MEDIEVAL MARKET RETURNS TO ORIHUELA

This weekend sees the eagerly awaited return to one of the most popular and biggest events to take to the streets of Orihuela, the Medieval Market, 2014, which opens on Friday.

The 42,000 euro contract was awarded to the company, La Asociación Cultural Destellos, the only bidder to stage the event, a theatrical company founded in 1986 that works with the PirámideArt of Alicante and with the support of an international street theatre group, the Festival Internacional de Teatro en la Calle, or FITEC. Not knowing how many companies would bid, it is natural for those looking to receive the award to propose improvements and added value to their service provision, one such development to this year´s event is lighting for both the streets and the iconic Orihuela buildings.

Launching the event this week, the councillor for festivities, Carolina Gracia of the PSOE, along with representatives of historic groups in the municipality, detailed how the event this year will see a total of 151

entertainment activities on the streets.

Whilst presenting the poster, advertising and television campaign for this year´s event, Gracia explained how this festival is important for the profile of Orihuela, attracting both residents and holidaying tourists alike, and allows the monuments of the city to be seen for the value they hold.

Gracia went on to detail how the events will be spread over the 3 days of the festival, with 49 on Friday, 52 on Saturday and 50 on Sunday, which will include parades , dance, theatre , exhibitions and musical performances.

The site of both the market and parade will be almost identical to last year, although it is hoed without the addition of the high winds that caused a number of problems to both stall holders and visitors, but the main starting point will be different and be on Plaza de Santiago, to the entrance to the city of Santo Domingo Church.

Antonio Manuel García Alcocer, President of the Asociación de Fiestas de Moros y Cristianos, further emphasised the role of the market as “one of the most important held in Spain”, as it is in a “unique environment”, of the cultural on history rich streets.

AIR TRAVEL STRIKE DISRUPTION THIS WEEK

The airways of the world may face disruption this week, after industrial action was called by the European representatives of 28 unions and over 14,000 controllers, ATCEUC. Air traffic controllers are protesting against plans from the European Commission to cut costs which they say will reduce safety in the skies.

In a statement, ATCEUC stated that in October, they were “given assurances that the European Commission (EC) was finally willing to discuss our views on the performance scheme, regarding the lack of real safety targets and the unrealistic cost efficiency targets”. Continuing, “Although ATCEUC has repeatedly shown its commitment to a real discussion, the EC has continuously disregarded our opinion. This forces ATCEUC, once again, to stand firm by resuming ATCEUC Action Day!” As a result, industrial action was planned across

Europe for the 29th of January, although the anticipated extent of disruption will vary from country to country, with some intending to participate for just 15 minutes, others for days on end. Second to that action, the European Transport Federation (EFT) also called for a strike on the 30th of January.

In France, Air Traffic Controllers called for a 5-day strike from the 27th to the 31st, later to cancel this action but participate in the action on the 30th of January. They also have a meeting to discuss this on Tuesday the 28th.

In Italy, Controllers have currently agreed to strike between 12:00 and 16:00 on the 29th, and from 14:00 to 14:15 on the 30th of January.

In Germany, Lufthansa asked a Munich court to stop their air traffic controllers joining the strike, saying it was “political” and “illegal”. The industrial action here has been cancelled, but with no reason given by the unions.

The Portuguese union called for a strike on the 29th of January between 07:00 and 09:00, and from 14:00 to 16:00.

In Slovakia, the union has announced participation to the strike on 30th of January for 2 hours between 08:00 and 10:00, whereas in the Czech Republic, they currently plan to join in the strike between 06:00 and 18:00 on the 30th, “Working strictly according to the paper”.

Hungary, Austria and Cyprus have also issued notice of their involvement, but all of these plans are subject to change, and cancellation, as the dates creep nearer.

All times quoted are in UTC, which is also known as GMT, and need altering depending on your own location. As always in situations like this, the advice is to check with your airline before you travel.

OVER THIRTEEN THOUSAND RESCUED AT SEA IN 2013

hroughout Spain, the official emergency service responsible for managing rescues at sea, the Sociedad de Salvamento y Seguridad MarĂ­tima, who operate on behalf of the Ministerio de Fomento, coordinated the rescue, support or search for 13,090 people during 2013, an equivalent of 36 per day, as well as an additional 5,121 other maritime based activities, or 14 per day on average.

These figures represent an increase of 1% in terms of the number of activities, and a staggering 10% increase of people involved compared to data from 2012.

Perhaps no surprise that the number one activity of the year was relating to saving lives at sea, with 4,067 such rescues. In addition, there were 679 safety checks at sea and 375 activities which related to the protection

T

of the marine environment.

In terms of the total number of vessels involved, in 2013 that figure reached 3,789 compared to 3,449 in 2012. Of these, over 50%, some 1,927 were recreational craft, of the remaining, 667 were fishing boats and 452 were merchant vessels. The remaining 743 cases were related to other types of ships and floating structures.

The rescue teams manage safety in a vast area of Spain, with the sea surface covering three times the size of the national land mass, looking after some 1,500,000 square kilometres of sea surface, compared to the 505,992 square kilometres of land mass.

The coastline alone, including the mainland and the Balearic and Canary Islands, is a huge distance of 7,880 kilometres.

When you consider that the straight line distance from Madrid to New York is 5,783 kilometres, to which a direct

flight on a commercial jet would take 8 hours, and Madrid to Mumbai 7,549 kilometres a flight which would take around 12 hours, it shows the immense distance and area covered.

The overall operation is conducted as a public company, which has a team of more than 1,500 workers, on 24-hour alert, to respond to all emergencies that may arise at sea.

They have 73 marine units, of different types, from salvage vessels to patrol boats, equipped to address all types of emergencies that may arise in the marine environment. In addition, they have 11 helicopters equipped to carry out rescue work of human life and air reconnaissance, as well as 3 airplanes equipped to search specifically for shipwrecks and the detection of spills in the marine environment.

SUPREME COURT OPPOSES POLICEMEN AWARDED TORREVIEJA MAYOR 45,000 EUROS IN DAMAGES judge in Elche’s Administrative Court No.1 Elche conCLEMENCY APPLICATION Ademned Alejandro Morer, Torrevieja’s Chief of Police, for The Civil and Criminal Court of the Superior Court of Justice of the Valencian Community (TSJCV), has opposed the clemency application made by the former mayor of Torrevieja, Pedro Hernández Mateo, sentenced to three years in prison for forgery and breach of trust.

The courts have rejected both a partial and complete pardon for his crimes which he had been found guilty off through the entire legal and appeals process, remaining free after a petition was launched to keep him from serving his prison term.

The decision comes two months after the petition led application was handed to the courts, a petition signed and supported by many of his Partido Popular colleagues, including the current mayor of the city, Eduardo Dolón, despite the ruling of the judiciary.

A counter petition to ensure he served his prison term was also launched, obtaining considerably more signatures than the campaign for his freedom. Equally, the case split comment with many politicians largely supporting his clemency, largely from the PP, as opposed to others wanting justice to be served and even judges coming out opposing clemency for political applicants. The opposition PSOE even filed for a change of the law, which would prevent criminally convicted politicians from remaining beyond the law.

However, the final decision still remains with the Ministry of Justice, where sources stated that they had not received notice of the reports by the TSJCV, but once filed the Government will consider the application and documentation, which can take between 6 months and a year more.

Hernández Mateo was sentenced to three years in prison for the crime of forgery and other malfeasance during the award of the contract for garbage collection in Torrevieja in 2004.

bullying three of his officers on Monday, ordering the city to pay 45,000 plus interest as compensation for their suffering.

The applicants had claimed 60,000 euros in a lawsuit that was filed in 2006 and has taken 7 years to be concluded.

The policemen were said to have been picked on and regularly harassed by Morer, their productivity bonuses withheld, their holidays unreasonably refused, while they were assigned to menial tasks.

The judge said that he was making the awards because the three officers, all members of the Comisiones Obreras, the Police Union, had suffered professional moral damage and their rights had been continually ignored.

The Anti-Corruption Platform ‘Defensa de la Huerta’ have asked the police to carry out an investigation following the discovery of a coffin amongst the debris in a refuse tip situated on the edge of the grounds at Rojales cemetery.

Regulations require that under cemetery rules coffins should be disposed of in incinerators designed specifically for the purpose and that the find illustrates serious irregularities in regard to public health.

ROADS AND URBAN CLEANING IN ORIHUELA NEWS As part of their contractual obligations to the municipality of Orihuela, water utility company Aguagest provide funding to the town hall for infrastructure improvements, investment or repair.

This year, the coastal zone will receive some 54% of the million euro grant, which will go towards projects such as almost 60,000 euro for drainage work to protect the electricity power transformer at Cabo Roig, over 350,000 euro for channelling work to prevent flooding in the Calle California area and over 110,000 euro towards similar work in the Pau 27 zone. Funding will also go towards flood defence and protection in the Los Filipinas at Villamartin areas.

Friday saw the public consultation meeting at the town hall regarding the proposed closure of access roads from the N-332 roundabout. The councillor for the coast, Martina Scheurer, explained to those attending what steps the town hall team had agreed with the Ministry for roads, including the proposals to apply for the removal of tolls on the motorway, the installation of a mini roundabout at the crossroads access point of the pending emergency coordination centre, and the compromise to make the access roads one-way, rather than a complete closure, all of which were greeted with positivity by the ministerial planning department. Scheurer also detailed the agreements made for the local police to monitor traffic flow and provide detailed reports in time for their next meeting, which will be in a matter of weeks.

The courts in Elche announced this week that the judge looking into the case surrounding the blocking of a censure motion by the Table of Elders plans to issue an interim report on the case on the 6th of February. Although this will not be the final ruling in the case, it is believed that the judge will formally state whether or not a case is answerable or not. Sources at the courts have indicated that this move is an unprecedented one, and would not normally be necessary in the event of the case proceeding through the legal process, and could indicate a faster conclusion to the ruling.

Constantin, to the value of 20,291 euro. The work was seen as necessary due to the inaccessibility of some of the pavements in the area, largely due to roots from ficus plants damaging the pathways, but a lack of adequate lighting also made the area particularly difficult.

Therefore, the plan was adopted to remove 13 ficus and relocate them, remove the terrazzo pavement and replace it with a more sustainable feature, the movement of telegraph poles and the installation of street lighting.

The Mayor of Orihuela, Monserrate Guillén, announced this week that the operation for urban cleaning and waste management ended 2013 with 5,624 euro left in their accounts. Therefore, Guillén explained, has been below the budgeted amount of 8.8 million euro.

However, Guillén also pointed out that the savings to the tax payer have been “considerable”, due to the municipalisation of the service, whereas keeping the contract under the direct control of the town hall has resulted in a 21% saving on paying IVA, plus 6% industrial benefit or 12% overhead s. Therefore, the total amount the residents have been saved by the town hall is between 30% and 40% compared to the contract being run by a private company, which is seen as one of the main priorities of the Partido Popular, along with their CLR colleagues.

The Urban department has received and responded to a total of 135 incidents relating to urban cleaning, excluding those received through the on-line Linea Verde network, which are all either resolved or being resolved. During the financial presentation on savings in urban waste, Guillén said, “I am pleased and proud of the work of the Urban Sanitation employees that have also made an effort to sign the collective agreement”, referring to discussions and agreements made with and supported by the workers for their employment terms.

The department of pedanías, the small villages scattered through the municipality of Orihuela, has started work repairing various roads in the Virgen del Camino area, which have seen considerable neglect for some time. The work was awarded to a company named Elena

The municipal government coalition of the Lose Verdes and PSOE have announced the proposal of a formal motion to the plenary meeting this week, which will be put to the vote, to formally record that the government of Orihuela aims to do everything possible to assist in protection home owners at risk of eviction and foreclosure due to the loss of work or the overall financial situation. The motion will propose two aims, including urging the central government to “develop the third paragraph of the revised text of the Law Regulating Local Tax to define the concept of unoccupied dwelling”, preventing tax increases and other financial burdens on properties which have become vacant, and to urge assurances and legal protection to those who have found themselves unemployed and affected by the financial crisis.

SCHOOL CLOSURE AND BUS LINK IN TORREVIEJA NEWS The provincial president of the Partido Popular, José Císcar, accompanied by the local president and mayor of Torrevieja, Eduardo Dolón, attended a meeting in Torrevieja this week, with Dolón introducing Císcar to the local supporters of the PP for the first time since taking office in 2012. During the meeting, Císcar thanked the members for their support, saying that “these meetings with members and supporters of the PP are very important to carefully pass on the policies that are pursuing both the central government and the Generalitat Valenciana for the economic recovery that will finally reach the family and economies of all citizens, which is ultimately the interest of Partido Popular government”. The PP in Torrevieja has almost 3,000 members, having increased by nearly 1,000 in the past two years, and are considered one of the most important local groups in the province of Alicante, according to Dolón.

Whilst attending lunch at Torrevieja´s Centro de Turismo de Torrevieja, José Císcar predicted that reforms to the application for building permission would be imminent, and that construction companies in the region will soon be able to have a legal tool that simplifies and clarifies the processing of development projects. Císcar explained that the new text brings together five different laws relating to construction, with the aim of “selling the signs of economic recovery”.

The proposed direct bus from Torrevieja to the High Speed train network could be a reality by summer 2014, once the decision had been made as to which station to ferry passengers to. Torrevieja´s Mayor, Eduardo Dolón, had previously said that the launch could happen in a matter of days, but José Císcar wanted to show how the future development would benefit both the construction and hospitality sectors, mentioning an unconfirmed budget of 300,000 euro towards the project. It had been hoped that the combined bus and train tickets could be launched at the FITUR tourism event, but this announcement also seemed a little premature.

The councillor for financial matters in Torrevieja, Joaquín Albaladejo, has announced this week that the city has hired an external legal consultant for 14,000 euro, to enable them to appeal the decision by the tax office to charge the municipality one million euro in IVA for the transfer of land to the Government in order to construct the International Auditorium and Conservatory, the 30 million euro

concert hall that stands largely empty and unused throughout the year.

Albaladejo the situation was due to the “complexity of the tax rules” on the Increase in land value.

The Mayor of Torrevieja, Eduardo Dolón, along with the councillor for tourism, Luis María Pizana, were accompanied by the director of the Chiron hospital, Rafael Giménez, to promote the benefits of the quality tourism and hospital care available in Torrevieja, at the FITUR tourism event in Madrid. With the slogan, “Turismo saludable en Torrevieja, aumenta tu bienestar y calidad de vida”, extolling the virtues of how a holiday in Torrevieja can increase your well-being and quality of life, the presentation spoke of personal health checks, rehabilitation programs, treatments and operations, among other proposals. The focus on health and hospitals, rather than traditional tourism interests, is said to be an innovative product that allows Torrevieja to develop a different, complementary option to the offer of sun and beach tourism in our town”, according to Dolón.

All political parties in Torrevieja now appear to behind a campaign to prevent the closure of another school in the area. A protest march was arranged this week from the Colegio Público Ciudad de Oviedo to the Town hall, with the support of the Izquierda Unida group, after their education representative, Vicente Henarejos, explained that the closure of the school would involve the “undoubted loss of jobs that are no longer required”, mostly by amalgamating students into larger class sized groups at other schools. The school had been operating largely out of “temporary” portacabin units, but was set to close as part of previously reported promises to reduce the number of these types of classes, by creating larger groups. Following the protest decision, the Mayor, Eduardo Dolón, convened an urgent meeting in which it was agreed unanimously by all political parties represented in the City Council to support the allegations and fight to keep the school open. Dolón had said earlier this week that the closure of the school was as a result of the reduc-

tion of students, which, in his view, makes it impossible to keep. He also accused the school board has not showing concern over this matter, stating that he had called a meeting with the Municipal School Board in late December in order for them to submit arguments against this decision, but “no one came”. Dolón has also criticized other political groups of using the school for political gain.

REDUNDANCIES AND STRIKES LEAD THE SPANISH NEWS Unemployment fell by 69,000 people in 2013 compared to 2012, a reduction of 1.1%, seeing the first annual decline since 2007.

Official figures now show the total number of registered unemployed people in Spain to be 5,896,300, the lowest level since the third quarter of 2012. Despite the positive annual figures, the unemployment rate climbed at the end of 2013 to 26.03%, an increase on quarter 2, but almost identical to the 26.02% of the final quarter of 2012, according to data from the Labour Force Survey made public by the National Statistics Institute. However, the annual decline shows a significant change in stability and breaks the trend of the last six years, with an increase in 2007 of 117,000 people, 1,280,300 in 2008, 1,118,600 in 2009, 370,100 in 2010, 577,000 in 2011 and nearly 700,000 people in 2012.

The Iberian partners of drinks manufacturer Coca-Cola presented a redundancy package to unions this week, the result being the closure of their plants in Asturias, Palma, Madrid and Alicante. As a direct result, some 750 workers would lose their jobs and another 500 would be relocated to one of seven of its remaining plants in Spain. In a statement, Coca-Cola Iberian Partners, which currently employs 4,200 workers, said that the reason for the move is to “eliminate redundancies and inefficiencies and unify the activities and procedures performed in the group”.

Valencia, “Our project will improve the efficiency of emergency plans making staff’s work easier and helping to reduce the number of victims as evacuations will be more effective”.

The system is designed to facilitate evacuation of passengers and staff in case of a railway fire. Consisting of four closely interconnected subsystems, including detection, anti-propagation, ventilation and information, the system monitors the entire tunnel and can plot the likely spread of fire and smoke, taking appropriate action such as unfolding flameproof fabric on either side of the fire to prevent it from spreading, and creating controlled ventilation routes at the same time.

Then, once the control system is established, the safest exit routes are indicated through a series of flashing lights, indicating the fastest and safest exit from the tunnel on foot.

The tunnel in which the system was tested is not operational at the moment, forming part of the Tram extension to cover Benidorm, now not expected to be opened until 2016, due to budget constraints.

Almost six months to the day of the tragic train crash in Santiago de Compostela, which claimed the lives of dozens of victims, the Coroner is studying new documents submitted by train operator Renfe, which were requested following the ongoing investigation which still blames driver error.

Workers at the Nertus Mantenimiento Ferroviario y Servicios SA train maintenance depot in Santa Catalina, Madrid, began an indefinite strike this week, that could affect maintenance, and subsequent service levels of the high speed train network. The strike was called due to the implementation of a new work schedule, without correct consultation, as well as the “lack of bargaining in finding ways to balance work and family life”, according to the UGT union.

The staff are also raising concerns over the “lack of recognition of professional categories”, which concerns them that they see “job insecurity”, despite working for a “modern and competitive company”.

However, minimum service levels are being maintained, with a 50% level of operation in the first days of the industrial action, despite the unions applauding the support and “the high participation that keeps alive the spirits of a close-knit squad”.

A major fire was set to sweep through the Serra Grossa rail tunnel in Alicante this weekend, but fortunately it was intentional and part of a test of a new emergency management system, and was closely monitored by fire fighters and the city’s Department of Safety.

The new system has been developed as part of a project named “Firetunnel”, and has already undergone rigorous testing in controlled conditions in the manufacturer´s facilities, but the real test comes when putting the system to work in a real life situation.

GAY TOURISM IN SPAIN SHOWS DOUBLE THE GROWTH pain may be celebrating record tourists in 2013, with 60.66 million visitors representing an increase of 5.6% over 2012, surpassing the previous record of 2007 of 58.6 million, but there is one sector of tourism that continues to grow at an even higher rate than expected.

For years, the clever tour operators and businesses have focussed on the value of the so called “pink pound”, attempting to attract the seemingly more affluent gay an lesbian sectors of society, whose perceived general lack of children often means more disposable income, one top choice for the gay traveller is seeing an incredible growth.

The popular Gran Canaria resort of Maspalomas has shown a 10.3% increase in gay tourism in 2013, compared to 3.8% of nonegay visitors, according to the World Travel & Tourism Council and the World Tourism Organization. According to these sources, the gay community is now responsible for 10% of the volume of international tourists and just over 15% of global spending.

It is therefore no wonder that this week´s annual FITUR tourism event in Madrid has had an area dedicated to gay travel, as well as one for business and also for the environmentally friendly, where spokesperson Juan Pedro Tudela explained the benefits of those without children who can travel to further destination and at a less seasonally restrictive timetable.

Cape Town in South Africa or theme cruises are some of the trends that the gay community are showing interest in at Fitur, with Tudela explaining that Tel Aviv is the fastest growing destination “something that seemed unthinkable a few years ago”, especially for those looking to attend its gay pride party, and by preparing well in advance, you are sure that attendees are eligible for offers and discounts.

Cruising is also a safe bet for both gay and lesbian travellers, but it is the classic destinations that remain the favourite, such as Ibiza and Sitges, as well as the beaches of the Canary Islands, especially Maspalomas, and the city of Madrid.

In May of this year, Madrid will host the Annual Convention of the International Gay & Lesbian Travel Association (IGLTA) that was first developed in Spain, an event that will make “the value” of gay tourism, with plans to discuss the “flow of tourism for the next 10 or 15 years”, according to Tudela.

GOLF RETAINS TITLE AS TOLL ROA D TRAFFIC EURO PEAN FAVOURITE DECLINES TO 1996 LEVELS

According to data collated and released this week, the Volkswagen Golf is once again the best selling passenger car in Europe, selling 470,229 vehicles, 8.9% more than in 2012.

Industry experts attribute the growth to a new series of variants to the popular range, including the arrival of more compact versions.

In second place, the Ford Fiesta lags somewhat behind the Golf, with 293,663 units sold, 38% less than the Golf, with unit sales dropping by 4.1% compared to 2012.

Third place sees the Renault Clio closely chasing the Fiesta, increasing sales by 17.6%, with 287,111 new vehicles on the road.

Next in the chart is significant to Spain, as both the Volkswagen Polo, with 266,994 units sold, a drop of 7.2%, and the Opel Corsa, selling 239,814 units, down 9.5%, both manufactured in the vehicle plant in Zaragoza.

In terms of overall increase, that award has to go to the Peugeot 208, despite ranking in sixth place with 239,102 units; this figure is a staggering 49.3% more than in 2012.

Despite the drop in sales for the two Spanish vehicles in the top 5, vehicle manufacturing sector in Spain closed the year with a total of 2,163,338 vehicles being built, an increase of 9.3% over the previous year. Exports to the U.S., Algeria and Turkey have seen increases in 2013, with 1,879,974 manufactured units exported, 87% of the total, representing an increase of 8.72% over 2012.

Traffic using Spain´s toll motorway network has dropped by 33.6% in the last seven years, after a record of 23,909 average daily vehicles used the network in 2006.

In 2013, the average number of vehicles using the toll roads amounted to just 15,864 per day, a drop of 4.89% compared to 2012, a figure similar to that of 1996, according to the Ministry of Development.

However, that decline has decreased over the year previous, as in 2012 the drop was 10.1% over that of 2011.

A bleaker picture could be calculated when considering the length of the network, as the significance is greater when the distance available is included, as in 2006 there were just 1,733 kilometres of payable roads, compared to the 2,568 kilometres today.

One interesting fact, albeit daunting for those involved, is the fact that the largest drop in traffic and revenue has occurred on the roads which are operated by companies which are either bankrupt or facing bankruptcy.

The R-2 Madrid-Guadalajara ring road suffered the most significant drop, losing 22.5% of traffic, with an average daily use of just 4,588 vehicles. The R-3 Madrid-Arganda ring road also saw a 9.3% drop to 9,346 users, the R-5 MadridNavalcarnero lost 12.5%, seeing

7,034 vehicles, and R-4 Madrid-OcaĂąa dropped 15.3% to 4,652 movements.

As for the regional routes, the Cartagena-Vera road lost 3& to reach 2,737 daily users, whereas the route through the Alicante area saw a drop of 733%, to 5,293 movements.

The road linking Madrid to Barajas airport lost 2.5% of users last year, but remains the busiest of the entire payable network, with almost 17,834 vehicles per day. The quietest is the Madrid-Toledo route with just 1,215 movements per day.

In order to try to alleviate the burden of the toll network operators, the Spanish government is working on a development plan that would see them bailing them out in exchange for 80% ownership of the companies. The remaining 20% allocated to concessionaires currently operating the routes, mostly affiliated with or fully owned by major construction companies.

‘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 SUPER COCKROACH I have a great respect for cockroaches. I am not saying that I would want one as a pet, but I do respect them, as well as for their ability to survive in the most unlikely of conditions and treatment by humans. I certainly agree with the view that if, or when, the World is decimated by nuclear disaster, cockroaches will live on.

I remember writing a series of articles about cockroaches for a newspaper several years ago. It covered all facets of these fascinating creatures, including how tasty they can be if fried. Sadly, I received a few letters of complaint, as well as quite a few from interested chefs, so I will not go into too much detail here for fear of upsetting the delicate expat stomach once again.

My eye was drawn to a recent article about a species of cockroach that has recently invaded New York. Apparently these invaders are a species previously unseen in the US, which can withstand the harsh winter cold, as well as freezing conditions. This new and rather entertaining species, commonly known as Periplanetea Japonica (a name that sounds rather nice and floral) is quite common in Asia, but unseen in the US until recently. It is assumed that a few stowaways may have arrived in the US as illegal immigrants by stowing away in a few pot plants. Ingenious little things, aren’t they?

Sadly, the home species of cockroach in the US are less than happy, because the invaders will compete for their food, as well as space.

Fortunately, experts predict that this will mean that the illegal immigrants will spend so much time in competing it will mean that they will have less energy to reproduce. Hmm, maybe these experts should think again. I am no expert, but I can think of many examples of other species, including the human race, whereby the breeding instinct becomes even stronger during difficult conditions, such as in the UK during particularly cold weather or in war torn areas of the world. The inclination to breed and to replace itself is an instinct that US biologists seem to have forgotten.

In any case, and on a more practical note, the biologists are quite sure that the new species will not breed with the local population and create some kind of ‘super species’ because ‘their genitalia fit together like a lock and key’ within the same species. The experts are so confident about this one that they explain it as being rather like fitting a Yale key into a Chubb lock, but I won’t go into detail. In any case, I am not convinced that they are right on this one either.

I remember that a few years ago when I was taking my dog, Bella, for a short walk, the entire road was covered with an army of many thousands of cockroaches. I have never seen so many gathered together in one place, and it was just like an invasion. I am told that they appear from their hiding places at times of crisis, such as during periods of intense heat or flood. It was a particularly hot day and I guess they had all popped out for a spot of sun bathing. However, it was not such a good idea, because the sound of crunching that could be heard as vehi-

cles swept by and skidded over them was not pleasant, although a few minutes later they had all disappeared. Bella, who is not the bravest dog on the island, was terrified, and so we headed home rather more quickly than usual. Yes, I really do think that cockroaches will one day rule the world.

DIFFICULT TIMES FOR RESTAURANTS AND BARS

According to annual data released by online business directory 11870.com, almost half of all businesses that shut down in 2013 have been restaurants or bars.

From their database, they show that 732 businesses are no longer registered with them as being open, and of that figure, 340 fall into the biggest category group, restaurants or bars, although restaurants hold the largest portion.

Beauty parlours have also suffered a significant drop, with 93 establishments being removed from the directory. Electronics and computer shops have seen a drop of 54, to which we must also add 24 mobile phone stores.

As for a comparison to last year, in December 2012, the directory were reporting that of the 1,200 businesses registered as closed in

2011, some 500 were restaurants, showing how the market share may be comparative, but the number of business closures has reduced.

Of course the data released by a single directory may not show a full picture, as only a relatively small number of businesses would be registered with them in the first place, but the good news is, that in the capital alone, Madrid, the directory has seen over 750 new restaurants register with them, which, all things being equal, perhaps shows how new business is starting to thrive once more.

The 11870.com directory is largely crowd sourced with businesses able to register and users offering advice, tips, recommendations and photographs in order to enrich the experience of clients, both existing and new.

WHY LOCAL ELECTIONS ARE IMPORTANT TO YOU! he consequences of many Non Spanish EU residents not voting in local government elections are nowhere more evident than on Orihuela Costa. Over the years Orihuela Costa has failed to return any councillors and it was only at the last elections that the coast managed to return one councillor to the Orihuela Council. The effects of this have been that the coast fails to have most of the essential services that are considered fundamental to Spanish life despite the fact that the area has a population virtually equal to the City of Orihuela.

The municipality of Orihuela covers a large area but the two largest concentrations of residents live in the City of Orihuela and on Orihuela Costa. The municipality of Orihuela returns 25 councillors who should, by right represent all the residents living in greater Orihuela area. The population of Orihuela Costa and Orihuela City are roughly equal, with Orihuela City having only 706 more residents.

However when it comes to locally elected representatives the small villages of Orihuela return more councillors than the whole of the coastal region. This situation has resulted in many small villages having more public services, despite their limited populations, than a population of 33,227 people who live on the coast.

It is fair to say that most towns with a population much smaller than Orihuela Costa have total control of all their affairs, having their own Town Councils. To put this in perspective the whole municipality of Pilar de la Horadada has a population approximately 8,000 people fewer than Orihuela Costa. One only needs to compare the public services provided by the Pilar de la Horadada to those available to residents living on Orihuela Costa to see that a town with a population of only 25,000 is both economically viable and able to provide high quality services to its citizens. One would normally expect that Orihuela Costa should have equal if not superior services to those

T

provided to the residents in Pilar de la Horadada. However as all coastal residents know the level of services on offer on Orihuela Costa are substantially inferior to towns with populations of well less than 8,000 such as Los Montesinos, San Miguel or Algorfa.

The main reason why Orihuela Costa has few public services and amenities is that politically it hasn’t existed; it has only ever had one lone voice on the Orihuela Council. Until the last local election it had never had a representative to advocate for the residents living on the coast and consequently public spending went to Orihuela City and the small villages of Orihuela to the detriment of the 33,227 residents liv-

NO VOTE - NO VOICE - NO RIGHTS

ing on Orihuela Costa. Without sufficient councillors representing this large population the needs of the largely non Spanish coast have been marginalised, ignored and effectively discriminated against. In the present times of economic crisis cuts to essential services such as rubbish collection, park maintenance and road cleaning have been more severe and visible than in any other part of the Orihuela Municipality.

All Orihuela Costa residents with the right to vote should ensure that they are on the electoral register and to use their vote in the next Local Elections. All residents owe it to themselves and their local community to ensure that they elect a sufficient number of local councillors to ensure Orihuela Costa gains the level of public services enjoyed by other local towns and communities.

The Store welcomed The Royal British Legion Torrevieja Branch during Poppy Appeal 2013 and helped raise nearly €3,200.00. This was a bumper year for the Branch where ICELAND helped to break all records and take the total raised in the Branch area to €19,471.78 !!!

In the past the Branch had used Carrefour to spread Poppy Appeal information but in recent years ICELAND had stepped in when asked to help. This has also been a record for ICELAND during Poppy Appeal increasing the collection by €500.00 on the 2012 total. The Branch Officers and Members would like to take this opportunity to thank all the public for their support and generosity over Remembrance time, especially in the current financial climate, and hope the support will continue in this the Branches 25th Anniversary year, the very necessary work by the Branch goes on 24/7.

I

n 2014 Ciudad Quesada will celebrate the 42nd anniversary of its founding. Essentially a new town it was the brainchild of Justo Samper Quesada, a local businessman and didn't even exist before 1972.

While many would have settled for a theme park or a hotel Justo had a dream to build a whole town. He finally achieved this dream in 1999 when Ciudad Quesada was given proper recognition with the opening of its very own town Hall. Se単or Quesada showed us what perseverance and hard work could achieve when, during turbulent financial times, he managed to fulfil all expectations.

The town is located 8 kilometres inland from Guardamar de la Segura virtually equidistant from Alicante and Murcia airports which are both 50 kilometres away. The nearest beach is a 10 minute drive.

The town centre of is well provided with shops, bars, restaurants, its own golf course and water park and there are many other championship golf courses within a 20 minute drive of which La Finca, Villamartin, Las Ramblas and Campoamar are the closest.

The local cuisine is typically that of the Costa Blanca, combining delicacies from both land and the Mediterranean Sea. Many civilizations have lived in this area (Celts, Iberians, Greeks, Romans, Muslims), all of which have left their mark on the gastronomy.

The area is rich in fish, vegetables, olive-oil, rice and fruit and the ingredients which are all used to prepare delicious, healthy dishes, such as Paella Valenciana, Arroz Negro (black rice), Arroz al horno (Oven baked rice), Arroz a banda (fish and rice stew).

Aside from seafood, typical dishes include succulent lamb chops, rabbit in garlic, roast leg of lamb with garlic and fresh rosemary, and homemade sausages and black puddings.

If you have a sweet tooth then you will enjoy the local homemade pastries and deserts that the whole region is famous for or Jijona icecream (Nougat), which is made with the almonds of the region.

While in Ciudad Quesada you can also entertain the palate with the ample wines from the Jalon region known throughout the world for both its quality and bouquet.

Shopping is well catered for in the town in addition to which there is an abundance of nearby markets that are open almost every day during the summer months.

Ciudad Quesada overlooks the salt lakes of Torrevieja and La Mata, as well as Torrevieja in the distance. Torrevieja salt lakes are still in production. The La Mata salt lake received national Park status in 1996 and is now a big tourist attraction. It is also received protection for the wonderful birdlife which resides there boasting an abundance of flamingos and other wildlife. There are many award winning Blue flag beaches within a 15 minute drive.

In 1986 the World Health Organisation recommended the climate of the area as one of the most equitable in the world - neither too hot in the summer nor too cold in the winter. On average it can boast 325 sunny days each year making it an ideal all year round destination.

Justo Quesada Samper died two years ago at the age of 83.

Colour Mirrors By Penny Wing olour Mirrors is a powerful colour soul therapy which combines colour psychology and sacred geometry using dual-coloured oils and spritzer essences which allow people to heal and empower themselves. This wonderful energy healing system is now available for the first time in Spain!

C

Colour has a vibration and so do we, therefore, colour interacts with our energy helping to bring it into balance. Colour penetrates everything. It brings to light that which lies in the sub conscious and unconscious.

When used as a therapy, colour can go the root of any problems we may have and release us from past negative patterns. Colour helps to analyse and indentify what the pattern is that we are stuck with, bringing it to our conscious mind for transformation and helps us to re-programme a new experience.

What does Colour Mirrors do?

The radiant colours in the oils and spritzers reveal your unique colour blueprint assisting you in the healing and transformation of your mind, body and spirit.

Colour Mirrors is an extraordinary colour system that can help you move through your fears and blocks to open and embrace who you really are.

How can you benefit from Colour Mirrors?

The system can help you in many ways including: Accelerating your healing Relationship issues Releasing blocks and resistances on all levels Identifying and exploring issues/challenges that are preventing you from expressing your true potential Discovering your life’s purpose Bringing you into alignment with your soul essence Supporting you on your spiritual journey What are Colour Mirrors bottles?

The bottles are energy – they are not a product such as you would buy on a shop shelf. They “connect” with us and teach us what lies hidden and what keeps us in patterns of fear, lack, judgement and self-destruct.

Developed by Melissie Jolley in South Africa the oils and essences are created in a sacred ceremony involving angelic, Ascended Master, crystal and sound energy. They contain vegetable based colour, native African plants, purified water, avocado oil, flower essences, and essential oils.

Ways in which the bottles can be used Dual-coloured oils In the bath Held in mediation Placed next to the bed, or on a nearby table Placed on the body (for ideally at least 20 minutes) In massage Spritzers Sprayed around the aura, in a room, or over a bed Held in meditation Added to the bath Carried in a handbag for emergencies Can be included in therapies such as Reiki, Reflexology, and EFT Spiritual Readings Bottles and spritzers are used for a variety of spiritual readings. Colour readings are useful for current issues in your life, Soul readings (using your date of birth) can help identify your life purpose, Ascension Star readings help give you an insight into what is going on in your mind, body and spirit.

Chakra readings show where you may be holding energy blocks in your body and how you can release them. If you have any relationship issues a chakra reading can help to highlight the steps you may need to take to clear them.

Chakra Balancing In a chakra balancing session you choose which bottles need to be placed on various areas of your body, therefore, releasing any blocks that may be stored there. Every chakra balancing session is unique and may consist of practices such as visualisations, affirmations and so on. The bottles will give an insight into what needs to be done.

We are drawn to connect with colour when we are finally ready to listen and make powerful changes in our lives......

180s: Joe Miller, Shaun Smith (Hyenas), Derek Kingsbury, Patrick Abrams, Paul Durrant, Lee Maiden (Meerkats), Sid Cross x2 (Hattons Hunks), Mark Filer (Busters), Mike Smith, Mel Dawson (Breakaways Bears) Highest finish Alex Nikolov (Meerkats) 141 Shortest leg John Walker (Que Pasa), Pat Abrams (Meerkats) 16 darts Big news of the week is Busters loss of their unbeaten record to Porterhouse, in a match that was always a potential banana skin for the away side. It was a great victory for Ray Sanderson´s side, albeit Busters are currently short of two players sunning themselves in the Far East. But, take nothing away from the Porters, they are a dangerous side who have gradually improved over recent seasons. Que Pasa´s resounding victory over Madigans elevates them into clear second, but still 5 points behind leaders Meerkats.

Busters were in fact 2 up after the first triple and must have been confident of a result at that point. Irene Russell and Babs Warren did the double damage with Will Drummond contributing a 140. Porters Ray Hayes 112 and Brian Nash´s 134 were to no avail. Nash continued his form in the next pegging out on D20 to pull one back for the Porters.

He was at it again in the first double scoring a ton and hitting his favourite D20 with partner Hayes. The Russells, Irene and Bill faced Sanderson and Peter Ayre in the next, Ayre doing the scoring 114 with Sanderson completing the leg on D10. You would have expected Busters Ray Harvey and Paul Dowinton to take the next for 3 apiece against Mike Newberry and Sue Sanderson, but no, Newberry claimed D4 for an unexpected 4-2 half time score. Newberry carried on where

he left off, to take the first single against Drummond on D20. Captain Sanderson ensured at least the draw, slotting home D10 first dart.

Hayes made sure of the match on D8 and then Ayre got the Porters 8th leg of the night on what else but D20. With the benefit of hindsight it may have been wiser to play Peter O´Rourke and Ray Harvey earlier in the singles as they have been playing well of late and the point was proven by taking the last two legs for Busters. O´Rourke took the 11th leg on D4, after wiring numerous trebles and doubles when playing Nash who himself contributed two tons. Harvey hit 121 before completing the leg on D2 against an unlucky Sue Sanderson. Overall both sides were a little under par in the scoring department, but nevertheless a fine if unexpected victory for the Porters.

The Queens entertained the Kings at the local Royal establishment of the Pint Depot, hardly Sandringham, but you cant get a decent pint at the Norfolk holiday home. No decorum when this lot gets together, bribery, job loss and even withdrawal of sexual necessities (no loss there then) was the Royal order of the evening. The Kings manoeuvred themselves into a commanding 10 leg lead and you would expect the opposition to gradually quieten at this stage. You must be joking, Ian Sleath was the first lamb to the slaughter facing Marie Dunne.

Threatening rumours from one particular Queen of issuing Sleath with a P45 were I´m sure unfounded, but he definitely had other matters on his mind than the 501 leg in progress. Queen Marie, totally indifferent to Sleath´s problems promptly hit 134 and closed out the leg to a visibly shaken Sleath. The 12th leg featured Martin Bynorth v. league sponsor and super royal Debbie Wright. Despite vociferous support and a second magnum of wine, Queen Debs had difficulty scoring as did her opponent. A 76 to set up D4 was her best effort which was duly put to bed next visit on S4,D2. The Agado anthem followed to celebrate the Queen´s two victories. Amid the chaos a couple of decent performances surfaced. Gary Minor, last week´s Exite Radio merit nominee, once again excelled with 3 game shots and 3 tons in his doubles with partner Dave Wright. The latter also managed 3 winning doubles and a 120 to boot. Both fine performances, contributing to their side´s rise in the league table. I haven’t heard of any repercussions after the first treble of Bynorth, Wright and Sleath playing their respective domestic partners of Marie Dunne, Debs Wright and Cheryl Sleath. The Kings won this one, Wright going out of on D8 after a 120. The threatened withdrawal of conjugal rights and spare room banishment were not unsurprisingly welcomed by the Kings, much to the chagrin of their opposites.

The Meerkats continue unbeaten with just the one dropped point after their draw to Busters. Their emphatic victory over the Honeys this week belies the fact that 3 legs should have gone to the visitors. The De Laceys once again figured significantly, Simone contributing numerous high scores throughout and Phil unlucky in his single against Paul Durrant, by not converting the chase to the finish into a double, which Durrant did first opportunity. His 85 and 125 to leave D8, was sadly a reflection of earlier misses. Hilda Wilkinson was nominated man of the match for the Honeys by Kats captain Derek Kingsbury for her scoring prowess. Kat Lee Maiden, was unlucky in his singles not to convert some excellent scoring (125,140) into a 15

dart leg. Unfortunately he needed another 6 but will be pleased with his overall performance which included a further ton and a maximum in his pairs with John Eyre who completed the leg on D10. Pat Abrams concluded an indifferent individual performance, with a brilliant 130 out (T20,T20,D5) for the second highest game shot of the season. Graham Todd seems to be brushing off the cobwebs these days and about time to. Two earlier game shots D10 and D4 were followed by a nice 133 and 68 out (S1,S17,bull) in his single.

Gogarty´s take their unbeaten run to 4 after their visit to Breakaways.

It was all square at half time with Mike Smith of the Bears flexing his scoring muscles with 140,100,103 plus D16 and D4. John Linton replied for Gogarty´s with 100,125 and D18. Mel Dawson supported with 100 and D10. Captain Gail Todd followed an earlier 108 with a fine win over Smith in the first singles. Two further tons from Linton and a D20 against Dawson were followed by the Bears only singles victor Jay Sharp in his match against Kevin Procktor. Gogarty´s retain 6th place with just 2 points separating the 4th to 7th placed teams.

The Tavern keep their hopes of some silverware in the shape of the League Plate after a comfortable victory over the Pirates from PB´s.

Mike Snow weighed in with 3 game shots for the Taverners plus some decent scores. The Pirates only successes came in the singles via Barry Weston 111 and a nice two dart out S20,D16 and Phil Batt who laboured a little on the double, but finally nailed D1 against Justin Hepburn. Pirates captain Gilly Kirby is gradually getting her players round to better performances and nominated Michelle Lane as her player of the evening. The Hyenas had a tough task with visiting the Hattons Hunks as several players were in the UK. Andy Brooker however excelled for the Hyenas but it wasn’t enough as Steph Simpson got the 7th and match winning leg on D8. Joe Hawkins top scored on 140. Sid Cross contributed 3 winning doubles including a smart T5,T5,D11 out. Que Pasa ease into second spot with an emphatic victory over Madigans even though they were without star player John Walker. Jim Waddell was the match winner with Stuart Clarke hitting a nice 69 out.

A great win for Sycamores in B div of the SABA league, as they triumphed 10-2 at home to San Miguel Comets, courtesy of this little lot: Pete Tomkins, T Lawton, J Wilcock 18-12. M Gray, D Watt, S Gray 22-18. N Bater, Penny Tomkins, T Upham 15-11. J & J Oliver, G Inwood 24-10. M Beardsall, T Lemon, G Watt 24-10.

Maples traveled to high flying La Marina Explorers, where unfortunately they were just pipped 8 points to 6, losing out on o/s by the narrowest of margins. Well done: B Tomlin, F & M Edwards 22-12. P Lockley, G & C Chapman 22-12. L Morris, V Mahomet, I Brewster 23-17.

Also on the road were Chestnuts, who lost 9-5 against San Luis Vulcans, where these guys & dolls did the biz: B Norris, J McClean, H Cork 22-18. P Wray, A Hewitt, J O'Brien 28-8. H Langlois, V Duchart, M Kilby 16-16.

Both our Fed 4s teams lost in their div 1 matches. At home to Quesada Panthers, only the team of F Tilley, P Lockley, A Toozer & V Mahomet (18-12) were victorious, as they went down 2-6. The Bulls lost by the same score in their away match at San Miguel against the Choctaws. One rink lost by 2, another by 3, but the team of S Stead, L Morris, B Miller & T Hill won 18-16, meaning o/s was lost by 3.

No results received from winter/berleen leagues, and Totus & Dragon Insurance Saturday challenge. Southern league results are not included, but will appear as a double bubble next SPONSORED BY TOTUS AND DRAGON INSURANCE

On 17 January EI Outlaws home game against Quesada Swifts was, to say the least, a tight affair with only shot difference between the teams, 101 to EI and 97 to Quesada resulting in 7pts each. Couldn't get much closer if they tried.

On the same day EI Cavaliers played against Quesada Swallows, with the Cavaliers flying higher than the Swallows, continuing their winning form with the Club Captain and his team having the best win - 27 to 9 - thereby ensuring 12 points to EI against 2 and 113 shots to 84.

Can we get better? Of course we can - watch this space.

Monday, 20 January, saw two EI teams play home games. The morning game was between the Moonrakers and La Marina Astronauts.

Another close game with 3 winning rinks each, the final score came down to shot difference which went to EI, 96 shots to 92 giving us 8 points to 6.

Good news breaking from the Neptunes camp after their game against El Rancho Pintos, with 4 winning rinks to 2, but shots went against us - 108 to 97. Is this the start of something big? Time will tell - well done, team.

EI Titans visited Quesada Pearls and soon realised that 'fings ain't what they used to be', coming home disappointed to say the least. They won on just one rink, so only 2 points to 12 and a shot difference of 74 to 123. Where did it go wrong?

All three games were well contested throughout the first 14 ends which saw us drawing on Noels rink and losing by 6 on Chris's rink and by one on Drews rink. But great play under severe pressure from the opposition saw the teams battle right to the line and produce good wins on Noels and Drews rinks with Chris's team eventually losing by two. Another good team performance.

San Miguel Meteors played against San Miguel Pulsars, a hard game, but coming out with 9 points. A close contest with the words friends not heard of. Well done to everybody, especially Cyrils, Sabs and Chris's teams who got us out of the mire.

The Jaguars had a disastrous morning away at Vistabella, playing against very strong winds, only picking up 2 points, . Very well done to Paul Thomas, Dave Young and John Staden who flew the flag for San Miguel winning 25-13. Well done to our friendly Alan Booth, Noel Davis and Carl Eagle who won 20-15.

Dont forget Quiz Night at Dissenys, Weds 29th January 7.30 start.

This week saw a home tie between our two teams in the SABA Enterprise division, the Klingons and Trekkers, with the Klingons winning on 4 rinks but being beaten on shots giving them an 8-6 win.

The Romulans were beaten 2-12 by Vistabella Albatrosses only winning on one rink. The Vulcans faired better winning 9-5 against Greenlands Chestnuts. There were three winning rinks, one drawn rink and also taking the overall shots.

The Winter League had a disappointing visit to Javea with the only winning team being in the Berleen League.

The Fed 4s Whites were away to Vistabella this week and, after a good win last week, were disappointed to be beaten 0-8. Better luck next week. The Blues, home to Country Bowls faired better winning 6-2.

In the Southern league, the Lions were defeated by La Siesta Blues 68, winning on two rinks and taking the overall shots. The Tigers, at home to La Marina Seagulls, despite some very tight games eventually lost 5-9. They won on two rinks and drawing on one. The Pumas were away to La Siesta Golds and were defeated 6-8. They won on 3 rinks but lost out on the overall shots 103-112.

The Chicken drive this week was won by Bob White with Tom Riley taking the Egg Cup. Apologies for not putting in the names of the winning teams as we usually do. We have so many teams now at San Luis that we cannot fit everything in. Thank you so much to all those who have donated raffle prizes and supported the various fundraising events in support of Fred Armstrong and his family following his accident. Don't forget the Skittles games on Saturday 1 February at 2:00 pm and the Fun Bowls on Sunday 2 February at 10:00 am - both at Casa Ventura.

Fred's family are overwhelmed at the generosity that has been shown to them at this difficult time.

HORADADA BOWLS CLUB Three games to report this week.

Monday gave us a home game against El Rancho.

Unfortunately we lost by 97 shots to 109 and only gained 4 points.Our two winning rinks were Alan Russell,Carol Linehan and Mike Douglas 26 – 15 and Sandra Simpson,Roy Collins and John Simpson 15 – 10. In a very close game the rink led by Alan Pugh lost the shot on the last end to lose by 1.

On Tues we had the long trip to Monte Mar in the Fed fours but it is always a pleasure to play on their green.Here we did our usual trick of being well up only to go to pieces over the second half of the game.One rink was winning 15 – 3 after 10 ends but only scored 1 shot after that,while a second was up with 2 ends to go only to give a 7 away after a firing shot went wrong.In all we gained no points with our best rink being Fred Semper,Fred Trigwell,Len Chance and Terry Hucknall who lost 16 – 18.

On Friday we again play Monte Mar but this time at home.A better result,sharing the points 7 each with Horadada winning on 2 rinks,drawing on one but gaining the overall shots by 96 – 88.Our sucessful rinks were Fred Trigwell,Roy Thompson and Tony Burchall 20 – 10,andYvonne Hurlock, John Simpson and John Hurlock 19 – 10,with our draw coming from Maureen Semper,Alan Pugh and Barry Evans.

Next week we have 3 games against San Miguel so a hatrick would be most welcome.

LA MARINA BOWLS CLUB A indifferent week for La Marina this time around with all three teams winning 1 and losing 1, top dogs are the Dolphins who beat the Seagulls on Friday 12 points to 2 the Dolphins winning rinks as follows Brian Murray, Angie Butler skip Dave O`Sullivan: Reg Jackson, Jill Albutt skip John Albutt: Ted Winters, Jack Chorlton skip Bill Jones: Jan Gugerly, Derek Shirley skip Dave Gugerly: Marg Jamieson, Dave Willas skip Bill Jamieson.

The Seagulls only winners on the day Gina Hindle, JohnMorgan skip Dave Hadaway, the win keeps the Dolphins in a very strong position for promotion keep it up guys. Monday the sister team away to Emerald Isle Moonrakers but sadly the team lost by 6 points to 8 the winning rinks being Marg Jamieson, Dave Willas skip Bill Jamieson: Paul Tregoing, Jim Loman skip Martin Butler: Brian Murray, Angie Butler skip Dave O`Sullivan.

After the poor showing on Friday the Seagulls sister team played at home to Quesada Diamonds winning 14 points to 0 the winning trips Gina Hindle, Ron Garland skip Dave Hadaway: Phil Richmond, Chris Green skip Arthur Cronk: Barbara Forshaw, Jim Freeman skip Tom Edwards: Pam Morgan, John Morgan skip Bob Mallett: Dave Freeman,

Shelia Kirby skip Steve Hindle: and June Tew, Clive Pratt skip Dave Taylor.

On Friday the Sharks played away at La Siesta Blues going down 4 points to 10 the winning rinks Ron Maden, Peter Parsons skip Alan Castle: Tom Spencer, Phil Pape skip Barry Latham: Monday saw the sister team at home to Greenland’s Maples winning 8 points to 6 winners as follows Ron Maden, Bill Simms skip Jim Donnelly: Janet Parsons, Phil Pape skip Bobbie Simms: Roger Stacey, John Pryme skip Pater Parsons.

Our Fed 4`s team started with a very difficult game away to El Rancho made more difficult by playing in the rain unfortunately they could not master the conditions and lost 0 points to 8, but that game is out of the way now so the only way is up from now on.

Saturday saw our regular fun game won by the trip of Martin Webb, Jeff Hafhide skip Brian Murray; I am led to believe that the upcoming game to be played around Valentine’s day will feature some very strange looking women I hope to half photographic evidence to publish.

SMGS MAKE THE TREK TO LA TORRE A gorgeous day with cloudless skies and warm sunshine saw 30 odd of us make the southerly trek to La Torre, one of the ex Polaris courses. A shortish course with six par 3’s, its typical Nicklaus layout finds many raised greens protected by the characteristic array of bunkers.

A very generous smattering of sprawling waste areas together with the numerous bunkers does make possessing a certain degree of accuracy a very useful commodity. Teeing up, having a quick glance down the fairway and giving it an almighty thump is not the best approach……a little thought is required.

The society’s internal match-play knockout competitions have got underway and a couple of games in the preliminary round were fiercely contested, played in tandem with the day’s Stableford format.

A 3 & 2 victory for “Ken and Barbie” (Ken Flaherty & Phil de Lacy) saw the early exit of “George and Mildred” (Theo Boelhouwer & Shay Cunningham). I can personally vouch for the fact that the other match was a real “nip & tuck” affair in which neither pair deserved to lose.

It was left to be decided on the putting surface of the 18th where a

well holed six-footer put “Scouse and spouse” (Phil & Marg Birtwistle) into the next round beating “The High Fives” (Ivan Hanak & Mick Roscoe) by the narrowest of margins.

NTP winners on the day were Phil Birtwistle (Hole 3), Stanley Matthews (Hole 5), Steve Fleet (Holes 9 & 15), Marg Birtwistle (Hole 11) and Paul Guest (Hole 17). Paul Barton with a very acceptable 31 points took the guest prize before he then submitted his membership application…..welcome, Paul, good to have you on board.

Anybody could be forgiven for mistaking our Bronze category as this week’s “Celebrity Category” when you see the 3 winners ……… from the worlds of football, snooker and basketball, 3rd Stanley Matthews (35 C/B), 2nd Steve Davis (35 C/B) & 1st place Mike Jordan (38).

Silver division top three were 3rd Phil de Lacy (32 C/B), 2nd Alan Gilbert (35) and top spot went to John Drakesmith (36). The “Golden Guys” were 3rd Geoff Giddy (33), 2nd Paul Guest (34), and the tremendous top score of the day gives yet another win to in-form Steve Fleet (41). www.smgs.org or Phil de Lacy 966 774 197.

LA MARINA GOLF SOCIETY Members yomped across the Bonalba course on a beautiful day to compete for the Royal Marines Trophy kindly donated by Eric Edwards, an ex-Marine , in what it is the Marines 350th Birthday Year {but not Eric's! ] The players were short on weaponry, only being allowed 4 clubs to play with. However, some achieved very respectable scores with their limited choices and the results were as follows; Trophy Winner - Alan Craig 31 pts Longest Drive- Geoff Ettridge NTP's - Alan Craig, Aidan Byrnes x 2, Eric Taylor Many thanks to Eric for providing the prizes.

Our next meeting is at ALTORREAL on 6th February with 10a.m. start.

New members are welcome and can contact the secretary Alan Craig on e-mail a100ac@yahoo.co.uk or by adding their name to the attendance sheet at the La Marina Sports Complex.

Many thanks also go to Helena for the food on Thursday.

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.

Do you know your golf rules?

While playing a ‘friendly’ game of golf a few days ago at the beautiful Font del Llop golf course my playing partners asked me a question about a specific rule of golf resulting from a heated argument concerning taking relief from sprinkler heads. Apparently the 2nd shot of one of the players finished on the apron of the green and he wanted to putt BUT a sprinkler head was directly on his line to the hole so he asked for relief and a free drop away from the sprinkler head. His playing partners and opponents kindly informed him that this was simply the ‘rub of the green’ or at least words similar like tough s***.Do you know who was correct?

Under the rules of golf issued by the Royal and ancient RULE 24/2 covers this exact circumstance and in general if sprinkler head is positioned with two clubs length of the putting surface and if a players ball is situated within two club lengths of the said sprinkler head and if this sprinkler head impedes the players stance or shot, then the player is entitled to take relief within one club length but not nearer the hole. I guess that the next time these golfing ‘friends’ meet on the golf course there will be numerous words of banter and the eating of humble pie. This whole story just goes to underline how important it is to know the basic rules of golf and that sometimes the rules can help rather than penalise the player.

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.

TMGS MATCH REPORT FOR VILLAMARTIN, 22ND JAN

SUDOKU SOLUTION

LEADER ‘MIKE PROBERT TALKS GOLF ADVERTISING HOTLINE

I suppose many, like me, woke up to a wet and potential rain filled day at Villamartin; but then again, those ‘many’ were happy when the day was filled with ( a little) sunshine and to be honest, a decent day of golf on one of the oldest, if not the oldest, course in this area.

This course has been much maligned in the days past, but with the footfall it gets it is surprising just how good of a condition this course is in and maintains.

34 members turned up and played and whilst only one person achieved handicap, there were many scores in the 30’s which does appear to be the benchmark of a ‘decent’ day of golf!

The NTP’s were kindly donated by Tom (No Knickers please) Jones and his much better half of Pearl Sabine and the recipients of their generosity were Dag Lovas, Peter Mason, Andy Skinner and Vernon Brown who exclaimed he was so embarrassed bot his NTP on the 17th as I would have been too.

The scores, on the day, were quite decent and Mrs H Singer took the Best Guest prize with 28 points.

The Silver crew was a tight fought affair and both Peter Well and Alex Goslan scored 30 points, but Alex took the 3rd spot on the count back. In second place was Captain Mick Kennedy with 32 points and the winner for the Silver crowd was Per Skarnes with 34 points.

To be fair, the Gold lads didn’t fare that much better and it only needed 32 points for seasoned veteran Chris Oatly to take 4th spot with Vernon ”I am the original Fat Boy” Brown and Hermis Woerdemann to take 3rd and 2nd places. This left the winners spot wide open for the only one to achieve handicap, Steve Higgins on 37 points. Photo: Silver category winners.

SANTA POLA HALF MARATHON WITH RUNNING WILD Sunday 19th January saw one of Spain's premier Half Marathons take place in the nearby town of Santa Pola. There were over 9,000 entries, with over 8,000 finishers, and Running Wild were well represented with 7 entries, including Karen Pemberton who was competing in her first Half Marathon in over 20 years.

The conditions were awful, with constant rain, which meant that some of the main priorities for the runners were "puddle hopping" and "pothole avoidance".

Despite the conditions, the "Running Wild Team were very happy with their results. Gerard McGranaghan led the team home in an absolutely superb time of 1.23.22 which placed him in the top 400.

Unfortunately his wife, Monica, had to withdraw at the last minute as a precaution as she didn't want to aggravate an ongoing injury. Howard Bednall was next home in 1.58.02, followed closely be Helen Giles in 2.04.22 and Julia Skinner in 2.08.27. Karen Pemberton came home in an extremely good 2.22.35, much to the joy of those members who had endured the awful conditions to travel up and support all the runners.

Unfortunately, Jim Gavin had to retire having bravely tried to complete the distance despite running with an injury.

The next challenges are 5 weeks away with a number of the team competing in the Seville Marathon on 23rd February, whilst, on the same day, others will be in Torrevieja where there is both a Half Marathon and 10K taking place.

LATE RALLY TO LITTLE EFFECT FOR RACING C.F. Racing Playas de Orihuela 1 C.F. Crevillente. 4 Sponsored By: The Gato Pizzeria & The Abbey Tavern Pub. After last weeks game being cancelled at short notice Racing looked to continue their good form at home to Crevillente who were on the same points as Racing. The opening 16 minutes were eventful with Racing’s Carlos Valderrama being given a straight red card when he brought down an attacking player inside his own area on 5 minutes and the resulting penalty being scored it was now going to be a tough afternoon for the ten players of Racing. It got worse on 7 minutes when a sloppy goal which should have been dealt with was conceded to give the visitors a 2 - 0 lead. The game should have changed minutes later when Racings Nico Garcia saw his effort go just wide when he found himself one on one with the goalkeeper to beat. On 13 and 16 minutes the game was out of sight when two further efforts went

into Racing net to leave a mountain to climb at 4 - 0 . One moment of pure class came on 22 minutes for Racing was when Glen Lawtons long range free kick sailed into the Crevillente net to bring the tie back to 4-1. With further chances for Racing not being taken the clock was winding down and despite a tremendous effort given from Racings midfield in particular the all important second goal just didn't come with the final score 4 - 1 to Crevillente. Racing have time to regroup now with no game until February 5th away to San Fulgencio.

CF MIL PALMERAS WEEKLY ROUNDUP Mil Palmeras 1 Jnr Strikers 0 Prebenjamin 2006 - Sponsored by Sunshine FMradio 102.8 Well its took 14 weeks but they have finally done it! With the team depleted by illness, Mil Palmeras had to seek permission to borrow an old friend just to make up the required numbers, but yet again this team showed how far they have come this season with another resolute performance. The first half was all Mil Palmeras with the juniors goalkeeper denying the home team with a string of great saves.The deadlock was broken early on when Kevin latched on to a poor clearence and finished well into the corner.Second half was a different affair with j uniors having most of the play and really should have equalised but luckily for the toros their finishing was wasteful.But on the break Mil Palmeras were always dangerous and held on to take their first points of the season. Well done to all players who have deserved this moment for all their hard work and for sticking to the cause. Man of the match THE WHOLE TEAM worked their socks off.

Uryula 3 v 3 CF Mil Palmeras Alevines Sponsored By Talleras J Martínez For the third time in 4 weekends the Toros had to go shoulder to shoulder with Uryula ,this time in a top of the league showdown .From the off the Toros struggled to take control of the match and switched to hitting Uryula on the break . 4 mins in Oliver G punted the ball over midfield for Luke to run onto and beat the keeper .Liam ,Alex & Ben fought in midfield dropping time after time helping cover Neve and Aron in defence . Oliver C had a belter of a half in goal and got the assist for the Toros second goal when his goal kick again put Luke through to beat the keeper .Mingus , Kacie and Luca came on and stepped up straight away shutting Uryula down . With just under 10 mins to go Liam looked like getting the knock out blow putting Luke through again to take his hat trick and leave the score 0-3 at half time The Toros were warned at half time not to take there lead for granted as Uryula were going to come out fighting tooth and nail and they did.

It was almost a mirror of the first half with Uryula this time drawing the Toros in then hitting the ball long .It had worked for the Toros in

the first half and worked for Uryula 3 time in the second. Niether side played their best football but every player on the pitch gave everything thing they had and battled for the points .Again a proper clash of 2 teams that don't know what half measures are and overall a draw was fair .Well Done to All Players. Player of the Match Alex ,good first half and some great saves in the second.
