CHRISTMAS HERE

Tel: 96 673 0057

STARTS As our monthly calendars were turned over at the weekend, there are now just 3 weeks to go before Christmas day, when our attentions might not only turn to peace and goodwill, but also some of the exciting events that are on offer here, locally.

As Father Christmas has taken his seat for the foreseeable future, until the Three Kings take over the role, as lastweekend saw the Zenia Boulevard illuminate their Christmas decorations, ahead of the rest of the Orihuela Costa, where the official street lights and decorations will be turned on during the official ceremony on Thursday evening at 6pm outside the little white church of La Zenia, two hours before the same lights are switched on in the city of Orihuela, counteracting previous complaints that the coast is always last.

Thursday also sees the official Christmas party celebrated at the Centro Cívico, with doors

opening at 11:00, before food is served a short time later.

Booking must be made in advance though, so you had better hurry if you want to enjoy this one.

Plans for the Christmas market are still going ahead, with a view to that event taking place on the car park alongside the Zenia Boulevard, where an ice rink is already being enjoyed by visitors of all ages, opening on the 20th of December until the 23rd, with traditional Christmas gifts, handcrafts, food and more, for those little extra special presents for the ones you wish to treat.

In Orihuela City, the commercial department has also organized a number of special events, mostly aimed at the younger generation, including bouncy castles at the Plaza del Salvador, along with a “Roterball” at the glorieta Gabriel Miró, and a number of workshops featuring such activities as origami, all based around the weekends later in the month, with a mechanical bull also joining in the fun for the January holiday weekend.

Continued from Page One For a more refine form of cultural entertainment in Orihuela, there are the likes of the Russian National Ballet performing Sleeping Beauty at the Teatro Circo, or perhaps Handel´s Messiah, which is on this weekend, as well as special musical concert on Christmas day.

Another option for the city of Orihuela could be one of their cultural walking tours, the first which starts this week, offering a guided walk which includes traditional sweets, the first tour of a campaign which will run through to March.

In Torrevieja, The Nutcracker ballet is performed at the Teatro Municipal this week, which also coincides with celebrations which will see two outdoor concerts, paella at the port, a “Mascletá”, fireworks and more, including the appearance of “Gigantes y Cabezudos” on the streets of the city, which, for those yet to experience them, are giants with oversized heads.

Torrevieja will also play host to a Christmas market, again from the 20th of December, and a variety of themed concerts including carols and traditional songs, as well as music and even entertainment for the children.

As the traditional British celebrations come to a close, we then move into the more traditional Spanish offerings, with Torrevieja and both Orihuela City and the coast offering the Three Kings Parade, although the Orihuela offerings had been subject to some changes in routes, with the security services learning the lessons after a tragedy in Málaga last year.

On the Orihuela Costa, the parade will start on the waste land near to the unfinished secondary school, which also avoids problems with blocking access to the N-332, and will include the usual floats, donkeys, bulls, drummers and even a few angels, with the route heading parallel to the motorway, before turning to go behind the Zenia Boulevard, where the animals will remain, and then ending inside the shopping centre where their majesties will hold audience for those chil-

But we must also remember that although Christmas brings great joy for most, it is not a great time for some. Support groups such as the Samaritans are gearing up for their busiest time of year, whereas others are doing what they can to make the season that little bit better for those in need. We at The Leader are still continuing to collect food which will be given to local charities to go directly to those in need, to which we say thank you to those already donated and still extend the appeal to help with anything you can, however big or small. Similarly, the Orihuela Costa town hall is now collecting toys, with a large collection box available which they hope to fill and again, give directly to those children who may not be facing the greatest time of year.

As with all of the events, they are subject to change and we will keep you informed through the What´s On guide in The Leader, but more information can also be obtained by contacting the town halls direct.

As for us, we too will be taking a little bit of time off, with our last edition being out on the 23rd of December, returning once again on the 13th of January. Our offices will remain open for some of the period, operating normally until the 23rd of December, on Christmas Eve we are open until noon, then we will only be opening on the 30th and 31st of December, and again on the 2nd and 3rd of January, from 09:30 until 14:00, the rest of the time we too will be eating, drinking and being merry, which is not a sight we would like you to see, and so, our doors will be closed apart from those times.

Exite Radio will still be on air right through the entire period though, with a range of specialist Christmas shows of music, talk, entertainment, thrillers, comedies and more, with details to follow nearer the time. For now, as we chomp our way through our chocolate advent calendars, we can all prepare for a Christmas and New Year to beat all others.

LA REGIA FOOTBRIDGE GETS STAR TED I would like to congratulate Martina Scheurer for continuing the good work started by Pedro Mancebo of CLR. Last week work commenced on the footbridge linking the Cabo Roig Medical Centre to La Regia at Global Cars. Other projects started by Mancebo have also been undertaken, well done Martina! It does not often happen that a politician from one party has the courage to continue the good works begun by another. The La Regia footbridge will be of great benefit to elderly residents of La Regia

who have been cut off from the medical centre since the N332 was widened. Tourists and businesses will also benefit from the free flow of pedestrian traffic especially in the busy summer season.

DOUBTS OVER NEW GREEN WASTE CLAIMS

In the ongoing political battle of wills on the subject of green waste, the CLARO political group announced that the residents of the Orihuela Costa are being fined by the local police for “putting out garden waste for collection in places and on days which do not conform to the schedule of the supposed twice weekly regular collection service”.

The statement from the group read, “In a policy move which will cause deep resentment in Orihuela Costa, the Mayor of Orihuela has mobilised the local police to impose fines of up to €3000 on residents”, continuing to state that, “It is understood that already a dozen fines have been levied”.

Whereas one could easily argue that there is a problem of garden waste being dumped, and if this action is correct then the police have a right and a duty to enforce the laws of the municipality, thus solving the problem in a legal and official way, as, according to the statement, “we have not had a properly organised service for years, if ever”, thus also taking responsibility for the time

CLARO councillor Bob Houliston was in a position of power, as well as his current allies, the Partido Popular. But despite all of this, questions still remain as to the accuracy of the accusations.

Prior to this press release, a letter from a concerned resident was also sent to us and other English language newspapers, and so, the matter was raised by The Leader with the town hall.

The Councillor for the Coast, Martina Schreurer, contacted the chief of the local police and then reported that “I have seen the police paperwork”, continuing, “NOBODY has been denounced for putting out a little bag, all volumes where more than the 1.000 litres”, thus disputing the claims that it is residents who have been targeted by the police at this time.

Schreurer continued, “NOBODY has been denounced for putting out a small volume on the wrong day either”, again challenging the accusations from CLARO. “Most of them are garden companies. Some are private citizens, but they have an address which does not correspond with the place where they got caught

depositing green waste”, again though, reaffirming that the amount being dumped was of significant size, and not a typical amount of clippings that a private garden would produce.

Commercial gardeners may too live on the Orihuela Costa of course.

The chief of police also said that they do not fine anybody for flytipping as is the subject of this issue, but they compile the reports which are handed to the government department who then follow the protocol for the issuing of sanctions as appropriate.

In the meantime, although there is a distinct possibility that anybody could be fined in the future, it has, according to the police, not been the case so far. There are ways of both reducing this risk and keeping the streets clean, as we have said on numerous occasions before, by contacting the town hall to clarify the day and time for garden waste to be put out for collection, taking responsibility for the problem and reducing the political football that seems to do nothing to resolve the matter.

TOO MANY QUESTIONS OVER FREEDOM FOR SPAIN’S TERRORISTS A

s more and more terrorists, murderers and rapists are freed by the Spanish judicial system, doubt is growing as to the legality of the situation that has seen scores of prisoners released.

It was in October that the European Court of Human Rights ruled that the “Parot doctrine”, named after convicted Eta member Unai Parot, was unconstitutional. The doctrine, which was introduced in 2006, aimed to ensure that convicted Eta terrorists remained incarcerated, effectively for life, rather than being allowed free based on a prisoner´s entitlement that their sentence is automatically reduced by working whilst in prison. Under Spanish Law, the maximum length of time any prisoner can serve is 30 years, which is subsequently theoretically reduced from the moment they enter prison.

The case came to light when one such convicted terrorist, Inés del Río Prado, sentenced in 1989 to 3,828 years in prison having found to be responsible for the deaths of 24 people, including 12 Guardia Civil officers, in Madrid, took her case to Europe, which was subsequently won. The Strasbourg court ordered her immediate release, as well as ruling her entitlement to 30,000 euro compensation for the length of time she has now served, some 24 years, which is more than she would have under the rules of reduction.

The judiciary examined the case and ruled that the court ruling was not negotiable, also stating that the order extends to other prisoners serving extended sentences, of which at least 60 of the 600 Eta terrorists would qualify for freedom.

Both the ruling and the adoption of the legislation caused widespread indignation throughout Spain, with officers from the Guardia Civil and other security forces echoing the feelings of the relatives of the victims, that this was a travesty of justice and would not only make Spain an unsafe place in the future, it ridicules the loss that they have all felt.

However, over the past few weeks, the doubt of the application of the rule has grown stronger, especially the element where freedom should be extended to other prisoners, rather than solely for the person raising the case, Inés del Río Prado. After all, as a European Court ruling, should it be enforceable, it might well be used as a legal challenge for prisoners of other member states, which could mean countries like the UK having to release high profile prisoners such as Ian Brady and Robert Maudsley.

This week, as the latest batch of prisoners saw their freedom granted, a former Magistrate from the Strasbourg court, Luis del Pino, has spoken out about his surprise of the actions adopted by Spain.

In an interview, Luis del Pino has firstly stated that “there was no obligation to release Inés del Río Prado within 24 hours”, which was the claim of the Spanish courts. But, moreover, “the Parot doctrine is the

first ruling by Strasbourg that was fulfilled in less than 24 hours”. He continued to explain that although the rule by the European court is binding, it is up to the country I question to decide when and how the rules are implemented.

What is perhaps now considered of greater concern to those who voiced their anger as more and more prisoners are released, is that del Pino also stated that “he judgment of Strasbourg affected only the ETA prisoner Inés del Río, and had no obligation to be automatically extended to the rest of ETA and rapists released”.

A this week closed with a total of 69 “approved” prisoners set free, including a terrorist who murdered a toddler in 1991 and a couple who killed two police officers in 1987, family members and group members of victims groups took station at the gates of a number of prisons to voice their protest as the prisoners walked free.

However, confusion seemed more apparent after another revelation that the state has opposed the release of one prisoner, Miguel Ricart, responsible for the infamous “Alcásser Girls” case, when three teenage girls from Alcásser, a small town near Valencia, who were kidnapped, raped, beaten, savagely tortured and murdered after hitchhiking to get to a disco in the nearby town of Picassent in late 1992, resulting in Ricart jailed for 170 years, whereas a second man, Antonio Anglés, remains a fugitive to this day, high on INTERPOL´s most wanted list.

One member of such a group, Ángeles Pedraza, summed up the feeling of the entire congregation, by simply saying, “They're laughing at us”, in reference to the revelation that the ruling only applied to one prisoner, rather than the near 70 being freed. She continued, “Obviously I'm happy that as a murderer Ricart will stay in jail after the atrocity, but I do but I keep asking questions” of the actions of the state department of justice. Ricart was also released this week.

Those questions extend to the actions of the judges, with Pedranza asking “Why do the judges respond only to a covenant to free ETA?”, then questioning if there is actually a “secret pact” between the government and ETA, but accepting, “These questions, like most, remain unanswered”.

The Criminal Chamber of the National Court agreed to release of 14 other ETA prisoners this week, including Francisco Javier Martínez Izaguirre, arrested in 1992 and given 744 years in prison for six murders, one victim being 2 year old Fabio Moreno, the son of a Guardia Civil officer, as well as supplying weapons, explosives and being directly responsible for a

number of attacks.

Inmaculada Pacho is an ETA terrorist released from Campos del Río prison in Murcia, arrested in 1991 and given a total of 500 years in prison for several murders, four attacks, including a police station in Burgos, six frustrated murders and 48 offences of causing injury.

Miren Gotzone López de Luzuriaga, along with partner Ignacio Fernández de Larrinoa, were sentenced to prison for the murder of two police officers in 1987, two years later, being responsible for an attempted attack on a barracks at Llodio, Álava, both now set free.

The atrocities of ETA terrorism have affected Spain for many years, with only last year Óscar Zelarain and Antoni Otegi convicted for the 2002 bombing of the Guardia Civil barracks at Santa Pola, in which a 9 year old girl, Silvia Martínez, and a 57 year old man, Cecilio Gallego Alaminos, were killed. They were sentenced to 843 years in prison, seeing justice done for those deaths, but now, with so many questions remaining unanswered, the question of justice for the victims, rather than the perpetrators, remains in doubt.

SIX MORE TOURISM ROUTES FOR ORIHUELA The Councillor for Tourism in Orihuela, Rosa Martínez, has announced the launch of a new batch of so-called “tourist routes” through Orihuela, which will run throughout the winter, from December to March.

The aim, according to Martínez, is to “promote visits to Orihuela”, whilst offering information about the historic and culture rich city.

The first tour will take place on Sunday the 8th of December, under the tempting title, “Dulces pasos”, or “Sweet steps”' , which will start from the Orihuela Tourist Office at 10:00, over a walking route of 3.5 kilometres, taking in San Juan de la Penitencia, Trinidad, San Sebastián, Las Salesas and San Francisco, where tasting sessions for a variety of sweets will be available at three of the venues, including tasting such traditional delights as tarta de Santa Clara, as well as Christmas themed sweet treats. Because of the expected popularity of this route, there will be limited places available and the tour will be in groups of a maximum of 35 people.

The next tours will take place on both Sunday the 22nd of December and Sunday the 5th of January, which will provide a guided tour of the traditional Christmas nativity scenes, the belenes, this tour organised by the department of culture.

Next, once the Christmas season is over, January the 19th will see a tour of the mill at La Aparecida, through the stunningly beautiful orchards. On the 2nd of February, there will be a tour of El Horno de Bustamante.

Into March, on the 2nd, the tour will visit the historic and culturally rich Murals of San Isidro and on the 23rd of March, the last tour of this season, the guided walk will take visitors along the coastal promenade.

More information can be obtained from the town hall, as well as in the tourist information offices, and with places likely to go quickly, booking is a must. There is also a possibility of extending the routes further, depending on the demand and interest, and a booklet is being produced which will include all of the details of the individual tours, including the length, sights and difficulties for each of the trips.

ORIHUELA COSTA FINALLY ON MOTORWAY MAP Motorists who use the AP-7 motorway may be all too aware that junction 763 indicates the route to leave the highway for “La Zenia Urbanizaciones”, very shortly a more generic name is set to appear, with the signs set to be replaced with “Orihuela CostaUrbanización La Zenia”.

The move has come after Orihuela´s councillor for tourism, Rosa Martínez of the PSOE, made an application for a change to the signs with the Ministry of Development. In a statement, Martínez said that the company who look after the Alicante to Cartagena motorway will, “proceed in the near future to modify signalling existing at exit 763 in both directions, replacing the destination with the name to include Orihuela Costa”.

However, although the Orihuela Costa may finally be on the map at that point, the rejected an application for the same at junction 768, signposted “Dehesa de Campoamor”, as that route, “does not refer exclusively to the nuclei population located within the municipality of Orihuela, but also refers to other towns of neighbouring municipalities that are almost closer to said exit than those developments located in the municipality of Orihuela”.

Before you get too excited at the possibility of seeing the new signs, it should be pointed out that there will be a cost if you do, as junction 763 is on the tollpayment stretch of road, although the toll price has been reduced once again for the winter period, so you have until Easter if you want to save on your tour of motorway signs.

ORIHUELA MINES RESTORATION PROGRESSES On Sunday, Francisco Javier Carrasco Milara, director of Minería de Mayasa, visited the mining complex of San Antón in Orihuela, in order to partake in a technical meeting with municipal archaeologist Emilio Diz, and members of various historical heritage and archaeological groups, with a view to drafting an action plan for the rehabilitation of the mines of San Antón.

A group of Orihuela supporters have already created the initial draft project, as well as taking the first steps to its execution. The planned work itself is in an area over 4,000 square meters of the San Miguel Mountain, which is under the protection of the city of Orihuela for 75 years.

The project will include the restoration and rehabilitation of the “Santa Matilde Furnace”, as well as the area surrounding the location, restoring as much as possible to its original state.

The visit of Francisco Javier Carrasco was said to be “fruitful and of great interest” for the project, with his views helping to clarify some aspects of the operation of the furnace, which apparently differs somewhat from other ovens of this type preserved in Almadén, being of a slimmer design and with an addition element of an “ashtray”, where the ashes of the burnt wood fuel accumulates.

LOCAL POLICE CRACKDOWN ON STREET CLEANLINESS Local Police in Alicante have been actively involved in a campaign launched by the town hall to try to keep the streets of the city clean.

The aim of the initiative, launched through the combined efforts of both the Urban and Security departments of the Partido Popular run council, is partly to have a “systematic awareness campaign”, in order to “eradicate at least 50%” of the volume illegally dumped waste on the streets, whilst, at the same time, denouncing and punishing those residents and businesses who fail to adhere to the rules

to keep the streets clean.

This is the latest campaign to try to improve the image of the city, after the success of an anti-graffiti struggle launched earlier in the year, alongside one to try to encourage correct use of waste bins on the beaches of San Juan this summer.

In a press conference, Andrés Llorens, the councillor responsible for urban matters, said that by having 20 people on the street focussing on the problem each day, the teams are able to identify the worst affected areas and deal with the most common offenders. Councillor for public security, Juan Seva, said that his department are providing 7 people in the morning and the same number in the afternoon, specifically to facilitate an improved response by the police to deal with these “most common offences and antisocial behaviours of citizens that have the greatest impact on our city”.

The Alicante city government is run by the PP, under the management of Mayor Sonia Castedo Ramos, born in 1971, elected in 2008 following the resignation of her predecessor, and the first woman ever to occupy this position of Mayor of Alicante.

DETAILS RELEASED OF SUPPORT FOR CONVICTED MAYOR

The story of another corrupt politician, rumbles on This week, yet another politician was convicted of criminal offences, former head of the Partido Popular in Castellón, Carlos Fabra, sentenced to 4 years in prison for tax fraud, stating that he has “no fear of going to prison”, while the story of another convict, former Torrevieja Mayor Pedro Hernández Mateo, rumbles on.

After being sentenced to 3 years in prison by every level of the judicial system, he narrowly avoided going into jail last week as a petition for clemency was launched. That petition is now pending, and he still remains free until it is resolved.

This week, the details of the support for his campaign to remain free were published, revealing the names of his allies who want to see him remain at large and unpunished.

We know that a number of deputies of the Valencia parliament have signed, as have quite a few of the local PP Group, with the current Mayor, Eduardo Dólon, top of the list, along with his deputy, Joaquín Albaladejo Martínez. However, what is noticeable is that only 8 of the 15 councillors who make up the municipal government team are listed as supporters of his freedom. Perhaps more surprising is the addition of two PSOE members, the former councillor María-Luisa Zafra Mercader, and former group secretary Marta Zafra Mercader.

Amidst claims that there were threats of the withdrawal of subsidies and grants from the town hall, a number of social groups are listed, including church groups, those who look out for the health of residents, including cancer, mental health, Alzheimer’s, alcohol and diabetes, immigration groups, worker´s associations from agriculture and fishing, sports, television companies and even the post office have

all lent their support.

There are also 2,334 citizens who put their names to the petition as individuals, all presented by the lawyer representing the case, Vicente Grima Lizandra.

However, as the Los Verdes, who brought the case to light in the first place, explained, with a total of 2,476 signatures submitted, that figure represents only 2% of the census count for Torrevieja, and is less than 1% of all usual residents. They also believe that had the petition been levied without the pressure or at the expense of losing grants, subsidies or work, it would have been far less.

The Los Verdes had also responded with their own campaign on the petition website change.org, which, although still gaining support, at the most recent count had 4,041 individuals who want to see the disgraced politician incarcerated, well on its way to being double the number of those who wish to see him remain free.

The current mayor and his deputy are amongst the supporters of the convicted Mateo

As more institutions and authorities take to social networks to enable the quick dissemination of information, it is inevitable that once or twice there are issues with the information being shared. One such issue was highlighted this week, when the National Police of Spain attempted to gather awareness for the needs of recognising and honouring the rights of animals.

With nearly 700,000 followers, the National Police may have believed in their actions being of a positive nature, when they tweeted to hunters the need to respect their working dogs, with the message which roughly translated to, “If you are a hunter, the dogs are your allies and great friends, ALWAYS faithful. Take care of the animal, abuse is punishable”.

In itself that seems like an animal orientated posi-

tive message, until the message was questioned by electrical retailer Media Markt. They responded to the police to question the whole notion of hunting, whilst praising the actions in support of the dogs, questioning the rights of the prey, “It seems a brilliant idea, now just need to take care of those hunted”.

The police immediately responded in an attack on the electrical store and their products, although that message was quickly deleted, ultimately resulting in a dialogue between the two bodies, with a flurry of retweets and comments, with Media Markt finally commenting that “We will not get into absurd duels because we respect all the animals”, although a number of people still questioned their integrity, wondering if it was nothing more than a stunt to obtain more followers.

LIVELY DEBATE AT THE ORIHUELA PLENARY The monthly plenary meeting of the Orihuela government team took place this week and, apart from a brief moment when some of the PSOE team walked out, seemingly tired of the childish attitudes of their opposition, a number of important factors were raised for discussion.

One of the most important matters was the 1.2 million euro fine levied onto Orihuela for landowners who were not given the full value of their land when the N332 was extended. IN view of the inability to pass a new budget, this money has eluded payment, and now, with the Mayor facing a personal fine, the need to resolve the matter is greater.

The plan to make the payment immediately was declined by the opposition PP, as Mónica Lorente, who heads the finance group, claimed that the allocation should have been included in budgets of 2012 and 2013, budgets which they effectively prevented. Asunción Mayoral, ousted member of CLR, suggested the amount should be paid by reducing the salaries of workers in the town hall.

Plans were approved to fund the finalisation of work at the unfinished civic centre in the small town of La Aparecida, so this work can now be put to public tender, using a portion of the money obtained by selling coastal land. The PP group wanted to oppose this, despite the plans being their intention in the first place, but they say that they had their own way of funding the project.

A notion to propose the reduction of tax for court fees was rejected.

Bob Houliston abstained as he represents a “local party” and has no interest in national policies, the Los Verdes objected as they are for the complete abolition of these fees, whereas the PP objected for “other reasons”.

Former PP councillor for the coast, José Aniote, complained about the waste of money on the Avenida La Zenia, as the temporary work to allow vehicles to park during summer was now being replaced by the more permanent features. As a result of this complaint, Pedro Mancebo of the CLR group has now asked to see the accounts for him to check the matter himself.

Bob Houliston of CLARO raised a question directly with the Councillor for the Coast and International Resident, Martina Scheurer, relating to the information gained from attending the presentation regarding European elections. Scheurer responded by stating that the town hall accepts what the members of the Statistics Institute said, whilst also reminding anybody who faces difficulties in registering on

the padrón, or with residencia, should ask to speak to her assistant, Heike, who will be more than happy to assist in a number of languages, including English and German. The Councillor also suggested that anybody who is registering on the padrón should not miss the opportunity to register at the same time, their right to vote.

In other news this week, the bridge work over the motorway is progressing already and the work has now begun on the footbridge over the N-332. There will be some minor road closures to facilitate the building of the support structure, but this will be kept to a minimum.

Equally, a number of palm trees will have to be removed, but these are to be relocated to other areas on the coast.

The “Reading Point” on the Orihuela Costa has now been given an official opening date, as the work to build the internal elements and catalogue the books is almost complete. The opening will take place

on the 13th of December, with more details available next week as to the long-term opening hours.

As previously warned by the government team of Orihuela, they have this week announced the opening of 34 cases relating to “urban infractions”, the majority of which are for planning violations on the Orihuela Costa, 10 of which are for the immediate removal of a number of billboards, mostly along the N332 route, which have been installed without authority and some of which impede visibility.

The finance department has approved the payment of 167,013 euro in subsidies and payments relating to teaching, scholarships and athletic transportation, including the improvement of the soccer field turf at La Aparecida, maintenance of the Palacio del Agua, the rental of a tractor for the beaches in summer, and various other smaller improvement projects.

LEARNING THE LINGO PART 2 The greater percentage of non Spanish people who have made Orihuela Costa their home are pensioners. They purchased their home to fulfil their retirement dream and to hopefully live fuller and more active lives in a place where the climate encourages people to leave their homes on a daily basis and hopefully maintain a more active lifestyle. Many of these people have never had linguistic skills and have never spoken a foreign language.

Their experiences form foreign language classes of their youth have done little to give them any confidence in learning Spanish now they have reached mature years. Many expats have never been inside a classroom since they completed their compulsory school education in their teens. The thought and prospect of returning to a learning environment after more than forty years absence fills many people with dread. Added to this is the simple fact that learning complex and difficult subjects does get harder due to advancing years, especially if you have never had any aptitude for language in the past. The majority of expats have never studied Spanish or had the opportunity to do so before they purchased their Spanish home.

Nearly all language teaching seems to follow a set format; normally language curriculums cover talking about yourself, describing your family, work, hobbies, giving and getting directions, travel, booking hotels and holidays, shopping, describing the weather etc. Whilst covering these topics the grammar and structure of the language are developed, with considerable emphasis placed on verbs and tenses. Many learners feel that the topics covered are irrelevant to their needs due to the fact that the majority of foreign residents do not have regular contact with Spanish people and developing conversations along these topics is often impossible.

However all non Spanish people will be forced to communicate with the great machine of Spanish bureaucracy at some time, to complain about their utility bills or to make a report to the police. All residents will have occasion to register on the Padron, obtain residency or change documents for the Spanish equivalent.

Also many people will have faulty goods that they will want repairing or items that need to be exchanged in shops. Asking for a garment in your own size or finding out when the next delivery will be in store.

Survival Spanish is what most people need but most language curriculums totally fail to address this issue.

Further the tricky task of completing essential forms in Spanish is usually ignored on most courses.

Most courses that are offered on the Orihuela Costa are only offered at the basic and basic intermediate level and for those students who want to progress and learn more detailed aspects of the language little provision is made. It is very frustrating for these individuals who want to go beyond the basics to hear

Spanish people complain that expats do not want to learn the language. For pensioners trying to manage on a small fixed income the luxury of expensive courses, private colleges or private tutors is impossible.

The curricular content of language courses need to be tailored to the needs of non Spanish retirees who have invested heavily in Orihuela Costa. Politicians who readily squander money on unnecessary cultural events in Orihuela should use some of this rate payer’s cash to ensure that sufficient and relevant language courses are offered to expats to enable them cope with life in Spain.

BIKER CLOCKED AT OVER DOUBLE THE SPEED LIMIT A Guardia Civil radar speed trap caught a motorcyclist speeding this week, as the 29 year old rider was speeding along the road in the municipality of Narón.

The incident occurred on Wednesday when a speed trap was set up on the AP-9 motorway as it runs through the city, when the biker shot past the Traffico officers on the 90kph restricted section, clocking up 188 kilometres per hour.

The area is said to have been near to industrial units and one of the main areas where traffic flow can be particularly dense at certain times of day.The officers arrested the rider, a resident of Ferrol, for a serious crime against road safety by means of reckless driving.

LÍNEA DIRECTA’s WINTER DRIVING

Línea Directa is one of the key players in the fight to reduce the number of accidents on our roads. For almost 20 years, it has promoted research into accident rates in order to encourage safe driving habits.

Due to the risks involved with driving in winter months, it now offers advice on how to act in adverse weather conditions.

With respect to the car: Check your car, especially the mechanical components. Pay attention to brakes, lights, windscreen wipers and break fluid, antifreeze and oil levels.

Don’t forget to check the condition of your tyres including the spare wheel, checking pressure, tread and the grooves of each tyre, which must have a minimum depth of 1.6mm.

Always take a reflective jacket, two warning triangles and a torch with you. Also ensure that your mobile is charged in case you need to use it in an emergency.

With respect to driving: If you often drive in snow, consider buying winter tyres. In any case, avoid any sudden movements and, as a general rule, do not overtake. Take special care with snow which has turned into ice and always drive at low speeds.

If it is foggy or raining, adapt your speed and distance from the vehicle ahead to the weather conditions. Do not brake suddenly to avoid skidding.

Aim the vehicle’s heating system at the windows to prevent them from fogging up as a result of humidity.

When overtaking, reaching crossroads, leaving tunnels and in open spaces, be careful with any sudden gusts of wind, which might lead to a loss of steering and the vehicle overturning.

‘Twitters from the Atlantic’ By Bar rie Mahoney Barrie Mahoney was a head teacher and school inspector in the UK, as well as a reporter in Spain, before moving to the Canary Islands to launch and edit a new English language newspaper. He enjoys life in the sun as a columnist and author, and continues to write a series of popular novels, books for expats, as well as designing mobile apps and websites to promote the Canary Islands.

THE MUSICAL ONION MAN The sound of a flute playing a short piercing melody interrupted my writing this morning. I looked out of the window and spotted a tall, young man standing in his jeep playing a flute. In the back of the battered old vehicle were boxes of dried, plump onions. After a second or two of playing his cheerful tune, he would drive the vehicle a little further down the road, where he would stop, pick up his flute and repeat the melody.

Sadly, he had chosen the wrong time of day, as most of our neighbours were out at work, but one elderly woman did buy a string of onions from him. I could hear laughter from the old woman in response to his cheeky banter, as his vehicle turned and swept out of sight.

This brief incident reminded me of a story that my mother told me long ago about Spanish onion sellers who used to travel from village to village in the UK selling strings of onions from their bicycles. The same onion sellers used to appear at about the same time each year, and village folk would look forward to their visits and often buy strings of onions from them. Spanish onions have, of course, a welldeserved reputation for being particularly delicious, as, it would seem, did many of the onion sellers.

I remember a story about one of my mother’s teenage girl friends

who, over a period of two or three years, received regular visits from a Spanish onion seller. By all accounts, he was a particularly handsome and rugged young man, who always had a friendly banter with all he met, whether or not they bought onions from him. He became particularly friendly with one pretty young woman, and it was quickly noticed by many in the village that her family was receiving rather more visits and a greater share of onions than most. It didn't take the village gossips long to work out that the young woman was receiving a great deal more than onions from this attractive young man Matters in the village became rather unpleasant and the young woman quickly became ostracised by those who thought that she was “behaving no better than she should”. However, the story ended happily because, one day, the onion seller appeared for the final time and whisked the young woman off to Spain on his bicycle where they lived happily ever after, or so the story sounded to my young ears.

As a child, I used to wonder how exactly a grown man and woman, complete with luggage and a generous supply of onions could actually cycle from rural England to sunny Spain, but I guess where romance is concerned, anything is possible. My mother never heard

from her friend again, but she did once receive word from another friend that the young woman eventually married the onion seller and made her home in Spain, where the happy couple bred a new generation of onion sellers.

As I listened to our musical onion seller disappearing down the road in his battered vehicle, I wondered, fleetingly, if this young man could somehow be a descendent of my mother’s onion seller? I guess, where romance is concerned, anything is possible.

180s: Joe Miller, Shaun Smith (Hyenas), Derek Kingsbury, Patrick Abrams, Paul Durrant (Meerkats), Sid Cross x2 (Hattons Hunks), Mark Filer (Busters), Mike Smith (Breakaways Bears) Highest finish: Alex Nikolov (Meerkats) 141 Hub Meerkats keep their 100% record at the expense of the Hyenas who lose their unbeaten record after a successful 9 match run. It was a noisy good humoured affair, Hyenas captain Simon Williams making himself heard above all others with Eddie Bendelow seemingly making a full recovery from last week´s “CHOKINGGATE” experience, only to be questioned this week over his counting ability.

Geordie Boy is big enough, well nearly, to overcome these minor hiccups.

The match got off to a lively start, Hyenas Lee Holtham 140 and Joe Miller 121 top scoring, Pat Abrams 140 replying for the Kats to leave Lee Maiden D5 to pinch the opening leg. The high scoring continued in the second Miller 100 and Shaun Smith 123 giving the Hyenas a decent lead. Abrams, returning to form after a two week lean spell, replied with 100,135 and then did the unmentionable of splitting D10 with his second arrow, then meaning to bust with his third, throwing down the board´s left hand side but hitting a single 8 leaving D1. He wasn’t popular. Captain Derek Kingsbury however got him out of trouble next throw. A ton from Alex Nikolov in the second triples wasn’t enough as the vociferous Williams 140 set up Richie Weaver for D16 and the Hyenas first leg. Williams decided to play first in the pairs with Smith 100 and they looked good against the powerful Abrams and Maiden. The latter somehow bust 115 but this time Abrams came to the rescue on D10. John Eyre made it 4-1 leaving Nikolov and Paul Durrant facing Holtham and Geoff Harvey. A pretty good leg followed Holtham 83,100 and Harvey 83 was countered with Durrant´s 5 throws of 4x80 plus and D20 first dart to make it 5-

1 at half time. After some healthy fish and chips Holtham had the throw against Abrams in the first single and promptly pegged a 140, the Meerkats response was 100,121 but the Hyena got to the double first and took out D10. Miller 100,128 took the next to make some sort of result for the Hyenas a distinct possibility. The in-form Smith was next to record his third and fourth tons of the night with 140 and 160 against Durrant 85,100 and a wired D20 for a 112 out. Smith had already had darts for a winning leg only for the Meerkat to hit D20 next dart to get at least a draw for his team. Kingsbury 121 made it 7 legs, his opponent Andy Brooker 95,99 putting in a good performance.

Maiden made it 8-3 on D5 v. Weaver 100 which left Nikolov 100 with the throw against Jim Underwood. The Hyena gave a good account of himself hitting D10 after scoring 100 and 133. Williams´ side actually scored 2 more tons, 15, than the opposition showing the scores not quite reflecting the result.

Hattons Hunks bounced back from a disappointing defeat last week to comfortably defeat the Tavern at Villamartin and move up one place in the league table. To be fair the Taverners have several players in the UK at present, but the Hunks performance was more like what they are capable of. A D14 from Taverner Justin Hepburn gave the home side a good start but that was the sole leg for the hosts in the first half. A spirited fight back in the singles meant shared spoils for both sides. Ivan Jones 2x100, Ralph Wetherby and Mike Snow winning for the Tavern, to give the hosts their overall 4 legs. Stewart McCulloch 114 ensured a point for the Hunks leaving Sid Cross to take the glory and match against Hepburn. Joe Hawkins got the Hunks their 8th leg, contributing 5x100 during the evening. Cross matched Hawkins 5 with 3x100,125,137. Two great individual performances despite 5 legs finishing on D1.

Porterhouse were looking for a victory against Breakaways Bears to keep in touch with the top 4 and they nearly did it, but for a last leg win from Sarah Simpson to earn the Bears a draw. The valuable point however is not enough to even keep them in 5th spot as the Hunks victory leap frogs them from 6th place. Porter Ray Hayes got the hosts off to a flyer with 101 and a double, the advantage negated by a 140 from Jay Sharp and a 110,D4 via Mel Dawson in the first triple.

Yvonne Rouffignac D20 made it 2-1 before Peter Ayres D5 increased the lead to 2 even after a 180 from Mike Smith. Sharp D18 and Sue Wiles D6 levelled for the Bears for even stevens at half time. Smith put the Bears in front for the first time with a fine 72 out (S12,S20,D20) Wiles increasing the lead to 3-5 by hitting D2 last dart.

Captain Ray Sanderson came to the Porters rescue claiming the 9th leg from Kat Bryan. Ayres made it all square with just two to play. Brian Nash threw second in the 11th scoring 140. Jay Sharp, playing well of late, kept pace with the Porter, but it was Nash D6 who secured the leg and all important lead, which left the ever improving Simpson to earn her team a draw.

Busters keep up the pressure at the top after crushing bottom placed PB´s Pirates. The home side´s two victories came via Michelle Lane and Brian Mears. The journey from Playa Flamenca to Los Dolses didn’t have any effect on Paul Dowinton who registered an excellent 100,4x140 and a 96 game shot. Peter O´Rourke 2x100 and further tons from Will Drummond and Ray Harvey completed the rout. Que Pasa enjoyed a fine win over the Honeys, nearly as much as they enjoyed the half time spare ribs and curry. John Walker once again starred for the Eagles with 4x100,125 and 3 game shots. Joe Cuyt

assisted with 100,120 whilst Jim Waddell had 2 game shots. Not a bad tally of 10 tons for the Eagles who sit in a comfortable third place.

Top scores for the Honeys were Ray Green 2x100 and Simone De Lacey 80 and 109.

Gogarty´s continue their climb up the table with their 6th win of the season when they played the Kings of Pint Depot. The visitors took an early 2 leg lead through Kevin Procktor D2 and Ernie Wilson D8 and fully expected to win the third after leading by 208 points sitting on a double. It didn’t happen, as Eddie Fozzard found what Gogarty´s couldn’t, a double, this time D12. The girl of the moment Cynthia Jevons and John Linton added two more legs to the visitors tally, leaving Ian Sleath to complete the first half and a 2-4 score line. Matt Cummins reduced the deficit further only for Wilson to restore the 2 leg advantage. Steve Woods got the draw for the Gophers courtesy of a great 80 out on D8. Sleath kept the Kings´ hopes of a draw alive playing Jevons, only for Richard Patterson D2 to win the match in the 11th leg. Gopher Elaine Willis completed the match.

Poor old Queen Debbie Wright firstly getting married and now having to undergo a knee operation, confining the Royal to a deserved rest.

We wish her well. As close as it is at the top of the table its even closer at the other end. The Queens 3 legs keeps them above the Pirates, but only just. But guess who is playing each other next week, none other than the Queens v. PB´s Pirates.

In this week´s match Madigans opened a 2 leg advantage via George Cain and Pete James. Vi Turner pulled one back for the Royal family on D3 and also top scored with 120. Misfit John Ashworth D2 and Karl Cooper 100,81 gave the home side their 3rd leg despite some good scoring from Marie Dunne. Ron Young 100,D2 made it 4 for Madigans, leaving just the one leg to play before the break. Cain paired with Zoe James the former hitting 95,91 leaving James D18 for a 5-1 lead. Sonya Cooper now playing left handed due to her keep fit injury faced Ann Griffiths who showed too much sympathy to let in her ambidextrous opponent to make it 6-1 on D4. Turner D6 and then Rachael Broadhead D18 made it 6-3 for the Royals with 3 to play.

The very capable Pete James was next, playing the just as capable Cheryl Sleath. James was quickly out of the trap scoring a fine 140.

5 throws later he required 85 and promptly hit S15,S20 and bull for a professional finish. Young made it 8-3 on D2 despite some good scoring from Queen Dunne. The last leg featured a very high scoring leg from Cooper and Lorraine Cox the Misfit just edging out the visitor for a 9-3 score.

TMGS – VILLAMARTIN We had a few cancellations due to the prospect of rain but those that did cancel missed out on what turned out to be a decent day for a game of golf and in the end, 25 of us ploughed our way around the improving Villamartin track with only one very brief miniscule drop of rainfall.

All four NTP’s were claimed and the recipients of a very splendid bottle of wine were Vernon Brown, Robbie Rae, Peter Wells and Alan Rickers.

The Silver boys fared fairly well and Colin Marsden’s 29 points were enough to secure 4th spot and 30 points was enough for Per Skarnes to claim 3rd place. However, they were a long way behind Alex Goslan’s 35 points for the runners-up slot and the Solver Honours went to Robbie Rae with 36 points. Methinks he will be in the do-do when his “better half” finds out he put his win down to the fact that she wasn’t there and therefore, he wasn’t under any kind of handicap.

Time to cover the family jewels Robbie, they might be in danger of as right knees up, and I don’t mean of the party kind.

The Gold lot didn’t fare much better and it only needed a 30 pointer from Alan Rickers to take 4th, Richard Wale’s 31 took 3rd and that left Dag Lomas with 33 to secure the runner-up slot and Vernon Browns 36 took top spot in that division. Photo is of the Gold Category Winners.

Our next game, Wednesday 4th December 2013, see’s us at the Marmite of golf courses, Las Ramblas where we will be holding a Texas Scramble 4 ball event followed by our Christmas Dinner so if you fancy a game just look at our website www.tmgs.org or call the Match Secretary on 966719604.

LA MARINA BALDRICKS GOLF SOCIETY @ VISTABELLA Texas Scramble for the Final Whistle Trophy A beautiful sunny, but windy and quite cold day greeted us at Vistabella as the Baldricks made their debut appearance here.

Several members had played here before, but for most of those present today, including myself, it was a first.

Today was a Texas scramble format, the second of the year for the Final Whistle Trophy.

The first of 5 teams of 4 teed off into a stiff breeze at 0945 on what proved to be a very challenging day’s golf on a difficult but fair course. The greens in particular were very quick and difficult to read, resulting in many 3 puts. The team, who got to grips with the course best, were the 1st team out consisting of: Trevor Hayman, Geoff Marlow, Geoff Ettridge and Roger Nickolds, they had a net handicap of 10.3 and returned an excellent winning score of 64.7. 2nd with 66.9 were John Haigh, John Moss, Andy Giles and Steve Chapman. 3rd with 68.7 were Nigel Bailey, Keith Whitton, Bill Street and Cameron Scammell.

There were 3 nearest the pin holes and our Captain Bill Street, henceforth to be known as El Bandido won all 3, to say he was smug about this is an understatement.

2 longest drive holes, 1 for the first and 1 for the second division were contested. Geoff Cooper won the 2nd div with a terrific drive, but no one from the 1st div got a ball on the fairway, we high handicappers had a little chuckle at that.

Feedback from the day seemed to indicate the vast majority enjoyed

LEADER ‘MIKE PROBERT TALKS GOLF ADVERTISING HOTLINE

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 Prober Probertt of Costa Blanca Green 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 competitions.

Seasonal Golf Pricing Love it or hate it but our Spanish hosts continue to apply a strategy of seasonal pricing where the base price of golf varies throughout the year and good or bad it is here with us to stay until there is some dramatic change on the market place. The good news is that with effect from 1st December 2013 most of the local golf courses apply their LOW SEASON tariffs that will stay in place until 28th February 2014 so fill your boots with these low prices while they are available.

The other good news is that as most of the courses are relatively quiet over these winter months with tourists being in short supply and many residents returning back to the UK for Christmas and the New Year, the pace of play can be quicker and 5 hour rounds should not exist at these times.

Leader Christmas Competition As reported last week due to overwhelming demand this years LEADER Christmas Competition to be held at Vistabella on Saturday 14th December 2013 is now FULLY BOOKED and you will find a copy of the start sheet in this weeks issue of the newspaper.

the venue. The course only having 11 holes and playing 7 holes twice, though from different tees did nothing to detract from an excellent day and we will certainly be back at Vistabella again.

On completion we mustered back at the Final Whistle for the presentations and excellent buffet provided by Mel’s Kitchen and a curry from Stella.

Michael Reeves (Mick the Grip) arrived for the presentations and to sell raffle tickets on behalf of the British Legion Poppy Appeal. Mick also kindly donated prizes for the winning team and nearest the pin.

The €20 raised from the scratch card draw, won by golden balls Keith Whitton, was used to buy raffle tickets and in all we raised €155 for the appeal, so thanks to all who bought tickets.

The next golf date is 12th December at La Finca, for the Ged Beecroft Memorial Trophy, so hopefully a good turnout for this event folks.

The AGM will be held in the Final Whistle at 1700 on 3rd December, so all members who can please be there. For any info on the Baldricks contact Steve on 634 352 903. chappysj@hotmail.com

BUSY WEEK AT EUROGOLF It has been a busy week for the society, 24 players took part in our away day at Alenda on Sunday 24 November. It was a cold start with temperatures at 4û and although conditions were good the cold weather and long course meant that few people achieved high scores. Well done to Paul Manning who won the day with 36 points.

68 players were due to take part in our Chuck Martinez Memorial Trophy on Thursday 28thNovember 2013 at our home course of La Marquesa Golf Course. The format of this competition was a Medford i.e. Medal for the first nine holes followed by a Stableford for the back nine with the Stableford points being deducted from the nett medal score. As the weather conditions deteriorated early on some players gave up after a few holes and other decided not to start. Those that decided to either continue playing or start were surprised to finish the round without getting wet. The wind got up towards the end of the round making playing conditions a bit more challenging. Ian wants to apologise to Phyllis as her leg managed to stop his ball going into the ditch on the second, he hopes the bruise is not too horrific.

The results were as follows: Gold Division: 1st Robin Richards 15 points, 2nd Malcolm Foskett 18 points, 3rd Bob Buckeridge 21 points Silver Division: 1st Ken Enever 22 points c/b, 2nd Tony Stanley 22 points, 3rd Dave Nicholls 23 points Bronze Division: 1st Colin Hobden 16 points, 2nd Gill Britten 22 points, 3rd Phyllis Venables 25 points Nearest the Pins: 5th n/a, 11th Phyllis Venables, 12th n/a, 15th Bob Buckeridge, 17th Malcolm Foskett, Best front 9: Terry Sharley 35 shots nett, Best back 9 John Fairhurst 19 points

SUDOKU SOLUTION

Our monthly meeting with Royal British Legion on Thursday, 21 November, was played in summer-like weather after several previous cold, windy days. As usual, an enjoyable match with EI winning on four of the seven rinks, but by only shot on two rinks. These games are getting closer.

On Friday, 22nd, EI Claymores headed for San Luis on a bright but chilly afternoon and as the sun went down it was difficult to see the jack from one end. Nevertheless, it was a good game with the Claymores going down by 10 points to 4 and a shot difference of 111 to 87.

On the same day the Cavaliers entertained San Miguel Cougars and continued their good form winning on four of the six rinks. However, the shot difference was just two shots, 97 to 95 giving us 10 points to 4 - a close but good win.

Monday, 25th saw the Moonrakers visit Greenlands to play the Sycamores on another sunny but chilly morning, and a good close game ended with three winning rinks each with the shot difference going to the home team, 107 shots to 91, hence 8 points to Greenlands, 6 points to EI, but 6 points away from home ain't that bad!

The Neptunes also played on 25th at home to La Siesta Sputniks but things aren't going too well for the Neptunes at the moment.

Hopefully we can only get better and not let things get us down. With 112 shots to 84 and 12 points to 2, the Neptunes is not the only team in the Leagues to suffer, so chins up and get it right next time - you can do it.

COUNTRY BOWLS CLUB

By Lynne Bishop I have to begin with some very sad news, two of our former members have lost their battle this week against ill health. Jane Chapman, widow of the late David who died earlier this year passed away in a hospice in England and Victor Statham, husband of Doreen lost his fight after a year long illness, unfortunately never recovering from a recent operation, our prayers were with them all the way, heartfelt sympathy to their families.

On the green both teams have had some disappointing results! The Southern league Ramblers achieved two wins playing the Blues at La Siesta last Friday afternoon, the teams of Harold Morris, Brian Ray & George Thomson won 15-9 and Pat Patton, Geoff Paylor & Brian Patton won 20-15. Jenny Chaplin, Charlie Watkins & Ken Cuthbert were gutted after winning all the way then lost by one shot on the last end!

This week the Ramblers were away at Greenlands where they were victorious over their mighty Oaks. Three winning rinks each but the long game went to us by a massive one shot! Well done Andy White, Sue & Barry Norris for winning 24-12, Pat Patton, Geoff Paylor & Brian Patton 18-13 and Harold Morris, John Palmer & George Thomson 17-14. Overall shots, Ramblers 100 (8) - 99 (6) Oaks.

The Supernovas also had two away games, last week they travelled all the way to La Marina and picked up just two points, winning team was Sandra Mcilroy, Les Turner & Brian Kirk 14 -13 phew! Overall shots, Supernovas 62 (2) - 142 (12) Explorers.

This week they were at the Emerald Isle against the Titans, once again they picked up two points and that came from Maurice Cass, John Wright & John Palmer. Overall shots, Supernovas 60 (2) - 135 (12) Titans.

The laying of our replacement carpet has been put back once again, the date we have now been given is 2nd January, happy bowling everyone.

GREENLANDS BOWLS CLUB

Sponsored by Totus and Dragon Insurance Another victory, this time against last seasons champions San Miguel, for our winter league team, kept up the pressure on leaders San Luis. Wins on 3 rinks, plus a shared shots difference of 87 apiece, gave them a 7-5 scoreline. Well done: B Collins, J Westall, L Miller, C Chapman 22-14. S Heath, L Morris, B Miller, B Pocock 23-9. S Johnson, S Gray, S Westall, T Hill 18-12.

Unfortunately, the Berleen side slipped to a 4 shots defeat.

In the SABA league there were wins for 2 of our 3 teams.

Chestnuts entertained El Rancho Pintos, winning on 4 rinks, and overall shots, gave them 10 points. Muy bien: J Thompson, A Butterworth, J Wray 26-7. J & D Webb, J McClean 20-15. S Hewett, E Merrick, H Cork 19-11. B Norris, D Thompson, C Dewar 23-11. Sycamores picked up 8 points against Emerald Isles Moonrakers, courtesy of wins on 3 rinks, plus O/S. Excellent: B Doran, J Reeves, G Inwood 21-9. M Gray, D Watt, S Gray 13-12. T Lawton, P Tomkins, T Upham 24-7. Those Maples are currently on a run of bad results.

At La Siesta, they went down 212 against the Apollos, with only this trio collecting points: S Stead, S Heath, T Hill 19-17.

Fourteen bowlers participated in the recent Saturday Totus and Dragon Insurance Challenge. D Dudding top scored to win brandy, Joan Oliver (2nd) beer, D Bray & J Reeves (3rd & 4th) wine, were the weeks prize winners. That elusive spoon went to Margaret Haig.

Against the Seagulls, 3 rinks were won, whilst the O/S was shared 101-101. And the winners are: M Gray, F Edwards, T Upham 26-15. D Fryatt, G Watt, J Wilcock 20-19. F Tilley, P Lockley, M Edwards 16-14.

ELCHE LIKE LIFE IN LA LIGA ELCHE CF ...2 VALENCIA ..1 ELCHE CF ....0 ATH MADRID...2 A week ago yesterday saw Elche field a

BY JOHN strange side for the local derby, where onMCGREGOR loan-from-Valencia Carles Gil didn’t play for the home side, probably politically .

One of last year’s promotional successes Rivera took his place for his first game of the season, with Coro still on the bench. In midfield everpresent Ruben Perez was out, his place taken by the Bosnian international Stevanovic, alongside Carlos Sanchez with Javi Marquez starting the game. Left back and dead ball specialist Edu Albacar was back after six weeks from injury, Cisma having deputised well. The new visitors section of the Martino Valero, high up in one corner was packed with noisy black, white and orange fans.

The pattern of the game was soon apparent as the visitors hit the bar on the quarter hour, looking a fast and efficient side, with Elche making several crucial, but unpunished errors, especially in midfield where Carlos Sanchez twice lost possession. Boakye managed one wayward shot in the first half, although time and again Valencis had chances with Elche goalkeeper Manu Herrera performing miracles. Diego Costa wraps up the A minute from half-time Fidel was Photo: KEVIN RENDALL put clear through, but irritatingly hit the ball straight at the goalkeeper, half-time surprisingly still 0 – 0.

Only eight minutes into the second half and a thundering free-kick from the visitors hit the bar; by now Elche could have been four down.

On the hour Coro replaced the disappointing Stevanovic, and immediately Elche were awarded a free kick wide left, just inside the Valencia

half. ‘Welcome back’ Albacar’s long chip was beautifully flicked just inside the far post by Fidel, making amends for his earlier miss to put the Franjiverdes ahead and silence the opposition’s supporters. Back stormed Valencia and twice in quick succession the ball was cleared off the Elche line before with 18 minutes to go the visitors scored, at last, to cheer their faithful fans. But instead of going on to win it, the reverse happened: the final Elche substitute Christian came on to make his debut, and in a ‘Roy-of-the-Rovers’ moment was put through

by Coro to crack in the undeserved winner with five frantic minutes left. But Elche survived to take all three points, and leave their neighbours stunned and speechless. But hey, that’s football…

Only six days later and another big home game saw some necessary

points for Athletico Madrid changes made, with Ruben Perez back to face his old club, Carles Gil re-instated and Coro also back, arguably Elche’s strongest side. Could lightning strike twice and Elche repeat their trick on Athletico ? Well, for an hour the Illicitanos held out against a surprisingly subdued visiting attack, the home defence performing well and only the occasional effort troubling Herrera. Elche’s left winger Fidel can be extremely irritating to watch, he sees so much of the ball, but does so little with it.

However on 24 minutes he found space down the middle and for once laid on a beauty for Boakye, but the big Ghananian striker blasted the ball miles over.

Oh, how that miss was costly, never again did Elche threaten as the visitors class became more and more evident. On the hour and an innocent-looking low Valencian cross was spilled by Herrera and from close in Koko scored, but it was hardly unexpected. As usual Elche coach Fran Escriba rang all three changes in an effort to get something from the game, but with 15 minutes left it was all over as the ball was chipped forward over Elche’s defence and a grateful Diego Costa made no mistake to wrap it up for Athletico to deservedly take all three points.

Yes, so Elche lost to Athletico, but as the mighty Madrid side put seven goals past no-slouches Getafe last week it was no disgrace. And yes, they were lucky against neighbours Valencia, but Elche have already played better and lost this scintillating season, at last back in the rarified strata of the top of Spanish football - the one that took them 24 years to rejoin. With statistics like won 4, drawn 5 and lost 6 that provides 17 priceless points which put the Illicitanos firmly in mid-table, and higher than some big Spanish names.

Mucho Elche!

TORRY SLUMP TO UNEXPECTED DEFEAT CD ACERO.................2 FC TORREVIEJA....1

With CD Acero floundering at the bottom FC Torrevieja trotted out onto the El Formas Stadium expecting little more than a formality in picking up the points. Even without the injured Carrasco and Alexis and despite the decision not to include the new boy, former La Liga player Raul Martin, surely the three points were there for the taking......but the Torrevejense were in for a rude awakening with Carrion called on to make a smart save from Will as early as the 2nd minute.

Moments later it was the turn of livewire Alberto Bielsa to test the Torry keeper after a stray header from Dani Mesegeur . Acero’s leading scorer hit his shot low and under the body of the advancing Carrion to put the home side into the lead. At this stage the visitors were in complete disarray.

Alberto Bielsa was proving a handful and midway through the half Carrion had to be at his best to block his fierce drive.

With 10 minutes of the half remaining and with Torry still under the cosh a rare sortie into the Acero area saw Alberto float an exquisite ball to Obele who rose high above the defence to direct a powerful header home. The goal was very much against the run of play but enough to allow the visitors time to regroup on level terms during the half time interval.

Unfortunately the half time cuppa provided the only respite for the visitors as the home side continued to dominate. Torry’s busiest player was the keeper Carrion who was called into action far too often as Acero pressed forward for the second goal.

Defensive mix up’s allowed scoring opportunities for both David and Will during the opening minutes but both squandered good chances when they should have done better. Alberto Bielsa was also guilty of a glaring miss when slicing wide with only Carrion to beat.

But despite all the pressure they were under Micro and Rafa both had opportunities to win it for the visitors late on. Unfortunately both came up short when it looked far easier to score. And then we had the killer punch as Joan ghosted in to meet a deep free kick with just 5 minutes remaining. The big defender had all the space that he needed to fire the home side to only their 3rd win of the season.

CF MIL PALMERAS

Junior Strikers 3 Mil Palmeras 0 Prebenjamin 2006 - Sponsored by Sunshine fm 102.8 Probably the best performance of the season so far with a change of tactics pushing higher up the pitch it allowed us to create a few more goalscoring attempts than we have been doing so far this season. And we managed to put them on the back foot for a lot of the game.

Unfortunately though at 1-0 we were still in the game but we gave them a silly goal and before we knew it we were out of the game.

Great effort from all players. Man of the match Dylan Cooke.

CD Cox 5 Mil Palmeras 0 In total contrast to the first game this was a very substandard performance from the Toros and we never got started. We looked tired and perhaps the early start caught up with us. Too many lacklustre performances all over the pitch cost us any chance in this game. We need to improve in passing at times when we are simply giving the ball to the opposition and not making them work to score goals. Nevertheless it was good experience for this young team. Player of the match. Lacey Bradley.
