

The legal offering of online music will become very accessible for all European citizens.

Becoming easier to access, the offer of legal music will also become cheaper.

The main objective of the directive is to take care of artists by making sure that their work is better compensated. They will also have total control over the collected rights for their accounts, over the management fees of the collecting societies, over investments and they will be at the heart of decision-making.

STORIES AND CUSTOMS - LOOK AT LIMA

An exhibition of photographs entitled ‘Look at Lima’ was opened by Morgana Vargas Llosa and Jaime Travezán as part of La Mar de Músicas in Cartagena last week.

The exhibition is a colorful photographic journey that reproduces the most exotic and familiar features of the Peruvian capital. Until a few days ago the exhibition was standing in the centre of New York, in Times Square.

The exhibition will be in Cartagena from July 15 to August 31 at the Palacio Consistorial after which it will depart on a tour of European museums.

"Look at Lima" features images that, as well as recording a moment in time, tell many stories of Peruvian customs and tradition. There are 50 pictures of different families from Lima that reflect the many ways of society in which they live, work, and socialise.

Included amongst the photographs are families of Arab origin, Japanese, Italian, several provinces, all residents of this multi ethnic city.

The 50 families portrayed are anonymous. They ranged from distant cousins, neighbors from childhood, owners of a Chinese restaurant, as well as the neighborhood tailor and fashion designer. All of the families pictured opened their doors to one or other of the photographers. They chose their most beloved family situation depicting their beliefs and their dreams, as well as who and exactly what they are.

The photographers say that Lima has always been a city of opportunity for those willing to work hard. It is home to migrants from Italy, China, Japan, the Middle East, Spain, France Germany who’s national customs and beliefs have been enriching the city for 478 years.

More information on the exhibition can be found at www.lamardemusicas.com

UPS AND DOWNS OF HIGH SPEED TRAINS In light of the successful launch and operation of the high speed train between Madrid and Alicante, train operator RENFE has added an additional two trains each way to the weekend schedule, providing an additional 1,460 seats.

In addition to that, the company has also said that they will be extending their special launch offers, with 50% off normal ticket prices, until the end of the summer.

In the first month of operations, the high speed train between Alicante and Madrid has carried a record 150,000 passengers, 40% more than was carried by the traditional service on the same route. Despite special offers of 50% discount on tickets, RENFE´s revenues have actually increased by 55% over the route for the month, compared to the same time last year, using the normal service pattern. The current estimate is that the service will carry up to 2 million passengers per year by the end of the first annum.

But as popularity can be a curse, good intentions may have caused a problem for train operator RENFE this week, when they changed one of the trains operating on the Madrid to Alicante route to one with higher capacity, it would appear that

nobody told the passenger seat reservation system, resulting in 663 passengers on board a Madrid bound service suffering a delay whilst staff tried to sit everybody down in 730 seat, Talgo S-112, rather than the scheduled Almston S-100.

Staff worked to minimise disruption, with many passengers refusing to move to their correct seat, others then trying to find somewhere more suitable to spend the next two and a half hours, but as a result of the 19 minute delay to the service, RENFE has offered a 50% refund to passengers who were delayed on this service.

The next day, another 12 coach train had problems of its own, with one of the carriages suffering a breakdown in the air conditioning, which meant that RENFE gave 28 passengers who were sat in that vehicle a 100% refund, due to their “lack of comfort”.

ELECTRICITY REFORM BRINGS MORE PRICE INCREASES

www.yourlocalnewspaper.info

21

PROPERTY SALES SHOWING CLEAR GROWTH

Soraya Sáenz de Santamaría

Friday saw the Spanish government explaining the new electricity reforms. One of the principle reasons, according to the Vice President of the Government, Soraya Sáenz de Santamaría, sought to tackle the 26 billion euro tariff deficit, since 2005, without affecting consumers.

In preparation for an obvious increase anticipated by consumer groups, the government did say that without these reforms, they would have to raise the price by a staggering 42%.

In summing up, Vice President said, “This government has stability and political initiative in carrying out a reform that no one has dared to do previously, that has been needed for years. This government has had the courage to take this reform, but it is not easy”.

The conclusion being that the reform that will “not affect consumers”, will mean yet another rise to an already struggling population, with an additional 3.2%, on top of the 1% already added on the 1st of July, with the average bill now increasing by almost 4 euro per month.

The sale of homes to foreigners is still recovering after the recent slump, with the Alicante area leading the way in Spain, with 2,485 units sold in the first quarter, a considerable increase on the second places province of Málaga, where 992 properties were sold.

There had been concerns over the implementation of the new Energy Performance certificate, but this does not seem to have posed an actual problem in terms of property sales, as the numbers are consistent with the anticipated growth of the market.

Perhaps not surprisingly, the reason for the increase on the Costa Blanca has been put down to the price, with the average sale being valued at

108,328 to foreign buyers, a saving of 45,000 euro on the 153,727 average cost in 2010.

There is clear evidence that the gap in the market in terms of savings is closing and starting to turn, and with 81% of all property sales in the area being attributed to foreign buyers, the British, German, Scandinavian, Russian and Algerian markets are still growing steadily.

A total of 8,940 homes were sold in the region during the first three months of this year, of which 2,861 were acquired by foreigners, and of these, 2,485 were sold in the province of Alicante. In the period between 2010 and 2012, 2,127 homes were in Torrevieja, whereas 1,888 were in Orihuela, with the growth being clear in both these internationally diverse areas

EVA GUERRERO CROWNED NATIONAL CHAMPION

There was a historic outcome to the XXXVIII edition of the Spain Infantil Tennis Championship played on the tennis courts of the Club Parayas de Santander when Eva Guerrero of Torrevieja Tennis Club was proclaimed as National Champion.

Eva confirmed his status as top seed, by going through the entire competition without dropping a set with victories in the quarter finals against Paula Avila Arias, the winner of the Babolat Cup ( 6-4, 61), and in the semifinals the Girona player Marina Bassols, (6-4, 6-4). In the final she met second seed Noelia Bouzo from Villareal tennis Club who she beat comfortable 6-4, 6-3 to pick up the National crown.

Then to compound her success, together with her

quarter final opponent, Paula Avila Arias, Eva went on to pick up the doubles title with victory agains the young Valencia pair of Noelia Bouzo and Carla Pons 6-4, 6-0.

Having already won the national Cadet Championship in Gandia earlier this season her national success confirmed Eva as one of the brightest young talents in Spanish tennis for many years.

Guerrero has also achieved individual semifinal positions in international tournaments in Bolton and Maia in Portugal, as well as reaching the quarterfinals in Rome, and the last eight in the "Les Petits As "in Tarbes, France, results that have elevated her into Europe’s top ten players within her age group.

CABO DE PALOS CROSS EXPECTED TO ATTRACT 2000 ATHLETES

San Javier’s Councillor for Sports, Carlos Albaladejo and the Mayor of La Manga pedania, Rosa Dos Santos, were at the ceremony last week to announce the V Cabo de Palos Cross which will be held on August 3 from the port of Cabo de Palos covering a distance of 5 km.

The race expects to draw in excess of 2,000 runners of all ages and is organized by Athletics Club of La Manga in collaboration with the municipalities of Cartagena and San Javier and the sponsorship of a number

of different organizations.

The race will count toward scoring in the Running Circuit Challenge of the Athletics Federation of the Region of Murcia. It will start at 7pm from the Paseo del Puerto which will also be the finish point. There will be a total of 10 categories from Benjamin Veterans A, B, C and D, and Disabled. The route will run along the Paseo del Puerto, Cala Flores, Paseo de Levante beach, the Lighthouse car park, along the cliff, the Paseo de la Barra and Paseo del

Puerto.

The Councillor for Sports of San Javier said how the race had increased in popularity in just short time, so much so that it has now become one of the most important in the regional calendar, attracting more and more entries from all over the region every year.

The event combines sports, tourism as well as friendship and cooperation within the community with the proceeds from the race being equally divided between three major organizations in the region: the Association of People with Downs Syndrome (ASID Cartagena), the Nursing Home of the Sisters of the Poor, Cartagena and the Pablo Ugarte Association (APU) of San Javier.

SUMMER PADEL TOURNY AT CDM ORIHUELA COSTA Last weekend saw the first Padel Tournament of the summer held at the Municipal Sports Centre of Orihuela Costa's first Summer Paddle Tournament.

A total of 12 pairs took part in the tournament which began on Saturday with the group stage (4 groups of 3 teams). The following day, Sunday saw the competition semifinals and finals.

In the first semifinal TCuida Torrevieja were drawn against Harvey and David, going down in two sets 6-3 / 6-3. The second semifinal saw the Brothers Vilella beat Kevin and Paul, 6-1 / 6-2.

The final was a much more thrilling encounter eventually going to three sets with the pairing of Harvey and David, composed of Javier Escudero Martinez and David Gutiérrez García, beating the Brothers Vilella, Cristian Vilella Amoros and Ismael Vilella Amoros 3-6 / 7-5 / 7-6 to become tournament champions.

CDM Orihuela Costa wish to acknowledge the competition sponsor, Atmósfera Sport Future Pilar de la Horadada.

CAUGHT WITH THEIR FLIPPERS ON Three swimmers were each handed out fines of 750 euros last week for going out spearfishing after sunset. They were arrested at Cala de la Zorra for the offence described as a safety violation against municipal beaches and the coastline.

The fines are said to be a deterrent against the increasing number of night divers using the local shoreline, especially during the summer. The activity seems to be particularly popular in the two hours following sunset when marine life is said to be in full swing. Especially in cliffs and rocky areas, where many species hide in small cracks and crevices during the day and take advantage of the night to feed.

Although night diving is allowed in some areas, in areas near ports or marine reserves, in view of the special safety requirements, potential divers are required to register their activities with the competent authority.

Mayor Eduardo Dolon (PP) has signed several decrees dealing with such fines imposed by the

Civil Guard in the municipality which has just published a detailed guide to the best sites for scuba diving and snorkeling in the region.

Carp-R-Us Club News This weeks match was the last in the Clubs hard fought Summer series of matches. It took place on the top end of the Eden canal in Guardamar. At this point please can I thank the members that finished clearing swims last Monday in all that heat ,Steve-Barry-Pete-Johnthanks lads.

The results from the match were as follows: 1st Steve Collins, 2nd Geoff Tempest, 3rd Ian Air and in 4th place Roy Buttress.

So the eventual winner of the series was Steve Collins with 96 points, followed by Dennis Pick with 93 points and in third place was Barry Homer with 88points.

The next of the Clubs matches will be fished on the 25th of July on the Embalse del Argos near to Calasparra in the Province of Murcia. Meet on the bank at 7.55am for the draw at 8.00, we will fish 9.00 to 3.00pm.

The next of the Clubs Quiz nights will be on Tuesday the 30th of July, starting at 7.30pm. The cost of entry to this fun Quiz is just 1€ per person and all are welcome to attend. Teams of up to 6 or less can take part.

The next Club meeting will not be until Sunday the 4th of August, with the Committee at 10.00 followed by the General meeting at 11.00am.

The Clubs home is at the Bar El Alto La Dolores, which can be found just off the roundabout on the N332 near to the REPSOL garage and between La Mata and Guardamar.

IN THE BUNKER WITH MICK THE GRIP

FEW GOLFING HOTELS are as rich in history as Greywalls, an elegant Edwardian country house situated on the edge of Muirfield’s links, overlooking the 9th and 18th greens and the Firth of Forth.

It was frequented by King Edward VII, and Open champions such as Watson, Palmer and Nicklaus have traditionally stayed there.

Designed in 1901 by Sir Edwin Lutyens as a “dignified holiday home,” Greywalls became a hotel in 1948, and is a treasure trove of memorabilia.

Pictures and signatures of golfing greats adorn the walls of the little bar where many an Open Champion’s celebration toast has been made. The

Open contenders and their entourage tend to rent houses in the area now, so the new Open champion, whoever he turns out to be, will probably not be raising the claret jug at Greywalls this weekend, but he could pop in for a wee dram.

FIFTY YEARS AGO Cuba’s Fidel Castro and Che Guevara staged a publicity stunt game of golf that allegedly poked fun at U.S. president Dwight Eisenhower, who two years earlier had declined meeting the new Cuban leader. Castro, who was known to be a notoriously bad loser, lost the match.

Shortly afterwards he ordered all the golf courses on Cuba to be closed down, calling the game elit-

ist. Now several luxury golf resorts are being planned, with the aim of bringing much needed revenue to the cash strapped island. It could also be because Castro’s son Antonio is a pretty fair golfer, and won the Montecristo Cup held there in April.

THE BRITISH Open Champion of 1931, Tommy Armour “The Silver Scot” was born in Edinburgh in 1894. He lost his sight to a mustard gas explosion in WW1, and had a metal plate inserted in his head. During his convalescence, he regained the sight of his right eye, and was able once more to play his beloved golf. Emigrating to the United States, he became a professional golfer in 1924, and might have been known as one of the greatest ever golfers had the yips not affected him in the prime of his career; he is in fact credited with creating the term “Yips” at the 1927 Shawnee Open, in which he carded a 23 on the par?five 17th hole, a dubious single?hole achievement that has never been beaten. He still managed to win the U.S. Open in 1927 and the PGA Championship in 1930.

Armour would become one of the leading instructors of his generation once his competition days were over. In his spare time he was a master bridge player, and classical violinist (not bad with one eye!) His grandson, Tommy Armour III, is a twotime winner on the PGA Tour. Grandad would have been proud.

CALLAWAY has unveiled its new FT Optiforce driver, with two clubhead variations. The driver

offers loft and lie adjustability (a first from Callaway.) The OptiFit hosel allows players to adjust the driver’s loft 1 degree down or 1 or 2 degrees up. The loft setting helps golfers adjust their launch angle and amount of backspin, while the lie setting, with neutral or draw, will help golfers adjust side angle and sidespin.

Combined with the differences in the 440cc and 460cc heads, golfers of all abilities can use the simple adjustability solution to find their optimal launch conditions and ball flight.

Callaway claim the Ft Optiforce is the fastest and most aerodynamically efficient driver they have produced. It has been measured with 23 percent less drag than a conventionally shaped driver.

DONALD TRUMP, commenting on the Industrial Wind Farm the Scottish Government is proposing to construct 1.1/2 miles offshore from his Golf Resort near Aberdeen: “Each turbine will be 65 metres high and because it’s a test site they will be different colours. It will look like a junkyard. Alex Salmond says wind farms encourage tourism, which shows the level of insanity we’re dealing with here. I will sue him to hell and back if necessary.” And they were such good pals.

Until next time: Happy Golfing.

HUB SPORTS BAR GOLF SOCIETY VILLAMARTIN

By Paul Durrant Roda last week entertained the happy golfers of the Hub (Villamartin) for yet another event featuring their annual Grand Prix. The competition currently has four of last season´s top five sitting at the top of the table. Alison Scammell has nudged out Hub proprietor Cam McHardy for fifth spot after 7 of the 12 events available, with only 8 best scores to count ensuring a very close finish at the top.

A new face joined the Hubbers for her very first outing on an 18 hole course, hairdresser Cheryl McGlynn. She acquitted herself well on the generous Roda fairways accompanied by new dad Simon Williams. Although not figuring in the final placings, Cheryl is now a committed Hubber looking forward to the society next event at Saurines La Torre.

Some fine, almost unbelievable, chipping and putting from Alan Harvey, gained several usually unattainable points to elevate himself to the top of the leader board and a deserved first place. Just two points separated the top three, with Harvey creeping into the Grand Prix top ten with his well earned 15 points.

Results PJ´s Rent a Car best guest: 2nd Paul Forbes 34 pts, 1st Kenny McPherson 36 pts.

N.T.P: Hole 7 John Eyre, Hole 11 Simon Williams, Hole 15 Kenny McPherson Grand Prix: 3rd Paul Durrant 31 pts, 2nd Shaun Smith 32 pts, 1st Alan Harvey 33 pts.

LO CRISPIN GOLF SOCIETY AT LORCA It looks as if this away event will become a custom in future years as the two days were much enjoyed by golfers and partners alike. Whilst the golfers enjoy the challenging course the ladies enjoyed the spa at the hotel and shopping in Lorca although some did get caught in a thunder storm. The format for the day was a Texas Scramble, which is always enjoyable but especially so at Lorca with the long carries over the many ravines and ditches. We were helped along the way by Mick the Grip who kindly sponsored the NTPs, always a pleasure Mick.

Our thanks to Ignacio De Semancas for his assistance at the course and helping with the shot gun start. After a hot and enjoyable day we savoured a cool beer whilst the prize presentation was given by David Dodd, which went something like this: 1st team: Mick Reeves, Malcolm Morrison, Gordon Cobb, David Dodd

2nd team: Peter Savidge, Gail Coultate, Andy Ayres, Scott Blair 3rd team: Colin Ranson, Padraig O,Brien, Danny McErlean, Geoff Dowsett NTPs Stan Earle, Danny McErlean, and someone called G. Coultate got 2. There were 4 2s with one team getting two.

After the presentation back to the hotel to get ready for the evening meal and a get together. From all who went on this trip we would like to thank David and Joan Dodd who organised the event from start to finish. David is stepping down at the end of the year from his position as Social Secretary, he will be a hard act to follow. Finally, a team photograph was taken overlooking the course and is showing below, I can only say that if you want a good front row for your rugby team don't ring me. http://sites.google.com/site/locrispingolf/

TMGS AT LAS COLINAS It was hot and sultry and that was not just the barmaid that served the morning coffee but the weather too. However, we shouldn’t complain; but we do, it is our nature.

The course today was, shall we say, slightly indifferent and there were some bare spots on the fairways that needed avoiding, but the golf was enjoyed as was the weather, although some were seen to be wilting as the day went on.

Talking of wilting, it was Les Wilton that took the 4th spot in the Silver Division with 31 points and it was a trio a 35 pointers that sorted out the next three placing’s, decided on count-backs and in 3rd place was Ray Ewins who was beaten by Per Skarnes who in turn lost the top slot to the ‘old stager’ George Smith.

The Gold Division didn’t score much better and claiming 4th place was Paula Hagart on 32 points, edged out by Alan Rixson on 33 with Bill Starkey claiming the runners-up slot with 34 points and finally, John “I got new clubs” Eyre with 35 points.

The Best Visitor of the day was another “waif and stray” from the Bog Road pub, John O’Connell with 26 points.

Four NTP’s were won by Steve Higgins, Les Wilton, George Chapman and Nev Hutchins.

SUDOKU SOLUTION BENIJOFAR GOLF SOCIETY AT FONT DE LLOP These are the months that most golfers in Spain dread. Blazing temperatures, no breeze, the ball won’t stop on the green and you come off the course wondering, why the hell do i subject myself to this torture !

That is a description of how a fair few of our members felt after the July outing to Font de Llop on a baking hot day, playing a course surrounded by hills where the anticipated breeze never arrived in time.

The condition of the course was very good and the cutting back of all the “where to lose your ball areas” is starting to show as the game there now seems to be played at a faster pace than previously. The greens were good but seemed difficult for most players to judge the pace and only one player on the day broke par for his round.

We played nearest the pins on all five of the par 3 holes which were sponsored by John Sanchez and the “gingerbread man” bar and the winners of theses were Stuart Tosh on the third and Mike Bennett on the eighth. On the back nine, the winners were John Kemp on the twelth, Dave Smith on the sixteenth and Ian Falkner on the seventeenth hole who all won meal vouchers.

The best score on the par three’s was won by Mike Bennett with eleven points and the par five winner was Graham Pattenden also with eleven points and both won meal vouchers donated by “Quesada fish and chips”.

In the main Stableford event , half of the players managed to score in the low thirties which meant handicaps coming into play to decide places. In third place was Ian Falkner with thirty three points who lost out to Andy Trefry with the same points by virtue of having a higher handicap.

The overall winner on the day and the only player to break par was Steve Edwards with thirty eight points who always seems to play well on this course and gets a handicap reduction to go with his prize.

All the players returned to Sams bar in Quesada where Maureen laid on food after the event and where the prizes were presented.

August meeting will be played at Roda Golf on the 21st.

Anybody interested in playing on our society day can contact John Kemp on 605 195 056 or at benijofargolf@hotmail.com

‘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.

THE BRITISH OPEN CHAMPIONSHIP By the time you read this article the winner of this years British Open Championship at Muirfield will have been crowned. All of the players can expect a tough test of their abilities and patience with waist high rough and hard, fast fairways with plenty of unfair bounces along the way. To win this major you not only need extreme talent and the best of short games but on links courses much depends on the ‘draw’ which can in effect put players out of contention before they start as weather conditions change with the tide from morning to afternoon. Very strangely the American golfers seem to fair well in conditions where the ‘bump and run’ and ‘Texas wedge’ are the order of the day and you only have to look at Ben Curtis and Todd Hamilton (previous winners) as examples of this and older statesmen such as Tom Watson and Greg Norman coming close in recent years, What of the European challenge, will Lee Westwood finally have a hot putter and can Justin Rose repeat his US Open victory.

Rory McIlroy continues to fail to come to terms with his new equipment so don’t expect him to appear near the top of the leader board.

Perhaps one of our Spanish hero’s such as Sergio Garcia can win the major his talent deserves. Whatever happens I am sure that it will be compelling viewing for avid golfers.

We at THE LEADER are committed to providing to our golfing readers affordable golf without the need to join a club or apply for a card but simply contact the number, below to have instant access to discounted golf prices, many of which are exclusive to us.

EL RASO GOLF SOCIETY JULY STABLEFORD Our last stableford of the 2012/13 season was played on the 12th July on a hot and sultry day at Font del Llop. The course was in very good condition and judging by the scores seemed to provide a tough test of golf on the day, especially when the wind from the sea got up later in the day. Most people seemed to have little difficulty in finding the course, with the notable exception of Chippy Dave. But despite the “expert” telephone directions of John Holland, he still managed to get there eventually!

The results were as follows. Nearest the pins were, 3 - Neil Metcalf, 8 - David Gray, 12 - Willie Buchanan, 16 - Harry Armstrong and 17 -

By Robin Richards Jerry Conybeare. The best front nine was won by Marylyn Eckersall with 18 points; the best back nine with 19 points was won by Jan Shorley. The best guest was Jerry Conybeare with 34 points. In third place overall with 32 points on count back was Robin Richards. In second place with 34 points was Stan Low, and in first place with 35 points was the King of Scotland himself Willie Buchanan. The “Order of The Garden Gnome” went to Joy Gray, with a less than “elfy” score of 16. At least the little chap will be made welcome when Joy takes him home to meet his new family.

As usual the fines and presentations took place in our spiritual home and our clubhouse - Clapton’s Bar in Quesada. Thanks go to Chris and his team for the delicious “Fricking Chicasee” or Chicken Fricassee to everyone else. If Chris can’t pronounce the name of the dish, what chance does anyone else have? Our Vice-Captain reminded members of the Society AGM on the 15th July and the presentation dinner and dance on the 20th July. She also congratulated the outgoing Captain Bob Shorley for a second outstanding year in the role. Cheers Roberto from all the members!

It has without doubt been a great season for the Society and we have held true to our belief of enjoying the game of golf and having fun too.

Our first match of the new 2013/14 season will take place on the 2nd August at La Marquesa. Anyone wishing to enquire about the Society can call the secretary on 966719711.

Paddy' s Point GS @ Las Colinas - "Pub Championship" Our annual "Pub Championship" shield was contested by 32 players on a wonderful day at Las Colinas. The course was still showing signs of some maintainance work done in the previous weeks but it made for a very competitive competition with a high number of players chasing the best score on the day. The greens were good but the work on the aprons stopped the ball running on to the greens which meant players had to think a bit more about their shots. There could be no complaints though as the course was the same for everyone and we know that next time we play here in August the course will be back to its' immaculate best. Many thanks to Martin and all of his staff at Las Colinas.

We returned to Paddy's Point for a meal and the presentation. Thanks to Hazel and the bar and kitchen staff for looking after us so well, as always. NTP hole 5 - Donal Booth, NTP hole 7 - Dennis Rabbitt NTP hole 10 - Grainne O'Callaghan, NTP hole 14 - Pauline Johnson NTP hole 17 - Joe O'Grady 2s Pot was shared by David McBride, Genero Sanchez, Dennis Rabbitt. Longest Drive - Ian Comaskey, Best Guest - Dennis Booth 1st place - Ted Duffy 36 pts c/b 2nd place - Janet Bryan 36 pts, 3rd place - Genaro Sanchez 35 pts c/b Future Events: Wednesday 14 August, Las Colinas, Summer Trophy

LAS RAMBLAS G. S. Barbara Hitchings, our competition secretary, restricted us to 5 clubs and a putter for Mondays stableford. Work on the front nine greens meant a Tee 10 start [not welcome as the low sun makes the first two holes a nightmare] but this did not prove to be much of a handicap as most players produced reasonable scores. Unluckiest golfer was Geoff Biggerstaff,who, despite scoring 39pts was not in the money. Dee, our secretary,[ and Geoff's better half] decided there would be only two prizes, so the money went to Tom Hardie [40pts] and our captain, Mike Bretnall, winner, with a magnificent 42pts. Handicaps have been cut accordingly!

Wednesday's stableford again saw consistent scoring despite the greens being a bit "woolly" and a slow round [due to the Tee 10 start] Results----[with both winners making it a "jammy" affair !!!]

1st class---1st Ken Robertson 38 pts 2nd- Heinz Lei 37 pts [c/b] 3rd Phil Herrington 37 pts 2nd class -1st John Robertson 38 pts [c/b] 2nd -Mike Chapman 38 pts 3rd Joyce McCluskey 35 pts Two's club---Phil Herrington [2] Carsten Pederson and Joyce McCluskey.

Fridays game was a "change partners" and John Collins, Mike Mahoney, Ann Marie Wiesheit and Jim [guest] won with a score of 87.

Tom Hardie.

SAN MIGUEL GOLF SOCIETY VISIT FONT DE LLOP It was a trip inland for members and guests from San Miguel Golf Society as we made the longish trek to the Aspe area where one of the newer courses in the area can be found.

Font de Llop, which translates as the wolf’s watering hole, can be found nestling in its own secluded valley from where there’s great views over the rugged Spanish countryside. I know the actual film location was further south but the surroundings could well be straight out of many scenes from the famous Clint Eastwood “spaghetti westerns”.

As would be expected, the course is tricky, tight and hilly and any player who happens to possess a few characteristics of a mountain goat, or indeed a wolf, would find them a great asset over the undulating terrain. The 500m 9th hole which is a par 5, stroke 1, starts with a pretty long carry over one of the five lakes then it’s an uphill struggle trying to avoid the bunkers, usually against the prevailing wind, to a very well protected green with a ditch on the left and an over-hanging tree on the right next to a cavernous bunker!

The only hazard missing was an unfriendly pack of wolves popping down from the surrounding hills for a quick slurp!

Thankfully it was probably too hot for them when we visited and there wasn’t a wolf to be seen……they were just as rare as birdies and eagles, didn’t see one of them all day!

Four out of five of the par 3’s gave up their NTP prizes which went to Alan Gilbert, Connor Jeffrey and two to John Osborne. Connor also won the best guest prize with an audacious 45 points and his pal,

HAPPY DAYS G.S. AT MAR MENOR 29 Happy, Happy Days players arrived at Mar Menor golf course on a perfect summers day for our combined stableford comp, they were full of hope with high expectations, unfortunately 1 8 hopes were dashed, but a great day was had by all, even if the coffee was 2-40 e a cup and the tea was 2-50 e which seemed a bit strong, but the course was in good condition, and the greens very good.

Now for the results; the winners were Chris Blown & Andy Shuttle, Runners Up Steve Dixon & Leich Ghost, Fred Noakes & Don Martin, Dave Butler & Robin Adams, Kedrick Rhodes & Arron Curry. Nearest pins : (2) Chris Blown (14) Dave Butler (17) Steve Dixon, two's Prize went to Stewart Black. After the game we all returned Marinasol Bar/ Restaurant ( Cabo Roig) for our presentation, many thanks to Dave ( super Chef) and the Marinasol girls Paige, Charlie, & Jane & Maz who looked after us very well & served up some very tasty sandwiches.

CONGRATULATIONS to Maz and Steve, Steve popped the question and to his surprise Maz accepted, they make a fine couple, Great Stuff and good luck from all the Golfers. Next Game is at Font De Lop on 30th July, payments @ Marinasol Restaurant on Monday 29th July, 56pm. Happy golfing everyone, Robin (the scribe) Adams.

CLARKES BAR GS This week we travelled to La Serena for the 4th round of our eclectic competition. On a hot and fairly calm day we found the course to be in very good condition with the greens slightly on the slow side bit they ran true. The main surprise for the day was the standard of scoring in what were ideal scoring conditions but the golf was enjoyed by all before returning to Clarkes Bar for the presentation and refreshments. Results for the day were: Nearest the pin on both hole 9 and hole 15 John Porter Nearest the pin on hole 16 in 2 Tommy Clarke Longest Drive on hole 7 John Winkley Winner with 34 points Charlie Rodgers Runner up with 32 points John Porter. Next week we are at Corvera. Meet at the bar at 07:45.

VISTABELLA BOWLS CLUB Sponsored by Autos Direct San Miguel After all the recent good results a slightly less encouraging week, this week. On Tuesday we took on Quesada in the Premier Twenty League and despite winning two of the four disciplines away from home, we only managed to win one and draw one at home. At Quesada Maggie Furness won the singles and Martin Foulcer and Richard Lee took the pairs, while at home Ian Kenyon won the singles and Olwyn Ratcliffe, Mike Cox, Mac Maclean and Brian Dunn managed a draw in the rinks. Quesada took the overall shots by 141 to our 123 and won by 11 points to 7.

On Wednesday we entertained Emerald Isle in the Kings Cup and thanks to big wins from Ian Kenyon again in the Men’s Singles and Gail Watson and Fred Willshire in the Pairs we managed to take the overall shots by 91 to 83 despite losing the other 3 disciplines to produce a 6 points all draw. Following this game the Fairways were presented with the trophies for winning the SABA Hurricane League by SABA Secretary Kath Reid.

pairs teams in action Ian Kenyon’s team produced a 5 points to nil win over San Miguel while although Mike Regan’s team lost by 3 points to 2 Mike and Neil Burrows had a great win away to Pete Bonsor’s Quesada team. For Ian’s Team Ian and Fred Willshire playing at home came back from the dead picking up 11 shots on the last two ends to secure a one shot victory, while Les Barber and Arthur Brown at San Miguel nearly blew it on the last end but just held on to also win by one shot.

SAN LUIS 3-2-1 TOURNAMENT SPONSORED BY DAVID'S COACHTRIPS The rearranged 3-2-1 tournament played over the weekend of 13th to the 15th July was a tremendous success and very enjoyable 3 days played in sweltering heat for 72 players.

The tournament was made into an "OPEN" one which allowed players from different clubs to participate and the dress code was mufti thereby an assortment of colours was seen on the green. After 2? days of competition the final was played by Lynn and Eric Bishop with Steve Pearson from Country Bowls against Ann Holland from San Luis with Mike Veale and Steve Cantley from Greenlands and were known as Greenluis or Sanlands. The winners were Greenluis who won a very close contest over the three disciplines by 5 shots.

Many thanks to David's Coachtrips for their generous sponsorship and to Jean Hepehi for organising the raffle.

EL RANCHO BOWLS CLUB

GREENLANDS BOWLS CLUB By Steve Hibberd Although they have picked up some useful points along the way, our Premier 20 side had not won a match this season, that was until they came up against Monte Mar. At home in the singles, Cas Thomas led from the start, eventually winning her discipline 21-15. The trips team of Jim Oliver, Allan Brown & Brian Miller picked up a 6 on the 6th and 16th ends, as they eased to a 33-7 victory. Not to be outdone, Mrs Miller led her team of Mike Keating, Steph Taylor & Mike Veale to a comprehensive 23-11 triumph. Over at Gran Alicant, the pairs team of Sandra Heath & Bill Sims came out on top of an intriguing contest, just squeezing home by 2 shots (19-17). Twas more straight forward for the trips team of Phil Lockley, Sue Johnson & Steve Hibberd, who dropped shots on only 5 ends on their way to a 28-15 victory. So, with only 1 game remaining, it was nice to record a 12-6 victory and restore some pride. There's no game next week, but the following week we

www.yourlocalnewspaper.info

take on El Rancho, before a well earned late summer recess.

Also in their penultimate fixture, the Monarchs visited San Luis to play the Blues. Before start of play, the Blues were 2nd, whilst our Monarchs were 4th in the Kings Cup league. Fast forward to the match cessation and the positions were unchanged, as the Monarchs went down by 8 points to 4. Even though Sandra Heath won her ladies singles match convincingly (21-8), and the rinks team of Jan Pocock, Mike Veal, Lynn Greenland & Steve Cantley won well (21-13), the other 3 disciplines didn't perform quite so well (diplomatic or what?), leaving the home side with an 8 shots overall advantage.

It's getting towards that time of year when players bank balances take a slight drop. GBC owner Mike Green has announced that wef 1 Sep, next seasons membership fees will remain at the amazingly low figure of only 175 euros.

On Friday and Saturday we staged a 3-2-1 competition, our first, and although availability was down as often happens at this time of the year, we had a splendid time. We all took the opportunity to win some and lose some, had many a laugh and had great company. John Newell, Carol Lowry and Jane Hamill beat Yvie Gerrard, Ron Edwards and Keith Lowry on the overall shots 13 to 11. So giving them the win by 5 points to 3.

We were away at La Siesta for our 2nd last game in the Kings Cup this morning. We did well winning on 3 rinks and losing on 2, but lost the overall shots by 84-76 making the final score 6pts each. Ladies singles: Marianne Holtham 14-21. Mens singles: Drew Gerrard 21-16.

Pairs: Jim Jarvie and Dave Whitworth 12-27. Trips: Margaret Odell, Ron Odell and Mike Smith 12-11. Rinks: Jim Gracie, Ron Edwards, Shirley Edwards and Alex Morrice 17-09. Sponsored by Caser. For membership details please contact Irene Mangan 966 71 7700 or Marianne Holtham on 966 77 2222.

MONTE MAR BOWLS AND SOCIAL CLUB Sponsored by Super Valu Saturday 13th July 2013 Internal 4-3-2-1 competition Today, the bowlers at Montemar contested the annual 4,3,2,1 event under the sweltering July sun.

30 players in six teams took part and the event involved the teams playing singles, pairs, trips and fours disciplines. Even though the conditions didn’t get any cooler by 5pm all the scheduled events had been completed and we had a winning team.

Everyone adjourned to the bar where the team of Alan Ashberry, Denise Ashberry, Dave Melville, Rowena Good and Harry Dobson were presented with the trophy by Club Vice Captain Chris Merry.

Chris thanked the organisers, markers and everyone who had taken part in the event in spite of the ‘trying’ conditions. Featured are the winning team.

By Sheila Cammack Over the weekend, 15-17th July, San Luis BC held the previously washed-out 3-2-1 “OPEN” mixed trips, sponsored by David’s Coachtrips S.L. This time the weather stayed hot & hotter, wouldn’t some cooling rain be refreshing! In spite of that the bowling was excellent, this format really focuses the mind with only 3 bowls each & points available for each section (trips, pairs & singles) + overall shots, some teams needed shot difference to decide the group winners. After 3 days & 5 hard-fought games, the semi-finalists were: Lin & Charlie Watkins (CB) + Jack Martin (Q) v Ann Holland (SL), + Mike Veale & Steve Cantley (G) =winners.

June & Keith Jones + Colin Lindgren (SL) v Lynne B, Steve Pearson & Eric Bishop (CB) = winners.

The final was closely fought but when the weary bodies finally finished, the runners-up were from Country Bowls Club: Lynne Bishop, Steve Pearson & Eric Bishop. Congratulations to the winners: Ann Holland, Mike Veale & Steve Cantley.

COUNTRY BOWLS REPORT

Not one but two Country Bowls teams reached the final stages of the " 3-2-1 San Luis Mufti Open " played over three days last weekend. Lin & Charlie Watkins along with Jack Martin of Quesada Bowls played excellently and qualified for a place in the semi finals by the end of day two. Lynne Bishop, Steve Pearson & Eric Bishop topped their group early on the third day. Lin, Charlie & Jack unfortunately lost their semi final against Ann Holland, Mike Veale & Steve Cantley, but Lynne, Steve & Eric beat June Jones, Colin Lindgren & Keith Jones in the other Semi final. The final was then between Eric Bishop's and Steve Cantley's teams. It was an exciting but very exhausting game, three games on a very hot day was beginning to take it's toll on everyone but Ann, Mike & Steve finished on a high and became the Champions leaving Lynne, Steve & Eric winning the second prize. Congratulations to Steve's team but once again very well done Country Bowls for being up there amongst the best once again.

TORRY KO NEW SEASON AT HOME By Steve Hibberd La Nucia visit Vicente Garcia Stadium on Sun 25 Aug, in what will be the curtain raiser for div 3 season 13/14. Last season, Torry recorded a clinical 21 victory over promotion chasing La Nucia, and more of the same will do very nicely. The following week end involves Torry making the long trip to Llosa, for which hopefully Torry Army will be arranging a coach trip. On 8 Sep, newly promoted Torre Levante visit Vicente Garcia, then it's another long haul to Muro the week end after (best to get

these 2 long distance trips out of the way while the weather's still hot!). Rounding off September, sees a home match v Utiel on the 22nd, then on the 29th, there's a nice local derby away at relegated Orihuela.

Since my last set of notes, Anselmo Serrano Carmona has been appointed as manager. Arriving from Almoradi, he's certainly not wasted any time in the transfer market, making a number of useful signings. Arriving from preferente side Callosa is

2ND ALCOY 7’s RUGBY TOURNAMENT WEEKEND On Saturday Alcoy will be running their 2nd rugby 7’s tournament kicking off at 09.30 on 27 July at the Polideportivo Las Moreras, Concentaina near Alcoy. At the moments teams that have already confirmed are Alcoy RFC, off course, Elche RFC, Albacete RFC, Aspe RFC, Penyagolpsa RFC and

Alicante University, but 10 teams have promised to come, so will just have to wait and see if they confirm this week.

This is a great achievement from a team that has only been going a couple of years and fingers crossed it will be just as successful as last years, which was excellent.

This is going to be followed by the 16th annual beach rugby 7’s at San Juan in Alicante, kicking off at 10.00.

I have been invited to both tournaments so I will be there with all of my rugby gear, so come along for two great weekends of rugby in the sun.

For rugby events in the area contact me on the number below.

Training starts back up at the end of August, more information about this will be put in the papers nearer the time.

So if you are interested, dig out those rugby boots and come along and see for yourself what it is like.

New players are always welcome no matter what age or skill level you are.

If you would like more information about what is going on in the club, you can contact the club by phoning myself, Garry on 692 767 242.

27 year old goalkeeper Carrion. Micro, a 26 year old midfielder, has signed from Crevillente, as has ex Torry favourite, the experienced Carassco. Full back Eloy has joined from Almoradi, whilst 24 year old Rodri will be hoping that his recovery from a serious injury is long term, as the defender signs from Real Murcia 'B'.

Leaving the club are Juanfran, who has joined Orihuela, last seasons top goal scorer Koeman, who has signed for big spenders Novelda, Rafa has moved up to Madrid, plus local lads Sergio and Luis Carlos (new clubs unknown).

La Liga side Elche have indicated that they will be sending a side to play a friendly on Sat 31 Aug at Vicente Garcia, which will probably mean a change of date for the league away trip to Llosa (more on that asap). New commercial manager Kevin Green has arranged for Chelsea & Spurs vets to play in an International football week end on 7/8 Sep (once again, details to follow). He also was responsible for a hugely successful musical boat trip last Thurs eve, in which the U2 tribute 'Just Bono' entertained Torry fans and friends alike, whilst sailing the Costa Blanca coast.

DA MA DE ELCHE IS NOT RO MANIAN....

In a bizarre ‘you couldn’t make it up’ saga,

BY JOHN a Romanian full back called Cristian MCGREGOR Sapunaru drove all the way from Bucharest in his native country – 3,100 kms – to Elche this week with his pretty young wife, who doesn’t like flying and stayed in the Millenium Hotel at the City of Palms, which the club use regularly. Well, either the air conditioning wasn’t working, or she didn’t like the shops, who knows, but the back-seat driving lady put her foot down and said no to the move - so it’s all off. Who said Romania’s a male-dominated country and their women are exploited? Here’s one who clearly isn’t…

I’m worried: Elche seem hell-bent on signing players in positions already well-served. Last Friday much was made of the signing of new goalkeeper Tono from hated rivals Granada, the team that ‘beat’ Elche in the play-off final two years ago to go up only on an away goal scored in a 1 – 1 draw, resulting in lots of nasty ‘afters’ from the presidents down through the club. The Illicitanos already have two good goalkeepers (and full backs) at the Martinez Valero, it’s class strikers who can put the ball in the net regularly we need, and one or two decent suppliers to ‘em wouldn’t go amiss. In those key departments we have one of each arrived from Seville, a striker Manu del Moral and an international midfielder originally from Serbia, Miroslav Stevanovich. A good bet seems another midfielder, Ruben Perez, who’s having trouble getting a regular game in mighty Athletico Madrid’s first team, so he’s on a one-year loan to the Illicitanos. That’s more like it, no expensive risky transfer fees the club can’t afford.

Fellow-promotees Villarreal, and Seville’s Real Betis are both in La Liga and were interested in Perez, but it appears that unlike Mrs

ing eleven was: Diego Rivas, Damian Suarez, Omgba, Samu, Charlie, Sergi, Mantecón, Fidel, Generelo, Manu del Moral and Coro. Playing substitutes were Toño, Lombán, Super, Albacar, Stevanovic, Pelayo, Rivera, Aaron, Carles Gil and Powel. Elche’s goals were scored by Manu del Moral in the 33rd minute and the second three minutes later by Coro.

Of the above Pelayo and Powel are on the transfer list, and besides Etxeita Elche have let go Flano, Hector Verdes, Palanca, Linares Pre season training last week (retired), Xumetra (to Levante), and disappointingly – Angel, who on the beach at El Mojon scored 15 last season, but has Sapunaro, the Perez people preferred palm trees: perfect… recently failed to reproduce his exciting form in the final part of last Promise I won’t say it any more, but my favourite and king-pin of the season since he returned from Levante. Two more ‘friendlies’ are brilliant defence that got Elche promoted in the last glorious season, arranged pre-season as Elche take on mighty Benfica on 31st July, and one Xavier Etxeita has gone on a free transfer back to Athletico Bilbao arch rivals, match-fixingly-charged Hercules on 3rd August. The big and his heartland. In his place in central defence to partner retained season kicks off away to Rayo Vallecano on 18/19th August Catalan Sergio Pelligrin, now 35 with his best years behind him we Elche have delightedly announced the sale of 20,233 season tickets now have David Lomban signed from Barcelona ‘B’: now there’s a already, it seems the city are excited to be back in the big time - even pedigree. if Mrs Sapunaru doesn’t want to be crowned the new Dama De Elche’s first pre-season game has taken place in Pinatar, a 2 – 0 win Elche... over ‘Selection AFE’ (?) before a crowd of 800. The Illicitanos start- Mucho Elche!
