ETA THREATENS
TO KILL AGAIN
After 14 months the Basque
terrorist
organisation
ETA
officially declared the end of the
ceasefire on Tuesday and their
intention to become active again
on all fronts.
This return to terrorist acts
follows the prohibition of half
of the candidates of the extreme
Basque national party at the
recent municipal and regional
elections in the Basque country.
ETA took this as a proof that
Spain’s prime minister Zapatero
had shown his real face and
become ‘a fascist’. They said
that under these conditions any
further peace negotiations were
made impossible. Therefore, the
group had decided to defend the
people with weapons and fight
again for a united Euskal Herria,
- a united Basque country.
Zapatero, who had suspended the
dialogue after the bombing of
Terminal 4 of Madrid airport last
December, was left in a precarious
situation with regards to the
national elections early next
year. He said that the terrorist
group is committing a mistake
and appealed to all democratic
groups to jointly fight terrorism
with democratic means. “Spain
is a strong country, the Spanish
society will never relent to any
threats.”
The following day French and
Spanish police arrested three
alleged members of the terrorist
organisation, two men and a
woman, in the town of Bagnères
de Bigorre in the South West of
France. Aitor Lorente Bilbao had
completed a prison sentence as a
member of the Aragón group.
At the beginning of the year the
National Court of Spain accused
him of the illegal possession
of weapons and explosives.
Igor Igartua Echevarría had
been accused of organising
the Vizcaya team, had been on
the run for several years and
belonged to the youth wing of
the group since the early 90s.
Alaitz Areitio Azpiri, is accused
of shooting at policemen in
October 2004. Garzón, the judge
of the national court, issued
an arrest order for her as the
organiser of the terrorist group
in Guipúzcoa.
The terrorists did not show
any resistance when they were
arrested in their apartment in the
early hours of Tuesday morning.
The National Police had been
following them for several weeks
waiting for the best moment to
make their arrest.
The second victory of the
democratic forces was the
decision of the ministry of the
interior to transfer Iñaki De
Juana to a prison close to Madrid
after he had recovered from
his three-month-long hunger
strike. He will have to complete
the remaining 14 months of
his prison sentence in the
penitentiary rather than in his
home, as had been contemplated
due to his bad health. The state
prosecutor of the National Court
of Spain decreed that the prison
in Aranjuez has the right to forcefeed De Juana should he decide
to restart his hunger strike.
Last Wednesday De Juana was
taken to the prison infirmary
to continue his recovery. He
will only be allowed to leave the
prison for specialist treatment
and medical checks.
The director of the penitentiary
institutions in Spain, Mercedes
Gallizo, reminded the prison
authorities that, according to law,
even with the improved health
of De Juana Chaos, they are still
obliged to watch life, integrity
and health of the prisoner.
In a third reaction to the end of
the ceasefire Garzón prohibited
Otegi, the head of the banned
party Batasuna, to leave Spain.
Otegi, who had planned a visit
to South Africa, is only at large
because he paid bail. He had been
sentenced to prison because of
his praise for ETA in 2003.
Although Otegi is free now, the
court can decide at any time
to send him back to prison if it
considers him to be a criminal
danger to the state.
VILLA
SCORES
FOR
SPAIN
Spain move up to second in their group after beating
Liechtenstein 0-2. Two early goals from David Villa gave Luis
Aragonés’ side the hope of a big scoreline. But they were
unable to add to their total after that, with Villa missing an
injury time penalty which would have been his hat-trick.

PP to push for
anthem lyrics
President of the Partido

announced that his party
would be presenting an
initiative in congress aimed
at setting up a special
commission in charge of
writing lyrics to Spain’s
national anthem.
La Marcha Real (The

felt impelled to act after
Spain’s Olympic Committee
reported
that
Spanish
sportsmen and women were
urging them to push for the
change, as they wanted to
sing their anthem in sports
meetings.
Spanish

Spaniards jailed for
G8 summit protest
Nine months in prison for
the Spanish protestors
G. Lennon
Two Spaniards have been
sentenced to nine months
in prison after participating
in violent protests in the
German port town of
Rostock last weekend, just
days before the G8 was due
to commence.
The two men, aged 21
and 31, were amongst 2,000
extremists participating
in protests against the
summit.
Police
were
forced to use tear gas and
water gas to break up the
rioters.
Their arrests are aimed to
send out a clear message to
other rioters to discourage
them from using force.
Later in the week, nearly
10,000
demonstrators
reached the town of
Hiligendamm, where the
summit is being held,
managing to block one of
two access points to the
hotel complex where the
leaders are staying.

RIOTERS: Creating havoc at G8 summit
Aznar denies Iraq Seven people injured in shoot
invasion mistake
out in Granada bank robbery
G. Lennon
In an interview published
in the Argentinean weekly
magazine Perfil, former
Spanish president, José
María Aznar, has denied
that the decision to invade
Iraq was a mistake. “For
the first time since the 18th
century, Spain was at the
centre of world affairs,” he
said. “What convinced me
was that the international
community
could
not
accept being challenged
by a dictator who did not
know what he was doing,
and whom we suspected
of being in possession of
a very deadly weapon,”
continued Mr Aznar, who
went on to say that the
invasion was justified on
“human rights (grounds)
and the conviction that
he was in a position to get
hold of a very dangerous
weapon.”
When the interviewer asked
whether he felt guilty when
it was later proven that there
were, in fact, no weapons of
mass destruction, Sr Aznar
replied: “No, because I
never sent anyone into
battle. I simply believed that
the world would be a better
place
without
Saddam
Hussein.”
When asked whether he
agreed if ETA was the
useful enemy chosen by the
PP on which to base their
May 27 election campaign,
Mr Aznar would only say:
“ETA should never have
been present at the elections.
That was a serious mistake
by the government.”
Seven people were injured,
four of them seriously,
during a shoot-out in
Motril, Granada on Tuesday
following a bank robbery.
The shooting started as
three armed men made
their escape from Caja
Granada on C/ Martínez
Cuevas, which had been
cordonned off after several
calls from members of the
public alerted emergency
services that three men
wearing sunglasses and
berets were holding up staff
inside the bank. Two of the
bank robbers were shot
while the third escaped and
is still at large.
Four of
the
seven
people
shot, including
one
police
officer
(53),
who was shot
in the neck and
airlifted to the
Virgen de las
Nieves Hospital
in
Granada
where he has undergone
surgery, and one of the bank
robbers, were seriously
injured.
Another officer (55), who
was shot in the hand, has
been discharged along with
an 11-year-old girl, who
sustained a flesh wound to
her thigh. The condition of
one of the bank robbers, a
46-year-old man who was
shot in the abdomen, is
described as ‘very serious’
while that of a seventh man
(65), an innocent bystander
who was shot in the chest,
is also serious.

ETA announces end to
permanent ceasefire
ETA will defend the Basque
country with weapons
A. Elgar
Basque separatist group
ETA has announced an end
to its ‘permanent ceasefire’
set up over one year ago,
stating that it would defend
the Basque country ‘with
weapons and on all fronts’.
The terrorist group argued
its decision, stating: “We
are unable to continue our
negotiation process with
the government as the
minimum conditions to
do so are absent,” whilst
further blaming Spain’s
head of state, José Luis
Rodríguez Zapatero, for
becoming
fascist,
and
“leaving
citizens
and
parties without rights.”
ETA
attacked
the
government’s decision to
ban Basque nationalist
parties
from
standing
at the May 27 elections,
stating: “This impeded free
expression for thousands of
voters who are in favour of
political change.”
Since
the
group’s
permanent ceasefire was
announced
on
March
22, 2006, two people have
been killed (Terminal 4,
Barajas-Madrid
airport
attack), after which time
the socialist government
broke off peace talks with
ETA. In addition, the group
continued with its kale
borroka or urban rioting
campaign, it sent extortion
letters to several Basque
and Navarra businessmen
demanding they hand over
thousands of euros, while
it carried out a massive
robbery in the south of
France, stealing 350 guns.
Opposition
leader
Mariano
Rajoy
reacted
stongly to ETA’s end of
ceasefire
announcement,
urging the government not
to concede nor negotiate.
“ETA must learn that it is
heading for defeat, achieved
by the very instrument of
the democratic state that is
Spain. Terrorists cannot and
will not bend the majority
will of Spaniards who wish
to live in peace,” he said.
In
its
four-decade
campaign to set up an
independent
state
in
northern Spain and southwestern France, ETA has
killed more than 800 people.
Gerry Adams:
“All sides should show restraint”
President of Sinn Fein,
Gerry Adams, has urged
the Spanish government
and ETA to redouble
their efforts to achieve
peace, after the annoucement that the Basque
separatist organisation
would be taking up its
weapons again.
Adams, who visited
Spain last year to share
his experience in the
Northern Irish peace
process, lamented the
announcement that ETA
was to break its ceasefire
and take up arms again.
“The lessons of the Irish
peace process and indeed
every conflict resolu-
tion process throughout
the world tells us that
it is now important to
redouble efforts to put
the process there back on
track,” he said.
“All sides should show
restraint and do everything in their power to
ensure that a process is
put in place which can
allow this conflict to
be resolved peacefully
through genuine dialogue and engagement.
“ETA’s decision goes
totally in the opposite
direction of the path
that Basque and Spanish
society want, the path of
peace.”
ETA: Announce the end of permanent ceasefire

ETA demands
ETA has sent letters to businessmen living in the Basque
Country and Navarra, demanding that they hand over 150,000
euros to “build a free Euskal Herria (Basque Country),”
according to reports.
The president of the Confederation of Navarra Businessmen,
José Manuel Ayesa, revealed that nine extortion letters had
been written to its members, with the amount of money higher
than on previous occasions. “The group continues to pursue
and persecute businessmen, who live in great fear of ETA,
forcing them to pay their ‘revolutionary tax’”, and so Ayesa has
demanded help from the government.
According to the PP’s executive secretary of autonomous and
local policies, Soraya Sáenz de Santamaría: “In the past few
months, we have seen how ETA have rebuilt their commandos,
stolen arms, and now they are sending extortion letters once
again with the aim of recovering their finances.”

the scene.
The young girl was taken to
Saint Thomas hospital, but
she died soon after from her
injuries.

The jury described Gore as “a public

Maeso pleads
innocence
The
anaesthetist,
Juan
Maeso, who was sentenced
to 1,933 years in prison for
infecting 275 patients in
Valencia with hepatitis C,
has once again pleaded innocent in Valencia’s High
Court. Maeso stated that
he would “rather go to
prison than admit that I am
guilty”. Juan Maeso made
these statements before the
prosecutor requested that
he be detained immediately
because of the likeliness of
him fleeing the country because he has no family ties
here. Maeso denied the lack
of family ties saying that: “I
would never flee the country
because I don’t want to lose
touch with my family and
my friends”. Maeso was 66
in December and in Spain it
is easier to get probation after the age of 70.
Finance
More funds

government
The finance ministers from
each of the autonomous regions ruled by the PP met
this week in Valencia to
draw up a unified demand
for central government to
change the financial model
for the autonomous regions.
The PP finance ministers
for the autonomous regions
will be asking for budgets to
be set according to population. According to Gerardo
Camps, the current finance
minister, Valencia has seen
its population increase by
over a million since 1999,
when the parameters for the
region’s finance were established.

Pupils in primary will go

trade unions have criticised
both dates, complaining that
they do not give them time
to prepare. The teachers’
unions are suggesting that
primary students go back

classes finish before lunch.
Parents’ associations are opposed to the system, which

Formula One will be

B. Chulvi &
S. Walker
Francisco Camps didn’t
waste any time. On June
1st, just three days after
winning
the
elections,
Camps flew to London to
sign a contract with Ecclestone that will bring Formula One to Valencia in
2008. The Ministry of Infrastructures’ tender for
an initial project for the
Formula One circuit has
received seven offers, four
from private consortia and
three from the engineering
companies IDOM, Intraesa
and Aminsa. The architect
chosen to design the circuit
is the German, Herman
Tilke, who has already designed nine international
circuits, including those in
Bahrain, Istanbul, Shanghai, Cataluña and the Fuji
Speedway in Japan.
The owner of Formula One
seems intent on contradicting the drivers and introducing more urban circuits
into the world of Formula
One. Now that he has the
contract for Valencia in
the bag, his next target is
Paris. Ecclestone has not
renewed the contract with
the circuit at Nevers Magny-Cours, which has been
hosting Formula One races
since 1991. He has, however, made his intentions
clear: France could hold
onto a Formula One race
if a circuit was designed
around the heart of Paris.
In Australia, Ecclestone
has met resistance to his
plans. A few months ago,
he told the organisers of
CONTRACT SIGNED: Francisco Camps and Bernie Ecclestone will make it happen
the Australian Grand Prix
that Melbourne’s contract,
which currently runs until
2010, will only be renewed
if they agree to hold the
race at night. Nevertheless,
Australia’s Tourism Minister, Tim Holding, made
his position very clear: “a
nocturnal Grand Prix is
out of the question”. Steve
Bracks, Prime Minister of
the State of Victoria, also
refused to bow to the demand for a nocturnal race:
“They’ve got to be joking,”
said Bracks. Australians in
the media are asking themselves if by rejecting Ecclestone’s plans they might be
saying goodbye to Formula
One altogether.

PP will be biggest spenders with over 79 billion
euros turnover between now and 2011
If political parties were
private companies, the PP
would be the biggest in the
Comunitat Valenciana on
the basis of its turnover,
according to a report in El
Boletín, the region’s most
popular economic weekly.
Thanks to the electoral results of May 27, the PP’s
elected representatives will
be in charge of over 79 billion euros compared with
the 3 billion that will be
spent by the Socialist Party.
These figures have been calculated using the 2006 government budgets, so some
increase can be expected by
the end of their term.
As a result of the elections,
Francisco Camps’ party will
have a budget 26 times bigger than the PSPV’s. The
budget for the Generalitat
Valenciana and public companies for the coming four
years will be in the region
of 16 billion euros and the
three councils controlled
by the PP will have about
800 million euros to spend.
The town councils run by
the PP will have a budget
of nearly 3 billion euros
over the course of their
four-year term. The socialists, having lost control of
Torrent and Paterna town
halls, which equate to a
budget loss of some 113
million euros, will have
715 million euros per annum to spend, a total of
over 2.8 billion across the
four years. The Valencian
company with the highest
turnover, the Mercadona
supermarket chain, published a turnover of some
12 billion euros in 2006, i.e.,
4 billion less than the annual budget of the PP.

CAMP DE MORVEDRE
Barberá now closes
Patraix substation
Local residents remain wary
as repair work goes ahead
B. Chulvi &
S. Walker
The initial victory goes to
the residents of Patraix,
who
have
successfully
pressured Valencia City
Council into unanimously
approving a bill ratifying
the closure of the Patraix
electrical substation, site
of an explosion just two
weeks ago. The city council will offer the electricity
company, Iberdrola, the opportunity to exchange the
land the substation is on
for a similar plot away from
any town centres. The bill
also requires Iberdrola to
provide information on the
cause of the explosion on
May 15 and to see that someone is held responsible for
the incident.
This decision seemingly
puts an end to a two-year
battle by local people to
prove the dangers of the
aforementioned electrical
substation. Local residents,
however, are still wary:
“We don’t understand,”
explained Miguel Esteve,
“why Iberdrola is repairing
the substation if this bill
requires it to close and to
be moved to another site”.
This week, local residents
have seen Siemens lorries
carrying electrical equip-
ment entering the building.
The paradox in the story,
however, is that the very
same
government
that
is now ordering the substation to close on safety
grounds, issued an operating licence to Iberdrola in
December 2006 classifying
the substation as a safe enterprise. The government
claims that since then, however, Iberdrola has failed
to implement measures
to guarantee the safety of
the substation’s immediate
neighbours. The local residents have filed reports on
the health risks of electromagnetic fields and believe
that the location of the substation is the issue, rather
than
safety
measures.
There is private housing
and a school just five metres from the substation.
The substation was built
just two years ago and its location was agreed between
Iberdrola and Rita Barberá’s same government
team that is now closing it
down. In fact, that agreement also allowed for the
building of another substation, similar to the one
now being closed down, in
Valencia’s Paseo Alameda,
one of the city’s most expensive residential areas.
Construction of this second
substation has been put on

Disturbance
Noisy

More than 42,000 people in
the immediate vicinity of
Manises airport have to put
up with high noise levels,
bordering on illegal. Residents of some 15,000 properties in Aldaia, Manises,
Mislata, Quart de Poblet,
Riba-roja de Turia, Valencia
and Xirivella are affected
on a daily basis. Noise pollution tests carried out in
these areas have shown that
in 95% of cases, noise levels
are between 55 and 60 decibels, i.e., just below the 60
allowed during the day and
the 50 allowed during the
night. There are 13 schools
in the area most affected by
the aeroplane noise.

to close the substation, was
held as a result of pressure
from local socialist groups
and Esquerra Unida, who
called for “the substation
to suspend activity immediately” and for talks to begin
about moving the whole facility elsewhere. The Partido Popular then took up the
issue and in the end the resolution was passed unanimously, and along with it,
three other main points:
apart from closing the substation, the city council requires Iberdrola to provide
“an immediate explanation
for the incident two weeks
ago and transparency in apportioning blame, it reiterates its offer to exchange the
land so that the facility can
be dismantled and moved
immediately to a new location and also demands that
the Ministry for Industry,
Red Eléctrica Española and
Iberdrola all collaborate to
produce an Energy Supply
Plan for and in accordance
with the city of Valencia
and local residents”.
N
Key points
1) The city council has
closed the substation
down and demanded
from Iberdrola an explanation into the incident.
2) The town council is offering Iberdrola the opportunity to move the
facility to another location through a land
exchange scheme.
3) Local residents are
wary because Iberdrola is carrying out
repairs to the substation.
4) The city council wants
to draw up an Energy
Plan for Valencia.

part.
During these sessions the
staff from the Botanical
Gardens will show visitors
how to recognise the type
of soil needed by most common plants, using simple
methods to establish its texture and its make-up. They
will also be showing participants how to propagate
plants: they will look at
seedbeds, stem and leaf cutting, bulbs as well as studying ecological gardening

Blue flags are currently
being awarded, or reassessed where they are already
held, on beaches throughout Spain.
This prestigious mark is
given for cleanliness, safety
and quality of services and
facilities every summer.
Xeraco has received a
blue flag this year for making its beach easier to access for disabled people.
The only other beach in
the whole of Spain that has
been recognised for its su-
perior disabled facilities is
Sant Pol de Mar beach in
Barcelona.
In Xeraco, those with mobility difficulties can still
enjoy the beach thanks to
the help of specially-adapted chairs and ‘floating crutches’.
Volunteers are on hand
to help out, and wooden
ramps down to the sea with
handrails, adapted toilets
and showers, a large shaded
area and barriers to prevent cars from encroaching
wheelchair zones mean disability is no obstacle to enjoying a day on the beach.
‘Black widower’
netted thousands
A Sueca man who allegedly caused his young wife
to have a fatal car accident
has been tried this week,
judges reveal.
Joaquín R. P. is said to have
murdered María del Mar,
26, after less than a year of
marriage in order to claim
on their life insurance which was substantial.
María lost her life in a road
crash on the A-7 in Favara,
Sueca in May 1995.
Her vehicle veered off the
road and caught fire.
Forensics and pathologists
have taken nearly twelve
years to collate and examine detailed evidence.
A second autopsy on the
woman was carried out
three years after her death
in 1998, after a court order
allowed her body to be exhumed.
Joaquín and María married
in Spain in June 1994.
From September of that
year onwards, Joaquín
initiated five insurance policies on the life of María
with himself as the sole beneficiary.
The benefits of the policies totalled around 750,000
euros. One contract, with
a sum assured of 60,000
euros, doubled if the death
of the life assured was caused by an accident.
The car in which the accident occurred was a rental
vehicle, hired in María’s
name, although on the fatal
day it was Joaquín that was
driving.
Judges have arrived at the
conclusion that he first ran
the car off the road, before
knocking María unconscious, and then setting fire to
the vehicle with her inside.
Although some of the evidence seems to be clearcut,
such as multiple insurance policies, the amount of
time since the crime occurred complicates matters.
The trial continues.

Fined for refusing to

Politics
No vote from
the young
Young people in Benissa
seem uninterested in local

electoral candidate Vicent
Cabrera, the majority of residents aged 18 to 30 did not
turn out to vote on May 27.
Cabrera believes this may

generation are more inclined to vote left of the centre. In total, a whopping 37
per cent of benisseros abstained, meaning more than
2,800 residents did not vote.
Judge Laura Alabau will pay
for rebelling against the law
Samantha Kett
A judge has been forced to
pay a 300-euro fine for refusing to marry gay couples.
Laura Alabau turned down
a request to perform a
wedding between two women in Dénia in 2005, considering the act to be ‘unconstitutional’.
Her appeal was thrown
out by the Poder Judicial,
the judges’ governing body,
but the women subsequently decided not to proceed
with the marriage ceremony. At the beginning of
2006, Alabau declined to
marry two British men on
the grounds that it would
be illegal to do so in their
country of origin.
This
caused
uproar
amongst the British community in the Marina Alta,
who called it a ‘double discrimination’.
She is also said to have
criticised the law allowing
gay marriages in a written
communication to the current government.
In a disciplinary hearing
last week, the Poder Judicial declared Alabau had
committed a serious fault
according to the law of legal
powers, Article 418.3, which
relates to conferring authority on herself beyond her
jurisdiction.
Alabau, who describes
the disciplinary procedure
as a ‘persecution’, faces a
fine of 305 euros. She claims the Poder Judicial has
applied an ‘illegal’ interpretation as part of ‘government propaganda’.

‘conscientious
objection’
to marrying gay couples if
she does not believe in such
a union.

PROTECTED SPECIES: The Whale shark
A four-tonne shark was
washed to shore in the port
of Dénia on Monday.
The eight-metre-long whale
shark had become caught
up in fishing nets in the
strait between Cap de Sant
Antoni (Jávea) and the island of Ibiza.
Director of Valencia’s Oceanogràfic centre, Pablo Areitio, says the creature was
one of the largest examples
of its species found to date.
Whale sharks are beaten
only by whales in their size,
making them the secondlargest fish in the world.
They grow up to nine metres in length and can weigh
up to four tonnes.
Pilgrim sharks are a protected species, especially in
Asia where their fins, liver
and oil fetch a high price on
the market, but they do not
pose any danger to humans.
Areitio explains they are
usually found in the waters
around the British Isles, but
occasionally turn up in the
Mediterranean in search of
food.
They live on plankton,
swim slowly and, despite
their size, cannot be sold on
for food.
As a result, the fishermen
who accidentally caught
the dead shark 12 miles off
the coast of Jávea had no
option to throw it back into
the water to provide food
for prawns and salmon.
The creature had to be
towed ashore into Dénia
harbour by tow-truck.
Fishermen complained that
it had squashed their haul
of cod and scampi, meaning that at least half their
catch was unsuitable for
auction.
“They say that [the whale
shark] is an endangered
species, but I don’t know
why because at this time of
year we see lots of them,”
one of the fishermen commented.

Roman town Alonis
spurs new museum
Villajoyosa abandons hotel
and opts for Roman museum
Sergi Castillo and
Cornelia Muller
Valencian historians have
recently uncovered the Roman town of Alonis in Villajoyosa. The ruins were
unearthed during archaeological digs conducted prior to the construction of a
planned hotel.
Municipal architect and
professor at the University of Alicante, Antonio
Espinosa said: “This discovery is one of the most
important archaeological
achievements in recent
years in Spain. The sheer
size of the monument suggests that the Roman town
of Villajoyosa was more
influential than archaeologists suspected.”
The Roman town of Alonis
has been lost for three centuries. Artemidoro de Éfeso
called it Alonai, ‘island and
town of Massalia’, Claudio
Ptolomeo called it Alonis.
The Greek geographer
Estrabón located it in the
first century B.C. between
Júcar and Cartagena, “not
far from the river with the
same name.” Allon is mentioned in Roman scripts
and was always of great
interest to archaeologists
over many centuries. They
placed it in Guardamar,
Santa Pola, Benidorm and
Villajoyosa.
The lost town became a topic for myths and legends,
until recent archaeological digs conducted prior to
the construction of a hotel
confirmed the hypothesis
that the ancient town was
located in Villajoyosa. The
discovery has raised the
town into the select circle
of Roman historical monuments.
Now town hall officials
want to build a museum to
exhibit their findings rather than build a hotel.
Twenty-one years ago, Espinosa, started his work in
Villajoyosa, rich in Iberian
and Roman relics. The discovery of two peculiar figures awoke his curiosity.
One was the pedestal of the
Roman mayor and priest,
Quinto Manlio Celsino, and
the other was a large stone
tablet with an inscription
stating that Marco Sempronio Hymno had paid for the
reconstruction of the old
town market hall out of his
pocket.
This unique find together
with a number of other
pieces are now exhibits in
the town’s museum. The

disapproval of the 19 development plans that should

included three new golf

The Partido Popular obtained 6,000 votes in the
elections and the coalition

8,000 votes. “The citizens

ROMAN BATHS: Termas de Quirós - best conserved historic urban monument
presence of the mayor and
priest proved the existence
of a Roman town in Villajoyosa. Two decades later it
was actually excavated.
Espinosa was convinced
there was sufficient evidence to find the fourth Roman town in the province of
Alicante, after the discovery
of Ilici (Elche), Lucentum
(Alicante) and Dianium
(Dénia), each of which was
a capital in its territorium,
its municipal area. Alonis
was a privileged Roman
town, because it controlled the Roman legislation
of the emperor Vespiano
thanks to the so-called Lex
Flavio Municipales.
Historical research has
proven that the 1500-yearold town was deserted and
forgotten in the 7th century
and that its relics were buried under dust and soil. The
dangers of the coast drove
people away. But in the 13th
century Admiral Jaime II,
Bernat d’en Sarrià, founded
a Christian village in the
place of the old town. The
Renaissance town walls
from the 16th century that

Tourism is still booming on the Terra Natura puts
coast claims Hosbec president adventure online
José Joaquín Ripoll, president of the hotel association Hosbec in Benidorm,
the capital of tourism on
the Costa Blanca, said
in an interview with the
Spanish daily paper, El
País that tourism is still
booming on the coast.
Sr Ripoll also admits that
he would welcome a larger
budget for the tourist sector.
It has always been a successful industry, but unfortunately the authorities
have had more interest
in promoting the region
abroad to the foreign working population rather than
looking after the people
who work in the industry,
he claimed.
Sr Ripoll said that he is
proud of the achievements
of the tourist industry in
Benidorm.
For years the hotels have
had some of the highest
booking figures, although
last year was not a very
good year.
For the last four years 80
per cent of the hotel rooms
José Joaquín Ripoll
in Benidorm have been
booked. On average, more
than 40 per cent of all
booked hotel beds in the
region are in Benidorm.
For this year Sr Ripoll
is expecting an increase
in booking figures, since
Northern European providers of package tours,
such as TUI or Thompson
have promoted Benidorm
strongly.
He is, however, not satisfied with the promotional
efforts of the local authorities, nor their efforts to
train the staff and improve
the infrastructure of the
hotels.
Although Sr Ripoll claims
to be in favour of a free
market, he is ambiguous
about the continuous construction of new hotels
and alludes to a certain
saturation of the market.

Summer
break for
fishermen
The fishing fleet in Villajoyosa has started its ‘biological unemployment’ that
will continue until the end
of June and will affect all
the fishing fleets between
Torrevieja and Villajoyosa.
The Lonja of Villajoyosa,
the fishing port where the
fresh catch is usually sold,
will remain closed.
Only very few small boats
will be going out to fish for
octopus, but will sell their
catch in Altea or Calpe.
The fishing cessation gives
the sea life a chance to recover from the intense
fishing and the fish to reproduce. It was introduced
seven years ago. The fishermen use this time to repair
their boats and nets, and receive some state unemployment benefit.
In July and August it is the
turn of the fleets between
Dénia and Altea to observe
the closed season.
The fleets do not stop their
fishing activities for the entire summer, because the
tourist industry needs to
be supplied with fresh fish
and seafood in their peak
season. However, the fishermen still catch enough
to permanently reduce the
number of fish in the Mediterranean Sea.

Chinese seek

After 500 kilograms of meat
pre-cooked in China, was illegally imported and confiscated in Benidorm, Chinese
restaurants in the area are
now eager to improve their
image. They have joined a
restaurant association in

the first time that Chinese
restaurants have incorporated themselves in a local

done it in large numbers.
José Francisco Izquierdo,
the president of the association, said that the Asian
restaurants are eager to
show where they buy their
raw product and that they
prepare it “according to
the correct sanitary protocol”. They buy the food at
wholesalers where most local restaurants obtain their
products.
The association is satisfied
with the Chinese initiative.
“They are disciplined, want
to participate and show
that everything is in order.
We can offer them Spanish
classes and other vocational
courses.”

Doctor without proof
of medical degree
N
Llorca has not paid his taxes
and never registered with
any medical college
Cornelia Muller
Worrying rumours about
their mayor José Miguel
Llorca, stir the people in
Villajoyosa. He is suspected
of treating people in private
clinics without a proper
medical education. The
general council for doctors
confirmed that he is not
registered with them. It is
obligatory for any doctor in
Spain to register with them,
pay their duties, file a copy
of the degree at the council
and provide of proof of payment of the duties, none of
which the mayor has ever
done according to the council.
The national registry for
university degrees at the
ministry of education has
confirmed the same; Llorca
has not paid any duties and
is not registered as a doctor
who holds a medical degree.
The national registry is
the only institute that can
award degrees.
The mayor has always
claimed to have studied at
the University in Valencia.
The medical faculty in Valencia, however, have not
given any information on
this subject, since it is private and confidential information.
The mayor has refused to
make any statements. People close to him claim that
he has the degree, but that
he cannot find it. Information on Llorca’s CV was removed from the internet.
The four governing parties suspect that Llorca
may have started the studies, but not finished them.
The spokesperson of the socialist party, Gaspar Lloret,
Pedestrian way

José Miguel Llorca
said that it will be difficult
to prove it.
Llorca has been mayor
since 1999. He lost the
elections in May. His colleague Pedro Lloret, who
is the current director of
the private clinic, said that
Llorca saw patients and
prescribed medication. He
did not know if Llorca had
Doubts on Llorca’s career
• José Llorca is not registered with the general
Medical College.
• He is also not registered in the Medical College in Alicante.
• The national registry for university degrees
at the ministry of education does not have a
record on Llorca’s degree.
• Last Friday, the mayor’s office promised to
present the full decree documentation, but
still had not when the paper went to print.
• The website of the PP that mentions the
medical qualification on Llorca’s CV has been
deactivated.
• His business partner admits that Llorca’s
was seeing clients and writing out prescriptions, but does not know if he has a degree or
if he is registered with the Medical College.
• The opposition has asked the mayor to show
his degree, but Llorca has remained silent.
finished his studies.
In May 1998 Llorca
founded the society Centro
Médico La Creueta SL; he
was its president and advisor. Pedro Lloret Mayor and
Pedro Luís Ruiz Soler were
also members of the association; both are registered
as general practitioners.
In 1999 José Llorca, who
according to the website
of the PP studied law and
saw patients at La Creueta,
left university to become
mayor, and won the election with absolute majority.
He repeated this success in
2003, when he also broke his
affiliation with the clinic.
Sale of land under attack
The town hall in Villajoyosa
had planned to build a new
cultural centre with moneys achieved from auctioning public land.
The court in Alicante declared the decision of the
town hall from May 2006
null and void. It said in its
verdict from May 28 that
money from the sale of public land must be used for
the maintenance and improvement of public land or
buildings, or the construc-
tion of council flats and
other social institutions.
With this verdict, which
is in favour of an appeal
by the socialist party, the
town hall has to return the
9.52 million euros it had set
aside for the construction
of a new cultural centre.
The officials of the town
hall claimed that a cultural
centre would create a new
source of income.
The socialists claim that
the town hall obtained more
than 22 million euros from
the allegedly illegal sale of
the land. They also consider the plans badly prepared
and calculated. They are not
against the construction of
a cultural centre, but say
that the plans for the centre
will have to be revised.
The verdict makes a reference to LUV and says that
the land that was sold and
any profit obtained from
the sale is public property.
Ecologists fear dangerous
environmental damages
ALTEA: Dangerous pedestrian walkway
Last November a building collapsed in the Calle
Conde de Altea. Since then
the pedestrian way has
been closed and local businesses have suffered severe
economic losses.
It happened when the construction company Altea
Urbana put in the foundation of a new building next
to the 150-year-old partly
collapsed building. Fortunately, there were no casualties, but the town hall issued the immediate closure
of the pedestrian way and
with that the access to six
shops.
Now more than 200 days
have passed, but the town
hall does not seem to have
done anything to help the
shop owners to recuperate access to their premises. They filed numerous
claims, but the town hall
insists that there is a danger to the public that the
partly collapsed building
may fully fall down. “We
have started the paper work
to declare it a ruin”, said
the councillor for urbanism. In the meantime the
shop owners have to put up
a sign telling the public that
they are not allowed to walk
along the pedestrian way to
their shops.
Members of the environmentalist group “Compromís
pel
Territori”
demonstrated against the
development of the area
Saleres. It is situated next
to the village of Sella and
the local town hall is planning to build 180 new houses there. The spokesperson
of “Compromís pel Territori”, Antoni Garcimartín,
said that these plans for 300
new residents would double
the size of the village.
The demonstrators said
that the ground is not safe
and that they have observed
the first landslides and protested with large banners
saying “No to PAI Saleres”.
The works have allegedly
started without the necessary subdivision of the
land into individual building plots, so the spokesperson of the demonstrators
claims. He also doubts that
the necessary documentation is in place, since the
mayor Vicente Mas is the
owner of approximately
80% of the land and will
start whenever he wants.
According to the conservative mayor, although about
650 people are officially
registered in Sella, only 300
actually live there and the
new residents would contribute to the village. The
environmentalists counter
this with the fact that many
houses are empty and that it
is not feasible to build more
that will be empty most of
the year.
The building company behind the construction Sella
Hills claims to have conducted a geological study
on the viability of their
plans and have come to the
conclusion that there is no
environmental danger.
The protestors consider
the plans are excessive and
have applied to the ministry
of environment to paralyse
the works that were started
last week while the Guardia
Civil has imposed a temporary stop after an electricity pylon collapsed.

Compromís per Elx have

towards the needs of the
people. Their spokesperson
Pascual Mollà said that the
voters sent a clear message
that they do not want any
party to be the strongest
one.
PSOE and Compromís

to define priorities and de-

Now, in the aftermath
of the elections all parties
have started to analyse possible reasons for the loss
of votes for the left-wing
parties and the increase of
votes for the PP. According
to Jeroni Soler, a spokesperson of the Compromís
per Elx, the low participation at the polls, the lack of
motivation of the left-wing
parties and the equal presence of the PSOE and the
PP during the election campaign are the main explanations for the result.

Orihuela scandal as
arrests are made
Three arrests made amid
accusations of extortion,
nepotism, threats & bribery
“Operation Brugal” scandal
surfaces just days after the
election results in Orihuela
Alicia Negre and

Last Saturday, the examining court in Orihuela issued
a provisional prison sentence for the local businessman, Ángel Fenoll, his son,
Antonio Ángel Fenoll, and
a company director and PP
town councillor of Albatera,
Javier Bru.
They are accused of extortion, nepotism, threats
and bribery, and have to remain behind bars until they
go to trial.
Events that took place in
March 2006 help to explain
the arrest. At that time Ángel Fenoll published some
polemic statements about
a conversation with the
former spokesperson of
the Liberal Centre, Jesús
Fernández. They were recorded and both people, the
businessman and the politician, were talking about
blackmailing some local
town councillors to award
the contract for the rubbish
collection to Fenoll’s company in Orihuela.
The first movements in
this Operation Brugal happened this year on May 30,
and it is to be expected that
it will have more repercussions.
Police unexpectedly arrived at the property of Ángel Fenoll, arrested three
people and confiscated relevant material.
Fenoll’s
nephew,
his
brother and a private detective, were also arrested on
the day, but were already

which is done via a public
bid, and in which Proambiente, a company owned by
Ángel Fenoll, participates.

The installation of the
dump, whose approval by

lead the people of Beniel
and Zeneta to come out and
protest. Although the dump
will be located in the municipality of Orihuela, it
would be very close to the
two villages.
The mayor of Seneta,
Salvador Cánovas, described the atmosphere in
the village. “We totally disapprove of the plans, we
will do anything to avoid
the dump being built here.
We understand that it is necessary to have a dump, but
we are strictly against this
location, so close to the villages.”
If the dump is only built
two kilometres away from
the villages, they will have
to put up with the bad smells. The soil will accumulate toxic substances, and the
filters that take out some
substances will be emptied
into agricultural land where local farmers grow olives
and almonds, said the mayor.
The dump would process
rubbish from Oliva to Orihuela and during heavy
rain, the rain water would
run down to the village and

has passed bills for the municipal Institute of Culture
Joaquín Chapaprieta (IMC)
that amount to 1,185,531.51
euros. He claims that public
money is being funnelled
into the wrong channels
and those responsible for
it should be barred from
their offices. The councillor
claims that already in June
2006 an amount of 911,407.62
euros was paid for the same
project and he doubts that
any contracts exist to justify these payments.
The list of payments is
long. It includes painting
and repair of the submarine Delfín and the bow of the
boat Albatros – 20,000 euros;
chair rentals for concerts
– 96,802 euros; sound systems for events – 78,300 euros;

Martínez Andreu said that
all the members of the
board of directors of the
IMC should have equal civil
and penal responsibility, if
it can be proved that all these bills are null and void,
and will have to face the legal consequences.

and the trees were neglected and caught diseases.
The park covers an area of
300,000 square metres. The
town hall is hoping to buy
it from the local developer,
but who is not currently
willing to sell it.
Business
Salty
Torrevieja
The fiscal year of the salt
works in Torrevieja is
showing good figures. In
the last year which finishes at the end of June the
salt works have extracted
750,000 tons of salt.
The “salt harvest” as the
locals call it, has been successful over the last years,
although there was little
rain and many workers lost
their jobs due to the introduction of technology and
machines.
The salt lagoon in Torrevieja is fed with waters from
La Mata that come from the
sea. The water in the lagoon evaporates and leaves
the salt at the bottom. Both
La Mata and the lagoon in
Torrevieja are declared as a
natural park.
The salt extraction is owned by a Belgian company,
however, there are rumours
that it will put the business
up for sale.

Deciding on
split for
political seats
An example from the northeast: In the 2003 elections,
the PP obtained 27,305
votes, the PSOE, 22,675,
and the IU, 3,018. There are
four seats to be split among
them. Quotients are arrived
at by dividing the results of
each party by 1,2,3 and 4,
respectively. The four with
the highest quotients are
elected. In this example,
they would have been split

PSOE leaders prevent
Saura’s resignation
Recent election defeat
sparks deep crisis within
left-wing ranks
Daniel Vidal and
G. Lennon
The first executive meeting of the PSRM-PSOE
socialist party in Murcia
following their resounding
defeat at the recent elections ended with a closing
of ranks around regional
general secretary, Pedro
Saura, who withdrew his
offer to resign after receiving the full backing of all
members of the executive
committee. The meeting
started at 6.30pm last Tuesday on the first floor of the
regional headquarters of
the PSOE with a speech by
the general secretary, who
acknowledged defeat and
offered an explanation of
the possible causes. Saura
assumed full responsibility
for the result and concluded
his speech by offering to resign, but this solution was
unanimously rejected by
almost all members of the
executive, who each asked
him to continue as leader of
the PSOE in Murcia.
Executive
committee
spokesman, José Ramón
Jara, who is also the party’s
Municipal Policy secretary,
explained after the meeting: “support for Saura
was unanimous.” A press
statement
issued
later
confirmed that the executive had “expressed to the
general secretary its total
and unconditional support
to continue leading the opposition intelligently and
responsibly.”
Self-critical analysis
The next meeting of the
Regional Committee, which
is made up of around 300
party leaders from all over
the region, which Saura
may call next week, is likely to be more controversial,
however, as there will be
substantially more voices
raised in less restrained
criticism of the general
secretary’s
performance
than those heard last Tuesday. According to the press
statement, “a first self-critical analysis of the situation
was conducted” during the
executive meeting “focus-

NEW ADMINISTRATION: Valcárcel and the Mayor of Murcia
Local PP leader and acting
regional president, Ramón
Luis Valcárcel, dropped
the first hints about the
likely make-up of his new
administration last week.
Although Mr Valcárcel had
said on the 24th May that
“these times require considerable structural changes
in the government,” he said
last week that “there aren’t
going to be any big surprises.” Notwithstanding, Mr
Valcárcel confirmed that
he will fulfil his manifesto
pledge to create a regional
Culture ministry, and that
the regional Environment
ministry will henceforth be
known as the ministry of
“Sustainability or Sustainable Development” and Territory Order.
Furthermore, “a group to
foster research, development and innovation,” will
be set up.
The regional PP leader also
confirmed that he will invite the opposition to a debate about “the issues that
really interest the people
of Murcia,” but said that
“under no circumstances
would there be dialogue if
the opposition continues to
focus on the single issue of
corruption.”
With respect to national
politics, Mr Valcárcel indicated that, as soon as
the make-up of the new
regional government is
confirmed, his first job will
be to write a letter to the
socialist president of the
Spanish government, José
Luis Zapatero, to request a
meeting. At this meeting,
Valcárcel wishes to discuss
how relations between the
two administrations might
be improved.
ing,” explained José Ramón
Jara, who went on to explain
that a number of national
issues may have contributed to the defeat: “In regions
with strong support for the
Partido Popular, they have
been able to mobilise their
voters, while de-mobilising ours.” To achieve this,
they have used issues such
as peace negotiations with
ETA and the De Juana Chaos affair, added Jara.
According to official
sources, one of the conclusions reached by the exective
committee was to “maintain
the principles laid out in
the socialist programme,
while adapting the strategy
to meet local needs and to
continue working with the
same intensity as we have
been doing over the last few
years.” It was also agreed
to continue analysing the
election results and to reach
a consensus over the next
strategic action plan.
Local parties are key
to power in 9 towns
The large parties need to
pay attention to the small
parties and court them as
they will be key to future
politics. The small parties
will stand for it –or, not–
because the large parties
know that their futures depend on it. This is politics
in its purest form. This situation exists in at least nine
towns in the region, where
pacts either with Izquierda
Unida (IU) and Green party
coalition, or small local parties, will decide the identity
of the next mayor in each
town. IU regional coordinator, José Antonio Pujante,
indicated that the necessary coalition between
his party with the Greens,
meant that he would be
“willing” to enter into pacts
with the PSOE to form “progressive, left-wing and ecological” governments, but
only on condition that the
PSOE adopt a “clear stance
against corruption and
urbanisation agreements,
property speculation and
policies that damage the
environment.” According
to the results of last week’s
elections a tripartite coalition between the PSOE, the

IU and the Greens, could

Landmark surgery
at Murcia hospital
It is only the sixth Spanish
hospital to perform this type
of challenging surgery
Daniel Vidal and
G. Lennon
The first bone marrow replacement surgery on a
child at a Murcia hospital,
carried out by a multi-disciplinary team from the Haematopoiesis Transplant and
Cellular Therapy Unit led
by Dr José María Moraleda
at the La Arrixaca Hospital,
is a landmark achievement
not only for the municipal,
but also the regional Health
authorities. Furthermore, a
second operation is expected to be carried out soon
as the regional child bone
marrow transplant programme swings into action.
Until just a few weeks ago,
children from the region requiring bone marrow transplants had to be transferred
to hospitals in other regions
such as the Valle de Hebrón
Hospital in Barcelona, the
Niño Jesús in Madrid or La
Fe in Valencia. This meant
that, each year, around 1015 children as well as most
of their families had to be
uprooted for at least three
N
months, which was obviously very disruptive. It
was therefore one of the
main priorities of staff at
the Virgen de la Arrixaca
University Hospital, which
has always been the leading
centre in the region for other types of transplants such
as kidney or liver, to open
the bone marrow transplant
unit. The setting up of the
Haematopoiesis Transplant
and Cellular Therapy programme required a huge investment and represented
a massive logistical challenge for a multi-disciplinary team, led by Jose María
Moraleda, made up of specialist medical and nursing
staff including: onco-haematologists, paediatricians,
radiotherapists, intensive
care specialists, immunologists, microbiologists and
pharmacists. The first child
bone marrow transplant
operation successfully performed in the region was
therefore a giant step forward not only medically
and scientifically, but also
socially, for the Murcian
healthcare system.

At a glance: A complex and delicate procedure
Before the mother cells can be injected,
the patient must be prepared with high
dosage chemotherapy and/or total body
radiotherapy to eradicate the neoplasia,
or with immuno-suppressant agents if the
disease is not malignant. These days, there
are many types of transplant depending
on the source of the progenetive mother
cells (bone marrow, peripheral blood, or
umbilical cord) and a number of options
concerning pre-transplant preparation.
The procedure requires a highly trained
medical and nursing team assisted by a
multitude of other specialists, coordinators, and quality control tecnicians. It also
requires specially designed rooms to minimise the risk of infection and diagnostic
methods using complex technology and
equipment, which is why they only tend to
be performed at the country’s leading hospitals, offering patients maximum quality
guarantees.
performed to cure neoplasic diseases such as leukaemia, lymphoma, myeloma
and other solid tumours.
It is also the treatment of
choice for other blood diseases such as marrow aplasia or hereditary diseases
such as thalassaemia, immune deficiency disease,
and congenital metabolic
disorders. Despite its high
success rate, it is a very
complex procedure that is
often fatal when the transplanted marrow is rejected.
Bone marrow
transplants involve the injection
of progenetive haematopoiesic cells (mother cells) obtained from a hystocompatible donor, usually a twin
brother with an identical
HLA system, from a nonrelated donor, or from the
patient if the disease has
not affected his or her bone
marrow or if he or she has
already been treated. If
the donor is the patient,
the transplant is defined
as ‘autologous’, while if it
comes from someone else,
the transplant is defined
as ‘allogeneic’. The incidence of diseases requiring
bone marrow transplants
is particularly high among
children with acute leukaemia being one of the most
common neoplasic diseases
diagnosed in infancy (30%
of all detected cases of leukaemia). A bone marrow
transplant is the most effective treatment in children
with acute leukaemia and
other types of aggressive
cancers like high-risk neuroblastoma, Ewing’s Sarcoma and tumours that affect
the central nervous system.
It is also the treatment with
the highest definitive cure
rate for congenital diseases
such as thalassaemia, and
immune deficiency disorders.

1.5 million euros from their
illicit operations.
At the end of April, the

Lifeguards in full
force at Cartagena
Trained lifeguards and
volunteers will be placed at
various posts this summer
J. Andúgar and

Beaches in the Cartagena
area will have a total of
120 volunteer lifeguards
throughout the summer
season. Mayoress Pilar Barreiro signed an agreement
last week with the regional
government for funding to
be provided.
The Murcia regional government will grant 100,000
euros to Cartagena local
authority, which will cover
costs for 19 lifeguards.
Safety volunteers will be
on duty until September 30
on Playa del Barco Perdido
in Galúa and La Manga.
From next Friday, June
15 until September 15, this
service will operate in Cala
del Pino, Las Sirenas, Amoladeras (Entremares), Los
Nietos, Calblanque, Cala
Cortina and San Ginés (La
Azohía).
Throughout the months
of July and August, lifeguards will be on patrol on
the beaches of Calnegre
(Monteblanco),
Levante
(Cabo de Palos), Cala Reona,
Playa Paraíso (Playa Honda), Villas Caravanning, Islas Menores, Mar de Cristal,
Los Urrutias, La Chapineta
(La Azohía), Isla Plana and
El Portús.
In addition, beachgoers who ignore the red flag
warning that it is dangerous to swim in the sea could
face four-figure fines, according to Cartagena’s civil
protection unit.
Minor offences will at-
tract penalties of at least
700 euros, whilst those
bathers who “persistently
put in danger the lives of
rescue workers” could be
forced to stump up around
3,000 euros, confirms public safety councillor, Pedro
Martínez Stutz.
These measures aim to
prevent lifeguards from
having to put their own lives
in jeopardy by entering the
water to rescue swimmers
who ignore the red flag. According to the civil protection unit, the amount of
money amassed from fines
is ‘not important’.
“The essential point is
to make people pay attention,” says unit head José
Navarro.
“It’s sad that we’ve had to
reach this point, though,”
he laments.
However, he describes the
new byelaw as ‘a great satisfaction’ as it is hoped that
more lives could be saved
this summer by beachgoers
being concerned for their
finances.
During high season, certain activities and games
that may disturb other
bathers are forbidden on
the beach; domestic animals must not be brought
onto the shore and fishing
in swimming areas strictly
prohibited. These moves
should make beaches safer,
cleaner and more attractive
to tourists and families.
Moreover with less strain
on the emergency services,
those people who do fall
into genuine difficulties on
the beach or environs will
be able to be treated swiftly.

their council taxes.
Collection of asset tax (Impuestos sobre bienes inmuebles, or IBI), rubbish
collection rates, drainage,
taxis, central alarm systems
to the Local Police, and outside tables and chairs for
bars and restaurants has
started this week.
Around 194,691 demands
will be sent out and will net
the council some 33 million
euros.
The majority of this relates
to IBI, which has increased
by 5.35 per cent since last
year.
With the exception of 3,679
properties that have been
declared exempt, owners of
all homes in the area must
pay IBI.
Tax on fixed property relating to rustic (non-urban)
land and constructions accounts for 3,092 demands.
A further 8,290 correspond
with mains drainage and
rubbish collection in La
Manga; 385 for intruder
alarms connected to the
police station; 245 for taxi
licences, and 185 for tables
and chairs in the public
highway.
A total of 46 per cent of payments are made via direct
debit, a method the tax-collecting organization hopes
to promote. The number of
standing-order
payments
has increased by four per
cent this year.
According to the regional
tax-collection management
organization for the council of Cartagena (OAGRC),
payments can also be made
on-line via their website,
www.oagrc.com.
Taxes can also be paid in
cash at branches of the
Cajamurcia, the CAM, La
Caixa and Cajamar.
They can also be used at the
cashpoints of these banks,
by typing in the reference
number on the tax bill.
Some cashpoints have the
facility to read the bar-code
on the bill.
Those who do not pay
their tax before the expiry
date of August 6 could be
blacklisted or face a claim
against their assets, the
council warns.

Tabarca
Paradise is just half an hour away
Escape the madding
crowds, eye up the birds and
get close to nature - in and
out of the water...
By Samantha Kett and Berta Chulvi
At the first sign of sun, human nature dictates that
we flock to the beach, dip
our toes in the warm turquoise waters of the Mediterranean, relax and enjoy
the silence. Yet, given the
popularity of our beaches,
the latter is usually an impossibility when Mother
Nature blesses us with a
few UV rays and we are
more likely to find ourselves fighting for towel-space, getting sand kicked into
our sandwiches, and turning up our MP3 players to
drown out the cacophony
of screaming voices of the
thousands of other sunseekers who have had the
same idea. In the height of
summer, the shores of the
Costa Blanca and the Costa
Cálida become a true openair Tower of Babel.
Is there nowhere we can go
to catch a bit of a tan and
enjoy a dip without the
stress and hassle, without
turning into sweaty, hot and
cross human sardines?
Don’t all rush there at once,
as this would defeat the object, but the answer to our
prayers comes in the shape of a two-kilometre-long
island just a ferry-ride off
the south coast of the province.
On the isle of Tabarca, there is little chance of running into crowds of people
and even if sandcastles
and sunburn are not really
your cup of tea, the historical hub of its only town
against a stunning, green
backdrop, surrounded by
unspoilt beaches and clear
seas with colourful aquatic
life – both animal and vegetable, and probably mineral, too – mean that you can
get close to nature with or
without getting your feet
wet.
Tabarca’s name alone con-
jures up a magical image
and it is no accident that it
is the only inhabited island
in the Comunitat Valenciana. Declared an officiallyprotected marine reserve,
Tabarca is surrounded by
crystal-clear waters full of
natural beauty which lap
the shores of a paradisical
blue-flag beach, free of the
nose-to-tail sunbeds and
oceans of umbrellas that
many of the best of Spain’s
beaches attract at this time
of year.
Whilst Tabarca is accessible from Alicante, the journey is shorter and cheaper
from Santa Pola - by taking
the ferry, known as the Tabarquera, you will arrive in
just half an hour and will
have a taster of what is to
come on the short journey
by observing the marine
depths through the glass
bottom of the boat.
Known as L’Illa Plana, or
‘flat island’, because of its
elongated shape, Tabarca
is less than two kilometres
long and half a kilometre
wide, yet it still has stunning surroundings and as
long as you are not hoping
to go partying or shopping,
there is more than enough
to do to please anyone who
visits.
The sandy beach is on the
opposite side to the port,
although at this point the
island is at its narrowest
meaning the shore is just
a few minutes’ walk from
where the ferry drops you
off. This tiny cove has
the slight disadvantage of
facing onto the open sea,
meaning that the journey
can be somewhat turbulent
on not-so-calm days. However, the rocky beaches that
face onto firm ground are
usually extremely peaceful. If you want to get the
best of the natural seascape, a snorkelling or diving
mask is essential. You can
see with little effort a large
part of the typically-Mediterranean fauna to be found
there, swimming amongst
the most attractive marine
flora in the whole of the region.
Heritage in
miniature
If you get fed up with the
sun, the island has some
fascinating sights to see
whilst taking a stroll, particularly through the town
of Tabarca which has been
recognised as a historic-artistic heritage site.
First of all, take a look at
the San José watchtower
just outside Tabarca ‘town’
- which is in fact little more
than a tiny hamlet - a late
Tabarca is
surrounded by
crystal-clear
waters full of
natural beauty
18th-century construction
that served two purposes in
its day; one, to keep watch
over the shores for approaching invaders and two, as
the state prison. After the
mid-19th century, the tower
was once again redeployed
and became a lighthouse,
in an attempt to avoid the
habitual drownings and
shipwrecks that occurred
off Tabarca’s coast in those
days. Nowadays, the San
José tower wears a fourth
hat - that of this fascinating
little island’s major manmade attraction.
Next, take a closer look at
the historic settlement,
which is encased by the old
‘city’ wall that follows the
line of the coast. This fortification was built gradually
over the course of the 18th
and 19th centuries as the
island’s population began
to grow rapidly, although
far from being cordoned-off
to visitors the town is easily-accessible by three gates,
or porticos. The gateways
of San Miguel, San Rafael
and San Gabriel – the latter
known more commonly as
La Trancada (‘the barred-in
gate’) are still, to this day,
extremely well-preserved
and in themselves form one
of Tabarca’s main historical attractions.
Once inside the fortress,
make a visit to the San Pedro and San Pablo church.
So beautiful it warrants the
names of two saints in its
title, Tabarca’s diminutive
but exquisite place of worship is a fine example of late
18th-century Neoclassical
architecture with touches of
the Baroque, a period in art
history when sculptors and
painters allowed their imaginations to run wild and
gave vent to their most creative and extravagant side,
with no expense spared in
their pursuit of splendour.
Finally, before leaving the
quaint, winding streets
with their chocolate-box
white houses and balconies
adorned with colourful
flowers, take a peek at the
Governor’s House and the
Guard Barracks, fully-preserved even though no longer in use.

Tabarca ‘au
naturel’
Spending a night on the
island comes highly recommended as, once the last ferry of the evening has left
the port and the hustle and
bustle of the day dies down,
Tabarca becomes a haven
of tranquillity. Its sunrises and sunsets are some
of the most beautiful you
will ever witness and are
also when the majority of
the island’s bird-life comes
out of hiding, particularly
in the widest and lesser-habited part of Tabarca. Watching the blazing, crimson
skies reflecting against the
millpond
Mediterranean
waters, the silence broken
only by the occasional, melodic notes of the bird-song
or the rustle of the wind in
the trees, is a poetic, dreamlike experience.
Between the rise and fall
Tabarca is a
haven of
tranquillity.
Its sunrises
and sunsets are
some of the most

blazing crimson

of the sun you can drink in
your fill of nature on and
off dry land, taking in the
rich, varied and colourful
landscape and the wildlife
that goes about its business
every day apparently undisturbed by the madding
crowds just a few miles
across the water. A stroll
through the quiet countryside seems to make the
clock grind to a halt and it
is almost possible to forget
the human race even exists.
Yet life goes on in the rural,
remote parts of Tabarca
- maybe the homo sapiens
population is thin on the
ground but gulls, rabbits
and lizards are a regular sight as are numerous species
of land and sea plant that
grow wild in and out of the
water. Henbane, sea fennel, hawthorne and prickly pear are just some of the
species that the island’s
dramatic, green landscape
is home to. Aquatic plants
are common on land due
to the fact that absolutely
anywhere on the island is a
stone’s throw from the sea,
although native mountain
flora grows freely and untroubled.
Those who don’t mind getting wet and have the necessary equipment could
do worse than hit the waves
and explore the fascinating
colonies of marine life that
lurk below the surface. In
fact, it does not matter if
you are not a strong or confident swimmer, since a wealth of sea-creatures can be
seen very close to the shore
in shallow waters with the
aid of a snorkelling mask.
Sea horses, starfish, octopus, turtles, salmon and
an endless variety of other
species live in the posidonia plantations, which are
all easy to see depending
on how deep down you are
willing to go. The more adventurous, or accomplished
divers, will be in seventh
heaven when they discover
corals to rival those of the
Red Sea and even shipwrecked remains. As yet, hidden
treasure and the ghosts of
sailors whose voyage has
come to a tragic end have
not been discovered, but
these eerie shells of ancient
seafaring vessels are, in
themselves, a fascinating
underwater museum.
Those who have the great
fortune to live on the island
tend to be involved in the
hotel and catering trade,
as there are restaurants
and lodgings aplenty on
Tabarca. After a long day
sunbathing and exploring
nature, stop off at one of
these family-run eateries
and try the island’s unique
recipe, caldero tabarquí, a
succulent stew made of fish
and rice.
Legend has it that many of
the island’s natives are related to Berber pirates, the
Swiss aristocracy or Tunisian convicts, given that
these were Tabarca’s first
settlers. The latter were
brought over by King Carlos III in the 18th century,
along with some of his relatives from Geneva whom
he had rescued from North
Africa. Fearing for their li-
Once you set foot
on the island you
step back in time
ves, they escaped the Tunisian island of Tabarca with
the king’s help, an island
that our own crown jewel
off the Alicante coast was
named after.
The ‘new’ Tabarca also
came to be under siege by
pirates from the Berber
tribes, Morocco’s earliest
settlers, but nowadays it
is a tranquil hideout that
attracts visitors from the
mainland all year round.
However, in spite of the
fact that in the summer
ferries leave for the island every half an hour,
Tabarca remains largely
untouched by traditional
tourism. In fact, once you
set foot on the island, you
immediately step back in
time to the days when peace and quiet reigned, when
high-tech industry and
holidaymakers had not
even been invented, when
people lived off the sea
and the land and left their
doors unlocked. Crowds,
congestion and chaos are
alien to Tabarca, and if
this is what you are seeking to escape, take a trip
on the Tabarquera and set
sail for paradise.

this sheer
floral fragrance anytime, any

So fruity
so good
Dior’s cult R60/80 range keeps on getting better. Their new resurfacing wrinkle
corrector redefines skin texture in one
step, helping erase fine lines and wrinkles
and regain its smooth, youthful texture.
Its gentle immediate skin peel effect,
thanks to salicyclic acid, combined with
acacia gums, can even be applied on sensitive areas, such as crows-feet and lip
contours. Skin becomes renewed, radiant
and refined – the skin’s glowing freshness
is instantly restored, luminous, pure and
polished. After just one month of use, the
face and eyes have a softer appearance,
and tests have proved that after 30 minutes of use, wrinkles are reduced by up to
30 per cent. Sounds too good to be true?
Try it to believe it. Available in selected
retailers nationwide.
The under-eye area, the most fragile area of our face, loses moisture and elasticity easily, causing dryness, dark areas, lines and wrinkles. Japanese cosmetics house
Shiseido have come up with Benefiance - an innovatory new product that will temporarily drench the area with moisture, smoothing out lines and vanishing dark areas, to
give an immediate ‘lifting’ effect. Eye pads are simply pressed on the eye area and left
on for up to half an hour, within which time they will drench the skin with essential
moisture and vitamins, leaving skin radiant and luminous. To use: Apply 2-3 times a
week under eyes and peel off after 15 minutes. Our tester said: “I couldn’t believe it
when I heard about this product. I’m conscious about looking good – especially on
a night out. I was really keen to see what kind of effect the pads would have. I left
them on for about 20 minutes, after which time they just flaked off. It really looked
like I had just had 12 hours sleep, and my skin was beautifully smooth and noticeably
tighter. I would highly recommend them.” Shiseido Benefiance eye pads. Available in
selected retailers nationwide.

Spa treatment
by Alex Elgar
ttle spa
Treat yourself to a limagic
and feel as good as new
There’s nothing more relaxing or indulgent than treating
yourself to a one-or two-day
spa holiday – brilliant for
soothing those aches and
pains, while creating balance
and harmony. Although we
may think the concept of spa
breaks is a new phenomenon,
for years civilisations have
known about the power of
water and spas. In fact hydrotherapy – the use of water in
its many forms to assist and
promote healing of the body
– has been used for centuries
as a simple yet effective health
treatment.
What do spas do?
Spas literally heal the mind,
body and soul.As well as stimulating the blood and lymph
circulation, spa water tones
the body’s tissues and help
relieve congestion. What’s
more, the waters help the
bowels, ease pain, reduce fever relax, the nervous system
as well as toning the skin.
The idea of healing the whole
body with a hot bath is not a
new concept. In fact, the ancient Romans were masters
of the bathing ritual. They
would spend a whole afternoon at a public bath relaxing with a book or socialising.
After visiting the steam room,
they would dip into the hot
bath before plunging into the
frigidarium – or cold water.
The Greeks and Turks used
bathing as a tool to heal too.
And the tradition of therapeutic bathing continued
through the ages, becoming
especially popular throughout
19th century Europe.
Recreating your own
spa at home
You don’t have to spend thousands on a spa holiday to get
the benefits of water.
Baths are brilliant for decreasing stress levels, relaxing,
ease muscle strain, reducing
hemorrhoids and arthritis.
And according to recent research, a hot bath may actually be good for the heart
as hot water appears to dilate blood vessels and allow
more blood and oxygen to
get to the heart muscle. And
for those who prefer a cold
bath – itchy skin, asthma, mild
depression and flagging libido
levels may be relieved. There
is also evidence that suggests
that the cold treatment may
improve a low sperm count.
Run a hot bath, add a few
drops of your favourite perfume of aromatherapy oil,
light some candles, unplug the
phone, put on some relaxing
music… you’ll feel like a new
woman once you’ve finished.
Favourite spas of the

treatment, why not splash out
on a few days at one of these

and lymphatic circulation by

pleasant way to improve your
looks and physical condition.
Dilation of the pores due to
heat lets the steam penetrate
deep. The skin eliminates impurities and becomes clear,
elastic and soft. The Sea of

• If the therapist’s touch is
too rough or too light – tell
him or her. They are there to
give you the perfect spa experience, so don’t be shy
• Don’t feel you have to talk
to the therapist during treatment
• If you have a particular injury or physical condition, tell
the therapist. They can suggest the appropriate adjustments or enhancements to
treatments
• If pregnant, consult a physician before going to a spa,
particularly in the first trimester
• Mention any prescription
drugs you are using in order to avoid any services or
products that might irritate
your skin
• Try to come at off-peak
hours. This way, your spa experience may be more relaxing than when you’re there at
a more crowded time
• Always plan enough time for
your visit so that you can relax, have a drink or just simply
enjoy some solitude at the
end of your visit.This way, you
won’t be worrying if your visit
takes longer than you had anticipated.

Prescriptions – the terrifying truth
Doctors and pharmacists have raised the
alarm over a worrying trend that has come
to light in the last few months – that of false
prescriptions in order to obtain medication
not recommended by a GP.
Whilst chemists in Spain are a little more
liberal in their sales of drugs over the
counter – it is possible, as an example, to
buy antihistamines and antibiotics without a prescription – more and more fake
prescriptions have been found in circulation.
Both medics and chemists believe the current system of prescriptions is outdated
and open to fraud. Most pharmacists will
not dispense prescribed drugs unless the
prescription slip has the relevant doctor’s
Medical College number on it, so that he
or she can be traced. This also means the
chemist’s outlet can bill the College of
Pharmacists for the difference between the
over-the-counter price and the prescription
price.
As additional security, pharmacies put
in place a system last year whereby the
patient has to hand over his or her SIP card
to be swiped to validate the prescription.
Two months’ worth of meetings between
members of the College of Pharmacists
and the Official Medical College in the
Region of Murcia came to the conclusion
that the design of prescriptions should be
given a complete overhaul as, at present, it
is difficult to detect fraud and to check that
the signature on the document is authentic
and that of a practicing doctor.
Firstly, they agreed, a database of doctors
should be set up so the chemist can check
the College number on the prescription
against the medic’s name.
Secondly, those patients who need to take a
concoction of drugs long-term should be held
on a central database so medics and pharmacists can identify them. This will avoid
patients taking drugs that are contra-indicated and that they are not being given double
prescriptions for the same medication.
More help for long-term carers
In the same meeting, both doctors and
pharmacists
discussed
dispensing
incontinence pads free of charge throughout
the Murcia Region.
From June 1 this year, families and other
carers who are forced to spend over a thousand euros a year on incontinence pads
for their elderly or disabled charges will
be relieved of this financial burden and
can request these items on prescription,
confirmed a spokesperson from the College
of Pharmacists.
It is estimated that over 80 per cent of carers are female, and at least 80 per cent of
these are aged over 65. When an elderly
person becomes incapable of looking after
him or herself, it is usually the spouse who
is forced to take charge. Unlike in the UK

Do you have a question for Dr Millar?
E-mail us: [email protected]
Q
After three previous miscarriages
I have been told to take extra
precautions with any future pregnancy.
where there is a strong support network
and help from the social services is readily available, carers in Spain are resigned
to bearing the full weight of the burden
on their own shoulders – including the
expense. This is particularly harsh where
a carer is on an old age pension or has had
to give up work.
However, this latest move means a vital
saving for the hard-pressed, tireless family
members of those who are unable to fend
for themselves.
Prescriptions – what you
should know
● If you are exempt from paying for
your prescriptions (usually those on a
retirement or sick pension) they will be
on a red form. If your prescription is
green, it means you have to pay.
● When collecting your prescription or
that of someone else, the chemist will
need to swipe the patient’s SIP card
– bring this with you.
● Unlike in the UK, there is no blanket
price for prescriptions. This means the
cost can vary, but drugs on prescription are always cheaper than those sold
over the counter. Medication costing
100 euros or more can be as little as
three or four euros on prescription.
● Certain drugs you are given on prescription can be bought over the counter without one anyway. However, if
this is the case, you will be expected to
pay the full price.
● Your prescription should have the
doctor’s signature and Medical College
number – either handwritten or an
official stamp. Without this, you will
either be denied the medication or have
to pay the full price. Should this occur,
take the prescription back to the doctor
to add the relevant number, keep your
receipt, and you can claim a refund.
● Check your prescription for dates
so that they do not expire. Invariably,
if it is medication you take long-term
or that does not necessarily require a
prescription to obtain it, the document
will be undated.
A
I realise that it is very
upsetting to lose three
pregnancies in a row, and
it is really important that
you feel empowered to try
and prevent this happening
again.
Miscarriages are very common. Various sources give
anything from 10% to 30%
of pregnancies. The problem being that many reported possible miscarriages
are difficult to prove.
At least 50% of miscarriages that have been studied
show abnormalities that
cause the inevitable failure
of the foetus to survive.
These abnormalities appear
to be random and not linked
to any apparent genetic
fault in the parents.
Because miscarriages are
so common, and mostly occur before 12 weeks, it is
common policy to accept 2
miscarriages as ‘normal’ in
a healthy woman. Beyond
that, it is important to make
sure that there are no factors causing the losses that
can be favourably controlled.
Once a miscarriage has
started there are no clear
cut ways to prevent it.
Since you have had three
miscarriages you should
have been checked [along
with your partner] for any
genetic abnormalities.
Other checks should include:
● Hormone profile- Is
your progesterone too
low?
However, the advice was vague and
I am not sure how to make things
different?
● Any chronic diseases
or infections eg.diabetes
and lupus
● Any faulty dietary patterns
● Problems with the immune
system
and/or
blood-clotting (the latter
can be associated with
dental health problems)
● Uterine abnormalities
(ultrasound
and
MRI) check on the shape
and size of the uterus
and condition of the endometrium (lining)
● Blood group in case
you are Rhesus negative
and may have developed
antibodies during your
miscarriages
There are many things that
you can do to try and ensure
a healthy full-term pregnancy.
Check your position on the
following:
● If your progesterone
is low there are dietary
changes you can make to
improve this: drop levels
of sugar and starch intake. Everything you eat
that is not a protein turns
to sugar. High sugar
equals high insulin and
this encourages oestrogen production and can
cause a hormone imbalance with relatively low
progesterone.
● Cut out caffeine and alcohol (should have been
stopped months before
conception: connections
with foetal abnormalities,
and it is pure sugar)
● Use progesterone cream
at appropriate doses if
needed (yam and soya
based creams more closely resemble the bodies
own progesterones)
● Folic acid supplements
should be used in the
3 months leading up to
conception and up to 12
weeks after
·● Eat totally FRESH
foods: there is evidence
that
Bisphenol-A
(a
chemical in many plastic
wrappings and containers, and present in some
tinned goods ...peas being
the worst!) is associated
with ‘chromosome 6’ disorders, and this is associated with miscarriages
● Improve your intestinal health (and therefore
your absorption of nutrients) by using probiotic
supplements
● Get lots of good quality
sleep (your hormones are
made while you sleep)
● Make sure that you are
free of any pelvic infections
● Try to encourage the
equivalent life-style changes in your partner (the
health of both partners
at conception affects the
process)
● Try homeopathy, yoga
and/or traditional Chinese medicine techniques
to support your efforts.

Mia has matured into a stunning, young
woman and is ready to assume her role
as princess of Genovia. But no sooner
has she moved into the Royal Palace with
her beautiful, wise grandmother Queen
Clarisse, than she soon learns her days
as a princess are numbered--Mia’s got to
lose the tiara and immediately take the
crown herself. As if getting ready to rule
wasn’t enough, the stakes for Mia have
never been higher--with Genovian law
stating that princesses must be married
before being crowned, Mia’s in for a
parade of suitors who’d all like to be
her king.

The ever-naïve Cindy Campbell, seeking a career in home
healthcare, finds work with a creepy old lady in an even
creepier old house haunted by a ghostly presence.
Throw in a good-looking guy next door and the threat
of aliens intent on global domination and Cindy’s
instantly up to the top of her extremely blond
head in danger. Our fearless heroine catapults
into action once again struggling to decipher ominous messages from the beyond,
looking for love in some very weird places
and trying to save the world from mass
destruction. As she struggles to discover life-saving answers, Cindy encounters
horrific plane crashes, bodacious blind girls, village idiots, disheveled
rappers, kinky contraptions, psycho survivalists, alien sphincters and
even Oprah!

After years of looking for
Mr. Right, Charlotte ‘Charlie’
Cantilini finally finds the ultimate man of her dreams,
Kevin Fields--only to discover
that his mother, Viola, is the
woman of her nightmares.
A recently fired news anchor
who is afraid she will lose
her son the way she has just
lost her career, Viola determines to scare off her son’s
new fiance by becoming the
world’s worst mother-in-law.
While Viola’s long-time assistant Ruby does her best to
help Viola execute her crazy
schemes, Charlie decides to
fight back, and the gloves
come off as the two women
battle it out to see just who is
the alpha-female.

When childhood buddies Dan, a successful
but neurotic doctor; Jerry, a business high-flier
on the edge of burnout; and Tom,a Harleyriding wild child; reunite in Oregon at their
friend Billy’s funeral, their reunion kicks off
more than a little nostalgia. While reminiscing in
their childhood tree house, the trio discovers that
Billy had been pursuing their boyhood dreams
of finding legendary bank robber DB Cooper’s
$200,000 stash. Now with the map Billy left behind and a cereal box compass, Dan, Jerry and
Tom decide to fulfill their friend’s dream and go
on canoe trip to find Cooper’s cash.

Kyle Pratt is a frantic but fiercely intelligent mother whose
deepest protective instincts will be triggered by a haunting
in-flight nightmare: in the middle of the trans-Atlantic trip,
her young daughter turns up missing without a trace. Or
does she? Kyle arrives on the flight still reeling from the
recent loss of her husband, a woman who has gone mad
with grief or a formidably determined mother whose child
is in grave danger that threatens the entire plane? Adding
to the growing mystery is the fact that the name of Kyle’s
daughter doesn’t even appear on the flight manifest.
Furthermore, neither of the flight attendants can
remember seeing the child on the plane.

Investor, astronaut and scientist Dr.
Reed Richards’ lifelong dream is
close to being realised. He is spearheading a trip to outer space, to the
center of a cosmic storm. There he
hopes to unlock the secrets of the human genetic codes for the benefit of all
humanity. Extensive government grant
cutbacks nearly dashed the visionary’s hopes of the historic flight,
until Reed accepted a financing
deal with his old college rival,
Victor Von Doon, now a billionaire industrialist.

It is the summer of ‘66, and England is about to be consumed by World
Cup Fever. For 12 year-old Bernie though, the biggest day of his life is
looming: his Bar Mitzvah, and the day
he becomes a man. However, Bernie’s
family are increasingly distracted by the
threat of losing their business and their
wayward older son, and the scale of
Bernie’s Bar Mitzvah diminishes daily.
Worst of all the Cup Final is scheduled
to take place on the same day and when
England makes it through the qualifying
rounds, Bernie’s longed-for Bar Mitzvah
looks set to be a complete disaster.

Team America, an international police force dedicated to maintaining global stability, learns that a power hungry dictator is brokering weapons of
mass destruction to terrorists. The heroes embark upon a harrowing mission
to save the world. To infiltrate the terrorist network, Team America recruits
Gary Johnston, a rising star on Broadway to go undercover. Although
intially reluctant to sacrifice his promising career, Gary realizes that his acting gift is needed for a higher cause. With the help of Team America leader
Spotswoode and fellow members Chris, Sarah, Lisa and Joe, Gary slips
into an arms dealer’s hideout where he discovers that the terrorists’ plot has
already begun to unfold. From the pyramids of Cairo to the Panama Canal
and finally to the palace of power-mad dictator Kim Jong-Il, Team America
criss-crosses the globe on a desperate mission to preserve the very fabric
of civilization.

Divorce mediators John Beckwith and Jeremy Grey are
business partners and lifelong friends who share one truly
unique springtime hobby--crashing weddings! Whatever
the ethnicity of the wedding party--Jewish,
Italian, Irish, Chinese, Hindu--the charismatic and charming duo always have
clever back stories for inquisitive guests
and inevitably become the hit of every
reception, where they strictly adhere to
their proven “rules of wedding crashing”
to meet and pick up women aroused by the
very thought of marriage.

A brave-but-undersized pigeon, named Valiant, dreams of joining the elite Royal Homing Pigeon Service
and serving crown and country during World War
II. Despite his small stature, Valiant’s ambitions are
enormous as he keeps a stiff upper beak and endures
rigorous training in preparation for a dangerous
mission to deliver vital messages to troops behind
enemy lines. With a shortage of wingpower in the
royal fleet due to increased attacks by a brigade of
vicious enemy falcons--led by the ruthless General
Von Talon--the mission falls to Valiant and the unlikely
heroes of “Squad F” to try and save the day.

LEISURE
The writer’s publisher
Relocating here, with his
wife Hayley, was a process
that begun in earnest for
Ken Douglas two years
ago, when his employers
from St James’s Place in
London made him redundant. He formed Libros International with a guy he
knew from the gym, Trevor Dalton, as they were
both frustrated by the
lack of publishing opportunities available to
new authors. Both had
been rejected by agents
stating “we don’t deal
with unpublished authors” and inevitably
by publishing houses
claiming “we only deal
with agents.”
Having gone through
such negative channels
personally, they wanted to
give new authors opportunities. They claim they will
“not reject any author because he or she is previously unpublished”, currently
accept any genre of writing
and they insist all manuscripts will be read. (For
guidance on submissions,
go to www.librosinternational.com)
Their current crop of writers includes Jill Lanch-
Many Sky channels

need for an English
address or bank
account
bery, Willie Meikle, Martin
Penalver, Rob MacKellar,
Mike Hillier and Jacqueline Blakeaway, and several
more new writers from the
Jalón Valley will be published this year. One author
has just been approached
for film rights to his novel,
and Libros have ambitious plans to submit many
of their authors for book
awards next year – ranging
from the Crime Writers
Dagger Award to the Bram
Stoker Award for Horror
to the Orange Prize for
women’s’ fiction.
“Speaking to other publishers at the London Book
Fair this year, I suddenly
realised what success we’re
having. A medium-sized publisher told me proudly that
after seven years they now
put out 30 books annually. I
think we’ll be in that position in about four months
from now.”
Ken is amiable and eager,
even though he cites crazy 60 hour weeks at work.
He oozes pride over his
authors, admits they have
improved on the original website which looked
amateurish, and outlines
plans to have salaried staff
this month, and financial
rewards for his team of editors who currently work on
a profit-share basis. Already
Libros books are selling on
Amazon, albeit slowly, and
the marketing plans are in
place for more signings on
the Costa Blanca in book
stores, hotels and swanky
restaurants. They are also
setting up Swordfish Publishing International to
cover true-life stories, ‘howto’ books, manuals, travel
and self-help books – a more
specialised market. Swordfish came about because
they received a unique book
that they wanted to publish,
that didn’t fit within their
fiction range.
“It’s called Sexy Balls and
it’s a piece of research
about lovemaking on exercise balls! It took five years
to write and 35 couples helped to road-test the exercises which detail how to
burn off calories, tone muscle groups and have great
sex at the same time!”
Why choose the Costa
Blanca for Libros International?
My advisory position with
St James’s Place meant I
had been coming out here to
talk to clients as a financial
advisor. Then they made me
redundant and I realised I
wanted something challenging of my own. I’d already
had one book published,
and I literally joked in the
gym to a guy I’d met one
day ‘How hard can it be to
set up a publishing house?’
He had a book deal awaiting
his signature, which he ripped up to join me in creating Libros. The printers
we initially approached
dismissed us, as we had too
few books to be worth considering, but after the response of our initial advertising
(where we asked for editors,
writers, readers, illustrators etc) we realised that we
were sitting on an incredible opportunity.
Are you happier as a publisher than you were as
a Wealth Management
expert?
It has seemed like Fate. My
philosophy on life is What
will be, will be, and the success of Libros International
– after one year in business,
we have 8 published titles,
another 10 set for next month, and 10 after that, and a
total of some 170 possible
manuscripts on our database, – all this seems to indicate we are doing the right
thing. The fact that I enjoy
it hugely is a bonus!
Can you predict any future stars from among the
authors you have recently signed?
Certainly! Phillip Spires
book Mission is going to be
massive – it has everything
a good book should – characters, meaning, startling
locations and some 180,000
words for the reader!
How does your Readers
Group operate?
We have over 30 people of
different ages and backgrounds who read books
submitted to Libros. Recommendations from the group
then mean it will be read by
one of the senior partners,
like Trevor and myself. If
more than 6 of the readers
like it, you know it’s going to
be worth publishing. Some
of our readers actually give
quite detailed feedback and
suggestions, but all of them
do it for love – they don’t get
paid – although they have
the satisfaction of seeing
a book they’ve recommended make it to print. Anyone can be a reader for us
– contact our Head of New
Manuscript Submissions,
Dawn Harman, via dawn-
librosinternational.com to
find out more.
Are you really Libros INTERNATIONAL – where
are your authors from?
We now have manuscripts
from Botswana, Poland,
India, New Zealand, Australia, the USA, Spain and
the UK. I have just sold the
foreign rights for one of
my novels to be translated
into Polish. We have been
stunned by the amount of
good writers we’ve discovered on the Costa Blanca,
through writers groups
and word of mouth, but we
have a base here, an office
in the UK and we are in the
process of sorting out an
office in Manhattan, NY.
An American author, Colin
Doran, that we’ve just accepted who had been trying
without success for 10 years
wrote to us saying “You
guys rock!” It is genuinely
an international effort.
It seems that for all his financial background, what
moves Ken most is that his
writers are ‘over the moon!’
One first-timer upon receiving a contract from Libros
said “Not bad for 79 years
of age!” Even those they
have had to reject, like to
receive
acknowledgment
that their book has been
read. “Maybe in the future
some of that will change,”
Ken shrugs. “But in the
meantime, we’re going to
offer everything we wanted
to receive ourselves. We’re
running competitions for
children, compiling a charity anthology of new writers and poets, we have a
book illustrator on board,
we’ll take on new editors to
keep up with demand (they
currently have 16) and we’ll
be finding new ways to
showcase the authors we
already have.”
Forthcoming books from
Libros International can
be seen every week on our
Book Review page – where Libros authors review
favourite books in their
genre.

picture. The media are
instrumental in this social
awareness and you may be

CINE ROMA
He’s the music; she’s the lyrics. Alex
Fletcher (Hugh Grant), is a former
80s pop star barely making his rent
with gigs at state fairs, amusement
parks and just about anything his
manager can book him on.
Alex’s highly successful career
never required him to write lyrics
- something for which he has little aptitude, except for knowing a
good one when he hears it and an
ability is to turn poetic phrases into
music.
When pop diva Cora Corman (Haley Bennett) asks him to produce
a hit song he’s got to hire a lyricist
quick. In steps Sophie Fisher (Drew
Barrymore) to water his plants, but
pretty soon she’s coming up with
great lyrics and catching Alex’s eye
into the bargain. This is the usual romantic-comedy formula but the
elements of the story and off-beat
subject matter, with the somewhat
unexpected chemistry between
these two actors, are a pleasant
surprise.
Grant’s comedy style is no different
than anything else he’s done, but
it’s perfectly attuned to the material.
The big surprise is Haley Bennett
who is not only gorgeous but who
performs big production numbers
like the sexiest popstars out there.
Drew Barrymore is always engaging, occasionally giving a flash of
that heart-warming smile that she
first employed to good effect in ET.
If you can forgive the stereotyping
and get swept along with the music and romance this will ring all the
right bells.
Just don’t take a jaded husband or
bored teenager along – much better for a night out with the girls, especially if you enjoy Hugh Grant as
a lopsided comedy heart throb.

In San Francisco circa 1981, Chris Gardner’s luck has
run out. A bad business investment, a bevy of parking
tickets, and back taxes in addition to rent, childcare,
and groceries keep him constantly scrambling for
cash. Chris thinks his luck is changing when he is accepted into a highly competitive internship program
at a brokerage firm. But the internship is unpaid and
soon, despite his best efforts, Chris and his five-year
old son Christopher find themselves homeless.
When Macy was in the UK on GMTV, and I heard
her comeback single, it rocked my songs off. Never
really liked her before because of her voice. Well,
things have changed. Her songwriting dynamic has
changed so much that I am now a fan. How things
change. Finally Made Me Happy has to go to #1 as
it’s a very attractive but yet deep meaningful song. I
loved the whole album.
A must album for anyone’s CD collection.

Book review
The Moro
cookbook
by Samantha & Samuel Clark
Although this is a ‘celebrity’ cookbook
in that the writers have a high profile
London restaurant, it couldn’t be further
away from the complicated recipes so
often found. True, some of the ingredients
could be hard to find outside of Spain, but
the authors have provided a very helpful
glossary of suppliers for these. Just likeThe
River Café Cookbook, Moro delivers the
tastes of the Mediterranean with tapas
favourites such as tortilla, sweet peppers,
anchovies, sardines and chorizo, but unlike most coffee-table books this is really
about cooking; realistic, in the kitchen
sink, with flour on your nose-type cooking.
Samuel and Samantha Clark, chef-owners and writers, have a passion for the
intense flavours of the cuisine of Spain,
North Africa and the Eastern Mediterranean. For instance, the hint of saffron-cinnamon meets the robust style of Spanish
cooking, the more exotic Muslim dishes,
contrast with the wonderful fish tagine,
for example, which is a simple ‘throw it together’ recipe.
Inventive combinations abound, like
the colourful and rich charcutería ceci-
na with beetroot and almond sauce
and grilled quail with rose petals. If you
thought you knew what to expect from
paella, try monkfish paella with saffron or
pork, chorizo and spinach, or chicken, artichokes and oloroso sherry. All of which
might not leave much room for the bitter
chocolate, coffee and cardamon cake
or the Málaga raisin ice-cream.
This is an inspirational book, with recipes
well within the reach of a competent
home cook, and a feast for the eyes,
with mouthwatering pictures, courtesy of
Pia Tryde. For me, this book was inspiring,
with its simple, delicious flavours and fresh
unpretentious style. The Moro Cookbook
(paperback) from good bookstores,
priced from €14.50

Pulse notes
Q
Is there a way to
tell if your foot
is broken or sprained
without an x-ray?
I was playing football
in my garden at a family gathering and when
I went to kick a ball
it was on a tree root
and I kicked the tree
root instead! My foot
and toe are still swollen. It’s still extremely
painful 24 hours later. I
have to walk on the outside of my foot, but it
still causes pain on the
inside of my foot. It’s
bruised. It hurts where
my big toe meets my
foot.
I’m keeping it elevated and I have ice on it
when I am sat down.
A
The signs and symptoms you are describing (swelling, pain, bruising, etc.) are all indicative
of a possible fracture, but
it could just be bruised.
A more indicative sign of
a fracture is something
called crepitus which is a
first aid advice from PULSE FIRST AID TRAINING
sound we would listen for
when assessing wounds
and injuries. Crepitus
is the grating/grinding
sound that two broken
bone ends make when
they rub against one
another.
Otherwise, the only way
that you can be sure is by
having your foot x-rayed.
First Aid for people with
foot injuries consists
largely of elevation and
the use of a cold compress.
What you have done in
terms of treatment so far
is fine although I feel that
you should not be putting
pressure on the foot and
need to go to the hospital
as soon as possible since
loose bone ends can cre-
Ingrown toenails
Ingrown toenails are known to Podiatrists as Onychocryptosis. They are common, painful conditions that occur when the skin on the side of a toenail
grows over the edge of the nail, or when the nail grows into the skin.
CAUSES
Ingrown toenails can
develop for many reasons. In some cases, the
toenails are simply too
large. People whose toes
curl (congenitally or from
disease such as arthritis)
are prone to onychocryptosis. Trauma, such
as stubbing a toe or having one stepped on can
cause a piece of the nail
to jam into the skin.
Frequent running also
can cause ingrown toenails. Ingrown nails can
be caused by trimming
them incorrectly, causing
them to regrow into the
skin, by excessively tight
stockings, or by shoes
with narrow toe boxes.
Bedridden patients commonly develop ingrown
toenails if the bed sheets
are kept tucked in too
tightly.
SIGNS AND
SYMPTOMS
Ingrown toenails should
be treated as soon as they
develop. If the skin is red,
painful, or swollen on the
sides of the nail, there
may be an infection. In a
warm, often moist, and
bacteria-rich
environment, there is convenient entry for germs that
can cause infection. At
first, the skin around the
nail may be mildly red
or inflamed. Untreated,
the nail can go under the
skin, causing a severe
infection. The infection
should be treated with
antibiotics. People who
attempt to fix an infected
toenail themselves may
worsen the problem.
TREATMENT
Uninfected ingrown toenails can be treated following this regimen:
● soak the feet in warm
soapy or salt water;
● dry them thoroughly
with a clean towel;
● apply a mild antiseptic solution to the area;
and
● bandage the toe.
Various over-the-counter
preparations are available
that can harden the skin
and shrink the soft tissue
along the edge of the nail
so it grows normally. A
soft, foam toecap can be
worn while the ingrown
nail heals.
If excessive inflammation, swelling, pain, and
discharge develops, the
toenail probably is infected and should be treated
by a Podiatrist. A podiatrist can trim or remove
the infected nail with a
minor surgical procedure. A portion of the
nail or overgrown skin
is removed with a scalpel and the infection is
treated.
If an ingrown toenail
recurs, it may require a
more permanent solution.
A small portion of the
nail and nail matrix (part
of the nail that actually
grows) is removed with
a scalpel or burned with
a concentrated chemical solution. This is done
under local anaesthetic. It
makes the nail narrower
and prevents a portion
of the nail from growing
back, ensuring that it will
not irritate the skin. The
chemical treatment is
less invasive and causes
mild inflammation that
lasts about a week. This
procedure often cannot be
used in severe infections
because the chemical used
(phenol) may be neutralised by the infection. In
these cases, the Podiatrist
must remove the infected
nail with a scalpel.
PREVENTION
Unless the problem is congenital, the best way to
prevent ingrown toenails
is to protect the feet from
trauma and wear shoes
with adequate room for
the toes. Nails should be
trimmed straight across
with clippers to a comfortable length with the
corners gently filed. Your
Podiatrist may recommend regular treatment
to round the edges professionally.
Should you be concerned about your feet you can contact

lead to infection.
A question about food
poisoning ...
Q
How rapidly after
consuming a contaminated
food
or
drink will a person
start to feel ill?
How dangerous can
food poisoning be and
what would need to be
done in response?
A
The answer to this
is not straightforward and depends on
many factors such as the
amount and type of toxins in the product along
with the age and health
of the person involved.
The symptoms of food
poisoning may develop
rapidly within hours or
they may not occur up
to a couple of days after
eating the contaminated
food. Commonly food poisoning can be dealt with
at home but it may be
advisable to seek medical
advice for very young or
elderly victims. The main
problem is dehydration
due to vomiting and diarrhoea and it is important
that any person suffering from food poisoning
is given plenty of bland
fluids to drink… definitely avoiding caffeine and
alcohol which add to the
dehydration issue. The
local pharmacies will be
able to sell you a rehydrating product which is
isotonic and hence easily
absorbed from the digestive system. These products also provide the necessary quantities of salts
such as potassium and
sodium. Commerciallyavailable isotonic sports
drinks are not so good as
they can irritate the stomach.
As with all First Aid situations your aim is to try to
ensure that the condition
of the patient does not
worsen significantly and
they go into shock due to
fluid loss and you have to
phone for an ambulance.
Try to keep them resting and comfortable and
encourage them to keep
drinking the fluids you
give them.

Volunteers needed for
HELP charity shop
Spain goes solo
On Friday June 1, Jávea
Bridge club participated
in The worldwide simultaneous pairs tournament. There were 5,008
pairs from 257 clubs, located in 36 countries participated. We were the
only participating club
from Spain. Members
have been able to watch
their results see saw as
the results came in from
different time-zones and
they have yet to be finalised. We hope to have a
pair within the top rank,
because we provide stiff
opposition for our strong
pairs.
You don’t have to be over
90 to work in our charity
shop but our oldest volunteer, Evie, is 99 years
young, and part of a
friendly team that gives
up one morning a week
to staff the shop. However, more volunteers
are needed in the HELP
charity shop in La Xara
as the summer season
approaches. The shop is
an important source of
income for the charity,
and is used to provide
equipment that the local
hospital and health centres cannot afford, such
as special beds. So if you
can spare a morning on
a regular basis, or can
offer to be a reserve on
odd days, ring the shop
on 96 642 70 44 and speak
to Martha, the shop manager, or call in to see her
one morning.
The shop hours are
9.30am to 1.30pm, except
Saturdays when it closes
at 1pm. The summer is
usually a busy time for
the shop, so extra hands
are needed, and you don’t
have to speak Spanish to
work here, though some
of the staff can speak
other languages.
The shop also provides
medical equipment on

International Jávea festival and private parties. The
band comprises Des (Irish Des) McGillycuddy (vocals
and lead guitar), Nick Hollings (vocals and keyboards),
Rowdy Willemsun (vocals and bass), and Nigel Clegg
(drums). They have many years of experience playing all
types of music and their repertoire includes classic rock

makes them a joy to listen to.
Des worked as a professional musician in Ireland clocking up numerous television appearances and touring
Ireland and the UK with his band. He started playing

AVE fast speed train
causes spat in senate
“Murcians discriminated
against” claims Peñarrubia
in terms of infra-structure
The fast-speed train line
from Murcia to Almería will
have two new stations, confirms the minister for public
works.
Magdalena Álvarez says
the AVE line will have stops
in Lorca and in the Almeríaprovince town of Vera.
The minister was recently asked by PP senator José
Joaquín Peñarrubia Agius
why Vera had been chosen
over Lorca, coincidentally
his home town.
Álvarez responded that
the question ‘made no
sense’ and said the ministry
had decided to open the station in Vera in addition to
its original choice of Lorca,
not instead of it.
During the conference,
Peñarrubia
commented
that “a train that stops
every 40 kilometres is not a
high-speed train” and that
in his opinion the Murcians
were being ‘discriminated
against’ in terms of providing infrastructure.
According to reporters
present, Álvarez retorted
that the Murcians were not
discriminated against but
“only have the bad luck to
have a party in office, the PP,
who systematically pulls the
wool over their eyes.”
Peñarrubia says he intends to write to the national government senate to
ascertain whether the rail
link will be a ‘high speed or

Road-resurfacing is set to
be carried out in the Puerto

An agreement has been reached between the council
and the regional government to provide funds to
improve the condition of a
number of country roads.
The roads Cabezo de la
Jara, Los Francos, El Pino,
El Marinero, CementerioCañada de Aragón and the
land running from Los Gálvez to La Finca Los Pascuales will be re-tarmacked, local authorities confirm.

Shiny new
fire engine
Fire-fighters in Águilas
have been given a new fire
engine
vehicle
costing
190,000 euros to improve
their fire-fighting capacity.
The vehicle also has an improved capacity for 2,700 litres of water and 300 litres
of foam together with a complete set of equipment for
extinguishing fires. Additionally, the council funds
have purchased equipment
for cutting metal which can
be used for rescuing people
trapped in vehicles.
Lorca’s ‘artists’ corner’ is
expected to be open within
a year and a half.
With the aim of promoting
local and regional arts and
crafts, a multi-purpose pavilion with seating for 412
will go up in the town. Work
has already started and will
continue throughout the
month of June.
The centre, which will also
be used for conferences,
will have a large, decorative patio for holding craft
markets and exhibitions,
with a panoramic view of
the Torre Alfonsina and the
higher parts of Lorca.
A total of six million euros,
partly funded by the regional government, has been
invested in building the
centre and promoting traditional handicrafts.
It is expected that the ‘artists’ corner’, or Barrio
Artesano, will be open to
the public within 18 to 20
months.
TRANSPORT: More train stations will slow AVE high-speed train
high cost’ train and to find
out the exact investment
and dates for completion of
the works.
“At the moment, there are
still no firm commitments,”
he added. He believes there
are political reasons behind
the choice of Vera for the
AVE stop, linked to the fu-
ture provincial elections.
We shall have to wait and
see whether passengers prefer access over speed when
it comes to train travel.
Mazarrón port’s new look
SEAFRONT: El Barrio Artesano has been renovated
A brand-new esplanade has
given a new face to the port
of Mazarrón.
The seafront promenade
has been revamped and
several benches put in place for walkers to rest and
contemplate the view of the
port.
Popular
with
tourists
and expatriates from the
EU, mainly the UK, the
esplanade’s
new
look
has been well-received by
walkers, all of whom have
commented on its attractive
design.
However, the red tape has
not officially been cut, as
the works were delayed over
more than a year.
This means many of the
shops in the area are still
closed.
Despite the esplanade’s new
image, all is not well with
works on the port, reveals
the left-wing PSOE party.
Its representatives announced in April that it would
bring a case before the supreme court over defects in
the construction.
Work was due to start on
a leisure port in 1996, although the contract was
finally awarded in 2003 to a
non-profit-making association.

that there will be a new
attack on America ‘which

demanding the immediate
withdrawal of soldiers
and spies… while stopping

VLADIMIR PUTIN: Issues stern warning
Castro makes TV appearance Coma patient wakes
up after 19 years
after months of illness
Cuba’s leader Fidel Castro
reappeared on Cuban
television this week for the
first time in two months, to
speak about his recovery
and answer questions
from the press.
Castro, who handed over
responsibilities to his
brother, Raúl, last July
when he fell ill with an
intestinal illness, appeared
healthier than in previous
videos broadcast.
Castro, the world’s longest
serving leader, will turn
81 in August. He stated
that his illness was not
longer a secret, but did not
comment on the possibility
of a return to power, nor
did not mention Cuba’s
internal situation.
FIDEL CASTRO: Back on form
In addition, he talked
about the recent of
Vietnam’s leader, Nong
Duc Manh, to the island
and commented on matters
related to the environment
and the production of biocombustible fuels.
A rail worker from Poland
has woken up after being
in a deep coma for nineteen
years, even though doctors
dismissed the possibility
that the man would ever
regain consciousness.
Jan Grzebski from Dzikow
was involved in a serious
work accident in 1988
and fell into a deep coma.
Contrary
to
medical
prognosis,
his
family
refused to believe that he
would never wake up and
cared for him night and
day for twenty years. Two
decades later, their prayers
were answered.
Jan lost consciousness
in Communist Poland
and regained it in a free
and democratic Poland.
In addition, he had four
children at the time of
the accident; now he has
eleven grandchildren.
Doctors have been unable
to explain the case, but
recognise that his recovery
was in part due to the
excellent level of hospital
care, and in particular, the
continued devotion of his
wife, Gertrude.
Jan said: “I know that I
owe a lot to the hospital,
but above all I owe an
indescribable amount of
thanks to my wife, who for
20 years has not abandoned
me for one moment and
has always been by my
side, doing all that has
been necessary. I feel that
to her I owe my life.”
Princes fury over Diana car crash photos
Pleas by Princes William
and Harry to stop Channel
4 issuing previously unseen
photos of Diana at the crash
site in the Paris tunnel where
she died in a soon-to-be
broadcast documentary called
Diana: The Witnesses In The
Tunnel, have been rebuffed by
the channel’s heads.
The princes’ private secretary,
Mr Lowther-Pinkerton, wrote
to executives in Channel 4,
asking: “If it were your or
my mother dying in that
tunnel, would we want the
scene broadcast to the nation?
Indeed, would the nation so
want it?” Yet Head of Channel
4, Julian Belemy replied: “We
have weighed the princes’
concerns against the legitimate
public interest we believe
there is in the subject of this
documentary. The interviews
provide the most detailed and
credible eyewitness account
yet delivered of the crash.”
There have been widespread
calls to scrap Britain’s new
2012 Olympic logo, just days
after London’s Olympic
Committee unveiled it to the
public this week.
The logo, which took one
year to design and cost
£400,000, will be at the heart
of the campaign to help
raise £2bn of private money
to help pay for the running
of the Games.
The logo, which is never
static, has been designed
with ‘edgy’ jagged writing,
and comes in pink, orange,
green or blue, colours that:
“create energy, inspiration
and interest.” Due to the
movement of the logo, it has
apparently caused seizures
in some epilepsy sufferers,
and over 5,000 Londoners
have signed a petition to get
it scrapped.
Sir Coe, the Olympic
Chairman stated: “We don’t
do bland. This is not a bland
city. We weren’t going to
come to you with a dull
or dry corporate logo that
will appear on a polo shirt
that we’re all gardening
in in a year’s time. This is
something that has got to
live for the next five years.”
However, critics of the new
logo were calling it ‘rubbish’
and an ‘insult to Londoners’
intelligence’.

Your number’s up
Unlike the usual adrenalin-filled, biting-nails-to-the-elbow,
caffeine-mainlining, screaming and turning the air blue
that usually comes with press day on the otherwise civilised
Planet ThinkSPAIN|today, I began last Thursday playing
sudokus on line, forwarding jokes to all my mates via email,
filing my nails and nipping out for cigarettes when it all
became too much. Anything, in fact, to avoid being gainfully
employed.
I got away with this for about the first twenty minutes of the
day before my colleagues began to screech at me, demanding to know what I was doing with my feet on the desk when
they were busy having nervous breakdowns.
I explained that it was international Día sin trabajo, or so
I’d heard, anyway.
However, a close friend and colleague of mine, who gives me
a stern lecture every time I light up and regularly graffitis
my cigarette packets with dire warnings in valenciano about
the state of my lungs, informed me I’d got it all wrong. It was
actually international Día sin TABACO.
The mere thought stressed me out to such an extent that I
immediately had to rush outside and have a fag.
As with any addiction, international days dedicated to
abstaining are not likely to have much effect. Yes, I know it’s
bad for my health, but what’s the point of an addiction that’s
good for you? Plus it’s hard to be Superwoman AND have no
vices. Even celebrities do. Every time we read a magazine we
see a story of an overpaid superstar checking into rehab.
I have a bet that it will not be long before we see celebs admitting themselves to five-star luxury clinics to detox from a
serial sudoku obsession. Ever since the phenomenon hit
our shores a couple of years ago, these apparently harmless numbered squares have turned scores of previously
intelligent and dynamic people into total morons. Unlike
crossword addicts, who have been known to interact socially
on occasion (even if it is limited to “river in southern Spain.
G-something-A-something-something-L, twelve letters. Any
ideas?”) sudoku addicts are not the most riveting company
when they’re engrossed in cracking the puzzle they found
in a paper stolen from the local bar. Crosswords, at the very
least, enhance our word-power, but sudokus teach us nothing whatsoever and are the biggest conversation-killer and
the worst form of procrastination since TV. And even TV
widens our horizons and gives us something to talk about.
Many valuable hours in which we could be doing something
productive, such as ironing, cleaning, sewing on buttons or
annoying the cats with a chewed-up stuffed mouse tied to a
bit of string, are lost in the relentless pursuit of beating our
record time on www.websudoku.com. (Mine is currently
4:23 minutes on the medium level, putting me in the top
eight per cent. I’m told that’s still pretty abysmal and there
is little point in presenting myself for next year’s World
Championships, the first of which took place last March).
When 18th-century poet Edward Young famously commented
“procrastination is the thief of time,” neither sudokus nor
Smack the Penguin had been invented. The latter is, if possible, even more mind-numbingly pointless and yet addictive
as these Japanese number grids. At the end of last year, the
hyperlink that was set to lose companies millions in manhours spread around the internet like a flu epidemic, and
conversation around the globe stopped once again as we
spent our days making a yeti wallop a penguin with a baseball bat and measuring how far he flew.
Before any animal rights activists among you start to
feverishly put pen to paper, take a look at http://n.ethz.

Incidentally, the highest score recorded to date is 324. Be

Letters
Dear ThinkSPAIN,
I am surprised again
and again when I speak
to other English people,
and they ask me, how I
learned Spanish. A lot of
them have been here for
many years, but they can
only just order a coffee in
a bar or thank the cashier
in the supermarket for the
change.
I think it is very important
to speak the language of
the country you live in. It
allows you to talk to the locals, make friends and integrate. At the same time,
you find out more about
the customs and how the
people think.
After all, I find it difficult
to believe that most Brits
only come here because of
the sun and the life style.
Spain is not a cheap country any longer.
On the other hand, looking at the British education system, I begin to understand that a lot of my
fellow countrymen find
it very difficult to learn
Spanish. At school I did not
learn much English grammar. When my teacher here
launched into the Spanish
tense system I was ready to
give up. I had heard about
present and past tense, but
my teacher insisted that
there are four past tenses,
and it took her weeks to
make me understand what
she was talking about.
In the beginning, I went to
the free Spanish lessons
offered by the local town
hall. After a year, however,
I had mastered the basic
conversational level of
the classes. In theory, and
probably for many people in practice, too, this is
enough to get by in Spain,
but I wanted more. It took
me another year in a language school until I was
comfortable enough to talk
to people in a bar.
I am very glad that I persisted in my efforts, but it
would have been much easier if I had learned more
about my own language at
school.
I am also very glad that
more and more local town
halls offer free classes for
us expats, and would like
to encourage everybody to
take advantage of them.

What are politicians afraid of ?
Parliamentary elections
are one of the most serious human games in existence. And they have to
be, given how hard their
contenders play: palaces,
trips, huge cars, succulent
salaries and cash to dole
out everywhere – gluttons, they are, these ladies
and gentlemen… to which
we should add that totally
human trait, which is
vanity. Underneath it all,
human desires are very
primitive, starting with
the most basic – food, sex
and vanity.
Tenser in the run-up to the
elections than if they were
in a war-zone, politicians
constantly have to think
on their feet. Everything
is calculated, every movement is scrutinised by a
thousand wise men. You
ask them a question and
they reply straight away,
with apparently infallible
formulas, purely based on
past experience and don’t
want to stray even a millimetre from the map they
always use.
If they could, politicians
would make sure nothing changed on the political game-table, that the
rules were always the
same. They long for some
sort of eternal comeback. Terrified because
the world never ceases
to change, they entrench
themselves in political
parties, join up with other
powers (economic, mediarelated, ecclesiastical…)

other, even on many occa-

sions giving the impression of being tempted to
join forces in the same
trench and take on the
world whilst putting on a
brave face.
As there is no God to rely
on and delegate responsibilities to, what they
refer to as ‘The People’
becomes sanctified. They
really ought to build
churches for ‘The People’,
where they can go and
worship them.
“The People have spoken!” exclaim politicians
as though they’d had a
visitation from the Holy
Spirit. “The People are
always right!” comes the
response. And then the
Oration to The People is
chanted: “Glory to God on
high and on earth; The
People to all men!”
In the meantime, as one
would expect, the various
elements that make up
The People either vote, or
otherwise abstain if they
decide to go to the beach
instead or believe that all
politicians are thieves or
just plain useless. If they
vote, they do so because
they like one bloke better
than the other – one’s a
nice guy and the other’s a
bit unfriendly – or because
he promised them something that suits them, or
because it’s a long-standing family tradition to
vote for one (your grandfather voted the party and
your father, too) and never
for the other – rather like
football – or for thousands
of other reasons, most of
which are like a form of
pilgrimage.
And, at the same time,
The Sacred People, as
one would also expect,

society – and not because
Marcuse announced it
and the Americans were
already living in one, and
they don’t want to hear
either politicians’ fairystories or political preachings which for many centuries were threatening
sermons given from the
pulpits.
And politicians who lose
the elections rush off to
see a psychiatrist and wail,
“The People don’t love
me!” crying like a grieving Mary Magdalene. The
psychiatrist calls in the
nurse and says, “get The
People to come in here,”
but the patient responds,
“they can’t, they’ve gone
away on holiday with ‘the
other man’.”
Next, the psychiatrist prescribes them some pills
to combat fear and the
morbid, manic tendency
to think, the source of so
much panic.

Kali Maa and the summer of my dreams
Do not be surprised if you
see some of your friends
turn into Kali Maa (the Indian goddess with multiple
arms) this summer. The explanation for such a surprising transformation is really very simple: our sons and
daughters are on holiday
while we have to carry on
working. What are we supposed to do when faced with
such a huge drama? This is
when we remember our mothers. Mine was, until very
recently, a businesswoman,
but back in the seventies,
when I was a little girl, we
used to live in a village where my friends’ mothers did
not work, so while my mother remained behind the
counter of her brand new
fashion boutique, I went
swimming in my friends’
swimming pool as the summer drifted by. My mother
used to collect me at lunchtime and at night, the whole
family would have dinner
outside the front door, opposite my grandfather’s
house. It became somewhat
of a tradition and around
thirty of us, including the
neighbours, would congregate from around 8pm,
forming a semi-circle with
their chairs that spilled out
into the road. While the ol-
der people would chat, we
would eat our sandwiches
and play until nightfall.
These days, none of this is
possible. It would now be extremely dangerous to sit out
on that street because there
is so much traffic, and the
mothers of my son’s friends
work like me so we are all
in the same boat. When
We are a pack
fighting to
survive the
new spirit of
capitalism
summer comes, at least for
those of us who have always
lived on this part of the Mediterranean coast, things
were definitely better in the
past.
Where small children are
concerned, I still believe
that three months spent
in a small village is a good
option, although there is
undoubtedly a better alternative: the more cosmopolitan summers of the Durrell
out around the house, and
who is in the same boat as
myself as she has a son of
the same age as mine. And
so, Angela, her son Jorge,
my son Néstor, and I, run
as a pack. A pack fighting to
survive the new spirit of capitalism, where everyone lives to work, and only a very
privileged few work to live.
If you don’t have a partner
like Angela, there are other
options: summer schools
organised by many Town
Halls in the area, or even
private courses, may be one
way of freeing us from this
madness. There are many
possibilities, but it is necessary to be clear about
a couple of things for the
good of the children: firstly,
the summer school should
be completely different to
normal school because they
also need a change, and secondly, a school is never a
garage and the educational
content of the course, the
standard of the teachers
and care assistants and pupil-teacher ratios should be
taken into account when it
comes to choosing which
one. The information is like
a jungle, time is running
short, but your views are
important and valuable.
Chin up, Kali Maa.

Let me work it out
The latest statistics suggest 55% of women with
children under five now
work outside the home,
compared with 25% in
1975. Yesterday’s report
from the UK Equalities
Review highlights that the
number of women in employment has not solved
all the problems. Instead,
it has created a new type of
inequality – a workforce in
which mothers often find
themselves at, or close to,
the bottom in every type
of workplace.
Opting out of the workstruggle is one option
many hard-pressed women would choose, but only
those with partners earning enough money to keep
the whole family. More
common is the woman
who opts for a job that is
well below that which she
is qualified to do – 50% of
employees in part-time
work are working below
their skill levels. Jeanette
Winterson in 2002 said “I
don’t blame men. Private
arrangements
between
individuals are fine – what
is not fine is a culture that
still favours men as the gogetters, with every right to
pleasure and relaxation,
family, so amusingly related
in Gerald’s account of his
childhood experiences in
‘My family and other animals’. Can you imagine a
more seductive option than
escaping with the family
for three months to a Greek
island, where the children
could capture insects in the
olive groves and fill their
curious eyes with the blue
of the Mediterranean? It is
a remote possibility, but I
shall keep trying although I
have yet to succeed, and remain optimistic. If we were
able to change women’s lives in the 20th century, in
the 21st we should strive to
make being good mothers
and fathers a real possibility. ‘We’ll keep the red flag
flying’, as the song goes, but
the day will come when working from home and other
social innovations will enable us to reconcile the needs
of our children and our responsibilities as adults in a
more sensitive way. Because
the allusion to Kali Maa is
all very well as a metaphor,
and the Durrell family experience is a fine dream, but,
what are we supposed to do
in the meantime? Well, there are a number of different
possibilities. I employ a
woman, Angela, who helps
while women must be prepared for a life of drudgery.” Sorry, Jeanette – very
little has changed in five
years.
Of course, many employers perceive mothers juggling their responsibilities
as workers not fully committed to their job. Dashing off to ring childminders is not seen as dynamic
as the single guy who can
make meetings at any
time day or night, in the
office or the pub. However,
the reality is that working mothers often have a
tenacity (perhaps bordering on desperation), but
which can serve them well
in many work forces.
So what about life here in
family-centred Spain? Do
women get a fair crack of
the whip? Certainly many
more Spanish women
are working outside of
the home, but also a generation of grandparents
are working as unofficial
childminders and home
helps. There is still dire
provision for nurseries,
especially in rural parts
of Spain, and most of the
ex-pat mothers that I know
are appalled at the options
available to them if they
try to commit to a full-time
job. Childcare benefit is
only available to those on
the lowest of low incomes
and then it amounts to
around 20 euros a month
per child, much less than
our UK counterparts receive.
But it’s not just about
more businesses looking
into workplace crechés,
family-friendly
work
hours, and flexible homeworking; until parents
of both sexes commit to
housework, childcare and
summer activities for children there can never be a
level playing field. Work
is equally as important to
women as men – and as
a previous stay-at-home
mum, I can confirm that
the sense of achievement
from my work is just as
important as giving quality time to my kids. The
balance is never easy, but
children look to their parents example to craft their
understanding of a working life. If both parents
show equal commitment
to home, work and lifelong
education, then the future
bosses and employees that
we are raising will really
change the world.

Spanish hours suit me

bar. It was past 9 o’clock
and being English, and
mums of small children,
they had long since eaten
dinner. My family, adapted
to Spanish timetables, had
not yet been fed so I left
them to their Dad and instead of nourishing stew I
made do with a packet of
crisps. Undoubtedly the
reason why by 11pm I was
flaking and my friends still
ready for another round.
Unfortunately, it is not
only meal times that are
affected by the differences
between Spanish and British hours. With dinner
moving from early evening
to any time between 9 and
10.30 everything else gets
shuffled later. In Parcent,
Town Hall meetings and
many social events do not
start till after ‘cena’, 9.30 if
we are lucky, normally 10
before the chatting stops
and we get down to business. Many of the British
residents joining us find
these hours prohibitive,
they have little desire to go
out at 10 o’clock and even
less to continue debating
past midnight. Sadly this
clashing of times stops
many people joining in
socially and integrating
with their Spanish neighbours. Parents are also
affected, as school parent
meetings begin at 10pm,
and British children compare their bedtimes unfavourably with their local
friends who do well to be
asleep by 11.
The nocturnal lifestyle
becomes even more exaggerated when you have
teenagers. Their evenings
start when we are ready
for bed, the popular bars
opening around midnight.
The fiesta bands don’t
even warm up before 1
o’clock with the fun time
for youngsters beginning
when the bands crank
up the volume at around
3am. With three daughters straggling early and
late teens, we have spent
the last 6 years setting
the alarm and getting up
in the early hours of Sunday morning to fetch them
home, the price we pay for
keeping them safely off
the back of boy’s motorbikes.
What remains surprising
is how we and the rest of
Spain do manage to cope
with an almost permanent shortage of sleep, the
traditional siesta being
relegated to hot summer
days in a world forever
short of time. Perhaps it
explains the Spanish dependence on regular hits
of strong coffee, a habit I
now share.

Discover hidden Alicante
Alicante belies its widelyheld image as a dull city and
offers visitors great variety,
much of which is hidden
away in the charming back
streets of its old quarter.
By Alastair Morgan
Arriving in the centre by
tram from the north you
alight next to El Postiguet
beach at Puerta del Mar.
What a great way to enter
a city! Where next? Explore
the beach, sample a cool
drink on the Blue Room’s
shady terrace, stroll around
the bars and restaurants
by the marina or visit the
paseo under the palms of
the Explanada de España?
All these are a few metres
away. A five minute gentle
stroll behind the Explanada
and the town hall takes you
to the heart of the old quarter – a real gem packed with
quirky bars, restaurants,
clubs and shops as well as
many fine buildings.
Where to start?
I based myself at the Hostal
Les Monges (Nuns) Palace
next to the impressive Convento Monjas de la Sangre
in the old quarter and gave
myself two days to explore.
The hostal’s website describes it as “coquettish”
and “charming” and it certainly was charming. It was
a lot more besides – friendly,
clean, elegantly restored,
well equipped, great value
and in just the right place.
Jim from British Columbia
has stayed there many times
and “just loves it. It’s a great
little place to stay”.
Graham from Scotland offered to show me his version of hidden Alicante. He
is a true knight of the road
resplendent in his wellworn Hunting Stewart kilt.
Though tempted, I politely
declined his offer being not
sure if I would find my way
back. Zenta from Cardiff
was doing a “reccie” for a
week with a view to return-
ing with her husband for
a holiday. She had chosen
Alicante over Paris and
Riga as she wanted to know
more about the city and this
trip offered the best value.
Her first impressions were
very favourable, and she
also gave me a tip – go to the
restaurant at the top of the
Tryp Gran Sol Hotel for the
view, but I thought the view
from Santa Bárbara castle
would be at least as good. I
opted instead for the more
conventional choice and
went on a guided walking
tour of the old town. I met
Marta, the guide at the tourist office, and we set off by
taxi to Santa Bárbara. The
lift to Santa Bárbara from El
Postiguet beach is closed for
repairs or replacement as
it has been going for more
than 40 years, but you can
drive up and there is free
parking. Entrance to the
castle is also free. At 166 metres the view from the top is
spectacular, with 60 kilometres of Alicante bay, the city
below and the mountains
inland. It was downhill from
then on through the park to
barrio Santa Cruz ending
up in la Taberna Ibérica in
Pedro Sebastià for a tasting of Alicante wines and
optional lunch. We were offered Terra del Maña – an
ecological red, which was
robust and smooth, just the
thing after our walk. Maria
José is very proud of her
restaurant and showed me
round. Her husband Simon
comes from Extremadura
and all the produce for the
restaurant comes from his
family there. My guide Marta came from San Sebastián
to study tourism in Alicante
and never went back. She
speaks excellent English
and is a very charming and
TOWN HALL: Dates from the 17th century
knowledgable companion.
The tours are thoroughly
recommended as an introduction to old Alicante, but
wear a hat and take some
water.
Where else?
There’s lots more to explore
by walking around. A fine
range of buildings in many
styles, lots of pedestrian
streets and shady gardens to
rest your feet. In the art nouveau-style central market,
311 innocent victims were
killed in a nationalist bombing raid during the civil war
on May 25 1938. The building
was subsequently restored.
La Plaza de Flores behind
the market is very colourful. The 16th century, gothic
Santa Maria church was the
centre of the Moorish city
and built on the old mosque.
The plaza outside was the
original souk and there was
a gate nearby leading to the
Christian city. The cathedral
of San Nicolás was granted
its status by the pope in 1959.
The neo-classical principal
theatre is a bit of a surprise
– the musical Fame is on at
the moment.
Another unexpected novelty
is the outdoor aquarium in
Plaza Nueva – a very pleasant place to sit in the shade.
We were entertained by
Dimitri from Russia on the
cello. Dimitri has been in
Alicante for 18 months – he
and three friends make up
the “orquestral pastoral”
who play a variety of classical and film music for all
types of celebrations.
The town hall, built in the
French style, dates from
the 17th century and is a
“charming and most tasteful edifice” (from “A Romantic in Spain” by Theophile
Gautier.) It is worth popping
inside to see the Dalí statue
and the “zero point” or sea
level reference point for all
height measurements in
Spain. Behind the town hall
is La Plaza Santísima Faz a
wonderful space to sit, eat
or drink and just a stone’s
throw from my hostal. But
be warned, it can get expensive if you stray from the
menú del día.
Museums
Alicante has several fine
museums. Perhaps the best
known is MARQ (Museo Arqueológico Provincial de Alicante) which was voted European museum of the year
in 2004 and it is far from the
common conception of such
a place – even the children
will like it. You will find it
just north of Santa Bárbara
in the old San Juan hospital. It has its own tram stop.
Other museums worth a visit include the Nativity Scene
(Belenes), “las Hogueras”
in la Casa de la Festa on the
corner of Rambla de Méndez Núñez and Teniente
Álvarez Soto, and the bullfighting museum next to the
bullring in the north of the
city. La Asegurada on Villavieja by Santa Maria which
houses an important collection of modern art including Dalí, Picasso and Miró
is unfortunately closed until
next year for restoration.
OLD QUARTER: Hostal Les Monges Palace - clean, friendly and elgantly-restored
Eating and drinking
Early on in my visit, I stumbled across la Tetería Waslala in Calle Argensola. This
tearoom is the ideal place
to rest your legs. I received
a complimentary glass of
sueño de navidad or Dream
of Christmas – green tea, almond, orange, saffron flower and aroma – very refreshing. They offer more than
60 speciality teas, several
tisanes and about 20 herbal
infusions as well as a few
organic pastries, cocktails
and spirits. A strange mixture but it works. I briefly
considered the “afrodisíaco” tea – champagne, strawberry and natural aroma
– but settled for a large gin
and tonic instead.
In La Casona Alicante in
Calle Mayor just along from
Santísima Faz, I had bread,
Manchego cheese, grilled
pescadilla with rosti and an
excellent bottle of Alicante
red. It was all very good but
at 40 euros a bit overpriced.
I met Patricia from Gran
Alacant who was celebrating her birthday with her
husband William and some
friends over from England.
Patricia and William often
visit Alicante and like it as
it is “quiet” and “cosmopolitan but not touristy.” They
feel safe in the city and notice that “there are no lager
louts”. Their friend Roger
was surprised by how good
the old town area is – Alicante is “much more than
an airport!” He would certainly come again.
Much better value was the
Café Mediterráneo in Rafael
Altamira just along from
the town hall where I had
mushrooms, callos (tripe)
in a delicious spicy tomato
sauce, a dish of complimentary olives and the best part
of a bottle of house red for
10 euros and it was very
good.
Recommended
breakfast
stops are Casa Ibarra on the
corner of Santísima Faz and
Mayor and Café Ramblas at
Rambla de Méndez Núñez.
Coffee, orange juice and a
piece of toast with tomato
was 3 euros each.
For serious chilling out,
have a couple of cold drinks
on the terrace of the Blue
Room (part of the Hotel
Melià) between the marina
and the beach. Choose to
go in the afternoon when
the terrace is in the shade.
There is a great view of the
beach and Santa Bárbara
and it is surprisingly cheap
at two euros for a generous
white wine.
Fiestas
Alicante celebrates the arrival of summer with Las
Hogueras (fires) de San
Juan similar to the Fallas
N
in Valencia and celebrated
throughout the region. Festivities officially start on
June 20 and include building
the bonfires, street parades,
folk dancing, and mascletà
displays, culminating in the
cremà or burning at midnight on June 24. As if that
were not enough, there is a
fireworks competition on El
Postiguet beach from June
25 to 29.
“The characteristic thing
about Alicante is an enormous rock rising in the middle of the town, a rock magnificent in shape and magnificent in outline, crowned
with a sentry box hanging
boldly over the abyss.” (Gautier). Who of us could disagree at first sight?
But there is a lot more to
Alicante, some of it well
hidden away. It is a compact
city you can get to know at a
leisurely pace and still find
something new.
At a glance
Getting there
The people and city authorities are justly proud of their
tram system. I parked free in San Juan in a street near the
beach and joined the tram at the Carabiners stop right by
the beach. It took 25 mins to the beach at Puerta del Mar
changing at La Isleta. It takes just 14 mins to MARQ and
two more to the mercado central on the new extension.
From Carabiners it cost one euro single and 1,70 return.
Connections go as far as Dénia, Calpe, Altea and Benidorm
and all stops between. The trams are impressive – cheap,
quick, clean, quiet, easy to navigate and clear announcements in Spanish and English with a bonus of piped classical music. A really civilised way to get around.

Wi-Fi door needs locking
You wouldn’t allow total
strangers to stroll into your
house uninvited – yet you are
probably letting them have a
nose around your computer
without realising it…
By Samantha Kett
If somebody were siphoning petrol from your car,
tapping into your electricity supply or leaking hot
water from your boiler, you
would probably be just the
tiniest bit miffed.
Yet if you have a wireless
internet connection, this
could be exactly what is
happening.
It is very easy for an outsider to connect to your supply
without a cable, and use
the web without paying a
centimo.
Well, why not? You may say.
What is wrong with allowing someone else to hook
up to the Net for free? The
money they save on connection fees they will spend
in a shop somewhere, and
the tax on their purchases
will go back into the government’s pockets and help
fund the health service and
better public transport.
Isn’t that charitable of you.
You may have a point, and
you may even have linked
up to someone else’s internet supply and thought
nothing of it – but did
you realise that this person might be able to take a
tour round your computer
at leisure, and gain access
to information you would
rather not everybody was
aware of ? Your credit card
details, for instance?
What is Wi-Fi?
In small villages and large
urbanisations, particularly
new ones, in this part of
Spain, landline telephone
connection can take a while
to obtain. This does not
N
mean you cannot use the
internet at home – Wi-Fi, or
a wireless network, allows
computers to connect up
to each other without the
need for cables.
They operate using the
same kind of radio technology as cordless phones and
mean you can easily link
up to a company network,
access your emails and any
other websites.
Even in homes where there
is an established telephone
connection, wireless connections are highly popular as they allow you to
access the internet from
any number of computers,
including laptops, in your
home.
They also mean that, if you
park your car in the right
place, you can use your laptop almost anywhere that
is near a building where
a wireless connection is
installed.
Perhaps you have tapped
into someone else’s broadband connection, or don’t
really mind if somebody is
doing the same with yours.
However, this person can
hack into your network
if they are within close
enough proximity.
Hackers can seek out insecure networks – those with
insufficient, or worse, no
anti-hacking software –
using tools that are readily
available.
It takes an average of just
two-and-a-half hours to
hack into a computer system via a wireless network,
says London-based security
company, RSA.
Hackers’ antics range from
the annoying and mischievous, such as wiping your
entire email box or tam-
Stop Press!
Warnings of a dangerous virus circulating the internet, which particularly affects holders of Yahoo, AOL
and Hotmail accounts, have come to light in recent
weeks.
The virus comes in the form of a Power Point document
(with the suffix .pps) entitled Life is beautiful.
If you open the email, a message on your screen states,
“It is too late now, your life is no longer beautiful.”
In the meantime, all data stored on your computer and
your email box will be irretrievably wiped out, and
the hacker behind the virus will be able to access your
name, email address and password, say sources from
the UK government’s occupational health and safety
department.
AOL confirms that no anti-virus software currently in
existence is capable of blocking the offending message.
They recommend that you delete the email immediately
and do not open it.
AN OPEN DOOR: Can hackers look inside your wireless network, or are you fully protected?
pering with documents
stored on your computer
– like the Open University
PhD student whose thesis
was peppered with swearwords thanks to the devilish humour of a Latin
American teenager who
found a back door into his
PC – to the downright dangerous. If you bank online
or make purchases via the
web, your account or debit
card details could fall into
the wrong hands.
Should we ditch wireless
altogether, then?
Security experts do not
wish to alarm those connected to wireless networks
– these serve their purpose
and can be made safe with a
little forward planning.
Yet RSA, patrolling central
London with a hand-held
scanner, found that a staggering 25 per cent of networks were unprotected.
The main faults they found
were systems where the
built-in encryption was
not used, but where the
default configuration for
equipment was, and network names employed that
identified the organisation
which owned the computer
in question.
Businesses all over the City
were being hacked constantly – and if you do not
have the necessary cushion for your own system,
your computer is a back
door flung wide open to
the world’s hackers, not to
mention people freeloading
off your pricey connection.
What can I do to secure
my system?
You may find that your net
provider will send a representative round to your
home or business to secure
the system for you. Certain
precautions such as not
making the network name
known and changing the
default name for something
bizarre and not easilylinked to you or your company, are common sense,
and if possible, try not to
use the wireless network
outside standard office
hours.
Experts recommend using
the built-in encryption, and
MAC filtering to set access
points up so they limit
access to MAC addresses of
computer-users you trust.
A MAC address is unique to
each network card.
Microsoft
recommends
ensuring your other security measures, like passwords
and user-names, are in
place to give you a stronger
defence against would-be
hackers, and to use only
access points as opposed to
file-sharing networks.
What about file-sharing
programmes?
Also known as peer-to-peer
networks, these basically
allow you to download
information from other
people’s computers. They
are mostly fully legal, but
should be used with caution.
An example of a peer-topeer network is Limewire,
a programme that allows
you to download music and
videos online from other
users’ computers.
The drawback with such
networks is that they allow
those with sufficiently
expert knowledge to enter
your computer and have a
good nose around at what
is on it.
To protect yourself, do not
leave any other programmes
open on your screen whilst
you are using a file-sharing
network. For example, shut
down your email box, your
eBay account, your online
banking site and so forth
before linking to a peer-topeer system.
Finally, it goes without
saying that any computer which will be used for
connecting to the internet
should have an up-to-date
anti-virus firewall programme on it.
N
Sadly, hacking methods are
becoming more sophisticated by the day and will
constantly be ahead of the
technology produced to
keep them out. You should
continue to review your
security measures as often
as possible and update them
where necessary.
Experts also recommend
periodically
reloading
your Windows programme,
which will clear any viruses attached to it. This will,
of course, wipe everything
stored on your computer, so
back up important files on
disk before doing so.
Caught In The Web
The average European spends a full day a month on the
internet, says recent research.
According to the BBC, net-tracking firm comScore
discovered that the over-15s are connected for 24 hours
every month over a period of 16.5 days, and view some
2,662 web pages each.
Around 40 per cent of people use the internet across
Europe (including Russia in the study), although the
Dutch are the most square-eyed with 83 per cent of its
population being online and Spain the third-least technologically-savvy (after Russia and Italy) with only 39
per cent of us being regular web users.
Brits spend the most time connected, at 34.4 hours a
month with more than a third of the UK population
on line all at once at any time of the day, although
Germany has the largest number of web users – 32.5
million of the adult population.
The BBC reveals that comScore has discovered a direct
link between broadband connection and the popularity of the web – those who have ADSL at home are
more likely to spend longer online due to the speed of
connecting and downloading. This means net usage
is higher where broadband is more readily available,
such as in the UK, Holland and Scandinavia but lower
in Spain and Italy where this technology remains in
its infancy.
The most popular websites across the continent are
Google, Microsoft and Yahoo, in that order.

Success for the Basques
Two months before the elections the party appeared
with full force on the political scene. Two weeks before
the election, it nearly had to
abandon the political scene.
At the elections on May 27 it
had an historical success
By Cornelia Muller
The party ANV was formed
in 1930. It was a leftist
movement that based its
party programme on democratic principles, the right
of the Basque autonomy,
and Basque unity. With
these fundamental ideas it
stood in the Basque tradition for self-determination
and the unity of the five
Basque provinces, three in
the North of Spain and two
in the South of France.
Prohibited under Franco,
it reappeared on the political arena after his death,
but never had much political weight.
In 2001 it distanced itself
from Batasuna, which was
a radical party close to the
terrorist group ETA, and
made illegal in 2003.
During the election campaign in May this year
it became a platform for
strong nationalists in the
Basque country. Opponents
of the party suggested it
could also be a platform
for Batasuna or even the
Basque terrorist organisation ETA.
In their attempt to defend
democracy and to stop the
introduction of terrorist
elements in a democratic
parliament the Constitutional Court took drastic
action.
A month before the elections the associations of
terror victims Dignidad y
Justicia officially demanded the suspension of the
party, fearing that many
candidates may be related
to the terror organisation
ETA or the prohibited
party Batasuna and try to
make a legal entry into a
democratic parliament.
Baltasar
Garzón,
the
judge of the Audiencia
Nacional, the Spanish
National Court, and a
strong defender of democratic principles, was put
in charge of the investigation to analyse if the party
was formed by ETA or led
by ETA before the year
2001, if it were an instrument of ETA now, and if
there were links between
the terrorist activists and
the party.
On April 28 Garzón presented a 21-page-long report
and rejected the demand
of the victims’ association.
However, he also pointed
out that the law for political
parties was not applied and
that his report was only a
response to the demand of
the victims’ association.
Garzón wrote that ANV
was not under the discipline of ETA after the
year 2001, although there
might be some coincidental common objectives.
There was no evidence
that it had developed any
terrorist activities related
to ETA. There were not
any members of ANV that
are members of Batasuna.
The executive committee of ANV did not have
any links to the terrorist
organisation ETA either.
Garzón pointed out that
there may be some proximity or a possible participation of Batasuna in the
party, and that some of the
candidates in the electoral
lists may be influenced by
Batasuna.
A week later, on May 3, the
Supreme Court illegalised
122 of the 253 candidate
lists, because they were
considered elements influenced or led by Batasuna.
The state prosecutor Cándido Conde-Pumpido prohibited 110 of the 253 lists
that had at least three such
candidates. According to
him there was clear proof
that they were either managed or manipulated by
Batasuna.
ANV, The
Acción
Nacionalista
Basca, EAE,
Eusko Abertzale
Ekintza in
Basque, could
participate in
the elections
thanks to
Baltasar Garzón.
The Abogacía del Estado,
the State Legal Service,
challenged 122 lists, 60 per
cent of which are in the
province of Vizcaya, 56 per
cent in the province of Álava, 55 per cent in Guipúzcoa and 34 per cent in Navarra. In total 133 candidates were illegalised.
Two days later the party
ANV filed an appeal in the
Supreme Court against
the decision of the State
Prosecutor, which was
FIGHTING FOR SELF-DETERMINATION: Antxon Gómez and Kepa Bereziartua
rejected the following day.
The report of the Supreme
Court stated that candidates of ANV most likely
do not have a close link
to Batasuna. It did not
exclude, however, that
individual members could
share some of Batasuna’s
ideology and have a ‘subjective connection’ as it
called it.
In its summary the court
added that it based its decision on the sentence from
2003, which prohibited
Batasuna as a legal party.
On May 8, ANV appealed
to the Constitutional Court
against the decision to suspend the Supreme Court’s
verdict. Three days later
on May 11 it reaffirmed
that verdict. It said that
Batasuna tried to participate in the elections under
the cover of a legal party.
Allegedly, there were fraud
elements in ANV, but they
have not reached the point
where fraud and conspiracy have affected the party
leaders. The dissolving of
the party was deemed exaggerated and out of proportion. They added that the
‘radical solution’ was considered impractical, only
‘contaminated’ candidates
had to be taken out.
The following Saturday,
May 12, thousands of
people went out into the
streets in Bilbao to demonstrate in favour of ANV.
It was a peaceful demonstration without any violence. Some Batasuna followers used the opportunity to show their protest
against the decision of the
Constitutional Court and
to demand truly demo-
cratic elections. Joseba
Permanch, one of the leading figures of Batasuna,
described the decision as
electoral rigging.
A similar demonstration
took place on May, 17 in
Pamplona, the capital of
Navarra. The main message of the 3,000 participants was that the political parties were afraid of a
real change of the government. They accused them
of cowardly behaviour: “if
they were ready to confront
a political change, they
would not have prohibited our candidate lists.”
The spokesperson of ANV
encouraged the voters to
cast their vote in the party’s
favour, because this would
be the only way to ‘peace
and a political solution’.
Other angry voices asked
why the participation of
the PSOE in the corruption scandals in Marbella
or the Spanish involvement in the bloodbath in
Iraq are not investigated.
The leader of Batasuna,
Fernando Barrera encouraged the people to cast
their vote in favour of ANV
now that most other leftwing parties were made
illegal. He accused other
parties of not respecting
democratic principles and
not acting in the will of the
Basque people.
This provoked an instant
comment by the Supreme
Court. A spokesman said
that this may be the first
step to illegalise the party.
Batasuna can appeal to the
public to vote for ANV at
the elections, but as soon as
they bring in their own representatives, the party will
have to face procedures to
be made illegal. The state
prosecution said they will
keep a close eye on ANV
and its members, although
they have decided not to
take immediate action to
prohibit the party.
With the unexpected good
results of the elections
ANV is in many municipalities the second or
third political power. They
gained 94,718 votes and
although half of the lists
had been prohibited the
people cast another 97,058
votes for them, which were
considered null and void.
This would have brought
the total count of the votes
to 191,776, which is one of
the best results in their
history. They are represented in 31 town halls, in
17 they have the absolute
majority. In total 437 councillors will now decide
on the future of their villages, and the parliaments
of Álava and Vizcaya will
have members of the ANV.
There will not be any in
Guipúzcoa, because the
list was illegalised before
N
the elections. If all the candidates could have stood
at the elections, another
282 councillors and 19 MPs
would have started their
political career in the local
and regional governments.
The secretary of the ANV,
Antxón Gómez, appealed
to the authorities to
respect the decision of the
voters and admit all those
councillors who were on
prohibited lists.
The Partido Popular and
the Association of the
Victims demanded a total
ban of the ANV party,
whereas the government
and the Constitutional
Court did not see sufficient evidence to grant
the demand. If the spokesperson of ANV is to be
believed, this could be the
first step to a political solution of the Basque problem and maybe even the
end of all those unnecessary bombs and killings.
ETA’s unfortunate declaration to end the ceasefire
last Tuesday may well be
a major drawback for any
political negotiations.

The prostitution game
This trade is not merely all
swings and roundabouts
Paloma Casco
We all take things for granted sometimes. Some of us
come from more wealthier
environments, with better options to provide for
our futures. Have you ever
stopped for a moment and
pondered at the prospect of
having to sell your body for
sex in order to buy food and
pay your rent? Some men
say, “No, that’s clever, she
just makes as much money
as she can to buy herself a
house in her country.” She
may very well be able to
buy herself a home in her
place of origin or anywhere
else in the world for that
matter. But why on earth
should she have to sell her
body to buy anything in
the first instance? In most
cases, men control these
girls and in turn make a
tidy profit from their torment. Some girls work the
streets alone, some work
in unison, for protection
and comfort and support;
someone to talk to whilst
waiting for the next client
to arrive. Hours tick slowly,
people pass and sneer, making derogatory comments,
not knowing what brought
her here and how her situation arose. Was she abused
and forced in to this life? Or
does she sell her soul and
body for pleasure? The latter, I think not. Perhaps it
is a game she was taught
from very young, a method
of survival, believing that
this is the only means available to make a living. With
poverty, exploitation follows
and is considered a mechanism for survival. We are
all taught and educated to
N
understand how to live and
survive. If these girls are
not educated, how on earth
can they possibly know
what options they have in
order to make a stand in
life? After all, knowledge
is power. If you are told
you are stupid on repeated
occasions, you may very
well believe it to be true
and the same principle lies
within this subject matter.
Now, try to put yourself
in her shoes. Could you? I
dare say she suffers serious
damage to her self-esteem
to a depth of unfathomable denial. They say what
goes around comes around.
So when and how do these
underdogs win their day?
How can they gain their
rightful
independence?
This is very much a man’s
world, with men being at
the forefront of nearly every given business. Women
are on the rise, challenging
themselves and society’s
rules by the same token.
Women have fought tooth
and nail for equal measures
to be taken, for example for
the right to vote. Men have
made the rules by which we
all live. Please do not misunderstand me, I am not
a man-hater, I merely wish
to highlight a valid point.
Women are the givers of
life. Women are the nurturers and natural creators of
our species. Women ought
to receive fair and equal
choices in the same way
men do and always have. I
have conversed with several men who have paid for
sex with prostitutes and the
answer is always the same.
“Prostitution is the oldest
profession in the world.”
So is fishing. “Ah, but that
INDEPENDENCE: Fighting for their rights to choose
all depends on what you
are fishing for?” Food, I
replied. A constant source
of life. “Yes, but so is sex.”
I agree. Sex is natural and
thoroughly enjoyable, although depending on who
one is having sex with. We
all do it and we all need it,
as sex is a natural chemical
urge, not purely for procreation, but also a social activity too. So where is it possible to find common ground?
What institutions are there
to help women should they
be obliged by something
or someone to prostitute
themselves? What form of
public education is there?
Not solely for the ignorant
masses who have no idea
what these women endure,
but additionally, the prostitutes themselves, as they
have absolutely no idea
what options there are at
their disposal, if there are
any. Most of the time this
boils down to legal documentation. Most of the
girls brought here are illegal immigrants searching for work. Our system
does not make this any
easier for them to make
ends meet, most of them
have to send money home
to support their families,
hence they are exploited
beyond human recognition. It is a desperate situation and one that must
not be ignored. Capitalising on the vulnerability
of an innocent young girl,
I call the police. I take down
the car registration number
if can using my mobile
phone. But sometimes, that
can be difficult.
Q15. Have you been asked
to do things you do not
like?
A. Yes, and this can be a
problem.
Q12. Can you give me an
example where you have
experienced any grief
from a customer?
A. Sometimes, after a man
has paid me, he wants
more,
something
else.
Once, one would not let me
go, he grabbed me, I tried to
open the door, I scratched
his face and I ran and hid
behind a cabin.
Q16. Do you have regular
customers?
A. Yes.
I must pay for
my daughter’s
medical bills
in turn, directing them towards an abnormal state
of mind and being. Do you
honestly believe that after
a life of prostitution, they
could comprehend a normal life? The prostitutes
are extremely young, some
even appear too young to be
having sex, henceforth this
appears to be a system they
are taught; too frightened
to speak up and destined to
live in a state of acquiesce.
Perchance, should there
be an association put in to
practice whereby prostitutes may be able to seek
advice, shelter and protection, this can only aid them
to make a difference in
their lives. Given a choice,
I am sure they would take
up the offer of help. However, if there are those who
choose to lead a life of prostitution, then so be it. In
some countries, prostitution is monitored via legal
and fair means and most
definitely, off the streets
where the women are safer
and must be over the age of
sexual consent. There are
brothels in abundance on
our doorsteps, but I wonder
how are they managed? Do
the prostitutes receive fair
and legal rights? Do they
have any rights at all and if
so what are they? The answer to the aforementioned
above is, a great big fat
zero. This ‘put up and shut
up’ society we live in will
eventually crash and burn.
If we continue to allow this
to happen, what will the
future hold? Remember,
for every action there is
a reaction. Next time you
drive home from work, or
go about your general business and you see the prostitute on the street, take a
moment to think about her
situation and remember
how lucky you truly are.

ASKtheexpert...
Manuel Martín legal expert
Q
What are my options
if the buyers of my
property, who have been
living in it for two years
after paying only 25 per
cent of the purchase
price, refuse to pay the
balance?
Two years ago, I agreed
to sell my property to
an English couple who
had lived in Spain for
a number of years and
owned a number of businesses.
At the time I accepted
a 25 per cent deposit on
the house as security and
signed a contract drawn
up by their gestor.
Somehow I was talked
into handing over the
keys after I had been
paid the deposit and gave
them in good faith with
the belief that the buyers were only going in to
measure up for renovations/decorations.
It has been nearly two
years since this deal and
I have had no further
monies from the buyers.
However, in this time
they have rented the
property to a number of
people and they have just
moved into the house
themselves recently.
Having heard that the
couple involved had
made a number of bad
business
investments
I proposed selling the
property to someone
else and refunding their
deposit. I was told that
they wanted twice what
they paid me as a deposit
back if I wanted to sell
to someone else as they
had spent a great deal
of money on renovations. They have refused
to let me see the house
but I have been told by
a friend who has seen
it, and neighbours, that
no such renovations have
occurred and if anything
there is substantial damage to the property.
As I still have the house
in my name, how do the
original buyers stand
legally and what actions
will I need to take to
remove them from my
property if no amicable agreement can be
reached?
PS. The contract drawn
up by the gestor does
not mention a completion date or any penalties from pulling out of
the sale.
A
Certainly your situation is unpleasant, but
it does have redress.
What strikes me the most,
however, is that no completion date was fixed in the
contract, although if we
think that the gestor was
representing the buyers, it
may have been part of a preconceived plan to attempt
to cunningly access ownership of a property without
paying the full purchase
price. If they thought they
could achieve this, I can
only describe it as wishful
thinking.
In my opinion, the best way
forward, the buyers having
lived in the property for
almost two years, is to send
them a notarised notice/
letter giving them a period
of time to complete the
purchase and pay the balance. This should inform
them that not paying up the
balance would amount to a
contractual rescission with
loss of 25 per cent paid up
to date. A month is a reasonable period.
I would add in the letter
that the purchase price is
to be increased in accordance with the rental payments which you are enti-

rental agreement, as they
are enjoying the property
whilst you do not have possession of it, and you are
losing the interests of the
capital you should have
already received. This
should put you in a stronger negotiation position.
The worst case scenario is
that you end up in court,
with the judge fixing a
date for the buyers to pay
the balance and deciding
on whether a verbal rental
agreement was reached or,
on the contrary, they were
given unconditional access
to the property, until they
completed the purchase.
The fact that the contract
does not specifically mention penalties does not
mean that you do not have
the right to them, as it
would be down to the judge
to decide what is reasonable in view of the circumstances.
You should seek legal
advice and take action as
soon as possible.

Q
I reach my 60th
birthday in three
months’ time. I have all
sorts of bits and pieces of pension arrangements and have received
information from some
about the benefits I can
expect and nothing from
the others.
The paperwork all looks
very complicated and I
wondering if there’s
anything I can do to prevent my receiving small
pensions from various
sources?
A
All of these pension
arrangements
will
have what is known as the
‘open market option’. This
means that you’re able to
seek out the insurance
company that is offering
the best deal by way of the
amount of annuity that
they will give you for the
available overall funds.
This will enable you to
receive all of your income
from one source.
The annuity tables on the
FSA website are a good
starting point in terms
of establishing which
life office is likely to offer
you the best annuity rate.
However you should take
account of the fact that
the process of transferring
your arrangements across
can be quite a lengthy process. Your benefit will not
start until all of the trans-
fers have taken place, and
thus the eventual outcome
will in effect operate at the
speed of the slowest provider.
Although it is possible to
arrange matters so that
each of your existing
arrangements pays out
any tax-free lump sum,
and then transfers the balance in order to secure
your annuity, it is better
to be willing to wait a little
longer so that the entire
purchase price goes to the
company that is going to
be providing the annuity
with their providing the
tax-free lump sum as well.
This is because, otherwise,
you may well end up with a
number of separate annuities being set up for you,
based upon the timing of
the receipts by the company that is going to pay your
annuity.
One final point you should
take account of. If any of
your existing arrangements were set up originally before about 1988 you
should check the policy
documentation carefully, if
you still have it.
What you are looking for is
whether or not the policy
contains any guaranteed
annuity rates. If you are
not sure then you should
ask the provider in question and not rely upon
them telling you. In nearly
every case, the guaranteed
rate will be better than the
rates currently available,
and in this instance you
should take your annuity
from the provider that you
saved with.
In this case, the best deal
is nearly always not to take
any tax-free lump sum, but
to use the entire fund to
buy an annuity using the
guaranteed rates.
Sometimes a guaranteed
annuity rate restricts you
to only being able to take
your pension annually in
arrears.
Yet, in other instances, it is
possible to have the annuity set up on a different
basis but using a rate that
is consistent with the guaranteed rate contained in
the policy.
Whichever way the annuity is arranged, I’m afraid
the paperwork will be an
absolute nightmare. If only
for this reason, it is worth
seeking professional help.

Home-owners may
face massive fines
Unregistered rentals are in
danger of attracting huge
fines of up to 30.000 euros
By Samantha Kett
Second-home owners are
warned to be on their guard
as tourism and tax authorities in Spain are clamping
down on unregistered lets.
Those who advertise their
properties on the web for
holiday lets face fines of up
to 30,000 euros if caught.
Legally, these apartments
and villas should be registered with the tourism
authorities, but conditions
are extremely stringent.
In practice, hardly any
privately-owned properties
are licensed for holiday
rentals.
In addition to fines for
illegal holiday letting, owners of these properties
could face the wrath of both
the Spanish tax authorities
and, if they are expatriates,
those in their country of
origin, if rental earnings
are not declared.
More than 300,000 expatriate property investors in
Spain are British.
With recent interest rate
rises and the slowing down
of the housing market,
more and more people are
turning to the tourism market to offset their losses.
Given the fact that buyto-let mortgages are more
readily available nowadays,
many expatriates have
been seduced into investing
in property in Spain with
rental income from holidaymakers paying their mortgage and providing them
with an additional income.
An average two-bedroom
apartment with a sea view
can net as much as 1,400
euros per week in the height
EX-PATS: May face wrath of two sets of authorities
of the summer season.
A number of Brits
with property in the
Balearic Islands and on
the Andalucía coast have
revealed that they were
reported to the authorities
by their Spanish neighbours for letting out their
premises.
Most say they bought
their second homes for
investment purposes and
that, after advertising them
on the Internet for holiday
rental, were booked solid
for most of the year.
However, they now face
five-figure fines, in some
cases considerably more
than they have earned from
letting the property – which
was, in most instances,
merely a way of paying the
mortgage.
Most home-owners have
no idea that their premises
require licensing by the
tourist authorities in order
to be used as holiday rentals until they are hit with
legal action.

Vegara claims rise
in personal wealth
The average income per
head in Spain has risen
by 18 per cent during the
current legislation, reveals
Secretary of State for the
Economy, David Vegara.
When José Luis Rodríguez
Zapatero came into power
in 2004, the average annual income per person was
19,000 euros. This has
increased to 23,000 euros.
Vegara also declared recently that despite this year’s
interest rate hikes, only one
fifth of residents in Spain
have had to tighten their
belts because of mortgage
payments going up.
In fact, 80 per cent of mortgage holders are currently
paying less than when they
initially contracted the
loan.
Despite a general rise in
household debt over the
last three years, Vegara
says this is in line with an
overall increase in personal
wealth.
Abbey boosts
tracker rates
for investors
One of Abbey’s most popular ranges of accounts, the
Base Rate Tracker series has
consistently performed well
thanks to a quick response
to adjustments in UK interest rates, says marketing
and business development
manager Jane Matthews.
She highlights the simplicity and transparency of the
accounts and easy access
via online banking.
The Base Rate Tracker
Term Issue 6, a one-year
product, now pays a bonus
at an increased rate of 5.8
per cent until the end of
August. From then until
the end of 2007, the rate will
be 0.1 per cent plus the UK
base rate and finally, from
January 1 to May 6, 2008,
the account pays according
to the UK base rate.
A recent hike in the UK
base rate has had a knockon effect for the country’s
financial
institutions,
although this is good news
for investors.
From May 14, Abbey
International, a subsidiary
of Banco Santander Central
Hispano, has upped its
interest rates on a range of
products. The bank’s Base
Rate Tracker accounts
carry a guarantee that
they will be adjusted
within two working days
of any base rate change
in Great Britain.

Gay weddings could mean
big bucks for economy
Spain’s law allowing same-sex couples to
marry could be big business. In the USA,
gay men and women can only marry in the
state of Massachusetts. However, William
Thompson, a financial controller from the
Big Apple, says the country could be sitting
on a fortune.
If all states allowed gay and lesbian marriages, it could create multi-million-dollar business. In New York city alone, the
economy would see an instant injection
of 142 million dollars. When the whole of
New York State is taken into consideration, this figure rises to 184 million dollars,
Thompson reveals. This is partly because
numerous couples from outside the city
would travel to New York to marry.
Accommodation, wedding dresses and
suits, flowers, receptions, and other sundry
expenses take the cost of the average wedding in the city to 37,000 dollars.
A census has revealed that there are nearly
51,000 gay couples in the country, almost
half of whom live in New York. This would
net three million dollars in marriage licences alone.
Although such a law seems unlikely to be
passed anywhere else in the USA, a report
by democrat Eliot Spitzer presented to the
Senate listed the advantages, economic
and otherwise, of allowing gay weddings
to go ahead.

NATIONAL PRIDE: The Olympic Committee want to put Spain’s anthem to words
There is a move afoot to put words to the Spanish national
anthem in order to inspire the country’s sportsmen and
women.
Spain’s Olympic Committee President Alejandro Blanco
says he was moved to call for lyrics after hearing Liverpool
fans belt out “You’ll Never Walk Alone” from the terraces.
Spain’s Royal March has an up-tempo tune but has been
stripped of words in the past for their links to previous
political regimes.
“More than envy, I feel a great admiration (when I see
other national teams singing their anthems),” Alejandro
Blanco told reporters.

Spain goalkeeper Iker Casillas said: “It would help fire up

helped unite the players, and encourage the team spirit.”
Choosing the words will be a difficult task in a nation with
keen local rather than national loyalties.
A previous attempt to come up with lyrics a few years ago
failed because no one could agree what they should be.
“No one should see this as a political opportunity. The
intention is to reflect the pride of our sportspeople when
they represent us at great events. Sport should unite people,” Blanco said.

Villa earns Spain Spain’s coach Aragonés
a Euro 2-0 win
retires after Euro 2008
Striker David Villa scored
two neatly-taken goals
to earn Spain a 2-0 Euro
2008 qualifying win in
Liechtenstein that lifted
them into second place in
Group F on Wednesday.
Villa put Spain ahead in
the eighth minute when he
slotted home from a tight
angle after rounding the
keeper and took his tally
to 12 goals in 23 games
with an overhead kick
soon after.
Villa’s early goals were
rare bright spots in an
otherwise
lack-lustre
performance from Spain
and the striker spurned
the chance to complete a
hat-trick when he fired
an injury-time penalty
against a post.
The win, Spain’s fourth
in a row in Group F, left
them on 15 points from
seven matches, one behind
Sweden, who crushed
Iceland 5-0 in Stockholm.
The Swedes, however,
could move to 18 if they
are awarded all three
points from Saturday’s
match against Denmark
which was abandoned
at 3-3 after a Danish fan
attacked the referee with a
minute to go.
“I’m satisfied because
we won and because we
controlled
the
game
well,” Spain’s coach Luis
Aragonés
told
Radio
Marca. “We wasted too
many chances, but the
important thing was to
win.”
Spain’s coach Luis Aragonés
will step down from his post
when his contract expires
after Euro 2008.
“I’ve told the Federation
that they should be looking for a replacement for
after the European championship,” the 68-yearold was quoted as saying
ARAGONÉS:
Stepping down
by the Spanish media on
Wednesday.
“It’s natural that they should
look for a new direction after
Euro 2008.”
Aragonés took over as Spain
coach from Iñaki Sáez in
July 2004 after heavy campaigning by the Madridbased media, but he has
enjoyed little success at the
helm of the national side.
Derogatory remarks about
French striker Thierry
Henry made to his Arsenal
teammate José Antonio
Reyes caused controversy
that marred his first season and results on the pitch
have been disappointing.
Before last year’s World Cup,
Aragonés said he would step
down if Spain did not reach
the quarter-finals, but he
reversed his decision after
the tournament.
He came under pressure to
resign after defeats against
Northern
Ireland
and
Sweden in qualification for
Euro 2008, but was given
a two-year contract extension by the Spanish Football
Federation (RFEF).

Hard fight for Dénia
On Sunday Dénia Rugby
Club Juveniles (under 19s)
faced a very strong Pencoed
Colts XV in Dénia. Pencoed,
fresh from a comfortable
victory over a full strength
Community of Valencia
Juvenile side the previous day in Valencia were
keen to finish their tour
to Spain unbeaten. Having
played together for nearly
eight seasons, they quickly
demonstrated why they are
one of the best young sides
in the South of Wales. With
several players already
having Senior 1st XV experience back home and others looking at professional
contracts, the young side
basically showed how the
game should be played. A
steely determination from
a solid, well drilled but
not sizeable pack provided
the type of possession that
quality backs often only
dream about. The first half
was highly competitive
with the relatively inexperienced Dénia side holding
their own in the set pieces
but finding the loose a taller order. A 28-0 half time
lead for the visitors was
fully deserved, but Dénia
were fully justified in feel-
ing proud of their achievements. Perhaps more pitch
time during the season
and therefore confidence
in possession would have
turned several half chances into scores. Pencoed
continued to dominate during the second half where
the heat was perhaps the
dominant factor, but both
sides kept going until the
end, utilising some senior
players at various stages
and continuing to entertain the sizeable crowd.
A fifty-something final
score-line was representative of the difference in
the two sides. Both sets of
players will have learned
much from the experience
that bonding whilst on
tour brings to the realisation of how much effort
is involved both on and
off the pitch in producing
a team full of ability and
confidence. Many thanks to
Pencoed for visiting Dénia

Andy Murray’s Wimbledon
plans were in chaos last
night after he revealed
he will miss next week’s
Artois Championships at
Queen’s.
He has failed to recover
from the wrist injury suffered in Hamburg last
month in time to play in
the key grass-court warmup tournament ahead of
the Championships.
The British No.1 had to
pull out of the ongoing
French Open with the
injury, which has still not
healed sufficiently for him
to return to match action.
What’s in a
name
The European Tour is
ready to change name as
it tries to compete with
the allure of the US PGA
Tour.
The Tour is looking to
forge closer ties with the
rest of the world to make
it more attractive and stop
the top players staying in
America.
Europe’s players already
find themselves travelling to Australasia, Asia
and the Middle East, but
many of the tournaments
at home and abroad now
take place with weaker
fields because of conflicting events in the United
States.
“The idea of amalgamating
with other tours to put on
a really attractive schedule
by whatever name we call
it is one that we are in the
final stages of refining,”
European Tour executive
director George O’Grady
said.
Tempting
suggestion
Robert Pires has urged his
old Arsenal team-mates
Thierry Henry and Cesc
Fabregas to join him in
Spain.
The French winger, who
last summer ended his
six-year spell with the
Gunners, now plays for
Villarreal in La Liga.
Both Barcelona and Real
Madrid are eager to raid
the Emirates Stadium for
captain Henry and Spanish
prodigy Fabregas.
And Pires, 33, has now done
his former boss Arsene
Wenger no favours by
advising the pair to move
to the Nou Camp.
Kiwi’s ticket to America’s Cup
The New Zealand team on Flying
Emirates have won the fifth consecutive race in the Louis Vuitton Cup
and qualified for the final showdown against the Swiss syndicate
Alinghi.
The Kiwis remained undefeated against Italy’s Luna Rossa in
the best-of-nine competition off
Valencia. The America’s Cup final
is due to begin on June 23.
The Italians fought hard to stay in
contention on Wednesday, catching
up with the New Zealanders when
they threw in a fake gybe on the first
downwind leg and engaged in a long
tacking duel back up to the top pin.
But time and again, Kiwi skipper
Dean Barker sped up and pulled clear
of the Luna Rossa challenge and on
the final leg kept the advantage to
cross the line 22 seconds ahead.
The usually reserved Kiwi crew
finally jumped into each other’s
DEFEATED: Louis Vuitton cup going to New Zealand
arms, whooping and cheering.
“This is our ticket to the America’s
Cup which is why we’re here,
so it was a huge relief once we
crossed the line,” said New
Zealand trimmer Tony Rae.
The win sets up a rematch of the
2003 America’s Cup when twotime winner New Zealand lost
sailing’s most prestigious prize
to Alinghi, a debut challenger
from landlocked Switzerland.
“They have had the benefit of the
Louis Vuitton series to get their
game bigger and better so they are
a force to be reckoned with,” said
Alinghi skipper and former New
Zealand sailor Brad Butterworth.
It will be the fourth time in a row
that Team New Zealand features in
the competition for the Auld Mug.
“There isn’t an element of revenge,”
said helmsman Barker about the
rematch with the Swiss boat.
As
for
defender
Alinghi,
they
are
fine-tuning
their
two boats SUI91 and SUI100.
The Swiss won the local Desafío
Español team as sparring partner
ahead of the final series.
ENGLAND TRIUMPH
AGAINST ESTONIA
England’s golden boy David
Beckham inspired England
to a comfortable Euro 2008
qualifier win against Estonia
in Tallinn on Wednesday to
ease the pressure on Steve
McClaren. Joe Cole broke the
deadlock after 36 minutes to
volley home Peter Crouch’s
flick.
Crouch doubled England’s
lead eight minutes after the
break when he headed home a
superb Beckham cross.
Beckham then provided a far
post cross for Michael Owen
to add England’s third after
61 minutes.
It was a professional display
from England that sets them
up for the crucial qualifying tests against Croatia and
Russia later this year.
England, as expected, recalled
Crouch up front alongside
Owen, and he had a hand in
the goal that finally broke the
deadlock.
The only downside on
England’s night was a late
booking for Crouch which
rules him out of the qualifier with Israel at Wembley in
September.
Estonia almost claimed their
first goal of the qualifying
campaign in injury time, but
captain John Terry cleared off
the line from Tarmo Kink.
England’s hopes of qualifying for the Euro 2008 finals
received a boost as Croatia
dropped two home points
after sharing a goalless draw
with Russia.
But Slaven Bilic’s side stay
top of Group E, ahead on goal
difference of Israel, who beat
Andorra 2-0 away.
Russia are third on 15 points,
with England a point behind
in fourth place.
England still have to play
Croatia at Wembley, while
Steve McClaren’s side have
yet to play Russia in the
group.
The game between Andorra
and Israel was played in atrocious conditions after torrential rain made ball control
difficult.
The conditions contributed to
Israel’s first goal in the 38th
minute when Andorra goalkeeper Koldo Álvarez failed
to collect the ball as it stopped
dead in a puddle.
Koldo’s mistake enabled
Roberto Colautti to put over a
cross that Toto Tamuz headed
home from close range.
Colautti scored the second
goal in the 53rd minute when
Barak Yitzhaki crossed from
the right as the Argentineborn striker dived low to head
in.
In the 81st minute Andorra
won a penalty but substitute
Juli Sánchez shot low and
wide of the target.
Scotland earned a victory
over the Faroe Islands in
Toftir’s Svangaskard Stadium
to maintain their hopes of
Euro 2008 qualification from
Group B.
Shaun Maloney put Scotland
ahead on his competitive
international debut before
Garry O’Connor made it two
in a first half, which the visitors dominated, before the
Faroes’ second half revival.
Italy, France and Ukraine are
all rivalling Scotland for a
top-two finish.
