DOCTOR DEATH
JAILED: Dr. Juan Maeso
A sentence of nearly 2,000
years has been handed out
to a leading doctor who
left hundreds of patients
with Hepatitis C. The
well-known and highlyrespected anaesthetist Dr
Juan Maeso fed his drug
addiction at the expense
of patients’ lives, a court
heard this week.
Few could have imagined
at the beginning of the
1990s that the renowned
medic would be behind one
of Spain’s largest Hepatitis
C epidemics in which five
people died and a further
275 are incurably ill.
Until 1997, Maeso, who
is from a well-known
Valencian family, was a
reputable anaesthetist.
Yesterday, he was sentenced
to 1,933 years in prison and
faces a fine of 20.3 million
euros. An alleged narcotic
addiction led 47-year-old
father-of-two Juan Maeso
to use the chemicals he
prepared to anaesthetise
patients
on
himself
between 1993 and 1998, say
prosecutors.
Before injecting the patient,
Maeso would reportedly
inject himself with a small
amount of the anaesthetic.
Maeso
suffers
from
Hepatitis C, an incurable
liver condition, which he
passed onto many of his
patients.
The accused worked in four
hospitals during this period
and genetic tests carried
out have confirmed links
between his condition and
that of his patients.
Health workers in the
Valencia region reacted
with outrage and disbelief
when the news broke.
Just a few hours after the
judge passed sentence,
Maeso’s most recent victim,
77-year-old Rosa Ros, died
of the condition.
The Valencian teacher was
unable to take prescription
drugs
to
control
the
hepatitis due to contraindications with her other
painkilling medication.
Yet Rosa was one of the
most active members of
the fight for the rights of
Maeso’s victims.
Sufferers’ insurers and the
regional government will
pay the multi-million-euro
compensation if Maeso is
unable to do so, confirms a
Generalitat spokesperson.
However Maeso’s patients’
lives
are
already
irretrievably damaged by
his negligence.
Antonia Muñoz, 69, said she
suffered from depression
as a result and “tried to
take my own life.”
Javier, 57, did not discover
he was infected until
reading the story in a
newspaper. He continues to
see a psychologist, having
lost his job due to the sideeffects of his medication.
LIVERPOOL IGNITES PASSION IN MURCIA
SUBSTATION BLAST: WE TOLD YOU SO
An explosion at an electrical substation in central
Valencia caused uproar
amongst residents who
have been pushing for the
plant to be moved since
2005.
Miraculously, nobody was
hurt in the blast, but substantial property damage
was recorded. Regional ombudsman Emilia Caballero
asked the city council to
move the plant in January.
Authorities now admit they
should have listened to public concerns earlier.
LIVERPOOL STARS: Player Mark Gonzalez meets the fans at La Manga
EXPLOSION: substation in Patraix
The Liverpool football squad arrived in
Spain last Tuesday to confront Milan
in the Champions League final due to
take place on May 23 in Athens. Spanish
manager Rafa Benítez and the rest of
the team are staying in La Manga whilst
training for the final. The team landed in
San Javier airport, greeted by awaiting
fans brandishing autograph books and
cameras. Some lucky fans were able to get
a picture alongside their idols. Perhaps
the sun, the food and a good Spanish
siesta may be the recipe for winning the
Champions League. Let’s hope so.

Protests
Water thrown
over mayoress
Three people have been arrested in Esplugues, Costa
Brava, after throwing water
over the town’s Mayoress.
The individuals were protesting outside the town hall
against plans for a massive
re-development project on
the outskirts of Barcelona.
Two chained themselves to
railings outside the Town
Hall against, whilst a third
threw water on Pilar Díaz
(PSC), the town’s Mayoress, as she was entering the
building.
The Caufec project has been
under review for 16 years.
If given the go-ahead, a 40
hectare area of land in the
district area of Finestrelles
de Esplugues de Llobregat,
in Barcelona’s outskirts, is
set to disappear, and more
than 700 houses, a shopping
centre, four-star hotel, and
two 80-metre high office
blocks, will be built.
The majority of the area’s
residents are against the
project, and local platforms
have denounced the lack of
dialogue between the government and local groups
on the matter.

Lottery wins
for Roca’s kin
The wife and daughter of
Juan Antonio Roca, the jailed adviser and former head
of the Urbanisation department of Marbella town hall
at the heart of Marbella’s
corruption scandal, have
won more than 646,000 euros
over the past few months in
lottery winnings and ONCE
coupons, according to a police report.
Yet the likelihood of the
family winning so much
money was “highly improbable”, and police believe
instead that Juan Antonio
Roca used his own family
to disguise his money laundering activities, although
they deny any involvement
in the case.

mummified body
Espanyol supporters protest
over flight cancellations
A man made a macabre
discovery earlier this

a woman in a flat he had
just bought at auction.
Jordi Giró, resident of
Roses, Girona, discovered
the woman lying on a sofa
when he entered his new
property for the first time
after purchasing it.
The woman, who is believed to have been around
60 years old when she
passed away from natural causes, would have
died six years ago, stated forensic teams.
Her body was well-preserved due to the house’s
proximity to the sea and
the salty air.

State prosecutor
rules out ANV ban
Left-wing separatists free to
stand for elections
Ian Perrins
State prosecutor, Cándido
Conde Pumpido, is ruling
out urging High Court
judge, Baltasar Garzón,
to prevent separatist leftwing ANV party from
standing at the local and
regional elections at the
end of this month, even
after Batasuna leader
Pernando Barrena pub-
licly called on his party’s
supporters to vote for the
ANV.
Justification for the
decision, which will be
raised with president
Zapatero by PP leader,
Mariano Rajoy, dates back
to a Constitutional Tribunal ruling in March 2005
when the banned Aukera
Guztiak urged its supporters to vote for a legitimate
party.
A prosecution service
source explained that it
was decided at that time
that the fact that an illegal
party had urged its voters
to back a legal party does
not constitute grounds to
ban the legal party as the
individual rights of the
members of the illegal
party ‘remain intact’. The
same source went on to
explain: “It would not be
possible to ban the PNV,
for example, if Batasuna’s leaders urged its supporters to vote for them
instead.”
PRESIDENT ZAPATERO
that the Home Office had given the
green light to a massive operation,
in which two of the largest boats in
history would be utilised in patrolling the southern Spanish coastline, as well as providing aid to the
immigrants.
In addition, the office stated it had
intensified repatriation of hundreds
of illegal immigrants, who will be
sent back to Morocco and Mauritania in the next few weeks.
ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS: Landing in the Canary Islands
Guardia Civil
to Afghanistan
Fourteen Guardia Civil officers are to be sent to Afghanistan to help train Afghan police working with

Defence minister, José Antonio Alonso, was quick
to point out that the team
would not be working with
or for US troops, and that
they were on a separate
mission. Soon after the announcement, several people
were injured after a NATO
vehicle was attacked on the
outskirts of Heart, close to
where the Spanish troop
contingent is based.
Panic on
Spanair flight
The pilot of a Spanair
plane decided to turn
round mid-flight as it was
travelling from Gran Canaria to Madrid, after a
North African passenger
tried to enter the cockpit
to greet the pilots.
According to flight crew,
the Moroccan man approached the stewards, asking to introduce himself
and greet the pilot, alleging that he was a pilot
too. Crew asked for identification, but the passenger refused to show his
passport. A decision was
then made to fly back to
Gran Canaria.

Political storm brews
over Formula One
Ecclestone won’t sign
contract until after elections
N
In last week’s paper, as a
result of a misinterpretation of last-minute information, we made an error,
reporting that the Formula One race would come to
Valencia in 2014, when in
actual fact the terms that
Camps and Ecclestone
are negotiating relate to
a series of seven races
starting in 2008 and ending in 2014. At the end of
this period both parties
will have to sit down and
renegotiate the terms of
the project.
Camps sees a done deal; Pla
complains of blackmail
B.Chulvi&S.Walker
Strange though it may
seem, Formula One owner,
Bernie Ecclestone’s influence now reaches as far as
Spain’s regional elections.
Part of the PP’s electoral
strategy has been to announce a Formula One race
through the city’s streets
next year and the project
was presented publicly on
May 10th – just one day before electoral campaigns
were officially allowed to
kick off. The current state
of tension between the two
parties made things difficult from the outset. The
PSPV-PSOE reported the
stunt to the Electoral Council, complaining that the
PP was using the umbrella
heading of “institutional
information” to disguise a
blatant electoral publicity
stunt. The Electoral Council agreed to hear the complaint and gave the two parties until 11am on May 10th
to present allegations, since
the celebration was due to
be held an hour later.
The Electoral Council
could well have used Spanish electoral legislation to
put a halt to proceedings,
however they were undermined at the last minute
when Camps decided to
paint over the Generalitat
Valenciana logo on the mural depicting the future circuit, which was to be used
as the background to that
all-important photo shoot
and brought the celebration
forward an hour to boot, so
that any decision by the
Electoral Council would
have no bearing anyway.
N
In the end there was no
avoiding a scandal, but the
surprise actually came from
Bernie Ecclestone himself.
Making his address, the
British magnate expressed
his appreciation for president Camps and the city’s
mayoress, Rita Barberá and
reiterated his intention to
bring Formula One to the
Valencia’s streets in 2008,
but then surprised his audience by saying that the contract, however, would not be
signed until after the elections. “I don’t believe in
cities, I believe in people,”
pronounced
Ecclestone.
Camps then took up the
challenge and turned Ecclestone’s words to his favour
by saying that he “was glad
Ecclestone was linking his
electoral victory with the
arrival of a Formula One
circuit in Valencia”. From
that point on it was clear it
was going to make the front
pages and Ecclestone was
forced to make a correction: “I didn’t say that I’d
only sign if the PP won the
elections, I said I wanted to
know who I was signing a
contract with before taking
the decision”. These words
have since been interpreted in many ways, but one
thing is clear: the Formula
One issue, as expected, has
become a major one in the
electoral campaign.
True enough, Formula
One had already become an
electoral issue before Ecclestone said what he said, as
Valencian society is very
divided, with a hefty proportion of residents totally
opposed to the idea, however incredible that may
seem to some. Just the day
before Francisco Camps’

JOINING FORCES: Health Minister Rafael Blasco with José Luis Olivas,
Bancaja’s Chief Executive Officer.
Ignasi Pla (PSPV-PSOE) replies:
“Formula 1 yes, but without
the blackmail”
Ecclestone’s statements have made life
particularly difficult for Ignasi Pla.
Pla, the leader of Valencia’s socialists
always wanted the F1 project to go
ahead, but at Cheste rather than in the
city centre, a standpoint also supported
by Spanish F1 champion, Fernando
Alonso, not only for safety reasons,
but also on economic grounds too. Pla
has complained that the Comunitat
Valenciana cannot absorb the cost
of building this circuit (estimated at
between 90 and 120 million euros), saying that “The Generalitat Valenciana is
announcement, a survey by
the Opina institute for Cadena Ser revealed that 60% of
Valencians were against an
urban Formula One circuit.
Rita Barberá said this kind
of result only showed how
little the people knew about
the project. “They’ll change
their minds when they actually see it,” claimed the
Formula One – the economic impact
A study commissioned by the Generalitat Valenciana estimates the average spend per
visitor per stay, excluding the cost of the race ticket, at 470 euros. The Generalitat
has therefore calculated that number of visitors (140,000) multiplied by the average
spend per visitor (470 euros) would generate some 68.15 million euros. According to
the study, this spend would increase output in the city by 143.1 million euros, which in
turn would result in a 70.1-million-euro increase in yield.
The impact the race would have on employment in Valencia has also been calculated
and the Generalitat’s study suggests that some 1,650 new permanent jobs would be
created annually. The study points out that there would be many more jobs than this
during the actual race as well as immediately before and after it, but that the estimated
number of permanent jobs stands at 1,650.
The Generalitat’s study admits that it is difficult to calculate the economic impact of
the raised international profile the city would achieve by staging the race, but pointed
out that a city that hosts the America’s Cup, stages a Formula One race and boasts an
international motor racing circuit like Cheste is unlikely to remain unknown for long.
The race would be broadcast to more than 500 million viewers in over 100 different
countries across the globe.
mayoress. Further, similar proposals have come to
light in the last few days.
Carlos Fabra, president of
the autonomous government with the
highest debts in relation to its GNP, and
Valencia is the city with the highest per
capita debt.” Ecclestone’s bid, however,
is just too high profile, and Pla cannot
afford to look like the one who doesn’t
want to bring Formula 1 to the city. He
has therefore had to change his stance,
agreeing to the idea in principle, but
“without blackmail”. Rather than
come out in criticism of Ecclestone, Pla
has directed the full force of his attack
at Camps and his “electoral stunt”.
the Diputación de Castellón, (the provincial council)
announced plans to build a
Formula One circuit in Les
Coves de Vinromà, a rural
stretch of the province inland from the coast.
Cyclists and America’s Cup
have their say
A group of Valencian cycling clubs have
issued a statement condemning the idea of
a Formula 1 race being held through the
city’s streets. Irrespective of the timing of
the government’s announcement of plans
to build a circuit, the group of cycling
clubs who have signed the statement
believe that “the project is inappropriate,
retrograde and harmful for the majority
of citizens in Valencia. Harmful in the
strictest sense of the word, because noise
levels at a Formula 1 race far exceed those
permitted by statutory health authorities”.
“The excessive noise levels produced by
a live race of this kind,” say the cyclists,
“are far higher than those registered during the exhibition races, and would affect
the whole city and not just the immediate
vicinity.” The cycling clubs also believe
that “an urban circuit is far more dangerous for drivers and spectators alike” and
complain that the promised profits are
only ever seen by specific areas of private
enterprise, whereas the cost of building
the circuit is shouldered by the taxpayers
as a whole. They also pointed out the risk
of copycat high speed driving in the city,
before, during and after the event, something that has been seen on more than one
occasion around Cheste and other Spanish
motor racing circuits.
The issue of building a Formula One
circuit in the city has also been questioned by representatives of the America’s
Cup teams. If Alinghi goes on to win the
Cup again this year, there is a fairly high
chance of Valencia being chosen as the
host city for the next America’s Cup, provided no more work is carried out in the
port area. Although it is not necessarily
the case that the two competitions would
coincide, America’s Cup organisers are
not in favour of both events happening the
same month.

Anaesthetist
with hepatitis
C sentenced to
1,933 years
B.Chulvi&S.Walker
People in Valencia have
been waiting for this verdict ever since the scandal
first broke in 1997. The
anaesthetist, Juan Maeso
Vélez, has at last been sentenced to 1,933 years in prison, of which he will serve
the legal maximum of 20,
for infecting 275 patients
with the hepatitis C virus
during surgery carried out
at four hospitals in Valencia
between 1988 and 1997. According to the indictment,
Maeso passed on the hepatitis C virus by injecting himself with narcotics before
using the same syringes to
anaesthetise his patients.
Hepatitis C is an incurable
liver disease.
The decisive evidence
in the case came from the
genetic analyses of both
Dr Maeso and the patients
affected and the verdict
handed down by the Audiencia de Valencia found
the defendant guilty of 275
cases of wrongful injury
and four cases of negligent
manslaughter. In its sentencing, which was passed
on Tuesday, the court ordered Maeso to pay compensation of almost 20 million
euros to his victims and declared the Ministry of Health officially accountable for
this compensation. Maeso’s

Case history
The story of the massive
spread of hepatitis C in Valencia started towards the
end of 1997, when doctors
from the Telefonica and
Iberdrola friendly societies
demanded an enquiry into
sterilisation methods at
the private Casa de Salud
hospital, having noticed an
increase in cases of hepatitis C amongst patients who
had been treated there. On
February 4th 1998, Casa de
Salud began testing its personnel for the virus. Five
tested positive, including
Juan Maeso, who continued
to work as a surgeon, and
nurse in charge of sterilisation, who was transferred to administration. The
result of the tests linked
one person to the massive
spread of hepatitis C: Juan
Maeso. Soon afterwards,
cases of hepatitis C were
also discovered in the three
other hospitals where Juan
Maeso had worked: La Fe, la
Virgen del Consuelo and the
Clínica Quirón, all in the
city of Valencia.
On April 15, 1998, the regional health authority in Valencia started disciplinary
proceedings against Maeso
for using opiates. The case
ended up being tried in the
criminal courts and Maeso
was first of all suspended
on full pay, but then in 2000,
suspended without pay. In
2004 the Health Service’s
statute for medical staff
was changed, allowing him
to draw a basic salary, with
a security against it for civil responsibility. The first
hearing against Juan Maeso began on September 12,
2005 and ended on February
26, 2007. Both doctors and
nurses have given evidence
at this hearing and, in gene-
ral, the doctors have closed
ranks to protect Maeso, whereas almost all the nursing
staff have been more openly
critical. The overwhelming
evidence, however, came
from the genetic analyses.
The anaesthetist maintains
that he did not know he had
the hepatitis C virus until
1998. The public prosecutor
claims that he has known
about it since 1993.
Dr
Maeso vehemently denies
consuming narcotics. The
public prosecutor has been
equally forthright in his accusation. Maeso is wholly
and personally responsible
for the massive spread of
hepatitis C in four different
Valencian hospitals, having
been found to be the only
common link between all
of them. Genetic analysis
of the virus was used to
identify him and was included in the indictments
against him. There are,
however, two patients involved in the proceedings who
have genotype 1B hepatitis,
whereas Dr Maeso has genotype 1A. There are also
some 40 patients who have
been infected but in whose
medical records a different
anaesthetist’s name appears. The public prosecutor maintains that this does
not prove that Maeso wasn’t
present during surgery. And
there are 60 patients whose
virus shows variations of
between 3 and 11 points in
its DNA sequencing. (Initially only those with a
DNA sequencing variation
of 0 to 3 points were going
to be included in the case.)
Juan Maeso has remained
silent throughout and it is
this silence that has had the
greatest effect on public opinion.
AN EMOTIONAL VERDICT: Victims are relieved that justice has been done
the verdict. He has been
sentenced to seven years
in prison for each case of
wrongful injury and two
years for each case of negligent manslaughter. In
his sentencing, the prosecutor reiterated that the
maximum sentence Maeso
could serve was 20 years
in total. The compensation
that Maeso, or ultimately
the Ministry of Health, has
been ordered to pay comes
to almost a million euros.
Actual amounts vary between 49,065 euros for the
widow and children of one
victim, 150,000 for the descendants of one of the four
fatal victims and global
amounts of 60,000, 75,000,
Who is Juan Maeso?
Juan Maeso Vélez, now 63, comes from a
prominent Valencian family. He studied
medicine in Madrid and from there went
on to Toledo in the 1960s. He did his military service alongside his university career and having reached the rank of lieutenant, applied for a position in the Gómez
Ulla military hospital in Madrid. He was
awarded the position, but never took it
up. When Valencia’s Hospital La Fe was
opened, Maeso was part of the original
team. A few months later he moved to the
military hospital in Quart de Poblet (Valencia) as a duty doctor in the intensive
care unit.
Maeso married and had three children,
but separated from his wife over ten years
ago. He has several grandchildren. He
went from general practitioner to chief
anaesthetist at La Fe’s maternity unit, via
gynaecology, orthopaedics and surgery.

makes him liable for costs,
was reached by unanimous
vote.
Victims’ reaction
Surgical anaesthesia ended up being his
speciality and he became known as one of
best anaesthetists in the region. In 1988,
the military hospital reported him for
leaving his post while on duty. Maeso defended his actions, maintaining that there
was no-one in intensive care at the Quart
de Poblet hospital when he left there to attend an emergency in La Fe. The courtmartial eventually dropped the charge.
After this, Maeso moved from the military
hospital to the private Casa de Salud in Valencia, where he continued to work until
the massive hepatitis C outbreak was discovered. Those who know him describe
him as an introvert lacking in social skills.
He did not attend many work functions
and spent his free time practising dangerous sports, attending football matches or
going on motorcycle holidays.
The Unión de Consumidores de la Comunidad Valenciana (Valencian Consumers’ Association), which
represented 18 of the victims, is pleased with the verdict and with the fact that
the Generalitat Valenciana
bears ultimate responsibility when it comes to ‘guaranteeing
compensation
for the victims’. However,
their lawyer, Ernesto Hernández Barquero, pointed
out that victims had been
awarded much less compensation than they had asked
for. The president of the
ombudsman El Defensor del
Paciente, Carmen Flores,
was also happy with the
verdict and the fact that her
association had succeeded
in bringing this case to the
public’s attention.
Electrical explosion
in Patraix area
An explosion at an electrical substation in Patraix on
Tuesday was the last straw
for residents who have been
campaigning for it to be
shut down for many years.
Valencia city council and
the Ministry for Industry
have finally admitted their
error in not listening to
those living nearby and
agreeing to move the plant
away from any residential
areas.
They say the substation
should have been at least
two kilometres away from
any houses.
The explosion, the causes
of which are as yet unknown, created clouds of
toxic smoke and caused
chunks of the outer wall
and shards of glass to rain
down on nearby buildings.
Only 30 metres separate the
plant from the residential
area of town, townspeople
complain.
Joan Clos, Minister for Industry, has stressed that
the centre will be moved as
soon as possible.
Valencia mayoress Rita
Barberá has ordered the
closure of the substation
as a precautionary measure, and electricity board
Iberdrola is currently supplying power to 50,000
affected householders from
other plants.
Patraix residents say there is a risk of similar incidents in La Alameda, a
highly sought-after suburb
of Valencia where the city
council plans to build another substation.
Already, La Alameda residents are up in arms.
The Patraix plant’s operating licence describes the
centre’s activities as ‘innocuous and not dangerous’.
Sources from Iberdrola confirm the substation met all
the requirements laid down
by the city council of Valencia when it was opened, including a study into its impact on the environment.

Shops ‘losing
profits’ over
roadworks
Revamp works on Gandia’s
main boulevard are causing headaches for retailers. Shopkeepers complain
that the modernisation of
Passeig de les Germanies,
which has been ongoing
since summer 2006, are
causing them to lose business. They criticise the
council’s planning of the
works, saying constructions are at times pulled
down after being built because of design faults.
Those near the hospital
and the Ausiàs March High
School halfway down the
Passeig on the roundabout
are suffering the most.
Flooding is a problem during heavy rain, as well as
noise, dust and traffic jams
plus difficulty in parking
on the main street.
Small business owners in
the area say the mayor, José
Manuel Orengo (PSOE) has
agreed to meet with them to
discuss the issue and hinted that he was aware the
works were ‘disastrous’.
However, requests for a reduction in council tax to
reflect the inconvenience
were denied, and the local
authority insists the works
are being carried out to the
required timescale.

‘No turning back’ for
new railway track
Gandia-Dénia train line full
speed ahead in two months
Samantha Kett
The long-awaited GandiaDénia train will be back on
track, the central government assures.
After more than three
decades, the two provincial
capitals of Valencia and
Alicante will be united,
without the need to make
the 30-kilometre stretch
through La Safor and La
Marina Alta by bus.
Spain’s ministry of public works has ‘challenged’
the regional government
to sign an agreement to
start the works, stressing
Madrid’s ‘willingness’ to
speed the process along.
Planners remain unsure of exactly where the
track will be laid. However,
Oliva’s mayor, Salvador
Fuster (PSOE) says “there is no turning back” and
that within two months,
authorities “will be talking
about where the track will
go and alternative plans”.
Oliva’s former railway
track ran through what is
now the main Paseo.
As yet, however, no concrete date has been given for
when the train line will be
up and running, although it
is eagerly awaited.
Animal cruelty
arrest shoot-out
Guardia Civil officers were
shot at when they attempted to arrest a Guadassuar
man for ill-treating his 27
dogs. The force’s environmental wing, SEPRONA,
say the animals were kept
loose in a yard in extremely
poor conditions.
Three of the dogs, who were
severely underfed, had already died before officers
reached the premises.
Police were alerted by an
animal protection group,
which had received numerous complaints from nearby residents concerned for
the dogs’ state of health.
Neighbours say the dogs’
owner appeared to suffer
from a mental illness.
Police discovered dozens
of pistols, revolvers, axes,
swords, bows and arrows,
hunting rifles and more
than a hundred bullets.
When they tried to inspect
the premises, the owner
pulled out a revolver from
beneath his clothes and
fired repeatedly at the officers. However, the cartridges turned out to be blanks.
Police were able to pin the
man down and handcuff
him. He remains under
strict police and psychiatric observation in La Ribera hospital in Alzira.

More than half of residents
in La Ribera Alta and Ribera Baixa who suffer from
high blood pressure are
failing to take responsibility for their health, warn
experts from the district
hospital in Alzira.
Dr Vicente Palop claims 50
per cent of his patients stop
taking their medication after six months.
He describes these findings
as “worrying, because it
presents more complications for them in terms of
health and also an increase
in healthcare costs that
could be avoided.”
Palop says numerous high
blood-pressure
sufferers
come off their pills after six
months because they start
to feel better in themselves.
Yet they should continue to
take their medication until
they are told otherwise by
their doctor.
According to the Alzira hospital specialist, high blood
pressure is a condition that
has no real cure, and more
than two-thirds of those
aged over 65 suffer from it.
On Monday, May 14, Inter-
national High Blood Pressure Day saw doctors from
all over the area joining in
a campaign to raise awareness of preventing high
blood pressure, such as a
diet low in salt and moderate exercise to keep arterial
tension at healthy levels.
Generally, hypertension is
diagnosed when blood pressure rises above 140 over
90.
For high-risk categories,
such as diabetics and those
with heart problems, this
figure falls to 130 over 80.

Disturbing gas pipes
Mains gas is a dream for
many people here on the
coast, but not when the
pipes go through your back
garden and do not allow you
to do anything on your land.
The latest proposal from
the energy department in
Alicante plans to put more
than 20 kilometres of gas
pipes between Jávea and
Calpe underground. In the
future the pipes may be connected to the gas pipe that is
coming in from the Balearic
Islands. The pipe will affect
450 people in Jávea, Benitachell, Teulada, Moraira,
Benissa, Senija and Calpe.
Benissa is the worst affected town with 236 property
owners. The plans show
that the pipe will cross the
areas of Canor, Vinyent and
Benimarreig.
The gas company Endesa
proposed to either expropriate the property owners or impose a permanent
easement along the underground pipe. It will be four
metres wide, two on each
side of the pipe. In addition
to this, the land owners will
not be permitted to do any
kind of construction work
that could disturb or infringe the pipes in the five
metres on each side of the
pipes. Farmers will only be
allowed to use the land up to
50 centimetres deep and at
least two metres away from
it, so they cannot plant any
trees or bushes along the
pipe work.

For the last 20 years, the

One of the key zones that
have caused many debates
in the past are the Salinas,
the salt lake. It is currently

Serna also promises bicycles
paths and an improved network for public transport.
The Peñón de Ifach was
declared a natural park on
May 11, 1987. It had taken
the government in Valencia
and the local mayor Violeta
Ribera four long years of negotiations to achieve their
goal.
Jávea is opening its new
vocational college for some
specialist apprenticeships
in the region. It will be the
only centre in the Marina
Alta for geriatrics, advanced IT and a course that
combines make-up, hair
styling and aesthetic beauty treatment. The courses
will be offered in a special
hall of the institute No. 1.
This was the message of
the councillor for education, María Iglesias, at her
final political appearance
before her retirement.
While she was councillor,
the nursery in Duanes was
built, and the preparation
for the construction of the
sixth primary school was
finalised. This year all the
schools have seen a lot of
renovation work, and the
Escuela Permanente de
Adultos now has two computer rooms, so that not-soyoung ones can learn how
to work a computer and access the Internet.
Unfortunately this has used
up most of the budget. For
the rest of the year, only
5,000 euros are left.
However, Marina Alta does
not have its own centre of
the Escuela Oficial de Idiomas. For the first three years
students can attend the classes in Jávea and Dénia, but
from the fourth year classes
are only in Benidorm, so
every day about 250 people
commute for their lessons.
The councillor is convinced
that the Marina Alta should
have its own centre.
After six months the renovation work of the castle
and the water cistern in
Moraira has now been completed. The exterior walls
of the castle, watchtower
and cistern were thoroughly cleaned and the exterior
illumination was repaired.
The castle has the shape of
a horseshoe with a rounded
front on the south side overlooking the bay of Moraira.
The castle had a small platform in front of it that people could only access via a
drawbridge. Built in the
17th century it was used
as a fort until the middle
of the 19th century. In 1983
it was declared a cultural
monument.

Effects on
fishing area
New home for old
people in Teulada
Cornelia Muller
The planned gas pipeline
between Dénia and the Balearic Islands could cause
severe problems to the local
fishing industry. Although
in many places it would be
as deep down as 700 metres
below the surface, it would
only be put under ground
in the first 50 metres off
the coast.
The local fishermen,
who fish the waters up and
down the coast, would not
be able to cast their nets in
their usual fishing grounds
any longer.
With less fish in the Med
and stricter fishing regulations and the rising fuel
prices they struggle to survive.
If the gas pipeline is installed in its planned location fishermen would have
to sail out much further
to find safe grounds. They
could not fish as long as
they used to do. At times
MAYOR JOSÉ CISCAR: Confirmed opening
PIPELINES: Disruption to fishing grounds
it takes up to two hours
alone to cast the nets. What
is worse, the gamba roja,
the red prawn, used in paella dishes and which Calpe,
Jávea and Dénia are famous
for could not be fished at
all, since they only live in
certain limited areas on the
pipeline route.
The fishing association
of local fishermen have now
sought legal aid to fight for
their survival. They are not
against the gas pipeline, but
they request that the pipeline does not cross their
grounds and hinder them
during their work.
A little later than planned,
the new residence for old
people in Teulada will open
in July, the mayor José Ciscar confirmed when he visited the construction site
earlier this week.
It will have 180 spaces, 140
for residents and 40 for day
patients. All of them will
have a fantastic view of the
bay in Moraira.
It is triangular and has
three storeys. In the central
area general services are
located, such as the medical practices for the doctors, the psychologist and
the social workers, as well
as meeting rooms, a cafeteria, administrative offices,
a chemist, social rooms and
a canteen. There will also
be a clinic, a hairdresser’s,
a laundrette, oxygen room
and special toilets equipped
for the elderly.
The bedrooms are in separate wings.
The land that used to be
privately owned was ceded
to the town hall. Due to administrative difficulties it
took longer than expected
to finish the project that is
now nearing completion.

Smelly old
town
Sewage is accumulating in
Baix la Mar in Dénia due to
a faulty sewer system.
After nearly one year of
completing works to turn
historic district Baix La
Mar into a pedestrian zone,
residents are still being
forced to put up with various problems.
Spokesperson for the Els
Verds, Toni Roderic, stated
that sewage needs to be
regularly cleared from the
system as it is faulty: “The
pipes are cleared every ten
days as waste is accumulating. In the meantime, residents are having to put up
with the bad smells. This
problem has been brought
about by the works carried
out by the council to rehabilitate the district.”
Works in Baix la Mar commenced in January 2005,
and were due for completion within an 8-month
time period, but were not
even completed until last
summer.
Unfortunately
the problem may be made
worse with the rising temperatures over the coming
summer, unless the continuing fault is identified and
rectified.

integrated into the community. They have their own councillor and we
have set up an office that is totally dedicated to attend to their needs.
Furthermore, in collaboration with the provincial council, we lay on
Spanish classes, lectures as well as a wide variety of social activities.
What about tourism...
We have improved customer service and the quality of information
provided. This has been achieved by the council department responsible or, directly, by taking part in trade shows, producing more
materials highlighting our touristic resources such as the excellent
‘Gastronomic Guide’ or the recently-published booklets about our
emblematic ‘Medieval Tower’.
T
hese days, when one returns to Alcalalí, in the very heart of
the beautiful Vall de Pop, one is surprised by the changes
that have been taking place. What is doubly surprising is
that it has nothing to do with new residential estates, golf course
developments or imposing tourist complexes, but advances made
in improving existing infrastructure or building new facilities, which
in just two or three years, have significantly enhanced our quality
of life, demonstrating, without the need for flowery or demagogic
electoral promises, that the council is being governed effectively.
To find out more about why this is the case in Alcalalí, the best
thing to do is to ask council leader, mayor José Vicente Marcó
Mestre, who represents the Partido Popular. A musician by trade,
humble, extrovert and one of the friendliest men you could meet,
he is hugely passionate about his town, its traditions, its people and
the surrounding countryside...
How would you rate your four years as mayor?
Positively. Thanks to the hard work of everyone at the Town Hall, civil servants and technicians alike, we have managed to achieve most
of the projects required by the public and have made improvements
in all areas. This has only been possible with the collaboration of the
local population, whose patience and understanding in light of some
of the inconveniences involved in bringing these changes about,
must not be forgotten.
Are you satisfied with the very obvious progress made in Alcalalí?
Any mayor worth his salt can never be satisfied with the achievements made in his town, no matter how good these may be. It
9
is true that Alcalalí seemed to be lethargic, half asleep, and we
have managed to wake it up. Although things are going well, we
are very aware that the hard work and struggle must continue if
we are going to provide new services and improve the quality of
those we already offer.
If you were asked to choose your most important achievement
since becoming mayor, which would it be?
It is difficult to pick out one project out of all those undertaken.
Each project has responded to a concrete need, and the stated aim
does not always correlate to the size of the investment, although
in other cases it has been possible to bring about important
improvements at very little cost. The task of listing them all would
be, thank God, a long and tiring job, so much so that we have put
together and circulated a ‘Management Report’ that is illustrated
with more than seventy photos and diagrams to show the situation ‘before’ and ‘after’ each of the projects was carried out.
What do you think about European residents, and how are they
viewed?
In Alcalalí, we no longer tend to use the term “European residents” simply because they are just like everyone else and fully
Let us imagine that you carry on as mayor of Alcalalí. Which public
works projects will be given priority?
To restore the old oil mill to convert it into the ‘Oil and Wine Museum’;
to restore the old Cooperative building for use as the new Town Hall;
to build a new gymnasium at the sports centre...
And what about the new cultural centre that will also serve as a
social centre?
Next week. Yes, yes. This photo taken just a few weeks ago, which we
included in the ‘Management Report’, shows the skeleton of the new
‘Multi-use Centre’ that will open for business very soon. This project,
like the many areas in which we have achieved improvements, such as
the superb restoration of the ‘Medieval Tower’, are the product of the
hard work and dedication of a team with no other thought in mind but
to serve the needs of the local people who trusted us with their votes
last time round. But we understand that we shall be judged by our
deeds rather than our words, and the same people must now deliver
their verdict after reviewing all the facts.
Are you going to continue?
That is really not my decision, but depends precisely on the verdict of
the townspeople, who are too intelligent not to be able to distinguish
between the achievements of a team capable of delivering them, and
what are simply promises from those with nothing else to offer.

criminal offences committed
by Benidorm mayor, Manuel
Pérez Fenoll. Alicante attorney, José Antonio Romero,
has requested information
about alleged irregularities
concerning the new bus station built by the state-funded
Enrique Ortiz company as
part of the ‘Avanza Plan’, be
sent to him “as urgently as
possible.” It is alleged that
Telefonica was awarded the
contract without it being
put out to public tender. The
complaint is based on information published in the
Semanario Canfali de Benidorm entitled ‘Telefonica’s
alleged windfall served up’.
An insider believes that the
inquiry is part of a general
witch hunt against the PP engineered at the highest level
within the Spanish state.

Foreign candidates
only a token gesture
Sergi Castillo
Of the 65 lists of candidates
for local elections in the Marina Baixa area, only two
are headed by foreigners,
which represent just over
3% of the total. The number
one candidate for the Esquerra
Unida-Esquerra
Verda-Izquierda
Republicana coalition in Altea is
Wolf Bodo Ernst Schimitz,
who is German. As is Elena
Mulgsenberg Stoffer, who is
standing for the Green Party in L’Alfàs del Pi, where
there are more foreign residents registered with the
Town Hall than Spanish.
However, out of nine lists of
candidates only one is headed by a foreigner, and in the
majority of the lists the inclusion of foreigners is little
more than a token gesture.
In Benidorm, there are
no foreigners in the PP or
PSOE lists, and only one
or two in the other parties’
lists. There are no foreign
surnames at all on any of
the lists for La Vila Joiosa. In an effort to capture
votes, some independent
parties make much of their
pluralistic
credentials,
although in most cases
these are little more than a
sham. This is obviously the
case with the Community
of European Citizens, for
example, given that only
two of their candidates are
not Spanish. One of their
star projects is a proposal
for an information office
“with staff capable of
speaking the seven most
spoken languages in the
town: Spanish, Valencian,
English, Norwegian, German, Dutch and French,”
explained the party’s mayoral candidate, Isabel Davó.
“It’s true that these are not
all the languages heard in
our town, but they are the
most widely used, and will
serve as our starting point
to bring the Town Hall closer to our social reality,” she
continued. The candidate

for Altea, Wolf Bodo Ernst
Schimitz, is 62 years old
and a doctor by profession.
He has only been a member
of the Esquerra Unida for
two years, but was seen by
party bosses as the perfect
candidate to stand for mayor of a town with such a
high proportion of foreign
residents. “The truth is that
most people who attend my
clinic tend to vote for more
conservative parties, but
the time has come to nail
my colours to the mast.”
His manifesto is based on
participation, which he
wants to achieve “by creating platforms for residents
to express their points of
view”.
Thousands reject urban development in La Vila
Around 2,000 people –5,000
according to the organisers and 500 according to the
Local Police– took part in
a demonstration in La Vila
Joiosa last Thursday, the
slogan for which was ‘La
Vila is not for sale’. It was
jointly organised by the
Residents Platform against
the General Plan and the
personnel department of
the local hospital. Demonstrators demanded that the
Partido Popular –which enjoys an absolute majority
on the town council– “immediately withdraw” the
urban development plan
and builds a free public
car park in the grounds of
the hospital. Although two
separate
demonstrations
were originally planned,
the organisers decided to
unite under a common slogan. Among the protesters
were representatives of the
Abusos Urbanísticos NO
collective from all over the
region. Also present were
leaders of PSOE, the Bloc
Nacionalista and the Independant Initiative in the
Marina Baixa.

Keys to the conflict
The protest united those unhappy with the new PGOU,
(who collected more than 4,000 signatures in support
of the proposed amendments), and those against plans
to privatise hospital parking, (who collected more than
10,000 signatures a few months ago).

taxes or moving a whole school to make way for a new
residential estate.

times to 137,448, is approved
pending final amendments.
The document authorises
the construction of 25,671
new homes in three new
developments, and the
construction of three golf
courses, leaving no room
for further expansion and
placing a serious strain on
limited water supplies. The
approval process has been
dogged by various scandals
including the resignation
of the architect responsible for drafting the plan,
court cases, and countless
cases of businessmen with
close ties to the PP buying
up reclassified land based
on leaked information.
Meanwhile, the plan to
privatise hospital parking
will cost patients, visitors
and staff €35 euros per day.
The hospital is on the outskirts of the town and the
only way to get there from
the eighteen local towns
and villages is by car. The
PP did everything to stop
the demonstration, alleging
that it was politically moti-
vated. Socialist spokesman,
Gaspar Lloret, complained
about the undemocratic attitude of the Local Police,
who, “following the mayor’s
orders confiscated the materials handed out that morning by the personnel staff.”
Mayor Llorca Senabre issued statements in the days
leading up to the march to
undermine the leaders of
the PGOU protest, or in the
case of the hospital staff, to
buy them off with promises
of subsidies for workers
registered in La Vila.

Camp d’Elx fair’s
traditional taste
The 12th edition of Camp
D’Elx fair encourages city
residents and those who live
in outlying rural areas to
get together.
The municipal area of Elche
is one of the most extensive
in all Spain.
Esperanza Blanc
Of Elche’s current population of 228,294 inhabitants,
37,525 have established
their main residence in one
of the 33 outlying districts
of the city. All in all, over
the last eleven years a genuine “exodus” towards the
countryside of Elche has
been under way, led mainly
by young people. Some of
them live in major urban
centres, others in smaller
communities with hardly
any population but strong
roots in the history and customs of Elche.

project – a modern five-star
tourist complex located in
the Hondo Nature Reserve,
ready in 2008.
City Council, decided to
launch an activity capable
of bringing together this
group of people with unique
roots and customs. The
“12th Annual Camp D’Elx
Days of Culture and Study,”
which took place last week,
has as its goal encouraging
urban residents and people
who live in outlying rural
areas to get together and
get to know one another.
This time, for the fourth
consecutive year, the country came to town and the
days were celebrated on
the Paseo de la Estación.
An area of 4,000 square
metres was set aside for
eleven marquees where a
multitude of activities unfolded led by social, school

and neighbourhood associations from the area and
public and private entities.
Tastings, gastronomy of the
region, showcases of local
businesses and other events
were enjoyed by all. Mayor
Diego Macià explained that
the Days are celebrated in
the heart of the city so that
in addition to the people
from outlying districts “the
residents of the urban centre can get closer to the tra-
ditions and culture of the
Camp d’Elx”. The mayor
stressed that the fair is also
“a meeting ground to allow
people who sometimes live
very far from one another,
to have the chance to get to
know one another and exchange experiences.”
The big musical event
was an opening night concert by award winning musician Miguel Bosé.
Boy found strangled in Elche
children’s home
The first tests undertaken
in relation to the investigation into the death of an
11-year-old boy in a children’s home in Elche last
week indicate accidental
death by asphyxiation. The
youth was found on the
floor of his room tangled
in the strap of the Persian
blind at around 5.30pm, according to sources close to
the centres. The incident
took place after a normal
day studying at El Pla state
school. Alerted when the
boy did not come down for a
snack, workers at the centre
run by the O’Belen Foundation went looking for him
and found him dead. The
child, orphaned since 2005,
lived at the centre together
with his older brother and
both kept up their family

Parents of autistic
children complain
about a teacher

Ecologists have criticised
Lorente, a PP representative
in the running for Mayoress
of Orihuela; for pretending
to defend the protection of
the Sierra Escalona. The
association for the protection of Escalona, yesterday

for Orihuela, Mónica Lorente, of “cynicism” towards a
show of being environmentally friendly, upon making
a statement at a press conference last Monday, joined
by area councillor, Esteban
González; stating that the
“Parque Natural de Sierra
Escalona” and “Dehesa de
Campoamor”, are one some
of the Comunitat Valenciana most natural enclosures
and must be protected.
The ASE have contested
that Lorente is a hypocrite

she indeed had voted and

backed for the construction and development of

a few years previous, thus
it would involve the destruction of over 3 million
square metres of land for
the purpose of building a
golf course and houses.
“She does not appear to be
coherent of her declarations, simply saying what she
thinks what you want to

Four students with special
educational needs from a
public school, El Acequión,
Torrevieja have remained
absent for seven days. The
parents of the children
claim that certain problems ought to be addressed in
the school, namely the development of the educative
system to cope with autistic
children. There is a conflict
of interest within the school
as teachers are defending
their rights, while the parents are concerned as to
the development of their
children’s tutoring and wish
to improve their knowledge
and guidance. The heads of
the centre have so far made
no comment. Representatives of the APA, parents and
students, would like to apologise publicly for causing
any inconvenience, however, their wish is to be able
to make improvements and
they are merely striving for
better communication.

Cala de La Mosca: natural
beauty spot under threat
1,700
housing
units could put
an end to Cala de
La Mosca as we
know it
Alicia Negre
There exists a place between
the coastal zone of Torrevieja and its counterpart
in Orihuela where it is still
possible to look out and see
the sea. A series of cliffs and
coves shape the outline of
this location, which is becoming an exception to the
rule in a landscape where
development potential clearly holds sway. Its survival
as a natural space is now
threatened.
1,700 housing units could
put an end to Cala de La Mosca as we know it. The development project in this natural spot has divided the main
political parties of Orihuela
into two distinct camps.
The Partido Popular (PP),
currently in control of the
government in Orihuela, approved a measure authorising construction in the area
on February 13. In spite of
the conservative party being
the only one supporting this
project, the absolute majority it enjoys in the Orihuela
City Council allowed it to
approve the project. It is the
second phase of the Alameda del Mar project, a largescale development project
right on the seafront.
On the other side, the
Socialist Party (PSOE) has
been completely opposed to
this proposed construction
from day one and has risen
up as a stout defender of
what they consider to be the
last stronghold of undeveloped land on the Orihuela
coast. This party has taken
CALA DE LA MOSCA: Last remaining unexploited site of natural coastal beauty
many steps to try and stop
this project. The Orihuela
PSOE first introduced an
appeal to reverse these
building plans, which was
rejected in a full meeting
of the city council session
shortly thereafter. The overriding of that appeal was
caused by the PP’s votes
once again, however, joined
in this case by those of the
Centro Liberal (CL) as well.
Nonetheless, the Socialist Party, drawing support
from the rest of the oppo-
sition parties, continued to
put up obstacles to prevent
the building plans from getting under way. A contentious-administrative appeal
is the next step considered
by the party.
Given its opposition to
construction in Cala de la
Mosca, the Valencia Region
Socialist Party (PSPV) has
filed a complaint against
this project with Antonio
Vercher, the public prosecutor of the Environment and
Urban Planning section of
the State Public Prosecutor
Office (FGE). The grounds
cited by the party were
based on the alleged lack of
an environmental impact
report, which they demanded be investigated.
The State Public Prosecutors Office sent this case to
the public prosecutor office
of the province of Alicante,
who took on the responsibility of asking for information from the Orihuela City
Council, currently headed
by José Manuel Medina. In
his report, the prosecutor
from Alicante emphasized
the existence of protected
species within the area, a
total of seven to be precise.
This data was included after
an inspection carried out by
the Nature Protection Service (SEPRONA).
The socialist candidate for
mayor of Orihuela, Antonia
Moreno, has placed Cala de
la Mosca at the centre of her
electoral programme. It is
one of the issues marking
the present-day state of affairs prior to the next city
elections on May 27. Last
week at a campaign rally,
Moreno specifically promised that if she managed to
become the new mayor of
Orihuela, she would immediately paralyze construction at Cala de La Mosca to
protect the coastal area.

Rafael Vives Pertusa,
MAYOR OF DAYA VIEJA AND TOP
CANDIDATE FOR THE NEXT ELECTIONS
“I want a green and safe Daya Vieja”
At only 23 years of age,
Rafael Vives Pertusa started
working for his home town,
Daya Vieja. For eight years he
was the councillor for fiestas
and culture, which gave him
the necessary experience to
become the mayor of the village in the last legislative
period. And he is a natural!
Now at 34, he is again the
top candidate for the next
legislative period. His aim is
to improve life in this sunny
and tranquil place.
Anybody, who is
approaching the village,
can see that this small
place is growing. A lot of
foreigners live here. What
have you done for them?
“Until the 90s Daya Vieja
had about 200 inhabitants,
the majority of which were
elderly people. Nearly all of
the young people had left to
study or work in a city. I was
no exception, I was working
away from home. But in the
beginning of the 90s I decided together with a group of
other young people, to start
working here and make sure
that Daya Vieja would not
disappear from the map. We
started working alongside the
then mayor; we focused on
the revival of our traditions,
fiestas and local culture.
There were also less and less
people who worked the fields,
there was hardly anybody left
who knew how to do it.
Well, we started this project
in 1995, and ever since then
have set ourselves the goal to
turn the village into an interesting place to live, visit and
celebrate the fiestas. In 1998
or 1999 he first foreign people
arrived to live here, they integrated easily into the local
society. They were a group of
about 40 people, and happily
shared their lives with us. It
was a great complement for
us when they moved here;
they have contributed a lot to
our village. After the changes
of the General Plan for Urban
Management the borders of
the village were extended
and made space for another
1,200 homes. This development was initiated in 2003
when I became mayor. We
have introduced a number of
measures, not only for more
houses in the village, but also
to make life here attractive
beyond the tranquillity and
sun of a small village.
We have opened a cultural
centre with a library, and a
tele-centre with free Internet
access. For the last four years
we have offered Spanish
courses for foreign residents.
We have made an effort to
integrate the customs of our
foreign neighbours into our
fiestas. Now we celebrate
the Día del Residente, the
day of the resident. On this
day they show us how they
celebrate their fiestas, let’s
say in England. They prepare
typical dishes and we have a
good time together.
We also play sports together.
Every year we have a football
match, Spain against England.
The Spanish team consists of
people who were born here,
the English team are obviously
English people, but they are
now people from Daya Vieja.
On the day we play the national anthems; it is an important
act in our village.
We work very well and we
are very happy with them.
They contribute a lot to us:
ideas, illusions, love ... I think
they also feel that life in Daya
Vieja is becoming better every
day. We have created new
spaces, squares and an open
air auditorium, where we
hold our cultural events in the
summer. There is also a summer cinema, every Thursday
in August we show two films
with English subtitles.
There are new sports facilities; we have a Petanca court
and new swimming pools. We
also have a new football pitch
with artificial lawn, which is
being finished at the moment. I
have already been asked if the
teams can prepare it for the
next Spain-England match.
We have a new recreational
area, with BBQ’s. This week
on May 15, we celebrated
the Saint’s Day of San Isidro,
the saint of the farmers. We
cooked a giant paella for 500
people; the foreign residents
came and ate with us and
invited their friends from home
to join us for the day, too.
Wine and beer were free.
At the moment we are working on the consolidation of the
village centre. We are enlarging it slightly up to the municipal pools, and we are going to
create a large municipal park
with 7,000 square metres. We
hope this will be the new
Central Park of Daya Vieja.
We have, of course, also
improved the square, have
pedestrianised some areas,
so that people can really enjoy
these quiet sunny mornings
in Daya Vieja. We have a new
local police. Until 2004 we
did not have our own policemen, now we have two. For
a village with 500 residents
it is very good coverage in
the area. We work with the
Guardia Civil in Dolores, and
plan to have more policemen
in a few years.
These are only some of the
projects we are working on.
We are planning to create
a cultural centre for young
people. Not only retired people come to live here, but
also young families with children. We are glad to welcome younger people here,
they work here and their children go to school here. They
bring new life to the village.
We are planning to create a
Youth centre with a municipal
nursery.
Another project we have for
the future is a closed auditorium, this is part of our
electoral programme. This
is a space the village needs
to host music concerts and
other cultural events in the
winter.”
Apart from this wide service
offer, what do you think, the
foreigners look for and find
here in Daya Vieja?
“I think, they have come
here because we have made
sure that all the development
until now has been sustainable. The area is attractive;
we offer quality. There are
9,000 square metres of green
zones. We have a lot of parking spaces. The village is
close to the sea. It is easy
to stay in Daya Vieja and go
to the beach every day. We
have maintained our traditional cuisine and customs. I
think these are our trumps.”
ENVIRONMENT
Is the conservation of the
farmland and the green land
a priority for you and your
team?
“Yes. With the new land
development law, the town
hall has the possibility to own
large pieces of farmland. We
want to protect our farming
tradition, continue growing
artichokes and other crops
that used to be cultivated
here. I think it is important
to intensify the farming in a
concentrated area. This way
we not only protect our farmers, but also the environment.”
Would you describe Daya
Vieja as an alternative to all
those villages and towns
with large urbanisations that
grow endlessly and do not
respect the environment?
“We want to conserve these
spaces and keep Daya Vieja
green. We are aware that
we need to protect our local
indigenous plants, and that
we need to save the little
water we have. We have
special green area, there
are areas with lawns, which
people like a lot. It reminds
them of their gardens at
home.
In the new access roundabouts, however, we are going
to put in artificial lawn.”
PUBLIC SAFETY
Public safety is becoming
more and more important in
this region. Is Daya Vieja a
safe place?
“Yes, it is safe. We have only
seen some petty theft, and in
many cases this is down to the
carelessness of the people.
But overall, we do not have
any crime here. I can say that
Daya Vieja is a tranquil spot,
and that we can guarantee
safety. I think this is another
strong point for the village.”
ELECTIONS
You are standing in the
next elections. How do
you feel about it?
“Yes, I am standing again
after four years as mayor
in the town hall. I want to
continue my work and create nice spaces here and live
among everybody, because
I think this is the job of the
mayor of Daya Vieja.”

The problem of where to
put the rubbish in the Vega
Baja region does not seem
any nearer to being resolved. Some new moves by
the principal players have
taken place over the last few
days. One of them, The ‘La

up of numerous entities,
has demanded that the Provincial Council immediately suspend the tender for
these controversial works
and instead start a general
societal debate regarding
the project of managing the
solid waste materials in the
area. This group, which has
been gaining in importance
and power recently, argues
it is scandalous to try and
carry out the tendering and
awarding for these works
when the Administration
has not even clearly defined
where the exact location of
this plant for the region will
be. That is a location, main-

decided through social dialogue. Other issues widely
commented on in the last
few days included the lack
of a base budget price for
the tendering and of classification of the businesses in
the running. The ‘La Vega
Baja’ Is Not for Sale committee is clearly surprised by
this state of affairs as this is
a major, long-term project.
The nearness of the upcoming municipal elections
on May 27, the association
warns, accentuates this
problematic situation even
more. On the other hand, the
Torrevieja Izquierda Unida
(IU), headed by its spokesman, José Manuel Martínez Andreu, has likewise
requested the Provincial
Council to rule out the possibility of placing the rubbish plant within the town
limits of Torrevieja. The
group argues that putting it
within the town limits could
damage the Lagoons of La
Mata and Torrevieja Nature
Reserve.
In a related story, last Thursday a fire broke out in the
dump located between the
towns of Abanilla and La
Murada in the city limits
of Orihuela. The fire set off
alarms, caused a big cloud of
smoke visible from far away
and created a great deal of
concern among the inhabitants. The residents feared
another toxic incident similar to the one in 2005, which
also resulted from a fire and
in addition caused the death
of a labourer. Although no
one had any great losses to
lament this time, the incident reawakened the debate

members of my cabinet firmly believe that would continue to improve the quality of life to
all our citizens.
This program intends to clear the table regarding all services for the community and implementing guaranteed infrastructures, fundamental for San Fulgencio and it’s citizens. Such is the case for the introduction of a functioning office working within the urbanisations that will offer multi-lingual staff, to cater for all needs and requirements. Improving
conditions of the streets themselves, creating roads, sidewalks; renovating and installing street furniture, fixtures, such as lighting and
on the whole bettering the neighbourhood whilst applying clearer road signs and improving access to the town.
We also aim to build a Sports centre with a heated swimming pool, courts where people can play Pàddel, Frontòn, and a bowling
alley. We will continue to develop social and cultural activities aimed towards those wishing to enjoy their twilight years. For example, a gymnasium specifically for the mature citizens only, including dances and so forth to name but a few. Our biggest intention
is to install a 24 hour medical team on stand by within a residential home. The matter of security which we wish to sub-delegate and
collaborate with, via the government, in order to put in to place, a squad from the Guardia Civil for the purpose of protecting the area.
We will continue to amplify the level of security, maintenance and for the conservation of green zones and parks in the municipality.
Our program also investigates the needs for our youths, creating social and cultural opportunities, adapted to their demands and
needs. Yet nor have I over looked the question in relation to culture and education. In reference to the categories of culture, we will
create an action plan to highlight our archaeological and cultural heritage. In relation to education, we will continue to strive for the
construction and development of a new public school.

Carmen Verdú
PP Candidate for Mayor Guardamar
A manifesto for the future of Guardamar
The Partido Popular is competing at the local elections with an
ambitious political programme comprising a hundred and sixtyone proposals that are the fruit of two years of discussions with
a number of local resident groups.
The manifesto is divided into fourteen sections covering all relevant areas such as security, sports, youth, education, culture,
environment, urban development, tourism etc.
We believe that in spite of the disastrous economic situation left
by the socialists, it is an ambitious yet achievable programme
that will provide a badly-needed boost to Guardamar’s development.
In summary, our proposals include:
Residential estates, EU residents: For the first time ever in Guardamar del Segura’s history, a political party has included a European citizen in its list of candidates
with a real chance of being
elected to the council to
speak up for the interests of this important minority. Whatever
happens,
we shall
create
t h e
post
o f
Eu-
ropean Residents Coordinator to ensure that their problems and
concerns are promptly addressed.
We also propose: an immediate solution to the El Raso habitation certification problem, translation services for residents at
the Local Police station and health centre, the creation of a EU
resident customer service office, better lighting on all the town’s
residential estates, and the installation of a permanent Local Police post serving outlying homes and residential estates.
Security: The immediate recruitment of more Local Police officers, a more visible police presence on residential estates, more
police patrols and the creation of a 24 hour Local Police post in
Campo de Guardamar.
Sports: New paddle tennis courts, a toddlers’ swimming pool
for young learners, manage the new High Perfromance Centre
project etc.
Education, culture and festivals: The construction of a new junior school, ensure the immediate completion of the mini-cinemas
in the Plaza Mercat, the extension of La Escoleta and the construction of the “Casa de la Semana Santa”.
However, the most important initiative in this section is the construction of the “Ciutat de la Música” music centre that will
house a conservatory, childrens’ practice rooms, a large public
auditorium, rehearsal rooms etc.
Environment, beaches and gardens: The creation of a recycling
plant, a plan to clean up the surrounding pine forest, the implementation of the Parque Sur project, the extension of the paseo marítimo as far as Benamor, improving maintenance of the
town’s beaches all year round etc.
Ciutat de la Música
Campo de Guardamar, agriculture and fishing: Plans to clear, resurface and install road signs on country roads, the consolidation of the Del Campo social centre with new powers to issue
prescriptions and longer opening hours, the construction of new
pipes to channel water to the purification plant.
Hotels, business, tourism and industry: Exemption for hotels
and businesses from the public highway occupation tax in low
season, the creation of a golf course using water from the purification plant, a plan to improve the appearance of the town’s
streets, to progress an application for the town’s Holy Week celebrations to de declared of touristic interest, etc.
Health: Extend health centre, consolidate emergency medical
and 24 hour assistance services, create a pre-natal clinic, maximise benefits of Red Cross agreement etc.
Port: Extend port after an analysis of the different possible options, provide the Nautical Club with a new headquarters and
maximise collaboration with a view to encouraging nautical
tourism etc.
Social services, women, immigration, and pensioners: Create
new family planning clinic, and support the cooperation and immigration department, support for needy families etc.
One of our most important initiatives is to open the Dolores Viudes Blasco retirement home, which will offer residential geriatric as well as day-care services.
These are just some of the proposals in the Partido Popular’s
election manifesto, the full version of which can be downloaded
directly from the www.carmenverdu.es website.

Guardamar is dying
Guardamar is dying. It is typical of a traditional British seaside town that has nothing left
but its graveyard and bus stops.
In 4 years, if the present downward trend
continues, there will be nothing commercially left of the town.
Guardamar is historically a fishing village.
Over the past 10 years it has steadily grown
its tourism industry mainly by people from
Madrid who have bought holiday apartments,
in line with the growth of Spain’s economy.
Those same people are now themselves going abroad for holidays.
The town has expanded and has developed
its “marina” and has seen an influx of foreign
residents in the new urbanisations. It still has
the feel of a traditional Spanish town, with
features such as a wonderful pinada and
Town Park, as well as some of the finest beaches in the Med.
Solutions are never easy. However, in the
case of Guardamar, there are possibilities,
if there is a previously unseen co-operation
between politicians and developers together.
As Guardamar has no major industry base it
MUST develop its tourism potential. At the
same time, it must increase the number of
permanent residents within the town.
To do this there are two approaches needed:
Business initiatives to attract some form of
industry to the town by the allocation of strict
business types and incentives through a new
Polígono Industrial, and a tourism incentive
to bring foreign travellers to Guardamar all
year. At the same time, people need to be
encouraged to use the town centre for more
than occasional shopping or eating trips. Dozens of shops are empty with little hope of
filling them because there is no trade.
Guardamar is a town that foreign visitors love
and admire for its ‘Spanish authenticity’. This
can be used as a tourist weapon. Although
there are no ‘quality hotels’ in the town, which would be a major boost if we could entice someone to build one, there are several
‘comfortable’ small hotels. Couldn’t we promote the ‘Hotels Association’ more strongly
to offer bookings to foreign tour operators?
Maybe it’s also possible to form an ‘Association of apartment owners’ to offer rentals
through a single channel which is promoted
on the web. This does not require money, just
co-ordination, willpower and efficiency.
The Partido Popular has adopted and incorporated many of these personal views in the
new electoral manifesto for 2007. We can
look forward to a change for the better.

You have seen the ‘80s hit
film, you have seen the
award winning TV series
and possibly the musical
in one of London’s hottest theatres. Now, I advise you to witness Fame
(Fama) in Spanish. How
did it translate, you may
enquire?
Wonderfully
well, is the answer I’d
give. I joined the packed
cosmopolitan audience,
in Torrevieja’s fabulously
new Theatre, the Teatro
Municipal; last Sunday
evening; all waiting for
the curtain to rise. With
a talented cast of some
twenty actors and dancers, accompanied by
some wonderfully ma-
noveurable sets, and enhanced with a range of
lighting in an array of
colours, (mostly denoting
passion and fire; as there
was a great deal of red
strobes and spotlights).
Not forgetting to mention the live orchestra in
the wings, plucking and
strumming each famous
tune with vibrancy and
immaculate timing. I realised we were in store for

Fame will be immortalised
from cinema, to TV, to theatre
and in more than one language
te hope of joining “The
High School for Performing Arts” in New York.
Reviving the story from
screen to theatre, must
be a challenge and to still
keep doing it twenty or so
years later after its initial
birth on screen, should be
deemed as a monument
of success. With so much
at stake, reputations, careers and dreams, and
with hard work, blood,
sweat and tears to add to
the recipe; each variation
of the original hits makes
an excellent comparative
of its mother. I enjoyed
the excitement and anticipation of the characters
fulfilling their dreams,
in a foreseeable reality,
and reaching that status
of fame and fortune and
world adulation!
The
story also speaks to those of shattered dreams,
living in denial, their hopes and aspirations, some
bitter sweet, or entwined
with issues of drug abuse,
confused sexuality - gay
N
and straight, those from
mixed and integrated
cultures and those just coming out of the closet too;
with a grand finale of perserverance. I love it! We
have the usual suspects
in both film and theatrical versions, with only
perhaps one or two minor
differences. For example,
there is the poor little rich
girl; Iris Kelly, (who in the
‘80s hit film, is certainly
rich in wealth, though
some-what poor in parental guidance). However,
in the theatrical piece,
(both in English and Spanish) Iris is actually a bit
of a fraud, she is neither
loaded, nor French, and
her father is a chauffeur
working to pay the bills
whilst taxi-ing members
of New York’s aristocracy, to their ports of call.
A slice of real life. They
have also changed the
names of some characters, but you can decipher
who is who. No matter,
the show is still a treat.

Other discrepancies, such
as Carmen, (reminiscent
of Coco from the film)
played by a very talented
Damaris Martínez; dying
of a drug over dose, (which does not happen in
the movie); and perhaps
a few tiny variations in
personalities; but there
really is not too much of
a difference in the story
itself. I love the film and
the theatrical portrayal
too and with such a fabulously talented cast, how
could it fail?
There was some excellent
comedy to boot, with some
hysterical comical timing,
combined with the ability
to convey certain character flaws; utilising physical comedy and quick
punchy deliveries.
The best for humour value would most certainly
have to be Momo Cortes,
for his comical talents, for
securing bouts of laughter at every turn from
the audience, especially
during the “Romeo and
Juliet” sequence, where
his cod piece took centre
stage and hence forth became the focal point during his solo. The emotion
deriving from the cast
was exhilarating, keeping
us engrossed and highly
entertained. Choreography is another point I
must mention, namely
its quality and diversity,
albeit that I was not particularly moved by one or
two of the dancers lack
of passion whilst getting
in to the groove, perhaps
they were tired? Thankfully, the remaining dance
troupe moved with enormous passion, grace and
skill. For example, Tyrone, played by Javier Toca,
Damaris Martínez and
Paula Vázquez to name
but a few; delivered their
choreography in the perfect essence of timing,
with a fluid and strong finish, giving it their all to
the last note expelled.
On the whole, I found this
version to be a great venture, highly entertaining
and great value for money. Time, in the packed
theatre passed at speed
therefore, I enjoyed every
moment and my entire
evening.
The fact that this production is in Spanish should
make no odds with or

Quotes from the film
Coco Hernández - (the girls are fighting over Leroy)
You know what they say? The darker the berry, the
sweeter the juice
Hilary Van Doren - Yes, but who wants diabetes?
Montgomery McNeil - Never being happy isn’t the same
as being unhappy. Is it?
Angelo - (Starts playing his son’s tape on top of loudspeakers on his cab) My son’s music! My son Bruno,
Bruno Martelli, he wrote the music! Today 46th street,
tomorrow Madison Square Garden!
Shorofsky - No! No! No! Hold the bow like this! Not
like this! This isn’t your **** you’re holding! It’s a violin
bow! Hold it with respect...
without a strong command of the language,
as the music breaks such
barriers and more over, it
is also a fabulous method
of learning the language
to see a performance of a
familiar show. It certainly beats sitting in a classroom.
If you have seen the show
in London, or perhaps watched the film or the TV series, then you will have a
good idea of the synopsis.
The story itself captures
the heart and quenches
the soul. You really want
the cast to make it and you
feel that you want to make
it too! It is ideal for all audiences ranging from children to adults and I highly
recommend this Spanish
counterpart of Fama the
musical to be witnessed
and experienced.

It may blow your weekly budget, but since its launch, this
ultra-fluid lotion from Sisley, made from concentrated
vegetable extract, has become a best-seller, and is a favourite of actress Kate Hudson and jewellery designer
Jade Jagger. The key to its success? It can be used alone
or in conjunction with your regular beauty product, and
leaves skin beautifully hydrated and protected. Tip: take
care not to leave it lying around for your partner to use:
it’s a temptation that is almost too good to resist.
if you do break a nail, do not pick or prise it off – you’ll only damage it. Either file it down or
make an appointment to have it repaired. Always use non-acetone remover, use solar oil daily,
use gloves wherever possible when washing-up, gardening etc, don’t use your nails as a tool, for
example when opening cans, or switching on the light – use your finger tips or knuckles instead.
Finally, if you do need your extensions removed, return to the salon – do not attempt to remove
them yourself.

Sugar craving?
Do you have a particularly sweet tooth? Feel tired and
sluggish all the time? If so, you could be one of the thousands of women who suffer from Candida Albicans, a yeast
overgrowth in our bodies, that can occur at any time for
no apparent reason. However, it is most likely to have been
brought on by a viral illness, antibiotic intake and use of
contraceptive pill or HRT. Symptoms include food allergies
and intolerances, migraines, foggy brains, extreme tiredness, thrush, joint pain, bloating, among a whole host of
other symptoms. The cure? A strict yeast and sugar free
diet, combined with drugs and/or natural probiotics such
as Acidophilus and grape seed extract, which will clear up
the infection and have you feeling yourself in a matter of
weeks.
“I wish I could say I relied
on one of the old wives’

don’t use raw eggs in my

just the good, old-fashioned tactics. I sleep a lot,
drink lots of water, avoid
alcohol and cigarettes, eat
healthily and do plenty of
exercise. It’s all remarkably
boring, but it’s all true. If

Q
My 28-year-old son has a drug problem. His father and I separated when he was
young and I don’t think he has got over it. He keeps telling me he is giving up
drugs, and going to start a new life so I often send him money, for food, rent, new
clothes for job interviews etc. I feel guilty when I don’t send him money. He lives
in the UK and has already been in trouble with the police once. I am at my wits end.
My friends say that I should stop giving him money. What do you think?
A
I agree with your
friends. By giving your
son money you are actually
condoning his drug taking.
Most people who are addicted to drugs have such
intense cravings for it, that
they will do anything to use
the drug regardless of the
consequences and if they
have to lie, deceive or steal
then so be it. Sadly you cannot trust any addict to tell
the truth.
You mention that you feel
guilty about your son. Maybe you feel bad or responsible that you and his father
separated many years ago
which possibly had a major
effect on your son. Even if
this is the case your son now
is an adult and he has to accept the consequences of
his decisions and behaviour
now. If you tell him that you
love him, that you will support him if he wants treatment but that you will not
give him any more money,
may help tip the balance towards him seeking help.
There is a variety of services in the UK for drug addicts, both on a residential
and out-patient level. Most
addicts will require support
to give up and will often re-
quire residential help to detoxify followed by ongoing
therapy. When they are free
from drugs they will need
to address the underlying
problems which may be depression, anxiety or loneliness to name but a few.

Q
I came to Spain thinking of the sunshine and the
great climate, but since I have been here I have
had the worst sinusitis you can imagine. I have been
unable to get rid of it, and every spring it gets worse,
what can I do?
A
If you have a “cold”
that never seems to
clear up, or a repetitive irritating cough for no obvious
reason, or you find yourself
sneezing endlessly, and develop a muzzy headache
you most probably are suffering an allergic reaction.
If this irritation continues
long enough, bacteria multiply in the swollen soggy
linings of your nose and sinuses, and you may have severe headaches, and facial
pain. The sinuses become
more and more blocked and
it becomes hard to concentrate. You may experience
a sensation of lightheadedness and a feeling that the
person you are speaking
to is “far away”. The best
method of defending yourself naturally is to improve
your own immune system.
Here are some tips:
• Avoid using aerosol
sprays.
• Ban smoking in your
house.
• Use a “damp” dusting
technique.
• Keep your vacuum cleaner
in excellent condition.
• Try excluding dairy products from your diet for up
to six weeks and see if your
nasal problems reduce.
• Try excluding all wheat
products.
• Eat the freshest fruit and
vegetables.
• Wash everything well.
• Peeling all fruit and vegetables may help.
• Try to buy organic products.
• Take regular doses of vitamin C and Echinacea in
the winter.
• Keep your air passages as
open as possible. Old-fashioned steaming with Olbas
oil, or Menthol, or Eucalyptus oil are all helpful.
• You may need an antihistamine or steroid nasal spray
along with an antibiotic to
clear the allergic reaction
and infection.
• Homeopathy and acupuncture can both help sinusitis.
One way of helping sinusitis that is truly new to me
is the idea that humming
(your favorite tune), increases the ventilation of
your sinuses which may
help to prevent the problem.

When childhood buddies Dan, a successful but neurotic doctor; Jerry, a business high-flier on the edge of
burnout; and Tom,a Harley-riding wild child; reunite in
Oregon at their friend Billy’s funeral, their reunion kicks
off more than a little nostalgia. While reminiscing in
their childhood tree house, the trio discovers that Billy
had been pursuing their boyhood dreams of finding
legendary bank robber DB Cooper’s $200,000 stash.
Now with the map Billy left behind and a cereal box
compass, Dan, Jerry and Tom decide to fulfill their
friend’s dream and go on a canoe trip to find Cooper’s
cash. But when they find themselves hassled by the sheriff at “the corner of Podunk andyou-got-a-purty-mouth,”
treed by a huge brown bear who mistakes one of them
for her cub, chased by vicious Rottweilers named Lynyrd
and Skynyrd, hunted as prey by potfarmers whose crop
they accidentally destroy, and battling terrifying rapids
down a raging river in a canoe about to plummet over
a waterfall, they begin to wonder which of their ideas
was worse--searching in the wilderness for Cooper’s
cash, or believing it ever existed in the first place.

21.00 - 23.00 & 01.00 - 02.50
The winds of political change are rumbling through the halls of the Capitol,
as a popular President is being targeted for assassination by a radical
splinter group of dissenters deep within
the United States government. Only
two people stand between anarchy
and freedom: one of them, Augustus
Gibbons, has just survived a hit on
the National Security Agency’s topsecret headquarters and is on the run.
The other, a decorated Special Ops
soldier, Darius Stone, sits under close
guard in a military prison. Gibbons
once again finds himself in need of
an outsider and Stone is his man.
The new XXX agent must uncover the
insurgents from within. It is the nation’s
only hope to stop the first coup d’etat
in American history.

Workaholic wedding planner Mary
Fiore is so devoted to her career that
she doesn’t have time to find a man.
Things change, however, when Mary
takes on a lucrative new client -- the
ultra-rich Donnollys, to whom money is
no object in regards to the upcoming
marriage of their daughter, Fran. When
Mary is victim to an unlikely accident
involving a runaway dumpster during
wedding preparations, she is literally
and figuratively swept off of her feet by
Steve Edison, a charming pediatrician
-- who just happens to be the fiance of
Fran Donnolly.

As the annual Giant Vegetable Competition approaches, it’s “veggie-mania” in Wallace
& Gromit’s neighbourhood. The two enterprising chums have been cashing in with their
pest-control outfit, “Anti-Pesto,” which humanely dispatches the rabbits that try to invade
the town’s sacred gardens. Suddenly, a huge, mysterious, vegravaging “beast”
table
plots at night,
begins attacking the town’s sacred vegeand the competition hostess, Lady
Tottington,
commissions Anti-Pesto to catch it and
save the day. Lying in wait, however,
is Lady Tottington’s snobby suitor,
Victor Quartermaine, who’d rather
shoot the beast and secure the position of local hero--not to mention Lady
Tottington’s hand in marriage. With the
fate of the competition in the balance,
Lady Tottington is eventually forced to
allow Victor to hunt down the vegetable
chomping marauder. Little does she
know that Victor’s real intent could have
dire consequences for her and our two heroes.

Sky Movies Premiere
21.00 - 23.00
Pushed to the breaking-point after their latest, “why can’t you do this one little
thing for me?” argument, art dealer Brooke calls it quits with her boyfriend,
Gary, who hosts bus tours of Chicago. What follows is a series of remedies, war
tactics, overtures and underminings suggested by the former couple’s friends,
confidantes and the occasional total stranger. When neither ex is willing to move
out of the condo they used to share, the only solution is to continue living as
hostile roommates until somebody caves. But somewhere between
protesting the pool table in the living room, the dirty clothes
stacked in
the kitchen cupboards and the
sports
played at sleep-killing volume
in the
middle of the night, Brooke
begins
to realize that what she may
be
really fighting for isn’t so
much the place but
the person.

Dick and Jane are in love and living the
American dream--until one day it becomes
an American nightmare. When the company Dick works for becomes involved
in an Enron-like scandal and he takes
the rap, Dick and Jane are forced with
the prospect of losing everything. After
playing by the rules and getting burned,
Dick has an idea: If stealing was good
enough for his boss, then it’s good
enough for him. Using his newfound skills, he and Jane decide to exact hilarious
revenge and teach big business a lesson.

Two adventurous American college buddies, Paxton and
Josh, backpack through Europe eager to make quintessentially hazy travel memories with new friend Oli,
an Icelander they’ve met along the way. Paxton and
Josh are eventually lured by a fellow traveler to what’s
described as a nirvana for American backpackers--a
particular hostel in an out-of-the-way Slovakian town
stocked with Eastern European women as desperate as they are gorgeous. The two friends
arrive and soon easily pair off with exotic
beauties Natalya and Svetlana. In fact,
too easily. Initially distracted by the good
time they’re having, the two Americans
quickly find themselves trapped in an
increasingly sinister situation that they
will discover is as wide and as deep
as the darkest, sickest recess of human
nature itself--if they survive.

Subterranean disaster movie about a
former emergency services worker who
attempts to lead a handful of survivors to
safety from a collapsing New York road
tunnel. A fleeing group of armed robbers
collides with a truck carrying toxic waste,
causing an explosion which destroys
both ends of the tunnel, thus isolating
a small number of people in the central
section - and only one man looks able to
lead them out of danger.

22.00 - 00.00
For Sarah, moving to Los Angeles is just
another chance to be an outsider. She is
all alone among the tightly-knit student
body of St. Benedict’s Academy... until
she meets three young women who
also have found themselves banished to
the outermost reaches of high school’s
inevitable pecking order. Nancy, Bonnie
and Rochelle will never fit in with the “in”
crowd. They barely fit in with each other.
But together with Sarah, their outer and
inner lives are about to change in ways
they never suspected. They are about to
learn that being an outsider has its own
kind of power. They are about to learn
“The Craft.”

Steve Barker is a nice guy stuck in a mundane desk job when a
twist of fate turns his life upside down. When Steve works up the
courage to ask his boss for a promotion, his wish is surprisingly
granted, with one condition: Steve must first fire Stavi, the longtime janitor at the company. To soften the blow, Steve offers to
employ the distraught janitor himself, a decision that quickly backfires when an accident lands Stavi in hospital missing several
fingers not to mention medical insurance. Desperate for the cash
to save Stavi’s digits, Steve enlists the help of his smarmy uncle
Gary, who’s worried about his own gambling debts. In typical fashion, Gary comes up with an unthinkable, lower-than-low scheme
just crazy enough to seem doable: former track star Steve will
compete in the upcoming Special Olympics as a “ringer,”

League Final:
preview from
Athens
00.00 - 01.00
Jim Rosenthal previews tomorrow
night’s Champions League final between AC Milan and Liverpool from
the Olympic Stadium in Athens. Of
course, it’s a repeat of the 2005 final
in Istanbul, where Liverpool staged
the most remarkable comeback the
competition has ever seen - overturning a 3-0 deficit at half-time to win
the trophy in a penalty shoot-out.
Milan will be out for revenge this
time round.

20.00 - 23.00
Steve Rider presents live coverage from the Olympic
Stadium in Athens of the UEFA Champions League final
between AC Milan and Liverpool - a repeat of the 2005
final in Istanbul, where Liverpool staged a remarkable
second-half comeback. Milan were impressive when they
beat Manchester United in the semi-final, and will be
looking for revenge this time. Commentary comes from
Clive Tyldesley and David Pleat, studio analysis from Andy
Townsend and Robbie Earle, and pitchside reports from
Gabriel Clarke and Ned Boulting.

Now that Greg Focker is “in” with
his soon-to-be in-laws, Jack and
Dina Byrnes, it looks like smooth
sailing for him and his fiancée,
Pam. But that’s before Pam’s
parents meet Greg’s parents,
Bernie and Roz Focker. The
hyper-relaxed Fockers and
the tightly-wound Byrneses are
woefully mismatched from the
start, and no matter how hard
Greg and Pam try, there is just no
bringing their families together.

King Arthur
Sky Movies Drama
21.00 - 23.10
Historians have thought for centuries
that King Arthur was only a myth, but
the legend was based on a real hero,
torn between his private ambitions and
his public sense of duty. A reluctant
leader, Arthur wishes only to leave
Britain and return to the peace and
stability of Rome. Before he can head
for Rome, one final mission leads him
and his Knights of the Round Table,
Lancelot, Galahad, Bors, Tristan, and
Gawain to the conclusion that when
Rome is gone, Britain needs a king-someone not only to defend against
the current threat of invading Saxons,
but to lead the isle into a new age.
Under the guidance of Merlin, a former
enemy, and the beautiful, courageous
Guinevere by his side, Arthur will have
to find the strength within himself to
change the course of history.

London-based gangster movie directed
by Guy Ritchie. Tom and his three friends
find enough money to take on Hatchet
Harry in a poker game but Tom’s cheated
out of his money and runs up a huge
debt. To avoid the loss of some digits,
the four have to come up with a moneymaking scheme and, as luck would have
it, an overheard conversation, two priceless antique shotguns and a rich drug
dealer might just get them out of trouble.

It’s been said that there’s no sure thing in life, except
death and taxes. You can now add a third item to
that list: whatever Ernie Bilko is betting on. Master
Sergeant Ernest Bilko is in charge of the Ft. Baxter
motor pool. That he has the unique distinction of
never having looked beneath the hood of a car is
completely beside the point. If he’s discovered that
renting out Army Humvee vehicles is a far more
profitable use of one’s time, who’s to say he’s
wrong? Under the not-so-watchful eye of the
blissfully confused Colonel Hall, Bilko is cruising
along the motor pool highway to Easy Street
until an old nemesis, Major Thorn, arrives at
Fort Baxter. Sent by the Pentagon to assess
the dismal progress of a new weapon in
development at the post, Thorn sets out to settle
a 15-year score with Bilko. For Bilko, it’s all
complicated further by finding his relationship
at a crossroads with his long-suffering girlfriend
Rita Robbins, who has been stood up at the
altar once too often.

23.00 - 01.00
A glimpse inside the lives of three very
different people on diverse paths, but all
in search of the same thing. Mirabelle
is a “plain Jane”overseeing the rarely
frequented glove counter at Saks Fifth
Avenue in Beverly Hills. An artist struggling to keep up with even the minimum
payment on her credit card and student
loans, she keeps to herself until a rich,
handsome fifty-something, Ray Porter,
sweeps her off her feet. Simultaneously,
Mirabelle is being pursued by Jeremy, a
basic bachelor who’s not quite as cultured
and successful as Ray. When fate steps
in, the outcome won’t necessarily have
a storybook ending, because in the end,
it is life.

Eurovision Song Contest 2007 in Helsinki
Press reaction to the Eurovision Song Contest
2007 final was cynical at best, with calls to
withdraw from tabloid columnists and former
participants alike in the weekend news.
Germany’s Bild Zeitung asks “Why are we even
taking part any more?” and condemns the
contest for its “weak songs, shameful exchange
of points” and the fact that “we are paying”,
referring to Germany’s status as one of the Big
Four contributors to the show every year.
The UK press were extremely critical of the
national entry, a fact which angered members
of the group who expected more support from
their home country. Former winner Cheryl Baker
(UK 1981) speaking to British tabloid The Sun,
summed up what she thinks the UK is doing
wrong at Eurovision - “Entering,” was her simple
answer. The Irish Times dismissed the Serbian
entry as “whining” and also focused on the
Eastern European voting tendencies.
However, several outlets also expressed support
for the winning song, for example France’s Le
Monde reported that “finally, a good song has
won”.
● For the first time, an Ex-Yugoslav country won the contest

BRETT ANDERSON – BRETT ANDERSON
Eponymous debut solo album by the former frontman of ‘90s’ phenomenon Suede, and latterly The
Tears. A lush, expansive album that takes in elements
of French pop music and Scott Walker-esque orchestral flourishes, whilst Anderson regales us with quintessentially English tales of love and loss. Includes the
single Love Is Dead.
STRANGER THAN FICTION
Harold, an IRS agent with a dull, solitary life, receives
unwanted company in the form of an intrusive female
voice narrating his every move. As distracting as this
is, things become truly worrisome when the narrator
informs Harold of his looming death. Excellent acting
from Will Ferrell in his first dramatic role. Well worth a
watch.

Book Review
Sunset and
Sawdust
written by Joe Lansdale
Sunset and Sawdust begins during
the Depression in East Texas with
Sunset Jones killing her violent husband, Pete. White men are busy
getting rich on oil and unofficial law
is legislated by the Ku Klux Klan.
Most of the townsfolk object to Sunset wearing Pete’s gun and badge;
some because this is the 1930s and
they think a woman’s place is in the
home, others because it was Sunset
who blew off Pete’s head in the first
place.
Certainly, women were supposed to
know their place, but Sunset Jones
sets out to straighten up a few
crooked things in her sawmill town.
She throws herself into a murder
investigation, uncovering levels of
deceit and corruption, and her own
strength in the process.
Lansdale entwines a broad-minded
liberal slant to his novels, for example, he pairs up a white straight guy
(Hap Collins) as best friend and trouble magnet with a gay black man
(Leonard Pine) in his Hap & Leonard
series. The Denver Post says of Sunset and Sawdust, “Lansdale’s prose
- laconic and sarcastic - is so thick
with slang and regional accent that
it’s as tasty as a well-cured piece
of beef jerky. Readers will want to
savour each bite, finding themselves enraptured with this tale of a
woman who perseveres against all
odds.”
Currently, Lansdale’s novel Mucho
Mojo is in production by New Line
Cinema with a screenplay by Ted
Tally (Silence of the Lambs and All
the Pretty Horses).
His idiosyncratic website is at www.
joerlansdale.com and his legion of
fans seem set to ensure that more of
his American novels are released on
to the British market.
Available at all major bookshops for
€10.25.

Some interesting
foot facts
The foot contains 26
bones, 33 joints, 107 ligaments and 19 muscles.
first aid advice from PULSE FIRST AID TRAINING
Q
I have just purchased a recently
updated First Aid Manual and am
a little confused with regard to differences in resuscitation methods between
adults and children/infants.
The guide outlines doing chest compres-
sions immediately on an adult but with
children and babies you are instructed
to give rescue breaths before chest compressions.
Why do you not give initial rescue
breaths to an adult?
1/4 of all the bones
in the human body
are down in your feet.
When these bones are
out of alignment, so is
the rest of the body.
A
Since the procedures for Cardio –
Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) have
undergone major changes in the last couple of years, I am faced with this type
of question fairly often. In fact, the recommendations for change came from the
Resuscitation Council UK www.resus.org.
uk in 2005 and if you read the background
to the new protocol for basic life support
you can clearly see that the changes make
sense. As a First Aid Instructor, I can see
that any modification which allows easier
learning of these key procedures and at the
same time increasing the efficiency of CPR
has got to be good for all concerned.
Moving on to your specific question, the
reason for the initial rescue breaths in
child/infant CPR is that unlike with adults,
the cause of most cardiac arrests in children is respiratory arrest. Many times,
if you can stimulate their breathing, it
will encourage the heart to resume activity. Adults on the other hand, usually have
cardiac arrests due to underlying cardiac
disease and the heart is no longer able to
function at the appropriate capacity, so it
needs help with the compressions.
What is your view on the use of a tourniquet to stop severe bleeding?
A relevant story in relation to this question
comes from the terrible massacre when a
gunman attacked the Virginia Tech campus
Only a small percentage
of the population is born
with foot problems.
last month. Kevin Sterne, an Eagle Scout
trained in first aid, applied a makeshift
tourniquet made from an electrical cord
to his leg, which stopped the bleeding from
his wounded femoral artery. For many
years now the use of tourniquets has been
frowned upon by First Aid training agencies in the UK since complications of their
use have led to tissue damage and eventually resulted in the limb having to be amputated. That does not mean that they do not
work and many would argue ‘lose the limb
to save the life’. Personally I feel that the
use of a tourniquet should always be a last
resort. They are to be used only when there
is no other way to stop bleeding. That can
be either because other methods to control severe life-threatening bleeding do not
work, or because other methods to control
bleeding cannot be safely undertaken (eg
battlefield situation where a soldier can
apply his own tourniquet to maintain consciousness while trying to protect himself).
It’s neglect and a lack
of awareness of proper
care - including ill fitting shoes - that brings
on problems.
Women have about four
times as many foot problems as men. High heels
are partly to blame.
Walking is the best
exercise for your feet.
It also contributes to
your general health by
improving circulation,
contributing to weight
control and promoting
all-around well being.
Your feet mirror your general health. Conditions
such as arthritis, diabetes, nerve and circulatory
disorders can show their
initial symptoms in the
feet - so foot ailments can
be your first sign of more
serious medical problems.
Raised blood pressure is not
just a problem in the ever-fattening Western world. Almost
one billion people worldwide
have high blood pressure,
and over half a billion more
will by 2025. Even in parts of
Africa, high blood pressure
is becoming common, and
that translates into millions
of deaths from heart disease
alone. Yet hypertension doesn’t
command the attention of, say, bird
flu, which so far has killed fewer
than 200 people.
“Hypertension has gone a bit out
of fashion,” says Dr. Jan Ostergren
of Sweden’s Karolinska University
Hospital, who has analysed the
global impact of high blood pressure. He wants world governments

THE FOOT DOCTOR
Toenail fungus
Fungus infections occur when microscopic fungi gain
entry through a small trauma in the nail, then grow
and spread in the warm, moist environment inside the
patient’s socks and shoes.
Symptoms of toenail fungus, which can be caused by
several types of fungi, include swelling, yellowing, thickening or crumbling of the nail, streaks or spots down
the side of the nail, and even complete loss of the nail.
Toenail colour can vary from brown or yellow to white
with this condition.
Fungal infections can affect the fingernails as well as
the toenails but toenail fungus is more difficult to treat
because toenails grow more slowly. It occurs most often on
the big or small toe but can occur on any toe.
Toenail fungus can be picked up in damp areas such as
gyms, showers or swimming pools, and can be passed
among family members. Athletes and people who wear
tight-fitting shoes or tight hosiery that cause trauma to
the toes or keep the feet from drying out are at higher
risk. The condition can also spread from one toe to another, or to other parts of the body.
It is difficult to treat or eradicate toenail fungus so it is a
good idea to try to prevent it. It helps to wear protective
shoes or sandals in public showers, pool areas and gyms
and to avoid borrowing someone else’s shoes or sharing
socks or towels with someone who has toenail fungus.
Wash your feet regularly and dry them thoroughly when
they get wet. Wearing nail polish on the toes is not advised
because it can seal in fungus and allow it to grow. Keep
toenails trimmed and be sure to disinfect any pedicure
tools before using them.
If you do develop toenail fungus, see your Podiatrist. The
podiatrist will remove as much of the nail as possible by
trimming, filing or dissolving it. Medicated nail polish
might be advised for a localised infection but a serious
infection will likely be treated with a prescription oral
antifungal medication. These medications can have side
effects, so be sure to work closely with your doctor on
your treatment plan. Only in severe cases will surgical
removal of the nail be recommended.
If you would like more information about toenail fungus
or any other problem associated with feet,
contact chiropractor Rachel Dawes on 679 274 139
or visit www.thefootdoctor.co.uk
to fight bad blood pressure just as
countries have banded together in
the past to fight infectious diseases.
Dangers from raised blood pressure go well beyond the heart. High
blood pressure is a leading cause of
strokes and kidney failure, it plays a
role in blindness and even dementia.
Moreover, patients seldom notice
symptoms until their organs already
have been damaged. Improving diet
and exercise can help, as can blood
pressure drugs, which are among
the oldest and thus cheapest on the
market — just 15 céntimos a day for
a leading diuretic.
In Mexico, Paraguay and Venezuela,
it’s perceived as an insult to your
manhood if you have to take a bloodpressure medicine, although hypertension affects about one in three
adults, so doctors are calling for role
models.
“We need to break barriers and
make it perfectly fashionable. We
need to get role models in those
countries to say, ‘You know what?
I’ve got high blood pressure.”’
Unsurprisingly, high blood pressure affects nearly one in three
adult Americans as well, or 72 million people. About a third have their
condition well-controlled, not nearly
enough but better than other countries that track treatment, reports
found.
Normal blood pressure is measured
at less than 120 over 80. Anyone can
get high blood pressure, a level of
140 over 90 or more. But being overweight and inactive, and eating too
much salt, all increase the risk.

What’s on for kids
In the run-up to the long summer holiday,
here are some eco-friendly ideas to keep
the kids busy. Whether it’s a long weekend
or a Sunday afternoon, get out and get in
touch with Nature, for instance, nature
reserves and national parks in Spain such
as L’Albufera in Valencia, Sierra Espuña
in Murcia or Doñana in Andalucía have
environmental workshops that teach
children about the mountains, wetlands,
and the flora and fauna of the different
ecosystems. You can enjoy watching
eagles in flight and mountain goats’
fearless jumps. Unforgettable experiences
for parents and children alike.
At Terra Natura, a new theme park
development in Benidorm, staff
encourage visitors to think about ways
to conserve animal species and look after
their environment. The Park donates
0.7% of its total income to the Terra
Natura Foundation which contributes to
conservation and education projects like
studying Bonelli’s Eagle and the Golden
Eagle which both nest in Spain.
Get recycling! Many local areas are now
establishing eco-parques on the borders of
towns and villages, where PC equipment,
household goods, clothing, paper, plastic,
cooking oil, aluminium cans and bottles
can all be recycled. Get children involved
in a summer project where they sort
items from home and take them to recycle
points.
Teenagers are often the most actively
involved in conservation, because they
can form a group with their like-minded
friends, get out and about, and contradict
the view of teens as lazy or unconcerned.
www.teens4planetearth.com will tell
you how to choose a local conservation
project, build an action plan and get
involved. Don’t let your kids be unaware
of the planet’s needs. By suggesting
holiday projects to study how we clean
water, or how waste is recycled globally,
you can keep them busy and entertained.

DAVID PASTOR and HOUSE DANCE JAZZ PROJECT
This group is made up by David Pastor on trumpet, Daniel Picazo on keyboards,
Amadeu Adell on Bass and Felip Santandreu on Drums. They play what is known
as ‘electronic jazz’ which is a fusion of new rhythms influenced by Hip Hop and
House music mixed with jazz harmonies. This form of jazz which is popular in the
Spanish jazz world at the moment was born out of Smooth Jazz from New York
around a decade ago and has progressed with the times. David is currently
famous in Spain for appearing in the
well-known Buenafuente TV show and for
previously having played with the group
‘Solar Side’, of which Daniel was also a
member. ‘Solar Side’ toured internationally between 1999 and 2000 where they
performed in world renowned jazz festivals and clubs in various countries such
as Switzerland, Canada and France. They
play monthly at the Mahna Mahna Jazz
Club in Jávea where there is live Jazz
music every Friday night.

MURCIA
May 18 - May 24 2007
Slander, lies and
corruption on TV
Valcárcel and Saura fight it
out in tense televised debate
More than a face to face, the
debate turned into a fight.
Less than five minutes into
the televised debate offered
by Canal 6 last Tuesday,
Ramón Luis Valcárcel
and Pedro Saura, PP and
PSOE candidates for the
Presidency of the Murcia
Region respectively, began
exchanging reproaches and
accusations centred on the
theme of town planning.
The meeting, which soon
centred on the construction sector and corruption,
included moments of great
tension, such as when
Saura accused Valcárcel of
“lying”. In reply, Valcárcel
claimed that the PSOE
candidate was “gross” and
requested to be shown a
greater degree of respect.
Both candidates revealed
an intense preparation
when dealing with the matter of town planning, to the
extent that when presenter
Joaquín García Cruz raised
the question at the beginning of the programme the
two men sprang forward to
reply. The socialist candidate called for “a profound
change” in the “exhausted
policies” of the PP. He
went on to hold Valcárcel’s
model of town planning as
responsible for generating
speculation, environmental damage and corruption,
summing up his opponent’s
policy as being a “free-forall that has placed town
planning under suspicion”. Valcárcel, in turn,
asked Saura to “stop telling
tales”, before going on to
mention that within seven
socialist-run municipalities
alone plans are underway
to construct 180,000 houses, some 40% of the overall planned figure for the
Murcia Region. For more
than half of the two-hour
plus debate, the candidates
spoke of almost nothing
other than alleged cases of
corruption. Whilst Saura
tried to draw attention to
the fact that 17 civil serv-
Schools
Family
Territory
Schools lack
balanced diet
233 requests
for adoption
Largest zone
in Spain
Health Minister María
Teresa Herranz reported
last week that “almost 50%
of our schoolchildren do
not follow a balanced diet,
whilst 67% admit to eating and drinking between
meals”. Herranz went on
to state that “there is a
clear tendency towards a
decrease in physical activity as students get older”,
as well as commenting on
a constant reduction in
time spent sleeping. The
study on the habits of
Murcia’s schoolchildren
also revealed that an average of four hours a day is
spent on sedentary activities such as watching the
television and playing with
video games.
Youth and Family has registered a constant increase
in requests for international adoption during recent
years. 233 requests were
made during 2006, compared to the 187 requests
made during the previous
year, according to official
statistics provided by the
Regional Minister, Cristina
Rubio. The Minister of
Social Affairs highlighted
the fact that the adoption
of a child “is conceived as
an act of great generosity
towards children who come
to form part of new families
in which, without doubt,
they are to receive all the
care, affection and love that
they will need to grow up
happy and healthy”.
Last week saw the President
of the Murcia Region,
Ramón Luis Valcárcel,
present a report titled ‘The
Murcia Region. Intelligent
Territories’. The project
contemplates
different
proposals for the Region’s
future territorial model
and, among other actions,
recommends the conversion
of the Murcia-CartagenaMar Menor catchment zone
into the 6th largest metropolitan area in Spain. This
research and development
initiative is aimed at analysing the Region and proposing plans for a future
territorial model based on
economic competitiveness,
environmental sustainability and social cohesion.
Daniel Vidal
PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES: Valcárcel (l) and Saura (r) before the debate
ants belonging to the PP are
involved in legal proceedings, Valcárcel responded
that not one of the 24 accusations placed before the
courts by the PSOE had
been upheld. Saura, who
made great efforts to maintain the initiative launching attacks, nevertheless
found himself adopting a
defensive attitude.
N
The first debate since 1995
The debate was marked by a series of unique circumstances: it was the first time that the two men had
met face to face since Valcárcel received Saura in San
Esteban in the autumn of 2004, following Saura’s
election as General Secretary of PSRM-PSOE; it was
the first debate between candidates for the presidency of the Region since 1995, and it was the first
and only debate between Valcárcel and Saura that is
to take place during the present election campaign.
Saura, who is trailing in second place in the opinion
polls, was aggressive and energetic from the outset,
attempting on several occasions to discredit the work
of his adversary. Valcárcel, on the other hand, maintained his cool, never let his smile drop and defended
his actions with tenacity whilst attempting to deflect
his opponent’s accusations by launching attacks on
members of the PSOE.
Prices rise in
Murcia by 1.8%
The Retail Price Index rose
by 1.8% in Murcia during
April, which led to a year-onyear rate of 2.9%. The rest
of Spain saw prices rise by
1.4% during the same period, with the country-wide
year-on-year figure reaching 2.4%. The sector most
affected by inflation in the
Murcia Region was clothing
and footwear (13.6%), whilst
education, medicines and
housing remained stable.
Communications dropped
by -0.2%. CROEM is “concerned” by the fact that
Murcia has suffered five
consecutive months of price
increases, however modest.
“Nevertheless”, adds the
Regional Confederation,
“inflation remains below
3%, a figure which, whilst a
percentage point above the
established objective, is not
unsustainable”. The Murcia
Chamber of Commerce
understands that “the
regional results respond
to the general climate in
Spain, although the coming
months should see a return
to price restraint”.

May 18 - May 24 2007
Ignacio Ramos
Socialist Mayoral Candidate
for Pilar de la Horadada
“I hope to restore
political normality to
Pilar de la Horadada”
A few months ago the town hit the
headlines after a controversial vote
of no confidence which expelled
from the Town Hall, this master of
diplomacy who is committed to his
politics and his town. With the aid
of two socialist deserters, the PP
managed to gain control just six
months before the next elections.
This coming 27th May, the people
will decide.
-Your brand of politics could be
described as peculiar yet strong.
How have you coped with losing
the vote of confidence that was at
least partly engineered by two deserters from your own party?
-Well, unfortunately, this motion
was carried with the votes of two
former socialist councillors, which
I found to be totally unjustified and
antidemocratic, thus bringing to an
end the absolute majority we achieved at the last elections with a list
of candidates representing the socialist party. I believe that, in doing
so, they deceived not only the voters
and our government team, but also
the party. I feel that this behaviour
ought to be sanctioned and punished, for the sake of the voters at the
next elections. The PP also ought
to be reprimanded for their actions
because they signed an anti-desertion pact in May 2006, although
this was never agreed on a national
level. This is why we punish the
deserters themselves and any other
political party that takes them in or
gains power for private interests,
including property development.
The crux of the matter, the origins
of the motion itself, was to approve
a plan to create a residential estate
with more than 5,000 houses on a
plot of more than 2 million square
metres, in a protected area. We understand, at that time, that revising
the PAI, was not a priority, giving
us time to review it thoroughly. It is
necessary to put forward a General
Plan for Pilar de la Horadada, which ensures that proper infrastructure
is put in place, and which includes
plans for services such as recycling,
protecting the environment, and
optimal use of renewable sources
of energies. When we have all of
this in place, we should reassess and
refine it, only when all of this can
be guaranteed. It was at this stage,
when the plans were not confirmed
pending final approval, that the two
turncoats joined the ranks of the PP,
perhaps for personal motives not
entirely unrelated to the construction industry.
THE ENVIRONMENT
-Pilar de la Horadada has green
zones of great envrionmental interest. Do you believe that they
are under threat?
-If the PP win the elections, I believe that the PAI will be approved and
possibly more will follow. Society
as a whole is warning us that you
have to be very careful with land
development. Above all, as I outlined above, care should be taken to
ensure that it is planned and prepared properly to guarantee that the
homes built will be good quality,
make the most of renewable energy
technology and be within the financial reach of any citizen, not merely
for those with 40 or 50 million pesetas to spend.
-In the PSOE manifesto for Pilar de la Horadada, how do you
propose to combine the issues of
protecting the environment and
further urban development?
-In the General Plan for Pilar de la
Horadada; from a total of 78 million
square metres, we have protected 34
million, which was one of the best
decisions made in the year 2000.
This land is protected and we really ought to earmark more pockets
including public land, which is not
quite the same thing. I also believe
that this is the course of action we
ought to follow over the next few
years. Maintaining and protecting
public land, maintaining decent
quality and affordability whilst also
ensuring all new developments are
equipped with all the necessary
services and public resources required by those who will live there. In
short, we shall try and achievable
sustainable development.
FOREIGNERS
-What measures does your manifesto propose with respect to
integrating foreigners into the
community?
-I firmly believe that foreign citizens have integrated very well in
Pilar de la Horadada and they have
most certainly found a very welcoming community within which to
live. This municipality has the best
climate, mountainous regions, sea,
magnificent beaches, and further
still, we have good services and
infrastructures in place. We find it
amazing that in Pilar we have 4,000
English people however, in our
neighbouring municipality, the total
does not even reach 500. I believe
the difference is this: Pilar de la Horadada has worked very hard during
the last several years to put in place
the fundamental infrastructures and
services required for the community and its people. Services such as
policing, security, colleges, public
transport and sports, namely the
installations of the badminton court,
the English bowling area where dozens of people play on a daily basis. We also have activities, such as
theatre groups and an English choral society group. Every Saturday
we have English cinema and all of
this was introduced and implemented by the council. I would like to
say that we wish to build an integrated community where people will
feel secure; a modern society with
employment and further more, where we cover all the services that our
citizens need.
-Tell us about the pioneering EU
project initiated while you were
still mayor.
-Yes, it is a committee set up to
understand how European politics
can be adapted to life in Pilar de la
Horadada based on public participation. An office was installed in Pinar
de Campoverde, the biggest of the
town’s satellite villages. I believe
this initiative is essential for us to
know and understand European politics and also all there is to know
about Pilar de la Horadada. Basically, the office is a place where all
citizens can get information about
all the services available in Pilar de
la Horadada, and at the same time,
about how European policies such
as those concerning protecting the
environment, Culture, the Erasmus
university exchange scheme, etc,
affect the town.
-Will this be a continual and permanent arrangement?
-It is in the pipeline, yes, but they
have converted the office space in to
an electoral office, quite against the
spirit of the original project.
-Are there any other points you wish to make to
the public?
-I believe that for the public in general, we have
worked towards integration and that we have
reached this goal. Very
much like in Torre de
Horadada and Pinar de
Campoverde, the majority of citizens are foreigners and they have all
the necessary services
available on their doorsteps. Yet, it is true that
we still have a great deal of work
to do, including improving education, for example. Education for all
English children is very important
and above all, that they learn Spanish as soon as possible. The children really ought to acquire some
form of professional training. This
needs to be brought forward so that
it happens as soon as possible.
CITY SECURITY
-Do you think that Pilar de la Horadada is a safe town within which to live?
-In Pilar de la Horadada, I would rate
the level of security as medium-high.
However, we have approximately 50
police officers for over 20,000 inhabitants. Therefore, what we are
talking about is 400 people per police officer, which lowers the level to
medium-low. So this is why policing
is one of our priorities. What we are
trying to say is much like in Torre de
la Horadada and Pinar de Campoverde, where they should put in place
fixed spots around the town, where
police will be on duty 24 hours per
day, rather than police patrols, that
come and go.
At the same time, we would like
to continue collaborating with the
association ‘Vecinos Cooperando’
which is mainly made up of English
residents. It is a method of working
in collaboration with
the police in case
of any incidents, minor,
major, or
merely the
slightest
suspicions of any
danger,
whereby
the police
arrive within
five minutes
of receiving a
call.
Another service that we wish to install are alarms in commercial establishments, whether they be small
or large businesses, that are connected directly to the police. A town
with no security, would not be able
to progress or continue to advance;
so security will remain one of our
top priorities.
-Are you expecting to return to
power after the May 27th elections?
-I hope to return the confidence placed in us by the citizens of Pilar de
la Horadada at the last five elections. We held office in 1987, again in
1991. During these two terms, we
were the party with the most votes,
but we did not govern because of the
pact between the PP and the CDS.
Later, in 1995, 1999 and 2003 we
enjoyed absolute majorities.
-With you as the leader?
-Yes, yes, I was involved in all of
them until our majority was broken.
What I really want is to restore political normalcy to the town. I hope to
win a majority that will enable me
to continue working towards improving Pilar de la Horadada. We understand that this young town needs
a strong political force in order to
achieve all that we have been unable to complete in the last few years.
And, we know that this party has a
wide base of local support.

First Division success
for Real Murcia
Cámara congratulated the
whole team for “turning so
many hopes and dreams into
reality.”
Marga Jiménez
The mayor of Murcia,
Miguel Ángel Cámara, held
a reception for the board,
technical staff and players
of the Real Murcia football
club, which ensured its promotion to the First Division
last Saturday. Cámara congratulated the whole team
for “turning so many hopes
and dreams into reality.
Murcia, which is a first class
city, needed a First Division
team”. He also congratulated the club’s fans, “who have
carried the team up into the
First Division”.
The mayor expressed his
keen desire that Real Murcia “will continue to enjoy
success and that we will be
able to prove that this success is not a just down to
chance”.
Together with the team’s
players, the mayor did not
hesitate to pose for the waiting cameras with a group of
excited schoolchildren who
were visiting the Murcia
City Council, and who were
thrilled to be asked to pose
with the councillors and
sports celebrities.

Drunk driver kills
pensioner
Alcohol and driving, a
very dangerous combination. A pensioner who was
raising his window blinds
was killed last weekend
when a young drunk-driver
crashed into the façade of
the victim’s house. The car,
a Peugeot 306 driven by a
young Ecuadorian, hit the
72-year-old man at around
7.50am after mounting the
pavement outside number
190, Avenida de Almería, in
Barriomar.
According to the Murcia Local Police, the young driver,
who was accompanied by
a friend whilst returning
home after night, was revealed as having an excessive blood alcohol level fol-
lowing a breathalyser test.
According to witnesses, the
car was seen to be travelling at high speeds along
the Alcantarilla road before
crashing into the front of
the building, which was destroyed by the impact. Neither of the car’s occupants
was injured. The 24-year
old driver, who was found to
be four points over the permitted blood alcohol level,
was arrested. He was accused of manslaughter due
to grave negligence and of a
road safety offence and was
taken to court after which
he was remanded in prison,
according to sources from
within the High Court of
Justice.

Plea for a
cleaner river
Murcia Council’s Head of
Parks, Gardens, Cleaning
and Refuse Collection José
Ros, has sent a letter to the
president of the Segura Hydrographic Confederation
(CHS), José Salvador Fuentes Zorita, requesting that
the Segura river be cleaned
in the area around Molinos
del Río (located in the city
centre). The Council has
received numerous complaints from neighbours
about the unclean state
of the river following the
inauguration of the “Sardina” sculpture (which presides the river as it passes
through Murcia). Ros stated
that the unclean state of the
river deteriorates the image
of Murcia and expressed
his desire that the CHS will
rapidly proceed with the
necessary cleaning work
in order that residents and
visitors alike will be able to
contemplate the river in a
clean setting.
Terra Natura opens its doors
Everything is ready for
residents and visitors alike
to visit Terra Natura. The
theme park will open its
gates next Monday at 10am
in order that visitors may
find out more about African
and Iberian fauna.
The park is to open from
10am to 6pm on weekdays,
closing an hour later at the
weekends. Opening hours
will be extended during the
summer to coincide with
the inauguration of the
water park in June. Visitors will be charged promotional prices during the first
months: €10 for adults, €8 for
children and free entry for
under-3s. Group prices have
been set at €8 for adults and
€6 for children. In this way,
both the promotional prices
and those established in the
future will be the cheapest
of all the parks of this type
currently open in Spain.
Those who decide to visit
Terra Natura as of Friday
will be able to contemplate
dozens of animals, entertainment in each zone and
the show “Challenge of
the Birds of Prey”. Visitors will be able to enjoy a
Mediterranean open-buffet, in a restaurant with
views over the park’s lions.
Food is also available from
two kiosks. A second buffet
restaurant will be opened
in the coming months,
whilst an ‘haute cuisine’
establishment is to be inaugurated towards the end of
the year. Bus lines 39 and 44
will take visitors directly to
the park, and car parking
has been made available for
TERRA NATURA: Come see the elephants
approximately 500 cars.
Since 28 April, the park
has been open to restricted
groups, such as schools and
other collectives that have
pre-booked, in order to ac-
climatise the animals to
their new habitats. In the
first 13 days, around 2000
people have already visited
the Terra Natura park.

Black Widow
Sentenced
Her right hand bandaged,
Jacqueline Moore, the Black

of murder and of desecrating her husband’s lifeless
body, the judge sentenced
her and cleared all charges
involving her son, George
Ross. The final hearing for
the crime that took place
in Tallante, Cartagena, was
for the murder of British
man Raymond Moore, in
October 2002, by his wife.
Jacqueline

house with the intention
to take a life. Jacqueline
Moore was sentenced to
14 years and 11 months in
prison and four months further for the desecration of
his body. Raymond Moore
died by asphyxiation from a

Twelve eco-friendly bike
stands to reduce traffic
José Andúgar
The town council aims to
promote the use of bicycles
as an alternative means
of transport for getting
around the city. The departments of town planning
and urban circulation have
provided twelve stands for
these vehicles.
To justify the initiative
the councillor responsible
for these departments,
Josías Martínez Fajardo,
explained that the town
has designed a programme
named Punto Verde based
on
Lorca
Accessible,
“which is the one getting
rid of the architectural
barriers.”
Twelve sites have been
chosen for this first stage:
“the most suitable sites
thanks to their location
N
and proximity to busy areas used mainly by young
people as they are who we
want to encourage to use
bicycles.”
As many as six bikes can
be parked at each stand, according to the councillor,
making space for a total of
72 such vehicles. “If they
are accepted well enough
by citizens, there won’t be
any problem in expanding
the programme. Everything is already in place
since enough space exists,”
declared Martínez Fajardo.
Stainless steel rings have
been chosen for the bike
stands, and users must lock
their bicycles to them. The
design is discreet and fits
in with the surroundings,
both inside and outside the
historical centre.
Now a publicity campaign
The locations
Instituto Ibáñez Martín, Instituto Ros Giner, Instituto
Príncipe de Asturias, Instituto Ramón Arcas, Plaza
Real, Convento de la Merced, Glorieta San Vicente, Calle
Alporchones, Alameda de la Constitución, Plaza de España, Plaza de la Concordia, Plaza de Carruajes
is under way to let the public know of this municipal
initiative. 5,000 pamphlets
are going to be distributed
among the public with a
map of the city indicating
where the bike stands are
located, along with a number of tips for riding bikes
properly.
Another campaign on local radio and television
stations will take place at
the same time, directed at
both bike riders and motor
vehicle drivers to take the
appropriate safety precautions while on the streets
in the hope of avoiding
accidents as much as possible.
Martínez Fajardo is convinced that the use of bicycles is going to increase
in the coming months and
have a very positive effect
on the city.
Bike Lanes for Avenida de Europa and Avenida de Cervantes
In addition to the bike
stands, technical studies
are under way to provide
both Avenida de Europa
and Avenida de Cervantes
BIKE STANDS: Positive effect on the city
with suitable bike lanes.
The study that is farthest
along is the one for entry
to the city via the former
Águilas highway. During
the recent re-paving of
this street, the Alameda de
Cervantes, the traffic signals were modified to provide better traffic flow, in
preparation for the other
reforms that are planned
prior to the introduction of
the bicycle lane.
Beach cleaning staff
and services increase
José Andúgar
The imminent cleaning of
the beaches prior to the
summer season, which is
to begin within the month,
will serve to test the efficiency of the extended refuse-collection and streetcleaning contract signed
between Cartagena City
Council and services company L’Hicarsa.
Beach-cleaning staff and
equipment are to be increased in order to reduce,
in so far as is possible, the
amount of complaints received from visitors. A 35strong workforce (7 more
than last year) is to take
care of the zones which
fall under the responsibility of Cartagena Council,
whilst a further 39 workers
are to be assigned to areas
covered by La Manga’s Services Institute.
Maintenance
The “shock” cleaning campaign, as it has been de-
scribed by Councillor María
Dolores Soler, will officially
begin on June 15 and carry
on until September 15. Due
to the large number of
visitors expected, the start
of the campaign is to be
brought forward to June 1
in La Manga.
The services covered by
the campaign will reinforce both the work and the
subsequent maintenance
tasks carried out during
and since the Easter period, the effects of which
are particularly noticeable
in La Manga. The same,
unfortunately, cannot be
said about El Mar Menor
where, for example, Los Nietos beach is covered with
seaweed and the maintenance works appear to
have borne few results. The
increase in staff will be
backed by a corresponding
increasing in equipment,
such as sweeping and suction implements, collection
trucks and beach-cleaning
vehicles.

British ex-pat is main
suspect in Maddy hunt
Alex Elgar
A British ex-pat was questioned earlier this week by
police in the Portuguese
resort of Praia de Luz, the
Algarve, where four-yearold Maddy McCann was abducted two weeks ago from
her hotel room while her
parents ate just 120ft away.
After 16 hours of questioning, Robert Murat, (who
is half-Portuguese), protested his innocence, claiming
that he was being used as
a scapegoat by police and
that his life had been “ruined” by the media attention. Police seized Murat’s
computer and carried out
an extensive search on his
house. Officers were quick
to stress that Murat had not
been arrested.
Many critics believe that
blunders committed by Portuguese police could have
allowed whoever kidnapped
the young child to get away
unhindered. It has now
come to light that residents
living in nearby apartments
were not questioned in the
days following the crime,
and Portuguese border control were not alerted until 15
hours after Madeleine went
missing, enough time for
any abductor to escape via
land or sea.
A Russian man questioned
in Portugal over the disappearance has denied any involvement. IT expert Sergey
Malinka, 22, was taken to a
police station in Portimao
and computer equipment
was removed from his flat
in Praia da Luz, Algarve.
Mr Malinka is believed to
have designed a website for
Mr Murat’s property business. He is said to have contacted detectives himself
after reading reports police
were probing connections
between Mr Murat and a
Russian.
Following his release, Mr
Malinka said he was interviewed as a witness and not
a suspect, and that he did
not have a criminal record
in any country.
But Briton Robert Murat,
33, is the only formal suspect in the case. Four-yearold Madeleine, from Rothley,
Leicestershire, vanished on
May 3.
On Wednesday, Maddy’s
aunt, Philomena McCann,
visited Parliament to lobby
MPs and peers and a fighting fund to help cover the
cost of the search was
launched. An award of over
£2.5 has now been offered
for anyone with information and any money raised
not needed for the search
will be used to help find
missing children in the UK,
Portugal and elsewhere.
If you can help police with
their investigations, call International Crime Stoppers
on: 0044 1883 731 336.

Amerindians offended over
Pope disrespectful remarks
Indigenous leaders were
said to be offended earlier
this week during the Pope’s
official visit to Brazil, in
which he hinted that the
Catholic Church was superior to indigenous religions.
In what was his first visit
to the Americas during his
office, Benedict XVI stated
that missionaries of the
Catholic Church had not
imposed their religion on
Indigenous peoples of the
Americas during the time
of the conquests, but had
instead been welcomed,
as if the people had been
“waiting silently” for Christianity.
However, according to history books, millions of Indigenous people died as a
result of massacres, illness
and slavery brought about
through European colonisation and directly backed by
the Catholic Church. And
last week, several indigenous groups wrote to the
Pope asking him to support
their efforts to defend ancestral lands and culture,
indicating that they had
suffered a ‘process of genocide’ since the arrival of the
first European colonisers in
1492.
According to Jecinaldo Satere Mawe, head coordinator
of indigenous Amazonian
group Coiab: “It is arrogant
and disrespective to consider our cultural herediatry
secondary to theirs.”

The cat, which has been
nicknamed
China,

thought to have chewed his
way into a cardboard box,
which was then loaded into

Science
Astronomers
discover
universe’s
oldest star
An international team of
astronomers has announced
the discovery of a 13.2 million-year-old star, nearly as
old as the Universe itself.
According to scientists, the
star, named HE 1523-0901 is
a real ‘fossil’, and was discovered by the European
Organisation for the Astronomical
Investigation
(ESO).
Scientists state that the star,
which is situated in our galaxy The Milky Way, is relatively bright and formed
soon after the Big Bang,
which lead to the formation
of our Universe.
It can be seen with a telescope from the Southern
Hemisphere. The star is
about 80% the size of the
Sun. The star was probably
formed directly from scattered materials left over after first generation stars—
with sizes about 200 times
that of our Sun—exploded
at the end of their lives.

Mile-high mayhem
Spare a thought for those poor footie followers whose plans
to watch the UEFA failed to take off. Instead of jeering at
the Glaswegians, Espanyol fans dedicated a slow hand-clap
to Excel Airways’ own goal when they found they were in
possession of duff flight tickets.
Admittedly, anyone flying to Glasgow for reasons other
than the UEFA Cup was probably quite pleased to be left
stranded in sunny Barcelona, rather than having to return
to single-figure temperatures and dull, murky skies in the
grim north of the UK. Yet when the best-laid plans are
scuppered by forces beyond your control – namely someone
else’s inefficiency – it is hard to swallow. Not that this is
anything new. A flight to Rome at the beginning of the year
that was horribly delayed resulted in wedding guests from
Valencia turning up at the service still in their travelling
gear and dragging suitcases behind them. Then, of course,
there was last year’s fiasco when Air Madrid left hundreds
stranded in Latin America who had to be repatriated by
Hugo Chávez and a fleet of army jets.
Nobody expects efficiency from airlines, although I
witnessed a miracle this week when the budget flight on
which I was travelling only arrived half an hour late as
opposed to the usual dead-of-night race against the clock to
land before the airport shuts. Then, just to make me eat the
scathing words I habitually utter about pitiful service on
not-so-cheap flights, on the return trip I was met at the door
of Stansted airport by an efficient-looking woman with a
clipboard who sent me to the relevant desk, at which I had
checked in within ten minutes. In Valencia and Alicante
this happens occasionally, but at this particular airport the
queues usually last longer than the flight and once clear of
the x-ray machines, passengers have to run hell-for-leather
to cover the ten kilometres or so separating them from
the departure gates before the plastic-seated, overloaded
aircraft takes off without them.
Mostly, though, they needn’t bother because even if they
are at the head of the queue, it is normal to be suddenly
pushed to the back when the steward announces that
parents with children should board first. Then comes
a rush of harassed-looking mums and dads, often with
offspring already in possession of A-levels and a driving
licence (“s/he’s under 18, so s/he counts as a child”) doing
battle with those very same pushchairs that got stuck in
the scanning machine at the entrance causing a tailback
of huffing and sighing passengers.
Like plumbers, builders and cars, life would be vastly
less hassle if we never needed to bother with aeroplanes.
(No offence meant to plumbers and builders amongst our
readership – only the ones who overcharge or don’t turn
up when they say they will). In fact, a number of expats,
when they moved to Spain, imagined they would never
have to board a plane again in their lives. With our hot
summers and quality beaches, there is no need for cheap,
last-minute, sun-seeking package holidays.Yet the world
is fairly sizeable and we are unlikely to see it all in our
lifetimes, so the pull of foreign holidays will never relent
simply by moving abroad. Plus even the most hardened
expat generally needs to travel to the mother country at
least once a decade to stock up on Asda Smart Price ginger
biscuits, Toni & Guy shampoo, Morrison’s own-brand teabags or whatever floats our boat and still hasn’t reached
Mediterranean shores.
And even hardened expats ought to brave the budget
airline blues and queues and overpriced plastic airport
sandwiches from time to time just to remind themselves
how much they enjoy living in Spain. It never fails, and we
always appreciate our adopted country so much more after
braving the elements in our native land.

Dear Sir.
My husband and I were
travelling through Oliva
towards Gandia the other
day and as usual the traffic was at a standstill. The
boredom of being stuck in
traffic was suddenly alleviated by my husband yelling excitedly and pointing
up towards a flat on the
right hand side of the road.
When I looked up in the
direction he was pointing
I was amazed to see a naked young woman leaning
Dear Sirs.
You may be interested to
know that the Democratic
Coalition of Parcent (CDP)
made history on Monday
evening when the representatives of three opposing political parties publicly backed their election
campaign at a meeting in
Parcent.
The meeting was attended
by Paco Carrió, Secretary
General of the Valencian
Socialist Party, PSPVPSOE, Alfred Botella,
Diputado of EU-Dls Verds
L’Entesa y Salvador Sendra, Area Secretary of the
Bloc, Valencian nationalist party. All three political groupings spoke giving
out of a window seemingly
painting the said window.
My hubby could not take
his eyes of her, as all her attributes were on show and
he was getting very excited
(NOT
RECOMMENDED
AS HE IS 87 YEARS OLD!)
Fortunately the traffic
started moving then so I ordered my man to drive on,
and he reluctantly did so
after a sharp dig in the ribs
from me but not before having another quick look.
On returning home I related the story to my next
door neighbour and she
remembered that a year or
two ago there used to be a
very fit attractive young
man who every morning
used to exercise on his balcony on the left hand side
of the road wearing next to
nothing.
Do you think these two
incidents were related in
any way, and were they organised by Oliva council to
take drivers’ minds off the
awful traffic problems?
It certainly cheered my old
man up and he now tries
to find any excuse to go
through Oliva when we go
out shopping.
their support to the CDP
and explaining that they
had not presented candidates in Parcent to give
the CDP the best possible
chance of winning the
elections and stopping the
barbaric plans approved
by the PP ruled council
to build 1,800 houses on
the neighboring hillsides.
Alfred Botella said ‘We
opposing parties have not
presented candidates as
the CDP is the best thing
that can happen in Parcent’ whilst Paco Carrió
commented that it was
almost unheard of to give
support to another political party.
The cross party backing
of CDP echoes the multi-
party support obtained by
‘Veïns de Parcent’ in their
fight against the urbanisations. When their petition
was debated in the European Parliament they won
the support of all political
groupings, including the
Green Parties and British
Conservatives, with the
exception of the Spanish
Partido Popular.
In the light of the current
election, I thought it was
important that your readers should understand
what apolitical parties are
all about. These issues go
beyond party politics as
they affect us all.
I am not expecting your
readers to all vote for our
party but awareness of the
wider issues taking place
in this Valley and across
the Costa Blanca mean
we have a chance to plan
sustainable development
together.
Yours faithfully
Gabrielle & Klaus Wagner
EDITOR’S COMMENT:
If these are traffic jam
distraction
techniques,
maybe Oliva council will
send us some feedback on
whether they are working!
Will we shortly be seeing

Learning languages is child’s play
Basque author, Bernando
Atxaga, was telling me
about how his two daughters, aged five and eight,
could understand, speak
and even play together in
English. Since they were
born, they have always had
access to the BBC and became addicted to the type
of cartoons that captivate
kids everywhere: and so
I have discovered their
secret to learning, without any effort, a third language other than Spanish
or Basque. Atxaga’s two
daughters overcame the
trauma without trauma,
by which I mean the suffering that all of us who
live in today’s anglicised
world experience as we go
through life struggling to
learn English. In my case,
I am not keen on learning
languages for pragmatic or
utilitarian purposes. More
appealing would be a device that translates any language into our own. How?
A simultaneous translation
programme that could be
incorporated into a mobile
phone, for example. This
would mean that a man or
woman from Russia could
talk to me in their language and I would understand them in mine, and
vice-versa. Pure fantasy!
People normally respond
by saying I have too much
trust in technology. Imagination is the ice-breaker of
routine, but many prefer
the inertness of ice to the
freedom of the open seas.
We are thoughtless about
technology although it has
brought about important
changes for humanity. The
industrial revolution gave
the masses access to buy
BERNANDO ATXAGA: Basque author
thousands of products, including the votes of some
of our politicians. Now,
the corrroded hierarchical
structure that seemed an
inevitable part of our social fabric has been blown
apart by the invention of
the Internet which gives
all of us the freedom to
communicate horizontally
and with completely equal
opportunities.
Atxaga writes in Basque
and has been translated
into a great many different
languages. That minority
languages, no matter how
few people speak them,
have the right to spread, is
something not understood
either by the political
classes shut away in Madrid or by their representatives across Spain. For in
the House of Deputies, no
other language but Castellano Spanish is permitted
while the politicians fill
their mouths with talk of
a diverse and pluralistic
Spain.

Formula One furore comes to town
The recent rumpus over
Formula One racing in Valencia has set me thinking.
It is perfectly understandable that Bernie Ecclestone
should not want to sign a
contract of this type before
the elections. To be honest,
it always seemed to me a
bad idea to sign before the
elections simply because,
as everyone knows, such
contracts carry penalty
clauses. This means that
if Ecclestone had signed
with Camps, and if Camps
loses and the next regional
government decides not
to build the circuit, then
a huge fine would have to
be paid from the pockets of
local taxpayers that would
have ended up lining Ecclestone’s pockets. So therefore, Ecclestone’s stance
seems sensitive, prudent
and, above all, beneficial
to our regional coffers.
What intrigues me is why
the owner of Formula
One should come and take
part in an electoral show
that has become a comedy
of intrigue. I wish I was a
close friend of Mr Ecclestone so that I could ask
him: “Bernie, what really
happened?” Not because it
is very important - as far
as I am concerned a new
Formula One race track is
not a priority, far from it in
fact - but because I would
be fascinated to know the
background and because I
have a theory. Some would
have us believe that the Eccclestone operation is the
fruit of the high-level electoral engineering practised
by the Partido Popular and
the business science of the
world dominated by Ecclestone, but I am not so sure,
because generally speaking, intrigues of this magnitude can be explained by
the actions of secondary
How is a socialist

loves Formula
One expected to
vote now?
figures striving to placate
their masters. I imagine
that the hours before the
signing ceremony were
frenetic, and that one of
Camps’s advisors handling
the negotiations threw caution to the wind, but saw
his gamble backfire on him.
My theory is that Bernie
Eccclestone was reticient
to sign before the elections
from the beginning and for
a number of reasons, the
main one being the division it has caused among
the local population, and
secondly, because those opposed to Camps had come
out against the scheme. I
can imagine Camps telling one of his minions: “I
want his signature,” and
the minion replying: “Mr
President, don’t you worry,
once he’s in Valencia, Ecclestone will sign because
when he sees what we’ve
laid on, he’ll never be able
to tell us to wait until after
the elections.” But Ecclestone was able, and did so.
Camps must have known
something about it because
he had a pat answer ready
when asked for an official
comment: “thanks for linking the prize of a Formula
One with me being re-elected as president.” From that
moment on, there has been
a huge scandal and rightly
so because the Valencian
people have been presented with an illegitimate and
immoral dilemma: how is
a socialist supporter who
loves Formula One expected to vote now? He will
have to do what he thinks
right, but what is clear is
that Camps and his advisors have not behaved in a
way that merits the respect
of the voting classes. Votes
cannot be bought, either
with leisure or jobs, but
if they are, those that do
clearly show that they have
no respect for fundamental
political values.
You might not believe it,
but I am writing this article on my laptop in the
waiting room of a health
centre in the middle of
Valencia. The same city
that might or might not
become a paradise depending on whether Formula
One comes to town. My
son is here for his five-year
check-up and we got here
early to observe. The surgery is clearly filled with
people with unhappy faces,
the chairs are old, the toilets are small and not very
clean, the doctor is delightful, and as we are friends,
she confides in me that she
has been assigned more
patients than she can cope
with and that she works
extra hours every day for
which, of course, she gets
no extra pay. We are lucky
enough to live in one of
the city’s most affluent
districts, where America’s
Cup visitors come to stroll,
presumably to spend their
cash in the best fashion
boutiques, so please do not
think that our health centre is on the outskirts of
town in a rundown area:
on the contrary, we are
among the privileged few,
and there are much worse.
But everything will be
okay because in 2008 they
will give us a DVD showing
us our magnificent urban
track and this will cure the
sore throats, rheumatic
pain, anxiety attacks and
the other necessities of a
public health primary care
sector which treats the
huge majority of the population without distinction
regardless of whether or
not they want the Formula
One or whether they vote
PSOE or PP.
FORMULA ONE: Bernie Ecclestone

God knows it’s true
Why must we vote
I was reading from Carl
Sagan’s website about
what he called his Baloney
Detection kit, which is a
series of questions for testing bullshit ideas. For example - Wherever possible
there must be independent
confirmation of the facts.
When it comes to Atheism,
this point becomes rather
difficult, as who is more independent than humans if
there is no God? But I read
on. Encourage debate on
the evidence by knowledgeable people of all points of
view. This is certainly on
going in the media – Richard Dawkins’ God Delusion book, Sam Harris’s
atheist Manifesto, and the
multitude of atheist blog
and web-sites. Next comes
– spin more than one hypothesis – don’t simply run
with your first idea and try
not to get overly attached to
a hypothesis just because
it’s yours. Hmm. I’ll bear
that one in mind.
Finally, and the one I remember from the film adaptation of Sagan’s book
Contact, is Occam’s razor
– if there are two hypoth-
eses that explain the data
equally well choose the
simpler. Atheism certainly is simple. HE’S NOT
THERE. It’s just us, floating on a pale blue ball in
space, and likely to be here
for the foreseeable future
as NASA funding seems to
always be dwindling (are
they telling the truth?) and
we have no suitable target
planet we can migrate to
unless we get much zippier
space travel to go the 20 odd
light years necessary.
So I find that I am increasingly in favour of Atheism.
I don’t agree with those
nonsense pontificators who
claim Religion has caused
all major world wars – as
it’s clear that maniacal,
despotic and irreligious
SAM HARRIS
men have used religious
argument to manipulate
the faithful into war. However, that does seem to me
to be a failing of religious
faith – the FAITH bit. Asking followers to just accept,
without proof, without a
five-year guarantee or your
money back, suggests that
religious leaders are somewhat sceptical themselves.
And just because many
people turn to religion on
their death beds seems to
be no clear argument for a
Big Daddy-O. I’d probably
eat a MacDonalds burger
if I was starving; why not
take a side bet on God at
the last minute. (Hmm, is
religious conversion available on lastminute.com?)
But in these crazy days
of global climate change,
when the Eurovision song
contest is mostly sung in
English, and Richard Branson is sponsoring intergalactic space travel, you can
be sure that we’ll soon have
the media declaring real
proof of the Guy in the Sky.
Just hope us poor deluded
Atheists get a lenient deal
at those pearly gates.
Now the municipal election campaign is officially
underway, European residents are being bombarded
with electoral propaganda
asking for their vote. As
a candidate for the Democratic Coalition of Parcent, I have been out talking
to people, discussing our
local issues and hopefully
motivating them to vote.
However, I have heard a
number of worrying comments about our right to
be involved in the political process in our adopted
country.
A point being raised in Parcent, (where the election is
a one-issue campaign on
whether the village wants
to go ahead with massive
urbanisation plans), is
whether the British and
other European residents
in the village should have
a say. Whilst many are
highly vocal and active in
the campaign to stop the
urbanisations a few people have said: ‘shouldn’t
we leave it up to the ‘Spanish?’ The inference is who
are we to meddle in local
Spanish issues. This is
misguided for a number of
important reasons.
As European citizens resident in Spain we have a
democratic right to vote,
enshrined in national and
European law. We are taxpayers, our taxes contributing to national, regional
and local funding. In many
areas of the Comunitat Valenciana we also now make
up a sizeable percentage
of the population, and in
a number of municipalities non-Spanish voters are
now the majority. We live,
work and bring up our children here and have every
right to vote for those parties who best represent our
interests.
What is more, I think we
have a duty to take an interest in the activities of
our local administrations.
Mayors and councillors
are elected to serve their
communities and should
be held accountable for
their actions. If we do not
become involved in the political process in our towns
and villages we have no
right to complain when
our elected representa-
tives let us down. If we do
not tell our Town Halls
what we feel is important
and how local life could
be improved, we cannot be
surprised when they take
no notice of our needs or
act directly against our interests, as is the case with
many people affected by
the Valencian LRAU/LUV
land laws.
We are fortunate that we
have this chance to make
our voice heard and should
not take our vote for granted. Thousands of taxpaying, legal immigrants in
Spain are denied a vote as
they are not EU or Norwegian citizens. We ourselves
have no right to vote in
regional and national elections, a disgraceful situation that leaves long term
residents in Spain effectively disenfranchised. So
I urge everyone to actively
take part in this election
campaign, attend meetings, read party literature,
ask questions of the candidates and on May 27 join
their Spanish neighbours
in deciding the future of
their Town Halls.

INTERVIEW
May 18 - May 24 2007
Cultural Ambassador
The long awaited Theatre is almost due for
completion. Benejúzar’s Mayor speaks to us
about his hopes and aspirations to provide his
home town with a rich cultural program.
By Paloma Casco Del Rey
In the previous ten to fifteen
years, Spain has changed
not only with immense velocity but also characteristically. With building sites
more prominent than sandy
dunes and clean beaches,
what are we developing for
the future here? There are
more bars and restaurants
than I care to dine in and we
all desperately require other means of entertainment.
In recognition of this, I had
ventured to the outer layers
of the typical British quarters of the Costa Blanca and
thereby discovered a very
quaint and peaceful town
during “siesta”, that booms
with a zest for life at all
other times. And all in good
taste naturally.
I decided to touch base
JOSÉ ANTONIO
with the humble Mayor of
Benejúzar who began the
research and development
of his new and long awaited
construction of a theatre.
Where on earth is Benejúzar
and may I find it on Google
Earth, I wonder?
Indeed
one may find it on the map
and it appears this sleepy
town has roots longer than
mine on a good day. José
Antonio García Meseguer
is Benejúzar’s Mayor and
is at present, orchestrating
several cultural activities
in his home town. First at
work is the project of the
new theatre to be completed for inauguration this
August, in which all manner of events, conferences,
shows and so forth will
take place upon the opening. That is not to say that
Benejúzar is not already
rich in cultural programs
or festivities. For example,
in the month of October, the
town celebrates its unique
Fiesta, where a depiction of
the “Virgen” locally known
as La Romería del Pilar, (she
is the town’s Patron Saint
and no town or village in
Spain, would leave home
without one) in sculptural
form, is carried throughout
the town via a very formal
procession, up to the hills or
“campo”, and a huge picnic
is carried out with copious
amounts of food, drink and
music. Once the food and
beverages are consumed,
the “Virgen” is then carried
back to town and the party
is complete. Sounds delicious - that one I must attend! Also, in the month of
June there is the “Fiesta de
Moros y Cristianos”, commencing in the first week of
June. Another outstanding
feature is Benejúzar’s open
air stage, erected as the centre piece in the middle of
the square, situated directly
opposite the town hall itself.
To add strings to their bows,
the town also offers a Gala
del Deporte in the Pavellón
de Deportes; which pays
homage to local sporting
personalities, with clubs
and associations holding
events involving schools,
colleges and businesses together in collaboration for
sporting activities.
This
coming Sunday 19th May at
approximately 8.30pm, the
Festival de Bandas, a music
festival, will be taking place
with some mixed renditions
of the Pasodobles, Brahms
and Giménez to be heard.
With 64 musicians and 170
contributors to add to the
equation is it any wonder
why this town contributes
some great cultural diversity. Among some of the up
and coming events due to
take place at the “Casa de
Música”, will be films. A
huge screen for the perusal
of films both for adults and
children will be able to be
viewed here during most
weekends. The town’s Mayor, the esteemed José Antonio expresses;
I hope and
wish that our
neighbours enjoy
and participate
in the pleasures
of our cultural
events - in capital
letters!
“I wish that those whom
come to visit Benejúzar, enjoy the pleasures and multitude of programs it has
to offer”. Each trimester,
a new copy of the events
are printed, offering information as to the times and
dates of such celebrations
and spectacles.
Who is the architect
working on this project
and what other buildings has he designed and
built?
A Spanish gentleman called
Efigenio Jiménez. He is also
responsible for the design
and construction of various
buildings in Benejúzar, such
as the town hall, the sports
centre, the auditorium and
the open air theatre here in
front.
How much will it cost to
build the theatre?
TOWN HALL: Inset - the new theatre due for completion in August
The cost of the design and
building is 2 million euros.
How many English speaking inhabitants are there
in Benejúzar alone?
There are approximately
7,000 foreigners with a
range of nationalities.
What events do you plan
to hold at the theatre?
We plan multi-activities,
such as cinema, theatre, opera, dance and conferences.
There will be no boundaries as to the level of cultural programs we plan to
project.
When will the theatre be
complete for inauguration?
It should be in August this
year.
Do you have any fixed
plans for the inauguration?
Not at the moment. But
the town hall will keep you
posted. We first have to organize the festivals due this
coming month of June, with
the Moros and Cristianos.
How many seats will the
theatre hold?
It will have the capacity for
400 seats.
VIEW INSIDE: Main frame of the theatre
Do you have any cultural
programs lined up at all
to feature in the new theatre?
Yes, an English comedy at
the end of the year. Apart
from that, it is too soon to
say. To be fair, Benejúzar
will be hosting a range of
activities, so until we have
organized all those up and
coming events, I truly can
not say. But there will be
many.
What are your visions
and aspirations culturally speaking for Benejúzar?
The cinema is one of
them that I have wanted to
achieve for some time and
it is becoming a realisation
with this new theatre. I also
want to hold musicals, operas and Zarzuelas. We are
also going to create a conservatory school of music
and we are also toying with
the idea of implementing
a theatre school, where we
may teach acting, music
and dance. That is one of
my dreams.
Will the town hall assist
any theatre groups and/
or cultural events with
financial aid?
Yes of course.
How would groups apply
for this and with which
body?
Directly via the town hall itself with the “Conselleria”.
What is your favorite theatrical piece to date?
I really enjoyed a show that
was staged here at the ‘salón
de actos’, called El Último
Tranvía, by Manuel Baz. It
is a comedy about a man obsessed with football and all
the comical escapades that
his long suffering wife gets
up to whilst he is away following his team.
Do you have a preferred
style of music?
I love the Zarzuelas some of
which we shall be playing
here this weekend.
What kind of marketing
strategy is planned for
the publicity campaign
for the new theatre?
We will be advertising on
the radio, newspapers, posters and so forth in order to
promote the theatre. We
will also have a web page
and I believe we will also advertise on the television.
Will there be a technical team on standby to
work at the theatre, for
example, for lighting and
sound?
Yes absolutely.
Who will patronise the
theatre?
The town hall.
Q17. Do you have any other plans for constructing
additional buildings for
cultural means?
With the auditorium, the
open air theatre in the
square and now the development of the new theatre,
I believe we have plenty to
hold cultural activities.
Programme for events in
Benejúzar
Sunday May 19 at 20.30hrs,
the “Auditorio José Aparico” presents the “Festival
de Bandas” with the “Unión
Musical de Benejúzar” and
the Unión Musical de Redován.
Commencing Friday June 1
is the Festival of Moors and
Christians with processions
and other activities.

A precious northern jewel
Donosti – San Sebastián is one
of the prettiest, if not actually
the prettiest town in Spain.
By Cornelia Muller
Donosti, as the Basques
call it, or San Sebastián,
as the rest of Spain calls
it, is nestled in a semicircular bay, La Concha,
between the Monte Igueldo
and the Monte Urgull. It
charms with its historic
old town, the narrow pedestrianised streets full of
little shops and bars and
the rectangular Plaza de la
Constitución.
In the 19th century
the town grew and now
impresses with elegant neogothic buildings in the barrio Amara.
Although the town has
been invaded several times,
it has never been destroyed.
Long ago it was a small
fishing village at the mouth
of the river Urumea; in the
16th century it turned into
a prosperous trade centre, from where Spanish
produce was exported to
France, England, Holland
and later to America.
It suffered a set back
during the Carlist war and
the failed French attempts
to occupy the town under
Napoleon in the 19th century. Today this event is
the main fiesta in town and
every year on January 20
the town departs on a wild
24-hour party.
The setting
The beach La Concha is a
popular sunbathing spot for
many Spaniards escaping
from the baking summer
heat inland. The water is
tempered, so brace yourself
before you jump in. There is
a spa directly on the beach,
an ideal spot on an overcast day for a hot sauna
or a bubbling Jacuzzi followed by a refreshing break
in the cool sea breeze. The
Zurriola beach is a popular
surfing beach. On windy
days it has high swells that
turn it into a paradise for
many surfers.
On the far end of the La
Concha beach at the bottom
of Monte Igueldo a statue by
the sculptor Chillida called
the Peine de los Vientos, the
wind comb, reminds the
visitor that the weather can
be a little wild here. From
here a small road winds up
the mountain to the top of
the bay, where you have a
panoramic view over the
bay, the little island Santa
Clara in the middle, the
fishing port and the town.
The mountain is Donosti’s
most prestigious area; some
of the most expensive houses in Spain stand here.
Food delights
The Basque cuisine is especially tasty. It combines the
typically Spanish tradition
with simple dishes, such
as barbecued fish or meat
and separate vegetable
dishes combined with the
creamy sauces of French
cuisine. Some of the most
famous chefs of Spain have
restaurants here. Martin
Berasategi has two restaurants with three Michelin
stars each, one in the
Kursaal and another one in
the little village Lasarte.
In the old town there are
probably more bars and
restaurants than in many
other Spanish towns. The
tradition of the daily menus
is very popular, so every
day there is ample choice to
try the local specialities.
If you are more interested
in picking and tapas rather
than a sit down meal, then
your eyes will open wide.
However, the Basques do
not really eat tapas, they
eat pinchos, or pintxos,
as they spell it. They are
imaginative combinations
of fish, meat, vegetables or
eggs or many other goodies piled on a small piece
of bread and served on a
large plate and presented
on the bar counter. In the
bars people help themselves to as many as they
like. Honesty is still spelled
with capital letters here, at
the end you tell the waiter
how many pintxos you have
had and how many glasses
of Rioja you have drunk.
PINTXOS: Imaginative Basque creations
PICTURESQUE BAY: La Concha
Thanks to the proximity
to the famous wine region,
the house wines tend to be
good reds from the Rioja
region. If you prefer white
wine, treat yourself to a
glass of Txakoli, a refreshing dry wine with a slight
sparkle.
The North of Spain is
famous for its cider. To
English taste buds it may
be a little rough and sour.
It is offered all year round,
but the best time to try it
is between January and
March. The sidrerías invite
real feasts, you pay a lump
sum and then the cider is
served directly from the
barrel and you drink as
much as you like. To soak
it up the sidrerías offer
hearty meat dishes and
plenty of the local sausage,
Txistorra, which is similar
to a spicy chorizo.
Fiestas
January, 20 is the most
important date in the fiesta
calendar in Donosti, the San
Sebastián day. At midnight
when the clock strikes 12
times, the mayor opens the
celebration. The square in
the old town, the Plaza de
la Constitución, is full of
people, most of them are
dressed up as cooks and
either have large drums
or a small wooden plate
with two drumsticks and
they started beating their
rhythms. From here the
individual societies depart
on their processions round
the town centre. They stop
at many spots and are
invited into the societies
to refresh themselves with
champagne. During the
year women are not allowed
in these places, only on the
San Sebastián day, they may
come in and join the men in
their celebrations. Do not
expect to sleep since the
drumming goes on all night.
During the day the children
continue the traditions and
drum the same rhythm as
they walk down the streets.
As it turns dark again in
the early evening, more
drummers appear again on
the streets and at midnight
they all gather on the main
square, and wait for the
mayor to thank them and to
stop their noisy drumming.
According to history, the
locals celebrate that they
could stop Napoleon in
his attempt to conquer
the town. A cook saw the
troops as they approached
the town and woke up the
entire town by banging on
his pots and pans with his
spoons.
Another highlight in
the fiesta calendar is the
Semana Grande in August.
This year it is celebrated
from August 12 to 19. It is
famous for its international fireworks contest. Every
evening at 11 p.m. one
country displays the most
wonderful fireworks. The
La Concha bay is crowded
with people who watch the
display over the water. Of
course, the Valencians, who
are very experienced with
fireworks, always participate and usually win a good
prize. After the 20-minute
display, the party goes on
until the early morning
hours.
A third occasion not to
miss is the day of Santo
Tomás on December 21.
Santo Tomás is the local
saint of the farmers. It is
a day when all the children
dress up as farmers and
offer little snacks to the
adults. Traditionally it is
a little Txistorra sandwich.
Txistorra is a spicy sausage
that needs to be fried and
drained of excess fat before
it can be consumed. The
adults tend to wash it down
with ample amounts of
Txakoli, the typical white
wine of the area.
The Basques
The Basques are one of
the oldest ethnic group in
Europe. They are proud of
their history and set themselves apart from the rest
of Spain in every respect.
Despite all the political
problems the Basques are
respectful. Donosti is a very
safe town. You can walk
around the streets in the
centre alone in the middle
of the night and know that
nobody will attack you or
try to snatch your bag.
STUNNING: The cathedral Buen Pastor
Every year in September
the town hosts its international film festival. It can
easily with the now upcoming Cannes festival. The
awards, the silver shells,
are unique to Spain, but it
attracts stars from all over
the world. If you are lucky
you can see the latest film
of a Hollywood star and
later see them walk down
a street to a little bar round
the corner. This year it is
held from September 20 –
29. There will be films like
Babel, Volver and Ghost.
Hardly ever are there
political riots. During the
summer teenagers may
get up to some mischief,
but just walk away from
the group. Political demonstrations take place on
a more regular basis, but
thanks to a high police
presence, they hardly ever
escalate. Just give them a
wide berth. They like us
foreigners and do not want
us involved in their issue
for more independence or
autonomy from the central
government in Madrid.

LEGAL AND FINANCE
ASKtheexpert...
Marc White legal expert
Stephen Ward pensions expert
Q
After accepting a
generous redundancy settlement, I left the
UK to live on the Costa
Blanca. My previous
employer operated a final
salary pension scheme of
which I was a member,
and I now have a ‘frozen’
pension in that scheme.
I will be entitled to take
my pension benefit from
that scheme when I am
65, in eight years time.
Having had something of
a health scare recently,
I wondered if my family
might lose out were I to
die before my 65th birthday.
Would there be any benefits payable to my partner
in these circumstances?
A
This raises a number
of interesting questions. Firstly, about what
the death benefits might be
in event of your premature
demise before retirement
age, and secondly, about
entitlement to those benefits
as, although it seems you
have people who are financially dependent on you, in
the event of your death you
would not leave a spouse to
whom you are married.
For those with an entitlement to a deferred pension
(I do not like the term ‘frozen’ pension, as this implies
a benefit which is fixed in
value – something that is
generally not the case) on
death before the pension age
under the scheme, the available benefit could, on the one
hand be very little. It may be
restricted to just a return
of your contributions to the
scheme, plus interest.
On the other hand, the benefit might be relatively generous. The scheme could,
for example, provide your
dependants with a lump
sum in accordance with its
rules, and dependants’ pension benefits.
The latter might, for example, be at the rate of 50 per
cent or two-thirds of the
pension that you would have
received had you survived
to age 65.
The answers to these questions should be able to
be readily found in your

If these are documents that
you have mislaid, you should
write to the scheme trustees
and ask these questions.
The second element is concerned with the scheme
definitions associated with
dependants. If there is a
lump-sum death benefit,
then it will be payable by the
scheme trustees - generally
in accordance with a nomination that you have made
- and if your circumstances
have changed you should be
sure to update this nomination.
Any pension payable following your death will be subject to the scheme rules, in
terms of who would be entitled to receive it. Sometimes,
such pensions are restricted
to being payable only to a
spouse - and sometimes a
spouse to whom you were
married when you left the
scheme.
Modern day schemes tend
to be much less restrictive,
with dependant benefits
being paid to a partner who
was financially dependent
on you, and possibly to children. Certainly you need
to ask these questions and
make sure that you are content with the answers.
If, when you know the position, you remain concerned,
then it may be possible to
create a situation where
your dependants would
benefit fully from the value
of your pension by transferring to another arrangement. However, this is an
area where you would need
to take some independent
advice.
Q
My marriage has
broken down and I
am being told that I have
no claim over assets held in
my husband’s sole name.
Is this the case in Spain?
A
This question is very
often raised and clearly demonstrates the confusion which arises where
English law and Spanish
law come together.
Where we are talking about
a British couple, married
in England and now divorcing through the Courts in
Spain, it is highly likely the
law which will govern the
divorce will be English law.
If, however, the parties are
prepared to reach an agreement and avoid the need for
contested Court hearings,
then the law to be applied
will be Spanish law.
The majority of divorce
matters between non-Spanish nationals are settled
on an agreed basis, as the
process of demonstrating
the parties’ national law, in
this case English law, is far
from straightforward.
In order to negotiate sensibly, however, one needs
to know what the default
position would be – that is
to say, unless the position
under English law is understood it will be impossible
to negotiate properly.
Recent years have seen
a number of well-documented family law cases in
England hit the headlines
for differing reasons. You
may have heard of the case
of Mr and Ms Charman,
where the wife was awarded £48m of total assets of
just over £131m.
This is a good example demonstrating that the division
of assets is not necessarily
a 50-50 split, and that assets
held solely in a husband’s
name are capable of being treated as assets of the
marriage.
In the case of Charman, the
parties had been married 27
years when they separated.
When they married, they
had no assets and all their
wealth of £131m was generated during their marriage.
They had two sons. During
the divorce, the wife accepted that the husband had an
exceptional talent and, for
this reason, rather than
seeking 59 percent of the
assets, she sought 45 per
cent to reflect this.
The husband sought a wider
disparity, with him having
the majority of the assets,
as without his talent there
would not be such wealth.
The judge awarded her 37
per cent, which amounted
to £48m.
Just short of half of the total assets were held in offshore trusts in Bermuda
and, as the husband was the
beneficiary of these trusts,
they were seen as matrimonial assets and were therefore taken into account.
The most important point
to take from the above case
is that assets held in one
person’s name will generally be considered to be
matrimonial assets under
English law. Where that
asset is a house in the UK,
for example, it is important
to act quickly and register
a legal charge against that
property in order to ensure
that it is not sold or gifted
to a third party.
Where the asset is a UK
pension fund, then a pension-sharing Order will be
needed through the Courts
in England and, for these
reasons, the parties will
require advice upon both
English and Spanish law in
a divorce scenario.

Malaysian Muslims banned
from web-trading
Muslims in Malaysia have
been banned from trading
over the Internet, according
to the country’s national Islamic council.
According to the association’s president, investments and other financial
transactions made on-line
‘use methods that go against
Islam’.
In a country where some 60
per cent of the population
(currently 24 million) are
Muslim, paying interest and
obtaining financial benefits
via the web has attracted
the disapproval of the Islamic authorities.
Despite the fact that Malaysia is not, in general, a strict
Muslim country, president
of the Islamic council Abdul
Shukor Hasin has declared
that any activities that can
lead to making a profit via
the Internet ‘must cease immediately’.
The community is particularly against any activity
that involves investmentbased money-making, says
a report in Malaysian daily
newspaper Berita Harian.
As a result, it has passed a
law (known as a fatua) forbidding such action.
A fatua is a decree passed
by a specialist in religious
law concerning a concrete
issue where the community
in question is unclear how
to act.

Pons for Subaru
Spanish driver Xavi Pons
will compete in the world
rally championship with
Subaru for the second half
of the season and 2008.
Subaru said in a statement that Pons, 27, would

The team will also have an
option on him for 2009.

that negotiations with the

Bernie explained: “At one

Spain triumph in semis
Spanish contenders Desafío Español
notched up their first win over
Emirates Team New Zealand to close
the gap to 2 - 1 in their Louis Vuitton
Cup semi-final on Wednesday.
In the second best-of-nine semi,
Italian syndicate Luna Rossa held off
BMW Oracle to move 2 - 1 up.
The closest newcomers Desafío had
finished behind the experienced
Kiwis was 33 seconds in nine previous encounters, but they got an early
advantage forcing their rivals to give
away a penalty in the pre-start.
Team New Zealand were penalised
for not keeping clear of a gybing boat
and Desafío poked their noses in front
for the first time in the semis, rounding the first mark 14 seconds ahead.
Although their lead was cut at the leeward mark, the local favourites, who
carried out mode changes to their
boat overnight, resisted and gradually pulled away over the final two legs
to record a morale-boosting victory.
They crossed the finishing line a
commanding one minute, 14 seconds
ahead, not needing to rely on the penalty, to spark wild celebrations.
Luna Rossa suffered an agonising
defeat over the final few hundred
metres on Tuesday, but were rarely
troubled by their American rivals
this time round.
Helmsman James Spithill engineered
a flying start for Luna Rossa and they
led round every mark, as they have
done in each of the previous two
races, to finish 31 seconds ahead.
After a rest yesterday racing
resumes today (Friday). The LV Cup
final, another best-of-nine contest,
is scheduled for the first week of
June with the winners going on to
challenge Swiss defender Alinghi for
the America’s Cup at the end of the

ALLARDYCE: You’re fired!
Sam Allardyce has wasted no time

Wednesday saw Titus Bramble, 25, as
the latest casualty of the new managerial broom, along with fellow defenders Craig Moore, Olivier Bernard,
loan-signing Oguchi Onyewu and
keeper Pavel Srnicek.
All been told their contracts will not
be renewed.
The announcement came as no surprise with Bramble, Moore, Bernard
and Srnicek all out of contract and
United States international Onyewu
having failed to make his mark in the
Barclays Premiership having joined
on loan from Belgian side Standard
Liege in January.
Former Bolton boss and frequent visitor to the Costa Blanca, Allardyce took

Torry marched back into fourth
place after a second half goal blitz
that left Jove Español stunned.
Credit must go to the new manager Francisco Pliego Parra (Paco
Pliego) for inspiring the players
all week and at half time. It was
a pleasure to see the rejuvenated
Torry who so dramatically took
the division by storm in the first
part of the season.
The first half witnessed a 10man defence by the visitors, and
try as hard as they could Torry
could not break them down; they
looked rigid at times and afraid
to go forward and were devoid
of ideas.
But the second half produced a
wondrous display that left you
exhausted with the wonderful
football and it all began in the
first minute of the second half
when a superb run by Roberto
Carlos down the right wing
crossed into the goal area and
found Santivilla on the far post
and made no mistake from close
range to put the hosts ahead.
After this goal and as the game
continued you could see the players and team gradually becoming more confident and the old
Torry began to re-appear.
The final score reflected the fact
that the manager Paco Pliego had
worked hard all week in restoring
team morale and looking to take
them forward to great things.
On Sunday Torry travel to Sueca
for a 5pm kick-off and coaches
have been organised for as many
travelling fans as possible. It is

Hammers at Jávea friendly
West Ham United’s under 14 team arrived in Jávea
yesterday to take part in two matches arranged by CD
Jávea football club.
The first will be at 18.00 hours on Friday 18th May
against CD Jávea’s own league winners, and then on
Saturday 19th May at 18.00 hours against a team from
Villarreal. Tickets are free.
CD Jávea have been keen to develop ‘links’ with teams
from outside of Spain and this is a further advancement
of that policy. It is hoped that although initially youth
teams are ‘testing the water’ for the Premiership clubs
this will result at some stage in the senior teams coming
to Jávea and further strengthening ties with the club.
Manchester City football club have confirmed that for
the second year running they will be taking part in the
end of season ‘youth’ tournament
Last year Manchester City defeated Valencia in the final
on penalties and CD Jávea are hoping that event this
year will be as equally well supported.
In addition to CD Jávea, Alicante have also accepted an
invitation to attend. It is believed that Villarreal are to
fill the 4th spot but the club are awaiting confirmation.
Last season’s victorious captain was Michael Johnson
who this season went on to establish himself as a regular
in the Manchester City first team and is already being
touted as a possible future England International.
Hot and slightly humid
weather, with clear bright
skies, greeted over 30 players to battle out the muchdelayed
second
round
of the stroke play Spring
Championship. A very close
finish between the 1st round
leader, Martyn Philipson,
and Dick Templeton, who
both finished with a net 141.
On a count-back, over the
last 18 holes, Dick emerged
the worthy winner. In third
place, with a net 143, was
the human dynamo Anne
Edwards. Order of merit
in Division 1, on the day,
was Anne Edwards, Terry
Collins and Dave Geeson;
all had a very creditable
net 73. In Division 2, Sue
Patterson led the way with
a net 67 followed by Dick
Templeton (72) and Bob Fell
(78). Nearest the Pin (on the
14th) was Keith Price and
Dave Geeson was the only
person to record a 2. As a
result of today’s scores Sue
Patterson loses 2 strokes and
the Captain, Brian Norbury,
gains a shot.
Next meeting is May 25.

FIFA will
rule over
Tévez
FIFA president Sepp Blatter
has promised to investigate
the row over Carlos Tévez
- and warned they can overrule the Premier League.
Blatter, the most powerful
man in world football, has
demanded to see all the
paperwork and insisted
they have got the power to
relegate West Ham from the
Premiership. The Hammers
escaped a points deduction when they were fined
£5.5m even though they
broke Premiership rules
which has left a ‘gang of
four’ clubs, led by relegated
Sheffield United, promising
legal action.
United chairman Kevin
McCabe is threatening to
take the case to court and
is being backed by Wigan,
Charlton
and
Fulham
after relegation cost the
Yorkshire club up to £50m
in lost revenue.
And now Blatter has given
them a glimmer of hope in
their fight to increase the
punishment against West
Ham.
Outspoken Blatter said: “We
will look at this - and not
only if we are asked, we will
do it anyway.”
Massa wins but Hamilton scores
Ferrari’s Felipe Massa’s performance in last Sunday’s
Barcelona Grand Prix was
enough to win him the race
but it was McLaren’s young
star Lewis Hamilton who
scored enough points to take
him to the head of the table,
pushing Alonso down to second.
The crowd of nearly 150,000
fans saw Alonso squeezed
out by Massa in a manoeuvre
that sparked a row between
the reigning champion and
the Brazilian.
But Massa, 25, driving with
great speed and aplomb, was
unflappable and delivered a
majestic and near-flawless
performance for the famous
Italian team to secure his
second victory in succession
and the fourth of his career.
Yet, as the man from Sao
Paulo celebrated his dominant triumph, it was
Englishman Lewis Hamilton
of McLaren-Mercedes who
had most to enjoy. He reeled
off his fourth consecutive
podium position since his
debut in Australia. He’s now
leading the Drivers title race
with 30 points, ahead of
Alonso on 28, Massa on 27
and Finn Kimi Raikkonen,
who retired on the 10th lap
with a mechanical problem,
on 22 points.
Sunday’s unmemorable race,
mostly a battle of attrition
that saw several retirements,
saw Poland’s Robert Kubica
finish fourth for BMW with
Briton David Coulthard fifth
for Red Bull and German
Nico Rosberg sixth for BMW.
Renault’s Keikki Kovalainen
was seventh ahead of Super
Aguri’s Takuma Sato. It was
a first points-scoring finish of the season for both
Coulthard and Sato.
Ferrari’s Felipe Massa has
since told reporters that
he suspects British rookie
Lewis Hamilton could prove
to be a bigger danger to his
Formula One title hopes
than double world champion
Fernando Alonso.
The McLaren driver, who at
22 is the youngest championship leader in the sports
history, has now beaten team
mate Alonso in the last two
races as well as finishing
his first four races on the
podium – something no
other Formula One driver
has ever achieved.

Sevilla shines
SEVILLA

Sevilla
coach
Juande
Ramos insisted his side
deserved to become only
the second club to defend
the UEFA Cup after a dramatic 3-1 penalty shootout
win over 10-man Espanyol
at Hampden Park.
Keeper Andrés Palop was
the hero with three penalty
saves after the game had
ended 2-2 after extra time.
Adriano’s
18th-minute
opener for Sevilla was
cancelled out just 10 minutes later by Albert Riera
before Espanyol midfielder
Moisés Hurtado was sent
off 20 minutes before extra
time arrived.
Fredi Kanoute put Sevilla
ahead before the turnaround but substitute Jonatas equalised again with
four minutes remaining to
take the match to penalties.
Kanoute, Ivica Dragutinovic, and Antonio Puerta
scored although Daniel
Alvés blasted high over the
bar.
But Palop made three thrilling saves from Luis García,
Jonatas and Marc Torrejón
to win a compelling game
played in a rain-soaked
Glasgow.
Ramos said: “I am proud,
happy and satisfied. We
were never behind, we
were ahead twice and they
caught up with us.
“We had chances to get the
third goal but we weren’t
able to close the game out.
“Espanyol fought hard with
10 men and it was difficult
to play against them. Finally the penalties arrived
but overall Sevilla were the
superior side.
“We won the cup last season
so we had the experience
but if things had gone the
the Circuit de Catalunya,
Hamilton assured Massa
that he would beat him soon
to claim his first Grand
Prix victory – possibly in
the season’s glamour race in
Monaco next week.
Spanish
TV deal
nets
millions
F1 officialdom has reportedly bagged more than a
billion dollars by selling the
sport’s exclusive television
rights to another Spanish
company.
Spain’s current F1 broadcaster is Telecinco, which
has recorded impressive
and continually improving TV ratings ever since
Fernando Alonso transformed the popularity of
Grand Prix racing in the
country.
Telecinco
retains
the
rights until the end of 2008,
when the channel La Sexta
– owned by the Mediapro
group – will take over for
five years until at least
2013.
Presently, TV3 broadcasts
F1 in the autonomous
Catalunya region, but La
Sexta’s exclusive deal is for
the whole of Spain, meaning that TV3 will also lose
its F1 rights.
The Spanish news agency
EFE estimated the value
of the Mediapro deal at
$1.5bn.
WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS: Sevilla hangs onto its title
way we planned, we would
never have gone to penalties.”
Palop, who was voted man
of the match, scored against
Shakhtar Donetsk earlier in
the competition to force extra time and keep his side in
the cup.
The 34-year-old admitted the
event had been perfect for
him.
He said: “I would like to
thank my team-mates and
thank God that the cup is
coming back to Sevilla.
“It has been a very complete
competition for me, scoring
a goal and saving those penalties. This will go with me
the rest of my life.”
Espanyol also lost on penalties to Bayer Leverkusen in
the 1988 final, the only other
European final they have
been involved in.
Espanyol coach Ernesto
Valverde admitted Palop
was the difference when it
came to penalties on this occasion.
He said: “We have a good
goalkeeper and good scorers
but their keeper was absolutely outstanding and that
was the decisive part of the
game.
“If I could choose a way to
lose then this would be the
way to lose. The team fought
with a great heart. We lost
the final on a penalty shootout again but we walk away
proud.
“Before the sending off
there was a moment when
I thought we would win but
the sending off affected us.”

The first 40,000 tickets made

National Football League’s
(NFL) game in London
were sold in 90 minutes on
Wednesday, the league said.
Tickets for the October 28
game between the Miami
Dolphins and New York
Giants were made available at first only to fans in
Europe.
The game, to be played at
London’s 90,000-seat newly
rebuilt Wembley Stadium,
marks the first time the
NFL has played a regular
season game overseas.
“This is a game for hardcore fans from all over the
world,” Alistair Kirkwood,
managing director of NFL
United Kingdom, said in a
statement.
“Obviously the predominant number of fans will be
from the UK, but there will
be large numbers from the
U.S. and Europe as well.”
The 40,000 tickets in the first
batch were made available
to fans randomly selected
from registered ticket
requests. The NFL said
more than 500,000 requests
were received within three
days of the announcement
of the game in February.
Ticket sales in the United
States to Giants and
Dolphins fans were expected to begin within a week,
with additional tickets
being released in Britain
next month.
