DISPUTE OVER
GOLD MILLIONS
An
American
salvage
company has retrieved
over 17 tons of silver coins
plus hundreds of gold coins
valued to be worth more
than 371 million euros, from
a shipwreck off the coast of
Gibraltar.
Odyssey Marine Exploration of Florida claims
that the treasure was
recovered
“beyond
the
legal jurisdiction of any
country,” but the Council
for British Archaeology
states that the wreck is in
waters that are disputed
as being either Spanish or
International.
Odyssey
denies
that
treasure recovered from
the shipwreck was from
HMS Sussex, a 17th century
English ship which is
thought to lie somewhere
to the East of the Gibraltar
straits.
The
US
company
in
Florida say that the ‘Black
Swan’, which is the name
they have given to the
shipwreck, is not the HMS
Sussex.
Nevertheless,
Odyssey Marine Exploration is waiting for the
Spanish government to
name some divers who will
have the responsibility for
overseeing the US company
whilst they carry out
further exploration in the
Mar de Alborán aimed at
locating the wreck of HMS
Sussex.
A judge awarded the US
company the exclusive
rights over the recovery
of this shipwreck just days
before it announced the
discovery of 500,000 coins.
To date Odyssey Marine
Exploration has refused to
say whether the coins are
from the shipwreck in the
English channel.
The
Spanish
government has opened an
investigation to find out
where the US company
discovered the gold coins,
from which shipwreck,
what permission it had
and most importantly if
the treasure was found
in Spanish waters. The
Spanish
Minister
for
Culture, Carmen Calvo,
emphasised that when
the matter was clarified
the government would act
accordingly as Spanish
law states that anything
discovered off the Spanish
coast belongs to Spain.
HMS Sussex was Admiral
Sir
Francis
Wheeler’s
flagship,
escorting
a
fleet of warships to the
Mediterranean
when
she was lost on her first
major voyage in 1694.
Her Admiral had a secret
mission; to pay a large sum
of money to the Duke of
Savoy, an ally of Britain
in the War of the League
of
Augsburg. Evidence
suggests that the payment,
most likely consisting of
tons of gold coins, was lost
with the ship when it sank
in a violent storm, one
day’s sail from Gibraltar.
This is the first time any
government has entered
into an agreement with
the private sector for the
archaeological excavation
of a sovereign warship.
Odyssey was to get 80
percent of the proceeds up
to $45 million, 50 percent
from $45 million to $500
million and 40 percent
above $500 million. The
British government would
get the rest.
Unless the wreck can
be confirmed as HMS
Sussex, the entire treasure
may remain with the US
company.
They
await
the
appointment of Spanish
archaeologists
following
an arrangement with the
Spanish Government and
the regional government
of Andalucía, and the
agreement of the UK
Government.
Currently, Odyssey say
that they have no further
information
on
the
confirmed identification of
the shipwreck.
SPAIN GOES TO THE POLLS

Aznar warns of ‘grave’
period for Spain
Ex PP president claims
Zapatero is undemocratic
A. Elgar
Ex-conservative
PP
president José María
Aznar warned this week
that Spain was entering
a ‘grave’ political period,
with the ruling PSOE
socialist party governing
without electoral support,
with the only aim of
keeping
power
and
excluding the PP from the
political arena.
Aznar, speaking in Madrid
as part of a campaign to
back Esperanza Aguirre
as
regional
Madrid
president and Alberto
Ruiz-Gallardón as city
mayor, referred directly
to the alleged talks
that Spain’s president,
PSOE leader José Luis
Rodríguez Zapatero has
had with ETA’s political
branch, Batasuna, before
they were elected to power.
Aznar stated: “Zapatero
is running the worst
government in democracy.
Three years ago, he
decided to make a u-turn
on the historic political
course that Spain was
making... He has tricked
his party, the socialists
and all the Spanish people.
While he was signing
the anti-terrorist act,
he was negotiating with
terrorists”.
Esperanza
Aguirre stated: “It is
an intolerable scandal.
Zapatero
must
be
punished. Spain does not
deserve a president who
accepts bribery, lies, and
who makes pacts with
terrorists.”
However,
Zapatero
was quick to deny the
allegations,
insisting
that there had been no
meetings with ETA since
the fatal attack on Madrid’s
Barajas airport at the
end of last year, which
brought an end to their
nine-month ceasefire, nor
had meetings been held
with ETA before their 2004
election victory, stating
that the report, published
in the Gara Basque daily
newspaper, was radical
and ‘totally untrue’.
Earlier
this
week,
opposition PP leader,
Mariano Rajoy, urged
Zapatero to explain to
parliament why his party
“met more than 25 times
with Batasuna while still
signed up to the PP’s Pact
for Freedom and against
Terrorism.”
Divorce every four
minutes in Spain
BA joins Iberia bid consortium
There are more divorces
in Spain than in any
other country of the EU,
according to latest research.
The divorce rate increased
by 51 per cent in 2006 with
respect to the previous year,
in which there were nearly
142,000 divorces – that’s one
divorce every four minutes.
The statistics situate Spain
at the head of European
divorce league tables, with
3.16 divorces every 1,000
inhabitants.
The
Canary
Islands
registered most divorces
last year, with 4.35/1,000
inhabitants, just in front
of the Balearics with 4.10
and Cataluña with 3.78.
However, in Castilla-La
Mancha, the divorce rate
tripled in a one-year period,
making it the region where
the highest increase in
divorce had occurred in
Spain.
Cataluña registered 27,000
divorces last year, Valencia
region 17,500, compared to
just 791 in La Rioja, the area
with least divorces. In the

by the Santander group,
Ibersuizas and Quercus.

Experts believe that the
figures clearly show a
breakdown in the family
fabric and the rate has
been
strongly
related
to the ‘quicky’ divorces
introduced in 2005.

making an independent bid
for the airline, but will not

Radicals storm San Spaniards smoke

Sebastián council
Dozens of young radicals
stormed San Sebastián’s
town hall on Tuesday,
protesting
against
the
decision to annul candidacy
of left-wing separatist ANV
party, due to stand at the
local and regional elections
this Sunday, after the party
was deemed illegal.
The incident commenced at
08.40 hrs, when around forty
people, including Batasuna
ministers Íñigo Balza y
Joseba Ibazeta, stormed
the plenary session. Shouts
of “democracy for Euskal
Herria” and “fascists” were
heard as socialist councillor
Susana Corcuera, who
was presiding the session,
asked the radicals to leave
the room. They were then
forcibly removed by local
police officers.
Soon after the incident, a
group of ANV supporters
tried to disrupt a meeting
in Bilbao between the
mayor and the PNV
candidate for mayor, Iñaki
Azkuna.
Meanwhile,
according to Pernando
Barrena, head of the
illegalised Batasuna: “We
will consider the results
of next Sunday’s elections
to be provisional. The
elections are taking place
without democracy, since
they will have impeded
thousands of citizens of
this country from voting for
their favoured party.”

A shower of promises for
the next four years
Public participation is the
key to electoral results
Surveys reveal that anything
is possible on Sunday
B. Chulvi
This week draws to a close
with tension running high
in the political party offices, as the public is left
with a shower of electoral
promises to deliberate.
Everything suggests that
the results will depend on
voter participation, and
if turnout rates equal the
regional election average
of over 70%, the PP party
could experience difficulties in defending their
absolute majority in the
Valencia parliament. Any
party which obtains – or
can form – 50 seats in the
Valencia parliament can
form a government: the
Partido Popular (PP) has
its sights set on exceeding
this figure, whilst the political left, represented by
PSOE (Socialist Party) and
the Compromís pel País Valencià (Commitment to the
Valencia Region) coalition,
aims to form the fifty seats
required to change the ruling power in the Valencia
Regional
Government.
The war between the polls
is almost as fierce as that
between the parties. Polls
carried out by the Centre
of Sociological Research
(CIS) predict that the PP
will indeed win more than
50 seats, thus clinching
the ruling position. On
the other hand, research
undertaken by the Marest
Group and a professor of
statistics at the University
of Valencia, José-Miguel
Bernardos, indicates the
opposite: according to the
Marest Group, the PP will
win 48 seats, whilst José M.
Bernardos predicts that an
electoral wave will see the
party finish with between
45 and 49 seats in parliament. José-Miguel Bernardos, an expert in probability predictions for electoral
processes of international
renown, explains why his
methodology is more reliable. The professor applies
Ignasi Pla
Francisco Camps
Glòria Marcos
a more precise procedure
in the selection of the sample and in the assignation
of undecided voters. “Our
sample has always been
selected from electoral districts that we know from
previous years provide
similar data to those of the
population being studied.
Moreover, with regard to
the probability assignation
of undecided votes, we have
taken into account variables that significantly influence electoral behaviour
like age, gender and educational level”. This method-
ology to predict results was
originally created by the
Valencian professor in the
80s and has been covered
in several internationally
respected scientific magazines such as the Journal
of the American Statistical
Association.

The mayor of Vall d’Alba
(population: 3,000), second
PP candidate on the Castellón provincial list and vice
president of the Castellón
Provincial
Government,
Francisco Martínez, has
witnessed
considerable
gains in his heritage over
the last four years, with several plots of land which do
not appear in the Property
Register. Thirteen of the 16
plots owned by Francisco
Martínez in his village were
given to him by residents.
Of these thirteen, 11 were
given as presents through
the following procedure:
the houses, which did not
appear in the Property Register, were claimed by a
resident who had proof
provided by a civil servant
from the area. This is a legal
procedure which is included
in the Ley Hipotecaria (Law
governing Mortgages) for
cases in which a piece of
land does not appear in the
Property Register, but where there is sufficient proof
that the property belongs
to someone. Nevertheless, a
certain amount of suspicion
surrounds the fact that on
11 occasions, this procedure
resulted in the land being
given to the mayor. One of
the ‘donated’ houses was reclassified by the Town Council, and was subsequently
sold by its owner, the mayor,
for €150,000. The mayor has
stated that “all of the donations are completely legal,
in the same way that any
individual can receive donations from their parents or
friends”. The area governed
by Martínez, Vall d’Alba, is
currently under investigation as a result of huge increases in the electoral roll,
which the town council was
unable to justify.

Two women
in the battle
for Valencia
Contrasting views of the city
of Valencia go to the polls
B. Chulvi
The electoral results in
the city of Valencia are
key to events in the rest of
the Valencia Region. In the
city two women as alike as
chalk and cheese are using
two very different methods
to fight to implement two
very different programmes.
They are Carmen Alborch,
former minister of culture
and lecturer in commercial
law at the University of Valencia, for the PSOE (Socialist Party); and Valencia’s
current mayor, Rita Barberá, for the PP (Partido Popular).
The PP’s main argument
is that through its management, the series of international events held in Valencia has put the city on the
world map. “Before, there
was nothing going on in
Valencia. Now we have managed to leave behind passiveness and lethargy. Today
Valencia is a cosmopolitan
and much admired city, but
it is also a city with a good
quality of life, with public
services and infrastructure
that did not exist before, it
is finally a modern city that
aims to be a leader and be
well known internationally.” states Barberá.
In contrast to this idyllic vision of the city, the
socialist Carmen Alborch
maintains that Valencia is a
city of great inequality because the benefits of these
international events have
not been correctly distributed around the city. “There
are many cities in the city.
There are neighbourhoods
that have a soul and others
where that soul is being removed by property speculation. When you speak to
people you realise what is
happening.” says Alborch.
“Speculators are trying to
make everything uniform
and destruct to construct,”
says Alborch. The Esquerra
Unida (United Left) mayoral candidate, Amadeu Sanchis, is also of this opinion:
“Valencia
is
becoming
more and more like the cities we see on American
TV series, where there is
great splendour, but when
you start to dig around, like
in New York, you find that
Carmen Alborch
behind Fifth Avenue there
is the Bronx, and Harlem”.
“This”, maintains Sanchis
“is what is happening in
Valencia and in a very cruel
way on the seafront, where
there are mega-yachts in
the port alongside people
who are lacking basic infrastructure like schools
and health centres.”
We already know that it
will be a tremendous duel,
but until barely a week ago
nobody would have dared to
predict Barberá losing after
16 years heading the Council. Returning to the war of
polls, the most interesting
point is that raised by the
Amadeu Sanchis
Is the electoral candidate for leftwing parties Esquerra Unida and
Esquerra Republicana, and green
party Els Verds – a stance that means
he can support Carmen Alborch in
her candidature for mayoress. Until
just a few months ago, Sanchis was a
total stranger to Valencia residents,
but those who now know him say he
has been warmly welcomed, particularly amongst expatriates and young
people. Sanchis has been co-ordinator
for the EU in the city of Valencia for
13 years, has studied political science
and has very close ties to the Cabanyal
neighbourhood. One of the surprising
elements of his left-wing political CV
is that he retains strong links with the
deep-rooted traditions of his part of
town and he is the captain of one of
the oldest Semana Santa (Easter parade) brotherhoods. Sanchis’ hopes to
promote a more balanced city, planned
around the everyday social lives of its
people and designed for them to participate fully, including fundamental
and manageable social, financial and
environmental initiatives.
The “valencianistas”: The great unknown
Vicente González-Lizondo
Unió Valenciana
He is the son of Vicente
González Lizondo, founder of
this right-wing ‘Valencianist’
party. It was with the help of
this party that Rita Barberá
became mayoress for the first
time. The party represents
what is known as ‘blaverismo’
– which is, above all, an antiCatalán sentiment and ties in
to distrust felt publically.
Juan García Sentandreu
Coalició Valenciana
A lawyer by profession, he
chose to create his own party
after various attempts to get
into the PP or the Unión Valenciana. His people-orientated
and anti-Catalan speech, and
his constant references to
immigration, situate him on
the extreme right. He was a
falangist and has no intention
of leaving his past behind.

Valencia University professor of statistics, José-Miguel Bernardo, who predicts
a very tight situation: the
PSOE and the PP could win
between 15 and 17 seats and
Esquerra Unida between 0
and 2. According to other polls, like the one undertaken
by Marest, the surprise in
these elections in Valencia
may be provided by a new
party, Coalición Valenciana
(Valencia Coalition). This
is a right-wing pro-Valencia
grouping that essentially
feeds off the dislike of all
things Catalan. If the results end up as Marest predicts, this group could hold
the key to the city of Valencia, and Rita Barberá would
find herself in the same
situation as she was when
she first became mayor: in
coalition with right-wing
nationalism.
The results of the poll
undertaken by José-Miguel
Bernardo indicate that the
majority agree on certain
matters: 91.3% of those polled believe that the council
should allocate more resources to the elderly, 78.9%
that there should be more
local police and 78.8% that
it is important to create
more subsidised housing.
66.4% of citizens believe
that more should be invested in social issues and less
in major projects, whereas
60% would like the council
to provide more education
centres. At least 58% are of
the opinion that development is out of control. With
regard to traffic, 49% would
like to see improvements in
public transport and 39% in
the distribution and development of car parks.

The flurry to attend as
many inaugurations as
possible during the electoral campaign can come
back to bite politicians on
the nose. This has certainly been the case with the
L’Almoina museum in Valencia, which was destined
to become the city’s leading
archaeological
museum.
The current situation sees
the museum’s doors now
firmly shut. It was closed
just three days after its inauguration at a campaign
event by the city’s current
mayor, Rita Barberá. Last
weekend, almost 500 visitors flocked to the museum,
which displays a range of
the city’s Visigoth, Roman
and Arabic remnants. Currently, however, visits
have been suspended until
further notice.
It seems that 40% of parents
who drive their children to
school fail to use children’s
seats or seat belts. This
data emerged from a study
carried out by the Association for the Prevention of
Accidents (DIA). This association has launched a campaign with the slogan ‘En
el coche también debes cuidarme’ (I need to be looked
after in the car, too). The
association has published
horrifying results: since
the introduction of the driving license points system,
the number of deaths resulting from traffic accidents
has decreased in every age
group. But mortality figures for under 14s have increased by almost 20%, attributed by the association
to a fundamental lack of
conscience in parents.

Dénia mayor accused
in delay over hospital
Planning permissions not yet
granted for district hospital
Samantha Kett and
Cornelia Muller
Dénia’s new district hospital is no nearer to being
built, claims the right-wing
Partido Popular (PP).
The party accused the
town’s existing socialist
government of failing to
grant the necessary planning permission for the
much-needed centre.
A full council meeting
presided by PP electoral
candidate Ana Kringe last
Wednesday led to confrontation between the two sides
over delays in the plans.
Kringe accused mayoress
Paqui Viciano (PSPV) of
‘hindering’ the project, intimating that she has ‘boycotted’ decisions to allocate
land to the new hospital.
The right-wing candidate
claims the centre should be
up and running by now.
She also condemns the
fact that plans for a new,
larger health centre with
medical specialists in situ
are still waiting approval.
The existing emergency
clinic on C/ Marqués de
Campo is to be demolished
to make way for the new
surgery, but the regional
ministry of health’s application to do so remains in
the council’s in-tray, storms
Kringe.
José Joaquín Ripoll,
president of the provincial
council, the Diputación
de Alicante, supported
Kringe’s view and slammed
Dénia’s local authority for
allegedly placing obstacles
in the way of the hospital’s
construction.
He says: “First, they organised protest marches.
Second, they refused to
hand over the land needed
for building. It was only
when Ondara and Benissa
councils offered to build the
hospital in their towns that
Dénia co-operated.”
The new hospital has

began to leave the Marina Alta health service in
droves, fearing standards

At last week’s meeting,
the socialists accused the

public’s health, not expanding the existing La Pedrera
hospital and instead resorting to inadequate measures
like setting up pre-fabricated buildings for consultations.

More parking, less in-fighting
The battle for the mayor’s
seat is hotting up in the
Marina Alta, and welcome
new proposals are coming
forward from hopefuls in

Electoral candidate for the
Centre Unificat, Pepa Font,
has promised thousands of
new parking spaces for the
town if she gets the vote.
Residents and visitors alike
find it more and more difficult to find parking places
in the town, particularly
during office hours or in
the height of summer.
Font says she wants to see
improvement works carried out in Dénia to make
life easier for those living
in the municipality and not
forgetting those that travel
in from outside.
She proposes building at
least 4,500 new parking spaces and two roundabouts
near the new hospital if her
Centre Unificat party comes
into power.
The candidate also intends
to turn the main Las Mari-
nas road into a single-carriageway boulevard and
build a new bus station.
Font says she will promote
‘open discussion’ between
parties if she wins the mayoress’ seat, stressing she
will not ‘block other parties’ proposals for the sake
of it’ and that she wants to
see the ‘crispness’ between
rival councillors ‘disappear’.
“I want Dénia to be a town
we can be proud of,” she declares.

Construction row over
Calpe’s front line hotel
Hotel owner claims media
are running smear campaign
Cornelia Muller
A possible legal battle
could ensue between the
ministry of environment
Costas department, and
the constructors of a new
hotel on La Fossa beach in
Calpe.
This week, the general
director of Costas, José
Fernández, inspected the
construction site.
Fernández claims that
the excavations for the
foundations have advanced
and that the finished building will actually be less
than 20 metres away from
the sea.
However, the constructor,
Manuel Ferrando, claims
that the building complies
with all the legal requirements and has all the necessary licences in place.
Current Costas regulations dictates that constructions must be at least
100 metres from the sea and
that the area between the
building and the sea has to
be public property.
The ministry of environment is preparing a preliminary building stop on
the construction to look
into the legal situation of
the construction, but the
Mayor of Calpe (PP), Javier
Morató, says he will resort
to legal measures if the
building is halted.
Luis Serna, the top candidate for the socialist opposition party in Calpe said
that their party is in favour
of further developments in
Calpe, but not at any price.
Serna went on to say that
his party opposes any aggressive developments that
may not be in line with the
sustainable development
of the town.
Manuel Ferrando claims
that he is the victim of a
media smear campaign, and
that the hotel will give people jobs. Serna replied that
the hotel will have the same
jobs 100 metres further
back. “The hotel is more
than 40 metres away from
the water,” the developer
insisted. Another socialist,
Herick Campos, added that
“The building permit has
expired. It was granted on
May 20, 2004 and expired
two years later.” However,
Ferrando believes that because of the elections he is
being scapegoat.
The mayor of Calpe, Javier Morató, insisted that the
construction of the hotel is
going ahead. He confirmed
that all necessary permissions were granted, that the
hotel will have 24 storeys
and a height of 82 metres.
He described the actions of
the PSOE as nervous, since
they know that they are going to lose the elections.
The promoter Manuel
CALPE: Construction and environmental issues reign
Ferrando has presented a
public manifesto to explain
his position in which he
states that the media have
deliberately obstructed his
development undemocratically.
His company Ifach Mar
SL is determined to refute
any falsehoods, given that
licenses were already issued and can be checked
with all corresponding bodies. Further developments
will probably now await the
election results.
Joan Miquel Garcés: I’m dedicated to the future of my village.
What is the main point on your electoral programme?
Our programme consists of five points. Three are for the people in
Xaló: we want to improve their wellbeing, provide for their education
and for more cultural events in the village. The fourth point is for
a productive economy, we want to attract more tourism and more
businesses. The last promise concerns the territory. We will only
permit a sustainable development of the village. There are two
million square metres of urban land. Each year we will only approve
the development of two areas. This year it is the development of the
Camino Cementerio and the Cotas Bajas.
What projects have you planned for the next legislative period?
The main project is the creation of a day centre for the elderly. We
have not started any work on it yet. Other projects that are more
advanced are the extension of the school, which still depends on the
approval of the authorities in Valencia. Xaló will have a new health
centre. This has already been approved and the financing is in place.
I think by the end of the year it will be ready to be opened. We have
already asked for the subsidies for the new cultural centre, but it is a
little out of our hands how long it will take to be granted the money.
The last project we have planned is the frontón, the outdoor tennis
court. We have the financing in place, but do not know when construction is starting and the new eco-park for recycling was opened
on Wednesday.
What are you going to do for the foreign residents?
Well, we have had a councillor for the foreigners for the last four
years. Jane has done a fantastic job as councillor for women and
immigration. Now Christian Wisotzki is taking over from her. He
is a multi lingual talent and has a degree in tourism. We also have
Richard Taylor on place eight of our list.
How do you want to integrate foreign residents?
At the moment many have their own shops and bars. We would
like to encourage that they mingle more with us and vice versa. We
have been working on the Agenda Local 21. There have been a few
mistakes, and we are going to sit down together with the residents
to correct all mistakes.
What do you think attracts the people to Jalón?
The landscape, the mountains, and the tranquillity. Here we do not
have such densely constructed areas.
What sets you apart from the other political parties?
We are honest. What we say is what we mean and what we do. We
are also the only party that has foreigners on their list of candidates.
We have always put ourselves out to include them.
We have done a lot for the village. Last Friday we were given the
Cicerone award for the best market on the Costa Blanca.
We guarantee when it comes to the development of the Camino del
Cemeterio – this is the access road to the school that we are going
to extend – that people will know exactly how much they have to pay
for the infrastructure. We work on the basis of a public consensus
where everybody can participate.
Is the valley safe?
It is a lot safer than most other places. We have a few burglaries in
the winter time when more houses are empty, but the numbers are
negligible. We are, however, not content with the number of police
men and Guardia Civil’s. The five agents that are stationed here have
to cover all the way from Lliber to Castell de Castells. This is too
much for them.
Will you allow more urbanisations being built?
We have not re-qualified any land since we came into power. We
have inherited all the existing urbanisations from the PP. We stand
for natural growth of the village and want to consolidate the village.
Do you think you can continue the good work of César?
For the last four years I have been the councillor for financial affairs
and the justice of the peace. I want to dedicate myself 100% to the
village. I am 35 years old, single and my parents have lived here for
generations.
My whole team that supports me is from Xaló and I am sure that
César will help me out with his long experience.

Concrete jungle plan
scrapped by courts
Samantha Kett
Radical plans to build yet
another large-scale ‘concrete jungle’ on a stretch of
countryside in Pedreguer
have been scrapped by a
combination of Pedreguer
council and the supreme
court.
A total of 575 houses were
projected for the La Solana
area of the village, which is
on the side of a mountain in
an unspoilt rural stretch of
countryside.
Developers Construcciones
Llobell S.L. intended to extend the existing La Solana
housing estate, which currently has 200 properties.
However, the Supreme Court
of Alicante has backed Pedreguer town council, who
rejected the plans.
Politicians were against the
proposed new development
on the grounds that it would
wipe out 600,000 square metres of countryside in need
of preservation.
A judge declared that the
conservational value of the
land was such that it should
be classed as a protected
green belt area or Zona Verde.
It is home to a multitude of
endangered species of flora
and fauna, including birds
of prey and plants unique
to the Valencian region, the
court heard.
It is now clear that any landowners who face financial
loss as a result of the building plans being suspended will not be entitled to
compensation, declared the
judge.

been accused by mayor
Juan Bautista Roselló of
paying a 12,000-euro bail
payment by claiming on the
local authority’s insurance
money.
Roselló publicly denounced
Mollà and Reyero last week.
He considers their actions
to be ‘a possible offence of
misuse of public funds’.
Mollà, however, stresses
that political party members have the right to use
council funds for civil liability cases.
The mayor himself, claims
Mollà, could claim on the
insurance policy to pay off
legal costs.
The accused councillor
insists that the insurance
broker would not have accepted the claim if he had not
acted correctly.
He calls Roselló’s accusations ‘defamation’.
Reyero accuses the mayor
of staging a witch-hunt and
says he has taken disciplinary action against her,
both of which were subsequently declared null and
void.
Without increasing any taxes on urban or rural land or property, we
have only increasd rubbish-collection rates to 60 euros per household
(which remains insufficient to cover our costs in this respect). For this
reason, we have formed a ‘mancommunity’, or joint political venture,
with different villages in the area in order to be able to collect rates
and provide services altogether. Our aim is to avoid increasing rubbish
collection rates and to avail ourselves of sports and cultural facilities.

La Nucía
Until June 18 the L’Auditori
de La NucÍa will exhibit 15
original lithographies of
the Catalan artist Joan
Miró. The town hall and
Banca March have organised and financed the exhibition with the title “Homage to Joan Prats“. Prats
was a close friend of the
artist and one of the art
patron in the Barcelona
of the beginning of the
20th century. In 1971 Miró
worked on a series of lithographies. Miró dedicated

Prats.
The exhibition is open from

Illegal games
The town hall of Benidorm
has started an advertising
campaign against the trile,
a popular game where someone hides a stone or olive pit
under one of three cups and
the people watching bet to
guess where the stone is hidden. The games, which are
mainly played on the beaches, are illegal. The town hall
has painted the city buses
to inform the public, the
residents and the visitors,
on the practice of the game
in various languages and to
encourage them to abstain
from participating in the
game. The campaign lasts
about one month. The councillor for public safety José

may extend it for as long as
it takes to achieve noticeable results.

12 for primary children, a
dining hall for 200 children,
a sports hall, and a porter’s
lodge. Seven classrooms and
two toilets for 140 pupils are
prefabricated modules and
can already be put together.
The plot is 15,000 square metres large, so there is space
to extend the school should
the need arise. Construction
will take 18 months and the
school should be completed
in the last quarter of 2008.

Head to head race to
be the new mayor
Pérez Fenoll and Agustín
Navarro are neck and neck
in the Benidorm mayoral
campaign
Sergi Castillo and
Cornelia Muller
The two larger parties in Benidorm, PP and PSOE, are
competing this Sunday, May
27 after the most argued
over elections since 1991,
when the conservatives lost
by only a few votes. Then,
they put forward a motion
for a census, together with a
turncoat from the socialists,
and came into power.
At present, the PP has 14
councillors, the PSOE has
11. However, these figures
could be inverted if the
most optimistic predictions
come true for the socialists.
In 2003, the socialists received 1,700 votes less than
the list of Pérez Fenoll (PP),
but the leaders of the leftist party that contested the
votes have declared their
support for Navarro, which
increases their chances to
win.
The main electoral prom-
ise of the PP is to build the
Cultural Centre in the Avenida de Europa; the first
stone has already been put
down. “This is the main
project we have planned.
Apart from that we will
also build three new social
centres in town and we will
focus our efforts on the construction of council flats
for young couples and the
elderly. The first project
with 84 units is already under way, said Pérez Fenoll.
The socialist candidate
Agustín Navarro explained
that his programme is based
on the “15 large projects for
a New Benidorm”. It includes a series of measures
to significantly improve the
services and the infrastructure for the residents in the
centre of town, which have
been forgotten in the last
16 years, since the Partido
Popular came into power.
“We want to make Benidorm a better place to live,
work in and enjoy. The New
CANDIDATES: Manuel Pérez Fenoll and Agustín Navarro
Benidorm will be participatory and associations and
other groups will be part
of the decision making
process of the local government, unlike in the times
when the PP has been in
power and the government
is like a closed court.”
For Fenoll (PP) the main
problems of the town stem
from projects funded by the
central government in Madrid, projects such as the
transfer of water from the
river Ebro, the AVE, the fast
train link between Madrid
and the recuperation of
the coast as a natural park,
after a licence was granted
by the socialist government
for the construction of two
high rises.
Navarro (PSOE) on the
other hand says that it is
more and more difficult for
young people to buy a home,
the prices are too high, and
young people are forced to
leave the town and settle in
smaller villages. He says,
“Benidorm needs to recu-
perate the image of a young
and attractive town, which
it used to have a few decades ago. The politicians
and members of the town
need to work towards this
new image. Young people
should have a wider choice
of computer courses. Other
important initiatives we are
working on are the regulation of the property rental
market, affordable and
council flats, music events
on the beach and the new
centre for young people.”

country democratic when
the people demonstrate on
the streets and demand that
the country does not enter
into a war, but the government decides to go to war.”
She added, “We do not want
to be compared with you,
we are different.”
She described the relations
between the Cuban government and Spanish companies as very good and said
that she hoped that the relations will be very good in
the future, too.

Municipal deals
out of control
Town hall officials claim that
all public property is under
control, but some doubt it.
Cornelia Muller
A number of irregularities
on properties owned by the
town hall have been discovered. Representatives of
the town hall have varying
stories and explanations for
the cases.
In the urbanisation Montbenidorm in La Cala a private company has applied
for a licence at the town hall
to transform office premises into residential flats. The
premises have been owned
by the town hall since they
were ceded to the town 16
years ago. As the town hall
has not yet taken possession of the premises, this
company registered them in
their name and sold them to
a related company to cover
traces. A few weeks later
the town hall grants the licence for the new flats.
Several
conservative
councillors gave contradictory information on the
ownership of these properties until they admitted
Crime
Burglars
caught
Last week four young Romanians between the age of
19 and 34 assaulted an elderly couple in their home
in L’Alfàs del Pi. The intruders who had their faces
covered in balaclavas held
the couple down for about
two hours. They hit them
in the face, the arms and
other parts of their bodies
causing bruises, and cut the
wife to frighten both. They
forced the husband to open
the safe and to show them
where they kept more money and jewellery. Finally the
burglars fled in the couple’s
car.
In less than 24 hours the
four Romanians were detained. They were still in
the robbed car. In the interior of the car they found
a golden watch, two mobile
phones, a DVD player, a
record player, tools, a cement mixer and 20,000 euros in cash.
The detained delinquents
are now under arrest waiting for the court sentence.
that the licence had been
granted by mistake. “They
are ours, and we are going
to recuperate them”, one of
them said. In the meantime,
a municipal employee has
changed the locks and put
up a sign “municipal property”. However, the land
register says something different. It is difficult to come
to the bottom of the story
since a key database of the
town hall has been deleted.
There are another five
apartments and some shop
premises in a heavily frequented tourist area that
were donated to the town
hall to legalise urban infringements of the night
club Hipopodrome. The
deal was approved in 2000,
but seven years later they
are still not registered as
municipal property and
are still let out privately
as neighbours confirm. At
least the night club is legal.
The ground floor of one
of the most well-known
buildings in Benidorm,
the Playmon, was put un-

der an embargo, because
it was still in the name of
the former owner, after it
had been ceded to the town
hall as a compensation. The
town hall found out when it
was about to be auctioned
and could recuperate it at
the last minute.
For several years the
bar in the hermitage Sanz
has been run by a private
person without giving any
money to the town hall.
After he was denounced he
had to pay a fine of 6,000 eu-
ros. The bar of the municipal sports centre and the
social centre for old people
are in a similar situation.
The opposition claims
that about 222 million euros were given to the PP
as presents for the ten per
cent of use the town hall
has in every large building
project. The conservatives
denied this figure.
The PSOE calls it anarchy, but the PP insists that
everything is perfectly under control.
Sierra Helada collapsing
under loads of rubbish
Despite the fact that the
Sierra Helada is now in a
natural park, the slopes of
the former quarry are suffocating from the mountains of rubbish that were
illegally dumped and the
steadily increasing amount
of exhaust fumes from the
illegal burning of the rubbish.
The association for the defence of the Sierra Helada
has filed several complaints
in the town hall claiming
that the state of the natural park is deteriorating
rapidly. They say that the
ecological situation on the
slopes is unstable, since the
rubbish that was deposited
there in previous years is
now coming to the surface
and the fumes are endangering the natural habitat
of indigenous plants and
animals.
Together with the complaints detailed information on the environmental
pollution and damage was
filed. It includes an analysis of the emitted gases,
the bad effect of poisonous
liquids on the ground water
and a description of the il-
ILLEGAL DUMP: abused natural park
legal activity in the dump.
However, neither the town
hall nor the director of the
natural park have taken
any action.
The natural park is not
signposted. There are no
signs indicating walking
routes or describing which
activities are permitted and
which areas can be used for
guided tours. Due to the
lack of signs, quads and
motocross bikes roam the
terrain freely and destroy
or damage much of the natural habitat.
The only existing sign
“dump for inert material”,
however should have disappeared with the closure of
the dump.

New election hopefuls
Electoral campaign is
centred in outlying districts
Esperanza Blanc
The municipal elections are
bringing new candidates for
the city council and a tight
election campaign to Elche.
Of the three political parties
currently represented on the
council, only Esquerra Unida (United Left) has the same
candidate heading its list.
Although, this time Àngels
Candela is leading Compromís per Elx (Commitment
to Elche), a coalition group
which also includes the Bloc
Nacionalist Valencià (Valencia Nationalist Bloc) and Els
Verds (The Greens). On the
Socialist Party (PSOE) list,
Alejandro Soler takes over
as mayoral candidate from
Diego Macià and offers a list
featuring new faces in one
third of the spots. Mercedes
Alonso heads a Partido
Popular (PP) list in which,
apart from herself, only current spokesperson Emigdio
Tormo is a holdover.
The emergence of the
Agrupación Popular (People’s Group) headed by ex-PP
president Manuel Ortuño,
stands out among the new
candidacies. The candidacy,
formed by PP members, has
particular influence in the
outlying districts.
Another new entry is
the Partido de Elche (Elche
Party), a local group led by
lawyer Jesús Ruiz Pareja. It
is also the first time at the
polls in Elche for Esquerra
Republicana del País Valencià (Republican Left of the
Valencian Region) with Josep Amílcar Albert heading
the list. MUP and Partido
Humanista (Humanist Party) are back from 2003 with
lists led by Sergio Sanchiz
and Raquel Martínez, respectively. And the Partido
Comunista de los Pueblos
de España (Peoples of Spain
Communist Party) reappears. Other newcomers
this election are the PSD of
Francisco Antón, and Pablo
Beneito as the Coalición
Valenciana (Valencia Coalition) candidate.
The battle for votes in
the outlying districts has
also distinguished the electoral campaign. 37,525 of

headquarters. The façade
of the Ateneu Popular, site
of the MUP-Republicanos
in Elche and other groups,
was defaced with Nazi swastikas and graffiti accusing
them of xenophobia against
South Americans one morning.
It is not the first time
MUP-R denounced acts of
vandalism like that. According to them, “this shows the
same old fascists are still
running around loose and
obstructing those who defend the idea of a popular,
democratic and federal Republic”. Another tense moment in the local campaign
The International Fair of
Leather and Footwear materials, Futurmoda, took
place this week at the Alicante Trade Fair Institute.
The fair is known for fashion and introducing the
trends for spring-summer
2008. A trend forum area

as another area featuring
close to 200 models created
by designers. During the
three days of Futurmoda,
visitors were also able to admire the second edition of
“GeconeÑe,” with two presentations daily of the latest
fashion trends in textiles,
footwear and components.
Valencia designer Francis

industry is very healthy,
and footwear is not possible
without them. The need for
joining forces in initiatives
such as this is quite clear.”

Torrevieja man beats
daughter to death
Alicia Negre
Torrevieja returned to the
national headlines last
week due to another unpleasant incident. Francisco
Javier Cervera de Marcos,
a 32-year-old native of the
town, was arrested on charges of killing his 15-monthold baby girl by beating her
to death.
The sad affair started on
15 May. The man, accompanied by his 20-year-old Rumanian wife, Ionela B. and
his daughter, went to Madrid to enjoy the capital’s
main festival, San Isidro.
They stayed in a hotel on
the well-known Plaza de
España, which became the
scene of the evil deed.
The local Madrid police
came to the hotel in response to an emergency call
about an accident involving
a baby. On reaching the
scene, the officers and the
coroner saw that the corpse
of the little girl showed evidence of having suffered a
strong impact to the head.
The father of the victim
declared there had been an
accident. By his account,
the parents had given the
girl a bottle and then a bath.
When they were going to
take her out of the bathtub,
the little girl slipped, receiving a strong blow to the pit
of the stomach.
According to the father,
the little girl began to have
trouble breathing and was
throwing up, and then sto-
pped breathing. Francisco
Javier Cervera de Marco
maintained that he went
down to the reception desk
straightaway after that and
asked for help.
After the emergency call,
the Samur paramedics and
Civil Protection agents
arrived on the scene and
found the dead body of the
little girl. Even at the first
glance, the coroner could
tell that something was
fishy and discarded from
the outset the notion of an
accidental death caused by
a blow to the head, as the
father claimed. Nonetheless, it was a question of
waiting to the next day for
the autopsy report to determine they were dealing
with a violent death. The
Predictable Crime
Francisco Javier Cervera was no saint. His criminal record
included over a dozen prior arrests for robberies, selling
drugs and domestic abuse. That abuse case, in the year
2000, involved his own mother, who was blind. The little girl
had also previously suffered from the violence of her father,
who had already broken her leg on one occasion. At the
time, the father alleged the girl had fallen. In his last statement, however, he recognized the injury was due to abuse
of the child that had become habitual.
parents were immediately
taken into custody.
Once he was behind bars,
Francisco Javier Cervera de
Marcos did not stick to his
lie for very long and incriminated himself as the one
responsible for the death of
his daughter. In his second
statement, he acknowled-
ged having killed the little
girl by hitting her even as
the mother tried unsuccessfully to stop him. When the
brutal beating was over, the
girl lay stretched out on the
floor without moving. The
mother, who was released,
put her in the bathtub in a
vain attempt to revive her.
La Murada up in
arms against waste
plant location
The location of the regional waste plant, as reported
over the last few weeks in
this publication, continues
to be a hot topic of conversation. Now the “Asojoven”
neighbourhood association,
based in the outlying La
Murada distinct of Orihuela, gets to take its turn. This
community has already
been affected by another
dump located there, the
same facility, coincidentally, that Asojoven has been
condemning and working
to close for some time. In
addition to having caused
a variety of problems, the
location of a dump in their
community has made the
people there especially sensitive to the issue.
La Murada has categorica-
lly rejected the idea of accepting another facility of
this kind and magnitude.
Friday night, May 18, Asojoven called a meeting of all
residents of La Murada and
neighbouring Albatera to
evaluate the possibility that
this plant might be located
between the two communities, specifically in the Rambla Salada as stated in some
companies proposals. This
time, given their mutual interests and common border,
the residents of Albatera
have joined forces with La
Murada in joint protest.
After the meeting, the Asojoven collective announced
it will not hesitate to resort
to legal measures unless the
final decision is in favour of
their community.

Zapatero hits Orihuela
on the campaign trail
Alicia Negre and
Dixon
Approaching municipal and
regional elections always
cause a great stir and a surge of activity among the
principal political parties.
The last few weeks have
witnessed how national
opposition leader Mariano
Rajoy as well as Government prime minister José
Luis Rodríguez Zapatero,
have undertaken exhausting tours of major cities in
Spain independently of one
another.
The prime minister has
not forgotten the Vega Baja
in his travels and visited
Orihuela, the capital of the
region last Thursday 17th
May. The Partido Popular
(PP) has governed this traditionally conservative city
for years, with Zapatero’s
own Socialist Party (PSOE)
in opposition. Prior to the
rally in Alicante on Friday
night, Zapatero found a
space in his busy agenda to
stroll around the streets of
Orihuela.
Zapatero was accompa-
nied on his visit and at the
subsequent rally by the
Socialist Party candidate
to lead the Regional Government, Joan Ignasi Pla,
the Secretary of State for
International Cooperation
and member of the PSOE
Federal Executive Committee, Leire Pajín, the party
candidate for mayor of Orihuela, Antonia Moreno, and
other socialist leaders.
The key point of the visit was a stop at the Casa
Museo Miguel Hernández,
where Zapatero was able to
share a few moments with
some relatives of the wellknown Spanish poet. The
prime minister chose that
spot to make an important
announcement. Apparently,
there will be a celebration
in 2010 commemorating on
a national level the 100th
anniversary of the birth
of Miguel Hernández, poet
and native son of Orihuela.
The entourage also went
by the Cathedral, the Segura riverbed, the site where
the demolished Palacio
Ruiz de Vilafranca was located, and the Fernando de
Loaces State Library before

winding up the brief stroll
in the aforementioned museum.
The prime minister was
then able to get a first-hand
look at some of the actions his government has put
in motion whilst here on
the visit. “Zapatero always
comes through” was the
slogan one of the banners
sported, referring to the
commitments carried out
by the president.
Placards, banners and
multitudes of people came
together in Orihuela to
welcome the leader of the
current government.
In the course of his electioneering stroll, Zapatero
greeted hundreds of people
who were anxiously awaiting him from 5pm that
afternoons, mostly in the
area right around the Santo

the breath away from all the
residents.
It happened on Friday night
on a plot of land near town,
after the tractor the youngster was driving overturned.
The events took place around
10pm, when the deceased
and one of his friends, who
came out of the accident unhurt, were driving a tractor
apparently belonging to a
relative of one of the boys.
It is believed the two friends
could have been playing
around with the vehicle and
possibly making dangerous
manoeuvres or turns. Circular tracks found in the soil on
the plot support this hypothesis, although the exact circumstances of the accident
are still unclear. The tractor
somehow overturned and
the youth was trapped under one of the wheels. The
unbearable weight caused
his immediate death.
When the emergency medical service and three units
from the Orihuela Fire Department arrived after a call
for help, it was only possible to confirm the death of
the youth and remove his
corpse. The youth was buried last Sunday, amidst the
consternation and pain of
the entire town.
Last Thursday, various
security forces began the
arduous task of searching
for an alligator that could
be running loose in Crevillente.
Units of the Nature Protection Service (Seprona) of
the Guardia Civil and members of the local police were
on alert after receiving a
call from a resident who declared she had encountered
the reptile inside their own
building in the Cachapet
residential estate that very
day. The witness, the only
one who has seen the alliga-
tor, indicates it could measure around one-and-a-half
metres in length.
The witness explained that
she was peacefully going
about her business inside
her home when she heard
her dog barking furiously
and went outside to find out
why it was so upset. Imagine
her surprise when a reptile
of that size appeared before
her eyes, although at first
she didn’t clearly identify it
as an alligator. She ran off
to rescue her children who
were fortunately not hurt
even though they were play-
VOTE
ing in the area.
The search effort intensified over the weekend. The
most closely watched spots
were those where water can
be stored, such as pools,
fountains, and tanks. That
kind of habitat usually is
the most appealing for this
animal.
The news spread throughout Crevillente in a flash
and the community immediately went into a state of
alert. The residents have
decided to take their own
precautionary measures if
the alligator appears again.

PP Orihuela presents
its election candidates
Alicia Negre
With municipal election
just a week away, the Partido Popular (PP) of Orihuela
presented its election programme and list of candidates headed by mayoral
candidate Mónica Lorente
before more than 3,000 supporters on Saturday night
March 20.
This large-scale event
took place in the car parks
of the Ociopía Commercial Centre next to the city
of Orihuela, where some
stands were installed and
the election programme was
handed out to all those in
attendance. The mayors of
various communities of the
Vega Baja del Segura took
part in the event, supporting the list of candidates of
the Partido Popular of Orihuela, who were applauded
by thousands of people who
showed up for the event.
Mayoral candidate Mónica Lorente especially acknowledged the hard work
of her team who “have been
carrying out an intense
effort to promote the party,
going all over the outlying
districts and corners of the
city and assembling an election programme with 1,700
proposals” over the past
two years.
Lorente reviewed some of
the most prominent aspects
of the election programme
before those present. These
include questions as specific as creating the underground network of railway
lines in Orihuela demanded by various parties in
the city or creating the post
of Councillor of Equality
up to going over the details
of proposals for each outlying district of Orihuela,
the city and coastal area.
The PP candidate reminded
people that although many
parties were running in
these elections in Orihuela,
“only the Partido Popular
offers a serious programme
and sufficient guarantees
of their ability to move
forward with the full array
of proposed measures.”
Lorente cited the investments and most important accomplishments carried out in Orihuela over
the past few years in her
MÓNICA LORENTE: Time to put it to the voters of Orihuela
address. In breaking down
her election programme,
Lorente detailed facets that
range from increasing the
Local Police force by sixty
new officers over the next
four years and building a
new Health Centre in the
Rabaloche area to improve-
ments in the infrastructure
in outlying districts, the
city and coastal area and
developing programmes to
optimise municipal management.
The act was opened by
the Orihuela regional candidate Andrés Ballester,
who emphasised the massive turn-out for the event.
In his address, Ballester did
not miss the chance to criticize the visit to Orihuela
by Zapatero, of whom he
declared: “What nerve, to
come to the Vega Baja and
not bring a thing.”
Spectacular spill drill in Pilar de la Horadada
Last weekend a diver found
something very different
from what might be expected beneath the waters
off Los Jesuitas beach in
the Torre de la Horadada
district of Pilar de la Horadada. The individual felt
obliged to advise the local

what could be a bundle of
hashish 150 metres from the
coastline. The agents verified the contents and transferred the merchandise to
Guardia Civil headquarters
in Torre de la Horadada for
safekeeping.

Better safe than sorry. Or at

Pau
The gentle giant
NBA star Pau Gasol Memphis
Grizzley captured in Jávea
By Paloma Casco Del Rey
I
was rather nervous at
the prospect of meeting such a huge star.
Not only is he internationally renowned,
not forgetting to mention
adored by millions in the
same instance. That is a
daunting thought. Nor
did I wish to appear as
one of those pushy journalists in hot pursuit to
harass a super-star, since
that is not the manner
in which I function, not
merely for my own conscience, yet moreover,
could you imagine people
screaming for your attention, morning, noon and
night? It must be exhausting. I suspect that during
his professional career,
he has been subjected to
bombardments of many
journalists’
questions,
flashing bulbs and in general, perhaps more to the
point; he leads a demanding lifestyle. But, hey, that
is the price of greatness
and not many people in
this world have achieved
nor touched the plethora
of vocational bows that
Pau proudly adorns. Pau
struck me as a very reserved and private gentleman, a caballero, with
strong convictions in
himself yet far from arrogant in the least. Being a
sporting hero for children
and adults alike is pressure in itself, I believe.
The pressure of preserving his image, let alone
conveying the correct
image, however, in this
department, Pau does
not even have to try. His
laid back demeanour is
refreshing and I believe it
comes from his roots, his
sense of family, his traditions, his education, personal and vocational. He
is, in essence, very much
himself. Much to my surprise, Pau had a perfect
American accent, which
actually blew me away
as I had previously assumed we would conduct
the interview in Spanish.
As a matter of fact, I began speaking with him
in Spanish to which Pau
queried, “Do you want to
do the interview in Span-
ish or English” to which
I responded, “I do not
mind,” as I shuffled anxiously in my seat. “Okay,”
I responded, “let’s do it
in English.” I was curious to hear him speak in
English too. I suppose it
was in question of his accent. I have Spanish parents myself, who lived in
England for over 40 years,
yet they never managed
to shake their heavy accents whatsoever. Pau’s
pronunciation was a perfectly well-rounded American, southern-ish tongue.
Most intriguing, I felt.
The interview took place
in the middle of Pau filming a set of commercials,
due to be aired this summer on various television
channels across Spain.
His seat was tucked at the
far end on the cusp of the
beach in Jávea, behind the
busy set erected in the restaurant Montgodi Bongo,
near the port. The scenery was that of a beach
bar in daytime, although it
was filmed at night, albeit
with all the lighting in the
vicinity, one could catch a
tan. Amongst Pau, sat his
most protective guard and
agent, along with a team
of creative directors, the
producer, the film director including the remainder of the marketing team
and possibly the make-up

What brings you back to Spain?
What shoe size are you?
European shoe size 51 and a half.
Well, the basketball season is over and so I am taking a
vacation. Plus I am also helping to promote the Costa
Blanca area.
How tall are you?
I am 7 ft 1 inches.
Can you tell me what the campaign is specifically
about?
Are your brothers as tall as you?
It is a multi-media campaign publicising the Costa
Blanca, which will run throughout the summer. At
the moment, we are shooting commercials that will be
shown on most of the television channels.
Yes, we are all tall, but my younger brother is only 13,
so he’s not quite there yet.
What are the cultural differences compared to
Spain and the United States?
Who is organising this marketing campaign and
who is it aimed at?
Yes, there are many differences, such as values, customs, education, the manner in which they carry out
business, food is very different, view points are different also.
The campaign is organised and funded by the Patronato Turismo for the province of Alicante and their
goal is to promote the Costa Blanca towards tourists.
The commercials that we are shooting here and now
are produced by Kaplan and driven by Meta Image,
represented by Daniel Eisen; he’s the creative Director involved in all the marketing.
Are the Spanish well-received in the U.S?
I think we are. There is a huge Latin community, although we are not seen as Latins, more so Europeans,
though we have a lot in common.
What is the name of the director shooting the
commercials?
What other sports do you enjoy playing?
Quique Maillo and the producer is Pablo Pérez Paya.
I like to play tennis, ping-pong and a bit of golf when
I have the time.
How long have you played for the Memphis Grizzlies?
Do you have a sporting hero, someone who you
admire?
For six years.
Michael Jordan.
I understand that one of your dreams is to complete your studies in medicine, do you see this occurring in the foreseeable future?
Would you consider coaching basketball in the future?
Probably not. I think I am too old for that now. I’m
almost 27 and it takes years to complete. I prefer now
to dedicate my time to my family, that is more important.
I don’t know. But you never know. Perhaps in ten to
fifteen years? You never know what the future might
hold.
Do you find it difficult buying shoes and where do
you buy them?
How much time do you spend in the U.S?
Eight months a year. I am there for the whole basketball season.
Nike are my sponsors, so they supply my shoe collection.

girl. Most of the actors
in these commercials,
both male and female,
wore false beards, a trademark of Pau’s. Therefore,
I suspected that these
commercials entail some
comical tones. Hooray
for humour! I realised
that my time here would
have to be brief, as the
busy film set was bustling
and Pau would be called
at a moment’s notice. I
ran through a series of
questions as quickly and
as politely as possible, I
was apprehensive; I did
not want to appear rude
or aggressive at the speed
of my questions. Well, I
wanted to up the gears
dramatically, but it was
easy to become distracted
in the middle of the set.
Nor did I want to miss
anything myself. There
was a great deal to digest,
not only from Pau himself, the questions, the
answers, the filming, the
people on set, but more to
the core, the man himself.
They say the eyes are the
porthole to the soul; and
I was interpreting this
whilst scurrying my pen
to paper. This could give
me a closer inspection and
view of the man I wished
to write about, a personal
thought and feeling. A
connection with whomever a journalist interviews
is crucial. Without this,
there is no interview. After an array of successive
questions and queries
into Pau’s life and career,
even down to his foot size,
he was called on to the set
to do his bit for the Costa
Blanca. He waved, “I’ll
speak to you later.” Then
he was gone.

Eat spinach to fight ageing
It’s all very well if you have
the money, but eating a hea
lthy, balanced
diet can have just as good an
effect on delaying the signs
of ageing as
do expensive creams and pot
ions, state experts. Spinach,
for example,
is packed with vitamins and
nutrients that do wonders
for our face, as
does a diet rich in essential
fatty acids found in food suc
h as avocadoes,
seeds and salmon.You’ll also
find that cutting down on rich
and fatty
food (for example biscuits or
chips), can take years off.

Loren to do
striptease for
Naples FC
Forget Burlesque stripper Dita Von Teese. Italian
screen siren Sofia Loren has promised to do a
striptease in her native Naples if the city’s football
team gets into the 1st division, a feat they haven’t
achieved for years. The actress, 72, who during
the 50s and 60s embodied the essence of Italian
beauty, is a huge fan of Napoli FC.Yet since winning the league championship twenty years ago
with the help of Diego Maradona, the FC has
slipped into the 2nd division. Hopefully Loren will
boost their chances of success.
I’m 35 and I’ve got large
pores on my T-zone area.
What can I do about it?
S, Benidorm
Dear S.You didn’t tell me how
often you’re cleansing your face.
You should be cleansing morning
and night with an anti-bacterial
foaming cleanser, such as Nivea
Visage Mild Foaming Wash, followed by a non-astringent facial
toner to remove excess oils.
Although you’ve got an oily T-zone,
you need to moisturise all your
face to hydrate the skin – don’t
worry, it won’t give you spots or
make skin oilier. One of the common misconceptions of women
with oily skin is that they will age
slower, but this is untrue. Oily skin
needs just as much moisturiser as
drier skins. We recommend using a
light, oil-free moisturising gel, such as
L’Oreal’s Hydrafresh, available from
selected retailers in Spain.

Perfect Pins
Summer is on its way and that means loads more exposure for our bodies. As well as feet, legs tend to be one of
the most neglected areas of our bodies during the winter
months, so take these top tips on board to achieve a pair
of perfect pins
Hair removal
Apart from electrolysis (which
is not really recommended for
the legs) waxing is the only
sure-fire way to free your legs
of unsightly stubble for more
than a few days, but it’s best
to go to a salon to get it done
professionally, unless you
want to end up with lots of
sticky mess in your bathroom
and over your towels.
Alternatively, if you prefer to go down the razor
route, choose something like
Schick’s Intuition, which simplifies shaving by smoothing
and soothing your skin in one
easy go. There is no need for
shave gel, soap or body wash
and a separate razor, as the Intuition combines a triple blade
razor with a skin conditioning
stick that lathers your skin
right before it is cut. Priced
around 8.50 euros, which includes one refill.
Exfoliation
Once your legs are free of
hair, it’s time for exfoliation.
Exfoliating our bodies regularly is essential to boost
circulation, slough off dead
skin cells, breakdown stubborn cellulite and tone the
body. We love Mercadona’s
bath mitt (guante de crin), or
this toning scrub soap from
The Body Shop, which works
in the same way as a regular
cellulite exfoliating massager,
yet deep cleanses at the same
time. Regular use helps to
break down toxins in the skin,
reducing the build-up of fatty
deposits that create uneven
skin texture. Use before the
shower on dry skin and always
brush towards the heart. Remember, any initial discomfort
will soon disappear, and if you
have thread veins, try not to
be too aggressive on the skin.
Hydration
Hot water can dry your skin,
as can the sun, wind, and frequent bathing. For this reason,
moisturising daily will help
keep legs in tip-top condition. Slap on loads of body
oil while your skin is still wet,
and follow by patting yourself dry with a towel. We love
Deliplus gel corporal with
aloe vera, (1.99 euros Mercadona own brand). It’s hydrating, it smells gorgeous, and at
the price, you really can’t go
wrong. Alternatively, The Body
Shop’s best-selling cocoa butter body cream (15 euros) is
a wonderfully rich moisturiser
and will leave your skin feeling silky smooth. Again, try to
apply whilst your skin is still
damp straight after a shower.
Cellulite-busting
We’ve all suffered from cellulite at some time or another,
and although hard to shift,
there are a number of things
you can do to help break
down the fatty deposits near
the surface of the skin. Hydromassage, that’s using a Jacuzzi
to you and me, is brilliant for
stimulating the circulatory
system. Add essential oils or
baths salts if you wish but never stay in a jacuzzi for more
than 15 minutes. Alternatively,
swimming and aqua workouts
are a great way to tone muscles as well as stimulate metabolism and combat cellulite.
Choose between aqua-jogging
(strengthens arms and legs),
aqua-aerobics (best for loosing weight as it helps break
down fat), or watsu, therapeutic movements that stretch
muscles, relax joints and give
a great feeling of relax.
Circulatory disorders
If you do suffer from heavy
legs, thread or varicose veins,
you need to help the circulation in your legs. Start your
day by placing your feet in a
tub of cold water and then
showering your calves and
thighs with cold water. This
really does improve circulation.
Horse chestnut has been
used for years by herbalists
on patients with bad leg vein
circulation. The tree is known
for its therapeutic properties,
in particular, its high content
of Vitamin P. We know that
vitamin P has a number of
effects: it increases the
resistance of the
it
capillaries,
diminishes
their
per-
meability and has anti-inflammatory properties. Other
people swear by the herbs
hamamelis and bilberry, both
known for their excellent circulatory properties. All these
herbal products are widely
available from good pharmacies in Spain. Look out for the
red ‘Arkocapsulas’ products.
Faking it
Don’t even think of using a
sunbed! You’ll be irreversibly
damaging your skin. Fake tan
is the way to go these days
- think Victoria Beckham, Cat
Deeley - all self-tanning advocates who have beautifully
sun-kissed skin all year round.
One of the best products on
the market is Radiance Plus
from Clarins. The
colour is
nat-
ural, it doesn’t smell and the
texture is great. It’s actually a
night-time moisturiser combined with a self-tanning ingredient, and as you use it every
night, your skin will build up
in colour intensity. Your sensitive skin may be allergic to
all tanning products, as the
ingredient present in self-tanning products is in all of them,
but Radiance Plus seems to
be the most successful of all
on the market. Alternatively,
use a cheaper product such
as Nivea or Johnson and Johnson for a beautifully-sunkissed
looking skin.

A
Feeling angry is a universal human phenomenon. It is as basic as feeling hungry, lonely or tired.
The capacity to feel angry
and to respond in some way
to that feeling is in us from
birth. When adult anger is
expressed in healthy ways
it involves no blame or criticism, it gives focus, strength
and clarity to expression
and is a healthy expression
of love. It provides a firm
and powerful feeling needed
to create an experience of
safety and comfort within.
The things that make us
angry and the ways we feel
and the things we do when
we are angry are not the
same for all of us.
When anger is expressed
in a childlike manner it
provides no safety but simply causes more problems.
Childlike anger blames and
accuses, and takes no responsibility. Mature anger
is an expression of personal
power and takes total responsibility. Feeling rageful
could be called “the nasty
cousin of anger.” Rage is a
mixture of unresolved pain,
fear and anger. Rage causes
problems when it is left inside and if is expressed at
the wrong time, such as at
work, it can cause problems
not only to the person but to
other people too. Rage could
be seen as an ‘emotional illness’ which can lead to serious depression, abusive behaviour and even suicidal
and homicidal tendencies.
A
It should not be ignored.
There may be many reasons
why you respond to situations with anger. People who
have rage usually have been
hurt badly in their childhood. If this is the case it
is important to gain understanding of how feelings
from the past can influence
your current emotional life.
Children need to love and
be loved and if this does not
happen, they get hurt, fearful and develop defences
around the pain of feeling
worthless, unlovable or not
feeling okay. Anger is a way
of responding to the fear
and pain underneath.
If your parents suppressed
their own anger and they
gave a powerful message
to ‘stay in control’ you will
have had to disguise your
angry feelings and substitute them for sad or scared
feelings. However, anger
does not go away but rather
it is buried. It’s only a matter of time before it shows
up in violent rage, a major
illness, depression or suicide. Or perhaps your parents always responded to
stress by being angry and
you may have copied this
behaviour.
Perhaps you
have been a victim in some
way, through being bullied
at school, being abused
sexually, physically or emotionally. This can lead to a
deep feeling of shame and
worthlessness.
We all have an internal
dialogue with ourself and
if we are self-critical and
continually having negative thoughts we are likely
to respond to other people
in a similar negative and
angry way.

A very large study
done in Scotland several years ago noted how
poor asthmatics were at realising their true potential
for health.
Asthma occurs when the
lungs react to an irritant
with the bronchial tubes going into spasm. The lining
of the tubes then start to
swell and weep, much like
the lining of our nostrils
with a head cold. These two
factors block the tubes preventing free air flow.
There are many presentations of asthma that go unnoticed and explained away
without the diagnosis being made: general ‘chestiness’, easy breathlessness,
colds that always end on
the chest, laughter ending
in coughing, aching chest
muscles, tiredness.
In children, coughing is
one of the commonest
symptoms, not wheezing as
many people think.
I mention these points, because even though you are
already aware of the diagnosis of asthma in yourself
and your son, I know many
asthmatics that are undertreated because they do not
recognise many of their
own symptoms as being
asthma.
Here are some measures
to take to improve asthma
control, and preserve your
lung function:
• Learn to use a peak flow
meter to measure the fluc-
tuations in your lung function. Many people with
asthma do not begin to recognise how low their function is until it is very poor.
They accept a much lower
standard of health because
they are unaware of what it
feels like to be truly well.
Using a peak flow meter
every day, taking the best of
three measurements (before
treatment if you use inhalers) will show you whether
or not your lung capacity is
steady at an acceptable level for your age, height and
gender. If you are getting
variations of more than
10% your asthma is not controlled.
• Learn to use your inhalers
correctly.
There are two basic types of
inhaler. The one to be used
first opens the tubes by relaxing the muscles in the
bronchial walls. The second
type reduces the inflammatory reaction of the tube
lining and so reduces the
swelling and production of
mucus that would further
block the airways.
These basic treatments can
be further refined by altering dosage, changing the
particular agents used, and
by the addition of other
drugs aimed at reducing
the over-sensitivity of the
lung reactions.
Apart from medical treatments there are many ways
to improve the situation.
• Avoid using sprays of any
type such as aerosols for
polishing furniture, or air
fresheners.
• ‘Damp dusting’ helps to
keep the dust on the cloth
and out of the air.
• Keep filters for air conditioners and vacuum cleaners and cars as clean as
possible.
• Reduce exposure to sudden temperature changes,
smoke and fumes.
• Exercise regularly to increase your lung capacity,
and practise breathing in
deeply whilst sticking your
tummy out, then let your
breath out slowly as your
tummy goes in. This encourages your diaphragm
to move more freely and
helps to increase air exchange and relaxes muscles
and tension.
It is also possible to help
asthmatics
considerably
with homeopathy, acupuncture, osteopathy, and relaxation techniques.

The eerie and deserted ghost town of Silent Hill draws a young mother desperate to find a cure for
her only child’s illness. Unable to accept the doctor’s diagnosis that her daughter should be permanently institutionalized for psychiatric care, Rose flees with her child, heading for the abandoned town
in search of answers--and ignoring the protests of her husband. It’s soon clear this place is unlike
anywhere she’s ever been. It’s smothered by fog, inhabited by a variety of strange beings and periodically overcome by a living ‘darkness’ that literally transforms everything it touches. As Rose searches
for her little girl, she begins to learn the history of the strange town and realizes that her daughter is
just a pawn in a larger game.

Tim Allen transforms from family dad to family dog and back again in this update of the
Disney comedy. It all begins when workaholic Deputy D.A. Dave Douglas (Allen) takes
on a case involving an animal laboratory
-- one that will take him away yet again from
his wife (Kristin Davis) and kids (Zena Grey
and Spencer Breslin), who already yearn
for his all-too-distracted attention. But when
Dave is accidentally infected with a topsecret, genetic-mutation serum, everything he
thought he knew about being himself and his
family changes. Yet with his newly perked-up
ears, and his front-row seat on the household
carpet, Dave is able to gain a whole new
perspective into his family’s secrets and
dreams. Now, he wants nothing more than
to stop fetching and return to fathering
-- only first he’ll have to stop the evil forces
behind the serum.
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. With a wing and a
prayer, Valiant and his fine feathered pals fly into
harm’s way and prove that it’s not the size of the
wingspan that counts, but the size of the spirit.

Sky Movies action/thriller
23.00 - 01.10
The daughter of respected matinee
idol Lawrence Harvey and modelturned-socialite Sophie Wynn,
Domino Harvey was born into a
life of wealth and privilege--a lifestyle that did not interest her. Even
from her earliest years, Domino
rebelled against convention and
the jet set. At the tender age of
eight, her beloved father passed
away and her mother looked to
the stability of boarding school
in a misguided attempt to tame
her wild child. But nothing could
repress Domino’s fiery nature--not
friendships, not school, not her
mother’s high society. Even the
extraordinary excesses paraded
before her during a brief stint
at modeling paled in comparison
to her own escapades. Not until
she stumbled upon a job seminar
recruiting aspiring bounty hunters
was her thirst for excitement at
long last quenched. To Sophie’s
horror, Domino not only fell in
love with the job but also with her
fellow adventurers, who over the
years would become her family.

Who wants to
be a millionaire
ITV
22.25 - 23.25
Thanks to this programme, Chris
Tarrant will forever be associated with
the phrases “Is that your final answer?”
and “Do you want to phone a friend?”.
It’s no surprise really, considering
millions of viewers have heard him utter
those immortal words during the show’s
eight-year run. Devised by Steven
Knight, David Briggs and Mike Whitehill,
nothing like this quiz — or indeed its
massive jackpot — had ever been seen
on UK television until it made its debut.
It seems simple on paper.
All you need to do to win the loot is
correctly answer 15 multiple-choice
questions. To help the contestant along
their way, there are three ‘lifelines’,
including 50/50, which sees two wrong
options stripped away, doubling the
chances of guessing the answer.
The lucky individual in the hotseat can
also choose to ask the audience for
help, or phone a friend. Surprisingly
though, only a handful of people have
scooped the top prize, which has
probably added to the lasting appeal
of the show.
Will this evening’s hopefuls fare any
better or will their nerves get the better
of them at the crucial moment? Tune
in to find out.

A drama that tells the story of the passengers and
crew, their families on the ground and the flight
controllers who watched in dawning horror as
United Airlines Flight 93 became the fourth hijacked plane on the day of the worst terrorist attacks
on American soil: September 11, 2001. ‘United
93’ recreates the doomed trip in actual time, from
takeoff to hijacking to the realization by those
onboard that their plane was part of a coordinated attack unfolding on the ground beneath
them. The film attempts to understand the
abject fear and courageous decisions of those
who--over the course of just 90 minutes--transformed from a random assembly of disconnected strangers into bonded allies who confronted
an unthinkable situation.

Beset by nightmares, Harry Potter is all too happy to escape his disturbing dreams
by attending the Quidditch World Cup. But something sinister ignites the skies at the
Quidditch campsite--the Dark Mark, the sign of the evil Lord Voldemort. It’s conjured by
his followers, the Death Eaters, who haven’t dared to appear in public since Voldemort
was last seen thirteen years ago--the night he murdered Harry’s parents. Harry longs
to get back inside the safe walls of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, where
Professor Dumbledore can protect him. But Dumbledore announces that Hogwarts will
host the Triwizard Tournament, one of the most exciting and dangerous of the wizarding community’s magical competitions. One champion will be selected from each of
the three most prestigious wizarding schools to compete in a series of life-threatening
tasks in pursuit of winning the coveted Triwizard Cup. Ministry of Magic official Barty
Crouch and Professor Dumbledore preside over a candlelit ceremony as the enchanted Goblet of Fire selects one student from each school to compete. Amidst a hail
of sparks and flames, the cup names Durmstrang’s Institute’s Quidditch superstar
Victor Krum, followed by Beauxbatons’ Academy exquisite Fleur Delacour and finally,
Hogwarts’ popular all-around golden boy Cedric Diggory. But then, inexplicably, the
Goblet spits out one final name: Harry Potter. Suspecting that whoever entered Harry’s
name wants to put him in grave danger, Dumbledore asks Alastor “Mad-Eye” Moody,
the eccentric new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, to keep his magical eye
trained on the teenage wizard. Events take an ominous turn when someone is murdered on Hogwarts grounds. As they edge closer to the Triwizard Cup, Harry soon finds
himself hurtling toward an encounter with true evil.

Tony is a smart seventeenyear-old. He undermines his
dad on a daily basis and effortlessly covers up for his little

Bring back Dallas
Channel 4 22.00 - 23.30
In 1978, a slick American soap opera called Dallas was launched on an
unsuspecting world. Its producers naturally hoped it would do well, but had no
idea it would become one of the most popular shows in TV history. The first
storylines revolved around young, rich Texan Bobby Ewing and his bride Pam.
She came from the rival Barnes clan and upset the status quo from episode
one. That Romeo and Juliet-style idea faded into the background when it
became clear oil baron JR Ewing was the real star of the show. Seasoned
film and TV veteran Larry Hagman relished his role as the womanising,
manipulative JR, while Man From Atlantis star Patrick Duffy and former model
Victoria Principal played the star-cross’d lovers. The rest of the cast, including
Miss Ellie (initially played by Vertigo’s Barbara Bel Geddes), Cliff Barnes (Ken
Kercheval), Lucy (Charlene Tilton) and JR’s boozy wife Sue Ellen (Linda Gray)
became household names, especially on this side of the pond, thanks to Terry
Wogan’s Radio 2 breakfast show.

Tim Allen transforms from family dad to family dog and back again in this update of the
Disney comedy. It all begins when workaholic Deputy D.A. Dave Douglas (Allen) takes
on a case involving an animal laboratory
-- one that will take him away yet again from
his wife (Kristin Davis) and kids (Zena Grey
and Spencer Breslin), who already yearn
for his all-too-distracted attention. But when
Dave is accidentally infected with a topsecret, genetic-mutation serum, everything he
thought he knew about being himself and his
family changes. Yet with his newly perked-up
ears, and his front-row seat on the household
carpet, Dave is able to gain a whole new
perspective into his family’s secrets and
dreams. Now, he wants nothing more than
to stop fetching and return to fathering -- only
first he’ll have to stop the evil forces behind
the serum.

Alex “Hitch” Hitchens is a legendary--and
deliberately anonymous--New York City
“date doctor” who, for a fee, has helped
countless men woo the women of their dreams. While coaching Albert, a meek accountant who is smitten with a glamorous celebrity, Allegra Cole, Hitch finally meets his
match in the person of the gorgeous, whipsmart Sara Melas, a gossip columnist who
follows Allegra’s every move. The ultimate
professional bachelor, Hitch suddenly finds
himself falling deliriously in love with Sarah,
a reporter whose biggest scoop could very
well be the unmasking of Manhattan’s most
famous date doctor.

Ricardo Tubbs is urbane and dead
smart. He lives with Bronx-born intel
analyst Trudy, as they work undercover transporting drug loads into South
Florida to identify a group responsible
for three murders. Sonny Crockett is
charismatic and flirtatious until-while
undercover working with the supplier
of the South Florida group-he gets
romantically entangled with Isabella,
the Chinese-Cuban wife of an arms
and drugs trafficker. The intensity of
this case pushes Crockett and Tubbs
out onto the edge where identity and
fabrication become blurred, where cop
and player become one-especially for
Crockett in his romance with Isabella
and for Tubbs in the provocation of an
assault on those he loves.

Sin City
Sky Movies Action/Thriller
23.00 - 01.10
Welcome to Sin City. This town beckons to
the tough, the corrupt, the brokenhearted,
Some call it dark. Some call it hard-boiled.
Then there are those who call it home.
Crooked cops. Sexy Dames. Desperate
vigilantes. Some are seeking revenge--others
lust after redemption. And then there are
those hoping for a little of both. A universe of
unlikely and reluctant heroes still trying to do
the right thing in a city that refuses to care.

This movie focuses on four residents and “stars” of
the Central Park Zoo in New York City who are also
best friends: a lion (Stiller), a zebra (Rock), a giraffe
(Schwimmer) and a pregnant hippo (Smith). When
one of them goes missing, the other three break out
of the zoo looking for him, and eventually all four are
captured and put in boxes to ship them back to the
continent their species are originally from: Africa.
An accident at sea, however, strands them on the
shore of Madagascar. Having had humans take care
of them their entire life, the four know nothing of
surviving in the wild, or that one of them, the lion, is
genetically predisposed to eat his three best friends.
Exploring their surroundings, the four friends soon
meet the Malagasy locals (a type of lemur given to
having loud “rave-like” dance parties) and their carnivorous enemies, the fousas. As the two sides try
to use these four new, strange (and large) friends to
their benefit, our heroes are also confronted with the
reality of their predestined roles in nature.

Chris Brander has it all--money, good looks and a flashy job as an LA music executive. But back in
high school in New Jersey in the 1990’s, Chris was shy, overweight and the butt of the cool crowd�s
jokes. The only bright spot in his life was his friendship with Jamie Palamino a super-popular
cheerleader. But Chris was harboring a secret--he was hopelessly in love with his best friend. On
the night of their high school graduation, Chris finally works up his courage and makes his feelings
known. In response, a surprised Jamie proceeds to give him the ‘Just Friends’ speech. Enraged
and humiliated, Chris declares himself no longer friends with Jamie and storms off. Ten years later,
Chris has reinvented himself as a smooth talking lady-killer, living large in Los Angeles. Chris’s
boss, KC, has just given him his most challenging job assignment yet--turning spoiled socialite,
diva and magazine pin-up girl Samantha James into a pop-singing sensation. The well-known fact
that Chris and Sam used to date, and that she still carries a torch for him, makes it all the more
hellish. En route, a plane malfunction causes them to make an unexpected pit-stop in New Jersey.
Chris� plans to only stay the night are detoured when he runs into Jamie working at the local bar.
Suddenly faced with the chance to undo the past and ‘seal the deal’ with the ‘just friends’ girl of his
dreams, Chris finds himself postponing Paris. This sets off a chain of events in which Chris tries to
woo Jamie, all the while distracting the suspicious Samantha.

Frank Martin is the best in the business. The ex-Special Forces operative hires himself out as a mercenary “transporter” who moves
goods--human or otherwise. Very simple, he delivers, no questions
asked. Frank has relocated from the French Mediterranean to Miami,
Florida, where as a favour to a friend, Frank is driving for the
wealthy Billings family. There’s very little that
can surprise The Transporter, but young
Jack Billings has done just that; Frank has
unexpectedly
bonded with
Jack, age 6,
who he drives to
and from school. But when Jack
is kidnapped, Frank must use his battle-tested
combat skills to retrieve the boy and thwart the
kidnappers’ master plan to release a virus that will kill anyone
with whom it comes in contact.

08.45 - 10.30 & 00.30 - 02.15
In the middle of a raging thunderstorm, a traveling circus accidentally leaves behind some
very precious cargo--a baby zebra. The gangly little foal is rescued by horse farmer Nolan
Walsh, who takes him home to his young daughter Channing. Once a champion thoroughbred trainer, Walsh has given up horse training for a quiet life with Channing on their modest
Kentucky farm. The little zebra, or “Stripes,” as Channing calls him, is soon introduced to the
farm’s misfit troupe of barnyard residents, led by a grumpy Shetland Pony named Tucker and
Franny, a wise old goat who keeps the family in line. The group is joined by Goose, a deranged big-city pelican who’s hiding out in the sticks until the heat dies down in Jersey. Bird-brained rooster Reggie keeps everyone alert with his crack-of-dawn crowing and general hysteria,
and the un-aptly named bloodhound Lightning keeps a lazy eye on goings-on at the farm--in
between naps. The Walsh farm borders the Dalrymple Estate, where highly skilled thoroughbreds train to compete for horse racing’s top honor, the ultra-prestigious Kentucky Open. From
the first moment Stripes lays eyes on the track, he’s hooked--he knows that if he could just get
the chance, he could leave all those other horses in the dust. What he doesn’t know is--he’s
not exactly a horse. But with characteristic zeal, he devotes himself to training for the big time,
with a little help from Tucker, who has coached a host of champion racehorses in the past.

21:00 - 22.00
It’s Phil’s last day in uniform and
he’s determined to see some
action on the streets, so Smithy
pairs him up with a reluctant
Leela. After the pair witness a
mugging, Phil finds fifteen thousand pounds in the victim’s bag.
When questioned, the man finally admits that he is being blackmailed and Phil organises an
undercover sting operation. Back
at Sun Hill, Martin Turnbull reports that he has been receiving
threatening phone calls - then
his sister is run off the road.

SKY MOVIES comedy
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. With a wing
and a prayer, Valiant and his fine feathered pals fly into harm’s way and prove
that it’s not the size of the wingspan that
counts, but the size of the spirit.

You have long defined
yourself as a staunch
survivalist, which has
included a substantial
measure of refusing to
change as an element of
your character. But now,
you are quickly approaching a point where it will
be possible to give up on
caring what other people

You’re on a quest for some
critical and perhaps very
long-buried inner secret.
If you would make friends

it much easier to get the
insight you are seeking.

All the distractions, people and events of your

Events in this week appear
as a recall on a romantic

demands a second look
before anything develops

Such things have a life of

on reality while you still
have a chance to make
decisions that don’t cause
major disruptions for others.

Your sensitivity is putting
certain limitations on
your freedom.
It’s all adding up to an

but only the value placed
on that action.
SCORPIO
Oct 24 – Nov 21
Try to sort out what you
want and what you need
right now, and please be

Part of what you need is
a more pronounced sense

Another is any hint at
all that you’re making
progress on what you
might call your deepest
healing need.

When was the last time you saw
Michelle Pfeiffer on screen in a recently released movie? The woman is still
unbelievably stunning, nor does she
appear to have been seduced by the
idea of plastic surgery or botox, which
is precisely what the film touched
upon. It opens with a sequence of
people who have gone under the
knife with disastrous effects. This is a
huge issue for Pfeiffer, who plays a 40year-old script writer, whose life just did
not go quite according to plan. She
ultimately falls for a 29-year-old man,
played by Paul Rudd.
Pfeiffer´s screen daughter is played by
Saoirse Ronan, whose first menstrual
cycle looms as does her first kiss. Tracy
Ullman makes a guest appearance
with an amusing comical interpretation of Mother Nature, whose constant meddling brings about some
intrigue. Pfeiffer´s secretary plies her
way through the film exerting her
sharpened nails and all round nastiness, causing the couple’s momentary
split. I enjoyed Jon Lovitz performance,
Pfeiffer’s screen ex-husband and father
of their only daughter. The joys of ageing not only affect women, but men
in the movie too, with Lovitz in every
other scene adorning a bandage for

his new chin or hair implants; insisting
that he looks no more than 32. The writer/director, Amy Heckling brilliantly yet
subtly provokes the queries of an adolescent teenager, on the cusp of her
sexual awakening, asking “When can
I have sex?” when she has just begun
her first menstrual cycle. Pfeiffer´s character duly informs her “You can have
sex when you are at university!”
The main plot being the question of
love and relationships between a
woman and a man eleven years her
junior, we conclude ‘what is good for
the goose is obviously good for the
gander.’

Book Review by author Ken Scott
The Historian
written by Elizabeth Kostova
Okay so The Historian is a vampire novel, but
don’t let that put you off. It’s quite incredible how the legend of the undead and
the mysterious tale of the man in the black
cloak with the peculiar carnivores can still
send a shiver up the spine. But he can and
he did in this book.
Elizabeth Kostova’s debut novel just about
combines the right mix of research, historical facts and buckets of blood to keep the
reader enthralled right through this long but
captivating tale (700 pages) and at times,
you look up from the pages of this novel and
wonder, just wonder, if it could all be true.
(Even the biggest sceptics among you.)
A Father and his daughter search for Dracula’s resting place, travelling through France
and Bulgaria and of course Romania. Kostova demonstrates a unique grasp of the cultures of each country and the different periods and eras she propels the reader into.
Kostova has a skill that makes the reader
think and wonder exactly what is true and
what might be conjured up by the imagination of the author.
There is no doubt that Vlad the Impaler was
an actual historical being, a bloodthirsty individual with a taste for torture, but you begin to ask yourself just how much of Kostova’s yarn is based on fact, such is the quality
of her research.
This is her dexterity. Kostova makes you leap
up from your chair to check out the history
sites on the Internet or delve deeply into
Wikipedia. After a hundred pages I stopped
beginning to wonder, and instead immersed
myself in the novel hoping…. wanting… to
believe it all. And why not? Weaned as a
teenager on the Hammer House of Horrors
I wanted to see Christopher Lee and the
bats and crucifixes and cloves of garlic. I
was back to my youth hiding behind the
settee as the movie neared to its climax.
Escapism, that’s what it’s all about. Prepare
to neglect the important tasks to hand and
the household chores, in this well written
narrative. But… as you climb the stairs to the
bedroom at night make sure you check the
locks on the windows. And as you peer into
the pitch black of the night… was that a
restless swallow, or was it a bat?

Do shoes help or hinder your child’s foot?
Shoes were initially designed to protect
the feet against the elements and injury
and now, with modern technology and
manufacturing methods, to offer support
with different specialist shoes designed
for different purposes. However, this purpose is defeated if the shoes do not fit
properly through a lack of appropriate fitting facilities or if there is lack of understanding of the necessity for this facility
by both buyer and seller.
Research by the UK-based Society of
Chiropodists and Podiatrists has provided
results suggesting that due to the lack of
understanding for child foot health, there
is a huge potential for long-term foot and
postural problems.
FOOT & SHOE PROBLEMS
Evidence suggests that 91% of children
have problems with their feet or shoes
and that 89% of adults need some form
of foot care later in life. Research also
shows that only 6% of parents check their
child’s feet when they buy a new pair of
shoes, 23% do not check them at all and
23% only do so when the child complains
of a problem.
A study found that 83% of primary school
children aged 5 years are wearing shoes
that are too small. This means that parent’s footwear-buying habits are leaving
their children at risk of future foot problems. Feet may be damaged for a variety
of reasons that fall into five categories.
to compensate for it. Often heel cups and
special insoles provided by a podiatrist
(foot specialist) are needed for further stability and control when the shoe cannot
provide this.
INADEQUATE FOOTWEAR
This encapsulates many factors, mainly:
● An unsuitable toe shape where the
shoe is not foot-shaped
● A shallow toe area which can cause
rubbing and blisters on the toes
● A raised heel with a narrow base
(similar to a stiletto)
● A lack of shock absorption in the
heel and sole of shoe
● A lack of support around the heel
and instep of the foot
● Synthetic materials which may cause
athletes’ foot, verrucas, excessive
sweating which can lead to ingrown
toenails and smelly feet!
POORLY FITTED FOOTWEAR
5. Combination of factors
This appears to be an increasing issue
and may be because of the lack of specialist children’s retail outlets where a wide
range of sizes and fittings (including specialist fittings) are available. High street
chains and supermarkets are possibly to
blame as they are now encouraging DIY
measuring and fitting services. This also
applies to ‘off the peg’ shoes which are
bought when the child is not present.
Mass production footwear is cheaper but
may be of poor construction with fitting
for length largely a matter of guess work
and no range of width fittings available.
THE DEVELOPING FOOT
A COMBINATION OF FACTORS
1. The developing foot
2. Inadequate footwear
3. Poorly fitted footwear
4. Intrinsic risk factors
The child’s foot is not a small version of
the adult foot as it moves differently and
is structured differently. It is constantly
changing because of the developing skeleton with its constant changes to posture.
Therefore this can have an effect on how
the foot works and the correct type of shoe
for a particular developmental stage is
very important.
Very young children’s feet are very vulnerable as they are growing but remain
very ’soft’ compared to the adult foot. The
adult foot is structured from bone whereas a very young foot is made of varying
amounts of relatively soft cartilage; even
tight-fitting socks at this stage can cause
deformities and foot posture problems
later on.
INTRINSIC RISK FACTORS
This includes feet which are:
● Hypermobile (very mobile joints
beyond the accepted norm)
● Long and very slender feet in relation to the length
● Triangular shape - very narrow heel
in relation to the ball of the foot
These can cause biomechanical (movement/posture) problems as the foot
becomes inherently unstable, leading to
‘flat feet’. This type of foot not only
requires excellent fitting provision but
also a shoe that will control the posture
of the foot while the child is active so
that it is not compromised and will not
have an effect on the child’s general posture. In addition, if there is already a
general postural abnormality, this will
have a direct impact on the foot as it tries
Inadequate footwear can not only cause
ingrown toenails, verrucas and athletes’
foot, it can also result in secondary foot
deformities such a claw toes, hammer
toes, bunions with the prospect of corns
and excessively hard skin which then
require professional management in adult
life. Children rarely develop corns or
hard skin and this should not be an indicator for future problems. Children’s foot
problems appear as minor conditions such
as pressure marks, blisters and sores. It
must be remembered that issues causing
problems with the posture of the foot
affect the general posture and vice versa
with the risk of more serious problems
affecting the knees, hips and spine which
could result in Osteo-arthritis and surgery in adulthood. These problems can
be successively managed with Orthotics
and can often slow down progression of
arthritis.
PARTICULARLY PROBLEMATIC
SHOES
Pressure of fashion amongst teenagers in
particular undermines good foot health.
Unfortunately this now appears to be
moving into the much younger age groups
with very young children wearing shoes
usually worn by teenagers and adults.
There are two main issues: high heeled
shoes and very flat shoes. High heeled
shoes and very flat ‘dolly shoes’ provide
little protection to the sole of the foot and
often have little or no support.
Shoes can be immensely helpful in ensuring the child’s foot develops normally if
it is the correct type and fitting for the
child’s developmental stage.

Is there a difference between an

A
Firstly let us look at
what this condition is
about. Asthma is a chronic
(long-term) disease that
makes it hard to breathe.
At its worst, asthma can be
fatal. Asthma can’t be cured,
but it can be managed. With
proper treatment, people
with asthma can lead normal, active lives. If you
have asthma, your airways
(breathing passages) are
extra sensitive. When you
are around certain things,
your extra-sensitive airways
can become irritable, swol-
with no adverse effects. Up to 90% of
children with asthma have symptoms
when they exercise. It makes sense that
cigarette smoke, pollen and dust mites
could trigger asthma symptoms, but
why exercise?
len and filled with mucus
making normal breathing
difficult. Cold, dry air that
is inhaled into the lungs
during exercise is believed
to be the main cause of
exercise-induced asthma.
When someone exercises
or plays strenuously, he or
she tends to breathe quickly, shallowly, and through
the mouth. This means that
the air reaching the lungs
has missed the warming
and humidifying effects
that happen when breathing more slowly through
the nose. I feel that your
daughter benefits from
exercising in the warmer
air found here in comparison to northern areas
of Europe. To conclude I
must say that exercise is
beneficial to those that suffer from asthma as it helps
develop the breathing muscles. In fact the percentage
of top sportspeople with the
condition is quite high with

One for all and all for one
Enjoyed by all, the Jalón HELP
summer fayre proved popular as
both stall holders and visitors
raised money for charity. Early
birds arrived at 08.00hrs to set up
their stalls which ranged from arts
and crafts, home-made preserves, to
plants and bric-a-brac. The crowds
began arriving at 10.00hrs, digging
deep inside their pockets to purchase goods as well as playing on
the tómbola and children enjoyed
pony rides. The money raised from
Jalón festeras continue their
fundraising for the Mare de
Déu Pobra fiestas raising a
total of 219.15 euros on their
stall on Sunday May 20, at the
Jalón HELP charity summer
fayre. With three stalls piled
high with clothes, bric-a-brac
and furniture the day was full
of excitement. Having carried
out their first English event
at the Salamanca, serving up
traditional fish and chips, the
Spanish festeras proved a hit
amongst the English buyers,
with both the sellers and the
buyers practising alternative
languages. More fundraising
events are being planned, but

is played every Saturday and

more information on fundraising events coming up.
the HELP shop stall will contribute to their current fundraising
which has already brought a new
photocopier for the doctors. Café
Ole donated 10 cents from every
drink sold on the day and with

event well visited. The grand total
raised will be announced shortly.

DELTA BLUES
This recently formed duo is made up of Chloe Hooper on vocals and
Bernie Price on guitar and vocals. Both artistes have been playing on
the Costa Blanca for several years and are widely known. Bernie is a
natural blues player and plays some well constructed blues solos which
really stand out, whilst Chloe, who has been singing for the best part of
fifteen years, has a voice which is
well suited to blues and rock ‘n roll
music. Their performance is upbeat
and lively and they can certainly get the audience dancing with
songs like Blue suede shoes, Crazy little thing called love and Johnny be
good. They currently play fortnightly
on a Friday night at the Buda Bar in
Benitatxell.

What’s on & where to go
continued…
Cartagena y Mar Menor
will rock this summer
La Mar de Músicas festival goes Mexican
The upcoming 13th edition of the festival will see 23 days
dedicated to Mexico, this year’s guest country: a borderland that is a setting for mixtures, fusion and reinterpretations. From tequila-drenched rancheras and corridos
to pre-Columbian music spiced with techno. Mariachis,
boleros, experimental pop… without forgetting sonic
postcards from Spain, Africa and even Japan.
The festival includes more than 50 groups and artists
performing on six different stages distributed through-
out Cartagena between 6 and 28 July, and it will open
with the unique sounds of flamenco.
One of the festival’s key concerts involves an artist that
is often considered as Africa’s very best musician: Senegalese Youssou N’Dour. In addition to his famed popfolk, 47-year-old N’Dour returns to Cartagena to showcase themes from his new album. The concert is to take
place in the Parque Torres Auditorium at 23.00pm. It is
followed by a concert within Cartagena’s magnificent
Arabic castle, during which a unique Spanish-Mexican combination will be presented in the form of the
Agustín Lara Experience. An excellent night of music.
Continuing with the Mexican theme, two other names to
keep in mind (in addition to that of Eugenia León) when
attending La Mar de Músicas are: composer Agustín
Lara, whose work is to be treated to a techno remix, and
rocker Cecilia Toussaint, who is to tackle the boleros of
Consuelo Vázquez (author of Bésame mucho).
The concerts are to take place in five different locations:
the Parque Torres Auditorium, La Linterna in Parque
Torres, Parque de Artillería, the Plaza del Ayuntamiento and La plaza del Icue. Information and tickets: www.
lamardemusicas.com
George Benson, Paul Anka and Willy DeVille &
The Mink DeVille Band at the San Javier International Jazz Festival.
George Benson, Al Jarreau, Paul Anka, John Mayall
and Wynton Marsalis are just some of the acts on the
bill of the 10th San Javier International Jazz Festival, to
be held between June 29 and July 28. The Festival will
also play host to North American singers Ann Hampton
Calloway and Erin Boheme on their first visit to Spain.
Information and tickets: www.jazz.sanjavier.es
Nobel prize-winner García Márquez invited to
visit La Unión during August Flamenco festival
The organisers of the Las Minas International Flamenco Singing Festival have invited the writer to attend the
forthcoming 47th Festival in La Unión in August.
Ana Mercedes Hoyos, the artist responsible for the poster for this year’s Festival, is Columbian, and she has
convinced García Márquez of its event’s merits. “There
is a good chance that he will be in La Unión in August”,
announced the town’s Mayor, José Manuel Sanes, during a press conference in the Madrid restaurant Txistu.
The programme includes seven concerts, 20 artists and
4 evenings dedicated to the festival’s flamenco singing,
playing and dancing competitions. The main award,
known as La Lámpara Minera, is accompanied by a
€12,000 prize.
Information and tickets: Asensio Sáez Culture Centre. Telephones: 968 54 17 92 and 968 56 00 72. email:

involving regional companies in the public tender
contracts offered by such
organisations. The object
of the visit was providing first-hand information
about such developments in
order that they may be assimilated as good practices

The projects centred on the
optimum use of hydraulic

Immigrants want
full right to vote
Municipal
and Regional
elections to
be held on
Sunday
Daniel Vidal&Dixon
“If we pay our taxes, fill in
our tax returns and shop
in the same supermarkets
as the Spanish, then why
don’t we have the right to
vote and choose our own
representatives in the same
elections as the rest of this
country’s citizens?” These
are the words of Juan Carlos Lucero, President of the
Murcia Region Federation
of Immigrants Associations (FASIMUR), which is
dedicated to offering attention, support, information
and orientation to this sector of society. Having lived
as immigrants for various
years, the members of this
group do not understand
why, “if we comply with
the requirements demanded and imposed upon us by
the central administration,
we don’t have the right to
vote for our own representatives”.
FASIMUR’s
President
has made a call for politicians to be brave enough
to bring up the matter
of

year’s General Elections.
In Juan Carlos Lucero’s
opinion, “politicians talk
a great deal about equality among citizens. Award-

ing immigrants the right
to vote would lead to this
oft-quoted equality. The
introduction of this right
in time for next Sunday’s
municipal and regional
elections is not possible,
but that’s not true about
the general elections to be
held next year, and that’s
the reason for our request.
The only thing that I ask of
the politicians is that they
try to understand our situation in a little more detail,
given that there is no link
with this Region’s politicians that can be used to
get our problems heard. I
would ask them to create a
space in which we are able
to talk and to express our
concerns”, said Lucero.
This is a similar request to
that of the Murcia branch
of the Spanish Moroccan
Immigrant Workers Association (ATIME).
Mustapha Zine, the association’s president, above
all demands that his members be allowed to vote:
“our participation in the
social and economic life
of this Region is increasingly important and, for
that reason, I would ask the
winners of next Sunday’s
elections to give us the opportunity to vote in next
year’s elections”. Zine explained that, given this sector of society’s condition
as immigrants, they have
neither the right to vote in
their own countries nor the
right to vote in their country of residence, adding:
“if Spain benefits from out
active participation in the
country’s economy, then I
think that we also have the
right to choose our representatives, because that
would help us to get ahead

Survey forecasts landslide victory for PP
The PP will obtain a landslide victory in the Regional elections in Murcia, according to
a poll published yesterday by the newspaper El Mundo. The survey gives Ramón Luis
Valcárcel 58.8% of the votes, two points more than the results received four years ago.
This is the second opinion poll in 48 hours that points to an ample majority victory for
the PP in the Murcia Regional Elections. The first survey, which was published yesterday by the CIS (Centre for Sociological Investigation), gave the PP 57.2% of the vote,
33.1% to the PSOE and 6.2% to IU-Los Verdes. This result would lead to the PP occupying 28 seats in the Regional Assembly, followed by the PSOE with 16 and IU with 1, the
same distribution as four years ago. The poll carried out by El Mundo confirms the conclusion extracted from the CIS survey: a new absolute majority victory for the PP. The
results also offer some considerable differences compared to those of four years ago,
such as an increase in majority enjoyed by Valcárcel, who may see his party members
occupy up to 32 seats (3 more than at present), and a possible decrease in the support
obtained by Pedro Saura’s socialist candidacy.
conditions in this country,
which in some cases correspond to absolute poverty”.
The President of ATIME
finds it highly unfair that
immigrants living in many
European Union countries
are already allowed to vote,
whereas Spain has not even
started a debate on the situation. He went on to say
that within a democratic
system such as Spain’s,
“it is basic that all citizens
have the same rights”.
Mustapha Zine stated
that if he had the opportunity to talk with PP candidate Ramón Luis Valcárcel,
he would ask for, “more
equal rights and the end of
exploitation in the labour
market and the obstacles
encountered
by
immigrants when trying to regroup their families”.
According to Spanish
law, only Spanish and European Union citizens registered in the Electoral Roll
are allowed to vote, independently of whether they
live in Spain or abroad.

PP claim PSOE have
ruined Student Games
The PP says the PSOE are
“punishing thousands of
children.”
Marga Jiménez
“Over 3,000 school children
between 10 and 14 years old
were unable to take part in
the Student Games because
the Socialist Party (PSOE)
wanted it that way.” That
is the way Miguel Cascales,
Councillor for Sports of the
Murcia City Council, denounced the attitude shown
by the PSOE, the Spanish
progressive party, in opposing the celebration of a festive day in Plaza Belluga in
the heart of Murcia. 3,000
children and 150 teachers
from schools in city neighbourhoods and outlying
districts were going to get
together.
The socialists alleged
that the meeting would
have turned into a campaign act (which still had
not officially started), not
something

of all Murcia residents. The
event consisted of a march
supporting the candidacy
of Murcia as host of the
2013 Student Games, given
that many of the assembled
school children would be
university students by then
and thus able to participate
in the competitions. The day
was going to be made up of
sports activities and releasing balloons. Along with the
children, the presidents of
federations and elite figures
from Murcia in the various sports that will unfold
during the Student Games
- football, indoor football
(male and female), basketball, volleyball, swimming,
gymnastics, track, tennis,
table tennis, fencing and
judo – were expected to attend.
The head of Sports recalled that “we already suffered from the opposition
of PSOE members when
we presented our candidacy
for the 2011 event in Turin.
mail, with the PP accused
of possibly buying votes
in exchange for work and
food vouchers. The PSOE
suspects that something
strange is going on because
the PP, rather than asking
citizens to go to the polls to
on May 27, is asking them to
do so by mail instead, and
the PSOE wonders if it is
because the PP is thinking
of committing some kind
of voting irregularity.

lamented the cancellation
of the event “because it was
important to do it during
the current school year”
and has apologized to “the
children who were going to
participate, their teachers
and their parents.” “Before
being a Partido Popular
(PP) member, before being
a politician and councillor,
I am a Murcia native, and
I regret having to witness
the attitudes of people who
seem to take pleasure in the
problems of the citizens of
our city,” he added.
A total of 50,929 people have
already used the tram to get
around on Avenida Juan

last Wednesday. This shows
that Murcia residents have
welcomed this new means

and all because “the PSOE
is against a General Plan
that calls for building over
35,000 housing units for a
new population of 125,000.”
According to the socialists,
the PP in Fortuna has a
very short memory, because
it was the PSOE which carried out the process of
regularizing the status of
immigrants in this country,
awarding them rights and
duties to guarantee their
full integration. The PSOE
is not against development
but rather against the urban development madness
of the PP, beneficial for a
handful of promoters but
detrimental to the general
interests of the residents of
Fortuna,” declares the progressive party.
Excerpt from the PP letter:
“The elections will be held
on May 27 2007 and the
PSOE seems to be against
foreigners,
development
and economic promotion.
They want foreigners to go
back to their country. They
are not in favour of approving the General Plan for
Fortuna. There should have
been the possibility to vote
on this before the elections
but the opposition managed
to paralyse it. If you vote
for them, the Plan is going
to be rejected without any
doubt. If the PSOE governs
the town, chaos will rule future development. The Partido Popular is working to
make Fortuna better without losing its local charm....
Even though Fortuna historically leans towards the
PP, your vote is essential
to assure us a majority
and carry out all the plans
and projects. Your life is
in Spain now, you have the
possibility of voting, don’t
miss this chance to improve
your quality of life.”

Arrested for
assaulting
his wife
The Guardia Civil arrested
an English tourist in La
Manga on Saturday morning for assaulting his wife
during a discussion. Police
sources say the woman reported her 30-year-old husband for shaking and punching her. Officers from the
Cabo de Palos base arrested
the man, who appeared in
court accused of assault.
May 25 - May 31 2007
The Guardia Civil is to incorporate 217 new agents
this summer in a move to
improve security in the entire Region, and especially
in coastal areas, which experience a sharp increase
in their number of inhabitants due to the arrival of
thousand of tourists.
Thursday, 17th May saw the
incorporation of 185 Guardia Civil agents who are undergoing their training period, some 55 more than the
previous year. They will be
presented in the city of Murcia, in an act to be presided
by the Director-General of
the Police and the Guardia
Civil, Joan Mesquida.
The Government Delegate for the Region, Ángel
González, has stated, “we
are soon to see the incorporation of 185 agents who
are undergoing their training period, although the
130 agents that underwent
training during the last
year will leave the Region at
the end of the month. Thus,
once the basic instruction
period has terminated,
there will be 55 more Guardia Civil agents in training
than during the previous
year”.

The Delegate pointed out
that, “in addition to these
55 new members, the force
counts upon the presence
of 101 Guardia Civil officers distributed throughout
the Region, as well as 26 new
offices and 35 specialists, of
which 6 are to be dedicated
to matters related to children
and domestic violence”.
The force will also be
strengthened by the acquisition of 23 new vehicles for
Guardia Civil officers.
Focus
A patrol pertaining to the Local Police’s Citizen Safety
Brigade was recently responsible for the first important
operation against drug-dealers to be carried out within
the Murcia Region. The police officers confiscated four
tonnes of hashish that were found hidden in a van located on a plot used for storing construction material in
the Calarreona residential complex. From the exterior,
the officers observed a large number of bundles within
the vehicle. Faced with the find, they called for assistance from the Force’s other patrols which, once upon
the scene, closed the accesses to the area in an attempt to
locate the van’s occupants. Once having ascertained that
the bundles lying inside the van contained hashish, the
vehicle was towed to the local Police station. Following
a thorough search, it was found to contain 122 bundles
of hashish, weighing a total of approximately 4,000 kilos.
The Guardia Civil was informed of the situation and the
van was taken to their headquarters.

Saudi Arabian group to buy General Electric
The North American multi-national General Electric
has negotiated with the largest Saudi Arabian public
company the sale of its entire worldwide plastics business, including its plant
in Cartagena, for 11,000 million dollars (8,000 million
euros). The company that
has bought GE is the Saudi
Arabian multinational Sabic (Saudi Basic Industries
Corporation), a leader in
the production of chemical
products, fertilizers, plastics and metals, according
to information published in
the influential North American newspapers The New
York Times and The Wall
Street Journal. In January,
the same sources revealed that General Electric’s
plastics division was up for
sale. The giant North American company’s spokesperson declined to comment,
yesterday. The company’s
representatives in Spain
also declined to make any
comments,
considering
the news to be “market rumours”. General Electric’s
factory in Cartagena is the
firm’s most modern plant. It
is to maintain its rhythm of
growth with the construction of a new phase dedicated to the manufacture of
the Ultem, the most advanced plastic available on the
market. The construction
of the new installations is
expected to be completed
next year. GE’s plastics division employs some 11,000
people in twenty countries.
Mario Armero, who attended a meeting on 4th May
with Regional President
Ramón Luis Valcárcel and
Mayor Pilar Barreiro, explained that the sale, which
he described as definitive,
would be followed by work
on the transaction’s complicated contracts. From
the beginning, the auctioning of General Electric’s
plastics business attracted
the attention of a dozen
companies and investment
funds.
The final agreement between General Electric and
Sabic could affect North
American national security, added experienced sources yesterday.

The end of a naval icon?
Alex Elgar
An arson probe has begun
after a massive fire ripped
through one of London’s
top
tourist
attractions
– historic clipper ‘The Cutty
Sark’ – earlier this week, destroying at least 50 per cent
of the 139-year-old ship,
with experts uncertain if
the vessel was salvegable.
No one was hurt in the fire.
The alarm was sounded
at first light on Monday
morning, after smoke was
seen billowing from the
vessel, which is dry docked
in Greenwich. Firemen
cordoned off a large area
around the boat amid fears
that flammable material on
board could explode. Residents in surrounding buildings were evacuated and
moved to a nearby hotel.
Although the boat was
undergoing an extensive
£25 million restoration at
the time of the incident,
with 50 per cent of the boat
including its sails, masts
and engine room removed
for work, experts were undecided if it would be pos-
sible to save the clipper.
A spokesperson from the
fire brigade described how
all timbers had been burnt
in the blaze, and feared that
one of the most important
boats in British naval history would be lost forever.
Others were more positive,
arguing that the fire had
only caused superficial damage to the beams.
The Cutty Sark has witnessed storms, mutinies
and wars throughout its
colourful history, but this
latest incident is without a
doubt the most serious to
date. The ship, a true icon
of naval history and one of
London’s top tourist attractions, was built in Dumbarton (Scotland) ship yards
by Scott and Linton ship
builders. Making its maiden
voyage in 1869, it was mainly used for transporting
freshly picked tea back to
the British Isles from China
and is believed to have been
the quickest in its class.
The Cutty Sark was then
commissioned to transport
wool from Australia, managing to travel 360 nautical

The hunt for missing Maddy Carter: Bush is the
McCann continues in Europe worst president in
history
British coach company National Express, and its European partner Eurolines, have
joined the campaign to track
down 4-year-old Madeleine
McCann, missing now for
over three weeks after being
snatched from her bed from
a hotel room in Praia de Luz
Ocean Club resort in the Algarve, Portugal, while her
parents were dining in the
restaurant below.
The coach company is handing out a photo of the girl
with all the tickets they issue, as well as placing posters of her in coach stations
across the 27 countries of
Europe that they travel to, in
a bid to publicise her disappearance.
The announcement by National Express follows news
last week that a Swiss tourist spotted the girl accompanied by a 40-50-year-old man
in a hotel in Hersonissos,
Crete. And a Belgian couple
reported that they too had
seen the girl with a middleaged man in a petrol station
while they were holidaying in Morocco. Moroccan
police confirmed it was the
first they had heard of the
missing girl.
Madeleine’s father, Gerry
McCann stated: “Kate and I
will play a key part in that
campaign. We will travel
wherever is necessary to
ensure people across Europe recognise Madeleine’s
picture and we will encourage them to come forward
with any information which
might lead to Madeleine’s
safe return.”

Ex-president of the States,
Jimmy Carter (1977-1981),
has delivered a bitter message to the Republican
party, calling it: “the worst
in history” regarding international relations, criticising in particular the White
House’s policies on the war
against terrorism.
In addition, the ex-president also criticised Bush’s
environmental policies, as
well as his support for religious programmes.
In a separate interview with
the BBC, Carter described
Tony Blair’s support for
Bush: “abominable, blind
and apparently servile... I
believe that the firm backing of Great Britain to the
unwise policies of Bush in
Iraq has been an enormous
tragedy for the world.”

include strangers in the
background, which will then
be cross-referenced against
a database of pictures of UK
paedophiles and other criminals. Photos can be uploaded
via www.madeleine.ceopupload.com.
The website, set up to find
the missing child, has received over 100 million hits
and 50,000 messages of support since its launch last
week. And money collected
in the Find Madeline fighting fund - which includes
£50,000 from Portsmouth

Cuban authorities have announced tough new measures to crack down on illegal
satellite TV aerials on the
island, and warned people
that they could face prison
terms of up to five years if
they ignored authorities.
The country’s official newspaper, The Granma stated:
“No illegality can remain
unpunished… those individuals selling satellite decoding cards must be put
on trial. Those involved are
contributing to diffusing US
programmes and destroying
the ideologies of the Cuban
Revolution.”
In spite of the warnings,
many Cubans have illegal
antenna receptors, care-
fully camouflaged on their
balconies, patios or in gardens. Dozens of people are
able to access the same receptor by jointly connecting
to the same cable, a practice
which is known colloquially
as ‘spider networking’.

Deaths in
more Lebanon
violence
Dozens of soldiers and civilians died this week during
violent clashes in Tripoli,
Lebanon, between the army
and extremist group Fatah
al Islam, in what has been described as the bloodiest fighting in Lebanon since the end
of the country’s civil war 17
years ago.
The army shelled targets
around refugee camp Nahar
al Bared, home to Fatah al
Islam – which many link to
Al-Qaeda – after violence
erupted following a bank robbery in the central city.
Ghazi Aridi, Lebanon’s minister for Information, stated
that the army would do all it
could to eradicate the Islamic
group. One of the militants
killed last Sunday was a key
leader who had been wanted
in Germany.
Lebanon is home to more than
350,000 Palestinian refugees
who fled or were displaced
when Israel was created in
1948. Yet now civilians are
trapped inside the camp, and
conditions are worsening.
Nadim Houry, from Human
Rights Watch, says the situation in the camp is desperate,
lacking water and electricity
for three days. In addition to
fires and attack from tanks
and artillery shells they are
afraid of leaving to try to get
supplies. The Syrian government, which has always denied links to Fatah al Islam,
ordered the closure of its
main border crossings with
north Lebanon.

It’s a girl thing
One of the drawbacks of the onset of summer – boiling alive
in a metal box on the N-332, belching out ozone-destroying
exhaust fumes with the air-con drinking petrol like an
alcoholic in a bodega. A major road linking two towns with
a population of some 80,000 that is ground to a halt at every
hour of the day, making the eight-kilometre trek last 45
minutes.
No wonder Oliva-based pressure group Circunval·lació
JA! blocked the carriageway last Friday with yet another
massive protest march. I’ve no idea why the immobile
queue of frustrated drivers were leaning on their horns
– protest march or no protest march, they wouldn’t be going
anywhere anyway. Until such time as the elusive by-pass
is in place, they will simply have to turn up the music, put
their feet on the dash and chill out.
The Gandia-Oliva gridlock would be an interesting case
study for the recent research on how people of different
nationalities behave in queues, although no matter where
they were born, all those stuck on the N-332 through La
Safor are equally as fed up.
A more revealing study would probably be the way men and
women react in queues, be they on the N-332 or in Mercadona.
Blokes have plenty to say about women drivers, but I have
always had my own theories about them – something along
the lines of a flash car with an aggressive driver behind
the wheel bears a direct relation to inadequacy in other
departments.
Let’s not go there, though, given that this is a family paper
and I’ve no desire to be branded a man-hating feminist.
“Feminism has had its day,” expostulates a character in an
Emma Donoghue novel. “You’ve got Ms and Chairperson,
what more do you want?”
Not a great deal, really. It was our foremothers who fought
for our cause and in the west, we are pretty much there. I’ve
no intention of chucking myself under a horse or burning
my bra (especially not that trendy Dolce & Gabbana one
with the matching thongs, my prized possession) and I’m
in two minds over the Ley de Igualdad with its requirement
for no less than 40 but no more than 60 per cent of company
board members or local government to be female. It stops
women from being denied top jobs on the grounds of their
gender, but could lead to them being given one purely on
that basis and nothing whatsoever to do with their ability.
Are we really denied top jobs, though? Could it simply be
that there are more women than men with no desire to scale
the upper echelons of the corporate hierarchy? An awful
lot of the women I know – intelligent, educated, ambitious
though they are – say that, although they are drawn to the
notion of a swelling pay-packet with five-figure bonuses
and a job title that commands not only respect but for those
around them to get down on bended knees and declare, ‘I’m
not worthy’, there is more to life.
You may thoroughly enjoy chocolate, but you wouldn’t want
to live on it when there is a wealth of delicious grub out
there to try. Maybe you are fond of fine wines, but sometimes
a strong coffee or a refreshing granizado is more appealing.
Likewise, our lives are made up of a rich pattern of diverse
elements of which our working lives are only one. Friends,
family, holidays, stolen moments solving sudokus in our
local café, window-shopping, stroking a cat, listening to a
record that brings a lump to our throats or makes us want
to get up and dance, strolling on the beach with the wind in
our hearts and joy in our hair – or something along those
lines – glass-ceiling-smashers generally don’t have time for
any of that.
If feminism means sacrificing my sudokus, shopping and
cats, then I’m quite content to be a dumb blonde who can’t
reverse-park to save her life.

Dear ThinkSPAIN Editor
and readers,
Residents of Aigües have
formed an alliance in a bid
to combat over-development
and exploitation of our fertile soil. Our town has been
under dispute over the plans
to create new housing in
this tiny urban village situated in the hills; currently
home to approximately 700
inhabitants. The Plan General backed by the PP wishes
to increase the population
by at least eightfold insisting that by instilling more
housing and residents will
only create more money for
the village. However, this
cannot possibly be the case.
Local residents and party
co-ordinators of the OCA,
(Objetivo Común Aigües)
have formed a party consisting of 120 members; 90% of
which are Spanish with the
remaining 10% expats. We
are experiencing similar
problems to Parcent, which
you highlighted in a letter
last week.
The Plan General was published in July last year and
since then a petition was actioned against this, counting
5,801 signatures. The OCA
have held meetings and
peaceful demonstrations in
a bid to halt the operations
crying “Save the Village!”
Denuncias were issued in
opposition of the plan to the
Oficina Electoral in Alicante
due to 106 possible abuses
of illegal registrations in
the electoral roll, which has
since then been passed on
to the Fiscal and is pending
investigation. However, the
Fiscal claim to have been hit
by a ‘Tsunami’ of denuncias
from across mainland Spain
and as far reaching as the
Canary Islands and are unable to cope with the influx

(Almería)
of complaints. So far we
have received no word from
the Fiscal and it is unknown
when any action will be
taken. Meanwhile the land
is being stolen. Emilia Caballero, the ombudswoman
dealing with this case has
been made totally aware of
the situation and upon her
notification, the town hall
were forced to respond immediately to these allegations; however, they only did
so five months later.
The head of the PP, currently
in power and moving still for
a further term, is Pilar Sol
Cortés; who insists that 80%
of the water utilised for agricultural purposes shall be
recycled and reused within
the village. The remaining
20% is for human consumption and this will not change.
However, if a further 6,500
inhabitants are housed in
Aigües, where will the water supply spring from? Although in their propaganda,
the PP insist there will never
be a shortage of water. How
can they be so sure?
Due to so much opposition
this new plan has caused,
there has been a shake-up
within the village itself affecting the balance of harmony amongst residents.
One very negative aspect
of this is the division it is
causing the villagers. The
anti-corruption parties are
facing a torrent of abuse,
people are afraid to show
what they believe in and
have become targets. This
is across all nationalities,
Spanish, English, German,
it does not matter.
Surely, the European Parliament has a responsibility towards its European citizens.
When they are contacted specifically on the basis of petitions, they have an additional
duty under the Article 194 of
the treaty act, to collaborate
with the regional authorities
and to reach a solution. The
European parliament has
assessed the complaints and
has therefore devised a list
of recommendations, with
the most prominent being
thus:
“Measure to ensure that
each landowner concerned
by any development plan is
immediately informed individually, effectively and in
good time of any plan and
any aspect thereof which
might affect his or her
property and fundamental
rights.”
With all this in view, the
report from the European
Parliament and current
Spanish law, why is this still
an unresolved issue?

Our thoughts
Our thought patterns
are like the landscapes
rushing past the window
of a train: even though
they change constantly
and even though we all
see them in our own way
– and it does in fact make
a difference if we travel
tourist class – they are the
same for all passengers.
However original we try
to be, we are children of
a given era, meaning our
thought patterns share
the same fundamental
base as those of our peers
or neighbours.
Like the white surf that
washes into the shore,
our thoughts resemble this spit from the
gigantic depths of the
sea. Great thinkers and
great thoughts, duly
mashed up, pasteurised
and skimmed, reach the
human coast and come
to form part of our scathing reflexive. Freud, of
course, is very much
present in our conversations and thoughts, meaning we always end up
with our ‘conscious’ and
‘unconscious’ thoughts
upside down.
Like a piece of chewing
gum, our thoughts take
different shapes – they are
probably expressed in different words to those of
our neighbours. Likewise,
at times, we feel like blowing a bubble and letting
it explode or, in the same
manner, digress ingenuously even though in the
middle of it there is nothing but hot air.
Yet at the end of the day,
despite their pliable exterior, both a piece of chewing gum and our thoughts
are pieces of reality that
are difficult to distort and
impossible to transform.
This said, now that we
have made a few comparisons, our thoughts are
mostly just a cocktail that
we carry around or that
are in fashion this season. They contain a good
base in realism or bombproof common sense or in
the temptation we have to
escape from our gregarious tendencies. At the end
of the day we retain in our
conscious or subconscious
a touch of Marxist analysis – as a minimum, the
basic and ancient principal that ‘dosh’ is the basis
of life. Of course, though,
we add to the cocktail a
shot of the benevolence
we learned as children,
now rebranded as ‘social
conscience’, and a few
drops of liberal, not just
economic, thinking, and
finally a spoonful of the
four most topical issues
of the moment.
We then shake the cocktail-maker with a dash
of the wisdom imparted by newswriters and
the verbal diarrhoea of
those chatterboxes on the
radio and the television.
Without fail, our final coup
de grâce is half a sentence
picked up from the book
that we got for Christmas,
the one where we make a
colossal effort every night
to try to remember what
we read in it the night
before.
And finally, ladies and gentlemen, we have the unique
cocktail of our individual
thoughts which, God only
knows why, we believe
has never been prepared
before on Earth nor with
its elements and proportions so carefully blended.
Cheers!
GETTING MARRIED
When I got married via
a civil wedding more
than twenty years ago, it
caused huge upset in the
family. My mother came
down with depression, my
most doting aunties didn’t
come to the wedding, my
father refused to enter the
courtroom and the judge
planted an almost lifesized crucifix on the table
where we signed the marriage certificate.
Previously, when I had
gone to the court to find
out in which booth the
wedding would be conducted, the clerk allowed
himself a bit of a laugh at
my expense and replied,
across the road. In the
church opposite, that is.
It still feels like a tiny
bit of revenge against so
much prudishness.

Communion cost Please keep those electoral promises
One doesn’t need to live
in Spain for long to notice
the Spanish love for partying.
May and June see a flurry
of activity with the arrival of one of the grandest
celebrations of Spanish
family life-communions.
Primarily a religious act
where a child in their 9th
year attends Mass to take
their first holy communion, what was once a simple ceremony has been elevated into a social event
that ranks alongside weddings, both in terms of
cost and preparation.
The church service remains the traditional focus of the day, characterised by the embarrassed
innocence of the children
and the emotion of their
parents. However, where
once the service would
be remembered in family
snaps, the church is now
full of photographers and
video cameras recording
every minute, the solemnity broken by flashes and
whirls, symptomatic of
the commercialisation of
the communion process.
The photograph album
and video can cost from
300 to 800 euros, depending on whether the photographer visits the home
and does a studio session.
The communion clothes
start at 200 euros for a
boy’s traditional sailor
suit to up to 1,000 euros
for a girl’s white communion dress plus accessories, shoes, gold jewellery
and new outfits for the
entire family. The costs
really start to spiral with
the banquet. Less than
20 years ago, when I first
went to communion parties, a number were still
held at home with family
and close friends. Today
the smartest restaurants
are booked a year in advance, around 100 guests
is normal and
menus
rarely start from under 30
euros a head. Children’s
entertainers are now obligatory, as are gifts for
the guests and cases of
cigars.
This level of expense
may be manageable but
it doesn’t stop there. For
months before the big day
families are paying out to
smarten up their houses,
painting the fachadas,
decorating the child’s bedroom and buying new furniture in order to display
the communion outfit and
expected gifts. Presentgiving has also become
big business. Alongside
the traditional pyjamas,
school items and books it
is now normal to see digital cameras, bikes, playstations and even computers.
Many families budget
years ahead to pay for
what they see as one of
the most important events
in their child’s life but others go into debt and need
bank loans to cover the expense. I think it is sad that
such
over-consumption
has become necesssary
to demonstrate our love
for our children. As with
Christmas, we are in danger of losing the significance of a religious event
as it becomes hidden in
ever-glossier wrappings.
Next Sunday’s regional
elections are the hardest-fought of the decade.
The electoral battle in
Valencia has been much
more fun and interesting
than the one in Murcia,
where it seems that nothing can stop the Partido
popular (PP) defending
its absolute majority. In
the Valencia region, the
excitement has not been
provided by the politicians, but by civil society.
Hundreds of platforms
have been established to
show that Camps is endangering a great deal of
elements in their daily
lives. Bernie Ecclestone
also managed to inject
some fun into the proceedings with his controversial guest appearance, and
now in the final strait, the
interesting match is being
played on the polls field.
In the weeks prior to the
campaign, two independent companies, Grupo
Opina and Grupo Marest,
undertook polls for two
independent newspapers,
respectively. The results
were extremely dissimilar. According to Opina,
the PP easily defends its
absolute majority; according to Marest, the PP
could lose control of the
Valencia regional government. So if Camps loses
the elections, not only will
the left win, but Marest
will shoot to fame, as only
Marest and a professor of
statistics at the University
of Valencia, José-Miguel
Bernardo, have dared to
predict that the PP could
lose the forthcoming elections. In that case, Opina,
a solvent company that
also works for Cadena
Ser, Spain’s leading radio
station, would have to explain why its polls have
failed, because it has said
in every way possible that
the PP will retain its absolute majority. Conversely,
if the PP does retain it,
then Marest will be discredited. And how long
has this poll tradition been
around? Well it seems that
the first poll that we know
about was undertaken by
a newspaper, the Harrisburg Pennsylvanian, in
1824 to find out the preference of the citizens of
Wimiltown in the United
States. In 1880, a group
of newspapers composed
of the Boston Globe, the
New York Herald Tribune,
the St. Louis Republic and
the Los Angeles Times
held a new poll, with some
success: their percentages were not dissimilar
to those obtained by the
candidates on the day of
the elections. In 1936, the
magazine Literary Digest
tried to hold its own poll
José-Miguel Bernardo
by sending out ten million
forms to be filled in by the
American public. The result was a disaster. This
experience showed that
it is not the size of the
sample, rather the technique of the pollster that
determines success. And
this is where our University of Valencia professor,
José-Miguel
Bernardo,
comes into play again. He
states that the Sociological Research Centre (CIS),
Citizens should
vote to assess the
government’s
performance
which has also predicted
that Camps will defend
his absolute majority, is
wrong because it is using
an erroneous randomisation method. What is this
randomisation? Well, it is
the way in which a team
ensures that the sample is
chosen randomly, which
is, essentially, the principle of all statistical validity. So we will soon know if
Camps has won or if the
left-wing coalition is about
to upset the trend of the
last twelve years, but we
will also know who won
out of Opina and Marest.
I suggest that you make
your own mind up about
who to vote for and that
you follow the results with
keen interest next Sunday.
This is much more important that a football match,
but it is just as much fun.
The problem is that since
elections are not held very
often, we don’t get hooked.
In order to resolve this issue and to increase the
level of control that we
citizens have on politics, a
friend of mine suggested
a system that, if not anything else, is certainly fun.
He suggests that each year
the citizens should vote to
assess the government’s
performance and, according to the results, the parties would keep their seats
or gradually lose them.
This system might sound
like madness, so here is
another friend’s suggestion: we citizens could
take the parties to court
if they do not keep their
promises. Imagine that
you have voted for a political party that promised to
clean up your neighbourhood. How could the citizen defend itself, if, once
elected, the party doesn’t
keep its promise. Well,
according to my friend,
that broken promise is
fraud and subject to legal
action. In order to defray
the legal costs it would
be necessary to constitute assemblies of voters,
like a political version of
a consumer association.
The truth is that both proposals are interesting and
what is clear is that voting
gives us the right to complain. So stand up and be
counted and place your
bets.

Control your Goddamn rage
I have a suggestion. Walk
outside now and take
a breath of fresh air.
Chances are that the air
quality is good, there may
be a cloud-free sky and
signs of positive human
interaction around you.
Armed with the most basic of human needs – air,
water, chocolate biscuits
– you can plot a course
through your week that
includes me time, you
time, kids time, work time
and smile-at-a-neighbour
time. Well done, you have
just improved the planet
by reducing our rage quotient!
Apparently, one in five
Americans have an anger
management
problem,
and many of us, even here
in ‘mañana-attitude’ Spain
have an inability to deal
with everyday anger that
arises in the workplace,
on the domestic front, or
in the wider world. Since
the Americans appear to
be ahead of us in the rage
stakes, let’s see what their
therapists have got to say
about dealing with anger.
The initial four stages
are: identify what triggers
your anger, compare this
to factors from childhood
that may still be inhibiting your progress, learn
to express ‘legitimate anger’ and then forgive others for the psychological
wounds of your past. But
what happens when you
are continually on the receiving end of an angry
work colleague?
Wikipedia suggests “Surefire techniques for controlling anger are: Stop
Talking, Stop Staring,
Leave the Room.” and that
you should find a way to
agree with the angry party, no matter how insignificant your agreement
(you really ARE angry,
aren’t you...), as this is
an instant anger diffuser.
Another more dubious
tactic employed in the
film Anger Management
(with Jack Nicholson at
his crazy best, and a bemused Adam Sandler) is
to enjoy the flip side to anger. Because of the surge
of energy and adrenalin
it creates, anger can be
pleasurable. This feeling
is reinforced if becoming
angry allows the release
of feelings of frustration,
or if a person’s response
to your anger gives you a
sense of power. Hey, beat
the hell out of a cushion or use a voodoo doll,
but don’t push your col-
league’s head in their
salad pot!
A personal hobby-horse
of mine is the idea that
people should take greater personal responsibility
for their actions. Instead
of blaming that slow driver or your pedantic neighbour, look at why you let
anger get to you. Consider
what you can change in
your own life, or let go
of, to enable the anger to
slip away too. Anger often
says more about your own
unhappiness. And if I stop
berating my kids for their
sibling squabbles as I am
writing this, and simply
BREATHE, maybe I won’t
flip out in a second and
trash their lego.

Why are we waiting?
Flirting, fighting, or flicking
through the latest bestseller.
What do you do when you’re
in a queue? That depends
upon your nationality…
By Samantha Kett
An Englishman, a Spaniard and an Italian are
standing in a queue. One
picks a fight, another
picks up a lady and the
third coughs politely and
looks the other way before
commenting distractedly,
“lovely weather.”
Bet you can’t guess which
is which.
The British have long
held the trump card for
being the nationality
fondest of queuing. They
politely wait their turn;
say, “no, no, you go first, I
insist” when they have a
full trolley and the person
behind only wants to pay
for a loaf of bread, and
they resign themselves to
being pushed and shoved
and people forcing their
way in front of them
when they go abroad, particularly to the hot-headed
Mediterranean countries.
No, no, you
go first,
I insist
Yet is this no more than
a series of national stereotypes?
Our readers from Northern European countries
cannot have failed to notice that, whilst standing
in a queue in the bank,
post office or a small shop
in Spain, each time somebody walks through the
door and joins the waiting crowd they mutter,
“buenaaaas”, to which
they will receive an incomprehensible,
collective mumble from those
present in reply. Especially if it is a Monday morning or the queue is for
particularly disagreeable
transactions, such as paying the annual SUMA bill.
If the same person tried
that in the UK, everyone
would look at him or her
as though they had a clinically-insane sub-human
species in the building
and shift, unconsciously,
a few feet away. What kind
of weirdo actually speaks
to you if they don’t even
know you?
To cap the list of pointless studies that are carried out these days – even
beating the expensive university-based research to
find out whether monkeys
understand Shakespeare
(they don’t) was a recent
analysis of how Europeans from five different
countries behave when
they are forced to hang
around. The results were
eye-opening.
Brits are far more argumentative than Spaniards when waiting in a
queue, who are yet more
meek and mild than the
Germans. In fact, even
the acid-tongued Gallic
temper is less prevalent
than that of the allegedly
phlegmatic Brits, with
their penchant for apologising when somebody
treads on their toe or rams
a shopping trolley into
their ankles. The French,
surprisingly, are calmer
queuers than those from
the nation famed for doing it best.
Predictably, the Italians
are more likely to practice their chat-up lines
and some are successful,
although the Spanish are
the least likely to search
for romance whilst waiting for a bus or to pay for
their shopping. Less so,
even, than the supposedly
more reserved Britons.
How do they know?
A total of 5,500 European
citizens were interviewed
in December last year by
research company NCR,
an international firm
commissioned by market
analysts all over the continent. Although said market analysts have not revealed what they hoped to
achieve from the results,
no doubt they have their
motives. However, if these
include reducing queues
in high-street establishments, ticket offices and
train platforms, or at least
making life more comfortable and tolerable
for those who are resigned to a long wait,
perhaps the study may
transpire to be a little
more sensible than
those relating to primates and literary
canons.
Out of all the interviewees,
the
Italians turned
out to be the
worst-behaved
in the queue,
although by
far the most
interesting,
particularly
for spectators.
At least half of them
claimed to have
pushed or argued
QUEUING UP: How well-behaved you are when standing in line depends upon where you are born
with someone and a whopping 81 per cent having
chatted somebody up or
even managed to secure
a first date whilst queuing. Where romance and
bloodshed appear unlikely, though, the Italians are
the first to abandon ship.
The most impatient nation, three-quarters claim
to have given up waiting
when the queue is simply
too long.
The Brits are little better. Whilst only a quarter
of French people and a
third of Germans have
picked a fight with someone in a queue – or admit
to it – a surprising four in
10 Britons have become
sufficiently wound up
whilst waiting as to take
out their frustration on a
fellow queuer. As for the
supposedly hot-tempered
people of Spain, only 22
per cent have owned up
to anti-social behaviour,
such as elbowing, pushing and shoving, queuejumping or starting an
argument with a complete
stranger.
Dating agencies have
long claimed that more
romances are started in
the supermarket than in
nightclubs and singles’
bars, and this is certainly
the case for the Italians
although it seems to ring
true for Europe as a whole.
Out of the five countries
studied, an average of 41
per cent has flirted with
someone in a queue. This
average is slightly distorted by the overly-forward
Italians – 36 per cent of
the French, Germans and
British have attempted to
pick someone up whilst
hanging about waiting
for the bus or the bank
manager. The most shy
and retiring, surprisingly
WIT’S END: Brits, along with Italians, are more inclined
to pick fights than hang around patiently
– and crushing all popular
beliefs about Latin lovers
– are the Spanish. Next to
the Italians, they are the
most likely to abandon
a queue or lean on their
horns in an immobile
traffic jam – even when it
is likely to have no effect
whatsoever and the lights
remain, resolutely, red
– or to cut people up and
overtake unwisely when
they feel that their movement is being hampered
unnecessarily. Yet, unlike
the Italians, Spanish people are the least likely to
use long waits to their advantage by making their
own entertainment – in
fact, nearly half say they
would never return to any
establishment or highway
in which they had had to
suffer an unfeasibly long
wait.
Of course, there are numerous other forms of
diversion that people can
find whilst queuing, some
dictated by nationality
and others independent
of it.
The Parisians are
fond of reading whilst
standing around waiting for buses, metros and post-office
counters, and seem
to have perfected
the art of remaining engrossed in
their
chapters
without walking
into lamp-posts
even when the
queue starts moving.
Spanish people like to
chat about the weather,
politics, and their grandchildren, whilst admiring
everyone around them in
a pushchair or on a lead,
proving once again that
kids and dogs are a fantastic ice-breaker.
Expatriates in Spain, particularly from Northern
Europe, like to compare
notes about everything
from restaurants to reforming properties and
the price of flights back to
their land of origin.
In countries where smoking is restricted in public
places, many take advantage of a queue for
a last puff before boarding a train or entering a
building. The less-refined
might while the time away
by munching on crisps or
sandwiches whilst queuers of all nationalities,
particularly the younger
generations, spend this
time sending text messages or making calls on
their mobile phones.
Much-loved Birminghamborn comedian Jasper
Carrott once described
catalogue outlet Argos as
‘the Greek God of pointless queuing’, yet this
latest research proves
queuing may not, in fact,
be pointless, especially if
you are single or spoiling
for a fight.
So, next time you are at the
foreign office renewing
your residencia or standing in line at Mercadona,
check out the nationality
of your companions. This
will tell you how much
risk you are at of being
punched, shouted at or
asked on a date – but above
all, unless you are Italian
and lack the patience to
wait around, make like
the French and take a
good book with you.

A city on its own island
Cádiz
is
the
oldest
continuously inhabited city
in western Europe. It is built
on a narrow strip of land
and can only be reached via a
bridge from the mainland.
By Cornelia Muller
Cádiz is a typically Andalucian city. The oldest
part of Cádiz is hidden
behind thick medieval
walls and consists of a
maze of narrow winding alleys connecting a
number of squares. Due
to its geographic location the city could not
spread out, so the newer
parts of town are full of
high rises. As you drive
through them you can
see glimpses of the sea
on both sides.
Traditionally the foundation of the city is dated
to 1104 BC. In the earliest
days Cádiz was a small
trading post of the Phoenicians. They called it Gadir, which means fortress
or walled stronghold. According to Greek legend,
the city was founded by
Hercules. Around 500BC,
the city became a base
of operations for Hannibal’s conquest of the
Iberian peninsula. When
the Romans conquered it
in the second century BC
it became the principal
city of a Roman colony
and with nearly 100,000
inhabitants one of the
most prosperous cities of
the Roman empire. During the age of exploration
Christopher Columbus
sailed out of Cádiz on his
second and fourth voyage
to America, and the city
became the main port of
the Spanish fleet. In the
18th century sand bars
in the river Guadalquivir forced the Spanish
government to move the
trade base from Sevilla to
Cádiz. Most of the grand
buildings in Cádiz stem
from this golden age. At
the end of the 18th century the city witnessed
Nelson’s defeat at Trafalgar, about 30 minutes outside the city. Today only a
small sign next to a watch
tower reminds of this
costly British failure.
Carnival
Cádiz has the highest unemployment rate in Andalucía, so many young
people are forced to
leave their home town in
search of work in other
cities. The gaditanos are
still considered one of
the most humorous people in Spain.
The carnival in Cádiz
is famous around the
world. Unlike Río or Santa Cruz de Tenerife it is
not full of glamour and
scandal. Here the central
themes of the carnival
are criticism often with
a political nature, satire and imaginative costumes. But be assured,
even if you do not understand the play on the
words, the town is full of
partygoers and you will
have a very good time listening to the music and
dancing and drinking
the night away.
Major landmarks
The most famous landmark is the cathedral.
Built on the ruins of an
older building, it took 116
years to complete it. As a
result, it has several different styles.
Overlooking the Plaza
de San Juan Dios, the
town hall was completed
in 1861. Here, in 1936, the
CATHEDRAL: A mixture of styles
AERIAL VIEW: Cádiz is built on a narrow island
flag of Andalucía was
hoisted for the first time.
In the 18th century Cádiz
had more than 160 watch
towers from which local
merchants could look out
to sea for arriving merchant ships. The towers
often formed part of the
merchants’ houses. The
Torre Tavira, named for
its original owner, stands
as the tallest remaining watchtower. It has a
cámera oscura, a room
that uses the principal of
the pinhole camera and a
specially prepared convex
lens to project panoramic
views of the old city onto
its interior walls.
The medieval city was
surrounded by thick city
walls. Today the Puertas
de Tierra form the main
entrance into the old
town. Last century they
had to be modified to accommodate modern traffic.
The fortress of Candelaria also tells of Cádiz’
significance in the past.
Built in the 17th century
it was used to defend the
channel approaching the
port of Cádiz. Now thoroughly renovated, it is
used as a cultural venue.
In 1980 there was a fire
in the El Pópulo area of
Cádiz. In the aftermath
of the fire, the remains
of an ancient Roman
theatre were found. Systematic excavations have
revealed a largely intact
Roman theatre. It was
constructed in the first
century BC and is the
second largest Roman
theatre in the world, surpassed only by Pompeii.
The Pylons of Cádiz
are imposing electricity
pylons on either side of
the bay of Cádiz. They
are 158 metres high and
supply the city with electricity.
Beaches
The
stretch
between
Cádiz and Tarifa probably has the most beautiful beaches in Spain.
They are wide and sandy,
often several kilometres
long and more than 50
metres deep. The waters
of the Atlantic are fresh,
so the bathing season is
CÁDIZ: A major port town
BEACHES: Wide and sandy
shorter than on the Med.
Kite-surfing is increasing popular, so make sure
you choose your kind of
beach, so that you are not
suddenly surrounded by

the wind starts to blow.

LEGAL AND FINANCE
Estate agents go bust as
property bubble pops
Prices fall, yet mortgages remain
stubbornly out of reach
By Samantha Kett
Six estate agency firms in
Gandia have closed in the
last two months because
people cannot afford property, say sources from the
doomed companies.
Rising interest rates coupled with relentlessly soaring prices are putting the
cost of buying a home out
of the average person’s
reach.
Estate agents firms say
less and less people are
able to secure a mortgage
loan high enough to meet
the cost of purchasing a
property.
Interest rate hikes have
put made the market inaccessible for a significant
segment of the population
– those on low incomes.
Rates of as high as 6.6 per
N
cent result in monthly
repayments that, in many
cases, are more than half
of the applicant’s takehome pay.
Foreigner residents say
that they feel ‘prejudiced’
because banks are making
it increasingly difficult for
them to secure loans.
In the past, a huge number
of second-hand properties
were bought by expatriates.
Banks mainly demand
fixed-term employment
contracts and that clients
put down a given percentage as deposit.
Properties for sale are taking longer to shift these
days, with some sellers
being forced to reduce the
asking price by as much as
18,000 euros.
FALLING PRICES: The housing bubble looks set to pop as the average buyer is priced out of the market
Spain’s highest mortgages
The average mortgage-holder in
Gandia has a loan of 170,000 euros
– one of the highest in the country.
In Spain as a whole, the average home
loan is 150,146 euros.
This has increased by a whopping
11.5 per cent in the past twelve
months, says the National Institute
of Statistics.
Gandia’s high mortgages are mainly
due to the fact that a high number
of them are on a 100 per cent loan-tovalue ratio. Even allowing for this, the
cost of a 90-square-metre flat in the
town oscilates between 180,000 and
600,000 euros. In addition, the fees and
legal costs involved in buying a home
with a mortgage usually add an extra
ten per cent onto the purchase price.
A mortgage of 170,000 euros means
monthly repayments of around 800
euros, some 150 more than in 2005.

Siemens’ managers in court
over bribery allegations
Two previous managers
of mobile phone giant,
Siemens, have been awarded suspended prison sentences over bribery allegations.
A German court found
them guilty of paying
bribes to the tune of six
million euros to bosses at
Italian utility firm Enel in
order to win a bid for turbine contracts of approximately 450 million euros.
The high-profile corruption scandal took place
over a period of time
between 1999 and 2002
and, when it became public, led to chief executive
Klaus Kleinfeld and chair-
man Heinrich von Pierer’s
resigning.
Two years on probation was
awarded against Andreas
Kley, former finance chief
of Siemens� turbine unit
until three years ago. He
is accused of bribery and
breach of trust, which his
colleague Hörst Vigener
was charged with assisting bribery and faces nine
months� probation.
The company has been
ordered to repay the sum
of 38 million euros to the
state of Hesse, Germany,
for adjustment of profits
as a result of the bribery
case, confirmed judges
last week.

Delphi Toyota protest
Factory workers blocked
off a motorway on Monday,
May 14 to protest against
the planned closure of their
plant and the loss of 1,600
jobs.
Employees at the Delphi
Toyota factory in Puerto
Real (province of Cádiz)
walked the 119 kilometres to
the city of Sevilla, a six-day
trek starting out at 09.20 hrs
last Monday to raise awareness of their plight.
Andalucía’s regional government stressed to staff at
the multinational that they
are ‘not alone’ and have politicians’ full support in their
campaign.
They reached their destination – the headquarters
of the Junta de Andalucía,
or regional parliament,
known as the Casa Rosa - on
Saturday, May 19 at around
10.00 hrs.
During the march, the
150 participants walked
between 19 and 25 kilometres a day over eight-hour
stretches.
Local councils of the towns
that they passed en route
provided the use of sports’
halls and other facilities
so walkers could rest overnight.
Financial difficulties in the
North American firm could
spell doom for the Cádiz
plant.
This is despite the fact that,
in March 2002, the branch
received the Certificate of
Recognition by American
Axle & Manufacturing
(AAM) for meeting the customer’s SCALE (Supplier
Customer Alliance Leads to
Excellence) target for 2001.
The SCALE award is given
in recognition of the manufacturers’ ‘commitment,
cooperation and contribution towards attaining the
mutually-beneficial goals
of continuous improvement
and customer satisfaction’,
explained AAM.

arrested
Former WBO featherweight
champion Scott Harrison
has been released from custody after appearing in a
Spanish court.
The 29-year-old Scotsman
was arrested in the early

with two other men, following an alleged brawl at a
bar in Colne.
He was due to appear at

to answer several offences
but failed to appear.
The two other men charged
in connection with the incident at the Counting House

Harrison, have denied the
charges.
It is the second time
Harrison has courted trouble in Spain. Last October
he was arrested and spent

Away win for Baa-baas
on first trip to Spain
Just over 3,000 spectators
attended the Guinnesssponsored rugby match at
the 60,000-seater Martínez
Valero stadium in Elche,
marking the 50th anniversary of the Barbarians
(‘Baa-baas’) and their first
visit to Spain.
“Spain made a few mistakes to begin with, but
they soon came to grips
with the game. Credit to
Spain for their courage
– they came out after the
break and defended impressively well,” says Baa-baas
number 11, Lee Robinson.
The match kicked off at
19.30 hrs. Spain won the
toss and kicked off facing
north. Baa-baas catch the
ball, but Spain were quick
to wrestle player and ball to
the ground. A scrappy ruck
forced a penalty in front of
the Baa-baas’ posts which
Spain were quick to capitalise on, opening the scoring
with three points from the
boot of number 10, Esteban
Roqué.
Eighteen minutes into the
game, Spain restarted but a
break by Baa-baas number
13, Matt Cornwall, allowed
him to kick the ball upfield.
Baa-baas now had 18 points.
Roqué restarted for Spain
and Baa-baas again found
its pace, and number 9,
Guy Easterby made a break
– but Spain’s defence held
up to the barrage inside
Spain’s 22 yards.
It took only three minutes
COURAGE: Spain defended impressively well, but ‘Baa-baas’ were just too strong
for Baa-baas to score again
with a try by Kevin Maggs
in the left-hand corner of
Spain’s touch area.
Thirty-two minutes into
the game, Spain forced a
penalty in front of Baa-
baas’ goal. Roqué took the
applause as he scored for
Spain.
Baa-baas number 14, Rhys
Williams, scored in minute
42 – an excellent try with
clever surgical passes
increased the lead for the
visitors to 45 points.
The remainder of the game
saw an ever-increasingly
frustrated Spain struggle to
break through the Baa-baas
defence. Yet a consolation
try and conversion for the
home side made the supporting crowd erupt into cheers
and song – ¡Viva España!
The match ended with
a final score of Spain 26
– Barbarians 52.
Ferrer puts Spain ahead in ATP
DAVID FERRER: Beat Philipp Kohlscreiber
Spain defeated Germany
and the Czech Republic
beat Belgium in roundrobin play at the ATP World
Team Championship on
Wednesday.
Spain, Germany and the
Czech Republic play today
(Friday) to determine who
will advance to Saturday’s
final. The United States
plays its final match on
Thursday against Sweden,
while Argentina faces Chile.
Belgium is already eliminated.
David Ferrer put Spain
ahead by beating German
Philipp Kohlschreiber 6-3,
7-5, and Nicolás Almagro
defeated Florian Mayer 64, 6-4 to secure the 2-1 victory. Germany won the doubles point when Michael
Kohlmann and Alexander
Waske beat Almagro and
Bartolomeu Salva-Vidal 7-6
(3), 6-3.
Kohlschreiber had an opportunity to level the match
against Ferrer at one set each
when he broke the Spaniard
to lead the second set 5-3. But
Ferrer raised his game and
some explosive forehands
helped him sweep the next
four games.
The Czech Republic took the
lead against Belgium when
Tomás Berdych took just 56
minutes to overwhelm Olivier
Rochus 6-3, 6-0. Jan Hajek then
withstood a strong challenge
from Kristof Vliegen to win
7-6 (7), 6-4, before Rochus and
Steve Darcis earned a consolation doubles point over
Berdych and Martin Damm.
The eight-nation field is split
into two groups, with the
winners of each advancing
to the final. Argentina, Chile,
Sweden and the United States
are in the Red Group, with
Belgium, Czech Republic,
Germany and Spain in the
Blue Group.

Where do I begin to comment on the events of this
week at the club?
Do I dedicate this article to
the fantastic achievement of
our CD Jávea infantiles in
being narrowly defeated 2
- 1 against West Ham United,
who only three weeks previously had beaten Chelsea 7
- 1? Do I write about the
amazing sight of Villarreal
playing West Ham United
infantiles, or that of three
CD Jávea players being
asked by West Ham to play
for them against Villarreal?
Another possibility is the
CD Jávea youth tournament
this weekend featuring
Manchester City/Alicante
and Villarreal. Lastly, I could
write about our fantastic
victory this Sunday away to
Albatera. We only have to
beat Polop to avoid relegation, after looking ‘dead and
buried’ for so long.
This has been the most fantastic week at the club, and
if we finish the season with
a win against Polop then it
will be remembered for all
the right reasons and thankfully not the wrong ones.
Saturday is a massive day
in the history of our club as
once again we are privileged
to host two of Europe’s top
teams, plus during the day
the final game of the season
will shape the future destiny
of CD Jávea.
Our next game will be

Dénia triumphs in Nationals
Bowls
Emerald Isle
Bowls
With the Nationals being
played over the next two
weeks, none of our leagues
are operating. However,
this week we held a fun day
on Sunday and a friendly
against the Highjackers.
On Sunday the fun day
was played with teams of
four on a 2-2-4 formation
- the first six ends one pair
played, the next six ends
a second pair played and
finally the last eight ends
were played as rinks.
In 4th position was Raul
Bennett’s rink with a score
of plus 10, third was Rita
Bennett’s rink plus 11, second was Doug Smith’s rink
on plus 13 and the winners
were Frank King’s rink on
plus 17.
At our meeting with the
Highjackers, E.I. won by 4
rinks to 3 with one rink
being drawn. Frank King,
Liz Page, Robin Kirby and
Ron Squires were the best
E.I. rink with a score of
plus 20, Frank and Ron were
in the money two days running. The rink of David W,
Bill H, Dave P and Jennifer
were Highjackers top 4 with
a score of plus 10.
Despite winning four out
of five matches in the
National Open Tournament
in
Valladolid,
Dénia
Infantiles (Under 15s) came
5th overall in the Gold Cup.
In the group stages a comfortable 35-0 win against
Sitges was followed by a
tighter and tense 14-7 victory over Boadilla. All the
points came in the first
half and Dénia spent most
of the second half defending their lead. After a long
break, Dénia, with a couple
of players struggling with
injury, suffered against
eventual winners Sant
Cugat, losing 28-0. This
meant that the second day
was spent battling out the
5th to 8th place positions
in the Gold Cup. Victories
over Majadahonda (210) and Horcesa (7-0) saw
the side claim 5th place to
record a very respectable
performance for a season
that had started so well
yet tailed off so badly in
recent weeks. Failure to
qualify for the National
Championship had been
disappointing but the overall performance of the side
in Valladolid was a credit
to spirit of the team and
their coaches.
Dénia Alevines (Under 13s)
had a very early start after
the long trip to Valladolid
the previous day against
local side El Salvador and
started a little slowly losing 20-10. This meant they
had to win their next game
against FC Barcelona to
secure a place in the Silver
Cup. Four tries from Rhys
ensured a comfortable
40-0 victory. A hard game
against Olímpico (15-15)
was settled by a ‘golden conversion’ by Dénia. But the
second phase proved a little frustrating, with defeats
against a strong Boadilla
side (15-0) and then Cullera
(15-10) for a 12th place finish. Considering the small
squad, both numerically
INFANTILES: 5th place in the Gold Cup
and physically, this was a
fine achievement.
Dénia Benjamines (Under
11s) recorded the best Dénia
Rugby Club performance of
the weekend, finishing 8th
in their category. Good performances against Marbella
(3-2) and Sitges (6-2) guaranteed a place in the Gold
Cup and a top 8 finish, but
further victories remained
painfully elusive as one try
defeats against Santboiana
(Golden Try), local rivals
Cullera and Boadilla saw, at
the end a disappointing 8th
place finish.
Dénia
Pre-Benjamines
(Under 9s) finished a very
creditable 11th from 24
teams. In the group stages
an early defeat against El
Salvador (20-10) was followed by victories against
Barcelona
(40-0)
and
Olympico (15-5). Consigned
to the Silver Cup, defeat
against Boadilla (15-0) was
followed by a hard fought
victory over local rivals
CAU (50-20).
The Dénia School of
Rugby now looks forward to a short Summer
break before beginning
next season’s campaign.

coming second in the first

has now ascended the podium seven times in 11 races
of which two were uncompleted due to mechanical
problems.
Said William, “I am delighted by my run of success
which is largely due to the
help and coaching I receive
from Silverstone’s chief
instructor Chris Ward.”
Former Brands Hatch managing director John Webb,
now living in Spain, says of
his protégé, “William’s early
progress is quite remarkable. Although he has many
years to go before attempting to emulate F1 star Lewis
Hamilton it is not impossible but will require a lot
of sponsorship and dedication.”
William’s next races are at

Liverpool’s 2 - 1 defeat
by AC Milan in the
Champions League final
was due to a controversial
opening goal that came off
the arm of striker Filippo
Inzaghi, newspapers said
on Thursday.
‘Armed robbery’ was the
front page headline in The
Sun which said Liverpool’s
Champions League dream
was ‘cruelly shattered’ by
Inzaghi’s deflected opening goal on the stroke of
half-time at the Olympic
Stadium in Athens on
Wednesday.
Inzaghi, who also scored a
fine second goal for Milan
in the 82nd minute, ran
into the path of Andrea
Pirlo’s free kick to send
the ball past goalkeeper
Pepe Reina, who was
wrongfooted by the deflec-
Sevilla
coach
Juande
Ramos is concerned that
Ronaldinho and Kaka’s
decision to skip the Copa
América will mean players
from his club will be selected by Brazil at a crucial
stage of the season.
Sevilla’s Daniel Alvés,
Renato, Adriano Correia
and Luis Fabiano could
all be drafted in by Brazil
coach Dunga for the Copa
América which begins in
Venezuela on June 26.
The players are then likely to miss the last league
match of the season and the
final of the Copa del Rey
against Getafe on June 23.
“As soon as we know
Dunga’s squad we will have
to try and find a solution,
but until then we can’t do
anything,” Ramos told a
news conference yesterday.
Sevilla, who retained their
UEFA Cup crown last
week with a victory over
fellow Spaniards Espanyol
at Hampden Park, are two
points behind leaders Real
Madrid in third place in the
Primera Liga with three
games left to play.
Lorenzo takes
the lead
Spain’s Jorge Lorenzo, on
an Aprilia, won the 250cc
French Grand Prix on
Sunday beating Italian
Andrea Dovizioso and Alex
di Angelis of San Marino. It
was the champion’s fourth
win in five GPs this season
and came after a thrilling
duel with Dovizioso.
The Spaniard took the lead
for the last time on the 20th
of 26 laps and never looked
back from there, despite the
Italian setting the fastest lap
of the race on the last lap.
Taekwondo
gold for Spain
Briguitte Yagüe won the
second gold medal for Spain
at the taekwondo worlds in
the women’s 51kg category
after beating Croatia’s Ana
Zaninovic 4-3 on Sunday,
scoring the winning point
just before the end of the
game on a side-kick.
José
Antonio
Ramos,
Yagüe’s boyfriend, gifted
Spain the first gold medal
after winning the men’s

Yagüe took a 2-1 lead after

‘Robbed by the hand

Mirror’s front page headline next to a picture of
Inzaghi being clearly hit
on the arm by the ball that
gave Milan a fortunate
lead.
The front page of The Times

the

reporting
that two years after the
‘Miracle of Istanbul’ when Liverpool recovered
from 3 - 0 down to force a
3 - 3 draw and victory on
penalties - Milan have now
got their revenge.
The Daily Telegraph opted
like most of the papers

Liverpool captain Gerrard
under the front page headline ‘Greek tragedy for

“Like the monsoon that

disappointment

The Telegraph added.
SPAIN KNOCKED OUT
OF AMERICA’S CUP
Despite sterling efforts
in the semi-finals Team
New Zealand finally beat
Spain’s Desafío Español
to eliminate the home
team and reach the final
of sailing’s Louis Vuitton
Cup, the qualifying event
for the America’s Cup.
The Kiwis won by 1
minute, 18 seconds in
choppy waters off the
coast of Valencia to take
an unassailable 5-2 lead
in the best-of-nine semifinal.
Team
New
Zealand,
which lost the 2003
America’s Cup as host
in Auckland, will face
Italy’s Luna Rossa for the
right to vie with defending champion Alinghi of
Switzerland for the 156year-old trophy, sailing’s
oldest prize.
With winds of 20 knots
(23 miles-per-hour) whipping up the sea, two sailors on Desafío Español
had to bail out water as
Team New Zealand raced
ahead at the start.
The first Spanish boat to
reach the Louis Vuitton
Cup semifinals, Desafío
Español never recovered
enough to threaten the
Kiwi boat’s lead.
Team New Zealand will
face Luna Rossa in the
best-of-nine final from
June 1. Luna Rossa eliminated Larry Ellison’s
BMW Oracle team 5-1 two
days ago.
New Zealand is seeking
revenge for its 5-0 loss
to Alinghi in 2003, made
sourer for some by skipper Russell Coutts’s leadership of the Swiss team.
Coutts had led the Kiwis
to the America’s Cup in
1995 and 2000.

Alinghi, owned by billionaire Ernesto Bertarelli,
terminated Coutts’s contract in July 2004 and he
agreed not to participate
for any team at this year’s
America’s Cup.
Giants
battle for
Primera
Liga
Barcelona proved they are
not about to give up their
Primera Liga title without
a fight as they hammered
Atlético de Madrid, 6 - 0,
in the Vicente Calderón
to keep pace with leaders
Real Madrid on Sunday.
It was Barça’s first win
over Atlético in six
attempts and put them
level on 69 points with
Real, who beat Recreativo
de Huelva, 3 - 2, away, but
Barça remain second due
to their inferior head-tohead record with three
games left.
Barça were set on their
way to stunning victory
with three goals in the last
six minutes of the first
half from Lionel Messi,
Gianluca Zambrotta and
Samuel Eto’o.
With Atlético in tatters,
Ronaldinho
struck
a
fourth in the 58th minute,
Messi added a fifth five
minutes from time, and
Andrés Iniesta completed
the rout at the end.
A shambolic Atlético, who
remain sixth in the UEFA
Cup places, finished with
10 men after Brazilian
defender Fabiano Eller
was sent off for his second
yellow in the 72nd minute.
Real’s win was something
of a let off and was made
possible when veteran
Brazilian Roberto Carlos
struck a stoppage-time
winner to lift Real Madrid
back to the top of the
table in Spain and rescue
a match they appeared to
have thrown away.
Robinho’s first-half strike,
from David Beckham’s
cross, and a Ruud van
Nistelrooy penalty had
put the visitors in control, but Antonio Jesús
Vázquez’s spot-kick and
a goal from substitute
Ikechukwu Uche looked to
have salvaged a point for
Recreativo before Roberto
Carlos’ timely contribution.
The victory briefly moved
Madrid
three
points
ahead of Barça and maintains the hopes of former
England captain Beckham
claiming some silverware
before leaving Madrid to
join Los Angeles Galaxy
this summer.
